WaPo Ignores Republican Criticism of Lack of Drilling in Energy Bill
Washington Post staffers Jonathan Weisman and Steven Mufson gaver readers of the December 7 paper an article on a "comprehensive energy bill" that passed the House of Representatives without delving into Republican criticism that the bill lacks any provision to produce or procure more energy domestically, such as from interior and off-shore natural gas and oil reserves.
Weisman and Mufson noted in the lede that the bill will raise "fuel-efficiency standards" and "require increased use of renewable energy sources" and later quickly dispatched with Republican opposition by finely chopping Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner's (R-Ohio) criticism:
Even House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) -- who assails the measure as a "no-energy" bill and as a tax increase that would raise, not lower, energy costs -- lauded the CAFE (corporate average fuel efficiency) standards as a good and reasonable compromise.
Oh really? On it's "Online Newshour" Web page, PBS -- hardly a right-wing news venue -- gave readers more of Boehner's critical quote:
Republicans derided it as a "no energy bill" because it doesn't open new U.S. acreage to oil and natural gas drilling, Reuters reported. They said the bill will do nothing to curb soaring prices for gasoline and home heating fuels.
"There's nothing in here that's going to lower gas prices in America ... nothing that is going to help American families deal with heating costs this winter ... nothing to increase production," said Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.
In the Washington Post front pager, not once do the words "drilling" or "natural gas" occur, although Republicans and conservatives often hit environmentalists and Democrats for opposing drilling for natural gas in the Rockies or for oil in ANWR or the Gulf of Mexico.

A far cry from racing sims, Reckless Racing 2 injects giant thrills into miniature racing. Standing on the shoulders of the original, it attempts to bring the fun of classic racing games to the small screen. When we reviewed Reckless Racing in 2010, it couldn't quite get into top gear. Can Reckless Racing 2 get a better drive?
Career mode offers new cars and upgrades to fill your garage as you earn prize money, and you'll need them too, as each race has its own entry requirements you'll have to match in order to get a race.
The driving technique is what really sets this game apart, though, as you finely balance the benefits of a quickly taken full grip corner with a rash sideways drift. Controls are fully customisable, though for us the default left/right buttons worked much better than the tricky onscreen steering wheel.
Tracks are rendered beautifully, with roadside cones and fences sent flying as you let the back end kick out (perhaps a little too much) on the corners. The cars' handling is varied too, changing dramatically as you make the transition from sand to tarmac, for example.
The dynamic difficulty setting gives just the right amount of fight in the on-track opponents. If you're constantly surprised by corners, driver assists such as racing line, pace notes and mini-map help you see what's coming.
Arcade mode's 40 races put you in a variety of different cars and tracks, while online multiplayer is also on hand.
In each race you start at the back, jostling for position and vying for the inside line to scrape the paint off the opponents' doors and hopefully steal a place or two as well.
The tracks aren't long, and each race is no more than a minute or two at most. Reckless Racing 2 offers quick-fire, high octane thrills that keep you coming back for just one more race.

By Alan Levin, USA TODAY
U.S. and Italian accident investigators teamed up on Monday to probe a crash landing in Rome that happened after a jet struck a flock of birds, in an incident that had similarities to last month's "Miracle on the Hudson" in New York.
Italian investigators had been looking at the crash landing at Rome's Ciampino Airport, which happened Nov. 10. National Transportation Safety Board officials familiar with the splashdown of a US Airways jet on Jan. 15 began looking at the Rome incident this week, NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said. The two jets had the same engines.
A flock of large birds destroyed both engines on US Airways Flight 1549 shortly after takeoff, forcing the pilots to ditch in the Hudson River. All 155 people aboard escaped. The case is prompting an NTSB review of the risks birds pose to aviation.
In Rome, the Ryanair Boeing 737-800 struck a massive flock of starlings as it approached the airport for landing, reducing thrust in both engines, according to the airline and the ANSV, the Italian accident investigation agency. The six crewmembers and 166 passengers escaped.
The Ryanair jet's engines are CFM-56s, the same model as those on the US Airways jet, the Italian investigation agency said. Determining whether there were any common factors in the two cases is of "essential importance," an agency release said.
A dual loss of engine power has to be carefully investigated, said John Purvis, former chief investigator for Boeing.
Though it has not received much attention, the event in Italy caused a stir among the small group of aviation safety experts who study bird risks, said Paul Eschenfelder, an airline pilot and bird expert.

South Carolina Gamecocks vs. South Carolina Upstate Spartans Recap
May 12, 2015
The South Carolina Gamecocks played the South Carolina Upstate Spartans on Tuesday. The Gamecocks, who had been struggling at the plate, produced an offensive explosion against the Spartans. South Carolina began the scoring in the third inning, with four runs, the big blow being a two-run double off the bat of Hunter Taylor. They would add five more in the fourth, thanks in part to a three-run home run from Alex Destino. Canaan Cooper started on the mound for the Gamecocks, and including the bullpen, combined for nine strikeouts while allowing just five hits. South Carolina was also sharp defensively, playing an overall solid game in late season action.

Here we are again... Embarking on a quest of thought and imagination. We can go as a far V12 or as close as your house, but this question is one that keeps you at home. I shall prompt you with a scenario and then you shall go from there. With out further a do:
The time is the present, the hour is now, a mass outbreak has occurred turning everyone into zombies. You and your (girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, partner, prostitute, concubine, sex slave, whatever 1) are the last of the survivors. You have taken up safety in a small shack, your (1) leaves to sit out side. You hear a scuffle out side and open the door and see a zombies surrounding (1) you know its too late. You unload 15 shells of a SPAS-12 into the flesh whores, blowing them to hell. You see your (1) lying on the ground badly injured, (1) is starting to turn into a zombie, (1) is still retaining all human features, but you know what is happening, so you hold your SPAS-12 to (1) head. (1) looks at you and you see a tear in (1) eye. It is too late and there is nothing you can do so you: (A) Aim for the head and blow chunks all over the ground? (B) Run away, so you don't have to kill (1)? (C) Cannot take the pain of loosing (1) and let (1) bite you?
This is a rather sad question but one that you must answer nerveless!

Hit by nostalgia today, we're going to start this post by pondering the (not too long ago) days when five megapixels in a camera phone was pretty darn exciting.
Today it's a standard fixture in most mid-range handsets, like Samsung's new Lucido candybar phone, a slim-line fashion phone which also packs a music player, camera features including autofocus, LED flash, Smile Shot and Face Recognition, A-GPS, and HSDPA support up to 7.2Mbps, which, depending on your carrier's 3G coverage, should make for comfortable media streaming and downloads.
Its 2.2-inch ultra-bright AMOLED screen displays in full colour even in direct sunlight and sits pretty in an 11.8mm thin body. Internal memory is a little stingy at 110MB, and the phone doesn't come with a microSD card (though it does have the slot, expandable by up to 16GB)
Yep, it's another mid-range good looker from Samsung, who've nailed the form by now. Launches in early April on all major networks and carriers.

Everyone's noticed gas prices skyrocketing in recent years. It doesn't help that most classic Mustangs are fuel hogs. So, make sure you're not wasting a drop of gas by keeping your fuel tank is in top shape.
Back in 1969 & 1970, rear window louvers were popular options for Mustangs. Today, they're even more popular, so many owners, including CJ's, are adding them to Mustangs that weren't equipped.
We're guessing that many of you have a selection of cleaning and detailing supplies stored away somewhere in your house, and you don't mind giving up a few hours to fully clean and detail your Mustang. But, after that, do you just let it sit and collect dirt and dust?
Did you know that, in the late 60s, Ford offered four different gas caps for the Mustang? One of the most popular was a Pop Open Gas Cap, which we're installing on our new Mustang project car.
Classic Mustang owners missed out on many of the conveniences that modern Mustang owners now take for granted. However, Scott Drake tries to help classic Mustangs with a remote trunk release kit!
Have you ever listened to the original radio and speaker in a classic Mustang? It's only AM radio with a weak speaker. A Retro Sound radio, plus a new speaker, adds modern sound with a classic look!

Canada Law
Ask a Canada Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello, thank you for coming to the site. I'm a Canadian lawyer, and your question is in the Canada Law category. I see that you're not on a subscription, so you put down a deposit to the site to start your account and open this thread.
It works like this: we chat here about your legal issue (try not to identify yourself personally, or anyone else the question involves) until you have your answers.
Now, you have to keep in mind that this site is no replacement for a face-to-face meeting with a lawyer whom you have retained. But this site is cheaper and faster than going to a lawyer, and the experts here can give you legal information and recommendations and options.
When we're done chatting, the site and I will ask you to "rate the service" positively so that your deposit is spent, split between the site and the expert. The site runs on the "honour system", you don't have to rate and you can ask for your money back, but most people give a positive rating and agree to pay.
Having said all that, what brings you here? You have a legal issue?
OK, are you in Canada?
I'm not a site employee. You should send a note to customer service from your account to verify what you've put down.
However, your question thread his here and open, so I assume that your deposit cleared.
If you want to continue, tell me what the legal issue is. I don't do real estate, so I'll probably opt out as your expert to see if another here will take up the question. But I'm happy to get your started.
There isn't a specific "canada law - real estate" category. You're in Canada Law.
Feel free to type out some details about what's going on, and what your question is. Don't write a novel.
OK, that's a good question.
As I said, I don't do real estate, so I'm going to "opt out" as your expert.
Other experts here will look at the question, and if any think they can help they'll reply here.
Be patient, please. Some experts check in here and there, some are here full time. We all hope you'll be answered quickly, but it might take a bit of time.
Please don't reply to me or your question will go off of the "open question" list and back onto my own "questions waiting for a reply" list.
Good luck
Have you told the buyer that the deal cannot close or did you say there needs to be a delay?
How much is the lien for?
Who said it will take a few months to get the lien off?
You anticipated all of my thoughts. I was thinking to pay off the lien and then fight the CRA afterwards.
Do you agree that agree that you owe them at least the $150K? Or is that not correct either?
I was thinking you could pay the CRA off and then sell the house and then sue the CRA if necessary.
Because unfortunately you sold the house to the buyer and there is no doubt that the buyer can sue you successfully for damages.
They did not have to do a lien search ahead of time.
You promised then a clear title and cannot deliver.
So you are in a difficult situation where the CRA is going to end up hurting you further.
At the end of the day you may be able to sue then successfully if it turns out they were totally wrong about the amount owing (which is clearly the case) but regardless of all that you are liable to the buyer for damages.
I wish I had a more optimistic answer but as your own lawyer must have told you there really isn't one.
Please feel free to post back with any follow-up questions you may have. If you don't have any then I hope I have earned a 5 star rating but if you don't feel that I have please don't hesitate to reply back and let me know what more I can do to assist you. Finally, please know that even after you rate me I will be here for you and you can ask follow-up questions if you think of them later on at no further charge of course.
There is such thing as frustration of the contract but that would not apply here. You would be said to be at fault. You never checked the title before deciding to list the property and for if the CRA is wrong then you are still liable to the buyer but then the CRA is liable to you.
They lawyers could not close because title could not be transferred.
Is there anything more I can help you with at this point in time?

Morning all. What a whirlwind weekend!
Dad ended up in the ER again on Saturday night. He was released from the hospital on Friday evening with instructions to resume normal activities, so of course, that's what he did. He was scheduled to take an Emergency Medical Services class called "Harm on the Farm" which focused on farm related accidents. VERY important for his EMS work. Anyhow, he went and I guess it wasn't anything too strenuous. Sit at a table, get instruction, practice some practical and take a test. That night, his right leg was so swollen, it was hot to the touch and red, and he said his foot felt cold (but to the touch it was warm). So, stepmom took him back up to the ER, where they got conflicting instructions from what the original doctor told him. The second ER doc told him that it would easily be a year before the clot dissolves and the risk dissipates. He was told not to sit too long and not to stand too long... so he's like, ok, what about work? He works in maintenance, so he could be standing for a good part of the day or he could be sitting working on a machine in the plant. Sure, he can take some time off work, but not an entire year. The doctor didn't have advice for this question.
Then of course, my stepmom is terrified! She's not sleeping well, she's not eating well, she's sick to her stomach. She's a ball of nerves. She doesn't want to leave his side b/c what if he develops trouble breathing? How will he get help? (I joked and told her he needs Life Alert, but in all seriousness, I don't think it'd be a bad idea).
The biggest problem is that, like me, Dad is an EMT so he knows quite a bit about all things medical. He knows the severity of the problem he's facing, but at the same time, he knows too much b/c that results in him delaying seeking medical attention. He'll wait until it's absolutely necessary to seek medical attention before doing so. So, if he develops a tiny bit of breathing difficulty, he'll likely wait so as not to over-react, ya know? Same as me.
He's been given specific instructions by Stepmom that if he so much as takes any extra breath in the next minute, he's to call 911 b/c she'd rather pay for 100 unnecessary ambulance rides and ER visits than pay for another casket.
Everyone expected them to hold him til the clot started to dissolve and shrink, but no one realized that it could take a year for this clot to dissolve. So everyone is up in arms b/c the hospital isn't doing more... I've been down this road before (a year ago one of our family friends discovered he had a clot from his knee to his groin and he's still waiting for it to fully dissolve) so I knew it was going to be a long term concern. Stepmom is scared to death that she's going to wake up to find Dad dead or come home and find the clot has broken off and he wasn't able to call for help. I can't say that I blame her. I'm scared too. But I also know that Dad's smart enough to call for an ambulance. He's got friends on the fire department who would be there to help him in a quick minute if he needed to call 911 (that's the joys of having a very small town with a very large department).
The other concern is that they live in a mess... as in almost hoarderish. There would not be room for a gurney to get through the house to transport him out to the ambulance. And my dad's a bigger guy, probably pushing 300 lbs, so carrying him out is probably not an option for the most part. Luckily, the front door is close to the living room, in case it were to be needed.
He's supposed to go see his physician today for follow up and to get more relavent instructions regarding his activity level, what he can/should be doing, and about work. I'm anxious to see what his doctor has to say about this.
In the meantime, he's on lovenox to reduce his clotting factors and Coumadin to thin his blood, for probably the next year. It just seems so surreal! Like, is this really happening? Am I really at a great risk of losing my dad? I don't even want to think about that!
Sounds like a whole lot of stress for everyone. I'm sorry. I understand that fear of not knowing, from when my dad had a heart attack a couple of years ago. I didn't even know it was a heart attack at first because no one used that phrase. It was scary.
Would they accept help in cleaning up, even if is just as a precaution for easy access. Maybe you can help them find someone to hire, if not help clean up. My mom is really bad at getting rid of things on her own, but she does really well when I'm around and helping her sort. Actually, my dad is the same way, but with books & car things instead of clothes & paperwork.Depression Lies
Jenn, sending positive thoughts your way. It's so hard when our parents have serious health issues. When my mom fell & broke her hip the first of the year I was afraid to go off & leave her...even at the hospital. She's 76. At least your dad is still young & has some medical background...& friends close by that will be there to help quickly.
Keep us informed as to his progress. How are you holding up?Goal: Don't worry be happy!
The problem is that they don't do a very good job of picking up after themselves, so things just end up stacked all over the place. They have a very large house but you'd never know it b/c there's so much stuff in it. She used to have a compulsive shopping problem. She'd buy stuff just b/c it was on clearance and then never use it. It would sit in the shopping bag on the floor for weeks, sometimes months, before she'd touch it again. That has finally come to an end. I think they ran into money trouble when she had her gall bladder removed so she doesn't shop much anymore.
Dad never picks up after himself. If he's done with a coke, the bottle/can sits on the table next to the couch until it falls off, where it stays on the floor until stepmom picks it up. She tries - really tries to get the house in order. She has marathon cleaning sessions where she'll clean the kitchen and have it looking really nice, but a week later it's trashed again. It's the same issue we have at our house. Things start to accumulate on the counters until it gets out of control and you just get overwhelmed by it so you do nothing b/c you don't know where to start. I know her pain with the house.
I do want to help her with her house, but it's hard to say "I'm going over to Dad's to clean" when I can't even keep control of my own house...
Speaking of which, I did some work at home yesterday. Brad got the kids to pick up their toys in the living room, and then I vacuumed really quick before the carpet got covered again. By then, I was in the mood, so I put the kids' toys away in the dining room (we don't have a proper toy room, so there are 4 tubs of toys and a toy shelf in our dining room along the wall). I then swept and dust mopped (OMG the amount of pet hair that accumulates in such a short time!) and after the kids went to bed, I mopped. Then I went through my FlyLady daily routine of getting things ready for the morning, doing dishes, straightening the kitchen, etc. Brad spent this whole time folding all the laundry. He put his stuff away. After he went to bed, I hung the kids' shirts/dresses and paired their socks and mine. I put my clothes away and will put the kids' away tonight (I didn't want to be messing around in their rooms while they were sleeping). I sat down when I was done and just looked around. I realized just how big our house is when things are put away, and discovered I still like our house. For a while there, I thought I hated our house, but what I really hate is the mess. I'm hoping FlyLady and I will stay in contact with each other (she tries, I'm the flake) so the house will stay this nice feeling.
Paula, how do you feel about a FlyLady Whole30? I loved your idea and I think we should do it. In 4 weeks we could cycle through all four zones and have a happy home again. What do you say?
Wow - crazy and scary weekend for you and your family Remember they said it "could" take up to a year - not that it "will".
Some family intervention to get the house in order might be necessary right now. Are they open to allowing a clean up weekend?1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.
2. Eat to heal
3. Move to live
4. Embrace today
5. Live with intention
6. Respect my body
7. Cultivate joy

9. Meditate on peace in my soul
I love the fly lady! I have her books...somewhere! Several years ago I tried her system... Never could get it right. I'll have to check her out again & see what's new with her. My house is so tiny I only have one zone! lolGoal: Don't worry be happy!
I'm game for the Flylady Whole30. I still need to find a system that works for the mail counter and "action item" corner (a corner of the coffee table reserved for stuff that needs to leave the house to go somewhere else, like outbound mail and stuff for his family. )Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
I have to work on that too, Naiad. My recent approach to mail is to pick it up once a week, sort out the week's junk mail before I leave the post office, and then burn the rest. I pay most of our bills online and only need a couple of statements in paper form (like our cable and municiple bill - neither are high tech enough to accept plastic). I get a lot of insurance statements of benefits paid, but I usually just pitch those too. I know soon enough how much insurance paid when the hospital bills arrive... I have a box in my garage that is serving as the "burn box". I fill it up with mail that should by all rights be shredded, then I take it to my mom's to be burned on burn day. So much easier than shredding it all. And they burn their mail too, so I know he's careful to make sure it all gets destroyed. The other option I've heard of people doing is to gather their mail daily, sort it and bring their shredables to work - and shred them there. It's only like 3-4 pieces each day, so no one notices, really. But I've never been good about that habit.
So for a FlyLady Whole30 - so far there's me and Naiad... anyone else?
As far as a clean out weekend at my dad's? While it's a good idea, I don't know that stepmom would be all that thrilled with it. Not because people would be going through their stuff or b/c she's a control freak or anything like that... but because she doesn't want to waste anyone else's time. She knows it'll never STAY cleaned out so she'd tell us all to find something else to do. But to add to her cleaning stress, they've got Grandma's house now (Dad and I come by our untidy house genes naturally). She's been working on getting it cleared out too (grandma's is easier - you don't know what's in there, so if you just pitch it all, you're not missing anything). There's a big pile of stuff to go to Goodwill, and they've already had a garage sale. But still lots of stuff. The upstairs is cleared out though, and that was the biggest mess as no one used the upstairs when she was alive so it was the perfect place for storing crap you didn't really need but didn't want to throw away just yet.
I think my problem is ADD related. I'll be unloading the dishwasher, placing dishes on the counter (I stack the dishes for one cabinet and then carry them all over at once), then get distracted and it sits there for a while before I get back to it, and sometimes I forget. Like the tupperware like dishes - I've discovered at times that they'll sit on the counter for a day or two if I get distracted before they get put away. Which is why FlyLady is nice - if I get distracted I can just look at my list and see where I was so I can get back to it.
Her website has changed and I'm not sure I like it that much... I have to do some more exploring. FlyLady.net
After a week of following my evening routine, I think I might venture into zones this week - starting with the kitchen. I'm a much happier person if my kitchen is clean and decluttered. Usually it's clean, but not decluttered. Decluttered will be a nice feeling.Last edited by jenn26point2; 09-16-2013, 08:46 AM.
Wow it has changed!! It's been about 6 years since I tried the fly lady way. I will have to say that one thing has stuck with me all these years...I don't like to leave any dishes in the sink or on the cabinet...I like to get up to a clean kitchen. Baby boy sometimes will leave a glass or silverware in the sink, he works nights & comes in in the wee hours...but I don't mind that. Will do some more reading at the site a bit later.
So I'll join you in trying a whole30flylady. If nothing else maybe it will help me keep things a bit tidier. Should we start a group? Like we did the stress one last year? Or a separate journal? Or just post in our own...whatever ya'll want to do.
Sounds like fun!Goal: Don't worry be happy!
I just don't have enough stuff to make a big mess or leave things out. There's definitely a plus side to only have 4 larger plates, 4 smaller plates, and 4 small bowls for dishes. Sometimes I think I'd like more, but we don't entertain often enough to warrant it. We also just don't have a lot of space for stuff to hang around so it gets picked up quickly. Having fewer tupperware that I want to use makes me clean it because it needs to be ready for me in advance.
As for mail, we don't get much. Junk goes straight to the recycling bin or trash. Bills go to our respective computer desks. My grandma has a wood stove, maybe I'll bring my fold of stuff to shred and burn them next time we visit.Depression Lies
Oh there's an idea, Nameless! I hadn't thought of my dad's central boiler! Brad's grandma has one too. Shredables would make great kindling to start fires and a great way to completely destroy them (central boilers burn every last bit - everything turns to ash). I hadn't even thought of their boilers... geesh. Thanks for the reminder.
I'm working on my cleaning lists and routines now. The ones I have work, but the tasks are kind of out of order so I bounce around a lot, which requires me to read the list too much. If I had things in order of when they should be done (like unload the dishwasher before load the dishwasher on the list), I wouldn't have to read it so much. I could just jump to the next task.
So, revamping those to be more functional, if you will. I WILL get this house under control. Come hell or high water, I will.
I'll do Flylady w30. When do we start?
Also, I'm not sure if you remember, Jenn, but I had bilateral pulmonary emboli due to DVTs in my right leg in Oct. of 2010. Once I survived the initial danger on heparin. I was switched to coumadin, which I am on for life. In the hospital, they found another clot right behind my knee. They made me stay absolutely still for 48 hours, but the danger of break off lessens significantly after a few days on heparin. From what I understand your father should be safe from forming other clots while on coumadin. The clots in my lungs took at least 6 months to re absorb enough that my breathing was no longer affected. Sometimes the body will just repair over them, so they may never be completely reabsorbed.
I always make sure to move around once every hour or so. Walking, stretching, rotating ankles are all good things to do for anyone who stays in one position for a long time.Last edited by Pebbles67; 09-16-2013, 10:25 AM.Primal since 9/24/2010"Our greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within."

After meeting with his doctor today he is 100% certain the reason for the clot is b/c he was wearing an immobilizer on his right leg for about a week. He has knee troubles and one day his knees were hurting him so badly, he went to the ER. They put him in an immobilizer to help stabilize his knee until he could see the ortho doc during the week. It wasn't very long before he was able to see his ortho, got his MRI, got his cortisone shots and was told he could stop wearing the immobilizer. He stopped wearing it about a week and a half ago, right before Labor Day is when he stopped. They measured his leg today and the spot where his clot is directly corresponds to where the immobilizer sat on his leg. He's infuriated about it. If they had just given him the cortisone shot at the ER like he asked (he was treated by the ortho on call that day), then none of this would have happened.
There's a study going on at the University of Iowa Hospital (only the BEST hospital in the state of Iowa and a whopping 30 minutes from our houses - I had my kids there) to tackle blood clots like this. The have started using a new approach to resolve the clots more quickly. He's going to call to see if he would be a good candidate or not. Stepmom thinks they go in and remove them laproscopically. I might see if I can research it and see what it's all about. Dad seems pretty much decided that if he's a candidate, he's going to do it.

By JOYCE CAROL OATES; Joyce Carol Oates, a novelist, poet and critic, is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University.
Published: May 1, 1988
I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one . . . but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! - Think of our life in nature, - daily to be shown matter, to come into contact with it, - rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! the solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? where are we? - Thoreau, ''Ktaadn and the Maine Woods,'' 1848.
Of our classic American writers Henry David Thoreau is the supreme poet of doubleness, of evasion and mystery. Who is he? Where does he stand? Is he to be defined even by his own words, deliberately and fastidiously chosen as they are, and famously much revised? The facts of his life, available in any Thoreau chronology, seem more detached from the man himself than such facts commonly do. Thoreau warns us that the outward aspect of his life may be ''no more I than it is you.'' He boasts of having the capacity to stand as remote from himself as from another. He is both actor and spectator. He views himself as a participant in Time as if he were a kind of fiction - ''a work of the imagination only.'' We know with certainty of the historical man, born July 12, 1817, in Concord, Mass., deceased May 6, 1862, in Concord, Mass.; what lies between is a mystery.
Perhaps for these reasons and because of the redoubtable tone of Thoreau's voice, he is the most controversial of American writers. Whether he writes with oneiric precision of thawing earth, or a ferocious war between red and black ants, or the primeval beauty of Mount Katahdin in Maine, or in angry defense of the martyred John Brown (''I do not wish to kill or be killed but I can foresee circumstances in which both of these things would be by me unavoidable''), he asserts himself with such force that the reader is compelled to react: what compromise is possible? Where his fellow Transcendentalists, particularly Emerson, spoke of self-reliance as a virtue, Thoreau actively practiced it, and gloried in it: ''Sometimes, when I compare myself with other men, it seems as if I were more favored by the gods than they.'' Where most writers secretly feel superior to their contemporaries, Thoreau is blunt, provoking: ''The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad.'' Yet his own position is frequently ambiguous and even what he meant by Nature is something of a puzzle. Who is the omniscient ''I'' of ''Walden''?
So intimately bound up with my imaginative life is the Henry David Thoreau of ''Walden,'' first read when I was 15, that it is difficult for me to speak of him with a pretense of objectivity. Any number of his pithy remarks have sunk so deep in my consciousness as to have assumed a sort of autonomy: ''As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. Be it life or death we crave only reality. God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapses of all the ages. Why so seeming fast, but deadly slow?'' So close to my heart is ''Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes,'' I might delude myself it is my invention. Eventually I would read other works of Thoreau's and even teach ''Walden'' numberless times (in startling but always fruitful juxtaposition with, among other texts, Freud's ''Civilization and Its Discontents,'' Nietzsche's ''Thus Spake Zarathustra,'' ''The Jungle,'' by Upton Sinclair, Lewis Carroll's ''Alice'' books and ''The Hunting of the Snark''), but it is the ''Walden'' of my adolescence I remember most vividly - suffused with the powerfully intense, romantic energies of youth, the sense that life is boundless, experimental, provisionary, ever-fluid and unpredictable, the conviction that, whatever the accident of the outer self, the truest self is inward, secret, inviolable.
''I love to be alone,'' says Thoreau. ''I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.'' The celebrant of earthly, and of earthy, mysteries, Thoreau is also a celebrant of the human spirit in contradistinction to what might be called the social being - the public identities with which we are specified at birth and which through our lifetimes we labor to assert in a context of other social beings similarly hypnotized by the mystery of their own identities. But ''self'' to Thoreau appears to be but the lens through which the world is perceived and as the world shifts on its axis, as season yields to season, place to place, one enigmatic form of matter to another, the prismatic lens itself shifts. ''Daily to be shown matter'' - what does it mean? If there is a self it must be this very shifting of perspective, this ceaseless transformation and metamorphosis. If in 1854, the very year ''Walden'' was published, Thoreau could note in his journal, ''We soon get through with Nature. She excites an expectation which she cannot satisfy,'' the testament of ''Walden'' is otherwise. What more radical perspective: ''Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself?''

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Like a schizophrenic got a DUI, lost hes license and is ordered to attend AA. But the schizophrenic cant take the bus because he doesn't want to be in danger or harm someone.
Not taking the bus due to psychiatric illness does not eliminate all means of complying with the court order.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advice" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.Ask a similar question
It is unclear why the person would be completely unable to attend AA. Is it possible for someone to drive him? Is there AA within walking or biking distance? These are some of the first questions that will have to be addressed. To seek relief from a court order usually you must exhaust every possible remedy first.
These statements do not constitute legal advice. They are meant to be general in nature, for any specific legal questions you should always seek the counsel of an experienced attorney.Ask a similar question
First, the judge will likely want to know whether the client/defendant is taking his prescribed medications so that client will not feel in danger just riding the bus or be a likely threat to others. I wouldn't be surprised if there's also a condition of probation to continue and maintain any mental health treatment-- is client/defendant doing that? And how is client getting to those meetings? The judge will realize there are other ways to get places other than by bus, for example friends, family, bike riding (you are in Santa Barbara after all), taxi cabs--- in fact all that gas money that is being saved since client can't drive anymore-- can pay for a few cab rides....perhaps one solution is to offer something other than AA--- in many communities there a "Dual Diagnosis" programs that offer mental health and alcohol treatment together --- since self medicating with alcohol is not unusual for folks with mental health issues. That program could be more effective than AA and it may be more convenient to get to... maybe.Ask a similar question

An Amazon employee sent out an email to "hundreds" of his co-workers and even Amazon top dog CEO Jeff Bezos. Then he went to the roof of the building and jumped in what appears to be an attempted suicide.
A spokesperson for the Seattle Fire Department told SeattlePI that a man did jump from the "rooftop at an Amazon building at Ninth Avenue North and Thomas Street."
Although the man leaped off the 12-story Apollo building, Seattle Fire said he jumped from the pedestal section – about four stories up – and "fell only about 20 feet to a balcony below."
After being taken to Harborview Medical Center, the man's injuries were described as "non-life-threatening."
Some people get depressed around the holidays, but Bloomberg's report noted that the man had requested a transfer to a different department. He was instead "placed on an employee improvement plan, a step that can lead to termination if performance isn't improved."
The man's email was critical of Amazon; he criticized how Amazon handled his transfer request and even "hinted that he might harm himself."
Amazon released the following statement: "Our thoughts are with our colleague as he continues to recover. He's receiving some of the best care possible, and we will be there to support him throughout the recovery process."
In August 2015, The New York Times called Amazon a "bruising workplace" and described the dog-eat-dog world of working for the online retailer. Bezos denied that Amazon was a "soulless, dystopian workplace where no fun is had and no laughter heard."
Bezos claimed The Times article didn't "describe the Amazon I know or the caring Amazonians I work with every day." He encouraged employees to report any workplace abuse to HR or to email him directly.
"I strongly believe that anyone working in a company that really is like the one described in the NYT would be crazy to stay. I know I would leave such a company," Bezos said.
Yet the fallout was dramatic as worker after worker came forward to share their experiences of working at Amazon. Some made it sound like working at the company was like working for the devil in hell. Jay Carney, Amazon's senior vice president for global affairs, also disputed The Times report.
Amazon did make some changes, such as offering 20 weeks of paid leave for new moms, offering six weeks leave for new parents, changing its employee review process and recently rolling out a 30-hour workweek pilot program.
When announcing the pilot program during an online recruitment seminar, Amazon claimed, "These part-time employees will still receive the same benefits as those employees scheduled for 40 hours per week. While the part-time employees' projects will be carefully managed to align with schedules, they will share the same objective of all of our teams: to build great things on behalf of our customers."
Although it remains to be seen what the man's email said, it seems that despite the company's changes, at least one Amazon worker might still believe they aren't enough.

Marie Wu Designs, New York, NY
These fine orbs of tourmalated quartz are just stunning to behold. At a showy size of 14mm, full of luster, chock full of black tourmaline needles suspended in crystal quartz. One of Mother Nature's finest handiwork.
The photos don't do justice to these beauties but in person the crystal quartz are remarkably more clear whereas the photos appear to be a bit cloudy.
These lovelies need no embellishments to detract from their natural beauty but dangle beneath marquise earwires of sterling silver with such contemporary flair at an overall length of 1&7/8"

Thomond eruptions to make iceland look like a penny candle
Leo Cullen hurdled the barriers separating him from the Leinster Academy youngsters. They were mad about him and delighted he made so much of them.
Daddy Bear wasn't going back on the pitch without his cubs. After a few minutes the security staff relented. It wouldn't have made for much of a Heineken Cup presentation without the winning captain.
This was one pass Mike Ross wasn't going to drop. His gorgeous wife Kimberlee handed baby Kevin to his dad. Their son was dressed from head to toe in blue. I'd swear his bonnet was a scrum cap. Mike, the ferocious man wrestler, gave his little boy the tenderest of kisses.
Jonathan Sexton handed us his Man of the Match award. He couldn't get rid of it quick enough. Leinster is a team you see. "You're going to lose that in some pub in Cardiff," he said. Then he took the vase back and handed it to a 'maor.'
At full-time, ashen-faced Northampton were forsaken cadavers witnessing a resurrection. Brian O'Driscoll went to every man. Sorry for your troubles, and there but for the grace of God go we.
And I came to the conclusion, Leinster were just like us.
The 24-hour clock is the greatest threat to time-keeping since the opening of Copperface Jack's. Ryanair should put the words 'in the morning' after the 07:30. A plane was missed, again. My mammy read 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' when we came home. No one believes us anymore. The path from the Pet's Corner to the doghouse is well worn.
The extra-time in Cardiff was spent in anthropological research.
There are now as many country people as city slickers supporting Leinster. And most of the Munster fans I met were hoping Leinster would win.
Magners couldn't have asked for a better finale. Their league has now surpassed the English Premiership in terms of quality. The winners of three of the last four Heineken Cup competitions will go at each other from the off.
Leinster can be beaten, but Munster will have to up their game considerably.
The Leinster carriers do most damage. Sean O'Brien, Carlow's first European Player of the Year, and Jamie Heaslip from nearby Naas tormented the Saints. Richardt Strauss waltzed through Northampton. Cian Healy is another fiercely determined gain-line breaker. On current form, Leinster are worthy favourites.
Then again, Munster have defied logic for years. There are more plusses. We are playing at home. Our fans outnumber Leinster by two to one, but then there's the pressure factor, which can be either good or bad.
If Munster lose this one, the summer will be spent head in chest like a forlorn swan. Munster have it in them for sure. In this place, no team is unbeatable, but this is a huge task.
Sometimes after games, in the elation of victory, players say more than they ever would in the build-up. Several Leinster players use the expression 'we outworked them.'
Leinster will not panic. They take the blows and then move in for the KO when the opposition are exhausted in rugby's version of rope-a-dope.
Munster must see Leinster as one of those all-conquering, unsinkable touring teams.
The first five minutes will be wild, but controlled, but so must the next 75. That's how the All Blacks were beaten. Munster will keep it up.
The body manufactures its own drugs on days like this. Adrenalin makes a flood plain of the brain.
Then there's the big picture directed by Declan Kidney.
We need all our players for the World Cup. The last thing we need is suspensions or injuries, but Munster will have to be more aggressive than of late.
You beat a team not by targeting their weaknesses, but their strengths. Both sides have scored the type of spectacular French-style tries we thought we would never live to see in Irish rugby. But in the end it will come down to that new word 'outwork.'
Leinster have no idea of the madness that awaits them, both in the stands and on the field of play. This may seem strange, seeing as the teams know each other better than many married couples. I have been in Thomond on days like this when passion plays take place, but today will rank with any. And that's as it should be.
There are fans who hate the opposition. We are too closely tied by blood and friendship in this little country of ours, to turn this thing into a tribal generational hate like say Liverpool and Man United.
We must not allow that alien tradition to rule us. Some of the stuff on the internet, from both sides, is beyond juvenile and borders on racism. Truly the web is the last refuge of scoundrels. When this is over, we must go back to being Irish.
Last weekend we witnessed the Leinster fans and players celebrate as winners should. There was no arrogance or superiority, because it just wasn't there. So let's win this one not because we hate anyone, but because we love Munster or love Leinster.
However, this is an All-Ireland final. We all know that. There will be no love-in.
Iceland is but a penny candle compared to Thomond on eruption day.

LOS ANGELES – Twenty-eight years after its Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded, Ukraine confronts a nuclear specter of a different kind: the possibility that the country's reactors could become military targets in the event of a Russian invasion. Speaking at the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague in March, Andrii Deshchytsia, Ukraine's acting foreign minister, cited the "potential threat to many nuclear facilities" should events deteriorate into open warfare.
Earlier in the month, Ihor Prokopchuk, Ukraine's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, circulated a letter to the organization's board of governors warning that an invasion could bring a "threat of radiation contamination on the territory of Ukraine and the territory of neighboring states." In Kyiv, Ukraine's parliament responded by calling for international monitors to help protect the plants as the cash-strapped government attempts to boost its own efforts.
Are Ukraine's concerns mere hyperbole – a "malicious slander," as the Kremlin puts it – or should we take them seriously? For Ukraine's government, the angst is real. Even Ukrainians born after 1986 understand what a Chernobyl-type disaster brought about by battle could look like.
History offers little guidance as to whether warring countries would avoid damaging nuclear sites. With the exception of the 1990's Balkan conflict, wars have not been fought against or within countries with nuclear reactors. In the case of the Balkans, Serbian military jets overflew Slovenia's Krško nuclear power plant in a threatening gesture early in the conflict, while radical Serbian nationalists called for attacks to release the radioactive contents.

George Kirby Gay (August 15, 1810 – October 7, 1882) was an English sailor and later settler in the Oregon Country. He was a member of the Willamette Cattle Company that brought livestock to Oregon and built the first brick house in the United States west of the Rocky Mountains. Gay also participated in the Champoeg Meetings that created a provisional government in what would become the U.S. state of Oregon.
Early years[edit]
George Gay was born in Gloucestershire, England, on August 15, 1810.[1][2] He became an apprentice sailor at the age of eleven and traveled much of the world and came to the United States.[3][4] As a sailor, his last trip was aboard the whaleship Kitty, which he left at Monterey, California, in 1833 where he joined up with fur trapper Ewing Young.[1][4] Gay went with Young to trap fur bearing animals to the north.[4]
In 1835, George Gay returned to the Oregon Country with a party led by John Turner and included William J. Bailey.[3][4] Two years later he joined Young again and invested in the Willamette Cattle Company.[5] Gay and the others traveled to California by boat to purchase cattle and then overland back to the Willamette Valley.[6] During the trip back, on September 14 they crossed the Shasta River and soon after William J. Bailey and Gay shot a "friendly" native boy in what was considered revenge for attacks on previous trips through the area.[7] The group finished the journey in October 1837 with around 630 head of cattle.[6] Gay became wealthy due to his investment in the enterprise.[4]
Gay then claimed some land along the Willamette River near Wheatland, Oregon, and started farming.[3] In 1841, he began building a home at the site, and when completed in 1842 it was the first brick house in the region.[3] The bricks were fired on the property and used to build the walls and two fireplaces on the 14-foot (4.3 m) high structure.[3] Gay's home was 22 feet (6.7 m) wide by 32 feet (9.8 m) long.[3] In 1843, he was selected to serve on a committee at the First Wolf Meeting, part of the series of Champoeg Meetings held to discuss forming a government in the Oregon Country.[3]
On May 2, 1843, Gay voted with the prevailing party at the last of the Champoeg Meetings.[8] The 52-50 vote established the Provisional Government of Oregon that would last until the Oregon Territory's government superseded it in 1849. Gay's home would serve as one of the markers of the boundaries within the government.[3] The south wall of his house marked the boundary line between the Yamhill and Champooick districts, and though the house is no longer standing, the location of that wall currently marks the line between Yamhill and Polk counties.[3] In 1848, he went south to the California Gold Rush and mined for a time before returning to Oregon.[3]
Later years[edit]
Upon returning to Oregon, Gay was considered one of the wealthiest people in what had become the Oregon Territory.[3] He was married on four different occasions and fathered nine children. The children, Mary Ann, Joseph Witcum, John Kirby, Alfred, Paul George, William Edouard, Adaline Bellay, Louisa and Henri St. Clair were all the children of first wife, Louisa Gay.[3] He married Louisa Hare, Mary Manson, Mary Condon and Mary Ann Rubidow.[9] Rubidow was born Marie Anne Toupin in 1826, and married Gay on February 11, 1867.[10] George Kirby Gay lost his fortune and died poor on October 7, 1882, at the age of 72 and was buried on his property near Wheatland, Oregon.[11] A granite and bronze marker placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution on the Yamhill-Polk County line on Oregon Route 221 commemorates the location of Gay's home and gravesite and his involvement in the Champoeg Meetings.[2]

Pope prays for Turkish miners, and migrants lost at sea14 May 2014 | by Abigail Frymann Rouch
Pope Francis has again expressed his anguish at the deaths of migrants who have perished trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe.
On Monday at least 17 people died when a boat carrying around 400 migrants sank 115 miles south of the Italian island of Lampedusa, which Pope Francis visited last year to draw attention to the crisis.
On Sunday it emerged that at least 36 people drowned last week when a boat sank near the Libyan coast.
After today's general audience Francis said: "Let us also pray for those who in have lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea in these days. May human rights be the first priority and may forces unite to prevent this shameful carnage."
EU home affairs Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said on Monday she was shocked by the latest migrant deaths and urged member states to "show solidarity" in dealing with the crisis.
Pope Francis today also mentioned the 238 victims of the explosion in the mine in Soma, western Turkey, and the other hundreds of other miners who remain trapped underground.
"Dear brothers," he said, "I invite you to pray for the miners who died yesterday in the mine of Soma, in Turkey, and for those who are still trapped in the tunnels. May the Lord welcome the deceased to his home and give comfort to their families."

Think Progress: In his interview with Fox News this afteroon, Vice President Dick Cheney confirmed to reporter Brit Hume that he consumed alcohol prior to the shooting incident. Hume reported that Cheney admitted to having at least "a beer at lunch."
QUESTION: You asked him about alcohol being consumed on premises.
HUME: I did.
QUESTION: And what did he say about that?
HUME: He said he had a beer at lunch and that had been many hours earlier. And it was dusk, around 5:00 p.m., when this incident happened. And he said that, you know, they had lunch out in the field, a barbecue, and he had a beer. But you said you don't hunt with people who have been drinking. He said no one was drinking. He said they went back to the ranch afterwards, took a break after that, and went out about 3:00 and so you're four or five hours distanced from the last alcohol that he consumed. And he said no one was drinking, not he nor anyone else.
This morning, ThinkProgress posed some questions the media should ask about the role of alcohol in the accident.
UPDATE: Mr. Whittington's doctors "had no comment on whether Whittington's blood alcohol level had been tested after the accident."
(Hat tip for above: Think Progress.)
Truthdig says:
In his Fox News interview, Cheney admitted to drinking a beer at lunch before the hunt, which took place a few hours later. (Hat tip: Think Progress.)
If this is true, it's probably not a big deal. It takes only an hour to get a beer out of your system—less time if you're Cheney's size. (But if Cheney was low-balling the amount he drank, it wouldn't be the first time he misled the public.)
UPDATE: AMERICAblog reports that MSNBC's website "scrubbed" a reference to Cheney's drinking.
From Fox News via Think Progress
Brit Hume interviewed the vice president on Feb. 15 about his hunting accident.

Trey Burke's time in Ann Arbor is over and it won't soon be forgotten. His impact as Michigan's point guard was obvious. He dominated the ball, scored, created, and defended. Burke was the National Player of the Year because of his impressive statistics. He was a winner and carried Michigan to heights it hadn't seen in 20 years. There is no shortage of numbers to prove how great Burke's sophomore season was. We know about Burke's production but there's one element of his game that shouldn't be overlooked – or at least hasn't been quantified – his ability to create late in the shot clock. According to Synergy Sports, Burke was the most productive late clock player in the Big Ten. He used 53 offensive possessions with less than four seconds remaining on the shot clock (more than any player in the league) and scored 1.097 points per.

- Proven ISO Compliant Methodologies
- Provisional and Final Air Gap Criteria
Air Gaps are normally the most critical Metocean related design criteria for fixed offshore structures. Why: because if exceeded, waves will impact the platform deck (deck inundation) and loading levels increase dramatically. Such occurrences are not conceptual nor inconsequential: the majority of platform failures in the Gulf of Mexico have been attributed to Air Gap exceedance. OceanMetriX Ltd has proven capabilities in the specification of Air Gaps world-wide (our work features in the award winning OMAE2009-79466 Structures, Safety and Reliability paper).
Proven, ISO Compliant Methodologies: Metocean parameters which contribute to Air Gap calculations are: extreme storm crest heights, associated storm surge and tide levels. We calculate these as follows: Extreme Storm Crest Heights: Calculated using tried and tested ISO compliant methodologies; Associated Storm Surge levels: Calculated using OceanMetriX's Conditional Criteria Methodology (CCM); and Tidal levels: Calculated by harmonic analyses of local instrument and global satellite derived datasets. We use ISO specified formulae to combine these parameters to obtain Extreme Water Levels and Air Gaps.
Provisional and Final Air Gap Criteria:
Provisional: intended for concept and sensitivity assessments, they are developed from the wave, surge and tide datasets in OceanMetriX's archives. Lower Bound: assume surges do not correlate with extreme storm crests, Upper Bound: assume complete dependence.
Final: developed from external, long-period datasets, with association between crest and surge determined by our Conditional Criteria Methodology (CCM). Lower Bound: crest, surge relation specified by the CCM, Upper Bound, specified by the CCM with enforced asymptotic dependence.
