Wednesday, September 21st, 2011WHAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HASN'T TOLD YOU
By Karl Grossman
From HUSTLER MAGAZINE September 2011
Media coverage of the Fukushima Daiishi nuclear power plant, which was severely damaged as the result of an earthquake and resultant tsunami on March 11, 2011, has been outrageously poor. Rather than dig for the truth, mainstream journalists and their "experts" have simply parroted the assurances of Japanese and other officials that the amounts of radioactivity being released were low and thus posed "no health threat."
Decades ago scientists thought there was a "threshold dose" of radiation. That's because when nuclear technology began exposing people to radioactivity, they didn't promptly fall down dead. But as the years passed by, it became evident that lower levels of radioactivity take time to manifest as cancer and other illnesses. In fact, there is a five-to-40-year "incubation" period.
Now most scientists acknowledge that any amount of radioactivity can lead to illness and death, especially in fetuses and children (whose cells divide more rapidly than those of adults). As the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission itself has stated: "Any amount of radiation may pose some risk for causing cancer."
Reporters covering Fukushima have noted that potassium iodide pills being distributed in Japan "block radioactivity." However, they work only on the thyroid gland, filling it with "good" iodine so radioactive iodine-131 cannot be absorbed and cause thyroid cancer. But there are hundreds of other fission products for which there is no magic pill. These include cesium-137 and strontium-90, two of the fission products discharged after hydrogen explosions rocked four of the Fukushima power plant's reactor buildings.
The media has given voice to egregious errors. One example is the lack of understanding about the explosions that blew the roofs off the aforementioned reactor units. It was reported that zirconium fuel rods were to blame. Missed was the bigger picture: Zirconium is used in a nuclear plant's fuel rods because it allows neutrons to pass freely so a chain reaction can be sustained. But the material is extremely volatile. It explodes at 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Pound for pound, zirconium has the explosive power of nitroglycerine.
At lesser heat it emits hydrogen, which also can explode. That is what occurred twice at Fukushima. There are around 20 tons of zirconium in an average nuclear power plant. Using zirconium is like building a bridge with firecrackers.
Then there were the reports about three GE nuclear engineers who'd resigned in 1976 because of suspected defects in the GE Mark 1 Boiling Water Reactor, the same type installed at the Fukushima Daiishi plant. This was in line with the spin that flawed design was the problem,not nuclear power itself. In fact, the Mark 1's design was only one factor that prompted GE's Dale Bridenbaugh, Richard Hubbard and Gregory Minor to leave the nuclear industry.
The main reason is summed up in their statement to Congress's Joint Committee on Atomic Energy: "We did so [resigned] because we could no longer justify devoting our life energies to the continued development and expansion of nuclear fission power—a system we believe to be so dangerous that it now threatens the very existence of life on this planet."
Then there were the over-the-top declarations. "I love nuclear power,"Fox's Geraldo Rivera declared. Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor, right-wing firebrand Ann Coulter said that radiation is "good for you." Even host Bill O'Reilly was taken aback. "You have to be responsible," he cautioned her.
Coulter's remark is based on a scientific concept known as hormesis, which holds that a moderate amount of a toxin can be beneficial. Therefore, some nuclear scientists believe that exposure to radioactivity, at least in small doses, exercises the recipient's immune system. These scientists, many of whom are employed as health physicists in nuclear laboratories and other facilities, are supposed to protect people. Hormesis has been dismissed by national and international agencies involved with radiation protection.
Meanwhile, there was the disinformation about the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in the former USSR. Reporters, commonly using it as a baseline in projecting the potential impact of radioactivity released from the Japanese reactors, have written that only several hundred people died as a result of the meltdown in Unit 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Such a low figure ignores the most comprehensive study to date on the effects of Chernobyl: a book published in 2009 by the New York Academy of Sciences titled Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment. After studying health data, radiological surveys and scientific reports—some 5,000 in all—from 1986 to 2004,a team of scientists from Russia and Belarus determined that the accident actually caused the deaths of 985,000 people worldwide. More, they wrote, will follow.
That's the real baseline for a major disaster at one nuclear power plant. Fukushima involves several reactors and a series of spent fuel pools. The radiation assessment was raised to a level seven—the highest international rating for a nuclear accident, equivalent to the Chernobyl disaster. But the potential toll might be far greater than Chernobyl's—more than a million dead.
While covering the crisis in Japan, reporters have also been remiss by declaring that "no one died" as a result of the Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania in 1979. That myth was dispelled by the book Killing Our Own: The Disaster of America's Experience With Atomic Radiation by Harvey Wasserman, Norman Solomon, Eleanor Walters and Robert Alvarez (a former U.S. Department of Energy official).
I did a TV documentary on the impact of the TMI partial meltdown, Three Mile Island Revisited. Besides addressing the increase of cancer cases and birth defects in the area surrounding the nuclear power plant, it revealed that TMI's owner had quietly issued payouts, many for $1 million apiece, to settle claims involving residents who'd suffered health impacts or lost family members due to radiation exposure.
Data from the Radiation and Public Health Project, a nonprofit organization, claims that infant mortality near Three Mile Island increased by 47% in the two years after the accident and that cancer-related deaths of children under ten were 30% higher in 2004 than they were in 1979.
On March 11, 2011, CNN.com went even further than declaring "no one died": It reported that the TMI "incident caused no injuries or significant releases of hazardous material." Moreover, the media failed to mention that in recent years Japan has become a global giant in the selling of nuclear power plant reactors. Worldwide, about 80% of them are of GE and Westinghouse manufacture or design.
In 2006, Toshiba bought Westinghouse's nuclear division. Meanwhile, Hitachi entered into a partnership with GE to run its nuclear division. How might this huge stake in selling nuclear reactors influence what Japanese officials have been saying about Fukushima? The disaster was certainly not good for business.
Then there was the media line that "we don't have a choice but nuclear power." The Christian Science Monitor asserted that "finding other forms of energy that can provide a stable base load of electricity—other than coal—remains difficult."
Renewables Are Ready is the title of a 1999 book written by two Union of Concerned Scientists staffers. Today a host of safe, clean, renewable energy technologies are more than ready. Combined with energy efficiency, they render nuclear power unnecessary. Also in 1999, Scientific American—a conservative publication—ran a cover story titled "A Plan for a Sustainable Future." Its author noted, "Wind, water and solar technologies can provide 100% of the world's energy,eliminating all fossil fuels."
More recently, in October 2009, the British magazine New Scientist presented a United Nations report declaring that "renewable energy that can already be harnessed economically would supply the world's electricity needs."
But the mainstream media have continued to ignore the fact that safe, clean, renewable energy technologies are available to provide our energy needs. For example, wind power is less costly than the price tag of a nuclear plant, which can range from $12 billion to $15 billion.
A pioneer journalist on nuclear technology is Anna Mayo, who from 1969 to 1989 penned a Village Voice column titled "Geiger Counter." Japan's nuclear industry, Mayo recently commented, "is trying desperately to conceal the extent of radiation exposure, and they've wheeled out the same, old lies…as usual." Unfortunately, the media have bought this deadly nuclear deception.
Regarding the impact of the disaster on the United States, Dr. Richard Webb—a nuclear physicist and author of the landmark book Accident Hazards of Nuclear Power Plants—said it will take a year for the Fukushima reactors to cool down. Yes, a year! And during that time "all kinds of things can happen" involving both the reactors and the spent fuel pools, Dr. Webb added. He is especially concerned that another severe explosion could release many tons of radioactive poisons.
What has happened already is a clear-cut disaster. But if there are even worse discharges ahead, a horrific catastrophe is in store. The jet stream blows in an eastward direction—toward the United States. Consider the fallout that affected so many Americans during the 1950s and 1960s thanks to atmospheric atomic bomb tests. At that time, the devices contained 15 to 30 pounds of uranium, and fission (the splitting of atoms) lasted for just a second.
There are 200,000 to 300,000 pounds of uranium in each of Fukushima's reactors, and nuclear fission has been taking place continuously since the power plant was commissioned in 1971. A massive amount of lethal, radioactive poisons accumulated. The math is clear, and we are downwind from Japan.
Karl Grossman is an investigative reporter, board member of BeyondNuclear.org and professor of journalism at the State University of New York's The College at Old Westbury. His six books include Cover Up: What You Are Not Supposed to Know About Nuclear Power. Grossman, the longtime host of the nationally aired TV program Enviro Close-Up, has also written and narrated Three Mile Island Revisited, The Push to Revive Nuclear Power, Chernobyl:A Million Casualties and other documentaries.

These are awesome grips, well made meant to last. My only complaint is that the end plugs that came with it dont fit in an aluminum bar.
These are a great grip...the only reason that I'm giving them 4 instead of 5 stars is because the bar ends are too big to fit in my bars.

This year I am going with frosty silvers and white, like I did in 2010....
I think it's going to look FAB. If you stick to a simple color scheme, it is easier to go BIG without looking over-done. And at Christmas-time, I think one should always go big.
A few days ago I headed over to my local Pier 1 for a little Christmas inspiration and to pick up a few holiday staples. There was plenty of inspiration!
As I mentioned, I usually have picked out my Christmas colors way back in January, so it is nice to walk in to Pier 1 and see a beautiful selection of ornaments in the very colors I want to use. It validates my choices. (Not that I need validation or anything... It's just nice to know that I'm on the right track.) Gorgeous peacock inspired colors, beautiful finishes and textures, and I love the glitter and the beads.
In addition to finding some inspiration, I also picked up a few holiday staples. You must have candles at Christmas time. Period. And you can never have too many basic white pillar candles.
No Christmas Carol has ever made mention of the harsh glow of incandescent light bulbs. Candles, firelight... yes! |
I am a firm believer in buying basic white dishes and serving pieces, then adding in special pops of color when the occasion calls for it. There is a huge selection of colorful pottery and dinnerware at Pier 1. This blue platter would be set off beautifully against the white dinnerware I already have.
And in practical news, I picked up a new gravy boat that sits over a tea-light to keep the gravy warm. Pretty cool, yes?
We are getting our trees next week. I can't wait to start decorating them! I will not put up my Christmas decorations until December 1st, but my decorations are staged and ready to go. If you aren't ready to go, I'd suggest a cruise through your local Pier 1...

I finally have the time and hard drive space to recover from my dual hard drive failure that happened over a year ago. Laptop hard drive and external backup died at about the same time (the laptop then died shortly after). What i've discovered is that many of my zip files that I did backup are corrupted and I have lost several files because of it. So just as a suggestion to others. Back up your unzipped files. I wish I would have.
on a happier note. I am very close to getting done and will have a much better backup setup in place.
Then I can really Scrap!

My Zips Are Zapped or why it's better to back up the unzipped files
Posted 14 November 2010 - 10:32 PM
Yes I have backblaze and love it. I have a 1TB hard drive and 4 EHD's and it will back them all up! So I backup my backups! It's great insurance for $5 a month.
Posted 14 November 2010 - 10:39 PM
Mozy won't work for me quite yet since I'm currently sorting over 4T (yep T not Gb) of files. I can't imagine trying to back up all that off 8 external hard drives (with currently slow internet). I've been collecting for years. I'm trying to dejunk now. I've got more duplicates I think than originals! lol. But I think I got it figured out on how to tackle it. I had thought at the time that backing up zips was the way to go and save space. But it's easier to loose a few regular corrupted files than to loose a whole kit due to a corrupt zip.

The first open hunt for bears on private land in Bibb, Houston and Twiggs counties was held in 2011, when 34 bears were killed, all in Twiggs County near Tarversville.
In 2012, 14 bears were killed, most of them in the same area but one in eastern Bibb County.
Both years, multiple bears were killed illegally, and at least half of those harvested were females. That concerned local conservationists and some game managers. After all, Georgia has set out to protect this group of bears, by far the smallest of Georgia's three bear populations.

Healths biggest headlines; A look Back at 2012
Health, health policy, science and medicine dominated headlines in 2012, including viral outbreaks and the ongoing political battle over health care law.
Among the health topics pout front were mental health services. Toward the end of the year, after multiple mass shootings, legislators, mental health advocates and families affected by violence increased vocalizing on the need for more awareness and funding for mental health services.
Valerie Holcomb, director of forensic services at the Andrews Center, said lack of funding is the primary obstacle that hinders people from getting help.
Mental health funding in Texas is ranked 51st, behind all states and Washington, D.C.
During the past 10 years, the state has reduced funding by nearly 20 percent and state officials expect more funding cuts in months to come.
"According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Texas' mental health funding is $34.57 per capita," Ms. Holcomb said. "The national average is $103. What that means is that statewide, we have waiting lists for public mental health services; waiting lists to get into a state hospital if you're in a crisis. A person who goes into crisis, if they don't have a hospital bed and they can't get in for crisis services then they usually end up in our prison system, whether it's the local jail or the state prison system."
She said mental health treatment costs about $12 per day, while the cost to house a mentally ill person in jail is $137 per day. In addition, it costs $400 per day to care for a patient in a state hospital.
Ms. Holcomb said having a dialogue about mental health is important before anything bad happens.
"Unfortunately the stigma, with all of the different shootings, is getting worse," she said. "We've already seen that locally with the headlines. If the funding was there, those individuals probably could have gotten some help."
The stigmatization of mental illness also prevents many from getting help.
"On a daily basis, I have people come in and say, 'Well, if I get services here, does that mean I'm crazy?'" she said.
Mental health services include medication, counseling, psychosocial rehabilitation services, supportive employment, supportive housing and substance abuse counseling.
Ms. Holcomb also pointed to a lack of providers in the state.
"We need to support those laws that will provide scholarships and incentives for providers and physiatrists to go to school," she said.
She said people should contact legislators to express the importance of prioritizing mental health.
"They need to know that we've got a lot of new legislators who probably need education on the importance of mental health services," she said. "The poster child for mental health services is not rosy cheek kids, so it's not pretty to look at."
Health and fitness was the talk in Tyler throughout 2012, with two major initiatives of the Fit City Challenge being introduced to the public. They are Lighten Up East Texas, a six-month, regional weight loss challenge and 5-2-1-0, a health program designed for school-age children.
"The community has created a buzz for people to start taking action," said George Roberts, chief executive officer at Northeast Texas Public Health District and a leader in the Fit City Challenge campaign. "We've grabbed the people's attention."
So far, about 2,300 signed up to participate in the weight-loss challenge, with 942 weighing in at the kickoff event in November. The 5-2-1-0 curriculum has been implemented in Tyler and Whitehouse ISD elementary schools. It advocates getting five servings of fruits and vegetables, two hours or less of screen time, one hour of physical activity and zero sugary beverages daily.
The health district was recognized for its efforts by the National Association of County and City Health Officials during its annual conference for developing and implementing the Fit City Challenge. The city of Tyler also has been recognized for its health initiatives.
"Reflecting back on the year, one of the first positive things that happened is that the City of Tyler was named a gold level heart and stroke healthy city," Roberts said. "Of of the 11 cities surveyed, we received the highest score."
The program measured the efforts to make a city healthier. Part of that included the Fit City Challenge campaign and initiatives that spun off from that, Roberts said.
In 2012, the health district received a community transformation grant from the state to develop programs in Smith, Van Zandt and Wood counties.
"It's threefold: to implement smoke-free initiatives in these three counties, to support healthy living and Fit City-type coalitions, and to help citizens better monitor their blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar," Roberts said.
Also at the health district, the agency's WIC (Women, Infants and Children) coverage expanded from 11 to 20 counties.
The health district was instrumental in educating residents about the threat of the West Nile virus, also a hot topic late in the year. As Texas experienced a surge in West Nile cases, local health officials urged residents to look after their older family members and neighbors, who were most vulnerable.
Beginning in August and lasting through the fall, Texas had 835 cases and 86 deaths from the virus. In East Texas, there were 22 cases in Smith County; 29 in Gregg County; eight in Van Zandt County; four in Henderson County; one in Wood County; 11 in Rusk County; three in Upshur County; and eight in Cherokee County. There were no cases in Anderson County and one death each in Gregg and Cherokee counties.
This year, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld all of the Affordable Care Act, the controversial health care law enacted by Congress in 2010. The key part of the legislation, the individual mandate, requires all citizens to purchase health insurance when that portion of the law is implemented in 2014.
The individual mandate was not upheld based on Congress's power to regulate commerce between states to require people to buy health insurance. However, in a 5-4 vote, the justices said that because individuals can refuse to buy insurance and face a penalty, it is a kind of tax Congress can impose using taxing power.
Another part of the law was the requirement to expand Medicaid eligibility. Effective April 2010, states receive federal matching funds to expand the program. In that law, it required states to comply with the new eligibility requirements or lose funding. However, the government cannot threaten with loss of funding if they choose not to expand Medicaid, the court said.
In 2014, when the individual mandate will affect all citizens, states are supposed to have in place a competitive insurance marketplace for individuals and small businesses to purchase affordable plans.
Some governors, including Gov. Rick Perry, asserted that they would not expand the Medicaid program or set up insurance exchanges for the newly insured population.
Some parts of the health care law have been enacted since it was signed into law. Other provisions will be added through 2015. Features enacted since 2010 include: providing access to insurance for uninsured individuals with pre-existing conditions and extending coverage to young adults up to 26 on their parents' plans.
Locally, there were mixed views about the health care law. Most concerns centered on funding, doctor shortages and addressing the needs of newly insured patients.

What's up everyone? Ryan here with another update from the System Divide tour. I figured this week I'd go over my setup for anyone that was curious as to the gear I am using for this tour.
What's up SickDrummer crew? Ryan Hilerio here checking in with an update from the road, currently touring with System Divide. The tour so far has been absolutely incredible! The response from the fans is amazing. The venues on the tour are unlike any I've ever played before. Going from playing small clubs to 2,000 capacity opera houses is definitely a huge change for me.

It's MSU's final home game of the season and next-to-last overall, and it's what you could probably label a swing game. If the season to this point goes as State hopes, then beating Arkansas could take the Dan Mullen era to new heights.
The Razorbacks have won three in a row in this series, with MSU's last win coming in 2008, 31-28 at home. It's another one of those Western Division teams that Mullen needs to beat if this program is to become a real contender.
Arkansas Razorbacks (Nov. 17, in Starkville)
• Conference: SEC
• 2011 record: 11-2 (6-2, 3rd Western Division)
• Final ranking: No. 5 AP, No. 5 USA Today, No. 6 BCS
• Coach: John L. Smith (first year)
• Returning starters: 16 (8 offense, 6 defense, 2 specialists)
• Last meeting: Arkansas, 44-17 (Nov. 19, 2011, in Little Rock)
• On the Web: arkansasrazorbacks.com
Before all that wacky Bobby Petrino stuff happened, a lot of folks (me included) considered Arkansas a dark horse national title contender, or maybe even a for-real legit contender. I still like this team, but Petrino's ignominious departure has cast some doubt onto the assumption that the Hogs can run with the big dogs.
That's understandable, because Petrino is a heck of a good coach. Smith is no slouch, though. He's a veteran who's head coached at Idaho, Utah State, Louisville and Michigan State. He has a career record of 132-86. And Smith knows Arkansas, having served as special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach from 2009-11. Keeping the entire staff of assistants intact should be a big plus.
The talent on the field hasn't gone anywhere. In fact, the Razorbacks should be better in at least one area: running back. Knile Davis is back after missing 2011 with a knee injury. He earned first-team All-SEC honors the year before, rushing for 1,322 yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging 6.48 yards per carry, tops in the country. Davis could be in the mix for the Heisman Trophy.
Quarterback Tyler Wilson is squarely in that conversation. He stepped in last season and made people forget about Ryan Mallett, completing 63.2 percent of his passes for 3,638 yards, 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He's lost some key receivers, but the Hogs are expected to reload at that position. Cobi Hamilton (542 yards, four TDs) and tight end Chris Gragg (518 yards, two TDs) will lead the downfield attack. Absent from the group will be Marquel Wade, who was expected to be a key cog but was suspended for the season after a burglary arrest.
Four offensive linemen with starting experience return up front, and all in all, this offense should again be one of the league's most prolific. If any major issues arise with this team, it'll be on defense. Arkansas did a solid job on that side most of last year, allowing 362.8 yards and 22.2 points per game. There were bad games, however: Texas A&M racked up 628 yards, LSU had 494, Vanderbilt had 462, and Troy had 454. Arkansas went 3-1 in those games.
Can the offense bail out the defense on such a regular basis this season? The Razorbacks have lost their top two tacklers from last year, linebacker Jerry Franklin and safety Tramain Thomas, along with defensive end Jake Bequette, whose 10 sacks tied for second in the SEC last season. The top returning tackler is senior linebacker Alonzo Highsmith, who had 80 stops, 12.5 tackles-for-loss and 4.5 sacks.
Arkansas recorded 29 sacks last fall (fifth in the league). QB pressure will be key this season, because it looks like the quality of quarterback play in the SEC is on the rise with guys like LSU's Zach Mettenberger and MSU's Tyler Russell stepping under center. If the Hogs can just be decent again on defense, and not give up yards in such large chunks, then they could indeed be in the national championship picture.

My son loves these shoes! Ge has wide feet and these are perfect! They are a little bigger, he normally wears size 4 and Crocs 4/5 are too big. I am keeping these and ordering a size smaller. I also thought they would fall off his feet, but they stay on pretty well.

My four year old has been wearing Crocbands for a few summers, but he was between sizes this year. We ordered the classic and the button on the inside that connects the heel strap to the shoe has rubbed a blister. Boo!

There are a ton of options for parents when it comes to shoes for their kids but I think Crocs are the best choice. They're comfortable, easy to get off and on, easy to maintain, easy to size and easy to afford. As soon as my son could walk really well, we put him in Crocs and he has been in them ever since. Get some!

These are great! Lightweight and easy to get on and off. My son is 15 months and wears a 5 Wide in a sneaker, so I bought the 4/5 in these Crocs. They are a bit big, but he will be able to wear them all summer. There are so many fun colors to choose from, the price is great, and these Crocs are easy to wear. Why not get a pair now?!

From the time I was eleven I've been into designing websites.Now I'm eighteen years old and looking into pursing web design as a career.I'm not stupid,I know that what I know about web design now isn't nearly enough to get a job with.I'm planning on either going to college or taking a course on web design,but before I can make this kind of choice I need to know:
Is it difficult to break into the web design industry,even with proof of college or college level education and a portfolio? |

Trust me, clients will not ask for your education background trust me. As a web designer you do need to have a portfolio.
Its not that hard to break into this industry, I recommend you get some only projects before you go around for a real interview. You can find a lot more clients online, therefore lots more projects and maybe more money. |

I knew someone would say something like this The thing with me, though is that I have no will power and I never actually stay away from some of the things listed
The trick is to be persistent and follow a strict diet for the period you lose the weight you'd like to shed. Then you can work your own diet and just maintain the achieved results. Occasionally you can eat whatever you want. Carbohydrates are really the biggest culprits but same carbos, as sugar, more so in comparison to bread (wholemeal of course).
Johan is not nuts. At least not anymore nuts than the rest of us. He is ruled by his own psychology, which includes jealousy that he cannot sing that high.
Any good ones I can follow?
Pierre Ducan's diet works well for me. Actually I've never tried any other diet. At one stage you get a bit sick of proteins, meat in particular, but that lasts around month and a half (it depends of course how much weight you want to shed). Then you are allowed to eat more things. But you have to be healthy of course. It's not reccomended to people with heart & kidney problems in particular. You have to drink tons of water as well. The diet lasted less than 4 months altogether and I lost around 20 kilos. In the end I stopped it before I'd planned because I kept on losing weight and it wasn't necessary. Nevertheless I still follow certain rules when eating as reccommended. Generally you should eat more proteins and cut on sugars, fruit included. Vegs are allowed. Read a bit about it to see whether it'd work for you
Try the Hunter diet.Suck cock all day long. You'll have no time to eat.
Fuck that shit.Just eat right and exercise. Simple.No bread, no pasta, light dairy, no sugary soda shit, no energy drinks.
The basics:[Energy from food] minus [Energy spent through activity] equals [Energy surplus that will be stored as fat on your body].So, if you eat more energy than you spend, you will gain weight. If you spend more energy than you eat, you will lose weight. Then it stands to reason that the way to lose weight is to eat less, be more in activity, or a combination of these two.Usually people have a strong aversion to reduce the amount of food they eat or to exercise more, so they seek more advanced methods, like not changing the amount of food you eat but the sorts of food you eat (preferentially towards foods with less biologically available energy) or when you eat (i.e. to control hormones that affect fat storage) and the way they exercise (methods that will cause high metabolism 24/7), etc.
I like Pierre Ducan's dietStart it todayRunning and yoga are alsoI will also take L-carnitine
When I was at school (feels damn weird saying that now) I walked about 2 mles each day there & back, plus walking class to class, I ate shite but was really skinny. All the walking just became everyday routine.Damn, I miss that walking...
I'll read up on it. Thanks!
I wouldn't recommend that diet because you are way too young for diets still If you wanna eat healthier or follow a healthy nutritional program you should consult with a nutricionist because everything has to do with your own metabolism, height, habits, inherit diseases, etc etc etc. But the best advice I can give u is drink tons and tons of water
I actually did think about that.
Are you a doctor?

With real money out of the equation for US players on the major sites, we were considering some regular free play tournaments.
Perhaps a midweek evening (recreational game) and then a weekend afternoon (league format)
This would be a way for everyone to still play the game they love, and compete against their friends from PokerNations each week.
And we could make it interesting by having some monthly prizes in the league games so there's more than just bragging rights up for grabs (poker book, PokerNations shirt, etc)
If you'd be interested, let us know here. Looking at PokerStars or possibly Tilt to run these. Share what site you'd like to play at, what days/times are best (mention the time zone!) and let us know you're interested!
5-6pm EST is 10-11pm GMT over in England, which can be tough on a Sunday if people have to work the next day. Typically between 2-4pm EST seems to work reasonably well for meshing with West Coast players on PST and the folks over in England as well
Tess Tessier said:
How about UB they are still up and running. I play there almost everyday....
If you mean real money I don't think we'd want to risk having people play on a site for real money while it's currently being targetted by the DOJ and there's uncertainty over cashouts, etc.
The reason we like PokerStars is we can setup a home game league format where it tracks monthly results so we can award prizes on our end

Ruby's recall is good enough for her to go to the next step, off leash in an unfenced area, which is MOST of the property here. If she's going to garden with me, she HAS to be reliable off leash.

Ruby is adorable! It is really great that you are taking the time to train her correctly, it makes all the difference in keeping a dog safe and happy too. I also have a shy boy who spooks easily and cannot be off leash. Poor Bailey was abused before Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees rescued him. Thanks for all your posts, love them all!

Ruby has achieved quite a bit in her short time with you. I've only had one dog who had reliable recall. All of my three dogs now seem to think that the recall is an optional exercise, only to be performed when there is nothing more interesting to do. Fortunately, there is nothing more interesting to do most of the time, and they usually comply with the command, but I know that they can never be off-leash in an unfenced area.

Ruby is gorgeous -- what a pretty girl. And how wonderful that she will be trained to be reliable off-lead. We only had one dog who could do that -- a sweet mixed breed. All of our Cavaliers have been dunderheads when it came to that -- too distracted by shiny things, if you know what I mean.
I loved the glimpse of the green house in the picture of Ruby -- and your artsy tilted pocket snap!
Glad to hear you are busy growing!

You are so fortunate that Ruby listens. Our newest one lives to run, not to run away, but just to run regardless of any consequences. We have to make especially sure she does not become off leash.

Clean-Up Jar
16 comments :
Do you have a limit on how many jelly bellys they can earn on any given day? And do they get them ONLY for picking up clutter? I certainly don't want to limit cleaning (that would be insane!), but it would be just like my kids to go on a cleaning frenzy just to get more candy, or expect a reward for any little task, like setting the table! Just wondering what worked for you. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan!
I haven't set a limit on how many they can earn, but would if the need arised. After they do all of their chores (that they don't get jelly beans for) which includes picking up shoes, homework, making their beds, picking up their dirty clothes, etc. they usually only want to do a few more things to earn candy. I think the most they've earned in a day is 6 beans or so.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I read each and every one and will try to respond to any questions you may have.

Will you please post the proof reading marks page that you showed at the conference? I would love to share it with my students.
Hi Sandy,
We haven't worked on the document, though we all tweaked it in our own classrooms. If you have a copy of what changes you made, we'd love to share another version!
I was wondering if you and your buddies have revamped the lesson plans from last summer. I used them and thought they were great! I thought that since we have all been put through the actual test that the plans may have changed!!!
Pet peeves, shopping list, topics of conversation, things you own that you're glad are yours, things you can do (that you couldn't do when you were a baby), things you've heard about from the news....
Those are the "gritty life quick list," and each one has a text structure. If they're not posted as "gritty life text structures," I'll post them.
I am looking for the quicklist that Gretchen has done at some of her staff developments. It has pet peeves, shopping list items, etc. Can someone send me that if you have it? Thank you!
Where is your "super simplified" STAAR writing rubric?
Here's the link to Heinemann's reproducibles that go with Crunchtime. Apologies to those of you who have experienced difficulties finding it!
As always the Lane-Bernabei team have done it again--fabulous non-fiction strategies. I will be sharing several of these with teachers next month! Particularly intrigued by the Infoshots. I'll look on trailofbreadcrumbs to see if Gretchen share how she teaches this. Thank you for your generous sharing and your briliant teaching strategies!
Gretchen has a new book coming out from Heinemann that includes info shots and her new work. Keep your eyes peeled.

it was a cool episode. So thats where ash got corphish from!
it was a cool episode. So thats where ash got corphish from!
Fu.ck Serebii Fourms.
I thought this was a good episode. Corphish was really becoming a pain for Ash, Brock, Max, May and een Team Rocket. I thought Ash made a good choice in the way he decided to train. I felt bad for May during the late night stake outs. She was obviously very scared about the whole situation. I did think however it was neat that May had been training for pokemon contests, even if she didn't quite know the rules. I was surprised that the pokemon turned out to be a Corphish. Although I was glad Ash captured it. It was really powerful and should definantly help him defeat Brawly.
I <3 May.
I do not do competitive battling and I really do not have any desire to. I also do not go out of my way seeking for shinies because I never really understood why they were so great anyways. All I truely enjoy pokemon contests, breeding, and in-game battling.
I think grass pokemon are the greatest ever and I take great pride in the ones I have raised. I also think that Chikorita is the most adorable pokemon ever!
If you would like to know me send me a message. I'm not shy(:
Great episode, especially when Corphish battled vs Treecko.
Ash and Brock really knew something about holes in the ground, and it works.
Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
I just saw the episode. My favorite bits had to be Ash and his Pokemon traning in the begining with waves, Treecko messing up, the sweat drop LOL. Than Ash/Brock digging a hole and being proud of falling for Team Rockets traps and May/Max going "How low can you go?" With Ash/Brock going "The Shame" HAHA. I also liked how smart Ash was being with his traning here. Episodes like these make me really want Brock around forever, cuz I kind of like Ash/Brock friendship.
Another part I liked was May/Max using the shame work on Team Rocket about there motto and they did the same thing Ash/Brock did LOL. They must be wearing off on each other, I mean coppying the hole digging from Team Rocket? Falling into traps? ManXD
edit 2;
Did any one else get reminded of the first Pokemon movie with that music at the end? When Ash was shaking Corpfish claw? Was like The First movie begining music. For some reason they decided to use that bit for that one scene, guess cuz it took a while for Ash to catch it. Whatever I liked it.

Ash fan. Luffy fan. Gintoki fan-Gintama.
Multi Luffy {One Piece} and Ash {Pokemon} Shippers.
Well it was an entertaining episode. You don't usually get those with a capture now do you?
Liked that Ash and Co. tried to stop the menace, but it turned out to be a naughty Corphish. I liked that Treecko fought it and that's what allowed Ash to catch it.
Ash's first main non-starter Water type. Cool. 6/10
#thuglife #navy #ratchet
Corphish sounds funny.
Great episode too.
This was an alright episode for me. It was getting a little repetitive with them trying to trap Corphish, but I really like it and I'm glad Ash captured it.
Corphish's first episode was the best I remember in this season. (apart from the gym battles).
It seems strange that Ash had many troubles against a Water type pokemon when Pikachu and Treecko were with a type advantages. The funny part was in the end of the episode when Ash and Corphish shook hands...
This epsiode was ok... It was cool seeing Corphish for the 1st time. I'm glad Ash battled it and then caught it. Treecko vs Corphish was a really cool battle. It was funny seeing Corphish become very impatient. It was funny when Ash and Corphish shook hands in the end.
This episode was golden solely because Ash and Brock decided to dig holes to capture Corphish. It's always funny when they have the protagonists imitate Team Rocket.
pirate detective
It was nice to see Ash catch Corpish, and like Terra Branford said in the post above me, Ash and Brock digging holes in the ground was funny! I also liked how Corpish was portrayed as strong in this episode. 9/10.
I love the backwards joke that Team Rocket fell in one of groups holes and "The shame" part was an nice emphasize on that too. I also love Corphish, its aggressive and simultaneous humorous personality really made it a nice addition to Ash's team. Hence, I feel like character development in some of Ash's Pokémon is getting better and better as time passes by.

I've been reading through the many stories on here and felt like I should share my experiences, I was in an abusive relationship and I honestly understand how hopeless it can feel, my now ex suffered from depression and took it out on me for two years. His torments included forcing me into sex, lying to make me sleep with him, he eventually hit me and would constantly make me feel inferior and alone making me think I was 'abnormal' for being upset about what he'd do to me. Due to his torment I developed all sorts of problems, both physical and mental, when it was going really downhill I honestly felt the best thing would be suicide. I am so glad I didn't take that route, things only got so much better after getting rid of him. I've become closer to friends, closer to family, I've been sorting my problems out and I'm looking forward to my future so much, something I really wish I had realised sooner is that it wasn't my fault how he was acting, he was too self obsessed and I was too considerate of him- too empathetic, trying to always see things his was. That simply meant he had two people caring for him and no one caring for me (or that's how it felt), you have to put yourself first in these situations. It's not your fault and you don't deserve this, but you have to remember that the only person who can save you is yourself. Others can help but you have to accept the help and do what you have to do in order to get out of this situation, there is light at the end of the tunnel and when you get there it is amazing. If your strong enough to put up with this abusive partner then you sure are strong enough to get the hell out, you may feel helpless but you aren't. Let them go completely. I hope this will help someone, good luck x
