Copyright (c) Galapagos Design Group, Inc, 1997-2002. All rights reserved.Description
In designing an advertising poster to show off the unconventional Safefont GD typeface, Steve drew what appeared as relatively traditional letterforms for the expository text. When these characters were as well received as the typeface which was the subject of the poster, Steve decided to expand them into a full-fledged graffiti style typeface of their own. While exploring where this new design might lead, Steve worked to elaborate the poster segment which had inspired it. He soon found himself staring at a drawing of a weapons-wielding Bonnie and Clyde. The desperate duo resonated with the graphic elements of the drawn letters-thus leading to the effortless fleshing out of the design, and to its name, Big Clyde.

text:
This month is only 30 days long, and I even added the first day of September to my August Twitter post. But still, there were a lot of tweets about you-know-what and -who.
Most recently, there was the first presidential debate, both during and after (and a little bit of the worrying before, listed here in reverse chronological order):
What type of president do Americans want? An unstable insomniac, probably.Not to mention the election generally:
Josh Barro
Trump thinks doing a sex tape makes you disgusting but being a proven sexual harasser like Roger Ailes makes you a friend and top advisor.
Frank Conniff
"Go watch that fat pig's sex tape" – the nominee overwhelmingly supported by Evangelical Christians.
joe mande
At some moment, while we were all still asleep, female weight gain became a plank in the GOP platform.
Jennifer Senior @JenSeniorNY
Oh for fucks sake I really need people to stop:
1. fat-shaming the people who are fat-shaming, and
2. saying "but she isn't even fat!"
It's not outrageous that Trump said that shit about Miss Universe because "she wasn't even fat." THAT IS MISSING THE POINT. Like, "oh, it's okay if he says that shit about someone who is ACTUALLY FAT, this is just offensive!" No. Stop it.
Sarah Mackey @sarahjanet
Funny how Trump touts cyber polls where people can vote 15 times, but supports voter suppression laws...
Tony Jordan @twjpdx23
If you're a working person, YOU KNOW THIS GUY. You know a version of this rich cheap prick. And you're going to let him run the country?
Andy Richter
I didn't pay taxes because you would have squandered it:
David Waldman @KagroX
When asked why he doesn't help pay for our military, or taking care of vets, or paying for police, Trump said: "That makes me smart."
Michael McFaul
How does Donald Trump expect the government to do so much when he thinks that smart people don't pay taxes?
Rainbow Rowell
unable to face a level playing field, apoplectic in the face of facts, full of hurt feelings — Trump is everything he claims the PC crowd is
Saladin Ahmed
Trump denying black folks housing based on race then criticizing the state of the neighborhoods black folks live in is America in a nutshell
Most of us don't realize the extent to which very wealthy people avoid taxes, people whose income comes from financial transactions, not labor. Maybe people think, "Yeah, that's what I'd do if I were rich, keep it all for myself. Fuck taxes." But taxes pay for everything good and necessary! It's working people, paying taxes who make this country great. Not wealthy people who only look out for themselves.
Rainbow Rowell
Complete silence from either candidate about Native people, Native issues, Indian law, Indian summer, Jeep Cherokee #NoDAPL
Debating while female, in one graphic:
Sarah Kliff
We all have to admit Donald Trump is the Whitest White man to ever White. Dude showed up to a Presidential debate. Wingin' it and confident.
Elon James White
Takeaway from tonight: Reality TV editing can make anyone look good.
Hemant Mehta
Donald Trump may destroy the American experiment in democracy, and god help us all, but history will remember him as a pathetic evil shit.
Tom Tomorrow
whenever trump says "that's not very nice" he sounds exactly like a tv serial killer about to claim a victim
Saladin Ahmed
Take a moment to consider how much money you'd be able to amass if you just didn't pay your bills and then got people to forgive you for it.
Arielle Brousse @thewordunheard
The Trump Look:
Ann Telnaes
Trump runs out of gas pretty quickly when he doesn't have a howling racist mob egging him on.
Chris Dashiell
If Trump wants to make America great again, he should make sure he pays his workers and pays his fair share of taxes.
Steven Greenhouse
Guy who is proud of not paying taxes is mad NATO members aren't paying their fair share.
I literally think Trump has never had to listen to a woman for this long in his life.
Paul Musgrave @profmusgrave
Trump doesn't have any political experience but he has lots of experience berating women so this debate could be close.
The moderators are begging off of fact-checking Trump at the debate, putting the onus on Hillary. This is setting Hillary up for failure. Trump presents a blizzard of lies. If Hillary fact checks all, she'll have time for nothing else.
Judd Legum
White working-class economic frustration is never not about race. To fall economically is to be drawn closer to black people and blackness.There were enough tweets specifically about Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" specifically to warrant their own section:
Brent Staples @BrentNYT
The worse Trump gets, the clearer it is that the attraction of him for many is not love of Trump so much as hate for those who hate him. I think Trump's opponents haven't internalized this deeply enough.
Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
The worldweary position that criticisms of Trump are worthless unless they change his staunchest supporters' minds is facile and unhelpful. Nothing is going to change their minds. Set them aside. Anything that gets out the vote against him is worthy.
Erin Kissane
I hope Gary Johnson and Jill Stein eventually find the Christopher Guest movie they belong in.
Una LaMarche @sassycurmudgeon
Voting third party is the electoral equivalent of "thoughts and prayers."
DonaldTrump's pick for EPA transition chief likes global warming because 'people die in blizzards.'
Bill McKibben
Trump is such a weird combination of bully and crybaby.
Robert Wright
A challenge for the left: to pay heed to kernels of genuine anti-globalism and anti-neoliberalism on the vast, often-racist cob of Trumpist anger.
Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Can't decide between the racist promising WW3 and the person who used home email at work? Maybe voting is too hard for you.
Let us remember that if Donald Trump had not been born into massive wealth and power, he would essentially be unemployable.
Jason Pinter
The repudiation of alt-right racism by keeping deranged lunatic bigot Donald Trump out of office is America's greatest test since Jim Crow.
Bill Madden @activist360
Trump hasn't created a "resurgence of racism," he's just given white folks the permission to be unapologetic about it.
Broderick Greer
Don't vote to "send a message." It won't be heard. Cast a vote for the candidate who will best advance equality, justice and climate change.
George Takei
Does anyone have any doubt that Trump would view the Presidency primarily as a way to enrich himself?
Christopher Hayes
How weak do you have to be to think Donald Trump is strong?
Hemant Mehta
"I am sorry. I was wrong. I will learn more and do better." Such powerful words and yet, so rarely used.
Jess @JessLif
Political correctness imposes the greatest constraints on odious people, so those who complain loudest have the weakest case against it
Josh Barro
I hate this election with a burning passion that is also full of dread and exhaustion.
Tom Tomorrow
Maybe Trump is afraid to say he believes Obama was born in the U.S. because the next question will be "what changed your mind?" There is no way for Trump to say he's no longer a birther without implicitly admitting to being a moron. There is really no good answer to "what changed your mind?" The long form birth certificate? Which he continued to question for years?
Josh Barro
Trump calls those who turn other cheek "fools." He is for revenge, says making others miserable makes him happy.
David Cay Johnston
Art inside the Trump/Pence headquarters at Trump Tower in NYC:
Ines de La Cuetara @InesdLC
Trump promising to end regulations of "food production hygiene" and "inspection overkill" doesn't seem politically (or substantively) wise. He risks illustrating something important: "regulation" in the abstract is expensive and annoying, but specific regulations serve purposes.
Josh Barro
Gary Johnson's wild popularity with under-30s should reduce one's confidence that the Bernie people were ideologically committed socialists.
Matthew Yglesias
Donald Trump: "So many of my friends who are black say, 'You are the least racist person.'"
Yamiche Alcindor (New York Times reporter)
To which Alex Burns, also from the New York Times, responded:
Trying hard to imagine the circumstances where a black person would say this to a white person they're friends with.
Trump has privately held companies. He can set policy. None of Trump's companies offer paid maternity leave as he now proposes. #AreYouKidding
stuart stevens
Mike Pence, who said discrimination against LGBT people ought to be legal, just condemned Clinton for treating people with "contempt."
Hemant Mehta
My theory is that Trump envies and admires Putin's success as a kleptocrat.
Tom Tomorrow
Washington Post: How will history judge America if it elects a madman because his opponent used work email at home?
Nicholas Thompson @nxthompson
If in 2008, Senator Barack Obama had praised Putin as a better President than the American, Republicans would have demanded he quit race.
stuart stevens
Just a reminder: In 2003 the Dixie Chicks were boycotted and crucified for saying they were ashamed of President Bush.
Maggie Jordan @MaggieJordanACN
"Lord, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man." – Sarah Hagi
I don't know who democrats are appealing to when they lift Reagan up as an example of a great presidency but it surely ain't me.
Bree Newsome
Gary Johnson is guileless. In a way, it's refreshing. But I think we want a president with at least a little guile.
Josh Barro
Fine, it's better to be honest when ignorant than lie, but it's even better to not run for president if you don't know what Aleppo is.
Kelsey D. Atherton
NBC News Commander in Chief Forum. How Trump answers in 3 steps:
1. repeat the problem,
2. criticize someone,
3. state no plan.
Lauren Victoria @LVBurke
One of the things that's really striking about Trump is the utter lack of acknowledgement of trade-offs or that any decisions are hard.
Christopher Hayes
What Bill Clinton did post-presidency isn't illegal, it's very DC-business-as-usual. But that business-as-usual is what voters hate.
amy walter
This is the year the media taught us that racism, sexism, and homophobia aren't as bad as charitable foundations and private email servers.
Frank Conniff
Third parties exist to flatter people. We should stop pretending it's a replacement for the boring work and hard compromise of actual elections.
Clay Shirky
Sure, Trump is authoritarian racist, but the Clintons have a foundation that provides health care to AIDS patients, so they're the same.
Ian Millhiser
Christians shaming Clinton for her husband's actions are the same people who say divorce is bad. Pick a lane. You can't say divorce is bad and that Trump is the candidate of morals without looking like a fool.
lyz lenz
"Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump." [Said by] his African American outreach director. Americans don't bow to presidents.
David Cay Johnston
To him,"sexually undesirable" is the worst thing a woman can be. Every woman he wars with is "ugly" or "fat" or "look at that face." Whereas the way he compliments *his own daughter* is to say she's hot and he'd date her.
Don't tell me "gender isn't a factor" when Hillary Clinton is more despised for being cheated on than Trump is despised for cheating.
Rachel Held Evans
Trump has no real talent in making money. His talent is all in borrowing and spending it.
Josh Greenman
Trump gambled that GOP politicians would value their own ambition over his heresies, insults, and outrages. He won the gamble.
Yoni Appelbaum
Does it really not matter that the Republican candidate is relying on advice from man accused of harassing female employees over decades?
Rebecca Traister
Reading polls about Clinton is revealing; she wins on all substantive measures, but people have "doubts." This is how job discrimination works
Darren Hutchinson @dissentingj
So I don't know about you guys, but I genuinely resent all the time I've had to spend thinking about Mr. Trump. I'm thinking we've got a class action lawsuit here, for intentional emotional distress on a mass scale. Who's with me?
Tom Tomorrow
Trump's strategy to lie faster than the media can fact check was pioneered by Joseph McCarthy. And it hasn't stopped working.
jelani cobb
I think people are over-thinking why Trump is competitive. He's the GOP nominee and he's winning about 90% of Republicans. That makes you competitive! If you win a major party's nomination you've got a good shot to be president!
Christopher Hayes
It's also difficult to see folk who've scarcely conceded racism's deformative power now rush to discuss the additional "nuances" of Trumpism.
jelani cobb
Trump's only policies:
1. Build a wall and deport all Latinos
2. Ban all Muslims
3. Stop and frisk every Black person in public.
Marcus Hassan @smoothkobra
Jamelle Bouie replied:
It's almost as if Trump's core message is that nonwhites are inherently suspect and dangerous.
One big problem with Russ Douthat's column is it conflates two separate discourses about political correctness (Trump's and academic). If you listen to Trump's speeches (which you should do!), when he says PC he doesn't mean trigger warnings of liberal cable news shows. By political correctness Trump means the end of Christian cultural hegemony (Happy Holidays!) and respect for human rights (no waterboarding).
Jeet Heer
Is there any meaning left to one person, one vote when a billionaire donates $100 million in a campaign cycle?
Steven Greenhouse
As a kid, I used to wonder how people would ever allow Fascism to take over. Then, I grew up and started watching and learning.
Johnny Argent
I found Reagan's mythical Welfare Queen! It's Donald Trump:
Tim De Chant
Bree Newsome responded:
It happens exactly like it's happening right now. Economic anxiety + public hysteria + cultural scapegoating + weakened press
The Trump kids would last about 19 seconds in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
Scott Weinberg
Wait. What percent of <gun owners/Syrian refugees> pose a mortal threat to Americans? What percent makes it sensible to ban <guns/refugees>?
Joseph Nathan Cohen
I get so freaked out about this election sometimes, and then I remember how thoroughly black and brown women get shit done. (And then I scream into a bag, send money to support get out the vote, and get back to work.)
Erin Kissane
Most of what Trump says boils down to "I would act the role of President well. I'd make President sounds. You would think 'He's President.'"
Mark Harris
If you are investing writing and ink in trying to make racists that are "nice" not deplorable, you're missing the point about racism.I look forward to the day when I don't have to include a section on Black Lives Matter, racism, and the killings of unarmed black people (this month, the killings were in Charlotte and Tulsa... oh yes, and San Diego this week, too), but this is not the month. This section also covers the quiet protests of the Star Spangled Banner inspired by Colin Kaepernick:
ProfB @AntheaButler
There are obviously some deplorable views that society views as automatically disqualifying. That people don't think racism is one is telling.
Vann R. Newkirk II @fivefifths
It's pretty simple. If you aren't deplorable, she isn't talking about you. Are you mad for your deplorable friends or something?

White folks be like: It's people like you who keep the races divided. But that falsely presumes this country was ever united in the first place.

interesting how uncomfortable conservatives get when you start talking about racism in the United States. I mean, if you think racism is over and we should all just get along, why do you feel the need to silence those who disagree?
ProfB @AntheaButler
For racists, the definition of reverse racism is having to treat people of color fairly and with respect to the point where it feels uncomfortable.

You'll be surprised at how many companies/institutions/ politicians still benefit from the profits of slavery. Lloyds Bank, founded in 1688, insured many of the trading fleets in the transatlantic chattel slavery. I don't see Lloyds going bankrupt. If Swiss banks paid £680 million in settlements to the victims of the Nazis, why is Lloyd's not doing the same for the victims of chattel slavery?

Poisoning Native water is a basic humanity issue. Police killing black folk is a basic humanity issue. You don't treat humans like that.
The Charlotte protests aren't black people against whites. They're black, white and brown people against systemic violence.
Steven Greenhouse
America you are f*cking testing my patience. I'm sick of your fearful, incompetent racist policing and the excuses and bold-faced lies. You kill us with impunity and expect us to kiss your weak a$$ fear and bolster you up by pretending you're better than us. Insanity. Let me be clear. This nation will implode if police don't get a grip. How long can this go on without a reckoning? Look, the thing you fear most, white people, is black folks exacting judgment for your evils against us. Keep fueling the racism and hate... You may reap what you've sown. And don't come into my timeline with "not all white people" BS. I know that, I teach the civil rights movement. I want you all to understand this constant loop of Black Death is not going to make your streets safer. I want you to understand that we can't stand for a flag that has choked us, disrespected us and killed our dreams to honor yours. Most importantly I don't love your white nationalist Jesus. Your patriotism and false Christianity hides the hate you have for my people. Your fear and weakness are killing generations of Black people. Get a damn grip.
ProfB @AntheaButler
If they don't want to speak out against police violence? Vote 'em out. Not an election year? Keep score. Don't forget.
Racists view anti-racism as anti-white people... because they're racist. That's why they call whites who do anti-racism work "race traitors"

I don't subscribe to the "bad apples" theory, but the difference is telling. Teacher unions are targeted, police unions are protected.
Brian Jones @brainyandbrawny
Again, slavery never ended. Codified in 13th Amendment, it has evolved into the prison industrial complex. Police brutality is one part of it. What we have today isn't chattel slavery, of course, but it's actually a more evolved, efficient system of political and economic control.
Bree Newsome
Police are employees, can be demoted, fired, etc. If their employers wanted them to stop killing black people, they could make them stop.
Brian Jones @brainyandbrawny
being black and living in a constant state of grief and anger is confusing and hard. it's difficult not to just numb yourself to it all

White people, your fear of black people is going to destroy us all. Think about it. Change. #TerranceCrutcher [killed in Tulsa]

Every time one of these police killings happen without consequence, it is not simply giving sanction, it is *encouraging* officers to repeat.

Gonna hear a lot about crime stats today. Specifically, murder, rape, and aggravated assaults are all up since 2014. Here's the thing... Every one of them is lower than 2008. And most of the rise is attributable to 5 to 7 cities. Doesn't mean they don't matter, but the increase is not historic. Our relative level of safety, however, is. During the Presidential debate, remember: Violent crime is DOWN since Obama. The new 2015 stats deserve our attention—but not our fear.

Xerox Mourns Loss Of Gil Hatch
Tuesday, August 31, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyRochester, N.Y., Aug. 30, 2004 - Gilbert J. Hatch, president of Xerox Corporation's Production Systems Group and a leader in the graphic communications industry, passed away on Aug. 26 after a long, courageous battle with cancer. "Gil was a pillar of strength, a passionate voice of optimism, someone who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of Xerox and our customers," said Anne Mulcahy, Xerox chairman and CEO. "He was the epitome of all the good things about Xerox and we will all miss him terribly." During a 35-year career with Xerox, Hatch held a number of senior technical and general management positions in both the United States and the United Kingdom. In recent years, Hatch led both the Office Systems Group and the Production Systems Group. In his last position, he had worldwide responsibility for high-end monochrome and color systems for the production publishing and transaction printing markets, including the DocuTech, DocuPrint, DocuColor, and Nuvera product lines. He was instrumental in the advancement of breakthrough digital printing technologies and spearheaded the development of Xerox's FreeFlow Digital Workflow Collection. "Gil was not only a great Xerox leader, but also a great industry leader and friend," said Ursula Burns, president Xerox Operations Group. "He was a true customer champion, a technology innovator, and a strong advocate of industry standards and partnerships - leaving a legacy that will endure into the future of graphic communications." Hatch earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering in 1972 and a Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering in 1980, both from the Rochester (N.Y.) Institute of Technology. He was a member of the Rochester Institute of Technology board of trustees and of the Monroe Community College Foundation, as chair of its fund raising committee. He also was a member of the board of directors of CEDPA, a non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering women in global leadership. Hatch holds three patents in xerography and digital imaging. Hatch was born in Buffalo, N.Y. on December 6, 1949 and was first diagnosed with cancer in July of 2000. He is survived by his wife Bernice, their three children, and two grandchildren.

(not) wordless wednesday!
Today I am a little over 29 weeks preggo.
Happily, I measured RIGHT ON at my appointment this morning. YAY! I am hoping for another tiny baby girl... Henry was a whopper of a baby- but I consistently measured 2-3 weeks ahead from about 20 weeks on with him.
Here are some lovely photos of the growing belly...
I am definitely getting too big. I've thought this with both of my pregnancies... and yet, somehow, I keep getting bigger... and bigger.
I had my glucose test today... is it embarrassing to admit that I think the orange flavored stuff actually tastes semi- good?
On a whole different note, we're right smack dab in the middle of moving. It's quite the process, let me tell you. My poor mom is down in Florida, scouting out an OB for me- the thought of her going to OB's and asking questions cracks me up... ;) The big moving truck gets here next Monday... I'm ready to get the boxes out of the house and into the truck. My house is feeling more and more like a shell each day... sad :(
Henry is obviously oblivious to what is going on. He just runs around with his choo-choo's (trains) and climbs in and out of boxes.
Maeve, on the other hand, is very pleased. Although she doesn't understand dates or times, she does understand that we're packing and going back to Florida. She keeps saying it makes her "heart happy." :)
Oh- and remember that contest I entered WAY BACK WHEN??? I posted about it here! Anyways, the places and all that were finalllllly announced. I was told it would be in the paper over Memorial Day weekend, but it wasn't. Instead I found it on their site. The sad news is, I didn't place (no money... booo). The happy news is, they did select my photo(s)- (I'm still unsure of WHAT photo or photoS have been selected?) to be hung in their new building. So that's pretty cool I guess, right?
I think those are the updates I have for today...
Thanks for keeping up with our ever-changing, incredibly crazy clan! :)

you really don't look that big at allllll!
you look great girl!
- June 1, 2011 at 9:36 PM
- Jill said...
I am so happy for you and your family, but the thought of packing up my house and moving right now....would be overwhelming!! I guess knowing you are heading to FL with your Mom, would help keep the motivation up :) I am so happy for all of you.
Also, you are right the orange (glucose stuff) does taste pretty good. I did not have a problem getting it down :)
Happy packing.... good luck!!

I can't believe he had done this to himself, on 12th feb he had said on a thread on here "cold fusion" he was going to put some bits together to provide evidence of the theories he was working on and said it'll take a while, if someone is intent on doing something like this they do not make plans or say they are going to prepare something..... Or do they? Who knows?

The self storage industry is booming in the UK - over the past decade the business model crossed the Atlantic and has quickly developed in to a thriving industry sector with more than 700 units nationwide.
In the US, a staggering 57,000 self storage centres offer an average seven square metres of space per person. In the UK, it's a more reasonable 0.4 square metres and growing - with France and Germany hot on our heels.
The theory is the richer a nation, the more self storage space that is required.
Why exactly? Well, a lot of self storage is built around two factors - need and guilt.
As society becomes more mobile, with people moving around for work and having less permanent community roots, they need somewhere to keep their stuff. This especially applies to students and others taking the year off to travel. More and more youngsters live in rented homes and have nowhere to put their belongings and furntiure while they are away.
Then there's gran and grandad. As families are richer and have all the furniture and possessions they want or need, when elderly relatives die, just what do you do with all that stuff wreathed in sentiment and nostalgia that is too good to throw away and may just be worth something or come in useful one day?
Pile everything up in a self storage unit and push the guilt to the back of your mind of course.
The modern self storage industry may have started in the US - but the suspicion is the practise is a lot older.
What about the pharaohs of Egyptian times? The pyramids were the world's first self storage units as the incoming ruler stacked the previous king's prized possessions away out of sight and out of mind just like we do with gran and grandad's stuff.
Who says history doesn't keep repeating - and will archaeologists be digging up self storage centres in 5,000 years time and trying to make sense of the ritual packing up of our lives in the 21st century?

Day 43 saw the entire #bbnaija house in disarray, laying credence to the common saying that 'change is the only constant', even as the housemates proved this in every way.
In what seemed like a complete change, big brother made it known that the pairs have been dissolved and the #bbnaija Housemates get to stand alone and balance their own bridges.
They were all clearly hit hard by the almost completely random pairing. With each focused on their individual games and low key backdoor plotting; having to tone it down and share both the grace and the disgrace threw them off and put them in some sort of comfort zones from which they refused to exit in the past few weeks.
The weaker of the #bbnaija housates depended on their strong links and this whole dynamic was the reason for the internal wars the Housemates have been having. Now that they've been freed from the burden of being 'their brothers' keepers', the Nomination promises to be more strategic than empathetic.
While it is hard to tell whether the fast pace at which the Nominations took place is owed to the #bbnaija Housemates' release from the pair prison or to the fact that Biggie wanted to exhibit control, all the housemates seemed prepared for it as they nominated their adversaries except for Rico swavey.
Seeing as the process wasn't coordinated, the results came as a shocker and the #bbnaija Housemates were finally given the right of passage to reveal what they thought of each other through their nominations.
The results saw more than three thirds of the entire #bbnaija House closer to the chopping boarder. All but Head of House Nina and Rico Swavey are up for Eviction. This is how the nominations went down:
Anto nominated Teddy A + Alex, Rico Swavey went for Cee-C + Miracle, Cee-C chose Anto + Alex, while Lolu went for Rico Swavey + Bambam.
Bambam on her part chose Tobi + Anto, Tobi nominated Teddy A + Bambam and Alex chose Bambam + Cee-C. Teddy A went for Tobi + Miracle, Miracle chose Cee-C + Lolu and Nina completed things by choosing Bambam + Lolu. Big brother also made it known that there will be No Save and Replace for the week.
The #bbnaija Head of House privileges has also been sifted and awarded in very small portions. Instead of the normal Save and Replace, reigning queen Nina had to make do with just the Immunity. She owed this to the Chance Card she picked, 'Immunity from Nominations Only – No Save and Replace'.
The games have finally begun.

Successful Marriages in Dubai Or Relationships?
Lots of people in Dubai love to have relationships like BF or GF but they don't want to go for marriages. Why?
Some people think that they are not stable financially.
Some people are already having another relationships.
Some people have obvious reasons which I really don't think we would like to know.
The point is Marriages divides cheating and always helps, whether if we are talking about stability, financial situations or etc.
In this discussion, I am not targeting Men or Women. It is a generalize topic and would love to know your experience about it because this is the topic we should think about it.

BAGHDAD – Iraq's government has recorded 87,215 of its citizens killed since 2005 in violence ranging from catastrophic bombings to execution-style slayings, according to government statistics obtained by The Associated Press that break open one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war.
Combined with tallies based on hospital sources and media reports since the beginning of the war and an in-depth review of available evidence by The Associated Press, the figures show that more than 110,600 Iraqis have died in violence since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
The number is a minimum count of violent deaths. The official who provided the data to the AP, on condition of anonymity because of its sensitivity, estimated the actual number of deaths at 10 percent to 20 percent higher because of thousands who are still missing and civilians who were buried in the chaos of war without official records.
The Health Ministry has tallied death certificates since 2005, and late that year the United Nations began using them – along with hospital and morgue figures – to publicly release casualty counts. But by early 2007, when sectarian violence was putting political pressure on the U.S. and Iraqi governments, the Iraqi numbers disappeared. The United Nations "repeatedly asked for that cooperation" to resume but never received a response, U.N. associate spokesman Farhan Haq said Thursday.
The data obtained by the AP measure only violent deaths – people killed in attacks such as the shootings, bombings, mortar attacks and beheadings that have ravaged Iraq. It excluded indirect factors such as damage to infrastructure, health care and stress that caused thousands more to die.
Security has improved since the worst years, but almost every person in Iraq has been touched by the violence.
"We have lost everything," said Badriya Abbas Jabbar, 54. A 2007 truck bombing targeting a market near her Baghdad home killed three granddaughters, a son and a niece.


text: One important trend affecting photonics manufacturers is the restriction of hazardous materials. Without the restrictions, hazardous materials would adversely affect workers during manufacturing and would leak into the environment when equipment is disposed of or recycled. European governments have developed strict regulations in the form of RoHS, which stands for "restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment." Specifically, RoHS restricts the levels of six materials: lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). The last two are flame retardants.Compliant from day oneWhether or not companies are based in Europe, it behooves them to comply with international regulations so that they can do business around the world. Selling non-RoHS-compliant parts makes the end product non-RoHS-compliant. Breinigsville, Pa.-based Cyoptics, a company that makes optical components for broadband solutions, ensured from day one that its products were compliant, according to Sean Hannam, applications manager. And it's paid off because, as Hannam noted, "In most cases, RoHS compliance is essential, and our customers would not approve our products or put us on their approved vendor lists if we did not demonstrate it." The legislation adopted so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Many countries are working on RoHS-like directives, many of which will include a greater list of banned or restricted chemicals. According to Hannam, RoHS is the most widely recognized and universal hazardous materials safety standard the company has to meet, but there are others, as well as new ones coming down the pike. "RoHS compliance is certainly not the final destination, and we expect to be continuing to devote a certain amount of resource to environmental compliance going forward."A little help, pleaseVarious industry organizations are guiding manufacturers in tracking and reporting the material composition of products. San Jose, Calif.-based SEMI is an industry group that represents companies that supply equipment and materials to the semiconductor industry. According to Aaron Zude, senior director of SEMI's environmental health and safety division, with different countries asking for a range of materials lists in various formats, "The challenge is not so much that there is a regulation – everyone agrees that that's appropriate – the challenge is in the details of how each supplier provides information in an appropriate format to agencies in different countries." As with other industry groups, SEMI helps individual companies not only by providing an early warning mechanism regarding the regulations they must follow but also helping them make sense of the details. Through its international compliance and regulatory committee, the organization is working to develop a common materials format.Overall, the regulations are seen as good for the industry, Zude reports. He noted that being a responsible corporate citizen is important in today's environment. "For our membership, everyone is clear that, from a sustainability standpoint, compliance with regulations is extremely important."

I am on my way home.
But I've lost my way.
A long road lies ahead, thin and lonely.
I can't find the once familiar roads.
The yellow brick roads that lead to my anchor.
But I look hard for these long forgotten leads.
There is someone waiting for me home.
I will be home soon.
It won't be much longer.

Please send your questions for publication to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dear Prudence,
I read you often and now need advice. My son and his fiancee are getting married soon, and I have serious questions about the ceremony. My son is 28 and very successful. His fiancee is 26 and is a very intelligent, successful woman. They have been together many years, living together for the last three. The problem is not their relationship, but my son and his intended are both witches–that's right, witches–and they are having a "handfasting," a witchcraft wedding ceremony. My wife and I are devout Catholics, and it seems that going to a pagan ceremony goes against all our religious beliefs. Even one of the elder priests in our parish said it would be against God to attend such an event, though a younger priest said as long as we didn't take part in the ceremony, it would be OK.
I know my son doesn't believe in Satan or evil. He's a very good boy, and I'm proud of him. He has even allowed me to read the ceremony that will be performed. Actually, it's just about the most beautiful ceremony I've ever read, but I'm very confused. Should I possibly go against my faith to support my son by attending a pagan rite, or should I alienate my son because of my own religious beliefs? Any advice would be appreciated.
Dear Cha,
Oh, my, talk about dilemmas … your cauldron runneth over. Prudie, however, feels comfortable with the assessment of the younger priest, and you should, too. Since you're not participating in the actual ceremony and found nothing objectionable in the text, you and your wife should not deny this lovely son your presence. And Prudie hopes you appreciate the reversed roles in this situation: Usually, it's the mother-in-law who's the witch.
–Prudie, matrimonially
Dear Prudence,
Your advice to "Wondering, too" struck me as amazing. From years of corporate bathroom use, the rule among men seems to be nothing spoken in the "sit-downs," banal comments of the "Hot enough for you?" variety at the "stand-ups," and pleasant trifles at the washstands.
By the way, an old corporate pro once told me never to discuss anything of importance in a bathroom or an elevator. I once was in a courthouse elevator with the other side's counsel, who hadn't yet been introduced to me, who spent the ride down discussing strategy with his client!
Eyes Front
Dear Eyes,
Thank you for one of the better letters inviting Prudie to reconsider. Please read on.
Dear Prudence,
I enjoy your column and often think your advice is excellent and daring. Except in the case of "Wondering, too." I suspect Prudie was napping when she answered that one. I, myself, not being shy, wouldn't mind a friendly chat while in the office stalls but many would. Some would feel embarrassed at simply being identified and addressed in a compromising position. Others would feel tense, and conversation might interfere with the reason they are there. Not to mention that some people go there to sit and be quiet and have a small private break. Addressing someone by name, after identifying them by their shoes while they are sitting on the commode, seems downright rude to me.
–Privacy Please
Dear Pri,
Prudie has finished her nap and wishes to acknowledge that the flub-up fairy was visiting her when she answered that letter. Persuaded by several people, she now wishes to reverse herself and begs the pardon of anyone who's had to suffer chitchat during a private moment simply because Prudie said it was OK.
An interesting sidelight to bathroom Kremlinology is the men's room tradition articulated in the preceding letter. Women do not have such a rigid convention, but they weighed in, as well, with pleas for silence when nature calls.
–Prudie, correctively
I'm 28, and my boyfriend and I are expecting our first baby in January 2000. My boyfriend's mother is terribly embarrassed by the fact that we are not married. (But we've been living together for two and a half years.) I was brought up with the values that you got engaged, got married, and then started a family. For some reason, I was blessed with this baby much sooner than planned. What can I say or do to convey to my boyfriend's mother that this is a blessing and not a tragic event? Please help. Thank you very much.
Dear Con,
For one thing, you can tell your boyfriend's mother that the baby is on time; the wedding is late. (Was this woman, by any chance, a member of Congress when they decided that Ingrid Bergman should be kept out of the country? If you have no idea what Prudie is talking about, ask your parents.)
In any case, your attitude about the blessed event is most pleasing, and your relationship sounds solid. To assuage social convention, however, and to validate Prudie's suggested retort, perhaps you and the father-to-be might consider legally tying the knot … and perhaps before the little bundle of joy requires a sitter.
–Prudie, expectantly
Dear Prude,
I was ensconced in a manly game of collegiate football-watching when I overheard the womenfolk discussing proper breast-feeding etiquette. When asked, I indicated that as long as the breast is hidden under a blanket with the child, I don't mind. However, when a woman goes "National Geographic" and everything is out in the open, I feel a bit squeamish. There was no consensus amongst the men (one turned up the volume on the game so he didn't have to deal with the whole thing). The women were mixed in their opinions. So what is appropriate when breast- feeding in public? Thanks.
Dear ~jef,
Though there is disagreement on the subject, good sense and good taste would seem to dictate that this perfectly normal function can be carried out in public with as little obviousness as is feasible. Prudie is not sure about a total blanket tent for both baby and breast, but an attempt at decorous draping would seem the thing to strive for.
–Prudie, discreetly

Shelling between two pro and anti-Syrian neighborhoods in the north Lebanon port city of Tripoli on Friday left three people wounded, sources told AFP.
A security official told AFP that at least four shells and grenades fell on the two districts, one with a majority Sunni Muslim population supporting the revolt in neighboring Syria, and another populated by Alawites loyal to the Syrian regime.
Clashes in the area over the past week have left ten people dead and sparked fears that the revolt sweeping Syria since March of last year could engulf Lebanon.
Tension between the Sunni and Alawite communities in Tripoli has been fueled by the uprising in Syria and the arrival in the area of thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing the violence in their country.
Clashes broke out last weekend, after the arrest of a Sunni Islamist on charges of belonging to a terrorist organization. His supporters say he was targeted for helping Syrian refugees fleeing the unrest in their country.
On Wednesday night, a civilian was caught in the crossfire in the city and died of his wounds.
Israeli defense personnel said this week they are watching closely as Syrian gunmen begin to carry their battle into Lebanese territory.
Earlier this month, the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee issued an authorization for a call up for as many as 22 IDF battalions to guard the northern and southern fronts after hearing testimony from security officials. Almost immediately, six battalions were activated.

Hull black walnuts by rolling them under your foot until the hull falls off or scattering them on gravel and driving over them. A corn sheller or mechanical devices designed to remove the hulls from black walnuts work as well.
If you have only a few walnuts to hull or lack a mechanical device, you can drill a hole in plywood that is just smaller than the hulled nut, about 1 5/8 inches in diameter. Place the nut over the hole, and hammer at the nut. This forces the shelled walnut through the hole while forcing off the husk. It is important to remove the hull as soon as possible as the black dye in the hull and the bitter flavor can seep into the nut if left on for too long. Before hulling black walnuts, wear heavy work gloves to protect your hands from both the hard shells and the dye.
Once a black walnut is hulled, it still contains a moist shell that needs to be dried and cured or cracked immediately. Rinse the shells with water, then spread them out in a shaded area for several weeks. Once the unshelled nuts dry out, store them in a cool, dry area. You can also crack the walnuts immediately, but the meat needs to dry out before being stored or eaten.

LONDON — British Prime Minister David Cameron's rejection of a landmark accord to quell Europe's debt crisis generated cracks in his cabinet Sunday, sparking sharp criticism from the junior partners in his ruling coalition, the Liberal Democrats.
Cameron, a Conservative euro-skeptic, on Friday made Britain the only nation within the 27-member European Union to reject a summit pact aimed at shoring up the foundations of the currency through a new treaty spelling out, among other things, binding limits on government spending and borrowing.
Cameron's move brought an extraordinarily scathing reaction from his deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, who bluntly said Sunday that he was "bitterly disappointed" in Cameron's decision. He added that the move could now isolate Britain in Europe and threatened to make it a "pygmy in the world."
"This is bad for Britain," Clegg said in a lengthy BBC interview Sunday. "Euro-skeptics should be careful what they wish for." He said that Britain was close to becoming a nation "hovering somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic and not being taken seriously in Europe."
Clegg's comments did not appear to put the government in immediate jeopardy, with the deputy prime minister saying Sunday that it would be wrong for the Liberal Democrats to consider withdrawing from the coalition. But his remarks suggested how deeply the debt crisis in Europe has rattled politics in Britain, which has jealously guarded the pound and eschewed the euro.
Although Britain is not a member of the 17-nation euro zone, it is a member of the larger European Union. Thus, Cameron's decision to reject the E.U. treaty changes at the summit forced the other 26 nations of the union to try to forge a new international pact among themselves.
Cameron's veto also complicated the path for those nations, which face potential legal hurdles in drafting a deal that would boost the powers of E.U. institutions without the support or participation of one of its key members, Britain.
Cameron vetoed a broader E.U. deal after German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy rejected a bid by Cameron to win new assurances that future E.U. rules would not hurt London's financial district.
Cameron was under pressure to take a tough stance by an increasingly powerful bloc of anti-E.U. lawmakers in his Conservative Party, where some are calling for a referendum on whether London should withdraw from the union.
His decision brought swift praise from leading euro-skeptic Conservatives, including his foreign minister, William Hague.
"It is the duty of every Prime Ministerto put the national interest first, even if it means sacrificing quick applause back home or refusing to please his peers in other countries," Hague wrote in a commentary for London's Telegraph newspaper. "Not every Prime Minister passes that test but in the small hours of Friday in Brussels, David Cameron again showed that he does."
Clegg's comments Sunday were far stronger than his reaction Friday, when he showed more understanding for Cameron's decision. Soon after Cameron vetoed the deal, Clegg issued a statement calling the prime minister's conditions for an agreement "modest and reasonable."
But Clegg was coming under pressure from his Liberal Democrats, who hold a far more pro-European stance, to more aggressively denounce Cameron's move. Other pro-European Liberal Democrats in Cameron's cabinet, including Business Secretary Vince Cable, also were denouncing the decision.
But Clegg went out of his way Sunday to calm speculation that Cameron's veto could bring down the coalition government.
"It would be even more damaging for us as a country if the coalition government were now to fall apart," Clegg said. "It would be a disaster."

Visconti Declaration of Independence Rollerball Pen
July 4th, 1776 is a date that changed the world. It is the day that declared the birth of a great nation and enshrined the rights of free and independent people. Adopted by the Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence announced that the 13 American colonies, then at war with Great Britain, were now independent states, and thus no longer part of the British Empire.
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson and signed by 56 members of the Congress in pen and ink, it is fitting that Visconti would commemorate this event with an amazing limited edition rollerball pen. Visconti uses its sophisticated scrimshaw technique to replicate the full text of the Declaration of Independence onto the pen's ivory resin body. The writing is just large enough to be legible to the naked eye - a specially engraved viewing glass is included to magnify the intricate details.
A reproduction of the painting, 'Declaration of Independence' by the American artist John Trumbull, is inscribed on the barrel. The ornate bands are cast in aged sterling silver including the blind cap engraved with an American bald eagle. The rollerball pen and magnifying glass are presented in a special collector's box crafted in American walnut with leather inset embossed with the declaration's 56 signatures.
