Pass the Pecans, Please!
Amy Campbell
March 28, 2011
Nuts are big in nutrition right now. We hear a lot about how great almonds, walnuts, and even pistachios are for us. Pecans are usually relegated to the back of the line. But not anymore. March 25 was National Pecan Day (also International Waffle Day, but we won't go there), although National Pecan Month is in April. I guess it means you get two opportunities to celebrate pecans!
A Bit of Pecan History
Pecan Power
What the Research Says
I could go on, but I think you probably get the message: Eating pecans is good for you!
Placing Pecans Your Meal Plan
Hello Amy: Thank you for the work you do at Joslin. I ended up there in the teaching unit as a new Type 1 diabetic while in my last year at BC in 1965. It's a great organization and I learned a lot in the week I was there about diet, etc. At that time I was also dating someone from Simmons at the time :>). But on the other subject, 46 years later, nuts have been an integral part of my diet. In addition to all the nutrients, they are low in carbs, and help you with weight control because (like other proteins/fats) leave feeling "full". They are also cost efficient if you get them as part of Costco's large container of Mixed Nuts. I try to maintain a diet very low in carbs which helps me lose weight and minimize insulin intake, especially Humalog, which, in turn, minimizes the onset of acute low's. Consuming pecans and other nuts, helps a great deal with this whole program.

Hi Moe, It's a small world, isn't it? I actually went to Simmons College for my undergrad degree, too. Thanks for sharing your "experience" with nuts. They definitely can be part of a healthy diabetes eating plan... as long as you can stop at just a handful.

Amy -- Thanks for allowing me to not feel guilty eating my favorite nut. (I am PWD - type 2). I keep reading about the high fat content, and I keep eating the pecans, anyway. I am extremely rigid with my eating plan (diet), otherwise. Now, I will carry post your blog in a prominent place in my kitchen. :)

Hi all, I guess we have to have a day for everything, who would have thought "national pecan day". Great info here, and who doesnt love pecans. Good mentioning about allergies, the thing i dont understand, is where were all these nut allergies when i was a kid? Seems like no one can bring nuts to school because of allergies. Anyway, loved the article.
Posted by: Mark | Mar 31, 2011 11:37 AM
That's great, deedee! Enjoy those pecans!
Posted by: acampbell | Mar 31, 2011 01:08 PM
Hi Mark, Glad you enjoyed the article. As far as why food allergies are on the rise — it's hard to say. It could be due to a number of factors, including our typical "Western" diet which is high in calories, fat, and sugar; it could be because we're all now obsessed with being "clean" and using antibacterial products; it could be that parents are waiting to expose potential allergens, like nuts, to their kids at a later age. Or a combination of those things. Hopefully we'll learn more about it.

The Racist Ravings of Derrick Bell
Posted by John Perazzo Bio
From frontpagemag :
By now, you may already have seen the 1991 video footage of Barack Obama, who was then a 30-year-old student at Harvard Law School, speaking in glowing terms about Harvard professor Derrick Bell, whom Obama described as a man known for "speaking the truth" and for an "excellence of ... scholarship" that had not only "opened up new vistas and new horizons," but had "changed the standards [of what] legal writing is about." "Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell," Obama urged the sizable crowd which had gathered to show their support for Professor Bell that day.
Since the release of the video, Obama's backers have been quick to dismiss it as nothing more than a young scholar's affectionate tribute to a liberal academic icon who not only made major intellectual contributions to his profession, but who also was a leading champion of racial "diversity" in higher education. For instance, CNN host Soledad O'Brien, when interviewing Breitbart.com's editor-in-chief Joel Pollak yesterday about the significance of the video, described Bell benignly as "the first tenured African American professor of law at Harvard University," and characterized the gathering merely as "a rally in support of racial equality among the faculty at Harvard Law School." O'Brien then asked her guest, with apparent bewilderment, "What part of that was the bombshell? Because I missed it. I don't get it. What was a bombshell?"
Derrick Bell is best known as the founding father of Critical Race Theory, an academic discipline which maintains that society is divided along racial lines into (white) oppressors and (black) victims, similar to the way Marxism frames the oppressor/victim dichotomy along class lines. Critical Race Theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently its legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid. A logical derivative of this premise, according to Critical Race Theory, is that the members of "oppressed" racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing. Such a perspective's implications for the ability of civil society to function at all, are nothing short of monumental.
Please take the time to read the entire post here. It is rather long, but well worth the time. Also, please make a comment. How do we get this information into the MSM?

"Kan", was the Israeli entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, performed in Hebrew by Duo Datz. Its lyrics and melody were written by Israeli songwriter Uzi Hitman. The song deals with the singers' establishing their home "here" after "two thousand years" of wandering. The home is explained as being one in which everyone is welcome and generally a great relief to finally have. The song was performed fifteenth on the night, following Norway's Just 4 Fun with "Mrs. Thompson" and preceding Finland's Kaija Kärkinen with "Hullu yö". At the close of voting, it had received 139 points, placing 3rd in a field of 22. It was succeeded as Israeli representative at the 1992 Contest by Dafna Dekel with "Ze Rak Sport". The song remained one of the greatest hits of Duo Datz and a most popular song of שירי ארץ ישראל.

re: Matt Lauer Defends Kanye Interview (120 comments)
That was the most pitiful attempt at intelligence I've ever seen. What Kanye said just made him look like an idiot. On the other hand, there definitely was some attempted manipulation on Matt Lauer's part with the clips and all that; but, like he said, that's nothing new on the television, if Kanye can't deal with something as simple as some clips and his own damn egocentrism then his opinions shouldn't be paid more heed than those of a kid with retardation.

Study: Eating popcorn makes you immune to in-theater ads
Mark Mainz/Getty Images
Mother Wanda Cole-Frieman and her twins Taylor and Isaac attend a screening of 'Cold Mountain' at Leows Movie Theater on 34th Street January 6, 2003 in New York City.
As moviegoers flock to the theaters this weekend, there's no doubt most of them will be grabbing popcorn on the way to their seat. And while the butter and salt drenched snack may not be great for our health, or our wallets, it does have one interesting benefit.
It makes us immune to advertising.
Those commercials that air before the movie previews have no chance against a tub of popcorn, according to a series of studies conducted at Cologne University in Germany.
In the studies, one group of participants were given popcorn and the other a sugar cube. Those that ate popcorn were not subjected to the effects of advertising in their preferred product selection.
Dr. Sascha Topolinski is one of the researchers for the study. He joins the show with more.

Project Blue Light
|Join us as part of "Project Blue Light," and let your blue lights shine for law enforcement during the holidays. Remember, the color blue is also a symbol of peace. When you display your blue lights, you'll be sending a dual message to everyone driving by that you support America's peacekeepers, and that you hope the coming year will be a time of peace.
Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.)
C.O.P.S. was organized in 1984 with 110 individual members. Today C.O.P.S. membership is over 30,000 families. Members include spouses, children, parents, siblings, significant others, and affected co-workers of officers killed in the line of duty according to Federal government criteria. C.O.P.S. is governed by a National Board of law enforcement survivors. All programs and services are administered by the National Office in Camdenton, Missouri. C.O.P.S. has over 50 Chapters nationwide that work with survivors at the grass-roots level.
C.O.P.S. programs for survivors include the National Police Survivors' Conference held each May during National Police Week, scholarships, peer-support at the national, state, and local levels, "C.O.P.S. Kids" counseling reimbursement program, the "C.O.P.S. Kids" Summer Camp, "C.O.P.S. Teens" Outward Bound experience for young adults, special retreats for spouses, parents, siblings, adult children, in-laws, and co-workers, trial and parole support, and other assistance programs.
C.O.P.S. knows that a survivor's level of distress is directly affected by the agency's response to the tragedy. C.O.P.S., therefore, offers training and assistance to law enforcement agencies nationwide on how to respond to the tragic loss of a member of the law enforcement profession. C.O.P.S. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. C.O.P.S. programs and services are funded by grants and donations. Law Enforcement agencies and organizations who support C.O.P.S. at the $250 level or above will be identified as "Partners in Law Enforcement" with C.O.P.S. and will be included on a "Partners" banner that will be displayed at National Police Week.

WASHINGTON-March, 30, 2013-"Sometimes the world is so much sicker than the inmates of its institutions"-Joanne Greenburg, I never Promised You a Rose Garden."
While creating a database of the mentally ill to prevent them from purchasing weapons would not eliminate gun violence in the United States, it is an important tool for law enforcement.
SEE RELATED: Gun control and mental health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Institute of Medicine, former president of the American Psychiatric Association(APA) and current professor at Columbia University Paul Appelbaum, collectively assign an average figure of violent crime committed by the mentally disordered at 4-5 percent. While this number is extremely low, there is no question that putting guns in the hands of the mentally ill can have disastrous consequences.
The sociopathic or psychotic who does engage in violent crime can commit unspeakable violence. The depravity, type, scope and most of all, notoriety of violent crime that is perpetrate on society from the seriously mentally ill is truly chilling.
Recounting titles assigned to crimes committed by mentally ill perpetrators creates horrific visions. The Son of Sam, Boston Strangler, Hillside Strangler, Unabomer, Manson Family, Green River Killer, Zodiac Killer, BTK Killer, D.C. Snipers, Sandy Hook, Columbine, and Virginia Tech among others evoke true terror.
Likewise, the names Gacy, Dahlmer, Manson, Hinckley, Oswald and Bundy induce fear.
SEE RELATED: Arias and Smith: Mothers, girlfriends and cold-blooded murders
These 17 people are responsible for the violent deaths of 275 people and injuries to 42 more.
The mental illnesses responsible for most violent crime are untreated bi-polarism, schizoid personalities and major depressive disorders.
The APA estimates Estimate's three percent of males and 1% of females have Anti-Social Personality Disorder (ASPD). ASPD is the umbrella term to describe similar behaviors of socio and psychopathic disorders. However, 47 percent of males and 21 percent of females who are prison inmates have ASPD, suggesting a link between the disease and violent crime.
According to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal profiler Gregg McCrary, those with ASPD can maintain "Exquisite masks of sanity" making them difficult to detect. They are so adept at hiding their illness, they can often fool mental health professionals.
The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts depression as the leading cause of disability by the year 2020. Young males are identified as creating the greatest number of violent incidents, yet depression within this group is difficult to assess because they often do not seek help from professionals.
Unfortunately, current methods of acquiring information on mental illness may inhibit detection and prevent those needing psychological help from seeking it.

Published on 20th December 2012
An exhibition of work by detainees in the art programme run for Vanuatu Correctional Services by VSA volunteer Keith was a huge success, with some of the work completely sold out.
The exhibition, which ran in Port Vila from December 4 to 13, featured paintings, woodwork and painted wooden fish made by detainees involved in the Kalabus Arts programme at the local men's and women's low-risk prisons.
Keith organised the exhibition with his wife (and fellow VSA volunteer) Dianne Hambrook, who is working as a graphic design and marketing adviser with the Correctional Services.
According to Dianne, sales at the exhibition well exceeded expectations.
"We sold 25 paintings (including one of the two that were on 'silent auction'), 50 calendars and over 300 greeting cards, as well as all the fish and mobiles," she says.
Those who bought work included the New Zealand deputy high commissioner Suzannah Jessop, the editor of local bi-monthly magazine Island Life, and a local French artist.
Dianne says many Ni-Vanuatu also attended the exhibition, which has helped raise awareness about the work being done by Correctional Services.
Most of the detainees with work in the exhibition have now been released, and they are allowed to keep the money they have made from selling their work.
Dianne says the most popular section of the exhibition was the photo gallery. This showed various aspects of the rehabilitation programmes and community work done by detainees in Correctional Centres.
"People were fascinated by the pictures and it worked well as a starting point for discussion."
VSA has been involved with the art programme for three years. It is one of several rehabilitation programmes run in Port Vila's correctional centres. It aims to give detainees a sense of pride and help them develop skills they can use when they are released.

During our beverage service I approach a seat bank, make direct eye contact with a female passenger, say hello and ask her what she would like to drink. Before she could reply her rude-ass male seat mate completely ignoring our exchange feels the need to yell out "COKE!!" (HIS order).
I then go to the back galley where I successfully diagnose him as a narcissistic & misogynist asshole.
I should be a fucking psychiatrist.

I built myself a remote control, Arduino based of course. I needed something that was more practical to use then just an Arduino Uno with various parts connected to it. My old remote control consisted of an Arduino Duemilanove with a joystick, wireless nRF24L01 module, Lipo battery and LCD attached. I had to hold all these parts in my hands to play with my Rover 5. My new remote control will be a bit more practical to use. I bought a joystick shield that fits on top of the Arduino. I then measured it and started drawing 2 plates in Autocad. I found a local company that has a laser cutter and they cut me 2 acrylic plates, not cheap but worth it. The 4 x 20 I2C LCD sits in the top, very handy for debugging while your robot is driving around. I made a PCB with a 3,3V regulator and female header pins to put the wireless nRF24L01 module in, the nRF24L01 module needs 3,3V. The smaller modules can be powered from the 3,3V regulator on the Arduino but the bigger modules with amp and preamp need a separate regulator. The connection from the joystick shield to the nRF24L01 module and the I2C LCD I made by soldering some thin wires directly on top of the shield. Power comes from a small 2 cell 500mAh Lipo battery. I soldered a connector that distributes the power from the battery to the Arduino and 3,3V regulator. The Arduino Uno is mounted on 10mm brass spacers, and between the 2 plates there are 4 30mm spacers. The reason I didn't use my Duemilanove is that these only have 3 mounting holes, so you can't properly mount them. Which is necessary with a joystick shield on top of it, as you will be putting a downward force on it. Thankfully I had an Uno (Chinese clone) laying around. I'm quite happy with the result
5 responses to "Arduino remote control"
Love the build, looks clean and functional.
Hope to make one myself at some point.
I was wondering, what is the range of those nRF24L01 modules?
[…] me hours to sent a simple integer from one Arduino to the other. Some time ago I have made my own remote control using a nRF24L01 module. I've written sketches for it so it can remote control my hexapod or […]
Looks great!
Looking to build something similar but with 2 sets of pots and 2 switches, as for a radio controller for a quad. Throttle, pitch, roll, yaw and 2 aux switches.
Do you have a wiring dia and code for this?

Thanks for everyone who was able to make it out to me while I was up in norcal / Bay Area doing vinyl wraps. I only had one car that cancelled on me without any notice (which is a first out of all of my trips that I have been/gone up there), but other than that everything went good as usual.
This was one of the last cars that I did while up there, and I was a bit excited, so I forgot to take some before pictures of it. The owner of this white Subaru STI wagon / hatch brought his car to me to have me vinyl wrap the roof of his car with my gloss black vinyl material. Subarus are one of those cars that can pull off the matte or gloss black look. Since there is no sunroof on this car, it gives it a very smooth and continuous result / look.

The fresh fruit plate, the fresh fruit on the yogurt parfait---the fruit was awesome!
Internet was excellent except it kept dropping. Really annoying.....
Terrific staff and there are great restaurants within walking distance for breakfast and dinner! Wonderful to be so close to airport!
Still working on our bill!
I liked how friendly and informative the staff was! The location was great, places to eat nearby and not too far from the aquarium of the pacific or the queen mary which is where we was going for our vacation.
I didn't like how small the room felt for how much we paid per night. I'm sure it's because our room came with a sofa bed, but we didn't need that. The other thing I didn't really like was the fact our room didn't have a microwave. We bought some snacks to tide us over during the afternoon until we planned to leave for dinner, and we bought a frozen personal pizza and a hot pocket from the market and then got them to our room and didn't have a microwave to cook them in.
My wife and I 8th anniversary. Had a lovely time. Restaurant near by and at a good price. Loved it,
I didn't stay longer.
I think every room should have a microwave oven or at least every floor. I did not like the fact that I had to pay for parking at the hotel. I think this is a ripoff.
Cleanliness was great, staff was wonderful. We give this hotel 3.5 stars. Complimentary am coffee and getting rid of the $8.95 parking charge would make this a 4-star hotel...
Daily parking charge of $8.95 seemed like an unnecessary gauge.
The location was close to the freeway and the staff was extremely friendly.
The cost was a bit on the high side.
New, clean
Parking and breakfast were add ons.
Parking fee
New and immaculate facility, friendly staff, comfortable room, quiet location, great value for the price!
A little further from 'down-town' Long Beach than I preferred but the facility and staff more than made up for the little bit of extra drive back & forth.
Staff was very professional
clean and nice design
they charge for parking 8 dlls!!
Rooms were nice and spacious
No microwaves :( If u have a mini fridge why not have a microwave.
Brand new, clean, friendly staff. Comfy bed. Convenient location to restaurants.
Poor water pressure. Horrible WiFi. They gave us a room with no bathtub...shower only even though we reserved for 2 adults and a toddler. No microwave in our room even though our reservation said we would have one.
Everything. Lots of desk space for my equipment. Awesome, friendly staff. Everything was perfect. This will be my trusted location whenever in town.
Not one thing! ☆☆☆
The staff were all welcoming and courteous. The airport shuttle drivers were especially helpful. The lobby and courtyard were very nicely renovated. Modern, welcoming. I booked this stay at the last minute after a flight cancellation at LAX, and it was a perfect oasis.
The hallways felt dark and narrow. Could benefit from new lighting. Hotel layout was confusing.
Feels very welcoming.
Room, staff and fitness facility were wonderful. This new Courtyard is the best I've stayed in.
The breakfast menu in the facility is too much like the Starbucks next door without even that much variety.
It was a very nice room.
Bathroom had some hair on the floor. Can hear Doors close very hard.
Excellent common areas to accommodate work/meetings.
We were very pleased with our stay at the Courtyard. Hotel was very clean, quiet, and staff most helpful. THE Front Desk personnel were all most co-operative - especially Frank who helped us with transportation. Wish all hotels were like this one. Can recommend this hotel to everybody.
Comfortable bed, nice amenities, friendly staff
Guests caused a disturbance late at night once -- no security available to stop it?
beautiful hotel but very poorly run
Marriott is usually our first choice but after this stay it will be our last. We had noise problems all night and didn't sleep at all. Even after calling the desk and complaining it still went on. What a nightmare. My question is why do you put people so close together when the hotel clearly wasn't full at all. After many complaints from us and our son and family nothing was done. What a shame as we travel extensively.
Love the decor. The restaurants across the parking lot have finally opened. Nice location.
Paying $8 to park my car is rediculous. This is the only Marriott I've had to do this. No room service, even though there is a Bistro in the lobby.

For the second year in a row, the job of hosting the Academy Awards will be tackled by not one, but two A-list actors. While It's Complicated costars Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin handled last year's show, it's been announced that Anne Hathaway and James Franco will be at the helm of the 2011 Oscars.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences made the announcement on Monday that the two stars will team up for the big night. Oscar producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer said, "James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation of Hollywood icons -- fresh, exciting and multi-talented."
Hathaway is no stranger to the Oscars process, as the 28-year-old (who currently stars in the sexy rom-com Love and Other Drugs) helped announce the 2010 nominees and was a nominee herself in 2009 for her work in the indie drama Rachel Getting Married. She even had a taste of hosting duties when she performed a song-and-dance routine with 2009 host Hugh Jackman!
It could be a lucky night for co-host Franco, 32, who is widely considered a front-runner for his stunning work in the film 127 Hours. The quirky actor plays real-life adventurer Aron Ralston, a man who amputates his own arm in order to survive an accident. Franco's fans will find out if he's nominated for Best Actor when they are announced on Jan. 25, 2011.
Either way, we can't wait to see Franco's charm and comedic timing matched with Hathaway's grace and vocal chops. (Look out Billy Crystal, she may just do a killer opening number!)
The 83rd Annual Academy Awards will air live on ABC from the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center on Feb. 27, 2011.
Do you think Anne Hathaway and James Franco will make for good Oscar hosts? Chime in below!

Used By
A Death Note is a supernatural notebook used by the Shinigami to sustain their life, as well as the principal figure in the Death Note series.
The appearance of a Death Note is chosen by the Shinigami, and there are several different Death Note designs. Most Death Notes are plain black (such as Rem's) and do not have writing on the cover, however Shinigami sometimes write their name on it or the words "Death Note". Those that do contain writing on the front can have the words written in any language, such as English (Sidoh's Death Note) or a Shinigami language (Gelus's Death Note). Other cover designs may exist as well, but that would be completely up to the Shinigami owning that particular Death Note. Death Notes which are red or white exist, although they are never shown in the series. Death Note's can also take a form other than a notebook, such as a scroll. Death Note: How To Read 13 suggests that the form changes based on the human era.
The inside of a notebook looks like that of a school notebook, and contains ruled white pages. The notebook is activated when someones name is written in it. Regardless of how many names are written in it, the notebook will never run out of pages. Death Notes are made from an unknown material, however they feel and look like regular notebooks and it is possible to rip and burn the pages. Human science cannot analyze a Death Note.
The purpose of the Death Note is to take Human life, thereby increasing the life of the Shinigami who uses it. There are many rules as to how the Death Note can be used, though the most pivotal rule is that "The Human whose name is written in this note shall die."
Use by ShinigamiEdit
Shinigami normally use Death Notes to kill humans from the Shinigami Realm, thereby adding each human's remaining years of life to their own. Rogue Shinigami are Shinigami who drop extra Death Note(s) from the Shinigami Realm down to the human world in order to allow humans the use of their spare killer notebook(s). It is unknown how many notebooks exist in the Shinigami Realm, as well as how Death Notes are created.
Use by humansEdit
A Death Note can be used by a human, although their lifespans do not increase by doing so. Historically, humans have either killed other humans with the Death Note(s) or ended up burning and therefore destroying the Death Note for any number of reasons. Ryuk is the first Rogue Shinigami that is shown in the manga, yet it is stated early in the series that there have been other Death Notes dropped in the human world before. And as seen in the anime, Rem came to the human world just about a month after Ryuk dropped the notebook.
Death NotesEdit
A total of four notebooks are present in the Human World during the manga and anime series. These notebooks are listed here along with names of the people who gained ownership. Here the notebooks are referred to using the name of the Shinigami who originally owned it. For example, the first notebook used by Light is called "Sidoh's Death Note".
|Death Note
|Sidoh's Death Note
|Gelus's Death Note
|Rem's Death Note
|Ryuk's Death Note
|Ryuk's notebook remains with him for the entirety of the series.
How to Use It: The Complete RulesEdit
|The following information is quoted directly from Death Note: How To Read 13. Please note that this is not a list of the rules written in the Death Note by Ryuk. For that, see Sidoh's Death Note. For a complete list of Rules governing use of the Death Note, see Rules of the Death Note.
This section reveals the rules governing the use of the Death Note. They have been divided into four parts: 1)How to Use It, 2)Ownership, 3)the Shinigami Eyes, and 4)the Shinigami Rules. Here the rules will be explained by highlighting specific scenes from the series.
I. How To Use ItEdit
1.1 Entering NamesEdit
- The Human whose name is written in this note shall die. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in mind when writing his/her name. This is to prevent people who share the same name from being affected.
- Use in the story: Realizing that people sharing the same name cannot be killed at once, L uses the name of an idol singer named Hideki Ryuga when he approaches Light.
- The Death Note will not ever affect a person whose name has been misspelled four times.
- When the same name is written in two or more Death Notes within 0.06 seconds, the entry is regarded as simultaneous; the Death Notes will not take effect and the individual will not die.
- When the same name is written in two or more Death Notes, the note which was used first will take effect, regardless of the time of death.
- If a Death Note owner accidently misspells a person's name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note. However, if the Death Note owner intentionally misspells the name four times, the owner will die.
- The Death Note will not take effect if the victim's name is written on several different pages. However, the front and back of a page is considered to be one page. For example, the Death Note will take effect if the victim's last name is written on the front page and first name on the back.
1.2 Entering the Causes and Conditions of DeathEdit
- If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of the subject's name, it will happen.
- If the cause of death isn't specified, the victim dies of a heart attack in 40 seconds. However, the rule can be delayed for twenty-three days, meaning you can write down "dies by heart attack in [xx] days."
- After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be entered within the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
- If the time of death is specified within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated and can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name.
- The conditions of death will not be realized unless they are physically possible for that human or could be reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human. Although it is possible to control a person's actions, if an impossible situation is written down the person will simply die of a heart attack.
- Since the limitations applying to the conditions of a death are unknown to the Shinigami, Death Note owners must find out on their own.
- You may write the cause and/or death prior to filling in the name of the individual. Be sure to insert the name in front of the cause of death. You have about 19 days (according to the human calendar) to fill in a name.
- Use in the story: Light was able to wipe out all the FBI agents by writing their conditions of death ahead of time and having Raye write in the names.
- After an individual's name, time of death, and conditions of death are entered in the notebook, the time and conditions of death may be altered as many times as desired as long as they are changed within six minutes and 40 seconds from the time they are filled in. But, of course, this is only possible before the victim dies.
- If you write "dies of accident" for the cause of death, the victim will die from a natural accident six minutes and 40 seconds after the time of entry. "Accident" is a condition of death, so six minutes and 40 seconds are provided to write down additional details. The conditions do not take effect until this time has passed.
- Shonen Jump made Death Note notebook replicas, which can be bought from their website.
- Misa's Death Note for the Death Note movie is also purchasable, and it comes with a pen.

I've been in Europe. I performed last night at the European VMAs. Alot of you were there and some of you were nominated and some won.It was a good night.But today I am exhausted and jet lagged.Today (all day) I've felt like I was moving underneath water. The rest of the world seemed to go at its usual pace, but I felt overly buoyant, unanchored, adrift. All my senses felt overloaded. I've been so lost in my thoughts (though I can't really pinpoint what those thoughts are) that when the phone rang or someone asked me a question I found myself shocked to be awake, to be working. being so disoriented is grating after a while - Its hard to keep up with people who are functioning on dry land when you feel as though you're gliding through the slow-motion smoothness of water. I fucking hate jet-lag.So I keep thinking of this song by Fiona Apple, because it explains my mood today so well....( Sullen Girl )
the moon this week has looked like the imprint of the tip of a thumbnail pressed gently into a bowl of dark blue jello. the cresent is so sharp and delicate.there are stars again, bright in the clear cool sky. do me this favor - go out and look for saturn. it should be the brightest speck in the sky. look to the east, for a tawny orb. we have the best angle to see saturn's rings for the next three decades. if you have a telescope... find it. if you're like me, (and alas, telescope-less) sit outside and look up wistfully, imagining the view magnification would provide. also this: nov. 19th will be host to a meteor shower... the best viewing time will be in the very early morning wake up early and watch the stars falling into the morning's sunrise.
it's raining outside :)i stepped out onto the balcony and took a deep breath.it smells wonderful.wet earth, and rain water.i love this weather.
( Having Bono Here Reminded Me of This... )
Last night I sat on the roof for a little while. I had on a pair of jean shorts which was silly but I get warm pretty easily and they were comfortable and I threw on a flannel and I pretended like I used to. There was always me and this guy, no one specific ya know, just someone I used to pretend I was gonna meet. He would sit out there with me, put on his leather jacket and grab his guitar and we would sit huddled together sort of while he played songs for me. Now I have this one song stuck in my head but it amuses me. I have a cool roof. I want to have a party out there one of these days. I'd like to string some different color lights across the edges or chinese lanterns or something or maybe have a theme party or something a beach blanket party or maybe a Hawaiin theme. That could be fun and I know my friends would totally dig something like that. After all they love to dress up. Maybe when a warm spring day comes around again. For now the trees are beautiful and I love the leaves on the ground and driving underneath the boughs of red and yellow and orange and the wind. These things always make me feel so alive and at peace. I've always felt very connected with the weather and the moon of course. Remembering it I feel mellow, I feel content. I'm not too worried about things and I think that's ok. I think it's ok to just be. I'm going up, I'm going somewhere. I don't know where yet but I have a feeling it's going to be good. The album's selling like wild and ya know only a few people are still callin me a skank so *laughing*. Maybe I can handle the fame, this time...I love my life right now.That's new.I haven't pierced anything in a long time, nothing needed to be let out or silenced. Maybe it's finally out and I can meet that guy I've always wished for and ya know, not let it go.
So today was TRL day?inside, so a damn sight warmer than last Friday, outside in the New York cold singing for the Today Show, but ya know that meant more, seemed more real and shit. If you've ever been on TRL and maybe even if you haven't, you'll get what I mean here, when I say it's fake. Carson smiles while you're standing there and then stabs you in the back the second you turn around. He's all kissing my ass right now and saying the most embarrassing shit. Yeah embarrassing. I know I'm not supposed to get embarrassed because yo the video and the cover of Rolling Stone, but it's not like that. That's not me, that's the product ya know. I'm sellin my album and the song and that's what it's about. I don't regret doing it and I'm not ashamed of it. So for anyone thinkin they're gonna tell me I'm a whore or whatever, save it. I don't give a fuck and you don't know me. If you did, you'd know it ain't like that.It's like I admire people like Will and Jada, that kinda love. It's not something you just find. Not if you're me anyway. I've met lots of guys and for the most part they aren't worth my time and the ones that are..Well I never seem to have enough time and they don't want a part time girlfriend. So I work and then I come back home here and look out the penthouse window at the park. It's like having a window into another life. A place I wish I belonged but hey, I don't so instead I give my soul to the music and I look at the world through my window.I know that the most majestic tree on my street was a vibrant, full yellow three days ago, I noticed as I left for the Today Show that morning. For days it had been working toward changing, but it was like it had turned its entire being to that autumn color almost overnight.Yesterday morning it had dropped more than half of its leaves, and I was a little sad at the quickness of its shedding.This morning all the leaves, save for a very fluttering few on the lower branches over the street, were scattered all over the ground, on the pavement, in the ditch, on the driveway. I was very sad to think its show could be over already.I couldn't help but think how much like life that can be. Sometimes the most beautiful things are the ones that are so brief, and I remembered that little tale of the singing bird that thrusts itself upon a thorn in order to give up its song.... its sweet, short song.It also reminds me that the sweetness of life is found in many glancing things, swiftly passing, almost like air by my face, and that I should take care to behold them all, and not try to hold on to them. See in your hands the world is yoursDon't hold back and always know All the answers you will unfoldWhat are you waiting for Spread your wings and soar
Orsen Welles said that...How I know that I have no clue.Sounded cool to me though.Things went good this morning on the TODAY show. It was damn cold outside, still is, but alot of the fans were out there waiting to see me. Those girls in the chaps and panties! No way was I going out there in anything even close to that. Got the coat, hat, gloves...I felt bad for them, they had to be freezing. I wish I could have invited them all inside to get warm. Instead I stayed when they cheered and we ended up playing about 4 songs. This weekend I'm just hanging out and relaxin here in the Big Apple. Gonna be on TRL on monday, so that oughta be cool...Carson is such a kiss ass though I hope he's not there. Quaduus (I cannot spell his damn, but he's such a good guy) would be better, at least he'll ask me about something other than my ass and not gush. I hate gushing. But Carson also talks me up big and any publicity is a good thing at least according to management, so whatever. Right now I'm just looking forward to my couple of days off.The apartment here has an incredible fireplace in it and I know I saw some flakes of snow a few hours ago, before it got too dark to see them that is, and I'm putting on my flannel pj pants and tank top, all New York Giant's colors thanks to my brother Michael.Well that's it for me, boring but hey it's late.Night, oh one more thing. Some of you are soooooooo nice around here. Marshall always comments, making sure I'm never lonely and worries about my health (ie he thinks I have a drug problem) and A.J. is buying me clothes.I'm feelin the love :)
I am a shadow lost among shadows known, moving by the trance that eludes me; towards the seducer whose seduction is its wildest call; a waking world closes and dreams begin to fall.Is there a vision among the starry skies? Is there an uttermost realm of grave existence? I am led through this darkness, where light hangs low; misty and darker still, lying on my brow; 'til it finally opens to bright clear blue, and there, no realities are ever lost.I falter for an embrace, a longing, a deeper kiss, that not even sleep cycles would break. Oh, only whispers will awaken phantoms of the night, moving beneath sweet, grey-skied bliss.
Last night I had nightmares, all night long. I dreamt about paralysis and vulnerability, I relived past terrors again and again. I woke up with tears on my face... lying on the floor. I have no idea when I got out of my bed. But now today I have this undercurrent of fragility as a result. these dreams are recurrent and every time I have them... I end up spending a few days feeling like an ancient china plate - still whole but lined with an infinite branching of fine cracks. I hesitated to post about them, because that seems to make them more real... I know that isn't logical, but I hope it made sense. sometimes the most real things are the ones that aren't logical (or linear or empirical) at all. I haven't had these dreams in a very long time. every time I think they are gone they come back again. I can't seem to pinpoint any one specific trigger... but tonight it won't be easy to go to sleep.
I really enjoyed myself while filling this out and yo I don't normally like quizzes. But this one was like, hey I'm really tellin something about myself here. I feel sorta like I just nestled into my favorite down comforter and awoke from a good dream. The Impromptu SurveyCurrent book being read: Dead Souls by Ian RankinThings that I will never compromise on:1) Music is why I'm here, the rest is how I stay here. 2) Beauty does not come in a bottle. I do not need make-up, hair dye, manicures, or the latest in fashion to be complete or beautiful. I am not my image.3) I, alone, as I am, am enough.4) The city beats the country.5) The New York Giants are the best football team ever, even if they never win another game, because New York is New York.6) It's okay to dream.Favorite small details:1) the beauty of the sky and it's everchanging cloud, light and color composition2) the fresh earthy smell of the air after a long rain fall3) breath on a window on a cold rainy day4) eyelashes5) a certain note in some songs--it's like a trigger into another world6) The unmatchable blue of my mother's eyes7) The moment before starting a new book, and the moment after reading the last page of a book.Current Favorite pieces of art (in no particular order):1) The Earth, or The Universe, insert your own artist or non-artist as fits you. 2) Flaming June--Leighton3) Expectations--Alma Tadema4) Stonehenge--unknown5) The Pieta--MichelangeloFondest Dreams:1) To have a piece of land on Long Island with a smallish warm cozy cottage, and a garden.2) To be proud of myself.3) A big floppy dog to roam with?my Wolfie4) A bike to ride on narrow undriven roads.5) To spend a great deal of time exploring Paris.Favorite Children's Books:1) The Little Princess by Burnett2) Snow White and Rose Red.3) The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss.4) The Witches, Madeline, and just about anything by by Roald Dahl. 5) The Last of the Really Great Wangdoodles by Andrews6) Little Women by Alcott
So, I found out today that I now get free underwear from Victoria's Secret. this makes me happy and a little uncomfortable.And makes me think of my two favorite parts of the day that are part of my ritual:1. showering in the morning. I love to watch the steam swirl in the morning with my just-awake sense of amazement and confusion. and then smells of lavender and juniper.. the textures, the feeling of soap and suds. The sensation of being alive and awake and comfortable of being okay and it being another day. Its a calm moment to myself before re-entering the world of people. Its yummy.2. Changing clothes at the end of the day. Finally allowing myself release not just from the constriction of "the new look" but from the whole role. Then I put on clothes I can slosh around in and be comfy. Clothes that don't mind dirt or rain or paint getting on them. Shoes that don't make me hurt. And slowly I feel my mind returning to myself and away from that illusion. I suppose they are both transitions - and they both mark the turning points of my day - Twin fulcrums upon which this sort of stylized existence centers. And at least I always have something to look forward to. :)and hey new layout...I'm proud
Hey yo, so I'm here in the journals writin or not...Damn, ya know that's not all that's me. I'm more than the street slang and all that shit. I'm still Chris to my friends, but right now it's whatever sells the record and gets me noticed. Maybe here I've found a place to just be me and not be what the public wants.And if not yo, I can be dirrty too.*laughs* Damn that even sounds dumb to me sometimes.Later guys I'll write more soon.

Girl, 10, now 'smiling and laughing' after being shot playing in hydrant
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Staff Reporter email@example.com July 4, 2012 1:34PM

The condition of a 10-year-old girl who was critically wounded as she played at an open hydrant on the West Side has stabilized and she probably won't need surgery, officials said Wednesday.
The girl's aunt, Tavionne Kohnke, 21, said Wednesday after visiting her niece, Kitanna Peterson, in the hospital, "She is fine. She is smiling and laughing."
The girl and her mother's boyfriend, were cooling off from the heat when they were shot at 11:20 p.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of North Leamington, Chicago Police spokesman Hector Alfaro said.
The girl, who was shot in the left wrist and abdomen, was taken in critical condition to West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park before she was transferred to Stroger Hospital. The man was shot in the right heel, police said. He was listed in good condition at West Suburban Medical Center.
Kohnke said the girl was playing with other children in the neighborhood next to a fire hydrant when "people came by, shooting."
She said the adults tried to protect the children by shielding them.
On Wednesday, a Stroger Hospital spokeswoman said the girl was in stable condition and, for now, won't require surgery. She's recuperating in a pediatric section of the hospital.
"It makes you sad," said Gloria Moore, who lives near where the shooting took place and has 19 grandchildren. "You don't to hear that happening to a grown person let alone a child."
Neighbors said several children had played in front of the hydrant for the last couple of days.
"I heard a couple of shots and I thought they were firecrackers," said Roscoe Blackwell, who was visiting a girlfriend near the shooting. "Then I saw them pick someone up. ... I heard someone yell, 'someone's been shot.'"
Arries Dixon, said she saw the children playing earlier Tuesday.
"That's messed up," she said of whoever fired the shots. "You know there are all these kids around. That's when you start shooting? You know it's possible a kid could get shot."
Shootings are common in the neighborhood, other neighbors said.
Nakita Collins, 23, who has lived in the neighborhood her whole life, said she has watched Austin decline.
"It's become infested with drugs and gang activity," said Collins, adding that she often feels abandoned by the city and police.
"We pay taxes and they don't take care of us," she said. "They don't patrol. ... I just don't think they care."
Kitanna and the man who was injured were among at least 15 people shot within a 5.5 hour period Tuesday evening in the city, including a 15-year-old boy who was wounded while playing basketball, officials said.
