Good morning, all. Ruth is traveling today, so this is my effort at a substitute post. I am super-busy lately, and I don't really have much time to hang about. So please do your part to keep the conversation going as I won't be able to be here long.
In an effort to keep with the tradition Ruth honors, here are some links to international news. I am writing this on Wednesday morning, so maybe there will be other avenues that can be added in the comments either as updates or more bad (or please Universe, something good for a change) news.
While looking around for something different, I came across this account of a female warlord in Afghanistan. What a life! Also, women in charge not any different, sometimes.
Seeking refuge in Gaza is an on-going struggle. The children are terrified. Not so much in Israel, lapdog Kerry's pronouncements to the contrary.
Censoring the reporting on Gaza. This has to change. E-mail MSNBC.
Ali Abunimah from Electronic Intifada was on Democracy Now. I could not believe my ears either. "The monotony of massacre. . ." It is really tiresome.
And it cannot go unmentioned, in Arizona, another botched execution. How can there be hope?
Baby kittehs. Rare.

]]>Albuquerque made international news as the result of a police lapel-cam video gone viral, of officers killing a homeless mentally-ill man on March 16. James Boyd, or Abba, as he preferred, was the 37th person shot and the 22nd killed by police in Albuquerque since 2010. (The toll has risen to 23 after another police shooting on March 25. There was a non-fatal shooting by plain clothes US marshals (caution, graphic content and language) on March 28.)
It is due only to the lapel cams that we know how Abba died. The police have refused to make many of their (our) videos public, but the videos we have seen are difficult to watch. WHY was this video released? Soon after the shooting, the newly hired Chief of Police pronounced it "justified." His hasty conclusion caused him and the Mayor a lot of grief. It appears the Chief, the police and their supporters believe the video shows the shooting was justified, or it would never have been released. Clearly what the police believe and what the public sees are two vastly incongruous realities. Nearly 2 weeks after the shooting, APD finally admitted that no one from the Crisis Intervention Team was ever called to the scene during the 4-hour standoff with Abba, who was apparently asleep when the police arrived to confront him.
Years of complaints by family members of the 21 killed before Abba have been largely unseen by the public, though their families have continually advocated for their dead loved ones at every City Council meeting and at numerous marches. Civil lawsuits have been filed, at least $26 million dollars in taxpayer-funded settlements have been paid by the City to date, but no officer has ever faced criminal charges. The Department of Justice has been conducting an investigation of the police and the use of force as well as training and other issues, and the Mayor has begged to have that report soon, so he can "act on their recommendations." The DoJ has just announced their investigation is complete and have scheduled a press conference for Thursday. Amid calls for the DoJ to take-over APD, the Mayor now says he is allocating an additional $1 million in his budget for more police training on mental illness.
But citizens of Albuquerque have seen enough, and the city has had demonstrations, a candlelight vigil, and many meetings as disillusion grows like the wild mustard that has taken over every open space in town this spring.
The first demonstration organized by ANSWER brought 1000-1500 people to the streets, one of the largest non-violent demonstrations since W's Iraqi invasion. A second demonstration called by a mysterious operation purporting to be "Anonymous" attracted a rowdy crowd of 350 or so. Local organizers did not find the affiliation authentic, and due to the appearance of outside unknowns calling for people to sit in and face arrest at police headquarters, were leery to participate. At the same time, there was a threat by Anonymous against the APD website that the City took seriously. The site was hacked, as promised. The called-for demonstration was mobile and boisterous, and it moved from the initial location downtown (at APD HQ) to the university area. (Un)Occupy was holding its weekly meeting in a park when police in riot gear suddenly appeared. Fearing for the safety of the crowd, members of (Un)Occupy became active in promoting non-violence, engaging with the crowd to negotiate safe space, and observing police activities. Other organizers also stepped in, due to livestream coverage.
The crowd moved again from the University area to downtown, then back and forth between the University and downtown over the course of almost 12 hours. The crowd changed in composition over the course of the day, at one point taking the freeway for a brief time. There were many young men, probably most participating in their first demonstration. Despite the lack of organization, they did remain largely non-violent, though there was graffiti, pole climbing and other behavior that was uncontrolled, making some observers uncomfortable.
The police wore extreme costumes, provided by grants from Homeland Security. There were police on horses, and the horses wore face and eye-guards in an effort to shield them from tear gas, which was deployed on at least 2 occasions in the evening, near the University and downtown. Some protesters wore Guy Fawkes masks and bandanas soaked in vinegar or water for protection. There was behavior indicating agitators and provocateurs. One man who showed up with a gun that may have been a paint gun or something more dangerous was sent packing by the crowd chanting, "Power people, not guns!" "You don't speak for us!" "Go home!" His name and photo have been posted on line by activists.
The Mayor called it "mayhem." Others used words like "violent," "thugs" and "mob" to describe the crowd. There were 4 arrests, certainly not due to a lack of police presence. It was not a riot.
A community meeting to regroup and discuss next steps was quickly put together for the following evening. A crowd of over 150 was present, along with local media. The meeting was civil, with many expressing deep feelings of sadness that our community is in this mess, others calling for dialog and additional actions. Militarization of the police was discussed. A list of demands was made and 3 were singled out for immediate action.
Our stalwart legal observer said he had been called by the police who wanted to meet with a few people. That meeting happened immediately prior to another demonstration that did not see police in heavy gear as before, though tanks were staged. The most recent demonstration was also non-violent. Police support rallies have also been held and are pending.
The City Council cleared their agenda on Monday night to hear from the public about this crisis. Councilor Rey Garduno, who was gassed at the 2nd demonstration, organized a panel of 4 outstanding speakers who gave historical background to the current (actually on-going for decades) situation: a psychologist and academic who has contributed to several reports for the City on police violence and who presents her work across the country, the state chair of the League of United Latin American Citizens, a formerly homeless man, and a woman who emptied an enormous handbag full of prescriptions she takes for PTSD and other mental health conditions. Each panelist also had a family member killed or assaulted by APD or had been attacked themselves. The Council then listened to 5 hours of passionate comments by the public that ranged from outrage and tearful to thoughtful on how we can best address the problems with the police force. There were several who spoke in support of APD and individual officers.
Several legislators have weighed in about the mental healthcare crisis in New Mexico, which has worsened due to actions taken by the administration of Governor Susana Martinez. Last year after accusing almost every provider in the state of fraud, well-established mental health clinics across the state were closed, therapists were dismissed and care was outsourced to corporations from Arizona. No fraud has yet been proved, and the Arizona providers have laid off workers and cut staff due to (who could have possibly anticipated) a "lack of clients."
At this time we will await the report of the DoJ and hope that our Council will quickly adopt all the recommendations of the Police Oversight Committee. Meanwhile, actions continue to be scheduled and people remain ready to mobilize until some change comes. I am sure there will be more to report.
And that, dinerzens, is today's Over Easy. A fond shout-out to our beloved Southern Dragon, who would have been up for these events. Have a great morning! I have to run out in a while, but I will try to drop by for conversation, as I am able. Off-topic is always welcome at our little diner.
Late day edit: I am told the numbers of the 2nd demo (featured now at the top of the page video-THANK YOU mods!) are more likely 500-800 over the course of the day.
]]>I wrote about the petition drive here. Since then, our community has been organizing and mobilizing. We have been educating voters. Our coalition, RespectABQWomen.org worked daily for months, building momentum before we knew when the issue would be on the ballot. It began as the petition drive, with tacit support of the Mayor and his appointed City Clerk, gained access to the political process through local mega-churches where petition signatures were gathered in record time.
Rules for City elections (previously litigated: ID), run by the City Clerk (appointed) and for county elections (no ID), run by the County Clerk (elected), are different. The City of Albuquerque, a subset of Bernalillo County, has unincorporated areas and communities with their own governments carved out of it. So while this ballot measure was promoted widely, there were areas of the community/voters not allowed to participate (nor petition signatures from these voters counted), because they are not residents of the City. The story of disenfranchisement is also complex, and I will only mention it briefly.
The complexities of democracy are lost on a lot of people. So too the idea that it was not so much about enfranchising voters on a controversial issue as much as the subset: creating an opportunity for anti-abortion litigation from a municipality that was the chief desired outcome of OR. Albuquerque voters were a pawn in this game, and women's health care needs were the ultimate attempted check-mate.
OR and others arrived in Albuquerque not long after the ballot measure was underway to train young zealots and mobilize them at a variety of locations around the city and county. These locations included the Holocaust Museum, a private residence and clinics. They came with Photoshopped images in tow. The Feminist Majority partnered with the Religious Coalition for Abortion Choice and others, training legal observers in defense of the clinics, to protect women in exercising their health care needs during this time. Because the City has an ordinance protecting private homes from demonstrations, the abortion evangelists took their terrorizing protest to a private residence in the county. (Subsequently, the County passed a similar ordinance.)
Young Women United and others developed a local message that resonated with our community. The message was clear. "Abortion after 20 weeks is a deeply personal matter between a woman, her family, and her doctors. This is not a decision for the government to make. The ballot initiative is misleading. Vote against the measure."
RespectABQWomen was the umbrella under which other organizations partnered, including Planned Parenthood. These groups of young women formed the backbone of the efforts, and older women, men and families followed their lead. A major campaign of phone-banking, informational demonstrations and house to house canvassing was implemented. National women's rights and health care rights organizations participated in phone banks. It was a tremendous effort to derail OR's goal of passing a municipal ordinance for a federal court case (to be funded by Albuquerque taxpayers of course).
Early voting turnout was impressive, and the election turned on voting results from early voting against the ban, 55% to 45% in favor. Talking to voters in person, either on the phone or at their doors turned the tide. People understand late term procedures are rare (1.5% of all abortions) and often involve wrenching decisions over fatal fetal abnormalities. Voters over 60 had lived with the abortion ban prior to Roe vs: Wade and had personal experiences with the difficult circumstances of a tragic pregnancy. In addition, generations of voters who grew up with women's health care options were clear about the need for women to decide.
I participated in all phases of this defense of women, and it was the most positive campaign in which I have ever been involved. Yesterday I worked as a "representative observer" for RespectABQWomen at the polls. My location was the Albuquerque Museum. Photoshopped images were paraded in front of the museum, the requisite distance from the polls. There were numerous complaints from museum patrons, including adults accompanying busloads of children forced to pass these sick images. The ACLU organized a fantastic group of lawyers to be on-call. Voters felt intimidated by the demonstrators who blocked their way with signs, yelling and "praying." Thanks to the lawyers, the City Clerk sent security.
This is a longer and more complex story. We were set up to fail in every possible way by the collusion of the City Clerk who provided no early voting sites in half of the City. Voting day locations included mega-churches. University students were denied a voting day location. The Catholic Church opposed us. And yet, we prevailed.
Critical information for the next places in the crosshairs of the anti-women movement must be established. Messaging needs to reflect the values of the community. Women must lead the effort, young women and women of color are essential. There will be national press and national support. It is expensive. But it is going to remain a pitched battle until we can begin to turn the tide back to women. We must thwart every effort they attempt.
Albuquerque has shown the way. We shut that whole thing down. You can do it, and you will do it too!
]]>Good morning, Dinerzens! I hope you are not blown away, washed away or otherwise incapacitated by the weather in your parts today. Apparently there is bad weather headed to Fukushima, and it sounds like more trouble should be expected. The freak storm that hit the Black Hills earlier this month has not had so much coverage, but the tens of thousands of cattle killed in the storm leave a big mess to clean up while ranchers and the surviving cattle themselves still mourn the losses. Continued rain and threats of more snow complicate the clean up. Yes, and the government shut down means no federal dollars for the emergency.
More trouble in Afghanistan too, as Kerry tries to negotiate US bases after 2014.
And the NSA, scoping out your e-mail address books. And the debt crisis looms, still.
We had elections in Albuquerque last week, and we will be having more elections next month: a run-off in a City Council district that could shift the balance of power (5-4 either way) as well as the anti-abortion ban that is going to be on a special ballot city-wide. I have written about this before, but it has become a reality. I have been listening to various political strategies, but the bottom line is that we need to educate the public about the need for safe medical procedures for pregnancies that will bring tragedies no matter what decisions Moms, Dads and doctors have to make in these circumstances.
The cranes and geese are starting their southward migrations. Grab a cuppa, and listen for their chatter overhead. I'll be on the road later, but I'll be around for a while this morning. Welcome, everyone!

]]>Good Morning, dinerzens! I have been busy again, we have had a ton of rain in NM, and Colorado is just a tragic situation as we have all been hearing. My brother told me this last week was like the week we had when we were getting ready for the big sale at my father's business: endless, exhausting, and finally, rewarding. He had flooding, but "it's just stuff" is the remark we make when our family is safe and the worst we can say is the stuff "got ruined."
I did lose Mr. Sadness since my last diary, and mornings are very hard, still. He had his meds and gravy at breakfast for so long, and it has been many years since I have not been tending to a sick animal. So the loss is still deeply felt. I am struggling with our feral colony as their home base has remained under attack from all sides, but we are still feeding and the cats still have shelter at this time.
I have been trying to get someone(s) from our national laboratories with some ability to talk about Fukushima to help us put together a radio call-in program for our public station on what is going on there. I cannot believe the amounts of toxic and radioactive stuff that are going into the environment and the on-going evacuations in Japan. We have the resources here somewhere to talk about it, but I have not unearthed them yet.
We are having a national dialog on Native America Calling on Syria today. I don't know if anyone out there listens to it, but it is broadcast from here, and one of my (un)Occupy friends is on the show today. It airs at 1 PM EST.
I guess I'll make that the extent of my diary today, hope you find the coffee ready by the time you sit down.
I am so sorry I overslept today and did not get to the diner at the appointed time. I used to work in restaurants, and I had a lot of dreams over the years of morning disasters like this. I had a lot of naked waitress dreams, which of course meant I was stressing over some lack of preparedness in some other aspect of my life, but I never got used to being naked in front of my customers, in my dreams. I had naked bartender dreams also, when I did that job. I had dreams of cooking eggs, and forgetting orders, having too many customers at once and all of that. But I have not had a naked diary nightmare, so I guess this is it. So sorry for being late again. It was the holiday that threw me off, I guess. It feels like Monday, but we have already had our excellent weekly Monday Science installment. There is just no excuse, and all I can think of is how hard Richard worked every day to have the Diner ready each morning no matter how poorly he was feeling.
Over the weekend I exchanged e-mails with an old friend who said the world is just too terrible, and I think that about covers it. Between Fukushima and Syria, we are in a a dangerous way. My cat, Mr. Sadness, is very sick now, and I am struggling with what comes next for him. That is my big agenda item for today, consulting with the clinic about how to deal with his current issues. Yes, it is a hard time for everyone.
My e-mail overflows with petitions, requests for money, and political actions. I got some exciting news from a filmmaker who made a short movie during our going out of business sale last year. Her name is Janire Najera, and she says the film has been short-listed for "Cannes in a Van," which is a little festival that happens off-side the bigger festival. If you want to see it you can go here.
That's all I have for today, but remember off topic is always good. Thanks to BT for helping us understand Fukushima better. It really has me in a turmoil, all that radiation.
]]>I was on the road last week and scarce to these parts. I hope everyone is enjoying the last days of teh school free or is glad to see school starting up again. The temperatures are dropping at night and the air is taking on that edge that portends a new season. I understand I am not the only one who is busy with peaches, apples, grapes, tomatoes and other delights from our yards and gardens.
I was not aware the Park Service and those happy rangers of our youth have now become law enforcement officers. I was surprised to see tasers and guns as well as enforcement behavior when I was in one of our National Parks last week. I understand there are actually jails in some of our parks now. I did a little research on the matter and find that there may be some actual crimes like poaching, arson and dope production that are regular offenses in our parks. And of course the Park Service in Washington, DC has all manner of demonstrations to contend with. Including dancing.
New Mexico has become a locus for focus by such organizations as ALEC/Koch brothers and national anti-women actions. I don't know if this is merely an opportunity that comes with having the first Latina Republican Governor and a sympathetic Mayor of Albuquerque. But we have seen a lot of national presence lately.
Oh, I overslept. What a lame excuse.
You know I am an artist, and sometimes it is just all about art. Here is a look at atmospheric phenomena that I thought might be interesting for others.
We had incredible lightening storms in New Mexico for a couple of nights as Walter De Maria was leaving the earthly plane. I happened to know some people who were at the Lightening Field when the storms were on and said it was the most incredible experience ever. RIP, Walter.
This may have been covered already somewhere at FDL, and I missed it. But I think it is an outstanding rundown of the latest lip movement from PBO. I can't stand to listen any more.
I forgot to add this link to sign a card for Bradley Manning.
I am so sorry for getting the diner open late this morning. Have a good day, see you in the comments.

]]>I managed to get through my child-bearing years without bearing children or becoming pregnant. I did not want children, and now in the years when I might be enjoying grandchildren, I will have to settle for only the vicarious experiences of grandparents of my acquaintance.
Before it was legal, I had friends who flew to England or drove to Mexico to get abortions. I have friends who boarded buses alone and traveled to distant towns or cities where sympathetic doctors performed illegal abortions and friends who met strangers on corners, cash in hand and were driven blindfolded to (illegal) "abortion factories."
Wendy Davis and women (and men) in Texas and North Dakota and North Carolina and other places across the country have stood up against the arbitrary and authoritarian dictates of those who oppose all abortion and want to chip away at the choices women (and men) make together or alone to end pregnancies using legal and safe methods.
The latest chipping away has come down now to counting weeks, 20 to be specific, and this new and arbitrary number has a lot of people agreeing that really, we should draw a line, and that seems like a "viable" number.
No One should interfere in a medical decision that has to remain between a woman (or a couple) and her/their doctor.
A pregnancy that medically ends at 20 or whatever number of weeks beyond that is not common. Only 1.5% of abortions are performed at this stage. It is expensive, thousands of dollars. So it is not done casually. It is dangerous, if not done by well-practiced medical professionals.
I have now personally experienced, in my vicarious grandmotherly way, the tragic end to a wanted pregnancy, expectant joy that turned to the deepest sorrow, at 23 weeks.
Even with (and because of) all the medical equipment and diagnostic methodologies, it can be late in a pregnancy when terrible fetal abnormalities are discovered. Fatal ones. At this point, there are no good "choices."
Should the pregnancy continue until the fetus dies in utero? Should the woman's life be put at risk? Should a family be forced to continue a pregnancy so there is a birth certificate followed by a death certificate? So there can be a funeral and a gravestone? Who outside those concerned should decide what pain and suffering should be borne?
The termination of pregnancy at this stage, whether it occurs "naturally" or medically is an immense loss, the very thought almost unbearable. It is real, but also intangible lacking both a birth certificate and a death certificate. How does one measure the love that was not born and the grief that was?
Zealots, political and religious, care little for real mothers and fathers who face these unexpected tragedies. They care less for the doctors and other medical professionals who deliver the terrible news, the second opinions and the final results. A cruel and calculating state has no role to play.
Operation Rescue and their like are collecting signatures in Albuquerque as we speak, to put a restrictive abortion measure on our City ballot in October. It appears they will gather sufficient petitions to create another case for a SCOTUS challenge.
There is no end to it. We'll fight back because we will Never Give Up.

]]>According to the parliamentarians, "parliamentary procedure defines how groups of people, no matter how formal or informal, can most effectively meet and make decisions in a fair, consistent manner—and make good use of everyone's time. Even a basic background in parliamentary principles can help you and your organization hold more efficient meetings."
What I saw, admittedly with my scarce understanding of Roberts Rules of Order, was what appeared to be biased and unfair parliamentary rulings against the filibuster by Senator Wendy Davis. While other Senators have been able to read from the phone book during a filibuster, Senator Davis was ruled out of order once because a colleague handed her a back brace and then assisted her to put it on.
"This challenge was resolved by a vote of the Texas Senate, as the Lt. Governor, citing no prior precedent for a ruling, turned the decision over to the body. The Republicans who were sticklers for the letter of the law voted for a violation not written in the rules for which there was no precedent!"
At another point, one of her colleagues tried (and failed) to get a ruling against her for reading from an electronic device of some sort instead of from "paper" as written in the rules. In the end, Senator Davis was shut down by two rulings from the chair related to her speaking "off-topic" on matters that were clearly related to the bill.
Editor's Note: Three rulings shut down her filibuster: two for what the Lt. Governor ruled was 'off-topic' speaking and the third for touching her back brace. -MyFDL Editor
The TX Senate Parliamentarian is appointed by the Lt. Governor, and Karina Davis, the designated parliamentarian who ran the show may be incompetent, biased or both. It will be a service to those who were watching if a proper review of her rulings is made by certified experts. It is possible she simply "knows her place" based on TX parliamentarian history.
It will probably be days before we see evaluations and analysis of the rulings of the Chair in the TX Senate. My personal experience with parliamentary process is limited, but I have a healthy respect for those who have learned the intricacies of the manuals and books that are used in our legislative bodies as a means of keeping order and decorum in the process of making laws. I hope we see some explanations on the rulings of what was "germane" to the discussion as well as a review of the collaboration between the Lt. Governor and Karina Davis.
The final vote was taken after the clock ran out on the special legislative session. The Republicans first claimed the vote was timely, but they tampered with the time stamp and their attempted fraud was thwarted due to the thousands of witnesses on line and present in the capitol.
So the filibuster was successful, and women's rights are temporarily safe, until the next special session when there will be another chance to watch parliamentary process in action. Let's hope the public sees a fair example of it the next time. I won't hold my breath.

Stick-with-it strategies to shed pounds and get strong—guaranteed!
Ready to start an exercise program? Just making the commitment is an amazing first step. To ensure success, here are seven surprisingly simple, research-backed strategies that can help you overcome the most common roadblocks to weight loss. They'll motivate you through the ups and downs of any new workout routine, so you'll stick to it and reach all your fitness goals.
1. Learn what "build slowly" means
Be realistic about your abilities. Experts say to progress gradually, but most of us don't know how to translate that into real-life terms—especially those who used to be active but have gotten out of the habit. "Formerly fit people are surprised and frustrated when they find themselves winded after a walk around the park," says Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, director of the Weight Management Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
If you haven't worked out in years, start with a manageable goal, like 20 minutes of walking or yoga twice a week for 2 weeks. When you're ready to progress, either bump your number of workouts to 3 a week or increase their length to 25 or 30 minutes—but don't try both at the same time. Taking on too much too soon can leave you achy and discouraged; that's why experts recommend you change only one thing at a time—the frequency, duration, or intensity of your workouts. If your new cardio workout still leaves you gasping for air, don't be afraid to slow your pace—you should be slightly breathless but able to talk. You'll be more likely to follow your program if you exercise at a comfortable level, according to White's research. Strength-training will get easier, too. A study from Ohio University found that muscles adapt to resistance exercises after a mere 2 weeks.
2. Keep an activity log
Hands down, lack of time is the number one reason we struggle to keep exercising. Yet studies find we may have more time than we think. Women ages 45 to 70 spend an average of 28 hours a week in sedentary activities outside of their jobs, such as reading and web surfing, according to a University of Oklahoma study—ample time to find at least 2 1/2 hours a week for exercise. Keep a log of everything you do for 3 days, suggests Jennifer White, PhD, an assistant professor of fitness and wellness at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Then find ways to sneak in activity. Time in front of the TV can double as a stretching session, while a cell phone headset allows you to power walk while you're on hold with the credit card company.
3. Prepare for post-workout hunger
Exercise can boost metabolism for a few hours, but burning more calories can increase your appetite. To avoid the munchies after exercising (and eating back the calories you just burned), try to schedule workouts so that you have a meal within an hour afterward. Or save part of an earlier meal to eat during that time, says Fernstrom. Snacks combining carbohydrates and protein—like a fig bar and fat-free milk, or cantaloupe and yogurt—are best to refuel muscles and keep you from feeling ravenous later on. If you still feel hungry, wait 10 to 15 minutes before eating more to make sure you're physically, not just mentally, hungry. Distract yourself while you wait: Keep your hands occupied by cleaning out a drawer or giving yourself a manicure.

Not a shot in hell for me. The only reason I wen't for the ps3 originally was my blindness due to brand loyalty, and the fact the games I liked (or thought I would like) we're exclusives to the PS3...until the weren't *glares at Square-Enix*. I'm not saying I wouldn't get a PS4/vita4 or whatever pretentious latin name they might add to the end of it, but there's 100%chance that i'd go for the next Microsoft console first...if I even buy a console next gen, who knows. But i do know Sony = probably one of my least favorite companies. period. --- "You cannot fire me, not now"! --Motomu Toriyama | |
I'll probably get the next Xbox console, as long as SMT or Persona do not make a comeback on the next Playstation console, and it doesn't do that used games thing. --- "EVENT ENDED!" --- | |
justinlynch3 posted... blankxmyxblank posted...I have seen many people talking about owning at least 2 of the consoles from this gen in each household, so I was wondering how many people here were going to be sticking with Sony as their first choice for the next batch of consoles. Freaking this. I wanted to go with the PS3 this gen (Like others, I've been with Sony since the PSX days), but that price was WAAAAYYY too steep for my tastes, so I went to the 360 instead since it was cheaper* and I had no interest in the Wii. *Although, when you factor in the fact that you have to pay money to play online, the 360 is ultimately more expensive than the PS3 (just throwing that out there). --- XBLGT: SkyKnight85 -- Currently Playing: MTG: DotP 2013, Halo Wars, and Borderlands -- Current Gamerscore: 16429 | |
Nope, PS3 was just a paperweight for me this gen. (Aside from the Blu-ray movies) Got 93 360 games, and Wii U looks very interesting to me. Sure MS doesnt have many exclusives, but I am really into Gears and Halo. GoW to me is boring, and Uncharted is just a big set piece. | |
Sony and Nintendo. Nintendo target audience, the casuals, have moved to Iphone games so hopefully Nintendo will actually make some quality games now. | |
nope all the games i have for it are 1st party games all my 3rd party games are on 360 so i will get the new xbox on launch and the ps3 a yr later or when the price lowers. --- And I looked, and behold a pale horse, and his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him | |
Can't see myself going over to xbox, I like the playstation controller and exclusives too much. The only possibility of me getting an xbox console ever would be if they got some exclusives I'd have any interest in (unlike this gen in which the one exclusive I would have bought s*** on the entire franchise (banjo kazooie)) because multi plats I would just get on the console I already like. I also don't think I would get a Wii U instead of a PS4, maybe as well as if they get some good games. --- http://psnprofiles.com/goatjugsoup1278 Currently playing: Bioshock while wondering what I should name my alt psn | |
next gen I think i will be getting Wii U and PS4 I prefer exclusives and thats one thing Nintendo AND Sony get right every gen! hoping for Uncharted 4 on PS4 as a launch game! --- PSN-bigboss19 XBL-bigboss19 |

text: I'm hunting for hidden calories in my diet and discovered that the sugar-free drink mix I currently drink isn't calorie-free by any stretch. So now I'm looking for a replacement. I've found one or two mixes online that say they're calorie-free, but I don't see them as a product sold locally in Wal-Mart or Publix (my two main supermarkets). Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm not looking for a tea mix or a specialty item that's going to be prohibitively expensive. I'm not a big water-drinker, so I'm not going to drink nothing but water, so please no recommendations that I do.

Don't look for originality or anything outside of the American canon, but if you want hot coffee by the gallon, real buttermilk pancakes served with maple syrup that actually once saw the inside of a tree, and grits with sawmill gravy, Cracker Barrel delivers. The gift shops attached to each restaurant offer everything from books on tape and classic candies to lawn ornaments, pancake mix, Loretta Lynn CDs and the kind of tourist T-shirts that tend to pop up at ironic moments in Quentin Tarantino movies.

We recently reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II—the second generation of the already superb Sony Cyber-shot RX100, which is one of the best compact cameras on the market. While the update gives you WiFi connectivity and an improved sensor, if you want to save money, you can still get a great deal on its predecessor, which is part of a discounted bundle at BuyDig until October 7. Along with the camera, you get a Sony 64GB high-speed memory card, a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements 11, and free overnight shipping.

The Nikon J-series is a tiny step up from the classic point-and-shoot. Customers get the feeling they're using a simple, $200 device, but are actually getting the image quality expected from a compact system camera. We reviewed the Nikon 1 J3 and found that while it had solid image quality, it also had useful shooting modes, accurate autofocus, and speedy continuous shooting. It's pricey though, so if you want the same experience, you might want to look into the Nikon 1 J2, which is on sale at Amazon in multiple colors for about $300 with free shipping.

Want to break into the DSLR world but don't know where to start? Well B&H Photo is running a great promotion on select Nikon DSLRs and lenses until September 28.

It's pricey for some general consumers, but offers enough power and quality for enthusiasts and professionals. If this isn't for you, there are a number of other models on sale.

GoPro is one of the leading manufacturers of adventure cams and the Hero3 lives up to the name in many ways. It has a slew of features including built-in WiFi, different frame rate options, and still photo modes. It's not the best adventure cam out there—it has disappointing battery life and isn't as durable as the competition—but it's lightweight and durable enough for most trips. The deal through Cabela's cuts the price to $329 and is eligible for free shipping and other rewards.

The Panasonic DMC-G5 isn't the best compact system camera that the manufacturer has put out, but it has a lot of great qualities that might justify a purchase. It has some manual controls that other lower-end cameras don't have, along with honest color reproduction and the ability to take decent video. Its MSRP is high, but this deal through Amazon brings it down to $347 with free shipping, putting it more in an acceptable price range.

The good days won't last forever. While summer comes to a close and the cold, dark nights are just around the corner, you wonder if you'll see the sunlight ever again.
You can preserve the memories of summer with any of the cameras that are on sale this weekend during Labor Day. Some major retailers apply big discounts to top-notch cameras and camcorders, so it'll be one of the best times to get good deals before Black Friday.
We gave the Sony NEX-5R an "Editor's Choice" award thanks to its surprisingly great image quality. Considering it's billed as an entry-level camera, it has strong noise reduction, resolution, and dynamic range scores. Our imaging experts are big fans of Sony's interchangeable lens cameras and were excited about this deal over at Adorama. Adding it to your shopping cart cuts the price down to $439 for the body plus the kit lens, along with free shipping.
You can do better than this DSLR if you want a full-frame camera, but the Nikon D3200 is easy to use, takes decent pictures with strong color accuracy thanks to its 24-megapixel sensor, and is light enough to not weigh you down on photo excursions. Now you can get it through Dell Home's labor day sale, which discounts the camera down to $549 with free shipping.
We haven't yet reviewed this camcorder, but the similar Canon Vixia HF R40 delivered great quality video for a low price, so it's safe to assume this deal isn't a bad one. It's on sale through Dell Home for $279 with free shipping. Sure it's only $20 in savings, but it has a 53x advanced zoom, making it good for capturing each moment as it happens.
This Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus is a couple years old at this point, but it's a unique option for people who want DSLR quality in a smaller package. We haven't reviewed this camera, but you can either spend close to $649 on a newer model or spend nearly $400 less on an older cousin like the E-PL3. Newegg newsletter subscribers can use the coupon code "EMCXMTX86," which drops the price down to $219 with free shipping.
We haven't yet reviewed the NX2000, but we did test its sibling: The Samsung NX1000. We found that while it scored high in sharpness and image quality, it lagged in color accuracy. Both the NX1000 and the NX2000 have built-in WiFi that you can use to upload photos immediately to your favorite social networks and to the cloud. This deal through BuyDig also gets you a free 32GB SD memory card, Adobe Photoshop Elements, and Premiere Elements 11. Using the coupon code "NXSAVE100" cuts it to $497 with free shipping.

The capacity of the Ajax Amsterdam stadium has been reduced by 5,000 because UEFA want to put up advertising boards!

Passenger Pigeons and Tricolored Blackbirds
April 27th, 2014 · 1 Comment · Audubon California, Bird conservation, Bird Habitat, Bird videos, Tricolored Blackbird
You're going to be hearing a lot about the Passenger Pigeon in the coming months. September will mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Martha, the last Passenger Pigeon. The extinction of this species, which went from numbers in the billions to total extinction in just a few decades, is a cautionary tale that […]

UPDATED: Thursday, November 21, 2013 - 12:37pm
POV (KETK) — I thought I noticed the president and his supporters were not calling Obamacare Obamacare any more.
The Affordable Care Act is taking center stage once again.
Obamacare, once known as slang for the new health care law was embraced by the president last year.
He gave us all permission to use the term because it was about care and he says he worked hard to make it happen.
Now that it's in the tank, it's the Affordable Care Act again.
In fact, speaking about it yesterday, the press said Affordable Care Act seven times and not one time was it Obamacare.
We were told the last month to wait for it and that it will be fixed in late November.
Now, HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelioius, is telling us November 30th is not a magic date at all.
Now it's a work in progress.
The stories continue.
A guy in Denver tried to sign up via phone and they registered his dog by mistake.
One lady forgot her password and when she called back she got passed around to three people.
All of whom knew her social security number.
The most interesting story is the lady from the Seattle area who was thrilled about the program. She singed on the state program in Washington state.
Obamacare lowered her health insurance bill down to $160 per month, she was thrilled.
She sent the president a thank you card.
The president read the card on the air during a press conference.
Come to find out, the state computer and the federal computer didn't communicate well and there was a mistake.
Her health bill went so high, now she can't afford to pay for her insurance.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
You wait until next year when group plans are deemed not good enough for Obamacare and millions of people have no insurance.
The president can call it what he wants.
It's a debackle.
That's my point of view, what's yours/

Touting healthy sales and plans to launch a new aircraft, the head of MD Helicopters says the airframer has finally shed the financial instability that nearly shut the company six years ago.
"I've put hundreds of millions of dollars of my own money into this company. We're here and we're going to be here for a very long time. We've kept the legacy alive," Lynn Tilton, who acquired MD Helicopters six years ago, said at the show. "It's time for you to sort of celebrate what MD has done, which is keep the legacy of great products."
However, Tilton created some confusion about product development plans when she casually announced the launch of a new helicopter model in response to a question about another aircraft.
"We're actually going to be coming out with a new aircraft, which is called the 540F," Tilton said.
But another MD executive immediately back-tracked on Tilton's remark. Carl Schopfer, vice-president of engineering, clarified that the 540F has not yet been launched and remains in the "what can we do?" phase.
If the 540F receives the go-ahead, Schopfer said, it is expected to fill a gap between the 530F, with a maximum gross weight of 1,405kg (3,100lb), and the 600N, which weighs 1,859kg. The 540F could be sized to lift up to a maximum of 1,666kg, or fall between a range of 1,620-1,645kg, he added.
To achieve the 540F's lift improvement, MD would combine the airframe of the 530F with the six-blade rotor and the stronger landing gear of the 600N, Schopfer said. The rotor blades for the 540F would also be new, using a Van Horn Aviation aerofoil with a design based on an expired NASA patent.
A possible application for the 540F is a lead-in trainer for Jordan, which has acquired the 530F-based Boeing AH-6i light attack reconnaissance helicopter.
In possibly a related discussion, Tilton said that MD is talking with Boeing about expanding its marketing agreement on AH-6i to include other MD models.

WAYNE, N.J., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- MAQUET Cardiovascular today announced the launch of its VASOVIEW HEMOPRO 2 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting (EVH) System, which utilizes next-generation HEMOPRO cut-and-seal technology to reduce thermal spread and to achieve optimal conduit quality for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients. The minimally invasive VASOVIEW HEMOPRO 2 system is an example of MAQUET Cardiovascular's commitment to EVH, and technologies that promote the highest level of conduit quality.
"I expect VASOVIEW HEMOPRO 2 to lead the way in redefining best practices for EVH," said Valavanur Subramanian, M.D., Chairman, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. "Surgeons across the United States will welcome this innovative EVH product in their practices as it offers important new features such as zero thermal spread (when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use) that can help improve cardiac surgery outcomes."
After recently trying this new product with a number of CABG patients, Keith Causey, Chief Physician Assistant from Emory Healthcare, agrees. "My objective as a harvester is to provide the best conduit quality possible for long-term graft patency and clinical success. The improvements to this HEMOPRO 2 system made my vessel harvesting experience better and I am thoroughly convinced it represents a new gold standard in both saphenous vein and radial artery harvesting. I appreciate the spot cautery feature and am especially impressed by the superior sealing capability. This new EVH system is a victory for patients".
The newly designed HEMOPRO 2 Jaws feature a unique insulated area, providing the main conduit maximum protectio

My project no. 4, chapter clothes (I am trying to make some toys too). So, as soon as I saw trousers from Burda 10/2012 I though I would look skinny as the model on the picture (of course it doesnt work that way, but I do hope, always ). I bough some black semi winter material, which has some strech in it, but its nothing similar to yersey. So, I take pattern in my regular trousers size, but it turned out to be too small. I dont measure pattern as each time I do it it turned out to be too small, but end product is usually too big. This time, it was not the case. Around the waist it was just perfect, but the rest was far too small. I tried with inserting few cm fabric as seen in the picture, …hmmm… for now, its ok…
Next pair of trousers will be better. And of course, if anyone is reading this and have some tips, comments or advices ..pls. feel free… I will be happy. I want to improve my skills which are not that good at all.
Oct 29, 2012, 12.40 PMby freaky-philomeen
dear byVA, I know, if we want to hurry through to a new garment, we don't want to hear it but what really improved my trousers-making 1000 times was making a muslin.
I was so sick of never finding fitting trousers so I took a jeans-pattern with a front fly, (which alone is not easy the first times…), added inset pockets, measured my personal-fit-waistband, tried out button-holes, tried top-stitching and took notes of all my steps. I always hesitated to do the extra work and the muslin trousers is not supposed to be worn on the street ;))) …but it really paid of.
Oct 30, 2012, 07.58 AMby byVA
Thank you, thats one really good advice. I just happened to have same spare fabric, which is not to be worn even inside my home (that would be the day for my bf: me, being dressed in big pink flowers ;) ).
btw, your green cat is fantastic, I will try it too :)
Have a nice day….

Oct 30, 2012, 08.02 AMby byVA
ah, smart… The posted picture is with adjustment between legs, now, I think "your way" would give a better final result. Thanks for the advice :)

this will be my first organized raised garden. ordered seeds from Baker Creek and i plan to use cement blocks to form it. I am not much on digging, any suggestions out there. I rodered sikkim, humong red and dragon egg cucumbers. |

I do some raised beds too, they work great. I use homemade compost, mostly, but sometimes if I don't have enough I'll buy. I usually buy something labeled "humus" or "aged manure" to mix in. I don't buy "top soil" or "garden soil" becoz I don't think it has enough nutrients in it. I don't buy potting soil becoz it's too expensive. If you prepare raised beds in advance, like prepare in the fall and plant in March, you can do 'lasagna gardening' which is to cover the bed area with wet newspaper or cardboard and layer any and all organic matter like 18-24 inches deep, leaves etc, and it will "cook" down by springtime to about 6-12 inches. (you can google lasagna gardens and get lots of info on raised beds that way). When I lived in N.O. we planted out after St. Patrick's Day, or some said St. Joseph's Day, which is March 17 and 19, as I'm sure you know. Hope this helps you some. I've never grown cukes, but I guess you need something for them to grow up on or to sprawl out. |

- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gilbert breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.
