Massage Tips You Ought To Know About
You know what a great massage can feel fantastic. It may just be that prevents someone from getting a great external links for paying members only.Learn all you can about massage by reading these tips below.
You don't just the back when giving a massage. You want to make a seamless connection on a person's neck, as well as the head and arms, and head. It's critical that you learn the techniques and feel the marked difference when you take command of your actions differently.
A massage may help someone you in pain. Use your hands to press from the palms to knead out the pain.Keep doing this to get the best results.
A massage may help many different ailments. Some conditions include, carpal tunnel syndrome, cancer, arthritis, restless leg syndrome, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.
Use your thumbs to increase circulation in your body. This type of massage after waking is a great way to foster rejuvenation and start the morning. Doing it before bed can calm stress and gain a sense of calm.
If you spend your entire day in front of a computer, make sure to take frequent breaks and give your neck a message. Clasp your hands behind you and push them down on your palms. Massage slowly in an up and down slowly. Repeat this three times on each side of the neck.Keep in this position for exactly twenty seconds.
Use mint creams for a massage. Purchase high-quality products that will keep the skin.
Do not neglect the hands and feet when giving a massage. These often forgotten areas are very sensitive on most people and can yield the most pleasure. Be firm when massaging hands and feet in these areas.
A relaxing environment is vital to giving a truly enjoyable massage. The goal of the room should be mellow and relaxing. An environment filled with noise can cause stress. The environment should encourage sleep. You can achieve a calming effect by reducing the lights and playing some relaxing music.
If their pressure is too strong, there is too much or too little pressure being applied, or the pressure is too strong, make sure to make your masseuse aware of this. They will not know what you want until you say something.
Think about finding a masseuse that can come to your house or office calls. Many freelance message therapists are able to save money by traveling to their clients instead of renting out an office space; they simply travel from client to client.These massage therapists are generally much more affordable than those who have an office space.
It is important to learn to relax while receiving a massage. Try deep breathing exercises when you are laying on the massage table to help you release tension. Once the masseuse starts the external links for paying members only, keep breathing deeply now and then so that your muscles will stay relaxed and loose.
Scalp massages after shampoos are terrific for relaxation and headaches.Use your fingertips and focus on the base of the head in a circular motion as you rub your scalp.A little oil can help the process along. Do this for about ten minutes to obtain the benefits!
Particularly if you are able to get them regularly, you may find that they contribute greatly to reduced joint and muscle pain. This will help you get rid of stress and improve circulation.
Deep tissue massages are among the most beneficial things that you can do for pain in your muscles. This type of massage helps to relieve muscle tension in the deepest layers. The massage provider will apply pressure in different areas and squeeze your muscles until they release toxins.
Don't be shy about speaking up when you get a massage.
Talk to your massage therapist. Tell them about past injuries or specific areas where you are having problems. Don't be afraid to speak up if something doesn't feel right. It is supposed to be relaxing, rather it is supposed to be enjoyable.
Massage tools are great addition to the traditional massage.They can be found inexpensively online and in specialty store. Try out a variety of tools to see which ones suit you best.
This is where the real skill comes into play. Experiment on various people as you can; see how they each feel about your methods.
If you will be getting a complete body massage, make sure your feet are thoroughly cleaned ahead of time. A meticulous cleaning beforehand is very useful.
Neuromuscular therapy is a type of external links for paying members only where you apply pressure to trigger points using pressure. Trigger points are ares of the muscles that are irritated and often present themselves as lumps or knots within your muscles. These areas can be quite painful and also transfer the pain to other areas of your body. The pressure will help relieve the tense muscles giving you relief from the pain.
Don't pour oil directly from a bottle onto the body. The oil will feel cold at first. Warm up the oil in your hands before rubbing it onto the person. This method is a lot more comfortable choice. Cold oil will only shock the recipient and cause more tension.
A migraine headache can force you to stop all activities. Massages can actually help with this condition and relieve the tension that you feel.
It is possible to learn much more about massage, regardless of how knowledgeable you think you are. Use the information you've just learned and implement the tips mentioned earlier. Before long, you are going to be a pro at receiving and giving massages.

Stacy Sanches, Playboy's Miss March 1995, went on to be named Playmate of the Year 1996. Born in Dallas, Texas, she has an Irish-American mother and Mexican-American father. Stacy graduated from Lakeview Centennial High School, and was discovered by a Playboy scout while competing in a bikini contest in Hawaii. After appearing in Playboy, she became the June 1996 Playmate of the Month in Playboy's German edition.
Stacy appeared in several Playboy video documentaries and Special Editions, and hosted the second season of the TV show Playboy's Really Naked Truth. She acted in a few episodes of Dallas as well as the movies On the Line, Desperate But Not Serious, and Bikini Bash.
Stacy listed her turn-ons for Playboy: "weight training, fast country two-step dancing, and guys who really listen." Her turnoffs include "sitting in one place for too long, clubs, and bars." She told Playboy she must have "my weekends free. If I can't have a job with weekends off, then I'm not doing it."

Stepping away from factory made, and stepping in to handmade.
Rubbish Rehab began with our purchase of our first home; when we started shopping for all the furniture to fill our new house, we realized just how one sided the commercially available options were. Instead of settling with items we knew we weren't in love with; we decided to take a risk and upholster/ paint some less exciting seating options for ourselves. Needless to say our chairs turned out better than we ever could have expected; and we thought making some chairs for Etsy would be a great way to see if there were others in our same predicament looking for out of the box choices. All of our items are vintage or antique pieces which we have brought back to life with fresh upholstery and new colors. We love having the opportunity to discuss custom options with customers interested in creating one of a kind pieces for their home.

Anyone out there driving aftermarket seperates off one of the newer headunits?? The '06 I am planning on buying doesn't have the upgraded speakers or sub. I was thinking of keeping the stock unit (since it is fairly high powered right? Even tho I am not getting the upgraded speakers) and just running aftermarket speakers off of it.
Is there going to be enough power?? If not, could I just run one channel to each driver in one set of seperates in the front and leave the back empty?? I'd use a powered sub in the trunk also.
My goal is to keep a stealth look and I am too lazy to use detachable faceplate type HUs.

It's SO tough to identify, let alone stop, all those things we do because of how we were raised or because society has conditioned us to do them. I have a 6 y.o. son who has suffered from that. I'm moving to GD now and it is very hard to change all those ingrained behaviors of my own, let alone all the destructive patterns he and I have engaged in.
I do feel I need more practical help than Kohn gives in this book, which is more philosophical. But the philosophy drives the practice, so it's good for me to have read this book!
Well, I missed that in education courses but got it in spades in my psych courses. I still remember reading about how Skinner used his kid in his modification experiments *shudder*
I think Skinner is so black/white that he's easy to use -- people think results will come quick, so he's tailor-made for the education people. But I digress....
Hi! Thanks for starting this thread. I love this book.
My DD is only 14 months, so we aren't yet really at a place where we are facing any kind of "discipline" issues, but I feel fortunate to be moving forward with a mindset that Mr. Kohn's book has helped me to achieve.
I think this first chapter has been so helpful in the way I think when relating to ALL people, child or not. It is a profound notion that the message we intend to deliver is not nearly so important as the message that's perceived. I find myself, much more often, now, really trying to see things from my daughter's or husband's perspective.
I really look forward to hearing what others think. I've yet to meet anyone IRL who has even heard of this book.
Leigh Ann
mommabear207- I have a BS in early childhood ed and an MS in elementary ed and I think pretty much all along the way what we are taught and observe is conditional "parenting/teaching." For little ones (and sometimes older ones too)... time outs and reward systems (stickers, certificates, extra privileges and grades.) I think it is very hard to come away from all that. I know and understand what Kohn is saying and really do agree with it but there is always something nagging in the back of my head along the lines of if I let him get away with that it will only get worse. If I'm tired especially I have trouble fighting off that voice. So I am still struggling to do what I know is right, UP/GD. But that's why I am here!
I am a SAHM now so I don't have to worry about the teaching aspect at the moment but yes I'm sure I would struggle there too. I had someone recommend Parent Effectiveness Training for some more concrete examples in GD and he also has a book called Teacher Effectiveness Training which I would definitely read before returning to work. (The titles almost turned me off from the book but I really liked it.) Perhaps your husband would be interested in checking out the book?
I'm not sure that exactly answers your questions so feel free to ask others.
Appreciate your comments about relating to all people - I hope to get some perspective on the crappy ways I treat my poor husband.

On The Beach
When I first moved to Rockaway more than seventeen years ago, one of the first events I attended with Owen Baxter, the man who would become my husband, was the Hearts and Shamrocks Dance at St. Camillus Hall.
The minute I walked into the room, I felt this immediate sense of enchantment. I had never before heard the lilting sound of Irish music and I was immediately enraptured. The rhapsodic rhythms and lyrical rhymes were familiar to me, in the sense that they were the essence of American folk and Country music. I had no idea how to do the Stack O' Barley or the Siege of Venice; yet my body responded to the soul of the music as if I'd been raised on its sounds.
The gymnasium served as the dance hall, which seemed so lovely and provincial. I had not been to a real dance in a gym since my high school days....and then there were all those people! Well over five hundred. And it seemed there were a thousand eyes on Owen Baxter and this lovely young lady on his arm. I had never felt so conspicuous in all my life! My first thoughts were of why people were staring....and it very soon became apparent that these weren't just people staring, they were neighbors in the very small "Our Town" sense of the word; and I was merely a stranger about whom they were curious. Very soon a throng had gathered around and wanted to know everything about the girl on Owen Baxter's arm. As my self-consciousness began to melt away by the heat of their warm welcome, I very soon discovered a culture that seemed carbonated with such vitality, which made other cultures seem flat. It was a most endearing quality, for which the Irish are noted - the spirit of Failte.
And James Conway Sullivan, though not Irish born, emanated it.
Very soon it was Jimmy's voice that boomed on the microphone, "And here's Owen Baxter, the Cavan Thrush, as usual, on time to be late, finally with a woman who can dress him!" And that's how we met. Jimmy and I became fast friends and shared a kindred spirit. I could listen to him for hours as he would move from one topic to another, whether it be Irish History, Politics, Poetry, Literature ...with the knowledge of a scholar, yet with the passion of a blissful child. He had such delightful witticisms that mirrored his intriguing culture, and he was happiest sitting alone, thumping the bar, and singing along with those exhilarating Irish Rebel songs.
And, while I've told the story each year around this time, I have to always remember my friend whose name is intertwined with every beat of the fife and drum and each movement of the march.
Anatural leader, Jimmy felt that the Irish community in Rockaway deserved its own parade. Of course, in its humble beginnings, the effort was ridiculed. The local paper dubbed Jimmy's idea of a parade, Sullivan's Follies. But Jimmy went marching along...with a few makeshift tri-color banners and his mother, sister, brothers and Tommy Touhey in tow! It soon swelled to its current distinction of being the second largest parade celebrating Irish culture and the Patron Saint of Ireland, St. Patrick. The parade, which steps off each year on the first Saturday in March, has become a part of Rockaway's folklore.
Since Jimmy's passing in 2001, the parade has been under the inspiring leadership of Michael Benn, who had some big shoes to fill; yet brought his own brand of leadership in bringing the entire parade committee, comprised of fifty members, along. Helping him to mount such a Herculean effort, are his wife Christina, and their massive and ever-growing family; Committee Vice President, Peggy Neville; parade Treasurer, John Brennan; Financial Secretary, Ed Rice; and Parliamentarian, John Murphy. Under Mike Benn's leadership, this fantastic annual Rockaway tradition continues to attract thousands of spectators to our shores.
This year, the parade committee will honor as its Grand Marshal, James T. Callahan, President and Business Manager, Local 15 of the International Union of Operating Engineers. The Honorary Grand Marshals are Captain Phylis Byrne and the Hon. Larry McDermott. The James Conway Sullivan Gael of the Year is John Perry, Minister, TD. Our Deputy Grand Marshals are: MSGR. John Brown, Dr. David Lichtenstein, Captain Patrick Kelly, James McVeigh, Bill Kinane, Grace Toland, Jane Deacy, Diane Willem and Pat Devine. Congratulations to this year's honorees and to Mike Benn and the committee on another parade season well done!
***See you....at the parade on March 1!

Our friend Nadine Dorries has shown herself, yet again, to be the quintessence of human decency, a Mother Theresa-like figure to whose lofty heights of loveliness we should all aspire:
My association is an election winning machine run by my Chairman, Andy Rayment and Deputy Chair Political, Steve Male.
Both are busy men and run the association in a regimented and disciplined manner.
As focused driven individuals, neither Andy or Steve suffer fools lighlty.
So when a 'nutter' began bombarding my association with telephone calls and emails, this made me laugh out loud http://www.bedfordshire-news.co.uk/Blogs/John-Balls-Diary/Monday-September-20.htm [this goes to a story reporting on how blogger Tim Ireland has contacted Mr Rayment]
I have heard that when a copy of this was leaked to my local newspapers, in indignation, it caused much mirth in the newspaper offices too.
So, my former Lib Dem opponent carries handcuffs around in her handbag. I'm not even going to ask….
Please note that the quotation above is taking verbatim from Ms Dorries' own blog. I therefore apologise for the multifarious stylistic errors. She would not have made a fabulous secretary, but then she doesn't make a particularly good MP either, does she?
Both Seaneen (here) and I (here) have written recently on the use of humour – which can include certain what seem to be pejorative terms – in the discussion of and even in destigmatising aspects of mental illness. By and large we both concluded that the intent of a particular term or allusion was what served as the clear demarcation between amusing and offensive.
So, if a friend who was familiar with my circumstances poked fun at my mentalism and described me as a 'nutter', I would probably treat it as gentle teasing. No big deal.
However, two things strike me on Dorries' use of the term. One: Tim Ireland, with whom she has had a long-running public spat, is not to the best of my knowledge diagnosed with any mental health difficulties (not that, if he were, there is any reason for shame, and not that her imbecility would be excused). She doesn't like Mr Ireland, and he represents a very public inconvenience for her; ergo, her terminology is evidently used in a critical fashion.
It reasonably follows, therefore, that if she uses such a term antagonistically, she feels that being a 'nutter' is a Bad Thing, which in turn follows that she thinks people with mental health problems are flawed people – probably lazy benefit frauds, in her estimation, as her asinine anti-Twitter rant would appear to attest. (If you can concentrate on a number of tiny messages several times a day, then there's damn all wrong with your concentration, ability to type, yadda yadda).
Secondly, it almost doesn't matter in what fashion Ms Dorries uses derogatory terms because she is (to the regret of many) a public figure. Even if it had been innocent and little more than a gentle dig, using a possibly offensive word whilst basking in a public limelight could potentially have the effect of normalising such thinking – "bad person = nutter // nutters = bad people".
We've all heard of the headlines in The Scum screaching "schizo", "madman" and, indeed, "nutter", when the individuals to which they allude don't always even have mental illnesses. In the cases where they do, reference is rarely made to what is actually wrong with the individual (unless (s)he conveniently enough has schizophrenia, which is of course totally mis-represented by the pathetic little rag) and even more uncommonly is there a discussion of the fact that the vast majority of mentally ill people are not remotely dangerous nor particularly sensationalist. But that doesn't sell rags.
Dorries' nonsense isn't all that different. OK, it's on a small-ish scale – she isn't that well-known – and she certainly doesn't have the influence of The Scum, but she is still in a position of responsibility, and is choosing to abuse that. She has berated the aforereferenced Mr Ireland as not being a constituent to whom she is therefore not accountable. Fair enough, but she is accountable to everyone in her constituency (regardless of whether or not they voted for her), and a proportion of those people will be certified "nutters".
For the record, I personally am not particularly offended by Dorries' asinine rambling, but I think that it is representative of a wider and more concerning issue.
Consider this. Try replacing the term 'nutter' with any one of 'queer', 'nigger', 'kyke', 'mong' etc (God, it pains me even to write those, and I'm far from 'PC'). It's not so long ago that some of these words (and many others) were used simply to criticise people, whether they belonged to the subset of the population to which the phraseology applied or not. I don't think anybody but the likes of Nick cuntface Griffin would deem most of these slurs acceptable in today's everyday parlance…so why, then, is it still considered widely acceptable to use deliberately prejudicial language to reference mental illness?
Certain otherwise pejorative terms are considered acceptable in this arena whenever the intent behind the statement is clearly not malicious. Being an ignorant, self-important arsehole with an attitude problem is not, however, tolerable. Phil summed up Dorries best to me in a blog comment yesterday: she's the sponger, living off my taxes.
Thanks to @humphreycushion, one of Dorries' current objects of ire, for drawing my attention to this matter. The Conservative Party Conference is ongoing in Birmingham this week, and the lurrrrr-vel-ley Nadine will be in situ. If you're in the area, do go along and tell her what you think.
EDIT TO ADD: @humphreycushion has published a very interesting list of articles out there in the blogophere discussing Nadine Dorries' recent comments on this post of her blog.
EDIT TO ADD II: There is an excellent post refuting Nadine Dorries' one-sided, ill-informed opinions – specifically regarding mental illnesses – here.

There's nothing much prettier than a snowy winter wonderland, and again this winter we've experienced an unusually heavy snowfall. Once the driveway is cleared, there are other steps you can take to protect property from winter damage. Snow and ice can damage roofs, knock down trees and power lines, and harm shrubs.
Last winter, heavy snow loads collapsed at least two buildings in this area. If possible, property owners should carefully remove heavy snow from at least the lower 3-4 feet of the roof to avoid the damage caused by "ice dams" which form if snow thaws and refreezes before it can drain. Gutters should have been cleaned in the fall; if not, you may need to climb up (carefully!) and remove debris so water can drain quickly. A few years ago, we experienced water stains on our ceiling caused by ice pushing up under the shingles in the ditch of the roof, melting into the attic and eventually wetting the ceiling below. After costly repairs, we learned to use a rake and carefully loosen and drag down some of the snow.
If the downspouts are open, check the lower end to be sure your shrubs aren't being buried in ice. If it's too late, it may be best to carefully break ice loose, especially if evergreens are involved. Other shrubs may be able to bounce back or may need to be pruned after things thaw out.
If you have window wells or doorways that collect heavy snow, there's a danger of seepage into the house. It's best to shovel it out rather than risk damage.
Any containers, including bird baths and fountains, should be covered or insulated to keep accumulated water from freezing and breaking them. Large snow drifts and deep snow may provide cover for small animals to cause damage to low plants, and hungry mice and rabbits may use snow to scale fences and reach higher up stems to nibble.
Heavy snow buildup in trees may melt without a problem, but if it's bending branches you may be able to carefully sweep it out from below or shake the branches gently. Don't let a limb or a chunk of ice fall on you, though!
Probably the worst damage to plants is caused by compacted snow that has been blown or shoveled into piles atop them. And of course, when salt is used to melt snow and ice, it can damage your plants. Sand or clay-based kitty litter would be safer choices.
In most cases, snow is nothing to fear in the garden. It's a great insulator and it will supply much-needed water to the soil. More birds will visit your feeders in search of nourishment. Roses are said to flower better after a hard winter, and pears and apples will set more fruit because of the nitrogen captured by the falling snow. Maybe that's why Taylor's Encyclopedia of Gardening calls snow the "poor man's fertilizer." We might as well look for the positives!

I tried Nuvola (nuvola-bzr), which is a very nice player since it can be minimized to tray icon, but it crashes more often, than it works.
What other alternatives are there, apart from using a browser?
Laptop: ThinkPad W500, C2D P9500, 8GB, Radeon RV635 (HD3650), Arch | Server/fw: Zotac AQ01, A4-5000 Kabini, 4GB, Arch/pfSense VM
I found a rhythmbox plugin here http://osmsg.com/2011/05/google-music-f … ox-plugin/ but never tried it.

It's the oldest currency still used in the world today, and has had a massive impact on the world rule brittania!
It stood up to the euro and its british - what else is there to say. - ozzydog12
In value the sterling pound is only ranked 6th but of the ones valued higher it is much more widely excepted. It's only real completion is the US dollar and the euro. The euro well we all know the problems there have been during the economic crisis in recent times. Which leaves the US dollar from the country that potentialy has the most power behind its currency. The US dollar is what the world measures again so is the bench mark. Maybe just me though but In a personal view the notes feel and look like toy money monopoly money. As for this list frankly it's a popularity content rather the real ranking and the top will always be a numbers game let's be honest the Indian population is pretty big I'm surprised gbp is 2nd but possible to the wrong country

We have the best currency in the world because it is so strong and is colorful it is easy to identify unlike say American dollars where they all look the same
Australia Should be on top Not India. Who in the world made this list. We all know India does not have the best economy in the world. Australia has always been stable and have never gradually done things to jeopardize there economy in anyway shape or form. Last time I checked A third world country can never have a better economy then a first world country. That's a fact.

US Dollar is the best currency in the world I'm so proud to be an American is the most powerful and has the best coins and it's the strongest currency in the world taking over the British Pound Euro and the Swiss Franc are way better than the Peso and the Rupees etc. The currency of choice for the largest marked in the world.
We have the best currency in the world because it is so strong and is colorful it is easy to identify unlike say American dollars where they all look the same this should be number 1 on the list We will always have the strongest currency in the whole world.
Why the hell is India on top. The United States is the largest economic entity on the planet. Other countries have a lot of confidence in the US. Many countries hold their gold in the United States. People know that the US will be a superpower until the planet is destroyed which is why we will always have the strongest currency.
Indians vote themselves to the top to make themselves feel better about their country. They know it's terrible, but stroking their egos on here gives them a confidence boost. - Fermont

Euros are the best currency in the world the notes are so simple and pretty and the coins are also pretty. The good fact is that each country in Europe which is in the European Union has its own Euro "esign" so its nice to collect different ones!
The Euro is an amazing currency formed basically overnight and is now the third strongest currency in the world. In addition to that many countries use it and the countries that use it are the best countries in the world. There are many designs on the coins for each country (The United State's 50 state quarters are no match for these designs! )
Euro is so pretty and is close to overtaking the Kuwait currency thus bringing it to be the best currency in the world. In Ireland we have a harp on back of the coin.

I think this is awesome! I always use this currency to buy things and the shop keeper doesn't even care... How awesome is that?
I think everybody should be able to use monopoly money in real life because sooner or later money will finish and people will starve, so let's start now to use monopoly money as a world currency!
By doing this the whole world will be united because we will all have the same currency!
Credit cards should be replaced with monopoly credit card!
I'll do it someday and the whole world will know my name
The only currency around the globe that brings people together and let you have tons of joy with friends and family! Without a doubt the best.

China is booming up now, obviously. You can see an extremely overwhelmingly strong trend in its currency as well.I am pretty confident about what would this currency perform later on. Accordingly, Chinese RMB has appreciated against USD and EURO heaps during the past five years. On top of that, Chinese currency is significantly undervalued against what it should deserve, honestly speaking, and the market would adjust itself sooner or later, regardless of Chinese government's fierce control on the fixed exchange rate policy.
Chinese currency will likely be the most widely used in a few decades.
Chinese currency is the best
£1=10 yuan now I think it's time to invest in it, maybe only £50=500 yuan by this time next year you'll have 6,000 yuan and the Chinese yuan will be worth more I'd say the value would be £1=2-5 yuan. So you'd be doubling your money or even better.

The Unnatural History of the Sea. Callum Roberts. xviii + 435 pp. Island Press, 2007. $28.
If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us! But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us!—Samuel Taylor Coleridge, December 18, 1831, Table Talk
If we could indeed learn from history, then The Unnatural History of the Sea would transform stewardship of the world's oceans. In this comprehensive account of commercial fishing over the centuries, author Callum Roberts skillfully weaves a net far finer and greater than that of any previous author, casting it more widely around the globe and further back in time, bringing up for our inspection enormous and enigmatic marine creatures, daring explorers and exploiters, hordes of fishers, and cynical policy makers.
Using firsthand accounts and narratives from earlier eras, Roberts is able to conjure up scenes that are more moving than those in even the best natural-history documentaries. Readers get a glimpse of the abundance of marine life in earlier times, even around the shores of America and Europe, and of the reasons for its decline. They can finally begin to understand why it is now the case that "camera crews filming ocean wildlife must travel thousands of kilometers to witness spectacles that were ordinary and familiar to people in Dampier's day." (British explorer William Dampier lived from 1651 to 1715.)
The book takes the reader on a voyage around the world, charting exhaustively the relentless plunder of species after species, stock after stock, from the 11th century to the present. Roberts pays particular attention to the early decline of freshwater fish in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries, which motivated the move to sea fishing. He also tracks the reactions of the early explorers to the Americas. The Frenchman Jacques Cartier, for example, describing what he saw on a visit to Canada's Madeleine Islands in 1534, wrote that
[W]e went down to the lowest part of the least island where we killed about a thousand of those Godetz [gannets] and Apponatz [great auks]. We put into our boats so many of them as we pleased, for in less than one hour we might have filled thirty such boats with them.
This type of reaction to the discovery of new resources is fascinating. My first thought was to attribute the early colonists' inclination to plunder to their sheer excitement at such marvelous abundance. However, watching the theme of discovery and decimation play out in the book over hundreds of years, I was forced to conclude that human greed is the cause, for the destruction continues despite rising knowledge and awareness. For example, although it was clear at the time that pauses in fishing during the First and Second World Wars allowed North Sea stocks to recover and catches to increase, the British government ignored the scientists who argued after the wars that fishing efforts should not be renewed to previous levels.
Roberts is particularly good at conveying how crippled and farcical past attempts to legislate fisheries have been. British fishers have been protesting trawling for more than 500 years, testifying in large numbers at inquiries about the destruction caused by dragging a net over the seafloor. Roberts goes into great detail about two of these inquiries: In 1863, the British government appointed a Royal Commission to examine complaints about trawling. The commissioners concluded that no new restrictions were needed. They also advised that all previous Acts of Parliament regulating fishing should be repealed. Just 20 years later, in 1883, another Royal Commission of Inquiry had to be convened because of evidence of the depletion of fish stocks after the advent of steam trawling. That inquiry commissioned a study, but after a decade the flawed research exonerated trawling as the cause of the depletion. When it comes to exploiting the seas, it does seem as though "passion and party blind our eyes."
Just as I was beginning to experience seasickness on the book's seemingly endless voyage of exploitation, Roberts abruptly dumped me on the rather dry land of current fisheries management. Modern fishing is a complex social and political issue, but Roberts glosses over the complexities, coming up with seven solutions. He particularly focuses on one of these: the creation of areas closed to fishing (marine reserves), a subject on which he has published many articles. His tour of fisheries management is so brief that the reader is forced to take these solutions on faith, with little debate. Many readers will accept them readily, though, having been convinced beyond doubt that past and ongoing exploitation needs to be rectified.
More disappointing than Roberts's brief treatment of fisheries management is his failure to link the solutions he offers to the history of fishing he has so carefully constructed. He leaves unanswered how we might integrate this newly synthesized knowledge of past stock abundances and past human behavior into current fisheries management.
The Unnatural History of the Sea is unprecedented in the extent to which it reconstructs the past state of nature using historical accounts. The book has great power to move people to save what is left and perhaps even restore what has passed. Unfortunately, Roberts's tinny summary will leave readers unconvinced as to how to proceed. But with his illuminating light now on the stern, scientists and policy makers may yet use this knowledge to chart a better way forward.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reeling from not one but two disappointments on Tuesday. It is widely believed that he was desperate for Mitt Romney to win the American presidential election. But he also had an eye on another election at home.
The main religious-Zionist party Jewish Home was holding its primaries to choose a new leader, and the winner was none other than his former right-hand man who he wanted to lose.
High tech millionaire Naftali Bennett became Netanyahu's chief of staff from 2006, and was responsible for the campaign that got him elected as Likud leader. But the two didn't see eye to eye, and in 2008 Bennett left. Bibi was so keen for him not to be elected that his wife Sara Netanyahu was reportedly canvassing against him.
So what is it that made Netanyahu want one of Bennett's rival primary candidates to lead Jewish Home? It's not a subject he's discussed but one can suppose that it's in large part the very same things he liked about Bennett back in 2006.
He is extremely successful. In 1999, Bennett — who is profiled in this Forward article — co-founded Cyota, a company that develops anti-fraud software and became its CEO. He sold the company in 2005 to U.S.-based RSA Security for $145 million. It was shortly afterwards that he joined Bibi, and impressed him with his brains and charisma.
Now, he's bringing all of that to a party that took a battering in the last election and is raring for a comeback. It's a vigorously pro-settler party to the right of Likud but Bennett, who lives not in a settlement but in Ranaana, is politically astute, and sports a clean-shaven face and just a small yarmulke on his head looks nothing like a stereotypical settler, is well placed to make inroads among Likud's supporters.
"We have already enlisted many Likud voters from around the country," he told local media. — and he's probably telling the truth.
Bottom line: Expect serious overtures from Bibi to religious-Zionist voters during this election campaign.

Belmont Fan Sings Miley Cyrus Song To Distract North Carolina Player – VIDEO
Listen closely, as you can hear a Belmont basketball fan singing a Miley Cyrus song to try to disrupt North Carolina's James Michael McAdoo at the foul line, during a game on Sunday.
Whether it had anything to do with the fan belting out lyrics from "Wrecking Ball", or not, McAdoo missed the shot.
You have to credit the fan for some originality here.

Chippewa Humane Association
Animals for Adoption
On average CCHA has about 150 - 200 adoptable pets at one given time. Keep in mind that although pets are posted on Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet, not every single animal is put up. If you're not interested in any that you see on the websites, feel free to call the shelter and ask about other animals. Also, if you're interested in a certain breed, size, or age, contact the shelter and they will put you on a wait list. When an animal that fits your wants joins the shelter, you will be contacted.
Click the links below to view our lists of animals on Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet.
Adoption Fees
Unaltered $90
Altered $110
< Cats:
Unaltered $60
Altered $80
Other Animals:
Ferrets $40
Birds $40
Small Animals $40
These prices include tax.
If a second cat is adopted within 30 days of the initial adoption, the adoption fee is waived. Animals that have been at the shelter for over 9 months, or over 9 years of age are eligible for $10 off the adoption fee.
Chippewa Humane offers ASAP Adoptions, meaning some animals are eligible for same day adoption with an approved application.
As part of our mission to prevent pet over- population, the shelter requires all animals to be altered before they are adopted. Though we have many animals that are already altered, we are financially unable to spay and neuter every animal. Therefore, if you have chosen an unaltered animal, the shelter will make an appointment with a local vet clinic, transport the animal to the vet, and, when necessary, pick the animal up from the vet to observe it before it goes into its new home. Arrangements are then made for the new adopter to pick up the animal. This is at the expense of the adopter. In the case of animals too young to be altered, we will provide you with a neuter contract and a date by which the animal must be altered.
** The neuter fee covers veterinary services and is NOT refundable. **
Chippewa Humane is not funded by tax-based monies, so we rely on donations, adoptions, and fundraisers to keep our doors open! Remember, the staff and volunteers are resourceful. We will gladly accept generic brands, used items, and other supplies not listed. We appreciate your generosity and know the animals do too!! We have a pay-it-forward policy. Any item we are unable to use is forwarded to other organizations in need. Call the shelter if you have any questions about any item(s) you wish to donate.

"The environment here allows people to open up" – Joel Solomon, Renewal Partners
We've written a few times here at CityCaucus.com about the folks that Frances Bula once "jokingly" referred to as the Hollyhock Mafia. We think it would be worthwhile for more Vancouverites, and those who work at City Hall to get to know the organization and its supporters who now pull the levers of power in our city.
The video above provided by Hollyhock's Social Change Institute promotes their annual retreats done in the isolated surroundings of Cortes Island, where many recent City Hall hires have visited. We highly recommend to our readers to spend just over five minutes watching this, and make your own conclusions.
Featured speakers in the video include a who's who of political and environmental activism, such as Judy Rebick and Tzeporah Berman, who currently sits as a director for the Hollyhock board. There are a few interesting quotes in the video, which have the tone of a religious call to action:
"We need to gain power. People want to take action. People are excited and willing." – Merren Smith, ForestEthics
"What we're saying has a lot of receptivity. We actually have to be advancing things that can be implemented right away, that are tailor-made to be implemented by a receptive government." – Rick Smith, Environmental Defence
"We have an incredibly ambitious agenda we have to achieve, unprecented in the history of humanity. We have to transform the relationships with ourselves, with our neighbours and with the Earth. It's never been done before." – Will Horter, Dogwood Initiative
At almost the exact five minute mark of the video you see the matron of this movement, Carol Newell, whose inherited millions form the base of the Endswell Foundation and Renewal Partners, the organizations Kentucky-bred Joel Solomon leads on her behalf. After Newell's and Solomon's heavily edited quotes, a pre-city councillor Andrea Reimer mutters this rapture-filled and ominous statement:
"I have ridiculous faith that this project of life and global survival is so possible and so doable."
It would be interesting to know how that Project of Life is going for Andrea now that she's in government.
With the recent news that Geoff Meggs is in hospital after a collision with a car while riding his bike, the speculation is beginning as to whether the Hollyhock crowd will push for more power within Vision Vancouver. Meggs is the straight up labour guy representing the NDP faction of the party, whereas Robertson's influential Chief of Staff Mike Magee leads the Hollyhock contingent.
We here at CityCaucus.com wish Coun. Meggs a speedy recovery, and hope that he has no lasting consequences of his accident.

Rip Currents Hitting Gulf
Tropical Storm Gustav is forecast to rapidly strengthen in the northwestern Caribbean Sea on Friday and Saturday before entering the Gulf of Mexico as a major hurricane. Gustav is also expected to increase in size once the cyclone reaches the Gulf of Mexico, and these expanding wind fields will produce sea swells that will reach Florida's Gulf of Mexico beaches by early Sunday. Additionally, onshore winds along Florida's Atlantic beaches are forecast to strengthen this weekend, which will create a moderate to high risk for rip currents.
A rip current is a channel of water that rapidly flows away from the shoreline. By heeding the advice of local officials and lifeguards, residents and visitors to Florida's beaches can reduce their chances of injury or loss of life.
"Hurricanes produce hazardous marine and boating conditions, including rip currents, well away from the storm's eye. These conditions can injure or drown those who enter the surf zone. We're urging all beachgoers and mariners to heed warnings from local authorities and lifeguards during the Labor Day Weekend," said Division of Emergency Management Director Craig Fugate.
Marine interests should exercise caution when venturing from port and beachgoers should avoid entering the surf along the Atlantic and Gulf beaches on Sunday and Monday. Emergency Managers urge all residents and visitors to understand their limitations, be aware of rip currents, and learn how to get out of them safely.
Some important safety tips to keep in mind if you witness a person stranded in the water:
Ø Get help from a lifeguard.
Ø If a lifeguard is not available, have someone call 9-1-1.
Ø Throw the rip current victim something that floats--a lifejacket, a cooler, or an inflatable ball.
Ø Yell instructions on how to escape. The best method is to swim out of the current in a direction following the shoreline. When out of the current, swim at an angle--away from the current--towards shore.
Ø Remember, many people drown while trying to save someone else from a rip current.
"If red flag warnings are posted, play it safe and stay out of the water," added Director Fugate.

BlackBerry, which has suffered a deluge of customer defections over the past several years, has severed its ties with T-Mobile USA after a promotion in February caused unresolved tension.
In an email promotion, T-Mobile targeted BlackBerry users on its network that would allow them to switch from their device to an Apple iPhone for $0 down.
BlackBerry CEO John Chen responded with outrage at the time and now has announced that the company will not renew T-Mobile's license to sell its products when it expires on April 25. The move comes after years of the two companies working together.
Chen said in a statement that the two companies' strategies "are not complementary" but that he has hopes of working with T-Mobile again in the future.
T-Mobile had offered a second promotion offering BlackBerry users $200 in credit when they traded in their device for any new T-Mobile phone, a move that was successful for the carrier but even more embarrassing for BlackBerry, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"Wireless carriers have to strike a balance between providing customers choice and streamlining their portfolio," Recon Analytics founder and lead analyst Roger Entner said. "T-Mobile is choosing to streamline their portfolio and focus on the larger brands, whereas the other carriers seem to be more focused on providing customers choice and giving the Blackberry smartphone ecosphere more time to hopefully gain traction. The risk any carrier is taking when they discontinue a handset provider is that they might be seen to have 'blood on their hands' if that handset manufacturer dies."
While T-Mobile's sales of BlackBerry phones were only a drop in the bucket when compared to the Canada-based manufacturer's global sales, it comes in a market where BlackBerry can ill afford to lose more customers. The former Research In Motion has been playing catch-up to Apple and a bevy of Android manufacturers who have blown past it in both the consumer and business spaces, most notably in the U.S. and Western Europe, the most lucrative regions in the world.
"Like spouses that fight over a mother-in-law at family parties, this divorce was inevitable, noted Wally Swain, VP of research for Yankee Group, commenting on a Reuters article about the separation. "After T-Mobile's 'dump your BlackBerry' campaign and John Chen's vigorous defense of the brand, it was somewhere between imminent and eventual that the relationship would come to an end. They may have tried therapy, but it's more likely only the lawyers talked to each other. ... Call it irreconcilable differences. At least there were no children to fight over; not even a dog."

It's been so long since I've updated this blog and inevitability my views on things have changed. I have learned more or simply disagree based on a variety of possible reasons.
There are also some old posts that I'm just debating on whether I want them public...not like many people stuble upon my blog anyways though.
This has always been a space to rescule with ideas, debate, and even play devils advocate. And I created it as a place where I could speak freely, make a few mistakes along the way and learn.
I'm not sure that I want my personal name and art associated with everything I've posted in the past...well for now. My art site is more important so I'm leaving some junk up on here. One day I may return and clean this hoarders nest....

My shooting buddy has a friend that lent his brother a Colt "Commando" 38 spl Snubnose revolver,somehow the case got wet with the gun inside and wasn't noticed long enough for some surface rust and minor external pitting to develope.The gun was fully loaded,but they couldn't get the cylinder to release,it would rotate,but they couldn't move the release lever.
My buddy brought the gun to the gun range and fired all six rounds,then we sprayed it with some rust penetrant and still couldn't get the release to budge.I told him I would take it and see what I could do.After getting it home,I removed the side plate and found the release pin was rusted in place,more penetrating spray and I finally took a punch and light hammer and tapped the protruding part of the release pin until it finally broke free.
I had told my buddy I would clean it up best I could and then shoot it with KG Gunkote.After using blue and rust remover I now have about 10 hours of hand sanding involved in trying to remove all the pits,I still have probably 2 to 3 more hours to final sand and polish all the marks out before I can Shoot and Bake the new finish on it.Don't let this happen to you,Remove guns from the cases after taking them outside,I had a shiotgun in a case that I didn't realise had some drinking water spilt on the case that soaked thru,when I got home and pulled my shotgun out I could see the moisture on the barrel,next day it would have been surface rust

I am extremely new to this profession..........4 months out of school and I really don't know if I've made the right decision when it comes to my career. I've always wanted and loved doing hair and now that I am I feel that I'm not good at it!
First of all I don't feel like I got the proper training and second I really don't think I'm in the right salon. I wanted to be a hairstylist because I love doing hair not to make money for a billion dollar company. The salon I work for is more interested in the quantity of clients you get in your chair and not the quality of the haircut. I don't even section hair anymore!! How can you do a decent cut without sectioning.............YOU CAN'T! I feel like I'm becoming a "lazy hairdresser"...............you want a $15 haircut, you're getting a $15 haircut! My services aren't up to par with the other stylists, I mean some of them have been doing it for years I know and I it's going to take time for be to perfect my skills, but what happens when you feel like you don't have any skills? I don't feel like my cuts are "finished".....do you know what I mean? it seems like I stop cutting too soon but at the same time I feel like I've cut too much. I'm so confused. This isn't what I pictured my career to be.........and yes I know I've only been out of school for 4 months and I know it's going to take time but I just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
And don't even get me started on the clients!! When did it become acceptable to be completely rude to someone and you just have to take it?! I've been in situations where I was in the right and instead of my manager standing up for me, she bent down and kissed the clients' a.........feet. I understand that in this profession you have to take some flack, I mean we are dealing with someones' hair but there are exceptions to that rule and I truly don't believe the customer's always right........who came up with that anyway?!
I remember an instructor telling me that the first year's the hardest...........she wasn't kidding! I have to take a class in order to upgrade to my generals and I don't even want to do that.........I don't want real professionals to see what I can't do!
I just don't know if I was cut out for this line of work. You know when a celebrity puts out a cd and your first thought is 'what the hell are they thinkin, just because they love music doesn't mean that they can sing!'............that's kinda how I'm feeling, just because I love doing hair doesn't mean I should be a professional. I'm just so confused. I have absolutely no confidence in my abilities.
Well I think I've dumped enough on you tonight. Unfortunately I don't feel any better. Does every new hairdresser feel this way?
Dear stephanie021675,
I think that the short answer is to find a different job. All salon owners are not bullys and slave drivers.
Some salon owners actually care about their stylists. The stylists in the salon are how the salon makes money - no stylists - no money.
Find yourself a different (better) salon to work in.
Don't be scared of the practical exam! I should have failed it myself and I didn't...
and here I am 11 years later and doing really well, and loving what I do. It's tough starting out but if you stick with it youll always do ok. :)

Acting on the complaint of a Right to Information (RTI) activist, Election Commission (EC) has ordered probe into the allegation that Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) is running its district office from a temple, which is illegal as per the EC norms.
EC has written to the deputy commissioner, who is also district electoral officer to conduct a probe into the allegation of BJP's running its party office from the premises of Sheetla Mata Temple in Mai Heera Gate area, sources told HT.
A local Congress leader and RTI activist Sanjay Sehgal in his complaint to EC alleged that the BJP was running its office from a religious place which is illegal as per the EC norms.
With an order of Inquiry, EC had also sent the relevant provisions of the Religious Institutions (Prevention of Misuse) Act 1988 which prohibits any political activity to use any religious premises and provides imprisonment till five years in case of violation of the law.
The EC had also sent a copy of a letter it wrote to chief electoral officers of all states on July 27, 2012 citing sections 3, 5 and 6 of the Religious Institutions Act and asking them to ensure that violations were dealt with firmly.
When contacted, district president of BJP, Subhash Sood denied that the premises in which the BJP office is situated is part of the temple.
"Yes, main entrance of temple and BJP office is same, but the premises in which office is situated is not part of the temple", Sood told HT adding that the office has been running in the same premises since 1962.
Meanwhile, Section 5 of the Religious Institutions (Prevention of Misuse) Act 1988 states, "No religious institution of manager thereof shall use or allow the use of any funds or other properties belonging to, or under the control of, the institution for the benefit of any political party or for the purpose of any political activity or for the commission of any act which is punishable as an offence under the law".

LNT looks to store initiatives after dismal 1Q report
April 23, 2003,
Clifton, NJ — Hammered by weak sales, a war with Iraq and a late Easter — and having paid a $1.3 million severance package to departed president Steven Silverstein — first-quarter profits at Linens 'n Things tumbled by 59.6 percent, to $2.1 million from $5.1 million last year.
Pummeled by bad weather, the CNN effect, and broadly sluggish consumer spending, sales gained just 5.2 percent, despite continued expansion, to $480.5 million from $456.9 million during the same period a year ago. The crucial gauge of same-store sales fell by 3.2 percent.
The company will add 30 to 40 stores per quarter to the ownership program during the second and third quarters. Although the ownership stores overall are performing better then the chain, LNT also added more field level support to train and develop store managers.
"This is clearly a long-term initiative that will take time to fully implement," Axelrod said. "There's still some inconsistency. We're seeing very big increases in some stores and moderate increases in others."
The company's linens business remains weaker than its "things" business, said cfo Bill Giles. However, management believes that expansion of its program to assortment regionally combined with upcoming introductions of new merchandise from Waverly and Nautica will help address the problem.
The average transaction rose in the first quarter after previously trending flat, Gils said. The gain came from more purchases of higher price point items rather than additional units added to the basket.
Providing some relief to the bottom line, the superstore chain bulked up its average gross margin by 140 basis points, or 1.4 percentage points, to 41.4 percent from 39.7 percent a year ago.
But hit by falling sales and the severance package to Silverstein, operating costs climbed sharply, by 270 basis points, or 2.7 percentage points, to 40.4 percent of sales from 37.7 percent the prior year. But even without the $1.3 million severance package, costs would have amounted to 40.1 percent of sales, up from 37.7 percent last year.

text: Gospel legend Mavis Staples follows her critically acclaimed 2007 Ry Cooder produced album, We'll Never Turn Back, with another compelling effort produced by a rock star with roots credibility. With Wilco mastermind Jeff Tweedy deftly handling production duties, You Are Not Alone never strays from its "you can pull through" message, but it manages to do so without seeming preachy or trite. Staples' voice has aged remarkably well, and the rasps and crackles come in all the right places, especially on the Tweedy-penned title track and the bluesy "Last Train." Despite reaching her eighth decade, Staples is making music that is strikingly modern, but the defining concept of the album is timeless: unadulterated hope.
