Vintage Coca Cola Advertising
Vintage Coca-Cola sign of a boy sitting on a tree stump fishing with his dog. This is a tin sign with sweet Norman Rockwell art used for advertising Coca Cola. The background color is a dark blue with other colors of cream, black green and red and the traditional red of the oval Coca Cola emblem on the bottom of the sign. There are four holes for hanging, one in each corner.
The sign has the normal wear of a vintage item with some paint loss, scratches and rust. The back is a gold color with some scratching.
If you like vintage signs or vintage advertising, this is a nice piece to add to a collection.
The sign measures 16 inches by 10 1/4 inches.

This is the first Christmas in 35 years that I’ve been right away from my family. We did all gather early on in December but it’s very strange to be in another country without my family near. It’s been a struggle to “get into the Christmas spirit” and I’ve spent time reflecting on what Christmas is really all about.
My childhood memories of Christmas revolve around a silver tinsel Christmas tree, fairy lights and boxes under the trees that presents magically appeared in during the week before Christmas. Christmas Day we were allowed to open one present each before we went off to church. I knew from an early age that the birth of Jesus was the central part of Christmas.
This year however, it’s all a little different. I don’t have any traditions to follow. There’s been no Christmas parties, no Christmas cards in the mail (though I may find I have a stack when I return in January!)
Christmas can be a time fraught with difficulty for many people. Families have high hopes of a good time together that can be marred by family arguments. Loved ones who have passed away during the year are doubly missed. People feel loneliness more keenly, especially if they’ve outlived their spouses and friends, if their family is unable or unwilling to visit, if life choices and addictions mean that family ties are splintered.
We’ve all bought into the Christmas- is-about-family idea, and there’s really not all that much wrong with that. After all, a family was formed at Christmas when Jesus was born. Families are important in God’s scheme of things as God is all about relationships.
But I think there’s something more. Over the last 6 or 7 years I’ve been reflecting deeply on the kingdom of God and what it really means. Jesus spoke about it so much. His message over and over was that the kingdom of God is near.
The Wise Men came seeking the newborn king. Herod killed baby boys to prevent any pretender to his crown remaining alive.
This Christmas life circumstances have forced me to focus on Christmas as the coming of the king. God had promised a messiah. The Jews had longed for a king. Jesus was both. But as my dear friend Ruth so aptly put it the “Kingdom never ‘looks right’ – it looks like defeat (but is really victory); it looks like loss (but reveals great gain); it looks like death (but is truly life!).”
The king came but not to a palace. The king came but not to a fanfare of media (unless perhaps for the angel chorus). The king came but not to safety (he and his family fled to Egypt). The king came but the people who had longed for a king and messiah didn’t accept him. The king came and was enthroned (on a cross).
But the resurrection proved that the king had come and that the kingdom of God was and is a reality.
So at Christmas time, millennia later, I rejoice because the king has come!

Yesterday, Fight for the Future took a step in the fight against mass surveillance by launching AirlinePrivacy.com, – a flight-booking site that has one main goal – helping people find safe alternatives to airlines that partake in facial recognition program.
If you took a flight at JetBlue in the last year you’ve probably noticed something new. MacKenzie Fegan sure has, as JetBlue decided to replace boarding passes with facial recognition. Her tweet about the issue went viral as more and more people started pointing out how insane is it that some private airline company has your biometric data.
How do they know your face and what you look like? JetBlue replied to MacKenzie on Twitter telling her that the biometric data is provided by the Department of Homeland Security.
This is a direct assault to your privacy as it only takes six seconds to get your face scanned after which it’s stored for a minimum of 12 hours if you are a US citizen, if not a US citizen it will be saved within DHS servers forever.
One more issue when it comes to face-scanning is the fact that it can never be 100% correct, as we have previously seen with mobile devices that use face recognition.
To combat this issue AirlinePrivacy.com provides detailed explanations about what the Airlines actually are doing and what it means to you as a passenger. Once you’re on the website you have the choice to tweet airline services, to help the cause and force them to stop the face-surveillance before it becomes common.
You are also given a list of surveillance-free airlines and the ability to book flights directly from the website. Some of the websites that use facial recognition are Delta, American Airlines, British Airways, and Lufthansa with main focus on JetBlue.
As many people have complained, it is inconvenient and it just doesn’t feel right. It not only removes the human factor, the airline’s staff, but it also makes you feel like livestock that gets scanned without consent. The idea itself that private companies have access to your biometric data is even scarier. It begs the question: “Who else has access to the scans of my face?”.
This is a fairly young issue and force-stopping it now is the best option because if it goes mainstream no one will be able to stop them.

England's Six Nations campaign has been given a boost with the return of star duo Maro Itoje and Billy Vunipola.
Saracens have included the lock Itoje and No.8 Vunipola in their starting XV for Sunday's Premiership clash against Wasps.
Itoje suffered a broken jaw druing Saracens' defeat to Harlequins early in December, while Vunipola has been out of action since September 2017 due to a knee injury.
England expected to be without the service of the star duo, however, it seems they have fully recovered ahead of schedule.
England kick off their Six Nations campaign against Italy in Rome on February 4.

Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris may be slipping in the polls nationally, but today she rolled out a fairly impressive list of supporters here in Illinois.
Included in the list for the California senator: two U.S. House members, the Chicago city clerk and several state legislators. Also included are activists close to U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Heading the list of members of Harris' Leadership Council are congressmen Bobby Rush and Danny Davis, both Chicago Democrats.
Also included are City Clerk Anna Valencia, state Sens. Mattie Hunter and Ram Villivalam, state Reps. Bob Morgan and Deb Conroy, and Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering.
Nikki Budzinski, a senior adviser to Pritzker, will serve on the council, too, as will Valerie Alexander, Durbin's former chief of staff, and Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller.
Harris' announcement comes a day after another candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, was in town for a series of big-dollar fundraisers.
None of the state's top Democrats—Durbin, fellow Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Pritzker or Mayor Lori Lightfoot—have yet indicated a public presidential preference.

Shane Smith & The Saints Drop Second Single of ’22, Fire In The Ocean
They are one Texas' most dynamic and most must-see live bands. For many Texas and Red Dirt fans Shane Smith and the Saints have been the band in waiting. Just out there grinding, waiting for that landslide moment, a tipping point, that launches them to the stratosphere.
The guys got a taste of that last November when they were featured on the hit television show Yellowstone. And if you missed it, it appears they may have an even more prominent role on Season 5 of the show (click here for more on that). Additionally they've spent a lot of time this year on the road supporting Whiskey Myers -- a strategic move that will likely pay off massive dividends.
Shane Smith and the Saints received their first taste of radio success in the early '10s, with hits including "Dance the Night Away," and "Feather in The Wind." From there they have established themselves as one of the scene's best and most respected bands.
In the summer of 2019 Shane and the boys released their epic, Hail Mary, in parts, featuring the smash, "Heaven Knows."
Today they are back with more new music, their second release of the 2022, "Fire In The Ocean." Check it out:

Five speed networking sessions will take place across two days as part of Ealing Business Expo 2020, giving you the chance to meet lots of other local business people in a short space of time – and start to build valuable contacts.
The popular annual event is free to attend and will take place across two days: Monday, 23 March and Tuesday, 24 March. You can already register an interest in having an exhibition stand – or sign-up for updates as the organisers gear-up for the event.
Each year, Ealing Business Expo provides local groups, services, businesses and individuals the chance to come together, swap ideas and take part in business-building, networking and hearing local experts share their stories for success.
Speed networking has proved one of the most popular elements of the event, so the number of sessions has been increased to five at Expo 2020.
Carlene Bender, from organisers The ContactUs Network, said: “Speed networking is a quick and guaranteed way to get your business brand noticed by a large number of people in a short period of time. Over the space of 45 minutes, a participant will have about a minute of one-to-one, face-to-face time to tell each of about 20 people what their business is about. You never know who you’re going to meet there. Quite often it’s businesses that you recognise from social media anyway, and it’s typically very exciting, noisy and energetic.”
Around 700 people are expected to attend the event from across London – and many businesses or groups will opt to have an exhibition stand.
But, if you do not have your own business but have simply dreamed of starting one, you are still encouraged to attend free of charge as a visitor to get advice and be inspired.
As well as the speed networking, there are opportunities to join in panel discussions and round-table talks, information and advice sessions, guest talks and workshops.
The Expo will be held between 11am-5pm on both days at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Ealing Common (2-8 Hanger Lane W5 3HN). It is organised by The ContactUs Network and has been supported each year by Ealing Council and other local organisations and businesses.

Time Out Says
Rich Café offers a welcome respite for shoppers from the hustle and bustle of the mall. Bright and airy with very comfortable seats and high-chairs for little nippers, a distinctly relaxed and friendly vibe emanates from Rich Café. The menu is decent, offering a varied selection of soups and sandwiches, main meals, freshly- baked pastries, sweet treats and breakfast options. The latter throws up a pretty good English breakfast with mini chicken sausages, grilled mushrooms, baked beans, eggs and toast. If you fancy something altogether more decadent, the French breakfast is a good option; two thick slices of fresh bread flavoured with vanilla, dressed with mixed berries and drizzled with maple syrup. Service is pretty good, and coming in at under Dhs100 for two dishes and coffee, it’s good value.

General Motors Death Watch 87: Dead Beat
A few days after GM's vice president of vehicle sales, service and marketing assured auto industry analysts that his employer will maintain incentive-free “value pricing," General Motors announced two grand cash back on the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, Avalanche and Suburban and the GMC Yukon, Yukon XL and Denali. To be fair, nobody took LaNeve’s price promise seriously. By now, everyone knows GM’s new(ish) SUV’s are a drug on the market, and it ain’t Viagra. There’s only way to move the metal: lower the price. Either that or stop making the damn things.
Last Friday (always Friday), GM CEO Rick Wagoner announced that The General will curtail production of its GMT-900 based SUV’s. Rabid Rick tried to minimize the damage by asserting that GM was going to halt “some overtime” on SUV assembly lines and introduce “other products” into the production mix— as if to say demand for GM’s gas guzzlers was still hot, just not sizzling, and besides, we can make some other stuff instead.
Yeah right. At the end of July, in an industry where a 60-day supply is an acceptable maximum, GM dealers were stuffed to the gills with Tahoes (82 days), Yukons (89 days) and Chevrolet Suburbans (75 days). Although the figures are not far off last year's, these are GM's "new" trucks. August is going to be a bitch.
Meanwhile, Rabid Rick proclaimed that GM's share of the full-size SUV market has “boomed.” According to Wagoner, GM now “owns” 50 to 75 percent of various segments within the SUV genre— which is a bit like saying you’ve scored the best cabins on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. The executive’s statement was a remarkable piece of spin, but it pales in comparison to GM’s creative accounting. Lest we forget, Rabid Rick ascended to his throne as GM Chief Financial Officer. Here’s a bit of what he’s learned…
Yesterday, The General’s GMAC finance unit signed a three-year, $10b funding facility with a Citigroup subsidiary. Four billion dollars of the money falls into a brand new category for GMAC: “unrated notes”. Unrated notes are papers representing loans that are so far outside traditional credit parameters that the vast majority oif insitutional investors are literally prohibited from buying them.
In other words, GM’s “Zero Percent for Deadbeats” summer blowout left GMAC with billions of dollars of risky loans. No surprise then that GM's finance arm reported that the unrated notes are backed by assets “not typically securitized by GMAC.” OK, here's the "creative" part…
Because the risk is so high, there's a gap between the money GMAC lent its less-than-perfect customers and the amount of money Citigroup paid for the loans. As part of the deal, GM has agreed to cover the shortfall (i.e. securitize the assets). It’s all a bit confusing (by design), but here’s the bottom line: GMAC carries little or no risk for the bad loans. GM buries a “charge” in its sales costs to cover the money paid to GMAC for the dicey loans.
The shell game maintains the illusion of higher average transaction prices, hides huge discounts/rebates and moves vehicles off the lot. Given that GM generates about $28b in North American sales per quarter, $4b in bad debt equals about 15% of sales (assuming 100% financing). Since most of this paper was written in 60 days, as much as 40% of GM's recent sales surge may be directly attributable to bad loans. Put that in your quarterly report and smoke it.
Just like last year’s “Fire Sale for All” program, the “Zero Percent for Deadbeats” program will eventually bite GM in the ass. Can you imagine what these vehicles will be worth when (not if) they’re repossessed? At the risk of sounding, um, deadbeatist, people with sub-basement level credit scores tend to smoke, spill beer, puke, rip up interiors, ding ‘em good and never fix a thing. And speaking of repairs…
In the second financial quarter, GM downgraded its warranty expenses per vehicle to $325 (compared to $523 for the same quarter in ’05). GM’s improving reliability record is admirable, but it doesn’t justify that kind of drop. The revised figure added $433 million (the equivalent of $0.67 a share) to GM’s second quarter “profits.” Clearly, GM is ducking and diving, window dressing its earnings to mask the company’s true performance, or lack thereof.
The truth is things are not going well at RenCen. While GM has finalized its new credit line of $4.5b (on onerous terms), the company still withdrew an additional $2b from its VEBA on July thirty-first to cover health care reimbursement. GM’s continual need to tap into the VEBA account suggests a cash shortage.
Now that the GMAC sale has been postponed until next year, the need for operating funds could well become critical. While the risk of a GM default may not be imminent, a strike at bankrupt auto parts maker Delphi would be the tipping point. In the event of a work stoppage, GM’s credit line would be reduced by a billion dollars.
Industry watchers still say it’ll never happen. Meanwhile, negotiations at Delphi are stalled and the most recent final deadline arrives in two days. If Delphi goes down, GM goes down. If it doesn’t, the company's descent into bankruptcy will merely be postponed.

This Chinese market is all fine and good except for a couple of flys in the soup. GMs Chinese operations (as other non-Chinese companies) is only a 50/50 joint venture (in GMs case, with Shanghai aka SAIC, which also has a 50/50 JV with Volkswagen, and bought rights to the Rover designs before Rover imploded, also SAIC owns a portion of "GMDaewoo" and 49% of Ssangyong in South Korea). So, how "dedicated" is SAIC towards the GM JV? They are planning on building cars in COMPETITION with GM and VW for EXPORT soon. The other "catch" is that if GM thinks the 50% owned JV in China is going to carry the rest of their worldwide automotive operations when North American operations is sinking, sinking, sinking - they had better go back to Econ 101. Ain'tgonnahappen dot com. In case everyone's forgotten, the People's Republic of China is a communist state run by a few, and they can change anything on a whim. Like nationalize auto companies, or prevent profits from leaving from JVs, or raise interest rates (they just did that) to slow down the economy. Whatever. The GM guys and the rest of the western JV part-owners had better figure out that they can't simply control everything down at the Mason lodge any more. As in, the tiller isn't in their hands. So, they can join the rest of us, who've never had a tiller in our hands, controlling billions of dollars and millions of lives.
The China market in aggregate is still tiny, and is seeing even higher levels of competition. VW is the established player, and there was a boom in local manufacturing. Add to this FDI in factories (Buick, Toyota - Corolla and Camry are both now built in-country in China), and you come up with... a massive case of oversupply. The Chinese auto market, despite growing dramatically, is still growing slower than production capability - prepare for a winnowing ahead.

I admit that I am an exercise addict–seven days a week without fail. That’s my good side! However I’m also a confirmed sugar-holic and am always on the alert for ways to beat my sugar cravings. I love good food and eat out at least four nights every week. So what makes me unable to resist the high calorie menu entries determined to blow my daily calorie count? According to a research study I saw it’s not the gorgeous pictures or the lusciously erotic descriptions of that salted caramel indulgence. Are you ready for this? It’s your waiter! And not because he’s trying to inflate your check.
Nope, according to a study published in the journal Environment and Behavior in Dec 2015, the research found a link between your waiter’s body mass index and how much you’ll order. Researchers observed “497 interactions between diners and servers in 60 different restaurants for the study. They found that diners ordered more menu items when served by a server with a high BMI—specifically, they were four times as likely to order dessert, and they ordered 17 percent more alcoholic drinks.”
“No one goes to a restaurant to start a diet. As a result, we are tremendously susceptible to cues that give us a license to order and eat what we want,” lead researcher Tim Doering said in a press release from the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, which funded the study. “A fun, happy, heavy waiter, might lead a diner to say ‘What the heck’ and to cut loose a little.”
Now you know to request unhappy, non-smiling, obnoxiously skinny waiters, if you want to survive your meal without binging on dessert. But you also should know that eating foods prepared away from home on a frequent basis has been linked to obesity, higher body fat and a higher BMI—and women who eat food prepared away from home more than five times a week were found to consume an extra 290 calories a day on average.
BTW, even reading the above study I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate mousse cake I ordered last night with the salted caramel topping oozing over the plate. And yes, my waiter was a riot–fun, happy and delighted when I told him about the study….
Okay, sign up my newsletter and I’ll give a $10 dollar gift card to the person who ordered the most outrageous dessert. And do tell us if your waiter was fun, happy and heavy…


The Saanich Police Department released photos Friday in an effort to locate camera owners.
On May 22, police shared photos from cameras recovered during a search warrant execution in the 900-block of Cloverdale Avenue on May 7, said Const. Markus Anastasiades, public information officer for the Saanich Police Department.
The search led to the seizure of various stolen items including power tools, weapons and motorcycles and police have been working to locate the owners and return the items.
Recognize either of these photos?— Saanich Police (@SaanichPolice) May 22, 2020
We recovered two cameras that we would like to return to their rightful owners. Call us at 250-475-4321.
File 20-6047.#Saanich #foundcameras #yyj pic.twitter.com/zNKGic6sas
The cameras were among the stolen items but police were unable to locate the owners using serial numbers as it seems they were never reported missing or stolen, Anastasiades said.
Saanich police now hope to find the owners by sharing select photos on social media. One photo shows a small dog and three people with their faces cropped out, the photo from the other camera shows a person hiking in a park wearing a blue raincoat, backpack and jeans.
Police aren’t sharing the brands of the recovered cameras as anyone who calls to claim them will be asked to identify the colour and brand, Anastasiades explained.
These are the second and third cameras that police have tried to reunite with owners this month. On May 14, Saanich police shared a selfie photo from another recovered camera on social media but so far have not heard from anyone claiming to own the camera or know the person in the photo, Anastasiades said.
Valuables are often located by officers during ongoing duty or delivered to police by good Samaritans, he explained.
“We try our best to return everything we can,” but unclaimed items eventually go to auction, Anastasiades said.
When it comes to valuables like bikes and cameras, he recommends recording serial numbers in case the items go missing.
Anyone who recognizes the photos or the people in the photos is asked to call the Saanich Police Department non-emergency line at 250-475-4321.

One of the beautiful aspects of fall hosting is the opportunity we have to really simplify the menu–by serving the best fall soups. The right soup can be filling, flavorful, and such a simple main course to deliver. Although it’s currently 94° here in southern California, the fall and winter seasons bring about an almost-immediate urge in me to make weekly soups. And these four are some of the best fall soups I’ve come across.
Being a southerner, I personally prefer comforting, creamy and hearty concoctions. I recently won 3rd place at a chili cook-off with the chunky chili recipe above and have had this simple crockpot broccoli cheese soup in my dinner rotation for years. The tomato basil bisque is a newfound love of mine (used for a fall picnic here) and the above zuppa toscana recipe is a copycat of one of my favorite menu items at Olive Garden.
I’m a firm believer in collecting “the very best” recipes–or at least your very favorite variations of a certain food. I’ve tried countless tomato bisque recipes until I found the one above and knew I didn’t need to look any further. I’ve yet to discover a potato soup recipe that comes remotely close to my favorite version at La Madeleine and simply can’t let myself settle. May I suggest that you don’t be shy to ask for a recipe of something you loved and start to build your “very best cookbook”, compiled with all the best recipes that you love.

I recently tiled a bathroom. I reinstalled the original toliet and have a leak in the tank I can't seem to get rid of. Very slow drip down the threads of the tank bolts. I replaced the old bolts and washers etc, but no luck. The tank and mounting holes appear to be in good shape.
Any tips on this? thanks

Sanrio, a Japanese company specialized in creating cute characters. Beginning in 1963, Sanrio sells and licenses products branded with these characters and has created over 400 figures, with the most successful and best known being Hello Kitty.
Hello Kitty was born on November 1st in the suburbs of London, her real name is Kitty White. Her height is five golden apples, and her weight is three golden apples. She can bake delicious cookies and has a heart of gold. Her favorite is homemade apple pie. Kitty likes to collect small and cute things, and her favorite subjects at school are English, music, and art. Kitty lives with her parents Mary and George, and her twin sister Mimmy.
Now…what would happen if we put Hello Kitty and the Kayjus together? That’s the idea that has occurred to the always restless Funko creatives. Kaiju is a Japanese word meaning “strange creature”, but it is generally translated into English as “monster. If we put both worlds together, we get the popular white kitten disguised from the most famous monsters of Japanese mythology.

Book Title: The Girls in the Garden
Author: Lisa Jewell
Genres: Mystery, Women’s Fiction, Contemporary
Date Read: 05/30/16
Pub Date: 06/07/16
Imagine that you live on a picturesque communal garden square, an oasis in urban London where your children run free, in and out of other people’s houses. You’ve known your neighbors for years and you trust them. Implicitly. You think your children are safe. But are they really?
On a midsummer night, as a festive neighborhood party is taking place, preteen Pip discovers her thirteen-year-old sister Grace lying unconscious and bloody in a hidden corner of a lush rose garden. What really happened to her? And who is responsible?
Dark secrets, a devastating mystery, and the games both children and adults play all swirl together in this gripping novel, packed with utterly believable characters and page-turning suspense.
COVER LOVE! The first thing that drew me to this book on NetGalley was the cover. That mixed with the concept of living in a somewhat communal neighborhood sold me. I’ll be honest, I’ve always dreamed of what it would be like to raise my baby girls in a simpler time; one where “it took a village” and everyone’s door was always open to visitors. I think our generation has lost something important in the fact that we are so incredibly isolated as families now; not borrowing sugar from our neighbors and having another families kids over for the night so that their parents could have a night off. This book did a fantastic job of solidifying that vision for me while also bringing to light all the things that can go wrong when you are too close to your neighbors.
This particular story is told from multiple POVs. We open with a somewhat gruesome scene where a 13 year old girl is found unconscious and clothing askew. We then go back in time to fill in the events that brought us here, mainly from Pip (sister to Grace who was found unconscious), Adele (mother of friends of Pip and Grace’s who also like in the Garden), and Clare (mother to Pip and Grace). While there is the underlying mystery of what happened to Grace, there are also a few more minor side stories thrown in, one involving the absence of Clare’s husband.
While this wasn’t a heart pounding thriller, it did manage to keep my attention nicely once everything was set up. I loved the childlike drawings thrown in by Pip in the letters to her father. My favorite character was Adele; she was such a strong character and I found her sense of humor refreshing and a little lighter air when the mood was getting too somber. I also really enjoyed Gordon’s character (I know he was despicable and unlikable but he always made me laugh!); my favorite scene in the book was when he was singing:
“Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart, you’re shaking my confidence daily,” giving a showgirl kick at the doorway and wiggling his large bottom just once before disappearing.
Overall, it wasn’t what I was expecting but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be reading more from Lisa Jewell!
* I’d like to thank NetGalley and Lisa Jewell for my copy in exchange for an honest and fair review. This did not influence my opinions and all thoughts are my own.

Whilst Jonah Hill may primarily be known as a comedic actor, however that’s not going to stop him from flexing his dramatic chops behind the camera. Mid90s has been written and directed by the star of 21 Jump Street as he pushes his career forward with his first directorial debut.
Showing the story of a young boy who is growing up in LA in the 90s, the film stars relative newcomer Sunny Suljic as well as Katherine Waterston and Lucas Hedges. The trailer shows what he goes through on a day to day basis as he wants to be treated as a grown up, rather than a child. Something I think we can all relate to, even though of you who haven’t quite grown up just yet (me).
Coming from the critically acclaimed independent company A24, the studio has had success with previous releases including Lady Bird, A Ghost Story, The Florida Project, The Lobster and American Honey. This is the first time Jonah has teamed up with the studio but not the first film he’s written. Previously his work includes TV series Allen Gregory, as well as film 21 and 22 Jump Street as well as Sausage Party. Looks like this is going to be very different to any of those. The film is set for release in October this year
Keep. It. Reel.

Chocolate Factory, creative, creative thoughts, Dubllin Zine Fair, frenzy Friday, Fridays, writing
Busy, busy, busy is what came to mind every time I’ve looked at my calendar this week and even though it is Friday I still have a few busy days ahead of me. But when I look at my to-do list I have to admit I am pleased with all the crossed off items.
And since the weather has been beautiful in Dublin these last few days I can only hope it will last a little while longer, allowing my frenzy Friday to be bathed in sun as I hop into the car and drive to an appointment. After all if you can’t enjoy the sun in a park or on the beach, driving with loud music and sunshine is a good substitute.
The only downside to my bee-like week is that my writing has stalled -a few moments here and there just aren’t enough to really get going. But hopefully Sunday will give me a few hours of creative buzz, frenzy typing deeply desired. And if I lack inspiration I am sure the “Dublin Zine Fair” tomorrow in the Chocolate Factory will provide a few ideas and some motivation – after all seeing what innovative minds have created always helps your own mind find some of its own original thoughts.


It’s no new news that the art world remains a man’s world for the most part, but that the situation’s getting better. Cindy Sherman’s major retrospective exhibition Cindy Sherman, which closes its run at the MOMA on June 11th (and which I wrote about here), is a clear sign that museums are finally coming around to the idea of featuring female artists on the same scale as they’ve always featured male artists. But even a woman as officially canonized as Sherman cannot command the same auction prices as men. Her Untitled #96 (from 1981, shown above) went for nearly $4 million USD, which is nothing to scoff at, but isn’t even one fifth of what Jeff Koons was able to get for his Balloon Flower. As a recent article in The Economist showed all too clearly, art collectors are spending bigger than ever before on post-World War II artists, but just not on post-World War II female artists. Why are art collectors still shortchanging women artists?
Museums haven’t always been as gender equal as they are today, not that all museums are gender equal. The Guerrilla Girls, the gender-conscious conscience of the art world, pointed out in a 1989 poster that only 5% of the artists in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art were women, while 85% of the nudes were of female anatomy. When they did a “recount” in a 2007 poster, the number of female nudes went down slightly to 83%, but, amazingly, the percentage of women collected went down, too, to an embarrassing 3%. The Met, like all good encyclopedic museums, collects the history of art, so their collection will naturally reflect the misogyny of that history, although a greater effort to correct the oversights of the past with today’s hindsight would be greatly appreciated. Fortunately, The New Museum, founded in 1977 by Marcia Tucker (after her dismissal from The Whitney Museum of American Art), not only promotes the best in contemporary art, but goes above and beyond the call of duty in featuring female artists. As I write, The New Museum hosts (as LeBron James would say) not one, not two, not three, not four, but five exhibitions of women artists. As times have changed and museums with contemporary collections have kept pace, things have gotten better and should continue in that direction.
But when the art market seemed to lose its mind this past May in a frenzy of irrational exuberance, collectors screamed for Munch to the tune of $119.9 million USD, but made nary a peep for women artists. Granted, Edvard Munch is pre-WWII and The Scream is “the modern Mona” in many ways, but when so much cash is being thrown into the market, why is it still so much of a man’s man’s world? As The Economist article points out, when Christie’s sold $388 million USD of post-war and contemporary art in one night, women artists were outnumbered by men at a factor of 5-to-1 (which is actually a good number at such sales) and sales of their work accounted for less than 5% of the total, record amount. A picture by Yves Klein of two naked women drew a price double that of all the works by women combined. “Indeed,” the author of the article adds, “depictions of women often command the highest prices, whereas works by them do not.” With all due respect to Yves Klein, he’s no Cindy Sherman—except when it comes to monetary recognition.
It’s troubling that the same problem regarding female artists versus female nudes that the Guerrila Girls have documented at the Met exists in auction houses for more recent artwork and artists. “Attitudes are changing generationally,” offers Amy Cappellazzo, chairperson for post-war and contemporary art development at Christie’s, in the article. “It wasn’t long ago that it was hard to be taken seriously as a woman artist. There will be some remedial catch up before women artists have parity on prices.” Perhaps it is a generational problem, a case of old money continuing the old boy network of spending for art by men. The gender gap, however, is cavernous. Presently, Mark Rothko’s Orange, Red, Yellow holds the post-WWII record at $86.9 million USD, while the $10.7 million paid for Louise Bourgeois’ Spider remains the most paid for any work by any woman ever.
Bourgeois may be the most important sculptor—male or female—of the last half century. Did she break double digit millions solely because of that? I’d like to think so, but I think a few other factors were in play. Bourgeois died less than a year before the record sale—the inevitable “death” bump. Confessional, dramatic art sells, as proven by Rothko. Finally, and maybe most importantly, Bourgeois’ Spider is big and bold—a giant arachnid with creepy maternal overtones. Big and bold sells, usually because big and bold means manly. Do women artists need to make manly art to find equality in museums and auction houses? Maybe this inequality is a generational thing, but how many generations will it take?

The nation’s hate-filled immigration debate has just claimed another casualty, said Juan Gonzalez in the New York Daily News. New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer recently set off an uproar by announcing that his state would permit illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. His reasoning was sound: With an estimated 1 million undocumented people in New York state, it’s clear that many of them are already driving without licenses or insurance, and bringing them into the system would make the roads safer and enable more immigrants to hold down regular jobs. Eight states already issue driver’s licenses to the undocumented. But when the anti-immigrant crowd created a predictable backlash, said The New York Times in an editorial, Spitzer caved. He said that illegals would instead be offered a separate but unequal license that would not be valid as a form of identification. Come, now. Who would register for a license that makes you a target for any official who wants to start a purge of illegals?
You mean any official who wants to enforce the law? said Diana West in The Washington Times. The issue is simple: If a person is living here illegally, government policy should be geared toward deporting them, not making their stay more comfortable. Before he had to backpedal, Spitzer insisted he was only being practical, since the illegal immigrants are already here. But we are a nation of laws. When ‘practical’ is a euphemism for ‘lawless,’ chaos is sure to follow. And just think of the national-security implications, said James Staudenraus in the Albany Times Union. Driver’s licenses function as America’s de facto national ID card. They are used to board airplanes, rent cars, open bank accounts, and gain entry to government buildings—all of which terrorists know all too well. It’s hard to imagine a policy change that could inflict more harm.
But for a moment, consider the immigration problem from the states’ perspective, said Lawrence Levy in Newsday. Like other state and local leaders around the country, Spitzer is facing a dilemma caused by the total failure of federal immigration policy. There are 12 million illegals in our midst, and Congress is completely stalemated about how to deal with them. That forces the states to improvise. Even if you understandably can’t countenance the idea of undocumented immigrants being allowed to drive, they are driving. With licenses, at least they must prove they know the rules of the road and have insurance. The get-tough crowd won this round, but I don’t feel any safer. Do you?

A police officer has been assaulted whilst patrolling a landfill site on an off-road motorbike.


16 September 2011: In the late afternoon, six highly-modified World War II-era fighters were competing in a preliminary heat for the Unlimited Division championship of the National Championship Air Races, being held at the Reno-Stead Airport (RST), about 12 miles (19 kilometers) northwest of the central business district of the city of Reno, Nevada. The field elevation is 5,050 feet above Sea Level (1,539 meters). The races were being flown over an 8.4-mile (13.5 kilometers) ovate course, marked by ten pylons. All turns were made to the left.
The competitors for Heat 2A were three North American Aviation P-51D Mustangs, a Goodyear F2G-1 Corsair, a Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat, and two Hawker Sea Furies.
The Galloping Ghost, race number 177, was flown by its owner, James Kent Leeward. On lap number three, Leeward was 4.5 seconds behind the second-place P-51, Voodoo, and 8.8 seconds behind the heat leader, Strega, also a radically-modified Mustang. The airplane was at approximately 445 knots (512 miles per hour, or 824 kilometers per hour) as it rounded Pylon 8 in a steep left bank.
At 16:24:28.9 Pacific Daylight Time, The Galloping Ghost‘s angle of bank rapidly increased from 73° to 93° in just 0.83 seconds. (The NTSB referred to this as a “left-roll upset.”) (Wake vortices from the leading air racers may have been a factor in this left-roll upset. Investigators found that they could not exclude the possibility.) The air racer, corrected by its pilot’s aileron input, rolled back to the right, but then violently pitched up. The airplane essentially flew itself into an inside loop, then crashed into the ground directly in front of a seating area.
The Galloping Ghost was totally destroyed. Jimmy Leeward and 11 spectators were killed, with at at least 69 others injured.
The Galloping Ghost had been built in 1944 as a P-51D-15-NA Mustang, serial number 44-15651, by North American Aviation, Inc., at its Inglewood, California factory. Following World War II, the very low-time fighter was sold off as surplus equipment.
Registered NX79111 and carrying the race number 77, it was flown by Bruce Raymond in the 1946 Thompson Trophy Race, finishing in fourth place. In 1947, Steve Beville flew The Galloping Ghost in the Kendall Trophy Race, finishing in first place with an average speed of 384.602 miles per hour (618.957 kilometers per hour). He then finished in fourth place in the Thompson race. For the 1948 National Air Races, Bruce Raymond was back in the cockpit of number 77. He finished in fourth place in the SOHIO Trophy Race, first in the Tinnerman Trophy Race, and second in the Thompson. In 1949, Beville again flew 77 in the SOHIO and Thompson Trophy Races, finishing fourth in both.
The airplane was later raced as Miss Candace and Jeannie.
On 18 September 1970, N79111 crash landed near the Reno-Stead Airport following an engine failure during a race. The P-51 was substantially damaged.
Jimmy Leeward purchased the fighter in July 1983. After racing it for years, the airplane was placed in storage. Then, beginning in 2007, the airplane underwent a series of radical modifications. Some of these were similar to those made to other Unlimited Division racing planes, however, there was no evidence of engineering before, or flight testing, following these mods.
The most obvious modifications were made to the profile of the P-51D’s fuselage. The standard windshield and bubble canopy were removed and replaced by a much smaller unit. This was smoothly faired into a raised dorsal “razorback” which carried aft from the cockpit to the vertical fin. The lower fuselage, with its Meredith Effect radiator scoop and cooling ducts, was completely removed and a new fuselage belly constructed.
The standard Mustang cooling system was replaced by a “boil off” system in the aft fuselage. Rather than radiators which remove heat from the engine coolant by the passage of air, heat exchangers were immersed in a solution of water and methanol. A 150 gallon supply was in a tank in the left wing.
The Mustang’s wings had been shortened from the standard span of 37 feet, 0 inches (11.278 meters) to 28 feet, 10 inches (8.788 meters). The ailerons were each shortened from about 7 feet (2.1 meters) to 3 feet (0.9 meters). The horizontal stabilizer span was shortened from 14 feet, 10-5/32 inches (4.525 meters) to 12 feet, 1 inch (3.683 meters), and its angle of incidence increased from +0.5° to +0.91°. The vertical fin was offset to the right of the airplane’s longitudinal axis, instead of to the left, as built by the factory. The ailerons were not properly adjusted, which required the pilot to use constant pressure to the right on the control stick to keep the wings level.
On the standard Mustang, both elevators are equipped with adjustable trim tabs on their trailing edges, which the pilot uses to adjust the flight controls’ neutral positions. On The Galloping Ghost, the right elevator trim tab had been deactivated, placing increased load on the left trim tab. The elevators and rudder used weighted counterbalances. These, too, had been modified. The total weight for both elevator counterweights had been raised to 53.5 pounds (24.3 kilograms), nearly four times the maximum allowable weight of 13.75 pounds (6.24 kilograms). Similarly, the rudder counterbalance weight was increased to 25 pounds (11.3 kilograms). The maximum allowable weight was 16.6 pounds (7.5 kilograms).
According to its maintenance records, at the time of the accident, N79111 had flown a total of 1,453.6 hours. Its Packard V-1650-9A Merlin V-12 engine had been overhauled to military specifications at 1,428.9 airframe hours. The four-bladed Hamilton Standard 24D50 propeller had just 24.7 hours since new. The modified airplane had an empty weight of 6,474 pounds (2,936.6 kilograms). Accident investigators estimated its weight at the time of the upset as 7,760 pounds (3,202.4 kilograms).
Photographs taken during the first lap showed significant diagonal wrinkles in the fuselage of The Galloping Ghost, just behind the right wing, which were not present before the race started. A photograph taken during the third lap showed similar wrinkles on the left side of the fuselage. It is apparent that the modifications to the Mustang’s fuselage had significantly weakened its structure.
The left and right elevator trim tabs are attached to their hinges by three screws, each. These are secured by locknuts. NTSB investigators found that two of these screws had broken due to overload during the flight. (One screw was found to have had a pre-existing fatigue fracture.) All of the screws were loose in their locknuts and could easily be turned by hand. All six locknuts were worn beyond limits and were incapable of maintaining torque.
The loose trim tab attachment allowed the trim tabs to flutter because of the aerodynamic loads of very high speed flight. This flutter produced loads beyond the strength of the trim system. These loads caused the linkage to the left tab to break. Without the linkage, flutter increased the movement of the tab beyond its limit and the hinge broke. The left tab moved beyond its normal limit, and caused the the linkage to bend and then fracture. With the left tab uncontrolled, the flutter was transmitted to the right elevator tab which had been fixed in place with a steel rod. The vibrations caused its fixed link assembly to fracture.
The loss of the downward force which the left trim tab applied to its elevator caused the elevator to move upward. This caused the airplane to violently pitch up. Investigators calculated that Leeward would have been subjected to an acceleration of 17.3 Gs, far beyond human tolerance. He was immediately incapacitated.
With its pilot unconscious and the airplane traveling at such high speed, it went completely out of control. It flew inverted into a “helical” pattern and then, with the Merlin engine still at wide-open throttle, crashed into the ground at a very steep angle.
The National Transportation Safety Board reported:
3. PROBABLE CAUSE
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the reduced stiffness of the elevator trim tab system that allowed aerodynamic flutter to occur at racing speeds. The reduced stiffness was a result of deteriorated locknut inserts that allowed the trim tab attachment screws to become loose and to initiate fatigue cracking in one screw sometime before the accident flight. Aerodynamic flutter of the trim tabs resulted in a failure of the left trim tab link assembly, elevator movement, high flight loads, and a loss of control. Contributing to the accident were the undocumented and untested major modifications to the airplane and the pilot’s operation of the airplane in the unique air racing environment without adequate flight testing.

Eric Holder to Resign
Posted September 25, 2014
Attorney General Holder will announce his resignation today from his position with the Department of Justice. This is a crucial moment for the country as the Senate will get an opportunity to confirm President Obama's nomination.
Although the timing of his resignation is very interesting, Republicans must take control of the Senate to have more of an influence in the confirmation process. This will allow the country to finally turn the Department of "In" Justice into the Department of Justice again.

Lamborghini reveals Huracan Evo RWD Spyder drop-top
You can't fault Lamborghini's flair for exuberance. Barely a week after re-opening its factory doors in Sant'Agata, Bolognese, after a month-and-a-half shutdown, it's gone and launched the Huracan Evo RWD Spyder virtually.
The drop-top version of Lambo's most attainable Huracan has all the key stats in place too, with the same figures of 610PS/560 Nm as the RWD Coupe from its 5.2-litre V10 and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The RWD Spyder's 0-100kmph timing of 3.5 seconds is just 0.2 seconds slower than its hard-top counterpart. It even boasts the same downforce, without needing any additional aero. Of course, the key differentiator being absolutely nothing separating the occupants from the V10 wail upon request. The fabric roof folds away in a mere 17 seconds, and can be operated at speeds up to 50kmph, while the rear windscreen behind the seats can also be lowered to up the volume. At the same time, the removable windshields on either side are said to reduce wind noise to help the driver and passenger hold a conversation, presumably about how loud the engine can get.
Made of thermoplastics, aluminium and carbon fibre, the Spyder's 1,509kg dry weight makes it 120 kilos heavier than the RWD Coupe, thanks to roof mechanism and the additional bracing it requires to offer the same levels of rigidity. The convertible will still go on to a top speed of 324kmph, with a weight distribution of 40/60 front to rear.
But the hallmark of the rear-wheel drive Huracan Evo has been its heightened sense of involvement in comparison to the all-wheel drive models. That attribute only stands to be improved greatly in the RWD Spyder. Both the RWD models can be differentiated from the all-wheel drive models by the vertical fins in the redesigned front splitter. The RWD Spyder goes further and gets a new rear diffuser incorporated into its gloss-black rear bumper, apart from the twin buttresses over the engine.
As standard, the RWD Spyder comes with steel brakes and passive dampers, that can be upgraded to carbon ceramic discs and electromagnetic dampers. This apart from the option to go up from 19-inch wheels as standard, to 20s. The Huracan Evo RWD Spyder has been launched internationally at prices starting from $2,29,000 (or about Rs 1.73 crore directly converted), making it about the same price as an optioned-out RWD Coupe.

UW Women Beat New Mexico, BYU Wins Tournament
Sept. 22, 2006
SEATTLE - Junior forward Katy Dowling's 77th-minute goal lifted the Washington women to a 1-0 victory over New Mexico, Friday in the final game of the Pac-10/Mountain West Challenge at Husky Soccer Field.
Washington (5-5) placed second in the tournament. The 23rd-ranked Brigham Young women (7-1-1) tied Washington State 1-1 to secure the tournament title. New Mexico (5-4) finished third in the standings by virtue of a 1-0 win Thursday over fourth-place WSU (5-3-2).
BYU midfielder Katie Larkin was voted the tournament's Offensive Most Valuable Player while UW's Katie Hall (Woodinville, Wash./Woodinville) received the Defensive MVP award.
The Huskies were held scoreless in the tournament before Dowling netted a six-yard shot from right of the goal mouth. Sophomore Jenna Robison (Livermore, Calif.) initiated the scoring play with a pass to sophomore Melissa Beal (Portland, Ore.) who spun and flicked a short pass to Dowling (Laguna Beach, Calif.) for the game-winner at 76:30.
'Tonight it was one of those things where we got some chances and we stuck one. It was great,' exclaimed Coach Lesle Gallimore whose Huskies lost 1-0, Thursday to BYU despite an 18-11 shooting advantage.
Senior goalkeeper Kelsey Rasmussen (Gig Harbor, Wash./Bellarmine Prep) preserved UW's victory with seven saves, including a stop on a point-blank, 85th-minute blast by Krista Peterson.
Shannon Adragna registered two saves for the Lobos who out shot UW 15-11.
In Friday's first game, Brigham Young got a goal with 2:29 left in regulation to tie Washington State 1-1.
WSU scored late in the first half on a goal by Katie Fellows. She placed a 17-yard shot from the right side of the box into the far left corner at 41:14. Anna Miller and Carly Dobratz were credited with assists on the score.
BYU equalized at 87:31 when Angela Fajardo collected a long pass from Kelsea Kakadelas and capped a 25-yard breakaway with a 10-yard shot past goalkeeper Amber Wittmers. The teams then played two scoreless overtimes, settling for a tie.
Wittmers collected four saves for WSU, which was out shot 18-10. BYU goalkeeper Erika Woodbury also made four saves.
The Huskies resume action next weekend, visiting defending national champion Portland on Friday, Sept. 29. Kick-off is 7 p.m. at Merlo Field.

Title: Death’s Detective (The Rostikov Legacy, The Ivanov Diamond, Myrrolen’s Ghost Circus, and Ghostspeaker)
Author/Publisher: Charlotte E. English
Price: $12.99 / free
Konrad Savast is the Malykant. To the people of Ekamet, he is a wealthy socialite; something of a hermit, but harmless enough. In truth, he is the secret servant of The Malykt, the God of Death and the Dead. When a soul is sent to The Malykt before its proper time — through violence or coercion — Konrad answers the call to seek justice outside the bounds of mortal law ….
I first discovered The Malykant Mysteries several years ago, and immediately fell in love with the characters and the world. Konrad is a complex and compelling character. The reason he came The Malykt are tragic, but he is an honorable and compassionate man; he does what he does because he believes in justice for the dead. He is aided in his endeavor by two spirit serpents (Eetapi and Ootapi, who tend towards snark) and by The Order of the Malykt, a secret society of magic-users and ghostspeakers.
He is also, quite unexpectedly, aided by the apothecary Nanda. Why she insists on inserting herself into his investigations becomes apparent over the course of the series, but I won’t spoil that here. I will say, however, that the polytheistic cosmology created by English for the series plays a key role.
And it is a rich cosmology. In addition to The Malykt (death), there is also The Shandrigal (sort of a Goddess of Life), trickster and dream spirits, and a variety of ghostly entities. All appear at some point in the series, and play a critical part in Konrad’s investigations and quest for justice.
To date, there are twelve books in the series, all available in both print and digital format. Even better, for those looking to take a chance on a new series, the first book is permanently free and the first digital collection is temporarily free. Pick one up. You won’t be disappointed.
Highly recommended to fans of The Girl With Ghost Eyes by MH Boroson, the Ellie Jordan Ghost Trapper series by JL Bryan, and the Obsidian and Blood series by Aliette de Bodard.

This was a prospective study carried out over a period of six months from March 2018 to August 2018 on Brain computed tomographic findings of 100 hypertensive patients presenting with clinical features of haemorrhagic stroke.
Images were acquired using Prime Acquillion Toshiba Japan 2012 160 slice CT scanner.
ABC formula for CT volume estimation was used.
Binary logistic regression model was used to predict 30 days mortality.Thirty eight patients had small haematoma of < 30mls, while 12 patients had medium size haematoma between 30 to 60mls and 50 patients out of hundred had large size haematoma of > 60mls.
Patients with small volume haematoma were predicted to have sixty times chance of survival than those with moderate and large volume haematoma (OR = 0.6 at 95% CI: 0.72 - 4.75; p = 0.62).
Haematoma sites was found not be statistically significant predictor of mortality (OR = 1.5 at 95% CI: 0.87 – 1.52; p = 0.32).

The study of religions has focused on defining the term. However, lexical definitions are frequently inaccurate. For example, Buddhism is usually considered a religion, while capitalism is not. Nevertheless, some people have the mistaken belief that by pointing to the referents of these lexical definitions they can correct them.
Religion can play a key role in societal change. Several decades ago, religious beliefs were crucial in the Southern civil rights movement. In addition to meeting the basic needs of the black population, black churches served as important places for recruiting new members and fundraising.
The history of religion is a branch of history that deals with written records of religious feelings and thoughts. It starts with the invention of writing around 5,220 years ago. The prehistory of religion, on the other hand, is the study of religious beliefs and feelings before written records existed.
Some forms of religion have links to nature, such as the Hindu and Buddhist religions. However, some forms of nature religion are pernicious or not ecologically beneficial.
Ideology in religion can take many forms, including political, economic, and social. It can also refer to the concepts of good and evil that shape our world. For example, political ideology often includes ideas about equality. It can also be an expression of religious convictions, such as the teachings of Islam. Ideology is a powerful tool in political and social debate. It can be used as a tool to achieve goals and change the world for better or worse.
Symbolic interactionist approach
A Symbolic interactionist approach to religion focuses on the social aspects of religion. It studies how people interact with each other in everyday life and how they express their religious values in their social interactions. The approach also considers the importance of selection.
Theories of religion
Theories of religion are theoretical explorations of religions, with the goal of analyzing the content and nature of religion. Specifically, they seek to understand the origins of religious beliefs, and seek to defend them against irreligious explanations. Regardless of their underlying assumptions, these theories have one important thing in common: they all explain religion through the lens of human beings.

Israeli occupation troops kidnapped on Sunday morning three Palestinian schoolgirls from Betunia Primary School, west of Ramallah, in central West Bank.
After placing them in their armoured vehicle, the Israeli soldiers threatened to attack any person who approaches them after for help.
The Israeli occupation soldiers took the three girls, who are in sixth and seventh grades, to an unknown place.
In front of their schoolmates, the three girls were screaming and crying, while the Israeli occupation soldiers also terrified other school girls by threatening to kidnap them or shoot them if they did not leave the area.
Palestinian ministry of education denounced the kidnapping and described it as Israeli violation and military harassment against the schoolchildren.
Eyewitnesses said the three school girls were released after a while and they went home safely.
Israeli aggression against Palestinian children are deemed flagrant violations of the international law and human rights conventions.
Kidnapping school children is a violation to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially Article 16, which states that “no child shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his or her honour and reputation.”
The aforementioned convention also stipulates that “the child has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.”

Virginia Group Funneled Secret Money to Fight Tax Measure
A nonprofit group that gave $11 million to fight California ballot initiatives to raise taxes and curb union political influence said it got the money from another organization whose donors remain anonymous.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission had sued to force Americans for Responsible Leadership to disclose its donors. As part of a settlement, the regulator said it was informed that the money came from Americans for Job Security in Alexandria, Virginia, through the Center to Protect Patient Rights in Phoenix. The Virginia group said in a tax filing that its cash comes from members it doesn’t identify.
The donation is part of a wave of secret money flowing through nonprofits to hide the identities of the true sources in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, federal records indicate. Under California law, refusing to disclose the donors amounted to “campaign money laundering,” the regulator said today in a statement.
“After late-night discussions, Americans for Responsible Leadership and the FPPC reached a settlement,” Matt Ross, a spokesman for the Phoenix-based leadership group, said in a statement. “The commission has received specific documents it requested.”
The commission asked a court to force the leadership group to name the ultimate source of the financing after the organization refused to comply with an audit to show whether it violated laws aimed at letting voters know who is bankrolling ballot-measure campaigns. California’s Supreme Court yesterday upheld a lower court order requiring the disclosure.
Both Americans for Job Security and the Center to Protect Patient Rights have spent tens of millions of dollars to boost Republican candidates and causes, using money from anonymous donors, U.S. Internal Revenue Service filings show.
California Attorney General Kamala Harris said “further investigation” of the group’s disclosure is warranted.
“It won’t be over on Election Day,” Harris said by phone from Ohio. The FPPC could ask her office to get involved, she said, adding, “We are not at that point.”
The case is California Fair Political Practices Commission v. Americans for Responsible Leadership, 34-2012-00131550, California Superior Court, Sacramento County (Sacramento).

text: I want to add a library reference to my project using eclipse. I have added JAR libraries with no problem before. (Simply download and add to /lib then adjust properties). However the library I want to add now does not have a JAR available. The library is here: android-color-picker - Color picker dialog library for Android users to select custom colors - Google Project Hosting The instructions from Android development to reference a library: ---------- To add a reference to a library project, follow these steps: In the Package Explorer, right-click the dependent project and select Properties. In the Properties window, select the "Android" properties group at left and locate the Library properties at right. Click Add to open the Project Selection dialog. From the list of available library projects, select a project and click OK. When the dialog closes, click Apply in the Properties window. Click OK to close the Properties window. --------- When I try step 3, there is nothing there. Of course not, i never added anything. So how do I add this so it will show up and I can reference it? I can't imagine that I need to browse the source code available and copy each class / resource. Its not a lot of work, but it seems that it would completely defeat the purpose of referencing the library. Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance. Edit: Ok, I found the solution. I had to install Subclipse in Eclipse SDK, and link to the svn. Then I just followed the instructions on the link above to apply it to my project. If anyone has questions on how I did that let me know.
