Romney Goes Bold: Pro-Life Catholic Paul Ryan Chosen as Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Comments
I just returned from the Romney/Ryan campaign event in Norfolk, Virginia. The crowd was massive, enthusiastic and hopeful. I don't know what I expected - but what I experienced far exceeded those expectations. Mitt Romney's bold choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate ensures that an exchange of correspondence between the Cardinal of New York and the Republican Vice Presidential nominee will now become a part of framing the issues in ...

Of course seniors and anyone over 55 love the Ryan plan. It allows them to continue ideological rants with no skin in the game. The younger generation is forced to not only pay for the costs of the most expensive elder population in our country's history, but somehow has to figure out how to finance their elder care and supplement their retirement even more so as those items won't be there or will be just a token of what they once were. Working in the elder care segment of healthcare, I think this budget will basically bring the end to this industry. I don't think folks have any idea what their healthcare cost trends look like as they age. A voucher will do nothing to stem that tide. I'm still wondering where the younger generation is going to get all this extra money from given how stagnant wages have been for the last 30 years. But I have to hand it to Ryan, he's no dummy. You can't expect all Americans to sacrifice on this one. Imagine all seniors having to have skin in the game? They vote these guys out of town yesterday! You can't anger that voting block. So yes, for those of you over 55, your government benefits stay in tact. You are free to bemoan the socialism that plauges our country while retaining your slice of the pie. Gotta love it.
Entitlements need to be restructed, but it will never happen until the middle and lower classes of this country are allowed to prosper. But so long as "shareholder value" and the like is the mantra for the day, fat chance of that. The richest companies in the world should not have labor foces of practically minimum wage people. How in the world is someone supposed to finance retirment and lifetime healthcare costs when they hit earnings ceilings after earnings ceilings because trickle down is a joke? -

Good to hear the word "Paul the Catholic", away from Obama's so called catholics, Apostates like him. But then again when the word "Catholic' is announced we see & only natural for the 'Prince of the power---" to descent from heavenly like places to accuse, in tune with the "Accuser of the Brethren" marketed through the liberal media in the likes of the Huffington Post governed by its Herodias, a darling of the freemasonry deceit.

I'm thrilled at the choice of Paul Ryan. While I can't say that I'd agree with him on everything, I believe that he is surely a solid pro-life candidate. Additionally, while I'd put myself in the camp that's a tad concerned about what his Budget proposal suggested on taxes [the cuts are too deep - but I understand his budget is really just a negotiating position] and am also a bit concerned on discretionary spending. However, he has, with great courage, made a career out of tackling the problem of our unsustainable entitlements.
Our government needs to restructure its fiscal situation. The present value of our fiscal gap is well north of $100 million and this gap will only grow larger as time goes on and we continue failing to restructure the entitlements. Pres. Obama's own fiscal commission, Bowles-Simpson, said the entitlements are on "autopilot" and are set to severely damage America's ability to invest in its future -- both in the contexts of private capital formation and with respect to public investments -- education, military, research, infrastructure, etc...
In addition, we must begin to realize that our entitlements and the welfare state in general is also full of perverse incentives that encourage dependancy and immoral behavior. Further welfare reform above and beyond the TANF should be pursued. Anyway, why does everything need to be so centralized anyway? We must restructure the entitlements -- or they will fundamentally transform America -- in a real bad way. -

Paul Ryan is a great choice. I was hoping for Marco Rubio. Either way, the Liberal Establishment Media complex will put their smear machine in high gear. That laughable attacks have started with "Ryan doesn't have enough private business experience" and he is an "extremist". Media's man is a Radical Marxist street activist who never ran a hotdog stand. Obama states in his 1992 book that he was born in Kenya, Africa. Now, we have Columbia University professors and alumni who taught and attended Columbia when Obama allegedly attended Columbia and nobody saw or knew him. Obama is a Marxist fraud that the Media put over on America.

We as Catholics need true leadership from our Church. There is no salvation from the US government. Leaders of our man made government have proven to be corrupt and incompetent for many many years.
They will know we are Christians by our love. -

Obama's smear machinery has fired the first salvo as soon as the GOP VP was announced. Catholics should be very discerning as the Democratic party strategy is: "If you can't blame 'em, Smear 'em". This is what politicians do when they have no Accomplishments to report to the nation. BTW, the Dems have officially iadopted the "gay agenda" in their political platform with the ultimate aim of destroying true marriage and the family. I guess we really have no choice at all on Nov 6, 2012 except to vote in GOP.

Hmm... The Marxist wizards that lord it over us and who subordinate Truth and Holy Mother Church to the state have anointed a creature for POTUS who denies the truth of the Holy Trinity... a creature who arrogantly believes that in the eternal Kingdom he will participate in the ESSENCE of our Lord... this creature who lives in darkness has now chosen a disciple of Ayn Rand to evangelize her atheist vision and related gospel of dystopian salvation to practicing Catholics. Huh? The famine continues with no end in sight. -

I'm sick of reading about how Paul Ryan is going to take Medicare away from seniors and give to the rich. That is simply NOT the truth!!! In reality, Obama's HHS has already cut 500 billion from Medicare to help finance the start-up of Obamacare. Go research it yourself, start thinking for yourself, and quit watching and reading leftist news as they started their attacks on Mr. Ryan by twisting the truth. All of our safety nets are broken and BROKE! Paul Ryan speaks the truth about America's dire financial mess! Wake-up and get a clue people…. There will be no more Medicare & Social Security if we continue down the path we're on. All this caused by electing incompetent people who have no clue about finances and lack leadership. Now that Mitt chosen Paul Ryan as his VP, I do have one little thread of hope that America will be ok..... we'll see.
Quoting Margaret Thatcher - "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

I am greatly pleased with the selection of Paul Ryan as VP. I am appalled that so many catholics voted for Obama who promotes partial birth abortion. This man was a liar from the start and continues to lie. This is what he believes in:
"I don't want them punished with a baby."
And here's what Obama thinks about the Bible:
Continuing to support/vote for Obama is collusion with mortal sin.

16 Handles, today's most innovative frozen yogurt brand, has raised $10,000 for New York Cares, New York City's largest volunteer organization. The donation is made possible from proceeds generated from the sale of New York Cares Cheesecake, a co-branded flavor that launched in September and was sold in all New York based 16 Handles stores.
From left, Solomon Choi, 16 Handles founder and CE-Yo! and Gary Bagley, New York Cares Executive Director, toast to raising $10,000 for New York Cares. 16 Handles partnered with New York Cares to create New York Cares Cheesecake, a co-branded flavor designed to give back to the local community. Courtesy 16 Handles
The $10,000 donation will support New York Cares in its quest to identify the toughest problems facing New York City's nonprofits, city agencies, and public schools and mobilize caring New Yorkers to volunteer in service.
"16 Handles was born in New York City and keeping the Big Apple a safe and clean place to live, work and play will always remain an important cause to our brand," said Solomon Choi, 16 Handles founder and CE-Yo! "Volunteering is a selfless way to make a difference, and we're excited to give back to New York Cares, the ultimate facilitators of volunteerism."
The launch of New York Cares Cheesecake marked the first co-branded, philanthropic initiative between the two New-York headquartered organizations. In addition to donating a portion of all proceeds resulting from flavor sales sold across all of its New York-based stores, 16 Handles will support several upcoming New York Cares events and fundraisers designed to thank the many volunteers who graciously donate their personal time and energy to lend a hand to local New Yorkers in need.
Founded in 2008 by foodservice industry expert Solomon Choi, 16 Handles was first to pioneer the self-service frozen yogurt concept in New York City. With 28 locations across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and Florida, 16 Handles urges every guest to Flaunt Their Flavor™ by offering 16 handles of premium frozen yogurt, along with a complementary toppings bar featuring more than 50 items. The company continues to expand rapidly and forecasts that 40 stores will be open by the end of 2012. An eco conscious company committed to sustainability, 16 Handles uses biodegradable packaging and spoons, while each store plants 16 trees per day though an ongoing partnership with Trees for the Future. For more information visit 16handles.com.
New York Cares is New York City's largest volunteer organization. Founded 25 years ago, New York Cares runs volunteer programs for 1,200 New York City nonprofits, city agencies, and public schools across the five boroughs. Last year, 54,000 New York Cares volunteers served on hands-on volunteer projects helping 400,000 New Yorkers in need. New York Cares offers a full range of volunteer programs that meet critical social needs, including helping children learn to read, preparing meals for homeless and housebound people, helping low income students get into college, and much more.

We only have to provide them with whom ever we want on file as authorized signers. We do not have to put on file all officers. No one has to go to NM, or anything physical. Because they offer direct bank accounts, accessed purely online. Someone does have to open the account by providing personal information. Followed by the Foundations info, EIN, address, etc. From there we can change authorized signers by sending in a letter requesting such. Only hard part will be priming the account, but otherwise. We should be able to proceed with them. No idea on fees, etc. That stuff is pretty moot to me. Since we really have no others to shop around or compare on. I can check a few others, but really getting tired of spinning wheels. I just assume bite the bullet and go with Capital One. Till we have reason to go or look else where. -- William L.

The devolution debate - a tale of two cities ten years on
Both cities will shortly be visited by the All Wales Convention, the organisation established to gauge people's opinions on whether the National Assembly for Wales should be granted more law-making powers.
In the 1997 referendum, the cities were united in their rejection of devolution. 62.5 per cent of Newport residents voted no, with 55.6 per cent of Cardiff resident voting likewise. Now, a decade of devolution later, the challenge for the All Wales Convention will be to assess how the land lies on the question of more devolved powers for the National Assembly.
On Thursday June 18th from 6.30-8.30pm a discussion group event will take place at The Newport Centre, when members of the public will be able to have their say in the devolution debate. The following week, on Tuesday June 23rd from 9am-5pm, the Convention's roadshow will be shopping for more opinions on devolution from members of the public at Cardiff's Capitol Shopping Centre. Following that, on Thursday June 25th from 6.30-8.30pm the All Wales Convention will hold the final public event in its tour of Wales. Over 100 people are expected to attend this question time event at City Hall, Cardiff. Both events are free and open to members of the public.
Crystallising public opinion the length and breadth of Wales in the current public consultation will not be an easy task. The Chair of the All Wales Convention, Sir Emyr Jones Parry, and his Executive Committee will have their work cut out in judging the mood of the people of Wales correctly. Sir Emyr is a career diplomat, having served as UK Permanent Representative on the North Atlantic Council, followed by a four-year posting as UK Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, so it bodes well. But even his diplomatic skills will surely be challenged at times and the task should not be underestimated.
Sir Emyr said:
I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience of hearing the views and opinions of people all over Wales. It's what I set out to do and I've been greatly encouraged by the welcome my team and I have received. But there's much more to do of course. Politics is relevant to each and every one of us, whether we like it or not. It affects the way we go about our daily lives and I want people to realise that what they say will influence what happens in Wales.
I'm looking forward to the All Wales Convention visiting Newport and Cardiff and, given the two cities' past devolution attitudes, I expect both events to be lively and engaging. A decade on, it will be very interesting to find out what local residents now think about devolution and whether it's been a good or bad thing for them.
Councillor Matthew Evans, Leader of Newport City Council, said:
It is vitally important that the public's views are taken into consideration when planning for the future of our country. It will be very interesting to hear the comments of local people after 10 years of the Assembly, and we are pleased to be hosting such an event.

Fantastic unit. Lost my fob for my Seville so I went to local radio installer to see what he could do. My car only had keyless entry and trunk release, so I asked him if he could also add a remote starter. He stated no problem. He took only 2 hours to complete job at a total cost of $243.00. This unit can also be set up for a car run time as long as 60 minutes and has a range of 1200 feet.

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 Cash!
Facts about Cash
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Cash's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Cash - the dog in black! - is a beautiful male Labrador Retriever and is approximately a year old. He has a heart of gold and aims to please. He is an active boy, with long, long legs, who would love to be your running or hiking partner. Not shy and very affectionate, Cash would do anything for your attention. He just wants to be with his people! He is currently living in a home with two other large dogs and two small toddlers and he is wonderful with all of them. Cash is young and still has lots to learn, but he is completely house broken and is very eager to please. He is very smart and eager to learn new commands.
Cash is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccinations. He is also current on heartworm and flea preventative. He will need a yard with a 6 foot fence because his long legs allow him to jump right over shorter fences. If you are looking for a young, friendly dog to accompany your family on adventures, Cash is your guy. Please email email@example.com for more information. Cash is being fostered near Huntsville, AL.
Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Homewood
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cash, a Homewood Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Homewood, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Homewood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Homewood 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 Homewood 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Homewood paves the way for another one to be saved.

kwrite does many of the things you describe, such as line numbers, syntax highlighting, customizable fonts (although your choice affects the whole file), and you can get it to print in columns from the 'print' dialog.

Like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, there is no spring tradition quite like the veteran supernova. At each and every Spring Training facility across baseball lurks the great story of a career minor leaguer, waiting for his chance to fulfil a dream by reaching the big leagues.
While camps are lousy with players like this, it is the rare breed who catches fire for a few weeks and attracts all manner of spring attention. Spring Training is essentially a information-less vacuum by the second week of March. Beat writers are like nature, they abhor a vacuum. Into this void goes the upbeat story of the plucky underdog for whom everything goes right one spring.
For the Braves — more specifically, Atlanta Journal-Constitution beat writer Dave O'Brien — their great spring hope is Evan Gattis.

The Tenant
Twenty-five years after a horrifying accident, a group of young teens and their driver seek shelter an old abandoned building where true evil awaits them Featuring horror icon Michael Berryman.

Audience Reviews
Twenty-eight years ago, Dr. Walter Newman (Randy Molnar) is running a mental asylum and is also trying to find a way to cure disabilities. His wife, Olivia (Georgia Chris), is against the testing, especially when she tells him she's pregnant with twins. But Dr. Newman's psycho assistant Ms. Tinsley (Sylvia Boykin) wants the tests completed, so she secretly injects one of Olivia's twins with a serum. When the babies are born, the girl is normal, but the boy - the one injected with the serum - turns out to be a monster. Twenty-eight years later, a group of deaf students and their chaperones get a flat tire in front of the now abandoned mental hospital, and decide to stay there for the night. But the monster child is all grown up, and ready to wreak some havoc on the unsuspecting kids. This film tried to be a new Frankenstein-style film, but failed miserably. The acting, directing, effects, makeup, everything was beyond B-rated. Plus it was extremely boring, until the end, but even then it wasn't exciting at all because you never got to know the characters in the final half so you didn't care. They could've just focused on the doctor's experiments and be it, but instead the director cut both sections short to incorporate both parts into the film, which wasn't really needed.

Jun 19th 2011 12:51AM I feel less secure. I noticed when it didn't ask for my code and I immediately logged out then back on. Lucky it asked for my code that time. Since then it has happened 4-5 more times. I can opt out of the authenticator by not having one, but in my experience the little guy saves my butt so I like to know he is working every time I log in.
Shifting Perspectives: Do restoration druids need a cooldown? {WoW}
Feb 23rd 2011 7:33AM I do not support the castable on others barkskin. Besides needing it for tranquility, it is already a TANKing cool down for our class. Blizzard is already struggling to homogenize tanks and their cool downs and look what it has done to the bear community. To take that same cool down and allow me to cast it on others would make me a preferred healer but not for the right reasons.

Jan 25th 2011 9:25AM When healing dungons, if a tanking piece drops, I will wait and see if the tank needs it or greeds it. If they need it I greed but if they greed it I need. This only after talking to the group about it before the run starts. A little forethought goes a long way.

The End of Private Practice?
As the health care system is transformed, hospitals are trying to lure primary care physicians away from private practice, the Washington Post reports this week. With new emphasis on care coordination among health care professionals, hospitals are seeking to take over existing practices or hire away doctors and new graduates to work alongside nurses and specialists.
Reaction among doctors is mixed. A salaried job comes with greater security, and gives physicians access to otherwise costly technologies like electronic medical records. On the other hand, physicians may have less flexibility in the amount of time spent with patients and how they care for them.
Read the story from the Washington Post.

Lost your Mass Effect 2 save files? This is what you can do
You don't have to start all over again.
BioWare's idea was genius, something very rarely attempted before. In Mass Effect, you can import your save files and continue with the same character in the next installment. Your decisions and your love interest remains in intact. Your actions are carried over, having minor and major effects on the story as you continue your battle against the Reapers. It's brilliant. It works. It is a continuation of your version of the game.
But this requires players to lock their save files till the next game, which could be in the next five years (or more). And considering the fragile and delicate nature of the technology we host our save files on (aka hard drives), well, sh*t happens. It could be a virus, a hardware failure, a power out, or you just felt like smashing your PC after it hanged even though it's never the hardware at fault.
You lost your Mass Effect 2 save files. It happens. But with Mass Effect 3 on the horizon, what do you do? Although the game will allow you to create a new character, provide basic story choices and give you a generic Shepard at your disposal, it will still not be your game, your Shepard, and your choices.
You could replay Mass Effect 2, and I know the most staunch fans will do it regardless, but with a backlog of games from last year and this, you just don't have the time. What can do then is, download someone else's save files. Once such place to download save files is this (or this). It's a user maintained website, with a variety of save files for male and female Shepards.
There are more than hundred save files available, sorted by love interest and moral alignment (paragon, renegade, or mixed). Each save is precisely detailed, with information on the quests completed, who was killed, who survived, if the Council survived, who is the councilor (Udin or Anderson), if Rachni Queen was killed, etc. It even goes into minute details such as if the hostages in Mass Effect 2 were left to die or not.
Another alternative is to download a save file editor which allows you to create an entirely new character, feed it with resources, credits and powers, and even edit its appearance. It also features basic plot lines to choose from, as well. Once such software is Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor, and is available to download for free <a href="">here.
While none of this will give off the personalized feeling of the Shepard you lost, it's certainly better than going with a character your may not entirely relate to.

For the past seven years, the Maybellines have done more to push their agenda of musical Pollyannaism than the Glee Club and Up With People combined. Take, for instance, A La Carte, the band's new six-song EP: Comprising songs of syrup-dunked daintiness, the disc glitters with swooning romance, the sparkle of vintage Casios and unadulterated pop innocence that makes Free to Be...You and Me sound like Black Sabbath, Vol. 4.
But there's a somber undertow that's seeped in beneath all the candy and flowers. On "Our Hearts Keep Time," Gilbert doles out a skipping beat as singer/keyboardist Julie Dorough nearly whispers, "I search a sea of faces/No familiar smiles or landscapes/Shadows casting down, and it's gray and cold in the shade/But the sun is finding its own way/Our hearts will keep time/And we'll even travel in the afterlife." The song was inspired by the cancer-related death two years ago of Julie's husband, James Bludworth, who was also a freelance photographer for Westword.
"I kept avoiding 'Our Hearts Keep Time,'" Dorough admits. "I tried to write about something else, but I just kept coming back to James. The night before we recorded the song, I was, like, ŒAll right, I've really got to work this out.' So I finally caved in and ended up writing that song in twenty minutes after struggling with it for two months."
"James was such a huge part of the band," Gilbert says. "He helped get the band together. He ran the website. He booked all of our tours. He made all of our T-shirts and took all of our photographs. He basically kept the band going. I know Julie had a lot more to deal with, but me and Mike and Dave felt a little lost. James had always defined the direction we went in."
It took nearly a decade for the Maybellines' lineup -- Gilbert, Dorough, guitarist Mike Levasseur and bassist Dave Reeves -- to come together. Gilbert originally conceived the name in the early '90s, when he was an engineering student at Virginia Tech. A graduate of the hardcore scene, his tastes had broadened since the teenage years he spent in the pit watching Corrosion of Conformity; in fact, he came up with the moniker as a tribute to the first lady of country music, Maybelline Carter of the Carter Family. Incidentally, Gilbert met Maine native Levasseur in 1995, when both were stationed in the Ivory Coast as Peace Corps volunteers -- and started an acoustic country combo called the Five Guitar Army with him.
"We did, like, Neil Young and Hank Williams covers," Gilbert remembers. "And when we got home, I asked Mike to move out to Denver and start a band."
Bludworth was the catalyst. A friend of Gilbert's from school, he tracked his old classmate down and in 1997 convinced him to relocate to Denver. Levasseur followed, and he and Gilbert became roommates. The Maybellines began soon after as a humble recording project in their basement, producing a raw demo with Levasseur on guitar and Gilbert on vocals, bass and drums -- the latter being an instrument he barely knew how to play. Once again, Bludworth triggered the next step in the group's evolution.
"We all went out to dinner one night after a Dressy Bessy show," Dorough recalls. "Al and Mike were talking about doing some recordings in the basement, and they needed someone to do backup vocals. James nominated me. So I went over there and hung out with them in the basement and just started singing. After that, Al said, 'Why don't you just sing in the band?'"
Although Dorough had never even considered being a musician before, crooning and tickling keys runs in her blood. Her uncle, Bob Dorough, is a famed jazz singer and pianist who's recorded for Blue Note and appeared on record with Miles Davis. But he's most famous for a kid-friendly style of music that, oddly enough, isn't that far from that of the Maybellines. He was one of the pens and voices behind Schoolhouse Rock, including such indelible ditties as "Three Is a Magic Number" and "Electricity."
"He was the coolest uncle you could possibly have," Dorough enthuses. "We had a piano at our house when I was growing up, and every time he came over, we'd gather around it and sing songs.
"He's one of those cool-cat jazz guys," she continues, laughing. "When he finally heard my band, he was just, like, 'Wow, that's groovy.'"
Reeves was the last to join, and he did so by much more prosaic means. "These guys put an ad in the paper," he explains. "It said 'No rock wizards.' That sounded right up my alley at the time. So many people in bands try to be too technical or crazy or whatever. These guys were the opposite of that."
Originally from Texas, Reeves had tried playing in a slew of groups upon moving to Denver in 1990 -- with little success.

HIV/AIDS-associated malignancies
HIV/AIDS-associated malignancies present treatment challenges for physicians and a serious public health problem in nations with a high incidence of these cancers. Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (including primary central nervous system lymphoma), and cervical carcinoma are all more prevalent in individuals with HIV/AIDS.
It is estimated that there are over one million people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States today, but that number is dwarfed by the over 33 million people worldwide who have the disease.
With the advent of Highly-Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), HIV-infected individuals are living longer and are therefore at a higher risk for developing AIDS-related malignancies. Cancers in the context of HIV infection tend to be more aggressive and resist treatment with standard therapies.
Since 2008, UNC Lineberger, in conjunction with the UNC Center for AIDS Research, has received supplemental funding from NCI/NIH to promote basic and translational pilot research projects on HIV-associated malignancies.
View the UNC Center for AIDS Research Newsletter.
Key areas of opportunity at UNC include:
- Potential for collaboration in the U.S., Malawi, China and Brazil to accelerate our understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying AIDS-associated cancers and the best treatments for these malignancies.
- In the U.S., UNC-Chapel Hill is a clinical site for the NCI-sponsored AIDS-associated malignancy consortium (AMC), which conducts clinical trials that enroll HIV-positive individuals with cancer.
- In Malawi, nearly 50% of the population is HIV-positive and 30-40% of the HIV positive population die of Kaposi's sarcoma. Dr. Dittmer is collaborating with several UNC-Chapel Hill investigators on cancer clinical trials in Malawi.
- In China, there is a UNC Infectious Disease-initiated HIV surveillance project in Xinjiang and Guangxi Provinces which records all incidences of cancer in the HIV-positive population.
- In Brazil, Drs. Dittmer and Damania collaborate with clinicians and faculty at the University of Sao Paolo, and Salvador, Bahia on clinical trials for Kaposi's sarcoma.
- The UNC Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) is located in the UNC Lineberger building. This allows for cross-disciplinary research collaborations.
- There are many cores and resources offered by both UNC CFAR and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center that facilitate global cancer research at UNC.
- Membership in cooperative clinical trials groups that focus on diseases in HIV-infected individuals.
- Dr. Dittmer is Director of core laboratories for the AIDS Malignancy Clinical Trials consortium (AMC), and chairs clinical trials in Kaposi sarcoma.
- Drs. Damania and Kristy Richards are co-PIs for the AMC site at UNC-Chapel Hill.
- Drs. Damania, Joe Eron and Charles Van Der Horst are members of the ACTG (AIDS clinical trials group).
- Drs. Jennifer Webster Cyriaque and Dittmer are members of the Oral HIV/AIDS Research Alliance (OHARA).
- The UNC Health Registry, a survivorship cohort of 10,000 patients, is in the process of being established and will include HIV-positive individuals with cancer.
- UNC-Chapel Hill has also received a NCI supplement for Behavioral Strategies to Accrue and Retain Diverse Underserved Populations in HIV-related Malignancy Clinical Trials (Drs. Paul Godley, Anissa Vines, Kristy Richards and Dirk Dittmer are involved in this project).

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 Mulan!
Facts about Mulan
- Breed: Dachshund/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
- ID#: Sadies
Mulan's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Mulan is a sweet little chi-weenie. She weighs about 8 pounds and is only about a year old. Just home from her shelter ordeal today (10/16) we expect her to be feeling better and kicking up her heals in no time. She sure enjoys cuddles on her foster dad's lap.
Mulan is being offered for adoption by Sadie's Rescue: firstname.lastname@example.com ~ sadies.org
Please e-mail for more information: email@example.com. We typically respond to e-mail within 24 hours or less. All dogs listed by Promised Land Dog Fosters have been spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated and heart worm tested. The adoption fee, to cover the cost of rescue, vetting and foster care is $140.
Other Pets at Promised Land Dog Fosters
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mulan, a San Angelo Dachshund/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Chihuahua for sale in San Angelo, or seeking a Dachshund/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in San Angelo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Angelo 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 San Angelo 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 Dachshund/Chihuahua breeders who help with Dachshund/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Angelo paves the way for another one to be saved.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: | 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. |
5 And hope maketh not ashamed ; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. | 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. |
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. | 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. |
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die : yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die . | 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. |
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. | 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. | 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! |
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled , we shall be saved by his life. | 10 For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! |
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. | 11 Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. |
12 Wherefore , as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned : | 12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned-- |
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. | 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. |
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come . | 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. |

Within Dutchess County --- how can I find out which one I am located in ???
The maps I've seen are pretty general. Can't find one that seems to show the definate grades at a more local level ? Is there an actual "text definition" of the two areas ? Thank you !!! Craig |
Follow-Up Postings:
Craig, The best that I've found for this area would be out of Cornell but it's still not really granular. The site also includes some textural definition but I think that the experts are being deliberately careful since the zones are pretty broad and there's a bunch more things that combine to determine whether a plant will make it in your backyard (orientation to the sun, frost pockets, any peculiar microclime, etc.). Hope it helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cornell zone link
Well, Craig, it looks to me on this map that we are both in zone 5b. Thanks so much, Makalu, I have been confused also. |
Craig, I live in Beekman. I catagorize where I am as 5b/6a. We can have anywhere from zone 7 to zone 4(even 3 like last year)winters. You have to go buy what ever temperature you get, not what the zone map say the temperature we is our low. Last year there was a week where the thermometer never went above -20 degrees Fahrenheit and there was no snow cover that is like a zone 3 winter on the plants. Even with mulch I lost a lot of sensitive plants. I always heavily mulch anything that might be inquestion even if it says it is hardy to zone 6 or 5 |
Craig, orientation has a lot to do with it as does microclimate. The Cornell map (good find, makalu!) shows me (in Cold Spring, Putnam County) as 6a, but because I am on the low side of a slope, and I have stone and rock retaining walls facing SW, I consider my property as 6b. I have small pockets of 7, even. Sadly, last winter was a z3 winter for all of us. I couldn't believe the plants I lost. |
In northern Dutchess I used to be zone 4 (average winter low of -25 with excursions to -30) but now consider myself zone 5 with an average low around -22. Last winter the low was -19 but with the layer of ice and then bare ground, winter losses were extensive. My garden has been down to -36 (some years back) and a few winters we didn't get below -15 but we are talking averages here. And I try to take advantage of positions near the house walls for a few things that need it a bit warmer - even in a small garden there are microclimates which can be utilized. |
We live on Barmore Road in Lagrangeville.. I consider us in Zone 6A, but I have to say that last year's winter was made it like a Zone 5. Lost a few plants last year... W |
- Posted by WestchesterGrower Lower NY (My Page) on Sun, Dec 12, 04 at 21:43
Living in Northern Westchester, I guess I can be a 6A. I love meteorlogy and take a big interest in it...Last few winters our coldest temps have been in the -10F up to the 0 Range. Great map, BTW |
- Posted by Shanachie1 z5NY (My Page) on Mon, Dec 27, 04 at 19:43
Wayne - My dad was a landscape designer and lived a few miles north of you (Verbank Road) which he considered a solid zone 5 - he indicated Poughkeepsie was a zone 6 with the river moderation. Of course, we all have micro-climates within our property! |

Breakfast Topic: Are you a WoW cross-dresser? {WoW}
Jan 7th 2012 9:21AM Well, I would have to say that "staying true to my gender" seems a bit funny. I play female characters for a couple of reasons (sexist reason: If I have to stare at an ass for hours on end, let it be a cute one, real reason: I like the female models better than the male models on account of pretty).
How do I stay true? Hell, I don't know. What is "true to my gender"? Does that mean I have to like PvP and Raiding because I'm a dude? Is it wrong for me, as a guy, to love collecting pets and mounts? And to hate super competitive environments like the PvP and Raid scene? To hate theory crafting?
And since WoW is a RPG to begin with, shouldn't I be going for an experience where people actually think that the character I am playing is a genuine girl, rather than a dude picking that race 'cause the girls had the biggest breasts?
The Soapbox: Defining the WoW-killer {Massively}
Nov 17th 2011 10:47AM When I was in my Game Design class last semester, this topic actually came up in our class discussions. Our instructor noted that the only WoW Killer would be a new WoW. While just about every MMORPG is a "cookie-cutter" copy of WoW, why wouldn't they be? It's bar none the most successful MMORPG out there. Everyone wants part of that success.
And in regards to Guild Wars 2 being a WoW Killer... I'm pretty sure that that particular claim is *way* off-base. ArenaNet, and Guild Wars 2, is moving a completely different direction than WoW. An active event system, rather than quests. No "Holy Trinity" (to use the term) Class Structure. STILL no subscription fee. Not to mention ArenaNet is striving to put the RPG back into MMORPG. A personal storyline for your character? That's gold, right there.
Granted, GW2 is going to be a grand experiment in its own right. If it succeeds, we might be seeing more things like it. If it fails, well... I'll be sad to see such a concerted effort at innovation fail.

Breakfast Topic: What caused your first Cataclysm death? {WoW}
Jan 31st 2011 8:14AM My first death was because of the insane respawn rates. I was in Vashj'ir, and every time I killed a quest mob, two more would pop up.
BOOM. I died. >.>
The trouble with tabards {WoW}
Jan 27th 2011 12:02AM Hey, here's an idea! Make tabards learnable (a la pets and mounts) and have their effects be treated as a personal aura. Then, you can just access your tabard tab or whatever and click which ever tabard you want to be active.
And if it's an on-use item, it can be a spell, again like pets and mounts.

Nov 24th 2010 8:36AM Why does everyone start with the achievement Surveying the Damage? When I saw that in the list, I was really disappointed because I had wanted to actually "Survey the Damage" myself. Not just get it as I log in on my character. It seems to me like a really good way to discourage exploring the World after the Shattering. Why did Blizzard do such a thing?

Yes. A thousand effing times YES. I took Business Law this semester and you guys are absolutely right! I'm so glad that someone with some kind of clout is saying this, because if I said it, it would be Troll Central.
Keep up the good work, folks! Removing ignorance is for the best!

I snap ya shoulder blade in half, laugh and pop shit
from Ghostface Killah (Ft. The Delphonics, Raekwon & RZA) – After the Smoke is Clear Lyrics on Genius
Ghostface would get into club fights with 5 people at once in his early clan days (this is mentioned in the Wu Manual), so the capability to snap a shoulder in half seems plausible. After this, he laughs and drinks to celebrate.

Courses Taken on Satisfactory/No Credit or Credit/No Credit Basis
A maximum of 36 units of credit (including activity courses) taken at Stanford or its overseas campuses for a "CR" or "S" grade may be applied towards the 180 (225 if dual degrees are being pursued) units required for the bachelor's degree. The maximum for transfer students is 27 units.
Departments may also limit the number of satisfactory or credit courses accepted towards the requirements for a major. Satisfactory/Credit courses applied towards a minor may be similarly limited. Courses not letter-graded are not accepted in fulfillment of the General Education Requirements. Writing in the Major courses are usually offered letter grade only. In those instances where the course is offered for a letter grade or CR/NC, the course must be taken for a letter grade to fulfill the Writing in the Major requirement.

Three or four years ago, my husband built me a test bed to see how serious I was about the gardening. We added two more since then, though one of those was torn down this year due to rotted wood. Since it's too hot to do much outside besides the minimum maintenance, I'm already thinking about next year. :) We are going to be rebuilding and adding new beds for next year. Also, we're looking at doing some drip irrigation systems for next year. I'm looking for recommendations on this, plus just general help in making some decisions. I'm short, so the interior of the beds would not exceed three feet in width. I grow tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, peppers, and will probably be branching out to lettuces, kale, etc. I was looking at these different products: If I were to plant in the holes, it would only be ever fourth one or so, to give me room to sit. And I'm not to keen on the 12" ones, because of the added size of the bed. What am I missing? I'm sure I've not considered about a gazillion variables yet. Of course, that's part of the fun. wonderpets |
Here is a link that might be useful: Block Specs
Follow-Up Postings:
I've seen some really nice cinderblock raised beds. They do not deteriorate over time like wood ones, although some wood-sided garden can last a while. Small herb are good to plant in the holes, or you could go with marigolds and nasturtiums to add some color. The one in the photo has been finished off on top (obviously), but I've seen others that had open block on top for small plants. |
I have several beds made from cinder blocks. If you want to sit on them, I would suggest 8x8x16. I have mine at different levels. Some are just one level, mainly for a divider between plants and pathway. Most are two high, easy to sit on and reach into. I also have a few that are three high, great for potatoes, as I can take the blocks off to get to the potatoes easier. Cattle panels are great from one bed to the other. i have grown pie pumkins on them. but now have dedicated them to my tomatoes. All of the garden is on a drip system and timer. Love my garden! |
I used a mix of the traditional blocks and the 4x4x4 blocks. |

So when I ordered a piece of custom jewelry from my new sponsor, Lisa Leonard Designs, I thought that line was just the perfect inspirational text for a classic silver circle. Isn't it lovely?
So a very overdue welcome to Lisa Leonard Designs. Was really close to getting this adorable tree design instead but went with the practical option instead. I just might just have to order that one for a future bride. If you are in the shopping mood, please check out Lisa Leonards entire line.

Leader in Conspiracy That Smuggled Drugs in Car Batteries Sentenced to over 13 Years in Prison
Greenbelt, Maryland - Chief U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow sentenced Miguel Osvaldo Bolanos-Acevedo, a/k/a "El Cochero," age 48, a Guatemalan national, today to 160 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine. Bolanos-Acevedo was extradited to the United States from Guatemala to face these charges.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Ava Cooper-Davis of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division; Special Agent in Charge William Winter of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Chief J. Thomas Manger of the Montgomery County Department of Police.
"This is an excellent example of our determination to prosecute international drug conspiracies wherever the defendants may be operating," stated Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge Ava A. Cooper-Davis, "Miguel Osvaldo Bolanos-Acevedo distributed dangerous narcotics from his hideout in Guatemala to the streets of Maryland cities. We are safer today with him behind bars."
According to Bolanos-Acevedo's guilty plea, from at least February 2001 through February 2004, Bolanos-Acevedo was one of the leaders of a Guatemala-based drug smuggling organization responsible for the importation of kilogram quantities of cocaine and heroin from Guatemala to the United States. The drugs were hidden inside functioning car batteries. Each battery contained between three and five kilograms of cocaine or heroin. The narcotics were owned by Bolanos-Acevedo and transported by co-conspirators in the Maryland area. Bolanos-Acevedo employed multiple individuals to import, transport and deliver cocaine and heroin, as well as, collect and transport drug proceeds from the U.S. to Guatemala. Bolanos-Acevedo is responsible for the distribution of between fifty and one hundred fifty kilograms of cocaine during the time of the conspiracy.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys Jonathan Su and James M. Trusty, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

For nine nights, the 19th-century village will be illuminated by candlelight and visitors can enjoy the sights and sounds of the season, including sleigh rides, musicians, both Father Christmas and Santa Claus, and strolling carolers in period costume. Old Sturbridge Village historians will demonstrate and explain the history of many of our most well-known Christmas traditions. Christmas by Candlelight will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings Dec 3 to 5, 10 to 12 and 17 to 19 from 4 to 9 p.m. The nostalgic look at the holiday's roots includes the real stories behind Christmas trees, Yule logs, poinsettias, the practice of exchanging gifts, and more. The history of favorite Christmas foods like roasted chestnuts, gingerbread, and fruit cake will be explained and samples will be available for tasting. Visitors can also vote for their favorite entry in OSV's annual Gingerbread House Contest. Hands-on activities include making a Christmas keepsake while learning about the history of Christmas cards and making a tin ornament while finding out the history of Christmas tree decorations. Visitors can also listen to a reading of A Visit from St. Nicholas ('Twas the Night Before Christmas)," learn the dance from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," and join in the popular group carol singing. Professional musicians, as well as student and community groups, will perform throughout the nine-night event. Several are returning from last year, including Full Gael, Worcester Men of Song, Quintebrass, and student musicians from Tantasqua and Shepard Hill High Schools. The schedule also includes some making their Christmas by Candlelight debut, including the Pioneer Valley Singers and the Merrimack Valley Ringers. A current schedule is listed below, but for the most up to date information, go to www.osv.org. Tickets are available for $14 or $12 for Old Sturbridge Village members in advance through www.osv.org or 800-SEE-1830. Tickets can be applied to any of the nine Christmas by Candlelight dates, and the date of attendance does not need to be specified at the time of purchase. The museum gift shop and Oliver Wight Tavern will be open for holiday shopping and dining. Christmas by Candlelight is sponsored by Fallon Community Health Plan and TD Bank. In order to focus on the evening holiday events, Old Sturbridge Village will be closed during the day from Dec. 1 to 25. The Village will be open for Christmas by Candlelight on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from 4 to 9 p.m. Dec. 3 to 5; Dec.10 to 12, and Dec. 17 to 19. The Village will return to a daytime schedule for its popular school vacation week activities Dec. 26 to Jan. 2. Old Sturbridge Village Christmas by Candlelight Schedule of Performances

LED lights could become network devices, too
Today, you've got wireless networks that use radio waves and you've got optical networks that use light traveling in tiny glass fibers. Tomorrow, if Fraunhofer Institute research comes to fruition, a combination of the two could turn living-room lights into network devices.
The German applied-research lab has developed wireless networking that uses rapidly blinking LEDs to transmit data through the air. The technology can send data at speeds up to 1 gigabit per second -- and by using three colors of light, triple that data rate is possible, Fraunhofer said.
The technology could be useful in crowded, interference-prone … Read more

After decades of winning the admiration of stock-car racing fans with his aggressive driving strategy and off-track charisma, Rusty Wallace now gives others the chance to experience the rush of racing. He joined forces with Sodikart to roll out the Rusty Wallace Kart Experience, pairing kart with driver at some of the country's most celebrated racetracks. Racers can hop in a custom RT8 (or its kid-friendly counterpart, the LR4) and hit the gas, tearing up everything from the versatile road courses and speedy main track of the Atlanta Motor Speedway to the challenging lava pits of the Milwaukee Mile.
But this go-karting business has a big brother?the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. It's a high-speed trip into the pro-racing trade, with breathtaking ride-alongs and racing experiences in stock cars. Guests buckle up and sit shotgun alongside professional drivers as they fly down straightaways and around curves. They can even get behind the wheel themselves, finally feeling what it's like to be a professional driver.
There are a few sounds that inherently bring joy to the ears and heart: the opening of a bag of nacho chips, the adoring bark of a sea lion, and the rumble of a bowling ball down a high-gloss lane, culminating in an explosion of pins. Treat yourself, your friends, or your kids to a night of joyous sounds and unmitigated fun at Brunswick. All Brunswick Zone locations offer a fantastic family environment that's also great for catching up with old buddies or treating your sweetheart to a fun date. This Groupon gets you two games of rambunctious fun, as well as free rental of stylish footwear—the real draw at a bowling center. You can purchase multiple Groupons to bring friends along, and if you redeem three in one visit, you can bring an additional three friends for two hours of free bowling and shoe rental, effectively doubling the power of your Groupon.
Founded by Floyd "Butch" and Pearl Overly in 1972, the NASCAR–sanctioned Motordrome Speedway entertains fans with weekly automotive racing contests on its half-mile-long asphalt track. With this deal, you get tickets to a select Friday-night race that features five racing divisions, including street stock (American non-sports cars) and charger (American stock autos built between 1970–1990), each NWAAS racing event displays a variety of vehicle and racing styles. Made up of mostly local teams and drivers, the races give auto aficionados the chance show off their driving skills without jumping over gorges during a DMV driving test. With a community-friendly atmosphere involving many of the racers' own families, the Motordrome allows visitors to bring their own comestibles and drinks in a 14-inch or smaller cooler, and parking for the events is free.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.
Pittsburgh Ladies Fest has something for everyone?among a slew of activites, there are makeovers and facials, shopping and seminars, a fashion runway and food samples from chefs. And all the fun is not without a purpose. The exposition's goal is to emphasize how important it is for women to take time for themselves, tend to their bodies, and live a healthy lifestyle. Visitors can meet with health professionals for advice on aging or caring for families, and they can attend seminars in finance, home decor, and other topics that enrich lives and fill brains with juicy knowledge.

So did Jeff, here. He just looked happy and comfortable with the world.

I have two old craftsman sabre saws that need blades. One, I have owned for 40 years and the other was inherited from an uncle.
They each have one blade in them and they both run good. Yesterday, I went looking for more blades at Home Depot for the future and discovered that the old blades with two holes in the shank are no longer made. Sears cannot get them either. Does anyone know of a source for these blades. I hate to throw away tools that are in perfect running order just because of their age. Thanks |

I have a SEARS CRAFTSMAN 1/2" SABRE/JIG SAW~#315.17215~Variable. I've had it 40 years and use Lesco "Fit All Jig Saws Universal Shank" blades. #U101B for cutting wood/plastic and U118A for cutting metal. BUT! I have to grind the end slightly for the one hole to line-up. These blades will fit my Black & Decker also. One link is at: http://www.dahlstrom.us/Jig_saw.html It appears Bosch and Lesto are related?? Good luck! loger |
Dustcollector and Loger Thanks for the help. I tried the links that you both provided and it looks like they have blades that would work. I made a return trip to Sears where a different saleman said that even though they did not have them, what I need is a "U" shank with a hole in it. In order to try to get something locally, I went to a nearby Harbor Freight store. They had a set of blades that work. It is a 30 piece set of various sizes and was only $11.99 including a nylon pouch to carry them. These blades fit perfectly and 30 of them should last quite a while. I have bought a lot of tools at Harbor Freight (no power tools though) and have never had a problem with any of them. Some are an even better buy than those I find at other local stores. Thanks for taking the time to respond. If you hadn't, I would have probably thrown away these tools and replaced them. Now, with two of them and all of these blades, I should be set for many more years of use. Sorry it took so long to reply but I wanted to resolve this before responding. |
Good Deal! I agree that H/F prices are un-matched. I limit my purchases to non-mechanical and non-electrical items. Initially I could find some brand items as DeWalt cutting and grinding wheels. I feel that has changed. |
loger I also limit my purchases to non-mechanical and non-electrical items. I have no experience with them but have read too many postings that mentioned problems with those products. |
I found blades for my old craftsman sabre saw. I actually had an empty package still in the box. "Blu-mol" jig saw blades-available at tools-n-hardware.com. "U" shank with a hole in it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: tools-n-hardware

William Blake's Sexual Path to Spiritual Vision, by Martha Keith Schuchard
Inner Traditions, 9781594772115, 415 pp., 2008
This is the first paperback issue in this country of a book originally published in 2006 in the U.K. It had its origin in scholarly research but has been diminished in size and complexity, although not in quality, to produce a book more likely to appeal to a non-academic audience.
There is a large amount of background data provided on the subject of 18th and 19th century esoterica. This is important to provide a solid base for the understanding of Blake and his works.
As I have commented in previous reviews of books issued by this company, this is not a book for the casual reader. It presupposes a certain level of familiarity with the general topic right from the outset. If you know nothing about William Blake or the esoteric milieu of his time, you will find yourself playing catch-up from the start.
For those readers whose perceptions of our ancestors are summed up in the word "puritanical," this book will be a real eye-opener. Those who are familiar with the Hell Fire Club and similar societies will not so easily be offended. There is a great deal about the works of William Blake, poetic and artistic, which has gone unnoticed because of censorship and suppression by religious conservatives and his descendants.
Similarities between the beliefs espoused by William Blake and some of his contemporaries and the "sexual revolution" of the late twentieth century are easily seen. So too are the similarities between the reactions by the conservative elements in both societies.
Dr. Schuchard (Ph.D. in British literature) has worked diligently to present information which expands our understanding of William Blake's lifetime (1757-1827), and its impact on his own and subsequent generations. He has been praised and vilified; exalted and suppressed; called a genius and a pervert. Modern research has done much to flesh out the perceptions which have existed, and the author has made a major contribution by assembling much of this newly discovered information into an easily accessible, and readable, book. You don't need to lock yourself away in a musty library (remember them – the pre-Internet information sources?) to find this information.
There are numerous illustrations throughout the book, although I would have liked to see several more, especially in reference to some of his major works.
The end-notes and bibliography comprise nearly a fifth of the entire book, which gives you an idea of the depth of research which went into this book. They offer a rich source of further information for those individuals who desire it.

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 Fritz- $45 Adoption Fee!
Facts about Fritz- $45 Adoption Fee
- Breed: Chihuahua/Pug Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Fritz- $45 Adoption Fee's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Fritz, approximately 4 years old, neutered, 14 lbs, heart worm negative, Fritz can be a tad noisy in his kennel but he is a tad scared in that noisy place, once he is outside he bonds quickly with his person and shows how sweet he is, he has obviously been someone's baby and wanted us to do something but we aren't sure what he wants, he enjoys attention and being pet (once he is comfortable with you), okay being picked up and does the little dog hop up, not interested in toys at this time, loves to sit in your lap, alert, responsive, enjoys being outside, his ears perk up and he gets excited when you ask him if he wants to go for a walk, Fritz is a sweet boy who will be a wonderful companion for someone in a quiet home
Other Pets at Tehama County Animal Care Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fritz- $45 Adoption Fee, a Red Bluff Chihuahua/Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Pug for sale in Red Bluff, or seeking a Chihuahua/Pug dog from a breeder in Red Bluff.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Red Bluff 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 Red Bluff 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 Chihuahua/Pug breeders who help with Chihuahua/Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Red Bluff paves the way for another one to be saved.
