I'm almost 12 years old, I do believe in god but I'm just not sure like if I believe in all of the stories in the bible I am Lutheran and my mother is very religious so I'm afraid how she would react to the whole Wicca thing.... I'm nervous about it I'm not sure what to do. Any help????
Judged: 2 2 1 Have you read over the whole thread yet? This is discussed at length, here. In short, there is no rush to abandon your family religion and join another. You can think about and study on these things while you decide. For some people this kind of soul searching can take years, especially if you are young and have a controlling family or church (not all of them are, some church libraries may even have stuff on other religions or spiritual practices). You don't have to stop going to church to appreciate Nature or practice meditation. You don't need to declare yourself Wiccan and have all sorts fancy ritual stuff to do ceremonies to honor the Moon or the changing of seasons. But do read over this as there is all sorts of advice and links on here- ignore the trolling. |

Judged: 2 2 2 If you have issues with the sex-positive nature of Wicca, you might want to get yourself a time machine, because the rest of the world is headed that way, too. Women dressing scantily are not 'asking for it'; it is the rapist fault for raping, not the fault of the victim for whatever assinine excuses the apologists come up with; sex outside marriage is OK; it's OK to have boundaries and expect them to be respected; consent is a must; self-pleasure is OK and healthy in moderation; sex with a partner is healthy; BDSM, kink, and fetish are fine- have boundaries and a clear understanding first; ANDDDD- woman can and should have orgasms, even if it means using something besides straight intercourse to achieve them! |

Judged: 2 1 1 These are the sexual principals that are encouraged and upheld in Pagan religions including Wicca. Yet you keep saying that is 'perverse' and alluding that Pagans deserve/attract criminals because of these sex-positive principals. So if it is not the principals that bother you, than it's the fact that people who already are having sex anyway may do so ritually?(and yes, privately) |

Judged: 4 2 2 Your reply is economical with the truth.Let me make it easier for you,do Gardnerian Wiccan covens and Alexandrian Wiccan covens exist?the answer to that is yes,there does that help?Now can you answer this,do Gardenerian wicca coven initiations and Alexandrian wiccan coven initiations involve bondage,domination,sado- masochism including whipping and sexual intercourse?Do these initiations take place in front of other naked coven members?at what age can these initiations take place?You keep avoiding the question,answer please????A neophyte may or may not be having sex already as you say,indeed a neophyte initiate may even be a virgin.What did you mean in your previous post"ANDDD women can and should have orgasms even if it means using something besides straight intercourse to achieve them"explain please? |

Judged: 1 1 1 Just because a document claiming to be a Gard BOS is on the 'Net doesnt mean squat. It's not published by him; the one on sacrad-tests.com is a document someone claimed to have received second hand. If they or someone else made changes to it, it is unknown and undocumented. Every Wiccan and coven and tradition has its own BOS- which means a Gard will have a book that includes material from the line of Gardnerians they came from, plus coven additions, plus their own. There are several variations even within the Gard trad due to his own work in editing and adding to his BOS before his death, not to mention additions from folks like Ray Buckland and Doreen Valiente. If you had done any nth of the amount of study and research you claim to have done, you would know all this already. In fact your whole post smacks of Dan Brown fiction. The jesus fertility cult thingy in his book is not Wicca. What I do know is that sex is not used as an initiation in any tradition and regardless, minors are not initiated. An edited youtube video is not evidence of anything. There is one titled something like rare footage of Wiccan in forest and its just some white kid stacking wood backwards or something. Meaningless, or abstract perhaps, but not factual evidence of anything. Unless you believe everything on there, then I guess you have to believe that the US Gov is hiding secret detention camps and that Bigfoot exists. Also, since when did youtube allow footage of sex occurring? IT doesnt and thats why youve never seen it happening in any video there. Furthermore the footage is no more a real initiation than reading a recipe backwards is a real Wiccan ritual (another well-known stunt that Alex Sanders pulled for the sake of camera footage.) Even though both the sources you cite as your evidence are unsubstantiated, neither of them include sex as an initiation, or at all. Furthermore, once again for the four hundtreth time, just because an ALREADY INVOLVED couple decide to have sex ritually and make it something special for them and their jointly held spiritual beliefs does not mean the ritual is not private, impelled upon another person outside an already existing relationship, or used as an initiation. It is not. Again, we are not part of a fictional novel. Once again, it would just be two people who are already having sex with each other simply making it more ceremonial when they do. Some covens practice skyclad and some dont. It has nothing to do with sex if they do or do not. The fact that you think that simply being unclothed is naughty and perverse is your own issue. Any that do, do not include anyone underage at all, or during those times. Some covens include a scourge, some do not. Whether they do or not has nothing to do with sex or BDSM or pain or injury. It is used to stimulate the blood vessels and skin- no different (once again) then the spa practices of the Russian Banyans which includes a birch switch to do essentially the same thing. If you think skin exfoliation applications at your local spa are scary and painful, then yeah, this optional Wiccan practice should be avoided. Really, demonizing the scourge is the silliest of tactics, not to mention the absurd idea that people into BDSM would join a religion they dont believe in for the hope of the rare occurance of a ritual practice that will not meet their expectations in the least. |

As for your last question, I can only imagine that you randomly stuck that in there in hopes of confusing any other readers that it has to with these imaginary Dan Brown initiations of yours. It was simply referring to modern sex between modern people, nothing specific to Wicca, only to point out that the sex-positive principals upheld by most Pagans are in accordance with this as well as respecting boundaries and consent. If you dont know what the clitoris is, you are on your own. I dunno, maybe watch the South Park movie.

This movie is the worst!!!! Please don't waste your money to go see this horrible movie. You will be very upset that you wasted a hour and 35 minutes that you could have been doing something else to with. Ok Ok so I will help you save time...he and his son die at the end of the movie and who kills them the woman in black. You guys can thank me later I just help you save time and money.
The movie Safe House was AWESOME in all caps. You will literally be on the edge of your seat the entire time. Just like an action movie it starts slow but isn't slow for long. I think that Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds make a good team. I really won't mind going to see this movie second, third and fourth time everyone should go see this movie. I know I rarely blink that much because I didn't want to miss anything. If you loved Training Day you will really love Safe House. This movie will definitely be a new addition to my DVD collection whenever it is released.

12 months in rehab does not seem equal to breaking the neck of your 3-yr old son. Of course she's sorry & open to receiving treatment: She doesn't want to go to prison. Injuring your child in this situation is the same as being physically abusive.
And the boy lives with his father? In & out of jail, crackhead... That's not any better for him.
This is a sad situation for the Mason. Harsher consequences to individuals like these parents seems more than appropriate.

"..Michael Carty repeatedly mentioned Susman had changed for the better since the accident and asked the court to be lenient in its sentence."
This made me laugh. Is Carty trying to say that because she killed someone she is a better person?
Any individual - and you should know who you are -can be physically wired for blackouts. They can keep ,drinking when most people would pass out. Instead they have to wonder what actually happened as they kept functioning during the blackout. Anytime you can't remember you can be a lethal weapon. Blood-alcohol levels have a set legal limit but that doesn't mean certain individuals can't be under the limit and still dead drunk.

Great article, Brandon, well-written. My book about SBBT will be titled "What the Bank Really Does with Your Money." Chapters to be included: " Let's Do the Arithmetic," "Behind the Scenes," "Who Did What???, "The Keepers of the Truth, "Shielding Sr Management & the Board," "WIIfm - What's in it for Me." I'll have to keep thinking of others. The Bank was good to me in many ways but it's hard to overlook the bottom line: we got screwed. And the bottom line is the almighty driver of the company...
Posted on March 18 at 10:49 a.m.
"...when SBBT charged me $3.00 for the "service.," the same bank that a few days ago charged nothing for the same transaction. "
Did they tell you that they were going to start charging you? I'm sure they did as it is a violation if they didn't.
Posted on March 16 at 8:57 a.m.
"...it was all smiles at the headquarters of SBB&T..." - that's because the guys at headquarters made all the money & lifelong employees have no retirement money to fall back on.
"...the mood was more akin to shock..." - communications, as usual, lacked decent courtesy.
"...the transition will be seamless for account holders." - I have personally experienced so many conversions that I know they always use the word 'seamless' & it NEVER is.
"...layoffs should be expected. " - duh!! Combine this with the previous layoffs & the ones they didn't count & this is real community spirit. :(
"...stunned at both the speed at which he found a buyer and the price he garnered. " - this was a well thought-out move. Union Bank has been contemplated by SBBT for many years because they are the only large bank who needs a foothold in the central coast.
"...strong commitment to the community..." - this commitment has fallen off over the years with SBBT. Remember, it's not just SBBT - it's PCB.
Brandon - sorry I didn't connect with you yesterday.

1. Mr Ford put his $$$ here because that's what he does, that's his business. This was one of his best deals - triple return in a very short time.
2. The shareholders, not the Bank, voted for this sale. On the other hand, Mr Ford already owned 51% of the stock.
3. This is what usually happens: customer-facing employees will keep their jobs so the customers will feel good. The back office employees will be let go as Union centralizes these operations that are already in place within their company.
4. It still sucks. The 100-1 reverse stock split left most of us holding a lot of nothing. If you have any shares left, sell them now while the stock is at $45/share & get out.

KOACHHumorA Grandmother's Plea
A Jewish lady's grandson is playing in the water while she is standing on the beach not wanting to get her feet wet when all of a sudden a huge wave appears from nowhere and crashes directly over the spot where the boy is wading. The water recedes and the boy is no longer there. He simply vanished. She holds her hands to the sky, screams and cries, "Lord, how could you? Have I not been a wonderful grandmother? Have I not been a wonderful mother? Have I not given to Bnai Brith? Have I not given to Hadassah? Have I not lit candles every Friday night at sunset? Have I not tried my very best to live a life that you would be proud of?" A loud voice booms from the sky, "OKAY, OKAY!" A few minutes later another huge wave appears out of nowhere and crashes on the beach. As the water recedes, the boy is standing there, smiling, splashing around as if nothing had ever happened. The loud voice booms again "I HAVE RETURNED YOUR GRANDSON. ARE YOU SATISFIED NOW? She responds, "He had a hat." [Posted 5/6/05] |

Competition for educated workers is particularly tough in these four cities, according to a new Brookings report.
Looking to hire a college-educated worker? If you're in the country's biggest tech hub, you'll have a lot more competition.
San Jose, California, has the highest demand for college graduates, with 56% of the city's employment advertisements calling for candidates with a bachelor's degree or higher, according to new research from The Brookings Institution.
Following San Jose were San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Bridgeport, Connecticut--each with 49% percent of job openings seeking bachelor's degrees or higher. Brookings researcher Jonathan Rothwell based his research on online job postings between January 2006 to February 2012, looking at occupations and level of education required.
Not surprisingly, computer operations held the most job opportunities in both San Francisco and San Jose, according to the report. In January and February of this year, San Francisco had 41,822 openings, and 32,699 computer operations openings
"You have the big electronic companies out there," explained Rothwell. "And they tend to employ workers with software skills, with engineering training, and math and physics-type of training."
Beyond tech, other high-demand fields included health care, engineering, business operations, finance, and media.

personally i'd ditch the girl...you'll have way more fun. but if you must make sure you take her on the gondolas in the venetian chicks love that stuff and they even sing for ya, im sure you'll get laid off this one.Originally Posted by DieTrying
Normally I would say gamble and bang hot hookers. But you're going with your girlfriend. So gamble and bang your girlfriend.
Seriously, there is a lot to do in Vegas between the casinos, all the shows, the good food, cirque du soleil, and everything else. There's no way you can do everything in one trip. I hope you two have a really good time.
Can you imagine living in Vegas on a bulking cycle with those cheap buffets?
Oh, and a side trip to the Grand Canyon is always a good idea too.
Yeah, they have Helo tours of the Canyon. Never been on one, but I heard they're pretty nice. I've been there about 4 times. Got hella drunk all but once (with parents). If you don't drink while your in Vegas it's just not as fun. FYI, for you single guys. They have several swingers joints in Vegas and the surrounding cities. Pay a small fee to get in and your gauranteed some ass. I went to a place called the Red Rooster in Henderson and banged some guys wife and had a threesome with a couple of fat chicks (don't ask, I was really, really drunk and don't remember much of what happened). The space needle has a ride at the top (forgot what it's called), but it shoots you a couple of hundred feet up in a matter of seconds. It's really beautiful at night because you can see the entire Vegas skyline. I didn't gamble because I was spending my money on booze and food. I remember Ceasars Palace had an awesome seafood bar, complete with Lobster and Alaskan King Crab. There's alot more I can't remember because I was drinking 75% of the time. Good times and I'm looking forward to going back again one of these days.Originally Posted by jrkarp
Helo? Are you ex Navy or Marines? They're the only ones I know that call them helos. Army and Air Force call them choppers, and I've never heard a civilian call them a helo. I used to argue with the squids about that.Originally Posted by natedogg
A threesome with fat chicks is nothing to be ashamed of as long as they weren't too big. There were 2 vaginas and only your penis. Even if they were fat that's further than most of us will ever get.
Ex Marine. I was stationed down in 29 Palms, CA so I had unlimited access to Vegas (about 2 to 3 hours away). They were pretty husky bro. The funny thing is, is that I met my now wife the following weekend.Originally Posted by jrkarp

Yup, I'm looking forward to it. I'm staying at the Bellagio and a good friend of mine is getting married out there, so we will at least have one night just with the guys. I'm not much of a gambler, but I'm sure I'll hit up some poker. I'll mostly be hitting up the booze.Originally Posted by natedogg
Go to the Hard Rock and hang out by the pools. This w/e will be rocking. Planning a trip for the end of June.
Thanks for all the help fellas! I really want to go to a show or two. I may drink a bit, but I'm really looking forward to the buffets!
I am leaving for Vegas on Monday! Unfortunately I only have two nights there as it is actually a stop over to Los Angeles.
I plan to see the venetian for sure among other things. I don't think I'll be sleeping at all!
If you gamble the booze is free!!Originally Posted by natedogg
Also take your woman to Spearmint Rhino It's better than cheetah's.
I'll be there in exactly 3 weeks! Staying at the Luxor with the girl.

COLUMBUS — The U.S. Department of Agriculture Ohio Farm Service Agency is reminding producers that enrollment for the 2013 Direct and Counter-cyclical program and the Average Crop Revenue Election program began Feb. 12, according to a press release from Ohio FSA.
New contracts are required annually for each of these programs and all signatures must be obtained by the deadline, Ohio FSA Executive Director Steve Maurer said in the release. FSA encourages producers to call their local county offices and set up appointments to begin the enrollment process as soon as possible.
The DCP sign-up period ends Aug. 2, while the ACRE sign-up period ends June 3.
The only program change from 2012 to 2013 is that all eligible participants in 2013 may choose to enroll in either DCP or ACRE for the 2013 crop year, the release said. Eligible producers who were enrolled in ACRE in 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013 or may re-enroll in ACRE in 2013 and vice versa.
For more information on the DCP or ACRE programs or to schedule an appointment, call the Wyandot County FSA office at 419-294-2127 or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/dcp.

It is not a new patent. It is 2 years old.
Caffeine did not alter results. It was strictly a process speed change.
I think that certain changes would trigger a use of the results scrambler.
Title changes, heading mods, or anything on a spam list might trigger the patent, while copy changes etc would not, as they are part of "business as usual".
One thing this patent will do is to teach us to get it right the first time as it is only changes that trigger. Nothing was said about new pages.
"Do links put on Twitter and/or LinkedIn and/or Facebook and/or Google+ effect change that can be seen tomorrow?"
Not in my results.
I spent a few months placing and documenting the effects of link building and saw no effect after 70 links were done.
However retweets and G+1 votes DO influence results, but usually only for a short period. (9 or 10 days). Then the listing drops back to it's original position.
Like sevencubed I believe that the majority of SEO should be done on page.
Google has been telling us for years that they want organic links.
They have been telling us that links no longer count for SERPs.
They have told us repeatedly that links for SEO are black hat.
Now they nail the folks that did not pay attention, they hit the thin/ad heavy/over optimized sites and they turn off the predictive factor of anchor text, because it can be gamed.
Once all this is in we find out that there is, or could be, a process to scramble results for obvious SEO efforts.
A few years back too many changes to a title in a short period of time saw the site sandboxed.
Get it right the first time.

Discussion Forum
The grandmother can't be writing about the powdered orange drink Tang in 1947 because it wasn't created until about 1957 and not made available commercially until a couple of years later (1959) and made famous by John Glenn in 1963. (General Foods Corporation food scientist William A. Mitchell).
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a cheap cut of meat (adding sugar to improve the taste) ala "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Hi Guys,
I guess I am the only "wordie" who is also a diver. Tang is a member of the family Acanthuridae. It is also known as Surgeonfish. It is a Kosher fish and gets listed with its cousins…Surgeonfishes (Family Acanthuridae). Including: Surgeonfishes and tangs (Acanthurus species, Zebrasoma species); Doctorfish (Acanthurus chirugus); Unicornfishes or kalas (Naso species). Although nowadays, you are more likely to see them on a dive trip or in an aquarium than in the market, they aren't exactly rare. They are common in South America, the Caribbean and Hawaii. It's an easy stretch to imagine you might catch them in the Gulf of Mexico, at least before big oil. I believe it is safe to assume that in your grandmother's day it was more common as a meal than it is today.
Regards to all,
You may well be the only one of us who is a diver, but I did remember that tang is a fish. I suggested this possibility in the main episode thread, but I was never able to confirm if the people in question were in a local area that might have access to tang.
I think we should agree that we are right, unless proven otherwise.
Glenn, that's the inverse of how it should work, really. In this business, you have to prove your guesses in order for them to be accepted. They're not automatically accepted until disproven.
"Tang" as a fish is pure guesswork. To prove it you need to show that it appeared in cookbooks, and/or that there was commercial trade in it (does it appear in grocery store fliers?), and/or that it was a target fish for commercial fisherman (does it show up in fish price tables?). In my digging, I found no evidence to suggest that tang was ever eaten on a regular basis by anyone, anywhere, even though it is indeed occasionally mentioned as edible.
In other words, in figuring out language and word histories, it's not that the simplest explanation is most likely right. It's that the simplest explanation is most likely also wrong. Orig. unk. is the default until overwhelming evidence shows otherwise.
Hey Grant! Glad to hear from you.
I should be careful about kidding. I do mention above that it was a suggested possibility, and I was not able to confirm. Although, to your point of showing it in use as such, I did find and provide clear evidence of its being eaten and served in Hawaii under the Hawaiian name (see my link to the main thread above), it was a much easier search than the English tang, since tang is used with so many other, more frequent meanings in English. Maybe I will take the time to swim through all the entries to find something other than Tang Pie (made with the orange powder), tangy fish sauce, and various Asian recipes!
There are fairly recent discussions and newspaper articles that discuss the dangers of eating tang (by its Hawaiian name). So clearly, it is still being eaten in areas where it can be obtained, even if it is not currently commercially available.
Discussion among spearfishers
Honolulu article on fish poisoning
And tang (as tang) it is listed as a Kosher fish here, presumably for the purposes of eating!
Kosher tang
And a reef-tank enthusiast in London who has a pet tang and reports that his fishmonger sells tang (as tang):
Fishmonger sells tang
And, finally, just for the enormity of it, an MTV brainless gen-whatever cooks and eats a tang found dead in an aquarium:
MTV video cooking tang from aquarium
I love to cook and the "tang" question from Mississippi intrigues me. I thought that perhaps "tang" was a shortcut or abbreviation in the lady's calendar for the entree of the day. Maybe the day of the week on which it was prepared yields a clue.
If on Friday, "tang" could be "tuna and noodle goulash" as lots of people used to have fish on Friday. It could be "tuna and noodle goulash" on any weeknight, really. If on Monday, it could be "turkey and noodle goulash" – with the thought they had a big roast turkey for Sunday dinner and she was using the leftovers on Monday.
Off topic- An instance of grammar totally helpless to pin down exact meaning: Take Grant's statement above:
They're not automatically accepted until disproven
It will be completely misunderstood if you limit the scope of "not" so as to leave out "until disproven"
And, scoping "not" that way, you can even negate the last word and still end up with a statement that closely approximates the original:
They're not automatically accepted until proven
family used Tang for as long as I can remember for the orange favored drink. Can't argue with 1957 start date for official use, other than it seems my grandmother often talked about somethng being tangy? apparenty came into use many decades ago with Chinese of something with a sharp taste, and with mechanics for a piece of metal associated with gears.

Comments about SmartWool PhD Run Shorts - Men's:
I just took these out for an 8 mile jog and I'm pretty sure they're going to be my new favorite. The shorts are light and comfortable, but I really appreciated that the liner had no seams in the crotch. These seeme d to balance support and freedom well for my 'good's. I'm 6 ft, 190-200lbs depending on time of year, wear mostly 34's and some 33's in blue jeans, I sometimes find myself between large and mediums, the large fit me well. There is a back zippered pocket centered in the rear below the waist. It's large enough for an iphone sideways, so gel packets and keys should be fine.
Cons: The biggest one was the price tag, I had a gift certificate to burn and decided to pick these up on sale. Not sure they'd be worth full price. The other odd thing is that they come with an elastic draw string. The shorts have an elastic waist band (which I found comfortable), and like many other shorts also have a drawstring to help defray the effects of gravity. The drawstring on these are pretty much worthless since its very elastic as well. I found it to be pretty much non-functional and worthless.
Overall, I'm enjoying the shorts. I'm hopeful that they will be durable like many other smartwool products, but simply can't speak to that at this point.

Record wet January; more cold, snow on Saturday
First, a few climatic notes, as we've put January in the books with a very dramatic week of weather.
* It was the wettest January on record at Blacksburg with 7.74 inches of rain, topping the 7.41-inch mark of the extreme El Nino-soaked January in 1998. Blacksburg's records date to 1952.
* It was the fifth wettest January on record at Roanoke with 7.21 inches. January 2013 joins the Januarys of 1998, 1936, 1937 and 1995 as the only ones to top 7 inches of rain. Roanoke's records date to 1912.
* It was also Blacksburg's eighth warmest January, averaging 35.9 degrees, dating to 1952. January 2013 was 0.3 degree warmer, on average, than that of last winter.
* January was not in the top 10 warmest for Roanoke, dating to 1912, though it was 5.1 degrees above normal at 41.7 degrees. December and January, together, have averaged 43.2 degrees, which is exactly where last winter ended up, finishing as second warmest on record. If February is a few degrees warmer than normal, this winter will incredibly have a shot to edge out the last one for second warmest. 1931-32′s 46.5-degree average for winter appears to be safe as the warmest winter.
Tonight will not help February toward a warm average. In fact, Saturday may be the coldest morning we've seen this winter, or even a couple of winters, as clear skies, diminishing winds and low dew points may allow radiational cooling to set in, especially anywhere that retained snow cover from this morning's quick-hitting Alberta clipper. Lows in the single digits may occur west of Roanoke, and the 10-15 range looks reasonable for Roanoke and east. Roanoke's lowest temperature of the season so far has been 17, so it won't take much to beat that (and yes, that means I did miss on my prediction a few weeks ago that Roanoke would hit both 70 and 10 in January, as we hit 70 three times but never even close to as low as 10. Would feel a little redeemed if we got close to 10 on Feb. 2.) I say MAY because the hard-to-predict factor is how much cloud cover moves in before dawn ahead of the next Alberta clipper storm system. If the clouds move in early, radiational cooling will be hindered or halted altogether, and temperatures could even nudge upward a few degrees (many commenters have noted this has happened on several nights recently, for one reason or another.)
Alberta clipper No. 2 dives southeast in our general direction late Saturday afternoon into the evening. Many indications are that this one will be a little bit stronger and more moist than the one that brushed us Friday morning with a dusting to 2 inches, but it too will be hitting the same dry air/downslope wall as it crests the spine of the Appalachians. Snowfall amounts will drop off rapidly from west to east across our region, with 2-4 inches possible in the counties close to the West Virginia border and west of I-77, 1-2 inches in much of the New River Valley, and an inch or less for the Roanoke Valley and points eastward, eventually dying out into just flurries in the Piedmont and Southside. It is always possible with a clipper that a narrow band of heavier snow will develop eastward that could boost totals locally — snow can be impressively heavy for a while if you happen to be in one of these bands. Upslope northwesterly flow behind the clipper will keep the snow going well into Sunday in West Virginia's mountains, bleeding into western Virginia at times. It appears we will be on track for the third in the trilogy of clippers by late Monday or early Tuesday.

Imports and exports at the Port of Vancouver stayed mostly flat in the first quarter of 2010, in line with the port's performance through 2009. The port handled 1.31 million tons of cargo in the first three months of 2010, up about 1 percent from 1.29 million tons a year earlier, according to the port's monthly commodities report released Thursday. The first three months was roughly equal to one quarter of the total tonnage of 4.84 million that the port saw in 2009.

Earl Griffis had spent his entire 17-year career at one company, doing heavy industrial work on railroad cars with TTX Co. in Washington and California. That was until February of 2009, when he became one of 200 workers laid off from the Chicago-based company's plant in Mira Loma, Calif. His life went from "complete security to complete insecurity" within a few short months, Griffis said. After exhausting all of his contacts in the railroad industry near Los Angeles, Griffis expanded his job search to the entire West Coast and began applying for jobs outside of his industry. Six months later, he responded to an Internet job posting for a materials manager in the wind energy industry, landed the job at Iberdrola Renewables in Portland and moved his family to Camas.

Money doesn't flow as freely in Clark County as it once did, with unemployment above 14 percent, flat salaries, rising health care costs and depressed real estate values. It may come as a surprise, then, that one of the county's fastest growing occupations is financial planning, an industry that sells advice on how to best spend or save cash. Though the industry remains small, the number of financial planning companies in Clark County has almost quadrupled in the past 10 years, according to the Washington Employment Security Department. And the pace of the sector's growth has accelerated with the global recession, rising from 12 firms in 2000 to 33 in 2008 and 42 by September 2009.

Hewlett-Packard Co.'s future in Vancouver may be uncertain, but the high-tech company's presence here will undoubtedly have a lasting effect on the local economy.

Getting green will put more green in the wallets of 47,000 workers in four Western states over the next 20 years, according to a plan approved by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council. The council said up to 3,500 direct jobs will be created in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana in the next two decades as energy management companies and utilities hire technicians to meet demand for energy efficiency services. The council predicted that another 43,500 jobs will be created indirectly over that period as businesses take advantage of energy cost savings to boost their payrolls.

The Port of Vancouver Commission was divided Tuesday after a heated debate over who it should hire to mow, weed and treat the port's lawn. The port would save roughly $15,000 per year on landscaping services by renewing its contract with Clark County Corrections in a deal that's only available to public agencies and a handful of nonprofit organizations. The port, a semi-public agency, has used the county's community service crews to clean and maintain its property since last May, adding $450 per week to the county coffers. That contract, worth $25,000 per year to the county, ended in December.

From here we went into the 4 temperature pools, working from 39 degrees down to 15 degrees, with 15 minutes in the first one and only 1 minute in the last. We managed the one minute but most didn't get more ...

Tags: fiber preparation llamas fatty liver disease alpaca fiber washing feeding camelids
Listen to INTERVIEW with Dr. M. Jones from Kansas State University Veterinary Hospital (well known camelid center). There are a lot of misconceptions about nutrition, fatty liver disease and fleece quality in camelids. After much peer reviewed scientific paper research and discussion with experts such as Dr. Jones, we will try and break down this information in a concise way. If you know anyone with type 2 diabetes, this information is relevant because alpacas and llamas have naturally high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance similar to humans with Type 2 diabetes.
This will expand your knowledge and unlearn what you thought you knew!

North Korea nuclear test prompts stern warnings from neighbors
If China is so afraid of little North Korea, the rest of the world has no reason to be afraid of China.
As KGB defector Major Anatoliy Golitsyn advised the Central Intelligence Agency in 1989, when such North Korean "provocations" should pop up in the future:
"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet 'convergence' strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied." – KGB Defector Major Anatoliy Golitsyn, The Perestroika Deception, March 1989, p. 46.
This 1989 memorandum to the Central Intelligence Agency remains current, since the "collapse" of the USSR in 1991 was a strategic ruse, as will the equally fraudulent collapse of the Chinese Communist government by the end of the decade.

Explosively perfumed nose, with intense iodine and smoke notes accenting ripe orange and pear aromas. Remarkably concentrated citrus and mineral flavors are deepened by sweet butter, smoked meat and an exotic cherry pit note.

When planning a public dialogue, you need to analyze the core sources and degree of actual or potential conflict. There are 5 core sources of disputes: these are differences in Values, Information, Interests, or understanding of Relationship, and flaws in Structure (or systems). The more of these elements that are present in any given dispute, the more difficult that dispute is to resolve. If you happen to be in a dispute that is rooted in the rules or processes of a given situation, for example, it will not be solved by providing more data or information. The failure to think about those structures could mean all your efforts to build consensus within that system are doomed to fail. Conversely, if a dispute is rooted in one area, like different interests, yet there are strengths in another area such as strong relationships, you may be able to build a foundation for successful dialogue by focusing first on the common area. Thus in analyzing each of the five areas (Values, Information, Interests, Relationships, and Structure) for planning purposes, you are looking for both strengths and weaknesses. We can help. For more information see http://www.buildingdialogue.com.
