My family and I recently sat down to watch the award winning film Twelve Years A Slave and we were all left speechless at the end. Usually, when we watch films together, everyone has at least two or three comments, complaints or general observations about the quality of the movie, but not this time. This time the room was completely silent as the final credits began to roll as my niece wept quietly and as I dried tears from the corners of my eyes with my fingertips. Even now as I write this I'm becoming emotional so be prepared to cry a little when you watch this one.
There are no adjectives that easily come to mind for describing this film. All I can say is that you MUST see this movie. Directed by Steve McQueen and written by John Ridley, Twelve Years A Slave is based upon the book of the same title published in 1853. The book was written by Solomon Northrup, the free man around whom the film is centered, and based upon letters that he'd written while enslaved.
Solomon Northrup was born in July of 1808 in Minerva, New York and grew up a free man. He worked as a farmer and was skilled at playing the violin. He was lured south and kidnapped in 1841 while seeking employment and was enslaved for more than a decade. After enduring degrading and violent conditions he was befriended by Samuel Bass, an anti-slavery Canadian carpenter, who helped Northrup in contacting friends and colleagues which led to his being freed in 1853.
Although Solomon Northrup was a free man, the United States during that time was split concerning the implementation of slavery, so much so that the northern part of the country was predominantly in support of abolishing the institution while the majority of the south sought to perpetuate it. Slavery as practiced in the United Sates from the middle of the 15th century to the end of the 19th century is also known as the transatlantic slave trade and was responsible for the forced migration of between 12 - 15 million people from Africa to the Western Hemisphere. The trafficking of Africans by major European countries during this period is sometimes referred to by African scholars as the Maafa or the 'great disaster' in Swahili and is rightly considered a crime against humanity.
The Holy Quran says in Surah Al Hujraat 49:13:
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
And the Holy Bible declares in the New Testament Book of Matthew 22:36-40:
"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" And he (Jesus, peace be upon him) said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."
The transatlantic slave trade has met its end but the suffering of millions should not be forgotten. This film is a powerful, soul-wrenching reminder. As we tread upon this earth we must remember that we are sojourners – visitors – here only for a time and entrusted with one another. We have to remember to care for each other and to leave this place a little better than how we found it, inshaa'Allah (if God permits). The warnings left by the evils of generations past can help us to prevent similar disasters from being repeated; and the hope generated from witnessing the faith and courage of men and women under such abominable duress can spark the flames necessary for warming and lighting our paths . . . inshaa'Allah . . . if God permits.

A new but familiar fast food joint has opened up downtown – Carl's Jr. Yep, thats right – the same Carl's Jr. with the good looking ladies provocatively eating burgers in their commercials. So my question is, does sex really sell? It must've, considering I went to try it out. I've never had Carl's Jr. before. Not for the lack of not trying, but because I've never really thought of going out of my way to try it when I'm down in the states.
Back to Carl's Jr. – it's tucked away near the Sephora at Pacific Centre downtown. My friend and I went after the lunch rush, but it was still fairly busy. My friend ordered the Memphis BBQ Six Dollar Burger which is a charbroiled all-beef burger, pulled pork, bbq sauce and crispy onion strings. He wasn't too impressed with his burger.
I ordered the Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar Burger. Which was done up with a 100% Black Angus beef, huac, bacon, pepperjack cheese and the fixings. I'm not really sure how I feel about this burger – I came in with low expectations, especially since all the menu items are always dolled up in their pictures never the same as what they look like in real life. The meat was greatly over exaggerated, as my patty was MAYBE half an inch thick. The patty itself was a little dry and salty. The only thing I really enjoyed about this burger was the guacamole – it was very creamy.
The fries weren't so bad and the pop is bottomless (well, it seems like it is – it isn't advertised anywhere that it is but it's just out there in the open for the refilling!). For the two burgers the cost came to about $22. Not bad, but with so many great choices in the area, I'm not sure whether I'd be back for more.

In response to Kathleen Menke's letter, while we review your comments about price, it seems as though your analysis is that of a glass is half empty where the cost of the 256K at $50 a month is too expensive. We believe the glass is half full and the cost of the 8Mb service tier at $160.00 is underpriced and a great deal. Basically the assumption you make is that all the costs of the service are variable with the amount of bandwidth used. In reality, there are a lot of fixed costs to cover and those costs make up a large part of the 256K rate. The fixed costs for the 8Mb tier are a much smaller piece of the total price. Also consider that, while the broadband access speeds customers are provided with can be changed with some ease, the "backhaul" capacity to the world that is needed to support the customer experience is weighed in heavily during the product development process, since it is the most costly element to consider.
The employee owners at AP&T are constantly looking for ways to improve our broadband product in both quality and value. There are currently no obstacles prohibiting AP&T from offering fair rates for speed and usage for our broadband service to best serve the community of Haines, and we will continue to serve in that manner. We do expect to make modifications in 2012 to our broadband service tiers and look forward to the possibility of your approval.

For a long time, the essay, Modern Sonic: The REAL Problem has been my featured deviation. It has garnered almost universally positive responses (Yes; almost; if everyone was mad at this series, it would have died), and reading positive responses to my work always makes me feel good. Unfortunately, it is also sadly out of date. For a while, my decision to boycott the series following the intolerably-bad Sonic 2006 kept me from updating the rant, but I've had so many people comment on it that I feel I might as well write something new. So to those who corresponded with me in the comments, some of this is review, but everyone else, here is my (and many other people's) new problem with Sonic.
In the heels of Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic 2006, a lot of the problems facing the series were mechanical; they stemmed from sloppy gameplay issues that could have been solved, but wouldn't, because Sonic wouldn't seem to exert any effort. From there, I complained that every time a game sucked, Sonic Team didn't conclude that they needed to exert more effort, but just that they needed a new idea for a game. I theorized that this was because even though they exerted lots of effort in the Adventure series, there were a lot of negative reactions to certain sorts of gameplay in them, such as mech-shooting and treasure-hunting, and so Sonic Team presumably decided to start making games with less effort, but "better" ideas. This, in turn, meant constant attempts to reinvent the series, with none of them being good, because reinvention in itself takes effort. (Though that wasn't the only reason they were bad).
That was then. Now, there's a new problem: Sonic Team has finally succeeded in reinvention. They've found a formula of gameplay they've stuck with; the boost-to-win type with constant running and grinding, almost no platforming, and frankly, almost no challenge of any kind; as pioneered by Dimps. said something about that, which I found very astute: Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic PS360 were not the worst things to happen to this series, because at the very least, they were so bad that Sonic Team resolved never to repeat such mistakes. In fact, so he held, Dimps was the worst thing to happen to this series, because they pioneered a sort of gameplay that isn't (technically) broken and enough people actually like, and now we'll never hear the end of it.
A major paradigm shift has occurred; I used to think the biggest problem influencing Sonic Team's new decisions was that people complained about them, but now, the problem is that people actually praise their games. Critics have praised Dimps' handheld, 2D games for about as long as they've dissed 3D Sonic gameplay, and so naturally, Sonic Team modeled their new 3D gameplay more and more after that, and naturally, critics have praised new 3D games more and more. Holy shit; people, but you've gone and proved Lenin right: A lie told enough does become the truth, or at least come as close as makes no difference. They, their critics, and presumably whoever still buys their dreck, have fully been subsumed in the myth that Sonic's roots consist of playing only as Sonic, and only running through Hot Wheels sets, and only mind-numbingly simple stories, and by that mistaken standard, they've concluded they finally have gotten back to their roots.
So what now? Some people look on Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost Worlds and conclude that Sonic Team is finally showing some ambition again, and doing something new; something other than speeding through slight-obstacles. Perhaps, and indeed, I can't imagine Sonic games getting much more boring than the Dimps mold they were stuck in, but look closely at what their big innovations are. I take one look, and can only see Mario. They've jacked Mario's powerup mechanic for Sonic Colors, and now, on top of bringing that back for Sonic Lost Worlds, they're also jacking the orbital gravity mechanic from Super Mario Galaxy. Now; I don't necessarily hate "clone" games the way some people do, and of course I like Mario, but the issue is that all of this stuff is being shoved in at the expense of stuff that was established, and it's all because Sonic Team believes they've brought back everything of value from the past; no unfinished business. So they're giving Sonic powerups that let him fly and dig, despite him having close friends who already can do that without powerups, and despite a large, and (with some people, at least) popular supporting cast, instead of using them, they've gone and put in a bunch of new characters that look like they were ripped from a seasonal Dreamworks movie.
This is the sort of shit I've seen before with too many series, and I wrote about it a long time ago. bahmo.deviantart.com/art/Reinv… Once again, however, the issue with Sonic Team has changed. Before, they just forgot what made them great; now they remember it incorrectly. They don't think they've cockslapped their fanbase, but they have. Just because you aren't adding stupid things like guns, lycantrhopy, and swords to your games anymore does not mean that they're in better standing; you need to start paying attention to the good things you removed.

A Shirtless Chord Overstreet Strips His Way Back On To 'Glee' [PHOTOS]
Last night's episode of Glee marked the return of Chord Overstreet's character Sam aka Trout Mouth.
Rachel and Finn discover that Sam is working as a stripper. Eventually, Rachel makes her presence known by handing Sam a dollar and they take him backstage to talk.
Sam admits that he's not happy to be working as a stripper, but hey, the money's good and covers all the extras at home. He confesses that he does want to return to glee club, but will his parents let him? As it turns out, they're so proud of his recent maturity, but don't want him to miss out on his teenage years – he can go back to Lima with Rachel and Finn. Yay!
PHOTOS: The 'Glee' Guys Get Their 'Grease' On
Glee is going to follow up on the Michael Jackson music from tonight's episode, which featured "Man in the Mirror" and The Jackson 5 song "ABC," as well as Janet Jackson's "Control." Yesterday, Glee creator Ryan Murphy devote a full episode of music to the King of Pop. It took time to talk the Jackson estate into the idea, but with their approval, the writers will fast track production on the episode so it will be ready to air on January 24.
The cast will shoot half of the episode before the holiday break and finish the rest in early January. TV Guide says to expect 10-12 of Jackson's songs to be featured.

Busy + Day's 3,4,5 Covered.
Monday, December 19, 2011
Blah! Gosh sometimes I'm so... scatty. I have plans in my head but I completely forget about other plans that are happening, and so the head plans are pushed out because the other plans have been properly made, and then I don't understand why the head plans didn't happen, even though I didn't have time because other plans were taking place! ...
Okay. Friday. No workout. This was NOT planned because I FORGOT about plans that were CONCRETE. I booked tickets months ago for the hubby and I to see Roy 'Chubby' Brown (Not everyone's cup of tea comedian) ... and I didn't realise it was over in Manchester. So we had to finish work, and get over to Manchester in time for the show. We also wanted to have a meal, as we'd planned to make this a little 'us' night back when we booked. To make it easier on ourselves, we booked a last minute hotel room in Manchester, so we rushed out of work, rushed to our hotel, changed, rushed to the show, went for a meal, got back to hotel and crashed out. We were so tired. Full week at work. I'd brought my workout stuff to do a hotel room workout before the show but time was zapped away too fast!!! In the morning it was another rush, rise and shine, breakfast, work (for the hubby) and last minute shopping for me!
BUT - There's a slight positive here. I did eat a meal on Friday night - but my breakfast in the hotel was SUPER choiced. I had a fruit salad plus a wholemeal piece of toast with honey. MAJOR proud of this because I can NEVER usually resist a full cooked breakfast on offer... and being in a hotel kind of puts you in the 'holiday' frame of mind, yet I was SENSIBLE! 10 points Steph!!!
Saturday. Good food choices again. Again I had the option of having a naughty lunch with my sister and niece... But I chose a 'superfood' salad consisting of seeds, quinoa, fruits & berries, AND I didn't use the dressing either. 10 points Steph!!!
Fail Saturday night, as the husband and I ordered in Indian food. :-/ Also no workout... Laziness set in Saturday night. So, no workout Friday or Saturday.
Sunday morning (Happy 65th Birthday Mum!) I expected to go to work, but it turned out I didn't have to (Yay!) - and I'd already done a quick 4 minute workout (day3) BodyRock plus the abs bonus, as I was stretched for time... found out I didn't have to work AFTER my shower, so didn't want to get sweaty again and need another shower.
Spent the day at my Mum's with my family, eating Mum's homemade foods. Stew, crusty bread, scones, birthday cake, oh and ... CHEESE PIE. I did not resist Mum's cooking at all. Thing was though, I felt great. I put something nice on and got a lot of compliments, and my good training through the week made me feel better and leaner and plain good.
Oh, I have some pics from yesterday... Let's see...
This is my outfit I was pleased with.
Calling Mrs. Vain, but I was happy with how my hair turned out yesterday too -
My lovely parents -
One of my Big Bruv's -
Aaaand of course. The epic cheese pie. My apologies.
Hah! Bit of a picture entry going on now! :P
So anyways - Monday!
I rushed to work. Blah. No breakfast. So for lunch I had Subway. I had sweet onion chicken terryaki - which is BETTER for me than other subs. PLUS... guess what? I so badly wanted a footlong sub - BUT i ordered and settled for a 6 inch sub. Some points for that? Yes please!
Really tired getting home as yesterday was such a long and lovely day (with the odd glass of champagne) and also I have had the sniffles all day long... so feeling a bit blah. Got changed and did Workouts 4 and 5 of BodyRock's Christmas challenge, and the abs bonus again. I improved the abs scores, so that's goooooooood. Also, I feel great now and am glad I did something.
I'm a little behind on C25K as I should have done Day 3 by now but haven't. Hopefully tomorrow.
I've gone on enough now! Time for a (magic) NightNurse and bed. Please go away cold!!

- Green Island shore excursion from Cairns
- Cruise between Cairns and Green Island by catarman
- View the coral and the abundant marine-life of the Great Barrier Reef from a glass-bottom boat
- Snorkel the clear waters of Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef
- Covered by Viator's worry-free policy: guaranteed on-time return to your ship
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
This is an excellent choice to see and experience the Great Barrier Reef. Whether you want to get wet or stay dry there are activities available to make the most of your time on Green Island.
What You Can Expect
Board your air-conditioned catamaran at the reef fleet terminal, and set off over the crystal-blue water to Green Island on the Great Barrier Reef.
During your hour-long cruise to Green Island, watch a snorkeling demonstration and an informative presentation on how to get the most of your time on this beautiful coral cay, just 15 nautical miles (27 kilometers) from Cairns.
Landing at Green Island in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, see how the island is topped with emerald rainforest and surrounded by white sandy beaches and magnificent coral reefs. The marine life includes endless varieties of colorful fish, turtles, giant clams, shells, starfish and sea anemones.
Spend a relaxing four hours on Green Island, and view the sea creatures on a glass-bottom boat tour or grab some snorkeling gear and dive into the water and see the marine life up close.
A range of optional activities can also be organized on the day, including an introductory scuba diving, Seawalker Helmet Dive and semi-submersible coral viewing tours (additional cost, paid locally).
While you're on the island, take a walk through the national park, following easy, short walking tracks. Or you might like to browse the shops and use the facilities at the Green Island Resort. The resort has showers, change rooms and restrooms, and canoes, surf skis, sailboards, shade umbrellas and beach lounge chairs are available for hire (at your own expense).
Food and drinks can be purchased on board the catamaran and on Green Island (own expense).
After spending a relaxing four hours on Green Island, enjoy the hour-long return cruise to Cairns, arriving at the terminal at 5pm.
Worry-free Shore Excursion:
We will ensure your excursion ends with ample time for you to return to the Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal for your ship's departure. In the extremely unlikely event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.
Customer Reviews
December 2013
Saw as expected
March 2016
The 1/2 day trip was good however, it was not long enough. Since we were only going to be in Cairns for a short period of time cruise ship this was the only excursion we could book. Green Island was great even though it rained and the glass bottom boat was good. I wish we could have snorkeled a little further out than was possible. I think if I ever go back, I would prefer to snorkel from a boat further on the great barrier reef. We could not experience the full beauty of the reef from the beach.
May 2014
This excursion was a good one but we were not able to enjoy the snorkeling because of the presence of stinging jellyfish that had sent many people to the hospital. We were told that the presence of the jelly fish was seasonal and we were forced to wear "sting suits" to enter the water. It is my opinion that we should have been told about the jellyfish season and. Had the option to cancel the tour. The day we were there a person was life flighted to the hospital because of jellyfish stings. The locals told us the presence of these jelly fish would soon come to an end. We would not have gone had we known of the risk. The setting, Green Island was a very nice place. The glass bottom boat trip lasted less than 15 minutes though. It was not the best experience.

The story written by the Plainfield South boys bowling team this year was of tragedy to triumph.
Tragedy leveled the squad when teammate Eric Brander was killed in a car accident December 11. Triumph came at the state meet Saturday when the Cougars captured the school and District 202's first team state championship of any kind.
"To sum it up in a few words would be truly amazing," junior Brandyn Andelbrandt said. "It was like a true Cinderella story. We won conference and now a state championship. There is really no other way to explain it."
"Eric gave this team inspiration," Plainfield South athletic director Bob Yanello said in a speech during a school pep rally Monday, which featured nearly 1,000 people. "Eric Brander will live in these guys and many of you forever. He was the deciding factor for these young men bringing home the state championship. They did it for Eric and he will live in them forever."
"What a wonderful season," South coach Jeff Bailey said. "Their goal was to do it and they stuck with it. I'm extremely proud of them."
"To do something for him and to win something like the state championship, that's not just a regular invite, it's not easy to do" Andelbrandt said. "They announced his name at the state tournament, which was great. It gave us goosebumps."
The team draped a medal around a large, white cross, which is part of a makeshift memorial for Brander on the south side of Caton Farm Road just east of Caton Ridge Road in far western Joliet.
"Five high school kids came together off a tragic accident to make something of the season," Andelbrandt said. "That's like a Cinderella story to me."
"They kept their emotions in check during the season knowing they lost a very important part of the team," Bailey said. "Now, they can let it all out and really grieve. They never really had a chance to grieve."
Plainfield South played with heavy hearts and with the memory of Brander alive and well in their souls as they steamrolled the competition at St. Clair Bowl in downstate O'Fallon to do what no other Plainfield team had done previously.
Brander, a senior, would have turned 18 years old Jan. 15, just days before the Cougars won their first Southwest Prairie Conference championship. A week later, South advanced to the state meet by taking second place at the loaded Lockport sectional.
Which brings us to the state meet where the top 24 teams and 30 additional individuals went at it during 12 games Friday and Saturday to determine who would wear the coveted crown of state champ. Like an ending reserved for a Hollywood movie, the Cougars rolled a 12,604 (1,050 average) pinfall for 12 games to secure the state championship.
Andelbrandt, Calvin Hendickson and Will Eklove each finished among the top 12 during the two-day tournament to earn all-state honors.
"I can't believe that. I can't believe that we are the first ones," Bailey said of bringing home the first state championship in any sport in District 202 history. "It's a big honor. They deserve every bit of attention they get. From the beginning of the season, they earned it. I'm very proud of these guys."

Pillow Wrap Pincushion w/ Lavender
Posted by HopeY on Friday, August 31st, 2012
Hello everyone my name is Hope Yoder and I own Designs By Hope Yoder www.HopeYoder.com. I'm sew excited to share a project tutorial I made especially for Riley Blake's Pincushion of the Week Club.
Materials Needed: Polka Dot Stitches by Riley Blake
- Button~Ups Fabric Button Cover Machine Model HY_Z100 & 1" sew-on buttons www.HopeYoder.com
- (2) 2 ¼" squares of Polka Dot Doily Blue
- (2) 4 ½" squares of Polka Dot Daisy Blue
- (2) 2 ¼" triangles of Polka Dot Daisy Red
- (2) 2 ¼" triangles of Polka Dot Designer Cloth Blue
- (2) 1 ¼" x 4 ¾" strips of Polka Dot Words Blue
- 2 1/8" x 45" of Polka Dot Stripe Blue (binding straight of grain)
- 14" x 5" cotton batting
- 14" x 5" fabric for lining
- 8" x 6" of Clean White (pillow front)
- (2) 6" x 5 ½" of Clean White (pillow backs)
- Polly fill & 4" hook and loop tape
- Dried lavender
- Steam A Seam 2 ¼" roll and pre-cut sheets
- Accuquilt Go Dies: Go Value Die (Item 55018) and Go Rose of Sharon (Item 55045)
- Lightly starch all fabrics that you will die cut. Use the Accuquilt Value Go die to cut all the squares and triangles. If you don't have the die, cut the squares to the size listed above.
- How to cut a pattern for the triangles if not using a die: Cut a 2 ¼" square from paper and then cut across the diagonal to form two equal triangles. Cut a piece of paper and tape along the diagonal edge so it extends ¼" past the cut edge to add a ¼" seam allowance to the diagonal edge. Use this pattern to cut all triangles.
Step 2 ~ Piece it together
- Please note all seams are a scant ¼" unless otherwise noted.
- Lay triangles and 2 ½" squares out as shown and sew triangles together to form blocks. Sew top row to bottom row matching up center seams.
- Sew a strip to top and bottom making sure text faces the same direction. Add 4 ½" squares to each end as shown.
- Add batting and lining fabric to the wrong side of the finished top so right side of the lining faces out. To quilt it all together, on the right side, stitch in the ditch along the previous seams in the center block and on the strips. For the end 4 ½" squares, draw a line down the center and stitch over drawn line and then quilt parallel rows spacing them ¾" apart. Square up all sides with a rotary cutter as shown below.
Step 3 Embellished Flower & Button
- Fuse 2 scraps of the same color fabric together using Steam A Seam 2 so both right sides are facing out. Use Go Rose of Sharon die to cut out one flower and two small leaves (using doubled sided fused fabric.) Bartack leaves towards the center of the block so the stitches will be hidden when the flower is added. Bartack tiny stitches in very center of the flower just to hold it in place before adding the covered button. Use the fabric button cover machine to make a 1" sew-on button. Using a fabric button cover machines give you super duper perfect crimped edges with nor overlaps or wrinkled fabric. For more info on the button machines, click here!
- Use a hand sewing needle to add the fabric covered button to the center of the flower.
Binding Edges
- Folding binding in half wrong sides together and press. Add binding on one short edge off center.
- For a detailed step-by-step tutorial on creating and sewing binding, visit my blog at http://hopeyoder.blogspot.com/2012/08/binding-tutorial-how-to-make-apply.html
- After the binding is complete, sew hook and loop tape to each short edge of the 4 1/2" square (one piece is on right side, the other is on the wrong side.)
Make The Pillow
- Turn under a short edge on the back pieces ¼" twice, press and topstitch.
- Overlap the two backs and pin right sides together to the pillow front so all raw edges are even and matching.
- Sew around the pillow and turn right side out.
- Stuff with poly fill adding about ½ cup of dried lavender.

I am hoping to get some current recommendations for family therapists in the Berkeley/Albany area. After much consideration, I have decided to separate from my pre-teen son's dad. As a child of parents that probably should have divorced but stayed together for the kids, I haven't experienced divorce. However, I did experience how unhealthy it can be to stay together when the relationship isn't working. I tried everything to make my relationship work. But, it's clear we aren't successful. My ex doesn't agree and thinks I'm crazy for wanting to put effort into going to therapy to learn how to separate/co-parent instead of wanting to try and make our relationship work. My son, an only child, has very few friends whose parents are divorced. He feels he has no one to talk to. He is wary, but open to therapy. I would appreciate your recommendations for therapists in the Berkeley/Albany area that are experienced helping families navigate divorce, co-parenting, and supporting pre-teens through divorce. We are on a limited income, so sliding scale or low cost fees are appreciated - although I would pay full cost/expensive fees for the right person. The best fit for our needs takes priority over cost. Many thanks. Family in transition
We have been having incredible success with Holly Forman at Bay Area Children First (BACF) (on Rose & Shattuck) in Berkeley. The whole process has really helped the whole family. Working with her has helped me put myself aside and really do what's right for my kids. It's hard, but helps to have someone like Holly who is completely concerned with the welfare of my sons! I highly recommend Bay Area Children First. Holly is so amazing, I'm sure other counselors there are, too!
Whatever you and your husband decide, couples counseling would probably be beneficial for the two of you. If you go to counseling and work things out, great; if you go to counseling and decide to separate, great - because you will still have to deal with each other either way. Actually being civil after an unhappy marriage is the hard part.
If nothing else, perhaps you could seek therapy/counseling for yourself. I've been going to personal counseling since my separation, and my oldest son has been in play-therapy for a year. I just started couple's counseling with my current partner - and it's really amazing. Amazingly difficult, but wonderful.
We don't have a lot of money, but have found great counselors on a budget (after one fail) at BACF and SafeStart/TALK Line Family Support Center (in SF, I've been going there for individual for 3 years).

My daughter is 4.5, almost 5 years old. Her father and I recently told her we were moving to new homes. She took it well initially, but recently has been experiencing rather extreme tantrums. She cries easily and quickly escalates to tantrums. I want a play therapist with experience with young children to help her deal with all her emotions. I know that this will pass in time, and we are all adjusting, but want to insure she gets all the love and support she needs. anon
Does anybody have a recommendation for a child psychologist to counsel a teen in the setting of divorce? Any recommendations will be appreciated. anon
I'm helping a friend look for a therapist for her
12-year-old son. The parents are divorced and their son now
seems ''ready to talk'' about that and various other family
and school issues. They have a short list of therapists who
are covered by their insurance plan and considered ''good'' by
their behavioral pediatrician:
Mary C. Heller (Piedmont Ave. in Oakland),
Lenora Poe (Blake St. in Berkeley),
Joan Wenters (Solano in Albany)
Do any of you know anything about any of these three? Can you make a recommendation one way or another? Any info would be appreciated! Dana
My husband and I are in the process of dissolving our marriage. We are still living together but are essentially separated. It is amicable at this point. My daughter is about to leave for college in the fall and is clearly struggling with her feelings. I am trying to be supportive but she needs more than her parents to talk to. Anyone have recommendations for a therapist good with teen girls and divorcing families. anon
Six months ago i separated from my husband of 15 years. I would like to find a therapist to help my daughters, ages 8 and 5, through this period. Does anybody have recommendations for a good child therapist in the Berkeley/Oakland area? I have strong preference for therapists who take MHN. anon
I think that my 7- and 9-year olds could benefit from a trained person to help them cope with the divorce of their parents. I know about TURN. Looking for recommendations.
My family is going through a terrible divorce. My 11 year old son has had his father walk out and break up the family, his sister leave for college, is entering a new middle school and is adopted and has learning issues. I'm looking for a supportive group with an experienced therapist to help him work through his anger and saddness and help him to develop coping skills. I believe it would be extremely helpful for him to be part of a childrens group and to understand that he isn't alone in his experience and that he will get through this and be OK. He is a great kid and I want to help him any way that I can. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. S.
I am looking for a referral for a child therapist/psychologist who has expertise with children of divorce. I would like to work with someone to evaluate custody plans, advice on issues if arise with child, communications about divorce with child and if necessary to see child. Has anyone had experience with Dr. Ellen Singer or Dr. Marie Claire Hefron? Anonymous
Can anyone wholeheartedly recommend a therapist for my 16 year old niece? She has expressed the desire to see one (I'm thrilled). She is *very* smart and, on the whole, very well adjusted. She moved here this past August and her parents are going through a messy divorce - the culmination of her whole life of watching her parents be horribly dysfunctional. Her father is seriously awful.
I would like recommendation of psychologist who specializes in giving good info to adults who are considering/in throes of divorce, especially ones who know child psychology and can give advice on childrens issues. I want someone who will give me good facts more than anything.
My husband and I are going through a divorce and I'm seeking help for our 4 year old child.
He has about three 8-week sessions per year at a cost of I believe $60. He is extremely compassionate and loving, uses art and games to draw out the children's feelings. My 7 year old daughter likes it a lot and always begs to go. He MAY have an Oakland location, too. His number in Lafayette is 925/299-0924. Mari
"... tell her that she should sign herself and her child up for Kid's Turn, which does psychoeducational groups for divorced and separating families (415-437-0700). She can also call Kaiser to find out what her mental health benefits are and then ask her pediatrician for referrals to a Kaiser therapist that works with kids. If that doesn't work then she can call WestCoast Children's Center (527-7249) and if they can't see them they can refer out. Hope this is helpful.

The Coriolis effect is a well-known phenomenum, important in meteorology and ocean current forecasting. In addition to location (latitude), it depends on velocity and duration. I assume that commercial aircraft autopilot inertial guidence systems have the ability to compensate for Coriolis, and that even intercontinental missiles are designed with guidance systems that provide Coriolis capability for target accuracy. Was it necessary to provide space shuttles a means to deal with the Coriolis effect during re-entry?
I am not particularly an expert either, but my understanding is that shuttle flight is a very active process compared to ballistic motion, so any effects the Coriolis effect might have can just as well be considered as additional errors in the trajectory, which is being adjusted. There's an active feedback loop at work: "observe flightpath -> identify desired corrections -> correct and observe."
Contrast this with pure ballistic motion (e.g., a cannonball), where only initial quantities can be manipulated, and you have to account for this if it's significant (i.e., naval artillery charts).
OK, this isn't really an answer since I honestly don't know what the answer is but I Googled "shuttle autopilot coriolis effect" and the 2nd link was this:
Design of the space shuttle digital autopilot and resulting dynamic environment
"CORIOLIS EFFECT" is one of the key words for the document. It's old and not available digitally but you can request it.
I am not an expert either, but I think the answer is still simpler than the one that James provided. First of all, the Coriolis effect is only mysterious if you think that your spot on the earth is stationary with respect to say, the sun. Once you acknowledge that a spot on the earth is moving you can take this into account with cannonballs and airplanes alike (they are both trying to hit moving targets). That is, we know that an airplane shouldn't fly from Miami to NY city and shoot for where NY currently is when it leaves Miami, but where it will be in the approximate time it will take to get to the latitude of NY city. For cannonballs we only get to make the choice once, when we shoot it, but for airplanes we can constantly adjust. HOWEVER - if we shoot for where NY city will be in a given time instead of constantly adjusting, we will have a much more efficient flight path that if we constantly adjust to where NY is instantaneously. Thats not to say airplanes don't adjust their flight paths, they can and do, but I would say they use this for instantaneous and evolving flight conditions, rather than something they can easily anticipate - NY city will have 'moved' by the time the flight gets there.

A group of ten of us decided to go out for dinner at Uncle Julio's Rio Grande Café on a Saturday and reservations were made prior to arrival for 8:00pm. Everyone arrived on time and we were told it would be a few minutes. Some of the ladies decided to wait in a bar while others captured moments outside and took pictures because it was only going to be a few moments. Two coronas later the patience subsided and a guest in our party went to the manager to find out what happened as we realized an hour had past. The only thing we were told is the current large party did not get up yet. I find this to be unacceptable as an answer because we had reservations. We were finally seated to be put by the kitchen which a member in our group pointed out so the traffic was our entertainment for the night.
Not once did the manager come by and apologize, offer free beverages or dessert. Talk about good customer service. If you have a large party I would not recommend this restaurant. I think from a management perspective an apology would have been appreciated but it seems like the manager that night could have cared less. Customer service is very important and all staff include management should be retrained. When you go out with your friends and family and are a paying customer you expect Great Service and a Great Experience. Fortunately the waiter we had was excellent as he was attentive and quick with our orders and with great company we got over the wait period but shall never forget and will not return.
Food: Chicken Fajitas and Veggie Quesadillas were good and well prepared
Cost: Pricey (You will spend at least 20 dollars)
Service: Management Poor
Wait Staff: Fortunately had a good waiter
Would I go again? Not eager to dine there again

It was just a few short weeks ago that Xavier Woods came to the ring on "WWE Monday Night Raw" and talked to Big E and Kofi Kingston about standing up for themselves and a faction was born. There was no name for the faction, but they did show up the next week to watch the tag team champions The Usos, looking like Big E and Kofi Kingston might be getting a tag team title shot with Xavier Woods as their mouthpiece. Now, Rajah.com reported on Sunday that the faction might be dead.
The problem with the new faction is that comparisons immediately started between this new unnamed faction and the Nation of Domination. The Nation was a group that played off the racial tensions following the Rodney King and OJ Simpson events and was a huge faction in WWE history. The new faction has no such history to play off of and unless the WWE ignored the racial tones and just focused on wrestlers who were pushed aside, it was bound to flounder. Now, it might be over with before it started.
The first thought that the faction was going to fizzle out came when they missed the past few WWE shows together as a group. It would seem that a faction like this would need to get pushed hard early for it to pick up steam. To just fade away after three television shows did not bode well. Also, on house shows, Big E wrestled as a solo face on "Smackdown" last week and Kofi Kingston is still wrestling as a face. Finally, Xavier Woods is still wrestling with his old gimmick, although he is testing a new edge.
With that said, it looks like the new faction might have already been dumped by creative. Over the last year, the WWE creative team has stalled and dumped a number of new ideas and this might be the most recent. The word backstage is that there are few ideas on how to move this idea forward and create a legitimate group out of it. If that is the case, then the new Xavier Woods faction was just another failed WWE attempt at launching something new.

College Hockey:Zajac Scores Two as Union Crushes Princeton
Buote Also Notches tgwo
PRINCETON, N.J. — Kelly Zajac and Andrew Buote scored two goals apiece to lead No. 17 Union College to a 7-3 victory tonight at Princeton University.
Union (11-4-5, 5-0-3 ECAC) won its third straight game, while Princeton (6-9-2, 3-7-1 ECAC) saw its four-game unbeaten streak end.
The host Tigers continued their season-long wounded ways and dressed only 17 skaters for the contest, including just three centers, but Princeton coach Guy Gadowsky didn't pin the loss on injuries.
"We were beaten by a harder-working, better team," he said. "The score was pretty indicative."
Keith Kinkaid made 37 saves for Union, which was outshot 40-33. Alan Reynolds finished with 26 stops for Princeton, including 13 saves in the first period alone.
"The fact that we were able to win kind of shows what we can do, but we have a lot of respect for Princeton," said Union coach Nate Leaman. "They put so many pucks on net and shoot a lot on the first touch, and fortunately Keith was able to stand tall."
Both teams scored their first goals when their opponent was unable to clear the puck out of their own defensive zone. Princeton broke on top at 8:19 when rookie defenseman Michael Sdao kept the puck in at the left point and fired a shot that beat Kinkaid on the stick side.
Union responded at 10:58, as Buote jumped on a loose puck in the right circle and wristed a shot past Reynolds on the far side, after John Simpson had kept the puck in the Princeton end.
The Dutchmen then went ahead for good early in the second stanza. Zajac took a pass from Greg Coburn and skated into the left circle and held the puck for a few moments before his wrist shot beat Reynolds stickside at 4:17.
Jason Walters then made it 3-1 three minutes later with his 12th goal of the year, as he put home his own rebound off a scramble in front of the Princeton net.
"We knew to generate offense, we needed to get some traffic in front," said Leaman.
The Tigers got back within a goal with the teams skating four-on-four, after Union's Brian Yanovitch and Princeton's Matt Arhontas were sent off 10 seconds apart for boarding and interference, respectively. Princeton defenseman Taylor Fedun dropped down from the point and cut through the low slot, right to left, before he put a backhander up into the top of the net at 17:55 to make it a 3-2 affair. Mark Magnowski drew the lone assist on the play.
Princeton then got into penalty trouble, taking a pair back-to-back, and it cost the Tigers with just under a minute left in the period. Union's Mario-Valery Trabucco took a pass from Mike Schreiber at the right point in a five-on-three power-play situation and skated to his right before letting go with a shot through a screen that found the back of the net at 19:09 for his 11th goal.
"You have to work for your breaks," said Gadowsky. "When you don't have the puck, you tend to take more penalties, and that's what happened."
The Tigers weathered the rest of the two-man disadvantage in the third period and again closed the gap to one, as leading scorer Dan Bartlett snuck one past Kinkaid from the right circle at 8:24 for his team-best 12th goal, assisted by Eric Meland.
The Dutchmen then responded with back-to-back tallies to put the game away. Zajac converted a breakaway pass from Buote at 11:46, and Stephane Boileau blasted home a one-timer from the left circle at 12:19 on a power play, assisted by Simpson and Coburn, for a 6-3 lead.
"'Bootsie' made a great play," said Zajac. "He made a tape-to-tape pass, like he always does."
Princeton pulled Reynolds several times for an extra attacker in the closing minutes, but Buote closed out the scoring on an empty-netter with 59 seconds left.
"We have a good group of guys," said Zajac. "We believe in each other."

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- How is this for a story line?
The University of Iowa and Louisiana State University (LSU) will hold a rematch in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 in Tampa, Fla., nine seasons after the greatest final play in Hawkeye football history.
Iowa (8-4 overall, 5-3 Big Ten Conference) will face the Tigers (9-3, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) for a second time in history. The Hawkeyes won the first meeting, 30-25, in the 2005 Capital One Bowl in Orlando. That game ended when quarterback Drew Tate connected with receiver Warren Holloway for a 56-yard touchdown pass as time expired.
You can link to the 2005 game recap on hawkeyesports.com by clicking HERE.
LSU is 1-0 in neutral-site games this season, but 1-3 on the road with losses at Georgia (44-41), Mississippi (27-24) and Alabama (38-17). Iowa thrived on the road, winning 4-of-5 away from Kinnick Stadium. The only setback away from home came at Ohio State, where the Buckeyes needed to score 10 fourth-quarter points to win 34-24.
There will be at least one obvious similarity between the 2005 and 2014 meetings. In 2005, LSU used JaMarcus Russell, a backup quarterback, to bring the Tigers from a 24-12 deficit to take a 25-24 lead with 46 seconds remaining. LSU will rely on a backup signal-caller this season as well. Zach Mettenberger suffered a torn ACL and an MCL sprain during the Tigers' 31-27 victory Nov. 29 over Arkansas. Mettenberger completed 64.9-percent of his passes for 3,082 yards and 22 touchdowns. He will be replaced by Anthony Jennings who has completed 6-of-10 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown.
Offensive weapons for LSU include running backs Jeremy Hill (1,206 yards, 14 touchdowns) and Terrence Magee (614 yards, eight touchdowns), and two 1,000-yard receivers in Jarvis Landry (75 catches, 1,1172 yards, 10 touchdowns) and Odell Beckham (57 catches, 1,117 yards, eight touchdowns). Kicker Colby Delahoussaye has scored a team-high 92 points on 53-of-54 PATs and 13-of-14 field goals.
While the Tiger offense averages 37 points a game, the defense surrenders an average of two touchdowns fewer.
Iowa will bring an offense to Florida that seeks balance but leans on the running game. The Hawkeyes have called 864 plays on offense with 519 of those being running plays and 345 resulting in a pass attempt. Head coach Kirk Ferentz's squad has scored 18 touchdowns via the air, 17 on the ground.
Iowa will enter its fourth Outback Bowl as one of the nation's best on defense. The Hawkeyes are particularly skilled at shutting down a running game and they have limited their 12 opponents of the 2013 season to just 4.6 yards per play and only 3.5 yard per rush.
In previous Outback Bowl appearances, Iowa defeated South Carolina (31-10) following the 2008 season and Florida (37-17) after the 2003 campaign. The Hawkeyes lost to Florida following the 2005 season (31-24).
Iowa has posted a 14-11-1 record in 26 previous bowl appearances, including winning three of its last four bowl games.

Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis has been officially ruled out of Monday night's game against Atlanta in the Superdome. Linebacker Scott Fujita (calf) is listed as questionable, but he has not practiced for two weeks. Cornerback Tracy Porter (foot) practiced fully on Friday and is listed as probable.
The Saints have not offered a specific timetable on Ellis' recovery. But Coach Sean Payton said it's a sprained knee and it's not as serious as the meniscus tear that sidelined Ellis for three games last year.
"I was encouraged with his first week of rehab," Payton said. "So hopefully it's sooner than later."
Ellis' absence will mean more snaps for backup tackles Anthony Hargrove and Kendrick Clancy, who returned from his own knee injury two weeks ago.
Hargrove had perhaps his best performance of the season last week when he replaced Ellis in the second quarter at Miami. He finished the game with two sacks, three tackles-for-loss and two quarterback hurries.
"It's just doing what I do in practice," said Hargrove, who credited defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and defensive line coach Bill Johnson for preparing him. "And when I get out there, I see exactly what they're telling me. And getting out and making plays early defeinitely helped my confidence."
The Falcons, meanwhile, might be thin at tailback. Both backups Jerious Norwood (hip) and Jason Snelling (hamstring) are listed as questionable after missing practice all week. Atlanta signed former Saints veteran Aaron Stecker as a potential fill-in.

Employment Articles in Hayward, Wisconsin by Harry Urschel
Never Give Up!
by Harry Urschel - Jan, 2014
Quite a while ago, I wrote a piece titled… I can't get a job because… In it, I made the case that people aren't truly affected in their job search by various forms of discrimination as commonly as they may think they are. Often, when people are unwilling to face personal shortcomings in their attitude, experience, job search approach, interview skills, or other factors they could improve, it's easier for them to d...
Staying Viable After a "No"

The point of the article was that it's not unusual for a company to be interested in hiring a particular candidate even after they rejected them for a position they were initially pursuing.

The Power of a Referral

A recent example reminded me of the amazing power of a referral in a job search. When it works as it should, nothing comes close to making for a better hiring experience for a job seeker! Hiring a new employee is one of the hardest things for an employer... A great hire can have an immeasurable positive impact on a team and on an organizations success. A poor hire can sour a team, set back progress, and have a treme...
Fill 'Er Up!
by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2013
Keeping a full pipeline of job opportunities you are pursuing is one of the best ways to maintain a positive mental attitude, take away fear and worry, and avoid great discouragement in your job search! Too often, job seekers slow down their networking and hunting efforts once they are in process of being considered for a particular position. When that position never materializes, it can feel like a tremendous blow, especi...
Spell it Out!
by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2013
Much has been written about preparing for job interviews. However, one aspect of preparation that I can't emphasize enough, and that hardly ever occurs is… writing out answers to potential interview questions in advance! When the vast majority of people prepare for job interviews, they vaguely think… "If I'm asked about _________, I'll talk about ______________." However, they never actually articulate an answer o...
Take this Prize or Wait for Door #3 in Your Job Search?
by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2013
One of the most difficult things for a job seeker to deal with, is when job offers don't come at the same time! In an ideal world, you would receive all potential offers on the same day. You could lay them out on your dining room table, create your pro/con lists, and make the most rational decision of which offer to accept. The reality, in the vast majority of cases, is that an offer comes, and other potential offers ar...
Breaking the rules in your job search
by Harry Urschel - Oct, 2013
There's a bumper sticker quote I see from time to time that always makes me smile… Well behaved women rarely make history I like it, because it's true not just for women, but for virtually anyone that makes a positive impact in the world. Greatness and success rarely comes about by simply following all the rules. It's by doing the unexpected, outside the norm, by not following the set patterns that people break out and a...
Going too far outside the box in your job search
by Harry Urschel - Oct, 2013
Getting employers' attention in today's job market it no easy task! When organizations get dozens, or hundreds of applicants for each job opening, it's hard to get noticed even if you're a perfect fit. Being unique in some way, doing something attention-grabbing, or getting creative is one way to rise to the top. Taking the idea too far, however, can hurt more than it can help. What are some things to consider?...
How Low Can You Go?
by Harry Urschel - Oct, 2013
Two conversations I've had with job seekers recently helped me to consider another aspect of salary negotiations. I've written on the topic before in: Always Ask For More… Right? There you will find a great deal of practical advice on how to land where you'd like to land. However, what do you do when an offer comes in extremely low compared to expectations? What options do you have? Here are some observat...
Take a job or build a career?
by Harry Urschel - Oct, 2013
From time to time I have a question come from job seekers along the lines of… If I take this job, how will it look on my resume for the next time around? It's certainly a valid question to ask… but one that usually has no easy answer! When making decisions regarding job offers and career paths, the choices are very personal and often driven by immediate circumstances. There are a number of things to consider…...

Participate in research!
Getting to 10,000 is important because as any researcher will tell you, there is strength in numbers. Drawing from such a large pool of patients gives power to the research.Having what is already the world's largest Parkinson's community for genetic research helped us discover new genetic variants associated with Parkinson's — including a potentially protective factor.Parkinson's is an extremely complex disease. Uncovering more about the role genetics plays in Parkinson's could provide valuable information about the development of the disease and how to combat it. Last year 23andMe found two new genetic associations with Parkinson's and more recently found a genetic variant in the gene SGK1 that is potentially protective against the disease. With the help of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the Scripps Research Institute is following up the SGK1 discovery with lab studies that we hope will lead to new treatments.Check out some of our other recent posts on Parkinson's:

K-0 and Uston SS counts?
Posted by Brian Flanagan on Monday, 2 February 1998, at 2:38 p.m.
Let me get this straight, does K-O, which requires no true count conversion really outperform High - Low in both betting correlation and playing efficiency?
-- Also, I understand that the Uston SS is an unbalanced count too, does it require true count conversion?
--How does the Uston SS stack up against K-O? Is ordering it from Gambling Times the only way to get the Uston SS system including strategy tables and betting procedurest? I know that you could generate strategy tables for it with Wong's BJ Count Analyzer software, but I have no idea how to bet with an unbalanced count.

Is is possible? What is the easiest (most hassle-free) way of accomplishing this?
To recover your entire system:
1) Connect your Time Machine backup disk to your computer.
If you're restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, make sure the disk has been repaired or replaced.
2) Insert your Mac OS X Install disk, and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
3) In the Installer, choose Utilities > Restore System from Backup.
4) In the Restore Your System dialog, click Continue.
5) Select your Time Machine backup volume.
6) Select the Time Machine backup you want to restore.
7) Follow the onscreen instructions.
In 10.7 and later you can start up from the recovery system and choose Restore From Time Machine Backup.
Or if the backup was made on a different Mac, Apple recommends using Migration Assistant. See Mac Basics: Time Machine:
The easiest way would be to start 'Migration Assistant' under Applications/Utilities and then select Time Machine (of course, having it already mounted). This will create a new account with all your entire working data and configuration (on any mac).

CLEVELAND (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Removing a brain tumor can be tricky for surgeons and painful for patients. Now there's a new way to take out these lesions as surgeons are using the nose as a pathway to the brain.
A few months ago just walking his dog would have been too much for Robert Matthews. Tests showed that he had a large, non-cancerous tumor pressing on his brain.
"I wasn't stable walking. My speech was slurred. I used to always have these migraines, and they were bad." Matthews told Ivanhoe.
His doctor said he needed a craniotomy which involves making a large incision to open the skull and going deep in the brain to remove the tumor, but then Cleveland Clinic surgeons told him about a new option.
"Essentially, we use the nose as a channel or a pathway to get up to the brain." Said Dr. Raj Sindwani, Otolaryngologist at the Cleveland Clinic.
Two surgeons enter through the patient's nose and cut a tiny opening in the brain covering. They use special instruments to remove the lesion through the small hole. Instead of a cut from ear to ear, the internal incision is just two centimeters. Surgeons don't have to disrupt the frontal lobes in the brain. That means less pain and a faster recovery, four to six weeks instead of three to six months.
"These surgeries are like a finely orchestrated dance. They require two surgeons to be operating, with four hands through the nose." Dr. Recinos, Neurosurgeon at the Cleveland Clinic told Ivanhoe.
Matthews hasn't had any symptoms since his surgery. Now he can enjoy his pets without any pain.
Not everyone with a brain tumor is a candidate for this procedure. The patient's tumor has to be at the base of the skull. Although this surgery is less risky than a craniotomy, there is a chance patients could lose their sense of smell or experience a decreased sense of smell. MORE.

Would Have Approved!

Subject: WebMaster:_Positive_Atheism_Index
I have been browsing through your site, I am glad to see so much information and rational thinking abounding from more freethinkers. Mrs. O'Hair would approve.
From: "Positive Atheism" <firstname.lastname@example.com>

Subject: Re: WebMaster:_Positive_Atheism_Index

Hope so, Ms. O'Hair really cracked that whip, from what I hear!
Most of all, though, I think she would approve of the fact that I'm actually trying to improve what she started, to branch off and do some things differently from the way she did them. What I think she would most approve of would be that I have studied what she did, and have noted what it did and did not accomplish. I make changes according to both my personal values plus what I think might work better.
Finally, she and I have a common root in that we both were more or less thrown into this work by the sheer injustice of the culture and the system, she by the prayer case and I having been held in jail for refusing to undergo Twelve-Step religious instruction. After that, I spent almost ten years working both directly and indirectly to put an end to that one practice.
Actually, I don't like Atheists very much -- at least most of them -- because they are not motivated to move into the community and attempt to correct the injustices which are everywhere apparent against them.

New Lithium-Ion Batteries from Metabo Run Longer, Last Longer33% longer run time and life for improved productivity
WEST CHESTER, Pa. June 2012 - Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, has introduced new lithium-ion batteries that run 33% longer and have an increased lifespan of 33% over traditional rechargeable batteries. The Ultra-M 4.0 Ah batteries come with a variety of Metabo's cordless power tools, including the W18 LTX 4 1/2" angle grinder, the SB18 LTX 1/2" hammer drill and the BS18 LTX increasing productivity and lowering overall operation costs.
As with all lithium-ion batteries, the Ultra-M 4.0 Ah does not have a memory effect. It can be charged at the user's convenience without having to wait for the battery to totally discharge and does not lose any of its charging capability.
These lightweight, compact batteries feature Metabo's patented air-cooled charging technology that cools the battery pack to a level temperature during charging using guided air flow ducting.
This unique charging technology increases productivity by shortening the charging process and helps sustain the life of the battery by keeping individual cells cooler during the charging process.
The Ultra-she Ultra batteries, the Ultra M 4.0 Ah batteries feature Metabo's state-of-the-art cell monitoring system, Electronic Single Cell Protection (ESCP), that electronically monitors the individual cells during the charging and discharging process to prevent damage as well as to prolong battery life. The batteries and charger are covered by Metabo's three-year warranty; if they don't charge, they are replaced at no cost.
