Graded exercise therapy (GET) is a treatment that's commonly recommended for chronic fatigue syndrome. GET is a guided physical activity that starts at a very low intensity, and gradually increases. The aim of GET for chronic fatigue syndrome is to improve stamina without causing the symptom flare often associated with exertion in this illness (called post-exertional malaise).
GET is often maligned by chronic fatigue syndrome patient groups. The controversy stems mainly from the use of GET as a primary treatment rather than as secondary to more traditional treatments, such as medications or nutritional supplements.
GET is often combined with cognitive behavioral therapy.

Mandela's legacy of hope
By WARREN GOLDSTEIN
Twenty-seven years in jail enduring this kind of suffering, and to come out of that and be prepared to forgive.
As Jews, when we try to shed light on anything, we look in our Torah.
Amazingly enough, Nelson Mandela passed on the eve of the Shabbat Jews around the world read the portion of Vayigash, which, concluding with Vayechi this week, tells the story of Joseph. The parallels between the lives of Joseph and Mandela are extraordinary.
Joseph's brothers turn on him and they throw him in a pit, whereupon he is sold into slavery and cast into exile, before ending up in jail. And then through the blessings of G-d he finds his way out of jail and becomes the prime minister of the superpower of the time – Egypt.
Many years later, when he once again confronts his brothers, he has a choice.
Does he let the feelings of bitterness, anger and resentment over the way he was treated – exacerbated by his many years in incarceration – overcome him? Just as his brothers, whom he loved, turned on him, does he now turn on them and, from a position of heightened power and authority, exact vengeance and judgment? We know that Joseph – described by our Sages as Yosef Hatzaddik, Joseph the Righteous – chose the path of reconciliation. He forgave his brothers. He realized that exacting vengeance would tear the family apart. And so he set aside his own feelings and was prepared to look past all of his suffering – 22 years away from his family; 22 years of loneliness and estrangement; 22 years – many of which were spent imprisoned and confined, and filled with hardship and affliction. He was able to transcend all this suffering.
In many ways, Nelson Mandela is the Joseph of our times. White South Africans – his fellow countrymen, people whom he ultimately regarded as his brothers and sisters – turned on him. He was thrown in jail, where he stayed for 27 years. Yet somehow, he emerged with the saintly grace to put all of that behind him so that the diverse family of South Africa would not be torn apart. And, like Joseph of the Bible rebuilt his family, President Mandela rebuilt his country.
We often speak glibly of his 27 years in jail, but do we have an inkling of what this means? Since Mandela's passing, I've been rereading his famous autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, (which I think should be required reading for all), and have been struck anew at what he went through. Mandela writes about a demeaning prison restriction on reading newspapers, and what happened when he once transgressed it: When I noticed the newspaper lying on the bench, I quickly left my cell, walked to the end of the corridor, looked in both directions and then plucked it off the bench and slipped it into my shirt. Normally, I would have hidden the newspaper somewhere in my cell and taken it out only after bedtime. But like a child who eats his pudding before the main course, I was so eager for news that I opened the paper in my cell immediately.
I don't know how long I was reading; I was so engrossed in the paper that I did not hear any footsteps. Suddenly an officer and two other warders appeared, and I did not even have time to slide the paper under my bed. I was caught black-and-whitehanded, so to speak. 'Mandela,' the officer said. 'We are charging you for possession of contraband, and you will pay for this.' The two warders then began a thorough search of my cell to see if they would turn up anything else.
Listen to what happens afterwards. He continues: Within a day or two a magistrate was brought in from Cape Town and I was taken to the room at headquarters that was used as the island's court. In this instance, the authorities were willing to call in an outside magistrate because they knew they had an open-and-shut case. I offered no defense, and was sentenced to three days in isolation and deprivation of meals.
For reading a newspaper.
And then in a more serious sense is the agony of the separation from family. He writes about the first time that he saw his daughter Zindzi, after being incarcerated. He recounts: I had not seen Zindzi since she was three years old. [because there was a prison rule – no children under the age of 16 allowed in jail]. She was a daughter who knew her father from old photographs rather than memory. I put on a fresh shirt that morning, and took more trouble than usual with my appearance: it is my own vanity, but I did not want to look like an old man for my youngest daughter.
I had not seen Winnie for over a year, and I was pleased to find that she looked well. But I was delighted to behold what a beautiful woman my youngest daughter had become and how closely she resembled her equally beautiful mother.
And then he writes further about the encounter and how uncomfortable she felt.
When she arrived I said to her, 'Have you met my guard of honor?' gesturing to the warders who followed me everywhere. I asked her questions about her life, her schooling and her friends, and then tried to take her back to the old days that she hardly remembered. I told her how often I recalled Sunday mornings at home when I dandled her on my knee while Mum was in the kitchen preparing a roast. I recollected small incidents and adventures in Orlando when she was a baby, and how she had rarely cried even when she was small. Through the glass, I could see her holding back her tears as I talked.
He couldn't even touch her.
He had to see her through the glass.
He writes, so painfully, about a meeting with his mother when he noticed that she wasn't looking well. And then says several weeks later after returning from the quarry: I was told to go to head office to collect a telegram. It was from Makgatho, informing me that my mother had died of a heart attack. I immediately made a request to the commanding officer to be permitted to attend her funeral in the Transkei, which he turned down. 'Mandela,' he said. 'While I know you are a man of your word and would not try to escape, I cannot trust your own people, and we fear that they may try to kidnap you." It added to my grief that I was not able to bury my mother, which was my responsibility as her eldest child and only son.
Twenty-seven years in jail enduring this kind of suffering, and to come out of that and be prepared to forgive. To be prepared to look past all of the pain and the torment, is astounding. I think it is this act of transcendence, this greatness of spirit, this ability to rise above personal pain for the greater good of all that that people are awestruck by, and that accounts for the world's continued captivation with president Mandela. One of our great sages of the last few hundred years, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto of Italy, wrote a classic work of Jewish ethics called Mesillat Yesharim ("The Path of the Just"). And he says, out of all the qualities that constitute human greatness, the one that is truly angelic is the ability to forgive someone who has hurt or wronged you.
But we also know that Nelson Mandela would have told us that it was not just he, but his entire generation, that suffered under Apartheid.
And when we talk about this transcendent spirit of forgiveness we don't only talk about Nelson Mandela, we talk about an entire country that was willing to set aside indescribable pain in order to start afresh; that was prepared, not to forget, but to forgive. As Mandela wrote: "My country is rich in the minerals and gems that lie beneath its soil, but I have always known its greatest wealth is its people, finer and truer than the purest diamonds."
That is the South African people. A nation of heroes.
Nelson Mandela personified that heroism. He inspired it.
He led it. But it was ordinary South Africans who gave expression to his lofty vision, who upheld it and made national reconciliation a reality.
The greatness of Nelson Mandela is a reflection of the greatness of spirit of South Africans across the length and breadth of the country.
Ultimately it all comes down to optimism. Optimism is what gave Nelson Mandela the ability to rise above the pain and resentment to chart a new direction for the country.
It was his optimism that helped him see the essential goodness in humanity, even in those who oppressed him.
In Hebrew, we call it tikva, hope.
There is a particularly stirring passage in Long Walk to Freedom, in which Mandela describes a later visit from his daughter Zeni, very soon after the birth of her first child. As he explains, she was able to touch him because she was married to a Swazi prince, and as a member of the Swazi royal family was not subject to the normal rules of the jail.
And when she came into meet her father, she arrived at the prison with her husband and her baby. Mandela describes what happened next: To hold a newborn baby, so vulnerable and soft in my rough hands, hands that for too long had held only picks and shovels, was a profound joy. I don't think a man was happier to hold a baby than I was on that day.... It is the custom for the grandfather to select a name, and the one that I had chosen was Zaziwe – which means "Hope." The name had a special meaning for me, for during all my years in prison hope never left me – and now it never would. I was convinced that this child would be a part of a new generation of South Africans for whom apartheid would be a distant memory – that was my dream.
Like Joseph of old – a dreamer.
Mandela's dreams for a better future survived the depths of the darkness of his Robben Island prison cell – through sheer force of will and true greatness of spirit, but most of all, through hope. Hope. Zaziwe.
Tikva. This is his legacy.
This is what he gave to South Africa and the world.

Titans Lead Colts 17-6 at HalftimePosted by on November 14, 2013 – 9:11 pm
Tennessee has built a 17-6 halftime lead on Indianapolis.
The Titans added a 25-yard field goal by Rob Bironas for a 17-3 lead against the Colts with 2:32 remaining in the first half.
The kick ended an 11-play, 73-yard drive that consumed 6:09 of the second quarter.
The drive included a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty against Robert Mathis on Ryan Fitzpatrick, an unnecessary roughness penalty against Cassius Vaughn on Justin Hunter and an unnecessary roughness penalty against Erik Walden on Delanie Walker during which Walden ripped the helmet off Walker then appeared to headbutt the Titans' tight end in the face.
The three penalties moved the ball from the Tennessee 40-yard line to the Indianapolis 13, but the drive stalled.
Indianapolis added the second field goal by Adam Vinatieri as the first half expired to make it 17-6.

What, is this the 3rd game our Special Teams played a major roll in the Titans losing?!!! I just don't get it……another season lost!
By addicted2football on Nov 15, 2013 | Reply
Maybe our new HC, whoever that may be, can deliver us from the embarrassment we've been suffering. I still think Gregg Williams is worth saving, and I wouldn't mind keeping Shawn Jefferson to coach the receviers.
By curson4life on Nov 15, 2013 | Reply
Hey addicted, personally I say let all the coaches go. We need to get totally away from the Jeff Fisher tree. As for Williams, he was a poor HC when in Buffalo. The formula the Titans' brass employs simply isn't working. In 40 years of the NFL we have one Super Bowl appearance, and haven't won a playoff game in nearly 10 years. What other fans base would stand for this futility? As I always tell you, we need to demand better.
By addicted2football on Nov 15, 2013 | Reply
So who should we be looking at for a new HC, a current NFL coordinator or college HC? Do we fire the front office and scouting department? I think Rus Webster has done a good job drafting for us since he was named GM, how do you like Webster?
By curson4life on Nov 16, 2013 | Reply
Addicted, personally I would look to an assistant who has not been a head coach already…We need innovation…And we certainly don't need a retread. As for Russ, I say show him the door along with the entire front office. Look, our drafts have been mediocre at best…Our free agent signings have been mediocre at best…Leading us to remain in mediocrity. As I always tell you, we deserve better. We should be playing for titles rather than just the "HOPE" of making the playoffs.

Washburn Maverick Series Modified
Washburn Signature Nuno Bettencourt N4 Electric Guitar
This is a used Wasburn Maverick Series. There has been some work done to it to make it sound and play better. I have replaced the stock pickups with Seymour Duncan Cool Rails in the Neck and Middle positions. The Bridge has a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom pickup. I had the frets replaced with fatter, slightly taller frets, so you can get under the strings better. The stock frets were not that great on these guitars. The nut has been replaced with one that has been cut with better string separation. The stock one did not leave enough room in the High E and Low E strings for comfortable vibrato. There is a small paint chip in the top screw where the toggle switch is, that I hope is highlighted well enough in the pics, otherwise this guitar is in great condition. This guitar has a nice thick, crisp sound to it. You can go from Metal to Blues, with this guitar depending on how you use your volume knob. I have too much gear and need to sell this one. Times are tuff. I spent $350 to buy it and then spent another $550.00 to make it better. My loss is your gain.

A working group for Internet regulators is under severe criticism for a proposal that would put an end to the openness of the current WHOIS system for domain name registration records.
The expert working group of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has proposed (PDF document) establishing an Aggregated Registration Data Service (ARDS) for storing all records. The system would be closed by default, and people or organizations would have to convince the controlling body of a legitimate need for the data.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Verizon's diabolical plan to turn the Web into pay-per-view. | For quick, smart takes on the news you'll be talking about, check out InfoWorld TechBrief -- subscribe today. ]
Currently, registrants store registration records, and anyone can go to a number of sites that use the WHOIS query and response protocol to retrieve all the public information. The working group agrees with critics that the system in use today provides too much inaccurate information, and fails to protect the privacy of individuals and entities with a legitimate right to keep the information out of the public domain.
Critics of the working group's proposal agree that the system is broken, but disagree with the recommendation that the openness of today be replaced with a system that is closed by default. Under the proposed system, individuals or entities that want registration would have to apply to a central authority for "access credentials to the ARDS."
"What the ARDS proponents fail to realize is that WHOIS data isn't separate from the Internet -- it's part of the Internet itself, and they are trying to centralize global control over who gets to access that key Internet information, what can be done with it and why," John Horton, president of LegitScript, told CSOonline on Monday. "It's extremely disquieting for one organization to be given that much power."
LegitScript joined DomainTools, G2 Web Services and OpSec Security in sending a letter to the ICANN, listing their objections to the proposed changes (PDF document). The potential problems listed by the group included hampering future innovative uses of the WHOIS data.
"Since its inception the Internet has been a powerful force of innovation and creativity primarily for the reason that there are relatively few barriers to entry," the letter said.
[Also see: NSA snooping bolsters opponents of U.S. Internet control]
Not everyone disagreed with the working group. The Center for Democracy & Technology said the group did a "good job" in recommending access restrictions to currently available data. Nevertheless, it did not go far enough in determining what data should actually be handed over to registries.
"We question whether registering a domain should automatically publish that registrant's personal data in the equivalent of an 'Internet phone book,'" the CDT said in a statement.

Hey there everyone,
This month's Wargames Illustrated published an article about my game Command Combat: Civil War, of which I'm enormously proud.
I'll be showing it at Orccon on Friday and Saturday, but I'd really like to show it at March Forward. I'll unfortunately be out of town that weekend on a book tour, but if there's anyone who would enjoy putting on the game at that convention, I'll loan you all the miniatures you need, and give you a copy of the rulebook.
- Jeff

- Be aware that most atheists have come from religious upbringings.
- Be aware of logical fallacies so that you do not make them
- Don't mock guys like Charles Darwin or Richard Dawkins if you've never read a word they've written.
- Don't make foolish assertions that your religious belief is on the same footing as science.
- We are aware that to Christians, atheists can often sound brusque, condescending, and downright pissy.
- Be aware that the minute you fall back on "You just have to have faith," you've lost.
There is a more detailed explanation for each point which you can read if you follow the above link. I've tried to create similar advice, based on my own experiences and emails:
- How to Talk to, Debate Theists: Ways Atheists Can Avoid Common Errors
- How to Talk to, Debate Atheists: Ways Religious Theists can Avoid Common Errors
- Conversation Killers for Atheists: How Religious Theists Can Hurt Their Cause
What sorts of problems do you consistently encounter and would like to included in such lists? How do you explain and deal with them when they do occur?

AzAtheist here. I am just going to copy/paste a post I wrote on another forum in sheer frustration because most of these issues came up and I wanted to clear the air.
>>Okay, I just have to do it.
Atheists do not "refuse" to believe in a God anymore than a theist (Christian) refuses to believe in purple flying elephants. We simply lack belief in this God.
Belief is not something one turns on and off like a lamp. One either believes or they do not. When people insist that we really do believe they are saying they know better than us what our own individual thoughts and feelings are and that doesn't make one of us look very smart.
I can no more spontaneously "believe" in your God than you can spontaneously claim a lack of belief. Seriously, if beliefs can be turned on like lamps then they can be turned off just as easily. What would it take for you to honestly, sincerely, believe your God does not exist? Yeah, that's what you are suggesting we do by simply believing.
It is not a "fact" that your God exists. It is faith. If you had facts you wouldn't need faith. Unless you can bring your God to my home for dinner tonight for a nice chilled protein shake, it is your belief he exists. If you want to insist that it is a fact that your God exists, please feel free to trot out your proof and explain why you no longer have faith but facts instead. "I FEEL him in my heart," is not proof – it is an emotion.
Christians and other assorted theists have every bloody right in the world to believe anything they wish. If you want to believe in a God or many Gods that is your right and I would defend your right to believe until my very last breath. Would you defend my right to lack belief in the same way?
We don't need to hear the Word. I know more atheists that have read the bible cover to cover than Christians. Matter of fact, I can count the number of Christians I know that have read their own good book (cover to cover) on one hand.
I know the bible well, I likely know it better than most Christians. I didn't *just* go to church on a very regular basis I read the bible and studied the material. Quite frankly, that is what led to my atheism.
Christianity is not new material, it just isn't. If you research Christianity you will see it was borrowed from myths prior to Christianity. The Hindus, for example. Egyptians. Then we have holidays, Paganism anyone?
Just because I am not a Christian and I will defend my right to lack Christian beliefs, that does not mean I am anti-Christian. That is a cop out and nothing more. We know it, so do you.
Christians are not being persecuted in the US. The only difference between today and 100 years ago is that now Christians are being forced by law to follow the same rules as the rest of us have had to do since the beginning of the Bill of Rights. That is not persecution and if you insist it is then you have to say that the rest of the country has been persecuted since the beginning of the Bill of Rights.
The founding fathers were not all Christian. They were an assorted bunch, everything from pantheist, Pagan, Christian, atheist, and deist.
Yes, Christianity is the majority religion in the US today. However, that is changing. Christianity numbers are dropping by just shy of 1% annually. This has been tracked since at least the '80s. The two fastest growing groups are Pagans and atheists. It's true, deal with it.
Considering the fact that Christianity is going down in numbers it has been estimated that by somewhere around 2040 or so, Christianity will no longer be the majority religion in the US. Assuming this is true, are you really sure you want your religion in public schools? If you set the tone today for religion/public schools, do realize that in the near future you may just get your wish. However, your future generations may not be worshiping the Christian God but perhaps Ra, the Sun God while dancing naked around a maypole under a full moon at midnight. Is this what you want? This is what many Christians today are pushing for.
We are not out to convert the world. We don't care what your religion is, we just don't want to participate it in and we don't want to follow the same rules. We happen to disagree with a great many of the beliefs Christians want to (and have) put into law. If we promise not to try and convert you, would you grant us the same favors?
We do not worship a devil. If we lack a belief in the supernatural such as the Christian God, it is quite safe to assume we lack belief in a supernatural devil or demon as well.
We do not eat babies. Amazing, I know but we really don't. Some of us actually have our own children and we don't eat them either.
I fully realize this list is not directed to all Christians. You know who you are. Most Christians are honest, decent, kind individuals following their path in this life. They are doing the best they can. Guess what? So are we.
About 10-20 years ago we nonbelievers made up about 14% of the US population. Since we are one of the fastest growing groups today you can rest assured that number is significantly greater now. We are here to stay, we aren't going anywhere. We aren't growing in numbers by recruiting, it doesn't work that way. People are being educated in sciences more today than any other time and people are making these choices on their own.
Wouldn't it make more sense to work together as a community and not worry about what everyone else believes? We are all in this world together, it only makes sense to be peaceful, respectful, and considerate of others. Keep in mind, it is likely a bunch of atheists and Pagans taking care of you when you are in the hospital. I've been in medicine for over 20 years now and I'm here to tell you, you can't spit in a hospital and fail to hit a nonbeliever somewhere. We are professionals, we are part of your community. Instead of focusing on differences let's find ways to make life more harmonious.
Whew… okay. I'm done.

Who are you, I want to use this, and would like to give the author full credit. It's epic and mostly true to how a view the whole situation.
- March 6, 2007 at 1:08 pm(3) KC says:
My number one complaint is that liberal theists often enter a discussion with the idea that they are (for lack of a better word) superior. It's like "ooh, a real live atheist. I must investigate this odd little creature." That is annoying. I'd rather have an all out flamewar with a die-hard fundamentalist than a "discussion" with a liberal theist who appears to think I'm a bug under their microscope and should be grateful for the experience.
- March 13, 2007 at 2:15 pm(4) BlackBloc says:
Personally, what bugs me about liberal theists (or left-wing theists, for that matter) is that they assume that because they agree with me on politics, I'm somehow obligated in return to respect their ridiculous belief system(s).
"I'm not a fundie, I'm all PC and sh**, so how dare you *still* think that my beliefs in Zombie Jesus is weird? Compromise! Compromise!"
Sorry guys. Not hating on the gays and the abortions was the litmut test for me even giving you the time of day, not a bargaining chip that you could use to Get out of Reason Free.

If you want to work toward a preconceived end in a conversation, you are probably trying to convert (it rarely works). Why not throw the lists out of the window and just try to be thoroughly informed.
Remember that fundanazis are not above using the smear argument and ordinary nazis use. The insult frames the discussion. This simple technique must be countered with a counter smear or a baseball bat.

The statement that make this atheist either want to scream or cry in exassperation is this:
"To be an atheist you must believe that something (i.e. the universe) can came from nothing."
Yet the believer refuses to acknowledge the obvious paradox, and that they do not consistently apply their criticism. They simply assume that an alleged God resolves the problem. But from where or how did God come into being?

This worked nicely for a 30 min presentation, 4th and 5th graders
Chemical properties
Burning water
4 new bottle of drinking water
250 mL ehrlenmeyer flask
a few drops hexanes (put in flask ahead of time)
extinguishing beaker
Talk about matter (the stuff of the universe, solid liquids and gases), observations, how the unexpected can be a good thing.
combustion reaction: hydrocarbon (C, H) + oxygen forms carbon dioxide and water
the rearrangement of atoms (C, H) in these molecules to form new, more stable molecules, releases energy (heat and light)
Nitro cotton
nitro cottom balls
propane torch
ring stand, wire gauze
glass rod
Would the first combustion reaction be enough energy to fuel a rocket? Rocket fuel contains different atoms arranged in a way that when burned they release a lot more energy (heat and light)
combustion reaction: C, H, N, O + oxygen forms carbon dioxide, nitrogen gas, water and heat and light
250 mL Solution A, 250 mL solution B (Shakhashiri, p. 156)
500 mL graduated cylander
Collection flask
"Wand" and HP reference to "Lumos" spell
Concept: production of light without heat. Not a combustion reaction but a transfer of electrons in an oxidation-reduction reaction
acid/base titration
Titration glass wear
2 x 400 mL 1.25% NaOH solution per demo
Universal indicator
Concept: acid base reactions (vinegar and baking soda, ammonia, cleaners, lemon juice, soda etc). Purple color indicates a basic solution (pH > 7). As acid is added the solution turns yellow indicating pH < 7. Have students race to be the first to add enough acid to neutralize all the base. Acid is added in the form of exhaled CO2 (blown through tubing).
Physical properties:
liquid nitrogen
liquid nitrogen (-200C, -320F)
glass dish, dewar
racquetball or other objects to freeze
tongs, gloves
Concept: illustrate physical properties of matter. Gases. Relationship of temperature and pressure. One mole of gas.
Other stuff
waste containers
prizes, tee shirts

Campbell Grant
Earlier I had posted some drawings by Henry Syverson from books by Richard Armour, who wrote a number of humor books from the fifties into the late seventies. Armour was initially known for funny poems, but in the 1950's he began writing satirical history and literature essays in the style of humorist Will Cuppy (author of the posthumously published THE DECLINE AND FALL OF PRACTICALLY EVERYBODY, 1948). Most of Armour's books from this era were illustrated by Campbell Grant, a former Disney story artist who was patterning his style after William Stieg, who had illustrated Cuppy's book. I will scan some of these at a later date for people who are only familiar with Stieg's SHREK-era drawings. They're very amusing.
Here are some of Campbell Grant's illustrations for Armour's dissertation on IVANHOE from THE CLASSICS RE-CLASSIFIED, (1960). Does his take on "King John" (directly above) look vaguely familiar to anyone?

That last sketch of the king with the oversized crown really looked familiar. Then it hit me - it looked uncannily like what I recalled of that concept sketch of Prince John by Ken Anderson that's included in the line-up of rough character designs from "Robin Hood" in Christopher Finch's "The Art of Walt Disney". Sure enough, if you go to page 322 you'll see that it's adapted directly from this Campbell grant drawing, props and all!

Wow, Peter, that was fast!
I hope this doesn't detract to much attention to Cambell Grant's illustrations, which are delightful in themselves. I plan to post many more. I just couldn't resist revealing the swipe on this one, which I discovered while still in high school.

- Jenny said...
Um, obviously BOTH men are terrific artists, but...I wonder what Grant made of this? Having done his first? One can only surmise!
- July 11, 2007 at 10:59 AM
- Amy said...
I notice Grant's style also has some similarities to Ronald Searle, who would have been illustrating for Punch, St Trinians, Nigel Molesworth etc. at pretty much the same time.

Movie News 2013
UPDATED: 28th June 2013
Did you know that the most expensive movie to be created ever is Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds's End? The estimated cost to produce it was $300.000.000! A lot of people watch this movie!
Did you know that the most expensive movie flop in the history is Cutthroat Island (from 1995), total cost was $115.000.000 but it only earned back around $18.500.000! Well we think this movie will soon take the second place now when Brad Pitt's movie World War Z has been released since they have already spent over $200.000.000 just to re-write and re-shoot the FINAL ACT! Talk about wasting money! I'm still gonna watch this movie online though ;)
Did you know that the movie Paranormal Activity only cost $15.000 to create but generated an huge $197.000.000 of gross revenue! Talk about good investment! I don't like horror movies so I haven't seen any of them (there are five)
Big news! It has just been announced that in June 2015 the first movie in a new TERMINATOR trilogy will be released! This is specially awesome since Arnold Schwarzenegger will have a part in it!

Joe Table is back, baby!
Over the last week (not including tonight), he has allowed a 1.117 OPS, for an ERA of 7.71 over four appearances. Tonight, in 1/3 inning, he allowed five runs (two scored while he was in the game; he left with the bases loaded, and Clay Condrey allowed all the baserunners to score).

Early vote tallies indicate Mercer Island's $196 million school bond issue is drawing general election-sized interest from local residents.
King County Elections reports over 63,000 voters have already returned their ballots for the April 17 Special Election in King County, more than average at this time for special elections. King County Elections mailed 236,000 ballots to voters in the six districts participating in this election and expects a return rate of 34 percent (about 80,000).
"So far, voter turnout has been a little higher than we anticipated, which is very positive," said Sherril Huff, King County Elections Director. "There are still a lot of voters who haven't yet voted and I'd like to encourage them to sign the return envelope and get it back to us by April 17."
According to the King County Elections Website, 7,318 ballots from Mercer Island have been checked and verified for counting on April 17, a turnout 43 percent (of Mercer Island's 16,632 voters) and the highest turnout in the Special Election so far. Another 758 ballots have been received today and will be verified and added to the total by 8 p.m. tonight. Last year's general election reported a local turnout of nearly 60 percent, according to King County Elections.
The number of verified ballots easily surpassed the number needed to validate the school bond measure in tomorrow's special election, which state law requires a minimum of 3,971 ballots cast. In order to pass, the bond must garner a 60 percent "yes" vote.
In order for their ballot to be counted, voters are required to sign and date the back of the return envelope. King County Elections staff compare the signatures on returned ballot envelopes against the signature on file with voter registrations — and if voters return ballots without signing them, Election officials must attempt to contact each voter to resolve the problem. Signature problems must be resolved before the election is certified on April 27.
Ballots must be returned to one of six ballot drop boxes by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, April 17, or be postmarked on or before that day. Voters mailing their ballots need to affix a 45 cent stamp. To ensure that voters with disabilities are able to cast a private and independent ballot, the county's accessible voting center in Renton is open for voting. Voters who return ballots early help ensure more efficient elections.
Auburn Transportation Benefit District, the City of Enumclaw, the South King Fire & Rescue, and three school districts (Issaquah, Mercer Island and Renton) are participating in this month's election.

Suggs Says He'll Return In 4-6 Months
From Pro Football Talk: "As far as my return, it's still the same as the [original] prognosis of four to six months," Suggs said. If it's four months, he'll be available for Week One. And it sounds like that's the plan. "I'm 29 years old," Suggs said. "I don't miss games. I'll be returning soon."


text: Vote on the Poll below to see who the Rams should take, my opinion, we should take Sam Bradford, our defense is fine currently, we only allowed 20-30 points on some of the top offenses in the whole NFL, our offense is really what is slacking in our game plan, we used to be the greatest show on turf, and that is what worked, we need to jump start the offense. That is what we need to do. Also, the defense did not look that bad, and it is mainly because of our safeties and corner backs dealing with injuries, are DT's are fine, we do not need any more in the immediate future. We held the highest scoring offense in the NFL, the Saints, to 28 points. The most points we ever scored in a game was against the Saints, 23 points. I think we need our offense to get a little bit better. We scored 10 or less points 9 times this season, including scoring 0 twice, we scored more than 20 points once. Yeah some people say defense wins championships, which it will help, but even if you have some of the best defense in the NFL, and a horrible offense, you wont make it anywhere. Also, with the offense on the field longer, it gives the defense more time to rest, which will result in a better performance out of them.

Moise Larose firms up to Rutgers
Maryland offensive lineman Moise Larose reportedly gave a soft verbal to Rutgers several months back, but wanted to take some more time to firm up his decision. Reports are now that he's fully on board, so there you have it, another solid line prospect in the fold as opposed to a sleeper. That has to be considered a victory.

We're already happy enough to feature beautiful women on TSJ day in and day out, but when those beautiful women also offer to bring other beautiful women to the site, we get really excited. That's exactly what happened when the lovely Jessica Vaugn pitched us an idea we just couldn't pass up.
Starting Monday, Jessica will be contributing a new feature to The Smoking Jacket called "Girl on Girl." Each week, she'll sit down with another sexy model to ask her all the questions most guys wouldn't have the courage to ask. It should go without saying that those interviews will be accompanied by a gallery of pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Speaking of that, what fun would it be to have Jessica on board without first featuring her in a sexy gallery of her own? Check out all sorts of lovely from Jessica today, and come back Monday to read the very first edition of "Girl on Girl." We're approximately 108% certain you'll enjoy it.
See more from Jessica at her official website, jessicavaugn.com. Or to see her in a NSFW way, go here.

Washington - Astronomers are watching the astronomical equivalent of an instant replay of a powerful outburst from the unstable, behemoth double-star system Eta Carinae, which was initially spotted on Earth nearly 170 years ago.
Dubbed the "Great Eruption,†the outburst lasted from 1837 to 1858 and temporarily made Eta Carinae the second brightest star in the sky.
But luckily for today's astronomers, some of the light from the eruption took an indirect path to Earth and is just arriving now.
The wayward light was heading in a different direction, away from our planet, when it bounced off dust lingering far from the turbulent stars and was rerouted to Earth, an effect called a "light echo.â€
Because of its longer path, the light reached Earth 170 years later than the light that arrived directly.
Armin Rest of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., initially discovered the light echoes, and was the leader of the study.
Federica Bianco, a postdoctoral researcher at UC Santa Barbara and Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT), used LCOGT's Faulkes Telescope South in Siding Spring, Australia, to record the explosion after this time delay and compare it to eyewitness reports of the brightness of the star from the 1800's to determine that the light echo was indeed from the "Great Eruption.â€
"You are at the stadium, watching the game, and your team scores,†said Bianco.
"But you are too far away to get the details of the action, or in the case of Eta Carinae's great eruption, you do not have modern instruments, detectors, and spectrographs to study it.
"Now we are getting a replay –– an up-close, detailed view of our cosmic eruption. And just like with the replay, we get to see the outburst from a different point of view, as the light that we see now was originally travelling in a different direction than the light seen in the 1840's.â€
Andy Howell, a staff scientist at LCOGT and adjunct faculty member at UCSB, added that they finally "got to watch firsthand the event that created the iconic Hubble Space Telescope images of giant lobes of gas expanding away from Eta Carinae.â€
"It turns out it was an explosion –– and a strange, cool one. It just blows my mind that we can go back in time and watch one of astronomy's greatest hits, and greatest mysteries, with a cosmic instant replay.â€
The observations are providing new insight into the behaviour of powerful massive stars on the brink of detonation.
Very massive stars, especially a pair of them, are exceedingly rare, and little is known about how they lose mass as they die.
The views of the nearby erupting star revealed some unexpected results, which will force astronomers to modify physical models of the outburst.
Located 8,000 light-years from Earth, Eta Carinae is one of the largest and brightest star systems in our Milky Way galaxy. Although the chaotic duo is known for its petulant outbursts, the Great Eruption was the biggest ever observed.
During the 20-year episode, Eta Carinae shed some 20 solar masses. Some of the outflow formed the system's twin giant lobes. Before the epic event, the stellar pair was 140 times heftier than our Sun.
The team's study involved a mix of visible-light and spectroscopic observations from ground-based telescopes.
These observations mark the first time astronomers have used spectroscopy to analyze a light echo from a star undergoing powerful recurring eruptions, though they have measured this unique phenomenon around exploding stars called supernovae.
Spectroscopy captures a star's "fingerprints,†providing details about its behavior, including the temperature and speed of the ejected material.
The replay is giving astronomers a unique look at the outburst, and turning up some surprises. The turbulent star does not behave like other stars of its class. Eta Carinae is a member of a stellar class called Luminous Blue Variables –– large, extremely bright stars that are prone to periodic outbursts.
The study has been published in the journal Nature.

Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service
in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio
communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for
public service, recreation and self-training.
There are hams in just about every country, and even in outer
space -- the International Space Station has a ham radio
station on board and regularly makes contact with hams on the
ground. Hams also have several dozen
ham radio satellites
which are used to relay signals from one part of the globe to another.
Some hams enjoy experimenting with radio technology, some like
competing with other hams (called contesting), some like
talking to hams in foreign countries, and some just like chatting with
other hams, either nearby or across the country.
All radio amateurs around the world are licensed by their own
governments. Like all hams in the United States, Mr. Siegel is
licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, which administers
the Amateur
Radio Service. Mr. Siegel's call sign is N2CN.
Getting a license requires passing a multiple
choice test on radio theory and radio regulations.
Ham radio and scouting is a natural combination. Ham radio embodies
the scout motto, "Be Prepared". Hams work closely with both
governmental and volunteer organizations, drilling and preparing
for disasters, and are usually among the first emergency responders
in disaster situations, providing communication when all other forms
of communication have failed.
More information about amateur radio can be found on the web page of
the American Radio Relay League (ARRL),
which is the national membership association for Amateur Radio
operators in the United States. More details can be had
here and
One of the Merit Badges that a scout can earn is the
radio badge.
Requirements 7 and 8 of the radio merit badge require learning about
and visiting a radio installation in one these three categories:
amateur radio, commercial, or shortwave. Mr. Siegel is a radio merit
badge counselor and will help any scout in Stamford earn his radio
merit badge.
Note that you do not need to earn your ham radio license to
earn the radio merit badge.
More information on the radio merit badge can be found
The worldwide scouting Jamboree-on-the-Air
(JOTA) falls on the third weekend of each October. The JOTA
is an annual Scouting and amateur radio event sponsored by the
World Scout Bureau
of the
World Organization of the Scout
Movement. Thousands of amateur radio stations around the world
participate. If the conditions are right, it is common to contact a
hundred Scouting countries during the weekend. In the United States,
Cub Scout dens and Boy Scout troops visit a local
amateur's "ham shack" during JOTA. Many districts and councils hold
events that coincide with JOTA, where amateurs set up stations giving
Scouts and leaders a chance to exchange greetings with Scouts from
other areas.
More info about JOTA can be had
Mr. Siegel can help you earn your ham radio license. The best way to
start is to buy a copy of
ARRL Ham Radio License Manual, also available less expensively at
You should also obtain a copy of the
question pool for
the Technician class license. This is a complete list of questions
that you would encounter during the licensing test. If you study the
license manual and/or memorize the question pool, you are very likely
to pass the test, and you'll be licensed.
The Stamford Amateur Radio Association gives
quarterly radio tests
in the Stamford Government Center building.
More information on Amateur Radio licensing classes can be found
Morse code, also known as CW (for Continuous Wave), is no longer a
requirement for obtaining a ham radio license, but nevertheless is
still a very popular communication mode on the ham bands. CW can
be heard when band conditions make voice unintelligible, and ham
radio rigs (transmitters and receivers) that work only with
CW are less expensive, smaller and simpler that those that are
capable of voice transmission. And even though getting the message
across with CW is a bit slow, it is Mr. Siegel's favorite mode of
ham radio communication.
If you are interested in learning Morse code, the ARRL offers training
CDs. They also have daily Morse code
practice on the air from their ham radio station, W1AW -- if
you have a radio receiver that can receive ham frequencies, you can
hear W1AW very clearly in Stamford at 3.5815 MHz. Mr. Siegel is also
very happy to work with any scout who wants to learn Morse code.
More information on learning Morse code can be found
here. Online code
practice files can be found

Safety Tips for Shooting on Public Land-video
"No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
- Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, Proposed Virginia Constitution, 1776
.338 Ruger Compact Magnum
Ruger's, with the help of Hornady, new Compact Magnum (RCM) cartridges were designed with the intention of creating a magnum performance cartridge in a compact design. The optimized case geometry of the .338 RCM allows the cartridge to achieve their ballistic target while using 10-15% less powder. Ruger based the .338 RCM on their beltless .375 Ruger case with a case geometry that allows the bullet to achieve magnum levels of performance with a relatively short 20-inch barrel.
When looking at the performance data of the .338 RCM versus the .338 Win Mag it becomes apparent that the downrange performance of the .338 RCM matches or exceeds the .338 Win Mag. The .338 RCM fires a 200-grain SST from a 20-inch barrel at 2850 fps while the .338 Win Mag fires a 200-grain Part from a 24-inch barrel at 2830 fps. At 100 yards the .338 RCM velocity is at 2649 fps versus 2601 fps for the .338 Win Mag. These differences are negligible but the .338 RCM is firing from a 20-inch barrel, which would provide a much smaller and useful package in the field.
The Ruger Compact Magnum's ability to achieve magnum like performance with 10-15% less powder also leads to longer barrel life and less recoil and muzzle blast.

I recently ordered a couple of new guns from my local gun shop. It may be a while until they come in, from what I am told. I ordered a 3 inch Ruger SP101 in the new .327 Federal Magnum caliber and a Ruger Hawkeye African in the .375 Ruger caliber. The seller tells me that the SP 101 in that make up is just now trickling out of the factory and that distributers are having a hard time stocking them for retailers, so I may be waiting a while...click for more.

Zebra crossing to be installed in Broadmead Road, Woodford Green after funding is agreed
Updated 6:21pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in Redbridge By Dominic Sutton, Senior reporter
A zebra crossing will be installed on a busy road crossed by hundreds of schoolchildren after funding was found.
At a meeting last Tuesday, councillors from the area two committee agreed to commit £15,000 towards the installation costs of the crossing close to the Orchard estate in Broadmead Road, Woodford Green.
They planned to ask Redbridge Council's cabinet for the remaining £20,000 needed to make the scheme a reality but the remainder of the money will now be provided under an existing scheme.
Ian Bond, deputy leader of the council, said: "The good news is that, in discussion with our Highways officers, we have identified a budget for 'safer routes to school' which has an unspent balance.
"Because the recent survey showed so many school children crossing Broadmead Road we can use it to supplement the Area Committee budget to complete the scheme.
"This is excellent news and means that we're now planning to get the crossing installed at this local danger spot as soon as possible – hopefully at the end of March once we are into the school holidays."

So I've been making Vikings update videos for a few weeks and I'm really just trying to get my Youtube channel out there. I'm not coming here to spam....I've been a registered member of Daily Norseman for almost 5 years, but if you would be so kind to take a few minutes out of your day and let me know what I need to do better for my future Vikings updates (even if you think they're stupid and never want to see one again) I'd greatly appreciate it. I also posted this early in the Monday Open Thread. I do a funny segment with Rick Spielman.....thanks guys. Shoutout to Los Diablo who is the
proud recipient of my first ever "Cope Sets You Straight" segment! Ted Glover should take notes too ;) just sayin.

BUCKINGHAM, ENGLAND, UK (KNOE 8 News & AP) Some British relatives of Titanic victims are horrified at an Australian billionaire's plans to build a full-sized replica of the doomed liner, but enthusiasts hope it will keep the spirit of the Titanic and that period of history alive.
Mining magnate Clive Palmer is set to unveil the details of his plans for Titanic II in New York later on Tuesday (February 26). Its inaugural voyage is expected to follow the same route at the original Titanic, from Southampton in the United Kingdom, to Cobh in Ireland before heading across the Atlantic to Manhattan.
On April 15, 1912 the original ship hit an iceberg in the Atlantic and sank, killing 1,523 passengers and crew.
Ninety-one-year-old Pat Lacey is the great great niece of the ship's captain, Edward John Smith, who perished at sea. She is not keen on the Titanic II project. "I think it is utterly pointless and in rather poor taste really....If you have got that amount of money, it must be costing a bomb, you know in this day and age, why not do something useful with it?" she said. "I can image all the ghosts of people who went down on it, getting up and being cross about it. I certainly do. I don't understand the mentality of someone who wants to do it really," she said.
Lacey has written a biographical novel about her great great uncle's life, a figure who, 100 years after his death, continues to capture the public's imagination for his involvement in one of the worst maritime disasters of all time. She thinks Smith would be "absolutely horrified" by the plans to rebuild the liner.
On Palmer's Blue Star Line website, the Australian billionaire calls the Titanic II project the "Return of a legend", and says the liner will be an exact replica of the Titanic, but a few feet wider and, of course, carrying more lifeboats.
Titanic enthusiasts, sometimes called Titanoraks in the UK, are excited about the project. Titanic historian, Philip Littlejohn, whose grandfather was a first class steward on the doomed liner, is intrigued by the plans. His grandfather, Alexander James Littlejohn, turned white-haired overnight after surviving the disaster. "I think grandfather would have loved it," said Littlejohn about the Titanic II project. "I mean to think that people were still talking about the job that he did over 100 years later and that people were fascinated by the Titanic story," he said.
Littlejohn, who has written a book about the tragedy, went on a dive to the crash site to see for himself the ruins, which are decaying. "Titanic is deteriorating rapidly, so people aren't able to go down and see the original Titanic, maybe Titanic II can give them the opportunity to experience what it was like. So, provided it is done with respect, I am very much for it," he said
Last year, on the centenary of the disaster, two memorial cruise ships set off from Southampton and New York to the site of the sinking. Reportedly, potential passengers for the Titanic II's maiden voyage in 2016 have offered up to one million US dollars for a ticket.
