Whole Earth Discipline: Why Dense Cities, Nuclear Power, Transgenic Crops,… (original 2009; edition 2010)
by Stewart Brand
Work details
Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto by Stewart Brand (2009)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Clearly and engagingly written, scientifically reasoned and supported. Should be required reading for any scientific citizen of the world. Excellent antidote to bullshit.
"Whole Earth Discipline" outlines the past, present and future developments of the environmental movement. It specifically focuses on what technologies and practices need to be adopted in order for humanity to survive climate change and its next billion citizens. The book finds Brand at his finest; not only does he bring his usual depth of scholarship and brevity of prose but, as he says early on, this time it's personal. Brand also relates, in bits and pieces, his own successes and failures as a figurehead of the greens since the 1970s.
"Whole Earth Discipline" is about solutions, not problems. As such, it skips over proclamations of climate doom or political gridlock; most of its time is spent discussing how science and engineering might just give us a shot at surviving the next century... maybe. And as such, it's essential reading for us all.
I loved this book for a lot of reasons, but perhaps the thing I loved best about it is how Brand examined his convictions and compared them to the latest and best factual evidence he could find and changed his mind. And that's what science means to me, that continual re-evaluation of things we think we know. The ability to change one's belief system so profoundly at Brand's age is a thing of beauty, and I admire him for it.
I found the subjects he covers in this book to be very interesting. His arguments are convincing. I was already pretty pro-gene manipulation before reading this, but I had retained my knee-jerk 1970s ere bias against nuclear power. It's one of those perception bending books. No doubt some of Brand's positions will need to be re-thought in the future, but he's up for that. I had never really thought about cities and how they work, so that part was fresh for me, too.
I loved the concept that we really don't need to plan for things that last a thousand thousand years (nuclear waste storage, f'rinstance), but rather we should trust future generations a little more. We need to come up with a perfectly safe and doable hundred year plan, and let engineers engineer new and better solutions between now and then. Technology will step up to that plate. It's hubris to think that we know better than our children's children's children will.
The more you know, the less you fear. Highly recommended.
A man after my own heart. I'd love to chomp down on GM vegie burgers while working the controls of a nuclear power station. No, no sarcasm: I really do think that Stewart is on the right path here. He flays various environmental organisations for their backward views and shows them to be packed full of pathetically irrational and hypocritical ideologues.
Ambientalismo pragmatico e contro i luoghi comuni per uscire dalla fase ideologica dell'ecologismo conservatore ed inaugurare una nuova fase, quella dell'antropocene consapevole e responsabile.
Disponibile anche nella traduzione italiana per Codice Edizioni

Another fabulous but long day. 6:30 wake up call, 7:00 bags out and 8:00 on the coach. We had a muffin and banana in our room. Traveled to Springhill. Anne Murray's hometown and went into her museum. There was everything there from her baby pictures, report cards, family pictures through to magazine articles she was in, awards, clothing worn to her awards and song charts. A nice tribute to her.

Today was a rest day but we had to work a bit to get to our rest spot. We mounted the bikes on top of the truck last night to save time in the morning. The tents started coming down at 5 am and we started walking to the ferry before sun up. The ferry trip across the Bay of Fundy was smooth under clear skies. It was noted that the bay has some of the roughest waters in the world when the tide competes with the wind. Once on land we took a cab to Rockwood campground that is in the middle of a natural/rock area in greater Saint John. This park...Jump to full entry

It rained – again but we decided to go to St. John anyway and luckily it cleared up while we were there. St. John, New Brunswick is a large city situated on the Bay of Fundy.

We had a terrific dinner and enjoyed watching people canoeing on Lily Lake. Today we had a wonderful bus trip through the city. The bus driver gave us a lot of history about cemeteries, 200 year old houses, and a tower built during the War of 1812. There was a huge cruise ship in port, and we went to Reversing Falls.

There are only 21 of us, but we get to be with everyone and have a great time. We went to the Reversing Falls which is considered both a spectacular event and natural phenomenon.

Another beautiful and fun day in New Brunswick! Dan and I got off to a rough start, though, as we got lost on our way to the Jet Boat tour. I was driving, and took the wrong exit on one of the highways, causing us to go about eight miles out of our way before we realized our mistake. Then I took another wrong turn trying to get turned around and ended up on a smaller road that runs parallel with the highway. This would have been a nice, scenic alternative, but NOT when we were rushing to get to our tour boat! We made it with what we thought...Jump to full entry

Hundreds of millions of years ago, continents collided, forming the gorge through which the St. John River flows.

When we left Hermon, Maine around 11:00am headed to Saint John, New Brunswick, it was sunny. But as the day wore on and the elevation climbed, it became overcast and foggy. It was still a pleasant drive along Rt. 9 to the Canadian border. We thought we would be questioned about the apples we picked in New Hampshire when we got to the border, so Cindy spent last night making applesauce in her crockpot from the apples we still had left.

Jezebel's Daughter HTML version
Chapter I.11
There was something so absurd in the association of Madame Fontaine's charms with the
extinction of Mr. Engelman's pipe, that I burst out laughing. My good old friend looked
at me in grave surprise.
"What is there to laugh at in my forgetting to keep my pipe alight?" he asked. "My whole
mind, David, was absorbed in that magnificent woman the instant I set eyes on her. The
image of her is before me at this moment--an image of an angel in moonlight. Am I
speaking poetically for the first time in my life? I shouldn't wonder. I really don't know
what is the matter with me. You are a young man, and perhaps you can tell. Have I fallen
in love, as the saying is?" He took me confidentially by the arm, before I could answer
this formidable question. "Don't tell friend Keller!" he said, with a sudden outburst of
alarm. "Keller is an excellent man, but he has no mercy on sinners. I say, David! couldn't
you introduce me to her?"
Still haunted by the fear that I had spoken too unreservedly during my interview with the
widow, I was in the right humor to exhibit extraordinary prudence in my intercourse with
Mr. Engelman.
"I couldn't venture to introduce you," I said; "the lady is living here in the strictest
"At any rate, you can tell me her name," pleaded Mr. Engelman. "I dare say you have
mentioned it to Keller?"
"I have done nothing of the sort. I have reasons for saying nothing about the lady to Mr.
Well, you can trust me to keep the secret, David. Come! I only want to send her some
flowers from my garden. She can't object to that. Tell me where I am to send my
nosegay, there's a dear fellow."
I dare say I did wrong--indeed, judging by later events, I know I did wrong. But I could
not view the affair seriously enough to hold out against Mr. Engelman in the matter of the
nosegay. He started when I mentioned the widow's name.
"Not the mother of the girl whom Fritz wants to marry?" he exclaimed.
"Yes, the same. Don't you admire Fritz's taste? Isn't Miss Minna a charming girl?"
"I can't say, David. I was bewitched--I had no eyes for anybody but her mother. Do you
think Madame Fontaine noticed me?"
"Oh, yes. I saw her look at you."

3. [kid's poem, inspired by "The Owl and the Pussycat"]
The Sun and Moon
went out on a date
under the evening stars
The Sun and Moon
stayed out late,
the Moon wore a ring of pearls.
The Sun and Moon
shared a kiss
The sparks lit up the night
The Sun and Moon

4. [gothic poem]
I do not like
'the hungry ghost

the already past.
Who drools with vengeance
for us living souls
and never, no never,
can ever let go.
I do not like
the hungry ghost.
5. [Children's poem for comfort]
I like my angel
He's light on his wings
and when he levitates
it's fun to see
I take his hand
and pull him along
as if I'm toting
a low flying cloud.
He's like a shadow
but much more substance.
He's like a brother
but one divine.
He's like a friend
from another country,
or like a voice
from the choir.
He's like a pet
that we live for.
He's like a window.
He's like a door.
He's like a song
we sing all day.
He's like a fragrance
that gently stays.
He's like a present
that someone gave.
That no one can ever
take away.
I like my angel
He's light on his wings.
And when he rises up
it please me.
This song goes faster than my fingers!

The trial of the case relating to the gang-rape of a photojournalist will be held in a fast-track court and the charge sheet will be filed in a "very short time", Maharashtra home minister RR Patil said on Friday.
"We will file the chargesheet against the accused in a very short time. We will take the case so seriously that I assure no such incident occurs again," Patil told a delegation of journalists' associations in Mumbai.
"We have names and photographs of all the accused," the minister said.
The government has decided to conduct the trial in a fast track court, he said. "The family members of the victim can choose special public prosecutors for the trial," he said.
One of the accused was nabbed with the help of sketches released by the police, Patil said. The other accused would be arrested soon, he added.
A forensic team has got crucial evidence from the spot which will help establish the crime, he said.
A circular will be issued in a week to enable women journalists to seek help from the nearest police station when they are on assignments, in case they have any suspicion about that particular area, he said.

MTV 'Skins' Losing Advertising Support
Skins… you know, the show that premiered after the Jersey Shore extra episode last week in hopes of riding best selling author Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi poof train of success? C'mon, you know the show that MTV squeezed in right behind the Jersey Shore in hopes that the 8.45 million overly tanned fist pumpers knew no better and continued to watch the show that looks as confused as these two underaged males in bed together?
PHOTOS: Who Is Buying Snooki's Book?
Ugh, it's ok. I changed the channel, too. Once the DJ Pauly D blow out is gone, so am I.
And so is Subway, according to Reuters. Subway is the fifth advertiser to pull their ads from the controversial series after a campaign by parents TV watchdog, which called for the U.S. government to open a child pornography investigation into the show, because it involves under aged teens engaging in sexually explicit behavior.
"A representative for Subway told The Hollywood Reporter the company would not be running its ads on Monday's second episode of the drama series about misfit teens who dabble in drink, drugs and sex," said Reuters.
MTV declined to comment about specific advertisers, but insisted they're "confident that Skins will continue to connect with the audience it was created for and that advertisers will take advantage of the opportunity to reach them." I.E. not everyone can make the big bucks for doing nothing, so we welcome the free controversial publicity.

Kevin Garnett did not play Friday night against the Hawks, as he's still experiencing soreness in his knee. The Celtics aren't the same team without Kevin Garnett, but the way Glen Davis is playing in KG's absence has some hoping KG will just sit out until he's 100% healthy.
Davis finished with 19 points and career-high 12 rebounds to help lead the Celtics to a 99-93 on the road over the Hawks. The win proved that the Celtics can win without Kevin Garnett, but also reinforced that the Celtics could beat a quality team like Atlanta (42-31) on the road.
The Hawks were looking to take advantage of KG's absence by going with their big lineup. Coach Mike Woodson moved Al Horford (6'10") from center to power forward, and inserted Zaza Pachulia (6'11") at center. Pachulia finished with seven points and two rebounds in 20 minutes. Pachulia also registered a -17 ranking, meaning for all the time he was on the floor, the Celtics outscored the Hawks by 17 points. Yikes…
With Garnett, Leon Powe, and Brian Scalabrine out, Big Baby and Mikki Moore saw increased minutes. Moore, a defensive liability in my eyes, has played decent while filling in. He finished with two points and 10 rebounds in his 31 minutes.
Ray Allen led the Celtics with a team-high 22 points and Paul Pierce added 21 points in the win. Rajon Rondo, who was a game-time decision, had totals of nine points and five assists in 26 minutes.
Stephon Marbury had possibly his best game as a Celtic, scoring 11 points on 4-5 shooting with two assists in 17 minutes of floor time.
The Celts are off Saturday and have an easy game against the Thunder on Sunday.

Making jam at home is a wonderful way to keep a little bit of summer in the kitchen throughout the year. Look for low cost fruit in your back yard, at U-Pick farms, farmer's markets or sales at your local grocery store.
|12 Cup (192 tbs) (any fresh fruit can be used)
|Low sugar pectin
|1 Packet (containing 1/2
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Lemon juice
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|White grape juice
|4 Cup (64 tbs)
|Agave nectar
|2 Tablespoon (Leveled) (Optional)
1. Put the plate in the fridge.
1. Fill the canning pot about 1/3 - 1/2 full with water, add the rack insert, put on the lid and set the water on to boil.
2. The low sugar pectin package should come with two pouches of powder - the small one is calcium and the large one is pectin. Using the small jar with the lid, add 1/2 teaspoon of calcium powder to 1/2 cup of water, screw on the lid and shake to dissolve.
3. Wash and de-stem or pit the fruit. Measure about 12 cups of fruit into the large pot. Turn it on medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Use the potato masher to squish the berries up.
4. In the mean time, put the jars into the canning pot and boil them to sterilize them for about 10 minutes. You may need to do this in two batches. Put the lids in the bowl that can hold boiling water and cover with boiling water. Set aside.
5. In the smaller pot, bring the fruit juice to a boil and then pour it into the blender. Add 8 teaspoons of pectin powder. Blend for 1-2 minutes, or until the pectin is well blended. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides.
6. Use the tongs to pull the jars out of the boiling water. Drain and have them ready.
7. Add the lemon juice to the cooking fruit. Shake the jar with the dissolved calcium powder and add 8 teaspoons of the water to the fruit.
8. Pour the fruit juice-pectin mixture into the hot fruit. Bring it to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Taste the jam and add some agave nectar if you want it a little sweeter. Just a warning: fruit sweetened jam isn't nearly as sweet as what you may be used to.
9. Test the jam to make sure it will gel. Pull the plate out of the fridge. Use the spoon to put a dab of jam on the plate and return it to the fridge. If it sets, then you're set! Low-sugar jam doesn't fully set until it is completely cooled.
10. Insert the funnel into a clean jar. Ladle the jam in to about 1/4 inch from the rim. Use the towel to wipe away any drips around the rim – it has to be clean for the seal to work. Put a lid on and screw on the top. It should be tight, but not so tight you can't unscrew it.
11. Prop the rack insert up on the rim of the canning pot. Place the jars in the rack and carefully lower the insert into the boiling water. The jars should be completely covered with water. Put on the lid and let them boil for 10 minutes at sea level, adding 1 minute for each 1000 feet of altitude.
12. Remove the jars by pulling the insert up and grabbing each jar with tongs. Let them cool. You'll know when they are sealed when you hear a little "ping" noise. You can also test by pressing on the middle of the lids: if they stay put when you press on them, they are sealed.
13. You can serve the jam with toast or muffins or just about any dish of your choice.

Web 2.0 technologies provide school administrators the opportunity to offer teachers meaningful professional development. The purpose of the qualitative case study was to investigate ways in which U.S. K-12 public school teachers who participated in weekly Twitter Edchat discussions perceived the use of a social network site for professional development. The research design was a qualitative embedded case study that included 17 U.S. K-12 public school teachers who participated in at least two weekly Twitter discussions over 3 consecutive months. Study participants' work experience ranged from 1-36 years. Data collection included a review of the literature, pilot study, semi-structured interviews, and participants' archived online posts. Regardless of teachers' feelings toward their workplace, participants believed participation promoted sense of belonging and positive attitudes toward teaching. Study findings included teachers' perceptions of the technical benefits and drawbacks related to using a social network site for professional development. Findings for this study included the digital habitat for teacher professional development and social network sites model, a guide for educational leaders in understanding how and why a social network site may support teacher professional development.

In the September/October 2007 issue of Principal magazine, authors Richard P. Lipka and Thomas M. Brinthaupt argue in their Speaking Out article that schools should think twice before implementing laptops—or other technology—in the classroom. The authors describe the downside of introducing technology into schools, such as hidden costs, operational malfunctions, and managing students' differing technological knowledge.
What problems has your school faced in integrating computers and other emerging technology in classrooms? Do they do more harm than good to the school in the long run?
re: Computers in the Classroom
I really enjoyed this article. I am a technology coordinator for our K-12 school as well as the Elementary Administrator.
Although the article is certainly written in an "overstated" manner, there are a lot of truths to their comments.
If a school only looks at the cost for the actual "hardware", then they have more than likely set themselves up for failure.
Tech support is key. I am not talking about the tech support you call for on the phone. The number of professional staff needed to support a school district's technology is very often under estimated. The Minot Public Schools is an excellent example of how to do technology right.
Another key is staff ONGOING training. Too often the latest gadget is purchases without thought or care to whether or not a teacher wanted it or has any idea how to implement it into the curriculum.
Technology should only be one of many tools for delivering curriculum.
re: Computers in the Classroom
I feel there are many positives to implemeting computers in the classroom, but of course there are some negatives. When I was in high school, my biggest problem with using computers is that teachers were inadaquate to use it in their lessons. Instead of reinforcing what we were learning, it was taking away from what we were to learn. It was though they were doing the "computer thing" just to do and feel good about teaching with a variety of methods. It is of course also hard to keep students focused and on task. It is nearly impossible to keep everyone off the internet checking their email or playing games instead of doing what they should. And then there are technological issues every now and then. Say you have a whole lesson planned and you get your class to the computer lab and the system is down. What a pain and waste of time! Although these things do not always happen and are probable fixable, they are problems I have encountered when using technology in education. I do feel the pros do outway the cons though and implementing computers and technology into the everyday classroom is worth while and beneficial.
re: Computers in the Classroom
I also agree that there are many positives to implementing more computers into the classrom. However, there are also a few negatives that need to be addressed prior to implementation. One such factor is the staff training, and maintaining of staff training. Too often are teachers given new products or new systems, and after one session are expected to be experts. Also, a variety of programs should be purchased by the district as well to increase student achievement and to differentiate instruction. Districts are trying to incorporate more technology into their schools, but I must agree with the Speaking Out article, that at times, once a district gets in gear and persues new software, the software is already outdated. I would like to see elementary schools incorporate more technology into their curriculum. I do believe that education is moving in the right direction by providing students with more technology access than there was in the past, especially with the usage of Smart Boards, blogs, and GPS systems.
re: Computers in the Classroom
I am a big fan of technology either in the classroom or in my livingroom. The world is changing whether we are ready for it or not and technology plays a big part in it. With the new use of Smartboards and mobile laptops students can have information at thier fingertips in a matter of seconds. As a former elementary teacher, often times discussions would arise where students were left with questions. With the use of a Smartboard it was wonderful doing a quick Google search on the topic we were discussing. Bringing life into the classroom in the form of multimedia is something some students will never have the oppotunity to experience.
Obviously with every positive comes a negative. Technology is expensive and those costs limit schools in what they can provide. What is worse is the initial cost is not always the final bill that needs to be paid. Upgrades and troubleshooting can be very expensive. In the longrun I believe it is necessary and vital for the increasing achievement levels we are expecting in our students. Without the use of technology we are just limiting their potential.

Arizona State University Censoring Online Petition Site
Though officials at Arizona State University claim that they are blocking access to Change.org, the popular online petition site, because it was found to be a source of spam e-mails, students point to a notable coincidence: Change.org is also currently hosting a petition calling on the university to decrease the cost of tuition.
After Arizona State University student Eric Haywood used Change.org to circulate a petition called, "Arizona State University: Reduce The Costs Of Education For Arizona State University Students," the university began blocking e-mails from the site.
"Although the individual who sent the email may not consider himself a spammer, he acquired a significant number of ASU email addresses, which he used to send unsolicited, unwanted email, which is the definition of spam," ASU spokeswoman Julie Newberg told the Downtown Devil.
But now, the university is reportedly blocking the entire site.
Free Press, a media reform organization, has taken up the cause and is calling on the university to reinstate access to the site immediately.
Josh Levy, the group's internet campaigns director, writes:
The fact is, disabling access to any lawful site violates the spirit and principles of Net Neutrality, chills academic freedom and possibly rises to the level of a First Amendment violation. It's astonishing that ASU President Michael M. Crow would allow this to happen -- and that's why Free Press and Change.org are urging him to stop his school's censorship immediately.

Chinese consumers favor HTC phones less in Sept.: brokerage
CNA Monday, October 22, 2012, 12:40 am TWN
TAIPEI--Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC Corp. generated a lower level of interest among Chinese consumers in September, amid the rising popularity of local Chinese brands, according to U.S. brokerage Morgan Stanley.
Taiwan's HTC Corp. ranked third in September with interest levels pegged at 9.3 percent, after having slid from the second place and interest levels of 10.8 percent in August, the brokerage said in a recent report.
Other major international smartphone brands were also facing similar problems as consumers' interest levels in China's local brands — led by Lenovo Group — rose to a combined share of 29.5 percent in China's smartphone market in September, from 27.6 percent in August, Morgan Stanley said.
South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. retained its top position in rankings but consumer interest in its products slipped from 20.4 percent to 19.4 percent, Morgan Stanley noted.
However, Apple Inc. was an exception as interest levels in iPhone jumped 4.6 percentage points to 12.1 percent in September, thanks to the launch of the iPhone 5 and price cuts imposed on legacy models, Jasmine Lu, a Morgan Stanley analyst in Hong Kong, wrote in the report.
She believed that this indicated a gain in share for the iPhone 5, even though it was unlikely to be available in China before the end of the fourth quarter of this year.
China's Lenovo ranked fourth on the interest level scale with an 8.2 percent share, up from 7.3 percent in August, while Xiaomi Technology rose from 3.6 percent to 4.4 percent and ZTE Corp. from 3 percent to 3.6 percent.
Among Chinese local brands, Morgan Stanley expects mainstream models to stay in the 1,000 to 2,000 Chinese yuan (US$160 to US$320) price bracket, beating global brands such as Sony Corp. and Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. on competitive pricing, performance and marketing time.
"In our view, the market trends bode well for improved user experience from local brands," Lu said.
"This includes thinner designs, over 4-inch displays and 8-megapixel cameras, suggesting that those companies are trying to narrow the quality gap between themselves and global players," she said.
However, China's local brands are still facing challenges, such as shortening product cycles and highly fragmented competition, which might pressure average selling prices and margins, especially for those companies that lacked scale and differentiated business models, Lu said.

As a firearms retailer, how you conduct the business of transferring a legal firearm to a qualified buyer can change in the blink of an eye. New regulations get passed, new controls get put in place—and that makes negotiating the Federal Form 4473 a challenge at times.
It's a challenge to keep up with new changes in laws and regulations, but it's imperative that retailers do. Otherwise, you're guaranteed to fall behind—or worse.
This is why the NSSF recommends retailers—old, new, and especially those thinking about becoming FFL holders and retailers—participate in one of its many Firearm Retailer Seminars held throughout the year and across the country. In these seminars, you'll sit side by side with fellow retailers from your region and learn from high-ranking ATF officials how to keep your business running squeaky clean and on the legal high road. Vital information provided in these five-hour sessions includes:
- Error-proofing your 4473
- Straw purchase detection
- Gun show sales
- NICS background check process
- Conducting an accurate firearms inventory
Each seminar concludes with a lively question-and-answer discussion, one that leaves most attendees saying, "I didn't know that! Glad I was here!" It's a unique opportunity to have all your questions answered.
The NSSF's Retailer Education Seminars are completely free to our Members. Non-members will pay just $100 to attend—with our memberships starting at $75, if you're not a member, then joining really becomes a "win-win" once you walk through the seminar doors. So join us, won't you? The NSSF's mission is to "promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports"—Retailer Education Seminars are just one way we make that happen.

BeschreibungCombles lies on the eastern edge of the Somme battlefield. It was elaborately fortified by the Germans, utilizing the extensive catacombs and cellars of the town's church and chateau. The position was anchored on either side by Faffemont Farm and Leuze Woods, site of the grave of Cedric Dickens, grandson of Charles.Stoutly defended by the Germans, among them the author Ernst Junger, the British captured the position in September, 1917. Subsequently used as a railway depot by the British, the approaches to the town were concealed by a series of long canvas screens. These screens are depicted in one of the most famous paintings of the First World War, Sir William Orpen's The Great Camouflage, Combles.In familiar Battleground Europe style, all of the units, personalities and events of the 1916, 1917 and 1918 battles at Combles are covered in full detail, with numerous charts and maps. Also included is a guide to the battlefield and local accommodations as they exist today, and an extensive guide for further reading.

And a week ago, the east coast was warmer than AZ. Crazy winter! Stay warm sisters!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
And a week ago, the east coast was warmer than AZ. Crazy winter! Stay warm sisters!
I feel for you. We just to live in northern IL. 70 miles NW of Chicago. I remember one year the wind chill factor was 78 degrees. Brrr! Try to stay warm. Will sent heat wave thoughts to all of you in the freezing weather.
It was -37 when I looked this morning at about 7. Never did see about 0 all day. Good for sewing and getting other things done inside.
It was seven last night. Turnd the heat down to 65 took all day to get to 69. Told my dh im a quilter, use one.
Life is what you make of it
So laugh until you cry
Sing your lifesong joyfully
And teach yourself to fly
Boy,all those freezing temps remind me why we moved to Florida. Today it was 65-70. Was a bit nippy for driving topless, but did it anyways. It's 58 tonight and the windows are open. Feels good compared to the 90's and humid in the long summer months.
well it was 79 degrees here today in Texas! We haven't had a freeze yet, just a frost one night. We go to NM or No. TX if we want to be in the snow, but driving in it is not good. Especially since we don't know how to drive in that weather. If it snows in TX, all the schools and a lot of businesses, courthouse, etc. close.
It was about zero degrees F here (Massachusetts) this morning and the power went out. I was apparently the only one home in the neighborhood because nobody else called it in. Now I read that there were scattered outages throughout the region. The house was down to 62 from 72 F by the time power, and the blower for the furnace, was restored. I hid under a pile of quilts until then.
This evening a friend came over to quilt. I had turned on an oil-filled space heater several hours earlier in my basement sewing room. There is also heat from the furnace in the room. Still, it was mighty darn cold, with it being 7 degrees outside and -5 F wind chill. Do you know that packaged batting in front of basement windows blocks cold drafts? I also have a quilt hanging over my bedroom window and it makes a difference. Think quilts instead of curtains for this cold weather, fellow quilters!
Sure do wish I had a wood stove!

These are guardian spirits of Hawaiian myth. They take the form of any creature but most commonly they appear as owls, sharks, turtles, lizards, hawks or a snake. The form they take depends on the family that the Aumakua comes from. It is said that the Amakua live by their own laws. They spend most of their time acting as guardians of the living and watch over them with care. The Aumakau were not always an Aumakua, they were once a member of the family which it now guards.When a family member died, if the family,or the deceased wished to become a Aumakua, the family would perform a ritual on the deceased's body so their spirit could become an Aumakua and watch over the family.
It is possible for their offspring to be born into mortal families. These children have supernatural powers. The Aumakua are responsible for taking the souls into the afterlife. It is said that on the first stop of the journey into the afterlife it is possible to confess your sins to the Aumakua and enter the heavens.

Sentinel field services Sfsco.net, Utah sentinel group, Jeff Parker Lies, lies, lies! Layton Utah
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Before closing on our house we paid sentinel to dewinterize the house so we could pay a inspector to come in and tell us if the plumbing was okay, the water heater, furnace, if there were leaks in the bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, etc.
unfortunately, sentinel did a crappy job and broke pieces so when the water was turned on it was spraying and leaking in three separate rooms, so I paid the inspector and sentinel for nothing. When we contacted sentinel, they told us they would investigate the situation. The person I dealt with is Jeff Parker, he was nearly impossible to get ahold of, gave me the run around, we emailed him, called, texted, he eventually told us that it would either be fixed before we closed, or we would receive a $500 credit at the closing of our home to hire someone to fix it. Lies! at closing we received nothing. So we are out the money we paid sentinel, out the money we paid the inspector, out the money to repair. But also, they were supposed to manage this property. The grass was never cut, there was water never cleaned up in the basement, the place was a mess. I'm not sure if they were in charge of the lead abatement, but that was a mess as well. Terrible to deal with. I'm now moving into a home with no running water yet, this should a of been fixemover a month ago!

Tom Brady, You've Had So Many Hair Styles! Will You Settle On One?
Tom Brady's constantly changing up his hair look– check out how long it is now!
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 33, sure likes to keep things interesting in the hair department! He's definitely mixed it up a lot since meeting his wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 30, so we're thinking it must be her influence! (After all, she was definitely the one who pushed his Bieber cut last year!)
Tom's been sporting a ponytail while he's in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for Carnival– his hair's gotten so long that he's taken to pulling it back! He's there supporting his wife, who was the featured performer for the Carnival samba club Vila Isabel on Mar. 7.
Tom is such a supportive husband that we'll give him a hall pass on his wacky hairstyle. But Tom, we think it's time for a cut! Maybe you'll try the new Bieber 'do?
Which Tom hair do YOU like the best? Take a look at the gallery and let us know in our poll below!

Kimchi Fried Rice
Kimchi Fried Rice – the easiest and best fried rice made with Korean kimchi. Spicy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. Dinner takes 15 mins.
Originally published in June 2011, updated with new photos.
My good friend J is a half Korean and she always makes homemade kimchi. Mr. Rasa Malaysia and I love kimchi and whenever J brings over her kimchi, I always make kimchi fried rice, which is easily one of the most delicious fried rice recipes ever!
Kimchi fried rice is a popular Korean recipe and it takes practically 15 minutes to make. It calls for a few basic ingredients: kimchi, overnight steamed rice, and egg. The egg is always fried separately and served on top of the kimchi fried rice but most of the time, I just love it plain with just kimchi and rice. It's delicious as is, mouthwatering and appetizing.
As kimchi is somewhat wet, remember to squeeze the juice out of the kimchi before you make the fried rice. I like my fried rice toasty and somewhat dry, not wet. The reddish color and the pungent kimchi aromas beckon whenever I cook the dish. Dinner will always be good when I have a serving of kimchi fried rice. Serve it with spicy Korean chicken and you have a complete meal.

1. Re: Nook tablet: Netflix error message 1006yo_gdawg Oct 20, 2012 12:36 PM (in response to yo_gdawg)
I solved my own problem! I went to Netflix customer support and they have error 1006 registered as an ISP problem. I changed the channel on my router and did a few other things to now avail. Then I got on the Nook helpline and erased and reregistered my device. Now Netflix appears to be working again. I still don't know what the problem was, but for now it is working.
2. SOLVED: Netflix error message 1006astropilot Nov 3, 2012 8:08 AM (in response to yo_gdawg)
I did this too with chat support and it worked.
We first tried "resetting the programs". This was done by going to "Apps" and checking for updates. When that screen came up, I then held down the power button until the thing turned off (ignoring the prompt about powering off). This didn't work.
Then, went on to deregister and re-register the device. This will delete any downloaded material or side loaded material you have (I alswo took out my microSD card per the IT support's recs), but not any of the books purchased through Nook. Went to Settings, then Device Info, then Deregister.
Took about 5 mins top reset, afterwhich, re-registered, setup wifi, and then logged into Netflix.
Problem solved.
Thanks for the info.

If Arsène Wenger decides to snap up Tresor Mputu it will be a long-term investment rather than a short-term fix.
The African striker was top scorer in his continent's Champions League and has scored five goals in 10 appearances for the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mputu impressed during a trial at Arsenal last month and Wenger is considering whether to add the 20-year-old to his squad.
However, the Frenchman does not expect Mputu to be ready for Premier League football until next season.
"He [Mputu] has qualities, but he has never played in Europe," said Wenger at his pre-match press conference. "In the middle of a season, to buy a guy from Congo and think he will give you something more is a little bit optimistic.
"Maybe we'll pursue it, but it will be on a six to seven-month plan, you know, you get the guy in to adapt, and then we'll see how well he does."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

He has opened for Cloud Cult, Devotchka, The Flobots, Sage Francis Gil Scott Heron, NPR's Amy Goodman, and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Yusef Komunyakaa. Tony Hoagland has published eight collections of poetry, most recently Donkey Gospel, What Narcissism Means to Me, and Unincorporated Persons in the Late Honda Dynasty. Winner of the Mark Twain Award and the Jackson Prize, he teaches at the University of Houston and in the Warren Wilson MFA program. J. Patrick Lewis is the author of more than 50 books of poetry, and was named Children's Poet Laureate in May 2011. Before retiring in 1998, Lewis taught economics at Otterbein College in Ohio. Agustina Woodgate is a Miami interdisciplinary artist who creates objects, installations, performances, and projects that focus on the interplay between human beings and their surroundings. As part of the 2011 O, Miami Poetry Festival, Woodgate took to poetry bombing: she sewed verse by Sylvia Plath and Li Po into clothes in Miami-area thrift stores. Mary Zimmerman has worked with Lookingglass Theatre Company and the Goodman Theatre, where she has adapted and directed acclaimed versions of The Odyssey, Metamorphoses, and Journey to the West, among other works. The recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and a Tony Award, she is professor of performance studies at Northwestern University.

Oh, delicious spam! How I love you so! I want to spread you on sandwiches and lick the knife clean! Oh Yum!
Or not. I've never tasted the edible variety of spam, but like everyone else online I've had my fair share of spam emails, comments and blogs.
This is the real spam, made by Hormel. I spotted it in a store in San Francisco and snapped a quick shot of the aisle. Unfortunately the light was bad but, if you've never come across it before, it's a novelty worth posting, right?
Current spam stats:
1. Inphotos: 8510
2. Holy Shmoly!: 21689
3. Gmail: 2176
Spam is here to stay.
A strange multi-coloured bus waiting at the lights in downtown San Francisco last summer.
Yes, those are horns on the roof. Does anyone know anything about it? A search for "EFT 922", it's registration plate, turns up nothing useful.
A huge advertisement for Stolichnaya Russian Vodka on the side of a building near Union Square in San Francisco. It proudly stats, "Choose Authenticity".
This is the sight that greeted me on my first night in the city!
A water main on the street in San Francisco while Automattic waited to go into a restaurant.
I think that's Matt in the background, but it might have been Alex too.

Are you comfortable sir? Please sit down and the lift will descend in a moment.
A chair sits in a service lift on the sidewalk outside my hotel in San Francisco. The chair looked so out of place in the urban environment I had to shoot it!

Product Description
Hogue Rubber slip-on wrap-around grips to go over your Bond extended grip.
In stock
Hogue Rubber slip-on wrap-around grips to go over your Bond extended grip.
Shannon Combs (verified owner) – :
I purchased the Hogue for my Bond Arms Texas Defender and love it. After installing the sleeve it felt like a totally new grip. I have the stock extended grip on the gun and here in Texas it's hot. Perspiration makes the grip slick. But with the Hogue slip on sleeve it feels secure in my hand. The WD-40 method I found was the easiest way to apply the grip. I recommend this slip on sleeve to anyone who just can't spend the $60 dollars on the all rubber extended grip. Wrap you grip and get that "made for your hand secure feeling" You will be glad you did.
C. Aulette (verified owner) – :
You can't beat the price so I added it to the cart when I bought my extended full size rubber grip. The WD-40 technique works best in trying to put them on, I also notices that you can put them on the wood or the full size extended rubber grips, I would recommend this for anyone with large hands.
Kevin D. Williams (verified owner) – :
How can you beat 8 bucks for an item like this. Extended rubber wrapped with finger grooved rubber. Can't beat it. WD-40 does work, but there is still (even just a little) a remnant of oil captured between the sleeve and the grip. It can and will move on you when you really didn't want it to. A replacement to this idea and it won't waste your precious WD-40 (needed for other shop tasks), is to borrow you wife's hair spray. Extra hold is the preferred type of hair spray. Hose down the grip and the inside of the sleeve to where it is soaked and then slip them on and adjust them in your preferred position and the lay it down to dry. The solvent carriers in the hair spray evaporate away and you're left with some really extra hold sticky. It won't slip or come off unless you pry it off. Works great on bike and motorcycle grips too.
Gene – :
Nice little grip sleeve and nice addition to the extended rosewood grip.
I wouldn't recommend using WD-40 or hairspray in installing this sleeve. The chemicals in each one could possibly mar the rosewood.
The way to go is to use a dab of liquid dish or hand soap. Just put a small dab on your finger and lightly coat the inside of the sleeve. It will then slip right on and the small amount of soap will dissipate.
david sattler (verified owner) – :
excellent addition to my ss4 ,really helps controlling this little monster.easy install with a little liquid dish soap. well worth the money
Joe Hughart (verified owner) – :
Affordable, comfortable, easily installed and versatile. If they don't feel quite right after installing them according to the directions, don't return them immediately. Try installing them upside down. Worked for me on my Snakeslayer IV with extended rubber grips.
Tom Barden (verified owner) – :
I really like the feel and the fit. Much more confident when holding it…….:)

Date of Stay: June, 2014
Stayed here 4 nights, with no kids. Just a rest stop for the driver. I think this campground is over-rated and is starting to go downhill. As far as I could tell, the bathrooms were not cleaned daily. If they were, the person did an unsatisfactory job. Showers were adequate but not as clean as I would like. Change machine in laundry was broken and saw no signs it would be working soon. Pay for WiFi and $3 resort fee. Mostly seasonal teenage help that may not be trained well. Great ice cream in the camp store. Passport America rate.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Passport America rate. Stopped here for an overnight that turned into two nights because of bad weather. I almost didn't stop here because the 2013 Good Sam rating was low. Bathrooms/showers are dated but clean. This park under new ownership and they have done a fine job of updating and upgrading the campground. It's easy on/off I-90 but no traffic noise. Sites are level. Owners are friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi is good/fast. I'd stay her again if in the area.

The government hurriedly appointed Ranjit Sinha as the next CBI director late Thursday, apparently to stonewall intervention by the Central Administrative Tribunal that will hear Delhi Police commissioner Neeraj Kumar's petition on Friday.
Kumar had last week dragged the government to the tribunal, complaining he'd been unfairly overlooked for the post on the grounds that a government official he had arrested for bribery had accused him of criminal intimidation and illegal confinement.
Government sources hinted the appointment order was expected to restrict the tribunal from granting interim relief to Kumar.
A 1974 batch Bihar cadre IPS officer, Sinha serves as Indo-Tibetan Border Police director general, a responsibility assigned to him in September 2011 after several months out in the cold. Mamata Banerjee had shunted him out of the Railway Protection Force chief's post in May 2011.
Sinha might be the last CBI director to be appointed at government discretion. The Rajya Sabha panel that studied the lokpal bill has recommended the government be stripped of this power and the decision be left to a panel comprising the PM, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha and the chief justice of India.
This is the first time the UPA government has named a CBI chief a week before the incumbent retires. Current director AP Singh and his predecessor Ashwani Kumar were appointed a day before they were to take charge. Before them, Vijay Shankar, was appointed a week after his predecessor demitted office.

A BC teacher can never teach in this province again after being convicted of child pornography charges.
In a disciplinary decision released by the Teacher Regulation Branch, it has permanently stripped Timothy Joseph Ouellete of his teaching certificate.
Ouellette was an Information Technology teacher at Sunset Elementary School on northern Vancouver Island when he was arrested in March of 2012.
A year later, he was convicted of one count of possession of child pornography, and sent to jail for four months.

When I tell people that I work with dogs with serious behavior problems including aggression, the response is often something like, "Isn't it the people's fault? I mean, don't you find that the dogs are acting that way because the people haven't trained or raised them right?"
I always disagree, saying as gently as I can, "No, most of the dogs I see are really challenging dogs who would have problematic behavior in any situation. And most of the families I work with have had other dogs with perfectly lovely behavior." It's true—the dogs are the ones with the problem in my experience, not the guardians.
Many clients blame themselves, too, probably because the idea that anyone can make any dog behave in any way they desire is so prevalent in our culture. This can lead to guilt and shame that prevents people from seeking help as well as making them feel terrible. Most of the clients I see have dogs with aggression, and the vast majority of the people have had many dogs over the years without such problems. It makes no sense to assume that the dog has gone bad because of mistakes by the people or their inadequacies when they have raised other dogs who did not turn out the same way. People are seeking help and accusing them of being at fault is both unfair and counterproductive.
Many dogs who are aggressive or have other equally serious behavioral problems are naturally wired to struggle with social issues. Some are ill or in pain, while others have a past that is unknown but may involve limited exposure to the world (inadequate socialization) or some ordeal in the past that affected them and their behavior profoundly.
I find myself explaining over and over to clients and people I meet socially that I object to blaming guardians for the serious behavior problems of their dogs. Sure, the behavior of some rowdy dogs may be a result of inadequate training or inconsistencies by the guardians, but slightly rude or out of control dogs are very different than dogs with much deeper issues. When it comes to dogs whose behavior problems represent abnormal (as opposed to just boisterous) behavior, it's important to realize that the people didn't cause the problem.
Do you find that people are being blamed for dogs' serious behavior problems? What's your take on this?
Karen B. London, PhD, is a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist and Certified Professional Dog Trainer whose clinical work over the last 17 years has focused on the evaluation and treatment of serious behavioral problems in dogs, especially aggression. Karen has been writing the behavior column for The Bark since 2012 and wrote The Bark's training column and various other articles for eight years before that. She is an adjunct professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University, and teaches a tropical field biology course in Costa Rica. Karen writes an animal column, The London Zoo, which appear in The Arizona Daily Sun and is the author of five books on canine training and behavior. She is working on her next book, which she expects to be published in 2017.

Amazon's S3 outage over the weekend did not affect Gnip's live service. Gnip uses S3 for system state archival/backup purposes, but the live data flow through Gnip was not affected as we keep it in local instances (memory/local disk). We weren't able to backup data while S3 was down, but its outage was intermittent, so during online windows, we did our backups. Eventually the S3 outage was "over" and balance between local-storage and S3/remote storage was restored. At some magical point if S3 simply wasn't coming back online, we'd move our backups to another service.
Building scalable, redundant, highly-available, systems is the next big game. It actually has been for decades, but now a larger web application audience is becoming accutely aware of its importance, and subsequently, how to accomplish it. At the end of the day, everything fails. The game becomes isolating the weak points, butressing the critical points of your service to ensure "instant" recovery from all the failures you can anticipate, and minimizing complete system setup/restart time in case everything craters and you have to scramble to come back online.
I hope Gnip never has it's day in the searing outage sun, but we're not naive.
Brush your teeth before bed, eat right, exercise, and eliminate your Single Points of Failure.

My friends 1993 bmw318i has quite a few electrical issues like the elec windows and sunroof wont work. When trying to sort this out we removed the relays in turn with the ignition on to try and isolate the correct relay. (All seemed to work fine, but....)
That was a big mistake because now it won't start. The central locking has also stopped working so we wondered if this was linked and was an immobiliser / security issue. (I dont even know if it has an immobiliser!) I have checked all the fuses which are fine.
The engine turns over strongly but shows no signs of starting at all. I really could do with soime help on this one because I feel a bit responsible for egging him on to try and solve the (less important) electric window problems).
Perhaps I should also say that the car is a left hand drive one originally registered in Belgium and now living in the south of France.

Paynter went to medical clinic; status for Travers in jeopardy
DEL MAR, Calif. – Paynter, who became ill within 48 hours of his powerful victory in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on July 29, left that track July 31 bound for the Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center in Ringoes, N.J., according to the required paperwork filed in the Monmouth Park stall office when he left the premises, an employee of the stall office said Wednesday.
The Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center is located approximately 60 miles west of Monmouth Park. According to the center's website, one of the services offered is internal medicine.
The current condition of Paynter, and his whereabouts, have been difficult to ascertain in recent days, because his connections have refused to disclose detailed information.
On Tuesday, in response to inquiries regarding Paynter to both Justin Zayat and owner Ahmed Zayat, Justin Zayat, who works closely with his father, Ahmed, said on Twitter that Paynter "is not dying or retiring." Justin Zayat also said Paynter "is healthy and sound" and added that the colt would be "training at Belmont this weekend," but would not divulge his current whereabouts.
Bob Baffert, who trains Paynter, on Tuesday referred all inquiries to the Zayats, but joked that Paynter was "at a spa in New Jersey, getting his nails done."
Tuesday evening, Justin Zayat posted a picture of his father riding a horse on a merry-go-round at Disneyland with the caption, "I found paynter!!!!!!!"
Paynter originally was scheduled to fly back to California on July 31 to train at Del Mar in preparation for the Travers Stakes. But after taking ill, he stayed on the East Coast. In the immediate aftermath of that news, Baffert said, and the Zayats posted on Twitter, that Paynter would head to Saratoga the following weekend to prepare for the Travers. But Baffert added that if Paynter did not make the Travers, the Pennsylvania Derby – like the Travers a $1 million race – Sept. 22 at Parx Racing would be the backup plan.
Last weekend came and went without Paynter heading to Saratoga.
Tonja Terranova, the wife of trainer John Terranova, often oversees Baffert's horses when they are on the East Coast. She is at Belmont Park this summer, which is where Justin Zayat said Paynter was headed this weekend.
Baffert on Wednesday afternoon on Twitter said Paynter would be "released from Spa Friday."
Regardless, Paynter apparently has not done any serious training since the Haskell and was sick enough to go to a medical clinic, and the Travers is now a little more than two weeks away, so that race is obviously in jeopardy.
Tons of talent--Haskell was SOOOOOOOO easy. BC Classic should be the end goal in California.
So, after Paynter works out, will all you MEN" (excuse me ladies) fees up to all your accusations, inuendo and crying? The horse will work out today or tomorrow. Most likely tomorrow and then run. Can you say "R&R"???
Where ever he is, it sounds like he is NOT training...
MY RACING BROTHERS...you want know who should be in jail. You want know the biggest shill in horse racing. Download the Gizzards, eh I'm the Wizards free selections for today at saratoga today. Why does Bris, DRF and others carry this crap. The gizzard couldn't make a living at the track, that is why he peddles this crap. This is NOT just a bad day, I have other send me the results and his guys sucks. His profitable days are few and far between. They gave this away free today, and if followed the gizzard you lost your *ss
good article by steve haskin talking with A.Zayat on Paynter situation.may be a lot less serious than thought. Paynter was left with only a groom at Monmouth not asst trainer barnes ,who had gone back to Ca. P. moved to clinic as precaution. One minute video on new J.Zayat tweet, showing Paynter being walked at clinic and kicking his heels up twice. doesn't prove anything,but nice to see.
A. Zayat just tweeted...."never heard of unmarx"
This is why we need federalization of racing with one set of rules for all states.what paynter is doing is basically jurisdiction shopping if they get tough on testing in new York he will go to Pennsylvania instead.it sends the message to the racing officials that if you want the big name horse in your race don't pre test don't keep tight surveillance .but let's not forget that maybe without the meds the horse might not have the reputation.
J.Zayat just twweted, 'Paynter healthy and happy yesterday. Arrives at Belmont tomorrow at 11:00. maybe the start of more open info for fans of Paynter and Bode.
I agree with John Capper's post. How can any of us presume to know the entire facts?
So when does The Equine Medical Center release their report - diagnosis, results from bloodwork, treatment, prognosis - You know, all the minor items.

one should not fear death as it is an integral part of endless cycle nature how is thi statement brought in the poem - because i could not stop for deaththis is for an essay
1 Answer | Add Yours
The Poem created or written by Emily Dickinson entitled; "Because I could not stop for Death" is giving us pieces of information that as a human we will surely face death or destined to death, but weren't actually sure when is the day we will say goodbye to this world/ The good thing there about the poem is that, while we are still leaving and not yet to face death we should do all things that will surely leave a mark in the heart of our love ones as in creating a legacy. Yes we can't deny that we will sooner or later face death, but one thing for sure is we trust the Almighty Creator by our faith in Him that we will still leave for eternity after the life on Earth.

(romiplostim) for Subcutaneous Injection
Romiplostim, a member of the TPO mimetic class, is an Fc-peptide fusion protein (peptibody) that activates intracellular transcriptional pathways leading to increased platelet production via the TPO receptor (also known as cMpl). The peptibody molecule contains two identical single-chain subunits, each consisting of human immunoglobulin IgG1 Fc domain, covalently linked at the C-terminus to a peptide containing two thrombopoietin receptor-binding domains. Romiplostim has no amino acid sequence homology to endogenous TPO. Romiplostim is produced by recombinant DNA technology in Escherichia coli (E coli).
Nplate is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free, lyophilized, solid white powder for subcutaneous injection. Two vial presentations are available, which contain a sufficient amount of active ingredient to provide either 250 mcg or 500 mcg of deliverable romiplostim, respectively. Each single-dose 250 mcg vial of Nplate contains the following: 375 mcg romiplostim, 30 mg mannitol, 15 mg sucrose, 1.2 mg L-histidine, 0.03 mg polysorbate 20, and sufficient HCl to adjust the pH to a target of 5.0. Each single-dose 500 mcg vial of Nplate contains the following: 625 mcg romiplostim, 50 mg mannitol, 25 mg sucrose, 1.9 mg L-histidine, 0.05 mg polysorbate 20, and sufficient HCl to adjust the pH to a target of 5.0 [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
What are the possible side effects of romiplostim (Nplate)?
