I Question The Timing: Uranium Smuggling Ring In Congo Broken Up
Hmmm... I do believe that Congo was one of the countries British intelligence named as a possible supplier to Iraq, and checking my world map... yes, yes, indeed, it does seem to be located in Africa.
Funny how this comes out after the Libby trial:
An international network set up to illegally use uranium mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has reportedly been dismantled.
Going back years, huh? How fuckin' 'bout that.
Bonus: A British paper charges the ring sold uranium to Iran.

Google thinks there are several -- 10, actually -- myths surrounding its wearable computer accessory Glass.
They are:
Since cell phones came onto the scene, folks have been pretty good at creating etiquette and the requisite (and often necessary) bans around where someone can record (locker rooms, casino floors, etc.). Since Glass functionality mirrors the cell phones ("down to the screen being off by default), the same rules apply.

Is fighting climate change a losing battle?
Climate change is and will impact us all. As alluded to, there are many countries who unfortunately stand to make very substantial financial gains from this.
What is likely to be the most successful way of fighting this battle? Who is likely to make the biggest impact - our fellow citizens or our Governments?

Oct 1 2012: The problem is that humans have adpted to wasteful use of anything. As a person, I leave my windows open during the summer and winter time until it becomes unberable. This summer I only used my AC unit three times. In winter we sleep with the heater at 60 and during the day time we try to not have it higher than 68. We wear sweaters and carry a blanket, but we think that the money we save on energy is also resources we save for the planet.
At my work place however, my coworkers think that blasting the AC is a better option than opening the windows even on a nice day outside. I sometimes had to wear a sweater at my desk, one of my coworkers brings a heater to warm herself when the AC temperature is too low. In winter we usually do the opposite and need fans and personal cooling systems to keep a comfortable temperature.
Oct 1 2012: What you have just described is a clear example, that unless the majority of people work together on the changes necessary, then our efforts as an individual will struggle to make the difference. Unfortunately, I feel that only the minority of people try their hardest to reduce emissions and who are even really paying attention to the current climate issues. The threat of 'Global Warming' has been pushed onto the public for so many years now (most of which has mostly been scaremongering), that they have just given in listening.

We'll miss you, Riser.
Anyone following me here: you are kind people. Kind indeed.
However, since RiserGlen passed away, I haven't had any pictures over which to pour my adoration. This is why I shut down this blog and opened my own.
Please update and follow, if you please, my other blog "Simple Things," located here:
Thanks for reading,
Yeah. It's a comic all right. It's got drawings, and a story, and words. Yup. So, it gets good when exactly?
I dunno, I may have to go re-read Bone to get the taste of mediocrity out of my mouth.
We'll miss you, Riser.
I know someone who is extremely Liberal. He of course complains about Glenn Beck and the "brainwashed conservatives" while quoting Keith Olbermann and reciting the Obama administration's talking points like they are gospel. I deal with this person by agreeing with him about how CNN is terrible and The Colbert Report is awesome.
I know someone who is extremely "anti-corporation." She of course contacts me through her Apple cell phone and COX Cable Internet connection to let me know she's driving her Chevy Malibu powered by BP gasoline to the mall to buy her Al Gore books from Borders and get her clothes from the Gap. I deal with this person agreeing with her that George Orwell was a fantastic writer.
I am a fiscally conservative, socially liberal, skeptical agnostic who hates labels. I deal with myself by pretending that labeling myself a fiscally conservative, socially liberal, skeptical agnostic who hates labels is so paradoxical that it removes myself and the labels from existence.
I guess it's all about what ever makes you feel good about yourself, I guess…
Normal people, I'm told, would think that a plane ride to prison is the scariest thing to happen to you. I wish someone would have told me before this whole ordeal started; I just felt bored.
It was about to be too much…I was almost there; total mental breakdown. I could feel it tugging in my head, whispering, urging me, in the darkest of voices it would say:
"let go and rely on me."
I'm officially the best friend in the universe.
He took a second between bites and looked up at me with a scowl. "I never understood people who say, 'if I could do it again, I would do it the same,' even for favorable outcomes. I think people who rely on their mistakes for education are damn fools!"

Although I am fully aware that the Nyan Cat meme is about as old as Betty White in internet years, this ridiculous little two-week project was still a lot of fun, and was mainly for the purpose of determining how well I could pull off a wide range of musical styles in Logic. In a perfect world, this project would have been twice as long, but some genres are deceptively tough to reproduce with only a laptop at my disposal. In loving memory of Nyan Cat.

Can Sid the Kid keep it going?
11/29/11 in NHL | Debi_L | 11862 respect
It's just that big a deal.
Sidney Crosby returned to hockey 4 games ago and has amassed 9 points in those games. The Penguins weren't too shabby before Crosby returned, but many claim, with him back, the Pens are heading for another Stanley Cup. Personally, even though they are on top in the NHL, I wouldn't want to jump that far ahead in the predictions. (Yes, Bryan, I know you already have them winning the Cup).
Beating the Rangers isn't going to be a walk in the park, though. They are coming off back to back wins, beating the Washington Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers. Without Mark Staal on the roster, it will be more of a challenge.
The Flyers are resting tonight, but the Caps are back to work against the St. Louis Blues, for the only time this season. The Caps have a new coach in Dale Hunter. Boudreau was released as coach as the Caps lost 8 out of 11 of their last games.
The Blues also have a relatively new coach, and the change has paid off, with them winning 7 since the hiring of Ken Hitchcock. Washington will also have a challenge tonight.
For a change, I do get to see my Calgary Flames play. They line up against the Nashville Predators tonight, and while neither team is having a stellar year, Nashville has managed a couple of ties, and sits 4-2-2 to Calgary's 4-4-0. At least I get to watch them play against a team they might have a chance with. They beat the Wild in their most recent game, while the Preds beat the Oilers in the third game of their 5 game road trip.
The lineup for the night looks like this:
All times Eastern
New York Islanders at Buffalo Sabres
St. Louis Blues at Washington Capitals
Florida Panthers at Caroline Hurricanes
Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers
Ottawa Senators at Winnipeg Jets
Phoenix Coyotes at Chicago Blackhawks
Nashville Predators at Calgary Flames
Columbus Blue Jackets at Vancouver Canucks
So make your picks, talk some trash, follow the games, and join in here for all the fun.

NEW YORK (AP) - A Long Island grocery store owner has received a 15-year sentence for selling drugs from his business.
Jaime Corchado, of Baldwin, was convicted last month of selling a controlled substance and weapons possession. He was sentenced Tuesday.
Authorities say he sold the drugs from Louis' Deli & Grocery in Kew Gardens, Queens.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown says the 37-year-old defendant used his mom-and-pop grocery store as a front to traffic in narcotics.

Incidence of injuries with days away from work down again in 2001
January 03, 2003
At 1.7 cases per 100 workers in 2001, the rate for workplace injury and illness cases with days away from work declined from 1.8 in 2000 and was the lowest on record.
In 1991, the incidence rate of cases with days away from work was 3.2 cases per 100 workers. This rate has dropped 47 percent in the past 10 years, with at least some decline registered in every year.
The BLS Safety and Health Statistics program produced these data. The figures in this article pertain to injuries and illnesses in private industry workplaces.

Greenbox Technology Has Been Acquired
By Silver Spring Networks
We are thrilled to announce we have officially joined Silver Spring Networks, a leading provider of Smart Grid solutions. By joining the Silver Spring team, we can deploy our energy-management solution much faster and more broadly than we could alone. It's a winning combination for utilities and consumers.
Since launching our first deployment in 2008, we have been delighted to engage with the Smart Grid and Energy Management community to build innovative applications that empower consumers. We're excited to be joining Silver Spring in helping consumers lower their energy use, save money, and reduce their carbon footprint while helping utilities improve their customer satisfaction and load management. Both companies use IP-based, open web interfaces and standard data-access techniques, which simplifies the integration of the consumer energy portal with the utility's back-office systems and makes deployment faster and more cost effective.
We thank you for your interest in and support for Greenbox Technology, and we look forward to keeping you up to date on the Greenbox Portal under its new name, CustomerIQ™, as part of the Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform.
The Greenbox Team

Ride a Vintage Carousel with Rosemary
by Phil Warren
Please play the above file before continuing. Playing? Good. Good. Now you're ready. (Found on Grooveshark. Not hosted here, not uploaded by me)
Meet Rosemary. Rosemary has something that no one I've ever met before owns. She owns a vintage carousel. I had no idea this was possible. Located in the heart of Griffith Park, the Griffith Park Merry Go Round is hers. She rents the gazebo in which it sits, but in the event of, I dunno, Griffith Park becoming even more haunted, she can pack up her organ and her carousel and move it to greener pastures.
Rosemary is a self-declared preservationist. She delights in the history of antiques, and wishes only to bring them to the public. She explained the carousel was built in 1926, and still uses parts of the same design, right down to the 22′ drive belt that spins the ride at a whopping 14 mph. The real horse-hair tails may have to be replaced regularly, but the mix of children who delight in riding it and the film crews who revel in filming it supply the funds to keep the amusement alive.
Interesting fact: Rosemary explained that carousels were developed as a training tool for warriors, taking their name from the ancient Spanish word "carosella", which translates into "little war". Similar devices to modern day carousels would be mounted by warriors in training, who would toss delicate grenades of cologne back and forth. Should the warrior prove clumsy, the grenade would rupture, dousing the warrior in the sweet sweet melange of failure. This means that technically, if a merry go round contains animals other than horses, it is not a carousel. It is a menagerie.
What did I learn?
I learned I do not own enough carousels. I learned that a unique interest can manifest into a magical experience bestowed upon an entire populous. I learned that ignoring the rules of the carousel can lead to groin damage… please don't ignore the rules.
Mostly I was awestruck that Rosemary's preservationist bent could offer something so fantastic. I hope some Brave Newbies one day can offer so much delight to the world.

Elegant and robust steel gate that has been pre-treated for corrosion resistance
Elegant and robust steel gate that has been pre-treated for corrosion resistance
"Super fast delivery so impressed and the gate looks Brilliant. have painted it again in extreme matt black to ensure that it looks it's best and even picked out the hearts in Gold. As it was a dividing gate between myself and my neighbours and positioned under a black metal arch I think it looks perfect. So pleased I purchased this one and tremendous value for money."
"As described on the website. Easy installation. You need a drill with appropriate bits, a pair of spanners/wrenches, Phillips screw driver, spirit level and perhaps a couple of supports to hang it e.g. bricks. Can be a one man job but a bit easier with two. Good value for money in my opinion, though noticeably not as heavy as my previous iron gate (that was pinched by the scrap metal people when they spotted it falling from its' hinges!). The structure appears tubular i.e. hollow. I initially fixed this Wickes gate to a masonary wall which provided a very solid hold. However, due to mis-measurement on my part, ended up re-fixing it to a wooden gate post. This was wobbly to start with but rectified with epoxy. The latch doesn't seem to be right as there are parts of it that interfere with closure, so I have improvised my own latch. The raw product appears to be spray painted. A coat or two of paint is required for weather protection and cosmetic improvement."

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Great way to see Vienna. Would have liked to do more stops.
Fantastic fun a must try
Excellent tour overall...none of us had been on Segways before and the training was excellent. Our guide Ewalt was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made it fun and interesting for everyone ages 12 to 50. A great way to get to know the city and keep all ages engaged.
it was our first time on segways and we had a blast it took about 3 minutes to get use to operation and after that it was terrific. Our guide was very good and we got to quickly go places in old town Vienna it would have taken hours to get to any other way. Our guide was very informative and the staff at their office were very helpful and professional
We did this in the freezing cold and rain/snow mix, and loved it, great fun.
Excellent experience! Best activity for family with teens in Vienna. Highly recommended!
Hi I was worried about navigating through traffic however this was not a problem as lots of paths to ride on. They were easy to use, and lots of fun. On cooler days wrap up warm as a bit of a breeze on the Segway. Good value for money we were also in a uk group so no language problems.
Horst was a knowledgeable tour guide and very personable to all of us in the group. He taught us many things about history and culture of Austria, which would be useful in my future visits. It was nice to drive around the city using Segway. I highly recommended this tour for anyone visiting Vienna for the first time.
Excellent tour!. Equipment, guide, and itinerary were topnotch.
It was very exciting and fun experience. It was not difficult as I thought, we could manage to do it in 10 minutes. We went to all important places. I would like to recommend everyone to take this tour. Vienna is a big city, it is quite difficult to explore in details without Segway. I love it.
Wow, this was a fantastic tour, the segways are easy to handle, the training is both professional and casual. The tour guide (Hurst) was fantastic, his knowledge of Vienna both old and new was great, he also gave great tips on places to see, eat etc. that as a tourist you find out about to late, if at all. Would happily undertake this tour again.
Unbelievable, great fun, great guide. 6.30 was a fantastic time to do it too!!
Highly recommend it.

Vienna has so much to see and this was the way to do it - a great overview. Our guide was excellent and we had just the right amount of time to spend at each stop. But the real FUN was the Segway itself! What a hoot. It took only ten minutes to become proficient with it. I would have enjoyed keeping it after the tour. Unfortunately, all good things must end.
Perfect way to see the city in just 3 hours. Segway was fun to use. Guide was very informative. Best of all it was just the two of us, so a private tour of Vienna gave us more flexibility to see other sights as well.
This was a great tour! Natalie, our tour guide, did a terrific job with humor and charm. I was worried about keeping my balance on the Segway and the traffic congestion, but it was easy. It was a great way to get an overview of the city and become oriented to where key sights were located without burying my nose in a map. We had a blast and and I will look for tours in other cities.

After three hours of rides, games and activities at the 15th Annual Fetal Family Reunion, 2½ year old Taylor was tired. Her brother Dillon, however, was still full of pep.
All Smiles
Clinicians at CHOP helped create smiles for Dillon (front) and his family. The 5½-year-old was born with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) and underwent surgery to remove the tumor after birth. For more photos from the reunion, see our slide show.
At 5½ years old, the brown-haired boy with freckles dotting his nose and cheeks could not stand still.
"My best ride was the merry-go-round," Dillon said, then continued running in circles in the cafeteria where his family had sought air conditioning and a cool drink.
Every few minutes, Dillon would poke his tired sister – to her dismay. He wanted her to play too. She just wanted to rest on dad.
Parents Heather and Patrick Pfeffer, of Williamstown, NJ, smiled at the sibling shenanigans and told Patrick to leave his sister alone.
The family comes to the reunion almost every year, Heather said.
"It reminds us of what we went through with Dillon, how scared we were and how far we've come," Heather said. Looking at her lively son, she said, "He's doing so well now."
Dillon was diagnosed prenatally at CHOP with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), a cystic or solid lung tumor. Born at 32 weeks gestation at Pennsylvania Hospital, Dillon only weighed 3 lbs., 9 oz., Heather said.
He needed to get stronger before he could have surgery at CHOP," she said. She and her husband were able to take Dillon home, where he grew bigger and stronger.
When he was 4 months old, the couple brought Dillon to CHOP for surgery.
"That was probably the scariest time for me," Heather said. "We had this wonderful baby at home with us, had bonded with him and seen him grow, and we had to bring him back to the hospital for such a serious surgery."
The surgery to remove the tumor was a success, and after two days in the N/IICU at CHOP, Dillon went home again.
"We come to the reunion to remember," Heather said. "It really put everything in focus. When you come so close to losing a child, you learn to embrace every moment."

Sloane Delani's Birth Story
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 08-25-2010 - 11:16am
Only an month later :)
Sloane Delani arrived on July 30th....only 12 days early lol. Here's the short and sweet birth story.
I started having mild contractions on Thursday. Nothing too bad but def there. Then, about 3 Friday morning they started hitting every 10-15 min. I called the dr office first thing that morning to see if they could squeeze me in and see how far I was dialating. We went in about 10 am and I was at a 3 and 80%. So, the dr said it could either take off in 10 minutes or 2 days. Since we live 30 min from our hospital we decided to go walk around Walmart and see if that helped. They didn't get any closer together so we headed home. We were home for maybe 30 min and my contractions started getting about every 5 min apart and pretty significant. We loaded up and headed back over. Got to labor and delivery at about 2:45 pm and got checked and was still at a 3 but was 100% effaced and my bag of water was "right there". The nurse (who graduated from the same high school as me a yr before I did) went and talked to the dr and he said to go ahead and admit me. The dr came in at about 330 and broke my water. Contractions got really intense about 6:00 and I was pushing at 6:15. Sloane arrived at 7:07 pm weighing 7 lbs 5.5 oz and 21 in long. I got thru the whole thing with no drugs (didn't even take the pain meds they sent me home with) but did have to have an episiotomy. The dr said he was going to have to make a little room and I just remember saying "MAN!" which everyone got a good chuckle out of lol. My mom and Matt's mom both ended up staying in the delivery room (I left that decision up to Matt) with us which was really nice. My MIL has all boys and I was glad she got the opportunity to see a grandchild come into the world.
Sloane is an AMAZING baby and looks just like her Daddy. Right after they handed her to me, I said if I hadn't just pushed her from my body I wouldn't believe she's mine cause she looks NOTHING like me :). She is super easy and took to nursing like a champ. She is growing way too fast already and I wish time would slow down a little. Here all this time I wanted time to hurry and now I just wish it wouldn't pass so quickly.
Well that's my short and sweet story. I guess it can't be too long since things went so fast.
(The first pic is in the hospital, pic #2 is first day home, and pic #3 is 3 weeks old)

Pregnancy after breast cancer
Sexuality after breast cancer
Concerns about sexuality are often very worrisome to a woman with breast cancer. Several factors may place a woman at higher risk for sexual problems after breast cancer. Physical changes (such as those after surgery) may make a woman less comfortable with her body. Some treatments for breast cancer, such as chemotherapy, can change a woman's hormone levels and may negatively affect sexual interest and/or response. A diagnosis of breast cancer when a woman is in her 20s or 30s can be especially difficult because choosing a partner and childbearing are often very important during this period.
Suggestions that may help a woman adjust to changes in her body image include looking at and touching herself; seeking the support of others, preferably before surgery; involving her partner as soon as possible after surgery; and openly communicating feelings, needs, and wants created by her changed image.
Sexual impact of surgery and radiation
The most common sexual side effects stem from damage to a woman's feelings of attractiveness. In our culture, we are taught to view breasts as a basic part of beauty and femininity. If her breast has been removed, a woman may be insecure about whether her partner will accept her and find her sexually pleasing.
The breasts and nipples are also sources of sexual pleasure for many women. Touching the breasts is a common part of foreplay in our culture. For many women, breast stimulation adds to sexual excitement.
Treatment for breast cancer can interfere with pleasure from breast caressing. After a mastectomy, the whole breast is gone. Some women still enjoy being stroked around the area of the healed scar. Others dislike being touched there and may no longer even enjoy being touched on the remaining breast and nipple. Some women who have had a mastectomy may feel self-conscious in sex positions where the area of the missing breast is more visible.
Breast surgery or radiation to the breasts does not physically decrease a woman's sexual desire. Nor does it decrease her ability to have vaginal lubrication or normal genital feelings, or to reach orgasm. Some good news from recent research is that within a year after their surgery, most women with early-stage breast cancer have good emotional adjustment and sexual satisfaction. They report a quality of life similar to women who never had cancer.
A few women have chronic pain in their chests and shoulders after radical mastectomy. During intercourse, supporting these areas with pillows and avoiding positions where your weight rests on your chest or arms may help.
If you had breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy, the breast may be scarred. It also may be a different shape or size. During radiation therapy, the skin may become red and swollen. The breast also may be a little tender. Feeling in the breast and nipple, however, should return to normal.
Sexual impact of breast reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores the shape of the breast, but it cannot restore normal breast sensation. The nerve that supplies feeling to the nipple runs through the deep breast tissue, and it gets disconnected during surgery. In a reconstructed breast, the feeling of pleasure from touching the nipple is lost. A rebuilt nipple has much less feeling.
In time, the skin on the reconstructed breast will regain some sensitivity but probably will not give the same kind of pleasure as before mastectomy. Breast reconstruction often makes women more comfortable with their bodies, however, and helps them feel more attractive.
Effect on your partner
Relationship issues are also important because the cancer diagnosis can be very distressing for the partner, as well as the patient. Partners are usually concerned about how to express their love physically and emotionally after treatment, especially surgery. Breast cancer can be a growth experience for couples under certain circumstances. The relationship may be enhanced if the partner takes part in decision-making and goes with the woman to surgery and other treatments.

Alex & me : how a scientist and a parrot discovered a hidden world of animal int

What other readers are saying about this title:
Ryner said:
This is the story of Alex, an African Grey parrot who was the subject of Irene Pepperberg's 30-year experiment in animal intelligence.
As someone who is convinced we humans do not give other animals due credit when it comes to intelligence, I was ready to be wowed by Alex. While Alex's intellect was impressive, Pepperberg's writing left something to be desired. To start, it takes her 50 pages (of a 226-page book) to actually begin the story, and spends entirely too much time talking about herself. I was disappointed in the book's brevity and overall lack of detail about his leaning progress, particularly when it came down to technique and the methods used to test his intelligence. I would happily have digested a book twice this size in exchange for more fascinating detail.
For another, better written take on avian intelligence, try 'Wesley the Owl.'

Here's some brand new Hoodie that just dropped today, it's "Make It Home" with Kina Grannis guesting on the chorus vocals. Since the release of Crew Cuts, I've been waiting for Hoodie to put out some new songs and this doesn't disappoint. It's some really great original stuff - Hoodie kills the rhymes as always - that's not to say I don't miss the days of his samples from Pep Rally and Leap Year because a lot of those songs are my favorites of his. You can get the song off Youtube or support Hoodie and buy the single off iTunes.

Wow, way to go regurgitating Pascal's pathetic wager. Unfortunately, when you weigh the number of religions in the world, and the dogmatic separations that exist within christianity alone, that "If we're right you have everything to gain" nonsense holds absolutely no water. I have more of a chance of dying in a fight protecting my family and going to Valhalla than following a set of dogmas to get into Heaven. And it's funny cuz all heaven means is "Sky." IF I want to spend time in the sky I'll buy a plane ticket.
By the way, prayer is a waste of time. This has been determined scientifically. The source for that? Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion," which lists the original source for the double-blind study that proves that prayer does NOTHING.
I suppose you'll pull out the "God's time is different than ours" or "IT's about faith, so if god acted in that study it would remove the need for faith."
Faith is weakness. Faith is foolishness. Faith is a fear tool. Faith is the biggest plague mankind has wrought upon itself. It's the easiest out of an argument that allows one to cling to their outdated and useless religions.
To JPC,
My whole point about Pascal's wager is that it is outdated and meaningless, and in fact has always been meaningless because it assumes that there's a 50/50 chance that there is or is not a single, christian god. It's flawed, overly simplified, and is one of the arguing points I hear belched out of the hive mind that consists of members of the christian faith. It doesn't take into account the 9,998 other religions that existed at the time, or the multiple gods of the majority of those religions. When you weigh those odds out with all the factors of the modern world, christianity has a 0.002% of being correct. That's something for EVERYONE to think about. Almost every single religions that exists claims that it is the one true path to salvation/enlightenment/eternal bliss in the next life. If you look at every god ever dreamed up, in every religion in existence, you would easily see that ALL gods were created in MAN'S image, not the other way around. Every god is either human or anthropomorphic. There's no arguing that point. Not a single deity exists in all of mythology that isn't at least half human.
To Nicholas,
DUH, Pakicetus is a land mammal. That's the entire point. But if you follow the evolutionary path of all the other fossils I listed (Which isn't even close to the complete transitional list in the fossil record of land mammal to aquatic mammal evolution) you'll see the progression.
If whales didn't evolve from land animals, then find me something in the creation story that explains why whales and dolphins have vestigial appendages?
The problem with the entire book of Genesis, and in fact the bible itself, is that all references to animals are clearly the mere result of the observation of the bronze age tribesmen that wrote it. It says that bats are birds. We know better. I don't want to hear that "Well, man classified the animals into different groups blah blah blah." Sure, we did, but we did so through observation of what separates different species. And those traits haven't changed at all in millions of years, since the fist mammals evolved. You put stock in a book that up until extremely recent translatsions (Everything from the New King James version to everything written after it.) says that unicorns, satyrs, cockatrices, dragons, fairies, and other such mythological creatures exist.
The bible says that a whale or giant fish swallowed a man whole. There is not nor ever has been a whale or fish that could swallow a man whole. Whales have throats that are far too small for that, and even the largest fish to ever exist alongside humans could never pull that off. There is no reference to digestive fluids in that story either, once again proving that they new nothing at all of biology, zoology, or anything of the sort, and were merely making up stories based on what they assumed, not facts.
To Winston,
Indeed, there is nothing about religion that deserves respect. In fact, if it wasn't for the brutal actions of every religion that has ever come to power, including that of the catholic church or the puritans in the early US, religion wouldn't have made it out of the dark ages. It has been traditionalized through fear, violence, and murder. There is a saying I hear often, and it disturbs me that it has become accepted as some sort of universal truth. "Never discuss religion and politics." Well, Religion and Politics, and the fundamentalism they both carry, are the biggest problems mankind has every endured and kept alive. You can never fix a problem without discussing it, and yet religion is somehow an off-limits, taboo subject. It gets undeserved, unnecessary respect. It must be abolished. Yes, politics too. Because not a single political system has ever worked. Ever. Even the one we live in is failing, and has been failing miserably however slowly for over 100 years. We're all human beings. There's no reason for us to be divided by such idiotic and childish things as religion or political party. Or even money. They're all trivial things, and when they're eliminated things will be a lot more peaceful.

Mike Smith of Durham said he was walking on a side street near the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Thursday when he saw police open fire on a car that had just led authorities on a chase near the White House.
"I was walking away from the Capitol by the Supreme Court," Smith told WNCN by phone. He said he heard sirens but did not think much of them since sirens are a common sound in the area.
Smith said he noticed the sirens getting louder when he saw the intersection ahead of him was blocked off by law enforcement.
"At that time, I saw about four policemen come around the building I was beside," Smith said. "Their guns drawn and saw one of the policemen shoot the car, six, seven times."
Inside the car was 34-year-old Miriam Carey and a year-old child. Carey had led Secret Service and police on chase from the White House past the Capitol, attempting to penetrate the security barriers at both national landmarks, police said.
Smith said he quickly took shelter in a nearby doorway and got down.
"I was at an angle where if there was going to be a gun fight, I would be in the return fire," he said.
Smith said he stayed in the doorway two or three minutes after the shooting stopped.
"I was just trying to make sure I was OK."
Smith said he never thought what he was witnessing was terrorism.
"It looked like a little black sports car," he said. "I was a block behind the Capitol so I thought it was just a car chase."
He said he felt fine just a few short hours after the incident but at the time it was "nerve wracking."
Carey was killed during the incident. The child in the car was unharmed, police said.

CARTER FOSTER: A building very much like Early Sunday Morning forms the background of Nighthawks. Early Sunday Morning represents daytime. Nighthawks represents nighttime.
Here, the overarching subject matter would be times of day and the passing of time, day to night. It's also about memory and the way that the urban environment changes. I think that we can look at the paintings together and they enrich each other and give us a larger context that Hopper was thinking about when he made both works.

Super-easy, the simple no-cook prep makes the final grill-to-table fast and easy. This is a great summer meal, would be perfect for a bbq party, doubled for 8. Made to recipe using sirloin (on sale) and garlic ciabatta, no oil spray needed. Very good.
Grilled Steak Panzanella with Pickled Vegetables
Photo: Kenji Toma; Food Styling: Karen Evans; Prop Styling: Michele Faro
Use the bottom part of ciabatta for this salad. The crusty, flat surface is easier to grill and provides more crunch. Don't skip the delicious pickled vegetable topping--it's earthy, crunchy, sweet-sour, and welcome in every bite.
Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: about 1 2/3 cups salad and 1/3 cup carrot mixture)

If the reports are true, then Beyonce is just a few signatures away from closing on a $5.9 million mansion for her mom, Tina Knowles . That's according to the UK newspaper Daily Mail , which reports that Bey has her sights set on a massive, resort-style home located in Texas' upscale Piney Point Village. The crib is minutes away from Bey's hometown, Houston.
An online listing for the spectacular estate reveals a slew of amenities, including a game room, fitness room and home theater, along with four kitchens and 12 bathrooms. In addition to a curved, outdoor swimming pool, there are two jacuzzis, including one overlooking the lush gardens of the property.
Miss Tina will have her pick of eight bedrooms inside the 23,562-square-foot mansion, with its walnut and cherry wood hardwood floors. The decked-out master suite features a marble fireplace, ornate wall designs and two walk-in closets.
This wouldn't be the first crib that Beyonce's purchased for her mom. In 2004, the singer reportedly bought a massive Houston mansion for Miss Tina. That property was listed for $3.34 million in 2011, according to realtor.com .

Weeknight Meal Tip: Frozen Homemade Stock Portions
One thing that helps us make delicious, healthy meals on the fly is a freezer full of portioned homemade stock of all kinds - vegetable, crab, chicken, beef, etc.
Stock can be portioned in small plastic freezer containers or in freezer-safe plastic bags. There are many uses for stock; making mashed potatoes (boiling potatoes in stock instead of water gives them more flavor), sauces, or quick soups. One easy weeknight meal that we love to make is to dump some stock in a pot, warm it up, and add some egg noodles and some shredded leftover chicken and chopped veggies.
Stocks can also be used to cook rice or couscous (in place of water,) to reheat leftover stir-fries, moisten casseroles before reheating, and as a replacement for oil and butter - meats and vegetables can be sauteed in stock.
Stock is quite easy to make and is one of our favorite weekend projects. We like a big pot of stock simmering on the stove all day while we relax and read a book or catch up on the house chores - it makes the house smell warm and cozy. We plan ahead for stock by saving up chicken bones, beef or veal marrow bones, and crab shells in the freezer, along with some onions, carrots, and celery. Stock can be made on the stovetop or in a crockpot.

There's nothing quite as delicious as homemade stock. I also freeze stock in ice cube trays then place them in a container in the freezer. It's easy to pop a couple into a stir fry or add to rice. My Golden Retriever LOVES them too!
I use up most of my stock making risotto, one of the easiest weeknight meals. A simple cheese and onion risotto with good chicken stock is a thing to behold.

tl;dr: If you want your spam filter to work it is best to have your plug-in activated.
Oh. My. Goodness. It has been a nightmare here for months. I have had spam running out the whazzoo and have not been able to control it. Spam took over my comments. I take a wee break from the blog and all of a sudden I have over 3,000 comments. All of them spam but not marked as spam. I start marking them spam and after some time I'm overwhelmed and log out. I should have had the smarts to check my plug-in but why would I have deactivated it so why should I check it? Or better yet, why would I even have that thought because I'm in a panic so I can't think straight. I tell hubby. He checks it. He does some research and suggests I change my password. I change my password and immediately forget it. I'm good like that.
Fast forward to yesterday. I'm in the mood to tackle some of the spam but can't remember my password. I have the password reset sent to my blog email. Blog email can't open because server is having problems. I also noticed I have over 396,000 emails waiting for me to deal with them. I'm pretty sure it's all spam. At this point I want to bang my head on something but I won't because it will hurt so I'll mentally do it. The awesome sys admin hubby comes to the rescue. He backed up my blog database and deleted all spam. I don't know how long he worked on this mess but it was a long time. He's awesome. He also did it while sick. I think he deserves a medal. I'll have to remember to give him one of his half marathon medals hanging on the wall as a token of my appreciation.
I checked the blog this morning and the spam filter is working. YAY! I also happened to remember my new password (hubby found a work around for that one also). Here's to hoping I can get back to blogging to whenever the blog bug bites. We all know by now it's not frequent.

Getting Started
Maps and Atlases
Sanborn Fire Insurance
Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps are highly detailed city plans providing researchers with a wealth of information about urban change in American cities. These maps were originally produced between 1867 and 1970 for the purpose of assessing risk and cost of insurance. The highly detailed plans were drawn at a scale of 50 feet/inch (1:600), printed in color, and record detailed information about streets, businesses, residences, building materials, and utilities.
ProQuest has taken the Chadwyck-Healey Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps microfilm collection, some 660,000 maps, and enhanced and digitized the maps. Since the maps have been digitized from the microfilm version, the ProQuest product is in black & white rather than in color as were the original paper maps. The ProQuest interface to Sanborn Maps provides the ability to easily manipulate the maps, magnify and zoom in on specific sections, and compare maps from different years.
Public Access to maps covering North Carolina is available to researchers within NC through NC LIVE using your public or school library account. The direct link through NC LIVE is http://www.nclive.org/cgi-bin/nclsm?rsrc=140. Outside of NC, contact your public or school library and inquire about access to Proquest Sanborn Maps.
NCSU Access to maps for the entire United States is available to NCSU affiliates (faculty, staff, and students). Click here for the proxy server link. If you're off campus, you'll be asked for your UNITY login and password. If on campus, you'll go straight through.
NCSU Libraries additionally acquired from ProQuest the original TIFF files of the North Carolina maps. The collection includes 11,173 large-scale maps of 158 North Carolina towns and cities. Click here for a list of NC maps available and their coverage dates (PDF, 39KB). The original TIFF images of the maps are saved on the Geodata Server in the /sanborn/nc folder (NCSU only access).

I am so sad My nursing relationship with DD3 is awful. She is my last baby and I don't even enjoy nursing her
I don't know what the problem is. She is VERY distracted. Nursing her has always been kind of tough but lately it's awful. She pops on and off like crazy, she arches, she cries, she clamps down and pulls back (so unpleasant!), etc. She will suck for 5 mins and that is it. She rarely gets sleepy or relaxed. It's really so depressing. I am almost ready to pump and bottle feed since I am getting nothing out of it but feeling frustrated and burdened. At least then DH could help.
I would say maybe she is teething but my other kids didn't get their first tooth until 13 months. I know every kid is different so I guess it's possible but I doubt it. I do remember the others doing this but not this badly. I remember DD2 being distracted because DD1 was around. DD3 just can't focus at all. I also get constant plugged ducts - I don't know why. Maybe she isn't emptying the breast enough?
She seems to be gaining/growing so I assume she is getting enough yet she is always acting like she wants it - being fussy and turning her head but if I let her have it she pops on and off until I can't take it anymore and have to stop.
I am thinking about trying to space out her feedings more? Right now I whip it out all the time because she is so fussy I feel like I don't know what else to do.... I am at a loss....

Oh my god no, no, no!!! It didn't have to be this way The Walking Dead. Dammit!
When I said the last few episodes were moving along slowly, I didn't mean that I wanted you to kill off my favorite character! Scratch that: my best friend.
This Sorrowful Life indeed...
If you're one of those people that doesn't watch The Walking Dead until like five days later, sorry, that's on you. When you make life decisions like that you're basically sacrificing your right to not have the shocking plot twists spoiled for you. And if you want to avoid those traps, it's your responsibility to stay off of the dang Internet!
Ahh, who am I kidding. I'm just rambling now because I'm such a distraught mess after watching one of my heroes die. I can hardly see this stupid keyboard cause of all these tears in my eyes...Why are these dumb keys all salty and wet? Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together.
OK, here we go.
This episode was honestly awesome, and one of the best I can remember in a long time (at least since Clear a few episodes back), which is no surprise considering that it was directed by special effects master and gore guru Greg Nicotero. (His other episodes were I Ain't A Judas, Say the Word and Judge, Jury, Executioner)
But Merle! My boy, my boy, my boy Merle...
What made Merle's departure all the more painful was that we got to see him at his absolute pinnacle in this episode.
He actually started to get along with Michonne. Nobody liked racist, sexist Merle, but I think this showed that he really was a redeemable character. Michonne even let him chop off a zombie's head with her Ninja Gaiden sword! Then again, that should have been a hint. Anytime a callous character starts to get along with others in this show, it means they're about to die. (See: Axel, Oscar, umm ... wasn't there a character named Don who did the same thing?)
I thought that they were going to kill off a character this week, but I assumed it was going to be some inconsequential moving piece of scenery like Carol or that guy Harold who is always saying catch phrases. Even when they went to commercial break after the Governor pulled the trigger I assumed he had just shot him in the shoulder or something.
If you're like me, and you like Merle for his hard livin', then you loved seeing him hot-wire an old beater, booze it up in front of a dive bar and listen to Motorhead. OMG if I had any wish it would be to be in the passenger seat of that demolition derby wreck of a car with Merle, sipping out of a plastic pint flask of Kentucky Gentleman as zombies groped at the filthy windows around us. I'd skip to "(We Are) The Road Crew" on the Motorhead's greatest hits disc and at first Merle would look over like 'Hey you trying to lose a hand?" and then the song would start with that awesome guitar riff and crashing cymbals and he'd just start nodding like "Yeah!!! I think we're gonna get along JUST fine!"
Oh Merle, I already miss you so very much...
OK, back on track.
I haven't even mentioned the proposal and engagement of Maggie and Glenn! I mean, it doesn't really bear mentioning because it's kind of a television cliche to just have a wedding or something and it feels like something major happened. But it was kind of sweet to see Glenn ask Hersh for Maggie's hand in marriage. I have a cold heart of stone but I was still like "Oh, if you two crazy kids can't find love in this world then who can!?"
And you know Hershel was just loving it because his pure white sniffer tickler started twitching all about like a d'ug's nose and little bits of fairy dust twinkled to the floor as his eyes sparkled and there were sound effects like a chime being sounded.
Oh, some other humans died too. Several randoms bought it when Merle attacked the Governor's stronghold, and Allen's son Ben. Uhh, sorry you got eaten by zombies Ben but forgive me if I'm not bawling my eyes out over here. You hardly said one damn thing during your entire stint on the show, your dad Allen was a jackass, and I've got much better friends to mourn than you. RIP Ben (sarcasm). (FYI Merle was the zombie eating Ben. LOL.)
Stream of consciousness blogging: I've been so caught up in losing Merle that I haven't summarized what happened in this episode.
Rick wracks his bean over whether or not he should fork over Michonne to the Governor (this was a dumb side plot all along because: A. it was a bad idea, and 2. it wouldn't work). Why would it be such a bad idea? Umm, hello? Have you ever seen how sick Michonne is setting up barbed wire tire traps and decapitating zombies heads? Instead of handing her over to end 'the war' you should just use her to help end the war. It would be like throwing an Uzi into a fire to try to put out the fire, when you should have just used the Uzi to threaten the man who started the fire to put it out. Or shoot him and put it out yourself. (The man who started the fire is the Governor...)
Anyway, Merle slashes up a really uncomfortable looking mattress (it was not a Sleep Number) looking for 'dope', and then has a heart-to-heart with his brother Daryl. More on that later.

It is the fear of life and its symptoms that ruins life for us all. Our mission is to bring to all of humanity the news of the simple act of inward looking that eliminates the fear of life once and for all.
Thank you for joining us in this great adventure.
RiverGanga Foundation is the organization that makes possible the work of John and Carla Sherman. The Foundation serves this purpose by using the money donated to it to purchase the equipment, services, and utilities needed to conduct that work.
RiverGanga Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that operates as a 509(a)(2) public charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, and under the authority and supervision of the Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board. The Foundation is required by law to substantiate the basis of its not-for-profit, tax-exempt status by filing annual financial reports and statements of activities with the IRS and the State of California Franchise Tax Board.
Since practically all of the income to the Foundation comes from relatively small donations, the Foundation is considered a Public Charity by the IRS. And that means that if you itemize your deductions, you will pay no income tax on donations made to us.
Because of its status as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, the RiverGanga Foundation is able to purchase many goods and services, including computers, software, and services at steep discounts, since corporations can deduct donations of goods and services from their taxable income. The online webinar software, donated by Citrix, is an example of this. To take advantage of the level of service that we enjoy now because of their donation, it would cost the foundation $500 a month, which is to say there would be no online meetings at all.
RiverGanga Foundation also has purchased and owns all of the computers, software, audio and video equipment, web services, and even the van we use to travel to events.
In more down-to-earth terms, RiverGanga Foundation is John and Carla Sherman, living in a rental house in Ojai, California. The top half of the house is given over to the office, with all the stuff accumulated in more than fourteen years of operation.
|John Sherman - President & CEO
|Carla Sherman - Executive Director
RiverGanga Foundation is John and Carla, each working an average of 10 hours a day, every day of the week:
Since 2011, RiverGanga Foundation, which is to say all of us, since nothing happens without your support, has taken on a breathtaking project: the worldwide propagation of the simple idea of inward looking at the experience of being me to enough people so that everyone has a chance to at least hear of it.

A map on the DFC Web site shows locations and status of 2008 grantees.
More than 500 new grantees, mentors, trainers, and prevention professionals attended the first 2009 training for the Drug Free Communities Support (DFC) program.
Frances M. Harding, Director of SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, welcomed new grantees to the 3-day training, which took place in Washington, DC, January 5 to 7. Each coalition was asked to bring two people to the training.
For the mentoring sessions, sessions were planned "one on one" for reviewing and critiquing each new coalition's Logic Model, Strategic Plan, and the actual proposal written in response to the 2008 request for applications.
Coalitions that succeeded in winning a grant in 2008 followed specific guidelines, which are listed online on the Drug Free Communities Web site.
Those coalition guidelines include the following:

A Leader in Patient-Focused Healthcare
People these days are increasingly concerned about having timely access to their physician. Their worries are constantly validated by long waits and hurried appointments, during which they sometimes don't even see a doctor. Priority Physicians brings a solution to these problems by offering a whole new way to look at healthcare. Preventive medicine. Comprehensive healthcare. Timely access. A trusted physician who knows and cares about you. While our current healthcare system might make these ideas seem unrealistic, they are fundamentals at Priority Physicians. We consider these to be core benefits of working with our practice – benefits that have already dramatically changed and improved the lives of hundreds of Indiana families.
So how are we able to make such a profound difference in the lives of our members? Priority Physicians maintains a patient population that is reduced by over 90% of the volume found in a traditional primary care practice, a range narrow even for concierge medicine. This allows us to be proactive in managing the wellness of our patients and ensures that we are available anytime they need us. This also enables the development of close personal relationships with our patients, a prospect desired by so many healthcare consumers and yet often viewed as unattainable. In fact, Exceptional Service and Dedication to the Individual are among the core values that make Priority Physicians unique in the world of primary healthcare.
We feel privileged to practice medicine in this way and invite you to learn more about how we can make a difference in your life!
