John Feehery, a former Republican Capitol Hill staffer who now works for a Republican media outfit, has an article up at The Hill regarding the issue of conscience protections currently being formulated by the Department of Health & Human Services. He wonders why the Obama Administration would risk alienating Catholic swing voters.
That is a good question, but Feehery is not very good at reporting the issue. He writes: "At issue is a new government mandate that Catholic hospitals provide contraception services, a mandate that directly contravenes church teachings." No, actually, what is at issue is whether or not Catholic institutions, including colleges and universities, social service agencies, and hospitals too, would have to purchase insurance for their employees that includes coverage for contraceptive services.
Feehery also fails to note that the HHS sent out a second call for comments on the new rule. Nothing has been decided as far as I can tell, and regular readers will know I have been following this issue pretty carefully and have not been shy in voicing my opinion.
The idea that Catholic institutions would be forced to purchase insurance that includes coverage for morally objectionable procedures is a big issue and it should be handled with care. Sad to say, the editors at the Hill, and Mr. Feehery, are not even sure what the issue is.

Silverstone's management described Friday's conditions as a "nightmare" as fields used for parking and camping were flooded, leaving thousands unable to make it to the circuit in the worst chaos at the British Grand Prix for 12 years.
F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone was told by organisers not to attempt to travel to Silverstone on Friday.
"This is the first year we've had such bad problems, which is largely down to all the fields giving out," Silverstone communications head Katie Tyler said.
There was a tailback of five miles along the main road leading to Silverstone by Friday lunchtime and the situation could be exacerbated at the weekend with further rain anticipated.
"If we get more rain, we have to be honest about it -- it will be slow and there will be problems," Tyler said. "We've loaded all the hard-standing car parks today, but we have used some of the other car parks that aren't hard-standing. They may well be in a bad state tomorrow."
Organisers, who had anticipated 100,000 watching Saturday's qualifying session, have told up to 20,000 ticketholders who planned to park at the circuit not to come.
Silverstone managing director Richard Phillips said the need to refund so many people could cost £1 million ($1.5 million) and turn the event from profit into loss.
"I'm a bit sick today," Phillips said.

Ideology vs. The Constitution
I'd like to clarify our role here at the Tenth Amendment Center. We are many times falsely referred to as a "Libertarian Think-Tank," but this is a somewhat false assertion. The Tenth Amendment is a non-partisan rule of construction. It simply asserts what the Federal govt. is allowed to do, (and for the most part – what the statesare allowed to do). Thus, it can just as easily be cited to justify a state's desire to legislate auto emissions as it would be to assert 2nd Amendment rights amongst conservatives. It can just as easily assert the right to death "with dignity," or to recall the State National Guard as to assert healthcare freedom.
So, when we evaluate the "Tenth Amendment movement," we need to keep in mind that what we think of the Tenth is by extension what we think of the Constitution. If we are to disparage local control via the Tenth, we need to question our very charter as a nation. What the Tenth Amendment is essentially saying is that small communities across the nation have a right to govern themselves (or ourselves) in a manner that, to us, seems most likely to protect our inalienable rights, as are mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.Details

Luis Suárez found some consolation after the dejection of Liverpool's defeat to Chelsea after being named the PFA Player of the Year.
His fellow striker Daniel Sturridge, though, was pipped to the Young Player of the Year award by Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard, preventing double Anfield glory for the much acclaimed 'SAS' partnership. Hazard was runner up in the main prize with Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure third.
Suárez's recognition by his peers in a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London completed his rehabilitation in English football, a year on from the Uruguayan's 10-game suspension for biting the Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
It is quite a turnaround for a player who missed the first six fixtures of the current campaign because of that incident. In the previous season Suárez was banned and fined for using racial language towards Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.
At that time, there were questions as to whether Suárez would flee English football, but aside from the occasional diving controversy his disciplinary record has improved greatly over the past 12 months and, added to his performances, is said to have even persuaded Evra to vote for him.
Top boys: Eden Hazard (left) and Luis Suárez with their awards in London on Sunday night Photo: PA
Suárez thus took his applause from his peers with the much-coveted individual honour. "The Premier League is full of really great players and so it is a great honour when these players recognise your work on the pitch," he said. "I always try my best for the team and it is nice to get awards but really this is for my team-mates and the staff at Liverpool because without their help I wouldn't have this prize."
The Uruguay forward has scored 30 goals for his club as part of what has been an unexpected title challenge this season, including some of the most exciting individual performances Anfield has witnessed in years. Suárez has been compared to Thierry Henry for his ability to score every type of goal, while he has also been seen as the third-best player in the world behind Cristiano Ronaldo, of Real Madrid, and Barcelona's Lionel Messi. As well as being the Premier League's top goalscorer this season, Suárez is also on course to be the European Golden boot winner.
Suárez headed to London on a private plane immediately after Liverpool's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea, his attendance planned in advance of the game at Anfield. The Uruguayan has been the favourite to win the award for several weeks and is expected to make it an awards double with the Football Writers Association ballot held over the next few weeks.
In the young player category, Hazard beat Sturridge into second place and Southampton teenage left-back Luke Shaw into third.
"It's always good to win awards because it means you've had a good season, but I prefer to win things collectively and I must say thank you to all my Chelsea team-mates, the staff and the fans," he said.
Suárez won the players' vote ahead of his Liverpool team-mates Steven Gerrard and Sturridge, with Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Manchester City's Yaya Touré and Southampton's Adam Lallana also among those nominated.

Richard Fisher, the president of the Dallas Fed, tells off the markets and the media in a speech today for being presumptuous about what the Fed has decided.
"I am afraid that despite recent speculation in the press and among market pundits, we did little to settle the debate as to whether the Committee might actually engage in further monetary accommodation, or what has become known in the parlance of Wall Street as "QE2," a second round of quantitative easing. It would be marked by an expansion of our balance sheet beyond its current footings of $2.3 trillion through the purchase of additional Treasuries or other securities. To be sure, some in the marketplace―including those with the most to gain financially―read the tea leaves of the statement as indicating a bias toward further asset purchases, executed either in small increments or in a "shock-and-awe" format entailing large buy-ins, leaving open only the question of when."
I'm one of the naughty boys in the media. But Mr Fisher has been a bit naughty, too, because he shouldn't be telling us about the last FOMC meeting before publication of the minutes. Read more

While much of the country chattered about the drama at the Vatican, barely a word about it was spoken at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville.
There were two allusions caught by a trio of observers, but they both were asides about Benedict's foray on to Twitter and in neither case was the pope's name actually mentioned.
Otherwise, Rome seemed a galaxy away among this gathering of hundreds of radio, television and electronic media professionals, most of them stolidly conservative evangelicals.
The fact that the Catholic church's troubles and saga received virtually no attention was itself news. The broadcasters as a whole have their roots in a passionate Protestantism that once railed against Catholics and denounced "popery" in particular. Catholicism was commonly condemned as apostate even as Protestants were scolded by Catholics for being outside the "one true church." Not that long ago they might have been belonged to churches that took a certain delight in Catholic troubles as if it vindicated their own rejection of that tradition. But there was no sense of triumph; no apparent desire to revel in the woes of their distant cousin Christians.
An attitude of relaxation and tolerance bordering on benevolence is notable and easy to miss, therefore, especially in an age of historical amnesia. Not ecumenism, exactly, but a measure of peaceful coexistence.
Absence of hostility wasn't as striking, in fact , as was the downright good will toward Catholics in many discussions. These are among the evangelicals whose fight against abortion, same sex marriage and a range of causes associated with the family embrace Catholics who share those views. They have become staunch allies.
At the largely subdued broadcasters' convention, the Obama mandate insisting that non-exempt Catholic institutions must provide birth control resources for employees without cost to the institutions has become the major flash point. It is the main exhibit in an effort to demonstrate that American religious groups like theirs are under attack. The assumption has become widespread among the participants, evoking a level of passion in the midst of their struggles to deal with erosion of Christian commitment and huge challenges posed to their ministries by technology and growing difficulty of reaching young people.
The struggles go a long way toward distracting participants from the contretemps in far off Rome, to be sure, but their inattention to the big stage at the Vatican is perhaps at least as attributable to a major, if sometimes overlooked, step in the right directions in relations between once bitter rivals.

A Full-Cast Dramatization of a Novel By One of Science Fiction's Most Beloved Authors!
This production is based on Douglas Adams' novel of the same name, adapted by Mike Stott and directed by the hugely acclaimed Dirk Maggs.

Essentially a science fiction mystery comedy, the series explores everything from quantum physics, Norse Gods and an electric monk, to Coleridge, Schrodinger, fractal theory, computer software & Bach.
Presented fully dramatized on 4 CDs.

Do you pray sometimes?
To be quite frank with you, I do not pray; nor do I have any need for meditation, although I do meditate. After one has realised the Highest and become consciously one with the Absolute Supreme, one has no need to pray or meditate. But I have a number of disciples, so I meditate for them as I used to meditate for myself many years ago. When I meditate on them, prayer is automatically there because, in trying to help them in their spiritual awakening, I am invoking God's infinite blessings, light and compassion to offer to them.

Hi all
I picked up my first laminated bow blank from Ken at the last Pasadena meet. A sweet looking BBI. I am a noob, Id like to say Ive made 30 bows but a more accurate statement would be that Ive handled 30 staves and 10 or 12 of those became decent bows.
Ive never worked with bamboo or Ipe. I just started to grasp the Mass Principle theoretically and am curious as to how I can apply it to this bow.
Length: 69.5"
Width at fades: 1 5/16"
Width at tips: 5/8"
Non bending handle area: 10.5"
Working limb length: 29"
It looks like it has 2" of reflex. If Ken sees this maybe he can chime in if the measurements are off.
Im planning on 55# at 28" draw and I initially came up with 22oz. I know Ipe is a bit denser and Im not sure if I should calculate in the epoxy mass as well.
Is 22oz in the ballpark? If not, what is the more accurate mass and why am I off?
Currently the blank comes in at 30.1oz
Thanks all!

The music industry is attacking the popular MP3 music format on a regular basis, now trying to introduce their own music standard - charged with fees of course. However, nobody can deny those impressive features of MP3 like high sound quality at comparatively low data storaging requirements. These are the main reasons why the MP3 format is now widely used in more and more areas of our everyday life. Yet, it's hard to estimate the sales quantities for hifi devices with MP3 support, since most users still prefer their computer for playback. On the mobile sector, the story is completely different. Thanks to the fact that there is no need for conventional media such as tapes or CDs, such players can live with only a memory chip, decoder chip and a battery. As there are no moving parts, the wearout is practically zero. Quite important also is the design and the weight. The Creative labs wants to break into this niche by providing decent features with four different colour schemes. This little guy is absolutely uncomplicated and ultra-portable. The dynamic style is particularly very attractive. Also the package is non-standard, as Suma ships the player inside a cool aluminium can. You will find some ear phones, a USB cable, a webbing, a CD and a little bag inside. The good contrasted display has three lines and can also be read at poor light proportions. The first line will show you the artist, line two names the title and below that you will see the play time. To show artist and title correctly, the Creative labs will need MP3 tags. If they shouldn't be available, the player will display the track (or file) name. Unfortunately, the display is limited to 30 characters. If some name is longer, the exceeding characters it will be chopped off. At the top of the display you will also find an indicator for the battery status, volume level and the track number. Most people will be able to use the Creative labs player even without looking into t
he comprehensive manual, as all functions can be used intuitively. There is, for example, treble and bass fine tuning, random and shuffle play and the option to alter contrast. Suma abandoned all kinds of gimmicks - that's something which helps to keep the handling easy. Too many options would complicate use of the Creative labs. In addition, only a few people really make use of toy-functions. The manufacturer also cut off the option to set up personal play lists. Even the software doesn't give you any option to do this. It took about 90 seconds to fill the memory of 32 MB using the USB cable. That is approximately 700 KB/s. You can upgrade the data capacity by 16, 32 or 32 MB by using a Smart Media card. This kind of storage solution is more commonly used in digital photo cameras. At an average 4 minutes per title, the Creative labs will hold approximately 16 titles with 32 MB of memory.
I would like to begin this opinion by stating the fact that I'm not the most computer literate of people. For a long time I wasn't on the "Information Super Highway"; I didn't even have a computer. I've finally crawled out of the Dark Ages, and I got a fine CPU. Once I finally had my computer I was hooked. Soon there afterwards I started adding more and more software to my computer, but there always seemed to be something lacking. Let me give you a bit of background about myself, I love music. It doesn't matter the style or the format I love all music. So needless to say while I was surfing the net a few years back, I was easily annoyed with the multiple formats of music files. Every music file I've ever downloaded off the net, seemed to take forever and the sound quality seemed to be lacking. That has all changed now Not only does the Creative Lab Nomad 32 provide awesome sound quality, but it also lets the user save his music. Now this changes the idea of having to always by your computer to listen to your MP3 files, and it lets you take your music literally anywhere. My favorite thing about the Creative Lab Nomad 32 MP3 player is the fact that anybody can use it. It is compatible any computer, and the installation is so easy, that (believe it or not) I installed it in no time. I recommend the Creative Lab Nomad 32 to everybody, but especially to all music fans. The Creative Lab Nomad 32 is also a great gift for your favorite computer junkie.

Scholar on Global Literature Comes to PCC
On Monday, October 15th, from 2-3pm, Professor Anu Taranath spoke in the Cascade Morarity Auditorium on the importance of reading global writers.
With her Ph.D. from University of California San Diego, Dr. Anu Taranath is a professor in the English Department and the Comparative History of Ideas Program at the University of Washington Seattle since 2000. She is a Fulbright-Hays Scholar, and a recipient of the University of Washington 2010 Distinguished Teaching Award. In addition to her work with wonderful undergraduates in the Seattle classroom, she leads a study abroad program to India on issues of social justice and NGO activism.
Year after year, Taranath routinely earns the highest ratings in the UW's English Department and often remains in close contact with students long after finals week is over. In writing about her teaching, she notes,"My pedagogical philosophy encompasses joy, accountability, camaraderie, and passionate engagement. My students are my greatest colleagues on this campus. I feel that every class is an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion and idea-making, and I am extraordinarily fortunate to have this experience again and again." Her areas of expertise include contemporary world and multi-ethnic literatures; colonial and postcolonial literatures and theory; transnational feminist and cultural studies
In this engaging lecture, Taranath used examples from global literature to showcase this extraordinary body of talented writing and to suggest ways of reading that invite conversation on often difficult topics of power, privilege, voice, and agency. In her talk, she discussed how a novel from Nigeria, Sri Lanka, or Trinidad illuminates local cultures, but also invites us to reflect on our own culture, be it in Gresham, Hillsboro, or North Portland. She noted that when characters and stories in novels speak like us or seem totally dissimilar, in figuring this out during our reading process, we begin to form an impression of what we are like, how we define ourselves, and where these definitions come from. Literature from around the globe helps us picture "people over there" and brings texture and depth to our lives "over here."

You will gain more respect in a series with over 10 riders that stand a chance of winning, rather racing in moto gp where theres only 3/4 riders that you have to beat for the race win. WSB is top dog! Just because moto gp has the fastest bikes, does not mean its the best series. I honestly dont understand anyone who can seriously say moto gp is more exciting racing than WSB. And as a bonus WSB has 2 races whoich makes it even better! Good choice Max, you know where its at! 45 agree 11 disagree

Steelers hoping that youth movement breathes life into team
Just like that — boom! — they were gone.
All those players who'd become so familiar over all those years, almost like extended members of countless Steelers fans' families — Casey and Keisel, James Harrison and Hines, LaMarr Woodley and Larry Foote, Mike Wallace and Emmanuel Sanders.
Ike Taylor was here for all of them, and now he's here for Ryan Shazier and Jarvis Jones, Stephon Tuitt and David DeCastro — all part of what might be the Steelers' most dramatic overhaul since the early days of the Chuck Noll regime.
"The last two years, regardless of how you want to look at it, this team did a facelift," Taylor said Monday. "Quietly."
It certainly did. When the Steelers open against the Browns on Sept. 7, they likely will have only three defensive starters remaining from their 2012 opener in Denver and only 14 of 24 starters overall, counting the punter and kicker.
"We always talk about reloading — we reloaded fast in the last two years," Taylor said. "We went from a veteran old group to a majority young group. It happened before our eyes. I told Coach T (Mike Tomlin), man, this team is young."
This is the team that could provide the foundation — and set the tone for either winning or losing — for the rest of the 2010s.
"Oh, yeah," Taylor said. "It's a vibrant team. They come with new clothing, new slang, a whole new atmosphere, a different vibe. They're looking at you as a veteran guy, but at the same time, I'm looking at them like, 'Hey, man, what you all got new for me?' It's a good feel."
Only six starters, three on either side of the ball, remain from the 2011 opener.
During the process, they've shaved four years off the median age of the starting defense. Only four starters who are 30 or older remain: Taylor, Polamalu, Ben Roethlisberger and Heath Miller.
"The success of this team will be determined by the pace at which the young group develops, not only this year's draft class, but last year's," general manager Kevin Colbert said.
What the Steelers are going through is not totally dissimilar to that transformation when Noll arrived in 1969; by 1972, when they went 11-3, very few starters remained.
"This wasn't a conscious (makeover)," Colbert said. "It's just how it evolves. Our team in the mid-2000s was successful. You hold out as long as you can, but at some point, you have to replenish it, especially when you haven't been successful the last two years.
"This is just the natural progression. Teams go through cycles, organizations go through cycles."
For comparison's sake, the Steelers changed only one starter on offense and one on defense between their Super Bowl-winning season of 2008 and '09.
Colbert learned in 2004 how the injection of new players — and the right players — can make a difference. After going 6-10 in 2003, the Steelers drafted Ben Roethlisberger and went on to go 15-1 and reached the AFC title game in '04.
"It's painful to go through that losing season (like 2003) where you totally bomb," Colbert said.
This makeover is the result of successive 8-8 records that did not please ownership.
"If we add the right people, and he (Roethlisberger) continues to do his job, I would hope we wouldn't be 8-8 again," Colbert said.
"We expect more from Jarvis Jones, we expect more from Le'Veon Bell, we expect more from Markus Wheaton. If they progress as expected, in addition to this year's class, then we might have something."

"I was talking to a Congressional office," Bob Novak reported
on Crossfire. "They told me that the phone calls coming in
were 571 against the war, 3 for the war. You got that? [The
unnamed congressman] is going 100 percent for George Bush,
not saying a word of criticism, because he knows it's the
nuts calling in and that the real people are supporting the
As one of the "nuts calling in," I was taken aback. Did a
congressman actually say that? Is that how America's representatives
feel? Given the arrogance of the congressman's assertion,
it seems some of us need to hightail it to the Land of Leahy
and Jeffords to get the representation our taxation is rumored
to buy.
A couple days later, on Resolution Day, my senses were similarly
assaulted; this time, via e-mail from MSNBC's Hardball. "Of
course Byrd went on another tirade this morning," it read,
and I wondered how Byrd's "tirade" could possibly be an annoyance,
considering what's at stake. "I know what you're thinking,"
the e-mail assured. "'Stop having all the anti-war folks on!'
Don't worry, we're gonna have some Hawks on too."
So, great. While Congressman Gough-Tohell says I'm crazy,
MSNBC thinks it is reading my mind. "We know you want war,"
Hardball implies, taking "manufacturing consent," to a whole
new level. Well, thank you very much, but does anyone really
believe there aren't enough hawks on TV? A day without Richard
Perle is a day without sunshine! And dissenting generals aside,
why did Hardball's email say that "everyone's for war?" Didn't
they get the memo about anti-war protests? Tens of thousands,
and countless others, marginalized, just like that. "You're
either with us or you're whacko." Yessireebob.
I tried to imagine who might be among Bob Novak's nuts. Not
the folks at Hardball, that's for sure. "Maybe Jimmy Carter?,"
I mused. After all, didn't he say Congress was wrong to pass
its resolution on Iraq? And what about George Tenet, who says
Saddam won't attack us unless we attack him first? And could
the 50,000 citizens who e-mailed Sen. Byrd last week be whacked-out,
too? Or what about the 20,000 who called him in support? Those
people have been radicalized by the lies they've been told,
and the helplessness and voicelessness of it all, I bet. Congressman
Gough-Tohell's constituents, perhaps? And what, pray tell,
separates the "nuts" from the "real people?"
New York Daily News reporter Lars-Erik Nelson would
have made Novak's list, I think. Because while other Americans
were congratulating themselves for so being reasonably impotent
during the 2000 brouhaha, Nelson deemed the Bush campaign's
post-election ploys "a mugging." Outraged and outspoken, he
drew attention to the blatantly undemocratic shenanigans in
Florida. "If you want to know the truth, I blame the Bush
campaign for the death of Nelson," New York Observer
columnist Ron Rosenbaum wrote. . . . "[He] saw what was going
on in Florida early on, and he didn't see it with any equanimity:
One of his colleagues at the Daily News called him on the
day of his death, the afternoon of the televised Florida Supreme
Court argument, and recalled Nelson crying out, "I can't believe
they said that!" over some outrageous assertion by the lawyers
for Ms. Harris and Mr. Bush. A few hours later, he was found
in front of his television set, dead of a stroke. No one will
convince me it was unrelated."
That kind of caring can be deadly. Yes, it can.
Filmmaker Steve Tesich might be another Novakian nut. Best
known for films like "Four Friends" and "Breaking
Away," Tesich died of a massive heart attack at age 53.
"America killed him," his sister Nadia claimed, which, admittedly,
sounds extreme. But like brilliant writers before him, Tesich
served as a lightening rod for the rest of us, especially
in his outrage over the soulless propaganda perpetuated on
TV. Awakened by "the deadly display, advertising of weapons,
and destruction during the US war on Iraq," Steve was appalled
by the "lack of opposition in the media." So he wrote to combat
untruths and dilute the propaganda. His essays went largely
"My brother suffered," Professor Nadia Tesich wrote, "Silently
most of the time. He suffered because he thought he was an
important writer, whose voice ought to be heard. He suffered
because most of the people around him, even old friends, appeared
brainwashed, brain-dead. He suffered more than I because he
loved America once. That love turned against him. Yes, it
can kill you.
"He suffered because he woke up and with amazing speed
and brilliance he saw what the USA did to us, and to their
own people, and to the rest of the world. It was easier for
me. I was immunized from before -- Vietnam, Chile, Panama,
Guatemala -- the list is long.
"He was only a writer, romantic, sweetly naive, full
of optimism until 1990. He was unprepared. His awakening was
deadly. He could not imagine his future in this new world
order, faster, more deadly every minute as I write. He feared
the day when his work will be censored entirely, the way it
had happened to me. Here in Amerika. He wrote to expose, to
bear witness against this era, this monster without an adequate
name or a real face, so people will know many years later
that someone objected."
Yes, he objected then and we object now - no matter how many
congressmen or pundits pooh-and pooh our concerns. America
is on the eve of waging an unconscionable preemptive war,
with murky motivations, and, as more of us see this, more
will object. Because we too are waking up "with amazing speed
and brilliance." We see what Lars-Erick Nelson saw and what
Steve Tesich saw and what Mark Twain saw, even as far back
as 1905.
Casting a Novakian nut as the centerpiece of his anti-imperialist
tale, "The War Prayer," Twain took on the hypocritical righteousness
of pious warmongers. Arriving with "a message from Almighty
God," Twain's hero, his unearthly "stranger," dramatizes the
duality in praying for God's blessing, which, conversely,
calls for others' hardships. The climax occurs when Twain's
messenger recites this uncensored prayer:
". . . . O Lord our God, help us tear their soldiers to bloody
shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields
with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown
the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded,
writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes
with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their
unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn
them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended
in the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and
thirst, sports of the sun flames in summer and the icy winds
of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring
thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it-- For our sakes
who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives,
protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps,
water their way with their tears, strain the white snow with
the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit
of love, of Him Who us the Source of Love, and Who is the
ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset
and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen. "
"It was believed afterward that the man was a lunatic," Twain
wrote, "because there was no sense in what he said."
So, yes, even though FOX has replaced Twain's altar as our
propaganda podium and though lengthy sermons are now found
in the "Gospel According to 'Showdown With Saddam!,' the message
doesn't change. Because the fiercely anti-imperialist Mark
Twain understood where Bob Novak and Congressman Gough-Tohell
were coming from. He understood, all to well, the sickness
that equates sanity with soulnessness, and approves of ends
justifying means. After all, this sickness gave smallpox to
Indians and root to slavery; it bred hatred towards abolitionists
and killed four at Kent State. Echoed in "Heil Hitler," and
Coliseum cheers, it's a sickness writers like Twain, Nelson
and Tesich sense early on. And though they warn us, they are
dismissed and vilified by the likes of Congressman Gough-Tohell,
until Truth wins out, and the folly in ignoring them is acknowledged.
As the pre-fabricated Bush, Inc. war approaches (alongside
the ridiculous façade that the president wants peace), we'll
soon learn which side is crazy. But, in time, Bob Novak and
his congressman may very well wish they'd listened to the
nuts. After all, History is on the nuts' side.

Southern Caribbean on the Celebrity Summit: Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by CTFireChief
Overall Member Rating
Southern Caribbean on the Celebrity Summit
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
My stateroom was a balcony cabin # 6036. It was spacious, comfortable, clean & well maintained by Neves, a fine cabin steward. There were plenty of drawers & closet space & the bed was comfortable. I had no toilet issues, but several of our group that had Concierge Level cabins did for a few days. After some pressure from our Travel Agent, who accompanied us, they were given $100 onboard credit & dinner in the Normandie for their inconvenience, which seemed fair.
The food was better than I had expected -it was outstanding actually. Though I would say that service in the main dining room (Cosmopolitan Restaurant) was slower than I More preferred (there was a lot of down time over a 2 hour meal.) The buffet was very varied, and was always very good! There were Eggs Benedict at the breakfast buffet each morning & sushi every day at 530p. There was also pizza & a nice pasta station available most of the day/evening. My favorite spot on the ship after we returned from excursions, & during our one sea day was the Waterfall Cafe Bar on Deck 10 aft. It's a great spot for sail away! Devon, the bartender was very attentive & friendly. The best part though, was that is where Charlie Butler, a guitar player entertained each day from 430-530p (and again at 10p.) I especially enjoyed his spirited poking fun at the "Flag Guy" who would come up from the engine room each day once we left port, to lower the Maltese national ensign off the stern. That was something to look forward to in & of itself! Kudos to the Celebrity Summit for hosting a terrific Superbowl Party in the Celebrity Theatre. Lot's of fun & food (& drink available for purchase.) Because of the Superbowl, they moved the first formal night to the following night (Monday.)
One of the things that I noted, and really enjoyed was the involvement of the ships officers' with the guests (& not like on Carnival where the officers are cruising the bars at night seeking out the female guests.) There were several events that many of the ships officers were involved in. "Dancing with the Stripes" their onboard version of Dancing with the Stars! Ships officers (male & female) would team-up with guests for a dance contest that was judged by an American Idol like panel of judges. The Captain, who could often be seen walking about the ship & also mingling with guest's, held a very informative Q&A in one of the lounges (with the Hotel Director & Chief Engineer on the last day.) Then there was the Officer's vs. Guests pool volleyball game. We won 2 games to 1! Lots of fun & all were very well done! It was a nice touch.
Entertainment was what you would usually find on any ship. Production shows were good -but nothing special. Guitarist Charlie Butler and the Piano Bar pianist Tammy Rafferty were really terrific! They only had one comedian, although he did appear on two different nights. His name is Don Gavin -& he was very funny! I do think they should do a late night comedy show, at least on one night. Singer/Musician/Impersonator Travis Turpin was pretty good too -but he should expand his repertoire with tunes that people are more familiar with. He is no doubt a talented guy though. They also had two dance bands (one Latin,) an Acapella Quartet, and a violinist/accordion playing duo, as well as a party band called Fusion that played every night. There was a movie theater onboard as well. And, of course a casino!
I really liked that Celebrity was not pushy with photos, drinks, excursions, bingo, in port shopping or really marketing of any kind. It was there, but not in your face. That alone will get me back! The cruise Director, Keith Cox was easily one of the best I've seen in nearly 20 cruises! He is very professional, always visible, and frequently interacting with the guests. This was Keith's last week on the Celebrity Summit, and when he returns from vacation he will be on the Celebrity Infinity doing Alaska (as will Charlie Butler & Tammy Rafferty -you have to believe Keith personally assembles a strong entertainment package for whatever ship he is on!)
Our Travel Agent put together a few private excursions for our group.
In St. Croix, USVI we did a catamaran/snorkeling sail on the Renegade by Cap'n Big Beards out of Christiansted (http://bigbeards.com/). We were picked up at the ship by bus, & transported across St. Croix from the pier in Frederiksted. After a brief "warm-up" snorkel stop along the way, our destination was the reef at Buck Island, a US National Park. Buck Island has a very healthy reef -the type that I've only seen previously while scuba diving. Buck Island is really a great destination. We saw much coral of many varieties, and plenty of fish including barracuda! We made a stop on the way back at a private beach area for a nice lunch of burgers, dogs, & Mahi-mahi, and of course rum punch!
In Bassterre, St. Kitts we did another catamaran/snorkeling sail (65' Irie Lime) with Blue Water Safari's (http://www.bluewatersafaris.com/) that included a snorkeling stop at Shitten Bay (where I saw an Caribbean reef octopus), followed by a terrific lunch onboard the catamaran, and then a few hours of beach time on Paradise Beach in Nevis. The beach was OK, but certainly nothing to write home about. The crew was excellent & it really was a great day! Rum punch-a-plenty! The marina with the catamaran was located just a short walk from the ship. (I did the scenic railway tour last time I was in St. Kitts, & would have done that again if not for this catamaran trip!)
In Roseau, Dominica I had set up a trip for 7 of us from my group with ExtremeDominica (http://www.extremedominica.com/) to go "canyoning." We were met by the owner Richard, who brought us to his shop in Trafalgar (in the rainforest) for equipment fitting & a short training exercise. We donned our wetsuits, helmets, & harnesses (& I rented a Go Pro helmet cam for $35) and headed to the canyons. They have great videos on their website of canyoning. They are very professional, extremely safety conscious & informative. It's an experience that I am very glad that I did! Thank you Richard, Jeffrey, & Nagi for the experience -& Liz for the great lunch after! All very well done!
In St. George's Grenada we used Sunsation Tours (http://grenadasunsation.com/) for a 7 hour island tour. Our driver/guide was Carl. He used a microphone, spoke clearly & was very informative. I'd definitely ask for him if I did this again! We went to the Goyauve Nutmeg Processing Station, Annandale Waterfall, Grand Etang National Park & Crater Lake, through the rainforest, Fort Frederick, and then a fabulous lunch at The Beach House near Grand Anse Beach in St. George's. We were supposed to stop at Grand Anse Beach, but time just didn't allow it. I do believe that we saw every single product that they grow in Grenada on this tour! Grenada is a great place to get gifts for friends/family. They sell sealed bags containing 5-6 different spices for $5. (All spices that you bring home must be sealed.) The #1 spice to buy in Grenada is Saffron, because it is very expensive back home. Grenada is a lush beautiful volcanic island. To this day, Grenadians remain very appreciative of Americans, because of our Marines & Rangers liberating them after a Cuban government backed coup in 1983 -where 18 US servicemen were killed, and 116 were wounded. A tour guide at Fort Frederick made sure that we knew that.
In Scarborough, Tobago we hired a taxi to bring us to Pigeon Point Beach. When we walked off the ship, the "hassle factor" was pretty high. Lots of pushy people trying to get you to take a taxi or tour of some kind with them, much like in Jamaica. They were insistent on our taxi ride being "two way" & wanted a time to pick us up (and I didn't want to have to leave the beach at a predetermined time.) After telling them many times that isn't what I wanted, we finally just walked away. We were approached by a taxi driver who said he'd just bring us there. His name was Curtis, and he was an off-duty police officer driving a taxi on his day off. He was very friendly, and he still offered to set up a pick up time, but was fine with "no." Pigeon Point was a nice beach, very shallow with a small reef to snorkel. I saw that many people took glass bottom boat rides there. There were plenty of places to buy food & a "Stag," the T&T beer! There were plenty of rest rooms & outdoor showers to rinse off as well. Oddly enough, when we were ready to leave Pigeon Point, he had just dropped someone else off & approached me to see if we needed a ride back to the ship! There would have been no trouble getting a taxi there, but we gladly accepted!
Unfortunately Celebrity uses the Pan American Pier -not within walking distance to Old San Juan. My return flight wasn't until 7p, so we stayed on the ship until about 1030A, then I, and others in my group took a taxi into Old San Juan, checked our bags at the Barrachina Restaurant in Old San Juan & walked around town for a few hours & then came back to Barrachina for a great meal before heading to the airport! A very relaxing day after a very active cruise!
I know it's a long review, but I hope that you'll find it helpful!!! The ship & crew were terrific (Captain said at Q&A Summit was going into drydock in January 2012 for updating) The itinerary was terrific too. I wish I did a back-to-back! Less

Angry anglers weigh in on fishy tale of record catches
Page Tools
EVERY angler has a story about the one that got away. An increasing number, however, are uncharacteristically silent about the whopper they caught but are not allowed to talk about or even photograph.
The growing trend for Britain's lakes and fishing clubs to ban anglers from discussing record catches has been highlighted by the case of Norman Ward, who has just landed the country's biggest eel.
"Norman the plumber", as he is known to friends, was on a night fish for carp in Hertfordshire when he beat the 1978 British eel record. His joy at catching a monster so big that he could not get his hand around the eel's girth was quickly tempered by a strict "no publicity" order from his club, The Fisheries, near Harefield.
The Fisheries, like a growing number of lakes and clubs up and down the country, has threatened to ban members if they try to claim a record catch. They fear that such a move will encourage poachers and other non-members to plunder their waters.
Mr Ward is unhappy with the situation although his club's ban prevents him from airing any grievance.
It is believed that he was even warned by other members that he must not photograph the eel before returning it to the lake. However, he did weigh it, witnessed by other members.
Ian Grant, the secretary of The Fisheries, refused to discuss the catch. He said: "We have a long history of people wanting to publicise catches and we have always said 'no'. If this capture is published, we will take action. I can only assume that the rule came in because people didn't want to publicise the fact that there could be some good fish here."
John Freeman, the treasurer of The Fisheries, was equally unbending. "The rules are clear. There is no publicity at all. The captor can write to the committee, but that's up to him, and the decision has to come from the committee as a whole. But he won't be able to claim a record because no photographs were taken."

I would like to thank you and the team at Dream Kitchens for your assistance, dedication and exceptional quality in the production of the one off bathroom vanities installed into my home. These were truly innovative products...
I was commenting to Glen on the weekend how beautiful the kitchen is. I was again admiring the work you did on the front of the stove exhaust. The whole thing through out is really beautiful and I (we) really love it. I thought the person I should share this with is you and I hope you will also pass on my thanks and admiration to your father and the rest of your team.
It was an absolute pleasure working with you. Your knowledge, attention to detail, and professionalism gave us the confidence you would produce a first class job. Your management of the project and ability to work closely with our builders produced a kitchen we are truly delighted with and very proud of.
You and your team proved time and again that your attention to detail, diligence, flexibility, tenacity and highest standards of craftsmanship succeeded in making this undertaking a complete success. To us it was remarkable to see that we had found a team of collaborators, which was bold enough to adopt and facilitate our vision, think outside the square and improve the living spaces in our house.
Dream Kitchens were on time, reliable, great quality workmanship, cared about the end product and accessible to answer questions and provide suggestions along the way.I would happily work with them again and recommend Dream Kitchens.
We found Alan and the team to be very responsive to our requirements and those of our builder. They had fantastic attention to detail. We were extremely happy with the final work and Alan made sure every piece was completed to his high standards.

The lack of quality sources of entropy in cloud computing environment is a problem that has gained considerable attention this year, and has consequences that permeate the entire fabric of cryptography in enterprises. Virtual machines typically lack physical hardware devices that provide random noise, such as microphones, wireless adapters, or serial bus interrupts. Monitoring network interrupts generated by traffic (such as ARP requests) is one of the few sources of unpredictable input in cloud networks, but even that traffic can be somewhat scarce in some networks. Without sufficient randomness, servers routinely generate vulnerable TLS certificates and predictable RSA/DSA private SSH keys.
In this session, well discuss a draft RFC, proposing a network protocol for peer-to-peer exchange of randomness, review an open source implementation of that protocol in C, consider the results of some entropy quality tests, propose its inclusion as an OpenStack Incubator project. Well consider the opportunity for collaboration among cloud guests to interchange randomness in ways that defy predictably from outside observers, internal users, as well as offline users.
We'll also discuss other potential solutions to the problem, such as passing through Intel's new DRNG to guests, extending Nova to seed guests with better entropy through a virtio or disk device, as well as other suggestions brought by attendees.

The Bearden Bulldogs and West Greene Buffaloes met Saturday afternoon at Grace Christian School to help raise needed money for the medical expenses of injured Kingston sophomore football player Seth Haynes. Thanks in large part to the CARE-acter Star program, the game was successful in its mission. Thousands of dollars were raised on Saturday. Hardin Valley and William Blount met in Game 2 of the doubleheader.
As for the football game, the Bulldogs set the tone early, scoring on their opening 65-yard drive. Quarterback Xavier Johnson's 64-yard TD run was the key play. Bearden would make it 14-0 later in the first period as Xavier Johnson teamed up with senior Emad Aqqad on a 6-yard touchdown pass in the corner of the south end zone.
The Buffaloes answered with a tally of their own in the opening quarter on Austin Greenlee's 20-yard strike to Trebor Wilson. The Dogs led 14-7 after one period.
Bearden increased their advantage to 21-7 by halftime, thanks to a 10-yard touchdown reception by Matthew Marlow (from Xavier Johnson). John Matthew Lee's third consecutive PAT gave the Bulldogs their 14-point halftime lead.
Sophomore running back Chase Berry capped his 140-yard performance with a 7-yard TD mid-way through period number three.
West Greene responded moments later with a 2-yard touchdown plunge by senior Colton Madison. The Buffaloes ran a fake PAT to perfection and Jonathan Padgett raced in for the 2-point conversion.
The Dogs carried a 27-15 lead into the final quarter, but weren't through scoring yet.
Senior Tommy Smith made it 33-15 with 8:29 to go on a 6-yard TD run.
Bearden's defense held the Buffaloes scoreless over the final 15 minutes of play to ice the victory. Both teams played well Saturday and met at midfield following the game in a display of sportsmanship and support for Seth Haynes. Referees donated their services on Saturday.

In the week following 9/11/12 something big happened: the collapse of the Cairo Doctrine, the centerpiece of President Obama's foreign policy. It was to reset the very course of post-9/11 America, creating, after the (allegedly) brutal depredations of the Bush years, a profound rapprochement with the Islamic world.
On June 4, 2009, in Cairo, Obama promised "a new beginning" offering Muslims "mutual respect," unsubtly implying previous disrespect. Curious, as over the previous 20 years, America had six times committed its military forces on behalf of oppressed Muslims, three times for reasons of pure humanitarianism (Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo), where no U.S. interests were at stake.
But no matter. Obama had come to remonstrate and restrain the hyperpower that, by his telling, had lost its way after 9/11, creating Guantanamo, practicing torture, imposing its will with arrogance and presumption.
First, he would cleanse by confession. Then he would heal. Why, given the…

The piece was a tribute, created by the late Manchester artist Sol Garson, to the former South African president.
It will be presented by Manchester's Lord Mayor, Tom O'Callaghan, to Denis Goldberg, a political activist imprisoned alongside Mandela.
After the ceremony on Tuesday, the sculpture will be sent to South Africa.
A commemorative plaque on the sculpture reads: "Nelson Mandela: Lawyer and Politician and a National Organiser of the African National Congress sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964 by the South African Regime."
'Inspirational figure'
Councillor Van Stevens, deputy leader of Manchester City Council, said: "It's wonderful having held this sculpture in trust for all these years to be able to return it to the man who was such an inspirational figure not only to the person who created it, but to so many people all over the world."
Nelson Mandela remains one of the world's most revered statesman, who led the struggle to replace the apartheid regime of South Africa with a multi-racial democracy.
Despite many years in jail, he emerged to become the country's first black president and to play a leading role in the drive for peace in other spheres of conflict. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
Since stepping down as president in 1999, Mr Mandela has become South Africa's highest-profile ambassador, campaigning against HIV and Aids and securing his country's right to host the 2010 football World Cup.

Mr Mittal, worth £14.8bn according to the Sunday Times, praised Labour for boosting prosperity in the UK.
He also backed policies on health, education, skills and technology.
Mr Mittal sparked 2002's Steelgate row when it was revealed Tony Blair backed his bid for a Romanian firm shortly after he donated £125,000 to Labour.
The magnate has always denied any link between the donation and the letter. At the time Downing Street said that the prime minister was just doing what he normally do for any British businessman.
'Generous donation'
A Labour spokesman confirmed that the £2m was one of the largest ever received by the party.
He said: "We are grateful to everyone who contributes whatever they can to the Labour Party.
"We appreciate this very generous donation and thank Lakshmi Mittal for his continued support."
Mr Mittal is the chairman and chief executive of the Mittal Steel Company - the world's biggest steel firm.

Cost Cutting Has Gone Too Far: Ryndam Cruise Review by LORDBOWDON
Overall Member Rating
Cost Cutting Has Gone Too Far
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
My first Ryndam cruise was 14 years ago when there were 1100 pax and 800 crew. With additions of cabins, there are now 1300 pax, but staff have been cut to 500. Where this is really noticeable is in the dining room, where waiters now have to take care of 32 - yes thirty-two diners, compared with 16 many years ago. Consequently the whole dining experience takes nearly 2 hours. On our cruise, the two maitre d's spent their entire time, evening after evening, placating irritable diners, and attendance dropped off, probably as people decided to slum it in the Lido to save time.
It makes no sense that the most visible aspect of the cruise experience, dining, should be trashed to save a few bucks. This cruise was for me, among the least More expensive I have taken, yet there have been 14 years of inflation since my first cruise. Prices should have gone up, not down. I would rather pay more and have exceptional service.
In addition to lack of wait staff, "formal" night lost much of its magic when shabbily dressed individuals were allowed to dine in the main dining room with those of us who had taken the trouble to dress up. When the Lido exists as an alternative, free, dining option, ONLY formal should be allowed in the main dining room on formal night.
The other major issue which MUST be addressed by HAL management, as it might contribute to deaths of elderly passengers, was their total lack of preparedness for a surprise coastguard inspection at Tampa on Boarding day. No-one was allowed to board until 2pm, by which time, 800 people were in line, most from 11am (when priority boarding normal begins). HAL provided no information, no seats, and no liquid refreshment during this time, when all 800 were standing in a long line outside the port terminal, many in the sun without shade. With many passengers on walkers and clearly infirm, this was an absolute, inexcusable disgrace. Yes, the timing of the inspection was a surprise, but HAL knows that inspections and other unforeseen circumstances occur and should have contractors on standby at every port who can supply water and chairs when needed.
I seriously doubt if HAL management ever travel as "fare paying passengers", and the bean counters obviously don't understand the "value equation". With self service luggage tag printing on your home computer, instead of nice, ship's name plastic tags, (what a negative, cheap start to a cruise), the next cost cutting step will be self service in the main ding room!
Yet as I say, Cozumel, Roatan, Guatemala and Costa Maya are a nice group of ports. Why the company makes us depart at 3.30pm, eliminating the ability for full exploration, to sail at 10 kts to the next port, is beyond me. As one of the entertainers joked, "If I don't buy it on Monday, I won't buy it on Friday". A vast majority of the guests on this cruise did not ever leave the ship - so why make those who want to explore curtail their day ashore. Ah - silly me - the casino machines aren't allowed when the boat is tied up!
Finally, one area which has been restored to its former glory was the entertainment. There were 9 singers and dancers who were top notch - the latest show "Classique" is magnificent.
So, advice to HAL - raise prices by $100, bring back the waiters, allow an extra 2 hours in each port, and communicate with passengers when a problem occurs. Otherwise, your guests may as well choose one of the "lesser" lines. Less

The credit rating of Adelaide-based debenture issuer Angas Securities has been cut as the group faces rising liquidity pressure and concerns about its asset quality.
Angas, which has about $300 million of debentures on issue, had its rating cut from 'B+' to 'B' and was placed on CreditWatch with negative implications.
S&P credit analyst Lisa Barrett said the moves reflected a view that Angas' s liquidity position had weakened as a result of the finance company's inability to raise debenture funding from new investors due to a regulatory request from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission that the company cease taking debentures from new investors.
"In our view, liquidity could come under further pressure from a potential weakening in existing debenture holder support," she said.
Angas's high level of arrears – $69.9 million or about 30 per cent of its loan portfolio at the end of February – could put pressure on Angas's already small capital base and weak capital adequacy position, S& P said.
Angas executive chairman Andrew Luckhurst-Smith blamed a delay in a report being prepared on behalf of the fund's trustee, Trust Company, for its difficulties in raising funds. The trustee has had a draft of the report since mid-February and he is seeking an explanation.
Trust Co is reviewing a number of debenture issues and a spokesman said, "it is our ongoing role to monitor and supervise those companies in the best interests of debenture holders".

His visage would have been the more sanguine, which was now so pale of colour, because of the dolour that was his.
Who can measure what the pain of this Fifth dolour was to Mary!
dolour comes to him, indeed: you have spoken 20 truer than you purposed.
When she might read the writing she learned of the great pain and dolour that her lover suffered by day and by night.
Bot fear and dolour had so seazed the hartis of all, that thei could admitt no consolatioun.
Sir Volmor came home from the red field of strife, Then tidings assailed him, with dolour so rife.
But the dolour of my mind was surpassed by the discomfort of my body.
He bade me good day with a sigh, and called into his face an expression of dolour which I knew was assumed for my benefit.
When Calandrino heard this, he fell a-roaring for dolour and said, 'Woe's me!
But for the shame and dolour he would not ride to King Arthur's court, but rode another way.

[1]Celebrities earn top dollar. Everyone knows that. But it takes REAL fame to earn big paydays after a celebrity is dead. Income sources like image rights, royalties and licensing fees don't stop just because one has passed on. There's still money to be made from beyond the grave.

Katey Walter
Katey M. Walter Anthony is an Alaskan aquatic ecologist and biogeochemist researching carbon and nutrient cycling between terrestrial and aquatic systems, and the cryosphere and atmosphere.
Walter Anthony's research focuses on methane and carbon dioxide emissions from arctic and temperate lakes and wetlands in Alaska and Siberia, and the processes involved in greenhouse gas emissions from lakes, including thermokarst (permafrost thaw), industrial plant emissions, geology, and changes in lake area. By using environmental gradients, isotopes, and remote sensing as tools, she hopes for an improved understanding of the basic processes in lake ecosystems. Many newly formed Arctic lakes have bacteria feeding on plant detritus previously frozen underground and producing methane as a waste product. Methane's contribution to the greenhouse effect is considerably more than that of carbon dioxide. Global warming extrapolations could be grossly underestimated if methane contributions from lakes have not been properly studied and are not taken into account. Studies of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica have shown that in the early Holocene Period, between 14 000 and 11 500 years ago, methane concentration in the atmosphere spiked and was from a northern source. These spikes would be cyclic, coinciding with and aggravating global warming.
Honours, awards and achievements[edit]
In March 2007 Walter Anthony was appointed the Presidential International Polar Year Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. Walter Anthony, who is fluent in Russian, works as project coordinator at Chersky for joint Russian-U.S. projects over the International Polar Year, aiming to network arctic observatories in Alaska and Russia for long term monitoring of climate change in cold regions.
Walter Anthony, who has conducted research projects in Russia, Germany, Central America and the United States, has an M.Sc in Ecology from the University of California, Berkeley with emphasis on the biogeochemistry of invasive aquatic plants. She also holds a BSc in Biogeochemistry from Mount Holyoke College.
In May 2006 she was awarded a Ph.D. in Aquatic Biology from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. In December of the same year the United States Council of Graduate Schools recognised her outstanding work in her doctoral dissertation by awarding her the CGS/UMI Distinguished Dissertation Award in Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Engineering. This biennial award recognises doctoral recipients who have made considerable contributions in their field. [1][2]
Walter Anthony is an enthusiastic mountaineer and skier, a certified scientific diver, and plays the cello.

We are entering our 3rd month of 2014, how are you doing with your fitness goals? Have you given up already? Did you try a new diet or fitness regimen that you haven't done before ? I think it's kinda neat to see what is trending when it comes to diets. Check out these stats for the end of 2013 and rising in popularity since 2012.
The Top Ten Diets (week ending 12/22/13):
1. Paleo Diet
2. Metabolism Miracle Diet
3. Atkins Diet
4. Gluten Diet
5. Diabetic Diet
6. South Beach Diet
7. Military Diet
8. Mediterranean Diet
9. Cabbage Soup Diet
10. Dash Diet
The Top Ten Rising Diets (The diets that have risen in popularity the most since 2012)
1. Metabolism Miracle Diet
2. Dash Diet
3. Heart Healthy Diet
4. Beyonce Diet
5. Bodybuilder Diet
6. Juice Diet
7. HCG Diet
8. Caveman Diet
9. ABC Diet
10. Master Cleanse Diet
– data comes from EMS access to information from the 68 most popular search engines.
I myself have not tried any of these diets. My hubby did the Atkins diet, did well but gained all the weight back. How funny that there is a diet called the Beyonce diet. Really? How original is that! LOL!!
I think I need to come up with a diet. How about, eat to live diet. Stop shoving crap in your mouth, boxed meals, foods with ingredients you can't pronounce, things in jars and cans that will never go bad, over processes, loaded with fake sugar, msg, dye, etc. Just eat clean, fruits, veggies, protein, nuts, whole grains, good carbs, and even a sweet treat every now and then.
It is so sad to see all these Mom's shoving McDonald's at their kids, or sending them off to school with what they think is a healthy snack because the TV said so, when in all reality it is something packed with sugar and ick. People need to read labels more, and stop thinking that it is to expensive or to hard to feed a family healthy. You can feed your family healthy, on a budget.
Don't worry if you have slightly lost sight of your health goals for 2014. Get up, brush yourself off and get back on track. Don't put yourself on a "diet", put yourself on a life style change. It is easier to keep up with and offers way more leeway so you don't beat yourself up if you slip here or there. But, all in all, aside from changing the way you eat, make sure you are grooving your body. MOVE IT to LOSE IT!
