What can you tell me about orthorexia, which I understand is an obsession with eating healthy. Is this a type of eating disorder? Is it possible to be too concerned about your health? If so, how do you know where to draw the line?
You're correct. Orthorexia is a term used to describe an obsession with foods perceived as healthy or unhealthy. Officially, however, orthorexia is not an eating disorder, and from what I've read, it is unlikely to be so classified any time soon. Orthorexia has never been included in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), the "bible" of mental disorders. If a psychiatric illness is listed in the DSM, treatment is likely to be covered by insurance, and it's easier for researchers to get funding for scientific studies. The latest edition, DSM V, which is now available online for public comment, does not list orthorexia as a diagnosis, and it probably won't be added during the three years before the new manual is formally published.
The term orthorexia was coined in 1997 by Colorado physician Steven Bratman to describe what he saw as an unhealthy fixation on healthy eating and obsessive avoidance of whatever foods the patient deems unhealthy. These shunned foods could include those that contain artificial colorings, flavorings, preservatives, fats, carbohydrates, dairy products, soy, wheat, or whatever you think isn't good for you. At its most extreme, orthorexia can become anorexia nervosa, the most serious eating disorder, which can be life-threatening. In that condition, people are obsessed with body image and weight, while the focus of those believed to be orthorexic is health. This excessive focus can be pretty unhealthy in and of itself, especially if affected individuals adopt extremely restrictive diets or eliminate broad categories of food.
Yes, it is possible to be too concerned with your health and your diet. Limiting your daily fare to only a few foods you see as good for you can not only imperil your health by eliminating needed nutrients, but can also negate the pleasure of eating and the enjoyment of sharing meals with others. My views on healthy eating are well known and I emphasize pleasure as well as sound nutrition (I discuss this at length in my book Eating Well for Optimum Health). My anti-inflammatory diet includes a wide range of foods that are not only good for you but also taste good and make for enjoyable meals.
And I am comfortable with occasionally indulging my love of good pizza, dark chocolate and other treats.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Merkel will have a lot of 'splaining' to do to the German people, columnist says
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 1st, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The financial situation in Greece is far, far worse than what was originally predicted. So much so, says Telegraph columnist Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, that German Chancellor Angela Merkel will have a lot of explaining to do, saying that her bailout would not negatively impact the German people. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Evans-Pritchard, "Every detail of the Greek economy is worse than officially forecast just weeks ago."The public debt will reach 189pc of GDP next year and not the predicted 179pc. He goes on to list a gruesome litany of shortfalls - "The budget deficit will be 5.2pc (not 4.2pc) . The economy will shrink 4.5pc next year (not 3.8pc) . Unemployment is already 25.1pc and 55.6pc for youth." The cumulative error is colossal, Evans-Pritchard says. "The EU-IMF Troika originally said that the economy would contract by just 2.6pc in 2010, before growing by 1.1pc in 2011, and 2.1pc in 2012. "In fact Greek GDP contracted by 4.5pc in 2010, 6.9pc in 2011, and will shrink 6.5pc this year, and now 4.5pc next year." This calamity equals an especially red-faced moment for Chancellor Merkel, "who will have to account for direct losses to the Bundestag. A line will have to be written into the German budget covering the X billions of euros. Other line items may have to be cut. Welfare support for Germans, perhaps. "Having insisted for over two years that German taxpayers face no risk of loss on the Club Med rescue packages - and having indeed told them it generated a profit - she will have to explain why this has gone horribly wrong," Evans-Pritchard says. "No doubt she will try to delay this awful moment until after the German elections late next year. But the calendar of simmering revolt in Greece is not in her hands. One of the three parties in the pro-Memorandum coalition has already refused to go along with the budget plans. The Government majority is thinning fast." Evans-Pritchard says that he guesses that Merkel will be forced to admit to her mistakes to the nation, My guess is that Mrs Merkel will be forced to admit "that contingent liabilities are turning into real liabilities long before her elections." In summations, Evans-Pritchard says that "Greece cannot claw its way out of a 190pc of GDP debt load. The official haircut is coming sooner or later, and it will be an explosive political moment." .

Saints Bush downplays partying report
Posted By Lindsay Jones On February 4, 2010 @ 12:22 pm In General Broncos | No Comments
MIAMI — Yes, Reggie Bush was partying on South Beach this week.
Yes, he stayed out late, very late, on Monday night into Tuesday morning.
And no, he's not apologizing for it.
Celebrity gossip Web site TMZ earlier this week posted a story, with photos, of Bush and "some of his Saints teammates" entering a South Beach nightclub. Bush addressed the report during the Saints' media availability on Thursday morning.
Bush, who has joined the tabloid-fodder ranks because of his relationship with reality TV star Kim Kardashian, said he and his teammates all decided to have one night's worth of fun. That night was Monday (players did not practice Tuesday, which is normal for a game week).
"We all said we'd go out one night," Bush said. "Because of who I am, I got to be the poster boy of that night."
Bush pointed out that he — nor his teammates — have been spotted at any of South Beach's night clubs since.
"We all went out one night and then shut it down the rest of the week," Bush said.
So, what do you think? Is there a problem with players partying six days before the Super Bowl?

Winona County Fair
July 10 to 14, 2013
155th Year
103 Years in St. Charles, MN
The Winona County Fair announces that the following people have been named to the 2013 Hall of Fame. Each of these individuals exemplifies the best of Winona County whether that be volunteering in their communities, serving the fair, representing agriculture or being an integral part of the business community in Winona County. The Hall of Fame Honorees will be recognized at the Winona County Fair Recognition Program scheduled for Thursday July 11 at 2:00 PM in the entertainment tent at the fairgrounds in St. Charles.
Wednesday July 10, 2013 - Cyril Speltz Day
When talking with 2013 Hall of Fame member Cyril Speltz, you can hear the pride in his voice that he has followed a family tradition by working in agriculture all of his life as a farmer.
Cyril was raised along with brothers Dave and Richard, and sisters Teresa, Mary Ann, and Geraldine, near Altura, in an area called Oak Ridge, on a dairy farm owned by his father. It was on that farm that his love for agriculture began.
I knew what I wanted to do after I got out of school, and that was to farm I love the family farm states Speltz.
Cyril did not venture far from the home place where he grew up, and just down the road he purchased a farm where he and his bride, Mary, moved shortly after their marriage. Mary was a student at College of Saint Teresa in Winona, and that union will celebrate 56 years this coming November.
Friends introduced us on a blind date more than 50 years ago, and we are still together, says Cyril with a smile.
The Speltz family includes sons Ronnie (Linda), Randy (Pam), Rick (Shelly) and Robert (Val), and has increased over the years with 12 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. Cyril and Mary moved a bit down the road once their son Ronnie took over the farm, but still have a wonderful view of their empire from the windows of their home.
In talking about farming, Speltz described his operation as following in the footsteps of his dad milking cows and raising crops like corn, soybeans, and alfalfa. Today, the focus has changed from cows to goats, with his grandson in charge of 500 of those animals. The goat milk is picked up twice weekly and transported to Lancaster, Wis., for cheese making.
Cyril also relates he had a connection with the Winona County Fair as a 4-H member from the Mount Vernon Beacons 4-H Club. He clearly remembers staying overnight in the old cattle barns at St. Charles, and says in 1946 he would have exhibited at the Minnesota State Fair with a champion Holstein, but a polio outbreak that year forced the cancellation of the state fair.
Out in the community, Speltz had also been very active, including roles on the coop board, Knights of Columbus and the Altura Lions Club. He and Mary are also very proud that their children and grandchildren have been involved with the Winona County Fair.
Thursday July 11, 2013 Frances Edstrom Day
If there is one word that describes Hall of Fame member Frances Edstrom, it would be the word passionate that passion not only extends to her role as owner of the Winona Post, but to her community involvement in Winona.
Back in 1971, Edstrom and her husband, John, started what was known as the Shopper, and that publication has evolved into the twice-weekly newspaper known by readers in Southeastern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin as the Winona Post.
John and I had a vision, and we also needed a job, so you could say we started our business as a necessity there was no way at that point I could have imagined how the publication would grow, stated Edstrom.
For Edstrom, there is a lot of pride that the Winona Post is owned locally, and is truly a community newspaper that concentrates on Winona and the surrounding area. She emphasizes that the news can be covered by her staff in a more in depth manner. The Winona Post is also known for the editorials penned by both Edstrom, and her husband, John, prior to his death in 2012. It was a big decision to keep going last year after John died of lung cancer, but I was grateful to have my work at that point, and my staff was so wonderful during that difficult time, says Edstrom.
Today the Winona Post employs about 22 people full-time. Another 20 on a part-time basis and 160 independent delivery people get the publication to the doorstep of readers twice a week. Edstrom describes her employees as a family who care about their jobs, and work hard to make the Winona Post successful.
On the personal side, Edstrom has two daughters. Cassidy and her partner, Angie, live in St. Paul with their son, and Morgan and her husband, Dan, live in Winona along with two daughters.
Out in the community Edstrom has kept very busy over the years on many boards, including the Winona Health Auxiliary, Home and Community Options and the Great River Shakespeare Board.
When asked about the future of the Winona Post, Edstrom is adamant that she is not ready to retire, and plans to be at the helm of publication for some time to come.
I love my job and love to go to work we have an important function to tell the story to our readers, and I intend to keep doing that for as long as I can, commented Edstrom.
Friday July 12, 2013 Garlan Hulbert Day
Anyone who has come in contact with Hall of Fame member Garlan Hulbert knows he has a love and cares for his community of Lewiston. That commitment to community shows in his long history with this Winona County town.
Hulbert was born in Luverne, Minn., and grew up on a farm. During that time he recalls milking cows by hand in a barn with no electricity, turning the handle on the cream separatora different generation of farming as compared to the farms of today.
My dad did not want me to farm, so I went to South Dakota State University where my major was Industrial Arts Education, and I also was in ROTC, says Hulbert about his career path to education.
Following graduation from college, Hulbert served in the Army in Fort Collins, Colo., and after that took a teaching position in Beaver Hills, Minn., starting in 1964. In 1970, his career brought him to Lewiston and he served as an Industrial Arts educator until his retirement in 1998. Aside from classroom duties, Hulbert could also be found taking care of athletic scoreboards and video-taping football games.
In 1964, Hulbert married his wife, Pat, and next year the couple will celebrate their 50th anniversary. That union was blessed by several children, including Keith, Karen and Kevin, and also six grandchildren.
Following his teaching career at Lewiston High School, Garland took on a second career as the custodian at Immanuel Lutheran School in Lewiston, a job which he still holds.
I like to keep busy, and be out among people what better way to do that than by continuing to support education through my work at Immanuel, Hulbert commented.
Hulbert and his wife are also instrumental with the Lewiston Flower Basket project those beautiful flowers that grace Lewiston during the summer months. He currently notes that there are 41 baskets in place this year, and he and Pat assist with water wagon duties. Aside from that he has worked with a committee on a bike trail for Lewiston and was a member of the musical group Sometimes 8.
What you do for your town is important I care about Lewiston and will do what I can for as long as I can community is something you need to care about, states Hulbert.
Saturday July 13, 2013 Dianne Rislow Day
The community of Lewiston is well known for its concern for the C work, meaning cancer, and Hall of Fame member Dianne Rislow has been a major supporter of that cause for her community for 30 years.
When the Lewiston Fools Five Road Race started about 30 years ago, Rislow was there to lend a hand to the committee that coordinated that event. In the early days, Gary Mills ran the race, and Rislow was involved with registration and accounting. For the past 5 years she has served as the director of the Fools Five, an event that has raised about $1.7 million dollars for cancer research over the years.
I remember the first year we had 225 runners and raised a little over $2,000 the race headquarters was just the hallway of the high school. It is a good feeling to be involved in such an important cause, says Rislow.
What started out with a few hundred participants has increased to thousands, and a representation from more than 20 states. The event also now has an auction and a bone marrow registry. Today there is a core committee of 16 people, but that does not include all the volunteers including law enforcement, ambulance crew, and aid station people.
We have some of the best people involved, and that is a blessing for the Fools Five and the community of Lewiston it is so important for people to come together and celebrate, and more so that we support one another when someone gets a cancer diagnosis, emphasizes Rislow.
Next year Rislow is stepping back, but not away as Dan Goss and Andrea Overing take over as co-directors for the Fools Five. Rislow now works as an administrative assistant for a doctor at Mayo Clinic that does pancreatic cancer research. Those hours at work prompted Rislow to pass on the director duties to others.
Rislow was born in Lanesboro, and made her way to Lewiston after her marriage to Jack Rislow. The couple have been married for 43 years. Their children include Carrie (Tony), Christine (Greg) and Brian (Kate) and several grandchildren.
It is important to be involved in your community, and the Fools Five is a very important cause, concludes Rislow.
Sunday July 14, 2013 Elmer Papenfus Day
Hall of Fame member Elmer Papenfus, of St. Charles, has the distinction of likely being the oldest former member of the Winona County Fair Board. At age 91, Papenfus has fond memories of his days on the board back in the 1970s.
He recalls starting at the bottom hauling manure generated from the animals exhibited at the fair. Some other duties were working with the Green Thumb group that built the grandstand fence that still stands today, and coordinating the construction of Rentfrow Hall that is now used to house the Art and Photography exhibits. Some other fair board duties also included working on the off-season rental of fair buildings for storage.
The fair board was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me that I really enjoyed of course I like to rock the boat when I have an opinion, so that kind of got me in trouble once in awhile a board needs to work together, so I tried most of the time to do just that, said Papenfus with a twinkle in his eyes.
Papenfus grew up in Hokah, Minn., one of 13 children, but made his way to the St. Charles area to farm, and also manage a feed store for several years. He is very proud to have been a farmer, and his work raising hogs and cattle. Over the years he sold breeding stock to 4-H members, and he enjoyed working with 4-H members on their projects.
I had a couple of those fellows come to my 90th birthday open house last year, and tell me how much I had helped them as 4-Hers. That meant a lot to me to hear that, stated Papenfus.
While much of his land has been sold off, Papenfus and his wife, Beatrice, still live in a home on their remaining 13 acres south of St. Charles. The couple have been married 69 years, and met on a blind date back in the 1940s at the Pla Mor Ballroom. The couple has had a good life, and Papenfus credits Beatrice for being a big part of his success.
Hard work does not hurt you, and I had a good wife who took care of me, concludes Papenfus.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, such as the Internet. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it is directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security and management policies of the private network.[1] A VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, virtual tunneling protocols, or traffic encryptions.
A virtual private network connection across the Internet is similar to a wide area network (WAN) link between websites. From a user perspective, the extended network resources are accessed in the same way as resources available within the private network.[2]
VPNs allow employees to securely access their company's intranet while traveling outside the office. Similarly, VPNs securely connect geographically separated offices of an organization, creating one cohesive network. VPN technology is also used by Internet users to connect to proxy servers for the purpose of protecting personal identity and location.
Early data networks allowed VPN-style remote connectivity through dial-up modems or through leased line connections utilizing Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) virtual circuits, provisioned through a network owned and operated by telecommunication carriers. These networks are not considered true VPNs because they passively secure the data being transmitted by the creation of logical data streams.[3] They have been replaced by VPNs based on IP and IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Networks, due to significant cost-reductions and increased bandwidth[4] provided by new technologies such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)[5] and fiber-optic networks.
VPNs can be either remote-access (connecting a computer to a network) or site-to-site (connecting two networks). In a corporate setting, remote-access VPNs allow employees to access their company's intranet from home or while traveling outside the office, and site-to-site VPNs allow employees in geographically disparate offices to share one cohesive virtual network. A VPN can also be used to interconnect two similar networks over a dissimilar middle network; for example, two IPv6 networks over an IPv4 network.[6]
VPN systems may be classified by:
To prevent disclosure of private information, VPNs typically allow only authenticated remote access and make use of encryption techniques.
VPNs provide security by the use of tunneling protocols and through security procedures such as encryption. The VPN security model provides:
Secure VPN protocols include the following:
Tunnel endpoints must be authenticated before secure VPN tunnels can be established. User-created remote-access VPNs may use passwords, biometrics, two-factor authentication or other cryptographic methods. Network-to-network tunnels often use passwords or digital certificates. They permanently store the key to allow the tunnel to establish automatically, without intervention from the user.
Tunneling protocols can operate in a point-to-point network topology that would theoretically not be considered a VPN, because a VPN by definition is expected to support arbitrary and changing sets of network nodes. But since most router implementations support a software-defined tunnel interface, customer-provisioned VPNs often are simply defined tunnels running conventional routing protocols.
Depending on whether a provider-provisioned VPN (PPVPN)[clarification needed] operates in layer 2 or layer 3, the building blocks described below may be L2 only, L3 only, or combine them both. Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) functionality blurs the L2-L3 identity.[citation needed][original research?]
RFC 4026 generalized the following terms to cover L2 and L3 VPNs, but they were introduced in RFC 2547.[14] More information on the devices below can also be found in Lewis, Cisco Press.[15]
A device that is within a customer's network and not directly connected to the service provider's network. C devices are not aware of the VPN.
A device at the edge of the customer's network which provides access to the PPVPN. Sometimes it's just a demarcation point between provider and customer responsibility. Other providers allow customers to configure it.
A PE is a device, or set of devices, at the edge of the provider network which connects to customer networks through CE devices and presents the provider's view of the customer site. PEs are aware of the VPNs that connect through them, and maintain VPN state.
A P device operates inside the provider's core network and does not directly interface to any customer endpoint. It might, for example, provide routing for many provider-operated tunnels that belong to different customers' PPVPNs. While the P device is a key part of implementing PPVPNs, it is not itself VPN-aware and does not maintain VPN state. Its principal role is allowing the service provider to scale its PPVPN offerings, for example, by acting as an aggregation point for multiple PEs. P-to-P connections, in such a role, often are high-capacity optical links between major locations of providers.
This section deals with the types of VPN considered in the IETF.
A Layer 2 technique that allows for the coexistence of multiple LAN broadcast domains, interconnected via trunks using the IEEE 802.1Q trunking protocol. Other trunking protocols have been used but have become obsolete, including Inter-Switch Link (ISL), IEEE 802.10 (originally a security protocol but a subset was introduced for trunking), and ATM LAN Emulation (LANE).
Developed by IEEE, VLANs allow multiple tagged LANs to share common trunking. VLANs frequently comprise only customer-owned facilities. Whereas VPLS as described in the above section (OSI Layer 1 services) supports emulation of both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topologies, the method discussed here extends Layer 2 technologies such as 802.1d and 802.1q LAN trunking to run over transports such as Metro Ethernet.
As used in this context, a VPLS is a Layer 2 PPVPN, rather than a private line, emulating the full functionality of a traditional local area network (LAN). From a user standpoint, a VPLS makes it possible to interconnect several LAN segments over a packet-switched, or optical, provider core; a core transparent to the user, making the remote LAN segments behave as one single LAN.[16]
In a VPLS, the provider network emulates a learning bridge, which optionally may include VLAN service.
PW is similar to VPWS, but it can provide different L2 protocols at both ends. Typically, its interface is a WAN protocol such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode or Frame Relay. In contrast, when aiming to provide the appearance of a LAN contiguous between two or more locations, the Virtual Private LAN service or IPLS would be appropriate.
EtherIP (RFC 3378) is an Ethernet over IP tunneling protocol specification. EtherIP has only packet encapsulation mechanism. It has no confidentiality nor message integrity protection. EtherIP was introduced in the FreeBSD network stack [17] and the SoftEther VPN[18] server program.
A subset of VPLS, the CE devices must have L3 capabilities; the IPLS presents packets rather than frames. It may support IPv4 or IPv6.
This section discusses the main architectures for PPVPNs, one where the PE disambiguates duplicate addresses in a single routing instance, and the other, virtual router, in which the PE contains a virtual router instance per VPN. The former approach, and its variants, have gained the most attention.
One of the challenges of PPVPNs involves different customers using the same address space, especially the IPv4 private address space.[19] The provider must be able to disambiguate overlapping addresses in the multiple customers' PPVPNs.
In the method defined by RFC 2547, BGP extensions advertise routes in the IPv4 VPN address family, which are of the form of 12-byte strings, beginning with an 8-byte Route Distinguisher (RD) and ending with a 4-byte IPv4 address. RDs disambiguate otherwise duplicate addresses in the same PE.
PEs understand the topology of each VPN, which are interconnected with MPLS tunnels, either directly or via P routers. In MPLS terminology, the P routers are Label Switch Routers without awareness of VPNs.
The Virtual Router architecture,[20][21] as opposed to BGP/MPLS techniques, requires no modification to existing routing protocols such as BGP. By the provisioning of logically independent routing domains, the customer operating a VPN is completely responsible for the address space. In the various MPLS tunnels, the different PPVPNs are disambiguated by their label, but do not need routing distinguishers.
Some virtual networks may not use encryption to protect the privacy of data. While VPNs often provide security, an unencrypted overlay network does not neatly fit within the secure or trusted categorization. For example, a tunnel set up between two hosts that used Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) would in fact be a virtual private network, but neither secure nor trusted.
Native plaintext tunneling protocols include Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) when it is set up without IPsec and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE).
Trusted VPNs do not use cryptographic tunneling, and instead rely on the security of a single provider's network to protect the traffic.[22]
From the security standpoint, VPNs either trust the underlying delivery network, or must enforce security with mechanisms in the VPN itself. Unless the trusted delivery network runs among physically secure sites only, both trusted and secure models need an authentication mechanism for users to gain access to the VPN.
Mobile VPNs are used in a setting where an endpoint of the VPN is not fixed to a single IP address, but instead roams across various networks such as data networks from cellular carriers or between multiple Wi-Fi access points.[26] Mobile VPNs have been widely used in public safety, where they give law enforcement officers access to mission-critical applications, such as computer-assisted dispatch and criminal databases, while they travel between different subnets of a mobile network.[27] They are also used in field service management and by healthcare organizations,[28] among other industries.
Increasingly, mobile VPNs are being adopted by mobile professionals who need reliable connections.[28] They are used for roaming seamlessly across networks and in and out of wireless-coverage areas without losing application sessions or dropping the secure VPN session. A conventional VPN cannot survive such events because the network tunnel is disrupted, causing applications to disconnect, time out,[26] or fail, or even cause the computing device itself to crash.[28]
Instead of logically tying the endpoint of the network tunnel to the physical IP address, each tunnel is bound to a permanently associated IP address at the device. The mobile VPN software handles the necessary network authentication and maintains the network sessions in a manner transparent to the application and the user.[26] The Host Identity Protocol (HIP), under study by the Internet Engineering Task Force, is designed to support mobility of hosts by separating the role of IP addresses for host identification from their locator functionality in an IP network. With HIP a mobile host maintains its logical connections established via the host identity identifier while associating with different IP addresses when roaming between access networks.
With the increasing use of VPNs, many have started deploying VPN connectivity on routers for additional security and encryption of data transmission. Setting up VPN services on a router will allow any connected device(s) to use the VPN network while it is enabled. This also makes it easy to set up VPNs on devices that do not have native VPN clients such as Smart-TVs, Gaming Consoles etc. Provisioning VPN on the routers will also help in cost savings, network scalability and adds an additional layer of security for the network using various cryptographic techniques.
Many router manufacturers like Cisco Linksys, Asus and Netgear supply their routers with built-in VPN clients. Since these routers do not support all the major VPN protocols, such as OpenVPN, many tend to flash their routers with alternative open source firmwares such as DD-WRT, OpenWRT and Tomato which support multiple VPN protocols such as PPTP and OpenVPN.
Not every router is compatible with open source firmware which depends on the built-in flash memory and processor. Firmwares like DD-WRT require a minimum of 2 MiB flash memory and Broadcom chipsets. Setting up VPN services on a router requires a deeper knowledge of network security and careful installation. Minor misconfiguration of VPN connections can leave the network vulnerable. Performance will vary depending on the ISP and their reliability.

Or does it seem like everyone's lives seem to be falling apart? I hope that this is just a passing dark cloud. I also hope that all of you who are going through tough moments are okay and getting through it. We're all here for you. At the moment my life isn't in the total crapper but that could all change in the space of one fight or one comment so....yeah, but I've been there. I've been depressed but I usually(but not always) can pull myself out of it before it gets too bad. Music tends to help A LOT. Especially music I can relate too. If I'm in a bad mood sometimes all it takes is Family Guy, God I love that show it's exactly my kind of show sarcastic crude humour. Hehe....It's also awkward to watch with my mom as she finds it "messed up" lol. Anyways, I'm off the subject now. I just honestly hope everybody's days get better :) I truly deeply mean that :)
I do think people are less likely to post stuff when much bigger, heavier stuff is happening. But yeah, I'm all for people posting trivial thing, frivolity. We can't make this site into a dirge.
Personally, I'm doing great.
I became debt-free this week. I'm making great progress on the fourth draft of my novel. My workout/diet are going great and clothes are getting looser. My job just extended my contract through June ($$$$$). U2 has a new CD coming out. Slumdog should win best picture tomorrow.
Lots of great stuff.
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."
-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
Good job on the working out/dieting. I wish I could say I was sticking to the workout plan I set in motion a week or two ago but I'm having trouble getting motivated to go down into the kinda cold basement and work out :P
And that's awesome about the novel and making some more Moola $$$. Maybe this is YOUR year :P
And I'm glad you agree that people should be able to post frivolous things cause I'm guilty of that on many counts. Especially when nothing "interesting" is happening in my life.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things. Some shall be pardoned, some punished. Never was a story of more regret than this of Juliet and her fair Juliet.
Well, I think it's just people tend to post about negative things more anyway. If we're doing okay or reasonably smoothly in life we USUALLY won't write a post/journal about that...
So it gives the effect of making everyone seem so extremely downbuzzed, even in reality it might not be that bad.
EDIT: Uh, Jeff bet me to it... took me too long to phrase it properly lol
But yes I agree with the two of you.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things. Some shall be pardoned, some punished. Never was a story of more regret than this of Juliet and her fair Juliet.
Agreed with the fellow commenters :]
But, to be honest, it does seem like everyone is having a terrible time. And it probably is becuase they're posting about all the negative stuff, but you can't help but wonder. It's that stupid recession, isn't it?! Putting pessimistic thoughts in everybodys heads. Tut tut tut!!
"Don't mind me if I get weak in the knees, 'cause you have that affect on me."
It does seem like more people on Oasis have been going through crises lately. I've been struggling some myself — I just don't usually post about it. (I'm OK now — nobody freak!) :-)
I think I'm going to go revive the "happy thoughts" forum from last year... we need it :-)
~~~ the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses ~ e e cummings ~~~
no complants about life here
Mothers, tell your children: be quick, you must be strong. Life is full of wonder, love is never wrong. Remember how they taught you, how much of it was fear. Refuse to hand it down - the legacy stops here. ~Melissa Etheridge, "Silent Legacy," Yes I A

Restaurant Bagatelle, Oslo
Norway 0257
Tel: 47 22 12 14 40
Concierge.com's insider take:
Although it opened way back in 1932, Bagatelle remains one of Oslo's best restaurants. Its venerable history and burgundy facade belie the modern dining room within: Modern art by International artists hangs on caramel-colored walls, and art deco–inspired chairs offset tables set with linens and crystal. The cuisine leans French, but indigenous ingredients pop up all over the menu—live lobsters are imported from Kvitsøy, diver scallops are fresh from Tromsø, and lamb comes from the wild herds of western Norway. Light meals can be fashioned by making selections off the two prix-fixe menus, but go ahead and splurge on the house specialty eight-course Grand Menu.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 6 to 10 pm, mid-August through mid-December, mid-January through the week before Easter, and the week after Easter through June.

Anthony has remained a member of Mosque No. 29 since his victory over his substance-abuse problem. El-Amin says that his theological and sociopolitical differences with his son, while not a source of real tension, do generate some spirited discussions. "We get into it now and then," El-Amin allows. "Right now he's just pro-Farrakhan, instead of the Qur'an [Koran]. You can listen to a man, and take some of the man's ideas, but you've got to also check and see what God says about it."
El-Amin doesn't try to force-feed orthodox Islam to his grown son. His attitude is patient, paternalistic. "If I just come out and tell him a lot of things that are going on, he'll say I'm against Farrakhan," he says. "So I just sit and wait. Sooner or later, I know he's going to come around."
With a larger-than-life portrait of Elijah Muhammad gazing enigmatically down at him, Rasul Muhammad reflects on his memories of his father. Not what he wrote or taught, or what others taught Rasul about him, but his own personal recollections.
"My memories of my father are those of a young boy, who saw his father -- and sees his father -- as Superman," Muhammad says. "My father didn't have to be the Messenger of Allah or the leader of the Nation of Islam. My father took advantage of the time that we had together, and made me to know, as his son, that he loved me.
"As strange as it may sound, I would say this to you: As I grow older, I get to know my father better in the book of myself," Muhammad intones, using syncopated rhythms to emphasize his words. "I turn pages in my own experience in life, where I find his writing. There are traits in me I can trace directly to him, and there are things that I instinctively know, that I know he knew, and I know because he knew."
He laughs at the awkwardness of the sentence, exposing the gap between his front teeth. The thickset minister is conversing in a small conference room in Mosque No. 29, a tidy leased storefront at 5660 NW Seventh Ave., which became Miami's Nation of Islam headquarters in December 1995. Entering the mosque is not a simple matter; all nonmembers must usually undergo a search of their bags and their person, and during the thrice-weekly meetings here, neither Caucasians nor reporters are allowed. The presence of either, Muhammad explains, might be disruptive.
Today Rasul Muhammad has forgone the formality of a pat-down for his visitor, and he is outfitted much more casually than the spit-and-polish stereotype of the typical NOI man. With his oval face and extra-large Calvin Klein polo shirt, Muhammad looks far younger than his 32 years. That is, until he begins talking about the wrongs that have been done to black people in America. When he holds forth on the plight of the "mentally and spiritually dead of the human family," his broad, expressive countenance takes on a daunting gravity and maturity.
Rasul Muhammad is among the most influential ministers in the Nation of Islam, and not only because of his bloodlines. Of course, it doesn't hurt that his father was a founder of the movement in which he now serves. (His mother, known as Mother Tynnetta Muhammad, holds a lofty position in Louis Farrakhan's organization. She is referred to by members of NOI as Elijah Muhammad's wife, although the only person to whom Elijah Muhammad was ever legally married was Clara Muhammad -- and she was still wed to the patriarch at the time of Rasul's birth.)
From 1989 to 1995, Rasul served as minister of Mosque No. 1 in Detroit, birthplace of the NOI. His posting here shows how important Miami is to the NOI's leadership: Mosque No. 29 not only serves Miami, but it is also the headquarters for the Nation's newly formed Seventh Region, which includes South Florida, the Caribbean, and the rest of the hemisphere south of the Rio Grande.
Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Rasul spent most of the first twenty years of his life moving between his father's retreat in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and various U.S. cities. He speaks fluent Spanish. He and his wife Adriana currently live in West Broward; they have a sixteen-month-old daughter Jamillah and are expecting another child in December.
As Rasul Muhammad has settled in, his ministry has sought to capitalize on the momentum generated by the participation of Miami's black community in the Million Man March. Though recruitment of new members to the NOI is part of his program, he also intends to be a catalyst for change across lines of faith. "If the African-American community in this country is a sleeping giant, in Miami it's comatose," he chides.
Rasul is well known for his approachability and interpersonal skills. "Rasul tends to bring people together," says Paul Lee, a Detroit-based historian who served as a consultant for Spike Lee's film Malcolm X. "He's maybe the best diplomat the Nation of Islam has."
"The most important thing that I'd like to stress, and that's what Islam in root stresses, is the oneness of God and the oneness of humanity," Rasul Muhammad says, flexing his diplomatic muscles. "That's what the Prophet Muhammad taught. That's what Jesus taught. That's what Moses taught. That's what Abraham taught. I am very much for building bridges of understanding and communication, which would be based on a disciplined principle of accepting and learning to appreciate diversity."

Researchers Ray Withers and Yun Liu with a model of a new dielectric material.
Credit: Photo courtesy the Australian National University
Capacitor materials in electrical components aim to meet three challenges: store a high amount of energy, minimize the loss of that energy, and work across a wide range of temperatures. This triple-sided goal has eluded scientists working with dielectric materials for years. "If you have a higher dielectric constant but also a high loss, the material is basically useless because it doesn't store energy well—it's like a leaky bucket. The material would also be useless if it only performs well at a certain temperature, because it couldn't deal with normal daily temperature fluctuations. It is very difficult to achieve all three of these features," said Ray Withers, a chemistry professor at the Australian National University, in a recent press release.
Withers and his associate Yun Liu have developed a metal oxide-based dielectric material that surpasses existing capacitors in its performance, reliably storing a large amount of energy and operating between -190 and 180°C. Moreover, the researchers claim the new material is less expensive to manufacture than conventional components.
"Our material performs significantly better than existing high dielectric constant materials so it has huge potential. With further development, the material could be used in 'supercapacitors' which store enormous amounts of energy, removing current energy storage limitations and throwing the door wide open for innovation in the areas of renewable energy, electric cars, even space and defense technologies," said Liu.

Very simple add, edit, delete, display in PHP
Before I had posted an article to add, edit, delete, and display contents. I had also included sessions there. There was the facility to login and register users too.
But i got feedback that it was a bit complex for novice users of PHP (users who have just started PHPing). It was a kind of full-fledge system with PHP, MySQL and session.
So in this article, I have simplified the same functionality of the above tutorial. I have not used session in this case. If you want tutorial about session, login, and register then you can refer to my previous article (the link which is provided above).
Files included in this tutorial/code:
users.sql = This contains sql queries to make MySQL database and table
config.php = contains the database connection code (this file is included in all the php pages with the include() function)
index.php = contains the display part (displaying data from database)
add.html = contains form to add data
add.php = contains php code to add data
edit.php = contains php code to edit data
delete.php = contains php code to delete data

You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / Honolulu News Releases 2003 / City Continues Saturday Bus Service |
Mayor Jeremy Harris announced today that the City will continue its popular Saturday bus shuttle service to assist people who need to get into town for work or shopping or to get around within their community. Chinatown Gateway Plaza, at the intersection of Hotel and Bethel streets, will continue as "grand central" for most of the 16 school buses that will be providing service. The free shuttles will begin at 7 a.m. Riders are asked to be flexible as the school buses will not run on an exact schedule. Signs will be posted at the shuttle stops to aid riders. All routes will run on a circular route. Six of the routes will circle through Chinatown Gateway Plaza while the North Shore-Sunset-Kaaawa-Windward route will circle within that community.

FORUM Sep-19-2008 (870 words) xxxn
Forum looks at how media covers religion, morality in elections
By Beth Griffin
Catholic News Service
NEW YORK (CNS) -- Candidates' religious views are a legitimate interest to the electorate, but are irrelevant unless they somehow inform an opinion or approach to policy, said panelists at a forum in New York.
They also concluded that the public discussion of religious faith in a campaign should elevate the conversation, rather than distract from the issues by digressing into details of theology and personal religious practice.
The comments were made during a discussion of "Sinners and Winners -- Election '08: Religion, Morality and Media." The Sept. 16 event, attended by more than 400 people, was held at Jesuit-run Fordham University.
"Americans want a president with faith," said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center in Washington. "People want to know what candidates do or don't think about religion. 'Do they share my values?' It gives a sense of who the candidate is and is a legitimate way to size up a candidate."
E.J. Dionne Jr., a syndicated columnist with the Washington Post, said: "We want to know if a politician's religious faith is important to him, but the politician does have an obligation to explain his views in a way that can be understood."
If one is "a believing person," it is not enough "to say it's a good policy because my religion says it is," said Don Wycliff, former editor of the Chicago Tribune. "You have to talk to people in a pluralistic society and convince them on a rational basis that what you're proposing has merit."
Media covering campaigns should frame their questions to elicit responses about public policy and not theological views, said panelists.
Peggy Fletcher Stack, senior religion writer at the Salt Lake Tribune, said, "Beliefs are legitimate, but there are many theological questions that are irrelevant."
"I don't want to be asking politicians about their interior life," she said. "I want to know where it will take them, how it will bring people together and what they are going to do with their faith to help this country."
The panelists said a candidate who believed that the end times were near might approach foreign policy differently from someone who did not and if an official felt that war was a mission of God, then that would become a public question rather than a private belief.
They agreed it was immaterial whether a candidate denied evolution, unless the person tried to prevent the teaching of evolution.
They also agreed that a candidate who did not have a religious affiliation would not succeed at the national level.
Wycliff said reporters can ask how a candidate reconciles his call for spending on a particular item with his religion's position on that issue. And it is legitimate to ask if a person is "prevented by something in his or her religion from doing something that we feel needs to be done," he said.
Stack said contemporary media coverage of campaigns is marked by a tendency to closely scrutinize religions that are unfamiliar or unpopular, with questions veering toward irrelevant theological details.
Many reporters, she said, allow critics or former members to be their main sources of information about a particular faith. She added that the faith of former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a Mormon, was more often the subject of news stories than the faith of his opponents, even when such stories did not focus on policy positions.
"Rather than ask about polygamy, reporters could have asked Romney how the early Mormon experience with collective economics affected his career as a venture capitalist," she said.
Stack also suggested that reporters could ask Catholic politicians about their understanding of the late Pope John Paul II's encyclicals on work and the economy rather than focus on the church's position on abortion.
There is a difference between the public's need to know and its curiosity, which a candidate has no responsibility to slake, said Wycliff. "A lot of media coverage (of candidates' religious views) is like a trip to the zoo: 'See the crazy Mormon here! Look at the wild black pastor there!' There's no appreciation of what religion means to its adherents."
Kohut said, "Journalists are not very good tour guides when it comes to religion. Some are not religious people and are uncomfortable reporting on it."
The panelists agreed that religion reporting has improved in the past decade, but that good religion reporting remains a challenge.
Kohut said the effect of religion on voter behavior has been exaggerated in the media, but added that there is a significant overlap of religious and cultural forces in voting. Some religious groups are more cohesive than others, he said, citing white evangelical Protestants and Jews.
There is no "Catholic vote," said Kohut. "How can we take a diverse group and put brackets around them? White Catholics are a category, but it doesn't make them a voting bloc."
African-Americans are overwhelmingly evangelical, said Wycliff, but they vote as African-Americans with a clear set of interests, not as evangelicals.
The discussion was sponsored by the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture and was moderated by Ray Suarez, senior correspondent at PBS's "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer."

Thank you for pointing out that the ban includes post office parking lots. I've never seen a sign at the parking lot entrance either, just the building.
I can imagine that the rehashing gets old, but this is a pretty key yet obscure point of the Post Office ban, I am happy to learn about it.
I hope they win the law suit. It is time for the post office to wake up. How many people have to get injured or killed for something to change.

I looked today and our local Post Office has no postings at all about firearms? Is it mandatory that they be posted to be legally binding or is this one of those "you" are responsible to know the law items?

So what do you guys think, will the NRA support this move?
Walk softly ...
Good info to know about post office rules. Hopefully the lawsuit will lift the ban.
Thing is, most federal buildings that are not post offices really don't have that much interaction with the public, whereas the post office has many interactions with a large number of the public every day they are open, and during some parts of the year you pretty much have to go into a post office.
And the federal courts really don't give a crap about CCW laws the states pass. They care about federal statutes, not how much grief they cause the states.
My post office has a smallish sign, indicating firearms cannot be brought into the post office. This sign is located 15 feet or so past the door, inside the post office. Matter of fact, it's on a wall you wouldn't even look at if you are heading directly to the customer counter.
Just sayin'.
Here's a good discussion of the law and rule in question. Points out the conflict or lack of conflict, which is probably what's at the center of the lawsuit.

The only common sense gun legislation was written about 224 years ago.
I carry always not because I go places trouble is likely, but because trouble has a habit of not staying in its assigned zone.
My local PO is a leased facility in a strip-mall type place, so the parking lot is part of a big parking lot common to all the stores.
Well just wait to shoot someone in self defense in the parking lot then. Dont do it in the post office. I dont want your stray bullet taking out my Blu-Ray player I just ordered ha ha ha

Dear Janq,
While I am sure you mean well with your "we have been through this many times before" you are forgetting about new people to this or any discussion / thread. While I feel like I just went through a TSA patdown so that I could post this I figured you were a nice person and had maybe forgot that there maybe new people who had not heard about this or that. I know that talking a point into the ground is like kicking a dead horse. It might be a brand new voice just coming in on the discussion, so we need to consider that before we reply. I don't know you and I am giving you the benefit of doubt that you were not trying to belittle the person asking the already asked and answered question. We are all suppose to be like minded here, so maybe try to be a little more tolerant to the newbie's if you please.
I too have been getting emails from NAGR and have never given any money, mainly because I haven't worked since Oct. Of 2010. But I do want people working to protect our rights and I am sure it does cost money. I read one positive post on NAGR the rest were more complaining about all the emails they get. Bottomline does anyone know if one they are for real, they have had Rand Paul (I assume it is him) send me emails, so they know at least one Senator. But have they done anything. Money for everyone is hard to come by, so I don't want to waist even a dollar on just someone trying to make a Buck. Any help from anyone and that includes Mr. Janq. (Who I hope is a friend)
It would be nice if they could win this one!

Raptor (Ellis)
Because I can! ^^
Actually this mod was made merely for testing out jigglebones. As you can see I'm not much of a traditionalist with trying things out for the first time; You would think I would taken a wack at hair or boobs receiving the jigglebone treatment....WRONG, it be a tail this time!
Well Due to an idiot being on my pc, quite a few of my mod's raw materials were deleted, including my Raptor mod. So this is a completely remade from scratch just like the other.

- It has movement in the tail
- Has an FPS model
- Has an hud and icon
- Name change
- My favorite dinosaur :p
- None
Great mod overall. Has a lot of things I would recommend for a mod to have. Keep up the good work!

Great mod overall. Has a lot of things I would recommend for a mod to have. Keep up the good work!
really realistic
so fun watching you heal a team mate and it just looks like the raptor will eat you.
really well made.
no facial expressions.
over all it is a pretty epic mod. would be nice to have the other characters as raptors since raptors hunt in packs. but its a pretty amazing mod. tanks as a T-Rex and maybe some raptor sounds for when you get hurt. (first review so sorry if the suggestions are in the wrong spot).
get to be a raptor and kill all the dead humans lol XD
alll the awsome funny moments I have with my friends lol XD
jurassic park gets revenge on the humans for screwing with them lol XD
u get to have one raptor in a team and can still have other differant characters.
no facial expresions oh well XD still an awsome mod XD
over all awsomeness ^^ a great and fun mod to play with. I tell my friends about it, and also have posted screenshots of it from in my game onto my deviantart site. ^^
- It looks oddly natural standing on two feet. Well done!
- HUD and name change are nice added touches.
- It's friggin' adorable watching a raptor running around with a gun.
- Swingy tail.
- Unfortunately, the name stays "Raptor" even if you uncheck the add-on in the list.
- Too bad facial animations would be pretty much impossible, because that would have been epic.
Easily one of the funniest mods out there. If you don't crack up when a raptor on two legs starts healing you, you have no soul.
Texturing is good
I like the addition of the character selection pics, Incacipitated pic, and change of name
The fingers look strange in FPS
Overall, it's a pretty cool skin. Keep up the good work :)
There are no bugs reported for this add-on.

Building Bridges
Name: Adam Status: Student Grade: 6-8 Location: IN Country: United States Date: January 2008
How are bridges built to support the weight of cars and trains and other vehicles every day?
Hi Adam,
Your question is FAR too big to answer in the space available. To do so, I would need to write a textbook! There are many, many different types of bridges, and all use different design principles. For example, a suspension bridge is a totally different structure than a truss bridge, or a cable-stayed bridge, or a cantilever bridge, just to name a few.
You may be able to get a feel for the stresses in the common "truss bridge" by looking at this website: http://www.jhu.edu/~virtlab/bridge/truss.htm This not only shows you how the various beams are stressed 9some in tension and some in compression0, but if you click on the link at the bottom, you can try designing one yourself and see what stresses result. Lots of fun!

Bethel School District v. Fraser (1986)
A school could suspend a pupil for giving a student government nomination speech full of sexual innuendo and metaphor. "The First Amendment does not [require] school officials…to permit a vulgar and lewd speech [that] would undermine the school's basic educational mission."
The same reasoning was applied to a later case involving the free speech rights of public school students, Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988). It clarified the meaning of Tinker v. Des Moines (1969) which addressed students' rights to passive, individual expression. The decision quoted Hugo Black's dissent in Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), which asserted that the Constitution does not require "school officials to surrender control of the American public school system to public school students."
The case touched on constitutional principles including limits on rights, and civic values including moderation, respect, and responsibility.
