Last week Plant WNY (formerly the Western New York State Nursery and Landscape Association) hosted two days of education for professionals and avid gardeners, and I'd like you – the gardening public – to know what the pros are talking about. This year was exceptional for the intensity of focus on certain themes and the seriousness of the topics. It certainly wasn't all about the pretty flowers.
Stormwater management
On Day One, designed for Certified Nursery & Landscape Professional (CNLP) education, two classes addressed the serious problem of stormwater runoff and what landscapers and municipalities can do about it. Stormwater is rain or melted snow that flows over the ground and doesn't infiltrate the soil, as would normal precipitation.
In urban areas such as Buffalo, storm events were once relatively rare and manageable, and for many decades there was enough green space to take in the water. Then cities sprawled, and soon that water was forced to run over ever-expanding impervious surfaces – parking lots, buildings, roads and sidewalks. (One study nearly two decades ago reported 43,000 square miles of impervious surfaces in the U.S. with about 400 square miles being added every year.)
With increasing frequency in Buffalo, stormwater merges with sewer water, and the combined sewer overflow travels straight to our lake (where drinking water comes from).
Especially in cities like our own, with an aging infrastructure that was built for a much simpler world, structural solutions are nearly impossible. Can you imagine digging up and rebuilding the pipes under the entire city? The alternative to rebuilding is redirecting stormwater and preventing runoff. That's where plants come in.
Nina Bassuk, of the Cornell University Urban Horticulture Institute, presented "Woody Shrubs for Stormwater Retention," based on research showing what shrubs will thrive in "bioswale conditions."
A bioswale is a landscape element designed to absorb stormwater and handle runoff – like a gently sloped drainage ditch that is fully planted. (A rain garden is similar, but typically smaller and less ditchlike.)
Buffalo now has several bioswales, a great example at the south end of the 4-acre Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus parking lot. The apparently simple, planted trench can divert 4 million gallons of stormwater from Buffalo's sewer system every year.
What to plant? When rain gardens or bioswales first emerged, designers chose plants for moist sites. Trouble is – a bioswale site may be bordered by parking lots and highways and is often drought-stricken even longer than it is flooded. And watering is not possible. Some of the best plants that tolerate both wet and extremely dry sites (once established) include some familiar entries – gray and bloodtwig dogwoods, viburnums and dwarf or creeping willows.
Others may surprise you: Hippophae rhamnoides (Dwarf sea-buckthorn), Diervilla lonicera, Rhus aromatica 'Gro-low,' forsythia, ninebark, bayberry, Deutzia scabra, and even a St. John's wort, Hypericum prolificum. For the entire stormwater shrub booklet: www.hort.cornell.edu/uhi/outreach.
Brenda Young, Daemen College professor, also addressed stormwater management. She charged landscapers with educating and revising customer expectations about landscapes: Limit the hard surfaces, choose permeable pavers, limit fertilizer and pesticide use, add green infrastructures. She defined LID – Low Impact Development – and encouraged the public and industry alike to adopt green roofs, rain gardens, rain barrels, permeable pavers and porous pavement. She also credited Buffalo's Dave Majewski and other Buffalo leaders who have been developing Buffalo's progressive Green Code – a big step forward.
Native plants, borders
The topic of invasive plants and alternative choices has been featured for many years – this year no exception. Native plant educator Ken Parker, now manager for the Seneca Nation's Food is Our Medicine project, presented "Landscaping with Native Herbs, both Medicinal and Edible. Rochelle Smith, now with Finger Lakes Community College, built on the theme, showing vegetative borders using native plants.
Ironically, my role – usually an advocate for native plants and eco-friendly landscapes – was teaching about Proven Winners and other great shrubs for home landscapes, including the non-native hybrids that native plant purists eschew.
My message was not/is not in opposition to native plant advocacy though. Knowing that few people will or can go all-native, I simply ask us all to commit to just 20 percent native plants in our own yards. If you look at the plant lists that Ken Parker, Rochelle Smith and so many others offer, you will see that we have so many well-behaved, multitasking, lovely native plants to use, and most are now available in our garden centers. Going native, if only 20 percent, will not be that difficult. Try for 20!
Diseases, games
Over the two days some serious disease topics were covered – the boxwood blight, rose rosette and impatiens downy mildew, presented by one of the top plant pathologists in the Northeast, Marge Daughtry. Ken Brown led landscapers through a protocol for diagnosing plant problems. Tom Mitchell – "plant teach" to hundreds of today's landscapers, now at Niagara County Community College – taught weed identification and management, and an intensive review of soils.
Jean Bonhotel of Cornell's Industrial Waste Management Institute updated the audience about industrial composting, including road kill composting. Just before lunch we were thoroughly enlightened about how some amazing little microorganisms break down entire animal carcasses! Only the extraordinary lunch at Salvatore's Italian Gardens could have salvaged our appetites.
There was also fun to be had, if you like mentally exhausting, teeth-grinding competition. Carolyn Stanko, who is preparing NCCC students to be your landscapers of the future, was game-show host for Horticulture Jeopardy.
During it, NCCC students mixed with veteran landscapers and CNLPs of all levels, to buzz in the answers on soil, drainage, pests, plant physiology, pruning and organics. The tension was palpable, the will to win obvious, as these folks scrambled for the answers.
The most difficult part – making some of us quite aware of all we have forgotten – was the plant-identification contest, during which we had to name (Latin and common names) woody plants based on their winter twigs and buds. As teams, most did well. Individually? Well, that was partly the point.
Not every garden center owner, nursery or landscape firm invests in its employees' education. Consider Plant WNY members, sporting a CNLP badge, a good bet for future projects. They keep on learning.

My room is finally complete! I have walls!! WALLS!!! xD
And now my systems are set back up. I haven't been playing my 360 lately though. I ran through and beat Resident Evil 5 and that subdued most of the cravings. I actually went back to harvest moon 64 and have been hooked. haha
I don't know what's up with me but I've been addicted to harvest moon. any harvest moon. It's all I think about. I even wrote a fan erotica about the love affair between a girl and her video game. (don't worry I didn't put too much effort into it. im not that hopeless)
I'm in a really strange mood. I'm supposed to be working on 2 essay right now. One which is due tomorrow night haha. It's a biography so it's not too hard.
The next one is due next week but its an extension on my research paper about animal cloning. Luckily I think my english teacher has a secret lesbian crush on me :D shes sexy. :] and from Taiwan. and looks barely older than me haha.
too bad she's married. that will just have to remain a fantasy. lol
Every essay I've turned into her I've B.S'd my way through and finished it the night before it was due. Yet I somehow have managed to receive all A's and little comments like "I just loved your essay. can you send me a copy through email to keep?" Dude. :]
It's kind of sad that the only person at the college I find attractive is my English1A professor. Then again I don't get out much. I go to my classes then head to the student arcade area and watch the boys play super smash and D&D. My idea of a good time.
wheres a good place to meet girls? The only girls I meet in the game corner and straight girls hopelessly clinging to their boy friends hoping to pry them away from the games with the sight of some cleavage.
A gay club would be a good start. But the girls there usually end up being full of drama. and despise gaming. lol
None of this would be a problem if I were searching for a fling. However, I don't think I can do that. I have a soft spot for girls and they make me too nice. haha.
however some action would be nice. If I don't meet a decent girl soon I may just go back to boys.
haha just kidding xD
oh well.. time to harvest moon it up. :]
bye bye

A sore rib kept centerfielder Ben Revere out of the starting lineup for the first time this season, when the Phillies played the Miami Marlins on Friday night at Citizens Bank Park.
Revere, who said he hurt the rib making one of two diving catches Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, was replaced by Tony Gwynn Jr.
"I got a little sore rib right now, but it is really nothing serious," Revere said before the game. "I want to take a precaution, but I will be fine."

Abby Sciuto Quotes
Abby: It's okay. Breena's fine. Breathe. Good. Now hurry up and get to the hospital because Breena is in labor.

Tony: Come on. I can say it. I know her name. Ziva.
Abby: Okay then let's stop dancing around this whole thing, okay - we all miss her. I love Ziva but she left us. She's gone. And it hurts, and it sucks but that's reality. We have to face it.
Tony: I have faced it, many many times. She said no, she didn't want to come back. That's that. I have moved on from it.

TheMan, 09 Mar 2013Stop lying when you never use it.
I use Android since 2009 and yes it lagged on early edition... moreFirst of all: Excuse me to report your comment, I clicked on Report my mistake instead of on Reply.
OMG! An Android fanboy again.
No, stop YOU lying when you never use Windows Phone.
Android have lags in every version, JellyBean included.
I am with a Galaxy Ace 2, is the worse sh*t I bought in my life. Dual Core CPU, 768 MB RAM, and Lags everyday.
Any Linux desktop distribution works without lags with this hardware.
What means lag? Not only the little lag in transitions but to wait some seconds to load GMail app, lags when it's syncing, when you go the desktop screen with de back button... sometimes ten seconds!
There are videos in YouTube, anyone can see the lags in Android.
I am not saying that WP is perfect. Android is more customizable and it has more features, but the user experience is very bad, and also for the system updates.
You don't use a WP in your life, don't talk about it.
OMG, 09 Mar 2013dont use chrome if u feel it lags .. there may be many other options. I dont care who develop... moreand thanks once again... An android fanboy honestly accepts that it is smooth...! the rest of choices in apps and preferences time and sales would answer better. Already it has started to answer i hope...(refer sales figure articles in GSMarena and in other tech sites) !!!
OMG, 09 Mar 2013dont use chrome if u feel it lags .. there may be many other options. I dont care who develop... moreThanks... this is what I am saying ... it is same like you said for Chrome. I say find out other options other than Whatsapp. But Chrome is developed by Google (I hope) and Android also and still it is the most lagging OS on the android system. So please answer with proper logic...
ArcAngel, 09 Mar 2013Hoorayy! Nokia finally win! 10,000 is bigger than 3,000! :pCongratulations! U have passed the math test! And as android blinded fanboys...derive pleasure from which is better...starting from their spec to spec comparison...pathetic !!!

Omniafan, 09 Mar 2013This is the advantage of buying a MS OS'ed Phone.How about the dozens of android OSes that never received the updates???
Anonymous, 09 Mar 2013- what is the use of an OS...which lags when you use google chrome?
- stylus on a 4.8 inch sc... moredont use chrome if u feel it lags .. there may be many other options.
I dont care who develops the apps, when I am using an OS i need the apps which i use daily to work properly. Whether MS forces whatsapp to build a solid app or whatsapp itself builds a solid app ..i dont care, Whatsapp may not care because it knows that the user base is very less and hence will not build a super quality app.
U find only a few very good apps in MS marketplace . fro example, flixter, LinkedIn, IMDB, and there are few more.
Android also has issues i dont disagree with that, but atleast it has features too .. so that will compensate. I prefer to choose a OS which crashes once a while but has amzing features over a OS which is smooth but u cannot do anything on the phone.
TheApprentice, 08 Mar 2013Yes they are.Thanks mate, for replying.
Now that we are clear about the 7.8 upgrade, why doesnt GSMARENA mention about those phones in the article??
why only about Nokia phones, the buyer of samsung omnia or HTC titan might be eagerly waiting the same way as the Nokia user. why not acknowledge them and put a line in the article?

I am not a big fan of stylus either donnowhy u mentioned it here.
Thank god i sold my Nokia Lumia 610 and bought Samsung Galaxy Grand...
Now i am very happy... With my purchase.
Fcckk Microsoft and is so called beta operating system.
And Nokia you are such a big fool that you selected windows phone rather than android.
You would have been shining on the seven sky today if you would have went for Android.
I am very sorry Nokia... Forgive me for selling Lumia but i still use your E71 from past 4 years :) and will continue to do so forever... Its still the best phone ever.
But now things have changed - Hail Samsung Galaxy Grand...
Its awesome :)
hahaha... so much for samsung bashers and lumia loyalists..what will you do with them now...?Microsoft will be the nemesis of nokia.true..android may be complex but the greatest virtue comes to the fore now.It's free and not bound to the whim of a single manufacturer...You don't release an update and your phone is dead in the market.Other manufacturers will overtake you...Nokia is being taken for a ride by the Apple and MS..
hope have other way to fix this phone problem. o.o i love nokia but. hate it problem
Anonymous, 09 Mar 2013- what is the use of an OS...which lags when you use google chrome?
- stylus on a 4.8 inch sc... moreStop lying when you never use it.
I use Android since 2009 and yes it lagged on early editions of android 1.6 and 2.1 but in Froyo i didn't experience any lag at all on Galaxy S1.
You naive because i had Note 1 before i own S3, the stylus is so accurate in writing messages or drawing, even cropping...etc its so useful i even wished i stayed on Note 1 instead of S3 because of the stylus.
So keep this lame logo of yours "Android lags" because it doesn't, while M$ WP8 and WP7 lags like no tomorrow on Surface and Lumia devices and you can check it on Youtube or WP forum how laggy and buggy WP is. Its like an experimental OS not valid for daily use.
i hope nokia will stay with microsoft. wp 8 is excellent,simple,elegant,minimalist. my farty granma can use wp 8 with no problem, it is the only os wich she understood how to operate it. this means that wp8 and future wp9,10,etc will be very well received by the masses wich adore simple mobiles. the only problem is to populate quickly their app store with all the possible junk apps like android and ios did,and pay to the media channels to announce every month:"windows phone marketplace reaches this months xyz number of apps", and so on. they must pay for these

Aunt Kathleen's Caramels
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 25 mins
This recipe is a very old one, and a treasured memory of my Great Aunt Kathleen. They are SO GOOD! Store them in a tupperware container, and they last for 2 weeks or more, but they won't, because you'll be into them until they are gone... GUARANTEED :)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 226.79 g margarine or 226.79 g butter, 2 sticks
- 236.59 ml sugar
- 236.59 ml brown sugar, firmly packed
- 236.59 ml white Karo
- 236.59 ml condensed milk
- 236.59 ml walnuts, chopped (or more)
- 4.92 ml vanilla
- Put butter, sugar, brown sugar, and Karo into pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it starts to boil.
- After it starts to boil, turn down to med-low heat, and let boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn't stick or burn on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat, and add condensed milk. Stir well.
- Put back on stove, and bring the temperature to the hard ball stage (250 degrees on your candy thermometer), (about another 10 minutes). (The brown sugar addition adds moisture to the molasses, so this is why the recipe needs to reach the hard ball stage instead of the firm ball stage, that most caramel recipes require).
- Remove from stove, and add nuts and vanilla. Mix well.
- Pour into a buttered pan (I use a 9x13" cake pan).
- Cool completely, and then cut with a sharp knife.
- Cut wax paper into 2x2" squares.
- Wrap each caramel in wax paper and twist ends.
- Refrigerate in a plastic container.
Most Helpful
These were excellent! I had to make them twice because my first time I didn't have a candy thermometer and I'm not good with the cold water test. The second time I used a candy thermometer and they turned out well. I lined my pan with parchment paper and buttered the paper to help take the caramels out more easily.
Great recipe! Thanks for posting it! I admit, I was a little doubtful, but they came out beautifully. The perfect consistency, and great flavor!

Anniversary show clears writers strike hurdle
I learned a lot about unions and labor laws," is Recording Academy prexy Neil Portnow's comment on his life over the last two months, time usually focused strictly on dealing with talent, managers and TV producers as the annual Grammy telecast is assembled.
This year's Grammy telecast is a crucial one: It's the awards show's 50th anniversary, and the last thing organizers needed was a glitch in their preparations caused by the writers strike. It took some time, some extra chats with the creative community and some PR efforts — statements from musicians and unions that support the Grammys — but the Recording Academy was freed of potential roadblocks a full two weeks before the show.
"We're a little behind in announcing talent, but we're not behind the eight ball, whether it's tents for arrivals or having bottled water in place," Portnow tells Daily Variety heading into the final week of preparations.
Key in this year's ceremony are what the org has called "Grammy moments," pairings of acts that would not be seen elsewhere. There's a performance by the Foo Fighters with a 15-member orchestra, created for the show, that will be conducted by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones; a reunion of the Time performing with Rihanna; the casts of "Across the Universe" and "Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil" doing Beatles tunes; and a gospel segment that includes Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige and others.
"It's a platform for artists to do what they wouldn't ordinarily do, a chance to really stretch," Portnow says. "Many are predisposed to (hearing these ideas). It's part of the normal creative process. Some responses are immediate and they embrace the idea, some are a little more tentative. (Luckily), the music community has a certain level of trust in us so they hear us out."
The challenge for the 50th anniversary show, he says, is to pay tribute to the past and "not minimize or give short shrift to music made" in 2007.

Humanity needs a neutral and factually correct encyclopedia for helping our children's education. Wikipedia is truly wonderful! :D
It seems to me that I do not move... I am solitary as always; forsaken, not by men, which could not hurt me, but by the happy fairies of joy, who used to encircle me in countless multitudes, who met acquaintances everywhere, everywhere showed me an opportunity for pleasure. As an intoxicated woman gathers a wild crowd of youths about her, so they flocked about me, the fairies of joy, and I greeted them with a meaningful smile. My soul has lost its potentiality. If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never!

People say a lot about mathematicians, they say they are absent-minded or too much into irrelevant details. Mathematicians reply with a simple question: Can you imagine today's science and technology without mathematics? As simple as that! Now, I'm too busy to say what women mathematicians reply to what men say about women in mathematics... :)
...but in the end it's all about the love for it. :) NO STALKING! Sofia Koutsouveli (talk)

The International Myeloma Foundation is proud to have sponsored and coordinated the development of the International Staging System (ISS) for Multiple Myeloma in 2005. The ISS was developed through a collaborative research initiative conducted by 17 myeloma institutions around the world. Based on that research, the factors found to best stratify patients' prognosis into a three-stage classification were two blood proteins: serum beta 2 microglubulin and serum albumin.
In August, 2015 the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) published its Revised International Staging System (R-ISS), which combines the ISS with chromosomal abnormalities detected by interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Clinical data from 4,445 patients with newly diagnosed myeloma in 11 international clinical trials were pooled and analyzed to create this updated simple yet powerful prognostic staging system.
Serum ß2 microglobulin < 3.5 mg/l
Serum albumin ? 3.5 g/dl
Standard-risk chromosomal abnormalities (CA)
Normal LDH
Serum ß2 microglobulin ? 5.5 mg/L and either
High-risk CA by FISH
High LDH

Bone marrow biopsies are performed routinely to diagnose myeloma. They are also used for periodic monitoring of myeloma during the course of treatment. Bone marrow biopsies provide information about the amount of disease, the type of disease, its aggressiveness, and molecular/genetic abnormalities that help to predict the disease course. They provide the only direct access to tumor cells for examination by a pathologist, so they are necessary even though they are invasive and can be painful. Moreover, because myeloma is patchy and is not distributed evenly throughout the bone marrow, bone marrow biopsies do not always present an accurate sample of what is occurring elsewhere in the marrow.
Other tissue biopsies are performed less frequently to determine if myeloma is present outside the bone marrow, or in early stage disease, to biopsy a solitary plasmacytoma.

The Incredibly Shrinking Rabbinate
With the constant drumbeat of articles about "Orthodox" female rabbis appearing in the media almost weekly – essentially the same articles making the same points to the same eager audience, all to make the phenomenon of such "rabbis" seem commonplace – it is important to take a step back and examine how we arrived at this destination.
How is it possible that the ordination of women, something that until quite recently was perceived as incompatible with Jewish tradition, should suddenly be construed as acceptable to all, even to the nominally Orthodox but better described as neo-Conservative Jews?
The New Synagogue of Berlin on Oranienburgerstrasse, which today functions exclusively as a museum of German Jewish history, displays the "ordination" certificate of Regina Jonas, purportedly the first woman to receive the title rabbi. She was ordained in 1935 after writing a thesis for the Reform seminary in Berlin on the permissibility of women's ordination. Naturally, she concluded that women can be ordained. Nonetheless, most of her contemporary Reform rabbis – including Rabbi Leo Baeck, the dean of the German Reform Rabbinate – discounted her thesis and opposed her ordination as violative of Jewish law.
Her certificate was signed by Rabbi Max Dienemann and she served for several years as an assistant rabbi at the Oranienburgerstrasse temple; even they could not countenance a woman as the full-time rabbi. Sadly, Rabbi Jonas was deported to Theresienstadt in 1942 and murdered at Auschwitz in 1944.
For decades she had no successors, and all denominations of Judaism, even those that did not otherwise revere or adhere to Jewish law, assumed that women were not eligible to be rabbis. What changed?
What changed were two distinct yet interrelated phenomena that pervaded the American cultural and civic scene in the 1960s: feminism and anti-authoritarianism. Feminism was an aggressive response to the dominance of what was deemed the "patriarchy" of life – the sense that men ruled, controlled the levers of power, wealth and influence, and thereby suppressed women. Certainly, feminism had some successes, although none that was unequivocal. Women entered the work force in larger numbers, women today outnumber men in colleges and most graduate programs, and women have become much more self-sufficient economically.
Feminism also allowed women greater self-expression, a decidedly mixed blessing for all. For example, feminism empowered women to be as promiscuous and as openly lustful as men, as Pyrrhic a victory as has been seen since King Pyrrhus himself ravaged his own armies in 280 BCE. Marriage has suffered grievously; the latest statistics show that today barely half of America's adults are married (only 42 percent in New York City), the lowest rate since 1961.
Children, too, have been raised with a "new normal" in which homes are less stable and parental influence less forthcoming. Certainly there are many exceptions, but the culture has changed dramatically. The assault on the patriarchy has succeeded so magnificently – although never enough to please the diehards – that, if anything, real men (in the traditional sense of the term) are said to be in short supply and the shirking of male responsibilities (fidelity to wife, parenting children, supporting families, etc.) is a social epidemic.
By the same token, the turbulence of the 1960s – especially the Vietnam War, the urban riots and the assassinations of respected figures – produced a distrust of government and a pervasive antagonism toward authority. Tradition – both in terms of religion and social conventions – became suspect and required a renewed validation after an independent review of its worth and merits. Politicians were largely reviled, and religious leaders were soon after held in contempt by much of "enlightened" society, especially the media. The entertainment industry typically portrays clergymen as venal, hypocritical, and corrupt, and those are the good ones.
Young people took pride in not listening to their elders and escaping into drugs and alcohol. Oppositional Defiant Disorder entered the psychological lexicon a decade later. "The wisdom of the scholars was reviled, fearers of sin scorned, [objective] truth will disappear, children will embarrass their elders, [and] the old will stand before the young…" (Masechet Sota 49b).
* * * * *
The male rabbinate was "tartei l'rei'uta" – the worst of both worlds. It was limited to men and the loathed symbol of religious (and therefore objective) authority. As such, the male rabbinate was a feminist/anti-authoritarian nightmare, and had to be undermined. In 1972, Sally Priesand was ordained the first female Reform rabbi in the United States.Rabbi Steven Pruzansky

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the renewal of peace talks with the Palestinian Authority a "vital strategic interest for the State of Israel."
Netanyahu issued a statement Saturday evening in which he thanked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for "great efforts" to restart talks with Palestinian Authority leaders. Kerry has made six trips to the Middle East since the beginning of the year, trying to broker a resumption of talks.
The Israeli prime minister has previously urged the Palestinians to begin talks without preconditions. But Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas insists that Israel's return to 1967 borders be a precondition for talks, something that Israel has called a "non-starter."
The Palestinians have also said they won't talk without another building freeze in Jewish communites in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).
Palestinian officials say the talks won't begin unless they get a guarantee that Israel will discuss the general borders of a future Palestinian state.
Netanyahu faces substantial opposition to the talks within his governing coalition. Economic Minister Naftali Bennett has threatened to pull his Jewish Home Party out of the government if the prime minister agrees to Abbas's border demands.
In his Saturday statement, Netanyahu described his goals as "preventing the creation of a bi-national state between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River that would endanger the future of the Jewish state and preventing the establishment of an additional Iranian-sponsored terrorist state on Israel's borders, which would endanger us no less."

Reprise: 25 Rules of Disinformation
In case you are confused by all the voices busily delivering contradictory messages on the TV, radio and Internet, here are some of the rules some troublemakers/ disinformation artists play by… (from http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/05/twenty-five-rules-of-disinformation.html)
1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it — especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it's not reported, it didn't happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.
2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the "How dare you!" gambit.
3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such "arguable rumors". If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a "wild rumor" which can have no basis in fact.
4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.
5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as "kooks", "right-wing", "liberal", "left-wing", "terrorists", "conspiracy buffs", "radicals", "militia", "racists", "religious fanatics", "sexual deviates", and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.
6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning — simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.
7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could so taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.
8. Invoke authority. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough "jargon" and "minutiae" to illustrate you are "one who knows", and simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.
9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues with denial they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.
10. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with. Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually them be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues — so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.
11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the "high road" and "confess" with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made — but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, "just isn't so." Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later. Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for "coming clean" and "owning up" to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.
12. Enigmas have no solution. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to loose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.
13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards with an apparent deductive logic in a way that forbears any actual material fact.
14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best for items qualifying for rule 10.
15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.
16. Vanishing evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won't have to address the issue.
17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can "argue" with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.
18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how "sensitive they are to criticism".
19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the "play dumb" rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon). In order to completely avoid discussing issues may require you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.
20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.
21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed an unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict (usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim) is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed.
22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.
23. Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.
24. Silence critics. If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or merely by proper intimidation with blackmail or other threats.
25. Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.
Training exercises dovetail with mass shootings
What are the odds?
Whether mass shootings are approached as the mainstream reports them, or as false flags, staged scenarios, or outright hoaxes, there is a common thread which runs through some of them: official training exercises held just prior to, or at the same time as, the shootings.
I'm not trying to present an all-inclusive list here…
Drugs as Weapons against Us – a book by Jon Potash
Drugs – illegal and legal both – have been used against the trusting American population. Every school shooting has involved SSRIs or other psych meds. Psychedelic drugs were used in the CIA's MKUltra and Monarch mind control programs. The moral tone of America changed significantly after the introduction of drugs. Were all the drug "overdoses" accidental – or assisted?
35 School Shootings/ Mass Stabbings Tied to Psychiatric Drugs
Are guns the real source of the problem? Or are psychiatric drugs? I call this the real drug war…
Law enforcement officials identified 26-year old, Chris Harper Mercer, as the gunman who, yesterday, killed 10 people and wounded seven others at Umpqua Community College in southwestern Oregon. It appears Mercer is another in a long list of school shooters who have a history of mental health services and, more likely than not, had been prescribed psychiatric drugs.
Like so many of the recent perpetrators of mass violence, Mercer's mental health history is well documented having, according to the Los Angeles Times, graduated from the Switzer Learning Center in Torrance, Ca., which serves students from 3rd grade to 22 years of age who have moderate to severe learning disabilities, emotional issues, attention problems and behavioral disorders.
One former neighbor told the press, "she (Mercer's mother) said, 'My son is dealing with some mental issues." The only question that remains unanswered is what psychiatric diagnosis had Mercer been labeled with and what was his psychiatric drug "treatment" regimen?
It is equally important to note that this mass attack occurred within a couple of weeks of the mainstream press, such as the LA Times and Reuters, exposing the link between antidepressants and violence…

Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media
Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. This article looks at the workings of mass media through the theories of its major thinkers, its power structure and the techniques it uses, in order to understand its true role in society.
Most of the articles on this site discuss occult symbolism found in objects of popular culture. From these articles arise many legitimate questions relating to the purpose of those symbols and the motivations of those who place them there, but it is impossible for me to provide satisfactory answers to these questions without mentioning many other concepts and facts. I've therefore decided to write this article to supply the theoretical and methodological background of the analyzes presented on this site as well as introducing the main scholars of the field of mass communications. Some people read my articles and think I'm saying "Lady Gaga wants to control our minds". That is not the case. She is simply a small part of the huge system that is the mass media.
Programming Through Mass Media
Mass media are media forms designed to reach the largest audience possible. They include television, movies, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, records, video games and the internet. Many studies have been conducted in the past century to measure the effects of mass media on the population in order to discover the best techniques to influence it. From those studies emerged the science of Communications, which is used in marketing, public relations and politics. Mass communication is a necessary tool to insure the functionality of a large democracy; it is also a necessary tool for a dictatorship. It all depends on its usage.
In the 1958 preface for A Brave New World, Aldous Huxley paints a rather grim portrait of society. He believes it is controlled by an "impersonal force", a ruling elite, which manipulates the population using various methods.
"Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses." – Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World
His bleak outlook is not a simple hypothesis or a paranoid delusion. It is a documented fact, present in the world's most important studies on mass media. Here are some of them:

Can't fix "stupid"…
Cashews Are a Natural Anti-Depressant
There are countless safer, healthier and cheaper natural alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs, but big pharma doesn't want you to know about them because if we all learned to use food to support genuine health, pharmaceutical companies would be unnecessary.
Aside from the many health benefits they boast which include helping to prevent cancer lower blood pressure and help keep the heart healthy amongst other things but they are also a natural anti depressant.
Cashews are a good source of tryptophan, which as an important amino acid that we need to consume in our diets. It helps us to grow as children, improves sleep, balance our mood, regulate behavior and reduce stress, anxiety and depression amongst other things.
Just a few handfuls of cashews provide 1,000–2,000 mg of trytophan which will work as well as prescription antidepressants but big pharma doesn't want you to know about this…

Reprise: "Unhinged" – Circumcision Key to Jewish Psyche?
Roger Dommergue (1924-2013) was the half-Jewish heir of a wealthy French family that converted to Christianity. He was raised by his Jewish maternal grandmother but was not circumcised. He fought with the Free French air force during World War Two and was a Freemason for a while. He earned a PhD in Psychopathogy, was a professor and controversial writer.

4 of 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3JVQQcQylo
The following are notes from the first video of Roger Dommergue speaking about one of his books. In it, he describes the "Jewish psyche" he observed in his family and society, as well as his reactions, as an uncircumcised Jewish man.
While observing his family, he found a mentality that astounded him, asked himself if it was him or them who were crazy, and finally figured it wasn't him but them…
It was everywhere. It was in capitalism. It was in marxism. It was everywhere… basically a speculative system of thought, absolutely cold hearted, grossly overdeveloped, not factoring in any human characteristic, all while it claims… to serve them. Enormous hoax.
We saw the results of marxism, pseudo-altruistic marxism, lead to tens of millions of deaths, lead to a concentration camp the size of a gigantic country which is Russia, and consequently lead to death. These are doctrines of death…
Jewish researchers are champions of medical research but all this is without capacity for synthesis, capacity for heart. They are deprived of heart, of synthesis. They have an idealism which backfires on the people they claim to defend. There's also the crooks, bankers and financiers which control absolutely everything.
from HenryMakow.com… Henry is a Jewish man who developed a game called Scruples.
Endocrinologist traced Jewish behavior to an hormonal imbalance caused by circumcision.
On what do we blame, or can we blame, objectively, the Jewish mindset? [which is becoming universal]
To be able to win in one operation 500 billion francs, and crash the Bank of England with one phone call, you have to be a Jew… I found the origin of this Jewish speculation — this speculative-parasitic mind, Jewish of course, which for 5,000 years… has weighed down on the entire planet; it's the 8th day circumcision which we'll talk about…
Well, you know in the commentary of the Torah, it is written that circumcision is something that goes beyond human understanding — that you shouldn't try to understand. I read it myself in the commentary of the Torah, so I say this knowingly. Well, that's not the case anymore. Now we understand the mystery. And we know — well I know and some people know — Albert Camus knew… and Dr. Gautier who figured it out of course knew better than me, some philosophers like Gustave Thibon etc. know. But the masses ignore it, and the Jews are totally unaware of their ordeal – because it's an ordeal they live through – You know, to torment and to kill others, it's also hell for them, it's a disease. You know Nietzsche said 'it was the sick who invented malice.' Consequently these are people you need to cure, and to cure the Jews it's very simple: stop circumcision.
It's obvious that it isn't the Jewish religious education and the Jewish intellectual formation that gives them this particular mindset. Nor is it the fact that they've supposedly been told to work handling money and nothing else. That's not true at all, not true at all.
All of that is wrong; it doesn't make sense. In reality … Not to mention most Jews I came to know in the "Jewish" high aristocracy of the world, could care less about Judaism, and knew nothing at all of the Jewish scriptures. And I tell you this eruditely because I know and I've experienced it. My uncles, my aunts knew absolutely nothing of the Torah. They went to funerals and other Jewish ceremonies only to brag, that was all. So that's not it.
Well there is, for the Jews, an operation you get done on the 8th day after birth, it's called circumcision.

Vast experiments on humans: a forgotten document
People are unaware of the vast scope of human experimentation in America.
Here are just a few examples:
The entire field of psychiatry, which offers 300 so-called mental disorders for diagnosis and drugging, is a pseudoscience, because none of those mental disorders has a defining physical diagnostic test. No blood test, no urine test, no brain scan, no genetic assay.
The entire area of biotech manipulation of food crops, in which genes from one species are inserted into another; the FDA originally approved GMO crops on the basis that it was the biotech industry's responsibility to assure safety and no health risk.
Every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. (See B. Starfield, JAMA, July 26, 2000, "Is US health really the best in the world?") Of those 225,000 deaths, 106,000 are caused by FDA-approved drugs. This means that, once the drugs are approved, everything that then happens to the public is one grand uncontrolled experiment.
The entire area of vaccines; although numerous "experts" proclaim serious adverse reactions are rare, the system for counting reactions is broken. Barbara Loe Fisher, of the National Vaccine Information Center, has reasonably pegged the annual number of severe adverse effects at between 100,000 and 1.2 million.
As I said, these are just a few examples. There are others. For instance, the entire experiment involving spraying chemical substances near the ground and high above the ground, which includes weather control and manipulation.
Here is a largely forgotten 1994 document that adds fuel to this conflagration…

I was also thinking of trying to make it out to the Reds game tomorrow night but if the forcast looks bad I might take a pass.

Inside the Paris Hilton Prison
The Hollywood Gossip staff likes to joke that Katie Holmes is stuck inside a prison-like marriage.
But that's nothing compared to where Paris Hilton is headed: a prison-like prison.
The Hollywood Gossip staff likes to joke that Katie Holmes is stuck inside a prison-like marriage.
But that's nothing compared to where Paris Hilton is headed: a prison-like prison.
Paris Hilton is going to jail.
The spoiled, skanky, untaletned hotel heiress was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation by repeatedly driving with a suspended license.
At Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood Party, the latest celebrity fashion was not the topic of the evening.
Instead, as reported by TMZ, this event was the scene of the latest Lindsay Lohan/Paris Hilton encounter - with camps being divided by strict party lines.
Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.
Together in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Call Heidi Montag anything you'd like to (seriously, go ahead) - but you've gotta at least label the star of The Hills as honest. She's been nothing but open about her recent boob job.
Meanwhile, Paris Hilton can certainly relate to the skanky side of Heidi, but the spoiled snob has yet to admit to any enhanced chest work. Based on the photos here, though, it's hard to believe the heiress hasn't boosted her bust size.
Pardon The Hollywood Gossip staff for paraphrasing a headline we used to discuss the sex life of Lindsay Lohan a few weeks ago.
But it's not our fault James Blunt possesses a) a penchant for sleeping with spoiled celebrity skanks and b) a punny last name.
Oliva Mojica must have done some research before hitting "record" on her sex tape.
After all, the former American Idol contestant and her boyfriend, Adam Roberts, appear to have studied the moves of Kim Kardashian nude and Ray J in their infamous railing in the sack.
Shanna Moakler should bask in the glory of her triumph over Paris Hilton.
After all, the former Miss USA and Dancing with the Stars contestant has won: she's back together with Travis Barker, despite Paris' attempts to tongue wrestle him away.
Some friendships just can't survive dueling sex tapes.
After all, Paris Hilton was a no-show at former best friend Kim Kardashian's birthday party in Las Vegas on Friday - and the word is that the two pals are no more due to a clash of egos.
You know you've made it in Hollywood when your giant boobs are analyzed and drooled over.
When it comes to Tara Reid, however, the truth is that her phony cleavage is more closely laughed at and disgusted over. Seen here, it's falling out of the actress' bikini. Yikes.
If you catch our paraphrased Star Trek drift, it looks like Josh Henderson is preparing to boldly go where only a few hundred men have gone before.
What we're saying is that the Desperate Housewives actor is getting cozy with Paris Hilton and it's only a matter of time before he waxes that booty. Let's be honest with ourselves. She gets around... like a record. No offense, Stavros Niarchos.
Before Stavros Niarchos.
