IF anybody knows what medicine to pack and how to avoid getting sick on a cruise ship, a stomach doctor should. And so people on a Caribbean cruise aboard the Golden Princess in December were delighted to find out that Dr. Robert Sable, a gastroenterologist at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, was a fellow passenger.
''I was a popular figure at the dinner table for a few days,'' he said.
Dr. Sable kept his medicine bag simple: the over-the-counter medicine Imodium to treat diarrhea, Tylenol for pain and fever, and the prescription antibiotic Cipro in case of a bacterial infection.
But Dr. Sable knew that no medicine could prevent or cure the illness that has struck a number of cruise ships lately, vomiting and diarrhea caused by a highly contagious group of germs known as Norwalk-like viruses or by a newer name, noroviruses.
From January to Dec. 2, 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed nine norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships, three outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness caused by bacteria and nine episodes whose cause was not determined. In January another norovirus outbreak was confirmed on the cruise ship Norway, and the C.D.C. was monitoring cases of gastroenteritis on the Nantucket Clipper, which was sailing from the United States to Belize. As of Feb. 4, the C.D.C. reported, it was tracking outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness on four more ships: Sundream, Olympia Voyager, Carnival Spirit and Sun Princess. The last five days of a Hawaii cruise on the Sun Princess were canceled after 265 passengers -- 13 percent -- became ill. The ship was scrubbed and sailed again last Sunday.Continue reading the main story
Norovirus outbreaks are common wherever lots of people live together in close quarters, not just on ships; hospitals, military bases and nursing homes have also been hit. Health officials suspect that many shipboard outbreaks result from infected people carrying the virus onto the ship with them. Once an outbreak occurs, the viruses are difficult to get rid of: they are hardy and can live on surfaces for weeks, and it takes a strong disinfectant like bleach to kill them.
Not a 'Stomach Flu'
Antibiotics are useless, because they fight bacteria, not viruses. Many people assume that flu shots ward off noroviruses, but that is a misconception, because noroviruses attack the gastrointestinal tract and have no relation to the respiratory viruses that cause the flu. Gastrointestinal viruses do affect the stomach, but, contrary to popular opinion, there is no such thing as ''stomach flu.''
Once a norovirus takes hold, Dr. Sable said, ''there's not much you can do to treat it.'' Fortunately, the symptoms usually last only a few days. Imodium can help stop the diarrhea, though it does not affect the virus. But Imodium and similar anti-diarrhea drugs should never be used by anybody with a high fever or bloody diarrhea, the disease centers warns, because those symptoms may signal a more serious infection, and stopping the diarrhea may prolong or worsen the illness by preventing the body from expelling the germs. For that reason, it is preferable to consult the ship's doctor rather than to dose oneself.
Regardless of the cause, when vomiting and diarrhea occur, it is important to drink clear liquids when they will stay down, to avoid dehydration.
Shipping lines and the C.D.C. say that the best defense against Norwalk is to try to avoid it, via frequent hand washing. Dr. Sable said he agreed with that advice, and emphasized it with his family.
''But you really have to wash your hands a lot,'' Dr. Sable said -- especially after using the bathroom and before eating. ''Your hygiene has to be immaculate.''
Hand Washing Is Key
Hand washing can make a difference, experts say, because of the way that noroviruses are spread. Infected people shed the virus in their stools and vomit, and continue shedding it for about two weeks even after they recover. Those who do not wash their hands after using the bathroom may contaminate everything they touch. Other people who touch the same surfaces may then pick up the viruses, and become infected while eating or if they put their hands near their mouths. But frequent hand washing can cut down on infection rates, health officials say, along with practices like disinfecting ships, discouraging people from shaking hands and eliminating self-serve buffets.
Dr. Sable never needed his medicine kit. He said he and his family stayed healthy on their trip and, as far as he knew, no outbreaks occurred on their ship.
Experts say that people with weakened immune systems, including cancer patients on chemotherapy, are no more vulnerable to noroviruses than anyone else. But they are at higher risk for other types of infections from food, and Dr. Gianna Zuccotti, who gives travel advice to cancer patients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, advises those who travel on ships to drink bottled water and to brush their teeth with it, avoid ice cubes and salad, and eat only well-cooked foods or fruits they peel themselves. Unpasteurized milk and cheese can also cause illness.
That is the standard advice given to everyone who travels in parts of the world where a host of organisms, most often bacteria, can cause traveler's diarrhea and even typhoid and cholera. Some ports of call for cruise ships are among the places where travelers have to be careful. According to the C.D.C., high-risk destinations include most developing countries in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. A few Caribbean islands are considered intermediate risk, along with southern European countries. Canada, northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and some Caribbean islands are low risk.
According to the C.D.C., several studies have shown that Pepto-Bismol can reduce the incidence of diarrhea by about 60 percent. But a high dose is needed -- two ounces or two tablets four times a day. That much can cause constipation or nausea, and in rare instances can produce ringing in the ears. The C.D.C. advises against taking it for more than three weeks. Not everybody can take Pepto-Bismol: it is not safe for young children or people allergic to aspirin or who have kidney disease or gout, and it can interact badly with certain drugs, so people who take medication regularly need to check with their doctors.
Taking antibiotics preventively can work, but the C.D.C. discourages it because the drugs have side effects and may also increase a person's risk of becoming infected with dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria.
In some regions travelers run the risk of contracting hepatitis A, a viral infection that can be spread by contaminated food or water. It can cause a more severe and longer-lasting illness than Norwalk virus. A vaccine exists, and Dr. Sable recommends it to patients who travel to high-risk areas, especially Southeast Asia, he said.

Chapter 1: The Departure of an AvatarMature
Dawn had begun, although only a glimpse of it was visible to the eye. A child was walking down a cobbled path, his shoes rubbed against the stone and pushed him forward while he looked ahead at the rising sun. His figure was immature, his hands were not too big and were grasping onto a handle, while his legs were forcefully being picked up again and again. There was a glint of excitement in his hazel eyes and a wide grin on his face, he finally came to a halt when he reached the pier which was quite large for its length, and released the grasp he hand on the handle. A suitcase fell to the ground and the boy lifted his arms up into the sky, brushing them against his messy hazel hair, a yawn escaped from his mouth.
"It's really troublesome to wake up this early to leave." The boy spoke, he put his left hand over his eyebrows and squinted to see if there was anything within the distance. "I think I see it!"
He picked up his suitcase, gripping it tightly and rushing forward to the end of pier, he waved his right hand repetitively in hopes that the small boat within the distance would notice him. Even if it did, it was heading for the pier he was stood at nevertheless,
A few minutes did pass, but the excitement of the situation made it fly for the child who waited for the ship to dock itself at the pier. At that point, a man within his thirties was stood there, his skin was tanned and his facial hair had outgrown his actual hair. He wore a cap, which hid his eyes from the view of the boy and wore a worn out overcoat. He gestured at the boy to make his way with his right hand, of which the boy followed immediately.
There was not much of a wait before they departed again.
"Young'uns seem to have gotten more materialistic, all the flashiness in your dress and the attitudes." The old man took the initiative to start a conversation with the boy, who looked down at his clothes which he found to be quite casual. It was a hoodie, one with short-sleeves as well which were orange and the rest of the hoodie was entirely white, meanwhile he wore orange cargo shorts which were just to have some pockets. "What's yer name?"
"I never thought of myself as materialistic, but I suppose you're right, mister." The boy nervously chuckled, he still held his grasp on his suitcase and looked towards the ocean, seeing that the sun had risen more than before. "I'm Enlil. What about you, mister? What is your name?"
"Pahahaha! Interesting, someone who isn't so prideful for once." The old man had dodged the question, focusing on controlling the ship. "So, what brings ya' to such a place?"
"Well, it's been a dream of mine since I was a child to be an Avatar. So, I thought that there was no better place to go than the Avatar Academy!" Enlil's words were filled with passion, even the old man had frozen for a second from such enthusiasm. "I want to help everyone I meet!"
The old man grumbled at his words, whether it was his childish thoughts that annoyed him or the enthusiasm was just too common for him, either way he was displeased by it.
"Let go of the stories, kid. This isn't the Avatar Academy, it's the Militant Academy." The old man began to lecture him, Enlil turned his gaze towards him to listen. "If you want to be an Avatar, you have to push down all those in your way, there is no other way to make it to the top."
"I don't want to make it to the top." Enlil scoffed, the old man was shocked by his announcement and even turned around to see his expression of hilarity. "I want to be an avatar so that I can help the entire world. If I have to push down people for that, then I'll do it, although I'm not a fan of it."
The old man laughed greater than he had before, turning back to face the direction in which they were heading. Enlil jumped in reaction from the sudden sound he made.
"Ah, you are a funny kid. I don't think I've ever heard such a thing before." The old man managed to calm down, sighing before he spoke again. "Seriously, you need to grow up, otherwise being an avatar is just stupid for you."
Enlil only lightly chuckled, glaring at the old man who looked behind again to inform Enlil of the time it would take for them to reach the academy that Enlil dreamed about for so long.
"We're about a day away, so-" upon noticing Enlil's eyes, the old man broke out into a cold sweat, he stuttered on his words. His eyes were lifelessly staring at him, it was like he was marked for death. "Get comfy…"
There was an empty silence, where Enlil proceeded into the cabin of the ship, leaving only the old man out on the deck. Such loneliness was comforting to a man who had spent a majority of his life at sea. He had met many people, experienced many things, yet despite such experience the eyes of a child struck fear into him.
He was planning on going slow, to get some rest and continue the next day and arrive as good as gold, but his fear had gotten the better of him. Even if Enlil was powerless, he looked as if he was going to kill him that instant and the old man only wanted to get as far away from the child as possible.
"He'll make a good avatar." He finally spoke, he was then stood in silence where dawn had finally passed.
(Author Notes:
Well, I'd really appreciate it if there would be some criticism, because I still think it sucks…
Anyways, I suppose what I am worrying about in this entire story is the action scenes. I am very confident that I suck at them absolutely, so that will be fun. I'll try practicing them before I post them.
Also, if you're not reading this on my website, I always update that first since the lag is essentially zero there, so if that's of any interest to you...

G Lab Helmsman Tech Jacket Men's
Dockworkers aren't glamorous, but they were the first to figure out the utility of a killer peacoat. G Lab's Helmsman Tech Men's Jacket isn't a classic peacoat, but its style is certainly informed by the utilitarian jackets that came before it, and it's even more weatherproof than its predecessors, so it's the perfect choice for braving the urban elements with style, if not for going to work down by the docks. The backbone of this weather beating jacket is the three layer waterproof and breathable membrane, which keeps you dry without making you feel clammy or sticky. The synthetic fabric is treated with a Teflon DWR coated, which encourages water to bead up and run off rather than soaking in, and G Lab finished the seams with full taping, preventing moisture from sneaking in through tiny gaps. A good peacoat has to keep you warm as well as dry. The Helmsman accomplishes this task with a zip out thermal jacket, which features knit cuffs to trap heat close to your skin without feeling bulky or excessively steamy. It also features a removable knit lambswool collar as well as fleece lined hand pockets that let you bundle up against the chill when you're strolling along the shore on a breezy November afternoon.

The fight against so-called Islamic State (IS) will dominate talks in Washington shortly between French President Francois Hollande and US President Barack Obama.
The Paris suicide attacks claimed by IS have prompted the US to issue a worldwide travel alertto its citizens.
President Hollande is meeting other world leaders this week, hoping to forge a stronger alliance against IS.
But Turkey's downing of a Russian jet has fuelled tension over the Syria war.
Russia says a Sukhoi Su-24 warplane was shot down over Syria on Tuesday by an air-to-air missile fired by a Turkish F-16 fighter. Turkey says the Russian jet had entered its airspace.
As Turkey is a Nato member the incident has put a new strain on Russian-Western efforts to neutralise the IS threat in Syria and Iraq.
The US is unlikely to support French efforts to build a Russian-Western military alliance against IS, correspondents say. But there is some military co-ordination with Russia.
France is now sending warplanes from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, off the Syrian coast, to pound IS targets.
Suspicious belt
Russia has also stepped up air raids against anti-government rebels in Syria, since a Russian airliner was blown up over Egypt by suspected IS-linked militants last month.
But Western leaders have urged Russia to focus its raids on IS, not on other groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
French police are examining what appears to be a suicide bomb belt dumped on a Paris street following the 13 November attacks that killed 130 people.
It is said to resemble belts used by the attackers and was found in a suburb which a suspect is thought to have passed through after the attacks.
The key suspect, Salah Abdeslam, remains at large and a massive manhunt for him continues.
After the attacks he fled to Belgium, where he and some of the other jihadists were based.

BOGUE, Kan. - Normally, next month is October. Go to your calendar. Lift the September sheet so's you can see October clearly.
Now carefully count the number of Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If you've done it right, there should be five each. So what, you ask? Come back to the present. Kiddo, next month is a rarity.
For the coming 823 years, only this year will October have five Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A good Christian lady in Dodge City assured me she got that from a reliable friend. Pass it along at the coffee shop, but make sure you tell where you learned it. Right here. With luck, all good Americans will know before election day.
Think I'm joking? Yeah, well, our Secretary of State Kris Kobach checked it out.

SOURCE: Compiled (rom AP wire reports AP Children, adults cope with news 'Today, our nation saw evil' By David Crary and Jerry Schwartz AP National Writers NEW YORK — In the most devastating terrorist onslaught ever waged against the United States, knife-wielding hijackers crashed two airliners into the World Trade Center on Tuesday, toppling its twin 110-story towers. The deadly calamity was witnessed on televisions across the world as another plane slammed into the Pentagon, and a fourth crashed outside Pittsburgh. "Today, our nation saw evil," President Bush said in an address to the nation Tuesday night. He said thousands of lives were "suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror." Said Adm. Robert J. Natter, commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet: "We have been attacked like we haven't since Pearl Harbor." Establishing the U.S. death toll could take weeks. The four airliners alone had 266 people aboard and there were no known survivors. In addition, a firefighters union official said he feared an estimated 200 firefighters had died in rescue efforts. Dozens of police officers were believed missing. No one took responsibility for the attacks that rocked the seats of finance and government, but federal authorities identified Osama bin Laden — who has been given asylum by Afghanistan's Taliban rulers — as the prime suspect. Aided by an intercept of communications between his supporters and harrowing cell phone calls from at least one flight attendant and two passengers aboard the jetliners before they crashed, U.S. officials began assembling a case Unking bin Laden to the devastation. U.S. inteUigence intercepted communications between bin Laden supporters discussing the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, according to Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, the top Repubhcan on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The people aboard planes who managed to make cell phone calls each described similar circumstances: They indicated the hijackers were armed with knives, in some cases stabbing flight attendants. They then took control of the planes. At the World Trade Center, the dead and the doomed plummeted from the skyscrapers, among them a man and woman holding hands. "Freedom itself was attacked this morning, and I assure you freedom will be defended," said Bush, who was in Florida at the time of the catastrophe. As a security measure, he was shuttled to a Strategic Air Command bunker in Nebraska before leaving for Washington. "Make no mistake," he said. "The United States will hunt down and pursue those responsible for these cowardly actions."

A Little Point
The Bible - the greatest work of fiction ever? I think not.
I believe, of course, that some parts of it are imagery. For example, Genesis. I'm not entirely sure that it should all be taken literally. And Revelation, too. I mean, dragons?
But I believe the rest of it - that Jesus lived and died and rose again, that God created the world, yada yada.
Proof -
There is historical evidence that Jesus lived. There is historical evidence that he died. Most people believe that around the year 0 there was a guy called Jesus who was born, and then about thirty years later was crucified by the Romans.
The bit they have a problem with is the resurrection. But I'm not entirely sure why.
We say it's impossible. Tell someone 2000 years ago that humans would be able to fly from one place to another, and talk to people in Australia without moving, and all the things that modern technology can do - what would they have said? That it was impossible?
Then think about it. 2000 years from now, perhaps they'll be laughing at the fact we thought the Resurrection was impossible. It's quite likely.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not one of these people that says that Jesus was a time traveller. (However, I do believe that as God he was outside of time, and so could manipulate it at his will).
But it's obvious - to anyone with an open mind - that he was just a little bit ahead of us, in wisdom and knowledge. Perhaps he knew about resurrection because he'd already planned out the life of the person who would make the discoveries that would make it possible, 2000 years from now.
Okay, this sounds mad. I'm just gonna shut up.
But think about it, please.
Isn't our technology today just as strange?

Join Us For Lunch
There are so many different varieties of flowers in bloom on the upper section of the Alum Cave trail. I found a patch of pink turtleheads that were magnificent. We had another perfect day on the mountain. A high of 60 with a low of 42. Blue skies were in abundance. If you only have a day, you should hike up and join us for lunch. Call our office at 865-429-5704 and make a reservation for our hot lunch on the mountain. It is a great time of the year to visit the lodge.

We hit the trail early on Monday just so we could enjoy lunch and see the llamas. We had a fine lunch of a chicken salad sandwich, (cheese and pb&j are options), cream of potato soup (they had tomato back in April) and a chocolate oatmeal cookie. A wonderful meal for only $9 and you can't beat the view!

I have a backlog of React submissions, so I thought I'd work through them rather than spacing them out over a few weeks. First, React Component Playground (GitHub: FormidableLabs/component-playground, License: MIT, npm: component-playground) by Ken Wheeler is a React component that allows you to edit a React component with a live preview. You can try it out on the project's homepage -- see the button example near the top.
Normally with React/Angular/etc. you're constantly waiting for the build/refresh cycle, but with this project you can experiment a little bit to get results more quickly. As the example suggests, this is useful when working with React styles.
The same author also wrote nuka-carousel (GitHub: kenwheeler/nuka-carousel, License: MIT, npm: nuka-carousel), which is a React carousel component.
If you're looking for a fun React Native project, then check out Ivan Starkov's react-native-fish (GitHub: istarkov/react-native-fish). It's a graphical experiment that generates a trial of objects that looks like a fish. It's pure JavaScript and doesn't use any images.
It's interesting to see how React Native can be used to draw abstract things that aren't NSWhateverViews. I noticed that it uses arrays from the gl-matrix module, and immutable.

There were four of us. We were boys on a mission of discovery. For more than a year, we had been trying to solve a mystery.
We were as silent as mice as we hid behind the trees on the west side of the church parking lot.
The early dark of the evening aided us in hiding. Any minute we knew we would see them.
Jack had seen them go over and had called the rest of us to watch.
It was only a matter of time before they came back.
They never stayed all that long, and they always came back.
Itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, fatigue, these are just a few of the signs of seasonal allergies — also known as hay fever.
And get ready: It looks like we may have a real doozy of an allergy season this year.
Milder winter temperatures in places can cause plants to pollinate early. And a rainier spring leads to quick plant growth, as well as an increase in mold.
Allergic reactions mostly occur when your body responds to a "false alarm."

Duluth, MN (OpEdNews) January 17, 2011: My favorite author is the American cultural historian Walter J. Ong, S.J. (1912-2003). When I had the honor of serving as the senior editor of the 600-page anthology of his writings titled AN ONG READER: CHALLENGES FOR FURTHER STUDY (Hampton Press, 2002), I selected his 1962 essay "The Barbarian Within: Outsiders Inside Society Today" to be one of the twenty-eight selections in the book (pages 277-300).
As the title indicates, Ong works with the ancient Greek contrast of Greek/barbarian. Other ancient contrasts involving an in-group and an out-group include Jew/gentile and Christian/pagan. Whenever people organize themselves into a group with a group identity, they set up a contrast between themselves as members of the group and other people who are not members of the group, the out-group, outsiders. Thus for each group formed, there will be an out-group of non-members.
Ong was amused by what he styles "the assembly-line beatnik" (page 280), As he points out, commercial outlets were advertising certain products that Americans could buy so that they could become beatniks, at least in their own imaginations. But beatniks were supposedly the out-group, not the in-group. But Ong does not explore who the members of the in-group were supposed to be, except to note that they were regarded as "squares." So we had the beatniks/squares contrast. By contrast with the squares, the beatniks fancied themselves to be "way out." Thus they imagined themselves to be the out-group. But their way of thinking of themselves as the out-group reverses the more conventional way of thinking in which the ascendant group fancies itself to be the in-group. For example, Greeks defined the outsiders as barbarians (i.e., non-Greeks); Jews defined the outsiders as gentiles (i.e., non-Jews); and Christians defined outsiders as pagans (i.e., non-Christians). But paradoxically, in the 1950s and 1960s, beatniks defined themselves as the outsiders, the out-group. Conversely, they defined squares as the in-group.
Even though Ong continued to publish essays and books almost up to the time of his death at the age of 90 in 2003, he did not return to exploring further the theme of outsiders inside American society as it developed over the 40 years or so after the publication of his essay on this theme in 1962.
As amusing as the assembly-line outsiders seemed to Ong in the early 1960s, the themes of being outsiders supposedly caught on big time among white middle-class Americans. In A NATION OF OUTSIDERS: HOW THE WHITE MIDDLE CLASS FELL IN LOVE WITH REBELLION IN POSTWAR AMERICA (Oxford University Press, 2011), Grace Elizabeth Hale, who is herself a white woman in history at the University of Virginia, shows that across a wide spectrum of white people, it became fashionable for middle-class whites to think of themselves as outsiders. She shows how a wide array of American groups defined themselves as outsiders, as though there were an assembly-line that somehow kept turning out white middle-class outsiders. Of course these supposed outsiders often formed interest groups that competing with one another. Nevertheless, the members of each group nurtured the group's self-identity as outsiders.
For example, in the abortion debate, the anti-abortion people imagined themselves as the outsiders because the 1973 Supreme court ruling in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States. They were against legalized abortion, so they considered themselves to be the outsiders with the law of the land representing the supposed insiders.
But the defenders of legalized abortion focused on the tradition of patriarchy that the 1973 ruling overturned. For the defenders of legalized abortion, the anti-abortion people represent patriarchy. Thus the defenders of legalized abortion stood outside the patriarchy and so they fancied themselves to be outsiders.
William F. Buckley, Jr., spearheaded the formation of radical conservatives who saw themselves as outsiders against big government as represented by the New Deal. To this day, radical conservatives fancy themselves to be outsiders against big government and New Deal liberalism, even though the deregulation policies they advocate benefit Wall Street insiders and the super rich.
Tom Hayden and others formed the New Left as outsiders against the old liberalism of the New Deal. For the New Left, New Deal liberals such as President John F. Kennedy represented the supposed in-group against which they are working.
And so on. To be sure, each different group that fancies itself to be a group of outsiders also fancies non-group-members as the supposed in-group against which they are pitted. It appears to be extremely fashionable for middle-class whites to fancy themselves to be outsiders, even though they are arguably the privileged beneficiaries for whom the American socioeconomic system has worked reasonably well, at least when they are compared with the poor.
The American socioeconomic system has not worked so well for many other Americans, especially not for poor African Americans and poor Mexican Americans. Thus the poor would seem to have the most natural claim on seeing themselves as outsiders, not white middle-class Americans.
However, instead of the poor benefiting as a result of the widespread popularity of outsider imagery in American culture during the past 60 years or so, we have seen the great expansion of income inequality over roughly the last 40 years in the United States. QUESTION: Has the widespread popularity of outsider imagery among white middle-class Americans contributed to the development of income inequality? It seems so.
In their book WINNER-TAKE-ALL POLITICS: HOW WASHINGTON MADE THE RICH RICHER AND TURNED ITS BACK ON THE MIDDLE CLASS [and on the lower class as well] (Simon & Schuster, 2010), two young political scientists, Jacob S. Hacker of Yale and Paul Pierson of Berkeley, have examined in great detail the political and legislative developments that produced the great expansion of income inequality over roughly the last 30 years or so in the United States.
Because of their strong interest in redistributing material wealth through legislative interventions, Hacker and Pierson work with the terms "nonmaterial" issues/grounds and "postmaterialist" to characterize various issues that would do little to help redistribute material wealth to the middle class and lower class.
For example, they characterize both pro-choice and pro-life advocates as being concerned with nonmaterial issues. Regarding nonmaterial issues, the authors' neutrality about them can be summed up in their rather crudely worded statement, "We have no dog in this fight" (page 204). Other nonmaterial issues include affirmative action, women's rights, civil rights, and environmental concerns, which the authors see as upper-middle-class issues that would do little to help redistribute material wealth to the middle class and lower class. In plain English, "the Democrats lost their capacity to speak of the economic concerns of the little guy" (page 184).
Even though I understand their terminology about the little guy, I myself prefer to refer to the poor. Nevertheless, I agree with their analysis: The emphasis on nonmaterial issues, important as they may be in and of themselves, undoubtedly contributed to the neglect of the poor in the Democratic party. In addition, I would suggest that the outsider imagery that usually went hand-in-glove with the advocacy of nonmaterialist issues contributed to and compounded the Democratic party's neglect of the poor.

DetailsInstallation instructions:
To ensure proper thread engagement and accurate torque readings, clean ALL threads in the block (ideally with a thread chaser or tap).
Clean and inspect all hardware prior to installation. Look for obvious defects or shipping damages, plus proper fit, length and dimension.
Screw studs into the block "HAND TIGHT ONLY". NOTE: LOCTITE MAY BE USED IF A PERMANENT MOUNTING OF THE STUDS IS PREFERRED. THE FASTENERS, HOWEVER, MUST BE TORQUED PRIOR TO THE LOCTITE SETTING UP.
Install the cylinder head and check for binding or misalignment.
Lubricate the stud threads, nuts and washers with ARP ULTRA-TORQUE FASTENER ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT. Then install the washers and the nuts onto the studs and tighten them hand tight.
ARP recommends using the ARP ULTRA-TORQUE FASTENER ASSEMBLY LUBRICANT that is provided with each kit as opposed to engine oil. This is due to higher friction on the studs as well as inconsistencies in the clamping force of the fasteners when engine oil or other low quality lubricants are used.PRELOAD (TORQUE) RECOMMENDATIONS:

Green Locus Yoga
Melissa's story
Hi there! I grew up in Chicago and Tampa. I love working…..I like relaxing and traveling too but when I have meaningful work I enjoy it. I started babysitting when I was 12 and worked in hospitality to buy my first car then support myself through college. I joined the Army Reserves at 20 and since then have been traveling around the world. I worked in finance for 7 years before opening my own yoga studio.
I like to work but I also love to enjoy life. My dream is to retire by the time I'm 40 so I can travel, relax, and only pursue business opportunities that help others. I'm grateful to my husband and my 2 dogs who have kept me grounded on the tough days of being an entrepreneur.
This loan is special because:
Kiva staff
More about this loan
Business Description
Green Locus Yoga has been opened for about 3 years now and we offer yoga classes in the Westchase community in Tampa, Florida. Our customers are typically in our surrounding area but we also have teacher trainings that bring people in from around the state.
We are expanding and relocating but paying the same for rent in a bigger spot! 🙂 With the expansion, we will have more space for our growing classes and increase services such as private yoga sessions which we don't have space for right now. We also want to share the space with other health and wellness practitioners.
I am most proud of having a business that survived and thrived. I'm ready to take it to the next level.
What is the purpose of this loan?
My current lease is up and we are expanding into a new and better priced space with better exposure. While our rent will be the same and even be waived for a few months we need some initial help moving. The money will be spent on paying our deposit and some minor renovation. Additionally, we would like to do a small marketing campaign and ramp up our inventory in the new space.
This loan will help us move into larger space to accommodate more students and expand our private yoga classes which we get requests for but cannot accommodate due to our space. We will have the ability to get more referrals and income from renting out extra space for other wellness professionals. While we are asking for a 36 month period, we are hoping to pay the loan back within a year for the increased revenues and decreased expenses.
This move will be a game changer for my business and my family. Beginners mistake: I had a bad location and an overpriced lease (almost double what the comps are) with excess CAM charges every year. This move will be able to take my business from breaking evening or making a small profit against bad odd to being able to support myself and hire more people. We'll also be able to help more students with more exposure. Since we've opened, we've had people tell us health problems have began to ease or disappear, stress levels decrease, depression fade, and they love the community they can come to everyday.

In a country cursed by one of the world's highest murder rates, being a white farmer makes a violent death an even higher risk.
Whether attacks have been motivated by race or robbery, a rising death rate from rural homicides is drawing attention to the lack of change on South Africa's farms nearly two decades after the end of apartheid - and to the tensions burgeoning over enduring racial inequality.
Some of South Africa's predominantly white commercial farmers go as far as to brand the farm killings a genocide.
On the other side of the divide, populists are seizing on the discontent among the black majority to demand a forced redistribution of white-owned farms along the lines of neighbouring Zimbabwe.
"The issue is potentially explosive," said Lechesa Tsenoli, deputy minister for land reform, arguing that South Africa's future depends on ending inequality on the farms.
The economic change promised by Nelson Mandela's African National Congress (ANC) when white-minority rule ended in 1994 has been even slower in the countryside than in cities and mines, where at least small elites of black South Africans have prospered.
Land ownership ratios are little changed from 1913, when the Natives' Land Act set aside 87 per cent of land for whites. Meanwhile, black farm workers are among South Africa's poorest.
Life is getting more uncomfortable for the white farmers too, however. Their number is down a third, to some 40,000, in the past 15 years. Headlines about the farm killings are another incentive to sell up.
For while South Africa's overall annual murder rate has more than halved since the end of apartheid to around 32 people per 100,000, figures for commercial farmers show a near 50 per cent rise to an average rate of some 290 per 100,000 a year in the five years to 2011.
Shot at his home by black attackers two years ago, 34-year-old Johan Scholtz believes he was the victim of a racially motivated attack rather than a robbery.
"I was shot through my neck, I was shot through my chest and as I fell to the ground they came and stood over me and they shot again - two times - just missed my brain," Scholtz said, fighting back tears as he recalled the incident.
"My sheep were there around the house, they could've taken the sheep. My house was open, they could've easily gone in. But they left with nothing," he said, adding that the family did not own much worth stealing.
Scholtz now keeps a baseball bat by his bed at his livestock farm in Ermelo, in the undulating veld some 230km east of Johannesburg. He is asking himself how long he will stay in the business.
Despite the ANC's pledge to build a "rainbow nation", South Africa's income disparity - which had already been among the top few in the world - has widened further since apartheid ended, according to World Bank figures.
Among the very poorest are the black farm workers, suffering not only from the economic hardship, but - all too often - a brand of racial abuse unchanged since the end of white rule.
"For farm workers at the bottom like me, we are not allowed to talk to farm owners directly," complained one 28-year-old fruit farm worker from the northeastern Limpopo province, asking that he be called only by his first name, Frans.
"The farmers disrespect us to a point they would use the 'K-word'," he said. The "K-word" is "kaffir", apartheid-era slang for a black person and highly offensive.
While wages for most workers have increased steadily since apartheid, they have risen more slowly for farm workers - who earn only 10 to 30 per cent of a typical factory worker's wage. About half those in rural areas live on less than NZ$3.60 a day.
Anger has boiled over in violent strikes in recent weeks in the Cape Town wine region, where thousands of farm workers demand a doubling in wages from about 70 rand (NZ$9.64) a day.
The motive for nearly 90 per cent of farm attacks was robbery rather than race, according to the biggest government study on the subject, published nearly a decade ago.
"There might be segments within the South African population that would like to use words such as genocide, but farm attacks are a result of criminal activities," said Andre Botha of Agri SA, the largest farmers' union, which points out that the small number of black commercial farmers are also victims of crime.
"It's an obvious result of the lifestyle that we chose. Farms are a soft target," he said.
Disentangling motives is no easy task, however, in a society where whites have the vast majority of the wealth on display and the history of discrimination can add another edge to attacks on isolated homesteads.
"Sometimes it degenerates into racial conflict," said Johan Burger of the Institute for Security Studies, who has been studying farm violence for more than a decade.
When white supremacist leader Eugene Terre'blanche was hacked to death by two farm workers in 2010, racial motives were suspected, but it turned out to have been caused by a wage dispute.
The racial discontent on the farms has also become an element in the political equation at a time of tensions over wildcat mineworkers' strikes and factional struggles within the ruling ANC.
Before being told to stop by the courts, populist leader Julius Malema stirred up crowds with his singing of "Shoot the Boer" - deepening unease among whites in a country where the Afrikaans word for farmer is synonymous with the people who make up most of the 10 per cent white minority.
Although the ANC has decided to drop the apartheid-era song after firing Malema as its youth leader, the affair has pushed race further onto the political agenda.
AfriForum, a vocal advocacy group for Afrikaans-speakers - who descend mostly from Dutch and French settlers - blames the song in part for the rise in crimes against farmers as it catalogues murders, rapes and other attacks.
"The amount of violence is horrific," said AfriForum's Ernst Roets.
Meanwhile, Malema and the ANC's youth wing are demanding that white-owned land be turned over to black South Africans.
For radicals, Zimbabwe's experience set a good example to follow - even though the forced seizures of land helped push South Africa's neighbour into nearly a decade of economic decline.
According to a plan drawn up under Mandela, 30 percent of farmland was meant to be handed to black South Africans by 2014. Only 8 per cent has been transferred, however, and the government is now reviewing the plan.
The direct economic impact of any radical change in land ownership might be less dramatic in South Africa than in Zimbabwe because farming accounts for only about 3 per cent of gross domestic product rather than 20 per cent.
But no matter how it is addressed, the potential for growing confrontation over race and land raises another dangerous prospect for Africa's biggest economy.

Found on the Web: Husker Du in 1981!!
posted by Tom Moon on March 24, 2009 at 5:41 pm
in Husker Du, hardcore, 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis, "Diane."
An early glimmer of greatness from Husker Du.
This live performance, recorded at the Minneapolis band's "home" club the 7th Street Entry in September of 1981, suggests that even in its earliest days, this intense three-piece was more than another flailing hardcore band. Written and sung by drummer Grant Hart, the song follows the eerie internal thoughts of a psycho killer as he goes about his grim business – it was inspired by a murder in the band's hometown – and was one highlight from the band's 1983 EP Metal Circus. This version, recorded two years earlier, catches every contradictory element of Husker Du in nascent, highly concentrated form: Here's an abrasive guitar assault in support of an unexpectedly wrenching narrative, brutal power crossed with a glimmer of '60s garage-pop hookcraft.
Discuss: At what point did Husker Du peak?

On vinyl, I'd say Husker Du peaked with Zen Arcade, but live I think it was the Land Speed Record era. Although there's very little between 1981 and 1985 that isn't absolutely stellar.
GREAT video find.
#2 from Shane, Nashville - 03/25/2009 11:26
My introduction to Husker Du was "New Day Rising". What a great band. They were so much more than just a punk rock band
#3 from juan duque, Medellín, Colombia - 03/27/2009 7:35
For me, they had two peaks for each of two sides to the band.
The first was "Land Speed Record", which captured the barely control mayhem of their hardcore years.
The second, "Warehouse", which displayed the maturity that their songwriting achieved, particularly B Mould's.
#4 from dsfs - 03/30/2009 7:38
How can Zen Arcade not be there best??
#5 from Tom Moon - 03/30/2009 6:53
Gotta say one of the biggest surprises for me was rediscovering Warehouse. It's an uneven record and doesn't always sound great but the songwriting is stunning! if you gave up on "late" Husker Du, it's worth revisiting…

I was just served foreclosure papers. now what.. I know I have to go to court, but when shoulkd i get a lawyer invloved. thanks.
I will also be looking for an attorney specializing in this field.
This is an ideal time for you to consult with a foreclosure attorney. Reason being that an attorney can best assist you when he or she becomes involved in the case early. The summons tells you that you must answer or otherwise plead to the complaint within 30 days from service or be subject to a default judgment. An attorney can assist you with answering or filing a motion to dismiss to the complaint. Otherwise, your answer and defenses, and whether to file a motion to dismiss, will depend upon your individual circumstances and your loan. Provide your attorney with all closing documents, correspondence from the bank, and loan modification documents that you have. Our office is experienced in foreclosure defense and feel free to give us a call: (630) 575-8181.

Most attys are available for a free 15-30 minute consult. Get your papers together and GO to see one, Nao.
I specialize in this area. Please visit my site and read a blot post I wrote that may answer some of your questions:

Hire an attorney now. A good attorney can litigate the case for up to three years while you remain in the property. Happy to discuss with you, free of charge.
J. Younes
I encourage you to sit down with an attorney and all relevant documents to discuss, as soon as possible.
It may be that a motion should be filed at this stage, in lieu of an answer.
Does the plaintiff have standing to sue?
Was an acceleration notice sent (if required under the loan documents)?
Is this a Federal Housing Administration loan and, if so, has there been compliance with those requirements?
Are a copy of the note and a copy of the mortgage attached to the complaint?
Have there been any violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act?
Or the Truth in Lending Act?
If you are trying to work with the bank, that may affect how you are going to proceed in the foreclosure litigation.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

It is important to consult with an experienced bankruptcy and foreclosure defense attorney as soon as possible. You need to discuss your goals, such as whether you want to remain in the house, and catch up in the payments, or just "buy time" and eventually move out. You can then decide whether bankruptcy, defending the foreclosure, short sale, or a combination of any of those are best for you.
In some situations, defending the foreclosure will accomplish the goal of seeing whether there are true "defenses", and getting additional time to stay in the property. In other cases, if you intend on catching up in the payments, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help.
It is best to set up a consultation with an attorney who can advise you on all of your options.

Any advice given is general in nature and cannot be relied upon until the client retains the attorney after a full interview and review of the facts of the situation. No attorney-client relationship exists until a retainer agreement is signed and fees are paid.Ask a similar question
I agree. Especially with finding an attorney that knows foreclosure and bankruptcy law. Make sure you do this asap, and before a default judgment is entered. Good Luck.Ask a similar question

FS - Chapter Six (part one)Mature
Chapter Six
I looked up in surprise at the voice and saw a guy who looked mostly human smoking a cigarette, or whatever the alien equivalent of one was. Hey, maybe it was weed, how the hell was I to know?
"You ain't too good at concentrating are you?" he asked and I realised I'd completely blanked him.
"Sorry," I mumbled.
"You want me to show you out or what?" he asked and I nodded, murmuring my thanks. While I was walking with him I figured I may as well take a look at him. He had long black hair that was pulled into a tie at the back and freakishly white skin. It had been kinda shadwoy before so I hadn't noticed, but under the stark white lights of what I assume is a main corridor, it stood out clearly. His fingers were stained black and sharp. He was dressed in a long jacket and simple trousers. Nothing fancy or out of this world, except maybe the strange mark on his forehead.
"So, who are you?" I asked, trying and failing to sound casual.
"I'm Leonard, only here because of the dumb council meeting. I don't understand the point in them. Everyone argues and nothing gets done," He replied.
"Wait...are you royalty as well?" I asked and he scoffs.
"Maybe the Drac hold onto those primitive ideals, but the Ley? Not so much. We have a group of officials, each time someone different is elected to go. My dads one of them and I get dragged so I can attempt to make a name for myself and join the group when dad retires. Of course not my first choice of how I'd live, but my dads annoying that way," Leonard ranted and I resisted the urge to ask who the Ley were. They weren't a species I'd ever encountered. Most I'd seen were much more visible different.
"Here you go, enjoy the air. And since you asked, I'll ask. Whys a human here?"
"I came with Arik from Earth...Argon attacked it," I replied. He gave me a stunned look.
"As in the missing prince Arik?" He asked, closing the space between us a little too quickly for my liking.
"Not that Earth being attacked isn't a sad thing, but the prince? That's one big deal, how did you know all this time and not say anything? What's he even like? Does he look like his sister?" he ranted and I struggled to keep track of his questions whilst feel rightly offended by his disregard for my own race.
"Stop!" I yelled and he mined zipping his lips.
"I didn't know until today, and he's a lying, immature prate as far as I'm concerned right now. And he only looks like Cera in the green scaly skin sense from what I can tell," I replied, answering the questions in order.
"Now can you go, I kind of wanted out for the peace and quiet," I said. He opened his mouth to ask what I guess was another question but thought better of it. I wouldn't be surprised if I looked ready to tear his throat out.
"See you around Human," He yelled as he left.
"My name's Erika," I yelled in response, though I doubt he paid it any attention. I turned away from the white building and saw a field full of dark green plants, it looked similar to grass, but it was thicker and softer to the touch. On the other side of the field was some trees and bushes. Though the pale blue berries on the bushes weren't something I recognised. The trees bark was more a pale green than the brown we had on earth, which I guess made sense considering how much Arik would climb in amongst the trees. I took another step and heard a crisp crunch. When I looked down I realised the purple I'd seen were fallen leaves. Was it their autumn maybe? I wondered what colour they were normally if they turned dark purple on dying. The sound of nearing footsteps made me turn around.

I'm now a contributing editor for TechNet Magazine. Everyone with a TechNet subscription automatically receives it; if you don't have one, you can still get the magazine free. The magazine's published three issues so far: Winter 2005, Spring 2005, and November-December 2005. You'll especially enjoy the "Hacking" series in the first issue, where Jesper writes up his "Anatomy of a hack" conference session that always seems to score a hundredth of a point or so higher than me! (LOL) Good news: the magazine is increasing its frequency; it'll be bimonthly through June 2006, then monthly after that.
Anyway, in the November-December 2005 issue, I've co-written (note I don't say "co-authored"; "author" is not a verb!) with Kathryn Tewson an article on wireless security for the Security Watch column. We describe the threat, some wireless security basics, how not to secure a wireless network (hint: bogus advice regarding SSIDs and MAC addresses figures prominently here), and details on access control and encryption. We also describe three common scenarios.
Read through the article for information on the various technologies and our recommendations — which is pretty simple these days: WPA or WPA2 are really the only logical choices. While you're at it, subscribe to the magazine, too. I think you'll enjoy it. Look for more articles of mine in the magazine over time; for the January-February 2006 issue, I'll have an article describing VPN quarantine (just sent it to the editors today, actually).

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have tried to cash surrender 3 policies my father bought for my kids. He was An agent for the K of C. He retired 18 ago and has sinced passed away. They are whole life policies and I think a term policy and an investment fund is better .
I spoke with a general agent on line she did not work just for K of C but several insurance companies. she emailed me forms and I sent them in. K of C sent me other forms I had to fill out. I sent them in and they were the wrong forms. they sent me several new forms.
I called a local K of C office twice.An agent came out and filled out the forms. I sent them in 4 weeks later when nothing came in the mail I called K of C. I was told the forms I sent in were the wrong ones.
I was told I needed a hold harmless form. I told the lady that the forms I sent in were hold hamless and I told her I had the carbon copies. She then said they needed to be notorized.I told her the form stated "AN AGENT OR NOTORY"
Now I was very upset three times they sent forms and I do what they tell me to do. I get an agent to fill out the forms and Im told he was new and did not know what he was doing. I did get very upset and not getting anywhere I asked to speak to her supervisor. she refused and hung up me.
It is four months later and I get a letter stating since I am not taking any action to cash in the policies loans against the cash value were taken out of the policies and they were reinstated
I am trying for the fourth time to cash these policies in lets see what happens Im sure glad my father Is around to see how policiy holders are treated. He made a good living by word of mouth referrals.

Flat roof headache
I have never known a flat roof that didnt leak at some point. And yet knowing that I bought an older house that has a flat roof. The original house has a normal gabled roof. At some point in history smoone came along and added anew room. they scabed on to the side of the house and added the room with a low pithc (it raly int flat but for our pourposes it is.) roof. It is 12 feet out with a 6 inch drop from tie on to outside edge. fourty feet long. They put regular asphault shingles on the gabled roof and asphault rool roofing on the flat roof. It has leaked and I have got onto the roof and look and looked for a place that it could possibly be leaking and I cannot find anything to save my life. I am not a green horn at roofing but I am not a master roofer. I put on some roof coating over the whole flat roof area and lifted up the shingles where it transitions from gable to flat and coated that area also. Short of rebuilding the whole roof and making all a gabled roof what kind of suggestions does anyone have?
For one,a roof is only as good as the installation.There is nothing wrong at all with flat roofs,if done right.What type of roll roofing?If you could post pics it would give us a better insight on the situation.If it is just a cheap roll roofing ie:90lb mineral surfaced nailed and gummed down,tear it off and re-do its garbage.I suspect though it is the transition,the "rolled roofing"should extend IMO 18-24" up the pitched roof.Are there any protrusions on the low-sloped section?Pics would help if you could post a few,anyways don't be turned off of flat roofs,if installed right they never leak until the lifespan of the product has expired.Have a good day-John:)
Thank you for replying John. I Will get some pics for you. It will just take another day or two to do that because I Have to use the computer at work for this type of thing. T he roll roofing is the same as the shingles. Asphalt. The granules coated on the asphalt type base. The roll roofing is starting to show signs of wear but the shingles look brand new. They were supposedly replaced at the same time (seven years ago) When I take the pics I will look to see how far back the roll roofing goes back underneath the shingles and I will reply when I post the pics.
I check this forum a couple times a day(at least) so I'll wait for your reply.John
Well, if it seems to be made out of the same material as the shingless, it probably is the cheap 90# Roll Roofing, either blind nailed down on the seams that get overlapped and then some mastic applied or the rolls were set in a cold adhesive.
That stuff only lasts about 5 years max anyways, so its done with.
It cracks very easy, especially at slope transition areas, so I would do a hands and knees inspection along the tie-in to the sloped shingle roof.
Exactly. Get a real roof on there ASAP. I might use roll roofing on a dog house but not my house
What would one suggest I replace it with? It is the type Ed the roofer said. I don't like What is on there now. Regardless of what is on there now I need to replace it with something. I do not want to spend a fortune My money is tight now. I believe I can patch it If I could find where it is leaking until I get the money together.
Pictures would help for the proper recommendation for you.
But, a self adhering membrane or an APP Modified Bitumen torch down roof are both good options, but like with anything, if they are not installed right, the best material will not provide good results.
TRG uses a lot of the self adhering material, so when he gets back on the board, he can explain it from first hand experience.
