Sept. 16, 2013
Let this be a warning ladies, purse-snatchers don't stand out in a crowd and they strike in both good and bad neighborhoods.
This one happened on Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at about 5:30 p.m. at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch said a 58-year-old petite woman was walking in front of the windows of the shops at a strip mall when a man came up from behind and grabbed her purse.
"But what was interesting is the way he did this," Burch said. "He walked into a store for a few seconds and, when she passed by, he came back out and approached her from behind. He grabbed her purse, she held on and he dragged her into the parking lot."
She suffered a pretty serious case of road rash and other injuries, but the guy took off without her purse. He had backed his car into a space for a quick getaway. He was driving a white Pontiac Grand Am.

Jessica Vidal.
Next, help Phoenix police solve the murder of a gorgeous young woman. Jessica Vidal was 21-years-old when she was found shot to death in an alley on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012.
It was an alley near 39th Avenue and McDowell, not far from where Jessica lived with her brother and grandmother.
"We don't have any leads or clues in this case but Jessica was dating at the time and it's possible one of her suitors may have killed her," said Burch.

What is an example of how an atmosphere of fear and suspicion is created in Of Mice And Men?
1 Answer | Add Yours
An example of the atmosphere of fear and suspicion is George's fear of what Lennie is going to do, and what kind of trouble he will get into.
George and Lennie live in constant fear, because George never knows what Lennie is going to do and Lennie is always getting into trouble.
"Run us out, hell," said George disgustedly. "We run. They was lookin' for us, but they didn't catch us." Lennie giggled happily. "I didn't forget that, you bet." (ch 1)
They were run out of Weed because Lennie touched a girl's dress. Lennie does not know what he is doing is wrong, and often does harm when he does not intend to. George worries about Lennie because he can't predict what he will do.

Quote: Creativity involves all aspects of human life. According to Mayer, "creativity involves the creation of an original and useful product" (1999: 449, original emphasis). In other words, creative activity produces novelty and value recognized by someone else, who may be a single person, or society at large. Language is a primary tool for this creativity. Language allows us to create something original and useful on a daily basis. It is original because it always carries our own voice. Linguistic creativity is useful because it facilitates effectively relating our thoughts and feelings to others.

His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj appeared on this planet on the most auspicious day of Annada Ekadashi, on August 14, 1944, in New Delhi, India. After visiting the ISKCON temple in Montreal, Canada in September of 1967, Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj yearned to meet a Vaishnava guru and got the opportunity to meet Srila Prabhupada there in 1968. The combination of his family background and his search for spiritual life led him to Srila Prabhupada and he accepted initiation from him in early 1969. Gopal Krishna Goswami played a leading role in inspiring and completing several large ISKCON temples, such as the Glory of India temple in New Delhi in 1998 (inaugurated by then Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee) and the Radha Bankebihari temple in Nairobi. Currently he is the GBC of over thirty temples around the world and serves as an initiating spiritual master, with disciples in Russia, America, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Quotes by His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj
Quotes by His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj
The material world is a dangerous place to be in. It's dangerous because there is a temptation of illusory energy; there is danger at every step.
Importance of Guru
If you carry out the order of your spiritual master then the Lord will be so pleased that He will come to see you.
Our quota is not sixteen rounds, but attentive sixteen rounds.
Guru's Happiness
Guru is pleased when he sees that the disciple is showing the symptoms of Shudh Bhakti.
Ill Effects of Prajalpa (Useless Talking)
Krishna katha brings a person to devotional service. In the same way, Prajalpa (useless talking) takes him away from devotional service.
Devotional Service
Devotional service is so simple, but devotees because of their material inclinations make it complicated.

Week 36
What Is Happening To Your Body
Continue eating healthy foods. You should be consuming about 2,400 to 2,500 calories a day of nutrient-packed foods like fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, beans and whole grains.
Most babies will be in a head-down position by this week. If your baby's feet or tailbone has descended into the birth canal first, also known as the breach position, your healthcare provider can recommend exercises to coax the baby to turn around, making delivery easier. Alternatively, your doctor may try to move the baby into the head-down position with his or her hands. You will probably need to go to the hospital for this so that you and your baby can be monitored during the procedure.
Your prenatal checks will now happen every week until your baby is born. Be sure to inquire about what you should do if your water breaks. Review your birth plan and make sure your doctor has a copy. Also take time to discuss your plans for breastfeeding with your partner and doctor.

Costco: Stock-Up Price On Coconut Oil!
Posted by Aimee on June 18, 2013
As I walked through the aisles this morning at Costco I did a complete double take on the coconut oil. Hain's Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil, 54oz only $15.79!!! Normally it's a great deal if you can get 32oz for $13.00, but this is definitely HOT and a STOCK-UP PRICE!!!
Also, check out the post I did Called Is Shopping At Warehouse Stores Cheaper? Check Out My List Of Good Buys & Things To Stay Away From!
Comments2 Responses to "Costco: Stock-Up Price On Coconut Oil!"
I noticed this price at my Costco in Southern Ca too. I still have coconut oil at home, but when I am out, I will definitely buy it there. It is a great price for regular coconut oil, but for organic coconut oil it is even better. :) I have never seen it this cheap anywhere else.

The Presence of Joy. Other projects have distracted me and kept me from continuing with my earlier series of posts on formation (you can read them here, here and here). I want now to pick up where I left off in July and look briefly with you at the intellectual formation of clergy (and by implication, of the laity).
Recently there has been a series of essays on natural law. What makes these essays especially interesting to me is that the series was inspired by the Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart's rejection of natural law in an article in First Things (here, with follow-up pieces here and here). While I admire the beauty and elegance of Hart's language, I find myself agreeing with his critics. There are to be sure various theories of natural law but the Christian (and after reading Levinas's (1969, 1987) work, I would say the biblical) understanding of natural law is rooted in a careful attention to human experience. Hart, like the Greek Orthodox theologian Christos Yannaras (1984), rejects natural law as such but a natural law rooted in ontological abstraction. Natural law in the biblical sense does not seek to draw ethical conclusions from abstract ontology speculation but from human experience.
Attending to my experience I realize that I only want to be happy. Looking a bit more closely at myself I realize that some things make me happier than other but that sometimes even the best things can leave me feeling empty. I also realize some things bring me only a temporary feeling of happiness—they make me happy for the moment—while other things have the ability to bring me a lasting happiness. The Christian tradition calls this latter, lasting happiness, joy. So my experience tells me that not only can I be happy I can be joyful. There are thoughts and actions that bring me a kind of happiness that is not dependent on circumstances event. The paradox of joy is that it transcends the very circumstances that revealed it to me. My thoughts and actions embody what Paul Ricoeur calls a "surplus of meaning" (1976). Sensitivity to this surplus of meaning, to the transcendent dimension of human experience, is essential to a wholesome human life and especially to the Christian life.

As part of its ambition to make Vancouver the world's greenest city, Vision Vancouver may introduce a bike share program, along the lines of the successful Bixi (bike taxi) program adopted in Montréal. Surveys indicate a high level of acceptance, with 80% of respondents stating they would use a Bixi in summer, and 70% being enthusiastic enough to use it in winter. Visitors were even keener than locals; showing that Bixi's are a great tourist attraction, as tourists can literally use them as self-powered, cheap bike taxis.
I say bring it on! Bixi programs are a wonderful form of alternative, environmentally friendly transport. In Vancouver's congested city centre Bixi's would be ideal, especially given that roads are flat, and that we will soon have a basic network of separated bike lanes, thanks to Vision Vancouver.
There is however one huge problem: the Province of BC's insistence on cyclists wearing helmets (augmented by Vancouver's bylaw that cyclists wear helmets on city paths).
The provincial minister does have the power to exempt a group of people from the helmet requirement (as was done for the operators and the passengers of pedicabs) – but there is no sign of this power being invoked to exempt Bixi riders.
Melbourne Bixi System Failing due to Helmet Law
Melbourne proves the point that compulsory helmets can destroy a Bixi program. This site provides a live update of usage figures in cities that have adopted Bixi type programs. Melbourne lags dismally behind.
Melbourne is searching for solutions for its Bixi problem: it is providing self-service helmet dispensing machines; also, it has arranged for 7-Elevens in Melbourne to sell helmets to Bixi users for $5. These helmets can be recycled back to the stores for $3.
I admire Melbourne's inventiveness, but I worry about hygiene, especially head lice. I don't believe most people would feel comfortable sharing helmets.
Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist and I tried out the Melbourne Bixi system, and found it had a lot of problems. Stations were far apart, and we got pretty frazzled trying to find them (we even had one of our rare fights, when we couldn't find a station for so long that we got tired, stressed and hungry). So it might not be ALL about the helmets, to be honest. But it definitely plays a part.
Helmet Laws are a Cop Out for the Authorities
Insisting on cyclists wearing helmets is just a way for authorities to cop out of providing safe cycling infrastructure. I felt a lot safer cycling helmetless on Montréal's separated lanes than I feel when I am commuting home from work in Burnaby. Sure, I have the mandatory helmet on my head – but how is that going to help if I get hit by one of the buses sharing the lane with me, or by an SUV whose driver is preoccupied with an "important" phone call?
I'd be just as dead, with or without a helmet. (Research indicates that helmets are pretty useless at speeds over 23 kph.)
Helmets as a CYA Tactic (rather than Cover Your Head)
Vancouver's cycling helmet law is akin to not providing any sidewalks, thereby forcing vulnerable pedestrians to mix it up with fast-moving, 2-ton vehicular traffic – and then trying to CYA by passing a law that says pedestrians have to wear helmets to protect their brains when they (inevitably) get mown down by cars.
The helmet law enables authorities to point a finger at cyclists, saying they are responsible for their own injuries because they failed to wear adequate protection – while avoiding the responsibility of providing the safe infrastructure that would enable cyclists to be just fine without helmets!
Bottom line: for a bike share program to succeed in Vancouver, we will need to rapidly expand the network of safe, separated bike lanes, so as to be able to safely do away with the helmet law. Luckily, we do seem to be moving in that direction.
My thanks: to Richard Campbell, Director of the British Columbia Cycling Coalition, for updating me on the relevant legislation regarding helmets in Vancouver.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...2D40.DTL&tsp=1Final health bill omits some of Obama's promises
By ERICA WERNER, Associated Press Writer
Friday, March 19, 2010
It was a bold response to skyrocketing health insurance premiums. President Barack Obama would give federal authorities the power to block unreasonable rate hikes.
Yet when Democrats unveiled the final, incarnation of their health care bill this week, the proposal was nowhere to be found.
Ditto with several Republican ideas that Obama had said he wanted to include after a televised bipartisan summit last month, including a plan by Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma to send investigators disguised as patients to hospitals in search of waste, fraud and abuse.
And those "special deals" that Obama railed against and said he wanted to eliminate? With the exception of two of the most notorious extra Medicaid money for Nebraska and a carve-out for Florida seniors faced with losing certain extra Medicare benefits they are all still there.
For the White House, these were the latest unfulfilled commitments related to Obama's health care proposal, starting with his campaign promise to let C-SPAN cameras film negotiations over the bill. Obama also backed down with little apparent regret on his support for a new government-run insurance plan as part of the legislation, a liberal priority.
What president has ever been able to push through a bill that the opposition has objected to as much as this one wihout making compromises? I love the misleading title of the post though...very fox news of you.

Rebecca B. of Westborough
Mapping Westborough's Stone Walls
I decided to pursue my Gold Award project because I am interested in my town's history. Westborough is home to countless stone walls that border streets, yards, and travel through woods. I have always been interested in them, as one borders my own yard. Last year, I learned that many of these walls are hundreds of years old. They provide a rare glimpse of the past and that they were in danger. Through the effects of time, overgrowth, construction, and thieves, these pieces of Westborough's history were quickly fading away. I worked with Westborough Community Land Trust (WCLT), an organization dedicated to preserving Westborough's natural history. Over the course of a year, I located and created detailed maps of the stone walls within the WCLT's land. My project will help to preserve the stone walls of Westborough as WCLT now has detailed maps of the locations of the walls and can ensure they are kept safe. I developed a deeper appreciation for my town's history and for the craftsmen who manually placed each stone in thousands of miles of walls spread throughout New England. I also learned about time management, independence, responsibility, and survival skills. My dad accompanied me on many outings, with GPS in hand. He helped make my project an adventure.
Rebecca is a graduate of Westborough High School (WHS), where she was member of the National Honor Society, the cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track teams, as well a varsity racer on the WHS Alpine Ski Team.

Kampala — As Uganda celebrates 50 years of Independence, the Karamoja region also has reason to celebrate as government recently approved the construction the region's first tarmac road.
Construction of the 93.3km Moroto - Nakapiripirit highway is expected to commence in the next three months and will be a welcome relief to businessmen who have been spending days on the road as a result of the impassable roads.
Located in North Eastern Uganda, Karamoja is home to the Kidepo Valley National Park that is known to be the only place where tourists have the chance to see lions feeding.
According to Eng. Abraham Byandala, the Minister of Works and Transport the project will cost Ush184b ($7.7m) and will take a duration of 36 months and will trigger the development of other social infrastructure like hotels and lodges.
Hon. Ayepa Michael, the Member of Parliament for Labwor County in Abim District says that much as government had finally come true on their promise 16 years later, there were about five gateways into the Karamoja region and all of them are in the worst condition.
"Moroto is not the whole of Karamoja, you have Kaabong which is very strategic because of the Kidepo Valley. The miners and World Food Program (WFP) trucks are destroying these roads. How will drugs reach the people when the roads are not passable? We have to go through Kenya so as to access karamoja," he said.
Dr. Lokii John Baptist, the MP for Matheniko County in Moroto District said that government needs to fast track the tarmacking of the roads in Karamoja if the country is to fully harness the tourism potential in the region.
"Kidepo is a gold mine for Uganda's tourism. As I talk now, there's a truck full of tourists enroute to Kidepo that has been stuck for four days. What message are we sending out there?" he wondered.
Hon. Samuel Lokeris, the Chairman of the Karamoja Parliamentary Group says that the region has a lot of potential and yet the issue of infrastructure has hampered its development.
"Karamoja is now ready for investment and service delivery. We have pacified and disarmed and so service providers shouldn't be scared," he said.
The appointment of the first lady Ms. Janet Museveni as the Minister for Karamoja Affairs gave the legislators a lot of hope that development would soon follow, but the road network has of late become a hindrance as a result of the floods that have made the roads impassable.

Earlier this June, eBay rolled out its new search engine, Cassini, to all web users in North America. Now, Wired magazine has recognized the achievement, calling Cassini a "new engine for a new identity."
As writer Marcus Wohlsen notes, back in 2008, eBay had lost its innovation mojo. Searches for "iPods" on the site led to results pages featuring cars and the company overall was in a turnaround. To jump start the search technology, eBay, led by Vice President of Experience and Search Hugh Williams, launched the Cassini project to provide consumers with a more targeted shopping experience.
The results speak for themselves.
"Users of the site won't notice any obvious cosmetic changes announcing something new under the hood," Wohlsend writes. "But eBay hopes they will notice a dramatic narrowing of the gap between wanting and finding. If its engineers were truly successful, eBay will even start showing them the things they want before they know they want them."
Cassini "could really bend the curve of innovation at eBay," Williams says. "It's a platform on which we'll be able to do amazing things."

Google locked in legal rumbles over Gmail in Europe

Behind Google's German courtroom battleSeptember 14, 2006
Google gives up on Gmail name in U.K.October 19, 2005
The Zurich Commercial Court on Monday dismissed Google's arguments in a lawsuit challenging a trademark registered by German venture capitalist Daniel Giersch, who runs an electronic postal delivery business in Germany and Switzerland that goes by the name G-mail (short for "Giersch mail").
The Mountain View, Calif.-based corporation had argued that Giersch had registered the name in bad faith, but the Swiss court disagreed. Google plans to file an appeal.
The outcome does not require Google to abandon use of Gmail for its Swiss service, Google representatives said. Both Giersch and Google received Swiss rights to the name in 2005, although Giersch applied for his trademark several months before Google did, and both remain in possession of those marks.
That's because Swiss trademark officials do not check to see whether a name has been registered before they award a trademark; they merely check to see whether it meets their standards on its own, said Rose Hagan, a senior trademark counsel for Google. Then they leave it up to the parties to file challenges if they wish, and Google chose to file such a challenge.
The ruling "has no affect whatsoever on our ability to use the mark, so basically we're just back to the status quo," Hagan said in a telephone interview Friday.
Giersch, however, viewed the ruling as another victory. He already prevailed last year in a suit lodged by Google against his German trademark, which dates back to 2000. After that loss, Google agreed to change the name of its mail service to Google Mail. (The company also renamed its service in the United Kingdom to Google Mail in 2005 to stave off a trademark battle there.)
"The amount of victories against Google speaks a clear language of what is right and what is not," Giersch, who has also registered the Gmail name in Norway and Monaco, said in an e-mail interview.
Polish poets or cybersquatters?
Meanwhile, a Google representative confirmed that the company is in the midst of a legal challenge against the Polish registrant of Gmail.pl, as previously reported by Agence-France Presse. Google insists the site belongs to a "cybersquatter" who acquired the domain name last November and at one point posted a for-sale sign on it.
Google spokesman Ricardo Reyes said the company in January began proceedings in a Polish arbitration body to determine the domain name's rightful owner. Around that time, Gmail.pl began housing a blog for a Polish organization that calls itself Grupa Mlodych Artystow i Literatow (GMAiL), or Group of Young Artists and Writers.
"The owner of the domain name today is the same as it was back in November--the same guy who tried to put it for sale, the same guy who tried to auction it off," Reyes said. "So we strongly believe that this creation of the Polish poets' Web page is a sham."
Attempts by CNET News.com to contact the Polish group on Friday were unsuccessful. But GMAiL member Izabela Krawczyk defended the group's rights to the domain name in a previous interview with the AFP.
"We bought the name legally, with our own money," she said. "Nobody gave it to us for free. We refuse to be deprived of what we consider is our property."
The latest legal developments arrive just weeks after a European Union trademark office denied Google the rights to register the Gmail name across all of its member countries. Company representatives maintain that the EU ruling has no effect on its use of the trademark Gmail in countries other than Germany and the U.K. and that user experiences will be the same regardless of the service's name.

- "Cybersquatter"
- Google needs to look up squatter in the dictionary. Registering a domain name before someone else isn't squatting. Squatting would be using a domain name without registering it. You'd think with all of those "beautiful mind" types that Google hires they'd be able to figure it out. Smart companies secure the appropriate domain names *before* launching the product. It's shameful that Google is attempting to use the courts to steal what they forgot to buy.

I do agree with this comment on Blogger Outer
"The most probable scenario is that Krawczyk and her friends are not professional cybersquatters, but when they were looking for domain and found ?gmail.pl? they registered it expecting fast profit."

- It would probably have been cheaper for Google to simple buy these guys off than it would have been to fight them in court.

Seriously though I did look at retro styled bikes as opposed to the real deal. I have multiple bikes so in the end the real thing had more appeal.
As for why I wanted retro anything, that was heavily influenced by my purchase of a new Ducati 996 in 2000. That bike quickly cured me of my infatuation with sportbikes, I was not worthy. (Don't get me wrong, I loved the bike, still own it in fact. I just realized it's potential was wasted on me).
I like retro styled bikes because though I like older bikes in general, they can be a pain to live with.
As for current retro bikes, I thought I'd love the Guzzi V7. Then I saw that red frame and hubs and whatever else. Ewww.... maybe if I can find a used one someday that I can tear down and refinish. But then again I've always had this silly desire to build a Sportster in the way I wish the Motor Company would....

So um.... yeeaaaahhhh.. I just finished watching Oldboy. Spent the last 10 minutes leaning away from the monitor in shock feeling sick as if I just watched Serbian Movie or something, even though all it was was a conversation between two men.
This is my first ever attempt to watch and finish an Asian production and bam, right in the kisser, there it is. I vaguely remember stumbling on Youtube upon a finale of some anime a few years ago, I remember the words "death note" (I could be wrong) and I remember the SAME type of dark stomach-twisting tragic vibe to a tragic end. Is it a mere coincidence or do Japanese productions tend to have this melancholic shocking tragic atmosphere that makes you lament your own life? (I realize Oldboy is Korean but it's based on Japanese material no?)
I will say that until that last confrontation, the movie felt like one big stroke of genius. Everything from the humor to the camera touches to the little foreshadowing details was amazing. Then there's the revelation pictured above and it's just sickening.
Verdict: 8/10. Two points dropped for being too long and sounding funny.
Anyway.. I've always disliked anime because, from what I've seen, it looked and sounded like an unnatural abomination but I kinda dig the fucked up feeling I have right now. I wanna be shocked and disgusted some more by extreme boundary-breaking narrative of incest and malice that will make me gag, I LIKE THE FEELING OF IT. So... I guess what I'm saying here is.... can you... recommend an Asian movie or anime that is filled with ridiculous tragedy like this?
What have I become.
