What is moral nihilism?
by Matt Slick
Moral nihilism, which is also known as ethical nihilism, is the view that within ethics nothing is inherently moral or immoral. "Nihilism" means "nothing," so with such nihilists there is no right and wrong other than what is assigned by people. This would also mean there are no universal "oughts." That is to say, there is nothing that anyone ought to do--whether it be honest, save a life, protect someone else, not steal, etc. Moral nihilists often affirm "oughts" when they are instrumental. In other words, a person ought to continue breathing if he wants to live. A person ought to treat people honestly if he wants to be treated honestly, etc. So, their morality is subjective, self-determined, and utilitarian.
Moral nihilism would be consistent with an atheistic, materialistic worldview with no transcendent being who informs us about what is right and wrong as a revelation of his character (which is the Christian position). Atheism will necessarily require that moral statements have no intrinsic value. The morals would have to be agreed upon, debated, and formulated where they are assigned by an individual or individuals, hence, moral nihilism.
Moral nihilists do not deny that people can "claim" to have moral absolutes, but they would deny that moral absolutes exist. Rather, they have descriptive morals that reflect cause-and-effect. So, where someone would be burned by putting his hand into a flame, he ought to avoid doing that so not to be burned. Rape would be "morally wrong" because it is damaging to the victim and to society as a whole, so they agree it is to be avoided.
Refuting Moral Nihilism
The philosophical problem with moral nihilism is that it cannot justify its arbitrary moral assessments; and when it does make moral assessments, it does so based on what "ought" to be done, thereby, refuting itself. Let me explain. Moral nihilists would say that murder is to be avoided because the end result is negative since it injures a person and/or society. In saying this they are assigning a value to the result--in this case a negative value based on the effect of the action: murder. But, why assign that negative value? If they say it is because it hurts people, then they are saying that there is an intrinsic value to not hurting people--and that is inconsistent with their position. If they say that they just choose to assign a negative value to murder and yet they also deny intrinsic value of that action, then they are not able to justify their assignment as being anything other than arbitrary without inadvertently appealing to intrinsic value. If they admit that punishing a murderer is nothing more than an arbitrary decision, then they admit it is just as defensible to murder another because there is no intrinsic value to it.
If the moral nihilist wants to say that the so-called ethical values are derived from that which increases harmony in society, then they are citing the goal and assigning value to it because there is an "ought" there; otherwise, they would not assign such a value to it in the first place. They are recognizing an inherent value without admitting they are doing so. For immoral nihilists to be consistent, they should not assign any value to any action even if it increases or decreases harmony within society or one's personal life. But, if that is the case, then robbing them is neither right nor wrong. It is just inconvenient for the victim. And, can we jail someone for inconveniencing someone else?

Study: Mobile Internet Use in 2012
Pew Internet & American Life Project has revealed new statistics that could have a profound impact on how websites are built in the near future.
Pew Internet & American Life Project has revealed new statistics that could have a profound impact on how websites are built in the near future.
Cell Internet Use 2012 Study
According to new data from a recent study, 88 percent of adults in the United States own a cell phone and 55 percent of them are using their handsets to go online. Pew points out that this is a 24 percent increase over the 31 percent of cell phone owners that admitted to doing so three years ago.
Given the proliferation of touch-enabled smartphones with generous screen sizes in recent years, plus network speeds that are slowly creeping ever upward, Pew's findings are revelatory, if not shocking. Furthermore, there is one surprising statistic that points to a new breed of mobile die-hards. Read more about the Cell Internet Use 2012 study on Datamation.

Chimichangasby Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, April 16, 2013
The chimichanga, or chimi as it's affectionately termed in the Southwest, is a deep-fried burrito stuffed with meat, vegetables and spices. Once fried to perfection, chimichangas are often topped with cheese and served with a variety of condiments, such as green onions, diced tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream and black olives. Sounds delicious, right? It is delicious, but consider that one restaurant-style chimi has around 760 calories, 34 grams of fat and 1,930 mg of sodium. With that much sodium, you're done for the day — you'll have reached your daily max in sodium in only one meal. Store-bought frozen chimichangas fare slightly better, with around 300-500 calories, 25 grams of fat and 1,200 mg of sodium per serving. Filling aside, it's the deep-frying that does most of the damage. Regular burritos have about 200-300 calories and 10-20 grams of fat each, but drop them into the deep-fryer and you can add 225 calories and 21 grams of fat to each burrito. Yes, the deep-fried, crunchy exterior is great, but not worth the health consequences, especially when a healthier version is so easy to make.
You can stuff flour tortillas with delicious ingredients and then bake the chimichangas in the oven for the same, amazing result. Try this recipe and let me know if you agree.
Beef and Cheese Chimichangas
Cooking spray
1 pound extra lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup picante sauce, regular, medium or hot, plus extra for serving on the side if desired
6 medium flour tortillas (soft taco size)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 beefsteak tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Add the beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Drain away all fat and return the beef to the pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and oregano and cook for 3 minutes, until the onion is soft and the oregano is fragrant. Add the picante sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in the cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Arrange the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Fold over half of the tortilla to cover the filling, tuck in the ends and continue rolling up. Transfer the stuffed tortillas to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, and spray the surface with cooking spray. Top the tortillas with the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese melts.
Serve the chimichangas with the green onions, tomato and black olives.

Michael Musto recommends Valley of the Dolls
Valley of the Dolls
1967, Mark Robson
screenplay: Helen Deutsch and Dorothy Kingsley; based on the
novel by Jacqueline Susann
cast: Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, Susan Hayward, Paul Burke, Sharon Tate, Tony Scotti, Martin Milner, Charles Drake, Alexander Davion, Lee Grant, Robert H. Harris, Joey Bishop, George Jessel, Jacqueline Susann
Valley of the Dolls is often described as a tasteless piece of outrageous, trashy camp——to which I say, "Duh. That's why I love it!" In fact, though many "serious" critics feel Valley is the worst film ever made, I can't find anything wrong with it. This camp classic, based on Jacqueline Susann's smash novel about three showbiz lovelies and their battles with pills, works on every conceivable level. It's an eye-opening fashion show, a giddy musical, and a behind-the-scenes cautionary tale. It's also brimming with real-life gossip, like how Susan Hayward replaced Judy Garland as the over-the-hill barracuda Helen Lawson. It's probably a good thing Judy dropped out, because Helen's nemesis——Neely, a spunky upstart on pills played by Patty Duke——was based on the young her! Beyond the gossip, the big hair, the nutty dialogue ("That little whore makes me feel nine feet tall!"), and the outlandish situations (a love duet sung in a rehab center), Valley of the Dolls is as engrossing and fun to watch today as when it came out.

We do not understand how we've come to write about asses every single week now.
Or, how many times can we type the phrase "donkey booty"?
NeNe and Gregg got engaged, so the will-they-won't-they get back together of this season has become a moot point.
Nene tries to discern whether or not Kenya is "real"; Cynthia and Peter go to a strip club; everyone drinks.
Back to Anguilla for some tropical fighting and dashed wedding dreams.
A secret wedding goes down, though everyone seems to know about it.
Vacation means marriage pressure, donkey booties, and the occasional bathtub tragedy.
Chances are great that Kim will no longer be on the show, and we are feeling all of our feelings about it.
Much to our dismay, this is a Kim-heavy episode.
We finally get to meet the last new housewife.
I think we're contractually obligated to start each show with Nene, and so we do again this week.
Yes, four seasons have gone by, but we're still excited to be recapping this show.
Yes, it's parody, but is it?
Nene on Glee? Sounds more like Glee-ne. (Work with us here.)
Watch what happens! When random cast members from different cities appear together for no reason.
He has no love for 'Jersey Shore,' however.
Kim, Sheree, and NeNe are your new ghostbusters in this deeply unlikely cross-promotional event concocted by NBC Universal.
Plus: Kim Kardashian's NYC birthday bash, Jessica Simpson in the throes of romance, and more, in our weekly roundup of celebrity dining.

I got this in response to the post I did last night on the problem of The Indian Male vs the New Indian Male and how the education and treatment of men has to change in India.
I spent the day thinking about this. This is clearly a post from A Voice for Men that's been cut and paste (I do check if my mail is just cut and pasted from somewhere else). And the problem here is that who ever is using this as a response has not understood the problem of privilege in an Indian context or even in a western context. Today's piece comes from Typhonblue.
I'll tell you first how you don't stop rape.
Is it "by coddling men as special little fairies who get everything they want"?
Seeing a poster that says "My strength is not for hurting" or "don't be that guy" won't do anything that a law doesn't.
Because posters do not work at all.
And yes. I picked that poster for a reason. Superman is a male power fantasy but also one that's actually really remarkable. The confident superman of yesteryear is replaced by the nuanced superman who is a slave to his powers. While the Man who has Everything may be the very epitome of masculinity, he is also plagued by insecurities. He has to pretend to be Clark Kent to be accepted in society. He bleeds for other men, literally throwing himself at monsters to protect others because "he can take it". He has to hold back because other people cannot take it. Superman is the very epitome of self control. Unlike his enemies, the man of steel is powered by humanity which makes him the Superman that we all love. It's not his powers that makes us love him but the fact that he is responsible with them because he lives in a world of cardboard.
What does this have to do with rape? Nothing if you can't get the allegory. Superman is a hero because he understands his privilege and uses it for good. And even though he is considered naive (his opponent is a man with no real super powers and who wears a suit and that's considered a good match for him) he is nuanced enough to utilise the privilege granted by what he is to help others. He could backhand a villain so hard his head flies off. But he does not because he uses his privilege for good. And it requires concentration.
Be that man.
It's "easy" to throw your arm around a woman who is drunk and take advantage of her. Some women almost expect it. The power is in the hands of men to say no and change the way things work. And posters that remind you of how that occurs help.
The VAST majority of rapists are men on women followed by men on men. Women as rapists are a minority. This is well known. By targetting a demographic where there are a lot of popular assumptions about rape and telling them that some of these assumptions are wrong you are not harming that demographic. You are informing them.
You see an anti-rape law is sorta like an anti-rape poster except with a punishment attached for not following what the poster says.
Except anti-rape posters don't seek to punish rapes but prevent them. The difference may be hard for the MRA to understand but prevention of rape is better than punishment. Let's take the Steubenville Rape Trial. Who here thinks that the BEST outcome of that situation was the punishment of the two boys? Who here thinks that if there was a way to reduce that sort of behaviour by changing the culture of young men and indeed the society that helped create this terrible crime.
Prevention is better than the punishment.
So how is saying "men, don't rape" going to be more effective than saying "men, don't rape" and then adding "if you do, you go to jail?"
By informing men that there are some behaviours that are widely considered to be fun that are not acceptable and that doing them is considered rape, you will inform men that many actions they consider sensible are really not.
This goes back to the changes in the way we perceive women and men not being taught to change their perceptions and how they act.
Saying "Men! Don't sleep with that passed out woman even if she says she wants it, because the alcohol judges her senses and it is rape. She will feel terrible. Don't be that guy" is trying to create social responsibility in men rather than simply throw them into jails.
Because this is what these feminist inspired posters essentially are. They are a law, against rape, but without the actual criminal punishment. If the law isn't an effective deterrent, than how is a poster going to be an effective deterrent?
The problem with "We were drunk and had sex" is that it is difficult to prosecute it as rape. That's the "problem". Because drunk people CAN give consent and alcohol makes you make bad decisions. These aren't the law. These are just suggestions. Suggestions that make life better for women and men.
Are you honestly saying that "Don't be that guy" deeply insults your masculinity such that the only way to assuage this is to channel the spirit of Ghenghis Khan and rape your way twice as hard as you would normally? OR you know, think about your actions. On some small level, you would understand that alcohol makes you make bad decisions and realise that those can also extend to bad decisions on who you sleep with.
Men who rape are not raping because they've been told it's cool or fun or awesome, or because they heard an off color joke, saw a naked ankle or watched porn… they rape because they have a powerful emotional compulsion to do so.
Except this makes men GENUINELY FUCKING DANGEROUS. That there is some switch inside me that turns me into a rapist. That men who rape are not in control of their actions. Your actual argument is "that they cannot help it".
Let's get something clear. Human beings—barring the congenitally emotionally disabled such as sociopaths—don't want to rape. They don't like rape. Rape is the exact opposite of what a human being wants when they engage in sex. Men, who happen to be human beings just like women, want to feel desirable.
Except many men don't see what they do as rape. They aren't holding knives to throats or guns to heads as much as causally demonstrating the raw difference in average power. You are most likely to be raped by a friend or a partner than by some random stranger.
Most men are devastated after being rejected by a woman. What makes anyone think that the average man is going to enjoy enduring the most profound rejection one human being can muster for another—which is exactly what the rapist endures in order to rape.
Because we sell men the notion that women should simply drop whatever they are doing and be pleased that we are talking to them. Rejection WILL occur. Not every woman is attracted to you. Big Fucking Deal.
That's like suggesting that you wish for a life where everything goes your way.
Again, the majority of rapists are men in relationships with the victim.
If you saw someone eating broken glass, would you assume the glass is tasty or conclude there's something seriously wrong with the person chowing down?
Except this isn't broken glass. It's a very simplistic attitude to "rape" and assuming there is only one sort.
What the current crop of male targeted anti-rape posters will do is normalize rape. It won't normalize rape for men who aren't compelled to rape in the first place. Nope. It'll just shame them. But it will normalize rape for men who are rapists.
How are you being ashamed by a poster that is telling men to be mindful of things that can be considered rape.
It isn't normalising rape, it is pointing out that the majority of rapists are "men" who don't realise that their actions constitute rape and that spreading awareness of the inherent power men currently have over women and how it is utilised doesn't harm anyone.
Instead of seeing themselves as damaged individuals who are engaging not just in harm to others, but harm to themselves, rapists—male ones at least—will see themselves as the guys who do what every other guy really wants to do, but doesn't have the balls.
A lot of rape is about power and getting what you want on demand. It's frankly astonishing to hear that a poster informing men that they should not sleep with drunk women as drunk women may not be able to provide proper consent. Just think about your actions…
And this somehow normalises rape?
The "Rapist" stereotype is actually a rarity. You are more likely to be raped by someone you know and indeed "love" than someone who is a rapist.
They aren't hurting, they're edgy.
Rapists are in the business of rationalizing their compulsion to repeat, rationalizing their sense of powerlessness, and current anti-rape posters help them do just that. Rape is normal male behaviour, dontcha know? Something men teach each other to do when feminists aren't there to stop them.
No. It's not "normal male behaviour". It's a behaviour of privilege and of men being told that they can get what they want when they want.
The fact the author stated that getting shot down by a woman is so devastating is indicative that the author doesn't understand that the only reason it's devastating is that the author's idea of a man is so used to getting his own way that this is the first time he has to deal with rejection.
Rapists are not compelled to rape. If they are then they are a serious psychiatric threat to society. They aren't powerless, rape is about the exertion of power and it's rationalised most often as "She's my girlfriend or wife/she wanted it".
The only way you can believe in this is if you don't think that the majority of rape is "rape".
But if jokes, naked ankles and porn don't cause men to rape women, what does?
Being raped.
That's right. In fact, having been sexually abused by a woman is a stronger risk factor for becoming a future sexual abuser in boys than having been sexually abused by a man.
Citation Needed…
And this only holds true if we talk about serial rapists and serial killers for whom sexual abuse is a MASSIVE indicator of possible reasons for having such an issue. However as I said the only way this may hold true is if you simply ignore date, spousal or drunken rape.
This is where the emotional compulsion to abuse comes from. This is the motivation. This is the manufacture process for adult male rapists.
Yet despite being sexually violated, only a fraction of these boys go on to abuse! That's how resistant to raping the average male human is; even the most effective method of training a boy to become a rapist—by raping him–is only effective for one out of every ten boys.
Yet roughly 1 in 5 women claims to have been raped. Are you suggesting that all these women are raped by a "fraction" of these boys? They must be awfully busy.
And let's take the Steubenville Rapists. Funny how neither of them turned out to have been abused as children yet managed to rape someone.
I am sorry, again the problem here is that the MRAs are willing to alleviate blame from men and portray rapists as individuals acting on instinct.
The idea that a bad joke, a naked ankle or porn will cause men to rape is demonizing. The idea that there exists a "rape culture" teaching men to rape in any way but by raping them and then ignoring their subsequent emotional disorder is depraved.
In response to the Delhi Rapes, there where various people in India who blamed the victim for being out "late" and having a "boyfriend". There were people who blamed the boy who was attacked for not fighting off 6 men simultaneously let alone 6 men who were armed. Various politicians ignored the rape and made it out to be a political move to derail conversation rather than people genuinely wondering why society has fucked up that much. People blamed Jeans. People blamed Mobile Phones. They even blamed KFC.
Not one person was willing to stand up and point out that the misogynistic culture of India creates entitled men who think any demands made must be acquiesced to and so don't see rape as rape but as "getting what they asked for".
When the two young boys raped a young girl at Steubenville they were protected by a large proportion of the town. If that's not a culture that protects rapists then I am a pidgeon.
And here's the thing. Right now, in the US, there is an epidemic of institutionalized sexual abuse that is being ignored in favor of manufactured statistics about sex trafficking of girls and other juicy sexualized and sensationalized threat narratives designed to push our buttons.
In fact this epidemic of sexual abuse makes the Catholic Church scandal pale in comparison.
Since the 1950s approximately 12,000 men have come forward to admit abuse in the Catholic Church sex scandal.
10,000 boys a year are being sexually abused by female staff in juvenile detention facilities in the US. A YEAR.
Okay and this is apparently the source of all rape? Which doesn't explain why so many rapists have NEVER EVER BEEN TO PRISON.
And human traffic in the USA alone has resulted in more than 1 MILLION people in the country. What? You don't think human traffic is for work? The majority of traffickers traffic workers rather than "girls for prostitution".
Okay, 10,000 boys a year in the USA are sexually abused.
Then why not advocate for them? Why not fight for their rights? Why not do something for them? Instead of poisoning the well. I mean the literal argument here is that "Boys are being sexually abused in prisons often by women. Ergo? We should let other women get raped outside!".
This is stupid. Not ONE FUCKING MRA to my knowledge has gone "Women get raped but I know that young men get raped and there are so many advocates for women there are none for men, so I am supporting them".
So here's the equation. Boys learn to be rapists by having been raped(even if only a fraction of them go on to enact their abuse), and we're turning a blind eye to women raping boys in juvenile facilities—better termed "boy rape camps"—and then we're ignoring, denying and minimizing female-on-male sexual abuse in order to prop up a morally bankrupt feminist empire built on the backs of rape victims—both victims of actual rapists and victims terrorized by rape hysteria itself.
No. Juvenille facilties are for children who commit "Crimes" and so need to be kept away from society till they are rehabilitated. You make it seem like they are just filled with children for the feminist rape machine rather than because "kids commit crimes".
We aren't turning a blind eye to those. We are turning a blind eye to jackasses who use the rapes of those young boys to try and claim that there exists a feminist empire.
How fucking moronic must you be to make these claims in a world where there are 50 MILLION (A population bigger than South Korea, the 25th Biggest Country) females aborted or murdered in just India alone and claim that "it's a feminist empire". Do you grasp how Alex Jonesesque you sound?
There is no feminist empire. If there was, then 90% of Rapes wouldn't happen to women and 99% of rapists wouldn't be men according to the USA's justice department for the year 2009. Those values would be reversed.
And then we normalize rape with posters that suggest rape is not the abnormal behavior of the emotionally damaged, but a manifestation of masculinity or male culture. Men will rape for trivial reasons because they saw a naked ankle, or porn or hear a rape joke. (Or are dope fiends or black or Jewish or…)
No. We point out it is a product of male privilege and development.
The Author claims that rape is a compulsion…
Every year in the USA 90,000 people report rapes. Roughly 900 of those are men. 99% of the people raped are raped by men. This means that 90,000 different incidents occur where a man has an uncontrollable urge to rape.
By normalizing rape, these posters do the opposite of what they intend. They empower rapists and disempower emotionally healthy men who would never rape. They promote a distorted, simplistic view of rape as an emergent property of maleness rather than an emergent property of sexual abuse.
That's like suggesting the sign that says "Don't Smoke" makes you smoke harder.
The problem here is that the author desperately wants a reason to exist for rape that isn't the fault of men and rather than realise it's due to a consistent social empowerment of men to get what they expect they would rather ignore the majority of rapes or claim it's a compulsion.
As for male victims of female rapists, they never see themselves in these posters. They are never acknowledged at all. This forces the problem of female perpetrated sexual abuse underground; in fact we could see the existence of male-perpetuated sexual abuse as a symptom of our society's absolute inability to recognize male victims and give them timely help.
Around 1% of all rapists are female. If women were raping people at an equal rate as men there would be a 50:50 split.
If 90,000 people in the USA are raped then 89,100 are raped by men and 900 by women.
Remind me again. Is 89,100 a bigger number than 900? The majority of rapists are men and therefore it makes sense to tailor any response to them in the same way that it makes sense to aim screening of breast cancer at women.
See? My gripe here is that there is no gay equivalent. 9000 men a year are raped and here too it's mainly by other men. 8910 are raped by men, 90 by women by the ratios provided. So again if we wanted to reduce rapes in men it would be straight up better and more productive to aim posters at men again.
So how do we stop rape?
We acknowledge female rapists. We acknowledge why boys grow up to be rapists. We provide services for male survivors of sexual abuse so they have a place to heal. Not just to stop the cycle of abuse but because men and boys who are sexual abuse survivors deserve as much compassion as women and girls. We kick the ideologs out of our institutions of healing because what matters is helping people, not perpetuating feminist pseudoscience.
In this entire article the people who did more to damage the reasons why "Men Rape" are not the feminists but the MRAs who declared rape as a compulsive act. An example of a compulsion is OCD. The person cannot control how they wash their hands or close a door. It must be closed in a certain way. A rape compulsion means that the person MUST rape.
If we acknowledge female rapists in the USA and eliminate all female rape entirely you would drop the total male rape rate by just 1%.
And to date there are no MRAs to my knowledge actively campaigning for better healthcare for men, better psychiatric care for men and better sexual health clinics for men. Do you want to know who is more likely to do that?
We start by telling the feminists to shut the fuck up.
Dear MRAs.
The statistics support me. The only way for you to deny those statistics is to create a grandiose feminist conspiracy.
And personally? I have done more for men than the average MRA. I have fought things that kill men and empowered them to break out of stupid stereotypes often perpetrated by MRAs. And rather than treating rape as a compulsion and men as nothing more than a bundle of rape reflexes, I have treated them as human beings who are in control of their actions.
And I know for a fact that men can stop raping by simply realising when their actions constitute rape and being self aware enough to realise it.
There is no 'rape culture' and if there is—if the idea of "rape culture" really is 'a culture which enables rape'–you better start backpedaling because it's looking like you're the biggest purveyors of it.
Ah yes.
No. A Voice For Me doesn't get a free ride. Not after they weighed into the Delhi Rape case on the side of the men who were excusing rape. As far as I am concerned courtesy of India's MASSIVE population and frankly astonishing rape and sexual harassment rates, A Voice for Men has thrown it's hat firmly in the side of the rapists.
And they don't care about the victims of sexual abuse. I don't see A Voice for Men sponsor any events to help "men". While I run healthcare clinics about proper diet, anti-smoking, anti-drinking, proper sexual health, proper health and safety, family planning and Diabetic/Hypertensive clinics. I have also tried my level best to fight the stigma of mental health issues in a country where psychiatric care is still associated with strait jackets. And when teaching about sexual health I have placed a massive onus on communication. Not only are women happier but men are too because women "enjoy" sex rather than being forced or coerced into it.
And from where I am standing the biggest protectors of rapists are A Voice for Men.

Vendakka pachadi -Ladys finger- recipe
Pachadi refers to a traditional South Indian side-dish. The definition of the word 'Pachadi' is different among different South Indian regions. While in Kerala and Tamilnadu, pachadi is a side-dish curry similar to the north Indian Raita, in Andhra Pradesh, pachadi is analogous to Indian pickles and is preserved for several months (See Andhra Pachadi). In Kerala and Tamilnadu states pachadi is eaten fresh and typically made of finely chopped and boiled vegetables with coconut, green or red chillies and tempered in oil with mustard seeds, ginger and curry leaves. Curd/yogurt based pachadi can be made of any vegetable, although cucumbers, squash, mango, bitter gourd or pineapple are common. Pachadi is commonly eaten with rice and a lentil curry.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Catholic Charities of Broome County and Clear Channel Radio are teaming up to provide Thanksgiving dinner for those in need.
The organizations are kicking off their annual Thanks for Giving Drive this Friday. An RV will be set up in front of the Vestal Wal-Mart for eight days. People can donate turkeys and other non-perishable food items.
Organizers say signups for Thanksgiving baskets have increased by 400 families this year. They're encouraging everyone to give back to the community.
"This is a way that our community can really give thanks for everything in their lives and really help people have a nice Thanksgiving dinner," said Lori Accardi, Catholic Charities of Broome County Executive Director.
Last year, the groups collected 3,300 turkeys. Their goal for this year is 3,500.

Virtual Internship, Mitinet Library Services, Verona WI
posted August 16, 2013 4:03 PM
Mitinet Library Services
421 S. Nine Mound Rd.
Verona, WI 53593
Supervisor: Tom Adamich -- firstname.lastname@example.com
Website: http://www.mitinet.com
Internship Description
Please note: This is a virtual internship.
It's a great time to be a metadata creation and management specialist. The Mitinet Cataloging Internship Program will be a key part of your journey to become a great one! Welcome to the Mitinet Cataloging Internship Program. It is our pleasure to be a key part of your metadata education as a Librarian. Mitinet will provide you with the Mitinet Education Program - a series of webinars, learning modules, and resources designed to help you understand the "how" as well as the "why" behind metadata creation, analysis, and management. You will then be asked to be a part of the following:
- Paid internship
- Most processes will eventually be automated (i.e. work from Dewey classification tables and drop-downs for subject headings - average 6-8 record)
- Participants work virtually; each one signs an agreement and has a 1099
- Must complete profile assessment ; may work as little or as much as you want; must commit to a certain total MARCs per week (obtained from a MARC record bank)
- Student will work with the Mitinet professional librarian to develop learning outcomes and write a position paper on a relevant cataloging / knowledge management topic (5-7 pages)
In the Mitinet Education Program, you will have access to MARC Magician. MARC Magician is Mitinet's professional cataloging tool. It's the most powerful global editing and cataloging tool in the world. MARC Magician is also the centerpiece of the The MARC Wizard Cataloging Suite. MARC Wizard is a bundle of tools and data services to help librarians create, manage, and customize metadata - using tools to clean, standardize, and validate metadata for accuracy. MARC Wizard also provides access to important education-based data sets. We also give you a screening tool for any existing metadata to keep your database clean and consistent - statistically proven to increase library materials and information access. The MARC Wizard Cataloging Suite is designed to be your guide to making metadata meaningful... for lifelong learning! Established in 1989, Mitinet, Inc. is a known innovator in the area of MARC metadata creation and database optimization. Our founding legacy began with the world's first integrated library system- the RLN system at Stanford University and continued through the years as a key part of notable metadata project interactions with premier institutions such as the Queens Borough Public Library, Beijing Library, and Oxford University, to name a few.
From our beginnings, Mitinet, in conjunction with the state of Wisconsin Department of Education developed the first ever, PC-based MARC cataloging tools (MARC Magician) for the focused purpose of empowering Wisconsin k-12 school librarians to create electronic records and manage data within the then new automated library environment. Today, Mitinet is the de facto MARC metadata database expert for libraries of all types and specializes in serving the needs of K-12 school libraries. Mitinet optimizes and enhances more K-12 school library databases than all other library material metadata vendors combined. Using an analogy, "If the best made automobile's engine is running on dirty oil and using poor quality fuel, the engine won't perform to its potential. Similarly, the metadata in a library automation system is like that oil and fuel running the automobile engine. Without high quality metadata, the library automation system won't function to its full potential - as the main tool to retrieve useful, relevant materials in a library's collection or virtual library database. Thus, a library's collection/database is only as good as its metadata.
Learn how the Mitinet Cataloging Internship Program will prepare you to serve your future enterprise as its metadata creation and management specialist! Learn how to:
- Manage data workflows and production
- Leverage knowledge management skills
- Provide granular data points to maximize library asset use and to assist in meeting curriculum objectives
Desired Qualifications
Evidence of completion or current enrollment in cataloging coursework and demonstrated ability in classification and subject analysis of K-12 materials (e-books, etc.)
Preference given to candidates who demonstrate enrollment in or completion of any of the following Simmons GSLIS courses: LIS 416 Introduction to Cataloging and Classification; LIS 417 Advanced Subject Cataloging and Classification; LIS 445 Metadata; LIS 469 XML
Participants may earn from $3.00 - $5.00 / record (target rates) and be eligible for bonus

Coliseum Cinema
310 Main Avenue,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 6 comments
For many years, the Coliseum was operated by a fellow named Dude Smith. That's how he was styled in many issues of Boxoffice Magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s. Other issues give his formal name of Claude H. Smith, but I prefer Dude.
Dude bought the Coliseum and another Tillamook house, the Castle, in the mid-1930s. In 1952, he opened a drive-in nearby called the Tillavue. At some time he added the Columbia Theatre at St. Helens, Oregon, to his holdings. He operated all these theaters until his death, at which time (according to Boxoffice's issue of March 4, 1963) they were taken over by the administrator of his estate, a Mr. Gus Elbow Jr.
A small photo of Dude Smith accompanies a thumbnail biography of him, commemorating his twenty years in movie exhibition, published in the March 17, 1945, issue of Boxoffice. The last line of the biography reads "His hobby is exploitation."
I think Dude deserves a plaque in the Coliseum's lobby.
There are some older photos on the pstos page:
I saw and photographed this theatre's exterior last week. One of the young women who work there apologized that the COLISEUM name was not lit up on one side of the marquee. She said that the firm who built and maintained the present marquee was from Portland and had gone out of business, and the theatre staff had yet to find a new neon contractor to take care of the problem.
We were let into the tiny and plain lobby. There is a photo on the lobby wall of the theatre exterior when new, which shows a vertical sign to the right of the facade. Below this is a little written tribute to the theatre, written by a longtime patron.
Don: Is there any change of ownership?
My image of the COLISEUM in Tillamook www.flickr.com/photos/lastpictureshow/250732456
I have been in that theatre. What is their schedule now? Do they do movies, live theatre?

I followed the directions exactly but it made enough filling for an extra 4 enchiladas, so I made 12 enchiladas instead of 8. That's ok since we will enjoy them for leftovers without hesitation! But maybe instead of using the 6 inch tortillas next time I will use the burrito size instead so we don't have as many.

Before I learned this tip I can't tell you how many half used cans I threw away.

Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.

One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.

Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.

Well, that's probably not true. But in my house, it's a salad that only I would like. 95% of the ingredients are basically detested by my husband and daughter... it's got lettuce "that stabs you", beets and, the worst offender, a runny egg. Luckily, my lunches are my own so when I saw the fris?ɬ©e nest in The Southern Table carefully cupping a delightfully runny poached egg, I popped out to get my own fixings. Frank Stitt's (yes, I am addicted to this cookbook for this week... I promise I'll move on to something else on Monday) version had a rich red-wine vinaigrette, but when I was at the market, I passed by some golden beets and couldn't pass them up. I love beets. I am definitely the only one in my home that does, but every time I eat them, I think that I could eat them every day. Maybe the beet is why I got so hooked on Tom Robbin's novels, with his epic poetry on the joys of beets:

Topic Outline
The concepts of informed consent and confidentiality are complex when the patient is an adolescent. This is particularly true when the needs and wishes of the adolescent conflict with the opinions and preferences of the parents [1].
The laws governing consent and confidentiality in adolescent health care vary from country to country; within the United States, they vary from state to state. The information in this topic focuses on confidentiality in adolescent health care in the United States.
Clinicians who treat adolescents must be aware of the federal and state laws related to adolescent consent and confidentiality. The circumstances in which adolescents may consent for their own care and confidentiality vary from state to state depending upon the adolescent's status as a minor or adult, the service involved, and the provider's level of concern regarding harm to the patient or others.
The basic laws governing consent for health care are state laws; clinicians who treat adolescents need to be aware of the laws in their state. Confidentiality provisions are found in both state and federal law. Clinicians who treat adolescents also must be aware that federal and state funding source regulations may contain specific requirements related to confidentiality for particular services. They should be familiar with the consent and confidentiality policies of the facility in which they practice, and they must be aware of potential ways in which confidentiality can be compromised (eg, record keeping, billing statements, insurance).
This topic will provide an overview of confidentiality in adolescent health care, including definitions, exceptions to confidentiality, and potential threats to confidentiality. Determination of minor status and how it relates to consent for specific medical services, which is closely linked to confidentiality, are discussed separately. (See "Consent in adolescent health care".)

Serious burns can lead to infection and potentially fatal toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Once an infection sets in, it is vital to begin treatment quickly to avoid or minimize a transition to TSS. The problem is, removing dressings to check for infection can be painful, slow the healing process and increase the chance of scarring. A prototype dressing developed by chemists at the University of Bath in the UK alerts doctors to the first signs of infection by glowing under ultraviolet (UV) light. Read More
Students at the University of Warwick have announced their intention to build a human-powered submarine to compete at that highlight of the human-powered submarine events calendar, the European International Submarine Races in 2014. The team of engineering students hopes that their vessel, already named HPS Shakespeare, will beat the current speed record for a single-seat human-powered sub. Read More
Vector-based video could mean no more pixels
Unlike traditional bitmap graphics, which are made up of an array of pixels, vector graphics consist of lines, curves and shapes that are based on geometric formulas. Not only do they take up far less memory than bitmaps, but sections of them can also be enlarged without any loss of resolution. Currently, however, vector graphics aren't well-suited to photorealistic applications, such as video. That may be about to change, though, as researchers from the UK's University of Bath have developed a new program that is said to overcome such limitations – the scientists believe that the technology could make pixels obsolete within five years.
