"For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic."
- Obi-Wan Kenobi, A New Hope
Remember when Obi-Wan first said that simple, but explanatory quote back in the first Star Wars movie? Remember hearing him talk about the lightsaber as an elegant weapon for a more civilized age as Luke activated and waved around his father's lightsaber? Remember Luke's training on Dagobah and listening to Master Yoda talk about the jedi philosophy and the force? Remember when Luke first appeared in Return of the Jedi as a jedi in all but formality? Remember your chills when you recalled that Darth Vader had been a cunning, noble and loyal jedi knight before falling to the dark side?
We were given a short glimpse into what the jedi order once was. It flared our imaginations and gave birth to the mock lightsaber fight. We loved lightsabers, we loved the robes and we loved the mythical and almost spiritual power that jedi wielded. We were also curious about how this order operated? How did it protect the republic? How did it fall?
Then Prequels came out...
We saw a lot of lightsabers, people in robes, jedi in all shapes and sizes, and in many capacities. We also saw that they weren't quite so perfect and were liable to making mistakes. This isn't a problem by itself, but one time too many...these mistakes, some of which were painfully easy to avoid, caught us piecing together a simple sentence in our minds:
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
That was a near exact quote from internet reviewer ConfusedMatthew. While many shun him for hating the Lion King and I felt he was too harsh on Simba myself, I think he was on to something when talking about the Prequels.
There are too many moments in the Prequel Era or the Expanded Universe where the Jedi Order act as something other than the noble protectors that they're supposed to be. Now, there are good people in the order like Revan, Jolee, Lord Hoth, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Mace, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto and Ahsoka and the code itself is good. But the practices of the Old Republic jedi just seem heartless at worst and machine-like at best.
I am not saying that Sith aren't evil or that Jedi are the real bad guys.
This isn't to say that the evil that the sith perpetrate isn't evil. They are the bad guys of the series. They manipulate, scheme and murder without remorse or regret (mostly) and have ignited terrible conflicts that always result in the deaths of millions if not billions of people. Some sith even get off on the carnage they cause, their power feeds on despair, hopelessness and etc.
I just don't think that the jedi of the Old Republic really live up to Obi-Wan's description. Despite the whole "Certain Point of View" thing, Obi-Wan wouldn't have lied to Luke about who the jedi knights were. But imagine Luke's shock when he pieces together the history of the jedi and discovers exactly what his order was following on the footsteps of. Though to be fair that history lesson may have served the New Jedi Order much better in the long run.
We'll start with the films.
In Episode 1, it is shown that there are places in the galaxy that have slavery and even have a booming trade centered around this. It would be understandable for the jedi to be unactive in those areas since the systems involved likely weren't members of the Republic. I can also see why Qui-Gon Jinn only freed Anakin and didn't try harder for his mom, he was in a hurry to save Naboo.
But after Episode 1, not only does Anakin never see his mother until she dies in Episode 2, but the jedi never sent someone back to that planet to buy/free her. Despite knowing that Anakin would feel fear for his mother's safety, they never lift a finger to help despite the rational benefit of allowing Anakin's training to progress with a more at ease mind. Not one that is constantly building up fear and distrust with the jedi order and eventually led to him becoming darth vader a few short years after his mother's death.
What would have been so bad about freeing Anakin's mom? Why couldn't they free her and then make it clear to Anakin that he could only have limited contact due to his duties as a jedi? Did they really have to leave him in the dark to resent the jedi and fear for his mother?
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
Then...we have the issue of Anakin's age in Episode One. Despite Anakin's unprecedented force potential and being the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy about balance...the jedi initially refuse to train him.
Why? Is it because he's too reckless? Is it because he has no patience? Is it because he has too much fear?
Nope, he's too old.
Remember that he's 9 years old.
I could understand why Yoda said those same words to Luke in Empire Strikes Back. Luke was 22/23 when he came to Yoda and the old master only accepted because Luke was the last hope for the jedi order and the galaxy.
Here...what's wrong with a 9 year old?
The answer comes from expanded universe information that states that the majority of jedi began their training as infants. They were tested for force sensitivity, confirmed, taken away from their parents with Republic permission and brainwashed from that time on.
How can a jedi truly understand what it means to be a jedi...if they know nothing else about themselves?
So the jedi have no problems with borderline kidnapping or brainwashing/indoctrinating children from the age of 0? But...a 9 old boy with a high force potential is too old...
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
The issue that I have that makes the jedi moral compass much more subject is Episode 2.
The film opens up with a Seperatist crisis where thousands of star systems are leaving the Republic. Then we see Palpatine talking to the Jedi Masters about negotiations and the Jedi are trying to advice Palpatine that they can't fight the separatists if it comes down to a war.
Hold on...aren't jedi supposed to be mediators? Shouldn't the jedi be sending ambassadors over to the separatists and as a whole act as a go-between for the two sides? Remember that we don't know that the separatists intend for war until the last fourth of the movie. So the jedi are unanimously siding with the republic without giving any consideration as to why all of these star systems are leaving. What kind of signal does this send to the opposition when the jedi side with the corrupt Republic without even coming to talk to you about why you're leaving?
Isn't that an implied message of, "If you leave the republic then you're ass is grass?"
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
Eventually, it does come and the jedi become generals of an illegally made, shaddily funded and oddly sanctioned army of clones who have only been bred and told their whole life that their only purpose is to obey, fight and die! The jedi never have any qualms about this army. They are perfectly content to have these pseudo-slaves die in the millions when the man that they should be fighting is sitting in broad daylight on their capital planet!
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
Believe it or not...things get worst.
I understand that war brings out the best and worst in people...but there's something wrong with this next sentence.
In the Clone Wars Movie, the Jedi Order forms an alliance with Jabba the Hutt so that republic vessels can safely travel through Hutt controlled space.
So...despite having an army of cloned mandalorian badasses led by thousands of jedi knights who can lift tanks with their minds...the jedi order forms an alliance with Jabba the Hutt.
So...the space within Hutt-controlled systems are so essential, that the noble warriors of wisdom will willingly work with a known and infamous despotic gang lord. An overgrown slug whose enterprise is built on top of the capture and selling of sentient beings, gambling, the smuggling of illegal materials and spices, paid murder, furthering corruption, greed, and stained with the blood of countless millions of people.
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
Yet...it gets worst
Sometime into the war, someone puts out a threat on the Chancellor and it's a race against time to find whoever's behind the plot.
So how do the jedi decide to do this? By having Obi-Wan fake his own death so that they can alter his appearance to look like a bounty hunter. Then Obi-Wan break out Cad Bane so that Bane can lead him to this assembly of bounty hunters who Count Dooku is testing for an upcoming job. Then Obi-Wan finds out about the job, relies the information to Yoda and the Council and coordinates with them to thwart Dooku's plan.
That's actually a good plan...
Except that they didn't tell Anakin about it and Anakin almost killed Obi-Wan.
That's smart...Anakin is only one of your more emotionally conflicted jedi knights...it's perfectly logical to leave him out of the loop because of his attachment to his former master and sworn brother. It's not like Obi-Wan could've assured Anakin that he'd be alright and Anakin couldn't calm down a little bit...
Oh wait! That's exactly what could've happened!
In short, the jedi were so paranoid about Anakin's attachment issues and genuine care for his friends that they left him out of the loop. In doing so, they nearly screwed up their own plan and would've been responsible for the death of a one of their own members if Obi-Wan didn't talk Anakin down!
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
It gets worse...
Eventually Darth Maul comes back and takes Savage Opress under his wing. They carve a scythe of terror through the outer rim and even kill a bunch of jedi. Obi Wan and Adi Gallia find them on Florium trying to recruit pirates and Gallia is killed during the battle. It seems like Maul was killed, but since there's no body, Obi-Wan believes that Maul is still alive somewhere in the outer rim.
The response of Yoda?
"A personal matter for you, this is."
Okay...I'll admit that Yoda has a point. Maul did kill Obi-Wan's master and murdered a whole village just to lure him out. So maybe Obi-Wan is taking the search for Maul a little too personally.
On the other hand...SHUT UP!
Yoda...what is Maul's full name? Darth Maul. DARTH...MAUL...He is a Dark Lord of the Sith who is an accomplice for an unprovoked invasion and has murdered at least 3 jedi. This Maul is also working with a known dark jedi who has also killed many jedi including a member of the Jedi Council.
These are the last two people that the jedi should dismiss as irrelevant. But that's exactly what the jedi do. They dismiss Maul for dead without even sending a pair of jedi out just to be safe. Remember that the Sith are the sworn enemies of the jedi and Maul is the first sith to had been seen in nearly a thousand years.
Maybe you guys would want to capture Maul? Question him about the other sith? You know...the one who you know is somehow influencing the Senate?
Nah! We've got a war to fight! What's the worst that a legitimate Sith Lord could do in the Outer Rim?
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
Wonder what becomes of the Jedi's decision?
Well...Maul meets up with a splinter Mandolorian group called Death Watch, gathers a collective of warriors, bounty hunters, crime families and even Jabba the Hutt himself (big surprise) and single-handedly takes over Mandalore in a mostly bloodless coup. Duchess Satine is imprisoned and briefly escapes long enough to send out a message to the Jedi calling for help.
The Jedi basically tell her to go f$#@ herself.
Why? Because Mandalore is a neutral world and Death Watch is no longer affiliated with the Separatists so the Republic can't authorize an expedition. If Obi-Wan wants to help Satine, he'll have to go alone. I'm sure that he'll be alright, he'll take that bounty hunter armor from when everyone thought he was dead and burrow Anakin's ship, the Twilight. I mean what's the worst that could possibly happen...
(The Twilight is blown up; Satine is choked and stabbed by Maul; she then dies in Obi-Wan's arms; And Mandalore effectively remains under the control of the Sith.)
So...the guardians of peace and justice refuse a call for help because the planet making the call is neutral...A sovereign state is appealing to you for helping while under assault by crime lords and blood-thirsty mandalorians and the jedi say no. They didn't even send anyone with Obi-Wan...they just let him go by himself and that's it.
So...the jedi can take force sensitive infants from any world whether that world is part of the republic or not...but if that world is under attack and it calls to the jedi for help...the jedi can say no without it being a breach in their code...
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
Episode 3 comes around and now...the jedi just seem like idiots.
Short recap, Anakin and Obi-Wan saved the Chancellor and safely landed a heavily damaged dreadnought after Anakin defeated and killed Count Dooku. Palpatine appoints Anakin as his personal representative on the Jedi Council and the Jedi allow the appointment, but they don't grant Anakin the rank of master.
I know that Anakin isn't perfect, but considering the track record of the Jedi Order...they're the last guys who should be pointing fingers. Besides, hasn't the kid more than proved himself by training a padawan and defeating a sith lord who was originally one of the most talented and powerful jedi masters in recent history? Would be so wrong to grant him the title of Master?
Apparently yes.
Based on the following conversation, the Jedi don't like that Palpatine is meddling in Jedi Affairs and want Anakin to act as a spy. So...you denied Anakin the rank of Master as a take-that to Palpatine for overstepping his bounds and then they want this same Anakin to spy on Palpatine? Doesn't denying him a reasonable promotion just make him more antagonistic towards you guys and less likely to trust you when you ask him to spy on the leader of the Republic?
So...forming alliances with crime bosses, ignoring blatant threats to galactic security, denying the pleas of a sovereign government under fire, child brainwashing, and leading a cloned slave army are not at all breaches in the Jedi Code. So why would denial of promotion be a problem?
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
Then there's the whole Palpatine infiltration thing. I've never understood why thousands and thousands of jedi couldn't sense Palpatine until it was too late or didn't act until it was too late. You expect me to believe that this guy has been in the public highlight over ten years and the Jedi were never at least suspicious of him?
Yoda is nearly 900 years old, but he couldn't sense anything from the guy sitting in front of him?
Yes, there's such a thing as Force Stealth. But this is just pushing it. Palpatine was really able to hide under the noses of the Jedi Order when his capital building is within sight of the Jedi Order's Headquarters?
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
The above is a minor point up until we find out that the Jedi have sensed something about Palpatine.
"I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi, the dark side surrounds the Chancellor."
Then what are you waiting for?
Just prove that Palpatine doesn't have the people's best interest at heart and convince them to dethrone Palpatine. I know that the emergency powers gave him a lot of power, but that doesn't change the fact that Palpatine's grand plan could have been averted by the most basic amount of common sense.
Why didn't the Jedi do any of the following:
1) Relay this information to a Jedi-sympathetic Senator like Bail Organa, Mon Mothma or Padme and have them declare a vote of no confidence in the Chancellor?
2) Give him a lie detector test and have a jedi search his feelings. If Palpatine can block out the jedi then it means that he knows about the force and is force sensitive himself.
3) Check his midi-chlorian count. If Palpatine refuses, then it means that he's hiding something. If he accepts, then bingo with scientific proof.
4) Execute Order 65. When Anakin comes back and tells Mace that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, why doesn't Mace immediately relay this information to any nearby clone commander? They know that sith are enemies of the republic and if Palpatine is a sith then he must be detained or killed. Turn Palpatine's greatest asset against him.
5) Confront him in public. Instead of trying to arrest Palpatine in his office where you're all alone, why not do so in a public place. If Palpatine tries to use his sith abilities then everyone will see and if he doesn't then the jedi can safely apply force resistant cuffs to him or put him in a ray shield.
6) Wear a wire. Why didn't Anakin, Mace or any of the other fodder jedi wear a wire or some kind of camera that records Palpatine's movements? It's a basic technology that earthling's use and the Star Wars universe is a technological paradise. So why would a wire be out of the question?
And if all else fails and Order 66 still happens...why didn't Yoda and Obi-Wan...
7) Relay the damning evidence against Palpatine to the Senate?
Remember that the Jedi Archives contain security recordings on everything that happened in the temple with scenes of a Fallen Anakin killing younglings, killing jedi and bowing before Palpatine in dark robes and being called Darth Vader.
So...what did they do with the recording?
Why didn't Obi-Wan show it to Padme and have Padme show it to her friends and then those friends can show their friends until the majority of the Senate is calling out Palpatine on his bullshit. Remember that in the early stages of his empire, Palpatine still needed the Senate to maintain control of the vast galaxy. If Palpatine tries to repress them with force then they'll turn against him and if he attempts to lie then they'll outright rebel with various no-win uprisings for Palpatine and his army.
But...they don't do that...
If that wasn't possible, then why didn't they at least...
8) Team up together and murder Palpatine?
Remember, that Obi-Wan managed to defeat Anakin who was described as being more powerful than either Palpatine or Yoda and Yoda tied against Palpatine.
So why didn't the two jedi masters team up together and take on each sith at a time?
They could attack Palpatine and kill him then track down Anakin and kill/capture him. The galaxy may still hate the jedi, but at least the Sith are destroyed and the jedi can still rebuild in secret...
Nope! They split up and practically fail...Obi-Wan even leaves Anakin to burn to death with only one limp and doesn't have the common courtesy to give the kid a mercifully quick death?
"What the hell kind of Jedi are these? Guardians of Peace and Justice my ass!"
And as an afternote! How about the whole Ahsoka Trial?
During the recent season finale Star Wars the Clone Wars, someone bombs the Jedi Temple hanger because they don't like that the jedi are leading a war. As a result, Ahsoka and Anakin are assigned to find the bomber while dealing with Tarkin whose favorite hobby is being a complete and utter prick.
But then, they find the bomber and she's force choked to death when Ahsoka goes to visit her. Believing that Ahsoka was the one who force choked the bomber, she's labeled as a fugitive and forced into hiding. Along the way, she's attacked by a masked lightsaber duelist who seems to be Ventress and after fighting for her life, she lands into a storage depot with bombs in it. Then she's captured and interrogated by the jedi.
Now think about this. Ahsoka has no knowledge of how to use the force to choke people as she is a padawan...there are plenty of security cameras that should confirm that Ahsoka didn't kill those clone troopers, not to mention the logs of their own helmets...the timeframe for which Ahsoka would've had to plan and pull off the bombing would've made no sense...and searching her feelings will tell you that she's not lying when she says that she didn't do it.
The Jedi Order kicks her out and sends her to a Republic Kangaroo Court...
So let me get this straight...the Jedi Order...guardians of peace and justice who are intuned with the force...actually thought that there was enough evidence to ban Ahsoka from the Order and let her be put on trial with a possible penalty of death? They really thought that Ahsoka...a war hero and one of the nicest people around...would actually choke someone to death?...They really believe that Ahsoka...a jedi who feels true remorse and regret whenever a clone dies under her command...would just murder several troopers without a second thought? They really believe that Ahsoka...one of the most steadfast and proactive members of the jedi order...would actually coordinate an attack on the Jedi Temple which has been her home since she was a child?
And they actually kicked her out...
What The Hell Kind of Jedi Are These? Guardians Of Peace And Justice MY ASS!"
I wouldn't be surprised if Ahsoka was muttering the very same thing when she left the Order! I don't blame her and that's just ignoring every other item on this list!
But believe it or not...this is only half of the whole picture.
It gets worst...
Way...F@#$ing Worst....
Continued in Part 2....

Actually, following the BLFS book, ScrollKeeper is not optional. It is a recommended dependency of GNOME Doc Utils which is required for GDM. There is even a note attached to the GDU instructions that says you *can* install GDU without ScrollKeeper but you will be missing required functionality. So, the BLFS staff expects ScrollKeeper to be installed when you begin the installation of GDM. Dependencies (required by another dependency) are not mentioned again for the sake of redundancy. Hopefully, this clarifies the issue of "on gdm itself it doesn't state it needs scrollkeeper on the book anyway but in configure it does". -- Randy

"Increased activity" by Russian planes near California, Guam: US general
Published on May 6, 2014 10:28 AM
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - The head of US air forces in the Pacific said on Monday that Russia's intervention in Ukraine had been accompanied by a significant increase in Russian air activity in the Asia-Pacific region in a show of strength and to gather intelligence.
General Herbert "Hawk" Carlisle said the activity had included Russian flights to the coast of California, and around the US Pacific island of Guam.
Mr Carlisle said the number of long-range Russian patrols around the Japanese islands and Korea had increased "drastically".
He said there had also been "a lot more ship activity as well."

World's Greatest Horseman Competition Begins on Thursday, June 3! NRCHA Press Release
Produced by the National Reined Cow Horse Association, the World's Greatest event celebrates the skills and training methods of the traditional California Vaquero and represents the most highly schooled cow horses in the world. Each entry is shown by one rider in cutting, reining, steer roping and cow work and the same bridle is used throughout.
Former winners Ted Robinson, Bob Avila and Ron Ralls lead a field of thirty horsemen who will vie for the opportunity to become one of the top ten finalists. Those finalists will compete in all four events on Saturday for a first place purse of $30,000.
The action begins on Thursday morning at 9 am with the Herd Work preliminaries.
For the second year, the elite All Around competition is being held in conjunction with the Coors Ranch Rodeo and Cowboy Roundup. There will be no admission charge to the World's Greatest Horseman until the Saturday night cow work finals, which is included in the Coors Ranch Rodeo ticket for the evening.
A special division of the World's Greatest Horseman competition features ranch cowboys in three of the four World's Greatest Events (they do not do the rein work). Points earned in World's Greatest ranch cowboy competition and the other Ranch Rodeo events will determine the World Champion Ranch Cowboy.

Jurassic Bark RescueA Giant and Extra Large All Breed Dog Rescue501 (c) (3) Tax Exempt Public CharityBe sure to follow us on Facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Jurassicark-Rescue/153240124690374and Twiter @ kellyeleboff Please Take a moment to watch this - it is our first attempt at making a video. |
Saving one life at a time Large and Giant breed dogs can sometimes be mistakenly labeled as dangerous or aggressive, when the truth is they are just ...BIG. We specialize in Giant Breeds our dogs typically start at 90 lbs. That label is the difference between life and death in a shelter. At Jurassic Bark Rescue our mission is simple, to save the lives of as many shelter and homeless animals as possible. We are an all breed, all volunteer rescue group serving Houston, Texas and the surrounding areas. We are just starting and are still very small. We work with all breeds and all community and city rescue groups, shelters and pounds. We volunteer our time to other rescue organizations in the hope that by working together we can share knowledge and resources to help ease the homeless pet crisis. We concentrate on large and giant breed dogs primarily because they don't last long in a shelter. There is simply no room. Larger dogs require more resources and have their own special veterinary challenges. Shelters have so many animals coming in daily they cannot possibly get the care they need. It comes down to numbers. Each one of these numbers represents a life. A life we can save. A life YOU can save. By rescuing large and giant breed dogs we hope to alleviate some of the overcrowding in our shelters, free up space, resources, and supplies, thus giving more shelter animals a better chance of survival. At Jurassic Bark we do not make judgment on those life is worth saving, we believe no animal should be killed simply because of a lack of space, an arbitrary timetable or a budget. No animal should languish in a canine prison just because they are not the hot breed of the moment, or because they cannot fit in a designer purse. Our dogs are placed in Foster homes, loved and cared for until a forever home is found. All life is precious and as a community we must work together to protect and preserve it.
A Rescued Dog's Baggage Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed, Hmm . . . Yes there it is, right on the top. Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss; As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave - I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, Will you add to my baggage? Or will you just look at my things To put away my baggage, to never repack? Too many times dogs are returned to shelters because people don't understand....give your rescue a chance.

PLease call Stafford OAks Veterinary Hospital 281-499-3538 Kuba Malamute/Wolf Hybrid 1995-2012 R.I.P At Jurassic Bark we never a put a dog up for adoption until we have had time to evaluate each one. We completely vet each dog and address any medical needs, we live with them and address any socialization, temperament and emotional conditions. All this takes time, we never post a dog before he or she is ready. We want to be sure that they are healthy and that there will be a smooth transition into their new home. As dogs become available for adoption they will be posted, some just need a little more time than others. Here is our current adoptable list.

Falcor The Mighty! Our new rescue was picked up as a stray wondering along a road in rural Montgomery County... Meet Falcor. Falcor is the name of the Flying Luck Dragon from the Never ending Story... and there was something about this dog that reminds me of him !! He has almost no hair, he smells of infection , is all bloody. His ears are infected and there was a collar or rope or chain that was embedded in his neck at some point. He is ALSO.. sweet, loving, energetic, treat motivated, and lets you know when he has to go out! Thank you Minda Emas Harris and the dedicated staff at Official Site of Montgomery County Animal Shelter for everything you did to make sure he got out !! Falcor is being treated by Dr Heather Puksta, aka Best Vet EVER, at Stafford Oaks Veterinary Hospital. If you would like to help in Falcor's recovery you can donate straight to Stafford Oaks Veterinary Hospital at 281-499-3538 or here on our site. We will be posting regular updates on Falcors' road to recovery, so stay tuned! You can check his progress daily at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jurassic-Bark-Rescue/153240124690374?ref=hl
SHASTA'S STORY Recently we were asked to help out with an abandoned Chow. The owners moved out of state and left their beautiful Red Chow on the front porch where she sat and waited for their return...for 5 days. We were called when Animal Control picked up the dog and took her to a kill shelter where Chows are on the " Dangerous Dog" list and are NOT adopted out to the public. Even though she is quite small for our rescue, we knew she would not stand a chance in the shelter and we could not turn our backs. Shasta already has a new family waiting for her. Where she will never have to worry about being left behind again !! The local houston Fox News station did a story on Shasta , here is the link. Shasta BEFORE ! ...BEFORE.. Shasta AFTER !!!!! "The greatest wisdom in life is knowing the difference between right and wrong, the greatest purpose in life is fighting for what is right, and the greatest satisfaction is knowing you made a difference". The Latest Facts and Figures This is why rescue /adoption/fostering is SOOOOOOOOO important !!!! The Mayor's Task Force report: The Facts In the United States, Houston,Texas is second only to San Antonio in the number of animals killed in our shelters each year. I found this a few months ago and think everyone should read it, when we have better information we can make better choices. This is from an animal shelter manager, an inside look at what really happens. How We Can Help We will take an owner surrender - dogs must be in excess of 90 lbs. We won't let this happen to your dog. We understand that sometimes things happen, unforeseen and unfortunate things, and we do not believe that any dog should be punished because of that. When we take an owner surrender we guarantee that the dog will NEVER be taken to a shelter. We will keep the dog in our care or a foster home until the perfect new situation can be found. Jurassic Bark does reserve the right to charge a surrender fee depending on the size and severity if the situation and we look at each dog on a individual basis. |

Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis controls diverse physiological processes in eukaryotes. However, few in vivo targets of the mammalian Cdc34 and Rad6 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes are known. A yeast-based genetic assay to identify proteins that interact with human Cdc34 resulted in three cDNAs encoding bZIP DNA binding motifs. Two of these interactants are repressors of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-induced transcription: hICERIIgamma, a product of the CREM gene, and hATF5, a novel ATF homolog. Transfection assays with mammalian cells demonstrate both hCdc34- and hRad6B-dependent ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of hICERIIgamma and hATF5. This degradation requires an active ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and results in abrogation of ICERIIgamma- and ATF5-mediated repression of cAMP-induced transcription. Consistent with these results, the endogenous ICER protein is elevated in cells which are null for murine Rad6B (mHR6B-/-) or transfected with dominant negative and antisense constructs of human CDC34. Based on the requirement for CREM/ICER and Rad6B proteins in spermatogenesis, we determined expression of Cdc34, Rad6B, CREM/ICER isoforms, and the Skp1-Cullin-F-box ubiquitin protein ligase subunits Cul-1 and Cul-2, which are associated with Cdc34 activity during murine testicular development. Cdc34, Rad6B, and the Cullin proteins are expressed in a developmentally regulated manner, with distinctly different patterns for Cdc34 and the Cullin proteins in germ cells. The Cdc34 and Rad6B proteins are significantly elevated in meiotic and postmeiotic haploid germ cells when chromatin modifications occur. Thus, the stability of specific mammalian transcription factors is the result of complex targeting by multiple ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and may have an impact on cAMP-inducible gene regulation during both meiotic and mitotic cell cycles.

Thread: Lilia?
May 16th, 2013 04:07 PM #1
I love nature names, always have always will but it's hard to find one that's not over used or that doesn't sound too "out there" or hippy-ish. I have Dahlia near the top of my list as an example.
ANYWAY. My friend suggested Lilia (LILY-uh) last weekend and the name has been resonating in my head since then. What do you think? It's close enough to Lily to bring the flower (one of my favorites) to mind, but is it too close that it will get lost in a sea of Lily/Leila/Lillians? Its pretty, but is it boring? And has the nature aspect of the name gotten lost?

In theory I love the name Lilia, I agree with previous poster about it having an ethereal feel to it. I don't think it will get lost amongst the other Lily's out there, yet it's similar enough to suit the super popular double L names at the moment. However, when I say the name it doesn't roll easy for me, like I haven't quit finished saying the name? I'm not sure how to explain it properly... It is still currently on my short list for baby no. 3 though! It's so beautiful!
I have a major soft spot for Lily, Lilac & LiliaMila Poppy .. Haiden James .. Expecting baby no.3 due November 23!

Heimdall's Clique: Band Nerds
You'll probably hear the members of this clique before you see them, as the sounds of their well-tuned instruments waft down from the music room during lunchtime. There's nothing they like better than a good riff, and when they get together, the results are ear-splitting. The sound of Heimdall's horn is so piercing that when he blows it, everyone in the world can hear (and know Ragnarök is close at hand). When he's joined by lutists and flautists, the results are pure harmony.
This Greek half-man, half-goat god is best known for his pipes. When Pan fell in love with a water-nymph, he wasn't deterred when she shape-shifted into a river reed. He simply joined her with some other reeds to make a set of pipes, and kept her with him. Nicely done, Pan.
This Greek god of music was so entranced by the sounds of the lyre invented by the infant Hermes, that he traded some of his prized cattle to become its owner. It's a good thing, too, because Hermes had already used the cattle's entrails to make its strings. Mmm. Now Apollo is master of the lyre, and doesn't leave home without it.
The Angel Gabriel
Although neither the Hebrew Bible nor the New Testament specifies which of the archangels will sound the trumpet blast that signals the beginning of the apocalypse, English literary culture has designated Gabriel as the horn-blower. He appears in everything from Renaissance paintings to modern Christmas cards holding a long golden horn. Toot away, Gabriel.

So long story short, my GF's Taco had the bumper skin cracked because of some asshat in a Dodge Ram. She was parked at Target and the guy backed into her front bumper. His or her hitch ball drove right under the front bumper and when they pulled out...it took the bumper with it. She needs a new bumper skin to say the least.
Would prefer silver, but any color will do. Let me know if any of you fellas with an aftermarket bumper wants to rid of the OE bumper skin to help us out. Thanks again guys!
Kind Regards,

At the Forge - Database Modeling with Django
Now that our data model is in place, let's see how we can work with it. Given that our model is brand new, and that there is no data currently stored in it, let's begin by adding some data to it.
In last month's column, we saw how each URL request in Django results in the invocation of a method. Which method is invoked depends on the settings of urls.py, a site-wide configuration file that tells Django what application and method should be associated with what URL.
One way to add data to our blog database, and to get some practice working with the various components of Django, is to do so via a view and template. Normally, I would demonstrate how to do this with an HTML form, but for space reasons, I use a simpler (and more contrived) way, inserting dummy data into the database.
The first step is to add a new line to the definition of the urlpatterns variable, defined in urls.py:
('^blog/add_dummy_data', 'mysite.blog.add_dummy_data')
Now, we can go to the URL /blog/add_dummy_data, and Django will invoke the blog.add_dummy_data method. The beginning of this method is quite simple, namely:
def add_dummy_data(request):
The name of the method is obvious from the configuration file. The number of parameters is determined by the number of parenthesized groups in urlpatterns.
Now what do we do? If we were dealing with raw SQL, I would suggest the following:
INSERT INTO Posting (title, body, posted_at) VALUES ('Dummy 1 headline', 'This is my first blog post', NOW - interval '1 hour'); INSERT INTO Posting (title, body, posted_at) VALUES ('Dummy 2 headline', 'This is my second blog post', NOW());
These will insert two rows into the Posting file: the first with a timestamp from one hour ago and the second with a current timestamp.
But, we don't want to use SQL. We want to use Python, creating objects that automatically map to these INSERT statements. So, it makes sense that all we have to do is create new instances of the Posting object, passing it appropriate parameters. And, sure enough, we can do that:
p = Posting(title='Dummy 1 headline', body='This is my first blog post', posted_at=(datetime.now() - timedelta(0, 0, 0, 0, 1))) p.save() p = Posting(title='Dummy 2 headline', body='This is my second blog post', posted_at=datetime.now()) p.save()
If you are an experienced Python programmer, the above code shouldn't be very surprising at all. We simply are creating two new instances of Posting, passing arguments that will set the object's attributes. Then, we invoke the save() method on each posting, which presumably saves the posting to disk.
Finally, we finish our method with:
return HttpResponse("Created blog posts.")
With the method (shown in Listing 1) defined, start up the server:
python manage.py runserver 22.214.171.124:8000
Then, point the Web browser to the URL defined in urls.py, and get the message:
Created blog posts.
Next, check the database, just to be sure:
atf=# \x Expanded display is on. atf=# select * from blog_posting; -[ RECORD 1 ]----+------------------------------ id | 1 title | Dummy 1 headline body | This is my first blog post publication_date | 2007-06-15 16:13:34.609396-05 -[ RECORD 2 ]----+------------------------------ id | 2 title | Dummy 2 headline body | This is my second blog post publication_date | 2007-06-15 16:14:34.675235-05
As you can see, we were able to create these new objects successfully and store them in the database.
Listing 1. models.py for Creating New Dummy Posts
from django.template import Context, loader from django.http import HttpResponse from blog.models import Posting from datetime import * def add_dummy_data(request): p = Posting(title='Dummy 1 headline', body='This is my first blog post', publication_date=(datetime.now() - timedelta(0, 0, 0, 0,1))) p.save() p = Posting(title='Dummy 2 headline', body='This is my second blog post', publication_date=datetime.now()) p.save() return HttpResponse("Created blog posts.")
Now that we've created these objects, let's see if we can retrieve and display them—a pretty typical thing to do if you write applications in Django. Because the most common thing you might want to do with a blog is display all of the postings in reverse chronological order, we write our index method to do that. If you still don't have an entry in urls.py for index, make sure there is a line that looks like the following in the definition of urlpatterns:
(r'^blog/$', 'mysite.blog.views.index'),
Now, we open up views.py to create our index method. The first task in that method is to get all the postings. Django makes that trivially easy to do:
postings = Posting.objects.all()
This retrieves all the instances of Posting (which happen to be stored as rows in our database) and assigns them to the variable postings. This variable isn't a list, but an instance of a QuerySet object. We most likely will want to iterate over the QuerySet, but we can perform other operations on it, such as reordering it or retrieving selected elements.
We also can select particular items from the database. This is done with two methods: one called filter (which returns objects that match a restrictive function) and one called except (which does the opposite, returning objects that are false for a function). Both filter and except take a large number of parameters, built up dynamically by joining column names with various functions. The column name and function name are joined with a double underscore (__).
For example, we can get only those postings from this year:
this_year_postings = Posting.objects.filter( publication_date__gte=datetime(2007, 1, 1))
Sure enough, this returns both of our postings. Because filter and except return QuerySet objects, we can chain them together, creating just the query we want in Python code.
But, what if we want only the most recent posting? If you're thinking there will be a "limit" feature, you've been working at the SQL level (or in Rails) for too long. Because QuerySets use lazy evaluation, you simply can say:
this_year_postings = Posting.objects.filter( publication_date__gte=datetime(2007, 1, 1))[0]
We similarly can order our objects by using the order_by method on them, which can be chained along with filter and exclude:
latest_posting = Posting.objects.filter( publication_date__gte=datetime(2007, 1, 1)).order_by('-publication_date')[0]
Notice that we put a minus sign (-) before the word publication_date. This tells Django we want to order the results in reverse.
Django has a wealth of such methods, giving both a great deal of flexibility in constructing your queries and a rich Python API that allows you to ignore the low-level SQL calls almost entirely.
Finally, we can get information out of our object as we would retrieve it from any Python object:
output += "
%s
\n" % posting.title output += "
%s
\n" % posting.publication_date.isoformat() output += "
%s
\n\n\n" % posting.body
If we put this all together, as shown in Listing 2, we'll have a view method (albeit without a proper Django template) that shows each of the blog postings.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

A while back, I read this clickbait from Gizmondo. It's pretty much data-free, meaning it wasn't well researched. I made the mistake of clicking on a controversial link, and I am going to follow up by making the fatal mistake of talking about a complex subject on the Internet.
The article states a few grim facts:
- Renewable energy infrastructure mandates are going to drive up the price of electricity
- Our electrical grid is old, inefficient and fragile. It wastes power and will become more prone to failures
- Federal and state mandates for renewable energy will drive adoption of technologies that are very expensive and not nearly as effective as fossil fuels, driving up the price for energy
People who write about energy all advocate for a single solution (wind, solar, nuclear, and so on) or they advocate for energy conservation (fewer cars, locally produced food, and the like). What's missing from a lot of articles, blog posts, and comments is a holistic view of the problem and its solutions. The problem is quite complex:
- Global supply chains mean moving things all over the planet, including vitally important things like food. Transportation = petroleum.
- Even food grown in the U.S. involves the use of petrochemicals for fertilizers and farm equipment. Industrial farming = petroleum.
- Consumer goods are made almost entirely from plastic. Plastic = petroleum.
- Manufacturing renewable energy equipment takes energy and plastics. Renewable energy = Coal + Petroleum.
- Life in the U.S. is built around the automobile. Cars = petroleum.
- Even electric cars have fiberglass bodies and tires made from petroleum.
- Electric cars just shift energy needs from oil to coal or natural gas.
What this means is that pretty much everyone is right: we do need to cut energy consumption tremendously while also improving renewable energy technologies. It also means that the gap between the coal and oil we burn now, and the wind and solar tech that is still decades off has to be filled. Possibly by natural gas, but more likely by nuclear. Think of these advances as happening in cycles:
- A breakthrough in energy technology makes renewable energy more effective and/or affordable – Like consumer grade solar and wind equipment.
- Advances in conservation reduce the need for power making renewable energy better able to offset the use of fossil fuels. Like the LED lightbulb or the hybrid automobile.

Few shows have as memorable a score as the opening song on HBO's Game of Thrones. Seriously, just try to listen to the music without feeling inspired to march over to your neighbor's house to demand they return that appliance they swear they never borrowed. It just won't happen. But it never hurts to stray away from the constant onslaught of violence and bloodshed that comes with war, horse beheadings, and infant smoke demons — at least once in a while. Luckily for us, Adam WarRock — who famously came up with songs for Parks and Recreation and Justified — has based a new hip-hop track specifically for GoT, based on the sage advice offered in Season 1 by Syrio Forel to Arya Stark. "There is only one thing we say to death: Not Today."
Normally, you wouldn't think hip-hop and a medieval war story would go hand-in-hand (though can't you just picture Tyrion rocking out to this in a nightclub?). But just like a Lannister always pays his debts, WarRock manages to bring some humor to these troubling times while still incorporating the many obstacles we've seen so far amid the battle for the Iron Throne.
When you play the Game of Rap you either chant or you rhyme. This song manages to do a little bit of both.

Niagara Purple Eagles (2-3)
@Sam Houston St. Bearkats (1-4)
Wednesday, November 23
University Center - Macon, GA
Attendance: None
Sam Houston St.
Macon, GA (Sports Network) - Juan'ya Green scored five points during a game- ending run Niagara used to knock off Sam Houston State, 59-52, in the final night of the CBE Classic.
Niagara went on a 9-2 run over the final five minutes of play, a stretch Green started with a three-pointer and ended with two free throws. He paced the Purple Eagles (2-3) with 20 points and Antoine Mason added 15 points and seven rebounds. Marvin Jordan contributed 10 points and five rebounds to the win.
Marcus James led Sam Houston State (1-4) with 14 points and nine rebounds, but had eight turnovers. Michael Holyfield contributed 13 points and eight boards.
The Bearkats led for much of the first half. But Skylar Jones gave the Purple Eagles a 24-23 lead with 4:38 to go with a layup, and Niagara ended the half with a 26-25 edge.
Niagara built a 43-36 lead in the second half, but the Bearkats fought back to tie the game.
Konner Tucker drained a three-pointer to even the game at 50 with just over five minutes to play, but the Purple Eagles' defense clamped down the rest of the way. Sam Houston State's only two points during the stretch came on free throws by James.

When the standard deviation of the prevalence estimate is not known, formal inferences cannot be made about the prevalence of nutrient inadequacy in a group; for example, one cannot determine whether a prevalence estimate differs from zero, or whether prevalence estimates in two groups are different. The statistical approaches included in this report can be used to partially estimate the standard deviation of a prevalence estimate, but these approaches account only for the uncertainty in the estimates of usual intakes in the group.
Uncertainty also exists in requirement estimates. Although the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) is a fixed and known quantity, based on data reported in the scientific literature, it is also an estimate of an unobservable median requirement for a group. Statistical methods for estimating the standard deviation of the EAR and the standard deviation of the usual intake distribution are, in principle, available. More difficult from a statistical point of view is combining the two sources of uncertainty into an estimate of the standard deviation for the prevalence of nutrient inadequacy.
Research is needed on ways to better match the biomarkers used to set requirements with the effect of dietary intake on those same biomarkers. Research is also needed on the appropriate biochemical data to collect so that these data can be combined with dietary intake data in assessment. Biomarker and other biochemical data are usually too expensive, time-consuming, or both, to collect on large numbers of individuals. However, when this information is available, it can be used in combination with intake data to give a more accurate estimate of the probability of inadequacy. Because biomarker and intake data are very different proxies for the same unobservable variable (nutrient status), combining the information they provide into an estimate of nutritional status for each individual in a group is a challenging statistical task.
Additional research is also needed for applications that assess the nutrient intakes of different subgroups of the population. In particular, evaluations of nutrition assistance programs typically compare nutrient intakes for program participants and a similar group of nonparticipants. A difficult and not fully explored research question is how to estimate differences in the prevalence of inadequacy between subgroups, after controlling for other factors that also affect nutrient intake. Chapter 7 describes a possible approach to addressing this question based on multiple regression analysis, but research is needed to apply this approach to existing survey data sets such as the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.

Conservation of archaeological sites, including those announced in the recent State budget, is likely to be affected with a group of aggrieved candidates protesting their non-selection to vacant posts in the State archaeology department.
The aspirants have threatened to move court to stall the appointment of 16 others who will join work on a temporary basis on June 1.
As many as 32 posts in the department, including those of 14 curators, ten archaeological officers, five epigraphists and a pre-historic epigraphist and archaeologist have been vacant for years now.
Archaeological experts fear the threat by the non-selected candidates will further delay conservation works that need to be undertaken on a war footing in several of the 85 protected monuments in the State.
Further, the delay in filling up the vacancies will delay heritage projects including new excavations announced in the recent budget.
Some of the projects that have been scheduled for 2013-14 include excavation in Srirangam — the assembly constituency of the Chief Minister — in Tiruchi, at a cost of Rs. 2 lakh, conservation of a Swasthik well in Lalgudi in Tiruchi at a cost of Rs. 25 lakh and conservation of Manora memorial pillar at Sarabendrarajapattinam in Pattukottai of Thanjavur at a cost of Rs. 12 lakh.
"By June this year, only four senior archaeologists will be available in the department for all its activities including conservation and administration, across the State, as the rest of them would retire by then. Threats by the disgruntled archaeologists will only further paralyse the department," said a government official.
Three years ago, a group of aspirants filed a case with the Madurai bench of the Madras High Court against their non-selection when the State archaeology department attempted to fill 32 vacant posts. A judgement is awaited in the case.
"It is unfair to appoint new recruits when there is a related case pending in the court," said an aspirant, who declined to be named.
As a stop-gap measure till the regular candidates are appointed, the State government issued an order in March this year, and ordered the commissioner of archaeology to fill up 16 posts in the department on a temporary contract basis with a consolidated pay of Rs. 15,000 per month.
Accordingly, around 100 applicants across the State applied. After personal interviews with the candidates on May 15, the department finalised a list of candidates who will joining work on June 1.
Two site museum curators will be appointed in Karur and a curator each at site museums in Poondi (Tiruvallur), Gangaikondacholapuram (Perambalur), Coimbatore, Tirukkoilur (Villupuram), Dharmapuri and Tranquebar (Nagapattinam). Further, the positions of archaeological officers in five district offices, including Tirunelveli, Kanyakumari, Nagerkoil and Chidambaram, will be filled.

Dems appear to set deadline for bipartisan healthcare
In a meeting with the president Tuesday, Senate Democrats agree to work with Republicans on a bipartisan bill – but only until the middle of September.
Jim Young/Reuters
At a White House luncheon today, President Obama praised Senate Democrats for efforts to find a bipartisan path to overhaul the nation's $2.5 trillion healthcare system.
But the tone turned urgent when the president talked about the need to move a healthcare bill out of the Congress and to his desk this year.
"There was absolute unity in the caucus. Different ideas were expressed, but every idea was that we understand that before year's end we're going to get comprehensive healthcare reform," said Senate majority leader Harry Reid to reporters after the event. "Everyone recognizes that we are going to do, if there's any way humanly possible, a bipartisan bill. We'll continue to work with them as long as we have to," he added.
But if that path fails, Democrats at the event say the president also spoke of the need to try something else. And the point at which Democrats go it alone may well be Sept. 15, they said.
Four congressional committees, two in the Senate and two in the House, have completed work on drafts of a bill. The lone holdout is the Senate Finance Committee, where chairman Max Baucus (D) of Montana, two other Democrats and three Republicans, have been negotiating a bipartisan alternative – the only congressional panel to attempt it.

Rose Byrne - Rose Byrne Shuns Gadgets And Social Networking
Picture: Rose Byrne - 2013 CFDA Awards - arrivals - Manhattan, NY, United States - Tuesday 4th June 2013
Actress Rose Byrne was the most unlikely Hollywood star to play a Google executive in new movie The Internship, because she shuns the latest gadgets and has never used Facebook or Twitter.
The Bridesmaids star takes on the role of a worker at the head office of the Internet search giant in the comedy, but playing a high-flying technical wizard was a steep learning curve for the Australian.
She tells British magazine Radar, "I'm really not that techie. I'm pretty hopeless actually. I've got Instagram and I finally replaced my BlackBerry with an iPhone about a month ago. I'm like a turtle. I'm still a bit slow with it.
"I've never been on Facebook or Twitter. My teenage cousins are all on Facebook and it's been a part of their consciousness from a young age. For me, I'm just on the other end of that because Facebook came in when I was in my mid-20s."

Interesting for the most part I ordered this book as part of a larger order that I was making here. Me being a Final Fantasy aficionado, I figured this book would give me another perspective on the Final Fantasy universe as it stated that I would do. Well, it did.******Entertainment: This book is entertaining, to a point. It goes through most of the different versions of Final Fantasy and explains them in a relatively easy to understand manner. There is some humor in the book as well, but not much. For a purely entertainment perspective on FF, pick something else unless philosophy is something that truly interests you. Due to the nature of the book, it isn't that entertaining unless you are a true fan of FF.******Information: Wow. This book is packed with all kinds of philosophical examples and relates them to the characters in the FF universe. There are all kinds of references to past and present philosophers and their ideals presented, Reading this reminded me of being in a philosophy class in college with the exception that this is easier to understand, and actually interesting. That is how the book is presented.******Final: For the most part, I would recommend this book only to the die hard fans. If you've only played FF X or FF VII or are just a casual player of FF, then this isn't for you. You will be lost as who to Kefka (FF III or FF VI), Tellah (FF II or FF IV), Professor Aki (FF: The Spirits Within), and others as there are many references to them throughout the book. Overall, I think this is a good book for those that in the

Veggie Oils…The Good, The Bad, And The Scary
With the variety of vegetable oils on the market, you may be wondering which oil is the best for your health. There are a lot of myths perpetuated by the different oil industries, so I wanted to bring some clarity to the home foodie or chef.
Interestingly, although olive oil, canola oil, and vegetable oils are all considered monounsaturated fats, they are not created equally.
- Quality olive oil (Extra Virgin, Cold-pressed) is manufactured this way: The olives are pressed, the oil collected. The quality of the oil depends on the amount of processing involved.
- Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is considered the best, as it comes from the first pressing of the olives, so it's the least processed.
- Virgin means that no chemicals were used in the process of extracting the oil from the fruit.
- Extra virgin means that the olive oil has undergone several tests to confirm its taste and to verify that it is free of defects.
- Light olive oil is not pure virgin olive oil. This form is a blend of pomace olive oil, which is olive oil that is extracted from the fruit using heat and chemicals, and virgin olive oil.
While other vegetable oils are touted as healthy, the truth is many of them are not as healthy as you might think. Many animal studies point to serious and deleterious effects of canola oil on rats and pigs. To begin with, most canola, corn, safflower, sunflower, and soybean oils are either genetically modified or form toxic chemicals once heated.
For instance, most canola, corn, and soybeans were genetically altered by manufacturers to withstand an extreme amount of pesticides, even before the seeds have been planted. The actual process of making canola oil and other vegetable oils is also far from natural. The procedure involves a combination of high-temperature mechanical pressing and solvent extract, usually using hexane. Hexane is an explosive chemical solvent not meant for human consumption. Unfortunately, hexane is also used to produce soy protein for infant formula, protein bars, and other soy vegetarian food products, but I digress.
Most vegetable oils also go through the process of bleaching, degumming, deodorizing, and caustic refining, at very high temperatures. This process can alter the omega-3 content in the oil, and in certain conditions bring the trans fat level as high as 40 percent. Corn oil is high in polyunsaturated fat and tends to undergo oxidation more readily than olive oils. Oxidized fats generate free radical damage to cells, increasing the risk for cancer. For example, corn oil is used experimentally to promote tumor growth in some laboratory models of breast, colon, and other cancers. Corn oil may also impair immune function.
Considering this information, extra-virgin olive oil is the healthiest of all. Perhaps that is a strong reason why the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean diet is touted as healthy for the heart as well as cholesterol levels. For different types of cooking, sesame, almond, hazelnut and walnut oils are great oils, as well as flax oil, (though you cannot heat flax oil). While coconut oil and butter have saturated fat, they are healthier options than the aforementioned vegetable oils. Coconut oil has been found to improve heart health and the immune system. While butter isn't as heart healthy as coconut oil, it is not as toxic as vegetable oils but should be used in moderation. In short, I believe olive oil is the gold standard of all the cooking oils, and you will see me using this kind of oil in most all of my recipes, both sweet and savory.

Hey, guys :3
As you all know I've been very slow on my activity here lately, things have just been...I don't know, hard I guess. There's been changes in my household all starting back from the May 24 weekend, and just more and more drama has ensued since then. My step dad who's been with us for close to 11 years has moved out. I won't get into details about the situation, all I can say is you think you know a person...
Now with the holidays around the corner and all, it's hit me kinda hard, and left me with a pit in my stomach. Not for him, but for the others who used to come for the holidays and of course, for my mom. This hurt her very bad.
So with the way I'm feeling lately, I doubt I can focus on drawing and putting comics together. My motivation just isn't there for the time being ( instead of drawing, yes, I do play games to relax ) That's not to say I'm quitting though! I know I take long, but I''ll have them up when I'm able to. I Don't mean to put out the same song and dance all the time...all I ask is for some patience
With all that said, I'm sorry for not being around much, and for not being as friendly as I normally am. I'll be back to normal soon, just went over lots of things this weekend that made me think
In other news, today I got back from my trip to Niagara falls, which I enjoyed despite all the crap above. On the way home, yes I also picked up Paper Mario: Sticker Star This'll help me with the wait for the Wii U, haha. x3 Oh, and on tuesday I went to go see Wreck-it Ralph~ c: It's pretty damn awesome, go watch it!
Anywho, thanks for reading Next journal won't be such a bummer, I promise xD
