Charles M. Schulz 1922-2000
Charles M. Schulz was the creator of ''Peanuts,'' the tender and sage comic strip starring Charlie Brown and Snoopy that is read by 355 million people around the world.
Mr. Schulz drew ''Peanuts'' for nearly half a century. He swore that no one else would ever draw the comic strip and he kept his word. His saga of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and Linus ''is arguably the longest story ever told by one human being,'' Robert Thompson, a professor of popular culture at Syracuse University, observed, longer than any epic poem, any Tolstoy novel, any Wagner opera. In all Mr. Schulz drew more than 18,250 strips in nearly 50 years.
Over the years, the cast of ''Peanuts'' changed remarkably little. It included Charlie Brown, a wishy-washy boy with a tree-loving kite and a losing baseball team; Snoopy, an unflappable beagle with a fancy inner life; Lucy, a fussbudget with a football and a curbside psychiatric clinic; Linus, a philosophical blanket-carrier; Sally, Charlie Brown's romantic little sister; Schroeder, a virtuoso on the toy piano and a Beethoven devotee; Peppermint Patty, a narcoleptic D-minus student; and, in later years, Woodstock, a small, expressive but speechless bird.
Mr. Schulz remembered waking up in the night many years ago and thinking, ''Good grief, who are all these little people? Must I live with them for the rest of my life?'' — Adapted from the obituary by Sarah Boxer, Feb. 14, 2000Read the complete obituary

While you wait for spring's new digital print pieces to trickle into stores, don't make the mistake of thinking you must stick to solids in the meantime. Au contraire, dear readers, now is an excellent time to embrace another sort of creatively patterned pieceÂ--the abstract print dress. These multi-color frocks are a must-buy for several reasons: they're beloved by the best trendsetters, available in a mind-boggling range of styles, and they're a perfect transitional piece. We kid you not! While the aforementioned graphic, optical patterns will be huge in a few months, the abstract printÂ--which became notable this past fallÂ--will continue to be an important player too. But if these points don't convince you, consider the fact that we've spotted intriguing iterations on everyone from Leighton Meester to Claudia Schiffer. Now who could resist a trend that truly captivates all?
When considering an abstract print dress, the key thing to keep in mind is that less is more. Now, as our celebrity examples show, obviously we don't mean you should restrain yourself in the pattern departmentÂ--the bolder, the better!Â--but brevity is important when trying this trend. Notice how all of the above ladies are wearing brief frocks with high hemlines? There's a reason for that: these patterns can err on the overwhelming side, so make sure to pick pieces that are relatively short and sleek.
Until the weather warms up (comment not applicable to Southern California residents), be sure to follow in Claudia Schiffer's footsteps and wear an abstract print dress with matte black opaques and ankle boots. Schiffer, seen above in Peter Pilotto's Turning Dress ($693 on sale) at the British Fashion Awards in London last month, isn't the only one who likes to pair the print with stockings. We also noticed that another Germanic beautyÂ--Diane Kruger, of courseÂ--added some hosiery to her short-sleeved mini at ELLE's annual Women in Hollywood Tribute. The actress wore a straight-from-the-runway look when she turned up in a Balenciaga Drape Front Dress worn with Swiss-dot sheer tights.
Of course, if you're more daring or simply like a barer look, you can skip the legwear all together, as Leighton Meester and Kristen Bell both did. Meester opted for a Marios Schwab Thunderstorm Segment Dress to celebrate You Know You Want It, a style book by Gossip Girl's costume designer, Eric Daman. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Bell sported an semi-zipped Vena Cava Healer Nun Dress ($480) over a Guess Invisible Children Tee ($26) for a party at the Guess store in Beverly Hills.
For those of you who haven't already taken the abstract print plunge (or even if you have), we found a few excellent examples of the trend for your shopping edification. If your prefer long-sleeved styles, BCBG's Ruched-Front Dress ($148) or Miss Milne's Diamond Print Sharp Shoulder Dress ($128) will certainly intrigue. Another amazing option is 3.1 Phillip Lim's Bubble Print Silk Dress ($650). We adore its circular print; it has a hint of the Balenciaga spirit, yet maintains its own identity beautifully. Of course, if you prefer a more romantic option, we've got some suggestions for you too! At the top of our list are the investment-worthy Watercolor Tie Waist Dress ($1595) and Knotted T Shirt Dress ($1290), which are both by Thakoon and showcase a soft abstract floral printÂ--truly stunning. On a similarly arty note, we would also like to point out two final painterly printsÂ--DVF's Francia Dress ($398) in Brushstrokes Black and French Connection's Summer Fix Dress ($158)Â--as both are sweet treats that will look wonderful well into summer. Whatever you pick, we hope you find your prints charming!

Pediatricians, general practitioners, internists, allergists and pulmonologists can all treat asthma and allergies.
Allergists or immunologists are internists and pediatricians, who have additional training in the immune system and special skills in evaluating and treating asthma and allergies.
They become board certified when they pass an examination in the specialty area of allergy and immunology. Because allergists tend to see more allergic and asthmatic people than other kinds of doctors, they are more experienced in treating them.
This is especially important because about 90 percent of children and 50 percent of adults with asthma have allergies that trigger asthma symptoms. Identifying and learning to control these allergies can be the key to better asthma control.
Your primary care physician may refer you to an allergist to test you for allergies and to get your asthma under better control. Once your asthma and allergies are better controlled, you can expect to visit your allergist less often as he or she works with your primary care physician to keep your asthma in check.
What Can I Expect from my Asthma and Allergy Treatment?
If you are carefully following your doctor's instructions and you are still experiencing the following problems, you may need to seek a second opinion.
With proper medical treatment, your asthma and allergy symptoms should not:
Interfere with daily activities.
Wake you up at night
Cause you to miss school or work
Cause you to wheeze during strenuous physical activities
Send you to the emergency room.
How Can I Find a Professionally Trained Allergist?
You can start by looking in the white pages of your phone book for your local medical society. They are usually listed as (city name) Medical Society.
You can also look in the Yellow Pages of your phone book under Physicians. The physicians will be listed under their specialty area, such as "Allergy & Immunology." Choose an allergist that is "Board Certified."
You can also write, call or visit the web sites of the following organizations:

Soldier cars trashed: 'I got real angry and I still am'
LEBANON, Ore. - In the early morning hours of Sunday, June 23rd, eleven soldiers' personal vehicles at an Oregon Army National Guard motorpool lot had their windows smashed and their cars ransacked.
The soldiers belonged to the Alpha Troop 1-82nd Cavalry unit in Lebanon.
Troop Staff Sargeant John Parsons says the vandalism was reported to Lebanon police Monday morning by an employee at a neighboring business.
Parsons says there is several thousand dollars worth of damage, pointing out one vehicle with the front windshield knocked out, "That piece alone without the molding is worth $1,000, and there's eleven of them."
"This one here, this is a brand new private," Parsons said, while pointing to the vehicle. "This was his first real training with the Guard, and he parks his truck here and his truck's destroyed. This is a kid from Sweet Home. I know his family, great kid. You know, he never did anything to deserve this."
Many of the victim's families have driven to the site from all over the state, some even from Washington. "They're upset! I mean you know, my commander's wife came up this morning and she was in tears, and their vehicle was barely damaged, just a small window. But, just look at some of the other ones, you know, it's heartbreaking."
The senseless acts of violence are not going unnoticed.
Parsons says he's received over 100 phone calls offering support.
A local company, A-Plus Auto Glass, has offered discounted vehicle windows and free installation. Linn County has also donated some support. "The community has stepped up huge," Parsons said.
Lebanon Police are calling the acts "vengeful."
Parsons pointed to multiple vehicles of windows that were broken, but nothing appeared to be stolen. Car manuals were torn on the front seats and garbage littered about the car, but pricier items like stereos were mostly untouched or dismantled out, but not taken.
Parsons is upset and confused. "I got real angry and I still am. I'm pretty emotional, but just the sadness and the anger that this stuff would be destroyed like this for, for no reason."
If you have any information about the case, contact Lebanon Police Department.
For those who wish to donate to repairs for the vehicles can do so via the Alpha Troop NCO Fund at Linn-Co Federal Credit Union.

(NEWS CENTER) - The U.S. Senate has rejected a bi-partisan bid to expand background checks on gun purchases.
The proposal, drafted by SenatorsJoe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), would have required background checks for all transactions at gun shows and online.
It also would have included an increased focus on keeping criminals and the mentally ill from obtaining weapons.
Maine's Senators, Susan Collins (R) and Angus King (I), both voted in favor of the measure.
The final vote was 54 in favor, 46 against. The legislation needed a 3/5 majority to pass.
Collins made headlines when she came out in favor of the measure over the weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions about Harmful Algae Blooms, HABs.
View current map of key species (Microcystis sp., Prorocentrum minimum and Karlodium veneficum).
Algae are a natural and critical part of our Chesapeake and Coastal Bays ecosystems. Algae, like land plants, capture the suns energy and support the food web that leads to fish and shellfish. They occur in a size range from tiny microscopic cells floating in the water column (phytoplankton) to large mats of visible macroalgae that grow on bottom sediments.
Algae may become harmful if they occur in an unnaturally high abundance or if they produce a toxin. A high abundance of algae can block sunlight to underwater bay grasses, consume oxygen in the water leading to fish kills, produce surface scum and odors, and interfere with the feeding of shellfish and other organisms that filter water to obtain their food. Some algal species can also produce chemicals that are toxic to humans and aquatic life. Fortunately, of the more than 700 species of algae in Chesapeake Bay, less than 2% of them are believed to have the ability to produce toxic substances.
Who do I contact to report a harmful algal bloom?
To report harmful algal blooms, please call the Department of Natural Resources, Tidewater Ecosystem Assessment Division at (410) 260-8630 during normal business hours. If there are fish kills, fish health, or human health concerns associated with the observed algal bloom, please contact the Fish Health Hotline at (877) 224-7229 at any time.
How have Harmful Algae affected Maryland?
There are a number of algal species that have caused problems in Maryland for many years and others that have only been recognized recently. For example, there have been long standing problems with algal overabundance in Maryland's Chesapeake and Coastal Bays, especially in some of the tidal tributaries, due to nutrient over-enrichment and subsequent blooms of numerous species of algae.
Economic losses from the effects of HABs may affect the commercial fishing industry, tourism, cultural traditions, recreational and subsistence harvests. During 1997 in Maryland across all seafood industry segments, instead of continuing a pace of a 7.4% gain over 1996, 1997 sales for all industry segments combined had declined by over 10% (Maryland Sea Grant). Lost sales volume was estimated at $43 million due to Pfiesteria panic with estimated sales without Pfiesteria panic of $253 million in the State. Additionally, a medical team found neurological problems in persons exposed to localized toxic outbreaks of Pfiesteria in Maryland during 1997.
Maryland has experienced severe Mahogany tides due to blooms of Prorocentrum, most notably in 2000. The widely distributed and significant bloom levels resulted in some reduced growth and mortality of hatchery shellfish and reduced seagrass bed distribution within bloom regions. Indirect effects of such a bloom often lead to low dissolved oxygen that can affect a broad array of living resources; several fish and shellfish kills were evident in the bloom region under such 2000 bloom conditions.
The blue-green algae Microcystis aeruginosa also had significant blooms in the summer of 2000 in Chesapeake Bay. Algal bloom samples tested toxic and resulted in temporary, precautionary beach closures in the upper Bay. A bloom of Dinophysis acuminata was detected in the Potomac River during the winter 2001 and resulted in a temporary closure of shellfish waters. The shellfish waters were reopened as toxin levels in oysters were found to be below threshold levels by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Coastal Bays experienced macroalgae blooms that concerned citizens about their effects on boating, Pfiesteria and Brown tide blooms occurred, and potentially toxic species of Chattonella, Fibrocapsa and Heterosigma were identified in the region for the first time between 2000 and 2002.
What is Maryland doing to monitor for the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs)?
Maryland DNR operates a longstanding comprehensive Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program that includes the regular measurement of algae. A similar program is now being implemented for the Coastal Bays. Both of these programs provide a safety net to insure that major HABs are identified and appropriate actions taken which can include anything from providing the public with general information about what is happening to following up with public health officials to protect human health.
These programs alone are not sufficient to track all HABs or their impacts because of the lack of monitoring stations in many areas and the need for special techniques to identify HABs and their toxins. Localized monitoring has been put in place in areas where potential HABs such as Chattonella, Heterosigma, Brown Tide or Pfiesteria have been found to reoccur during monitoring. In 2003, a shallow-water monitoring program linked with nearshore continuous monitoring network will further enhance our abilities to follow HABs and their effects on the Bays. Citizens have participated in monitoring by reporting on obvious water discolorations, odors, fish disease events and fish kills to the Fish Health Hotline (877) 224-7229 which prompts further investigations into algal species present and conditions related to the report.What is Maryland doing to reduce the likelihood of HABs in the future?
In addition to monitoring, Maryland is working with researchers to determine the factors that initiate and maintain bloom events. Many of these HABs are related to nutrient enrichment. Management actions are being addressed to reduce nutrient inputs in meeting new Chesapeake 2000 goals for improving water quality conditions including the reduction of HAB events. In the Chesapeake Bay, Tributary Strategy teams are working on regional nutrient management plans in support of the Chesapeake 2000 agreement. In the Coastal Bays, the State is a partner in the MD Coastal Bays Program and is working to help implement nutrient reduction strategies outlined in the Coastal Bays Comprehensive Management Plan.

From 2010-2012 Young has hit left handed pitching fairly well.
AB 31 .387 .412 .613 1.025 at Camden Yards
I'd offer Young a 2 year deal because he fits our needs for the next two years at the very least. But I have no idea what Young is looking for especially after a good playoff year.
The Orioles were one of the worst teams in 2012 in scoring runs off of left handed pitching. Maybe it was just a coincidence but I'd rather not tempt fate again considering the number of left handed quality pitchers we will have to face.

When we moved, I knew I wanted to change the look of our master bedroom. We have had the same color scheme/bedding ensemble since we got married and it was definitely time for a new look. I even knew what colors I wanted, brown and turquoise. What I didn't know was where I was going to find a new bedding set that I actually liked that didn't break the bank.
After scouring the internet for a brown and turquoise bedding set, I came across BeddingSuperStore.com and was immediately impressed with their wide selection of bedding, linens and accessories. Through their easy search functions, which allow you to search by color, category, brand name or price, I was able to find the bedding set that was just right for us – the Abigail set by Lush Decor.
The Abigail bedding set features rich colors and luxurious details. Just take the pintucking on the comforter for example, it adds a characteristic detail that oozes luxury and design. Another feature I love on the Abigail set from Lush Decor is the refined scroll motif. It really makes this bedding set stand out from the competition, especially when it comes down to price.
After contacting BeddingSuperStore.com, I was thrilled to find out that we were going to receive this beautiful bedding set to review. However, I quickly came to learn that this particular set is made to order and can take up to three weeks to manufacture and ship. But when you are waiting for a bedding set this gorgeous – that doesn't bother you at all!
The only thing that this bedding set doesn't come with is sheets and pillowcases. But with our previous color scheme being green and brown, we already had sheets that matched perfectly. After the sheets were on, it was time for the comforter.
Buy It: The Abigail Bedset by Lush Decor is available on the BeddingSuperStore.com website for $156.10

Video: Buffalo drug raids centered at Perry Projects
BUFFALO, NY - Numerous police agencies from the state, federal and local levels conducted a large scale drug raid targeting several homes Wednesday morning.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation tells 2 On Your Side that the raids are the result of a drug investigation headed up by the FBI's Buffalo Safe Streets Task Force.
They say the investigation steams from, but is not exclusive to Buffalo's Perry Projects.
A source close to the investigation says that the drug investigation has been ongoing for the past three years.
At least 12 people have been taken into custody.
The raids started just before dawn and targeted properties in Cheektowaga, South Buffalo and the East Side, along with a home in the city's Fruit Belt neighborhood.
2 On Your Side cameras captured police activity at an apartment building on Fulton Street where officers from the Amherst Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics team along with Buffalo Police were just wrapping up a raid.
We also witnessed authorities raiding a home along the 100 block of Orange Street.
Authorities targeted properties on Perry Street, Millicent Avenue, Erb Street, Orange Street and Maple Street in the city and Reo Avenue in Cheektowaga.
The FBI is set to hold a news conference Wednesday at 2 p.m. at FBI Headquarters.
2 On Your Side will be there and we'll bring you the latest information.

Healthcare Industry Evolution Is Good News for All
So much is still being said about the Affordable Care Act that people are glazing over some important realities.
In 2014, 13 million more people under the age of 65 are becoming insured. And by 2023 that number will increase to 25 million. Beyond the excitement and demand that these increased numbers will generate, what is critical is that healthcare staffing firms have to succeed in an environment where the focus is on the quality of patient care.
It's goodbye to a volume-driven payment model and hello to a more caring, value-driven agenda that both buyers and suppliers of healthcare staffing have to subscribe to. Staffing Industry Analysts' Healthcare Staffing Summit in Chicago this week focuses on this theme and what the implications of the ACA will mean for the industry.
The rapidly changing regulatory landscape is complicating the decision-making process for healthcare buyers while the war for talent rages. The acute shortage of healthcare professionals will force staffing firms to create a culture of value that is critical to worker retention. Buyers at the same time will have to ensure that their contingents are feeling appreciated and are engaged. There will be a fundamental shift in how business is conducted. All of this in turn will have a direct connection to how patients feel.
Hear our experts Matt Dixon and Dr. Mark McClellan speak, attend the different sessions and understand why value is becoming the new mantra of this industry.

You make an excellent point! Setting up employer and employee relationships that are lasting is like matchmaking. If you take the time to find the right fit, the happy relationship will trickle down to the patients.

Transitioning to vegetarianism...
Posted 20 August 2010 - 01:42 AM
I announced this to my mother a week after making my decision, & she immediately told me a story about a family friend whom had done the same thing. She said that he'd gotten sick after stopping eating meat, but started feeling better after resuming so. Granted, I don't know if this is really a true story or not, but it would've been nice to have support in my decision instead of being discouraged. But that's neither here nor there.
I personally feel good about this decision, & I've even started to cut down on my dairy consumption. Thanks to Ravn, whom introduced me to chocolate Silk many moons ago, I began to enjoy soy milk (esp. the Silk brand; I was excited to discover a plain Silk w/1/2 the calories of regular plain Silk a few weeks ago), so I know that's one of many good avenues for nutrition.
I know there are good resources for vegetarians (I picked up "Living Vegan For Dummies" as a reference book), but is there any that anyone could recommend? Any suggestions are welcome...
Posted 20 August 2010 - 02:06 AM
I think many of us hear the story of the one person who got sick or anemic but I think that is pretty uncommon if you go about it right. Don't get hung up on the protein stuff (unless you plan to not eat dairy or eggs) and watch out and do not eat too many carbohydrates.
Good luck!

This. I was a Veg for over 6 years. It's pretty easy once you get used to it. I find it easier (cooking & prep wise) than being a meat eater. Americans get WAAAAAAAAAAYYY too much protein in their diet. And it's very easy to overload on carbs. I have a great cookbook: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison
Good Luck!
Posted 08 September 2010 - 03:36 PM
for more complex recipes, i'd suggest picking up a Moosewood Lodge cookbook. i own Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant, which is more globally/regionally inspired, because that's how we like to eat...but i hear great things about the others, too so check out the descriptions and pick up whichever one seems most tempting to you, if you decide to buy one.
and between beans, rice, eggs and other dairy, soy products, protein-rich vegetables such as spinach, etc you should have NO problem getting all the protein you need into your diet. it's only when a person relies too heavily upon one food that their diet may become deficient. a niece of mine decided to go veg at age 16, living in a house full of carnivores who don't eat the healthiest diet to begin with. she ran into trouble, but when i asked her what she'd been eating...it was all junk. meat-free junk, yes. but still junk. her mom decided it was a bad idea for her to be a vegetarian because she was having health issues related to her diet, so convinced that meat was the answer, she went back to omnivore status.
you can't live on french fries but if you are even mildly conscious of 'eating the rainbow' you'll be fine
Posted 08 November 2010 - 05:48 PM
My hope is that with incremental changes, the kids will be more open to eating other things, as it becomes more familiar. I can't imagine ever being a full on vegetarian, (I guess stranger things have happened) but I'm trying to have vegetables, whole grains, and legumes a more substantial part of our diet.

It's also something I sense...I work in an environment that I am responsible to make sure there is follow up with medical issues with my clients, of whom have some of the highest of all your risk factors. They they are on all kinds of meds, often die at younger ages...and while the department of mental health and the red cross breath down our necks to be sure we are doing the necessary follow up and correct administering of medication- they barely ever remark about nutrition, of which we are also responsible for. Now there are all kinds of factors making proper nutrition in group homes for mentally ill difficult...what staff knows how to cook, funding...but there isn't even an acknowledgement that there is a lack of nutrition or problem by staff, supervisors, administrators. Apparently a piece of fruit in the morning and a veggie at dinnertime is enough. And I know exactly what they are eating...it's what's on the tables of many of my coworkers. (the menu often becomes what the evening shift's personal household dinners look like, only in bulk.) Just seems like when the doctors order states to decrease fats and sugars and increase fruits and vegetables, we should be paying as much attention to that as whether we give the lipitor correctly. I've talked to folks about it and they do not see what I am talking about.
Maybe if I came at it from a food pyramid point of view, "Well, we have to assume that they are not eating fruits or vegetables for lunch, and since we are responsible to provide breakfast and dinner, it is our responsibility to make sure clients are getting the recommended food." I wonder if I'll get fired.

Baby steps...
Gave up swine (pork) 2-3 years ago when my father got colon cancer. Waited 6-12 months and gave up eating dead cow as well. Waited another 6 months or so and gave up eating dead chickens...finally last July 4th (odd timing) I gave up eating dead fish. Now I'm down to "needing" eggs for protein and cheese cause I hate the fake cheese. At some point I'll switch over to no animal products.......baby steps....been on and off some vegan raw diets a few times and finding things to replace my protein needs. While I try to eat an ITAL diet eating out is a challenge and a half!
A side note, cutting out chemicals in my diet is cool but if I eat something with them I get sick! Same goes for chemical meds, cough syrup gives me a high like I can walk on air....not a good feeling!
Good luck on your switch to not consuming the flesh of other of God's creations!

I am leaning way more vegan now as I don't do dairy and only have eggs if their hidden in bake goods.
Speaking of baked goods thats the one thing I caution is eating too many simple carbs(most breads , pasta , cereal)

As a past lover of dead animals I can admire the taste but can't understand now why the stupid fucs want to eat that flesh and bi-products when they can maintain a better diet not consuming dead animals....or their bi-products. Then again (on my great way of twisting stuff) some people supported hanging black people and some people supported executed the Jews....a fucked up world of killing for fun! Eat dead animals and you are hanging black people and burning black people in your front yard.......

My brother has given up almost all meat (my blue collar, fisherman brother!), my ex has not eaten meat in 3 weeks (and asked to borrow and then watched every food documentary I have), my daughter informed me today that she is now a vegetarian!!! My mother has stopped using artificial sweeteners, and buys mostly organic now, two friends have commented on animal cruelty links i've posted on fb--posted that they were horrified by what they saw (one asked how to get involved and sent several e-mails and "liked" several animal cruelty sites afterward)
So, as annoying or as confrontational as it seems, we can get through. I just look at my small circle and see big changes
I care too much to say nothing. I pray that all of us will one day live cruelty-free and treat each other and our fellow earthlings with compassion and dignity.

Also thumbs up for rubbing off on your family. Other than my kids switching to the fake chicken products I've failed in that area.... I don't think anyone has come to one of my cookouts since I tried to grill fake products.....the chicken they didn't notice but the fake hotdogs and fake burgers were a give away.

Burger King & Subway both offer veggie patties but they taste so bad that it doesn't matter what you add to them they still taste like ass. The Subway ones are oddly enough so filling that 1/2 of a sub is a meal....no clue what crap they fill that patty with.
The fake chicken patties are actually pretty good...not so much as a fake product (filling that need) but just as a solidish product in a sandwich or chopped up with sauce and noodles.
I fell in love with "veggie chunks" in Jamaica eating them with Rasta friends but when I ordered them at home it made me feel like I still needed the real stuff so I don't eat them. For some weird reason the perfect taste makes me feel like I'm eating the real thing and that is a little repulsive.
The Solar Cafe at Wormtown had some great vegan & veggie food options! Hush about Life is Good.....I passed by it twice a day working and it pissed me off that I could not attend!
3 more months until work slows down and I can return to a mostly vegan diet for the winter.
Tried a vegan raw diet a few times...all good but raw cabbage takes a few days to get use to. Mixing fresh fruits and veggies along with some nuts into a meal=yummy!
I refuse to cook dead flesh, it stinks and there is no way in hell I'm supporting killing for others! I also refuse now to use my grill.....
my 3 cents......

What we do know, Eco, is that if no one ever sees the vids, change won't happen. You never know how someone who clicks on a link (if only out of curiosity) will be effected. You can't give up.
My brother has given up almost all meat (my blue collar, fisherman brother!), my ex has not eaten meat in 3 weeks (and asked to borrow and then watched every food documentary I have), my daughter informed me today that she is now a vegetarian!!! My mother has stopped using artificial sweeteners, and buys mostly organic now, two friends have commented on animal cruelty links i've posted on fb--posted that they were horrified by what they saw (one asked how to get involved and sent several e-mails and "liked" several animal cruelty sites afterward)
So, as annoying or as confrontational as it seems, we can get through. I just look at my small circle and see big changes
I care too much to say nothing. I pray that all of us will one day live cruelty-free and treat each other and our fellow earthlings with compassion and dignity.
I you. Thanks for posting this. I was vegetarian for many, many years and went back to my evil ways in 06... All the links in these posts have impacted my profoundly. I especially identified with Ellen when she talked about a diet filled with mean that had a short, pain filled, anxiety ridden life. I just came cross a journal entry from 1999 where I said the same thing!
Thanks again for posting all this.

We can be more compassionate, we can love, we can change the world.
I ask everyone to confront their own lifestyle and watch Earthlings. It will change you. And when that happens, the world becomes a more beautiful place to live.

From the book Eating Animals:
Factory farms are responsible for a significant amount of pollution. Livestock production emits more greenhouse gasses than all U.S. cars combined. To quit eating meat, will do more for the environment than giving up your car
"The a typical feedlot will produce 344 million pounds of animal excrement, annually. Farmed animals produce 130 times the amount of shit as human beings do - it's about 87,000 pounds of shit per second. All this shit includes about 100 microbial pathogens that can cause serious illness to human beings. The shit also includes nitrates, methane, ammonia, cyanide, carbon monoxide and other dangerous gases. Much of this waste is converted and sprayed in a liquified form onto fields. People living in communities close to these farms experience increasing health problems and degradation of property values. Liquified waste is also dumped into lagoons - these toxic lagoons can span 120,000 square miles at 30 feet deep. 100 or more of these giant cesspools loom in the vicinity of just one single slaughter house. Another horror is the example of farms destroying nearby waterways. One farm (Smithfield) spilled more than 20 MILLION gallons of cow shit into the New River in NC (twice as big as the Exxon Valdez oil spill). EPA revealed that 35,000 miles of U.S. rivers in 22 states have been polluted due to chicken and hog excrement. This manure is also linked to MRSA (a flesh eating bacteria that has killed more people each year than AIDS)." Never mind all the resources (water, feed, fossil fuels) that it takes to grow, produce, and transport the food that feeds the animals.
Going veg is one of the best things you can do for the environment

What is the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act and Why is it Important to NAMI?
An obscure but important piece of legislation has been moving quickly though Congress in recent months and it offers important promise for helping to accelerate access to new and innovative treatments for serious mental illness. The legislation, known as the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (S 3187), cleared the House June 20, and is expected to soon pass the Senate and move onto the White House where President Obama has pledged to sign it into law.
What is surprising is that the bill has enjoyed strong bipartisan support uncommon in the current hyper-partisan environment, especially over an issue involving health care. Nonetheless, Democrats and Republicans came to consensus in recent months over a range of difficult issues including speeding patient access to breakthrough therapies and addressing shortages of prescription drugs (including medications to treat ADHD).
The bill includes reauthorization of a range of user fee programs that allow brand name and generic drug makers and medical device manufacturers to accelerate reviews of new products. The largest of these is the PDUFA V agreement, which will provide the FDA with $700 million in funding for FY 2013 and even more over the following four years of the agreement. These user fees are an important part of ensuring that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the resources needed not only to conduct reviews of new products, but also contact post-marketing reviews of products currently on the market.
Why is this Legislation Important to NAMI?
Throughout the deliberations on S 3187, NAMI joined other patient and disease advocacy groups to press for inclusion of provisions to speed access to breakthrough therapies, address drug shortages, improve an existing program to conduct trials of medications in children, ensure the integrity of the drug supply chain and improve the performance of FDA advisory panels. In addition, the law requires FDA to more effectively engage patient and disease advocacy groups in agency deliberations an opportunity NAMI intends to fulfill.
Included below is a summary of major provisions in the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act of concern to NAMI.
NAMI Supports the PDUFA V Technical Agreement
As noted above, S 3187 includes the PDUFA V agreement. NAMI was pleased to take part in the Patient and Consumer Stakeholder Group that has worked with the FDA throughout this PDUFA V process. Among the key improvement in PDUFA V are:
1. Performance Goals -- NAMI strongly supports the new performance goals that will increase drug review efficiency and predictability and result in more consistent and transparent drug reviews. This Agreement will also more clearly discern how efficacy and safety parameters are balanced as part of the FDAs risk-benefit analysis.
2. Enhanced Benefit Risk Assessment -- The Agreement should bring greater transparency to the benefit-risk assessments FDA makes that have been opaque and difficult to understand, especially when decisions have been made across multiple divisions and offices. These improvements should also bring more transparency to this process.
3. Electronic Submissions and Standardization of Application Data -- This new requirement for electronic submission and standardization of application is long overdue and is central to making the overall review process more timely, efficient and less costly.
4. Independent Review of PDUFA Performance Goals -- In order to ensure that the PDUFA V goals are met, there must be an independent third party assessment, with full opportunity to all stakeholders to offer comments on the assessment.
5. Regulatory Science Improvements -- NAMI supports the new investments in the Agreement aimed at improvements on pharmacogenomics and biomarkers. The application of qualified biomarkers has enormous potential to accelerate drug development by helping to identify and predict which patient will respond to a particular medication. Biomarkers offer particular promise with respect to treatment for schizophrenia. FDA needs to be able to access new resources to augment its clinical pharmacology and statistical capacity to better address submissions that propose to utilize biomarkers or pharmacogenomics.
6. Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) -- PROs can be critical endpoints for measuring the benefit-risk profile of a new treatment from the patients perspective. NAMI is pleased that the Agreement includes advancement and validation of PROs. This should help improve the agencys clinical and statistical capacity to address submissions involving PROs and other end point assessment tools.
7. Patient Safety Improvements, REMS & Sentinel -- NAMI supports the improvements in PDUFA V to enhance FDAs existing safety system. The improvement to REMS and Sentinel are vital to this ongoing effort to ensure patient safety. These improvements should allow FDA to test the feasibility of using Sentinel for evaluating drug safety issues that may require some form of regulatory action such as a label change.
NAMI Supports Permanent Reauthorization of BPCA & PREA
NAMI is pleased that this legislation includes permanent extension of both the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act and the Pediatric Research Equity Act. BPCA and PREA have been remarkably successful in ensuring that medications used in children are tested and labeled appropriately for pediatric use. As a result of BPCA and PREA, the incentives that allow for appropriate drug development studies to be conducted in children have been successful, with more studies conducted over the past 10 years than were conducted over the previous 5 decades. As a result, 426 drug labels have been revised with new pediatric information and an estimated 50% of drugs used in children are now studied as compared to just 20% before the enactment of these two laws. NAMI supports permanent extension of both BPCA and PREA.
NAMI Supports the Drug Approval and Patient Access Provisions in the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act
Title IX contains a number of provisions that NAMI strongly supports to put in place new processes for expediting the development and review of medications intended to treat serious and life threatening diseases. Many of the important provisions in Title IX have been included in previous bipartisan bills including the MODDERN Cures Solution Act and the Advancing Breakthrough Therapies for Patients Act.
1. Expedited Approval for Serious or Life Threatening Diseases or Conditions NAMI would urge the HELP Committee to consider additional clarity with regard to the definition of surrogate endpoints for complex conditions such as schizophrenia where research has demonstrated irreversible morbidity related to acute episodes of psychosis.
2. Breakthrough Therapies NAMI supports this provision and recommends that the Committee consider further clarifying the scope of language defining breakthrough therapies and requiring a demonstration of substantial improvement over existing therapies on clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. In moving forward, it will be important for this definition to integrate improvement over existing therapies not only with respect to clinical symptoms, but also serious side effects associated with existing therapies.
NAMI Supports Bipartisan Efforts in Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act to Address Drug Shortages
NAMI is pleased that Title X of the bill includes a range of important reforms to ensure greater accountability and transparency with respect to shortages of prescription drugs. NAMI has always place a priority on ensuring that people with mental illness are able to access the treatment they need. Acute shortages of medications can operate as a substantial barrier particularly with psychotropic medications that are not clinically interchangeable. Provisions in the bill instituting new advance notification requirements for manufacturers before supply disruptions actually occur will help patients and prescribers better cope with shortages. In addition, new authority in the bill for the Secretary to work with the FDA to evaluate the risks of future shortages and take immediate actions to avoid them in the future will also help prevent future shortages.
Title X also includes a number of provisions designed to address shortages of medications to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Ensuring adequate availability of product is a particular challenge for these medications as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) plays a critical role in regulating manufacturing capacity of both the immediate release and extended release versions. This is required as amphetamine is regulated as a Schedule 2 controlled substance. In particular, this legislation includes new provisions to integrate DEA into the new federal oversight structure that will work to monitor and prevent shortages and ensure greater accountability on the part of the DEA with respect to consideration of allocation of increased manufacturing quoa.
NAMI Supports Efforts to Address Conflict of Interest in FDA Advisory Panels
Section 1142 of the bill contains improvements to streamline the process for appointments to FDA advisory panels. Reforms such as eliminating the cap on the number of conflict of interest waivers the Secretary can grant are long overdue. In addition, simplifying the process will enhance recruitment and ensure greater transparency when waivers are granted. These reforms will help ensure greater balance in FDA advisory panels and help the agency attract needed clinical expertise to ensure that it is making decisions based on the best scientific expertise available.

sorry my mistake ...
heres a little amendment in ques 2:
(2) can i access this server (using my public ip) from anywhere using internet??
hey everyone!!!
i am about to follow a simple "how to" to install a web server on a linux machine with all the default settings(i.e no conf file is being edited (httpd.conf etc))......
here are a set of few questions i would like to know regarding such a web server:
(1) at which ip can i access this server on lan???
(2) can i access this server (with the ip addr frm ques 1) from anywhere using internet??
(3)can i assign a proper hostname(like h**p:\\w**.xyz.com) to access this server from anywhere using internet??if yes then do i need some DNS configuration ???
sorry my mistake ...
heres a little amendment in ques 2:
(2) can i access this server (using my public ip) from anywhere using internet??
Welcome to the boards first off aimseeker. Here's to hoping your not a bot!
1. On the LAN, you can use the internal IP assigned by the DHCP server (run ifconfig from a terminal to determine this) or if you are on the machine where you are install the web server just use 'localhost' in the address.
2. No, that is the internal address. You will need to determine your external IP by going to a website such as http://whatismyip.com. Now remember, if your ISP is doing DHCP (most are, unless you are paying for a static IP) you will need to find out what you IP is everytime you want to access your web server externally.
3. You will absolutely need DNS to access the server with a FQDN. I recommend ZoneEdit.com

Only 30 minutes outside the city, Mount Tam State Park beckons outdoor enthusiasts with stunning vistas, waterfalls, rigorous hikes, and ... beer.
The Tourist Club is only open to the public from 1-5PM on select weekends. Check the calendar for exact dates.
Food choices are sparse so bring your own picnic.
Perched high on Mt. Tam, the German Tourist Club is a bona fide German-style beer house. It boasts beer on tap, board games, and a stunning view, all from the comfort of a lodge. Bring your own picnic to complete the experience. And don't worry — the hike back is a breeze.
To get to the Dipsea trailhead in Mill Valley, head over the bridge and continue north on 101. Take the Stinson Beach exit and merge onto Highway 1. Continue on Almonte Boulevard. At Throckmorton, turn left and then left again on Cascade Way to Molino. Enjoy!
Break out the picnic lunch on one of the decks of this lively alpine chalet in the secluded redwood forest and purchase a German beer or ale. The lodge was built in 1914 by a group of German immigrants, who carted supplies up the mountain by mule or dragged them up manually. Today, the club offers its members hikes, outings and dances. Nonmembers can come on designated weekends or participate in fundraising "fests" held several times a year, featuring German food, music and, of course, beer.

People that still want keys: http://cdkeyshere.com/diablo-3-reape...=4e4656fceacc7
18 euro/25 dollar RU version. Region free/multi langauge. Dont think there is cheaper.
That's fine and dandy but make sure first that they won't ask you to send your personal ID copy to them to "verify you are not a bot/scammer/whateverdumbshittheycomeupwith".
Anyone know where I can get diablo 3 cheap? Best I found so far was g2a.com
Debating if I shoulder RoS now. Tempting. So Tempting.
So hard to find good gear. Been playing hours upon hours with Wizard and got only 1 really good chest piece and everything else average or below. The saddest part is when the new set items drop but the stats and their rolls are utter shit.
This is my first time trying out D3, quite liked the starter edition(I love drops :3) but I don't know if it's worth buying Diablo III(without RoS) for 21€ on this site that you provided. I mean I know it's way cheaper than on the website but I'm asking if it's worth to play Diablo III without the expansion pack till upper levels?

Locating Up in the Zone – Better for Amateur/Recreational Pitchers
Pitchers at all levels of the game are told to locate their pitches in the bottom half of the zone so they can get hitters to swing over the top of the pitch and produce ground balls. As everyone knows, ground balls are the best way to prevent runs, since you can't hit ground balls over the fence and it's tough to hit them into the gaps for extra bases. Apologies to all coaches of youth, high school, and many college pitchers, but: You're wrong. Pitchers should locate their fastballs and breaking balls in the top half of the zone to get the most success when competing against average youth, high school, and most college hitters.
Ground Balls: Be Careful What You Wish For
It's happened to everyone – including me – you get a ton of ground balls, your defense boots the ball around, you end up giving up 1 or 2 earned runs but a plethora of unearned runs. When your coach comes and pulls you from the game, he says: "Nothing you could have done, kid. Defense just didn't play behind you," pats you on the butt, and tells you to get your running in.
Your teammates apologize for booting that easy ball in the hole, for not picking that ball at first base, and dropping that easy double play opportunity. Being a good teammate, you say "Ah, it happens. Get 'em next time." Then while running your poles, you reflect on how particularly unlucky you were that day. If only Bobby hadn't lost that ball in the sun and Roger didn't sail that ball from shortstop, you would have gotten out of that long inning. But were you unlucky? Think about it: You did everything you were supposed to – get a few strikeouts, not walk too many, and got a lot of ground balls. And what were you rewarded with? Hasn't this happened before? What if you got fly balls instead? Don't hitters swing and miss on your fastballs up in the zone – and when they make contact, don't they often go for fly ball outs? How many home runs does the entire school have, anyway? Four? But what's the team batting average – .380? Here are the two major reasons you want to get ground balls at the MLB level:
Sluggers often hit fly balls over the fence.
Defense at the MLB level is insanely elite.
Think about those reasons for a minute. Do either of those reasons apply to your high school league? What do you think the average HR rate on fly balls is in your league? I guarantee it's not 11%. (MLB Average HR/FB rate.) We've already established defenders at the HS/College level are orders of magnitude worse than the Dominican and Venezuelan infielders of MLB (to say nothing of the local product), so why are you applying a heuristic to a completely different game?
Tons of data and a shattered myth after the jump… […]

Behold the boho braid and its incredible loitering power! Unlike its plebian brethren (the simple plait), the boho braid is beloved by trendsetting types because it's a bit of flair for the hair. While braids in general are very utilitarian, these are definitely decorative in nature. Fortunately they don't look fussy when the rest of the hair is casually styled or left undone, as the above ladies demonstrate.
Ashley Olsen is always early on the trends, so we weren't surprised to see that she started experimenting with boho braids back in early 2005. She attended Zac Posen's fashion show wearing a single braid across her hairline and the rest of her hair pulled back into a messy bun. Sienna Miller was spotted the following year walking in New York City with her hair in two small, loosely assembled, face-framing braids. The bohemian beauty stayed true to her understated style and let the rest of her hair dry naturally-an earthy touch we appreciate. Peaches Geldof varied the style in 2007 when she attended an LG party in London wearing pinned-back boho braids. Her hairstyle combination of unstructured waves, heavy fringe, and a pair of petite braids was very hippie chic.
Right now, the most popular version of boho braids is definitely a long and loose version of Olsen's style. Lindsay Lohan wore a front French braid to a soiree on a yacht in Cannes last month. Her thick braid is more of a statement look and is an excellent party hair option (especially in the humid months). Our final example of the lingering boho braid phenomenon is the always well-coiffed Lauren Conrad. As devotees of The Hills no doubt know, Conrad has been trotting out various versions of the boho braid over the past few months. Seen here in the Washington D.C. airport, Conrad reminded us of the true beauty of the boho braid-its adaptability. Whether it's elevating a casual outfit of jeans and t-shirt or accompanying a dressier look, the boho braid is always a festive touch.

TV for Grownups: Fall 2013
16 new series worth watching as a new season begins
Network television may no longer earn the critical acclaim awarded its cable competition, but it draws the biggest audience, much of it over 50 years old. NCIS, for example, is going into its 11th season as the top scripted show on TV (about 20 million viewers an episode), while critical darlings such as Breaking Bad or Mad Men draw about a third of that on a good night.
See also: Boomer stars on TV slideshow
"You have all these baby boomers who have tons of spending power," says NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke, so programmers are trying to figure out how "to appeal to the [older viewers] who actually own TVs and are watching them — and then hope that everybody comes along." That's good news for grownups, obvious in the slate of new network shows for fall. Here are the ones we recommend:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Fox, Tuesdays at 8:30, premieres Sept. 17
Watch this comedy for Andre Braugher's surprisingly strong comic chops. Always a dramatic actor (Homicide: Life on the Street, Men of a Certain Age), he shows a gift for deadpan delivery and it's a treat to watch. Braugher, 51, plays the stern new boss of former Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg, a hotshot Brooklyn detective who chafes under the boss's watchful eye.
CBS, Mondays at 9:30, premieres Sept. 23
It's Allison Janney, 53, who is the draw for the 50-plus viewers in this predictable but likable sitcom. Janney, best remembered on TV for her C.J. Cregg character on The West Wing, is the loopy mom and, like her daughter played by Anna Faris, is a recovering alcoholic. Another reason to like it: Faris' character is reminiscent of some of the iconic female characters in '70s sitcoms — Laverne, Shirley and Rhoda, to name a few.
CBS, Mondays at 10, premieres Sept. 23
Dylan McDermott, 51, has proved in series such as The Practice, Dark Blue and American Horror Story that he has what it takes to command the small screen. In this new drama, he's a Secret Service agent who invades the home of a surgeon, played by the Emmy and Golden Globe winner Toni Collette, 41, who is scheduled to operate on the president of the United States. His demand: Botch the surgery, kill the commander in chief, or her family is dead. It's a tough premise to extend over 13 episodes, but this top-notch cast makes it worth a watch.
The Goldbergs
ABC, Tuesdays at 9, premieres Sept. 24
The unfortunate misstep in this sitcom is the stereotypically bumbling Grandpa played by the great George Segal, 79. He's a fine actor and comic and he deserves better. That aside, The Goldbergs is like The Wonder Years, just set in the '80s instead of the '60s. Patton Oswalt narrates as Adam Goldberg, looking back on his adolescence during the big-hair, boombox Reagan-Bush years; Sean Giambrone plays his camcorder-toting younger self. There are lots of laughs, led by the frustrated pleas of Jeff Garlin, 51, who infuses a role that could have been rote, that of put-upon dad Murray, with heart and humor.
