Inland Fisheries and Wildlife does NOT recognize any stand alone on line program for validation for Hunter Safety.
We have been made aware of sportspersons using an online course certificate to show proof of hunter safety. On line courses do not qualify.
Applicants for an adult hunting license must show proof of having previously held an adult license to hunt with firearms in any year beginning with 1976 or successful completion of an approved hunter safety course.
States such as New Hampshire do allow online study but students must then attend & complete a one day training program to complete.

Do you need to take an outdoor safety course to obtain your license for firearms, archery, crossbow, or trapping?
Maine law requires completion to obtain your adult license unless you have previously done so or have held an adult license.
Hunters and trappers in Maine must attend training courses specific to the license type they wish to purchase. By state law, anyone planning to buy a basic hunting license, archery license, crossbow license, or trapping license, must complete the respective hunter, archery, crossbow, or trapper education course. Individuals may purchase each of these licenses by showing a certificate of completion from the appropriate course, or a previously issued license of the same type.
If you would like to refresh your knowledge of safe and responsible hunting, then taking a hunter education course is a great idea.
Each year, the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife provides more than 350 courses on hunting with firearms, bow and arrow, and trapping. These are attended by roughly 7,500 students and taught by over 800 volunteer instructors trained by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Would you like to learn how to safely operate a snowmobile, ATV or boat?
In order to operate an ATV under 16 years of age, you must complete an approved ATV Safety Course.
The Recreational Safety Division provides approximately 200 courses to about 2,500 students per year for people who want to learn about the safe operation of snowmobiles, boats, or ATV's. Boating safety courses are also provided by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaries and by U.S. Power Squadrons around the state.
Become a Volunteer Instructor
To become a certified volunteer instructor, you must:
- Successfully complete the basic course as a student and complete the appropriate application and written examination.
- Be at least 18 years old with a record free of convictions.
- Complete an instructor training course.
- Join an existing team of instructors or organize a new team.
- Agree to attend training updates/workshops.
For more information, please contact the Safety Division by phone at (207) 287-5220 or email email@example.com. In order to start the certification process, you must contact the Regional Coordinator for your area.
Registering For a Course
Don't wait until hunting or trapping season to take a course; it'll be too late! Most courses are offered in the late summer and early fall prior to the start of hunting seasons. Courses are also offered in the spring. Completion of a spring course gives you time to become familiar with equipment, terrain, and hunting techniques. There are no costs for materials or instruction. Some courses may charge a nominal fee to cover the use of facilities and minor instructional expenses. All students will have to provide a survival kit, with most of the contents available from the home. Pre-registration is required. To enroll in the course, please call the listed instructor at the number given on the course listing.
Courses will include 6 to 12 hours of instruction depending on the subject. Sponsors include school districts, sports clubs, civic groups and others. Courses listed as 'Home Study', require attendance at scheduled sessions as well as study at home.
Volunteer instructors schedule each course. Some are completed in a weekend, while others may run multiple evenings, plus a Saturday or Sunday.
Minimum Age
Students must be at least 10 years of age to attend a class for firearms, archery, or trapping. Students under 10 may attend a recreational vehicle course. A person under 16 years of age must attend the ATV training course with that person's parent or guardian.
Duplicate Certificates/Cards
The Department keeps records of graduates from its safety courses. If you have lost your certificate, you may obtain a duplicate from the Safety Division at no cost.

A percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTCA) is an x-ray of the bile ducts. These are the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine.
PTCA; Cholangiogram - PTCA; PTC; PBD-Precutaneous Biliary drainage
The test is performed in a radiology department by a radiologist.
You will be asked to lie on your back on the x-ray table. The health care provider will clean the upper right and middle area of your belly area and then apply a numbing medicine.
X-rays are used to help the health care provider locate your liver and bile ducts. A long, thin, flexible needle is then inserted through the skin into the liver. The health care provider injects dye, called contrast medium, into the bile ducts. Contrast helps highlight certain areas so they can be seen. More x-rays are taken as the dye flows through the bile ducts into the small intestine. This can be seen on a nearby video monitor.
You will be given medicine to calm you (sedation) for this procedure.
Inform the health care provider if you are pregnant. You will be given a hospital gown to wear and you will be asked to remove all jewelry.
You will be asked not to eat or drink anything for 6 hours prior to the exam.
Tell your health care provider if you are taking any blood thinners such as warfarin (coumadin), Plavix (clopidrogrel), Pradaxa or Xarelto.
There will be a sting as the anesthetic is given. You may have some discomfort as the needle is advanced into the liver.
This test can help diagnose the cause of a bile duct blockage.
Bile is a liquid released by the liver. It contains cholesterol, bile salts, and waste products. Bile salts help your body break down (digest) fats. A blockage of the bile duct can lead to jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin), itching of the skin, or infection of the liver, gallbladder or pancreas.
When it is performed, PTCA is usually the first part of a two step process to relieve or treat a blockage.
The bile ducts are normal in size and appearance for the age of the patient.
The results may show that the ducts are enlarged. This may mean the ducts are blocked. The blockage may be caused by scarring or stones. It may also indicate cancer in the bile ducts, liver, pancreas, or region of the gallbladder.
There is a slight chance of an allergic reaction to the contrast medium (iodine). There is also a small risk of:
Most of the time, this test is done after an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) test has been tried first. The PTC may be done if an ERCP test cannot be performed or has failed to clear the blockage.
A magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a newer, noninvasive imaging method, based on MRI. It also provides views of the bile ducts, but it is not always possible to do this exam. Also, MRCP cannot be used to treat the blockage.

40 Years Ago: Pink Floyd Release 'The Dark Side of the Moon'
The numbers attached to 'The Dark Side of the Moon' are pretty impressive. More than 50 million copies sold worldwide. Fifteen straight years on Billboard's album chart. Consistently ranked in the Top 10 of many best-albums-ever-made polls. But Pink Floyd's achievements with their eighth LP go deeper than that. In a way, their 1973 epic changed the way people made and listened to albums. Forty years after its release, there's still no better head trip — legally at least — available.
Following original leader Syd Barrett's breakdown and departure from the band in the late '60s, Pink Floyd took off in a different direction. The psychedelic tones Barrett brought to the music were still there, but the albums became headier — sturdier in ways that the always-delicate Barrett couldn't conceive or articulate. Through a series of musically complex and exploratory records, the four remaining members of Pink Floyd connected personal themes to space age freakout music.
Everything leading up to 'The Dark Side of the Moon' was mere prep work. With their 43-minute opus, Pink Floyd delivered a masterpiece on death, madness and the post-war problems of kids who came of age in the '50s. In a way it's a tribute to Barrett, whose mental breakdowns were well-known and well-documented at that point. But it's also a tribute to a generation of young twenty-somethings searching for reason and purpose. 'The Dark Side of the Moon' doesn't necessarily have the answers; the best it can muster is a we're-all-crazy-here shrug. And maybe that's enough.
But the album's 10 songs land with a massive force. From the opening heartbeat instrumental 'Speak to Me' to the soul- and mind-cleansing closer 'Eclipse,' 'The Dark Side of the Moon' made deep, heavy records — ones without obvious radio singles, even though 'Money' almost hit the Top 10 — a commercial mainstay for the rest of the decade. Its influence still resonates indirectly (think Radiohead's string of artsy, musically complex records) and directly (the Flaming Lips covered the entire album a few years ago) with artists. It set up Pink Floyd for the rest of their career. It made headphone listening a required luxury. It's the aural equivalent of '2001: A Space Odyssey.' And it's still blowing minds.
Shine on, you crazy diamonds.
Hear 'Eclipse' by Pink Floyd

I suggest we send a collective statement from Murray's World to 'journalist' Phil Davison that if he does indeed agree to go and walk across the Kalahari desert in a fur coat, then we will all club together to buy him a ticket to watch Federer, We will even make it front row so he can get a good view of SmugFed getting thrashed by A.N. Onymous.

Andy should go all out for the rest of the season. Try and win everything.
He may try to win everything but it will be very hard to do. I think that we should just be glad that he plays at all. Whatever he wins or doesn't.

When will I ever learn not to read stupid articles!
The one comment to the article is from yours truly. I couldn't help myself. Grrrr! The funny thing about it is that the moron obviously thinks he knows more than certain other people who completely understand what Andy has been dealing with since Wimbledon.
"Phil Davison gives a Scottish analysis...".?!
Then Mr. Davison should have no problem understanding a Scottish analysis of his article. -. Laddie you're as thick in the heid as s***e in a bottle.

The more I think about it the more angry I get about that article. The remark about the Dunblane massacre (I hate that word, but that is what it was) is incredibly offensive.
You don't get over something like that. As we know, Andy was not in the gym that day, but in a small community like Dunblane he would probably have known people who were. As he was a little older than the children who died I imagine he probably knew, or knows, people who lost brothers or sisters that day. Also, Andy and Jamie knew Thomas Hamilton. Judy gave Hamilton lifts in her car at times. That makes what happened incredibly personal, very near.
I also find the way the journalist knocks Andy's experience as a child whilst giving credence to Djokovic's very hard to understand. The situation in the former Yugoslavia was dreadful. A lot of awful things happened. It must have been a terrible situation to go through. The difference between the two though, is that what Djokovic's family lived through was a war, and terrible things can and do happen in war.
Andy lived in a relatively quiet town in Scotland. It was probably a normal, peaceful morning that day in the early spring of 1996, until a mad man walked into Dunblane Primary and killed 16 children and their teacher.
I would never seek to belittle Djokovic's family's experience in any way at all, but in war you must know terrible things can happen. How could Andy, his family, the familes of all those involved, Dunblane as a whole, have possibly been prepared for what happened in 1996? The answer must surely be they couldn't, and for that reason alone, although they have all moved on, I doubt very much any of them will ever 'be over' it.

I thought it a bit odd that he announced he was a "sports journalist", because sports writers don't normally bother. I looked him up, and it seems he normally writes obituaries, and is probably free-lance. I'm guessing he has written some sports articles, but more as a hobby, and he has to make up for his lack of knowledge by being controversial.
I read that the Independent were making cut-backs to their writing team, and several sports writers were let go, including tennis correspondent, Paul Newman. It's a sad day when a supposedly serious newspaper allows something so inaccurate to be published, never mind hateful. Any sports journalist worth their salt would know that Federer is prone to a bit of swearing of his own, while anyone with any life experience should know that the Dunblane stuff was jaw-droppingly inappropriate.

That was the bit that really riled me too, the rest was more sensationalist stupidity. But to comment on Dunblane... am speeechless. Andy's class was next to go into the gym and were on their way so we are talking minutes in terms of him not ending up in there, he has mentioned some of his friends and classmates losing siblings, of course he knew the children, their teacher, their families. Anyway, not going to go on and on, but what actually astonishes me is that the article passed editorial and was allowed to be published as it stood.

In better news another award for Andy. Looks like he is/was in Scotland.
Julia Carrick, Chief Executive of Walpole British Luxury commented: "Andy's win at Wimbledon in July will go down as the highlight of the summer and I imagine many will be reliving his win for years to come. It is wonderful to be able to salute him this evening."

Andy Murray memorabilia is 'most popular at charity auctions'
Published on 9 September 2013, by howardlake
in auction Celebrity Events
Fundraising event technology company Bidtech reports that Andy Murray memorabilia is the most in demand at charity auctions that it has run.
It has compiled a list of items and their owners that attract the most bidding at charity auctions. The company runs hundreds of auctions each year for organisations such as Action Against Hunger and the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Sports stars
Sporting names dominate the list. Murray is joined on it by Sir Alex Ferguson and current world footballer of the year Lionel Messi. Longer-standing sports stars such as Pele and Mohammed Ali are also on the list.
One Direction memorabilia proved more popular than that of The Rolling Stones. Film actors including Al Pacino, Daniel Craig and the late James Gandolfini also made it onto the list.
Value of celebrities to charities
Jane Jelly, spokesperson for Bidtech, said: "A celebrity's pulling power can be hugely beneficial to charities and the research shows how Andy Murray's recent achievements have afforded him a new level of fame and respect.
"Understandably, people want to own a little piece of his legend and charities are able to capitalise on this fact."
How the list was created
The bidding data is captured using Bidtech's special iPad app that allows guests attending charity events to make silent bids on items.
The list is based on the average amount items from each celebrity have raised at charity auctions over the last year, the number of bids each item attracts during the auction and also the amount by which bids exceeded the expected reserve price.
donated by a wide range of popular celebrities as well as providing detailed information about the charities involved and other ways in which guests can donate and get involved in supporting good causes.
The heat list is based on the average amount items from each celebrity have raised at charity auctions over the last year, the number of bids each item attracts during the auction and also the amount by which bids exceeded the expected reserve price.

That's great to read. I think it proves that people really do see Andy's wins at Wimbledon/US Open and probably the Olympics, as big, historic events that they want to associate themselves with.

Not sure that being above "One Direction" is anything to gloat about - she says slightly tongue in cheek, but trouncing Pele and Mohammed Ali is pretty awesome.

Nikon J1 10.1MP Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm and 30-110mm Lenses - Silver
10.1 Megapixels
11x Optical Zoom (from two lenses)
Full HD Video (1080p)
Motion Snapshot
Starting with a clean slate, we reexamined the potential of imaging and discovered globally unique way of preserving your memories with something different from just a photograph or a movie.When you press the shutter-release button, with the "Motion Snapshot" mode, the desired moment will be captured as a still image and also as a movie vignette. The movie vignette will play back in dramatic, 2.5x slow motion to an original BGM.From fleeting changes in expression to adorable, endearing gestures, or the ambience of the landscape gently swaying in the wind —you can capture all of these moments more vividly and emotionally though visual expression and with music.What's more, the still images are captured in high resolution, so you can print them out in beautiful picture quality.The Motion Snapshot has brought to life new photographic, cinematic expression perfect for capturing your precious moments
Smart Photo Selector
When shooting fast-moving subjects, you may find it difficult to keep them within the frame or you may miss a fantastic photo opportunity due to the subject's unpredictable movements. With Nikon's Smart Photo Selector, you will never miss those picture perfect moments again.All you have to do is push the shutter-release button as you normally would.It is that simple. The camera will then automatically take total of 20 shots before and after you press the shutter-release button at a high speed of 30fps.What's more, it will automatically select the most spectacular shot from the series of shots taken. Whether it is the expression of a loved one as they turn to look over their shoulder or a fun-filled scene at a party, the Nikon 1 will capture it all.
Fastest AF x Most Focus Points in the World
We offer two of the world's best features to let you capture special moments faithfully.First, we present the world's fastest autofocus. The phase-detection AF, embedded in the newly developed sensor, will track and capture fast-moving subjects in sharp, crystal-clear focus. Second, we offer the most focus points in the world. The focal plane phase-detection AF with effectively positioned 73 points recognizes the moving subject as a plane to ensure that images are captured clearly.Because of the Advanced hybrid AF system, the camera will automatically select the contrast-detect AF mode in poorly lit areas to expand the area covered by the autofocus. With the camera's remarkably quick and smooth AF, you can capture scenes you never knew existed.
World's fastest continuous shooting, Max.10fps in AF-A mode / Max.60fps in AF-S mode
You can continuously capture images at approx. 10 fps while the AF constantly tracks the subject and keeps every element in razor-sharp focus. In continuous shooting at 60fps, focus is locked on the position detected in the first frame. With this innovative feature, you can unequivocally capture your once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity. Picture perfect moments are often found in dynamic scenes such as exciting plays from a sporting match or energetic children at play. With the autofocus technology of the Nikon 1, you can capture, not just one, but a series of spectacular moments with super-crisp, high-quality images.
Newly developed, super high-speed AF CMOS sensor
The newly developed CMOS image sensor, with an effective pixel count of 10.1 megapixels, is the world's first image sensor created that implements phase-detection AF.The Nikon 1 boasts exceptionally fast auto-focusing, while promising high image quality for both still images and movies.The new image sensor has been engineered to deliver super-precise focusing that captures a wide range of subjects flawlessly.

27 Tasty Skewer Recipes for the Grill
Whether you call it a skewer, kabob, kebab, spedini, or saté, these portable and versatile meals-on-a-stick are perfect for outdoor grilling and barbecues. We've collected 27 skewer recipes with classic and international flavors pair these skewers with a few grilled side dish recipes.
By Kara Rodemer
Scallop and Cherry Tomato Skewers
Light, fresh, and easy-to-make, these grilled scallop and cherry tomato skewers get their spicy, tart flavor from lemon and Dijon mustard. Serve with our Grilled Caesar Salad.

Middle Eastern Lamb Skewers
Combine onion, garlic, parsley, lemon, allspice, and saffron in a marinade that's great on chicken breast as well as lamb.
Recipe: Middle Eastern Lamb Skewers
Thai Chicken Saté
For an Asian twist on barbecue, marinate tender slices of skewered chicken in a curried-coconut-milk blend and serve with a peanut dipping sauce. Pickled cucumbers make a perfect partner.

Yogurt-Marinated Lamb Kebabs with Lemon Butter
Taken from the Rajasthani countryside of India, this recipe calls for lamb marinated in yogurt to make it exceptionally tender. Then a basting of lemon butter, just before serving, gives it an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Jambalaya Sausage Kebabs
Bringing a well-loved Louisiana dish to the grill, these skewers are threaded with zucchini, red pepper, onion, and sausage coated with Cajun seasoning, then served with a side of rice.

Cilantro-Lime Shrimp and Plum Kebabs
Recipe: Cilantro-Lime Shrimp and Plum Kebabs
Grilled Rosemary-Salmon Spedini
These Italian salmon kebabs are tossed with a lemony garlic and rosemary marinade before threading with fresh cherry tomatoes. If you can find them, use sturdy rosemary branches, stripped of leaves, as skewers. Oil your grill well to prevent sticking, don't move the kebabs around unnecessarily, and keep a close eye on the fire to avoid flare-ups. Serve with a fresh salad and brown rice for a full meal.
Recipe: Grilled Rosemary-Salmon Spedini
Sardinian Lamb Kabobs Over Couscous
For a more formal summer get-together, these Sardinian skewers are perfect. Grill skewers of lemon-and-thyme-marinated lamb, and then serve them atop a garlicky Sardinian couscous full of cauliflower, currants, and pine nuts.
Grilled Buffalo Steak with Radicchio-Beet Skewers
Richly flavored buffalo steak is complemented by the bite of radicchio, mellowed a bit by the grill, the earthy-sweet beets, and a creamy goat cheese dressing. Buffalo is a tasty option but, because it's so lean, is best cooked rare to medium-rare.
Spanish Shrimp-and-Sausage Skewers
To maximize the flavor quotient of these spicy Spanish skewers, try using authentic chorizo sausage in this recipe. Chorizo owes its characteristic flavor and color to mild Spanish paprika.

Vegetable Kabobs
This simple vegetarian side dish of grilled bell peppers and sweet onions tastes delicious with grilled meat or fish.

Scallops Yakitori
"Yakitori" is a Japanese word that literally means "grilled bird," a reference to chicken bits on skewers in a sticky/salty sauce. The sauce itself is so favored that it has come to be known as "yakitori." Here we make yakitori with scallops, mushrooms, and scallions. Don't overcook the scallops; just a few minutes over the heat will do the trick.
Recipe: Scallops Yakitori

Grilled Lamb Chops and Vegetable Kebabs
Proof that fast dinners can also be gourmet, these lamb chops and vegetable skewers will be grilled to perfection in less than 15 minutes total.
Lemon-Garlic Lamb Kabobs
A tangy dipping sauce made with lemon juice, feta cheese, and salt and pepper goes well with these Greek-style skewers. Serve with herbed couscous or orzo pasta to round out the meal.
Recipe: Lemon-Garlic Lamb Kabobs
Thai Catfish Skewers with Savoy Cabbage Slaw
Give grilled fish a Thai twist with these three-step catfish skewers served atop a refreshing homemade slaw.

Salmon and Scallop Skewers with Romesco Sauce
This recipe for healthy skewers from Food Network's Iron Chef Cat Cora is great for grilling outdoors or baking in the oven when it gets colder.
Grilled Lamb with Salsa Verde
Chunks of tender lamb grilled on skewers taste fantastic with a zesty salsa verde.

Jamie Oliver's Pork Kabobs
The key to making a good kabob is taking the time to ensure your ingredients are cut to roughly the same size and thickness. That way, everything cooks evenly and you get a lovely finished result.
Recipe: Jamie Oliver's Pork Kabobs
Spiced Kielbasa and Summer Fruit Kabobs
Juicy apricots and plums are threaded with Polish sausage then coated with an orange marmalade and five-spice powder combination for an irresistible sweet and savory flavor mix.

Grilled Beef-Tenderloin Skewers with Red-Miso Glaze
Addictively tangy and salty-sweet, these skewers are also delicious when made with chicken breast or pork tenderloin. The miso glaze is made with staple Asian condiments — soy sauce, red miso paste, and sesame oil — that you can easily find in the international foods aisle at your grocery store.
Grilled Swordfish Kabobs
Swordfish is an ideal fish for the grill. Its meatiness will hold up well over the heat.
Recipe: Grilled Swordfish Kabobs
Steak and Potato Kebabs with Creamy Cilantro Sauce
Steak kebabs get a Southwestern spin with poblano peppers and a creamy sauce spiked with cilantro, chile powder, cumin, and vinegar. The potatoes are partially cooked in a microwave before putting them on the grill to speed up their cooking time.
Indian Turkey Tikka Kebabs
The yogurt marinade in this Indian-inspired recipe infuses every tender morsel with the rich flavor of garam masala, a roasted spice blend that includes cumin, coriander, black pepper, and cardamom.

Herbed Scallop Kebabs
Grilled under a watchful eye to avoid overcooking, these skewers are a snap to prepare. A light lemon-and-herb marinade allows the sweet, succulent flavor of the scallops to shine. Be sure to purchase sea scallops, which are a good size for kebabs.

Fungal arthritis is infection of a joint by a fungus.
Mycotic arthritis
Fungal arthritis, also called mycotic arthritis, is a rare condition. This disease can be caused by any of the invasive types of fungi. These organisms may affect bone or joint tissue. One or more joints may be affected, most often the large, weight-bearing joints, especially the knees.
Conditions that can cause fungal arthritis include:
The infection sometimes occurs as a result of an infection in another organ such as the lungs, and tends to get worse very slowly. The large joints are most often affected. People with weakened immune systems who travel or live in endemic areas are more susceptible to most causes of fungal arthritis.
For exserohilum rostratum arthritis, the major risk factor is injection with contaminated steroid vials.
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection using antifungal drugs. The most commonly used antifungal drugs are amphotericin B or medications in the azole family (fluconazole, ketoconazole, or itraconazole).
Chronic or advanced bone or joint infection may require surgery (debridement) to remove the infected tissue.
What happens depends on the underlying cause of the infection and the patient's overall health. A weakened immune system, cancer, and certain medications can affect the outcome.
Joint damage can occur if the infection is not treated right away.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have any symptoms of fungal arthritis.
Thorough treatment of fungal infections elsewhere in the body may help prevent fungal arthritis.

The creative writing classroom is a brief stop on the long path any writer takes to one of many possible destinations. When teaching workshops, therefore, I try to keep the long view in mind. While giving craft lessons and leading discussions of the work of students and others, I ensure we do not lose sight of the larger questions that any serious writer should address, such as, why do we write? And, what are we looking for in an audience? My hope is that we can address these questions thoughtfully, and better understand the roles that literary writing and reading play in our lives and the lives of others.

THE FRIEND. Where chaos, and eternal night supreme Have revelled, and defied the forked shafts Electric, that incessant play amid This grand and solemn scenery.—But list 1 The muttering thunder strikes the startled ear As distant cannon booming o'er the sea.— The breeze that scarcely stirred the trembling leaf, Or gently played upon the fervid cheek, Grows lusty in its strength ; whilst darkling o'er For " The Friend." Early Anti-Slavery Advocates. WILLIAM BURLING. In preparing the materials for the Biographical Sketches of the early Friends of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I found some matter relative to William Burling, Ralph Sandiford, and Benjamin Lay, the early opposers of slavery. Having made notes of most points of interest relative to them, I propose giving sketches aside from the general series. According to the estimate of the age of William Burling, furnished by Benjamin Lay, he must have been born about the yea/ 1675, on Long Tsland. When quite young he was convinced of the evil of slavery, and was constrained to bear testimony against it. In the year 1718 he wrote some observations "concerning slave-keeping/' of which Benjamin Lay has preserved a portion in his book entitled, "All slave-keepers that keep the innocent in bondage, apostates." The original work rf Burling, I suppose cannot be found, that part preserved by Lay, he informs us, was the preface. It was "an address to the elders of the church upon the occasion of some Friends compelling certain persons, and their posterity, to serve thetn continually and arbitrarily, without regard to equity or right, not heeding whether they give them anything near so much as their labour de- serveth." " My dearly beloved Friends, and elder brethren, whom, as it behoves me, I would entreat as 1 fathers, a weighty concern from the Lord is, and hath been at times for many years, on my spirit, in consideration of this unchristian liberty being indulged in the church,—for it is in itself none of the least of the world's corruptions. Indeed the Lord, by his spirit, manifested the evil to me be- Bbre I was twelve years of age, and since, from •■ time to time, I have had drawings in mind to re prove and testify against it. Nor have I been altogether silent, although much discouraged by reason of its being practised by so many Friends, yea, elders too. Though I have formerly thought it strange that the church did not exclude it by her discipline, and fix the judgment of Truth upon it, yet now I am sensible such a thing is not easily done or accomplished. There being so strong opposition in many, it cannot be brought to the test, and judgment brought forth into victory in the cause at present, without danger of much strife and disorder in the church, which is generally hurtful wherever it prevaileth, therefore to be generally avoided. However, I hope we are all unanimous in our judgment, that whatever Friend hath anything from the Spirit of Truth to communicate to his brethren, either by word or writing, concerning this or any other matter, he ought to be allowed, and received in his testimony, and borne with by his brethren, so long as he keeps to the counsel and direction of the Holy Spirit, and therefore delivers nothing but what is according to Truth, although it happens to be never so contrary to the interest or inclination of the readers or hearers. "Now I would such Friends as practise or plead for the aforesaid sin, evil or liberty, should consider solidly what hardship they impose on such as are concerned to bear testimony against it; for while so many Friends continue in said practice, no one can reprove it, and give it that deserved character which is agreeable to its nature, without implicitly condemning many of his brethren, elder brethren, as transgressors in this thing, which is very hard to do. Yet, if the Lord require such a thing or testimony of any Friend, he is necessitated so to judge his brethren, or quench the spirit in its motions in his own heart. The case admits of no medium. Again I entreat those who slight and disregard the testimony of any whom the Lord concerns to appear against this fleshly liberty, to consider whom they oppose and withstand. The inspired apostle speaking concerning the Lord's instruments whom he was pleased to make use of, saith, 1 Thess. iv. 8, ' He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not men but God, who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit/ 0 ! that I could prevail so far with all my dear brethren, that none would any more plead for or endeavour to defend the aforesaid unjust practice; neither endeavour to shield it from the judgment of Truth. We may do well to remember, the devil is the author of all sin, and sin is the transgression of the law." How, or in what manner, this pamphlet or small book of W. Burling, was circulated we know not. It appears from the time in which it came forth, that it was caused by the agitation felt through the society by the unwise anti-slavery movements of William Southby and John Farmer. William Burling seems to have been preserved out of the spirit of bitterness, and he lived long after the publication of his sentiments against slavery, in apparent unity with his Friends. We have evidence that he was much employed in meetings for discipline on Long Island, and his manly handwriting, clear and easily read, indicates the firmness of an intelligent man of moderate school education, rather than the neatness of a clerk. We can trace William Burling by his signing certificates of membership from Flushing, and returning certificates of ministers who had been attending the Yearly Meeting on Long Island, until the year 1740. After that period we have no information concerning him. He probably died soon after, and with him seemed to perish for a time the public testimony against slavery on Long Island. (To be continued.)

A regular of mine at The Royale (one of the ones I had a crush on) came in one night many years ago and ordered "a Manhattan, put it up on skates." I shot him one of my perplexed Charlie Brown faces; he unfurled a devilish Cheshire grin (catnip to a female bartender who was fed up with her boyfriend at that point). He'd just heard this phrase, probably earlier that night during his own shift, and couldn't wait to test it out on me. My demurely flirtatious reply: "What the fuck does 'put it up on skates' mean?"
It meant, shake the shit out of a Manhattan so hard that when you strain it, perfect, adorable little ice floes, teensy shards small enough to scoot through the coils of your Hawthorne strainer, dot the surface of your cocktail. To this day I know of nobody else who's ever heard of or used this expression, but it's always stuck with me as quite a cool thing to say… although yes, nowadays we know that all-alcohol cocktails like the Manhattan ought to be stirred, not shaken, lest you "bruise" their precious molecules. (See: "Don't ever shake that drink, or you'll kill it.") Someday I'll side-by-side taste-test that theory, but for now what can I say except that it was the 00's; we were the young and the reckless, and I was really hoping to kiss this guy soon.
Non-narrative jump to today: I read Afar Magazine. Their July/August 2011 issue has a story on bicerin (bee-chay-reen), an Italian beverage with secret-recipe roots stretching back to 17th century Turin along the foothills of the Italian Alps. Its main ingredients are milk, melted chocolate, espresso and whipped cream. Cafe Al Bicerin, a Turin institution that takes its name from the drink, is where locals head after Sunday Mass to break the fast. God bless the Italians, with their Roman Catholic guilt and their natural disregard for calorie counts!
Of course, I took one look at the Afar story and said, "Dude, I should totally incorporate that into a cocktail." And what I did was, I sent it over the Alps. What the fuck does "send it over the Alps" mean? It means (says me) to douse peaks of whipped cream ("the Alps") with a shot of yellow Chartreuse, that suave, milder-than-green-Chartreuse liqueur made by monks in the village of Voiron, along the foothills of the French Alps ("send it over").
My recipe was kismet: The thought of adding yellow Chartreuse to the bicerin stuck in my head for a few days, then I discussed it with Sean and found out he'd had the very same notion, then I Googled a map and saw that, indeed, the mother lands of Chartreuse and bicerin are a mere three hours apart, the Alps stuck in between. Something about bicerin made me less wary than usual about doing a dessert cocktail, and while my end result technically isn't a cocktail but a spiked coffee beverage, it reads on the palate like a cocktail to me: You can detect all the parts that are in there but the impression on your senses is that of a fully integrated taste, more than the sum of its parts. (Spiked coffee beverages, on the other hand, often taste to me as just that: Coffee with a high-spirited intruder who somehow found his way in.)
We contemplated a second liquor, but it just doesn't need it.
P.S. I like this one so much, I'm contributing the recipe to the first-ever gojee Virtual Potluck, an online smorgasbord of eats and drinks put together by yours truly and many of gojee's other fine blogging contributors. Starting on Thursday, January 26, check out other potluck dishes fellow gojee contributors shared. Go to gojee.com and enter "gojeepotluck" into I Crave. You can also follow #gojeepotluck on Twitter.
The Bicerin (send it over the Alps)
(Adapted from Afar Magazine; its recipe for the original bicerin is an educated approximation, as Cafe Al Bicerin's recipe is "closely guarded")
2 ounces yellow Chartreuse
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 1/2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 shots very strong coffee
1/4 cup freshly whipped cream, sweetened to taste
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk and chocolate until boiling, whisking vigorously all the while. Remove from heat, then pour mixture into a clear cappuccino mug, goblet, etc. Slowly pour in coffee. Top with whipped cream. Slowly pour Chartreuse over whipped cream. Serve with a sundae spoon (optional).
Tasting Notes
Afar's printed recipe calls for whole milk, dark chocolate and espresso. I went with what I went with (2%, semi-sweet, "strong coffee") because I already had them in the house. Having said that, this drink was diabetic coma-inducing enough the way I made it. Proceed with whole/dark/espresso at your own risk. (Seriously, garnish with insulin injectable or something if you must go all the way.)
If you don't have yellow Chartreuse, try making this with a shot of Benedictine instead. Their smell and taste profiles are quite similar, although of course you won't get the same, sunny brightness shining down on your Alps. Don't use green Chartreuse; it's too herbal in taste, and everyone will assume it's creme de menthe and that you made some sort of caffeinated Grasshopper.
I was afraid of melting chocolate in a saucepan rather than a double boiler, but with the milk this was actually not an issue at all. (I did use a nonstick saucepan, for what that's worth.)

Interesting proposition, isn't it.
The gold bug in me says, "hell yeah, tax em, that only means my PM's will rise in value!"
but then the libertarian in me says "taxes are bad, mmkay."
Plus, something tells me this basically only means more FRNs conjured from thin air. Cant put it together, but taxes are not actual wealth creation, so all this would do is make more fake money, which in turn would cause PM's to rise even higher.

Bozeman Deaconess Hospital Receives Five Star Ratings |
Diagnostic Imaging 915 Highland Boulevard Bozeman, MT 59715 406-585-1035 |
October 27, 2009 Bozeman Deaconess Hospital Receives Five Star Ratings for Cardiac Services, Orthopedics and Pulmonary Programs Bozeman Deaconess Hospital's Cardiac Services, Orthopedics, and Pulmonary programs were recognized with 5-star ratings by HealthGrades, the leading independent healthcare ratings company. In addition, all three programs were also ranked in the Top 5 in Montana for the quality of the programs. These findings were included in the Twelfth Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study. "We're pleased that the cardiac, orthopedic and pulmonary programs at Bozeman Deaconess are recognized for these achievements," said John Nordwick, CEO and President of Bozeman Deaconess Health Services. "Our staff and physicians have worked hard to provide our community with the highest level of care and this recognition validates their tremendous effort."
HealthGrades released the Twelfth Annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study, which examined nearly 40 million Medicare hospitalization records for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008. The study looks at trends in mortality and complication rates and also provides the foundation for HealthGrades' quality ratings of procedures and diagnoses at each individual hospital. The largest annual study of patient outcomes at each of the nation's 5,000 nonfederal hospitals found a wide gap in quality between the nation's best hospitals and all others. According to the study, patients at highly rated hospitals have a 52% lower chance of dying compared with the U.S. hospital average, a quality chasm that has persisted for the last decade even as mortality rates, in general, have declined.

The Diabetes Community has been known to grumble about the FDA once or twice before.
OK, fine. We've griped A LOT about the federal agency in how it handles diabetes drug and device reviews.
They don't approve devices fast enough. Why don't they have more stringent requirements for glucometer accuracy? They aren't asking the right questions. They aren't listening to the patient side of the coin enough. What gives?
But finally, they're making moves to…

Looks like we made some news.
Yesterday LGB-poster majikle sent me a pm about Peoria defenseman Alexander Hellström. Majikle claimed that Hellström had been seen wearing a cast on his left wrist, but that the rivermen hadn't reported anything about this, at least not officially. I sent the info to a reporter covering hockey in Umeå, where Hellström's former team Björklöven plays. The reporter called up Hellström to clear things out. Here's a translation of the article.
Link (Swedish).
Alexander Hellströms NHL dream is in pieces. At least for this season.
--It's tough right now, Hellström says.
Just over two weeks ago he twisted his left wrist while fighting for the puck during one of the Peoria Rivermens training passes.
--I thought it was just some normal swellings. But it never got any better, says Hellström, who now walks around with his arm in a cast.
At first he wanted to keep playing AHL-games. But the doctors said no.
--I've begged and pleaded with them to get to play on pain killers. But it was probably just as well that I didn't get to.
After having some X-rays taken earlier this week, the doctors decided that the wrist needded surgery. A heave blow for Alexander Hellström, since he wasn't that far from getting some playing time in the NHL.
The St. Louis Blues, who has Peoria Rivermen as their farm team, has lots of injuries on defensemen at the moment, and if he was ready to go, Alexander Hellström would have been one of the candidates to ghet called up.
--That just makes it extra bad.
within two weeks, it's time for surgery. After that awaits a full month with the arm in a cast, and after that he can finally start rehabilition training.
--Then it's all about getting my strength back.
But by then the season will in all probability be over.
--I'll train hard as hell this summer, that's for sure, says Alexander Hellström.
You read it here first, folks. Thanks majikle, for getting this info out.

Times file photo Spaulding senior guard Luke Roberts hit this 3-pointer to beat Manchester West at the buzzer in the first round of the Division I playoffs. The Red Raiders advanced to the semifinals for the second time since 2008, losing to Merrimack.
There were some very good sports stories in 2012. At the top of the list were the Spaulding boys basketball teams and the ice hockey team both advancing to the semifinals of their respective tournaments; Farmington High senior Paige Smith dominating the NHIAA gymnastics championships and the Nute volleyball team making its sixth trip to the D-III final in eight years.Plus so much more.Let's start last winter with the death of two prominent local sports figures. Bob Berry and Dick Rhodes both died in February at the age of 71. Berry was a legendary Spaulding High School athlete and basketball coach who was inducted into the Rochester Sports Hall of Fame. Rhodes was the first coach of the Spaulding bowling team and a local bowling legend. He helped guide the Red Raiders to the inaugural NHIAA bowling team championship in 2011.The Spaulding ice hockey team shook off three straight years of first-round elimination from the Division II tournament to upset No. 2 Merrimack, 5-3, and advance to the semifinals. Spaulding started the year 1-5-2 (after ending the previous year at 0-5-0), but found a late-season comfort zone. In the upset win over Merrimack, Brent Phillips had two goals and Zach Ellis, Nick Adjutant and Justin Jewell scored once each.

The Spaulding football team completed a disappointing 3-8 campaign on a positive note with a 38-22 win over Somersworth on Thanksgiving. The Scott brothers, Trey and Tyrone, each rushed for over 100 yards and scored two TDs each. Trey eclipsed 1,300 yards rushing and was the lone Red Raider picked to the D-I All-State first team.

Washington (CNN) — Hawaii's newest senator was nominated, appointed, and sworn into his seat so quickly he had to scramble to get himself ready for the red-eye flight to Washington.
"I bought this coat yesterday," Brian Schatz told reporters after landing on the mainland dressed in an overcoat - hardly necessary in Hawaii, where temperatures were in the low 70s on Thursday.
Hours later, he was sworn in by the Senate's top officer, Vice President Joe Biden.
He was escorted into the chamber by Majority Leader Harry Reid and outgoing Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii.
On Wednesday, Gov. Neil Abercrombie appointed Schatz to the seat, which was vacated after the death of longtime Sen. Daniel Inouye. Prior to serving as lieutenant governor, Schatz was a state legislator and executive of a nonprofit group.
"I am honored to serve in this capacity, and I can assure you that if given the opportunity, I will make Hawaii proud," he said after the announcement. "I'm going to work very hard, and I understand the road ahead is going to be challenging for all of us, but it also is potentially a hopeful time to rebuild as a united congressional delegation."
He arrives in Washington as Congressional leaders are wrestling over a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff.
Schatz hitched a ride to Washington on Air Force One with President Barack Obama. Reporters traveling with the president said Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-New Mexico, and Obama's dog Bo were also on the flight.

It is dishonest to say that it is true because you have no facts to back up your claim. However given the research provided, the following statement IS true based on facts given. Fox news, in the last week of election, was infinitely more balanced in relation to the presidential race.
quote:Left-leaning cable news network MSNBC is the most biased of all media outlets, even beating its right-of-center rival FOX News, according to a new study. The study, conducted by Pew Research Center from August 27 to October 21, showed MSNBC aired 259 news segments about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Of those segments, only 3-percent were positive, and 71-percent negative. Likewise, MSNBC aired coverage of President Obama that was 39-percent positive and 15-percent negative, the study shows. The biggest offenders of biased reporting on MSNBC were Martin Bashir, Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton and Lawrence O'Donnell, reports the New York Times. Bashir used his show to portray the Republican contender as having mental issues, while O'Donnell was forced to apologize last April for slandering Romney's Mormon faith as a scheme made up by a man who "got caught having sex with the maid and explained to his wife that God told him to do it." The station routinely uses Obama campaign press releases as actual copy in their reporting, the Times notes, even repeating lines Obama campaign spokespeople have used elsewhere in the media. FOX News is routinely criticized as being biased, while MSNBC is not. FOX Newswas also biased in its coverage, only to the right and not as severe. Segments about President Obama were 6-percent positive and 46-percent negative, while segments about Romney were 12-percent negative and 28-percent positive. The third-most popular cable news outlet, CNN, was biased toward President Obama, only not as severe as MSNBC. The station, which markets itself as more objective than the left-leaning MSNBC and right-centered FOX, ran segments on the president that were 21-percent negative and 18-percent positive, and segments on Romney that were 36-percent negative and 11-percent positive. A similar study conducted by Pew during the 2008 U.S. presidential election showed media bias in both MSNBC and FOX towards their respective sides of the political aisle. The 2012 study showed not only that divide steepening, but becoming more severe in the reporting done by MSNBC.
quote:Of those segments, only 3-percent were positive, and 71-percent negative.

The Family Acceptance Project's research has demonstrated that "parental acceptance, and even neutrality, with regard to a child's sexual orientation" can bring down the attempted suicide rate.
Clinical social worker Caitlin Ryan's Family Acceptance Project (California State University, San Francisco) conducted the first study of the effect of family acceptance and rejection on the health, mental health and well-being of LGBT youth, including suicide, HIV/AIDS and homelessness.[4] Their research shows that LGBT youths "who experience high levels of rejection from their families during adolescence (when compared with those young people who experienced little or no rejection from parents and caregivers) were more than eight times likely to have attempted suicide, more than six times likely to report high levels of depression, more than three times likely to use illegal drugs and more than three times likely to be at high risk for HIV or other STDs" by the time they reach their early 20s.
This higher prevalence of suicidal ideation and overall mental health problems among gay teenagers compared to their heterosexual peers has been attributed to Minority Stress.
Minority stress theory suggests that minority status leads to increased discrimination from the social environment which leads to greater stress and health problems. In the presence of poor emotion regulation skills this can lead to poor mental health. Also, the differential susceptibility hypothesis suggests that for some individuals their physical and mental development is highly dependent on their environment in a "for-better-and-for-worse" fashion. That is, individuals who are highly susceptible will have better than average health in highly supportive environments and significantly worse than average health in hostile, violent environments. This helps us understand racial/ethnic disparities in health conditions as well as the problem of LGBT youth suicide.

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares I'll bet you thought Arnie never did Shakespeare. Well, technically you're right -- except for this brief gag from the infamous '90s bomb Last Action Hero. The meta-action comedy is an underrated flick with fantastic gags, none of which are better than when the public-school protagonist starts daydreaming in English class and imagines what Hamlet would be like if the title character was played by a certain one-man Austrian army. Unsurprisingly, it's much shorter and features far more deaths and cigar-chomping one-liners.

text: 2 Not a great phonefrankmark | 26/02/2014 | See all frankmark's reviews (5)I have an Ace 2 as a works phone as well as a Galaxy S2 as my personal phone. It has to be said that at 160.00 the Ace 2 is alright but there are a number of things I don't like about it. The first is the small screen which makes sending text messages a nightmare; especially with the standard Android keyboard not being the best.The phone restarts itself regularly, usually every 2 days or so, for no apparent reason. This is especially annoying as I have set up a SIM lock so the phone reboots itself then won't recieve any calls or texts.Also the phone has been known to die and need a restart during music playback. It will rarely manage a full album without switching itself off.This is in stark contrast to my Galaxy S2 (which is a few months older than my Ace 2). The Galaxy S2 I have been pretty much 100% happy with; it is a 10 times better phone than the Ace 2

Willie Soon
"The whole point of science is to question accepted dogmas. For that reason, I respect Willie Soon as a good scientist and a courageous citizen.''
-- Freeman Dyson, Boston Globe, November 5, 2013
Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. His discoveries challenge computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism.
Dr. Soon earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in science and his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California.
Since 1992, Dr. Soon has been an astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory. He is also receiving editor in the area of solar and stellar physics for New Astronomy. He writes and lectures both professionally and publicly on important issues related to the sun, other stars, and the Earth, as well as general science topics in astronomy and physics.
Dr. Soon's honors include a 1989 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Graduate Scholastic Award and a Rockwell Dennis Hunt Scholastic Award from the University of Southern California for Athe most representative Ph.D. research thesis" of 1991. In 2003, he was invited to testify to the U.S. Senate.
Also in 2003, Dr. Soon was recognized, with a monetary award, for Adetailed scholarship on biogeological and climatic change over the past 1,000 years" by the Smithsonian Institution. In 2004, Soon received the Petr Beckmann award of the Doctors for Disaster Preparedness for "courage and achievement in defense of scientific truth and freedom." In 2014, Dr. Soon received the "Courage in Defense of Science Award," with a monetary award, from the George C. Marshall Institute. The award was presented at the Ninth International Conference on Climate Change held in Las Vegas.
Dr. Soon is the author of The Maunder Minimum and the Variable Sun-Earth Connection (World Scientific Publishing Company, 2004). He is the coauthor, with Sebastian Lüning, of Chapter 2: "Solar Forcing of Climate," in Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science (The Heartland Institute, 2013), a comprehensive critique of the Working Group I contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Sabatino Truffle Sea Salt
I can't stop huffing this truffle salt! I'm surprised at the potency. Sabatino Tartufi Truffle + Salt is Sicilian sea salt mixed with dried Summer black truffles (plus 'flavors'). Such an excellent value. I bought jars for my pals. I posted it on social media. I'm suddenly very popular. Even my mac n'cheese is strutting with truffle-y high self esteem. I prefer this to 2 other truffle salts and 2 oils (which are synthetic 2,4-dithiapentane in olive oil) I've tried (for a pretty penny!). Sabatino truffle salt is longer lasting than oils and chef reviews tell the importance of truffle essence (ie flavors) in addition to truffle bits in salt - obviously it works. It works so well that you may want to store this pungent, cute 3.2 oz. glass hexagonal jar of truffle salt in a resealable baggy. Hoo!

This seasoning has the perfect amount of truffle flavor in it. Not to mention that for the price, the amount you get is tremendous. I bought this back in November and it's been 3 months and it looks like I've barely used any. It helps that you really only need a pinch or two of the salt to get the truffle flavor. I use it when I make poached eggs with fresh tomato slices on the side. I sprinkle the eggs and tomato with a pinch and it's AMAZING. It's wonderful on salads as well with just a bit of olive oil.

Sabatino Truffle Sea Salt
absolutely love it on mixed greens with good olive oil. Use this amazing spice on just about anything you would sprinkle salt on. Gives the finished product an earthy quality.

This affordable delicacy earns an A+
What a treat! This wonderful salt is abundantly infused with nicely sized flakes of summer truffle with a slightly more subdued flavor than the very expensive winter truffle.
I use it as a finishing salt on just about everything. It's particularly good sprinkled on unsalted kettle cooked potato chips, steamed broccoli, mashed potatoes, sliced fresh tomatoes, and spinach omelettes. Dusting some on your favorite pasta or potato salad will have guests wondering what your secret ingredient is.
It would be nice if it came with a reclosable shaker style top though. Here in Florida my often repeated openings let the humid air into the wide mouthed jar and the sea salt crystals tend to stick together.
I think everyone should try this salt at least once. It's an economical way to sample truffle if you've never before had the opportunity.

Wonderfully versatile
I used the truffle salt on Asparagus in the over with a little olive oil for 10min - Wonderfully flavorful, simple - I'm so impressed with this salt, I can't believe the price. :)
