Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - 08:00 AM
THE KOOKS hope to crack the Star-Spangled Ceiling with their second album, Konk -- named after Ray Davies's studio, where it was recorded. The single is "Always Where I Need To Be."
NEW RELEASES: Albums from Billy Bragg, El Perro Del Mar, A.A. Bondy, Flight of the Conchords, The Replacements reissues and Love's Forever Changes are among those streaming this week at Spinner.

DAN BEJAR talks to the Duke Chronicle via e-mail about his lengthy career with Destroyer, New Pornographers and Swan Lake, and his upcoming tour. You can stream the new Destroyer LP via Merge.
THE REPLACEMENTS reissues make for a natural Twofer Tuesday of "Kick Your Door Down" and that version of "Bast*rds of Young" that the lawyers are usually good at keeping offline.
SANDY DENNY: Thirty years after her untimely, lonely death, the woman lauded as the British Joni Mitchell may finally get the recognition she deserves.
BIG DIPPER: Gary Waleik tells the Boston herald that the band's reunion really got rolling after reading a blog post by Merge records owner Mac McCaughan saying someone needed to put out a good Big Dipper collection. You can still stream the collection via Merge. Yeah, it was Merge-heavy today; no, they aren't paying me.
IT'S NOT A RECORD STORE, IT'S A HANGOUT: To celebrate Record Store Day, singer-songwriter James McMurtry shared a few memories with All Things Considered of hanging out - and awkwardly self-promoting - in record stores. PopMatters, Jennifer Makowsky looks back at the way High Fidelity celebrates the era of the dusty record store and the mixtape.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON has leaked "Falling Down" and "Anywhere I lay My Head" from her Tom Waits covers album to... mixed reactions. She may have peaked with her rendition of Gershwin's "Summertime."

HARRY POTTER star Daniel Radcliffe need only mention his attraction to a mystery girl he met an Australian film function and the young lady is apparently tracked down and headed for London.
JESSICA SIMPSON & TONY ROMO got into some messy cake-play at his 28th birthday party. Life & Style reports that the pneumatic blonde's romance with Tony Romo is responsible for Simpson dialing back the makeup and hair care -- which certainly sounds nicer than the possibility that Simpson is making much less than she once did and can't afford to have hair and makeup people on call 24/7.
SIENNA MILLER is decked out in a leather catsuit for her part in the movie adaptation of G.I Joe. So why did you read to the end of that sentence?
BRUCE CAMPBELL, who will be starring in the upcoming 2008 film My Name is Bruce, which he directed and co-produced, answers PopMatters' infamous 20 Questions.

QUANTUM of SOLACE: RottenTomatoes has a bunch of behind-the-scenes promos for the next James Bond flick. But the Daily Mail has pics of the £134,000 Aston Martin DBS that plunged into Lake Garda in Italy on the way to the set.
AFGHANISTAN: The Afghan Army and police forces should be able to secure most of Afghanistan by 2011, allowing international forces to start withdrawing, according to the US commander of the NATO-led force in Afghanistan, General Dan McNeill.
IRAN: The UN nuclear agency's deputy chief arrived in Tehran for talks with Iranian officials on allegations that Iran is testing high explosives and seeking to design a missile re-entry vehicle, two features which could have use for nuclear weapons.
IRAQ: Iraqi soldiers took control of the last bastions of the cleric Moktada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia in Basra. Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari rebuked al-Sadr for his threat of all out war. US warplanes dropped bombs overnight in the east Baghdad district of Sadr City where Shia militiamen are battling security forces, residents said on Monday. A US general said on Sunday that the increasingly sophisticated attacks carried out by Shiite extremists in Iraq were evidence they were getting extra aid from Iranian groups in the country. Al Karama, a new political front, is joining together tribal sheikhs and heads of awakening councils in Baghdad, a group of technocrats and members of armed factions that have fought against AQI. Three months after US forces dropped tons of bombs on Arab Jubur and put AQI to flight, farmers are everywhere out in their fields tending their tomatoes.

A Fine Frenzy, Pipettes, MMJ, Danny Federici, Frankencroc
Monday, April 21, 2008 - 08:00 AM
A FINE FRENZY: Alison Sudol confesses to the Times of London: "I'm not very rock'n'roll.. I don't drink, I don't smoke and I don't party after a gig. I prefer to read." Indeed, Sudol has an online book club, and recently shared some of her favorites at LHB. The live video for "You Picked Me" is indirectly via Amber, who will be delighted to learn that Sudol is also vertically challenged, loves books (including The Fountainhead), cheese and swearing.
THE PIPETTES have two new members, Ani and Anna, as RiotBecki and Rosay have left to pursue other musical projects. More details at P-Fork. Disappointing, though I'll reserve judgment, given that the concept was always that of disposable pop band.
KATE NASH played the World Cafe on Friday; you can stream the gig on demand via NPR.
MY MORNING JACKET has released "Evil Urges" -- the title track of the upcoming album -- for downlaod; you can also stream it via the 'Gum Mix.
HOT CHIP stopped by The Current for a chat and mini-set (including a cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2U"), streaming on demand via MPR.
DANNY FEDERICI, a keyboardist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band since it was formed in the early 1970s, died on Thursday. He was 58. Anyone who knows me knows I love the Hammond B-3 organ, and Federici was the one serving it up on "Hungry Heart"', though he's almost as wailing in very different ways throughout songs from The River like "Jackson Cage" and "Ramrod" without calling attention to himself. And he is the chiming keyboard-driven glockenspiel on the Boss's signature "Born To Run." He will be missed.
BILLY BRAGG talks to the Philly Inquirer about his new album and how he was influenced by Simon & Garfunkel and The Clash.
ROBERT FORSTER: The former Go-Between talks to The Australian about his first solo album in nearly 12 years, the first since the 2006 death of Go-Betweens co-founder Grant McLennan. You can stream an advance track, "Pandanus," via YepRoc.
MYSPACE is set to give the major labels better terms on ad revenue than the indie bands who built the social network into a music destination. Meet the new boss.
AMY WINEHOUSE has reportedly started making plans to end her marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil. She was also caught toking up on video by the uber-reliable News of the World; record bosses have threatened to stop her from releasing any new material until she cleans up her act.
RICK ASTLEY: SurveyUSA estimates that at least 18 million Americans have now been "Rickrolled," according to a national poll of 959 adults, conducted 04/08/08.
ROB LOWE: Jessica Gibson, Lowe's former nanny who claims Robbie boy was playin' with himself and gropin' her, was secretly on the hunt for 1.5 million bucks from the actor; her boyfriend was also on the hunt for a cool mil to jump start his business, according to TMZ. The lawyer representing the ex-nanny is demanding videotaped depositions of Lowe and his wife, according to E! News.
WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The first time team up of Jet Li and Jackie Chan put The Forbidden Kingdom at the top with 20.8 million, followed fairly closely by the Judd Apatow/Jason Siegel comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall with 17.3 million. I saw the latter and enjoyed it -- not gut-bustingly funny, but Siegel captured the usual Apatow blend of raunchy and sweet. Mila Kunis is adorable, but you knew that. Prom Night tumbled to third, but is still way profitable. Al Pacino's 88 Minutes managed to debut fourth, despite having been shelved for years. Nim's Island rounds out the Top Five and comes close to breaking even. 21 drops from 3 to 6, but has made almost twice its 35 million budget. Street Kings drops 68 percent, but almost breaks even on a skimpy 20 million budget. Horton Hears a Who takes in another 3.5 million as it closes in on 150 million total, The Ben Stein doc Expelled debuts in ninth, but I can't imagine there are more intelligent design fans left to go see it. Leatherheads drops from fifth to tenth and has made less than half of its production budget.
TOM-KAT UPDATE: Gossip Girls has some kinda intrusive photos accompanying their inside look at the Tom-Kitten's 2nd birthday party.
BRADGELINA are reportedly planning a secret summer wedding - and the event could lead to a reconciliation between Angelina and her estranged actor father Jon Voight, according to the Daily Mail.
SANDRA BULLOCK & JESSE JAMES were hit by a drunk driver Friday night while riding in a private car in Gloucester, MA. They said they were fine and didn't need medical attention.

CNN's RICHARD QUEST was busted in Central Park early Friday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.
DON'T HASSEL THE HOFF: The long, messy split of Hasselhoff and Pamela Bach resulted finally in a dry, civil divorce settlement filed Thursday in a Los Angeles court. The Baywatch and Knight Rider icon keeps the rights to the Hoffworld-branded trademarks to his nickname, "Hoff," and his catchphrase, "Don't Hassel the Hoff." He seems to bag the best of what was known as his Encino, Calif., home's African room. He gets the African pipe, the ivory tusk, assorted statues and the "elephant foot and two elephant stools." Bach gets the photographs of Hollywood great Claudette Colbert and pop singer Michael Jackson that hung outside the couple's master suite. She gets the 2006 Mercedes; I presume he gets KITT.
LIZ HURLEY just did a photo shoot for her new line of swimwear. Call it Gratuitous Monday.
VLADMIR PUTIN, President of Russia, reportedly has split with Ludmilla and is preparing to marry a 24-year-old, sensationally beautiful gymnast who seems quite flexible in the photos at the link.
IRAQ: Iraqi soldiers swooped on the Basra stronghold of Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Saturday, saying they had seized control of his militia bastion where they suffered an embarrassing setback in late March. CD shops sell love songs again. Some women emerge from their homes without veils, and alcohol sellers are coming out of hiding in the southern city of Basra - where religious vigilantes have long enforced strict Islamic codes. The changes in recent weeks mark a surprising show of government sway - at least for now. Trying to stem the infiltration of militia fighters, American forces have begun to build a massive concrete wall that will partition Sadr City, the densely populated Shiite neighborhood in the Iraqi capital. In contrast to the cases of desertion during the first part of the battle for Basra, during fighting in Sadr City, two Iraqi T-72s and four other Iraqi armored vehicles arrived on the scene before US tanks were needed; the Iraqi Army also rushed ammunition to Sadr City, including machine-gun rounds and rocket-propelled grenades to give its units more firepower and address complaints of shortages. Nevertheless, al-Sadr gave a "final warning" to the government Saturday to halt a US-Iraqi crackdown against his followers or he would declare "open war until liberation." That has some worried in Najaf, but the L.A. Times also reports that the grand ayatollahs have declined to aid al-Sadr in Basra.

Turtles, Fleet Foxes, Weezer, Cutout Bin, Naked Cockatoo
Friday, April 18, 2008 - 08:00 AM
...with THE TURTLES! First cracking the Top Ten in 1965 with their cover of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me, Babe." they made the Top 30 later that year with the similar-sounding "Let Me Be," written by P.F. Sloan. Their early 1966 hit, "You Baby," was written by P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri; you may recognize the voice introducing the sync of the band performing on the streets of L.A. An album cut from the You Baby album, "Outside Chance," was co--written by Warren Zevon. "Happy Together," rejected by countless performers, became both their biggest hit and their signature song, knocking the Beatles' "Penny Lane" from the No. 1 slot in the Spring of 1967. The band appeared on the Mike Douglas show to play "Elenore" and the "House on the Hill." "Elenore," with its unique use of the term et cetera, was a jab at their label for demanding more hits like "Happy Together," but went on to hit the Top ten anyway. For many years after the band dissolved, Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman went by the name Flo & Edde, because their contract barred from using the Turtles name or their own names. The duo continued to record their own material, but were heard by most adding their trademark harmonies to hits like T. Rex's "Bang A Gong" and Bruce Springsteen's "Hungry Heart."

TERROR in the UK: Muslim activist Abu Izzadeen has been found guilty of inciting acts of terrorism abroad and fundraising for terrorist purposes.

THE STANS: Terrorists are still operating freely in Pakistan along the country's Afghanistan border, despite the US giving Pakistan more than 10.5 billion in military and economic aid, according to a government watchdog agency. The Government Accountability Office says in a report released Thursday that the US lacks a comprehensive plan to deal with the terrorist threat.
IRAN: Pres. Bush and British PM Gordon Brown jointly pledged to step up efforts to thwart Iran's nuclear enrichment program and work with European leaders to increase sanctions on the country during a press conference outside the White House on Thursday. Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, thinks the administration is not doing enough: "Within the next two years, there is a real possibility that Iran will have the means to make an atomic bomb. The reason for this awful truth is that they wanted it more than we wanted to stop them."
IRAQ will open at least six major oil and natural-gas fields for exploration and production in the first bidding for licenses since the US-led invasion in 2003. The main Sunni Muslim political bloc has agreed in principle to return to the Shiite-led government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki nearly nine months after quitting the Cabinet. Sadrist leaders asserted they refuse to hand over the-Mahdi Army's weapons to the Iraqi govt or dissolve it except if Shiite top clerics gave directives to do that (which they won't, as they don't see that as their job). A prominent govt official has asserted that "any member of the armed forces or security organs who rebels against his government and military authority will be punished." It turns out to be harder to desert than one Iraqi Army captain thought. Michael J. Totten interviews Marine Capt. Quintin Jones, commanding officer at Outpost Delta in the city of Karmah, on working with the Sunni tribal authorities.

IRAQ: The NYT's Michael Gordon reports on the desertion of a company of Iraqi soldiers from their outpost in Sadr City, while engaged with the enemy, which is a serious crime. OTOH, the Iraqi and US military were able to replace unit on short notice, and it appears that Iraqi govt forces are dug in the area. The Iraqi government is pumping 350 million into Basra, Mosul, and the Al Shula and Sadr City neighborhoods in Baghdad, in an effort to stem violence by producing jobs and reinvigorating social programs. The aim now is to launch an ambitious plan of 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day public works and services-improvement projects designed to convince the local population that the Iraqi government - and not Sadr's Mahdi Army militia - is best able to improve the quality of life. MNF-Iraq kicked off the main phase of its first major operation devoted primarily to capacity building - expanding governance, economics and infrastructure - April 15 in communities south of Baghdad in the Baghdad Province. Iraq's government removed the top military and police commanders in Basra on Wednesday; they were widely respected by US and British military leaders -- which suggests that Prime Minister al-Maliki is scapegoating them for his rush into fighting the Mahdi Army in Basra, which was a PR disaster, though more successful than the early media coverage suggested.

IRAQ: Differences have emerged between the US and Iraq on how to deal with Shiite militant Muqtada al-Sadr, with the Americans appearing more willing than the Shiite-led government to concede a legitimate political role to the anti-US cleric. Three weeks after Iraqi troops swarmed into the southern city to take on armed militiamen who had overrun the streets, many Basra residents say they feel safer and that their lives have improved. The security situation in Iraq's western Anbar province is now so stable that the US Marines regiment in charge of the area is reducing from five battalions to three.
A COUGAR was gunned down following a police chase in Chicago's Roscoe Village neighborhood. The local news goes right for criticism from the Chicago Humane Society, though experts said a tranquilizer shot could have made the wildcat more dangerous. The director of Cook County Animal Care said Tuesday the animal may have come south from Wisconsin in search of food or a mate. Cougars sometimes seek a mate, though they often are just looking for a good time.

CALLIE the LABRADOR: Is she an impostor, or did she undergo a personality change at the kennel?


It is stunning, you can be on the train line, on a bus or ferry and you will see patches of purple floating amongst the houses, dotting the skyline with gorgeous-ness. I'm a bit obsessed with taking floor shots of the falling flowers, they make the best patterns and the scattered scent is delicious.
Such intense colours, with that blue backdrop. One of the many things I love about walking the streets of Sydney.


THE BRONX — A 15-year-old girl was shot near a Bronx playground on Tuesday night, officials said.
The teen was shot in her left hip while she was walking with a group of friends at Manor Avenue and East 173rd Street, near Playground 174, around 8:30 p.m., police said.
Police released images of the two individuals allegedly involved in the shooting of 15-year-old girl in the Bronx.
The teen is not likely to die, police said. She was taken to a local hospital.
The first individual is described to be 18 to 20 years old with a thin build. He was last seen wearing dark colored pants, a hooded sweatshirt and a multi-colored jacket.
The second individual is described to be 18 to 20 years old with a heavy build. He was last seen wearing dark colored pants, a hooded sweatshirt and a dark colored hooded winter jacket.

Higher Education Funds
Fullfil a wish
Our sponsorship system covers primary, secondary and high school education (grades 1 to 12 in Nepal), but once this stage has been completed, most of the children are in a position to start vocational training or to attend the university. The Foundation provides them with guidance and help in the process of becoming independent andcontacts their sponsors to see if they wish to continue providing financial support for the students in this new stage. Sometimes, however, sponsors cannot provide further suport or cannot cover the total amount required. For this reason the Foundation has created two funds, "The University Fund" and "The Vocational Training Fund", both of which are conceived to assure the availability of the necessary funds to support all the boys and girls who aspire to attend the university or to receive vocational training.
Additionally, the Foundation has created "The College Fund", which allows financin of the extra expenses involved in college studies since the costs of grades 11 and 12 are higher than those of primary and secondary schoolings.
The University Found
Although the students contribute by earning and managing their daily maintenance expenses, the cost of college university enrolment and material fees in Nepal is an average of $ 3,000 per year, which some but not all of the sponsors are in a position to cover.
We anticipate that each year 3 students will require outside support, making for a sum of about $ 9,000 to be covered by this fund.
If you would like to help these students to achieve their aspirations of becoming doctors, teachers or any other profession in which they can contribute to their country's development, and if you want to help them to make their dreams come true, we invite you to cooperate by donating to our University Fund.
The David Bidwell Vocational Training Fund
We are committed to providing our children with the best education possible. However, we know that not everyone is able to continue beyond grade 10 (secondary school) or even to reach this level in some cases. For this reason we have developed a programme to provide young people with vocational training in non-academic subjects, preparing them for life after leaving the Kailash Home in this way.
If you would like to provide suport for these students so they can successfully face their working lives on leaving our home, please cooperate by making a donation to the David Bidwell Vocational Training Fund.This Fund has been created in memory of David Bidwell, the co-founder of the Kailash Home project.
The College fund
Although our sponsorship system covers children's studies through grade 12, we know that some children do not come to attend high school (grades 11 and 12), so that the additional costs involved in these two school years ($ 600) are not included in the annual amount of $ 1,600 undertaken by sponsors.
An average of 16 students per year attend high school, which entails an additional expense of $ 9,600. For this reason the Foundation has created the College Fund.
If you would like to support the boys and girls of Kailash Home who attend high school so that they can continue their education, you can cooperate with us by making a donation to the College Fund

Iowa farmers had another good week for harvesting with 5.3 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending Nov. 4, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included harvesting corn and soybeans, baling stalks, anhydrous and manure application, fall tillage, tile repair, and planting cover crops.
Topsoil moisture levels across Iowa rated 1 percent short, 71 percent adequate and 28 percent surplus. In west central Iowa levels rated 84 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus.
Subsoil moisture levels statewide rated 2 percent short, 71 percent adequate and 27 percent surplus. Ratings in west central Iowa were 77 percent adequate and 23 percent surplus.
Seventy-two percent of the state's corn for grain crop has been harvested, three days ahead of last year but one day behind the five-year average. Farmers in central Iowa have harvested 80 percent of their corn for grain while farmers in the southwest have 45 percent of their corn for grain remaining to be harvested. Moisture content of field corn being harvested averaged 17 percent.
Soybean harvest was 88 percent complete, two days behind last year and six days behind the average.
Iowa preliminary weather summary by Dr Justin Glisan, state climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship – Much of Iowa had slightly warmer than average temperatures from the end of October into early November; temperatures were around two degrees warmer than normal.
The reporting period saw above average rainfall mainly in eastern Iowa with many locations between 0.40-0.80 inches more than normal. Light rain showers moved across eastern Iowa on Monday, Oct. 29, with only a handful of stations reporting measurable rainfall; Cedar Rapids (Linn County) reported 0.11 inches. Widespread and heavier rain fell on Tuesday as a cold front swept across Iowa. Afternoon thunderstorms quickly formed and moved into Illinois. Maquoketa (Jackson County) observed 1.67 inches, 1.58 inches more than normal. Keokuk (Lee County) reported 0.50 inches as the front slowly moved southeast.
Wednesday, Oct. 31, was a quiet day with high pressure controlling the pattern. Conditions were partly to mostly sunny with highs in the upper 50s. A low pressure system gradually moved into northwest Iowa late Thursday into Friday, bringing rain showers to portions of western Iowa. Showers redeveloped during late afternoon in southeastern Iowa.
A second low pressure system slowly moved through the region Saturday into Sunday, Nov. 3-4, bringing widespread, measurable rainfall to much of Iowa. Total accumulations over this period ranged from a few tenths of an inch to well over an inch; Anamosa (Jones County) reported 1.48 inches. Cloud cover kept daytime highs cooler than normal, ranging from the upper 40s to lower 50s and overnight lows warmer than average.
Bloomfield (Davis County) reported the week's high of 71 degrees on Oct. 29, 12 degrees warmer than average. The week's coldest overnight low of 25 degrees was recorded in multiple counties in northwestern Iowa on Nov.1, on average six degrees cooler than normal.

Shell LNG Outlook 2018
The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market has continued to defy expectations, growing by 29 million tonnes in 2017, according to Shell's latest LNG Outlook. Based on current demand projections, Shell sees potential for a supply shortage developing in the mid-2020s, unless new LNG production project commitments are made soon.
The Shell LNG Outlook, now in its second year, highlights key trends in 2017 and focuses on future global supply and demand.
It finds that, since the start of the century, the number of countries importing LNG has quadrupled, while the number of countries supplying LNG has almost doubled. LNG trade increased from 100 million tonnes in 2000 to nearly 300 million tonnes in 2017.
The mismatch in requirements between buyers and suppliers is growing. Most suppliers still seek long-term LNG sales to secure financing. But LNG buyers increasingly want shorter, smaller and more flexible contracts so they can better compete in their own downstream power and gas markets.
This mismatch needs to be resolved to enable LNG project developers to make final investment decisions that are needed to ensure there is enough future supply of this cleaner-burning fuel for the world economy.
Strong LNG fundamentals exceeded expectations in 2017

Update your wardrobe with this versatile cowl neck jersey top. With a cross over front detail, this long sleeved top flatters the figure and is adorned with a classic all over print. Pair with jeans and boots for an Autumnal look.
Love the style and length of this top. Feels very flattering. It isn't grey though, it's black and white, which I actually prefer. I thought I'd need to wear something under it but it isn't as see through as I thought it might be.
As advertised. As a previous reviewer mentioned it errs on the big side. I am normally a size 14 but ordered size 12 which is perfect.
This is my first buy from Roman Originals, but I'll definitely be looking for more. It's a lovely material, washes beautifully and has been much admired.
looks good and feels comfortable, a lovely style !
this is a lovely top hangs nicely and covers all your lumps and bumps.
Lovely lovely top, I'm a size 12 and fit is perfect. colour and pattern a little bolder than expected but I'm still delighted with it.
I bought this top to team with the faux leather trousers and they go together perfectly.
Really lovely. Long enough to wear with leggings. After reading the reviews I ordered a size down and glad I did, it fits well.
I think the top is quite classy & a little bit different. It's the first item I have ordered online & have been very pleased with the service.
Very pleased with the top & very comfortable. Can definitely recommend.
Very flattering. Good for all occasions. Recommend item.
One of the nicest tops I have bought in a while. Really good fit, doesn't cling and is very slimming. Bit more lightweight than I expected but can be work with a vest top underneath in the colder weather. So glad I bought it.
More flimsy than it looks but still a nice little number.
The top is unusual and not something I would normally choose but I'm glad I did. I'm a size 16 and I ordered a size 16 but you could go a size lower as the wrap over gives extra room in the body.
Pleased with top. Fits perfectly. Would recommend but need to advertise as black and white.
Is there a cami underneath it?

Group 'bottles' hope
Monday, September 8th 2008, 5:03 pm
By Doug Warner, NEWS 9
MIDWEST CITY, Okla. - Nance Ross tries to bottle hope.
Ross and the other members of Central Oklahoma Polymer Clay Guild are creating gifts for cancer patients.
Ross got the idea from a cancer survivor in Rhode Island who used old cancer medicine bottles to create clay works of art.
"There comes a time when they are so surrounded by doctors, medicine and things," Ross said. "To have something in their hand that has helped save people, to have something that someone took hours to make, really raises their spirits and makes them feel not quite so isolated I think."
Twana Davidson has been battling cancer for two years. She proudly displays her bottle of hope on her bedroom dresser.
"It's up high, so I can see it," Davidson said. "The last few weeks when I've been rundown, I'll see that and think, it's almost over, just the hope and the faith."

Over the Edge - ...
K. and I watched Over the Edge last night. Made in 1979 by director Jonathan Kaplan (Brokedown Palace), it's an edgy story of teenage rebellion in the American suburbs, banned from theaters for it's frank portrayal of sex, drugs, and violence. Tim Hunter, who would go on to direct River's Edge and Tex, wrote the screenplay based on a true story of youthful revolt in a suburb of San Francisco.
The story follows a group of teens in a pre-planned community that feel alienated and abandoned by adult society, which in turn seems terrified of them. Their conflict escalates over the course of the film into a spectacular clash. A fifteen year old Matt Dillon makes his debut in the film, along with a cast of unknown teenage actors.
"That movie pretty much defined my whole personality," said Kurt Cobain of the film, which he claimed as his favorite. "It was really cool. Total anarchy."
The soundtrack is pretty good, heavy with Cheap Trick, but also Hendrix, the Cars, Van Halen, and the Ramones.

Na Yai Am (, ) is a district (amphoe) in the western part of Chanthaburi province, eastern Thailand.

History
The district was created on 1 April 1992 by splitting off the five western tambons of Tha Mai district. It was upgraded to a full district on 5 December 1996.

Its name "Na Yai Am" directly translates as "grandma Am's rice field". This was because here in the past was the residence and rice field of an old woman named Yai Am (grandma Am) and a place where people passed by. Therefore called by name of the owner.

Geography
Neighbouring districts are (from the west clockwise) Klaeng of Rayong province, Kaeng Hang Maeo, and Tha Mai of Chanthaburi Province. To the southwest is the Gulf of Thailand.

Administration
The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 67 villages (mubans). Na Yai Am is a township (thesaban tambon) which covers parts of tambon Na Yai Am. There are a further six tambon administrative organizations (TAO) responsible for the non-municipal areas.

View Full Version : For when we get the P-38, can someone teach me the 4 leaf clover maneuver?
I can teach your how to do it Boosher - of course I'll have to get used to doing it in the 38 first! It should be fairly easy since we won't have to deal with engine yaw effect.
Adolf Galland was almost killed by a pilot who used this maneuver.
I hate money, I never have enough of it.
If you dont mind me askin, but what kind of menuever is that?
Not familiar with this manuver myself... Will check my books and see what I can find.
The graphic is a bit confusing - that's what it looks like from the top down.
Here's a basic description of how it's flown. Actual parameters vary on entry speed, power available for a given airplane at a given altitude, nose track used throughout the maneuver, energy retention of the aircraft etc. It is exclusively a precision visual aerobatic maneuver. You must make liberal use of external visual references to ensure symmetry for each loop of the maneuver.
Typical parameters: Find an area with good ground references before you start the maneuver. A good technique is to line up on a straight road for the initial part of the maneuver - this will help you guage symmetry of the maneuver as you fly it, and make corrections as necessary.
At Mil power, start a dive to attain 'entry airspeed' (TBD with testing). Level off at desired base altitude and start a climb at initially 2-3 g. Keep the same rate of nose track through the climb portion as speed, g, and control force deflection changes. Keep wings level through the pull by cross-checking left and right wingtip position relative the horizon. As the aircraft passes through 45 deg. nose high (approximately where your feet would touch the horizon if you could see through the cockpit floor), pick a visual reference directly off your left or right wingtip and smoothly add aileron in that direction and continue to pull and roll until you are directly pointed to your reference point, wings level inverted. You should reach exactly the same airspeed at this point for every 'leaf' of the maneuver. My guess is it is less than 150 mph IAS. At this point it's like a split-S.
Use sufficient backstick pressure during the split-S portion to end up wings level at the same airspeed and altitude as the entry, but exactly 90 degrees off. That's one leaf. The next three 'leaves' of the maneuver will turn at the top in the same direction as the first (all left climbing turns at the top, or all right). After 4 leaves, you should be at the same altitude and entry airspeed, and going in the original direction.
Note: I don't know what the powerloading of the P38 is at different altitudes and atmospherics conditions, and I don't know if it's possible to fly a cloverleaf with it without losing altitude on each leaf. We'll have to see when it comes out! If it can do continuous loops without losing altitude, it will work well.
Also, there are no exact parameters for any given plane for this maneuver - but, you should fly so every leaf hits the same parameters and is perfectly symmetrical. A lot of 'technique' can be incorporated to achieve this.
My understanding is that the "Cloverleaf", if not exclusive to, was best utilized by the P-38.
It was developed by John Lowell, Col., 364th FG.
Unfortunately, I don't think FB's physics engine will allow an accurate/effective simulation of a RL P-38 Cloverleaf.

Amazon Rainforest Culture: Peoples, Cosmovision, Languages, Myths, and More
There is not only one Amazonian culture, but as many as peoples in the rainforest (see anthropological definition of culture ). However, we will refer here to the common traits of the groups of individuals that inhabit the immense Amazon river basin.
Indigenous People Cosmovision
In general terms, we can refer to a common worldview or cosmovision typical to all the Amazonian cultures.
Almost all Amazonian groups have a particular way of relating to nature, with their group and with other people outside their group.

This form of interaction has been built up gradually, sometimes since the very remote past.
That way of thinking about the world, and inserting oneself into it, forms a cosmovision.
The indigenous is formed from childhood within the framework of a worldview that informs him about his relationship with the telluric and uranic gods.
This worldview establishes a hierarchical order of the cosmos, a structure of community life, in which myths (symbols in words) and rites (symbols in actions) are staged, which explains the origin of the world and helps individuals live meaningful lives.
This cosmogonic conception guides their behavior and their perceptions throughout his life as long as they remain in the group (1) .
Amazonian culture vs western culture
For an Amazonian indigenous person, with his or her cultural peculiarities, there is no clear separation between individual and society, culture and nature.
In practice, an Amazonian indigenous person has little or no possibility or autonomy to have an individual behavior different than the group behavior, and the degree of individualism is very weak or almost non-existent, contrary to a society of Western capitalist culture, in which that individualism is a distinctive trait (2).
The person, in an Amazonian society, builds an area full of meanings, in which nature is incorporated into the worldview, attributing meaning to the ethos and the community (3) .
Ethos, understood in the manner of Bourdieu (4) , as a set of rules, strategies or ideological constructs, beliefs, predispositions and habitual practices that shape ideology.
In this case, the person internalizes the landscape and turns it into a leading element in their daily life (5) .
As the Amazon Development and Environment Commission says:
The most important lesson of the indigenous peoples is their insertion in the ecosystems and their close interrelation with them (6) .
For them, "their cosmovision is their portrait, their conception of nature, of the person, of society", as Geertz points out (7) .
The flow of daily existence translates the rhythms of nature, and things are ordered according to the cycles of nature, day and night, sun and energy.
Myths and legends (cosmogony)
The cosmogony of the peoples of the Amazon is almost as abundant as its flora and fauna . As in other cultures, the myth sometimes seems a way to restrict certain behaviors that are inappropriate, dangerous or that contravene the environmental balance that ensures life. (Learn more about it: Amazonian Food Taboos)
A palm tree is the heroine in this tragedy from Brazil's indigenous oral tradition.
Ancient fables of the birth of the world, of the sun and night from Egypt, Greece, Aztecs and Amazonia.
Legends of terror in the jungle: the Iwias, the chullachaqui, the tunchi, the mapinguarí, the yacuruna, the yacumama, the bufeo colorado and more.
The curupira
The Curupira, for example, protects those who hunt to feed on the animal and punishes those who hunt for pleasure, to sell the meat to third parties or to accumulate profits.
The Boto Colorado
Thus, the legend of "El Boto Colorado", is a pink dolphin that transforms into a human to seduce women, this myth helps girls to be careful of strangers.
Yacuruna
A similar myth but with another connotation is that of Yacuruna or "river man" whose importance is fundamental in the low jungle.
Yacumama
The Yacumama or Chullachaqui represents the female deity who cares for the jungle and appears in the form of a boa, anaconda or mapanare snake.
The spirits or "owners" of the jungle.
The indigenous populations share their life, and their values, with spiritual beings who live in the jungle.
The plant and animal world is anthropomorphized (seen as human).
In this context, the reproduction of living conditions, that is, activities related to hunting, fishing, gathering, caring for the farm and the family garden, are mediated by agreements between human beings and "chiefs" or "owners" (spirits) of areas, territories or animals.
In this worldview, each plant, animal or environment has a "chief" or "owner" who lives in the place and preserves it, and from whom permission must be sought to intervene.
This concept of "owner" is shared in a general way by the native Amazonian communities.
For them, this concept of owner is ambivalent, that threatens and protects, mediating between human beings and nature.
The owner transmits the rules of use of the resource, establishing the order and character of the relations between men and nature.
A hunter must not kill an animal without the permission of the "owner", nor hunt more than what is necessary (8) .

Environmental exploitation in harmony with the ecosystem.
In that cosmovision there is no place for the abuse of a natural resource, nor is destructive pressure exerted on the water, the forest, the soil.
Only part of what exists is used.
There is no notable economic surplus, nor a purpose of accumulation of wealth among them, since the Amazonian inhabitants confer to plants and animals the attributes of social life, considering them as subjects rather than objects (9) .
Indigenous Peoples and their languages
The Amazonian indigenous peoples are many and very diverse. Some groups cross borders such as the Yanomami who live between the Venezuelan and Brazilian Amazons or the Achuar who share the border between Ecuador and Peru.
So before differentiating between indigenous ethnic groups of one country or another, it is important to know their families or linguistic trunks.
The Pano language family, for example, is made up of about 30 languages spoken in the Peruvian, Brazilian and Bolivian Amazon Rainforest.
These are the main linguistic families or trunks that exist in the Amazon basin today: Tupí, Ye or Gé, Quechua, Carib, Arawak, Pano-Tacana and Tucana, Jíbaro or Achuar.
The economy of the Amazon region is conditioned not only by the geographical context, relief, climate, flora and fauna as sources of raw materials, but especially by the rain and the river.
The main modes of economic production or modes of subsistence commonly used among the indigenous people of the Amazon are:
All about fishing in Amazonas: types of fishing (artisanal, commercial, artisanal fish fishing, sport fishing), places (cochas and lagoons), fish.

Amazon Rainforest Women

The first impression that the Western world had of them was that they were warriors, but the Amazonian women plays above all the roles of mothers, cooks, farmers, healers, within the framework of customs, beliefs, taboos and ancestral wisdom. They are signed by the family and social group to which they belong.
Typical dishes (gastronomy)
Females are the anonymous signatories of the extensive Amazonian food (roasts, soups, broths, porridges, breads, desserts, drinks ); They are also mothers, artists, creators of fascinating fabrics and drawings (Kene Art), co-creators of dances, of Amazonian music, and they are not limited to that, they also intervene, with their restrictions, in hunting, fishing and gathering.

Amazon rainforest tribes clothing
As we have seen, the Amazon region is home to many cultures and ways of life.
Although the most of the natives have adopted a western dressing style. there are still those who walk around almost naked inside the jungle or wearing their own traditional clothing.

Perhaps the latter are the majority, since more than
From the 30 million inhabitants who live in the Amazon basin, of which less than a
Only one million people or less keep practicing their ancestral customs, out of 30 million inhabitants of the Amazon basin.
The clothing or attire that is used daily is different from the one used in the festivities or the one used when tourists come to visit.
In any case, beyond the classic loincloth or guayuco, there are many types of skirts, often made with vegetable fibers or tree bark. Ornaments are also abundant, such as feathers, animal skin bracelets, necklaces made with animal bones, and paintings with natural pigments such as achiote or onoto (Bixa orellana).
Typical dances
As you can imagine, the tribal dances of the Amazon are many and not all of them have a specific name to identify them, many are supposed to have disappeared and others survived the conquest and still survive today, among them we can mention the following:
From Ecuador we find: the Yuni dance ( typical of the Achuar), Tushuy taqui sacha manda (which means music and dance of the jungle and is typical of the indigenous groups of Pastaza, Orellana and Napo) or the dance of the Wuaodani .
The bambuco is practiced in Colombia and Venezuela, others more typical of the Colombian Amazon Rainforest region are: the Danza de los Novios, the Danza de los Sanjuanes, the Zuyuko dance and the Bèstknatè that celebrates the meeting between two indigenous tribes.
Amazon Rainforest Music
The music is directly related to the dance. In the Amazon region, each musical rhythm or style also has its dance.
Also noteworthy are the Amazonian musical instruments: percussion (indigenous drums such as the manguaré or high drums, bells, rattles or maracas) and wind (flutes, reed and ceremonial trumpets, ocarinas or snail trumpets)
Kichwa music from the Amazon-Ecuador
Gerson Alvarado
The Amazon region is constantly the subject of video and film records that document the life of its wild animals, its habitat, and its indigenous cultures.
These celluloid or digital records often serve to raise awareness among the population about the importance of valuing, respecting and protecting the jungle of the illegal commercial logging activity , of the fires, pollution from mining extraction, illicit crops and the indiscriminate hunting among other factors that endanger the subsistence of many animal and plant species.
Clarification on the term "culture"
The social sciences consider culture as a totality or unit with a high degree of complexity that encompasses cultural symbols, ideas, norms, customs, values, which function as a mechanism of action and social control that governs the behavior of the members of a group or society, through a learning process known as enculturation.
In a specific society, its members internalize a system of meanings and symbols that they receive from their predecessors as a legacy, through tradition, to imagine the world and place themselves in it.
Culture and anthropology.
According with the North American anthropologist Clifford Geertz, culture is the network or plot of meanings with which we give meaning to the phenomena or events of everyday life. And it acts as a series of control mechanisms that govern the behavior of the members of a group.
In such a way that culture is for a particular human group as its cultural fingerprint, to the point that there are no two human groups with the same culture.
Some consider that this sense of cultural identity that characterizes a group acts as a compass to guide its members in mental maps that make up their lifestyles.

PHUKET: A series of raids by officers from the Phuket Provincial Police has netted four suspects along with 1,006 pills of ya bah (methamphetamine), 63.99 grams of ya ice (crystal meth) and a handful of bullets – but no firearm.
Led by Lt Col Pongpan Siripattaranukul, the team of officers carried out the raids on Friday (Dec 14).
According to the brief reported filed by the team, the first suspect arrested was Suton Netsuwan, 27, who was taken into custody at an address on Patak Rd in Karon.
He was found in possession of six pills of ya bah, 9.85 grams of ya ice as well as 11 bullets and a shotgun cartridge. Despite carrying the ammunition, Suton was not found to be carrying a firearm.
Also arrested on Patak Rd in Karon was the second suspect, Kamarussaman Wangwang, 36, who was found to be in possession of 56 pills of ya bah and 0.62 grams of ya ice.
Both suspects were taken to Karon Police Station, where Suton was charged with possession of a Category 1 drug with intent to sell and illegal possession of ammunition while Kamarussaman was charged with possession of a Category 1 drug with intent to sell.
The third suspect arrested was Panuwat Wirulsri, 34, at an address in Moo 4 Rawai. He was found to be in possession of four pills of ya bah and 0.37 grams of ya ice.
The fourth and final suspect, Pol Srijantab, 36, was arrested at an address in Chalong, where officers seized 940 pills of ya bah and 53.15 grams of ya ice.
Panuwat and Pol were both taken to Chalong Police Station, where Panuwat was charged with illegal possession of a Category 1 drug and Pol was charged with possession of a Category 1 drug with intent to sell.
Police revealed no further details of the arrests.
But the taps ( drugs factories) keep running and running! Flowing and flowing.
A 'catch' of 1000 pils is peanuts.
Good work and hold the steam up.

Q: Autocomplete on input making content jump I have an input and in Chrome when the autocomplete menu pops up and you hover over one of the selections the content below the input jumps.  Its like the autocomplete selection is adding vertical padding for some reason.  How can I stop this it's annoying.  Here is an example:
Fiddle Demo
You will probably have to go the fiddle because in the snippet the autocomplete is disabled for some reason.  But if you click on the input and hover over an autocomplete entry you can see the green box move.  Why is this happening and how do you disable this behavior.

div{
  width:300px;
  height:200px;
  background: green;
}
<input type="text" name="q" />

A: It's related to the default styles that webkit browsers apply to autofill. It seems there is a defined border different from the default one. You can simply try to override some styles in order to avoid the issue.
Changing only the border fixed this (at least for me)

div{
  width:300px;
  height:200px;
  background: green;
}

input:-webkit-autofill,
input:-webkit-autofill:hover,
input:-webkit-autofill:focus {
  border:1px inset;
}
<input type="text" name="q" />

Related: Removing input background colour for Chrome autocomplete?

A: Its the behavior of the web browser.
you can override it with :hover and make sure its width are always 99% and then have it within a countainer.
Se my example below.

div{
  width:300px;
  height:200px;
  background: green;
}

input,input:hover{
width:99%;

}

<input type="text" name="q" />

To obtain healthy blood sugar metabolism, we need, among other things, the transketolase enzyme. As with many other enzymes, this enzyme needs a co-factor, in this case, in the form of thiamine. The disadvantage, however, is that this enzyme is water soluble, meaning that it has limited availability for the cell because it cannot easily penetrate the cell wall. Mega Benfotiamine is fat soluble and thus a more suitable alternative. In this form, it can penetrate the cell wall more easily and is better adapted to the body than thiamine. In this way, Mega Benfotiamine forms the foundation for a strong vitamin, thus contributing as a supplement to better blood sugar metabolism.
Additionally, the composition of Mega Benfotiamine is based on a comprehensive scientific foundation. In a scientific study, Benfotiamine proved to demonstrate 300% more transketolase activity in cells, whereas thiamine produced an increase of only 20%. This strong activity leads to noticeably less vascular damage, resulting in an additional positive effect upon our health.
Moreover, benfotiamine blocks the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (KF-kB). This prevents various inflammatory diseases, permitting the additional vitamins to contribute to better health and life quality.
The benfotiamine in Mega Benfotiamine helps activate glucose metabolism and helps improve a healthy blood sugar level, if this level is within a healthy range. Mega Benfotiamine also contributes to maintaining an optimal endothelial function. Moreover, taking Mega Benfotiamine helps support healthy nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels and the heart and thus has great added value for our health.
Would you like to order vitamin B1 in a fat-soluble form that can easily penetrate the cells? It is one of the strong vitamins that help you effectively improve your health. You can buy vitamins online, for example, by ordering Mega Benfotiamine in addition to the different multivitamins available. Do you order online? We provide smooth delivery to your home address.


The European Union has imposed sanctions on Russian military intelligence chiefs over the nerve agent attack on a former Russian double agent in Britain last year.
EU foreign ministers meeting Monday in Brussels slapped travel bans and asset freezes on four Russians, including the head and deputy head of Russia's military intelligence, for the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia.
Moscow dismissed the sanctions as groundless. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "we have still not heard any evidence" against the accused.
A Russian foreign ministry statement said, "We reserve the right to take retaliatory measures over this unfriendly step."
Russia has denied charges it was behind the nerve agent attack on the Skripals. The two Russian men accused of carrying out the attack have said they were innocent tourists.
"Today's new sanctions deliver on our vow to take tough action against the reckless and irresponsible activities of the Russian military intelligence organization, the GRU, which put innocent British citizens in serious danger in Salisbury last year," said British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hun.
EU foreign ministers Monday also imposed sanctions on a Syrian research center and its staff for its alleged use of chemical weapons.
