We are having an annoying little computer issue that is just bad enough to make me think, "Why bother? I have other, less annoying, things I can be doing," so if you don't see anything new here for a few days that's why.
Category Archives: Uncategorized
Oh warm, beautiful Spring why hast thou forsaken me? 'Tis the first day in May but 'twas freezing this morning. (Literally 32°F) The dogwoods are in bloom and the irises just beginning but they merely tease. 'Tis winter still and I am indoors clothed in flannel. Tomorrow? Tomorrow you say? Oh cruel tomorrow, always a day away. The oak trees know. Those great noble plants, which in saner years would be fully leafed out by this date, are are only now showing the first cautious buds of new growth. Get thee behind me Winter, and Spring, oh Spring, I beg thee to stop teasing us and finally come to stay.
Color Change
I did a little redecorating for spring. If you're still seeing pink try refreshing the page. I already sort of miss the pink background. Chances are it will be back someday but for now I wanted something to go with the dandelions.
Yesterday I finally, after procrastinating for months, uploaded an updated version of my infamous links page. This morning I discovered a mistake. A mistake of the "How the hell did that happen?" variety. Oops. I don't have time to deal with it right now but hopefully it won't be months this time before I get around to fixing it.
A Hill With a Name
Whenever a section of roadway has a name – an unofficial name given by the locals – you know it has to be interesting to drive on. I posted this on Facebook this morning and then decided to post it here also. As I said on FB, this video doesn't do it justice. The camera is too close to the ground. It needs to be near driver and passenger eye level so you can see what we see when we drive up or down the curséd thing. But it's the only one I found so here it is.
I have a dream…
…that one morning, amongst the dozen or so comments awaiting moderation, there will be one genuine, non-spam comment – a new, first-time commenter! Well… it has happened a couple of times so it's not an impossible dream.
Pumpkin Recipes
These 15 Mind-Blowing Pumpkin Recipes are unusual and some of them sound awesome. I am interested in the pumpkin pasta and the enchiladas. Well, I'm interested in all of them but those two stand out as being especially unexpected.
The one that I definitely want to make soon is the pumpkin ginger cheesecake. I've made something similar to that only the pumpkin and cheesecake fillings were layered, not swirled and it just had the standard graham cracker crust.
Three PC Pet Peeves
PC = personal computer not politically correct. We don't do politically correct around here. Also, these are not all specifically related to the personal computer itself. One (or two) are website things. Anyway… enough babbling.
1. I hate it when I log out of Facebook and get a message that says "You must log in to continue." You mean I must log in to log out? I'm already logged out thank you very much. Why do I need to log back in?
2. I hate it when I close Firefox and get an error message that says "Firefox has stopped working". (and some other stuff that I don't remember) Really? Firefox has stopped working? Maybe because I just closed it?
3. I hate when I close a tab and it doesn't close immediately. It's only a few seconds delay but to me that is unacceptable. When I click the little X the tab should go away instantly. Until recently that is the way it always worked but now some websites seem reluctant to close.
More Beer… Bread, That Is
I made this today. It came out of the oven just an hour ago. The loaf is now a little over half gone. I love the cheesy taste. I barely noticed the bacon.
Font Help
Calling all font geeks. Come on, I know you exist. This is the banner I was using previously. I need help identifying one of the fonts.
I should still have these fonts on my computer but I haven't been able to find them. I remember that the "Violins" font is Symphony and I have found that one already but I can't remember the name of the "Starships" font. Anyone recognize it?
I have been going through these sci-fi fonts. The top alternatives I'm considering are 13 Misa and Federation Classic. But I'd really like to find the same one I had before. Ideas?
Still Not Right
I guess I'll try this for a while. It looks nice but what happened to my archives and such? I don't know how any of this stuff works. &@%$#!
UPDATE: Okay, progress. There's the link to my links page. Where is my sidebar? I have NO IDEA how to get it back. Also, I would like to add my own header image but I have no idea where it goes. Ten+ years ago I was so proud of myself for learning a little bit of HTML then they throw in CSS and PHP and the rest of the alphabet soup and now it might as well be Russian.
And this light grey text. I fracking HATE websites with light grey text.
UPDATE 2: Ah, there it is. Perhaps I will even get back the picture later. This version of WordPress has handy features. I should always look around more before I start bitching in public.
[tap tap] Is this thing on?
Aaaand I'm back. A little dazed perhaps but everything will be back to normal immediately. Or maybe tomorrow. Apparently I was hacked. I see that the blog is not loading correctly, with the columns and all where they're supposed to be, but everything else seems to be working. I think I'll look at some of the standard templates and switch to one of those at least temporarily.
Anyway, I missed you guys. Let's party.
Just an Excuse
Having some kind of network issue. Or ISP issue. Or something like that. Also busy. Even busier tomorrow. I might get around to posting something but don't count on it. I will definitely have something (possibly interesting) by Friday.
The Joy of the Chase
Finally, here it is. This 47 second video took more than 47 minutes to upload, which is why I don't have more videos online. Anyway, this is what we did yesterday.
A Day Off
As a holiday, yesterday was, for us, the most pathetic ever, but as a day it was pretty nice. We spent the morning working in the yard. (Okay, "working in the yard" involved some shopping at Lowe's, which took up as much time as the actual working.) Then we spent the afternoon and evening vegging out in front of the TV – NatGeo Wild and ST:TNG. But I did wear red, white and blue. That was my celebration.
Another #&%@ Inconvenience
Spam has been hard to keep up with lately so I am going to try one-time comment moderation. You leave a comment, I approve it (unless you're a spammer) and from then on you can comment and it appears immediately.
So come on… get it over with. Say something. Let's have a comment party. Talk about how much we hate spammers, or how much we love ice cream, Mozart, Firefly, books, shoes, fabric, or whatever it is that turns you on, or talk about the weather. I don't care as long as it's clean and polite.
UPDATE: Well darn! That's not working like I thought it would. It isn't holding anything for moderation and I'm still getting spam. Hmmm… the option I checked is now unchecked. Trying again…
(Psst… Don't go away. I'll try to be more interesting tomorrow.)
Random Linkage
Fastener Chart – (PDF) For some of you guys this might be a "so what?" but for people like me, who only know Phillips and "regular", this is not only useful but fascinating. I think the guys on HGTV and DIY network could use this since they don't appear to know the difference between lag bolts and carriage bolts.
40 Inspiring Workplaces of the Famously Creative – Very interesting. I'm not at all surprised that clutter seems to be the rule. If you're busy being creative you don't have time to straighten up the place. There are a few neat and even minimalist spaces though. Just based on the decor, Rudyard Kipling's study is my favorite. I would like to spend a week alone in Nigella Lawson's study/library.
Ads We'll Never See Again – Hah! How times have changed.
Arctic Instruments – Equipment used for research in polar climates.
Playgrounds – A small collection of photos. I like this observation: "It wasn't that the kids of my block were poor or deprived. We had nice swings and sliding boards at the local school playground. It's just that we preferred to invent our playgrounds out of the things we could find and invent.
Adimab Ads – A biotech company has some mysteriously clever ads.
Transhuman Theft – Someone I would definitely follow on Twitter if I was still using Twitter.
The Oddment Emporium – A very interesting Tumblr blog.
Life Is Good
I love my life. I really do. A few minutes ago I looked out my back door and saw a tufted titmouse on the back porch. It hopped a little closer and pecked at dried leaves and debris. It flew to the stack of firewood and hopped around on that for a minute, coming even closer to the door.
Then it flew down to the doormat and I stood there watching it for over five minutes as it pulled fibers out of the doormat not three feet away from me on the other side of the glass door. What's better than that?! Getting a great photo of it maybe? Nah… not even that.
Tiny Wildflower
I have been seeing these all my life but I don't know what they are called. I've never even heard a common name for them. I guess it's "just a weed". Ever since I was a kid I've been a bit fascinated by them – so tiny, no more than a quarter inch across, with just four perfect little petals.
Taken with my Celestron Amoeba microscope on the 10X setting.
Modern Blogging
As I've already said, I had a bit of down-time on Friday and I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, which looks really different on the inside from the ancient version I've been using. (I have a slight phobia about upgrading) As soon as I was back in action I discovered that I had over 700 spam comments. Obviously my CAPTCHA is not working so why even have the thing? I was going to try Akismet but then I discovered that it's not free. I normally don't get all that much Spam and I'm reluctant to pay any more just to keep up this silly little hobby. So, for now, I've just closed comments on posts over 14 days old. If spam continues to be a huge problem I might try something else, starting with one time comment moderation, but for now we'll just see how this goes.

In case you hadn't heard, the English Defense League (EDL) are in Bradford this weekend. Understandably its causing a whole lot of concern. The EDL claim to be "Peacefully opposing Islamic Extremism". The reality is that they are deeply Islamophobic, often racist and frequently seeking violence.(1)
Their track record caused the West Yorkshire Police and Bradford City Council to apply for and be granted a Home Office ban on marches. They simply cannot be trusted to march though a multiracial city without at least some of their number going AWOL, causing havoc and possibly more sinister results. However traditional British freedoms of speech and expression mean they cannot be prevented from having a static gathering, and gather they will. And that has involved a lot of planning as to how to deliver a large number (from 5-10,000??) of people arriving by coach, train, flights and cars from all over the country (and undeniably a fair few from Bradford as well) safely to an inner city venue, let them do their thing and then get them out again, all without risk to themselves, those there to oppose them and the people of Bradford who just wish it would all go away. The details of that operation are all available on the web -- or at least the EDL leadership's instructions to their loyal followers, along with the response of a number of not so loyal followers who would rather they could just turn up and cause havoc .... sorry, peacefully protest ... without any collaboration with the police. (2)
So how do you respond to such a threat? Predictably the EDL will not be the only event in the city - there are in fact several. Be Bradford - Peaceful Together, a multi-cultural festival has decided to keep away from the city centre. But Unite Against Facism (UAF) are determined once again to protest against the EDL as close as possible with their We are Bradford event just 200 meters away from the EDL - that is mainly UAF, Socialist Workers Party (SWP), some Trade Unions and a number of Christian and Muslim spokespersons and community groups. Hope not Hate and a coalition of local groups made a decision to not have an event on Saturday so have a Peace Vigil, Bradford Together, on Friday evening, with a lot of Churches, Muslim and other faith groups, community groups, local business and many Trade Unions. And on Saturday morning there will be a prayer vigil at Bradford cathedral, which will be staying open as a place of sanctuary for the day. While its good to see so much concern and opposition to the presence of the EDL it is a matter of concern for the police to have so much going on. The EDL are already talking on their pages about attempting to ride on UAF coaches and attending the Peace Vigil; and there will be many more spontaneous attempts at "mixing" during the protests.
Opposition to the Far Right, and specifically to the EDL has always attracted a lot of debate, especially on the left, but this time the spectre of the Bradford Riots of July 2001 haunts all those who prepare for Saturday. The analysis of what happened 9 years ago, and whose responsibility it was (the far right, muslims, UAF, the police, or varying combinations) underlies the many pieces of rhetoric on the web as to what response is ideologically or pragmatically sound. These were evident in Hope not Hate's July response to the EDL protest. A later meeting called by UAF on 5 August to discuss the best response included all views and seems to have been quite lively with many opposing orthodox SWP doctrine - UAF steer away from defending Bradford from the EDL describes the contributions well. The split in approach between Hope not Hate and UAF, not to mention a range of views by smaller groupings of the left, have all been discussed at length on the web, and are summed up somewhat by an editorial in the Guardian in early August: Fighting racism: united we must stand. The result is a variety events opposing the EDL on Saturday. One can only hope that in their diversity they will attract more people than those who would have attended any one; and that their presence will not be a drain on police resources .
[I have written a few more thoughts on this in the notes below at (3).]
One final factor in here: the response of the Muslim community in all its manifestations is as diverse as the rest of us. There are Muslims involved with the UAF event; and they have a strong presence at the Be Bradford - Peaceful Together event, and the Peace Vigil. Many will stay away, encouraged by community and mosque leaders to avoid the centre of town and the possible trouble or danger. The community leaders will also be working hard to keep away younger men, many of them teenagers, who will be tempted to rise to the taunts of the EDL and respond violently. Some, already angry are being more proactive in their response; they have adopted for themselves the name Muslim Defense League (MDF). They seem to have a loose association with the UAF, who it has to be said can only be using them. (4)
EDL are already talking up the possibility of "the Muslims" being out to create trouble. There will undoubtably be a small number who will be out seeking to make trouble from the beginning. I hope the police will deal with those with no hesitation. The vast majority of the Muslim community just want the EDL to go away and will stay out of the way until they do. However the images in the mind of 2001, of angry young Muslim men, rioting do not go away. The taunts over many hours, the rumours, the fear of many EDL running lose in the city could stir up more to act. It is a possibility we must be alert to. I pray it will not be so, but it is one possibility.
What would provoke such a response? The EDL were away from Luton for over a year - demo's that is, many of their members and national leaders were still living here. Just over a month ago, on July 22nd, they returned to support one of their own, Kevin Carroll, in his appeal against a conviction on public order offenses when it all blew up in March 2009. For five hours, while the case was still going on, a group of just under one hundred EDL roamed fairly freely (though watched / accompanied by police) in the town centre, drank heavily in and around pubs, sang their songs and taunts (Who the f*** is ....; Mohammed was a ....), intimidated Muslims and as time went on threw alcohol and pork at them. After five hours or so, after Carroll had emerged with sentence standing, they moved off to another pub, By that time Muslims working nearby had had enough. They protested to police, more gathered, and a counter-demo emerged. It was small, it was contained (by probably some 200 police) and it ended.But having followed the EDL since their beginnings in Luton, I am convinced that for all their claims of peacefully protesting Islamic extremism the EDL have a deep hatred of Islam, are often racist, many seek violence, and have little idea of what peace looks like. They have protested that they steward their demos and censor their websites. In fact they have just this past week adopted a code of conduct that opposes racism. It is true that administrators of their Facebook page do challenge some comments, remove some and ban members. Yet many comments are missed, and many are tolerated; in fact those same administrators are known to say things themselves that are outside the code of conduct. They protest that people running wild at demos or writing abuse on the web are not members of EDL but of violent far right groups; that some are "trolls", there to stir up division and to post things that cause others to go too far. Yet it happens so regularly and involves long term committed EDL people. It is enough to keep a small industry busy of people who collect screenshots of pages before they are censored or even as they are left, and then publicise them via twitter. See for example Expose Tweets and some of their many screencaps here:
- Muslims preparation for EDL arrival
- Taunting Muslims with pork products (eg waterguns full of pigs blood)
- Response to a BBC programme on the East End Mosque
- Saying semtex (plastic explosive) ready for Bradford demo
- Racist responses
The EDL cannot continue to disclaim responsibility for such behaviour but if they are to be true to their claim must recognise that they create an environment that provokes and fosters such behaviour and words. Their presence on the street and the web is toxic, it poisons the atmosphere. Put simply it stirs up anger and hate.
And the trouble is when you oppose anger and hatred with anger and hatred (as so often happens in counter protests) it multiplies anger and hatred. The answers are not political at their root. Political ideology cannot deal with hatred and anger.
As people of faith we must stand against hatred. Specifically as a Christian I and my brothers and sisters in faith must stand against hatred. At the centre of our faith is a belief in the power of love to overcome fear and confront hatred. We cannot allow ourselves to be drawn into expressions of hatred, whether in opposition to Islamic extremism here in the UK or the building of a mosque in the US. The other day I wrote about the anger and hatred that is being expressed in relation to the "Ground Zero Mosque". What a lot of anger - it can't be good for you. My call was to rise above Islamophobia and to be a people who will bring healing and reconciliation to the divisions in our society.
I will write more about the politics of hatred another time. For now as I contemplate the next two days I can only pray that love may eventually rise above hate. Its seems very simplistic, but it is my hope.
(1) See especially the Channel 4 documentary "Young Angry and British - (on YouTube, first part here; see right hand side for follow on parts), a report in the Guardian English Defence League: Inside the violent world of Britain's new far right and their editorial A hatred exposed .
(2) A google search will quickly deliver the website and facebook page with details on; I have a policy not to link to hate filled sites.
(3) In my understanding the challenge with the EDL is that they don't fit with the old models
of racism, antisemitism, extreme nationalism, the far right, and
fascism. In their totality (of people and ideas held by those people)
they include all the above, but they are not centred around any one of
them. They are specifically opposed to extremist Islam, and since in
their definition pretty well any faithful Qu'ran reading, halal meat eating, conservatively dressed Muslim is an extremist, they are in effect opposed to Islam.
So an ideologically based party like the SWP, with a history of opposing far right wing political ideology is not best oriented to understand or oppose them. Add to that the fact that Islam is a religion and Marxism of any form is essentially materialistic, and there is a lack of understanding of faith issues. (Though the EDL have a similar ignorance of their chosen "side" - the traditional Christian faith & heritage of Britain.)
The continuing challenge to working with the UAF is their strong underlying SWP roots and reliance on SWP organisational infrstructure. And the SWP's commitment to a violent revolutionary anti-capitalist ideology is never far away from their policy and intent for the UAF actions. Thus in an article on How do we stop the English Defense League they conclude: "In the coming months, we have to build a mass movement that can smash the EDL off the streets, and confront the system they feed off." This makes them difficult for many church or Muslim leaders to work with as they tend to dominate and prevent being the coalition it effectively should be.
By contrast, although Hope not Hate's origins are on the left, they seem to adapted to today's very pluralist world and especially to be much more nuanced to the language and way of thinking of faith groups.
(4) UAF's affiliation with the MDF - based it would seem only on opposition to the EDL - has been of concern to many community leaders. More worrying is UAF's refusal to condemn committed extremist Muslim groups like al-Muhajiroun on the grounds that they are united in opposing racism.

Once a week drug for diabetes might be on the anvil
A new research is paving the way for the discovery of a once a week drug for diabetes and obesity.
The research by Arnab De and Richard DiMarchi at US' Indiana University is leading towards development of a new potential, alternative drug candidate for diabetes and obesity, which needs to be taken only once a week, a release said here Tuesday.
"Diabetes patients often have to take an insulin injection after every meal. An overdose of insulin may drastically reduce blood glucose leading to life-threatening diabetic coma. Hence we wanted to develop a non-insulin drug, which would hopefully act for a prolonged period of time so that patients do not need to take it every day," De said.
He further said: "Around the time I started the work, there was this peptide hormone called GLP1, which reduces blood sugar and obesity without the accompanying risk of coma. However, it could not be used as it is very unstable and breaks down within minutes inside the body."
Now according to the research coauthored by the two scientists, they "envisioned a prodrug of GLP to extend the duration of action of this peptide hormone" and their research succeeded in "prolonging peptide hormone action to once-a-day and once-a-week formulations".
A prodrug is a medication that is administered in an inactive or less than fully active form and then it becomes converted to its active form through a normal metabolic process,
Subho Mozumdar, a faculty member at the University of Delhi, pointed out the problem linking diabetes and obesity: "One problem commonly associated with insulin treatment is that patients gain weight, and weight gain paradoxically causes diabetes. Hence an effective GLP-1 based therapeutic could be revolutionary, as it also reduces obesity.
"A daily or weekly drug formulation makes it even easier for patients. This could have a huge market given the epidemic of diabetes," he said.

MH17 passenger expresses flight jitters in video
The last glimpse of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 that crashed Thursday over Ukraine, was captured by Malaysian passenger Md Ali Md Salim moments before departure, a media report said Friday.
The 14-second video, which was uploaded on his Instagram account, showed other passengers stowing their luggage in the overhead compartment, the Malaysian Star reported.
In the caption of the Instagram video, the 30-year-old seemed to have expressed his jitters before flying home.
"Bismillah... #hatiadasikitgentar (In the name of God... feeling a little bit nervous)", read the caption.
The video has been uploaded on YouTube and Facebook.
An announcement, believed to be the voice of the pilot, can be heard in the background of the video.
"At the moment, we are on the final stages of boarding and cargo loading. Once again, please ensure all your phones are off," the pilot said before the video ended.
Md Ali, a psychology Ph.D. student at Erasmus University Rotterdam, was reported to be heading home.
The Kuala Lumpur-bound Malaysia Airlines MH17 passenger plane crashed Thursday near the Russian border, in eastern Ukraine's Donestsk region, with all the 298 passengers and crew members on board reportedly killed.
The flight took off from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

The Holmdel Township Police Department was formally established by a Township Committee ordinance in 1966.
Its early history, however, began in 1947, when Joseph W. Phillips, a life-long Township resident and local school bus driver and mail deliverer, was appointed part-time constable. Five years later, in 1952, he became the Township's first Police Chief and Arthur Klatt was appointed part-time constable.
Other early members of the department were Howard Porter, who would later become a full-time officer, and Kenneth Hopper. Both were appointed in 1960 as Special Officers, which meant they worked part-time on weekends or during other free time.
Fifteen years later, in 1962, the Police Chief's position was made full-time under State Civil Service regulations. During those early years, the Department dealt mainly with traffic control and enforcement of Township Ordinances, with other law enforcement being handled by the New Jersey State Police. There were numerous incidents of pranksters and weekend problems with migrant workers who came to work on the local potato farms. When Holmdel Park was established by the Monmouth County Parks Department, the center of Holmdel became a popular spot for outsiders, but also brought some new problems for the local police force.
At the beginning of the 1960s, the Chief worked out of his home. The Department also had one drawer in the municipal judge's desk in the old town hall, formerly located further east on Crawfords Corner Road. At that time, the Township had a population of 3,000 and the Department's budget was $3,000. The officers drove their own cars, equipped with sirens and portable red lights, and their summons books were suitable for both Holmdel and Colts Neck, then known as Atlantic Township.
From the outset, Kenneth Hopper, because of his knowledge of communications, became involved with upgrading the radio communications system. When the new town hall was built in 1980, he also designed and installed much of the elaborate, present-day communications system.
By the time the Department celebrated its first anniversary in 1967 as a full-time department, it had grown to a complement of four full-time officers and three special officers, plus a German Shepherd police dog, named Nemo, who served as "back-up" for one-man night patrols.
The additional officers included Bruce Phillips and John Brady, who were appointed in 1965 as the Department's first full-time patrolmen. The first police car, a 1965 Ford was also acquired that year. In 1966, Bill Truex was hired as the third patrolman, and the third special officer was William Ryder. Bruce Phillips was later promoted to Sergeant and in 1971 succeeded his father, Joseph, as Police Chief.
Over the years, the Department has been housed in various facilities. From the judge's desk drawer, it moved to a basement room in the old Town Hall, then on to the Road Department garage, and finally, in 1981, to its present state-of-the-art quarters in Town Hall.
In 1968, two more officers joined the force, Dominic Cavallaro and Thomas Durdack. A second police car was acquired.
Major cases in the earlier years included a double homicide on Longstreet (Roberts Road) in 1972, which was reported on the front page of the New York Daily News; a murder at Bayshore Community Hospital, also in 1972, and in the late 1970s, a million-dollar residential robbery.
Since the early 1960s, when the fledgling Department patrolled the Township's 18 square miles, the population has grown to approximately 16,000. Complaints, which in 1965 numbered 540, in 2000 swelled to 21,505.
In January of 2004 R. Bruce Phillips retired after serving as Holmdel's Chief of Police for 32 years.
On January 26, 2004 Raymond Wilson became Holmdel's third Chief of Police. Wilson grew up in Pennsylvania and relocated to Holmdel after serving with the U.S. Army in Vietnam. He became a member of the Holmdel Police Department in 1973 was promoted to Sergeant in 1980, Lieutenant in 1983 and attained the rank of Captain in 1998. Wilson was second-in-command of the Department for over 20 years. Chief Wilson retired from the Department on June 30, 2010.
On May 1, 2010, John Mioduszewski became the fourth Holmdel Township Chief of Police.
Mioduszewski, a 23-year veteran of the Holmdel Police Department, worked his way through the ranks, serving as a patrolman and a shift Sergeant. Through his assignments and duties he has become familiar with virtually all aspects and functions of the Holmdel Police Department. Most recently, John has worked as Captain of the Department, running day-to-day operations.
Over the course of his career, Chief Mioduszewski has been involved in initiating and maintaining numerous programs within the Department all of which did not exist in Holmdel prior to his involvement. These include:
Department's Honor Guard
Crime Prevention Unit
Police Youth Academy
Domestic Violence Response Team
Police Explorers Post
Safe-not-Sorry, Self-Defense Program for Young Women
New-Officer Field Training Program, and many others.
In addition, John served as the Department's first, full-time Training and Crime Prevention Officer. While in that position, he was named Crime Prevention Officer of the Year for the State of New Jersey, for organizing and coordinating our Neighborhood Watch Program, which has come to be recognized as one of the largest and most successful community-based programs in the State.
John has twice received commendations by the General Assembly of the NJ Legislature for his work with victims of Domestic Violence. And, he has been the recipient of numerous Department awards and citations. In addition to several Letters of Commendation and Unit Awards for his actions, he has received a Chief's Achievement Award for bringing exceptional recognition to the Department. He is a three-time recipient of the Department's Distinguished Service Award and has been twice named Officer of the Year.

Conuld looks pensive. "Do you have unforeseen expenses? I thought with Cassus' reward money, you could afford a spell or two. I would probably be wiser to scribe a few scrolls of Color Spray, since it worked so well on Riffer, but I cannot resist the opportunity to try out some new spells."
OOC - you're not forgetting the 250 gp? or are you saving up for a big purchase?

"Oh!" says Conuld, "you have Feather Fall. I have been trying to puzzle out how one can produce such an effect with only an utterance, and I think I am nine-tenths of the way there. I'll get it soon. But I am most interested in Magic Missile. It seems that if you cannot cast that, you cannot really call yourself a wizard! But Baland and Althor put their feet down, and said it was a waste of time for a librarian, and how could I practise casting it, anyway? And so I have some utility spells - such as Unseen Servant and Enlarge Person. Well, Enlarge Person can be a help in a library with tall shelves."
OOC - no problem. As above, Conuld would like MM. Is there a standard LEW procedure for this, or does it all happen off-stage?

The only LEW requirement is that you note on your character sheet where the new spells came from. When you get approved for next level, the character judges might ask where you got it, and they'll make sure you spent the appropriate money. It's best to make a note on the boards somewhere and include that link in your character sheet.
And you can RP it out here or in the Tavern, or not at all.

OOC - thanks Rae. For record-keeping purposes, then:
Tommy and Conuld spend a week sequestered away in their rooms at the Red Dragon. With Tommy's help, Conuld translates Tommy's version of Magic Missile into his own arcane notation. He helps his friend with Enlarge Person and Unseen Servant. Then he copies his scrolls of Magic Weapon and Comprehend Languages.
OOC - spending 300 gp to add the above 3 spells to Conuld's spellbook.
Sunday, 10th June, 2007, 03:42 PM #387
OOC - you can take 10 on the Spellcraft check to learn a new spell, then? That makes success automatic, of course.

Pendrake bows to Cassus Arimae,a little less wobbly as the alcohol is wearing off, and thank him for his share of the reward. he then looks to the fellow party members and says, "I vill see each uf you at zee ret dragoon? Ja?"
after giving departing comments to all, he bows to them and departs, walking briskly, the scene of the life he had to take earlier still playing in the back of his head...forced upon him by the wizard's enchantment...the anger of being forced to leave his fellow parties side by magic casuing a the embers of hatred to glow within his soul...(moving to the red dragon...)

The plasmonic response from a nanotextured silver coating was utilized to enhance the transfer of ultraviolet light generated in a group-III nitride nanowire emitter. A two-step approach was developed in a metal–organic chemical vapour deposition system to grow nanowires initially vertically by the vapour–liquid–solid mechanism and, subsequently, laterally by increasing the growth temperature and the group-V/III reactant ratio. This controllably produced a 20 nm GaN:Si core with a 200 nm outer-diameter AlGaN:Mg sheath structure. Solvothermal chemistry based on an ethylene glycol solvent was employed to deposit a silver coating that approximated a dense packing of metallic nanospheres. Nanoscale emission and plasmonically enhanced transfer of this energy were simulated to aid the development and understanding of this system.

Glenn Beck: Obama is Going to Get Impeached!Submitted by DeejayG on Mon, 04/29/2013 - 07:59

Beck is a nut
and he is finally cracking.
old age or his handlers? ... I could care less about him failing at this story as he shit on each and every one of us when it mattered last election, and he will do it again if we let him.

Clinton got impeached. Nothing happened. "Bad Clinton." That's about all it amounted to.
Obama has been a fantastic puppet. No chance of impeachment.
Eric Holder cares about us.
A true flower can not blossom without sunlight and a true man can not live without love.
Could of happened a million times. Let's not act like the
elections didn't teach us that prosecuting officials is deliberated in secret, and the basis of information for impeachment will reach the public only as an after thought if at all.
A true flower can not blossom without sunlight and a true man can not live without love.
I might have believed it
if it wasn't Glenn Beck saying it.

That's why his masters had him resign from Fox and pretend to go his own way utilizing the new media.

The key to anything like this
The key to anything like this is a media that suddenly stops worshiping the White House and Obama. That's just not likely to happen. The corporate media thinks Obama can lie about any and everything as long as "both parties do it".
I'll believe it...when I see it!
Even if someone has the 'goods' on him, the system is corrupt enough to let him off.

Can we impeach the entire administration? Oh & some Repubs too?
Sure does make a nice daydream.
So Glen says the whole thing is coming down and it's unavoidable because of these Saudi's and the events surrounding them? If Glen isn't a liberty infiltrator and is really only just naive then this could be a huge wakening moment for him when nothing actually happens and the Obama Admin is given a pass and everything is swept under the rug.
Maybe he'll have that "Holy Crap! Everything and everyone is corrupt!" moments that redefine who he trusts and how he sees the world.
Anything is possible I guess
It's time! Rand Paul 2016!
"Truth, Justice, and the American Way!"
By whom? Over what? The video said nothing
and now I have 8 minutes of beck stench residue in my ear. When's he going to put up or shut up?
If it was that serious he would say it immediately and sound the warning.He's playing. The faux hype and shameless teasing tells me that what ever info he has is total crap and geared only towards boosting his ratings and stirring up his fan base with red herrings. I doubt anything will come of it. What a waste of time. I'd be more than happy to eat my words so let me know if he actually has something to say. I sincerely doubt he will.

Ben Shalom Bernanke (English pronunciation: /bərˈnæŋki/ bər-nang-kee; born 1953) is an American economist, and the current Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States. During his tenure as Chairman, Bernanke has overseen the response of the Federal Reserve to late-2000s financial crisis.
Bernanke was a tenured professor at Princeton University and was chair of the Department of Economics there from 1996 to September 2002, when he went on public service leave. From 2002 until 2005, he served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Here he outlined the Bernanke Doctrine and first spoke of the Great Moderation, where he postulated that we are in a new era, where modern macroeconomic policy has decreased the volatility of the business cycle. He then served as Chairman of President George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers before President Bush appointed him to be Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve on February 1, 2006. Bernanke was confirmed for a second term as Chairman on January 28, 2010, after being nominated by President Barack Obama.
Bernanke was born in North Augusta, South Carolina, and was raised in a ranch-style house on East Jefferson Street in Dillon, South Carolina. His father Philip was a pharmacist and part-time theater manager, and his mother Edna was an elementary schoolteacher. He is the eldest of three children, having a brother and sister. His younger brother, Seth, is a lawyer in Charlotte, North Carolina, and his younger sister, Sharon, is a longtime administrator at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Dubai's acquisition of QE2 is major boost to British business interests in UAE
Dubai's acquisition of the QE2 is a major tourism coup for the emirate which will further boost links between the UAE and the UK, a British business leader said today.
Mark Beer, newly elected chairman of the British Business Group in Dubai, said the announcement that the historic British ocean liner will be permanently berthed off Palm Jumeirah would help to reinforce business relations between the two countries and increase the number of UK tourists visiting the Emirates.
Dubai World company Istithmar, sister company of Palm Jumeirah developers Nakheel, has bought the passenger ship from Britain's Cunard Line and will turn it into a first-class floating hotel, retail and entertainment destination to be berthed at a specially-constructed pier from 2009.
"There is a long history of association between the UAE and UK business communities, not least within the travel and leisure markets," said Beer. "This latest announcement is a demonstration of the strength of this commercial relationship and gives an enormous boost to the BBG's main remit of fostering business links between the two countries. The presence of this historic ship in Dubai will also help to increase the number of UK tourists visiting the UAE, which currently stands at around one million per year."
The BBG, was set up in 1987 to encourage the development of British business in the UAE and now has more than 850 members. It undertakes a wide range of activities from communicating with decision makers and testing British goods to sharing best business practice and arranging networking events for its members.

The Detroit Tigers selected Spencer Turnbull RHP from Alabama with their 2nd round pick. Dave Dombrowksi waited until the 63rd overall pick to draft his power pitcher.
Turnbullbull has been developing rapidly since starting with Alabama and has refined his delivery to improve his velocity and control.
Here is the MLB.com scouting report for Spencer Turnbull.
Turnbull now reaches 98 and regularly works at 92-94. He also has improved the life on his heater, and he uses his size and high-three-quarters delivery to throw it on a steep downward plane. He also has made strides with his slider, which shows flashes of becoming a plus pitch. Turnbull has a strong build and the makings of an average changeup, allowing him to project as a mid-rotation starter. His command isn't nearly as strong as his control, however, so it's possible he could wind up as a late-inning reliever.
Spencer Turnbull joins the long tradition of Detroit Tigers pitching development. The Tigers farm system has churned out a number of major league pitchers over the years including Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello, Jeremy Bonderman, Andrew Miller, Joel Zumaya and Bruce Rondon to name a few. Spencer Trumbull could be the next pitcher to carry on the tradition.

New at this...What's going on???
Hi...been doing low carb since 9/1. My daughter has lost 80 lbs and still going. I had gotten off to a great start...lost 13 pounds in 11 days :jumpjoy: and then....screech!!!!! I have been going up 2 lbs, down 2 lbs since 9/12. I have not cheated even once! I have increased from no exercise to (almost no) exercise. (Baby steps here...my knees hurt!) Can anyone give me suggestions on how to get this thing rolling again?:dunno:
This happens. Give...your... body... time...to...catch up. No one that I know of will lose weight constantly. It needs a break in there to recoup then it'll start again. There are always blips in the road. This happens to everyone.
Yep, agree with Terry above. Weightloss has been described on here like waves, ups and downs, but an overall downward trend. Just stay on plan, make sure your numbers are what they should be, keep an accurate food diary and tweak if needed. You will start to loose again soon :)
Do NOT give up!! Everytime I start low carb I lose about 8 lbs in the first 2 weeks then like you said....screeeech! I get unmotivated fast so about a month is my usual breaking point for low carb. BUT then what do I do....? I go back to eating garbage and gain it all back. This time I have decided to be veeeeeeery patient. I have set myself an evaluation date of June 1, 2014 if I've lost less than 20 lbs and do not feel wonderful I will reevaluate, but there will be no cheating this time around and there will be patience.
You lost 13 lbs!! That is Wonderful!!! Just try to give your body a chance to play catch up, don't go tweaking or quitting. You (and I) can do this!! :jumpjoy:
I have gained and lost the same 3 pounds since 9/9. Hopefully the went bye bye as of 9/20. Be patient. It's not easy but you can do it.
emptyshell, as everybody agrees, this is quite common. Something that has helped me with patience during "mini-stalls" is to pay attention to the trends on the scale. If you are into charts, you can chart your weight every morning. It will be frustrating the first few days, but you will begin to see trends. Mine, for instance, shows a new low, followed by a bounce up, then down, then up, then down, and once again up and down, which is when I usually hit a new low. It may only be half a pound, but it happens. Then the process starts all over again. The point is that you can count on bouncing up, but if you work your plan, what goes up, WILL come down! :) Over time, you will see that the line slopes downward and the little bounces won't bother you anymore!
Does anyone decrease calories or up fat once you have lost a TON of weight?? OR do you keep things the same???
On topic, I lost 116 pounds and I kept everything pretty consistent, except that as I got smaller, I had to be more careful with low carb products like bread, wraps, and I watched my condiments more carefully. I stopped using granular splenda and was a little more strict in general. But I left my fat intake the same. I stopped counting calories when I went low carb, but I'd say they stayed about the same throughout.
Weight loss is a factor of 4 things: Water loss, glycogen depletion (carb storage), loss of lean muscle and loss of body fat. When first starting a low carb diet the weight loss you mostly experience is water loss and glycogen depletion. It accounts for most of the drop in scale weight. The rate of fat loss is slower and sometimes it almost doesn't get picked up by the bathroom scale because water losses and gains overshadow anything that happens with respect to changes in body fat levels. Bathroom scales aren't the greatest way to assess results unless you are patient and are also gauging your progress by how you look in the mirror and how you fit into clothes. And also in some cases, people might start commenting on "how good you are looking these days." That can also be helpful because it means you have lost bodyfat most likely.

The Bedhead is easy to install w/o any special tools and it keeps your bike securely in place. While the nut on the skewer does come off, you can make pretty tight with the quick release. It is always good to remember that locks only stop the honest person and if somebody really wants your bike then they will get it.

Kyle, most likely they are just out of stock and you should keep checking back to see if they are available.
Well Ryan, if they are no longer sold retail then your best bet is somewhere like Ebay or even used somewhere like Craigslist. You may also try contacting Yakima and asking them if a different clip would work.
Hey Mike, I found that the Q99's are rather hard to come by. The best thing I found was to just keep checking until they are back in stock.
Sturdy, stable, and secure. This box stores enough for my family of four to go camping, visit family during Christmas (extra toys to bring home), and keep our skis if needed. Easy handling does take two people, but I have installed it alone. If you do not have a fairing and are concerned about wind noise, don't be. I have driving a several thousand miles with the just the box and never heard anything. I recommend getting the wall mount for storage while not on the car, it frees up a lot of room and looks killer, too.

Well Mike, the best bet would be to send Yakima a note to be notified once the fit is determined. You can do this from their website in what would be step 2 of 'Fit My Car'. Given that Yakima makes custom fits to ech year/make/model, it may take a while...
Most likely, visit www.yakima.com and follow the "Fit My Car" link. Enter the make/year/model to get a list of what you need to set up a rack system on your car.

CHICAGO | Bill Jenkins isn't your classic gun control lobbyist. In fact, he isn't even a lobbyist or a formal activist.
He is an Illinois gun owner and a father who lost a child to gun violence.
"My son was shot and killed in 1997 and ... I don't want bad guys to have guns, it's simple," Jenkins said.
Jenkins said he considers Mayor Rahm Emanuel's recent proposal to license every gun in Illinois a sensible move in the right direction.
"I think every responsible gun owner should care about how firearms are used and perceived in our society," he said.
The legislation, if passed by the General Assembly, would require every gun to be registered at a cost of $65. Emanuel says the legislation would allow authorities to more effectively trace guns, reduce the transfer of illegal firearms and help solve crimes.
The proposal has garnered significant opposition from some lawmakers and gun rights activists, including the Illinois State Rifle Association. Its executive director, Richard Pearson, said he considers it a tax on a civil liberty.
"We are not registering any firearms. Period," Pearson said. "I would propose a term limit for the mayor of the city of Chicago."
Besides opposing it because he sees it as a violation of the 2nd Amendment, Pearson said he believes gun possession is a necessity for self-defense and he wouldn't want to hinder people's ability to purchase and keep a firearm.
He even has used one himself, when a jewelry store he owned in Normal was close to being robbed.
"A guy came in and shut the door and locked it with a latch. He said, 'What would you do if I tried to rob you?' I always carry a .45 with me, and I showed him my .45 and said, 'I will shoot you,'" Pearson said with pride.
The would-be robber left straightaway, he said.
The legislation would make it a criminal offense if a gun owner doesn't register every firearm in his or her possession, with each weapon requiring the initial $65 fee and a $25 fee five years after the initial licensing.
Gun owners currently are required to hold the Firearm Owners Identification Program card, which Elmwood Park's Illinois Gun Works owner Don Mastrianni believes is more than enough in terms of regulation.
"In theory, all guns are de facto registered by virtue of the fact that you have to fill out a federal form, and that form stays on file with every federally licensed dealer," he said.
Mastrianni, who said he doesn't believe that the law will have any effect on his business, considers the proposal to be "a type of class warfare, in a roundabout way."
"If you are going to register them in the city, that's the city's business. But there are a lot of suburbs and towns that are going to resist that," he said.
For Jenkins, the idea that an authority is keeping tabs on people's firearms is a good thing, whether it is the state or city doing the monitoring.
"People behave better in our society when they know somebody is watching," he said.
The bill is still being finalized by Emanuel's office.
