Mine: "Frankenstorm" hasn't even reached Ohio yet, but here in my Eastern suburb of Cleveland (Euclid, OH) 50 and 60 mph winds are howling in off Lake Erie. It's dark now, but the last time I looked before dark huge waves were breaking out on the lake as far as the horizon. No, not "whitecaps," breaking waves.
And this is before the hurricane winds even get here!
What is your story, and don't forget to tell us WHERE YOU ARE.
My story is that this is all ridiculous. The storm will reach me tonight and may result in some power outages. I set aside some bottles of water, have a camp stove and a bag of rice, and plan to continue business as usual. There will be those who are particularly vulnerable to power outages - like people relying on home dialysis machines who neither have generators nor have made other arrangements - who will die, but this is a big story about nothing when an ignorant, pretentious bigot is on his way to the White House. C'est tout.
Okay, I know you're in Quebec Province. But people, please tell us where you are to add some dimension to your story.
Well, it's dark, it has been raining off and on, humidity is at 90%, the wind is blowing at about 9mph, it's about 60 degrees, everyone is conducting life as usual.... It's hard to have an exciting "Frankenstorm" story when you're in Oregon. Lol.... but really I hope for the best for everyone in hurricane Sandy's path.
@ Heather... I was about to assume that you meant Romney in your last sentence then I decided it'd be true either way. Bah!
Not much to report from here. Thus far, it's been raining to varying degrees throughout the day. The wind has been picking up the last few hours, but the trees and power are holding just fine thus far. It's supposed to be worst at around 2am though.
Hagerstown, MD. The worst of our 'damage' was that our (wood) bench blew over, and a rose bush blew loose from the ground stake it was tied to. My parents (just over the mountain and a short drive a way) got 13" of rain, water seeping into the basement and are still don't have power. The mountain certainly helped shield us some, but our part of Maryland does seem to be one of the least affected areas by this storm. I'm sure those up NY and NJ way will have the 'best' stories to share.

Justin Bieber draws crowds, meets a local fan in Boston
Boston Police were on Boylston Street Friday to tame the mob of mostly young women who waited for a glimpse of Justin Bieber after discovering that the pop star was staying at the Mandarin Oriental. Our sources tell us that Bieber escaped out of the back of the hotel that night and wound up spending his evening off with 6one7Productions guys Jeff London and Ace Gershfield, who hosted him as he enjoyed some local nightlife. Bieber was in town for a sold-out gig at the TD Garden on Saturday. One of a few local fans who got to meet him before the show was Jared Bedard, a Newburyport High School sophomore with Down syndrome, who raised $7,000 to fight atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumors, the rare illness that took the life of another local Bieber fan, Merrimac's Avalanna Routh . Bedard raised the money by singing and playing guitar at local restaurants such as the Orange Leaf. Those eateries wound up donating a portion of their proceeds to Bedard's cause. Bedard's mom, Karen, says the meet-and-greet with Bieber — which was set up through Avalanna's family — was a short one, and that Jared didn't get to talk to the singer, but that the show was great.

Dewsbury is a writer and instructor of English and American Studies. In this essay, she examines Absurdism's short life as a formal movement and its long-range effects on Western culture.
Critic Martin Esslin identified the common elements shared by a number of dramatic works of the 1950s and provided the label "Theatre of the Absurd" to those works. At first, audiences found these works incomprehensible; viewers left the theaters not knowing what to make of these plays that defied all the traditional elements of staged drama. The textbook case, Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, had no plot, a setting that consisted of only a bare tree, and two characters whose actions resembled slapstick more than theater. It was produced on stage for the first time in 1953, and for the first time in London in 1955 where critics and audiences alike considered it "completely obscure." Nine years later, Esslin...

Happy Helen
Helen Bissell, 49, is one busy mother of three. Her active 17-year-old son and her job as the marketing manager for Chick-Fil-A at Augusta Mall, along with multiple volunteer activities, keep her on the go. Bissell also speaks to groups about the Holocost, as her father was a Holocost survivor.
She was happy to take a little break from her busyness with a Mommy Makeover from Dillard's at Augusta Mall. This time Dillard's had something special in mind for the Mommy Makeover: A complete Erno Laszlo facial in their spa room with Beverly Allen, market coordinator for Erno Laszlo.
Erno Laszlo is new to Dillard's cosmetic department and the skin care regimen is based on a daily ritual that is performed twice a day. Depending on the skin type, the ritual may include the application of Active pHelityl Oil and then washing the face with a bar soap. You fill a sink basin half full of hot water, dip the bar in the water and rub the bar directly on your face as an exfoliant. Then the soap is rubbed into the skin with the fingertips and finally a splashing technique (20 splashes from the basin and then 10 splashes with running water) is performed.
Toner is the next step, followed by appropriate treatments and then moisturizer. Bissell's facial included special treatments: C-Peel Two-Phase Exfoliator, a Hydrotherapy Mask, Timeless Skin serum, Tranfuse Eye serum and LASZLO BLUE Firmarine SPF 30.
After all of that pampering, Bissell headed to the Dillard's salon where Becky Graham used both highlights and low lights to add lots of dimension to Bissell's hair color. She washed Bissell's hair using Blue Malva Shampoo and Conditioner then applied Volumizing Tonic and Brilliant Damage Control before blow drying her hair. She used a curling iron to add some fun curl.
During her wardrobing session, Kimmie Jones, sales manager for contemporary better sportswear, and Dealynn Fryer, women's apparel manager, used two techniques to help Bissell know what colors and styles are best for her. First, they used a vein test to determine if she was "cool" or "warm." If the veins in your arm are blue, you should wear cool tones, if they are more green, then warm tones will look best.
Bissell's last stop was with cosmetics department manager Kristina Rester who used Lancome cosmetics to complete her makeover. "After her facial, her skin was so radiant I decided to go with a light foundation—Teint Miracle—in Bisque 6. Rester gave Bissell's cheeks a healthy glow with Shimmer Pink Pool blush and did a dramatic eye with an eye-brightening five-shadow-and-liner compact in Teal Fury. Raspberry lip liner, My Stylista lipstick and a hint of La Laque Fever lip gloss in Optical Rose completed her look.

Is this the unluckiest goalkeeper ever?
Hertha Berlin's Sascha Burchert punished twice for same mistake
The Spoiler had the pleasure of visiting Berlin's imposing Olympic Stadium last month, but we turned up on the wrong day and therefore didn't get a chance to see the rubbish team that plays there.
Despite qualifying for the Europa League this season, Hertha Berlin find themselves rock bottom of the Bundesliga following seven straight defeats. Over the weekend, they faced high-flying Hamburg and it proved to be a rough day for 19-year-old keeper Sascha Burchert. Stepping in when regular stick guard Tim Ochs came off injured, Burchert took five minutes to perform a headed clearance that resulted in an embarrassing goal. To make matters worse, the rookie keeper showed that he had learned absolutely nothing by letting almost the exact same thing happen two minutes later.
Suffering Hertha fans were also treated to an own goal, which rounded off a miserable 3-1 home defeat.

A New Jersey seaside resort struggles to save the architecture—and the memories—of the Eisenhower years
April/May 2007 | Volume 58, Issue 2
More than 100 motels have been demolished here, their corpses replaced with cookie-cutter condos that can be rented for a month or more. They feature full kitchens, geared for families who plan to eat at home, and I saw Escalades, Range Rovers, and the like parked in the driveways. The condos are not meant for the working class, and just as motels edged out hotels, now condos are replacing motels. The boardwalk games, the typical recreation for a night out on the town, mostly cost five dollars a pop (Fascination, of course, being the exception), and big-name stars never play Wildwood any more. "We came up with rock 'n' roll," said Bob Bright, Jr., of the Wildwood Historical Society, and "we went down with rock 'n' roll." And even though American parents, often wealthier than their own parents, encourage their children to take internships and aim for career-track jobs rather than work a stint on the boardwalk, the foreign students are a reminder of the larger battle about immigrant workers and their role in American society.
In the end, no matter how Wildwood changes, the lure of the boardwalk, with its bright lights and deep-fried food, holds strong. One night, out for a walk, I saw a little boy about seven years old, pushing his toddler sister in her stroller. Zigzagging all over the boardwalk, he lifted the stroller off its front wheels and tipped his sister backward. His passenger was waving her arms and legs in a perfect imitation of the grownups on the roller coasters behind her, her hands above her head and her little feet flexed and outstretched. Her giggles and shrieks were a reminder that nothing is better than a warm night at the beach, with an exciting ride to experience and some cotton candy in your sights.

Get the Recipe
After creating a recipe for gluten-free vanilla layer cake, two things came to mind: cake is awesome and I should bake more cake.
My husband's birthday gave me the perfect excuse to bake more cake! (Although, honestly, did I really need a reason?) I thought I'd try a dairy-free chocolate version of the yellow cake I recently made. So I replaced the butter with liquid vegetable oil, reduced the amount of potato starch, and added cocoa powder. Finally, I swapped the milk for coffee.
The results worked really well. Like the original, the batter came together quickly and the cake baked up high with a delicate crumb. The coffee adds a depth of flavor without turning it into a mocha cake. If you don't like coffee, the cake works well made with water or a dairy-free milk. (Of course, if dairy isn't an issue for you, just use milk.)
Since this is a small-batch recipe, it's a perfect recipe to make whenever because...cake.

Car pool tips SOURCE: City of Ottawa
Carpools are simple -- just share a ride with one or more other people. People who carpool usually live near each other or along the same route. Some carpools rotate drivers, while others have a designated driver whose road expenses are largely covered by the passengers.
Joining a carpool saves money and time. Passengers get time to eat, read, doze or just chat and avoid the stress of driving in rush-hour traffic.
You can even carpool for errands and longer road trips. Not only will you reduce your expenses, but you're likely have more fun, too.
After you've had a chance to get together with a few people who live or work near you, you can form your carpool. Start by setting up a meeting, conference call or group e-mail to discuss arrangements including:
It's also a good idea to set some basic ground rules for:

Initial report on Wang
Chien-Ming Wang threw 91 pitches today in Tampa today, 70 for strikes.
I'm still gathering the details in terms of hits and runs, but he struck out 11 without a walk and was averaging around 91 with his fastball.
Wag pitched in an extended spring training game, which is not an official minor-league game. That is why is was allowed to play.
Without being there, it's impossible to say how he looked. The AP had a reporter there and this post will be updated as more information comes in. I think almost regardless of how he looked, however, it seems likely the Yankees will put Wang on the disabled list against his wishes.
Phil Hughes (3-0, 1.86) is ready to go in Scranton and pitched last night. He is set for Tuesday in Detroit if that is what they decide to do.
Hughes pitched well last night (7.2 6 1 1 1 7) against Buffalo.
Updates to come.
UPDATE, 3:41 p.m.: Nardi Contreras just told reporters in Tampa that Wang needs more arm strength and that is sinker is not consistent enough.
I don't know what injury they'll claim he has, but every indication is that Wang will be on the DL sometime soon.
UPDATE, 4:57 p.m.: Wang allowed nine hits, four runs (three earned) against a team of Phillies prospects.

Rewatching: Saikano and RahXephon.
And since I'm here... hi ^^ I use too many emotes, and pretty much everything else in my life is also done in excess.
23,713 total episodes
the funny thing is they just released ANOTHER single since u responded (Yasashii Kotoba was "new" one, Hanafuru Yoru is the new new one)
and what's with the "actually", why wouldn't u like Sakurasou?
and how come ur never on chat when I want to chat u -_-
Oh, I had gone to #jualseta, though it was all quiet. Did Dak also make the switch? I remember seeing Taga and jmw, among others. Attack on Titan hurts me to watch, it's not only violent but... well, I already know everyone I love will die. As for Crime Edge, I was a little weirded out (first episode made me assume it was a hair fetish anime) and then the other episodes it was like "Whoa, that escalated quickly" sort of feeling. Magi (from last season) is pretty good, though I feel awkward watching it at college... Or at least the parts with Aladdin and his girl-body obsession. How about you? How are you doing and how's the shows you're watching (assuming you're watching some) ?
They have a new Eureka 7 manga. It's called New Order and it's an alternate ending to the series ! (Also, how are you? I tried dropping in irc the other day but it seemed slow and I didn't recognize a lot of the names)
tenga toppa - i will give it a try (not usually a fan of mecha, but i will still give it a shot)
my fav anime for this season are
sakurasou no pet
kotoura-san )
problem children from another world
zettai karen
are you excited for the next season of anime??
Jual-san, I just wanted to let u know that Hemenway has a new single and I think ur gonna like it.

We're just about at the finish line! "American Horror Story: Coven's" final episode airs next week and by then a new supreme should be named. The ladies will have to perform the Seven Wonders, "seven acts of magic so advanced, each pushes the boundary of craft into art," in order to determine the next high witch. It seems that the fate of some of the older ladies of the house–Fiona Goode, Marie Laveau and Delphine LaLaurie–has been decided (it's nothing pretty) and it's up to the young'uns led by Myrtle Snow and Cordelia Foxx to help return Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies to its former glory. I've watched this show from the start, my interest piqued after binging on previous seasons and by an interest in Angela Bassett's portrayal of New Orleans Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. The season has been very interesting, to say the least. And I've questioned from the start the abilities of these witches because for all the power they possess they seem very weak to the obvious. They're more typical humans than sorceresses. But things may soon change for the remaining ladies. Below, are the top stand-out moments from last night's penultimate episode. Check it out. New to "AHS: Coven?" Catch up here.
I like the way Queenie handles Papa Legba. She doesn't worship him as a god, she comes to him as an equal, recognizing his power as he recognizes hers. Queenie went to Papa Legba to help save Marie–who entered a pact with him 300-plus years ago that resulted in her being immortal and bound to making human sacrifices–and came up with a plan that would free the Voodoo Queen (kind of) and deal with Delphine. "You are one crafty witch," Papa Legba tells Queenie, to which they toast. I think this is one of the mistakes Marie made when dealing with this particular deity. She didn't come to him like Queenie did and for that she became his slave. As a (wo-)man thinketh …
Delphine giving her story a makeover. This scene tickled me the most. Delphine poses as a tour guide at her old mansion that has been converted to a museum where she retells her history. The act is so flagrant that I couldn't help but chuckle… loudly. "The elegant and universally admired Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie was not only a brilliant hostess for high society soirees but she was also renowned for her remarkable equestrian abilities and her tireless charitable works," says Delphine, looking like the beneficiary of a Tim Gunn makeover. Say what? Yeah, the tourists weren't buying it either. When one recounted the true story, she called it "a misprint" and that the "wild tales of barbarian are lies." I'm all for moving beyond your mistakes, but Delphine not only continues to hold on to the past, she also hasn't evolved in any way. And for that, her future in hell has been determined.
Watch the latest episode of "American Horror Story: Coven," "Go to Hell"

Fiona reminding her daughter Cordelia of her power. Fiona's a lot of things but a good, nurturing mother isn't one of them. She did, occasionally, have moments where her love for Cordelia was apparent. In order to save the coven, Cordelia blinded herself to regain the second-sight she had when she was previously blinded. "Did you really think self-mutilation would restore your power? You cannot lose your power. You never will; it's inside of you. And it is not something I gave to you. As much as I like to, I can't take credit for that. It's all you," Fiona says to Cordelia. Oh, now you tell her? Had you instilled this in her from jump, she could've avoided a lot suffering. Anyway, Fiona's telling Cordelia something I noted last week: if you experienced something before you can do it again–without self-mutilation.
Queenie and Cordelia rescuing Misty Day. Once Cordelia locates the crypt where Misty is buried, she and Queenie go to rescue her. Queenie has doubts about their effort and insists on getting help to which Cordelia tells her, "Stop being so literal and remember who you are. When the rest of the world sees a wall, we see a window," Cordelia says. A more confident Queenie raises her hand to destroy brick wall. "That's it. Keeping going," Cordelia coaches. Queenie performs a form of resurgence, vitalum vitalis, to revive Misty, an act Fiona once performed on her. I love what Cordelia tells Queenie because it leads her to allow her power to surface. Cordelia's encouraging the young witch like her mother should've done for her years earlier. It's so "ABC Afterschool Special."
Myrtle's cultural references. If there's one thing Myrtle is good for, it's the way she injects random cultural references into the conversation. My favorite from last night? When, upon seeing Zoe Benson and Kyle Spencer return after she sent them away, she exclaims, "You were supposed to spend your days in romantic splendor with your true love. You're just like Halston when he sold his brand to JC Penney. You've forsaken your destiny." Hilarious! With her flaming red hair that she orders in bulk from overseas, eclectic fashion sense and this cultural knowledge, she should consider writing a fashion blog: Myrtle's Musings. Girlfriend is funny.
Marie Laveau sentenced to hell with Delphine. I believe Delphine's guilt–"I'm consumed with regret"–is what led her to hell, a state that also includes her daughters–"There's no greater pain than being this close and not being able to reach you and to comfort you." After Queenie killed Delphine, she was sent to a hell where she and her three daughters are recipients of the same gross, tortuous behavior she dished out. Initially, I thought it was her own personal hell where they suffered at the hands of Delphine's victims, including a variation of Marie Laveau. Then Marie, ready to shove a hot fire poker down Delphine's daughter's throat, becomes conscious and realizes she didn't want to continue. "How did I get here. No, no, no, no–I don't want to do that! That girl ain't never done anything to me. I don't want to do that," a shaken Marie says. Then we here Papa Legba say, "You will do as you are tasked. It is your soul's purpose because I own it." Damn, Marie. Seems that Marie, consumed with the past and unable to truly realize her own power, will be Papa Legba's flunky for life. As my grandfather often said, "Let that be a lesson to you."
Deuces, Fiona! What's a witch without her true sense of power? Nothing. And that's kind of what we've gotten from our dearly departed Supreme Witch. All I have to say about this one–who was murdered by her lover, the Axeman–is that she should've taken the advice she gave Cordelia above. For all the "power" she possessed, she failed to use it appropriately. As I've stated in previous posts, had Fiona really been on her square, she would've realized that Cordelia figured out her plot when she touched the heirloom necklace and would've foreseen the Axeman's murderous rampage. Maybe her powers were weakened as the next supreme grew stronger or maybe her ego clouded her judgment. Either way, it seems she's really gone, though something tells me she may make an appearance in the finale, even if it's just her ghost.

pg_aggregate stores information about aggregate functions. An aggregate function is a function that operates on a set of values (typically one column from each row that matches a query condition) and returns a single value computed from all these values. Typical aggregate functions are sum, count, and max.
Table 3-2. pg_aggregate Columns
Name | Type | References | Description |
aggname | name | Name of the aggregate function | |
aggowner | int4 | pg_shadow.usesysid | Owner (creator) of the aggregate function |
aggtransfn | regproc (function) | pg_proc.oid | Transition function |
aggfinalfn | regproc (function) | pg_proc.oid | Final function |
aggbasetype | oid | pg_type.oid | The input data type for this aggregate function |
aggtranstype | oid | pg_type.oid | The type of the aggregate function's internal transition (state) data |
aggfinaltype | oid | pg_type.oid | The type of the result |
agginitval | text | The initial value of the transition state. This is a text field containing the initial value in its external string representation. If the field is NULL, the transition state value starts out NULL. |
New aggregate functions are registered with the CREATE AGGREGATE command. See the Programmer's Guide for more information about writing aggregate functions and the meaning of the transition functions, etc.
An aggregate function is identified through name and argument type. Hence aggname and aggbasetype are the composite primary key.

Last kooky thing I saw that surprised me?
A guy with those gloves with fabric between the fingers and booties paddles out to the reef and rips.
I should have known, because he paddled a half mile to get there, but I was surprised nonetheless.
Another time I saw a guy in a Costco foamie surfing head high better than anyone else in the lineup.
Don't judge a book...

At the risk of sounding very kooky, why is it so critical to put your board on the car with the fin in the front? I'm just not seeing the benefit of doing this, and I dominated high school physics.
Sep 24, 2013, 01:32 PM #64
force of wind pushes board backward. fins forward catch on the straps and prevent it from shooting out of the rack.
Sep 24, 2013, 01:53 PM #65
I see the logic, but let me explain why I think it's flawed. The fattest part of the board is the mid point. If your straps are on either side of the mid point, and you're not a complete dunce, there shouldn't be any risk of it sliding through the straps. Then again, better to be safe than sorry...thanks for learning me.
Sep 24, 2013, 01:56 PM #66
As pumpaster said, the fins will catch the straps if the board starts to slide. I have witnessed another man's horror story and believe me, it is not a pretty sight when a board slides off your rack at 45 mph.
Additionally, I believe that 'nose first' may put unneeded pressure on the nose which may lead to stress cracks or weak spots; especially when strapping up boards with more nose rocker.

That is only true for certain rack mounting systems. I have stated before that my Thule surfboard carrier has rubber L shaped holders that adjust to fit against the rails. There is no way the board could slide back without the brackets moving. It could fly up, which would mean your straps have already failed. In this carrier, I place boards with more rocker nose first, and longer flatter boards (my buddies 10' Allison) tail first. The aggressive rocker boards help push down into the brackets, due to airflow at speed. Mounting these backwards would create slight lift and put more stress on the straps. I can see the need to have the tail forward on simple flat rack carriers, as there is no support to keep the board from sliding back other than some straps. This just doesn't apply to all mounting systems. But hey, if people want to look at it as a general kook thing, they can go right ahead.

Thank you dlrouen for this clarification. I was born ass first, and apparently that has translated into all kinds of odd behavior over the years, including putting my boards on the roof nose first. I will correct this aberrant behavior in the future, to avoid stress cracks and the calamity of having my board shoot off the roof and fly through the windshield of some poor fella. Hope you got a few nugs lately -sea and land nugs :-)

Brush on Benefit's Hervana Box O' Powder on top of the blush left from the usage of the Benetint for a more three-dimensional look.
Trim and define the eye brows using Benefit's Browzing for neatly shaped brows (The brows have been previously done prior to the demostration).

I have a parent, that is 100% viewport height, and in this I have an img, the img size is to its parent.Is there any way to vertically center the image without having to use static height and width for it?
codepen: http://codepen.io/pen/
Hi,Try use the css code from this example:

 This line of text and the image above are vertically and horizontally centered.

Your link isn't working I'm afraid.
As mentioned above you can use display:table-cell to vertically align content and will work in IE8+ (+all non IE).
Isn't this the same question you answered in this thread which received much the same answer ?
No it is not the same, at least I don't think so.
Now I want to vertically center a dynamic image, the image-size is responsive to its parent, which is 100% viewport height. The image has 70% width as its only size-value.I have tried using table, table-cell but it doesn't seem to work in this case.
.parent{ height: 100%; display: table; } img{ width: 70%; display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; }
Do you suppose you can post another link to codepen? or maybe the same code in a working page (starts with <doctype, ends with ) here?
The image would need to be in a container as display:table-cell won't work for an image as it isn't a container for content (its a replaced element). Place the image in a container that is display:table-cell.
working example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Untitled Document</title>

Time Bandits
Supernatural child-bonding having paid off so handsomely last summer, Bruce Willis in The Kid (or Disney's The Kid, like Jesus' Son) once again plays a dead-inside workaholic who, with the help of a disturbed youngster, stumbles toward the enlightened path. Willis's snide, selfish image consultant has a phone headset grafted to his skull and a moony, masochistic girlfriend (Emily Mortimer) who puts up with his bullshit only because, she explains, "Once in a while I get a glimpse of the kid in you." Cue the titular scampa screeching, supremely irritating eight-year-old (Spencer Breslin) who turns out to be Bruce as a childand much odd-couple downtime as our hero(es) slowly discovers that the child is the father of the man.
The Kid's pedigree stretches all over the pop-cult map, from A Christmas Carol (or rather, Richard Donner's Scrooged) to spousal counterpart Passion of Mind to Jean-Claude Van Damme's Timecop, which meditated on the grave consequences of material meddling with the space-time continuumconcerns eschewed by Audrey Wells's sub-Fox Family Channel script in lieu of Freud 101 set pieces, including a boxing match between Big Bruce and Little Bruce. Director Jon Turteltaub, culpable for Phenomenon and Instinct, seems skittishly averse to framing more than one actors' face at a time, which means clumsy reaction shots and general inertia. Willis, whose limited range was touchingly deployed in The Sixth Sense, pulls his upper lip and delivers his lines with perhaps more fatuous smarm than necessary (though he and Breslin do share a cathartic weepfest late in the going that, as tearjerking ambushes go, rivals the mute moppet in The Patriot crying for "Papa!").
The final scenes, involving Marc Shaiman's shameless orchestral nudging (which, given his South Park triumph last year, evokes an evil genius grinning maniacally over a baby grand) and multiple Bruces assembling on an airstrip, is nonsensical in a way that's insulting even for a mawkish time-travel film. Referencing La Jetée in the service of yuppie self-affirmation, The Kid's denouement resembles the nightmare that would have transpired had execs foisted a toupee and a happy ending on 12 Monkeys.

The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me
Directed by Tim Kirkman
Written by David Drake
Screening Room
July 14 through 20
The original finale for David Drake's 1992 The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me, the longest-running one-man stage production in New York theater history, was set in 1999 and celebrated a cure for AIDS (the eponymous smooch refers to Kramer's 1985 watershed play The Normal Heart). The film adaptation bumps it up to 2018 and adds to its prognostications a Damon-Affleck remake of The Way We Were. If a few pockets of Drake's seven-part, semiautobiographical narrative of growing up, coming out (with the aid of Swim Team Tim, Drake's best sketch), acting up, and sleeping aroundand of constant, terrible lossseem a bit dated, his writing is so cogently personal and his performance so versatile that Larry Kramer could have debuted yesterday. Director Tim Kirkman clutters up the spare production with capricious use of slo-mo, camera shakes, chop-chop editing, and an almost comical number of angles; the live audience ends up sounding like a laugh track. But the camera's pothering is only minorly distracting; once Drake reaches the candlelight vigil that acts as his penultimate set piece, he sustains an impossible balance between mordant wit and articulate bewilderment.

Submitted by Sabin on
NEW CANAAN, CT, November 4, 2003—The Sabin Vaccine Institute, a non-profit research and education organization based in New Canaan, today concluded the second meeting of the Cancer Vaccine Consortium (CVC). The three-day meeting was held in Bethesda, Maryland and drew attendees from the United States, Canada and Europe. The purpose of the CVC is to enhance collaboration among companies undertaking research and development on cancer immunotherapies. The goal is to speed the time it will take to make cancer vaccines available among the range of therapies for cancer patients.
Several presentations were provided on the subject of regulatory affairs, including one by Kathryn Zoon, PhD, deputy director of the National Cancer Institute, and former chief of the U.S. Food & Drug Administrations Center for Biologics Research and Evaluation. It focused on the regulatory framework for cancer vaccines, including the drug and biologic development cycle. According to Dr. Zoon, approximately 200 immunotherapies for cancer are under development and 19 of those are in the Phase III, or efficacy clinical trials.
A number of presentations regarding intellectual property generated strong interest among participants, including those by Michael Whitham, Esq., a Virginia-based attorney specializing in intellectual property law with Whitham, Curtis & Christofferson, P.C. and his associate Robert N. Cook, P.C. of the same firm. Whitham addressed patents in the consortium setting, while Cook outlined patent pools and antitrust.
The meeting was attended by members of the Sabin Vaccine Institute's New Canaan offices, including Chairman H.R. Shepherd, DSc, and CVC executive director Nathan Tinker, PhD. "This was a very good meeting," remarked Shepherd, and he proposed that the group meet at least twice a year to keep the strong momentum that has developed to date.
For more information about the Cancer Vaccine Consortium, visit www.sabin.orgor contact Nathan Tinker, email@example.com, 203-972-7907.
The mission of the Albert B. Sabin Vaccine Institute is to save lives by stimulating development of new vaccines and increasing immunization rates throughout the world.

Two mothers are taking the music industry to task over songs they say are unsuitable for impressionable ears, by releasing an album of more child friendly songs.
Zeamu Music founders Barbara Bishop and Fiona Case told BBC Breakfast the idea was to make age relevant and appropriate songs for children.
Spice Girls song writer and producer Eliot Kennedy said the best way to write for children was to involve them in the creative process.

FD&C Yellow No. 10 Lake
Excipient (pharmacologically inactive substance)
What is it?
FD&C Yellow No. 10 Lake is not approved as a colorant in the US. FDA performs regulatory review for color additives used in foods, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices. D&C Yellow No. 10 Lake is a FDA-approved color commonly used to dye dosage forms such as tablets and capsules. D&C Yellow No. 10 Lake is approved for use in drugs and cosmetics but it is not approved as a colorant for food.
FD&C colors are the colors certified for use by the U.S. FDA in the food, drug, and cosmetic industry. The D&C notation specifies the color is approved only for drugs and cosmetics. The FDA states that D&C Yellow No. 10 Lake may be safely used as a color additive when their specifications are followed.
According to the FDA, lakes are formed by reacting straight dyes (such as D&C Yellow No. 10) with precipitants and salts. Aluminum is often a component. Lakes may be used as color additives for tablet coatings due to their stability.[1] [2]

Especially gratifying was seeing 1st timer Kenny Bench competing, on the donated bike that was won by UCLA's Manning Yuan, at the conclusion of the 2004 Spring series. Bench bought the bike, which was donated for the raffle by BikeTrials.com's Stephen Maeder, from Manning, so the bike is getting some use in it's intended purpose. While the heat made for a slightly smaller turn-out, the heat was on in the Stock Sport class, with perennial class leaders Terry Elam & Ian Hoffman fighting it out for top honors. Elam edged out Ian by a scant 4 points and 3 cleans, in this, Hoffman's first event since his horrific Keyesville wrist injury. Frank Loro finished 3rd, bringing pride to Flagstaff, AZ, while Nic "HopHopSnap" Gross made the journey from Visalia worth his while in 4th place. Stephen Maeder displayed his skills in taking the win in Expert Stock over Nathan Heronen of the PATH Bike Shop. Heronen endeared himself and the PATH to the riders, as he donated a PATH t-shirt to all the entered riders. Thanks Nathan! The PATH hosts group rides out of their Tustin shop every Tuesday night, so if you can swing it, make the drive over to check out their growing urban scene. Trialsking Pete Sturtevant (3rd place Expert stock) did just that one night...now he considers himself a sponsored rider! Beginner Stock Jeff Thompson rode solo to a class win, as did Thomas Elam in Beginner Mod. Lone Expert Mod rider Jon Bott rode his last event before starting the Fall quarter at Cal State Sacramento in the Fall. 2 Pro Mod riders started the event, while Zak Maeda persevered in the heat to finish, as old-schooler Jason Dunnahoe got burnt out by the 95 degree temps. All assembled seemed to enjoy the post-event watermelon feast. The next SoCal event is the Kernville Fat Tire Festival, in Kernville, CA Held the weekend before Halloween, Oct. 23-24th, this event includes great free camping and tasty sections. More info to follow. Next Fontana event is Sunday, November 21st! Thanks again to Nathan Heronen & the PATH Bike Shop for the cool t-shirt donation, and to BikeTrials.com for the Hans Rey Story DVD that was raffled off at awards. Special tip of the helmet to Christina & Maribel for checking, as well as to all the riders who checked. Zak Maeda set the sections...thanks Zak! Results Beginner Stock - Point Score / Cleans 1.

Oh yeah, this is a goodie! I was lucky enough to see it projected (16mm) back in college with a raucous crowd of horror fans. What a great screening! Glad you enjoyed it, MM! Spiffy review!
If I would be the owner of an oldschool drive-in theater, I would show this as a double feature together with The Werewolf Of Washington LOL :)
"I don't care about the cheap settings, the amateurish editing and the rubbish script - this movie is a blast!"Hahaha. That's quite an endorsement! I don't know anything about this movie, but I love the cover/poster art!
LOL I really recommend this movie. It's an obvious no-budget-flick made by unexperienced amateurs - but it's sooo much fun! :)
I am all about the cheesy fun and this looks like it has it in spades. I'll have to find this one and give it a watch.
A party movie, best enjoyed with a few friends, lots of popcorn and lots of booze :)

From Fitch Ratings
Fitch's outlook on the U.S. technology sector is stable for 2013 despite weak revenue expectations.
Fitch believes the U.S. technology sector will experience negative revenue growth in the low single digits in 2013, as a confluence of factors ranging from the U.S. debt ceiling, Europe's debt crisis, and China's government changes has resulted in excess caution from customers. Various factors should serve as mitigants to the weak macroeconomic environment such as the launch of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 and continued long-term secular tailwinds related to security, cloud, analytics, tablets, automation, and emerging markets.
The stock prices of some of the largest technology debt issuers plunged in 2012, as long-term growth expectations are being reset downward. HP, Dell, Western Union, and Xerox have experienced significant pressure on their stock prices. While the headline risk for Dell and HP are likely overblown, Fitch does believe the risks related to Western Union as an LBO candidate are viable, as the company's enterprise value to EBITDA has declined to 6.1x. It is questionable whether Western Union's current market capitalization of nearly $8 billion could be financed in this challenging environment.
Fitch believes the majority of the technology sector will be able to withstand a downturn and perform as it did in the 2008-2009 recession.
However, there are several important factors that make current businesses less flexible than in 2008-2009, including significant secular issues (printing, tablets, new chip technologies), a fiercer hardware competitive landscape, and higher dividend commitments.

See more Tweets after the cut...
Like I said...read from down up...
News, Events, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Fashion, Beauty, Inspiration and yes... Gossip! *Wink*
Osaze never mind them..we all know their ways and God is superior to them...they will live to regret their actions in Jesus name
Linda, abeg you for drop only the "punchline" tweets instead of the whole tweets stream. Osaze has been quite consistent in performance with the national team unlike the other "big boys" so I see no reason why he was dropped.
NFF is a joke...if there is a player that respects the green white green, it has to be this guy...he is one of our greatest exports and very humble too(I can testify to that)..with such treatment I really dont blame those Nigerians that go representing other country...smh...anyway Peter no too vex...u still hv a shot with the Russian team, you no what to do.
I strongly believe Osaze's hands are clean....come to think of it a lot of corruption goes down in the adminstration of Nigerian football...Osaze please keep making your legitimate money and leave those corrupt Nigerian football admistrators alone.Only God has the final Say.OSAGIE.
Nobody gat time for dis
**shudders** I never knew that this dude is not so literate.
Shoo!Na so d guy english bad reach?Haba!I could make any sense 4rm what he was trying 2 say.Lemme go tru it again and see if I'd beta undastand him.*winks*
Nigeria doesn't know how to appreciate people who sacrifice for her. Odemwingie could have played for his other country but he chose his homeland over her and this is how they pay him? That's y I don't blame d likes of emma adebayor n oguchi onyewu who chose to play forr Togo n America respectively.
He's not so literate you say, well maybe, just maybe because English is not his first language. He grew up in Russia, i am pretty sure he learnt English at a not so young age..
Its simple, Steven Keshi is so arrogant and proud. During the 1994 world cup he and Siasia were forming senior Eagles as there's what's called junior Eagles in the team then. Smh
So anybody that is not fluent in English now is an illiterate? I see!!
@Meritocrate: fool... How many degree's u get sef? Go jump into d lagoon joor!!! Looking for cheap publicisity
Don't look at his english he can speak several languages to an extent but how many of u Igbos can speak fluent igbo witout mixing it with english words?
"The only reason I fell out with Siasia was coz of inadequate kits,coz our kits were on sale during d Olympics.
They didn't invite our number 1 Enyama,coz he complained about d flight.
Why didn't Lagerback continue after d worldcup,coz his plan was chop and run,and dey knew it?
Why am I not surprised atall,d answer is simple. coz dis is Nigeria where with d corruption,mediocrity is well promoted.
Osaae ur case reminds of dat of Sunday Oliseh. Instead of addressing d issues raised by d players,our NFA opts for witchhunting and tarnishing d image of d players with d help of sports journalists in their payroll.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
The success of a coach is dependent on his players and he has to be extra wise, careful and smart in the relationship matter with them. What happen to france @the south africa world cup, chelsea saga which eventually prove Ancelotti wrong by winning the UEFA and lots of others. Some players are just rare with their skills. Have we got another Kanu up it now? So, coach need to develop a good working relationship with his player even if involve learning it. With the team Keshi parade, i wish him success but some player need cunningly worship if deem fit.

Mr peter, Bite your wound if you want to...Yes..you've this talent...but talent is not enough...I strongly believe your rude attitude ruined your chances.I think wise young stars will learn from your ordeal
Get the Nigeria's hottest gists, Entertainment news and Live celebrity Gossips
Isn't it clear what Osaze is saying? Has he not communicated? There are some really dumb Nigerians out there who wear the English language on their sleeve as an achievement...some of the greatest achievers in the world don't even speak any English.
The English Language was never meant as a yardstick for personal aaccomplishment, the English people know that how come most Nigerians don't...the sooner we toss this colonial mentality, the sooner we start developing...
Nigeria in 2012 still 63yrs backwards
So sad!.....most Nigerians think that having a degree makes you educated.....it only makes you an educated moron!
This guy was just pointing out the facts and the reasons why our country is rotten and full of half baked morons from the top to the bottom.
I give you credit for having the balls to speak out!, and that is what counts. Your message was clearly received. Bravo!!!
Am I the only one who no gree understand what ths illiterate nugga is asking about?
CoRruption!! Its just too bad. Osaz pls dnt mind dem they ar idiots. The likes of josef akpala who has been highest goal scorer for two yrs while in belgium was droppd simply bcos he refused to bribe the fucked up coach. Its too bad I tel yu too bad.... If yu dnt bribe yu dnt get an invitation oh! Excpt yu hav ǎ̜̣̍ godfather. Nonsense!
Foolish boy should have stayed in school. Horrible English
Hahaha!! Nice way of putting it. In his defense though, I'd assume that he went to a Russian school and only started using english late in his life
I actually feel sorry for him. He's playing well at West Brom so that alone should get him into the side. Also, he's now married and settled so the wildness of carrying girls with him may have ended.
It's all politics. He's also berated Yobo there with his tweet about Eagles not having a good captain.
I think there has always been disrespect between the Eagles players and the coach. NFF should take some blame.
When some other African players get dropped, they don't make noise. When Koffi Romaric of CIV was dropped last time he just got on with it. He should just knuckle down and keep working.
Keshi as the big boss, is send-less!
Sorry u musnt write correctly before u pass the message across. Its Social media, nothing serious about it.Stop being bitter, English Professor.
God bless you. Don't mind all these English professors. Y'all should get a life i'e make money and shut the fuck up.
No mind them. Na to sit for computer looking for who to attact they after. Losers.
Peter Odemwingie remains a GREAT & committed player, i don't know a player like Danny Shittu was still invited, I guess NFF is at it again! For those who feel Peter is an illiterate 'cos of social network English; na complex una get #rubish#. Have you listened to Messi, Xavi, Tevez etc before? Probably, great indian suregeons who can't speak english but perform neuro-suregery are equally illiterates!!!

He's playing football and earning all the money,you pple are talking abt english.instead of seeing reasons in what he's saying.
With all the beautiful single ladies we have in Naija, this guy went to marry Oyinbo with flat yansh, na wetin dey vex me be that......
Am with Osaze on this. He is the only consistent player we have right now and you find stupid reason(s) to drop him?. Shame on you keshi and the NFF glutons. C'mon Keshi i actualy thought you gonna be different.Mtcheeeeeeeew!
The best player Nigeria had for a long time. Always consistent and plays his heart out.... Meanwhile, the fact that he cannot write so well does not mean he's illiterate. He grew up in Russia, where English is not the first language.
Osaze, grow up!
Osaze has changed his weed supplier!
Nah...you are actually not so literate not him...he obviously grew up in russia so I'll assume that language is his 1st language and not english...stop displaying your ignorance!
Well Osaze if you had made yourself available all along the build up,Keshi would have no reason not to include you given that he even gave chance to home based players but the point is you are requesting to be allowed to come late to camp bcos your wife is expecting a baby and Keshi has a deadline to meet with submitting names,how do u imagine that you will make the team list when you will only be available 3 or 4 days to the competition..without making the camp...a sensible Coach wont be foolish enough to count of your doubtful request..it wont work..so its better you accept it dis time in good faith like Obafemi Martins who hasnt gone on twitter to rant.If you are rebellious in nature no coach will like to have you pollute the rest of the players and i bliv you would not go on twitter if ur wesbrom coach didnt include your name on a match list...So accept things in good faith and be more humble..blasting everyone on twitter doesnt seem to me that you are humble.All the best,there is always a better day..you have tried thus far
He is Russian
Anon 4:44(the one that has Sade in his post)
Stop being a bloody racist! What is your business with who he married?! Why you dey vex na you dey screw am?! Black people make me laugh, if a white person said what this poster just said, he will be called a Racist, but here your fellow black man gives a prejudiced comment and people affirm it! Hypocrisy!
Kunle you typed "Chelsea saga which eventually prove Ancelotti wrong by winning the UEFA and lots of others."
Ancelotti, Chelsea and winning a UEFA cup Europa or CL) in what era please?
OSAZE SHOULD BE WISE; WORLD CUP IS STILL COMING. hE WOULD HAVE SHOWN MATURITY HERE AND ALLOW THIS "BREEZE" TO PASS. HE SAID PRIOR THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO PLAY FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM AGAIN, AND HE WANTS TO PLAY AT THE NATIONS CUP? NOW HE IS SAYING THAT HE WILL NOT PLAY FOR NIGERIA AGAIN? HIS EYES WILL OPEN WHEN THE WORLD CUP COMES AND ALL HIS EUROPEAN TEAMMATES ARE IN RIO; NA THE COACH GET YAM AND KNIFE. HE WILL BEG AGAIN!
In plain english and vanacular u r absolutely daft...plz remain anonymous... 'Nugga' 'is askig about'??? U r a dumb fool
Osaze we d sane ones get ur msg loud clear n simple, plz ignore d ignorant moron tryin to pik faults with spellings...
Well, if this is the way Osaze is going to react, then perhaps Keshi is right not to include him. Well, Keshi may be silly for not including Osaze BUT he does not have to do that AND he does not owe Osaze any explanation for not including him. It is time for us to build up a new team using newer and younger players, the objective should not be on the short-term but focus on the long term, ie future and in this respect, I support Keshi. Osaze's reaction, whilst understandable, is immature and rather petulant!
@Anonymous, December 23, 2012 5:32 PM- thank you for that sensible comment! And as for Anon@5:23 PM, Osaze's English is actually very good- he just happens to speak it with a Russian accent, presumably because of his mother and don't forget either that he grew up in Nigeria
You don't understand english that's why u can't construe simple english
the young man speak the truth..
See literate u!!! Define literacy abeg? Is English the only language u know on earth. Mtchewww!!! Kels
Nigerian football is dead!!!!
Mr Lanre, wake up and stop being a hyprocrite, excuse my language, the problem with some of us, is, when we see the truth, we can't stare it the face. So,mr lanre, this aint entertainment news, its sports. For the English Profs. Pls go do editing for the President's wife.
Oh dear, Odemwingie has not exactly helped his case, has he??
English na your papa language? Ewu!
How stupid can some "Nigerians" get?
He even added some pigin, goes to show how much he has embraced his identity..and wish to be accepted.
Some "Nigerians" need to travel to other parts of the world to cure their inferiority complex, to understand that human beings are the same everywhere!!
Don't go freaking picking out people's english if thats not their native language!!!
he didn't need A+ in english language to make his millions in UK but your big head with your A+ can't buy a bicycle or vacation ticket for xmas for a loved one!
and na all these village champs wey learn english as adults go dey pick pipls writings apart, cos they ar TOO conscious of making mistakes
Aint nobody got time for that.
@ annon 6:29,
L̃̾Õ☺Õ̾Ô=D:D=));)ÕÔ☺ÔÕ̾L̃̾ ,u sure naija go even qualify for world cup?,even if dem qualify no be to only show face,nothing seems good in this country.
Na real 9gria jaga jaga
All you talk abt literacy whc qualification you get how expose are you you think literacy is abt spoken or writen English na your papa language no u do expose how an educated ilitrate you guys are. Lesson for you guy osaze is widely travelled than you guy more exposed older than you richer than your fathers and a paramedic. Was a medical student that's to say he has a high IQ and a very good soccer play. Wat your good at is being jobless on tweeter doing nothing and do u knw he is his father pride? Is your father proud of u? Osaze abeg tell us the truth we de reason with you help sanitize the system. Corrupt even fiFa himself knw.
He made many valid points...
You are a very wicked soul, pray to God for forgiveness. See how u just judged him, na wa oo
Chikaka: i'm neutral on this issue. My opinion were only advice. As for Ancelotti, during his reign in Chelsea, he use to bench Drogba, Lampard, our own Mikel Obi etc, but the moment Diimattio came on board, he makes use of these players very well even up to full time. We all know there was a discord there btw him(Ancelotti) and the players. What happen when Dimattio came, they won the Uefa & FA cup just to prove Ancelotti wrong. That was my point.
the fact that this guy bothers considering how much he is making(probably makes more in a week than the coach makes in a year) shows his level of committment..martins no send because he has better things to do with time
How sure are you,do you think keshi will be the one to coach nigeria in the world cup 2014,osaze I feel you.no mind dem joor.dem just dey run their mouth.you got a future anywhere osaze.
'Not so literate'?didn't u get his message?ass hole!!! so English is now ur criterion of knowing if one is literate or not?abeg carry ur wahalla commot for here.
Idiot.i bet u cant speak proper english.u dont have anything better to do than critisize another man.
this is just a case of misplaced priority the left the real issue and are focusing on his English myopic minds everyone will taste Nigeria corruption at all level wait your turn will come even olodo will be robbed of his right soon fools osaze atlichna chelavek we need you to play 4 russia they need good talents like you
Bad belle people, who told u bn literate is all about speaking English. So if I speak French and has no understanding at all of English, does that mean am illiterate? English na ur papa language?
N!gg Osaze z really pissed off at these NFF folks
To all you English professors in this forum. You think you have better sense of English Language. Merely analyzing from your writings,one can perceive you lack epitome of English Language. But you judge those who don't even need English language earn their fame.
Don't mind them.#WTF Group
Thumbs up! ..."some of the greatest achievers in the world don't even speak any English"...
Osaze, at least I see you almost every week paying for WBA and we know what you can do.
The NFF and other mafioso crew....we know their ways...Nigerian mentality...they now call it 'Crab Mentality".
You are an achiever and we know that!
osaze should move on afterall he is earning good pay @ WBA.......also he should caution his complains cos social network sometimes destroy career
Aha Kunle, thanks for the explanation. Remember Ancelotti was sacked and if he had stayed on, who knows he may have won the CL like he did when he was in AC Milan.
he sounds arrogant and extremely salty
it's about time somebody tell this twat to shut up and show him where he belongs. i hate rude children who lack simple respect for elders.
This is why this country is in this hard condition it is today.. The main issue here is at hand and some dumb person who whose heads are retards are on a different issue entirely. I believe the message has been passed across to us (readers) already, so those of you still complaining that his english is bad or nt correct should go get a life... Una car don already enter reverse since, nor b now. Una d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ see truth now na english matter hold una. Idiots.
What's d fuss?Osaze didn't really say anything out of context...
We r where we r 2day in 9ja bcos we all r xpected 2keep quiet wen things go wrong.
Osaze no mind them cos a shining star can't be hidden.
Can anybody on earth tell me why Rabiu Ibrahim and Dike is included in that team while the likes of hot form Obafemi and Kalu Uche is being dropped? Keshi nah Big Ngbada... and to you complain about Osaze english... your papa there... go use your english make 10% of the money him don make... this guy just voiced out the problem with our NFF, u dey there with your gutter smelling mouth dey complain about english... come see english people here nah wey no fit write complete sentence..
All of una wen dey look at d boy english, abeg hw much una get 4 account. Na everybody go go school, bad english but plenty money......... Osaze has made his point period
GOD will punish those NFA,that's why some players will never play for 9ja bcoz..any player that play football for 9ja they do that with all there heart..@Osaze no mind stupid people..
rather than make contributions to osaze's plight some bunch of ignoramus are busy tackling grammar. Am ashamed of many Nigerians. Is English your mother tongue? I would have preferred he made those comments in one of the nigerian languages. Bad belle people!
the result of what he is saying is draw draw and draw you moron who thinks English language is an activement.

Beat Bush
An American friend of mine visiting from South America walked away from one of last months parties around the L.A. Times Books Festival rather shaken and bewildered. I felt like I was in a loony bin, he said as we emerged from a chic book-launch party in the Hollywood Hills. If one more crazy person came up to me with some crackpot theory, I swear I would have thrown him off the balcony, he said.
I know what he meant. With the 2004 presidential campaign now under way, it seems clear that as whacked out as George W. Bush may be, hes driving his opponents even crazier. Nothing short of some sort of mass hysteria has gripped everyone to the left of Condi Rice.
Within one 30-minute period during that book gathering, my friend and I logged the following revelations offered us by some of our fellow partygoers: Bush will steal the 2004 election because Its all in the voting machines keep your eye on those machines. There will be no next election because Bush will stage an auto-coup. Bushs 70 percent approval rating for the war isnt real its a made-up number. American, not Iraqi, troops set the oil wells on fire in 1991. U.S. Marines directed and orchestrated the looting of Baghdad. Fidel Castro didnt really want to lock up all those writers and execute those three hijackers without a proper trial, but the Bush administration forced him to do it. Weve entered a period of cultural repression worse than McCarthyism. And, my current favorite, Michael Moore wasnt really booed at the Oscars instead, the network ran an amplified and prerecorded loop to discredit him. (I know this one is crazy because I alone booed loudly enough from my Woodland Hills living room to be clearly heard in the Kodaks upper deck.)
Where does all this paranoia come from? Fluoride in the water? And these hyperbolic views are hardly confined to the political amateurs drawn to Sunday-evening gatherings by finger food and Chardonnay. In the current edition of The Nation, Princeton professor emeritus of politics Sheldon Wolin argues that the Bush administration has embarked on building a regime akin to that of Nazi Germany and that ordinary GOP voters might be no less than the mass base needed for totalitarian rule (wait till my poor blue-rinsed Aunt Gertie finds out she actually joined up with the Sturmabteilung when she voted last March for that nice-looking Billy Simon).

Even this months liberal American Prospect proclaims George W. Bush as The Most Dangerous President Ever. I can buy the notion that Dubya might be the worst president ever. But the most dangerous? More dangerous than nuke-slinging Harry Truman, who also set up the CIA, helped spawn the Cold War and opened the doors to Senator Joe from Wisconsin? More dangerous than LBJ, who murdered a couple of million Vietnamese? What about a drunken and pilled-out Dick Nixon playing atomic roulette during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War?
Ill be the first to admit that its galling to watch a smirking C-minus daddys boy like George W. Bush get away with so much. But lets not lose our grip on reality. Things are bad enough that we need not exaggerate or fabricate. What really worries me is that by magnifying the damage Bush wreaks, we pave the way to settling for some really, truly sorry alternative like, say, Dick Gephardt. We also make it much harder to beat him.
Those who deny Bushs popularity and his appeal arent so much living in Nuremberg as in la-la land. To millions of Americans still traumatized after September 11, watching Bush strut onto the flight deck of that aircraft carrier in his TV-friendly pilots suit last week was a much more reassuring image than that of Big Bill getting his weenie waxed under the desk while taking congressional phone calls about Bosnia.
So lets do a quick reality check. No, Mr. Wolin, we are not living in Nazi Germany nor anything vaguely resembling it. And arguing that Bush is some sort of Nazi isnt going to win over a single undecided vote. Bush has shown more or less the same zeal to roll back civil liberties as Clinton did after Oklahoma City. And you can be sure John Ashcroft has a soft spot in his heart for Janet Reno, who didnt flinch on extending the death penalty.
Tim Robbins, Janeane Garofalo and the Dixie Chicks are going to continue to make millions of dollars, thank you very much. And some deluded right-wingers pushing commercial boycotts and attack Web sites are a far cry from the blacklists, loyalty oaths and mass firings of teachers of a half century ago.
What we are instead confronted with is a highly ideological conservative administration that wants to go even further than the Democrats in lavishing tax giveaways and regulatory benefits on the corporate elite. Weve seen this before in American history, and we have survived, without having to learn German.
With unemployment at an eight-year high, consumer confidence stalled, and even some moderate Republicans bailing on the most insidious tax-cut measures, the administrations domestic program is in tatters. Plans for privatizing Medicare and Social Security have been scuttled by the soured stock market. Dreams of endless war seem to be crashing on the hard beach of Iraqi Shia intransigence and decaying security in Afghanistan. With the unexpected demotion of Occupation Proconsul Jay Garner this week, there are even suggestions that the balance of power in the administration might be tipping away from the neoconservative Jacobins and back toward the corporate types.
Bush can be beaten. But not if we speak in a language that is alien and offensive to those we wish to convince. Their fears are real and legitimate and should not be dismissed as solely effects of watching too much Fox TV.
As a teenager, I was attracted to the left because of its commitment to rational and cool-headed analysis. It was amusing to watch the Birchers and the extreme right twist themselves up into feverish rants against secret U.N. cabals, one-world government and, yes, water fluoridation. Lets not become like them.

While actress Elise Neal won the role of Gladys Knight in a forthcoming Aaliyah biopic, the 'Empress of Soul' made it clear that she wants R&B diva Kelly Rowland to portray her if her own biopic ever comes to light.
But, does Rowland have her sights set on another music monarch?
The 'Down For Whatever' diva may be throwing subtle hints that she's down to portray 'Queen of Disco' Donna Summer in a forthcoming film based on Casablanca Records – the label that brought Summer to fame. Stirring fans into a heated frenzy this week when she took to Instagram to upload a snap of her rocking a hairdo inspired by the 'Hot Stuff' singer, her loyal #RowlandStones almost unanimously urged her to pursue the role.
Kelly has not made it clear that she is interested, but what is clear is that the film is happening (as we reported here) and is set to be led by Grammy winning star Justin Timberlake.

Sarah Womer, founder of Zero to Go, trash blogs on the challenges of e-waste recycling that face Hudson Valley residents.
I believe in responsible electronics recycling. If I bring an electronic item for recycling somewhere, I expect that it won't be exported to developing nations to be dismantled in unsafe conditions. The following is also true: it won't be sent to an incinerator or landfill, and any data I wasn't able to remove will not be jeopardized. All of these requirements are met when the recycler handling the e-waste has an e-Steward certification. Unfortunately, these e-Steward certified recyclers have little to no representation in the Hudson Valley of New York.
The local representation they do have is with Best Buy, and or Staples– both companies are e-Steward Enterprises having committed to using e-Steward recyclers for their downstream processing. The other big box stores that have electronics collection programs use recyclers with only R2 standard in place. In addition, the 16 electronics recycling events happening in the tricounty region this year will not be using e-Stewards.As someone who's organized multiple e-waste drives in my community with e-Steward recyclers, I have firsthand experience talking to the public about these issues. Explaining the benefits of bringing unwanted e-waste to responsible, transparent and accountable recyclers feels right. If I didn't have this kind of confidence in the recycler, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I'd lied to the 400+ people in my community who participated in the event. But that was last year and the year before.
This year, we don't have the ability to work with an e-Steward recycler and I simply point everyone to Best Buy or Staples.
The reason? Because these community e-waste drives generate thousands of tons of computer monitors and televisions, about 80% of everything collected. TV and monitor recycling is a costly and difficult matter (see the recent NYTimes article for more) and recyclers are losing money by taking them in. Most e-Stewards in the area have simply stopped doing events, and focused squarely on handling recycling with businesses. That leaves the recyclers with R2 certifications handling everything, and they can't trace where it all ends up. The three counties that put most of these events together don't care enough to choose the better recyclers, and for me, it's like yelling into the wind. I don't know what it's going to take to have more e-Stewards doing quality work here, but I do believe we deserve better.
