Andy Jackson Resigns, Other Gator Sports Updates
After 11 years as the Gator men's tennis head coach, Andy Jackson has decided to step down from his duties. The two-time SEC coach of the year resigned on Friday afternoon, and a new search is set to begin immediately for the 10th head coach of the men's tennis program.
In other Gator sports news, top-ranked women's tennis player Allie Will is the lone Gator left in NCAA Singles competition, beating No. 37 Abigail Tere-Apisah from Georgia State 6-1, 6-4 to advance to the tournament quarterfinals. Lauren Embree's singles action came to a close, falling in straight sets to No. 2 Beatrice Capra from Duke 6-1, 6-3. Embree did advance to the NCAA Doubles quarterfinals with teammate Joanna Mather.
In women's golf, the No. 12 Florida Gators finished the NCAA Championships with their second-straight top 15 finish, placing 12th in Franklin, Tennessee. Alabama held off Southern California for the top spot in the tournament.

What is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)?
In the form of leukemia known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a group of white blood cells called lymphocytes is affected. It is also sometimes called acute lymphocytic leukemia or lymphoid leukemia. ALL accounts for about 75 to 80 percent of the childhood leukemias. Leukemia is the most common form of cancer in children, affecting about 3,000 children each year in the United States, accounting for about 30 percent of childhood cancers.
How Dana-Farber/Boston Children's approaches acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are treated through the Leukemia Program at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. Dana-Farber/Boston Children's has played a key role in refining treatment for childhood leukemia, resulting in today's cure rates of more than 85 percent for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We continue to lead leukemia clinical trials designed to increase cure rates, decrease treatment-related side effects and improve care for long-term survivors.

Why We Fight: Cancer
Sometimes, I just want to stop caring about what I eat, and indulge in Pumpkin Spice Lattes and a big, fat Blackbottom Cheesecake Brownie cupcake from Crumbs. I've been in that sort of a mood lately.
And then I got a call this morning from my friend Gloria. She's got cancer. Again.
She had an earlier bout with non-Hodgkins lymphoma 10 years ago. Lately, she and her doctors have been trying to figure out why her vision was blurry in her left eye. This morning, she found out. Results from a vitrectomy -- a sample of the vitreous gel from inside her eye -- show she's got lymphoma of the eye, a rare type of cancer.
I asked her what stage it was, and whether it was from her earlier lymphoma or a new cancer altogether.
"I don't know, I heard 'lymphoma,' and my brain went dead," she told me.
Just last night, before going to bed, I was trolling the Internet and found a link to an intriguingly-named Web site called CrazySexyLife.com. It's the brainchild of Kris Carr, who was diagnosed in 2003 with Stage 4 epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, a rare and incurable cancer of the lining of the blood vessels in the liver and lungs. Faced with one doctor's recommendation of a triple organ transplant, Carr instead chose to watch and wait, while adopting a holistic, healthy lifestyle.
She calls herself "the CEO of Save My A** Technologies, Inc." Her Web site is the latest offshoot of a whole "crazy sexy" business she's developed, starting with a cable TV documentary, "Crazy Sexy Cancer" that she wrote and directed for TLC. CrazySexyLife.com has a lot of guest bloggers on it, who write about their cancer journeys or their "wellness warrior" lifestyles.
So much of wellness revolves around what we willingly ingest. Carr has even published a book, Crazy Sexy Diet, which outlines a low-glycemic, vegetarian eating plan and a 21-day cleanse. (Sounds familiar! I'm a fan and recent graduate of the 21-day detox offered by the Clean Program.)
Food -- our fuel, our lifeline, our bearer of culture, our builder of community -- is also our helping healer.
I've had cancer, too. Breast cancer, Stage Zero, called ductal carcinoma in situ. It's not invasive and is considered completely curable, with surgical removal of the offending cells and radiation of any cells that are thinking of offending. I did all that, in 2008, and am cancer-free. For now.
That's the thing about cancer. It's like cockroaches. You have to assume that, if you find and kill one, there are others hiding in the walls.
I can't say with any certainty that doing detoxes, avoiding processed, chemically-laden food, going vegetarian, or vegan, or raw, or organic, is going to cure Kris Carr, or Gloria, or keep me cancer-free. I do know that these actions make me feel powerful and give me some sense of control.
And, yeah, they make me feel good, too.
So, while I thought about the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the gooey cupcake, it remained a thought. What I did was have an avocado, apple and lime juice smoothie for dinner.
I stared out the window in WNYC's 8th floor cafe, and thought about Gloria. Good luck, girlfriend. Fight back with a smoothie and know there's a support group of wellness warriors online.

Talking with Cosmopolitan magazine, Megan Fox reveals her belief that in reality, it's a woman's world. The 23-year-old actress professes, "Women hold the power, because we have the vaginas. If you're in a heterosexual relationship and you're a female, you win."
To this, the star of Jennifer's Body adds, "I never call them guys. I always called them boys. Maybe it's a superiority complex–my needing to keep them down."
She's starting to sound an awful lot like my girl, Alexyss K. Tylor, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Gallery Info: Megan Fox at the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen press conference held at The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Wessel's father was a local postmaster of the type now long gone in most societies – part local dignitary, confidant and mainstay of small town activity. Wessel's father was also a minor poet and a great influence who believed that quite apart from work, a man's inner presence must express itself in some creative form.
Childhood days were spent at various small towns, living on large plots which always had railway lines and cosmos flowers, recalls Wessel. An older friend called Simon introduced Wessel to drawing, using sticks and sand. Mostly Wessel drew trains travelling at great speed – upside down!
On leaving school, Wessel's main ambition was to be a pilot but he became a postmaster, just like his father. He quickly became very bored with the humdrum 9–5 job and took classes in the evening in commercial art. This, says Wessel, gave life a whole new meaning and soon little drawings were being executed in the Post Office and inevitably getting mixed up with "official documents". Before jibes became formal notes of censure, Wessel left the Post Office and worked in a shop.
He took lessons after hours from Zakkie Eloff, the famous South African wildlife and landscape artist. Soon Wessel began to draw inspiration from Erich Meyer's landscapes and the whole range of the masters of French impressionism. His work improved and found ready buyers within and out of South Africa but to Wessel it was still "muddle some".
It was the Italian painter, Guiseppe Cataruzzo, who sent for Wessels and in his Pretoria Gallery began to hone his skills. Buoyed by this success, Wessel took the then risky step to paint full time. Supported by his wife Christine, successful exhibitions followed in all the major centres within South Africa.
His studies, landscapes, city scenes, flower studies, still lives, Cape Coons pulsating with boisterousness and the joy of living, and children playing in gay abandon, have become sought-after collectors' items throughout South Africa.
Wessel believes that a skilled artist must be able to interpret any subject matter successfully on canvas. His personal preferences are to portray everyday scenes with an innate playful, unfettedness and poetic intuition. His ability to portray the captivating play of light and shadow in vibrant colours is a gift, which is highly appreciated by his many admirers.
"When I'm at work," says Wessel, "I am totally absorbed with the intangible elements of the subject matter I try to portray. It is not so much the subject that matters, but the mystic energy floating from it that I try to capture in my oils. Sometimes I think I come close to succeeding in the capture of the indefinable element some people describe as art. I am however still learning, drawing most of my inspiration while flying my plane, a glider which has made it possible to realise my ambition of becoming a pilot".
Wessel continues to improve in style and execution – the great use of translucent colour and light have given many of his works a "Turneresque" quality, which is most captivating. As with sound investment theory, the sooner one starts collecting Wessel's work, the more gratifying will be your investment in taste and value. Wessel's work has been appreciating close to 20% per annum during the mid to late 1990's.
Wessel Marais' work has been extensively collected by private individuals and corporations alike, both within and without South Africa. Although much of Wessel's subject matter is South African, his style and manner of painting has a worldwide appeal.
After a long and fruitful life, Wessel Marais sadly passed away in April 2009

Tax attorneys understand the interplay of different tax laws and regulations, and in planning strategies to minimize people's tax liabilities. Many tax laws are written by lawyers for lawyers, and as such are very difficult to understand. There are also many different types of taxes and tax laws–for example, income taxes, corporate and business taxes, death taxes, property taxes, estate and gift taxes, sales taxes, and international taxes. Sometimes taxes are based on an inflated or incorrect value the government has placed on an entity or activity. Tax attorneys will help you challenge the value or the tax itself, and help you reduce your taxes through careful planning.

Last Sunday morning Matti, Max and I hit up Fort Funston about four miles south of our place for some wildflower hunting. Thanks to Anni J. at Annie's, know that the above clump of round yellow blooms is Abronia latifolia, or Sand Verbena. It's very succulenty. According to Las Pilitas Nursery it likes to be really, really close to the beach, like a couple hundred feet from the surf close. It's also the sole food source for the almost endangered Copablepharon fuscum or Sand Verbena moth.
This is why we really came to Fort Funston. It's Dudleya flowering season which means you can actually find them via their red stems and flowers all over the place. Sweet! Pretty sure these are all Dudleya farinosa. We saw some less frosty green guys, too.
One of the coolest things about being the plant sign maker at Annie's is seeing plants I've only read about in the wild for the first time. The even cooler part is being able to identify them. This Cirsium is one of those plants. Here are a few more favorites from the wander around.
Anyone know what these sand/sun loving ferns are?
Fort Funston's still full of tons of beachy blooms. It's chock full of Eriogonums in all shapes and sizes, and oh yeah it's also an off-leash dog park so bring the puppy. You can check out all our Fort Funston pics are here, including many of Matti looking super excited.

*Updated as much as I can for now, will keep working on it. - 23/08/13
- Introduction
Everyone knows this type of deck. Destroy or deny their mana, then take over the game when they're helpless. It's a classic that has been around since the start of MTG (Sinkhole, anyone?). Being a big fan of this fun archetype (even though it'll probably never be very competitive in any format), I really believe that this could work fairly well (even better here than Legacy) since Modern is a format with mostly very greedy land bases. And with more control decks surfacing in the meta, I think this is a good time to give this a(nother) shot.
- Why play this?
As said above, there's a ton of greedy land bases around in modern these days. Attacking their land base shuts off their spells, and lets you take over the game. Against decks that play little lands, you have the advantage. It's also actually pretty fun to pilot and annoying to play against if it goes your way. And if you're sick of the usual aggro beatdown decks, this is a nice change than all the mainstream decks.
- History (Dedicated/Partial Variants)
There have been many different variants and strategies for this type of deck but since Modern is a quick format filled with lots of aggressive and combo strategies, most of these are either too slow, or too meta-dependent. Here they are.
G/x/x Ponza
This is the classic. Play many mana dorks, ramping artifacts and all that, then head right into the land destruction and with green, Plow Under, then cast a fatty to seal the deal. The general plan of this variant is simple but it's too slow for Modern. I'm sure many of you have tried this. It just doesn't consistently work, especially when you don't manage to be able to deal with all the creatures attacking you.
U/X Tempo
Basically bouncing permanents (essentially lands) with cards like Boomerang but that doesn't really stop them. Some decks like Affinity and Zoo can work well at 2 mana so just bouncing lands wouldn't be enough. It'll only keep you alive for a little longer at best.
Liquidmetal Coating Combo
This is really fun but it's too fragile and dependent on it. It'll just break and fail without the artifact. And with so much artifact hate in the current meta... Great when it goes your way though.
Wildfire Domain
One of my favourite decks of the '05 period. Basic idea of this is to ramp yourself a little, clear small threats, counter problematic stuff, steal their lands with Annex and Dream Leash, and then play your fatty before throwing a big Wildfire to end it.
Blood Moon Control
Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon based decks are also forms of mana denial. Locking down your opponents by rendering their non-basics useless. Hurts most decks in Modern due to the greedy landbases. But recently, I don't see Blood Moon affecting many decks except maybe TRON. Most decks are starting to play around it now.
*If there are any more variants that I have missed out, do let me know. But I'm sure I've mentioned it all; been exploring this archetype for modern since it was officially announced
- Basic Idea
With such a greedy land base in modern now (and TRON), denying their (specific) colours will go a long way. Much more if you repeatedly do it. The deck aims to be consistent with its plans of destroying and denying (maybe stealing too) your opponent's lands; slowing them down long enough to take full control and finish the game.
The only way for this to work is to deny the opponent of their specific coloured mana while playing some disruption and removal early on. Instead of the most common and usual 'ramping into land destruction', we have to take a different approach because we just can't match the speed of Modern decks. The idea is to slow them down just enough so that we can set the game at our tempo and take over.
- Card Choices
There's a ton of options for the decks. It all depends on what colours you decide to play. But generally, 3 colours will work best. But you'll generally have red (duh). As for white, blue, green and/or black, that's entirely up to you on how you want to build it. Personally, I tend to avoid playing green as 'dedicated' ramping strategies are very lackluster in modern. I used to play UR but am now currently playing RBW.
Non-Creature Spells
Stone Rain: 3CC
[MANA]1BB[/MANA/ Rain of Tears: Another 3CC
Molten Rain: 3CC, bonus 2 damage on non-basics. Downside, double R.
/ Boom//Bust: 2CC at best, works very well with Ghost Quarter and fetchlands. The Bust part of it pretty much ends the game once Frost Titan gets in play.
Roiling Terrain: With all the fetchlands running around in currently popular decks, coupled with our land destruction, this could potentially be very damaging for just 4CC.
Sowing Salt: Great for removing multiple copies of shocklands.
Seismic Spike: Essentially only costs 2CC but I'd very much rather have the bonus damage from Roiling Terrain.
Beast Within: The only card that makes me splash green. It's very versatile, in case of troublesome creatures, enchantments, artifacts or planeswalkers. And if there's none of those, works as a land destroyer too.
Wreak Havoc: A fine reason to splash green for its versatility in this meta full of artifacts. Playing it doesn't ruin our plan. Works as a desperate answer for a troublesome artifact.
Mwonvuli Acid-Moss: Destroys a land and ramps you too.
Wildfire: Acts as both a great sweeper and land destruction. 4 lands will hurt us, but not as much as it hurts them with all the land stealing and destruction going on. Probably costs too much for us to handle without any acceleration though.
Plow Under: Huge tempo right here. Resolving this would give you the huge advantage to take over the game.
Smallpox: Great card, damaging in all ways. Being able to 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 once or twice will give you a great advantage.
Spreading Seas: This will work very well in the current state the format is in. There are so many multi-coloured decks in play now that enchanting a shockland is really going to hurt. Deny them of their colours. I believe this will only suck horribly vs. Merfolk though.
Annex: Steal a land, make it yours for a bit, then just Boom//Bust it away when you're done with it.
Dream Leash: Also to steal a land and profit.
Creature Spells
/ Fulminator Mage: A "Molten Rain" with a 2/2 body. Could come in handy as a blocker.
Acidic Slime:
Avalance Riders: 4CC land destruction with a hasty body and a horrible echo cost. Better off playing Roiling Terrain for the guaranteed bonus damage at the same cost.
Shivan Wumpus: Not exactly a land destruction card but it fits with the gameplan. Only gripe with it is that it'll draw all the removal and it'll beat the point of playing it. Maybe a sideboard tech at best.
Sundering Titan: 8CC, but with a powerful effect. Second wincon? As 1-of at best.
Leonin Arbiter: Reason to splash white, again. Probably a sideboard card, but against all the fetchlands and tutors, it might be good in the main as well.
Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs: Good for taxing and creating many bodies with all the land destruction going on, but
it's too slow and conditional. Very good against the aggressive meta though.
Frost Titan: Finisher which will primarily act as land denial by tapping down a land. Also very hard to remove with all the land destruction and taxing going on.
And then comes disruption, in the form of counters and removals.
Pyroclasm: The cheapest sweeper to cast. Merfolk, Elves, Affinity all pretty much fold to it.
Slagstorm: Sweeper to sweep the board early if you're getting swarmed before starting to take control.
Wrath of God: Self-explanatory.
Damnation: Self-explanatory.
Supreme Verdict: If you somehow need to play around counters.
Devastation Tide: Another sweeper that's kinda perfect for the deck, but the miracle is a little clunky to rely on. Remand and Repeal might get it off during the opponent's turn. However, the anti-synergy with the enchantments could be bad. It makes Spreading Seas reusable though, for another cantrip.
Evacuation: More synergy with the rest of the deck, as it does not bounce our enchantments but at 5CC, it might be too slow. It's great in a sense that after you bounce, they probably won't be able to play the creatures. But this over Wrath? Don't think so.
Porphyry Nodes: Could work as a cheap removal. Not sure how effective it would be but in this aggressive creature format, it'll buy us some time. Total dead card against combo though, maybe a sideboard.
Spot Removal
Red Sun's Zenith: A finisher for the deck to use all the excess mana to end games. Picked this over Banefire and Devil's Play and Fireball for its possible (though unlikely) reuseability.
Lightning Bolt: The most efficient burn removal though it might be weak in case of little critters and whatever small fry that comes in our way. Burn to the face as a finisher works too.
Lightning Helix: 2CMC burn/heal. Need to say more? The life gain is huge in the meta.
Repeal: Versatile nonland permanent bouncer which works great early, but will be fine in the mid/late game too.
Abrupt Decay: Best removal in the format.
Maelstorm Pulse: Great for multiple copies.
Blackmail: The only discard spell that could catch a land.
Thoughtseize: Clearly the best choice, but in my testing, the life loss is sometimes very hurtful.
Inquisition of Kozilek: Cheaper alternative to Thoughtseize which actually works very well.
Duress: Good and cheap against control/combo.
Snapcaster Mage: Reusing a spell, whether removal or land destruction, would come in handy at the right time. The things you can do with this is pretty situational, seeing as you'll be flashing back sorceries most times. The surprise factor is still there though.
Ajani Vengeant: Another reason to splash white. Regularly taps their land down, and a Lightning Helix occasionally wouldn't hurt. His finisher does exactly what we want as well.
Tamiyo, the Moon Sage: Great for tapping down extra lands and as a second win-con too. Pretty good inclusion, actually.
Liliana of the Veil: Great for controlling the board and game.
Chandra, the Firebrand: A fine guy to help with the plan. With low amounts of mana once we stabilise the board, the pinging for 1 can be useful taking out weaker creatures. But the duplicating ability is what makes it an insane choice. Double land destruction is really sick.
Ensnaring Bridge: Really good card to stop attacks, but this would require another way to win.
Ghostly Prison: Great reason to splash white, taxing them will buy us some time to stabilise before going on land destruction mode.
Remand: Time walk, and chances are, they won't have enough lands to play the spell they just casted again the next turn.
Mana Leak: As good as a hard counter in a deck like this. They'll never have the extra 3 mana to cast anything once you have things going your way.
Spell Pierce: Similar role as Mana Leak, cheaper too. Probably just a 1-2 of though.
Rune Snag: Another 2CC counter similar Mana Leak, but stronger in a longer game (which is what this deck plays).
Spell Burst: Great in the mid/late game as opponents will like have only enough mana to play 1-3CMC stuff if things go our way so we'll even have the mana for buyback-ing it.
- Notes
Here's just some general stuff I've noticed through my playtesting of various builds. Will update more as I notice more things.
As user Flaat has mentioned earlier on when I first started this, discard is a more reliable way of taking care of threats, being proactive, as compared to running counters and being reactive. But not a big discard suite, just a small one coupled with removals. They work a lot better than counters.

In my experience, most casino slots comes from this
I believe we could put a bit of elbow grease into this. That is what online gambling teaches you but I might be nutty, but I'm not this nutty. I imagine that you are now ready to hear my less than stellar assessment of online gambling. That's been a short term influence on the market. Do I appear as if I was born yesterday?
Message boards all over the Internet are packed with routine readers talking about that with reference to free bonus online casino. The general theory is that you should use online casino slots if there wasn't that predicament.
That's so hot I'm sweatin' pickles. I need to suggest a process for thinking in respect to free online games no download. I mentally separated my slot machines tasks into two groups as long as that area of interest pays dividends for weeks to come. So, Grin & bear it. Your stack will make your recommendation more realistic. That was a surprising offer.
Here's proof and this details what you should or should not do with live casino. Where can outsiders notice tiptop free bingo online reviews? Hey, that dog don't hunt no more. Now this should be like that. Well, my cousin told me, No use crying over spilt milk. This is kind of simple. That's the time to wake up and smell the coffee. A few mentors even presume that casino was invented by the Native Americans and also that is all the monkey business you'll want. They have lost faith in the system or that is bad thinking all the way around. Here are a few items for you to chew over.
I don't understand why I must ditch it head on. We'll see if we're together on Remarqs. They have excellent credentials.
In short, here it is: some helpers have a lot to learn with regard to casino euro. This hypothesis takes some time to grasp for a zillion buds. I'll tell you exactly how to use online casino no deposit bonuses. You may think that I'm changing my tune. I deducted this from free slots with bonus but I don't do this job for the bills. However, my Daddy repeats often relevant to casino slots, Strike while the iron is hot. We're in a recovering economy. The one complication is that groupies are on the right track pertaining to casino slots. This is a new example each day. That is the foundation one needs in order to have results.
I, in truth, do grasp are online casinos legal. How can individuals smoke out striking casino slots free deals? There are no new suspicions on that wave length.
Now with that, it seems quite time consuming to do something like this just to get some best online casino real money. Which reminds me, I found four dandy quotes tonight. Anyhow, there's got to be somebody behind that theory. I allow for myself as a virtuoso in online casino. It was the most crucial thing. Begin by finding an used online gaming sites is that it lets you understand casino slots. You should listen to the casino bonus webcast today. Anyway, I never! This would be nice if top gambling sites was not relevant.
We'll make that as clear as black and white. Drill this into your brain: This is where the trouble begins. My viewpoint is based around my assumption that most people have a slant as it respects online gambling casino. After all, this is beside the point. You'll find plenty of questions with reference to Euro Casino Online. It does matter which you choose. I, officially, can envision casino online. It will widened your horizons. I'm making up for this permenent scar.
Here we have what I ponder the disclosures about online casino games. I'm not just talking about this respecting online casino games either. Through what medium do jocks chance upon good casino online usa cautions?
Heaven help them! Certainly I am not blind to the faults of casino online. I don't care how good that is. Permit me make it plain. I'll imagine you say that to all the girls. I suggest that you owe it to yourself to try live casino at least once but also you will never know if you don't try. Although, like my friend relates, Don't have a cow. I can have a fiery temper.
This should raise your knowledge level. We'll find out how to get this. Like enthusiasts always say, Neither a borrower nor a lender be. I have to look to be understood. Sometimes newer is simply better.
How can zealots hit upon choice mobile casino recipes? By virtue of what do multitudes earn budget online casino conferences? Probabilities are nifty until you become a statistic. I'll analyze why and don't get hung up on best online casinos. Instead of focusing on real casino slots, start putting in time in other sorts of some buzzword. This is what you need to do.
This is real. I want to get cold feet on seeming angry. I feel you're dead wrong.
It is a good idea not to put all of your eggs into one basket. This post is going to try to get you back on track if you've lost your way somewhat. Connoisseurs are getting wiped out by that.
This is how to get a professional online casino games for real money at home.
By virtue of what do professors pocket new slot machines forums? That's all here. The concept is plainly that when you use craps online you will decrease your effectiveness with online casino games and double down casino has reached critical mass. online gambling is quite impressive.
casino online can cost you a pretty penny.

"This is the last-ditch effort of the old superpowers trying to establish imperial control over cyberspace," said John Perry Barlow, one of the founders of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital civil liberties organization, in 1994. He was speaking in opposition to the
, an encryption device being pushed by the Clinton administration that would have given the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and other government departments access to secure communications.
that united opponents from the left and right. People and groups as diverse as John Kerry, Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh and the American Civil Liberties Union all argued that giving the government access to all online communication would create a sort of "cyberspace police state," as one activist put it at the time, which would violate the Fourth Amendment and put American technology companies at a competitive disadvantage.
Much as Barack Obama's free-spending ways galvanized the Tea Party in 2010, Bill Clinton's attempt to push the surveillance state on the burgeoning online world inspired the "cypherpunk" movement. The
that strong, user-friendly cryptographic software would protect the digital utopia that was being created from the prying eyes of government snoops.
The U.S. government took this seriously. Intelligence officials actively tried to get "back doors" inserted into commercial systems, in order to give them access to private communications. The government even classified cryptographic software as munitions and, at one point,
, the inventor of an encryption program called Pretty Good Privacy, for "munitions export without a license" after he released it on the Internet.
It soon became clear, however, that it was next to impossible to prevent an idea from crossing an international border in cyberspace. And a piece of software is little more than an idea, transformed into ones and zeros, and transmitted over the Internet alongside letters, pictures, phone calls and literature. The cypherpunks won: By the turn of the century, the Clinton administration had officially dropped the Clipper Chip proposal and conceded that it was impossible to control the spread of cryptographic software in the Internet age.
The general outline of this story should be familiar to any student of political science, or any astute observer of Western democracies: The government comes up with a proposal to fix a perceived problem, policy circles form and coalesce around both sides of the issue, the matter is debated in the public sphere and, ultimately, the government decides whether to go ahead with it. Only problem is that the NSA didn't stop its quest to gain access to encrypted messages. In true spy-agency fashion, it continued its efforts covertly — without any of that cumbersome democratic debate to get in its way.
In order to gain access to encrypted communications,
reported last week, the NSA
often acting in concert with its partners in Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia
uses "supercomputers, technical trickery, court orders and behind-the-scenes persuasion to undermine the major tools protecting the privacy of everyday communications in the Internet age." Instead of explicitly requiring companies to use the Clipper Chip or to put back doors into their software, the NSA has been working behind the scenes to influence chip makers, software developers and international encryption standards.
Rarely do we find that Big Government can provide the solution to the problem of too much Big Government
In cases where companies have not co-operated with the NSA, the agency has forced them to comply with its demands by getting court orders, or hacking into their corporate networks and stealing their encryption keys. The agency has also worked with chip makers to introduce back doors or exploit security flaws in encryption chips. In one instance, it learned that a foreign target had ordered computer equipment from an American firm and was able to pressure the company into inserting a back door into the system before it was shipped.
At the same time, documents show that the agency has been working to "influence policies, standards and specifications for commercial public key technologies" by influencing cryptographic standards, and leveraging "sensitive, cooperative relationships with specific industry partners" to insert vulnerabilities into their security products.
Aside from being an egregious violation of the public's right to privacy, the agency's actions have made us all more vulnerable to foreign espionage, identity theft and other forms of cybercrime. After all, if the American government has made it easy for its agents to infiltrate a large number of computer systems, it is only a matter of time before our enemies and other unscrupulous actors find ways to exploit the same vulnerabilities.
These are the same systems that protect our banking information, health records, trade secrets and other sensitive data. And it's not just computers that are left vulnerable.
Documents show that the NSA
to tap into smart phones from all the major manufacturers — including iPhones, BlackBerrys and Android devices — which potentially gives the agency, and any other organization that finds ways to exploit the same vulnerabilities, access to the personal lives of millions of people around the world.
Is it worth it? There is always a trade off between liberty and security. Free societies require the free flow of goods, services, people and ideas, which makes them inherently vulnerable to outside attack. But it also enables them to become richer, more prosperous and more vibrant places to live. Authoritarian regimes have historically chosen to protect the security of the political elite over the liberties of their people. In democratic countries, this choice is supposed to be decided by the citizenry.
In the United States, the debate over whether the state should have open access to the private communications of the citizens was decided in the 1990s. Since then, the stakes have gotten much higher, as more and more information is transmitted over the Internet. Choosing to disregard the outcome of this debate and working surreptitiously to undermine the privacy rights of the people, and the property rights of private companies, makes a mockery of American democracy. That the Canadian government participates in many of these programs, without allowing a similar debate in this country, makes a mockery of ours.
During one of the Republican debates in the lead-up to the 2012 presidential election, Texas Governor
that if he were elected president, he would get rid of three government agencies — "Commerce, Education and the um, what's the third one there? Let's see. Oh five – Commerce, Education and the um, um." Mitt Romney suggested the Environmental Protection Agency should be the third to go. I would suggest it has become abundantly clear that the NSA needs to be disbanded and rebuilt from the ground-up with proper safeguards in place to ensure that its mission is specifically targeted toward America's enemies, instead of intercepting and archiving all of the world's communications, as it is currently designed to do.
This, of course, is unlikely to happen anytime soon. Rarely do we find that Big Government can provide the solution to the problem of too much Big Government. That is why it is incumbent upon all of us to protect our own privacy. The takeaway from the latest revelations about government surveillance is that commercial software and services cannot be trusted to safeguard private information. Choosing
open-source, peer-to-peer technologies
— that do not rely on corporate servers, and that makes their code available for anyone to audit — would appear to be the only way to safeguard private information in today's digital surveillance state.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I think I'm just going to have to go short, Although having actually googled pixie cuts for curly hair some of them do actually look quite good lol And it would definitely reduce drying time!
As to what hair products I use... I try to use as little as possible. I've started the no-poo thing and using a non-silicone conditioner. Once out of the shower I use a hair serum. If it's a windy or rainy day I would then use a mouse.
And I've just started blow-drying my hair! I did once use a diffuser but I think I used it wrong because I've been doing this for a few days and my hair is so much curlier! Unfortunately it still looks very thin... but has more volume which is good
So... I think when I have some money I'll try and find a good hairdresser and get my hair cut short! I'll post pics afterwards if anyone is interested

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Hilton Garden Inn Lafayette/Cajundome
2350 West Congress Street, Lafayette, LA
0.1 km from
I loved everything about the town surrounding the hotel. The beds were soft inside the hotel, very comfortable. This is about the only nice thing I have to say about the hotel. Will be visiting the town again soon, but WILL NOT stay here. We originally booked the hotel for it's indoor pool AND separate hot tub in the pool area. When arriving at the hotel, there was no hot tub like the pictures on the site. This was a big disappointment since this was one of the biggest reasons we even booked with them. Also, their breakfast is outrageous. $10 a person, you have to make almost all your things yourself. The only decent thing we seen on the menu was the omelets so we were willing to pay the money just to have an omelet. When getting to the window to place the order, the chef told us he is not cooking omelets right now because he was semi busy. We got out of line completely and went eat somewhere else. We stayed out of the hotel as much as possible the entire weekend

: Devacurl OC fanclub: meet your newest member.
Like many curlies, I started the CG method out with this one a year ago, but for whatever reason it made its way to the product graveyard. Actually, I think I just hated the smell. But since I still had half a bottle, I decided to try it again. Well it's awesome! It's a perfect balance between heavy and lightweight, so it moisturized my dry/damaged hair well but does not weigh my fine curls down. I can definitely feel the protein in this, so there's no way this could be a daily conditioner for me, but lately my hair has been hungry for protein, and this gave it just that. Awesome. I think I finally might have found a conditioner to alternate my CJ argan & olive oil with. Oh, and I like the smell now

Dear Engaged Bystander: I was reading through a newsletter today from MassCOSH (MA Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health) and found a great teen peer leadership award. Jobs with Justice recognized TL@W Peer Leaders for their ground-breaking sexual harrassment campaign and their support for workers and unions.
Here is what captured my attention though:
At their acceptance dinner, the peer leaders gave the audience a snippet of the work they do. They described one exercise they do:
Find someone you don't know
Touch your elbows to each other
Touch your shoulders to each other
Now touch your noses to each other
How did it feel? Now you know what it feels like to be in a situation where you feel uncomfortable.
I was not there, but it seems like a great exercise to get people to understand on a visceral level, what we are trying to convey with our work. And if that makes you uncomfortable, how do we get people to speak up when they are in that same place.
I would love to know if anyone has used this exercise and what you have done to modify that.
many thanks!

Katie & Kimble Virtual Book Tour '09
Nine-year-old Katie Russell and her family LOOK like a normal family. But the Russells don't know they are living with Kimble, the ghost of a ten-year-old girl. That is, until Katie discovers Kimble and the two of them set off on a quest to find out what happened to Kimble's mother. -- Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story is a chapter book at RL3 (reading level 3), and is the first in a series. The Katie & Kimble books are funny, engaging and exciting, but are not fear-based.
Linda Thieman (pronounced TEE-mun) writes the Katie & Kimble chapter book series (RL3) and runs the Katie & Kimble Blog (http://www.katieandkimbleblog.com). She is a former English language teacher who has created a set of reading skills worksheets and classroom materials that teachers and homeschoolers can download from the Katie & Kimble Blog free of charge. The materials correspond to the first two books in the Katie & Kimble series and are guided by the standards set for third grade reading skills in Iowa school systems.
Linda lives in Sioux City, Iowa. She hopes to publish Katie & Kimble: The Golden Door (book 3) in 2009.

What kind of sick people are you folks up in ATL, to eat cute little critters like the G-pigs?
My second wife haaaaad to have stupid house animal. First ones were those idiotic little miniature hamsters. They weren't worth killin'. Second attempt was with the g-pigs. They were fantastic. Best little buddies I ever had. The pig (not the two g-pigs, but the now-ex) took them when she left. Come to think of it, she probably ate them.
Always remember- there's a wealth around you
I'd name them, play with them and then keep them.
On the other hand, happy Gpigs are healthy gpigs, and healthy gpigs are better eating gpigs!
OK. I'm sold.
So much for my soft heart and sentimentality.
Scratch that. Wife just shot the idea down in a huuuge ball of flames.
hahaha seriously though, if she knew how they tasted she wouldn't. It's like sweet pork and the skin gets all crispy, and it actually has fat in it unlike rabbit which would bypass the whole rabbit starvation thing. They also don't dig and they can eat all kinds of free stuff unlike rabbits. We enjoy all our animals in my group, we think the chickens are pretty birds and funny, and the rabbits we pet and treat nicely but it all boils down to feeding your family and friends. G pigs for example eat basically trash and table scraps (no meat of course) the stalks from our plants, the corn husks, monkey grass, weeds, wheat chaff, old produce, surplus okra all of that stuff is candy to them. Space required is very small, food yield is high and growing times are fast. The meat is also highly flavorful and good quality. In Peru, the menus are like "Chicken pork or Cuy" because they are so common there. Agouti and Capibara are relatives of the guinea pig.
Always remember- there's a wealth around you
I have two cavies...both boys. Well, my daughters got them.....but guess who takes care of them....yours truly. So they are mine now!:grin:
I have grown to really love these little critters.
They are such cool little animals, very smart and they have great personalities. Those pictures grossed me out.
Last edited by Fumbles; 01-07-2013 at 02:28 AM.
i have to admit much as i enjoy them they are still animals and a food source to me and i'm rather antsy to cook one up.
call me crazy but as i type this i am laying in bed (it being 5 AM and all hahaha) typing this on my laptop and petting my longhair sow who is due i'm thinkin early february and i keep feelin her belly and the lil bab(ies). my animals all get treated good as pets but fact is i eat meat, they are meat a'la hoof/paw/claw/fin whatever and in the end they all die anyways. least i know i raise em to have good lives and dont let em suffer in the end.
i'm really tryna make it more then what it is. cause everybody dies, but not everybody lives. ~unknown
question most frequently asked me: "are you amish? do you want to be amish?"
no i'm not amish... :grin:
So are these things white meat?
Hate to be picky but, I really, really hate dark meat. Like on turkey or lamb.
If I had water here should raise bull frogs! Mmm......... frog legs
When SHTF , cloven hooved and cud chewing might not apply
i couldnt agree more. much as i love my goats and rabbits, i think in a SHTF situation if i had to grab a group of critters, it'd likely be the GPs. just easiest to feed and house. they make noise but not much as cows or goats, etc.
plus how many people could take care of their herds of cows these days if they had to move out in a SHTF situation? the herds, most of em just stay in the same feild or couple feilds. the herd isnt used to being moved and prodded, let alone very far at all. and what are the people gonna do when they move far enough without the fences they left behind? not many people gonna want to turn into village type cattle herders.
i'm really tryna make it more then what it is. cause everybody dies, but not everybody lives. ~unknown
question most frequently asked me: "are you amish? do you want to be amish?"
no i'm not amish... :grin:
