You know what's awkward? When you're sitting around your kitchen in your tights and a tank top when the landlord knocks on the door and you say come in not thinking about what you are wearing. Even more awkward when it's a middle aged, dad landlord.
Whoops. Maybe if I hadn't been drinking this cocktail I would have put pants before saying "come in." Maybe not. Anyway, keep your pants on (or your skirt down) always!
It's been a painful start to 2014; I've been sick since Christmas fighting bronchitis, and then, some sort of head cold. My body needed rest but I gave it 6-day work weeks and a move. I'm good to myself like that. Plus, I've watched the first five seasons of Sons of Anarchy and have become overly attached. It was painful when Opie died. However, I feel like I'm finally on the road to peace and good health. Cocktails always help on these sort of endeavors.
January was a cold month, so it was time for tropical drink; this cocktail was the perfect choice. All the ingredients were easy to find and I have a big bottle of dark rum sitting around from making eggnog. The painkiller was smooth and surprisingly not too sweet. Take yourself on a mini vacation with this cocktail today!

Yield – 1 cocktail (it's strong!)
1/4 cup dark rum

Suggestions welcome.
This is a peek of the corner.
That sweet little owl was a garage sale find.
I was hoping that big truck in front of your house yesterday brought you a comfy place to rest your tiny heiny! You know I'm going to have to find a flimsy excuse to come and see it all. I love the glimpses you've shared!!
I'm surprised you didn't hear my squeal of delight when that truck pulled up! You never need an excuse... come see anytime! xoxoDelete
Loved the sneak peek! Great job on the desk and I LOVE the window panes. No idea what I would do with them either but they look awesome - very creative. And as far as Scrabble - EVERY time I see it at a yard sale or thrift shop I snatch it up! Those letter tiles can be used for so much!
Looking so good Jules! Love those trunks and window frames - and didn't that desk come up a treat!!! Wow. You have a real eye for great bargans. :)

Volusia's Beach Patrol gets new name, outfits
Volusia County leaders have put their official stamp on a gentler approach to patrolling the beach.
The Volusia County Beach Patrol will now be known as Beach Safety Ocean Rescue.
During a county council meeting Thursday, members also got a look at new uniforms for lifeguards. They will now wear yellow T-shirts and red shorts, while the actual law enforcement officers will stay in white and blue.
Leaders said they were worried the old blue and white uniforms for lifeguards gave the false impression that the beach was full of law enforcement officials.
The county council has already created new driving rules on the beach, after a number of accidents involving civilian and law enforcement vehicles.
The council members are also changing out the patrol fleet to include smaller, more approachable beach-friendly vehicles.

When you a frame a shot on Instagram, of course you want to indulge in some photography fun, but really what many users are doing is snapping visual reminders of what inspires them. From a gratuitous shot of a favorite food, to a breathtaking sunset, each post is a statement about what visually appeals to each individual poster. So why not channel that inspiration into a super-fresh pair of sneakers? Well now, the style-savvy sneaker heads at Nike PHOTOiD have found an outlet for all that social media creativity.
Nike PHOTOiD has created an ingenious system which allows shoppers to create a user profile by logging in through their existing Instagram account; the next step is to choose a photo and pick one of three Nike styles (approximately $135). Then, the system will generate a custom sneaker design corresponding to the colors and visual elements in the image. The result is a Nike look that is totally your own – which will also be displayed in Nike PHOTOiD's online public gallery - it's amazing to see how each individual shoe really does invoke the essence of the inspirational image. Check out some of our favorite examples from the gallery bellow and above (a timely homage to Coachella)!

Videogame Prescription Helps 12-Year-Old Beat Cancer
Taylor Carol
Taylor was introduced to the game last June by child-life specialists working at Children's Hospital of Orange County in California, who demonstrated the game to the young patients on a laptop. It took him a little while to warm up to idea of playing a game that would force him to confront his condition. "For the first few months I didn't want to hear about it," Taylor told InformationWeek. "I was still in kind of shock."
Ultimately, his curiosity got the best of him. "After about my second round of chemo, I became more interested. I was feeling so gross, I wanted to know why this was happening," he says. "I really wanted to learn about my cancer, but I didn't want to do it by reading a text book."
Re-Mission became one of Taylor's most important resources for figuring out how cancer was affecting his body. "I learned that cancer cells reproduce so quickly," he says. "I thought maybe it would be two or three rounds of chemo, but it turns out it's a much longer fight. Fighting cancer is a lot harder than you think."

By Jonathan Reckford
We need look no further than the vision statement in our own strategic plan to find clear expression of the role partnership plays in this ministry: "Mobilizing people, and financial and social capital, Habitat for Humanity International will demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus Christ by serving as a partner and catalyst for worldwide access to decent, safe, affordable housing." This means that we should and must work together to fulfill our mission.It means we have to seek, establish and cultivate partnerships between Habitat and the families we want to serve, between HFHI and affiliates, national offices and local organizations, between volunteers, donors, churches and community groups, government agencies, corporations and other development organizations whose missions complement ours and vice-versa. As we strive to serve another record number of families this year, we will succeed in proportion to our ability to partner well.
There is nothing I enjoy more about my job than experiencing Habitat in the field — it's so inspiring to see how God is working through Habitat and our partners in transformational ways. I saw a perfect example of this during a recent trip to South America. This is a favorite story because it emphasizes so well our desire to use our gifts to be a part of holistic community transformation.
I traveled to a community called Varjada, about two hours outside of Recife, Brazil, which is one of the country's poorest regions. Not unlike many poor communities in other parts of the world, women in Varjada often found themselves walking four hours a day to collect water for cooking, bathing and cleaning throughout the long dry season. In addition, "kissing bugs" had infested the substandard housing in the area and infected some of the people living there with Chagas' disease, which damages internal organs and can lead to death. Confronting that threat and spending so much time gathering water stole from a focus that might have been directed elsewhere. Fortunately, the power of partnership was at work in Varjada.
Like some of her peers in the community, a woman named Severina Guilhermina Ferreira — informally called Dona Tatá — had partnered with Habitat to build a solid, decent brick home. Habitat, with technical assistance from a partner organization called Articulação Semi-árido Brasileiro (ASA) and funding from other partner organizations, then built a cistern at her home and at other Habitat homes nearby.
This meant that Dona Tatá and others in Varjada no longer had to devote so much time each day to gathering the water they needed. With more time on her hands, Dona Tatá could improve her embroidery — a time-honored, but declining, art form in the community. She also helped create an embroidery group with other women in Varjada. World Vision recognized the activity and added a microfinance component to the equation. That has helped many community women develop their craft into an income-generating enterprise. Today they have decent, affordable housing, a means of collecting water at home, more time to apply themselves toward a financial end and the means through which they can reach that end.
Thanks in part to student work teams from São Paulo, a new school is being constructed in the community, as well, providing further opportunities for local children to gain the education they need.
All of this may never have happened without the partnerships that have flourished in Varjada. As servant leaders, we want our neighbors living in poverty to develop holistically; we want their communities to develop holistically. While our focus at Habitat for Humanity always will be housing, we should view it in the context of other needs families have: water, sanitation, employment, education, healthcare and the list goes on. We can't do that without partnerships. I often reflect on my experience in Varjada as clear evidence of the positive power partnerships can wield. We need look no further than Dona Tatá.

This is a movie that began shooting (at Pinewood Studios, in London, for both economic and artistic reasons) without a finished script and wasn't completely cut until a few weeks before its release. A project that has gone through three directors, eight screenwriters, innumerable script drafts telling several dissimilar stories, both with and without Ripley.
Also a Writers Guild strike, the gulf war, mammoth cost overruns, a change in studio leadership. Tantrums. A serious special-effects accident. Producers who lost their power as soon as they became the writers of the final draft. Reshoots that cost millions to produce moments of film. Everything, it would seem, but a plague of locusts and boils.
Still, Sigourney Weaver had fun.
''There was a great deal of worry from the studio,'' she says. ''Fox had just finished Die Hard 2, which cost an incredible amount of money. And they were sort of afraid this would happen to this one. Because when we started when (director David) Fincher came on the picture they were like $7 million in the red (on the project).''
But her initial skepticism about Fincher, then a 27-year-old novice whose previous experience was limited to music videos (including Madonna's "Express Yourself" and "Vogue"), quickly turned into admiration when she saw that his technical mastery was matched by a precocious sensitivity to his actors. ''He is so cool, this guy,'' Weaver says. ''I just can't believe what he's endured.''
She is talking about Fox's ''attempt to micromanage every financial detail,'' as David Giler puts it. Via transatlantic telephone, the studio kept the young director on the tightest possible tether, reportedly even dictating when the lights should go out on the set each night.
Despite the pressure, Fincher seemed unfazed. ''We just cracked jokes through the whole shoot,'' Weaver says. ''A lot of it was at the expense of Fox. It was the only way to survive. Our producers had abandoned us, and because of the gulf war, Fox people weren't coming over. We were like kids putting on a show in the barn.''
And Weaver herself had changed, from the serious young thespian uncertain about the honor of doing movies at all, let alone big commercial movies (Bill Murray used to tickle her before takes on Ghostbusters to get her to loosen up), to a grown-up taking the longer view. ''I had my daughter with me, so my life was very civilized, very balanced,'' she says. ''Every day I got to leave this terrible lice-ridden planet to have lunch with Charlotte. I had trouble sometimes bringing myself down again. I was having such a good time.
''A lot of actors work from agony and insecurity,'' she says. ''But the longer you work, the more you realize that's just taking you away. I've learned from certain magical people I've worked with Michael Caine, Gérard Depardieu to love being there.''
But will the Alien3 audience feel the same way? Fox may have trouble squeezing blockbuster performance out of this poundingly grim, low-tech movie about the creature's predations on what one character calls ''a bunch of lifers who find God at the ass end of space'' a movie that is black-humored at best and whose ending can only be described as downbeat.
David Fincher, who gave one stressed-out interview after the completion of principal photography, isn't talking. Fox's Roger Birnbaum sounds a bit nervous. ''I think the picture will find an audience,'' he says gingerly. ''The core of Alien fans will go back. I think this movie holds up the integrity of the franchise."

The Many Reasons to Still Own Abbott Labs
The physician, Dr. Samin Sharma, is director of Clinical and Interventional Cardiology, dean of International Clinical Affiliations, and president of the Mount Sinai Heart Network, at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York.
Dr. Sharma explained further, "For these patients, physicians have a new technology to reach the blockage and restore blood flow with ease and confidence." For ABT that's the kind of endorsement that money just can't buy and should help make the sales of the new coronary stent system a significant new addition to the company's cash flow.
Abbott will report quarterly earnings and no doubt comment on its dividend on Jan. 21.
Let me close with a five-year chart that speaks volumes about ABT's success both as a company and as a diversified provider of many far-reaching health-care and medical products. Its free cash flow yield and its remarkable increase in quarterly income from continuing operations is nothing less than impressive.

Carnegie Mellon's Master Of Product Development Program Plans Expansion
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When Carnegie Mellon University began its Master of Product Development (MPD) degree program a decade ago, it was the first of its kind, combining instruction and expertise from three world-class schools on campus. The program, a one-year graduate-level offering, takes a holistic approach toward innovation, underscoring the importance of an interdisciplinary perspective for successful product development. Now the Tepper School of Business has officially joined the School of Design and the Department of Mechanical Engineering as a third partner in oversight of this interdisciplinary degree, underscoring growing interest in the program by traditional business professionals.
"The program is designed to mirror the challenges that design professionals experience in the real world," said Jonathan Cagan, Master of Product Development co-director and the Tallman and Florence Barrett Ladd Professor of Mechanical Engineering. "It is not feasible to design in a vacuum, approaching innovation from a single perspective. Today's great products and services are the innovations of teams of professionals that understand the intersection of form, functionality, logistics, marketing and consumer behavior."
Joining Cagan as co-directors of the MPD program are Eric Anderson, associate professor in the School of Design and associate dean of Carnegie Mellon's College of Fine Arts, and Peter Boatwright, the Carnegie Bosch Associate Professor at the Tepper School of Business. In addition to interdisciplinary research conducted in the program, Cagan and Boatwright also have collaborated on two books, "The Design of Things to Come" and "Built to Love: Creating Products that Captivate Customers," which introduced the concept of "product emotions" and detailed the scientific process by which design teams can build the emotions into products that their customers desire.
Currently, the class consists of approximately 20 students, annually. With increased interest from students with business backgrounds and new opportunities for capstone projects supplied by industry sponsors, the program is expected to grow to 30-40 students in the near future.

Noble Energy Announces Agreement For New Build Drillship
HOUSTON, Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NBL) today announced that it has entered into a 36 month contract with a subsidiary of Atwood Oceanics Inc. (NYSE: ATW) for a new build drillship to support its global new ventures efforts in deepwater exploration and development. The agreement demonstrates the Company's commitment to global offshore exploration.
The drillship Atwood Advantage is currently under construction by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. in South Korea. Delivery is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2013 when the rate of $584,000 per day will be initiated. The dual BOP stacks, enhanced offline capabilities, 12,000 feet water depth/40,000 feet drill depth ratings and the increased mobility will add flexibility to Noble Energy's global exploration program. The rig's advanced capabilities are sufficient to reach the deep oil target in the Eastern Mediterranean, which will be the first exploration prospect drilled.
Noble Energy is a leading independent energy company engaged in worldwide oil and gas exploration and production. The Company has core operations onshore in the U.S., primarily in the DJ Basin and Marcellus Shale, in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, offshore Eastern Mediterranean, and offshore West Africa. Noble Energy is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is traded under the ticker symbol NBL. Further information is available at www.nobleenergyinc.com.

How to fight a speeding ticket in Idaho
No person shall drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is reasonable
and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and
potential hazards then existing. §49-654(1)
More often than not, most people are of the impression that a speeding
ticket has no major repercussion. They think that all you have to do
is pay the fine and all is well and good. This is quite far from the
truth especially if you have committed a speeding offense in Idaho
where speeding laws are stringent. Currently, the maximum speed limits
in Idaho are between 20mph and 65mph depending on the location. For
instance, near a school zone, the limit is 20mph and 75mph on highways
with four traffic lanes and a median. Clearly, you need to know how to
fight a speeding ticket if you are to evade harsh punishment. In
addition, you are likely to accrue more points on your driver's
license for speeding, which could eventually cost you your license.
When you choose to fight a speeding ticket, you plead not guilty and
wait to go to trial. Request for a court date through mail or visit
the courtroom. However, before the case is over, there are some tricks
you can use to get rid of your speeding ticket. There are always
loopholes in the court system, which you can use to your advantage. To
begin with, court officials are human and they make errors that could
work to your benefit. It is possible that they could misplace your
mail or documents, which could lead to case dismissal. It is also wise
to attend your hearing proceedings because if your arresting officer
is absent, which is likely since they are often busy, your case will
be dismissed. You can also fight the ticket by requesting several
continuances. This is especially if the ticketing officer does not
show up or does not have all the relevant information for the case.
Make the court clerk your friend, so that they can allow a continuance
without trouble. Delay, Delay, Delay very important to beat your
speeding ticket.
Pleading your case to the ticketing officer can also help you beat the
ticket. Ticket officers have the capacity to withdraw the ticket, so
make sure you are respectful when requesting they do so. The most
important factor when you want to fight a speeding ticket in Idaho is
to understand that there is always a chance that you will beat the
ticket. In fact, the National Motorist Association approximates that
half of those who fight speeding tickets win. Therefore, plead not
guilty, learn how to fight a speeding ticket, and defend yourself.
Fixed Penalty Cost of Ticket In Idaho
The following fixed penalties, which include court costs, are assessed
for speed related infractions: for exceeding the speed limit by 1 MPH
but 20 MPH, a fixed penalty of $53; for exceeding the speed limit by
20 MPH, a fixed penalty of $108; and for speeding in a construction
zone, a fixed penalty of $82.50. Rule 9(4)(a) & (b) & (6), Idaho
Infraction Rules
Idaho Point System
(1). An offender's license is suspended for 30 days, 90 days or 6
months, if he/she respectively accumulates 12 points within 12 months,
18 points within 24 months or 24 points within 36 months.
Note: Three (3) points are deducted from a driver's record if he/she
attends traffic school prior to a suspension; this can only occur once
in a 3 year period.
(2). The following points are assessed for speeding and speed related
offenses: 1 MPH to 15 MPH over the speed limit-3 points; inattentive
driving-3 points; 16 or more MPH over the speed limit-4 points; a
violation of the minimum speed rule (including not driving in the
right-hand lane when proceeding at less the normal rate of speed) -3
points; a violation of a posted speed limit on an elevated structure
-3 to 4 points; and, racing on the highways-4 points. §49-326 and

The Global Net Orchestra will perform a short piece as part of a concert by Carnegie Mellon students of Computer Music Systems and Information Processing. The concert begins at 2:30pm EST, and the orchestra will play about 3:30pm. The concert will not be streamed, but the public is invited to the concert in College of Fine Arts room 111 (The Studio for Creative Inquiry).
Our concert on March 1 is fast approaching! We're making great progress on software and I'm anxious to see/hear the GNO in operation. Testing so far has made it clear that you can't imagine all the things that can go wrong, so it is essential that everyone participate in at least one or two rehearsals before the concert. Follow the link below to read about our drummer...
Here's the rehearsal schedule: Sat, Feb 15, noon, EST; Sat, Feb 22, noon, EST; Tue, Feb 25, 7AM EST; Wed, Feb 26, noon, EST
CONCERT: Sat, noon, Mar 1, EST
Live streaming video for non-performers is here.
Update: There was a bug in the OS X (Mac) version of GNOtest.app -- it did not behave well unless it was within the user's home directory tree. A new version was just posted to Sourceforge. We're doing some further tests, and would like to hear from you if it works or not.
Welcome to new members! I apologize for delays in approving your requests -- you'd be amazed that half of the requests we get are mysterious spam so I have to read all the requests to see if they are legit before approving them and delete the rest.
To find more about who and what we are, see Now Recruiting! (updated Sunday).
The Global Net Orchestra will perform on March 1 around noon, EST. We are now looking for members, so please create an account and tell us something about yourself. We have 100 positions to fill.
The performance will consist of 100 performers spread around the world making music together on laptops. Each performer will play, either by just typing keys on a keyboard (each key is a note in the scale, and there's about an octave and a half from "A" to "L" and beyond), or by plugging in a MIDI keyboard. Each performer will construct a set of samples to be their personal instrument. Music will be conducted in various ways: We'll have scrolling graphical scores (like Guitar Hero or a piano roll), directed improvisation, and some drum-circle-like playing. We're accepting members!
We are happy to announce the first phase of GNO software is complete. You can now download a 64-bit GNO application for either Windows or Apple OS X.
Go to the Sourceforge Download page and get GNO-7setup.zip for Windows or GNO-7.app.zip for Apple OS X. (Instead of "7", get the latest version you can find there.)
GNO implementation continues. I finished some test code that simulates clients sending state to the server and the server sending the combined states of clients back to all the clients. Even implemented in Serpent, the load is very low (a few percent), so Serpent will work as an implementation language for everything but sound synthesis.
Next step: a more complete implemenation of statistics gathering and clock sync now that server and client are exchanging messages.
globalnetworkorchestra.org is online! I know this is obvious, but I wanted to make an "Article" with Drupal to see what happens.
I acquired globalnetworkorchestra.org, globalnetworkorchestra.com, globalnetworkorchestra.info, and globalnetworkorchestra.net.
The Global Network Orchestra is project of Roger Dannenberg and Tom Neuendorffer.
We are planning a concert in association with the Ammerman Center 14th Biennial Arts and Technology Symposium at Connecticut College on March 1, 2014.

To understand how different people value the marine environment, and marine wildlife in particular, the USC Sea Grant survey included 35 questions to assess respondents' attitudes. Responses shed light on how different groups within the population perceive and value various marine resources, with a focus on marine wildlife. This section of Highlights presents findings about attitudes revealed by the survey and how attitudes differed across race/ethnic groups.
The survey's attitude questions were classified into two broad value categories: anthropocentric and biocentric. Within these designations, we identified ten specific attitudes. Respondents could "agree/disagree" along a scale from strongly agree (+2) to strongly disagree (-2), with no opinion coded as zero. Thus we could rate respondents' strength of agreement or disagreement with particular attitude positions.Anthropocentric attitudes prioritize humans and value nature in terms of its benefits or costs to people. Specific anthropocentric attitudes are identified below, along with sample statements that illustrate the attitude.
Biocentric attitudes prioritize animals and nature and value the environment for its inherent value. Specific biocentric attitudes are identified below, along with sample statements from the survey.
- Utilitarian-stewardship : foremost interest in the practical value of animals and the natural environment"The most important reason to protect areas where fish mature and reproduce is to insure that people will have enough fish to eat in the future."
- Utilitarian-dominionistic: principal concern for the mastery or control of animals and nature"I think that recreational fishing is fine, regardless of whether you eat the fish you catch."
- Negativistic: fundamental interest in avoidance of animals due to indifference, dislike, or fear of animals"When I go to the beach, I don't go in the water because there might be unpleasant animals like jellyfish or crabs there."
- Aesthetic: primary interest in the physical attraction or beauty of animals and nature"If I had to choose, I'd rather snorkel than surf because snorkeling allows me to see beautiful fish."
- Animal welfare: principal concern for the right and wrong treatment of animals and nature"Keeping smart animals like seals and killer whales in aquariums is cruel."
- Supernatural: fundamental interest in the supernatural properties of animals and nature"I avoid some kinds of animals because they bring bad luck."
- Environmental-naturalistic: primary interest in direct contact with wildlife in undisturbed, natural settings"If I were to support the protection of coastal marshes or wetlands, it would be to allow seabirds to live in their natural habitat."
- Environmental-stewardship : principal concern for ecological characteristics of wildlife and natural habitats"The most important reason to prevent oil spills is because local populations of sea birds could be wiped out."
- Animals rights: foremost concern for the rights and well-being of individual animals"We should not keep marine animals in aquariums because they have the right to be free."
- Coexistence: primary interest in the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals
"It's OK when pelican steal fish from commercial fishermen because pelicans have to eat, too."
One focus of our query of attitudes was attitudinal
changes from respondents' childhood to adulthood. Half the survey respondents
indicated a change in their attitudes about animals and the environment.
Of those, almost 90% recognized a shift from never thinking about protecting
the environment as a child to thinking about environmental protection
as an adult. Ninety-five percent of respondents indicated that as adults
they had a better understanding of the need for humans and animals to live
together on Earth, and that they recognized how important animals are to
our ecology. When asked why their attitudes had changed since childhood,
the number one response (50% of those who indicated an attitudinal shift)
was that they know more about animals now that they are adults.
Overall, respondents expressed Environmental-stewardship and Aesthetic attitudes most strongly. Animal Welfare, Animal Rights, and Environmental-naturalistic attitudes were also moderately strong. In contrast, Utilitarian-dominionistic and Utilitarian-stewardship attitude scores were weak.
Differences in attitudes
across racial/ethnic groups were notable, however (see figure below).
The strongest contrasts were between Latinos and Asian-Pacific Islanders.
Latinos were the most biocentric group overall, while Asian-Pacific
Islanders were the most anthropocentric. Latinos had the highest overall
Environmental-stewardship scores and also were more supportive of
statements in favor of human-animal Coexistence. Asian-Pacific Islander
respondents exhibited stronger Utilitarian attitudes than the other
groups and were much less likely to support Animal Welfare statements.
African Americans and Whites fell in the middle range of responses.
|Highlight: Asian-Pacific Islanders were the only group that expressed strong Utilitarian-dominionistic attitudes. For example, 70% of Asian-Pacific Islander respondents strongly agreed with the statement that recreational fishing is acceptable regardless of whether one ate the catch, compared to 51% of African Americans, 42% of Whites, and 35% of Latinos who agreed with the same statement.
FOCUS: Latinos and Biocentrism
More than other groups, Latinos expressed biocentric attitudes. With respect to Animal Rights sentiments, for example, over three quarters of Latinos strongly agreed that the fate of individual animals mattered to them. Latinos were also far more likely to feel that marine animals should not be kept in aquariums because they have the right to be free (almost two thirds compared to only 22% of Whites, 32% of Asian-Pacific Islanders, and 40% of African Americans). Environmental-naturalistic attitudes were more mixed. While 30 percent of Latinos moderately or strongly disagreed with the statement that it was nature's way for whales to become beached, however unfortunate, this was higher than for the other race/ethnic groups. Over three fourths of Latinos strongly agreed that we should protect wetlands to allow seabirds their natural habitat, and two thirds strongly agreed that it was never okay to interfere with wild animals (compared to a fifth of whites, a third of Asian-Pacific Islanders, and just over two-fifths of African Americans).

Founders comes highly recommended by me: I stop there whenever I'm travelling through GR. It's very laidback and informal, the beer is very good indeed.
I'm an IPA man, and one time I was there they had three examples of it on tap! But my companion, whose beer taste sometimes runs elsewhere than triple ipa, had a variety of beers that she very much enjoyed as well.
Some of the weirder beers are . . . weird, but that's what you'd expect. The IPA is justw hat it ought to be, as is the pale. The breakfast stout is also definitely worth a try.
This is a serious contender for best brewery in Michigan, IMHO."

State won't seek death penalty in Osceola shootings
State Attorney Jeff Ashton decided his office will not seek the death penalty in cases against two suspects in a string of shootings -- two of them deadly.
Konrad Schafer, 15, and David Damus, 20, face murder charges in the deaths of David Guerrero and Eric Roopnarine.
Docs: Killers lured victim, stole from him
Guerrero was shot and killed at random while he waited for a city bus, according to officials.
Roopnarine was lured with the promise of sex so a group of thieves could take money and kill him, investigators said.
Investigators said Schafer, whose father bought him a rifle, is also responsible for several other random shootings in the Kissimmee area.

The major passages and structures of the upper respiratory tract include the nose or nostrils, nasal cavity, mouth, throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx). The respiratory system is lined with a mucous membrane that secretes mucus. The mucus traps smaller particles like pollen or smoke. Hairlike structures called cilia line the mucous membrane and move the particles trapped in the mucus out of the nose. Inhaled air is moistened, warmed, and cleansed by the tissue that lines the nasal cavity.

Muslims attend Friday prayer services in southern California on September 14, 2012. Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry.
Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.
But you're allowed to be a radical Muslim in America. You're allowed to believe that the Qu'ran proscribes the most elegant set of laws. You're allowed to believe that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. And you can say, in America, pretty much anything you want. Not everything, and after 9/11, a little less, but you can still make very unpopular arguments.
So just for the sake of argument, let's assume that the only factor that motivated these two brothers from Chechnya to set off bombs and kill police officers is their decision to accept some form of radical Islamic teachings as their foundational belief system. (I highly doubt this is the case, but let's just throw it out there.)
We ask: "We have to look at the whole issue of radicalization. What prompts someone raised as an American to cause such carnage?"
That's what Peter King, the Republican chair of the Homeland Security committee, asked. So he goes right to the religion; somehow, he slides very quickly past the possibility that something about America is radicalizing people of all sorts.
He commits the sin of essentialism.
It's a horrible habit: A Korean-American shoots fellow students at Virginia Tech, and suddenly, we're forced to pretend that it's OK to blame Korean-American family structure and culture for putting him over the edge, ignoring the millions of Korean-Americans who have never considered taking up arms.
The murderer Andrew Cunanan was, in Tom Brokaw's famous words, a "homicidal homosexual."
See? The gay made him do it.
But when a white kid murders dozens of children, we don't ask whether the predominant Christian religion in America somehow radicalized him, or whether his upbringing was somehow less American than anyone else's. Stupid questions! Glad we don't ask them.
It is far more plausible that American gun culture, the way that Americans are uncomfortable with people who are different, the gaps in the mental heath system, and a hundred other things, some of which cannot ever be controlled, pushed these two men over the edge. If it was Islam, or a hidden network of radical jihadists, then these types of events would not be rare in America. That they are is the answer to whether Islamic radicalization is a problem that Americans can and must contend with by stigmatizing Muslims.
What is it about America that so alienates young men?
What is it about their community — Cambridge, lower-middle class, American popular culture — that isolated them and encouraged their pursuit of a different way to add meaning to their lives?
Here's the thing: We won't really ever know. We rightfully seek closure and answers, but we ought to come to grips with the reality that violence against random others is often a conspiracy of the mind.
I love American culture, and I also think that something about living in a modern society loosens the moorings that prevent us from acting on our deepest, ugliest thoughts. Maybe in America it's a combination of economic distress, mass media, access to guns, bias and prejudice; maybe elsewhere it's the decline of ordering institutions like the church.
The two suspects were Cantabrigians before they were Chechens. They were Americans before they Chechens. They were Americans; one was apparently a Muslim who had found a lovely girlfriend and never seemed to find that his religion was incompatible with whatever "normal" America is supposed to be.
Bias against Muslims is real and it hurts. And the easiest way to radicalize un-radicalized people is to treat them like enemies.

Naturopathic Medicine
Topic Overview
What is naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic medicine (or naturopathy) is based on the belief that the body can heal itself naturally. Naturopathic medicine attempts to improve health, prevent disease, and treat illness by promoting the use of organic foods and exercise; encouraging a healthy, balanced lifestyle; and applying concepts and treatments from other areas of complementary medicine (such as ayurveda, homeopathy, and herbal therapies).
Naturopathy was developed in the late 1800s in the United States. Today, a licensed naturopathic doctor (ND) attends a 4-year, graduate-level naturopathic medical school and studies the same basic sciences as a medical doctor (MD). But the ND also studies alternative approaches to therapy, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and bodywork.
Most traditional naturopathic physicians (naturopaths) believe in natural therapies, such as nutritional and lifestyle counseling. They generally avoid prescribing medicines or performing surgery. Some naturopaths prescribe herbal medicines, homeopathic dilutions, nutritional supplements, or perform minor surgeries. The disagreement over specific practice guidelines and licensing requirements in different states has led to some public confusion about the role of the naturopath.
What is naturopathy used for?
People use naturopathic medicine for promoting good health, preventing disease, and treating illness. Most naturopaths can treat earaches, allergies, and other common medical problems. Naturopathic medicine tries to find the cause of the condition rather than focusing solely on treating symptoms. A properly trained naturopathic physician works with other health professionals, referring people to other practitioners for diagnosis or treatment when appropriate.
Is naturopathy safe?
Two common concerns about naturopathic medicine are the use of dietary fasting and a bias against immunization (vaccinations).
- Talk with your medical doctor before fasting (not eating or drinking, or consuming only liquids for a period of time). Fasting can be dangerous, especially if you have a disease such as diabetes.
- Some naturopaths do not believe that immunization is necessary. Before immunizations became available, childhood illnesses caused large numbers of deaths and long-term health problems but provided survivors with natural immunity. The benefits of immunization greatly outweigh the risks.1
Always tell your doctor if you are using an alternative therapy or if you are thinking about combining an alternative therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on an alternative therapy.
Naturopathy licensing varies from state to state. Not all states require naturopaths to be licensed. Also, not all naturopathic educational programs are the same. Some schools grant degrees that are not accepted by state licensing boards. In the United States, the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) is the only agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to accredit naturopathic programs and colleges.
Before you choose a naturopath, find out whether the person graduated from an accredited college. Also check to see whether your state has licensing laws that govern the practice of NDs. If your state licenses NDs, ask your prospective ND whether he or she is licensed.

After twenty years of serving as a pastor and leading community-wide ministries, I found myself without a church and also without a personal identity. An Irreligious Faith is my story of re-evaluating my faith and re-examining the church I loved for so long. I soon found out that I was not alone on my journey and eventually became an encourager to those who struggle with many of the characteristics of the church, but find Jesus very compelling.
The institutional church is no longer the exclusive outlet for people's spiritual expression. Those who look for other avenues of involvement sometimes refer to themselves as "spiritual, but not religious." Researchers call them "nones" because they refuse to identify themselves with any traditional religious expression. Many of those who have turned from church find the ways of Jesus very attractive and aspire to the kind of life he lived, including his compassion for the poor and those on the fringes of society.
People are tired of carrying around the baggage of 2000 years of Christendom and are longing for a faith expression that makes sense. An increasing number of people are no longer willing to outsource their spiritual expression to an organization. They realize they are responsible for their own spirituality and growth and want to reunite faith and life, instead of trying to compartmentalize them. They want to jettison judgmental-ism and replace it with love for those who live on the fringes of acceptability.
I wrote An Irreligious Faith for people who want to bring the revolutionary ways of Jesus into their present daily experience, those looking for a stripped-down, raw and real way to live out their faith, right here, right now.
The book is divided into four sections.
Congratulations on your new book, Glenn! I resonate with the themes you describe.
Just got on your site..thanks so much, Glenn. Will be in touch!

1st bit of site work
Hi guys,
Just finished an ensuite on a new build. This place was huge and the owners are very tile happy. Got the job when the original tiler got the hump with the site boss and chucked a bucket of grout water over him
Here's a few piccies:

Re: 1st bit of site work
Looks good mate More fun than your brother's place?
15-04-2008 #4
Re: 1st bit of site work
Much more fun mate!
Give me this kind of work anytime.
All mats supplied and using tubbed addy made such a nice change.
Still took me a week though
This place was huge: wetroom and ensuite downstairs. bathroom and ensuite upstairs and loads of floor tiling downstairs. I really tryed to get some tips from the pro tilers there cos they were working so fast.
From looking at their work the key to speed was:
1 Don't waste time setting out
2 Don't waste time with a rubbing block on cut edges
3 Don't worry about having cut edges next to field tiles
4 If having a border, let the doorway interupt it so when it's 1cm out you won't notice it as much
5 Don't waste time getting trim cut to exactly the right length and you can save another 20 mins by not getting the tiles to sit flush with trim
6 Let someone else polish the grout haze off, at least it hides the grout job for a bit
7 Chipped tiles are fine to put on the wall if you can't be bothered to go get a new box
Thing is these guys are making the same money (well more 'cos they're getting twice as many tiles down as me) so who's the real mug?
15-04-2008 #5
Re: 1st bit of site work
Anyone would think you did this tile thing for a living Macten
Looks great from where I'm Sitt'n thanks for sharing.
Grout water over a builders head?........................I'll have to give that a go one day.

"Am I still gonna get paid?"
15-04-2008 #7
Re: 1st bit of site work
that is site work for you....sum it up in one word...rough !!!
it is exactly the same with plastering...
that is the reason I won't do it, I'd be skint because I'd take too long, no shame in being slower and producing quality work..
oh well, cup of tea over, back to work..

Re: 1st bit of site work
Don't worry guys - I'll always go for quality over quantity all day everyday.
Just know that there are tilers out there like yourselves who can achieve the same quality as me with the same pace as the dodgy tilers.
I know I haven't been in the game very long and I can only get faster but found it really dissapointing to have the opportunity to watch these 'pro' tilers at work and learn nothing from them.
I feel I am going to be a busy fool through no fault of my own.
15-04-2008 #11
Re: 1st bit of site work
More than 90% of what I know about tiling and tiling related things, I've found out on my own, one way or the other. Alot of the things my "teacher" taught me, I've later discovered to be, if not ineffective and limited, then downright wrong.
I started thinking "is he trying to screw me over or something?", but I soon realized he really didn't know what he was doing, or what he was talking about.
The vast majority of tilers I've met, have been the "quantity over quality" type. To actually find a tiler in real life, who can show you tricks and give you useful tips and information, is a rare thing. It's the school of hard knocks for most. 'Twas for me atleast.
Practise, read up on things you're unsure about, test ideas in private, and take your time. It's the only good way to learn the trade properly if no one who can show you the way is around.

" class="photo imageborder dropshadow left" onError="imgerr(this);" />We opt'd to do a video travel this year. We will be spending time with local family that will travel to see our distant family and we will make and send the video. The traveling family will do the same once they arrive. Instead of giving the traveling family a present, we are helping with airfare and travel expenses. Our family grew this past year and its nearly impossible to travel with two children 1 and 3 and two 13 and 11. This way we can spend more on our new home and stay safe, warm and hassle free and still be in touch with our out of state family. By Anita from Temecula, CA
