.- In a decision that could increase tensions with the Vatican, Paraguay's president-elect, former bishop Fernando Lugo, has named ex-priest Pablino Caceres as Secretary of the Ministry of Social Affairs, whose mission is to fight poverty in the country.
Caceres confirmed his appointment during a press conference. "President Lugo has entrusted to me the task of combating poverty from the office of Social Action," he said. Caceres, 55, is a former Redemptorist priest and was director of Social Ministry for the province of Concepcion in northern Paraguay. In 2001 he requested to be released from the clerical state.
Caceres said in his new post he would be dedicated to "attacking poverty on many fronts, both in urban and in rural areas, without forgetting our indigenous brothers and sisters."
One of the concerns of the bishops of Paraguay is that the Lugo administration will lead to a new wave of political involvement by priests and religious, whose numbers have been dwindling as pastoral needs increase.

We cannot choose between the environment and the economy. We need both. And this is our challenge: to create the conditions so that both can thrive. This realization is at the heart of an emerging school of environmentalism often encapsulated by the term, "green economy."

A citizens action group wants to legalise assisted suicide for all people over 70.
By Folkert Jensma for NRC International.
All Dutch people over 70 who feel tired of life should have the right to professional help in ending it, demands a citizens' initiative in the Netherlands called Out of Free Will. It will start collecting signatures on Tuesday in support of this proposed change in Dutch legislation, hoping to place the matter firmly on the parliamentarian agenda. A number of prominent Dutch citizens have come out in support of the initiative, including former ministers and artists, legal scholars and physicians.
More from NRC International
Under current Dutch law, euthanasia is only legal in cases of "hopeless and unbearable" suffering, which in practice means it is limited to those suffering from serious medical conditions and in considerable pain. Only doctors are allowed to assist in euthanasia. Helping somebody commit suicide who does not meet the qualifications stipulated in the current euthanasia law is illegal. The Netherlands legalised euthanasia in 2001 and is one of the few countries in the world to have done so.
Listen to a Newsline interview with Marie-Jose Grotenhuis from Out of Free Will:
A new medical trade
Out of Free Will does not only want to decriminalise these acts, it wants to found a new profession to assist those weary of life in ending it. The group has suggested this task be carried out by specially trained and certified nurses, psychologists or spiritual professionals who could verify the request for assisted suicide in a series of conversations with the patient. Only after a second healthcare professional has confirmed the patient's death wish, would they be provided with lethal drugs. The same caretaker would finally supervise the patient as he takes them.
The group paints the following scenario: the specialists should ensure that the patient is of sound mind and that their request is explicit, logical and consistent. The assistants must make sure the death wish is more than a rash impulse, the product of depression or the symptom of another illness, and that the patient has considered the consequences of his actions for those who will survive him. Once the patient has taken his own life, the suicide assistant writes a report that can be reviewed by the municipal coroner. The case is then assessed by the regional euthanasia approval commission, which has already been instituted to oversee the application of the current Dutch euthanasia law.
Out of Free Will proposes that healthcare professionals looking to assist in suicides will need to complete a special "Completed Life" training programme and join a professional association responsible for maintaining standards of professional, transparent and safe conduct. The group argues suicide assistance should only be provided to Dutch citizens. Currently, an estimated 400 elderly people take their own lives every year, sometimes by violent means.
Enjoy old life – up to a point
In an interview in the office of Dick Swaab (65), a leading member of the group and the managing director of the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience in Amsterdam, three of the initiative's prominent supporters explained why they felt suicide assistance should be made legal. Former minister and self-described feminist Hédy d'Ancona (72) said arguing for the right to choose one's time of death was a natural extension of her lifelong battle for emancipation.
Legal scholar Eugène Sutorius (63) said he considered the right a cultural matter, and that he was looking for freedom to face death "in a stoic manner", without fear of a legal system that branded assisted suicide as criminal.
For neurologist Swaab, death is straightforward. "Throughout the animal kingdom, individuals are simply replaced, rather than patched up endlessly," he explained. Aging constitutes nothing more than "cells wearing through use," Swaab said. His argument: when you feel you have no more life left in you, you should be able to say so, and act on it.
All three expressed enthusiasm about ageing. Everything becomes easier to put into perspective as time passes, they said. Sutorius called it an "immense pleasure". D'Ancona referred to it as "a great phase of life." But they also expressed fear of what is still to come. D'Ancona said the knowledge she would be unable to end her life when she wanted to left her with a "nagging feeling". She said it took some of the enjoyment out of what was otherwise a pleasurable phase of her life. Sutorius too feared a moment would soon come when he would come to experience the drawbacks of ageing. "I do not want to outlive myself," he said.
Completed life – time to end it?
The citizens action group refers to that moment as the time "life is completed". The lack of purpose that befalls elderly people when their family, friends and acquaintances have all passed away. When they feel left behind, unable to escape an empty existence. Dutch Legal scholar Huib Drion proposed providing the old with an "acceptable means to end their lives at a moment they see fit" as early as 1991. Based on opinion polls, Out of Free Will believes broad popular support exists to pass this option into law. The issues that would arise from such a move are surmountable, the group feels.
The risk of abuse, for instance. The elderly may find themselves being pushed into taking their own lives by an unsupportive social circle. Wouldn't legalising suicide assistance be taking things a step too far? Sutorius denied this, calling the group's proposal "a step in the right direction". Taking the responsibilty of assisting suicides away from doctors would help these keepers of life steer clear of situations where they would be required to take it.
According to Sutorius, criminal law has little bearing on assisted suicide for people over 70. Responsible, transparent, assisted suicide, carried out in a proper manner, is far removed from the capital offences listed in the criminal code, he said. "No one stands to win or gain personally from it, and there is no disproportional violence harming other peoples' interests involved."
Still, criminal law knows a plethora of cases involving so-called "angels of death": nurses or doctors who carried out mercy killings. According to Sutorius, "illegitimate coercion" can never be ruled out completely. The law can only do its best to fight it. Sutorius recalled that the introduction of legal euthanasia in the Netherlands was once seen as a corruption of medicine too. "It was thought to be the first step onto a slippery slope that would lead the medical profession to lose its integrity. But I have seen nothing of the kind happen."
Only for 70 and over
The group wants to draw a line at age 70. Helping young people commit suicide "cannot be justified," Sutorius said. When a younger person kills himself, it is always "a disaster", he claimed. "An older person can understand more, has more perspective."
The group admits the age of 70 was a somewhat arbitrary cut-off point. "Whether it should be 65 or 90 is a good question. We think that once someone has reached old age, he has proved his ability to live. He can then chose to leave this life in a procedural, medically-supervised manner," Sutorius said.
The three think the proposed role of a suicide assistant would be akin to "taking a walk with death". A job advertisement would read something like this: "Wanted: nurse or spiritual caretaker in possession of a Completed Life Certificate." Who would respond to such an ad? "I would not hesitate to do so myself," Sutorius said. "You would be guiding someone to death at his express request, in the most humane way possible," D'Ancona added.
Still, since suicide itself is not illegal under current law, why would anyone want to burden someone else with the taking of his own life? Because, Swaab explained, "you need to know how much of what you need take". Usually, the required drugs are not hard to come by and under current law, relatives are usually the ones procuring the lethal drugs, sometimes with help from a physician who has been tricked into providing them under false pretences.
Also, a do-it-yourself suicide leaves ample room for error. "Current practice is in no-one's interest," Sutorius said. "Also, people might act on a whim. Or because they are depressed or otherwise ill and unable to oversee their own situation." Suicide assistance might therefore also help to prevent people from taking their own life, Swaab added.

No one took Sean's picture on the front row of Narciso Rodriguez, but plenty of ladies kissed his cheek.
The docudrama will include private video confessionals by interns.
Also, Via Spiga collaborates with Vena Cava, Louis Vuitton's new windows attract police, and Cape Town Fashion Week starts.
Had a bad intern this summer or in seasons past? Tell us about it! (No, not, like, 'tell us about it' — our own interns are great. We mean actually describe him or her to us in the comments section!)
Avery was spotted schmoozing with editors and making them try on clothes in the 'Marie Claire' offices.
Anna's speaking to her interns this morning, but if they arrive late they can't enter the auditorium because they'd have to walk in front of her. Gasp!
He even spent three days packing!
We called up some real ex-'Vogue' interns to find out how their experience at the magazine compared to Sean Avery's. Turns out, they don't compare!
It's superstar intern Sean Avery's second day guest-editing MensVogue.com and he's trying his hand at blogging!
He says he's going to all the shows and is most looking forward to Chanel because he hears it's the most "ridiculous."
As part of his internship, Avery is guest-editing Mensvogue.com this week, and he's kicking things off with a diary about what his experience has been like.
We caught him in a Dries Van Noten blazer and Yves Saint Laurent tie, but Rogelio Burgos says he only dresses up on weekdays.
The hockey player and 'Vogue' intern is rumored to be starting a celebrity styling company with Lauryn Flynn, who just left Calvin Klein.

Section 401
Findings and Purposes
More Information
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
(1) the presence of acidic compounds and their precursors in the atmosphere and in deposition from the atmosphere represents a threat to natural resources, ecosystems, materials, visibility, and public health;
(2) the principal sources of the acidic compounds and their precursors in the atmosphere are emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides from the combustion of fossil fuels;
(3) the problem of acid deposition is of national and international significance;
(4) strategies and technologies for the control of precursors to acid deposition exist now that are economically feasible, and improved methods are expected to become increasingly available over the next decade;
(5) current and future generations of Americans will be adversely affected by delaying measures to remedy the problem;
(6) reduction of total atmospheric loading of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides will enhance protection of the public health and welfare and the environment; and
(7) control measures to reduce precursor emissions from steam-electric generating units should be initiated without delay.
(b) Purposes.--The purpose of this title is to reduce the adverse effects of acid deposition through reductions in annual emissions of sulfur dioxide of ten million tons from 1980 emission levels, and, in combination with other provisions of this Act, of nitrogen oxides emissions of approximately two million tons from 1980 emission levels, in the forty-eight contiguous States and the District of Columbia. It is the intent of this title to effectuate such reductions by requiring compliance by affected sources with prescribed emission limitations by specified deadlines, which limitations may be met through alternative methods of compliance provided by an emission allocation and transfer system. It is also the purpose of this title to encourage energy conservation, use of renewable and clean alternative technologies, and pollution prevention as a long-range strategy, consistent with the provisions of this title, for reducing air pollution and other adverse imjpacts of energy production and use.

There's a lot of us who have a lot to lose and it is very hard to look at the whole amount we need to lose and see the end of the journey. I know I have at least 9 stones still to go and I have already lost 21 lb.
I thought it was worth starting this thread so we can all support each other and achieve our mini targets.
My next mini target is 7 lb and my next weigh in is tomorrow.
it doesn't matter which diet we are on - it is to support each other while tackling each mini target.

Issue with wrapped Figure
I'm trying to use this macro for wrapping text around a figure.
Instead of wrapping the figure it prints "l0.5" left of the figure in the PDF and not the caption (see attachment). What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Orlando is the number one tourist destination in the world today with current figures estimating that over 45 million tourists visit every year.
There are hundreds of attractions and places of interest to visit ranging from the high-octane rides found at the theme parks to the peace and tranquility of an afternoon on the beach, it can all be found in or around the Orlando area.
Many of the better-known attractions and theme parks are located to the south of Orlando. They include Universal Studios, Sea World, Island of Adventure, Discovery Cove, Wet N Wild and of course the Walt Disney World Complex with its four parks (the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM), three water parks (Blizzard beach, Typhoon lagoon and River country) and Downtown Disney. Also in the area is International drive, which is home to over 150 restaurants and an abundance of attractions including Wonderworks, Ripley's believe it or not and Dolly Partons Dixie Stampede.
A little further a field to the North East on the Atlantic coast you'll find miles of glorious golden beaches at Daytona and Cocoa, as well as the Daytona International speedway where many of high profile races are held including NASCAR, and you may even be lucky enough to experience a shuttle taking off from the Kennedy Space Centre.
An hours drive to the west of Orlando will bring you to the Gulf coast and the fantastic Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa. If you continue further down the Gulf coast you will pass through a number of picturesque towns such as Clearwater, St Petersburg, Fort Myers, Naples and Marco Island, all of which have beautiful beaches and are well worth a visit. Special mention must go to the white sand beaches at St Petersburg and Clearwater that were ranked number one and four respectively in a recent national survey.
A lot of tourists come to Orlando to experience the theme parks and sit around the pool, but there is so much more on offer. You can take a helicopter or balloon ride, ride an airboat through the swamps, have a picnic or try out some water sports in one of the many state parks, go horse riding, visit the museums, catch a game at one of the many pro sports teams in the area, or even go swimming with the dolphins at the excellent Discovery Cove. No matter how many times you visit or how long you stay there is always something new and exciting to experience.

BOSTON – Vinny Del Negro joked Sunday that something in the Canadian air caused his Clippers to play their worst game of the season in Friday's blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Whatever it was, the Clippers evidently brought it with them back to their home country – at least for the first half of their Sunday matinee with the Boston Celtics – before finally expelling it late in their tight loss at TD Garden.
The Clippers were outscored by 19 in Sunday's first half before making a strong run to close the game. However, Paul Pierce's 3-pointer with two seconds left gave the Celtics the 106-104 victory.
"If we would've came in with the same effort and energy we had in the second half, I think it would have been a different outcome," said Clippers guard Jamal Crawford, who tied for a game-high with 23 points off the bench.
The Clippers went on a 21-8 run in the fourth quarter and got to within 103-101 before Pierce's 3-pointer.
Crawford noted that the Celtics' aggression mirrored what the Clippers look like on their best days. Boston set Sunday's tempo and forced L.A. to play uncomfortably early.
"That's what we do to teams when we're successful," he said.
Eric Bledsoe, starting for an injured Chris Paul, also had a career-high-tying 23 points for the Clippers – and 10 assists. Blake Griffin added a 20-point, 11-rebound double-double.
The Clippers blamed their collective defense for the loss, with reserve forward Matt Barnes pinpointing it directly on a lack of effort.
"We just haven't played well defensively, and I think that's the key to our success," Griffin said. "We have to be on our rotations defensively and really bring the energy to withstand poor shooting."
Griffin and the Clippers actually shot quite well for most of Sunday's game – 59 percent excluding the fateful second quarter, in which they were outscored 26-10 for their worst scoring period of the season.
"The second quarter was the difference in the game tonight," Del Negro said.
Crawford's strong play came despite a broken nose, which he played through without protection for most of his 32 minutes Sunday.
Upon entering the game, Crawford sported a homemade mask from team trainer Jasen Powell to protect the fracture. But, finding it uncomfortable, he stripped it off before the second quarter. Crawford said he expects to play sans mask Monday night against Washington.
The injury originally occurred Friday, when the Clippers' sixth man attempted to rebound his own missed free throw and caught an errant elbow from the Raptors' Kyle Lowry.
"He got me pretty good," Crawford said. "I thought it was bleeding."
Crawford had an MRI that night and then a CT scan on Saturday, which confirmed the break.

A Child Bride's Tale (POEM)
A Child Bride's Tale
Airyn R. Lentija
Only a stationary pain resides in her heart,
Like a tainted lake it never flows;
And though her all was torn apart --
His badness grows.
She wept under the bosom of darkness,
Built strong fences around her fears;
Her burning insanity stirred her weakness --
To save his ears.
Her tiny mind screened in malnutrition,
As it considered to need less food than his;
Of what she prepared she took less--
The devil's bliss.
Because her youth fled that day, at
Noon he pulled down her pants and wandered;
She begged the breeze to hear her plea, but --
He raped her.
She was fifteen and had a wedding ring,
Locked and frozen without mirth;
An infinity symbol of child trafficking --
A hell on earth.
He had owned her for few rupees,
And sold her organs to brokers;
Who bought her from her family--
The exploiters.
A Child Bride's Tale—© Airyn R. Lentija 2010
(This poem were published by the Asian Human Rights Comission(Human Rights and culture) and WUNRN)
A heart breaking poem but
A heart breaking poem but beautifully written. I love how you illustrate that when a girl marries against her will her husband takes her life away. Her self esteem, youth, strength, courage, and dignity unable to shape her own fate. Her life is now painted with dependence, burden, and neglect. Does the South Pacific have many issues with children brides?
Airyn, Beautifully
Beautifully written.

If Northwestern had to name an offensive MVP for its spring camp, which ended with the Wildcats' spring game Saturday at Ryan Field, coach Pat Fitzgerald's vote would go to wide receiver Charles Brown.
"It makes me feel good to notice that the hard work is finally paying off," said Brown, a 5-11, 180-pound senior. "But I really try not to read into what coaches say or the hype, and I focus on getting better. I try to keep my eyes on a straight path and go from there."
The Robeson High School product caught two passes for 20 yards Saturday, logging significant time with Rashad Lawrence (three catches for 23 yards and a touchdown), Brendan Barber (two for 27 and a touchdown) and Demetrius Fields (two for 24).
Last season, Brown played in 12 games and had 16 catches for 198 yards, splitting reps with Northwestern's leading receiver, Jeremy Ebert.
"I came in freshman year as a quiet kid, and as the years went on I learned to grow into myself and be more vocal," Brown said. "I stepped up as being a leader and being the oldest guy in the room and leading the younger receivers and letting them know what it takes to play at wide receiver.
''I think I made the biggest improvement [this spring] in that area, being more vocal."
There were 17 players who didn't participate in the spring game because of injuries, and seven who didn't play because of coaches' decisions.
Quarterbacks Evan Watkins, Kain Colter and Trevor Siemian all played. Watkins went 7-for-11 for 70 yards and a touchdown, Siemian 5-for-14 for 46 yards and two touchdowns and Colter 5-for-10 for 35 yards. Colter also scored on a 27-yard run.
"I was trying to work on raising my completion percentage and making my reads," Watkins said. "I started off spring a little slow and was a little too tense, and I was thinking a little too much. But as the spring went on, I was able to cut it loose and just play."
With Dan Persa hoping to be cleared to practice by June and start in the season opener Sept. 3 at Boston College, Fitzgerald and offensive coordinator Mick McCall wouldn't say which of the three quarterbacks would be Persa's top backup.
"We still have a long, long time," McCall said of putting together a depth chart. "They have worked so hard, and all three have improved. A couple of them did some good things, and then you're going, 'Oh, what are you looking at?' I couldn't tell you that one did any better than the other one."

ADA passes out at Pal's Lounge murder trial, sources say
A brief delay occurred Thursday morning in the murder trial of Nia Robertson at Orleans Parish Criminal Court.
Sources told the WDSU I-Team that an assistant district attorney may have fainted or suffered some type of mild medical ailment as opening arguments started in the trial.
Judge Karen Herman briefly delayed the trial.
Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro is handling the case and gave the opening arguments.
The trial has since resumed and is expected to last three to five days.
Robertson was killed in 2007. Her throat was slashed as she sat at the bar at Pal's Lounge.
Erik Tracyk, 41, was arrested at the scene. Detectives said he was holding a bloody knife in his hand.
Tracyk pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

If you read many Sydney food blogs then you've probably noticed a flurry of reviews of Moo Gourmet Burgers, reporting the great afternoon a few (well, 19) of us bloggers spent in Moo Newtown's courtyard. We all put faces to names, and talked blog platforms, photography, recipes and how to get over the embarrassment of taking out your camera in a restaurant.
What with so many glowing reviews already posted, it seems there's little left for me to say: I could tell you about the friendly welcome from the Moo team, and them spoiling us with goody bags. I could also tell you about the free range eggs and ethically sourced meat that go into all of Moo's food, leaving a visit light on the conscience as far as animal welfare is concerned. Not mentioning the milkshakes (including the special creme egg milkshake) would certainly be remiss, and it's also worth thanking VegeTARAian and Miss Piggy for the inspiration, and Detective Chow for the the extreme organisational skills.
I entered into the #burgerparty spirit and opted for a Coke Spider ($5) to go with my Greek Lamb Burger ($15.50) and a huge serving of Cheesy Bacon Chips ($8.95). Complete with tzatziki and baby spinach, the Saltbush lamb burger was juicy and had sufficient structure for easy eating, and the addition of bacon and gooey cheese to hot chips was never going to be a bad option — especially with so many hungry people around.
Then with photos taken, sugar rushes starting to fade, and a comprehensive review of the menu completed, it was time to grab our party bags and head home.

Even men with high blood pressure apparently benefit from a few drinks now and then.
Until now, doctors advised them against drinking because alcohol increases blood pressure, but researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Boston have found that moderate amounts of alcohol increase "good cholesterol" and reduce heart attack risk even for men with hypertension.
It's the first study to expand on what earlier studies found in the general population. Lead researcher Dr. Michael Gaziano says the benefits are seen with a half-glass to one or two glasses of an alcoholic beverage per day.
More than that, he says, brings blood pressure and cancer risks that "offset the good things the alcohol is doing," and begins "to wash away the benefits."

Watermelon Realism
Response: No, Greens must not cosy up to capitalism. They must resist it | Comment is free | The Guardian
"Is the green movement a leftwing, anti-capitalist movement?" your article asks. "Mark Lynas believes it is, and that those who style themselves as greens should be marginalised and allowed to die off so that they can be replaced by a new breed of market-friendly environmentalists like him." Is this really the future of the green movement? If so, it's one of defeat.
Along with human overpopulation, the principal driver of the accelerating eco-crisis – anthropogenic climate change, biodiversity crash, destruction and degradation of wild habitat, and a virtual holocaust of animal species – is precisely capitalism. Far from being realistic, to propose as a solution more of what is causing the problem is nothing less than delusional. Any green movement worth its name must therefore resist industrial capitalism....
Greens urgently need to engage with people's ecological intuitions, impulses and aspirations. Only that deserves to be called realism.
That is a definition of realism I haven't come across before, distinctly Dagenham.

FORM on Design: Airstreams for the 21st Century
In the 1920s, Santa Barbara gained fame as a fashionable destination for campers. One spot in particular, a Sycamore grove beside Mission Creek, offered a picturesque spot for travelers to enjoy the California coast. Today, the Santa Barbara Auto Camp upholds this area's camping tradition by hosting a collection of restored midcentury Airstream trailers, each uniquely designed and available for rent.

May 16, 2013 -
Today the House of Representatives passed H.R. 45, to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Congressman Miller issued this statement following today's vote:
"Skyrocketing costs have put quality health coverage out of reach for millions of hard-working American families and small businesses for far too long," said Congressman Miller. "Lack of access to affordable, quality health care options leaves families on the hook for massive medical bills, burdens hospitals with higher uncompensated care costs, and puts small businesses at a recruitment disadvantage with larger employers who are able to provide health benefits."
The vote comes after a May report from the Congressional Budget Office estimating that the PPACA will still leave 30 million Americans without health insurance after it is fully implemented.
"The President's health care law includes a number of positive reforms that have bipartisan support," continued Congressman Miller in his response to today's vote. "However, as we approach the start date for some of the law's most complex elements, I have continued to hear from many of my constituents as well as employers in the 31st District who are deeply concerned about the impact the law's mandates, regulations, and taxes will have on future health care costs for working families, our economic recovery, and job growth in the Inland Empire. In recent days, we have heard these concerns echoed by members from both sides of the aisle, including Democrat Senator Max Baucus of Montana – a key author of the law - who has said that implementation of the law could be a 'train wreck.'"
Small businesses – the driving force of job creation in the United States- have begun reducing work hours for employees and putting off plans to expand and hire new workers in anticipation of new costs and regulatory burdens under the PPACA. In an April 2013 Gallup survey of small business owners, 41% said they have held off on plans to hire new workers, while one-in-five have cut employee hours to part-time status. Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the labor force will be reduced by 800,000 in 2021 as a result of the PPACA. In San Bernardino County, of which Congressman Miller's district resides, the unemployment rate is still above 10%, three percent higher than the national average.
Congressman Miller made clear that a repeal of the law would be just the beginning of the effort to fix the nation's health care system, saying, "The ultimate goal of repealing the 2010 health law isn't to return to the old, broken system. It is, however, the first step to enacting real reforms that will bring down costs to patients, expand access to affordable coverage, and protect our nation's seniors without adding to our nation's fiscal woes or making it more difficult for small businesses in the Inland Empire to grow and hire more workers. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the months to come to formulate bipartisan, common sense alternatives that will lead to lower costs, better quality, and more options to meet the health needs of consumers and their families."

I keep forgetting about this
Somebody hit me
Somebody hit me
Sand Veil and Snow Cloak are now banned under Evasion Clause.
(I can stop using bs Terrakion now!)
Notes: 1) This is supposed to be a Pokemon blog as well as a music blog, so here: play.pokemonshowdown.com <– This is an online Pokemon simulator that's… pretty awesome. For those of you who didn't know about it before. 2) I'll try to update this more often.
News: I'm kind of broke right now, so I won't be able to get the new Pokemon games OR see Converge and Kvelertak next Sunday… I should probably get a job.
On Pokemon Showdown, there's this tier I've been playing called Balanced Hackmons. For those of you who don't know (again), it lets you put any move and any ability on any Pokemon with very few bans (Wonder Guard, OHKO moves, Pure Power, Huge Power, Arena Trap, Shadow Tag). Perhaps the best way to learn more about it is to go here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3463764 So I've been running this crazy set recently:
Deoxys-Speed @ Lum Berry
Trait: No Guard
Timid Nature
- Magic Coat
- Skill Swap
- Taunt
- Magma Storm
The idea is to "borrow" the opponent's ability. When the opponent is another Deoxys-S (It IS the lead metagame), Magic Coat is often my first move to scout what the opponent does. If it isn't Magic Coat, I can move from there (1st-turn Spore or Spikes often means that they don't have Taunt) and "borrow" their ability while still getting the benefits of my own. If they don't switch out afterwards, I can trap them with Magma Storm and get my Magic Bounce Pokemon in safely to set up. This is also a deterrent to Flash Fire Escavalier, who my team otherwise has little chance against. It's so fun!
I'm going to try to be a bit more active on this. …not like anybody cares, but it makes me feel better inside, and that's what matters, isn't it?
Okay, whatever.
I'm going to a friend's house for a concert on Saturday night. It's going to be cold and rainy. I don't care.
There will be three bands playing. The first band is Liotta, a pop punk band from somewhere relatively close but really far away from me. They put on a sick live show, and you can find a music video of theirs here. Band #2 is Hometown Advantage. The one time I could have seen them, we got stuck in traffic. Shit sucked. Anyway, I don't really know what they sound like. Band #3 is The Young Giants, an indie punk band. My friend plays the drums in this band. I will never stop enjoying them unless they pull a Green Day or something. Their demo can be downloaded from their FB page.
Yeah, this is going to be sick.
This will me my blogish thing where I post stuff about music and Pokemon. Don't judge me.

TOWSON, Md. - If Sharon Love has her way, her late daughter, Yeardley, will be remembered nationwide every May 3.
But she'll need Congress to go along.
"May 3rd was the worst day of our lives, for both Lexie and me. I lost my precious daughter, Yeardley, and Lexie lost her sister and best friend to relationship violence," says Sharon Love of Baltimore, Md.
Yeardley, a champion high school and University of Virginia lacrosse player was murdered at the age of 22 by her ex-boyfriend George Huguely.
A bill was introduced in Congress to make each May 3 National One Love Day.
"If May 3rd is memorialized it will help to spare other families and friends of this devastating loss that we have had to endure," says Love.
"If there's anything wrong, do something, don't sit back and wait," she says.
The day would be a time not just to raise awareness about relationship violence but also for individuals to assess their own situation.
"We hope that this date will mark a time when individuals will reflect upon their relationships and if they find themselves in an unhealthy relationship they will act," Love says.

The group's website, joinonelove.org offers a free app intended to help individuals who may be in an abusive relationship.
"The app is called Danger Assessment," says Love.
"It's based on over 20 years of research from Hopkins University and it consists of 20 questions," Love says.
Concerned by the prevalence of relationship violence, Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., introduced the bill and says he's hopeful it will sail through Congress.
"More than two million are physically assaulted by an intimate partner every year," says Ruppersberger.
Sharon Love says family and friends of an individual who may be in a troubled relationship should also help assess the situation in an effort to avert relationship violence.
"I think people are hesitant to get involved, but we're trying to say everybody get involved, everybody," Love says.

Just because Nicole Richie is better known for being Paris Hilton's similarly weathly party pal -- and now, her reality-show costar on Fox's ''The Simple Life'' -- doesn't mean she lacks ambition or a work ethic. In fact, Lionel's daughter tells MTV News, she's been working on a pop album for a while, since well before her TV show launched this week. She'd also like to sing on Broadway in the rock musical ''Rent.''
Richie, 22, says her music is ''kind of edgy,'' comparing it to the music of Christina Aguilera or Fiona Apple. She says she's been in and out of recording studios but does not want to rush an album into stores just to capitalize on her current TV fame. ''The reason it's taking so long is because I'm really trying to figure out where I want to go with it, because I play piano, violin and cello and I think it would be a waste to just put an album out and be like, 'OK, my show is out and here's my album and here I am,''' she tells MTV. ''That's just so dumb. And I want to take my time on it and kind of incorporate all the training I've had in my past on it and make it my own.'' Nor does she want to exploit her family ties; asked if she'd collaborate with her hitmaking dad, she says, ''No, no, no, no. That's so dumb.''
Richie reportedly auditioned for the role of Maureen in ''Rent'' in New York last week, even though she admits to never actually having seen the Tony-winning musical. Her ''Simple Life'' costar has also said she plans to record an album. Don't know what Paris Hilton's music would sound like, but we bet the video will be very popular.

HSBC Global Connections Trade Report: US Trade Connection With India Expected To Accelerate
The top two trading partners for US businesses remain their closest neighbors – 84% of US businesses traded with Canada, and 74% of US businesses traded with Latin America. Greater China rounds out the top three with 73% of US traders doing business in the region. Close to a third (30%) of US importers and exporters think Latin America holds the greatest potential for trade growth in the coming months, while 22% believe China is the most promising region.
The vast majority (91%) of importers and exporters indicated their need for trade finance will likely stay the same or increase in the next six months, and 44% of all businesses surveyed said they would rely on their banks for funding.
"As our forecasts bear out, despite a difficult 2012, the global landscape is ripe with emerging markets on strong growth tracks," Prabhat Vira, Executive Vice President and Regional Head of Trade and Receivables Finance, said. "US businesses that are considering diversification will find themselves in an attractive position when looking at opportunities for solid international trade partnerships in regions like Brazil, India, Vietnam and Malaysia."

NB: This post was inspired by Chuck Wendig's blog post here.
I think we all do this. I do it all the time, but I'm suffering from a decade's worth of head trauma, so doing what I do is probably not a good idea.
We set ourselves a goal that's out of our control, then, when we don't hit that goal, we punish ourselves.
It usually goes something like this: "I will publish a book by the age of X" or perhaps you do it like this: "I will sell X number of books by 12/12/12."
If we were flexible about these goals, and took it easy on ourselves, then they wouldn't be such a problem. Sadly, expecting a writer to take it easy on themselves is like expecting a bear to eat your arch nemesis.
Theoretically possible, unlikely in reality.*
The biggest issue I have with these sorts of goals is that they're outside of your sphere of influence. Getting published depends at least partly on someone else. You can write the best book you possibly can and still get rejected, or get it accepted and then have to wait 18 months to see your book get printed.
All we can do as writers is write the best stuff we can, then edit the hell out of it. After all that's done then we can try and sell it. Sometimes it'll sell, sometimes it won't, but punishing yourself because of someone else's decision makes no sense.** You will write, you will get rejected, but the only thing you need to do is to force yourself to try and improve your art.
Self flagellation is not self improvement.
I think the best thing we can aim for as writers is a realistic daily word goal (say 1 or 2 thousand words a day***) or a time based goal that forces you to sit in front of your computer for a set amount of time each day regardless of how much you write.
I personally prefer a word count goal as there's no telling how long a particular scene will take me to write.
Have you ever set yourself an unrealistic goal? Did you get there or were you forced to make an adjustment?
* Meet reality half way; put a bear in their living room.
** If you write a blatant rip off of Harry Potter, refuse to edit it and then call and abuse the agents that didn't want to know…then feel free to punish yourself all you like.
*** Terry Pratchett once said: "Write 400 words a day, even if you feel like poo."

FINCH: Big bills brewing in Topeka
By BLAINE FINCH, Kansas State Representative | 2/10/2014
Greetings from the snowy Kansas Statehouse.
As I write this, we are preparing to go on general orders for the first time this session. General orders is that part of the legislative process where the house acts as one large committee and considers bills. Members can make amendments and debate the bill before a vote is taken to move the bill to final action. Final action typically takes place at least one day later and is the final recorded vote on the bill.
Right now, we have four bills that are non-controversial (two insurance matters, one bill allowing homebrewers of beer to share with their friends, and one allowing the Stillwell Township in Johnson County to continue to employ a crossing guard near a school). Not every bill is a big one, and sometimes we take them as they come.
On the bigger bills front, we are going to start seeing some large issues come before us. Some of you have asked about the bill that would allow liquor sales in grocery and convenience stores. The shorthand name is the "uncorked" bill. This bill has been introduced in committee again this year after not getting out of committee last year. Proponents of the bill argue it will be more convenient for consumers to be able to purchase wine and spirits when they purchase their groceries. They also contend it will create jobs at grocery and convenience stores.
Those who oppose the bill argue it will hurt local businesses who have made investments in liquor stores under the current regulatory environment; it will not create a significant number of new jobs as big grocery stores will not add personnel just because they add a new product; and they cite the social concerns of making liquor more readily available and more visible to young people.
I opposed the bill last year for many of the reasons cited above. While I would like to make more profit available to our local convenience stores, the likely outcome in this district is that several of the locally owned liquor stores would go out of business while big box retailers would benefit. These local stores tend to purchase their supplies and services locally, which creates a beneficial economic ripple effect. Also, the current regulations do not bar grocers and convenience store owners from selling liquor if they choose to obtain the permits and create a separate entrance to their liquor store. We have one such convenience store in Franklin County.
I am committed to preserving our local businesses and jobs. If there are changes to the law that allow for a proper balance between customer convenience and preservation of our hometown businesses, I will consider it at that time. But for now, I think the harms of this idea outweigh the benefits.
Blaine Finch is a Kansas House member, representing Franklin County.

He's not coming back yet, sadly.
"I was supposed to be notified by December 31 ... and nothing."
"Everything's so fitted and tight, the armholes of the suits are cut much smaller, the pant leg — it makes you have better posture, it holds you in a very erect position. Which is perfect for the character."
