PopeWatch: The Francis Effect and Nancy Pelosi's Bishop
Father Z has coined a phrase "the Francis Effect" that I fear we will all become quite familiar with:
Six months into this pontificate, and people are starting to go a little crazy.
For example, the Archbishop of Birmingham is talking about intercommunion with Anglicans, based on a document which dates back to 1993 and concerns the conditions necessary for intercommunion with the Eastern Orthodox. (In other words, that document doesn't apply. One is an actual Church with valid sacraments and the other is neither.)
For example, in the Archdiocese of Freiburg, Germany, some minor chancery official usurped authority which was not his in order to outline a "policy" that would allow the divorced and remarried in the diocese to receive Communion. (In other words, it remains entirely against the law and, whether he did it on his own or with the wink and nod of the diocese's administrator, someone oughta get their backside paddled, and hard.)
In some places, the Church's teaching on doctrine and morals are out the window.
Real colors are being revealed.
We have a prime example of the Francis Effect from Nancy Pelosi's pet Bishop: Robert W. McElroy. Appointed by Pope Benedict for some inexplicable reason as an auxiliary bishop of San Francisco in 2010, McElroy wrote a piece for the Jesuit rag America in 2005 in which he rode to the rescue of pro-abort Catholic politicians facing a potential risk of being denied the Eucharist for voting in favor of child murder in utero: Continue reading
Explaining the Democrat Positions on Iraq and Syria
Lying Worthless Political Hack = Gosnell
The Lying Worthless Political Hack, a/k/a Nancy minority leader of the House, has never been noted for either intellectual or verbal coherence but she outdid herself in her response to a question by John McCormack of The Weekly Standard:
At a Thursday press conference, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy with an exception for when the life and physical health of the mother is at risk.
Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer.
THE WEEKLY STANDARD: Madam Leader, you mentioned the bill that passed out of the House Judiciary committee. Members who have proposed that bill have done that in the wake of this murder trial in Philadelphia. They argue that there really isn't much of a moral difference between what someone like Dr. Gosnell did to infants born at 23, 24, 25 weeks into pregnancy, and what can happen [legally] at a clinic down the road in Maryland where a doctor says he'll perform an elective abortions 28 weeks into pregnancy. So the question I have for you is what is the moral difference between what Dr. Gosnell did to a baby born alive at 23 weeks and aborting her moments before birth?
PELOSI: You're probably enjoying that question a lot, I can see you savoring it. [Laughter in press corps] Let me just tell you this.
TWS: Could you answer the question?
PELOSI: Let me just tell you this. What was done in Philadelphia was reprehensible and everybody condemned it. For them to decide to disrespect a judgment a woman makes about her reproductive health is reprehensible. Next question.
TWS: So what's the moral difference? I just asked a simple question. … What's the moral difference then between 26 weeks elective abortion and the killing of that same infant born alive. This is the issue that they're trying to–
PELOSI: This is not the issue. They are saying that there's no abortion. It would make it a federal law that there would be no abortion in our country. You're taking the extreme case. You're taking the extreme case. And what I'm saying to you what happened in Philadelphia was reprehensible. And I do not think you.
TWS: [Inaudible]
PELOSI: I'm not going to have this conversation with you because you obviously have an agenda. You're not interested in having an answer.
TWS: [Inaudible]
PELOSI: I've responded to you to the extent that I'm going to respond to you. Because I want to tell you something. As the mother of five children, my oldest child was 6 years old the day I brought my 5th child home from the hospital, as a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. I don't think it should have anything to do with politics. And that's where you're taking it and I'm not going there.
TWS [after tape ends]: It was a simple question. You didn't answer. Continue reading
Lying Worthless Political Hack Sees Pro-Life Dead People
"Sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them."
Susan B. Anthony
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a\k\a the Lying Worthless Political Hack has been in the habit of making bizarre statements on a regular basis throughout her political career. However, she recently topped herself:
My chair was getting crowded in," said Pelosi. "I swear this happened, never happened before, it never happened since."
"My chair was getting crowded in and I couldn't figure out what it was, it was like this," she said.
"And then I realized Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, you name it, they were all in that chair, they were," said Pelosi. "More than I named and I could hear them say: 'At last we have a seat at the table.' And then they were gone."
Well, okay. Assuming that the Lying Worthless Political Hack wasn't simply hitting the sauce early in the day, I wonder what these ghosts would say to Pelosi. Considering that Pelosi is a total pro-abort, perhaps they would have said something like this: Continue reading
Lying Worthless Political Hack and Ex Cathedra
When the Lying Worthless Political Hack, aka Nancy Pelosi ex Speaker of the House, opens her mouth in regard to her purported faith, The Catholic Church, you know the results are going to be unintentionally hilarious:
CNSNews.com asked Pelosi, who is Catholic, whether she supported her church in the lawsuits it has filed, which argue that the administration's regulation violates the freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment.
"What about the 43 Catholic institutions [that] have now sued the administration over the regulation that requires them to provide contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortifacients in their health care plans?" CNSNews.com asked. "They say that violates their religious freedom. Do you support the Catholic Church in their lawsuits against the administration?"
"Well, I don't think that's the entire Catholic Church," Pelosi responded. "Those people have a right to sue, but I don't think they're speaking ex cathedra for the Catholic Church.
"And there are people in the Catholic Church, including some of the bishops, who have suggested that some of this may be premature," Pelosi said.
It is unclear why Pelosi would have pointed out that when an archbishop—such as Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C. or Archbishop Carlson of St. Louis—sues the federal government in actions designed to protect the First Amendment rights of American Catholics he is not speaking "ex cathedra."
"Ex cathedra" refers to the infallible authority that Catholics believe the pope exerts when he makes a formal and solemn declaration on matters of faith and morals. It is not a term to describe lawsuits the church files in civilian courts.
In a 1993 audience, Pope John Paul II quoted the first Vatican Council in explaining the Catholic understanding of the "ex cathedra" authority of the pope.
"When the Roman Pontiff speaks ex cathedra, that is, when in exercising his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians he defines with his supreme apostolic authority that a doctrine on faith and morals is to be held by the whole Church, through the divine assistance promised him in the person of St. Peter, he enjoys that infallibility with which the divine Redeemer wished to endow his Church in defining a doctrine on faith and morals," said the Vatican Council.
The Catholic teachings that sterilization, artificial contraception and abortion are morally wrong—the basis for the suits that the archdioceses, dioceses, universities, schools and charitable organizations have brought against the Obama administration–are in fact inalterable teachings that the church says are rooted in natural law.

Lying Worthless Political Hack Drops Pinch of Incense on Emperor's Altar
In a move that will come as no surprise to anyone who has paid the slightest attention to her political career, former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, or as I affectionately refer to her, the Lying Worthless Political Hack, indicated yesterday that she values her loyalty to her President far more than any loyalty to her Church:
"The administration has issued a regulation that will require all healthcare plans to cover sterilization and all FDA approved contraceptives including those that induce abortions. This will force Catholic individuals and institutions to act against their consciences. All across the nation.."
"Is this a speech or do we have a question disguised as speech?"
We cannot and will not comply with this law.
Will you stand with your fellow Catholics in opposing this law?
I'm going to stand with my fellow Catholics in supporting the administration on this. I think it was a very courageous decision that they made and I support it. Continue reading
Lying Worthless Political Hack Hates Catholic Conscience
It will come as little surprise to faithful readers of this blog, but the Lying Worthless Political Hack, as I affectionately refer to ex-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D. San Francisco), took the opportunity during an interview with the Washington Post to slam the Church she purportedly is a member of:
On abortion
Pelosi recently was criticized for the way she characterized a bill to amend Republican-proposed conscience exemptions for health-care reform that allow providers to refuse to perform abortions. Pelosi called the measure, which passed last month with some help from Democrats, "savage,'' and said, "When the Republicans vote for this bill today, they will be voting to say that women can die on the floor and health-care providers do not have to intervene, if this bill is passed. It's just appalling."
In retrospect, does she think that assessment went too far? Not at all, she said: "They would" let women die on the floor, she said. "They would! Again, whatever their intention is, this is the effect.''
Catholic health-care providers in particular have long said they'd have to go out of business without the conscience protections that Pelosi says amount to letting hospitals "say to a woman, 'I'm sorry you could die' if you don't get an abortion." Those who dispute that characterization "may not like the language,'' she said, "but the truth is what I said. I'm a devout Catholic and I honor my faith and love it .?.?. but they have this conscience thing'' that she insists put women at physical risk, although Catholic providers strongly disagree.
On one occasion, she said, laughing, one of her critics on the topic of abortion, speaking on the House floor, said, "Nancy Pelosi thinks she knows more about having babies than the pope. They think like this. And of course I do — I think the pope would agree — and I know more than you, too, mister.'' Continue reading
And Your Little Dog, Too!
Hands down the most entertaining political ad I've seen this year. John Dennis has the well-nigh hopeless task of defeating the Lying Worthless Political Hack, a\k\a Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House. In Pelosi's San Francisco District Che Guevara would probably be deemed to be a political moderate, but Dennis is running a feisty campaign nonetheless. Here is his website. He might be worth tossing a few dollars to if only as a salute for the entertainment value he is providing.
Did Jesus Have the Right to Life at the Moment of Conception?
That was a question posed to Nancy Pelosi in response to her recent assertion that she (and we) must pursue public policies "in keeping with the values" of Jesus Christ, "The Word made Flesh".
(Biretta tip: Breitbart.TV)
Anne Rice Breaks Up With Christianity
I quit being a Christian. I'm out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of …Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.
And with that announcement, Anne Rice publicly renounced her identity as a Christian on Facebook.
I'm compelled to wonder, however — who is the more preferable and honest of the two?
- The "Anne Rice"'s of the world — who recognize their open disagreement with traditional [Catholic / Orthodox] Christianity, and agree that they can no longer identify themselves as such because the moral positions they hold are fundamentally incompatible?
- The "Nancy Pelosi"'s of the world, who publicly repudiate various traditional moral positions of [Catholic / Orthodox] Christianity, yet simultaneously proclaim themselves "practicing Catholics" (up and including the reception of the Eucharist), and yet relegate their disagreements as "differences of opinion"?
How to Reverse the Catholic Exodus
The Values of the Word
I have to tip my blogging cap to the Lying Worthless Political Hack, aka Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House. Everytime I think she has hit bottom, she somehow manages to dig down a bit further. On May 6 she made this statement in a speech to the Catholic Community Conference:
"They ask me all the time, 'What is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?' And one time, 'What is your favorite word?' And I said, 'My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word."
"And that Word," Pelosi said, "is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn't it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word.
"Fill it in with anything you want. But, of course, we know it means: 'The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.' And that's the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we're prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up."
The Dignity and Worth of Every Person
The Lying Worthless Poltical Hack, a\k\a Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, tells Priests and Bishops to speak out on immigration from the pulpit based upon a biblical concern for "the dignity and worth of every person".
The respect that the Lying Worthless Political Hack has "for the dignity and worth" of the smallest and most helpless among us was well demonstrated by this quote from Naral Pro-Choice America in 2007 after Pelosi became speaker of the House:
"Americans who value freedom and privacy have many reasons to celebrate as Nancy Pelosi takes the Speaker's gavel to make this historic move forward for our country. For her nearly 20 years in office, Speaker Pelosi has been an effective advocate for women's health and has championed her pro-choice values by consistently voting to protect a woman's right to choose. In November, voters across this country endorsed Speaker Pelosi's call for a change and new direction by electing 23 new pro-choice members to the U.S. House of Representatives. Today, we celebrate as Speaker Pelosi takes the reins; under her leadership Americans can expect a new focus on commonsense solutions, not the divisive attacks that marred the previous Congresses."
Far Better Than Nothing
While pro-lifers, conservatives, and conservative pro-lifers all have different reasons for not being very pleased with Stupak and his fellow pro-life Democrats at the moment, because of their caving in to the Senate Bill abortion language and Obama's vaporware executive order, I think it's worth keeping in mind that if all Democrats were of the Obama/Pelosi persuasion in regards to abortion, we would undoubtedly have a "health care reform" bill which provided complete subsidies for abortion on demand for poor women, if not all women. The Senate language is not nearly as good as Stupak's, and even with Stupak's language included I think that the bill would have been deeply irresponsible for financial reasons. But let's face it, the Democrats have a solid majority in the House and had until Brown's election a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Without some Democrats breaking ranks with their party's hard core pro-abortion platform, there would have been no way for the pro-life movement to keep the most extreme support for abortion possible out of the bill.
And while Stupak's last minute flake-out is disappointing from a pro-life perspective (if he'd stuck to his guns, I would have happily donated to his re-election fund, simple because I admire steadfastness to pro-life principle, even in someone I disagree with on other issues) let's also be honest about this: Those of us who retain a belief in fiscal responsibility and oppose statism would have been disappointed in the health care bill passing even with Stupak's language. So while I admired his apparent steadfastness to pro-life principle, I like many other conservatives also appreciated that fact that his principle (had he stuck to it) would have resulted in the bill not passing. We can hardly be surprised that he didn't share such a hope.
Pro-Lifers Invade the Pro-Abortion City of San Francisco
Recently the City of San Francisco got to experience a peaceful and powerful Pro-Life march on January 23. In what is being billed as the largest gathering of Pro-Lifers in San Francisco ever, an estimated 40,000 volunteers from all ages, cultures, and nations descended on what is known to be the most egregious community of new Carthaginians in the country.
If You Want The Political Left To Run Governments, Look At What The Religious Left Has Done To Religion (Left It In Tatters)
There is a undercurrent in American society that somehow believes that if the mafia ran things, the country would be better off. There was one city (Newark, New Jersey) where the mafia once controlled much of the city. When their grip on power was done, the city was in tatters. The same could be said for liberals running religion.
Archbishop Niederauer Instructs Nancy Pelosi on Free Will, Conscience and Moral Choice
A few weeks ago I had posted my thoughts on Nancy Pelosi's scadalous Newsweek interview, in which she chalked up her disagreements with the Bishops on Catholic moral teaching as a "difference of opinion." At the time I had expressed my curiosity (and honest frustration) as to when her local bishop, George H. Niederauer, would be moved to respond.
He has, and I am thankful for it:

By Carlie Kollath/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Members of the region's tourism industry were full of best wishes Monday for Linda Johnson, who officially announced her retirement as executive director of the Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Johnson, 62, has led the city's tourism efforts for the past 13 and a half years. She previously was at the Jackson, Tenn., CVB for 15 years.
At the Tupelo CVB's monthly meeting on Monday, she told board members she will retire June 30.
"This will be the opportune time for someone else to lead the bureau to greater heights," she said in her letter to the board.
The CVB board is responsible for finding a new director, and the candidate must be approved by the City Council. Johnson, chairman of the board, said she will not participate in the selection process.
The board will look at in-house candidates first and then will widen the search within the city if needed, Johnson said.
In making her decision to retire, she cited her desire to spend more time with her family and to work on personal goals.
The announcement comes a month after Johnson was inducted into the Mississippi Development Authority's Tourism Hall of Fame by Mary Beth Wilkerson, MDA's director of tourism.
After Monday's announcement, Wilkerson was quick to offer her praise for Johnson.
"She has provided exceptional direction and innovative marketing opportunities for the Tupelo CVB in promoting tourism," Wilkerson said. "Linda is also a true champion for the entire Mississippi tourism industry."
Throughout the years, she has served on countless tourism boards and committees. Until last week, Johnson served as president of the Natchez Trace Compact, the public marketing group she helped found for the Natchez Trace Parkway. She currently is vice chairman of the Tupelo Coliseum Commission.
She also is president of Mississippi Hills Heritage Area Alliance board, a group that helps promote cultural and heritage tourism throughout Northeast Mississippi.

Google Hires Fashion Exec to Lead Glass Team
Stop trying to make Google Glass happen.
Google continues the crusade to trick the mainstream into accepting Google Glass — first with stylish frames, then a design partnership with Luxottica, the sunglass retailer that owns Ray-Ban and Prada. And, in a letter posted to Google Plus last night, the company announced their next move: hiring fashion executive Ivy Ross to lead the Google Glass team. With stints at Calvin Klein, Swatch, Coach, and Gap, Ross, it would seem, has been charged with bringing some fashion cred to the endeavor.
Like Apple (which hired Burberry's Angela Ahrendts and former YSL CEO Paul Deneve earlier this year), Google is making a big push to put the wearability in wearable tech. But could any "Head of Glass" have enough fashion credentials to get rid of that "Glasshole" stigma?

I hold licensure in three states as well as my NREMT-P certification. This is partially because I work in both Illinois and Wisconsin but also because I used to work in Iowa and maintain my license as an Iowa EMT-Paramedic Specialist. I keep that license too.�Since Iowa�s a National Registry state, it�s a simple matter of forwarding them my National recert paperwork to keep it up. Also, because I�m um� �Rather Opinionated� and one never knows when I�ll get ran out of a state with pitchforks and torches from the townsfolk, I need a backup plan.
Oh, and I like being called a �Specialist� in something. Cool, huh? I�m Special, it says so right here on this card I carry. �EMT-PS�
Today, my friend Google landed me on the web link for the new revision of the Iowa State EMS protocols (Revision Aug 2009) and I had the chance to study up on them. There�s some interesting things in there. You can find the link below.
While they aren�t as advanced as the EMS protocols that I function within in Wisconsin, there is something I found in there that I really like and want to bring to the attention of the EMS 2.0 crowd.
– From the Iowa State EMS Protocols � August 2009 Revision
(Also can be used to evaluate existing protocols) Making a decision to develop a new protocol or evaluate an existing one should be based on a rational process. Questions that should be asked and answered when considering a new drug therapy or procedure are as follows:
Key Questions for any New Protocol
1) Is the drug therapy or procedure medically indicated and safe?
2) Is it within the scope of practice for the provider?
3) How specifically will this protocol benefit patient care?
4) What specifically is needed to implement this protocol (education/training, medical director protocol development/authorization, equipment needs, etc.)?
5) How will this protocol impact operations?
6) What is the opinion of providers concerning this protocol?
7) Does the medical community support this protocol change?
8) What are all the costs versus benefits associated with implementation and maintenance?
9) What are the medical-legal implications?
10) What ongoing provider involvement such as skills maintenance and continuous quality improvement is necessary?
11) How will success be measured?
Rational Protocol Development Process to Make the Right Protocol Decision
1) Study the issue thoroughly
2) Identify key questions
3) Compare with goals
4) Assess fit with system
5) Cost benefit analysis
6) Identify measuring tools
Stakeholders in this process are recognized to include, but not be limited to:
2) Medical direction (on-line and off-line)
3) Educators/training programs
4) Regulators of policy and rules
5) Service directors
6) Service providers
7) Consumers
8) Third party payers
*Developed based upon discussion at the October 1998 meeting of the Quality Assurance, Standards, and Protocols subcommittee of the Iowa EMS Advisory Council; and on concepts from the article �When to Implement Clinical Protocol Change?� From EMS Best Practices September 1998.
My understanding of the Iowa State EMS system is that they have mandatory state EMS protocols that all providers must adhere to. Each service may have a medical director, who may choose to use the state protocols�at their base level, or may choose to add additional protocols�for more advanced treatment.�
Huh� A state that says �This is the minimum standard we�ll hold you to. Now go make them better and report�back to us� Then actually�gives each individual paramedic and EMT the�logical framework to evaluate ideas and make revisions and�improvement?�
Also, and this is just HUGE. A state that posts the name and phone number of the State Director of EMS on the protocols� Know what? He actually answers his phone. I know, I�ve called him.
Bravo State of Iowa EMS. Bravo a lot.

Buies Creek-Campbell University Cadet Tony Lamboy, of Fayetteville, N.C., just completed a three-week internship in Cadet Troop Leadership Training at Ft. Lewis, Wash. It was Lamboy's job to shadow an Army platoon leader and become an acting platoon leader on an engineering project.
Lamboy, who is a rising senior at Campbell, described a platoon leader as a sort of jack of all trades.
"You must be flexible, be able to make quick decisions based on limited information and be well-versed in all areas," he said. "For example, I was with an engineering unit working on a horizontal engineering project. The platoon leader must know enough about engineering to be able to say that something is being done correctly or incorrectly. You've got to be very well-rounded."
A horizontal engineering project is one in which ground is moved. Lamboy took on the role of platoon leader on such a project when he was required to set up a staging area for construction equipment.
"As a platoon leader, I had to figure out how many man-hours the project would take, how many people it would take and how much risk would be involved," he said. "I asked a lot of questions and really studied the manual I was given to read."
Lamboy joined the Campbell ROTC after meeting his two roommates.
"I saw what the Army had to offer and I said, 'Hey, this is going to be a good thing for me because it will put me into a position where I can lead people. The Army teaches a lot of leadership and self-discipline," he said.
An economics major, Lamboy is a member of the Adam Smith Club. He will be commissioned as an Army 2nd Lieutenant when he graduates in May 2010. He is the son of Elba and Jose Lamboy.
Established in 1971, the Campbell University ROTC Battalion has consistently out-performed other units both regionally and nationally. From 2005 to present, the Battalion was ranked in the top 15 percent out of 273 ROTC programs in the nation by the U.S. Army Cadet Command.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner rejected calls from Democrats to schedule a vote on new gun restrictions before the end of the year, saying he wants to wait for recommendations from a newly formed White House task force before committing to a legislative response to the mass shooting at a Connecticut school.
"When the vice president's recommendations come forward, we'll certainly take them into consideration," Boehner, R-West Chester, said yesterday in his first public comments on calls for gun legislation since the slaying of 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"But at this point I think our hearts and souls ought to be to think about those victims in this horrible tragedy."
President Barack Obama on Wednesday said Vice President Joe Biden would lead a task force to come up with initiatives to stem gun violence. He's to turn in a proposal by the end of next month.
House Democrats, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, have pressed for an immediate vote on a long-stalled bill that would ban ammunition magazines containing more than 10 rounds.
Obama has outlined a slightly slower pace for action, urging Congress to hold a vote "in a timely manner" in the new year.
Obama and Democrats on Capitol Hill say they are trying to seize on what appears to be a burst of momentum behind gun restrictions. Similar efforts initiated after other high-profile shootings faltered after national attention veered elsewhere.
Biden held the first meeting of the task force yesterday. In remarks beforehand, the vice president noted his work on the 1994 crime bill, which banned the sale of some assault weapons, and said he would again be working closely with police groups to craft proposals.
"What I think the public has learned about you is you have a much more holistic view of how to deal with violence on our streets and in our country than you're ever given credit for," Biden told the law-enforcement officials. "I want to hear your views because, for anything to get done, we're going to need your advocacy."

I'll assume you hit the first fork in the river above the parking area. If so, to answer your question after the forks end, you're still on the Greenbriar. Just after the forks end, you'll enter the Greenbriar Gorge which goes all the way to the point where the Ramsey Prong empties into the Greenbriar. The Gorge is one of the most beautiful areas in the Park IMO, I usually fish it once or twice a year. Note: once you commit to the Gorge you have 6-7 hrs of fishing ahead of you until you reach the mouth Of Ramsey Prong. It is a rough area to fish, large boulders and swift water abound. It is best to fish this area when water levels are normal or maybe a bit below normal. It's a great place to fish in summer, I fished it nearly two weeks ago, and water levels were perfect for fishing. If you've never fished this are before, it's best to take a buddy and let someone know where you're going to be fishing. Brookies become more prominent as you head upstream.
Once you reach where Ramsey Prong enters the main stream on the left, the main stem continues on the right. This is some of the better water in the Park for brookies, but it is not for the faint of heart as there is no trail along this stretch of the river.

One of the hardest things to do when analyzing the NFL draft is nailing down potential trades that could take place over the course of that weekend. Sure, there's always a surprise or four and you can just toss ideas out and see what happens but pinning down likely trades is a difficult thing.
Still, you can see some potential things in the offing and, certainly, there are multiple teams who might be interested in moving up in the draft come May.
So call these following options "what if" possibilities. Consider them the most logical and likely possibilities wherein teams trade up to grab a guy.
Also as a side note, I didn't refer to the fabled "trade chart" nor work out how much any of these moves might cost because it will give us all a headache, and you can bet it's wrong anyway.
Just consider the cost "high" but not "insane" and you'll work out the rest.

Offshore wind in the US got a boost today as Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced a six -year $180 million initiative to support four wind farms.
$20 million will be available this year for offshore projects that accelerate deployment of next generation wind technologies, but the initiative's funding depends on congressional appropriations.
The funds will be used for research and demonstration projects that showcase innovative technologies that can achieve large cost reductions over existing offshore wind technologies. They will help address key challenges associated with installing utility-scale offshore wind turbines, connecting them to the power grid, and navigating new permitting and approval processes.
DOE is continuing to work on a comprehensive offshore wind strategy, and on streamlining siting and permitting.
In September, DOE announced $43 million for 41 offshore wind projects in 20 states over the next five years to speed technical innovations, lower costs, and shorten the timeline for deploying wind farms at sea.
Read about the 'Smart from the Start' program that's speeding development of offshore wind in the US and proposed offshore projects off the coasts of Long Island and Rhode Island.
There's an estimated 4000 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind resources in the US.
Interested parties need to supply letters of intent by March 30 and applications are due May 31, 2012. More information:

Financing an aircraft means wading through fine print.
Money » Taxes, Laws & Finance
February 24, 2015
January 20, 2015
Some charter brokers have become overly creative in the methods they use to stimulate business, running afoul of Department of Transportation requirements in the process.
September 26, 2014
Sales taxes offer an easy way for states to raise revenue, and business jets are a favorite target.
September 1, 2014
One of the most pervasive myths about the taxation of business jets in the U.S. is that the owner isn't entitled to any deductions unless more than 50 percent of the aircraft's usage is in a trade or business. I hear this regularly from people who are contemplating a jet acquisition but worry that they won't be able to take any tax deductions for it because less than half the usage will be business-related. Like many myths, this one contains a nugget of truth, as I'll explain presently. But it's incorrect to assume you can't write off anything if your business use doesn't exceed 50 percent.
August 10, 2014
Your aircraft represents a wonderful business tool but also one of your largest potential exposures to catastrophic loss—one that could wipe out what you have spent years building. The importance of properly insuring against such loss should be obvious. Here's a look at the most critical coverage types and clauses.
July 8, 2014
Industry experts continue to blame lack of financing for the failure of business jet orders and sales to recover more rapidly since 2008. "Many sales are lost because prospective buyers can't obtain financing or can't obtain it on favorable terms," says Andrew Bradley, president of global sales at Avjet Corporation. Bradley has even seen a bank require its client to buy a newer, significantly more expensive aircraft rather than provide financing for a slightly more than 10-year-old airplane of the same model. Indeed, relatively few business jets acquired last year were financed at all.
June 22, 2014
What's the worst thing that can happen to your business jet? You might think the answer is an accident resulting in total loss, but it's not. If a hangar roof collapses and destroys your aircraft, your insurance should enable you to replace it. On the other hand, if the airplane is only damaged in the incident, the insurer may opt to repair it, leaving you with a jet that operates just fine but has (gasp) damage history.
March 26, 2014
To start writing off your newly acquired jet for tax purposes in the U.S. you have to do more than buy it; you have to "place it in service" in your business. In recent years, the availability of "bonus" depreciation has only upped the ante on satisfying this Internal Revenue Service requirement.

Business jet finance has settled into a predictable—and more sustainable—groove after the mad scramble of 2007 and the deafening silence of

Calculating the cost of personal use is as complicated as it is important. When an employee takes a personal flight on his company's aircraft, how do you calculate the trip's cost or value? The answer depends on who's asking the question and why.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts opened its tallest St. Regis property last week in Shenzhen, China, with plans to continue its global expansion in 2012.
Following recent openings in Bangkok, Tianjin and Sanya Yalong Bay, The St. Regis Shenzhen marks the brand's fourth hotel opening in Asia in the last six months.
The St. Regis now occupies floors 72-100 of the landmark Kingkey 100 building, the tallest building in the city.
The St. Regis Shenzhen offers guests a new dimension of luxury with 257 sumptuously appointed guest rooms and 40 suites with spectacular views of the city.
The St. Regis Shenzhen will provide fully customized iPad2 remote controls in each room allowing guests to easily connect and manage all of the room's amenities.

The penthouse level houses Malt and Library, a unique whisky and cigar bar featuring an extensive menu of single malts served with Cuban cigars.
The hotel also offers 2,100 square meters of meeting and function space, including a ballroom and eight separate event rooms with versatile layouts.
"Opening The St Regis Shenzhen atop the city's tallest building is perfect way to introduce the iconic St. Regis brand to one of China's most modern cities," said Qian Jin, Senior Vice President of Operations, Greater China, Starwood Hotels & Resorts.

Amy Fanous receives national research grant
Amy M. Fanous, Pharm.D., has been awarded a 2012-2013 ASHP Foundation Pharmacy Resident Practice-Based Research Grant. Fanous is a PGY1 pharmacy resident at ONU Health Wise and is a 2012 graduate of the ONU Raabe College of Pharmacy.
Fanous will use her grant to conduct a study titled "Implementation of a 12-Week Pharmacist-Directed Walking Program Designed to Increase Physical Activity and Improve Overall Health of Participants." She will receive guidance from senior investigator Karen L. Kier, R.Ph., Ph.D., preventive care specialist, ONU Health Wise.
"There is a great deal of evidence suggesting that physical inactivity is a contributing factor to many chronic health conditions," said Fanous. "Increasing physical activity is one approach to effectively treat these conditions and prevent their complications. The goal of implementing this program at the university as part of an already existing preventive health clinic is to increase the physical activity of the participants, and thereby treat current health conditions, as well as reduce the risk of developing further complications or other chronic conditions. This is significant to health-system pharmacy because it is a self-sustainable program that can be run in a variety of environments."
Fanous is one of only six pharmacy residents nationwide to receive this grant. "Receiving this grant is a great honor, both personally and professionally," she said. "It will enable me to continue my research in active lifestyle modification intervention programs and my work in further expanding the role of the pharmacist into preventive medicine services."
The Pharmacy Resident Practice-Based Research Grant Program supports practice-based research conducted by residents in ASHP-accredited pharmacy residency programs or by residents in pharmacy residency programs that have submitted an application for ASHP accreditation. This research must be related to the assumptions, beliefs and recommendations from the November 2010 ASHP/ASHP Foundation Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative (PPMI) Summit. The overarching goal of the PPMI is to ensure that pharmacists participate on interdisciplinary patient care teams as the health professionals who are responsible and accountable for patients' medication outcomes. A secondary goal of the program is to develop pharmacy residents' research skills while fostering development of mentoring relationships with more experienced senior investigators.

Re: what does religion say about ki?
religion is the pursuit of: God
ki is the pursuit of: Power
Check that,
Religion might be the pursuit of God
Ki is the sneakers you've got on to catch up to that sonofa%$^#@!
Like others basically said,
Ki is between you and the universe,
God is between you and God
God being that all-encompassing type, kinda like the universe, oh, and Ki kinda like permeating everything, thus encompassing it, um, wait, am I talking about god, ki, or the physical universe? There's so much room to move around in these three seemingly different arenas. Maybe they're the same arena.
At least 99.999999% percent of the eyeball you're using to read this right now is empty space, same goes for the screen, same goes for lead, feathers, the moon. The matter of You never touches anything in the sense we understand, and right now you are slowly diffusing into your clothing, or at least into the chair you may, or may not, be seated in, and it into you.
Two atoms brought within a certain distance of any other atom in all the universe results in a repulsive force between those atoms. Both atoms are shifted due to this, the one with more momentum 'moves' the other. This in turn affects atoms bonded to the atom 'moved', so on and so forth, and before you know it you're looking up at nage, glad they didn't diffuse you all the way into the mat...
Sounds a bit like Ki, eh? Just because I didn't talk about it doesn't mean i ruled out god, or the divine. I only know a teensy bit about the universe, which is still a lot more than i know about god, or the divine.
Happy Friday

Youth Appreciation Banquet Hosted by Senoia Optimist Club
The Optimist Club of Senoia hosted its annual Youth Appreciation Banquet on May 3, 2012 in recognition of students at East Coweta High School and Northgate High School. Senoia Optimist member Laura Bell was the chair of the event which was held at the Senior Citizens' Center in Senoia.
Counselors at the two high schools selected students for this recognition who were a positive inspiration to other students. Following a delicious meal served by the Optimist Club members, Youth Appreciation Chair Laura Bell explained that the students were chosen because of accomplishments that they had earned, sometimes while dealing with situations that other students do not face.
Students recognized from the local high schools were Ali Rojas, Kayla Ledbetter, Michael Meaney, and Taylor Panter from Northgate; and Kishon Kelley, Danielle Ward, Dominique Lewis, and Katey Lynch from East Coweta.
The speaker for the evening was Pastor Brent Anderson from Vineyard Community Church in Senoia. He stated that he wanted to help "celebrate and honor the students – and also encourage them". Pastor Anderson mentioned that there are 3 signs each student can follow.
First, he explained to each student that "you have a purpose". People sometimes lose their way when they lose their "why".
Second, Pastor Anderson told the students that "you have people". He elaborated that each one being recognized at the banquet had "their family, their friends, and this great Optimist organization" ready to help as necessary.
Finally, he advised the students that "you have power". He emphasized that the students have the "power to continue pressing on" and the "power to take the steps necessary to succeed".
Pastor Anderson reminded the ones being recognized that "you are not promised an easy go", but – if you remember the 3 signs – you can succeed in the life ahead of you.
After the inspirational talk, Senoia Optimist Club President Tony Bell presented each student with a citation to acknowledge their contributions.
The Optimist Club of Senoia is scheduled to meet at 6:00 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month. Meetings on the 1st Thursdays are held at Matt's Smalltown Pizza, while meetings on the 3rd Thursdays are scheduled at Maguire's Family & Friends Restaurant.
The Optimist Club of Senoia is part of an international organization whose motto is "Friend of Youth". Meeting the needs of young people in communities worldwide, Optimist Clubs have been "Bringing Out the Best in Kids" since 1919. Optimist Clubs conduct positive service projects aimed at providing a helping hand to youth.
If you would like to learn more about the Senoia Optimist Club, please contact club president Tony Bell at 770-599-3981 or 770-632-9052. Information is also available on the Senoia club's web site at www.senoiaoptimistclub.org or on their Facebook page (Senoia Optimist Club).

"Male writers may suffer strains on their single-minded dedication to their art for reasons of class or race or nationality, but so far no male writer is likely to be asked to sit on a panel addressing itself to the special problems of a male writer, or be expected to support another writer simply because he happens to be a man. Such things are asked of women writers all the time, and it makes them jumpy."
– Margaret Atwood (pictured below), novelist in her introduction to the 1998 anthology Women Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews
You may not have noticed the furore pinging around the internet over the last week, gathering momentum and outrage by the nanosecond, but Wikipedia have just done the strangest thing.
They've invented a new sub-category of American Novelists entitled American Women Novelists. Notice I said, sub-category. In practical terms, it means that writers such as Louisa May Alcott, Jean M. Auel and Pearl S. Buck (it seems they've only completed the As and Bs) are now not American novelists, but in fact secondary American Women Novelists.
Wikipedia's reasoning is, at best, half- baked. Accepting that the list of American novelists is too long and unwieldy and that novelists need to be put in sub-categories is perfectly acceptable.
For instance, writers could be grouped according to their era by century, or decade even. Genre would be tricky because some writers don't stick to one type – they might write crime, children's books and then a memoir. Admittedly creating a category entitled American Women Novelists would be perfectly fine if the folk at Wikipedia had a corresponding category entitled American Men Novelists, but of course they don't. And too bad if you happen to be a transgender writer, you may as well resign yourself to being abandoned right out in the category wastelands.
Don't think this will never happen to Australian writers. Someone at Wikipedia is already working on the Haitian novelists – those female writers are being split off into a new sub-category too, and if it can happen to the Haitians, it can surely happen to Antipodean authors.
In a bizarre postscript to this story, the American novelist Amanda Filipacchi who first wrote about this issue in an opinion piece for The New York Times website then found her own Wikipedia entry savagely edited.
Wikipedia removed all links to reviews and interviews with her and other relevant source material before adding the page "needed additional citations for verifications." According to Filipacchi, 22 changes were made in a 24-hour period, which are more changes than had occurred on her page in four years. Someone took it upon themselves to reverse the changes and yet within hours the Wiki-editors had removed them again.
Of course, anyone can leave a comment for the Wikipedia team saying what they think of their new categorisation system. If you want to take up Wikipedia's invitation to leave a comment, click here and if you want to read Filipacchi's articles, click here.
The Shadow Year by Hannah Richell
On an idle summer's day in 1980, a group of University friends stumble across a delightful cottage by a lake in the Peaks District.
Encouraged by their informal leader, the charming and charismatic Simon, they hatch a plan to squat there, live off the land and their wits before entering the real world of employment and responsibility. It's such an achingly attractive proposition that none of the five take much convincing to drop out.
Into this snug community arrives a stranger upsetting the cosy dynamic and, as the seasons change, their shared rural idyll struggles to survive the bitter winter. By year-end, they are all desperate to leave but that one year will end up casting a long shadow over the rest of their lives.
Three decades later, Lila is grieving the loss of her baby, her marriage straining under the burden when she receives a solicitor's letter with a key inside the envelope. She is the recipient of an inheritance from an unknown benefactor. As her and husband Tom explore the tumbledown cottage, Lila sees in it the seeds of her recovery. She will renovate the cottage and perhaps that will allow her some respite from Tom's growing impatience and a chance to restore her piece of mind if not her marriage.
As Lila sifts through the belongings seemingly abandoned in great haste and ponders the meaning of the six stick figures painted on one of the bedroom walls, she can't help but feel a connection to the place. Rather than sell the cottage as she originally planned, Lila decides there is something about the house, the peaceful landscape and even her neighbours that makes this place feel strangely like home.
Hannah Richell has a gift for exploring the many small tragedies that can rend a family or friendship apart. Her fascination with relationships always leads to the creation of a cast of characters that as the reader you feel you know intimately. They are so familiar and yet, as the story unfolds, you discover the many secrets, lies and betrayals that lie not so deeply buried beneath the surface.
No character is ever blemish free, no one's motives are pure and always the tragedy that unfolds could have been avoided. Combined with Richell's talent for evoking a sense of place, The Shadow Year is a richly rewarding read that fulfils the promise of hours of pleasurable escape.
Note: Hannah Richell is appearing at the Sydney Writers' Festival on May 24 in a session entitled Tension and Suspense along with Julienne van Loon and Caroline Overington. Visit the SWF website for further details.

Meet the Author | Cory Taylor
Cory Taylor's love of writing began at high school with an inspirational English teacher, the poet Geoff Page.
Never realising that a person could make a career as a writer, Cory studied history at University before falling into film where she discovered she could write and get paid for it.
In 2011, Cory won the Commonwealth Writers Prize (Pacific Region) for her first novel, Me and Mr Booker. Now she returns with the darkly comic, emotionally wrought, My Beautiful Enemy. Cory Taylor answered three quick questions for The Hoopla.
What books are you reading now?
I'm reading Alice Munro's Dear Life. I had to put off reading it because I knew I'd have to finish it in one sitting. Before that I read James Salter's A Sport and a Pastime, which is a wonderful book, and before that his All That Is, equally wonderful.
Who are your favourite authors or greatest literary influences?
Major influences are Paula Fox, Richard Ford, Richard Yates, and Alice Munro, who is a genius. I respond to the seeming simplicity of a lot of American writing, in which the rhythms lull you into a sense that you know the world being conjured up, that you can see it, that in fact it's your own life story being told back to you.
In a nutshell, what's your new book about? My Beautiful Enemy is about the power of love to subvert our best intentions. After he becomes infatuated with a Japanese boy he met in a camp for enemy aliens during the war, a man abandons his wife and child and sets out on a doomed mission to rescue his friend from deportation. Half a lifetime later, he concludes that this was his one and only act of true heroism.
The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell
New York 1924. It's the era of Prohibition, flappers; the heady days when people are war weary and just want to have fun.
However, it is also the era of shady crimes in back alleys, rapes and knifings and for Rose Baker, a typist with the New York City Police Department on the Lower East Side, typing confessions and police reports are all in a day's work. She prides herself on her speed and accuracy and looks down her nose at fellow typists, Iris and Marie, who both fail to meet Rose's standards in either their work or via the obvious deficiencies in their personalities.
But the day the new typist starts is the day everything changes. Odalie Lazare is a notch above the other girls and she knows it. She obviously has more money because the $15 a week the typists are paid is nowhere near enough to afford such beautiful clothes and jewellery. Furthermore, no woman sashays with quite the same intent as Odalie does.
Judgmental, sanctimonious Rose is instantly drawn to the exotic, exquisite Odalie, for Odalie is everything Rose is not, and when Odalie extends the perfectly manicured hand of friendship, Rose naively accepts it.
Within the inner sanctum of Odalie's friendship and influence, sharing a suite in a swanky Manhattan hotel with Odalie, sharing her divine wardrobe and attending illegal parties in speakeasies, Rose think she has made it. It never occurs to her that Odalie might have her own reasons for befriending such a drab wallflower and that purpose may end up destroying Rose's life.
With an intentionally Gatsby-esque flair and all the noir of a Joan Crawford movie, Suzanne Rindell has recreated the flamboyancy of the Roaring Twenties. By day Rose and Odalie work with the law, by night that flaunt it. Rose is naive, puritanical with middle class pretensions who declares that she is 'no babe in the woods' when that is precisely what she is. Odalie is quite clearly a con woman, a chimera, a creation of her own over-active imagination whose sophisticated games are beyond Rose and when Odalie's interests are threatened, Rose finds out how dispensable their friendship is.
Odalie is not who she thought she was and Rose, and the reader, may never know who Odalie really is. What a shimmering mirage guilt and innocence turn out to be in this riveting game of cat and mouse.
On My Bedside Table…
After ten years, Adyn Cole leaves New York, his recently-ex fiancé and a finance career in ruins after the GFC when he boards a plane bound for Sydney.
Returning for his Uncle Fletcher's funeral, Adyn discovers he has inherited Koorawatha, a once grand old home in Katoomba, much loved by him and Uncle Fletcher but despised by everyone else in the family.
However, wealth brings out the worst in people and a battle erupts over Fletcher's fortune. Greed and bitterness threaten to overwhelm Adyn, yet somehow it is Koorawatha and the people who care for it that might prove the solution to the secrets and betrayals that have overrun this family. Beyond the Frame's Edge is a terrific literary thriller from debut author Berndt Sellheim.
Note: Berndt Sellheim is appearing at the Sydney Writer's Festival in the Blue Mountains on May 20 in a session entitled Landscapes of Love and Loss with authors Jessie Cole and Yvette Walker. Visit the SWF website for further details.
Anand K. Murthy owns the Cauvery Auto company, a successful Bangalore motor parts manufacturer.
He is a wealthy man with a beautiful wife and children whose overwhelming concern is that if he wins an outsourcing contract for a Japanese automobile maker, he will need to expand the factory beyond its current 2 acres to a much larger concern somewhere on the dangerous outskirts of the city.
At the other end of the social scale is Kamala, a servant in Anand's household. Her son Narayan is very bright, but would rather make 100 rupees a day selling magazines at the traffic lights than study so that he may one day secure a good future.
Lavanya Sankaran weaves together a contemporary tale of rich and poor, social inclusion and exclusion in this nuanced and comic novel, The Hope Factory. Anand, as the novel's moral compass, is a delightful guide through the minefield of relationships and greed in a society in the throes of change where people risk all for financial and emotional fortunes.

You can't holler down my rain barrel,
You can't climb my apple tree,
I don't want to play in your yard,
If you won't be good to me.
I thought of this old song (circa 1894) when Margie and I were at Enchanted Forest a few weeks ago and saw this lovely rain barrel (fortunately, Margie snapped this photo - click to enlarge so you can see all the details).
Then I happened upon more rain barrels during my visit to The Green Marketplace last weekend (full field trip report coming soon). In talking with Sylvia Eppig (shown above), who sells her barrels at there, I mentioned that a young friend had constructed rain barrels for his Eagle Scout project a few years ago. He donated them to his Mom's garden club, and the garden club sold them to raise funds for their community activities. With the usual six degrees of separation, it turns out that Sylvia got her first barrel at that garden club sale and was so taken with it that she started making them herself!
When I spent summers on the farm with my Grandmother, we pumped drinking water by hand, but collected rainwater for washing our hair, as it was much softer water. These days, rainwater is more likely to be collected for watering plants and lawns. According to the Naturewise web site, Rain barrels are an easy way to collect the rain water that runs off your roof top and hold the water until you are ready to use it. Rain water is better for plants than municipal water, as it has not been treated with chemicals, and it contains lots of great micronutrients for plants. Rain barrels are easy to install, and can be as easy as just placing them under a valley where water collects and runs off. The barrels also help prevent soil erosion from water splashing on the ground.
And here's Connor (waaay in the back) with the fruits of his labor. He was justifiably pleased when I called to tell him about Sylvia Eppig starting her affair with rain barrels after purchasing one of his! (Thanks to Connor's Dad for the photos.)
During my rain barrel research, I came across an interesting Wiki-type site titled Demesne. There are directions for making your own barrels there, or you can attend one of the rain barrel-making workshops held here in Brevard County fairly frequently - I'll start including them in my Calendar of Events. Or, you can visit The Green Marketplace and get one of Sylvia's!

Centralia, Pennsylvania: Centralia Mine FireCoal veins burning since 1961, almost all of the buildings and people are gone. Unsafe ground, noxious gases -- be careful.

This "town" is slowly disappearing. The grid-like streets are visible, but street signs are hard to come by. It is best to see this eerie "town" sooner than later. Curbs, stop signs, and the destroyed old Rt. 61 are what's left in this forgotten municipality.[Mike, 08/03/2010]
If you happen to be driving by already it might be interesting to look around a bit, but definitely not worth taking a trip to. Of what little there was of this town, not much of anything is left. The noticeable extent of the mine fire is just a little bit of smoke coming out of a few spots in the ground. No smoldering, no extreme heat, nothing that makes you go... wow, that's crazy. The photos people have on here of things like the crack in the road, etc are the entire extent of what you'll see, not just examples. The whole place is just covered in trash. It is very sad what happened there, but not worth your time to visit.[David, 04/22/2010]
Over the decades there has been less and less to see in Centralia. Even in its heyday, there weren't flames leaping from the ground, but some hot cracks, gaping pits, and many venting pipes. It's still a curiosity if you're in the Ashland area checking out other attractions.
My husband recalled memories of passing through the town and seeing the smoke coming from the ground. I was up for a road trip already that day and sought to find it for myself. It took a while to find because only a handful of houses remain. You blink, you miss it. Once we found it it was not as thrilling as I expected.
Centralia is mainly overgrown brush and trees. Three points I must bring up are the wonderful things I noticed. One a lone house is very noticeable from Rt. 61 heading North. On the sidewalk near it is a green bench with the name of the town and the year it was officially founded. Behind that is a well manicured lawn and a Veterans Memorial. The second thing to note (a bit funny) is up on the hill, which is actually Rt. 42, is the town borough building, housing a fire truck and a police car. A final note is the beautiful cemetery further back on Rt. 61. A small patch is paved in front of a well-maintained iron fence.
I recommend giving the town a look see, but take the warnings seriously. We only drove as far as our car could go on the vacant over grown streets. We passed two cars without occupants in the middle of nowhere. Don't now if they were abandoned or what. I never got out of the car. Too creepy.
While Centralia holds a bit of excitement to it, at the same time I was a bit saddened by how the town once was and no longer is.[Amanda, 07/23/2008]
Ghost Town Mine Fire
This place was one of the destinations in our trip around PA. We were expecting all these warning signs posted and "Road Closed" barriers blocking off the abandoned Rt. 61 and all that smoke coming out of the ground.
For the most part, we were disappointed. No warning signs, no "road closed" barriers - but the smoking ground didn't disappoint! The fire is now past the St. Ignatus Cemetery and continues to puff out massive clouds of smoke. We followed a family over a hump to the right of the roadblock (in the direction of Ashville, right after the cemetery), and found more smoke in a rocky terrain along with various moldering furniture and rusted junk. There was a toliet ripped off of its base and abandoned here.
If you walk over the hump behind the big arrow sign and go down probably half a mile down the abandoned Rt 61, you can see a massive fissure in the road with lots of smoke coming out. It's easy to find, actually - with all the graffiti written around it.[Nat Balsley, 02/23/2008]
Town Atop a Burning Coal Mine
Driving through Pennsylvania, my friend Brian managed to drop his cell phone on the Interstate, where it was picked up by a State Trooper. He said "We all got a big laugh out of it down at the station" when they heard that we were going to Centralia. "You're going to be disappointed - It's just a town with some smoke coming out of the ground."
We were anything but disappointed.[Maeve Sullivan, 01/30/2008]

text: Please join us at a very Special Symposium at this year's Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC) conference, http://assc2007.neuralcorrelate.com <http://assc2007.neuralcorrelate.com/> Five of the world's premier stage magicians will join us between 5:30pm and 7:30pm on Sunday, June 24th, 2007, to share their deep intuitions and insights into the covert manipulation of attention and awareness. The five world-class performers that will be joining us at the "The Magic of Consciousness" symposium are: Teller, of Penn & Teller Mac King, headliner at Harrah's on The Strip James Randi, aka The Amaz!ng Randi, and Founder of the James Randi Foundation Johnny Thompson, from The Great Tomsoni and Co. Apollo Robbins, Professional Thief and Pickpocket Just as visual scientists study visual art and illusions to elucidate the workings of the visual system, so too can cognitive scientists study artists of cognitive illusions to elucidate the underpinnings of cognition. Stage magic shows are the manifestation of the deep intuition and understanding of human attention and awareness held by the accomplished magical performer. By studying magicians, and learning their techniques, researchers can hope to learn the skills necessary to manipulate attention and awareness in the lab, at a quantitative level. In this spirit, each of these performers will describe an aspect of magical technique that serves as a powerful tool to manipulate attention and/or awareness, either on a large scale (to a large audience) or a small scale (such as a card trick, or other close-up manipulation). They will demonstrate an example application of each technique, and then discuss why/how they believe the technique may work, in terms of human cognition. The presentations will be followed by 30 minutes of Q&A with the audience. The goal of the event is to help raise awareness among ASSC delegates about the powerful tools that magicians have already developed to manipulate awareness. And the magicians themselves have also expressed their wish that the information flows both ways! The performers deeply hope to learn from the consciousness researcher community about new principles in cognitive science that can be exploited to entertain and amaze their audiences. This event is the first of its kind, but we hope that it will become a regular event at future ASSC meetings, just as visual illusion demonstrations have become a regular event at visual science conferences.
