Assemblies for eighth-graders in the dead of winter can often be boring.
But those assemblies didn't feature a United States congressman answering questions submitted by those very students.
United States Congressman Leonard Lance, representing New Jersey's 7th Legislative District, spent Tuesday morning at the Long Valley Middle School speaking with more than 340 eighth-graders, many of whom emailed him questions ranging from gun control to the United States' dependency on foreign oil.
Lance opened his session telling the students they were very fortunate to be part of such a strong school system, "due to your parents hard-earned funds that go toward the public school system."
Lance took over as Chester and Washington Township's representative in 2011 when New Jersey underwent a redistricting, supplanting Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen.
"[Frelinghuysen] is a distinguished, senior member in the House of Representatives," Lance said to the teens. "Our responsibilities are not just in Washington D.C., but in our [respective] districts all over the country."
A major topic of discussion for Lance was the country's use of oil, especially that of foreign countries. Lance expressed his desire to become less energy dependent, and spoke about drilling domestically.
"Not everybody in the Middle East likes us," Lance said. "And there's a terrible dictator in Venezuela, and these are places we get our oil from. We're too reliant on other countries."
When asked what he expected to be doing in five years, the congressman debunked any rumors about his running for the soon-to-be vacant United States senator seat, currently occupied by Frank Lautenberg.
"I hope to continue serving as a member of the House of Representatives five years from now," Lance said. "That's where I hope to be five years from now."

For the first time ever one nationwide fundraiser hit the streets of Charlottesville tonight. The inaugural "Light the Night Walk" hit the streets of downtown Charlottesville. The event is held by the Leukemia and Lymphoma society to raise money and awareness for blood cancers. Participants walked 2 miles carrying lighted balloons. Organizers say they re glad Charlottesville is a part of the event this year.
"One of the girls in my class is a survivor, and the other girls' little brother passed away from it so I'm here to support them, and to support the cause," said participant Katie Davenport.
The organizers estimated that they had 400 people walk the Downtown Mall for the event.

A contentious atmosphere during the general session lingered into a special session as legislators overrode a record total 38 of 53 vetoed bills [1] by Gov. Linda Lingle. Despite the budget shortfall of over $600 million [2] (estimates differ) for 2010 and 2011, legislators were able to enact a number of highly progressive reforms including a majority signup bill, strengthening workers comp and family leave policies, requiring large parking lots to have dedicated electric vehicle spaces with charging stations, and reviving basic universal health insurance for children.
Tax, budget and stimulus: The state addressed its budget gap through over $800 million in budget cuts; using various government sources including non-general funds, penalties, enforcement and carryover balances; the one-time infusion of federal stimulus funds, and a progressive tax increase on high income earners.
The main tax increase enacted applied to those earning more than $150,000 filing singly, $300,000 filing jointly, and $225,000 filing as head of household (HB1747 [3]). The legislature also raised taxes on hotel rooms from 7.25 percent to 9.25 percent (SB1111 [4]); those who are selling property over $2 million, and second homes and investment properties of any price (HB1741 [5]); and cigarette and tobacco sellers (HB1175 [6] and HB895 [7]). Gov. Lingle [8] allowed a bill cutting back the state's high tech tax credit to become law without her signature -- which will save the state $120 to $150 million over the next two years. The Senate attempted to revive the Internet sales tax [9], but it didn't make it past the House. Of note, the Governor signed a bill that imposes a 5% pay cut and salary freezes [10] for elected officials and top staff.
Stimulus funds were used for solar home heaters [11] for low-income families, increased TANF funding (HB1264 [12]), and [13]amended for greater access to unemployment insurance in line with ARRA requirements (SB 94 [13]).
Labor: Overcoming repeated vetoes by the governor, the state legislature used overrides to enact a number of pro-labor bills this session:
- Majority signup: HB952 [14] (override) certifies entities as exclusive representatives without an election where no other representatives are certified as the exclusive bargaining representatives for employers with an annual gross revenue of $5 million or more.
- HB1479 [15] (override), referred to as the "Little Davis Bacon Act," requires the department of labor and industrial relations to include in certified payroll records a fringe benefit reporting form, on which contractors and subcontractors itemize the cost of fringe benefits paid to both union and non-union laborers who perform work for the construction, alteration, or repair of public buildings and public works. It allows for any certified form containing fringe benefit reporting requirements to be submitted in lieu of a form supplied by the department of labor and industrial relations.
- HB1676 [16] (override) requires that the collective bargaining agreement be submitted to the director of labor and industrial relations in order for the terms in the agreement to dictate the prevailing wages with regard to a project financed through the issuance of a special purpose revenue bond.
- SB19 [17] (override) requires a public works construction contract over $250,000 to prefer bidders who have an apprenticeship agreement registered with the department of labor and industrial relations.
- Workers' comp: SB695 [18] (override) requires the employer to continue medical services to an injured employee despite disputes over whether treatment should be continued, until the director of labor and industrial relations decides whether treatment should be continued.
Unfortunately, HB 643 [19] was enacted, which authorizes the Contractors License Board to suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a contractor's license for employing a worker on a public work project who is ineligible under federal law to work in the United States.
Agriculture: HB 1471 [20], which overcame the Governor's veto, establishes the Safe Food Certification pilot program to promote locally grown produce and facilitate purchasing agreements between Hawaii's farmers and the visitor and hospitality industry.
Housing: The state budget bill addresses the need for more affordable housing by providing $30 million for the Rental Housing Trust Fund and $20 million for the Dwelling Unit Revolving Fund to assist in the development of low-income rental units and housing projects.HB 200 [21] approved money for the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to tackle the repair and maintenance backlog. SB1218 [22] (override) allows the commissioner of financial institutions to regulate, license, examine, and enforce laws regulating mortgage loan originators.
Health care: A number of health care reforms were enacted over the vetoes of the Governor:
- Universal health care: HB 989 [23] (override) revives the Keiki Care pilot program, which the Governor terminated last year, to provide basic health insurance for children who are uninsured and do not qualify for other programs through 2012. HB1504 [24] (override) creates the Hawaii Health Authority to develop a comprehensive plan to provide universal health care in Hawaii. SB423 [25] (override) helps hospitals provide care to low-income patients by appropriated $12.3 million in order to qualify for $12.5 million of federal Medicaid allowance funds.
- Community Hospitals: SB1673 [26] restructures the statewide community hospital system and authorizes the transition of the system under certain circumstances.
- Licensing: SB415 [27] (override) requires the department of health to license home care agencies.
- Sexuality education: SB777 [28] (override) requires state-funded sexuality health education programs to provide comprehensive medically accurate sexuality education.
- To address the critical shortage of doctors [29], the legislature passed two bills over the Governor's veto: HB343 [30] develops a statewide rural primary health care training program and support for University of Hawaii family medicine residency program. SB43 [31] creates a special fund at the U of H School of Medicine and assesses a $60 fee for renewing physician and osteopathic physician licenses, with proceeds to be deposited to the special fund.
Education: SB1665 [32] (override) enhances the workforce development capacity of Hawaii's community colleges by establishing a skilled worker and business development center to provide workforce training to meet the rapidly evolving needs of both employers and employees. Appropriates Reed Act funds.
Criminal justice: SB539 [33] (override) renames the intake service center division of DPS to the reentry intake service centers and directs the reentry intake service centers to work closely and collaborate with the furlough programs in each county, the Hawaii paroling authority, and the correction program services division to ensure that the reentry needs of inmates are being met. It also establishes an oversight committee and reentry commission.
- HB 358 [34] (override) authorizes the placement of certain offenders in secure drug treatment facilities.
- HCR 27 was adopted to inquire into the disproportionate numbers of native Hawaiians in the criminal justice system.
Energy and Environment: In a significant move, the legislature enacted HB1464 [35] which will require establishment of energy-efficient portfolio standards; implementing those standards in public buildings; electricity-cost disclosure in the sale of residential property; establishment of a "Building Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Program"; the use of renewable energy by electric utilities; and more assistance by government agencies in the development and permitting of renewable energy projects. Other key bills enacted include:
- SB 1202 [36] requires large parking facilities to provide dedicated parking spaces (complete with electric charging units) for electric vehicles.
- HB 1270 [37] allows the public utility commission to set a fair rate for renewable energy sources without being limited to the comparable cost of burning fossil fuels.
- SB 266 [38] creates a climate change taskforce to discuss alleviating and minimizing the consequences of climate change.
Missed opportunities: A number of key bills just barely missed passage this session:
- The Governor sustained a veto against a food safety bill, HB 1271 [39], which would have increased the tax on oil barrels by a dollar to fund energy and food sustainability initiatives. The average cost to consumers would have been 2 cents on a gallon of gasoline.
- SB 619, [40] would have allowed incarcerated individuals to vote by absentee ballot, and was passed by the Senate and a House Committee but was not ultimately enacted.
- Civil unions: HB 444 [41] would have provided same-sex couples with the same rights and responsibilities that are provided to married couples. It was one of the came
- very close to being enacted and proved to be one of the most talked about issues this session.
- The Legislature also did not override a veto of a campaign finance bill that good-government groups argued would result in less transparency and more special interest money.

Will you be sticking around the Marple Newtown area for the annual ? No? You may want to reconsider.
AAA-Mid Atlantic estimates that 400,000 residents of the five-county area will be traveling this Memorial Day Weekend, despite gas prices peaking near $4 a gallon. The agency defines traveling as journeys of 50 miles of greater.
Of that figure, 88 percent plan to drive to their destination, roughly the same number as last year, says AAA.
"Despite near-record-high gas prices this spring, Philadelphia area residents are ready to travel to welcome the summer season this Memorial Day holiday weekend," said Jenny M. Robinson, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. "While the economy continues to improve slightly, consumers have felt the pain at the pump in recent months, yet many will still travel. Local Memorial Day travel projections are up slightly over last year, but each household's spending may vary depending on their economic circumstances."
About 1 in 10 of the area's 4 million people will be traveling, although only 0.7 percent will be by air, a 6.2 percent drop from 2011.
Air travel is also being hit nationwide, with a 5.5 percent drop despite an overall 1.2 percent increase in the number of Americans traveling.
More fun facts:
- 88% - the number of travelers who will go by car (nationally)
- 7% - the number of travelers who will go by air (nationally)
- 5% - the number of travelers who will go by other modes - trains, buses, boats (nationally)
- $3.73 – Philadelphia area gas average today
- $3.89 – Philadelphia area gas average Memorial Day weekend a year ago
- $0.16 – the difference between the price of gas today and last Memorial Day weekend
- 713 miles – the average roundtrip for Middle Atlantic region travelers (including PA)
- 642 miles – the average roundtrip (nationally) – 150 miles less than 2011 nationally
- $839 – the average expected trip expenditures for Middle Atlantic region travelers
- 19% - the percentage of travel parties of just two adults from the Middle Atlantic region
- 60% - the percentage of travel parties of families traveling from the Middle Atlantic region
- 55% - of Middle Atlantic region travelers plan to visit family and friends this holiday weekend
- 39% - of Middle Atlantic region travelers plan to go to the beach/waterfront this holiday weekend
- 7,446 – "Emergency Roadside Service" calls expected in our PA territory for the long holiday weekend (May 24-28), with the biggest spike in call volume on Tuesday after Memorial Day.
- $185 – the average rate for a 3-Diamond hotel in Philadelphia. Up 17% from last year.
- $100 – the average rate for a 2-Diamond hotel in Philadelphia. Down 3% from last year.
- $303 – the average airfare Philadelphia to Miami. Up 35% from last year.
- $214 – the average airfare Philadelphia to Seattle. Down 37% from last year.
- $33 – the average rental car daily rate in Philadelphia. Up 20% from last year.
In Pennsylvania, motorists also can check current highway and construction conditions by calling 511 or visiting www.511pa.com. Construction work on interstate highways is normally suspended during Memorial Day weekend.
So, now that you know what everyone else is doing for Memorial Day, the question is: what are you doing?

Meals on Wheels' motto is "Food from the Heart." And judging from the dedication of the volunteers who run the program, a lot of love and caring is served up with the meals.
Amy Weiss, site manager of the Carnation Café at the , has been with Meals on Wheels (MOW) for 21 years. She joined the program, because she was interested in working with the elder population.
"I've continued, because I really enjoy working with the senior community," she said. "I feel honored to have this wonderful extended family of folks from many walks of life with such varied and rich backgrounds and experiences. I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned from them and the way in which they truly enrich my life."
Meals on Wheels offers an opportunity for seniors to not only receive a well-balanced and nutritious meal, but to socialize.
"Several lunch participants began coming in for the food, and ended up staying for the socialization and fun," Weiss said. "We often have live music and lively conversations. Things are often 'hopping' around here!"
More than 900 meals every weekday are served to seniors throughout the county. An organization like that requires a lot of help, and most of that help comes from MOW's 200-plus volunteers.
Program director Lisa Berkowitz, who has been with Meals on Wheels since 1979, said, "We have a lot of tricks to get these meals out."
She said MOW averages 32 different routes each day.
The meals are planned with the help of a dietitian. The same meals are served at each of the participating senior centers (see list below).
The August menu looks healthy, flavorful and filling, with a nice variety of dishes. For instance, one meal consisted of lentil soup, carrots, spinach salad, pineapple juice, whole wheat roll and pudding. Another featured beef fajitas, pinto beans, green salad, Mexican rice and fresh fruit. Yum!
You must be 60 years or older to receive the meals, but there is no income requirement. However, if you're able, a $2.50 donation is requested. You should call the dining center for a reservation one day in advance. If you need transportation to and from the center, call the center to arrange a ride from Lift Line.
Besides the meals served at the various senior centers, you can also have meals delivered to your home. The meals are delivered frozen so you can re-heat them according to your schedule. There's also an option for a multiple meal, once-a-week delivery.
We're lucky to have Meals on Wheels in Santa Cruz County. Congratulations and thanks to all involved for 35 years of excellent service!
Senior Centers that serve Meals on Wheels:
8500 Highway 9, Ben Lomond 831-336-5366
301 Center St., Santa Cruz 831-427-0901
114 East Fifth St., Watsonville 831-724-2024
1777 Capitola Road, Santa Cruz 831-475-7177
360 Kings Village Road, Scotts Valley 831-438-8666
FYI: Date set for the next SENIOR TECH DAY:
YouthServe volunteers will answer your questions on digital cameras, cellphones, Facebook and more, on Saturday from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Louden Nelson Center. Read a for more details or contact Woubzena Jifar at 831-427-5066 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Bats & People/Bats In Buildings
Table Of Contents
Exclusion Guidelines
If bats move in
As bats lose their natural roosts in trees and caves, they are sometimes forced to seek shelter in human-made structures. There is little reason to evict these highly beneficial animals unless they are causing a problem or are considered a nuisance. Bats should, however, be prevented from entering human living quarters.
Permanently – and humanely – evicting bats from buildings is not particularly difficult, but it requires patience and attention to detail. You can do it yourself with the following detailed instructions.
Where bats roost in buildings
Bats may roost in attics, soffits, louvers, chimneys and porches; under siding, eaves, roof tiles or shingles; and behind shutters (see diagram). In stadiums and parking garages, bats sometimes roost in expansion joints between concrete beams.
Most North American bats have small teeth for eating insects and do not gnaw through wood or other building materials like rodents. But they can enter buildings through openings as small as one-half inch (1.3 centimeters) in diameter. Common entry points include open windows or doors, broken or poorly fitted screens, open soffits, loose or missing roof shingles or tiles, places where flashing or boards have come loose and where pipes or wiring enter buildings. Openings often occur where walls meet the eaves at the gable ends of an attic, where porches attach to a house or where dormers meet the roof. Other points of entry are associated with siding. For example, cracks and crevices are often created where siding forms corners or where it meets windows, doors or chimneys.
The existence of roosting bats in buildings is sometimes indicated by the presence of black or brown stains from body oils or droppings (guano) around cracks or crevices. Bat droppings may also appear on walls, under porches or decks, or beneath dilapidated ceilings. Bat guano may resemble small, hard rodent pellets; but it is soft, easily crushed to reveal shiny insect parts and does not contain any white material.
Evicting bats from buildings
Excluding bats from buildings requires establishing one-way exits through which the bats can leave but cannot return, while also sealing all other potential entry points. This process of eviction and exclusion is the only effective and permanent solution when bats in a building are unwanted.
Trapping and relocating is ineffective since bats have powerful homing instincts and will simply return, even when released at great distances. The use of pesticides against bats is illegal and counterproductive, and greatly increases the likelihood of bats coming into contact with people and pets. Naphthalene, the active ingredient in mothballs, and ultrasonic devices are often promoted as bat repellents. Ultrasonic devices have proven ineffective, however, and naphthalene, to be effective, would have to be used in such large quantities that it would pose a significant health hazard to humans.
Preventing access
Small bat colonies can usually be tolerated and simply left alone, but bats should always be prevented from entering human living quarters.
The first step in exclusions is to inspect the building's interior for small openings through which bats could enter. All openings connecting the attic or other potential roosting areas to living quarters should be sealed, while entry points on the outside of the building are left open. Caulking, flashing, screening or insulation can be used to seal most openings on the inside. Draft guards should be placed beneath doors to attics; electrical and plumbing holes should be filled with steel wool, caulking or weather stripping.
Caulking, flashing, screening or heavy-duty mesh can be used to bat-proof most openings on the outside. Expanding foam or similar products should never be used to seal cracks in a building where bats are active because they can become caught in it. Caulking should be water-based and applied early enough in the day so it has time to dry before bats emerge in the evening.
Never simply wait for bats to fly out at night and then seal openings. Not all of the bats leave at the same time, and some may remain inside all night, especially during storms. Instead, use tubes or netting as one-way valves that allow bats to leave, but not to reenter. These valves (or exclusion devices) must be placed over all openings that bats use to enter and exit. Valves may be constructed from well-cleaned caulk tubes or plastic pipes. Lightweight plastic netting, with mesh of one-sixth inch (0.4 centimeter) or smaller, may also be used for one-way valves. These exclusion devices should be left in place for five to seven nights to ensure that all bats have left the building. After careful observation to be sure all bats have left, the one-way valves may be removed and the openings sealed.
What about baby bats?
Bats often roost in buildings during maternity periods, when they give birth and raise their pups. Exclusions should not take place until young bats are able to fly; otherwise, they will be trapped inside, away from their mothers, and die of starvation. Separating pups from their mothers may also lead mother bats to search for other entrances to reach their young.
In North America, the maternity season begins as early as mid-April in the southernmost United States and in mid-June in the northern U.S. and Canada. Young bats are flying by late August. Exclusions should not be conducted between April and late August.
Most house-dwelling bats migrate to warmer climates or enter caves or abandoned mines to hibernate in the late fall. However, a few species can hibernate in buildings. If hibernating bats are present in cold regions during the winter, exclusions should be postponed until spring when they emerge to feed. In mild climates, some bats may remain active year-round, but exclusions should be carefully monitored or avoided during periods when night temperatures fall below 50 degrees F (10 degrees C).
Excluding bats with tubes
In most cases, tubes make the best bat-exclusion devices. These include openings on buildings with rough exterior walls, such as brick or stone houses and log cabins. Tubes also work best for holes at corners where walls meet and on horizontal surfaces such as soffits.
Exclusion tubes should have a diameter of two inches (five centimeters) and be about 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) in length. Exclusion devices can be purchased commercially or made from PVC pipe or flexible plastic tubing. Bats are unable to cling to the smooth surface of these tubes, so the tube should project no more than one-quarter inch (six millimeters) into the opening. This will ensure exiting bats can easily enter the tube. Laura Finn of Fly By Night Inc., says empty caulking tubes also work well after caps at both ends have been cut away. Caulking tubes must be thoroughly cleaned before they can be used for exclusions because dried caulk forms a rough surface that could allow bats to reenter. These flexible, plastic tubes let you squeeze one end so it fits into a crevice. Or you can cut one end into flaps that fit over an opening and can be caulked, stapled, nailed or screwed into place (see diagram).
Once the tube has been secured over the hole, a piece of lightweight, clear plastic can be taped around the tube's outside end (see diagram) to further reduce the likelihood of bats reentering, though this is usually not necessary.
Plastic sleeves collapse on themselves, preventing bats from reentering once they have crawled out through the tube. After the tube has been secured into or over an opening used by bats, any spaces between the outer rim of the tube and the building must be sealed shut. Also be sure to seal any other openings in the building that bats could use. Leave the tube in place for a minimum of five to seven days to ensure all bats have left. After the bats have been excluded, the tube should be removed and the opening permanently sealed.
Using netting for exclusions
Lightweight, flexible plastic netting with one-sixth-inch (0.4 centimeter) mesh or smaller can be used to form a one-way valve over openings on smooth surfaces of exterior walls or attic louvers. Secure the top and sides of the netting, as shown in the diagram. The netting should extend 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 centimeters) below the lower edge of the opening with the bottom hanging loose.
The netting should remain in place for a minimum of five to seven days to ensure all bats have left. Then openings should be permanently sealed with silicone caulking, caulk-backing rod, hardware cloth or heavy-duty netting. In some cases, sealing may require repair or replacement of old, deteriorated wood. When bats are using multiple openings to enter and exit, exclusion material should be placed on each opening. If they do not appear to be exiting or seem to be having trouble doing so, add new valves as needed.
Special situations
Multiple exclusion tubes are often required to exclude bats from large structures or problem roofs.
When bats are roosting in long crevices, such as those found in some parking garages, exclusion tubes should be placed every few feet along the length of each crevice or in every discrete section to ensure all bats can easily exit through the valves. The spaces between the tubes should be bat-proofed with heavyweight mesh (see diagram). Fold the netting so it fits into the crevice and caulk it in place as shown. The same procedure can be used for crevices created where flashing has pulled away from a wall.
Plastic tubes also work well for excluding bats from under Spanish (clay) or concrete roofing tiles. Bats typically enter through open ends on the lowest row of tiles or through openings created where tiles overlap. Exclusion tubes should be placed at all active openings (see diagram).
Collapsible plastic sleeves should also be attached to the ends of the tubes. Heavyweight plastic netting can be folded and inserted into spaces where tiles overlap (see diagram).
Bats may also enter a building through spaces beneath corrugated or galvanized roofing sheets. These roofs can be sealed with a variety of materials after bats have been excluded.
Special modifications may be needed when bats roost in chimneys or in spaces between a chimney and roof. If bats are roosting inside the chimney, build a wire cage from quarter-inch hardware cloth lined with window screen. A section of PVC pipe can be inserted through holes cut into the sides of the cage (see diagram). Although bats are able to drop down and out of a vertically placed tube that extends below the roost, they cannot grip the slick surface to crawl out if the tube extends upward above the roost. Therefore, the tubes should project either horizontally or downward. A collapsible plastic sleeve should be placed over the ends of all horizontal tubes. Once the bats have been excluded, a chimney cap should be installed.
Perching on porches
Bats sometimes roost briefly at night on porches or under overhangs while they digest insects they've eaten. These temporary roosts should usually be tolerated unless the bats are considered a nuisance. Nontoxic, aerosol dog or cat repellents may discourage bats from using these areas. The spray should be applied only during the day when bats are not present. (Aerosol repellents are not an adequate substitute for exclusion in the case of day roosts and should never be applied when bats are in a roost.) Mylar balloons, strips of aluminum foil or ribbons hung from the porch ceiling and allowed to move in the breeze may also discourage bats from roosting in that area.
Installing a bat house
When excluding bats from a building, it's always a good idea to provide bats with a new place to live. For information on building or purchasing bat houses, visit the Bat House section of our website.

(Mark Mulville/Buffalo News file photo)
Corey Tropp needed just 24 seconds to score the first goal of the Amerks' season. He needed less than 15 minutes to score their second.
His next goal won't come until next year.
Tropp left with seven minutes left in Rochester's opener Friday because of a severe right leg injury, and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reported today that the right winger has suffered damage to the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments and will undergo season-ending surgery.
"Appreciate all the support," Tropp wrote on Twitter. "Tough break but that's life."
Tropp was in Rochester only because of the NHL lockout. He was scheduled to be a third- or fourth-line winger for the Sabres. The 23-year-old played 34 games with Buffalo last season, recording three goals, eight points and 20 penalty minutes.

Question by Hoover 2469 · Jan 06, 2012 at 05:50 PM · paleoprimalancestralarchevore
I asked this question in response to someones answer on another question, she suggested I ask it as an actual question. So here I go...
What would you define as "primal," "paleo," and "ancestral"? Ive heard both primal and paleo (obviously) and know the basic differences, but what do YOU define them as? And what do you define as "ancestral" (or any other term to describe your diet) in comparison?

I wish we can call them all Ancestral. The words paleo and primal at best can only be metaphors. The word Ancestral covers all wild and domesticate plants and animals throughout the ages, plus our genetics from our parents back to the first one-celled organisms.
I'm cool with Evolutionary too.

Answer by I'm_with_Raquel 1460 · Jan 06, 2012 at 05:55 PM
This maybe isn't the answer that you want, but I call them all paleo. Even raw vegan seems to me to be sort of paleo. It's just vegan paleo. I think they're similar to us in a sense. I bet our ancestors, stumbling across an abundance of fruit, probably ate nothing else for days. Then they decided they needed to hunt something so they did that for a bit.
I eat lots of salad, plenty of fruit, nuts, vegetables potatoes, rice, organ meats, seafood, oily fish, poultry, muscle meats (just not as much as I used to). I don't avoid dairy, but I often don't have any of a day...
I think I'm paleo. Perhaps the rice isn't, but I don't pig out on it, and anyway, I bet our ancestors ate some wild grains/grasses. They probably stuck them in a big pot with everything else, just not in such large doses that we were brought up on.
I'm all about salads and stews.

Answer by Sara S. 7943 · Jan 06, 2012 at 06:06 PM
To me, all three focus on eating whole foods from local and high quality sources.
I define paleo as eating meats and veggies, with fruit and maybe nuts in moderation, and no grains, legumes, or dairy. For people with autoimmune conditions, it's further recommended to restrict nuts and nightshades. This is just the starting point, and then foods may be added back to test for individual tolerability (but then it's not necessarily "paleo" anymore, depending on the food).
Primal is a little more lax than paleo and allows dairy if well tolerated.
Ancestral is harder for me to define, but I see it as an umbrella term that includes people with a paleo, primal, or WAPF bent. It's using ancestral knowledge about foods to make more nutritious food choices.

Answer by Soporificat 1306 · Jan 06, 2012 at 06:07 PM
Well, I'm kind of a newbie to the paleo world, but this is how I've noticed people using the terms:
Paleo--no grain, no dairy (except maybe butter and heavy cream), no sugar, limited fruits, limited nuts, limited starchy tubers. The most strict of the the three.
Primal--paleo, except they will eat dairy and maybe more starchy tubers and possibly rice.
Ancestral--Weston Price type folks: they will eat grains that have been sprouted/fermented, raw dairy, soaked nuts
Everyone agrees on pasture raised animals and the elimination of industrial oils

Answer by Nance 437 · Jan 06, 2012 at 07:45 PM
LOL I think I am the "he" who suggested you post this as a question, Michelle.
Anyhow, when I started I used the term primal only because I had just read the Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson. When I found this site, paleo appeared to be dominant label but was a little more strict than primal.
After much reading and thought, I settled on ancestral--because the way of eating that suits me best is connected to both the history of our species and the particular history of my personal ancestors.
For me, ancestral eating supports finding the best mix and volume of foods to eat that will naturally move me toward--and keep me at--a leaner and more energetic state of health. My individual version includes whole eggs (vs. just yolks or whites) and full-fat home-made yogurt (sweetened with fruit only and no additives.) I thrive on bone broth stews and fatty meat with a lot of non-starchy vegetables with moderate amounts of starch and fruit plus a little cream and the yogurt. Nuts are a "once in a while" thing.

yes you are nance :Dand how do you make yogurt?! sounds yummy.
Answer by raydawg 25190 · Jan 07, 2012 at 03:46 PM
I see these terms as forked off because each of their proponents needed to carve out their own niche.
I don't see them as very different from each other in the big picture, so I pick and choose parts of what works for me from each.
A clue to this mechanism is the subtitle to Nora Gedgaudas's book Primal Body Primal Mind, which is "Beyond The Paleo Diet For Total Health And A Longer Life." The intended claim is that this book is better than one of the "Paleo Diet" ones, so it would lead to total health (where the "Paleo Diet" has gaps? and longer life, where the "Paleo Diet" wouldn't?)
I doubt Nora herself picked that tagline, more than likely a marketing person did, so that their publish company would get more sales than those of the others. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual book names of these things were also selected by editors, or marketing folks from the book industry, just as the covers are.
Note that I do not subscribe to the claims of that subtitle. Nora's work has a lot to add to the Paleosphere, and I absolutely love her book, but in the big picture, it is removal of neolithic agents of health disease such as wheat, soy, PUFAs are the most important parts.
It's not necessarily the case that if you start from the SAD and then follow her way, the outcome would be better than if you start from SAD and follow Robb Wolf's, Loren Cordain's De Vany's, etc.
The brands:
Art De Vany has The New Evolution Diet, soon to be renamed to the De Vany Diet, according to his announcements.
Mark Sisson has The Primal Blueprint series of books. I somehow don't believe that Grok, or any other caveman ever came across a blueprint, or despite the subtitle, that it would actually do any "gene reprogramming" (OK, so maybe it would enable or disable certain genes in your epigenome via methylation, but it certainly would not modify your actual DNA.)
Loren Cordain and Robb Wolf have stuck to the original "Paleo" term.
I think Robb Wolf's "The Original Human Diet" subtitle is likely the least inaccurate, and we do know based on coprolites, bones and other archeological finds what the original human diet was, but even so, it's not 100% accurate as there's no woolly mammoth steaks I can buy, nor any aurochs.
I'm sure Cordain would not have chosen "Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Foods You Were Designed to Eat", as we weren't "Designed" to eat specific foods, but rather we adapted to our environment of 1M-100K years ago, and have failed to adapt to the SAD, hence the neolithic diseases we suffer from.
Paul Jaminet has "Perfect Health Diet: Four Steps to Renewed Health, Youthful Vitality, and Long Life" -- I'm sure that there can be more, or less than four steps, and that one could attain "Renewed Health, Youthful Vitality, and Long Life" through one of the other diets I've mentioned here.
Ancestral comes from "Ancestral Health Symposium" which has no tag line, and does not appear to have been infected by marketing weasels.
Chris Kresser has the "Personal Paleo Code", and you might have noticed his podcast change names several times, also indicating a need to find the right niche.
There are other brands, "Paleo 2.0", "The Quilt", Archevore, Lean Gains, "Protein Power", not all of which necessarily refer to a Paleo life style, but are of use to us who live this way, etc.
Another example: on Art De Vany's forums, I've seen people say that they're on the NED (New Evolution Diet), and then I see an almost identical question posted on Mark Sisson's MDA forums, sometimes posted by someone with a similar name, claim that they're on a Primal diet. So at least some of the readers of these books and users of these forums are somewhat aware of this and going along with it.
I think the one common use distinction (the same way that Kleenex and Xerox were once brand names but became generic) is that Primal would include dairy, where as Paleo does not.
But then, even Robb Wolf would tell you that "if dairy works for you, God Love you", and I'm sure that Mark Sisson would have zero objection to someone who has a diary allergy from reading his series of Primal Blueprint books and still calling what they do Primal while shunning dairy.
Note: I own most of the books I've mentioned, and love the authors and their works, and don't hold anything against them. Each has a lot to offer us. Do not take the above words to be derogatory in any way. However, as advertising attempts to modify our thoughts and behaviors, it is vital that we practice critical thinking before purchasing anything, or accepting any medical claims: especially those made by the medical, pharmacological, industrial agricultural, marketing/advertising, or political professions.
I highly recommend Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind which can educate you on at least some of these issues, and how these folks attempt to manipulate us.

I would describe "Paleo" as any food that can be hunted or gathered and then eaten raw. I don't know enough about "Primal" or "Ancestral" to be able to comment.

I wouldn't use any of those words as there is nothing we could eat or do which would resemble paleolithic or ancestral living in this day and age. I'm still searching for the right word....

Answer by Jenny 9 247 · Apr 21, 2012 at 12:33 AM
When online I blanket term most things as "paleo" for ease, though I guess technically I am blanketing primal and ancestral in there. I generally think of primal as paleo + dairy and ancestral as paleo + dairy + some traditionally prepared grains.
In real life? I never put a label on what I eat. I just say "I eat whole fresh foods and gluten free" if someone asks or I need to explain. If the conversation continues, I'll probably throw in a bit on ancestral eating. I find as soon as the word "paleo" or "primal" gets put into a conversation people stop taking me seriously and start asking "oh, how much weight have you lost so far?" as if it's a fad diet with a weight loss goal attached. For me, that's not productive because it holds me back from having a real conversation. Plus, I'm in a dietetics program and people still think that I'm knowledgeable about nutrition and refer to me for information- something I'm not sure they'd do if they thought I followed a "fad diet" like "paleo" or "primal" (their hypothetical words, not mine!)

After years of giving advice all day long to pet owners with allergic dogs, I now have a fresh perspective on the subject—that is after adopting Cindy, an allergic 11-year-old Golden Retriever, a few years ago.
Now that cats have overtaken dogs as the most popular pet in American homes, we are seeing more with dermatological problems.
I am often asked about what can be done for "dry skin" for patients on chemotherapy, where steroid is a part of that chemotherapy. However, it is not only patients on steroid for chemotherapy; some canine and feline patients have varying degrees of sensitivity to steroids and the changes they produce in the skin.
Cheyletiella mites (walking dandruff) have become an epidemic in our Midwestern practice in the summer, with endemic numbers throughout the year.

I am a novice woodworker getting...Posted June 24, 2012
I am a novice woodworker getting back to my hobby after years of being on hiatus raising kids, work, life in general, etc. so this outfit was a long sought after luxury for me. Once set up and properly tuned, I did a test tail and pin set. A little tweak on the settings and I had a absolutely perfect fit on my second test. Marked the settings on the provided chart and now I am set to use it on my hunting chest I am making. I researched all of the other Dovetail jigs out there and decided to go with the best rated and most versatile system I could find. This is the outfit to buy and you will be glad you did. I know I am.

Excellent Product. Outstanding Instruction. I have been a carpenter for many years mostly rough I wanted to try my hand at some furnature making. I looked at the Porter Cable unit but decided that if I was going to be serious about this endevour, I should purchase a jig that I can grow into not grow out of. I was impressed with the quick setup and pinpoint accuracy of the jig. What a pleasure to use. Thanks LEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been in the woodworking business...Posted April 25, 2011
I've been in the woodworking business for 35 years. I learned years ago from an old timer how to hand cut dovetails. I've spent many hours hand cutting pins and tails. I only wish that the old fella' who taught me how to hand cut dovetails was alive to see and use the DR4! I am completly blown away by the quality of the product as well as the quality of the work it produces. I would strongly suggest this product to amateurs as well as pros. it works.....

The Moore American
MOORE — Whether you do online banking and shopping or not, it's good to know what sort of personal, private information actually resides in your computer. The longer we use our computers, the greater the odds things are there we are unaware of, or have simply forgotten.
Your private computer and Internet-related information (bank account, credit card, Social Security numbers, names, addresses, etc.) exists in two types, depending on what is happening at the time. Computer IT wonks refer to these two types as "data at rest" and "data in motion."
"Data at rest" is data that is not actively participating in any activity; it simply exists, "at rest" in your computer, on a hard drive, flash drive, DVD, or some other form of data storage. It is "resting," i.e., it is not busy doing anything or moving around.
"Data in motion," on the other hand, is data that is moving from one place to another. An example of data in motion is when you check your email; data (your username and password) is moving from your computer to the email server computers of whoever is your email provider, requesting that they send you your email. Even if you don't see the data moving, because your email program or browser automatically sends your password behind the scenes, the data is still in motion.
The point of this long-winded "data-at-rest, data-in-motion" explanation is that private, personal data at rest that accidentally turns into data in motion can be very dangerous data, and it happens all the time. Internet security pros spend a lot of time and effort protecting data in motion, but a security and privacy company named Velosecure says they have a better way: clean up your computer first, getting rid of confidential data at rest that you may not even know exists.
To that end, they have invented "Identity Finder," an impressive program that scans computers, and even entire networks for sensitive data that, if accidentally turned into data in motion, could spell disaster for the data owners. Identity Finder comes in many different versions, including one that is free to personal and non-commercial users. That's the version that I tried, and I recommend you try it, too.
To get your free copy of Identity Finder, go to identityfinder.com, put your mouse pointer on top of the "Download" link and click "Free." Apple Mac users will be pleased to find there is a version for OS X, versions 10.5 and higher. Download the version appropriate for your computer, double-click the downloaded file and install the program. The installation is a bit cranky, asking you to sign up for this or that service or extra add-on, but you can say "No" to most of them and simply install the program.
After installing Identity Finder, run the program (double-click the new icon that has appeared on your desktop) and pick "Launch Free." You can say "Yes" to the next few screens and say "Skip" to the "New Identity Finder Profile" window that appears. Say "OK" to the Guest Profile question, and you'll finally be ready to get down to business.
Once you can see the "Identity Finder Wizard," you are presented with a few choices. Open the Advanced Interface if you really want to get down to some nitty-gritty tweaking, but I recommend most folks simply make sure all other programs are closed and click the button that says "Start search now."
The free version of Identity Finder only searches for passwords and credit card numbers, but that was enough to give me pause. Identity Finder quickly found a copy of a credit report I had requested two years ago and had forgotten about. It easily tagged the three credit card numbers contained in the report, reminding me of the fact that copies of credit reports should probably not be stored on computers that are connected to the Internet. Oops. My bad.
The Personal version of Identity Finder costs $40 for one computer, or $80 for three. It does a much more thorough job than the free version, in that it also finds unsecured Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, bank account numbers, passwords and more. It also searches emails and web browsers for sensitive data. For what it does, I think it's a bargain, as is the entire line of Identity Finder software.

Radiation therapy can help you in your fight against cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells.
Cells in the body start out normal, growing and dividing the way they should. When normal cells change into cancer, they begin to grow and divide uncontrollably. A group of cancer cells is called a cancer tumor.
Radiation destroys cancer cells gradually, over time. The goal of therapy is to focus on and kill as many cancer cells as possible. Radiation can also damage or kill some of the normal cells that are closest to the tumor. Damaged normal cells can repair themselves, often within a day or so.
With external radiation, a machine directs beams of high-energy x-rays at the tumor. The treatment is planned to aim at the cancer and affect the fewest normal cells. The machine can change position so the x-ray beams can enter your body from any angle.
With internal radiation, one or more implants (also called sources) are placed in or around the cancer tumor. The implants put the radiation as close to the cancer as possible. Implants can be temporary or permanent.

Last week saw the release of "The Hunger Games" and while this week might not have a film of that caliber it's still nothing to thumb your nose at.
The Dictator (2012)dir. Larry Charles
Have not seen this yet but a lot of chatter is that it was surprisingly excellent and subdued for a Sacha Baron Cohen film.
It's been a great summer of movies but things are winding down as kids across the country head back to school. "The Dark Knight Rises" as well as "The Avengers" made this a "super" hero summer for the film industry but don't worry, I'm certain you'll still hear about how hard it has been for the studios. No matter, the good DVD's are starting to pick back up after a few lack luster weeks. Let's get started!
The Raid: Redemption (2012) dir. Gareth Evans
And I thought last week was bad. There are literally no movies this week I recommend, but I will tell you about some interesting things that are coming out.
Hatfields & McCoys (2012) dir. Kevin Reynolds
This was a good release from the History Channel but it also had some terribly corny moments.
I'm trying to get things on a regular schedule, I'm still off by a couple days and I apologize! Pretty decent picks this week.
The Three Stooges (2012) dirs. Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly
When this film was going to star Sean Penn and Benecio Del Toro I was totally thrilled. It slowly devolved into a ridiculous side show, campy, blah blah blah. Might check it now on DVD. Some folks actually claim it's funny.
Sorry for the delay, here are last weeks and this weeks picks. Because of the holiday week things were hectic and because I took a week off last week I forgot about this week! My apologies! Enjoy,
God Bless America (2011) dir. Bobcat Goldthwait
A satire directed by none other than "Police Academy's" Bobcat Goldthwait. I will give $100 to anyone who names their child Bobcat.

By Jesse Roman
The Salem News
BEVERLY — Patrice Tierney, the wife of Congressman John Tierney, was injured in a car accident this morning in Danvers. She was treated at Beverly Hospital for undisclosed injuries and was released at about noon. She is now at home recovering, according to the campaign.
Tierney's Volkswagen Bug was rear-ended by small sports utility vehicle just before 8:30 a.m. near the intersection of Centre and Hobart streets, according to Danvers police. A second person was injured in the crash and was treated at Lahey Clinic. The officers who were on duty at the time of the crash are now off duty and Danvers police could not identify the other driver, said Danvers police Capt. Patrick Ambrose.
"It was a pretty significant collision," Matt Robison, Tierney's campaign manager, said in an interview.
Because of the extent of the damage, first responders were worried that the congressman's wife's injuries were more extensive, he said.
Medics were "worried about what kind of shape she was in. It appeared at first her injuries could be significant," Robison said. "Thankfully, after checking her out, it appears that wearing her seat belt saved her from a lot of damage."
Robison said it appeared that an off-duty firefighter driving in a vehicle in front of Patrice Tierney saw the collision, pulled over and called 911. Police could not confirm that this afternoon.
"From what John (Tierney) said, Patrice was awake and able to communicate (after the accident), but she's still in a lot of pain," Robison said.
Tierney was able to leave the vehicle under her own power after the crash, he said.
Rep. Tierney left a campaign event in Gloucester abruptly when he was informed at about 9 a.m. that his wife had been injured in an accident.
Tierney was scheduled to meet with The Salem News editorial board this afternoon, but postponed that meeting due to his wife's accident.
"We are reviewing the congressman's schedule for the next couple of days and will adjust it accordingly so that he can care for his wife," Robison said in an earlier statement.
"(Patrice) and Congressman Tierney thank all who expressed their concern during the last few hours and appreciate the continued thoughts and prayers from friends, family and supporters," Robison said.
Rep. Tierney is involved in an extremely close race with Republican challenger Richard Tisei for the 6th District Congressional seat. Election Day is two weeks from today.

Tichelaar Makkum
Four centuries of experience and constant experimentation watermark the ornamental porcelain that the Netherlands' Royal Tichelaar Makkum handcrafts from local Fysian clay. The factory has been on explorers' maps since 1572, where it has accumulated vast knowledge in the making of everything from glazed tiles to filigreed vases and delicate restoration work, using now-rare production processes. Even in avant-garde design, age-old techniques have a powerful place: Tichelaar still uses the nearly lost majolica technique not only to craft classic Delftware but also objects by wholly modern designers like Hella Jongerius and Job Smeets. In 2007, when Tichelaar tapped Dick van Hoff, the designer asked whether traditional techniques could produce products relevant today; the Work series answers its own question. Five desk accessories, hybrids of wood and stoneware, are made practical only through their clever wooden tendons, joints that transform the earthenware from an exclusive ornament into extraordinary equipment for every day.


text: I meant one - I was questioning why anyone would encourage the princess who would become Elizabeth II to choose one of her other less illustrious names instead of her first name. As a princess, she shared her mother's name; as a queen, she pairs herself with one of the greatest monarchs of England. If it was her choice against advice, then I applaud her wisdom, and her making a stand on something so important right from the beginning of her reign.

Neverwinter teeters on the brink of chaos, but most people remain blind to the danger. The citizens shake their heads at both the Mintarn soldiers' abuses and the rebels' responses as they gingerly step over rivulets of blood pooling on the cobblestones.
Yet these conflicts pale in comparison to the secret wars hidden forces are waging from the shadows. A host of allies, enemies, and people caught in between awaits heroes willing to delve into events surrounding Neverwinter:
These people haven't the slightest understanding of the power accumulating in the earth beneath them—power we must have. A pity that they stand in our way, but who knows? After some time under the earth, perhaps they, too, can be useful to us.
—Valindra Shadowmantle
No nation is as loathed or feared throughout Faerûn as the necromantic magocracy of Thay. In the remote Neverwinter region, far west of Thay's borders, opposition to Szass Tam's empire takes many forms. Upstanding citizens and would-be tyrants find themselves on the same side in an effort to fend off and repel the shambling undead creatures that slink through forests and brush along the outskirts of urban areas. Whispers course through the region's cityfolk, nomadic tribes, and wandering travelers. No one feels safe. Thay is watching, Thay is plotting, and Thayan operatives are working inside the city.
How much more fear—how much more hate—would the people feel if they knew Thay was responsible for Neverwinter's devastation? What if they knew Thay still sought to take advantage of its earlier failures, to squeeze out the region's remaining resources at the expense of more lives?
Valindra Shadowmantle—wizard, lich, and hand of Szass Tam—oversees Thay's interests in the region. And even though many locals know Thayans are skulking about, none realize how large Valindra's force is, nor how far-reaching her machinations.
Once a glittering beacon of civilization, the Jewel of the North now promises death to the timid, glory to the bold, and danger for all. This is Neverwinter: join the adventure, choose your faction, and change the game!

Southold Town Democratic Committee Chairman Arthur Tillman said that the committee is offering $1,000 to anyone who can tell Southold Town Police who is responsible for the vandalization of the car of Democratic committee woman Sally Kahn.
Kahn reported to police on Oct. 23 that someone had vandalized her Honda Accord with black spray paint, covering up Obama and Bishop political bumper stickers. The car was parked in her driveway on North Bayview Road while she was away from home Sunday and Monday, when she told police she believes the vandalism occurred.
"This is new low in attacks on Democrats and their candidates," Tillman said. "The vandalism is politically motivated and is an attempt to stifle opposition and free speech. The Southold Democratic Party takes this crime with the utmost seriousness."
Call Southold Town Police at 631-765-2600 with any information.
Have you experienced any vandalism you feel is politically motivated? Tell us in the comment boxes below.
