Those cold winds a blowin' mean one big thing when it comes to you and your Traeger: Heat Loss. Which means more pellets used and possibly longer cooking times. Ain't nobody got time for that!
The solution? Insulation Blankets. By using a snug insulation blanket in 35 degree weather, and below will help your Traeger maintains a consistent temperature while grilling, and you save money. (We know it all comes down to the money.) And we make them for several of our illustrous models.
So don't let the cold weather bleed you dry or hold you back from your Traeger'ing (especially during the holidays!).

Jupiter Hammon (October 17, 1711 – before 1806) was a Black poet who became the first African-American published writer in America when a poem appeared in print in 1760. He was a slave his entire life, and the date of his death is unknown. He was living in 1790 at the age of 79, and died by 1806. Hammon was a devout Christian, and is considered one of the founders of African American literature.
Hammon was born a slave and was owned by four generations of the Lloyd family of Queens on Long Island, New York. His parents were both slaves. His father, called Opium, had a reputation for frequent escape attempts; his mother was named Rose. Hammon was allowed to attend school, and ... more »

Salvation comes by Jesus Christ alone,

"Words or phrase" searches every field available in the record, including but not limited to all of the ones available in the list. This option is great for broader searches and getting an idea of all resources available on your chosen word. There is a catch to this search method, however; sometimes keyword searches can be overly broad. So if you are interested in researching various cultures and societies throughout the world, a search for a single term such as "culture" will yield many results, not all of which will be on topic.
Located at the top of the page, you will see how many results your particular search term retrieves. This is true of whether you use words or phrase, author, title, subject or any of the other search fields. You'll notice right away that the search for the word "culture" has produced 27 pages of results with a total of 526 titles to search through. This is because the system is searching the entirety of the record for instances of that single term. It is searching the information that is in the subject field, title field, author field and even fields that aren't specifically searchable such as various notes like the summary. As a result, you will get books that deal with culture or certain cultures, but you will also get results such as this:
The very first result is for the 2012 motion picture remake of Footloose. Why does Footloose show up in a search for culture?
You can also get results on cultivating bacteria in a petri dish or musical albums by the Culture Club. Despite these results, you will get resources dealing with other cultures, cultural time periods, "high culture," cultural movements, cultural regions, cultural strife, etc. While all of these may contain necessary information, 526 titles is more than anyone would really care to sift through with a deadline looming. Luckily, the online catalog contains tools built into the search to help you eliminate these off topic results.

Drake's new track, "Draft Day," features lyrics about Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, college football player Johnny Manziel and Chance the Rapper, and samples Lauryn Hill's 1998 song "Doo Wop (That Thing)."
He said of Chance the Rapper, "And if I left this sh-- to chance, I would've picked a name like Chance the Rapper. No offense 'cause I don't know that n---a/I focus on making records and getting bigger."
Drake also rapped about Lawrence, who stars as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games franchise, "On some Hunger Games s—/ I would die for my District/ Jennifer Lawrence, you can really get it," EW reports.
The Young Money rapper actually started off the song with a shout-out to Manziel and Kansas basketball player Andrew Wiggins – who are both expected to be drafted to the NFL and NBA.
The "Started From the Bottom" rapper, 27, who is rumored to be officially dating Rihanna, surprised fans with the new song on Tuesday night.

Re: Breaking Bad Final Half Season
Looks like those of us predicting Hank's exit last week were right. Hank was probably a dead man due to his wound, anyway, but seeing Walt plead for his life was great. Nope, Walt, this is one thing you can't control, even though it is entirely your fault. Jack's Nazi Pack knew they couldn't let Hank go, not after engaging in a shootout with DEA agents and killing Gomez. There's just no way Hank would let it go, Jack knew it, and Hank knew he knew it. Walt was the only one who thought there was some kind of "out" here.
And then, with Jesse helpless and marked for death, Walt decides to turn his grief into petty vengeance, twisting the knife in Jesse by telling him about Jane.
It was amazing to see Flynn's transformation in this episode. I think we saw him go through most of the stages of grief here: you had the denial ("you're making this up!"), the anger ("how could you lie to me?!), the bargaining ("maybe Dad can explain and this will all be ok!"), the depression (the quiet ride in the car with his seatbelt off), and then he moved right on to acceptance by stopping his parents from killing each other and calling the cops on Walt. Skyler's the one who grabbed the knife first, and it's possible an earlier-season Flynn might have taken Walt's side, but not now. His entire image of his father is shattered, and there's nothing to do but cast him out.
Walt taking Holly was particularly scummy, but totally believable as a rash thing for him to do in the moment. His phone call toward the end was a great performance. He actually fooled me the first time around. On a second watch, it was much more obvious to me that he was putting on one final performance to shield Skyler. Even if she hated him, he wanted to do that one last thing for his family. It could easily be argued that it was a product of arrogance, though. It's Walt exerting his control just one more time. Rather than let Skyler cop to her part in everything, he took that way from her, so it can be all his. If his legacy is to be a ruthless drug lord, then it is to be a legacy that entirely belongs to him, with no aid or accomplices.
I feel bad for Jesse. He is totally the Miles O'Brien of this show. He just gets tortured, over and over. He did the right thing by working with Hank, and all it did was get him turned into, essentially, a slave. The photo of Brock and Andrea sure wasn't subtle.
Looks like those of you who speculated Walt bought the M60 to rescue Jesse were probably right. Although it's hard to imagine what kind of horrible state Jesse will be in after almost a year being forced to work for Jack's Nazi Pack.
I also wonder what Lydia's take on all this will be. Dead DEA agents, Walt's life ruined, Jesse a prisoner, forced to cook--none of this is going to fit into her neat little world where everything is tightly-controlled and runs like clockwork.
A brief shout-out to the flashback in the opening: I like how Walt had to rehearse his lie, to drive home how good he got at lying, later on. That said, he was never that good of a liar. Even his adoring son could see through his lies a couple episodes ago. He just got better at spinning them on demand without the need to rehearse.
Finally, an interesting visual motif:
Those moments dovetail nicely in terms of who was involved, too. Here we have two men, on the ground, crying at the sight of men they loved having just been brutally murdered. But the differences are what make it so intriguing: Gus was broken at the beginning of his career, and Walt was broken at the end. If there is a lesson from all this, it is a simple one: if you're going to break bad, don't care about anyone, ever, or it will ruin you.

Re: Breaking Bad Final Half Season
I feel like the only reason Todd is still cooking is because he cares about Lydia, & with Walt gone, Jesse is maybe the only other guy who can help him produce the product that Lydia needs
The performances from the three leads of this show are quite possibly the most incredible achievements of anyone ever televised, & I'm certain that everyone, including myself, underestimated all three of them & their ability to deliver said performances. A one dimensional white ghetto punk stereotypical actor, a one dimensional stereotypical macho cop actor, & the silly doofas dad from Malcolm in The Middle. I don't think anyone on Earth could have predicted the level of excellence we've seen from these guys

Re: Breaking Bad Final Half Season
Though it seems more likely that Hank would have gone down like Gomey, it was good they gave him the scene he deserved. The contrast of Hank going out like a man to his own grovelling may have helped Walt decide to step up for Skyler with the phone call.
And speaking of stepping up, Marie has become a really strong compared to how she was at the beginning of the series. And I feel bad for her because Hank gave her that abuse and she just took it, and now she won't get to spend her life with the Hank she loved. But her insistence on doing the right thing by Flynn seems to have been crucial.

Re: Breaking Bad Final Half Season
Damn, Walt twisting the knife in like that by confessing about Jane was just about the scummiest thing he's ever done. I'm not surprised Todd kept Jesse around; Todd can't make the pure meth. Jesse can. Yes, Walt must rescue Jesse. There's no way he can redeem himself, but he'll come to realize that he owes him. That would be fitting, though, for Walt to rescue Jesse and then have Jesse blow Walt's brains out anyway because of Jane. I thought they were going to kill Jesse there for a moment.

Re: Breaking Bad Final Half Season
It was kind of surprising to see him react to the knife fight the way he did. I mean Skyler slashed at Walt. It seemed like Walt just tried to subdue her and get the weapon away, and Flynn now views that as his dad attacking and trying to hurt his mom? Wow. The kid's really been hurt to have switched over so quickly.

"A buffer is a contiguous allocated chunk of memory, such as an array or a pointer in C. In C and C++, there are no automatic bounds checking on the buffer, which means a user can write past a buffer" (Grover, 2003). Manipulation of the buffer which occurs before it is read or executed may lead to the failure of an exploitation attempt (Lilly, 2002).
The primary solution to common buffer overflow problems mainly targets the impediment of significant system attacks. Although there is no panacea for all possible attacks, the methods below can make it more difficult to create or cascade buffer overflows and, hence, devastate the stability of stacks.
Both Viega & Messier (2003) and Grover (2003) note a number of protective actions that may help reduce the effects and likelihood of a buffer overflow occurring:
- Write secure code: Buffer overflows are the consequence of entering a greater amount of code into a buffer than it expects. "C library functions such as strcpy (), strcat (), sprintf () and vsprintf () operate on null terminated strings and perform no bounds checking. gets () is another function that reads user input (into a buffer) from stdin until a terminating newline or EOF is found. The scanf () family of functions also may result in buffer overflows"[1]. One of the most effective means to mitigate the risk from a buffer overflow is to block them and not make them feasible.
- Stack execute invalidation: Malicious code is an input argument to the program, it resides in the stack and not in the code segment. This is mitigated by not allow the stack to execute any instructions. Any code that attempts to execute any other code residing in the stack will cause a segmentation violation. This is not a simple solution.
- Compiler tools: Modern compilers and Linkers alter the method in which a programme is compiled. This may allow bounds checking to go into compiled code automatically, without changing the source code (Viega & Messier, 2003). These compilers generate the code with built-in safeguards that try to prevent the use of illegal addresses. Any code that tries to access an illegal address is not allowed to execute. (One tool is StackGuard. This detects and prevents "smash stacking attacks" by shielding the return address on the stack, stopping it from being altered. It places a canary word next to the return address whenever a function is called. If the canary word has been altered when the function returns, then some attempt has been made on the overflow buffers. It responds by emitting an alert and halting).
- Dynamic run-time checks: The application is only allowed restricted access which aides in the prevention of attacks. This technique chiefly relies on the "safety code" being preloaded before an application is executed (Grover, 2003). This preloaded component may either present a protected version of the standard insecure functions. It may also ensure that return addresses in the system are not allowed to be overwritten (Viega & Messier, 2003).

Don't fall for the President's MyRA scam. You'd be better off putting that money under your mattress. It will still lose value because of inflation, but at least the government won't know where it is so it can steal it.
The President announced MyRA (though he pronounced it like he was reading for the first time) during his State of the Union address Jan. 28. If you didn't smell boondoggle right off, you should have.
According to the plan as announced, savers can begin with an initial deposit of $25 and contribute as little as $5 per payday. The money is invested in a Treasury security.
The U.S. government is currently living off quantitative easing. I have described it in the past as pouring water into milk. But here's a better analogy I heard over the weekend:
A couple is short of money but has some bills they must pay. They have some old items they need to get rid of so they decide to hold a garage sale. On the day of the sale, the husband helps the wife set the items in the yard, then trots off to work.
When he comes home that afternoon, all the items are gone. He's ecstatic, the sale was a success and they have the money they need to pay the bills. The husband congratulates the wife on her entrepreneurship. She proudly proclaims they now have the money to pay the bills.
When the husband looks into the garage he sees that all the items that were in the yard have been stored. He turns to his wife and says, "I thought you sold everything."
"I did. When nobody came to buy anything I just wrote a check and sold it to us."
That's what the government is doing with Treasuries through quantitative easing to infinity. When the government goes bankrupt — and it will — those Treasuries will be worthless. And now the government is encouraging you to buy them.
MyRAs will earn the same interest as the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Government Securities Investment Fund that is available to Federal employees. The TSP's own paperwork says this about its interest rate: "The G Fund is subject to inflation risk, or the possibility that your G Fund investment will not grow enough to offset the reduction in purchasing power that results from inflation."
All your savings will be visible to government and available for confiscation — the same government that is already eyeing $19 trillion in pension funds, individual retirement accounts and 401(k) plans. Don't think this will happen? Governments across the globe have already done so.
If you want to "invest" in the U.S. government, there is currently a provision to do so. The MyRA plan mimics it. Just open an account with Treasury to buy U.S. savings bonds. The difference is that MyRA will be run by a crony Wall Street firm.
President Barack Obama claimed the MyRA plan is a "starter savings account" to help people on low incomes and without employer-sponsored 401(k) plans save for retirement. But those on low incomes have no discretionary income for putting into a retirement account. In fact, according to the Corporation for Enterprise Development, nearly half of all Americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck. Many Americans have depleted their retirement savings to survive the current depression.
The MyRA plan is a scam and a sham and another Ponzi scheme and should be avoided at all costs. Any discretionary income should go to pay off debt and/or buy silver or gold and store food and water, guns and ammunition, not prop up the government's house of cards.
Note from the Editor: As a reader you deserve to know the truth behind the economic disaster America faces. I've arranged for readers to get free copies of two books that reveal the sinister plot by the US Government to steal our wealth—a plot Merrill Jenkins, Sr. (the Original Monetary Realist) tried to expose at great risk. His books are hard to find, but these books include rare transcripts from his lectures. Click here for your free copies.

Fallout 3 named Ultimate Game Of The YearNovember 2nd, 2009 - 12:37 pm ICT by ANI
London, November 02 (ANI): Fallout 3 has been voted as the best game of the year at top gaming awards 'Golden Joysticks'.
Action game series 'Call of Duty' bagged three awards including multiplayer game of the year and Nintendo game of the year for World At War, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was given 'one to watch' award.
Also, musical game 'Guitar Hero: World Tour' was recognized for best soundtrack of the year.
The results were based on the voting done by U.K gamers.
However only games released between May 2008 and May 2009 were listed for the awards.
"The games industry remains innovative and vibrant despite economic pressures," the BBC News quoted organizer of the awards Emma Parkinson as saying.
She added: "Many of the winners at the Golden Joystick's demonstrate that UK talent remains crucial to the success of this industry across the globe and must be nurtured at all cost."

Mapex quality double at a phenomenal low price.
The Mapex P710TW pedal takes the entry level pedal where it has not gone before.
The Mapex P710 Double Kick Pedal starts with a strong and solid double chain that will handle all of the fast footwork you can throw at it. The P710's solid steel base plate with adjustable spurs provides all of the strength and stability you'll ever need.
If the P710's beaters look familiar, they should. Mapex has incorporated several features found on the Falcon and Raptor pedals, like a smaller footprint and quick and easy adjustment points.
Quick, powerful double-chain drive.

Comments about P710TW Mapex Double Chain Drive Pedal:
These pedals are fantastic. Mapex really outdid themselves!! I was very suprised when I put them together and put them on my electric set, they definately got the job done. When I put them on an acoustic set, amazing!! The beaters are hollow which is a great feature if you like little to no weight on your pedals. I've had them since late November 2012 and I will say there is some stripping of the bolts on the axel area. Thats probably my fault though as I didn't tighten them hard enough. I've learned my lesson. However, highly reccomended. Enjoy!!
Best Uses
Comments about P710TW Mapex Double Chain Drive Pedal:
The only downfall to these pedals was the clamp bolt that secured the main pedal to the bass drum wasn't long enough to copletely secure it to the drum. This is probably just a problem with me, so I replaced that bolt with the one on my stock pedal. Other than that the price and quality of these pedals is amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE.
Best Uses
Comments about P710TW Mapex Double Chain Drive Pedal:
I got this pedal because it was at an affordable price. It is a very good pedal. It responds well to what I do and it has a good attack. I just use it for practicing but if I do play a show at some point, I am sticking with it.
Comments about P710TW Mapex Double Chain Drive Pedal:
What can I add here that I haven't said already. They look cool while doing a great job!!
I've tried all double pedals in this price range and found these to be the best by far. Mapex is hitting it on the head in the pedal department; Falcons, Raptors and now these!! Way to go Mapex. The P710TW's are not loaded with features but they have enough to get the job done, and done right!!
The build quality is fantastic, Mapex prides itself on quality and these pedals are further proof of that!!!
I have tried all the pedals in this price range and these are a winner hands down. I'm very picky about getting the best value out of my money.

A vague relationship basically feels like a real relationship, only it's harder to tell when it's okay to cuddle.
Vague relationships can last anywhere from 0 to 8 years, but are usually just a few months long.
You can have a vague relationship with your co-worker, your friend, your friend's brother, your brother's friend, your co-worker's brother, your brother's co-worker, your friend's brother's co-worker, or your brother's co-worker's friend – but not your brother.
Vague relationships are vague because their boundaries are never discussed.
Their boundaries are never discussed because one participant thinks that makes things more "exciting."
More "exciting" means it's acceptable to pursue other relationships and sleep with other people.
Sleeping with other people is fun because sex is like TV.
Sex is like TV because it is visually stimulating and mentally engaging for short periods of time.
Vague relationships have lots of sex, but no commercials.
Recommended to have on hand at all times
Full-length mirror. This is the most effective and thorough tool for confirming your attractiveness.
Birth control. This can be in the form of pills, condoms, or good intentions.
A pet. Pets are reliable sources of affection. Generally speaking, the larger the pet is, the more affectionate it will be (excluding horses).
- Average lifespan of a goldfish: 0-18 months
- Average lifespan of a hamster: 1-3 years
How to Enter a Vague Relationship
Get introduced to an attractive friend of a friend, co-worker, brother of a friend, etc. Anticipate having a boring conversation. Feel surprised when the conversation turns out to be interesting. Make each other laugh.
Spend enough time talking to discover you have enough things in common to have sex that night. See each other once a week, then a few times a week. Make sure he calls you more than you call him.
An Important Equation
[(Sex)+(every time you see each other)] * [(Genuine Interest)/(uncertainty)]
Time – discussion("Official Commitment")
"Should I ask about his ex-girlfriends?"
No. It is important to avoid the word "girlfriend."
Sample Introductions to Friends
- "This is my co-worker, Frank."
- "This is Amy, my friend."
- "My co-worker, Amy."
- "I met Frank at work."
- "Frank, my friend. We met at work."
- "Amy knew my brother from high school, actually."
- "Oh, my brother introduced us. He and Frank work together."
Nice Thing to Overhear
"I've actually never had as much fun with a girl as I do with Amy."
Four Steps to a Wild Thursday Night
- Text him, "I'm bored, want to come grocery shopping?"
- Wait a few hours before concluding that he probably read "grocery shopping" and thought "sweatpants" and possibly "marriage," which is why he hasn't responded.
- Swallow one Xanax bar and walk to Whole Foods.
- Tomorrow morning find three different kinds of lettuce and organic "Tea Tree Tingle" shower gel in your refrigerator.

I bought some multigrain cheerios at Dollar Tree not that long ago so keep your eyes peeled for some there also
My target the peanut butter Cheerios weren't included.
Make sure it is the Multigrain PB and not the regular PB.
At my target store the pb multigrain weren't included in the sale. I made the mistake of picking one up and when I checked out the gift card didn't trigger, so I had to go to the service desk to swap the item for one participating in the deal. I felt soooo bad.
Ultimately it worked out, but when you go just be mindful of which cereals are labeled as part of the promotion!
Same here–I got to the register and wondered why my card didn't populate. I ended up just taking them off the transaction.
I bought 20 boxes (yes 20…we go through a lot of cereal here) of GM cereal at Target today…now I will have to stop by later in the week to get some more…I just love great cereal deals!!!
When I did the cereal deal this afternoon, it triggered a register coupon for $2 off 5 boxes. Better than the $1 off 3 TQ I used in the first transaction. Made my boxes .55 each (I used a $.75 and 2 $1/2 peelies that I got at Walmart)
I also got the $2 off 5 boxes but if you look at the top of coupon it says its a manu coupon NOT a Target coupon, therefore you cant use it with your other manus right?
I got $1.50 off 4. You can only use the target coupon for $1/3 with it, but it's better than nothing if you don't have any other coupons!
got catch! I was going to go back for another 5 boxes. And I would have been so mad when I finally realixed that.
Are the multigrain cheerios included in the sale? I didn't notice today when I got some other kinds. Might need to go back tomorrow. Can anyone confirm that they are, in fact, part of the deal?
The multigrain were included at my Target. The multigrain peanut butter were NOT.
Not related to this post but I have a bunch of organic valley grassfed milk coupons $1 off – if anybody is interested email me at email@example.com
i hope the stores are stocked well in cereal
the store I went to today did not have the Multgrain Cheerios nor the Chocolate Fiber One. Those were the only 2 slots that didn't have cereal. Even worse, was the store had no tags on what was included. Had to scratch my deal. Hopefully when I go to the other store tomorrow, they have better stock & tags!
Seemed to me (I could be wrong) that only the 12 ounce boxes were included in the sale. PB cheerios are 11.3 and Lucky Charms 11.5 so they are a no go. Anyone else notice this or have different sizes? BTW my store was stocked well.
I scored lucky charms 11.5 oz. boxes. they were marked at my store.
The coupon from the second link is gone :(
Actually it printed then disappeared. So it is still there when I checked on another PC.
It wasn't on my computer. There were only about 10 coupons and cereal wasn't one of them.
Off topic, but I need help!! Where can you find the Heinz gravy at walmart? I went up and down all those isles,…maybe I just missed it
I found it with the sauce/gravy packet mixes…HTH
I went to do the GM cereal deal today at my local target and the Multi-grain Cheerios rang up for $2.25 a box instead of $2.50 and it did not trigger the gift card prompt. So I ask the cashier to ring up one of my boxes of Reese's Puffs twice and I would run back and grab another box. Then the gift card prompted on the screen. I could of sworn that there was a sign next to Multi-Grain that they were included in the giftcard deal, but I did not have time to run backto confirm as I had to pick up the kiddies from school.
Was wondering if this happenend to anyone else at there store? Also I am certain that at my store the PB Multi-Grain were NOT included in the GC deal.
Multigrain were included at my store near Rochester, NY. I bought them and it did work. Its possible your store's sign was in the wrong spot- that happened to me last time. It should be the 9 oz. size.
Neither one of these new links worked for me.
When I printed the coupons from the second link it didn't seem to work but when I went to the printer they were all there. The first link also worked without giving me confirmation my coupons printed but they did.
Where on earth is the Target GM cereal coupon? I see a $1/3 Kellogg's but that's it. I've been looking for days and it's driving me crazy.
Grocery 3rd page on my PC.
Thanks so much. I thought I was losing my mind! I don't know how I managed to miss it so many times.
Betty crocker .com has a $1 off MQ for the Fiber One Chocolate cereal, makes for a bit of a better deal!
Darn! Havin' another Mac attack! Cant use that Target q. cuz its a darn Java style. Uuuugh! When will they dump that Java crap!
I can print the target q's on my mac as long as I only print one at a time. If I select several coupons it fails. Just a suggestion in case you haven't tried printing just one coupon.
Thats very odd, It says something like, Sorry but Apple has disabled Java and their system uses Java and they are sorry and supposedly working on it (like in near future an alternative). So Im shocked you got any at all.
What's odd is Target and Smartsource qs print on my Mac but not Redplum! Java acts differently, depending on the site. I can't seem to fix it.
I know!! We went through this a couple years ago or so, and now again, some coupons print, some won't! It is so frustrating!
if anyone has extra 1.25 off pb coupon can you please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
My system absolutely will not print Target coupons. The IT guy at work tried downloading the Target coupon printer a number of times and it still will not print them. Is there any way to use them via smartphone? Thanks.
what browser are you using? I can't print anything java related (which is what system Target IPs use) when I'm on Google Chrome, I have to switch to IE.
Just want to mention, its helpful to take a list of cereal that SHOULD be included because they might not be marked on the shelf. I expected the Peanut Butter Toast Crunch to be all sold out due to the high value coupon, but actually the shelf was full….. probably because they weren't marked at all!
I clicked both of the links and neither of them worked. One brought me to the Everyday Saver page but no cereal coupon and the other loads a blank page. Oh well..
If anyone has the $2/1 Heinz and/or the $2/3 Ore-ida Target coupons that they could scan and send me that would be much appreciated! I didn't print them yesterday and now they're gone on the Target website. Thanks a million! email@example.com
Is there no more $1 off for the multi grain cheerios?

This month, Los Alamos Medical Center will celebrate, with hospitals across the country, "Doctors Day." Traditionally marked on March 30, this date is known industry-wide as a special time set aside to recognize the invaluable contribution made by physicians.We've all seen the TV dramas staged around hospitals – emergency rooms, operating suites and doctors' lives. While it's easy to get caught up in those plot lines, it is vitally important for communities to realize that their physicians are the keys to a viable healthcare system. They are also real people with busy daily routines, who are often called upon to improve the quality of, or even save, the lives of their friends and neighbors. So what makes LAMC's medical staff truly special?All communities think they are "unique." Los Alamos is unique, especially when it comes to health care. A major employer the size and importance of Los Alamos National Laboratory generally provides support for a physician distribution rich in specialists.The county as a whole, and in particular LAMC (licensed for only 47 in-patient beds), is the beneficiary of this phenomenon.

My kids got me into this mess, and now I can't seem to get out of it! LOL Nah, I really do love it ;)
I call caking my 'soul food'. It is a creative outlet that I stumbled into in 2011, and only wish I had more time for. Unfortunately, there's not much left of me to go around having a full-time job and 3 children. But I do it in my 'un-free' time anyway, when I can afford to sacrifice my sleep :) As caking fulfills me in such a way, that I can't seem to walk away from it.

Merger of Blockbuster and BlackBerry into "BlockBerry" Creates World's Most Valuable Corporation
WATERLOO, ONTARIO — Amid rumors that once-dominant video rental chain Blockbuster would close all remaining 300 stores, smartphone maker BlackBerry Limited has announced plans to combine the firms in what is being lauded as the most promising merger in corporate history.
Although BlackBerry had itself been struggling to maintain financial viability and defend rapidly shrinking market share, analysts expect that the union of two once-iconic brands into "BlockBerry" will radically reform the competitive landscape of the smartphone and digital media industries.
In after-market trading, BlackBerry shares jumped almost $900 to close at a record high of $897.53, causing the company to eclipse Apple as the most valuable corporation on the planet.
Federal Government Shutdown Forces Border Closure
SAN ANTONIO, TX – Political in-fighting in Washington has caused a government shutdown this week, forcing a furlough of non-essential federal employees. In a statement to the press on Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Acting Commissioner Thomas Winkowski admitted that he was forced to close the border between the United States and Mexico. "We hate to do this, after years of successfully working with the cartels and corrupt members of the Mexican government. This shutdown comes at a terrible time for everyone – October is typically the number one month for human trafficking and number three for drugs."
Adding to the problem, American's supply of domestically-grown marijuana is threatened due to the closure of national parks, many of which house the most successful growing operations in the country. It is unlikely that backyard gardens in suburban Los Angeles will be able to meet the country's needs for very long. President Obama, a leading expert on supply-side economics, issued a written statement that his team was doing everything they can to find "shovel ready" pot growers, including reaching out to the organizers of the Burning Man festival for email lists and contact information.
The border remains a mainstay in political theatre in Washington, where huge amounts of money are discussed, along with futuristic-sounding technology like drones and fences. Political insiders report that Paul Ryan (R-Wis) is secretly working to reopen the border while most of his colleagues are busy talking about Obamacare.

Express Lane for Non-Texting Drivers Goes Completely Unnoticed
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – The new express lane for drivers who refrain from texting while driving has failed to attract a single vehicle in the three months since its introduction to highways throughout the state.
In a bid to draw traffic, highway department officials completely eliminated the speed limit in the non-texting lane and installed billboard advertisements touting the benefits of driving at excessive speeds.
After no drivers chose to use the lane, officials experimented with a one text-per-mile limit in the new lane. The concession still failed to attract drivers.
Most recently, the state has partnered with Delta and American Airlines to provide triple airline miles for distances traveled using the express lane. Officials are optimistic that the airline miles promotion will gain traction when the state begins marketing the program to drivers via text message later this month.
Al Gore Burns Rainforest With Environmental Message That Can Be Seen From Space
LOS ANGELES – Former Vice President and current activist Al Gore has razed several hundred million acres of Amazon rainforest with a message promoting environmental responsibility. Gore contracted a Brazilian construction firm to produce a controlled conflagration in the shape of the message "Live Green" and bulldoze the smoldering remains.
Gore boasted that the message– intended to raise awareness about the dangers of industrialized civilization– can be seen from space; he also expressed hope that intelligent beings from other galaxies will interpret the message as evidence of his enlightenment.
Several ecologically-minded celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo will join Gore to celebrate completion of the project by skywriting "Global Warming Deniers Are Anti-Science And Must Be Stopped" through the exhaust smoke of a large fleet of private jets.
It is believed that Gore raised a portion of the funding for his rainforest project from the sale of a minority stake in his investment firm to the Iranian Sovereign Fund.

In these remarkably fluid political times, when our major political parties are each in the process of redefining themselves, I should like to propose an alternative radical vision of a society other than the conventional one which is based on equality.
Let us begin by making a clear distinction between certain types of equality. Equality of opportunity, and lack of discrimination, are both goals to which every society should aspire. It is equality of outcome which causes genuine problems.
We should, I believe, be highly suspicious of the principle of equality of outcome. The problem is that in its current usage it is not only consistent with uniformity, but practically its synonym. The attempt to impose equality of outcome by the state has always seemed to me morally dubious.
As evidence, we should look at societies which have pursued this type of equality above other values. There can be little doubt that during the past century the drive towards equality of outcome — at the forefront of the Soviet experiment, for example — has led to some of the most brutal and inhuman tyrannies the world has ever seen. If anyone should wish to observe what happens in a modern state when equality of outcome is the central and overriding aim, they should look to North Korea.
It is now quite clear how an equalitarian tyranny starts and perpetuates itself. If a naturally highly diverse human society is to be moulded into equality, it requires enormous state power — in fact, at its fullest extent, absolute state power.
The second great flaw in the ideal of an equalitarian society is that full equality can never be reached. Again, the Soviet experiment shows that however strenuous the state's efforts to reduce differences in material outcome, the very structure of the equalitarian society, in which the state is guarantor, will act to undermine and destroy equality. As George Orwell demonstrated so eloquently in his great political satires, those who control the state will always end up much more "equal" than the passive, patronised population who are the recipients of state largesse. As the Soviet experiment collapsed, the shocking degree of material inequality between the state apparatchiks — with their exclusive shops and hunting lodges — and the rest of the population was cruelly exposed.
Given these historical lessons, I should like to suggest an entirely different society, which I propose to call the altruistic society. The altruistic society does not penalise diversity or variety; rather, it celebrates it. It sees diversity and variety as the engine of social and economic progress.
Equalitarian societies in which the state is the lead player expend enormous social capital in attempting the impossible — the equalising of material outcome. In an altruistic society, those same resources could and should be aimed not at the toxic and unreachable aim of equality of outcome, but at a single great social objective — eliminating poverty entirely, so that no single person lacks the material benefits of a full life, and only those who value poverty as a lifestyle (such as hermits or extreme ascetics, for example) would be poor.
Instead of expending valuable social capital trying to equalise incomes over the whole of society, the social capital of the altruistic society would be directed at raising the material levels of the least well off to sufficiency in material things. Above this level, the rest of society should be allowed to be as diverse as possible, to pursue its own individual interests (including the pursuit of wealth) to its heart's content.
Indeed, these two aspects of the altruistic society are complementary. The chief product of an altruistic society, in which individuals are free to pursue material wealth and to enjoy its fruits, would be a healthy, strong economy. This healthy, strong economy would provide the material resource for its own great social objective, to eliminate material poverty in that society.
Carried to its logical outcome, it would benefit the altruistic society to eliminate the chief agency of the equalitarian state — namely, income tax. This is not quite as strange or radical as it first seems. William Gladstone, perhaps the greatest left wing politician in British history, thought income tax (initially created as a "temporary" tax to generate extra state income for war) was iniquitous, not only because it resulted in gross state interference in individual liberty, but because he believed it represented a crude and highly inefficient means of redistributing wealth. During his various chancellorships Gladstone reduced income tax from 8p in the pound by various stages to 3p in the pound. At each reduction of income tax the economy was stimulated, and he gathered more revenue. Unfortunately, he never achieved his aim of eliminating income tax altogether.
In Gladstone's view the best, and fairest, way of taxing a population was through various kinds of sales tax. The beauty of sales tax is that it taxes consumption directly. And it is quintessentially fair. The more you consume, the more you pay. Its progressive quotient can be enhanced by placing high taxes on luxury goods — such as large, expensive cars — and low or no taxes on essentials such as food.
A second great advantage of sales taxes is that they are easily collected. Every time you buy a luxury item you pay tax. No tax collectors are necessary to pry into your individual affairs. No bureaucratic forms or complex and changing accounting formulas would be required to establish the level of tax payable. In fact, that part of the Inland Revenue which collects income tqax could be disbanded and its numerous, highly educated and capable functionaries redeployed to creative and productive work in the real economy. In addition the vast income tax avoidance industry which flows from the collection of income tax — and which has been the traditional bugbear of left wing economists — would also become redundant and its workers diverted to more productive occupations.
Currently, approximately half of all tax is generated by income tax, and approximately half by sales taxes of various kinds, such as VAT. The structure for collecting and enforcing sales taxes is already largely in place. Increasing the rate of sales taxes to take up the shortfall in income tax would hardly increase this existing structure at all.
An economy without income tax, and with every incentive for the individual to be as productive and creative as possible, would be a healthy and expanding economy. But it could also be a very "green" economy. The application of differential or graduated taxation according to environmental criteria could be a powerful instrument of green policy. Products or services with a high carbon footprint would be more heavily taxed, those with little or no carbon footprint less taxed or untaxed.
The elimination of poverty, never before achieved, could now be pursued with real purpose. Before doing so, poverty must not be defined in equalitarian terms, as some more-or-less arbitrary proportion of average incomes. It must be defined more precisely and objectively in material terms, as the amount of income required to lead a decent life without material want.
If the new generation of the Labour Party leadership wished to consider a genuinely revolutionary idea for a new society, it should consider whether the broad programme of the altruistic society is not superior to the older, traditional and divisive idea of an equalitarian society, with its morally dubious aims which remain always out of reach, its over-powerful state and its disastrous historical precedents.
By contrast, the altruistic society would liberate its population to earn as much as they are able within their talents and abilities, would require a tiny proportion of the vast administrative costs of the current equalitarian society to collect its graduated sales taxes, and (by directing its collective economic resources towards a primary aim) could achieve perhaps the greatest of all radical social objectives — the absolute elimination of material poverty.

Hudson River Almanac January 26 - February 4, 2004
Our run of 27 days with air temperatures below freezing in the Mid-Hudson area finally ended. Nonetheless, much of tidewater remains covered with ice in thick shelves or scattered floes. The Coast Guard has had lots of work to do. Some of the floes have drifted all the way to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, showing the net seaward flow of the estuary. With precipitation in the watershed remaining frozen as ice and snow, there is little runoff to the Hudson. As a result, the salt front has been creeping up the estuary just as it does in dry summer weather; it reached Newburgh Bay (HRM 60) on February 2.
2/3 - Town of Fishkill, HRM 63.5: I passed the cow pasture this afternoon on my way from the barn to the Manor House at DEC's Stony Kill Farm. One day after the official Groundhog Day, Mr. Woodchuck was up and out of his hole, peering around, perhaps trying to see his shadow again. Instead, he was looking at sleet, rain, and snow. It certainly seemed wise of him to flee back down the hole for six more weeks! - Jim Herrington
1/26 - George's Island, HRM 39: We were delighted to count 38 bald eagles in view at one time, all of them perched in shoreline trees on Dogan Point. - Andrew Courtney, Christopher Letts
1/26 - Croton River, HRM 34: This hard weather has concentrated waterfowl at the mouth of the Croton River, where open water is almost always to be found. The birds seem to have given up much of their (healthy) distrust of people, and close viewings are the rule. The diversity is pleasing to a bird afficionado - all those species, so closely gathered. The list at midday today included many mute swans, one tundra swan, many Canada geese, and one snow goose. Among the ducks were mallards, blacks, ruddys, buffleheads, canvasbacks, gadwall, goldeneye, and common and hooded mergansers. Four adult bald eagles presided over all. A lone coot did not stray far from the bridge abutments, either because the forage was better, or it wanted a safe refuge in case an eagle decided it was mealtime. - Christopher Letts
1/27 - Green's Cove, Verplanck, HRM 40: The ice sheets that had covered Green's Cove yesterday were gone this morning. The cove is home to a year-round resident population of Canada and domestic geese and mallards. This morning they were joined by a flock of canvasbacks, four mute swans and a great blue heron standing on the little floating dock. This may be the resident heron who normally fishes in Lake Meahagh, now iced-over and converted to a skating rink. - Pat Korn
1/28 - Mid-Hudson Valley: The valley received 10-15 inches of snow as a coastal storm brought moisture in from the Atlantic and drew cold air down from Canada. - National Weather Service
1/29 - Upper Nyack, HRM 31: The "Nyack iceberg" has failed to attract penguins, but my neighbor Gene Brown did spot four bald eagles sitting on it. Perhaps if we bought them tuxedos? - Dan Wolff
1/30 - Ramshorn Creek, Town of Catskill, HRM 112.2: On a cold day (15°F) I spotted the usual birds: black-capped chickadee, white-breasted nuthatch, tufted titmouse, golden-crowned kinglet, and a common flicker. The highlight was a lone hermit thrush. At the bridge over the Ramshorn was a rather large muskrat, probably making its way home. It waddled out from under the bridge - the tide was low - and scurried under the shelf of ice just south of the bridge. - Larry Federman
1/31 - Town of Poughkeepsie, HRM 68: On this frigid morning (air temperature 12°F, windchill -9°F) forty of us gathered to view bald eagles at Bowdoin Park. In the first hour we spotted five adults and one immature. A highlight was having the two adults from our lower Dutchess County nest in the spotting scope. A month ago they would have been perched in separate trees. Today, nearer the breeding season, they were so close together in an oak across the river that you could not see light between them. - Barbara Butler, Barbara Michelin, Lori McKean, Tom Lake
1/31 - Clermont, HRM 103.5: We got a great look at a light phase rough-legged hawk. They really are a spectacular bird. Our first winter here eleven years ago was cold and there were quite a few rough-legs around. Since then sghtings have been few and far between. Fran spotted the light head and we immediately knew it wasn't "just" another red-tailed hawk! We also saw a flock of two dozen horned larks. - Bill Drakert, Fran Drakert
1/31 - George's Island, HRM 39: In late afternoon we spotted six eagles (2 adults, 4 immatures) in the trees on Dogan Point. There was a lot of "bumping" going on as one bird would claim a perch already taken, and that bird would have to move to another. There were also eagles riding on ice floes out in the river across to the Rockland County side as well as some close flyovers. - Dorothy Furgeson, Bob Furgeson
2/1 - Mid-Hudson Valley: For the first time in 27 days, the air temperature rose above freezing (32°F). - National Weather Service
2/1 - Town of Newburgh, HRM 67: Four adult bald eagles and one immature were perched across the face of Soap Hill. Two of the adults were still cozily in each other's shadow. The channel was free of ice. It is amazing what a little February sun can do; it's shirtsleeve weather by comparison to past weeks. A mile upriver an oil barge was unloading at New Hamburg, shepherded by a tug. A short distance offshore an icebreaker, the Powhatan, stood by. In the rising tide, the heavy ice could move inshore, trapping the barge. - Tom Lake
2/1 - Alpine, NJ, HRM 18: From the State Line Lookout on the Palisades Parkway, I spotted an immature bald eagle working its way north just above the Palisades. From that height I was able to look down on the backs of two adults soaring below. - Dennis Minksy
2/1 - West Haverstraw, HRM 38.5: From Grassy Point we aimed our binoculars across the river. The trees along the south-facing side of Dogan Point were adorned with eagles. We counted at least a dozen adults and, without a scope, missed many immatures. A half dozen more (three adults, three immatures) were riding ice floes in the river. Near the Bowline Point Power Generating Facility we had our closest look at three adults and three immatures. Out in the river we saw canvasbacks, common mergansers, bufflehead, scaup, and a single goldeneye. - Dennis Minsky, Daniel Wolff
2/4 - Riverdale, HRM 14: We had an adult bald eagle soar past us, fifty feet off the ice, at the Riverdale Railroad Station. It is amazing how much lift those great wings generate. After a moment, just hanging there, it made a beautiful wing-over maneuver and disappeared amongst the ice floes. We yelled and pointed, but not one person even bothered to look up. - Ned Ames, Jane Sokolow
