Killer of honeybees found. Article includes the phrase "bee autopsies."
(Necropsy sounds too creepy.) It was Boo-Boo Bear, wasn't it?
I, also, thought the subject had to be human in an autopsy.
Keep quibbling guys, meanwhile Radley is giving us what we want: bee autopsies. Christ, I would've woken up earlier had I know I had an article about bee autopsies on the schedule today.
I only want to read about bee necropsies.
Autopsies? This article introduced me to the phrase "bee paste". That's a little more striking in my book.
Yogi Bear: Straight or gay? Discuss.
Snagglepuss is definitely gay, and I think Quickdraw McGraw swings both ways. Boo Boo is gayer than springtime. But Yogi? I never thought about it.
While Boo Boo was obviously a twink, Yogi was in fact a bear. Case closed.
I was trying to avoid being labeled a specist. The majority of Ursine Americans bear no resemblance to the sterotypes.
They do to some of the ones I have seen.
Didn't he have a girlfriend?
Lots of gay guys have "girlfriends".
Not gay. Ricochet Rabbit was on speed though.
Ricochet Rabbit is overdue for a comeback, if'n you ask me.
...and Mighty Mouse was on cocaine.
Shorter Obamacare: These rules will put you out of business. Come beg me for an exemption. You're now my personal bitch.
Can anyone say "Enabling Act"?
More likely "pay" for an exemption with gobs of money to re-election committees.
Does anyone have even a shred of doubt that these waivers will be another political gift doled out only to the administration's friends and donors?
I'd like to know how the exemptions are legal. Is Obama aiding and abetting criminal behavior? It's not like the executive can just exempt people from laws at will (legally).
Obama administration handing out waivers to companies protesting the new health care bill.
What if they threw a healthcare insurance reform and nobody came?
Is the toxic sludge blue, at least?
Good one.
The article does say that its highly alkaline.
Litmus paper, anyone?
Bright red.
It's no longer the "Blue Danube", but the "Red Dead Danube".
Surely the combination will make purple, which in certain atmospheric conditions could become hazy, and possibly turn to rain.
Actually I think it has been a long time since the Danube was blue... more of a festering sewer greyish brown So red is an improvement?
Is that a sequel to Red Dead Redemption? Seems kind of odd. I don't think they had cowboys in Austria.
The Red Danube has already been done, thank you very much.
The food stamps thing, that actually seems legit to me. I mean, if you're getting money from the government, I suppose they can dictate what you spend it on. If you want the sugar soda, you can still spend your own money on it.
I think the bigger issue is how much free time the Mayor has.
Oh wait, I thought the city was already crime-free.
Sure he's got the billions of dollars necessary, but it's not like Bloomberg has the physique to go all Batman in Gotham.
This falls squarely in the not-gonna-do-shit file. Since foodstamps aren't really enough to cover all a families food budget, they just buy the veggies or w/e with the stamps, and corral the forbidden foods out to get paid for in cash. Fungibility is a bitch.
That said, I'd have to agree that if you're getting $$$ from the govt. for food, it's not out of line for the government wanting to only pay for nutritious food.
Or they go to a store that will ring up receipts for "bananas" that contain 20 ounces of sugar water.
"there are a great many ethical reasons to consider why one would not want to stigmatize people on food stamps."
I thought that's why we're calling it "SNAP" these days.
Why even fuck around with food stamps then?
Just have them drop down to the welfare office and they can pick up a week's worth of Meals Ready to Eat for themselves. MRE's are what our troops love and are very nutritional.
I think you packed all of the MRE lies in two sentences.
I admit to a fondness for the cheese substance on crackers in MRE's.
It was nice knowing that by eating the cheese and crackers you could go nearly an entire week in the field without needing to take a crap.
It's nice knowing that someone appreciates our efforts.
I still shat quite regularly.
As a young man, a vet bet me I couldn't eat an entire MRE. Fool. Although I didn't rehydrate the pears. Pear dust was fine with me.
What a dumb ass. MRE's are not THAT hard to eat.
He was a retard psychopath. Worst boss ever. Alcoholic, bitter, prone to violence, and thought anyone that had ever read a book was a faggot. And thought being in the service for a few years meant he got a pass from society for any bad behavior in perpetuity.
I used imagine my dad (who was an MP) nightsticking him to death to get through the workday.
And now he edits a major libertarian magazine! wow, what a career path for Mr. Gillespie.
Just have them drop down to the welfare office and they can pick up a week's worth of Meals Ready to Eat for themselves.
Wouldn't that be massively more expensive than letting them buy soda and chips?
Oh yeah. But cost isn't the issue. The goal is to get the po folk to stop eating evil food.
At 1200 calories each, or 3600 calories a day, I don't think MREs are the way to go to get the target population to eat more healthily. They are designed for a soldier active in the field all day, not sitting on your ass watching soaps and collecting welfare.
The food stamps thing, that actually seems legit to me. I mean, if you're getting money from the government, I suppose they can dictate what you spend it on. If you want the sugar soda, you can still spend your own money on it.
Over 80% of economists, from both the left and right, agree that cash assistance does a far better job of helping the impoverished than vouchers for food, housing, medical care, etc.
Of course if we went that route thousands of bureaucrats presently micromanaging the lives of the poor (which they know nothing about) would have to find gainful employment and granstanding politicians would have to find another whipping boy.
The Obamacare thing, that actually seems legit to me. I mean, if you're getting money from the government, I suppose they can dictate what medical services you get. If you want minimum coverage that suits your individual needs, you can still spend your own money on it, except it probably won't be available.
Intended consequences, yeah?
But the difference is that Obamacare is not a voluntary program: food stamps is.
Try again.
Food stamps aren't very voluntary to the people forced to pay for the program.
Obamacare doesn't dictate that you take subsidies, just that you have health insurance. Only the people taking the subsidies would have their medical choices dictated to them.
"We will not allow the corrupt actions of a few to destroy the good work of so many," Holder said
Unfortunately, he was talking about Puerto Rican police corruption instead of any number of other more-deserving crackdowns.
I really thought the article was going to be about La Perla, the functionally legal drug market in Old San Juan. You have cops watching the one road that goes in and out of the neighborhood, while in the slums below kids with fishing tackle boxes full of all your favorite party goods flock to you trying to sell their wares. It's an interesting system, and everyone knows about it. As long as violence against tourists is off-limits in the neighborhood the cops and thugs live in harmony so you can get your party on.
Sounds like what the cop was trying to do in Baltimore on The Wire.
Yeah, it sort of has that Amsterdam, MD vibe, but not as cracked out. Since it caters to tourists you don't have the folks hiding in abandoned tin shacks getting high - they're coming in off of cruise ships or from bar hopping on San Sebastian, getting their shit, and going back to the bars.
City health officials say that drinking 12 ounces of soda a day can make a person gain 15 pounds a year.
Was this in the same Public Health textbook which says masturbation causes blindness?
A can of coke has about 100 cals. Unsweetened OJ has about 120. Sweetened OJ (like you get at McDonalds) is about 140.
So let's accept that drinking a can of coke each day adds 15 lb. to your fat lazy food stamp using ass.
That means that drinking "healthy" OJ would add either 18 lb. or 21 lb. to that same spandex splitting ass of yours.
This is why journalism majors suck. Why can't one of them do this same math in their head and then ask Bloomberg to explain why he thinks pop is evil and juice is great?
An excess of 100 calories a day adds up to 365,000 calories a year which is about 10 lbs per year weight gain. But the key part of that sentence is "excess".
fucking decimal places; starting over . .
100/day = 36,500 calories per year == 10 lbs weight gain.
Why can't one of them do this same math in their head
Or more generously, I'll lend them a pencil and something to write on. I can meet them 1/2way on this math thing.
I'm looking at a can of Coke right now and it says it has 140 calories.
Are you calling the internet a liar?
Maybe serving vs. can-size. 1 serving is usually 8 oz.
Yes, I am.
Also, juice has vitamins in it. The problem isn't so much calories per se as calories without nutrients.
But of course, you can more than make up for that can of Coke by walking a mile in 20 minutes.
My gods! People drinking 12 ounces of 2% milk a day will gain 20 pounds a year. And forget whole milk... that will cause the whole city to balloon to parade float sizes.
12 ounces of semen a day would add 45 pounds in a year.
Preach it, Bro!
You have openely declared that you are fat, right SugarFree?
I'm not an immobile mountain of flesh, but yes, I'm am overweight. But I only snowball the dudes I blow, so the calories don't apply to me.
How many calories to you burns giving the blow jobs?
Not enough to make me thin, obviously.
Then you need to work harder.
I was always branded an underachiever in high school.
"Voted most likely to give poor blow jobs"
Don't bring up yearbooks. I'm still miffed I didn't get class clown. Although I pretty sure that guy killed himself in college.
I recall that the year I was a senior, the yearbook advisor (i forget what class she taught) decided that naming a class clown or a person most likely to succeed was an old and boring practice so she wasn't going to permit us to do that. And she didn't. What a fucking bitch.
In my yearbook, some girl arranged the poem next to her picture so that the first letters of each line spelled "Lick my clit". No one caught it until after the books were published.
Unfortunately, it's usually the case that the girls that do that kind of thing are about the last ones whose clit you actually would want to lick.
But it was still awesome she did that.
Unfortunately, it's usually the case that the girls that do that kind of thing are about the last ones whose clit you actually would want to lick.
Speak for yourself. Smart, kinda geeky chicks work for me.
For the record, I drank a gallon of whole milk a day for 6 months straight.
I was lifting heavily at the time and my goal was to gain weight, but I only went from 155 to 165. Gained a lot of strength though.
And there was that one time around the holidays when I had 3 three gallons of eggnog in two weeks in addition to my gallon of milk, and ate a pint of ice cream three times a week.
I've never weighed more than 168#...
BTW, I'm only three and a half feet tall
But I'm dating the hottest broad in the shire...can't get enough of my hairy feet.
Context has no place in modern journalism.
I'm guessing Bloomberg is using soda as a test run. If he can get the soda thing through, I imagine he'll go after more things like evil transfats and snacks with too much salt.
Fuck Bloomberg. Money is fungible, and he, of all politicians, should know that.
Yeah, but this really isn't the worst thing he could do. The majority of losers on foodstamps probably /do/ need a nanny like Mike Bloomberg to tell them what to do.
Alternatively, I'm of the opinion that you should stop having to follow rules once you get into certain positions of responsibility or income brackets. Like drug and traffic laws should not apply to you if you are already demonstrably productive and responsible. If you can't even keep your own act together, you should still be free unless your taking handouts, in which case you should be beholden to whatever terms the giver stipulates.
Nice way to stereotype people. I'll go remind 10yrold Me that my family were losers. So, are all newly divorced mothers raising their kids alone losers, or just the ones who can't make ends meet?
And what part about being productive and responsible in general guarantees that same person behaves properly on the road or with their drugs? Just because someone makes a good living they should be allowed to run traffic signals/signs or other reckless behaviors? The better direction to take that line of thought would be: why pull over drivers unless they're actually driving recklessly? Just speeding isn't necessarily dangerous. Speeding on a country road, at night, in the rain? *BWOOP BWOOP*, license suspension. Swerving around because you're driving drunk? Get out them scissors i save for cuttin up licenses. We could actually, you know, focus on enforcing the law in a way that actually promotes safety. That was the whole point, right?
Here's what I dont get though: why not just give people a job instead of a handout? It's not like we have a shortage of noskill bullshit gov't jobs, give those suckers out to the people who really need them. Oh, sorry, I forgot that the people who already have those jobs probably couldn't find gainful employment anywhere else (unless all the worlds garbagemen up and died tomorrow.)
Public health experts greeted Mr. Bloomberg's proposal cautiously. George Hacker, senior policy adviser for the health promotion project of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said a more equitable approach might be to use educational campaigns to dissuade food-stamp users from buying sugared drinks.
I wonder who Mister Hacker might suggest as a paid consultant to structure and implement this re-education program.
Mandate warning labels on sugared drinks. Sauce for the goose ...
The mayor requested a ban for two years to study whether it would have a positive impact on health and whether a permanent ban would be merited.
Ladies and gentlemen, the philosophy of pragmatism, in all its dreary, petty banality.
Mr. Bloomberg and his health commissioner, Dr. Thomas A. Farley, said the ban would help curb the city's obesity epidemic
That's right. Words no longer have meanings.
"This initiative will give New York families more money to spend"
Reality is whatever we want it to be, as long as it's for The Families™.
re: Obesity Epidemics
This is why I don't sleep with fatties.
That's where I went wrong, dammit.
Bitch gave me the fat.
Where's the outrage over the real epidemic: condoms don't prevent transmission of teh fat.
Killer of honeybees found. Article includes the phrase "bee autopsies.
Stories like that lead to trouble like this. Almost as bad as drawing Mohammed or burning a Koran. -
"It looks like the suspect is probably very, very unstable"
Try saying that about other types of True Believer.
Lowell officials locked down schools in the area as a precaution, Lowell police officials said.
Because the guy was shooting farmers and constructions workers at farmhouses after asking about bees, let's overreact For The Children.
But there are solid clues: both the virus and the fungus proliferate in cool, damp weather... so, global warming the bees?
Killer of honeybees found.
Good. I hope it wipes out that invasive foreign species.
It's cell phones, right?
High voltage power lines?
CFCs?Oh, it's like natural disease shit. I expect the surving colonies are more resistant to the viral/fungal disease and will pass that on to future generations. But what the hell do I know? My last formal biology education was in 1970.*
* True story, in my HS biology class we has a glass walled beehive with egress to the outdoors via a pipe in the classroom. One day a brave, but not too bright, mouse crawled into the beehive. They killed him and walled the carcass up. Tell me that ain't a fucking cool biology lesson.
They killed him and walled the carcass up. Tell me that ain't a fucking cool biology lesson.
Hold the class for an additional period and they get their daily fill of poetry as well.
That ain't a fucking cool biology lesson. That's a fucking bitchin' biology lesson. If only that had happened in the age of ubiquitous video cameras, we could all be watching it right now.
(and yes, I spelled ubiquitous correctly on the first try, without the aid of a spell-checker)
This can't be it. It has to be man-made.
Everyone knows that Nature doesn't do these sorts of awful things. She's harmonious.
Totally. You know the dinosaurs went extinct from retranthropomorphic factors, right?
If you haven't seen it before, you might enjoy The Hellstrom Chronicle, available on Youtube but not DVD. :-(
I thought they just went home to Melissa Majoria?
"Exactly how that combination kills bees remains uncertain, the scientists said — a subject for the next round of research. But there are solid clues: both the virus and the fungus proliferate in cool, damp weather, and both do their dirty work in the bee gut, suggesting that insect nutrition is somehow compromised."
So to save the bees, we just need to heat up the planet a few degrees.
Sounds like we just need to microwave the bees.
From the honeybee article:
Suspected culprits ranged from pesticides to genetically modified food.
What a surprise! The two agricultural boogeymen of the left. Is there anything they can't and aren't blamed for?
I'm just glad they found the real killers.
It can't possibly be a virus and a fungus. It is intuitively obvious to all sophisticated thinkers that genetically altered corn is killing the honeybees.
You do know that viruses and funguses are genetically altered from their forebears, no?
1. Not all the time.
2. What the hell does viral/fungal genealogy have to do with GM Foods?
1. Really? They're methanogens?
2. You don't want to know.
I'm surprised they didn't say global warming/climate change is responsible.
Wait for the next round of accusations.
"Global Warming May Be Partly to Blame for Honeybee Deaths"
Killer of honeybees found.
At least the Dept of Homeland Security has helped to do something productive. Do you suppose the bees bow down 5 times a day and pray in the direction of Mecca?
Have hordes of sex workers snubbed the Commonwealth games?
They never turn up when you're expecting them
Is it possible that somewhere out there is a lost tribe of sex workers, condemned forever to wander the globe in search of work and pay? We only ask because the latest alarming reports [1] from the Commonwealth Games in Delhi warn of some 40,000 sex workers about to descend on the event.
Indian NGO Impulse NGO Network seem to believe that sex trade workers numbered in their thousands have been lured to India by promises of "lucrative pay" - though in reality they face exploitation and abuse.
For some reason 40,000 just happens to be the magic number of prostitutes that were forecast to turn up at the World Cup in South Africa this year, at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver before that, and at the last World Cup in Germany. What is the significance of this number? -
I'm sure it's just a random number meaning umpteen, kind of like the Biblical 40 days and 40 nights.
What is the significance of this number?
I would ask the guys at Games Workshop, but that's just me.
Space marines FTW!
I don't know why I was surprised to find someone beat me to GW reference in a comment thread on Reason.
Dune and Wh40K references travel faster than the speed of light. I blame foldspace/the warp.
GOP ad calls God-fearing Blue Collar West Virginian's "Hicky;" John et. al appalled at blatant elitism I'm sure
"Clothing Suggestions" included jeans, work boots, flannel shirt, denim shirt, "Dickie's [sic] type jacket with t-shirt underneath," down-filled vest, "John Deer [sic] hats (not brand new, preferably beat up)," and "Trucker Hats (not brand new, preferably beat up)."
That is how hicks dress, except I don't usually see the vest down south. Only some fucking city-boy ad major could misspell John Deere.
I saw this crap on Morning Joe. What a desparate group these Democrats be. They can call the Tea Partyists racists, bigots an violent maniacs and that's just fine. But hicky? Now that's a real insult.
Go fuck yourself, Minge.
Well, I'm not the one railing about "elitism." Suggesting W. Virginians are "hicky" is pretty elitist...
As I read it, the candidate never said or even suggested that West Virginians were hicky. The advertising agency his campaign hired to put together the ad for them said in its casting call that they were looking for people with a "hicky" look.
As with just about all things having to do with politics and elections, a tempest in a teapot and much ado about nothing. Big fucking deal.
Tit-for-tat gotcha looks really good on you, Minge.
I honestly don't see what's offensive about saying "try to look West Virginian".
I think the fact that Raese is running on the platform of being good for business, and nevertheless, the big mining companies just came out in support of his rival, current Gov. Manchin, is probably more of a problem for him than this ad.
I'm all for this. Non-liberals ARE hicky.
I beleive the correct term is "hickish", not "hicky".
Is the Hungarian plant where the spill occurred a Communist-era facility?
I can't imagine they're building a lot of aluminum plants in Hungary these days.
But I can't find information on the plant itself or its age anywhere.
Two University of Wisconsin-La Crosse freshmen have been charged with sexually assaulting another male student.
Casey Gudis, of Ladysmith, 18, and Brayden Wienke, 19, of Clear Lake, each were charged Wednesday with first-degree sexual assault. Wienke was charged as a party to the crime.
According to the criminal complaint, Wienke is accused of pinning the victim Sept. 27 while Gudis sodomized the man after the alleged victim threw playing cards at Wienke.
The university placed the suspects on emergency suspension and intends to seek expulsion for nonacademic misconduct.
Wienke won the Division 3 WIAA wrestling championship in his weight class in 2009 and 2010.
So holding him down and farting in his face wasn't good enough, huh? They had to fuckin' fuck him in the ass?
What is this world coming to.
I RTFA'd--they didn't fuck him in the ass, they shoved a lint roller up his ass. Actually that sounds more painful.
Well, if you're from a place called Ladysmith, of course you grow up to be a manrapist.
The rapists names struck me as really rapey too.
At least they didn't have a party and then refuse to let the cops in.
Those monsters have to be charged with a $86,000 fine.
Over 80% of economists, from both the left and right, agree that cash assistance does a far better job of helping the impoverished than vouchers for food, housing, medical care, etc.
But they might take that cash and buy Teh Demon Rum, or (HORROR OF HORRORS!) go to a titty bar and cause patriarchical oppressions and exploitations and who-knows-what other depredations what with their male gazes and rape cultures and whatnot!
Surely the FEMA debit cards distributed after Katrina should give them hard evidence on this subject.
Best line from the bee article:
"we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles
Wick said. "It was very complicated." -
Still unsolved is what makes the bees fly off into the wild yonder at the point of death...Another possibility, he said, is a kind of insect insanity.
At which point, the honeybees are muttering "Hope, change, hope, change..."
"Mayor Bloomberg wants permission to forbid people from using food stamps to buy soda."
Just ban food stamps instead.
Problem solved.
Instead veggie stamps, greek yogurt stamps, lean chicken stamps, low-sodium snack stamps, etc will be given out in proportion to the applicant's BMI and weight.
Lean Chicken? How can chickens get any leaner? It's just cardboard isn't it.
How about issuing certificates of performance - green pieces of paper with pictures of dead presidents on them - to people who perform some usefull work.
They can then use those certificates to buy whatever kind of food they choose.
What a novel concept!
greek yogurt stamp
Skim-milk greek yogurt, naturally. We couldn't have them eating the stuff that's made from whole milk and actually tastes good.
Have you tried Icelandic yogurt?
Nope, but Icelandic lamb is quite interesing.
Is that jizz? I hate Scandinavian semen.
It's strained until it is close to the texture of fresh goat cheese. Super tangy and the protein content is very high. I usually get it from Whole Foods.
I've always said the problem with yogurt is that it isn't cheese.
Why don't they do something productive -- a WIC-like list, that maintains ALL food bought on assistance has to be cheap and meet a minimum nutritional standard? If its good enough for pregnant women and babies, its good enough for everyone.
No, it isn't.
It's from the reality-based community. Whaddya want?
Zinn addicts complaining about revisionist history. Oh, the irony.
My Left-Coast Lesbian Sister-in-Law (who is a really nice person and a kick-ass cook, and I love her) gave me and hubby a copy of Zinn's book several years ago. I was paying attention until I got to page, what, 10 or so? wherein Zinn explains the Eden that was pre-Columbian American Native existence. As though uncontaminated-by-European-influence societies never felt any human emotion or impulse other than denial and its fruit, pure harmony, with each other and their environment.
To assert that life for native peoples was always harmonious and devoid of conflict prior to Contact with Europeans (which was, indeed, catastrophic for most/all native peoples) is to deny them humanity: no jealousy, no desire for social standing or wealth relative to what their society valued, complacent acceptance of mating choices and preferences, no ritualized or spontaneous violence - EVER!, or competition for territory and its associated resources. Just pure peaceful negotiation and tribal/family life. Ahh, the good ole' days.
Standard Rousseauvean 'noble savage' bullshit. Its not even original stupidity.
Madbiker, read this. One of the main themes of the book is the way we take away the humanity of Indians by doing what you said.
Series of illustrations: George Washington and the cherry tree, George Washington in battle, and the American flag, flying high against a blue sky background.
I've got to admit, that commercial with George Washington arriving on the battle field in his Dodge Challenger makes me do fist pumps and say "Fuck Yeah!"
Modern American conservatism is, in large part, a movement shaped by billionaires and their bank accounts, and assured paychecks for the ideologically loyal are an important part of the system. Scientists willing to deny the existence of man-made climate change, economists willing to declare that tax cuts for the rich are essential to growth, strategic thinkers willing to provide rationales for wars of choice, lawyers willing to provide defenses of torture, all can count on support from a network of organizations that may seem independent on the surface but are largely financed by a handful of ultrawealthy families.
The vast right-wing conspiracy is alive and well, thanks to evil billionaires.
Fed Officials Mull Inflation as a Fix:
One perverse twist of colony collapse that has compounded the difficulty of solving it is that the bees do not just die — they fly off in every direction from the hive, then die alone and dispersed.
See, that's what libertarian radical individualism gets you -- instead of working together and living, they fly off all alone and die.
The media is treating Puerto Rico as if it were not a US territory.
For obvious reasons, social animals tend to go far away from their communities when they sense they're about to die. The last thing a hive needs is a bunch of dead bees laying around.

Has it really been close to a year since I posted??? ugh. Proof is in the pudding. I haven't been in "control" of my life for about 6 months I bet. Control for me means staying active, lifting weights, controlling my body. Life seriously got in the way. The 2 oldest kids who we have homeschooled their entire lives began public school (10th and 8th graders) son had his ACL replaced with a cadaver ligament, which has involved physical therapy 3 days a week, too many catering events to list, you know, LIFE. I have gained nearly 25 pounds. damn it. Well, the past 3 weeks I have been trying baby steps, to change that. Small changes again, walking again, being more aware of what I put in my mouth, the last 2 weeks I added a Jackie Warner DVD to the mix. and you know what? NO change on the scale. grrr. I keep telling myself that no matter what the scale says, I know I am doing something good for my body, for my health. So there you have it. I feel almost as f I am at square one, but reality says, Hello: I have only 25 to lose, 120. HUGE difference. This re-awakening also meant that I finally got out into the garage to make some room for my weights again. Since hubby came home from elk camp, he just dumped everything right in the middle of the garage and its just been getting worse and worse. He kept saying he was going to take care of it, but its been MONTHS. I figured enough with the convenient excuses for me to not work out. I bit the bullet this Tuesday and spent 2 hours cleaning up. I still can't park in there (hopefully this weekend He'll get his stuff put away) BUT I have a good space--1/2 the garage cleared and organized and I get to work with my weights. I did venture out there for the first time today and I feel GOOD! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE lifting weights! WAY more than dvds in the living room. I have a bench, an olympic bar, and curl bar and 300 lbs of weights for them, plus a "step." I put my music on, turned on the heater (its was in the 20's) and got my sweat on. Yes, I am MUCH weaker than I was probably this time a year ago, but hey, I got out there, I lifted, I got sweaty and I know that in 2 or 3 weeks, I'll be stronger. WAHOO! Here's to re-awakenings and new beginnings and taking control back!

Vampire Romance Books
Tessa Dawn's Blood Destiny was one of those books I could not put down from the first page to the very last! Jocelyn's character is tough, but completely overwhelmed when she is thrust into a world she only thought existed in horror films. Nathaniel is a sexy, seductive, and powerful vampire. However I loved the fact that Nathaniel and all his brothers have such a sensitive emotional side to them, making them seem more human than monster.Blood Destiny was a perfect book

Former traffic safety service lLC vice president pleads guilty to tax evasion
September 4, 2013 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A former vice president at a South Plainfield, N.J., traffic safety equipment business admitted today to evading income taxes on more than $2 million in withdrawals he made from the business for his own use, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Anthony R. Pecoraro, 50, of Colts Neck, N.J., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge William H. Walls to an information charging him with one count of tax evasion.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Pecoraro worked in 2008 and 2009 at Traffic Safety Service LLC, which provided traffic safety equipment and other traffic related services to local and state municipalities and private businesses. In connection with his position as a vice president, he had access to the company's business account.
During his guilty plea proceeding, Pecoraro admitted he wrote checks for unauthorized cash withdrawals for a total of approximately $2,126,200 between June 2008 and December 2009, which he took for personal use. Pecoraro acknowledged he failed to report this money as taxable income for calendar years 2008 and 2009 in the amounts of $563,800 and $1,562,400, respectively, and that if he had reported the additional cash on his income tax returns he would have owed the government approximately $733,970.
The charge to which Pecoraro pleaded guilty carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 4, 2013.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Andrew M. McLees in Newark; and IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Shantelle P. Kitchen, with the investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lakshmi Srinivasan Herman of the U.S. Attorney's Office Economic Crimes Unit in Newark.

Bashiok replied to a question about this thread today:
The tick rate of channeled skills is currently scaled by your weapon speed. This has the side effect of making the resource cost go up, which we're okay with. It's consistent with the philosophy that faster speed weapons consume more resource but may do more damage. Channeled skills might still be better with slower weapons though because on a channeled skill, you have as much mobility as you want, so the "mobility" and "overkill" advantages of faster weapons are eroded with channeled abilities, so all you're left with is increased mana cost for increased damage.
We've been thinking of changing the tooltips and going with " continuously does X% weapon damage". The reservations we currently have are:
* Even though we say continuously, there's a pulse rate under the hood, so do players want to know this pulse rate?
* If we did show a pulse rate, we're adding more complexity to an already complicated tooltip.
However, the benefit of being able to directly compare 135% weapon damage on Disintegrate to X% weapon damage on another skill is super high, so we love that.
Stepping back and going big picture, we're currently working on greatly simplifying tooltips. It's too early to give details at this point, but our general feeling is that we provide way too much information in the skill tooltips in general.

Re: DoT and Pet Scaling
Hi to everyone.
In first, i have to apologies if my english isn't good. Its not my native langage and i will do my best to avoid errors.
If i come here, its because i have some interrogation about the theorycraft.
My real problem is how to calculate with accury DMG and DPS of channeled skills.
Can you try to explain me with real simple math ? my english is good enough to understand you, but my math are bad!
Like with simple thing like :
I have XX intel
i have a 6-13 sword (13.3dps) 1.4 attacks speed
i have XX DPS global on my character screen
i use ray of frost (200% weapon dmg)

Re: DoT and Pet Scaling
After this was discovered for the Monks we decided to test out the only other class with a DoT within the beta, the WD and some strange things were discovered.

Re: DoT and Pet Scaling
Here is my discovery about dependance between channelled spells and weapons speed.
- Faster Weapon makes shorter channel to make the same damage at the same cost of resources
- Slower Weapon makes longer channel to make the same damage at the same cost of resources
- Faster Weapon hits more often with lower damage
- Slower Weapon hits less often with bigger damage
- Time is different, because two equal damage weapons (with 2 different speeds) need different durations of channeling.

Re: DoT and Pet Scaling
First, the relevant stats:
109 Intelligence
15-16 damage crossbow with 17.1 DPS and 1.1 APS
36.53 DPS on the character screen
Ray of Frost deals 215% weapon damage
Now, the problem when trying to calculate the damage of channeled spells is that they have a peculiar way of displaying their damage. They do this in half a second ticks, but the damage they show you has a much larger spread than what you would expect based on your weapon. For example, with the above stats, my Ray of Frost usually displayed 38 or 46 damage, but it wasn't rare to see a large divergence from those numbers. For example, once it displayed 52 and 62 as well.
My theory is that you can calculate the damage that channeled spells will do in a second by simply taking the DPS shown on your character screen and then multiplying it by the skills damage. By doing this for RoF I came really close to what damage the game usually showed to me.
I'm not sure what causes the anomalies in the displayed damage of channeled skills, but I have a feeling that frame rate has something to do with it.
If you didn't understand some part of my post or you have more questions, feel free to ask.

Re: DoT and Pet Scaling
Thx for you answers,
If have to resume it , with :
109 Intelligence
15-16 damage crossbow with 17.1 DPS and 1.1 APS
36.53 DPS on the character screen
Ray of Frost deals 215% weapon damage
If i use Ray of Frost, my ticks damage will be : 36.53 x 215% = 78.60 / second ?
There is no advantage to have faster weapons ?
They dont give more DPS , they only consume more ressource?
02-04-2012, 22:21 #50
Re: DoT and Pet Scaling
Yes, that's correct. Although like I said, the displayed numbers are sometimes inconsistent, but the damage itself isn't. So, according to the game I did 38 or 46 damage every 0.5 second, which means that my average damage was 42 every 0.5 second or 84 per second. According to my character sheet my DPS is 35.53 so Ray of Frost should do about 78.54 DPS, like you said, which is close enough to the displayed 84 for me, especially since the displayed numbers aren't accurate enough and the size of my sample could be larger as well.
Yes, there is. The damage of channeled skills will always be displayed every half a second, but the displayed damage will increase with faster attack speed. More APS means more DPS even with channeled skills.
They do both. Multiply a channeled skills mana cost with your APS to get the skills real mana cost per second.

MLA courses are usually offered in small seminar settings (7 to 12 students) which provide opportunities for lively engagement and exchange of ideas among the students and the professor. As with most graduate courses, students may be expected to give oral presentations and to submit written assignments, often including a substantial end-of-term paper.
Most MLA courses are usually offered during the evening at Temple University's Center City campus at 1515 Market Street, very close to City Hall. A typical course meets once a week, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Some online or "blended" courses, with variable meeting times, may also be offered.
In addition, a number of other graduate courses in the College of Liberal Arts and across the University are offered on Main Campus, typically during the day or early evening. The MLA program also offers "cross-listed" courses with other academic departments.

MLA 8110: Topics in the Arts and American Culture: Giants of Fiction
Bobby Kimbel
Tuesday, 6-8:30
In this course, we will read and analyze the shorter fiction works (80-100 pp. "novellas) of several of the great international fiction writers of the 20th century. Most students will be familiar with many of these names: Kafka, Hemingway, Faulkner, James, Tolstoy, Fitzgerald and others, but have not yet studied them. Others may have studied them in other courses, but would like to gain a deeper understanding of them. And some students will not be familiar with them, but do realize that a real level of cultural sophistication can be achieved by exposure to and understanding of the techniques and worldviews of the great masters of any art form—in this case, fiction.
Bobby Kimbel, a frequent award winner for her outstanding teaching, is also a scholar of note, having published several works of critical commentary on both fiction (mainly the short story) and the works of Eugene O'Neill. She has led many discussions at national meetings in the areas of her special interests and has given a number of public lectures. She has recently returned to Temple (where she received her Ph.D.) after many years as a tenured professor at Penn State, where she was the recipient of the Outstanding Teaching Award across all disciplines on the campus. She is a popular instructor with both undergraduates and returning students, all of whom remark about her communication skills and her passion for the subjects she teaches.
MLA 8120 Topics in Cultural Studies: Humor
Michael Szekely
ARRANGED-Blended Online course with on-campus activities
Wednesday, 6-8:30
Tentative schedule for classroom meetings: 1/29, 2/26, 3/26, 4/30 (all Wednesdays, 6-8:30pm)
This course will take seriously (no, really) the notion and impact of humor (including satire) as commentary and critique, from the boiled babes of Swift's A Modest Proposal to Chaplin's The Great Dictator to the show-stopping inquisition of Mel Brooks' History of the World, from Lenny Bruce to George Carlin, from Richard Pryor to Margaret Cho, from The Daily Show to The Chappelle Show.
Is humor an art? Consider style, method, approach. At any rate, similar to certain general questions we might ask of art, what is the connection between humor and society? Can a society be, in a sense, "measured," or analyzed with reference to its (range of, and sense of!) humor? Can humor go too far? And if so, how, why, and/or when would that be the case?
Is humor simultaneously a more potent and "lighter" medium through which to address our culture and its discontents? Or does it provide a convenient kind of escapism to laugh off (literally) our problems as a society?
Seriously funny exploration of said topic will be embarked upon in true interdisciplinary, multi-medium fashion vis-à-vis texts, recordings, film and video, etc.
Michael Szekely (Ph.D., Temple University; Philosophy). Dr. Szekely's primary research and teaching interests are in Cultural and Critical Theory, Aesthetics (especially the philosophy of music), and Contemporary Continental Philosophy, with more particular interests in French poststructuralism (especially Gilles Deleuze and Roland Barthes) and the Frankfurt School (especially Walter Benjamin). He has published articles in such journals as Jazz Perspectives, Social Semiotics, Textual Practice, Rhizomes, Contemporary Aesthetics, Popular Music and Society, and the Oxford Handbook on Music Education Philosophy, and is currently writing a book on Barthes and music. Dr. Szekely is also a practicing musician and composer, with particular interests in collective improvisation and popular music.
MLA 8150: Topics in Gender Studies: Secularism: Jewish and Muslim Women
Laura Levitt
Wednesday, 6-8:30
In its three-hundred-year history as a Western concept, secularism is often defined as the opposite of religion. Religious women have alternately found western secularism to be a source of liberation (as it grants them greater civil rights) and a source of oppression (as it putatively shrinks the religious sphere). In creating feminisms through Jewish and Muslim experience, feminisms that are both secular and religious, these religious women have complicated the meanings of secularism. They have also challenged the notion that feminism is necessarily secular. This course looks at examples of Jewish and Muslim women's lives and feminist thought in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. The course will compare and contrast the feminism of these two groups of religious women, in order to more fully understand the role of concepts like secularism, feminism, and religion.
Dr. Laura S. Levitt is a Professor of Religion, Jewish Studies and Gender at Temple University. She has served as the Director of the Women's Studies Program from 2009-2001 and coordinated the Greater Philadelphia Women's Studies Consortium (GPWSC) from 2006-2010. Levitt was one of the founders of the Jewish Studies Program at Temple and, for many years, served as its director. She received an A.B. ('82) in Religious Studies from Brown University, an M.A. ('86) in Jewish Studies from Hebrew Union College-JIR, and a Ph.D. in Religion and a Women's Studies Certificate ('93) from Emory University.
Levitt is the author ofAmerican Jewish Loss after the Holocaust(2007) andJews and Feminism: the Ambivalent Search for Home(1997). She is co-editor with Miriam Peskowitz ofJudaism since Gender(1997); and with Shelley Hornstein and Laurence Silberstein an editor ofImpossible Images: Contemporary Art after the Holocaust(2003). With Rebecca Alpert she co-edited "Jewish Feminist and Our Fathers," a special issue ofBridges14.1(Spring 2009) and she is the editor of "Changing Focus: Family Photography and American Jewish Identity,"The Scholar & Feminist Online, 1.3 (Winter 2003).
Levitt is currently at work on a new project about Criminal Archives, the materials in police storage rooms and their relationship to issues of justice and collected memories. Herproject, tentatively titledEvidence as Archive, is a highly interdisciplinary work that builds on her prior work in feminist theory and Holocaust studies in order to take more seriously criminal evidence held in police storage as a repository of memory.It uses this evidence to rematerialize the stuff of archives even as it uses the vast body of recent scholarship on archives and memory, to make more visible the power of these otherwise invisible police collections and those who maintain them.

Throughout the ages, art and popular culture have given us the means to examine and investigate the nature of identity and civilization. Today, identity is changing and readjusting to modern life and all that it embraces. In the 1950's, the sociologist Erving Gofmann utilized dramatic performance as a model for identity. In this course, we will also use theater as a means to explore identity. In addition,Facebook and other online venues have raised questions about "true" identities. Are the virtual realities just a new place to try on differing personas? People have struggled with their identities and a great portion of the arts including film, theater, and literature have addressed many questions about the issue. For instance, the film XXY deals with the question of sexual identity. As science progresses, we learn more about permutations and gender becomes a more complex issue. Since Obama's election, many say we live in a post racial society. What does this really mean?
The internet has given us instant communication and an entirely new media. How has this impacted identity? Is it more fluid? Has crowdsourcing and cyberbullying had an effect on how people look at themselves? Or is this just a magnification of an age-old problem?
In the course, we will attempt to look at the differing factors that go into identity and in addition, consider what our new tools have provided.

MLA 8220: Topics in Urban Studies: Philadelphia Neighborhoods: History and Issues
Ken Finkel
Monday, 6-8:30
In this course, students will be introduced to the development of the city of Philadelphia as seen from a neighborhood perspective. From Colonial times to the present, neighborhood and community are the primary means by which the city's residents experienced growth and change in Philadelphia. Using primary and secondary sources as well as the rich legacy of the region's sites, collections and museums, students will develop a deep sense of the city's many neighborhoods.
Kenneth Finkel is Distinguished Lecturer in Temple University's American Studies and Master of Liberal Arts Programs. He has held various positions in Philadelphia's cultural community: Curator of Prints and Photographs at the Library Company of Philadelphia, Program Officer at the William Penn Foundation, and, most recently, Executive Director of Arts & Culture Service at WHYY.Finkel's publications include seven books and catalogues on 19th-century photography, graphics, and architecture with a focus on Philadelphia as a center of innovation. In addition to his first book, Nineteenth-Century Photography in Philadelphia, his other published work includes the early 19th century sketchbooks of Joshua Rowley Watson and the Pennsylvania Railroad photographs of William H. Rau. Finkel revived the almanac in editions of the Philadelphia Almanac and Citizens' Manual for 1994 and 1995. He has also served on the Board of the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts.

Reserved for qualifying paper/thesis research; consult with the MLA Advisor.
MLA 8011 Introduction to Interdisciplinary Studies
This course introduces students to interdisciplinary graduate studies and to cultural analysis by looking at the kinds of questions that can best be answered through an interdisciplinary approach and with various available methodologies. Taking American culture as its primary focus, students read texts in areas such as Visual Culture, American Studies, Women's Studies, and the Arts and Society. Topics include, for example: cultural representations of gender and sexualities, and of race and "whiteness"; the social construction of space and place; technology and its construction of identity; boundaries of culture and consumption (high, low, middlebrow); museums and cultural memory.
MLA 8110 Topics in the Arts and American Culture
This course explores the relationship between the arts and American culture, with an emphasis on how music, literature, and visual arts have reflected social, political, and intellectual concerns. The levels of art, from high to middlebrow to popular, will also be considered, with attention to the cross influences from one to the other, and the question of audience.
MLA 8120 Topics in Cultural Studies
This course examines topics relating to popular culture, media, and advertising, with an emphasis on how cultural representations reflect social and political interests. The approach embraces various competing disciplines (e.g., literature, anthropology, philosophy) at the intersection of aesthetics and politics.
MLA 8130 Topics in Visual Culture
An exploration of photography, film, television, and other visual media, in terms of the ways they interpret the world. Some of the issues considered will be: What are the elements of the visual? How are race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality represented in the media? How do visual media interact with one another?
MLA 8140 Topics in Performance Studies
Performance Studies encompasses dance, theater, and mixed media theatrical presentations, from street theater to happenings to public ritual. The course targets specific topics ranging from historical studies to the contemporary.
MLA 8150 Topics in Gender Studies
The changing constructions of gender are the subject of this course which will explore such topics as representations of masculinity; feminist theory and the academy; the sexual revolution; society and homosexuality.
MLA 8160 Topics in Environmental Studies
This course explores a wide range of environmental issues and the various factors that define those issues, encompassing physical, economic, political, demographic, and ethical considerations. Possible topics include groundwater contamination, suburban sprawl, river basin management, environmental justice, and the greening of abandoned urban spaces. It may also include an examination of the cultural meaning of the environment and its representation in art and literature.
MLA 8171 Intellectual Heritage, MLA
This course may focus on a number of diverse topics depending on the instructor: e.g., the Greek foundations of modern thought; the religious texts that provide an important underpinning for Western Civilization; the Enlightenment commitment to reason, science, and the essential goodness and individuality of man; Romanticism and its emphasis on feelings and the imagination; great thinkers of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty first centuries.
MLA 8180 Ways of Seeing
Our educational system tends to neglect the visual world, despite our growing dependence on pictorial and visual information. Using methods from anthropology, psychology, communications theory, and art history, this course will explore nonverbal communication, the built environment, photography, film, and television as culturally conditioned symbolic systems.
MLA 8190 Modernism
Modernism was not a single movement but a multiplicity of cultural changes involving issues of perception, identity, memory, culture, and the nature of modernity itself. This course explores the terrain of culture and the arts (e.g., film, art, literature, Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism) within the context of historical and technological change.
MLA 8210 Topics in Political Culture
Public policy has often emerged out of a combination of legal struggle, political negotiation, private wealth, and public interest groups. This course focuses on American political culture, including such topics as civil rights, the conservative right vs. the left, government by plutocracy, national health care, the rights of the poor, and the fate of the middle class.
MLA 8220 Topics in Urban Studies
This course explores the way cities have been formed and continue to be formed in relation to parks and neighborhoods, suburbs, and regions. The emphasis is on the way urban culture is shaped through the design of space, architectural form, and through urban planning.
MLA 8230 Topics in International Studies
After World War II, with the independence of formerly colonial nations, a new world of independent nation states evolved, torn between the pressures of ethnic culture, global communications, and international economies. This course explores issues of cultural identity and cultural conflict, as they surface in literature and film, in global tourism, in efforts at global cooperation and global competition.
MLA 8250 Topics in Science, Technology, and Culture
The impact of science and technology on culture has been pervasive and can be measured in terms of social life and habits, the environment, the arts, and politics. Emphasizing the last hundred years, this course examines some of the more significant changes in science and technology, from the automobile to computers, and explores the ways the individual and society have been redefined.
MLA 9082 Independent Study
Students who wish to enroll for Independent Study must submit a proposal written under the direction of a faculty member who will supervise the student's work. This proposal must be submitted the semester before the Independent Study is to take place. The proposal should describe the project, indicate a) works to be read, b) frequency of student-instructor meetings, c) student writing to be produced, and d) means of student evaluation.

Reserved for qualifying paper research; consult with the MLA Advisor.
"The greatest value of the MLA program is the opportunity it grants you to explore. The core curriculum will provide a soft introduction to the rigors of graduate study, allow you time and space to try on different methodological clothing, and ultimately allow you to discuss complex material in a way only the classroom setting can provide. This investment in intellectual diversity is an asset..."
Patrick Grossi, former MLA student (current Ph.D. candidate in History)

On the road
You may ask why this is titled Last Vacation. Because this is our last vacation since I am retiring at the end of the year,,,,any more trips will be journeys not vacations. I hope our beginning is not an indication of how our trip will go. We didn't make it out if our road when the low level buzzer went off. This is a buzzer you can't ignore without it driving you crazy!! We pulled over on the causeway and put fluid in the jack reservoir ...
Day 7- St Simon iSland
It was a good 2 day break in Jacksonville Fl. It was heavy rains the two days so stayed indoors mostly. On Saturday our initial plan was to head south towards daytona but the weather man said it was heavy rains in the south. So we planned some site seeing up north hence went towards St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island in Georgia. Well, since i wasn't able to cross thru Georgia this was the opportunity.
These Island were part of ...
What?! It's time to start the trip already?
... I leave my little island paradise for points beyond. I wont see this driveway for at least 40 days. Lunch at Peppers Mexican restaurant (Cause nothing says long motorcycle ride like Mexican food) with my Mom and Dad, step son and the executive pastor of my Mom and Dads church, Mark Barnes. He is rode to the South Carolina line with me as a send off. Enjoyed the time. We rode I95 up to Brunswick then 17N for a change of scenery. Nice country road. We pulled in for gas in who ...
Cumberland Island
... good for them to snack on. However, a horse wandered into the site late in the middle of the night and hung around for a while. He pushed his way through the brush smelling around for some food. That was pretty nuts.
In the morning we woke up early for a swim in the ocean and another freezing shower. We boarded the ferry back to Georgia and are currently driving to St. George Island in Florida.
Georgia On My Mind
... days ago, we left Hidden Harbor, and traveled about five miles downstream to Morningstar Marina at Golden Isles, just across a bridge from St. Simon's Island. We are meeting friends from Grafton Harbor, Rhonda and Dave Lang, who arrive tomorrow. The Langs keep their boat, Cat's Meow, docked at Morningstar nowadays and we look forward to spending some time with them.
Our next stop will be Savannah, and then we will be cruising ...

March 12, 2014 - My cat likes to sit on the toilet while I'm in the shower, so I bought this to keep his little butt warm. He likes it and it looks like it will last a long time.
February 28, 2014 - I love this set. It is sooooooo cute!
January 6, 2014 - Very Cute and decorative! My Grandkids loved it. Not as white as pic, kinda an off white, but still cute!
January 5, 2014 - I actually bought this to put in the bottom of my foster dog's kennel. It fits great and he doesn't try to 'dig' it up like the blankets I used to put in the kennel.
November 8, 2013 - I do love this rug but it isn't as light as the picture... wish it was truly white, not off-white. Will enjoy it, though... bought the non-slip paws and kitchen towels to use together.

Monkey with a Halo:
Luis Jimenez,

TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels
Poor, poor Luis Jimenez, in any other organization he would likely be battling for a starting spot during Spring Training. In fact, in most other organizations, Jimenez would have already won the Opening Day 3B job, if not the job as a backup. His impressive .314 BA/.395 OBP/.429 SLG% is deserving of a spot on the regular season roster, but that just won't happen for Luis Jimenez with the Angels.
The 25-year old 3B prospect has never really gotten the chance to break through with the Angels and it looks like he'll never get the chance with Alberto Callaspo signed for the next two years until Kaleb Cowart is ready to take over the job. It's not that Jimenez is some slouch prospect however, he has shown impressive power in the minors.
The last two years Jimenez has tallied over 35 doubles and 15 homeruns per season which would theoretically give the Angels the power they've been craving from the hot corner. His ability to make consistent contact as a "free...

Recent reviews:
November 7, 2012 - Even more beautiful than expected. Sari cloth fully covers a sturdy, flexible fabric. The zippered interior pocket is deep. The 21" handle hangs from shoulder to bottom of my ribcage (I'm 5'5) + also works for holding by hand. Bcs of the sturdy base-fabric of the bag, the clasp really works rather than pulls. Fits my keys, large wallet, phone, notebook, but isn't overly large so I can still get to them.
September 30, 2012 - Purchased this bag hoping that I could use it for my son's wedding. It was perfect! Lovely royal blue color with just the right amount of "sparkle". Love it!! Thanks!
August 11, 2012 - This is a beautiful bag. The antique sari material is elegant and the craftsmanship is excellent. I would recommend this to all my friends.
