The Dodgers filed exempt for the beginning of the 2012 MLB season, but everyone knows at some point the taxman comes to collect. This is going to be the first real challenge for the Dodgers (depending on your opinion of Erik Bedard). Information taken from Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference.Tuesday, April 17: Yovani Gallardo (R)
The toughest pitcher the Dodgers have faced since 2011, Gallardo has been very good for his last three campaigns. After a rough first start against the Cardinals in which he allowed four home runs and was removed in the fourth inning, Gallardo was back to his old self, striking out 6 Cubs over 7 innings for his first victory. For his career, Gallardo has struck out over a hitter per inning while walking 3.5 per 9 innings.
Gallardo features a three pitch repertoire, using a 92mph fastball (50% of the time), an 80mph curveball (18%) and an 87mph slider (27%). His curveball is regarded as one of the best in the game, and he does a great job of keeping it down and away from both left- and right-handed hitters, as you can see here. Gallardo doesn't throw anything with arm-side action, nothing he can run in on a righty or away from a lefty. This reflects itself in Gallardo's career splits. For his career, right-handed hitters have a .675 OPS against, while lefties have a .720 OPS against. He's certainly a dominant pitcher, but he allows left-handed hitters to keep him from joining the ranks of the elite.
What To Watch For: Gallardo's fastball is down over a mile per hour so far this season, but his offspeed pitches are maintaining their velocity. This results in a narrowing of the speed differential between fastball and offspeed pitches, which could cause a hitter to guess wrong on the pitch, but still make very good contact if the pitch isn't located well.
What Does It Mean?: Could this be the game that sees James Loney break out? Probably not. Loney's issues are more about Loney than who he is facing. If anyone has a chance to continue his hot hitting, it's got to be Andre Ethier, but I think the fact that Gallardo doesn't change speeds very much could leave the door open for a good game by the Juans.
Wednesday, April 18: Zack Greinke (R)
The toughest pitcher the Dodgers have faced since the day before, Greinke will be a true challenge for the Dodgers. Greinke is in a contract year, coming off a spring training for the ages, has had a rough start to the 2012 season. Greinke has pulled a Reverse-Gallardo, starting his season off with a 7 inning, 7 strikeout, 0 walk, 4 hit performance against the Cardinals, then allowing 8 runs against the Cubs, also not making it out of the fourth inning. He's maintained his high strikeout total and has issued only one walk this year, which make his FIP and xFIP 0.94 and 1.59, respectively, despite a 6.75 ERA.
Greinke attacks the strike zone with a 93mph fastball (20.6%), 85mph slider (17%), 70mph curveball (9%), 93mph two-seam fastball (27%), and 91mph cutter (23%). What's interesting are the percentages of his fastballs: the four-seamer, two-seamer and cutter. Greinke has never thrown a cutter before, but it was reported before spring training that he would be working on it. He's always had an elite fastball and slider, Greinke is trying to incorporate much more movement into his rotation. It didn't work for Chad Billingsley, but Chad Billingsley has never been a Zack Greinke.
What To Watch For?: Against most elite pitchers, you hope your hitters can work the count, get the pitch count up, and get to the bullpen as soon as possible and take your chances against lesser pitchers. Zack Greinke doesn't let you do that. He's going to attack the strike zone with all twelve of his pitches, and hitters are going to have to try to catch a fastball early in the count, otherwise they'll be at Greinke's mercy.
What Does It Mean?: It means a long day for our right-handed hitters, and a longer day for Chris Capuano. Matt Kemp is going to have to make Greinke elevate his offspeed pitches if he wants to have a chance.
Thursday, April 19: Randy Wolf (L)
Thank goodness for Randy Wolf. After Gallardo and Greinke, Wolf is going to be like Christmas in April. Randy Wolf is still Randy Wolf, relying on a big looping 67mph curve (15%), an 80mph slider (13%) and an 87mph two-seam fastball (54%).
What To Watch For?:Wolf gets hitters out by getting them to chase offspeed pitches off the plate, and by lulling them to sleep with offspeed pitches enough to sneak a fastball by them. This pitching term is called "speeding up their bats". It usually works when a pitcher tries to establish a fastball and get the hitter caught up to the fastball, then throwing an offspeed pitch that is slow enough and with enough movement that the hitters is out in front. We've all seen this from any number of pitchers. Wolf works the opposite way. He'll get a hitter looking for his offspeed pitch, get him waiting back on the pitch to read the break, then throwing a fastball with two strikes. Because the hitter was trying to be patient and read the spin, by the time he realizes it's a fastball, even at 87 miles per hour, the best case scenario for the hitter is a foul ball, and worst case is a swinging strike.
What Does It Mean?: Fireworks aren't scheduled until Friday's game but we could see some here. With how hot Matt Kemp has been, Wolf could be a goat by the end of this game.

For NH's economic growth, there is something better than a casino
We are in this revenue- constrained situation because we have not been pursuing an obvious, and the better, revenue-generating alternative. That better alternative is manufacturing - advanced high-tech manufacturing - to drive tax revenues. To accomplish that, New Hampshire needs a comprehensive economic development plan, something it hasn't had since 2001.
Here are a few facts:
1. Manufacturing is the state's No. 1 industry, while business taxes account for approximately 23 percent of general fund revenues, the largest portion. Over the last five years, that percentage has been stagnant. To increase revenues for New Hampshire, we need to help existing manufacturers grow, and we need to recruit more advanced manufacturing and high tech businesses to move here and stay here.
2. New Hampshire is being out-invested and out-marketed by other states that are aggressively driving economic development. International and domestic firms seeking desirable landing places are responding to those states. As a consequence, New Hampshire's job growth for the past 12 months ranks 37th, and from 2011 to 2012 New Hampshire personal income grew by 2.8 percent, ranking New Hampshire 39th.
3. The University System and the Community College System have committed to doubling the number of science, technology, engineering and math graduates by 2025. The pipeline of talent will be filling up with few places to go in New Hampshire.
4. World markets love American products. Export sales growth translates to profit growth, which translates to more business tax revenue - but first we need the manufacturers here.
5. We have a wealth of private capital in New Hampshire, at least $13 billion in endowments, trusts and other funds, for example. One fund manager says, "I would like to see these funds invested in New Hampshire economic development, but there is no channel for us, so our investment dollars flow out of state."
6. Although energy rates are high in the Northeast, New Hampshire has the skills and incentives to help advanced manufacturing organizations approach "zero net energy" in their facilities.
Norm Fisk, director of the Regional Center for Advanced Manufacturing in Keene, writes in "How manufacturing will save NH" in the March issue of Business NH magazine, "The only way to create wealth is to grow it, mine it, or manufacture it." In the same article, Dennis Delay, economist for the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy, speaking of manufacturing's high wages says, "This has a huge effect on our economic future because, simply put, if we have a growth in higher paying jobs, those people can buy homes, products, and services. It brings about a positive ripple effect on New Hampshire's entire economy."
The cover story in the April 22 issue of Time magazine, "Made in the USA," is also inspiring, stating, ".perhaps the best economic news the U.S. has witnessed since the rise of Silicon Valley: made in the USA is making a comeback." Being an integral part of that comeback seems safer and smarter than relying on slots, blackjack and roulette.
Consider these questions:
Should we depend on the vagaries of a single casino, which represents an industry in trouble, or should we tie the state's fiscal future to numerous leading-edge high tech producers?
Would it be better to be burdened with the negative social ripple effects that accompany casino gambling, or would it be better to reap positive social benefits as a result of higher-paying jobs and more assured tax revenue flows?
Do we want to tarnish New Hampshire's enviable "brand" with gambling, or do we want to embellish that brand by being the prideful source of a growing array of exportable goods and services?
Should we enable casino amenities to cannibalize existing entertainment venues, restaurants and other small businesses, or enable New Hampshire's entire economy to flourish, as Delay stated?
Casino gambling may be the easy thing to do, but a plan based on advanced high-tech manufacturing is the best thing to do for New Hampshire citizens and state government.

Brawl breaks out over towed car; 3 arrested, 1 injured
Police encountered two separate fights involving five peopl when they arrived at 405 Bridge St. about 6:30 p.m.
Benjamin Garcia, 32, of 169 Beech Hill Road, allegedly had picked up Paul Lavalliere, 55, of 258 Cartier St. and was carrying him toward a concrete wall when officers stopped him.
Other officers were called to the scene who put a stop to another fight allegedly between Xiomara Arroyo, 29, of 405 Bridge St., Apt. A, Garrett Barry, 22, of 405 Bridge St., Apt. B, and a third unidentified person.
The fight began when Carlos Miranda-Arroyo, Arroyo's husband, accused Barry, his neighbor, of having Miranda-Arroya's car towed from the premises.
Miranda-Arroyo and Barry got into an argument outside the apartment building and police said Miranda-Arroyo punched his neighbor in the face.
Soon after, police said Barry saw Xiomara Arroyo fighting with his mother, Tammy Barry, 47, of 409 Cartier St. Xiomara Arroyo told police Garrett Barry then punched her in the face. Police said she was transported to the Elliot Hospital for treatment of significant, but not life-threatening injuries.
Police arrested Garcia, Garrett Barry and Miranda-Arroyo. Garcia is charged with felony riot, simple assault and resisting arrest. His bail is $5,000 cash/surety.

What is Vaginismus?
Join Vaginismus – A Private Pain, our support group on Facebook
Vaginismus is the instantaneous, involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles in anticipation of vaginal penetration. This reaction will occur if penetration is perceived as upsetting, painful (even before attempting it!), frightening or dangerous, making the body scream out loud, "NO ENTRY!" Occasionally, vaginismus will be caused by a physical problem such as a birth defect, or surgery. Either way, it is a vagina in panic…
There are two types of vaginismus — we treat both:
- Primary vaginismus is when the woman was never able to have vaginal penetrations. For the woman, being trapped within herself with the painful symptoms of vaginismus brings about the feelings of panic and anxiety, of being "stuck with it forever", of feeling inadequate, and "the only one who suffers from this…" Partners suffer as well, feeling frustrated, helpless, rejected and inadequate. Inaccurate sexual information and the lack of understanding of the woman's body will worsen the crisis, often leading to alienation; it is not unusual for some women in a relationship to suggest a breakup because they feel that they cannot "do what a woman should do." Primary vaginismus is the main focus of this page.
- Secondary vaginismus is when the woman lost the ability to have vaginal penetration/s. Causes include gynecologic surgery, Menopause, cancer treatment & radiation, emotional or relationship crisis, frequent painful urogenital infections, and Sexually Transmitted infections. Although these women will remember that penetrations used to be fine, they are now faced with painful/impossible vaginal penetration, making them feel just as isolated and hopeless as those with primary vaginismus. Typically speaking, a solution is simple and takes just a few treatment sessions. Contact us for further information, or to schedule an appointment.

This is Amnicon Falls State Park (fee/sticker needed)
This cache is setup with permission from Ranger/Manager William Eldred. Please thank the staff for allowing caches to be hidden within this park.
As you cross the covered bridge as you head towards the cache area.. you'll see Upper Falls to your left and the Lower Falls to your right and near the cache zone is Snake Pit Falls. Below is a brief tour of the island and surrounding area (all comments come from their 'Geology Walk' pamphlet - look for the tree-shaped numbered plaques)
#1 - This is the Upper Falls of the Amnicon River. The dark rock is basalt (solidified remnants of ancient lava flows)
#2 - A good view of the Lower Falls and the sandstone over which it flows. Millions of years ago great oceans covered much of Wisconsin.
#3 - At the left of the falls, behind the stairway, you can see the outstanding geologic feature of the park - the Douglas Fault.
#4 - Great glaciers moved across this area. Evidence of glacial erosion and deposition can be observed in several places in the park. Major rock types in the park are basalt and sandstone.. other rock varieties, especially if lare, were probably brought here by the glacier.
#5 - Examples of the layering of different lava flows and their colors
#6 - The best view of Snake Pit Falls is 25 feet ahead at the corner of the walk. It's a raging torrent during spring snowmelt.. just a trickle uring drought.
#7 - The ravine that has formed between you and the river is also the location of the fault.
#8 - Here at Amnicon Falls State Park is one of the few places where the Douglas Fault is exposed and can be studied. A deep plunge pool occurs at the base of the falls.
#9 - Now and Then Falls disappears during periods of low flow. This falls is located across the parking lot access road near the pit toilets.
Hope you enjoyed the history behind the area and the hunt. Enjoy!
~The Lil Otter
This is my very most favorite State Park in Wisconsin. Thanks Lil Otter for letting me adopt this cache. Whether I'm taking my Boy Scouts up o northern Minnesota, or heading there for a family vacation, we always stop at this park. The falls change with each passing season. Sometimes they're violent, sometimes they trickle...Rogheff

Shadow Welsh Secretary criticises 'another empty promise' on M4
Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith says the further cuts set out by the Chancellor represent 'an admission of failure to tackle the deficit.' And he criticised the lack of specific news on an M4 relief road.
He blamed the Welsh Secretary David Jones for that delay, saying his 'determination to block' borrowing powers for the Welsh Government was 'holding back Wales.'
Wales has already taken more pain than other parts of the country, with real wages falling £1600 since 2010, and the further cut announced today will mean that the Welsh Government's budget is down by more than 10 per cent since the coalition came to power. Families and businesses in Wales need action now to get growth back into the economy, generate jobs and protect living standards. Instead, we heard yet another empty promise on the M4 relief road but still no detail on when work might start.
– Owen Smith MP, Shadow Welsh Secretary
What we should have heard from the Chancellor is that the Welsh Government will get the borrowing powers that were agreed last October, so that it can bring forward investment and get people back to work. The Welsh Secretary's determination to block these extra powers is holding back investment, and holding back Wales.

Today in history... Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr. was born today, August 17th, 1887, in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica.
While I'm certainly not holding my breath for a biopic on the life of the controversial entrepreneur, Black Nationalist, Pan-Africanist, and powerful orator, I will, however, share the below 2 1/2 hour PBS documentary on Garvey, titled Marcus Garvey: Look For Me In The Whirlwind, directed by Stanley Nelson, which aired in 2000, and is currently on DVD.
A disclaimer: The film is not without its critics, who lambaste it for its factual inaccuracies and omissions. For example, READ THIS exhaustive critique of the film by, none-other-than, Garvey's son, Dr Julius W. Garvey.
However, I believe it's still the most comprehensive video documentation available on the man, his life and legacy. Of course, supplementing your viewing of the documentary with the written word is always encouraged.
Watch the entire documentary, Marcus Garvey: Look For Me In The Whirlwind, below:
CareyCarey | August 20, 2011 11:47 AM
I didn't watch the documentary nor do I want to drop salt on Garvey's achievements, but excuse me if I am wrong, but in one of the podcasts didn't Sergio say his people are from Jamaica? Now look at Garvy, doesn't he kiind of look like Sergio? Well maybe a young Sergio.
Here's how he looked in the late forties http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vkXaHmSbpc&NR=1

Thanks Tambay for posting this. I totally agree that "Of course, supplementing your viewing of the documentary with the written word is always encouraged."
As far as documentaries IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE that documentaries are NOT fact and are shaped by the director's vision, whatever that may be. Documentaries are also meant to entertain in some fashion. Much like Wikipedia is a good jumping off point for more info, lots of documentaries are also good jumping off points to gain more info.

Dignitaries toured the Turner Job Corps Campus, admiring its new Commercial Driver's License Truck Driving School and pediatric clinic. County Commission Chairman Jeff Sinyard even issued a proclamation, recognizing the center's impact in the area.
"Job Corps is the best kept training secret in the country," said Center Director Jennifer Young "A recent study proved that for every dollar put into the Job Corps, the tax payers receive two dollars and two cents back."
Turner Job Corps will be having fortieth anniversary events all year. The Albany Center, however, is only 37 years old.

"We're in a true bind," says board member Jeff Garrety. "We couldn't believe when this bozo showed up to lead worship."
The quirk in the bylaws gave Chandler sole authority to hire and fire the worship leader and to define contract terms. The contract includes a severability clause of $150,000 if MacNerny is fired before two years. It also specifies that he must lead worship on Sunday mornings and any other time the church meets. Lawyers informed the board that the contract is legitimate and must be respected.
On a recent Sunday morning, MacNerny opened the service with a rendition of "Amazing Grace" in which he encouraged audience members to make "Martian noises." Few people joined in. He then segued into "This Old Man, he played one, he played knick-knack on my thumb" and seemed unfazed by people's non-participation.
The church has tried to work around MacNerny by cranking the volume of everyone else on stage and having other musicians wear brightly colored clothing. Still, it's hard to look past his signature look which he describes on his web page as "Where exactly am I?"
"It saps part of your soul to show up Sunday morning and see Bill in his undersized cowboy hat, strumming the ukelele," says one man. "A lot of people are trying out other churches."
Some want the church to pay $150,000 just to get rid of MacNerny. Others want to make the best of it for two years and say it could bolster small group participation.
After making a series of weird noises he describes as "me entering the room," MacNerny says in a phone interview that he is happy to be at Family Life Center because it offers a built-in audience and less reliance on tips. Street performing taught him to hold people's attention, a skill he hopes to employ at the church, along with "making sure people get their proper amounts of of gamma rays, and also consider poultry ownership," he says.
Chandler, in between ministry assignments and living in Alabama, says he thinks MacNerny makes a good fit for the church, and for the board members. •]]>
MANSFIELD, Ohio — Last week Molly Parker posted a stunning photo of a three-tier cake with elaborate icing decorations, along with the caption, "A little something I made for the fam in my free time …"
"It was so typical that I forgot to be annoyed," says a friend who like others in their church says Molly's 'Facebragging' amounts to a constant wave of self-congratulatory posts about her life. "If you want to learn patience and slowness to anger, do yourself a favor and friend Molly Parker."
Friends use her posts as a gauge of how spiritual they are feeling that day.
"If I'm upset by Molly's posts, I know I need to draw closer to God," says one. "If her Facebragging rolls off my back, I'm good."
Parker often posts family portraits with captions like "Best Kids EVER!"
Mostly it's just updates throughout the day:
"Just scored 100% on an online IQ test! How did I do that?!"
"Having your 4-year-old hug your neck and call you the best Mommy in the universe — Priceless."
"Off to the salon."
"We call it PerfectWorld," says a friend from the women's ministry. "Only Molly lives there. The rest of us get to learn spiritual lessons."
Last month, Molly's Facebook friends were treated to the saga of her 7-year-old who was in a Bible quiz competition. Posts read: "Won church! Going to district!" "Won district! Going to regionals!" "Won regionals!!! Going to state!!!" Each photo showed the child wearing a large medal around her neck.
"In person, Molly is really caring. It's just online that her Facebragging side comes out," says the nursery coordinator who often works with her. "You want to sit her down and say, 'Do you know how these are coming across?'"
Even the candid photos Parker takes are otherworldly. A recent post showed her 2-year-old coming down a slide wearing knickers and a vest and with every hair in place. The caption: "Park time with Liam."
"When I go to the park my kids look like beach bums. Hers look like royal heirs," says one church mom.
Photos of lunch are likewise perfect — a sandwich cut in triangles, with a curly toothpick and lettuce emerging just so from the sides, colorized with Instagram. The caption: "Enjoying a quick lunch with Brianna."
"I quote First Corinthians 13 to myself a lot," says a longtime friend with a sigh. "'Love is not irritable, keeps no record of wrongs, blah blah blah.'"
Parker often posts about her husband. One photo showed a new set of earrings with the caption, "He loves me so!"
Another post read, "My wonderful hubby got a major promotion! No one deserves it more! Congratulations, honey! You rock the world."
Then there's the post that became an instant classic: "My hot husband is also my most cherished friend!"
"We love that one," says one woman. "When my husband comes home from work I say, 'Is that my hot husband and most cherished friend?' He says, 'That must be my perfect wife.' It's entertaining."
Even Parker's spiritual posts get under people's skin.
"Precious time with the Lord today," she wrote recently. The next day it was, "Blueberry scones, hot cocoa, a warm fire and my favorite devotional = Perfect morning."
"For a while I thought she was kidding and had a wicked sense of humor," says one acquaintance. "Then I realized she was playing it straight. She means this stuff."
One friend started posting downer updates immediately after Molly's so the two are side by side in people's feeds. After Molly posted, "Such an amazing time with friends today, I almost can't bear to go to Hawaii next week!" this friend posted, "My 9-year-old finished a Mickey Mouse puzzle this morning. I am so proud."
When Molly posted, "Kids don't get much cuter than this," the friend posted, "Found glue between my son's toes today. Looks like it's been there a while."
"Molly never mentioned it. She doesn't seem to read anyone else's posts," the friend says. "I have concluded that God gave her a Facebook account to test people's character."
People continue to check Molly's posts out of morbid curiosity.
"It's an exercise in 'How is my life inferior today?'" says one. "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger."
She recalls checking Facebook during a hard day at work and seeing Molly's post: "It's official – Girls' Day Out! Shopping, movie and gelato!!!"
"I felt like punching the wall," she said. "I can handle having a less-than-perfect family and a non-gorgeous husband, but to feel like an idiot for working a regular job? It takes the life out of you."
To release the tension, friends have catalogued their favorite "Molly posts" including:
"Giving away slightly used ball gowns. Anyone?"
"God continues to bless … just because."
"I just won AGAIN on Words with Friends – someone stop me!"
"To my Mikey-Mike, the most handsome man on the planet, bar nobody."
"I consider Molly a friend and a God-given thorn in my side," says one woman. "If friends are supposed to spur you to godliness, then she's the best friend I've ever had." •]]>
Then he opened a Twitter account.
Now Royal's random and frequent tweets are dimming his once-sterling reputation.
"We loved the idea of Pastor Royal tweeting nuggets of wisdom throughout the day," says Carissa Black, one of several young staff members who urged Royal to embrace the new medium. "But he's run away with it. It's having the opposite effect we hoped for."
Royal's first tweets were conservative — scripture verses, previews of upcoming sermons and reminders about church events. Then, over time, his pace picked up considerably and his subject matter broadened.
"The tweets became less about wisdom and more about what he was thinking at any given moment," says one follower. "The quality went down fast."
Royal offered such glittering insights as, "Why can't lite buttered popcorn be as good as regular buttered popcorn? Someone fix this!"
Then, "Sometimes I feel like I'm not in my own body but just practicing somehow."
And, "Saw a cute dog just now. Cute."
And, "God loves me even when I watch Rockford Files reruns until midnight."
"At first I thought it must be a different John Royal," says an area pastor who has long admired Royal. "It was like, this is the guy who leads the mayor's breakfast? This is what's going on inside his head?"
Royal's reputation as a quiet, thoughtful leader has taken a hit even among people who know him.
"It was weird to see him tweeting two or three times per hour," says a member of Royal's church. "I always pictured him studying the Bible and receiving grand visions of what God will do in our city. Now I know he likes ice cream before bed, gets excited about chicken dinner deals and wishes he had a better lawnmower."
Royal lately has tweeted at what some consider inappropriate moments. Last week during the 9 o'clock Sunday morning service, people's phones buzzed with tweet notifications. They realized Royal had just tweeted while preaching a sermon: "Just blew my second point. Oh well."
"I couldn't believe it," says one man. "I turned to my wife and said, 'This guy's a Twitter addict. He needs help.'"
The next day Royal tweeted at 3 a.m. "Advice: Don't have a second glass of milk before bed."
"It ruined my sleep," says one woman who stopped following Royal at that point.
The church staff is in a panic. Royal now spends much of his day tracking retweets and followers. He was recently passed over to chair the citywide prayer meeting. That post will be filled by the Lutheran pastor who, coincidentally, has no presence on social media. Even the mayor has asked about some of Royal's more bizarre tweets.
"People want to know, 'Is he serious? Is this some sort of illustration of how diminishing social media can be?'" says one staffer. "We don't know how to spin it."
And Royal's missives keep coming.
"Tweeting at red light. Oops. Sorry, occifer."
"The bank teller just said something profound. Wish I could remember what it was."
"If I was 20 again I know exactly what I'd do."
"My wife just said — ah, forget it."
Staff members are begging him to shut down his account and put the tweeting experiment behind him before he does permanent damage to his reputation. Royal could not be reached by phone for comment, but his secretary said he could "almost certainly be reached by tweeting him a direct message any time of day." •]]>
"I thought everyone else was keeping up the discussion," says one woman who successfully 'Liked' fifty-five posts and finished two games of Words With Friends during the 90-minute gathering. "I guess no one was."
Members were so engrossed in texting, posting and Tweeting that it did not occur to them that nobody was talking, let alone leading the meeting. Silence descended on the room as members sat tapping screens, occasionally giggling and typing messages.
"I went into the kitchen at one point to get snacks, and it did seem awfully quiet," says one man. "Everyone had their heads down. I thought we were praying."
One man had just bought a new app and was eager to try it out.
"I was tearing it up on Tiny Wings and thought everyone would understand," he says. "I remember walking into a door, but I'm not sure what building it was — maybe small group or Bed, Bath and Beyond. I don't have a visual for it anymore."
Some people even texted and messaged each other while in the same room.
"I was having a great conversation with Karen on Facebook and didn't notice that she was sitting three feet away from me," says one woman. "She messaged me, 'Oh, I'm in small group,' and I messaged her back, 'Really? Me too!'"
Only later did members confirm that a meeting had taken place by piecing together tweets, texts and Facebook posts.
"It says on Facebook that I checked in at their house, so I must have been there," says one woman. "Facebook doesn't lie."
Others looked at their timelines and Twitter feeds and saw posts like "Heading to small group" and "Picking up chips and salsa" at around the same time. But none have any memory of what happened after that.
"I think I ate a plate of something, but I was pretty engrossed in Fruit Ninja, so I didn't really notice," says one man. "It may have been brownie bites."
One woman and her husband arrived home afterward, sat in their garage, looked at each other and said, "Did we just go to small group?"
"It was a little eerie," says the wife. "The only thing I can recall is seeing my iPhone screen. Which, by the way, have you checked out this app?"
Members group-texted each other afterward and pledged to actually look at each other next time they meet.
"We felt kind of bad," says one man. "I told them if I forget to pay attention next time, just Facetime me." •]]>

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras — Greg and Lisa Nillson of East Texas started sponsoring Carlita from Honduras in June. Two months later they bought the hut next door to where Carlita lives.
"This is a key relationship for us," says Greg. "We don't want a long-distance thing. We want to do life with this family."
The Nillsons' new hut, which cost them a few hundred dollars, is made of wood planks and pieces of scrap tin. Greg brought his camping equipment and they are busy becoming "part of the neighborhood" with visits every couple of months. Lisa is planting a garden and hosting a weekly "girls' night out." Greg is fixing up the hut and wants to organize a neighborhood work day to clean the place up.
"It could look a lot nicer around here if everyone just pitched in," he says optimistically.
Carlita, their sponsor child, fled the first time she saw them.
"She just didn't recognize us," says Lisa. "We look different in the photo we sent her."
Carlita's mother Fabiola was surprised to see the Nillsons at her door one morning. They invited her to their "house-warming" party.
"I'm not sure what 'Save the date' means," says Fabiola in Spanish, still puzzling over the perfumed invitation card.
Lisa says Carlita's family has been "a little stand-offish and that's fine. They want to know if we're in this for the long haul, and rest assured, we are."
Greg is still trying to keep the roof from leaking during tropical downpours, but "standing in the doorway seeing Carlita walk off to school each morning makes it all worth it."
He also says he's getting to know Carlita's father, who hangs around the hut most of the day.
"I want to start an accountability group with the guys in the neighborhood and really get into each others' lives," Greg says.
The Nillsons have been seen peering through the fence in the play yard at school, waving at Carlita.
"My friends say, 'Tell your sponsor parents to go away. It's annoying,'" says Carlita, who prefers receiving occasional care packages to the new, closer contact.
The Nillsons often drop by her hut, twenty feet away, offering cookies and wanting to forge relational connections with Carlita's family. They are quietly considering buying the entire neighborhood and starting an HOA, to put basic living standards in place.
"A good HOA won't tell you what color to paint your house, but prohibiting use of the main pathway as a latrine might serve us all well," says Greg.
The Nillsons say they will fight through every difficulty, for Carlita's sake.
"Making this our second home is our way of saying, 'You mean more to us than just a monthly contribution,'" Lisa says. "We've put our stake into the ground. This is real."
For their part, Carlita's parents are considering moving to the other side of the neighborhood and hoping the Nillsons won't find them. •]]>
"They tell me, 'Thank you for being a pioneer in our movement,'" Hodges says. "I have no idea what they mean."
The flow of appreciation began after she started driving the nondescript Volvo wagon, which bears several bumper stickers. One sticker shows a multi-colored flag, another a pink equal sign, both of which Hodges found "very cheery."
"I left them on the car because the bright colors remind me of my flower garden," she says. "Bill used to love flowers."
Hodges now receives a hero's welcome from complete strangers, but does not know why. One man recently hugged her in the parking lot and said that if a woman her age was willing to stand up for equality then he was going to tell all his colleagues and friends the truth about himself.
"I just wished him well and off he went," Hodges says, shaking her head.
Many who congratulate her have an "unusual appearance," she says.
"It's the oddest thing — I can't tell if they are men or women," Hodges says. "Maybe I'm losing my sight. Some look like women with men's haircuts, and some look like boys trying to be girls."
Occasionally, a well-wisher asks Hodges to give regards to her partner. Hodges expresses surprise that people would guess that she still plays bridge.
"They're so sweet about it," she says. "I tell them I certainly will wish Betty well, and that we've been at it for twenty years through ups and downs. The biggest part is staying committed."
Hodges figures well-wishers are drawn to her choice of a Volvo wagon and think she is promoting a better environment or automobile safety.
"They always thank me for promoting equality," she says. "Maybe there's a resurgence of patriotism these days. That's very encouraging." •]]>
ROCKVILLE, Md. — Pastor Darren Parker of Covenant Church welcomed his second sermon illustration on Thursday, a baby girl named Allie May who weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz. and promises to provide years of funny anecdotes for her father's weekly messages.
"I am so overjoyed at little Allie May's arrival and can't wait to use every detail of her life in stories I tell from the pulpit," says Parker sitting next to his wife's bed. "What an awesome privilege."
As with their first daughter Lauren, whatever Allie does or says will now provide a rich resource for Parker's ministry. The Parkers even chose the name "Allie May" because it flows so well off the tongue.
"I'm especially looking forward to those precious toddler years which are so full of new experiences and potential illustrations," says Parker. "Those are always special times for me."
He fondly recalls older daughter Lauren's early years when he reaped several dozen amusing examples from her learning to ride a tricycle, not to mention the funny and insightful things she said during family prayer time.
Parker often brings along a scratch pad to take notes on each of his children's actions and utterances which might support a point in his messages. He then delves into the meaning of even the most minute word or gesture. Recently, while out to ice cream with Lauren, Parker jotted extensive observations about her decision-making.
"She was conflicted about ordering orange sherbet or rocky road, and she stood there pondering the choice for quite some time," he says. "In the end she chose rocky road not for the flavor but because there's 'more stuff in it.' What a powerful lesson for all of us."
Even Allie May's birthing process was fruitful for him.
"I got a month's worth of illustrations in the birthing room alone," he says, referring to his note pad. His favorite moment was when "Allie May came out of the womb and paused just a moment, as if surveying the room and taking us all in before letting out her first cry. There's something so meaningful in that."
Having a second child, he believes, will open up a major new supply of much-needed anecdotes.
"I'm already looking forward to teaching her to climb a tree and the profound things I know she'll say as she meets life's challenges," he says.
His first Allie May-based sermon will draw on her birth itself. The title: "Embracing New Pathways." •]]>
SALEM, Ore. — When Dana Carpenter attended Hope Church recently, she was curious about the elderly woman sitting on stage smiling and applauding throughout the service. A nearby attendee sighed and answered, "That would be Church Mom."
"Church Mom" is Adelle Frederickson, a longtime church member and volunteer who lately has taken upon herself an unusual self-appointed role. Citing "parental prerogative," Adelle now involves herself in virtually every aspect of church life.
"She's everywhere, and she's pushy," says one attendee who remembers the first time Adelle latched onto the "Church Mom" persona while organizing an Easter luncheon.
"She seemed overwhelmed. She was looking over everyone's shoulder and basically micro-managing," the man says. "Finally she threw her hands up and said, 'I feel like the church mom.'"
Volunteers laughed and say it broke the tension. They called Adelle "Church Mom" the rest of the day but didn't know she would make a career of it.
"It was nice that once, but we had no idea it would go on," says one woman who witnessed the transformation.
At the next church gathering Adelle burst in waving her hands in the air and announced, "Church Mom is here! Church Mom is here!" People laughed nervously and say it was the beginning of a year-long nightmare.
"She changed from a quiet, agreeable grandmother to this overshadowing presence," says a member who has known Adelle for years. "It's like she saw her chance to be someone important. A whole different personality came out."
Soon Adelle was dropping in on board meetings and directing business, always starting with the now-familiar declaration: "As the Church Mom …"
"When she finally left we would get back to work, but it was strange," says one elder. "The Bible says not to rebuke older people, so we sat there wondering exactly what to do."
People say Adelle comes into small group leaders meetings and other gatherings declaring, "Church Mom is here!" and "Not without Church Mom, you don't!" Sometimes she gives longwinded advice. Other times she simply blesses the gathering and leaves. She even uses her self-designated status to steer church business, sometimes taking the floor during business meetings, identifying herself as "Church Mom" and pronouncing her opinions with authority. People seem afraid to challenge her.
"If she's Church Mom, what does that make the rest of us, Church Kids?" one man asks.
When challenged about her new role Adelle goes from sugary-sweet to "sort of nasty," says a woman who asked her to tone it down one time.
"She glared at me and said, 'When you've mothered a congregation for as long I have, you will know of what I speak.'"
Adelle even inserts herself into Sunday morning services, taking the mic after the announcements, introducing herself as "Church Mom," and giving a little homily about whatever is on her mind. When an elder approached Adelle on stage and invited her to sit with everyone else she snapped at him, "Is this how you treat your mother?" He slunk back to his pew.
And so it goes.
Pastor John Westford is now talking with Adelle's out-of-town children to see if they will have a gentle conversation with their mother about finding her place in the church. Westford believes Adelle "would probably lose the Church Mom thing if her grandkids lived nearby."
Until then the congregation remains subject to her smothering presence.
"You wonder if we angered God and are being punished for something," says one man. "Maybe it's time to call a churchwide meeting — if Church Mom will let us." •]]>
"I'm the first one of us to get married, so this is a big deal for all of us," says the 22-year-old associate youth pastor. "My friends and I have speculated for years what sex would be like. How could I not report back and share some advice?"
But the post, shared with a closed Facebook group, generated chatter on Kayley's and Jordy's timelines. Friends and girlfriends of Jordy's buddies were soon congratulating the couple on an "awesome first night together." Some appended Song of Solomon references and appropriate emoticons.
Kayley was mortified when she woke up and started browsing Facebook.
"It was like we had made love in public," she says. "I couldn't bring myself to even respond."
Jordy, too, was surprised by how quickly word spread and is thankful he didn't share even more specifics. He asked friends to keep congratulations to themselves while it remains a sensitive topic. By lunchtime Kayley was demanding that they go through a Boundaries course together and promising "there may not be a second time" unless Jordy commits to never share bedroom details again.
For his part, Jordy says he didn't mean for everyone to be in on the experience, but still believes it is a testimony of God's goodness.
"We waited, we did everything right and that really paid off," he says. "I don't mind people knowing how great it was. People should be jealous of the married sex we're having."
It also solved one burning question.
"I've been wondering what our first big fight would be about," Jordy says. "I guess this answers that." •]]>

I didn't have any problem setting up the SoundTouch. The secrets to ease of use is loading the SoundTouch app on you iPhone or iPad, selecting your six channels, and, making sure your computer's Energy Saver is set to "never".
So why not 5 stars? Although the iPad / iPhone app controls the speaker unit(s) and the SoundTouch comes with a remote control to do the same, the speaker unit does not have the same song back, song pause, or song advance song buttons; in the event it is more convenient to just reach out to do so. …

After I set it up, she is able to play 6 different streams (NPR, WQXR, WKCR, WFMU, et cetera). There's nothing else on the market like it. The person that works at the Apple Store didn't understand what it did; I had to go online to Bose's website to learn its functionality. It can act as an AirPlay speaker from iTunes, it can act as a stand alone Internet radio, it can play playlists off of your mac without your interacting with the mac if you have the SoundTouch app running. It sounds fantastic. The remote is very easy to operate. I highly recommend it. …

I saw the demo in the Bose store and I was very impressed... it was SO slick that I dropped 900 bucks on it right there. I'm a big fan of Bose products and was excited they finally had the "Apple TV for audiophiles" Overall I say it's not worth the money YET.
Set up was easy enough although you have to connect it to your computer before it will find your network...seemed a bit odd... I digress.
Lots of radio channels available
Air Play is great (when the speaker is on line)
Easy to swap out pre-sets quickly
Great volume control on the device and the remote, [will get really loud but also can turn it right down so it's very very low]
Looks great
And obviously frigging FANTASTIC sound quality you would expect from Bose!
Connection/software isn't stable [despite moving it and my wireless router (AirPort Extreme) with in 6 feet of each other, re booting, changing wifi settings etc, it hasn't improved, It will go off line for minutes to hours at at time. Very frustrating. Often when I turn it on it can't find the WiFi network I re boot my router and the SoundTouch and sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. I have apple TV and have NO issues with connectivity and that's streaming video, Audio should be much less of a bandwidth hog] This is the biggest downfall of this device...
The volume control on the App is clunky, you can't adjust the volume accurately (ok i'm fussy but it's annoying)
There is no "mute" button on the app to silence it for a phone call
Often the app can't find the device (Likely because the speaker can't be found on the wifi network (see above))
navigating your music library isn't as slick or easy as it could be.
I would say once they have a new more stable software platform for this, it will be worth every penny but for now save your money until the bugs are all worked out. …

Great product!

Airplay offers the advantage of being a Was really on the fence about Bluetooth vs Airplay (i.e this speaker or a different one). Airplay offers the advantage of being able to use it for both audio and video, while Bluetooth is strictly audio-only. However, after reading some reviews on Airplay, it appeared as though Airplay didn't always work so good for some people.
After stewing for a while finally decided to give Airplay a try with this speaker. Well, it turns out all my fears were unfounded -- Airplay works perfect and this speaker does too! Setup was a breeze (though there was a firmware update for this speaker that took a few minutes to complete). The sound is awesome. Perhaps the only nit-pick is that there's about a second delay between starting/stopping a song and when the music stops on the speaker. I assume this is probably due to buffering the speaker does or something. Anyhow, it's minor.
When watching a movie and Airplay'ing it to the speaker, the video and audio seemed to be synchronized very well (this was something some of the Airplay reviews I read said was problematic).
No complaints! …

News: Tyler, The Creator Gets Some "Punk'd" Revenge W/ Kidnapping Prank [Video]
Saturday, Apr 21, 2012 10:32AM
After falling victim to MTV's "Punk'd" prank show in early April, Odd Future's Tyler, the Creator got to turn the tables on United Kingdom pop artists The Wanted this week.
For his prank, Tyler recruited a child actress to play a kidnapped victim.
The story begins innocently enough: an adolescent girl greets the Wanted guys on the set of their "Chasing The Sun" music video, with her admiring father watching on. Soon, however, the father can't find his "daughter," and as The Wanted drive away, we, the viewer, realize that something's a little fishy when a policeman pulls the boy band's touring van over. Things gets much more serious when the little girl hops out of their van, and while Tom tries to explain that no abduction has taken place, a cop counters with, "I can't understand a word you are saying right now!" (Billboard)
Tyler fell victim to the MTV show's gags earlier this month.
Tyler, the Creator is usually the one pulling the pranks, but the joke was on him on last night's "Punk'd." "Jackass" stars Bam Margera and Wee-Man fooled the Odd Future leader into thinking he was going to a charity event for the Tony Hawk Foundation. When he got there, they had him turn on the grill in a food truck to heat up a tortilla. After he was finished, the truck burst into a ball of flames and one guy caught on fire. A shocked Tyler snapped photos on his phone and jumped in the back of a flatbed truck, while the founder of the charity blamed him for leaving the gas on and causing the destruction. (Rap-Up)
Despite becoming victimized on the show, Tyler promoted the episode on Twitter.
"IM ON PUNK'D TONIGHT THO, WATCH THAT!!!!!!!!' MTV #punkd," he tweeted Thursday (April 5).
"WATCH PUNKD IM ON NOW" (Tyler, the Creator's Twitter)
The rapper is known for pulling his own pranks on the new "Loiter Squad" television series.
"Loiter Squad" is an American sketch comedy television series starring Tyler, The Creator, Jasper Dolphin, Taco Bennett, and Lionel Boyce, with appearances from various other members of the Los Angeles hip hop collective Odd Future. Jeff Tremaine, Shanna Zablow, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Lance Bangs and Nick Weidenfeld are the show's executive producers. (Wikipedia)

Arts and Culture Network programme will promote district of St Albans' heritage and attract more visitors
2:49pm Tuesday 25th February 2014 in News By Rebecca Perring, Senior Reporter
Plans to provide cultural experiences, promote heritage and attract visitors to St Albans district have been put in place.
At a meeting on Thursday, February 27 the district council cabinet will be presented with a three-year programme, which is aimed at building a cohesive community and supporting businesses.
Running until 2016, the programme has been put together by the council following discussions with local community groups through the district's newly-established Arts and Culture Network.
The programme is focused on a number of core annual events, including Albantide, the Food and Drink Festival and St Albans' Christmas events. There will also be a summer music festival in 2015.
This core annual programme will be supplemented by one-off events each year, which will include a Summer Sounds music event with DJ workshops, organised by and for young people to take place in July.
In 2015, the council will be involved in the national celebrations of the 800 year anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta.
Councillor Beric Read, portfolio holder for community engagement and localism at the council said: "The council's events programme has been put together, after consultation with local community, arts and cultural groups, with specific aims in mind.
"Not only will the programme promote our local heritage and provide new cultural experiences for the community, it will also help develop the visitor and local economies. It involves the Council working closely with local groups and through local partnerships to help deliver the many events for the community."

There has long been accusations that Japanese vigilantes in the aftermath of the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake massacred thousands of Koreans and this Korean researcher says he has found photographic evidence to help prove it:
A South Korean historian on Sunday released photos apparently showing Korean victims of a Japanese massacre following a devastating earthquake nine decades ago.
The release comes just a few days after officials in Tokyo decided to remove references to the mass killing from high school textbooks.
Jeong Seong-gil, the honorary director of Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center Museum, presented to Yonhap News Agency photos dated Sept. 1, 1923, the day that the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred. The disaster is named after the region that includes Tokyo. [Yonhap]
I really haven't researched this issue enough to make a good assessment on what happened, but the photographic evidence though persuasive, I do not think is a "smoking gun" because there is no way to know if the bodies are in fact Koreans. They could just be dead civilians pulled from homes and piled up for survivors to look for their dead family members. That however doesn't explain why their bottoms are exposed as they are laid out on display.

Waka Flocka, French Montana Drop 'Hell on Earth 2K11′
Southern rhymer Waka Flocka Flame and Bronx native French Montana trade bars on 'Hell on Earth 2K11,' — a 1996 classic 'Hell on Earth (Front Lines)' instrumental, made popular by Queens duo Mobb Deep. The song, which premiered Wednesday night (Oct. 12) on Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show, also features a welcomed new verse from Mobb's Prodigy.
While Waka is known for his heavily crunk-influenced sound, this tune is a mellow departure. Montana commences with, "It's hell on earth/ God gon' help your n—-, help yourself first/ F— Forbes, only thing working for us/ Cut the middleman out and deal straight with the sauce/ I been gon' for a second, the street missing me."
The 'Flockaveli' creator comes in on the chorus, putting a twist on the famed rap group's moniker, 'We mobb when we deep," then rhymes, "I met this girl in New York, say she from Lefrak/ Callin' sayin' wantin' s— back/ My reply back, 'You know how it goes'/ Shorty kick a door, I got robbed before/ Then I bounce back cookin' lyrical crack."
Prodigy closes out the song, spitting lines reminiscent of his early days. "I'm quality 16, dopamine flow/ Bottle pop, rap pills and Moscato/ So many songs I got thousands kid/ Yeah your hardrive gon' need a thousand gigs/ Feet up VIP, loungin'…"
Flocka and Montana are reportedly crafting a joint LP, however, this track isn't confirmed to be on the new effort. The forthcoming project is titled 'Lock Out' and will see 'I Want It' as the first single. No release date has been given for the album as of yet.
French Montana is also working towards releasing his first solo LP, 'Excuse My French.' He'll appear on Pusha T's first solo studio effort, 'Fear of God II: Let Us Pray,' set for Nov. 8, alongside Meek Mill and Juicy J on 'Body Work.'

National news in brief, 3/22
District of Columbia
Scientists find clue in heart attacks
WASHINGTON — Too often, people pass a cardiac checkup only to collapse with a heart attack days later. Now scientists have found a clue that one day may help doctors determine whether a heart attack is imminent, in hopes of preventing it.
Most heart attacks happen when fatty deposits in an artery burst open, and a blood clot then forms to seal the break. If the clot is too big, it blocks off blood flow.
The problem: Today's best tests can't predict when that's about to happen.
Wednesday, Scripps researchers reported a new lead — by searching people's blood for cells that appear to flake off the lining of a severely diseased artery.
U.S. interviews 13 with ties to Iran
WASHINGTON — Authorities have interviewed at least 13 people since 2005 with ties to Iran's government who were seen taking pictures of New York City landmarks, a senior New York Police Department official said Wednesday.
Police consider these instances to be pre-operational surveillance, bolstering their concerns that Iran or its proxy terrorist group could be prepared to strike inside the United States, if provoked by escalating tensions between the two countries.
Mitchell Silber, the NYPD's director of intelligence analysis, told Congress that New York's international significance as a terror target and its large Jewish population make the city a likely place for Iran and Hezbollah to strike.
Penn State provides abuse counseling
STATE COLLEGE — Penn State says it will provide free child-abuse counseling services to alleged victims of former university assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The university on Wednesday described the arrangement with Praesidium Inc., an abuse risk management company, as a way to fulfill a commitment made by the school president and trustees' chairman after Sandusky was arrested in November.
Sandusky is on house arrest awaiting a mid-May trial on charges he sexually abused 10 boys over 15 years. He denies the allegations.
The counseling services are confidential and will be provided by counselors from outside Penn State.
'Kony' director had brief psychosis
SAN DIEGO — The director of a wildly popular video about brutal African warlord Joseph Kony has been diagnosed with brief psychosis and is expected to stay in the hospital for weeks, his wife said Wednesday.
Jason Russell, 33, was hospitalized last week in San Diego after witnesses saw him pacing naked on a sidewalk, screaming incoherently and banging his fists on the pavement. He was in his underwear when police arrived.
His outburst came after the video's sudden success on the Internet brought heightened scrutiny to Invisible Children, the group he co-founded in 2005 to fight African war atrocities.

Are there no Neolithic Agents of Disease now?
Is there no such thing as NADS any more? Today's post by Stephan Guyenet addresses seed oils. It seems that his focus has been on causes of obesity and he is taking down the NADs one at a time. Are we confusing the causes of obesity with the causes of the diseases of civilization? I am certainly confused. There were some good posts asking about inflammation that he may answer in the future. What do you think about seed oils in the diet? I thought there was plenty of evidence that these contributed to inflammation, etc.

It might not make you fat, but it sure as heck can make you sick.
I don't think Stephan is letting the the O6/O3 ratio off the hook at all.
The following is my interpretation:
He's saying that he can't find any evidence that O6 fats, as the dominant fat/oil source in industrialized food like substances/combos is any more fat promoting than animal based fats would be if replaced as the dominant fat in frankenfoods.
The door is still wiiiiiiiiiiiide open re: dominant O6 in diet and diseases of civilization and for other industrial ingredients contributing to same, as well as the whole or sum of all the industrialized ingredients resulting in fat promotion.
Other possible pictures exist -
For instance, if O6 seed oils in industrialized food combos (think inner grocerstore aisles and all kinds of meal bars, for instance) were replaced with animal source fat, do we think those products would be inherently less fattening?
On the other hand, might it be possible, in one of these bars that is say all fruit, some macadamias and lots of sugar, stuck together with animal fat instead of seed oil fat,that it would infact STILL promote fatness but be far less implicated with autoimmune disorders and some other DOC?
We'll say for the sake of argument that the same bar exists with only fruit, macadamia nuts, sugar and soybean oil. Might this bar also equally promote fatness, but also put one at greater risk for some autoimmune and other DOC?
And lets not forget about all the additional soup of chemicals in both bars, independent of either type of fat, that may be fat and disease promoting.
I agree that FAT (basically of any kind) +SUGAR is an excellent fattening combo from a food reward standpoint as well as a caloric and carbohydrate/insulin theory standpoint, nevermind which kind of fat it is.
From an autoimmune (and other DOC as well) promotion standpoint, I'd stick with animal based fat. :)
Plenty of them. Fibromyalgia, MS, ALS, AD, SLE, Guillian Barre, Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis......plenty of them but no one is talking about them Their incidences are growing at exponential rates. And they are commonly seen with other neolithic diseases.
Metabolic Disease is a main cause of diseases of civilization of which obesity is one of them. Modern oils are the cause of much disease with their high PUFA levels.
To me, the whole issue is irrelevant. Since I have switched from a vegetarian diet, I have no use for seed oils. There is plenty of fat for cooking attached to meats. I used to be a huge fan of butter, and rarely eat it anymore either. Soybean oil would not add any variety or interest to my diet at this point.
Having read his post, I think all he is talking about is the fattening (or not) effects of seed oils - nothing at all about inflammatory effects. So as far as I can see, he isn't discussing or addressing neolithic agents of disease here.

During our playtest, we've been utilizing randomly generated ability scores derived from the 4d6 drop lowest method, and all character statistics have, unsurprisingly, fallen relatively in-line with the pre-generated scores presented in the standard array. Not an issue, until the human PCs receive their allotted racial bonuses and their class bonus to their ability scores.
Right now it just looks like a particularily powerful group of adventurers, but given the fact that they'll be receiving two additional points every four levels, things'll be looking a little skewed right aways, methinks.
Just thought I'd toss this out there in case a designer happens by. Cheers.
