Cowboys release franchise sacks leader Ware By: SCHUYLER DIXON, AP Sports WriterIRVING, Texas (AP) -- The Dallas Cowboys are releasing franchise sacks leader DeMarcus Ware to save salary cap room after the worst season of his career.Owner Jerry Jones said in a statement it was "extremely difficult" to make a decision announced just as free agency opened Tuesday.Ware broke Harvey Martin's 30-year-old franchise record for sacks in 2013, but got to the quarterback a career-low six times and missed games for the first time in his nine-year career.Ware was set to count $16 million against the salary cap. His release saves about $7.4 million and gives Dallas about $9 million to spend at the moment.The 31-year-old Ware had 117 sacks in Dallas and went to seven Pro Bowls.

And you're absolutely right, the Rings trilogy is infinitely better in book form.
Things like ElWood's forever furrowed brow didn't let me take the film seriously.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Carny or carnie is a slang term used in North America for a carnival employee, and the language they use, particularly when the employee runs a "joint" (booth), "grab joint" (food stand), game, or ride at a carnival, boardwalk or amusement park. The term "showie" is used synonymously in Australia.
Carny is thought to have become popularized around 1931 in North America, when it was first colloquially used to describe one who works at a carnival.[1] The word carnival, originally meaning a "time of merrymaking before Lent," came into use circa 1549.
The carny vocabulary is traditionally part of carnival cant, a secret language. It is an ever-changing form of communication, in large part designed to be impossible to understand by an outsider.[2] As words are assimilated into the culture at large, they lose their function and are replaced by more obscure or insular terms.[citation needed] Most carnies no longer use cant, but many owners/operators and "old-timers" still use some of the classic terms.
In addition to carny jargon, some carnival workers used a special infix ("earz" or "eez" or "iz") to render regular language unintelligible to outsiders. This style eventually migrated into wrestling, hip hop, and other parts of modern culture.[3]
The British form of fairground cant is called "Parlyaree".

Hi, I have three beautiful bamboo plants and they are doing quite well but last week some animal started eating/decimating them. I think it's a mouse of some sort as I can see a few rather small black "poops" on the deck around the plants. I've attempted to block off any way of the mice getting into the deck area and I've built these (see photos) sheet metal barriers around the planters to try to keep them out. They seem to come both during the day when we are at work and during the night. Has any one had this problem before? I did a search on GW and saw someone talking about Sparrows eating her Bamboo but I don't see any references to mice eating them. Any one have any thoughts about how I can stop this since my sheet metal barriers don't seem to be working?
And why the heck are they eating them in the first place? Really strange. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think it's mice or birds. However, squirrels are notorious for destroying bamboo shoots...they like the high sugar content in the tender shoots. To deal with this problem, see my answer in this forum to the poster whose topic is: "squirrels chewing moso shoots." |

Would like a little more sun than the other 3, and to get much more dry between waterings. Are you new to house plants in general? No matter what you're using, phone or computer, this forum does one pic per post. You can put them in a new discussion, or add to a same discussion. I think it's less confusing to do ID requests in separate discussions but it's up to what you prefer, they're your discussions. |

I'm fairly new to house plants... I inherited some from my mom when she got sick and also began purchasing some all along. I started this new hobby last fall. I love gardening outside ( I call it "playing in the dirt") and its a great stress reliever. I found I had less of an outdoor gardening season in northern VA and I had a need to bring life indoors... Which began my indoor gardening. Im finding it more of a challenge than i expected, but i enjoy a good challenge! in fact, I will be posting some pictures later requesting help for damage control. I have done some research and am learning that i have a LOT to learn!! Mostly about the type of soil to use. I have also learned that I'm over watering. The combo of heavy soil and too much water is causing some of my plants to rot.... So I'm "playing in the dirt today" :) |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Sun, Jun 2, 13 at 18:45
I wish I'd learned that stuff right away. You can water less, of course and/or change the type of soil you use. This article should be helpful. The term overwatering is really a misnomer, the moisture staying in the soil too long is the real culprit. I like watering plants, and changing soil types has made a world of difference. |

Traditional education is structured and formal – given by an institution (school, university) and leading to a qualification.
Informal learning is the opposite: stuff you learn unintentionally in your daily work, family or leisure activities.
Non-formal learning lies somewhere between these 2 extremes. It can be structured, with learning objectives – but usually happens outside formal institutions: in workshops, seminars, community courses, the workplace or even through sport.
It can be learning on your own initiative, or as a consequence of other activities.
Whatever form it takes, you can now get formal recognition for things you learn like this – through the Youthpass.
And in recent years, more organisations have started to realise that all learning is valuable, and to recognise both non-formal and informal learning as equivalent to formal learning.

Cool compacts with a little SSomething extra under the hood and a little more SStyle inside and out are all about the SSizzle. In this case, Super Sport SSizzle.
Cool compacts with a little SSomething extra under the hood and a little more SStyle inside and out are all about the SSizzle. In this case, Super Sport SSizzle.
Most compact cars are commonly viewed as utilitarian transportation modules that emphasize affordability and fuel savings. But among this group of timid pussycats are a few roaring tigers that are impressive to look at and are fast on their feet when the need arises.
The Chevrolet Cobalt SS coupe and sedan and HHR SS define the latter group. Originally developed by General Motors Performance Division (GMPD), both are based on their respective (and more sedate) base models and have been fortified with appearance and performance upgrades that significantly alter the way they look and drive.
The current generation of compact SS (Super Sport) models was introduced part way into the 2008 model year using turbocharged rather than the supercharged engines found in previous models. For 2009, Chevrolet has seen fit to expand the line to encompass the Cobalt's four-door sedan as well as the panel van variant of the HHR.
The SS models have been fitted with distinctive mesh-style grilles and body work although the HHR wagon's front features a more prominent bumper that's positioned well forward of the hood and headlights. Extra side skirting and a rear spoiler is also part of the package along with a set of 18-inch forged aluminum wheels, two inches larger than those used on base Cobalt and HHR.
Inside are SS-badged sport seats with simulated suede inserts and a revamped analog cluster with a turbo boost gauge. An optional built-in dash screen can display zero-to-60-mph and quarter-mile times, braking performance and the amount of lateral cornering grip being generated.
Common to these SS-designated Chevy models is a suspension package with a wide assortment of upgrades such as beefy stabilizer bars, stiffer springs and specially tuned shocks. Also fitted are Brembo-brand front brakes built to complement the added firepower. The changes are most noticeable in a slightly lowered and more aggressive stance that looks good and aids cornering agility (close to 1.0 g in the Cobalt's case).
GM's Bowtie division also claims that the SS suspension all but eliminates that annoying tendency for front-wheel-drive cars to pull to one side under hard acceleration, a condition commonly referred to as torque steer. Speaking of power, the heart and soul of these spirited machines is a turbocharged 260-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Directing a healthy 250 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels is the job of a five-speed manual transmission controlled by a short-throw shifter for quicker gear changes. In the case of the HHR there's an available four-speed automatic, but that drops the engine ratings to 250 horsepower and 223 pound-feet of torque.
According to Chevrolet, the Cobalt SS can reach 60 mph from a standing start in 5.7 seconds, while the HHR SS, which is heavier, needs 6.3 seconds.
As with many performance vehicles from a variety of manufacturers, the SS Chevys have undergone rigorous testing at Germany's brutally tough Nürburgring racing circuit where the Cobalt version set a class record for the quickest lap time.
As a classy and compact vehicles, the SS models come with air conditioning, cruise control, fog lights, a variety of power-operated accessories and a seven-speaker audio system. Of course there's an arms-length list of available features such as a power sunroof, upgraded audio package and a highly recommended limited-slip differential.
The HHR SS and Cobalt SS are tempting packages that take a thrifty approach to the business of having fun. Both provide the right kind of equipment enthusiasts look for in a sporty set of wheels and they look sharp to boot. Whether it's the coupe, sedan, wagon or van style that suits your fancy, a Super Sport in your driveway practically guarantees more "SS-izzle" in your life.

Cascadia, where moral hand-wringing is an Olympic sport
The New York Times last week ran a story about how the Vancouver Olympics had not done much to advance the concept of Cascadia, the idea that the Pacific Northwest is kind of an eco-economic region of its own, stretching from British Columbia to Northern California.
Cascadia is the "Salish Sea" of regional political identity, an idealistic and unifying sense of place, climate, water, trees, and aspirations. The article struck me as interesting because it was an example of how the 2010 Winter Olympics have been freighted with baggage.
The regional concept appears to have been a bit of a bust: there were no hordes of tourists flocking to cross the border between Washington and British Columbia. In fact, traffic appeared to be lighter than usual as American Cascadian locals were scared off, tickets hard to come by, and new border travel rules (got to have a passport) restrictive. British Columbians weren't spending billions to host the 2010 Olympics to advance regional prosperity, but their own. They weren't out to make Cascadia a household word but to enhance Vancouver's global status. Cascadia's other capitals, Seattle, Portland and, arguably, San Francisco, could shift for themselves.
There's nothing wrong with that. When Seattle hosted the WTO Summit in 1999, it did so for parochial reasons: the mayor and a port commissioner led the charge of make Seattle a "world class" city. And each of Cascadia's major cities has hosted world's fairs with the same kind of intent: to be seen as a player in international, and especially Pacific, affairs. Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Spokane and San Francisco have all hosted expositions (some multiple times) as a way of highlighting themselves as the portal to the future. San Francisco attempted to capitalize on the revolutionary Panama Canal, Portland commemorated the glorious path to the Pacific blazed by Lewis and Clark, Seattle established itself as the gateway to Alaska and the Yukon and as the launch pad for Century 21, and Spokane held the first ever environmentally themed world's fair in 1974.
Within the Cascadia concept, regional and metropolitan competition still booms. In a meeting with Seattle Port Commissioners last summer, I was told that the major threat to our economic future was what the British Columbians were cooking up in terms of Port competitiveness to undercut Puget Sound shipping.
Still, the sounds of the Cascadian dream can be heard in the kind of moral freighting that hosting the Vancouver Olympics carried. Yes, there was the importance of pulling off an Olympics that enhanced Canadian national pride. (Thank goodness our neighbors to the north won the hockey gold medal! I can hardly imagine what the brooding giant would have done had they lost; doubtless no American pig on the border would have been safe due to settling old scores here!) But beyond that, there was a high bar set for expectations. The Olympics organizer's promised that these games would be "the greenest games ever," and that Vancouverites "want to become the green capital and take leadership in the future of the planet."
Vancouver hoped to be a spiritual role model as well, interesting for a city in a province that is so secular (it is Cascadia's most unchurched zone). The Christian community was out in force providing food, shelter and sanctuary for Olympics guests, with a kind of "How would Jesus host" ethos. The blog The Search carried a story about a group of Canadian evangelicals and Roman Catholics called More Than Gold that pledged to offer the "'radical hospitality' of Jesus Christ to Olympic visitors." Which version of Jesus they did not specify, but I think it's safe to assume it was not the "cage fighter Jesus" popular among some of Seattle's evangelicals. He was probably checking out the risky bobsled and luge runs.
Other Vancouverites took the opportunity to engage in some introspection. The Vancouver Sun's always interesting religion and values writer, Douglas Todd, who is a Cascadia concept booster, wrote about how locals were looking for ways to "respond authentically" to the games, meaning, could they participate in such a commercial, expensive and boosterish enterprise without surrendering their souls? The polls, he reported, highlighted a conflict: as of mid-February, 60 percent of Vancouverites thought the games a waste of money, but over 70 percent said they were proud of the athletes.

Whether you call it a sense of superiority or not, I think we're all aware that we live is a special region of the world and that lots of people and groups are working very hard to live harmonious,creative and productive lives I don't think we're called to be a utopia and to live out someone's vision of a super-region, but to be decent human beings trying to improve our little corner of the planet. When we fall short of the mark, I don't call that corrupt, but human.
Re our Canadian neighbors, watching the Olympics gave me an unexpected burst of appreciation. I liked the qualities of persistence, hard work, a creative impulse, the competitive urge, and a spirited sense of exuberance and good humor. The Canadian national anthem is still rattling around my brain, and I'm grateful.
Thanks for the essay.

Fun piece, Skip, but the last word should have been "contradiction," not corruption. It's not corrupt to want it both ways, just human. At bottom, we Boomers are all BoBo's (Bourgeois Bohemians), as David Brooks rightly nails us.

Good post. Other than the regional environment, Cascadia lacks an organizing focus*. No late warlike attacks from without to bond the locals as a group, English as a common language but not much of a distinguishing local dialect (alas, poor Chinook Jargon), people arriving from around the world in dribs and drabs without any single group to crystalize around, a diverse spiritual outlook that is also friendly to the ungodly, and although a local cultural dynamic is slowly emerging, with less than 160 years of local history to build on it still has a ways yet to go. Heck, does Greater Salishistan include Spokane and it's Inland Empire? Where does Alaska end and Cascadia begin? And as you infer, The Bay may or may not be a part of Cascadia, with the unmentioned buffer State of Jefferson inbetween. So, no distinct borders, no identity of as a people, no overarching connection spiritually or historically. What is that which will brand us as distinctive?

The search for a replacement for Leandro Barbosa, out for up to 10 days with a sore left ankle, is on. The Suns are looking at players in the National Basketball Developmental League, among other minor leagues, including point guards with NBA experience such as Smush Parker (who started this season on Detroit's roster) and Omar Cook, Suns president Bryan Colangelo said Monday.
The Suns could sign somebody to a 10-day contract as early as today, Colangelo said.
Barbosa is expected to go on the injured list. Starter Steve Nash also is banged up with thigh and back ailments.
The Suns also are surveying the trade market. Thanks to their trade of Zarko Cabarkapa to Golden State, they have an exception to the salary cap that would allow them to sign a player who makes up to $1.4 million without shipping anybody out.
"We're looking for a player who would fit the needs of the team," Colangelo said. That presumably means somebody who could give them scoring punch off the bench.
"No conversations of significance" have taken place involving trading away a player currently on the Suns' roster, he said.
By losing four straight, the Suns have lost some of the swagger they built up in running up a 31-4 record, the sixth-fastest start ever among teams with four losses.
"Win a few games and we'll get it back," said Suns coach Mike D'Antoni.
"We all looked at this month as the toughest month," he said of the January schedule, which has them playing 11 of 17 on the road. "We'll get through it."
The slump also put into question the Suns' leadership in the absence of Steve Nash.
Shawn Marion, who is in his sixth year with the club, making him the "Senior Sun", suggested there's only so much he can do because he "doesn't have the ball" in his hands.
"The best way is to lead by example," said Marion, saying he would try to "be vocal on defense" and be as active as possible all over the floor.
Here are some numbers from the four-game trip:
• Amaré Stoudemire averaged 21.8 points on 39 percent shooting plus 9.3 rebounds.
His season numbers are 25.7 points on 56 percent shooting plus 8.7 rebounds.
• Shawn Marion averaged 14.3 points on 44 percent shooting plus 7.8 rebounds.
His season numbers are 19.3 points on 48 percent shooting plus 10.6 rebounds.
• Quentin Richardson averaged 16.3 points on 32 percent shooting, including 22 percent on 3-pointers.
His season numbers are 15.5 points on 37 percent shooting, including 34 percent on 3-pointers.
• Joe Johnson remained solid with 17.0 points on 47 percent shooting plus 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
His numbers on the season are 15.6 points on 44 percent shooting, plus 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
About 400 of the 2,000 tickets priced at $10 set aside for tonight's game were still available as of late Tuesday afternoon. The proceeds go to disaster relief in South Asia. The tickets can be purchased online at Suns.com. ...
The Suns will donate $100 for each point the club scores. Also, the American Red Cross will have tables located throughout the arena to collect donations from fans. Each fan who donates at least $10 will receive a 2004-05 Suns Yearbook.

New England's colonial history is part of its charm and understated elegance. It's why we love to walk along its picturesque seaport roads, stay in its re-imagined historic buildings, and enjoy it's time-worn traditions when we visit.
When you visit our Portsmouth boutique hotel, there's a particularly unique way to connect with local history: The Strawberry Banke Museum.
Imagined as a place where guests can reach into the past through vibrant living experiences, Strawberry Banke re-creates the day-to-day life of multiple eras of Portsmouth's history. Visitors can experience for themselves just how people lived over nearly four centuries in this ever-changing community.
The 10-acre site features preserved historic homes and shops, period gardens, and is populated with costumed actors who recreate a time capsule of authentic hustle and bustle.
In the summer and fall months, the museum is host to a number of unique festivals—including the upcoming New Hampshire Fall Festival on October 11th. Named the best of New Hampshire's fall festivals, this harvest celebration includes local crafts, live animal demonstrations, workshops on fiber arts, food preservation and demonstrations on historic trades and industries.
And coming up in late October, you can visit the Banke for a spooky peek into days gone by with the museum's famous halloween celebration. You'll be able to trick or treat throughout the historic community while rubbing elbows with long-dead sea captains and infamous pirates. And if you're inspired to get your costume on, you can even opt to march in the New Orleans style costume parade through the village's ghostly lanes.
While there's so much contemporary creativity to enjoy in New England—and Portsmouth in particular—we love how places like Strawberry Banke invite visitors to connect to the history that gives our region it's quintessential character. Taking a historic detour is a great way to add something utterly unique and eye-opening to your next trip!

Do Blacks and Hispanics Get Along?
In general the nation's two largest minorities think well of each other, but there are some important differences, a Pew survey finds.
The South Carolina Democratic Primary in Black and White
This time, the pre-election polls understated Barack Obama's support among both white and black voters.
Race, Ethnicity and Campaign '08
Race, ethnicity and politics can sometimes make for a volatile mix, but a poll finds that race relations in this country are on a pretty even keel.
The Immigration Debate: Controversy Heats Up, Hispanics Feel a Chill
The 2007 National Survey of Latinos finds that Hispanics in the U.S. are feeling a range of negative effects from increased public attention and stepped up enforcement measures.
English Usage among Hispanics in the United States
A new analysis of six Pew Hispanic Center surveys finds a dramatic increase in English-language ability from one generation of Hispanics to the next.
Blacks See Growing Values Gap Between Poor and Middle Class
African Americans see a widening gulf between the values of middle class and poor blacks, and nearly four-in-ten say that because of the diversity within their community, blacks can no longer be thought of as a single race, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
A Changing Racial and Ethnic Mix in U.S. Public Schools
A new analysis of public school enrollment data by the Pew Hispanic Center finds that in the dozen years from 1993-94 to 2005-06, white students became significantly less isolated from minority students while, at the same time, black and Hispanic students became slightly more isolated from white students.
Black Enthusiasm for Clinton and Obama Leaves Little Room for Edwards
The popularity of the two top contenders among key segments of the Democratic electorate may help explain why Edwards's populist platform has not drawn wider support so far.
¡Here Come 'Los Evangélicos'!
Next week's National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. illustrates the growing presence and increasing political influence of Latino evangelicals. If Republicans have a prayer of making deep inroads into the Hispanic community, evangelicals may well provide their most direct route.
Changing Faiths: Latinos and the Transformation of American Religion
Hispanics are altering the profile of American religion by their growing numbers and by their distinctive practice of Christianity. A new study by the Pew Hispanic Center and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life also finds Latinos' influence on U.S. politics and public affairs is strongly affected by the particular characteristics of their faith.

Whirlpool Corp.'s KitchenAid brand expanded it longstanding sponsorship of the Food & Wine Classic, which took place June 14-16 in Aspen, CO. The event included demonstrations by chefs such as Mario Batali, Jacques Pepin, Marcus Samuelsson, and others. Chef demonstrations took place in four KitchenAid demonstration kitchens stationed throughout the event space. KitchenAid also displayed its latest products in the event's Grand Tasting Pavilion. "For decades we've been proud to provide appliances and culinary demonstration stages for a 'Who's Who' of participating chefs," notes Beth Robinson, senior manager of brand experience for KitchenAid. "This year, we looked for ways to share some of the great culinary inspiration and instruction from the event with those who can't be there." Food & Wine and KitchenAid will produce a series of 10 video segments derived from 10 of the event's chef demonstrations. The segments will be posted on FoodandWine.com and shared by KitchenAid via such social media channels as Facebook and YouTube. Videos will include tips from chefs on a variety of topics, ranging from food and wine pairings to best uses for special ingredients, and will serve as quick, informative guides for cooks to watch and learn from the pros. The Classic Cooking demonstrations and Chef Tips will also air on Amex TV, American Express' new interactive television brand channel. As in years past, attendees also had the opportunity to bid on stand mixers signed by celebrity chefs at live Cook for the Cure auctions held during cooking demonstrations. Cook for the Cure, a partnership between KitchenAid and Susan G. Komen, has raised more than $9 million to support the fight against breast cancer.

I'm a professional quitter and I'm also a bulldog. So, it's official: I'm a walking paradox and don't make sense.
I'm a bulldog about integrity. I will scrap over people I love and don't care if you share my feelings. I lose sleep over how to make wrong things in the world right.
But I'm also the Runaway Bride. Don't pin me in a corner or I'll lose my mind trying to find a way out. If it means you might hurt my feelings, I'd rather just run far, far away. I will quit you before you can quit me.
I realized not that long ago, that wanting to quit was a running theme of my life, and that it was something I was tired of struggling with.
So I decided to ask myself some hard questions to find out what was really going on so I could work on changing it:
- When you feel like you want to quit, what has just happened?
- When you don't feel this way, what has changed?
- What part of God's character do you not fully grasp to allow this struggle to continue?
The last question might at first seem out of place – what our struggle has to do with God. But at the core of everything for the believer, it is always about our ultimate reliance on His character and the belief that He can help us change.
And like it or not, here's the truth: when we struggle with the same thing over and over again, it's a symptom that there is an issue not settled with God.
I realized that for me, the symptom of wanting to quit was most often tied to a feeling of inadequacy. My strongest feelings of wanting to quit came when I wasn't as successful as I wanted to be, something didn't work out like I planned, or I didn't get the human approval I was seeking. At the core, it was an issue of my lack of trust in God – to truly be sovereign and have my life in His hands…to know better than me…to always be enough.
What's your struggle?
Call it by name. Ask yourself the 3 hard questions. Be sick of it enough to finally let it go. Pray hard for it to change.
It can.

Tell us about your experience at Spice Route
A superb tasting seated on the veranda overlooking the magnificent valley. A very beautiful venue with nice restaurant and well serviced accommodation.
Only been to the restaurant and the lunch we enjoyed was tasty and satisfying. Will definitely pay them a visit again soon. The beer tasting alone is apparently worth a reason to visit.
They have turned this wine farm into an almost 'all day venue' – with excellent wine tastings, pairings, etc and then there is the beer and biltong tasting, pizzeria and Grappa, fine dining and glass blowing… and a good view thrown in. Love the Flagship Syrah.
Previously known as Seidelberg, and recently purchased by Charles Back of Fairview fame. A superb group tasting very ably hosted by Catherine, while seated on the lawns overlooking the magnificent valley below. Choose 6 wines for a fee of R25.00, which is not waived on purchase. SR now boasts a beer brewery and Biltong Bar on site. Would recommend that you visit.
It was an awesome experience, with great food.

Winemaker's Notes:

My Notes:
About Leth:
The Wagram, a rocky outcrop which stretches across the north bank of the Danube all the way from Krems to east of Vienna, is the distinct location where our grapevines grow. The area looks back on a one thousand-year old history of winegrowing. Already the Romans had recognized the favorable environment for growing wine grapes. Grüner Veltliner feels particularly well on the gentle loess terraces oriented almost exclusively towards the south. It is there where Grüner Veltliner develops its spicy-peppery flavors which are so highly appreciated by Veltliner lovers. But also Riesling and the wines of the Pinot family as well as Austria's most important red wine varieties mature to great wines on the Wagram.

The portraits can be perceived as both perplexing and beautifully broken, which is why I think Heidi Yardley's work is product of sheer talent. The oil paintings by the Australian artist have certain surrealist aspects, yet they each take on an unspoken method that isn't quite like anything I've previously encountered.
While there is definitely a strong sense of femininity that goes beyond the female muses, Heidi Yardley is able to convey something that's beautiful yet melancholy, which is where we find some of the most striking works of our time. Mostly done with oil on board, the paintings by Heidi Yardley are respected not only by private collectors, but also several art museums that continue to showcase her talent with consistency. Check out some of her most recent creations here and link over to her personal site to find out more.

User:Knucmo2/Why?:Allow Animal Testing?
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Why? This article is part of Uncyclopedia's Why? series. See more Why's? |
Animal testing: it's a divisive issue. We've always enjoyed lording it over the animal kingdom since the Stone Age but recently a lot of groups have drawn attention to the fact that it's cruel. Talk about the speed of progress! It is a pity that groups who often call for animals to be treated with equal respect, fail to treat their humans with a similarly. Should animal testing be upheld? I guess the best they can hope for is that they will one day be reborn as one of the animals they love so much...and if animal testing is banned, scientists will be jobless, and have to get used to studying mini-microsopic elements and weird maths that no one understands.
So this article looks at the reasons that advocates have for arguing in favour of animal testing, and the ill-considered prejudices reasons some might have for banning it.
edit For
Let's start with something self-evident: Any reasonable person knows that most of the things that Hitler did were evil. Now, Hitler banned animal testing, and therefore along with the advocacy of eugenics, vegetarianism, and the owning of dogs, not testing on animals is evil (and un-American). Hitler's alternative: Testing on humans? That's kind of...bad. Ok, so this writer is ever so slightly biased but come on, testing on humans? School exams are evil enough! (Though maybe it could be allowed that humans who score lower than a dog on a SAT test can become candidates for animal testing. Seeing as homo sapiens means thinking man)
Plus, the animals are subjected the same amount of cruelty that they would be as the pet of some buxom, brainless billionairesse drenched in diamonds and diamante. Have you seen the dogs they sport at social events? More gaunt than a poor African child (and with the same calorie intake) and yet furnished in the most expensive, ill-fitting grotesque 'outfits' imaginable? At least the animals in the cages get a 'Last Meal'. The rich dogs would be grateful for a 'Last Bullet/Noose/Lethal Injection', things that money just can't buy, unless you happen to know the right people.
edit Scientific considerations
It is medically progressive (not progressive in the sense of stealing money from the rich, nor progressive in the sense of English art school grads playing songs with more than 4 chords). I am not saying any more about this, because all my university lecturers used to say 'In the name of medical progress, we should support animal testing'. And then they'd never say anything more after that, so I always took it as self-evident as 2 plus 2 equals 4. (In the same way that a Soviet prisoner knows '2 + 2 = I've been tortured so much than any answer you give me or I give you is likely to make brilliant sense')
And remember: It's SCIENCE O.K? Science already knows, or will know everything about anything some day. So why stand in the way of SCIENCE? Science is the only judge of all human activity (in the future it will be science and order, not law and order...or maybe just SCIENCE Yes!) Only scientific claims are meaningful...(it does not matter in the least that there is no scientific experiment which proves this...no, not at all!)
edit Does God approve of it?
YES. God gave us dominion over the animals. This is one of the better arguments, and a good excuse to eat meat. You can't argue with a supreme being - its like trying to beat Garry Kasparov at chess, blindfolded and hands tied.
Moreover, we need to size down the amount of controversial, divisive issues. Look - there are just too many things people don't agree on - like affirmative action, gay rights, nuclear weapons. Those are enough to getting be on with - can't we just allow animal testing and tell those who oppose it that they are on the same factual basis as Darwinian anti-Christian, anti-human nazi eugenics theory. (It's just a theory!)
edit So, religious and scientific types approve of it?
Yes! And wouldn't it be just greeeat if they agreed on one thing. They could tear each others throats over Intelligent Design for all I care if they just were in concordance on one subject. And now, some considerations for those who are not swayed by religious or scientific conviction:
- I've never heard the animals whimper a word of complaint, ever.
- It makes other animals happy. Bear with me here. Not a lot of people know that animal testing benefits animals - a lot of vaccines tested on rats have helped save the lives of dogs (in the same way that serfs kept the nobility happy through backbreaking labour). Research on a few animals has saved a lot of others from extinction. The ends justify the means, right? Those high up in the food chain need someone to pick on below them or they just start eating each other. No more food chain, link, succession, conglomeration or concatensequenation: Nada. And then what do you have left? Cockroaches?. Yep. Are these what we really want to be the legacy of this planet?
- So long as there is a controversy about animal testing - more and more attractive women will be willing to get their kits off all for the sake of saying 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur'. Ok, so this argument won't appeal to everyone.
edit Against
edit Alternatives
Opponents of animal testing say its a fairly barbaric business, with alternatives that are not so cruel to animals. For instance, testing on humans instead. Humans are less likely to wee on your leg, purr cutely (which weakens any lab technicians' resolve) or scrap with the other test subjects. Note that this point is vulnerable to the 'Anything Hitler did Sucks' gambit.
Locking up animals, and then killing them afterwards? Like Death row. Or an unfair life sentence for innocent civilians. But I repeat myself.
Have you ever been to prison? Yes prison. The coldness of the unbreakable steel bars...the lack of control over one's life...the infinite regret that you should have used blanks...Well, that last bit might not be everyone's...er...experience of prison, but it sure isn't a nice place. Plus, what are the animals guilty of? Not smelling very nice? Well, we would not either if they were not so willing to have Miss Lopez's latest perfume splattered all over them like napalm during the Vietnam War. Not that I wear any female perfumes...er, next point!
edit Benefits
If the above alternative didn't convince you (and unless you are one of those pesky macaque monkeys who can read, it probably won't have done) this paragraph will look at the possible consequences of banning animal testing. Firstly,
You'd never have to worry about those pesky PETA's ever appearing on your screens again, being the cheap target for some low-grade satire, showing disgusting, doctored pictures of their relatives made to look like distressed animals, or bombing the laboratory nearest their base, irrespective of what they experiment on. 'Cos everyone knows that science is the continuation of dead while male, anthropocentric hegemonic discourse. Right?
Another benefit might be in the form of Hollywood movies. If they outlawed animal testing, then the practice of testing and breeding would become a seedy, glamorous world governed by violence and cartels. A great subject for a Hollywood blockbuster! We could get some really cool movies on the subject of animal smuggling, as the 'drug smuggling' angle seems to be wearing thin. Some suggestions for titles: Rain(deer)spotting, The Day of the Jackal, No Poultry for Old Men, The Finch Connection and Goosefellas.
And anyone with more than two occupied spaces in the cerebral cubicle knows that Cancer and AIDS will NEVER be cured. This is one of the reasons animal vivisection is justified. But look, everyone's got to have an enemy! Someone to fight against relentlessly, but ultimately someone who you will never beat. I have a squash partner that I can never beat and he always 'boasts' afterwards. British Olympians will never beat the Americans (or the Russians or Chinese - that's four eternal enemies!) Jesus will probably never beat Satan (Satan was armed with a large fork - Jesus unarmed; an unfair contest which does not take Christ's handicap into consideration.) And husbands will never stop beating their wives (Haha, only joking....or am I?)
edit Haven't we heard this before?
We need to size down controversial, divisive issues. Look - there are too many things people don't agree on - like affirmative action (a tautology, surely?) gay rights (aren't gays allowed to be wrong sometimes? They should not expect so much of themselves) nuclear weapons (an issue that is anything but clear). Those are enough to getting on with - can't we just ban animal testing and assign it to the same sort of factual esteem that the Completely Logical and Reasonable Creationist Story has? (You have six days to comply animal testers!)
edit Conclusion
Well, its up to you to make up your mind. I concede that this Why? Article has as much literary value as a libretto for an animals-only opera, but you wanted the facts, just the facts, man!
But let's give it a chance. The author will finish it later.

Great Performances Showcases The Paul Taylor Dance Company In Paris Friday, May 3 At 9 P.m. On PBS
"Brandenburgs" and "Beloved Renegade" set to the music of Bach and Poulenc respectively in performances which garnered raves in the City of Light
NEW YORK, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Paul Taylor is the last living member of the pantheon that created America's indigenous art of modern dance. At an age when most artists' best work is behind them, Taylor continues to win acclaim for the vibrancy, relevance and power of his recent dances as well as his classics.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110413/MM83011LOGO)
The world-renowned Paul Taylor Dance Company has set the global standard for contemporary dance excellence. Since the company's founding in 1954, Mr. Taylor has choreographed 136 dances, many of which have attained iconic status and have been celebrated throughout the world. Taylor has achieved countless accolades, including two of our nation's highest artistic distinctions: the Kennedy Center Honors and the National Medal of Arts.
THIRTEEN's Great Performances presents two of Paul Taylor's masterworks on Paul Taylor Dance Company in Paris on Friday, May 3 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). The dances were recorded last year at the Theatre National de Chaillot at the Festival Les Etes de la Danse 2012, where the company – a Paris favorite – dazzled audiences. The engagement in Paris marks The Company's 50th Anniversary of its first appearance there in 1962. Brandenburgs , first performed in 1988 to music from Bach's Brandenburg concertos #3 and #6; and his 2008 dance Beloved Renegade , set to music of Francis Poulenc, are the featured pieces. Brandenburgs is one of Taylor's magnificent collection of works set to music by a master of the baroque. The dance's exuberance matches the ferocious energy of Bach's spirited concertos. Mary Clarke of the Manchester [UK] Guardian wrote, "Beauty is the only word for Brandenburgs … [which] celebrates the good things in life. Such a radiant, seamless flow of invention that the choreography seems an entirely natural way of moving to this music." Beloved Renegade is set to Francis Poulenc's "Gloria." The dance was inspired by the life and work of 19th Century American writer Walt Whitman, who revered the body and soul as one and who famously loved all with equal ardor. It depicts the experiences of an artist described in a line from Whitman's "Leaves of Grass": "I am the poet of the body and I am the poet of the soul." Scenes from Whitman's life include watching youngsters at play, and tending to the afflicted just as the poet nursed wounded soldiers during the Civil War. After his own mortality is foretold, the poet bids poignant farewell to those who love him. He is then embraced by a benevolent feminine spirit with "the sure-enwinding arms of cool-enfolding death."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

If you're watching you weight, every calorie counts, so I decided to add my favorite way of making Tilapia to the recipe calculator so I could see just how many calories I'm adding per Fillet. (This recipe makes enough for one average sized fillet.) The best part of this recipe is every ingredient is probably something you already have in your house.

Cool, and very creative. thanks.
Ive pitched your sound and made it sound like an underwater/Legend Of Zelda Zora theme.
im pleased t hear these comments. Thanks a lot. But, now I'm an adult and my voice has changed.
marvellous !
it's creepy but beutifull, thanks, could you please make more of these singing sound things, it's just what i needed for my video

SpaceShipTwo Goes Supersonic Over the Mojave In 2nd Test Flight 58

I don't think you've thought this through...
The purpose of SpaceShipTwo is to reach suborbital flight not to obtain escape velocity.
The purpose of the Space Shuttle was to reach low Earth orbit not to obtain escape velocity.
We did not loose Challenger or Columbia in a "dangerous, expensive and quite frankly stupid" endeavor to achieve escape velocity.
Even with your plan of extracting resources from the moon you still have to design and build your payloads on earth and that means traversing the atmosphere at some point during the mission. At least until we have more permanent manned facilities off earth that can perform their own manufacturing and fabrication.
That said... going to the moon makes lots of sense. We're funding billions of dollars sending probes to the Jovian moons and Mars why? Looking for life. That's a big gamble who's only reward right now is going to be to answer the philosophical question of whether or not man is alone in the universe. Yeah... it might pay off but then again it might not. For all we know we are sending probes out with all the wrong instruments for finding that life because we're assuming that life requires water and that it will be carbon based. That's a big assumption based only on limited data. We only know of one world where carbon based life exists and uses water as a solvent. Could be that most life in the universe is based on totally different molecular structures.
We've got a whole other world right here on our back porch. Why isn't the moon already crawling with rovers? Why aren't we prospecting it's surface for minerals and materials that humanity can use? Why aren't we exploring it's surface for caves that we can seal off and flood with a breathable atmosphere for building a permanent human settlement? If we can get full-on manufacturing and construction facilities operating on the moon we can build spacecraft that can visit the rest of the solar system using much less v then it does to send the same spacecraft from the surface of the Earth. From Earth you have to account for higher gravity and aerodynamics. From the moon... well heck, even the tiny little Apollo lunar module was capable of launching from the surface and achieving lunar orbit.
