I've become very fond of LL Bean. I didn't used to buy from them, my inability to afford them being one of the reasons. But with Lands' End losing quality, and LL Bean retaining it, the choice is simple.
And now that the FedEx delivery man knows where to hide the packages, all is good.

Plantsman, LL Bean is truly great.
I ordered something from them one summer, to have shipped to my sister's address in center city philadelphia. After a couple of weeks I called to see what had happened, and they told me that it had been delivered, only no one had been home and so they LEFT THE PACKAGE ON THE FRONT STEP. Meaning, of course, that it was Gone within minutes!
However, they take that into consideration, and sent another package out right away, no cost to me.

Members of the feared religious police in Saudi Arabia are for the first time due to stand trial over the deaths in their custody of two men.
The deaths, which occurred a few weeks ago, sparked a media uproar, leading to calls for a re-evaluation of the force's role and responsibilities.
One of the dead men had been accused of socialising with an unrelated woman, the other of alleged alcohol peddling.
Both died shortly after being detained by the religious police.

Music fans are coping with further showers as the Glastonbury Festival enters its second full day.
Parts of the site have been turned into a quagmire by heavy rain, but long dry spells have provided respite.
The conditions have not deterred most of the 177,500 festival-goers, who can expect to see a line-up headed by The Killers, The Kooks and Paul Weller.
The weather has been less severe than the last festival two years ago, when flash floods hit the Somerset site.

"Lets here it for the rainbow tour" -Tony Blair has arrived at the Vatican for his last meeting with the Pope as prime minister.
There has been speculation Mr Blair, an Anglican, is planning to convert to the same denomination as wife Cherie and their children after leaving office.
He has said the issue of his conversion to Catholicism is "unresolved" ahead of his private audience.
Asked by the Times magazine if he would be converting, he said: "Things aren't always as resolved as they might be."
He said he was "nervous" discussing the issue before Saturday's Rome meeting.

In Londinium, one rarely runs across dogshit, although I've seen three or four unattended piles in the last couple of days.

They do, I suppose, but it's regarded as merely a suggestion.
In Londinium, one rarely runs across dogshit, although I've seen three or four unattended piles in the last couple of days.
But they also have people who actually sweep the sidewalks, so that may have something to do with the lack of dogshit.

I became Catholic at age 32, but in my RCIA class there were people in their 40s and 50s.
I would imagine, since Blair is married to a Catholic, it's always been in the back of his mind (because Catholicism sort of wafts into your being if you're around one a lot), but he couldn't do it if he wanted to remain politically viable.

Iraq's prime minister has said he supports the policy of arming and training Sunni Arab tribesmen to fight against al-Qaeda.
In an interview with Newsweek magazine last week Nuri al-Maliki said that arming Sunnis risked creating new militias, but on Friday he said he had been misunderstood.
"The government is not afraid of armed tribes, it is afraid of the chaos and ill-discipline that may lead to the presence of new militias," he said in a statement.
and like I either remarked or allufed to yesterday
Tony is converting as the beginning step into a process to sheath him into a fold ... it could be Opus Dei or it could be another outstanding bunch of swell fellas but mark my words ... his conversion to this faith has nothing to do with spirituality or faith as we know it ... it is a pre-requisite for a process of admittance into a cabal ... plain and simple

I never believed that Tony Blair was a complete idiot like Bush is, but rather an intelligent person who was, for whatever reason, seriously deluding himself about some very important things.
If he is even slightly coming out of this delusion, he'd have the need for a lot of atonement, and the Catholic church is just the place.
Maybe someday Colin Powell will announce his conversion.

Here's an ad I got from NYC Housing.
The first development, Washington Mews, is located at 89 Murray Street in the Tribeca section of Manhattan and is funded through HDC’s New Housing Opportunities Program (New HOP). Initial rents for the 44 apartments range from $2,064 per month for one bedroom apartments up to $2,857 for three-bedroom apartments. Units are reserved for households with an annual income ranging from $74,612 to $124,075. (Incomes vary within these bounds depending on apartment size and family size).
Over $2k a month is suppose to be "affordable housing".
People will knock down their dear old grandmas for these apartments.

H2OMan:
However, as Caro describes, after the 1960 election, Johnson began to understand that he was leaving the position of power he had loved. In January 1961, before he had formally resigned from the senate and been sworn in as vice president, Johnson began to come up with plans to maintain power in legislative branch, while serving in the executive branch. He describes LBJ as taking the stance "that the Constitution already assigned the Vice President functions in the Senate: to preside over it, and to vote in it in case of a tie ..."
Johnson attempted to keep an office for himself in Senate Office Building, and to have democrats recognize him as still being the de facto Majority Leader. Even Evans & Novak wrote of this as being an attempt to "breach the constitutional separation of powers by making the Vice President the presiding officer of all the Senate Democrats".
and is gorgeous.

Op...court_0622.html David Rivkin Jr. and Lee A. Casey, who served in the Justice Department, say Democrats are trying to "resuscitate a rapidly expiring 'scandal,' in an opinion article in Friday's Los Angeles Times. The pair focus explicitly on the firing of at least eight US attorneys for what critics say were purely partisan motives.
"Chosen for political reasons, they can legally and morally be fired for political reasons: insufficient loyalty, a perceived failure to pursue administration priorities or that someone with better political contacts has come along," the pair write.
The framing of this as "firing for purely partisan motives" is irritating.
The "frame" that includes the significance of what was done is to say "firing to obstruct the process of justice against Republicans and start baseless prosecution of Democrats that they would not pursue against Republicans"

If you're gonna eat oatmeal, skip instant -- it doesn't have enough fiber to be worth it, the Breakfast Squares, either.

The last time I remember this topic up, Moon linked to a site that showed that the fiber content in instant is actually very close to that of regular.
Thus began the Great Eschaton Oatmeal War of 2007...

His point as usual is a good one: Why the fuck do we need middlemen (aka, the insurance companies) in our healthcare business?
Rudy - Free Woody
Because it's making a handful of people very wealthy, and they are making big campaign contributions to the people who make our laws.
Which is why we will never have a universal single-payer system unless we have campaign finance reform first.

I've been hearing a lot of stuff like that lately. Gentrification?
NTodd
It's insane. Most of those buildings were originally built as tenements for poor immigrants. Our first apartment upon marriage in 1972 was $38./month. The exact same place is going for more like $1500./month. The bathtub is still in the kitchen and they are still tenements with roaches in the walls and rats in the basement. And that's rent so there is no equity accruing.

The Galapagos Islands may have to be listed as "in danger" because tourism is threatening the environment that helped shape Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the chairman of Unesco's World Heritage Committee warned yesterday.
The committee begins a weeklong meeting in Christchurch, New Zealand, today and will consider an application from the territory's ruler, Ecuador, to further protect the Galapagos, said Tumu te Heuheu. The islands have "a very fragile ecosystem and there is a need to manage those activities" he said. The Tower of London is another world heritage site being considered for the endangered list.

I do.
It has far superior fiber and nutrient. A sprout is a baby plant and just as a baby's amniotic fluid, the sprout contains the seedling's provisions for growth, sprouts have a huge ratio of nutrient compared to the unsprouted grain.
And so much yummier!
I need to refresh my memory - studied this stuff 30 years ago.

sprouted wheat is at that point "malted"
the starch in the kernel is converted by enzymes the wheat seed contains to make the starch into sugar for the new plant to eat until is can photo-synthesize it's own food by the new leaves.

The New Jersey STate Fair is this weekend.
Went to it once, when I was a very young kid.
The celebrity guest was J. Fred Muggs, the chimpanzee sidekick of Dave Garroway on the original Today Show.
In those days, they had a real chimp, not Willard Scott.
Anyway -- I stood online for like half an hour to have my picture taken with him, and when I finally got there the little simian bastard tried to bite me.
