SPSU hosts CDC Health Game Jam Sept. 20-22
SPSU hosts CDC Health Game Jam Sept. 20-22
SEPT. 6, 2013 – It's time for SPSU to host another fall game jam, but this time, the action will focus on the creation of games featuring health issues addressed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The first CDC Health Game Jam will take place Sept 20-22, and approximately 200 gaming enthusiasts have registered so far.
The 48-hour gaming marathon is sponsored by the Games for Health Project, a joint venture of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Pioneer Portfolio, CDC and the Georgia Game Developers Association (GGDA), SPSU's School of Computing and Software Engineering and the university's Center for Applied Gaming and Media Arts.
A game jam is a gathering where game developers and programmers plan, design and produce games in a tight timeframe. The focus of the CDC Health Game Jam is to create games that address large-scale health priorities championed by the CDC such as disease prevention, outbreak investigation and healthy living. Participants will gather for a briefing in the J Building at 5 p.m. on Fri., Sept. 20, divide into teams and then will have until late Sunday afternoon to complete their creations.
CDC experts on health topics like viruses, obesity, safety and more will be available to advise and inspire the teams. Professional game developers and health-oriented developers/investors will judge the games, giving participants a valuable opportunity to put their work in front of potential employers and mentors. The winning team will be offered a four-week fully paid internship at the CDC to learn more about public health and government and to further develop the winning game for potential release in December 2013.
The best games produced during the game jam will be demonstrated at the seventh annual Southern Interactive Entertainment and Game Expo (SIEGE) that brings together professionals from across the region to celebrate the world of gaming. SIEGE will be hosted by the GGDA on Oct. 3-6 in Atlanta.
More details about the CDC Health Game Jam are available at www.spsugames.blogspot.com.

Great Salt :)

I really like the taste of this salt, I prefer it to fleur de sal. I'd call it a mellow salt. I sprinkle it directly on food and it really brings out the flavor of the food without being over bearing. Of course, you can't put taste into words, so all I can say is it's worth trying:)

Enderson Araújo is so afraid of being killed by police that he fled his home and is reluctant to talk on the telephone for fear he is being bugged.]]>
New York, June 9, 2014--As journalists gather in Brazil to cover the FIFA World Cup, one of the most watched sports events in the world, the Committee to Protect Journalists released the Portuguese version of its journalist security guide. The guide covers a wide variety of safety practices for journalists, from covering violent conflicts to basic preparedness and digital security.]]>
CPJ board member María Teresa Ronderos and CPJ Senior Program Coordinator Carlos Lauría traveled to Brasilia this month to launch a new special report, "Halftime for the Brazilian press," and met with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, as well as other high-level government officials. CPJ also presented President Rousseff with the report's recommendations.
Brazil is home to a vibrant investigative press, but journalists are murdered regularly and their killers go free, CPJ's report found. Brazil is the 11th deadliest country in the world for journalists, and at least 10 have been killed in direct reprisal for their work since President Rousseff came to power, CPJ research shows.]]>
"The federal government is fully committed to continue fighting against impunity in cases of killed journalists," Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff told a CPJ delegation during a meeting on Tuesday in Brasilia, the country's political capital. Accepting that deadly violence against the media is a detriment to freedom of the press, Rousseff said her administration will implement a mechanism to prevent deadly attacks, protect journalists under imminent risk, and support legislative efforts to federalize crimes against freedom of expression.]]>
Brazil is home to vibrant media, but journalists are regularly murdered with impunity and critical journalists are subject to legal actions that drain resources and censor important stories. During the 2014 World Cup, this contradiction will be on vivid display. Does Dilma Rousseff's administration have the will and determination to beat back impunity and end legal harassment, allowing press freedom to thrive? A special report by the Committee to Protect Journalists]]>
By Joel Simon
For a long time, Brazil has been fighting to overcome its contradictions. The country features a dynamic, modern, and diverse economy—and some of the worst poverty in the hemisphere. It has been led by two successive Socialist governments, and yet retains one of the most skewed income distributions in the world.]]>
By Carlos Lauría
Since June 2013, Brazil has been the scene of sporadic but huge anti-government demonstrations that have brought millions to the streets to protest an array of grievances, from fare increases for public transport to corruption and the use of public funds to host the coming soccer World Cup. The protests sometimes turned violent; a cameraman was killed in February 2014. Throughout the demonstrations, dozens of journalists have been detained, harassed, and attacked by law enforcement and by protesters irked by some media treatment of the demonstrations.]]>
By Fernando Rodrigues
The street protests in Brazil in June 2013 received extensive news coverage. However, for the first time in years, attacks against journalists and media organizations also became a frequent topic in the press.]]>
By Sara Rafsky
When the World Cup kicks off in Brazil in June, the government of President Dilma Rousseff will be celebrating the country's emergence as a global powerhouse. The event, to be staged at sites across the country, will put the nation's vast and diverse territory on display, unlike the Olympics, which Brazil is hosting two years later in just one city, Rio de Janeiro. While the 2012 murder of a local soccer journalist in central-western Goiânia may run counter to the official narrative of success, it reflects the disparate realities of a country as immense as Brazil, and depicts a darker side of "the beautiful game."]]>

$19.99 After $4 OFF
trunature® Triple Strength Omega-3, 150 Softgels
Item #519673
Maximum strength for cardiovascular health†
- 900 mg Omega-3 per softgel
- Enteric coating supports proper absorption and helps avoid fishy after taste
- Meg 3 Quality
- Molecularly distilled to ensure purity and potency
American Heart Association recommends patients with documented coronary heart disease (CHD) to consume about 1 gram of EPA+DHA per day and patients who need to lower triglycerides to consume 2 to 4 grams of EPA+DHA per day with the care of a physician†.
Enteric coating supports proper absorption of the fish oils by placing a protective barrier over the softgel that does not dissolve in the stomach, allowing the nutrients a safe-passage through the acidic stomach environment. The enteric coating then breaks down and releases the Omega-3 fatty acids into the intestines. This is optimal as the intestines are the main "nutrient-absorption zone" for the body, transporting the fatty acids from the digestive tract into the blood vessels for their various roles around the body. The enteric coating also helps to eliminate the unpleasant fishy after taste associated with fish oil supplementation.
trunature® Triple Strength Omega-3 fish oil comes from deep ocean waters. Our fish oil is not supplied from farm raised fish. State of the art molecular distillation is used to remove PCBs1 and dioxins and furans2, which guarantees purity and potency. Mercury undetectable3.

Dear iandr413,
192.x.x.x is the IP address of the Sandbox (this Sandbox I've installed on a VM by using VMware workstation)
And I ssh from the host machine (which is my current machine running windows 8) to that VM ( 192.x.x.x ), and also when I want to access the web user interface to manage the Sandbox, it should be http://192.x.x.x :8888 for example.
I can see you're using Mac OS, 127.0.0.1 is localhost (which is your current machine and my machine address)
I'm a bit confused here. Could you tell me: did you install your Sandbox directly on your hard disk, let's say you are dual-booting with your Mac OS, or you're also using some kind of virtualization like VMware workstation or Virtualbox ?
Because theoretically, ssh to email@example.com doesn't make sense because you're ssh-ing your own machine rather than access the server you want to manage. Because you've already on your "127.0.0.1″ – there's no need to ssh to itself.
I guess there're some differences between how we set up our Sandbox. Yes?
Thank you
<sorry I double posted, I don't know how to remove the previous post>

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi State students, faculty and administrators agree: Professionals should write well, no matter what their discipline.
The university community is embracing a new culture, "Maroon & Write," which emphasizes the importance of writing, whether as part of education or as part of career. The initiative incorporates writing-to-learn strategies in university coursework, especially in classes not characteristically focused on writing.
Based on feedback from a group of forestry majors participating in a pilot writing-to-learn course during the fall 2013 semester, Maroon & Write enhanced their learning.
Professor Stephen Grado's forest resources survey class included several writing-to-learn strategies. Short, ungraded "freewrites" allowed students to respond to prompts in class, and they also kept journals exploring topics in assigned reading. For the first time, writing a formal essay was required.
"At first, I looked at all the writing as being annoying, but as we got into it, I learned so much more about my field," said senior Kelsey L. Nicholas of Marion, Ill. "It was so much more than grammar and syntax; it's about being able to write and communicate effectively."
Freshman Davis C. Pigg of Starkville said his learning was enhanced by researching and writing about what he studied.
"Writing more does help you learn," he said. "I liked having to go out and search for answers on my own. To get and retain the information when you look it up, you have to write it down.
"It's a very different way of learning, but I think it's very effective."
Mccuitson E. Wilson of Mount Juliet, Tenn., also a freshman, said he learned more because, instead of listening to lectures, he had to research topics and write about them.
"Instead of listening to someone else talk, I had to do it myself," Wilson said. "When you listen, you don't always learn. Writing adds a different aspect to the course; it adds to the learning experience."
Grado has taught the forest resources class for many years, and he said he plans to continue using Maroon & Write strategies during fall 2014 classes.
"I look at what these students learned, and they definitely knew more than the students who took the course without writing-to-learn," Grado said. "There was a lot of enjoyment; they really started to write a lot better than they had before."
Maroon & Write is MSU's quality enhancement plan, which will play a critical role in reaffirming accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, said accreditation liaison Tim Chamblee.
Also the director of MSU's Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness, Chamblee ensures the Maroon & Write initiative adheres to the principles of accreditation, he said.
"We have students writing in English classes as freshmen and not writing again until their senior year," Chamblee said. "We need to reinforce writing skills during all the time that leads up to the degree. Writing is something that's got to be practiced, and regardless of what people's careers are, they must have writing skills."
Chamblee said Maroon & Write was launched with the MSU administration's full support. During the 2011-12 academic year, the university community participated in a series of campus listening sessions organized by MSU leaders. The team then developed "Maroon & Write" to improve student learning through writing, regardless of the academic major or year in school.
"You will use writing to learn things your entire life," Chamblee said. "It's not for one class; it's to provide a life skill of how to learn. To have a successful career, you need to have good writing communication skills."

Favorite Fictional President? Harrison Ford in "Air Force One", but not for his policies. Historical President? James Garfield, but not for his policies. I just love his story. Read "Destiny of The Republic" by Candice Millard. Memorable moment covering a President? Impeachment trial of Bill Clinton and/or Grant Park in Chicago the night Barack Obama became the first African American President-elect and/or Ronald Reagan at the 40th anniversary of D-day at Point du Hoc. I could go on. It's just an incredible gig no matter who's in office. What is the most memorable commentary you've received from a superior? "Your brand is 'you are real'" -- former superior, anon. If you could only listen to one album? Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" Who Should Play You In the Movie? Good grief. No idea. Secret TV Pleasure and Fave political movie? Dexter. Movie? The Candidate. Favorite newsroom meal? Pretzels What time do you go to bed? As soon as I can. If left to my own devices with nothing to do the next morning, I am a total night owl, a 1 a.m. or 2 a.m. girl. Who do you look up to as a journalist? I am a huge fan of Dan Balz, Matt Bai, Lisa Myers, Andrea Mitchell, Peter Baker, Major Garrett. Favorite Debate I've Watched? Quayle v Bentsen or Palin v Biden. There is something so free about the VP debates. They're more fun. Model moderator? No such thing. Hollywood will have to come up with him/her. I've reviewed all but one of the previous debates over the past 5 cycles, not so much to study up on styles but to just get a comfort zone with the kind of things that go on. What will night before the debate will look like? It will look like an early evening. When covering Virginia politics would you rather spend a day with the candidates at The Homestead or Shad Planking? If it involves a meal, The Homestead because I'm a vegetarian. Otherwise, Shad Planking because it's got such a great vibe. Compare the Virginia Senate debate you did earlier this year with the upcoming Presidential debate? A lot more people will be watching. If you weren't a journalist what would you be doing? Running for Senate in Virginia. JUST KIDDING. I would be a homicide detective. (Not kidding) Advice in one sentence to graduates? Do not become a reporter unless you cannot imagine being anything else. Favorite moment so far in the election? Wednesday, November 7th. Finish this sentence: Today, I... talked with more people than I wanted to.
Don't Miss Today's Top Stories

How about the LA-1 bridge to Grand Isle and Fourchon?
Actually this flooding could be of some help to the marshes. We need to divert as much of this water through the marshes as possible so it can push out the salt water, drop sediment, and bring in nutrients into the marshes. The reason our marshes are getting worse every day is because there isn't enough fresh water coming in to push the salt water out. The salt water kills marsh plants and grasses and when they die it becomes just open sea.
The more we dredge the MS river delta and not put any of the sediment back into the marshes and just dump the sediment off the continental shelf we will continue to lose marshland. We need to take the sediment from the dredging and create more marshlands and also barrier islands. This will slow down the process and eventually reverse it but we have to start NOW!!!
Another thing we can do is build more diversions like Caernarvon and make it so that more of the river flows into the marshes like it should.
Because we do not want to overwhelm the system. If you opened all of the bays at once, you aren't allowing the spillway to react and adjust to that amount of water. You also want to make sure you aren't pushing too much water through the lake all at one time at first either. You have to give the levees enough time to make sure they are ok with the amount of water in the lake.
SIGNED SEALED DELIVERED, HE's F-**G YOURS! He is being a jerk and we do not need this on our team!
Actually you need to be a natural born citizen to be president not naturalized. If you are a naturalized citizen then you have taken the test to become a citizen and were not born here.
I swear!!! What the hell? Why does Jindal continue to be out of state when we are currently in a state of financial crisis here in Louisiana? This is just ridiculous.
For everyone to know, WLAE is not a radio station it is a tv broadcasting. the local channel 12 PBS station that is based in City Park near Delgado. This TV station offers great local programming as well as nationally syndicated content. The managers, like Peggy Scott Laborde, do everything they can to keep that station open and keep giving back great shows and educational content. They are a great resource for our children because of shows like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. I couldn't imagine growing up without these great icons of learning.
Also, WWNO is a wonderful public radio station. They provide unbiased news and updates on the state of the world. They also do more worldwide type programming and are also very educational. The classical music on the main station and the jazz on HD3 are amazing. I listen to them at work every day. You don't need an HD radio to listen to the sub stations. You can stream them online. For all of you haters of the constant pledge drives, they have to do this to stay on the air. The government keeps slashing their budget every year so they have to rely on you and me for donations to keep the great programming going. I am glad to donate whatever I can every year. It makes a difference. It is also a TAX DEDUCTION.
Please everyone get your facts straight before you post down right dumb comments on things you don't know much about.
If the health care law is unconstitutional because the government cannot force me to buy health insurance or pay a penalty if I don't then how in the hell can they force me to buy auto insurance or go to jail if I don't?
These lawsuits are so unfounded. People in this country are so afraid of change it just sickens me. We are one of the last countries in the world when it comes to our nation's health and healthcare. We must act now to make sure that future generations will be able to have everything that we have had. The cost of healthcare is out of control, this will make everything become a level playing field and it will become more affordable. Healthcare should not just be for the rich. Lest we forget what America was founded upon, LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!!!
I swear it was the f-ing Drew Brees show. No matter what all he did was throw the ball. We have Betts and Ivory and when they did get the ball they got good yardage. However 90% of the plays I saw was Drew throwing the ball. Where are the end-arounds, bubble screens, smoke screens, and good ole run up the middle plays we are used to seeing from this offense. Something is wrong in either Drew's or Payton's head. They need to commit to the run if we are going to win ball games from now on.
What's a little more oil right
I totally agree with this comment!
I happen to disagree with you on that one. A degree from Newcomb College was just as prestigious as one from Tulane. Many people knew the name of Newcomb before they were forced to close due to the scum working in Tulane's administration. Also it wasn't just a Women's College. Men were allowed to take classes their if they wanted to, just as women were allowed to take classes at Tulane.
As a person who's family graduated from Tulane University and Newcomb College, I heartily agree that they should bring back the College. There are plenty of women who still want to come to New Orleans and attend Newcomb College, not just from Louisiana but from all over this country.
We need to make it so that this never happens again, so that great education and tradition live on. A promise was made by Tulane University to Mrs. H. Sophie Newcomb to keep the college going with the money she gave to the University. The backed out of that deal. Tulane is in breach of contract. Tulane must now save face and re-open the college if not for themselves then for the many women who want a certain type of wonderful education.
I can only say RESPECT!!! We are finally paying him back for all those years of faithful service. I am glad Joe Horn will retire as a Saint. I hope I can get him to sign my jersey before he fully retires. I love my old #87. He the man. WHO DAT, WE DAT. ONE DAT? NO!!! TWO DAT!!!
We will see him before too long. We will be playing Cleveland this season. I can't wait for us to whoop their butts and for Drew to pass for over 400 yards with Scott pass rushing him. Only time will tell.
why would we want to abolish the lt governor position? what happens if someone decides to assassinate our stupid do nothing governor? then we will be stuck with no one to take the reigns without a special election. that is beyond stupid. this is why we have a lt. governor besides all of the other duties that he performs. abolishing the position is EPIC FAIL!
WTF. Why do we want to shut down a perfectly good nuclear power plant?? This makes no sense. It is cleaner energy than anything we currently have. We should be building more of these so we can gain more energy independence.
You need to read up on your history. Abraham LIncoln never wanted to combat slavery or even abolish it in general. It was a political and tactical ploy to help him win the Civil War. His so called Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in the south. This was to send a message to the Confederacy and also to shake things up down here so that they wouldn't be able to have their plantations function without the free slave labor. Check it out Lincoln had slaves and they weren't freed. It wall complete BS.
go to the mezzanine. look it up on google. it is an awesome place to watch the saints game. just be sure to get there a little early.
I beg to differ. The 1991 saints went to start 7-0. We are a new record at 8-0. We are a new team. We aren't the old run of the mill saints. Black and Gold Super Bowl
Greer didn't lose the ball in the lights. He was pushed by White, blatant offensive pass interference, which allowed White to jump up and make the reception. The refs were terrible, with that and also when they continually smacked Grant down and held him there.

A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Interview with Bill Nye and follow-up thoughts from president Haarsma.
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
"Such a paradigm will enable joyful Christ-followers to be wholly engaged in being the presence of hope in our glorious—yet broken—world."
It's eminently easy "in God's name" to demand things of people as a pre-requirement for acceptance by God—things which Christ himself never demanded.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.

"Design is a funny word.
Some people think design means how it looks.
But of course, if you dig deeper,
it's really how it works."
—Steve Jobs
The seemingly ubiquitous nature of the late Steve Jobs' influence in our lives took on a new context for me upon reading his quote above.
It's not that I didn't understand his genius—clearly, anyone living in the industrialized world in the past couple of decades understands that the way in which we listen to music or read books (or do just about anything) has changed enduringly. It's that I saw him as a brilliant techie with cooler products than his archrival from that other, far less trendy software company, rather than someone who fundamentally understands the nature of design, which he clearly did.
I know some of you are probably wondering what sort of rock I've been living under or how I am so late at arriving at this somewhat trivial observation. It's not that I didn't know it at some intuitive level, but rather, in reading his words and considering their impact now that he has passed, I'm seeing them in a different light. You know, sort of how your clients react when they have that "a-ha!" moment and finally understand that the designs you are creating go so much deeper than surface appearance, and cut to the core of what it is they want to do and the manner in which they want to do it.
Once your eyes have been opened, it's impossible to imagine how you hadn't made the correlation before. I wondered the same thing of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while researching, interviewing and writing this issue's cover story on their recent completion of Building 24, a new administrative office, designed by tvsdesign, located on their Roybal Campus in Atlanta. Given the critical nature of its work, I was surprised to learn that, until early 2000, the employees of the CDC were working
in dilapidated buildings where corridors were packed with freezers
containing pathogenic agents and bio-hazardous materials; in some cases, even the bathrooms were converted into labs.
How could an agency charged with such a critical mission not connect the dots between healthy, functional working conditions and improved outcomes in their research and work? It seems so clear from the outside looking in, but thankfully, the CDC has now completed its 2000-2009 Atlanta Master Plan to upgrade its campuses into facilities worthy of the vital work taking place within them. (To be fair, the master plan was conceived years prior to execution, and as with any bureaucracy, I assume funding wasn't readily available.)
Speaking of disconnects, I was somewhat taken aback by the results of a study released recently by ASID and AIA in conjunction with IMRE, "showing just how skeptical we all are about the sustainable design movement," as our often sardonic blogger, Debbie Designer, put it in her recent blog about the survey titled, "Occupy Sustainable Design." According to the study, only 2 to 3 percent of architects and interior designers are "completely confident" that products they specify that claim to be sustainable actually are. Clearly, design professionals simply either aren't buying manufacturers' sustainability claims, they aren't doing their research, or manufacturers are failing miserably at communicating their message clearly—or worse, outright lying.
Whatever the case, more transparency is needed, and we applaud Perkins+Will and Construction Specialties for launching the industry's first on-product ingredient label at Greenbuild this year. Designed to make environmental and health disclosure easier for any manufacturer who chooses to adopt the template, the label offers a forthright declaration of the make-up of a product and its potential impacts in multiple formats. We hope it catches on.
Despite any trepidation you may have about green products, we know you have opinions about which products and furnishings are your favorites, as the results of our third annual Readers' Choice Awards attest. While we can't make any claims to their environmental impacts, we do know the winners that we featured in the magazine this year have resonated with you in one way or another—and that's a connection we're happy to make.

Ravens defense prepares for another Manning
The Ravens are trying to avoid 4 losses in a row
Heading into the final two weeks of the season and facing crucial games, there's no question what the Ravens are looking for in order to win at least one of these contests -- better pass defense.
The Ravens, whose defense has been torn apart by injuries, come into Sunday's game with the New York Giants ranked 22nd in the NFL in pass defense. That's been one of the team's biggest problems all season long, and life won't get any easier because two-time Super Bowl winner Eli Manning is the quarterback they'll face in this game.
Eli's brother fared pretty well against the Ravens last weekend, and Baltimore's secondary and pass rush will need to do better to slow New York's offense. The Giants are going to be frustrated after Atlanta shut them out last week, so that could make things even tougher for the Ravens this week.
In the end, the Ravens again need a better and more consistent pass rush plus stronger pass coverage, two things they've been searching for throughout the season. The Ravens sacked Peyton Manning twice last week, but they couldn't get enough consistent pressure to break up the Denver passing attack. The Ravens are facing a similar situation this week.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said the defense has run into so many problems this season that they're looking at focusing and trying to do their best this weekend as a victory would lock up the AFC North title. They're hoping to get Ray Lewis and Bernard Pollard back as well as getting Terrell Suggs in the lineup again despite his arm injury. There's still other holes from injuries that are limiting what the Ravens can do.
"We've had injuries, we've had adversity, we've had exhilaration, and we've had great moments," Harbaugh said when talking to the media earlier this week. "So, that's what a season is made of, and the team that navigates all these things the best in the end will be the one true champion. That's in front of us. That's what we're looking to accomplish."

Product description
The first-century ascetic Jewish philosophers known as the 'Therapeutae', described in Philo's treatise De Vita Contemplativa, have often been considered in comparison with early Christians, the Essenes, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. This study, which includes a new translation of De Vita Contemplativa, focuses particularly on issues of historical method, rhetoric, women, and gender, and comes to new conclusions about the nature of the group and its relationship with the allegorical school of exegesis in Alexandria. Joan E. Taylor argues that the group represents the tip of an iceberg in terms of ascetic practices and allegorical exegesis, and that the women described point to the presence of other Jewish women philosophers in Alexandria in the first century CE. Members of the group were 'extreme allegorizers' in following a distinctive calendar, not maintaining usual Jewish praxis, and concentrating their focus on attaining a trance-like state in which a vision of God's light was experienced. Their special 'feast' was configured in terms of service at a Temple, in which both men and women were priestly attendants of God.

Review quote
This is a vigorous presentation of fresh and challenging interpretations of the Therapeutae...written with verve, clarity and...touches of humor. [it is]...a sharply delineated and innovative understanding of Contemplativa and the community it describes. David Hay, Studia Philonica Annual In this book Taylor, well-known for her fine studies Christians and the Holy Places and The Immerser: John the Baptist within Second Temple Judaism presents a thorough analysis of Philo's De Vita Comtemplativa with special attention for what he says about the Therapeutrides, the female members of the Jewish monastic group...The book is fluently written and I recommend it wholeheartedly to all classicists who have an interest in things Jewish. Pieter W. van der Horst, Gnomon This book is very well researched and original. The author brings a wealth of archaelogical, Hellenistic, Jewish, Palestinian and Christian sources to bear on Philo's treatise On the Contemplative Life...The lasting value of this book is twofold. It explores the status and activities of the Therapeutrides in more detail that earlier scholarship, thus reconstructing an important aspect of first-century Judaism. It also raises intriguing questions regarding the spreading of this phenomenon...Beyond these issues related to women, the book is important because it reads one text of Philo against the grain and attempts to reconstruct a type of Judaism that differed in some significant respects from his own. This contributes to our understanding of the diversity of Alexandrian Judaism. Maren Niehoff, Scripta Classica Israelica The present book is a superb study of the Therapeutae...In general, the book is both well structured and very well written. It is filled with interest and is highly recommended, especially for the second part. Adam Kamesar, The Classical Review Drawing on a splendid range of international scholarship, the author examines one text that witnesses to a small group...All in all, this outstanding book exemplifies how women may be made visible by a scrupulously careful scholar, employing the additional lens of gender by which to discern their reality. Ann Loades, Feminist Theory ...the main contribution of the book is exactly the way it brings together different perspectives and research in different fields in order to illuminate one particular text and a group it refers to...the book is another example of how entry through the gates of gender criticism may in fact lead to new and striking insights into unexpected places. Joruun Okland, Review of Biblical Literature Joan Taylor's study not only tackles a number of long-standing issues, such as the historicity of Philo's account and his relationship with the group, but also brings up new perspectives, such as the relationship between allegory and asceticism. She goes through these subjects thoroughly and systematically...this book is an enjoyable study, and it will be an important reference work on the subject for the coming years. It is innovative to place Philo's treatise in the social and cultural ambiance of first-century Alexandria. Taylor's analyses are well-argued, and her broad background in the history of Judaism outside Alexandria gives the work an extra dimension for readers interested in Judaism. The author gathered a vast amount of modern bibliography in the many ways and byways of her investigation. We congratulate her on this result. Annewies van den Hoek, The Journal of Religion It is relatively rare to find a scholar of ancient history take on the work of Philo. Taylor's work is bold in what it suggests, cautious in what it claims, and consistently stimulating in what it invites us to imagine as the social reality behind Philo's rhetoric. Sarah Pearce, Journal of Jewish Studies This book is very well researched and original ... The lasting value of this book is twofold. It explores the status and activities of the Therapeutrides in more detail than earlier scholarship, thus reconstructing an important aspect of first-century Judaism. It also raises intriguing questions regarding the spreading of this phenomenon, which thus far cannot be answered with certainty. Beyond these issues related to women, the book is important because it reads one text of Philo against the grain and attempts to reconstruct a type of Judaism that differed in some significant respects from his own. This contributes to our understanding of the diversity of Alexandrian Judaism and may perhaps invite others to recover yet more forms of Judaism between the lines of Philo. Scripta Classica Israelica

In Applications Performance Equals Response Time, not Resource Utilization, we took the position that while for the majority of the applications deployed on physical hardware the general practice was to infer their performance by looking at normal vs. abnormal resource utilization statistics, once you virtualize an application, it becomes necessary to directly measure its response time in order to ensure adequate service to business constituents and end users.
I have to admit that it came as a bit of a surprise to see Ericom beating Citrix, VMware, et al to the punch last week by shipping the beta release of its HTML5-based RDP client, before any of the bigger vendors opened up their offerings to public scrutiny. I'll being look at the operation of Ericom's HTML5 client in more depth next week, but first we need to understand why anyone would be interested in deploying a HTML5-based remote desktop client at all.
On the 4/7/2011 Virtualization Security Podcast, we were joined by Wyatt Starnes of Harris Corporation. Wyatt is the Vice President of Advanced Concepts of Cyber Integrated Solutions at Harris. What this means, is that Wyatt is one of the key folks of the Harris Trusted Cloud initiative. Trust is a funny word, and we have written about that in the past. Harris' approach is unique in that they are attempting to ensure integrity of all components of the cloud down to the code level, not just the network with their target being the hosted private cloud and NOT the secure multi-tenant public cloud.

Podio Released. Does the social work platform herald the beginning-of-the-end of desktops?
• • 0 Comments
Podio offers a service that can be readily set-up, customised and deployed: with little IT knowledge – or IT service interaction. You create a workspace, you add applications to that workspace, you invite members of your team (regardless of the fact that your team may extend beyond your organisation) and you start working. if there were more Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings such as Podio available, would they negate the need for Desktop as a Service (DaaS)? Podio is likely a game changing environment for collaboration environments, but the rise of such services is likely to have a far wider impact in providing desktop services.
It has been just over two years that the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) was announced and released to the world. I wanted to give my feedback on the progress of the platform and how it is fitting into the Cloud Computing space.
When Cisco announced their Unified Computing Platform a couple of years ago, the thinking was not to just design and get into the server business, Cisco's goal was to and become the heart of the datacenter itself. This was a big move by Cisco considering, that they had a very good working relationship and partnership with HP well, at least until the announcement that Cisco was getting into the server business.

Microsoft SCOM as a complete Management Solution for a VMware Environment
• • 0 Comments
Adding the Veeam nworks management pack to Microsoft SCOM makes SCOM into a fully competent vSphere management solution. Adding BlueStripe's FactFinder plugin allows you to see end-to-end application topology and response times for physical and virtual applications. SCOM's plug-in architecture combined with Microsoft's DNA to partner on the sales and marketing fronts makes SCOM into a formidable competitor to VMware's own management offerings.
There were two announcements over the last few days that struck me as quite important to the virtualization community. While some may question this statement, the long reaching effects of these purchases will impact virtualization and cloud computing in not so distant future. In fact, these purchases could add a whole new layer to vSphere as we know it today. Which for VMware is a good thing. They need to continue to innovate to stay ahead of the pack. The purchases I talk about are:
VMware purchasing/taking over control of EMC Mozy
RSA purchasing NetWitness
The Novell Sale is being positioned to go ahead before the resolution of the Patent issue with the Department of Justice.
VMware View users along with Citirix XenDesktop and Quest vWorkspace have an iPad client for their respective solutions. Personal device use may seem appealing in reducing the demands on IT support – but to fully comply with the license agreements can incur additional license charges, and those charges are difficult to manage. Despite the advertising blurb attached to the free clients, the headaches for finance and IT are not over yet.

Video:What Is Self-Rising Flour?with Anne Marie Lusby
Self-rising flour is a necessity for a lot of baked goods, and it's incredibly easy to make at home. Here are instructions for making your own self-rising flour.See Transcript
Transcript:What Is Self-Rising Flour?Hi there, I'm Anne Marie Lusby for About.com, and today I am going to teach you how to make self-rising flour.
Self-Rising Flour ExplainedIn today's economy, why buy something when you can just make it yourself? Self-rising flour is flour that already has a leavening agent added during the packaging process. Leavening agents usually consist of salt and baking powder. You can buy self-rising flour, but some store-bought brands have lower protein content than all-purpose flour, which usually has 11% protein.
Self-Rising Flour IngredientsFor this recipe, you are going to need:
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 6 cups of flour
- 3 tablespoons of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of salt
Making Self-Rising FlourOnce we have our ingredients, it is time to combine them. First, add the flour. Then, add the baking powder; and last but not least, add the salt. Now, you can sift this together or you can mix with a wire whisk. We are going to use a whisk to insure it is well combined. And your done! It's as easy as that. Now you can store this flour in an airtight container for months without going bad. A few tips to remember when making your own self-rising flour: when it comes time to use it, measure it out just like you would regular flour. Also, always store dry goods in an airtight container to avoid moisture or infestation. And always make sure you're using a recipe that requires self-rising flour; not all recipes call for it. Well, there you have it.
Happy baking, everyone! For more tips and cooking recipes, check us out on the web at About.com.

Okay. So he wasn't exactly…enormous.
But it is, in fact, a snake. And as such, its evil knows no bounds. I want to believe it's a rattler; it would make it easier to despise it. But I think it could be a bull snake, which looks a lot like a rattlesnake but is nonvenomous…and eats mice, which I hate more than snakes. So it's a tough call.
Truth be told, I really think it's a bull snake.
But that doesn't make it any less terrifying.
There's a reason we humans scream, jump on furniture, wince, writhe, freak out, and cry for mommy when we see snakes. It's a natural reaction—a preordained human response to evil staring us in the eyes.
Ever hear of the concept of good fear?
Yeah, well…I have.
Okay—bull snake or not, I'm out of here. This is where I get off the ride. Have fun honey, good luck kids—Mommy's going away for a little while. Remember me. Please, always remember me.
This is where Marlboro Man disappears with the snake into the black of night, where he will either place the snake out in the pasture so it can slither away and find another home to terrorize…or, um, "do away with it." Whatever he does, I tell him I don't want to know. Neither scenario holds much romance for me.
I really hate it here.
Speaking of doing away with unsavory characters, I will now transition to movie lines. It's the right thing to do.
Name the following movies. First person to get all three is awesome, cool, and, like me, watches way too many movies and needs to get a life:
"My guess is, you'll never hear from him again."
"I'm only gonna say this one time: Frank Bennett won't be bothering you no more."
"Oh Paulie. Won't see him anymore."
I love movies. They get me through so many of life's challenges.
Of which there are so, so many out here on the lonely range.
Splashing in the fountain of self pity,
Pioneer Woman

I'm gonna be creeped out for days now! I won't even be able to walk through my bathroom at night without turning on the lights now!

My favorite line from a movie is "one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature"

What does size have to do with it? It's a SNAKE!!!!
Yuck, shutter, blah!
Tracy On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:40 am
throw the tongs out too!!!! i could NEVER use them again with that vision of the snake to them…..yuck!!!
jenni On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:41 am
I would so be squealing, yelling, shreeking, and jumping on furniture. Even though I have used larger worms to fish with.
sherry On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:41 am
So how in the hell is your grout so clean?!?
Kristi O On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:43 am
I am no good at trivia… but we are kindred spirits… snakes = satan. There is nothing good about them and don't try to convince me otherwise. I am with you. Moving on out… to someplace like Hawaii where snakes are not allowed, MM needs to take you there now to get over your post traumatic snake err stress…
aussiechic.com On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:43 am
OK so you are now pathetic pioneerwoman – sorry but that is so sad….that poor little thing. You were scared of that? Pulease a city chic like you? Taking a cab going uptown in NYC is scarier than that thing…….
Sandy On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:44 am
Thanks for saying it first, #22! Poor little guy — I hope MM let him go to grow big and eat raccoons.

Thank you for the pictures! I have been refreshing your flickr page for ages waiting for them, and then found other snakey stories in the comments. Dont know why snakes fascinate me so, but I totally don't want to pick one up. Too squirmy.
KimK On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:44 am
That's not a snake. It's a speckled earthworm.
J in IA On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:44 am
it was HUGE!!! Bull snakes also kill rattle snakes, so they are actually good to have around. However, I still would never ever ever want one in my house. I would be the one to have to deal with it, since my hubby is deathly terrified of snakes. So terrified, when I told him about your story, he said if we ever had a snake in our house, we had to move. He cant even look at a photo of a snake. I grew up with them- as previously mentioned in another post, so I could probably do it, but still wouldnt like it. And I probably would choose to 'do away with it' rather than let it go. Thats how I roll…
Kathi On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:45 am
Awwww man, I'm too late w/ the movie pics. The answers are indeed: The Usual Suspects, Fried Green Tomatoes, and The Godfather
brandie On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:45 am
Scary! I would have fainted right there on the spot and surely be killed from the bite that would have followed. Not fun.

I too watch too many movies..but it is my coping mechanisme for a life, which at any given point in time, is spinning out of control.
Love your site! Your Arkansas Neighboor!
Kim M. On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:47 am
YIKES! Thanks for the update…we were worried about you!
Laura On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:47 am
My father was a John Deere dealer in the Mississippi Delta. He speaks fondly of a customer of his who hated and feared snakes, and quotes him as saying, "If it doesn't have a rattle, it must be a water moccasin." (The unspoken conclusion, of course, being that it should be…sorry…destroyed.)
Jenni in KS On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:47 am
I clicked on the picture to view it larger. Round pupil=non-venomous. He's a good one. Hopefully he'll live a long time and grow nice and fat on all the mice that would have invaded your kitchen:o)
Mandy Stansberry On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:47 am
I only know the second one is from Fried Green Tomatoes, great movie!
Starwoodgal On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:48 am
I frequently find baby copperheads in my yard and garden. They really freak me out! I also get wiggy when we're paddling on a river and they swim by the canoe.
Did I mention I don't go swimming?
Snakes. Are. Nassssssssssssssssssty.
Alexandra On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:48 am
Ummm ~ like you, I would want to check out as well. I'm sure that hotel in SF is lookin' mighty fine right now, huh?
PS: I would now degrade those tongs to the "creepy vermit catching tool bin" ~ I'm sure you must have one of those living on a ranch and all
Happy Wednesday!
Mary Jo Baird On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:48 am

this makes me miss my corn snake pet.
Quincy's Keeper On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:51 am
I gotta ask….why the tonka truck?? Was it full of gravel? How much does a tonka truck on top of a scale on top of an over turned stock pot on top of a snake weight?
Now a real pioneer woman would of put that sucker in whatever stew was cooking in the large stock pot
tastes just like chicken.
Donna On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:51 am
That little thing? The way you talked I thought it was a rattler or something. Not sayin that I wouldn't have screamed, done a jig, and freaked out – but still. Of course there are small snakes that are dangerious.
Hey, you could make snake stew! No one will ever know.
Julie from Sachse On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:51 am
I must admit I thought it was going to 3 feet long but a snake is a snake-YUCK. On another note I'm very impressed on your sparkling grout.
Lindie On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:52 am
Crazy how everyone is freaking out about the tongs and asking you if you used the same ones to toss the spaghetti! Do they never wash their utensils?
lisa On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:53 am
I like that no implement from the outside was brought in the house to pick up the snake. Tongs from the kitchen are the best for that!! Have the kitchen tongs now been relegated to other non-culinary uses??

That snake may be small but still creeps me out… Glad your hubby got "rid" of it for you and the rest of the world.. although if it will eat mice maybe it would be ok… as long as its far away from the house.. Mice.. oooh Yuck!!!
angelacarol On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:54 am
I was pulling my kids in their wagon last week and came across a big hognose snake (we call them spreading adders here). Apparently snakes are frightened off by the sound of a woman hyperventilating cause he slithered his nasty self into the hayfield. I'm never going outside again.
Martee On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:54 am
Tell me you kidding…. that snake are really cute, you can tell from the head shape he is not venomous.
I guess everyone has their fears, i don't care for big ol spiders, at all!
Carole On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:54 am
Um. That's a baby snake. Not to make things worse, but where's there's a baby, there's a mama. And possibly more babies. He's cute. We have a baby ball python upstairs in my daughter's room (her pet).
Java Girl On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:55 am
Ree… I think you could write a book on what kitchenware to use for certain needs, like defending yourself, trapping snakes, utensils for holding the snake etc. You're creative, I'm sure you could think something up.
danita On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:56 am
TOO funny!!
Jennifer Landes On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:57 am
I sit down with my breakfast, looking forward to reading one of your many fabulous posts and what do you do……FREAK me out with a picture of a NASTY snake! Ugh, I hate snakes.
Mary M On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:58 am
Well, its head IS the right shape for a poisonous snake. Best to err on the side of caution. Last time I found a snake that size in my bathroom, I picked it up with tongs and flushed it down the toilet. About a thousand times. I figured by that time he was approximately in Waxahachie and couldn't find his way back to MY house, anyway!
J in IA On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:58 am
i was also really hoping to see a picture of the pot/scale/truck snake trapping device!

Selina On Wednesday, October 14 at 11:59 am
That's not enormous! We have a ball python, and she's about 3 feet long, a good 3 or 3 inches in diameter. And she loves to crawl along the computer desk, or on the couch while we're watching TV.
When a snake is harmless, there's nothing scary about them! And that thing you caught looks like the size of a gardener snake! I'm sorry you're scared of snakes! They make such good pets.
Mamadallama On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:00 pm
I find this post both scary and sad. Scary because of the snake. I just don't care that it's not so terribly big. Still scary! But sad because even though I don't have a life, I still do not know movie quotes. I had to read the reviews to find out where they fit in. I have seen 2 of the movies, but ordinarily I only watch movies once, so I never know the quotes. How sad is that? What the heck do I do with my time? Guess it's time for a wallow in the self-pity fountain for me, too.
Emily On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:00 pm
Hey, bull snakes eat mice….which carry the hanta virus. Maybe the snake was just doing you a solid. He cares about your health and safety.
Erin On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:00 pm
cute snake!
Bitty On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:00 pm
I guess size is in the Eye of the Beholder. But if a snake that size had gotten into my house, it also would have been Gargantuan.
Sues2u2 On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:02 pm
Splash away & don't worry, you have lots of good company!
When I see them on the highway by our house I always aim for them. It's pretty funny seeing this minivan swerve to hit a snack. Really! OH & I hit one about 4 – 5 wks ago @ night that was huge. It was lying across the road & I didn't even see it until I was on top of it. I hit it w/ all four (4) tires. Freaked me out when I got home & snakeskin feel off of my van. *shudder*
Leesa Moore On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:02 pm
OH….MY……GOSH!!! I would most definitely be found roaming the next county over, talking to myself, and acting all kinds of strange!
I threaten to sell the house when I see one or two big spiders, I can't even imagine at all sleeping in peace after finding something like that in my bathroom!!

Sarah On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:03 pm
I found a snake in my closet a few years ago. I almost grabbed it because I thought it was one of the kids rubber snakes. Then it flicked it's tongue at me. YIKES! I must have had 20 neighbor kids come and look at the snake while I waited for my husband to get home. We still get our towels out of what will forever be known as "the snake closet".

The snake was a SNAKE THEREFORE SUBJECT TO EXTERMINATION. Or relocation. Anywhere but in the house. Or on the porch. Or anywhere at all near me. We came home to a copperhead snake on the carport one night after church. I called on God long and loud. Alpha Hubby answered the call, thank God 'cause I would probably have just walked away from the house and all my belongings and relocated myself to another place!
Lene On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:05 pm
Yesterday, I wondered if you were going to use the pot again, but seeing the snake in the tongs? I'm more freaked by spiders than snakes, but no way would I be using those tongs for anything ever again.
(of course, venomous snakes rarely slither out of the elevator of a downtown Toronto apartment building, so maybe that's got something to do with it, but really… all my life, snakes sorta meh, but spiders? Can't even look at pictures of 'em)
Kathryn On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:05 pm
We came across a rattler while picnic-ing last spring. http://kateekat.blogspot.com/2009/05/our-picnic.html
Oh, i hate snakes! Fortunately haven't had any in the house. Mice don't bother me. But i'm glad i don't have them in the house, either. Think a squirrel has been getting into the garage. Will have to check into that.
Maribeth On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:06 pm
I can't believe you read ALL of these comments! But I hope you do because you NEED to see "Japanese Story" starring Toni Collette (2003). If you haven't already that is. It's wonderful!
mommy4girls On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:06 pm
I feel for you! I had one go through my kitchen a year ago. I was done with country living! (Well at least for a few days)
Dana On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:08 pm
I know what you went through. My husband and I came home to our second floor apartment one night and found a snake curled up by the couch. We freaked and the snake escaped. We turned over furniture trying to find it and called Animal Control to try to trap it. The animal control officer came and I spotted the snake in the groove of our sliding glass door. She coaxed it out with a coathanger and let it go in the woods. I felt so icky all night long knowing there had been a snake in our apartment.
thedomesticmama On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:08 pm
I love movies,too but I am WAAAAAY behind on em! (think: Titanic…) eek.I like the snake (don't hate me!) she was just a baby… big baby snake eyes on her. She probally just wanted to liven your house up for halloween. (spooooooky snake joke) I hope MM was good to her. Sorry she made you a bit crazy!

That little snake is adorable and it only bit the tongs because it was scared witless. Be nice!

awe what a cute LITTLE snake. you guys are such sissys. I need a snake to get the mice out of my basement!
Julie K. On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:09 pm
So I'm guessing you don't watch the Steve Irwin/ Crocodile Hunter shows where he picks up "the most venomous snakes in the whole world" I love to watch the shows, but these parts always creep me out!

Is it wrong that I think he's cute?
Glad to see others multi-task with kitchen tongs as well (this 5'2″ gal finds them especially helpful when retrieving my favorite spirits from the top shelf of my liquor closet!).
Robin On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:14 pm
That snake was ugly. Ugh-lee. I was dipping my cute little toes in my backyard pond a couple summers back. You know…a little goldfish pond. A big, ugly black snake sped slithered across the pond right in front of me. You never saw a fat, old lady run so fast in your whole life. The pond went away that fall. So did the whole backyard habitat idea. Which was good when it was birds and butterflies and chipmunks. But my husband, the ecologist, told me of reality and that snakes like the habitat too. Now we have a people habitat. A suburban habitat. A terrace with lots of hardscaping and a hot tub. No more snakes for me. Nosireebob. In my house? Oh. You poor thing.
Mary Lillian On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:15 pm
You're going to have throw away the tongs, boot and get new tiles.

Allison On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:18 pm
Had a snake about the same exact size in my house a month ago. I was home alone and had to shoo it out myself – I was traumatized and so were my kids!
Becky G. On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:19 pm
Okay, so it's a small snake. It's still a SNAKE!!! And, I hate to break it to you, but usually if it's a small snake, that means there are more small ones, and most likely a big mama one around somewhere too! Keep you eyes open, Ree! Becky
Llama On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:19 pm
I think he is cute too!!!
Poor Ree is going to think of that snake whenever she uses those tongs,lol.
Lisa On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:20 pm

Hate to say this… but your Enormous Snake… looks a little small under MM boot. He's not even as wide as your grout lines.
But it doesn't matter – all snakes are evil and need a hero to come in and take care of them

Not to further freak you out, but my mother learned that her house is actually built on a snake migratory route, so we tend to find lots of tiny ringsnakes in the front room/basement. They get caught in cobwebs and then the dogs find them.
Ivonne On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:28 pm
I had to laugh out loud when I saw the picture of the snake. It's TINY! I thought it was HUGE. You could have handled that!
Pam D On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:29 pm
Yep, that's one killer snake there, m'am. *ahem* (and I used to be afraid of them, too, but then I was blessed with a boy who channels Jeff Corwin on a daily basis. I had to learn to embrace my inner "nature girl"; it was either that or put the boy up for adoption. I'm glad I kept him!).
Jeanne Walker On Wednesday, October 14 at 12:31 pm
Ree, I don't know whether you have the time to read through all of the comments, but I have a story. Several years ago, I went out to the wash room and there on the floor was a 'snake'. I threw the clothes hamper onto the washing machine and ran for my 'fearless' husband. I ran into the house screaming "it's a snake…there's a snake in the wash room". My 'fearless' husband is more scared of snakes than I am. He asked how big it was…I said I don't know!!! It's a snake!!! He grabbed a shovel and off we went…me being a shadow to him. As we rounded the corner, he asked where is it and I said just around the corner. So up goes the shovel and we wind around the corner…and there it was…still where it was when I left. Down comes the shovel and off with it's head!!! What a man I married!!! My man…what a man!!! He saved the day. He scooped up the dismembered snake….all 2″ of him from from head to tail!!! Into the garbage he went…never to terrorize anyone again. The End

I don't care if they are poisonous or not….they look creepy evil as hell, and make me weak in the knees, and make chills ricochet up and down my body….I HATE snakes…..and Ree, tell me you are going to throw out that pot and those tongs! I'm just sayin'!

1) The Usual Suspects; 2) Fried Green Tomatoes; 3) The Godfather……so about this snake fear of yours……don't sweat it – you handled it well. No hurt, no foul for either you or the little snake……a happy ending

Okay, how do you remember so many lines to movies?? I
love movies, watch them as often as possible, but cannot remember lines that well, even great ones.
(except for Napolean Dynamite – that is a family past time here)

My son once wanted to have a snake as a pet…I told him and hubby that if a snake ever came in the door, I was going out the other. I don't blame you for bathing in self pity…that first trip to the bathroom at night will be tough. Akthough the fact that you got such great pictures means that you aren't completely mindless with fright!

Puuulease. You are from California? Snakes were invented there. (And trantulas and scorpions and black widows – you know – all God's creatures), I really, really hope no harm came to the little (repeat, little as in teeny-tiny) guy!

I am so with you an the snake thing. I grew up in nowhere Oklahoma and had traumatic snake adventures (none venomous) in my childhood. Have no moved back to slightly less nowhere OK (alright, Edmond, but still) and avoid snakes like the plague, even ones in the zoo…..

and another thing……when I saw the link on your Twitter page to the snake, I held my iPhone back and at an angle like Satan himself was going to jump out! They just give me the willies!

Man, I hate that your floor was that clean for an impromptu snake pic!!! If I had no warning and needed to snap a pic of my bathroom tiled floor there'd be hair (human and pet!) and dust bunnies!
