Climategate Leaked Email HighlightsMarch 16, 2015
Here are just a few highlights from the leaked climate emails from IPCC, Phil Jones, John Daly, […]
First let me say that I am supportive of legitimate civil disobedience and it is a great way to bring about peaceful change.
This past years Occupy Wall Street was an example of civil disobedience although the message was somewhat lost on me. That is, there were several messages being pushed at the same time and it became hard to get one clear cause.
Some were protesting corporate greed.
Some were protesting government bailouts.
Some were calling for more government involvement in the markets.
The movement seemed to begin with libertarians but then got cooped by the tea-party. The republican party wanted their piece of the pie and then socialists moved in and claimed a piece of the movement as well.
Co-opting of movements is in fact a very good public relations strategy to deflect and dilute an uprising. Keep that in mind should you ever need to disband a movement.
That however is a topic for another podcast.
Specifically I want to cover the foundation of a civil disobedience movement and look at some of the tactics and messages used.
You will be listening to 3 different audio clips referenced from various sources online for educational purposes. By way of a disclaimer, I have not fact checked all the claims made in these clips and I am in no way providing legal advice, endorsements or recommendations. The use of these clips is to demonstrate the use of language in various contexts and for various purposes.
My goal is to get you to think differently about the words a government gives you and to ask for questions and definitions.
The first audio clip is a lecture by Walter Wink, a biblical scholar, theologian, and activist who was an important figure in Progressive Christianity. Wink covers the Jesus' teaching at the Sermon on the Mount and brings a perspective that you don't often hear regarding the phrase "turn the other cheek".
His interpretation is one of civil disobedience.
When this biblical passage is taken in context of the times it was written, you see a much different picture of Christians. Wink illustrates how social norms and Roman law were turned on their head by Jesus. This alternate perspective will change how you view Christianity and biblical teaching.
Additionally, Wink points out how the word "resist not evil" has been intentionally mistranslated.
Quoting Wink, "When the court translators working in the hire of King James chose to translate antistenai as "Resist not evil," they were doing something more than rendering Greek into English. They were translating nonviolent resistance into docility. The Greek word means more than simply to "stand against" or "resist." It means to resist violently, to revolt or rebel, to engage in an insurrection"
Jesus was teaching the Jews not to respond violently. This is logical as they would clearly be over powered by the Roman Army. The case he makes in the audio, is that Jesus offers his followers an alternative 3rd way
Has you will hear, King James, in part, authorized the translation of the Bible to English to help prevent insurrection.
So you can see that message manipulation dates back to 1611 when the King James translation was complete.
The next clip is from the School Sucks Podcast episode 104, Discovering Doublespeak.
Brett Veinotte interviews Marc Stevens of the No State Project and covers the topic of legal jargon and how it's designed to confuse. Marc discusses how this jargon can be turned against itself within the legal system in a peaceful, non threatening way. I am not recommending to you adopt Marc's approach but only consider the logic behind his approach and apply to other places in your own life.
Please check out Brett's podcast he does an amazing job at consistently providing quality content.
Finally we end with Alfred Adask who covers his personal legal adventures in his lectured titled Man or Other Animals. Adask approaches his case from a Christian perspective which is important to note while listening. His legal case centers on the wording in a law that states "man OR other animals".
He takes you on a historical journey through the definition of "man" and what it is to be a sovereign person. He builds his case around how it was once only kings that were endowed by God with sovereign rights and how radical the Constitution was by giving all men the rights of kings.
It's an interesting conversation however we're not sure what the legal conclusion was on his matter.
I have included this clip to demonstrate a modern day example of what Walter Wink covers in his lecture. Namely the demand to be treated as an equal human with dignity and rights as a human.
Final Word of Warning:
The intent of civil disobedience outlined here isn't to get out of traffic tickets, IRS audits or law suits. In fact, while you might win a moral war, there is pretty much a guarantee you will probably lose in the eyes of the law with these tactics. Wink points this out in his lecture at the beginning. One person demanding respect from a government does little to change anything. The problem for governments is when the masses start to act out in a certain way.
From a Brand No standpoint these audio clips are to educate you about how prolific logical fallacies are in society. They are not just used in marketing and PR but in the very structure of government and throughout history. Additionally we look at how the jargon of others can be used to an advantage. How King James intentionally wanted a passive interpretation of the Bible to keep control over the people.
I hope that the take away is that you will strengthen your critical thinking as you move through your day and ask as many questions as possible of the messages put in front of you.

A new report suggests more than 35 million people around the world are living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia.
The World Alzheimer Report is the most in-depth attempt yet to assess the brain-destroying illness -- and it's an ominous forecast as the population grays.
The new count is about 10 percent higher than what scientists had predicted just a few years ago, because earlier research underestimated Alzheimer's growing impact in developing countries.
Barring a medical breakthrough, the report projects dementia will nearly double every 20 years. The report concludes that by 2050, it will affect a staggering 115.4 million people.
While age is the biggest driver of Alzheimer's, some of the same factors that trigger heart disease -- obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes -- seem to increase the risk of dementia, too. Those are problems also on the rise in many developing countries. The report was released by Alzheimer's Disease International.

Over the past few years Twitter has become an essential part of a company's social media marketing strategy. And with this comes the necessity of effectively participating on the site.
First, though, your Twitter profile has to be effective. And this means demonstrating that there are real people behind a company's brand.
Some large companies handle this by including on their Twitter background the names of the different people who tweet for the company along with each person's initials. Then when someone from that company responds in a tweet, he or she uses his or her initials. In other words, a specific person is tweeting.
Other companies have designated people tweeting for the company and include that information in the Twitter bio. Again, there are real people behind the tweets.
What happens when there are no names of people on a company's Twitter profile?
It is offputting for people to engage with a personless company on Twitter. People on Twitter are there to share information with other people. If you have no people on your Twitter profile, with whom are others engaging?
On other social media sites, such as Facebook Pages (not Facebook profiles), it is not as necessary to know with whom you are interacting. This is partly because, for example, Facebook Pages do not encourage the same type of relationship sharing as Twitter does.
If you have a company Twitter account with no specific people mentioned on the account, consider how you can change this in order to encourage Twitter users to interact with real people on your Twitter account.

Tony Monaco: Slow Down Sagg
Slow Down Sagg
Tony Monaco (organ)
Live At The Orbit Room (Chicken Coup 7021)
Tony Monaco (organ),
Ted Quinlan (guitar), Vito Rezza (drums).
Composed by Jimmy Smith.
Recorded: Orbit Room, Toronto, June 22, 2007
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
When organ wizard Tony Monaco plays live with his Toronto Trio, the audience shares in the energy as the musicians on stage let loose. The Jimmy Smith tune used here is a model of simplicity, and Vito Rezza's funky drums get the jam get going quickly and keep it burning on a wide-open groove. Guitarist Ted Quinlan offers up slices of soulful, hard-swinging blues phrases. Soon Monaco takes a vigorous, no-holds-barred solo, with distortion and some pitch-bending effects close to the end. When the fun is over, a club member's disoriented gaze might happen on his or her neighbor, only to ask "What just happened? Where am I? Why am I covered in sweat?"

After more than 20 years, Mesa finally has enough money to begin work on an architectural park at the Mesa Grande ruins.
A $100,000 grant from the Arizona Historic Preservation Heritage Fund, coupled with a previous $150,000 from Indian gaming money, will allow the public to begin touring the ruins as early as next year.
Tom Wilson, director of the city-owned Museum of Natural History, said last spring the first $150,000, courtesy of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was spent for site planning and digital mapping of the fragile west Mesa spot.
The new grant will complete Phase 1 of the project, which includes interpretive signage, shade canopies, walkways and structures to stop erosion of the centuries-old ruins.
"The goal is to provide the necessary public facilities to allow for the site to be opened to the general public for tours upon completion," Johann Zietsman, Mesa's arts and cultural director, told the City Council in a memo.
Long-range goals include an enclosed museum, but there's no money for that now. Zietsman said existing staff and volunteers from the museum would operate and maintain the new attraction, creating no further strain on city finances.
The 6-acre site at 10th Street and Brown Road was once owned by Acquanetta, a Valley show-biz personality who had gained a measure of fame as a B-movie actress in the 1940s.
Mesa paid $1.1 million for the land across from the former Banner Mesa Medical Center, but it was hardly a smooth transaction.
Acquanetta and her husband, Jack Ross, had purchased the ruins in 1972 from an archaeologist who mapped and began excavating the site. The 1972 deed stipulated that "the ruins shall be essentially preserved." Acquanetta later obtained sole title in a divorce settlement.
In the mid-1980s, Mesa became increasingly concerned that the ruins could be sold to developers who wouldn't be bound to the previous deed restriction. As Mesa threatened to use eminent domain to acquire the site, the city and Acquanetta haggled for a year and a half before agreeing on the price.
But since then, Mesa has had no money for anything other than a fence around what some archaeologists believe is a 900-year-old temple and "city hall" for the Valley's ancient Hohokam culture. It's believed the site was occupied until the 1400s.

Medical Marijuana Caregiver - Montana
Voters in the State of Montana approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes in 2004 and were asked to vote on another medical marijuana issue entitled "Initiative Referendum No. 124" during the 2012 election process, which served to clarify some of the issues involved in the 2004 legislation.
The Initiative language reads as follows:
"In 2004, Montana voters approved I-14, creating a medical marijuana program for patients with debilitating medical conditions. Senate Bill 423, passed by the 2012 Legislature, repeals I-148 and enacts a new medical marijuana program, which includes: permitting patients to grow marijuana or designate a provider, limiting each marijuana provider to three patients; prohibiting marijuana providers from accepting anything of value in exchange for services or products; granting local governments authority to regulate marijuana providers; establishing specific standards for demonstrating chronic pain; and reviewing the practices of doctors who certify marijuana use for 25 or more patients in a 12-month period."
The Initiative passed with 57.25% of votes cast in favor and 42.75% of votes cast against the medical marijuana Initiative. Since voters in the State of Montana had already approved a system of administering marijuana to patients with qualifying debilitating medical conditions, there will likely be no fiscal impact on the State of Montana by passage of Initiative 124!
SUMMARY: On November 2, 2004, sixty-two percent (62%) of Montana voters approved Initiative 148 and it became effective on the same day. The law removed Montana state-level criminal penalties for the possession, use and cultivation of marijuana by qualified Patients who have written documentation from their doctors recommending the use of medical marijuana. People diagnosed with any of the following medical conditions are legally protected from criminal prosecution for possession or use of marijuana under this act: cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe or chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures (including but not limited to those caused by epilepsy), or severe and persistent muscle spasms (including but not limited to those caused by multiple sclerosis) or Crohn's disease. The law provides that medical marijuana Patients (or their Primary Caregivers) are allowed to legally be in possession of up to six (6) marijuana plants. The Montana law also established a confidential, state-run medical marijuana Patient registry that issues identification cards to qualified patients. Patients who have a valid medical marijuana registry card from another state which allows the use of medical marijuana will be recognized in
this state, as long as they comply with the quantity limits imposed on medical marijuana Patients in this state.
RECIPROCITY: Montana's medical marijuana policy authorizes qualified Patients (who are in possession of a registry identification card or its equivalent from their home state that allows for medical use of marijuana) to engage in the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes while in Montana. It also allows a person to assist a qualified Patient with his or her medical use of marijuana while in the State of Montana. See Mont. Code Ann. §50-46-201(8) (2009).
AMENDMENTS: On May 14, 2011, Montana's medical marijuana law was amended via Senate Bill 423 and the amendments were to become effective on July 1, 2011 and included the following changes:
A summary of the primary provisions of Montana's SB 423 can be seen by clicking here and the full measure can be viewed online by clicking here. Some of the provisions of Montana's SB 423 are being litigated in court at the present time. .
MEDICAL MARIJUANA STATUTES: The statute regarding Montana's medical marijuana laws is the Montana Medical Marijuana Act, Mont. Code Ann. §§50-46-1 to 50-46-2 (2007).

Caution! Only give your mom this Debbie Downer Mother's Day Card ($4) by Seas and Peas if she's got a stellar sense of humor (and you know, has seen and chuckled at SNL's Debbie Downer skits). You may find it hilarious, but if she doesn't, it could sink her into a deep depression to think about how fleeting this life really is. Seriously, any one of us could drop dead from an undiagnosed disease or get caught in a natural disaster at any moment (it is hurricane season, after all). Wah-wah.

Sunday June 15, 2014: Sleep late and spend the rest of the morning puttering around your house and processing the "stuff" that happened over the past week (Moon Void of Course in Capricorn until 1:28 pm EDT when she enters Aquarius).
As the day progresses spend some time thinking about the connection between responsibility and freedom. Acting responsibly always comes before freedom... And being free always comes with responsibilities. True freedom is inseparable from responsibility. Which means if you're feeling the urge break free from any claustrophobic situation you must first choose to be responsible for yourself and aware of your limits and boundaries. Keep in mind that without responsibility "freedom breeds uncertainty... and uncertainty invites chaos".
For example: A loving parent might restrict their child to the back yard to play. If the child acts responsibly and stays within the given boundaries, she is given more freedom and allowed to go next door to play... but... more freedom means continuing to be responsible by honoring her new restrictions and boundaries. If the child continues to act responsibly, she's soon given the freedom to cross the street and play with her friends. As the process continues the child will grow up to be an adult whose has learned that true freedom comes with being responsible for her actions and aware of the her boundaries.
Today's Quote
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect. Eleanor Roosevelt

The process of formally selecting the members of the 2014 U.S. Olympic figure skating team will begin in earnest as the pairs and ladies, including the heavily favored Ashley Wagner, hit the ice Jan. 9 to take part in the first round of senior-level competition at the U.S. national championships in Boston.
Reigning U.S. pairs champions Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir will go head to head with 2012 national champs Caydee Denny and John Coughlin, who skipped the 2013 event because Coughlin was injured, for the pairs gold. The two teams are heavy front runners to take the two available berths in Sochi, but a strong performance by reigning U.S. silver medalists Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierem could earn them a surprise spot on the team. The pairs short programs will begin at 4:15 p.m. Eastern time on Jan. 9.
After the pairs finish their short programs, the ladies, headlined by two-time national champion and reigning Grand Prix Final bronze medalist Wagner, will hit the ice to perform their short routines. Wagner, who narrowly missed a trip to the 2010 Olympic Games after finishing third behind Rachael Flatt and Mirai Nagasu at the 2010 nationals, is expected to claim one of the three available spots on the Sochi women's team. Although she called not making the Vancouver squad "absolutely devastating," Wagner said in a recent interview that she'd "taken all the thoughtful steps to get" to Sochi, and that she planned ease the stress of competing at nationals by viewing it as just "another day at the rink."
Also likely to make the Olympic team is 18-year old Gracie Gold, who placed sixth at worlds in 2013. Gold and Wagner, who placed just ahead of her in fifth, secured the U.S. three spots at the 2014 Olympics. The third berth could go to one of several talented ladies, including Nagasu, Flatt, 2013 Ice Challenge gold medalist Courtney Hicks, or reigning U.S. bronze medalist Agnes Zawadzki. The ladies' short programs will begin at 7 p.m. following the event's opening ceremonies.
The 2014 U.S. Olympic figure skating team will be officially announced on Jan. 12 following the conclusion of the 2014 national championships.

A nice accessory for my Kindle Fire and iPad,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: AmazonBasics Stylus for Touchscreen Devices Including Kindle Fire HD 8.9-Inch, Kindle Fire HD 7-Inch, Kindle Fire, Apple iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 (Personal Computers)
I never really needed a stylus for my iPad 1, since the screen was pretty big, and even my fumble-fingers could operate the virtual keyboard. With my Kindle Fire, however, it's a different story. I can use the keyboard, but I make too many mistakes while typing. When someone on Kindle Boards recommended the AmazonBasics Stylus, I decided to give it a try.
After using it for a while, I like the stylus. I don't really need it for most apps, but for typing emails or anything that requires typing on the virtual keyboard, it's invaluable. It's even more helpful for clicking links in the Kindle Fire's web browser. Also - and this is a big plus - the stylus tip glides over the screen very smoothly, making it a valuable tool in drawing apps.
The stylus also works well on my iPad 1.
I like the size and heft of the stylus. It's about 4� inches long by slightly less than 1/3 inch in diameter. The weight is about a half ounce (I'm estimating). The stylus pad is rounded and is very soft. The other end has a replaceable lanyard about 2� inches long.
I agree with other reviewers that the stylus should have a pocket clip on the end, but this wasn't a deal-breaker for me. The benefits outweigh the minor deficiencies.
And thank you, Amazon, for the frustration-free packaging.
UPDATE April 3, 2013: I see that the stylus now features a pocket clip, and the price is much less than it cost when I purchased it in 2011. That makes this a much more useful stylus at a very attractive price.

Chase Bank, a subsidiary of JP Morgan Chase, is closing the bank accounts of porn stars, Fox News reported Monday.
"A bank has got hundreds of porn stars hot and fired up after writing to them to tell them their bank accounts would be closed," the report explains.
"I called them and they told me that because I am, I guess, public and am recognizable in the adult business, they're closing my account," porn star Teagan Presley reportedly told XBiz News.
Ordinarily, that would hardly be a concern of gun rights activists, except to note that discrimination against free choices, even those we may not agree with, leads to an inescapable Martin Niemöller realization that goes to the heart of why we own guns in the first place. And in this case, there's a direct tie-in with "our" issue. As this column reported, JP Morgan offered Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives figure William McMahon, a key decision-maker in the Operation Fast and Furious "gunwalking" criminal enterprise, the opportunity to "double dip" while awaiting retirement (and no, that's not an adult film industry term).
Why would they do that?
"J.P.Morgan has ATF's credit card account," one source contacting this correspondent volunteered.
"I am looking at my card right now," another source replied. "On the back, 'The use of this card is governed by the cardholder agreement. This card is issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. pursuant to a license by MasterCard International.'"
"In June 2007, the Office of Charge Card Management awarded the GSA SmartPay® 2 master contracts to Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, and U.S. Bank," the General Services Administration website confirmed.
St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner Kurt Hofmann then informed his readers that JP Morgan Chase terminated the account of the Wiki Weapon Project's company, Defense Distributed "without warning or explanation."
Additionally, a related concern corroborating politically-motivated economic discrimination against legal businesses has surfaced. Kit Daniels at Infowars is reporting Eric Holder's Department of Justice is now pressuring banks to refuse service to gun stores under the auspices of "Operation Choke Point." That's a DOJ joint venture of sorts with the Federal Trade Commission and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, intended to stop fraud, but apparently lending itself to untold manipulation for political ends. That's resulted in serious questions about those unfairly choked, to the point that House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, who also conducted the Fast and Furious hearings, has "argued that the DOJ is exercising prior restraint; that it's preventing businesses from functioning even when they haven't been proven by law to be doing anything wrong."
"DOJ's 'Operation Choke Point' May Be Root of Porn Star Bank Account Closings," Reason.com reported, adding further circumstantial speculation suggesting government manipulation behind what at first appear to be business decisions.
What's unclear at this point, particularly if JP Morgan Chase really did disassociate itself from sex industry performers over concerns of what they do, is if the bank will also now shut off the card for ATF Houston Director of Industry Operations Russell Vanderwerf, arrested in a Metairie hotel after deputies discovered "The door had ... a circular hole padded with duct tape. The ... hole appeared to be used in some sort of sexual act [and a] front-desk staffer told authorities that she'd received a complaint from a hotel guest who said the door to that room had been propped open on the night of Nov. 30 and that she noticed several 'young men' entering and exiting. The guest also complained of hearing 'sex noises' coming from the room."
The smart money says the noises probably weren't coming from a pay-per-view Teagan Presley movie on TV, charged to the JP Morgan Chase card DIO Vanderwerf paid for his hotel room with.
UPDATE: See Part Two, "Comparing guns to porn poses greater danger than just financial ostracism."

Tomatoes grow on vines that, with good care, will flourish in your garden nicely and reward you with a lovely batch of organic fruit. Just be sure to follow these tips to avoid a tomatoey mess in your yard.
First, allow enough space for your tomato vines to spread and grow freely. Plant sets of tomato seeds, spaced about a foot apart, in dense, good soil. On this first planting, add a fertilizer, such as a store-bought organic fertilizer or compost, or mix your own home compost.
Ample watering is key. From seedlings, water your tomato plants each day, preferably in the morning so the sun can interact with the moist ground and provide good nourishment. Watering too late in the day or at night can run the risk of overly soaking plants, causing them to weaken and not grow.
As your vines begin to grow, cover the dirt with a thin layer of mulch periodically, which gives the soil and plants a firmer foundation. Also, be on the look out for gnarly visitors. Various insects may begin to flock to your new plants to take up residence and chew them away. So, keep a spray bottle containing one part vinegar (organic apple cider vinegar recommended) to eight parts water to spray over your plants every day.
Next, be prepared to raise the vines on stakes to keep them organized and not all tangled together. Also, if you have a lot of vines, make rows so you can easily walk among your vines without crushing your plants.
Finally, channel love and keep an eye on how your tomato plants are developing. Ask a professional at a home and garden center any questions to ensure that your plants yield perfect fruits.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Junior Mackenzie Camp (Mapleton, Ill./Limestone) tossed a complete-game three-hit shutout and also earned a save, while sophomore Madeline Lynch-Crumrine (Sedro-Woolley, Wash./Sedro-Woolley) earned a victory and drove in four runs as the duo helped Bradley sweep a doubleheader from Southern Illinois Saturday afternoon at Laura Bradley Park.
The Braves took the opener 6-4, before Camp's three-hit shutout helped power the Braves to a 4-0 victory in the nightcap. The shutout was the first for Bradley (21-28 overall, 11-14 MVC) in the series with the Salukis since 2001 and BU has won the regular-season series from SIU for the first time since sweeping a doubleheader in 2000. Bradley's 4-0 victory in the second game is the largest margin of victory for the Braves in the series since 1989.
Both Bradley hurlers took no-hit bids into the fifth before surrendering singles and combined to hold the top hitting team in the Missouri Valley Conference to just eight hits and a .160 batting average on the day. SIU (33-19 overall, 15-10 MVC) entered the weekend with a league-best .296 batting average.
Lynch-Crumrine got things started for the Braves in the bottom of the third in the opener. Bradley loaded the bases when sophomore Bailiegh Basham (Mattoon, Ill./Mattoon/Lake Land C.C.) was hit by pitch following singles by Alison Kresl (Kankakee, Ill./Bishop McNamara) and Jackie Roth (Hickory Hills, Ill./Stagg). Lynch-Crumrine, who was 0-for-7 on the year with the bases loaded, ripped a two-out bases loaded double to left to drive in three runs as the Braves took a 3-0 lead.
Southern Illinois capitalized on a BU error in the fifth and Meredith Wilson tallied the first hit of the day for the Salukis with a two-out double to left center as she drove in Allie VadeBoncouer to trim the Bradley advantage to 3-1.
Bradley pushed two more runs across in the bottom of the fifth, scoring runs on bunt singles by Roth and Basham to push the advantage to 5-1.
A two-run double off the bat of Hayley Gorman in the top of the sixth and run-scoring single by Taylor Orsburn later in the inning, highlighted a three-run sixth for SIU as the Salukis pulled within a run at 5-4. The Braves answered with a run in bottom half of the frame, however, with Kresl ripping a double down the left field line to plate pinch runner Brianne Joseph (Post Falls, Idaho/Post Falls) and give Bradley a 6-4 lead.
Lynch-Crumrine retired the first two batters in the seventh, before hitting Mallory Duran with a pitch, and Camp retired Kelsea Ashton in relief to close out the win. Lynch-Crumrine scattered five hits and four runs (three earned) over six-and-two-third innings to improve to 11-17, while Camp earned her second save of the year.
Bradley scored single runs in each of the first four innings of the second game and Camp pitched around walks in the first and second inning to take a no-hitter into the fifth.
Roth had a bloop single in the bottom of the first and was at third after a stolen base and wild pitch. Basham drew a walk to put runners at the corners and Lynch-Crumrine drove in her fourth run of the day when she hit into a fielder's choice to plate Roth with the first run of the contest.
Sophomore Alex Chandler (Needles, Calif./Needles) led off the second with a double and beat a throw home from third on a bunt by freshman Shannon King (San Jose, Calif./Archbishop Mitty) to give the Braves a 2-0 lead.
In the third, senior Julie Sherman (Hickory Hills, Ill./Stagg) led things off with an infield single and later scored on a Basham single through the right side and the Braves took a 4-0 lead in the fourth after Chandler had another leadoff double. With Chandler at third after a sacrifice bunt, King drove in her second run of the game with a single to right to cap a 3-for-5 day at the plate.
Camp gave up singles in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings as she cruised to the victory to improve to 8-10 on the year. She collected six strikeouts and walked just two in her team-best third complete-game shutout of the year.
Bradley and Southern Illinois close out the regular season Sunday with a single game at noon at Laura Bradley Park. BU's seniors will be recognized in a pre-game ceremony at approximately 11:45 a.m.

Gerald Biddle on his Motorcycle, 1960s
Without question, no one commanded more respect on a motorcyle in his day. I was so proud to point him out as he blew past me on Main Street as I yelled to my friends "that's my uncle".
His motorcycle club was the "Crazy Pharoahs" and my Uncle Freddy (Gerald's younger Brother) was a member as well. Harley Davidson Police Dresser. Incredible!

Desert Isle Keeper Review
Wicked Is the Night
Catherine Mulvany
December 2008, Romantic Suspense
Pocket, $6.99, 368 pages, Amazon ASIN 1416525580
I'll have to admit I didn't ask to review this book since I wasn't in the mood for romantic suspense with a paranormal twist. Add to that a former racecar driver as hero, and it really didn't seem to match my interests. Fortunately, my editor encouraged me to review it. And guess what? I loved this book! Wicked Is the Night is not only my favorite romantic suspense novels of 2008, it's one of my favorites of the past few years.
Trick Granger suffered serious career-ending injuries in a racing accident that left him with a patch over one eye and a limp. Add in the ghost haunting the mansion and former bordello he recently inherited and the result is Trick drinking a bit too much. One night, he and a friend see a woman jump out of a truck in front of them, and stop to help her. The woman, Nevada White, reports that the truck driver tried to put the moves on her, and asks if they'll take her as far as the next truck stop.
Trick and his friend decide to have a few words with the driver, but are shocked to discover that he's been murdered and it doesn't look as if a human killed him. At the same time, Nevada spots some dangerous men and hides in Trick's car. The former racecar driver isn't sure exactly what to do about Nevada, but he offers her a job cleaning his dilapidated mansion.
Nevada has a number of problems and takes Trick up on his offer. She just escaped from a mysterious institution where doctors experimented on her, wiping her pre-institution memory clean. She also has uncontrollable psychic flashes in which she sees people's memories. Not only is she being followed, people who know her are killed, their throats torn out and their blood drained.
This isn't an alternate world - it's today and people don't believe in vampires. However, Nevada and Trick gradually become convinced that those creatures may, indeed, be involved in their problems.
There's a lot going on in this book, and I enjoyed it all, from the mysteries of the mansion to that of Nevada's past. Most importantly, I enjoyed Nevada and Trick. Although there was an immediate sexual attraction between the two, their relationship developed slowly, with no jumping into bed within days or hours of meeting.
Trick and Nevada are well-developed characters with interesting quirks and are surrounded by some interesting secondary characters. They are ordinary people (well, except for those psychic flashes) placed in dangerous situations. Instead of superpowers or an arsenal of weapons, they use their ingenuity when cornered.
While the murders sound gruesome, they occur off-page so we don't see them as they happen, nor are we treated to many grim details. While there are scenes told from the villain's point of view, they're not icky and are relatively brief.
As a side note, I cringed when I saw the cover for this book. Fortunately, I read an ARC with a plain white cover. I'm afraid I might never have picked it up in a bookstore if I'd seen the cover, which would have been a true shame. If you enjoy romantic suspense with a bit of a paranormal twist, I can heartily recommend Wicked Is the Night.

Little Trooper, who was found blind and half frozen last week when Arctic air arrived in upstate SC, is now facing new medical problems.
Abby's Animal Angels updated his condition on their Facebook page on January 14. Now Trooper is having a few surprise issues, which means donations for his treatment are needed more than ever. Although Trooper has a higher energy level since beginning treatment, his updated condition is frustrating.
This Examiner article covered the original story of how Trooper, a 5-week-old blind puppy, was found half frozen and unresponsive from the frigid temperatures that roared through upstate South Carolina last week.
Trooper has broken out with severe demodectic mange, and also a secondary infection. This comes on top of the staff infection he was previously diagnosed with. The vet believes this is happening because of his severely taxed immune system.
Trooper has several vet visits in his future, and the next few days will determine the best way to treat these new problems. Abby's Animal Angels is doing all they can to save the little guy, including putting him on a vitamin supplement, as well as high-end food.
Trooper will also be starting on Ivermectin to treat any parasites, as well as using the drug as heartworm preventative. He will also be given medicated baths to treat the dermodectic mange.
All of this costs money, and Abby's Animal Angels still needs help in raising the funds to treat him. A GoFundMe webpage has been set up, and you can donate by clicking here. The rescue is half way to goal, having collected $410 of their $800 goal.
Chances are the goal will be increased to reflect the new challenges the rescue has to face in getting Trooper healthy.
Please donate if you can, and share this article. Trooper is a miracle puppy to have survived the bitter cold. He's a tough little guy, and Abby's Animal Angels wants to give him the best of treatment to ensure his survival. They need help from animal lovers to make that happen.

Not As Hot As I PreferI bought this straightener to take on a trip to Italy as Ive had poor experiences with electric converters and adaptors. It worked, but never got as hot as I prefer when using a straight iron. It felt like the price was pretty high for the performance of the product.Jun 9, 2008Anonymous / California

Just As I Hoped...This flat iron was a sheer pleasure to use while on my trip in Italy. The dial helps you control the temperature; it heats up quickly; it comes with its own case for cool down and storage...it was perfect! The smooth feel of the ceramic was wonderful and it styled my hair even better than my Chi I use when home in NYC...highly recommend this flat iron...you will be thrilled....I cant wait to travel and use it again soon.May 5, 2008Christy / NYC

Worth Buying Just For TravelI went overseas for a couple of weeks and debated purchasing a native plug appliance just for occasional trips. It was so worth it, not only because it was more secure in wobbly hotel plugs than using a adaptor but also so we could save the three adaptors we brought with us for charging camera batteries instead of running hair appliances. As for the Sedu, I liked it so much, Im buying the US plug for everyday use now that Im back home and dumping my over-the-counter version.May 1, 2008India Traveler

No Swivel CordI do like this Sedu. Much lighter than my US Solia Flat Iron. I wish this Sedu has a swivel cord. If you curl your hair, the cord gets entangled all the time & so annoying.Apr 17, 2008Tia Mo / US, UK & Singapore

Good ProductI was skeptical to buy something this expensive for my short trip to Asia, but then decided to go ahead and give it a try. I have pretty thick wavy hair, but was able to get it straight with this tool. It worked well and also took less time. Was really pleased. The style lasted the high humidity too. Was really pleased with the purchase. The only complain I had was my hair seemed very flat and did not seem like it had volume. But I would take flat hair for frizzy unkept hair :-) Shipping was fast too.Feb 13, 2008Amy

Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Straightener (1", 220-240v, Plug Type C)Excellent hair straightener. I purchased this to use in Asia (220V) and I was not disappointed. It straightened my hair really fast. Ive had the Superstar, CHI, and Solia, but the Sedu thus far is the best in terms of ease of use and how fast it straightens the hair. I cant say the same for the 110-V version, but Im seriously thinking of getting one to cut my straightening time in the morning.Jan 30, 2008Becky O. / San Francisco, CA

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Spring/Summer 2007 issue.
These are two of more than 300 different bird species that can be spotted locally. Search for them on your own or visit www.birdinginmexico.com to learn about professionally guided birding tours.
Golden-Cheeked Woodpecker Melanerpes chrysogenys
This is the most common species of woodpeckers in our area, and they nest locally, excavating holes in tree stumps. After four to five weeks, up to two chicks will fledge, acquiring full adult plumage within a year. Usually they hang out in pairs, both females and males. The males develop a red patch on the forehead and their characteristic golden "fluffy" head. Females lack the red patch.
Green Jays Cyanocorax yncas
The green jays are uncommon and easily overlooked, even in their usual habitat, since they camouflage in the jungle very well, like parrots. They usually hang out in small flocks, their call a resonant metallic sound that can be very helpful in identifying this amazing species.

Gout, also called monosodium urate crystal deposition disease, is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis in people over age 65. About 6 million U.S. adults over age 20 say they have experienced gout symptoms at least once in their lives.
Defining Gout
"Gout is a caused by uric acid. We all have uric acid in our body. It's made as a normal thing that our cells turn over; however, most of us pee it out and the levels never get high," says rheumatologist Kevin Deane, MD, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of rheumatology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver.
If you have too much uric acid in your blood, you have hyperuricemia — but not everyone with this condition develops gout. "When uric acid gets high it forms crystals in the cool parts of your body, which are the joints," he says.
This tendency to form crystals in the coolest part of the body explains why the big toe is often the first joint affected by gout, says Dr. Deane.
Usually uric acid is processed out of your blood by your kidneys, but if your kidneys are not working well or you are eating a lot of foods that contain purine (which makes uric acid in your body), you may build up extra uric acid. One study found that men who ate lots of meat and seafood had greater odds of developing gout.
Gout: The Numbers
The number of people with gout has been increasing in past decades. A review of data from the United States showed a 60 percent increase in gout diagnosis among people over age 65 from 1990 to 1999, and twice the number of diagnoses in people over age 75 during the same period. "It typically happens in men — estrogen helps protect against high levels of uric acid," notes Deane.
Gout: The Symptoms
This type of rheumatic disease often makes its first appearance in your big toe, often after you've hurt the toe in some way. Thereafter, gout symptoms may come and go, and tend to be triggered by:
- Stress
- Alcohol
- Drugs
- Illness
Early in the disease you might only experience three to 10 days of symptoms and then a long period without any gout symptoms. Without treatment, you can develop chronic gout, which means gout symptoms are present almost all the time.
General gout symptoms are:
- Uric acid crystals in your joint fluid (as seen under a microscope)
- Joint pain, redness, and swelling that develops quickly and often only in one joint
- "Chalky" lumps of uric acid forming under the skin in bumps called tophi
- Kidney stones
- Poor kidney function
Gout: Risk Factors
The typical gout patient is a man between 30 and 50 years old with high blood pressure and a tendency to drink too much alcohol (usually beer), but other people can get gout too. This is what puts you at increased risk:
- Genetics. Studies suggest that mutation of a specific gene increases your risk of gout. About one in five people with gout have a relative who also has gout.
- Gender and age. Risk increases as you age, and gout is more common in men.
- Excess weight. If you are obese or overweight, you are at greater risk.
- Alcohol consumption. Alcohol prevents your body from removing uric acid effectively. Beer is particularly strongly linked to gout.
- Foods containing purine. For some people, a diet with a lot of purine increases gout risk. Besides meat and shellfish, purine can be found in high levels in anchovies, peas, liver, dried beans, and gravy.
- Sugary drinks. A recent study of health and diet data from 46,393 men over the course of 12 years showed that the more sweet drinks like soda that the men drank, the more likely they were to develop gout. Consuming fruits and fruit juices high in fructose also increased the risk of gout.
- Lead exposure. Lead in your environment may lead to gout.
- Chronic diseases. Disease such as high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, some cancers, and conditions that make it hard to process uric acid can cause gout.
- Medications. Use of certain medications, including diuretics, salicylate-containing drugs, niacin, cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral), and levodopa (Larodopa) can lead to gout.
If you see the signs of gout, talk to your primary care provider. With early treatment and lifestyle changes, you can reduce your pain over the long term.

Greetings everyone!
Just found this forum and am glad to stop by and read some of your thoughts.
I'm visiting California from my home state of Arizona, and WOW, are the laws in California strange. I wonder when this will be seated in from of the US Supreme Court and settle a national issue... I mean, what am I supposed to so when traveling from state to state? Mail my firearm to me because my Glock carries more bullets than the state allows?
Oh, and am I supposed to get a permit to carry (concealed or open) before I even visit? ***?
Well, it is a pleasure to see you all here. Please feel free to stop by my site and check it out. I'd appreciate any comments while building it. The site spcializes in Glocks right now; however, there are actually some 12,000 products that I sell. I just have to figure out that database thing.
Years of history in the industry. Looking forward to many more years, serving the Americans that know what is right.
All my best to all of you and enjoy the moment.
