Better Nutrition With Homemade Soup
Many of my clients tell me how much they like having soup for lunch in the colder months, but most of the time, they name off various brands of soups bought at the store. Don't get me wrong: many commercial soups are great options for the calorie conscious. The problem with canned soups, of course, is the sodium content. Some products have an excess of 1,000 mg of sodium per serving. To my way of thinking, this is far too much salt for one simple food item. So while it's easy to turn to grocery store shelves for your lunchtime soup, consider making your own soup.
The beauty of homemade soup is that you can literally take any basic soup recipe and modify it based on ingredients you have on hand. You can make adjustments and get the sodium content reduced without foregoing good taste. Most soups start with a stock, broth, or a vegetable base. You can make your own stock if you have the time, but starting with a ready made broth can cut down on preparation time. If you buy ready made soup broth, I recommend that you read the labels carefully. Regular broth will make your homemade version of soup just as high in sodium as canned soup. The low sodium versions of broth have sodium too! I found that most of the "low sodium" brands of broth had close to 500 mg. sodium per serving. This is still too much if you are sodium conscious. I found several organic low sodium stocks with just 140 mg. per serving, so it pays to look around.
If you want to try making homemade soup for your lunches, here's an idea: make one batch pot of a different soup every week. Keep enough of the soup on hand for one or two meals, and then freeze the rest in smaller containers, preferably 1-2 portion containers. If you make a different kind of soup each week, you will soon have a "selection"of different soups in your freezer that you can choose from for a quick lunch or dinner meal. Take a single serving of frozen soup to work and you'll have a nice healthful meal ready to heat up.
Here is my favorite vegetable soup recipe:
Vegetable Barley Soup
2 Tb. olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup diced carrots
12 oz. fresh mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup barley (use pearl or hulless barley)
6 cups low sodium beef, chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 tsp coarse salt
2-3 cups chopped spinach, kale or Swiss chard
Heat oil in large pot and sauté onions and carrots until tender. Add mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes. Add barley, low sodium broth and salt. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to simmer until barley is done. (Pearl barley takes about 40 minutes; hulless barley takes about 60 minutes to cook). Add chopped greens and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serves 6.

Finance for the equipment you need, when you need it
We recognise that all civil construction projects are different. That is why we give you the flexibility to choose the equipment you need when you need it, and return it when you don't.
We offer you flexibility through a range of financing options. We can help you manage residual risk by offering both on and off balance sheet options and can provide funding in different approved foreign currencies. What's more, funding your civil construction equipment through Capital Finance may limit the impact on your existing credit lines.
Flexible lease terms and payment options
Helping you manage your cash flow in a way that reduces operating costs and frees up capital is what we excel at. If your business wants to minimise its monthly loan repayments, we can help. Our 5-year or more lease terms can assist you to reduce your outgoings.
If you have peak income periods, we can structure your payments to match timings suited to your project.
Manage change
When you work on civil construction projects, change is just part of the way you do business. Changes to everything from regulatory requirements to job specifications can impact upon your project, so you need to be able to adapt to these changes quickly. We also understand that some projects need equipment specific for one job only. We pride ourselves on our ability to help you manage change and technical obsolescence through a flexible range of financing options.
The ability to manage your working capital
To help you achieve your balance sheet and profit and loss objectives, we offer a range of lease options, from genuine operating leases to finance leases and chattel mortgages. The equipment itself is generally used as the security.
Cut your administration time with a master facility
A Master Facility takes into account your aggregated financing needs. With a Master Facility, you don't need to negotiate a separate agreement every time you need more asset finance. The good news is that you only pay for the proportion of the facility you have drawn down.
You choose the equipment you want, not the equipment we supply
We have strong relationships with major suppliers, but are not locked in to any. That means you have the freedom to choose the supplier which can provide the equipment that best meets your needs.
A dedicated Relationship Manager – a specialist in civil construction
We know that saving time is important to you. That's why at Capital Finance you deal with one Relationship Manager, for everything, from beginning to end.

Alexa Tomas & Henessy A – Controlled
Released: January 29, 2016
Henessy teases in a miniscule G-string ensemble, before complaining to sexy Alexa Tomas about her controlling girlfriend. Alexa consoles her and they begin to kiss, tenderly at first but with growing passion. Henessy feels guilty, but also excited as she thinks about what they have done; Alexa catches her masturbating and grabs her in an ardent embrace, stripping her and pushing her onto the bed. She sucks and finger-bangs Henessy to a froth of excitement, then flips her over and licks her ass as Henessy diddles her own pussy to an intense orgasm. Henessy once again expresses her misgivings, but Alexa performs a slow, sensuous striptease for her, getting her aroused all over again. Henessy kneels to eat her pussy and ass, then fingers her to an explosive climax. The sweet ending suggests there is a bright future ahead for their blossoming relationship…

A structural support beneath a bridge that carries 5,800 cars a day has shattered, closing Woodland Drive adjacent to Lancaster High School until the entire bridge can be replaced.
The indefinite shutdown will limit access to LHS and eliminate a major cut-through route across the northwest quadrant of the city. Woodland Drive connects West Meeting Street with North Main and S.C. 9 Bypass East.
A woman suffered nonfatal injuries during a dramatic shooting in Lancaster Wednesday evening that was caught on video and posted to Facebook.
The shooting happened about 7 p.m. at 139 Melton Park Circle, just off West Meeting Street across the road from the old Joslyn Clark Controls building, according to Lancaster County sheriff's spokesman Doug Barfield.
The woman, who was shot twice, was the only victim in an incident that began as a fight and ended with at least 30 shots fired at a fleeing vehicle.

Lily Grace Patterson, a 9-year-old rising 4th-grader at Harrisburg Elementary in Indian Land, won the Little Miss South Carolina Overall Queen title last Saturday at the annual pageant in Hartsville.
"I was in shock," Lily said after the contest. "I did not know that was going to happen. They then called me back to the stage, and they said it was me. Oh, my goodness! It felt so amazing."
Indian Land's much-delayed RedStone commercial project has a new expected opening date – February 2018.
Michael Bilodeau, development manager for MPV Properties, talked about the project Thursday. He said the anchor tenant, the 14-screen cineplex RedStone 14, has topped out at the site, and work on 11 of the 13 other announced businesses is under way.
Bilodeau said he feels very confident of the new opening date now that construction has started.

Phylogenetic patterns of emergence of new genes support a model of frequent
Comparative and evolutionary genomics
New gene emergence is so far assumed to be mostly driven by duplication and divergence of existing genes. The possibility that entirely new genes could emerge out of the non-coding genomic background was long thought to be almost negligible. With the increasing availability of fully sequenced genomes across broad scales of phylogeny, it has become possible to systematically study the origin of new genes over time and thus revisit this question.
We have used phylostratigraphy to assess trends of gene evolution across successive phylogenetic phases, using mostly the well-annotated mouse genome as a reference. We find several significant general trends and confirm them for three other vertebrate genomes (humans, zebrafish and stickleback). Younger genes are shorter, both with respect to gene length, as well as to open reading frame length. They contain also fewer exons and have fewer recognizable domains. Average exon length, on the other hand, does not change much over time. Only the most recently evolved genes have longer exons and they are often associated with active promotor regions, i.e. are part of bidirectional promotors. We have also revisited the possibility that
We suggest that the overall trends of gene emergence are more compatible with a
The hallmark of the signature of a new gene (or orphan gene) is that it arises at some time within the evolutionary lineage towards an extant organism and has no similarity with genes in organisms that have split before this time
We have developed phylostratigraphy as a method that identifies the genes that have arisen at each stage of a series of phylogenetically relevant splitting events
In the present paper we use the mouse as a focal species, which has a particularly well annotated genome. We show that it is indeed possible to derive distinctive patterns for gene emergence, which appear to be generally in accordance with a
The duplication-divergence versus the
Phylostratigraphy of mouse genes
The phylostratigraphic approach was used to estimate the time of emergence of each of 20,775 annotated protein coding loci in the mouse genome (Figure

Approximately 60% of the annotated protein coding genes in the mouse genome originate from prokaryotic and basal eukaryotic ancestors (ps1-2). The rest of the genes have emerged later in the phylogenetic history, with peaks correlating to large scale biological transitions. For example, the peak around ps6 represents the single-cell to multicellular organism transition
Genomic features across ages
We used the phylostratigraphic assignment of the genes to assess the emergence trends over time for several relevant gene features (Figure
Figure 2
Features of genes for different phylogenetic age groups in the mouse

Median number of InterPro domains per gene; D. Median exon numbers per gene; E. Median exon lengths per gene. Box-whisker plots around median values (bars) with quartile ranges and outliers as dots. Significant (p < 0.01) distribution differences were found for ps20 (marked with *) in E (t-test). Gray bars indicate phylostrata with non-randomly distributed values for each variable, based on permutations (n = 10,000) and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests (p<0.01).
With respect to gene length, the
A differential prediction can also be made for the expected correlation with protein domain emergence.
Average exon length, on the other hand, shows no clear age-dependence (Figure
To assess whether these patterns constitute general trends that can be observed in other lineages as well, we have also analyzed them for humans, stickleback and zebrafish lineages. Humans were included since the genome is equally well annotated as the mouse genome, the fish species represent another vertebrate lineage split more than 400 million years ago. Analysis of these three genomes confirms indeed almost all trends with similarly high correlation coefficients (Figure

Chromosomal distribution
Gene emergence appears to be randomly scattered across all chromosomes (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, 10,000 permutations), with exception of a few clusters (Figure

Green mark indicates a local cluster of young genes spanning several phylostrata.
Association with transcriptionally active sites
Transcriptionally active regions can be identified by specific marks, such as CpG islands, histone methylation (H3K4me3) peaks or DNAseI sensitivity hotspots. We find that genes in ps1-3 (representing origin of cellular organisms, eukaryotes and opisthokonts, respectively) have a significant excess of genes associated with these regions (Figure

To explore this pattern further, we analyzed each of the three marks separately and further distinguished between unidirectional and bidirectional promotors (Figure

Testis is known to have the largest number of tissue-specifically expressed genes, many of which are newly evolved genes
When plotting the over- and under-representation profiles specifically for testis expressed genes, we find a significant enrichment for testis genes mostly from ps15 onwards (Figure

Examples for overprinting of genes
Examples for overprinting of genes. Gene structures of four genes are shown, whereby the exons (boxes) are drawn to scale, while the introns (lines) are not to scale. Open boxes are non-coding, filled boxes represent the reading frames. Ancestral gene versions are yellow, derived ones are purple. The Figure is based on annotations and graphics from Ensembl, whereby only the relevant splice variants are shown. A: Reep6 (ENSMUST00000030237 and ENSMUST00000060501); B: Polr1d (ENSMUST00000154641 and ENSMUST00000114425); C: Hoxa9 (ENSMUST00000048680, ENSMUST00000110557 and ENSMUST00000050970).
The first example is the gene Reep6, where an additional start codon has evolved in the first exon, which initiates a new reading frame, overlapping the ancestral one (Figure
Figure 8
Phylogenetic tree for Reep5 (blue labels) and Reep6 (red/black labels)
Phylogenetic tree for Reep5 (blue labels) and Reep6 (red/black labels). Both genes are present in euteleostomes (ps12), and belong to a larger family of eukaryotic genes (ps2). The Reep6 locus in mouse codes for two proteins of different age. The older protein (Reep6) was mapped to ps2 (eukaryotes), the newer protein (Reep6 overprint) to ps17 (boreoeutherians). Note the enhanced substitution rate at the basis of this subtree (in black), as represented by branch length. Modified gene tree from Ensembl record ENSGT00550000074535.
The second example for overprinting is Polr1d, a subunit of RNA polymerase I and III, which has acquired two additional exons at the end of the ancestral gene. Alternative splicing leads thus to a new protein that shares only the start codon and a few initial amino acids with the ancestral gene (Figure
The third example is Hoxa9, one of the canonical Hox genes involved in anterior-posterior patterning. In this case, the ancestral gene has first acquired an additional intron that leads to a truncated version of a protein, an arrangement that is conserved between birds to mammals
The trends described above provide new insights into the modes of gene emergence over time. For the two models,
We rely generally on blastp searches for classifying the genes to phylostrata. There have been extensive simulation efforts that have shown that this is an adequate procedure
We relate our analysis only to the currently annotated Ensembl reading frames, although these are in a constant flux, due to curation and further refinement of annotation procedures. In fact, it has already been noted that the currently available annotations underestimate the number of orphan genes, since finding a homologue for a gene is one accessory criterion for annotation. This affects mostly the genes from ps20, which are under-represented
De novo evolution versus duplication-divergence
The duplication-divergence model, on the other hand, seems much less compatible with these trends. Under this model, one would expect that the new gene should inherit the gene structure from the parental gene. Since long and short genes should equally often be the source of new genes, and since duplications should happen similarly at all time horizons, one would not expect to see the dependence between age and length features.
Domain number is also highly correlated with age, with younger genes having far fewer domains. This is not a simple effect of the similarity searches that we have used, since the domain annotation in Interpro is based on a combination of a variety of different procedures that go beyond blastp matches
Regulatory evolution
It is still unclear how a new gene can acquire its regulatory elements. One possibility is that there are many cryptic transcriptional initiation sites around the genome. Indeed, it appears that most of the genome becomes transcribed at some time
Another way of making use of an existing promotor is to develop an alternative reading frame within an existing gene. This can be caused by the acquisition of an alternative splicing, whereby the original start codon is retained (e.g. in Polr1d). Alternatively, a separate start codon becomes used that initiates a different reading frame (e.g. Reep6). This has long been thought to be very unlikely, mostly because of the common notion that in eukaryotes only the first AUG serves as a start codon in a mRNA. However, polycistronic mRNAs are known to occur in eukaryotes as well
We expect that it should be possible to detect many more cases of overprinting, if one does not only search annotated reading frames, as we have done here. For example, Chung et al.
Our search has specifically focused on cases where the overprinted reading frame has emerged later than the original one. Two of the previously well-studied genes fall into this class and we have recovered them. Such secondarily evolved proteins are the ones that give the strongest support for a

Gene structure analyses
Structural gene features were obtained from version 66 of Ensembl through BioMart for mouse (
Transcription associated regions
Regions of high transcriptional activity from basal promotors were defined as those containing any of these three features: presence of CpG islands, H3K4me3 peaks or DNAseI sensitivity hotspots. These features allow broad range recognition of potential and actual sites with enhanced transcriptional activity. All datasets were taken from the UCSC Genome Browser

Secondary reading frames
This screen was devised to find annotated candidates for emergence of new genes within existing genes based on annotated products. All complete open reading frames corresponding to the same genomic location (ENSMUSG) were considered as candidates, if the minimum and maximum age values differed by at least 2 phylostrata (to avoid screening borderline classifications between phylostrata). Within each genomic location, ORFs were aligned at the nucleotide and protein level using global (needle)

We met up with Enrique Carelli (Junior), the Director of Bodegas Carelli, who chatted to us about our range, 34°, and the producer behind the brand.
The Carelli building was built in 1845 and bought by Enrique Carelli in 1943. With only a slight renovation 15 years ago, the building has stayed true to its original design. The large stone blocks and high ceilings keep the environment cool and the conditions ideal for the making and storing of wine.
Due to the Mendoza climate, the main obstacle that they have to overcome is the lack of rainfall throughout the year. In fact, there is only ever usually rain in December and so they have to look at other ways to water the vines. To overcome this they take their water from the ice caps at the top of the nearby mountains. This is collected through channels that transfer the water down and they have created a dam to store the water to use at their convenience. The water is distributed to the vines through a dripping system, which drops water on the vine every couple of hours. This extreme control contributes towards the quality of the wine.
The grapes are hand-picked for highest quality and placed into a de-stemmer to make the grapes ready for crushing and pneumatic pressing. Carelli's main focus at this point is retaining as much of the fruits characteristics in the grape as possible so temperatures are kept cool, helped by the conditions the building creates. Their wines are mostly 100% varietal wines, however there is sometimes the occasional 1% of other grape varieties for quality and taste purposes.
The Carelli 34° range is of excellent quality and truly defines Carelli and their winemaking skills. The wines are doing superbly in the UK. The Cabernet Sauvignon has just been awarded bronze in the 2011 Sommelier Wine Awards, run by Imbibe magazine, which is a 100% blind tasting from a panel of sommelier.
The story behind the label 34° is a rather humorous anecdote that both father and son find enjoyable to regale. It dates back to when Enrique Senior was in charge, just before Enrique Junior was born. At the time he had only daughters, which was regarded by their local village as a serious problem. They soon voiced their concerns at him having no son to carry on the winery. Then an elderly man in the village proclaimed that he had the recipe for how to make him a produce a baby boy. He told him that he had a farm where they could go for 10 days to stay in and hunt and then he would be able to have a son.
Not worried about his lack of a son but not wanting to offend the man, Enrique humoured him in his harmless invitation. Enrique went and they hunted and relaxed on the farm for 10 days. During this time he was given a special tea and when asked what it was he was told the tea was brewed from Ostrich stomach. Sure enough, after the 10 days, Enrique went home and the next child they had was a baby boy and the "heir" to the Carelli winery.
20 years ago Enrique Senior was told that this farm was to be sold and, unwilling to let that happen, he bought the farm because of everything that it represented. The farm is situated at 34 degrees latitude, the name of the range.

In a crucial second CIC hearing on 1st November regarding whether political parties should come under RTI, all recognised political parties argued against it, while the Congress did not even send its representative for the hearing
Recently Moneylife had carried the story of how, at the Central Information Commission (CIC) hearing on 26th September, only NCP and CPI sent their representatives to give their opinion on whether "political parties should be declared as public authorities and brought under the purview of RTI." (Indian political parties fear RTI consequences; skip CIC hearing )
The full bench of the CIC was forced to keep the matter pending to give the general secretaries of other major political parties, one more chance. Thus, the next hearing took place on 1st November. This was a sequel to complaints made by RTI applicants Anil Bairwal and Subhash Chandra Agarwal who appealed to the CIC that they were not supplied information or were given only part information by all the five major political parties. Congress and CPI (M) had flatly refused information stating that they do not come under the purview of the RTI Act.
It may be recalled that Bairwal and Agarwal had sought the following information from the five major political parties:
The Congress high command and its senior political leaders who do not miss any opportunity to tom-tom about having brought in the RTI Act was the only political party which did not send its representative at the crucial CIC hearing on 1st November. The CIC had asked the general secretaries of the All India Congress Committee, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Bahujan Samaj Party and Public Information Officer of the Election Commission of India to be present.
The full bench, comprising Chief Information Commissioner Satyanand Mishra and Commissioners ML Sharma and Annapurna Dikshit, of the Central Information Commission (CIC) conducted the second hearing. Earlier, CPI was the only political party which had replied that: "a) Yes. We are Public Authority under Section 2 (h)(d)(ii) 'non-government organisation substantially financed, directly or indirectly by funds provided by the appropriate government'; and b) we have our internal appellate authority 'Central Control Commission'." The CPI also promptly provided a list of their largest donors, their addresses and the mode of payment of these donations.
Predictably but disgustingly, at the November CIC hearing, there was vehement opposition from all political parties to declare themselves as "Public Authorities" under the RTI Act, 2005. According to a press release issued by Anil Bairwal of the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), Sharad Pawar's NCP stated to the CIC that coming under RTI would be dangerous for them. Its representative said that the information regarding the donors to the political parties might be used to threaten the donors and these donors would also be intimidated by the rival political parties.NCP also feared that huge machinery involving lots of manpower would be needed to cater to the responses of RTI applications, if political parties are made public authorities. Its representative also explained that its funding from government is just a minute percentage of the overall income.
Mayawati's BSP deposed that no amount of funding—direct or indirect—is provided to the party from the government. The party's representative argued that facilities such as income tax exemptions, plots of land, properties and buildings at concessional rents, free air time and other facilities don't constitute funding. Its representative also argued that there should be a government notification for political parties to come under RTI.
BJP and CPI (M) together chorused that the intent of legislature while making the RTI Act was never to bring political parties under the jurisdiction of the Act.
The CIC's November hearing has reserved the judgment, thus dragging the crucial issue of political parties dodging transparency.
Anil Bairwal has submitted incisive and in-depth arguments to the CIC by quoting several high court and Supreme Court judgments as to why political parties are 'Public Authorities'. Bairwal also states that, "A political party controls its nation by getting its candidates elected to the public offices. Political parties visibly declare that they work for the upliftment of the public. Political parties in their hunt for power spend more than Rs1,000 crore during elections. Nobody accounts for the bulk of the money so spent and there is no accountability anywhere. There are no proper accounts and no audit at all. In a democracy where rule of law prevails, this type of naked display of black money, by violating the mandatory provisions of law, cannot be permitted."
For other news and articles on RTI, click here.
Bairwal states that if political parties come under RTI, "Citizens can check commonplace evils like giving tickets to criminals, tickets based on the sole criteria of money, disclosure of the criteria of selection of candidates and it would also reveal corruption. If the internal functioning of political parties is made public, then they would become more accountable."
Bairwal points out the following reasons why political parties are 'Public Authorities' and should therefore come under the RTI Act:
To conclude, in one of the judgments, the Supreme Court had stated: "In a government of responsibility, where all agents of the public must be responsible for their conduct, there can be but few secrets. The people of this country have a right to know every public act, everything that is done in a public way, by their public functionaries. They are entitled to know the particulars of every public transaction in all its bearing…"

The south-India based automotive ancillary manufacturer posted decent results on back of increased volumes and sales on higher momentum off-take in automotive sector.
Amara Raja Batteries reported 28% year-on-year (y-o-y) increase in net sales for the quarter ended 30 September 2012. It went from Rs562.72 crore recorded in September 2011 to Rs718.72 recorded for this period. Its operating profit grew by 23% y-o-y to Rs108.61. Net profit was up 35% at Rs70.1 crore. This was a result of strong growth on both volumes and value terms and increased momentum (even if a bit subdued) automotive sector.
Click here to read about other companies' results
It's average y-o-y net sales growth rate was 31% and, likewise, operating profit average growth rate 45% y-o-y. Admittedly, the company has not performed as per expectation even though its net sales never reported a single decline. The valuation of the company is on the lower end, somewhat, with market capitalisation 8.9 times its operating profit while return on equity is a stupendous 33%.
According to the company, the automotive battery business reported strong growth both in volume and value despite muted demand in the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) segment of four-wheeler batteries. The growth in volumes of four-wheeler and two-wheeler batteries was primarily due to continuing momentum in all formats of aftermarket. The trading in tubular batteries and home UPS under Amaron and PowerZone private label program has sustained the impetus during the quarter, aided by strong demand.
The industrial battery business has reported a marginal growth in volume enabled by good demand from the telecom sector. It has a preferred vendor status built over the years, notwithstanding higher competitive intensity.
Commenting on the Q2 performance, Jayadev Galla, managing director, Amara Raja Batteries said, "I am happy to note that our performance is in line with our expectations despite the fact that there has been slowdown in the automotive OEM sector. Escalating conversion and distribution costs, primarily owing to power shortage, steep increase in power tariff and diesel price, are adversely impacting the margins in OEM and telecom businesses. However, we are confident of reporting double digit growth both in topline and bottomline for FY 12-13."
Commenting on the Q2 performance, K Suresh, chief financial officer, said, "We continue to enjoy debt-free status with free cash of over Rs340 crore as on 30 September 2012. The market capitalization of the company now stands at over Rs3800 crore aided by the company's performance and liquidity created by the recent sub-division of face value of equity shares from Rs2 per share to Re1 each effective 26 September 2012, which we believe will delight the stakeholders who reposed faith in our long-term story."
We had recommended this stock at when its stock price was Rs157.50 and now it is quoting at Rs257 at time.

IncanDecent Light is light produced by IncanDecent bulbs. Light produced by any other type of bulb is considered to be "Indecent" in the Eyes of God.
History of Incandecent LightingEdit
Incandecent light bulbs were invented by the Great American Thomas Edison after The Baby Jesus told Benjamin Franklin to discover Electricity.
The War on Incandecent LightEdit
The liberals declared war on Incandecent light by introducing "Compact Fagessence" light bulbs. These light bulbs are designed using a downward spiral, which is a Satanic plot to suck in American values. The liberal media reports that Compact Fagessence light bulbs use 50% less energy than Incandecent bulbs; what they fail to mention is that if these bulbs are not properly disposed of and are smashed to bits when they burn out, they release mercury vapor, which is harmful to the environment. The liberals do not mention this because improper disposal of Compact Fagessence bulbs is a key part of their plan to validate Al Gore's myth of Global Warming.
Bulbpocalypse: The Darkeness is Here!Edit
With the coming of the end of the Incadecent lightbulb to be replaced with their "liberal hippie friendly" bulb, many patriotic Americans have refused to accept the new changes. Many are even betting that they will make a fortune selling illegal bulbs when it happens, I already bought an entire warehouse full of these golden bulbs.

Kuala Lumpur, Jun 30: When India and Pakistan meet on a cricket field, it is always a high-voltage and eagerly anticipated clash. Whether it is at the senior or junior level, it is an extra motivation for the players on both sides to do well.
Come Sunday, July 1, we will witness yet another skirmish between the arch rivals. The Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur will be the setting for the latest edition of exchanges, though it is at the Under-19 level. It is the final of Under-19 Asia Cup 2012.
So far in this edition of Under-19 Asia Cup, Pakistan have been unbeaten. That should anoint them as favourites for the title decider on Sunday. But India's lone defeat in the tournament was against Pakistan, by just one run.
But the performances of Pakistan team have been far superior than India's. They have batted and bowled brilliantly.
Pakistan started off the tournament by crushing minnows Nepal by eight wickets. Then they met India and eked out a 1-run success despite a magnificent century by left-hander Vijay Zol. It was a last-over thriller.
Babar Azam-led side then thrashed hosts Malaysia by a mammoth 249-run margin.
Pakistan topped the four-team Group A standings and faced Afghanistan in the semi-finals. Their domination was on view again as they crushed Afghan hopes by 151 runs.
India began their campaign with a eight-wicket triumph over Malaysia before losing to Pakistan. The Unmukt Chand-captained legion successfully defended 176 in a rain-hit game against Nepal to earn a spot in second semi-final against Sri Lanka.
In the meeting against Sri Lanka, they chased down 245, thanks to a fine ton by Chand.
On current form in the tournament, both teams might appear strong. But Pakistan hold slight edge considering their showings in the previous matches. But that is no way discounting India's chances. They will have revenge on their mind.
This also a big opportunity for both countries' players to impress their respective national selectors.
In all, it could be an exciting contest on Sunday. Who will triumph?

Look, Ma, No Holes!
This, my friend, is a sock heel with no holes, thanks to Wendy Johnson, the Goddess of Socks. I don't have the book -- yet -- but somebody at Ravelry pointed me towards her heel-turning technique, and it works! Hallelujah!
Now I just hope the sock will fit!
In other happy news, tomorrow I give my Tolkien final. Of course, the semester starts a week from Monday and I'm already ridiculously behind, thanks to sock-knitting, but, as I always tell myself, Everything Will Get Done Somehow. And in the meantime, I won't be falling out of my socks.
Oh, note to Lee: on the previous pair, the good bind-off is actually the one on the right, not the left. The left looks neater, but that's because it's a tight weave, which means that getting the sock on your foot is difficult and uncomfortable. On the right-hand sock, I used a much stretchier bind-off, so the sock goes on and off without any trouble. Not as pretty, but much more comfy!

Stay tuned for my dish on this morning's rehearsal, which included a look at the show's opening number, a chat with the executive producer and a trip to the same bathroom Jennifer Garner may be heading to during commercial breaks. (It's not as fancy as you may think.) Posted 3:28 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 15:
Off to L.A.: I'm about to leave for the airport, so depending on my hotel's Internet connection, I'll try to blog a little later this afternoon from the West Coast. Don't forget to log on Sunday to track my every move at the Emmys — it should be a fun, if chaotic, weekend. Posted 6:31 p.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 14:
If you're really bored at work today: Here's some news on the Spin Doctors' new album, which hit stores yesterday. You can hear the band's new single at spindoctors.com. Posted 4:11 p.m.
Just what we wanted to hear: "I haven't left the Buffyverse behind," Joss Whedon told this site when asked whether a TV movie about Spike was in the cards. "I can only teasingly hint, unfortunately, until it's got backing and we've got a schedule and a contract." Still, it sounds like there's hope. Posted 4:08 p.m.
Welcome back, Carver: FX.com has posted a fun video preview, updated cast bios and a saucy photo from Nip/Tuck, which starts its third season Sept. 20. I can't decided which season premiere I'm more excited about: this one or Lost. Posted 2:57 p.m.
More Albert: What happens when you mix Fat Albert with Napoleon Dynamite? You get Fat Dynamite, of course. Thanks to Hip reader Kevin S. for the link. Posted 12:19 p.m.
Hey, hey, hey: Thanks to Bill Cosby, Fat Albert's name is no longer linked to a sexually explicit website. The comedian won a trademark infringement lawsuit Monday that will transfer the naughty domain to Cosby. Honestly, I'm a little sad I never got the chance to see this mysterious site ... Posted 11:57 a.m.
Here's Johnny: I've been wanting to preview Daltry Calhoun for awhile; not only does it take place in small-town Tennessee (something I'm very familiar with), but the country-tinged soundtrack is supposed to be splendid. The official site still doesn't have a trailer link, but previews have been posted elsewhere. The flick stars Johnny Knoxville in a semi-serious role as a golf-club owner who is reunited with his teen daughter. I'm keeping an open mind. Posted 10:03 a.m.
House notes: A couple of you have e-mailed me about last night's House premiere; specifically, you wanted to know what tune played at the end of the episode. According to tv.com, it was Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah. (The Leonard Cohen tune is a favorite during sad moments on The O.C. as well.) Posted 9:51 a.m.
Mystery of the universe: Not only is Maury Povich's talk show still on the air, it has been renewed through 2007. In other trashy TV news, Blind Date began its seventh season last week. Posted 9:42 a.m.
Return of the sideburns: These photos from the set of X-Men 3 aren't spectacular, but we do get a clear glimpse of Hugh Jackman as a buffer-than-ever Wolverine. Posted 9:38 a.m.
Note to Simon Cowell: A movie based on American Idol is a terrible idea. Did From Justin to Kelly teach us nothing? Posted 9:33 a.m.
Tuesday, Sept. 13:
Angel of the afternoon: TVGuide.com has posted an interview with David Boreanaz, whose new series debuts tonight on Fox. How he describes Bones: "It's a bit of a throwback to Moonlighting, with a little of The X-Files thrown in." Posted 3:07 p.m.
For the ladies: You can hear the new Desperate Housewives soundtrack online here. Like the show, most of the tunes are sugary guilty pleasures — that is, unless you're the type of person who can listen to Martina McBride's rendition of Harper Valley PTA without an ounce of guilt. Posted 1:41 p.m.
T to the rescue: OK, so most of us have had it with reality shows. But can't we make an exception for Mr. T? Would it make a difference if I told you his new series was called I Pity the Fool? Posted 1:04 p.m.
Weekday updates: Tina Fey's baby daughter isn't the only news over at Saturday Night Live. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, two new cast members have been hired: Punk'd's Bill Hader and actor-writer Andy Samberg. Who's out? Comedian Rob Riggle, who was only on the show for one season. Posted 12:33 p.m.
'Toons on demand: Adult Swim fans will be elated to hear that, starting Friday, AdultSwim.com will begin posting entire episodes of its adult cartoons online (Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken and Tom Goes to the Mayor among them). In addition to complete shows, it plans to post previews of new episodes. Come Friday night, that just might be enough to keep me next to my laptop. Posted 11:09 a.m.
Blast from the past: I can't believe it's been 19 years since Ann M. Martin's Baby-sitters Club books were introduced — original fans of the series (like me) are now about 30 years old. According to this story, though, the titles may come back into fashion as graphic novels. The first title, Kristy's Great Idea, is set to debut in April. Posted 10:56 a.m.
Big-screen Boi: A few details about the upcoming OutKast movie are emerging, including the fact that it will take place in a 1930s speakeasy. Both Andre 3000 and Big Boi are set to star in the musical, which is being produced by HBO Films and should be released next year (with a soundtrack, of course). Ving Rhames, Cicely Tyson and Terence Howard also star. Posted 10:38 a.m.
Monday, Sept. 12:
Spoilers galore: Speaking of Lost, I don't want to keep going to this site, but I can't help myself. It offers spoilers for Lost, Desperate Housewives, Alias, Gilmore Girls and more — though only time will tell how right they are. Posted 4:06 p.m.
Go hunting: The Lost DVDs haven't been out a week, but already fans are searching for hidden features. Here's a list of some of the "eggs" that have been uncovered so far. Posted 4:03 p.m.
On Fire: This video clip of David Bowie performing with The Arcade Fire at VH1's Fashion Rocks shindig just gave me an extra boost of energy. I may have to watch it again now. Posted 3:58 p.m.
Raising my fist: Ever have one of those days when you don't even have time to go to the bathroom? Please forgive my slow updates and accept this pilot of Fox's Reunion, which you can now watch online. Posted 2:39 p.m.
Wallpaper-worthy: Here's the first photo of Brad Pitt as Jesse James. The Assassination of Jesse James also stars Mary Louise Parker and Sam Shepard, who was around for Pitt's first day of filming. An unwelcome photographer was arrested Friday after being discovered on the closed set. Posted 11:01 a.m.
Apple of our eyes: Speaking of "juicy," have you seen this Desperate Housewives promo? It certainly got my husband's attention the other night ... Posted 10:56 a.m.
Monday blues: Sorry for my delay, but it's going to be a busy week — on Thursday I leave for Los Angeles, where I'll get an early start on Emmy action. A popular diversion this morning seems to be Bonnie Raitt's new album, which is available for free on CMT.com. Stay tuned for more juicy links, which I'll post whenever I can catch a free minute. Posted 10:53 a.m.

The Silent Witness Project is a national initiative memorializing those that have died as a result of domestic violence.
The YWCA Mohawk Valley began an Oneida County version of the project in 2006 with a wooden silhouette representing Katie Humphrey, a niece of a YWCA employee who was murdered by her partner.
Since then the collection has grown to include:
Jodi Connor of Little Falls
Bonnie Bohling of New Hartford
Melissa Baker of Utica
Kristin Longo of Utica
Eithen Theall of Vienaa
Lisa Guzzardo of Westmoreland
In 2013, we introduced a banner stand version of the project. Each stand is 83 inches high and 31 inches wide and features life-size red silhouettes and information about each individual.
Why we do it
Murder is the ultimate threat abusers use to intimidate, frighten and control their victims. Our community has experienced too many domestic homicides. Our goal is to raise awareness about the devastating impact of domestic violence and prevent further deaths.
Submit a name
Our Silent Witnesses have been created with permission from the victims' families. Do you have a loved one you would like to honor? To add someone to the exhibit, please contact Kristie Cieslak, Assistant Director of Non-Residential Crisis Services: (315) 732-2159 ext. 230 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

A flashback recalls the birth and death dates of Judah Touro — 1775 (Newport Rhode Island) and 1854 (New Orleans) — and the legacy he left, especially in buildings in this city. Touro Infirmary bears his name and at the recent foundation gala at Mardi Gras World, Dr. Harris Hyman III and Dr. Salvador Caputto received the prestigious 2014 Judah Touro Society Award.
Another significant past chapter was the Battle of the War of 1812 that concluded in 1815 and is memorialized in an exhibition that was given a gala preview at the Old Ursuline Convent. And, concurrent with the vernissage, a Seville streetscape of decades ago was enlivened at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts, thanks to "Carmen." In addition to the opera, an earlier, special Opening Night Gala honored Betty Brooks Doss and, both posthumously, Lois Hawkins and Betty Noe, philanthropists and grandes dames in the New Orleans Opera Association fold. For each of the three above events, a historical claim made for a present strength.
Touro Tributes
Under the stars in the Mansion Room of Mardi Gras World's River City Complex, the Touro Infirmary Foundation Gala took shape with a patron party. Guests were welcomed by the sounds of the Courtyard Kings Jazz Band and treated to libations courtesy of the Goldring Family Foundation. At 7 p.m, the clarion call was to the River City Ballroom for a dinner catered by chef Thorsten Leighty, the executive chef of the New Orleans Marriott and 5 Fifty 5 Restaurant. The ballroom was a treat to the eye, as well, with decorations of calla lilies and white roses done by Steve Hamel and Fancy Faces.
The award presentation capped the evening's agenda with the citing of Dr. Harris Hyman III and Dr. Salvador Caputto, who, like the past recipients, have devoted themselves to the betterment of Touro Infirmary and have shown exemplary professionalism.
Among the many applauding them were their spouses, Barbara Hyman and Luz Caputto; Louisiana Children's Medical Center Health System CEO Greg Feirn; and from Touro Infirmary, foundation President and CEO Jim Montgomery and spouse Donna, governing board Chairman Hugh W. Long, Ph.D., and wife Susan L. Krinsky, foundation director Shon Baker, and governing board member Ruth Kullman with Larry.
The 2014 gala chairing credit went to Adrian Cohn and Shira Glazer, respectively with Sammie Wolf and Matthew Rosenthal. Then there were Clay Smith, Rabbi Edward Paul Cohn, Richard and Flo Schornstein, Jon Brouk, Jane Bories, Margaret Epstein with Joe, and former board chairman Paul Rosenblum with Edie. Several are past award recipients.
In 2002 and in 2009, Dr. George Cary and Catherine C. Kahn were the Judah Touro Society Award winners. They were asked to present the 2014 awards, with Dr. Cary (in from Atlanta) doing the honors for Harris Hyman, and Mrs. Kahn for Sal Caputto.
The gala after-party, titled L'Dor V'Dor (Hebrew for "From Generation to Generation"), took place back in the Mansion Room and featured food from a half dozen really good eateries. The musical menu came from Panorama Jazz Band and Mississippi Rail Co., which kept the place ever so lively until midnight tolled.
The Power of Prayer
The 10th gala and preview exhibition, "Praying for A Miracle: The Catholic Church and the Battle of New Orleans," was hosted by the Catholic Cultural Heritage Center and the Archdiocese of New Orleans at the Old Ursuline Convent Museum in the Vieux Carre. Two hundred years ago, people of New Orleans gathered with the Ursuline nuns on this same spot to pray during the Battle of New Orleans. During a Mass, according to the exhibit, a messenger burst into the chapel, proclaiming "Victory is ours!"
The evening's hosts and organizers included Archbishop Gregory Aymond, CCHC director the Very Rev. Philip Landry, CCHC board Chairwoman Barbara Turner Windhorst with her sister Davy Foto, event honorary Chaircouple Frank and Paulette Stewart, and CCHC board members Mr. and Mrs. Guy Chiappetta, Sarah McDonald with David, Deacon and Mrs. Larry Oney, Jackie Sullivan, and, with husband Dr. Ed, Janice Foulks, who chairs the CCHC's special events committee.
Figuring, too, within the "Miracle" ranks of 275 were Virginia Gould and David Speights, sisters Lee Siegel and Frances Salvaggio, Errin Erdal-Bellan and Jonathan, Sister Carla Dolce, O.S.U., Frank Currie, Mary and Tom Finney, Anna and Carl Ayestas, and Lynda Grillot and Dreux Montegut.
Among the plethora of highpoints were the program, which included a performance by the Ursuline Academy Women's Chorus, a welcome from Father Landry, and comments from Archbishop Aymond and Mayor Mitch Landrieu; an earlier welcome at the front entrance by bagpipers and drummers from Kilts of Many Colours; and the period costumes sported by the Daughters of 1812, Chalmette Chapter.
Classic New Orleans cuisine from several purveyors filled the plates, Fred Holley made sure there were libations, and Bevolo Gas and Electric provided decorative lanterns used throughout the evening's décor, which was designed by Accent on Arrangements.
Taking all this in were Cynthia and Juan Valadez, Deacon Richard and Sandra Brady, Melissa Adams and Georgia Rhody, former Archdiocese archivist Chuck Nolan with Gayle, and Maureen Scheuermann and Kevin Charpentier.
A most special recognition occurred when Archbishop Aymond presented the above Barbara Turner Windhorst with the Francesco Cardinal Marchisano Award for her decade of service as a CCHC board member. The prestigious award is given to individuals who have dedicated efforts to the cultural heritage of the Catholic Church.
There was more to come! On an ever-so-pleasant evening, Kole made a mark. That was Ronnie Kole, who, along with Jeff Greenberg served up scintillating sounds featuring John Doheyn on saxophone.
Distaff Dynamism
The New Orleans Opera association cordially invited guests to the 2014-15 season's Opening Night Gala honoring the above Mmes. Doss, Hawkins and Noe at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre. A round of cocktails at the Norman Treigle Fountain launched the socializing that segued into a 6:30 p.m. dinner on mezzanine two of the theater, which had been transformed by A Majestic Soiree. After a few welcoming words from New Orleans Opera Association general and artistic director Robert Lyall, board President Ranney Mize and Mayor Mitch Landrieu , guests lifted shiny flatware to enjoy the Spanish-themed meal by Ralph Brennan's catering.
Special thanks went to gala Chairwomen Meredith Hathorn Penick and Dr. Erin O'Sullivan Fleming, and to NOOA executive director Timothy Todd Simmons for all of their work in making the event a success.
Linked with the "Carmen" theme was the opportunity to honor three formidable women, the above Betty Brooks Doss and the late Mmes. Hawkins and Noe.
Notables included Jim Doss (with honoree Betty), siblings James A. Noe III and Claire Noe Koch with husband Josh Koch, and with the above, Cheryl Landrieu, Lauren Lyall, Rawley M. Penick III, John P. Fleming, and Emel Mize. (Many are already red-circling Oct. 9, 2015, for that season's Opening Night Gala.)
Their numbers were increased by Joseph and Stephanie Bruno, Anita Weisberg, Jeanne Brooks, Xenia Krinitzky Roff, and for a cosmopolitan flair, French Consul General Gregor and Ingrid Trumel, honorary consul of Japan Donna Fraiche and husband Dr. John Fraiche, Consul General Motohiko Kato of the Consular Office of Japan in Nashville, and, from the same Nashville office, political researcher/adviser Takako Sato.
Then it was on to Spain with "Carmen!"

Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine
Poster Handle

Might be time to revisit these questions -
Sticking to your 'guidelines' then...
All this aside,
why was Bezerk and this thread created
? To what end? As a warning? as a phishing excercise to get additional input and perspective? A melting pot of ideas to work out the situation or a sounding board to find ways to combat the possible effects?
I have to assume, as a Human, that we arent just laying down and accepting this, and that efforts are being made to combat what is going on. Bezerk talks about factional wars, but not much seems to be playing out in the open?
Unless you can attribute certain recent events to to core story line?
Is it the fight back? Destruction of the ET efforts to terraform? or is it the on going terraforming?
I dont think any of these ideas or topics were really delved in to a great deal.
Maybe this will kick start things again?
BHD - nli 22434129
On topic, relevant questions.
Anonymous Coward 22434129
these are core,
questions and you probably know more about the answers than most?
For my part I would guess that all your suggested answers are most likely to be involved.
From the Ventner material posted, seems the idea of controlling AuGie has been around at least since the 1980's and presumably, this idea was based on his earlier laboratory research and experiments.
Of course we don't know what other scientists may have discovered and/or contributed. China and the briefcase technology springs to mind here.
It does appear that the Deepwater experiment was contrived and hence, governments were alerted and it became an international incident.
But did they know it was going to go wrong?
Surely not or the antidote would have worked?
Hence the Bezerk site which seems to have opened in June, 2010 around the time of the explosion, unless there was prior editing.
Control over this Grand Gulf of Mexico laboratory Experiment got lost and one gets the feeling that it got seriously out of hand on an international scale at the highest of levels.
In which, case the Bezerk site was intended to trawl in eclectic, scientific ideas from different sources of expertise, extending beyond the know how of the intelligence sources and their scientific advisers who were left, whistling in the dark, unclear as to the best way forward?
Since there was and probably still are, secret agendas here, the opportunity occurred to dumb down any contrary ideas of enlighenment, psychic or otherwise as this would go against the intended plan of regaining control and using it for various nefarious purposes, in the interests of the few individuals or countries.
I actually believe there may be an advanced, scientific explanation yet to be forthcoming which will innoculate us against any attempts to use AuGie as a weapon, against the population on a grand scale.
Hope this may provide some food for further thought?
