So why dont you look at my Profile? Its worth a look! Just a nice guy looking for that girl.
I'm a military veteran. Settled in the local area after deciding I had enough of California high prices. Grew up in the North Bay, and often found Tahoe as the go to place for a couple of days of vacation. Now its in my backyard and I don't have anyone to share exploring with. Maybe you're interested in a variety of activities including old gold towns and hiking? If not, I enjoy staying at home, a nice meal and a movie also. A typical Friday night would mean finding a place to sit down with friends or just us and discuss the week. I'm not a heavy clubber, or drinker...Its just not me but I'm willing to make the occasional trip with the right person. I like to hear your opinions, whether we agree or not I'm not scared to debate a subject in a friendly setting. Convictions change with time and experiences, hopefully you will be able to share your experiences with me and I will do the same.

Staying at ome with the option of going out on town is great. Since I like both. I also volunteer much of my time with local youth, when I have time off. Even though I now live in San Diego, I am still new to the area so seeing the sights is also fu

"This is possibly the best documentary review of the events of the fateful day 9/11 2001 when the Trade Towers in New York were completely destroyed by what is believed to be a shocking terrorist attack.You cannot fail to be moved by this documentary and after more than a decade the message is still as poignant as ever and I personally remember the day in my Operations Centre workplace when I witnessed the events of this tragic day on a full video wall in front of all the operators…all calls were treated differently when the realisation of the immense loss was becoming realised.This documentary is one of many made surrounding the events of 9/11 and is an award winning documentary in it's own right. The capture of the shocking footage of people having to throw themselves to their certain death will live with anyone seeing them forever.Any documentary about such personal and global tragedy will be upsetting and traumatic but they need to be shown so that we and our children do not forget how vulnerable we all are.We may wonder whether this was indeed a terrorist attack or some complex government conspiracy but the stark reality surrounds the tragic deaths of so many on this tragic day…if you wish to explore the search for the perpetrators of this then use this link."

The History Channel's How Bruce Lee Changed the World explores the amazing multitude of ways that Bruce Lee - the first international Asian superstar--has influenced pop culture. Calling Lee the biggest movie star in history is a bit of a stretch (though every shot of this hypnotically charismatic performer argues that he might have been, had he not died abruptly before the release of his fourth and most successful movie, Enter the Dragon).A wealth of interviewees, ranging from filmmakers like Jackie Chan (who was a stunt man on Lee's movies in his early career), John Woo, and Brett Ratner, comedians like Eddie Griffin and Margaret Cho, musicians like LL Cool J, RZA, and Damon Albarn, athletes like boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and bodybuilder Flex Wheeler, and more, testify to the enormous impression Lee had on them.The documentary overreaches at some points, but there's no denying that Lee brought martial arts movies to the West and redefined the image of Asian men in the public consciousness (before him, Asian men were fiends like Fu Manchu, servants, or buffoons).Lee's life history is efficiently told and some of the details are delightful--who would have guessed Lee was a champion cha-cha dancer in Hong Kong? His audition for The Green Hornet reveals a movie star just waiting to be discovered. The man himself--lithe and muscular, capable of astonishing speed and grace, radiating both intelligence and passion--makes all commentary unnecessary.

In biology and ecology, extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon), normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point.Mass extinctions are relatively rare events; however, isolated extinctions are quite common. Only recently have extinctions been recorded and scientists have become alarmed at the high rates of recent extinctions. Most species that become extinct are never scientifically documented. Some scientists estimate that up to half of presently existing species may become extinct by 2100.Watch this documentary and learn about the potential scenario in which all life could be wiped out on planet Earth.

This documentary is directed by Gus Van Sant and it is looking into the life and untimely death of the 90s rock icon Kurt Cobain. The video itself, character wise, is more resembling to an autobiography rather than a documentary.The opening of the documentary is a narrative by Cobain himself. He is not sown in the film until the very end. The filmmakers used time-lapse and still photography in the documentary to portray Cobain's birthplace on the Northwest, i.e. Aberdeen along with Olympia, and Seattle. These particular locations portray Cobain`s words. The music written by Cobain and the absence of any picture generates a feeling of absence. The soundtrack combines an ambient score from producer Steve Fisk and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard and his favorites like David Bowie. 'About a Son' nowhere suggest that it will provide a definitive portrait of Cobain. If you want to watch more music documentaries, click here.

For many years, our place in the universe was the subject of theologians and philosophers, not scientists, but in 1960 a man changed all that.Dr. Frank Drake was one of the references in the new science of radio astronomy, when he did something that was not only revolutionary, but it could have cost him the race. He worked at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Virginia in Greenback, said one of his new radio telescopes 25 meters to a star called Tau Ceti twelve years Earth light, hoping for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence.Although Project Ozma was silent, which led to one of the most influential equations in the history of science – the Drake Equation – which examined the seven key elements necessary for ET intelligence exists, since the formation of stars the probable duration that a particular intelligent civilization can survive. When Frank and his colleagues entered the numbers, the equation suggested that there was a surprising 50,000 civilizations capable of communicating across the galaxy.However, in the 50 years of hearing that followed, not a single beep is heard from ET. This Drake and his followers wrong and no way of life out there able to communicate? Drake's own calculations suggest that would have to analyze the radio spectrum of ten million stars to make contact. But what the equation and the search for life science has done isfocus on some of the other questions about life in the universe, biogenesis specifically, the development of multicellular life and the development of intelligence itself.The answers to these questions suggest that, far from being a one, life can not only be common in the universe, but once started will inevitably lead to intelligent life.To learn more about the influence of the equation, Campbell Dallas will travel around the world to meet scientists who have dedicated their lives to focus on its different aspects.

For 13 years, Timothy Treadwell spent his summers on the peninsula of Alaska, living among the wild bears in the last five years, recording his life there. His winters were spent visiting elementary schools and making appearances on television, in an effort to educate people about the status of the animals he loved. This continued until October 5, 2003, when Treadwell and his girlfriend were attacked and killed by a bear.Using images of Treadwell, as well as interviews with friends, family and local authorities, the director Werner Herzog crafts a fascinating documentary about his favorite themes: obsession, madness, and man's place in nature. Herzog, who plays an active role in the film, identifies with Treadwell, even though their world views are at opposite ends of the spectrum.Addressing the camera, Treadwell, who had no formal training with animals, he saw himself as a "kind warrior" who was there to protect the bears from poachers, developers and others who would do them harm. But others saw him as a deluded crackpot, suffering at least from a naivete about her role in the lives of bears. (When waxes poetic Treadwell on a pile of fresh bear dung, it is difficult not to agree with them) … (Barnes & Noble)

With its seemingly endless supply of beautiful young, single women, Odessa, on the frontier of the ex-Soviet union, is fast becoming the seedy new tourist magnet for single American men of all ages."I'm already too old for the men here… Getting a man here is very competitive, because there are so few of them." In a city where women outnumber men almost five to four, Julia's situation is typical of many. Following an abusive marriage she signed up with one of the many local agencies that offer the chance to be paired up with hopefuls from abroad. Paying upwards of three and a half thousand dollars, men from across the globe travel to Odessa in the hope of meeting beautiful young women. But despite accusations of being little more than a legalised pimping service, clients such as Arthur, a 65 year-old veteran of six romance tours, have no qualms with the service they offer. "It's like purchasing a very nice used Cadillac," he explains. "I need to drive it before I make a decision about taking it home and putting it in my garage." But for the women who don't get picked it's frequently a case of disappointment and heartbreak. "It feels like we're goods in a market," explains Julia. "No one there looks inside our hearts."

In the summer of 1939, Albert Einstein was on holiday in a small tourist town on the tip of Long Island. His quiet summer, however, was about to be destroyed by a visit from an old friend and colleague from his years in Berlin. The visitor was the physicist Leo Szilard. Einstein had been said they feared the Nazis could soon be in possession of a terrible new weapon and that something must be done. Szilard believed that recent scientific breakthroughs meant it was possible to convert mass into energy. And this could be used to make a bomb. If this happens, it would be a terrible realization of the law of nature Einstein had discovered some 34 years earlier. September 1905 was Einstein's "miracle year". While working as a patent clerk in the Swiss capital of Bern Einstein submitted a three-page supplement to the theory of relativity, published earlier this year. In these pages is derived from the most famous equation of all time, e = mc ², energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.The equation showed that mass and energy are related and which could, in theory, becomes the other. But because the speed of light squared is a number so large that means that even a small amount of mass could be a huge amount of energy. Since the discovery of radioactivity in the 19th century, scientists had realized that the atomic nucleus can contain a large amount of energy. Einstein's revolutionary equation were shown for the first time, how much there was."

Nobody knows whether they exist or not but the speculations and theories prove that this kind of alien creatures are most likely to occur anywhere in the universe.

Greys are typically depicted as dark grey-skinned diminutive humanoid beings that possess reduced forms of, or completely lack, external human organs such as noses, ears or sex organs.

In a sincere, personal documentary, Sir Terry Pratchett, the author considers how you can choose to end his life.Diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2008, Terry wants to know if he might be able to end his life before his illness takes over.Traveling to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland, Terry witnessed first hand the procedures established for an assisted death, and faces to the point where that would take the lethal drug.Sir Terry Pratchett has made an emotional plea the right to take his own life, saying: I live in hope that you can jump before I pushedUnfortunately, however, I also found the self-deception: in cafes, restaurants and streets, the vast majority of people I talked to wanted desperately to believe that it was too late and that, surely, the South will never leave the union. It will. This is a short dialogue by Terry and the full interview will be uplifted once it becomes available to us.

This means that even lower levels of life, there is a deep consciousness or awareness that all things Bond. Published in 1973, The Secret Life of Plants was written by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. It is described as "a fascinating account of the physical relationships, emotional and spiritual between plants and man." Basically, the theme of the book is the idea that plants can be sensitive, despite their lack of a nervous system and brain. This sensitivity is seen mainly through changes in the conductivity of the ground, as through a polygraph, as pioneered by Cleve Backster.The book also contains a summary of Goethe's theory of the metamorphosis of plants. That said, this book is much more than just plants, but also delves deeply into topics such as aura, psychophysics, orgone, radionics, Kirlian photography, magnetism/ magnetotropism, bioelectrics, dowsing, and the history of science. It was the basis for the 1979 documentary of the same name, especially with a soundtrack recorded by Stevie Wonder.

The historian Tristram Hunt explores how Protestantism has affected the lives of people in the Protestant revolution. This is a story of a revolution that has affected all people in the West, and almost every country in the world. It is a revolution that affects the very structure of existence – what we do to live, who we vote, we're going to war and how we see ourselves as individuals and as nations. The series investigates the scientific, cultural, economic and political movement with the help of leading academic witnesses, and concludes that the scope of Protestantism is so profound that it is impossible to imagine the modern world without it. The series explores how the revolutionary nature of the reform shaped the world we live in today, modern art of war in Iraq. When Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door at Wittenberg, he unleashed a revolution in thinking and events that have both amazed and horrified him.Of modern capitalism to the nuclear family form, Protestantism has shaped the Western world in its image, and this is the dramatic story of how and why this happened. Tristan says: "Now that the traditional culture of Protestantism has fallen in the UK, which wanted to show how an elemental force that this religion has been in shaping our modern world." Of the books we read, political parties vote, the way we live and love, the Protestant revolution continues to resonate. "As Britain struggles with its sense of national identity and the forces of evangelical Protestantism growing worldwide understanding of that faith, its meaning and legacy seems more vital than ever."

This guy was deeply plugged into the machinery of the universe, to an extent no-one has since been. His entire life revolved around maths. If he were alive today he would be diagnosed with aspergers, but he had fully productive aspergers.He was quite eccentric, and never really owned his own house, he made most of his money by placing bets on mathematical problems with his friends, travelled the world all his life flying from university to university, and gave out awards for people who solved hard mathematical problems he set them.A curious fact about Paul is that he was a daily user of amphetamine in his later years. After his mother's death in 1971, Erdös became quite depressed. His physician prescribed amphetamines. Erdös took Benzedrine or Ritalin almost every day for the last twenty five years of his life. Sometimes he took both. Long-term use of amphetamines often exacerbates depression. When used chronically, too, amphetamines usually induce stereotyped thought and behaviour rather than creativity. But Paul Erdös seems to be an exception.He felt living on speed helped him to create maths. At an age when most mathematicians have long since burnt out, his output was certainly prodigious. Strong dopaminergic drugs also tend to provoke or exacerbate obsessive-compulsive behaviour. Here their effect on Erdös may be more typical. Erdös hated to be touched; and he washed his hands some 50 times a day.Colleagues worried that Erdös might have become addicted. In 1979, he accepted a $500 bet from his friend Ronald Graham. Graham challenged Erdös to abstain from speed for 30 days. Erdös met the challenge, but his output sank dramatically. Erdös felt the progress of mathematics had been held up by a stupid wager. In an article by Paul Hoffman published in November 1987, Atlantic Monthly profiled Erdös and discussed his Benzedrine habit. Erdös liked the article, "except for one thing...You shouldn't have mentioned the stuff about Benzedrine. It's not that you got it wrong. It's just that I don't want kids who are thinking about going into mathematics to think that they have to take drugs to succeed."

What if in the distant realms of our galaxy there is a planet similar to ours where life can exist?Using the latest technology and telescopes, scientists are exploring the outer reaches of our solar system, searching for life, and reexamining how they perceive life on other planets. This documentary shows us the sights and sounds of distant worlds, as astrobiologists explain how life could exist on them. With the most modern telescopes, scientists are now seeing more complex ecosystems on our neighbouring planets than they had thought to exist. Vast salt water oceans, active volcanoes and molecules that could start life are present in many of the planets. Could life be starting on other planets? Is a primitive form of life that once was the beginning of humans now possibly active on other planets? We may not be alone.

All creatures of nature, the British novelist Graham Swift once wrote, are joined for the express purpose of nature. And this is illustrated with charming detail and sometimes dizzying nature of sex.Birds, bees, and even barnacles and naked mole rats are forced to join forces to reproduce and pass on their genes to the next generation. From the sea horse that fits into a hypnotic underwater ballet to the rodent who copulates until they literally drop dead, the nature of sex spreads around the world to illustrate how an astonishing diversity of life forms find their mates and conceive, raise and protect their young.This Web companion to the four-part series takes a close look at the primal instinct that causes animals to come together to pass on their genes to the next generation. We also examined how time can be key in the mating process, and the variety of contracts for sex not only create a new life, but the diversity in both animals and humans.

Confucius had a hard life, and he had intimate knowledge of the sufferings of his people. He lived in an era that saw constant warfare between competing warlords and the casting of shadows upon the impressive Chinese civilization that came before. Confucius wanted above all else to change Chinese society of his time and to rescue his nation and her people from the suffering and misery that stalked the land at that time. He was the son of an elderly great warrior and his concubine, and he apparently inherited the unbecoming looks of his father.After his father's death, he and his mother were rejected by the family, but great poverty did not stop Confucius from constantly seeking to learn and grow. In time, he started a school and welcomed students of all means, from the sons of leaders to the sons of penniless workers, teaching the importance of hard work, education for all, and a disregard for class and wealth in the measure of a man.He dreamed of finding a leader who would take him on as his advisor and, in this manner, bring about the great changes to society which he sought. For a time, he served as the governor of his home province and, for a few short years, put his teachings into practice with much success. He attracted enemies, though, and soon found himself wandering the countryside in exile.He kept seeking a leader who could save China, but Confucius' truth did not appeal to those capable of instituting change in society. He died thinking his great mission was a failure, never knowing just how immense an influence he would have on future generations of men and women, particularly those in Asia.

Divya Cowasji, co-director of the film stated: "I am a documentary filmmaker and photographer based out of Mumbai, Delhi and Mhow. My co-director Shilpi and I are delighted to present our new documentary project in collaboration with the Public Service Broadcasting Trust and the Public Diplomacy Division of the Ministry of External Affairs".This documentary is researching the historical backdrop of the group of Parsi, their association with the Indian state and affiliation and with the city of Mumbai. It endeavors to comprehend the religious beliefs of the Zoroastrian, and the theory to live, laugh and love, which is the foundation of the Parsi lifestyle, and what makes it so endearingly special and darling. As the group is tormented with tensions over its diminishing numbers, it takes a gander at current civil arguments on issues of inter-faith marriage. All in all, it is an endeavor to comprehend a group which has dependably been small in number, yet, impressive from the cultural and social aspect.If you want to watch more religion related documentaries, click here.

I am pregnant almost due any day. I am also a working mommy. Plan on breast feeding for as long as I can. Pumping at work and taking it to grandma to feed my lil guy. I was wondering does freezing breast milk affect its nutrition? I haven't found much online plan on asking my doctor and lactation consultant once I have my son
does freezing breast milk affect its nutrition

As far as I understand, freshly expressed milk has the highest level of beneficial properties, and freezing does appear to destroy some components but it is still much better than formula. I prefer to have DH feed LO whatever I pumped the day before (only refrigerated) and only freeze extra. Then we only dip into the frozen supply as back up.

Thank you I plan on doing the same but didn't know the best way to go about that.... As long as I pump every 2 hours my pumped supply will be the same as he consumes?

This article from the Dr. Sears site says freezing may lower some of the immunological properties.
Posted 10/25/2012
Freezing kills off a lot of the good bacteria, but it still contains more healthy components than formula. There is a big chart with figures, I think Human MIlk 4 Human Babies put it out. Check their site, I will look for it when I have a chance.

Provided your LO isn't overfed from bottle feeding while away from you, most likely your pumping output should correspond with the baby's needs. Bf babies typically consume anywhere from 19-30 oz per day, and as a rule should only be given 1-1.25oz per hour away from mom. This prevents overfeeding and protects your supply. Keep bottles to 3-4 oz max and encourage your caregiver to do paced feedings. There is a lot of good info on bottle feeding a breastfed baby online. Kellymom.com is a wonderful resource. Another thing to note is that bf babies milk consumption doesn't typically increase after the first month, it generally stays pretty consistent since the milk itself changes nutritionally to meet the needs of your baby.

Any "natural" advice on pumping? I am not getting too much milk out. Enough for now but her feeding are up to 2.5ml every hour & they hope to get up to 5 soon so then I will have a problem & dont think I will have enough milk.
Help with pumping
How often are you pumping? The more you pump the more you'll make. It's a drag, but it does work that way. Also, how's the fit of the flanges? If they are too tight they can pinch and restrict the milk. HTH
Aidan Christopher ~ the most precious thing on this earth, came to us December 14, 2008~ 2 lbs. 8 oz., 15 inches. 5:32 am. Our Miracle!
Lots of breast massage while pumping
Lots of water
Pump at your baby's bedside if possible
Pump after Kangaroo Care (I always got a lot more after this)
Get sleep (I know-very, very difficult. But rest really helps)
Meet with the lactation specialists in your NICU ASAP! They are awesome and can help you get on track
Pump at least every 3 hours. They wanted me to pump 8 times a day. Sometimes I would pump closer to every 2 hours so I could sleep a little longer stretch at night.
Eat well (I know-again difficult to think about yourself)
That's about all I can think of. Keep it up. Your milk will come. How old is your baby?
Mommy to 4 beautiful kids
DS (38 weeks), DD (36 weeks), DS (34 weeks), DD (28 weeks)
I am pumping every 2hrs for 10min. I was using the longer flanges but tried the shorter ones (24mm) and noticed getting about 1ml less milk with the shorter ones then the long ones.
I started doing the massage part & its help some. Getting better on drinking water but yet dont notice too much of a difference as of yet. Pumping at bedside I havent tried so maybe I should ask about it. Kangaroo Care, the nurse asked if I got more milk after that but stil was about the same. Sleeping & Eating trying to get better at. But always running around between home, work & hospital. I met with the Lactation Nurse & she suggested Fengreek (spelling?), have to stop by the store & pick some up. My sweetheart is 13 days today.
It took me a while to build my supply after my baby was born.
I agree with PP's find the NICU lactation consultant ASAP!! They have all sorts of tricks. For me I found I needed to drink at least 64oz of water each day. Also I started pumping more when I was able to relax while I pumped. For me it helped to be distracted by being on my laptop or watching tv. We had private NICU rooms and I stayed in my baby's room for the 6 weeks he was there so I always technically pumped bedside. Kangaroo care never did much for my milk supply, even though it works great for some people. I'd say give it another week and if it still hasn't come up, you might want to ask about prescription drugs to up your supply (before you miss your window of opportunity).

How many times a day are you pumping and what type of pump are you using?
What is your supply like now? What is your output at each pumping session and total for the day?
It is critical that you pump at least 8 to 10 times a day with a very good double electric pump. If you are not, you need to start. The only way to establish a full supply is to pump at least 8 to 10 times each day. I always aimed for 9. Every 2 hours during the day, a bit longer at night.
Pumping constanly is hard work but it is what is necessary to provide breastmilk to your baby.
Fenugreek is a great way to booster your supply but I'd run it by your baby's docs first. In addition, while it does work well, it is not going to help a ton unless you are pumping frequently. The more frequently you empty the breast, the more milk your body will make.

ITA about reading kellymom.com and seeing your NICU lactation consultant asap! They can determine the best flange fit, which will help your production. Also, you might think about using Motherlove More Milk plus to help up your output. I started using it when Jack was in the hospital in conjunction with Goats Rue (sidenote, dont use Goats Rue unless you are desperate, it works wonders, but can also cause mastitis.) and was producing up to 70oz a day when pumping with a Medela Symphony.
mama to Toby 8/9/05, 36 weeks, Jack 03/08/08, 32 weeks
To err is human, to moo is bovine.
Lecithin to prevent blocked milk ducts and help with flow; fenugreek to increase production. Worked for me! Also, take a break between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. It's not much, but you need at least 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night to pump. Too exhausting! I agree, pump every 2-3 hours during the day.
Good luck with pumping!
I pumped for 8 weeks and finally, I just couldnt take it anymore, my nipples were sore, cracked, and bleeding and it just hurt so bad. I used the cream everytime, but it still was so painful. I met with the Lactation lady many times and finally the last night she actually said, "ok i dont know how you do it, we have tried everything, and in most cases women like you, just give up" lol so i eventually stopped and feel so much better. Im really happy i was able to supply breast milk for my preemie (26 weeker) for the first 2 months of her life...but i have come to terms that i did my best and now shes on Enfacare formula and doing great!
Good luck!
Mommy to my former 26 weeker- DD Felicity (4) and my termie- DS Xander (1)
Take baby blankets in (if NICU ok's) ---- let them use them for 2 days....then take home - some people the smell helps w/letdown. put it arround you shoulders (like a scarf).
Pictures of baby where you pump...or I pumped in his room at night.
I agree with the 6 hr sleep post above...supply went up!
I'm also big on being distracted. You might want to try some 20 min sessions. Also change the settings while pumping. I can only handle a low/med setting for about 3 min - then I can turn it up higher. If you have PIS try adding in the letodwn button every 4-7 min.
I sit with a nursing cover in my family room. After bedrest I couldn't go hide in a bedroom - so I pumped in the family room - even w/family in town!

Product description
Jackie Malone has been murdered. Her body lies in a pool of blood in the north London flat where she worked as a prostitute. Deep knife wounds have been gouged into her corpse and her hands and feet are tied with coat hanger wire. For Detective Inspector Jack Delaney this is no ordinary case. He was a friend of Jackie's and she left desperate messages on his answer phone just hours before she was killed. Despite no immediate leads and no obvious suspects, the fear in her voice tells him that this was not a random act of violence.Just as Delaney begins his investigation, a young girl is reported missing, feared abducted, and he is immediately tasked with finding her. Delaney knows he must act quickly if there is any chance of finding her alive, but he is also determined to track down Jackie's killer before the trail goes cold. However, his tough and uncompromising attitude has made him some powerful enemies on the force, and Delaney soon finds that this case may provide the perfect opportunity for them to dispose of him, once and for all.

This is but one of a slew of clever road-side signs readers have sent in, in response to my appeal for photos earlier this week. This one is from Shear Perfection Salon on Brambleton Avenue, across from The Coffee Pot. Sonia Vest, who works at the salon, emailed it.
The days of the wonderful, and serial Burma Shave signs on America's prairie are mostly long past. But that doesn't mean wit and humor doesn't crop up on signs here and there, including in the Roanoke Valley.
There's been plenty of outrage expressed over tax increases Roanoke City Council approved during its meeting Monday afternoon. To recap, council raised:
Note from Dan: Below is a press release from Public Citizen. The bill in question also applies to Appalachian Power Co. For more on this issue see my Feb. 12 column. To see how your senators and delegates voted on this bill, click here.
Out of the mouths of babes often comes some sublime stuff. But other times what you hear is pure idiocy.
Last week, the Virginia Senate passed Senate Bill 1349, sponsored by Sen. Frank Wagner, R-Virginia Beach. And on Thursday afternoon, the House of Delegates followed suit.
It's the time of year, folks, when we haul out the vinegar and sip from it slowly while contemplating glaring stupidity.

I had interesting conversations Tuesday night with two officials from the University of Maryland Police Department. One answered the central question — why? — regarding the ejections of me and one of my friends from our 10th-row seats at the Maryland-Michigan State game Saturday night in College Park. We were there for an annual fall reunion with of a bunch of old pals from our college days.
Note from Dan: Below is the letter I sent Sunday night to the University of Maryland Police, after I and a friend were unjustly ejected from the Maryland-Michigan State game in College Park Saturday night. So far there has been no response -- not even an acknowledgement they have received it.
One thing we've heard ad nauseum about since August is the Ebola crisis. You could barely turn around without hearing about it — on TV and talk radio, in newspapers, and especially on outlandish "news" websites that cater to conspiracy freaks, such as Joseph Farah's World Net Daily (or WND.com) and Alex Jones's Infowars.
Every now and then, TheRoanokeStar.com has an interesting article. And in the most recent edition of the twice-a-month weekly, I found an utterly fascinating one.
After Tuesday night's great GOP takeover of the U.S. Senate, one of my regular correspondents in the gun crowd sent me an email with one interesting point, and an interesting prediction.
Three high-pressure natural gas pipelines that would cross large swaths of Virginia have been proposed in recent weeks. Two — the Mountain Valley and Western Marcellus pipelines — would pass through the Roanoke Valley on their way to Chatham. The Atlantic Coast pipeline would cross the commonwealth well north of Roanoke and end in Portsmouth.
Unlike the Virginia Senate snoozer campaign that incumbent Sen. Mark Warner (D) seems destined to walk away with, our neighboring state of North Carolina has a real battle on its hands.
Note from Dan: Carol Noesner lives in Moneta. I responded to her that I was disinclined to do a column on this subject at this time, and referred her to state reforestation regulations. Nonetheless it's an interesting subject that I've heard a lot about over the years. Besides that, I've never heard the term "Franklinian." I thought it was Franklinstein!
Happy Halloween season everybody!
Note from Dan: For the background on this, see yesterday's post here.
Remember the fun we had over the summer with room-to-let in Wasena ad: Badass Roommate Wanted, Must Love Beer?
If you're a Comcast customer who is employed, you might want to think twice before waging a campaign of complaints about bad service with the cable company.
Big news here, folks: The U.S. Supreme Court has turned down five appeals of lower-court rulings that legalized same-sex marriage.
Nancy Dye's home, Rockledge Mansion, is probably better-known around town than she is. High on a cliff, just below the Mill Mountain Star, it's the most visible residence in the Roanoke Valley. Its driveway is also a city greenway, which leads scores of walkers, runners and cyclists past it every week.
If you read yesterday's post about News Guardians' infatuation with Tuesday's column, you might have noticed a familiar name missing: Chip Tarbutton.
Thank you News Guardians!
You often hear the adage "the devil's in the details." A prime example is occurring on Capitol Hill right now.

Remember Larry Dodson? He's the Roanoke man paralyzed from the chest down who, back in April, was arrested by four Roanoke County police officers for riding his electric scooter the wrong way on Electric Road. They also charged him with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Here is how it used to be: Decades and decades ago, somebody got the bright idea to pay a big business to locate in their locality. But for that brainstorm, the humorously named town Big Lick might never have changed its name to Roanoke, a Native American word that basically meant money. That happened after some town fathers bribed the Western Railroad to build its new shops here.

Sonya Fallen Angel Reviews
5 Angels! This is the third book in Michelle M. Pillow's Divinity Warriors series and it is by far one of her best fantasy romances. Keeping Paige is an explosive hot romance that I could not put down.... Ms. Pillow gives the readers what they are asking for in a fantasy romance and so much more. Keeping Paige is a story readers should not miss. I loved Keeping Paige and I cannot wait to see what will happen next in this fabulous series."

International Human Resources Development Corp ReviewsInternational Human Resources Development Corp 7
"Family-owned and operated company with good senior management and old-school traditions/values "
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I have been working at International Human Resources Development Corp full-time (More than a year)RecommendsPositive OutlookRecommendsPositive Outlook
Bottom line, this place is a comfortable, friendly place for a traditional 9-5 cubicle job, with decent pay, caring management and good coworker relationships. Strikes me as a great place for someone who wants to work the same job till they retire at 65 (aka an ideal company 60 years ago).
Each of the three major business units are overseen by a son/daughter of the founder and current President. I've heard good and bad things about the various BU and lesser department heads (more good than bad in general), but for my part working directly for Tim Donohue under the eLS Business Unit, I can say that I am very happy with my boss. He is smart and capable of discussing/understanding technical ideas, while still being largely hands off and willing to place trust in employees. He maintains a professional but relaxed atmosphere.
The Donohue family as a whole seems to be very community-oriented, which shows in the way they treat and care about their employees. Having come in from a cut-throat startup atmosphere, I found this very impressive.
The coworkers are great too. There's definitely a younger and older generation, but there's plenty of independent coworker hangouts and friendships that reflect the friendly nature of the group as a whole. Generally a well-educated workforce, many PhDs and technical competence. There are pockets of employees around the world, in Nigeria, Malaysia, Argentina, the UK, all of whom work with us at the main office.
The company is well-established in the industry, and in terms of its own culture. There are maybe 50-80 people in the Boston office spread between two floors. I know and work with maybe half of them on at least an occasional basis, and closer to a dozen on a regular basis.
In terms of culture/benefits/policies, most seems to be traditional by-the-book, but a bit more generous:
- Two weeks off a year.
- Matching on the 401k after a year
- Two personal days a year. separate from sick days
- 8:30-5pm, 7.5 hour workday (early days on the day before holidays/holiday weekends)
Flexible hours and remote work are generally discouraged but still occur, depending on the employees role and who your manager is, etc.
Legitimate work-life balance. This is not a startup where you're expected to put in 12 hours a day. You are expected to perform within the boundaries of a 7.5 hour workday, and the President has the mindset that overworked employees are unproductive. Plenty of employees have families/kids, and there is plenty of flexibility around scheduling conflicts, etc.
There are some downsides to the old-school mentality. Office formal is the way to go, though non-customer facing men can get away with not wearing ties during the summer months. Don't expect to wear jeans on Fridays though!
The pace of progress is slow, and key decisions are handled by the Donohue family. This is not a company to become personally invested in, unless its as a loyal employee following the leadership of the family. Don't expect to come in here and run the place, even if you've got the talent for it. However, this does seem like the sort of place you could build a long-term career at, so long as your happy remaining largely at your station.
I've been here less than two years, so I'm unsure of the usual MO, but my last salary increase was less than current inflation. I was hired at a fair salary (that I actually proposed), so I will withhold judgement on this till more time has passed and I've made a request for a larger raise (it's also worth noting that I didn't request a salary increase, the one I got was automatic).
Advice to Management
They do most things right. My suggestion is that, as a company with a heavy focus on computer technology, that they work on embracing the modern work culture that has developed in that industry. By this I mean taking into serious consideration their company-wide policy on remote work opportunities, flexible hours, casual dress, all the other perks familiar to Google/Facebook/startup employees.
Separately, I'd recommend a focus on hiring technically competent middle management for the eLS and CMS business units. There are a lot of frontline designers and developers being managed by people who are simply not experienced in how to effectively manage those kinds of projects. They affect morale and lead to poor project outcomes that could be avoided by a manager more experienced in software projects.
There's concern from long-term employees about the future of the company after the President and founder steps down. There are some who believe that the children of the founder intend to cash out on the business and move on, and others who believe that they will try to keep it going but won't succeed. I'm in no position to judge either way though.

We had the pleasure of hosting Bruce Sallan (author of "A Dad's Point of View," host of the Bruce Sallan Show and founder of #DadChat on Twitter) during our last Save Time, Save Money Twitter Chat, as well as on our Save Time Save Money Saturday Hangout. Not only did Bruce have great tips about Father's Day gifts, he also shared passion and insight about celebrating family and the importance of the people in our lives. Here's a mashup of everything we discussed.
Q1 Poor dad often gets left to the last minute on #FathersDay. What are some of the bad/ugly gifts you've seen over the years?
By far, the worst gift for Father's Day is to forget and not celebrate the moment at all, Bruce said. This is an occasion to stop and cherish how much you love your Dad. It really doesn't matter what the gift is, whether it's a wonky ashtray, a goofy looking necktie, or something that you created with your time, talent, and own two hands – what matters is that you let Dad know how much you love him.
Bruce's father died years ago, and every Father's Day is a reminder of how much he'd love just a few more hours with his dad. The stuff is disposable – it's the love and relationships that matter most, Bruce said.
Q2 What were some of the best #FathersDay gifts you received from your kids?
Bruce's most cherished Father's Day gifts are the things his sons have created for him. His oldest son is a musician and has written several songs for him over the years. His younger son is an artist, and for every Father's Day, Birthday, or other occasion, he has given Bruce a comic strip. Bruce said those are the gifts every dad really loves best – the gifts that his children created from their hearts to express their love and appreciation for Dad.
Q3 If Dad is difficult to shop for, what would you say are the bullet-proof gift options for #FathersDay?
Dad can be a little thick sometimes, Bruce said. If you want to be sure that you've picked out something that he will appreciate and enjoy, there isn't anyone that knows Dad better than his spouse. If you're ever in doubt when shopping for a Father's Day gift, go ask Mom for help. Aside from that, pay attention to Dad all year long. It's easy to pick up on the things Dad loves if you are sharing his hobbies with him.
Q4 What would you recommend for moms & kids who want to get crafty for #FathersDay?
The things that we cherish most are the photos, videos, and things written by our kids, Bruce said. A great gift for dad would be to create a special video of you singing a song. Photo books and picture frames also make great personalized gifts.
Check out the video below for information about a DIY Father's Day Journal.
Q5 If we would rather do something special with Dad instead of a gift, what would you suggest?
Dad loves food, Bruce said. Put some burgers or steaks on the grill, and enjoy spending time with Dad. As kids get older, they are wired to grow away from their parents, Bruce said. Our kids biologically need their independence from us. So, when there's an occasion for it, time spent with the family is such a gift. Cook out, take a road trip, watch a game together.
Q6 Any tips for gifts for grandpa, brother, husband … other dads in our lives?
Take the time to show them your love, Bruce said. Fun crafts and activities are absolutely appropriate for Grandpa and the other dads in our lives.
Bruce also had a great deal to say about being the best parent you can be. He said you're not supposed to be your child's best friend, but you should be their best parent. Your kids may have your DNA, but they are not you. They may not share your passions for sports or music or any number of other things. You need to encourage your kids to explore the gifts and talents they love.
For more dad wisdom from Bruce Sallan, please be sure to watch our hangout. You can find updates on topics, guests and timing on our Facebook, Twitter and Google+ accounts.

(Incidentally, the Hulk wins as the superhero Americans would turn to first in case of an alien invasion.)More on GlobalPost: E.T. tweet homePolitico noted that the survey also found that 79 percent of respondents believed the government had kept information about UFOs secret. And Hollywood should consider its job done, because 55 percent believe agents like Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones' characters in "Men in Black" actually exist.
