The Wandering Lake
Patty Chang
The Wandering Lake is a video installation based on Patty Chang's journey by camper from Europe through Central Asia to China with staged performances along the way. Early 20th-century explorer Sven Hedin coined the term the "Wandering Lake" to describe Lake Lop Nur in western China when he was commissioned by the Chinese government in the 1920s to find a modern silk road that was accessible by car. Chang's work explores Lop Nur and the Aral Sea, a terminal lake that has lost 90 percent of its original surface area due to depletion by agricultural irrigation, to examine how movements in water parallel changing political and social conditions.

My little man has started to refuse the bottle and he's only getting 15-18 ounces per day (that I'm practically forcing down him.)Ā The pediatrician said to make sure he gets a minimum of 20 ounces, but that's impossible! I'm keeping him up until 11:00 most nights so I can wait as long between bottles as possible, hoping he'll be hungry enough to take them.ĀLast week he was taking 4 bottles per day averaging 25-28 ounces each day.Ā Now he screams and cries when the bottle comes near his mouth.Ā I don't think it's teethingĀb/c he has no problem with solids/spoons.Ā Has anyone else had this problem?
8 Months - He no longer likes formula/the bottle... what do I do???
Comments (8)
Not having as tough of a time hon, but my girl has reduced her intake quite a bit. We had a 19 oz day the other day.
She isn't crying or screaming, just disinterested more. That┬Ā usually does indicate teething but you say you think that's not it.
How is he with a sippy cup? Or possibly a cup of any sort. Maybe its the bottle he isn't wanting? I do get nervous too and also believe we should be getting at least those 20 oz.
Also had the idea today for me to get fast flow nipples. Maybe they are frustrated? What flow are you on now?
Is he teething? My LO decreased his intake A LOT when he was teething, but now he's back to normal.
"If evolution was true, moms would have more than 2 hands."
As a PP suggested, try a sippy cup and maybe even try his formula refrigerated .┬Ā Sometimes a change in temperature peeks their interest in it again.

Thanks! All great comments. He's not great with the sippy cup so I might try the fast┬Āflow nipples (he's on #3 Avent, they go up to 4).┬Ā I always warm┬Āthe bottles┬Ātoo and maybe trying it cold will help... it is July!
Thanks everyone!
I would also suggest letting him try drinking from a regular cup. My boys will occassionally drink from a sippy, but they love drinking from a regular cup. They can't do this on their own yet but I don't mind helping out. Tonight I made them smoothies (one of their favorite things) and they gulped them down from the regular cup but just got frustrated w/ the sippies.

My little guy was doing this a while back but we were only getting like 6 oz in for 2 days. Went to ER at Children's Hospital and he had a very raw sore throat. I would give it some time if he is still eating however get him checked if it decreases anymore.
My little guy went through the exact same thing.. and then a week later his teeth popped out. so I think its just teething.. The way I was getting the milk is by mixing it also with the cereal here and there. or even when he is drowsy ready to sleep I would get it in.. Its just a phase ..It doesnt last.. He is back to normal now.. he eats 24-28oz a day now.. dont worry.!┬Ā

University of Technology CompiegneCompičgne, France
- 13 Masters
- 4450 Students
- Public Institution Type
UTC is a public institution specialized in science and technology. It was created in 1972 as a new model in the French higher education system.
This experiment aimed at bridging the gap between :
UTCs main missions are education, research and transfer of technology. It is well integrated within the European system of higher education and it has pursued, since its creation, an ambitious international policy. Its model has been duplicated in France in the cities of Troyes ( UTT) and Belfort-Montbéliard (UTBM) and abroad in China (Shanghai) and Chile (Vina del Mar).
UTC interacts with society and industry by anticipating the research's requirements of companies and by facilitating the professional insertion of its students, thanks to its educational values based on students' autonomy and its interdisciplinary research.
UTCs identity and policy placed it in the avant garde of progress, a position it has held for 35 years. Throughout its history it has remained innovating, imaginative and a model for change, responding to environmental stakes and industrial needs.
UTC's objectives are to train students who will manage successfully the interactions between technology, man and society in a globally competitive environment while at the same time making sustainable development a priority to guarantee excellent thematic research geared towards the issues of our environment and supported by a collective commitment to interdisciplinary research
Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a Master at University of Technology Compiegne!
The campus has several locations in Compiègne providing students and researchers with an up to date environment and facilities such as research labs, conference centers, health clubs, restaurants...
Quality of life only 45 minutes from Paris: UTC is located in the city of Compiègne in France. Compiègne is approximately 45 minutes from Paris by train and 45 minutes from Charles de Gaulle International Airport by car. Compiègne is a city of 60 000 inhabitants, in a historically rich area and surrounded by a forest of 15 000 ha.
There are 60 cultural and sport clubs or associations within UTC (music, photography, theatre, football, basketball, rowing, aerobics, etc.), some of which have expanded their network to other European countries.
Most students practice a sport at UTC through one of its two organizations :
Practicing sports or a physical activity is not compulsory, but is strongly encouraged. Approximately 75% of all students practice some kind of physical activity. Students who want to do competitive sports have to plan their class schedule to be free on Thursday afternoon which is the official half-day set aside for competitions.

The bike is a mid-80s MB-2 with 130-mm O.L.D. I put a 7-speed HG cassette on the UG/HG freehub (not original) and the inner plate of the bolt-on axle stop rubbed against the surface of the lock ring. I removed the axle stop and, using the scuff marks on the dropout and my eyes, was able to align the wheel with very little difficulty. In the highest gear, I have a couple of millimeters of space between the chain and the bottom of the seat stay. Shifting and everything (i.e., no rubbing) are fine with the bike in the stand. I haven't been able to test ride because I'm nursing a knee injury.
According to what I've read here, wheel alignment may take a little more time, but there should be no safety issues with the axle stop removed. The XT QR (it's an XT hub) is quite snug but not overly tight. Do I have this right?
Posted here because it's old stuff.

This morning, New Approach Washington , the campaign behind marijuana legalization Initiative 502, begins a $1 million TV advertising blitz. The 30-second spot features a
This morning, New Approach Washington, the campaign behind marijuana legalization Initiative 502, begins a $1 million TV advertising blitz. The 30-second spot features a local actress who is also a mother of four. The campaign is deliberately trying to reach women, says manager Alison Holcomb. And there's a reason why.
"Women tend to support reform less strongly than men do," Holcomb says. She points to a statewide SurveyUSA poll (scroll down to no. 15) that came out in July. Overall, the poll showed a majority supporting I- 502. But only 49 percent of women said the initiative should be enacted, whereas 62 percent of men gave their blessing.
Why the divide? "That's a great question," Holcomb says. She speculates that women don't respond to either side of what has become a polarized debate-- with "hardliner, Reefer Madness [anti-marijuana] warriors" on one side and on the other pot-lovers who like to haul out all the ostensible benefits of imbibing.
So New Approach decided not only to put a female face on its TV presence, but to use what Holcomb calls a "softer" approach. The message, she says: "You don't have to think marijuana is good, but you can acknowledge that treating it as a crime is not helping the matter."
So the ad starts off with Kate Pippinger, identified as a "Washington mom," saying she doesn't like marijuana "personally" but feels it's time for a "conversation" about legalization. She mentions neither aging cancer survivors using cannabis for their pain, nor fun-loving stoners. Instead, she talks about freeing up police officers, putting a dent in gang culture and reaping the benefits from taxation.
What New Approach is hoping for it a Pauline Sabin-like moment. Sabin was an heiress who initially supported prohibition and then turned against it, founding an influential reform movement that railed against prohibition's hypocrisy and its inadvertent promotion of the bootlegging industry. Scores of matrons across the country signed on.
The matron brigade lent normalcy and respectability to the anti-prohibition movement, qualities that the marijuana legalization effort also sorely needs.
See the New Approach TV spot on the next page.

I used to love any form of Isabelle - Isabella, Izabella, Izabelle. I also adored Emmeline for a long time, as well as some cringe-worthy trendy names like Irelynn. I've always loved Violet, and it's been in my top three for years. Now my favourites are Susannah, Rose (Rosie), and Desmond for a boy.

Cumulative Dietary Energy Intake Determines the Onset of Puberty in Female Rats
Odum, Jenny, Tinwell, Helen, Tobin, Graham, Ashby, John, Environmental Health Perspectives
Laboratory animal diets for studies to determine the endocrine-disrupting potential of chemicals are under scrutiny because they can affect both assay control values and assay sensitivity. Although phytoestrogen content is important, we have previously shown that a phytoestrogen-rich diet and a phytoestrogen-free diet were equally uterotrophic to rats and advanced vaginal opening (VO) when compared with the standard diet RM1. Abolition of the effects by the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist Antarelix indicated that these effects were mediated through the hypothalamus--pituitary-reproductive organ axis. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between cumulative energy intake and sexual maturation in female rats. Infant formula (IF) at different concentrations and synthetic diets, with a wide range of metabolizable energy (ME) values, were used to modulate energy intake. Increasing energy intake was associated with an increase in uterine weight (absolute and adjusted for body weight) for both IF and the synthetic diets. In both cases, the increased uterine weight was directly proportional to energy intake. Body weight was unaffected by IF consumption but, in the case of the diets, was increased proportionally with energy consumption. Antarelix abolished the uterine weight increases with both formula and the diets, whereas body weight was unaffected. The mean day of VO was also advanced by high-ME diets and IF, whereas body weight at VO was unaffected. VO occurred at an energy intake of approximately 2,300 kJ/rat determined by measuring total food intake from weaning to VO, indicating that this cumulative energy intake was the trigger for puberty. ME is therefore a critical factor in the choice of diets for endocrine disruption studies. Key words: energy intake, metabolizable energy, phytoestrogens, puberty, soy, uterotrophic assay. Environ Health Perspect 112:1472-1480 (2004). doi:10.1289/ehp.7039 available via http://dx.doi.org/[Online 21 July 20041
The choice of laboratory animal diet for rodent studies to determine the endocrine-disrupting potential of chemicals is currently under intense scrutiny (Lawton 2003; Odum et al. 2001; Owens et al. 2003; Owens and Koeter 2003; Thigpen et al. 2003). This is because the diet selected can affect both assay control values and assay sensitivity; for example, uterine weight in control animals needs to be low to maximize the dynamic range of the uterotrophic assay. One contributing factor is the phytoestrogen content of the diet. Most of the commonly used laboratory animal diets are formulated with soy extracts, which contain the isoflavones genistein (GEN) and daidzein, and/or alfalfa (lucerne), which contains coumestrol (Patisaul and Whitten 1999). These phytoestrogens are estrogenic to rodents, causing effects such as increased uterine weight and advanced vaginal opening (VO) in immature animals, similar to effects observed with xenobiotic estrogens (Bickoff et al. 1962; Boettger-Tong et al. 1998; Casanova et al. 1999; Medlock et al. 1995; Thigpen et al, 1999; Tinwell et al. 2000; Whitten et al. 1992).
An analysis conducted as part of the recent Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) evaluation of the immature rat uterotrophic assay indicated that isoflavone levels greater than 325-350 mg GEN equivalents/kg diet should be avoided to maintain optimal assay sensitivity and dynamic range (Owens et al. 2003). The phytoestrogen content of diets is not, however, the only factor of importance. This is shown by our earlier demonstration that the phytoestrogen-rich diet Purina 5001 (Purina Mills, Inc., Richmond, IN, USA) and the phytoestrogen-free diet AIN-76A are equally uterotrophic to rodents, compared with the standard diet RM1, and that each is able to advance the mean day of VO in rats, again compared with RM1 (Odum et al. 2001). Further, we showed that coadministration of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist Antarelix (ANT; Europeptides, Argenteuil, France) abolished the uterotrophic activity of both diets, indicating that these effects were mediated at the level of the hypothalamus to influence GnRH secretion (Odum et al. …

Nothing Can Stand In My Way Except ME!!

Tuesday, March 08, 2011
Okay. My body and I have had a long talk.
We need to keep our motivation and positive attitudes.
Yesterday I went to the Doc to get the test results from the MRI/MRA on my head.
Some of you already know that I have been having terrible pains in my head. Not headaches; localized PAIN. Also blurry vision at times. Hence, the tests.
This has been going on with me for a number of years, but now it is much more severe and frequent.
The good news is that I have no tumors or aneurysm. That's good.
The bad news is that they are suspecting a nerve disease going on. Not much can be done about that except to have injections to hopefully take away the pain. It is called Occipital Neuritis.
There is a concern that PERHAPS that the disease has gone into the main optical nerve. That means I could possibly lose my vision.
More tests were done yesterday, and I will be going back in a couple of weeks to find out the results.
IN THE MEANTIME, I will continue living my life to the fullest.
I have absolutely no intention of laying around and feeling sorry for myself. Rather, my plan is to just keep on doing what I have been doing.
I will walk with my dog, explore trails I have yet to traverse, and do my art work.
I will continue to eat healthfully, exercise, and laugh out loude at least once a day.
I will attend Quilt Club, and make quilts (which I love doing!) for the kids battling cancer. I will even make quilts for myself, family and friends.
I will continue to look for different birds along the trails, and pay heed to their birdsong. That is always so very joyful.
I truly believe attitude is everything. If I keep joy in my heart, my mind will follow.
If I keep laughter as a part of my life, the little things won't be so annoying.
I'm the type of person that takes illnesses with a grain of salt, but let me break a shoe lace, and I'm all wrinkled up.
Have you ever noticed that big things are taken with calmness and acceptance, but when we burn the toast it is a big deal, and can ruin our entire day??
I love the saying "Don't sweat the small stuff. And it is ALL small stuff!
Now I must get off the computer and participate in my day.
Have a great one,!

Your good news IS good news!! Maybe, regarding your bad news, the diagnosis or prognosis will change. Or perhaps, they will come up with more or different treatments. Either way, you are taking the high road with the right attitude; that can make all the difference!!! You are in my thoughts & prayers!!! Keep taking the walks & making the quilts!! Good for you!!

So sorry for what the docs have found. I know you will research and get additional tests and opinions before setting your course.
Chin up and smile on.

My friend, I am glad that there are no tumors or aneurysm--that is good news. I am praying, however, that this has not gone into the main optical nerve and that the injections or other treatment they come up with will take care of the pain. Keep me posted on the results of the additional tests, please. Attitude IS everything, and you have an awesome one. Love you, my FBC!

wow, you have some REAL strength! I dont know what it is but I have seen people battle some very serious conditions and take it with poise and grace i have yet to understand and then the rest of us like you said burn the toast and pow, it sets our day off to a bad start.
its all about the perspective.
you are a saint.

Ferrari is the car to beat, admits defending F1 champion Button
22 February 2010
Defending F1 World Champion Jenson Button has suggested that Ferrari is the team to beat heading into the 2010 campaign at Sakhir in Bahrain in just under three weeks' time – as he praised the F10's consistency over long runs whilst assuring that for its own part, McLaren-Mercedes is 'getting there'.
Double F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso has rated the
new baby as 'the best car I've ever had' [see separate story –
click here
], and though the Prancing Horse gave best to McLaren, Renault, Sauber, Force India and Mercedes Grand Prix on the final day of testing at Jerez de la Frontera in southern Spain on Saturday, still Button reckons the scarlet machine has stolen an early march on its rivals.
"I think the Ferrari is very strong," the McLaren star told reporters. "If you look at their runs, they're very consistent and I think they have better consistency than anyone else at the moment. The Ferrari looks good on the circuit."
Button himself wound up on top for the first time in 2010 two days ago, but well aware that pre-season testing times can be significantly misleading, the 30-year-old Frome-born ace is under no illusions that the Woking-based outfit has the fastest car out there – not yet, at least.
"It's always interesting to observe what [other teams] are up to," the seven-time grand prix-winner went on. "I followed a few drivers [during the test] – Fernando, Michael [Schumacher, Mercedes]. It's always interesting to see what's happening; the Mercedes seems like it's a little bit twitchy at the rear and locking the rears under braking, but if they're on 150 kilos [of fuel] that's understandable.
"I think our pace is good, but there are still areas we need to work on for me to be happy with the car. Over one lap, our car is getting there; we're improving step-by-step and on the long runs we're improving with every one we do. There's so much information we've got from [the test] – more than any other test so far, for me anyway – and we're going to go through all of that."
Pre-season F1 2010 testing will conclude with a four-day outing around Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya later this week.

Last Chapter:
"18, why?" Touko asked.
"Hn? Then my Eevee is two years older than your Eevee also." N stated.
"Two years older also?" Touko asked.
"Yeah, I am 20 after all." N said, and Touko gave a smile showing she understood.
"What about Absol?" N asked.
"Absol, he was a pain to get. I had to chase him, and I was 13 at the time." Touko stated, relaying the memory.
-Flashback- Touko smiled as she stalked a Pokemon into the nearby forest. She was going on her first Pokemon Hunt, and at the moment she was following a Sawsbuck to catch as her Pokemon. Suddenly a blur of white caught her attention as she looked toward it. She saw a Pokemon that made her gulp. Absol, the disaster Pokemon. Absol began to sniff around, and then Touko thought.
"Maybe, I should get Absol instead of Sawsbuck. They say Absol is a very strong Pokemon." Touko said to herself, and turned her attention to Absol instead of Sawsbuck, and stalked toward him a little bit.
Absol seemed to have noticed because he looked up, and backed away a little bit. Touko froze, before she sighed and jumped into the clearing making the Absol fall on his back. He wasn't expecting a human to appear.
"Hm? I believe I made a good choice to see you instead of the Sawsbuck." Touko said and gave a smile.
"So you where the one watching me." Absol said with a growl.
"I figured you could talk." Touko said with a smile as she crossed her arms.
She was wearing her ranger's outfit. She had bow strapped to her back with a quiver, and she had daggers strapped to her waist. She bent down to the Absols' height and smiled at him.
"How do you know Pokemon can talk?" Absol asked.
Touko let her Pokemon out, and it was a Samurott, a Dragonair, a Lucario, and an Eevee. Absol gasped as he saw the Pokemon, but they made no move to harm him.
"They won't harm you." Touko said as she stood up, but she smiled at him.
"I wanna know, do you wanna be one of my Pokemon?" Touko asked, and the Absol looked at her with wide eyes.
"What?" He asked.
"Do you wanna be one of my Pokemon? I don't like to force Pokemon into being my own, so I'm asking." Touko stated, and Absol scoffed as he stood up.
"There's only one way I'll be one of your Pokemon, and it's to catch me. Your Pokemon can't participate." Absol stated.
Touko nodded as she returned her Pokemon back to their Poke-balls, before looking at Absol.
"Is there a destination?" Touko asked.
"Nope, you just gotta catch me." Absol said, and toke off, Touko right after him.
"I'll get him. I'll make sure of it." Touko said to herself as she sped her pace up.
Absol was getting far ahead of her, and she was starting to worry. She soon saw a short path that would lead straight in front of the Absol. Touko toke the path, and right when she did, Absol turned around, but couldn't see her.
"I lost her already?" Absol thought, and then sighed.
"Maybe I was going too fast? Aw man, she actually seemed like a good Trainer." Absol said before he began to run again, but then Touko jumped before him, and tapped his head.
Absol gasped and fell back again as Touko giggled.
"I caught you." Touko said, and Absol sighed as he stood up.
"Also, don't count me out of anything." Touko said with a smirk, and Absol gave his own.
"Heehee, I guess I underestimated you, but tell me something. You're no normal human are you?" Absol asked, and Touko looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?" Touko asked.
"I mean, you're not a normal person. No normal human could've caught up to me like that, and no normal person could've thought something like that up." Absol said and Touko sighed.
"I guess I'm not a normal person then." Touko said and Absol looked her confused.
"I'm treated so highly with respect, and it's all because I'm a Princess. I don't like that. I want to be treated as a normal person." Touko said with a sigh.
"Hey, it's okay to be like that." Absol said walking toward her.
"Yeah, but it makes me feel so different from everyone else. I wanna be a normal human. I wanna have the problems my people face. I wanna see what they see, what they feel. I feel like since I'm so different from them, I'm not human." Touko said as she sat down with a sigh.
Absol walked toward her, and laid his front paws on her leg, and laid his head on his paws, looking at her with his red eyes.
"Don't worry about that. You're completely human, I can tell. I know about the war that's going on between your two countries, and I can say you feel what they feel. Don't you feel anger or sadness when someone dies?" Absol asked, and Touko nodded.
"Don't you feel happy when you see your army come back through those gates, or any joy?" Absol asked, and Touko nodded.
"Aren't you worried when the army hasn't had enough training and their sent out on a mission?" Absol asked, and Touko nodded.
"See, you feel what every human feels. Even we Pokemon feel those things. I sensed curiosity when I was sniffing around, so I guess it was you. And you know what, every human feels curiosity." Absol said with a smile looking at her.
Touko smiled before petting his head, and he grinned at her.
"And you know what. Even though you won, you probably won't have to ask again. I'll be your Pokemon. You're an interesting girl, I'll give you that, and I think now is the time I see things through the eyes of a human." Absol said as he nuzzled her stomach, being careful of his blade.
Touko smiled as she gently hugged him, and he smiled in her arms, happy to finally feel safe in someone's arms, and happy to finally understand the love of a human. -Flashback end-
"He's been so understanding, and he was my first Pokemon that could talk. Well...he wasn't my first. Samurott was able to talk before I got Absol, Dragonair mainly talked through the mind, and Lucario was just beginning to learn, and my Eevee is still learning." Touko explained.
"I see, and I already know about Reshiram." N said smiling, and Touko nodded.
"Yes. Now tell me about your Pokemon." Touko asked, and N smiled.

This is starting to turn into Romeo and Juliette!!!!
Really? I haven't read Romeo and Juliette in a long time so I have no idea.
I just like love stories where their separated before they reunite.
I just like love stories where their separated before they reunite.
Yeah it really reminds me of the story because: 1.there are 2 kingdoms fighting against each other. 2. The prince and the princess are the only ones who love each other. And 3.Im sure someone in the story is going to die during the war
No one really died in my story though, unlike Romeo and Juliet's. I do need to get into the habit though of a tragic death, because in my story Dragon Rider's Last Hope, the master dies.
I didn't even realize that it was so similar though. O.O Wow.

Coalition calls for stepped up water protectionJanuary 10,2013
MONTPELIER A coalition of 32 environmental groups, businesses and other organizations are calling for improved protection of Vermonts rivers and lakes, including Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River.
Among the biggest threats seen by the groups is an overload of nutrients, including phosphorus flowing into the states rivers from both farms and yards. The groups say incidents like algae blooms in Lake Champlains Missisquoi Bay harm the states tourism economy.
Lori Fisher of the Lake Champlain Committee says the states public water supply infrastructure alone needs nearly $400 million in upgrades in the next 20 years.
Chris Kilian of the Conservation Law Foundation says the state needs to focus on tougher enforcement of its environmental laws.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A bill dealing with independent contractors was resurrected from a quiet death only ...

Matt Latterell releases Life on Land at the Cedar tomorrow
To ask Matt Latterell himself, you wouldn't expect there to be anything too remarkable about his new album, Life on Land. But then it isn't exactly in Latterell's character to go around singing his own praises.
"I didn't plan to do this," he says of the record, giving a shrug. He leans his arms on the table of a booth at the 331 Club, a green Twins cap on his head and a red hoodie zipped most of the way up. As he wryly explains it, these songs started off as a series of singles before eventually morphing into a full-fledged LP. "It was just whatever felt like the lowest hanging fruit I could write and release each month, I would put it out."
In truth, Latterell is a rare kind of storyteller. He has an acerbic and even caustic wit, and he's not afraid to turn it on social problems or divisive political issues. At a time where any obvious emotions or opinions seem to be carefully hidden away by most musicians, it's refreshing to hear someone willing to speak his mind and express his disappointment so openly.
"It felt really un-cool for me to do that for a long time," Latterell admits. Yet taking on a topical approach seems almost inescapable for him. "It's a natural impulse for me; I get frustrated and upset about things and it comes through in the songs. It seems like life is really political, especially since the last election. Like every moment of the day is very political and everyone you talk to is very politicized about every issue."
While Latterell hasn't gotten a lot of attention around town, that could change with Life on Land. He's spent the past few years playing regularly at this very bar, where he befriended Zoo Animal leader Holly Newsom. She was the impetus for Latterell's decision to start playing with a band last fall, thanks to her offer to play drums for him. Newsom's also releasing the album through her new record label, Suntanman, a connection that should no doubt help get his name out there.
The inspiration for the initial singles project came from the singer's disappointment that his previous record, Charades, took him about two-and-a-half years to finish. The goal this time around was to release a new single every month, which Latterell did for a few months until he lost his job last March. "You would think you had all this time and the output would increase, but it didn't. Having all that time became a total show stopper for me." Those singles now form the first half of Life on Land, and they show some of the focus which helped bear them, for the newer songs, while more personal, have a tendency to meander. But the highlights are certainly promising, such as with the elegiac venting of "The Kids Are All Adults" or the casual paranoid-schizophrenia-meets-information-overload of the title track (which was actually the last song recorded).
The convergence of Latterell's more critical eye and his sensitivity for his subjects is most apparent on "Wash Your Hands," the best song on the album. Inspired by the lurid scandal that outed Ted Haggard, "Hands" is told from the former evangelist's perspective, deftly capturing a man admitting his own hypocrisy while attempting to reconcile it with his carefully built--and now shattere--image. "I built myself a home and now it's gone," the narrator says remorsefully. "I built these creaking gallows I'm standing on / And I have deceived you all."
Of course, songs like "Hostage" will likely be the most attention-grabbing, filled as they are with sensationalistic images of "fetuses and blood" and references to grandmothers watching Fox News. "There's a different kind of fear that effect each generation. I think Fox News embodies that for a [particular] generation," he suggests. Having people latch onto such references is a predictable pitfall of Latterell's writing style, but he's comfortable with that, too. "I guess my sense of humor and personality, generally, is to present something humorously that I find ludicrous." He smiles and gives another shrug. "And bad."
MATT LATTERELL plays a CD-release show with Zoo Animal and Villa on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, at the CEDAR CULTURAL CENTER; 612.338.2674

This is an older membership park. The site are a little tight for large rigs. Hook-ups were ok. No WI-FI from our site. Good over the air TV. Roads gravel but maintained. Staff friendly. About three miles from interstate. Park quiet and clean. Would use again. - corky506

Fun activities for kids. It's a large park very nice. Sites were nice as well. We enjoyed staying here. There is always something to do. Staff is friendly and helpful. We liked the gift shop and look forward to visiting again. The roads were nice, which made it easy to find our campsite. Overall great park - samatha

How has the board of health, or the Yogi name not shut this place down. Stayed here 6 years ago and was hoping for improvement as it could be a nice place. Nothing changed unless it got worse. Stayed in a chalet and the pillows were moldy and mattresses were the worst ever. Nothing worked and had tape on a broken window.. Our recent stay did have sweet workers that my kids had a great time and felt like they were friends by the time we left. You can't expect sweet workers to overcome the overall trashiness of the management. It's becoming more of a trail or park than a camping vacation spot and the ones that live there expect and accept to live trashy. We wanted a yogi reminiscent vacation and felt we vacationed in a trailer park. Also the water slide don't be fooled, it cost you $15.00 extra a kid. Park also overrun with theft, beer, cigarettes and an ice chest stolen while we camped last week. I won't be back to vacation in a trailer park with dirty pools. - Harley camp

Tongue Oppressor
In a live chat, Prudie advises a woman whose boyfriend obnoxiously licks her face.
Q. Baseborn Baby Shower: My little sister is having a baby with a man who's divorcing his wife to be with her. Unbeknownst to all but a few of her close friends, she's been seeing this man for almost three years. My sister is pretty ashamed of breaking up his family, so she doesn't think she deserves a baby shower or should even discuss her baby in any positive way. I think our mom has been saying some pretty mean things to her, because my mom abhors infidelity. I'm not saying my sister and her fiancé are saints or that I approve of how their relationship began. For the record, I think my sister and her fiancé have caused innocent people (his wife, his kids) a lot of pain. At the same time, I really love my sister, and aside from this she has always been a selfless and caring person. I want to throw her a baby shower, and her friends want to pitch in and help me. We figure anyone who doesn't come because of moral objections to the terms of the baby's conception wasn't going to be a good friend to my sister anyway. My mom and some relatives are really against throwing a baby shower and think we're sugarcoating my sister's situation. Would it be rude or tasteless to throw my sister a baby shower or to celebrate her baby's birth?
A: Ah, another wonderful person except for the fact that she's not. The baby is the innocent party here and does not come baring a mark of shame. Throw the shower and try not to cast harsh judgments on the people who decline.
Q. Peeing in the Aisles: My 11-year-old daughter Meghan recently went on her first solo play date with her new friend Brooke. Brooke's mom Cindy and I have spent time with the girls together, and Cindy seemed sane. Then Meghan came home and told me Cindy let her 4-year-old son pee in the aisle of a bookstore because the bookstore's bathroom was only for customers. Brooke's little brother had to pee, and the sales associate wouldn't relax the rule. From what Meghan tells me, Cindy set her son down and helped him pull down his pants. Meghan and Brooke found the public urination to be hilarious, and Cindy told them the sales associate should have let them use the restroom, because it was "obviously an emergency." I think Cindy behaved like a crazy person, and I'm upset she behaved this way in front of my daughter. I don't want Meghan to spend time with Cindy anymore, but I also don't want to ruin her friendship with Brooke. This seems like an elaborate and weird story for my truthful daughter to create, but I probably need to talk to Cindy anyway. Any pointers?
A: It sounds as if Cindy's goal is to turn her son into the next "Mr. Johnson." Yes, it's a foolish salesperson who won't let a desperate mother take her 4-year-old son into the bathroom. But in response the answer is not liquid vandalism. Tell your daughter that as hilarious as the prank may have seemed, you're concerned about Cindy's lack of judgment and you're going to talk to the other mother about it. Then call Cindy and in as light a way as possible, tell her what your daughter told you. Assuming she confirms, while making some excuse about urgency, tell her you understand what a full bladder means, but you think her solution was unfortunate. Unless her response makes you think she is globally unbalanced, then let it go. Two 11-year-old girls mostly want to hang out with each other, not with each other's moms.
Q. Re: Licky Boyfriend: Too funny! I married my face-licker, but as long as he is clean shaven, I lick him back! I guess that makes me annoying!
A: Wow.
Q. Spanking Issues: My ex-husband recently remarried a woman with two kids. The two children I have with my ex-husband spend weekends with their father and their stepmother. I'm married, and my husband's daughter lives with us. My husband and I don't spank our kids. When we were married, my ex-husband and I didn't spank our children either. But my ex's wife spanks her kids, and now she wants to spank mine if they misbehave when they're with her. She has a list of behaviors that will incur spanking, which includes hitting others and cursing. My kids are well behaved and have never done anything that would "warrant" spanking. Even so, I do not want their stepmother to spank them ever. My ex-husband has sided with his wife. She says that I'm making it difficult for them to parent by dictating what they do in their home. But isn't corporal punishment different from other household rules?
A: It is difficult when children are spread between multiple parents and many households, but I agree that corporal punishment is different from, "You may not have to make the bed at your father's house, but you do here." The American Academy of Pediatrics is against spanking (and so am I). But many people do it and studies have found that what's particularly harmful is if it's done while the parent is enraged and used as an all-purpose tool of discipline. It appears less objectionable if it's done in a physically limited way for specific offenses. Your children's new stepmother sounds severe and difficult and she has a long list of offenses that result in tanning kids' bottoms. Your ex is likely going along because he doesn't want to incur her wrath upon himself. But she shouldn't be putting her hands on your children without your permission. In as nonconfrontational a way as possible you should make that clear and say you would like to hear of spanking-worthy offenses and you will handle the punishment yourself. Then tell your kids to let you know if they get hit when they're visiting their father.
Q. Re: Baby shower: Is there something to the sister not wanting the shower, or do you think that's solely due to her mother's prior comments? If she truly doesn't want it, perhaps she would benefit more from lower-key interactions with her true friends and support system (gift-giving one-on-one as desired), rather than put her in a social setting she'd truly prefer not to be in, and showering the love on the baby once it does arrive. Baby won't be the one to remember the shower, after all.
A: Good point that someone who really doesn't want a shower shouldn't be forced into having one. But however this new life got started, the baby shouldn't be treated differently from other children.
Q. From original writer on breast-feeding: Thanks, Emily. The image of the entire family trotting out of the room, canes, walkers, and toddlers in tow gave me the giggles!
A: Let's hope your niece doesn't file a "hostile family environment" suit.
Emily Yoffe: Thanks, everyone. Have a good week.

. HQ USAF established Air Combat Command to integrate most of the combat resources of Strategic Air Command and Tactical Air Command into a single command, able to support and implement joint missions. The new organization assumed control of all fighter resources based in the continental United States (CONUS), as well as all bombers, reconnaissance platforms, battle management resources, and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Additionally, some tankers and C-130s were assigned to ACC, primarily to its composite and reconnaissance wings. The Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission transferred to the command from Air Mobility Command (AMC) in Feb 1993. In another mission change, ACC transferred responsibility for the operational control of the ICBMs to the Air Force Space Command and F-15 and F-16 flying training resources to the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) in Jul 1993. Later in Oct 1993, CONUS C-130 airlift forces transferred into ACC while the command's tanker resources transferred to AMC. The C-130 forces returned to AMC in Apr 1997. The CSAR mission transferred to Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) in Oct 2003 only to return to ACC in Apr 2006. Air Combat Command also served as the Air Force component of the United States Atlantic Command (later, United States Joint Forces Command).

Rough weather causing flight delays up to four hours
A tornado watch has been issued for the tri-county area through 9 p.m.
The watch was posted after strong thunderstorms passed over the region. More storms could be headed this way into the evening, said meteorologist Andy Tingler of the National Weather Service in Miami.
Because of the rough weather, airports were reporting significant flight delays.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International had 27 arrival delays and 35 departure delays -- some up to four hours -- as of 3 p.m., said airport spokesman Greg Meyer.
Miami International reported 37 flight delays, although some of those were the result of bad weather in the Northeast, said airport spokesman Greg Chin. Palm Beach International Airport reported only a few delays.
So far, the nastiest weather has hit Palm Beach County.
Up to 8 inches of rain has fallen between West Palm Beach and Wellington since Thursday night. That has left streets and low-lying areas flooded.
Broward and Miami-Dade counties have received from a trace to 2 inches of rain.
An urban flood advisory has been issued for much of the region through 5 p.m. today.
The rough weather is the result of a cold front, expected to arrive tonight. It should bring drier, cooler air over the weekend.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Jury Rigged
Did racism skew the Zimmerman verdict?
One of the six jurors in the Trayvon Martin case, identified only as juror B37, has come forward to explain George Zimmerman's acquittal. Her account, presented on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 over the last two nights and in a statement today, clarifies many things. Some of her revelations are shocking. Many are illuminating. Here's what we can learn from them so far.
1. She's one of the most pro-Zimmerman jurors. Bear this in mind before you impute her views to others. She told Cooper the jury's initial vote was one for second-degree murder, two for manslaughter, and three for acquittal. She was in the acquittal camp. Nearly everything she told Cooper matched what the defense had argued. Four of the other five jurors have issued a statement warning, "the opinions of Juror B37, expressed on the Anderson Cooper show were her own, and not in any way representative of the jurors listed below." Also see Dahlia Lithwick's thorough examination of this juror's peculiarities.
2. Her understanding of racial bias is narrow. She said race was never discussed in the jury room. Beyond that, she didn't purport to speak for anyone else. When Cooper asked whether Zimmerman had racially profiled Martin, she said, "I don't think he profiled him as a racial thing," and "I don't think race had anything to do with this trial." She gave three reasons why Zimmerman's suspicion wasn't racial. First, the neighborhood had suffered many robberies, and Zimmerman was a watchman, so it was his job to look for possible criminals. Second, Martin's behavior, by itself, was suspicious: "He was cutting through the back. It was raining. [Zimmerman] said he [Martin] was looking in houses as he was walking down the road. Kind of just not having a purpose to where he was going. He was stopping and starting. … [It was] dark at night, raining, and anybody would think anybody walking down the road stopping and turning and looking … is suspicious." Third, given this behavior, Zimmerman "would have reacted the exact same way" if Martin had been white.
Those three claims, as stated, are reasonable grounds to conclude that Zimmerman's suspicion wasn't racial. The question is whether they're true. Would Zimmerman have called 911 if Martin were white? My guess is that he would. But if you tweak one more element of the equation—change the hoodie to a button-down shirt, for instance—I bet you get a different result. That's how racial profiling works. Race tilts your brain, perhaps slightly, and often below the level of your awareness.
Juror B37 shows little awareness. It's hard to sit through the trial of a neighborhood watchman for shooting an unarmed black kid, on a jury with no black members, and come away saying race had nothing to do with the trial. Even if your heart is pure, a basic understanding of how the case would look to many black people should make you temper that statement. This doesn't make juror B37 bigoted or callous. She cried genuine tears for "Trayvon" even as she sympathized with "George." But it does make her unlikely to recognize subtler levels of bias.
Cooper asked her about Martin's comment to a friend that Zimmerman looked like a "creepy-ass cracker." She shrugged off the remark: "I don't think it's really racial. I think it's just everyday life, the type of life that they live, and how they're living, in the environment that they're living in." They, they, they. Not many white kids use the term "cracker." They, in this context, evidently means black. When you see a group of people as they, it can affect many things, including your guesses about behavior and motivation. In this case, those guesses were crucial, since Martin isn't around to explain what he did.
It's worth noting, however, that Juror B37 described Zimmerman as "Spanish or Puerto Rican," which she distinguished from "white." He, too, may have been a they. The difference is that she didn't have the same freedom to guess at his movements and motives. He got to tell his own story.
3. Several jurors thought Zimmerman was morally culpable. "There was a couple of them in there that wanted to find him guilty of something," the juror said. "I wanted to find him guilty of not using his senses." He "went overboard" and "got in a little bit too deep, which he shouldn't have been there." She concluded: "He's guilty of not using good judgment. When he was in the car and he called 911, he shouldn't have gotten out of that car."
This refutes the claim from Zimmerman's lawyers that the verdict fully exonerates their client. But Juror B37 also noticed details that undermine the prosecution's portrait of him as a cowboy. "The 911 operator also, when he was talking to him, kind of egged him on," she argued. "He should have said, Stay in your car,' not 'Can you see where he's gone?'" (In the transcript, the dispatcher says, "Let me know if this guy does anything else," and asks, "Which way is he running?" But when he finds out Zimmerman is following the suspect, he adds, "We don't need you to do that.")
4. She thinks Zimmerman told some lies, but they don't matter. "With all the evidence of the phone calls and all the witnesses," she said, "I think George was pretty consistent and told the truth, basically. I'm sure there were some fabrications, enhancements, but I think pretty much it happened the way George said it happened." Apparently the prosecution's focus on discrepancies in his accounts didn't work. She had decided that the fibs were small and that he was basically an honest guy.
5. She thinks Martin started the fight. Nobody but Martin and Zimmerman saw this part of the incident, so it requires inference and speculation. When Cooper asked whether Martin threw the first punch, she said yes. "Trayvon decided that he wasn't going to let [Zimmerman] scare him and get the one-over-up on him, or something. And I think Trayvon got mad and attacked him." She assigned much of the blame to Martin: "He played a huge role in his death … when George confronted him, and he could have walked away and gone home. He didn't have to do whatever he did and come back and be in a fight." Come back indicates that she thinks Martin wasn't cornered. She thinks he chose the altercation. She told Cooper that she thought the other jurors felt that way, too. But she doesn't know.

Flu Frenzy Frames Biotechs' Futures
(GILD - Get Report), the maker of the influenza drug Tamiflu -- the product that appears to offer the best hope against the virus. Since the start of the year, Gilead's shares are up 49% compared with the 23% increase of the Amex Biotech Index and the almost 2% rise of the S&P 500. The company's market capitalization above $24 billion makes it one of the world's biggest biotechs.Recently the company has squabbled with marketing partner Roche over the rights for Tamiflu, but it remains at the forefront of any discussion about how best to prepare and protect against the bird flu. There's little doubt that Gilead has a leading position in this fight, but rather quietly, lesser-known and often very small companies like Biocryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX - Get Report) and AVI BioPharma (AVII) are stepping up their own attempts at easing spreading fears of a pandemic. The avian flu, primarily the H5N1 strain transferred from bird to bird, has been detected in more than 100 humans since the first reported bird-to-human case in Hong Kong in 1997. What's been garnering the most attention lately are worries that a mutant human-to-human version could be on the horizon. Now that the disease has leaked westward, with cases showing up in Romania and Turkey, biotech companies are scrambling to develop their own vaccines and treatments for the disease.With the avian flu hysteria spreading exponentially faster than the disease itself, investors have been stocking up on Gilead Sciences

As you've all said, it's not going to end well. However, you have to appreciate that at least this century the US has been overthrowing dictators, as opposed to the Cold War policy of supporting dictators such as Pinochet.
A bit off topic there, but with this whole thing my main hope is that Britain doesn't get involved. It looks like we probably will, along with France, now the US has decided to send arms. Even though everybody knows they're probably just going to be used by terrorists / future dictators once the war is over. If it ever is. I'm just hoping Nick Clegg would destroy the coalition rather than assist the rebels.
