Communism in Ambush
Among the leading scientists advocating the theory of evolution during the 20th century were a considerable number of Marxists. Stephen Jay Gould, the foremost of them, is, after Darwin, perhaps the most quoted name in the USA associated with "the theory of evolution." However, there exists another ideology he is committed to along with Darwinism: Marxism.
In his view, Darwinism and Marxism are two sides of the same coin. In 1992, when the whole world believed "communism has been abolished once and for all," Gould said, following his return from a visit to Russia, "Yes, the Russian reality does discredit a specific Marxist economics, but Marx has been proven right about the validity of the larger model of punctuational change."1 That is, according to Gould, Marxism is still alive.
Scientists such as Alexander Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane, who produced the most important works on the theory of evolution in the first half of the 20th century, are all strong advocates of Marxism. In our day, evolutionists in the West, such as John Maynard Smith and Richard Lewontin also support Marxism.
According to them, Darwinism and Marxism mean very much the same thing. Both theories depend upon a common philosophical premise: dialectical materialism. While Marx applied dialectical materialism to history, Darwin applied it to nature. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, the event which is interpreted as "The abolition of Communism" by the world, was, according to these scientists, nothing more than a mere "collapse of a flawed interpretation of Marxism." A Marxist understanding of politics will exist so long as dialectical materialism exists.
Today, things have taken a much different course: According to Marx, a society needs to go through particular phases. It should first experience capitalism, then proceed to socialism and ultimately to communism. However, Russia and other communist regimes of the 20th century have experienced a leap from agrarian society to socialism, leaving out the intermediate capitalist stage, which is the reason for the failure of these regimes, according to Marxists. By their recent embrace of capitalism, these countries have become ripe for the "capitalist stage" foreseen by Marx. This would lay the ground for the ultimate arrival of an even stronger and permanent socialist regime. This interpretation is the one adopted by those who still have faith in Marxism in our day.
Communism was the bloodiest ideology that caused more than 120 milion innocent deaths in the 20th century. It was a nightmare which promised equality and justice, but which brought only bloodshed, death, torture and fear.
Consequently, those who think communism has been relegated to the trash heaps of history with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, and thus is no longer a threat to world peace, are on the wrong tack. Communism is the political theory of dialectical materialism, and it will exist as long as dialectical materialism exists. If a philosophy persists in a society, then it only remains for the "appropriate ground to appear" for this philosophy to become politically effective. If dialectical materialism exists forcefully and extensively, then communism, which is its political dimension, may well become an effective power when appropriate conditions arise. The fact remains that today, communists hold considerable power, even in European countries. Communist parties in France and Italy are still powerful; they are all doing well at the ballot box. In the former Eastern Bloc countries, on the other hand, there still exist the former communist cadres commanding socialist parties, and they are increasing their share of the vote. An international economic crisis may well open the way to these socialist parties, pushing the countries in question to communist-ruled regimes.
nations into terrible crises, conflicts and wars, and inflicted horrendous disasters on the world. It bears a significant part of the responsibility for much of the suffering and crises that mankind is still experiencing.
Russia: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back!
The situation in Russia is even more striking. By the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the regime has been steered towards fascism rather than democracy. Yeltsin, who raised strong objections to the Duma (The Russian Parliament) when he was in power, had a fascist personality and management style. Today, his legacy is kept alive by his successor, Putin.
After 1991, almost no changes occurred in the Russian political regime and culture. The main change, however, was in the economy and social structure. A "savage capitalism," similar to the one experienced in England during the 19th century, holds sway over Russia today. The weakening of the central authority of the state gave rise to the stepping in of the mafia, which forms a sort of "feudal structure" in the country. That is to say, the current structure of Russia, from the Marxist perspective, is a structure of "pre-communism." This is how communists, who enjoy high shares of the vote in Russia, and, what is more, who are influential in the state mechanism, evaluate the current situation in Russia. A potential international crisis, which might well shake the credibility of liberal economy and democracy, can any time easily change this communist theory into reality and establish another communist regime in Russia.
In fact, another stealthy tactic of communism emerges here: Communists, in their own way, make arrangements to put the disrupted historical sequence of events (the transition from capitalism to communism) right. For this reason, they delivered the Russian people into the hands of the Mafia and set the stage for classical capitalism to flourish. This system, devised to impoverish the Russian people, compelled the public to say, "There is no other way out than communism."
On the other hand, communism continues to exist in secret. The cadres of today are the legacy of former communists. These people, deeply imbued with Marx's dialectic materialism, have never abandoned their dreams for the communist cause. Being true communists, they are implementing and advocating capitalism at present.
Behind the scenes, however, communism is actually in power in Russia. In the hands of the ardent communist cadre, the capitalist lifestyle becomes a tool to impoverish the public and make conditions wretched for them. Meanwhile, a policy of the instilling of irreligiousness and immorality is kept alive. Such tactics and inspirations ensure moral deprivation and a society distant to the existence of God, which make people more liable to embrace communism.
The power held by Russian communists, who still march with posters of Stalin or Lenin in their hands, must not be belittled or ignored. Communists see the collapse of the USSR in 1991 as a temporary withdrawal on the way to their ultimate aim, as foreseen by Lenin in his book One Step Forward, Two Steps Back (1904). In this book, Lenin presents his views as follows:
Russia's Communist leader Stalin, widely regarded as the bloodiest dictator in the history of the world, took over the fields of the peasants in the name of the policy of collectivization which was intended to do away with private property. All the Russian villagers' crops were collected by armed officials. As a result there was a terrible famine. Millions of women, children, and the elderly who could find nothing to eat ended their lives writhing in hunger. The death toll in the Caucasus alone was 1 million.
In our day, communism has put the "one step forward, two steps back" tactic into practice and has taken a step backwards. For this reason, communists carry out their activities in various countries under the guise of different names, spreading the message that communism is no longer a threat to the world. Nonetheless, the concept of "fight" inherent in dialectical materialism, under all conditions, turns communism into an endless "source of bloodshed" for all humanity. No matter under which guise or label it is presented, it can bring nothing but cruelty and misery to mankind, since it considers dialectical struggle as an inherent law of history.
The measure which should be taken against this danger is to "dry up the marsh," in which it thrives. Trying to squash individual mosquitoes, that is, the advocates of communism, one by one would be quite inadequate to the task of drying up the entire marsh. As long as the marsh remains, mosquitoes will keep on proliferating.
Which method will ensure a complete removal of the problem?
Darwin's theory of evolution is the common basis upon which Marxists, Marxist-Leninists, Maoists and advocates of other versions of communism—and even of fascism—rest. This theory, in the words of Marx, is "the basis of all natural sciences" from the perspective of communism. From the point of view of materialist teaching, Engels considered Darwin equivalent to Marx.
Without Darwinism, there exists no communism. Consequently, the only true antidote against communism, which cost more than 100 million lives in the 20th century, and which is still stealthily trying to get organised and build up strength, is the ideological and scientific refutation of Darwinism. When it is revealed that Darwinism is a collapsed theory in terms of science, that living things did not come into existence by evolution but were flawlessly created by God, then neither Marx, nor Lenin, nor Mao and nor any militants, who shed blood or prepare to do so from the inspiration they receive from the posters of those leaders which hang on their walls, will remain in the world.
The removal of the deceit of Darwinism will bring about the end of "source of bloodshed" such as communism while making people turn to God, our true Creator and Lord, and live by the morals revealed by Him.

Seattle, WA (KCPQ) -- A woman wants to keep spirits high — by giving away free weed.
The 'Weed Fairy' — whose fliers contain the Twitter name Danksy Appleweed and who says her real name is Yeni Sleidi — is posting signs on Capitol Hill, with a nugget of pot taped to them.
The woman behind the signs says she just wants to give people a gift in these tough times.
"I think people are a little worried, because this is something new, and suspicious," she said. "But it's real weed and it's not dangerous. It will get you high."
The Weed Fairy is from California and is in town for only a few weeks.
She said she did a similar thing in New York a few months ago, and the positive feedback keeps her going.
On Seattle's Capitol Hill, it was getting a lot of reaction, both on the street and social media, and regardless of how you feel about marijuana, the fliers are getting a laugh out of people.
"I wouldn't take anything for free from someone I didn't know," said resident Jvon Spann.
Others were tempted to grab the free high.
"I would smell it and if it's good and I could tell it was good, then perhaps," resident Corey Kimball said.
The woman behind the unconventional distribution says she just wants to make people smile.
"It's definitely easy to get it in Seattle, but not everyone has the money," Yeni Sleidi, said.
From trees to lights posts to utility poles, the Weed Fairy is leaving her mark all over Capitol Hill.
"It definitely makes me laugh to be the national Weed Fairy," Sleidi said.
On Twitter she goes by @Danksyappleweed and the comments and retweets are spreading faster than she can put the fliers up.
"I decided to give it out to people during the government shutdown; people's reaction was instantly positive," Sleidi said.
"I've been more open about it in Washington. f you are around Capitol Hill you will probably see me," Sleidi said.
With pot now legal in Washington, Sleidi said she isn't afraid of getting arrested.
"They probably have worse things to worry about. I don't think they will come after the Weed Fairy," Sleidi said.
Seattle police admit her free giveaway is not on their priority list but there are concerns that people under 21 could get their hands on it.
"The marijuana, once it's out there in that format … it's really unregulated, it could fall into anybody's hands," Seattle police spokesman Drew Fowler said.
"I try to leave it in areas that the majority of the people are of age," Sleidi said.
"If this was in a more of a suburban area, it would me more of a concern. But this Capitol Hill," Kimball said.
She's already posted about 40 fliers with free pot.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced today that Ross Stores Inc., of Pleasanton, Calif., has agreed to pay a $3.9 million civil penalty. The penalty agreement has been accepted provisionally by the Commission in a 3-0 vote.
The settlement resolves CPSC staff's charges that from January 2009 to February 2012, Ross knowingly failed to report to CPSC immediately, as required by federal law, that it sold or held for sale, about 23,000 children's upper outerwear garments with drawstrings at the neck or waist. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (which were incorporated into a consensus industry voluntary standard in 1997) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as sweatshirts and jackets.
In May 2006, the Commission posted a letter on its website which stated that staff considered children's upper outerwear with drawstrings at the hood or neck to be defective and present a substantial risk of injury to young children. In July 2011, based on the 1996 CPSC guidelines and the 1997 voluntary standard, CPSC issued a final rule which designates the hazards presented by drawstrings in children's upper outerwear as substantial product hazards.
Ross's distribution of some children's garments occurred during the same period of time as CPSC's investigation and negotiation of a 2009 civil penalty. The $500,000 penalty that Ross paid in 2009 was to settle staff charges that it failed to report four series of children's upper outerwear drawstring garments distributed between 2006 and 2008. Ross's distribution of the other garments in this matter occurred either partially or entirely after the effective date of CPSC's Final Rule. There have been no reported injuries associated with the recalled garments.
In addition to paying a monetary penalty, Ross has agreed to implement and maintain a compliance program designed to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 15(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act and the Final Rule. Ross also agreed to enhance its existing compliance policies by ensuring that its ongoing program contains written standards and policies, a mechanism for confidential employee reporting of compliance related questions or concerns, and appropriate communication of company compliance policies to all employees through training programs. Ross has designed and implemented a system of internal controls and procedures to ensure that the firm's reporting to the Commission is timely, truthful, complete, accurate, and in accordance with applicable law. The company will also take steps to ensure that prompt disclosure is made to management of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of such internal controls.
The Commission, in cooperation with Ross and/or other firms that manufactured, imported, or distributed the Garments, announced recalls of the garments listed below between March 2010 and May 2012:

Federal law requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to report to CPSC immediately (within 24 hours) after obtaining information reasonably supporting the conclusion that a product contains a defect which could create a substantial product hazard, creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, or fails to comply with any consumer product safety rule or any other rule, regulation, standard, or ban enforced by CPSC.
In agreeing to the settlement, Ross denies staff charges that it knowingly failed to inform the Commission about the garments, as required by CPSA §15(b).

Just Another Win
Yankees Play Well And Win Game 3
It was just another win for the Yankees yesterday. The offense was good, the starter did well, and the bullpen was great. It seems like this is how it always is, aside from a few random losses like in game 2. It was a good game yesterday. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays 6-4.
Pitching Analysis: Andy Pettitte was the starter for the Yankees yesterday. He was pretty good, but not nearly as good as in his flirt with perfection in his last start. Andy went 6 innings and allowed 4 runs on just 4 hits. He issued 5 walks, a bit much, and he struckout 3 along the way. It was a nice outing for Andy as he picked up his 13th win of the year. I hope he decides to come back next year.
To leadoff the 2nd inning, Randy Ruiz hit a solo homer. I was pissed. It looked so foul. The umpires used the instant replay on it. It ws clearly foul in my eyes, but I always give the Yankees the benefit in the call. To my surprise, the umpires ruled the ball a foul ball, which really bothered Ruiz. He grounded out in that at-bat, but he hit his solo homer later in the game.
The bullpen did a fantastic job yesterday. Robertson, Bruney, and Hughes combined for 3 scoreless innings. Robertson and Bruney picked up holds, and Hughes got his 3rd save. Bravo boys!
Defensive Analysis: The defense was sloppy in some places yesterday, but it made enough of the plays for the win. In the 5th with runners on 1st and 2nd, a comebacker was hit to Andy, who looked toward 2nd to throw the ball. But neither Jeter nor Cano were covering the bag. Everyone was safe. Luckily, Andy got out of the inning unscathed. In the 6th with a man aboard, Bautista hit a ball deep to center that was a tough play for Melky. Melky couldn't make the play. Hairston fired the ball to Jeter, who tried to get Bautista out at 3rd. But Jeter made a wild throw and Andy didn't back it up, and Bautista scored! An inside the park 2-run homer? No. It was a triple, RBI, and an E6. Whatever it was, it was sloppy.
Offensive Analysis: The Yankees made up for getting shutout by jumping out to an early lead in the 2nd. My man Melky got himself an RBI single to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. In the 4th, Robinson Cano led off the inning with a homer. 2-0 Yankees. With 1 out, Melky came up. He was hit by the pitch in his cute little butt (again) and he screamed before the ball even hit him. Oh, Melky. Cano and many others in the dugout where laughing at Leche. Why do they always laugh when Melky gets hurt? Is it THAT funny? Well, Melky seemed alright, so I guess it was. Just another Melky moment.
Yeah, Leche!!!
After the Jays tied up the game in the 4th, Mark Teixeira led off the inning with a home run. They were too busy showing a replay from the previous inning and when they went back to the game, Tex was rounding the bases. Go Tex! 3-2 Yankees. In the 6th, Alex Rodriguez came through with another clutch RBI single up the middle. I like this Arod. He is not trying to hit homers and be the big star anymore. I always said that sometimes all you need is a single, and now Arod sees that. Good for him. Posada added an RBI single of his own in that inning, making it 5-2 Yankees. Melky tacked on another one with another RBI single in the 9th.
It was a good game to watch yesterday. There was a little bit of everything. Homers, singles, interesting plays, instant replay, good pitching, it was just a good game. Better because we won. The heroes are Melky Cabrera, for again provideing comic relief for the club and for his 2 RBIs, Robinson Cano for going 3-4 with a homer, and the bullpen for holding the lead. The Smelly Sox who cheat at Fenway were not at Fenway yesterday and they lost! So the Yankees now have an 8.5 game lead!!! There are only a few weeks left, and we have a huge lead! Don't get me wrong. A lot can happen, it is possible. But hey. It isn't probable. Sexy mu..mum..mu Mitre pitches today. I hope he does well. GO YANKEES!!!!!

Congrats on being number 11 on the Latest Leader's list!
Uh-oh, Virginia. I'm watching the game and the Blue Jays are up 3-0 on Mitre so far (it's the first inning). Could you tell your guy to get somebody out?????? Hope you're having a nice holiday weekend.
Congrats on the win! I decided to check your blog out after I saw you on the latest leaders page. You have a really nice blog!
Congratulations Virginia.Maybe whenyour Yankees play my Dodgers I can get some autographs for you! Almost Tuesday.
lol you like the latin boys, huh? Mitre did a great job today, but the defense…how can i put it lightly?? SUCKED. -.- this is the second time i see Mitre do really well, but the team just didn't back him up today =(
I know it was a tough day for the Yankees today! Actually my Red Sox were the only team to win today out of the Yankees, Rangers & TB!! And Congrats on #11.
Latest Leaders #11! Nice! After I saw that on a couple of people's pages I checked it out and I saw I hopped to #25! Ahh! That's exciting!
As far as today goes, I'm not sure what to think. I guess I'll have to see the encore for myself to witness the mayhem. Oy vey.
This win was great, but today's loss was miserable. 14-8… man, we got destroyed. Our whole team's been too solid to blame one person, so we have to get it together and take BOTH GAMES in tomarrow's double header. CC and AJ are on the mound, so it should be sweet to see. I'm with you Virginia, I had to turn this one off early as well… (Although I kept changing it back to YES to peak lol.)

Monticello parolee arrested for stealing credit card
June 3, 2013 —
Monticello police arrested Anthony J. Morelli (39) of Monticello on May 31. A few days earlier, Monticello police received a complaint from a Woodbourne woman that her purse had been stolen from a parked vehicle on Landfield Avenue after the car window had been smashed out.
The victim was then alerted that a credit card from her stolen purse had been used at a village of Monticello convenience store shortly after her purse was stolen. Monticello police investigated and were able to obtain surveillance footage from that convenience store which showed Morelli using the stolen credit card to buy $93.53 of cigarettes.
Morelli was arraigned before village of Monticello justice Josephine Finn and remanded to the Sullivan county jail without bail pending further court action. An investigation is continuing and possible additional charges are pending against Morelli. Morelli is currently on parole in New York State until June 2015 for a prior conviction of felony possession of forged instrument.

Is it because of the promised passage of the "Dream Act" or a signal the national economy is starting to improve?
Last week, Beeville police officers and sheriff's deputies helped capture a group of suspected Mexican nationals after their Dodge pickup smashed into an oak tree in thick brush off Ellis Road.
Patrolman Jared Moore said as many as 18 persons were thought to have been hidden away in the vehicle. Five of them were captured later during another routine traffic stop within the city.
Police Chief Joe Treviño and Sgt. Jason Alvarez said that the number of vehicles bringing illegals through Bee County is increasing this year.
Increased traffic and the fact that local officers are getting better at spotting their vehicles are the reasons this year has been so active for city and county officers, the chief believes.
In late July, local lawmen had to chase down suspected illegal immigrants who bailed out of their vehicles and ran for safety on several occasions. In each incident, the suspects were caught and turned over to U.S. Border Patrol agents. And the same is being reported in all our nearby newspapers.
One would think the winter or spring would be a preferable time for these "visitors" to venture through South Texas, particularly crowded into the bed of a truck or stowed away in a secret compartment.
However, Alvarez pointed out that smuggling humans can be a lucrative business for those who are already familiar with smuggling drugs into Texas. The coyotes and drug cartels know the roads and highways as well as anyone who lives in this area.
The immigrants pay between $4,000 and $7,000 a head to be smuggled into the country, Alvarez said. "And you get a load of 20?" At $100,000 a load, that is good money.
Also, the roads are busy. "Right now, they think they can mingle with the oil field trucks," the officer said. South Texas highways have a steady stream of pickups carrying oil field crews to work and back.
Law-abiding citizens should appreciate our police, sheriff's, DPS and other officers for working together well and protecting our lives and property from these smugglers who think nothing of endangering entire truck loads of people – sometimes with tragic consequences in this rough terrain.
And we especially admire these officers for racing and chasing after criminals in this extreme heat wave.

Apart from the lack of bass guitar which makes this record a little less thumpy, this is thoroughly a very addictive and fun record.

For some reason I only noticed the lack of bass on their latest. Everything before felt perfectly fine as the production and the heavy guitars and drums hide it pretty well.

Do you ever notice that the same people seem to volunteer and/or pitch in, to do what's needed, to get things done, time after time? I am far from superwoman. I don't have my hand in every cookie jar, and I don't intend to. But I do stretch myself. I'm a mom of three little ones, a wife, daughter to my dad who needs more and more love and attention than ever…I'm also a Brownie Troop Leader, a member of the Board of Christian Ed at church, and a member of the school PTA. I'm a blogger, as well, which means I'm a small business owner and CEO and office manager for myself. I spent the first of what will be many mornings helping out in the kids' classes at school the other day. It got me thinking. Why don't more people volunteer? Why don't more folks help out?
My husband tells me over and over, and over again that I stretch myself too thin. Why do you put these things onto yourself? he wonders. Because someone has to, I reply, often with a bit of sass in my tone. I can't bear the thought of kids not being able to experience the fun of being part of a Girl Scout troop, or whatever it is, just because no one was able to commit their time. He gets frustrated. I get frustrated. I still add to my plate. I won't lie, and I know I should be saying no more than I say yes…but I don't. I can't.
I think that in this day and age, most of us stretch ourselves too thin. It's kind of hard not to. But I think too that a lot of us are hesitant to step forward and volunteer to help because we are concerned about making a huge time commitment. I just want to do a Call to Action- a little action…kind of like baby steps.
It's like this. Today, I helped out at centers in preschool, and got to know some of the kids in my daughters' class. Then, I went to Kindergarten, and wasn't sure how I'd be helping today, but quickly saw a need and offered my services. What did I do? I tore lesson sheets out of math books and sorted them into piles for the teacher, stapling them in groups of 16 (number of students) for both morning and afternoon kindergarten. I did this for 4 lessons. It took me about 15 minutes. Anyone could do this….it wasn't a lot of time, it could easily have been done at home, and it meant that Mrs. R. could then focus all of her attention on the students in the classroom which is what matters most to me.
Stepping up, volunteering, helping out- there are SO many ways to help. It doesn't have to be a huge time commitment, nor a regular one- it can be as simple as sorting some papers and stapling them for 20 minutes, once a month. Even helping a local food pantry- and I can't tell you how many have very, very bare shelves, all over the country- imagine the impact we could make if we each just bought ONE item (even with a coupon or a buy one get one free promotion) to donate.
Can you imagine how much help we could offer if ALL of us decided to give a few minutes a month to a teacher, a church, an organization we support the cause for? We don't have to give a lot of time or money- but if we all give a little of our time or money, it'll go a very, very long way.

Imagine a New Mexico with a healthy mosaic of native grasslands and woodlands amidst vast open prairies and mountainous regions. Landscapes with antelope, deer, elk and bighorn sheep. Running water in bosques of willows and cottonwoods, alive with the song of birds and the bloom of native wildflowers.
Our landscapes are out of balance – what we see today is not the way things were, or should be in the future. Restoring landscapes is not just about aesthetics. It's about economics, fish, wildlife, and people. And it's the right thing to do.
This vision of New Mexico may no longer be the stuff of history books alone, thanks to a rapidly growing initiative involving the BLM, landowners, other agencies, conservation groups and industry partners."Restore New Mexico" aims to bring back millions of acres of the state's native grasslands, woodlands and riparian areas to their pre-1900 ecological states. Since that time, human impacts from rapid population growth, transportation networks, oil and gas development and livestock grazing have taken their toll on the landscape.
The BLM has worked with ranchers, landowners, conservation groups, the oil and gas industry, the New Mexico Association of Conservation Districts, county governments, and a variety of agencies (the State Land Office, the Game and Fish Department, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service) on the project since it was launched in 2005. Last year, the BLM and its partners restored and reclaimed 145,000 acres of public land, much of it in southeastern New Mexico. Over the next several years, we hope to restore and reclaim over a million acres of federal, state and private land.
A core component of Restore New Mexico is to stem the growth of the invasive shrubs that have taken over the state's grasslands in the past 150 years. Targeted species include mesquite, creosote, juniper, catclaw, tarbush and salt cedar, which today dominate much of the Land of Enchantment.
The BLM will tackle invasive plants with a combination of mechanical treatments, prescribed fires and chemical applications. Once invasive brush species have been treated, the use of prescribed fires can be returned to landscapes as a natural process to rejuvenate grasslands and woodlands. Treating salt cedar will allow cottonwoods, willows, and other native plants to once again flourish in the state's streamside areas.
"Restore New Mexico" aims to bring back hundreds of thousands of acres of the state's native grasslands, woodlands and riparian areas to their pre-1900 ecological states.
While many people have concerns about the use of herbicides, in many cases they are the only options available to treat today's degraded landscapes. The good news is that modern herbicides are not persistent like DDT and other early chemicals; they break down rapidly after they are applied. They also treat targeted species while not being toxic to grasses, fish or wildlife.
But bringing our grasslands and river systems back to their historic brilliance won't be the only benefit of Restore New Mexico. Restoration projects will also improve local watersheds and aid local economies.
For instance, reducing creosote will spur the growth of ground cover (grasses and forbs) in historic grasslands. Creosote, like mesquite and salt cedar, has extensive root systems that remove soil moisture needed by other plants. Some brush species also alter soil chemistry, making it extremely difficult for native grasses to return. Once landscapes are transformed into monocultures of brush, their value to fish, wildlife and people is greatly diminished.
Healthy ground cover, however, slows rainfall, allowing water to percolate into subsurface aquifers, instead of merely running off. Restoring watersheds in turn provides more sustainable drinking water for local communities, irrigable water for farms, and water for fishing and other recreational uses.
Restore New Mexico also aims to transform features of the landscape that are fragmenting grassland ecosystems – a big problem for wildlife that need large undisturbed areas to exist. In Eddy County, the BLM is identifying abandoned oil and gas field well pads and roads and removing the caliche (a material rich in clay that's used to stabilize dirt roads) in those areas. Because caliche is sterile, native vegetation cannot grow on those sites.
The BLM and its partners in the oil and gas industry are taking out this caliche and reseeding sites, as needed, with native plants. The caliche is then taken other areas to maintain or improve roads. We are working together to reclaim sites with the largest habitat areas.
In other parts of the state, habitat for the antelope, Aplomado falcon and other species will be refurbished through companion efforts under Restore New Mexico. Ranchers who participate in the program must refrain from grazing treated areas until grasslands are restored. They will not be authorized to increase the sizes of their herds on public lands, but they will get "fatter calves faster." Additional benefits will accrue to wildlife and watershed health.
Improving the landscape provides economic benefits as well. By expanding the land that hunting and fishing can take place on, the BLM and its partners are aiding an industry that is already worth more than $330 million per year to New Mexico.
Restore New Mexico is therefore about many things: restoring landscapes, restoring wildlife habitat, restoring watersheds and water supplies, and restoring the natural history of our great state.The Restore New Mexico science edition newsletter.
Restoring grasslands will benefit species like the lesser prairie-chicken in southeastern New Mexico, and prevent the need to list it as a threatened species.

It's no secret, Gov. Chris Christie has done his fair share of trash talking over the years, and now in his own state of New Jersey, a new ban targeting high school students who talk trash at sporting events will be soon going into effect.
The office of the Attorney General of New Jersey along with the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) plan to enforce new rules that will make it clear that harassing conduct related to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or religion will not be tolerated, New York TV station WPIX reported.
The "trash talk" ban will affect nearly 500 high schools, 250,000 student athletes and tens of thousands of coaches this fall.
But will this ban really work? Some student-athletes are skeptical.
"When dealing with athletes on a professional level, yeah I think a ban would work," Fort Lee High School senior Samuel Yeom told WPIX. "But on a high school level, it shouldn't be done. It will be hard to regulate because we don't have refs with super hearing."
Others think the ban will do more harm than good when it goes into effect.
"Like you're taking a huge part of the sport away from the kids," Edgewater resident Joe Kim said. "They sometimes need that as motivation to work harder. How are they going to play with the intensity and all that stuff you need to get to the next level."
According to the new rules, any coach or student-athlete who is cited for what is deemed "unsportsmanlike" misconduct will be disqualified from participating in the next two scheduled events.
Depending on the severity of the misconduct, further investigation may follow suit.

December 1, 2011 —
Before I drove to Pittsburgh, PA to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends, I thought about all of the songs that have been written on the subject and selected my CDs for the ride with that in mind. Nostalgic to a fault, I prepared myself for the eight-hour drive by choosing the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Road Trippin'" to begin my journey, and headed out in the pouring rain—which stayed with me throughout the 400 miles, door to door.
Janet Jackson's "Call on me" got me thinking about my mom and the wonderful holidays we shared over the years, while the Rembrandt's "I'll be there for you" reminded me that she is gone—but not forgotten. Growing up, my parents had a lot of friends and instilled in me the importance of building deep, meaningful relationships with people outside of my immediate family, setting the groundwork for a lifetime of love, support and good times with a group of close-knit pals, who have stood by me (and vice-versa) through thick and thin. Through the speakers, Dionne Warwick told me "That's what friends are for."
According to a study documented in the American Sociological Review (asr.sagepub.com), "Americans are thought to be suffering a loss in the quality and quantity of close friendships since (at least) 1985." The study states that 25% of Americans have no close confidants, and research has found a link between fewer friendships and psychological regression. The study goes on to postulate that "making friends seems to be trouble to a lot of people and having no friends can be emotionally damaging in some cases."
Thankful that I have little trouble making new friends and that I cherish those that I've kept for years, I listened to Bill Withers' version of "Lean on Me" and reminisced about my friend Bob (whose home I was headed for) and the 30-odd years we have been best friends. I couldn't help but think about the pals that we shared (and lost) over the years as Bette Midler's "Friends" reverberated, taking me back to the '80s and the AIDS crisis. Midler's voice quavered as she sang "I had some friends but they're gone—someone came and took them away... and from the dusk till the dawn, here is where I'll stay."
The gloomy weather and monotonous drive could have sent me down a path of maudlin depression, but I shook it off and decided to accentuate the positive, reliving the parties, holidays and celebrations that have provided so much joy in our lives. Since it was Thanksgiving, I made a mental list of the many things I am grateful for and surprised myself, realizing that my cup runneth over. C.S. Lewis once wrote that "To the ancients, friendship seemed the happiest and most fully human of all loves; the crown of life and the school of virtue. The modern world, in comparison, ignores it."
I'm not sure that is entirely true, and it's certainly not my experience, since my circle of close friends consider our kinship intensely important and precious. With the CD player in "shuffle mode," James Taylor's voice intensified my reverie as his recording of "You've Got a Friend" began. Www.about.com [2] says that "Few other songs come close to this song's simple poignance of friends helping and supporting each other," and I heartily agree.
Pulling up to the house, Bob and his husband Ron came racing out to greet me, swept me into their arms and held me close just as the last strains of "Thank you for being my friend" faded out from the "Golden Girls" tribute playing in the truck. Hugs and kisses ensued, and the holiday celebration began in earnest, as the house filled with more company, good food and more dogs than I could count. I threw caution to the wind and joined the madness as we lit a fire, played endless games of Aggravation and spent four glorious days staying up late and burning up the phones calling our loved ones who couldn't be there.
We laughed, we cried and partied like (aging) rock stars and the Thanksgiving feast was peppered with endless toasts to friendships (old and new). I was reminded once again, of how fortunate I am to have such wonderful, loving, caring and supportive relationships and took a moment to remind Bob that he is (IMHO) "the wind beneath my wings."
Exhausted (and hung over), I heaved myself into the truck to begin the trek homeward, thrilled to have been there, yet happy to be going home, where I have more wonderful friends, a job that I love and (hopefully) new adventures waiting in the wings. I slipped a disc into the player, waved goodbye to my hosts, pumped up the volume and heard the Beatles reminding me that life is good—with a little help from my friends.

By Karl Terry: PNT Managing Editor
Problems with Africanized bees in Roosevelt County may be getting worse after a Portales woman was stung multiple times by bees in her back yard Tuesday.
That bee incident, as well as a few others this year, are reason enough for residents to be cautious, but preliminary data on test samples being sent in by a local pest control agent so far show that 42 percent of the samples are coming back positive as being the Africanized bee strain.
According to Portales Police Capt. Lonnie Berry, dispatch received a call shortly before noon on Tuesday requesting an ambulance for a woman in the 1200 block of North Avenue A who had received multiple bee stings.
Berry said the victim related that she had been pulling weeds near a storage building and the bees swarmed her and began to sting her. She was able to call out for help and neighbors heard her cries and came to her aid.
"When they (neighbors) got there she was pretty much covered in bees," Berry said. "Neighbors were able to brush them off and get her away from them."
Berry said he didn't know how many stings the woman received but said she was stung multiple times on the head, face, neck and arms. She was transported to Roosevelt General Hospital and later released according to Berry.
"This is the first time we've had an incident where someone was stung in the city," Berry said.
Berry said pest control specialist Bill Moyer of Southwestern Pest Control was called to help remove and destroy the bee colony. Berry said the hive, which has to be destroyed to get rid of the bees, stretched the entire length of the shed.
Africanized bees were first confirmed to be in Roosevelt County in July of 2005 after a colony inside the wall of a house in the Lingo area reacted to the noise of a lawn mower.
Moyer said after seeing the number of bee calls grow rapidly last year, he was able to arrange to have samples of bees he takes when he goes out to remove a colony tested by the USDA at the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Tucson, Ariz. to see if they are the Africanized strain of honey bee.
Moyer says he has gotten back results on 48 samples so far this year and still has 60 waiting to be tested including the one from the attack this week. Of the results he has received back 42 percent have been Africanized.
"I'm kinda surprised at how many colonies are Africanized," Moyer said.
Moyer says while all the testing does is confirm whether or not an individual colony was Africanized, what he feels is needed is a testing program to evaluate how far north Africanized bees have spread in New Mexico.
Moyer is on the agenda to address Roosevelt County commissioners about the problem at their meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday. He said that he will present a slide show featuring the data he has collected. He plans to be joined at the meeting by State Entomologist Carol Sutherland of New Mexico State University.

Nuggets get the loss, Rockies show who's boss
I feel the need today to mention how much I respect/detest Kobe Bryant and hate losing to the LA Lakers. That's all I can say about that game last night.
On the other hand, the Rockies pull out an Interleague win against the Tigers ending their seven game winning streak.
Huston Street snags his 100th win.
Sorry for the recent lack of regular entries.
I'm still in the process of moving and will be for a few weeks yet.
We've been moving stuff a little bit every day but for the most part we sleep in the mountains now.
The Rockies are back in town on Monday. I won't be at that game as I have to work. But I'll be at Tuesdays game bright and early.

How do you make a hyperlink to a website on a comment on a blog? i created a blog.
Hey D,
Nice picts!
That save last night by Street was sweet. I could be wrong but seems like the team is playing better.
I wish I could make the game tomorrow but got too many other things to do. Have a great time at the game Tuesday.
R-LUV-Thanks, I think we're playing a little better too. I just hate being so far behind so early on.
HOWIE-Welcome to the Rant, just type in your URL in the comment box. It should show up as a link…D
D – great pics! I thought the Nuggets were going to pull it out last night.
AND another win today! Rox take 2 of 3 from the Tigers and end the road trip at 5/5. Huston is my new hero and Atty actually gets a double. It's a banner day!
Awesome pics and vid. I assume that's near the new place. Very cool.
See ya Tues. and Wed. at BP. We'll stay outta your way. 😀
Funny you mention the Lakers/Nuggets series… I can't seem to get away from it here in SoCal… highlights are on TV all the time. I'm just not a huge basketball fan. From what I've seen, though, it sure has been a tight series.
JULIA-Thanks, you and me both.
LUVMYROX-Hell yeah…Go rockies, BTW you guys are never in my way.
MATT-It's all about the Monday game now. We have to beat LA here in Denver or its over…D
I told you Hambone would get you a win. lol
It only took 4 tries.
You guys had a rough and tumble game, and I am sorry to hear Chris I might be out fir a while for the Rockies.
Love the scenery.
Hearing that water and seeing the snow is the reason I am going to be a "westcoaster" in my old age.
Wonder if they would mind me also being a Mariners' blogger by then………….
I live in a metropolitan city most of my life, and want to be bound to nothing bu fresh air and cool breezes when I am old and gray.
Rays Renegade
RAYSREN-Yea, having Iannetta out will hurt, who knows maybe we'll get to see Sal Fasano??. I think I've got my retirement plan worked out. Summers in the Colorado mountains and winters in the Arizona desert. Funny how that will co-inside perfectly with Rockies baseball🙂. So you still tossing around the thought of a trip out here to usually sunny Colorado??…D
Wow, who can blame you. That town is picturesque! I feel the freshness just sitting here at my computer. I must make a trip out west again, sometime in my life?

thats what I used too.. cups with out the values in them.
thats what I used too.. cups with out the values in them.
this was hard for me to as Michael stopped taking a bottle ( while I was at work) at 10 months... He would only drink on tap and from a cup held by an adult. I bought so many different sippy cups- including the Nuby. Well, Michael wouldn't have it. Then, around 10.5 - 11 months, he started drinking from a straw!!! So, we use those straw cups...
Proud Mommy to Michael who is 3 now! Michael was nurseynursed for 2 years!!
I did not make up this persona, but if I did, I would make myself 50 pounds lighter and 5 years younger!!!!
We like the new Nuk sippy cup!

Hi there,
I was about to ask the very same question re: cups - tried to look the Nuby cups up but can't find anywhere that sells them online. Where do you get yours?
I have tried a lot of them and found the nuby good as well as the take & toss --even though I reuse them. My ped suggested to just put a few ice cubes in and let your LO play with it. Also on the nuby if you squeeze it in their mouth, a tiny bit of the liquid will shoot in --giving them the idea. Then one day they are drinking out of it! Good luck.
Proud first time Mom and wife at 40 and loving it. Made it BF to 1 year and going strong.
The nuby one was a good idea, but too heavy when full enough for her to easily tip to drink from. I found a very similar Munchkin one (checked it out, good kind of plastic), that is smaller and easier to tip.
She is just now (11 months) starting to pick it up. We are using water since I'm not about to waste that much bm.
I know my friend got us the nuby cups and the Avent ones (that work with all the Avent stuff) because she liked those ... it will be a while for us, though ...
When I went back to work after having the summer off (I'm a teacher) DS refused the bottle. He was about 7 months. We found out by accident that he new how to suck from a straw. So we began using a straw and a cup. Eventually, he switched to the Nuby sippy cup - less of a mess than a cup and straw!! The only problem with the Nuby sippy is that DS somehow "breaks" the plastic nipple part that makes it spill proof. So they need to be replaced after awhile.

The new Volvo FE and Volvo FL trucks are now even easier to drive in city conditions where the demand is for fast, smooth and clean transport. The new trucks feature an enhanced driver environment, and the Volvo FL range is extended with a very competitive four-cylinder, 5-litre engine.
"Drivers often climb into and out of their trucks many times on each shift. That's why we've focused on creating a comfortable, convenient driver's environment with good visibility in every direction," says Claes Nilsson, President of Volvo Trucks.
The driver's working conditions have improved thanks to new, even clearer instrumentation and new ergonomic seats featuring an integrated headrest and safety belt. A reinforced seat and seat anchoring in the floor help improve safety in case of an accident.
Driving becomes more efficient thanks to two new, in-house designed eight- and five-litre engines:
"With their swift torque delivery at low revs, both engines are ideal for quick, comfortable and safe driving in cities and suburbs. Their easy driveability helps drivers keep up with tight work schedules and multiple transport assignments," says Ruddy Houtmeyers, Strategic Product Manager for Medium Duty Vehicles, Volvo Trucks.
"These engines meet the new Euro 6 requirements and their fuel consumption is on a par with our Euro 5 engines. The technological solution for meeting the Euro 6 demands is a combination of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and variable geometry turbine, a cooled EGR system and a particulate filter," continues Ruddy Houtmeyers.
A comprehensive range of transmissions complements the two new engines. Among the various options, it is now possible to equip the Volvo FE with I-Shift.
"The automated transmission can be customised with a distribution-specific option," explains Tobias Bergman, Product Manager Distribution and Refuse Segment, Volvo Trucks.
Another welcome new feature for drivers is that ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is now fitted as standard to both the Volvo FE and the Volvo FL. ESP helps the driver keep the truck on the road if it swerves unexpectedly or severely.
Volvo Trucks has also designed a unique 12-tonne version of the Volvo FL. With the most powerful engine in its segment (four-cylinder D5 with 240 horsepower), specially optimised I-Sync transmission and weighing 500 kg less than a corresponding truck with a 6-cylinder engine this is a highly competitive model.
"The new 12-tonner is a sharp contender in the largest medium duty segment. The truck is lighter, lower and more competitively priced than the current model. It increases customer productivity and efficiency at the same time as it offers the driver better working conditions," says Tobias Bergman.
"The truck is well-thought-out in every detail. Take for instance the smaller wheels, which lower the cab by five centimetres. This gives the driver better visibility all round and makes it easier to get in and out of the cab," adds Tobias Bergman.
A selection of front and side mirrors combined with the possibility of adding extra side, rear and door windows also contribute to the excellent all-round visibility for the driver.
In order to give the Volvo FE and Volvo FL a clearly identifiable Volvo image, the classic iron mark has been moved up to a new position below the windscreen. The dark section under the windscreen gives the cab a lower appearance, helping to create a modern look that blends in well with the traffic environment.
The redesigned headlamps and distinctive daytime running lights also emphasise the family relationship with the other new Volvo truck models. The lamps are integrated into the new bumper, which is a three-piece unit with corner sections made of steel for extra durability and inexpensive repairs in the event of minor bumps and scrapes.
The new Volvo FE and Volvo FL radiate premium transport efficiency inside and out. Design Director Rikard Orell briefly summarises the development team's approach.
"We focused on all the details that were already good and made them even better. The idea is that the driver and truck together create the profile of an operator that represents transport quality at the very highest level."

'Time' is a good album, but art of me thinks this is where Diamond (and you can curse me for saying this) actually lost his vocal talent a bit. There are still songs here his vocal range can be heard and admired, but not as often as on earlier albums. Aside from that, there are some pretty awe-inspiring songs here, such as 'Witches' Dance' and 'The Afterlife'.

Shumpert's going to be amazing next season.
In years past we have always ended the season with a lot of hope and promise and saying "wait til next year" but Im sensing that's not the vibe with the season ending. The sense is that our best opportunity as slipped by.
I get this feeling certainly, I mean after all there has been countless articles about our age and every key old player (Sheed, Kidd, Camby) gave us nothing in the playoffs for various reasons.
But, I'm optimistic! Here's why.
1. There are a couple of role players we are gonna bring back that I think will be huge!: Copeland will be back and will be playing for a contract, look for his D to improve this off season too. Kmart will be back and with a full training camp I like what he will bring. Priggs would be great and do not sleep on Q Rich
2. Shump: remember that playoff experience we all cried about him missing last year because of his knee? Well he got it! Shump was huge in our last game against Boston and Indy, those are huge confidence boosters! He has regained form on D too! He is over that huge psychological hump (I know from doing the same thing) that comes with this injury, it takes about 6 months after being cleared to be comfortable again and Shump is there...again all he needs to do now is just continue to rehab it to get it back to full strength
3. 3 million dollar exception: our core is locked up with Melo,Stat,Tyson,Felton,Shump, this may or may not be our starting 5 opening night, yet it represents a nice foundation to build around. Now players like Kmart and Q Rich get the vet minimum, Copeland and Pablo get Qualifying offer, then 3 million is a nice chunk of change to add a role player. This is not superstar money but its steady contributor money. Backup Center?
4.Continuity: This is huge! Felton is not out to outplay Lin anymore, that battle has been either won by him or is simply done being discussed, either way its a plus for us. Raymond is 1 more season removed from Portland too so no trying to put that to rest. We do not have to cap for major moves and that is good, the past 3 seasons it has been about making pieces come together and coach adapting to players, Players know each other and Woody!

Shumpert's going to be amazing next season.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Felton is overrated and plays too many minutes. He isn't the answer at PG, not even the best fit for Melo. We need a future PG badly.
shumpert is the key to our future. it'll be interesting to see if next year he can get his numbers up and maybe be a 15 pts, 7 reb, and 5 ast guy.
Felton is slowest PG in entire NBA he is waisting time & overdribbling
Knicks just to shore up their depth and make another run for it. Right now it really is about continuity and depth going forward. Idk if we can be contenders but the Knicks can build an identity and winning culture and come 2015 (I called this back in 2010) we can make moves to really compete. That year we might be able to get a max and a full MLE player to add to a knick roster that should be playoff worthy and have better overall chemistry.
There's a good chance Cope doesn't come back. His agent said he wants to get paid and someone will offer him more than the vet minimum. It's gonna be Shawne Williams all over again
Felton was our most consistent player throughout the playoffs
more than a PG we need a 2 way PF! We need a PF who can grab boards and/or block shots and are not a liability on the offensive end.
affordable options
1.Lamar Odom
2.Elton Brand
3.Jermaine Oneal
Long shots
1.JJ Hickson
2 Paul Milsap
3. Earl Clark
For PG's I would love simply to add Billups to fill in for Kidd
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Although the Knicks' offense isn't a problem, the offense has to be spread out in order to pull everyone into the gave defensively. If everyone is involved on offense rather than giving the ball to one guy and just watching him, we'll never get past as far as we got this year. The offensive is too predictable. Look at Lebron's and Wade's assist numbers. They're at 7 and 6 per game respectively. Melo needs to make the offense less predictable and average about 5 assists per game. That would round out the Knicks offense significantly. Melo has the ability to be top scorer every year but the Knicks will never go anywhere if he keeps that mentality. He needs to sacrifice that for the whole of the team. Lebron has become a true leader and involves everyone in the game. Will Melo ever learn that aspect of the game? I hope so. If Stat would become involved offensively I'm sure he would also be up to play defense. I agree Stat needs to learn the defensive schematics as well. He would have to learn to pass the ball out when he is double teamed down low because he won't be able to last too long with his rough inside play even if he is able to get those extra points through free throw shooting. Felton just needs to improve his shots because he is a decent PG, has the speed, can drive into the lane and kick out and has good court vision. It seem like when Tyson was struggling in those playoff games the team wasn't able to boost his morale by passing the ball to him more and letting him have a go against Hibbert. It was almost like letting Hibbert just gain in confidence and letting Tyson just shrivel away and not giving him any trust or opportunity to get one on Hibbert. It can be frustrating for a player.
"Everyone wants a champion's power, but no one wants his pain." - Amar'e Stoudemire
2nd, how did "all the stars align" for The Knicks
Sheed played well then got hurt and never returned
Stat was hurt most of the year
Shump was out for a while
Felton was hurt
Melo gets hurt before we embark on our toughest road trip of the season, then Tyson gets hurt during that trip and we start that trip off with the news that Stat was out for 6 weeks at least
Knicks got Boston first round who no one wanted in the 1st round.
Kidd has an 0-17 stretch to end the season
Novak took a step backwards
Miami goes on an Epic run that initially overtook us at top of the Conference then pretty much meant we finished no higher than 2nd
oh yeah...our MVP entered the playoffs with an injury, our 2nd leading scorer could not buy a shot, 3 players on our team come down with the flu during EC Semis
This was not a year of aligning stars! Woody coached his @ss off which is why it may seem that way but this was no easy run for our team.
So yeah there is hope for the future!

The Library is happy to announce that it was awarded a $40,000 grant from the California State Library to create what we are calling SmartGarden - a demonstration garden that teaches the importance of native plants and the necessity of water management. SmartGarden will demonstrate multiple components of water management (harvesting water from the Library's roof, creating rain gardens, diverting and purifying water through different methods) and contain at least six "story" beds (raised beds with an educational purpose or "story" with themes like native edibles, dye plants, or pollinator garden). The SmartGarden will be an enhancement to the existing Peter Dreyfus Garden area outside the Friends book sale.
We plan to have conceptual design created in early-September to present to the Parks & Recreation Commission. After that, we will hold a public meeting to get your input about other details of the garden.
The SmartGarden, as much as possible, will be developed "by" and function "for" the community. We need your help to make this project successful. Please sign up here to receive information about meeting dates, workshops, and volunteer opportunities.
For more information, contact Kristen Clark.

Meet Hank Baldree
The Theater Program at Tarleton State University provides comprehensive studies in performance, design, and technical elements. Hank Baldree, a sophomore from Lipan, Texas, has immersed himself in his classes which prepare students for a deadline-driven, production-oriented career. Tarleton Theater creates an environment that allows students to take creative risks as part of the learning process, and Hank has selected to concentrate on sound design. He is a member of Tarleton Players and represents this group in the Student Government Association House of Representatives.
Hank took a few moments to talk about his life as a Tarleton student.
1. Favorite Professor
My Favorite professor is Prudence Wehnert-Skinner, because I admire her devotion to her students and to the theatre. She has taught me a great deal about technical theatre.
2. Favorite subject to study within your major
My favorite subject to study in my major is sound design because I love being able to convey so much emotion through the sounds and music of a theatrical production.
3. Favorite subject outside your major
I really enjoy math and physics courses. They have helped me a great deal in the physics and math for the Theatre.
4. Favorite theater at Tarleton moment
My favorite theatre moment at Tarleton is when I got to go to the USITT (United States Institute of Theatre Technology) Annual Convention in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I was able to learn so much from theatre professionals and other theatre students.
5. Favorite on-campus place to study
My favorite on campus place to study is upstairs in the Library - usually at one of the computers or back behind the bookcase hidden way in the back. This is normally the quietest place in library and also where I can get more of my work done.
6. Favorite off-campus place to eat and/or hang out
My favorite place to eat during the semester is Beans and Franks. It is within walking distance and they have great food and awesome coffee!
7. Favorite out of class book to read
Even though I don't get a lot of time to read outside for class my favorite thing to read are plays - my favorite one being The Scottish Play (Macbeth).
8. Favorite musicians/band
My two favorite Musicians would have to be Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer. I am trying to become a sound designer and they are the two that really inspire me.

My LO is sleeping like crazy today... Last night he slept for about 4 1/2 hours (maybe 5, I am not sure, we both fell asleep nursing). He got up and had his morning gas and BM ritual for a few hours, then nursed for a longer time than he normally does, and then fell asleep. I actually had to wake him up after three hours and nurse him, then he slept four hours and I nursed him again... he doesn't have a fever, when he wakes up he is alert and normal... everything appears normal other than he is sleeping alot (I may pay for this tonight)
I have heard that when babies are growing they sleep alot, is that true? We went through the cluster feeding at 5 wks, which I thought was his 6 wk growth spurt early.
Normally he sleeps for 15 - 30 minutes between his feedings (every two hours like clockwork) until his night nursing then he sleeps for four hours and then we are back to an 1 1/2 to 2 hour nursings with short cat naps.
Just wondering if there is something I should worry about. (other than a possibility of not sleeping tonight)

Improving Search Engine Skills: Tips & Resources
Getting to Know Google Better
When using search engines, most educators and students use Google most frequently. There are lots of ways to get to know Google even better, and to apply those skills to your use of other search engines, whose value shouldn't be underestimated.
The Web site Virtual Technology Teacher is a great place to start learning more about how search engines work. The man behind the site is Jeremy Davis, an instructional technology coordinator based in California who has previously worked as a technology teacher and trainer. He hosts several free videos on his site, including one called "Advanced Google Searching." You can watch the video in your browser and take advantage of all the nooks and crannies of Google that will help make searching easier and more rewarding.
Alternatives to Google: A Crash Course
In our research at findingDulcinea, our preferred search engine for educational purposes is our very own, SweetSearch, which you can use right from this site. But before we launched SweetSearch, we became converts of a site called Zuula, which allows you to see search results from about a dozen different search engines. Just tab over from one to the next to compare results and uncover links you might not find in your favorite search engines.
We also like what Hakia is doing. Hakia claims to have "invented the categorized search," and indeed, your search results will be organized into sections, so instead of just seeing all kinds of random links about your search query, you see sections called "Headline News," "News and Interviews," "Biography," and so forth.
More Tips and Resources
The "How Search Engines Work" section of our Guide to Web Search has advice on how to use—and improve your use of—search engines, and links to tutorials and other publications from organizations like the ALA that are catered to students, parents and educators.
