Three Atlantic staffers discuss "Stormborn," the first episode of the seventh season.
Every week for the seventh season of Game of Thrones, three Atlantic staffers will discuss new episodes of the HBO drama. Because no screeners were made available to critics in advance this year, we'll be posting our thoughts in installments.
Spencer Kornhaber: Game of Thrones ended its latest episode with a good-old-fashion pirate ambush, eliminating two out of three of the Sand Snakes and subjecting Theon to a humiliating self-directed walk of the plank. As far as late-episode twists go, Euron Greyjoy's at-sea ambush was a solid one, injecting real suspense and unsettling violence into what had seemed like a straightforward sail. Yet, in the end, it was also a typical Thrones-ian calamity: You'd best bet against the side you want to win.
Thirty-one year old Ezra Cohen-Watnick holds the intelligence portfolio on the National Security Council—but almost everything about him is a mystery.
Just 24 days into his tenure as Donald Trump's national-security adviser, Michael Flynn was forced to resign, having reportedly misled Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Russian officials. When Flynn departed, the men and women he'd appointed to the National Security Council grew nervous about their own jobs, and with good reason. The new national-security adviser, General H.R. McMaster, promptly began clearing out Flynn's people, among them Dave Cattler, the deputy assistant to the president for regional affairs, Adam Lovinger, a strategic affairs analyst on loan from the Pentagon, and KT McFarland, Flynn's deputy, who was eased out with the ambassadorship to Singapore. Even Steve Bannon, among the most powerful people in the White House, was removed from the meetings of the NSC Principal's Committee, where he had been installed early on in the administration.
Many point to unromantic 20-somethings and women's entry into the workforce, but an overlooked factor is the trouble young men have in finding steady, well-paid jobs.
TOKYO—Japan's population is shrinking. For the first time since the government started keeping track more than a century ago, there were fewer than 1 million births last year, as the country's population fell by more than 300,000 people. The blame has long been put on Japan's young people, who are accused of not having enough sex, and on women, who, the narrative goes, put their careers before thoughts of getting married and having a family.
But there's another, simpler explanation for the country's low birth rate, one that has implications for the U.S.: Japan's birth rate may be falling because there are fewer good opportunities for young people, and especially men, in the country's economy. In a country where men are still widely expected to be breadwinners and support families, a lack of good jobs may be creating a class of men who don't marry and have children because they—and their potential partners—know they can't afford to.
Getting too little sleep can have serious health consequences, including depression, weight gain, and heart disease. It is torture. I know.
I awoke in a bed for the first time in days. My joints ached and my eyelids, which had been open for so long, now lay heavy as old hinges above my cheekbones. I wore two pieces of clothing: an assless gown and a plastic bracelet.
I remembered the hallway I had been wheeled down, and the doctor's office where I told the psychiatrist he was the devil, but not this room. I forced myself up and stumbled, grabbing the chair and the bathroom doorknob for balance. I made it to the toilet, then threw water on my face at the sink, staring into the mirror in the little lavatory. My tousled hair shot out around my puffy face; my head throbbed. I looked hungover.
In those first moments, I remembered the basics about what had landed me in the hospital: Some pseudo-philosophical ranting and flailing brought on by a poorly executed experiment to see how long I could last without sleep.
Biology textbooks tell us that lichens are alliances between two organisms—a fungus and an alga. They are wrong.
In 1995, if you had told Toby Spribille that he'd eventually overthrow a scientific idea that's been the stuff of textbooks for 150 years, he would have laughed at you. Back then, his life seemed constrained to a very different path. He was raised in a Montana trailer park, and home-schooled by what he now describes as a "fundamentalist cult." At a young age, he fell in love with science, but had no way of feeding that love. He longed to break away from his roots and get a proper education.
At 19, he got a job at a local forestry service. Within a few years, he had earned enough to leave home. His meager savings and non-existent grades meant that no American university would take him, so Spribille looked to Europe.
Why some progressives are minimizing Russia's election meddling
When it comes to possible collusion with Russia, Donald Trump's most interesting defenders don't reside on the political right. They reside on the political left.
Sean Hannity and Newt Gingrich aren't defending a principle. They're defending a patron. Until recently they were ultra-hawks. Now, to downplay Russia's meddling in the 2016 elections, they sound like ultra-doves. All that matters is supporting their ally in the White House.
For left-wing defenders like Max Blumenthal and Glenn Greenwald, by contrast, ideology is king. Blumenthal and Greenwald loathe Trump. But they loathe hawkish foreign policy more. So they minimize Russia's election meddling to oppose what they see as a new Cold War.
The world has many coming-of-age traditions: sweet sixteens, bar mitzvahs, quinceañeras. But in one African country, 'initiation' is endangering the health of girls and boys.
CHIRADZULU, Malawi — A slight frame gives her the appearance of a child, but the hardened look Grace Mwase wears makes her seem older than her 14 years. In many villages across Malawi, a largely agrarian sliver of a country in southern Africa, custom dictates that both boys and girls as young as eight attend a rite of passage known as "initiation," after which they are no longer seen as children. The practice is most entrenched in the country's south, where Mwase's Golden Village is located.
Mwase was just 10 when she was led, along with about a dozen other girls, to remote huts outside her village during winter vacation from school in August. The girls were accompanied by older women from their village in Chiradzulu district, near the border with Mozambique. The women, known as anamkungwi, or "key leaders," told them that when they returned to their villages they should cook and clean—and have sex. According to Mwase, most of the two weeks she spent at the initiation camp were dedicated to learning how to engage in sexual acts. She had been excited for this time with friends away from home, but that feeling quickly gave way to dread as she learned the true purpose of initiation.
I used to adore the Pride and Prejudice author. But over the years I've grown more ambivalent toward her and the fervor for her work.
I once confessed to an audience gathered for a pre-show talk about Pride and Prejudice that I felt a bit salty to see so many of them in attendance. A few months earlier, I explained, I'd given an absolutely fascinating lecture on Mary Shelley to maybe five people, one of whom was my Aunt Carmen. The crowd for Jane Austen—and it was a crowd—laughed. A mix of students, folks from the surrounding towns, and my colleagues were there to see a stage adaptation of what is arguably the author's most popular novel. It was my job to introduce the performance, and I was terrified. It's no small thing to talk about Austen in public. There's always a cluster of people who have been reading her since before they could walk, and they not only have strong opinions but also know her and her writing like my mother knew the Bible.
She lived with us for 56 years. She raised me and my siblings without pay. I was 11, a typical American kid, before I realized who she was.
The ashes filled a black plastic box about the size of a toaster. It weighed three and a half pounds. I put it in a canvas tote bag and packed it in my suitcase this past July for the transpacific flight to Manila. From there I would travel by car to a rural village. When I arrived, I would hand over all that was left of the woman who had spent 56 years as a slave in my family's household.
Most of the country understands that when it comes to government, you pay for what you get.
When I was a young kid growing up in Montreal, our annual family trips to my grandparents' Florida condo in the 1970s and '80s offered glimpses of a better life. Not just Bubbie and Zadie's miniature, sun-bronzed world of Del Boca Vista, but the whole sprawling infrastructural colossus of Cold War America itself, with its famed interstate highway system and suburban sprawl. Many Canadians then saw themselves as America's poor cousins, and our inferiority complex asserted itself the moment we got off the plane.
Decades later, the United States presents visitors from the north with a different impression. There hasn't been a new major airport constructed in the United States since 1995. And the existing stock of terminals is badly in need of upgrades. Much of the surrounding road and rail infrastructure is in even worse shape (the trip from LaGuardia Airport to midtown Manhattan being particularly appalling). Washington, D.C.'s semi-functional subway system feels like a World's Fair exhibit that someone forgot to close down. Detroit's 90-year-old Ambassador Bridge—which carries close to $200 billion worth of goods across the Canada-U.S. border annually—has been operating beyond its engineering capacity for years. In 2015, the Canadian government announced it would be paying virtually the entire bill for a new bridge (including, amazingly, the U.S. customs plaza on the Detroit side), after Michigan's government pled poverty. "We are unable to build bridges, we're unable to build airports, our inner city school kids are not graduating," is how JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon summarized the state of things during an earnings conference call last week. "It's almost embarrassing being an American citizen."
The legendary jazz musician updates the American anthem for the magazine's first podcast.
The decline of a once-powerful majority is going to have profound implications.

Kern County Sheriff's Office: Immediate dismissal and prosecution of officers
David Silva, father of four, was beaten to death by the Kern County police. The officers then began harassing and arresting witnesses, after illegally entering homes to confiscate video evidence of their actions. Witnesses state that Silva screamed and cried for help for eight minutes before going silent and making only choking sounds. A half-dozen Kern County sheriff's deputies were beating Silva with clubs and kicking him, according to witnesses. At least two witnesses captured video of the beating, but before they could send the videos to news media outlets, detectives from the Kern County Sheriff's Office took their phones before a warrant for them had even arrived. While the incident is being investigated, six deputies and a sergeant who were there during the encounter with Mr. Silva have been allowed to return to full duty while the episode is investigated. Two California Highway Patrol officers were also present. One witnesses account of the aftermath is as following; the witness stated she and her boyfriend were kept from leaving the house for three hours. When her boyfriend tried to leave for work, a detective shoved him, closed the door and told him to hand over his phone, she said. Eventually he did. The brutality and abuse of power by law enforcement must come to an end.

Apple appears to be poised to rename and revamp this 6 year old service. Codingrobots reveals that all references to Apple's .Mac service in Mac OS X 10.5.3 have been replaced with a variable... essentially a blank space that can be easily replaced in the future by a software update. The reason for this appears to be that Apple will be rebranding their .Mac service. This renaming plan is actually spelled out in iCal's localizable.strings file: This finding may validate recent whispers that Apple is planning a dramatic .Mac update alongside the iPhone 2.0 release. In early May, TUAW claimed that .Mac would undergo a complete revamp near WWDC, and include the over-the-air syncing like Exchange and .Mac syncing with Windows. There has already been evidence that .Mac will be begin offering "push" functionality for Mail, Contacts and Calendar items in the iPhone 2.0 firmware, so a WWDC revamp certainly seems possible. Other whispers have suggested that Apple will start offering a discounted .Mac ( Article Link

Reindeer blues
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" — most people do not realize this cute little song is actually a tragic tale of abuse. The lyrics of the song tell it all.
All the other reindeer laughed at Rudolph and called him names and would not let him play any of the reindeer games.
I would have to say this amounts to a case of Rudolph being bullied and discriminated against because of his physical features.
All of this went on right under Santa's nose and would have continued had the weather have been fair instead of foggy one fateful Christmas Eve.
Suddenly, Rudolph is a hero and all the other reindeer loved him — what a joke — they were just doing this to please Santa Claus.
I'll bet they still talked about Rudy behind his back.
The story ends there, but I wonder how Rudolph was able to handle his sudden celebrity status. We see lots of people who become stars only to fall because they could not deal with being famous.
Maybe "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" should be sung as a blues song.

Saturday, December 18, 2004
Today my mother had A Mother of All Bowel Movements. I have an idea how she and I managed to work up to it. She hasn't had popcorn for the last several days and apparently not enough fiber to make up for that lack. The other problem is that for the last 3 days at least she's been persnickety about fluids, we've had more than a few pitched battles about this and I gave up during a little over half those battles.
When she headed into the bathroom to move her bowels neither of us had a clue that a little over an hour later she'd still be in there, would have eliminated very little, would have strained quite a bit despite my advice not to strain, would have read through an entire spice catalog, drunk a cup of hot herb tea and still be very uncomfortably clogged. She didn't want to remove herself from the toilet and walk around a little, which I thought might help. She was afraid she'd have an accident. I was hoping this, which I would not have minded cleaning. Anything to end her misery.
A couple of times throughout the ordeal I offered to clean her. When she's a little constipated cleaning her mid-movement helps. She refused. After a bit over an hour I told her I was going to clean her anyway. She was so uncomfortable she decided to allow me this. I discovered that she was trying to expel rock shit. Jesus Christ Almighty, it was bad. I was able to trim the shit extending just beyond her anus. She returned to the toilet. I left her alone for about 10 minutes. She wasn't able to expel any more. I told her I was going to clean her again in case a bit more had managed to bulge out. Again she refused and I ordered her up. She complied. I knelt beneath her ass, separated her cheeks, looked up and, well, what a sight it was. Her sphincter was locked open almost two inches by a block of rock shit that appeared as though it had no interest in going anywhere.
I told her it was enema time. She roared her disapproval but I told her the situation was beyond choice. She was so uncomfortable that she didn't think she'd be able to arrange herself into a reclining position to take the enema. I agreed. I decided I'd better give it to her standing up at the toilet, which is not recommended and carries some danger but, well, what are you going to do when comfortable reclining is impossible? I removed all rugs and plastic from the linoleum floor, brought in a huge towel expecting that the enema might work on her before she'd be able to reseat herself since it was obvious she wasn't going to be able to hold the liquid in. I very carefully inserted the tip of the enema bottle between the shit block and the wall of her colon. Before I'd gotten the tip in a half inch, before I was able to discharge the liquid, apparently the agitation of inserting the tip caused her colon to spasm just enough to catalyze a downward expelling contraction, she turned toward the toilet, which movement dislodged the tip of the enema bottle, sat down, strained mightily and immediately released two very thick, very hard blocks of shit, one of which was about 6 inches long. The ordeal was over.
I ordered her not to flush and immediately taped the flush handle to the side of the toilet. She remained sitting until her colon relaxed a bit then stood while I cleaned her. Cleaning was easy. The olive oil she receives every day keeps her iron laden shit from soiling her entire uro-genital-eliminatory tract.
Once I'd cleaned and redressed Mom, instead of letting that shit sit in the toilet and soften (which I wasn't sure was going to happen) I decided to glove myself and go after it. It's a good thing I did. She'd expelled quite a bit and all of it was either like slabs of granite or river rocks. I dug down into the pipe and extracted as much as I could before I finally had the confidence to flush the toilet. It probably sounds like this operation was disgustingly messy but it was the opposite. I only had a toilet to clean, not an entire half of a bathroom. Fishing her shit out of the toilet worked so well that it occurred to me perhaps this is the way I should handle all her bowel movements. That would certainly take care of the toilet clogging problem and after today I have no problem handling her shit.
What does all this have to do with love? My maternal grandmother was in a nursing home during the last months of her life suffering from what was labeled as advanced Alzheimer's. When she became colonically impacted the staff cleaned her out with a spoon. I recalled this throughout my mother's ordeal today and realized that if she'd been in a nursing home spooning is one of two very uncomfortable, potentially dangerous ways this situation would have been handled. The other was the way the skilled nursing facility perpetuated on my mother last August: Load her up with laxatives and let her rip. If you read about it you'll know that from the nurses' point of view I was amused because I warned that if they used a typical laxative dose on her they'd have a mess on their hands. They ignored me and they had a 36 hour continual mess on their hands, and the bed, and the floor, and the bathroom. This situation was not at all healthy for my mother since her urethra had just begun to work off the challenge of the hospital's 6 day catheterization. Luckily, she was still on antibiotics for a UTI but continued having UTI problems after this, no doubt from the contamination of having diarrhea for 36 hours. As you'll recall as well, after this incident I instructed the staff to make sure she drank at least one 11.5 ounce can of V-8 juice a day (which I provided) and ate a bag of popcorn (which I provided). As you also know, I visited every other day and noticed that the staff never did this. Thus, when she left the facility she was shit impacted, although only slightly. Today was the first time her impaction has been this bad since the laxative incident at the nursing home.
The love part is that my mother is not in a nursing home, is not being regularly subjected to spoons and lethal doses of laxatives in order to clear up impacted fecal problems which she'd probably be suffering on a regular basis if she was in a nursing home. She is on an extremely high fiber, high olive oil diet (which she wouldn't be enjoying in a nursing home) in order to keep incidents such as the one today as infrequent as possible. I also monitor her liquid intake much more closely and successfully (even when I lose pitched battles) than the hospital or nursing home did (and I kept after both places, explaining more than once to each that telling her to drink and leaving the vicinity would not work...she has to be coaxed to drink and monitored while she's drinking).
After today's shit fest I gave her a modified and expanded lecture on refusing liquids which I think probably made an impact (forgive the pun, I couldn't resist). I expect we'll continue to have occasional problems. Although I'm being careful not to overdose her on liquids (expect today), she still has flashes of remembering a couple of doctors saying, "Have her drink only when she's thirsty." When these memories return she becomes so inordinately obstinate that, well, this time, I gave in. I obviously shouldn't have. Now I have an argument that, I hope, will trump her next "I don't need to drink anything if I'm not thirsty, that's what the doctors said" episode.
I'd like to say that I can't imagine how a hospital or nursing home would have treated her today. Unfortunately, I know exactly how they would have treated her. This is one of the many reasons she's not in a nursing home. I love her enough to willingly maneuver through days such as today rather than have her in a nursing home. Someday, the gods please forbid, I may have to put her in a nursing home. But not today. Today, once again, I pulled myself up to her needs and discovered I am able to meet those needs in a way that preserved her safety, her dignity and her sense of community. I'm now even more determined to keep her at home as long as I possibly can. If I can plow through her shit I'm willing to bet I can plow through anything on her behalf.

I have made this for a friends birthday gift in September - so I am ahead of myself after having done little sewing this year. I love the fabric and it is funny as well as quite 'Kiwi" as well. My friend is a quilter and avid knitter so fitting for her. I am very happy with how it turned out. I will put the buttons in for her to add once she has filled it with her knitting needles.

In Ages Past
Missionary to China: Bishop Francis X. Ford, M.M.
In 1892, as America was preparing to celebrate the 400th anniversary of its discovery, Austin and Elizabeth Ford were preparing for their sixth child. When a son arrived on January 11th, they considered naming him Christopher Columbus Ford. But Austin had just finished reading a biography of St. Francis Xavier (1506-1552), whom he had come to admire, so the baby boy was named for the great missionary saint whose unrealized ambition was to reach China.
A native New Yorker, Austin Ford published The Irish World. Born in Iowa, Elizabeth Anne Rellihan had moved East to write for the paper; within a year, she and Austin were married. Theirs was a comfortable, middle-class existence in Brooklyn. Young Frank had many career options ahead of him. When he was 12, an Irish priest visited his parish to raise money for the missions, and talked about his work in China. The seeds of a vocation had been planted; Frank Ford decided he would be a Chinese missionary.
But back then there were few opportunities for American Catholics to engage directly in missionary work. (Until 1908, the Vatican officially listed the United States as mission territory.) Frank enrolled at Cathedral College, a Manhattan school for young men considering the priesthood. In 1912, during his sophomore year, an opportunity presented itself when Fathers James Walsh and Thomas Price came to Cathedral looking for young men to join their new community, Maryknoll.
A year earlier, the two priests founded America's first missionary order in Ossining, New York, on a hill named for the Blessed Mother. Frank Ford was their first applicant. Of slight build, with black hair and striking dark eyes, he was shy, but no shrinking violet. In 1918, a few months after his ordination, he was one of the first Maryknollers assigned to China, at Guandong in the south.
Like his fellow priests, he knew little of Chinese culture and traditions. He would learn on the job. More experienced European missioners predicted that the Americans wouldn't last a year. It was indeed hard work. They faced rough, slow travel through terrible heat and humidity replete with mosquitoes. There was political unrest. Locals mocked their attempts at Chinese. Still, Ford wrote,
I'm only just now discovering the civilization of China and falling on love with it . . . To think that China was completely equipped with a literature and culture 3,000 years before our ancestors was a hard blow to an Irishman.
Too many Westerners, he noted, felt the Chinese were there to serve them. Later he would tell his own priests: "We come to China not to barbarians, but a civilization thousands of years older." Condescension, he insisted, had no place: "Our Lord never condescended; He never betrayed superiority in His dealing with others." For Ford, the encounter with the Chinese was to be one of "reverence, respect, and love, a meeting of brothers."
For many back home, there was glamour about the missions. But, Ford commented, "the routine is without glamour." There were warlords, bandits, and pirates. Communism under Mao Zedong was gaining ground, and there were anti-foreign demonstrations. For many Chinese, conversion to Christianity was a hard thing. It meant adopting a religion closely associated with the Westerners exploiting their country.

On May 24, Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu acknowledged that "a Palestinian state must be big enough to be viable, independent and prosperous". However, as US President Barack Obama recently noted, the border will have to be different to the 15-kilometre ceasefire line that existed before Israel's defensive war of June 1967.
Simply put, Israel cannot return to those indefensible borders. This conflict has never been about borders or settlements or even Palestinian statehood. Rather, the crux of the dispute has been – and remains to this day – Palestinian refusal to accept the existence of a Jewish state.
In order for there to be a real and lasting peace, Palestinian Authority President
Recently Israel celebrated its 63rd year of independence. The Palestinians call this the "nakba", or catastrophe. The real catastrophe is that the Palestinians could have also celebrated their 63rd year of independence had they agreed in 1947, like the Israelis, to the UN vote to partition the land into a Jewish state and an Arab state. Instead, five Arab countries attacked the infant state of Israel the moment it was declared.
Israel has repeatedly shown that, when a partner is willing to reach a true historic compromise with the Jewish people, like the late Anwar Sadat and King Hussein of Jordan, it will accept this opportunity with open arms and trade land for peace.
Abbas's recent decision to follow up two years of refusing to negotiate with Israel by entering into a unity government with Hamas – a terrorist group which refuses to recognise Israel's existence and is sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state – is not the sign of someone who yearns for peace.
Netanyahu has unambiguously said that he is prepared to make painful and far-reaching compromises for peace. The question remains: is Abbas prepared to do the same?

He said, "We want to get positive results in shortest possible time and do not want any interval or breakage in peace process." He said both the parties will have to show flexibility to get the desired results. He also condemned the recent terrorist attacks and said that such activities may hamper the peace process. Professor Ibrahim Said Islam cannot be implemented by force rather this could be done by becoming a role model for other religions. Meanwhile, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Finance Minister Sirajul Haq has said that the solution to all over problems lies in Islamic system and interest-free economy. Secularism and liberalism are not the solution at all. He said this while addressing a gathering on the occasion of concluding ceremony of Jamiat Tulab-e-Arabia (JTA) Attock. Siraj said, "If we want to get solution of the prevailing situation then we will have to follow the teaching of Islam and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH)."

Posted on 05/06/2012 8:48:44 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican
One of Andrew Feffer's jobs is getting Washington Nationals fans to come to the ballpark. But this year, the team's chief operating officer has another goal: keeping Philadelphia Phillies fans out.
Since the baseball franchise left Montreal for Washington, D.C., in 2005, the Nationals pastime has been losing games. They haven't yet had a winning season. Meanwhile, their rivals 125 miles up I-95 have been one of the best teams in the game.
With seats in Philly's Citizens Bank Park hard to come by, Phillies fans have taken to descending on Nationals Park whenever their team pays a visit. Two years ago, Nationals fan Ryan Sullivan spent more than $600 on Opening Day tickets for himself and his father. The park was filled with Philadelphia supporters, whose team routed the Nationals 11-1. One overindulged Phillies fan threw up on Mr. Sullivan's shoes, he says. "They were so obnoxious."
A veteran sports marketer, Mr. Feffer joined the Nationals in 2010. As a Virginia native, he had long been irked by the way Philadelphia fans converged on Washington to cheer for their teamshockey and football fans also contend with Flyers and Eagles fans from up north.
The last straw came Aug. 20, on what should have been a happy occasion: The Nationals set a single-game attendance record. The problem was that two-thirds of the crowd was rooting for Philadelphia, which won the game 5-0. Phillies fans created a sign across the bleachers that said: "Welcome to Citizens Bank Park South."
Something, Mr. Feffer says, "had to change."
His solution was a curveball: For the first series between the two teams this year, Friday through Sunday, he blocked single-game ticket sales outside the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.

Stub Hub, tons of DC area fans bought extra tics and put them up on Stub Hub, no lack of Phillie Phans this past weekend.
I went to a Nationals game last year in DC....with the Phillies playing. It was a Saturday game and one of the few where most of the park was filled up. My humble guess is that half the folks in the stadium in DC...were from Philadelphia. For National's fans....it's a negative feeling when you have half the park full of opposition fans.
This happens in Atlanta when the Mets visit the Braves, but to a much lesser extent. It's just fun to see the Mets fans don't have to drive all the way to NY to see Chipper Jones own their team.
Wouldn't be a problem if the Nationals had put the stadium in Northern Virginia. But no, everyone had to be politically correct and put it in the slums of DC. I guess politicians wanted to have another place to go and show off.
I'm a Phillies fan who lives outside DC. I agree that the stadium is in a horrible area of the city. I think that the vision is for it to become like Baltimore's Inner Harbor area, with restaurants and shopping. If you go 3 or 4 blocks from Camden Yards, it's pretty bad, but the Inner Harbor area is beautiful. We can drive 20 minutes to the Greenbelt Metro, park our car, and get out of the metro in front of the ballpark for $3 each way. If it was in Northern Virginia, getting to a game would not be so easy or inexpensive.

So, Donald Miller wrote an article about why he doesn't go to church much. You can read it here. I was surprised by how much I didn't agree with it, given the way his earlier works blessed me when I was in college (especially some of the moving things he has written about needing community). In essence, for this article Miller took some of the worst cliches and cultural trends of American life that contribute to our consumeristic view of church and handily bundled them all together in one art … [Read more...]

Drivers share fuel for thought
Co-Drive Club: Reducing the number of cars on the road
One of the UK's most innovative car-sharing schemes has got off the ground in Leeds, with the twin aims of saving money and the environment.
One of the scheme's founders, Linda Strudwick, who has a part-time job and two small children to cope with, said car-sharing was "hard work" but worthwhile.
"You've got to be committed, but certainly where we live there is adequate public transport," she said.
"And with the money we save by not owning a car we can take taxis. Of course, there's always walking, which is great."
Money saver
Each member of the club pays Ł10 per month and 15p per mile, with discounts for all-day bookings.
The scheme has already proved so successful that the Co-Drive Club is considering leasing one or two additional cars to cope with new members.
Although relatively new to the UK, car pools have existed in Europe and the United States for some time. One pool in Bremen, Germany, has 2000 members and runs a fleet of cars.
Most of the Leeds club users admit that their priority is to save money rather than exercise any altruistic motives, like reducing pollution levels.
'Green sense'
The pressure group Transport 2000 confirmed that this was often the case.
"You don't have to be green for it to make sense to join a car club," said a spokeswoman.
"The experience from Germany is that the average motorist driving a middle-of-the-road car makes a saving of Ł1,800 to Ł2,000-a-year from joining a car club like the one set up in Leeds."
Government pressure to use public transport rather than roads is likely to encourage the creation of similar clubs and plans are already under way for pools in London and Edinburgh.

Concord, NH - The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) is recommending that people who have purchased 3-gallon or 5-gallon
water bottles from Poland Spring since November 1, 2012 open them and check
for possible gasoline odors before using the water. Clean water is odorless
and should not have any chemical smell. Poland Spring issued a statement
about this issue which can be found on their website at
After Super Storm Sandy struck the Eastern seaboard in October, some
gasoline shortages were reported in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut,
and some residents used empty containers such as large water bottles to
transport gasoline. In the past three months, bottled water companies have
detected and blocked from reuse an increased number of returned water
bottles found to contain gasoline residue or fumes. However, despite these
detection efforts, as well as disinfection and sanitization protocols, a
very small number of contaminated bottles are believed to have made it
through the detection process and back into consumer use. The exposure
levels involved are not likely to result in long-term health effects. DHHS
is working collaboratively with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
other New England states on this issue.
"This contamination is not thought to be a widespread problem, but we want
to remind consumers that they should use their 3- or 5-gallon water bottles
only for drinking water," said Dr. José Montero, Director of Public Health
Services. "Of course during a disaster we need to do what is necessary to
go on, but contaminated water bottles should be discarded."
If you find a water bottle with an odor, do not drink or use the water.
Instead, call your bottled water provider to make arrangements to get a
replacement. If you have health concerns contact your health care provider.
Bottled water that is not in 3-gallon or 5-gallon containers is not
affected by this issue.
For more information about bottled water regulations in New Hampshire,

Another Voice: Lack of state funding jeopardizes college and career readiness
By Matthew P. McGarrity
Once again, school districts across New York State are bracing for another dismal school budget season. This perfect storm is systematically unraveling the fabric of public education.
For many years there has been a perception that there are districts that have had no problem raising taxes. The current tax cap has stripped districts of the practical ability to do this. The penalties for attempting to exceed the tax cap and failing are punitive at best.
Each year, the tax cap is 2 percent or the Consumer Price Index, whichever is less. For the past two years, it has been 2 percent, but now for 2014-2015 it will be substantially less because the CPI is lower. Although I understand the need to provide relief to our taxpayers, it should not be at the expense of providing our children with a high-quality education.
Dramatic decreases in state aid have forced districts to make inconceivable decisions. For example, the Orchard Park Central School District is projected to receive $3.2 million less in state aid in the 2014-2015 school year than it received in the 2008-2009 school year, despite dramatic, uncontrollable cost increases over those six years.
The result? School districts have been forced to make unfathomable cuts, reducing academic, advanced and enrichment opportunities, foreign language, music, the arts, athletics, clubs and activities to name a few – ironically, the same things that colleges and employers are looking for in prospective college students and employees.
I believe that most people are aware of the outrage and anger over the implementation of the State Education Department's education reform initiative. Busloads of parents and educators have sent a loud and clear message to the State Education Department.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's recent budget proposal sharply criticized the implementation of the Common Core curriculum, but secured no funding for improved implementation of this unfunded mandate.
The Race to the Top and the Common Core curriculum are unprecedented initiatives in education, with expectations for school districts to ensure that students are "college and career ready" – to be accomplished with historically low levels of funding.
Without proper funding to schools, regardless of the initiative, we are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
I urge all school districts, parents and community groups to send an even louder message to our local and state elected officials to reinforce the fact that adequate school funding is needed to accomplish what school districts are being asked to do, and provide our students the kind of opportunities they deserve. We have posted their contact information on our website (www.opschools.org) under the community tab.
Matthew P. McGarrity is superintendent of the Orchard Park Central School District.

Hello Bollywood Lovers ! 2010 was great year so far for bollywood. Movies like Dabaang, Rajneeti, My Name is Khan were highest grossing as expected. However, there were better movies this year like Udaan, Ishqiya, Phas Gaye re Obama etc which are must watch. Bollygraph.com has prepared top 10 movies and you should vote for the best one.
Please Vote and Share with your friends.
[polldaddy poll=4563475]
1. My Name is Khan
Of course, My Name is Khan deserves No.1 position. There has always been competition between Salman Khan's Dabaang and Sharukh's My Name is Khan. But Dabaang is only action packed movie with over acting. Also, it is not heart touching. Dabaang surely is made in hollywood style but we can't keep this in #1 position. My name is Khan, starting with Shahrukh and Kajol is no question the best movie of 2010. My name is khan also has superhit songs like "tere naina" and Noor-E-Khuda
2. Dabaang (Best Action Movie)
Salman Khan's Dabaang was one of the most popular movies in 2010. People loved the action of Sallu much and went crazy about it. Besides, its soundtrack's were also amazing. Dabaang's Munni Badnam Hui was one the most played songs in the whole year. Dabaang also won many awards including filmfare.
3. Udaan
Udaan was low budget movie but had a fresh story. Udaan won many awards in filmfare and other popular awards. I personally was touched much with the storyline. Everybody must watch this movie. Casts are not popular but their acting is superb !
4. Robot (Best science based Thriller)
Rajnikant – The Superstar rises again in robot with actress Aishwarya Rai ! This movie truly gives a hollywood action movie feel in bollywood style. Danny's acting is cool along with other. Robot was one the Superhit movie in India 2010
5. Phas Gaye Re Obama (Best Comedy)
Many comedy movies like Golmaal, No Problem were released this year but gave disappointment. This low budget movie Phas Gaye re Obama is the best comedy of the year because of its fresh storyline and natural acting. What a acting ! Must watch
6. Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
Starting with Ajay Devgan and Kangana this movie is one of the best movies this year. Because of its storyline and music it could perform well in box office and was able to create space in heart.
7. Ishqiya
Must accept that Vidya balaan is amazing actress. Whatever role it may be she plays great. Ishqiya is little bit confusing typo movie but it shows power of a women. It gives message that women are superior. Besides, its music is also cool.
8. Rajneeti
One of the Blockbuster movie which grossed very high in box office, Rajneeti of course deserve #8 position. It shows how the politics runs. Acting of Ranbir and Rajpaal are superb. Katrina does okay. Its music were also hit.
9. Guzaarish
Sanjay Leela Bansali makes unique movies all the time and is much respected in bollywood industry. Though this movie didn't perform well in box office and has got some negative reviews, we have decided to put it in #9
10. Peepli Live
Damn, this movie Aamir Khan Production with all new characters and new director surely deserves at least top 10 position. Actually, it has nothing with but gives a freshness. The acting is 100% natural and seems real.
Most Disappointing Movie of 2010 – Tees Mar Khan

As a third generation graduate of the U.S. Army Airborne School, Columbus State University ROTC Cadet Tyler Davidson said completing the course with his final jump June 25 was one of the most rewarding moments of his life.
However, he said knowing that his father, Col. David Davidson would be taking that jump with him was what made the moment even better.
"Going up for the first time, you're really nervous," he said. "When you jump out, it's quiet and peaceful and you remember what you have to do. Being able to end with a combat equipment jump and having my dad next to me was awesome."
The elder Davidson officially relinquished command of the 316th Cavalry Brigade June 20 and now serves as the operations officer for U.S. Army North at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. He traveled back to Fort Benning just in time for the final jump and to pin the silver wings he earned 20 years ago on his son during the Class 25-14 graduation ceremony June 27.
David Davidson said the opportunity was the result of perfect timing and support from the Maneuver Center of Excellence and the Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade.
"I'm an Armor officer, and there are very few Armor officers on jump status," Davidson said. "Based on the MCoE reorganization, an Airborne unit came to the 316th Brigade, which allowed me to go into jump status. It was 21 years from jump five to jump six."
When David Davidson graduated from Airborne School in December 1992, his father, retired Maj. Thomas Davidson, traveled to Fort Benning to pin the silver wings he earned 30 years prior on him.
"My father took the same jump and graduated from Airborne School in 1962," he said. "He served three tours in Vietnam, and is a (1972) Distinguished Service Cross Award recipient ... I also had a great-uncle (John Wallace) in one of the first Airborne test companies in 1942 who later jumped into Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France, with 82nd Airborne Division on D-Day."
David Davidson said the advice he gave his son was to focus on the mission and complete his jumps safely and accurately.
"Feet and knees together, pay attention and listen to what they tell you," he said. "You will apply what you learn in the first two weeks to the third week, so you must pay attention and all of it comes together when you exit the aircraft."
Tyler Davidson, 20, who will begin his junior year at CSU this year, said he was fortunate to get an open slot for Airborne School this summer. He said he hopes to follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps and pursue a career in the Army after graduating from college.
"It's an amazing opportunity for a cadet because so few of these slots come open for us," he said. "I never did basic training, so I never lived in barracks. Here I actually got to see the Soldier side of the Army, which was a really good experience for me."

Some two years later, during the Whitsun holiday, I had taken one of my daughters to the cinema and arrived home about 10.30pm.
Then, after a brief and discursive debate on the occasion of the adjournment, the House adjourned for the Whitsun recess.
Well, Martin, it will be all up with your Whitsun Kingship immediately.
Prominent amongst all the youths stood the Whitsun King of the year before.
And at last rosy Whitsun Day, most comical of days, arrived.
On the north wall of the nave in Cirencester Church is a representation of the ancient custom of Whitsun ale.
For the children's intrusions are not quite the only cloud in Talbot's Whitsun sky.
These few days of Austin's Whitsun visit had changed his cosmic view.
The Whitsun King was in the centre group; now and then he snapped his fingers, but as yet he had not moved his whip.
It's Whitsun Eve, and nobody has rung the vesper bell—that's very strange.

As always, discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon.

I usually recommend waiting 48 hours after surgery to shower. This give the incisions time to seal. Every surgeon has a different protocol for different reasons. You should follow your surgeon's recommendations.

Brazilian Butt Lift & Showering
Thank you for your questions. In our Atlanta office, we achieve desired Brazilan butt lift (BBL) results using our specialized technique via small incisions without drains. We normally advise patients to wait 24 hours after their surgery to shower. We advise patients to not take Bath or Swim for at least 2 weeks after their surgery, to allow enough time for the incisions to heal. Our advice would be to discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon and determine why they do not want you to shower for 7 days.

Eastern Henrico FISH Provides Assistance
By Amy David, Special to the Henrico Citizen 12/19/10
Eastern Henrico FISH depends on the help of local churches and charitable organizations to get members in the community back on their feet.
The non-profit serves Henrico residents east and south of Mechanicsville Turnpike including Highland Springs, Varina, and Sandston providing clothes, food, and financial assistance for people with short term emergencies.
"We strive for FISH's presence to help strengthen Eastern Henrico through the organizations and community that supports us," said Vickie Martin, director of FISH.
Martin has been with FISH since 2002 and got involved with the organization through her church, New Bridge Baptist, and has worked as a volunteer and staff member before becoming director.
FISH, which is a nationwide organization, has been in Metro Richmond for 38 years and since 2001 has served clients and donors out of Village Presbyterian Church with a clothes closet, food pantry, information and referral services.
"We moved to the church to be more accessible to clients and to make it easier for donors to drop things off," said Martin.
The organization helps victims in all kinds of situations that have put them at a disadvantage. FISH covers portions of rent, a mortgage, car repair, or utilities for those that qualify.
FISH has established criteria to help the people in the community who are desperately in need of financial aid or other items and takes time to consider circumstances in each household. Last year, it served 400 households, or about 1,100 individuals.
"We look at what the need is, we see them through that emergency, and are there to help them get through that bump in the road," said Martin.
All of the items such as clothes and food are donated by the community or from members of the 26 churches that are involved with FISH. The group partners with these churches, civic groups, businesses, social services and other government agencies and non-profits to better serve their clients.
"We rely on churches in the community for support," said Martin.
Fundraisers are held by the non-profit to spread awareness and help to aid their mission. An annual benefit concert is held to bring everyone involved in the organization together and take up donations. It's usually the organization's largest event and is held at different venues each year. The most recent concert was held at Sandston Baptist Church.
Eastern Henrico FISH has an average of 50 volunteers, with several coming in each week to assist families and individuals over the phone and work in the clothes closet and food pantry rooms. In 2009, volunteers gave 3,000 hours of their to help clients of FISH.
"Without the support of our volunteers we couldn't maintain," said Martin.
Eutanaha Fluker has volunteered for FISH for over 20 years and has seen the positive effect the organization has on the community.
"FISH does a good job of determining what a person's real needs are and referring them to churches," said Fluker. Like Martin, Fluker is a member of New Bridge Baptist and got involved after word spread about the growing needs of the non-profit.
"It's really important for churches to work together to do what we do for FISH," Fluker said.
Fluker has served as a church representative for the group in the past, worked the phone taking calls from clients and spent hours in the food pantry and clothes closet.
Around this time of year, FISH receives a good amount of food donations for its food pantry but is in serious need of financial donations. It's also seeking other churches that are interested in joining the cause.
"We're always looking to add churches to support our mission," said Martin.
FISH is available to people in the Eastern Henrico area Monday- Friday from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Families or individuals needing assistance from FISH, or people who wish to make a contribution, can reach the organization at 222-5564.

Sir Alex Ferguson admits Phil Jones could be sidelined for 10 weeks
Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa are fit to face Wigan but Man Utd defender Phil Jones may be sidelined for 10 weeks.
Last Updated: 14/09/12 1:50pm
Jones has undergone an operation after picking up a problem in training and he is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Ferguson admits it is disappointing to lose a player of Jones' quality, although the defensive crisis from earlier in the season is gradually easing.
Chris Smalling is closing in on a return to action following a broken foot, while Jonny Evans and Rio Ferdinand have already made their comebacks.
While the international break allowed Evans to get some minutes under his belt for Northern Ireland, Van Persie and Kagawa picked up knocks playing for their countries.
However, Ferguson has confirmed that both players are in his plans ahead of the Premier League clash with the Latics on Saturday.
"On the injury front, everyone's fit, apart from the ones we know about - Jones and Smalling," said the United boss.
"Jones was a bad blow for us. He got an injury in training last weekend and he'll be out for eight to 10 weeks.
"We expect Smalling to be back training by the end of the month. There's a little bit of comfort in that sense, given our centre-back situation. But with Jonny [Evans] back we're in a better position than we were a couple of weeks ago."

Queen Latifah, the rapper/actress born Dana Owens, revealed on The View that she is working on adopting a child. She said, "I'm actually kind of working on that." Awesome!! Good for her.
She said, "I think I saw one of those specials… you know those movies of the week. And it was like… I just always wanted to bring a child home."
'Tifah even joked, "So if you got a kid that you don't (want)… Just give me a year – let me set up camp and send me the kid!"
Queen Latifah, 42, also refused to address speculation about her sexuality, which is well within her rights. Some thought she came out at an event this year. She said, "I've never dealt with the question of my personal life in public. It's just not gonna happen."
We love that she is playing by her rules.
What is your favorite Queen Latifah role or song?

My love is True
Did you know that god above,
created you for me to love.
He picked you out from all the rest,
Because he knew I'd love you best.
And if I go to heaven, and find you are not there,
I'll write your name on the Golden Stairs.
And if on your judgement day
I find you went the other way,
I'll give the angels back their wings,
Golden harp and other things.
And just to prove my love is true,
I'll even go to hell for you.

Take-off and Landing on the Toilet, Really?
Scene: A geek (me) and his executive team have just finished a round of power meetings in a foreign country. As they boarding the private, corporate jet, John Smith proclaims: "That food from dinner last night isn't sitting well for me." I turn to him and say, "That's fine John. There is no need to fret because we just had that new take-off and landing toilet seat upgrade installed!" Phew, crisis averted.
This may sound like a skit straight off of Saturday Night Live (SNL) but, alas, it isn't. It's news. This month, a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer announced: "Embraer Certifies Belted Toilet for the Phenom 100 Jet." The certifications were received from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil, or ANAC) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval is expected in the coming weeks.
To receive certification, the belted toilet seat had to undergo a variety of tests. For example, it had to withstand an impact of 21 times the force of gravity and provide adequate safety for the passenger. Modifications to pass this test included adding a belt to the toilet seat and reinforcement of the aft bulkhead divider.
This upgrade provides a seventh seat on the popular six-seat jet from the third or fourth largest aircraft manufacturer in the world (Bombardier and Embraer often switch positions in the rankings).
"This much-awaited product improvement comes to enhance the Phenom 100's seating capacity, and is a result of listening to our customers," Maurício Almeida, Embraer vice president, Programs – Executive Jets, said in a news release. "Embraer is committed to offering unique, customer-centered solutions, and continues to work hard to further improve this successful and highly popular airplane."
Really!? I am astounded that people really requested a feature such as a take-off and landing toilet, and so much so that it has been built and certified for flight. In high school, we used to call shotgun for the front seat. What fun games will these executive passengers invent?
Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Nonetheless, I am always excited to hear of new mil/aero innovations and companies proactively moving the industry forward. What will we think of next? This geek can't wait to find out.
P.S., Please keep the seat in its downright and locked position during take-off and landing.

Nicole - Part 1: The Pill - Poem by Niko Tiliopoulos
Yesterday I thought I was dying,
but today I'm still here sighing.
You see, I met this girl in a bar.
She smiled at me and instead of the bill,
she gave me a pill!
and on it was curved a dolphin,
which looked rather elfin.
Anyway, she was out of town and I was really down,
so when she told me with that I could talk to God,
I thought that's an interesting odd.
So I took it... (To her health)
But there is something here, I fear, I miss.
She must have thought I had a death wish,
because it felt like the Devil's kiss.
And the whole Hell broke loose...
Instead of blood I must have had
some toxic juice.
My veins were hurting,
as if they were melting.
I lost my vision, I could not feel,
I couldn't even stand still
or walk,
but I was able to talk.
And in the middle of this shock
my thoughts were all
on a beauty named Nicole.
So I gave her a call... (Oh, dear!)
But the night was running long.
Perhaps what I did was very wrong,
because though what I said was true and nice,
I think she mumbled 'I hate you' twice.
Well, the very next morning,
after a couple of cold showers,
I went and bought her flowers.
(I had to apologise)
And oh! now I realise,
she is really gentle (or maybe mad) ,
for to my surprise
she sent me a postcard!
Believe it or not
hope is the hardest dope.
So though yesterday I was dying,
today I'm still here trying.

These are a fantastic value. After a few hundred miles, I'd easily compare these to more expensive Ebc's. Good cold bite for a ceramic pad and haven't noticed any fading yet in spirited driving. Will report back after a few thousand more miles on how they're holding up.

And if Brooke had to take over, we'd all need medical attention after banging our heads against the wall every time she asks a stupid question. "How do you feel about . . . ?"
Melissa really concerns me.
She was so doped up she couldn't feel anything in her neck.
Then she goes out, dances, and she's a human jump rope???
I KNOW she got a doctor's clearance to be there.
But if it were me, I don't think I'd be taking a chance.
Didn't they tape the Tuesday show directly after the live show aired on Monday in the east? Since I live in the west I didn't see if the Eastern show said live or taped. If it was taped on Monday, Melissa would have still been full of meds for her dance.

I'm sorry for not responding earlier -- the time limit ran out at midnight!! I saw the question this morning, but not in time to do anything.
Anyway, it looks like you got a good answer. I see no reason to intrude on good work unless you specifically want me to look at something or answer some question.
Good luck to you,
r u able to answer the DQ's tonight?
i see you have answered the question but there is a word count requirement. The word countbis 300 per question. The other expert that I posted the question to had helped me before so he knew there was a word count that is why I did not mention it. If you can meet the word count I will accept the answer.
