In this article, we report data from an online questionnaire study with 587 respondents, representative for the adult U.S. population in terms of age, gender, and level of education. The aim of this study was to assess how interest in science and knowledge as well as beliefs about science are associated with risk and benefit perceptions of nanotechnology. The findings suggest that the U.S. public is still rather unfamiliar with nanotechnology. Those who have some knowledge mainly have gotten it from TV and the Internet. The content of current media reports is perceived as fairly positive. Knowledge of scientific methods is unrelated to benefit and risk perceptions, at least when other predictors are controlled. In contrast, positive beliefs about science (e.g., its impact on economy or health) and more sophisticated epistemological beliefs about the nature of scientific knowledge are moderately linked to more positive perceptions of nanotechnology. The only exception is the perception of scientific uncertainty: This is associated with less positive evaluations. Finally, higher engagement with science is associated with higher risk perceptions. These findings show that laypersons who are engaged with science and who are aware of the inherent uncertainty of scientific evidence might perceive nanotechnology in a somewhat more differentiated way, contrary to how it is portrayed in the media today.

Nigerian fuel subsidy: Strike suspended
Nigeria's unions have suspended their strike after the president agreed to cut the cost of petrol following a week of protests.
The strike was called after prices doubled when President Goodluck Jonathan removed a fuel subsidy on 1 January.
Earlier on Monday, he announced that he would restore part of this subsidy.
Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer but it imports almost all of its refined fuel.
Correspondents say many Nigerians see cheap fuel as the only benefit they get from their country's oil wealth, much of which is pocketed by corrupt officials.
The unions said they acted to save lives, after receiving information that the security forces had been ordered to use all means to end protests. The decision came as the police and army maintained a heavy presence on the streets of most cities.
Police in the commercial capital, Lagos, fired live bullets into the air and tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters on Monday.
Army checkpoints were seen in parts of the city for the first time since the protests began a week ago.
Strike 'success'The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress told journalists in Nigeria's capital Abuja that they applauded the government's recent promise to explore corruption in the country's oil sector. They described the six-day strike as "a success".
"We are sure that no government or institution will take Nigerians for granted again," said Abdulwaheed Omar, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
The president of Nigeria's Trade Union Congress, Peter Esele, told the BBC's Focus on Africa that the unions would be prepared to consider getting rid of the subsidy "down the road," but that first they wanted to see action from the government on the country's "huge" infrastructure and energy problems.
The suspension of strikes and protests by Nigeria's unions will come as a huge relief to ordinary Nigerians, especially those who earn their living from day to day. It will also be a relief for the government of Goodluck Jonathan that faced the strongest resistance from the Nigerian public since he took charge of the country.
It is equally a relief for the international community who must have been concerned by the threat issued by the unions to shut down oil production - a threat that contributed to the surge of oil prices in the oil market.
But the most critical question is: Who won the battle between the Nigerian government and the unions representing the public? I suggest that the people have won.
Many of the critics of the subsidy are aware of the corruption associated with it - they also know that a few individuals used the subsidy to milk the Nigerian treasury and amass huge wealth.
The mass protests are not necessarily about subsidy removal, they are about the deficit of trust in government. Restoring that trust is the mountain President Jonathan now has to climb.
However, the BBC's Mark Lobel in Lagos says that while the bulk of the protesters have come from the unions, it is not yet clear whether others, who have been organising themselves through social media, will follow their call to suspend protests.
Our correspondent says this was the first test of how the government was going to transform the economy, which was a central plank of his re-election campaign last year.
The president has had to climb down but will be glad he has been able to end the crisis, our correspondent says.
In his televised address to the nation, President Jonathan said the government would "continue to pursue full deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector".
"However," he added, "given the hardships being suffered by Nigerians, and after due consideration and consultations with state governors and the leadership of the National Assembly, government has approved the reduction of the pump price of petrol to 97 naira (about $0.60) per litre."
The price of petrol had risen from 65 naira ($0.40; £0.26) to 140 naira when the subsidy was removed without warning on 1 January.
The removal of fuel subsidies - long pushed for by the IMF - was a devastating blow to the large number of Nigerians who live in absolute poverty, correspondents say.
Nigeria's fuel prices
- Previous price in petrol stations: $0.40/ litre
- Price in petrol stations after subsidy removed: $0.86
- Latest price: $0.60
- Previous black market price: $0.62
- Black market price after subsidy removed: $1.23
- Annual cost to government of subsidy: $8bn
The authorities say the subsidy was costing the equivalent of more than $8bn a year, arguing that the money would be better spent on infrastructure and social services.
However, correspondents say many Nigerians feel the money is more likely to be stolen.
Oil accounts for some 80% of Nigeria's state revenues but, after years of corruption and mismanagement, it has hardly any capacity to refine crude oil into fuel, which has to be imported.
The subsidy meant fuel was much cheaper in Nigeria than in neighbouring countries, so large amounts ended up being smuggled abroad.
The government also argues that the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy were the owners of fuel-importing companies - among the richest people in the country.

Roadrunners baseball team gets first-ever WAC win at home Thursday night
CSUB rebounds from loss, defeats New Mexico State
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Jeff McKenzie threw a complete-game four hitter and third baseman Mylz Jones extended his hitting streak to 16 games as CSUB defeated New Mexico State, 4-0, in a WAC contest Thursday night at Hardt Field.
McKenzie threw 147 pitches on his way to his sixth victory on the season as the team rebounded from a 5-4, 10-inning loss to 21st-ranked UC Irvine at home Tuesday night.
The game was scoreless until the sixth, when the Roadrunners scored three runs off the strength of an RBI triple from Tyler Shyrock, an RBI bunt single on a squeeze from Jones and a balk.
The Roadrunners final run came on a sacrifice fly from Cael Brockmeyer in the eight inning.
With the win, CSUB improved to 18-7 overall and 3-1 in WAC play. New Mexico State fell to 14-13, 1-3.
The two teams meet again in the second game of the three game series Friday night at 6pm at Hardt Field.

Whole Foods Is Your Travel Agent: Foodie-Inspired Trips with Whole Journeys
Categories: Food News
Whole Journeys |
A group of travelers enjoy dinner in Provence, France with local chef Ghyslaine Martin-Castellino. |
If you think you have what it takes to try Turkish delights in Turkey, sample the dolce vita in Italy, or sip ancient herbal teas on horseback through China, then maybe Whole Foods has just what you're looking for. It's not down any of their store isles, however. It's at the source.
For decades, Whole Foods has been known for its unique organic or all-natural goods that -- for the most part -- come from eco-conscious farms and purveyors that support responsible local and global food production. As a result, many of the foods the national chain grocer sells aren't just good for you, they also have a good story. Whether it's an artisan cheese maker from France, or a small-batch baker in Boulder, Colorado, food manufactures and their products are worth meeting face-to-face.
Also known as an "experiential travel company," Whole Journeys offers several travel packages that provide specialized, multi-day international and domestic trips for small groups of eight to 16 people. The tours are foodie-focused, inspired by the people behind the food with the idea of bringing people closer to the source of the products Whole Foods sells in its retail chain grocery stores.
The tours have been designed by Whole Journeys Executive Director Kathy Dragon, who has more than two decades worth of experience as a professional adventure and experiential travel coordinator and guide. "The goal is to engage guests with local cultures through authentic experiences," said Dragon. "That means accommodations at boutique properties, expert local guides, plenty of traditional cuisine -- all within the Whole Foods framework of responsible tourism."
Expect regional cuisine and the culture of food to be the basis of the entire experience, where travelers come face-to-face with the small, artisan producers of specialty products and foods. Depending on the travel destination, tours also offer plenty of exercise, be it walking, biking, hiking or horseback. Boating trips are in the works, and anyone is welcome -- couples or those traveling solo.
Whole Journeys will offer a variety of travel itineraries around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as the U.S. Most are priced around $3,000 to $4,500 per person, and include things like transportation, travel accommodations, most meals and entry to special events and museums. There are also customizable options that let travel groups design a trip around specific details like a departure date, accommodations and focus, be it more on wine, food or other interests.
"The trips I've designed allow for authentic experiences involving rich cultural connections," said Dragon. "I believe why we travel, where we travel, what we do while we are there and when we return home, can effect positive change in the world."
For more information go to the Whole Journeys Facebook page and website, or call 1-888-833-6177.

The Longacre Family Home PageUpdated November 2, 2003 | |
The Longacre family arrived in Chester County and Delaware County, Pennsylvania from Sweden in 1643 on the "Kalmer Nyckel". The most notable Longacre is James Barton Longacre, an engraver with the Philadelphia Mint. It was his design that was used on the Indian Head Penny. Some of the Longacre's moved to South Jersey (my heritage), while others moved to Frederick County, Va. and Johnson County, MO. I am trying to tie up some loose ends so I need your help. There is another Longacre family who also settled in Chester County, Pa. They were from Switzerland and their ancestors start with Daniel and Ulrich Longacre. My Swedish Longacre's are no way connected to Daniel and Ulrich Longacre. A new Patriot for the DAR - Andrew Longacre (b. 9 Jan 1755 in Philadelphia, Pa; d. 20 Jun 1825 in Philadelphia, Pa.).

Nuclear power is the only realistic way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
Follow New Zealand. They're
Follow New Zealand. They're not using nuclear and why shouldn't any other country? They use renewable sources for about 63% of total energy output.
With the discovery of sea
With the discovery of sea water as a combustible product using simple radio waves, I think fossal fuels are on their way out. Go to Youtube and look up burning sea water if you haven't observed this yet. Apparently the correct radio wave frequency releases the hydrogen and appears to be clean burning. This appears to offer less risk than nuclear power, and talk about cheap.....
Cell Disorder, because of
Cell Disorder, because of Nuclear waste
I have seen the documentary called " Blowing in the Wind". It describe about
the nuclear waste. How nuclear waste can effect people and what type of disease people can get. People know what happening in Iraq.When the atomic bomb( Fat Man ) explode in Hiroshima what was happened to next generation.
I've seen the "Blowing in
I've seen the "Blowing in the Wind" documentary also Kanayde....did a good job at explaining the some of the hazards of nucleur waste. For those interested, this page [url=http://www.abc.net.au/atthemovies/txt/s1489013.htm]here[/url] gives a brief synopsis of this documentary if you want to see it for yourself.
I'd just like to point out
I'd just like to point out that if you take it all the way back to the sun then technically all energy is nuclear. Some are stored, such as fossil fuels, wood etc., some are direct, such as solar, and some are caused by heat from the sun changing air pressure, such as wind power. Tidal power is also a possibility which is caused by the moon which primarily came from the original nuclear reaction known as the big bang.
Existence is just a nuclear reaction.
although it may reduce carbon emissions, only a handful of nuclear waste takes five hundresd billion years to disapear compleatly so realy u will never get rid of completly.
I agree that there are other
I agree that there are other options that are available. However, the resources that are required for many of these are astounding. The size of a solar panel field that would provide the same amount of energy that a 1000 MW Nuclear Power Plant does would take up 33-127 square miles. While a wind field would have to be 300 square miles to have the same output.
The rest of the world has realized what a reliable source of energy Nuclear Power is. There are 24 plants being built in Asia right now and France uses Nuclear Power to provide 80% of their energy. There are many misconceptions that people have about the dangers that are related to Nuclear Power. For example, the burning of coal actually supplies the public with more radiation than Nuclear Power Plants. This is due to the Uranium content in coal. Check out any of these websites to see where Nuclear Power is heading. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
exactly ! the nuclear power
exactly ! the nuclear power is the best source of energy that will not emit any carbondioxide. but there is a danger that the potential hazardous radio waste. we have to design means for the safety disposal of the radioactive waste. without that this is of no use as the carbondioxide levels are not much hazardous than the radioactive waste.

Yolanda Theatre
Main Street & Commercial Street,
Eagle Pass,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 3 comments
The theater in question was named after Sam Swartz wife who was Yolanda Swartz. Also owners of the famous and beautiful Aztec Theater.
The Yolanda Theater was located on Main street, in front of the Riskinds store, next to the Queen Cafe. It showed mostly spanish movies. My parents tell me that during the depression, kids could get in for a safety pin or some small article. When I was growing up in the 50's it cost .15 cents. Unlike the Aztec which cost .25 cents.
Main Street & Commercial Street
The address of 137 E. Main Street on the Map puts it down the hill from the theater. The new address will map properly.
Need photos.

HELP!!!!!!do japanese hornets swarm??????
holy smokes...last night i openned the door to let the dog in and about 15 of the big brutes flew in.after dispatching the buggers i noticed 100 or more smacking against the window by a table light. what's the deal? do i have to look for a nest...are they trying to get into the house to nest?? i have a few buz us when in the pool and they seem pretty laid back...non agressive so i live and let live. But so many are a little much.
I had never heard of such a beast so I googled it. It turns out that there's only one type of hornet found in the US (if the site I read is correct), and it is often mistakenly called the Japanese hornet. The correct name, the site says, is the European hornet, or Vespa crabro. You may want to keep that in mind if you try to look up the behavior of the animal you have. (I did see where *Japanese* hornets have been killing 20 to 40 people every year in Japan!)
Here's the site I found if you want to compare pictures with what you have: http://www.vespa-crabro.de/hornets.htm
Good luck.
Thanks for the link....
Although the claim of "gentle giants" for hornets is NEVER going to sit well with me after personal experience with two attacks.
The first was when I was a camp counselor (many years ago...1979) and we were taking 72 third thru fifth graders on a hike. I had the back of the line along the forest trail. The kids were told to stay on the trail, but of course a few had to jump off to run around and pass the others. Near the back of the line one boy stepped out and into a nest of hornets, which boiled up his legs inside his jeans. I was the one that grabbed him up, ran down the hill carrying him to the camp for medical treatment while simultaneously getting his jeans off to get rid of the trapped hornets. We were both repeatedly stung, he was hospitalized. It was awful.
About 6 years back while removing rotted wood with a shovel (relocating a woodpile) I shovelled into a hornet nest, and was stung 3 times before I could run off. Its pretty terrifying to have those big suckers boil out buzzing like a prop plane, and the sting is pure fire. I'm just plain lucky that I am not allergic.
So, I wouldn't be wishing a hornet nest in my yard. Its true that both of these attacks involved the inadvertant disturbing of the nest...but who even knew the nests were there? It wasn't like they were obvious. A big group of hornets batting against your door probably means that the swarm is in the process of relocating along the edge of your house in a loose board or under the deck or foundation edge of the house. I'd certainly be scouting around with a LOOOOOOOOOOONG pole and several cans of that 30-foot hornet spray to be sure that I didn't have a nest along the house. They will certainly go for you if they are protecting their nest or queen.
I don't agree with that article about them only stinging for a reason. Just thursday I was walking down a path, no flowers or anything near, and a hornet landed on my thumb. I am not scared of hornets so I just kept my thumb still till it flew off. I have been stung a few times this summer and I never feel the actual sting but when I take a shower later, that's when I feel the burn. Well, when I went inside and washed my hands there was the burn from that hornets sting. I did nothing to disturb this hornet, it stung me for no reason. I still won't spray to kill them because they do a lot of good in the garden.
This thread has made my skin crawl. . .A SWARM of those things??? I garden organically, but I would not hesitate to spray a hornet right off the planet if necessary. Must have had something to do with getting stung on the lip as a small child (by a wasp actually). If the stinging things are flying around the flowers in the garden, I let them be and they let me be. But I'm VERY cautious walking around the property in the summer. Between the threat of yellow jackets and hornets, I don't want to take any chances of getting stung.
Last year I was entertaining the thought of taking down an old tree trunk, about 4 feet high and hollow. Thank the Good Lord, I saw a hornet flying out from it BEFORE I got close enough to do any real harm, or be in any real harm! That could have been horrific - I'd probably have a heart attack from fright if I saw a SWARM of those things coming at me! And I'll be very careful around old wood piles too, after reading this.
I bet what you have is called 'cicada killers'. We have them swarm here, too. They especially love it near the pool. It looks like an airport. They are non-aggressive towards human.
The japanese hornets earlier mentioned is a HUGE monster. I saw a special on tv about them. You'd know it if you run into one. From the ones we saw on tv, they have to be bigger than my fist!!!!
The fellows you have are no small suckers either. But they lay their eggs in the tunnels of cicadas. When their young is borne, they eat the cicada larvae.
Now, the real kicker is... if you got them, you must have cicadas. If so then next you will see the "cow killer ant". He's a HUGE mosnter with bright orange and black velvety looking coat. You can't miss him either. They don't bother humans either, however, if you step on one in your bare feet, they will bite you. They are actually wasps and they are after the cicada killers! A whole food chain!
I did my homework last year when I saw several cow killer ants. I have horses and dogs and was concered for their well being. They don't kill cows but their bite is said to hurt bad enough to kill a cow. I called the county extension office and they said not to worry about them, that the winter would be here and they'd all go away. Not much help now, I know.
Just beware where you are walking in your barefeet and keep a lookout for the cow killer ants.
The cow killer ant info can be found and this address or google it:
Be careful!
Here is a link that might be useful: Cicada killer
Actually, the cicada killer wasps don't swarm. Ever. They are solitary wasps, and do not build communal nests. As a matter of fact, they probably compete against each other.
Those Velvet ants (cow killers) predate on the larvae of all kinds of ground dwelling insects, but usually the solitary wasps (of which there are many species). Bumblebee nests may become prey to these devilish insects, too.
It is fairly certain that the insect in question is the European wasp.
this was definately a swarm as they about covered the window.funny that they would be out and about at night?i have been attacked by the black shiny hornet ..they were making a paper nest under the wooden rocking horse on the porch. i have been attacked by ground nesting yellow jackets more than once...we were farmers.i followed kates link and i am sure i have vespa crabro. i plan to scout the area for a nest but it says they like trees...we sit in the middle of a woodland so don't feel they will bother the house. must be the warmth of the porch lights attracted them. THANKS for all the imput...this is a great web site
They are known for flying at night. They are also attracted to light. I have been walking and had them fly into my lantern. I would say you have a nest near by and the light comming from the window is attracting them. If you find the nest destroy it after dark and set up a flashlight pointed at the nest so they will attack it instead of you.
Hello neighbors. I was doing a search on hornet nest removal and found a link to GW and since I'm already a member I thought I would visit.
We're just across the NC border in VA.
Now, two years ago, we had a hornet problem. The suckers took to making a nest in the eves of an out building where we store our feed.
They were eating my pears and diving at us when we were outside.
I've noticed they are attracted to red and orange clothing. Don't seem to notice blues or blacks.
That year, we borrowed an antique bug zapper that had a larger grid in it than todays.
We hung it about 10 feet from their nest/our outbuilding in an area that the light was pretty much only seen directly in front of the eaves. Low and behold, we had what were supposed to be 2" long European hornets flying around. Only there were some of them that were 4" or more inches long!!! Oh, we freaked and ran for the house. They weren't attacking us, but the sheer size was like a horror movie.
After about a month of this it seemed like things calmed down a bit. The numbers weren't so great. Although they ate most of my pears, I actually found that if I went out during a downpoor, I could collect the pears in the rain, but as soon as it started letting up they would be back.
The following year, I didn't see them at all. I thought, well that article must have been correct.
This year they came back with a vengance and we don't have the money to hire a professional. They've been determined to get into our house. Hubby has killed about 20 or so this year in the living room.
Now, the outbuilding doesn't have a door. We're still working on fixing this place up. I went out to feed my rabbits about seven o'clock this evening and Wow, those suckers have eaten clear through the ceiling panels/drywall and now have at least two entrances. One outside in the eaves and now one inside right in front of the garbage cans where the feed is. I can't feed my rabbits tonight and I don't know what I am going to do.
Hubby isn't afraid of them and I'm allergic to bees so I stay away from all stinging insects.
If we can't do something this year to get rid of their nest, we are going to have to burn down the outbuilding.
But, if 15 flew into the house at one time, I'd definitely check and make sure they weren't building a nest in the eaves of your house! They will eventually chew through the ceiling and insulation and come on in!
checking out the pics on the vespa c and the cicada killer makes me sure it was the vespa.(last year was the cidada year..pool filter full of cicadas ) i checked under the porch and deck ...no nest. the link said once they swarm they settle down for awhile...they were only around the house one night. so as long as they nest far out in the woodland i will live and let live. as i said they are not at all agressive when they do flybys at the pool...big devils make ya duck!

NPR Check blogger mytwords has taken the time (8/4/09) to closely "consider [Scott] Horsley's verbal sleight of hand" on National Public Radio's August 4 Morning Edition:
He equates a completely false distortion–characterizing the tepid Democratic health reform proposals as "government-run healthcare" in opposition to "the free market"–with a completely fact-based statement–"we have a system today that works well for the insurance industry but it doesn't work well for you [the public]." Yes, the system works well (insurance profits more than quadrupled from 2000 to 2007) but not for the public, which pays more for less and suffers about 22,000 deaths a year from the insurance industry's commitment to not covering people. How could anyone cast them as the villain?
Having set up this falsehood, Horsley turns to health insurance industry vampire representative, Karen Ignani (no stranger at at NPR–see March 7, 2009 and June 13, 2009), so she can claim how wrong Obama's statement is because the mob her industry supports "reforms."
But that's not all–"Horsley ends this report with a bit of moralizing against the Democrats, noting that 'Brookings scholar [Stephen] Hess thinks it's unfortunate the Democrats have chosen to demonize health insurance companies.'" Leading mytwords to ponder: "Demonizing the health insurance companies, now why would anyone do that?"

Ross can! Rosssssss can! Ross can get me the tickets! Somebody call the Police, because Terrence Ross is on fire! Or, ummm, do we call the Mounties? I plain just don't know… But if anyone (aherm, me) had to feel the Sting of that 51-point outburst against them – out of so left field from Ross that it was out of the Pacific Ocean – then you're certainly sending a message in a bottle to the fantasy gods asking "Whyyyyyy?!" 51/9/1/1/0 shooting 16-29 and hitting 10 Harvey's Trays. "What's with the sit-com references today JB?!" Yeah, no one will get that last one… Sit-coms are always fun, light, and don't end on Sunday nights with me throwing things. "Enough about you, JB!" Damn, commenters are angry this morning! DeMar DeRozan sprained his foot in that game, and while Ross was already hot, no DeRozan helped him get hotter. "Hansel is so hot right now." DeRozan looks like he'll miss at least a few games – already not traveling tonight – making Ross a must-own for this week and the immediate future. The Raptors are all the sudden with 18 less shots a game (no, that's not me throwing out an arbitrary number, that's really DeRozan's FGA a game!) so this is a great opportunity for Jonas Valaciunas as well to go on a solid run. Will be an interesting game tonight at Brooklyn to see how the two younguns perform. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in NBA action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Phil Pressey
Last night was a doozy. Flummoxing. I actually had to look up flummoxing to be sure it worked. And it does! But there are numerous things that aren't working for the Kings, mainly Rudy Gay's Achilles and DeMarcus Cousins' ankle. Gay actually wasn't "Leon" down in pain like DeMarcus after DMC fully rolled his ankle, but neither sounds like any sort of fun. With Cousins, the diagnosis is a "moderate sprain" and I gotta say, a big near 300-pounder putting all his weight on an ankle the turns 90 degrees the wrong way doesn't sound moderate. Moderate maybe in the sense that the dude in 127 hours only had to "moderately" scratch his arm to get free! I'd expect at least a few weeks. But, "I'm not a doctor, I'm a pool man!" Then there's Gay's Achilles which you could see in his face he was in bad pain and exited pretty quick, albeit under his own power. We all saw Kobe Bryant limp off under his own power with the torn Achilles, so this one is definitely a hold-your-breath injury. The obvious immediate add in most formats is Derrick Williams, who I kinda disregarded when he was acquired, but now is in a "you-better-be-able-to-score-a-lot-because-we'll-need-it" starting role. Solid 22/11/1 with three treys last night in 40 minutes of duty. Just added him in one league for the ice cold Terrence Ross for example. Ross is like, "hey don't blame me, it's this effin' weather!" Yes – I narrate my fantasy teams. Someday soon I hope to put on a finger puppet show. Here's what else I saw last night in a wild evening of fantasy action:
Please, blog, may I have some more?In case you missed it (and let's face it, who's watching Bobcats games?), Kemba Walker had a scary ankle roll Saturday night and will miss 10-14 days. He's gonna need a walker for a while after that! Cricket cricket, cricket cricket. "That's not funny JB, it's just cruel…" So what if I have Cruel Intentions?! Now I wanna make out with Selma Blair… So what if I'm not Sarah MG (I didn't even want to bother Googling that be sure I had it spelled right…)?! This is way off the rails… Back to Walker, he's a guy that relies on speed and explosiveness, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the full two weeks and even more. Cue the Ramon Sessions puns! As a North Carolinian, I guess I am more a Hornets Bobcats fan than any other team, so I may be biased, but I like Sessions and think he can be a decent stream the next two weeks in 12-teamers that need a desperate solid starter. He's an emergency Sessions! Hey that's the title! In 38 minutes against the Heat, Ramon went 16/3/5 shooting 6-10 and 4-4 from the stripe. The 5 TOs are no fun, he does turn the ball over a tad too much, but I think the underrated aspect of his game is he constantly gets to the stripe and shoots good FT%. He's at 3.4 makes a game at 79% this year, after being at 83% the previous two seasons. And last year when he was at 27 minutes a game (22 per thus far in 13-14), he hit 4.8 FTs a game. He'll easily get low-to-mid 30 minutes per contest while Walker, Texas Ranger is out, so if you need some scoring, dimes, and that sweet boost of FT shooting in a tough matchup this week or next, or to pad those stats in roto, Sessions is in sess… Eh, well you get it… Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy basketball:
No no no, that's not some sort of euphemism for not flushing… Victor Oladipo had a unreal game last night, almost giving the Magic enough to beat the Bulls in tres overtime. I watched this game and was making all sorts of Oladipo highlights slashing to the rim. Ended up with a 35/4/8/3/1 line shooting 15-24 with a trey. Career-high alert! And it wasn't due to the minutes (58), he only scored 2 in the 3 OTs I believe. Did boost his dimes by a few though… A guy I was extremely steadfast about holding onto and buying low is paying out your quarterly dividends. Well, it would be more like bi-weekly dividends, but if a stock did that I want in! The 8 TOs last night was a bugaboo, but just part of VO's game. He's going to continue to get these big minutes and touches for the duration. Pumped to see him finish out his rookie of the year campaign. Here's what else I saw in a busy night of NBA hoops:
Please, blog, may I have some more?

My God! Actually I was online that time, responding to some messages and submitting some of my works to the groups when I noticed the unusual coming of new comments for that particular stamp (I didn't submit it to the groups that day).

There is something about many rescue dogs that is special, a gratitude that leads them to do amazing things.
Take Scout, for instance.
The pit bull mix was adopted around five years ago, and like many dogs took awhile to adjust to his new life.
Once he did, however, Scout revealed an unusual talent: He can balance just about anything on his head.
We're talking cheese wheels, board games, cupcakes, paint cans, you name it he can balance it.
One of the things his owner says is key is never allowing Scout to eat the stuff that's been on his head, otherwise it would destroy his concentration.
Scout's owner even has a website dedicated to pictures of the amazing balancing dog.

Preferential policies to stimulate the auto market preferential policies for some said, should adhere to when enough is enough
continued to hit the domestic automobile market, such as halved the vehicle purchase tax preferential policies on whether to continue,isabel marant boots, many people hold a different view. ,isabel marant bottes, this allows a more prosperous auto market, some say, to stimulate car consumption, the effect has been reached, when enough is enough and will not affect the development of the automobile market. relatively
,isabel marant boots, I agree with the latter.
proposed cancellation or reduce the preferential measures,isabelle marant, an important reason is for the domestic auto market boom resulting from the worries of some of the serious consequences,isabel marant 2012, although the automobile market turn for the better good for the domestic economy, favorable to the production enterprises, but this unprecedented prosperity,isabel marant, suspicious, or even unhealthy . if countries look at the numbers alone, we should be grateful for the timely introduction of incentives aimed at stimulating consumption, compared with foreign countries, showing that our decision-making is wise,isabel marant 2012, but hidden under the appearance of the automobile market in the excessive growth of a little uneasy, such as manufacturers over the pursuit of sales and not to attach importance to the development of new technologies, such as overdraft car of the future consumption, such as caused by the proliferation of social disharmony and instability, etc., this high growth is apparently accompanied by the cost of foreign auto market in
downturn, international auto giants realized, we must change the status quo, especially to change the past, future-oriented way to find a new mode of production and marketing, research and development of new requirements of the times automotive products. Undoubtedly, this is an improvement, but for China, the status quo, over utilitarian car makers lost the momentum of scientific development can be said that compared with foreigners, we are still backward, and now moisture days accounted for the advantage of the location, once the loss of this advantage,isabel marant chaussures, China's auto companies will once again fall into the abyss is difficult to turn around.
or those preferential policies, such as halved the vehicle purchase tax, it was merely a primer to trigger the consumption contribution is great, but with the growing automobile consumption, the purchase tax has played little role, it no longer has a pulling effect, because we see not only 1.6L displacement models hot sales, other large displacement of the rapid growth, such as SUV, a feasible default,isabel marant bottes, abolition of purchase tax preferential policies for next year, the automobile market will continue to escape because it is mainly due to the improvement of the domestic economic situation,isabel marant boots, but not all the credit of the local individual policies.
cancel the purchase tax, many people may be unhappy,isabel marant chaussures, because a lot of people do not buy a car, to retain this policy can be enjoyed in the future. In fact, you are wrong. halved the purchase tax The policy in fact did not bring much benefits to the consumer, because the hot auto market for the domestic automobile market bullish, the car itself offers smaller, or even no concession at all, unlike the past few years is easily tens of thousands of discount District of $ 5,000 purchase tax concessions is difficult to compensate for the preferential past. buy sell fine. cheap purchase tax incentives to car manufacturers, not consumers. consumers actually eat at a disadvantage more appalling is that,isabel marant bottes, now you want to buy the best-selling models,isabel marant chaussures, but also to wait indefinitely. Of course, this is understandable, because the state has adopted policies in order to stimulate consumption and to save the business, stimulating economic development, the basic approach is to allow consumers to dig money for business,isabel marant baskets, industry development, rather than to the citizens that.
the U.S. used car voucher scheme has been criticized because a lot of problems in practice, of course we seem to not have to worry about this , but this stimulation is also very unfavorable factors associated increased dramatically, even worse view of the domestic economic situation improves,isabel marant chaussures, now canceled concessions for car consumption is feasible. After all, the excessive growth is not a good thing, we have to face the future,isabel marant 2012, rather than overdraft tomorrow.

A 1971 Range Rover belonging to Lotus design guru Colin Chapman is being offered for sale for £49,500. The series one model, finished in Bahama Gold, has covered 41,000 miles and comes with a comprehensive history file detailing its adventures of the last 30 years.
The car was supplied directly to Colin Chapman in 1979, where it stayed for five years before ownership was transferred to Lotus Cars Ltd – another illustrious name on the logbook. A year later the car moved to the care of Colin's wife, Hazel of Hethel Properties Ltd and eventually was transferred to her head gardener, David Adams.
After passing through a few more hands, the car was purchased by Kingsley Cars, of Witney, who undertook a gentle restoration of the car. As well as being put back to its original specification, the paint was refreshed along with the sills and inner and outer wings. The brake system was fully refurbished including the replacement of all lines, bearings and discs. At the same time the transfer box was rebuilt with LSE cogs, to improve fuel economy on longer journeys. Owner of Kingsley Cars, Damon Orloff told CCW: "The car has a super history, so we just had to bring the car back to its former glory. Its now in immaculate original condition and ready for a collector to enjoy."

Infectious Diseases
Region: Africa and North, Central, and South America
These studies investigate the link between biodiversity and immunological disease. Coevolution is thought to maintain geneticdiversity in pathogen and host populations, and to contribute to the complexity of the immune system. Indeed, high levels of genetic variation have been found in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a highly polymorphic gene system associated with immunity in a variety of vertebrates. High levels of heterozygosity at MHC loci can be associated with higher levels of parasite and disease resistance. Empirical evidence for an association between MHC variation and pathogen prevalence is needed across a wide range of ecological and demographic conditions. This study will attempt to correlate the extent of genetic diversity in MHC loci with parasite prevalence in free living, natural populations of rainforest birds that vary in population size and degree of geographic isolation.

Lacey Banghard is worried she'll drown while in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
The Page 3 model - who, along with 11 other famous faces, made their first appearances on the Channel 5 show last night (03.01.13) - told her fellow housemates how she thinks she may drown while having a bath because she's so small so has requested someone accompany her whenever she goes for a dip.
Last night, Lacey was chosen by fellow contestants Frankie Dettori and Rylan Clark to enter the luxury upstairs part of the house rather than the dreaded basement and she is currently joined in there by Tricia Penrose, Claire Richards and Gillian Taylforth.
While they are living a life of luxury, they did experience some hard times as Big Brother ignored their request to have their pyjamas, so Lacey, worried about her vintage see-through skirt and top shrinking, took matters into her own hands and stripped to her underpants for the rest of the evening.
Meanwhile, the basement occupiers - Ryan Maloney, Paula Hamilton, Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, Sam Robertson, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag - were told food would not be supplied by Big Brother apart from scraps dropped down a chute, which they then have to root through to find edible items.
Despite being sent to the basement, Ryan, Paula, Neil and Sam all seemed to bond while US married couple Heidi and Spencer spent most of their time on their makeshift bed, practicing their British accents.

It's been, "mom,mom,mom,mom,mom,science fair project,mom,mom,I need…,mom,permission slip,hungry,mom,mom,where's my…, mom,it's due tomorrow!"
Today, I thought, would be a day of catching up, cleaning up, packing up for the spring break trip to Tennessee we're leaving for on (yikes!) Saturday morning, and packing up as well for moving to our new house, our new life, shortly after our return. I thought today I'd do something productive – productive as I am tempted to always define productive: creating order out of dishevelment. But when your thirteen-year-old son calls from school to actually request your presence on an eight hour field trip with his drama class to a play in downtown Chicago, you drop all those best laid plans, strap on your walking sandals and leave the house "as is."
I'm off on an adventure I hadn't seen coming – and working on wrapping my mind around it, sinking into it, allowing it to enter like an unexpected guest bearing sweet memories and perspective.
This is living.

SE Electronics GM10 is a condenser recording microphone with a difference. SE Electronics GM10 is a microphone designed specifically for recording acoustic guitars. GM10 is a unique new addition to the SE range of microphones.
SE GM10 is designed to solve the age old problem associated with recording acoustic guitars. Wherein there is always a trade off between the need to stay still in front of the microphone to avoid changes in the sound of the instrument as it's recorded, and the need for the performer to get an 'emotional' take. The two requirements generally don't sit to well and often leads to recordings sounding too clinical and lacking the performance element that often makes a song.
The SE Electronics GM10 incorporates the world's smallest gold sputtered mylar capsule at 17.1mm, along with a proprietary shock mount assembly built into the capsule head. A universal clamping system enables the user to fix the mic in place (on any flat backed acoustic guitar) so the condenser capsule is perfectly placed to record take after take from exactly the same position.
The clamping mechanism and shock mount on the SE GM10 ensures that there is zero mechanical noise transferred through the guitar body. This allows the player to capture a perfect recording every time, while still being able to move around freely, which encourages the performer to give their best on a take.
The SE GM10 guitar mic really does transform recorded performances of acoustic guitar, and the way you work in the studio.

The Hermitage
The Mahantongo Heritage Center
Where the earth and the spirit unite
When we bought the land in 1988, only the barn was here. We lived in it for nearly two years while we moved an early pioneer settler's cabin to the property and rebuilt it as the First House.
That first winter was miserably cold and we only had a kerosene heater which absolutely failed to keep us warm. We ended up moving our 11-foot camper trailer into the barn and living in it during the coldest months. Needless to say there was no electricity, no running water, no plumbing and little of anything else. That was by necessity. But we kept it that way for years as we built the community by moving other buildings onto the property, either in pieces or intact, and redesigning them.
Our goal was to recreate an eighteenth-century community of single brothers that was located north of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We had moved to Bethlehem from Salt Lake City where we met in college. We came to Pennsylvania to buy a farm. But Bethlehem had originally been a religious community and we wanted to have our own spiritual family of brothers.
Our model was a community called Christiansbrunn, the Spring of Christian, named for the leader of the brotherhood. Ironically he never came to Pennsylvania, being born in Germany and dying in London at the age of 24. However his brothers believe Christian's spirit lived again in the waters of what became a sacred spring. By drinking the water, they believed, one was entered by the spirit of Christian. That spring still exists.
"The Peaceable Kingdom" by Quaker artist Edward Hicks. Public domain.
This set us on fire. It was the union of the physical and the spiritual which we had been seeking for years. The idea was by living the life of those early brothers, that the brotherhood would live again. Yet we found that we were not suited to communal life but to the isolated life of hermits, which each brother living in his own house.
Now our master plan in completed with more than two dozen structures on the property, including craft houses, a community house and the Mahantongo Heritage Center.
Our own lives have changed as we have created a family not solely of humans but a broader ideal of living with the birds and animals that inhabit the Hermitage. William Penn's vision of an earthly paradise garden where humans and animals live in peace continues to guide us.
We have come to realize that all are one and one is all. However it is easier to say than to live.
As Harmonists, our goal is to live in harmony with the spirit and the earth at every moment. Such an elusive goal! And, like all powerful ideals, one that is difficult to attain. The times when we are most successful is when we don't even try.

USA Today's front-page headline (5/31/13):
Churches Sever Scout Sponsorship
The online headline, over Bob Smietana's piece on the reaction of church groups that sponsor Boy Scout troops to the Scouts' announced plan to accept gay Scouts was longer but no less sweeping:
Religious Regretfully Sever Scout Sponsorships
That's bad news for the Scouts, since as the article points out, "about 70 percent of Scout troops are chartered by a faith-based group." Must be tough, losing seven out of 10 sponsors all at once.
Except the article doesn't report what the headlines claim at all. The article quotes one church leader, of Roswell Street Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia, who says he's going to stop sponsoring a Scout troop. Then it says:
Roswell Street is one of the first churches to cut ties with the Scouts over the new policy. Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, a 23,000-member megachurch, has also announced plans to shut down its troop. Other critics of the new policy, which doesn't take effect until January 2014, are taking a wait-and-see approach.
So: "Two Churches Sever Scout Sponsorship" would be a more accurate headline.
The piece actually quotes more people who are happy with the change, or are willing to go along with it. A Catholic bishop says the Scouts' new policy, which accepts the participation of gay Boy Scouts (but not Scout leaders), "is not inconsistent with church teaching, which upholds the dignity of each and every human being, regardless of sexual orientation."
A minister from the United Church of Christ says that breaking with the Scouts over the new policy "sends a terrible message to youth of any sexual orientation."
The executive director of Members of the Churches of Christ for Scouting disagrees with the policy change, but says churches should "not take their ball and go home."
Given that most people in the United States are religious in one way or another, it's unsurprising that religious reactions to the Boy Scouts' change in policy are as broad as the reactions of the country as a whole: Some are outraged, some are enthusiastic, some are ambivalent. (I'll bet you could find religious leaders who wish the change had gone further and ended discrimination against adult leaders who are gay as well.)
But too often in corporate media, "churches" means the most conservative churches and "religious" means the most reactionary forms of religion. Thus the subhead of the print version of the story is a quote, "'We are not willing to compromise God's word'"–attributed to no one, as though it's…the word of God.
The fact is that many people dispute the idea that the Bible says homosexuality is a sin–or urges believers to shun sinners. Those people don't get a subhead on the front-page of USA Today.
FOOTNOTE: That link on "dispute" goes to a fascinating document by Mel White, a former ghostwriter for Jerry Falwell who became an advocate for a more inclusive Christianity after coming out of the closet. He points out that many passages in the Bible don't say what homophobic Christians want them to say. For example, what was the sin that got Sodom destroyed? Sodomy, right? Not according to Ezekiel (16:48-49): "This is the sin of Sodom; she and her suburbs had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not help or encourage the poor and needy. They were arrogant and this was abominable in God's eyes."
