The months of news articles and headlines reading, "Expected to call a special session this Spring," finally reads, "Has called a special session." The wait is over. On April 20, legislators reported to Austin for a special session on public school finance, other education issues, and property tax relief. (The Governor's Proclamation for the special session may be viewed on the Internet at: http://www.house.state.tx.us/resources/pro78s4gov.pdf) The special session can last up to 30 days, and the Governor has stated that he will call additional sessions if necessary. While the Governor has released his plan for education and tax reform, there is no consensus yet on a plan in the Texas Legislature. Both the House and Senate education committees are hard at work holding public hearings to review the Governor's plan, hear from the public, and build agreement on a legislative plan. With the pressure of a May 19 ending date for the special session, I am hopeful that the Legislature will fashion a school finance plan that properly funds education, increases the state's share of education funding, repeals the Robin Hood share-the-wealth system, reduces the property tax burden on Texans, and promotes excellence in our public schools. Stay tuned.
You can follow the process and view hearings on-line at the following websites: www.house.state.tx.us/committees/415.htm, www.capitol.state.tx.us/psf/capitol.htm, and www.senate.state.tx.us/75r/Senate/commit/c530/c530.htm.
In other news, on April 19, the Lieutenant Governor announced changes in Senate committee assignments for the interim. I am pleased to report that I am now Vice Chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee and a member of the Senate Business and Commerce, Government Organization, and International Relations and Trade committees. The House Speaker has also made changes in committee assignments. Press releases outlining the new House and Senate committee assignments can be found on the Internet at: www.house.state.tx.us/news/release.php?id=782 and www.senate.state.tx.us/75r/ltgov/pr04/p041904a.htm.
And finally, I have filed a constitutional amendment for consideration in this special session to require record votes in the Texas Legislature. The amendment is Senate Joint Resolution 5 and can be viewed on the Internet at: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlo/legislation/bill_status.htm, then select "78th Legislature 4th Called Session - 2004", enter SJR 5 in "Bill Number" and press "Submit". While the primary objective of the special session is education, I feel that it is also the perfect time to emphasize the need for recording votes in the Texas House and Senate.
In 1994, citizens and professionals envisioned comprehensive access to health and human services information for Texans beginning with a human point of contact. The objective was to improve the flow of information between state and community services. The outcome of this vision is the 2-1-1 Texas Program.
The 2-1-1 Texas service is the new abbreviated dialing code for free information and referrals to health and human services and community organizations. It is available in English and Spanish and serves as the number to call for information about community organizations. The 2-1-1 service links individuals and families to critical health and human services provided by nonprofit organizations and government agencies in their own community. Just like 9-1-1 has become the universal number to call in emergency situations, 2-1-1 is now the number to call when seeking assistance for social services, health care, and other community resources.
The 2-1-1 program was created because of the difficulties Texans were having in knowing who to contact when they needed assistance due to the ever-growing complex maze of community service agencies and programs that are available. By making information about services much easier to find, 2-1-1 will promote self-sufficiency and encourage people to act before their situations become life threatening.
The 2-1-1 service is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is available to anyone in Texas. Even though 2-1-1 is a statewide program, it is divided into regions. For example, when you call 2-1-1 from the Dallas area, your call will be directed to the region that is familiar with the resources serving the Metroplex. The 2-1-1 service receives calls regarding health services; food; clothing; housing; government resources; education; employment; counseling; support groups; recreation; community groups; services for children, youth, families and older adults; and many more services. The 2-1-1 Texas system is also an important statewide tool for information sharing and resource mobilization during local, statewide, or national disasters. You can visit www.helpintexas.com to learn more about the 2-1-1 Texas Program for the Metroplex region.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has recently introduced the Texas State Park Pass. The Texas State Park Pass is an annual pass that will offer many special benefits to its members. As a member, you and your guests can enjoy unlimited visits to 120 state parks and state historic sites without paying the daily entrance fee. At a cost of $60 for a one-card membership, the pass is valid for twelve months from the time of purchase. This membership fee helps to support the care and operations of Texas' state parks and historic sites.
For those of you who have not had an opportunity in the past to enjoy our many state parks, I encourage you and your family or friends to take the time this spring or summer and visit at least one park. The State of Texas has been very blessed with its diverse landscape. Whatever your preference in geography, I can assure you that there is a state park that you will enjoy.
Following is a summary of three parks close to the Dallas area:
For additional information regarding the Texas Park Pass, other state parks, or the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, visit www.tpwd.state.tx.us. Happy trails!
In closing, I urge you to closely follow the education special session and let me and our state leaders know what you think about the plans being considered. As always, if I or my staff can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

State Senator - District 16

Bandobras "Bullroarer" TookTalk0
this wiki
Bandobras Took
Biographical information
Physical description
Bandobras "Bullroarer" Took was a Hobbit of the Shire and the Hero of the Battle of Greenfields.
Bandobras Took was the second son[1] of Thain Isumbras III, and the Great-Grand-Uncle of Bilbo Baggins. He was born in TA 2704. Bandobras is noteworthy among Hobbits for his exceptionally large stature, being four feet, five inches tall and able to ride a horse. He was the tallest Hobbit on record until the Ent-draughts taken by Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took made them the tallest Hobbits in the history of the Shire.[2]
Bandobras also gained fame for leading the Hobbits at the Battle of Greenfields in TA 2747 when goblins from Mount Gram in the Misty Mountains invaded the Northfarthing. According to the narrative in the book The Hobbit, during the battle Bandobras charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram and with a wooden club knocked the goblin chieftain Golfimbul's head clean off, sending it sailing a hundred yards through the air and down a rabbit-hole, thus (according to Tolkien's novel The Hobbit) winning the battle and inventing the game of Golf at the same time.
Bandobras was given the nickname "Bullroarer". From him were descended the North-tooks of Long Cleeve, where Peregrin Took's wife Diamond of Long Cleeve came from. Bandobras died in TA 2806.
Portrayal in adaptationsEdit
Peter Jackson's The HobbitEdit
In Peter Jackson's film adaptation The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Bilbo Baggins has a portrait of him in Bag End. Gandalf speaks briefly about him and how he invented golf, though it is implied that some historical embellishment may be at work.

ATLANTA — This year, for the first time in their 66-year history, Macy's at Lenox Square Mall has opted for a more "ecologically friendly and reusable tree" as their Annual Great Tree.
In a release from Macy's on Tuesday, the retailer said it would begin the new tradition which is "consistent with the company's commitment to sustainable business practices."
MORE: Macy's Great Tree comes down… literally
The new tree was manufactured by Atlanta-based company, Christmas Lights, Etc. According to the release, the tree stands about 56 feet tall and will be decorated by 45,000 white and multi-color sparkling LED twinkle lights, around eight miles of light strings and a giant star.
RELATED: Great Tree planted by metro woman's last husband
Also, this year, as opposed to sitting atop the Macy's Men's Store entrance, the tree will be relocated to the North Macy's parking lot allowing visitors a "more intimate experience" with the tree.
"For more than six decades, generations of families have shared in the beloved tradition of the Great Tree Lighting on Thanksgiving night," said Michael Krauter, Macy's president and regional director of stores. And they expect this year to be no different.
The store will continue with their annual Great Tree Lighting event which will still be held in the Lenox Square Mall parking lot from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving Night.
The Great Tree will be on display from Thursday, Nov. 28 through Jan. 1, 2014.
During the 2011 holiday season, the first Macy's Great Tree snapped while being lifted onto the rooftop, and the store had to go with a Plan B tree.
And after the 2012 holiday season, the boom broke on the crane lowering the tree Wednesday morning, landing the 60-foot Georgia White Pine on its side smashing into the roof and puncturing a hole in the roof above the Men's Store.

In the Atlantic, a GOPbot on the Paulians, as the Maine delegates left the hall (copying Ron):
Claude Pope, a 52-year-old North Carolinian in a crisp blue seersucker suit, strolled to the edge of the arena patio and took out a pack of Winstons. "I think it's a childish, immature, sophomoric stunt," he drawled. "If you're going to be a member of a party — we have our battles, we have our primaries, and then it's over and everyone needs to come together and support a nominee."
Then again, Pope reflected, the Paul supporters don't seem that interested in being Republican Party members. "I really think they're libertarians," he said.
Right you are, Claude. One party getting to loot and torture and cage and kill as versus the other party is not a Paulian virtue. Read the article.10:21 am on August 30, 2012 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

Thanks: 32
Thanked 6 Times in 5 Posts
in the normal case of a shared server, there would be no A entry for *, right?
so there is step number 5, which is to create an A entry in the domain's DNS zone, in the same manner as for www and mail.
Thank you for your help.
I think I got it covered now!
Final procedure for anybody searching in future the same thing on the forum :
1- create a site standard normally, domain.com
2- inside that site, create a /subdomain/ subfolder
3- create a new site on ISPC, with domain subdomain.domain.com
4- setup an "L" redirect to folder /subdomain/ (typed like that exactly)
5- create an A-type record associating subdomain to the IP in the DNS Zone of domain, in the same manner as mail or www.

1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Question: How much oil does it hold?
Answer #1pushrod February 27, 2013, 17:43Master
Did you forget which engine you have too? Either way 4 or 6 cly, put in 4 qts. start engine be sure oil light goes off or gauge showes pressure, turn off engine and check dip stick, top off as needed, prob. another 1/2 qt. or so.
So get 5 qts. with filter change! Now, lube shop is cheaper than doing it yourself and less mess. No old oil to dispose of either! Up to you.
Answer #2csubak30 February 28, 2013, 05:18Master
Answer #1 is good.....just don't go to jiffy lube.
Replypushrod, February 28, 2013, 05:36Master
I agree, was thinking walmart, i dont see how they do it as cheap as they do. Cant do it myself for that even with special deals! I guess some folks just like doing it themselves, nothing wrong with that either.

I got a bit of a The Shining (stylistically crossed with Gods Will Be Watching) vibe in this trailer for Uncanny Valley, but that quickly jumped to more overtly terrifying fare.
Still impressive when a pixel art, 2D game can do scary -- like Lone Survivor. Nice sound design helps that cause. Uncanny Valley is up on Indiegogo right now. I think it looks promising. And that bit of levity at the end of the trailer was cute.view full story + comments
So, last year was Madden NFL 25, and this year is Madden NFL 15? I can't wait for Madden NFL -5. Integers are fun, kids. Anyway, here's a self-important trailer. Reminder: this is a game.

Coming to PS3, 360, Wii U, and 3DS this fall, a sequel to "an emotionless venture that's devoid of any soul or effort." I guess Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, which is based on the new Pac-Man television series, did well enough to warrant a sequel.

The 2 on 2 Gundam vs. Gundam series is as big in Japan as that full-scale Gundam model in Tokyo. It's also big on the Destructoid Forum, in that one Gundam fan keeps explaining how it's the best fighting game and tries to get people to import it. I'm more of a Gundam Battle Assault 2 kind of guy.
Anyway, Namco is taking the format of Gundam Vs. and bringing it west with a new IP, the free-to-play Rise of Incarnates. Because the 2 on 2 format is a bit different for Western audiences, Namco went with a F2P model to build a player base.
And you know it's been developed specifically for the west for several reasons. First, the initial stage being shown off is New York, with the post-apocalyptic staple crumbling Statue of Liberty. Second, there is a blond character with big hair. He looks just like us, my fellow Americans, with his rock and roll nonchalance and red leather jacket.
Though he turns into a monster and there is a mad scientist who rides on a tidal wave of corpses.view full story + comments
Hot on the heels of last year's GRID 2, Codemasters is coming back with GRID Autosport, a "celebration of pure, unadulterated motorsport." This is going to be less of an arcade racer than GRID 2 ended up being, but without drifting too far into stodgy simulation either.
We'll see if the middle ground pleases anyone on June 24. It did please me, though, despite the insurmountable damage I did to all of the cars. I am a much better driver in real life.view full story + comments
Press Play proved it can make a platformer with Max and the Curse of Brotherhood, but it wasn't meant to test your muscle memory and invite speed running. It was a colorful adventure with some charm and plenty of stopping for to draw with the magic marker.
With it's newest project, Press Play is dialing up the pure platforming with a minimalist design and some nasty platforming hazards. Nasty meaning cool. The point is I got into a heck of a comfortable groove with Project Totem and maybe you should too when it comes out.view full story + comments

Every time I see a razor blade in person I have to pick it up. Those things are dangerous and shouldn't be left lying about. Kids could put them in their mouth or pigeons could weaponize them. Maybe mobsters will smuggle them into prisons to slice their garlic.
The same thing happens when I see a Razer Blade. I try to keep tech fetishization to a minimum, but seeing a sort of pretty, svelte laptop playing Sleeping Dogs at 3200 x 1800, I can't help but be a little bit impressed. I pick up the Blade just to make sure it isn't attached to the desk it's on with secret desk innards powering it. Nope, it's a for-real laptop, lighter and thinner than what I'm writing on now and I can barely run Portal.

School Breakfast Bill Signed Into Law By Governor Perry
HOUSTON, May 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Food insecurity continues to be a growing problem for Texas families, with the state ranking eighth in food hardship in the country. Roughly three million public school students in Texas live at or below 185% of the federal poverty level, and therefore qualify for federally funded free or reduced price school meals. SB 376, authored by Eddie Lucio (House sponsor, Eddie Rodriguez), expands the current breakfast program, and was signed into law on Friday, May 24 th by Governor Rick Perry.
Statewide, there are 2,811 schools with eighty percent or more of their student population eligible for free or reduced price meals. With many of these schools already offering breakfast to all students, approximately 1,000 campuses will be impacted by SB 376. This means over one million more students will now have the opportunity to start their day with a nutritious breakfast. This bill will have no fiscal impact on the state. The schools costs are typically offset by future reimbursement rates.
"This is a huge victory for Texas children, and we should all applaud Governor Perry for signing into law one of this year's most important pieces of legislation," said Bob Sanborn, president and CEO of CHILDREN AT RISK. "I'm extremely proud of CHILDREN AT RISK, as we led a collaborative effort in getting this bill signed into law."
With last year's state school breakfast program participation rate of 59.7%, Texas received a reimbursement of $460,290,681. With increased student participation, this number will potentially rise to $600 million. In addition to being cost neutral to schools at the 80% threshold, SB 376 is good for Texas, and its children. A few of the many benefits associated with the school breakfast program include:
- Increased attentiveness and academic performance
- Reducing hunger and improving health
- Reduced school nurse visits, and disciplinary problems
- Supports the agriculture and dairy Industries
- Provides opportunities for innovative public-private partnerships

Anthony Powell's interpretation of Beethoven is the soul of the production. As accomplished an actor as he is a director (Someone Who'll Watch Over Me, The Last Yankee), Powell's magnificently crafted craziness includes within it a profoundly realized spirituality--a felt, rather than explained, relation to Ultimate Meaning. Lumbering about the stage like a disgruntled bear, his head shaved, Powell's Beethoven argues hilariously with his demons and calls up the strains of his music in answer to life's worst horrors.
There are moments in the play that irritated me to loathing--I certainly understood why some people left angry. Toward the last twenty minutes, the show began to feel excessive even to me. But that's what the evening is partly about--the sharp contrasts in emotion the actors are able to elicit from the audience. The good news is, it's 98 percent ennui-free. And though it infuriates, it also exhilarates. The "Ode to Joy" never felt more relevant.

How to Help Haitian Earthquake Victims
More than half of Haitis population lived in abject poverty even before yesterdays powerful earthquake destroyed thousands of homes and killed as many as 100,000 people. The tiny country of 9 million produces only about a quarter of its own food, importing the rest. Less than 20 percent of Haitians even have refrigerators and many of those are often underutilized because electricity is so unreliable. As a result, people have to buy their food on a daily basis and what little they buy is determined by what they can afford, not by quality or preference. Outbreaks of food-borne diseases such as Hepatitis A and other bacterial infections are high. Food, already a serious problem in Haiti, is now a huge concern.
Haiti was already in dire straits and is now in even worse shape than before but you can help. Numerous organizations are working to pull together assistance for the victims of the most powerful earthquake to strike the Caribbean in 200 years.
- Action Against Hunger
- American Jewish World Service
- American Red Cross
- Catholic Relief Services
- Food for the Poor
- Unicef
Fortunately, many, many people are making donations to these and other organizations. Unfortunately, these organizations are sometimes being overwhelmed with calls from those wanting to help. Be patient.

The quality of your
company's writing—from C-suite memorandums to the company website—plays
a key role in determining your success. That's why good writing is so important. It shows everyone from staff
members to potential customers that you pay as much attention to the
"little things"—like writing—as you do to the quality of your products
and services. And that can make the difference between success and
failure in today's competitive landscape.
Let Trimount take all your company's written materials to the next level. Contact us today for
a free consultation.
Trimount's goal is to provide our clients with
the highest-quality writing and design (see Design Services).
We begin by analyzing your current communications, developing a detailed proposal for improvement. Building on that proposal, we
create a
strategic concept to align your messaging with your company's
brand. Once you've
approved the concept, we produce the actual
text—as well as any layouts which may be needed (we know from years
of experience how important it is that the text and design work
together seamlessly).
The production stage completes the process. We
send out direct mail, tweet your message, post materials to your company's website, etc.
We also work closely with our printing company
to be sure the final product meets the exacting standards we set for
our clients' printed materials whenever
hard copies are required.

Invitation to a Perfectly Boring Party: Microsoft, Cisco
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The common theme among growing technology companies such as Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) is precisely that -- they are growing. However with Wall Street's insatiable appetite for growth, any success demonstrated by these companies only perpetuates higher growth expectations, regardless of how ridiculous the expectations become. It's a never-ending cycle.
Two companies that have been cast by the wayside due to lack of growth appeal are software giant Microsoft (MSFT) and the networking equipment maker Cisco (CSCO). I have begun to wonder whether should we still categorize them as "technology companies" because it has become evident that Wall Street doesn't.
Although I don't own either company at this point, I have spent a significant portion of the first half of the year defending them as if I did. I have been an unabashed apologist whenever I hear these companies are unable to grow. True, the '90s are long gone. But that does not mean either company has reached the point of insignificance.
More than half of the Internet is powered by Cisco's equipment. Microsoft remains the dominant PC operating system with both consumers and the enterprise market. Yet, in the minds of many investors these two are dead. In fact, real life death experiences such as what is happening at Research in Motion (RIMM) and Nokia (NOK) often generate more interest.Microsoft's stock traded relatively flat over the past decade; Wall Street does not care much for the company's management, as it has done little to inspire confidence and produce the rate of growth that investors crave. To some extent, the same can be said about Cisco and the criticism that its CEO, John Chambers, has had to endure over the past several years. Fairly or unfairly, both companies are now more often regarded for what they are not instead of being credited for what they are. Meanwhile Cisco continues to churn out one good quarter after another -- essentially five consecutive earnings beats where most recently it reported Q3 earnings of 48 cents per share. The company reported net income of $2.2 billion or 40 cents per share on revenue of $11.6 billion -- topping net income of $1.8 billion or 33 cents per share for the same period last year. So what exactly is the problem? It's a case of "relative analysis."

The Curl
In football lingo, a curl is a spin on a football, which makes it swerve when it's kicked.
Honey bees can also "curl."
I took this photo today of a lone bee curled on purple sage. The worker bee was gathering nectar in the summerlike weather.
"That's the same position a bee has to get in to sting you," observed UC Davis apiculturist Eric Mussen. "She can't lie flat to sting. She curls up and stings."
Like a comma.
A death "sentence" for her; a little pain for the victim.
The curl
A Sad Photo
It's a sad photo.
The antenna of a honey bee pokes out of an abandoned hive. Victim of colony collapse disorder (CCD)? Perhaps.
Everytime I look at the bent antenna, I think of a plea for help. Help me! Help me! Please help me! This bee should have been nectaring flowers or gathering pollen.
This hive once belonged to entomologists Robert and Lynn Kimsey of UC Davis. She's the director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and chairs the Department of Entomology. He's the sole forensic entomologist in the department.
CCD was one of the topics at the eighth annual international conference of the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC), held Oct. 22-24 in Washington, D.C.
The participants--farmers, scientists, and environmental advocates--agreed that we need to find ways to increase public awareness of pollinators. Pollinator Partnership chair Robert Lang described the loss of pollinators as "a potential health crisis for the planet."
Scores of beekeepers have witnessed a crisis in an individual bee hive.
Like the one below.

Dracula in the Garden
The red-pigmented white pitcher plant we purchased at the UC Davis Arboretum Plant Faire looks like a flamboyant coral reef. Like a hat askew, its ruffled "lid" hangs over the trumpet-shaped "pitcher." The pitcher is actually a long, hollow tubular leaf.
But looks are deceiving.
Sarracenia leucophylla is a carnivorous plant. It draws insects and then devours them. In the few weeks we've had it, it's gobbled blow flies, snagged tachinid (parasitic) flies, and horrors, it ate two of our beloved honey bees.
I do not think I like this plant.
Our bee friendly garden is no longer friendly. There's war in our garden of peace. We have a weapon of mass destruction right in our own backyard. And you think Dracula is scary on Halloween!
Ernesto Sandoval, curator of the
"Ah, yes, the horrors of indiscriminate insectivity!" he says. "The Sarracenia, especially S. leucophylla are really good indicators of the relative abundance of insects and unfortunately, even honey bees are convinced to visit the flower-mimicking leaves."
Sandoval says Sarracenia grow up and down the east coast of North America from
"The well-known Venus Fly Trap is native to
Meanwhile, I think I heard the plant burb.

Trapped Tachinid Fly
Pull up a lawn chair and watch the honey bees.
They're buzzing around the Russian sage, gathering nectar. So focused are they that they don't seeem to mind the photographer sharing their space. So dedicated. So committed. So industrious.
Wait, a honey bee is wearing a new hat. Wait, another is playing peek-a-bee.
It's a great time to be in the garden.
My new hat
Queen of the Crops
We often hear of "cream of the crop," but the honey bee is the "queen of the crops."
Honey bees are crucial to
Can you name a fruit or nut crop that absolutely depends on honey-bee pollination? So much so that no commerical crop could be produced without cross pollination? No, not tomatoes! Here are some: almond, avocado, apple (most varieties), apricot (some varieties), cherry, chestnut, lychee fruit, peach (some varieties), pear (some varieties) plum, pomegranate, prune, sunflower, tangelo and tangerine.
Vegetable seed crops dependent on honey-bee pollination? Among them: asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, Chinese cabbage, collards, cucumber, kale, kohlrabi, leek, melon, mustard, onion, parsley, parsnip, pumpkin, radish rutabaga, squash, turnip and watermelon.

Is Your Dog or Cat Depressed?
People arent the only ones who can get depressed. Pets can, too especially if theyve lost a human or animal companion or experienced a change in environment. So how do you know if your four-legged friend is feeling down? Put the following nine signs on your radar and talk to your vet if you notice any of them. Much like with humans, there are numerous options for treating depression in pets, and the sooner you recognize the signs, the sooner your pet can start getting treatment.
By Karen Asp
Increased Vocalization
If your pet is crying or whining more than normal, consider depression as a possible diagnosis. Its possible they may be trying to communicate, Nardi says.

The internet's abuzz as President Obama makes his long anticipated across the northern border. Environmentalists have been knawing their knuckles wondering how he's going to handle the issue of tar sands--which Prime Minister Harper is certain to bring up. There's no question that tar sands extraction is a climate catastrophe, or as some would say, "the biggest global warming crime ever seen." Over on Switchboard, NRDC has a whole host of climate and energy experts explaining just how dangerous these tar sands are from a greenhouse gas perspective. And Obama seems to get it, saying in an interview with the CBC on Tuesday:
What we know is that oil sands creates a big carbon footprint. So the dilemma that Canada faces, the United States faces, and China and the entire world faces is how do we obtain the energy that we need to grow our economies in a way that is not rapidly accelerating climate change.
He hedges, though, when following up, and starts talking about the potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to make mining the tar sands possible. "I think that it is possible for us to create a set of clean energy mechanisms that allow us to use things not just like oil sands, but also coal."
Let's gloss over the points that Obama has fallen for the "oil sands" greenwashing PR rhetoric and that CCS won't do squat about any carbon emissions that'll occur once the bitumin is processed and turned into oil, fated to be burned in America's furnaces and cars.
Lost in all the climate talk is the fact that, on the local level, tar sands extraction and processing is one of the greatest social and ecological injustices of our time. Few realize how ugly things have gotten in northen Alberta. Andrew Nikiforuk, writing for OnEarth last year, explained tar sands development like this:
Described by the United Nations Environment Program as one of the world's top "environmental hot spots," the project will eventually transform a boreal forest the size of Florida into an industrial sacrifice zone complete with lakes full of toxic waste and man-made volcanoes spewing out clouds of greenhouse gases.
The impact on local communities, mostly First Nation tribes like the Cree, is nothing short of appalling. Visiting a Cree village and speaking to one of its Elders, Nikiforuk writes, "MacDonald doesn't have much faith that industry or government will reclaim the toxic ponds that surround his home. About 90 percent of the water withdrawn from the Athabasca River for mining ends up behind massive tailings dams or dykes...All these ponds contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naphthenic acids, heavy metals, salts, and bitumen." The tailings are leaking into the Athabasca too, poisoning the indiginous fish that locals have long relied on for food.
In some heartbreaking interviews with Canadian tar sands activist MacDonald Stainsby, local residents reveal that cancer rates in their communities are up, wildlife is disappearing, and river levels are dropping constantly. Here's the third in a five part series:
So disturbed by ruin of the region, Alberta's Catholic bishop has written a lengthy letter arguing that the tar sands development "cannot be morally justified."
The local impact is undercovered, and more people should be able see for themselves how grave this social and ecological injust is. Read Nikiforuk's piece, or check out the absolutely astonishing 15-part VBS series "Toxic Alberta," which covers the tar sands from every angle. (Somehow, in this wild media world, Vice is producing better in-depth--and engaging-- environmental journalism than nearly anyone else.)
The climate argument against tar sands development should be enough. But if more people understood the conditions on the ground--and in the towns--in Northern Alberta, the outcry against this dirtiest of fossil fuels would be a lot harder to ignore.

I sent the exact same details via email, reiterating that I understand I am still under contract technically, but that I have moved to Florida legally and permanently, and I am asking for special consideration for my phone to be unlocked. This is *exactly* what the agents were told over the telephone when initially trying to have my phone unlocked, and they refused.
A couple of hours later, I was contacted by another representative, saying that she would look into the issue, seeing if an exception could be made in my case because of the special circumstances. If this was possible, I would have to still pay the $75 unlock fee. I emailed back saying thank you very much for looking into it, and the $75 would not be a problem.
The following day, I received a call saying that Bell was ready to unlock my phone. The representative had me give her my IMEI number, and emailed me some directions for how to reset my phone.
I am happy to announce that I *finally* have my cell phone working again. I am very grateful that I was able to have my issues worked out thanks to my blog and to twitter, and I am glad that Bell does employ a staff on twitter to resolve issues like this. However, I do think it's disappointing that the only way to receive this consideration is to have a blog and have contacts who will share the post to get the word out there. The situation itself did not change in between the phone calls and the blog post - it was just the visibility.
What are your thoughts on situations like this? If you are a blogger, do you use your blog as a tool resolve customer service issues that aren't resolved in a less public forum?

The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) announced a change to several of AFIA's third-party certification programs. Starting in October, the administration of the Safe Feed/Safe Food Certification Program, Pet Food Manufacturing Facility Certification Program and Pet Food Ingredient Facility Certification Program will be handled by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI).
AFIA and SQFI signed a joint program implementation and marketing agreement to bring these three AFIA third-party certification programs into the SQFI family of programs. The agreement will bring a number of benefits to program participants, including open access for the choice of multiple, approved certification bodies for an audit; exceeding independent credibility criteria required by consumers and regulators globally; use of SQFI's certification program to help reduce multi-program inconsistencies and associated costs of multiple audits; and making AFIA programs the "feed segment" of the total food chain.
Public meetings invited comments and provided updates
Committees discussed key proposals such as a possible shift in the oversight of animal feeds
The intent was to educate regulators and industry about the Model Pet Food Regulations
The new US food safety legislation will also affect regulation of petfood
Processors should carefully develop, validate and implement an effective kill step to support production of pathogen-free petfoods

Who We Are...
Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR) was formed in 1985 as a non-profit, grassroots conservation organization.
We are citizens from all walks of life, whose common goal is to maintain the water quality, living resources, and scenic beauty of the Rappahannock River and its tributaries. We work with a wide variety of stakeholders, from local governments to elementary students, to educate about the river and to advocate for actions and policies that will protect and restore the values that make the Rappahannock River so special.
We are led by a volunteer Executive Committee and a professional staff that includes environmental scientists, educators, and a working waterman.
We promote environmentally responsible planning through active participation in the civic process. Our staff provide technical support to local governments, developers, and teachers in areas of special expertise, including Low Impact Development (LID) codes and ordinances, Watershed Planning, Water Quality Monitoring, Design and Installation of LID practices, oyster restoration, living shorelines, and stream corridor restoration..
For more information on the details of our programs, browse our website, or download our most recent Strategic Plan, below.
Our Mission...
To be the Voice and Active Force for a healthy and scenic Rappahannock River.
In 2008, we undertook a strategic planning effort to guide our organization in reaching our vision for a healthy and scenic river. Scroll down below to Organizational Documents to download our Strategic Plan.
Our Vision...
A Rappahannock River…that is clean and safe for fish consumption and recreation from its H2waters to its confluence with the Chesapeake.
A Rappahannock River… that supports a healthy and diverse aquatic ecosystem, with submerged grasses, oysters, crabs and other species returned to their historic levels and productivity.
A Rappahannock River Watershed… where land use and runoff is managed to protect and enhance our riparian habitats, downstream waters, scenic viewsheds and historical resources.
A Rappahannock Community… where the citizens and local governments are educated about river stewardship, where they take a sense of personal stewardship over the river resource, and where they take action in their own backyards and communities to protect it.
Our Approach...
In pursuing our river stewardship mission, FOR seeks to be a "wise carpenter" by utilizing the full complement of river protection tools. Wise carpenters rely upon precision tools with a finer touch whenever possible, reserving the sledgehammer as a last resort. Similarly, FOR seeks to work with other watershed stakeholders through the tools of dialogue, education and consensus-based action, turning to confrontation only when more constructive remedies prove insufficient.Friends of the Rappahannock is governed by an Executive Committee consisting of 5 officers, up to 10 at-large representatives, plus the chairs of 6 standing committees. The organization employs a full time Executive Director and several full-time and part-time staff for the implementation of our advocacy, restoration, and education programs.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Or at least like winter
Staying on track with eating well, exercising, sleeping and overall healthy living can be harder than normal over the holidays and all of the festivities that come along with them.
I think the most important thing to remember is that indulging in the treats of the season is ok! Just choose wisely and don't overdo it. If you indulge every day, it's not a treat anymore, it's a habit.
The traditional tips about how to live in a healthy way still apply. There are no secrets for how to stick to your goals over the holidays. As with healthy living in general, it's not the ideas themselves that are complicated, it's actually quite simple. It's the execution that can be difficult.
5 simple tips for healthy living over the holidays:
- Don't stress out about what you shouldn't be eating. Focus on what you want to keep in your diet more than what you want to keep out. If you focus on eating a large salad with dinner, you can still eat some of your favorite dishes but the salad will help fill you up on nutritious, fibrous vegetables and you'll likely eat less unhealthy foods. At dinner or cocktail parties, snack on the vegetable platter and eat a large helping of salad with dinner.
- Stay active! Practice yoga, go to the gym, take a dance class, take your dog on extra long walks, make a thermos of hot tea and bundle up your family to go for a walk after dinner and look at the holiday decorations around your neighborhood.
- Make sure you get enough fiber every day. Why? It has been shown to increase satiety, lower blood cholesterol levels, and keep our digestive systems in tip top shape not to mention that a diet high in fiber may help prevent colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. According to the American Dietetic Association, the average American gets about 14 to 15 grams of fiber a day. Not even close to the recommended 25 to 35 grams. Good sources include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, peas, other legumes, nuts and seeds. Pretty much the staples of a vegan diet!! Read more on fiber here.
- Stay hydrated. Make sure to drink plenty of water.
- Enjoy yourself! With the added commitments and responsibilities that the holidays can bring, we need to remember what is really important about them and not let the less important things get in the way of the most important things. Let the stress go and be present.

Does grapefruit interact with Celebrex, Plaquinil, methotrexate, and Avapro?
- Q: I take these medications: Celebrex, Plaquinil, methotrexate, and Avapro. Does grapefruit have any interactions with any of them? Do you have any concerns?
- A: I have reviewed your question regarding Celebrex (celecoxi), Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), methotrexate and Avapro (Irbesartan) and grapefruit. I find no interaction with grapefruit. However, I do find that there is a drug-drug interaction with Avapro and Celebrex. There is a decreased antihypertensive effect. You may want to monitor your blood pressure closely and also contact your physician if your blood pressure is not at normal levels. You may want to review the articles on hypertension at http://www.everydayhealth.com/hypertension/understanding.aspx.
