These three days I'll be enjoying the FtBCon from my desktop, sipping Scotch or Irish whiskey. A lot. Because I like Scotch. And Irish whiskey. I'm pretty much a Scotch and Irish whiskey man, you see. Beer, dull (even when it doesn't taste like piss). White wine, eh. Red wine can be remarkable if it's not crap (and "not crap" does not mean expensive…if you ever pay more than $20 for a standard bottle of wine, you're a dupe…or suffer a needlessly expensive curiosity…it's the label that counts, not the price). American whiskeys (especially bourbons) are mostly too sweet (I've recently been introduced to only one I like, because it happens to taste a lot like Scotch: Basil Hayden's…thank you, Phillip!). Vodka is a mixer (oxymoron intended). Ditto gin. Tequila, when you get the right kind (the kind you have to know to ask for, the kind that doesn't pay for TV commercials). Mixed drinks, sure, whatever. Saphire martini on the rocks, dirty, three olives.
But really, my favorite is Scotch.
For those who don't know, Scotch is a type of whiskey. So if you've ever wondered what the difference was, whiskey is to Scotch as 'mammal' is to 'cat'. Bourbon is another kind of whiskey (usually on the sweet side)…Rye is another kind of whiskey (usually on the bitter side). And so on. Many whiskeys are just named for their land of origin, so Japanese whiskey is just…Japanese whiskey (and yes, there is such a thing…and it's a lot like Scotch). Canadian whiskey is from, you know. Scotch is, you might guess, from Scotland. But that also means it has distinct characteristics according to Scottish brewing traditions, which have become trade law (Wikipedia will get you up to speed).
(And no, there is nothing intrinsically better about "single malt Scotch." Despite the awe depicted for it in film and TV, it's just more expensive and thus "fancier," and some of the best whiskeys just happen to be single malt, often because the more aged the better and some traditionalists think it's criminal to blend decades old brews, but just as a red wine blend can actually be quite excellent if the blender knows what they're doing, and in fact blended reds are becoming quite popular now [for good reason, IMO], blended whiskeys could in principle be good as well. Whether they are or not doesn't matter to me. I don't care whether what I'm drinking is a single malt or a blend. Just as long as I like it. And I didn't pay a zillion dollars for it. For more than you ever wanted to know about Scotch, you can read the articles of Michael Dietsch at Serious Eats.)
When I'm just drinking at home and don't want to burn through anything too expensive, but also don't want to tolerate an awful whiskey (and I don't…ever), I drink Jameson. Which is not a Scotch, because it's brewed in Ireland, so it's (as you guessed) an "Irish whiskey." It's a decent low-end commercial whiskey blend, from a region of the world that knows whiskey old school. Being everywhere, it's affordable in large quantities. It has the barest minimum of what I like in a whiskey, so it will do, sitting on the bottom rung of Plato's ladder from the celestial ideal in the hypothetical mind of God to the lowest worldly imperfection that won't insult your intelligence. A little bit up that ladder is Tallamore Dew, which will often be my preferred bar drink. If they have it.
But what I really like is Scotch. I'll usually like any that are naturally smooth (as opposed to, for example, Laphroaig, which, despite it's outrageous price tag, is shear turpentine…I'd sooner drink jet fuel; if forced to swill it, cut it with a lot of water…BTW, even a good Scotch can become delightfully more aromatic with just a few drops of water, so that's always recommended, but apart from that I like my Scotch neat) and not on the sweet side (so, Macallan, not my favorite).
I'm still exploring the endless options in the Scotch universe. But my top number one favorite Scotch so far is Glenmorangie, which I was just recently introduced to at INR3, and tried again at SSACon Las Vegas just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating how great it was. I wasn't. Second to that is Jura, a lesser known Scotch from an obscure little Scottish island, which a school teacher generously shared with me at Skepticon some years ago (and if you're reading this, give me a shout in the comments!). I've been a fan ever since. It's unusually affordable for its quality. Neither are commonly stocked at bars, however. So I usually have to settle for something less impressive, like a Glenfiddich.
This weekend I'll be breaking out a "Speyside" 20-year single malt Scotch I bought at Costco (under their Kirkland label) for a disturbingly low price. There are speculations as to what actual distillery it comes from (Speyside is a region, not a distiller, encompassing dozens of private labels, including Macallan), but it sounds like it might be a Macallan that's a touch less sweet than usual, something more in the direction of a Glenmorangie. We'll see.
I often philosophize about the excellence of Scotch…and the fact that many people don't get it–it all tastes like turpentine to them, whereas for me there is a universe of difference between whiskey that tastes like gasoline and whiskey that's actually superb. I get the same split over red wine: for some people, it's all bitter bog water that with every sip begs the question of why it even exists; for others, it's a vessel of complex aromas and flavors that startles with its aesthetic complexity. Red wine can take me to another place, with its galaxy of smells and tastes. Good Scotch, too.
Indeed, the taste and feel of good liquor is the only reason to drink it. Getting tipsy or blasted drunk is just a bonus. But IMO, there really isn't any good excuse for getting drunk on lighter fluid when you could do it on something that doesn't taste like urine or turpentine. But wait. Ponder my inclusion of the word "feel" before. Good liquor is aesthetically pleasant to me not just because of the flavors, which really means aromas–like wine, a galaxy of them that radiate from your tongue into your sinuses, filling your nasal cavity, sparking neurons like no tomorrow. It's also how good liquor feels. You'll recall my use of the descriptor "smooth," which you'll hear a lot as describing a good brand. That's that burning sensation liquor creates throughout your mouth, tongue, and especially throat…when it's a pleasant burn, it's smooth; when it feels like you just drank some displeasant acid-like choke-a-goat fire-water, that's not smooth.
When I ponder the possible future technologies of android bodies replacing or standing in for our biological bodies (because, you know, that's the kind of weird thing I think about a lot), I'm often brought back to the question of how the aesthetic experience of whiskey can ever be reproduced. It won't be a straightforward matter of replacing taste buds in the tongue and airborne molecule receptors in the nose. Sure, we could "taste whiskey" in simulated universes (where we don't even need actual bodies to interact with actual whiskey molecules), but to replicate the experience in real-space is not so simple. We could program our nerves to make anything taste like Glenmorangie…even water. Or rat urine. (So we won't have to actually waste resources brewing fine Scotch for future androids.) But that wouldn't be enough. What exactly is involved neurologically (not just in the brain, but, even more importantly, in the mouth and throat) in the felt experience of downing liquor? There is clearly a lot of complex neurophysics and chemistry there. What exactly is going on in the throat after a smooth drink of Scotch?
Something to think about.
I'll just close today with one debunked myth and one word of advice.
First, the myth:
No, silly, alcohol doesn't kill brain cells. That's pseudoscience. If you thought about it (and have learned anything about chemistry and physiology) you'd realize that's impossible (it makes no more sense than power lines causing brain cancer). A drink that regularly killed cells of any kind (especially brain cells) would be an actual poison. I know liquor is sometimes called "poison," but um, no. It's not. In fact, as David Hanson, Ph.D., points out in "Does Drinking Alcohol Kill Brain Cells?," the science is clear that "the moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better cognitive (thinking and reasoning) skills and memory than is abstaining from alcohol," and "drinking doesn't kill brain cells but helps the brain function better into old age." Alcohol still reduces your physical coordination and reaction time, however, which is why it's dangerous to drive even under mild influence. And of course, drinking enough to be visibly "drunk" produces a state of global cognitive impairment. But it still doesn't kill brain cells. You have to abuse alcohol to an extreme degree to suffer health problems from it (like damaging your liver: alcoholic liver disease requires maintaining such a sustained state of inebriation that your liver starts to burn out from the incessant heavy lifting). Drink responsibly. And don't worry about it destroying your skills, memory, or intellect.
Second, the advice:
Anytime you spend the night drinking heavily, chug a tall glass of water before going to bed. Literally, chug the whole thing. Tall glass. Top to bottom. Don't wimp out. Hangovers are just the symptoms of dehydration. Get that water in your system before you hit the sack. Your brain's sleep centers will slow down your kidneys while you doze (SOP for the renal system), and all that water will settle in where it's supposed to go. Then when you get up, you'll have one hell of a pee. And feel a lot less hungover than you otherwise would.
Be excellent to each other. And party on. Smartly.

Politics School for Women
It's hard to tell whether Mala Thao really eats potato chips with such gusto or if it's just part of her act. The women gathered around her want to run for office, and Thao leads a role-playing exercise, teaching the group to coax campaign contributions from busy, distracted voters. A professional fundraiser, poker player, and actress, Thao is a natural to lead the toughest drill of this three-day training camp for women entering politics. In a small conference room at a suburban Minneapolis hotel, she opens an imaginary door to one would-be politician after another. Each woman makes eye contact, extends a hand, and launches into an earnest exposition of her views. As they drone on about education, health insurance, or criminal justice, Thao barely nods, just crunches more energetically on her chips.
After the first six women strike out, another prospect knocks. This one starts casually, with a question about Thao's family. Thao pushes aside the chips and looks up. A few chatty moments later, the candidate strikes pay dirt: She once taught at the same high school from which Thao graduated. A connection is made! Thao writes out a pretend check.
This is just the victory scene envisioned by the organizers behind the session, a national nonpartisan group called the White House Project, which devotes much of its energy to getting more women into the political pipeline. There are dozens of similar groups, some nonpartisan, some Democratic or Republican, some working with candidates who come from the business world, or candidates of a particular ethnicity or those running in a single state. One lesson: how to convert a wish to "change things" or "get involved'' into campaign skills — and money. The Minneapolis hotel scene is the kind that will play out across the country between now and November 4, 2008, when, organizers hope, the best and the brightest women will sweep to victory.
Aren't We There Yet?
You'd think that such concerted efforts would be obsolete by now. With Hillary Rodham Clinton and Nancy Pelosi flexing political muscle in Washington and governors such as Alaska Republican Sarah Palin and Kansas Democrat Kathleen Sebelius making national headlines, women seem to have arrived at their political moment. Many more, most notably Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, are in top policy and appointed positions.
Still, some 40 years after a new wave of feminism spurred women to stake their claim to office, only nine of the nation's 50 governors are women, and women occupy little more than 16 percent of Congressional seats: 16 of 100 in the Senate and 73 of 433 seats in the House (with two seats temporarily vacant). Clinton and Pelosi are making history, but their high profile throws into relief the small number of women who've actually made it. In 2001, the number of women elected to state and local offices (the best national launching pad) actually dropped.
Stanford law professor Deborah Rhode has dubbed it the no-problem problem: If everyone believes that women have power equal to men, no one will try to change the fact that they don't. "The minute you say we've arrived, you start going backward,'' says Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, 49, a Democrat. "We're still traveling.''
Certainly, some women find their way into office without intervention. Pelosi, 67, and Sebelius, 59, grew up in political households. "I always thought that was what families did in the fall — they went door-to-door and put up yard signs," Sebelius says. Some governors and senators entered politics as prosecutors, running for county or state attorney. Republican Martha Rainville, 49, who ran for Congress in Vermont in 2006, is a retired air force major general. She lost her race and took a high-level post at FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Supporters hope she'll run again in 2008.

GABA is the acronym for Gamma Amino Butyric Acid, a neurotransmitter. GABA acts to stop transmission of impulses in vertebrates and invertebrates. It operates at sites in the choloride channel of the nerves in the central nervous system of mammals and throughout the nervous system of insects. Fipronil, type II pyrethroids and some organophosphates can act on various aspects of the GABA receptor.
Genetic Engineering is based on the technology which makes possible the ability to move genetic material (DNA) from one organism (a virus, fungus or animal) to another organism (a plant, animal or bacteria). Totally new life forms can be created by this technology. Thus these novel life forms can be patented.
Glyphosate is released to the environment in its use as a herbicide for controlling woody and herbaceous weeds on forestry, right-of-way, cropped and non-cropped sites. These sites may be around water and in wetlands. EPA has found glyphosate to potentially cause the following health effects from acute exposures at levels above the MCL: congestion of the lungs; increased breathing rate.
Expelling blood from the respiratory tract.
Pertaining to the liver.
Used to kill weeds and other plants that grow where they are not wanted.
Abnormally increased sensitiveness of the skin.

Used to kill insects and other arthropods.
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) defines the standards by which insecticide products must be registered. FIFRA requires that the technical chemicals in a product only be tested on birds, fish, and small mammals, not on trees or other plant life. In addition, the USEPA may waive the requirement for proof of efficacy. Once the technical chemical has fulfilled all requirements, the formulated products which contain that chemical undergo limited acute toxicity testing on laboratory animals as a minimum requirement.
A lethal dose for 50% of the test organisms. The dose of toxicant producing 50% mortality in a population. A value used in presenting mammalian toxicity, usually oral toxicity, expressed as milligrams of toxicant per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg).

Metam sodium is an organosulfur compound (formally a dithiocarbamate), which is used as a soil fumigant, pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide. It is one of the most widely used pesticides in the United States, with approximately 60 million pounds used in 2001. Metam sodium is the sodium salt of methyl dithiocarbamate.
Metolachlor is an organic compound that is widely used as an herbicide. It is a derivative of aniline and is a member of the chloroacetanilide herbicides. It is highly effective toward grasses but its application is also controversial. Metolachlor was developed by Ciba-Geigy. Its acts by inhibition of elongases and of the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) cyclases, which are part of the gibberellin pathway. It is used for grass and broadleaf weed control in corn, soybean, peanuts, sorghum, and cotton. It is also used in combination with other herbicides.

Death of tissue, usually as individual cells, groups of cells, or in small localized areas.
Used to kill nematodes (microscopic, worm-like organisms that feed on plant roots).
A type of chemical weapon with anticholinesterase activity. This is also the mode of action of the organophosphate and carbamate pesticides. For both, the nerve gas and the pesticide, atropine is the antidote.

Pulmonary Edema
An effusion of serous fluid into the air vesicles and interstitial tissue of the lungs.
Synthetic insecticides and nerve toxins belonging to the pyrethroid class must be distinguished from the naturally occurring pyrethrin/pyrethrums isolated from chrysanthemums. Pyrethroids are much more potent, toxic, and significantly more persistent in the environment than are the plant-derived compounds (see Section 2, Overview, Part I-1 Pyrethroids for details). Occasionally, chemical company representatives try to blur this distinction by stating that pyrethroids are derived from the natural pyrethrums, but this is misleading. Pyrethroids are synthesized products designed to be more powerful and longer lasting insecticides than are the pyrethrums, partly because the latter are too easily destroyed by ultraviolet light.

After Midnight Project Interview & Contest!
Posted December 8, 2009 by Rachelle Owen

Tis the season for giving, good times with family and friends, time off from work and school, and really good music. Speaking of good music, if you haven't heard After Midnight Project yet, you're in for an early Christmas present! With insanely catchy songs (check out "Take Me Home") and a live show that boasts high energy, live video, and an intense light show, the band quickly gained notoriety and respect throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Word of mouth quickly paid off, and the band started getting regular rotation on the local radio stations, drawing in the attention of major labels and touring with the likes of Chevelle and our friends Rise Against.
We were lucky enough to catch up with the band when they made a tour stop in PETA HQ's homebase of Norfolk, VA, and the boys shared their thoughts on everything from their animal companions at home to their favorite vegetarian foods.
Check it out…
Great music, a live show that leaves you begging for more, and really sweet dudes—what more can you ask for? Well, I suppose you could ask for the band's debut CD, Let's Build Something to Break for Christmas, and that's why we're giving you a chance to win it! That's right … for your chance to win a copy of After Midnight Project's debut album, Let's Build Something to Break, leave a comment with what you plan on doing to help animals this holiday season. For example, I plan on donating more time to my local animal shelter. The three people with the most unique answers will be chosen and notified on January 5.

Go to Mc(CRUELTY)Donalds dressed as a cow and have a water gun 🙂 and shoot people. When they complain I begin educating them about what all the poor helpless animals (my bffs) go through to get in their bellies. Then run away and hopefully get in the news to spread the word. Wait, will this get me in jail? If yeah then uhm I'll find something else just as awesome :DD

Honestly, charity and love starts at home.
I have 2 dogs, and 2 cats, that Ive rescued and that I treat like they are my children. Ive volunteered at a shelter, and donated my time, but I believe that doing what I can to make sure 4 animals in the world are healthy, happy, and loved is pretty good too.

For th holidays I'm going to get my dog Sugar Bear spayed so that she doesn't get pregnant and so people can adopt animals in need instead of creating more dogs that will have a chance of having a bad life and I would like to prevent that as much as I can. I am also going to try and adopt another pet soon, and finaly I am going to order stuff from peta to give away to people so that more people are aware and know that they aren't by themselves!

I had a completely vegetarian meal for Christmas, actually now that I think about it it was almost 100% vegan. I am going to try my hardest in being vegan, I have been a vegetarian my whole life, but after looking at the "Vegetarian Starter kit" I saw how horrible animals were treated for Dairy products. 🙁 Also, I am trying to tell all my friends about all the vegetarian options out there, because alot of them don't think we eat anything but vegetables (which is SO not the case:) Especially during the Christmas season since we don't eat ham or turkey, but I remind them of the veggie tofurky.

Starting the new year, I pledge and promise myself to become a vegetarian. That is my main New Year resolution that I plan to keep for the rest of my life. I am also going through the application process of volunteering at the local animal shelter so I can help save animals. After that, I will be handing out leaflets at all the cruel local McDonalds in our area with some friends. I plan to advocate peta2 more and convince my family and friends to join in on the mission. I will also convince my family and friends to try vegetarian diets for a change. I also want to hand out stickers and leaflets to all of the people in the neighbordhood and I'm going to give them the URL for "Meat Your Meat."
I write for my local newspaper in a teens journalism program (THE MODESTO BEE) in Modesto, CA. The newspaper has about 400,000+ readers and I just recently wrote an article about the vegetarian teens in the city and the surrounding counties. It hasnt been published but I promise to send the link or URL to the Street Team so they can take a look at it. The article talks about how PETA is making a change in our community with all the statements, videos, and articles available for teens so they can take the pledge to become vegetarians or vegans or just simply help save the animals of the world.
I plan to do a lot this New Year, and I'm pretty sure I can accomplish it. Thanks PETA for making a difference. Happy New Year to all of you!

this year i have convinced my family to go to the new vegetarian restaurant instead of getting food from the ussual places that seem to carry everything with meat, even their salad! I had also got my sister a new eco and animal friendly jacket she said she liked it better then the others she was looking at and went on sites like peta2 to see what other clothes she would like to get.

My plan to help animals more is to hand out leaflets around my town and especially my school. Most kids in my school are unaware of the problems going on with animals and I think they really need to realize what's going on and get involved.

This Holiday season I'm going to love my dogs, I'm going to take them on long walks and groom them and show them I'm there for them. I bought this new pouch for my chihuahua so i can take her on my back and she loves it.
I'm going to make sure my family of 7 continues to eat vegetarian. Our 2 dogs are vegan, so i guess this is a family of 9.
I'm gonna continue to sign petitions,spread the word, and tell my friends how eating meat is uncool.
This may not seem like much but i know that at least 9 people are making a difference!

My mom and I have been takinf care of 7 cats since March until we can find good homes for them. The humane society is always full, so we are taking good care of them until they have room or they can find a good home. Its a lot of work, but we love animals and will keep taking care of them until they are with another loving family. I also am a vegan and give other people around me the info on veganism so they know more about it. Merry Christmas to you and your family plus pets everyone!:)

It's Christmas, the season of giving. Instead of giving, however, most people are taking. This year I want to change that. Instead of getting Christmas gifts for myself, I am asking for cash that I can give to my local animal shelters and rescue homes. I am also going to spend my Christmas break volunteering at the animal shelter instead of sitting around on my computer.

This holiday season i have already donated about 2 weeks or so of my time to the animal shelter, and raised a couple of hundred dollars to them. I am planing on promoting vegitarianism and showing everyone what animals have to go through just for your satisfaction.

I will take those out of the book and put them in an envelope and put those in the mailboxes of the street oposite of the street i am putting the candy cane things in.

Well I just started my new vegetarian diet. I hope that soon with much conditioning I will become vegan XD I am going to hand out pamphlets at my friends work (KFC and Mc'D)and am currently working on banning the dissection of animals at our school! Also I am trying to convert my parents into the healthy wholesome life of a vegetarian! Our family is diabetes prone and I hope this will help them become healthier and more confidently fit. And I am going to table at our schools annual Sadie Hawkins Dance! Many compassionate females will be there with their dates who would do anything for their ladies! 😉

I am planning to cook the best vegetarian Christmas dinner and convince my family to having a cruelty-free Christmas.
I've also recently made the decision to go vegan so there will be a huge option of a variety of meat-free and dairy-free food. That would be the best gift my family could give to me 🙂
I'll be volunteering, as usual, with my local pet rescue centre (a pet is for life people!) and helping humans, as we're all equally important!
Plus, every gift I give is going to be branded with my Peta2 stencils…I'm gonna have a lot of fun this Christmas 😀
2396 days ago

This holiday season, I'm hosting a vegan food drive at my school. ^.^ It's in Fairbanks, Alaska…In case anyone is interested in donating some goods.
And I'm also going to hand out candy canes with peta's "Be Sweet To Animals" ties on them, at the local mall. Apparently there's this new store open, that sells mainly fur. (I personally haven't been inside…but i will. Oh I will. >=] )
I'm going to give them to shoppers outside the store (so we can't get kicked out) with my friends. And we might have some flyers to hand out too. Either way, we're going to cause some mischeif, save some animals, and generate some good ole' bad business for the bad guys.

Recently, a few members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum board drove to Pittsburgh with me for what is now near the top of my list of rock and roll experiences. Local legends Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers hosted a special benefit show for the Greater Pittsburg Community Food Bank with special guest Bruce Springsteen. The concert was held in the 2,000-seat Soldiers and Sailors Hall near the Pitt campus. The venue is more than 100 years old and houses a museum with remarkable collection of artifacts from the Civil War to the present. The hall is stunning, with a balcony on three sides, a very low stage and the entire text of the Gettysburg Address – with 12-inch letters – etched in a formidable block of stone above the stage.
Springsteen took the stage first, noting that he was going to "warm up for Joe." He led off solo acoustic with an early classic from Greetings, "I Came for You,"which sent a jolt of excitement coursing through the mixed-age crowd. He stayed solo for a few more numbers, including "Land of Hope and Dreams" and an incredibly tender version of "I'll Work for Your Love."
Grushecky and the Houserockers then joined Springsteen, who switched to electric guitar. Together, they tore through "Atlantic City," and for the next few hours, took the crowd on a wild ride from Asbury Park to Homestead and points beyond, including their Grammy Award–winning collaboration "Code of Silence," and Springsteen classics from all eras, such as "Promised Land," "Because the Night," "Glory Days," and "Johnny 99." The crowd reached fever pitch when Springsteen, Grushecky and the Houserockers launched into "Waiting on a Sunny Day" from Rising. It was one of my favorite tracks all summer long and from the sound of the crowd, many others felt the same way. Crowd enthusiasm was such that at times Springsteen simply held the microphone to the crowd and let the audience fill in the chorus. He closed the night with the house lights brightly lit. After playing two encore songs with the band, he returned one more time, delivering a stirring solo acoustic version of " Thunder Road."
As a New Jersey native of a certain age, weaned on FM radio, driving big American cars, able to rattle off every Jersey shore town along Route 9 from Red Bank to Cape May, my view is a bit slanted when it comes to The Boss. However, the world needs to know that Grushecky and the Houserockers may be the best band in the land that also have day jobs. If they are in your town, go see them, and track down their CDs. They nailed the tender spots and raised the roof on the rockers. Springsteen and the band reminded us of the power of rock and roll to inspire and unite. As the house lights came up, it was clear that these 2,000 people understood this, and that all believed there was indeed magic in the night – all for a good cause.

Daily experiences are the building blocks of life. The secret to leading a happier life is learning how to control your attention and what it produces each day.
Control makes you happy. Studies show that people who perceive themselves to be in control of their lives are more likely to report that they are happy than those who don't. The additional benefit of this is that being happy increases the odds of success. According to Shawn Achor, Harvard-trained researcher and expert in happiness and human potential: "People who cultivate a positive mindset perform better in the face of challenge." The ability to control your attention means that you can direct your productivity toward the larger, more rewarding goals of your life and achieve happiness.
If you feel like your life is not proceeding according to plan, or if you haven't done some of the things you set out to do, examine the following:
1. Control Your Attention: In today's world, we are constantly distracted by our smartphones, computers and social media accounts. Failing to manage your attention means that you are sabotaging, rather than supporting, your daily productivity and this can ultimately derail your life's goals. Without even realizing it, you might subconsciously give in to the external noise and find yourself years later on a path that you did not intend to take. Make the effort to manage all of the constant and increasing demands on your attention, because it can influence your happiness.
2. Be Proactive, Not Reactive: Control can be defined as "command or mastery." The opposite of that is helplessness and powerlessness. When you are reacting, you are relinquishing control. For instance, being immersed in email usually means spending more time working on other people's goals rather than your own. Your main objective should be to achieve results that have significance to you. To do that, you need to spend more time being proactive, and less time being reactive.
3. Create Positive Habits: Some habits in your life are positive, but it is important to identify those that sabotage your personal productivity and change them. The key point is that you cannot change a habit until you have a substitute behavior. To create more positive habits, engage in activities that cause you to reflect on your existing habits, like tracking all of your time for a few days or a week. Then see if the way you actually operate is likely to help you achieve your goals, or hinder your progress toward those goals. For example, you may be surprised at how often you switch tasks or how much time you really spend in email or social media.
The object of your attention every hour, every minute, and every second creates personal experiences, which in turn determine your life. Controlling your attention means more often choosing what to attend to. There are many things in this world that you cannot control, but your own attention should not be one of them. The bottom line: If you don't control your attention, you don't control your life.

|Colleen Williams Cozzetto
Colleen Cozzetto was a top hurdler for the Idaho women's track and field team from 1979-82. She was the 1982 AIAW Divison II national champion in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles and was a Division I All-American in the event. She also ran on Idaho's 1982 All-American 4x400-meter relay team. Her efforts helped Idaho earn a national runner-up finish in AIAW Division II in 1982. She also helped the 1982 Vandal women earn a Mountain West Athletic Conference title in cross country. Her 1982 school record in the 400-meter hurdles is the second-oldest active women's track and field school record and it figures to be that way for a while. In 26 years, no other Vandal woman has come close to Cozzetto's time of 57.7 in the one-lap race. Her former record of 14.23 in the 100-meter hurdles still ranks seventh today.

ZF-2567: The commited patch break Oracle9i connections
The commited patch breaks connections to Oracle9i using the standard client. It seems that the (PORT=nnnn) MUST be present otherwise, the client throws an "Invalid ADDRESS" error.
The workaround is trivial: either specify the oracle port (1521 by default)
The proposed patch is also very simple, it just adds the port number.

Clearly today's air travelers don't dress up as they used to; jeans, or even sweats, are much more frequently worn on an airplane than suits and ties these days. But can an airline tell you what you can and can't wear? Well, yeah, pretty much, the Associated Press reports.
In light of recent reports of passengers who were booted from planes because of their attire (such as overly baggy pants, too much cleavage and obscene or political messages on T-shirts), folks are wondering if free-speech rules apply in the air. The quick answer: Planes are private property, so airline officials are "within their rights to make the passengers change shirts even if messages are political," First Amendment attorney Joe Larsen tells the news service.
"It's like any service business," aviation lawyer Kenneth Quinn adds. "If you run a family restaurant and somebody is swearing, you kindly ask them to leave."
Do you think it's fair to kick a passenger off a flight for showing too much skin or wearing a T-shirt with curse words? Or should folks be able to wear what they want, when they want? Leave a comment below!

A Wilmington man died Wednesday morning from injuries sustained in a Sunday wreck, an official said.
Lindsey Aaron Mathis, 26, was injured about 10:30 a.m. Sunday, when he changed lanes on his moped in front of an oncoming pickup truck in the 1000 block of Third Street, said Linda Rawley, Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman.
Rawley said Mathis was wearing a Department of Transportation-approved helmet, but it was not properly secured and came off during the crash.
This is the ninth motor vehicle death within the city of Wilmington this year.

When are you forbidden from making a Brocha Rishona on a food item,and obligated to make a Bracha Achrona after eating it?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Obviously, but probably not what you wanted: most food during a meal. They don't require a Brocho Rishonah, and definitely require a Bracha Achronah.
Otherwise, something keeps nagging at my brain like I know it, but just can't place it.
The earlier answers may be right but not what i was looking for.
The Mishna Berurah in Siman 196 s"k 4 says that if you steal wheat and grind it into flour, although he is required to return it. Hallachicly he is its new owner, nevertheless he may not, make a brocha on food produced from that stolen wheat.The reason for this is based in the concept of "Ein zeh Mevareich elah menaeitz"(he's not blessing, rather he is being disgusting). This concept is only true for Brocha Rishona; as far as the Bracha achrona is concerned, if one made bread out of stolen wheat and ate to the point of satiation, since he's now obligated from the Torah to say Birkas Hamazon, he is not absolved of his obligation, and he still has too 'bentch'.
I don't know, but, as a guess, something that must be eaten immediately to save a life (e.g., of someone starving).


text: The Cleveland installment of the 2013 EMP Pop Conference, EMP.CLE, took place at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and at the Museum's Library and Archives April 19–20, 2013. We explored how listeners, performers, music industry professionals, scholars, and aficionados evaluate and select from the fluid soundscapes of pop music as it comes apart at the seams. As the world generates new modes of listening and sharing music, how do we map traditional and/or forge new organizational structures on consumption and appreciation? We considered the value of list-making, curating and canon-making within a musical space that can be molded by each individual listener and evaluate the role of tastemakers in these new dynamics. Topics included pedagogy; club booking and live series; institutional canon-making, such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and EMP; and list-making.

Yesterday was a historic day in Canadian monetary history, as the mint stopped distributing pennies. As expected, this sparked a debate in some mainstream media outlets in these United States as to whether it was time for us to do the same.
I have been interested in the metal content of U.S. coins for many years. Basically, ever since I discovered that pre-1965 dimes and quarters are actually 90% silver. As soon as I understood the implications of this, I chastised my dad for not saving every coin he could find (fortunately my grandmother did save some). I quickly became aware of the fact that pre-1982 pennies are 95% copper, and therefore worth quite a bit more than one cent (2.5 cents at today's copper price). They are still relatively easy to find in change and I have been putting them aside ever since.
Some smart people in the financial world have publicly stated they are now hoarding nickels, as well as some personal friends of mine. Even the 2013 nickel is actually worth more than five cents (only slightly more at 5.5 cents), but I am keeping a close watch. At some point, I will probably start keeping these as well. I'm just waiting for a signal, perhaps something like the U.S. eliminating the penny…
My favorite site for real time values of U.S. coins based on their metal content is coinflation.com

Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionInput for the Compilation Document of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development This input to the compilation of views realized in the preparation of the outcome document of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development is submitted on behalf of the Co-ordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS). CCIVS represents over 160 International Voluntary Service organisations and networks from all over the world: Asia, Africa, America and Europe. CCIVS has been working in partnership with UN agencies since its creation in 1948, and particularly with the UNESCO and the UNV, with whom diverse levels of successful cooperation have been achieved. The action of International Voluntary Service all over the world is developped in thousands of communities and with tens of thousands of volunteers every year. Their contribution to sustainable development starts from a vision of a world in peace, where human beings live as active and solidary citizens taking care of their environment, cultural heritage and diversity within the principles of mutual understanding and respect. Voluntary Service actions, based on the importance of local participation, development of civil society, non-formal education and global coordination, adress environmental, social, educational and cultural challenges through voluntary work, complemented by global campaigns that give support and visibility to the local actions. Volunteers Organizations play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development and address social issues at all levels, raising awareness and mobilizing public support, as well as supporting the implementation of concrete solutions. Our organizations are committed to contribute further to environmental sustainability and poverty eradication and we are willing to take actively part to a renewed global partnership for sustainable development. The important contribution of volunteers organizations was already recognized in 1984 by the World Commission on Environment and Development which identified in its mandate to the urgent need to ?to raise the level of understanding and commitment to action on the part of individuals, voluntary organizations (?)? (Mandate of the World Commission on Environment and Development). Agenda 21 recognized in 1992 the important contribution of volunteers organizations in ?efforts to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for low-income families?, in the context of urban development (Agenda 21, Chapter 7). The Johannesburg Plan of Implementation of the World Summit for Sustainable Development further recognized the importance to secure funding through all available sources in order to ?provide all community members with a wide range of formal and non-formal continuing educational opportunities, including volunteer community service programmes, in order to end illiteracy and emphasize the importance of lifelong learning and promote sustainable development? (WSSD Plan of Implementation, para. 123). It also expressed the commitment of all countries to ?enhance partnerships between governmental and non-governmental actors, including all major groups, as well as volunteer groups, on programmes and activities for the achievement of sustainable development at all levels? (para.168). In the context of a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, we call governments to recognize in the outcome document of the Rio Conference the specific importance of volunteering. We call governments to identify a set of concrete actions to promote the values of volunteerism and create a supportive environment enhancing the ability of volunteer organizations to contribute to sustainable development. International institutions should also renew their commitment in order to create favorable conditions for the extension of voluntarism. International institutions should further promote and raise awareness about the benefits of engaging civic engagement and support international cooperation in this field. We also call these institutions to work in closer cooperation with voluntary organizations in the design and implementation of their policies in order to increase the mutual benefits resulting from such cooperation. Governments and UN institutions should review the implementation, exchange best practices and elaborate a plan of action to ensure the effective implementation of the Recommendations on support to voluntarism adopted by the UN General Assembly (Resolution 56/38), as well as the commitments adopted in the UN General Assembly Resolution on Further initiatives for social development (Resolution S-24/2).
