Time Rules Life – Including Weight
Americans are obsessed with weight. We read about it, think about it, twitter about it. We even pay billions to lose it.
As I've argued before, weight is not the enemy. An impoverished, narrow view of health is the real culprit. Medicine looks to "fix" the "homeostatic" human machine rather than aid the regeneration of the relentlessly rebuilt and restyled human animal. Most significalty, elements of culture and lifestyle – a preference for Big Macs over broccoli, drives in the SUV above walks to the neighborhood grocery, building hospitals over constructing playgrounds, walkways and parks, lead to a population that is unhealthy – and then weighty.
But if I talk to my patients and clinical colleagues, when patients are given the choice of "long life" over getting skinny, many prefer getting skinny. General physicans frequently intone "weight loss, weight loss" to their charges. And if Americans collectively lost a lot of weight other good things would happen – including sleeker airplane seats and lower hospital and transportation bills.
So let's look at weight and time. For everybody knows – I hope – that timing is key.
The Study
Appearing in the International Journal of Obesity, the researchers hail from Murcia, a part of Spain hit hard by the economic crisis. People there are stressed. They've gained lots of weight. They want to lose it.
So 420 people undergo a 20 week weight loss program. They average in their early 40s, half men, half women.
Most lose weight. But the ones who eat earlier in the day lose more. And keep it off.
Remember, this is Spain – where restaurants may not open for dinner until 10 P.M.
Different biological clock genes of the group are studied – they don't seem to change the results much or at all. Self-professed individual morningness versus eveningness doesn't seem to matter. Sleep duration doesn't seem to affect weight. .
Yet timing of eating does. And the people who eat later also claim to skip breakfast more often.
Understandably – as they already received further calories later the previous day.
So eating earlier makes it easier to lose weight.
Why We Should Not Be Shocked By the Results
1. Army studies done in the early 1970's demonstrated that if soldiers ate one meal a day, if they ate in the morning they lost weight, if they ate at night they gained.
2. People who skip breakfast have a harder time losing weight.
3. Kids whose parents skip breakfast have a harder time losing weight.
4. Baseline insulin levels are much higher in the morning than earlier.
5. Humans are usually in starvation mode when they wake up. The brain needs glucose to survive. The blood needs glucose to survive. By the time people wake, liver stores of glucose are used up and they're digesting muscle protein to keep brain and blood alive.
6. Eating at night leads to higher blood insulin and fatty acid levels than eating in the day.
7. Shift workers are much more frequently obese than those who don't work shifts.
8. Take animals and have them eat when they normally would not - and they gain a lot of weight.
Time changes all other aspects of human performance. That it changes the effects of food should surprise no one. Drugs given at different times have different effects. The psychomotor effects of alcohol are two to three fold greater at midnight than at 6 A.M.
So what's the big deal?
Why We Should Not Be Shocked By the Results – But Are
That time changes weight doesn't make sense to people.
I eat the same meal. It's the same calories. The same stuff. The same level of carbs.
You're telling me that if I eat it in the morning I'll gain less weight than if I eat it at night?
Sadly, the public – and medicos – continue to see the body as a machine. The car doesn't care if it's 4 P.M. or 4 A.M. Give it gas and it works the same. Give your laptop electricity and it works – the same at any hour.
The problem is machines are dead.
Machines don't change that much with time of day. But they certainly change with the environment.
Try starting your car engine at negative 40 degrees Centigrade – or after a flood envelops the garage.
The environment always changes. So do we. We adapt and adjust endlessly, remaking ourselves and renewing ourselves to survive and thrive.
Quickly. Much of the human body is rebuilt in three to four weeks.
And much of that building is guided by the armature of time. A masterful series of clocks in every human cell aids that process of continuous remaking.
Some of the clocks operate in measures of milliseconds. Some follow the cycle of day and night – sun and moon. Others tick off the times of season or year.
But each clock prepares us for change – the change in our external and internal environment, the endless, rapid biology of life.
Timing is key. Whether the matter is weighty like weight, or light as sunlight, everything in the human changes with time.
It really is time to get time on your side. In everything you do.

Quick GuideVegetarian Diet: Becoming a Vegetarian
Iron is essential for health and transporting oxygen. A deficiency in iron causes fatigue and decreased immune function. There are two forms of dietary iron: heme and nonheme. Heme iron is found in animal foods, while nonheme iron is in plant foods.
The amount of iron that the body obtains and uses from the food is referred to as iron absorption. The iron absorption from heme iron ranges from 15%-35% while the absorption from nonheme iron is only 2%-20%. Evidence does not show any greater iron deficiency anemia in vegetarians than in omnivores, but body iron stores in vegetarians do tend to be lower so it's important to pay attention to your intake. There are ways to increase the absorption of nonheme iron and meet your recommendations:
- Consuming vitamin C (citrus fruits, juice, red peppers) at the same time that you consume foods with nonheme iron will increase iron absorption.
- Consuming meat protein at the same time that you consume nonheme iron foods increases iron absorption.
- Calcium, tannins, and phytates interfere with the absorption of iron. Tannins are found in tea and coffee. Phytates are found in whole grains and legumes. Take any supplements containing calcium and foods containing calcium, tannins, or phytates separately from the time you consume iron-rich foods or an iron supplement.
- When you need a supplement, you want one with ferrous iron salts (ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, and ferrous gluconate). The amount of iron that you absorb decreases with increasing doses, so it's best to spread your supplements out over the day. Iron can be toxic at high levels, so do not supplement if you do not need to and consult with your physician before taking a supplement.
- Have your iron levels checked by your physician.

Well, folks, the NFL lockout is now a real thing. As we sit at home waiting and wishing for something to happen, we thrive on the only positive football-related topic right now, the NFL draft.
If we don't have a new collective bargaining agreement by April 28th it's going to affect several teams and how they draft their players. Some teams would like to fill certain positions through free agency, but during this lockout no one is allowed to sign a contract.
Therefore the draft is very crucial this year. A team might pick a player they necessarily wouldn't have because of this lockout. Here's to hoping they work things out before the draft.
Julio Jones had a stellar combine, but was it enough to pass A.J. Green as the No. 1 wide receiver taken in the draft? Some mock drafts have him higher than Green, but you won't be finding that here. Here's the latest edition of my mock draft.
|1. Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton, QB
2. Denver Broncos: Patrick Peterson, CB
3. Buffalo Bills: Von Miller, OLB
4. Cincinnati Bengals: A.J. Green, WR
|17. New England Patriots: J.J. Watt, DE
18. San Diego Chargers: Aldon Smith, DE
19. New York Giants: Anthony Castonzo, OT
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Ryan Kerrigan, DE
|5. Arizona Cardinals: Blaine Gabbert, QB
6. Cleveland Browns: Marcell Dareus, DT
7. San Francisco: Prince Amukamara, CB
8. Tennessee Titans: Nick Fairley, DT
|21. Kansas City Chiefs: Akeem Ayers, OLB
22. Indianapolis Colts: Gabe Carimi, OT
23. Philadelphia Eagles: Cameron Jordan, DE
24. New Orleans Saints: Adrian Clayborn, DE
|9. Dallas Cowboys: Tyron Smith, OT
10. Washington Redskins: Julio Jones, WR
11. Houston Texans: Da'Quan Bowers, DE
12. Minnesota Vikings: Ryan Mallett, QB
|25. Seattle Seahawks: Jake Locker, QB
26. Baltimore Ravens: Jimmy Smith, CB
27. Atlanta Falcons: Justin Houston, DE
28. New England Patriots: Derek Sherrod, OT
|13. Detroit Lions: Nate Solder, OT
14. St. Louis Rams: Corey Liuget, DT
15. Miami Dolphins: Mark Ingram, RB
16. Jacksonville Jaguars: Robert Quinn, DE
|29. Chicago Bears: Cameron Heyward, DE
30. New York Jets: Phil Taylor, NT
31. Pittsburgh Steelers: Mike Pouncey, OG

Planes Mistaken For Stars
Though Planes Mistaken For Stars have been associated with the screamo movement since the quartet's inception in 1997, on the band's latest release, Mercy, it seems as though they've abandoned that scene altogether, settling for a sound that's more straight-up metal, without any of that lyrical emo love crap (at least, not as much). Lead singer and guitarist Gared O'Donnell has a menacing, gravely growl, as though he chain-smokes to warm up his vocal cords. On Mercy, the band's third full-length release, O'Donnell sings each song as if it were his last. After nine years of screaming (and smoking), just how long will it be before it causes irreparable damage to his pipes?
While Mercy overall has a very clean production, "Church Date," "Crooked Mile" and "Little Death" are definitely raw and brooding, just as pure metal should be. "Killed by Killers Who Kill Each Other" takes a page from Tool, building a despondent, hallowed murmur and dragging the melody into a shining, technical metal gem. Likewise, the closing track "Penitence" building up to an acoustic, melancholic bit that melds Tool's "Disposition" with Alice in Chains's unplugged version of "Brother." Most PMFS fans will call this their defining and the most "essential" album to date.

Aside from a light helmet slap from teammate Marquez Mathis, there was little fanfare or celebration after Yeldell scored the first of seven touchdowns.
A 49-21 state playoff win over Emerald was the goal for the night, but the Rebels are hardly satisfied.
"We knew what we had to do, so we were going to go do it," Yeldell said. "We had to do it for (injured tailback Darius Hammond), for our past and for us, but we're not done. There's more to do."
No. 2 Strom Thurmond advanced to the Class AA Division I Upper State Championship with a dominant performance on both sides of the ball. Even without Hammond, done for the year with a broken ankle, the undefeated Rebels (12-0) had no trouble running all over No. 6 Emerald (7-6).
Yeldell scored twice on the ground and threw for another.
Hammond's backup, senior Malcolm Watkins, rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns on just 16 carries.
And the Rebel starting defense held Emerald scoreless until the game was well out of reach. They passed the fourth-quarter workload on to the backups with a 49-7 lead.
"I'm proud of the guys," head coach Lee Sawyer said. "They came out with a killer instinct tonight."
Sawyer, who was dissatisfied with a closer-than-expected win over region opponent Keenan in the second round last week, said he challenged his players in practice to stay focused on the task at hand.
The Rebels, who have seen their season come to an end in the state quarterfinals each of the past four years, broke through with a convincing win – their 33rd victory in 37 home games.
"For me, it's a little emotional right now," Yeldell said. "All those years it was hard because we couldn't get over that hump. Tonight we finally got over the hump."
Strom Thurmond wasted little time taking control. Yeldell's nonchalant romp from four yards out came on the ninth play of a 63-yard opening drive for a 7-0 lead.
Watkins carried the ball four consecutive times to cover 42 yards on the Rebels' second possession for a 14-0 advantage through the first quarter.
Yeldell and Watkins finished off two more scoring drives in the second quarter to make it 28-0.

Ideally, a "travel photo" informs us about the features and customs of distant cultures. A good travel photo isn't about what camera was used to capture it; nor is it about the photographer's uses of computer programs to "process" the image. The latter may have a place in art galleries and photography magazines; they are more about the photographer than the subject.
Good travel photos ask questions and tell stories, as with this one, taken by Argentine photographer JMartinC. These men are taking part in the ancient Easter tradition of carrying El Señor de los Temblores (The Lord of The Earthquakes) in Cusco, Peru.
When King Phillip II of Spain heard that the Incas worshiped the sun and carried mummies through their city on heavy gold-and-silver alters, he ordered a crucifix of Christ sent to them. Years of missionary work eventually changed the custom, but along the way, Christ's name was changed to suit the people's biggest fear.

Oh my 75 people! I'm stressed just planning for our small family of 6. From what I understand it IS definitely a big deal/to-do but ultimately a day you'll remember more than your LO so whatever it is make it fun and easy for yourself! Happy Early Bday to your LO too!
If you want to do it yourself, I'd make a tire cake with black frosting and chocolate sprinkles - maybe pipe some flames - for the 75 guests, and I'd give the middle part to the baby to eat, or rather, smash. That's about all I can think of for a "little rebel" theme.

This comic is an odd one.Ā I sketched it up in the waiting room of a doctor's clinic and wondered how people would react to it.Ā There's sort of a joke, but I guess you might say a big punchline isn't really the main goal here.Ā I rather like Luigi and I can see something like this playing out with him, where his self-confidence is so low that he can't even fantasize about being on top.

Smash is back! And NBC's musical about musicals is delivering a new diva – and even more drama – in season 2.
After a solid preview in Boston, the cast of the Marilyn Monroe musical Bombshell – including dueling divas Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) and Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty) – are back in the Big Apple and hoping to make their Broadway debut at the fabled St. James Theatre.
But opening isn't going to be easy: Bombshell producer Eileen Rand's ex-husband launches a plan to make her funding disappear and close down the show. While Eileen (Anjelica Huston) and her team, director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport) and writers Julia Houston (Debra Messing) and Tom Levitt (Christian Borle), do their best to keep up appearances, Smash's characters deal with a variety of other problems.

Smash has finally arrived!
After months of heavy promotion (and access to the pilot on iTunes), NBC's buzzed-about musical drama that goes behind the scenes of a Broadway show premiered Monday night – but will it be a hit? Caution: Spoilers ahead.
In the first episode, we meet the players – struggling actors, conflicted writers, an egotistical director and an ambitious producer – involved in launching a musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe.
"Everyone's doing her now," says Debra Messing's character, writer Julia Houston. "There's a Marilyn movie, diaries. You know what there's an app for the iPad now? You blow on it and the skirt goes up."

Back-to-school apps for your downtime
Admit it, going back to school isn't just about studying. It's also a social experience from connecting with friends to discovering things to do around campus. So while we've recently highlighted tools to help you study , we also wanted to find free apps that will come in handy when you're taking a break from the books.
Amazon Student gives you free shipping perks
One of the best perks about having an .edu email address is Amazon Student. That means a six-month free trial of Amazon Prime's free two-day shipping (sorry, Instant Video, another Prime benefit isn't included with the trial) and a $39 annual subscription fee afterward for four years, a steep discount from the usual $79.
The Amazon Student mobile app is nice to have on your iOS or Android device, since it lets you check prices on the go by scanning barcodes. (Is my physics textbook cheaper at the campus store — the answer is almost always a resounding no — or on Amazon?) When the semester's up, you can also use the app to trade in books and other items for gift cards.
Happy Hour Finder scouts local deals
Cheap drinks, cheap food — what's not to like about happy hour?
So that being social doesn't equate with being broke, Happy Hour Finder will help you scout for the best deals around you. The app — available for iOS, Android and Facebook— shows you nearby venues and details such as happy hour days, times and specials. Keep in mind that Happy Hour Finder might not have the most up-to-date details (bars change their menus and times frequently), but it's a good starting point. You might just want to call and confirm first.
Barometer finds bars that match your mood
If you're not just after the deals, but looking for bars with the right kind of vibe, Don Q (yes the Puerto Rico rum maker) has an interesting new app called Barometer, which I have to note is a very apt and clever name.
Barometer is designed to help you find bars that match your mood. Locations are provided by Foursquare, but users supply the ratings. The app sorts by vibe — such as plush, biz casual, hole in the wall, bromantic, etc — and nearby bars that fit the description. Since spirits (heh) can change drastically over the course of an evening, it will show venues' latest and overall tones.
Ranking bars is a quick and fun process in this sleek app. It asks about patrons' style (preppy, hipster and sporty are a few of the options), what people are drinking (cocktails, craft beers, the cheap stuff, to name a few), the crowd's attitude (mellow, networking, loud, etc.) and what people are doing (mingling, dancing, eating). All these factors help determine the current and overall vibe of the place.
Google Voice makes it easy to stay in touch
If you're not on Google Voice, you should be.
Having used the service since its pre-Google days (back then, it was known as GrandCentral), it's absolutely one of the apps I can't do without. Many of the friends and connections you make now will prove useful long after you're done with school. Keeping in touch will be significantly easier if you hold on to the same number years later.
When someone calls your Google Voice number, it will ring the phones that are hooked up to the service: your office number, work BlackBerry, personal cell phone, etc. This means you can change service providers without ever having to blast a new number to all your contacts because they can continue to call your Google Voice number to reach you. It'll also email an audio file and transcription of voicemail, so you never have to press and hold 1, waste your time going through the menus and re-listen to the message to scribble down a phone number to call back (in other news, who still leaves voicemail?). One of my favorite features is the ability to block callers who spam you.
The mobile app allows you to make calls and text, the latter of which doesn't have an impact on your plan's SMS allotment. As an iOS user, I will say Google's iOS app is far from slick — pretty bare bones actually — but it gets the job done. Android phones, on the other hand, have deep integration that runs natively.
Mint helps students understand personal finance
I used to cover personal finance as a reporter, and the basic tenant of such a beat is: Spend less than what you bring in. Still, for many, it's easier said than done.
College provides a first taste of what it's like to manage one's own finances. Here to help is Mint, a practical and convenient service that shows an at-a-glance glimpse of funds and outstanding debt. When you open an account with Mint, an Intuit subsidiary, you can link your bank accounts, credit cards, loans and investments. It'll categorize all your transactions and help you make budgeting decisions, sending alerts when you've spent more than you planned for, have unusual banking activity, are low on funds or have an upcoming bill that needs to be paid. This is a drastic improvement from the old-fashioned way of balancing a checkbook (which if you do, more power to you and your parents have taught you well).
The iOS and Android apps let you access these figures and charts at your fingertips, so you can make smarter decisions about purchases and dining out. Cash-strapped students, this is a must have.

Did you know that every instant, gravity waves from outer space are stretching and squeezing you - and everyone and everything else in the universe? Learning more about this mysterious radiation will help us to probe the structure and origins of the universe, explains Anita Barnes.
Most people think that mathematics consists of either just arithmetic, or a collection of very abstract and technical topics which the layperson has no chance of grasping. But this really is not true: of course many areas are too technical for the non-mathematician, but there are also many beautiful and non-trivial facts which can be expressed in ordinary language for everyone to appreciate.
"As long as a branch of science offers an abundance of problems", proclaimed David Hilbert, "so is it alive". These words were delivered in the German mathematician's famous speech at the 1900 International Congress of Mathematics. He subsequently went on to describe 23 problems which he believed would spur on mathematical thought for the upcoming century.
"Mathematical Apocrypha" is, as its subtitle intimates, a book of stories and anecdotes about mathematicians and the mathematical. However, in contrast with many books about mathematicians, Steven Krantz focuses on contemporary figures such as Wiener, Littlewood and Hardy, and says very little about the usual myths regarding Pythagoras, Descartes or Euler.

We live in a world that obeys many physical laws, and that can be modelled by a variety of mathematics. It is surprising what a variety of problems can be described by very similar models. Robert B. Banks does not concentrate on the most common examples of applied mathematics, but instead covers a fascinating selection of topics as varied as the US national debt, the Eiffel Tower, and the flight of golf balls.

"Our daughter and nephew both attend 82nd Street Academics. Our family is impressed with the special care that is offered to our children. My first concern was that my daughter is a very picky eater. I am always able to email her teacher, Ms. Cindy, with any doubts and concerns and she always writes back with reassuring answers and helpful ideas. She also shares information and summarizes what they taught in class. My husband and I appreciate this very much. One day our daughter came home and talked so much about Ms. Kia and Mr. Esteban helping her with lots of things like putting on her jacket and shoes and refilling her water bottle. That's when I knew our child was in good hands. Our daughter's learning experience at 82nd Street Academics is fun and she is highly motivated. This school has a genuinely caring team that both students and parents can enjoy. Thank you." – The Cuyugan Family, UPK

Short video (under 2 1/2 min):
My Observations: We hear a lot about "regulation". Fact is that the government is being funded by the big banks and so called "fines" at the same time those banks are bigger, more powerful and the CEO's are MUCH richer for engaging in outright fraud. Regulation is used by the powerful for their own purposes. This is synergistic to government and Wall Street, but parasitic to the nation and toxic to "justice" as some are effectively above the law, this is now codified by legislation and guaranteed monetary support via the Federal Reserve as; "too big to fail".
Key words in the clip: "....prosecutors should prosecute....". Yes, but they won't. The government is making out by this scam through fines that go.......to government! Wall Street is overjoyed to pay a little and get back a HUGE government backed return. One hand washes the other. Government wins. Wall Street banks win. The people lose. This is another confirmation that Libertarians, Austrian Economists and other critics of the corrupt monetary and regulatory system have and continue to be completely correct.
"Government justice" is a joke. The government will NEVER punish the powerful and will extract from those that have little political power to enhance the wealth of those that do. "Elections" are completly tainted by a compromised media. controlled by the "party's" and election commissions which are just another means of managing the public.
The rich and powerful are getting richer and more powerful, not by being productive which would benefit society, but by and through government influence. Meanwhile, the lot of the general population declines and the people are divided against one another on one pretext after another.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's remarks at the U.N. "mendacious and scandalous."
"These are outrageous charges against Israel that have nothing to do with the facts," Netanyahu said in a statement released by his office.
Among other things, Erdogan downplayed the Nazi genocide and claimed Israel had killed "hundreds of thousands of Palestinians."
"The Holocaust was the worst crime in history perpetrated against our people…and Israel has lost thousands of its citizens to Palestinian terrorism," Netanyahu said.
In an interview with TIME, Erdogan said if the U.N. had imposed sanctions on Israel, the conflict would have been resolved long ago.
"When it's Iran in question, you impose sanctions -- similarly with Sudan. What happens with Israel then?" Erdogan said.
Meanwhile, Syrian Ambassador Faisal al-Hamwi told the U.N. Human Rights Council Monday that Palestinian reports of human rights violations reflect Israel's "aggressive tendency against the Arab people."
He claimed this shows that Israel is committing "state terrorism."

Andy Lee Returns To Action on May 18 in Rosemont
On Wednesday, May 18, Hitz Boxing and its founder, Bobby Hitz, will return to where it all began, Rosemont, Illinois, for another night of world-class boxing entitled the "Rosemont Rumble" at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
The night's main event will feature popular Irish Middleweight contender Andy Lee (25-1, 19 KOs).
Unlike most top contenders, Lee will be getting back in the ring just a couple months after scoring a sensational come-from-behind tenth-round knockout against the previously unbeaten Craig McEwan while the HBO cameras rolled.
When Bobby Hitz first transitioned from heavyweight boxer to promoter, he embarked on what became a legendary 12-year series of shows in Rosemont entitled the Ramada Rumbles.
"We are back to where it all started," said an enthusiastic Hitz. "And in the spirit of going back to the glory days, we've got an old-school-type of fighter, Andy Lee, who is one of the most exciting sluggers in boxing in the main event. He's not your usual big-name boxer. Andy doesn't want to lay around. He wants to keep busy and stay sharp while he waits for his title shot."
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center is located at 555 N. River Road. All opponents and ticket information will follow shortly.

Skip to comments.DUmmie FUnnies 12-06-07 ("I'm about to have a votergate orgasm!")
Posted on 12/06/2004 11:40:45 AM PST by PJ-Comix
Ohio certifies it electoral votes for Bush today and you would think that the DUmmies would be in the depths of Depression. But no! Take a look at this DUmmie THREAD where the DUmmies are haveing orgasms of delight over....just WHAT???? Nothing specific only some FEELING that vote fraud in Ohio will suddenly be proved and that states electoral votes and the election victory will be given to John Kerry. Let us now take an acid trip down Fantasy Lane with the DUmmies as they leap for joy even as their last hope is about to die out. As usual, the DUmmie Delusions are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, feeling as if he is sitting in an analyst's chair is in the [brackets]:
I'm about to have a votergate orgasm! Doesn't it seems like the stars are finally aligning and things are about to explode???
[Bev Harris must be tickling your V Spot.]
No matter what we find the courts will rule in favor of their new masters. Yes, we can prove to the world and anybody in the USA who will listen that the election was rigged and stolen, but this government decided the outcome months ago and will not allow such matters to divert it.
[Our court system has this strange little idiosyncrasy. They demand that you present evidence, not fantasy.]
We Don't need the governments approval. We don't NEED their allowance of it. We will accomplish our goals anyway. Cause we are DU. We are unstoppable. We will plow through any obstacles in our way. We WILL NOT give up. We WILL NOT give in. We WILL NOT let them get away with this.
[Yeah but you need your orderly's approval to even leave your ward.]
We wouldn't have to call 'smirking chimp boy' President for the next four years, and everyone will know why.
[Good question. WHY???? WHY are the DUmmies suddenly have votergasms on the very day that Ohio's electoral votes are certified for Bush? Thus far in this thread I've seen not a shred of evidence of vote fraud presented. Or perhaps you merely visualized your own reality of vote fraud.]
This is going to be a battle of increments and attrition. At no time do I expect a single telling blow to be landed.
[What about the blow that landed on your head?]
Slowly, a damning pattern is emerging in the public eye.
[Yes. Mass delusional insanity amongst the DUmmies.]
I'm fluctuating between this being just a really low point in American history and this being the beginning of the end of our nation. Gonna go buy some more gin now.
[May I recommend Thunderbird, Vintage 2004. Either that or antifreeze will do.]
We're starting to see a multitude of organizations trying to shut down the discussion. They are ramping it up to shut us down.
[Or, more likely, laugh you out of existence.]
There is a kind of "tipping point" that may make something happen fairly swiftly. If the entire Bushco regime begins to look just too too dirty entire networks will need to distance themselves in a real hurry - if only for classic market reasons.
[The tipping point of your rationality was already reached long, long ago...and in another galaxy.]
And slowly but slowly he and his personal band of "evil doers" will lose all trust of the people. It will be slow but it will be brutal. They have come so close to having it all, in fact they may still get away with it, but if they do not their downfall will be large and loud. The best part will be the total discrediting of each and every one of them and the fact that we can finally fix our system of election so that we can again really elect our leaders. I continue to have visions of orange jumpsuits, it is about the only thing that makes me smile these days.
[That smile will be wiped off your face once you see that the person wearing that jumpsuit is Bev Harris who will be frogwalked into jail for fraud.]
We are not out to sway the government. We are not out to try and convince them "oh pleaseeee, government, we know you did it, oh Pleasssssse admit you did something wrong and leave? Oh prettttty pleasseeeee government".... Not exactly what we are out to do I wouldn't think. No. We will not sway them, we will convict them. We will not ask them to leave, we will have authorities do it via handcuffs. We will not fail in our mission. We will not fail our democracy. So help us God.
[LOL! I nominate this post for entry into the Delusional Fantasy Wing of the DUFU Hall of Fame.]
To get regular updates on the DUmmie FUnnies, just let me know if you want on the PING List.
O Good Lord.
PJ, this time I think you've gone too far....I might be permanently turned off.
Please add me to your ping list. I nominate this one for hall of fame runner up:
We Don't need the governments approval. We don't NEED their allowance of it. We will accomplish our goals anyway. Cause we are DU. We are unstoppable. We will plow through any obstacles in our way. We WILL NOT give up. We WILL NOT give in. We WILL NOT let them get away with this.
Drink the Kool Aid.
DRINK the Kool Aid!
This is hugh. And series.
Presumably, he/she/it will be shrieking "YEEEEAAARRRRRRRGHHHHH!" at the precise, split-second, Dean-approved instant of blis. :)
All better?
Was reading this one earlier in the belly of the beast; definitely a classic!!
You probably stopped reading at this point....right? :)
I asked on an earlier thread if they know about these threads of yours. If they're whining, what are they saying?
Not that these threads aren't funny enough as they are, but I'm still in the "Gloat" phase.
Thanks for the ping. Keep up the great work. They need to be laughed at.
I'm fluctuating between this being just a really low point in American history and this being the beginning of the end of our nation. Gonna go buy some more gin now.
Explains this guy's problem.
When you look at this thread I didn't see one shread of evidence but they are proof of better living through chemicals.
Seconded. LOL!
Thank you, PJ! I needed a break from my workload statistics.
They are DUmmies, hear them ROAR!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Stop it! No, really, I mean it. Tears rolling down my cheeks, can't see straight, need oxygen! Do the DUmmies know just how funny they truly are? how do they manage to live in this world? Oh yeah, THEY DON'T!
Warning: link leads to the belly of the beast.
They just can't understand that there has to be a loser. They think if they lose then somebody cheated. They had 8 years of Clinton and we win a few elections and they holler voter fraud! Its really frustrating.
This person needs TaRAYzaaah's recipe for rumatizz medicine
Yes, frustrating. I always envision them as a bunch of overgrown 2yos throwing a tantrum. Or I think of that scene in the Passion of Satan screaming in He!!. Then I can laugh :)
I think it 'cause a fed judge just approved a full recount of Ohio.
They are sinking furthur and furthur into the rathole.
"[Bev Harris must be tickling your V Spot.]"
Too funny! What time does Ohio certify today? Wouldn't want to miss the DUFU when that happens.
Good grief! How much does Bush have to win by to not warrant a recount!
Michael Medved is asking for callers who think the election isn't over.
Just a heads up, should be interesting.
FWIW - According to DU: This is a link (from DU) to a blog that purports to have a notarized statement from a programmer claiming to have written fraud software from the Republicans. This affidavit is supposedly the big thing that will start unraveling the evildoers (Bush et al).
You will note that the last page is different (has color, it clearer) from the first 3 pages. According to the blogster, this is because there was color on the last page (notary seal and signature) that caused the "auto" function in scanning to show color.
Thank you P-J Comix, and please write your DUFU book soon. I will be the first to buy it.
Is this story from the WaPo what you mean? Or do you have new info about a Fed judge approving a full recount of Ohio?
In order to avoid an automatic recount in Ohio, President Bush needs to win by a margin larger more than 0.25% of the total vote cast that corresponds to 14,000 vote margin. In the final and official vote tally President Bush margin over Kerry is 118,775 votes.
Just damn.
My first thought was "They really are insane." But I guess that they are expecting a last-minute Capricorn One style reveal of the dastardly Rethug conspiracy before the electors can be certified. Now, if they are still in this mood tomorrow, then they're nuts for sure.
Yes, we can prove to the world and anybody in the USA who will listen that the election was rigged and stolen,
Finding people to listen is the tough part. Just ask any guy who believes JFK was bumped off by aliens.
We Don't need the governments approval. We don't NEED their allowance of it. We will accomplish our goals anyway. Cause we are DU. We are unstoppable.
Dying laughing...send help...
Slowly, a damning pattern is emerging in the public eye.
Perhaps if you offered any evidence, even fake evidence, this would happen! The closest you all got was when Peter Jennings did a story on your delusional rantings just to make sure they were well and truly debunked. You might as well be telling the public that Bush is a Martian, you have offered just as much evidence for that assertion as you have for the charge that the election was stolen!
They are ramping it up to shut us down.
And this person types this on a message board that is the gathering place for a national group of socialists and never appreciates the irony.
Any recount that is not completed by Dec/7th is not legtimate and has zero effect on the outcome of the Presidency.
Holy Cow! What a rant/rage that DUmmie was on. They are just losing it lately.
One of my favorite recurring sentiments there is "Why are Americans sitting at home fat and dumb and happy while Ukrainians are in the streets?" Answer: because the Ukrainians actually have a case that their election was stolen, while nobody but you believes your insane rantings.
You can't be the first to buy PJ's book. Weeks ago I ordered a box of them for next Christmas. You can be next in line. ;9)
EVERYBODY VOTES. You don't vote-you don't DRIVE, and if that doesn't work, we find a "privilege" to take away that WILL WORK. VOTING IS THE RESPONSIBILITY A FREE CITIZEN TAKES ON TO BE A MEMBER OF SOCIETY. IT IS NO LONGER OPTIONAL.
Talk about confused.
Medveds callers are clearly DUmmies. They're using all the same terminology. Their proof is in the exit polls and Diebold machines. Ive even heard the word "surmise".

An anatopism (from the Greek ανα, "against," and τόπος, "place") is something that is out of its proper place. Thus, for example, an outrigger canoe would be an anatopism in ancient Rome.
The concept of anatopism is less widely familiar than that of anachronism, perhaps because much that is anatopistic is also anachronistic. Yet the distinction is a valid one; not all that is anatopistic is necessarily also anachronistic.
Anatopism is not to be confused with "anachorism (n.) foreign to a certain locality; geographically impossible" (Collins English Dictionary).
Catherine Hardwicke's 2006 film The Nativity Story shows a field of maize in a Nazareth farming scene. Maize is native to Mesoamerica, not to the Middle East, and in pre-Columbian times was grown only in the Americas. The use of maize in this film is an anatopism as well as an anachronism.
The same anatopism appears in the first part ("The Warrior Pharaohs") of a three-part 2002 PBS documentary series on "Egypt's Golden Empire" depicting the history of ancient Egypt's New Kingdom: ears of maize corn are shown in a scene recreating the battle and siege of Megiddo in the 15th century BCE.
Ridley Scott's 2000 film, Gladiator, set in 180 CE, features Roman soldiers riding horses using saddles with stirrups. While the Romans had had saddles since about 100 BCE, and stirrups had existed in the world since about 700 BCE, stirrups did not appear in Europe until about the 6th or 7th century CE, making them both anatopic and anachronistic.
John Ford's much-lauded 1939 film Stagecoach was filmed in Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah border, but textually set in southern Arizona and southern New Mexico. The vegetation and topography of Monument Valley and the lower-altitude deserts are vastly different, rendering the film's actual location notably anatopic.
The Polish writer Bolesław Prus, for the sake of making a point, introduces into chapter 63 of his historical novel Pharaoh, set in the ancient Egypt of 1087–1085 BCE, a substance that behaves like gunpowder.[1] This appears to be both an anachronism and an anatopism, since gunpowder is thought to have been invented, some time later, in China or in Arabia. Another apparent anatopism introduced by the author (in chapter 45) is an object that resembles a telescope,[2] that may also be an anachronism.

South Carolina weather is beautiful during the summer and cold during the winter.
We did have class closings due to ice storms, but that is rare.
Warm summers, and bipolar winters. It was -11 last night but will be around the 70's Sunday. Christmas is just now over.
The weather is pretty good. It does not get to cold because you are in South Carolina. Rains sometimes, but you usually can tell when it is about rain.
The whether is usually very fair and clear. On occasions it may rain in excess but other than that the weather really does not effect the overall campus agenda.

"Jill liked to control the process. She had like a big plan that she was going to take me down, you know? And it backfired in her face," she told Andy Cohen."Whoa, this is one cunning bitch."

RHONY: Are Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin Still Feuding?
Originally posted 03/31/2015 06:30PM
With just a week left until Bethenny Frankel returns to The Real Housewives of New York City, the faces may have changed, but fans are bound to wonder whether the feuds – on and off camera – remain the same.
Frankel's former RHONY costar Jill Zarin took to the radio waves last week to set the record straight about her relationship with Frankel, 44, saying that she has no hard feelings toward her old pal.
"There is no feud between myself and Bethenny or myself and anybody that I know of unless they come forth and tell me there's a feud," Zarin – who left RHONY in 2011 – told her longtime friend, crisis manager Wendy Feldman, on the March 25 debut of her new Dash Radio talk show The Hollywood Fixer (airing Wednesdays, 1-3 p.m. PT).
When Zarin, 51, and her husband, Bobby, ran into Frankel last summer, Zarin said the three of them "were so civil. She had a private conversation with [my daughter] Ally. She danced with Bobby."

This school is alright given the fact that its a 2 year college. The only thing I don't like is that students are taking longer than 2 years to finish.

The campus offers great resources to get started in your first two years of college.

I have yet to use any of the resources we have on campus but everyone says the tutors are awsome and are really helpful. I know that if I ever need help on my homework the tutors will be there to help.

Great history and atmosphere, somewhat disappointing food
Full marks for history and atmosphere: it is not often that one can stay in a Tudor mansion with gardens and grounds designed by Capability Brown for such a reasonable price.
Breakfast in the Dining Hall hung with portraits, on porcelain bearing the University of Cambridge crest was also fine. In the evening, bar food is available and I was fine with that, however the choice was very limited particularly for my vegetarian milk-allergic companion. Also, the bar stops serving at 8:30 pm. Having had our main courses, we were unable to order desert at 8:50 as the chef had already left. I do think a dress code should be implemented here. When staying in such a fine setting, and dressing appropriately, one does not want to come across fellow guests in overly casual attire.

2015 is almost gone – just a fortnight's worth of sand left in the timer. I don't know about you, but with the proliferation of tech gadgets and apps around, I still like having the physicality of pen & paper to record certain things.
Every year, I carry over everyone's birthdays from the previous year's diary to the following year's. I love to flip through the pages to remind myself of what I'd been up to during the prior 12 months. The work I had on, the deadlines that I had to meet, the weekends away, the people who came to visit…
I've been searching for a bright one for next year – orange being my favoured colour. Here's what I came up with for 2016 diaries – budget, mid-range and deluxe.

It's graduation season, so whether you're graduating or your child is, here are some safety tips for what's ahead.
1. Spot and avoid job-hunting scams. Paper resumés are going the way of the dodo, so graduates (or anyone searching for a job) should be careful about how much personal information they put online and should learn how to avoid job hunting scams. For more information, see Online job-hunting scams.
2. Protect your new computer. If you got a new computer for graduation, be sure it has reputable antivirus software to protect against malware. To learn what else you need to do before you go online with a new computer, see How to boost your malware defense and protect your PC.
3. Secure your smartphone. A phone that lets you surf the Internet, download apps, and take and send pictures is a great gift for high school or college graduates. Learn how to help keep the information on your phone more secure.
4. Manage your online reputation. More and more employers check Facebook pages and other online information before they hire applicants. Learn how to take charge of your online reputation.
5. Use Microsoft Office more safely. You probably already know that Microsoft Office includes useful tools for graduates. But did you know it can also help protect your computer from viruses and fraud? For more information, see Security in Microsoft Office 2010.

The Action on Fistula programme aims to transform the lives of over 1,200 women in Kenya suffering due to obstetric fistula.
An obstetric fistula is a hole between the vagina and rectum or bladder that is caused by prolonged obstructed labour when emergency care is unavailable, causing incontinence.
women living with fistula
Around 1,000,000 women live with obstetric fistula in developing countries
women's lives transformed
The Action on Fistula programme aims to transform the lives of over 1,200 women in Kenya suffering due to obstetric fistula
new cases every year in Kenya
UNFPA estimates 3,000 new cases of obstetric fistula occur annually in Kenya, with approximately one to two fistulas for every 1,000 deliveries
Recognising that many of the women with obstetric fistula live in isolation in rural communities, Action on Fistula will support the creation of a Fistula Treatment Network across Kenya and fund a major outreach programme with many Fistula ambassadors working in the field
Sufferers of obstetric fistula are often stigmatised and isolated from their families and communities. The damage often prevents further pregnancies
The Action on Fistula programme will free more women from this devastating condition and build capacity through surgical training so that more women can be treated in the future
While obstetric fistula cases can be repaired with reconstructive plastic surgery and straightforward cases have around 90% success rate, surgery and other costs such as nursing care and transport make treatment beyond the reach of the majority of the women affected
Astellas will provide funding of over €1.5 million over a three year period between 2014-2017
Fistula surgery is complicated and requires experienced healthcare professionals. Kenya currently only has four who are members of the ISOFS, the International Society of Fistula Surgeons
The Action on Fistula programme will increase the number of fistula surgeons in Kenya by 100% through the FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) Competency Based Training Programme
Programme news and views
On 23 May 2014, Astellas and the Fistula Foundation proudly announced the launch of Action on Fistula – to coincide with the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula.
The launch, which took place at Astellas' EMEA HQ in Chertsey, Surrey, was attended by 300 employees and featured presentations from Ken Jones, Astellas Pharma EMEA President & CEO and Dr Soheir Elneil, Chair of the Fistula Foundation and clinical lead for the programme. They discussed the issue of fistula in Kenya and explained the aims of the Action on Fistula campaign.
The Action on Fistula launch secured a number of high profile pieces of coverage in UK and international media, including Thomson Reuters Foundation, The Guardian, PharmaTimes, Pharmaceutical Marketing Europe and Ethical Performance.
Ken Jones, President & CEO of Astellas Pharma EMEA, said:
"Action on Fistula tackles a significant unmet need for treatment in urology, where we have a strong heritage. Obstetric fistula has been virtually eliminated in higher income countries yet is estimated to still affect around one million women worldwide, mainly in sub‐saharan Africa.
"Through our flagship corporate giving programme and in partnership with the Fistula Foundation we want to help treat more women living with this devastating condition. Critically, the programme will build capacity through surgical training so that even more women can be treated in the future."
Astellas employees raise £1600 to help more women receive life changing fistula treatment
At the end of June, Astellas employees came together for a Wild West themed company party and raised funding for the Action on Fistula programme. The event, which included tombola and a raffle, was a huge success with an impressive £800 being raised on the day. The Astellas European Foundation match funded this amount for a grand total of £1600 to be donated to the Fistula Foundation. This donation will enable the treatment of at least six women suffering from the condition.
Astellas is actively encouraging employees to fundraise to support Action on Fistula and welcomes involvement from other interested parties. For every €350 raised, an additional woman can receive life changing surgery.
See the impact the Action on Fistula programme team is making.
Dr. Sohier Elneil is trained in Uro-Gynecology surgery and practices in London as a consultant at University College Hospital. She is a member of the FIGO Committee on Fistula, and the lead author and editor of FIGO's Global Competency-Based Fistula Surgery Training Manual to develop standardised training programmes and improve outcomes for women with fistula.
Dr. Elneil will be overseeing the direction of the Action on Fistula programme, providing her clinical expertise to inform the fistula surgery training programme.
"One of the greatest obstacles in providing access to care for women suffering with fistula is the lack of appropriately trained surgeons. Action on Fistula, in tandem with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics' Competency-Based Training Programme, will significantly increase the number of skilled local surgeons who can help reduce the backlog of women waiting for fistula treatment in Kenya."
Kate Grant joined the Foundation as its first Chief Executive in 2005 and leads the Board and staff team, expanding the Foundation from supporting one institution in one country, Ethiopia, to its current global reach in 38 sites throughout 19 countries.
Kate will lead the Action on Fistula programme, overseeing delivery on the ground in Kenya, including training of fistula surgeons and a major outreach programme.
"The need for fistula treatment in Kenya is great and we can't face this challenge alone. We're honoured to be working with Astellas to end the suffering caused by fistula for women across the country."
"Our programme with Astellas will help provide the vital treatment these women need and deserve to live happy, fulfilled lives. This generous support will also help us train more surgeons to deliver high quality treatment, enabling many more women to be treated in the future."
"We value the expertise of Astellas as a global urology leader and look forward to working together to help transform many more lives of women affected by fistula."
Dr. Hillary Mabeya is the founder and lead surgeon at Gynocare Fistula Center, a nongovernmental organisation in Western Kenya that provides reproductive health services to women. Since becoming the first specialised fistula surgeon in the region in 2003, Dr. Mabeya has performed thousands of surgeries that have transformed the lives of women suffering from obstetric fistula.
He previously served as the Chairman for the Division of Reproductive Health at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, as the District Medical Officer of Health, West Pokot District, Kenya, and the District Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Kajiado District, Kenya. He also served at the Hamlin Fistula Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and as a fistula surgeon for Africa Medical Research Foundation (AMREF). His professional memberships include the Kenya Medical Association (KMA), the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB), Kenya Obstetrics and Gynecological Society (KOGS), and the East, Central Southern Africa Obstetric and Gynecological Society (ECSAOGS). Dr. Mabeya has provided numerous presentations on obstetric fistula in rural hospitals, HIV infected pregnant women, the social, economic, and cultural determinants of obstetric fistula, and surgical outcomes for obstetric fistula. He is also a lecturer and an obstetrician gynaecologist at Moi University School of Medicine in Eldoret, Kenya.
Dr. Mabeya holds a MBChB in Medicine and Surgery and a MMED in Obstetrics and Gynecology from the University of Nairobi. He is also certified in reproductive research by the World Health Organization and served as a Fellow of HIV in Women at Brown University.
"The backlog of patients waiting for treatment is tremendous. Some women have waited for over 70 years to get surgery! Action on Fistula will ease this backlog on a scale never before seen in Kenya."
Lindsey Pollaczek directs Fistula Foundation's work in Kenya. As part of the Action on Fistula programme, Lindsay will coordinate delivery of the fistula surgery training programme and manage the development of a Fistula Treatment Network and outreach programme in Kenya. She was seconded from Direct Relief where she worked since 2006, overseeing the organisation's Maternal and Child Health initiatives and partnerships in Sub-Saharan Africa.
"Action on Fistula is the first program of its kind to approach fistula on such a comprehensive scale. Pairing the knowledge and efforts of partners on the ground throughout Kenya with the expertise of globally focused organisations like Fistula Foundation and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics in this way is not only smart, but respectful of the work that is already underway in Kenya to heal women who are suffering from obstetric fistula."
