The Los Angeles Lakers have started whittling down their roster and the first to go were Ronnie Aguilar and Reeves Nelson.
While Aguilar had a feel-good story, he didn't have the same effect on the court. In four preseason appearances, the 7'1" center averaged under one point and one rebound in 7.8 minutes.
If they're looking for someone to back up Dwight Howard, he's clearly not the answer and they had to let him go. At his size though, he may find another home elsewhere in the NBA.
Reeves Nelson was the other player who was booted. He was an interesting pickup from the start, considering the Sports Illustrated article that was written about UCLA and highlighted some of Nelson's alleged unsavory activities. These included fighting with teammates, hurting them, and peeing on their clothes.
Nelson sued the writer, and in the same week he was cut, Nelson's defamation allegations were deemed unfounded by the court and the case was thrown out.
As for his on-court performance, he grabbed four rebounds and got 1.3 points in 11 minutes of three preseason games. That's nothing to write home about, so it's no surprise that he got cut. He'll likely go back overseas to play.
Right now the Lakers have 18 players, but can only carry 15. Those three may go down to the D-league though, rather than get cut, if the Lakers think they can groom them. That was the case with Darius Morris last season.

Amy Tan and Maya Angelou come from extremely different cultures, and trying to feel accepted in American Culture. Both authors discuss a feeling of being an outcast and how their cultural differences set them apart. However, Amy Tan effectively uses narration and description to depict her sense of isolation from the dominant American culture.
Angelou's story is set in the South during the 1930's when racism was prominent in society and an acceptable practice. Angelou's writing mostly describes the reaction of the audience as they listen to the boxing match. She does not describe in detail on how this fight affects her or what it means to those around her. Her writing gives the reader a sense of excitement and nervousness, but it does not depict her sense of isolation from the dominant culture.
Tan's story takes place in California during the 1960's. She feels embarrassed about her Chinese culture when she is faced with having a boy she likes and his family over for Christmas dinner. Tan describes in vivid detail her differences and embarrassment that she feels about being different from the Anglo culture. Tan more effectively describes her own isolation from social norms than Angelou. She describes her feeling and reactions to everything leading up to, during and after the Christmas dinner.
Tan's descriptive detail of her feelings throughout the evening effectively portrays her feelings of isolation and being different from the dominant American culture. The reader feels her humiliation and despair. This is evident when she describes the foods she loves in disgust and how she worries about her family's manners at the dinner table. Angelou describes the emotions of the people around her and does not focus on her own feelings. Her focus is on the crowd's emotions during the fight and their celebration following the win. The reader does not feel the same sense of isolation that Tan portrays.
Angelo's story describes the thoughts and feelings of her...

Russia's surprise invasion of Ukraine has pundits on the right positively giddy, as they point to statements made during the elections in 2008 and 2012 by then-candidates Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney. But long before someone presumably ghostwrote that foreign policy position for Palin or Romney walked back his stance, it was liberal Cosmo Kramer who foretold the potential for crisis in Ukraine back in 1995!

Keep your back strong and limber by exercising it at least two or three times a week. Walk, swim, and do other low-impact exercises. Add some abdominal exercises and weight lifting to strengthen the muscles that support your back. Take 10 to 15 minutes to warm up before each exercise to prevent back injuries. Also try yoga or tai chi to stretch your muscles and improve your balance so you're less likely to injure yourself and cause back pain. If you suffer from back pain, talk to your doctor before you start exercising, since some exercises may not be recommended and can be harmful.
These easy exercises can help strengthen the muscles of your back:
Lie on your back with your knees bent. Slowly lift each knee to your chest and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each leg.
Lie on your back with both knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your buttocks and slowly raise your hips into the air. Hold for 5 seconds, and then slowly lower your buttocks back to the floor.
If you feel any back pain while exercising, stop what you're doing. See your doctor to talk about back pain treatments that will help you feel and function better.
- Lose Weight
If you're several pounds heavier than your doctor recommends for your height, losing weight is an important part of pain prevention. Combine exercise with a healthy diet to get down to a lighter frame that will be easier for your back to support.
- Bone Up
While you're changing the way you eat to lose weight, add in nutrients that build bones and prevent fractures. Make sure you're getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorous from a supplement and foods like skim milk, low-fat cheese, and lean chicken.
- Ditch the Stilettos
Ladies, high heels might make your legs look sleek, but they're hard on your back. Walking around on wobbly heels all day can destabilize your posture and leave you in some serious back pain. Leave the towering heels in your closet and instead wear low (1 inch or less), comfortable shoes that support and cushion each step.
- Lighten Your Load
Humans weren't meant to be pack mules. When you leave your house in the morning, only carry what you need. Take a few books out of your backpack and remove all nonessential items from your purse. Carry your bag on both shoulders to even out the load on your back.
- Stub Out Your Smokes
Smoking, in addition to a long list of other health offenses, restricts blood flow to the discs that cushion and support your spine.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Virginia Gun Group to Rally for Concealed Weapons
Civil Rights Leader Spoke Out in Opposition to "Weapons of Violence for Personal Protection" RICHMOND, Va. , Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) will be meeting at the State Capitol in...
The VCDL has asserted that the carrying of concealed weapons in public places is a "fundamental human right." In the recent Second Amendment case of District of Columbia vs. Heller, however, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in the majority opinion that, "The Court's opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms."
The Virginia Center for Public Safety (formerly known as Virginians Against Handgun Violence) is a statewide organization that was founded in 1992 after a young person was shot outside a school in Hampton Roads. The organization seeks to create a safer Virginia through education, public forums, youth outreach, and work in the public policy arena. VACPS believes that a chief cause of gun violence is the easy access that criminals and youth have to guns in the state.
As the nation's largest, non-partisan, grassroots organization leading the fight to prevent gun violence, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, working with its dedicated network of Million Mom March Chapters, is devoted to creating an America free from gun violence, where all Americans are safe at home, at school, at work, and in our communities.

In 2001, the Quincy, MA-based National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) published a report on the performance of sprinkler systems in the United States from 1989 to 1998. The report divided system performance into five categories:
The 16-percent figure mentioned above is calculated by dividing the number of incidents in Category 2 (1,451) by the total number of incidents in Categories 1 and 2 (8,872).
Buildings magazine is interested in your feedback on this vital issue. Please voice your opinion on our website (www.buildings.com), access this article by the same name, and respond via the "Feedback" button.
With the World Trade Center disaster still fresh in our memories, there is ample reason to reassess the state of fire safety in newer buildings where Americans work, live, shop, learn, and play. Why? Because many building codes that establish fire safety standards are based upon the mistaken assumption that sprinklers virtually never fail, and that fire-resistant construction materials can be minimized or eliminated.
Everyone agrees that sprinklers save lives and property. However, the Quincy, MA-based National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has collected data that shows that sprinklers do not operate approximately 16 percent of the time (see "Voice Your View," below). This data is based on a 10-year study of more than 8,000 commercial fires in the United States.
Despite the risk of failure, model codes increasingly rely on sprinklers, while reducing requirements for fireproofing, fire-resistant doors, dampers, and other fire and smoke barriers. Municipalities are also considering adopting codes that allow buildings to be constructed taller, wider, and with more open space.
While many view fire barriers as costly excess, emergency responders see them as life-savers. In essence, the more fire- and smoke-resistant construction products that are designed into a sprinklered structure, the less likely it is to collapse during a fire.
Those who doubt the need for fire-resistant construction need only look at the results of the World Trade Center Building Performance Study, which I oversaw in the aftermath of 9/11. This disaster was an extraordinary event involving impact trauma that the buildings' designers never envisioned and the sprinklers there were overwhelmed. However, the additional fire-resistant construction is believed to have helped reduce the death toll by delaying collapse of the twin towers.
Evidence of the sprinkler systems' vulnerability in somewhat more conventional fires can be seen in Buildings 5 and 7 of the WTC complex. Both buildings had sprinkler systems. Yet, Building 7 and a portion of Building 5 collapsed from burnout fires. The sprinklers in Building 5 were overwhelmed by the intensity of the fire; and there was insufficient water to combat fire and prevent collapse of Building 7.
Based upon these findings, the fire protection provided by the sprinkler systems alone did not stop the fires in these two buildings. However, the built-in fire protection delayed their collapse, thereby allowing occupants and emergency responders to evacuate both buildings.
Why is this important now? Because two years after 9/11, New York City is gearing up to adopt a new building code – the International Building Code (IBC). At the expense of fire-resistant construction materials, the IBC relies even more extensively on sprinklers than previous model building codes.
The IBC's requirements for fire-resistant construction are drastically lower than what building codes required two to three decades ago. Consequently, unless the code is amended, I believe occupants, firefighters, and other emergency responders are at a greater risk than ever before.
This issue has implications extending well beyond NYC's five boroughs. If history holds true, amendments made to the IBC in New York City will be carefully scrutinized by other jurisdictions.
Fire safety cannot be an "either-or" proposition. Buildings with sprinklers should also have fire-resistant construction for better fire protection. Anything less puts occupants and emergency responders at risk, and is, therefore, unacceptable.

Remember me
In his official remarks about the end of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, President Obama told an assembly of troops:
The war in Iraq will soon belong to history. Your service belongs to the ages. Never forget that you are part of an unbroken line of heroes spanning two centuries — from the colonists who overthrew an empire, to your grandparents and parents who faced down fascism and communism, to you — men and women who fought for the same principles in Fallujah and Kandahar, and delivered justice to those who attacked us on 9/11.
There are two new bills in Congress to fix the indefinite detention policy in the new NDAA law.
Who will be in charge of the executive branch of government if Mitt Romney is our next President? Who will be making the decisions coming out of the White House, decisions affecting matters as crucial as the question of war or peace? When Romney ran for the 2008 nomination. he was asked a rather basic question by Chris Matthews of MSNBC during one of the many televised debates.
The former head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) unit tracking terror leader Osama bin Laden, Michael Scheuer, endorsed Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas for President in 2012, days before the Iowa caucus. He argued, among other points, that the top-tier GOP hopeful is the best candidate to protect America from violent Islamic extremism.
In a column entitled "Iowa's Choice: Dr. Paul or U.S. bankruptcy, more wars, and many more dead soldiers and Marines" published on his website over the weekend, Scheuer said voting for any candidate other than Paul would help inflict further damage on an already-wounded America. It would also contribute toward the continuation of a foreign policy that will ensure total national bankruptcy, noted the 22-year intelligence-community veteran, who now serves as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University's Center for Peace and Security Studies.
"Dr. Paul's non-interventionist policy will allow foreigners to work out their political destiny in their own way and at their own pace; prevent unnecessary additions to America's growing list of enemies; and save countless young lives," Scheuer wrote in his endorsement, blasting senior leaders and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle with harsh words. "Electing anyone but Ron Paul will further increase the already strong chances of widespread Islamist-conducted violence inside the United States."
Hysteria over Iran's alleged nuclear-weapons program has been steadily rising among some U.S. and Israeli officials. But Tamir Pardo, the chief of Israel's intelligence service known as the Mossad, said last week that a nuclear weapon in the hands of the Iranian government would not necessarily pose an "existential threat" to the Jewish state.
"What is the significance of the term 'existential'?" Pardo was quoted as saying in an article by the Washington Times. Citing Israeli diplomats who met with the spy chief last week in a closed-door session, the paper reported that, according to Pardo, the danger posed by a hypothetical nuclear weapon in Iranian hands was being overblown.
"If you said a nuclear bomb in Iranian hands was an 'existential' threat, that would mean that we would have to close up shop," the Mossad boss told the gathering of about 100 Israeli ambassadors. "That's not the situation. The term is used too freely."
Speaking to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, several diplomats said Pardo had stated that a nuclear-armed Iran would "absolutely" pose a threat to the nation. But even if the Iranian regime were to acquire a bomb, the intelligence chief was quoted as saying, it would not mean the destruction of Israel.
The commander of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, Rear Admiral David Woods, has suggested a fundamental rule change regarding the military's right to access and review written communication exchanged between Gitmo prisoners suspected of being co-conspirators in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the attorneys representing them.
According to details of the rules published by the Associated Press, all the covered correspondence sent back and forth between any of the five detainees categorized as 9/11 co-conspirators and their legal counsel would be thoroughly reviewed by law enforcement and Department of Defense personnel.
The new policy has not yet been promulgated as Woods has yet to sign it. However, he has sent a draft copy of the proposal to the appropriate lawyers and has attached thereto an order for them to sign if they agree with the changes to the currently applicable standard operating procedures.
In response to the request from Admiral Woods, the attorneys for the five prisoners have written a memo opposing the new rule based on their averment that such a scheme would violate the privilege afforded communication between attorneys and clients. Furthermore, were the rule to be enforced, their clients would be deprived of the right to counsel afforded to individuals by the U.S. Constitution.
The $30 billion sale of arms to Saudi Arabia, announced by the Obama administration on Thursday is a continuation of a history of U.S. weapons sales that has resulted in the arming of a wide array of enemies as well as friends of America in the Middle East and other parts of the world. The deal includes the sale of 84 F-15 jets and "assorted weaponry" to the Arab kingdom, the Washington Post reported. It also provides for the modernization of 70 of the Saudi's current aircraft, as well as munitions, spare parts, training, and maintenance. The announcement comes at a time of increasing tension between the United States and the Saudis' neighbors in Iran and threats and counter-threats surrounding the strategically important Persian Gulf region.
"This sale will send a strong message to countries in the region that the United States is committed to stability in the Gulf and broader Middle East," Andrew Shapiro, assistant Secretary of State for political-military affairs, told reporters. But the history of arms sales in the region has shown that the allies we arm one year may turn out be our enemies the next.
In the years preceding the Islamic revolution in Tehran, the United States sold tens of billions of dollars worth of military hardware and technology to the Shah of Iran. When the revolution ushered in the reign of Ayatollah Khomeini, America was confronted with a new enemy in the Middle East, one armed with American high-tech weapons.
President Barack Obama signed a law on New Year's Eve granting him power to detain Americans indefinitely.
The Council on Foreign Relations recently asked the above question of some of its favorite commentators. One of the answers sent to this seat of the Eastern Liberal Establishment likely surprised whoever received it. Andrew Bacevich is a professor of International Relations at Boston University. He happens to be a fairly new member of the CFR. But he is also the father of an Iraq War victim; his U.S. Army lieutenant son perished during the fighting.
In his uninvited response to the query posed by the CFR, Professor Bacevich scoffed at the customarily cited benefit — the capture and death of Saddam Hussein. Then, without mentioning the loss of his son, he added:
In a front-page editorial Thursday, the publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader told readers of the statewide daily that "Ron Paul is a dangerous man." While the Republican presidential candidate's libertarian views on domestic issues are attractive to some voters, the editorial conceded, "it is Paul's position on issues of our national security that are truly dangerous."
"He has repeatedly said that we should allow Iran to continue to develop a nuclear weapon," is one of the charges against Paul in the editorial, written by publisher Joseph W. McQuaid "This is the same country whose leadership vows death to America, the 'Satanic power,' and who wants Israel wiped from the map." Yet the editorial page of the same newspaper two days earlier featured a column by Patrick J. Buchanan, in which the columnist cited the statement of Pentagon spokesman George Little in clarifying recently televised comments by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.
"The secretary was clear that we have no indication that the Iranians have made a decision to develop a nuclear weapon," Little said. While statements by President Obama and the other GOP presidential candidates have either alleged or implied that Iran is right on the verge of producing a nuclear bomb, Rep. Paul has argued against forcing a military confrontation over a weapon that might not even be in the developmental stages — one that, according to the Pentagon spokesman, the Iranian government may not have even decided to build. Paul insists that our nearly nine-year war in Iraq over alleged "weapons of mass destruction" should be instructive in that regard.

This quiver is great with my Longbow

Comments about Great Northern Longbow 5-Arrow Bow Quiver:
I've had this Quiver on my bow which is an Adironak Hunts. This is the 4th year that i had it, and it works well for me. When you get the straps wrapped all around tightly and snugged, it'll never come off and/or not even move an inch.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not what I was expecting...
By farmermarley
from Sebastopol, CA
About Me Beginner
I was recommended by the bowyer that this quiver would work well with my RD longbow. When I opened the box I was very surprised by the far from appealing appearance of this cheap looking bow quiver!I hate to make a decision on a product based mostly on appearance. I usually am only interested in functionality. But in this instance the appearance of this product made me doubt it's functionality even before I put it on my bow. I could tell by the stitching and how the leather was folded and how roughly molded the rubber straps were...this did not look like a quality product. This did not look like something I would ever want to strap onto my bow...This definitely did not look like something I would pay a significant chunk of change for. If it were cheap and made in China I would not have judged it so harshly.I am so glad that 3Rivers offers a good return policy. I returned this quiver before ever using it.
Too Heavy
By neilbilly

About Me Competitive Archer
Had to buy a small gripper to fit my 600 carbon shafts, and this weighed my bow down so bad it fatigued my bow arm in a couple shots. I sold it.
Great Northern Longbow Quiver
By Kevin Crabb
from Colorado and Texas
I use this on a Great Northern Bush Longbow.This Quiver fits perfectly. its easy to install and remove. The Straps Grip the bow limbs and do not slip. they hold in place.(read the instructions on how to install if needed). Shooting the bow with this quiver on was good, no interference. being able to take this quiver off and on with out un-stringing the bow is nice. well made and crafted and easy to use. Great product.
Traditional Excellence
By Long Bow
from St. Louis, Mo
A perfect compliment to my T-Hawk Woodland Hunter! It doesn't get any better. Great traditional look with quality, well thought out durable construction.
Didn't care for this quiver
By rraming
from Minneapolis
I own a few quivers and purchased this one feeling as though it was all the rage - well it wasn't - the rubber strap "things" used to attach to the bow were about a foot long - I guess your suppose to wrap them around and around the bow several times - what a joke. I have thunderhorn and selway quiver (both better) and a few side and back quivers - this was my least favorite of them all - it was returned
I would recommend this quiver.
By Mark
from Wasilla, AK
This is a very light and simple to use quiver. It fits and works perfect for the Saxon Hawk recurve bow that use. Great quiver and quality construction.
The best longbow quiver around
By The Governor
from Central PA
I put this quiver on a longbow that my friend made for me as a wedding gift. It is very simple but extremely effective, and attaches to any bow in a snap. The quiver is well constructed and lightweight. Adding the quiver to my bow had very little affect on the feel of the shot. In my opinion, it's the best longbow quiver on the market.I highly recommend this for anyone that needs a quiver to hunt with their longbow.

"I'm starving," a student in Zero George's weekly Saturday morning cooking class exclaimed as she reluctantly handed off a cauliflower floret for the next student to examine.
Executive chef Randy Williams' two-hour instructional sessions, which this month were honored by Food & Wine as one of the nation's top three new cooking courses, are far from frivolous eating-and-drinking affairs: He doesn't uncork a bottle of wine until the second hour starts. Instead, as I observed when I swung by this weekend, the classes are designed to emphasize contemporary techniques and encourage students to think like chefs.
On Saturday, Williams – wearing a chef's jacket and cowboy boots – demonstrated how to prepare a butternut squash puree, roasted pork loin and olive oil cake. The cake recipe he distributed was written out in metric measurements, because "that's how more people like to do it now." He also stressed asymmetrical plating and advised that "people are getting away from blanching vegetables ahead of time."
Williams threw out words like "supremes" and "pellicule," but never without immediately defining them: His overarching goal was for students to grasp pureeing and pan roasting, rather than walk away knowing how to make a specific dinner.
All the midday class was missing was pre-meal snacks: "That smells good," a student said enthusiastically when a pot came off the stove. "That smells so good," another agreed. Williams, puzzled, responded "It's just sugar and water. That's all it is."
Still, the eight-person program is an intimate alternative to the arena-style classes offered at Southern Season. The cozy zinc-topped sewing table that functions as Williams' teaching space is positioned in the boutique hotel's lobby. "One of the fun things is you answer a lot of questions about restaurants," he says of being situated in a tourist hub.
(If you're wondering, he tends to recommend Two Boroughs Larder and Xiao Bao Biscuit.)
Zero George offers cooking classes on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays at 11 a.m. The fee is $125; call 817-7900 for reservations or more information.

First of all, I want to congratulate Riot for finishing something they're obviously really excited about and have been working on for a long time. Dominion does look fun, but I will hold my reservations until I actually play it. I do have a couple of concerns I would like addressed, however.
1) The Twisted Treeline effect. Riot has already experimented with a new map/game mode with TT, and it has failed drastically. LoL is balanced around Summoner's Rift and competitive gameplay, and tried to incorporate that with TT and failed. Many people have been clamoring for a new 5v5 map to play competitively on, as the same map does get VERY tiring after a while (looking at Magma Chamber). Instead we get another map that is focused on a completely different gameplay type, and isn't meant to be competitive. I understand the market for this, but it simply is NOT big enough to prioritize this over something like Magma Chamber, which a majority of the player base would play more frequently than Dominion. Can you provide any solid reasons that will keep people playing Dominion regularly over SR, other than "Wait until you play it and see it at PAX?"
2) Priority of content released. As we have all discussed over the time we have played LoL, many features have been promised, announced, and then put in a priority list. I would like explanations of why things like Tribunal and Mastery Pages were put ahead of major, MAJOR features like Magma Chamber, Project Shiny, and other such features. I understand the staffing issues, but why not focus your recruiting efforts extremely hard on positions to get these features done, than continuing to hire community people and people who can code Tribunal (which is flawed) and Mastery Pages (only client side). It just seems confusing to me that Riot wants to put out small, meaningless features in the long and short run, instead of putting out major stuff that will stick with players and improve the quality and depth of the game.
3) Seemingly hypocritical statements. Riot states they want to be open, they want to be in touch with the community, and provide updates that will make players happy. However, when players ask for updates and other such information, they are met with either trolling or something along the lines of "Soon, we have many things we have coming out but can't talk about yet! Trust us, it's coming Soon^TM." We all know the jokes, but to be honest Riot should never have let it get to the point where Soon has become a community meme. I understand the need to keep secrets from competitors, but the least you could do is give some general hints or general info, nothing specific. Say, "we're working on a feature that would bring a different feel to the 5v5 competitive environment, trying to spruce up and excite players." Doesn't that sound a lot better than, "We can't tell you, but Soon!"
4) Rioters seemingly trolling players/posters on forums. I understand that many employees at Riot are/were players and forum goers before they were hired at Riot, but this does not give them the excuse to go troll posters. As Red's, they are looked at for information and important posts, thus held to a higher standard. I am fairly skilled in marketing and PR, and if I saw a company blatantly lying and trolling their customers, I would tend to shy away from their business. I'm not saying they cannot have fun, but when it comes to stuff like Balance, Features, Gameplay, or other similar avenues, it is unacceptable for Riot to go around trolling.
With all that said, for a company as young as Riot is, they are doing a wonderful job. They do have some major areas to improve on, but what young company does. They do have a wonderful relationship with the community, which is fairly rare. Very rarely does a company President interact with the customers on such a regular and personal basis. I applaud Riot for this, and wish them the best in the future. I just wish some of these points would be addressed and discussed seriously.

Well said. Can't +1 this hard enough.
Dude well freakin' said bro. I couldn't put it in better terms. I really like what Riot did with LoL and I enjoy the game alot. I don't know why there is a 3v3 to be honest tho, I myself have not even touched it so I guess I should STFU there, but a new map for 5v5 would be awesome.
Googled pictures of this so called "Magma Chamber" the concept of that map looks freakin wicked sweet, wish it will be pushed out to release...
On the topic tho...Riot needs to improve in various aspects of the way they do things. They have a great game but that only does not make up for their lack of support and frustrating forum post. Also what you OP have stated about Mods in a forum post, I read that and go WTF did a "Red" seriously post this? It's not cool to tell your customers "Oh it'll be here soon" or whatever your excuse is.
Alot of hot titles approaching soon, if Riot doesn't clean up their act, they'll lose that fancy "15mil subscribers" faster than getting ganked by Annie bot. Riot, you were gamers at one point so you know how it feels, don't be jerks.

JQA's Self-Assessment on His Birthday in 1812
On 11 July 1812, John Quincy Adams (JQA) celebrated his 45th birthday. JQA was living in St. Petersburg, Russia, where he was serving as a diplomat from the United States. His title was minister plenipotentiary to Russia, a position to which he was appointed in 1809. Although he was still several years away from his eventual accomplishments as secretary of state under President James Monroe, and his own challenging term as U.S. President, by 1812, JQA had held a number of notable professional positions. He had worked as a lawyer, held diplomatic positions in the Netherlands and in Prussia, served as a U.S. Senator, and taught rhetoric at Harvard.
By the summer of 1812, JQA had an active family life too. He and his wife, Louisa Catherine Adams (LCA), had three sons and a daughter. JQA and LCA made the long journey to Russia in the summer of 1809 with their third son, Charles Francis Adams leaving their two older sons, George Washington Adams and John Adams 2d, in the care of relatives in New England. In August 1811, JQA and LCA celebrated the birth of their daughter, who was named after her mother.
Despite these significant professional and personal accomplishments, JQA gave a rather harsh assessment of his situation on his birthday in 1812:
I am forty-five years old— Two thirds of a long life are past, and I have done Nothing to distinguish it by usefulness to my Country, or to Mankind— I have always lived with I hope a suitable sense of my duties in Society, and with a sincere desire to perform them— But Passions, Indolence, weakness, and infirmity have sometimes made me swerve from my better knowledge of right, and almost constantly paralyzed my efforts of good— I have no heavy charge upon my Conscience—for which I bless my Maker, as well as for all the enjoyments that he has liberally bestowed upon me— I pray for his gracious kindness in future— From John Quincy Adams diary 28, 5 August 1809 – 31 July 1813, page 394.
Do you think JQA had "done Nothing to distinguish [his life] by usefulness to [his] Country"?
If somehow you were able to send JQA a birthday message in 1812, what would you say?

Following writing the tweet/FB update/Linkedin update above I was written to by Linkedin. They advised that my followers on Linkedin would not be able to see my updates. I responded:
Four journalists spoke to me about the story following my update above, Fergus Ryan at China Spectator, Tania Branigan at The Guardian, Austin Ramsey at The New York Times and Gwynn Guilford at Quartz.
"I'm very unhappy about it. I think it's really unprofessional. Especially as I was only sharing things that are already in the public domain," Ms Couchman told China Spectator.

LinkedIn said: 'To create value for our members … we will need to implement the Chinese government's restrictions on content.'
Networking site's decision to stop members accessing prohibited content goes beyond Beijing's strict web censorship rules
Tania Branigan in Beijing
The Guardian
Business networking site LinkedIn has said it will stop users seeing content posted from China that breaches the country's strict censorship laws, after members complained that posts related to the Tiananmen anniversary had been blanked out.
LinkedIn is one of the few foreign social media services accessible from mainland China – where Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and others are blocked – and launched a Chinese-language service earlier this year, but does not have servers on the mainland.
Its decision goes beyond Beijing's requirements to restrict what users in China see and effectively exports some Chinese controls on content, though a spokesman said it was intended to protect users.
Artist Helen Couchman and journalist Fergus Ryan both reported receiving messages warning them that items they had posted would not be seen by LinkedIn members as they "contained content prohibited in China".
Couchman, who lived in China for several years, said the decision to block articles she had shared about detained artist Guo Jian was outrageous. "I wasn't even sharing an opinion," she added.
Guo, who has Australian citizenship, was taken away by police in Beijing shortly after the publication of an interview in which he described participating in 1989's pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square and discussed a work he had created commemorating the bloody crackdown.
Ryan said in an article for the China Spectator site, for which he reports from China, that he too had posted pieces about Guo.
Roger Pua, director of corporate communications in the Asia-Pacific region for LinkedIn, said the company strongly supported freedom of expression, but added: "To create value for our members in China and around the world, we will need to implement the Chinese government's restrictions on content, when and to the extent required … Members in China will not be able to access content that is prohibited in China."
But the site is also preventing people outside China from seeing material that censors disapprove of if it was first posted from China.
Pua said: "Outside of China, members will be able to view content that is restricted in China, unless that content originated in China – this is to protect the privacy and security of the member who posted that content.
" "LinkedIn, by its nature, is a professional network and not prone to conversations that are political in nature. We think the impact is very, very small."
While most Chinese rely on heavily censored Chinese services – such as the Sina Weibo microblog – some, including many activists and dissidents, use VPNs or other methods to post material on Twitter and Facebook.
LinkedIn said in February that it was applying to set up operations in China, acknowledging it would need to comply with Chinese government demands to filter content.
Cynthia Wong, senior internet researcher at Human Rights Watch, said that while she was not aware of the LinkedIn case, "the best practice that has emerged is that companies will not censor for the world".
She added: "If there's material that needs to be taken down in one jurisdiction, competitors will leave it up for the rest of the world – precisely for the reason that we should not allow the internet to go to the lowest common denominator; it should not be scrubbed of everything bar material acceptable to the least tolerant government out there."
Michael Anti, a Chinese commentator, said: "It means Linkedin now publicly accepts Chinese censorship rule for anyone who is in mainland China, without any hesitation."
He compared it to Microsoft's decision to remove his Chinese-language blog in 2005 – a move that sparked international criticism.
In that case, he said, "the company felt wrong and shameful. So you know how much internet freedom we have lost worldwide in the past decade."
LinkedIn is censoring posts about Tiananmen Square by Gwynn Guilford
4th June 2014
Find the full article here:
…Another person to encounter LinkedIn's censorship was Helen Couchman, an artist and longtime Beijing resident who moved to Britain in February 2013, according to the China Spectator. Couchman said that LinkedIn deleted her post linking to an article about the Chinese authorities' detention of Guo Jian, a Chinese-Australian artist and friend of Couchman's. (She shared the same article on Facebook and Twitter, where her posts are still available.) She subsequently tweeted her dismay at LinkedIn…
Couchman's LinkedIn account appears to be hosted on the mainland China site, cn.linkedin.com, which might explain why her posts fell under its censorship…

Homeschool of Fish – Shy Kid Syndrome?
Megan Ryan's Voice - Another myth about homeschooling that worries otherwise well-meaning people is social skills. "How will my child(ren) have any friends if they don't go to public school? How will they learn to interact with other people? Won't they end up shy and backwards?" Okay, all of you homeschoolers can stop laughing now
If you've asked yourself this question (or been pelted with it by someone else) you need to stop and ask, do you send your children to school so they can hang out with friends or to actually learn something? Ask any school teacher that question and he/she will bemoan the fact that children spend WAY too much time socializing and not enough time paying attention in class.
Every parent wants their child to be properly socialized so the question really is, exactly what important interpersonal skills do your children learn by hanging out with others in their peer group? The proper techniques and applications of a wedgie? :-O The reality is that homeschooled children spend far much more time interacting (and actually communicating) with adults, therefore they end up with more advanced social skills than their public school counterparts. An added bonus is the homeschooling parent has more control over who their child makes friend with. We belong to a Catholic homeschooling group (as mentioned in this previous post) and I can guarantee you there are no purple mohawks or pierced eyelids to be found. So our boys have a large pool of children from which to choose their friends so there is no such thing as 'cloistered shy kid' syndrome.
Liam Marcus' Voice – LOL – public school social skills equate to knowing how to wear your pants just below your southern cheeks. In any case, another shot in the dark as far as I am concerned. There is too much proof that public education is to entrap young minds into thinking they are more than slaves to the system. Simple, they have become dumbing institutions, not even indoctrination institutions, dumbing institutions – period. Homeschooling is a threat to the national security of the Communists running this country and the international bankers, nothing more. Holy Mother Mary, please, pray for us!
Heading Into Foreign Waters – Part 27
Megan Ryan's Voice – Eating organic on a dime has proved to be a challenge, but lots of fun! Especially when we have a week like last week. Our bag of food from the organic rabbit farm contained Romaine lettuce, a dozen pears, green noodle beans, six eggplants, a dozen eggs, beef and broth, chives, and winter savory. The pears are so delicious I can't begin to describe! Imagine the best pear you ever got from the grocery store and multiply the taste by ten! MMmmmmm! They reminded me of the giant pear tree on the neighboring farm where I grew up. I would shimmy up that thing and drop them down to my parents below who would collect them in baskets. The owners didn't live there so they didn't mind us harvesting all those juicy organic pears. No, I'm not that old, but most things were still organic back then. The pesticide/fertilizer craze was only beginning to catch on.
Our stop at the local organic farmer guy's produce stand yielded six red peppers, five cantaloupes, five fat slicing tomatoes, six bulbs of garlic, three apples, four mangos, and a dozen each of lemons and limes. And we paid…(drumroll please)…$10 for all of it! That's like buying the cantaloupes at supermarket price and getting the rest for FREE! He traded us for some soaps, deodorants, candles, etc. we bought super cheap with coupons. We LOVE the barter system!
Liam Marcus' Voice – I had a temptation today to switch from organic to conventional. I don't know, I guess I'm tired of the expense (mostly the raw milk) and the trips. Granted, I feel better than I've ever felt before switching to organic food, but when you realize the fraud being perpetuated right before our eyes I feel defeated. It is nothing new. We have heard about it from nutritionists and organic farms, mind you, the ones who are not USDA certified organic. And that is USDA certified organic is NOT or MAY NOT BE 100% organic after all. Right now it can be 95% organic and 5% whatever else they are allowed to put in the foodstuffs - GMO comes to mind, and everything else that has not been tested comes to mind too. That's why we prefer non-USDA certified local farms for our food. We know them personally and they know us, and it all works on the honor system. It's downright oppressive and unnecessary for a farm to become USDA certified organic. Just read "Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal" by Joel Salatin if you want some examples.
Paranoid. Right! Of a government committing fraud every chance they get, bankrupt and enslaving the people with perpetual payments to a 200 year old war debt? Nah, I'm not paranoid. I don't trust them, period! Keep praying for the politicians who hold office and power of attorney over those who exercise their only right under the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the united States of America: voting.
Happy B-Day to Me, Happy B-Day to Me…
Arturo's Voice – On August 3, 1996, Medialog staff met with Pope John Paul II and presented to him our Campaign – BAPTISM BIRTHDAY.
Through Baptism we become a member of the Body of Christ and are divinized… that is, we are made divine. Many of you will be shocked by this thought but it is what it means to be Christian. We become one in, with and through Jesus Christ who is God the Son incarnate.
Pope John Paul II reiterated this truth by changing our term, 'Spiritual Birthday' to 'Divine Birthday'. Reflect upon your Baptism and celebrate it as your being a new creation born from above.
Like Mother, Like…Son??
Megan Ryan's Voice – I had one of those moments yesterday where you're holding your sobbing and hysterical child and trying not to laugh. Toddler 3.10 scared himself silly by turning the volume up too high on the living room stereo. I had just finished telling him that all those shiny knobs and buttons were not toys when, as soon as I turned my back, he gave the volume knob a hearty spin. KAPOW! Deafening music and a three year old holding his ears, screaming, and running in place. Luckily I was still right there and turned it back down for him. Then he cried and cried as I held him and tried not to laugh. Why was I laughing? Because according to my own mother (I was too young to remember it myself) I did the EXACT same thing when I was three, on exactly the same stereo unit which she passed on to me a few years ago. It's a ridiculously powerful stereo. We always play it with the volume knob in position one (out of 25!) and if we really want to rock 'da howse we'll turn it up to position two! Toddler 3.10′s spin got up somewhere around position 18…ouch! I wonder if he'll remember the experience or forget it like I did?
What about you? Feel free to tell us about your (not so) funny childhood or parent experiences in the comments section of this post. God bless!
Homeschool of Fish – Year 4, Part 13
Megan Ryan's Voice – One common concern for parents considering homeschooling their children is intelligence. Not the child's but the parents' own. "Am I smart enough to teach my children everything? I was never very good at (insert subject here) when I was in school so how can I teach it?" The short answer is: You don't have to be smart enough! The curriculum you choose does it all for you. If you are a little lacking in one area and your child needs help, all you need do is open up that chapter and learn for yourself. Then you and your child can wade through it and learn together. A second tool the majority of homeschooling parents choose is the co-op option. You join a local group of homeschooling families, get together on a somewhat regular basis, and help each other. For example, our Catholic homeschooling group is quite informal (we like it that way). All run by volunteer parents (God bless 'em!), we get together once a week for classes and playtime during the school year. A parent who is strong in geometry (or brave enough to try!) will offer to teach a "class" of any other children whose parents aren't comfortable teaching the subject themselves. Science labs? No problem! If you'd rather do it in a group than teach your own children, you can get together with the other parents and organize it together.
Liam Marcus' Voice- Thankfully I'm strong in all subjects, so that was one thing we didn't have to worry about. We recently talked about dropping the courses that will not help the children. We engaged in a discussion about instituting hands-on skills like plumbing, heating and ventilation, carpentry, etc. These, we think, are the skill of the future. LOL – I never thought I would catch myself saying something like that, but considering the future of this communist country, I say go back to basics.
Homechooling doesn't have to be as intimidating as you think. Google homeschooling groups in your area, then go out and meet them. We can almost guarantee you'll find lots of nice parents there who can answer your questions and set your mind at ease.
Planned Parenthood Issued Abortion/Sex Guides For Youth
By Amanda Pawloski of C-Fam.org
NEW YORK, July 7 (C-FAM) In advance of the UN youth conference later this month, the International Planned Parenthood Federation released two new publications on abortion and sexual rights for youth. The new documents are the latest part of the organization's larger campaign targeted at teenagers and older children.
The "I Decide" abortion diaries, provides stories of young women seeking abortions, as well as graphic descriptions of s**, detailed advice on how to avoid pregnancy, and how teens can evade disapproving parents.
The publication informs young women "if you use misoprostol on your own, you will be advised to take the tablets by placing them under your tongue and this way, no one would be able to tell that you had used drugs to induce the abortion unless you told them yourself." The U.S. branch of Planned Parenthood has recently come under public scrutiny for its deceptive and illegal tactics in dealing with minors.
Last year, the Girl Scouts became embroiled in controversy when another IPPF sex guide, called "Healthy, Happy, and Hot" was distributed at their side-event during the Commission on the Status of Women. The sex guide, targeted at youth living with HIV/AIDS, promotes masturbation, sex under the influence of drugs and alcohol, as well as not-disclosing one's HIV/AIDS status to one's partner.
IPPF is a multi-million dollar organization, which includes contributions from the United Nations Population Fund and the World Health Organization. The organization has made youth and sexual rights one of its top priority areas of advocacy. To read the rest of the article from the source, Click Here.

Failure? Well, Maybe A Little
Megan Ryan's Voice – I've been canning my fanny off lately. We got some late season organic strawberries and some organic cherries for cheap from the supermarket so we decided to stock up and preserve them. I made Crunchy Catholic Momma's Vanilla Strawberry Jam, and this recipe for cherry pie filling. We'll use the pie filling for the next time we make our Teenagers' favorite chocolate cake. Both recipes are delicious, but since I'm such a newbie I'm having trouble getting the strawberry jam to thicken beyond the syrup stage. I want to avoid using boxed pectin so maybe add/use corn starch instead?? Any suggestions?
Liam Marcus' Voice – Ahh, the strawberry preserves are fantastic… I don't care what you say. I've been munching on some bits of historic events I realize are unequivocally essential to know about. Lincoln was the best tyrannical presidents this country has ever put in power, but he is not worth getting all worked up about. What's done is done, so let's sit down and watch a movie whilst enjoying an organic slice of wheat bread with homemade organic strawberry preserve spread all over it – yummo!
Heading Into Foreign Waters – Part 26
Megan Ryan's Voice- Okay, so what the heck does one do with raw peanuts?? We got some in our weekly bag of food from the organic rabbit farm, and we were stumped…Okay, Marcus may have been stumped too, but at least he had the chutzpah to DO something with them. Since we already had the deep fryer ready on the counter the other day he decided to just dump them in there to see what happened. We fried those suckers in the shell for about a half an hour until they were finally done. They were pretty good after we shelled and salted them. We also got a watermelon, Swiss chard, red noodle beans, cucumbers, eggs, ground beef, eggplant, basil, loads of sage (Yippee!), and some strange white pea pod things.
We skipped the local organic guy's produce stand this week because we still have lots of tomatoes, and his fruit selection is a bit slim at the moment. We picked up some discount organic fruit at the local health food store for cheap, and harvested LOADS of organic basil from our own garden – Yay! Our first ever herb harvest is in the dehydrator as we speak – how kewl is that?! Yes, I'm a nerd and I'm okay with that.
Liam Marcus' Voice – Soon we'll be accessories to illegal broccoli smuggling, baby! Check out the video here.

"Woman with Umbrella in Rain" by Raimund von Stillfried. Artist: Kusakabe Kimbei (Japanese, 1841–1934), 1870s. Commercial photography studios in Meiji-era Japan were renowned for the subtlety and refinement of their coloring techniques. This hand-tinted image of a young woman caught in a heavy rainstorm achieved its naturalistic effect by knitting together multiple strands of artifice: the greenery in the foreground was a studio prop; the flaps of the kimono were suspended by thin wires to create the impression of a strong wind; and long, diagonal marks were made on the negative to suggest streaks of rain.

Photos: Getting Drunk at the Third Annual Brooklyn Pour
The good people at the Village Voice set up shop at Skylight One Hanson in Fort Greene on Saturday for the third annual Brooklyn Pour New York Craft Beer Festival. It's a magical event where many of the country's premiere breweries—including many from New York—are on hand serving up samples of their beers to lots and lots of people, many of whom have beards, some of whom do this weird, sort of embarrassing thing where they tie pretzel necklaces around their neck in order to keep their stomach lined, I guess, and some of whom (more than usual this year, in fact, which was a pleasant surprise) are even of the female persuasion. If I was forced to choose a personal favorite of the many beers I sampled, I'd have to go with Money IPA from Long Island's own Barrier Brewing. Sticky, citrusy and just a little bit sweet, it is without question one of the best beers being made in the state. [More…]

Ferris Bueller plays your average all-american computer hacker who gets himself into a little bit of trouble playing video games with NORAD. Now it's up to him and his naysaying friend-who-is-a-girl to save the world from thermonuclear history.
