European Commission, UN Environment step up cooperation to protect the world's oceans 20/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
As our population grows we have to recognize that our consumption of the planet's resources is unsustainable. We need a global transformation of attitude and practice. It is especially urgent to address how we generate the energy that drives our progress. Burning fossil fuels is the principal cause of climate change, which increasingly threatens prosperity and stability in all regions. That is why world leaders have pledged to reach a global legal climate agreement in 2015.
Action on climate change presents multiple opportunities to reset our relationship with Mother Earth and improve human well-being, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable. Sustainable energy for all can increase health, wealth and opportunity for billions of people, as can climate-smart agriculture, more efficient cities and better managed and protected forests.
To generate ambitious action on the ground and raise momentum for a new climate treaty in 2015, I am convening a Climate Summit in New York on 23 September this year. I am inviting Heads of State and Government along with private sector and civil society leaders to showcase initiatives and forge alliances that can help launch a sustainable future. But they need support and encouragement, for change is never easy. So today, on International Mother Earth Day, I appeal to all people everywhere to raise their voices. Speak out on behalf of this planet, our only home. Let us care for Mother Earth so she can continue to care for us as she has done for millennia.

French Taper - Page 4
Let go. Relax, breath, focus. I repeated the mantra over and over and again conjured those lyrics as I climbed steadily out of Lauterbrunnen and toward Wengen—a colorful collection of old-style wooden hotels and houses tucked neatly into the folds of the hill—each step a little closer to the finish line.
The streets were packed with spectators screaming and cheering and waving flags along with a deafening crescendo of cowbells. I realized the crowd was cheering for me. I spread my arms like airplane wings and started weaving back and forth across the road, throwing in an occasional leap. I heard clapping and more cowbells. Satisfied with my performance, I let out a long, "Wooooohoooo!" and bounded up the road, letting the adrenaline fuel a slightly faster pace through the flattish paved sections.
We passed through green farmland as the Eiger came into view. I was sitting in third position on the team, somewhere around 14th overall, and, then, suddenly, without warning, everything changed. I looked down to see Brandy approaching. My pace had slowed slightly and then she was beside me, waving her arms and encouraging me to come with her. On a short, steep, rocky section of singletrack, I switched gears to hike mode, reasoning that grinding down with my hands on my knees might be more efficient. … I was wrong. Both my quads and both my calves seized. I yelled and fell over, excruciating pain pulsing through my body.
I could see the finish line less than three miles away. And I couldn't move. Two huge, boxy Swiss men raced toward me, pulling me up from under my arms and barking at me to hold on to their shoulders. I wanted to keep running. "Arrêter, arrêter!" I pleaded back in French. And I tried to take a step. It was no use. My muscles were in full contraction. I fell again. The big men swooped me up, dragged me off the trail and furiously rubbed my legs. I let out a hiss and clenched my jaw as a long line of women that I'd worked so hard to pass filtered by. I watched my place drop to 20th, 25th … until I lost track.
I heard cheering as the first-place woman crossed the line. I had no idea who it was. Later, I learned it was Stevie. Not only did she win the race, she clocked the second-fastest time ever.
The Eiger looms over the finish line of the Jungfrau Marathon. Photo by Chris Hunter.
"It wasn't until the bagpipes with about one kilometer left to go that I thought I might win the race," Stevie said later. Kim crossed third, clenching the final podium slot. Melody came through next, 10th overall. And rounding out the top four for the U.S. team was Brandy, who finished 16th.
Ten minutes later I stood up and walked. The cramps still came, though, and I stopped over and over. When I finally hit the finish, race director Richi Umberg was there and he buried me in a bear hug. "Team U.S.A., I think you have won. Team U.S.A. is first."
"Oh? Really?" I smiled and hugged Richard again. "Thank you, thank you."
I turned around to see Gina coming down the gravel path. I waited and gave her a hug when she crossed the line. We all walked down to the patio area, congratulating one another on a good day and a U.S. gold medal. Salt stains ran down our faces and dirt caked our calves.
Above us, snow hung to the walls of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch, sparkling diamond-like against the dark rock and lush green tundra. Cattle grazed aside a long line of competitors, hiking up the steep singletrack toward the chute.
"Hearing the National Anthem played in your team's honor is an incredibly special moment—one many athletes can only dream about," said Brandy. "The rest of the world better watch out—U.S. Mountain Running is on the up and up!"
Standing in the terminal in Geneva, Gina and I were the last to board. Gina looked upset.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I'm not ready to go back to the real world," she responded.
I nodded, not wanting to go either. "I'm staying here."
Still, we shuffled toward the gate agent and handed her our tickets. Two moments yet again felt simultaneous: It was as though we had been in Europe forever and also for no time at all.

- TS1120 Tape Encryption - Customer Experiences
Jonathan Barney had implemented many deployments of tape encryption, and shared hisexperiences at two customer locations.
- The first company had decided to implement their EKM servers on dedicated 64-bitWindows servers. They had three sites, one in Chicago, Alphareta, and New York City,each with two EKM servers. Each library had a single TS3500 tape library, and pointedto four EKM servers, two local, and two remote.
The clever trick was managing the keystore. They decided that EKM-1 was their trustedsource, made all changes to that, and then copied it to the other five EKM servers.His team deployed one site at a time, which turned out to be ok, but he would notrecommend it. Better to design your complete solution, and make sure that all librariescan access all EKM servers.
This company decided to have a single key-label/key-pair for all three locations, but change it every 6 months. You have to keep the old keys for as long as you have tapesencrypted with those keys, perhaps 10-20 years.The customer found the IBM encryption implementation "elegant" and it can be easily replicated to a fourth site if needed.
- The second company had both z/OS and Sun Solaris. Initially they planned to have botha hardware-based keystore on System z, and software-based keystore on Sun, but they realized that System z version was so much more secure and reliable, that it made nosense to have anything on the Sun Solaris platform.
On System z, they had two EKM images, and used VIPA to ensure load balancing fromthe library. Tapes written from z/OS used DFSMS Data Class to determine which tapesare encrypted and which aren't. All Tapes written from Sun Solaris were encryptied, written to a separate logical library partition of the TS3500, which in turn contactedthe System z for the EKM management to provide the keys to use for the encryption.
The "gotcha" for this case was that when they tested Disaster Recovery, they had torecover the two EKM servers first, before any other restores could take place, and thistook way too long. Instead, they developed a scaled-down 10-volume "rescue recovery" z/OS image that would contain the RACF database and all EKM related software to actas the keystore during a disaster recovery. Anytime they make updates, they only haveto dump 10 volumes to tape. Restore time is down to only 2 hours.
He gave this advice to deploy tape encryption:
- Some third party z/OS security products, like Computer Associates Top Secret orACF2, require some PTFs to work with the EKM. The latest IBM RACF is good to go.
- Getting IP support from IOS to OMVS requires IPL.
- At one customer, an OMVS monitor software program killed the EKM because it wasn'tin their list of "acceptable Java programs". They updated the list and EKM ran fine.
- DO not update EKM properties file while EKM is running. EKM keeps a lot of stuffin memory, and when it is recycled, copies this back to the EKM properties file, reversing any changes you may have done. It is best to shut down EKM, update theproperties file, then start up EKM back up again. This is why you should always haveat least two EKM servers for redundancy.
- The first company had decided to implement their EKM servers on dedicated 64-bitWindows servers. They had three sites, one in Chicago, Alphareta, and New York City,each with two EKM servers. Each library had a single TS3500 tape library, and pointedto four EKM servers, two local, and two remote.
- TSM for Linux on System z
Randy Larson from our Tivoli group presented this session.There is a lot of interest in deploying IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup and archivesoftware on Linux for System z. Many customers are already invested in a mainframeinfrastructure, may have TSM for z/OS or z/VM, and want the newer features and functions that are available for TSM on Linux.
TSM has special support for Lotus Domino, Oracle, DB2 and WebSphere Application Servers.TSM clients can send backup data to a TSM server internally via Hipersockets, a virtualLAN feature on the System z platform that uses shared memory to emulate TCP/IP stack.
One of the big questions is whether to run Linux as guests under z/VM, or natively onLPAR. The general deployment is to carve an LPAR and run Linux natively untilyour server and storage administration staff have taken z/VM training classes. Oncetrained, they can easily move native LPAR images to z/VM guests. Unlike VMware that takesa hefty 40% overhead on x86 platforms to manage guests, z/VM only takes 5-10% overhead.
For the TSM database and disk storage pools, Randy recommends FC/SCSI disk, with ext3 file system, combined with LVM2 into logical volumes. ECKD disk and reiserfsworks too. Avoid use of z/VM minidisks. Under LVM2, consider 32KB stripes for the TSM database, and 256KB stripes for the disk storage pools. For multipathing, usefailover rather than multibus method. Read IC45459 before you activate "directio".
The TSM for Linux on z is very much like the TSM on AIX or Windows, and not like theTSM for z/OS. For tape, TSM for Linux on z does not support ESCON/FICON attached tape,you need to use FC/SCSI attached tape and tape libraries. TSM owns the library anddrives it uses, so give it a logical library partition separate from z/OS. ForSun/StorageTek customers, TSM works with or without the Gersham Enterprise Distrbu-Tape(EDT) software. Use the IBM-provided drivers for IBM tape. For non-IBM tape, TSM providessome drivers that you can use instead.
That wraps up my week. This was a great conference! If you missed it, look for the one in Montpelier, France this October. Check out the list of IBM Technical Conferencesto find others that might interest you.

Stock Futures Cautious as Consumer Weakens, Citigroup Beats
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were little changed Monday as investors weighed China's slowing growth data and downbeat U.S. consumer spending trends against better-than-expected New York manufacturing numbers.
Futures for the S&P 500 were up 3.5 points, or 0.84 points below fair value, to 1,673.75. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 34 points, or 9.7 points above fair value, to 15,403. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 6 points, or 4.72 below fair value, to 3,068.
U.S. retail sales increased by a less-than-expected 0.4% in June, down from a downwardly-revised 0.5% in May, the Census Bureau reported Monday. Economists, on average, expected an increase of 0.8%, according to a Thomson Reuters poll of economists.
New York's economy proved to be brighter as the Empire State Manufacturing Survey's general business conditions index came in better-than-expected at 9.46 for July, up from 7.84 in June. Forecasts called for a decline to 5.
At 10 a.m., the Census Bureau is expected to report that business inventories were unchanged in May after increasing 0.3% in April.
In China, the National Bureau of Statistics said gross domestic product rose 7.5% in the second quarter from a year ago, slowing from a growth of 7.7% in the first quarter.

Why Look for Dog Beds for your Dog?
There are various reasons why you should consider looking at dog beds and get a special dog bed for your dog:
- Dog beds provide a sense of warmth and comfort to the dog and are a great way to provide your dog with a place to sleep
- Dog beds allow your dog a space of his or her own, and provide a sense of security for your dog
- Dog beds provide a layer of insulation for your dog and keep your dog from having to sleep on the cold floor
- There are also orthopedic dog beds available for your dog; these types of dog beds provide the necessary support for your old or arthritic dog
How to Select the Right Dog Beds for your Dog?
There are all types of dog beds available. With so many choices available, it becomes difficult to choose the right dog bed for your favorite best friend. Some of the types of dog beds include:
- A soft dog bed
- A hard dog bed
- A fluffy dog bed,
- A dog bed that looks like an actual bed
- A dog bed that looks like a sofa
- You can even find a modern and contemporary dog bed, and a whole lot more
The choices are mind boggling. However, the type of dog bed you may like for your dog may not be to your dog's preference.
If you have bought a dog bed before for your dog, and know what type of dog bed he or she prefers, and then choosing the right type of dog bed should be easy. However, if this is the first time you are buying a dog bed, then you should spend some time in observing your dog, and noting its sleeping behavior. Does your dog like sleeping on your bed or the sofa? Does your dog prefer the floor? Does your dog like to curl up and sleep in the corner, or prefers to stretch out? Depending on what type of sleeping position your dog prefers, you should get a dog bed that complements that. For instance, if your dog prefers to stretch out and sleep, then you can consider opting for a deep bed which looks like a pillow; on the other hand, if your dog prefers curling up, then you can consider purchasing a lounge type dog bed or a donut dog bed.
What are the Other Features you Should Consider Before Buying a Dog Bed for your Dog?
Some of the other features you should consider before you purchase a dog bed includes:
- The size of the dog bed – ensure that the dog bed you buy is big enough for your dog. One of the ways you can make sure you're getting the right size dog bed is by measuring your dog when he or she is asleep, and then add about an extra 10-15 inches for extra room.
- Washing the dog bed – Determine if you want a dog bed with removable, washable covers or if you want a dog bed that can be put entirely in the wash. Some waterproof dog beds can be rinsed with a hose or just wiped clean.
- Durability- Choose a material which is tough and durable, while being comfortable for your dog. Choosing a durable material also helps the bed last if your dog tends to chew.
Find the right dog bed by exploring the extensive listing on Sam's Club.

Gem Inspired - Bright Fuscia Eyes Tutorial
Do you guys remember the cartoon Gem...I was in my elementary school days, in 80's early 90's, and Gem was a hot rock star chick with bright pink hair. I swear, if I wasn't in corporate america i'd be rocking hot pink streaks! well, this look is definitely Gem-esque.
I wore the NYX candy glitter liners for the first time and they are very comparable to the urban decay glitter liners. I used it by itself on my lowerlashline but over a comparable e/s color they would just pop out more. The color was super bright in person, I don't think that was really conveyed by the video. Oh and remember how I said my webcam broke? So the volume doesn't record so I didn't get to give a lil intro or anything :( lol, you may or may not think that's a bad thing...i know my voice is kinda special, but i've grown to cope, lol. anyhow, i managed to get this tutorial thrown together and edited quickly and posted to you tube because i'm not sure how much time i'll have to post once i'm down in o-town for my mini x-mas break. the e/s look isn't anything ground breaking...i kinda had to throw it together...if it was up to me...i would've like to pair it with a bright bright white...but i dont have one :( oh well, another thing to add to the list. i'm going to try and get gesso or something from CCO like yummy411 suggested...save me some moulah!
anyways, please keep the video/look recommendations coming :) next i'll be doing a smokey eye look from my holiday video and then purple eyes for mrs. lynne.
p.s: please ignore my bright turquoise bra strap, lol, that is soooo not cute. unfortunately it's one of those bras that doesn't have an adjustable strap...my bf saw some of my video and that's the first thing he noticed. oh and the curlers too, ha ha, just ignore that.
This tutorial goes out to you Anne! Thanks for the suggestion :)

This look is so hot! Out of curiousity, what's your skin shade? From your pictures, I always assumed you were on the darker side, but wow, you totally pulled off fuschia. I love bright pinks, but i have medium skin and it never looks right on me.
btw, your hair looks gorgeous!

Every Monday through January we'll be posting an exclusive excerpt from Glory Days: Springsteen's Greatest Albums, which analyzes eight of Springsteen's most groundbreaking albums and then argues which one should be considered "the greatest." This week, a selection from the chapter on The River:
The beauty of Springsteen�s approach with The River is the way it allowed him the canvass to juxtapose rambling rock �n� roll shout-outs with quieter studies of the human condition � and somehow make them work together toward an even greater whole.
Of course, even more jaunty songs like �Hungry Heart,� Springsteen�s first top-10 single, deal with real-life issues like isolation and abandonment, but several of The River�s tracks delve deeper and resonate more powerfully. The first of those, �Independence Day,� feels almost mournful as it kicks in to close the album�s otherwise raucous first side. A sort of mirror image of �Adam Raised a Cain,� its narrator half-sings with a tired resignation, offering a moving declaration of freedom from the darkness that can haunt fathers and sons.
It�s a similar darkness that can haunt husbands and wives as well, as we find out on the album�s classic, timeless title track. Based on Springsteen�s own sister, it�s the story of a teenage couple wed after an unplanned pregnancy � �no flowers, no wedding dress� � and the crushing fallout that follows.
The narrator�s desperation is underscored by Springsteen�s whining harmonica, and it eventually culminates in what may be Springsteen�s most disconsolate lyric: �Is a dream a lie if it don�t come true, or is it something worse?� That line alone cements the album�s place in Springsteen�s canon.

"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. "
Virgin Charter's Scott Duffy
To find out more about Branson's latest brand, we spoke with the man who founded it and oversees its day-to-day operations.
What were you doing before this project came along?
I spent most of my career in the technology business and about three years ago was introduced to private aviation.
As a passenger?
Initially, but then looking at it from a business standpoint, I was fascinated by the growth and even more by the highly fragmented nature of the business and how difficult it was to buy and sell business jet charter. I knew from experience that we'd solved these problems in other industries.
How did you meet Richard Branson?
Through a friend. Virgin had looked at getting into private charter for quite some time. In fact, at one point, they considered building their own fleet. But what people kept telling Richard is that the biggest problem in private aviation is not that there's not enough aircraft; it's that it's too hard to buy and sell charter on the existing fleet. We were being told the same thing and were building a technology solution to solve this problem.
As you did so, did you study operations like eBay and Priceline?
One of the biggest advantages we had was that sites like eBay and Travelocity and Priceline had come before us. What we did was ask our customers what they liked most about each of those services. They told us they loved the simple user interface of Travelocity. With regard to Priceline, they loved the idea of operators competing for their business. And with regard to eBay, they loved the notion of user feedback and ratings. So what we did was incorporate all of that.
Your plan was to have the top 500 charter operators under contract by last September. Have you achieved that?
We have over a thousand aircraft in the system. They range from turboprops to jumbo jets. With regard to the number of operators, we have just over 100 actively participating. We've restricted the number of operators based on safety and quality.
Did you find it harder to qualify operators than you thought it'd be?
We just want to make sure not only of safety but that all the operators reached the highest quality standards.
We've heard repeatedly that people like to research charter online, but when it comes to actually making such a big purchase, they want to talk to a human being. But you've suggested people will actually click and buy. What makes you think so?
All the evidence we've received from our customers is that the reason they picked up the phone was that there was no reliable source online where they could not only find aircraft for a trip but also go all the way through the process of purchasing and managing that trip. And people weren't comfortable making a transaction on the Internet without a brand like Virgin involved. We've had customers in our beta period running transactions online ranging from $5,000 to well over $100,000.
You talk about "revolutionizing charter" and tout what you call "an entirely new way to book charter" online. But outfits like taxijet.com also don't own or operate aircraft and promise to match charter buyers to the lowest prices on safe carriers. Some, like jets.com, even use an auction model. What sets you apart other than the Virgin name?
Well, we're part of the most respected aviation brand in the world and we've used our aviation expertise to pick the best of the best operators. Second, we have a technology all-star team. Finally, we have taken care of the issues that are most important to any traveler. We require that every operator be audited on a regular basis by independent, internationally recognized third parties. And we've partnered with J.D. Power and Associates to create the industry's first quality ratings program for charter operators. So for the first time, customers can have a reasonable expectation of what they'll get before they purchase a trip.
Richard Branson has said that if you're going to succeed, it has to be about more than making money. What else is Virgin Charter about?
When we were initially raising money and talking to venture capitalists, we cared about the environment and wanted to do good. And what most venture capitalists will tell you is, "Go make your own money and once you've done that, go do good with that money." But what Richard said is, "Come work with us at Virgin Charter and we'll do great things beginning on day one.

Skip to comments.Psychic's mass grave tip proves false
Posted on 06/07/2011 6:39:21 PM PDT by avg_freeper
Authorities converged on a residential property near the Liberty County town of Hardin on Tuesday night after the sheriffs office received a phone tip from a self-professed psychic that 25 to 30 dismembered bodies were buried there.
By 8 p.m., Liberty County Judge Craig McNair said that no bodies were found inside the house. Cadaver dogs were inside and found nothing.
A preliminary search by law enforcement officers earlier in the day found evidence of what they believed was blood, but no sign of anything else, leading them to suggest the call may have been a hoax.
A search warrant was obtained and a quick look around revealed nothing out of order. A state law enforcement source confirmed that DPS officials had obtained the warrant and entered the residence, after making a fruitless search of the property.
A foul stench emanating from the house was found to be coming from piles of rotting garbage. And the blood found at the residence was related to an earlier incident, the source told the Houston Chronicle.
(Excerpt) Read more at chron.com ...
"DPS officials had obtained the warrant"
On the basis of a freaking "psychic" report?
That's why you should just sit back for a couple of days to see what happens with news stories; which is just that - stories.
Kinda odd that they would react that way to a psychic tip unless the psychic has been right more than a few times in the past.
Something is very wrong here.
I think they got the warrant based on the blood on the porch.
An earlier report indicated that there was blood at the sight and a rotten smell.
>On the basis of a freaking psychic report?
That was the basis of the TV show "Medium" where the psychic worked at the DA's office.
then the MAD TV spoof...
Did the Stasi ever need more?
That's why you should just sit back for a couple of days to see what happens with news stories; which is just that - stories.
Did the Stasi ever need more?
Yeah, a lot of move along, nothing really really really to see here!
Or just a prank. Guess we need a second psychic to pick up where the first one left off.
Why did the police consider the "psychic" reliable?
Once before a judge would accept a certain dog's ability to follow a scent, he made it follow another scent through a concert site
where 30,000 people had been. When the dog passed that test, he was willing to accept that it had the ability to follow a scent.
On what basis did the police think this psychic had any ability? Was the psychic rich from sports betting (wins every time)? Was the psychic rich from playing the stock market and commodities futures?
Why did the police think the psychic had any ability?
We seem to be stuttering...
How did this get picked up as a national news story in the first place?
Even to merely question people, there must be "reasonable suspicion", with specific reasons which can be articulated. Hunches, notions, forebodings, visions etc. will not do it. To go further requires probable cause . . .
The narrative here does not make sense. None.
This nut case should have to reimburse law enforcement for the expense that her hallucination caused. It was probably a bid for publicity since there aren't many customers for fortune tellers with the bad economy.
Just reiterating for those who don't get it the first time.
Sounds like there was a phoned-in tip, to which somebody responded and found blood on the porch and a foul smell coming from inside.
That sounds good enough to go back and get a warrant, to me. That the tip came from a "psychic" doesn't really make much difference it seems, based on those facts.
So..it's not Bush's fault?
ps - then too, null and void is kinda repetitious don't you think?
Just a sample of what you get to see in google real time:
Two members of the Phelps clan indicating how happy they were about the topic ...It's a good way of tracking breaking news but at the same time it feels like you're plugging directly into the paranoia addled psyche of the predominate leftist hive mind.
One twitter feed from someone who "just knew" that something like this would happen in Texas and that she figured the graves would be full of minorities.
Another from someone who indicated that there were probably mass graves around Sarah Palin's house.
It's really creepy in a "Being John Malcovich" kind of way. </shudder>
"without form and void" was taken...
See post 19.
From what I heard here in Austin at 6:16, KLBJ-AM, was the psychic 'received' the location, notified the local sheriffs AND three media outlets. The police went to the first location, nothing. Then had had reason to go to an adjacent property, and that's when the the story was deemed bogus.
Oh great. Now the satanic Phelps are involved.
A foul stench emanating from the house was found to be coming from piles of rotting garbage. And the blood found at the residence was related to an earlier incident
Actually, I'm psychic too and knew you were going to post that, but:
Still Bush's fault!
as if we need that BS again
this stuff aways brings out the crazys
I don't see the police doing any wrong here. If they didn't check this place out and there had been a mass grave, everyone would have been yelling they were lazy. So, there is a tip of a grave, containing children and they find blood. They also smell something rotting. Sounds like a warrant to find out if there were bodies is reasonable.
LOL - Greetings!
Oh my.
I think we could find it in ourselves to forgive her.
That's actually Jennifer Love Hewitt from the Ghost Whisperer. (Not that I am complaining...)
Mark Levin, who should know better, reported this today and launched into a brief rant about border security. Five minutes later he must've gotten new information that it was totally unsubstantiated and dutifully reported that too.
Arrest her ass and charge her the costs of the investigation. No way this was not a deliberate attempt to bring down a ration of hell on the people living there.
There was a recent Supreme Court decision that found that if officers "think" that evidence is being destroyed, that they have in fact, a "search warrant".
This is essentially a extension of "no knock" warrants, and does not bode well for freedom.
Never saw that coming.
"Thats actually Jennifer Love Hewitt from the Ghost Whisperer."
Wow. Who knew she was a psychic? I mean, except for other psychics...
Shows me what I know about pop culture...
or maybe a desperate act to get Weiner pushed to the background?
Theres a reason newspaper articles are called stories. Thats what they are most of the time. Stories. A reporter is nothing more that a storyteller when it comes right down to it. He has a limited number of facts to work with, and from those facts he must weave a tale that will hold the reader. Some of the facts the reporter has are accurate; some are not. But either way, the facts are not the story. The story lies in the inferences, the color, and the spin. These are what reports are paid for, and their job their sacred oath is to make the news pop. It has to sing. It has to thrill. Without all that, it isnt really news to anyone.
ever see the movie Idiocracy? I think we are living it.
That is scary.
You know....I can see (through my psychic ability) a future movie here. Some idiot will make three correct predictions for grandma....and then thinks he has the "power"...and spends an entire day predicting twenty different things. In the end...the last one will be the only one that's correct with someone going off to jail...the psychic himself.
As for the cops involved in this...you have to imagine the next time they get a phone call like this....they won't do much of anything.
Can't believe the Sheriff and the Judge were STUPID enough to fall for this.

Az ingatlan értékelései
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I was in Amsterdam for a conference and the room and facilities were perfect. Cool, peaceful with fast wifi. Henk was always very helpful and his breakfast was amazing. The location is very central and an easy walk to most places.
First: Thank you very much Henk!
Henk was very friendly, helpful (even before we arrived) and everything was perfect. We felt save and comfortable right from the beginning. The own entry is very nice and the bathroom is clean and offers everything you need.
You should also try the offert breakfast, you will get much more than you can eat, everything is fresh and with love.
We will definateley come back.
The hosts Margareth and Henk are very gentle and the stay was wonderful. We booked the breakfast additionally and that was the perfect start into every day. We easily reached the apartment in the Professor Tulpstraat from Amsterdam Centraal by foot. As this room is in subterrain, of course some machinery of the cellar makes occasional noise, but we had no trouble recovering easily from the long walks through Amsterdam through uninterrupted sleep. The balcony is cosy, bathroom is great, as is the separate entry to the apartment. All are linked by stairs to the appartment. When we again visit Amsterdam, we will for sure try to book Margareth's and Henk's Appartment again.
Margareth and Henk are a lovely and warm couple. Staying at their place is like staying home ! I higly recommends staying with them in Amsterdam ! Their logement is 10 minutes walk to center and the tram stop and metro are in front. The logement is really clean and just like in photos ! Oh, and the bed is awesome ! Very confortable and cosy.
5***** :)
Henk and Margareth are doing something beautiful! We enjoyed the stay and we are happy that we met you! Also, thank you for the best breakfast! Bye and see you again for sure! Best Regards, Anca and Alexandra
Here is our Review.
We went to Amsterdam for four days and stayed at henks and Margaretes Appartement.
Before we travelled to Amsterdam, henk sended us a discreption, how to get to his place. The cheapest way is to go by train and Metro if you fly to Amsterdam as we did.
When we arrived, henk helped us with our bags and showed us the Appartement and as other people here on wimdu allready said, he is a very friendly and helpful host. He has always time for his guests, if they have any questions or Problems.
Some Infos to the Appartement: You can enter the it by an sepperate entry, so you can stay out for a long Night too, without disturbing your hosts in the late night. Henk is giving the keys to you for it. ;-)
The Appartement is downstairs in the cellar with all comfortables you need for a Trip to Amsterdam. WiFi is inclusive. Everything is very clean and Nice. The bathroom is upstairs as well as the beautiful balkony.
If you are interested in an really, really great breakfast for small money, you should try out henks breakfast, it has everything you need. Bread, cheese, ham, Salami, cooked eggs, fruits, milk, orange Juice, Marmelade, Tea, coffee and so on.
So if you are interested in an Apartment for small money, really close to the Center (only two Metro stations to the nieuwenmarkt) i can totally recommend this place, cause it has everything you need.
Thanks to Henk and Margarete for the great time we had in Amsterdam.
It won't be the last time us :)
Amazing! We loved this place, couldn't fault it at all. Great location as you are close to all the action but still have peace and quiet. We walked all over Amsterdam and it was such a nice room to come back to and very private. Margareth and Henk are very welcoming and we really enjoyed their company.
Great place to stay, close to the city centre. Cozy room, nice bathroom, everything very clean. Breakfast very good and very much :) Very silent area with nice neighbourhood. Separate entrance-door to get to our room.
Only disadvantage: you can hear from time to time a waterpump starting to pump groundwater(?)... But that's not too loud and we were fine with it. We would definitely stay there again.

Topic: RadRails has a strange problem when starting a webserver
I had Ruby on Rails with RadRails as an Eclipse add-on on my FedoraCore 4 linux box.
Recently I've updated to FedoraCore 6 and performed the same operations to install RoR and Radrails as in FC4. Actually I added the mongrel server too, as described in this guide:
http://legacy.not404.com/cgi-bin/trac.f RailsOnFC6
Well, everything is working fine besides starting/stopping servers in RadRails.
When I start a normal ruby server (Webrick) in the terminal it's running fine on 127.0.0.1:3000 and I can stop it with Ctrl+C.
But when I start it within RadRails the server is starting, I can access it on :3000, but Radrails hangs on "Starting Server..." forever. As a result I can't stop it within Radrails, I have to kill the ruby process. The RadRails console shows the normal output, no error messages.
Does someone has an idea what could be wrong?
Thank You in advance!
P.S.: Almost the same happens when running mongrel(0.3.13.2), but there are some ruby errors too. I want to get Webrick normaly running with Radrails first, and then

Happy Valentines TeaDay...
Welcome everyone to this edition of TeaDay. Please share what is in your cup today and throughout the TeaDay. It has been exciting hearing what everyone is sipping, drinking, gulping....however you enjoy your cup. Visit all day and see what everyone else is sipping as well.
Today's TeaPoll is pretty straight forward...what are you drinking RIGHT NOW. Kind of what TeaDay is all about, right. So, of course, give more detail about what you are drinking here as well.
In addition to discussing what is in your cup, something that is pretty relevent this time of the year, WINTER. I think I am on the mend after feeling under the weather for a couple days...I swear TEA helped me to fend whatever it was off. It could not really seem to take a foot hold.
So, my question for everyone. What say you, does tea help prevent illness for you in your personal experience??? Share your personal experience on this subject here. A timely discussion!!!
It has been a rough couple TeaDays for me as a result. Hopefully today, I will get at least 3 teas in.

Through all this you have made me think of trying the broiler in my oven in lieu of the bake mode. This oven says you can broil all day at 550 with the door closed. So what I'm thinking is let it soak with the door closed heating the stone, then shovel in the pie where the stone works on the bottom and the broil element does the top. Can't hurt to try...
thanks for your thoughts guys. i'm still not convinced porous stones don't remove more water than non-porous, but Scott's remark about most stones are not actually porous does help refute the water loss myth.
^^thanks for this link. that page says "Its hard to imagine a stone heated up to 600°F can absorb moisture. Moisture evaporates very quickly at those temperatures."Essentially, they are arguing that a hot stone cannot remove water because the water is vapor, however they are neglecting the fact that transport of water vapor can occur through the gas in the pores of the stone. These pores can actually enhance the evaporation that they refer to in their quote.

Skip to comments.How a Lunar Eclipse Saved Columbus (And us in ten days)
Posted on 02/10/2008 4:49:38 PM PST by decimon
On the night of Feb. 20, the full moon will pass into Earth's shadow in an event that will be visible across all of the United States and Canada.
The total lunar eclipse will be made even more striking by the presence of the nearby planet Saturn and the bright bluish star, Regulus.
Eclipses in the distant past often terrified viewers who took them as evil omens. Certain lunar eclipses had an overwhelming effect on historic events. One of the most famous examples is the trick pulled by Christopher Columbus.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Not quite GGG ping.
It might have saved Columbus that time, but Columbus was merely the public announcement that Spain (and several other Euro kingdoms) was already in the New World.
Good thing it wasn't cloudy that night.
The more I learn about Columbus, the less I like him. I was happier when all I knew about him was that he discovered America.
Damned historians, and their big mouths.
Probably not the nicest fellow ever. But then, there may not have been too many nice fellows back when life was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."
Always be certain that the information is coming from a true historian and is not the interpretation of a revisionist historian whose goal is to turn you against people who should be revered.
I'm not saying that is the case here. But don't ever doubt the desire of the Left to turn everyone against their past if it is not Marxist in some way, shape, or form.
Before his death, Regiomontanus published an almanac containing astronomical tables covering the years 1475-1506. Regiomontanus' almanac turned out to be of great value, for his astronomical tables provided detailed information about the sun, moon and planets, as well as the more important stars and constellations by which to navigate. After it was published, no sailor dared set out without a copy. With its help, explorers were able to leave their customary routes and venture out into the unknown seas in search of new frontiers.
Columbus, of course, had a copy of the Almanac with him when he was stranded on Jamaica. And he soon discovered from studying its tables that on the evening of Thursday, Feb. 29, 1504, a total eclipse of the moon would take place soon after the time of moonrise.
Would a lunar eclipse in Europe be visible in Jamaica?
From the article, and the part you quoted, I think the almanac was usable in more than Europe. But then, I thought Regiomontanus was a football player so what do I know?
The almanac was useful to (and used by) seafarers, so one can fairly conclude it was not restricted only to lunar eclipses visible in Europe.
I think eclipses generally track a path across the surface of the earth as it turns on its axis. So some eclipses would be visible in both places - depending on time of year and [maybe] phase of moon.
Kepler would know.
The more I learn about Columbus, the less I like him.
There is much to admire about his courage and his place in history, as for many of the explorers and pioneers.
No Kepler here, but....
Total lunar eclpses occur precisely at Full Moon when the moon is directly opposite the Sun, and anyone who can see the moon at the time (half the earth) could witness this kind of eclipse.
An eclipse track occurs during a Solar eclipse where the moon's shadow hits the earth's surface, and those who can see this type is determined by the path of this typically narrow band as the earth rotates.
I pulled up Skymap and here's what I got:
Site information
Latitude: 18° 0' 0" N
Longitude: 77° 0' 0" W
Height above sea level: 10 metres
Time zone: 5h behind UT
The eclipse is partially visible from this location.
Circumstances of the Eclipse
Moon enters penumbra: 1504 Feb 29 16:48:50
Moon enters umbra: 1504 Feb 29 17:57:03
Start of totality: 1504 Feb 29 19:15:50
Maximum eclipse: 1504 Feb 29 19:40:19
End of totality: 1504 Feb 29 20:04:44
Moon leaves umbra: 1504 Feb 29 21:23:30
Moon leaves penumbra: 1504 Feb 29 22:31:51
"There is much to admire about his courage and his place in history,.."
True, but the stories of his misdeeds take so much of the shine off.
But, to keep it in perspective, he was a creature of his time.
I had heard that this was folklore, but now it sounds like it's pretty much verified history. Never heard of this guy Regiomontanus.
Good research. Thanks. I had no idea how to check that out.
He was taking a chance as well...many historians believe that Mayans (I'm not sure about the inhabitants of Jamaica) knew about eclipses already.
Thanks decimon. I wish Keith Pickering were still around FR to see this. ;')

What happens in 10 days?
Nine days. Yesterday was ten days.
First lines of the article:
"On the night of Feb. 20, the full moon will pass into Earth's shadow in an event that will be visible across all of the United States and Canada.
The total lunar eclipse will be made even more striking by the presence of the nearby planet Saturn and the bright bluish star, Regulus."
Bush ought to try this on Chavez and his threat to cut off oil. He's not the brightest flare in the refinery.
Accompany the threat with some sulphur fumes and he might buy it.
Ah, a preview of Chavez' ultimate destination.
The word that misled me was saved.
I wanted to know how an eclipse would save us in 10 days.
It won't. I wondered if anyone would question that.
Everybody knows it was the Chinese that discovered America in 1421
There you go.
Leif Erikson beat all of them though.

Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old from China who became the youngest golfer to make the cut in a major championship at the Masters, accepted an exemption to play in the Memorial Tournament next week at Muirfield Village Golf Club, the tournament announced yesterday.
Guan finished 58th in the Masters last month. He was invited to play in the tournament as a result of his victory in the 2012 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
He has since received sponsor's exemptions to play in two other PGA Tour events. He finished 71st in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and last week missed the cut in the Byron Nelson Championship.
"I am very excited to accept the invitation to play at the Memorial Tournament," Guan said in a statement. "It is Jack Nicklaus' event, and the same as all the golf fans out there I have very high respect to Mr. Nicklaus, not just as a golf legend, but also as a great person.
"He has been actively involved in the development of golf in China, and junior golf development worldwide, and as a junior golfer myself, I appreciate what he has done to help us grow. My parents and I got the chance to meet him in person at the Masters, and that was one of the highlights of my week at Augusta National. I appreciate a lot the Memorial Tournament for having me there, and it is going to be a great week."
Nicklaus said in a statement that his tournament has a history of inviting the U.S. Amateur and British Amateur champions and hopes an exemption can be established in the future for the Asia-Pacific winner.
"With the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship becoming such an important event in the game of golf, and with the winner earning an invitation to the Masters Tournament and a spot in international final qualifying for the British Open, the Captains Club thought it was only appropriate to offer an invitation to the Memorial Tournament," he said.
Nicklaus said Guan is "mature beyond his years and very passionate about his development in the game. Winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur was a great achievement in and of itself, but his maturity, composure and competitiveness in (the Masters and at New Orleans) sends a message that this young man has a wonderful future. For the growth of the game internationally, he is a role model for all aspiring Asian amateurs, as well as young boys and girls around the globe, so it is only appropriate to give him another opportunity to compete on a world-class stage."

(Updated) The Onion Should Know Better than to Call a 9-Year-Old Girl a 'Cunt'
(Updated below)
I typically love The Onion's satirical take on, well, everything. But tonight during the Acadamy Awards the person in charge of The Onion's twitter feed said something so offensive, it has been deleted. I figured it wouldn't be up for long so I took a screen shot:

Golf gets a new spin this summer when the Boca Raton Museum of Art's exhibition "Big Art: Miniature Golf" takes over the museum's first floor main gallery. Part art, part recreation, all fun, "Big Art: Miniature Golf" takes traditional miniature golf, with its infuriating windmills and oversized clowns, and turns it on its ear, with some extreme and artful examples of how mini-golf can unlock a players' imagination, making the felt fairways much more than just a game.
"Big Art" is not just some ingenious ploy to get kids in the museum this summer by tricking them into enjoying the world of art. It's a way to make art more accessible by showing the process of merging art, design and function into a tangible and fun experience. "Big Art" literally brings art to life, turning the museum's gallery into a full-fledged miniature golf course. Designed by artists from around the United States, 11 golf holes go from render to reality, making for playable art with guests welcomed and encouraged to tee up and try their hand at scoring some birdies.
The indoor setting allows the creative team at the Boca Museum to use more "weather-sensitive" materials than the all-too-common roadside miniature golf courses. This allows for more intricate and inventive construction of these monolithic structures of artful recreation, keeping closely in line with the artist's original idea. The "Tiger Woods" hole, a Thunder Cats-esque monument of a tiger devouring a golf ball, is sure to be a fan favorite, while the solar hole "Toward the Black Hole" will have visitors remembering their elementary school dioramas of the solar system (My Very Excellent Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas, indeed—in my book, Pluto is still a planet, scientists!). Other holes making "Big Art" a big success will be "A Hole," which finds golfers putting inside a giant golf hole cup; the "World's Smallest Version of the World's Largest Miniature Golf Course," which is a bit of a mouthful but a lot of fun, in which golfers play a miniature mini-golf course with tiny clubs; and the regionally appropriate "Golf in the Swamp with John Muir," which sets golfers playing through with a common reptilian hazard out on the links.
- "Big Art: Miniature Golf" opens July 18 and runs through October 7. Museum guests are encouraged to cut loose and putt a few around the greens, giving new meaning to functional art.

In Wings time, Paul didn't write only "silly love songs"... He wrote a controvertial politic song "Give Ireland Back To The Irish", a kinda animal protection activist song "Wild Life" , sex/drugs theme "Hi Hi Hi", about eldery on "Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People", and I didn't recall if he wrote some enviroment theme that time.
Actually Paul is an activist person and his fight for animal and enviroment protection is well known all around the world.

Some of the finest jewelry pieces ever made have come from a little blue box. The most exclusive ones appear in the Blue Book, Tiffany and Co.'s annual catalog of its most brilliant creations. This year's 200-piece collection was inspired by the glamour of New York City in the Roaring Twenties—big bands, lavish parties and The Great Gatsby, which served as the ultimate inspiration. Diamond headpieces, long ropes of pearls and other American Deco accessories in the Blue Book were designed especially for Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel, which debuts May 10.

Reduced golf prices are available for Cable Hollow members.
All dinners for golfers and guests must be pre-paid before the tournament.
The tournament committee is seeking hole-sponsorships from businesses and individuals at $75 per hole to help support the tournament. Anyone seeking further information about the tournament or any business or organization interested in a hole sponsorship should contact Steve Centi at 499-4929.
Entry checks and donations should be mailed to Centi at 199 McDaniel Ave., Jamestown, NY 14701.
The entry deadline is Aug.16, but entries are welcome anytime prior to the deadline and are recommended as early as possible.

This is one of the most accessible of Nietzsche's works. It was published in 1887, a year after Beyond Good and Evil, and he intended it to be a continuation of the investigation into the theme of morality. In the first work, Nietzsche attacked the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalized weakness, and he criticized past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. In On the Genealogy of Morals, subtitled "A Polemic", Nietzsche furthers his pursuit of a clarity that is less tainted by imposed prejudices. He looks at the way attitudes towards 'morality' evolved and the way congenital ideas of morality were heavily colored by the Judaic and Christian traditions.

"Be strong, not weak."
On as many levels as possible, this towering philosopher for the ages, tormented soul and liberated intellectual, has set the bar bar for courage and value, leaving most United States Marines in the dust.
He established the spiritual, intellectual and physical norm for "weakness leaving the body."
If you look at his intensity as a war for the individual against false authority (master) and against false submissiveness (slave) you can then understand how his battle is to establish true value in life, as opposed to false submissiveness or brute authoritarianism. Enjoy.
"Good narration."
There are many narrations of Nietzsche, some of which are terrible. This guy definitely is much, much better.
"Ahead of his time!"
Guaranteed a true athiest even if he wouldn't have Thot so of himself in that era... If he were alive today he would be leading with the new atheists in searching for a peaceful world without faith! For sure ;)
His words ring true in my ears

Our Non-US Canoe/Kayak Team
The defining feature of the Olympic Games is the global dimension of the event. 204 countries had teams marching into those incredible Opening Ceremonies.
Watching that parade of athletes, I was struck by just how global USACK's own activities are. We not only travel around the world regularly as part of training and competing in all our sports, but we host many athletes and teams from other countries each year.
Here in Beijing I watched as the Chilean team marched in. One of their athletes, Pablo McCandless is a dual-citizen who has loved in the US and trained and competed with our slalom athletes for years. His coach for these Olympics is also one we call our own, Rafal Smolen.
The small team representing Guam marched by and I spotted Sandra Low, a member of the USACK Board of Directors. She is serving a Team Leader and coach for a young canoeist who qualified for Guam in the Oceania Continental Qualifier. Did you know that there are more members of USACK in Guam than in any of the 50 States?
One of the many colorful teams from Africa that entered the Bird's Nest Stadium was from Senegal. I felt a sense of pride in knowing that Assane Fall, a wonderful young man who has made many friends during his last two years training with our Sprint team in Chula Vista, was an Olympian only as a result of his experience working with our head coach, Nathan Luce, our assistant coaches (a special nod to Chris Zimmer) and our athletes who welcomed him to their team. Assane's stay with us was made possible by a program of the IOC called Olympic Solidarity designed to broaden the participation in sports in developing countries. Assane progressed dramatically as a paddler, learned to speak English and earned his Olympic experience. We also gained from his humor, warmth and attitude. A real-life, "mini-Olympic" experience.

2, 4, and 6.
Not sure which order.
What mirror? Thank you for looking down the highway!
all of the above
10. When two kleenexes come out of the box when you only want one...and Democrats that continue to breathe.
I am sick of gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, 24/7. Next to that is race, race, race, race, race, 24/7.
All of the above and so much more.
If only the truth could launch one thousand ships. Thank You for pouring yourself on them.
2. Liberals 3 through 8 are meaningless after that.
3 through 10. Duh.
The Kartrashians.
Yet important stories such as about Benghazi, B. Obama's ineptness, etc. are ignored.
All of the above, regrettably.
In light of recent events, I'm also sick of celebrities who employ publicists to keep their names in as many papers, magazines, and web sites as possible in an effort to game the ratings/box office/music sales system suddenly demanding privacy whenever they encounter misfortune. If they truly want privacy they're going about it the wrong way. I'm also sick of drugs and booze rehab stories being used as yet more fodder for the PR mill. Finally, I'm sick of every cute, healthy-looking starlet looking like a zombie within a year while we are told that the starlet has been on a tough workout routine, is now a vegan, etc. when in reality the starlet has cashed a large paycheck and has been snorting up half of Bolivia.
May we fly away?
Yes, while most people come here to read regurgitated news and made up news, have single sided discussions with people who think like them, there are a few of us who actually peruse FR for original ideas and original thinking -- at least on our better days.

I am tired of (a) this defeatist mentality that there is no possibility of anything good happening, and, (b) that nothing good matters because it all will be taken away or reversed, and, (c) of all of the general doom and gloom.
You do realize that Jefferson wrote the words in your tagline to criticize Christianity, in general, don't you? And of course, Jefferson's inflamatory bigotry was unparalleled in its ignorance; he was rebelling against the collapse of freedom in Britain brought about by an institution of a king who had literally murdered his conscience.
Why is Obumbo not on your list? Oh, I know...He would suck in all the votes and make your poll useless.
11. The pocket of my pants getting hooked on the arm of my bar stool when I get up to go to the men's room. I couldn't do it on purpose if I tried.
What doom and gloom? It just took so long to find you.
Also: atheism as enlightenment.
Do I really need to add the tag?
"I am sick of gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, 24/7. Next to that is race, race, race, race, race, 24/7."
Lol! Yep! Well-said!

Official *What did you get in the mail today?* Thread!!!
I got stush reduction from Nicole
Thank you so much Nicole for sharing with me such fine teas
My second Rizhao Black tea from an Aliexpress dealer! So far this one is more heavier roasted and has more cocoa nib flavour in it. It tastes a little bit like Ovaltine.
It is really good. It has similarities in flavour to the Laoshan teas but is a little sweeter, less bitter/brownie like and not quite as robust.
I got this one from this shop.
It's a lot of tea but it comes packed in sample size bags (great for keeping it fresh and travelling with it).
Most of the Rizhao tea sold online is green tea sometimes sold as Sunfall tea or sunshine tea, but if your interested I can pm you a list of some other dealers that sell it as well, sometimes in smaller amounts.
I love getting tea in the mail, and I especially love getting tea in the mail two days in a row. Today was my Tealux order. Tons of new black teas to try. This makes me happy.
I got the Stash Reduction from Nicole, and it is wonderful!! I am drinking the Almond Cream by Capitol Teas right now! Post to come later!
Part of my job is sorting the mail that comes into my dorm, and I always like seeing people getting letters that look exciting (maybe because I never do…). So today, when I saw a fat little envelope with cute little porcupine stamps, I naturally looked to see who it was for…
… and imagine my surprise when it was for me! It was Lala sending me a couple of matchas she didn't like, and it pretty much made my day. =]
Stash reduction from Nicole!!! Lots of teas to try now. Thanks!
Yesterday I received my American Tea Room order… and guess what I finally ordered after all the ranting and raving? BRIOCHE! And guess what else? I have never tried it before and I am truly in love!!!! I bought 2oz. of it and the cute little geisha tin that I also had my eye on from there. I ordered it during the labor day sale:) They also included a free sample and its like they knew I was a coconut lover because the sample I recieved was, So Coconut.
http:[email protected]/9690142126/
http:[email protected]/9686906343/
I could not wait to use the tin so there went the Brioche right inside.
http:[email protected]/9686909889/
I received my Teavana Yixing Travel Tumbler today :) I wanted a flask for a while which my husband says is a waste of time as I rarely leave the house. I suppose he is right but I do go out often on the weekend with my parents for a walk in the countryside with their dogs, we always stop at a little cafe somewhere and their tea selections leave a lot to be desired. Now I don't have to suffer the choice of two bagged teas that are not as fresh as they could be :D Plus a bonus of this being Yixing. Thinking of seasoning this with Oolong as it usually tastes great hot, warm or cold (in other words it's very versatile).
I have the Design on the far left.
Nicole's generous give away!
Thanks, I look forward to trying them!
My neighbor texted me this afternoon with "looks like you got a ton of really cool looking packages in the mail" whee! He was right. My fixed kettle which I had just plain given up on ever having resolved (long story there, but kind of oops…I got tired of waiting and replaced it myself…that said the keep brewed tea warm feature of my original kettle is better for cool weather when I crave big pots of flavored black teas over gongfu-ish resteep-y stuff, so I'll switch 'em out then), a couple of gorgeous art prints from someone on Etsy named Helen Dardik (was tipped off to her from a blog post by the Todd and Holland folks!), aaaand my Verdant order! :D Between Terri encouraging me to try Zhu Rong and the sales they've been having, my growing curiosity about pu erh thanks to Dexter, the notion of a breakfast blend but with the Verdant touch, and the coincidental sample of the Early Spring Hand Picked Tieguanyin that blew me away from Nicole (yay thanks!), I'm super duper excited.
Also got a slip notifying me they tried to deliver my Teavivre order, which is pretty nuts—I placed that order the same day I made one with Steap Shoppe (gotta see what all this Cinnamon Swirl Bread fuss is about; y'all are enablers :b), only 2 weeks ago, and it came first. From China, with free shipping. Crazy!

Bear Camp Road Open
The U.S. Forest Service says Bear Camp Road is now open for the 2012 recreational season. Due to lower levels of snow last winter, crews were able to make quick progress plowing the road. All seasonal gate closures, including Peavine-Serpintine and Galice Access Roads have been lifted.
Still, motorists are advised to avoid less traveled roads that may not be clear of snow, and to carry emergency supplies due to rapidly changing conditions. Forestry officials suggest having extra blankets, food and water, clothing and emergency equipment.

Samuel Hinkle, president of the Hershey Chocolate Corporation (left) and Eric Walker, president of Penn State University, recreate the fabled "$50 Million Dollar Phone Call."
In 1963, The M. S. Hershey Foundation offered $50 million to The Pennsylvania State University to establish a medical school and teaching hospital in Hershey. With this grant and $21.3 million from the U.S. Public Health Service, the University built a medical school, teaching hospital, and research center. Ground was broken in 1966, and Penn State's College of Medicine opened its doors to the first class of students in 1967. Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center accepted its first patients in 1970.
The original buildings at Penn State Hershey Medical Center included the Medical Science Building and medical center, Animal Research Farm, Laundry and Steam Plant, and University Manor Apartments. Since 1970, the campus has grown from 318 to 550 acres. Many additions have been made to the academic and patient-care facilities.
Today, Penn State Hershey Medical Center has completed several carefully planned construction projects. Additions were made to reflect a steady increase in patient demand for services and to expand research and teaching programs.
Founding Dean & CEO George Harrell, M.D., pictured here in 1966, oversees initial construction of the Medical Center and College of Medicine.
Penn State College of Medicine students have gone on to become productive physicians and scientists. The College of Medicine has granted 3,907 medical degrees and 1,300 graduate degrees. The College of Medicine offers degree programs in anatomy, biochemistry and molecular biology, bioengineering, cell and molecular biology, genetics, integrative biosciences, microbiology and immunology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and physiology, and two postdoctoral programs leading to an M.S. degree in Laboratory Animal Medicine, the only such program in the commonwealth, and an M.S. in Public Health Sciences. Each year, about 550 resident physicians are trained in medical specialties at the Medical Center.
The founding fathers of the Medical Center and College of Medicine (from left): Arthur Whiteman, president of the Hershey Trust Company; Samuel Hinkle, president of the Hershey Chocolate Corporation; Eric Walker, president of Penn State University; and George Harrell, M.D., founding dean and CEO.
Nursing students from Penn State College of Health and Human Development B.S. degree program rotate through the Medical Center for clinical courses each term, and students from other Penn State health-related programs and other institutions come to the campus for clinical experience. The extended B.S. degree program for nurses is offered in conjunction with the College of Health and Human Development.
Continuing education programs serve Penn State Hershey Medical Center and health-care professionals throughout Pennsylvania, with enrollments exceeding 51,000 each year.
Basic and clinical research is conducted at Penn State Hershey Medical Center and is supported by more than $100 million in awards from federal, state, and private agencies, businesses, and individuals.
At the end of June 2012, Penn State Hershey Medical Center admitted nearly 27,000 patients and provided care through over 893,000 outpatient and over 64,000 emergency-service visits. Penn State Hershey Medical Center has over 9,000 employees and 400 volunteers, and the College of Medicine enrolls 800 students annually.
