Morningland Dairy is the latest attempt by the FDA to fulfill the Healthy People 2020 objective to kill raw dairy. Morningland is owned by Joseph and Denise Dixon, who operate the cheese plant and make raw cheese from cows kept right on the property and managed by one of their eldest daughters. They have 12 children, 4 who still live at home, and they have been actively engaged in real food for decades. They were caught up in the Rawesome Raid dragnet and many believe the questionable California Dept of Food and Agriculture tests on their cheese are the legal justification for the multi-agency guns drawn raid at Rawesome.

The guy I like who I am really close we had an argument one day about how I don't pay attention to him when he's trying to tell me something important. So after a big fight abotu this one day we sat down and talked about it. He really was hurt by the situation and poured out his feelings and he... Show More
Why does he contradict himself...
What Guys Said
It sounds like he thinks of you as more than just a friend, and he thinks you see him as just a big brother, it sounds like he wants to have a meaningful boyfriend/girlfriend type relationship with you and is getting frustrated that you don't seem to want more than what you already have with him. This is just my opinion based on what you've said, I could be wrong.
I've never said/treated him like a big brother. I am interested in him. I'm shy so maybe that's why he thinks so.
Well, he could think that you only see him as a big brother, because of your shyness, because you haven't taken any actions toward him to make him think you're interested in him, my suggestion to you would be say or do something to show your feelings for him.
Are you dating this guy? Have you been physical with him?
He might see you as more of a little sister than as a partner (or possible partner).
Or he might have simply been trying to say he feels protective towards you.
I suggest you ask him to define what he means, but using different words.
No I never dated him nor been physical. I'm interested in him but he said taht big brother comment yet he says a lot of playful or sexual innuendos.

By Anne-Marie Botek, AgingCare.com Editor
Cognitive reserve, the term used to describe the mechanism by which a person's mind can compensate for damage to their brain, has become a buzzword in the medical community, thanks to its connection to one of the most infamous issues of modern aging: dementia.
Research indicates that people who have solid stores of cognitive reserve are generally less likely to exhibit the classic signs of dementia—short-term memory loss, difficulty multitasking, etc.—even if their brain scans indicate mental damage. This is because cognitive reserve effectively makes the mind stronger and more nimble, enabling it to come up with ways to compensate for disease-related loss of functioning.
Seek out and embrace new challenges; your brain will thank you
Shlomo Breznitz, Ph.D., founder of Cognifit and author of Maximum Brainpower: Challenging the Brain for Health and Wisdom, feels that finding ways to consistently engage the brain with new and stimulating experiences is the key to cultivating more cognitive reserve and staving off mental decline.
No matter what age they are, Breznitz stresses that starting a cognitive fitness regimen may help a person ward off the symptoms of dementia. "Our cognitive skills are not fixed. At all ages the brain has the ability to respond to new information and new stimuli," he says.
More confusion now may mean less confusion later
According to Breznitz, the twin traits of novelty and variety are invaluable when coming up with activities to enhance cognitive reserve. Sudoku and crosswords alone won't work, he says. You've got to get creative when coming up with ways to stimulate the brain.
In the same way elite athletes and their trainers use the concept of muscle confusion (varying the types and duration of exercises to expose weaknesses and challenge muscles in new ways) to maximize their physical fitness, switching up the things you do to engage your mental muscle can help maximize your mental fitness.
"Challenging the brain helps maintain cognitive vigor and capacity. And maintaining our cognitive health maintains our quality of life," Breznitz says.

The New Generation Philippine Banknotes
I. Abstract
Counterfeiting money is a big business for criminals. Nearly $70 million of fake currency gets used daily, costing consumers millions.

These new features include more advanced photo editing, which features micro printing on the different images and texts on the banknotes, a unique rough texture, a new system of serial numbering, advanced security fibers and security threads, watermark technology, and optically variable ink. These are the most advanced and efficient methods of preventing money counterfeiting today. Provided in this paper is a detailed explanation and description of each security precaution and a detailed review of the methods used to execute them.
II. Denominations of Currency
The new generation Philippine banknotes composes of the denominations twenty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, five hundred, and one thousand peso bills. The new twenty-piso bill honors President Manuel L. Quezon, the first President of the Republic of the Philippines on the front of the bill while the reverse shows the image of the breathtaking Banaue Rice Teraces and the Palm Civet from the Cordilleras. The fifty-piso bill commemorates President Sergio Osmeña who led our country at the critical stage of World War II. The reverse shows an image of the Taal Lake, one of the world's smallest active volcanoes and the Maliputo Fish. The one hundred-piso bill pays...

absolutmofo and aj101 I appreciate the irony of the situation, but you are only proving my point. Since I've been in Austalia, it's been a never ending barage of sheep jokes, one of my co-workers even downloaded a clip of someone shagging a sheep (I nearly threw up), so is this your idea acceptable behaviour or I am in some way justified in my veiws? I am open minded, but if the only thing I am presented with is loud yobbo wannabe americans who can't get past sheep jokes, don't condemn my point of veiw.

Get Ready for Fleece, Fun, and Wooly Wonders…
Fluffy Wool Collected Goes to Those in Need
The highlight of this event is seeing the sheep-shearing process in action. Visitors can watch as the fluffy sheep are helped out of their winter coats by expert shearer Peter Sepe. As the fleece festivities continue, zoo-goers will learn about spinning, cleaning, dyeing, and other wool-processing techniques.
Over 100 lbs of wool was collected after last year's sheep shearing event. Recently, the zoo had those bales of wool turned into skeins of yarn that were donated to several charitable organizations. About 30 skeins of yarn from the Jacob's four-horned sheep, Suffolk sheep, and other breeds were donated to Project Linus, Knit for Infants, Hearts and Hands of Love – all charities which knit garments and blankets for those in need.
Activities at this year's Sheep Shearing Weekend include:
You Can do What with Wool?
Ever wonder how your favorite cozy sweater is made or how it gets that vibrant hue? An expert wool processor will enlighten visitors by showing various spinning and dying techniques.
Fantastic Farm Facts
Education stations will highlight facts about the zoo's many domestic animals, including pigs, goats, llamas, and of course, the sheep.
Crafts for Kids
Kids can also make their very own farm-tastic sheep puppets.
Sheep Shearing Weekend at WCS's Queens Zoo is free with admission to the zoo.

About Me Movie Buff
Comments about Out Of The Fog:
The sets were the best thing about this film. The cinematography was remarkable for a low budget film-you could feel the grime and rundown area they lived. Anything with Ida Lupino is worth watching once.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Out Of The Fog shines !
By Charlie B
from Charlotte, NC
Out Of The Fog has a great setting around foggy Sheepshead Bay docks where two old guys fish from a small motor boat and dream of a bigger boat and bigger fishing trips. One of the fishermen (Thomas Mitchell) has a beautiful but bored daughter (Ida Lupino) who falls for the small-time hood who extorts protection money from the fishing buddies. John Garfield is great as the cruel and callous hood who has a soft spot for Lupino. Film Noir requires a sense of moral amiguity and dramatic tension which are present in the timid fishermen's struggle to save Lupino from the evil John Garfield . This is not the darkest noir I've ever seen, but it is an enjoyable watch with a good resolution !
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For those familiar with the legendary output of the Group Theatre in the 1930s & 1940s, this film is a MUST. There are probably few films which exemplify the capabilities of the Group; but this one is among the BEST. Based on a Group theatrical production by Irwin Shaw, the script has been translated superbly to the screen by Robert Rossen, Jerry Wald and Richard Macaulay, with Group legend John Garfield at his predatory best, with incredible cinematography by James Wong Howe.The story is simple: a con man terrorizes a waterfront town, offering his "protection services" to the town's inhabitants as insurance that damage won't be done their property (by the con man, of course). While the initial prices are nominal, they begin to increase as the con man begins to understand what his victims value most. At the point where he begins a relationship with the daughter of one of his victims, the tide begins to turn, and his victims begin to plot against him.As the two chief victims, Thomas Mitchell and John Qualen are delightfully innocent, looking forward to going fishing after work a few nights a week, and entirely out of their league when the con man enters their lives. Ida Lupino is magnificent as Mitchell's daughter, as she can perform equally well as the small town girl, older than her years, as well as the street-wise man-magnet, who seeks an exit from the traps of her sheltered existence. The cast is filled out by Eddie Albert as Ida Lupino's small town boyfriend, as well as a supporting cast of oddball characters seemingly lifted whole from a William Saroyan backlot.But this film belongs to John Garfield as the con man. Garfield owns every scene in which he appears, and can be simultaneously charming and slimy. His command of the simple gestures of life are brilliantly outstanding, and would be emulated in years to come by James Dean, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and other lesser actors who attempted a natural performance through Stanislavsky/Method acting. But Garfield was there before them; and his performance is as fresh and fascinating today, as it was in 1941 when this film was first released. If you enjoy watching a great actor in his prime, catch John Garfield in "Out Of The Fog." This is a forgotten classic, and needs wider exposure.

Worldwide the interest from the law enforcing organizations towards rolling up botnets is increasing. Only a month ago the Dutch police arrested three men who were controlling a net containing an estimated 1500000 machines.
Now Jeanson James Ancheta, 20, of Downey, California has been arrested last Tuesday by the FBI. Apparently it is the first time that a person has been arrested who is selling time on his botnet to outsiders.
He will have to stand trial for a total of 17 counts, including causing damage to protected computers, causing damage to computers owned by the government, fraud and money laundering. Machines found in the potnet belonged to the Weapons Division of the United States Naval Air Warfare Center in China Lake and the Defense Information Systems Agency, both part of the United States Department of Defense.
He also used his botnet for sending spam and DDoS.
He used IRC both to control the bots, and to advertise his 'services' to interested parties.
If convicted, he can face up to 50 years in prison.

Hope Rural School unveils CHARACTER COUNTS! Pavilion
INDIANTOWN - Hope Rural School in Indiantown recently unveiled the CHARACTER COUNTS! Pavilion during a special ceremony where longtime supporters were recognized for their contributions.
The CHARACTER COUNTS! Pavilion, which also includes six themed Pillar of Character benches, will provide students and teachers with a covered area for outdoor educational activities.
Sister Mary Dooley began the ceremony by dedicating each of the six custom made benches to the following people: Trustworthiness, Sister Marie Celeste for her 18 years as director of Hope Rural School; Respect, Timer Powers for being a peacemaker and bearer of hope for all cultures; Responsibility, the Rev. Frank O'Loughlin for co-founding Hope Rural School; Fairness, Edward Ricci for 33 years of service as a board member; Caring, Sister Carol Putnam for co-founding Hope Rural School; and Citizenship, Nathanial Reed for 30 years of service as a board member.
After the benches were dedicated attention then turned to the CHARACTER COUNTS! Pavilion, which was dedicated to Paul Siefker for his 33 years of unwavering support.
"Paul has been part of the Hope Rural School even before it opened its doors in 1980 and is somebody who embodies all of the Six Pillars of Character," Sister Mary Dooley said.
Siefker then cut the celebratory ribbon signifying the official opening of the CHARACTER COUNTS! Pavilion and Father Frank O'Loughlin closed the ceremony with his blessing.
"It is our honor and pleasure to recognize all of these people for their guidance," Sister Mary Dooley said. "Everyone at Hope Rural School has benefited from their support; especially the students who learn from an early age what it means to be a person of character."
Although highly identified with schools, CHARACTER COUNTS!, a program of United Way of Martin County, is an initiative for people of all ages and walks of life. The program is embraced by government, law enforcement and businesses in Martin County. For more information, visit www.charactercounts.net or call 772-283-4800, ext. 234.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
Active participation in clubs and organizations is stressed for all students to develop their leadership skills outside the classroom.
Students are encouraged to get involved and even form new clubs if the clubs currently in existence are not meeting their interests or needs.
After answering these few questions, you and your fellow students are ready to begin the application process for a charter.
Request Registered Club & Organization status: Follow the steps in the Clubs & Orgs Registration & Renewal webpage. Registered Status is a trial period for new clubs & orgs. After the first semester as a registered club & org you are allowed to apply for full Chartered Status.
Receive training (includes Risk Management Training*): All officers of a student club & org are required to receive training each academic year. Advisors must receive training every three years. This training will not only go over state requirements for Risk Management but also helpful information on how you can operate on campus and offer tools and resources to make your club & org a success! Training is offered at the beginning of each semester. * Risk Management Training is required by the state of Texas.
Request Chartered status: After your club has been a registered club/organization for one full semester you may request to be a Chartered Club & Organization. Once your request has been accepted, your application for Chartered Status will go to the Student Government Senate for review. After the senate reviews the request final approval may be granted. Student Activities will notify you in writing once the process has been completed and your charter has been approved.

As soon as you walk into a Kennedy's All-American Barber Club®, you'll be transported back to a time when barbershops provided real men a place where they shared common values, where they could relax, and where they could enjoy meaningful conversation with old friends and new acquaintances. This is the Authentic Barbershop Experience, and it's what we work hard to create every day at each of our Kennedy's Clubs.
Your Kennedy's Experience begins when you're first greeted (by name) by one of our Club Managers or Professional Barbers. You'll be offered a complimentary beverage — your choice of a soft-drink, beer, coffee or water — and you'll find a nice selection of reading material in our comfortable waiting area until your scheduled appointment time. One of our barbers will then invite you to be seated in one of our plush leather barber chairs. We've been told by some of our Members that they feel like a "King" in our chairs, so get ready to receive the pampering you deserve.
The full Kennedy's Experience comprises two parts. First, your barber will ask you how you prefer your hair to be cut so that it best fits your lifestyle and grooming habits. Our award-winning Signature Haircut includes a shampoo, a conditioning scalp massage, straight-razor edging of your sideburns and neck, and finishes with a neck and shoulder massage and hot towel.
The second part of the Kennedy's Experience is our Signature Straight-Razor Shave. If this is your first straight-razor shave, your barber will summarize our 30-step shave process, and then proceed to quietly talk you through the steps as they're performed. Once you become a Member at Kennedy's and are familiar with the process, your barber will simply let you relax — you may even doze off for a "power-nap" during your shave as many of our Members do. At the end of all this, your barber will explain which grooming products he used and how you can best use these in your own home, too (watch our video for the best possible shave . . . outside of visiting a Kennedy's Club).
On your way out, you'll stop by the reception area to schedule your next visit or confirm your next standing appointment (if you're a Member). You can also stock up on any grooming products you might need.
Until Kennedy's came along, this kind of nostalgic grooming experience is something you'd only hear about from your grandfather or maybe see in an old movie. Isn't it time for you to experience this for yourself at a Kennedy's near you?

Gallery of Bird Mummies under
the tomb -399-
Salima Ikram
A sample of packages was taken for further study
and unwrapping. One (Bird 1) of these contained a
few bones embedded in the black goo. These were wrapped
in a shroud then wrapped with spirally bound bandages
that averaged between 4 and 6 cm in width. These were
covered in string that was wound vertically and horizontally
around the package and secured by a few more layers
of spirally bound bandages. The bones have been tentatively
identified as belonging to a raptor. Other mummies
merely contained ibis feathers that had been tied
together with papyrus and then wrapped before being
coated with the black substance. The majority of the
mummies contained ibises that were positioned as if
they were seated. Their heads are either pushed back
over the back (Bird 2) or tucked under a wing (generally
the right wing). It is unclear if they were killed
by having their necks broken or if they died through
natural means (rather unlikely given their number
and the tendency to kill votive offering in order
to prepare the mummies ). They do not seem to be eviscerated
and there is limited residue of natron or salt. Many
of the ibis mummies alternated their bandage layers
with linen thread that was wound around the birds
in no regular pattern.
The agglomeration of mummies wrapped in a large piece
of linen that was secured by knotting its ends were
always very blackened and ill prepared. The larger
pieces of linen that contained the 4 or 5 mummies
were, in at least three cases, very interesting (Bag
II in particular) as they show strips of a different
weave stitched onto the plainer linen. An example
of this was handed in to the conservator for conservation
and study. One of these bags (Bird 4) was inscribed
in reddish-brown ink on one side in Demotic, with
an ankh drawn in the centre of the text. This remains
to be translated and might tie in with the Demotic
graffiti found in TT11 and TT12. None of the other
bags examined were inscribed.
There are many questions regarding this deposit that
still await answers. These include: the location of
the entrance to the catacombs, a chapel or temple
associated with the deposit, if this particular area
was chosen because of Djehuty's name or due
to a natural or man-made feature nearby, the location
of the embalmer's workshop, and the location
of the ibis (and raptor?) farm. Perhaps the Demotic
graffiti in the tombs will shed light on at least
some of these questions.

Krugman vs. EstoniaSunday, June 10th, 2012
Johns Hopkins University economist Steve Hanke on why New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is wrong about Estonia's tax and spending reforms.
Faustam fortuna adiuvat
American and Latin American Politics, Society, and Culture.
Johns Hopkins University economist Steve Hanke on why New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is wrong about Estonia's tax and spending reforms.
The rolling disaster that the European Union has become continues,
Spain downgraded again, at risk of junk status, or close to becoming a new bra size at Victoria's Secret,
Spain's sovereign debt rating was slashed three steps Thursday by credit rating agency Fitch, which warned that the nation is at risk of being downgraded into junk bond status.
The nation's debt rating was cut from "A" all the way to "BBB," the lowest rating that is considered investment grade. And the new rating was given a negative outlook, meaning it at risk for further downgrades.
France's new president, François Hollande, must think this is a good thing (if he's thinking)
France intends to lower the legal retirement age from 62 to 60 for a small class of workers, the government announced Wednesday, maintaining a campaign pledge by the newly elected president, the Socialist François Hollande, and partly undoing a major change by his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy.
The change will allow people who entered the work force at age 18 or 19 to retire with full state pensions at 60, instead of 62, assuming they have paid into the pension system for 41 or 41.5 years, the period typically required to qualify for full state benefits. Exemptions for short periods of unemployment will be added and those for maternity leave will be extended.
The pension change is expected to bring more than 110,000 additional retirements next year, at a cost to the state of more than $1.25 billion, the president's office said in a statement, but is to be paid for entirely by a 0.1 percent rise in taxes on employees and companies. The decree is expected to take effect in November.
As if France could afford the retirees it has now??
Meanwhile, the only EU economy with annual growth of 7.6% (a whopping FIVE TIMES the euro-zone average) gets dissed by Paul Krugman.
Yes, the death-panels-and-sales-taxes guy whose blog is richly titled The Conscience of a Liberal, who will tell you that "the French have it right" when it comes to healthcare. The very same Krugman who puts to use the good-old "lies, damned lies and statistics", or, as Bruce McQuain calls it, statistical cherry-picking.
As it turns out, Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves (background here) saw Krugman's tweet, and, voila! Flame war!
Let's write about something we know nothing about & be smug, overbearing & patronizing: after all, they're just wogs: krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/06/est…

Estonia and Austerity: Another Exploding Cigar for Paul Krugman
Economist Steve Hanke explains it, Prof. Krugman: Ace of the Ad Hominem Smear
Prof. Paul Krugman's New York Times column of March 27th, "American Thought Police," made this startling assertion: "the hard right — which these days is more or less synonymous with the Republican Party — has a modus operandi when it comes to scholars expressing views it dislikes: never mind the substance, go for the smear." What would Dr. Freud say? Well, after careful study of Prof. Krugman's works and one trip to the couch, Dr. Freud diagnosed the patient and proclaimed, "projection bias." Yes, the ace of the ad hominem smear is simply projecting his own attributes and habits of mind and deed to others.
Speaking of "go for the smear", read about The Paranoid Style in Liberal Politics
The left's obsession with the Koch brothers. A lengthy article which illustrates at what lengths the Left will go.
Paul Krugman must have been reading Trollope's The Fixed Period, at least the part about avoiding the decrepitude and expenses of old age:
Paul Krugman Recommends 'Death Panels' to Help Balance Budget
RUTH MARCUS, WASHINGTON POST: Right now, 75 percent of people believe you could balance the budget without touching Medicare or Social Security; 75 percent of people believe that you can balance the budget without raising taxes. Well, you could, but it would be extraordinarily painful.
People need to get a little bit of reality therapy. There's going to be another dose coming on Wednesday when another group is going to submit their recommendations, very concrete recommendations about how to do it. That's the conversation we need to have before we start picking apart solutions.
PAUL KRUGMAN, NEW YORK TIMES: If they were going to do reality therapy, they should have said, OK, look, Medicare is going to have to decide what it's going to pay for. And at least for starters, it's going to have to decide which medical procedures are not effective at all and should not be paid for at all. In other words, it should have endorsed the panel that was part of the health care reform.
If it's not even — if the commission isn't even brave enough to take on the death panels people, then it's doing no good at all. It's not educating the public. It's not telling people about the kinds of choices that need to be made.
A few minutes later:
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, HOST: But what is going to happen? I mean, are you clear on where a compromise is going to be? It's got to be discussed before the end of the year, no?
KRUGMAN: No. Some years down the pike, we're going to get the real solution, which is going to be a combination of death panels and sales taxes. It's going to be that we're actually going to take Medicare under control, and we're going to have to get some additional revenue, probably from a VAT. But it's not going to happen now.
Death and taxes: the progressive answer to every problem?23833

That excellent government-provided "free healthcare" in FranceFriday, January 16th, 2009
Back in 2003 15,000 elderly and infirm people died during a heat wave in France, many of them while waiting in hospital emergency rooms. The government-provided "free healthcare" has been, and continues to be, a disaster. Currently, 10,000 people die every year of "medical accidents", and there are an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 "serious undesirable events" i.e., errors per year.
Erik Svane of No Pasarán has been following the story here and here.
The original article (in French) first came out at JDD on January 10, and the numbers were quoted by Dr. Philippe Juvin,, professor of anesthesia and head of the emergency room at Beaujon Hospital. Dr. Juvin is also national secretary for health for the UMP party.
French Minister for Health Roselyne Bachelot confirmed Dr. Juvin's numbers on January 14 (article in French).
Just so you know.
Sanjay for Surgeon GeneralWednesday, January 7th, 2009
Obama Wants Journalist Gupta for Surgeon General
President-elect Barack Obama has offered the job of surgeon general to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the neurosurgeon and correspondent for CNN and CBS, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.
Gupta has told administration officials that he wants the job, and the final vetting process is under way.
James Joyner was hoping for Dr. Phil, Roarin Rep wanted Dr Oz, I was hoping for House, M.D.
As it turns out, Gupta is very qualified for the job. In addition to his impressive CV, Krugman doesn't like him, because Gupta doesn't like Michael Moore:
But I do remember his mugging of Michael Moore over Sicko. You don't have to like Moore or his film; but Gupta specifically claimed that Moore "fudged his facts"
Althouse examines the Gupta-Moore argument,
Krugman's link — at "mugging" — goes to a USA Today article about the conflict, which mainly dealt with the amount of money spent on medical care per person in the United States compared to Cuba. You can see Gupta and Moore having it out on the Larry King show on video here or read the transcript here. The fact that Gupta actually did get some numbers wrong overshadows the policy dispute: Moore wants the government to pay for all medical care for everyone, and Gupta thinks Moore might be right, but that things are more complex than Moore will admit.
It's true, as Krugman says, that Moore comes across as an uncouth outsider and that we tend to feel an instinctive aversion to him. And Gupta is couth, an expert at projecting competence, expertise, and level-headedness. And Krugman is right that the uncouth speaker may be right when the couth speaker is wrong. On this occasion, Gupta got some things wrong, and where he was wrong, he quickly and clearly corrected himself and apologized. That's part of the couth style. So where is this "lack of accountability" that Krugman talks about? Gupta didn't get away with mistakes by speaking "in a socially acceptable way." Gupta was immediately called to account, and he stepped up to it.
And what of Moore? Is he accountable? Moore may have not been wrong on this occasion, but he's been wrong in the past about plenty of things, and his entire filmmaking style is based on a strong point of view — that is, bias — that involves distortion and emotive exaggeration. Does Moore make corrections and apologize? He method involves going doggedly forward toward his predetermined goals — like government-managed health care or opposition to the war or gun control.
On a related subject: As readers of this blog know, the so-called excellent Cuban healthcare is in such shambles that Cubans who have no dollars or access to foreigners-only clinics have to procure and bring their own suture thread to the hospital before they can have surgery.
Krugman wins Nobel PrizeMonday, October 13th, 2008
Paul Krugman Wins the Nobel Economics Prize (also at the NYT)
Princeton economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman won the Nobel economics prize on Monday for his analysis of how economies of scale can affect trade patterns and the location of economic activity.
Good thing he didn't win it on the merits of his assessment of the French helthcare system.
The Nobel Prize is never posthumous — it is only awarded to living persons. So some great minds such as John Maynard Keynes and Fischer Black never received the prize in Economics. All that has changed. With today's award to Paul Krugman, the Nobel as gone to an economist who died a decade ago. The person alive to receive the award is merely a public intellectual, a person operating in the same domain as Oprah Winfrey. And even as a public intellectual, the prize is inappropriate, because never before has a scientist operating in the capacity of a public intellectual so abused and debased the science he purports to represent. Krugman's New York Times column drawing on economics is the equivalent of 2006's Nobelists in Physics, astromers Mather and Smoot, doing a column on astrology — and then, in that column, telling lies about astronomy.
But what's done is done. The only question now is whether Krugman will pay taxes on the prize at the low rates enabled by the Bush tax cuts he has done so much to discredit, or if he will volunteer to pay taxes at higher rates he considers more fair.
$5 says, the Bush rates.
The Insufferability Poll! (h/t TigerHawk)
The Krugman Tax for Undeserved Prizes, since Nobel proceeds are tax-exempt.
Gone are the days when you actually had to work for a Nobel Peace PrizeMonday, October 15th, 2007
Linus Pauling, who is the only person to win two undivided Nobel Prizes, won one in Chemistry in 1954 for his work applying quantum mechanics to chemistry, and eight years later one in Peace for his work against above-ground nuclear testing. In his spare time Pauling also worked towards developing the electrical car. While most people of our parents' generation remember Pauling as the guy who wanted you to take vitamin C, Pauling is regarded as one of the outstanding scientists of all time.
Back in the olden days people like Albert Schweitzer, who was a medical doctor, a concert organist and a great humanitarian, won Nobel Peace Prizes. Schweitzer was also a theologian and a philosopher who believed that Western civilization was in decline for having abandoned the affirmation of life as its ethical foundation. He lived by his beliefs and spent most of his life working as a doctor in what is now Gabon, Africa.
Now you get a Nobel Prize for making a movie about yourself.
Al Gore, who the Nobel Prize announcer called Albert Arnold Algore Jr., made a movie that British courts found partisan, ruling last week that it contains no fewer than eleven material inaccuracies that need to be drawn to students' attention if it is going to be shown in schools. That's the movie the Nobel Prize Committee praises as an effort "to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change".
Gore, unlike Schweitzer, is not depriving himself of the pleasures of a home that consumes electricity at a rate of about 12 times that of a typical house in Nashville. Gore also favors private jets instead of public airlines when he travels.
The Committee says that climate change (what ever happened to global warming?) might lead to wars and violent conflicts, hence the Prize. Those involved in the fight of their lives, the fight for liberty and democracy while oppressed by dictatorships, like the Buddhist monks in Burma, or the Ladies in White in Cuba, better come up with their own movies or they'll get no prize at all.
I have referred to the Peace Prize as the Norwegian Badge of Uselessness, as we look at the awardees:
1988: The UN Peacekeeping forces, who have distinguished themselves after receiving their prize by their rapes and sex abuse, along with bribery and corruption, in places like Kosovo, Angola, Guinea and Congo.
1992: Rigoberta Menchu Tum, who lied about her life in Guatemala.
1994: Yasser Arafat, the inventor of skyjackings and father of modern terrorism.
2001: The UN and Kofi Annan, perpetrators of the largest scam in the history of mankind, the $30 billion dollar Oil-For-Food scandal.
2002: Jimmy Carter, who goes around the world certifying the elections as "open and democratic", after spending less than twenty-four hours in country.
2004: Wangari Maatai, who preaches that AIDS is a virus created by Da Man.
2005: The International Atomic Energy Agency and Mohamed el-Baradei, who have yet to stop North Korea or anyone else from developing nuclear weapons.
I'm not even counting Betty Williams (1976) who earlier this year said she could kill George Bush, or Mikhail Gorbachev (1990) who embraced peace after losing the Cold War, and let's not forget Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho (1973) for that "peace with honor" bit.
Small wonder that the Venezuelan government news agency wants us to believe that Hugo Chavez was a finalist for the prize in 2005. Hugo's certainly buying enough weapons and making deals with Russia and Iran to earn himself a Prize down the line.
This year Al Gore won an Oscar, an Emmy and a Nobel Peace Prize. At this rate he may run for president again, or instead he may star on a one-man show on Broadway featuring the world's most famous Powerpoint presentation. If he wins a Tony award for that, he'll then outdo Rita Moreno, who hasn't won a Nobel Peace Prize yet.
And here are the ones who didn't win:
The prize was also not awarded to Morgan Tsvangirai, Arthur Mutambara and other Zimbabwe opposition leaders who were arrested and in some cases beaten by police earlier this year while protesting peacefully against dictator Robert Mugabe.
Or to Father Nguyen Van Ly, a Catholic priest in Vietnam arrested this year and sentenced to eight years in prison for helping the pro-democracy group Block 8406.
Or to Wajeha al-Huwaider and Fawzia al-Uyyouni, co-founders of the League of Demanders of Women's Right to Drive Cars in Saudi Arabia, who are waging a modest struggle with grand ambitions to secure basic rights for women in that Muslim country.
Or to Colombian President Àlvaro Uribe, who has fought tirelessly to end the violence wrought by left-wing terrorists and drug lords in his country.
Or to Garry Kasparov and the several hundred Russians who were arrested in April, and are continually harassed, for resisting President Vladimir Putin's slide toward authoritarian rule.
Or to the people of Iraq, who bravely work to rebuild and reunite their country amid constant threats to themselves and their families from terrorists who deliberately target civilians.
Or to Presidents Viktor Yushchenko and Mikheil Saakashvili who, despite the efforts of the Kremlin to undermine their young states, stayed true to the spirit of the peaceful "color" revolutions they led in Ukraine and Georgia and showed that democracy can put down deep roots in Russia's backyard.
Or to Britain's Tony Blair, Ireland's Bertie Ahern and the voters of Northern Ireland, who in March were able to set aside decades of hatred to establish joint Catholic-Protestant rule in Northern Ireland.
Or to thousands of Chinese bloggers who run the risk of arrest by trying to bring uncensored information to their countrymen.
Or to scholar and activist Saad Eddin Ibrahim, jailed presidential candidate Ayman Nour and other democracy campaigners in Egypt.
Or, posthumously, to lawmakers Walid Eido, Pierre Gemayel, Antoine Ghanem, Rafik Hariri, George Hawi and Gibran Tueni; journalist Samir Kassir; and other Lebanese citizens who've been assassinated since 2005 for their efforts to free their country from Syrian control.
Or to the Reverend Phillip Buck; Pastor Chun Ki Won and his organization, Durihana; Tim Peters and his Helping Hands Korea; and Liberty in North Korea, who help North Korean refugees escape to safety in free nations.
But leave it to Paul Krugman who is (finally!, after being freed from the Times Select premium) getting some mileage out of being ridiculous,
What is it about Mr. Gore that drives right-wingers insane?
What, indeed, Paul, why don't you tell us?
Which brings us to the biggest reason the right hates Mr. Gore: in his case the smear campaign has failed. He's taken everything they could throw at him, and emerged more respected, and more credible, than ever. And it drives them crazy.
That must be it! Of course!
And how can Paul be wrong, when he knows that the French got it right when it comes to healthcare?
Erik at No Pasaran's been giving Al the respect he is due:
Maybe if Paul keeps it up, he'll get his own poster, too, green camo shirt and all.
For a Nobel Peace Prize, Paul's going to make himself a Powerpoint presentation and a movie.
Jules Crittenden and Siggy take on the goracle. Tim Blair looks at the unclean Europe, but Mark Steyn remembers the cows.

Conservatives aren't joking, PaulFriday, October 5th, 2007
This morning Paul Kurgman was saying that Conservatives Are Such Jokers:
Today's leading conservatives are Reagan's heirs. If you're poor, if you don't have health insurance, if you're sick — well, they don't think it's a serious issue. In fact, they think it's funny.
I don't know what conservatives Krugman may be talking to, or if he's even talked to any. Maybe he should come to Washington for the afternoon.
Yesterday seven Congressmen addressed a rally in Congress: All of them are urging earmark reform through the Discharge Petition. The petition would make each earmark's sponsor publicly defend each earmark. Here's a video:
The rally was by the attendees of the Defending the American Dream conference in Washington DC, and the focus is on
policies that are threatening to destroy the American Dream – higher taxes, more spending, burdensome regulation, and endless red-tape.
There were 200 hundred people attending the rally in the hot afternoon sun.
Giuliani: "It's your money, it should be your choice."
Defending the Dream is posting more videos.
Kurgman believes that
What's happening, presumably, is that modern movement conservatism attracts a certain personality type. If you identify with the downtrodden, even a little, you don't belong. If you think ridicule is an appropriate response to other peoples' woes, you fit right in.
Krugman ridicules the very people who are meeting in DC trying to bring about real prosperity and continuing growth to our country, people of every race, economic status, educational background. People on wheel chairs. Blind people. Single parents of young children struggling to make ends meet, and empty-nesters with vacation homes. People whose properties have been taken away by the government trough the abuse of eminent domain.
Krugman doesn't know what the real world looks like.
It would be a good thing if he would come and listen to the people here, because these conservatives aren't joking.

via press release:
(Santa Monica, Calif. – February 22, 2012) – Nickelodeon has signed fourteen year-old singing sensation Rachel Crow to an overall talent deal, it was announced today by Paula Kaplan, Executive Vice President, Talent Strategy and West Coast Operations. As part of the new pact, Nickelodeon is developing a comedy series for Crow, who is best known for her buzz-worthy performances on Fox's singing competition series The X Factor.
In addition, Crow has been signed by Columbia Records/Syco, label home to some of the world's leading recording artists.
"It's such an honor to be signed to Columbia Records," said Crow. "To think that I am signed to the same label as my idols is a dream come true. I can't wait to get in the studio and start making music." Added Crow, "And I am so excited to now be a part of the Nickelodeon family. I grew up watching Nick, and I'm a huge fan."
Simon Cowell, The X Factor judge and Rachel Crow's mentor during the show said, "I am incredibly happy for Rachel. This girl has it. We saw her potential at the first audition and Nickelodeon and Columbia are the right homes for her."
"Rachel is an original," said Kaplan. "She's funny, genuine and has raw talent and a passion for performing. We're delighted to be home to her first acting project and think she is poised to join the ranks of our next generation of Nick stars."
In addition to plans for her to star in a new pilot for the network, Crow is slated to appear in a recurring role in Nickelodeon's new comedy series FRED: THE SHOW appearing opposite Lucas Cruikshank. Crow will play Starr, an imaginative, confident but awkward teenager. Like Fred, Starr's self-perception doesn't match up with how the world sees her. To her classmates, she seems a bit eccentric, but in her own mind, Starr is a wildly talented actress and singer and ready to break out of her boring town. FRED: THE SHOW airs on Friday nights.
From Colorado, Rachel Crow was fostered as a young baby by Barbara and Kelly Crow. Crow sang her first song (Faith Hill's "Breathe") at 18 months- old and first performed in public at age six as part of her school's talent show. Her parents brought her to Los Angeles in 2010 to support her dream of being a performer and she auditioned at age 13 for The X Factor in early 2011. After being chosen as a contestant out of over 100,000 people who auditioned for season 1 of The X Factor (USA), she wowed audiences with her powerful voice and bubbly personality and placed fifth in the competition for the season. A fan favorite and darling among the judges, L.A. Reid deemed her a "funky, feisty singer with soul" with Simon Cowell declaring that audiences would be "hearing a lot more about her."
Rachel is managed by Jared Paul and Joshua Russak for Azoff, Geary, Paul, Smith Management.

Mapping with Google Spreadsheets
Wednesday, February 13, 2008
On the Google Earth Outreach team we're always looking for ways to help non-profits share their stories. One great way to spread your message is by creating a layer for Google Earth or Maps. You probably know by now that placemarks can be created using something called KML. Most people think this file format is really hard to use, but with the help of Google Spreadsheets and a little imagination, you too can create your own layers. And to make creating placemarks in Maps and Earth even easier, we've just released our new and improved Spreadsheet Mapper 2.0 tool. Instead of getting bogged down maintaining a bunch of KML code, this tool lets you:
- Create up to 400 placemarks.
- Use our six ready-made balloon designs to create great-looking placemarks.
- Create and share your own balloon designs by using a simple HTML templating system.
For added inspiration, see how the folks from Edge of Existence used this tool to showcase their top 100 most Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) mammalian and amphibian species. And it's not just for organizations; we encourage anyone who is looking to create their own layer in Maps or Earth to try it out.

Is there anything wrong with submitting multiple binding Early Action applications?
Law School Applications / Schools asking about competitors -- "how many schools are you applying to?"« on: October 06, 2009, 05:52:08 PM »
Many law school applications I've seen ask which other schools the applicant is applying to. What should I put for this question?
Personal Statement / Resume Length« on: August 28, 2009, 11:58:46 PM »
Hello Everyone,
How long should law school application resumes be? Do they want concise 1-page professional ones, or multipage "activity dump" ones filled with every minute detail of your undergrad activities?
Financial Aid / Re: Rumor -- Grants dissapear for grad/law students?« on: August 27, 2009, 11:40:53 PM »
Does need-based aid still exist? For example, in undergrad, my college calculated the cost of attendance, subtracted my Expected Family Contribution, and then met the difference with a combination of grants and loans. My friend is basically saying that the grants during this step disappears, and that the law school meets your "need" completely with loans.
Financial Aid / Rumor -- Grants dissapear for grad/law students?« on: August 26, 2009, 04:27:06 PM »
Hello All,
A close, and usually well-informed friend told me with a degree of certainty that "grants don't exist for grad/law students; it's all loans." Is this true?
Law School Applications / Adopting« on: May 08, 2009, 01:21:23 PM »
Adopting seems like a good idea. Adopting an URM might give that person more opportunities than birth.

I feel my parents' income truly affected me in profound ways.
Minority Topics / Adoption and Identity?« on: March 24, 2009, 03:00:54 PM »
As an adoptee from an illegitimate birth, is it my right to create ethnic identity, or am I confined to the race/ethnicity of my adoptive parents?

Ricoh HZ15 Review
Popular Cameras

Very dissapointing, this certainly is no CX replacement. Gone are the CX' excellent LCD screen and the often praised Ricoh menu. Only the plastic body of this camera shines.
I suspect it's more of a reworked and rebadged Pentax than a Ricoh development, and I don't get that. Nothing wrong with entry level Pentax compacts, but next to Ricoh's GR and GXR high end compacts, this makes no sense to me.
Please Ricoh, make your loyal fans happy with a high end zoom compact. This one only dissapoints. I cannot imagine it selling well since very few shops carry Ricoh and the public does not regognise the brand. When choosing a travel zoom camera range they will go for Canon, Panasonic, Sony or Ricoh's own Pentax compacts.

A relative of The Tyrannosaurus Rex was unearthed in Utah and this dinosaur which is being referred to as the "king of Gore" is the "Great Uncle" of the T-Rex. The bones found appear to be over 10 million years old, and this dinosaur is 24 foot long with large teeth making this species a serious predator of its time, despite being smaller than the T-Rex.
Mark Loewen from the University of Utah revealed the significance of the discovery:
"This animal, which we have named Llythronax Argestes, the name actually means gore king from the South West. This animal is 80 million years old, and at 80 million years old, it is the oldest Tyrannosaur of the derived group of Tyrannosaurs that lived here in North America, that includes T. Rex."
This dinosaur is believed to have been one of the biggest predators when it roamed the planet hence the 'King of Gore' being over 80 million years old. The characteristic it shares with the T-Rex is seen through its tiny arms, thick skull and forward facing eyes.
These bones that have been unveiled at the Natural History Museum in Utah were set between layers of volcanic ash. The team of scientists then assembled the bones, and now will continue to study them so they may find out more about this predator.

Since today is my husband's 50th birthday, I wanted to introduce him to you and celebrate him on my blog.
I met Bret on a church ski trip when I was 24. We'll celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary next month, so that tells me we've been together half my life. I love that thought! I love my husband with my whole heart. I probably don't say it nearly enough, but he is truly the man of my dreams. God blessed me beyond my wildest imagination when he brought us together!
Please indulge me while I jot down a few things I appreciate about him. He's been faithful to me–in all ways–through the years. These days that's not a given, and I don't take it for granted. I believe God rewards us for that kind of faithfulness, and I see that in my husband's life.
Bret is a great father. He's done an incredible job of relating to our kids at whatever age they are. He offers them just the right encouragement when they need it, yet he disciplines them when that's appropriate. I'm grateful to have such an amazing great partner in parenting!
Our kids go to him with their issues and concerns because they trust him. We've talked many times about how rare that is. They know he's always available to them—to listen, to support, to guide them in their way. No matter what stage they've been in—preschool, grade school, teenagers, even adulthood—he's studied them, learned about them, adapted to their needs, encouraged and inspired them. They love their dad dearly. They trust him. They're drawn to him, his values, wisdom and advice. Through the years, Bret has earned their trust and put forth the time and energy to secure a relationship with them.
Finally, I'm grateful to my husband for supporting me in a million ways. With my efforts to write books and speak. With my efforts to stay in shape. With my many crazy ideas and work hours. With my obsessive habits. That shows a deep, deep love and commitment. I'm so grateful that he loves me. Even in my neediness. Even in my confusion about what direction to take with writing/speaking. In spite of all my fears and insecurities.
Bret is my best friend and closest confidante. I trust him with all my heart. He makes me want to be the supportive wife he needs. In response to his nurturing, encouragement and faithfulness, I want to love him, pray for him and support him in return. I'm better because of my relationship with him. I'd rather spend time with him than anyone else. Yes, I am blessed.
So, please join me in saying Happy 50th Birthday to my husband!

One Great Love.
Yesterday, I spent the day in bed with a man I love very much.
I was caring for him after his hand surgery to repair a broken thumb. I've told him over and over for the last fifteen years that one day his aggressive basketball pick up games would end in disaster. He didn't listen to me. He didn't care, he was in love.
Every Wednesday night he meets his passion on a shiny wood floor. And every Wednesday night, he walks off the court, bruised, scraped and sprained. The injuries are insignificant to him, because he knows the freedom in that moment—when he catches the ball, sprints down the court, levitates and launches the ball into the home of the net, his feet meet floor and his whole being is coated in peace. He's rewarded for the hard work, effort and faith he dedicates to the game. He knows the falls, pains and breaks are a part of the practice, of playing and exposing himself to the elements of the game. He learns something from every game, how to be a better player.
This hopeful, passionate determined man is my ex-husband. He's part of my work, practice and preparation on the court of life. He prepared me for the dunk of my basketball into the hoop of great love.
Yesterday he recovered in his bed—me on my computer and he, induced in a percocet dream land, serenaded by the basketball game on television. We laughed, we cried, we hugged, we talked, we reminisced about our beautiful life, still friends, still loving each other, sharing in the joys of our two precious little girls.
Glazed in the eyes but clear in the heart, he looked at me and said,"If we had remained in our marriage, you would have died. I would have died. We were finished preparing each other. It was time for us to move forward and accept the love we have and the life we created. The thing is, I will love you forever."
With tears trickling down my cheeks, I could only whisper, "I know, you were my preparation. You helped me answer my questions so I could learn who I am and now I know my truth."
There are two types of romantic relationships—the ones that prepare you for your one great love, and the other is your one great love. How do you know which is which?
The ones who prepare you, make you question everything, especially yourself.
The great one does not question you and you don't either.
How do I know?
I've met someone who doesn't question himself, me or us. Why? Because the work has been done. We're both prepared. We're settled. We did our falling, bruising and breaking. We have both missed shot after shot but this time, the ball swished through the net, our feet have landed, and we're both grounded and complete in who we are and what we want of life.
Every relationship leading up to the unquestionable one is our work. It's our self work, analysis and discovery. Every person stands before us as our mirror. With each relationship comes more understanding, depth, authenticity and honesty.
Each time we have issues in our relationships whether in the beginning or when they end (after we have missed the shot), we're challenged to look inward and ask:
Where should I have positioned myself when I took the shot?
What do I need to work on to have better aim, a stronger arm and sharper focus?
Once the questions are answered we move to the next question, the next relationship. The purpose in the journey of romance and love is not to find another who will complete us or fill us to full, it's to discover our selves. The missed shot is never about the ball or the hoop, it is about the player throwing the ball. The more practiced, educated, matured, skilled the player is, the greater the shot, the greater the love.
We fall in love with the ones who prepare us, in hopes we'll learn to love ourselves in the process. Through the practice of connection, we help each other become the purest form of ourselves. We need others to stand before us, next to us, crash into us, and fall to the ground with us to help us answer our questions: Who am I? What's my purpose? What do I need to uncover to see myself clearly?
Each relationship bounces us closer to our truth, to our net at the end of the court.
Every relationship will remain in our way, until the question mark begins to float from our hearts to our actions and there's nothing left to do but answer it. With the answer comes the end.
When relationships end, we tend to beat ourselves up with guilt and doubt. Why didn't it work? What could I have done differently? Nothing. You did exactly what you were supposed to. Instead, ask the questions:
What have I learned about myself?
How have I grown from this experience?
What will remain with me and what will I let go of?
There's always work to do, it's never done. We're always growing, transforming, shedding our fears and weaknesses. Yet if we devote our hearts to discovering what we're here to do and we find the answer, we can rest within ourselves knowing we're our own companion, our own best friend, our own true love.
Once we marry ourselves and another being marries themselves, then the one great love will be revealed. We will stand side by side, not attached or dependent on the other, no jealousy, no doubt, no guilt, no judgment—just being. There's no question because the questions that matter have been answered.
Relationships come in all forms, from one night trysts to a decade (or five decades) of marriage.
I see marriages very differently than I did before the end of my own. I used to believe, once a person declared his or her love in front of great aunts, uncles and champagne colored chair covers, it was done—the person standing before them is their one great love. Maybe this is true for an extraordinary few who have done their work, but for most, no.
This person is another lesson, another run down the court. Most marriages are a public declaration of a commitment to answering a question above all others. Marriage is founded on hope, hope that all the questions will be answered and each person will be able to maintain their connection to one another throughout an entire lifetime. Out of comfort, most ignore the questions completely. They will not learn the lesson and either end their relationship in hate, asking the same questions again in another relationship, or they'll live together for fear of what exists outside their words of wonder. There are some who have honored the hard work of self study and have made a commitment to understand, acknowledge and love themselves so deeply they dwell within themselves, nested in the home of their spirit.
Is it tragic that I don't sit at weddings and join in the oohs and ahs of the white knuckled hope of the bride and groom? Maybe, but if there's something I was born to intrinsically comprehend, it's human nature. I understand how unfinished, incomplete and tortured we are.
Our minds are cushioned with the protective aura of hope so we'll continue to question, to fall in love and try tossing the ball into the hoop—because hope nudges us forward to keep practicing and learning from our ball game. Through the practice we refine, we discern, we hone in on the truth and then we exist in it. We exist in ourselves.
When a relationship fractures or dies, we do the same thing—we break, we think our hearts breaks.
The heart can not break, it is unbreakable. Heartbreak is the awakening of the heart and the rising of the spirit. We begin to feel viscerally, we think we will implode, yet what is happening is the explosion of love.
Keith, my ex-husband may have broken his finger, but it did not break his heart. His passion and love for basketball will never fade. It is his. The break of his thumb only strengthened the love he has for his beloved game and his devotion to becoming the best player he can be. Is he sad? Does he yearn for the squeak of his shoes on the polished floor and the feel of the textured hide under his fingertips? Absolutely, but he relishes in the exhilaration of running down the court even if he misses the shot. He has hope he will step onto the court again, play the greatest game of his life and freedom will slam dunk.
One day, if we've been devoted to our self work and endure the bruises, breaks, doubts and guilt, we find ourselves wide open.
The ball is thrown directly into our hands, there's no defense, we dribble straight to the end of the court, leap in the air, let go of the ball and we know—without question this time—there will be nothing but net.
As the leather caresses the ropes of the hoop, we touch the ground with our feet and right next to us is another who has just landed too. The only thing left to do is reach out, hold hands and begin to walk forward together, scars and all.
We recognize the love that has always been in our hearts, in our blood, in our eyes, in our hands, in our footsteps, in our breath. There's no falling in love because the falling already happened, this time we land with grace and see the love that has been dwelling in our great one all along, they're as wide open as we are and ready to receive us.

With gratitude,
Thank You Cal!! That is so kind:) I love to hear my heart resonates with others~Rebecca
Thank you for your devotion to excellence in writing. While reading your post I related to the points made in this content. This really is excellent.
Thank you so very much!
amazing x
Thank you
Posted on Elephant Facebook Main page…awesome job!
Thank you so much!!
Eloquently expressed, Rebecca. Makes so much sense to me, as I'm still uncovering truths from my marriage experience and finding ways to land in + express a similar sentiment and gratitude to my ex. xo
[…] I am the one if you are looking for love […]
[…] Only you know if your current marriage is your preparation—the revealer of your trueness, your wholeness. Now that you may recognize your wholeness, you have attracted another who acknowledges her wholeness too. This is very well a possibility. However, is it possible this person stands in front of you to initiate your self-reflection and reunify you and your wife? […]
[…] […]
Thank you for this Christmas gift. This was balm to my sad and battered heart and was exactly what I needed to hear today. I am still newly divorced and trying to make sense of the why. This made perfect sense and helped so much. Namaste.
Beautiful. Exactly what needed to hear and restored my faith in what I truly believe. Thank you
I LOVE this article. So beautiful and honest. Thank you and merry Christmas!
Thank you. I love this! Exactly what I needed today as I have seen my most recent "lesson" in town, twice this weekend and slipping back into victim dialogue….this helped so much! Thank you for writing this!
Rebecca- thank you for your lovely words. I'm currently going through a divorce with a man I still love very much. We are both hearbroken, despite both knowing it is the right choice for us. Your article sums up beautifully what our relationhip was all about- healing and growth. We're trying to remain friends and it's so easy to get caught up in the pain during this transition and forget the beauty that we brought to each other. This is a great reminder.
OH.MY.WORD!!!!!!! This has got to be the best thing I've ever read in EVER. thank you!!!!
Thank you Adam

Rob Samouce: How to avoid paying to charge up your condo neighbors' new electric car
"Meet George Jetson. His boy Elroy. Daughter Judy. Jane, his wife." Some of us can remember the lyrics to the intro song in the Jetsons cartoon that played when George sped by in his flying car dropping off the kids and wife, and then parking the car at his condominium home in the sky. The flying car sounded more like it ran on some form of electricity rather than a form of fossil fuels.
Well it looks like electric cars are starting to arrive (not flying yet) and soon some will probably be parked next to your old style gas-powered vehicle. You pay for the gas for your car. But what if your condominium neighbor simply plugs his electric car into a common element electric outlet? You and all the rest of your neighbors will be sharing the cost of "filling up" your neighbor's new electric car. Not a very fair or equitable result.
For most condominiums, electricity provided to the common element areas of the building(s) is a common expense. And for some older communities, wherein the units do not have individual electric meters, even the electricity provided to the individual condominium units is a common expense shared by all owners.
Section 718.115, Florida Statutes provides that "Common expenses include the expenses of the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, or protection of the common elements and association property, costs of carrying out the powers and duties of the association, and any other expense, whether or not included in the foregoing, designated as common expense by this chapter, the declaration, the documents creating the association, or the bylaws."
Unless you do something with the rules and regulations that are contained in your condominium association's governing documents, such inequities as filling up your neighbors' electric cars will likely result.
The best way in preventing this bad outcome, before it occurs, is to adopt an amendment to your declaration of condominium (will require a membership vote) that prohibits the charging of electric vehicles on condominium property unless prior written approval of the board is obtained.
As a condition of board approval, the electric car owner must agree to purchase and install a separate electric meter for charging the vehicle, and agree to pay for all electric costs associated with charging the vehicle.
This is an example of where you must take action to keep your condominium governing documents up-to-date with new technology to prevent an undesired result that can happen if you sit back and do nothing.
