Bravo became interested in photography at the age of twenty. His prolific career began in the thriving artistic climate of post-revolutionary Mexico alongside artists Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Bravo's interest in Surrealist aesthetics and imagery is reflected in his photographs, which capture vignettes from everyday life replete with symbolic and metaphoric messages. Fellow photographer Paul Strand described Bravo's work as "rooted firmly in his love and compassionate understanding of his own country, its people, their problems and their needs...He is a man who has mastered a medium which he respects meticulously and uses to speak with warmth about Mexico."

Garden designer Gordon Hayward, author of nine books on gardening, shares tips for how to care for crabapple trees.
Garden designer Gordon Hayward, author of nine books on gardening, advises doing some research before buying any crabapple, since not all varieties are equally suited to every garden setting. Most important, look for one that ranks high in resistance to apple scab, a disease that results in disfigured foliage and premature leaf drop. Other factors to consider are the color of its blooms and fruit and how well it retains its fruit.
The tree's mature dimensions are also important. Many gardeners buy any type of crabapple and think they'll be able to prune it to their preferred size. If you want a crabapple to suit the scale of your small garden, however, don't rely on pruning. Instead, look for a crabapple that has been bred to mature to your desired height and width. For example, Malus 'Tina' matures naturally at 6 feet high and wide; the new 'Lollizam' reaches maturity at 10 feet high and wide.
Now, that's not to say you should never prune your trees–but note that correct technique is essential. "To encourage abundant flowers, I use restraint in pruning a crabapple," Gordon notes. "I do primary pruning in January or February, when the tree is dormant." What results from this minimal pruning is a crabapple with an open interior, thick branching, and stems on the exterior. Here's the sequence he follows.
How to Care for Crabapple Trees
1. Prune all vertical "water sprouts" growing up from interior branches.
2. Then remove any interior branches that are growing back into the center of the tree, cutting back to the trunk.
3. Next, prune just a few exterior branches that are shaded by overhanging branches, as well as any low branches that impede mowing or walking. Don't cut near the ends of branches.
4. In summer, cut vertical water sprouts and shoots coming up from the base of the tree.
5. Avoid pruning branch tips. If you make such cuts, numerous latent buds near those cuts will break and produce new shoots–your tree will resemble a porcupine.

Waiting for a call-back on a story for The Alamance News*, making corrections to my book, and talking with an artist about a new cover, I am working. But am I writing?
My 14-year-old is sick so my 28-year-old wants me to watch my grand-baby at her apartment. "But, what can I do there with no Internet?" I asked. "Oh," I answered myself doubtfully, "I could write."
Keeping up with Facebook, LinkedIn, and blogs is important to friendships, careers and book sales, but it is NOT writing.
How much time are you actually writing? Keep track. The zeros might scare you into productivity. Go write something!
* Publisher of The Alamance News in the news! The Alamance News, the paper I write for, is a weekly newspaper exclusively covering Alamance County, NC, USA. They/we don't have a Web site yet (time for hard news only) so looking for a reference, I found this story (link above). Cool. The media at work.Writer Regards,

AUSTIN, Texas — There have been five incidents in the last six months where patients' health records have made their way out of some of Texas' 10 public psychiatric facilities, according to a review of state records by a newspaper.
In one incident, an employee at Big Spring State Hospital in West Texas was fired after officials alleged she walked out of the facility with 50 patients' protected health records, the Austin American-Statesman reported (http://bit.ly/1i0pZ2H ) Sunday.
In the other cases, which involved a total of about a dozen patients, officials determined that the breaches were caused by mistakes.
"This can't happen," said Christine Mann, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, which oversees the hospitals. "Our patients deserve privacy and expect that their information is kept confidential. We're doing everything we can to figure out what happened and how to address it."
Dr. Deborah Peel, the Austin founder of Patient Privacy Rights, a national watchdog group focused on the protection of medical records, said the multiple incidents at the Texas hospitals indicate a pattern of problems that raise questions about the hospital system's ability to keep patient records safe.
"Incidents like this broadcast loud and clear that the place I go for help might not keep my information safe," Peel said.

The Business of Baby and the Monkey Business of Margulis
A correspondent asked for my opinion of a new book by journalist Jennifer Margulis that is apparently getting a lot of attention in some circles: The Business of Baby: What Doctors Don't Tell You, What Corporations Try to Sell You, and How to Put Your Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Before Their Bottom Line. I got a copy from the library and read it. It was a painful experience. One of the customer reviews on the Amazon website accurately sums up my own reaction:
There is a great need for an incisive look at all sides of modern maternity care in the United States, because — let's face it — we all know it's not perfect. This, however, is not that book.
The author is a strong advocate of home birth, water birth, midwives, "embracing the pain to make you stronger," "parents know better than doctors," natural = good, and very early potty training. She thinks bathing a newborn is harmful. She questions the need for well baby checkups: she thinks they are mainly a gimmick to sell vaccines. She questions the (science-based) practice of giving newborns vitamin K and prophylactic eye drops. She is against the use of chemicals in general. She reports that Johnson's Baby Wash contains "a host of unpronounceable chemicals, some of which are known toxins…and carcinogens." She doesn't seem to have grasped the basic principle of toxicology that the poison is in the dose. She is against formula, which she says is killing babies, and against disposable diapers because they contain chemicals and petroleum and because they can cause your child to become infertile. Her only evidence for "infertility" is one study showing that disposable diapers raise scrotal temperatures. Indeed, plastic underpants are probably warm.

Faith Healing
Faith healing is based on belief and is about as far as you can get from science-based medicine, but it is not exempt from science. If it really worked, science would be able to document its cures and would be the only reliable way to validate its effectiveness. Miraculous cures continue to be reported on a regular basis: what are we to make of them? In the Healing Rooms Ministry of Bethel Church in Redding, California, people regularly claim to be healed of cancer, broken bones, multiple sclerosis and many other ailments. Page after page of testimonials of cures are listed on their website. Are these cures real? If not, what is going on?
Amanda Winters, a journalist doing a series of articles on Bethel Church, interviewed me for a scientific view of these faith healings. She asked me some very incisive questions and understood my answers. She wrote what I thought was a balanced article, quoting me fairly and at more length than reporters usually allow.
Her article features a patient who believed his flat feet would be healed (bones would crack and form an arch). Healers poked him, blew a shofar at his feet, and covered him with a blanket when he collapsed on the floor. When he got up, his feet were unchanged. But
his faith was not shaken, he said, because he felt so loved and maybe the physical healing was secondary to the spiritual experience he had. (more…)

Events mark Veterans Day as more Wisconsin troops deploy
State officials held services around Wisconsin to observe Veterans Day -- as about 100 Wisconsin troops deployed for duty.
The members of the Wisconsin Air National Guard's 128th Air Control Squadron left Wisconsin on Sunday. They are headed for southwest Asia.
Ceremonies to honor those who served in the military were held Sunday in veterans' homes in Union Grove and King, and at the Northern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery near Spooner.
Gov. Scott Walker spoke at an event Friday at the state Capitol. He said, "Thank you," to all Wisconsinites who have served in the military.
All state agencies will be open on Monday.

We think our LO had a stomach flu this past weekend, she wanted NOTHING to do with anything but rice cereal and a little EBM. (We are exclusive pumpers) She took in about 16 oz of BM for the past 3 days and a little rice cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She had some pretty brutal diarrhea so I hoped the rice cereal would bind her a little bit.
Now she is back to feeling better, so when will she be interested in solids again?? We tried her favorite dinner tonight, and she cried every time it was on the spoon. She wanted the cereal, but no real food. No interest in applesauce either.
Thanks in advance.

As 1989 wound down, the world rejoiced. The decade that brought about the turned-up collar, feathered hair, and pastel pink shirts for men was coming to a close.
If only the world knew that the 1990s would have its own set of horrific fashion trends, the New Year's Eve parties would have ended and Dick Clark would have retired.
Identifying the five worst fashion trends of the '90s is comparable to finding the nakedest person on a nudist beach. A complicated measuring device, therefore, had to be utilized in order to rank the worst of the worst. It involved attaching electrodes to vital organs of individuals who lived through the decade and reveled in its fashions. The measuring instrument recorded the shock and embarrassment each individual felt while being shown photos of him/her donning '90s attire.
Well, not really. But since we think such a fashion litmus test would be more fun than a "House Party" movie marathon or a Bell Biv DeVoe reality show, start up your imagination, zip up your Starter jacket, dig your "Blossom" hat out of the closet and join us ...
No. 5: Zubaz pants
You remember Zubaz right? These were the pants that appeared to be the result of zebras mating with fashion designers, producing colorfully striped sweat pants with an elastic band.
Although Zubaz pants were actually invented in the 1980s, it wasn't until the early 1990s that this fashion blunder became a big hit with the steroid-using, gym-going, fashion-blind crowd.
In 2008 a group of washed-up football players and weight-lifters were sequestered and forced to watch archived videos of themselves lifting weights while wearing Zubaz pants. Two-thirds of the participants wept.
Zubaz pants are making a comeback, at least that's what the guy selling them on eBay says. Nobody, however, under the age of 35 has been seen wearing them in public in more than seven years. And that's a good thing. Trust us.
Vanilla Ice's hair, on the other hand, is not ...
No. 4: The Vanilla Ice look
The Vanilla Ice look began with white rapper Vanilla Ice. Unfortunately, it didn't end there.
The look is characterized primarily by the Vanilla hair style. The rapper's look appeared as though the result of several experiments with untold amounts of mousse products, some Vaseline and an egg beater. The look caught on and eventually reached a large portion of the white teenage community.
A hundred former white wannabe rappers (you know, the ones who still own a CD single of Snow's hit "Informer") were sequestered and forced to watch archived videos of themselves draped in Vanilla Ice attire. Most of them laughed, thinking it was Halloween footage. A few found the videos inspiring and relaunched their dormant careers.
Vanilla Ice himself helped eliminate the look forever during a 1999 MTV special in which he used a baseball bat to smash a tape of his hit video "Ice Ice Baby," along with much of the set.
At least he wasn't wearing rolled up jeans while doing so ...
No. 3: Rolled-up pants
Nobody's really sure who started the roll-your-pants-up phenomenon. Some speculate it was a conscious decision made by people with muscular calves. Others claim it originated accidentally when floodwaters consumed St. Louis.
Most people don't care. They're just glad it went away. Really glad.
The rolled-up pants catastrophe engulfed young people of all races. Traces of the catastrophe can be found in music videos, movies, and graduation photo albums. For some it wasn't even enough just to roll up the jeans, they had to -- bear with us here -- pin them up just right too. The horror.
A hundred graduates of the class of 1997 were sequestered and forced to watch archived videos of themselves at a high school dance wearing the aforementioned fashion faux pas. Most dropped their heads in shame. A few uttered lame flood jokes while looking nervous. This fad is now only found when there's rain and clouds.
Of course, it's always cloudy with this next group ...

Lawmakers punt on Current Use reforms, again
MONTPELIER A legislative effort to reform the states premier land conservation program has again fallen by the wayside.
Supporters of changes to the Current Use tax program say abuses of the system have fueled perception problems that threaten to undermine public support. But while most people have begun to acknowledge the existence of a problem, lawmakers cant seem to agree on a fix.
Woodstock Rep. Allison Clarkson has dedicated a good deal of her last three terms in office to the issue. She says thats for good reason.
This program supports an over $4 billion economic engine, which is all the things that come out of our working lands, Clarkson said.
The program allows owners to pay taxes based on how the land is used such as farming or forestry instead of its maximum fair market value. Owners whose land is enrolled in Current Use temporarily forfeit development rights in exchange for drastically reduced tax bills. And proponents say its prevented the states rural character from being overrun by commercial development.
But the program now costs the state nearly $60 million annually, mostly in the form of lost tax revenues.
Clarkson says abuses of the system are rare. But she and others say theyre tarnishing Current Uses public image. And she and others say that could make the program an increasingly attractive target for cuts.
So one of the most important things we needed to do was restore integrity to Current Use and restore the publics confidence in this program, which were all helping finance, Clarkson said.
For the third time in five years, the Vermont House this year passed legislation that would increase penalties for removing land from the program. The bill is designed to thwart the developers who game the system by enrolling in Current Use land that they have no intention of conserving. In some instances, developers can save more on their tax bills than theyd pay in withdrawal penalties by parking their land in the program for as little as 220 days.
But while prospects for a deal with the Senate seemed bright as recently as a few weeks ago, division within the Senate has now cratered any hope of a compromise.
The real frustration is we havent seen any action now for the fifth year to come to a resolution about how to keep this program growing and stabilize it, and also deal with some of the perceptions that there are ways to abuse the program, said Jamey Fidel, with the Vermont Natural Resources Council.
The issue of penalties is a sensitive one. Essex-Orleans Sen. Bobby Starr said he refuses to sign on to any reform that might create hardship for cash-poor landowners who need to withdraw land from Current Use so they can sell it and pay bills.
And as people get older and theyve been in for a long period of time, I dont feel if they get to the point where they need to sell off a few acres to survive on, that they should be forced to pay a real high penalty, Starr said.
Starr was amenable to heightened penalties on landowners who withdraw land shortly after its enrolled. But when his Senate colleagues sought higher penalties for all withdrawals, no matter the term of enrollment, Starr demurred, and hopes for a deal were dashed.
Clarkson said a heavier hand from the Shumlin administration is one way to finally break the legislative gridlock. If nothing gets done soon, Clarkson said, she fears Current Use will fall victim to the budget hatchet the next time the states finances decline. Fidel said lawmakers might also resort to caps on the program as the Senate proposed earlier this year something he said could prevent the conservation of important lands.
No one wants to touch it because its, as we have seen, politically charged. Doesnt mean we shouldnt try, Clarkson said.
Commissioner of Forests, Parks and Recreation Michael Snyder said its unlikely the administration will adopt a more hands-on role in the legislative process anytime soon, at least when it comes to the land-use withdrawal penalty.
Snyder said its true theres a perception problem and that the state might be well served to tweak regulations to address it. But he said Vermont needs to be careful not to do any harm, something residents voiced concern about in a series of public hearings last year.
This is a massively important program, and though it may have some blemishes here and there, dont mess it up too much, Snyder said. We heard that from a lot of people, and we take that seriously.
Snyder this session did manage to get two smaller revisions to the program, which will give his department greater flexibility when it comes to easing sanctions on owners of forestlands who fail to meet management-plan renewal deadlines, and allowing more ecologically significant lands into Current Use.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Federal agencies make plans for potential shutdown
Rep. Xavier Becerra D-Calif., center, Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-NY, left, and Rep. Rob Andrews, D-N.J., right, address the media after a Democratic Caucus meeting in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013. Lawmakers from both parties urged one another in a rare weekend session to give ground in their fight over preventing a federal shutdown, with the midnight Monday deadline fast approaching. But there was no sign of yielding Saturday in a down-to-the-wire struggle that tea party lawmakers are using to try derailing President Barack Obama's health care law. (AP Photo/Molly Riley)
WASHINGTON As Congress continued to spar Saturday over a stopgap spending measure to keep the government running, federal agencies made contingency plans for a potential shutdown.
Each Cabinet-level department and federal agency was required to identify essential personnel and determine which operations would continue if no deal is reached by Tuesday, the first day of the new fiscal year.
Although huge swaths of the federal bureaucracy could be forced to close down, many government functions would continue.
Senior Pentagon officials said Friday that the more than 1.3 million active military personnel would remain on duty during a shutdown but probably would not receive their paychecks until a spending agreement was reached. The service members and civilians who stay on the job would be categorized as essential to the protection of life and property and to national security.
About half of the Defense Departments approximately 800,000 civilian employees would take furloughs without pay.
There is little question that troops deployed to Afghanistan would continue their missions, as would warships now off the coast of Syria to pressure the Assad government to adhere to a plan to surrender its chemical weapons stockpile.
Documents released Friday by the Pentagon listed essential duties that would be carried out during a government shutdown, including recruitment, intelligence and surveillance, fire protection, counseling and other services for sexual assault victims, operations of mortuary facilities for fallen service members, and a broad range of medical care.
The military is one of several departments whose employees are considered essential for national security purposes. The Department of Homeland Security which is made up of agencies like the Secret Service, Customs and Border Protection, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency would have to furlough roughly 14 percent of its employees, far lower than many other Cabinet-level agencies.
Nearly all of the FBIs roughly 16,000 agents and analysts at its headquarters and 56 field offices across the country would continue to work, because they are considered essential to protecting the country. Nonessential employees like carpenters and dock employees who unload shipments would be told to stay home.
Most employees of the State Department would continue to report to work, domestically and abroad. Most overseas employees and many of the people working in Washington to support colleagues abroad would be considered essential because of their diplomatic and national security functions.
Much of the State Department operates outside the usual congressional appropriations process, meaning that many bureaus and offices would remain open. Most passport offices, for example, would continue to process applications normally, because the departments consular function is financed largely through fees.
Although more than half of the Department of Health and Human Services would be furloughed, Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries would continue to receive services. Retirees would continue to receive Social Security checks.
The rollout of President Barack Obamas health care law, with the first insurance marketplaces to go online starting Tuesday, would continue, since most of the money for that program was provided by the Affordable Care Act and other laws.
The Food and Drug Administration would continue some vital activities, like product recalls and the inspection of imports, but would curtail many other food safety activities.
National parks and their visitor centers would be closed, but other Interior Department operations would carry on. The approximately 500 Fish and Wildlife Service employees, whose salaries are paid by a permanent appropriation, would continue caring for animals at parks and hatcheries; at the U.S. Geological Survey, employees would continue to monitor equipment to forecast floods or detect earthquakes and volcano activity; Native Americans would continue to receive benefits payments, and the Bureau of Indian Education would operate its schools.
The District of Columbia, whose budget is approved by Congress, usually would be required to send home all but its most essential employees, shuttering services like public libraries and the department of motor vehicles. But in protest of Congress inability to agree on a spending measure, Washingtons mayor, Vincent C. Gray, deemed all District employees to be essential.
While Grays gambit seemed legally tenuous, the chairman of the City Council, Phil Mendelson, was expected to hold a vote Tuesday on legislation that would allow the city, during a shutdown, to pay its employees from a contingency reserve fund.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Mock crash provides sobering lesson in drunk driving
With prom and graduation right around the corner, a mock DUI accident staged at Lewis and Clark High School Wednesday morning help to reinforce to students the consequences of drinking and driving.
"What we have here unfortunately is a DUI crash that ended in two fatalities," Spokane police officer Teresa Fuller said. "Absolutely preventable. This was after a party and unfortunately, like I said, the one driver was drunk."
The crash, and Fuller's comments, were fake, part of the exercise at LC Wednesday, but in her 15 years with the police department, Fuller has seen things so awful they make this dramatization look like nothing.
"I don't know, I just thought about if that had happened to me and my friends I would just be devastated, I just, I can't talk right now, just devastated by it," LC junior Shaniah Kincaid said.
Kincaid was overwhelmed by the mock crash.
"Just thinking about it happening scares me," she added.
The impact of seeing the mock crash had a profound impact on Kincaid, who decided it opened her eyes to "not to drink anymore … pretty much."
A sound choice for any person who gets behind the wheel, because if you do drink and drive, going to jail, as the students at Lewis and Clark found out Wednesday, could be the least of your worries.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

I personally hope that we see him again in the next 5 chapters.
With Kishi......only god knows
Dont carr about sasuke. he is annoying

Yep, but remember when we saw EMS Sasuke the first time? Only one page, and then there were like 10 chapters of Naruto >_> Hopefully that won't happen again.
Hopefully next chapter for a main character he doesn't get much panel time im sick of seeing the same thing every week with pretty much the same dialogue I like Tobi and Madara but they are becoming boring as shit.
I dont care for seeing sasuke but id imagine next week. Im sure he will get at least another page or two....at least.
Soon..Kishi said Naruto and Sasuke will meet in this war and well im reading this chapter again and he said "I will go to that place in order to kill you"
I guess after two months

Wroten, Ross taken in first round of NBA draft
NEWARK, N.J. - Tony Wroten helped cap a historic night in Washington basketball history on Thursday when he was selected by Memphis Grizzlies with the 25th pick in the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft. He joins Terrence Ross, who was selected by Toronto with the 8th pick earlier in the night, giving the Huskies a pair of first round picks for the first time in the school's history.
The selections of Ross and Wroten continue a strong tradition of Head Coach Lorenzo Romar sending players to the NBA. The duo makes a total of 10 players selected in the draft during Romar's 10 seasons at Washington. In the last eight drafts, at least one Husky has been selected in all but one year.
Dating back to 1948, 11 Husky players have now been selected in the first round, with six coming under Romar's watch.
Ross is the fifth Husky to be drafted in the top-10, joining Bob Houbregs (3rd, Milwaukee, 1953), Detlef Schrempf (8th, Dallas, 1985), Brandon Roy (6th, Minnesota, 2006) and Spencer Hawes (10th, Sacramento, 2007). Martell Webster signed with Washington for 2005, but elected to enter the draft instead and was selected 6th overall by Portland.
Ross and Wroten both declared early for the draft after they helped the Huskies to a 24-11 record in 2012, a NIT semifinal appearance and Pac-12 regular season championship. Both were first team All-Pac-12 and Wroten was the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.
Ross established himself as not only one of the Pac-12's most complete players, but one of the nation's top athletes. He ranked among conference leaders in eight categories: points (16.4, 4th), rebounds (6.4, 6th), offensive rebounds (5.1, 3rd), free throw percentage (.766, 11th), steals (1.3, 12th), 3-PT FG makes (2.1, 8th), 3-PT% (.371, 14th) and blocks (0.9, 13th).
He led Washington in scoring, tallying 574 total points - tied for 9th most in UW single-season history.
He also was second on the team in minutes, rebounds, steals, 3-point makes, 3-point field goal percentage and blocks.
Ross was the only Husky to reach 30 points in 2011-12, doing so twice. He was second with 9 games of 20-plus points.
Ross flourished in Washington's run to the NIT semifinals in New York. He averaged 25.0 points in four games. He was a perfect 15-of-15 from the free throw line and led UW shooters from three point range, making 15-of-37 attempts (.405).
As a freshman in 2011, he was part of a Husky team that went 24-11, won the Pac-10 Tournament championship and advanced to the third round of the NCAA tournament.
"Being at Washington and playing for Coach Romar has been a blessing," Ross said back on April 1 when he declared for the draft. "On the court, off the court, with school and in life...it's just been a real blessing to consider myself a Husky and get to where I am right now."
Wroten, a 6-foot-5 guard out of Seattle's Garfield High School, Wroten set numerous Husky freshman records: most points (559), scoring average (16.0 ppg), assists (130) and steals (66). He ranked fifth in the conference in scoring, eighth in assists (3.7 apg), second in steals (1.9 spg) and was sixth overall in offensive rebounds per game (2.3).
He was the Huskies' steals leader, second leading scorer and second leading assists man. He also attempted 33 percent of the team's free throws
Along with being named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and first team All-Pac-12, he was one of five finalists for the Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the Year award along with Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Cody Zeller and Austin Rivers.
In his one season at Washington, his scoring average was fifth among all Division I freshmen, second among first-year players from the `power' conferences.
"Husky fans are the best in the nation and I would not trade my experience here for any other college," Wroten said the day he declared for the NBA Draft. "It was great that I stayed home and I know the University of Washington will always be by my side."

What a lovely birthday present! Introducing Carrotiger!
In honor of PaperTigers' 10th Anniversary, Cathy Mealey (who blogs at Bildebok) sent us a photo of a lovely tiger drawn by her 9-year-old daughter Grace. Grace's "Carrotiger" was inspired by her love of children's poet laureate Jack Prelutsky's book Scranimals, illustrated by Peter Sis (Greenwillow Books, 2006).
We're sailing to
Scranimal Island,
It doesn't appear on
most maps….
Scranimal Island
is where you will find
the fragrant RHINOCEROSE,
the cunning BROCCOLIONS.
And if you are really, really lucky
and very, very quiet,
you will spot
the gentle, shy PANDAFFODIL.
(You may even hear it yawning
If the morning's just begun,
Watch its petals slowly open
To embrace the rising sun.
Thank you so much for your lovely drawing,Grace! With this submission, Grace and her mom Cathy are entered in our 10th Anniversary give-away. The closing date for entries is midnight PST on Saturday Nov 10th with winners being announced here on the blog on Monday Nov 19th.

Sun erupts with mightiest solar flare in 4 years
The sun unleashed its strongest solar flare in four years Monday night, hurling a massive wave of charged particles from electrified gas into space and toward Earth.

The solar storm sent a flash of radiation that hit Earth in a matter of minutes. Now a huge cloud of charged particles is headed our way. These coronal mass ejections, as they are called, typically take about 24 hours or more to arrive. They can spark spectacular displays of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, at high latitudes and sometimes even into the northern United States.

Baengnyeong Island, home to 5,000 South Korean civilians, sits just 10 miles from the border with North Korea. Fearing an attack from the north, the island has become a fortress with fences, bomb shelters and mine fields. NBC's Ian Williams reports.
North Korea put its rocket units on standby Friday to attack U.S. military bases in South Korea and the Pacific, after repeated threats one day after two American stealth bombers flew over the Korean Peninsula in a military exercise.
A U.S. official warned that the isolated communist state is "not a paper tiger" and its reaction should not be dismissed as "pure bluster."
According to South Korea's news agency, Yonhap, North Korea announced Saturday that it had entered a state of war against South Korea. "In a special statement, the North said it will deal with every inter-Korean issue in a wartime manner," Yonhap reported. NBC News could not immediately confirm.
The two Koreas have been in a technical state of war because their 1950-53 conflict ended under an armistice and not a peace treaty.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell examines North Korea's brewing threats and what they mean for neighboring South Korea.
According to North Korea's official KCNA news agency, the country's leader Kim Jong Un "judged the time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists in view of the prevailing situation" at a midnight meeting of top generals, Reuters reported.
The latest threats come one day after two nuclear-capable stealth bombers flew from Missouri to drop inert munitions on a range in South Korea as part of a major military exercise.
The U.S. official emphasized the danger posed by North Korea's military and the unpredictable nature of its 30-year-old leader.
"North Korea is not a paper tiger so it wouldn't be smart to dismiss its provocative behavior as pure bluster. What's not clear right now is how much risk Kim Jong Un is willing to run to show the world and domestic elites that he's a tough guy," said the official, who asked not to be named. "His inexperience is certain -- his wisdom is still very much in question."
There was a mass demonstration in support of Kim involving tens of thousands of people in the main square of North Korean capital Pyongyang Friday, The Associated Press reported.
Placards read "Let's crush the puppet traitor group" and "Let's rip the puppet traitors to death!"
'War for national liberation'
The state-controlled KCNA also published an article that said the "opportunity for peacefully settling the DPRK-U.S. relations is no longer available as the U.S. opted for staking its fate. Consequently, there remains only the settlement of accounts by a physical means." DPRK stands for Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's official name.
David Guttenfelder / AP
As chief Asia photographer for the Associated Press, David Guttenfelder has had unprecedented access to communist North Korea. Here's a rare look at daily life in the secretive country.
"A battle to be fought by the DPRK against the U.S. will become a war for national liberation to defend the sovereignty and dignity of the country and, at the same time, a revolutionary war to defend the human cause of independence and the justice of the international community," the article by "news analyst" Minju Joson said.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a South Korean military official as saying that there had been "increased movement of vehicles and forces" at missile launch sites in the North. "We are closely watching possibilities of missile launches," the unnamed official said.
North Korea routinely issues hostile statements but analysts have noted recent remarks have become more belligerent. In December, the North carried out a long-range rocket test and then detonated a nuclear bomb in a test earlier this year.
At a daily news briefing Friday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China was calling for an easing of tensions.
But some fear the situation could be getting out of control.
North Korea's young leader Kim Jong-un has issued almost daily threats, including the threat of nuclear strikes on Washington, D.C., and Seoul. In addition, Pyongyang has put its troops on combat readiness, warning that war "may break out at any moment." NBC's Ian Williams reports.
"It seems that Kim Jong Un is in the driving seat of a train that has been taken on a joyride," Lee Min-yong, an expert on North Korea at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul, told Reuters.
Russia, meanwhile, appeared to criticize the U.S. over Thursday's bomber mission.
"We are concerned that alongside the adequate, collective reaction of the U.N. Security Council, unilateral action is being taken around North Korea that is increasing military activity," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters in Moscow, according to Reuters.
"The situation could simply get out of control; it is slipping toward the spiral of a vicious cycle," he said.
Reuters contributed to this report.

March 16, 2006
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education
(ISBE) today adopted rules to officially ban junk food
and soda in Illinois elementary and middle schools. In
November, Governor Rod R. Blagojevich asked the nine board
members to ban junk food and soda in Illinois elementary
and middle schools. Research shows that healthier students
have higher attendance rates, better behavior, and superior
test scores.
"Good nutrition helps children attend school more
regularly, behave better when they're in school,
and score better on tests," said Gov. Blagojevich.
"But despite the obvious reasons to eat healthy,
for children, the temptation to eat junk food can just
be too great. Today, the State Board approved rules to
reduce this temptation for kids to replace nutritious
meals at school with things like candy, soda, pizza and
The State Board has the authority under the National
School Lunch Program to prohibit elementary and middle
schools throughout Illinois that participate in the program
from selling junk food and soda during the school day.
Elementary school students in Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey,
New York, and West Virginia already cannot get junk food
in schools until at least after lunch. And other states
have gone even further. Hawaii bans junk food in all schools
all day. Florida bans the sale of junk food in elementary
schools all day, and in secondary schools until after
Existing State Board rules already prohibit the sale
of junk food in elementary schools during breakfast and
lunch, but if students snack too much between mealtimes,
they may not have appetites for healthy foods at lunch.
Today's action changes the rules to prohibit junk
food during the entire school day in elementary and middle
schools. The new rules will begin to take affect in the
2006-2007 school year.
In addition to prohibiting junk food throughout the school
day, the new rules will also change the definition of
junk food to focus on what's most important –
the food's nutritional content.
"We have answered Governor Blagojevich's
call to ban junk food in elementary and middle schools,"
said Board Chairman Jesse Ruiz. "The State Board
is defining junk food in a way that makes sense and ensures
the health of children. These rules will help students
have a healthier diet and perform better in school."
The average child drinks twice as much soda as milk,
according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
One quarter of everything adolescents eat is considered
junk food according to a study from Project Lean. In addition,
children nationwide are consuming an average 150 to 200
more calories per day than they did just ten years ago.
Nationally, 15 percent of children ages 5 to 19 are overweight,
triple that of 20 years ago. The increased weight is causing
increases in serious medical conditions like Type II diabetes
and is setting the stage for coronary heart disease, stroke
and cancer. A study in Arkansas showed that Type II diabetes
– a condition once found almost exclusively in adults
– is up 800 percent among children compared to the
past decade.
The notice of the adopted rules will be submitted to
the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules to initiate
JCAR'S review. When the process is complete, the
adopted rules will be filed with the Secretary of State
and implemented during the 2006-2007 school year.

The swell rears its ugly head at a queasy three metres. The wind lashes the boat at 30 knots.
A middle-aged Italian man is bent over, hands on head, shirt off, back sweaty, and we haven't even left the marina yet.
Being able to pride oneself on having a tough belly is a badge of honour intrepid travellers wear, and I have mine firmly pinned to my chest for all to see.
As we cross the Coral Sea I ignore the Italian sitting in front of me, and the sweaty tub of a man who is encroaching on to my seat beside me - he, too, in dire straits.
I try to enjoy the wind in my face and the refreshing salt spray on my body, yet it is hard to ignore all of the people in pain.
"Just keep looking at the horizon," my husband tells me as he laps up the sunshine.
"I already am and it's not working," I want to scream, but I hold my tongue.
Stay calm and focused, I tell myself. The boat's not moving at all. It's just a little rubber ducky bobbing in a bath.
But my stomach won't swallow the lies; it's doing backflips and is already too far gone.
The double-decker tour boat slaps against the waves the entire hour-and-a-half it takes to reach the coral cay around Lady Musgrave Island, situated off Queensland's Discovery Coast. And my sturdy stomach is nowhere to be seen.
I continue my horizon mantra but it doesn't work. It is inevitable that five minutes before we moor I too am hunched over, head between knees, plastic bag around mouth.
However, determined to prove my belly is made of steel I soldier on. Seasickness isn't going to win.
Leaving the top deck of the boat, as others sit moaning in pain, I board a glass-bottomed vessel and putt over to Lady Musgrave.
It is gorgeous - unbelievably untouched. It is the second-southernmost island in the Great Barrier Reef, with Seventeen Seventy being its nearest mainland town. (Lady Elliot Island is the southern-most.)
It's not as well known as its siblings up north (Hayman, Hamilton, Daydream) because there are no artificial attractions - no windsurfers for hire, no five-star hotels and no cocktail bar.
Musgrave is about getting back to nature, and what a beautiful specimen she is.
This Lady is home to a number of bird species including white-capped noddy terns, silver gulls and wedge-tailed shearwaters.
The terns nest in the flourishing pisonia trees, found covering the 14-hectare island.
As we take a short tour we stare up into the tree branches where a healthy population of terns is looking down at us.
After the shore excursion we enjoy hours of snorkelling in the aqua lagoon, and to my delight green turtles grace us with their presence.
Green and loggerhead turtles nest on Lady Musgrave between November and February. Camping is allowed on the island but is prohibited in February and March, to protect turtle hatchlings. Camping is also limited to 40 people and there are no toilets or fresh water.
After snorkelling we head back to Seventeen Seventy. The wind has eased only a little but doesn't pose a problem as this time we're heading with it.
Still, I am glad when I disembark, the queasiness of seasickness slightly lingering.
In the evening we watch the sunset over the creek from our site at 1770 Camping Grounds.
Situated on a peninsular near Joseph Banks Conservation Park, Seventeen Seventy is a quiet place. Although it does attract backpackers it stands far apart from the hot spots of Airlie Beach up north or Noosa further south.
The town gets its name from the year Captain James Cook landed at its shore in the Endeavour.
A short walk from the campsite up a hill is a stone structure in Cook's honour. Every year the town also hosts the Captain Cook 1770 Festival.
From the monument and through the bush you get a great view of Eurimbula National Park, which sits to the north of Round Hill Creek. From further up the road the outlook is even more impressive.
If you're fond of a spot of fishing, follow the path leading back to the water where you can cast a line off rocks or from the sand beside the mangroves.
If that sounds a little too sedate, jump in a fourbie and head out of town to Deepwater National Park. The park is south of Agnes Water and fun to explore, offering a fairly gentle 4WDing experience, despite occasional corrugations.
Once you've exhausted yourself exploring, head back to camp, crack a cold beer and pray the remainder of your trip passes slowly. After all, you may find you're unable to escape the attentions of a little Lady called Musgrave.
GETTING THERE: The main highways and most of the roads into Seventeen Seventy are tarred and are no issue for small cars or caravans, however if you want to explore the national parks you will need a 4WD. Gladstone to the north and Bundaberg to the south are both about 120km away. There are a few roads that lead to the Discovery Coast, including the Bruce Highway if you're driving south, the Isis Highway if you're coming from the south-west, and Bundaberg Lowmead Road if you choose to pass through Bundaberg. Just be sure to have a map so you pick the right turn-offs.
STAYING THERE: 1770 Camping Grounds is situated right on the waterside along Captain Cook Drive. There are large powered and unpowered camping and caravan sites, clean amenities, a laundry, free barbecues and a camp kitchen. Visitors can hire boats, kayaks and canoes, while reception has basic groceries. For more information call (07) 4974 9286 or check out www.1770campingground.com.au .
PLAYING THERE: Seventeen Seventy is pleasant all year, however be mindful of Queensland's wet summer months that may make trips into the water a little wild. It's also a popular destination for Christmas and Easter holidays so avoid these times if you want to steer clear of crowds.

Gary Holt and Slayer….Posted by Sat in Views and News
Comments: No Comments | Tags: Exodus, Gary Holt, slayer, Thrash, Tom Araya
Man, I got wind of this last night. Gary Holt has been brought on board for Slayer's Australian five date tour. Gary is temporarily filling in for Jeff Hanneman on guitar, as Jeff is recuperating after some recent major surgery. As much as I love Jeff on guitar in Slayer, seeing Gary thrashing away next to Tom Araya will be a spectacle to behold. I love Slayer and Exodus both equally, so this pairing is a match made in heaven for me. I would love to see this line up in North America, but that ain't gonna happen by a long shot. Time to crank some Fabulous Disaster.

Dear WW: My mother didn't want any wimps in the family. And when she told me to do something, I did it.
Dear SM: The lungs don't to anything until the diaphragm and ribs move. And the diaphragm muscles and rib muscles are controlled by nerves coming from the spinal cord. Your vet was not speaking as he would have to another vet.

and continuing the anatomy lesson, re:The lungs don't to anything until the diaphragm and ribs move. And the diaphragm muscles and rib muscles are controlled by nerves coming from the spinal cord
breathing is controled by the base of the brain, sometime called the reptilian part (since it contains many of the same funtions that can be found in reptile brains.) and breathing is one of them.. you don't have to remember to breath, a small part of your brain does that for you.. and as higher functions (thought, image processing, etc) go, the only thing left is the reptilian part.. and you keep breathing. then as damaged lungs bring less air in, and damaged hearts move less blood, and damaged kidneys let toxins accumulated, and damage livers fail to clean out old and damaged red blood cells, less and less oxoginated blood gets to the brain, and it falters.. and finally fails to send the signal to the diaphragm to contract.._________________________

Dear of troy: Reptiles can be amazing. When I was about ten, my father brought home a snapping turtle, with a shell the size of a manhole cover. He shot it to keep his bird dog from getting bitten. Bird dogs will in some cases point turtles. His full choke 12 ga. shotgun had made a hole in turtle's head the size of a baseball. But for over a week if you kicked the turtle's legs, they would retract.
Dear Hyla: If you have not already read it, you would enjoy "Eggs for Agassiz" written by a Middleboro school teacher long ago. He knew Agassiz was writing a book on turtle embryology, and desperately wanted some freshly laid snapping turtle eggs to study. He had quite an adventure getting them to Cambridge on time. The original article was in ATLANTIC. and is cited in the very short version to which URL is:

At the risk of self-YARTing, I'll repost my link to http://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org. He lived for 18 months after the ax blow that was designed to kill him only took off his head *above* the brain stem (which controls a chicken's reflex actions). He had to be fed by eyedropper, and they had to clear his esophagus periodically - but he seems to have been quite an attraction there for a while in the 40s.

The ethical realist objector [to DCT] claims that it is possible for God to command rape in some possible world, or in an impossible world close to the actual world, making it obligatory for all moral agents, whereas rape is still morally bad in that same world, thus, making DCT arbitrary and is defeated.
The nonstandard semantics objection to the arbitrariness of DCT suggests that there is an impossible world, however close to the actual world, in which God commands rape or the torture of innocent children. Approaching the objection from an explanandum-driven consideration, would a contingent command be an adequate objection?
Consider the following contingencies of a command:
(CONTCOM) ∀ϕ[(◊~Cgϕ) ∙ (◊Cgϕ)]
(CONTCOMʹ) ∀ϕ[(◊~Cg~ϕ) ∙ (◊Cg~ϕ)]
The objector to divine command theory assumes that ϕ can be any command and could thus look like:
(CONTCOM″) ∀ϕ[(◊~Cgϕ ∙ ◊~Cg~ϕ) ∙ (◊Cgϕ ∙ ◊Cg~ϕ)]
(CONTCOM‴) ∀ρ[(◊~Cgρ ∙ ◊~Cg~ρ) ∙ (◊Cgρ ∙ ◊Cg~ρ)]

All-Star Ice Cream Helmet
If you've been here before, you might know that Tim and I like to enjoy an ice cream helmet while at the ballpark.
You might also know that we were disappointed during our recent Cook Grandfather-Father-Son Baseball Roadtrip to discover that our division rivals, the California Angels of 2000 Gene Autry Way, Anaheim, Orange County, California 92806, had decided to scrap ice cream helmets from their menu at Angel Stadium.
Well, I wasn't the only person who thought it was wrong that we came away from Angel Stadium ice cream helmetless. Check out what just arrived in the mail for me and Tim:
Thank you, Matt "BloggingBoutBaseball" Jackson!
And, guess what?
The Angels were on TV to help me enjoy our new All-Star helmet:
Excellent! Even better than a normal Angels helmet.
Thanks again, Matt!
And to mark the occasion, the Angels decided to win their first game of the season against the Red Sox.
By the way, I have been crazy busy lately with work, family, life, etc. We've been to three games in August so far with two more this weekend. Hopefully I'll finish our first August game entry this weekend.
Go Mariners!

Are you guys gonna be at the M's game tonight (friday)? Hope to see you there if you can make the trip. Joe
Nope. We were not there tonight. But we will be there tomorrow and Sunday. Hopefully the M's can play them just like they did tonight. Will you be there either Saturday or Sunday?

Sarah Palin did a photoshoot for Runner's World Magazine* wearing ASICS Gel Nimbus running shoes (source). ASICS ended up winning Runner's World "Shoe of the Year." Newsweek then in turn used a photo of that photoshoot for the cover of their November 23, 2009 issue which is causing controversies, and Palin herself is not happy with the latest cover. So did Sarah Palin get paid by ASICS for product placement? I'm guessing so because knowing Sarah's influence on women shoe buyers, the … [Read more...]
