As usual, my resolve to play the International £100 tournament on Saturday night crumbled to dust. Once I was out of London, I simply couldn't summon the motivation to go to Old Street and play the event, so I spent a non poker weekend enjoying the weather.
I am slightly concerned about my lack of deep stack, larger field tournament practice this year, but Dev pointed out yesterday, that our numerous cash games are reasonable proxies for the early stages of a Venetian deepstack, and the £50 crash bang wallop tournaments we play are good practice for the later levels. Perhaps I am indirectly getting the exposure I need after all.
Nonetheless, I shall endeavour to play the International £200 event tomorrow night to at least get one genuine tournament under my belt. That, of course, all depends on how late tonight's 6 man cash game goes on for, at an as yet unknown venue. The line up is fairly tough - Baron, Devski, The Nit, Fluke and David the other players.
The other guys crushed the Empire cash game (again) on Saturday night, and I'm determined to get down there before Vegas to see if these tales of tables paved with gold are true.
Speaking of the phrase "paved with gold", loyal readers of this blog will have guessed that I have, of course, been incandescent with rage over the MPs expense revelations in the Telegraph. Even writing this sentence about the wretched corrupt imbeciles that pass themselves off as UK politicians has wound me up, but I feel that the papers haven't picked up on a few key distinctions on some of the claims.
There is surely the opportunity to totally slam dunk some of these people - consider the following claims:
Salford MP Hazel Blears claims her purchased flat in Kennington is her second home, thus enabling her to claim a slew of allowances from the tax payer. She then comes to sell the flat, and now "flips" her primary home status from Salford to London. Result? She can now sell the London flat and not pay 18k of Capital Gains Tax on the disposal as it is now her primary residence. A classic case of "having your cake and eating it", but what she has done it not illegal. Contemptible/greedy/despicable - yes, but not illegal. A below average individual has simply creamed the rules to her maximum benefit at the taxpayers expense.
Former Home and Foreign Secretary Jack Straw owns a house in sunny Blackburn. This property is registered as his second home (as you would expect from a prominent cabinet minister). Since it is second home, Jack pays only 50% council tax on the property. However, since 2004, Jack has claimed back expenses for 100% of council tax. The difference between this and the Blears claim, is that to the casual observer this could be interpreted as FRAUD against the taxpayer. Jack has potentially claimed for several years from the public purse money to which he is not entitled.
Of course, as soon as Straw got whiff of the fact that MP expenses were going to come out into the open, he repaid the money saying "sorry" and giving the excuse that he was "too busy to fill out the claims correctly".
Perhaps I will see if this ruse works with HMIT next time I do my tax return. I'll indulge in a spot of tax evasion via dodgy expenses and see what happens. If I get a letter from HMIT saying that they plan to investigate me I'll simply reply:
"Dear HMIT
I gather that you plan to investigate my tax affairs. Coincidentally, I have been reviewing my claims and have discovered that I erroneously claimed £5,625 for expenses which never existed. Thus I enclose a cheque for £2,250 to repay the money saved on this tax deduction.
I am sorry. I am afraid that the reality of life over the last few years is that I have often had to complete my tax returns in marginal time and without recourse to all records.
I trust this matter is now closed
Yours sincerely
P.S. Please don't mention this to the Daily Telegraph"

Kurt Schwerdtfeger
Kurt Schwerdtfeger was born in 1897 in the German city of Puddiger (now Podgórki, Poland) and fought in both world wars as a soldier. In 1919/20, he studied art history and philosophy in Königsberg and Jena before he applied to the Bauhaus in 1920. He stayed there until 1924 and put his artistic emphasis on sculpture. The Reflecting Colour-Light Games, which are documented with two photographs in the catalogue for the major Bauhaus Exhibition of 1923, are still among his most important works of this period.
Directly after his education at the Bauhaus, Kurt Schwerdtfeger received a teaching assignment at the Art College for Design Work in Stettin. This was changed into a professorship for sculpture in 1927 and he remained in this position until 1937.
From 1924 to 1933, Schwerdtfeger participated in various exhibitions in Germany and other countries. These included the Berlin Secession, the November Group (of which he was a member), the Stettin State Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Paris Centre Pompidou.
In the year of his dismissal from employment at the university, Schwerdtfeger's artistic works were ostracised as "degenerate" and removed from museums and public collections. The worked that he had stored in Stettin were also completely destroyed in 1945.
With the end of the war, it became possible for Schwerdtfeger to once again dedicate himself to art. In 1946, he received the professorship for art pedagogics at the Pedagogical University in Alfeld a. d. Leine (University of Hildesheim) and remained in this position until his death in 1966. His newly created works were presented in national and international exhibitions, as well as sculptures in public buildings. In 1953, Schwerdtfeger published his book called Bildende Kunst und Schule (Fine Art and School) in the Schroedel-Verlag. From 1964 to 1966, he prepared a reconstruction of the Reflecting Colour-Light Games with his Alfeld students. Kurt Schwerdtfeger had been a member of the Deutscher Werkbund (German Work Federation) since 1932 and was accepted into the German Artist Association in 1955.

June. Isabella Carlyle dies (1); John A. Carlyle writes to TC ([6]) describing the funeral on the previous day. TC and JWC both decline an invitation from James John Garth Wilkinson to his daughter Emma's wedding on grounds of ill health (6). Larkin continues to work on maps (10), and Neuberg to research material for Frederick. With many changes of mind, the Carlyles are considering a holiday out of London, finally deciding on Humbie Farm, near Aberdour, Fife (13). TC, maid Charlotte, Nero, and Fritz take the Edinburgh steamer (22, arriving 24); JWC travels by express train (22), visiting the Donaldsons in Haddington on the way. She arrives at Humbie feeling very weak (28). TC visits Kirkcaldy (29) looking for a sidesaddle for JWC (30).
July. TC arranges to get a sidesaddle from Scotsbrig and, with the help of his brother-in-law James Aitken, a cuddy (donkey) for JWC to ride (1). JWC still feels weak and unwell but enjoys the clean house and the views at Humbie Farm. TC rides and bathes daily with Nero, whose mange is cured by the sea water, and Charlotte "is the happiest of Girls" ([4]). The cuddy arrives (8). John A. Carlyle visits for the day from Edinburgh (9). TC recommends a spell in the country to John Forster and says he and his wife should consider coming to Fife (10). After two weeks there is no improvement in health for JWC; she goes to Auchtertool for a few days (15). TC visits the Ferguses in Kirkcaldy, calling at Auchtertool on the way back, "a labourious futile, rather dreary day" (16). JWC returns from Auchtertool (18). Weather turns "wet rather troublesome." TC rides, and JWC is confined to the house again, having caught a cold in the damp weather (21); she "continues weakly" but goes out for walks (25). TC celebrates his idleness and tells Larkin that "[t]he place is one of the finest I ever saw for outlooks and situation" (28) but discourages his sister, Jean Aitken, from holidaying near them (31).
August. Walter Mantell visits (early Aug.). Lease of Humbie farm ends (5), and they move to Auchtertool House, near the Manse where JWC's cousins live. Her cousins have prepared enough rooms for them in the house, which they have rent-free because of its bad state of repair ([12]). A. J. Scott asks for advice about leaving his teaching position in Manchester and editing a new magazine (6). TC catches cold and is in a "below-par-ish way" (6); he has not bathed in the sea since the night of their arrival; he goes to Kirkcaldy for "blue pill & castor" (8); he continues to correspond with Neuberg about books for Frederick and rides regularly (12). JWC is well enough to go out on her donkey; she complains of TC's restlessness, hoping that his plans for visiting Annandale materialize so that she can be alone and rest ([12]). John A. Carlyle and John Gordon visit from Edinburgh for the day (13). TC's cold improves; he bathes in the sea again and is enjoying the good weather, continuing his work on Frederick in the evenings (15). Thomas Spedding invites TC to visit in Mirehouse on his way back to London, but TC thinks it is unlikely he will visit (17). He welcomes Lord Ashburton back from his honeymoon and hopes to meet him in London in October (18); he orders more shoes to be made and sent to London (18). John A. Carlyle visits from Edinburgh (19). TC is invited to Thomas Erskine's at Linlathen, but, to his relief, the visit is canceled (21). His health has improved, although he still suffers from a sore throat; he asks for John's help in getting cloth from Edinburgh for a new dressing gown and jacket to be made at The Gill when he visits (25). Both Carlyles continue to write to Larkin, enlisting his help on various matters. The donkey falls under JWC, bruising her (28). Leigh Hunt dies (28). TC consults with John A. Carlyle about visiting Annandale on his way home to London (29); John becomes impatient with TC's frequent changes of mind (31). JWC prefers to return to Chelsea by train by the east-coast route after visiting her aunts in Edinburgh with Charlotte.
September. TC apologizes to John A. Carlyle for being difficult over travel arrangements (2). JWC writes to George Cooke about Geraldine Jewsbury, who has been ill, and Walter Mantell ([2]). JWC asks William Dods about her father's grave at St. Mary's Kirk in Haddington after the horror of her last visit when she found "trenching, and scaffolding, and bare, trampled, heaped up earth"; her stay in Fife has been "more the Life of a picketted Sheep, than of a human woman" ([3]). TC asks Larkin for help in settling his horse when Fritz arrives back in London with Charlotte (5). TC thanks Charles Butler for help with his American investments. He goes to Scotsbrig via Edinburgh with his brother John for company and sets about having his winter clothes made (8); he refuses an invitation to stay with Monckton Milnes in Yorkshire (12). JWC visits her aunts in Edinburgh and sees Charlotte, Nero, and Fritz on to the steamer at Granton (14). She visits Betty Braid at Upper Stenhouse (15) and stays one night with Mary Binnie at Prestonpans (16) on her way to Haddington and the Donaldson sisters (17). TC proposes accepting the Stanleys' invitation to Alderley en route to London; JWC declines (18); she stays a night at a hotel in York to break her journey home (22); her neighbors, Anne Gilchrist and Isobel Royston, and Henry Larkin call at Cheyne Row (24). TC moves to The Gill (19), then Scotsbrig (25). In Chelsea, JWC has trouble sleeping ([26]). TC arrives at the Stanleys' in Alderley (29).
October. TC arrives back in Chelsea (1); he feels gloomy on restarting work, despite his daily riding and Neuberg's and Larkin's help: "It does not appear to me hitherto that the History of Fredk can be written" (3). JWC warmly invites Walter Mantell to visit (6). Anne Gilchrist calls (11). TC writes his brother Alexander in Canada about his mournful feelings on revisiting Ecclefechan (7) and tells his sister Jean Aitken of his slow but at least "noticeable" progress with Frederick (17). JWC visits Richmond (17). TC again enlists Larkin's help in getting hold of maps for Frederick (19). He sends a sympathetic letter with a check to the chartist Ernest Jones who has suffered considerable financial losses (20); he declines Thackeray's request to contribute an article to the Cornhill Magazine (20). JWC thanks Susan Stirling for a gift of a photograph and tells her of the accident that almost killed Nero (21); she begins to go out in the "neat fly" again. Neuberg, even though he is ill, continues working for TC (23). TC thinks that both he and JWC are better for their holiday (26). David Masson visits (28). Food arrives from Scotsbrig; JWC writes to her nephew Jamie Carlyle asking him to thank his father for it; she complains of TC's "excessive irritability"; the cat has four kittens; JWC tells Charlotte to drown two of them ([late Oct.]).

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – Oregon redshirt sophomore sprinter, Jenna Prandini was named the Pac-12 Women's Track Athlete of the Week, the conference announced, Tuesday.
Prandini began her 2014 outdoor season in spectacular fashion by winning the 200 in a meet-record time of 22.98 at the Aztec Invitational. The mark, which is the fastest time in the world this year, is a personal best and moved her up to fourth on the Oregon all-time list. Prandini joined Jasmine Todd, Marybeth Sant and Phyllis Francis in the 4x100 relay which cruised to a victory by more than two seconds and set a meet record of 43.74. The time is .01 seconds off Oregon's best mark from 2013, ranks fourth in school history and No. 3 in the NCAA this season.
This is the first weekly conference award for an Oregon student-athlete this season and the first of Prandini's career.
Oregon will host the Pepsi Arizona Dual, Saturday at Historic Hayward Field against the No. 9 (women)/No. 16 (men) Wildcats. The meet will begin at 11:30 a.m. with the live Pac-12 Networks coverage beginning at 1 p.m.

Given their dissimilar size, differing breeds and opposite coloring, some might call "Kip," and "Fawn," an odd couple, but if the dogs could talk, they would likely refer to themselves simply as "best friends."
Weeks ago, the pair was picked up on the side of the road by a woman who transported them to the Montgomery County Animal Control in Christiansburg, Va. The woman advised the facility that the dogs were obviously bonded and even noted that the pit bull would share her food with the tiny Chihuahua.
Today, the endearing duo continues to wait for a family who will appreciate their charm and who will want to offer them a loving home.
Marilyn Wheaton, who works at the facility, offered the following information to the National Dog News Examiner about Kip and Fawn:
When Kip is out by himself, he's a typical Chihuahua in a shelter environment - nervous, unsure about new people, and not particularly pleased about being on the leash. When Fawn is out alone she is friendly with everyone, but shy and unsure of herself - doing a lot of crawling on her belly.
When the pair are out together, however, they are completely different. They start running around and playing with each other and the people they are with. Kip suddenly becomes friendly with everyone, if still a little shy for the first minute or so. He doesn't mind the leash anymore if it means he gets to walk with his best buddy.
Fawn becomes exuberantly happy and turns into a big puppy. Her only flaw is that sometimes she gets a little too excited and gets a little mouthy and jumpy. Kip has learned to tuck and roll when Fawn goes charging past him and he thinks it's hilarious, so the two play great together. Both are very well-behaved on the leash for walks together.
Wheaton offered insight on the types of dogs that Kip and Fawn prefer:
The couple has been tested with dogs, and each has different things that they like and dislike. Kip definitely prefers females over males, while Fawn seems to prefer dogs that are smaller than she is.
The facility would love to see Kip and Fawn join a home together, given their beautiful friendship and obvious enjoyment with one another's company.
Wheaton noted the following about rescue and/or adoption:
With unaltered dogs, we can only adopt to our own county (Montgomery) and the surrounding counties. The shelter is very rescue-friendly, however, and we can transfer dogs to any reputable rescue with a 501(c)3.

I hate mutiple teams, all the Knick enemy's basicly, too lazy to type.
i have to ask you this question again ....hope u understand...
so....i hate the lakers!!!
I hate mutiple teams, all the Knick enemy's basicly, too lazy to type.
right now i can't stand miami....they're just too good...hope my sixers won't play with'em too soon...
There is a thin line between love and hate
right now i hate the cavs and bron
Okay, Ive hated this time for a while...its not jealousy or anything personal really its just I HATE THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS. and its not because they beat us in the finals a few years ago. They are just the most boring team to watch EVER. They win most all their games and you know your gonna see Duncan do his little spin move and shoot. They have NO personality what so ever, and as NBA LIVE song says "Your team colors are weak, and I dont like you anyways". Id rather watch Charlotte or Atlanta at least they have energetic players, personality to some extent and team colors that wont make me fall asleep. its like watching a damn non color tv man. GO KNICKS!!!
i know what u mean...i hate the spurs too....man, that team has no purpose....
I soften up on most teams when they're no longer a threat to the Pistons, but not the Nets. I'll continue to dispise that team as long as Rod "dork" Thorn runs them. The only thing I don't hate about them is my man Elden "Soup" Campbell, and even that's a sore spot as that dork Thorn picked EC up just to spite the Pistons org.
The Pacers are also on my sh!t list.

Ford Atlas Concept
This week, Ford unveiled the Ford Atlas Concept to showcase the design, capability, fuel efficiency and smart technologies that will define future pickup trucks.
"The Ford Atlas Concept previews the innovations that will transform what people expect from their pickup," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development. "With 36 years as America's best-selling pickup, we are absolutely committed to setting the agenda in the truck market."
Design with purpose
"We wanted the concept to reflect how Ford trucks help customers in both their worlds – professionally and personally," said J Mays, Ford group vice president and chief creative officer. "Every surface and feature in the vehicle has been crafted for purpose and capability while retaining an unmistakable Built Ford Tough look."
Designers enhanced truck functionality, while creating new advanced features. For example, multiple tie-down points are integrated within the cargo box walls and load floor, along with 110-volt electrical outlets in the cargo box to charge power tools. An integrated roof carrying system and hidden extendable ramps give the truck unique functionality for a variety of jobs.
Leading fuel efficiency
The Ford Atlas Concept features a next-generation EcoBoost® powertrain, which introduces truck-enhanced Auto Start-Stop engine shutoff technology. Auto Start-Stop shuts off the engine when stopped in traffic to save fuel – and smartly suspends the feature when the truck knows it is towing.
EcoBoost engines use gasoline direct injection and turbocharging to deliver fuel-economy gains of up to 20 percent and reduction of CO2 emissions of up to 15 percent, compared with larger-displacement engines. More than 500,000 EcoBoost engines have been sold globally, including 250,000 in the Ford F-150.
Work and play smarter, not harder
Ford Atlas Concept is a rolling showcase of features that improve capability, durability and productivity to meet the diverse needs of pickup truck owners. Features include:
• Dual-Purpose Tailgate Step and Cargo Cradle
• Dynamic Hitch Assist
• 360-Degree Point-of-View Camera
• LED Headlamps and Taillamps
• LED Cargo Box and Side Mirror Lighting
• Hidden Cargo Ramps

Say What You Do. Do What You Say.
The problem with promotional and marketing materials is that the claims seldom match the reality. That's because when any firm writes marketing materials the objective is to be completely persuasive -- not completely truthful.
DecisionQ believes that the best promotion is true and accurate accounts of your actual successes. Say what you do, and then defend it in front of a tough audience.
To that end we are participants in - and strong supporters of - the academic peer-review and publication process. In order to be chosen to publish your work you must first make a substantial and novel contribution to the body of science and then defend your work to a jury of your scientific and academic peers who will scrutinize your every statement for accuracy and completeness.
If you can get through the process, the publication that results is both substantial and thoroughly vetted so that the reader can rely on the fact that you say what you do and do what you say.
It's a high hurdle to clear and the kind of real marketing we think is worth the investment in time and treasure.
Below is a very small sample of over forty peer reviewed publications and presentations from our work in healthcare and life sciences. Materials from our work in national defense and other industries as well as more of our work in the life sciences are available upon request.
(click on the case studies below to view PDF)
Our work in managed care is designed to help make healthcare more affordable and more efficient. To this end, we have done some work detecting health insurance fraud We have also done work applying our machine learning algorithms to help predict costs and risks for subjects with chemical dependencies.
DecisionQ has built several clinical decision support systems, which are designed to help physicians make clinical decisions that affect care and treatment of patients. Most of our work in this field pertains to oncology. Our work uses our machine-learning trained model to estimate survival time for patients with colon cancer. We have also applied our algorithms to estimate the likelihood of disease-specific survival in patients with soft-tissue sarcoma.
Our diagnostic tools are used to help physicians determine the relationships between symptoms and diagnosis. Some of our current work uses our tools to examine the relationship of clinical variables to proper healing in the severely wounded. We have also used our tools to predict kidney transplant failure using gene transcripts.
DecisionQ also has experience in the fields of defense, finance, insurance and consumer marketing. We work with experts in these fields to solve precise problems, including malware detection and fraud detection.

text: Stephen Nell Cape Town - The personnel might well have changed but the goal remains the same against the Blue Bulls."It's one thing to know what you need to do but another to actually do it," said Western Province forward coach Matthew Proudfoot ahead of Saturdays Currie Cup match against the men from Pretoria. Gary Botha is the only member of the Bulls' tight five who did Super Rugby duty who is still available for selection.Props Dean Greyling and Werner Kruger are touring with the Springboks, while locks Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha are on the list of "injured" Springboks. Danie Rossouw and Flip van der Merwe are also on Springbok duty which means Fudge Mabeta and Juandre Kruger will make up the second row. Gurthrö Steenkamp and Chiliboy Ralepelle are also not available. Yet still you will struggle to find someone who would call them vulnerable - especially after coming back from being 3-17 down against Free State to win 33-30. "Their game plan remains he same. They attack you in every scrum and are very good at short lineouts. They still use the same lineout system used by Victor Matfield. Juandré Kruger is very athletic. Their philosophy with regard to taking your tight five on is still very much part of their plan," said Proudfoot. He did acknowledge that the WP scrum had improved against the Leopards, but he expects more from his pack."I was still not happy with our scrum. I do not think we are maintaining the pressure after the hit. The timing of the hit is fine but if we want to mix it with the Sharks, Bulls, Free State and Lions we need to maintain that pressure after the hit."WP managed to keep their Stormers front row but have had to pit together new lock and loose forward combinations. "It's a question of synergy. We need a good foundation because in Nick Koster we have a man who carries the ball well from the base of the scrum and we want to use him as an attacking weapon - like the Bulls use Pierre Spies," said Proudfoot. If WP's players are able to stand up to the physicality of the Bulls, they would stand a chance to beat the men from Pretoria."There are not many sides that would have been able to wipe out a deficit in the way they did on Saturday. The manner in which they fought back to win the game was really impressive," said Proudfoot."I don't think Pine Pienaar (new Bulls coach) changed much. That old fighting spirit is still there."They are probably trying to launch a few more counter attacks but still use the same old defensive structure."Pine thus makes use of the best aspects of their game while also adding a bit of the attacking style he employed at the Cheetahs."

I do consulting and carry my Windows XP laptop from employer to employer. In some of the places I go to, they have unique network settings, so sometimes I have to sit there and change my network settings (e.g. type in DNS servers, IP values, etc...).
Of course, when I get to another employer, I have to reset the settings back to the original.
Is there a way to save these various settings and change them as needed in one fell swoop?

Patiala House Movie Reviews
User reviews on Patiala House
Director Nikhil Advani has a formula for a melodrama and it is getting old and boring. The movie did not suck and it was not absolutely terrible but it was not good either. The film goes back and forth between melodrama and humor, therefore it leaves the audience a little bit confused about what director was aiming for. What makes the movie bearable is the cast. Anushka Sharma was very good and believable as always chattering and energetic girl and I think that without her the movie would have been a total snooz-fest. Akshay Kumar and Rishi Kapoor were very good as well and I truly enjoyed watching their performances. The music in the film was nothing special but it was pleasant. Overall, I would suggest seeing it if you enjoy cheesy melodramas, otherwise I suggest staying home.
I did not like this film, it was not bad but not good either. I would say it was a mediocre family drama and nothing more. I thought that the film had a decent buildup but failed in many levels. First of all, it was hard for me to relate because i think that cricket is a stupid sport and I do not understand it. The writing was terrible as well, the dialogue was straight up silly sometimes and the story had a lot of loopholes. I have to admit that some of the moments were really inspiring and genuine, but the bad moments overweight the good ones. I did enjoy the music in the film and the acting was alright, I think the actors did the best that they can. Akshay Kumar, who plays the main character Parghat Singh Kahlon is enjoyable to watch and I think he played the strong and silent suffering type of guy very well. Overall, I would suggest saving your money and waiting for a better Bollywood film.

Mama mia! Introducing the 3-parent IVF baby
Plus, India bans animal testing, why being happy can make you fat, and more news we're talking about today
India bans animal testing The Bureau of Indian Standards (think: FDA of India) announced that it would ban the use of animal testing in the country's cosmetics standards. This could be the domino effect of the European Union's full ban on animal testing, announced in March 2013. The move means that in order to sell products in these countries, U.S. makeup manufacturers will have to meet the guidelines, as well. Click to read more about a new breakthrough that may end animal testing in cosmetics. (Source)

Book Review: Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
Like Jonathan Safran Foer, the author of Eating Animals, I have alternated all my life between being an ambiguous omnivore and an uncomfortable vegetarian. Ambiguous because I have never felt right about eating meat and uncomfortable because if there is anything I hate it is draw attention and cause inconvenience at social gatherings. But after listening to the audio book version of Eating Animals I can no longer be ambiguous. Had I not already been a vegetarian (since October 2010 this time), I would have become one by Chapter 2.
Foer has done a superb job presenting the difficult and complex topic of the ethics and public health dangers of meat production in the United States in a way that is mostly pleasant to read. When it is not pleasant to read it is because there is simply no way to present the subject matter honestly in a pleasant way. I tried to listen to every word, but I'll admit, when it got to the part about the steps in butchering a pig, I had to fast forward just a little bit because I felt myself about to get sick. Foer integrates the facts with his own inner struggles and places his investigation within the context of his own family history. The birth of his son serves as the catalyst for his research on food production and he begins and ends the book with his grandmother, a Holocaust survivor who survived World War II as a young girl by hiding in the Russian forests and scavenging for food. His grandmother's story of near starvation and resulting obsession with food makes for an interesting backdrop to the excesses of how food is produced and eaten today.
Foer keeps his tone light and non-judgmental for the most part, letting the facts speak for themselves. The facts reveal a system that is driven by consumer demand to produce cheap and abundant meat at the cost of suffering on a massive scale in conditions that can only be described as Hell of earth and resulting in drug-resistant microbes that have already escaped the barbed-wire hidden meat factory and seeped into the general public. While humans have eaten meat throughout the whole of human history, in the past century the methods of producing meat and the content of the meat itself have changed drastically.
The facts about factory farming have been available to for a long time, but the book presents the information in a way that speaks to the ambiguous among us and delves deeper into the subject than anything I have read before. Eating Animals is the result of three years of intense research on the meat industry including in-depth discussions with representatives of all points of view about the issue. Foer lets several of these representatives speak for themselves: an animal rights activist, a factory farmer, a traditional pig farmer, a traditional poultry farmer, a couple who runs an ethical cattle ranch, a hardline vegetarian, and several factory farm workers. I had the sense that Foer was making an honest attempt to present the issue fairly from all points of view. Most of the industry representatives and opposing activists were identified by name, but the factory farmer asked that Foer not use his name. This man pointed out the factory farm system does what is necessary to "feed the world." Consumers demand huge quantities of meat and want to be cheap.
Foer devotes at least a chapter to the methods for producing pork, poultry, beef, and fish and seafood. Although the exact methods and drugs and issues differ for each animal, the reader will see some similarities across all sectors: intense suffering, overcrowding, filth, animal disease caused by genetic mutation, rampant uncontrolled use of antibiotics, industry secrecy, and poorly paid non-English speaking workers. It seems laws against the inhumane treatment of animals are waived when it comes to factory-farmed animals. Beyond the abuses the system itself necessitates, there are abundant well-documented cases of gratuitous sadistic abuses by frustrated desensitized workers.
The insanely excessive use of antibiotics has been shown to result in drug-resistant microbes that have already spread into the human populations and resulted in many deaths. Experts believe it is only a matter of time before the next deadly pandemic hits. Autopsies of frozen bodies of people who died in the 1918 influenza pandemic, which killed at least 50 million people worldwide and infected a third on the world's population, have revealed links to swine and avian viruses. According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it has been identified as H1N5 and is a direct ancestor of the current H1N1 virus, which is linked to factory-farmed chicken.
If it were the facts alone that played into our food choices, the choice would be synch. But Foer acknowledges that all the horror in the world seems to fade into a sort of background uneasiness when confronted by your smiling family and the Thanksgiving turkey. Eating is a social activity with deep roots in memory, culture, and tradition. When you make a food choice such a vegetarianism that departs from tradition, culture, and deeply held beliefs about the necessity of meat for one's health, you cause disruption. Your friends and relatives may perceive you as an over sensitive judgmental troublemaker. You may inconvenience the host. This is largely why I quit being a vegetarian even though when I was alone, I thought it was the right choice and felt great about it. But when confronted with the social table, it just did not seem worth the cost of alienating people.
I like that Foer acknowledges the difficulty presented by social culture and tradition. How can something as good as sharing a traditional meal with loved ones be connected with something as evil as factory farming? He also acknowledges the other powerful argument for eating meat: it tastes good. He says he loves the taste and texture of meat. But in the end, after the most thoughtful weighing of the options and the facts I have ever read, Foer and his wife choose to adhere to a vegetarian diet and to raise their child with new traditions. I recommend the book highly be be warned: it could be a life changer. My bottom line after reading this book is that I will never ever again purchase or eat meat that comes from a factory farm.

Hi Carol. I'm stopping by as part of Meg Waite Clayton's Bloggers Ball #6. Thanks for visiting my site. Gardening isn't for everyone, but it's an easy way to be a vegetarian and know that your food is 100 percent organic. I also purchase organic chickens, eggs and grass-feed beef all available at my local farmers market. Factory raised meat bad, including farm raised fish, Organic, free range meat good. Home grown veggies, great.
Carol Apple says:
Thank you Carolyn for visiting! Yes – I agree that gardening is a great thing and I wish I had time to do it. Maybe some day when I can give up my day job I'll get into organic gardening. I can see that happening. We did find a source for organic/non-factory farmed meat for my husband and sons since I wrote this post, and farmer's markets are wonderful things. We live near several.
CJ says:
Brenda – I feel your pain. My two teenage athletes need massive quantities of food and do not want to be vegetarian. I am looking for alternative sources of meat for them (organic … traditionally farmed…anything healthier and more humane).The problem is not so much eating meat as it is eating the meat as it is currently mass produced for the grocery stores.It can be an uphill struggle though to make better/healthier choices is our fast-paced life.
Brenda says:
I tried this with my family – but they vetoeted me straight away. Both kids are into sports and didn't think they could go cold turkey (pun not intended) but did agree to eat more fish.. Baby steps. Thanks for the thoughtful review.
amber says:
I need to add this to my "to read" list. I just blogged today about our experiment to go meatless for the month of May. It's information like this that triggered the decision.

I've checked the forums there, but I don't believe (since it's beta) that I will receive any possible insight.
Does anyone know how to create the physical linking or what exactly I've ignored?

It'll be a real battle - MON
by Stuart Vose
Boss speaks ahead of Old Trafford test.
Martin O'Neill says spirits are high in the Sunderland camp ahead of a "difficult" assignment at Manchester United this weekend.
The Black Cats take on the league leaders at Old Trafford on Saturday hoping to spring a surprise at the expense of a United side who have been in fine form this season.
Sir Alex Ferguson's outfit sit six points clear of Manchester City, and O'Neill says Sunderland's midweek win over Reading came at an ideal time ahead of the game.
"The players have always been in decent spirits, but the midweek result has given us a boost and hopefully we can continue that over the Christmas and New Year," he said.
"We've got a set of games coming up now which are particularly difficult.
"We go to Old Trafford with Manchester United a number of points clear at the top, so it's a difficult game for us.
"But the winning of the game during the week has given us that confidence boost and we go there in very fine spirits."
The trip to United kicks off a busy festive schedule which features home clashes with Manchester City and Spurs as well as trips to Southampton and Liverpool.
But O'Neill will take things one game at a time rather than taking the Christmas period as a whole.
"I don't think we can look that far forward," he said. "Bigger teams than us can perhaps plan a set of games, but we're not in that position.
"We must treat each game on its merits, do our very best and try to win – it really is as simple of that.
"The next game will then take care of itself, one way or the other."
Meanwhile O'Neill is the only manager in history to have won at Old Trafford with two different clubs but says such records are a thing of the past.
"These are different times now," he explained. "We've a real battle on but as I've said we can go there with some confidence.
"We must play with some sort of freedom. You have to compete every single week in this league.
"[The players] must go and play."

14 more Thomasville Furniture stores to close
Published: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 1:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 1:08 p.m.
Another 14 Thomasville Furniture retail stores, none in North Carolina, are slated to be closed in the next 60 days by its bankruptcy parent company, Furniture Brands International, according to trade publication Furniture Today.
The publication based its report on an e-mail sent to company employees by Kathy Veltri, who was named recently as president of Thomasville Furniture Industries.
The company has closed a store in High Point as part of shutting five company-owned stores in the first restructuring phase.
According to the Veltri e-mail, four stores will be closed in Florida, two in Connecticut and one each in Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
