Appreciation for tomato soup.
In countless households across the United States where both husband and wife work outside the home, it's not uncommon for the spouse arriving home first to begin preparing the next meal.
In the Henley household that pattern would be utilized except for one thing – I can't cook.
Oh, on a summer afternoon when it's anywhere from 75 to 105 degrees outside, I can frequently be found inhaling smoke from a barbecue grill. But while I have no trouble searing pork, beef or chicken, when it comes to preparing a roast, I'm a boat without an oar.
My sons, Caleb and Jacob, have learned to cook, in part thanks to their mother and my wife, Nancy. There's also a certain necessity that comes with being out on their own which factored into their learning to cook.
In my case, I went from living at home, where my dear mother cooked for me, to being married, where my dear wife cooks for me. Consequently the urgency for me to learn to cook just wasn't there as it was for my sons after they left the "nest."
I don't remember my mother ever trying to teach me to cook. She likely figured that me being the hard-headed individual that I was (am), trying to teach me to cook would be equivalent to throwing a rock against a brick wall – it wouldn't stick.
As for Nancy, during our 37 years of marriage she has managed to coax me into the kitchen long enough to teach me to make knot rolls from scratch. To her credit, she has taught me to flip pancakes, although I don't ever remember making the batter. I've also flown solo when it came to frying hamburgers and eggs. I also know not to fry eggs and hamburgers in the same skillet, at the same time, in case you're wondering.
But as I mentioned, when it comes to baking a roast, preparing a meatloaf or frying a chicken, I'm lost.
That (at a loss) is exactly where I was last Tuesday night when I beat my bride home from work. I knew with her getting home after 6 o'clock from her new job, she would be worn out both physically and emotionally.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a nice meal on the table when she got home?" I asked myself.
And while the obvious answer was "yes," I was stuck on what to fix.
I thought about going with my specialty – peanut butter and jelly. But that didn't seem like quite enough on a cold winter night.
I wandered down to the basement where the canned goods are stashed. As I dug and dug, it quickly became apparent that Nancy had happened upon a sale of tomato soup. Tomato soup!
As I read the directions – one can of soup, one can of water – I concluded that even a kitchen clod like me couldn't butcher fixing tomato soup. Of course I was wrong.
While I handled steps 1 and 2 – opening the cans and adding the water – I hadn't given a lot of thought to how hot to set the burner. After adjusting the burner to what I thought was a relatively low setting, I went off to set the table and surf the web for a few minutes. When I returned a few minutes later to stir the soup, I could feel something on the bottom of the corning ware dish.
"Oh snap, I've burned the soup," I moaned.
Fortunately, I caught my mistake before the soup or dish was ruined, or the Fire Department had to be summoned.
When Nancy got home I was rewarded with a hero's hug.
"I was hoping for something like this," she said. "I didn't want to have to think about what to fix for supper."
I'm sure in the weeks ahead, there will be plenty of evenings when I beat my bride home from work. The only question now is: How soon will she get sick of tomato soup?

Some times "thank you" seems so inadequate.
Two words to try and express appreciation for a community that has held you up, supported you and still prays for you, hurts with you, hopes with you, cries with you and laughs with you.
We have needed every bit of that these past two weeks.
Seems unreal to think it has been two weeks today since life turned slightly upside down.
I'll be honest - at times we hid out.
That first weekend we took the girls and went to Chicago for some time as a family to absorb what had happened, hold tight to each other, and just be together. It was so needed and so good for us.
There were a lot of different dynamics going on that first week - yes we were still grieving and in shock and just absorbing a different reality than we had planned on - but there was just alot going on within our story that I think kept the grief from hitting as deep beyond what we were able to share.
A week ago some large details happened that changed this dramatically and we were left with a pretty clear reality and the grief hit hard.
Grief is a funny thing. Some days you feel you can manage it. Some days it is there but in the distance. Parts of days feel normal. Then other times it comes from nowhere and takes over. Tuesday and Wednesday it managed me and laid me on my back. Literally. We grieved deeply what was lost and the way that lost seems tangible in almost every area of our lives.
I know we need those days. You can't move forward without those days where you feel and cry over all the loss holds. It affects our hearts, our home's make up, our calendar, our budget, our prayers, our pictures, our relationships.
I am not trying to be over dramatic . . .it is just the reality of where we sit. Family gatherings look different than you expect, friends you are looking forward to walking similar journeys alongside still walk those as you absorb a different one, budgets look different, and time off plans suddenly have to be discussed as Ethiopia becomes a possibility that needs planning and foresight for even as you grieve and want to pause. There is the reality of stepping back into an unknown wait.
And yet through it all, friends have prayed and reached out. I was trying to explain it to one friend that not only do you love and absorb the connections that remind you others are hurting alongside you and praying for you in the hard . . .but you love and crave the reminders that they are thinking of you in the day to day and moving forward with you.
I remember one friend texting me a totally random text about a tv show and that was all it was about. And I laughed and gave thanks for it . . .because it kept me moving forward and reminded me that grief is not all that defines us right now. That text may have meant as much as any other that day.
Last week was hard but in different ways as we stepped into the reality that we are now in.
There was good moments in there - almost normal moments - but again hard ones as snow days drifted away, activities resumed and our new reality became more real. Workout classes you go back to where people ask if we are home with the baby with hope and excitement in their eyes. Neighbors that come out of their homes and ask for any news and update. Preschool teachers exclaim "you're back already!" and excitedly wait for the update.
God has been so gracious through those encounters and I know He will continue to be as they are going to continue for the next little while. I feel as badly, if not worse, for the people asking as they feel for me because I know how awful they feel for asking when they hear. I don't ever want them to feel badly for caring and hoping alongside us. That has meant so much. And as hard as that reality may be to revisit as we tell them we are walking a different journey, I can't begin to consider walking this journey alone.
This past weekend held alot of tender moments.
The crib had been moved to our bedroom. Thursday night I looked at Ryan and asked if we could move it over the weekend as my heart couldn't handle any longer having that be the first thing I looked at each time I stepped into our room.
So Saturday as Ryan took apart the crib to store in our basement, I finally unpacked baby boy's suitcase and emptied our dresser of the clothes we had collected. There were tears and there were prayers for redemption in this loss and for the faith to trust God for the beauty we know He has within it. And as only He could, He timed the most perfect expression of love of a friend right as I folded and packed and prayed and cried.
Saturday afternoon we got to have a super fun visitor in my 16 year old niece. My girls were so excited and it was so special to have her. She sweetly offered to babysit so Ryan and I could get out for a couple hours which ended up being a blessing for a whole different reason than she might have thought . . .
Ryan and I spent our time out making returns for baby boy of the items we decided not to keep and hadn't washed. A friend had offered to do those for me but the more I considered it, we needed to be the ones making those returns. To hand them to her felt like denying a reality that we needed to accept and almost harder. While it was tender, to be able to have Ryan with me and just handle each stop together felt healing. It was almost a slow acceptance and determination that we are still a family and are going to be ok. God was with us at every stop, even one particularly rough one, and when we returned home it felt good to step into a fun evening with family and making memories and enjoying time together.
Sunday we returned to church for the first time. I felt anxious but fairly calm until we sat in church and I sat down and the emotions came. Sitting there brought the grief again. . .as every part of us had been hoping the next time we went to church would be with a little bundle snuggled in our arms. Arms felt painfully empty that morning. But God.
One of the things that has been so clear and real to me this whole journey of the past two weeks is that we are not the only family walking hard. I don't mean that in a trivial way. I don't mean that in a melodramatic way. It is just a very real statement of what others are walking around us even as we grieve.
I can rattle off a dozen families I know personally and love that are walking their own deep journeys of grief and heartache and their own trampled dreams. . .many of them walking journeys that are harder and deeper.
We are not alone. We are not exceptional. We are not abandoned in it.
But it is a heartbreaking reality of a fallen and broken world we find ourselves in and I am so deeply grateful to know that Jesus sits with each of us in our hard, cries each tear alongside us, and promises to right all that is wrong at the end. In fact He promises to not only make it right, but more beautiful than we can imagine or desire even if it is on the other side of heaven.
Yesterday was a good day. In fact, I would dare to call it a great day in light of the past few. Laughter came easily to our home yesterday and I felt present with our girls in a way I haven't the past couple of weeks. It just felt like a whisper of hope in our hearts for our family and our future and I just felt at peace as I looked at our family, our girls and this season.
I felt the grace to look forward as opposed to back.
I was so thankful for that and just texted that praise to some friends at the end of the day. I don't expect there not to be hard days ahead, tears flow even today as I write, but I just feel the hope for what God has yet to write.
The truth is? That even as we grieve, we firmly believe the risk was worth all this.
We look back and would make every "yes" all over again.
We are choosing to believe this journey was more than just about our family. And yet we see bits of the fruit for our family too. Last night, as Ava said her prayers before bed, she thanked God that our baby brother was born healthy, prayed he would stay safe . . .and then prayed the sweetest prayer for birth mom by name as well.
Fruit. Deep. Real.
Our girls are learning some beautiful lessons about love, compassion, grief . . .and God's faithfulness in all of it. While it is hard for us to know they still hurt, too, over a baby brother that didn't come home, I am hoping they are also learning that God is big enough for all the voids in their hearts and that to love big is still worth the risk every time.
I am hoping that somewhere in our mess and our hurt, they are seeing that God's grace is there in the hard and sustains us and carries us and gives us hope even when we don't see the other side of this story yet.
At one part of the service on Sunday, they read from Ephesians 3 some very familiar verses:

When Lee, Katie and Faith started up the Summer Sampler Series, the blocks immediately spoke to me and made me think of my husband's best friend, Jesse. The two of them have been best buds since they were little kids, growing up in the same small town in Connecticut, and despite the many, many miles between them now, they're still quite close. Jesse comes to visit us at least once every year and has become my munchkin's favorite uncle. He's a special part of our family, and when I saw the geometric blocks in the Summer Sampler, they just said "Jesse" to me.
|Jesse's the one on the left, hamming it up with my husband at our wedding
I debated adding a border to the quilt, to give it some extra size, but ultimately decided against it. I was too excited about a geometric doodle style of quilting I'd come up with to go along with Jesse's love for all things geometric. I was nervous about trying something new, and in hindsight, I totally should've practiced on a practice quilt sandwich first, but I worried that I would lose my determination to do something different if I stopped to really think about it, so I jumped in and went for it.
I free-motioned groups of interconnected boxes, which remind me of little labyrinths or mazes, stitching down the length of the quilt. It was definitely more fun for me than straight-line quilting, but it also wasn't as precise as I like to be. In the end, I'm happy I did something different, but I definitely need more practice.
I'll be shipping this gift off real soon for the holidays...before I decide I can't part with it! I know Jesse will give this quilt a good home, and I hope it will remind him of us throughout the year.

DailyDirt: What Is This Thing Called Life?
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Astrophysicists have run some simulations that indicate that Earth-like planets without a moon might still harbor conditions suitable for life as we know it. Previously, astrobiologists assumed that ETs would need to live on a planet that had a moon like ours... but what do astrobiologists know, eh? [url]
- Other computer models suggest that life might exist on moons of gas giant planets. Simulations like these should probably include an enormous grain of salt, though... [url]
- The tardigrade, aka the water bear, is an interesting little creature and one of the few animals proven to be able to survive exposure to the vacuum of space. Tardigrades are called the "hardiest animal on earth" because they can exist for months in an anhydrobiotic state. [url]

Preview: Cantax K5D Full Frame! ;-)
Since Pentax have just told the world in the Photokina that they will not have a 135 Full Frame DSLR forever, I have opted not to wait them anymore (as they told us to do so, clearly). I have managed to build my own Full Frame K-mount DSLR model just within an hour, which can adopt many of my old excellent Pentax film glass. Here it is!
More to come! (Modifying procedures, things to note and cautions to take, detailed comments on system accuracies (so far so good!), sample photos with various Pentax lenses and etc.!)
P.S. My special thanks to Steven Lin, who has kindly offered me a helping hand and updated his already excellent blog article on the topic (in Traditional Chinese), for the sake of even more clear instructions on the modifications.

Rachel Thurston's Cool Calm Kitchen
Having just moved to Long Beach, California I was especially attracted to the kitchen of Rachel Thurston who also lives in Long Beach. The kitchen is everything you would expect from a beautiful house in Southern California.
The first thing that is so interesting about why Rachel's kitchen is so successful is that there isn't any one mind blowing item in there. Everything just works together without one single item really sticking out. The orange lights are as close as she gets to a "wow" item and that's exactly what I love.
The kitchen is cool and calm and exactly where I'd want to be on a Saturday afternoon whipping up snacks and planning dinner. The colors are relaxing and work so perfectly together. Rachel's kitchen will be in style for many years to come.

He's not great against the run. He's yet to play a full season in the NFL.
Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap has received criticism about what he can't do, but there's no question about what he can do. And that just so happens to be the main thing defenses are looking for in today's NFL.
Get to the quarterback.
That's why despite his shortcomings, Cincinnati signed the 6-foot-6, 280-pound pass-rushing menace to a six-year, $40 million extension on Monday. Dunlap was entering the final year of his rookie contract. Over his first three years in the league, Dunlap recorded 20 sacks. He had six last season, including a career-high 40 tackles, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, one interception he returned for a touchdown, six stuffs and three passes defended.
Dan Marino became the first quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards in a single season back in 1984, but the feat has been accomplished four times in the last two years (Drew Brees in 2011 and 2012, Tom Brady in 2011, Matthew Stafford in 2011) and another time in 2008 (Drew Brees).
The NFL has a pass-happy fever, and the only prescription is more pass-rushers. Cincinnati's management is well aware, and Dunlap is a key cog in one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. Dunlap, fellow end Michael Johnson (11.5 sacks) and tackles Geno Atkins (12.5 sacks) and Domata Peko helped the Bengals rank sixth in total defense (319.7 yards per game) and eighth in points allowed (20.0) last season.
Dunlap distinguishes himself from the unit by being a disruptor and playmaker. In the last two years, Dunlap has 100 quarterback pressures in 726 pass-rushes. Last season, he earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week after a Week 13 win over the Chargers that saw him record two sacks that both led to fumbles, a pass deflection, four more quarterback pressures and five tackles. In addition to his pick-six last year, he also had a fumble recovery for a score in 2011.
Despite the obvious potential the 24-year-old Dunlap has shown since being drafted in the second round in 2010, he has yet to be an every-down starter. While Dunlap sees the field in obvious pass situations, he's replaced by Robert Geathers on a regular basis when stopping the run becomes a priority.
That would be a problem if this was the NFL of 8-10 years ago. That's not the case anymore as a rotating defensive line has become as common as a stable of running backs.
Super Bowl XLII, when the Patriots' record-breaking aerial attack was thwarted by the Giants' rotating group of pass-rushers, showed the benefits of a deep, pass-rushing oriented line. And teams have accepted the fact that finding a defensive end that can pressure the quarterback and stop the run on every down, like a J.J. Watt, is a large proposition. The Falcons, for instance, knew that when they signed pass-rushing specialist Osi Umenyiora to a two-year, $8.5 million deal in late March. Being in the NFC South with the Saints and their gunslinger who's reached the aforementioned feat three times in the last five years, you don't have a choice.
The hope for the Bengals and many defenses these days is that a successful pass-rush will at least force a short, quick pass. In those instances, Dunlap and his exceptional speed for an end (4.71 in the 40-yard dash) is still a factor. He has the ability to chase down any ball-carrier in his vicinity, especially those that are forced to the sideline. Plus, he can blow up screens before they even develop and has the athleticism to bat down passes at the line. Thus, being an undersized end doesn't carry the same luggage of liability as it used to.
And Dunlap's first hefty payout is evidence of that.

The canonizations of Popes St. John XXIII and St. John Paul II mark not only the raising to the altars of arguably the two most beloved pontiffs of the 20th century but the opportunity to reflect on the remarkable writings of these two holy popes.
Both served during periods of great political, social and intellectual upheaval, and both called on the human family to embrace peace amidst the threat of nuclear annihilation. Above all, the two new saints were united by their abiding concern for the dignity of the human person in the modern world.
John was pope for less than five years, but he proved a prolific writer with nearly 150 apostolic constitutions and letters, mostly establishing new dioceses around the globe and preparing the details of the Second Vatican Council, as well as dozens of speeches and homilies. His most significant writings, however, were his eight encyclicals.
John's encyclicals, or major teaching documents, ranged from honoring St. John Vianney and Pope St. Leo the Great, to a reflection on the Rosary and the need for penance, especially in preparation for the council. Two encyclicals are remembered most, Mater et Magistra ("Mother and Teacher") in 1961 and Pacem in Terris ("Peace on Earth") in 1963.
In Mater et Magistra, John made his contribution to Catholic social thought and anticipated the work of the council, most so its Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes, in his call for the Church "to humanize and to Christianize this modern civilization of ours" (No. 256). John taught that the Church must be a voice for the poor and the defenseless and called on the world to work together for unity and the common good.
Similarly, Pacem in Terris, issued only a few months before his death from cancer, was addressed not only to the Catholic faithful but "all men of good will." It created quite a stir when it was released: a papal reflection on the Cold War, the struggle between the free world and the communist countries and the immense peril of nuclear war.
The pope declared in his first sentence: "Peace on earth, which all people of every era have most eagerly yearned for, can be firmly established and sustained only if the order laid down by God be dutifully observed" (No. 1).
John Paul II committed himself firmly to carrying forward the great concerns of John and the council for the dignity of the human person in a world of increasing complexity and interdependence.
In doing so, he proved the greatest papal writer of all time, with 14 encyclicals, 14 apostolic exhortations, 11 apostolic constitutions, 45 apostolic letters, hundreds of homilies and countless speeches, including 1,161 weekly general audiences.
He wrote in his first major document, the 1979 encyclical Redemptor Hominis ("The Redeemer of Man"), "the time that is approaching the end of the second millennium of the Christian era, shows itself a time of great progress, it is also seen as a time of threat in many forms for man. The Church must speak of this threat to all people of good will and must always carry on a dialogue with them about it" (No. 16).
He wrote about the oppressive system of communism and the problems of economic inequality. And then, after the fall of the communist system, he wrote of the crisis of the human person caused by secular materialism and relativism.
He authored several encyclicals on Catholic social thought such as Laborem Exercens ("On Human Work"), 1981; Sollicitudo Rei Socialis ("On Social Concerns"), 1988; and Centesimus Annus ("The Hundredth Year," on the anniversary of Leo XIII's famed encyclical Rerum Novarum), 1991, John Paul's meditation on the world after the fall of communism.
He said in a 1993 speech, "The de-Christianizing of society includes not only an increasing indifference to religion, a loss of faith, but also an obscuring of the moral sense." John Paul made recapturing an authentic moral sense one of the centerpieces of his program for the Church. This entailed the rejection of the culture of death in favor of the culture of life and a civilization of love. The two most profound expressions of his moral magisterium were the encyclicals Veritatis Splendor ("The Splendor of the Truth") in 1993 and Evangelium Vitae ("The Gospel of Life") in 1995.
Veritatis Splendor re-taught certain fundamental truths of the Church's moral teaching in response to what the pontiff called modern society's struggle with a "crisis of truth" that has the "most serious implications for the moral life of the faithful and for communion in the Church, as well as for a just and fraternal social life." The pope's solution was to proclaim "the splendor of the truth."
In Evangelium Vitae, the pope took up the cause of the "great multitude of weak and defenseless human beings," most so the unborn and sick and dying. The pontiff defends human dignity and responds to "scientifically and systematically programmed threats" against life.
John Paul's other writings touched on a host of issues, including his love for the Blessed Mother in the encyclical Redemptoris Mater ("Mother of the Redeemer") in 1987 and the Rosary in Rosarium Virginis Mariae ("The Rosary of the Virgin Mary") in 2002; Christian unity in Ut Unum Sint ("That All May Be One") in 1995; the dignity of women in his famed apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatem (1988) and his "Letter to Women" (1995); the meaning of Christian Suffering in Salvifici Doloris (1984); and promoting the sacramental life of the Church, most so the Eucharist in Ecclesia de Eucharistia ("Church of the Eucharist") in 2003, and penance in Misericordia Dei ("On Certain Aspects of the Celebration of the Sacrament of Penance") in 2002.
Both John and John Paul II also are remembered for their personal writings.
John's "Journal of a Soul," a diary of daily thoughts over the whole of his life, is ranked as a spiritual classic. John Paul wrote the international best seller "Crossing the Threshold of Hope" (1994), a series of reflections on God, prayer, religion and the New Evangelization that sold more than 1 million copies and was translated into dozens of languages.
The next years will provide further opportunity to study and to apply the prophetic teachings of these two new saints in new circumstances.
As Pope John wrote in the 1961 apostolic constitution, Humanae salutis:
"While humanity is at the threshold of a new age, immensely serious and broad tasks await the Church, as in the most tragic periods of her history. It is a question in fact of bringing the perennial life-giving energies of the Gospel to the modern world ..."

UPDATE: Man charged with attempted murder in Bremen
7:19 p.m.
A follow up to a story we broke earlier today:
According to a probable cause affidavit, Chase Tanner Anglemyer, 21, took a woman from a residence in Bremen, beat her with a screwdriver and took her to another residence. While at that residence, Anglemyer is alleged to have shaved the woman's head, wrapped the cord of the electric trimmer around her neck and choked her until she was no longer conscious. When police arrived, Anglemyer allegedly said "She's dead."
The victim was revived and taken to a South Bend hospital.
That story and much more in Friday's Pilot News.
The original story appears below:
BREMEN — Chase Anglemyer, 21, of Wakarusa, was arrested by Bremen Police officers Wednesday morning during a domestic fight.
Anglemyer is charged with attempted murder by intentional killing of another with a knife, battery by means of strangulation, kidnapping, and criminal confinement.
The fight happened in the 200 block of S. Washington St. around 10:30 a.m. Police report that the Anglemyer had taken another individual by force from the residence. An immediate search of the area was conducted with a K-9 unit.
At about 10:53 a.m. Bremen police responded to another domestic fight in progress in the 300 block of Woodies Lane. Upon arrival officers discovered Anglemyer and the victim from the earlier domestic violence situation. The victim was transported to the hospital with injuries and Anglemyer was taken into custody and booked in the Marshall County Jail.
Charges are pending from the Marshall County Prosecutor's Office.

Not sure what TT is trying to argue. DiPietro was a great young goalie, the kind who could turn away 40 shots a night and make spectacularly athletic saves. If he was healthy, he would have been worth every penny of his deal and he would be a steal at this point in his career. The lesson is that long term deals, even when the guy would still be young enough to play at the end of it, are bad ideas for the reasons that bit the Isles.
It has nothing to do with whether he was good enough to warrant that annual salary, because he was. He's now a cautionary tale of why 15 year deals, even for a young star, are stupid.

- Description
DetailsMount Katahdin- meaning "The Greatest Mountain," is the centerpiece of Baxter State Park and is Maine's tallest mountain. This horseshoe shaped mountain, with five separate peaks, is the northern terminus for the 2,180 mile long Appalachian Trail. This bottle is filled with our award winning maple syrup.
- Additional Information
Additional Information
Allergen Warning None Serving Size 4 Tablespoons- 200 calories per serving, 16 servings per container Shelf Life
6 months- 2 years- Must refrigerate after opening.
Maple Syrup should be stored in a cool dry place. Maple Syrup does not freeze, so long term storage is best in the freezer. Many of our customers purchase larger jugs of maple syrup and save money by pouring the syrup into smaller containers and placing them in the freezer until it is used.
Once open, Maple Syrup must be refrigerated. The longer the syrup is left on the counter or on the table during use, the shorter the shelf life will be. Maple Syrup spoils similar to the way milk does. Warm temperatures are not desirable.
If Maple Syrup starts to spoil and mold is present at the top of the container, it can be safely saved. Skim off any mold or foam that is present. Pour this syrup into a pot on the stove and bring back to the boiling point for a period of 10 minutes. Try not to boil it, just let it simmer as hot as possible. Pour back into a sterilized container and enjoy the Maple Syrup.
Maple Syrup may crystalize in the bottom of the jug or glass bottle. This happens even more quickly if the Maple Syrup is left in the refrigerator or on the counter for an extended period of time without the cover on. Liquid water evaporates from the container leaving excess sugar crystals that crystalize forming what looks like pieces of glass. Of course, they are nothing more than sugar crystals. Sometimes these can be "melted down" with a little hot water. Other times they are fun to just suck on, similar to a hard maple candy.
Never use Maple Syrup from a cracked or broken glass bottle. Glass shards may be present in the Maple Syrup.

The Hypocrisy Of Congress: As Big A Threat To The Internet As The UN They're Condemning
from the we-don't-regulate-the-internet,-except-when-we-do dept
It goes on to discuss other proposals to regulate parts of the internet, including CISPA and other online security laws. Of course, in each of these cases, the politicians in Congress will come out with a litany of reasons why it "makes sense" (or more accurately "we have to do something!") to pass these laws. But that pre-supposes that all those countries that Congress is now condemning for wanting more ability to spy on and control citizens don't have reasons to do so. Given the increasing evidence that the US government, via the NSA, is already spying on wide swaths of the population -- and Congress' apparent total lack of concern about this, it's incredibly hypocritical to pretend that the US government supports a free and open internet with privacy protections for citizens, when its own actions reveal something very, very different.
The fear that the ITU might be looking to exert greater control over cyberspace at the conference has led to a rare Kumbaya moment in U.S. tech politics. Everyone -- left, right, and center -- is rallying around the flag in opposition to potential UN regulation of the Internet. At a recent congressional hearing, one lawmaker after another lined up and took a turn engaging in the UN-bashing. From the tone of the hearing, and the language of the House resolution, we are being asked to believe that "the position of the United States Government has been and is to advocate for the flow of information free from government control."
If only it were true. The reality is that Congress increasingly has its paws all over the Internet. Lawmakers and regulators are busier than ever trying to expand the horizons of cyber-control across the board: copyright mandates, cybersecurity rules, privacy regulations, speech controls, and much more.
Earlier this year, Congress tried to meddle with the Internet's addressing system in order to blacklist sites that allegedly infringe copyrights -- a practice not unlike that employed by the Chinese to censor political speech. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) may have targeted pirates, but its collateral damage would have been the very "stable and secure" Internet Congress now wants "free from government control." A wave of furious protests online forced Congress to abandon the issue, at least for the moment.

|"Men of Northern Rhovanion" by Angelo Montanini
|General Information
|Rhovanion, Mirkwood, Vales of Anduin, Dale, Lake-town, Rohan
|Westron, Rohirric, Dalish
|Rohirrim (Eorl, Helm, Théoden, Éomer, Éowyn), Éothéod (Marhwini, Fram), Woodmen, Beornings (Beorn, Grimbeorn), Men of Dale (Girion, Bard, Brand), Lake-men (Master of Lake-town)
|Physical Description
|shorter than Númenórean
|Images of Northmen
The Northmen were Men that lived in the north of Rhovanion in Middle-earth, and were friendly to Gondor.
The Northmen who dwelt in Greenwood the Great and other parts of Rhovanion were friendly to the Dúnedain and were after the Dúnedain the most noble Men on Arda, counted as Middle Men by the Dúnedain, and believed to have been descended from the same group of Men as the Edain, the Atanatári. The only difference was that they didn't cross the Ered Luin into Beleriand and therefore didn't go to Númenor. The result of them not participating in the War against Morgoth was their considerably shorter lifespan if compared to the lifespan of the Dúnedain, whose lifespan was enhanced by the Valar after the War of Wrath.
The Men of Dale and Esgaroth were also counted under the Northmen, as were the woodsmen of Mirkwood. Most of Rhovanion had been depopulated after the wars of the Easterlings and the Great Plague.
[edit] History
[edit] Origins
The Northmen descended from the group of the Edain who left their kin to reach the West, being always at war with the Men of Darkness.[1] Somewhere in northern Rhûn, they had met the Dwarves.[2]
There they were divided in two folks, who would later become House of Bëor and House of Marach, to the north-east of the Sea of Rhûn where they dwelt in the woods. The ancestors of the Hadorians dwelt in the north-east of the Sea, in the woods that there came near to the shores. The ancestors of the Beorians had reached the feet of the high hills to the south-west. Because of that distance, they both developed a craft of boat-building but met seldom[3].
The ancestors of the Beorians had been mingling with Men of other kinds and their dialect of Taliska seemed to the rest to contain alien elements.[1]
The ancestors of the Beorians fled first and the ancestors of the Hadorians learned that only afterwards and followed on their trail through the Misty Mountains in the North (close to the dreadful Iron Mountains). Many sub-tribes of both peoples stayed behind, and when the shrinking teams (now led by Bëor and Marach) reached Beleriand, those who stayed behind occupied many parts of Eriador and northern Rhovanion[1]. These (known as Middle Men) appear to be akin to the House of Hador[4]
Not much is known about the forefathers of the Northmen during the Second Age other than that Rhovanion fell under the dominion of Sauron before being liberated by Gil-galad.
[edit] Third Age
The Kings of Gondor showed them great favor because of their Edainic ancestry. For a time many of them even became subjects of Gondor, as the realm extended beyond the river Anduin. They were given wide lands south of Greenwood the Great to serve as a buffer against the Easterlings around T.A. 1000[5]. They increased greatly during Gondor's golden age.[6] East of Greenwood the Great was the kingdom of Rhovanion, and this became the most important nation of the Northmen.
In the days of Narmacil I, the Easterlings resumed their attacs, and some Northmern joined them, either because of feuds, or because of greed for spoil, as Regent Minalcar found out. In the fourteenth century of the Third Age, Minalcar, now as King of Gondor ensured their loyalty by crushing the Easterlings in T.A. 1248 with the help of Prince Vidugavia, and took many Northmen as officers in the army of Gondor (although the high men of Gondor looked askance at them)[5][6]. He sent his son Valacar as an ambassador to Vidugavia, the so-called "King of Rhovanion". Valacar loved Rhovanion and the daughter of the King, Vidumavi. He married her. and she bore him a son whom she called Vinitharya in her mother tongue. In Gondor Vinitharya became known as King Eldacar and caused a civil war, the Kin-strife because of his mixed Dúnadan/Northmen blood in T.A. 1447.
Their existence was a bulwark of Gondor, keeping its northern and eastern frontiers from invasion. When they were weakened and at last destroyed, first with the Great Plague, which appeared there in the winter of T.A. 1635 and soon spread to Gondor. The Horsemen suffered since the Plague came with a cold winter and they had only low wooden houses and thronged stables, little skilled in the arts of healing and medicine. When the Plague passed more than half of the foil of Rhovanion had perished, and of their horses also. They were slow to recover, but they were undisturbed, since the people further east had been equally afflicted.[4]
When the invasions of the Wainriders began against Gondor, the Northmen suffered the first assaults. Their scattered remains were recruited by King Narmacil II who took a great army north into the plains south of Mirkwood. They were defeated in the Battle of the Plains (T.A. 1856) where Narmacil and Marhari were killed. The remnant of his army retreated over the Dagorlad into Ithilien. A few Northmen fled to Gondor, others over the Celduin and were merged with their kin, the folk of Dale under Erebor and others followed Marhwini to the Vales of Anduin and became the ancestors of the Éothéod. Most of the Northmen were reduced to servitude, and all their former lands were occupied by the Wainriders.[4]
In T.A. 1899 Marhwini prepared an outbreak against the Wainrider occupation. After helping Calimehtar in fighting them in Dagorlad, desperate poorly-armed outlaws came out of Mirkwood and roused the slaves. They burned many Wainriders dwellings, storehouses and fortified camps of wagons. Most of them perished in the attempt fighting the Wainriders' youths, women and old men. Marhwini retired to his land beside the Anduin, and the Northmen of his race never again returned to their former homes.[4] Afterwards they battled with the enemies alone since Gondor could not help them. Still they joined the forces of Gondor and many comprised the army of the Battle of Fornost (T.A. 1975)[5].
After the evil Kingdom of Angmar was defeated by Gondor and the remains of Arnor in T.A. 1977, these Northmen moved north and began to call themselves the Éothéod. They were skilled horsebreeders and horsemen. In T.A. 2510 they responded to a plea of help from the trapped Gondorian army at the Field of Celebrant. After they helped Gondor win this important victory they were rewarded the province of Calenardhon and became known as the Rohirrim.
The later centuries it is mentioned that the Northmen were allied with Erebor and with Dwarven weapons drove the enemies back to Rhûn. However they did not prevent the enemies to reach the gates of Erebor during the War of the Ring.[5]
In the Fourth Age, they obviously retained their alliance with the Reunited Kingdom.[5]

text: Is it legal to use a cover crop as a forage crop? September 21, 2012 05:48 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Source: University of Wisconsin Extension The drought of 2012 has caused havoc on crops during the summer and into the fall, prompting many growers to consider the harvesting cover crops such as rye or wheat or even buckwheat as an emergency forage crop. Some of this interest is even being driven by agencies that have lifted other restrictions, including recent assistance put in place by USDA NRCS to help establish cover crops including the allowance for grazing and harvesting in some situations and The USDA changing crop insurance rules for 2013. But Vince Davis, University of Wisconsin-Extension weed specialist at UW-Madison said there's quite an important distinction as to whether those cover crops are left in the field or harvested for forage, as well as what type of herbicide has been used on the crop. "A cover is a crop planted that is not harvested but only grown for environmental benefits and all of the crop residue stays in the field. As soon as the crop residue, or biomass, is removed from the field to be fed, it is then considered a forage crop," he noted. "Growers need to take note of the herbicide labels and their cover crops; and realize that these restrictions need to be followed," Davis said. "Herbicide labels that are used in our traditional corn and soybean systems all have restrictions on when crops can be planted following the use of those herbicides in those systems. Once that cover crop is harvested it's considered a forage crop and, therefore, restrictions on a label need to be followed." When a herbicide is registered for use, the herbicide registrant must prove to the Environmental Protection Agency – through extensive research – that there is no threat of harmful residues in succeeding crops if the product is used according to label. If a succeeding crop species is not specifically examined for residue safety, then the time lapse on the label is set to a time at which the herbicide has shown to dissipate in the soil to a point when it will not affect succeeding crops. This default time period is often 18 months to two years. Davis noted that some potential consequences of not following herbicide labels could be herbicide residues that come back into the food chain and into meat or milk products. He recommends that growers make certain they know what herbicides, and all pesticides, have been used in their corn and soybean systems and that they follow the label for rotational restrictions of those products before they harvest a succeeding crop for a forage. "Growers in conventional agriculture do already care very much about producing high quality and safe products in a sustainable manner," Davis said. "However, because of the drought conditions and the haste of trying to fix a situation with unconventional practices, growers need to be sure they continue to make informed decisions and not overlook herbicide regulations."

Jacque Vaughn spoke with the media after the Orlando Magic completed practice Wednesday afternoon at Amway Center.
Vaughn was asked to describe center Nik Vucevic's game.
"Nik is extremely skilled," Vaughn answered. "He can shoot from the perimeter. He's legitimately big. [He has] a good wingspan on him. He knows how to play the game and has a good touch around the rim. So he's a skilled big man."
Vaughn also discussed how he'll approach gameday shootarounds — whether he'll hold them in the morning or in the afternoon — and his plans for Thursday night's home exhibition opener against the Philadelphia 76ers.

When choosing fats, pick unsaturated fat over saturated fat. Here's how.
You don't need to eliminate all fat from your diet. In fact, some fats actually help promote good health. But it's wise to choose the healthier types of dietary fat and then enjoy them — in moderation.
There are numerous types of fat. Your body makes its own fat from taking in excess calories. Some fats are found in foods from plants and animals and are known as dietary fat. Dietary fat is a macronutrient that provides energy for your body.
Fat is essential to your health because it supports a number of your body's functions. Some vitamins, for instance, must have fat to dissolve so they can be used by your body.
But fat is high in calories. If you eat more calories than you need, you will gain weight. Excess weight is linked to poor health. In addition, some types of dietary fat are thought to play a role in cardiovascular disease.
Research about the possible harms and benefits of dietary fat is always evolving. And a growing body of research suggests that when it comes to dietary fat, you should focus on eating healthy fats and avoiding unhealthy fats.
There are two main types of potentially harmful dietary fat:
Most fats that have a high percentage of saturated fat or that contain trans fat are solid at room temperature. Because of this, they're typically referred to as solid fats. They include beef fat, pork fat, butter, shortening and stick margarine.
The types of potentially helpful dietary fat are mostly unsaturated:
Foods made up mostly of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature, such as olive oil, safflower oil, peanut oil and corn oil.
Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, tuna, trout, mackerel, sardines and herring. Plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseed (ground), oils (canola, flaxseed, soybean), and nuts and other seeds (walnuts, butternuts and sunflower).
Because some dietary fats are potentially helpful and others potentially harmful to your health, it pays to know which ones you're eating and whether you're meeting recommendations.
The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans offers the following recommendations about dietary fat intake:
Be aware that many foods contain different kinds of fat and varying levels of each type. For example, butter contains unsaturated fats, but a large percentage of the total fat is saturated fat. And canola oil has a high percentage of monounsaturated fat but also contains smaller amounts of polyunsaturated and saturated fat.
Focus on replacing foods high in saturated fat with foods that include monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats.
But a word of caution — don't go overboard even on healthy fats. All fats, including the healthy ones, are high in calories. So consume monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats instead of other types of fat, not in addition to them.
Here are some tips to help you make over the fat in your diet:
If watching fat content is a good strategy, is it even better to try to eliminate all fat from your diet? No.
First, your body needs some fat — the healthy fats — to function normally. If you try to avoid all fat, you risk getting insufficient amounts of fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids.
Also, in attempting to remove fat from your diet, you may wind up eating too many processed foods touted as low-fat or fat-free rather than healthier and naturally lower fat foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Instead of doing away with fat in your diet, enjoy healthy fats in moderation.

Coronavirus: where coronavirus is a concern.
Leptospirosis: include leptospirosis in the combination vaccine where leptospirosis is a concern, or if traveling to an area where it occurs.
Coronavirus: where coronavirus is a concern.
Lyme: where Lyme disease is a concern or if traveling to an area where it occurs.
Lyme: where Lyme disease is a concern or if traveling to an area where it occurs.
Rabies: Given by your local veterinarian (time interval between vaccinations may vary according to local law).
Recommendations vary depending on the age, breed, and health status of the dog, the potential of the dog to be exposed to the disease, the type of vaccine, whether the dog is used for breeding, and the geographical area where the dog lives or may visit.
*A combination vaccine, often called a 5-way vaccine, usually includes adenovirus cough and hepatitis, canine distemper, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. Some combination vaccines may also include leptospirosis (7-way vaccines) and/or coronavirus. The inclusion of either canine adenovirus-1 or adenovirus-2 in a vaccine will protect against both adenovirus cough and hepatitis; adenovirus-2 is highly preferred.
**Some puppies may need additional vaccinations against parvovirus after 15 weeks of age. Consult with your local veterinarian.
Bordetella and parainfluenza: For complete canine cough protection, we recommend Intra-Trac III ADT. For dogs that are shown, in field trials, or are boarded, we recommend vaccination every six to twelve months with Intra-Trac III ADT.

J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) is planning layoffs at its headquarters in Plano, Texas, according to reports Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
The expected layoffs were first reported by the New York Post, which said chief executive Ron Johnson plans a 10% cut of the 3,000 employees who work at the home office.
J.C. Penney already let go 600 workers in April and another 350 in July.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A J.C. Penney spokeswoman told Dow Jones Newswires that the company doesn't comment on rumors.
Johnson, a former executive at Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), took the helm at J.C. Penney in November 2011. He has led the company's move to implement a low-price strategy in lieu of sales and coupons. Sales subsequently fell $2.7 billion over the initial nine months of this fiscal year, as the company accrued $433 million in losses.
The stock is down more than 50% over the last 12 months.

We ended up getting natural colored (tan and white) gravel, rounded rocks, not the blue or green rocks. It'll be nice. Part of it was on clearance! The plants we got were all on clearance. We tried live plants once, that may be what's in that tank, I don't remember, but once they brought home snails. We had snails all over!
So we're starting with fakies for now.
See you on the other board!! (Are you CinderDee there too!?)

I think after Percy Kittens goes (yes he is still alive and kicking, crazy fish) I'm going to take a fishy hiatus! Picking up the poop of 30 dogs 4 times a day isn't nearly as troublesome/messy as cleaning out a tank/bowl.
Props to all of you who can deal with it. When I have enough money to hire a fish guy, I'll have a tank. But not until then!!

Next Episode of Mythbusters is
MythBusters is a science entertainment television program created by Peter Rees and produced by Australia's Beyond Television Productions for the Discovery Channel. The series is transmitted by numerous international broadcasters, including SBS Australia (New episodes, repeat episodes show on 7mate Australia), and other Discovery channels worldwide. The show's hosts, special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, use elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos, and news stories. The show is one of the oldest—and the most popular—on Discovery Channel currently in production, being preceded only by How It's Made and Daily Planet, both in Canada. Since 2006, the show has been overseen by British show-runner Dan Tapster, working out of Sydney, San Francisco and Manchester.
Filming is based in San Francisco, and editing is done exclusively in Artarmon, Australia. Planning and some experimentation take place at Hyneman's workshops in San Francisco; experiments requiring more space or special accommodations are filmed on location, typically around the San Francisco Bay Area and other locations in northern California, going to other states or even countries on occasion when required. (source: en.wikipedia.org)
The MythBusters test if a fugitive could actually outrun the law while driving from the back seat, and whether it's really possible to knock someone over with a feather.

Kris has raised the notion of Project Blue Beam and asked how we would know that the galactics around the planet are genuine and benign or part of a cabal-inspired false-flag alien attack.
Project Blue Beam was the code name for a cabal-mounted fake alien attack.
Perhaps let me answer that question in two stages. The first concerns whether Project Blue Beam is even something we need to worry about and I'll answer that in this post. The second is much more difficult and concerns how we can know we can trust the galactics who are here now, what we can consult, etc. I'll answer that in a second series of posts.
Adamu, who must be one of my favorite galactic sources and who seems to be one of the wisest commentators the galactics offer us, gave what must be the complete answer on how Project Blue Beam would fare against the galactics, back in 2008. So answering the first question is easy. It may require you to do a bit of reading, but let me offer his answer here and that, I think, may allow us to appraise Project Blue Beam.
Answering the question how do we know we can trust the galactics are who they say they are is a little harder and will come in separate, succeeding articles.
First here is Adamu on the cabal's "party favors."
"Some of you have all manner of fears about a so-called Project Bluebeam. Others fear our ships will be attacked and this could trigger a war and so on and so on. My young friends, I can send messages … full time all day every day, until the day we arrive and every day there will be those that present new fearful scenarios that I might have to dispel. This is because you are falling for the manipulation games of those that do not wish for this event to take place.
"Please, take a second. Try to think. If we are able to surround your planet with millions of ships of living light. If we are able to bring ships across thousands of light years in an instant. If our consciousness resides outside of space and time. If we can manifest a ship many miles across by desire alone. If we can defeat a warring enemy without ever attacking them. If we can disable your nuclear devices without touching them. If we can balance your planetary magnetosphere. I could go on and on. The point is, if we can do all these things and so much more, do you honestly think your Earth cabal's tin toys and party favours are going to get in our way? They are not. …
"Our spirit technology surpasses their material technology by an almost unimaginable margin. Now these others, they feel we stand in the way of their plans and they feel they want what we have. So they will attack us when they can. They would in fact destroy us if they could and take everything we have from us. But they cannot. They very rarely manage to even hurt one of us in the slightest way.
"We on the other hand could, if it was in our consciousness, destroy them right now. But we will not. Because, you see, we know that they are us. We know that they are actually one with us. They just don`t know this yet. So in summary. They would destroy us but cannot. We could destroy them but will not. And that is the state of play. It would seem on the face of it to bring about a stalemate, but it doesn`t. We are winning. And do you know how we proceed to win? Not by attacking them, not by hurting them. No, in fact by loving them. Each and every being that comes to us and says I am tired of fighting, I am tired of fear, I am tired of pain, I am tired of being alone. Each one is welcomed to us. And so over time it is an absolute inevitability that all will return to the oneness."
