4.5 HAD ME HOOKED HONESTBAZ | 14/09/2012 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299) Brilliant! A book of three main characters that are fantasticly presented via their own view point as well as that of the other 2. This is most interestingly done,though it may've come across as a bit odd in the opinion of some reviewers. The author doesn't claim to know what really went through the minds of the home helps in this era,as she states at the end of the book,but she does have a brilliant way with words and brings these characters to life. There are many other characters seen through the main character's eyes that will have you smiling and feeling contempt,with moments that will be hard to forget. The way it's written is as spoken,so those characters with strong accents might test some readers for a while,but i soon grew to love it.It seems few people didn't like this book,i'm not surprised as it's unique and i was always looking forward to getting back to it. I'll remember THE HELP for some time.
4.5 Fantastic book,simply brilliant! kitkatty | 13/08/2012 | See all kitkatty's reviews (2) Such a beautiful book,well written and very thought provoking. A couple of friends recommended this book and I am so glad I read it. One of my favourite books to date. This story stayed in my mind long after I had finished it.
4.5 One of the best books I've ever read KAV2007 | 06/08/2012 | See all KAV2007's reviews (113) This is such an amazing book. Well written, it delves into the lives of all involved, giving heartfelt insights into a subject that has been tackled in such a way it makes you question the circumstances of its nature. I found it truly unbelievable that people could be treated in such a cruel way just because of their colour of their skin. It's a real eye opener. Thought provoking books are the best and this is a real page turner that despite its theme is so uplifting.
4.5 Fabulous kdbookreader | 10/07/2012 | See all kdbookreader's reviews (1) I loved this book, draws you in right from the begining. Once I started reading I could not put it down and I finished it in 2 days!
4.5 10/10 Georgi25 | 19/06/2012 | See all Georgi25's reviews (10) Very sad book to read but it was brilliant. I'm glad times have changed!!!
4.5 loved it buttercorn | 12/02/2012 | See all buttercorn's reviews (2) Got this book for christmas, finally got the chance to read it on a 10 hour flight, couldnt put it down, so gripping. Already have freinds wanting to borrow the book. Cant wait to see the movie now.
4.5 so good i didnt want to finish it nannysymes | 03/01/2012 | See all nannysymes's reviews (1) one of the best books i have read ,i didnt want it to finish .this is the first time i have written a review so it may not be great but had to join the others and say what a great book this is, and the film is just as good.I think it helps reading the book first as the southern accent takes a while to understand.It is funny, sad ,and shocking
4.5 Read it, read it, read it! pipbee | 28/10/2011 | See all pipbee's reviews (7) Kathryn Stockett's first book, published in America in 2009, has now been published in 35 countries and in 3 different languages. By August of 2011 it had sold over 5 million copies. Set in 1960s Jackson, Mississippi, when segregation was still very much the norm, it tells of the relationships between the elite white ladies and their black house maids, 'the help' of the title. One reviewer has likened it's impact to that of 'To Kill A Mockingbird', and I think that will prove to be a fair comparisson. Very readable, this book made my laugh, it made me cry, it made me uneasy, and it made me angry. I seized every opportunity to read it and when it came to the final chapters, I could not put it down until I'd finished it. This book is destined to become a classic of American literature. Now also made into a film, I strongly recommend it.
4.5 amazing! katieonplaydotcom | 08/09/2011 | See all katieonplaydotcom's reviews (16) This is one of the best books i have ever read it was funny,sad and gripping most of all enlightening.cant wait for the film.buy this book you wont regret it
4.5 Brilliant Sandymoo | 16/08/2011 | See all Sandymoo's reviews (1) This book was brilliant. One of the best books I have read in a long while. Once I finished it I said this book has to be made into a film and win Oscars. The film is being realised in the UK in October I believe. I will be going to see it. Dont hesitate to buy this book - you wont regret it.

We purchased a remnant of Desert Dream. It's 40x26 to be cut to 36x24. They will template, cut/polish the sink hole. Round Over Edge (no extra charge) and a 4" backsplash (I know, I don't like them either but DH isn't keen on glass). Installed for $563. She said Desert Dream is a high end rock but that all their remnants are $45. Whole slabs sell for $82 sq foot. If DH templates, we can save $125. He can do it. He's templated our kitchen sink, the peninsula and my granite counter top in my bathroom. Thanks |

I paid about $700 for a similar thing, so it looks fine to me - included templating, fabrication and installation, one sink cutout, 4" backsplash. |

You'd better jump on that before he comes to his senses. |
What other kinds of countertops could you get for $560 installed ??? |

Springtime in Vegas!
March 18, 2014 by Cynthia Baum · Leave a Comment
Whether you're looking for a relaxing day at the spa, a fun family vacation or some exciting nightlife, Vegas is the place for you!

Why You Should Visit Dauphin Island, Alabama
March 13, 2014 by Dana Ticknor · Leave a Comment
We recently took a day trip down to Dauphin Island, Alabama. Located less than an hour from Mobile, and on the southwest edge of Mobile Bay, it is a 15 mile long barrier island that often goes undiscovered by I-10 travelers. We were on a tight schedule with only a few days to spare until we needed to be in Orlando, and we have a big rig (40-foot toy hauler) and weren't sure what the campgrounds down there would be like, so we left our fiver in Mobile while we drove down for the day. Once we got there, we were wishing like crazy that we had more time and would have brought our RV down. (There are several campgrounds on Dauphin Island, so be sure to go to the Good Sam Campground Directory to check them out and see which one would best suit your needs/wants). Dauphin Island was charming. It has a distinct small-town feel, where kids are still free to ride their bikes around the neighborhood after school, where you can walk to the local snack shop for an afternoon treat, where the...

Alabama Gulf Coast Named Top Tourism Attraction
March 4, 2014 by Rex Vogel · 2 Comments
Alabama's Gulf beaches and Gulf State Park are the largest tourism attractions in the state, overwhelmingly so, according to the new attendance figures released last week by the Alabama Tourism Department. Sparkling turquoise Gulf waters and stunningly white sand await the RVer on the Alabama Gulf Coast. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved The state's largest stand-alone festival events, located about 20 miles apart, are also located in the Gulf Coast region. The Fairhope Arts and Crafts Festival (March 14-16, in 2014) and National Shrimp Festival (October 9-12, in 2014) in Gulf Shores come in at the top two spots among event promotions staged over a single weekend. The relatively new Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival (June 13-14, in 2014), which takes place in between the other two in Foley, is also rising up the state's annual top 10 festival list. According to the 2013 annual report, Mobile's three-week long Mardi Gras celebration draws the largest attendance... [Read more...]
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, home of the USS Kidd…
February 24, 2014 by Dana Ticknor · 2 Comments
While we were checking out Louisiana, we wanted to stop in Baton Rouge to see what they had to offer for fun and interesting stops. While we didn't have much time to explore, we did find a couple of fun stops that fit into our schedule and interests. Our first stop was at the Bluebonnet Swamp, which is a county park located in the eastern part of the city of Baton Rouge. This 103-acre park is an ideal location to get out and explore the swamp, and it's an exceptional stop if you are a "bird nerd." Located just a short walk from the parking lot is a 9,500-square-foot exhibit building that houses a small gift shop and numerous animal habitats including many snakes and other reptiles. Outside are several walking trails that lead along the swamp edge and through woods; the walks vary in length from 1/3 of a mile to 1 and 1/2 miles long. Bluebonnet is a great place to spend an hour or so learning about and exploring, Louisiana swamp habitats. It's also... [Read more...]
Destination Gems in Lafayette, Louisiana
February 10, 2014 by Dana Ticknor · Leave a Comment
We recently spent a few days exploring Lafayette, Louisiana. We parked for four nights at Poche's, just east of town. While this was not our first stop-over in Lafayette, it was our first time to find destinations to explore! These are some of our favorite discoveries: Vermilionville Living History Park. Much like Williamsburg, with its period costumed re-enactors, Vermilionville is living history Cajun style! This 32-acre, fully handicap-accessible park features numerous homes that are restored, as well as a church, schoolhouse (where we were treated to an upbeat, fun accordion concert), trapper's cabin and blacksmith forge. The park has a lovely gift shop featuring artisan creations. There is also a great cafe' onsite that serves Cajun style meals. There is the informative Watershed Exhibit which features the surrounding flora and fauna, and a cooking school, where the staff gives cajun cooking lessons (check the schedule online).

Czeching Out La Grange
January 29, 2014 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
We headed to the Central Texas town of La Grande to "Czech" out what might just be the "Best Little Day Trip in Texas." Texas Quilt Museum © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved The events of La Grange's famous Chicken Ranch inspired the stage play, movie, and the lyrics of a popular song, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Then there's the ZZ Top song that still fuels Texas folklore. The brothel is no longer around—it was officially closed in 1973 after operating for more than 130 years. The building was sold and hauled to Dallas where, for awhile, it served as a restaurant that served—what else? Chicken. Later, the building burned to the ground. All that's left these days is the legend and some fading memories. However, there's still plenty to do in this town. For starters, we Czeched out the Texas Czech Heritage and Cultural Center. This museum gave us a feel for the culture and early days of Fayette County when thousands of Czech immigrants populated the area. The... [Read more...]
Taking it easy in Monroe, Louisiana…
January 28, 2014 by Dana Ticknor · Leave a Comment
We recently spent two weeks visiting Louisiana. We were pleasantly surprised by how much there was to do there. We spent a few days in Shreveport, where we stayed in a Louisiana state park, went bowling, visited a local nature center and a great science museum, and we found a yummy Cajun restaurant and even got to hold a gator! Next we took I-20 over to Monroe, where we found a few more fabulous stops! Monroe is home to the the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum. This free museum covers military history from WWI through Vietnam and specializes in covering aviation-related service members. The museum features displays on individual service members, including their story and memorabilia from their lives. The museum is small, but there is so much history packed into it! When we visited, there were two gentlemen there who acted as guides. They were very knowledgeable and had a passion for their topic! We spent about an hour and a half there but didn't even visit all the exhibits... [Read more...]
If You Only Do One Thing in Tucson…

The connection between the Royal Family and St George's Chapel is a strong one. Members of the Royal Family have been baptised, married and buried in the Chapel.
The Queen is closely involved with the life of the College, attends Mattins at the Chapel on Easter Day and attends an annual service of thanksgiving on Garter Day. There are many other times when the Queen and the Royal Family come to St George's. In 2011, apart from Easter Day and Garter Day, the Queen attended a service marking the 90th birthday of The Duke of Edinburgh on the feast of Pentecost and a memorial service for the 11th Duke of Grafton.

The best EDM in Denver this weekend
Yonathan Baraki
SAT | MARC HOULE at NORAD | 11/30/13
Marc Houle has attracted attention from some of techno's finest players, from Richie Hawtin to Miss Kittin to Troy Pierce. Houle's studio tracks get snatched up and spun by everyone who's anyone in dance music, spanning genres and lighting up clubs and underground warehouses alike. But his live sets represent a whole new level of amazing: He uses those synthesizers for a truly live experience -- not just mixing one track into another, but tailoring each and every soundscape to the venue and audience at hand. See what he does for you this Saturday, November 30, at NORAD, with Josh Manke and Drew Bull.

It was only a matter of time before someone brought Dirty South beats into the world of EDM, and Flosstradamus has certainly set the precedent for what a good trap show is supposed to be like. It's like Flosstradamus slipped drum and bass tracks in a potent cup of lean. Trap music has been around for awhile, but in this new era acts like Flosstradamus are bringing chopped beats and bangin' kicks to the dance floor.

Plan reportedly adds stronger taxpayer protections.
news is reporting that congressional leaders have come
to an agreement on a revised government bailout plan for the financial sector.
Few details were immediately available about the plan,
however key members of Congress say that it limits the pay packages for
executives of companies who benefit from the bailout and protects taxpayers by requiring the Treasury to be reimbursed.
Lawmakers are now planning a meeting with the Treasury Department
to present the plan, and more details should become available after that.
The new plan follows a Bush administration plan that called
for up to $700 billion to be used by the government to buy bad mortgages.
Members of both parties had expressed concern over the bill,
pushing for more time to find an alternative and seeking a way to reduce the
burden on taxpayers.

History… the story of humankind
EMU is a Christian liberal arts college dedicated to Mennonite values of peacebuilding and service. We study history from a global viewpoint, one that highlights our need for one another. Study history with us, and we'll analyze the human experience through a peace and justice lens.
Vincent Harding on campus
In February 2014, the history department was honored to host Vincent Harding, friend and confidant of Martin Luther King, Jr., on campus for several presentations. Listen to a podcast, read about his message to the EMU community (as a former Mennonite pastor himself).
Watch a video of a chapel presentation on EMU and integration by Dr. Mark Sawin as we prepared for the visit to campus by Dr. Harding.
A unique focus on faith in action
EMU history grads treasure our program's social history approach. We focus on groups like women, religious minorities and other individuals often overlooked in conventional history classes. Our history students are exposed to various viewpoints and explore the many ways God works in history through people — the meek and the mighty, the famous and the little-known, major world powers and developing nations.
Our students develop a Christian perspective on evolving economic and political systems and cultural and religious issues. We encourage them to think of the moral and ethical implications of particular ideas and events from the past.
History in our backyard
Our campus is only two hours from both Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, and Richmond, the Confederate capital. We're also close to many other historic sites in history-rich Virginia, including the unique Museum of American Frontier Culture in nearby Staunton, many Civil War battlefields, and the National Park Service's historic Sklyine Drive.

Best Fried Chicken Denver 2014 - Lucky Pie Pizza & Taphouse
1610 16th St.
Denver, CO 80202
There are some who insist that fried chicken is best when eaten out of a bucket while picnicking in the park. But our bucket list takes another approach: We park our butts at Lucky Pie, order a beer from the wicked-good tap selection, and thank the poultry gods for blessing us with such a soul-satisfying bird. True, Lucky Pie is best known for its pizzas — and they're excellent — but the fried chicken is clucking awesome. Chef Joe Troupe dry-rubs the birds with garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper and a smidge of sugar, submerges their body parts in buttermilk and then drags the flesh through seasoned flour before plunging it into the fryer. The payoff is incredible fried chicken, the tender meat cloaked in a bronzed crust that adheres flawlessly to the flesh, leaving nothing on the plate — and everything in your mouth.

As Capitol Hill deweirds, LGBTQ hate crime takes off
Doug Hamilton wasn't alone in a dark alley when he was attacked on Capitol Hill last year.
Last July, he was walking with two female friends when a stranger, who had repeatedly asked the trio intrusive questions about their sexual orientations, punched him in the chest and underneath the chin.
When Hamilton, a 52-year-old gay man, was knocked to the ground at the corner of Minor and Pike, sustaining a concussion, it was still light outside.
The next day, while waiting for a light to change, he started having a seizure. He was standing just across the street from the Capitol Hill apartment building he's called home for the past 13 years.
Hamilton didn't speak out about the experience at the time, even though he was involved with LGBTQ advocacy group Equal Rights Washington. He didn't want other people or the press to know that he was a hate-crime victim.
"It was too personal," he says.
It turns out he's not alone. There is strong anecdotal evidence that anti-LGBTQ violence is rising in Capitol Hill, Seattle's historically gay neighborhood.
Aleksa Manila, a local drag queen and counselor, was at Neighbours Nightclub last New Year's Eve when she heard a fire alarm go off. She and her boyfriend were among the last to leave that night, the dance floor wet from sprinklers. She assumed the alarm was accidental, caused by someone's tipsiness.
It wasn't until her phone was flooded with media phone calls the next day that she realized the bizarre end to the evening's jubilations was an attempted arson; a gallon tank of gas deliberately spilled on a carpeted staircase that jeopardized the lives of the more than 700 people celebrating in Capitol Hill's historic gay nightclub.
In June, Dwone Anderson-Young and Ahmed Said, two young gay men, joined a growing list of LGBTQ victims when the pair were shot and killed in the Central District. They had spent the night dancing at RPlace, another popular Capitol Hill gay bar where they were regulars.
RPlace security guard Martine Saphiloff, a mother of four kids, remembers catching the boys trying to sneak in with fake IDs. "This still ain't you," she would scold, handing a fake back.
But when the two finally came of age, they never caused problems. "They were just here to dance," Saphiloff said. "For them to end the way they ended; it was traumatic."
Then there are the incidents that don't make headlines. Members of the LGBTQ community, for example, say verbal harassment on the streets and in Capitol Hill bars has gotten worse too in the last year.
"I used to hear dyke and fag once every couple of months [in bars] — now I hear it nightly," says Neighbours spokesperson, Shaun Knittel.
Local drag queen Jessica Paradisco says that, in the last year, it's become common for his LGBTQ friends to be verbally harassed through car windows while walking on the Hill at night — even windows that belong to cab drivers. Paradisco says that cabbies have hit on, tried to unfasten their pants or masturbated while driving he and his friends home.
These days, he walks home on well-lit streets like Broadway — usually with other people — avoiding places that can be dangerous after dark, like Cal Anderson Park.
Across Seattle, the latest FBI data shows a strong increase in LGBTQ hate-crimes: Between 2011 and 2012, the number reported jumped from 6 to 19.
A recent Seattle Times piece used this data to claim that Seattle had the third-highest rate of anti-LGBTQ hate crimes among large U.S. cities in 2012 — even though the FBI actually discourages using their data alone to derive rankings and conclusions about national trends.

Capital Hill hasn't been the "gay ghetto" for some decades now. It's a defacto "gay neighborhood" because the preponderence of gay bars in the City are located there.
Most gays and lesbians moved off the Hill decades ago. We're no longer one segment in one location. We're in West Seattle, we're on Beacon Hill, etc. We "gentrified" the Hill in the 80s and now we're bringing our efforts to other neighborhoods.
And if I've got an axe to grind and very little brain to grind it with, I go to Capital Hill to grind that axe. Lovely.
The Hill is now a semi-perpetual youth centric culture (Summer Block Party, Linda's and her followers, the Stranger, etc). It's also slimed by a heavy concentration of drug addicts. (I was just there yesterday and climbed over the bodies of two very very strung out chowder heads as I negotiated the closed sidewalks on Broadway.) But it ain't a gay neighborhood.
On the other hand, if you're from Hayden Lake or an anti-gay church/mosque, that's where you'd go on a Saturday night to take out your aggressions because that's where the bars are.
Posted Wed, Aug 27, 3:20 p.m.
Of course the two worst anti-gay crimes this last 6 months were carried out by Moslems: Musab Mohamed Masmari and Ali Muhammad Brown. Luckily they're not Christians, because Lords knows, Seattle would throw 'diversity' out the window and throw a collective fit if it was white Christians.

Judge is Bradley Manning's biggest enemy!
Submitted by UndeclaredWars on Sat, 07/20/2013 - 11:56At a hearing Thursday, military judge Col. Denise Lind refused to toss out 'aiding the enemy' and other weakly substantiated charges against Bradley Manning. Alexa O'Brien on her previous rulings and her history of deference to the prosecution.

Manning's Biggest Enemy Is Public Apathy ...
... Over police state apologists manning every post of authority.
A Few Good Men supplanted by A Few Good Sycophants.
"But after Thursday's rulings, an expert witness for the defense, Col. Morris Davis, the former chief prosecutor of the Guantánamo Bay Military Commissions who testified that the five Gitmo detainee assessments Manning accessed were not a sensitive national-security matter, said, "I had hoped that Judge Lind was going to reaffirm my faith in the independence and integrity of the military justice system that I respected when I was in uniform, but she didn't."

It's always like that in military courts
Military court judges have never been independent or neutral, never felt it was their duty to maintain the integrity of the forum, but instead act like it's their duty to aid the prosecution and secure a conviction.

They're "rail roading" this fine, patriotic young man! Outrageous!!
It's time to shit or get off the pot!
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves." William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783

Well, he's not patriotic
Agreed they're railroading--when is that not the case?
But regarding Manning, it's already been revealed in testimony that Manning made unpatriotic outbursts, not just anti-government, but anti-American. In fact, he was an emotional wrecking ball who screwed things up for his fellow soldiers. His former master sergeant was reduced in rate to sergeant first class for not dealing with Manning's bad behavior back in the states prior to the leaks (the sergeant's own problem for neglecting the issue, but as a leading petty officer, I wouldn't want to deal with self-absorbed crybabies, either).
The more evidence that comes out in the trial, the more I slide from being a Manning "supporter" to being merely a Manning "sympathizer." Though things could go the other way as the defense starts presenting evidence.

Stan Hyman, PhD, LCSW
I am a licensed psychotherapist, Clinical Sexologist and life coach practicing in Aventura, Florida. I originally practiced in New York City.
I work with couples (including business partners) helping them to change ineffective patterns of behavior, improve communication and create solutions. This often means learning how to create new patterns that bring about change, better understanding and respect between partners.
I also work with individuals (both male and female) including professionals, entrepreneurs, students and athletes helping them to enhance their performance. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, substance abuse and stress related problems. I work quickly to reduce distress or panic.
My style is focused and collaborative, helping clients balance their high stress lives and high performance expectations with the needs of family, friends and self.
I started my career as a teacher and spent a number of years working with kids of all ages. From teaching I entered the corporate world, working with large companies and learning their methods of operation. I then became an entrepreneur and began building my own businesses. I created and grew three companies over a 20-year period and learned firsthand what it takes to deal with the enormous stress of maintaining high performance, good leadership and being your own boss.
After several years of self-exploration in psychotherapy, I realized how my own experiences could guide me in helping others. I became a psychotherapist and life coach while continuing my interest in the business community.
I was trained at Yeshiva University Graduate School in New York City, and did my internship at the Greenwich Institute for psychodynamic psychotherapy located in Greenwich Village in New York City and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, located in Washington Heights.
My professional training, associations memberships and credentials include:
- Post graduate institute training in individual and marital therapy at the Institute for Marriage and Family Therapy (Jewish Board of Family and Children Services in New York City)
- Post Graduate training in couple therapy with The Couples Institute, Menlo Park, California.
- Certification in hypnosis (member of FSCH, Florida Society of Clinical Hypnosis)
- Level two training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Professional member of ADAA (Anxiety Disorders Association of America)
- Professional member of NASW
- Board Certification in Clinical Sexology (Diplomate of the American Board of Sexology)
- Years of training and working with substance abusers (including work as a family therapist and trainer at the Broward Addictions Recovery Centers)
- SAP (Substance Abuse Professional)
- CSW (Qualified Clinical Supervisor)
- Training in employee assistance work for many large companies; and other types of workshops and trainings related to my profession.
In addition to my psychotherapy and coaching practice I offer seminars and workshops on stress management, relationship building, and improving communication skills for couples and business partners.
Michele Cohen, Psy.D.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice in Aventura since 1990. Originally from New York City, I was awarded my doctoral degree from Yeshiva University, Ferkauf School of Psychology, in 1987.
I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders and work with children, individuals and couples. I enjoy working with and helping people who are going through difficult transitions. I work with issues such as: divorce, child rearing, relationship adjustments and loss.
Sometimes individuals will find themselves repeatedly making the same mistakes. I help people explore their motivations and the meaning of their behaviors so that they can understand what drives them and begin to make changes.

Profession concerned with the teeth and mouth. It includes repair or removal of decayed teeth, straightening and adjustment of teeth for proper occlusion, and design, manufacture, and fitting of false teeth and other prosthetic devices. X-rays are used to show conditions not visible on examination. Using local anesthesia, caries in teeth are drilled to remove diseased areas and filled with various materials. Decay that reaches a tooth's root risks infection of the nerve and requires root-canal surgery. Teeth that must be extracted are replaced by crowns for single teeth and full or partial dentures or implants for more. Dentists also educate patients on oral hygiene, examine and clean teeth, and apply fluoride compounds for decay resistance.

Echinocactus Grusonii - Golden Barrel Cactus - 20 Seeds - Cactus / Cacti / Succulent - Exotic
Echinocactus is a genus of cacti in the subfamily Cactoideae. The generic name derives from the Ancient Greek echinos, meaning "spiny," and cactus. It and Ferocactus are the two genera of barrel cactus. Members of the genus usually have large spines and small flowers. They thrive on plenty of sun. Perhaps the best known species is the Golden Barrel Cactus (Also available from Seeds for Africa) from Mexico, an easy-to-grow and widely cultivated plant.
Echinocactus grusonii is a well known species of cactus native to central Mexico from San Luis Potosi to Hidalgo. Described by Heinrich Hildmann in 1891, it is popularly known as the Golden Barrel Cactus, Golden Ball or, amusingly, Mother-in-Law's Cushion. The sharp spines are long, straight or slightly curved, and various shades of yellow or, occasionally, white. Small yellow flowers appear in summer around the crown of the plant.

That is true. However, you have still not specified the exact limits. What moral rules does cloning break?Originally Posted by coolpuprocks
These problems can be remedied by further research. For example, organ transplants were also very expensive and had a low success rate initially.Originally Posted by coolpuprocks
Biology and Medical science.Originally Posted by coolpuprocks
Wrong. Cloning organs is not the same thing as cloning an entire animal.Originally Posted by coolpuprocks
I also see that you've taken this from here:
The same article aslo has this to say:
"Scientists hope that one day therapeutic cloning can be used to generate tissues and organs for transplants."
What you posted talked about reproductive cloning. Either you have a problem with reading comprehension, or you're dishonest. Either way, you fail.
Why then would you mention that research is expensive?Originally Posted by Scientists hope that one day therapeutic cloning can be used to generate tissues and organs for transplants.
And again you completely miss the point. Listen up: population size and population growth is irrelevant. In the US you pay more money per person than they do in Sweden. This means that socialized healthcare would be cheaper regardless of population growth.Originally Posted by coolpuprocks
That is true for Finland and Sweden as well. Yet, somehow we manage to have socialized healthcare. Sorry, your attempt at doomsaying fails.Originally Posted by coolpuprocks
The national debt is an argument for greater fiscal responsibility, not private healthcare. As for not having money, well how about you start taxing the rich and big business a bit more? You'll have to do so sooner or later anyway to pay back the national debt.Originally Posted by coolpuprocks

As Yui said, "it is more about experience than education," which seems to be holding true.

Happy with our newly acquired treasures and family get togethers, we're moving on to Kansas City to visit with two grandsons, Austin & Cory.

"I don't think she was thinking much," van Dyk told Billboard. "The only thing she was probably thinking was, 'I need to connect with a young crowd,' and she made the biggest mistake of her career."
"Madonna was so stupid to actually call out drug abuse in front of a crowd of 18-year-olds," he continued. "This is not what our music is about. It's really counterproductive."
Madonna, for the record, has said her comment "Has anyone seen Molly?" was not to promote drug use, but her friend Cedric Gervais' film and song "Have You Seen Molly?"
"I don't support drug use and I never have," tweeted the singer in her mea culpa to deadmau5. (Nevermind the fact that Gervais' song is clearly winking to drugs in its title, and that Madge herself includes the lyrics "Pulse through my body, igniting my mind / It's like MDMA / and that's okay," in her MDNA song "I'm Addicted".)
Probably fueling his anger against Madonna is that van Dyk appears to have a vendetta against pop stars who have appropriated the EDM genre and infused it into the Top 40.
"I think we have a problem with calling it a new movement or a breakthrough in America," he said. "We had massive festivals in the mid-'90s; I remember playing big shows, like Electric Daisy in L.A. in 2008, which drew something like 65,000 people. This was before the pop artists started to sound danceable, so in a way it's not really something that needed a breakthrough. I think what people are referring to these days is a popped-down version of what our music actually is. I hope those pop stars all go back where they came from and do their normal pop music again."
What do you think of Paul van Dyk's criticisms regarding Madonna's molly shout-out? Should he just accept the explanation she gave to deadmau5? How many other DJs are going to come out of the woodwork to slam Madonna's throwaway comment? Sound off below.

I like them a lot! They provide a nice surprise in the garden. How did you carve/make them? Interesting to know about the "pine cone cactus" too. Cactus are amazing. My mom, here in NH, has had some old dried up ones for years on her unheated closed in porch, and I noticed this week that they are trying to grow. I think I may have to rescue them. Kathy |

Cool idea for the self portraits. How did you carve on the rocks? I'm assuming a dremel tool? Those pinecone cacti are pretty cool too. When you mentioned a non-X-rated name, I looked at them again and laughed because I can imagine some of the X-rated ones. he-he |

I use a carbide hammer drill bit in hammer drill for holes and a pistol type air chisel for carving. I used a dremel tool once to carve a porpoise on a black granite rock for a friend. I was at it for days and went thru dozens of carbide gringing disks. Swore I'd never do that again. |

"London black-cab drivers are planning to cause gridlock in the city to protest against car service Uber. The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association complains that Uber's drivers are using a smartphone app to calculate fares despite it being illegal for private vehicles to be fitted with taximeters. Transport for London has declined to intervene, because it disagrees that there has been a breach of the law. LTDA now plans to force the issue by holding the action in early June. 'Transport for London not enforcing the Private Hire Vehicles Act is dangerous for Londoners,' Steve McNamara, LTDA's general secretary, told the BBC. 'I anticipate that the demonstration against TfL's handling of Uber will attract many many thousands of cabs and cause severe chaos, congestion and confusion across the metropolis.'"
samzenpus (5) writes "You may not be Satoshi Nakamoto, but thanks to Virginia-based eco-products company Eruditium, you can now smell like him, her, or them. The company claims Bitcologne is "made for peer-to-peer interaction" adding, "It's an aromatic blend of spicy, floral, oak and citrus notes your 'partner' may find it hard to resist initiating a more private transaction.'" A bottle costs about $26 or 0.0608 Bitcoin."
perryizgr8 (1370173) writes "Biologists have managed to create a bacteria with DNA made of the usual A-T, C-G plus an artificial third base pair, thus encoding more data in DNA. From the article: 'The scientists behind the work at the Scripps Research Institute have already formed a company to try to use the technique to develop new antibiotics, vaccines and other products, though a lot more work needs to be done before this is practical. The work also gives some support to the concept that life can exist elsewhere in the universe using genetics different from those on Earth. "This is the first time that you have had a living cell manage an alien genetic alphabet," said Steven A. Benner, a researcher in the field at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Fla., who was not involved in the new work.'"
astroengine (1577233) writes "The people of planet Earth would be wise to raise their cosmic consciousness prior to contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, a new study shows. 'The scientific community now accepts to some degree that this contact may occur in the next 50 to 100 years,' said Gabriel De la Torre, a clinical neuropsychologist and human factors specialist at the University of Cádiz in Spain. 'Consequently, we are becoming more concerned about this possibility and its aftermath Certainly the topic of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations raises a number of questions that are not easy to answer. We estimate that this type of event will have not only a social effect, but also on both consciousness and biology as well.' Although we may not have the necessary social skill set to deal with an encounter of the third kind, scientists or astronauts might make the best candidates for the first alien conversation."
An anonymous reader writes "A study published in March found that that the reason why the U.S. government has sub-par IT programs is because leading commercial IT companies established in the U.S. aren't involved in government contracting. Either the government holds closed bidding, essentially stifling competition to its own disadvantage, or prospective companies are put off by the cost-prohibitive regulations associated with government acquisition given the low returns (less than 10% as compared to 20% or more in the commercial world). The dysfunction that results has been documented by the Government Accountability Office: of 15 Department of Defense IT projects studied, 11 had cost increases (one of which was by 2,333%), 13 had schedule slippages (one of which was by six years), and only three met system performance goals. If the U.S. wants to lead other governments in technical capabilities by tapping into the technology being developed within its own borders, then some say that instead of exemptions and workarounds such as was applied with Healthcare.gov, a complete rebuild of the whole acquisition program would need to be implemented."
Lasrick (2629253) writes "The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots is a year old; the same month is was founded, the UN's special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions called for a moratorium on the development and deployment of autonomous lethal weapons while a special commission considered the issue. The campaign is succeeding at bringing attention to the issue, but it's possible that it's too late, and if governments don't come to a common understanding of what the problems and solutions are, the movement is doomed. As this article points out, one of the most contentious issues is the question of what constitutes an autonomous weapons system: 'Setting the threshold of autonomy is going to involve significant debate, because machine decision-making exists on a continuum.' Another, equally important issue of course is whether a ban is realistic."
The New York Times is one of many outlets reporting that Snapchat has agreed to settle with the FTC about the gap between promises made about the company's "disappearing" communications system and reality. "The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday said Snapchat had agreed to settle charges that the company was deceiving users about the ephemeral nature of the photos and video messages sent through its service. The messages were significantly less private than the company had said, the commission said. In marketing the service, Snapchat has said that its messages "disappear forever." But in its complaint, the commission said the messages, often called snaps, can be saved in several ways. The commission said that users can save a message by using a third-party app, for example, or employ simple workarounds that allow users to take a screenshot of messages without detection." Besides the monetary side of the settlement (details of which are promised soon on the FTC's site), the company has agreed to operate for the next 20 years with special supervision of a new privacy program; it seems a little optimistic as a timeframe for any social-media related business. Here are the FTC's charges (PDF).
An anonymous reader writes "The U.S. Patent Office granted Amazon a patent in March that basically describes taking a picture with a white background. Amazon claims that their method is unique to current photography methods because they can achieve the effect of a true white background without retouching the photo or using any sort of post-processing technique. Some professional photographers disagree, claiming that plenty of prior art exists embodying Amazon's described method and furthermore that this pre-existing method is what the photography industry calls 'shooting against a seamless white backdrop.'"
Nerval's Lobster (2598977) writes "Epic Games is rebooting Unreal Tournament, but not in a typical way. A small team of veteran developers will begin work on the next edition of the popular, multi-player shooter, in collaboration with pretty much anyone who wants to participate. "From the very first line of code, the very first art created and design decision made, development will happen in the open, as a collaboration between Epic, UT fans and UE4 developers. We'll be using forums for discussion, and Twitch streams for regular updates," reads a note on the company's blog. All code and content will appear on GitHub, and development will focus on Mac, Linux, and Windows. What's the catch? According to Epic, it'll take months to forge a playable game. "When the game is playable, it will be free. Not free to play, just free," the blog adds. "We'll eventually create a marketplace where developers, modders, artists and gamers can give away, buy and sell mods and content. Earnings from the marketplace will be split between the mod/content developer, and Epic. That's how we plan to pay for the game.""
KentuckyFC (1144503) writes "One of the most profound advances in science in recent years is the way researchers from a variety of fields are beginning to formulate the problem of consciousness in mathematical terms, in particular using information theory. That's largely thanks to a relatively new theory that consciousness is a phenomenon which integrates information in the brain in a way that cannot be broken down. Now a group of researchers has taken this idea further using algorithmic theory to study whether this kind of integrated information is computable. They say that the process of integrating information is equivalent to compressing it. That allows memories to be retrieved but it also loses information in the process. But they point out that this cannot be how real memory works; otherwise, retrieving memories repeatedly would cause them to gradually decay. By assuming that the process of memory is non-lossy, they use algorithmic theory to show that the process of integrating information must noncomputable. In other words, your PC can never be conscious in the way you are. That's likely to be a controversial finding but the bigger picture is that the problem of consciousness is finally opening up to mathematical scrutiny for the first time."
MojoKid (1002251) writes "The upcoming PS4 game Driveclub is making waves for reasons that have nothing to do with its gameplay or development status. In a new video, the company has spelled out its free trial and upgrade policies, and the requirements are a doozy. First, the good news — PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to download a demo of the game that contains a few maps and one trial area, India. If you choose to upgrade that version, the full title will cost you $50. Here's the catch — that purchase is tied to your Playstation Plus subscription. In other words, if you stop paying Sony the official $49.95 a year for PlayStation Plus, you lose your $50 game. This is completely at odds with how PlayStation Plus membership is supposed to work. It contradicts Sony's official FAQ, which states that: 'Any content you purchase with a Plus discount is yours to keep, regardless of you membership status.'"
First time accepted submitter systemDead (3645325) writes "I looked mostly with disinterest at Debian's decision last February to switch to
systemd as the default init system for their future operating system releases. The Debian GNU/Linux distribution is, after all, famous for allowing users greater freedom to choose what system components they want to install. This appeared to be the case with the init system, given the presence of packages such as sysvinit-core, upstart, and even openrc as alternatives to systemd.
Unfortunately, while still theoretically possible, installing an alternative init system means doing without a number of useful, even essential system programs. By design, systemd appears to be a full-blown everything-including-the-kitchen-sink solution to the relatively simple problem of starting up a Unix-like system. Systemd, for example, is a hard-coded dependency for installing Network Manager, probably the most user-friendly way for a desktop Linux system to connect to a wireless or wired network. Just this week, I woke up to find out that systemd had become a dependency for running PolicyKit, the suite of programs responsible for user privileges and permissions in a typical Linux desktop.
I was able to replace Network Manager with connman, a lightweight program originally developed for mobile devices. But with systemd infecting even the PolicyKit framework, I find myself faced with a dilemma. Should I just let systemd take over my entire system, or should I retreat to my old terminal-based computing in the hope that the horde of the systemDead don't take over the Linux kernel itself?
What are your plans for working with or working around systemd? Are there any mainstream GNU/Linux distros that haven't adopted and have no plans of migrating to systemd? Or is migrating to one of the bigger BSD systems the better and more future-proof solution?"
ananyo (2519492) writes "People are living longer, which is good. But old age often brings a decline in mental faculties and many researchers are looking for ways to slow or halt such decline. One group doing so is led by Dena Dubal of the University of California, San Francisco, and Lennart Mucke of the Gladstone Institutes, also in San Francisco. Dr Dubal and Dr Mucke have been studying the role in aging of klotho, a protein encoded by a gene called KL. A particular version of this gene, KL-VS, promotes longevity. One way it does so is by reducing age-related heart disease. Dr Dubal and Dr Mucke wondered if it might have similar powers over age-related cognitive decline. What they found was startling. KL-VS did not curb decline, but it did boost cognitive faculties regardless of a person's age by the equivalent of about six IQ points. If this result, just published in Cell Reports, is confirmed, KL-VS will be the most important genetic agent of non-pathological variation in intelligence yet discovered."
Hugh Pickens DOT Com (2995471) writes "Joan Lowy writes for AP that the Department of Transportation has issued an emergency order requiring that railroads inform state emergency management officials about the movement of large shipments of crude oil through their states and urged shippers not to use older model tanks cars that are easily ruptured in accidents, even at slow speeds. The emergency order follows a warning two weeks ago from outgoing National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman that the department risks a 'higher body count' as the result of fiery oil train accidents if it waits for new safety regulations to become final. There have been nine oil train derailments in the U.S. and Canada since March of last year, many of them resulting in intense fires and sometimes the evacuation of nearby residents, according to the NTSB. The latest was last week, when a CSX train carrying Bakken crude derailed in downtown Lynchburg, Va., sending three tank cars into the James River and shooting flames and black smoke into the air. Concern about the safe transport of crude oil was heightened after a runaway oil train derailed and then exploded last July in the small town of Lac-Megantic in Canada, just across the border from Maine. More than 60 tank cars spilled more than 1.3 million gallons of oil. Forty-seven people were killed and 30 buildings destroyed in the resulting inferno. Hersman says that over her 10 years on the board she has 'seen a lot of difficulty when it comes to safely rules being implemented if we don't have a high enough body count. That is a tombstone mentality. We know the steps that will prevent or mitigate these accidents. What is missing is the will to require people to do so.'"
Trailrunner7 (1100399) writes "If law enforcement gets hold of your locked iPhone and has some interest in its contents, Apple can pull all kinds of content from the device, including texts, contacts, photos and videos, call history and audio recordings. The company said in a new document that provides guidance for law enforcement agencies on the kinds of information Apple can provide and what methods can be used to obtain it that if served with a search warrant, officials will help law enforcement agents extract specific application-specific data from a locked iOS device. However, that data appears to be limited to information related to Apple apps, such as iMessage, the contacts and the camera. Email contents and calendar data can't be extracted, the company said in the guidelines."
Rambo Tribble (1273454) writes "A 7-year German study has come to a troubling conclusion: the EM noise from human activities is interfering with birds' magnetic 'compass' [paywalled paper, but above-average abstract], and potentially disrupting migratory behavior. While science is unclear how the birds' compasses work, it is theorized it employs the quantum phenomenon of electron spin. As the lead researcher, Prof Henrik Mouritsen, is quoted as saying, 'A very small perturbation of these electron spins would actually prevent the birds from using their magnetic compass.' The BBC has a nice summary article, as well."
trbdavies (979982) writes 'Only in San Francisco' used to refer to issues like whether public nudity should be restricted to certain hours of the day. Now I hear it most often in connection with the interplay between the city and tech companies. SF Weekly reports on one such development: 'Anyone who's visited San Francisco for 35 minutes knows that easy parking is a rare find. Enter Paolo Dobrowolny, an Italian tech bro who decided San Francisco was the perfect spot to test out his new experiment. Here's how it works: You find a parking spot, revel a little, let Monkey Parking know where you're located, and watch the bidding begin. Finally, give your spot to the wealthiest victim willing to pay the highest price for your spot. Drive away that much richer.'" Update: 05/08 15:52 GMT by T : I suspect that Dobrowolny's a tech pro, rather than bro, or at least that's what I suspect the Weekly meant to say.
mask.of.sanity (1228908) writes with this excerpt from The Register: "'Intel security subsidiary McAfee may be in hot water after it allegedly scraped thousands of records from the Open Source Vulnerability Database instead of paying for them. The slurp was said to be conducted using fast scripts that rapidly changed the user agent, and was launched after McAfee formally inquired about purchasing a license to the data.' Law experts say the site's copyright could be breached by individuals merely downloading the information in contravention to the site's policies, and did not require the data to be subsequently disseminated."
beaverdownunder (1822050) writes "Victoria Australia's Taxi Directorate has begun a crackdown on Melbourne Uber drivers, fining them $1700 each for operating a taxi service illegally, with total fines apparently equalling over $50000. In response, Uber has shut down its Melbourne service, and has refused to comment on whether its drivers will be compensated, since Uber told them they were providing a legal service. (Fined Uber drivers could take the company to the state's consumer tribunal: stay tuned!) Uber is set to meet with the Directorate next week but it is likely the demands the Directorate will place on Uber drivers, such as mandatory criminal record checks, vehicle inspections and insurance, will make the service in Melbourne unviable. Meanwhile, the New South Wales government is awaiting a report to determine if Uber drivers operating in that state are doing so illegally, warning that drivers could face substantial fines if they are found to have been operating in breach of the law. In South Australia, it doesn't even appear Uber will get off the ground — the state has made it clear that those who operate as an Uber driver will be driving without being covered by the state's mandatory insurance coverage, essentially de-registering their vehicle and making them liable for fines and license suspension."
PuceBaboon (469044) writes "Earlier today (Thursday), police in Kawasaki, Japan, arrested a man for violation of the firearms control law. He was apparently in possession of five, 3D-printed handguns, two of which were reportedly capable of firing normal rounds (although no actual bullets were found). The suspect was arrested after releasing video of the guns online. Japan has very strict gun control laws and, whether or not the suspect actually appeared in the alleged video, he may just have signed himself up for some serious porridge."
First time accepted submitter sumakor (3571543) writes "The House Judiciary Committee has advanced a weakened version of the USA Freedom Act (HR3361). The amended compromise version allows collection of phone call records up to two hops away from a target, potentially including millions of customer records, and allows for collection without a judge's order in emergency cases. The amended bill also drops the requirement for a privacy advocate who can appeal the rulings of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and extends the controversial Section 215 of the Patriot Act from 2015 through 2017.
Despite these significant changes the amended bill has been endorsed by the ACLU and the EFF as a first step and the most promising path towards reigning in government surveillance. The two organizations called for further Congressional measures to tighten control of surveillance authorities including an explicit definition of the term 'selector,' a reduction in the number of hops from 2 to 1 under most circumstances and the closing the loophole that allows searches of Americans' data inadvertently collected thru Section 702.
The bill now proceeds to the House Intelligence Committee, who has advanced its competing bill, the FISA Transparency and Modernization Act (HR 4291). The committee will mark up both bills on the same day, beginning at 10am Thursday, behind closed doors."
cartechboy (2660665) writes "Tesla just announced its first-quarter earnings and the numbers are interesting. It logged revenue of $713 million on deliveries of 6,457 Model S electric cars. It's worth noting that's basically the number of vehicles it said it would sell in the quarter, but that number is slightly down from the prior quarter. It built a total of 7,535 Model S cars in the quarter as it built inventory as shipments began to China where sales just started last month. Net orders in North America grew 10 percent, and production for the second quarter is expected to increase to 8,500-9,000 Model S cars. Tesla expects to deliver 35,000 cars during the 2014 calendar year. Musk told analysts that China's enthusiastic and that government support is crucial. The Model X is delayed until spring of 2015 with production-design prototypes being ready in the fourth quarter. Tesla hopes to possibly break ground as early as next month on its gigafactory, though the location has yet to be announced. Of course, the stock market is already reacting to these numbers and is currently down nearly 3 percent in after hours trading."
An anonymous reader writes "The London Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is reportedly engaging in a year-long pilot program to determine the benefits of its police force wearing video cameras during interactions with the public. 'The pilot will include a total of 500 cameras distributed across ten city boroughs.' London joins some major U.S. cities in this endeavor to improve the quality of policing through the use of wearable cameras. Privacy advocates argue, however, that police officers having these devices on their persons is not enough: 'the efficacy of police body-mounted cameras as a crime reduction and accountability tool hinges on enforcement of good policies and procedures—including something as basic as preventing officers from being able to deactivate the cameras at their own discretion.'"

Continuing our theme of asset management infographics, here's one we created on Asset Management in Europe, based on data from the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA).
Key asset management stats in Europe
Behind the U.S., Europe ranks as the second largest market in the global asset management industry, managing 31% of global AUM. According to the report, the top three countries — the UK, France and Germany — accounted for 67% of total AUM in Europe.
More than 3,200 asset management firms are registered in Europe, employing approximately 90,000 people directly and over 400,000 indirectly at end 2011.
Through its 27 member associations, 62 corporate members and 24 associate members, EFAMA represents approximately €15 trillion in assets under management.

We are all one. If we all knew it, we could not hurt one another. By sharing this message, perhaps we can change the world. Visit OneJourney.net to learn more!
Question: I've seen that I've said and done some terrible things to people in my life. How do I get through this guilt and shame? Is there a right way to make amends to the people I've wronged?
Answer: Oh yes, there is. Change yourself. In the long run, there is no other way that we can either be forgiven for who and what we have been, nor is there any other way to truly forgive others. Start by daring to stay awake to these recurring bouts with shame and, instead of identifying with the negative sensation that is merely a rerun of your old nature, drop it like a hot rock. You'll have to work at this, but real results will follow.
