Independence Day
I was chatting with a friend this morning and he mentioned that he has been trying to convince his co-workers this week that we are not celebrating the 4th of July: we are celebrating INDEPENDENCE DAY. He makes an excellent point.
This holiday is not about BBQs and boat rides. It's not about fireworks displays. It's not about getting a day off work and a long weekend. It is about a time when our nation stood up on its hind legs and said, "We've had enough, England. We're tired of over taxation. We're tired of big government telling us what we can and cannot do, think and believe. We're tired of Aristocrats looking down their noses at us and treating us as mindless rabble. We're tired of being exploited and lied to."
And we did something about it. A nation of farmers and shopkeepers took up arms and went toe-to-toe with the British military … and beat them. But not without significant loss of life and damage to property. In so doing, we earned the right to think for ourselves, to govern ourselves.
THAT is what the celebration held on July 4th is all about, and we would do well to remember Independence Day so we do not once again become dependent, which leads to subjugation.
By all means: fire up the grill, invite friends and family, and touch off some fireworks. But as you celebrate, remember that the celebration is not about burgers on the grill or booming starfires in the sky – it's about freedom.
A Right Fine Settn Porch
There are few things I find more enjoyable than the simple pleasure of sitting on a proper porch with my beloved and a glass of cold lemonade on a warm summer evening. This evening is one such.
Temperatures during the day had gotten up into the mid 80s, but as the sun slides down behind English Mountain across the valley from us the temperature eases. The sky splashed with pink, rose, mauve and vermilion slowly deepens into amethyst, violet and plum. A few bright stars burn through the gauzy haze of high, thin clouds which provide a canvass for the setting sun to paint upon.
To the south the multiple ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains slowly disappear into the dusk. A Chuck Wills Widow sits in the top of a tree across the hard-road, a hundred feet or so downhill from us, and serenades us with his gentle melody. Crickets chip, cicadas thrum, tree frogs trill.
A flying beetle thumps determinedly against the glass of the porch light. It looks like a June bug, but it's the wrong time for June bugs, unless he's a confused June bug. I switch the light off to save him from endangering his well being (and annoying us) and so we can get a clearer view now that the sky is dark. Read the rest of this entry »
Concerto of Pain
A single, high, prolonged trumpet blast shatters my blissful bubble of sleep. Was that Gabriel? Is it time?
Alas, no. As consciousness replaces confusion I find that the blast was not sound but pain – which can be similar – and the trumpeting is emanating from my right shoulder. Now that I am more aware, my neck and upper back begin playing harmony to the lead trumpet in a horn concerto of pain.
I attempt to mute the performance by shifting position. But that only boosts the volume.
I am cold. It was hot when I fell asleep and I covered only with the sheet. Now it's cooler and the muscles in my back and neck are tense from the chill. I pull up the quilt and wrap it around me. In a few moments the harmonies diminish, but the lead horn continues blasting its lilting tone.
I reach for my watch: 3:30 a.m. A groan offers bass counterpoint to the tenor lead horn, which continues to strip away the grogginess of slumber. Twenty minutes pass and other instruments are joining the melody of madness. Hips, lower back, an elbow chime in. A tooth throbs in low accompaniment.
Sleep is defeated, sent scurrying away by this reveille. I roll out of bed, test my balance and head for the Tylenol bottle and coffee maker.
It's Monday morning. I pulled a stump Saturday afternoon. As is generally the case, (Read more: )
This Writer's Home: Our Bungalow, What and Why
The home Marie and I built here on our mountainside property is a bungalow. No, not a dung beetle, not a buffalo, a bungalow.
Initially we were certain we wanted a genuine log home, because they just look so GOOD tucked back into the woods and because their solid log walls are touted as being highly thermally efficient. So I researched the various species and shapes of logs used, construction methods, benefits and drawbacks. I read many personal tales of folks who had built a log home, what worked, what went wrong, and how they felt about it years later. In the end we abandoned the log home idea for several reasons:
Driving Through Life
Life is like driving a car. There are many, many things vying for your attention, some of them important, some of them best ignored. Knowing which is which is key.
Among the most important is the road ahead. Look as far down it as you can and watch for signs of trouble. By seeing a potential problem ahead of time you can slow down, look it over, and steer around it safely.
Watch for the signs and signals posted along the way. They are there to guide you. When you reach a cross-road, be alert for traffic which may not yield to you, and know which way you need to turn. Driving around aimlessly is not likely to get you to your destination.
It is good to glance in the rear view mirror from time to time to keep tabs on what's behind you, but don't focus on it. Becoming fixated on analyzing the past will only blind you to what's ahead and cause a collision with something you could have easily avoided had you been paying attention.
God is the trustworthy traffic reporter hovering high above. He sees all the roads and crossroads, knows where the trouble is and how to get around it. Tune Him in and He'll advise you on how to avoid the snarls and frustrations of life. Tune Him out and you won't know you're heading for trouble until you're caught up in it with no way around.
If you remain aware of what's behind you, but focus on what's ahead and stay open to advice from above, life will be much more simple and you're more likely to arrive at your chosen destination safe and sound.
Warts and All: Made a Mistake?
I once posted one of those step-by-step discussions of how we build a piece of furniture; the more interesting discussions from our In The Shop blog become permanent articles in the library section of our custom furniture web site. In this episode I discovered a mistake had been made in the piece of furniture and discussed my remedy for the error. Shortly after having posted the chapter I was hailed by a constant reader and frequent critic to ask, "Why in the world did you admit to having made a mistake? Doesn't that undermine peoples' confidence in your work?"
Dealing with a Speed-Bump in Life
It has happened to all of us; we're cruising along the boulevard of life, one elbow out the window, our favorite happy tunes playing on the radio, hand tapping the wheel in time with the tempo. Everything is grand, and we're having a great time. So great we miss the warning sign; "Bump Ahead'. Then BAM-BAM, we're suddenly careening along, barely hanging on as we try to slow down and get off to the shoulder so we can assess the damage.
It's never fun to feel like the wheels have been ripped out from under you, but when it sneaks up on you suddenly, out of the blue is especially devastating. What can you do? How do you proceed from here? Read the rest of this entry »

Britney Spears in Concert: Pole Dancing for Jason Trawick!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Britney Spears combined her professional life and her personal life last night, in the most seductive of ways!
The singer took to the stage in Long Island's Nassau Coliseum and was joined there by boyfriend Jason Trawick... who was handcuffed to a pole and decked out in a boa. Britney then proceeded to belt out a version of "Leather & Lace" while gyrating for her man. And thousands of fans, of course.
The whole thing was almost too much for Brit, who laughed halfway through the routine and announced: "He's never coming back!"
Watch the pole dance take place below, along with another performance from last night's show.
Why are u judging her so hard ? Well yeah she is a mom but she's just trying to make her songs and concert fun and good....
Why can't she live her life like she is trying to ??
Her job is to be a singer with a little entertaining and she probably is a good mom... you dont know it ! You cant always believe everything from the news !
I bet it is harder to have a mom who everyone hates and are judging.. so what's the point ? It doesn't make u better !
Moms are not always slender, and her kids are 4 and 5 and are way to young to care less what their "mom" does, and she is a lousy singer and a slut and a poor excuse for a mom anyway. I feel sorry for her kids because she is so ignorant.
Some of britney fans are dumb. Why would anyone play money to not even really sing? An award show is different but your own concert unreal if i were a britney fan i would feel disrespected
She is aweful. Saw her concert in Philly on 7/30. She lip-synced her songs and hardly dance. Too much fluff. Nicki Minaj Was AMAZING though
Eww. She's husky and plump and looks ridiculous in those outfits. Plus she's a mom too. Ick. How embarrassing for her kids.

Kubiak on ways he helps Schaub:
I don't know that I can read you some specific way to go about it. You just go about it. I've been doing this a long time. I've had to be there for players through rough times in their careers, regardless if they're quarterbacks. I've been with receivers having rough times, (running) backs. The biggest thing is you, as a coach, you see a person's a commitment to what they're doing. And I see this young man's commitment every day and I have seen it for many years here in Houston.
Kubiak on the adversity the team is going through with the Rams up next:
Well, I think it's a huge game. It would be big either way, but, yeah, it's big because of what we've gone through these past three weeks. I see a group of guys that are very close, very committed to each other, very hurt. We had a long ride home last night. The only way you fix those things is you go back and play and do things better. I can't wait for that opportunity to get here. That's part of it. Yes, it is a very big game."

cheap, easy and interesting snacks
- kittychow Aug 30, 2007 09:46 AM
I'm having 1/2 dozen friends up to my family lake house for the long weekend. We've got major meals pretty well covered. Fortunately I have very thoughtful hounds for friends. I'd like to have stuff to snack on around. I tend to get bogged down in high quality easy stuff, like very good cheese plates, or things that take some effort to prepare so I'm a little challenged by the prospect of providing easy snacks. Looking for cheap, easy, and INTERESTING.
I'm keeping it simple one night with a greek inspired dinner. I'll have store bought hummus, dolmades, and olives for that so those easy snacks are out. I've consider homemade guacamole and salsa but have run out of ideas beyond that.
I also don't have loads of time to prepare in advance. Tonight I'll be making the trek late so I've pretty much only got the morning before they all arrive.
Thanks in advance!
Depending on what's available in your area, how about spiced nuts? I did see a recipe for chili-lime peanuts recently on a food blog I believe which was basically roasted unsalted peanuts that you bake with a chili-lime mixture, then allow it to cool completely.
if you are going the salsa and guac route, get some square roll-ups and spread a layer of cream cheese, then one of refried beans, sprinkle with scallions and roll them up, wrap in plastic and chill a few hours until you are ready to server, then slice the roll up into rounds. It's an oldy, but everyone eats them up as soon as they can be sliced.
re: Snowflake
If you add thin slices of roasted turkey to the roll up layer after the cream cheese, delicious too.
Hummus, especially when homemade, is easy and very cheap. It's kinda exotic too, you know? Serve with pita wedges and you have apps for under 5 bucks!
Super easy yumminess. Get a round of brie, put in glass baking dish. If you like, put some crushed garlic on top, then dump a small jar of sun dried tomatoes in oil on top. Cook in oven till heated and gooey (not particular with temp and time here). Stick a knife in it and let them serve it themselves onto a baguette or cracker. So easy, so good.
Have you had roasted chickpeas? It might be redundant since you're already having hummus but it's a different taste even if it is chickpeas. You drain and rinse a can of chickpeas, add seasonings (salt, pepper, cumin, some garlic are my favorites), bake on a cookie tray at 350 for half an hour--they're kind of like a low fat nut.
re: chowser
heh...I forgot about these! I've made them and they ARE excellent ... and cheaper than the spiced nuts.
This is not Grecian, but is a great snack to have in the little candy bowls around the house.
The recipe is called People Chow and is a southern thing:
MIni frosted wheat
peanut butter
powdered sugar.
With a spoon mix peanut butter carefully with the peanut butter without breaking the mini shredded wheat
In a ziplock bag, toss with powdered sugar.
Addictive snack
Baked brie is always a delight to munch on. My preference, though, is for the sweet brie en croute. With the leftover puff pastry, you can roll sticks of them in parmesan and seasme, ranch dressing powder or even BBQ rub and bake for a delicious alternative to chips. If you have a lot of parmesan, you could also make fricco chips. Baked sweet potato or taro fries with seasoned salt are a treat when served with chipotle mayo.
A mix of wasabi peas and cheddar Goldfish are quick and make a visual impact when set out in a clear vase. Colored shrimp crackers (the kind that one fries and puffs) were a favorite treat for me when I was young. If there are any children coming, they will get a kick out of making these exotic morsels.
re: JungMann
Did the wasabi peas and goldfish on your past recommendation - really pretty, fun and a great taste combination!
re: mirage
Glad you enjoyed them! Aren't they surprisingly addictive? I hope you also took my advice of putting them out in a clear vase; I love that look.
edamame. the easiest snack, and cheap if you're near a Trader Joe's. they even sell pre-cooked ones that only need to be thawed. you could make them more interesting with some different soy sauces--one with garlic, one with ginger, wasabi, whatever. (I'm sure you could come up with something more creative!!)
Really good goat cheese in prepared mini-phyllo cups; can be topped w/ herbs, ground pepper or roasted red peppers. Also, halved grape tomatoes skewered on a toothpick w/ a small piece of fresh mozzarella and a folded basil leaf; drizzle w/ balsamic and olive oil and season w/ s&p. Fresh salsa is always good. You can make a nice dip by processing canned Great Northern beans, sun dried tomatoes and olive oil til smooth and a dipping consistency; serve with toasted pita chips for a great and not unhealthy dip.
how about making a big bowl of vinegarette-based pasta salad with lots of veggies? it's great right out of the fridge, and can stand alone or be eaten with grilled meats or a sandwich or whatever.
If you have a nice Asian market pick up an assortment of crackers & other crunchy snacks, there are always lots of interesting options.
For the suggestion of edamame, Food & Wine (I think) had the easiest most addictive recipe a few years ago. Steam the edamame (frozen, shelled is good). Place it in a bowl, drizzle with good olive oil, sprinkle it with a mixture of ground lapsang souchong tea & kosher salt. Just need a few spoonfuls of this mix. Toss well
Another easy nosh is a platter with nice (I like French) feta, Thai basil, walnuts, roughly sliced scallions and warm pita bread. People just choose and roll and happily munch!
If this is full of typos, sorry! The box is still being obscured making it very hard to proof read!

Grit your teeth and listen for the gun
Get in the runners block and kneel
And run the human race
That decadent decathalon and
Let the games begin for real
Stop scaring me- it's bedlam in paradise
Stop I can't see- nowhere I can hide
Scared to run, this monstrous
Marathon of fear
I run the races with a dark horse to win
Across a finish line of fear
I swim a sea of skin, afraid to drown in flesh
X-generation, revolutions here
Scared to have sex- I don't wanna die
Scared I'll be next- I'm scared for my life
Dying to live, but there ain't no way
Outta here alive- all we're all scared there's
Nowhere to run- I'm scared to death
Nowhere to hide- scared I'll be next
Oh- stop, stop, stop, stop
Nowhere to run- I'm scared to death
Nowhere to hide- scared I'll be next
Oh- stop, stop, stop, stop
Am I a prisoner of the universe?
Is destiny fixed among the stars?
Should I cry or laugh?
All I know is that
The best time to laugh
Is any time you can
Life's one big party- thrown here by God
We all get invitations- if we want them or not
It's all truth or dare and nothing is fair, no
No no
We're all scared there's
Oh, it's the decade of fear
No way out of here, no, no, no

Oh scream in my ears
Oh stop what I hear, no, no, no

2 AnswersUnlike many other diseases and chronic medical conditions, good diabetes care depends on self-management. However, because of your child's age, maturity level, or level of experience or skill, he or she may not be able to handle various aspects of diabetes care alone. Because of these factors, or in the event of an emergency, trained school personnel will be needed to check blood glucose levels, to administer insulin or medication, or to recognize and treat hypoglycemia (and administer glucagon) or hyperglycemia.
1 Answer
People with diabetes must manage their blood glucose levels through the careful balance of food, exercise, and medication. Blood glucose monitoring is an essential component to good health. It is the only way of making sure blood glucose levels are maintained within your child's target range.
Your child's immediate access to diabetes equipment and self-care is important so that symptoms don't get worse and so that she or he doesn't miss valuable classroom instruction or other school activities.
You may want your child to check his or her blood glucose levels and promptly treat wherever he or she is at school or during a school-related activity. However, this depends on your child's age, level of experience and skill, and personal preference.
Good diabetes care depends on self-management.

Trained school personnel will be needed to check blood glucose levels, to administer insulin or medication, or to recognize and treat hypoglycemia (and administer glucagon) or hyperglycemia.
1 Answer
Your child's school may already have a policy in effect to deal with the needs of children with chronic illnesses, including diabetes. However, you and your child's health care team will need to develop a Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP)—to address your child's specific health care needs.
The plan spells out the medical care your child should receive at school, including information about blood glucose monitoring, meals and snacks, insulin, and emergency care, which may include the administration of glucagon.
Some children are capable of self-care, whereas other children will need a great deal of help. All children with diabetes will need help in the event of an emergency.
ADA has developed a sample DMMP, which is available on the Internet for printing or downloading at www.diabetes.org or by calling 1-800-DIABETES and asking for a school discrimination packet.
Details of a DMMP
- A child should be able to receive assistance with blood glucose monitoring and insulin or glucagon administration if needed.
- A child can eat whenever and wherever necessary. This includes keeping snacks or glucose tablets close at hand.
- A child can go to the bathroom or water fountain when necessary.
- A child can participate fully in all school activities, including extracurricular activities such as sports or field trips, with diabetes care provided by trained school staff members.
- Option to refrain from exams or physical activity when blood glucose levels are too high or too low.
- A child should be able to eat lunch on schedule, with enough time allotted to finish eating.
- A child can be excused for tardiness in case of a blood glucose problem.
- A child should be allowed to check blood glucose levels in the classroom or wherever he or she happens to be (if the child is capable of this self-management task).
- A child is allowed to be absent, without penalty, for medical appointments and diabetes-related illnesses.
The implementation of a DMMP by the school is called a Section 504 plan if it is developed under the federal Rehabilitation Act or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) if it is developed under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. For example, a physician and parents develop a DMMP. The school, with input from parents, develops the 504 or IEP plan. You'll want to ensure that your school has one of these plans in place so that your child's needs are met.
1 AnswerRobin Miller, MD, Integrative Medicine, answeredA vegetarian diet can be healthier than a meat-eating diet in many ways. In this video, Dr. Robin Miller discusses metabolic syndrome, which increases a non-vegetarian's risk for diabetes.
2 AnswersStacy Wiegman, PharmD, Pharmacy, answeredGlucose is a natural sugar that provides cells with energy. The presence of glucose in the blood stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin. The insulin facilitates the transport of glucose from the blood into the cells where it is used. If not enough insulin is secreted, the glucose blood level remains high. Consistently high blood glucose levels caused by insufficient insulin is diabetes mellitus.
1 AnswerStacy Wiegman, PharmD, Pharmacy, answered
Glucose is a natural sugar that provides cells with energy. Many glucose supplements and gel (jelly-like) products are available. You should always discuss taking these products with your doctor before using them. In small doses, no side effect problems are expected. If used in large doses, however, hyperglycemia may occur. In any dose, the products could cause nausea and stomach upset because they are concentrated glucose products.
But if more serious side effects occur, immediately contact your doctor. The most serious side effect possible would be severe allergic reactions. Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction include:
- Rash
- Hives
- Itching
- Difficulty breathing
- Tightness in the chest
- Swelling (of the mouth, face, lips or tongue)
1 AnswerShelley Peterman Schwarz, Neurology, answeredUse hand tracing to record injection sites. If you are diabetic and have difficulty remembering which fingers have been used for blood sugar monitoring, trace an outline of a pair of hands on a piece of paper and mark the site of the last blood sample. This will help you remember to change sites.
Use a bracelet to remember to alternate injection locations. If you need to alternate injection sites and have trouble remembering which side you did last, wear a bracelet on the arm where the injection went. When you give the next injection, move the bracelet to the other arm. If you don't like to wear bracelets, change a ring from one hand to the other or use a sticky tab on the medication that indicates right or left. If the medication is refrigerated, you may want to use a refrigerator magnet to help you remember which side, arm or leg to use.

You might suggest that your child visit a diabetes educator alone. This gives your child a chance to ask questions and establish a relationship that can be helpful in the future as well. When your child is treated like an adult, he or she may act more like an adult. It is critical that your child understands that it is up to her to take charge of her care.
It is not uncommon for children and teenagers to feel depressed. Eating disorders, especially among girls, are common. One type of eating disorder among teens with diabetes involves skipping insulin. This allows a person to eat and not gain weight. If you start to suspect that your child is depressed or developing any sort of coping problem, eating disorder, or behavioral problem, seek the help of a professional counselor immediately.

Depending on your family, you can expect different responses to your diabetes and different levels of enthusiasm for helping you work toward your diet and exercise goals. Some may partake wholeheartedly, looking at this as a team effort. Other families or family members may resent making changes when they aren't even sick. You need to find the approach that works best for you. In some situations, you may be better off if you go it alone.

When the Miami Marlins built their new stadium, the thought of having to make changes just two years after it was completed probably never even crossed their minds. However, after two seasons of play at the new ballpark, there is a very large part of the fanbase that would love to see the fences moved in.
We have seen both Marlins and visiting players clearly frustrated when they feel they put a strong charge into the ball, only for it to be caught at or before the warning track. Balls that would likely leave every other ballpark come to die at Marlins Park.
Last night on Twitter, we got a glimpse into the minds of what the Marlins players, and possible prospective free agents considering Miami may feel about the ballpark. It started with Logan Morrison responding to Juan C. Rodriguez of the Sun-Sentinel answering a fans question:
Good baseball? Ha, casual fans is what Miami mostly has. They care about homers & W's! @JCRMarlinsbeat A lot more 2 g baseball than homers
— Logan Morrison (@LoMoMarlins) October 19, 2013
Nothing wrong with what Logan said, as Miami fans proved to be extremely casual during the NBA Finals last season. LoMo was then told he needed to adjust to his ballpark after a rant about it's size:
.@JCRMarlinsbeat @easdrobert if u have an offer that is the same amount somewhere else.. They would go somewhere else. Main reason fences!
— Logan Morrison (@LoMoMarlins) October 19, 2013
Hard to adjust to Yellowstone National Park. "@richie_bambara: @LoMoMarlins You got to adjust to your ballpark."
— Logan Morrison (@LoMoMarlins) October 19, 2013
You know that Morrison is not likely alone in these thoughts. This is likely a topic of discussion for Marlins players after every home game in which they feel they had a home run robbed from them due to the park. It's also likely a hot topic when they strike conversations with opposing players.
If owner Jeffery Loria wants to build a contender again, he may need to give serious thoughts to moving the fences in.
Miami Marlins: Defense holds up to become best of the worst | Sun-Sentinel
Being the best of the worst may not be much of a consolation, but the 2013 foundation-setting Miami Marlins will take it.
Dobbs embraces leadership role in Miami | Marlins News
The record showed the Marlins lost 100 games, but the big picture tells Greg Dobbs a different story.
A veteran presence on a youthful squad, Dobbs sees plenty of reasons for optimism as the Marlins move forward. The raw talent, the quality pitching and the players' camaraderie are reasons the 35-year-old wanted to stick around.
2013 Marlins Season in Review: Nathan Eovaldi | Fishstripes
The Miami Marlins got a great return from Nathan Eovaldi in 2013, as the right-hander put up a promising second season on the mound.
Marlins miss opportunity with Jose Abreu signing | Fishstripes
The Miami Marlins missed an opportunity to bring in a potential Cuban star in Jose Abreu, and it was likely due to the team's budget constraints.

You want to say "Hi" to the cute girl on the subway. How will she react? Fortunately, I can tell you with some certainty, because she's already sending messages to you. Looking out the window, reading a book, working on a computer, arms folded across chest, body away from you = do not disturb. So, y'know, don't disturb her. Really. Even to say that you like her hair, shoes, or book. A compliment is not always a reason for women to smile and say thank you. You are a threat, remember? You are Schrödinger's Rapist. Don't assume that whatever you have to say will win her over with charm or flattery. Believe what she's signaling, and back off.
If you speak, and she responds in a monosyllabic way without looking at you, she's saying, "I don't want to be rude, but please leave me alone." You don't know why. It could be "Please leave me alone because I am trying to memorize Beowulf." It could be "Please leave me alone because you are a scary, scary man with breath like a water buffalo." It could be "Please leave me alone because I am planning my assassination of a major geopolitical figure and I will have to kill you if you are able to recognize me and blow my cover."
On the other hand, if she is turned towards you, making eye contact, and she responds in a friendly and talkative manner when you speak to her, you are getting a green light. You can continue the conversation until you start getting signals to back off.
The fourth point: If you fail to respect what women say, you label yourself a problem.
There's a man with whom I went out on a single date—afternoon coffee, for one hour by the clock—on July 25th. In the two days after the date, he sent me about fifteen e-mails, scolding me for non-responsiveness. I e-mailed him back, saying, "Look, this is a disproportionate response to a single date. You are making me uncomfortable. Do not contact me again." It is now October 7th. Does he still e-mail?
Yeah. He does. About every two weeks.
This man scores higher on the threat level scale than Man with the Cockroach Tattoos. (Who, after all, is guilty of nothing more than terrifying bad taste.) You see, Mr. E-mail has made it clear that he ignores what I say when he wants something from me. Now, I don't know if he is an actual rapist, and I sincerely hope he's not. But he is certainly Schrödinger's Rapist, and this particular Schrödinger's Rapist has a probability ratio greater than one in sixty. Because a man who ignores a woman's NO in a non-sexual setting is more likely to ignore NO in a sexual setting, as well.
So if you speak to a woman who is otherwise occupied, you're sending a subtle message. It is that your desire to interact trumps her right to be left alone. If you pursue a conversation when she's tried to cut it off, you send a message. It is that your desire to speak trumps her right to be left alone. And each of those messages indicates that you believe your desires are a legitimate reason to override her rights.
For women, who are watching you very closely to determine how much of a threat you are, this is an important piece of data."—an excerpt from Phaedra Starling's "Schrödinger's Rapist: or a guy's guide to approaching strange women without being maced" (via cuntlovin)
One of the most important pieces of legislation in my day to day life is the Civil Marriage Act.
"This enactment extends the legal capacity for marriage for civil purposes to same-sex couples in order to reflect values of tolerance, respect and equality, consistent with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It also makes consequentialamendments to other Acts to ensure equal access for same-sex couples to the civil effects of marriage and divorce."
Without this I would not have the amazing life I do. Well I would but it would not be recognized nationally and socially in the same scale and it would have cost alot more for my wife to change her name. It does surprise me though that after almost 7 years after Royal Assent I still encounter roadblocks and bigotry more often than anyone should. This week it was our dentist's office repeated reference to my wife as my sister (creepy ew gross). I guess those Canadian values of tolerance, respect and equality haven't trickled down as far as they should yet. Too bad, he did good work, except that whole hiring a bigot to manage his clerical work thing.

Every day we like to shine a spotlight on people doing amazing work — both with Charity Miles and without. Today we're featuring Kyle Jennings, a writer and editor with a penchant for marathoning her favorite shows on Netflix. She's a fan of running and is taking on a different kind of marathon, a real one, this fall. She's mostly excited, but a little nervous, and wants to make it count.
What is your greatest accomplishment as of late?
Scrounging up the courage to actually register for a marathon. That was a big deal for me. I ran my first half-marathon last summer and that experience got me hooked - I knew I wanted to run a longer distance, but the thought of attempting 26.2 miles was really intimidating. I'm really glad I got over my immediate anxiety and did it.
Who do you exercise for, and why?
Mostly, I exercise for me. It's the time during my day that I have to myself to work off the stress and weight of the day. Running gives me a chance to clear my head. Banging the weights around is therapeutic and empowering. Sweat is liquid catharsis. The endorphin rush doesn't hurt either! Since using Charity Miles, I also exercise for others and that adds a whole other level of responsibility and accomplishment to my work outs. I get such a sense of fulfillment knowing that every step I take is doing a little bit of good.

Just 9 days before her whip-it induced medical emergency ... Demi Moore partied under the radar at Miley Cyrus' BF's birthday bash in L.A. ... you know, the one with the penis cake ... more evidence that Demi was desperately clinging on to her fading youth.
Multiple sources who were at Club Icon on January 14 tell us ... Demi was hanging out with her daughter Rumer and some young friends ... mostly kickin' it in the VIP section.
We're told Demi was drinking Red Bull all night ... a drink she's been obsessively sucking down for years. We're told she left with Rumer sometime after midnight.
A few days later, Demi was seen clubbing with Rumer around Hollywood ... and on January 23rd, she was hospitalized after inhaling nitrous oxide in the form of whip-its, a drug that's super popular with high school kids.
People familiar with the situation tell us ... it's not hard to connect the dots. The woman who became famous for what people thought was eternal youth became a believer in the illusion, and it manifested itself in various ways -- partying with her daughter and her 20-something friends, obsessing over her body image, and finally using drugs that appeal to people more than half her age.
Cut it out Demi!!! So what! there are better ways of keeping the spring in your step than drugs. And if you are doing drugs with rumer Stop! Life is not a series of failures it is a series of successes! So what, keep it moving!! Don't do immature things. After 25 you need your heart for breathing. You would be surprised what's in front of you. I'm the coolest "Nanna" ever.
Very sad and pathetic
More and more she reminds me of how her Mother was, she better start acting her age.
Ultimately... life is a tragedy! You grow old and die.
Can Miley unhinge her jaw?
Doesn't she have any friends of her own? Friends around her own age she can social with instead of hanging out with her 22 year old daughter and her 22 year old (and younger) friends? Because that just makes her look friendless and sad.
no matter how much plastic surgery you have still not going to look 25 when your 50 just the way it is. You end up looking like a plastic freak and joke.
She is pathetic now--so sad. Desperate for youth, and it isn't coming back. I don't think you needed "people familiar with the situation" to connect the dots. She's pretty transparent. The irony is, men and women who embrace their age--any age--are way sexier and more attractive than someone who is desperate.
She probably longs for her Brat Pack years...probably watches all the old movies, The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, just to try to recapture that youth again. It is really sad. She is a BEAUTIFUL women. She needs to accept that we ALL get old and we can ALL look fantastic at any age. Eat Demi, put some meat on your bones, that alone would bring you some youth. Grow up Demi, you are NOT a teenager anymore and you haven't been for YEARS. Take some responsibility for how you live your life, how you raise your children and try to live life again. You look good babe, don't wreck that with drugs and alcohol.
I don't believe her problems have anything to do with her ageing. I think the real issues are drug abuse and anorexia. There's some serious mental issues here and I don't believe TMZ spin of "it's her trying to hold onto youth" bs.
Sucks to get old. Hope she finds some way to come to terms with the realities of aging and does so without further surgical intervention. She looks so severe and dried out now.
Dumi and the rest of the hollywadders are trash - plain and simple.
Demi Moore--sophisticated, grounded, all around great person--another Hollywood myth exploded. What a fraud. Wonder how many other "stars" fit this description and who are they?
Albert Einstein said something to the effect of "Insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Keep voting the way the media is telling you to - which btw, Clear Channel Media CORPORATION was purchased by Romney's Bain Corp. back in 2006 - do you REALLY THINK you're getting unbiased facts and that the election is not being rigged? Really?

And Newt is just as corrupt as he's always been: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/31/1060...392/-Gingrich-Campaign-Under-Investigation-In-Virginia-For-Election-Fraud?via=siderecent ... Virginia is his home state!
Go to Youtube and watch Ron Paul for yourself - the rest of planet is even supporting Ron Paul, but of course you wouldn't know about it from our mainstream media standards! (Now would we Mitten)
ooooh deMI! i can take the whip-its. i can take the ridiculous drunken dancing. i can take the red bull addiction...but, THIS?! please say it ain't so!!

GOP Preserves the Strict Ethics Rules for the 112th Congress
Statement of Craig Holman, Government Affairs Lobbyist, Public Citizen
Public Citizen heartily applauds incoming House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) for preserving all the strict congressional ethics rules approved under the previous Democratic-controlled Congress. These ethics rules include: The ban on gifts from lobbyists and lobbying organizations to members of Congress and their staff; the restrictions on privately-sponsored travel to no more than one-day trips (two days, if necessary), all of which have to be pre-approved by the ethics committee and the travel itineraries posted on the Internet, and, most important, keeping intact the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), an outside agency that monitors compliance to the ethics rules.
Earlier, we sent Boehner a letter expressing concern that the new Republican majority might attempt to weaken the ethics rules on Jan. 5. We have since learned that no such effort is in the making. In fact, the GOP package of proposed House rules released this morning add some very notable improvements in transparency and ethics, requiring that bills be publicly available on the Internet for 72 hours prior to a vote, calling for Web-casting of most committee proceedings and banning former members from lobbying their colleagues in the House gym.*
The new rules package marks a strong beginning for incoming Speaker Boehner and the 112th Congress. Public Citizen looks forward to working with the new Congress to bolster the ethical standards of Congress even further by strengthening ethics rules where needed and vesting OCE with the authority to mandate witnesses and the production of evidence in its investigations.
To read Public Citizen's original letter to incoming Speaker Boehner on strengthening the ethics rules, go to: http://www.citizen.org/Page.aspx?pid=2493.
To read the proposed new rules package for the 112th Congress, go to: http://www.citizen.org/documents/112-Hres5-CP20101223.pdf.
*Although Boehner presented the gym restriction as a new initiative, such a restriction was put in place in 2007 by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen's mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.

Writing apps for Firefox OS phones
Improving Life
If you run this game, your first complaint will pertain to the efficiency of the program. The program works well with small cultures, but it slows to a crawl as soon as the number of cells grows. I have likely overlooked ways of making GoL more efficient and the JavaScript more optimal. Feel free to give the code a bash by downloading it [11] and playing with it.
The second problem is usability. This app is screaming for a zoom function in edit mode. Even when the cells are 2x2 blocks on the canvas, they are tiny. No fat (or even thin) fingers will be able to place a cell accurately on the playing field without a stylus. Again, feel free to make your own changes and improvements.
Although the GoL app is far from perfect, it shows how easy it is create an app for the Firefox OS mobile platform and illustrates some of the ways you can implement the assets Mozilla makes available.
If you already develop web apps using HTML5, you're basically done. If not, HTML, CSS3, and jQuery are well-documented and relatively easy technologies to master, so you should be able to begin creating your apps in no time.

Ochocinco Finds Work
After being release by the New England Patriots, WR Chad Ochocinco worked out for Miami. The Dolphins signed Ochocinco soon after–to a one-year deal. With that said, let's think about how the signing will help the Jets this season.
Revenge on New England
After getting cut by the Patriots, Ochocinco obviously wants revenge on his former team. Think about it. He wants to show Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft that they made a mistake, by releasing him. Who wouldn't want a little revenge like this on someone they used to work for? I can say that I would.
Ochocinco is going to be ready for both games vs. NE. The veteran still has the potential to do some damage against an average (at best) Patriots secondary. Ranked nearly last in the NFL last year, New England may have trouble keeping him intact.
Ochocinco is far past his prime, but if he can help the Jets by scoring a Touchdown or two vs. the Pats—I'll take it. I'm sure every Jets fan can agree on that.

The Double Oak Way 1500 (aka fun in the off-season)
The Double Oak Way 1500ft climb (medium version)
Huge version (5.9MB)
3D map of the complete Double Oak Way 1500ft climb
The Double Oak Way climb has been a favorite of mine since I first rode it a couple years ago after somebody at Tuesday Worlds mentioned that they had rode their motorcycle up it the day before. The very next day, I went for a ride out to Mt Laurel and climbed it for the first time. I had scouted it out ahead of time using topocreator.com and knew that the road would take you up over 1400ft, which is very rare for the Birmingham area. The only other climb I am aware of that tops out at over 1400ft is the Pine Mountain climb north of Trussville.
So anyway, my first time up the Double Oak Way climb was the summer of 2008. Since then, I have climbed it probably 20 times over the course of a couple years. Well, as I was working on the topocreator.com website last night (yes, it is going to go into real beta testing soon!), I stumbled across a topocreator map of the climb and noticed for the FIRST time that there was a small thick contour line representing 1500ft not too far from where the road ends at the radio towers. The towers are at an elevation of just over 1450ft, but less than 3/4 of a mile away was the opportunity to ride up to 1500ft. I immediately scanned the map to find the lowest point in the area to see just how big a climb I could make it. And it turns out there is a spot in nearby Chelsea at 475ft meaning that the total vertical relief was just over 1000ft. Plus with a few downhills thrown in throughout the climb, there is over 1700ft of total elevation gain in the 10.3 mile climb.
Today, for the first time I did the complete 10.3 mile climb topping out at 1502 ft. Let me take you through the climb as I remember it. First, I didn't get started until later in the day, so I knew that the only way to make it all the way out to Chelsea and back before it got dark was to bee line a good portion of the route on 280. Once I made it to Chelsea, I promptly turned around and began the climb. You first go through the Chelsea Corners shopping center before crossing under a small railroad bridge where the road turns into onto Old Hwy 280, which follows a creek on a fairly gradual incline right between these towering cliffs on either side of the road and creek. At the top, I just missed the light to cross 280 so after a short wait, it was game on again to finish the climb. There are a couple of steep rollers as you head out on Co Rd 41 towards Mt Laurel. Then, once you make the right turn onto Double Oak way just on the outskirts of Mt Laurel, the real fun begins!
The climb hits you hard right at the beginning with a 0.6 mile stretch that climbs 389ft for an average gradient of 11.8%. There are a couple of short spots where the gradient approaches 25%! There is also a gate about 3/4 of the way up this part of the climb, where you have to dismount and literally climb through the middle of the gate between the thick bars to keep cars and motorcycles out. Remount just in time for the 20-25% "am I going to fall over" 1/10th of a mile stretch which I went up at 7.1mph (avg), 5.9mph (min), 9.2mph (max). The next part of the climb starts out with a short steep downhill followed by the start of the next section of the climb, which is a 1.75 mile stretch with an average gradient of only 2.75%. This is where the best views are, too, and it is so nice and peaceful to ride on a road without any cars at all! The only thing you have to worry a little bit about is deer. I startled three on the ride today narrowly missing one on the way back down!
The road kicks back up to 16% gradient as you make it to 1425ft at the top of this first crest. On the other side, is a super steep downhill (20%) that bottoms out before you immediately start climbing again at nearly a 20% gradient up to the radio towers. This is where I have turned around the past 20 times I have done this climb. But after seeing the topocreator map last night, I knew that I was going to do my best to make it to the 1500ft circle on the map! So I headed off-road onto what is probably a hunting trail (have to be careful about that, I tried to make a lot of non-deer sounding noises, i.e., whoops and hollers which was pretty easy since I was having just about as much fun as I have had all year on the bike!). I followed the trail which was mostly double track covered in leaves and even some grassy areas. I flew through this area which was fairly flat at 1450-1475ft before it dives down again to an intersection with what is probably a motorcycle dirt trail judging by the ruts and rocks. This was really hard to ride because the rocks were big and loose.
At the intersection with another trail, my memory was getting a bit hazy about where to find the final stretch back up to 1500ft, and I almost turned around thinking I had missed it when I looked up and saw another split in the trail heading up to the top. It was super steep, sandy in spots, rutted, and rocky in some spots so I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it up the 1/4 mile trail with max gradient of 18%. But as I got further and further and hadn't fallen off yet, I thought maybe I could make it to the top. Alas, I got stuck in a rut not 50m from the top and decided it would be faster just to run the rest of the way up. At the top, there was another path off the trail that led to some rocks where I got a few of the pictures below. I had made it to 1500ft. Total time for the climb – 10.3 miles in 41 minutes for an average speed just under 15mph!
It was beautiful, and the sun was getting ready to set so I couldn't enjoy it long. Took a few pictures and then booked it back through the trails, over Hugh Daniel, back across 280, and all the way home just after sunset. It was an amazing awesome ride. Check out the maps, pictures, and data below. Also, the bottom map shows the climb in relation to several of the other climbs and high points in the area. So who's going to go with me next time???

End of the year epic sassafras mountain ride
End of the year epic sassafras mountain ride (2D)
3D view of the major climbs on this year's ride
It has been an annual tradition for me for the past 15 years to end the season with a truly epic ride. During my college days, that would involve a 200+ mile ride in the mountains of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. In my older and busier days now, I have shortened the ride down to about 100 miles, but still with awesome climbing in my college playground of the NC/SC/GA tristate area. This year's ride included two major climbs — Whitewater Falls and Sassafras Mountain — with countless smaller hills in between adding up to over 11,000 feet of climbing. And at 108 miles, it was a few miles longer than the past few years as well.
Check out my power and heartrate stats below: I love that my highest heartrates are on the crazy awesome descents!!! Leading into the long descent from Sapphire down to Rosman, I saw a big truck coming up behind me on US64, so I hammered the last 200 meters or so to just stay ahead of it before the start. Then he didn't catch me until 15 miles later just before I turned onto US178 to head into Rosman! Plus for Sassafras Mountain, there is only one section where it is safe to really let it out, but that section happens to start with a 20% ramp before settling down to a nice 10-15% downhill gradient. I maxed out at 59.4mph staying above 50mph for almost 30 seconds! It definitely felt like the fastest I've ever been on a bike – especially since the road is rough. The bike feels like it is going to break up underneath you.

Greenville Fall Cycling Extravaganza Day 1
Quick update from Greenville, raced hard tonight, made it onto the podium in 3rd place. Small but tough field! Strong teams from Hincapie and Subaru (3 riders each), and then a lot of strong solo riders, too. I made it into a couple good breaks, but with the downhill backside of the course and lots of strong riders not wanting to see the race go up the road, it always came back together. With maybe a lap and a half to go two riders slipped off the front and got a few seconds on the field. With half a lap to go, I attacked and was closing when I clipped a pedal hard in the last corner and thought I was going down. I still had a pretty good gap, though, so I was able to hold onto third with only one rider passing me before the line. I believe it was Darius from Myogenesis who passed me just before the line, and congrats to the Hincapie rider (and the whole team) who won. Great race. I think it was Wilmar from Hincapie taking a well deserved win.

Why Ed Orgeron Is The Perfect Fit At USC
(Andrew McKagan | Neon Tommy)
Jack Del Rio. Jeff Fisher. Kevin Sumlin. Chris Petersen. Maybe even Jon Gruden. These are some sexy, fetishized names that have been associated with USC's head coaching search. And y'all are into that stuff hard-core, huh?
That's fine. Pat Haden should explore every option, leave no stone unturned.
But from what we've seen, who's to say Coach Ed Orgeron isn't as good, or even a better fit for USC than any of those guys?
USC's Ed Orgeron could add coach of the year to resume
(Gary Klein | Los Angeles Times)
Ed Orgeron is building a resume to convince USC Athletic Director Pat Haden that, once the season ends, he should drop the interim tag and make Orgeron the fulltime head coach.
Along with support from fans, players and influential alums, Orgeron also could offer something else to make his case: A coach-of-the-year award.
USC football coaching search takes life of its own post-Stanford upset
(Scott Wolf | Los Angeles Daily News)
"My job is to find the best coach of USC, not just for this year, for five, six or eight games or next year, but hopefully for five, 10 or 15 years," he said. "So we're going to go through this process we have and at the end of the day, I think we'll have a rational decision."
Is Talamaivao the 1st Domino to Fall in Stretch Run?
(Rick McMahan | Bleacher Report)
In Talamaivao, the Trojans get a dominant 6'3″, 325-pound beast who can pretty much do it all in the trenches.
And while that is enough in and of itself, the verbal from big Talamaivao may only be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to recruiting for the Cardinal and Gold.

Using "unlocked" Access Points may be a Felony | 19 comments | Create New Account
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
Using "unlocked" Access Points may be a Felony
Under some states I believe using an open access point without permissions could be a felony and land you in prision. I wouldn't advise people to do it.
Slightly alarmist reaction, given the hint?
I believe your comment is slightly off topic. If "wifi" comes up in a search on Google maps, and they have an open wifi network to connect to, then you're not accessing someone else's network without permission. On the searches I've done, it's almost always a coffee shop trying to get people to come in and stay for a while. Of course, people should use common sense when connecting to networks they don't own, but in general I think your point, while valid, is a little alarmist and knee-jerk.
Using "unlocked" Access Points may be a Felony
Using the internet to find news articles will most always allow us to find somewhere that something is supposedly illegal. With this out of control policeman looking for something to do, perhaps he found someone that he could cause trouble for. But before the foil hats get all worked up, just ask your local policeman if he thinks it is illegal. He probably doesn't think so because it is probably not. Use common sense and we'll all be ok. Let's not get all paranoid over this stuff.
Not so alarmist, but prison unlikely
In the UK a man was fined for repeatedly hijacking other people's wireless networks.
Still think it's alarmist (given context of hint)
But the hint implies that you're using a businesses public wifi network the way it's supposed to be used. So, by commenting that it may be a felony, I could see scaring people off from a legitimate use of a business' wifi network.
Using "unlocked" Access Points may be a Felony
Some people seem to have misunderstood. Of course it is all right to use a free, public wifi. However, the additional hint that if you can't find one, you can probably park near a large condo and find several PRIVATE wifi ports that are not locked down does raise questions. Using one of them raises both ethical and legal questions. It is unethical because it represents the use of someone else's bandwidth without permission (and possibly at some cost to them, depending on their ISP contract). Although the risk of being charged is slim, in many jurisdictions trespassing on someone elses wifi is a telecommunications crime.
Using "unlocked" Access Points may be a Felony
Seems to me that using open wifi access can't really be a crime. One doesn't steal the IP address. Your iPhone requests an IP address and the open system gives one away. You asked first.
Using "unlocked" Access Points may be a Felony
Perhaps it shouldn't be a crime, but it is, at least in some countries. As long as that information is made clear, then everyone can make his own choice, as usual.

Patriots lose safety Jarrad Page in free agency
|08.02.11 at 9:18 pm ET
Safety Jarrad Page, who spent last season with the Patriots, has signed a free agent deal with Philadelphia. Page, 26, was acquired by New England prior to the start of the 2010 season and played in 10 games for the Patriots, starting one. He was slowed for much of the season because of a calf injury.
Page tweeted the following message Tuesday night after the news was first broken by Jay Glazer of Fox Sports and the NFL Network:
Wanna say THANK U so much to the fans of New England for taking me in and getting behind me last year. Great fans and great organization. Can't wait to get to Philly and get back to football. I can feel the love from the fans already. Can't wait to make em proud!!

Meal TypeTart
Rather than simply reheating leftovers, I love to make a whole new meal that's different to the original dish.
This tasty tart, with filo pastry as a base, is a great way to use up the roast meat (chicken, turkey or ham) that was left from Christmas Day.
- 6 sheets filo pastry
- 40g butter, melted
- 1½ cup ham off the bone, diced
- ½ wheel of brie, diced
- 1 bunch asparagus spears, halved and blanched
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup cream
- Sea salt and cracked pepper
- Radishes and summer greens, to serve
- Drizzle of flavoured oil
1 Preheat oven to 170oC. Brush one sheet of filo with butter and lay another on top so you have a double sheet. Repeat this with the remaining layers. Lay the double sheets inside a 24cm loose-base tart tin, overlapping them and folding the excess over the sides so the tin is evenly covered.
2 Arrange the diced ham over the base, then dot with brie and decorate the top with the asparagus spears. Whisk the eggs, cream and seasoning together and slowly pour it over of tart ingredients.
3 Place the tart on a heavy baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 15 minutes.
4 Serve with sliced radishes and greens. Drizzle the tart and salad with flavoured oil.

The Chinese probably eat the world's greatest diversity of wild beasts. As their national appetite grows, American biologists are wondering, where have all the turtles gone?
Turtles may have been a victim of dynamite used to fish illegally.
At least 70 dead turtles were spotted on beaches and in shallow waters in northern Guanacaste on Tuesday, but reports from fishermen indicate that the death toll may be much higher.
"We have reports from fishermen whose boats are surrounded by hundreds of dead turtles," Roger Blanco, the lead investigator for the Guanacaste Conservation Area with SINAC, told The Tico Times. "They say they are headed for shore."
With its black shell and dark body, the rare Eastern Pacific green sea turtle sub-population is considered a separate species from the green sea turtle by some scientists. The sub-population is critically endangered both in Costa Rica and worldwide.

Rare North American Desert Tortoise to be euthanized. Land owners once paid a fee that went to Desert Tortoise conservation. But the real estate market tanked, drying up the funding source. The lesson learned - with respect to species conservation - is beware of "win-win" agreements between the feds and free market players. A species will out last any economic trend, the free market (bless its little heart) does not live by that same rule.
Federal funds are running out at the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center and officials plan to close the site and euthanize hundreds of the tortoises they've been caring for since the animals were added to the endangered species list in 1990.
Via NPR.
Good news from Turtle Survival Alliance.
The TSA is thrilled to announce that a verdict has been reached in a tortoise smuggling case in Madagascar from July 2011 (click herefor the story). One of the smugglers arrested, along with three accomplices, were sentenced this week to two years in prison and a fine equivalent to $574,000 USD.
This is the highest fine ever levied for tortoise smuggling in Madagascar and gives us hope that the tide is turning!
Males don't stand a chance in a warmer world, if they happen to be painted turtles. A temperature rise of around 1 °C is all it would take for the species to become 100 per cent female and earmarked for extinction.
Painted turtles (Chrysemys picta), found in lakes and streams across North America, are one of many reptile species whose sex is determined by temperature. Eggs in warm nests are likely to hatch as females, while males hatch in cooler nests, although no one is sure why.
In recent years, many researchers have raised concerns that global warming could skew the sex ratios of these reptiles. Rory Telemeco and his colleagues at Iowa State University developed a mathematical model to predict whether the painted turtles might be affected.
For over 25 years, Telemeco's colleague, Fredric Janzen, documented the nesting times and sex ratio of painted turtle hatchlings on a small island in the Mississippi river in Carroll County, Illinois. He found that females can shift their nesting dates by about 10 days to ensure their eggs develop at temperatures that produce an even mix of males and females.
The team used this finding, along with historical records of soil and air temperatures, to create a mathematical model that predicts the sex ratio of eggs laid at different temperatures. In a preliminary test of the model, the group correctly predicted the sexes of 40 out of 46 hatchlings born in the wild.
Sex ratio
Telemeco's team then used the same model to predict what might happen to the sex ratio of future hatchlings. Conservative climate models predict that average temperatures in the US Midwest will rise by 4 °C over the next century. The group's model suggests that this temperature hike would result in nests of all-female hatchlings, even if the turtles nest earlier, when temperatures are cooler. In fact, average temperatures only need to rise by 1.1 °C to have this effect, the team found. "It's ultimately extinction," says Telemeco.
Richard Shine, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Sydney in Australia, who was not involved in the study, says the findings are likely to apply to many species where sex is dependent on temperature. "All crocodilians, a smattering of turtles and lizards, plus some fishes", will be affected, he says. "Just laying your eggs a few weeks earlier won't be enough to cancel the effects of warming," he says.
Biologists take note.
Hi portugalstew!
You're referring to this post on driving over turtles, one of my favorite animals. And one of my favorite conservation charities is the Turtle Survival Alliance (they have a great 2013 calender in their shop!).
I feel you! Sadly it happens up here, too. Every once in a while, some kids are caught blowing up snapping turtles with fire crackers.
Actually, there are simple and cheap ways you can help turtles cross: just ask your mayor or town council to make a turtle crossing. Send a passionate email or write a letter (just friggin do it). Probably takes less time to do than read this tumblr post!
There are two basic designs - a sign (this one is in Maine), which is cheap and doesn't piss off tax payers. Or a tunnel under a road, which is expensive and really, really pisses off tax payers (it's turtles vs new teachers/police/road repairs! Aah!).
I suggest adding a fine for any driver caught intentionally swerving to kill an animal. Hard to enforce and catch people, so a very high fine could act as a deterrent rather than a revenue generator for the municipality.
Here's an example of an "EcoPassage" in Florida designed for turtle and critters to pass without getting crushed. Warning, there are some gnarly pictures…
And Here's a study on a turtle tunnel project in Toronto, Canada.
Thanks for the note!
