Documentary on a certain controversial word makes me wonder...
Anna Morrissey Wyse
What makes a good documentary?
If it stirs you, makes you cry, pisses you off, makes you think – it is doing its job.
And if there's one thing that stirs Newfoundlanders and Labradorians' more than anything, it's our culture and history.
Now there's a word that conjures up all kinds of thoughts and opinions. From listening to recent debates on CBC-Radio, it seems that there are two camps – the Baby Boomers and the War Time generation, who come from the 'Goofy Newfie' jokes era, who feel great resentment towards the word.
Generations X and Y seem to be more accepting – viewing the word as a chance to take back the power. The word is only hurtful if you let it be hurtful.
Fledgling filmmaker Anna Morrissey Wyse is working on a documentary exploring the varying opinions on the word.
"This is a unique time in our history as Newfoundlanders," she typed via Gmail chat one day last week. "We are a 'have' province. I think this is an excellent opportunity for us to explore who we are as a people – and how we would like to present ourselves to the rest of Canada and the world. 'Newfie' is such an interesting word because it defines us, yet some of us hate it, some of us love it. I wanted to become part of the dialogue of 'who we are' in a way that engaged as many Newfoundlanders as possible."
That notion or who we are seems to be something Newfoundlanders are equal parts sure/unsure. There's little doubt that we have a strong idea of our history, culture, and from where and whence we came. People from across the country and the world seem to be in awe of this. They seem to be jealous that we come from a place that has such a strong sense of identity.
Yet with the collapse of the fishery, much of our identity was lost along with the cod, in some ways. We were no longer a fishing town, yet we clung to the same morals – strength, determination, perseverance. But what was our purpose now that the fish was gone?
As this province acquires wealth, it seems as if we are torn between our commitment to our past as a rural fishing colony, and our possible future as an oil town. We want to move into a prosperous future without forgetting about the traditions and trades of rural Newfoundland that made us who we are.
We just don't know how to act like rich kids.
There's an opinion poll on the film's website – www.newfiemovie.com. I encourage you to weigh in, and view the trailers.
"The opinion poll on the website is very telling of what people think of the word," Anna said. "I think the older interviewees have had negative experiences with the word, whereas I haven't found a young person (beside myself) who has experienced it being used in a negative way. The younger interviewees are more nuanced about their feelings. They don't want to erase the past, but they see value in reclaiming the word. I have yet to find someone who only sees positive in the word – but I'm still looking for him or her!"
Hmmm, let's see…what could be the positives in re-claiming the word?
To me, it's akin to a self-deprecating sense of humour. I've read a good few comedian memoirs, and a lot of them diss themselves before anyone else gets the chance.
Of course, that tactic could always work the other way, and make others think it's fine to pin Newfies as dummies. And we don't want that either.
Perhaps it's a question of changing the meaning of the word?
Newfie [Noo-fee]: Function: adjective. 1) A unique, forward-thinking population with absolutely no sense of self-doubt. Newfies have the highest level of self-confidence in the world.
Could that be the real reason we are so offended by the word? Is it really because deep down we're still not past all those years of being called stupid, poor, money-suckers, drunks, fill-in-the-blanks? At heart, are we an adult who was bullied in school and still carries the scars?
"I think there are a number of factors that lead people to develop an emotion," Anna said. "Age is most definitely one of them and certainly experiences can shape how you feel. At the end of the day, the word is just a word, but it is a vehicle, or window, into how we are viewed by the rest of the world. And that can be amazing, but it can also be painful."
So instead of carrying the painful memories of the word, should we tackle them head on?
"I think that's an excellent way to summarize what I'm trying to do," she added. "I'd like to get everything on the table, and then hopefully – together – we can sort it out and make sense of it all. I certainly do not want my film to become an opinion piece, but I would love to challenge everyone's views and get everyone some extra tools to sort out how the heck they feel about the word, and about how they feel about the stereotypes of Newfoundlanders."
So, would you say it's as much about how we deal with painful words that have a stigma, as it is about Newfoundland culture?
"I suppose that at the end of the day, I'm trying to do both. I'm using the study of the word Newfie to extract some of the pride or pain we feel about stereotypes of Newfoundlanders."
To say that the line between pride and pain concerning Newfoundland history and culture is thin might be the understatement of the century.
And so it goes. This debate, this obsession with our culture, which has gone on for centuries, blasts forward into the 21st century. We still get as riled up as ever, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders, but for the love of Jesus, don't call us Goofy Newfies.
This documentary isn't yet completed, but it has already made me think. I can't wait to see it in its entirety.

Wiki > Main > IriverH10Info (compare)
Difference: IriverH10Info (r17 vs. r16)
iriver H10 Information
iriver makes five different models of the H10:
All have a similar overall appearance. All have a 160x128x16bit LCD.
The H10 20GB uses a 160x128x16bit LCD. The H10 5GB/6GB uses a 128x128x16bit LCD.
The difference between MTP and UMS models is in the firmware. It affects how the H10 is used with a computer. UMS models simply appear as a drive when they are connected to a computer. MTP models use Microsoft's Media Transfer Protocol and are designed to work with Windows Media Player 10. MTP models can be started up in UMS mode by resetting the system and holding the 'O' button while turning it on.
All 5GB and 6GB models look identical. The H10 pure is the same as the 5GB UMS but without the built in radio. The battery is removable on these models. The LCD is in portrait orientation.
The 20GB is only available in a MTP version. It's hardware is almost identical to the other models, except for the larger hard disk and the screen is in landscape orientation.
The H10 Jr. is a completely different 1GB flash based system.
All models except the H10 Jr. look very similar to the iPod Mini, with a color LCD and radio. The LCD is the same as in the iAudio X5 and the radio is the same as in the iriver h300 series.

Senior wide receiver Javarus Dudley caught eight passes for 91 yards and three touchdowns and returned a punt 72 yards for a score, while senior running back Kirwin Watson rushed 30 times for 131 yards and two touchdowns to lead the 19th-ranked Rams to a 49-28 Patriot League win over Holy Cross on Jack Coffey Field. The win is the fifth in a row for the Rams, who won the Iron Major Trophy from the Crusaders for the third straight year.
Dudley set two Fordham single-season records during the game as his eight catches and 91 yards brought his season totals to 84 receptions and 1,121 yards. The 84 catches broke the Fordham single season record of 77 set by Gerry McDermott in 1999 and tied by Dudley last year, while the 1,121 receiving yards broke the Fordham record of 1,060 set by Dudley last year. Dudley is now just four catches shy of tying the Patriot League single-season reception record of 88, set by Lehigh's Dave Cecchini in 1993, and he is 201 yards short of the single-season Patriot League record of 1,322 receiving yards, set in 1999 by Towson's Jamal White.
The two rushing touchdowns for Watson brought his season total to 20, breaking the Fordham single-season record of 18, which he also set last year. He is three touchdowns shy of the Patriot League mark of 23 set by Lehigh's Ronald Jean in 1999.
Senior Lindsey Lofstedt had 18 kills and 16 digs, while senior Mele Misi added 15 kills and 17 digs to lead the Fordham Rams to a 3-1 win over La Salle University at the Tom Gola Arena on Nov. 8. Fordham won the match by final scores of 30-22, 30-28, 26-30 and 31-29.
The Rams hit .221 as a team with 68 kills, as the team had four players register double-doubles on the night.
Sophomore April MacArthur pitched in with 13 kills and 11 digs in the match, while junior Lindsay Schedeler dished out 47 assists and 10 digs.
Junior Riad Mehovic scored on a breakaway off a pass from freshman Janko Stukic to give the Rams the 1-0 upset win over the 20th-ranked University of Dayton Flyers on Edwards Parade, Oct. 26.
The Fordham defense, consisting of freshman Ryan Brown, senior Ryan Bonura, junior Greg Mannix, senior Patrick Haney and sophomore goalkeeper Stephen Faber, was able to hold on to that lead, with Faber making three saves on the afternoon for his second consecutive shutout.
Mehovic and freshman Patrick McNamee earned Atlantic 10 honors. Mehovic was named Co-Player of the Week, while McNamee was the Rookie of the Week. This was Mehovic's first career Atlantic 10 honor, and McNamee's second citation of the season.
Whitney Sykes scored at the 49:22 mark of the second half to give Richmond a 1-0 victory over Fordham in the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 Championship held in Richmond, Va., on Nov. 8.
The first half ended with no scoring and Richmond outshooting Fordham, 9-3. However, Fordham had the best opportunity of the half, as junior Beth Purcell rang a shot off the crossbar, with 2:28 remaining.
In the second half, Richmond got an early corner kick that was punched out by Fordham senior goalkeeper Shannon Misiaszek. Richmond's Sykes corralled the ball and found the back of the net to give Richmond the 1-0 advantage. Fordham had chances late in the half, as they had three corner kicks in the final eight minutes, one of which resulted in a shot by freshman Sarah Hopkins that hit the crossbar.
Richmond ended the game outshooting Fordham, 18-7, in the game.
With the loss, Fordham fell to 11-6-2 on the year.
John Patrick Conroy (FCO '31), a member of Fordham University's original Seven Blocks of Granite, died on Oct. 31, at his home in Portland, Maine. He was 95.
Conroy, a three-year letterman at Fordham, played from 1929 to 1931 for legendary head coach Frank Cavanaugh. At 6'1", 190 pounds, he was quick on his feet, a jarring tackler and an excellent pass rusher. Conroy was a tackle who was converted to play end on the teams that went 15-1-2 in 1929 and 1930, with 12 shutouts, prompting Fordham publicist Tim Cohane to nickname the 1929-30 line the "Seven Blocks of Granite."
The 1929 edition of the Rams went 7-0-2, with six shutouts, one of only two Fordham football teams to go undefeated. The 1929 squad defeated Boston College and New York University, but the two ties kept the team from earning its first-ever postseason bowl bid. The 1930 team went 8-1 with six shutouts, the only blemish being a 20-12 loss to St. Mary's of California. The 1931 team went 6-1-2 with only loss coming in a 14-13 decision to Bucknell at the Polo Grounds in the last game of the year, just enough to keep the Rams out of postseason play.
The 1936-37 version of the "Seven Blocks of Granite" would come to overshadow the original version, due to the presence of future NFL Hall of Famers Vince Lombardi and Alex Wojciechowicz.
Conroy also played with the Fordham basketball team in 1930-31, helping the team to a 15-4 record. He was inducted into the Fordham Athletic Hall of Fame in 1980.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Nonviolent felons who finish serving their sentences and maintain a clean record after that will regain their right to vote and other civil rights on an individual basis without having to apply, Gov. Bob McDonnell said Wednesday.
McDonnell also is eliminating a two-year waiting period for felons convicted of nonviolent crimes to have their civil rights restored. Previously, they also had to apply; cases will now be automatically considered without an application.
"It really is a personal thing," McDonnell said at a news conference at a church near downtown Richmond. "I believe in an America of second chances."
The Republican governor was joined on stage by civil rights advocates and legislators from both parties, including members of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, who have pressed for years to reform the state's strict process for restoring felons' rights.
"This is an important day," NAACP national president Benjamin Todd Jealous told a room packed with members of progressive organizations that have lobbied on the issue. "This is what the nation yearns for."
In Virginia, only the governor can restore felons' rights. McDonnell already has streamlined the process and has restored the rights of more than 4,800 felons, more than any previous administration, but the Sentencing Project says about 350,000 Virginians who have completed their sentences remained disenfranchised in 2010. Thousands of those residents could become registered voters in time for the November election as a result of McDonnell's new policy.
Violent felons will still have to wait five years and apply to regain their rights to vote, hold public office, and serve on a jury and as a notary public.
The announcement came a day after Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli released a report by an advisory committee he appointed in March to study restoration of rights. The panel concluded that the process could be improved by designating an executive branch agency to do all the legwork, working with religious and community groups to solicit and process applications for the governor's consideration. Cuccinelli said he liked the idea of outside help but preferred to keep the program in the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office.
Cuccinelli's task force said the Virginia Constitution does not allow the governor to issue an executive order restoring all felons' rights, and McDonnell's new policy stops short of that by continuing to handle each case individually.
"I wanted to use the maximum authority I had," McDonnell told reporters. "An executive order is probably beyond the scope of my authority."
He said the new process will eliminate subjectivity.
"Your civil rights in this country should not be dependent on the whims of one person," he said.

Summer TV...boring
by stevenew
posted Jun 23 2011 4:02PM
So while I was out on vacation (You didn't even notice I was gone did you). IO had a lot of time to watch some TV and besides re-runs nothing good is on. I can't stand the new Bachelorette and I'm over the "Talent" reality shows but I am interested in when Simon from American Idol gets back on TV. His new show "X Factor" marks the spot on Sept 21! Same network as Idol and Fox has revealed its fall premiere dates, and the highly anticipated talent competition "X Factor" will be taking "Idol's" Wednesday-Thursday slots. Simon Cowell's new show will debut over two nights starting on Sept. 21, from 8 to 10 p.m. on both evenings. Will it be worth the wait? And in case you're interested here is when some of the other popular shows stop reruns.
Returning programs' premiere dates:
"Cops" at 8 p.m. on Sept. 10
"Glee" at 8 p.m. on Sept. 20
"Kitchen Nightmares" at 8 p.m. on Sept. 23
"Fringe" at 9 p.m. on Sept. 23
"The Simpsons" at 8 p.m. on Sept. 25
"The Cleveland Show" at 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 25
"Family Guy" at 9 p.m. on Sept. 25
"American Dad" at 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 25
"House" at 10 p.m. on Oct. 3
"Bones" at 9 p.m. on Nov. 3
Which show are you most excited for?

Noticing that an unborn mice has suffered severe effects after being exposed to mobile phone radiation, scientists doubt that if the same findings can be translated to humans as well?
In their recent research, the scientists noticed that the unborn mice showed increased risks of behavioral and memory disorders after they were made exposed to mobile phone radiations. The mice became hyperactive adults with poor memory after ran procedure, says researchers, but the concerns here are that these findings could not be translated to even humans.
Concerns regarding the increased number of affected children from behavioral disorders prompted the researchers to run the above Yale University study.
The reports are suggesting that a big population of children is today suffering from childhood behavioral disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with doubts that the increased risks could have some links with the increased mobile phone use.
In order to clear similar doubts, scientists ran an experiment in which they exposed total 33 pregnant mice to electromagnetic radiations that are emitted from a mobile phone. The researchers continued the exposure with an uninterrupted call for 24 hours, the results of which, were later matched to their offspring's behavior and that of a control group as well, which was not a part of any such exposure.
It was noticed from the findings that the exposed mice performed very badly in a series of memory tests than the other group. Researchers concluded that the brain part that is responsible for all these behaviors in mice showed decreased efficiency levels of nerve signals in the group of mice that was exposed to the radiations.
Regarding the situation, senior author Professor Mr. Hugh Taylor said, "We have shown that behavioral problems in mice that resemble ADHD are caused by mobile phone exposure in the womb. The rise in behavioral disorders in human children may be in part due to fetal cellular telephone irradiation exposure".

Another day, another mission and another counter mission for Alex. But things take an unexpected and horrifying turn for the worst while Alex is in the field when an individual from her dark and twisted past shows up out of the blue leading our favorite Division double agent into a fight for her life. Now it's up to not only Nikita, but also Michael to get her out of this ultimate test of survival. But that plan may just go up in smoke along with Alex before all is said and done.
Review: "I know you… actress, model…" "Assassin."
Am I a fan of hard hitting, fast paced, guns blazing, fist flying action scenes? Of course I am, but that doesn't mean I'm against that good ol'e thing known as character development. And boy did we get a lot of that tonight.
I'm just gonna start with the main plot line of the episode, all the background we got for Alex tonight was not only appreciated, it was also necessary. We need to know as much as we can about Alex's upbringing because she's the real story of the series. She's the one doing all the leg work to destroy Division from the inside out. She's the one who's sacrificing the most to achieve the ultimate goal. So to finally be able to get inside her head is a great move from a writing standpoint.
As for what we actually learned, I think the most compelling part is the exchange between child Alex and her father. While at first I assumed she came from a business background it's at that moment when the bomb is dropped that this spy stuff actually runs in the family. That changes everything we know about the character. Alex, at that moment goes from a former drug addicted sex slave to a girl with a history of violence if you will. Someone who has not had a life of her own since the day she was born. A girl, who in the moment of having the option of brutally destroying the last remnants of her past or letting it lie bleeding on the floor, she chooses to destroy it with two well aimed bullets to the head.
As for Nikita and Michael, well… beyond the absolutely ludicrous ways the writers are coming up with to make them work together, it's always a welcomed change. At the end of the day, Shane West and Maggie Q make one heck of a bad ass, ass kicking team of destruction. That statement is no further proven than at the tail end of the steam room fight when Nikita runs down the hallways and steals the pistol from the guard while Michael follows that up by punching him in the face and knocking him out cold.
But I think the coolest moment of this episode came when we learn that the majority of Division, despite being absolute bad guys, still have a sense of duty for a wounded comrade. Percy could of very easily thrown Alex to the dogs, but instead he made sure she got all the care she needed… looks like the cold soul has a heart after all.
Final thoughts: An excellent episode of one of the best spy shows on television.

1) Think I just lost my 3 month blog a day streak. Even though, literally, I am scribbling this at 11:22 pm where I sit, I changed my SP setting to eastern time zone when I moved to Michigan, and as such, I'm sure it thinks it's already Tuesday in my world. Given the fact that I've spun the wheel for Tuesday, I know it does. I'm curious how the site would react if I were to reset my personal setting to the central time zone, both in terms of whether it'd grant me credit for a 3/11 blog post, and whether I might get to spin again, and do better than the measly 2 points I was awarded. As for the streak, it was bound to end at some point. At least I have good excuses, like "Lousy central time zone!", or "Stupid hotel, not setting their fitness room clock forward, making me think I had another hour after using it to shower, relax, etc. Of course, not realizing the clock was wrong also means I'm getting an hour (or some portion thereof) less sleep than I was planning on tonight.
2) The title, of course, refers to the last major mass murder of native Americans by the United States, the decimation of the remnants of a Lakota tribe in South Dakota in the dying days of 1890. I'm using it in a far far more frivolous manner, to describe how I scraped my knee by failing to push the seat of stationary bike I used tonight far enough away from the console. I also did 20 minutes on a treadmill, which, as ever, I hated. I thought I'd give it a try, on the basis that the last time I used one, it was before I started jogging, and after all, I just did a sub 10 minute mile last week, so surely I could handle the treadmill now? In short, no. I got the speed up to 5 mph, a 12 minute mile pace, or 1 minute per lap in the rec center track, a pace I consider relaxed when on the track. I couldn't hack it at that pace for any more than a minute on the treadmill. I slowed it down, and wogged a mile and change for the remainder of 20 minutes, and it just felt weird. Felt dizzy, again, after I stepped off the machine.
3) I'm happy enough with the fitness room in this hotel, a couple of elliptical, a couple of bikes, a trio of treadmills, full dumbbell set, and a stability ball and medicine ball rack, that's better than I expected. 24 hour availability means I can wander down at 9 or 10, just before getting ready for bed (although, I'm really failing at that latter task, listening to my friends' metal show streaming. I really miss the community radio station we had in Madison, and am glad it's programming is available over the internet). One quibble, the placement of the TVs in the angle room makes it difficult to watch anything unless using the treadmill. That said, Duck Dynasty did make that 20 minutes on the treadmill pass by more amusingly.
4) off to sleep with me. Hope this bandaid I put on my knee does its intended job, and keep these sheets from getting bloody!

Well, I can tell you that the wheel became available to me at 11 pm and I'm on the west coast - so I think they may have adjusted early for some of us.
And at least if the sheet gets bloody, you don't have to deal with washing it out.

Research has shown how beneficial brain break are for all ages - and classroom teachers are always looking for something fun and educational to break up the monotony of sitting at desks or tables all day. I have the perfect solution for PK-2 teachers: Magic Moves from Educational Insights! They sent me over a product to try out for myself and I know early elementary students would love to have this in their class! {Maybe even a perfect gift for a classroom teacher with the upcoming holidays!}
It is shaped like a fun magic wand, and it has 26 different twinkling light shows and 90 (yes, 90!) different commands! The commands are super fun AND learning related! "Stomp like a dinosaur" and "Float like a butterfly" are just a couple. The commands are great for motor skills, creative expression, and increasing vocabulary. Acting out the words is fabulous for your kinesthetic learners!
Take a listen below to just three of the commands to get your students out of their seats for less than 30 seconds each and get that blood pumping to increase brain power!
Dinosaur Sound Clip
Tree Sound Clip
Rabbit Sound Clip
Another fun extra with Magic Moves is that is also has some surprise commands, such as "freeze," "march," and "let's dance." With children listening carefully for those commands, there should be less talking and more concentrating on the movements and fun! All great skills to work on throughout the day at several quick intervals!
Educational Insights rocks and they are also giving away a Magic Moves to one super lucky reader here at The OCB! Yay! Check out the entry form below and good to all who enter from Educational Insights and The Organized Classroom Blog!

Miter saw multi-cut jigcomments (1) June 20th, 2011 in Project Gallery
Here is a quick jig that I used on my dads miter saw. I needed to cut some one by twos to 24 inches. Since the saw was just on saw horses and I wanted to make sure all the parts were equal. My dad had a bucket full of hardware store yardsticks and some carpet tape. I put carpet tape on one end of the yardstick and on a piece of scrap that I used for a stop taped at the other end. Once mounted so the end was at the edge of cut off slot, I cut all my parts and they all came out the same length. No more mark and cut and hope they are the same length.

It's a list. You love lists!
There's no shortage of insane religious nonsense, and documenting it all could take a lifetime, so here's a list of six relatively obscure and totally crazy beliefs, for your edutainment. Enjoy, Infidels!
6) The Buraq
What's handsome-faced, white, winged, bigger than a donkey, but smaller than a mule, and capable of flying Muhammad (PB&J) from Mecca to Jerusalem and back in a single night? No, not Ryan Seacrest; it's the Buraq! As the insane story goes, Muhammad needed a seriously fast, comfortable and, apparently, anthropomorphic Pegasus-type beast to make his otherwise impossible "Night Journey." So naturally, the angel Gabriel shows up and he's all, "Dude, just take my Buraq." At this, the Buraq starts sweating like Rush Limbaugh on coke, because it's inexplicably ashamed — unlike Limbaugh, who should have plenty of reasons. The Prophet, mounted on the Buraq, and Gabe jet off to "the farthest Mosque," which scholars interpret as the Temple Mount, and ol' Muhammy does some prayin'. When he's done, he again mounts the Buraq (perhaps the source of its shame?) and they fly up to 7th Heaven (not to be confused with the WB show of the same name) to chat with God and Moses. There, Moses is like, "You guys should pray only five times a day. You feel me, dawg?" And Muhammad was like, "Word." After that, they fly back to Mecca quicker than lightning (that's what al-Burāq means in Arabic) and just in time for the Buraq's orthodontist appointment! OK, I made up that last bit, so there'd be at least one plausible detail.
5) The Mormon Space-God Pyramid Scheme
Some fronts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' war on reason have been much discussed, like its founder Joseph Smith's magical Golden Tablets (which no one has ever seen), their practice of baptizing the dead or their belief that resurrected Jesus flew (Buraq?) to America to hang out with the Indians. (Weird that once the Puritans got here, the natives had forgotten about all that "Jesus Guy" and needed to be converted.) But less attention has been given to two of the Mormons' most insane beliefs. 1) They believe God lives in space. Yes, you read that right. Motherfucking space. The planet Kolob, first mentioned in the Book of Abraham and later made part of the official LDS doctrine, is where God eats, sleeps, plays Xbox and — one would imagine — receives his mail. 2) The goal of every good Mormon isn't to simply get into the heaven, but to gain access to the coolest heaven, known as the "Celestial Kingdom," where they themselves will become Gods. That's right. Motherfucking Gods. Meaning, they get to create their own universes, stars, planets and people. I'm not entirely certain how, but this must explain the behavior of Glenn Beck.
4) J-Dub Heaven: wicked exclusive!
"Sorry, Serena, you're not on the list."
The Jehovah's Witnesses (J-Dubs) are into some twisted shit: refusing blood transfusions at risk of death, denying evolution, ignoring holidays, bothering you at your house and making a sincere effort to, at least temporarily, warp the minds of every black celebrity in America (George Benson, Prince, Serena & Venus Williams, Sherri Shepherd, the late Michael Jackson and 90% of all known Wayans siblings just to name a few!). The most hilarious aspect of their incessant proselytizing is that according to the J-Dubs, out of everyone who's ever lived only 144,000 very "special" people will get into heaven. J-Dubs claim over 18 million members worldwide, so if my math is accurate — let's see, carry the crazy — fewer than 1% of these fools are getting into Jehovah's bad-ass nightclub in the sky. And yet, they're still trying to convert everyone they can before Armageddon, which they say is probably going to happen next Tuesday at 3 pm.
3) The Mad Eugenicist of the Nation of Islam
While we normally associate religious race-hate with Cracker-Ass-Mormons and the like, incredibly stupid and racist mythology isn't solely of pasty provenance. Enter Yakub. According to the Nation of Islam founder and savior figure Wallace Fard Muhammad, Yakub, who lived 6,600 years ago, first devised a plan to create a new race of people while playing with magnets as a child. (Kids do the darnedest things.) Carrying this odd ambition into adulthood, he devoured all the knowledge Mecca's community colleges had to offer, and then brought exactly 59,999 followers to the island of Patmos to bring his twisted childhood dream to fruition, where he ruled over them like a Black Robot Hitler on crack. Over the next 200 years, he bred his followers as one would dogs, killing the black babies until he created a race of brown people. Not satisfied, he selectively sexed and slaughtered, for another 600 years, until he finally created a race of "white devils," who would rule earth until 1914 with their general wickedness and deception. So Yakub was at least 818 years-old. That makes sense, but why, you may ask, did he want to create a race of pale oppressors? I presume it's a black thing, like Tussin.
[Nation of Islam insanity supplemental: Fard's successor Elijah Muhammad told of the "Mother Plane," an enormous UFO-like mini-planet built in Japan by the "Original scientists" -- at the low, low cost of $15 billion in gold -- to construct mountains on the earth -- you know, to balance it out or whatever.]
2) Scientology
"Do these body thetans make me look fat?"
This list just wouldn't be complete without a shout-out to L. Ron Hubbard, a terrible sci-fi writer and incorrigible conman.
1) The Sewer-Dwelling Aborted-Fetus Army of Doom!
What? You're unfamiliar with the wonderful teachings of convicted child molester Dwight York? He may be currently serving a 135 year prison sentence, but his Afrocentric, paranoid schizophrenic brand of Islam known as Nuwaubianism, somehow, lives on. Started as a Black Muslim group in the '70s, "Factology," as it's sometimes hilariously called, is a mash-up of some of the most impressively crazy, racist and mindbogglingly kooky theology to ever exist. Above and beyond their creation myth, theory of racial origins and obligatory UFO nonsense are their odd beliefs about babies. According to the literature, each person is conceived as a twin but sometimes the other twin dies; you should bury the afterbirth, so Satan can't use it to make an evil duplicate of the child (you know, because Satan has no access to shovels); and last but not least, sometimes a fetus will survive its abortion and take to living in the sewers, where they are being trained to conquer the world, naturally. Actually, from their belief that an ancient meteorite impact caused us to lose our inherent ambidexterity to the claim that all humans have seven clones, which are linked unconsciously, every bit of "Factology" is absolutely bonkers. And that's why I believe it's the one true faith.
[Dishonorable mentions: Bumba, the central African deity who puked up the universe and the Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi's belief that everyone has a "small fluorescent screen like a television" in their foreheads, which can be used for total recall. Those, and, you know, every other religious belief in existence.]

He started to ask her about her scars, both from the mastectomy and the reconstruction, and asked if I was helping to take care of her. He asked if she had other children, and when she revealed she had two daughters, he began to question her about my younger sister. She withheld.
Perhaps Grant admired my mother's ability to dodge questions about my young sister, or perhaps he assumed she would be an older, more domineering version of myself. Regardless, something about her manner inspired him to ask her out for coffee. She prudently declined, said goodbye, and immediately went to perform her own cross-examination on me.
I was too sleepy and shocked to say anything as she recapped their conversation. Eventually, she demanded to know what was going on. Since it seemed that she was about halfway to the truth on her own, I had no idea what to tell her. I also suspected Grant would call again and my mother would continue to investigate the situation until she found a satisfactory answer. It was clear that the only option was to tell her at least most of the truth.
So, I told her the expurgated version of how I had started doing sex work and I explained that Grant was my first regular client. I'm sure I also accused her of ruining everything, or something to that effect. Teenagers.

Should marijuana be legalized in Texas?
Category: Legalization | Posted on Mon, August, 26th 2013 by THCFinder
In 2012, two states, Colorado and Washington, passed laws legalizing marijuana for recreational use. For many years, pro-marijuana groups have promoted and encouraged legalizing it in every state, claiming it harms no one and it can only benefit humans. Should Texas also legalize it for recreational and medicinal use?
Medical research about marijuana's effects on the human body suggests mixed and inconclusive results. Because of its chemical compounds, some studies show marijuana's positive health benefits for relieving pain and reducing discomfort. However, other studies suggest it produces injury to health, including psychotic disorders and dull apathy in users.
As modern society slowly accepts marijuana use, some states allow doctor prescriptions for medical marijuana. Cancer patients and people with terminal illness use it to soothe pain and stimulate appetite. Rather than patients suffering and agonizing with intensive pain, marijuana use relieves and lightens it.
People who have glaucoma, a serious eye disease, benefit from smoking marijuana. It reduces the intraocular pressure on the eyeball, giving an individual comfort and relief. However, recent research suggests that users must inhale marijuana smoke every three hours for effective treatment, leading doctors to conclude that treating glaucoma with marijuana stands as a poor choice.
While other recreational drugs have questionable value for humans, marijuana has some consumer advantages and practical utility. Not only does it remain inexpensive to grow, but also businesses can make clothing, produce paper products, and extract dermal medicine oil from it. It can replace more expensive goods, substitute for traditional medicine, and provide cost-effective products.
Legalized marijuana supporters, who view the issue as simple economics, claim the government can tax the product to raise funds, bringing local and federal economic relief. This act would raise millions, perhaps billions, of dollars quickly for government spending, investing in social programs, repairing the nation's roads and bridges, helping the unemployed, disabled, homeless, and poor people. Clever government leaders can quickly transform poverty, penury, and debt to wealth, affluence and solvency.

Boulder dispensary names pot strain for CNN's Sanjay Gupta
Category: News | Posted on Mon, August, 26th 2013 by THCFinder
Move over Willie Nelson, there's a new strain in town.
Boulder's Helping Hands Herbals dispensary, 1021 Pearl St., is now carrying a variety of medical marijuana named for CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
The "Gupta Kush," is a strain of cannabis that Helping Hands named in honor of the renowned neurosurgeon and cable news personality after earlier this month he reversed his long-held beliefs on the subject and publicly supported exploring the medicinal benefits of marijuana.
Gupta wrote an editorial for Time magazine in 2009 about why he would not support medical marijuana research, but after spending the last year working on a documentary on the subject, he changed his mind.
"(Marijuana) doesn't have a high potential for abuse, and there are very legitimate medical applications," Gupta wrote in an article posted to CNN.com on Aug. 8. "In fact, sometimes marijuana is the only thing that works."
"Our take is, 'We told you,'" Helping Hands marketing director Daniel Taras said. "But for the folks that are uninitiated, having someone with (Gupta's) level of his prestige and position coming out and saying 'I support the use of medical marijuana,' really lends a lot of credibility in the mainstream consciousness."
Gupta, whose was previously considered for the post of U.S. surgeon general, joins a select group of celebrities and public figures with cannabis strains named after them, including President Barack Obama and rapper Snoop Dogg.

How Much Marijuana Does It Take For Someone To Overdose?
Category: Culture | Posted on Sun, August, 25th 2013 by THCFinder
My friend is new to the marijuana world. He had never smoked marijuana before in his life. At the age of 50, due to health problems, he decided to start consuming marijuana because pharmaceuticals weren't working and were wreaking havoc on his body.
He always asks me questions, and I'm going to try to post answers on TWB in case there are others out there. Also, I'm hoping people post their knowledge in the comments section below so that others can benefit. If you find some good info on marijuana overdose information, feel free to post it below.
The question I'm answering today is 'how much marijuana does it take for someone to overdose?' My friend is well aware that no one in recorded history has ever died from a marijuana overdose. But he wants to know if there is any amount of marijuana that someone could overdose from. According to a 1988 United States administrative law hearing:
"7. Drugs used in medicine are routinely given what is called an LD-50. The LD-50 rating indicates at what dosage fifty percent of test animals receiving a drug will die as a result of drug induced toxicity. A number of researchers have attempted to determine marijuana's LD-50 rating in test animals, without success. Simply stated, researchers have been unable to give animals enough marijuana to induce death.
8. At present it is estimated that marijuana's LD-50 is around 1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA-supplied marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response.

Article Date: 2/1/2010
This column will focus on how health information technology yields profits by increasing operational efficiency (reducing cost), increasing patient based revenue, and accessing outside revenue through incentive programs.
First, I'll admit that the technology driven practice does cost money. The average two-doctor paper chart-based practice will spend approximately $60,000 over the next three years to evolve into an electronic health records (EHR) system. That "sticker shock" keeps medical facilities, O.D.s included, from evolving. Yet consider that the average practice spends about $53,000 per provider per year on a paper system. The EHR "sticker" seems a little less shocking. And here's where the investment really pays off:
► Increasing efficiency. Initially, EHR may slow operations as you get used to a new system. However, over the first year, your practice efficiency will improve substantially. Other devices like document management, merchandise ordering portals, inventory management devices, etc., play a crucial role in improving operational efficiency. As your business improves its operational efficiency, you will need less staff and less physical resources (paper and print cartridges especially). For example, a savings of five minutes per patient, by not looking for a paper chart, translates to an hour a day of cost savings in both staff and doctor time. Additionally, each chart in your office costs $3.71 to build, maintain, and search for over a three-year life span. Most practices have $15,000 to $30,000 of poorly accessible information in their file room. Still think paper charts are cheaper?
► Increased patient-based revenues. The increased efficiency of EHR can cut five to seven minutes of time from each exam. That's one hour in a 12-patient day. Go home early, or stay the same amount of time, see two patients and generate an additional $400 to $800 a day. That's another $100,000 a year based on conservative estimates ($400/day x 250 days). Still think you can't afford it?
► Incentives. There are also the various incentives programs such as PQRI, the HITECH incentive money, and e-prescribing incentives. Though PQRI incentives have already begun, the big incentives plan starts in 2010 and 2011. Being an active user of e-prescribing will make you eligible for a bonus of up to 2% of your billed Medicare Fees. (You do not need to participate in PQRI to participate in e-prescribing.) The "EHR" section of the stimulus package, also known as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), could net your practice as much as $44,000 per provider over the next five years. However, most of this revenue ($27,000) comes within the first two years (2011 and 2012). So the "wait and see'ers" will suffer a significant drop off of revenue.
Remember that only about 4% of optometrists are currently using "meaningful EHR's" with integrated e-prescribing. Once it's mandated, those who've waited will compete with the other 96% of O.D.s for limited IT resources.
The financial case to take the plunge and integrate health information technology into your practice is straight forward: It's simply too expensive to continue to do what you have been doing. OM

text: Billy Crawford could only shake his head when asked about the issue that he and Nikki Gil allegedly broke up, something that the actress had already denied in an interview. "Sunod-sunod nga, eh; nagkabreak, nagkahiwalay, nag-live in. Ewan ko kung ano-ano ang sinasabi ng mga tao."The singer-actor stressed that their four-year relationship is solid and continues to get stronger. "I couldn't be happier, [the relationship] couldn't be stronger. We're good," he said.By the end of April, Billy is expected to fly to Europe to work on his long-overdue international album. Though he has been away before, Billy said that he still feels fear, particularly being away from Nikki. "Of course there's a fear of being away from someone you love, pero kakayanin mo, eh. 'Pag mahal mo ang isang tao you will do anything you can to make it work and you will give time for that relationship, no matter what happens." He continued that he told Nikki that she only needs to tell him that she needs him and he is willing to fly back home.The international singer said that he is still uncertain as to how long he will be away. "Everything is tentative. Hindi pa sure pero pwedeng mas maiksi sa two months, pwedeng mas mahaba sa two months; so it all depends kung ano talaga ang mangyayari."Still, he is keeping optimistic when it comes to his relationship, especially now that he can talk to Nikki on real-time through modern technology. "Ang pinakaimportante blessed kami ngayon kasi may technology. Sobrang happy kami, at least we have that."Many have commented that Billy is a "renewed" man, a far cry from his previous reputation as a ladies' man and he said that Nikki is a big part of his change. "Pero bilang isang tao I needed to grow din naman, kailangan ko ring mag-mature. Hindi naman ako papabata, patanda tayo nang patanda, we learn from our mistakes. Of course, nakatulong si Nikki sa akin pero never naman siya nag-force na, 'Uy magbago ka ang sama-sama mong tao.'"In a previous interview, Nikki said that even before she and Billy got into a relationship, the latter was already working on changing for the better. Billy stressed this by saying that he has had realized the importance of establishing a good relationship with God.Billy added that although there is no telling what the future holds for them, he and Nikki are set on the goal of marrying each other when time comes.

Family Impact Summit "Attendance Less Than Hoped"
Jim Burroway
September 30th, 2007
The American Family Association's OneNewsNow reports on the dismal turnout for last weekend's "Family Impact Summit" held in Brandon, Florida. The final tally was only about half of what they had hoped to achieve:
By Friday evening, just over 100 people had registered to hear speakers that included Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Southern Baptist leader Richard Land, former presidential candidate Gary Bauer and the American Family Association's Don Wildmon.
A workshop on grass roots activism drew a handful of people — and one was a spy, an activist for Americans United for Separation of Church and State researching the opposition.
Well, there was more than just that one "spy" there. There was also Cathy James, whose calm and measured demeanor brought low the mighty during a question and answer session. And of course, there was yours truly.
But I can vouch for the low turnout, especially during the morning and afternoon sessions. It often felt as if there were more volunteers, exhibitors and speakers milling around than actual attendees. Only during the evening hours would the audience swell to three hundred or so. On the last night of the event, the turnought might have approached four hundred to hear the much-anticipated stars of the event, Ken Blackwell and Tony Perkins. By the way, the evening events were generally free of charge to the public.
I often overheard a few speakers and volunteers grumble about the attendance during breaks and over dinner. The disappointments weren't limited to this event either. A few complained about how difficult it was to get a decent turnout at even larger, better funded and more heavily advertised events as well.
Is this a harbinger for things to come?

Most radiotherapy is delivered with linear accelerators. Our linear accelerators, or "Linacs" as they are often called, are large and can be quite intimidating at first, but they are safe and reliable. You do not actually feel the radiation given for your treatment, just like you do not feel the radiation used for a regular diagnostic x-ray.
|The Varian Clinac 21iX offers Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
For temporary implants (high dose-rate brachytherapy), we use a Nucletron microselectron HDR. This technology is most often used for the treatment of gynecologic (female reproductive system) tumors, but it is occasionally incorporated into the treatment of other cancers, as well.
Treatment planning is accomplished with a Nucletron Simulix Simulator, (a specially designed diagnostic x-ray unit) and several treatment planning system computers.
