Follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/meglanker — I'm going for the hat trick tonight with all THREE of the GOP responses.
As such, I'm breaking my own personal rule about tweeting under the influence and have Angry Orchard cider and a bottle of Arbor Mist on deck. Such fun!
If I get thrown in twitter jail, I'll move here. Don't forget, you don't need a tweeter to read the feed, just a strong stomach once the POTUS ends and the GOP trainwreck begins.
Catch you at 9 PM EST!
My New Year's resolution: Get off every OFA and Obama email list somehow, considering unsubscribe just seems to get more emails.
I have no money to give, and I've never donated. Ever. So my record of support is $0. The audacity of hope springs eternal, I guess.
Whereas, on August 21, 2013, the Syrian government carried out a chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus, Syria, killing more than 1,000 innocent Syrians;
Whereas these flagrant actions were in violation of international norms and the laws of war;
Whereas the United States and 188 other countries comprising 98 percent of the world's population are parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the development, production, acquisition, stockpiling or use of chemical weapons;
Whereas, in the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, Congress found that Syria's acquisition of weapons of mass destruction threatens the security of the Middle East and the national security interests of the United States;
Whereas the United Nations Security Council, in Resolution 1540 (2004), affirmed that the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons constitutes a threat to international peace and security;
Whereas, the objective of the United States' use of military force in connection with this authorization should be to deter, disrupt, prevent, and degrade the potential for, future uses of chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas, the conflict in Syria will only be resolved through a negotiated political settlement, and Congress calls on all parties to the conflict in Syria to participate urgently and constructively in the Geneva process; and
Whereas, unified action by the legislative and executive branches will send a clear signal of American resolve.
(a) Authorization. — The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in connection with the use of chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in the conflict in Syria in order to —
(1) prevent or deter the use or proliferation (including the transfer to terrorist groups or other state or non-state actors), within, to or from Syria, of any weapons of mass destruction, including chemical or biological weapons or components of or materials used in such weapons; or
(2) protect the United States and its allies and partners against the threat posed by such weapons.
(b) War Powers Resolution Requirements. —
(1) Specific Statutory Authorization. — Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, the Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution.
(2) Applicability of other requirements. — Nothing in this joint resolution supersedes any requirement of the War Powers Resolution.
So here's actually what Obama is proposing. This is not necessarily just airstrikes and not limited to Syria in particular. Rather, this resolution looks quite a bit more like the post-9/11 authorization in terms of open-endedness.
The bit about the War Powers Resolution is intended to address previous legislation that says the President can't do indefinite military actions without Congressional approval. (Short military actions are allowed, which is what most people thought Obama was planning before he started talking about Congressional approval.) So basically that part says that this is a formal authorization to carry out military actions and the time limit and related restrictions don't apply.
Legislators are all talking about amending the resolution but it's not clear how much support they'll have. Expect the legislative process to begin next week, because (not even kidding) Congress members haven't deigned to return from summer vacation to start talking about authorizing a war just yet.
Okay, this is pretty goddamn frightening.
Also, the conflict in Syria is SUCH A THREAT OMG DO SOMETHING NOW… but not until we get back from vacation. Because vacation, you guys.
I can't even….
No one disagrees that the use of chemical weapons in Syria is despicable, and the results tragic. However, those facts alone do not make going to war either justified or even a good idea. And while the Administration can parse words all day long, launching missiles or dropping bombs constitutes going to war.
There is no clear U.S. interest in what is, in reality, a civil war on the other side of the globe. Likewise, there is nothing to indicate at this time that intervening in that civil war will benefit anyone — either here in America or in Syria.
The consequences of our military actions in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan should be a lesson to President Obama and others who appear determined to act without any meaningful strategic or national defense justification.

I'm seeing my Obama-supporting friends cheering all over FB about weed and gay rights, and reaffirming their support for the president — right or wrong.
These policy changes are all well and good, but my paranoid brain keeps thinking, "Shit. This means we're bombing Syria tomorrow."
Tomorrow marks an interesting day in the state of Wyoming. Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment well [sic] be held at several different locations around the Casper area. The event begins at noon, August 2nd and begins at I-25 as an "open vehicle" (motorcycles, convertibles, jeeps, etc.) protest that will last until everyone is too tired to perform any longer.
Goddammit, Wyoming. Really? The journalism here AND the protest just kills me…

USAGE: "President Obama has thrown allies like Israel under the bus even as he has relaxed sanctions on Castro's Cuba." -Mitt Romney's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, August 30, 2012
DC DECODER DEFINITION: The first use of the phrase "under the bus" can be traced to a 1984 article in the Washington Post headlined, "Pensive, With Orange Hair; Cyndi Lauper & Her Tunes on Tour." Reporter David Remnick wrote: "In the rock 'n' roll business, you are either on the bus or under it."
Originally, the phrase was used to describe someone in show business or athletics who was past their prime and was sacrificed, essentially thrown under the tour bus.
In a political context, the definition has shifted to describe a trusted ally or supporter who is undeservingly cut loose from a campaign or scapegoated out of spite, embarrassment, or personal gain.
The phrase certainly qualifies as a cliché. On an April 2008 edition of NPR's Fresh Air, linguist Geoff Nunberg reported "under the bus" was used over, "400 times in the past six months" in news stories describing the primary and candidates.
That same election cycle, Washington Post writer David Segal pleaded for fellow correspondents to stop using the phrase, writing:
"Waiting on a sidewalk or already onboard — either way, 'thrown under the bus' fails to capture a key dimension of all this road rage. For the candidates, the point is not to inflict pain. It's to ditch a problem that is a drag on momentum, to regain speed."
Unfortunately for Nunberg, Segal, and the rest of us, the use of "under the bus" shows no sign of abating, but accelerated in the 2012 campaign season – much like a metaphorical campaign bus speeding away from its latest émigré.

Check out my entry for The Christian Science Monitor's DC Decoder project! "Under the bus" is one of the most irritating political clichés in existence. Hence, me choosing to define it. Thanks to DC Decoder for the opportunity!
Flat-out immoral:
A coal company headed by a prominent Mitt Romney donor has laid off more than 160 workers in response to President Obama's election victory. Murray Energy said Friday that it had been "forced" to make the layoffs in response to the bleak prospects for the coal industry during Obama's second term.
In a prayer circulated by the company, CEO Robert Murray said Americans had voted "in favor of redistribution, national weakness and reduced standard of living and lower and lower levels of personal freedom." "The American people have made their choice. They have decided that America must change its course, away from the principals [sic] of our Founders," Murray said in the prayer, which was delivered in a meeting with staff members earlier this week.
"Lord, please forgive me and anyone with me in Murray Energy Corporation for the decisions that we are now forced to make to preserve the very existence of any of the enterprises that you have helped us build."
Wanna guess which company it is? Yeah, that one:
Footage from the rally was used in a Romney ad. Workers in the spot later complained to a local radio host that they were forced to attend the rally and weren't paid for the time.
There IS no forgiveness for petty sons of bitches like yourself, putting people out of work for nothing more than spite.
Hi Tumblr, it's me, a slightly older person…
I see a lot of you 20 somethings saying things about how you aren't going to choose the lesser of two evils and that their policy on important matters are identical so what's the point they're both stooges for Wall Street and the Industrial War Complex.
You are right. Kind of.
I know y'all LOVE the 90's. Me too. And I remember after after eight years of Clinton/Gore, I thought those motherfuckers were the devil. I was soooooooooooo upset with Bill Clinton waving his deregulation wand and his fucked foreign policy that I was all FUCK THE DEMOCRATS and I strongly advocated for Raplh Nader, even though he too didn't really care about my "gonad politics." Even when not choosing between the "lesser of two evils," I was STILL having to compromise major issues.
Having been an adult person through 8 years of Clinton/Gore and 8 years through Bush/Cheney, I can tell you without a shred of hesitation that I will line up like my ass is on fire to vote for the lesser of two evils because the greater of two evils almost had us all living outside and eating dog food.
And if you think that a Romney presidency won't be worse than Bush/Cheney, you are out of your mind.
I am fucking begging all of you, please, go vote. Aside from the fact that far more dangerous things are happening on your local level, (like collective bargaining being taken away in Illinois) this shit does matter.
If you think voting for Obama is the lesser of two evils, you're wrong, it's the lesser of three because not voting IS voting for Romney. Not voting is voting for dickbag judges that sentence people to jail in counties that have privatized prisons for minor drug infractions. Not voting is voting to remove pensions and collective bargaining and the last shreds of union power from the people. Not voting this election is voting for Feudalism.
Go vote.
Now pardon me, there's some damn kids on my lawn and they want candy.
Also - your local elections are super important. If you haven't decided who you're voting for on the local level I recommend votersfriend.com as a starting place. Google the candidates.
This is how to effectively kill "BLARRRGGGH OBAMA!" derailment on Facebook.
Yes. Agree or disagree with my friend above about what she wrote, but damn. The subtle smackdown.
So much win.

The Invisible Obama meme is making our day.

The theme for the Republican National Convention is "We Built This!" which aims to underline the GOP's counterpoint to an Obama vagary of pronoun usage last month, where he said the following:If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
Ironically, this year's "We Built This!" RNC is being held in The Tampa Bay Times Forum arena, which was built in 1996 with 62% government funds.

Ten Republican-controlled state legislatures have voted to defund Planned Parenthood since the 2010 midterm elections, but the clinics affected by the cuts will not have to shut their doors any time soon. The Obama administration so far has awarded hefty new federal family planning grants to Planned Parenthood clinics in three states that have cut the providers' funding: New Jersey, Tennessee and North Carolina.
While Obama supports Planned Parenthood, the direct Title X grants are not exactly unusual: HHS has contracted directly with Planned Parenthood providers for years, including under former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. But the Planned Parenthood clinics that are receiving new federal grants this year are applying for those grants for the first time after defunding in their states created a need for federal money.
Paige Johnson, a spokesperson for the Planned Parenthood clinic in Durham, said that clinic has never appealed to HHS for Title X grants because it was always able to partner with the state. But after the state stopped contracting with Planned Parenthood, the clinic made the case to HHS that it is the primary provider of family planning to low-income women in the area. Under federal law, HHS is required to award grant funds in a manner that expands women's access to care in the most cost-effective way possible in areas of the greatest need.
Trust me, they mad.
A huge thank you to the Obama administration for putting women's health above the GOP's hissy fits.
See this comic book cover? It's the first issue with Batman villain Bane. It's from 1993. No big deal, right?
Wrong. If you're El Rushbo, and your ratings have dipped, IT'S A GODDAMN CONSPIRACY FACTORY! Seriously. Here's what Rush Limbaugh had to say:
Have you heard this new movie, the Batman movie, what is it, The Dark Knight Lights Up or whatever the name is. That's right, Dark Knight Rises. Lights Up, same thing. Do you know the name of the villain in this movie? Bane. The villain in The Dark Knight Rises is named Bane, B-a-n-e. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran and around which there's now this make-believe controversy? Bain. The movie has been in the works for a long time. The release date's been known, summer 2012 for a long time. Do you think that it is accidental that the name of the really vicious fire breathing four eyed whatever it is villain in this movie is named Bain?
Or maybe so. This one is just as ridiculous as the bithers. Maybe even more so — so now, super-villain evil genius time-traveler Kenyan Muslim usurper Barack Obama is now a comic book author and illustrator? All this about a guy the right-wing bitches is completely ineffective and can't get anything done. Let me just say, for someone who can't accomplish anything, Obama's accomplished a lot. Gawker breaks it down:
Obviously, Limbaugh deserves to be commended for his groundbreaking work uncovering how in 1993, Obama convinced comic writer Chuck Dixon to create a super-villain named Bane, knowing that two decades later he would be locked in a close presidential election campaign with the obscure son of a moderate Republican governor, at the time making gobs of money in Boston.
Obviously. And I guarantee, there's at least one dude swearing at work that the new Batman movie is Obama propaganda.
Is Rush even trying any longer?

While the prominence of women in the revolutions has been moving, there is a psychology behind celebrating and glorifying women's political activity when it is part of a popular push. In these times women are almost tokenised by men as the ultimate downtrodden victims, the sign that things are desperate, that even members of the fairer sex are leaving their hearths and taking to the streets. The perception isn't that women are fighting for their own rights, but merely that they are underwriting the revolution by bringing their matronly dignity to the crowd like some mascot.

Break Blocks Review (Windows PC)
Posted by David Vizcaino (Lord ZL), Mar 10, 2012 15:55
I'll be honest: I'm not really a fan of puzzle games. As a kid I hated Tetris, Dr.Mario, and I only played Dr. Robotnik's Mean-Bean Machine hoping for Sonic to pop out and turn it into a classic platformer. Yet, in all my years spent gaming, I can count the number of puzzle games that entranced me on one hand: Portal, Portal 2, Lumines, and now, Break Blocks is added to that list.
Break blocks plays like the lovechild of Lumines and Dance Dance Revolution. You have to match up colored blocks, but in order to set the colors of these blocks and finally drop them on the circular playing field, you have to press the arrow keys indicated by the blocks. This may sound easy, but this is where Dance Dance Revolution gets thrown into the mix; the arrow keys have to be pressed in time with a rhythm, and if you screw up the block comes out a different color than what is indicated and you get penalized. Fortunately, the color of your mistake block will become, is indicated while you play; so you know what colors you'll get if you mess up, and what color you'll get if you do it all correctly.
The rhythm based gameplay, which centers upon the act of break dancing against various whacky creatures (like a man who looks like Cap'n Crunch), can be hard to keep up with at first. Though the tutorial is decent, the game assumes you have natural rhythm, which makes some of the indicators a little more confusing. As a drummer, I'm surprisingly not the most rhythmic person around. So I prefer to play using my eyes first and ears as a backup, yet the way the beat was portrayed on screen was confusing enough to force me to play by ear. This worked very well until the later and obviously, more difficult stages, which forced me to compliment my rhythm with the visuals cues. After failing a few times, I finally learned that you don't hit a key when the beat circle (as I will call it) it closest to the center of the circle, but when the blocks in the center light up, with the beat circle being an indicator of how long until they light up. Take that as a warning.
Other than the slight misunderstanding I had with the visual cues, Break Blocks is an excellent and challenging puzzle game. For a game that bills itself as casual title, it can be quite difficult. The rhythms aren't the static rhythms you would expect from a casual game (think: "dum-dum, dum-dum, dum-dum" ad infinitum), but are actual beats that can get pretty complex (think: "dum-dum... dum-dum-dum... dum") and this just makes the game even more fun. The challenge ramps up slowly at first, but then tends to spike up and the slowly build up again, this forced me to actually get better at the game instead of just playing lazily, which I find as a good thing. But for some, the difficulty spike will be a complete turn off.

MINI Clubvan announced, hipsters rejoice
By Jake Lingeman
MINI is getting into the commercial space with the Clubvan, which has two seats, five doors and a flat floor for easy loading. MINI says the van is designed for both business and leisure cargo carrying.
When the U.S.-bound MINI Clubvan arrives this fall, it will use the company's base engine for power, which means 121 hp from a 1.6-liter engine. No word yet on a John Cooper Works edition, but that would be the fastest cube on wheels we've seen since the Pontiac Vans Am.
MINI says the Clubvan will offer "first-class styling coupled with premium-class cargo transport," which means that your kickball, skinny jeans and ironic beach cruiser will fit inside quite nicely. The company also says that "trend-setting commercial users can now make a stylish and sophisticated statement when carrying out deliveries to their equally discerning customers."
Translation: Your organic vegetables will get to the Red Hook market on time. The exterior dimensions of the Clubvan are exactly the same as those of the MINI Clubman —155.9 inches long, 66.3 inches wide and 56.1 inches tall. However, the rear seats are removed for additional cargo space, bringing the total to 30.3 cubic feet. The body-colored rear windows should provide plenty of space for the logo of whatever vintage T-shirt business the driver is shilling for. Six attachment loops can secure the drum set, while 12-volt sockets in the cargo area can allow a driver to trim his handlebar mustache on the go.
The Clubvan gets most of the same options as the other MINIs including xenon headlights, automatic climate control, park distance control and MINI Connected.
The Clubvan follows in the footsteps of the Morris Mini Van, which came out in the 1960s just one year after the original Mini.
MINI hasn't yet announced pricing for the Clubvan, but we'd guess that it would be close to the price of the Clubman, which is between $22,000 and $32,000.

NEW YORK – The Rangers were just a step slow Monday night at Madison Square Garden, a 3-1 sandblasting by Pittsburgh that really didn't ever seem that close.
Maybe it was the fatigue of playing their sixth game in ten days. Maybe it was the difficulty most teams have when playing their first home game after a long road trip. Maybe, Pittsburgh is just faster and better.
Whatever it was, New York was just unable to keep the Penguins away from their brand of hockey. Pittsburgh sped through the neutral zone with impunity, scoring two goals on odd-man rushes in a span of 1:15 of the second period to break it open.
"Really for probably about eight to ten minutes of that second period that's where we struggled," said Rangers coach John Tortorella. "They're a good enough team to capitalize in those situations. We gave up some odd-man rushes, bad change cost us a goal, so that eight-ten-11 minutes of the second period was the worst part of our game."
Pittsburgh's game is an inherently offensive one. It's a game that thrives when they're able to motor through neutral, get an odd-man-rush, and force the defense into compromising situations.
"They're really good through that neutral zone," said Ryan Callahan. "When those guys are flying, leaving the zone, it's tough to contain them. We battled hard to get back in it, got a push at the end, but it just wasn't enough."
"For that short stretch there, 10 minutes in the second, our D were back, and I think that's because our forwards weren't coming back," Brandon Dubinsky said. "There was a big gap, which gave them opportunities to make chips and make plays. It's not a secret. They got some damn good hockey players over there, guys that can make plays and hurt you if you play that way."
The Rangers, who essentially held Pittsburgh at bay in the 1st period, allowed two goals in 75 seconds of the second period when Kris Letang wristed the puck past Lundqvist at 12:01 off a brilliant cross-ice pass from Sidney Crosby, and Chris Conner did the same off a three-on-two break at 13:16.
"In that middle part of the second period, we're too deep with our third guy," Tortorella said. "We're trying to crawl back into it, we're trying to force them, and they did a lot of flipping and flying the zone. They indirected a lot of pucks. They're a good team. We lost our third guy on some pinches, and I thought we overcommitted, we were three flat in their end zone and they just threw it by us."
The other 40 minutes weren't terrible – New York played right with Pittsburgh in the first and third. But all it takes against a good team is one mistake.
The Rangers made three. Game over.
Crosby's dirty tactics?
Fifteen minutes into the first period, Callahan was called for an interference penalty when he and Pens star captain Sidney Crosby both tumbled to the ice. Replays seemed to indicate Crosby slew-footed Callahan on the play by swiping Callahan's feet out from under him.
During the first intermission, Dubinsky was interviewed on the MSG Network telecast of the game. "It was a dirty play," Dubinsky told MSG's Al Trautwig. "That's the kind of guy he is."
"How many penalty minutes do I have this year, if I'm that dirty?," Crosby asked in the post-game Penguins locker room. "I mean, please. Show me all those dirty plays. It's a battle and he falls. I think Dubi has done his fair share of things out there that are questionable. I guess he's talking again. But I'm not surprised."
"Yeah, absolutely. I thought he kicked my feet out from under me," Callahan said. "I'm not sure what the ref saw, but he called what he saw."
"It's not something we're going to dwell on. I don't want to turn this into anything more than it really is. I'm not going to sit here and talk about Sidney Crosby because I don't really care what he's doing, and I don't care really what he does on the ice."
"It's a battle. He's holding me going up ice and I'm trying to push him off. Is it that calculated? I'm trying to get to the net," Crosby said. "I'm not worried about that kind of thing. If I tripped him, I tripped him. Am I a dirty hockey player? Come on. I think Dubi is smarter than that."

An Infant/Toddler Specialist is defined as an individual whose job is to provide support to professionals and caregivers who provide early care and education to infants and toddlers. Funded in large part by the Infant/Toddler Earmark within the Child Care Development Block Grant, many states have developed an Infant/Toddler Specialist Network by funding these specialists to work with local programs in communities throughout the state. In Colorado, the EQ Initiative has built a network of Infant/Toddler Specialists with over 120 active EQ Instructors throughout the state. With extensive professional development opportunities provided by the EQ Initiative and a variety of experiences in working with infants, toddlers, providers, and families, EQ Instructors are well positioned to support the needs of infants and toddlers throughout their community.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, April 12 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists are rearranging
the genetic information of certain dogs to make the coding
human-like as a way to learn more about the genetic causes in
people of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer that begins in the cells
of the immune system.
Humans and dogs have a similar genetic makeup and share the same
types of cancers, including lymphoma. In purebred dogs of the same
breed, however, there are fewer genetic variations than in humans,
making it simpler to locate areas of the canine chromosomes that
may be involved with cancer.
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers
gathered genetic information from dogs with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
and then rearranged, or recoded, the genomes of the dogs into human
The recoded dog genomes were then compared with the genomes of
people with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to identify chromosomes involved
in the cancer in both humans and dogs.
"This is the first time that we were able to compare this information from dogs with lymphoma directly with existing data from human patients diagnosed with the equivalent cancer and using the same technique," lead author Rachael Thomas, a research assistant professor of molecular biomedical sciences at N.C. State, said in a university news release.
She and her colleagues found that dogs and humans share only a
few genes that are involved with lymphoma. Previous research had
suggested that numerous genes in humans may be associated with
The researchers said that the new findings should help narrow
the search for the genes most likely to cause lymphoma in
"In essence, we stripped the background noise from the human data," Matthew Breen, a professor of genomics, said in the news release. "Lymphoma genomics is a lot more complex in human patients than in dog patients. This study tells us that, while both humans and dogs have comparable disease at the clinical and cellular level, the genetic changes associated with the same cancers are much less complex in the dog. This suggests that maybe there is a lot of genetic noise in the human cancers that is not an essential component of the process.
"While human studies have been looking in numerous places in the genome, the dog data indicate we need to focus on what's shared, and these are very few regions," Breen said.
The study was published online in
Leukemia and Lymphoma.

Why I Home School
- Monday, August 19, 2002
I asked him about the damage that he was talking about with these children. His entire response is too long for this column, however you could tune into www.thepathhome.com to hear his response. Basically what he reaffirmed in my heart is that the "system" was set up to create a work force as well as to create consumers. There is nothing of pure motive in the foundation of the school system. In fact, he went on to say that John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie were strict Darwinists who believed that only one out of twenty people were in the higher evolutionary class. The system as we know it was set in place to do something with the throwbacks. Boarding schools were set up to aid in the breeding of the higher evolutionary classes.
This information astonished me! I had never heard such a thing. Much of the information John shared with me is available at his website, www.johntaylorgatto.com.
Prior to my interview with John, my answers to why I home school, aside from the calling of God, were quite simplistic in nature. After my interview, they became revolutionary!
Ive been quite content sitting back educating my children. However, John Taylor Gatto informed me that home schoolers are the single largest mass of people revolting from a society which is comfortable. We are not willing to accept the status quo. By the mere act of removing our children from the government schools, we are making a statement to the country. We are telling them that the children of America are not just evolutionary throwbacks, but they are children who can return to the pioneering spirit which made our country great! A spirit which enabled a mass of people to rise up against a super power and win. Our children, the children who are being educated in our homes, are the catalyst to change and reform in the school system of America. Our children are the leaders of tomorrow who are forging their own paths!
Listen to Terri's weekly broadcast for home schoolers at www.thepathhome.com.
In addition to devoting herself to her husband and the eight children she home schools, Terri also enjoys writing and speaking to offer encouragement to women in an effervescent, humorous way. Visit her Website at www.ignitethefire.com or e-mail her at email@example.com.

An Atlanta woman, Gearlean Williams, has been reported missing for a second time this year.
Williams, 78, was last seen just after 8 a.m. Tuesday by her daughter. Williams is about 5 feet, 3 inches tall weighing 170 pounds, according to Atlanta police. Williams has a mild case of dementia.
Williams' daughter told police on June 13 her mother decided she no longer wanted to stay at Coventry Place, an assisted living facility, and went to stay with her, according to an Atlanta police statement. On Monday, Williams reportedly said she was going to leave on a plane and fly somewhere.
Police advised Williams will sometimes ride MARTA trains and buses all day.
Anyone with any information is asked to call 911 or 404-546-4235.

Head banger safety gear? Woodpeckers, equipped with skull mesh and brain shock-absorbers
excerpts from
"Why don't woodpecker get brain damage?"
by Matt Soniak
Woodpeckers evolved intense headgear to prevent brain damage, cracked skulls and retinal detachment. Chinese scientists took a look at the birds' heads, brains and behavior, last year.
Bone surrounding the brain is thick and spongy, loaded with…microscopic beam-like…tissue …[creating] a …"mesh" for support and protection with more around the forehead and back of the skull… as a shock absorber.
…In humans, a hyoid [bone] is an attachment site for throat and tongue muscles. Woodpeckers' hyoids do the same thing, but they're larger…and wrap all the way around the skull and, sometimes, around eye socket or into nasal cavities.…the researchers think [this] acts like a safety harness for skull and brain, absorbing shock and stress as they shake, rattle and roll with each peck.

In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.
We can escape the commonplace only by manipulating it, controlling it, thrusting it into our dreams or surrendering it to the free play of our subjectivity.
The eruption of lived pleasure is such that in losing myself I find myself; forgetting that I exist, I realize myself.

EAST MOLINE -- More than 100 people were encouraged Saturday to increase their efforts to get 17th Congressional District Rep. Bobby Schilling, R-Colona, elected to a second term. The message was offered by Barry Jackson, a senior adviser to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Mr. Jackson joined Rep. Schilling and other speakers at a rally at the East Moline campaign headquarters. Rep. Schilling is facing East Moline Democrat Cheri Bustos in the Nov. 6 election. Mr. Jackson said when he told Speaker Boehner about the rally, the speaker offered a message: "Tell them to double down this time." "This is a presidential year, and we know Bobby needs to be re-elected and can be re-elected, but only if all of you here today double down and work twice as hard as you did in 2010," Mr. Jackson said. "Bobby won in 2010 because he had the best organization and the best ground game," he added.
Mr. Jackson said his first campaign job was in the 17th District. "This district is something I've always kept an eye on, because I think I know the people here and I know what has been going on here. I know how proud we were as Republicans, and I know how proud Speaker Boehner was, when you all worked so hard and you sent Bobby Schilling to represent this district," Mr. Jackson said.He said Speaker Boehner worked to demonstrate to the country what Republican leadership looks like. "He knew we needed to demonstrate to the country that Republicans understood how (President) Barak Obama had taken our country off course, and we understand as Republicans where we have sometimes fallen down on the job," Mr. Jackson said. His added his job is to make sure Republicans like Rep. Schilling have the resources they need to win re-election.
Rep. Schilling told his supporters the race will be "one of the tightest elections in the history of the 17th District."This fight has just begun. We have 31 days to go, and I need you to pour each and every ounce of energy you have in you. I need you to reach over and talk to your friends, get them engaged in this process," Rep. Schilling said.

BBC F1 coverage is superb and in the wake of Jake leaving Suzi is a perfect choice to fill the gap. Unfortunately I've given up on BBC MotoGP coverage as, IMHO, the coverage and commentary is tired and shockingly poor. I don't think the Beeb are anywhere as interested in GP as they are in F1 - despite their exclusive live rights. I'll stick with Eurosport thanks. Suzi'll do a great job at F1.

I thought Suzi Perry was great on the MotoGP. That said, I think Matt Roberts is as good. They both seem to have good relationships with the riders and good access. However, Jake Humphry was irritatingly crap the whole time he was on F1, and strangely dismissive of everyone he talked to. I'm looking forward to having a presenter on each program that I like, rather than another ex-CBBC kiddie presenter like Jake. Jake was an excellent children's presenter, but like all ex-cbbc presenters who learned their craft talking to kids, he still talks down to people. NO MORE CHILDREN'S PRESENTERS IN BBC SPORT!

I personally prefer ex racers to commentate during the race itself. Having said that; I prefer Suzi's off race commentary to that of the (emerging) hair gel lovie's of Parish & co, forever banging on about their lifestyle: "I'd like to thank farmer Jones for letting me land in his field", "Just been round the (TT) course in my aeroplane", "Me and Barry would drive our Rolls Royces..." for F***s sake Parish, give us all a break!
Take a lesson from the great man himself (ex motorcycle racer) Murray Walker. Never once will you hear him bang on about himself, an absolute gentleman of motor-sport!

I miss you. Will you be my valentine?
I was alone admiring the sunrise at the Minesview Park Viewdeck when this couple came over. They weren't too PDA, and in fact I find them very decent. So I backed away, composing them into silhouettes when suddenly the guy gave the girl a quick kiss out of nowhere -*snap*. Bingo. ♥
Honestly, my heart ached a little when I was taking pictures of them (sneakily XD). I just missed my Celine so much. Thoughts like "Sana kasama ko sya", "Sana may kalambingan din ako dito", etc rushed into me. But well, at least we get to date at skype and ym often. :))
~'we could happen'
~'love has no distance'
My heart died a little when I saw Lolo down this dark alley.. Biitersweet..
Merry Christmas, everyone. Much love.
He even left me hanging as to when my works would be published! >< But still I'm soooooo amped up and excited!! Can't wait to hear from him again!
Had a short photowalk this morning at the Bell Church, La Trinidad with Kuya Jayson and Orange (she didn't stay long, she just returned my lens reversing ring actually). We walked a few kilometers to get there, and to our surprise there were 3 buses worth of students all over the place. We figured out that they're having their field trip. I was basically distracted 'cuz of all the noise the children were making. I haven't even got a decent shot an hour after we got there!
Kuya Jayson and I waited for them to leave, and for the sun to shine and "wake up" the yet closed lotus flowers on the ponds of the church. It was only then that I got my decent shots! and this one's my very favorite. Lovin' the bokeh here! :D
Day dreamin' about Celine.. I miss her so much..
"A dramatic play of dusk clouds and colours."
What a lovely dusk I have witnessed. :) Took this photo at SM Baguio while I was waiting for the rest of the Sapientia Shirts team for our first admin meeting.
Lucky I was at the freakin' right place at the freakin' right time. \m/
I haven't posted anything lately cuz' there's been so many things going on, I can barely think of which ones are most worthy of sharing. :))
But what I'm most
stressed amped up about is me being a stockholder of a company in the making! The future is so bright in that business, I hope everything will go on smoothly. :D
"Stellar Rain"
One of my favorite "30 seconds of happiness" photos. The setup was pretty much improvised: black cloth borrowed from Mama for the background, driftwood which Papa picked up on the shore while taking our dog for a walk, my phone's flashlight for the light source, and colored plastic bags (supot/cellophane) for the tint. \m/
Oh, thank you! You too, keep bringin good stuff to my dash. :D
*PS. I forgot to thank you for following back! Thaanks :))
