A dozen illegal animals have been turned in to the state Department of Agriculture over a recent two-week period, officials announced today.
After a boa constrictor was found near the Waiawa Gulch July 4, 11 other reptiles have been turned into the Department of Agriculture. They include three snakes — two boa constrictors and a python — and eight lizards, including three bearded dragons, a blue-tongued skink, a tegu lizard, an iguana and two leopard geckos.
Eleven of the animals were turned in under the state's amnesty program.
The Department of Agriculture's Plant Quarantine Branch will hold the reptiles until arrangements can be made to send them to a Mainland reptile farm.
Snakes and large lizards pose a serious threat to Hawaii's environment because they compete with native animal populations for food and habitat, the department said.
People who have illegal animals are encouraged to turn them in under the state's amnesty program, which provides immunity from prosecution. Illegal animals may be turned in to any DOA office, Honolulu Zoo, Panewa Zoo in Hilo or any Humane Society office. There will be no questions asked upon turning in an animal and no fines assessed.
People caught with an illegal animal are subject to the maximum penalty of a $200,000 fine and up to three years in prison.
Anyone with information on illegal animals should call the Pest Hotline at 643-7378.
NOTE: A previous version of this incorrectly said six of the animals were turned in.

Where I stayed
We stayed at the Movenpick Hotel while in Amsterdam (thanks for the help finding that one Chad). It was really nice and a great location right on one of the main canals in the city.
As we were exiting the train and trying to find out hotel this really nice man basically led us all the way to the main road that we needed to find...The Netherlands already had a nice and generous feel to it!!
While in Amsterdam we visited the Heineken Experience (first of course), we visited the Anne Frank house (really cool), the Van Gogh Museum (just OK), and we did the Canal bus which is the same type of "hop on, hop off" tour bus like we have been doing but it was a boat that cruised through the cities many canals!! Very Fun.
The Anne Frank House and Museum was our favorite activity, we literally walked through the house that the Franks took hiding in!! It is preserved well enough that the pictures that Anne put up on her wall by her bed are still there!! Hearing the story again and seeing the place where they lived was quite an experience!
The last day that we were in Amsterdam (today actually) we attempted to rent bicycles and ride around the city like all the locals do, but after waiting 45min for the bike shop guy to return from lunch we became restless and just decided to take the city tram into town...we only had a few hours before we had to goto the airport anyway.
Overall Amsterdam was a blast! It was Josh's first time there and Jamie's 3rd (but most favorite) time. Although we did visit the red light district we tried to experience the other wonderful things that Amsterdam has to offer, and there are plenty. It is a charming little city with tons of history, eccentric people, lots of water and millions of bicycles. Out of all the cities we have visited, we ranked it 2nd to Interlaken, Switz.
Four more days and we are back home again...kinda yeaay, kinda Ugghhh, already?

Reviews of this property
The apartment is really nice and comfortable, exactly as described in the site. Location is excellent, close to city center, parks and museums. Niels answered our emails quickly and was flexible with our arrival and departure times. He was extraordinary kind in helping us with receiving our lost baggage; he negotiate with the company, and waited for our luggage in the apartment. He spend few hours for this and gave us chance to walk around Copenhagen instead of waiting for our luggage. Thank you very much Niels for a wonderful stay in your wonderful city.
Super nice owner, very very friendly.
Has us all very well explained.
The apartment was as described on the internet, just great everything was fine.
should I go back to Copenhagen I would rent again.
And the bottle of wine was delicious
Thank you very much for everything
Apartment was situated in quiet residential area but still within convenient walking distance of local amenities and city centre. Niels who arranged to meet us was extremely helpful and able to give advice on local attractions. Although we had one or two minor problems with kitchen facilities they were quickly veer come and Neil's was very flexible regards the arrival and departure times.
The apartment was very spacious compared with some others advertised (although there was only two of us) and had all essential equipment and facilities for a pleasant break.
What a very spacious and beautiful apartment. Also very conveniently located. I was here on business trip and can only recommend!
Lovely large apartment and great location for out stay in Copenhagen. It was a lovely space and our family really enjoyed it. Thank you very much Jytte and Neils
Thanks you Niels for the loan of your wonderful apartment. We can't recommend it highly enough. Fantastic location, easy walking distance to most places in the city and so very quiet at night for a peaceful nights sleep.
Looking forward to seeing you again in the summer!
This is a very pleasant apartment in a great location. The accommodation is clean, bright and comfortable on a very quiet street. You can walk to both Norreport and Osterport stations in about 10 minutes or just two minutes to bus stops. There is a large park across the road and the Botanical Gardens are just a 5 minute walk away. Many other city attractions are within fairly easy walking distance too. We would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation.
Estupendo apartamento en Copenhague, situado en muy buena zona, a 20 minutos andando de la zona céntrica y con importantes monumentos, museos y jardines al lado. Limpio, bien decorado. El dueño, Niels, muy amable! volvería encantada
Lovely apartment in Copenhague, 20 minutes walking distance to the centre of the city, and surrended by nice gardens, museums and monuments. Clean, nice decoration. The owner was very kind to us. Sure I would come back!
Appartement très agréable, bien situé et pourvu de tous les appareils et services utiles. Nous n'avons pas rencontre le propriétaire mais il nous a accompagné par mails avant et pendant notre séjour. Nous recommandons ce logement : un bon rapport qualité/prix pour Copenhague.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gross und ideal für 4-5 Personen. Schöne Einrichtung, man fühlt sich gleich wohl. Die Lage ist perfekt und das Zentrum mit den Sehenswürdigkeiten kann man alle gut zu Fuss erreichen. Sehr nette Restaurants, Take Aways sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der näheren Umgebung. Die Übergabe der Schlüssel mit Nils hat super geklappt und können diese Wohnung wirklich weiter empfehlen. Einziger Minus-Punkt ist das etwas veraltete Badezimmer, die Toilette ist für grosse Personen eher klein bemessen.

Shortly after Brian's Dec. 15 return, the 'Family Guy' creator finally addressed his temporary passing on Twitter.
When Brian Griffin was killed on the Nov. 24 episode of Family Guy, viewers were understandably outraged, but the most surprising part of the ordeal was creator Seth MacFarlane's refusal to comment on his death. Seth finally broke his silence Dec. 15, immediately after the Griffin's family pet was brought back to life, explaining why he decided to put fans — and Brian — through hell.
Seth MacFarlane Tweets Why He Killed Brian Griffin
Addressing his 5 million+ followers, Seth finally tweeted about Brian's death Dec. 15, with a surprisingly heartfelt message:
And thus endeth our warm, fuzzy holiday lesson: Never take those you love for granted, for they can be gone in a flash.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) December 16, 2013
Then, in typical Seth fashion, he followed that up with a slightly less warm-and-fuzzy tweet:
I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off Brian, did you? Jesus, we'd have to be fucking high.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) December 16, 2013
Brian Griffin 'Overcome With Gratitude' For Fans' Support
In the end, though, Seth was mostly just glad to see that after 218 episodes of Family Guy, Brian has really become more than just the Griffins' dog to us. We, the people, actually care about him:
Oh and hey… thanks for caring so much about the canine Griffin. He is overcome with gratitude.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) December 16, 2013
(You're welcome, Seth. Now never do anything like that to us again!)
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Seth's pseudo-explanation about Brian's death and revival? Are you happy to have him back on the show? Drop a comment with your take on Brian's life-and-death below.

Are Online Ads Ever Desirable?
Posted by Christine Overby on September 18, 2006
- 387 Recommendations
- 4 comments
The theme for Forrester's upcoming Consumer Forum is "Humanizing The Digital Experience." What makes a digital experience more human? First, it must be useful. Second, it must be usable to the point that the technology fades into the background. Finally, the best digital experiences are desirable enough to stimulate action (e.g. buying a product, or telling a friend about the experience).
After years of clumsy and cold web sites, examples of desirable experiences are starting to pop up everywhere. Witness MySpace.com and NASCAR's PitCommand (a mobile application in which fans can track in real-time the speed, RPM, throttle, position, and time of their favorite driver). These are great, but can every online experience be desirable? What about when a company is trying to sell you something?
Is there such thing as a desirable banner ad?
Many "undesirable" ads get noticed, precisely because they are obnoxious, loud, or otherwise impossible to ignore. The jingle is the classic proof point (my favorite local earworm goes like this "Bernie & Phil's – Quality, Comfort, and Price – That's nice!). Undesirable online ads are annoying eyeblasters, the ads that you have to click through to enter the site, and (of course) the ubiquitous pop-up.
My colleagues and I came up with a few ads that we think clear the desirable bar. Often, these ads are funny, but some also offer an educational or emotional value. The best of these ads also recognize that the ad is part of the larger experience, in which the ad piques enough interest to direct someone to a useful, usable, and desirable site. Some favorites are:
1) Reebok's Terry Tate commercials. Reebok is mentioned almost as an after-thought, but Terry's hilarious depiction of an unconventional corporate executive (The Office Linebacker) sure makes this memorable. Couple this with some in-store signage featuring Terry Tate and Reebok shoes, and you have aided recognition at the point-of-purchase. Pure marketing genius.
2) Smirnoff's Tea Partay.com: a web site for anyone who wants to watch Amagansett preppies in a rap video. Again, there's very little mention of the product, but it's viral nature could make the soft sell more effective.
3) Procter & Gamble's CoverGirl which once ran a banner ad encouraging women to "Get Color Matched". The ad linked to CoverGirl.com's online beauty consultation where woman answered questions about their hair color, skin tone, and make-up preferences. CoverGirl used this profile to personalize the site and follow-up emails to the individual.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. What are some of your favorite desirable (and undesirable) online ads?
More importantly, should online marketers always strive to create desirable ads, or is there still a place online for obnoxious marketing?

My favorite ads are text ads, because you can ignore them pretty easily. Generally speaking, I also don't mind ads when they become content, when the agenda is clearly stated -- but these examples are contingent upon your being able to opt-out or TiVo-out. Think of radio...the songs played. Disregarding the standard commercials, the songs are sort of like ads because they are essentially promotional content assets for content companies (and artists). I don't mind the songs, but I clearly avoid most radio because I usually have little patience for the ads.

Comment from null on Tue, 09/19/2006 - 18:15
Your comment about non-traditional ads is an interesting one, Max. The line between content (song, show) and ads is blurred more than ever, as anyone who watches American Idol knows. I just saw that Georgia Pacific launched a really funny short film series entitled "Brawny Academy" (www.brawnyacademy.com). It's basically about grown men who attend a boot camp to clean up their slovenly ways. Is this type of format better suited to interactive marketers, especially in today's environment of broadband and rich media? Will the eyeblaster and other more overt online ads go the way of the dodo?
re: Are Online Ads Ever Desirable?
Comment from adverlicious (not verified) on Wed, 09/20/2006 - 11:47
In my mind, online ads of days gone by were usually scorned because they failed to engage the viewer with a message/offer that was: (a) relevant, (b) timely, (c) interesting, and (d) actionable.While many advertisers are still stuck in this old-school rut, at least a few are effectively using the channel to drive business results. How?They've learned to research their audience and their behaviors, target their ads on a niche basis, and avoid a shotgun blast of random placements (relevance). They're using state-of-the-art ad serving tools to ensure the right ad is displayed at the right stage in the consumer buying cycle (timeliness). They're also collaborating with their agency partners to deploy large size, rich media ad formats that offer a much enhanced branding capability (interest). And they're encouraging consumers to take action -- often from within the ad itself with a form or tool but at least from the site's landing page (actionable).I see all this (and more) as I archive online ads on my hobby blog, http://adverlicio.us. After reviewing several thousand ads, I've pretty well seen it all -- the good, the bad, and the truly ugly.Coming full circle to your question, I'd agree that most online advertising is far from desireable (which is a very high bar to set for any advertising medium). Some of it is measurably effective, probably a more realistic aspiration for advertisers. And a small but growing amount of it is outright terrific.Please visit my archive, explore the tagged and categorized collection, and then let's continue this discussion!http://adverlicio.us

I'm not totally sure I see the connection between being human and being desirable. OK, maybe for Max (with the glasses and the goatee and all), but what about the rest of us poor slobs?! ;-)Seriously: it's OK to talk about ads, as they are the most public evidence we have of a company's character, but those are manufactured and highly tuned prsentations.BUT: I went to (yet another) company the other day that does zero advertising and is one of the most trusted and loved brands around.I'm not sure that the humanity of an organization should come from its ads. It should be evident in its ads...but it has to come from the actual humans. If you want to inject humanity, don't do an ad campaign. Do a relationship campaign that has ads as a part of it.

Date of Stay: November, 2014
Nicely landscaped campground. Easy access, right on Highway 281 South, on south edge of town. Everything well maintained & management friendly & helpful. Several nice pull thru sites at front with plenty of room. Great water pressure, LP on site. Verizon signal strong. Only drawback is road noise at front sites, which did not bother us to sleep, only with windows open to hear TV, etc.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
Our rate is the weekly rate. We consider this campground top of the line. pull-through sites are spacious with shade trees coming on. Picnic tables on site or available. Our Verizon Wi-Fi & cell phone got good reception. The grounds are nicely landscaped & maintained with flowers everywhere. The buildings are still being refurbished since the flood, but look very nice on the outside and are being refurbished on the inside. New site hookups are being installed weekly. A good restaurant that we tried across the road, and others available that we did not try. A neat historic town (Brownville) just a few miles away with an excellent café. The town of Auburn, just a few more miles away, has many businesses to accommodate your needs. A new pool has just been finished, and we saw people enjoying it. If there is anything you need, the owners are friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
Back-in site was a little tight to get into, but campground manager is very helpful. He trimmed low hanging branches above our RV immediately when asked, is very accommodating, and even offers to help with any problems. Dish reception no problem, Verizon signal adequate, but a little weak on WiFi, no problem with phone. Campground internet works well. Concrete runners and patio on each site. Shade trees are great. The rate is the monthly rate + electric. Quiet, friendly park, well maintained. Only about 15 miles from bay.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
We enjoy this campground because of the deer and guinea that roam around the park. The camp hosts are excellent, and keep the restrooms and laundry immaculate. However, the sand is problematic and the Verizon signal is very weak and spotty for phone, a little better for WiFi. Lot to do in Nacogdoches, about 15 - 20 mile drive.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
We had a pull through site with full hookups for the Passport America rate. The narrow county roads are an inconvenient drive to the campground, but had no problem with low limbs. The actual campsites are very well done, include a picnic table. Nice buildings and accommodations for extra activities. Enjoyed waterfalls and landscaping. Good Verizon reception and Dish signal.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
We were on one of the pull through sites at the back of the park. No problem with Dish reception. It rained while we were there, but had no problem with mud, grass and gravel were adequate. Verizon reception was good, WiFi and phone.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Did not see any of the negatives posted by previous reviewer. Agree with the positive reviews. As far as I could tell, all sites had either shade or partial shade. The park was quiet and friendly. Nice laundry room. Everything well maintained. Improvements are obviously constantly being made. Mini golf is in the works and new sites are being added. Park is convenient to both Chatham and Springfield. Would stay here again when in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
This is a county park about 10 miles from town with good roads all the way, a popular fishing spot. There's an on-site manager, many seasonals, but most sites are well kept. They have a 1.5 mile walking trail, which we did not try. There are also a few cabins. Dump stations and bath houses are convenient and the campground was quiet when we were there. We were able to get a Verizon signal, but could not get a Dish signal on our site due to tall pine trees, but others had dishes set up that evidently worked. The sites are grass and gravel. This campground is not fancy, but very adequate and pleasant if you are visiting the area, the only one we could find.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
After checking with Verizon Wireless to determine whether you could get their signal in this area, and they said there was no signal there, we were pleasantly surprised to find there is a Verizon signal here, a little slow on sunny days, slower or very weak on cloudy days, but adequate most of the time for what we needed. No problem getting Dish signal. About 5 miles to Normandy with 1 restaurant open on weekends only, about 10 miles to Manchester or Tullahoma with many more restaurants and shopping. Our GPS took us in on a strange route, but once you know the area you can navigate easily and roads are in very good condition. We enjoyed our stay here.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Rate reflects Federal Senior Pass. Verizon signal is strong, both phone & wireless. We were able to get a shaded site that backed up near a clearing, so we got a Dish signal for TV. Our site was too small for a rig the size of ours, and the pine needles falling profusely were a nuisance. Roads are tight, but manageable. The water faucet at our site leaked, causing low water pressure in our rig. We reported it, but no repair. Nice, inexpensive laundry room. Our GPS brought us in on Hwy 90 and 127 from the south, which is very curvy, hilly and narrow. Be sure you stay on the Cumberland Parkway and come in from the north. You can't negotiate the turn off of 127 from the south with a bigger rig.
Date of Stay: February, 2012
Easy on and off Highway 6, some road noise, but did not bother us. 6 miles to Many, 5 miles to Robeline, 20 miles to Natchitoches. Good free Wi-Fi. Good utilities. Large rock sites and lot. Very nice laundry. Water is brown and very soft, but no sediment, no staining, tastes good. Playground for children. Nearby pond for fishing. No problem with Verizon signal for phone or MiFi. Sites are fairly close, but few campers so we had plenty room. Only downside is, no dumpster. You must call for info, rates, etc., then put money in slot in office door. Envelopes are available. This was very handy for us to visit in area.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Beautiful campground, U-shaped lake, lots of grass and tall trees for shade, but not a problem with low branches. Sites are roomy, picnic tables on concrete pad. Easy access off Hwy 30. Sites close to highway have traffic noise, but did not bother us. Small camp store, pool tables, big screen TV, paddle boats, some fire rings, firewood available. Good restaurants less than 20 miles. Great owners that are working on the place. 50 amp service not sufficient for big rigs. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
We love this park. Shade, roomy sites, pea gravel pads, grass, friendly staff & campers, very neat & clean, hook ups are up to date & well maintained. There is a highway fairly close to the front sites from which there is some road noise, but it did not bother us. We could only hear it when outdoors. There must be an airport nearby, as small planes went overhead, but not jets, not a problem. Seasonal sites are very neat. Small campground, no pool, but there is a creek at the back. Very quiet and peaceful. We would stay here again. We stayed for a week, one night free.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
Nice park with grassy sites. Restaurant on the grounds is a plus. Sites are well spaced and level. Staff friendly and helpful. Lake Erie is just a short walk away. We enjoyed our stay.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
This park is a gem. Very neat, clean and well maintained. Has a nice view of the fishing lake. In the country, but not hard to get to. Helpful, friendly owner and staff. Lots for kids to do. Peaceful, quiet surroundings. We loved it.

We had a blast at the 2012 Winter Fancy Food show that took place this past Sunday through Tuesday. We spotted so many exciting new trends and taste-tested a lot of new things. Some were really great, some (like a raw cacao bean) were really not. But either way, we appreciate any chance to be surrounded by food and people who love food. Check out some of our behind-the-scenes snaps!

Zionism, Race, and the Great Zionist Racialist Novel
By Mark Gelber
Association for Jewish Studies (AJS), Fall 2007
Before racialism fell out of fashion in the 1920s, the author explains, the Zionist movement contained several elements of racialism. (This racialism was distinct from racism, says the author, because for Zionists, racial distinction went hand in hand with racial equality.) The author traces the various racial ideologies through their manifestations in Zionist literature.
Topic: Race, Literature, History, Racism, Zionism

Best players: David Pocock, James O'Connor, James Horwill.
Biggest flop: Admittedly he did show what he was capable of in the bronze medal match before getting badly injured, but Quade Cooper's form was way below his best. The pressure appeared to get to him in the quarter-final and semi-final. The concerted New Zealand campaign to destabilise Cooper worked.
Best moment: Beating the Springboks with a memorable defensive effort in the quarter-final.
Worst moment: Showing they are still a ''dumb'' team by losing to Ireland in the pool stage. That defeat basically stuffed up their World Cup campaign as it put them on the tough side of the draw.
Biggest blunders: There were many, but the standout was the Wallabies selectors not picking a back-up openside breakaway for David Pocock in the 30-man squad. They got burnt badly when Pocock withdrew just before the Ireland match, and were found out when No.8 Ben McCalman moved there and failed to make the same impact. They later brought over Matt Hodgson, but it was far too late and he was also the wrong person. Reds No.7 Beau Robinson should have been in the squad from the start. As expected, having a third halfback was a waste of time. The team became more negative the longer the tournament went on. There were glimpses of adventure in the quarter-final, but they scored only three tries in their three finals matches. The Wallabies quickly lost their entertainers tag.
Best individual effort: Pocock against South Africa. It was close to the most impressive individual performance of the World Cup, and proved he is Australia's most important player.
Biggest waste of time: The bronze medal game. It is irrelevant, and for the Queensland Reds could easily derail their Super Rugby campaign next year. Cooper looks as though he will be sidelined for a long time after damaging his knee in a meaningless jaunt that is only staged to bolster the coffers of the already too greedy International Rugby Board.
Biggest lesson: The coaching staff requires a major shake-up. Robbie Deans needs to have a stronger back-up team, and more individuals who will question his judgments. There's too much of a ''yes boss'' mentality with the Wallabies. The scrum and restarts remain a big problem, so Michael Foley should be brought in. Ewen McKenzie has to be involved somewhere, because like Foley he has a good rapport with the players. Let's hope the ARU provides some answers in its end-of-season review, and the four former Wallabies on the board - John Eales, Brett Robinson, Michael Hawker and Mark Connors - realise a restructure is required.
Biggest question: Will Deans survive to the next World Cup? It's debatable, because his biggest supporter John O'Neill will leave the ARU in two years and others will be involved in the decision in late 2013 to determine whether Deans stays on. His win percentage has to improve dramatically.

I have dealt with the media for over forty years and have to say for the most part, I've gotten a pretty fair shake most of the time. The interviews I've done have almost always been presented in the spirit in which they were given and the critical reviews of the shows were honestly critiqued from the point of view and the ability of the reporter who reviewed them.
However, I have also experienced the other side of the coin when a critic, either by ignorance or choice, doesn't understand the music he's listening to or considers it beneath him and writes some scathing piece of tripe that reflects neither the quality of the performance nor the reaction of the folks who bought the tickets.
The truth of the matter is that I don't need a review from a critic, good or bad, to tell me when my band has rocked the house and pleased the crowd, I've been doing it, in many cases, before said critic was even born.
But the point being, if someone who hadn't attended the concert read the review and that was their only means of knowing what went on at the show, they would draw the conclusion that the performance was bad, and that is exactly what is happening in America today. Too many people read or watch a biased news source, that's all they know, and they draw their conclusions accordingly.
Some reporters are downright mean; especially sports reporters - who, win, lose, or draw - can never find anything good to say about the home team. I saw a piece by a Denver sports writer some years ago which said he hoped the Broncos didn't go back to the Super Bowl because losing was too embarrassing.
How cynical can you get?
The point that I'm making is that the media is just like every other business, good guys, bad guys, qualified and unqualified, fair and accurate and agenda driven, and therein is the problem.
When the media are agenda-driven, it means they don't report the news anymore - at least, not the news that doesn't fit their agenda, and even the news they do report is slanted to present an issue or a personality in a favorable or unfavorable light, depending on the disposition of the issue and the opinion of the personality.
One of the most atrocious torture, rape and murder cases in history took place in Knoxville, Tennessee a few years ago. It was something straight out of a horror story involving a young college girl and her boyfriend, who were both repeatedly raped, beaten, mutilated and finally murdered, but not until the girl had bleach poured into her mouth in an attempt to erase DNA evidence.
I live less than two hundred miles from Knoxville and never heard a word about this story until months after it took place.
Now, which story is more horrible, the Trayvon Martin case or this case?
Yet, not one network or cable story, no New York Times, no Washington Post, no 60 Minutes, hardly even any headlines in the local Nashville media.
Simple, it was black on white crime and just didn't fit the template of the agenda being advanced by most media these days.
Until the advent of Fox News a few years ago, the three major networks had a monopoly on reporting the news, picking what stories they broadcast and coloring the ones they did broadcast to suit themselves.
Fox doesn't hesitate to go against the grain, presents both sides of a story and let the viewer decide which side to come down on and the rest of the media world hates them for tearing their playhouse down.
The lion's share of major media these days is agenda-driven which makes for an uninformed public, which makes for a herd mentality of people who only know what they're fed and believe whatever they're told, and people that's a dangerous situation.
Dig deep, find the truth, it's available but sometimes we have to read between the lines to get at it.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.
God Bless America

Medicine; Can a Tumor Spell Murder?
For months Charles J. Whitman, a student at the University of Texas, had known that there was something terribly amiss with his brain. Yet he could find no succor or escape. Even at the last, when he was about to embark on his final rampage of killing, he pleaded in a note that an autopsy be performed on himself after what he knew would be his own, inevitable death.

Make a tactical change
Andreas Weimann insists the confidence in camp is sky-high as Villa get set to face Stoke on Sunday.
Villa are aiming for a hat-trick of home wins, after seeing off Norwich and Chelsea in the last two B6 battles.
Weimann says the players are buzzing after the 1-0 win over the Blues - and he hopes the team can take that feel-good factor into the tough Potters test this weekend.
He said: "Bodymoor Heath is buzzing. We have seen it in training all week. We're all so confident at the moment.
"The whole team played really well against Chelsea, every single player performed on the night.
"We feel great after that win. I thought we thoroughly deserved it too.
"We defended well. We fought hard in midfield. We created chances. We scored the only goal of the game. We had a plan. We had our tactics for the game. We got them right.
"We played really well and caused them quite a few problems. Christian had two chances and Fabian could have got a second right at the end.
"The dressing room was so noisy after the match. There were a lot of pats on the back and high fives and the music was on pretty loud. It was a great place to be.
"It's like that after every win but there was even more joy in there because we beat one of the best teams - the side at the top of the table.
"They are the moments you get into football for - they make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
"When the final whistle went, I just remember the noise all around the stadium. It was tremendous. My hands went straight up in the air when the ref blew - I was first-pumping.
"This is now the most confident we have felt all season. We had won quite a few games - lately Norwich - so we went into the Chelsea match with plenty of belief.
"But the win has given us an added boost. We feel very good as we look forward to the rest of the season now.
"We're all focused on the rest of the games. We want to get as many wins as we can and see where we are at the end of the season.
"Finishing the season well is important because it sets you up for the summer. You can go away feeling good about the next campaign and the fans have plenty of optimism as they look forward too.
"There has definitely been progress this season. We were right near the bottom for much of the previous season until we finished extremely well but this season we haven't been near that really.
"Now we're sitting in 10th - that's progress for us. All you can ask for is progress.
"It's about small steps. It's about moving forward steadily. I feel the gaffer is building something special. It's about finishing this season well and then pushing on again next season."

When it comes to baseball, Spring Training takes the cake. $8 tickets? Don't mind if I do. Seats so close you can see the players blink? Yes, please. I tip my hat to whoever came up with Spring Training games. However, after tipping my hat, I can't help but scratch my head at the locations.
You have two choices – you can bake and hang out with the local cacti while you enjoy Arizona's finest spring baseball, or you can steam and slurp on a juicy grapefruit while you enjoy Florida's finest Spring baseball. Whatever you choose you are likely to walk out with a sunburn and, possibly, a minor to severe heat rash, and, if you're lucky, a fly ball. It sounds unpleasant but, believe it or not, that doesn't stop thousands of people from flocking to Arizona and/or Florida to see their favorite players and teams play every spring – and sometimes for less than ten buckaroonies at that.
Now, before you Florida and Arizona natives start shouting obscenities at me through your monitor, let me say one thing. I am from the south and I now live in Arizona, so I have extensive experience with both the kinds of heat. It's either dry or wet – take your pick. I will say this though; both the Arizona deserts and the Florida beaches offer spectacular views.
Fortunately, even though you can't do much about the heat while you're outside at the game, when you're done root-root-rooting for the home team, you can come to your home away from home and enjoy the comfort of your Best Western a/c unit until your next game – and with 53 Best Western hotels in Arizona and a whopping 93 hotels in Florida you shouldn't have any problems finding a hotel close to your favorite team's stadium no matter where you choose to go. I mentioned the spectacular views right? Well, each Best Western hotel, whether in Florida or Arizona, comes with a complimentary view when you rent a room – how nice!

Our environment is a very precious thing, and affects everything from our quality of life to our health. And, although we have come a long way with the many regulations and environmental acts that are now in place, factors such as the continued growth in industry and the rise in vehicles on the road mean that pollutants are still being pumped in to the environment on a continual basis.
In order to help the official bodies deal quickly and efficiently with environmental pollution issues, it is important that we are aware of the basics so that we know what to do if we suspect contamination. It is also vital that we know a little about environmental law and the health effects of pollution in order to minimise the personal effects of contamination.
This site contains a number of articles explaining the basics of environmental law, and how pollution of water, air and the environment in general could affect your life.

This ends up in a lot of Clinique GWPs so I've never had to purchase it. It's a deep nude with a hint of bronze sparkle and it applies smooth and creamy straight from the tube. Staying power is average. I wouldn't call it an exciting shade -- it's a workhorse but a reliable one. A score whenever you can get it for free!

My mom gave me a gwp of this and I was surprised by how wearable the shade is. In the tube it looks much darker than it does on my lips. A nice orangey light brown that doesn't wash out my skin like a lot of darker lipsticks tend to. Not sure if I would purchase when I run out bc I usually wear tinted glosses but worth considering for sure.

I wore this for years and years and years in the 90's and am revisiting it now that the 90's lip is back in style. Great shade...I will probably always keep a tube of this as long as Clinique keeps it in production.

I got this on a whim during a trip to Hong Kong in 2010 because it was on sale and it looked like a shade that would suit a lot of women (meaning I can give it to my Mom or my sister if need be). It looks darker and more brownish in the tube, but when I tried it on, it was a "my lips but better" shade. Love! I finished the tube pretty quickly because I consistently wore it at work. Staying power is not great as it has some slip, but I didn't mind retouching and the formula is buildable. I'm quite disappointed that I didn't buy more in HK. I've tried to look for the same shade in my country but the Clinique shops/booths were either out of stock or I'm scrimping at the time and didn't want to spend a lot on lipstick. I may take the plunge soon & finally get my 2nd tube!

I absolutely LOVE this lipstick! 1 thing to know though is, color is different in the store than it looks "outside". I use Tenderheart all the time and wouldn't change brands if I were paid to!
When I had darker hair I used Double Fudge, but since my hair is now lighter 3-shades of blonde (to blend the white roots easier at my age of 54) Tenderheart is the exact beautiful color that loves me! I've never found a decent lipstick that didn't have an odor or nasty taste...look no further! I've been using Clinique's lipsticks and "Almost lipsticks" for many years. Nobody comes even close to having this quality.
The price isn't cheap, as it's not a cheap product. You get what you pay for, as I've learned. If it looks/tastes bad, how many x's are you going to buy it? I only need a couple of these per year.

I have the silver ribbed tube of lipstick in spice and use the clinique lip liner in root beer. This is my HG lipstick. As with ANY lipstick, it doesn't last forever, you must reapply maybe a couple times throughout the day. Does not dry my lips out and the color payoff is great. I prefer bronzers to blush year round and this color complements that look well. I've tried a lot of lipsticks from high end to wet n wild. Nothing against most of them, but Clinique has a winner here. I have tried other colors in this line and seems spot on with my fav-Spice.

I had run out of a drugstore sheer lippie by Cover Girl and when I got this as GWP, it was perfect. I'd call it a sheer, slightly orange tinted (but natural) brown. Looks great with my fair-medium yellow undertones, green eyes and blonde hair. For days when I get sick of wearing pink lippies! I'd never pay full price though.

This is a very pretty lipstick, but the color isn't right for me. It looks more brown than pink and it washes the color out from my skin. It's nice, but not for me.

Celtics-Pacers Game Blog: Fourth Quarter
|12.03.08 at 7:27 pm ET
Entering the fourth quarter … Celtics 88, Pacers 73
– Rivers is leaving Pierce on the court with the second unit. The Celtics captain got hot toward the end of the third quarter but his real accomplishment tonight has been containing Danny Granger. The Pacers are going with all but one starter (Nesterovic) in hopes of staging a comeback. They did outscore the Lakers 32-16 in the fourth quarter last night.
– In between the time I typed this and hit save, Granger drained a pair of threes to put the Pacers within nine.
– A new character was dubbed in the Garden tonight. "Mr. Roboto" joins the ranks of Soulja Boy Jr. and the Jack Black Guy for his quirky robotic dance moves.
– Rondo's back in the backcourt with Eddie House. Usually this would be a size disadvantage but the Pacers have TJ Ford and Jarrett Jack in. Maybe Rondo will get the standing O he deserves when he sits down this time.
– It has been 181 games since a Celtic recorded a triple-double. The last player to do so was Ryan Gomes. (He was selected 50th in the same draft as Granger.)
– The Pacers unloaded their bench with five minutes to go. Travis Diener and Stephen Graham (former Oklahoma State teammate of Tony Allen) have checked into the game. They were greeted by yet another dunk by KG.
– Gino Time. Celtics are up 16 and Patrick O'Bryant's in the game. Garnett is standing alone to watch Gino but he has the rest of the Garden cheering with him.
– There's the standing O Rondo deserves. He left the game with 16 points, 17 assists, and 13 rebounds. Someone in fantasy basketball land just had a monster night.

Sunday 25th April 1915 – The Anzac Landing - Diary of HV Reynolds
Sunday 25 April 2010 by Janice Farrer. No comments
Diary of an Anzac
Please note: Care has been taken to transcribe these entries without alteration to preserve the original language of Herbert Vincent Reynolds.
'At 1.30 am the boat weighed anchor and got under way. Every one was astir early and watching for the first signs of the engagement, at about 5am we could just discern the break of day and the report of the guns could be faintly heard, but they got plainer gradually as we steamed along, until the light increased and the outline of land could be dimly seen. Every few seconds a stab like flash would be seen from the guns and the shells as they exploded. As we slowly steamed towards the other transports anchored off the coast in an extremely calm sea, we passed an overturned lifeboat. The observation balloon on the ship Ark Royal was well up in the air when we passed her and a sea plane was alongside ready to rise.
At about 7.30am we dropped anchor amongst dozens of other transports. All along the coast at intervals the battleships were firing salvoes, great sheets of flame issuing from them at each discharge and a deafening crash like thunder seems to shake the boat. Occasionally a shell from the enemy would come and fall harmlessly in the water amongst the transports, very little notice being taken of them.
At about 9am the Torpedo boat Destroyer Scourge came alongside and we got on board her with our gear only the bearer section of our unit is landing. In a very few minutes on the decks of the Destroyer were packed with troops and she began to move off, when all of a sudden there was a sharp crack and her left aft mast carrying the wireless came down. One of the out swung derricks on the transport having fouled it as we began to move. Several received a severe bump though fortunately no one received much injury, and the damaged mast and wireless was rigged up again in less time than it takes to tell.
The Destroyer slipped in as close to shore as possible, we then got into row boats which were in tow along the Destroyers sides. Picks, shovels and various other equipments including stretchers were tossed in and we were towing behind a steam pinance before the Destroyer has even stopped and was making straight for the shore at a real good speed. A short distance from the beach the pinance cast us adrift and the sailors in each boat commenced to row their boat the remaining distance. We had almost reached the beach when there was a scream in the air and a crash followed by a splashing in the water just clear of the boat, it was shrapnel and no one needed telling of the fact. We were in the water as soon as it was shallow enough and were wading ashore in water up to our waists and losing no time in doing it. On reaching the beach we got rid of our equipment and with our section officer Captain Wassail climbed the first ridge. Here we found this pretty unhealthy for our first duty in action came very soon for as we reached the crest of the ridge we came upon a chap badly wounded, he was attended to and my 3 mates (we work in parties of 4) set out to carry him to the beach. This proved to be a difficult undertaking down the steep side of the hill, there are no tracks to follow and the wounded have to be carried down sideways on or they would slide off the stretcher. Then the scrub which is about 5 ft high and pretty thick, also the loose rocks which roll down into the gully when dislodged give no end of trouble, however the wounded seem prepared to put up with the rough handling they receive in being brought in and which we are unable to prevent under the circumstances. On returning up the ridge we came under fire from an enemy machine gun and though sheltered from it by a bank just below the crest of the ridge, it was trained in such a way as to prevent any one going any further at that particular point.
Shrapnel began to explode pretty freely in the gully below us and a couple of chaps were wounded by it, we attended to them and they then walked back to the beach. A few minutes later as we approached the crest of the ridge again a chap called t us in the scrub and got one of the mates to dress one of his fingers which had the tip shot off at the first joint, he then went back through the scrub saying he would let some ****** know he could still use his rifle. All the wounded we attend to in any way showed a disregard for the pain that is really remarkable. After numerous trips to the beach we received instructions late in the afternoon to assist in placing some of the wounded in barges which carried them out to the hospital ships and transports.
The beach presented an awful scene, evidently the wounded had been collecting on the beach all day and none were being transported out to the boats till late in the afternoon. There must have been somewhere about 1200 wounded and numbers if dead lying along in the shelter of the cliff which gave very limited shelter even then, especially from shrapnel which every now and then would explode over the each. Taking its toll and adding to the already huge death toll. The doctors worked like Trojans during their utmost under the circumstances to attend to all serious cases that urgently required it, their job was an impossible one as every one could understand. The courage shown by the wounded will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it, it was brilliant, they were prepared for anything and gave a great deal more thought for how things were going in the line, than they seemed to do for their wounds. Many would be cursing their wounds and their helplessness not on account of any pain but for the reason that they were out of the thick of the fight.
All the while the guns of the ships were at it constant and their roar mingled with the crack of rifle fire and machine gun fire and the scream and crash of shells in the air and when they exploded created such a medley of sound, that it became hard to realize that it was not all a great nightmare. The broadsides from the 15in guns on the Lizzie seemed to shake the very earth when she fired. I have no idea of the time, but it was getting on to sunset and while engaged on the beach that I came across Ellis Stones with a severe wound in the knee, we only had time for a few words, as we put him on a barge, he informed me about Will Elliot being killed just after leaving the boat.
Just about sunset we went over the first ridge at a point away to the right of where we were engaged this morning and worked out way up the gully behind it to where it seemed to meet the second ridge, there we collected a number of wounded and carried them to the beach. An attempt was being made after sunset to get some of our artillery ashore, only 2 Indian mountain batteries are ashore and we are badly in need of artillery support. Every where the enquiry is being made along the front – "where is our artillery?" and a constant call from reinforcements at one point or another is made.
There appears to be no sign of us pushing through to our objectives without them, for the casualties have already been enormous and the battalions are scattered everywhere, although there is a definite understanding between everyone to stick the thing through, and hold out against the increasing numbers of enemy at any cost. Rumours concerning the British at Helles are very favourable if correct, we heard that Indian and French forces are making an attempt to link up with our right flank to assist us, and that early tomorrow British troops will be sent to our front, to push on. Tonight we are being held and out line is very weak if the enemy make any serious attempt to attack. All along the coast the battleships are firing, and at every discharge a blinding flash splits the darkness followed by a crash like thunder. The rifle fire has been intense all day, and continues to be so. So far our rifle fire has stopped all enemy attempts to drive us back though we have had to give some ground.'

Kevin Grandia | March 10, 2009
By Kevin Grandia • Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 12:10
The mass amounts of hot air spewed forth daily by self righteous right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh are probably a significant contribution to the warming of our planet. Someone should do a study to confirm this.
What's less doubtful is the effect Limbaugh's blustering babble has had on Republican lawmakers who continue to ignore the mountains of scientific evidence telling us that we need to deal with the issue of global warming.
Here's a typical Limbaugh global warming quote:
"Despite the hysterics of a few pseudo-scientists, there is no reason to believe in global warming."
Many on the right in Washington regard Limbaugh as a hero. In fact, the rumor on Capitol Hill is that Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has a Limbaugh poster stapled to the ceiling over his bed, so he can wake up to his "glorious leader" every morning. But that' just a rumor.
The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has launched a campaign today urging Republican leaders to stop parroting Limbaugh and start listening to their reasonable colleagues like Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who are both taking action in their respective States.
So take a moment, sign the petition here and enjoy the short video the LCV has produced to go along with their campaign:

I'm surprised this video isn't more popular, it was absolutely hilarious. Although, I hate Rush, so I'm all for it. So completely dead on, good post fellas.

Rush for GOP leader
We could hardly do better than to have Rush lead the GOP. The party of true freedom, the party of Abraham Lincoln, has been pummeled and overtaken by those who believe their socio-political view is more important than science and other facts. For example, the view that the war on drugs is a help. Or that demanding abstinance prevents teen pregnancy. Or that more prisons will solve the crime problem. Or what's good for carbon is good for the planet. Then Rush will finish the job that Dick Cheney and his purse puppy GWB so effectively began…. nailing down the lid on the NeoCon coffin. Go get 'em Rush. You may be just the lardass big mouth we need right now.
John, what do you suggest
John, what do you suggest instead of the so-called "war on drugs"? Do we capitulate and change the laws to satisfy the violent sociopaths running the drug trade? Legalize drugs and these violent no-gooders will go into kidnapping and other criminal pursuits. What then, legalize kidnapping?
For the record, abstinence does prevent pregnancy. 100% effective. We have witnessed a mass increase in single motherhood and poverty and live with huge rates of abortion. Hardly a success story.
As for Rush, he is the Michael Moore of the right … both are entertainers and not to be taken terribly seriously.
Unsupported statement.
"We have witnessed a mass increase in single motherhood and poverty and live with huge rates of abortion." False; not in Canada.
Sure we have VJ. Single
Sure we have VJ. Single motherhood has risen greatly in Canada in the last several decades and single mothers are often lower on the economic ladder.
My point is not to highlight single mothers but to mention that being against abstinence does not magically end all the issues surrounding parenthood, poverty, etc.. Abortion rates run at about 100,000 annually in Canada which also indicates that sex education may not be the raging success it is made out to be.

Certainly global warming has
Certainly global warming has received tremendous attention this decade, including with Al Gore's Academy Award-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." It is not clear whether the troubled economy has drawn attention away from the global warming message or whether other factors are at work. It will be important to see whether the 2009 findings hold up in next year's update of the annual environmental survey. ( Essay , Thesis and Dissertation Writing )
