A recent analysis of public opinion data by the organization Public Religion Research reveals some interesting findings about Americans' attitudes toward same-sex marriage: |
- Younger Americans are much more supportive of marriage equality. Almost half (46%) of young adults (age 18-34) support same-sex marriage, compared to less than a third (29%) of all Americans. |
- Attitudes on same-sex marriage are shifting significantly among young people. In 2006, the American Values Survey found that 37% of young adults (18-34) supported same-sex marriage. Two years later, almost half (46%) of young adults now support same-sex marriage, an increase of 9 points. |
- Support for same-sex marriage is signifi |

Movie: Chronicle. A week ago, I hadn’t even heard of this movie. Then I caught the trailer and needed to see it IMMEDIATELY. (Behold the power of a great trailer.) I wasn’t disappointed. It’s kind of CARRIE meets AMERICAN PIE. Okay, maybe not, but it is a great superhero/supervillain origin story. There are a few gaps ... |

Happy Childhood Summers |
I'm having problems with my camera's SD card (don't ask...), so I thought that instead of posts from this Sunday's flea+farmers' market in NYC, I'd regale you with some pics from my childhood. How I loved those summers, in Cape Cod/Maine with my god father's family or in the Alps with my 3 cousins! It was all about pic... |
To celebrate last week's 7 days of great surfing (4 of which in a row at my favorite spot), I'm going to post some pics of my beautiful self riding my favorite board: a T&C 8.6 shaped by Keola Rapoza. |
This board has quite a story. Long time readers of this blog may have read parts of it, but I'm going to tell the whole thing again. |
I bought it 3 or 4 years ago from Ed Angulo at a garage sale (Ed's garage sales are legendary) for 200 bucks. |
As soon as I caught my first wave, I knew it was a magic board. Super light, thin enough for me to duck dive it (even though it took me some practice to learn how to do that), it turned really nice and loved cut backs. |
It had a problem though: not strong enough on the deck. The pressure of my feet was doing canyons along the stringer... not positive. Bac |
The job cuts were mostly spread across the U.S., with a handful overseas, said spokesman Andrew Weinstein. The majority of the layoffs were in the sales, editorial and customer service departments, he said. |
LivingSocial is moving much of its customer service from its Washington, D.C., headquarters to Tuscon, so some job openings will be available in that area. Sales and editorial, however, have simply been "streamlined." |
"We've gone through two years of hypergrowth, from roughly 450 employees to 4,500," Weinstein said. "The space has gone through such growth that we needed to catch our breath." |
The company's president of international operations, Eric Eichmann, is also stepping down, in a move that Weinstein said wasn't related to Thursday's layoffs. |
The job cuts "will free up additional r |
Appearing on 'Kudlow Report,' Bozell Hits ABC News for 'October Surprise'-like Attack on Gingrich |
At the very least the timing of ABC News's interview with Gingrich ex-wife Marianne Gingrich is suspect. At the very worst, it is completely inappropriate if it failed to be newsworthy and respectful, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told CNBC's Larry Kudlow on his January 19 Kudlow Report. |
"In some respects, aren't they obliged to get it out as fast as they can," Kudlow countered, adding that maybe by putting it out the night of the debate, "it actually lessens the impact and significance of the interview." [see video embedded below page break; see related Bozell statement here] |
The Media Research Center founder answered that it's possible ABC's ploy could engender a "backlash to this in fa |

If clubs can't go Saturday, series would resume on Sunday |
NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez took dozens of ground balls at third base late on Saturday afternoon, looking every bit like someone who expected to be playing in a few hours. He may have been cold, but he was dry. |
The field at Yankee Stadium remained uncovered three hours before the scheduled 7:57 p.m. ET first pitch of Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on FOX, as a threatening forecast appeared to be holding off and increasing hopes that there would be baseball in the Bronx. |
"When I looked this morning, it looked grim," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Now I look at it and I think we've got a pretty decent shot of playing. I know the percentages went down. It seems like it might be |

I kept seeing subway art all over the internet & thought why can't I make fall inspired subway art to compliment my fall mantel? |
With that idea, I got to work. Now don't look at this as any great technical tutorial. That is so not my bag. I am no pro here, I just did what I did & came out with a fairly decent project, following this excellent tutorial at lilblueboo. |
I know the pic is horrible, but I bought a canvas at Michaels, some clear adhesive contact paper & spray adhesive at Target & spray paint from Lowes. |
I typed words into the computer, played around with different fonts & sizes, and printed them out. (I am so not computer savvy.) |
I sent my hubby to have a copy made of my printout in an 18 X 24 size. (the same size as my canvas.) |
I then cut up each word, coated it with spray adhes |
Try these makeup tips for glasses to look as sexy and sophisticated as Rashida Jones. |

We've always thought those movie makeovers where the geeky girl loses her glasses and instantly becomes "hot" were super lame. Specs can be smokin', as stars like Rashida Jones (our current beauty crush) prove. With this in mind, we asked Nick Barose, the celebrity makeup artist behind Rashida's look here, for his tips... |

Use a soft shade to play up the eyes. |
Dark frames like Rashida's already add definition, Barose says, "so a heavier liner or smoky dark eyes will look 'too much.'" Instead, choose a medium-toned neutral. "We went with soft lined eyes with a bronze tone to give jus |
We have started our unit on the Human Body Systems (nervous, endocrine, excretory, integumentary, and lymphatic). The students know the function of each system, organ, and gland. |
The students will now build a model of each system. They are divided into system groups (student choice) where they will brainstorm, build, and present their system to the class. |
Please ask your child what group they are working in and what their responsibility is in that group. I’m looking forward to seeing their creations!!! |
Santiago has run off, taking the lantern with him, leaving Nan in the darkness of the third floor hall, just outside the Sunset Room. |
The heavy, ragged breathing and shuffling footsteps have gone quiet. All that remains is silence, and the placeless echo of Nan's vision of the TERRA COTTA COURTYARD. |

This is going to be asked in a second anyway, so check your pockets/inventory |

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - The St. Louis Cardinals made their first |
major move of the offseason on Wednesday, agreeing to terms with veteran |
relief pitcher Randy Choate on a three-year contract. |
CBSSports.com reported that the deal is worth $7.5 million. |
Choate has been one of the game's more effective lefty specialists during his |
12-year big league career, having held left-handed hitters to a .201 average |
over that time. The 37-year-old limited southpaws to a mere .158 average over |
a combined 80 games last season, which he split between the Miami Marlins and |
Los Angeles Dodgers. |
The journeyman hurler also posted a 3.03 earned run average in 2012 and owns |
an 11-11 record with a 4.02 ERA over 476 lifetime appearances, all of which |
have come in relief. |
Choate broke into the majors with |
View Full Version : Anyone here have dead pixels on their T615? |
03-28-2003, 09:49 PM |
And if yes, how old was your T615? Thanks. |
03-28-2003, 11:44 PM |
Nope, no one I know has dead pixels on their T-series, how many do you have? Dead pixels are really bothersome. I had some on my first sony digital camera. |
03-30-2003, 02:22 PM |
I had one on the top left corner of my T615, I just took it back to circuit city and they gave me a new one. It really bothered me, that stinkin little black dot.... |
03-30-2003, 05:16 PM |
LoL I have 3 on my NR. I'm going to call Sony support to tell them to replace it under warranty... |
Anyway, I think your case is a rarity since dead pixels usually end up in higher-end models. |

State Route 86 between Lake Placid and Wilmington reopened this morning. |
However, a couple of major roads were still closed, according to state police in Ray Brook. State Route 73 is still closed from Keene Valley to the Adirondack Northway's Exit 30. People can get between the town of Keene and the Northway by driving state Route 9N to Elizabethtown and getting on the interstate at Exit 31... |
Also, state Route 9N between AuSable Forks and Jay was still closed as of this morning. The bridge on state Route 73 near the ski jumps, outside of Lake Placid, is open to one lane of traffic at a time. |
