Highway Patrol: Up to 60 vehicles involved in crash in Ohio
MORROW COUNTY, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) -- The State Highway Patrol is tending to a massive pileup in Morrow County with up to 60 vehicles involved on a Morrow County highway.
Dispatchers said at least 40 vehicles were involved in the wreck with several minor injuries reported. A snow squall is believed to have played a factor in the pileup, an ODOT spokesperson said.
All of I-71 northbound is shut down at Ohio Route 95 at mile marker 151 and may be closed for several hours, according to a highway patrol official. The southbound lanes between mileposts 154 and 155 are moving at 20 miles per hour.

KnowledgeBase 00052: Heading and Footing Extensions
QM adds some useful new control codes to the definitions of page headings and footings. Everything described below for headings applies equally to footings. Except for the B control code which is specific to the query processor, all codes apply to both the query processor and QMBasic applications.
B - Breakpoint Text
The B heading control code used in conjunction with the B code in a BREAK.ON or BREAK.SUP qualifier captures the new value of the breakpoint field and inserts it into the heading. This is common to many multivalue products but can only be used on one breakpoint. QM extends this for multiple breakpoints by qualifying the B code with a single digit number, 0 to 9. Use of B0 is equivalent to use of B.
Combining C and G
QM allows the C (centre) and G (gap) control codes to be used meaningfully in the same line of a heading. The line is considered as a number of sections separated by the G control codes. The section in which the C code appears is centred and then items either side are set out in the remaining space.
H - Horizonal Position
The Hn control code sets the column number (from 1) at which the remainder of the text on the same line will start.
O - Odd/Even Page Reversal
The O control code reverses the sequence of the G separated elements of a heading line on even numbered pages. This can be useful when printing double sided reports.
Other Control Codes
The following control codes behave similarly in QM as in other multivalue systems that support this style of heading control code.

King Cake With Kittee!
Today, Kittee and I got together after my class got out (we had a special half-day today!), and we made King Cakes together! Her mom is in town, so that was a double bonus! All three of us had fun hanging out in the kitchen and cooking together. It was such a blast. Be warned! Kittee and I are both planning on blogging all about our fun day together using the same pictures. So you should check her blog and she what she says about them too!
First things first. Kittee and Dazee have the world's cutest dog. His name is Vee and he is really beautiful. He has golden eyelashes that are about 3/4-inch long. It's amazing. I had a treat in my pocket, which is why I was able to get such a cute picture of him in the kitchen.
We mixed up our dough, using Kittee's recipe found on her website. We didn't have a mixer though, so we had to take turns kneading the dough. We made a triple batch: one for me, one for Dazee, and one for Kittee's friend. We made our dough and set it out on the porch to rise in the sunlight. Isn't that very down-home of us?! The dough rises for a while... "until it doubles in size"... so we set out on some errands.
One of our stops was George's Farmers Market - a favorite produce stand of Kittee's. This place is totally rad, just the way every good Mom 'n' Pop Southern produce stand should be - bags of nuts and beans and cans of every kind of home made pickles and preserves, local produce... I bought a few goodies including a big bag of local Louisiana Satsumas. When we got there, George was feeling pretty cranky about all the zulu coconuts they had to paint for Mardi Gras, so I didn't take his picture, but I did get this super cute picture of Kittee and George's wife Charell. She had just had a huge coffee, and she was really buzzing around. What a sweetie!
George and Charell's daughter Joyet was in the back of the shop, decorating their Zulu Coconuts. This is a Mardi Gras thing, which Kittee will surely explain better. George is part of the Zulu Krewe, and come Mardi Gras, they will parade with their float and hand out these special, very desirable, zulu coconuts to deserving revelers on the streets.
Aren't the coconuts beautiful!? Can you see, they have a big fancy Z and the "ulu"? And they're not all purple and black- she had SO MANY buckets of different colors of glitter.
Well, we came home from our errands, and look what was waiting for us on the porch! All poofy! Can you see the bump? We were very happy.
Together, we punched down the dough. Kittee was very lady-like and used one finger, while I was a big brute and punched it in with my whole fist!
Next, I rolled out the dough really wide and really long. Kittee's rolling pin is packed away, so I used this bottle of wine. You know what? It was a really freaking great rolling pin. The dough was so great - springy and smooth and elastic.
Then we mixed up some Earth Balance and cinnamon and sugar. This is a gross picture! I did not intend for it to look like I was about to eat an entire stick of Earth Balance! Ewww. For the record, when we made our second King Cake, we used a different, superior method. We just softened a couple tablespoons of EB, spread it on, and sprinkled on the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Do that.
Here is my rolled out dough with Cinnamon-sugar-Earth balance mixture spread on. Next, we carefully rolled it up into a long tube. I didn't take pictures, because this was a two person job! I felt like we were wrestling a giant anaconda of king cake dough.
Then we shaped our long snake into an oval ring and set it on the pan.
do you know what? We forgot the baby! King Cakes have a little baby hidden inside, and if your slice has the baby in it, you are supposed to bring the king cake next year. That is what I have been told anyway... not like I'm suddenly some sort of King Cake expert! Well, we didn't have any of the fancy modern plastic babies, so we used the traditional method of using a dry bean.
However, we were slightly untraditional, because we used a Sharpie pen to draw a little baby in diapers on both of our beans. Kittee was suddenly possessed, and we did a whole photo shoot of her balancing the baby bean on her nose, out on the front porch.
So, we are not the first people who have forgotten the baby, and there is an established method for handling this situation. We stabbed a little slit in, and slipped in the baby bean. Then we pinched it back shut, and popped it in the oven.
While it was cooking, we mixed together sugar and some fancy food coloring paste that Kittee pulled out of her pantry. See, we made Purple, Green, and Yellow. Those are the Mardi Gras colors, and you don't mess with that. Incidentally, I am lucky to be visiting Kittee at this time, as it seems that these locals are also very picky about only eating King Cake during Mardi Gras time. The season has just officially begun, so we have the go-ahead for this culinary adventure.
See my gorgeous King Cake!? That's mine on the tinfoil, and Dazee's is down below, about to pop in the oven.
Next up, make the icing. This is powdered sugar and Cointreau liquor. There's orange zest in the batter, so we thought the orangey ness of the liquor in the glaze would be good. Kittee says that the glaze has to be thick, but *just* thin enough that you can pour it. The pouring thing is very important.
There it is, all covered in icing. No one knows where the baby is! (Except me, and Kittee, and Kittee's mom - but we're not telling!)
The next step was super fun! Sprinkling on the colored sugar! Kittee also had some super wonderful "edible glitter" that was a lighter purple, and so she added some of that to the purple zones. Isn't it crazy looking and beautiful? I was dancing in the kitchen, I was so happy. What a great time.
Here is another shot, because I am feeling boastful. Ha! I've carefully transported my special vegan king cake back home to my B&B, and tomorrow I plan to bring it to share with all the other friendly folks in my yoga course. I'm sure it will be a welcome treat after so many hours of extremely refined and esoteric conversation!
Kittee is totally rad. Believe the hype! Thanks for a wonderful day, Kittee & Kittee's Mom!

Sounds like you had so much fun! Hiding a "baby" in the bread is a weird tradition, but it would be fun to get the piece with it hidden inside.ReplyDelete

Is it safe to have something with marker ink on it (the bean) mixed with food?ReplyDelete
All that colored sugar...blech.
(Sorry--I usually love your stuff!)
Hey Anonymous!ReplyDelete
No need for apologies, I totally get it! Yeah, I thought of the thing with the bean and the sharpie too... but I figured it was such a TINY amount... and was happy to see that the drawing on the bean was very intact when my friend Michael got it on his slice.
The whole King Cake thing is definitely a big crazy weirdo indulgence! I'll go back to my usual whole foods, cooking from the farmers market approach once I'm back home!
Could you please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Don't come home without Vee! He's too cute! I'm glad to see your having a great time. Peaceful travels! -SandyReplyDelete
I love your King Cake Amey!! How cool that you got to learn from the master of vegan king cakes. I'll bet it was an awesome time. Laughed at your photo of you looking like you were gonna eat EB!ReplyDelete
Ok now. First off, hands off our dog! FC* Vee is staying in NOLA, with his mama and pappy, thank you very much. As for the colored sugar, it's quite possible to use natural colors if that's your thing. You can pick some up at most hfs, or you can color it yourself. Purple from blueberries, green from spirulina and yellow from turmeric. This is how our local Whole Foods color them, so I know it's a possibility.ReplyDelete

By Jeff Caplan, NBA.com
HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — LaMarcus Aldridge has put his name on it. In a year we'll see if he owns it.
The Portland Trail Blazers' All-Star power forward, seemingly so close to forcing his way out only to be coaxed back in, primarily by the drafting of young All-Star point guard Damian Lillard and a roster re-tool over the last couple years that led to the Blazers' first playoff series win in 14 years, is now not only talking about re-upping with Portland for the maximum five years, but playing out his career in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
Here's why:
"I want to be the best Blazer — ever," Aldridge told Oregonian beat writer Joe Freeman on Tuesday. "I should be able to leave a mark on a big-time franchise that is going to be seen forever. And I will be able to say I played here my whole career. This city has embraced me and grown with me. I have so much history, it just makes sense to stay."
And here's how close he already is to so many franchise marks. From Freeman:
Aldridge's name is dotted up and down the Blazers' record books, listed among the leaders in a host of statistical categories. Next season, he conceivably could move into the top five in blocks, free throws, minutes and games played, while also moving past Clyde Drexler to become the Blazers' all-time leading rebounder and moving ahead of Terry Porter into second place in scoring. If Aldridge signs that long-term extension next season, he will set himself up to finish his career as the leader in every major category in Blazers history.
With Free Agency 2014 still in a holding pattern, Aldridge, one of several Big Fish who can become a free agent in the summer of 2015, certainly sounds as though his situation will be less LeBron James and more Dirk Nowitzki.
He told the Oregonian that he will not sign a contract extension this summer, but only because he plans to sign a new contract next summer. One of the odd quirks of the collective bargaining agreement is that it allows players to fulfill their current contracts, enter free agency and then re-sign with their teams for more years and more money than they could by signing an extension.
If Aldridge were to sign an extension this summer, he would play out the final year of his contract at $16 million, then begin a three-year extension for $55.5 million. However, if he becomes a free agent, he can re-sign next summer for five years and $108 million.
My theory on this is the NBA craves the offseason buzz created by free agency. Just look at what's gone on since July 1. Extensions are boring. Free agency is suspenseful with a limitless rumor mill and headline potential. So even with a player who says he wants to stay with his team, the media can, and will create "what if" story lines throughout the final year of the player's contract and into free agency.
LaMarcus Aldridge says he wants to re-sign, but will he really? Wouldn't he rather play in New York or Los Angeles or Chicago … or his hometown Dallas ?
Last month, Portland owner Paul Allen and general manager Neil Olshey put a three-year, $55.5 million extension on the table, but knew Aldridge would not sign it. It was a formality, a good-faith move. The billionaire Allen will be happy to pay the $108 million tab next summer.
And it's great news for the Portland fan base, one of the most devout in the league. In an age where the grass always seems greener elsewhere — and we might be seeing it again with James and Carmelo Anthony — Aldridge a Dallas-area native, seems to be viewing the full arc of his career that has now spanned eight seasons all in Portland.
Last season marked his third consecutive All-Star appearance, and it probably should have been his fourth. Aldridge had the best year of his career under coach Terry Stotts, who completed his second season. Aldridge averaged a double-double for the first time in his career, 23.2 ppg and 11.1 rpg. He thrived with the addition of blue-collar center Robin Lopez to handle more inside dirty work and lessen Aldridge's defensive responsibilities.
Aldridge turns 29 on July 19, and assuming he signs the five-year pact next summer, he will be playing his remaining prime years in Portland. He'll turn 35 when that deal expires. Nowitzki, who stuck with the Mavericks through thick and thin, just completed a four-year deal at age 36 and has agreed to three more years for $30 million.
The Blazers were one of the great success stories of last season. How the next season unfolds could either reaffirm Aldridge's stance or, if the team takes a step back, make him think twice.
For now, he has stated his intentions. We'll see if they remain the same one year from now.

DOJ Hints At Additional Charges Against Kim Dotcom If He Launches Megabox
from the you-wouldn't-want-to-do-that,-now... dept
That said, it appears that the Justice Department has seen the PR reports about the new vaporware and are effectively pre-warning Dotcom not to go forward with the plan.
A new filing from the DOJ in the US side of the lawsuit (embedded below), is really a response to Megaupload's recent request to have the charges against the company temporarily dismissed until such time as the individual defendants are extradited. As we've explained, this is mostly a procedural fight, over whether or not the company itself can be charged, despite not having a US presence. None of that directly impacts the individuals who have been charged, but certainly could impact the company's ability to launch a new business.
The DOJ filing mostly argues that there is no legal or practical reason to allow the case to be dismissed, even temporarily, as the individuals are still charged, and re-charging the company at a later date will just waste resources. It also argues that Dotcom's US-based lawyers are the real problem here, as they had offered to accept service of the lawsuit in exchange for some sort of deal early on (which the DOJ refused).
What's interesting about the filing is that, without directly addressing the new effort to launch Megabox or whatever Dotcom is calling the new thing, they appear to be warning him that doing so may lead to additional charges against him. The argument as it relates to the procedural question is that, in his push to be allowed to post bail in New Zealand, Dotcom clearly indicated that he would not and could not restart Megaupload or a similar business, because the government had so completely shut him down. As that relates to the procedural question, the DOJ is arguing that there can be no "harm" to the company Megaupload because Dotcom has already said he won't relaunch the company. So if he won't relaunch, what does it matter if the company is charged now or later?
But then the DOJ goes a little further. After it uses all those quotes of him promising not to relaunch anything while out on bail, the DOJ tosses the following into a footnote:
Defense Counsel's claim that the corporate defendant can and should be allowed to operate undermines the sworn statements of Dotcom that he has no plans or ability to continue to operate or fund the businesses in the Indictment during pendency of the extradition process. If defendant Dotcom intentionally misled the court in New Zealand about his intentions and capabilities in order to obtain his release from pre-extradition confinement, it seems Defense Counsel's representation might endanger Dotcom's bail situation or even subject him to additional charges.In other words, beyond this procedural question, the DOJ is hinting that if Dotcom launches something new, they may say he violated the conditions for getting bail.
The DOJ also uses this as an opportunity to (once again) try to block Megaupload from using its law firm, claiming that because the lawyers are arguing for the case against Megaupload to be dismissed, and this might lead Dotcom to launch something new, that there's a conflict of interest:
The issue raised by the claim of Defense Counsel is particularly awkward since defendant Dotcom is also their client. As the government has pointed out repeatedly, there are a number of conflicts in Defense Counsel's representations of the various defendants in this matter, of which this is only the most recent example, that have yet to be reviewed by the CourtNone of that actually makes much sense. Whether or not they have a legitimate claim for getting the case against Megaupload dismissed, that is a separate issue from whether or not Dotcom launches something new. While I'm guessing the procedural fight is a dead end, the fact that the DOJ is even using that to toss additional threats at Dotcom should he launch his new project shows that they'll leave no stone unturned in trying to hit back at Dotcom.

Health roundup: Seniors at risk for post-hospital ills
Your Thursday morning health roundup:
Hospitals and harm: Nearly one in five adults over age 65 who are discharged from hospitals will be back with different illnesses within 30 days, a new report says. Some experts are calling the phenomenon "post-hospital syndrome" and putting part of the blame on the stress, sleep loss and inactivity associated with hospitalization. Other experts note that it's important to consider the benefits of hospital treatment as well. (NBC News)
New IUD: The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new intrauterine device (IUD) that women can use to prevent pregnancy for up to three years. The Skyla IUD, from Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, contains a progestin hormone. (Reuters via Huffington Post) Meanwhile, a study shows that an already-available IUD from Bayer, Mirena, works better than alternative treatments to control heavy menstrual bleeding. It is already approved by FDA for that use. (WebMD)
Tanning and TV: College women who watch reality TV beauty shows, such as America's Next Top Model or Toddlers & Tiaras, are more likely than those who don't to seek tans, indoors or outdoors, a new study shows. The study doesn't show which comes first. (Reuters)
STORY: 700 cases of flu prompt Boston to declare emergency
STORY: FDA might tighten reins on Vicodin
Today's talker: There's extreme dieting -- and then there this: the AspireAssist, a device that makes it possible for over-eaters to pump their own stomachs after every meal. The device is used in Europe but is not approved in the United States. It is not getting a friendly reception from weight loss experts here. Keith Ayoob, an associate clinical professor of nutrition at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City calls it a "bulimia machine" and told ABC News: "This is an enabling device, not a helping device.".

Seven Continents, Seven Seas
Exhibition Dates: February 9th, 2012 – March 24, 2013
This year marked the tenth anniversary of the gift of the entire holdings of the former Kendall Whaling Museum to the permanent collection of the New Bedford Whaling Museum. This provided a fitting occasion for showing highlights, reflecting the broad international and chronological compass of our combined collections.
Oil on canvas by Esaias van den Velde, Dutch, circa 1617. (2001.100.4763)
The core collection of the Old Dartmouth Historical Society concentrated on the whaling and manufacturing history, seafaring prowess, and ethnically diverse community of the New Bedford Port District. The Kendall Collection brought unprecedented compass to the international and multicultural dimensions of the Museum's mission, enlarging the context of New Bedford's role as the hub of a great and far-reaching network of seaborne enterprise, and as one of the most cosmopolitan and multinational municipalities anywhere. An array of Dutch Old Master whaling paintings were represented, along with major British marine paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries, a few by Continental European and American painters (some by artists from New Bedford), visions of Africa, Australia, and Antarctica, and one or two of our 30+ Japanese scrolls. In fact, all seven continents and all seven seas were represented in paintings and watercolors, seasoned with a handful of ship models and sculptural works, selected for their artistic merit and diversity.

Molluscum Contageum Anyone?
Dd and ds both have it. They're tiny little wart-like bumps, flesh colored, that chain and spread, commonly on children's trunks/arms/bottoms. I have no idea where they picked it up. It started maybe a year ago with one tiny bump, in the exact same place on their chest, on each of them. It has spread down their bellies, with dd's inner arm recently getting covered, and ds has a few near his man bits. I've heard the whole spiel from the ped. They'll disappear on their own as soon as their immune systems recognize them. Well, how long can that take? My nephew had these a few years ago when he was 4, and my brother had them individually frozen off (80+). They swear it wasn't that bad, but no thanks.
I wouldn't mind waiting for them to go away on their own, but dd is starting K this fall and is getting very self concious about them. She keeps asking if they'll be gone by then, and will other kids laugh. Poor thing. Plus, even though they're not really harmful, they are contageous, and I'd hate for the child sitting next to her to end up with them.
So I did a lot of surfing last night and found ZymaDerm. It has great reviews and is supposed to be gentle on the skin, not leave scarring, work in 30 days or so.
Has anyone tried it or any other remedies? Or if you let them go away on their own, how long did it take? Any other experiences with these little buggers?

Re: Molluscum Contageum Anyone?
I know nothing about this virus, but I remember reading that duct tape applied to a common wart would help it clear as it provided an irritation that the body recognized and then fought.
Maybe that would work for this virus too?
I quickly looked up info on wiki and it suggests a few different treatments:
I SO feel for your DC! If it is contagious I would think that would be reason enough for the doc to remove them, if that is what your DC are comfortable with.

Re: Molluscum Contageum Anyone?
My DD had these on the side of her torso (under her arm, but not arm pit, if that makes sense).
We tried the duct tape thing, it didn't work. We ended up freezing them off, because she scratched one of them off and it spread to like 15 more. I had one of the at-home freezing kits for warts, and did it when she was sleeping (she never woke). Our Dr told us to go ahead with treating them at home, and said that freezing the skin causes the body to recognize something needs healing, and when the body goes to repair the frozen skin, it sees the virus there and attacks it. Fortunately, they were relatively easy to get rid of and left no scars.
My friend had them, and the doctor used some sort of razor thing to lop them off (I get shivers thinking about it, but she says it was fine). If your DC wants them removed, I would do it.

Re: Molluscum Contageum Anyone?
My son had them from about 6 mos until close to 2 yrs old. Then one day we noticed they were all disappearing and there were no new baby ones.
I tried some kind of derm-something stuff from the pharmacy (OTC) that did nothing at all, but a friend of mine said it cleared her dd's molluscum up right away.
I would personally wait a little longer and then think about taking her to the dermatalogist in a month or 2.

Re: Molluscum Contageum Anyone?
Also, if they are lanced, they shrivel up and die. But she will still keep getting new ones.

Re: Molluscum Contageum Anyone?
My dd had them, and they kept getting worse. The ped said we just had to wait for them to go away. Well, I started giviing her a homeopathic remedy for molluscum contagiosum (Thuja) and they (100+) were almost completly gone w/in a week. Definitely worth a try. Oh, and do your best to strengthen their immune system, as it is a virus and the body has to fight it off. Vitamin C, raw garlic, whole foods, etc.
Oh, and she had them for about 4-5 months (Thanksgiving to March). The virus is a pox, so I wonder if the fact that dd had Chicken Pox last year helped her body recognize the virus, and the homeopathic remedy helped speed it along??

Re: Molluscum Contageum Anyone?
Thanks guys, some very interesting comments. That does make sense about the body healing the freezing and then noticing the virus. I read about tape, but she has so many, prob 50. Boosting the immune system with vit C is a great idea. And I'm going to look into the Thuja, hadn't come across it yet. Lancing...shiver. I can't do it. She would freak out. I did go ahead and order some ZymaDerm. After dh saw it he was all about it. He's very worried about her being made fun of. I guess we'll have to treat ds too. I would leave his, he's only 2, but dd would end up getting it again from him I'm sure.
Thanks mamas!

Beno Helmer
Born: August 21, 1923
Teplice-Sanov, Czechoslovakia
Beno was the oldest of three children in a Jewish family. His mother, originally from Austria, came to Czechoslovakia after World War I. Beno's father, a Swedish Jew, arrived there in search of work and became a successful merchant. The German-speaking Helmer home was frequently full of guests. Every day some students from the local rabbinical academy were invited to join the family for a meal.
1933-39: My parents sent me to Budapest to attend high school. Later, because of my talent with languages, I got a job as an extra in movies. Each scene was shot in German and Hungarian; since I was fluent in both, I was always on the set. After my parents fled to Budapest to evade the Nazis, they tried to bribe a Hungarian official to help us. But this backfired; we were deported to Poland. I ended up in Lodz, just before war broke out.
1940-44: We were always hungry in the Lodz ghetto. People were dying all around us. In the ghetto I worked scooping out cesspools with a cooking pot. One day the Nazis took us into a home. They lined us up in a semicircle. One lady had a child. A Nazi asked, "Whose child is this?" Terrified, the mother did not admit that he was hers. He took the child by the legs and swung him against the wall, killing him. Paralyzed by fear, the mother looked on as if the child belonged to someone else.
Beno survived the Theresienstadt ghetto, and the Auschwitz and Buchenwald camps. After the war he helped track down war criminals in Europe. In 1947 Beno settled in the United States.

After reaching Uppsala University, Stockholm, Christiane tried to find what it was all about but just couldn't understand anything.
-January 2011, Schaefer attended an Uppsala conference on computational linguistics. Ordinarily talks like this gave her a headache. She preferred musty books to new technologies and didn't even have an Internet connection at home. But this lecture was different. The featured speaker was Kevin Knight, a University of Southern California specialist in machine translation—the use of algorithms to automatically translate one language into another. With his stylish rectangular glasses, mop of prematurely white hair, and wiry surfer's build, he didn't look like a typical quant. Knight spoke in a near whisper yet with intensity and passion. His projects were endearingly quirky too. He built an algorithm that would translate Dante's Inferno based on the user's choice of meter and rhyme scheme. Soon he hoped to cook up software that could understand the meaning of poems and even generate verses of its own.
When Knight asked whether any one had some thing that needed code breaking, Chrisitiane remembered the manuscript and she gave it to him.
Through a painstaking process the Language was identified, German.
Then came the shocking discovery, The Manuscript was detailing the Initiation Ceremony of of 'Oculist' sect,'Active in the mid-18th century, the Oculists fixated on both the anatomy and symbolism of the eye. They focused on sight as a metaphor for knowledge. And they performed surgery on the eye. "We exceed all other [healers] by being able to pierce all cataracts, whether they're fully developed or not," the group boasted in its public—and uncoded—bylaws…..
Centered in the town of Wolfenbüttel, Germany, the Oculists, it was believed, played the role of gatekeepers to the burgeoning field of ophthalmology. They kept out the "charlatans" who could cause someone to "lose their eyesight forever."
On their crest, the Oculists featured a cataract needle and three cats (which, of course, can see in near darkness). In their bylaws, the Oculists' emphasis on the master's "light hand" seemed to be a reference to members' surgical skill. And they appeared to have a rather progressive attitude; women could be Oculists, just like men…
Starting on page 27 and continuing for the remaining 78 pages, the cipher detailed the rituals performed by the highest degrees of the Masonic order—rites unknown to ordinary Masons at the time. Nothing was omitted from the Copiale's descriptions of these top-level rituals. Not the skulls. Not the coffins. Not removal of undergarments nor the nooses nor the veneration of Hiram Abiff, builder of the Great Temple of Jerusalem, whose decomposed body became the alchemical emblem for turning something rotten into something miraculous and golden.
Decades later, most of these practices became widely known as the Freemasons' secrets seeped out. But in the 1740s they were still well concealed—except to the Oculists. The Oculists were a secret society that had burrowed deep into another secret society. Önnerfors noted that the cats on the Oculists' insignia were watching over mice. It could be another Oculist joke — or a sign that they were spies.'
Interesting isn't it?

It has emerged recently that tens of new laws were sent to the Prince Of Wales for approval and his opinion before being taken further. A freedom of information request showed that over the past 11 years, the Prince was consulted on 33 different pieces of legislation, whereas it was thought before the number was far lower.
The Prince Of Wales, as Duke Of Cornwall holds certain powers and rights relating to his position as Duke Of Cornwall for the Government to seek his permission and consultation relating to matters of law that affect his Duchy Of Cornwall.
The legislation that the Prince was given a say over included the hunting ban legislation and the Government's green initiative.
Rulebooks in the House Of Commons state that consultation must be made between the House and the Queen and Prince Charles concerning "the hereditary revenues, personal property or interests of the Crown, the Duchy of Lancaster or Duchy of Cornwall".
The Prince was most recently asked for his consent for the energy bill in September 2011, which passed into law the Government's green deal which encourages homeowners to take out a loan to make their house more energy-efficient.
He has even had his permission sought for the more obscure pieces of legislation that some question why the Prince was consulted over, for example the Finance Bill in 2004, which enacted Gordon Brown's budget as Chancellor for that year.
Last September, Sir Stephen Lamport, his former private secretary, suggeseted people might question the Prince's "political neutrality" when he becomes King if his private letters to ministers are made public.

Morwell Unlimited Meet King Tubby's
Read a review
Download Cover Notes pdf
Buy Dub Me £4.25
Lightning & Thunder Sample!
What the press say:
The latest Blood And Fire reissue continues the policy of restoring crucial King Tubby material to circulation. This time it's the turn of a long-unavailable dub of the vocal album Presenting The Morwells, released in 1975 and featuring a trio of Blacka Morwell, Louis Davis and Eric 'Bingy Bunny' Lamont. The music on Dub Me is pioneering dub: there are some of the first uses of dramatic non musical sound effects like thunder claps and jet take-offs, and a treatment of percussion which is all but overwhelming. The pace is slow and heavy but the music is radically discorncerting even now. On "Bald Head" the echoes build up on the percussion until there's an extraordinary rolling, clicking sound running around behind the music. Eric 'Fish' Clarke is on the drum stool, and with the assistance of Sticky and Shorty The President, turns in some wickedly funky performances. Again and again the action is focused on the top-end - the treble backdrop on" Morwell's Theme" is superb. There are a couple of R&B moments, "John Bull" and "Morpheus Special", which tackles "Louie Louie". Perhaps best of all are the vestigial vocals, which intensify the drama of the mix. The moment, for example, where the vocal on "Concord " gives way to aircraft sound only for shoo-wapping backing vocals to reassert themselves is deeply affecting. Likewise, on "Swing And Dub", another cymbal spectacular, the switch early in the song from unaccompanied vocal to unaccompanied percussion is one of those space-stretching moments which make dub still so powerful. Not so much flooring the listener as removing the floor altogether. All the tracks were recorded at Channel One, bar a single Black Ark piece. Will Montgomery, The Wire (UK) June 97

Premier Welder To The Rescue
I enjoyed your "Welding on the Run" article in the May '10 issue. A Premier welder has saved our day on many trails over the years. I finished reading your article just prior to the Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari. Then, while on the TDS run, I came upon Rick Péwé performing a trail fix using the new Premier welder. I guess this was a real example of welding "on the run." I'm sure the new welder met your expectations and got the broken rig moving again. Thanks from all the wheelers you've helped over the years. You've got a great mag, and I look forward to every issue.
Tom Armstrong
Chino, CA
Thanks, Tom. It's always fun to help out other wheelers, sort of like paying it forward. If something doesn't break on a trail ride, the trail must not be too tough. And if I don't get a chance to fix something, the day (or night) just isn't complete.
LightWeight Wheeler Build?
Extreme rock, mud, and even show builds are all great. But haven't we all noticed how moderate flatfenders and Samurais are all-around trail monsters? A build concentrating on products and ideas to strip down and lighten a rig would be very interesting. The idea is to get some of the benefits tube-frame trail buggies enjoy, but for commuter wheelers starting with a stocker. From mirror relocators (stage 1?) for stripping down to carbon fiber front clips and aluminum heads (stage 3?) for lightening up. Your industry resources could save readers a lot of legwork.
Bill Phillips

P.S. A popular joke in the defense industry starts with the military being interested in a mouse for its small, light, go-anywhere design. When all the improvements have been made and it meets mil-spec, the design is rolled out and ... it's an elephant.
Great idea, Bill! We are currently building a project CJ-7 (page 78) that incorporates that idea. It, too, will end up heavier than planned, but along the way we intend to improve the power-to-weight ratio, usually by adding more power!
Canadian Version
I just received my August issue and cracked it to Readers' Rides. On page 18, "Mud Prince," it notes that it is a '77 Ford F-205. Since it is a Canadian truck, this must be the metric version, eh?
Grant Christiansen
via www.4wheeloffroad.com
Haha, we get it. We apologize for the typo. But for more on that problem, read on.
What The Heck?
The picture on page 37 (of Rick Péwé) in the June '10 issue gave me a good laugh. I just went through a mandatory office ergonomics evaluation, and I can tell you there are about 10 things wrong with the way you're working. I'll name just a few.
First, that "Jeep Commander" office chair is a joke. That looks like it might work for a boardroom meeting, but for hours of computer work, forget it. There's no way anyone with sense would have designed that for a workstation. That would not be allowed at my work.
Second, you're leaning forward while typing, which is a really bad habit. Are you having trouble seeing the screen? You might want to get your prescription checked on your glasses because you shouldn't have to get that close to the screen. Also, your screen should be a bit higher. You're looking down. You should be able to look roughly straight ahead at it.
You should move your keyboard back, away from yourself, because your arms are in an unnatural position. Then move some of those office supplies like the stapler and the tape dispenser out of the way so you have enough room for the mouse to move. Looks like it's where your elbow is, but really it should be a little farther back too.
Finally-and granted, this a computing tip-try and organize your folders so everything is not stored on the Desktop.
I love Petersen's and just want you guys to continue to produce a good mag while working smart. I work a few blocks down the street from your new address (on Douglas Street in El Segundo). If you need me to come over and give you some tips I would be happy to.
BTW, looking at the new Source Interlink building, I can't possibly imagine that your workshop moved there too. Just the offices, correct?
Ed Laag
via 4wheeloffroad.com
Where would I start? First off, thanks for trying to help. We always appreciate that. However, the photo looks like I'm in an unnatural position because I am. The photo is intended to show the "Jeep Commander" office chair, but if I sat normally you couldn't see it. So I leaned forward, got too close to the screen, scrunched my arms up, and made it look like a bad office scene, all for the photo. As a matter of fact I usually lie far back, see the screen fine, relax in the way-comfortable chair, and only move my hand slightly to use the very fast and sensitive mouse.
Oh, and every file and folder you see on the screen is what I go through every day- you should see all the subfolders behind them!
As far as a shop goes, well, we never had one at the old building, and we have a photo studio in the new one. We work on vehicles out of our garages, backyards, and other people's shops-there's no way we would fall into the trap of a company-owned and -dictated shop for us to work in.
Way Cool Ride
Reading the Aug. '10 issue (or maybe just looking at the pictures), I have a question. On page 91, in the Chile article, what is the yellow, short-box, cut-down-XJ-looking rig in the top picture? Looks like fun!
Todd Weingartner
via www.4wheeloffroad.com
That is a real Nissan Patrol, with solid axles and a Chevy V-8. Except for the engine it's mainly stock, and no, you can't buy it here. If we could we would have one in an instant, but like most manufacturers, Nissan feels there isn't a market for the ride of the solid front axle, as the American buying public is too soft. Yes, that sucks.
Our Final Goof
I've been a reader for many years. My first issue had a story about Bob Chandler getting mad because someone let Fred Schafer park Barefoot with its 72-inch tires next to Bigfoot at the Jamboree Nationals. That's how long I've been reading. For the most part I love the mag. I will say, I'd rather see more trucks, Jeeps, or whatever is street-legal than a bunch of trailer queen buggies.
The reason I'm writing is because of "Tire Chart Woes" (In Box, Aug. '10). You state that CUCVs had eight-lug wheels. If your referring to the M1008 (Blazer), they did not have eight-lugs. They have the same 10-bolt axles as the K5 Blazer that was sold at your local GM dealer. The CUCV M1009 (K30 PK) had eight-lug Dana 60/14-bolt axles. There were a couple of variations of the M1009. Most had NP208 transfer cases. Some had NP205 boxes; these were only in units that required a PTO option. There was also a DRW version that had a Dana 70 or 80 out back.
All CUCVs had 6.2L with Turbo 350s behind them. They had a secondary 24V electrical system (the GM part of the truck was 12V) to run our radios. But for the most part these were Chevy K5 or K30 Custom Deluxe with crappy paint jobs and extra blackout lights.
I have two M1009s in my fleet. They make great snowplow trucks. I retire from the Army this fall, and hope that I don't have to give them up before I go. Other than the mention of the M1008 having eight-lug wheels a couple of times, I think you have a great mag, and I will probably be reading for several more years.

Reader Rant
How Bad Is It?
This letter has nothing to do with wheeling. I've been a subscriber for several years. I really like the attitude and style of the magazine, and don't really care how many Jeeps or non-Jeeps you feature-it's all fun to read.
I would, however, like to request that somebody do some better proofreading before you run the stories. Here's what appeared in just one feature in the June '10 issue:
P. 35: "The handle locks similarly to that of an air chuck." What about a simple "locks like an air chuck"? P. 35: "with fewer hurtles and turbulence" (hurdles). P.38: "an antisheer bracket" (antishear). P.39: "bucketheads steeling stuff." Yikes! P.40; "lightweight vice." You mean like an O'Doul's? p.42: "take a peak under your Jeep." Better have one helluva lift!
The only one missing was fender flairs.
Believe me, it's not like I go looking for mistakes to carp about. These things jump out at me and instantly lower the credibility of anything I'm reading, which is a shame because the content is great. While I'm aware that most of the rest of the world doesn't give a crap about this stuff anymore, this time it was way too much for me to just grit my teeth and let it slide.
As I said, I love the magazine; there's no way I'd quit buying it just because it's not perfect, so I hope you'll take this as constructive criticism. After all, if I was walking around with a toilet paper banner trailing off my shoe, I'd sure want somebody to tell me about it! David Holmes Santa Monica, CA
It amazes us as well, considering each staffer reads the copy twice, I read it four times, and our managing editor reads it two or three times. We do care, and we agree with you, but as a cost-cutting measure, all of the company's 54 copy editors were laid off last year, and now it's up to us to catch our own mistakes. While that's good in a way, it's far easier to catch someone else's mistakes, especially when we rely way too much on spell-check. That system simply spells the word correctly, but as you have shown, it may be the wrong word. So thanks for catching that toilet paper on the shoe, and if you want, come on down to our offices and we'll stick you in a cube for no pay and long hours so you can give us a hand making sure we are on the mark. Thanks again!

A Spartanburg woman admitted she led officers on a chase that topped speeds of 100 miles per hour and ended in a crash that killed her daughter.
A Spartanburg woman admitted she led officers on a chase that topped speeds of 100 miles per hour and ended in a crash that killed her daughter.
Queniya Tykia Shelton, 7, was thrown from the vehicle her mother, Errika Dominique Shelton, was driving after it hit the guardrail in the northbound lane near the 81-mile marker on Interstate 85. Queniya was pronounced dead at 7:21 p.m. Aug. 7 at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.
Shelton, 27, of 142 Lincoln Drive, pleaded guilty Tuesday to failure to stop for a blue light with a death involved, habitual traffic offender with a death, reckless homicide, child neglect, driving under suspension third or subsequent offense and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
Circuit Court Judge Lawton McIntosh sentenced Shelton to 13 years, followed by five years probation. Shelton could serve up to 20 more years if she violates probation.
She faced a maximum of 70 years and six months.
Shelton appeared in court wearing an orange jail jumpsuit. Her attorney, Frank Eppes, rolled Shelton's wheelchair toward the judge's bench after the hearing began. Shelton suffered injuries as a result of the accident. Along with physical damage, a psychiatrist said in court that Shelton has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, feels guilty and has "significant anxiety." She takes an antidepressant, along with other medications.
The psychiatrist said that Shelton was Tazed in a 2009 encounter with police and thinks that Shelton was acting out of fear when she tried to flee officers who initiated a traffic stop.
Seventh Circuit Solicitor Barry Barnette said in court that Spartanburg County Sheriff's deputies were patrolling Interstate 85 about 9:30 a.m. Aug. 6 when they saw Shelton make an improper lane change. The deputies activated their blue lights, but Shelton, who was behind the wheel of a 2012 Dodge Journey, did not stop.
A dash cam video showed Shelton weaving in and out of traffic, almost losing control of the vehicle, taking an exit, zipping past stopped vehicles and through a red light, before making her way back onto the interstate.
Deputies found a child safety seat inside the vehicle after the crash and realized a child had been in the vehicle, Barnette said. Almost seven ounces of marijuana was recovered, he said.
An S.C. Highway Patrol investigation found that Shelton was driving about 90 mph when the SUV hit the guardrail, Barnette said. Queniya died as a result of injuries she suffered in the crash.
Shelton's criminal record includes convictions for failing to stop for a blue light, unlawful carrying of a weapon, assaulting a police officer while resisting arrest, habitual traffic offender and drug charges, according to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.
Shelton's driver's license was suspended 18 times from May 2005 through February 2012 for various violations. She was classified a habitual offender.
An officer said in court that Shelton talked to investigators about unsolved homicides, but those cases remain open.
Shelton's attorney said in court that talking to law enforcement shows that she's taken steps to "straighten out."
"It's a horrific crime … The people who suffered the worst were Errika and her family," Eppes said.
Eppes said Shelton was one of those individuals who are the "complete architect of their own destruction." He said she killed her child, destroyed her body and damaged her mind. The same psychiatrist who evaluated Shelton also said it appears that Shelton suffered minor brain damage.
More than 30 people appeared in court to show support for Shelton. Among them was Shelton's mother, Trena Rice, who said she loved her daughter and granddaughter. Rice said she had cared for Queniya since the child was 2 weeks old.
"There's a lot of broken hearts," Rice said.
She also said the past could not be changed.
Shelton read from a letter she wrote, saying that no matter how many tears she cries, she cannot bring back the daughter who was "lavished" with "love and attention" during her life.
Barnette said Shelton also will appear in court in Greenville County because of "probation matters." She could face an additional 10 years, he said.
"Errika Shelton selfishly placed her own needs in front of those of her innocent daughter," Barnette said in a statement.

Shut your cockmouth and wear a bra
An extraordinary amount of patience is required to be friends with Jessica Simpson. I am not a patient person. But I am a good friend. And she needs me, so I'm working on it.
Porny is frustrating though because progress is always mixed with f-ckery. Before celebrating improvement, you must wait for the other shoe to drop. Is that the correct use of the expression?
The other shoe, unfortunately, almost always means Jessica opens her wide ass cockmouth and either sucks on something nasty and douchey or says something nasty and douchey while a camera is rolling.
F-cking dumbass.
Last week Jess made headlines when asked by the paps whether or not it was true that she gave Tony Romo a $100K boat only to ask for it back when he dumped her. Instead of remaining silent or saying something witty and charming, she replied that she's no "Indian giver". The clip is here.
Needless to say, she was criticised for it.
Saturday night she went out for dinner with her sister and her 'mo. Clearly not chastened by the previous incident, Jessica once again spoke through her cockmouth and declared that she's an Indian. Click here to see.
Joe Simpson sure raised an ignorant bimbo. A bimbo who cannot resist a long stick. Dick, lolly, mic, if it's shaped like a penis, her cockmouth cannot help itself.
This is why she needs Friend Bootcamp. We have so much work to do.
And bra lessons too.
You know she has enormous tits. We've all been invited – thanks to her father – to look at her enormous tits. And she knows there are photogs outside Katsuya all the time. She escaped this time without a slip incident…but it was close. Very, very close.

Cerita bahasa Inggris Kalimantan - Indonesia memang negara kepulauan yang sangat luas dan mempunyai banyak ragam budaya dan adat diantaranya memiliki budaya yakni Cerita Bahasa Inggris seperti Cerita Sangkuriang Bahasa Inggris ini cerita Sangkuriang pun tidak mau kalah, Okelah langsung saja untuk membaca Ceritanya dibawah ini.
The Origin of Landak River
Long time ago, lived a farmer and his wife in a village by the side of a forest. They lived simply and they like to help other people, especially one who in afflictions. One night, the farmer and his wife were resting in their house. The farmer was sitting beside his sleeping wife. Suddenly, a white centipede came out from the wife's head. The farmer was amazed. He then followed the centipede until they reach a small pond not far from their house. Then the centipede suddenly disappeared. The farmer went home and found his wife still soundly asleep.
In the morning, the wife told his husband about the dream she had last night. "I was walking through a vast field, and I came to a lake. I saw a giant hedgehog in the lake. It was glaring at me, so I ran away." After he heard his wife's dream, the farmer went back to the small pond. In the pond, he saw something very shiny. He came to the shiny object and took it. It was a golden hedgehog statue. It was very beautiful. Its eyes were made of diamond. The farmer then brought the statue home.
At night, the farmer had a dream. A giant hedgehog came to him, "Please let me stay in your home. As return, I will give you everything you want. Just caress the statue's head and say the prayer. There are two kinds of prayers, one is to start your wish and the second is to stop your wish. Now memorize the prayers."
In the next day, the farmer told his wife about his dream. They really wanted to prove it. The farmer slowly caressed the statue's head. He said the prayer and asked for rice. Suddenly, rice came out of the mouth of the statue. The rice kept on coming out from the statue's mouth. The farmer immediately said the prayer to stop it. The rice then stopped coming out from the statue.
The farmer and his wife then asked for other things, jewelry and other stuff they needed. They became very rich. But they still like to help other people. A lot of poor came to them for help. Unfortunately, a thief found out about the secret of the golden hedgehog statue. Pretending to be a poor asking for help, he stole the statue from the farmer's house.
The thief blurred to the district area of Ngabang. There was a drought in the area. The thief wanted sympathy from the people, so he said to them that he would provide them with water. The thief then caressed the hedgehog statue and said the prayer. Water came out of the statue's mouth. All the people were so happy. But the water kept on coming out. The thief didn't know the prayer to stop the wish. People who saw the incident were really scared. They ran away to avoid the water as it was started to flood the area. The thief also wanted to run away, but he cannot move his legs. In his vision, there was a giant hedgehog holding both his legs. Water kept coming from the statue and slowly it became a river. The thief was drowned in the river. People then named the river as Hedgehog River or Sungai Landak.***

This weekend, "The Othello Project" takes on domestic violence
You have two days yet to catch "The Othello Project," a multimedia performance piece by Visionbox that weaves Shakespeare's tale of the duped, jealous Moor and his devoted wife and victim, Desdemona, with scenes from modern relationships gone terribly afoul as well as commentary on sexual politics by Simone de Beauvoir.
It's onstage at the L2 Arts and Culture Center, 1477 Columbine St. on Colfax through Saturday night, June 9. (Tickets, $5-$20)

While we all watched Khloe Kardashian deal with her fertility issues over the past few years, our hearts collectively broke for her. Khloe made no bones about desperately wanting a baby with Lamar, but it never seemed to work out. But now that everything's come to a head with her husband (cheating and drug allegations that run rampant -- oh, and a DUI to boot!), Khloe's "thankful" she never got pregnant. And while I'm fairly confident she'd never regret a child if she did have one, I can't help but nod my head in agreement with her.
Khloe apparently told a friend, "I don't regret marrying Lamar but I'm glad I didn't get pregnant." She feels that it would be unfair to bring a child into such a toxic and chaotic environment. Khloe also added, "If I were to be pregnant this past year, while Lamar was melting down and sleeping with other women, the stress could have hurt the baby. I feel so glad now that we didn't conceive."
Wow. Talk about maturity. And talk about someone who's going to make an amazing mother someday. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a baby between Khloe and Lamar wouldn't have been an ideal situation, but it takes serious insight for a woman who's had trouble conceiving for so long to say something like that.
I'd love to see Khloe and Lamar get back together after he gets the help he needs, and for them to eventually have a child together. But I kind of doubt that's going to happen. So, hopefully Khloe will meet someone else someday and have a baby -- in a perfectly safe and serene environment.
Do you think it's good that Khloe and Lamar didn't have a baby together?

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a vocal opponent of President Obama's healthcare reform law, surprised her state this week by announcing that she would embrace a key component of the law.
Now she faces having to sell the idea to a Republican-controlled Arizona Senate and House, which will probably give some sort of pushback. Her spokesman, however, predicted that lawmakers would agree to expand Medicaid coverage because of the federal funds provided for the effort.
"Gov. Brewer believes that when lawmakers take a step back and take a look at these numbers they're going to come to the same conclusion … to get this passed," spokesman Matthew Benson said Tuesday.
A skeptic of Obama's Affordable Care Act, Brewer announced her decision in her State of the State address Monday. If she didn't accept the Medicaid money for Arizona, she said, other states would claim those federal funds.
