Chris Huhne, the UK energy secretary, will tomorrow announce the details and scope of the government's consultation on electricity market reform (EMR). The bill will come before parliament in the spring, but tomorrow's announcement is expected to give some indications of the direction of government thought on certain key issues.
Huhne will be answering your EMR-related questions on this blog next week – email email@example.com by Friday, December 17th to pose your question. Meanwhile, here is what the energy industry wants to see ahead of the tomorrow's release:
Sara Vaughan, head of UK policy at Eon: Low-carbon obligation
We need clarity from the government on a future market framework that will enable us to invest in low carbon generation. We favour some sort of low carbon obligation (LCO) or other similar measure that incentivises clean power over cheap power by requiring suppliers to contract for low carbon capacity for a given percentage of their demand.
Nick Molho, head of energy policy at WWF: Emissions performance standard and CCS
An emissions performance standard was a key pre-election pledge from [David] Cameron, and WWF strongly believes this should remain a priority for the government. This is a vital component in building a future where we gain most of our energy needs from renewables, as opposed to polluting unabated coal and gas stations.
Any financial incentive scheme that is introduced as a result of the EMR should focus exclusively on new and emerging low-carbon technologies, especially marine renewables, as opposed to technologies such as nuclear that have been around for decades, do not provide any economic benefits to the UK and represent a significant environmental hazard to the UK.
Ronan O'Regan, director, PwC renewables and clean tech: New nuclear with balanced incentives
The underlying theme is how to get new nuclear power stations built in the UK. But we also need to ensure that we don't inadvertently favour one technology over another. If it turns out that the reforms make nuclear wholly bankable, you could end up finding that capital shifts away from offshore wind.
Bill Weil, partner, Ludgate Environmental Fund: Clarity on feed-in tariffs
We need to hear what the plan is on feed-in tariffs. When are the levels, what could trigger a review of those levels, and what is the timeline? What we don't want is the uncertainty of wondering whether the stairs are going to fall out from under us.
Juliet Davenport, CEO, Good Energy (100% renewable electricity provider): Zero-carbon aim and secure carbon price
Encouraging low carbon solutions is not enough. It needs to be aiming for a zero carbon energy market with a transparent support mechanism for all low-carbon technologies through the feed-in tariff. It also needs to ensure storage and demand side solutions are included in any capacity support mechanism. And this must be underpinned by a long-term, secure carbon price.
Jeff Chapman, chairman, Carbon Capture and Storage Association: Premium tariff for CCS
Proposals to reward generators of low carbon electricity with a premium price is the right way forward and CCS must be included in this tariff. CCS will deliver low carbon electricity from fossil fuel and gives us flexibility in electricity generation to complement renewable technologies, a reformed electricity market should be designed to recompense all generators of low carbon electricity and reward fossil fuel plants for their flexibility.
Chris Stubbs, director at WSP Environment & Energy (consultancy): Gradual carbon floor price
It is crucial that the carbon floor price is introduced gradually so that existing high carbon plants aren't suddenly hit with a mega bill. The gradual introduction should be set out years in advance of the increases so that generators and investors can plan ahead. The government must establish a clear route map and stick to it, clear identifying the stages at which the carbon price will go up and by exactly how much.

Summary for this topic. Here's the list of propositions we need to discuss during the meeting: - There should be no vote by email. - There are by-email vote for casual stuff and in-meeting votes when it's important. However, council members are not allowed to vote by email for in-meeting votes in order to not encourage slacking. - We allow council members to vote by email on meeting votes after the meeting in case they couldn't attend it. - We allow council members to vote by email in advance when they know they won't be able to attend a meeting. In that case they are not considered as having missed the meeting. - Same as above and we allow those who voted by email to revise their vote after the meeting for a certain period of time (for example 48 hours after the meeting log is posted). Denis.

"We had leftover rolls from a party and I hate to throw them out - and freezing them to use for sandwiches later doesn't always work well. So, I searched on Zaar and found this recipe. I made it last night and spread the garlic butter on the rolls and wrapped them up to in foil (and froze some extra for later). My son came home an hour later and..."
"These muffins were great! I made them for Mother's Day and everyone loved them. I made a mistake while mixing and put 1/3 cup of lemon juice into the batter instead of 1 Tbsp. I was afraid the batter would be too thin, but it was fine. Easy recipe with great results. I'll definitely be making them again!"
"WOW! This was excellent! I made 2 separate recipes to try them out and this one was just a little bit better than the other. I think the sour cream made the difference. Great taste and texture."
"This was a very good and easy banana bread recipe. I used a glass loaf dish, which may have contributed to it being a little more well done (bottom 1/2" was browner than rest of loaf). Very tasty - thanks!"
"This was very good! I made this yesterday after making applesauce in the crockpot on Sunday (#45633). The only change I made was to use some garlic powder instead of minced due to time constraints. It needed when I ate it, but had great flavor and was still moist. Thanks! I've been perusing the year of crock pot cooking blog myself!"
"Very tasty! I ended up cutting up a london broil and doing this in the crock pot. I left bigger pieces of onion so DS could pick them out and reduced the soy and worcestershire sauce a little - used 1/2 cup red wine. After cooking all day, I removed the meat and put the gravy into a saucepan with some flour and water to make a thicker gravy. A..."
"I was really surprised at this! I did it with 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and used a large stock pot. I've been using it on salads this week and it's good. Next time I'll try it with skin on and see the difference.Thanks!"
"WOW! Just adding to the rave reviews. I made this last night and my son and I loved it! I had the boneless/skinless chicken soak all day while I was at work and only used 1 Tbsp of Tobasco sauce and didn't use the onion. I used panko breadcrumbs and less than 1/4 cup butter. Mine still took about 50 minutes. I'll definitely be making again i..."
"Really good recipe! I got it from the member cookbook for uses for OAMC Taco Chicken - #4957. I made a few changes - I used onion salt instead of chopped onions and celery, added extra chicken broth as others suggested, used just under 1/4 cup of wing sauce - didn't want it too hot - and added a big dash of cayenne. My son and I both loved this..."

Defence Information Structure
Mike Hancock (Portsmouth South, Liberal Democrat)
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many additional payments have been agreed with the contractors for the Defence Information Infrastructure project since the contract was issued; to whom such payments (a) have been made and (b) are to be made; how much has been paid and on what dates; and if he will make a statement.
Adam Ingram (Minister of State (Armed Forces), Ministry of Defence; East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow, Labour)
All payments in respect of Increment 1 of the DII contract are and will be made to EDS as the prime contractor for DII. Payments are made through the service delivery charges of the contract. These charges are commercially sensitive and cannot be disclosed.
A range of changes to the Defence Information Infrastructure programme have taken place since contract award in March 2005. A level of change was always expected and is allowed for under the provisions of the contract. In terms of the overall value of Increment 1 of the DII contract the value of these changes is not significant.

Man denies neglect of 11-year-old
BENNINGTON — A local man is being held on $5,000 bail after police said he neglected a developmentally-disabled, wheelchair-bound child who a doctor said was "critically ill."
Ralph Brown, 44, of Bennington, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to a felony charge of first-degree aggravated domestic assault and a misdemeanor charge of cruelty to a person in the care of another.
In an affidavit, Detective Anthony Silvestro, of the Bennington Police Department, said he was told about the child on April 19. At the time, the child was a patient at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire.
The child was taken to the emergency room of the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington on April 17 and then to Dartmouth-Hitchcock because he was hypoglycemic, dehydrated and in respiratory distress.
Brown, who had custody of the child from April 8 to April 17, told police he knew the child had been sick during that period. He also told Silvestro that he regretted not taking the child to see a doctor.
At Dartmouth-Hitchcock, an evaluation of the child was done and a resulting report found there was evidence of possible maltreatment and neglect because of poor hygiene, pressure ulcers and the dehydration.
Brown, who is currently being held in the Springfield jail was ordered on Monday not to provide care for any child younger than 18.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryPolice: Man robbed Full Story -

Ayn and Paul Sittin' in a Tree…
8:59 am in Uncategorized by Omnipotent Poobah
Paul "Mr. Weinermobile" Ryan has stepped up to the Veepstakes plate and taken a few tentative swings at his opponents. Of course, the punditocracy has already decided the election is now a dead solid Republican landslide or Democratic landslide or a wash, depending on their point of view for the next three minutes or when George Stephanopoulos asks an embarrassing question…whichever comes first.
It's far too early for reasonable predictions and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool or, well, a fool. However, there are some interesting details that may or may not be important in the end. Here is one of them:
Arch-Aynrandist Ryan is stepping away from his beloved Ayn (pronounced "eye-n" for the uncrapulists among you). This is particularly surprising since Ryan claims Ayn led him down the garden path of individualistic objectivism with the aplomb of Jerry Sandusky pied pipering little boys to his basement.
Queue the Bee Gees, 'How Deep is Your Love?'
In an ABC interview, Ryan professed his deep love, "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are. It inspired me so much that it's required reading in my office for all interns and my staff."
"The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand. And the fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism vs. collectivism."
It sounds like Ryan frenching Sarah Palin's lipsticked pig – any more tongue and we'd all choke on a river of pig spittle.
However, Ryan has learned the waffly ways of his Tea Party masters well and they fit with his titular boss's like a flip-flopping mitten.
"If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking," Rand wrote.
Ryan has spent many a year in a zero-reflection bubble. He is not given to "greater, nobler, more heroic thinking", despite his position in the pantheon of Great Republican Thinkers like New Gingrich.
Ryan's heroic thinking is blind to the notion that objectivism, or believing you're out for yourself and to hell with everyone else, is as flawed as Stalin shipping the peasants off to the collective (or cemetery should you have looked askance on his perfection).

Thanks, KWP :) |
Lowes!! Just found two varieties of P. edulis at our Lowes here in Brownsville, Tx... |
I have seen them at Home Depot, but it's been a few years. I got what I'm pretty sure is a P. edulis (unsure of variety, though) at an Oriental market on Josey, north of George Bush - but, it's not blooming, and just labeled "Passion Fruit." Looks like edulis, anyway. Home Depot has some plants with a P. edulis flavicarpa flower pictured on the tag, but the plant looks like some kind of P. incarnata cross, and the flowers are similar to incarnata. I didn't buy one, because I didn't know if I'd need to bring it in. The tag said it was hardy to 30'F - but it also said it was P. incarnata (hardy to at least 0'F) and the photo was clearly wrong, so I didn't really trust it. It wasn't a hybrid I recognize, but there are SO many these days! I've been working on building a collection of Passiflora that will survive our winters here in south Oak Cliff; I'm in a little micro-clime that gets just a touch colder than most of Dallas, but so far, I've got good hopes for the varieties I put in the ground this season, and the ones from last year are going gangbusters. So far, I've got something like fifteen kinds. I'm trying to keep to a minimum the ones that have to be babied in the house or garage over the winter, but I figure edulis is worth bringing in. In a dream world, I also want its pollen for eventual hybridization adventures... but that's not something I've done yet. I'd love to have a Passiflora buddy to trade and talk plants with - send me a message at oaken.king (at) gmail (dot) com if you'd like to visit some time, see what I'm growing, get some cuttings or starter plants. I have to rip out so many chunks of "Incense," "Constance Elliott," and incarnata, I just put them in pots and share with friends. |

Chocolate Zucchini Mini Cupcakes: Our New Favorite Healthy-ish Treat (Kids Cook Monday)
January 28, 2013 | Posted by Stacy under Cupcakes, Healthy eating at home, Healthy treats |
There's nothing like a little chocolate to add life to a party (or provide cause for celebration at the end of a meal). These chocolate zucchini mini cupcakes are winners for several reasons: First, they contain zucchini (which I don't hide from my kids but is not terribly noticeable for children with green food aversions). Second, they are small. Third, they are really quick and easy to make.
My 4-year-old daughter Reese helped make this batch. She shredded the zucchini (quite a feat given that her left arm is in a cast–and she is a lefty), stirred the sugar and egg mixture, helped measure the flours, and, of course, licked the spoon. The cupcakes would be even better with a few chocolate chips, natch. But they also are sweet and yummy enough on their own. I hope you enjoy them every bit as much as we do!
Chocolate Zucchini Mini Cupcakes
Adapted from Taste of Home
Yields: 36 mini cupcakes
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil (I use extra-light virgin olive oil)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cake flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 cup almond meal (if you need a nut-free recipe, use whole wheat pastry flour instead)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder (I use Dagoba)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups shredded zucchini
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, applesauce, oil and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flours, cacao, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and baking powder; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended. Stir in zucchini.
- Fill mini muffin cups about 3/4 of the way with batter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
One Response to Chocolate Zucchini Mini Cupcakes: Our New Favorite Healthy-ish Treat (Kids Cook Monday)
[…] Chocolate zucchini mini "cupcakes" Made with whole wheat flour and shredded zucchini, these are much less sinful than traditional frosted cupcakes but plenty sweet enough to please the kids. I put mine in mini muffin liners adorned with pink and red hearts. Add a Valentine's cupcake topper to up the cute factor. […]

After moving 438,000 downloads in its first week (the fourth-best-selling debut ever for a female artist), Ariana Grande's "Problem" is now officially a contender for the 2014 song-of-summer title.
But the 20-year-old pop star originally didn't think the swagger-fueled jam would be a single. "It was so different from me," says Grande, who had her breakout hit last year with '90s throwback "The Way," featuring rapper Mac Miller, and was best known before that for her roles on the Nickelodeon series Victorious and Sam & Cat. She decided to go with the Max Martin-produced track after getting some advice from her friend Big Sean. READ FULL STORY

On a drizzly evening in Tampa in 2006, 23-year-old Holly Jacobs was enjoying a typical date night with Ryan Seay, her boyfriend of a few short months. As the time to head home approached, he walked her to her car and reluctantly kissed her goodbye. She clung dreamily to the sweater Mr. Seay had given her earlier in the evening, when she'd said she was cold. As her car pulled out of Mr. Seay's driveway, she noticed it: a little heart that he had traced in the raindrops collected on her rear windshield.
Years later, when they'd finally broken it off for good, Ms. Jacobs, now 29, says that Mr. Seay did the unthinkable: He uploaded naked photos of her to the web. Photos that she'd sent to him in confidence. He allegedly posted them to scores of revenge porn sites, online hubs where scorned exes publish intimate photos without their former lovers' consent. She says he attached her name, email address and a screenshot of her Facebook profile to the nude photos along with commentary about what a slut she was. Knowing that she was working as a teaching assistant at a local university, he allegedly uploaded a video of her masturbating with the title "Masturbation 201 by Professor Holli Thometz."
Ms. Jacobs, who legally changed her name from her birth name "Holli Thometz" following the abuse, is just one of an untold number of women who have been victimized by revenge porn. But victims, at first afraid to speak out, are beginning to fight back against the distributors, proprietors and site hosts who comprise the revenge porn economy. In January, more than 23 women signed on to a class-action suit in Texas against the revenge porn website Texxxan.com and its host, GoDaddy.com. In Florida, where Ms. Jacobs lives, a law was recently proposed that would make the distribution and hosting of revenge porn a felony before last-minute amendments were tacked on and the bill was sidelined to temporary postponement, according to sources familiar with the situation.
To date, New Jersey is the only state with a viable revenge porn law on the books, and it stems from the infamous 2010 case of Rutgers student Tyler Clemente. The statute, 2C:14-9, makes it illegal for anyone to "disclose any photograph, film, videotape, recording or any other reproduction of the image of another person whose intimate parts are exposed or who is engaged in an act of sexual penetration or sexual contact, unless that person has consented to such disclosure."
On Thursday, April 18th, Ms. Jacobs became the first person in Florida to sue an ex for their alleged distribution of revenge pornography, according to her lawyer, Patrick McGeehan. She filed a civil suit in Miami-Dade County against Mr. Seay for invasion of privacy, public disclosure of private facts and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The suit (embedded below) alleges that Mr. Seay "published pornographic images and a video of the plaintiff as well as the plaintiff's name, occupation, details about her schedule and other personal and private facts about the plaintiff on various websites."
Lawyers and victims across the country are looking to her case as a model in the ongoing legal battle against revenge porn. After years of hiding in shame after her naked body was splashed across the web without her consent for strangers to ogle, she is finally coming forward to speak about her experiences. And for the first time, she's using her real name.
On New Year's Day 2009, Ms. Jacobs received a call from a friend who frantically told her she needed to log on to Facebook and change her password: someone had changed her typically harmless profile picture to a naked photo of her. When she logged on, the photo was gone. Emotionally rattled, she called and accused Mr. Seay, since he was the only person she had sent nude photos to, but he flatly denied it.
"From that day on, I Googled my name regularly just because I knew he was capable of this," she said.
Several months later, Ms. Jacobs was Googling herself at Florida International University, where she was working as a statistical consultant, and came across a cache of her naked photos on the website amihotornotnude.com. "I must have just turned white," she said. "My stomach just dropped and I felt ill and I told my boss, 'I have a personal issue that I need to go take care of'' and I ran out of there."
This time, her full name had been published alongside the photos. And there were tons of them.
Images kept cropping up, even as Ms. Jacobs scrambled to have webmasters scrub the photos from scores of sites. Even stranger, they seemed to multiply, as if he was Photoshopping and cropping the images to make it appear like there were more of them. Then the threats began.
Someone created a Yahoo address in her name and emailed her a collection of her photos. "Get in touch concerning your pictures. Theres also a nice video," the person wrote in an email timestamped 6:50 a.m. "Have [they] seen them?" Pasted below were the email addresses of Ms. Jacobs' co-worker and boss. Ms. Jacobs was terrified, but decided not to respond and eventually fell back to sleep. At 8:16 a.m., Ms. Jacobs received another email: "It's 8:15 where you are. You have until 8:37 to reply. Then I start the distribution."
That day, the anonymous person who had established an email address in her name sent the photos to her boss and co-worker. Three days later, he had uploaded them to scores of revenge porn sites. Her photos went viral.
Ms. Jacobs enlisted the help of a local counsel named David Seltzer, but the anonymous individual, whom Ms. Jacobs believes to be her ex, continued to torture her. Someone anonymously tipped off the university's HR department that "a professor is masturbating for her students and putting it online," explained Ms. Jacobs. The call landed her in the dean's office to explain the embarrassing incident. The aftermath eventually led her to quit her job.
Though she'd called the local police when the abuse first started, they told her that because she was over 18 when the photos were taken, there was nothing they could do for her. The campus police at her university took a report and sent it to the state attorney's office, but they refused to pick up her case. So Ms. Jacobs worked tirelessly to try to scrub the images of herself from the web. She filed DMCA takedown requests and created sites with positive information about herself in an attempt to push her pictures lower in search results.
"I worked like a dog getting all of them down," she admitted. "I got them all down except for some of the torrents. Within two weeks they went right back up on other sites."
By February 2012, Ms. Jacobs had had enough. She had lost years of her life fighting to erase the online pornographic trail her tormentor had created for her without her permission, and she was done. "I realized—this is what he wants me to do," Ms. Jacobs told Betabeat via Skype. "He wants me to spend all of my time taking down my Google results instead of moving on with my life and being free and being in a good relationship and getting my Ph.D. So I essentially said, 'Fuck it.'"
"I felt like the only thing I could do was part from that identity that had been completely defamed and I wanted to just get on with my life," Ms. Jacobs said.
One night the idea struck her to create End Revenge Porn, an online hub for victims and advocates to discuss revenge porn. She connected with women like professors Mary Anne Franks and Danielle Citron, former politician Charlotte Laws and lawyers Erica Johnstone and Colette Vogele, experts in the field who helped her hone her message. She also formed an unofficial support group with two other victims, Hollie Toups and Jane, the pseudonymous woman behind Women Against Revenge Porn. Now Ms. Jacobs' site, End Revenge Porn, is one of the most prominent platforms for resources for revenge porn victims, and Ms. Jacobs is working on establishing it as a nonprofit. Through the site, she's also collecting donations to help fund her anti-revenge porn efforts.
But the reign of terror continued for Ms. Jacobs even as her taste for activism grew. In August 2012, she was supposed to present her thesis at a conference for the American Psychological Association when someone—she believes it was Mr. Seay—published the date, time and location of the conference, alongside her naked photos. "They even had a summary of what my presentation was going to be on," she explained. "They said something like why don't you go check her out and see if she'll have sex with you for money because she's obviously out of a job."
For Ms. Jacobs, that was the final straw. She backed out of the conference, saying her safety was in danger, and was possessed with a renewed fervor to have her case picked up by the police. She and her mother charged Senator Marco Rubio's office, a move that eventually led her to meet with the Florida State Attorney's Office. "I went to that meeting and there were six people around the table and I just started crying because I was like, finally somebody is going to do something about this," she said. "And it was just a huge wave of relief."
A few weeks ago, Ms. Jacobs received word that a state attorney would take the case and charge Mr. Seay with cyberstalking, the first time a victim has ever filed a criminal suit against her ex for distributing revenge porn. Mark Cox, chief of investigations at the Florida State Attorney's Office, told Betabeat that the agency has filed a case to charge Mr. Seay with one count of stalking, two counts of harassment by use of personal identification info and one count of unlawful publication. The case is set for arraignment on June 3rd, and Mr. Seay faces a maximum penalty of four years in jail. Mr. Seay declined to speak with Betabeat, but his attorney, Charles Arline, said Mr. Seay denies all allegations and maintains he is just as much a victim in this as Ms. Jacobs is.
"I'm coming out because I'm tired of hiding," Ms. Jacobs said. "I'm tired of not knowing which name to give to who in my life. I want to live an honest life." As the first person to file a criminal complaint against her ex, Ms. Jacobs will undoubtedly become a lightning rod for the controversy revolving around revenge porn, and she wants to set an example for other victims who are struggling to find a way to put their lives back together.
"The fact that Holly is able to experience what she's experienced and use that to fight struck me as impressive," Mary Anne Franks, a law professor at the University of Miami who specializes in cyberharassment, told Betabeat by phone. "The experience is so disturbing and depressing, I can't imagine she could have the energy and courage to do what she's doing."
Still, Ms. Jacobs has a long way to go. She's been working with lawmakers in Florida to pass a bill that would make publishing revenge porn without a victim's consent a third-degree felony. The bill received an initial onslaught of support, but its debate in the House has been temporarily postponed. Ms. Jacobs hopes coming forward will help give lawmakers the extra push they need to put a revenge porn law on the books.
"I hope that I'll set an example and show this is how you overcome this: by coming forward," she said. "You're not exposing yourself—you're already exposed on the internet. Instead, you're exposing what is happening to you. Everybody's going to see me naked, and everybody's going to see me do things I never wanted anybody to see except the person I was with. But if it's in the name of the cause and to change the laws about this, then I'm happy to do it. We're all naked underneath our clothes."

It wasn't too long ago that Vitamin B12 injections could only be recommended by a doctor and only then for serious B12 deficiencies. With recent studies, however, showing that nearly 40% of the population has very low levels of vitamin B12, B12 injections have become increasingly popular as an efficient way to supplement one's diet.
The benefits of vitamin B12 are well known including increased energy, higher metabolism and improved cognitive functioning…but – because of the low absorption rates through the stomach – unless you plan on eating a bunch of liver or taking a dozen pills each day, you won't be able to get the same level of b12 in your bloodstream that an injection could.
Everyone knows that B12 is a great energy booster. Margaret Thatcher had weekly injections of B12 to sustain her famously high energy levels (along with Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, and countless sports starts). Margaret Thatcher apparently found the injections so useful that she had one on the morning she told her cabinet she was going to resign. (Coincidentally, the structure of B12, which has the essential mineral cobalt at its core, was discovered by Dorothy Hodgkin, who taught Lady Thatcher at Oxford).
Besides the metabolic benefits, Vitamin B12 is essential for the development and maintenance of red blood cells, and contributes towards healthy nervous and cardiovascular systems.
It basically works by enabling your red blood cells to carry oxygen more efficiently. A well oxygenated cell is also a healthy one….and one that won't tire quickly. As a result you'll see improved cognitive ability, more energy and even healthier skin. The only catch is that vitamin B12 isn't easily absorbed naturally by the body. So while there are a lot of foods that are rich in vitamin B12, you'd have to consume huge amounts of them (or vitamin b pills) in order to get the same benefit as taking a vitamin b12 injection once a week.
Vitamin B12 shots work because the injected B12 bypasses the intestines (where absorption rates are low) and goes directly into the bloodstream via the muscles (this is an intramuscular shot – NOT an intravenous one). Vitamin B12 injections for weight loss have also become increasingly popular because it's an easy way to boost your metabolisms…and it's the 1 vitamin that everybody thinks they're getting enough of but aren't.
Vitamin B12 shots are typically given every 2 to 4 weeks and are available at weight loss clinics and most doctors' offices. Doctors will require a full physical before recommending B12 shots and prices for shots can range from $50 to $100 a week. In recent years, self-administered B12 injection kits have gained popularity as a safe, inexpensive alternative.

In another thread I asked about mold on Valentine roses. I separated the plants in the basket and washed the roses in soapy water. They were quite root bound and water was not penetrating a portion of the soil. I got three tropicals and 8 roses. There is still a bloom on one and the scent is lovely.
Now all I have to do is keep the roses alive for 2 months until I can put them outside. I expect I'll have to wash them in soapy water at least once if not twice a week. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Good luck. |
The roses are still alive. At least half the leaves dried up and I trimmed them. I have been watching the water closely. I let them get a little dry and the leaves perked up when I gave them some water. So, the plants are responsive and some have new growth. I haven't had to wash them again; but, I am watching for bugs and mold. Only two months before I can plant them out. :) |
The roses have been in a semi heated (stays above 0C)green house since April 13. They developed powdery mildew again and I washed them in dish soap and baking soda. Hopefully, they will survive until I get them out. Will powdery mildew be a problem in the garden? I don't want to have to dig them up to wash in the sink. :) |
It might be, depends on weather. Cool, damp, usually means PM. When they are planted, you can rinse them with garden hose or use a hand spray bottle to apply the dish soap/baking soda mixture. Also, a 10% solution of milk in water (1 part milk to 9 parts water) is said to work, but I haven't tried it. So far, so good! |
The minis are about to go in the garden. One is in bloom (below). If someone can identify it? :) The bloom is a little less than 2" across and mildly fragrant. |

Bizarre classroom posters from the '70s, Part 3: Behold the roots of memes
It may be spring break for some students, but the rest of us are headed back to class -- way back to the 1970s, when discussion posters like these were created to prompt conversations (and confusion). Our first batch of rare finds featured captions. This one -- from the same set as our mind-warping second collection -- is sans words, so we've added our own captions. Feel free to do likewise: These strangely gorgeous illustrations are like 21st century memes decades before their time. Check them out below.Big posters below.
"I am NOT a slut for wearing a skirt this short! And what kind of a name is 'Rush Limbaugh' anyway?"
"Who knew a puppet not wearing pants would be anatomically correct?"
"Want to be more than friends, hot stuff?"

RI pension fund earned 11% last year as market rebounds
July 24th, 2013 at 11:20 am by Ted Nesi under Nesi's NotesBy Ted Nesi
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – Rhode Island's state pension fund earned 11.1% in the 2012-13 fiscal year, a big improvement over its 1.4% rise the prior year as a worldwide market rebound boosted returns, Treasurer Gina Raimondo's office announced Wednesday. The fund's assets totaled $7.55 billion as of June 30.
The 11.1% return came in below the 11.3% return of the fund's benchmark over the same period. It was also less than the Massachusetts fund's 12.7% return or CalPERS' 12.5% increase. Meanwhile, a status conference on progress in mediating the union lawsuit challenging the state's 2011 pension law is set for Aug. 6.

TransAdvocate.com was created by Marti Abernathey. The TransAdvocate exists to give a voice to trans advocates in a new media environment. Cristan Williams is the TransAdvocate's managing editor.
The TransAdvocate is news and commentary from a boots-on-the-ground trans advocate perspective. We tend to support gonzo-style journalism because we report on issues affecting the quality of life for members of our community.
We don't pretend that compromising on equality is a reasonable option and in that regard, we own that bias. We're willing to do what it takes to expose hate — especially when hate is being peddled as reason or faith. We here at the TrasnAdvocate generally won't pull our punches and we are all too happy to drag the truth – kicking and screaming – into the light of day.

Trans Agenda 2.0?
For many years, the trans community has been fighting on numerous fronts.
On one front we were fighting TERFs as they worked with US Administrations to try to institutionalize a national program of reparative therapy for all trans folk, remove our access to health care and to legislate trans people out of existence. On another front, we were fighting powerful gay men who felt that trans folk were dragging the gay rights movement down so that the founder of HRC, Steven Endean, encouraged the movement to "hide the drag queens." On other fronts, we were facing systemic institutionalized discrimination at every level of society. On yet other fronts, we were fighting to just stay alive. At every level and in every way possible, both our foes and those who were supposed to be our allies made existence harder. The system has been rigged to ensure that it continues to produce a trans community with the highest rate of murder, rape, assault, unemployment, HIV, homelessness, psychological pressure and, of course, suicide. This is what we've spent the last 40 years pushing against and now – finally – the trans community is at a tipping point.
Now, TERFs are confronted as bigots at every turn. Now, over the past 5 – 10 years, we've seen trans social services begin to pop up across the nation. Now, trans people are protected under Title VII, under HUD non-discrimination rules and we are able to acquire correct federal identification (thank you Obama!). Now it's no longer acceptable for transphobic cisgender GLB people to be ripped from ENDA. Additionally, we've made great strides in reclaiming our own history. At every level, the trans community is making headway.
Welcome to the second wave of trans activism.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Howes, Llewellyn URN etd-02092005-075954 Document Title ĺn Studie van Josua 23 gefokus op sosiale waardes as sleutel tot die verstaan van oorlogsdenke (Afrikaans) Degree MA (Ancient Languages and Culture Studies) Department Ancient Languages Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof P J Botha Keywords
- no key words available
Date 2004-01-09 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study was motivated by the desire to make a difference in the world. A better understanding of how ancient peoples perceived the phenomenon of war, and how these perceptions were shaped by social values, can hold great value for contemporary peace processes. A large number of Old Testament passages can further be illuminated through a study of this nature.The problem can be summarised by the following question:
● Why did the ancient person positively regard war as an inevitable cultural phenomenon, while the contemporary Western person negatively regards war as an anomaly?
The hypotheses are as follows:
● the social values of respectively the Western and the ancient world can explain why there is a discrepancy between their respective perceptions about war;
● a study of Joshua 23 can verify the results attained above.
The purpose of this essay is:
● to determine whether the social values of respectively the Western and the ancient world can explain why there is a discrepancy between their respective perceptions about war;
● to determine whether a study of Joshua 23 can verify the results attained above.
Chapter 1 introduces the study. Chapter 2 examines the difference between Western and ancient perceptions of war regarding the following social values: honour and shame, group-orientation, limited goods, purity. A synchronic exegesis of Joshua 23 follows in Chapter 3. During the course of this exegesis, the results of Chapter 2 will both illuminate and be verified by Joshua 23. Chapter 4 presents the interested student with guidelines for further study on this subject.
The aim of this study is to promote peace in 2004 by illuminating Joshua 23.

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 Will Sniff ADOPTED!!!
Facts about Will Sniff ADOPTED!!
- Breed: Pug/Beagle Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Will Sniff ADOPTED!!'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi, my name is Willie and I am about three years old. I love to play with sweet dogs (especially little dogs) but I get kindof scared when big dogs want to play with me. I adore people. I would much rather have a person than a doggie friend, so I am a great choice for someone who only wants one dog. I am quiet and well-behaved so I would do great in an apartment, condo or townhouse. I love to meet new people so be sure to stop by and see me. The Haven is open from one to five pm, seven days a week.
I don't know why but I ended up in the county animal control. Lucky for me, I came to the Haven at the Inn where I will be safe and well cared for until my forever family finds me. Please keep checking back for updated pictures and more information.
If you are interested in becoming my new family you can send in an application and be pre-approved to adopt me or any of the other totally awesome dogs who are waiting for their families to find them.
Other Pets at Haven at the Inn
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Will Sniff ADOPTED!!, a Antioch Pug/Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug/Beagle for sale in Antioch, or seeking a Pug/Beagle dog from a breeder in Antioch.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Antioch 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 Antioch 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 Pug/Beagle breeders who help with Pug/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Antioch paves the way for another one to be saved.

We've been eagerly awaiting the day that we would finally hear some kind of stats on Nexus 7 sales and, finally, ASUS has let some figures slip. Apparently sales of Google's first Nexus tablet have not only been great, but are getting progressively better. While we weren't given exact numbers, the company's CFO David Chang had this to say about how the slate has done in the market:
The latest unaudited results from HTC for Q4 2011 indicate that total revenues reached NT$ 101 billion (US$ 3.34 billion), a 2.49% drop as compared to the same period in 2010. In stark contrast, Samsung just had a record breaking quarter with profits reaching 5.2 trillion won (US$4.5 billion), almost double the figures of Q4 2010. Samsung's results for Q4 2011 breaks its previous record profit period of 5.0 trillion won (US$ 4.3 billion) from Q2 2010 and is an increase of 22% from Q3 2011.

Breast Cancer: Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop breast cancer with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing breast cancer. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Breast cancer is found predominantly in women and is the most common form of cancer in American women. Breast cancer in men is rare.
Although there is great emphasis on risk factors for developing breast cancer, a great many cases occur in people with no known risk factors.
Genetic Factors
Women who have a family history of breast cancer (mother, sister, or daughter) have a higher risk factor of developing breast cancer. However, a lack of family history does not protect you from developing breast cancer; approximately 90%-95% of women who develop breast cancer have no family history of this disease.
Additionally, having a genetic abnormality increases your risk. This includes the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, as well as others. Rare genetic diseases can also increase risk.
The chance of developing breast cancer increases with age; three out of four cases occur in women over age 50. This occurs in men around age 60. Although breast cancer is more common as you age, breast cancer can occur at any age.
Medical Condition
The following medical conditions have been found to increase the risk of developing breast cancer:
- Prior personal history of breast cancer, or other abnormalities in the breast tissue
- Breasts that have a high proportion of lobular and ductal tissue instead of fatty tissue, which makes the breast tissue more dense
- Previous breast exposure to radiation therapy before age 30
- Pregnancy after age 30, or no pregnancy at all
- Absence of breast-feeding
- Overweight, particularly after menopause
Increased exposure to estrogen, which includes:
- First menstrual period before age 13
- Menopause after age 51
- Prolonged use of hormone replacement therapy
- Previous biopsy results that indicate atypical hyperplasia, lobular carcinoma in situ, or radial scar formation
Specific Lifestyle Factors
Lifestyle factors that increase breast cancer risk include:
- Drinking three or more alcoholic drinks daily
- Having a sedentary lifestyle
- Smoking
- Consuming a diet that is high in red meat
Ethnic Background
In the US, Caucasian, Hawaiian, and African American women have the highest rates of breast cancer. The lowest rates occur among Korean, American Indian, and Vietnamese women.

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
- 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon
- 3 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large shallots, finely chopped

- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm.
- Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour; stir to coat. Add wine, broth and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil, stirring often.
- Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until heated through and no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. Stir in sour cream and mustard until smooth; turn the chicken to coat with the sauce. Stir in chives and serve immediately.

He leads the Phillies with 24 homers and 69 RBIs. He has started 97 games and is hitting .271. The Phillies called up outfielder Steve Susdorf to take Brown's place on the roster.

Summary of FARA Repeaters |
Description |
Frequency | PL tone |
FARA 2 meter | 146.655/-0.6 MHz | 88.5 Hz |
FARA 2 m/70 cm Boston link | 442.750/+5 MHz (in Boston area) | 141.3 Hz |
[Home] [Top] [NE Repeaters]
The FARA 2m repeater |
The FARA 2m repeater is located in Falmouth, Massachusetts on top of the Falmouth Hospital. It provides coverage for most of southeastern Massachusetts. Its call sign is K1RK. It is also linked to a FARA 440 remote link repeater located in Newton, Massachusetts which effectively extends FARA's 2m coverage into the Boston area via 440. The FARA 2m repeater has a rich set of features on it, most of which are open only to FARA members. An 88.5 Hz PL tone is required to key the repeater.
[Home] [Top] [NE Repeaters]
FARA 2m features |
Phone Patch/Autodialer | Speed dial feature also available |
220 MHz FM link | Full duplex or simplex operation |
440 MHz FM link | Full duplex or simplex operation |
10m FM Link1 | Full duplex or simplex operation |
Signal strength report | Reports relative signal strength in S units |
Activate Boston Link | Turns on Boston Link from Falmouth |
FARA repeater functions above are available to club members only. All FARA repeaters are open to the general ham public. You can join FARA on-line and we accept PayPal.
Note 1. The 10m FM link may only be used by General or higher class licensees who are members of FARA. The link operates in the FM portion of 10m above 29 MHz. This region is not available to licensees below General Class.
[Home] [Top] [NE Repeaters]
The Falmouth-Boston 2m/70cm Link |
The FARA link repeater is a full duplex 440 machine located in Newton Centre. Anytime the 440 machine is accessed it also keys up the FARA 2 m repeater in Falmouth. Users on the 440 link in Newton may talk with each other and also with users in Falmouth on the FARA 2m machine. Anything appearing on the input of the 440 machine in Newton will appear on the 2m input to the FARA machine in Falmouth, and hence will be heard in Falmouth. The link will remain active for 5 minutes if it is not accessed during that time from the Boston area. It will then automatically shut down. The 440 link repeater carries the callsign WA1GPO.
FARA members may open the link from the Falmouth 2m repeater if they wish to call someone monitoring the FARA 440 machine in Newton. This is done with a touch tone access code and the feature is available to FARA members only. All FARA 2m features may also be accessed via the link. Special instructions apply for using touch tones to access Falmouth functions through the link because of audio delays that are necessarily built into the link circuit. Note, should you access the signal strength-reporting feature, the report you will receive will be that of the Newton-Falmouth 2m link transmitter, not that of your signal into the Newton 440 machine.
This is an open repeater, however keep in mind that it is solely designed to facilitate communications from the Boston area into Falmouth. It can be used as a 440 repeater in the Boston area, but keep in mind that any conversations on the 440 repeater in Newton will also be heard on the 2m repeater in Falmouth.

Cabin in the woods' club
The kids can explore their cabin in the woods and special play area near the lake, under the highly-qualified supervision of our staff. They can learn all about nature by participating in theme games and excursions in the countryside.
