Moderate update with the third city added and the roads of the port reworked a bit.
I've accepted an unpaid commission for the making of a city map for phlegethon. As you can see, I'm in a very early and preliminary stage with this project but I'd like to get something up for comment and all that.
So far only two of the tree cities are sketched in, but progress is being made.
Moderate update with the third city added and the roads of the port reworked a bit.
Getting nice. I specially like how the port city looks in the second map.
Is the one on the upper right supposed to be square, or you still have to expand it?
I still have to expand the cities, but the city in the upper right was intended as a planned city with considerable gridding.
I've been astonishingly busy with work and all that, so I regret the lack of progress. That said, I have managed to begin a possible means of depicting farmland.
Those are great looking street and building sizes and patterns!
Lovely work!
Indeed - nice layout. That seems like an awful lot of population for three settlements to be so close. I could imagine three different *purposes*, so it's not unbelievable, just puzzling until I see the backstory. What kind of scale are you figuring on?
Looking good, though the farmland might be a bit "busy" for my taste. Perhaps a bit less saturation or a bit more highlights in the farms?

A Rising Baseball Star and a Famous Baseball Twin Face DUI Arrests
Two figures in the baseball world faced DUI arrests recently, adding their names to the long list of prominent athletes to face scrutiny about their drinking and driving.
Delino DeShields Jr. is a youngster on the verge of his pro career, while Ozzie Canseco is the twin brother of major league star and steroid poster boy Jose Canseco, who only played a few games at the highest level.
DeShields, an infielder in the Houston Astros organization who is not even old enough to drink alcohol legally, was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving while headed the wrong way on a one-way street in Georgia.
DeShields Jr., the son of former major league baseball player Delino DeShields, admitted to having consumed some alcohol at a University of Georgia fraternity party, according to the Houston Chronicle.
The police suspected that he had drunk more than he admitted to, and in fact he registered a .076 blood alcohol content at the scene of the police stop. The legal limit for those under the age of 21 is .02 percent. DeShields recently turned 18.
Also in DeShields' SUV were four open bottles of alcohol. With that, he logged three charges related to the stop: underage possession of alcohol, DUI and the driving violation for driving the wrong way on a one-way street.
DeShields took responsibility for the incident via a statement on his Facebook page, which stated "I take the responsibility of being a role model seriously and apologize to my fans, my community and the Astros organization, who continue to support my family and I during this unfortunate incident. I look forward to putting this matter behind me."
The DUI charge and hearing will not impact DeShields' trip to spring training in February, the first of his young career after being selected by the Astros in the first round of the 2010 draft.
Ozzie Canseco, who is in a far different stage of his career, faces DUI concerns of his own, after being pulled over at 2 in the morning in Hillsborough, Florida, according to ABC News.
The twin brother of slugger and steroid user Jose Canseco registered a .108 and .109 blood alcohol content when tested. He is currently the baseball director at a local sporting goods center in Florida.
He had a long career in the minor leagues and the independent leagues, starting in 1983 and continuing into the early 2000s.
Ozzie has been charged with DUI. In 2003, he pleaded guilty to possession of anabolic steroids after a traffic stop.

I had to quit my job when we found out I was pregnant (I had been working as a waitress/bartender in a smokey bar). Applied for Medicaid and was accepted. Went to a local hospital.
When I decided I wanted a home birth, my fiance thought it would be a good idea to continue going to the hospital visits along with the home visits we were getting from our midwife. It was kind of his experiment to see the differences between the two, which turned out to be fascinating indeed.
We paid *out of pocket for our home birth, which consisted of paying our doula, midwife and getting some supplies. We ended up paying about $1600. *We put it on our credit card!
I thought of this hypothetical: "having a home birth is too expensive. My insurance doesn't cover it," "but we just put a plasma-screen TV on our credit card last weekend." Or you could insert, 'new car', or 'a boat', whatever! Know what I mean?
We spent our money damn well if you ask me. ;)
mine was free! sorry to rub it in.
for those who are considering a move to canada, do it! there are many provinces that cover midwifery care (home or hospital) under the government health care (yep, for free).
i live in BC, our health care is called MSP (medical service plan). it is supposed to be 'free for all' but there is a percentage charge depending on your income. no fee for low income. so we pay about $20 a month. or we used to, now my husbands work pays. this covers all dr visits, a portion of meds, all testing, surgeries, hospital stays, specialist referrals and the rest).
many people have extended health benefits through their employer to cover glasses, dentist, massage, naturopathic, chiropractic.
we had a homebirth and it was covered (prenatal, testing, birth, postpartum). i paid to rent a birthing tub and some home supplies (candles, fish scoop, towels etc) all medical supplies the midwife had.
i wish it was like this for all!
but even with this, most people have births at the hospital with a dr (usually gp's that catch babies). the awareness is slowly changing. there are not midwifes everywhere, but most places.

Lafayette, LA (Sports Network) - Shawn Long posted a double-double with 17
points and 16 rebounds as the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns took down the Arkansas
State Red Wolves, 51-56, in a Sun Belt Conference showdown at the Cajundome.
Kasey Shepherd and Elfrid Payton each had 13 points for Louisiana (7-12, 3-5

You should check out some of the threads, particular the stickies at the top of this forum...
There is only a need for one run of coax to the Hopper. The basics of the wiring are:
2 runs of coax from a DP switch (could be a 1000.4 built-in or could be a DPP34/44 switch) to a single node. One run of coax from the node to the Hopper. One run of coax from the node to 1 or more Joeys, the Joey runs of coax can be split from each other like part of a home distribution setup.
A dual Hopper config is slightly different, mainly at the node, but still only one run of coax to where the Hopper is installed.
You need to use a dpplus signal... You can use a dpplus lnb (110,119) a 44 switch, a 33 switch 1000.2 western (110,119,129), 1000.2 eastern ( 61.5, 72,77) or the same orbital locations for a 1000.4, but YOU CANNOT USE DPPRO EQUIPMENT, OR LEGACY EQUIPMENT SO YOU CANNOT USE A 34 SWITCH.

Hi! Recently i was trying to install Zimbra Collaboration Suite 7.2.1 on ClearOS - it's CentOS 5.2 with already preinstalled different gateway soft.
Installation passed almost normally - there was only port conflict on LDAP-port 389 (ClearOS has it's own LDAP), but i solved it by changing zimbra-ldap port from 389 to 340. All services was running fine. But after system restart zimbra services don't want to start and i can't start them manualy with zmcontrol - it said that it must be run from zimbra user. I was trying to switch to zimbra's system user with command su - zimbra, but it answered that there is no user zimbra. Yes, and before restart command su - zimbra passed normaly - i tested it after zimbra's complete reinstall.
Unfortunately i'm new to linux, and don't know what to do or where to look. Help me please.
Sorry for my bad english

Lungs, Legs, core and back. That's what I think you should focus on to get in elk hunting shape.
Lungs - interval running is the single best exercise I have found for my lung capacity. It is painful, but it works. Sprint on flat land for 2 minutes, walk for 2 minutes, do 8 intervals, you will be clawing for breath. If on a treadmill, put the incline on 5 or 6, run 6 or 6.5 mph for 2 min, then walk at 3.5 mph for 2 min. Do 8 intervals. You can't do this every day, on off days run 3 miles for time and try and push yourself.
Legs - The two best things I have found for legs are walking lunges first and foremost and ski squats second. As your legs get in shape, you can start doing walking lunges with a pack with weight to really get in good shape. Ski squats, put your back on a tree or a wall, go down till your thighs are paralell to the ground, start your stop watch. Do 1 minute intervals with 30 seconds of rest.
Back and core: General pushups and sit ups are good but I believe in practicing how you play. To that end, I have 3 20 lb sandbags I will strap those into my frame pack and go climb stairs. I climb for an hour, the biggest challenge is finding a building big enough, the one I climb is only 8 stories, so its a lot of up and down. I train with 40 lbs most of the time and do 60 only a few times to get a feel for the weight. You can also start with 60 lbs till you fatigue, drop to 40 till you fatigue, then do 20 till you can't climb any more.
The older you get the more time your body takes to recover and you need to incorporate that. When you are young buck you can't really over train, as you age you definitely need to give yourself some time to heal.
That's what works for me, I don't go in the gym, I just get it done on my own. One HUGE thing I never worked out with until last year is an mp3 player. Some good angry workout music keeps you going longer than you would normally. The other big challenge working out outside here is the summers get brutal. Climbing stairs in 98 degree august can be a real challenge.
I consider myself in elk shape when I can get a 40lb pack up and down 1000 vertical feet of stairs in under an hour. I live at sea level. Altitude is something you just cannot train for, but if you are in good shape it will take you 1-2 days to get acclimated, incorporate that into your hunt plans. The longest day I had last year was 17 miles about 5000 vertical feet in one day. It was a nutkick, but I survived and got up to go the next day.

Altitude is the key.
I'm a big sports fan and one of the advantages the Denver Nuggets have is the altitude. You will see teams come in and run out of gas especially on the tail end of a back-to-back game. They have a run and gun style that works well for the high altitude because the teams they play are not acclimated and have a hard time keeping up. Of course these pro players are in better cardio shape than us ( I know, speak for yourself, but I know what kind of shape these athletes are in) but they can't come into Denver and get adjusted to the altitude and it really isn't that high altitude when compared to hunting. The altitude has that much more influence out hunting the high country. I always do great until I hit the 9,800 ft mark and then I have to take breaks more often.
I solo hunt so I lift to be able to manage the animal on my own but that does not get me in shape for the hiking. I base train with jogging and train my body to recover with interval training, stuff similar to what Doe Nob posted.
You could always get an elevation mask to train with. For me nothing beats strapping on the pack and hiking a few miles loaded down, I know a lot of people don't have that luxury.
Shoot STR8
We all agree on one thing, preparation is paramount to success! As for me, it's five a.m. Runs with my sweetie, ball practice with my varsity girls team helping them with drills, weights after practice (high intensity circuits), snowshoeing on the weekends, and as much time in the mountains rambling around as possible. Scouting is great fun and can be great exercise as well. The only thing I would add would be a note on diet.... You are what you eat, junk in, junk out. I try to live by the motto, "if I can't grow it, pick it, or hunt/catch/kill it, then I don't eat it. That is a major challenge when on the road during b-ball season but can be done. I try to eat tons of fruit and veggies, lots of lean meat (ELK), and really limit my sugar, carb, and dairy intake. This makes me feel great and coupled with potent multivitamins, fish oil, and joint health supplements keeps me going strong all year.

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
Hi Guys
Browser refuses to open PDF's in Acrobate reader directly, instead you need to save it localy first and then open the file from a local storage.
The possibility to open a PDF document directly in Acrobate Reader (via Internet Explorer) is just a setting on the Web App service on the SharePoint server. Security From Strong to Weak - I've set this on different SharePoint servers and PDF's open in reader - Why is'nt this a default setting on Office 365?
I have used SharePoint 2003, 2007 for years and the way Office 365 SharePoint handles PDF's are unseen so fare.
MOSS 2010 Enterprise behaves exactly like Office 365, until you change from strong to weak on the server side, the browser will not open PDF's directly into Adobe Reader. But change to weak - same behavior as earlier versions!
I have tested this on different servers and I know this is correct!
This is NOT a client configuration issue! - If it is, please inlighten me!
This is a major issue to my customers since all of them are using PDF's!
By default (configuration) in Office 365 you must save a PDF locally before you can view the PDF.
Will Microsoft change this setting or is it any workarounds?
There are other different discussions going on about PDF handling:
The issue concerning PDF handling is a big issue for me - all my customers are using PDF's.
Please inform.
Thanks for the feedback.
6 out of 6 people found this post helpful.
You can contribute to the existing topics regarding PDFs and Office 365, there's no need to open a new thread for the same discussion...
Hi again Chris
If you read the existing threads - they are all marked ANSWERED - but there are realy no solutions or there are incorrect solutions in them.
So therefore - A new topic for a de facto solution.
The threads I'm refering to is closed with status Answered, but they ar not!
PS: You did not give any last reply in the "dead" threads - so why follow up this one?
Anyone pls?
If it remains true that Office 365 can't open PDF's directly in a browser..
This renders Office 365 unusable for my customers....and I got a bunch waiting for this.
Sad, for me and ms
This is old stuff from the Beta period.
I would rather not have the ability to open PDF files in one step, that to have anything on a shared server set to weak. If you Firefox it will appear that it is doing it, but all it does is save then open in one step.
FireFox is a fantastic browser - but I'm bound by policies to use MS Iexplorer.
I also love that superstep your describing Robert - But it's not for me :-)
PS: Weak is = as before. It is not THAT weak
I agree MCH - but this is rather catastrophich to resale and usage for all of us!
In my simple mind - I can't understand why this is done by MS?
Why dosent they change their configuration?
You are correct this is the server side browser file handling setting which is set to strict. Feel free to keep posting and open a support request. Also tag your comments with 'permissive browser file handling' which appears to be one of the most used tags.
Here's a sampling of the many threads:
Here's a description of the limitation:
Hi Jbooker
I will do that - I will also open a support request with Microsoft!
I already got the information yoy have provided, but thank you for beeing informativ and correct!
This issue need to be solved - I will start kicking in MS doors tomorrow - BIG TIME!!!!
I love SharePoint/Office 365 - therefore I'm pretty angry!!!
Collaboration ?
Hi smilward,
There are a myriad number of reasons why this is not not enabled, chiefly amongst which are that security settings need to be lowered in order for this to be achieved, followed closely by the fact that the environment is multi-tenant.
A change like this, while convenient for a lot of folks, would affect everyone within the farm. One other thing to remember is this: the product was just released a few weeks ago. It may not be a feature at this point in time, but it may be something considered in the future!

Please Choose a Park:
Cape Henlopen State Park
Lewes, Delaware
Beaches and Open Spaces
Cape Henlopen's beaches attract thousands of visitors who enjoy ocean swimming and sunbathing. A designated swimming beach, accessible from the Lewes entrance to the park, provides lifeguard patrols between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day (schedule mayvary due to staff availability).Umbrellas can be rented during the summer. The swimming area also features a modern bath house with showers, changing rooms, and a food concession. Mobi-Mat equipment, consisting of three 30-foot mats allowing those in wheelchairs and power chairs to access the beach from the boardwalk, is also available at this location. View our wheelchair policy here.
The park's open spaces feature many other activities. A picnic pavilion and the "Officer's Club" building can both be reserved for group events. An 18-hole disc golf course encourages friendly competition, and basketball courts promote more active exercise. Winter hunting is permitted in some areas of the park; a hunting permit is required, and information can be obtained from the Park Office. Annual events such as the Kite Festival and the Halloween Fantasy Trail are family favorites. The park also conducts a variety of entertaining recreational programs, including natural history lectures, seaside seining, and birdwatching, to name but a few.
Cape Henlopen has many year-round hiking and biking opportunities. Experience the park's scenic and ever-changing landscape - and get a lesson in history - along the three-mile-long paved trail that loops the park. Take a trail break and climb to the top of the World War II Observation Tower, where the 360-degree views are spectacular. Or take a short climb to the top of a former military bunker to view the dynamic action along the Atlantic coastline. Explore the coastal environment along the Seaside or the Pinelands Nature Trails, or hike the six miles of beach along the Atlantic Ocean.
Surf Fishing Restrictions
Vehicles bearing surf-fishing permits (meaning their occupants must be actively engaged in recreational surf fishing) are required to park in single file, with a ban on vehicle stacking. This enables better enforcement of the actively-engaged rule and also addresses safety concerns for beachgoers and park staff. Read More
About Beach Driving
Vehicles may be driven onto the beach for the sole purpose of actively engaging in fishing, in designated areas only. A surf fishing vehicle tag is required to use these areas.

In response to: Enterprise Report Management (the other ERM)Have any other countries set a target date to stop using cheques/checks?
In UK news today; cheques (or Checks for American readers) will be phased out by October 2018 due to the payment method being in "terminal decline", but only if adequate alternatives are developed.
Banks and credit providers have been investing in chips which allow a customer to pay when the chip is pushed against a sensor, known as contactless technology. Using a mobile phone to pay is another alternative.

- Yes, see http://www.fs.fed.us/plan/stratplan.pdf for the USDA Forest Service's Strategic Plan (2000 Revision). Geospatial data are not specifically mentioned in any of the four Forest Service GPRA goals but are integral to meeting our goals of improved resource management and public service. The Forest Service sees geospatial data and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology as critical resources and tools for accomplishing our program missions. Within each of the four GPRA goals are many individual geospatial data collection, maintenance and delivery efforts, which are natural extensions of our mandated mission and goals. These goals involve land and natural resource management, which are inherently geospatial.
6a. List agency GPRA strategic plan goals specifically related to spatial data activities:
Goal 1 -- Promote ecosystem health and conservation using a collaborative approach to sustain the Nation's forests, grasslands, and watersheds.
- Implement a system with national standards for assessing watershed conditions by 2001.
- Provide research results and tools to support the sustainable management, protection, and restoration of watersheds.
- Establish scientifically credible monitoring programs, develop survey protocols, and initiate baseline and trend surveys for populations, habitats, and/ or ecological conditions to provide for viability of threatened and endangered species, species at risk, and other MIS/ focal species.
- Identify priority health restoration needs through national and regional environmental monitoring and ecological risk assessments that include social and economic factors.
- Focus agency resources to: - Reduce fire hazards, especially in urban/ wildland interface areas.
Goal 2 -- Provide a variety of uses, values, products, and services for present and future generations by managing within the capability of sustainable ecosystems.
- Research methods for estimating recreation capacity and demand using ecological capabilities and social factors.
- Maintain the integrity of roadless areas for dispersed recreation opportunities through implementation of a roadless area conservation policy.
- Establish baseline information and indicators for determining and maintaining wilderness quality in collaboration with other agencies.
- Improve legal public use of NFS lands by acquiring rights- of- way for roads and trails and by clearly identifying NFS boundaries.
- Identify data sources( s), collect data, and establish baseline indicators by FY 2003 that support the measurement of progress toward the objective.
Goal 3 -- Develop and use the best scientific information available to deliver technical and community assistance and to support ecological, economic, and social sustainability.
- Increase technical assistance and technology transfer in dealing with economic, environmental, and social changes related to natural resources to-
- Tribal governments.
- Rural communities.
- Private landowners.
- Diversify delivery mechanisms for scientific, developmental, and technical information.
- Encourage NFS, State and Private Forestry, Research and Development, and International Programs to establish their respective baselines for the delivery of scientific, developmental, and technical information.
- Implement inventory and monitoring systems to provide scientific information and decision support across all land ownerships.
- Provide research results and tools through technology transfer that support effective management, protection, and restoration of ecosystems.
- Incorporate/ integrate the best available science in all broad- scale assessments and land and resource management plan revisions.
Goal 4 -- Ensure the acquisition and use of an appropriate corporate infrastructure to enable the efficient delivery of a variety of uses.
- Complete and maintain inventories and condition surveys of roads, trails, and facilities.
- Develop and manage a standardized, integrated resource information environment that supports agency programs and facilitates cooperation and coordination with other land management partners.
- Establish baseline data for informational services and structures.
6b. List agency GPRA performance measures specifically related to spatial data activities (Note: measures listed rely heavily on the use and application of geospatial data for strategy development,program monitoring, documenting accomplishments and sharing results with partners and customers)
By 2006:
- 100 percent of national forests and grasslands have established measurable objectives and monitoring programs for populations, habitats, and/ or ecological conditions for threatened and endangered species, other species for which there are viability concerns, and other MIS/ focal species, and are achieving objectives at rates consistent with timeframes identified in land and resource management plans.
- Make information available for determining sustainable quantities of goods and services for the Nation's forests and grasslands.

7. Strategy: Has your agency prepared a strategy for advancing geographic information and spatial data activities in coordination with the FGDC strategy, pursuant to Circular A-16?
Yes, The Forest Service (FS) Geospatial Executive Board (GEB) was established to provide oversight and coordination of Forest Service (FS) geospatial programs and activities. The GEB, utilizing an advisory committee representing a broad spectrum of FS units, has developed a strategy for advancing geographic information and spatial data activities which includes:
- geospatial data development, management and dissemination;
- standards development, adoption, and administration;
- applications development and implementation;
- evaluation and acquisition of geospatial technologies;
- technical support services; and
- training and technology transfer.
The GAC has identified issues critical to advancing FS geographic information and spatial data activities. A work plan is in place to address, monitor these issues. The GAC develops and makes recommendations to the GEB concerning geospatial program execution and resources needed to manage Forest Service data assets and meet corporate requirements.
Additional information regarding the efforts of the Forest Service Geospatial Advisory Committee is available upon request.
8. Standards: Has your agency developed and/or adopted appropriate standards?
- Yes, where available FGDC standards or other recognized national and international standards are used for resource mapping data and other inventory and monitoring data contained in Forest Service National Applications. Nationally approved standards are used for Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data.
9. Metadata: Is your agency's metadata and/or data available and discoverable online through an NSDI-compatible clearinghouse node registered as part of the NSDI Clearinghouse Network?
The Forest Service Geospatial Service and Technology (GSTC) will house an NSDI compatible clearinghouse node, which will be part of the NSDI Clearinghouse Network. The node is scheduled to be active by the end of the first quarter of FY02. Forest Service resource mapping data and associated metadata will be made available through this clearinghouse node.
10. Vertical and Horizontal Data Integration: Is your data integratable with other Federal agencies and other sources of data (State, County, local, private)?
Yes, the Forest Service is actively involved in the National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP), an interagency program which promotes the sharing of standardized digital elevation data, such as Digital Elevation Models, orthophotography and related mapping resource data. The Forest Service participates with the US Geological Survey in the production of the Single Edition 1:24,000 scale Topographic Quadrangle Map, which is vertically and horizontally integratable with other source data, and produced to a national standard. The Forest Service is also involved in many data sharing partnerships with State and local governments. The sharing of standard, integrable source data is the primary goal of these partnerships.
11. E-Gov: How are you using geospatial data in your mission activities to provide better services?
The Forest Service Recreation, Heritage and Wilderness Resource staff is involved in several interagency E -Gov initiatives that involve utilization of geospatial data. An effort is currently underway to provide on -line campground reservation services, complete with interactive, navigational maps. As an initial start to this endeavor, the Forest Service and other Federal agencies have established a cooperative arrangement with the state governments of New York and New Jersey; and the county government of Arlington, Virginia, to begin development of this on-line service. This web-served geospatial database will be supported by federal, state and local governments. The database will ultimately provide a complete view of all recreational opportunities and related public services.
The Forest Service and other federal agencies involved with www.recreation.gov are using spatial data to develop on-line route mapping for a variety of recreational activities.
The Forest Service has developed a package for use by our forests and other recreational areas, which uses remotely sensed data to create virtual tours that can be viewed, on-line, by the public.
Are there areas or issues regarding spatial data that require attention, or lessons-learned that you would like to share with others?
Lessons Willing to Share:
The Forest Service has developed a Resource Mapping Evaluation (RMET) Tool Kit in order facilitate the efficient Forest Service-wide acquisition of GIS resource mapping core data layers. The RMET is used to assess the current status of the applicable data layers on National Forest System lands, to determine costs of acquisition and conversion, and to monitor the development of the data through time. This tool can be adapted for use by other organizations.
The Forest Service has established an agency level FGDC Coordinating Group to oversee involvement in the various FGDC subcommittees and working groups, as well as involvement in state, local and other data sharing efforts. This effort has proved to be a successful way to monitor, coordinate and communicate these many, related activities and has resulted in more efficient and effective participation.
Issues of Concern
- Effectively collecting and managing the vast amount of resource data continues to be an enormous task.
- Data licensing continues to be an issue.
- New policy must be established regarding land ownership records, which are available on-line.
- Collection of needed Forest Inventory and Analysis data on privately owned land is not always possible and this can adversely influence research results.

Motley Crue's Vince Neil has reassured fans the group is not splitting up after its final tour – the bandmates just won't be playing live anymore.
Neil and his pals staged a press conference in January to announce plans for a final set of international dates, which will begin later this year and end in 2015, but he insists that doesn't mean the quartet will be no more after the last show.
In a recent interview the singer said, "The band isn't over. Here's the thing. Motley Crue is a business, and there's different parts of the business – merchandising, there's music and there's touring. We're just ceasing the touring part.
"But there's gonna be still music coming from Motley Crue for different types of things, and still merchandise and stuff like that. We're just saying that we won't tour anymore. That's really kind of it."
Meanwhile, Neil insists that relations between himself and his bandmates have never been better: "We've been together 33 years, and of course, we have our arguments, just like brothers do. You have an argument and you make up the next day… It's a family. (But) we're all having fun right now."

Taking Time
Walter and Melinda Hawkes
"You should do very well as a Peace Corps Volunteer. You're creative, and you have a solid entrepreneurial background," offered one of my dad's friends, a successful businessman, in response to my impending departure for service in Tanzania, East Africa.
"Thanks, I hope so. I really would like to make a difference."
And so do most Volunteers as they set out, I thought, somewhat naively. At the date of official conscription, my wife and I boarded a plane bound for destinations unknown to us; I was to serve as an information technology (IT) Volunteer, and she was to be a biology and health Volunteer.
As a part of pre-service training, the six IT Volunteers were assigned to internship schools. We were warned that, although each internship school would have computers, we were not to expect too much as computers were still very new to Tanzania. I was assigned to Arusha Secondary School and would be the sole IT Volunteer placed there.
As I was led into the computer lab for the first time on the first morning, I steeled myself in anticipation of finding a cobweb-infested computer graveyard. But to my surprise, I saw six, four-year-old laptop computers. They weren't bad either, having been recently acquired and refurbished. The week was going to be easier than I had thought.
In the lab I was introduced to Agnes, a young Tanzanian woman who had been hired to train teachers at the school in computer literacy. Agnes was very cordial and friendly. Even better, she spoke English and would be my counterpart for the week. Chatting with Agnes, while examining the computers we'd be working with, I quickly learned that she had a decent general knowledge of computers and was probably quite adept at teaching Microsoft Office applications. I thought to myself that this was going to be a breeze. We'd probably be able to teach the teachers most of Word, Excel, and possibly Access. The setup was accommodating, and I was excited.
Reality set in, however, when the teachers, mostly middle-aged or older, entered the room. I greeted them enthusiastically in Kiswahili as they made their way to the computers. Most of them looked at me strangely, probably wondering why a foreigner was in their computer lab. They returned my greetings with somewhat less enthusiasm. After they had taken their seats at the computers, Agnes introduced me as an American who would be with them for a week to help teach computers. Agnes then commenced with a basic Microsoft Word lesson. She handed them each an exercise to complete, which consisted mostly of typing some text and then formatting it by changing the font, making it bold, etc. The teachers began working on the exercise while Agnes went around the room supervising, correcting, and teaching—all in Kiswahili. I watched closely as to how she was helping and after a few minutes, I figured I could jump right in and make myself available to answer questions. One teacher turned to gain Agnes's attention. "Mwalimu," she said. I quickly understood the word for teacher, so I approached.
"Can I help?" I asked in English.
"Mwalimu," she repeated, pointing at Agnes.
"I can answer questions."
"Okay," I stammered while retreating, confused as to why she didn't want my help. After all, I didn't speak that much Kiswahili, but that shouldn't matter. They have to know English to be able to teach it. Besides, English is the official medium of instruction in all secondary schools in all of Tanzania.
Agnes finally explained to the woman the concept of selecting text, which had previously baffled her. When the teacher was satisfied, Agnes attended to the next person who needed assistance. Perhaps that was just the personality of the person wanting help. Maybe others would be grateful for my assistance.
Across the room I noticed two teachers trying their best to correct the grammar of a simple English sentence. They went back and forth, both offering options. Here's my chance, a nice teaching opportunity, I thought as I approached. "Hi," I said. "Actually neither of these is correct. You can write it this way…" I offered, unsolicited as it were, two ways to fix the broken, but trivial sentence. The two teachers listened, gawking at me as if soaking up my profound knowledge of the English language. Or so I thought. When I had finished, they said nothing and went back to arguing, in Kiswahili, over the same points they had been arguing prior to my intervention. I hadn't made a dent; I wasn't even heard.
After several more similar instances, I became frustrated. Very frustrated. This is trivial subject material, what is the problem? Severe thoughts streamed to the forefront of my consciousness. Had I made a mistake in coming to Africa? How will I make a difference if no one here will listen to me?
Then Agnes announced that class was over; it was time for chai. I had tried several times to help and had been rebuffed, sometimes not so gently, in each of my attempts to teach, to help. I had failed miserably. Walking with Agnes, I broached my observations and frustrations. "Um, I'm not sure I'll be of much help this week, the teachers really don't seem to want to listen to me."
"Hakuna matata," she offered, telling me not to worry.
I tried again to gain some insight from Agnes, forging my statement into a more direct interrogatory. Again she replied, "Hakuna matata."
I remained unsuccessful in drawing any more information out of Agnes on what I thought was the more pertinent subject at hand. Instead we entered the staff lounge talking about food.
"Do you like ugali?" She inquired about a native dish.
"A little."
I glanced around the staff lounge and took note of some of the faces that looked familiar, a couple of my Volunteer friends and all of the teachers who had just been in the computer lab. They had made their way to the lounge for chai. I became a little uncomfortable, a little nervous. Perhaps they were not particularly thrilled to have us there.But my feelings quickly changed. Agnes led me over to a table where one of the women who hadn't listened to a single one of my English suggestions poured me a cup of chai and started chatting with me in Kiswahili.
"Habari za leo?" She inquired.
"My day is fine."
"Unatoka wapi?"
"I'm from America."
"Karibu sana!" (You are welcome here!)
"Asante sana" (Thank you very much) I said, appreciating the warm welcome.
We continued chatting for a few minutes, as much as I could in Kiswahili with only a few weeks of language training. She was very friendly and social, curious even. Her true personality was quite the opposite of my first impression. In fact, most of the people from the computer lab came to chat with me at some point during that chai break, and each subsequent one, with genuine hospitality. The teachers became more comfortable with me when they heard that I could speak some Kiswahili, or that I was expending effort in an attempt to speak it.
Curiously, the second trip to the computer lab, for the afternoon session with the same teachers, was far different from the first. Near the beginning, two teachers actually wanted my assistance and listened intently to what I told them. I would have never guessed that teaching something as trivial as how to bold text would come to feel like a suc-cess after such miserable failure. But it did, although it baffled me. Why did they want my help now, when they could not have been bothered in the morning? What had changed? I had only talked with them a little in the best Kiswahili I could muster, very little as it were, over a cup of chai. Surely something so simple could not possibly be the difference. Or could it?
The first night I went home, exhausted, of course, and learned as many new computer-related words in Kiswahili as I could. It helped. The next day in class, the more I attempted to provide assistance in my best, broken Kiswahili, the more people wanted my help. This was great; I was really starting to help. And I did something else. I never missed a visit to the staff lounge for a cup of chai and conversation. Again, the more I spoke informally with the teachers, the more they would listen to me and, in fact, seek out my assistance.
I eventually came to call this informal time we spent together "taking time." It's taking time to learn about teachers, students, colleagues, community members, their families, work, ideas, and passions. It's taking time to understand them, to become friendly with them, to care about them. For each of them matched my curiosity and care with their own, whether by cordially offering a cup of chai or by offering something more profound like genuine friendship. By the end of the week, one by one, all of the teachers had opened up to me and let me help them. I wasn't teaching them anything complicated, just simple concepts on the computer. But nonetheless, I felt good about it. The last day, when Agnes observed that I was as busy as she was, she caught my attention with a knowing glance and casually offered, "See? Hakuna matata." I smiled, and replied to her wise words from the first day, "You were right, there are no worries."
Prior to this experience, I had been blinded by my haste, my unrealistic expectations, and my desire to jump in head-first in an effort to move quickly and make as much difference as possible. There seems to be an unending number of intangibles in trying to make a difference here. The cultural divide alone is wide and complicated. Sometimes I feel lost at the start of a project, in trying to contemplate how it will eventually be accomplished and by what means. I'm feeling this now with the current seemingly insurmountable challenge I face. Almost 1,000 teacher trainees and staff members are waiting patiently for computer training at my permanent placement site at the Teachers Training College of Korogwe. Somehow this needs to be accomplished using the college's eight old, barely functioning computers. I haven't the foggiest notion how this will happen, but I do know one thing: the simple but previously confounding first step—taking time.

Home > Surgical Procedures > Laparoscopic Incisional Ventral/Hernia Repair
1325 S Cliff AvenueSioux Falls, SD 57117-5045View a map605-322-8000
Incisional/ventral hernias are defects that emerge at the site of prior surgical incisions. They often cultivate in the abdominal wall near a previous surgical incision.
A bulge or tear occasionally arises where the abdominal muscles have weakened. A hernia develops when part of an organ protrudes through a weak point or tear in the thin muscular wall that holds the abdominal organs in place. Hernias can grow in the groin, around the navel, or any place where you may have had a surgical incision. Some hernias can develop slowly over a span of several months or years, while others can come on abruptly.
A surgeon will use a combination of special instruments, as well as a laparoscope and TV camera to perform the procedure. This equipment is used to help the surgeon view the hernia from the inside. A small incision is made in the abdominal wall. The location of the incision is chosen to lessen the risk of running into organs or scar tissue from previous operations. Other small incisions are made for placement of other instrumentation to remove any scar tissue, and to insert a surgical mesh into the stomach. The mesh is fixed under the hernia defect to the strong tissues of the abdominal wall. The surgeon will use the mesh to reinforce the weakened area of the abdominal wall. This will help prevent the hernia from occurring again.

Report before
The Congressional Human Rights Hearing on Abuses against Gypsies in Eastern Europe Washington, April 14, 1994
The Council of Europe/Commission for Security and Cooperation in Europe Joint Seminar on Romanies (Gypsies) in Europe Warsaw, September 20-23, 1994

You talk about the race problem, the immigration problem, all sorts of problems.  If you are liberal, you say that Black people have problems.  If you are not, you say they are the problem.  But the members of the new [Europe] have only one real problem; that problem is white people.  Racism, of course, is not our problem; it is yours.  We simply suffer the effects of your racism.
Salman Rushdie1
Honored Ambassador, Mister Chairman, respected fellow delegates.  I have chosen as the topic of my address before this meeting the issue of racism.  Specifically, the nature and consequences of racism in Eastern Europe directed at the Romani population.
Racism must be recognized as a cancer which, if not checked, will lead us surely and inevitably into a catastrophic situation which has the potential to destroy Europe in a 21st century chaos.  I don't wish to be charged with hyperbole, but I believe that the points I raise here cannot be made too forcefully.
The eastern European nations have, since 1989, joined the West in establishing democratic systems of government.¬† This ongoing change is not an easy one, for it must incorporate adjustments in many areas.¬† Its slowness alone frustrates many people who, rather than make an effort over time to adjust, express their desire for a return to the older regime'ÄĒthe Communist system of government that places responsibility and decision-making with the State rather than with the people.¬† We have already seen one success for the Communist Party this past year in Hungary.
Communism also placed the State above the individual, and regarded any expression of ethnic, rather than national, identity as anti-social.¬† A consequence of this was that demonstrations of ethnic and racial resentment were suppressed.¬† This did not mean that they didn'Äôt exist'ÄĒmerely that they were more or less contained.¬† With the collapse of Communism, ethnic tensions and hatreds have been able to surface, with the disastrous consequences we are witnessing in parts of Europe today.¬† A sad repercussion of this is that those groups who have little defensive power, and who are being particularly harshly victimized'ÄĒand I refer here to the Romanies, are especially anxious to return to that earlier political system which offered them a measure of protection, and which also provided them with jobs.
The move to Democracy, if it is to be successful, must incorporate all aspects of the democratic system.  If the transition in that direction is only a partial one, then the system will be incomplete, and will never function properly.  Frustration and resentment will remain.  One part of the democratic ideal which must be given priority is the granting of basic human rights.  Since 1989, the human rights record in parts of Eastern Europe has been abysmal.  Eastern European nations cannot simply pick and choose, selecting those aspects of democracy which appeal to them and ignoring those which don't; if the post-Communist nations are to embrace democracy fully and successfully, the recognition of the equal worth of all human beings must become fundamental.  The alternative can only be disaster.
As the only Romani member of the U.S. Department of State Delegation and American member of the Romani Advisory Council of the Project on Ethnic Relations, I want to draw a parallel between the Romanies in Eastern Europe and the situation of African Americans in the United States.  There is a lesson to be learned here, and one that must be heeded at all costs.
No system is perfect in practice.  The United States is the leading democratic republic in the world, but it, too, has problems.  Not because of discrimination in the law, but because of difficulties resulting from social attitudes that have become ingrained into the society.  We are trying to cope with a racist legacy instituted long before America became a nation.  We recognize the origins of racism in our country's past, and we also recognize how fundamentally wrong and destructive racism is, and our system of government is constantly trying to demonstrate this to the public through our educational system and by means of workshops, public service announcements in the media and so on.  Thus to understand the roots of the racial problems in the United States, we must look to history.  The African American population was held in slavery for nearly four centuries, and during that time was systematically dehumanized as a people.  Following abolition, extra-legal forms of peonage, as well as segregation in education, transport, health care and so on have existed well into the 20th century.  A recent public opinion poll indicated that three quarters of the White population in the United States continue to harbor racist attitudes towards Black people.  Any population that has been devalued to the point of losing its identity as human beings, over a period of centuries, will not automatically be seen as equals simply by passing a law.  Generations of prejudices must be eradicated, and this is not easily achieved.
Racism is defined as 'Äėthe belief in the superiority of a particular race.'Äô¬† This tends to reinforce particular patterns of the behavior of the majority over the minority, the dominant over the weak.¬† Racism is prejudice plus power, and no one can deny the existence of racism in all areas of administration.¬† It is legitimized in society by its very institutional nature.¬† It ensures that, in a racist society, some citizens automatically have opportunities for success and security in life that are available to them in a routine way, while other citizens must struggle for those same opportunities or else not have access to them at all.¬† A dominant, racist population sets up so many barriers in race relations, that those excluded from full participation in the system come to feel like a surplus population, worthless and frustrated.
In the United States, the long-term consequence of the racism directed at the Black American people has resulted in a deep-rooted bitterness within that population, a sense of its having been cheated, a resentment and an anger which has robbed the present generation of any sense of hope or self worth.¬† This manifests itself in many ways, above all in anger, and in a desire to strike out at anybody and anything.¬† Recent studies of this phenomenon routinely conclude that the majority of young Black Americans feel an overwhelming hopelessness about their prospects for the future.¬† Unemployment among this section of the population is the highest in the country.¬† The despair this generates translates into violence and an escape into drugs and alcohol.¬† When questioned, such young people say that they don'Äôt expect to live long in the present system, and that there are no positive prospects for them, but they will go out protesting.¬† This protest is tragically turned back onto the same African American population, a population devoid of a sense of dignity, angry at its own powerlessness.¬† Fanon, describing European oppression in Africa, writes2 of the police who 'Äúbeat the African, insult him and make him crawl'ÄĚ without fear of a hostile reaction, while at the same time the same African will 'Äúreach for his knife at the slightest hostile or aggressive glance cast at him by another African, for his last resort is to defend his personality vis-√†-vis his brother.'Ä̬† One consequence of this kind of racism is the evidence of widespread psychological problems: depression, self-hatred, rage, despair, and lack of the means to seek the kind of mental health care available to the middle classes.¬† Another is evidence of crime and sabotage of the system.¬† Over a hundred years ago, Friedrich Engels said that 'Äúthose members of the 'Äėsurplus population'Äô who, goaded by their misery, summon up enough courage to revolt openly against society, become thieves and murderers.¬† They wage open warfare against those who have for so long waged secret warfare against them.'ÄĚ
There are other consequences too.¬† If racist attitudes among some individuals prevent any feeling of concern for the population thus targeted, then consider five more widely relevant consequences of hate: (1) it destroys any sense of patriotism within the victimized group, and therefore presents a clear threat to national unity'ÄĒindeed, it can result in the emergence of two separate nations within one land; (2), racism is very expensive.¬† Not simply in a direct way (consider the hundreds of millions of dollars'Äô worth of damage the Los Angeles race riots cost the country in 1992), but also the maintenance of separate physical facilities, legal costs in race-related law suits, the cost of welfare and unemployment payments; racism, combined with a lack of skills, has resulted in an unemployment rate among Romanies which is as high as 90% in some parts of post-Communist Europe.¬† All of this costs money.¬† The wastefulness of racism alone will undermine Europe, if we do not do something now; (4) a huge section of the national workforce is not being used in a maximally productive way; its potential is being denied.¬† And (5), racism makes the whole country simply look bad; one may point to the universal condemnation of South Africa for so many years, and how it was excluded from participation in world events and world trade.
Racism as directed at Romanies in Europe has many origins.¬† Color prejudice is just one of them.¬† But color was not the reason for the initial enslavement of Romanies in the 14th century.¬† Like the enslavement of Africans, Romani slavery grew out of the desire for a large and unpaid labor force.¬† In order to keep that force from leaving the Balkans, which by the 15th century it was beginning to do, laws came into effect that turned those same workers into property.¬† The dehumanizing process began only after this event, as I have documented in my book, The Pariah Syndrome.¬† In contemporary Romania, antigypsyism is simply a continuation of discriminatory practices that Whites started in the 1300s.¬† Elsewhere, it is a legacy of similar repressive policies in effect over centuries.¬† A Romanian woman, asked about the recent murders in H|d|reni claimed that killing Gypsies wasn'Äôt murder, because murder was when you killed human beings.¬† And if you believe that this kind of thinking is restricted to Eastern Europe, I remind you of the member of the British government who declared publicly a few years ago that Romanies were 'Äúnot human beings in the normal sense.'Ä̬† In America too, a member of an Illinois police unit, Detective Dennis Marlock, told the nation on public television that American Gypsies had not yet developed genetically 'Äúlike other people'ÄĚ to the point of being able to distinguish right from wrong.¬† This month, his book on the same subject has just been published, on the cover of which is the warning that 'Äúno one is safe'ÄĚ from my people.¬† How do you imagine that I, as a university professor and a Romani, feel when I hear myself being described in this way?¬† What do I tell my children?
Another book which has relevance here is Sheldon Ekland-Olson's treatment of capital punishment in the U.S. legal system3.  Dr. Ekland-Olson, who happens to be Provost at The University of Texas, found that racism towards Black Americans, and the rate of arrests and convictions, was consistently higher today in those same states which were slave-holding states in the 19th century.  His point, and the point I am emphasizing here, is that the oppressive treatment of a population over an extended period of time will create discriminatory attitudes, the effects of which will continue to assert themselves in the actual population long after laws have been changed.  It is no coincidence that we are hearing about
the most overt examples of antigypsyism from Romania, Europe's one-time slave-holding nation.
I have been interested for some years now in the parallels between the experience of Africans and Romanies in the western world.  Some of those similarities perceived by the larger population are documented in my book4, and turn up in factual accounts as well as in fictional literature.  In this last connection, I should mention that the literary tradition has helped weave antigypsyism into the fabric of Western culture, where novels, folktales, proverbs, songs, jokes, cartoons, nursery rhymes and so on have helped create an unreal and damaging image of the Gypsy in the minds even of people who have never met one.
I am particularly interested in the parallels evident in the development of political awareness in both populations; I believed for a long time that we were running perhaps forty years behind the African Americans in our attempts at political self determination, but in terms of outward expression of anger, I think we are maybe only half as many years behind'ÄĒwithin twenty years, if we do not address the problem now, we will surely see race riots and destruction on a massive scale here in Europe as the pressure cooker can contain itself no longer.¬† Already, one Romani political party in Slovakia is advising its members to arm itself in preparation for a conflict which it sees as inevitable. 'ÄúAn increase in acts of retaliation and self defense'ÄĚ among Romanies has been reported from the towns of Pardubice, Brno, Jihlava, Budejovice and Ostrava in the Czech Republic, following a wave of murders and drownings by so-called 'Äúdeath squads'ÄĚ organized mainly by skinheads.¬† Romanies in Bulgaria and Romania are physically resisting organized white hate groups in both countries which call themselves the 'ÄúAnti-Romani Ku Klux Klan.'Ä̬† How long do we have?
Europe faces an uphill climb, and the sooner the issue of anti-Romani racism is addressed the better the chances will be of averting a catastrophe.¬† For if the African American experience is a reliable indication, this is not something which will disappear simply by providing the economic and educational means for the Romani population to aspire to the middle class.¬† The anger caused by racism is still evident in the African American middle class'ÄĒindeed, this was the cover story of the November 15th, 1993, issue of Newsweek, entitled 'ÄúThe hidden rage of successful Blacks.'Ä̬† A best selling book this year is Feagin & Sikes'Äô Living Racism: The Black Middle-Class Experience, and Grier & Cobbs'Äô book Black Rage has sold consistently since 1968.¬† It is not simply the system that has to change, and opportunities to be equalized, but we must also work to change peoples'Äô attitudes. How can this be achieved?
Feagin and Sikes suggest that a place to start is by using the law.¬† This makes perfect sense to me.¬† After being fined a few times, with substantial, financially painful'ÄĒI would suggest even crippling'ÄĒpenalties, racist administrators, companies and individuals will learn that racism is expensive.¬† While this in itself will not have any immediate effect on changing people'Äôs attitudes (a recent Times Mirror poll indicated that white Americans'Äô support for civil rights for African Americans has declined nearly ten percent since 1992), it will give Romanies the chance they need at least to show what they can do in an equal opportunity environment.¬† People in the West, as well as in Eastern Europe, want changes to come overnight, and that cannot happen; there is a danger that programs will be abandoned before their effects begin to be felt (this has already begun to happen in some places).¬† Thus Romanies will not be able to compete in the workplace unless they have had equal access to schooling, which means that the educational systems must be monitored too.¬† It will take time before Romanies will be able to compete educationally with the rest of the population.¬† In some of the countries whose representatives are here today, Romani children are placed in special schools for retarded children, where their failure to acquire any kind of useful education is guaranteed, even though a Swedish study in 1985 demonstrated that classroom problems for Romani children have their origins in the fact that those same children speak Romani and are not fluent in the national language.¬† The same study demonstrated that in a balanced situation their intelligence quotient is no lower than the national average.¬† If a population is regarded as worthless, then only the most minimal measures will be taken to deal with it; it is easier to separate Romani children into special classes than to develop linguistically and culturally sensitive educational curricula to accommodate their special needs.¬† The media too must play its part.¬† Journalists and newscasters routinely demonstrate their own biases when they editorialize instead of straightforwardly reporting the news; does it really help to repeat the words of a Hungarian skinhead, as a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle did, without also saying something about the effort Romanies in that country are making to establish schools and work programs for themselves?¬† 'Äúthere'Äôs too much of this scum; they screw their sisters and daughters and make children who are too stupid to do anything but steal.'Ä̬† As Asante has said, racist language makes the victim the criminal.¬† The notion that a particular race is inferior to one'Äôs own carries with it an assumption of automatic incompetence on the part of members of that race, and they are then treated accordingly.¬† Obviously Romanies are not incompetent; our very survival in an environment of unrelenting hostility says something about our spirit of determination.¬† Given an equal opportunity, which has only been possible for those people light-complexioned enough to be able to hide their ethnicity, it is clear that we are as hard working and as diligent as anybody else.¬† The very first female professor in the world was of Romani descent'ÄĒI'Äôm referring to Sonja Kovalevsky who began teaching mathematics at Stockholm University in 1884.¬† In the United States, schoolbooks and social studies classes now contain material teaching all American children about the contributions of all Americans; few Europeans are really aware of the contributions our people have made to the world, in music particularly, but in other areas as well.¬† Together with the Association for the Advancement of Democracy through Education, a team of us is preparing educational packages on the Romanies for use in European classrooms.¬† Similar programs are being initiated in France and the Czech Republic.¬† The Project on Ethnic Relations is also preparing a handbook along similar lines.¬† The way to combat racism is through education, and through the close monitoring of, and penalizing of, those countries which fail to take active steps to eradicate it.¬† Democracy has brought with it capitalism, and as a consequence advertising, and the boycotting of companies sponsoring programs which Romanies feel are offensive must also be implemented by vigilant media-watch organizations.¬† But if we ignore the consequences of doing nothing about it, then it will be too late to do anything at all.¬† And whatever negative repercussions will be borne by the Romani population because of antigypsyism, all European populations will be victims too.

If they are in agreement then why is there a range of age presented?
If they are in agreement then why is there a range of age presented?
Age of the Earth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years (4.54 × 109 years ± 1%).[1][2][3] This age is based on evidence from radiometric age dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples. Following the scientific revolution and the development of radiometric age dating, measurements of lead in uranium-rich minerals showed that some were in excess of a billion years old.[4]
The oldest such minerals analyzed to date – small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia – are at least 4.404 billion years old.[5][6][7] Comparing the mass and luminosity of the Sun to the magnitudes of other stars, it appears that the solar system cannot be much older than those rocks. Ca-Al-rich inclusions (inclusions rich in calcium and aluminium) – the oldest known solid constituents within meteorites that are formed within the solar system – are 4.567 billion years old,[8][9] giving an age for the solar system and an upper limit for the age of Earth.
It is hypothesised that the accretion of Earth began soon after the formation of the Ca-Al-rich inclusions and the meteorites. Because the exact accretion time of Earth is not yet known, and the predictions from different accretion models range from a few millions up to about 100 million years, the exact age of Earth is difficult to determine. It is also difficult to determine the exact age of the oldest rocks on Earth, exposed at the surface, as they are aggregates of minerals of possibly different ages.
There appears to be very little arguement about the age of the earth, or how formed etc. But even if there woz a lot of arguement about the age, this would be sort of 1000th on the list of arguements, and sort of 1000th on the list of importance.
The age iz surely wrong by miles, but it will be the reasons for the error that will for sure be important -- the age itself of the earth itself, no big deal.
In a way all such science will be tied up with all such science -- and aetherists like myself know that allmost all standard science, especially einsteinian relativity etc, and quantum mekanix etc, and einsteinian gravity etc, are all kompletely wrong.
This will be a major scientifyk skandal for sure.
And i am surprized that creationists are not circling.
I'm going with 4,538,267,901 years 7 months 23 days 14 hours 56 minutes and 8.09 seconds from right now ... and I challenge anyone to rove me wrong.
The The Holey Bible proovs u wrong.

Marita Noon: Climate change–less of a scientific agenda and more of a political agenda
Throughout the pages of The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science, Ball goes on to show how in attempting to meet the challenge of collapsing an industrialized civilization, CO2 becomes the focus. "Foolishly we've developed global energy policies based on incorrect science promulgated by extremists." Ball concludes: "Because they applied politics to science they perverted the scientific method by proving their hypothesis to predetermine the result." The results? "The sad truth is none of the energy and economic policies triggered by the demonization of CO2 were necessary."Read More »

The best buys for your shopping list—the produce section
The produce section means that whatever you buy from that section of your local grocery, you should be good to go, right?
Fresh fruits and veggies are filled with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants needed to support a healthy body. However, some fruits and veggies are going to give you a better bang to your health for your buck. Buyer beware too, there are a few things you should stay away from in this section.
For instance, some health food imposters include pre-sliced packaged fruit, iceberg lettuce and bottled smoothies.
First, pre-sliced fruit in packages is more expensive than the whole fruit, and its cut edges expose the fruit or veggie to more oxygen, causing it to be at risk for nutrient loss.
Iceberg lettuce is very popular; however, it is the least nutrient-dense lettuce. The darker green and leafier varieties will give you more nutritional bang.
Finally, bottled smoothies are often sweetened with sugar or nutritionally poor juices like apple or pear. They also cost much more than making your own smoothies fresh.
So, the key to shopping the produce section is to make sure that your cart is becoming colored. The more there are different colors of fruits and vegetables in your cart, the more antioxidants and nutrients you are going to get. Here is a list of what to look for in each color group:
—Red. Beets are high in nitrates that help your muscles work more effectively by reducing the amount of oxygen they need. Raspberries have eight grams of fiber in a single cup, which helps you maintain a healthy body weight and digestive system.
—Green. Kale is rich in vitamins C and K and beta-carotene for the eyes.
Avocado is 70 percent monounsaturated fat, making it a heart-healthy food. With seven grams of fiber, it will also fill you up.
—Yellow and orange. Sweet potato has three times your daily need for immune-boosting vitamin A in just one potato. It also keeps energy stores up as a complex carbohydrate.
Mango is high in vitamin C, which can help reduce upper-respiratory infections and help lower your heart rate during exercise. Seventy-five percent of your daily vitamin C requirement can be met with one cup of mango.
—Blue and purple. Eggplant is very low in calories and gives heart-protective qualities with its antioxidant properties.
Plums have antioxidant power like blueberries. Antioxidants are important for preventing muscle tissue damage, assist in exercise recovery and boost immunity.
—White. Bananas provide quick-digesting carbs while providing potassium necessary for muscle contraction. Low levels of potassium have been linked to muscle cramping.
Tofu is a low-fat protein source which is inexpensive. Tofu is commonly added to stir-fry, chili or pasta sauce.

Brothers 13th Show & ShineWritten by on October 28, 2011 Bigger 'N' Better Than Ever
Beyond being only one year away from when The History Channel says the world is going to end, 2011 marks a centennial for both Chevrolet and GMC. For Chevrolet, it's the 100th birthday, and for GMC, it's the 100th anniversary of the GMC logo's first appearance. It's a sure bet over a century ago when both brands were in their infancy, no one in their wildest dreams could have ever imagined the loyal following the trucks would amass. A good example is Brothers Trucks' 13th Annual Show and Shine held each year to thank its customers for their patronage.
The event took place at Canyon RV Park, west of Brothers' Corona, California, headquarters on a 63-acre, tree-lined site along the banks of the Santa Ana River. On July 10, GM truck enthusiasts from all over the western states rolled to meet with each other and show off the improvements they had made to their trucks since last year. The less I write means more room for truck photos, so I'm going to cut this short, and we'll get down to the real nitty-gritty. For information about Brothers 14th Annual Show & Shine, don't go to the History Channel because they'll be toast. Instead, check out www.brotherstrucks.com. CCT
