I realize your post is from ages ago, but if you still montor this thread I wonder if you decided to home school? I am in the early stages of looking into it, and wondered if there is much support in the Manchester area.
Hi! Yes we are still planning on homeschooling, my son is 5, so we will start a kindergarden-ish curriculum this summer/fall. My daughter is 3, so we are mostly working on letters and numbers with her, art & music. Are you in the Manchester area too? Sorry to say, I have not found any local homeschooling group, though there so seem to be some families homeschooling around here, there just doesn't seem to be any co-op or gathering or organized 'group'. I would love to get together with other families considering, or already homeschooling...talk about curriculum and plans, and maybe have some social and playtime for the kids! Feel free to email me at [email protected]
thanks, Lisa
I have a soon to be 3 year old and am interested!
I just started homeschooling my son he is in 2nd grade. I also have 2 other kids, a 1 year old and a 9 year old (she attends normal school). Anyone on the Arlington, VT area looking for a homeschool play group or maybe homeschool group field trips?
Yes! I would love to connect with other area homeschoolers (we are in manchester) We just started our first year of homeschooling, K/1st grade....feel free to email me! [email protected] -lisa

drilling through a glass brick
How hard is it to drill a 5/8" hole in the bottom of a glass block? Can I use my regular drill or do I need a drill press? Also, what tips do you have while drilling? One thing I heard was to immerse the block in water while drilling but obviously don't let the drill get in the water.
Hi There! Welcome aboard the forum! What is your project gonna be? I have even used my tile saw to cut a hole in the glass blocks. Thus it has had water involved as water saves the glass drill bit/saw blade.
You need a drill bit for glass for your regular drill. It's a slow process, and you can put water on your little bit as you're slowly letting it do its thing. I've seen instructions that tell you to start w/a small hole first, then enlarging slowly, so you might need two or three drill bits.
I drill glass block and bottles to insert LED Christmas lights. Regular steel or carbide bits just chip the glass and break it. But it's a very simple task with a good diamond drill bit and some basic instructions.
With a good diamond drill bit and the right techniques it takes about a minute per hole. I've drilled hundreds and never broken one...

State's avocado commission wants access to Mexico
As a debate rages over whether Mexican avocado growers should be allowed to sell their fruit throughout the United States year-round, California growers are pushing in the opposite direction.
In a move aimed at getting fruit sold beyond Tijuana and Mexicali, where it's been permitted since 2002, the California Avocado Commission is considering taking the issue to a World Trade Organization dispute panel, said Tom Bellamore, the commission's senior vice president and corporate counsel.
"We have a case any attorney would love to have," Bellamore said. "It's a sure win. There is not one piece of solid evidence to keep California avocados out of Mexico. None."
The commission -- the research and lobbying arm of the industry funded by grower, packer and importer assessments -- sought full access to Mexico in February 1999, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Subsequent negotiations resulted in access being granted to Tijuana and Mexicali in October 2002.
"At that time, Mexico agreed to consider expanded access, beginning with five additional Mexican states," explained Melissa O'Dell, a spokeswoman for U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in Maryland. "That access was contingent upon a pest risk assessment done by Mexico."
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service representatives met with Mexican officials last month and reiterated that completing the risk assessment is a priority, according to O'Dell.
WTO a last resort
Taking the issue to a World Trade Organization dispute panel is likely to be a last, or next-to-last, resort, Bellamore said. The commission is using other methods of getting its point across, such as having its leadership meet with representatives of the Foreign Agricultural Services, another division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Bellamore and Avocado Commission Chairman Jerome Stehly met with officials of that agency on July 15.
"They (the Foreign Agricultural Services officials) pledged to elevate this to priority level on their agenda during bilateral trade talks with Mexico," Bellamore said of the outcome of that meeting. "We want to see if the USDA keeps its promise. We could make a decision in four months if we don't see a good-faith effort to break this thing open. We're going to keep pressing them on this."
When contacted Wednesday at the Mexican Embassy in Washington, D.C., Froylan Gracia of that country's Ministry of Agriculture said he was unaware of a formal request for full access to Mexican markets. He said he understood that the U.S. request in 1999 was specifically limited to Tijuana and Mexicali.
Under the rules of the World Trade Organization and the North American Free Trade Agreement, a risk assessment for safety and sanitation has to be done before a country grants access to its markets, Gracia said.
"If there is request that comes from the U.S. government, we'll do a risk assessment. If the risk assessment shows that there is no sanitary risk, we would open the market," Gracia added. "And, depending on the level of risks, we could take procedures to minimize the risks."
Mexican avocado growers might be concerned that further access into their country could potentially lead to the "dumping of lower-quality avocados into the Mexican markets," Gracia said.

Military Short Sales And Effect On Credit Score (Virginia Beach Real Estate)
My recent article on "Why Military Homeowners PCS'ing Should Short Sale Their Home" has resulted in many inquires from Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads Military personnel.
Most military homeowners worry how the short sale will effect their credit or security clearance. The security clearance is far the most important item, but if your credit is good with no history of derogatory payments you should be just fine (check with your chain of command regarding financial issues and impact on security clearance).
Most all stories from Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads military families are pretty much the same:
1. Transferred and renting out their home in the Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads area for less than the mortgage payment resulting in financial strain at the new PCS duty station. Dealing with property management from far away and the potential cost of repairs so the home remains in decent condition.
2. The spouse and children staying behind while the military member transfers because they cannot sell the home due to being so far "underwater".
3. Always current on their mortgage payment and receiving no sympathy from bank or lender about refinancing or mortgage adjustments.
The biggest issue from military homeowners repeatedly has been what will my credit score do? The good news is if you are current on your mortgage and have no "lates or missed payments" you should see relatively minor change in your credit score. In fact, some Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads military personnel have been able to short sale their current residence and turn around within months and purchase a new home.
My thoughts: Don't get caught up with the credit score issue. Getting rid of the debt with NO Pursuit of Deficiency is far more important for peace of mind, your family, and getting on with your life. You already give much for your country so take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.
The short term short sale pain, if much at all, is a no brainer. Contact Dennis Blackmore for more information and getting started.

Somali pirates seize oil tanker. Where are the anti-piracy forces?
The Greek-owned Maran Centaurus was seized Sunday more than 800 miles east of Mogadishu fully loaded with an estimated 2 million barrels of oil heading for New Orleans from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Maran Tankers/AP
Nairobi, Kenya
Almost exactly a year ago, a handful of modern-day pirates from Somalia in small, open skiffs shocked the world by hijacking a 1,090-foot oil tanker carrying $100 million of crude bound for the US.
Within months, a three-dozen-strong flotilla of vessels flying the flags of at least 12 different international navies had been deployed to protect shipping passing through what had become the world's most dangerous waters.
Yet, on Monday, the pirates did it again.
A second Very Large Crude Carrier, the Greek-owned Maran Centaurus, was seized more than 800 miles east of Mogadishu fully loaded with an estimated 2 million barrels of oil heading for New Orleans from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Monday's attack is raising fresh questions about the effectiveness of the international effort to curb piracy, headquartered at the US Fifth Fleet's base in Bahrain.
"The reason it's still happening is that the big international naval deployment is concentrated in the Gulf of Aden, where there is a clearly defined, narrow shipping corridor, which is a much easier area to police," said Roger Middleton, piracy expert at the Chatham House think tank in London. "Now the pirates have packed up and moved much deeper into the Indian Ocean, which is just an enormous area. With the 30 or 40 ships available to the international naval force it is just not possible to police it properly."

I put a bell on his collar and I have raised the bird feeder so he can't get to it, but that hasn't stopped the killing. What else can I do?

I only told my wife she was dead because when we began dating, "Nicole" was extremely jealous that I'd been married before. The problem is, I owe my ex $1,000, and she's tracked me down and is asking for the money (I moved away after we divorced). I can afford to pay her now, but there's no way I can take that kind of money out of our savings account without Nicole noticing. What should I do?

Parenting: 4-year-old's bedtime fears fixable, with patience
posted: 03/18/2015 1:46 a.m. Discuss
Q About six months ago, our 4-year-old daughter began complaining of being afraid to be alone at bedtime. Upon questioning, she told us she was afraid of monsters in her closet and under her bed. We were unable to convince her otherwise. In fact, the more we talked to her, the more her fears grew, to the point where she was becoming nearly hysterical at bedtime. As a result, I began staying with her until she fell asleep. The problem is that she wants to talk and doesn't end up falling asleep until 10 or 11 o'clock. I should mention that she gives us no other problems and is a happy little girl at preschool. Does this indicate some deep-seated insecurity or is she, as a therapist friend suggested, just being manipulative? In any case, your advice would be appreciated.

I recently asked my stepson, age 14, to wash his towels after he showers. He throws them in the corner of the bathroom and they sit there for days. His father overheard me and reprimanded me for asking his son to do chores while he's visiting us. This doesn't sound right to me. What's good ex-etiquette?

I have some longer term plans to open up some allowances for user skinning, but that's still a ways off, and nothing is finalized or approved yet.

I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around one aspect of the State pattern. I understand the basic examples provided on wikipedia, etc. but what if I your
StateContext class is making conditional state changes on say a timer distinct to each state?
So for example, say our states are
C, and
D. And I want to change states based on a state-based timer. For example remain in A for 5 seconds, B for 7 seconds, C for 3 seconds, and D for 10 seconds.
Who should manage that duration? Should each state be aware of its duration? In that case, I feel icky copying and pasting the
_duration attribute to each state and think maybe my
State interface should be an abstract base class with that attribute.
Or should the

A British Airways Boeing's 787 Dreamliner is parked at Heathrow Airport in London July 4, 2013.(AFP Photo/Justin Tallis)
LONDON: A pilot for a British budget airline briefly lost control of a flight after his artificial arm came loose during landing, an air accident report said Thursday.
The Flybe plane carrying 47 passengers was coming in to land at Belfast City Airport from Birmingham on February 12 when the pilot's prosthetic forearm became detached from a special clamp fitted to the plane's yoke.
This caused the plane to land with a "bounce," but no one was injured.
Flybe said it was proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
"The senior captain referred to in this report is one of Flybe's most experienced and trusted pilots," said Captain Ian Baston, the firm's director of flight operations and safety.
"The airline confirms that at no time was the safety of its passengers or crew compromised in any way, nor was the aircraft damaged."
The report from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch said the 46-year-old pilot had checked that his prosthetic arm was securely attached to the clamp shortly before landing.
He had disconnected the autopilot and was landing the plane manually when the arm came loose, forcing him to try to regain control with his right arm.
"He did this, but with power still applied and possibly a gust affecting the aircraft, a normal touchdown was followed by a bounce, from which the aircraft landed heavily," the report said.
The captain has pledged to be more careful in future about checking the attachment on his artificial limb and briefing his co-pilots about a possible similar event, it added.

Drought and my bamboo (with pics!!!)
mersiepoo(6)April 21, 2009
Usually only when the temps drop below 0 would the boos look this bad, but I think Kudzu is right and the drought did it. All my boos look like this, I hope they survive and recover. :) I always thought bamboo was indestructible!
P. Nigra (henon), not even for my zone, lol! Takes FOREVER to spread, this was planted in 2002.
Hard to say from the pics, but as CJ said it might be gone.
However, I thought I lost a bamboo to the drought, but dug it up anyway and potted the remains. I watered it constantly, and today saw that it has new growth...after looking dead since January, so I wouldn't give up hope yet.
Get water to it as soon as possible.
Good Luck

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Manitoba sanctum
Millennium Library's Local History Room a treasure trove
On a quiet weekday morning in the downtown Millennium Library, Gertie Zepp has found the book she's looking for.
Sigfusson's Roads, published in 1992 by the late Svein Olaf Sigfusson, is a compendium of the northern transportation network on the Prairies.
Zepp, a retired teacher, needs to refer to it to complete the history she is writing on the Oxford House First Nation near Thompson.
"It's going to be my gift to the community," says Zepp, 73. "I taught there for 25 years."
To be clear, Zepp found Sigfusson's Roads not in the general stacks but in the Local History Room, which is tucked away on the third floor beside Micromedia Services.
"It's a wonderful place," Zepp says. "I practically live here."
With Manitoba's 140th birthday on the horizon, many more history aficionados may be joining her.
The 1,600-square-foot room contains a treasure trove of material, more than 8,000 individual titles of fiction, non-fiction, photography, corporate and public documents, even cookbooks.
Librarian Louis-Philippe Bujold says the most popular items by far are the various volumes of the Henderson's Directory, which list names, addresses, phone numbers and occupations of Winnipeggers dating back to 1880.
"People use them to research their family trees," says Bujold, who has been in charge of the Local History Room since it opened in the newly refurbished library in November 2005.
"Manitobans love their genealogical history."
Also in demand, he says, are a variety of community histories, much like the one Zepp is undertaking. Many of them are written and self-published by committees of amateur historians.
"We're not looking for Shakespeare," says Bujold, 32, who was born and raised in Quebec. "But if they describe everyday life in Manitoba, they can have great value and we're happy to buy them."
The majority of the titles come from the Centennial Library's old Canadiana Collection. Bujold went through those books one by one, keeping about 5,000 that had significant Manitoba content.
"The collection's still growing," he says. "But it's now about filling the gaps."
Those who used the old collection will recall that it was not open for browsing. You filled out a chit with the book's title, and a librarian would pull the copy for you.
"You needed to know what you wanted before you could see it," Zepp says. "Now you can just go up and down the stacks, so you find things you didn't know existed. And the staff is so helpful."
Many of the titles, certainly the current ones, are duplicated in the library general collection. However, those could be out on loan. What's in the Local History Room stays in the Local History Room.
"The collection is good," says University of Manitoba librarian and historian Jim Blanchard, best known for his award-winning 2005 book Winnipeg 1912: Diary of a City.
"Almost everything I turn up that I'm interested in looking at, he has it."
The Local History Room, of course, isn't the only source of Manitoba history. Researchers also use the legislative library, the provincial archives, the universities and the Hudson's Bay Collection.
For those who want to own their books, Burton Lysecki's venerable second-hand store on Osborne Street South has built up an impressive collection over the decades.
But the library's is probably the most accessible to average people, and with its light-oak tables and historical paintings on the wall, it offers a relaxing and spacious atmosphere.
"It's a different era," says Rick Walker, the city's manager of library services. "We think it's much better for the public to have access to this material in a nice setting."
The library also offers a number of electronic databases to supplement patrons' research, and Bujold programs events and displays of special interest to history buffs.
In a perfect world, Walker says, everything would be digitized, but that is a long, slow and expensive project.
"We get requests for information from all over the world," Walker says. "It would be great for people to have computer access from anywhere."
The Local History room is open regular library hours. More than 125,000 people have come in since November 2005. These days traffic averages about 2,300 visits per month.
About half the new additions come from the library's general acquisitions budget. Many people donate material they've stumbled upon in their attics or who knows where.
Bujold also pays for rarer titles from a fund targeted for history books by Winnipegger Violet Hitchcock, who made generous donations in 2003 and 2005.
At its peak the Hitchcock fund stood at $36,000. Bujold has spent $26,000 of it so far.
"A used book can cost $10 or $500," Bujold says. "It used to be very competitive, especially with libraries in Alberta, but the local dealers now give us first choice."
Time capsule
Among the 8,000-plus books in the Winnipeg Public Library's Local History Room are significant titles:
"ö Observations on the Present State of the Highlands of Scotland, with a View of Immigration, by Thomas Douglas, Earl of Selkirk (1805)
"ö A History of Riel's Second Rebellion, and How It Was Quelled, by Arnold Haultain (1885).
"ö Is Manitoba Right?: A Question of Ethics, Politics, Facts and Law: A Review of the Manitoba School Question, published by the Winnipeg Tribune (1895).
"ö Souvenir of Winnipeg, the Capital of Manitoba: Railroad Centre, Trade Centre, Manufacturing Centre, Educational Centre (1891).
"ö Address to the Jury in the Crown vs. Armstrong, Heaps, Bray, Ivens, Johns, Pritchard, and Queen, Indicted for Seditious Conspiracy and Common Nuisance: Fall Assizes, Winnipeg 1919-20 by William Pritchard (1920).

U.S. says renewed Congo fighting risks engulfing region
PARIS (Reuters) – The United States said on Monday renewed fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo between the army and M23 rebels risked dragging neighboring countries into the conflict and it urged all sides to return to the negotiating table.
Following two months of relative calm in the region, fighting flared last Friday after peace talks in neighboring Uganda broke down when M23 rebels demanded an amnesty for their leaders. President Joseph Kabila has ruled out a blanket pardon.
France says treating Iran's nuclear overture with caution
PARIS (Reuters) – France is treating Iranian overtures to the international community over its nuclear program with caution and is waiting to see concrete proposals, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Thursday.
The United States on Wednesday described two days of nuclear talks with Iran as the most serious to date after diplomats said Tehran hinted it was ready to scale back sensitive atomic activities to secure urgent sanctions relief.
France in demand again as Central Africa crisis deepens
BANGUI (Reuters) – France, whose troops this year halted an Islamist assault towards Mali's capital, is now in demand from another of its former African colonies.
"Let's make up with the mother that feeds us! President Hollande we want your help!" read one banner as cheering locals welcomed France's foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, to Central African Republic at the weekend.
France to increase troops in Central African Republic
BANGUI (Reuters) – France will boost its troop presence in the Central African Republic by the end of the year end under a forthcoming U.N. resolution to help prevent the country from spiraling out of control, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Sunday.
Fabius and the European Union aid chief, Kristalina Georgieva, are in the country to drum up support and international interest for a largely forgotten crisis.
France wants action on Central Africa 'sectarian poison'
PARIS (Reuters) – France's foreign minister heads to the Central African Republic (CAR) on Sunday aiming to drum up international interest for a largely forgotten crisis that risks dragging Paris into a new military intervention in one of its former colonies.
The nation has descended into chaos since mostly Muslim Seleka rebels ousted President Francois Bozize in March, the latest coup in the country that remains one of the world's poorest despite resources ranging from gold to uranium.
Ex-Central African Republic head seeks support in Africa: source
PARIS (Reuters) – Deposed former Central African Republic President Francois Bozize is in east Africa in all likelihood seeking support to regain power, a senior French diplomatic source said on Thursday.
Bozize, who ruled the former French colony for a decade, fled to Cameroon in March after rebels captured the riverside capital Bangui. He arrived in France in July and told media he nurtured ambitions of returning to power.
France says its forces kill 10 Islamist militants in Mali
PARIS (Reuters) – French special forces killed around 10 militants in a gun battle in northern Mali this month, Paris said on Thursday, as simmering violence threatens security at November elections and will delay a French troop withdrawal.
France, which sent soldiers to its former colony in January to oust militants who had taken over swathes of the West African country, will not draw down troop numbers to 1,000, from 3,200 by year-end as initially planned, a spokesman confirmed.
French military prepares 2014 cuts, far-right seeks to benefit
PARIS (Reuters) – France's military will cut almost 8,000 jobs next year, Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Thursday, detailing government belt-tightening plans that the far-right hopes will deliver it votes at municipal elections in 2014.
The cuts come as tensions rise within the 17-month-old coalition of Socialist President Francois Hollande, whose satisfaction ratings have fallen to 23 percent due to concerns about a stalled economy and high unemployment.
France military eyes 2014 cuts, far-right seeks to benefit
PARIS (Reuters) – France's military will cut about 7,500 jobs next year, a defense ministry source said on Thursday, detailing government belt-tightening plans that the far-right hopes will deliver it votes at municipal elections in 2014.
The cuts come as tensions rise within Socialist President Francois Hollande's 17-month-old coalition, whose poll ratings have fallen to 23 percent due to dissatisfaction about the economy and jobs.
U.N. Security Council demands elimination of Syria chemical arms
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution on Friday that demands the eradication of Syria's chemical weapons but does not threaten automatic punitive action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government if it does not comply.
The unanimous vote by the 15-member Security Council ended weeks of intense diplomacy between Russia and the United States. It was based on a deal between the two countries reached in Geneva earlier this month following an August 21 sarin nerve gas attack on a Damascus suburb that killed hundreds.

[TGWTDT] New Testimony From The Last Hunting Day
AUSTIN – Flower #2
I've been following the saga of Mouth Taped Shut and What is Hidden in Snow since the first week. I anxiously awaited the drop of an Austin flower early on. Unfortunately, when the first one hit, I wasn't able to make it. I work on the University of Texas at Austin campus and bus to work. I tried desperately to get a Car2Go or even a cab to get over there, but couldn't make it happen. I did have a friend drop everything she was doing at work and go, but she was too late. In fact, she's mentioned in MacGregor's story as the person who pulled up and asked if the package was found. It was pretty sad, but at least we tried.

Following the high-profile split of Tory and Chris Burch, Chris' attempt to launch C. Wonder stores attracted mostly criticism—but few shoppers—resulting in bankruptcy earlier this year.
Burch has now set his sights on the office, with his interest in the Poppin stationery brand (one of his many brand interests, as noted below).
Poppin has jsut expanded from a peppy line of brightly-colored stationery and desktop accessories that's designed for the home and small business office to brightening the rest of the office with furniture, including a roller chair for $289, an LED desk lamp for $129, and modular desks and lounge sofas.
He invested $17 million to help Poppin, founded in 2009, dominate the one-stop retail space for startup-ready, funky office spaces. Continue reading...

need recommendations for sun loving ground cover
Any suggestions for ground cover for full sun - perferable one that stays green without flowering and requires little water to thrive.
I think your best bet is to use the wonderful search feature at the Missouri Botanical Garden website.
Put in your zone. Put in Full sun. Put in ground cover and see what it brings up. You'll be able to review good information about each plant type, narrow your preferences, and then work toward a list that you can take to a local nursery for further exploration.
Choosing a specific ground cover without any design context feels a little weird for me on this forum. I haven't a clue what or where or how this query fits within a landscape. Maybe it would make more sense to pave the area or use astro turf? Just kidding, but working in the dark leads to strange suggestions.
Here is a link that might be useful: Search Missouri Botanical Garden
I second the Mobot recommendation. Sometimes a search will return very few results. If that happens, just tweak the "Requirements" and "Characteristics" sections, as well as anything you checked in the far-right column, and search again.
After the Mobot search, you might want to ask here or elsewhere about particular plants.
For instance, some groundcovers are more aggressive than others, and they can be aggressive in different ways. So it may matter whether you're trying to fill in a 30' slope (you only have to trim the outer perimeter -- some people would use vinca for this) or the edges of your foundation beds (you'd need to trim along the lawn edging and make sure the groundcover doesn't strangle, creep behind, or climb up the shrubs -- vinca would quickly overwhelm your foundation shrubs and be making its way across the lawn in its mission to Take Over the World).
Not to be a smarta$$, but the best ground cover for full sun is grass. Not if you are a lawn maniac that wants a pure pristine mono culture and bright green all summer. A mix of clover, several grasses, creeping charlie, etc and mow it high and not as often.

Wikipedia: "The Caledonian Sleeper is a sleeper train service operated by First ScotRail and one of only two remaining sleeper services running on the railways of Great Britain, the other being the Night Riviera.
It connects London Euston station and five Scottish termini – Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Fort William, Glasgow and Inverness – six times a week (departures are daily except for Saturday nights) and also serves a number of intermediate stations. The service to Fort William is colloquially known as The Deerstalker.
Caledonian is an adjective relating to Scotland or the Scottish Highlands and derives from Caledonia, the Latin name for northern Britain."
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

I'm about to shock even more people
by completely agreeing with you. There is no logical reason this issue 'should' result in less freedoms or more control over us but in either case of the GW debate, it will. That's a definite issue to be dealt with.
I see there being two ways to do so.
First one is to convince everyone that it's a hoax and to drop the CO2 based regulations that we know eventually lead down a dark path. To this, I say good luck. I'm done the science and believe it's a building problem 100% and I'm positive the the majority of other scientists have too. But even if none of us are vocal, there's still the propaganda machine to fight. Sorry, but this way is a losing battle.
The second option is to simply stop using fossil fuels to make our energy. People who state that this costs more are simply uninformed and listening to paid off experts telling them "THE" only renewables (implying PV and wind) can't do it. Sure, those can't do it cheaper, yet (they are getting very close though), but what's not being said is that there are others out there that CAN do it better, cheaper and 100% clean of CO2 emissions.
Even our farming, fishing and cattle raising techniques can be overhauled for INCREASED PROFITS and yield if we just stop listening to the "centralized system is best" people and start doing things locally, using distributed models. Right now, if you combine multiple proven techniques on about 3 acres of land, you can produce enough beef, pork, poultry, fish, shrimp, veggies, spuds and assorted other foods to feed nearly 100 people year round. If the entire US wanted to eat from people doing this, all of those mini-farms would fit inside Texas with room to spare and with no farms outside that state.
All I've been saying this entire thread is that both halves of the problem (the freedom and the GW issues) go away if we go renewable, so why don't more people embrace it?

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - The University of Kansas is increasing its efforts to help people who are victims of discrimination or harassment.
The university opened a central office to take discrimination or harassment complaints this semester. And it is requiring all students, faculty and staff to take an online sexual harassment training course, both on the Lawrence campus and at the campus in Overland Park.
Before this year, harassment or discrimination reports were directed to the Department of Human Resources or handled by individual academic departments.
Jane McQueeny is director of the new office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports (http://bit.ly/QvqsO3 ) the course must be completed by Oct. 5. It helps define sexual harassment and sexual violence, and discusses relationships between students and faculty.

On Sunday, April 29, 2012, a group of Einstein students traveled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in Manhattan, to take part in the "Think Outside the Body" event hosted by the Einstein chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS). Led by student members of GHHS, the tour included lively discussions about "observation" while viewing various masterpieces of art, which ranged from an ancient Greek marble torso to Van Dyck's portrait of Lucas van Uffel from the 17th century.
The event was adapted from a lecture called "Think Outside the Body," presented earlier this year at Einstein by museum educator and Mount Sinai faculty member, Dr. Rebecca Hirschwerk. During Dr. Hirschwerk's presentation, students were able to explore the fine arts while discovering a new perspective on the art of viewing the human body.
Both the lecture and the museum trip were organized by the class of 2012 GHHS members to better promote humanism in medicine and to facilitate a better understanding of the art of doctoring.

The property is comprised of three interconnected buildings that are linked together through a connecting walkway and a landscaped courtyard and playground. Stonehenge Village is also a block away from the new Columbus Square retail complex which features a wonderful Whole Foods Market. The building is only a short walk to Central Park and a number of great Upper West Side restaurants and nightlife options.
