Mar. 6 at 9:13am
Saturday Jules and I went to a "Newman Night" gathering of local friends. We meet several times a year for a potluck dinner, lively debate and discussion over a selection of readings, then night prayer. The readings this time were all about the HHS mandate. They included this short article by fellow personalist Peter J. Colosi. The debate was about our focus. Should it be on protesting the violation of religious liberty, or should it be on explaining the evil of contraception? Or both?
One of those present and participating was our friend, Fr. Philip Forlano. Sunday evening he sent around the homily he had given at Mass. I asked him if I could publish it and he said yes. Here it is.
Genesis 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18
Psalm 116:10, 15, 16-17, 18-19
Romans 8:31b-34
Mark 9:2-10
If you have been paying any attention to the news in the last few weeks, you might have noticed that contraception coverage as part of comprehensive health care has been a hot topic. The Health and Human Services (HHS) Mandate requiring Catholic institutions to provide coverage for contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortion inducing drugs in their health plans is an affront to our 1st Amendment rights to religious freedom and would require faithful Catholics to violate their consciences if it is not rescinded.
It is the objective of the proponents of the administration's policy to portray the Catholic position on contraception as irrational, immoral, and a violation of a fundamental human right—therefore making it against women's health and progress. It is said that those opposed to the administration's mandate are engaged in a "war on women." This is political rhetoric designed to sway public opinion and boost the women's vote while at the same time serving as a smoke screen while our rights to freedom of religion and conscience are eroded.
What is not addressed in this debate is the "why" behind the Catholic teaching. While the "why" is not necessary to oppose the mandate on the grounds of religious freedom (note the many non-Catholic denominations and religious leaders that are with the Church in this fight even if they do not agree with us on contraception), being able to articulate the reason for the Church's teaching is important in order to counter the false premises that the administration and its allies are using to push their agenda.
In today's readings, we see the hallmark of love and devotion: it is the willingness to give everything to the beloved—to not withhold anything or spare anything for the sake of the beloved. Abraham is willing to offer his beloved son Isaac - who is everything to him—to God. And St. Paul marvels in his letter to the Romans how God, "did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all" (8:32). Abraham's act of faith and love leads to abundant blessings and the promise of many descendants—great fruitfulness. The sacrifice or "handing over" of the Father's beloved Son—who is everything to the Father—gives us the gift of new and abundant life. "How will he not also give us everything else along with him?" (8:32), says St. Paul. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son" (Jn 3:16). Love is a total gift of self.
For the sexual act to be an act of love—a loving act, it must be an expression of this total gift of self—not withholding anything from the other. The contracepted act, by chemical or barrier, is a withholding of an essential part of oneself from the other. It says, "I do not wish to give myself totally to you." Or conversely, "I do not wish to receive all that you have to give me." Contraception fundamentally changes the act from something self-giving to something self-centered. When contraception is introduced, love is excluded. When the procreative dimension is intentionally shut down, how united can the two people be? The two cannot become one if one or both are holding back something essential of themselves.
If the conjugal union between husband and wife is the source of life and love and the way man and woman cooperate with God's plan for salvation and receive his blessings, serving as co-creators with God in bringing new life into the world, what happens if this act gets twisted and distorted so as to sunder the procreative and the unitive dimensions? We see the breakdown of marital intimacy, the destruction of marriage and family life, the reduction of women to objects to satisfy men, an increase in violence and abuse of women, a rise in infidelity and illegitimacy, and a lowering of moral standards across the board. Along with all of the above, in 1968, Paul VI also warned that the widespread acceptance of contraceptives would also lead to government coercion in reproductive matters. We cannot look at the world honestly and say this isn't happening.
The Holy Father reminded our bishops recently (Jan. 19, 2012 ad limina visit) that the Church in the United States "is called in season and out of season, to proclaim a Gospel that not only proposes unchanging moral truths, but also proposes them precisely as they key to human happiness and social prospering (cf. Gaudium et Spes, 10)." These cultural trends represent not just a threat to Christian faith but also to humanity itself. For example, in all the debate about the economic crisis, no one seems to mention that the economic downturn hit at the same time the baby-boomers began to retire. Without a population that replaces itself with younger workers paying into the system, the network of social services can't be sustained financially. Without a growing population, you can't have a growing economy. People consume things and create demand. No people, no progress. A contraceptive culture literally has no future—it is a dying culture.
What is implied when contraception, sterilization, and abortion inducing drugs are considered by this mandate as essential components of "preventive health care"? Human life and pregnancy are put in the same category as diseases to be prevented. The fertile woman is an unhealthy woman who is at risk of contracting the disease of pregnancy. Human life itself is now placed into a category of social burden which the government now claims the competence and authority to control and define. Human life itself has become a threat to "health". Secretary Sebelius said a few days ago that providing free contraceptives would save health care costs in the long run because there would be less people in the system. In this mentality, people are the problem. This is not a Catholic or Christian way of looking at life and the human person.
Pope Benedict told the U.S. Bishops recently that "when a culture attempts to suppress the dimension of ultimate mystery, and to close the doors to transcendent truth," (e.g. eliminating the public witness of the faith), "it inevitably becomes impoverished and falls prey... to reductionist and totalitarian readings of the human person and the nature of society" (ad limina visit, Bishops of Washington, D.C, Jan. 19, 2012).
We must oppose this mandate not merely because it is a violation of our religious freedom, but because we as Catholics cannot cooperate with something that would inflict harm on women, that is bad for the family, and bad for society as a whole. We need to continue to write to our elected officials to voice our opposition to this unjust and dangerous mandate but also engage in a campaign of little conversations with our friends, neighbors, and relatives about the truth of Catholic teaching. Those who disagree with the Catholic position need to be asked to explain and to defend how suppressing a healthy and functioning reproductive system is "health care", how permanently mutilating one's reproductive system is "health care", and how taking drugs that induce abortion by making the womb inhospitable to the implantation of a fertilized egg—and all the increased medical risks associated with such things are care or cure in any way.
Like Abraham, faithful Catholics are being put to the test. The Lord is asking us to trust him and not to withhold anything back from him. It will probably get much nastier than it is now, and we will be called to witness to the truth of the Gospel and to suffer for the faith. We can do it if we believe that "if God is for us, who can be against us?" (Rom 8:31b). At the Transfiguration, Jesus brought Peter, James, and John into intimate prayer with him to give them a foretaste of the resurrection and to strengthen them and to prepare them for the cross. Jesus invites us to this Eucharist today, where we enter into his prayer and receive a foretaste of the resurrection, in order to prepare us and to strengthen us for the cross. The beloved Son has given us everything. Let us listen to him.
Homily given at the 7:00 a.m. Mass, Sunday, March 4, 2012, St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church, Lansdale, Pennsylvania. Rev. Philip M. Forlano is a priest of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and a parochial vicar at St. Stanislaus Parish in Lansdale, PA.
Here is a passage from von Hildebrand's Man and Woman:
The sinfulness of arficial contraception is rooted in the fact that one arrogates to oneself the right to separate the actualized love union in marriage from a possible procreation, to sever this wonderful, deeply mysterious connection, instituted by God, and to approach this mystery in an irreverent attitude...
It is the same sinfulness which lies in suicide or euthanasia, in both of which we act as if we were masters of life. It is the same irreverence which ignores the indissolubility of marriage and in which marriages are contracted and ended as one would change gloves.
Every active intervention on the part of the spouses, which eliminates the possibility of conception through the conjugal act, is incompatible with the holy mystery of the superabundant relation in the incredible gift offered by God.
And this irreverence also affects the purity of the conjugal act because the union can be the real fulfillment of love only when it is approached with reverence and when it is embedded in the religio, the consciousness of our basic bond to God.

Way to go, Father! You make the case beautifully and convincingly. Thank you.
I especially liked the quote from Benedict XVI, challenging us to connect the "unchanging moral truths" proposed by the Church to "human happiness and social prospering". We need to make it clear that we are motivated by love, not just legalism.

The farm is diversifying and evolving. Got freezer beef? We sold out our pastured chickens in no time at all and will encourage repeat customers and new customers to pre-order so we know how many to raise. 2 young goats were processed and have been tried with great success. We only bought a few Turkeys (less than 10) and have most of them spoken for.
Many of our customers are mourning the loss of our fresh eggs... but there is only one Alan and I made him decide between eggs and beef. So we now have 6 baby beef in our barn being bottlefed as we speak. Next year we think we will buy a dairy cow to act as momma to the baby beef we buy to cut out the middle-man of bottlefeeding... but for now we are out there caring for the calves and baling hay for the winter. I should really say Alan and Trevor are doing these things right now, as I am writing and enjoying a minute of rest.
On the egg front, we let the birds hatch out their young this spring and had several suprises. The first crop of ducklings dissappeared free ranging in less than a week. The one Pekin duck has adopted all the other ducklings. She was confined for a week in the otherwise vacant hen house with a weed filled run attached. Now she has 16 fuzzy followers ranging around the farm. One buff hen hatched 5 chicks, 2 of which Alan found in a plumbing access in the barn. These were rescued and temporarily housed with a bunny that the boys bought. They escaped and seem to have become someone's dinner. 3 other chicks were following their momma hen last time I saw them. The real suprise came when those silly geese insisted on sitting and we gave up fighting them. We were sure they were all girls and being obstinant in their defence of the sterile eggs. Were we suprised when 3 hatched!
The sow had piglets 8 of which we expect to survive. They were born on my son's 10th birthday! One seems to have been stepped on in the throws of labor and has pretty bad wounds on it's sides... but may survivie yet.

NY Attorney General Sues Entercom for Payola Practices
New York - Mar 8, 2006 - Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has filed a lawsuit against Entercom Communications alleging that company illegally traded air time for payments. Last year, after an investigation by his office, the attorney general announced agreements under which two major record labels agreed to halt the practice, adopt sweeping reforms and pay fines. Entercom is the first company to be sued as part of the probe.
The lawsuit claims that Entercom traded air time for gifts and other payments; traded air time for promotional items and personal trips; solicited and accepted payments from record labels for air time; and solicited and accepted payments from record labels for air time. In various documents and e-mails cited in the complaint, Entercom executives discussed strategies for supplementing radio station budgets with payments from independent promoters and record companies. In an e-mail to an Entercom executive, a station manager described how he preferred to deal with record companies instead of independent promoters because the record companies were more generous. In another e-mail acquired by the Attorney General, the program director at one Entercom radio station complained about the practice of using a CD previews program to generate payola.
Entercom, based in Bala Cynwyd, PA, owns and operates 105 radio stations, 11 of which are in the state of New York. The lawsuit seeks a halt to these illegal practices, reforms to ensure that air play is determined by artistic merit and popularity, and appropriate fines and penalties.

Top 10 Radio Advertisers Maintain Efforts
White Plains, NY - Mar 9, 2006 - In 2005, many radio stations followed the commercial inventory reduction effort, labeled Less is More by Clear Channel Communications. Media Monitors retained Wall Street analyst James Boyle to explore the ad inventory database from the industry's major markets to evaluate the effects of the Less is More campaign.
The top radio advertisers were the same 10 companies in 2005 as they were in 2004. The Media Monitors Spot Ten chart data shows dominance in both years from three automobile manufacturers (Toyota, Ford Lincoln Mercury and Chrysler Jeep Dodge) and three TV Networks (ABC, CBS and Fox), but with a new leader, Geico automobile insurance.
In 2005, commercial radio spots declined by 3.6 percent compared to 2004. The largest radio advertisers dropped even more with a nearly 6.8 percent decline. Also, the three largest automobile advertisers purchased five percent fewer radio spots in 2005 compared to 2004, while the two largest domestic automobile advertisers purchased 14 percent less.
Boyle's analysis of the Media Monitors information affirmed that the radio industry made good on its strategic plan for 2005 being a transition year, as it intentionally reduced commercial inventory to improve its product for its listeners and advertising clients alike.
Prophet Renames Nexgen 101 as PSI 101
Ogallala, NE - Mar 8, 2006 - Prophet Systems' Nexgen 101 software has been renamed PSI 101. While the name is new, the software is unchanged. According to Prophet Systems, the rebranding gives the product its own identity.
Prophet added that Nexgen and PSI 101 are aimed at two entirely different markets. PSI 101 is suited for small market stations, college stations or Internet stations. Diana Stokey, marketing manager of Prophet, says that the initials remind users that the software is practical, simple and innovative.
PSI 101 is built on a core license, and additional modules are added, such as Voice Tracing and CD Extractor, as they are needed.

Software Allows Off-air Recording
Bellevue, WA - Mar 9, 2006 - Snaptune has released Snaptune One, a software product that downloads complete songs, talk shows, interviews and live sessions directly from FM radio to a PC. The software isolates and identifies complete songs, talk shows and other segments automatically. Users pick local radio stations from a list for their location, and then the software displays a list of the songs playing on those stations as it finds them. Selections are then saved to the local PC. Snaptune can also find talk segments, interviews, live sessions and education programming--and it time shifts them to appropriate times without requiring any kind of program guide.
According to Ian Mercer, co-founder of Snaptune, the RIAA's efforts to control illegal downloading of music does not effect Snaptune. Because these are analog files that are typically heavily processed for broadcast, the music quality isn't good enough to replace a CD collection.
"Snaptune was developed in order to promote CD sales [and later digital downloads]," said Mercer. "Our primary business model is revenue from CD sales."
Gepco Ships X-Band Mic Cable
Des Plaines, IL - Mar 8, 2006 - Gepco International is now shipping its X-Band microphone cable. The flexible, high-bandwidth microphone cable series has been specifically designed for use in critical recording studio facilities or live sound venues.
Sonically transparent, the X-Band cables have a wide frequency response and exceptional RF/EMI noise rejection. These attributes are achieved by using a video-grade foam dielectric that significantly reduces the capacitance, and by cabling the pairs with a tight and precise twist. Conductors are made from finely stranded, oxygen-free copper to maximize conductivity and protect against corrosion. To shield and provide additional noise rejection, each pair is shielded with a dense 95 percent copper braid.

Hello all, Working on my first SqFT Garden and have a Zucchini plant growing and am curious if I have just one or several. This was a single plant purchased from one of the local stores but looking at it with my untrained eye I am seeing multiple stems coming out of the ground. There are a total of 5 (only 2 pictured. Thoughts??? |

I would say you have 5 plants. Are they all planted in one square foot? I hope someone here will be able to let you know whether to remove a couple (maybe transplant) or just let things go as they are. If you have 5 plants in one place, that will be quite dense when they reach their growing size. I bought one plant this year and found two in the pot, gently separated them so I have two good plants going, but not in one square foot. |
NO MORET THAN 2 PER HILL. me thinks. And it will be hard if not impossible to transplant them at tis stage. Probably IT WAS NOT a single plant wehen you purchased it . The usually plant multiple seeds of cucurbits per cell. But when transplanting you should choose ONE, TWO or max THREE. |

We have a cabinet install next week and not sufficient time to finalize the connections below the house to the water supply and drain. We'd like to have the drain stub-out in place and the hot and cold water pipes sticking-out of the wall, then after the cabinet install make the proper connections in the crawl space... We would feel better knowing that the copper pipes I sweated are leak-free before hanging the drywall and the cabinet install. What comes-to-mind is sweating on a fitting to receive a hose, cap the other end, and see if it holds. Other ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where H&C are stubed out,go ahead and install angle stops. To allow connecting air pressure and psi guage at angle stops,solder on male or female pipe thread fittings to accomindate pipe thread angle stops. You can use the pipe threads to connect air fitting. Alternatly,you could just solder the stops to stub outs but make sure you know how you plan connecting air where facuect supply lines will connect latter. Beg,borrow,buy or steal a Dutch Finger to plug other end of H&C lines. |

klem1, thank you for the reply. I had never heard of "Dutch Finger" before... Thanks again. |
You are most welcome. BTW,the best and most common brand is "Jet Sweat" and many plumbers say Jet Sweat regardless the mfgr's name. Great quility but pricy. |

i'm new to this part of gardenweb ... usually hanging out in the veggie section, however, i would like to ask some questions about lilies: i just got home from the minneapolis area (another grandbaby) and when i was there i saw TONS AND TONS of lilies; it seems like every home has a patch or section or area of lilies, even surrounding the mailboxes -- my daughter didn't know what kind they are (they are new there, also) but the lilies are tall with orange/yellow flowers and the leaves look like they *fall over* out of the top of the plant, surrounding the long flower stem ... daughter said she thought they were the kind that walmart sells in pots ...
can someone tell me if they grow in the yakima/selah area ... is it too hot here (it was 111 today where we live out of town) ... i have not seen them, but have not *looked for* them before ... will they grow and thrive in yakima/selah? any help appreciated ... darlene |

Could be day or ditch lilies (Hemerocallis) or could be true lilies (Lilium sp.) also. Both should grow well in your area. If they grow in the midwest, they'll grow in Yakima! |

Give to BHP
Home · BHP Home · CORPORATE INVOLVEMENT · Ambassadors Program
Due to scholarship funding constraints of being part of a public university, the McCombs School at best has been able to offer a limited number of incoming BHP students with scholarships of $10,000 per year. Starting in 2010, our scholarship need was further heightened by the loss of National Merit Scholarships at the University of Texas. The BHP has felt the effect of our limited scholarship funding with a decreased yield rate again for 2010-2011, as top candidates are stating that the McCombs School's scholarship offer does not compete with the packages being offered from out-of-state and private universities.Support is needed to ensure that the McCombs School's scholarship offers are competitive and combat the loss of these top applicants. We invite our corporate partners to make an annual commitment of $100,000 for the next five years to help us address this critical scholarship need in our Business Honors Program. To become a corporate partner or for more information, please contact Katie Banks at 512.475.8133.

Hi - Hope , I would love a some seeds! Thank you. tina_2 |
This is my first year with a candlestick plant. LOVE IT! I just noticed the seed pods growing. When should I clip the pods and when would be a good time to plant? |
I have to pull them up, I have so many seedlings growing. Cut them before they are completely dry or they will split open and sprout in the spring. |

Turn, Turn, Turn...Please
Kerry O\'Keeffe
3 stars
By Stuart Wark
31 Jan 2008
Stuart's Effort
Kerry O'Keeffe was a leg-spinner for NSW and Australia in the 1970s. As with many cricketers who failed to become 'legends' of the game in the manner of a Chappell or Border, O'Keeffe struggled for many years after his sporting retirement. The necessity to earn a living in the 'real' world comes as a shock to many ex-cricketers, and O'Keeffe certainly had his share of problems in making this adjustment. However, in recent years he has created a niche for himself with the ABC radio as an expert commentator. He has also released a book
According to Skull
which was a bestseller a few years ago.
Turn, Turn, Turn...Please
is O'Keeffe's second book. If you have read
According to Skull
, you will know what to expect from this effort. It is a series of short and sweet pieces describing various events throughout his life, with a very light hearted spin. O'Keeffe has built up a cult following for his commentary on ABC radio, and this book is very similar to an O'Keeffe session in the commentary box. Entertaining, but often diverging from the original context, it is never dull.
O'Keeffe varies his topics from horse racing to cricket to the forced land of aircraft. He describes in some detail his carefully devised betting system, and its outcome at racetracks in places such as Darwin. Amongst other subjects, O'Keeffe talks about the tour party that he led to the West Indies for the recent World Cup, and provides some brief profiles of lesser known team-mates from the 1970s such as Rick McCosker. One of the best parts is a recounting of the family 'Test' matches played in the garage.
This book is far more disjointed than his previous effort, and is simply a collection of amusing stories.
According to Skull
, whilst amusing, also had a lot of insight into the struggles that O'Keeffe faced in his life.
Turn, Turn, Turn...Please
does not feature this same level of introspection, and is poorer for it. Having said that, the content is undoubtedly funny, and the book works as a whole. For someone who deliberately presents himself as a buffoon, O'Keeffe's observations are surprisingly perceptive.
There remains enough insight and analysis mixed into the humour to sustain the interest of both casual and more serious cricket lovers. It is certainly not high literature, but then again, it makes no apologies for that. As a means of comparison,
Turn, Turn, Turn...Please
is probably not quite as good as
According to Skull
. This should not be seen as a serious indictment, however, as it is still a good book in its own right. It delivers what it promises - a fun read that is ideal for a lazy day on the beach.
Archie's Effort
A lot of people thought the first literary effort by Kerry O'Keefe a bit short of laughs; I must admit I was not amongst them.
According To Skull
was amusing in places, but also contained some poignant insights into the 'funny man' and his personal battles with life after cricket and eventual climb back to the top.
O'Keefe has seemingly decided to listen to the hoi polloi, and given up any pretensions to construct a book with any meaningful discourse on the game of cricket, which O'Keefe purports to be an expert.
His favourite key seems to be '!' and his favourite term 'heh, heh, heh', usually followed with another exclamation point!
In his next book it might be better if Kerry breaks new ground and produces the first cricket book resplendent with smiley icons.
The book itself is some sort of diary come opinion, with the occasional match review thrown in for good measure; which may be a World Cup match, or one of the latest Ashes Matches, or even a recent Test between West Indies and England (I was tempted to end this paragraph with a '!' but resisted the temptation).
O'Keefe is at his best in this book when discussing his past team-mates from the NSW Sheffield Shield Teams of the 1970s, although his "mug punter" stories are also very entertaining.
As an unabashed fan of the Kerry O'Keeffe commentary style, I must admit to being a little disappointed with
Turn, Turn, Turn...Please
, especially after his first effort
According To Skull
, showed such promise. 2.5 stars from the Mac

Oh please. The poor fanboy just wanted to have the same setup you are using. From your visit to Atlanta in 2008:
"In his luggage, they found a MacBook Pro, a Dell XPS M1210 laptop, an Asus 900 mini-laptop, three or four hard drives, numerous USB storage devices, some Bluetooth dongles, three iPhones, and four Nokia cell phones (with different SIM cards for different countries).
They also found a lock-picking kit and an HID proximity card spoofer that can be used to snag data stored on physical access cards by swiping it in front of them. The data can then be used to enter locked doors without having to make a forged access card. Mitnick says he used the device in a demonstration about security in his speech in Bogota, but that the customs agents' eyes lit up when they saw it, thinking it was a credit card reader.

If you fall from 30,000 feet, ignoring air resistance, you'd hit the ground in 43 seconds. I'm guessing air resistance would make that closer to 75 seconds. Not what I'd call "long dead before you hit the ground" as the summary suggests.

Re:Get your ass to Gliese 581g! (575 comments)
The first name for the planet was "Gliese 581g", a rather dry scientific name given to it in the early 21st century. The second name was "Hellfire", given by the initial landing party. That name never was heard on Earth, however, due to the obvious marketing issues. So for the third time, the planet was christened "Eden", which was oddly appropriate given the huge snakes-like natives. The planet was given other names by the colonists, but it would be better not to repeat them here.
Re:5 page paper? (539 comments)
The issue isn't getting out of jury service, the issue is that once you are a juror you are given no choice but to "agree" to a number of rules. There is no meeting of minds so a juror isn't really agreeing, just complying.
I might add that it is getting harder to avoid jury service, even if various tricks work in some courts. I wish jury service was a voluntary duty, not unlike voting.
Re:5 page paper? (539 comments)
you agree not to talk about the case with anyone else
Agree?? When do you have an opportunity to agree to anything in jury service? You are required to show up on such-and-such date at such-and-such time. You may not wear shorts, tank tops, beach shoes or t-shirts, or any clothing with offensive language or logos. Don't do this, and for heaven's sake, don't do that! Jurors lose quite a bit of freedom when they get that notice in the mail.
The possible penalties are made abundantly clear.
Yes indeed, the penalties are stacked neatly up to the ceiling.

The problem with seeing more ads that are targeted to you is that advertising works. Yes, it even works on you. That means we'll be buying more junk we don't really need but is appealing to us. I'd rather have ads that have nothing to do with me - at work our internet connection is routed through another state and I see ads for "local" businesses.

Not to worry, the politicians will be soon calling to tell you who you should be voting for. By the way, the Tea Party Patriots are an excellent choice for all your voting needs. Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government, Free Market, and No Thinking Required! It is the low stress alternative to researching and understanding those complicated issues!

Helloooooo.... nothing! Did you miss the part about "almost never offer anything germane"?? So it almost never has anything to do with Germany.

It was back in 2004 that Dove first launched its Real Beauty Campaign aimed at changing society's accepted standards of beauty. Dove's models have realistic proportions, showcasing how beautiful women of all shapes and sizes are. You might remember one ad in particular that accentuated the unrealistic and even unhealthy sizes of Victoria's Secret models in comparison to Dove's.
Now Dove has released their Real Beauty Sketches project, in which an FBI-trained sketch artist was asked to sketch women's faces based solely on their own descriptions. Each woman met a stranger and chatted with them for a bit, without any information as to what the experiment would entail. The stranger was then instructed to describe the lady she or he had spoken with, and the artist created a completely new illustration based on that person's answers to his questions.
The results reveal what many of us already know: we are often our own worst critics. It's clear that many of the women were deeply affected when shown both portraits side-by-side. Dove concludes that "You are more beautiful than you think." This social experiment continues to support Dove's mission of building confidence and high self-esteem in women everywhere. You can watch the Real Beauty Sketches video and view the rest of the portraits below. See the full experience on Dove.com. Warning: You might want to keep some tissues on hand for this one.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Frankie!
Facts about Frankie
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Frankie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
This loving, snuggly, marshmallow of a girl is looking for a very special someone to call her own. She is an absolute joy.
Other Pets at Bast's Treasures
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Frankie, a Fayette Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Fayette, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in Fayette.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fayette already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fayette breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fayette paves the way for another one to be saved.

Excuse my ignorance, but I have not been gardening for too long. I would like to know if verticillium (?) wilt affects pole or bush beans. I was planning on planting beans in the raised bed in which I planted tomatoes that became affected last summer but now I cannot find any information on bean susceptibility. Thanks very much in advance for any information! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Verticilium is a problem for me also, and attacks nearly everything to some degree. When it attacks beans, it usually hits the seedlings soon after emergence; I always over-plant, so I can destroy any stunted seedlings immediately. I generally lose a few mature pole bean plants each year to late attacks. Cool, wet weather aggravates the problem, so losses can be severe if beans are planted too early in cool soil, or if there is a long wet cold snap. I plant my beans later (around June 1rst) to avoid this, and water only when the plants show signs of water stress - this reduces the losses to very minor levels. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cheyenne ADOPTION PENDING, a Manchester Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Husky dog from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Husky breeders who help with Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

Make Minor Adjustments to Improve The Performance of Your Windows XP System
There is no denying the fact that there have been many advanced operating systems so far, but there are users who are still comfortable with Windows XP. We have come up with certain techniques, which could be helpful for optimizing the disk performance of your Windows XP systems.
Few simple tweaks and you can have your system running smoothly as before. Read on, to find the tips to optimize your system.
Switch to NTFS
While installing your operating system, you would have come across file system like FAT, FAT 32 and NTFS. Which file system did you choose? If you would have chosen FAT or FAT 32, then we would say that you did not make a wise choice. NTFS is the latest and advanced file system, which is faster than FAT or FAT 32 and can manage the files in a better manner. However, it is never too late. You can change the format of file system to NTFS, to have better performance of your PC.
Files do not store themselves as such. Wherever the files find place in hard disk, they store themselves byte by byte. So, it is important to run a utility called 'defragment'. Running this utility will keep your hard disk free of clutter and it will be easy for the user to fetch the files faster. We would recommend you to defragment the hard disk on a weekly basis.
Switch off 'hibernation' mode
If you want to improve the performance of your hard disk, then it is advised that you switch off the hibernation mode of your hard disk. Steps to switch this mode off are:
Click on 'Start'àgo to Control PanelàPower Option Propertiesàclick 'Hibernate' tabàuncheck 'Enable Hibernation' box.
Disk errors
For the better performance of your hard disk, it is important to make sure that your hard disk is free of errors. This can be done by checking on the properties of the hard drive, there you will see a 'Tools' tab, under which you can find the tool for checking disk error. Run this tool and make your disk free of error.
These are the simple tweaks that you can perform, even if you are not technically strong. These tips will optimize the performance level of your hard disk and you can have a great experience with your PC.

New Trey Interview in The Believer Mag
Posted 4 years ago by pzerbo - 7 comments Link: http://phi.sh/b/4e0e0fd5
An outstanding, insightful new interview with Trey is now available in the July/August 2011 edition of The Believer magazine. An exceprt:
"Yeah, since Phish came back, I'll just walk around backstage and ask everybody, "What do you want to play?" and people will say, "Oh, I want to sing this or that, " until I have thirty or forty songs on a piece of paper. It's like the writing. The set lists are all over the place. A mess. Then we go out onstage and just forget about it. We give a set list to Chris every night and he just laughs and rips it up. We never even play the first song."

Hitting Up People for Money? Bad Idea.
"My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary," a reader named Deanna wrote. "Their dream vacation is to go to Hawaii. My sister, brother, and I would like to help, but don't have all the funds necessary."
Deanna asked, "Would it be tacky to solicit contributions to such a trip from their friends? We don't see how else they could afford it."
First, congratulations to your parents on having achieved this wonderful milestone in their life together. It's a happy occasion and a time for your family to celebrate. That said, it would be extremely tacky to ask their friends to chip in money for your parents to take a vacation.
If you want to give a big gift to your parents, that's between you and your siblings. But for you to ask their friends for money could be really embarrassing for your family. People are going to wonder (perhaps aloud) why your family can't live within its means and why your parents didn't save money for a vacation if it was so important to them to take one. Nobody passes around the hat to send people on vacation. The only time it's appropriate to ask friends, acquaintances or the community at large for cash contributions on behalf of your family is after a terrible trauma, combined with economic hardship, has befallen you.

Lift Line: Dollar Dayz Pond Skim
A Wet, Wild and Wacky End-of-Season Ritual in Sun Valley
More than 125 of the bravest, and perhaps craziest, skiers and riders in Sun Valley put their skills to the test last Sunday as they attempted to cross the pond in front of Carol's Dollar Mountain Lodge during the 3rd Annual Dollar Dayz Pond Skim event. Competitors were judged on skim, costume, splash and crowd cheer as they careened across, or into, the nearly 60-foot ice cold pond.
The rest of us were there as unapologetic gawkers.
We filled the air with "oohs" and "ahhs"…we gasped and cheered as competitors skied, boarded, slid, skidded and (sometimes) cartwheeled across the pond. The in-water crashes were spectacular and onlookers were not guaranteed to stay dry either–as many a pond-skim-gone-sideways ended up dousing the crowd in a water ski-worthy spray of water.
Luckily the sun was out, the beer was flowing and the BBQ grill was fired up with tasty treats as the crowd gathered to watch what has become one of Dollar's most anticipated events. It is also happens to be a great excuse for cross dressing!
This year's event was no exception as there was everything from geishas and aliens to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny barreling down the hill at full speed in an attempt to make it across the nearly 250,000 gallons of water with an average temperature of 34 degrees. A chicken was spotted amidst the ubiquitous sea of tutus, coconut shell bikinis and super hero capes. And the gorilla suit nearly cleared the crowd.
Best guess on your odds to make it across: 50 / 50. So whether you choose to skim or spectate, make sure not to miss this wacky event next year. And bring a towel!
Sorry you missed it? Live vicariously–that's what the rest of us did. Check out more Pond Skimming videos online, including the Making of the Pond from start to finish!

From memory this is the standard failure error in the acpi. You need to make a few scripts and files writeable by everyone, I think under /proc/acpi. There should be a helper application under the acpi configuration, it will ask for the root password and then make the necessary changes. Is it the Klaptop tool you're using? I think it used to be called Kacpi or something.

Researching Switching Gears to HHC - Entrepreneural Route - page 3
To all my colleagues: I have been lurking on the HH Forum lately. I am researching the possibilities in providing HH as a subcontract (vendor) to an exisiting HHC Agency. I am also researching the... Read More
0Feb 2, '03 by JNJKae et al above: You can do this. I was an independent ten years ago (and a foreigner to boot!) and was successful in my humble way.
You can do the Medicaid (Medi-Cal) paperwork. Just handle it as if it were a complex patient. Assess and set priorities for interventions and do these one at a time. Nurses are wonderful at complex tasks because we live our working lives doing just that.
As for finding clients this is where you need all those really creative nursing skills to come to your aid. You know how we all improvise when there is not the exact piece of equipment we need - just use this skill.
Agencies: Yes Kae, many children get their care thru agencies, but most kids do not get the amount of hours Medicaid allows because the agencies can't staff that much. Some kids don't get any nursing hours because there is no agency willing to take them on and the parents do not know what to do next.
My ideas for finding the clients: Contact the Regional Center (you can actually do some hours for them while finding your Medicaid client). Make an ally of the nurse at the Regional Center and she will want to help you and others fill the care needs for these kids.
Contact discharge planners at the nearest children's hospital or unit and talk with them. This may take a while, but quality networking is the way here.
Try contacting one of the web based sites where chronically sick people talk with each other and post so their friends know what is going on. I only know of caringbridge.com, but there must be others. Ask for help. Try talking with a mother of a child who gets nursing thru an agency. She may know of others.
Question every regulation you read; many can be 'accommodated' by an independent RN. The rules (in CA) say we can only do private duty Medi-Cal when an agency is unable to meet the needs. It's amazing how often this can happen when the family is 'high profile' (PIAs who can be wonderful to work with if you are 'their nurse') etc.
Try a discrete, quality advertisement in the LOCAL newpaper in the better class areas. I know one woman without any nursing qualification who has kept herself into her 60s with word-of-mouth referrals in this type of work. She just gets trained for each child as the parents did. She has a waiting list and impeccable references.
Let's keep brainstorming until all you quality nurses have empowered yourselves.
PM me if you wish for my small document on getting started with Medi-Cal in CA. (Need to find the client first).

Bacardi Superior is a white Rum spirit. Don Facundo Bacardi in Cuba established it in 1862, as he experimented with trying to make Cuban dark rum taste better! The result was a perfectly balanced mixing rum that neither overpowers nor disappears in your drink. It's light bodied, clear, smooth and dry with impressions of vanilla, almonds and tropical fruits. Bacardi is very versatile, which makes it a perfect component for many cocktail drinks. However, it's also good served straight at room temperature or poured over ice with a hint of lime. If you don't fancy making a cocktail then simply combine a shot of Bacardi with a mixer of your choice. Try cola, lemonade, orange juice or tonic. Bacardi rum has been partying for more than 150 years, so why not come and join the party! Please drink alcohol responsibly.

In Memoriam
1953 Nobel Prize - Acceptance
Stockholm, Sweden, 1953
The Nobel Prize for literature is an honor for me alike unique and unexpected and I grieve that my duties have not allowed me to receive it myself here in Stockholm from the hands of His Majesty your beloved and justly respected Sovereign.
I am grateful that I am allowed to confide this task to my wife. The roll on which my name has been inscribed represents much that is outstanding in the world's literature of the twentieth century. The judgment of the Swedish Academy is accepted as impartial, authoritative and sincere throughout the civilized world.
I am proud but also, I must admit, awestruck at your decision to include me. I do hope you are right. I feel we are both running a considerable risk and that I do not deserve it. But I shall have no misgivings if you have none.
Since Alfred Nobel died in 1896 we have entered an age of storm and tragedy. The power of man has grown in every sphere except over himself. Never in the field of action have events seemed so harshly to dwarf personalities. Rarely in history have brutal. facts so dominated thought or has such a widespread, individual virtue found so dim a collective focus. The fearful question confronts us; have our problems got beyond our control? Undoubtedly we are passing through a phase where this may be so. Well may we humble ourselves, and seek for guidance and mercy.
We in Europe and the Western world, who have planned for health and social security, who have marveled at the triumphs of medicine and science, and who have aimed at justice and freedom for all, have nevertheless been witnesses of famine, misery, cruelty, and destruction before which pale the deeds of Attila and Genghis Khan.
And we who, first in the League of Nations, and flow in the United Nations, have attempted to give an abiding foundation to the peace of which men have dreamed so long, have lived to see a world marred by cleavages and threatened discords even graver and more violent than those which convulsed Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. It is upon this dark background that we can appreciate the majesty and hope which inspired the conception of Alfred Nobel. He has left behind him a bright and enduring beam of culture, of purpose, and of inspiration to a generation which stands in sore need. This world famous institution points a true path for us to follow. Let us therefore confront the clatter and rigidity we see around us with tolerance, variety, and calm.
The world looks with admiration and indeed with comfort to Scandinavia, where three countries, without sacrificing their sovereignty, live united in their thought, in their economic practice; and in. their way of life. From such fountains new and brighter opportunities will come to all mankind. These are, I believe, the sentiments which may animate those whom the Nobel Foundation elects to honor, in the sure knowledge that they will thus be respecting the ideals and wishes of its illustrious founder.
