Advent in Music: Seven 'O- Antiphons' Time Again
They're sung one per day, at the Magnificat during vespers. They are very ancient, and extraordinarily rich in references to the prophecies of the Messiah.
The antiphons are very old, going back to the time of Pope Gregory the Great, around the year 600. They are in Latin, and are inspired by the texts of the Old Testament proclaiming the Messiah.
At the beginning of each antiphon, in order, Jesus is invoked as Wisdom, Lord, Root, Key, Star, King, Emmanuel. In Latin: Sapientia, Adonai, Radix, Clavis, Oriens, Rex, Emmanuel.
Read starting from the last, the Latin initials of these words form an acrostic: "Ero cras," meaning: "I will be [there] tomorrow." It is the proclamation of the Lord who comes. The last antiphon, which completes the acrostic, is sung on December 23, and the following day, with first vespers, the feast of the Nativity begins.
These antiphons have been plucked from obscurity by, unexpectedly, "La Civilt� Cattolica," the journal of the Rome Jesuits that is printed after review by the Vatican secretariat of state.
Also unusual is the place of prestige given to the article illustrating the seven antiphons, written by Fr. Maurice Gilbert, director of the Jerusalem branch of the Pontifical Biblical Institute. The article opens the pre-Christmas issue of the magazine, in the spot usually reserved for the editorial.
In the article, Fr. Gilbert illustrates the antiphons one by one. He demonstrates their extremely rich references to the texts of the Old Testament. And he points out one special feature: the last three antiphons include some expressions that can be explained only in the light of the New Testament.
The antiphon "O Oriens" for December 21 includes a clear reference to the Canticle of Zechariah in Chapter 1 of the Gospel of Luke, the "Benedictus": "The daybreak from on high will visit us to shine on those who sit in darkness and death's shadow."
The antiphon "O Rex" for December 22 includes a reference to a passage from the hymn to Jesus in Chapter 2 of the letter of Paul to the Ephesians: "That he might create in himself one new person in place of the two [Jews and pagans]."
The antiphon "O Emmanuel" for December 23, finally, concludes with the invocation "Dominus Deus noster": an exclusively Christian invocation, because only the followers of Jesus recognize the Emmanuel as the Lord their God.
Here, then, are the complete texts of the seven antiphons, in Latin and in translation, with highlighting of the initials that form the acrostic "Ero cras," and in parentheses the main references to the Old and New Testament:

Chiesa is a wonderful source on all things Catholic in Europe. It is skillfully edited by Sandro Magister. SANDRO MAGISTER was born on the feast of the Guardian Angels in 1943, in the town of Busto Arsizio in the archdiocese of Milan. The following day he was baptized into the Catholic Church. His wife�s name is Anna, and he has two daughters, Sara and Marta. He lives in Rome.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Do you think Pelosi will succeed? Fred
-----Original Message-----
Looks possible. Up to the blue dogs and there are lots of efforts right now
to pressure them to oppose. As always she will not bring it to the floor if
she doesn't have the votes. Looks like Friday or even Saturday.
What You Can Do
You can help these Democrats make up their minds. Demonstrations are
already scheduled in two of these Democrats' districts, and two more are in
the planning stages. Here are the two planned protests.

We urge everyone who can make it, to attend these demonstrations to show
that Texans OPPOSE Pelosi's health care takeover bill. Even if you do not
live in these districts or cannot get to these protests, you can get
involved by writing letters to your local newspaper editors urging that your
Congressional Representatives listen to the voice of Texas and VOTE AGAINST
this health care bill. Call in to your local talk radio shows and make a
firm, clear case against the bill. Especially if you are a health care
professional or a veteran, your letter and your phone call will carry great
weight with the public and with those three undecided Democrats.

Readers of this blog know that we credit the greater availability of data on entrepreneurship for the healthy race to build the best start-up ecosystem that is going on around the globe. By revealing weak areas in a country's entrepreneurship ecosystem and enabling cross-country comparisons, data can yield important implications for economic and regulatory policy.
Is the third time really the charm? A bipartisan group—U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.), along with Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.)—recently introduced Startup Act 3.0, aiming to revitalize the economy by making it easier to start and grow new firms.
Thousands of people from 135 countries have already confirmed their participation for next month's week-long Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) and festival in Rio de Janeiro. As chair of the GEC for the past few years, I have witnessed the emergence of this global platform for collaboration among entrepreneurs, their investors and national leaders held outside the United States. So what happens at the GEC?
More than 20 years ago, MTV launched the reality TV genre by throwing a group of strangers together in the same house to live and work. The show started in New York and has been filmed in 27 cities since. While Kansas City never had a chance to "find out what happens when people stop being polite... and start getting real" it is getting something even better—and certainly much less annoying—the Brad Feld's KC Fiberhouse.
Clear your schedule for the rest of the week if you plan on tracking all of the relevant congressional committee hearings. The "House side" of Capitol Hill is particularly busy with hearings on the budget and monetary policy with Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke, the impact of e-verity on immigration, broadband stimulus, regulatory hurdles and more.

The newest installment of the Kauffman Sketchbook video series tells the great American success story of an immigrant entrepreneur who starts with very little yet achieves great things. The video features Gururaj "Desh" Deshpande, an Indian American venture capitalist and entrepreneur, who is co-founder of the Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation at MIT and the Deshpande Foundation.
In his State of the Union Address next week, President Obama will shift gears back to job creation after his inauguration speech focused on wider themes. As the debate about how the government can help the economy regain its pre-recession strength enters a new phase, the Kauffman Foundation's annual "State of Entrepreneurship Address" last week in Washington, DC, focused on how financial constraints have been blocking the success of new and young firms that create most of the net new jobs.
On the heels of the Kauffman Foundation's State of Entrepreneurship Address, a couple of Congressional committees are taking a closer look at the economy. The House Small Business Committee is conducting a hearing on The State of the Small Business Economy that will focus on "current economic indicators that measure the health of the economy, with a specific focus on access to capital… (and) general economic concerns that small business owners will face in the coming year." Meanwhile, the House Budget Committee will explore the Congressional Budget Office's budget and economic outlook with CBO director Douglas Elmendorf and the Senate Budget Committee will look at the budget and economic outlook over the next 10 years. Other hearings include: comprehensive immigration reform, applications for IT research and development; innovation in education; manufacturing in American; outlook on energy and a review of the government's approach toward unemployment.

review by Julie
The Good, The Bad, The Weird 2008
Julie's review:
I wanted to watch this movie a second time, immediately after it ended. Pure cinematic entertainment. I think the proper phrase is, "a rollicking good time". I found it to be a genuinely funny, earnest homage to the spaghetti western (even seeing it referred to as a "kimchi western").
Aside from just being a lot of fun, the settings and cinematography are great, the score is perfect, and I really loved The Bad and The Weird (I'm not sure I ever really felt like I got to know The Good very well, but minor complaint).
20 Comments
Loved this too! One of my favorite films.
Love this movie! Jee-woon Kim tackles a different genre with almost every film he does so it's hard for me to pick a favorite of his, but this one would be high on the list.
Yea! I think I might watch it again this weekend. I have to give The Man From Nowhere a bit of a rest, so I guess this will do =)
@Mr. I actually haven't seen any of his other films. I only know of A Tale of Two Sisters and I Saw the Devil. I think I'm too much of a pussy for Asian horror, and (also generalizing) I was so traumatized after watching The Chaser that I think it will be another few years until I can watch another Korean thriller. I'm Korean! What is wrong with the cultural zeitgeist there! (That statement is very tongue-in-cheek but still =)
@Julie I have'nt seen A Tale of Two Sisters, but I would be the first to say how much of an amazing film I Saw The Devil is. It has a few problems, but it is a complex and gripping film. You should definitely give that one a go and I'd be interested to see what you think of it. Not an easy film to watch though.
Have you seen The Chaser? More heart attacks or fewer?
I should watch this, started to watch it and then had to do something, I need to watch it.
If you struggle with The Chaser, don't watch I Saw the Devil :), it's 20 times worse! I think it's a great film.
As for A Tale of Two Sisters - that has been my favourite Asian Horror film for a long time - I still jump and it still makes the hairs on my neck stand on end, after seeing it 5 times.
Have you seen Bedevilled?
@Julie Never saw The Chaser. I don't even know what it's about so I might try to go in with blind eyes.
@Mike Yea, I hope you like it! That's the problem with subtitles, it's hard to multitask =) And I won't say anything about The Chaser, since SilentJoe hasn't seen it...I did really like it though, I thought it was excellent (I even put it on my top 100) but I was pretty scarred for life. I can't really hang with all the horror lovers on this site. Like when I watched The Descent, for instance =) But every once in a while I do get in the mood for a good scare or creep out, so I will go to Two Sisters next. And nope, haven't seen Bedevilled.
@SilentJoe It's a ride. Enjoy =)
@Mike heh, I don't know about Bedevilled. Sounds real rapey.
@Julie: I don't know if I'd say I Saw the Devil has "more heart attacks" then The Chaser, but it's definitely more violent and gorier. Without going into spoiler territory, I just think there's certain characters you care more about in The Chaser that makes certain things more intense. I love both movies though.
Tale of Two Sisters can be disturbing, but it's hard to say because it's more psychological and I find in cases like this it's very subjective to the individual what they find disturbing in a film. I love this film as well.
Finally, one that you might want to watch as it has nothing to do with horror and it's another one I loved: A Bittersweet Life. I guess you would call it a gangster film of sorts... but describing as that might give you the wrong expectations of it... either way it's a damn good film.
Thanks Mr., good to know, re: I Saw the Devil. I think I will definitely watch it. Some day. Sisters too. It's funny, I feel like horror is overwhelmingly popular amongst all the Letterboxd users...everyone but me! I'm trying :) Cool, added Bittersweet to my watchlist. Man, I really need to go back to 3 discs at home, 2 just isn't cutting it.
@julie - Bedevilled is like that, Sorry. Go for Two Sisters (but don't watch the american one - it's terrible)
A Bittersweet life is in my collection, I think I'll give that one a go as well. -
@Mike: Added Bedevilled to the watchlist. lol
@ Mr. Dulac - Nice, i think you should enjoy it. I've not got to my World Cinema box yet, when I do I'll add some more, I've seen or should have seen.
@Julie have you seen the original Infernal Affairs?
haha I'm glad someone benefited from the rec =)
I don't avoid movies because they have difficult subjects (rape included). But seeing as I have a hard time with the thriller/horror genre anyway, I'm probably not going to go out of my way to watch one that seems like rape will be one of the main plot drivers. But appreciate the rec! Keep them coming!
I have seen Infernal Affairs. I really liked it, but it was a long time ago and before I was aware of Anthony Wong (who I LOVE), and I've been meaning to re-watch. Soon!
Anthony Wong is awesome. I only recently noticed that he's listed in the cast of Hard Boiled... I might have to use that as an excuse to watch it again.
Hah. And that is what it will take to actually get me to finish Hard Boiled - Anthony Wong =)
I've heard only positive things about this film. I guess I need to hurry up and watch it already.
I love this movie. Have recommended it to so many friends and everyone has loved it. I realized this year that we Asians love slapstick + cheesy violence. Must have something to do with our homelife...
This is something that I noticed particularly with The Host - especially the scene where the family is mourning, but in this crazy hilarious way.
Also, my statement about being Korean was misleading; I was adopted as a baby, so watching Korean films is my intro to Korean culture! =)

Occupation: Owner, Truman Taylor Insurance Agency Inc. Education: Baylor University, B.B.A Legislative Experience: House Member, 2003 - 2012; Senate Member, 2013 - present Hometown: Friendswood Party: Republican
Senator Larry Taylor represents Texas Senate District 11, comprised of portions of Brazoria, Galveston, and Harris Counties. A native Texan, Larry attended Baylor University where he received his BBA in 1982. He and his wife Kerri are the proud parents of three adult children. Larry owns Truman Taylor Insurance Agency in Friendswood, an independent agency started by his father more than 50 years ago.
Senator Taylor serves as Vice Chairman of the Senate Business and Commerce Committee and as a member of the Senate Education, Government Organization, Health and Human Services, and Intergovernmental Relations Committees. Lieutenant Governor Dewhurst also chose him to represent Texas on The Energy Council; an honor he previously held as a state representative.
Since his election to the Texas Senate, Senator Taylor has been named to several key leadership positions by Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst. Most recently, he was called upon to co-chair the Joint Interim Committee on Coastal Barrier Systems and to serve on the Texas Windstorm Insurance Legislative Oversight Board, of which he was also a member during his time in the Texas House of Representatives. He is also a recent appointee to both the Joint Interim Committee to Study Education Policy for a Skilled Workforce and the Legislative Committee to Review the Lottery and the Texas Lottery Commission.
Before his election to the Texas Senate in 2012, Senator Taylor served five terms in the Texas House of Representatives. During his tenure there, Larry served as the Chairman of the House Elections Committee, Co-Chairman of the Windstorm Insurance Legislative Oversight Board, as a member of the House Insurance Committee, the House Select Committee on Voter Identification and Voter Fraud, the Energy Council, and two terms as Chairman of the House Republican Caucus.
Senator Taylor is honored to have been named a "Taxpayer Advocate" by Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, a "Champion of Free Enterprise" by the Texas Association of Business, and a "Courageous Conservative" by the Texas Conservative Coalition. Locally, he was recognized as Galveston Daily News' "2011 Citizen of the Year" and named "Texas Legislative Champion" by the Sealy and Smith Foundation for his efforts to repair the University of Texas Medical Branch after Hurricane Ike.
One of the roles of which he is most proud is his longtime seat on the board of the Foundation for Hope Village. This organization supports the operation of Hope Village, a nonprofit residential and day program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

When last seen in 1989's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and DeForest Kelley were huddled around a campfire, singing ''Row, Row, Row Your Boat.'' Neither critics nor audiences were amused. The $52 million in ticket sales, less than half of what the previous Trek film had earned, seemed sure to send the Enterprise into permanent dry dock.
But, at the urging of ex-Paramount chairman Frank Mancuso, Nimoy dreamed up one last story line, which he took to Nicholas Meyer, director of the lively Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. His premise for what would supposedly be the Enterprise's final voyage: The Federation has begun peace negotiations with the warlike Klingons, when suddenly...With Meyer directing, the film began shooting April 16 under heavy secrecy. But this much is known: For much of the movie, Captain Kirk and Dr. McCoy (Kelley) are together in prison and George Takei's Mr. Sulu is separated from the crew. Nimoy's Mr. Spock discovers a Vulcan love interest in Kim Cattrall's Lieutenant Valeris. And there have been hints that political intrigue within the crumbling Klingon empire bears a prescient resemblance to recent events in the Soviet Union.
Even though the studio insists Star Trek VI, to be released Dec. 13, will be the original cast's last flight, the final day of filming was remarkably unsentimental. ''By the time we finished the last scene, which extended longer than we expected, there was a sense of irritation,'' Shatner says. ''We raised a glass of champagne, but everybody was actually a little antsy.'' Despite unconfirmed rumors of Kirk's demise, Meyer insists all the main characters survive. Which suggests that, the box office willing, it may not be all that final. As Meyer admits, ''In a funny way, once you've killed a character'' as he dispatched Spock in Star Trek II ''and brought him back to life, there is no such thing as a final ending.''

Leukemia Treatment At OHSU Knight Cancer Institute
We see patients with acute and chronic leukemia (AML, APL, ALL, CML, CMML and CLL).
Your first treatment for leukemia is by far the most important. At OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, you can expect to receive the best leukemia care available. You'll also have access to advanced treatments being developed in clinical trials for leukemia.
Leukemia Clinical Trials
Not all patients are cured with standard leukemia treatment, and some standard treatments have more side effects than you want to live with. If this is true for you, you might seek help through a clinical trial to treat your leukemia. Patients who participate in clinical trials have the first chance to benefit from leukemia treatments that have shown promise in earlier research. They also make an important contribution to healthcare by helping leukemia doctors learn more about the disease.

How to Understand Your Rabbit
Do you want to know how to understand your rabbit? If you do, then just read this article.
1Listen to the sounds your rabbit makes.
- Gentle grinding of teeth: This means your bunny is happy and content. He/she will often do this when you're petting him/her on one of their favourite spots; on his cheeks or forehead or behind the ears.
- Soft cooing: Another sound made by bunnies when they are happy and content.
- Loud thumping with back feet: Your bunny will do this when he is frightened. Sometimes he will thump to get attention or if he's angry. He may also do this when he is really happy. You will just have to read what you think his mood is.
- Hissing or growling: It's not difficult to understand that bunnies do this when they feel threatened or concerned. When your bunny growls or hisses, it is likely that he is preparing to attack by scratching or biting. Leave him alone until he calms down.
- Loud squealing: This means your bunny is in extreme pain or is very frightened. Never ignore this noise. Rabbits have been known to die of a heart attack when they are extremely frightened. Its not necessarily pain or fright, it could be if your male rabbit lives near any unspayed/unmated females and is not neutered and he is getting sexually frustrated with not being able to reach them.
- Honking: Your bunny might make a goose-like honk when it is annoyed or wants attention. If your bunny is not neutered they may make this when being amorous towards you or a soft toy.
Ad -
2Watch your rabbit for the following signs:
- Light nudging with the nose: This is your pet's way of greeting you and asking for attention.
- Chinning: Rabbits leave their scent (you will not be able to smell it) by rubbing their chin on anything they want to mark as their territory. This includes you!
- Licking: Your bunny may lick your hands and face while he is being petted. This also may be a sign that you are very special to him.
- Moving jaw as if chewing: This means he is content and relaxed.
- Eating his droppings: There is no need for you to be concerned if your bunny does this. It is natural and should not be discouraged. Rabbits need to digest some foods twice and they take these droppings directly from their bottoms. He might make a low pitched squeak when he does this.
- Pushing out bottom and tail: This means he is about to urinate.
- Binkies: If your rabbit jumps and twists around in the air while playing, actions sometimes called "binkies," (or happy hops) he/she is overjoyed and thoroughly enjoying life. Rabbits love doing this outside.
- Running around your feet: This means your bunny is excited to see you. Again, if not neutered this may mean your bunny thinks you are an acceptable mate.
- Tugging on your clothes: If your bunny tugs on your clothes, it is asking for attention. Your bunny also might ask for attention by trying to climb up your leg, or hopping onto your lap.
- Lunging: If your rabbit lunges at you, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't want you around.
We could really use your help!
voice disguises?
free gas?
hair care?
mousetrap cars?
- Bunnies love when you pet between their ears and scratch their neck.If your bunny gives you any signs of fright, annoyance, or wanting attention, do this and you'll probably be rewarded with the joyful sign of quiet tooth grinding.
- When your rabbit pushes your arm with slight force it is a "out of my way," or a "pet me!" Thing but respond to it because it could end up into a, I'm not waiting nip.
- If your rabbit starts running around, it means he is enjoying his freedom.
- If your rabbit hops a few steps away, remains with its back to you, isn't occupied with anything else, and occasionally turns its head to see if you are still watching it, it is offended at something you've done. You can apologize by feeding it a treat, or giving a couple of pets on the head. (You can also repeat this act to your rabbit if it does something to offend you. It will most likely come by to apologize, either with a few kisses or quick bumps.)
- If your bunny or rabbit runs away from you just let him or her sniff you then you will be able touch him or her.
- If your bunny nips at your ankles for attention, you can train him to stop by walking out of the room whenever he or she does this. Reward more polite behavior by petting him, talking to him, or giving him treats.
- Your bunny might do this sometimes, if you jump he might jump too.
- If your male or female rabbit appears to mate with your foot, he or she is trying to gain dominance of you. In return, you should remove the rabbit and push his or her head to the ground. Hold it there for 5 seconds or so. Never press too hard, as bunnies' bones are very fragile, and get hurt very easily.
- If your rabbit is sitting in a corner, staring blankly out of the window, it may mean he wants some freedom. Let them run around outside. This will make them happy.
- Never yell and scream around your rabbit, it might scare it.
- If you want to give your bunny non-rabbit treats such as fruit, please research to make sure it is rabbit safe.
- A loud tooth grinding sound, very different from the gentle tooth purr of happiness described above, is sign that your rabbit is in pain. If you hear this sound, check your rabbit for signs of obvious external injury and contact your rabbit's veterinarian immediately. Your rabbit may have a life threatening injury or internal issue that needs to be addressed right away.
- If you have two rabbits (one male and one female), and the male starts grunting, move him immediately; unless you are attempting to breed them. A grunting male is a sure sign that he is attempting to mate or breed with the female.
- If one rabbit appears to be mating with another's head, this is a territorial display, and could lead to a fight. Both male and female rabbits exhibit this behavior.
- If your unspayed female rabbit begins pulling out the fur on her stomach, and gets antsy when you try to pick her up, she is either pregnant, or having what is called a "false pregnancy." Don't discourage this, pick her up or force her out of her cage, at the price of her distrust of you. She will eventually stop this behavior, but may start again at any given time. The best solution is to have her spayed.
- If two same-gender rabbits start circling each other, it signals a fight; If two opposite-gender rabbits circle each other, it probably means they are about to mate. Separate them either way if you don't want baby bunnies.
- Female rabbits are much more likely to get uterine or ovarian cancer if they are unspayed.

I think I still have some...let me see, yes! still do. Daylight sensitive. In florida the vines grew and grew and then precisely on the fall equinox BAM! they started to flower (pretty blossoms!) They will want quite warm temps to germinate. I am horrible about getting stuff in the mail, but if you send me a self-addressed envelope, I'll send some winged bean. Okra sounds nice, as long as it's open pollinated. |

To the GW member who asked a question privately, due to your settings, I can't reply privately, so I'm posting here. Yes, I suspect that daylight sensitivity may be the problem. I was very surprised how long I had to wait for the winged bean to flower & produce pods. As long as the vines are growing vigorously, I wouldn't worry about it. When they do come in, they yield well. There is a non-daylight sensitive variety which you can probably get from ECHO seeds. If anyone has that variety, I'd be very interested in obtaining some. |

That's a gerat news, maybe you (+spyderous) could write a project xml page in the -desktop-research project directory, to sum up all this and make it trackable? Even if you're starting a new seperate project, the discussions have emerged from -research, and I think it's very important that you stick with the rules we wrote together ( http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/research/manifest.xml ). This will help give credit to the team, thank the effort, and avoid the new installer project to disapear like so many others have, because lack of written summary, and too fast development. It'll also proove that the installer team have organizational capabilities. So please commit in xml/htdocs/proj/en/desktop/research a new xml project file called gentoo-installer.xml (for example), where you list the people that researched on the topic (in the -research area), the conclusions you made, and end up with the creation of the new -installer team. There is already a similar page for gentoo-config tools page. It's not a matter of ego, l33tness, or clans war. It's about keepig track and history of the things, and learning together.

CDC PR Machine in Overdrive with Flawed MMR/Autism Study
CDC Misses Target With Flawed MMR/Autism Study
NAA says: Wrong Question Asked. Wrong Children Studied. Wrong Conclusions Reached.
Nixa, MO – A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study released today claims there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism. The National Autism Association (NAA) says this study does nothing to dispel the growing public concern over a vaccine-autism connection and raises several questions concerning design and methodology.
For years, parents have claimed that MMR triggered their child's subsequent GI (gastrointestinal) disease and autism. In a 2002 paper where the majority of autistic children were found to have measles in their intestines, the children examined showed a clear temporal link between MMR exposure and regression. The CDC's attempt to replicate the 2002 study fell far short of proving the safety of the MMR vaccine.
The CDC study was designed to detect persistent measles virus in autistic children with GI problems. The assumption being if there is no measles virus at the long delayed time of biopsy, there is no link between autism and MMR. But NAA says this underlying assumption is wrong. The questions should have been: Do normally developing children meeting all milestones have an MMR shot, develop GI problems and then regress into autism? Do they have evidence of measles and disease in their colons compared to non-vaccinated age and sex matched controls?
In the current CDC study, only a small subgroup of children was the correct phenotype to study. From page 7, "Only 5 of 25 subjects (20%) had received MMR before the onset of GI complaints and had also had onset of GI episodes before the onset of AUT (P=0.03)." The other 20 autistic children in the study had GI problems but the pathology developed before the MMR vaccine. Additionally, the controls all received the MMR vaccine and had gastrointestinal symptoms. The controls should have been free of exposure to vaccine measles in order to make a comparison relevant for purposes of causation.
Inflammatory bowel disease in the absence of MMR RNA does not mean that MMR shot didn't precipitate the GI disease and didn't precipitate autism. A similar example would be rheumatic fever where the infection is cleared quickly but damage to the heart and/or brain last a lifetime.
Public confidence in the safety of vaccines is at risk until safety studies are performed that are required by law, ethics, and science. NAA calls for a vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated study comparing all health outcomes including autism. The CDC is in charge of vaccine safety, owns patents to vaccines (according to a UPI Investigative Report from 2003) and is in charge of promoting vaccines. The public should demand that vaccine safety be taken away from an agency with such conflicts and support HR#1973, the Vaccine Safety and Public Confidence Assurance Act."
For further analysis, click here.
The vaccine-autism debate will not end until CDC releases data on the health of unvaccinated children or performs the safety studies required by ethics and science. If, as the science seems to demonstrate, vaccines cause an unacceptable level of chronic diseases such as autism, then appropriate alterations or accommodations for susceptible children can be made. Until such time, public confidence in vaccines, so vital to public health, hangs in the balance.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 So let's press on to maturity, by moving on from the basics about Christ's word. Let's not lay a foundation of turning away from dead works, of faith in God, | 1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, |
2 of teaching about ritual ways to wash with water, laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment—all over again. | 2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. |
3 We're going to press on, if God allows it. | 3 And God permitting, we will do so. |
4 Because it's impossible to restore people to changed hearts and lives who turn away once they have seen the light, tasted the heavenly gift, become partners with the Holy Spirit, | 4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, |
5 and tasted God's good word and the powers of the coming age. | 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, |
6 They are crucifying God's Son all over again and exposing him to public shame. | 6 if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. |
7 The ground receives a blessing from God when it drinks up the rain that regularly comes and falls on it and yields useful plants for those who farm it. | 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. |
8 But if it produces thorns and thistles, it's useless and close to being cursed. It ends up being burned. | 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. |
9 But we are convinced of better things in your case, brothers and sisters, even though we are talking this way—things that go together with salvation. | 9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case--things that accompany salvation. |
10 God isn't unjust so that he forgets your efforts and the love you have shown for his name's sake when you served and continue to serve God's holy people. | 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. |
11 But we desperately want each of you to show the same effort to make your hope sure until the end. | 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. |
12 This is so you won't be lazy but follow the example of the ones who inherit the promises through faith and patience. | 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. |
13 When God gave Abraham his promise, he swore by himself since he couldn't swear by anyone greater. | 13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, |
14 He said, I will certainly bless you and multiply your descendants. | 14 saying, "I will surely bless you and give you many descendants." |
15 So Abraham obtained the promise by showing patience. | 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. |
16 People pledge by something greater than themselves. A solemn pledge guarantees what they say and shuts down any argument. | 16 Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. |
17 When God wanted to further demonstrate to the heirs of the promise that his purpose doesn't change, he guaranteed it with a solemn pledge. | 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. |
18 So these are two things that don't change, because it's impossible for God to lie. He did this so that we, who have taken refuge in him, can be encouraged to grasp the hope that is lying in front of us. | 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. |
19 This hope, which is a safe and secure anchor for our whole being, enters the sanctuary behind the curtain. | 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, |
20 That's where Jesus went in advance and entered for us, since he became a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. | 20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. |

MediaMobile Taps TomTom for Traffic Info on German DAB+ Network
Stuttgart - Jun 17, 2013 - Mediamobile has signed a new partnership agreement with TomTom, a supplier of navigation products and services. TomTom will contribute traffic information for MediaMobile's nationwide traffic service, which is broadcast over its V-Traffic DAB network.
German motorists can look forward to receiving traffic information over a data channel with 400 times the capacity of traditional RDS-TMC services. The information is transmitted directly to motorists' navigation or infotainment systems, helping them to travel smarter, to save fuel and to drive safely. The service is offered on a lifetime basis - a value-for-money proposition with no additional subscription or connection costs on top of the initial fee included in the equipment purchase price.
Mediamobile's V-Traffic DAB traffic service is broadcast over the DAB network using the TPEG protocol. The service has two key components: Traffic Alerts (TEC) inform drivers of events such as accidents, road closures and roadworks; Traffic Flow Information (TFP) provides accurate vehicle travel speed information covering 190,000 kilometres of Germany's major roads.

This is one page I have had to update and now finally re-write, as treatments using Medical Cannabis for anxiety and insomnia have changed a lot.
I mention insomnia together with anxiety because as we are all aware, they are closely related. When anxiety worsens during the day, the sleep problem is often manifested as difficulty staying asleep. Medically, it is called EMA or Early Morning Awakening. It is so painful for patients to be anxious, exhausted and waking up when it is still dark. By dealing with anxiety during the day, the insomnia just gets much better.
The problem, as an Internist, with the complexity of having to deal with daytime anxiety and/or sleep disturbances related to anxiety, is that common tranquilizers and "SSRI" type drugs have a lot of side effects and are largely addicting.
Further, both the smoking issue itself has always plagued using cannabis during the day as well as the patient always taking the chance he/she will get stoned. So, the ultimate solution needs to be:
1. Non-Smoking
2. Non-psychoactive
The solution is finally here from a number of collectives in the State of California. Dosed CBD or Cannabidiol Rich Whole Plant Extracts. These are strains of cannabis that do rarely occur naturally in nature, but have to a large degree been bred out, as they have no psychoactivity.
As the value of CBD rich plants has become very clear in recent years, there are a number of collectives that now grow and create CBD rich Extracts of varying ratios of cannabinoids (CBD, THC, 90 or so others) creating whole plant extracts that can be taken orally or sublingually.
Just two mg of whole plant rich CBD taken under the tongue twice daily is generally enough to treat anxiety. I would suggest making certain that for a PURE anxiety state without much depression, the lowest amount of THC is generally best.

Wouldn't it be great to have a jolly, old elf pop in and edit your manuscript for you?
A little holiday cheer, for all you writers out there:
The Write Before Christmas
[Yes, Virginia, I wrote this myself.]
'Twas the cusp of the holidays
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even her mouse
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard with care
Desperately seeking a masterpiece there
Her children all finally upstairs in bed,
The Writer tried to set free the dreams in her head
With her coffee grown cold
And a quilt on her lap,
She wrestled in vain
With a writer's great trap
For from her stilled keyboard
Came no further clatter
Writer's block, she knew,
Was the heart of the matter
Distraught, to the window she flew like a flash
Tossing another page into the trash
The glow from her monitor lit up the room
Imparting a sheen of frustration and gloom
When what to her wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh, all laden with gear
With a spry little driver, so lively and quick
Great Heavens, she thought, could this be St. Nick?
Swifter than rejection letters his reindeer they came
And the dapper little man called each one by name
"Now, Character Development! Now, Tone, Voice, and Diction!
On Dialogue, Plot, Word-Choice, and Flash Fiction!
To this stumped writer's keyboard at the end of the hall!
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
As writing professors with their red pens do fly
When they tear through an essay offending the eye,
So straight to her manuscript the proofers they flew
With their sleigh full of gear and St. Nicholas, too
Nitpicky hooves clattering, Dialogue muttered "Oof,
If I'd written this tripe, I'd throw myself off the roof!"
Nick smiled at the Writer, joined his proofers at work.
"Don't mind Dialogue," he whispered, "Sometimes he's a jerk."
The Writer withdrew to a spot in the back
Watching the reindeers clackety-clack
Nick wore a tweed sportcoat, with natty, patched elbows
Enormous bifocals perched atop his snub nose
His fingers were tarnished with toner and ink
He turned with a smile, gave the Writer a wink
His eyes, how they raced through her work at top speed
His fingers so dexterous, doing their deed
His brow, how it furrowed at each pesky 'graf
"I'm sorry, " the Writer said. "It's just my first draft."
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave her to know she had nothing to dread
"All that this manuscript needs, my poor dear,
Is a bit more attention here, here, and here."
He polished each page, worked the point of view over
While his cloven-hoofed proofers munched on some clover
Nick checked both thesaurus and worn dictionary
When at last he was done, his face looked quite merry
"There, now! Just read the feedback I've left.
You'll find the suggestions I've made are quite deft.
You've got potential, tho' I'd watch out for trope
Keep up the good work, and don't ever lose hope.
Like really good stews, manuscripts need to simmer.
So dump that stale coffee, go heat up your dinner.
The more you stare at it, the harder it is:
Sometimes writer's block is just part of our biz."
And handing her the new Chicago Manual of Style,
He chortled and winked and turned with a smile.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And they left her small office with the speed of a missile.
But she heard Nick exclaim, ere they drove out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good write!"

how soon could I plant them outside? I'm thinking in terms of size: then they are 6 inches tall? When they have 2 sets of leaves? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tomatoes benefit from deep transplanting. Bury them up to the first leaves and then they sprout new roots all along the stem, giving them the advantage of a greater ability to draw up water and nutrients. If you started them now, you should be able to put them out in 5 to 6 weeks, if you are aiming for soonest. I'd plant them now, transplant into bigger p then I'd transplant them one time before transplanting out. Here are tomato seedlings 4 weeks, 4 days old (seeded 23 January). Here's them a week and a half ago, when I transplanted densely-seeded sprouts into pots at three weeks old from seed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tomato seedlings at three weeks

Thanks. I'm specifically interested in growing Sungold (since they get such raves here), so if the nursery doesn't have seedlings tomorrow, I'll buy a pack of seeds and try starting them myself. Thanks for the encouragement, and wish me luck! |
I find the key is keeping the heater pad thing under them the whole time. Consistent temperature is important. Also, plant 2 seeds in the bottom inch of a ~3-4 inch pot, keep the first sprout, pull out the second (ouch), fill dirt as the plant grows. Not disturbing the root "at all" plus the heat will get you real nice plants in 4-6 weeks. |
- Posted by yumtomatoes 10a/FLA (My Page) on Fri, Feb 24, 12 at 22:53
Are you in zone 10? If so, it may be too late to start seeds even for cherry tomatoes like Sun Gold. You can try and see what happens. |
The only place I've seen Sungold in plant form vs seeds is at my whole foods grocery store here in Austin. If you have one near you maybe you can grab a plant tomatotomata. They were 1 feet tall. I put mine nice and deep into the ground. |
You can buy Sun Gold plants at Territorial Seed, but they don't start shipping until the first half of April. You'd be better off growing from seed. |
I live where its a zone 11 like climate and now would be way too late to start seeds and I would imagine zone 10 would be too late as well... but not sure... |

Oct 18, 2011 12:06 PM by Dax VanFossen (KAJ News)
KALISPELL- The best way to start a traffic jam on a Montana highway is to have a tree full of bears near a major highway, and that's just what happened on Monday near Whitefish when a a mamma bear and her four cubs spent much of the day up a tree just off U.S. Highway 93.
The whole spectacle began around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday and lasted well into the evening as nearly 200 people coming home from work stopped to get a look at around 5 p.m., hours after the bears climbed up the tree for safety.
Law enforcement authorities probably having more issues dealing with onlookers and people trying to take photographs, then having to actually deal with the bears themselves.
Everyone and their family members clammored over each other to get a look at one of Montana's favorite sights, but FWP Bear Manager Eric Wennum says, they don't realize they aren't doing the bears any favors.
"No, not at all, and of course the longer they sit, the more stressed they are and especially the cubs of the year, and we've already got one that's on the ground, simply because of sheer exhaustion, he's up the tree all day, he can't hold on to the tree any longer. He's got to come down, you know, it puts him at risk, because now there's a whole variety of cars, people and what not, it's not good for the bears at all,": Wennum explained.
Wennum and the Montana Highway Patrol stayed on the scene for hours in the hopes that the mother would climb down the tree with her cubs at dark and lead them to safety, but Wennum told us, what people have to understand, is the danger that people caused themselves.
"Our biggest concern is public safety, We've got hundreds of cars going through here, we've got 50 or 60 cars backed up, people stopping in the middle of the road, people taking up multiple lanes of traffic. You know I understand the novelty of seeing a couple of bears up in a tree off the highway, but at the same time people have to understand that we can't have them stopping in the middle of a high speed highway."
Wennum told us the cars keep piling up and the bears continue to get more and more exhausted, but as darkness fell the cubs began to come down, and the Montana Highway Patrol kept people from parking along the highway. FWP said the mother also came down and the bears were safe.
