A different view of my life
It's pretty easy in my situation to sink into a vat of depression about how futile the future appears. Even after my surgery, from which I can feel that I'm a lot better off than I was before it, I still have a limited life, and I don't like that. I have so many things that I still want to do in my life, and I'm always feeling incapable of fulfilling those dreams. And off I go into my own little pity party. But yesterday Rhea at the Boomer Chronicles posted a meme of sorts, and although I'm loathe to do memes (no 25 of anything from me!) this one perked me right up.
It's called the bucket list. You have to review all 100 items and put in bold the ones you've already achieved in life. So, here — with my annotations — is my bucket list:

99. Been stung by a bee -- seriously allergic
100. Ridden an elephant -- ridden a camel though
All of which goes to show you that I've done a ton of shit in my life, most of it fun, positive, and slightly dangerous. That was all it took to get me out of my funk, to see what amazing things I have already done, and it also got me to travel down memory road to remember many of these items that I haven't thought about in years. OK, not everything was pleasant. Food poisoning rarely is, especially if you get it on Thanksgiving. Oh yeah!
But look how many cool things I've seen and done in my life. How much travel there has been, a wanderlust set off in early childhood by my family's insistance on month-long car trips across the continent every summer. I've been to 49 out of 50 states, all across Canada, and to Mexico. I've seen some of the more bizarre things America has to offer, like the Corn Palace, Peace Garden, and Paul Bunyon Land. Most of which have been gloriously preserved on film with me waving madly at the camera every time it passed me by.
I've lived a lifetime of good experiences. And I've also lived a lifetime of some really crappy experiences. I could let the crap weigh me down, but I'm just not into that anymore. I have my days, we all do. But really, it all boils down to what you remember that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and so many of these bucket list memories did just that.
Try it yourself.

Rusty and wonderful, this moss lined planter is just the thing. I'd pile it with more moss and ferns and put it in the shade. It's from Nantucket House Antiques on that most summery of islands…Nantucket in Massachusetts.

The shock inclusion in his place is Gloucester's ex-Pontypridd, Cornish Pirates and Plymouth lock Will James.
Grand Slam-winning hooker Mefin Davies is also omitted, lock James and wing Tom James the only uncapped players.
Wales coach Gareth Jenkins has named an extended squad of 41 for summer training and the 4 August England game, to be cut to the final 30 by 14 August.
His side then face further warm-up matches with Argentina and France, before their World Cup campaign opens against Canada in Nantes on 9 September - where Jenkins' team will head for a week-long training camp on 21 July.
Wales left 20 senior players at home for rest or rehabilitation during the two-Test summer tour of Australia.
Jenkins' weakened side lost both games against the Wallabies, but a number of players impressed, especially in the first Test.
Colin Charvis, Adam Jones, Michael Owen, Jon Thomas, Mike Phillips, James Hook and Gareth Thomas were foremost amongst the tourists in putting themselves forward for selection.
"Players have forced themselves into contention in Australia and there are others who still need the opportunity to show what they have to offer," said Jenkins.
"These are the kinds of selection dilemmas you need as a coach. I've no doubt that trimming this group of players down to a 30-man squad will be the hardest selection decision I've ever had to make as a coach - but it's a challenge I relish."
Queenslander Cockbain, 32, was a surprise inclusion in Wales' squad ahead of the 2003 World Cup in Australia.
He added an abrasive edge to the Welsh pack and was a key member of the 2005 Grand Slam team.
Having made the summer's Lions tour as a replacement, he ripped a hamstring muscle from his bone while playing Fiji in the autumn and has struggled to reclaim his place since.
He started the first Test in Australia last month, but an early head injury ended his participation in the tour and Owen impressed at lock in his place.
"Brent won't be working with us in the summer, but things happen, injuries occur, and I would consider him for the World Cup if circumstances change," said Jenkins.
"But I felt that we needed to up our ball-carrying options and defensive work at line-outs and I'm looking forward to seeing Will there.
"He is someone we have been keeping an eye on and we felt the time was right for us to have a closer look at him."
Gloucester hard-man James, 30, stands at 6ft 5ins and 19st and has a rugged reputation, being known by the nick-name 'Bull'.
Born in Plymouth, he qualifies for Wales through parentage and has been capped by Wales A.
He joined Gloucester from the Pirates last year, making 18 appearances this season, including a start in the Guinness Premiership final.
Wales' extended summer training squad:
Backs: Aled Brew, Lee Byrne, Gareth Cooper, Gavin Evans, Gavin Henson, James Hook, Dafydd James, Thomas James, Mark Jones, Stephen Jones, Kevin Morgan, Sonny Parker, Dwayne Peel, Mike Phillips, Jamie Robinson, Tom Shanklin, Ceri Sweeney, Gareth Thomas, Shane Williams.
Forwards: Huw Bennett, Colin Charvis, Ian Evans, Ian Gough, Richard Hibbard, Chris Horsman, Will James, Gethin Jenkins, Adam Jones, Duncan Jones, Alun Wyn Jones, Ryan Jones, Michael Owen, Alix Popham, Matthew Rees, Rob Sidoli, Gavin Thomas, Iestyn Thomas, Jonathan Thomas, Rhys Thomas, T Rhys Thomas, Martyn Williams.

A WIRRAL student has been banned from attending lessons with his fellow classmates after his school deemed his haircut "too extreme".
Eighteen-year-old Patrick Beesley decided to get his hair cut on Tuesday in preparation of having his school year book photograph taken the following day.
The Bromborough student, who is due to sit his A-levels later this year, asked for usual style but when he arrived for school at St John Plessington Catholic College on Wednesday, he was told it was too short.
As well as banning him from entering the main school building – meaning he is unable to attend his lessons – Patrick has also been told he cannot eat his lunch in the canteen and was prevented from taking part in the year book photograph.
Mum Gabrielle Fisher told the Globe she was furious at the school's decision, describing it as "ludicrous".
She said it was "unacceptable" to prevent Patrick from attending lessons and afterschool A-level revision classes, at such a crucial time of his education.
"Patrick's hair is cut in a popular style of the moment, very short at the sides and back and slightly longer on top, not what you would call extreme at all," explained Mrs Fisher.
Sixth Form rules state that hair should be no shorter than a number two.
"When Patrick was challenged about his hair he was totally honest and said he had asked for a number two but when it was cut he didn't think it was as short as it is normally was so he asked them to cut it a bit shorter," said Mrs Fisher, who told the Globe Patrick was a good student and had never had any bad reports or parents evenings.
"The school's response to all this is that by his own admission he broke the rules so he only has his self to blame for the repercussions.
"I just find it absolutely ridiculous that because his hair is probably less than a millimetre shorter than it should be he is banned from the main school building because he will set a bad example to the younger students, therefore banning him from his teachers, lessons and canteen to be able to eat his lunch."
Patrick, who is studying English, music and ICT, has been told the restrictions will stay in place until the length of his hair is deemed to be acceptable, at which point he will be allowed to have year book photograph taken.
Mrs Fisher said: "It is absolutely ludicrous – it is affecting my son's education.
"This just seems totally unacceptable to treat an 18-year-old adult in this way, to prevent his access to lessons and teachers at such a crucial time in his education just months before completion of courses and exams."
Patrick's parents are now issuing a formal complaint with the school, which Mrs Fisher said has been the firm choice for her family for years.
A spokesman for St John Plessington Catholic College said: "At SJP, our Sixth Formers, from the outset, are given very clear directions about the standards of uniform and appearance that expected.
"We are very proud of the high standards all our pupils set, including our Sixth Form who are great ambassadors for the college."

If you color your hair, you know it takes some extra steps to give it the love it deserves, particularly if you're going for those red tones. Recently, reader Norabora reviewed Nexxus Dualiste Dual Benefit Conditioner ($16), a dual pump conditioner that protects color from fading and delivers volume to limp locks. Here's what she had to say:
I just started using this conditioner (along with the matching shampoo) this week. My hair has serious volume issues, but I also dye it red, so it's really important that I use products for color-treated hair. I was stoked when I saw the commercial for these products, and so far I am pleased with the results. The scent is also pleasant and not overwhelming like some other products I have used.
If you've tried some new products, like Norabora, let us know about it on our Product Reviews website. See you back here tomorrow for the next featured review.

Gave Us That Warm Fuzzy Feeling
Free HDTV Calibration: All of Sharp's new Aquos HDTVs that are 42 inches or larger will come with free calibration. The best part is, you don't need to wait at home all day for a TV guru to show up at your house: The sets each have an ethernet port that Sharp's customer service can use to calibrate your TV via the Internet. A tip of the hat to Sharp for making our lives easier. --Greg Adler
Intel Hearts AMD:Intel representatives showed me the company's first motherboards that support CrossFire, the two-graphics-card setup devised by AMD's ATI group, and explained that they worked closely with AMD engineers to implement the feature. Okay, so the two companies may still be fierce archrivals, but it's nice to see they cooperated to enable something that a lot of gamers might want in their next PC. --Harry McCracken
Blu-ray Surges Ahead: The Blu-ray Disc format has been on a roll all week long, starting with Warner Brothers' preshow announcement that it would back Blu-ray exclusively and ending with word that Universal is doing the same. The buzz around Blu-ray stayed strong in between, with big excitement surrounding Sony's demo of copying a movie from a Blu-ray Disc to a PlayStation Portable. --Melissa J. Perenson
Did Somebody Say 'Go Green'?
CES Goes Green... This year, event organizers announced that CES was "going green" by reducing the show's carbon footprint, and they promised to promote energy-efficient practices. To offset the event's 20,000-ton carbon footprint, the Consumer Electronics Association said it would make donations to tree-planting organizations and other eco-friendly causes. --Tom Spring
...Or Does It? Kudos for the green practices, but I'm skeptical. The largest U.S. trade show aims to offset carbon by investing in environmental projects through Carbonfund.org. That's 20,000 tons, people! Exactly what projects will measurably do that on an annual basis? Let's be honest: CES is meant to be a huge, ostentatious light show. It's Vegas! Why make the empty claim? I'd like to see the CEA make a more serious effort to cut down on the excessive amount of paper and nonrecyclable swag at the event, and encourage members to lengthen product life cycles and employ reusable materials so we don't have to recycle as much. That would be more meaningful. --Narasu Rebbapragada

Employment, housing arrangements, driver's license changes, and schooling, are all indicators for permanent residency status. If you are travelling or caring for a sick relative you are typically not considered as a resident and therefore are probably not required to transfer your title to Washington.
If you are looking to do a state-to-state title transfer, where ownership is transferred as well, i.e. you are selling or purchasing a vehicle to or from another person in a different state, then the process is similar to a title transfer to yourself, but you will need to coordinate with the other individual throughout the process.
Rules vary depending on vehicle type, license status, and location within Washington. If you would like a customized guide, we recommend taxandtags.com. They are a reputable, professional service with major clients across the Country. They offer a comprehensive step-by-step process for transferring titles in the state of Washington, and tailor their products specific to your situation. All the forms necessary to undergo a title transfer are included in the guide.
The title transfer process can be complicated if you are doing it by yourself. A number of questions need to be solved before you can begin the transfer. For example, does your car require emission standard testing? A VIN check? Do you know if your auto insurance meets the minimum requirements in Washington? These requirements may or may not be necessary depending on your type and location of transfer.
In Washington, in most situations, the DMV requires notice within 30 days. It is recommended you act as quickly as possible to start completing the necessary forms (there can be quite a few of them sometimes).

I met you on a flight to Dallas! My name is Paige.
I was sitting in the aisle seat of an exit row, feeling tremendously nervous (per usual) and wondering when the hell my Xanax was going to kick in. I was attempting to distract myself with a magazine when you sat down. You were very handsome and I was very pleased.
We started talking and I informed you of my extreme flying nerves. You were quick to offer your hand should I feel particularly scared. I knew immediately that I would take it at least once, regardless of whether I was scared or not!
Take off is the worst part for me, so as soon as the wheels left the ground I was clinging to your arm like a kid in a lightening storm. Throughout the duration of the flight, I learned that you were headed to Wisconsin to be there for a friend that was going through a very hard time. You told me you went to college there but grew up in San Diego. You also said your name was Phil. Eventually, my Xanax kicked in and I became exhausted, I fell asleep on your shoulder and we continued to hold hands. It was so sweet and so refreshing.
Unfortunately my anti-anxiety pill got the best of me and the last things I remember saying to you were "I can't feel my legs" followed by a feeble "bye!" Yikes.
Phil from San Diego (with your 32′ boat) – Thank you so much for your kindness. I so wish we could have exchanged information, I would have loved to show you NYC and the East Coast!

U.S. should stick to Yucca project until other options are found
Supporters of nuclear energy should applaud a ruling that blocked the Obama administration's move to abandon the Yucca Mountain waste project, according to this editorial in The Oregonian. The federal government never pretended it has an alternative site for safely keeping nuclear waste, and until someone does have a better plan, it is pointless to terminate Yucca, the editorial board writes.

Time Schedule:
Crispin Thurlow Faber
Bothell Campus
Introduction to advanced work in interdisciplinary studies centered on broadly based questions and problems. Stresses the skills necessary to engage in upper-division research and learning in the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Program.
Class description
ABOUT BIS 300 CLASSES IN GENERAL The purpose of all BIS 300 classes is to introduce you to upper-division work in the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences program. It encourages you to take intellectual risks with the goal of improving your abilities to read closely, write and think critically, communicate clearly and creatively, research effectively, and work collaboratively. By doing so you will conclude the course acclimated to the rich variety of resources and support services available to you at UWB. You should leave this course with a new awareness of your own role as a recipient of knowledge but also as someone who creates knowledge.
ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR BIS 300 CLASS The topic of our class this quarter is "POOP!" We will come together as a community of learners to explore the diverse and inherently interdisciplinary topic of human excrement (aka "feces" or "crap"). Broadly speaking, our objective will be to explore the meanings, uses, and practices of poop and pooping. We will probably want to think historically, artistically, geographically, economically, culturally, environmentally, biologically, psychologically about poop. Who knows, we might even want to sing and dance about poop. It would certainly seem a responsible idea if we were also to consider poop from local, national and international or global perspectives. How we do all this is for you and me (Professor Thurlow) to decide together. There will be no conventional syllabus for this class; instead, we will craft our own syllabus according to the learning goals for all BIS 300 classes (see below).
Student learning goals
To understand the concept of interdisciplinary knowledge production and the ways in which it underwrites all aspects of the IAS Program.
To become a better critical thinker and writer--one who is capable of posing, answering and reposing a variety of critical questions.
To become a better researcher--one who is able to use the resources at UWB and elsewhere both efficiently and effectively.
To become a better speaker--one who is able to communicate clearly and engagingly about complicated topics, arguments and issues.
To learn how to work well collaboratively, as both a learner and a researcher.
General method of instruction
The methods of instruction and learning for this course are to be decided. They may include guest lectures, informational interviews, films, in-class discussions, presentations, group work, etc.
Recommended preparation
This is not a class for the squeamish or prudish. Poop is a serious matter. As a central and essential feature of every human existence, it is as worthy of our attention as any other topic. Of course, this class is intended to disrupt or play with the usual format and topics of the university course. For Professor Thurlow, this is a way to educate you in the ways of interdisciplinarity and knowledge making. It is hoped that you will have fun. It is expected that you will be prepared to work hard, to work respectfully and to work responsibly. You must be prepared to commit to the core BIS 300 learning goals. Think about these things before registering.
Class assignments and grading
The nature of assignments will again be decided collectively and consensually by the class under the mindful guidance of Professor Thurlow. Assignments might include formal/informal written pieces, class discussion and participation, presentations, small performances, artistic works, etc. In the service of the IAS portfolio framework, you will be expected to archive your work for the course in a portfolio.
This too is to be decided by the class under the guidance of Professor Thurlow, the instructor.

Bangalore: Captain Ross Taylor launched a stunning counter-attack with a blistering 113 as New Zealand showed great fighting spirit to recover from early jolts in the second cricket Test here today.
Taylor notched up his seventh Test century to pull his team out of trouble and guide the Kiwis to a respectable 328 for six on the opening day before bad light stopped play at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
It was a vastly improved batting display by the Kiwis who were bundled out cheaply in both the innings in the massive defeat in the first Test in Hyderabad.
Taylor showed the way as he led from the front by being more aggressive against the spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha who could not extract much turn from the first day track.
Wicketkeeper batsman Kruger van Wyk (63) and Doug Bracewell (30) were at the crease at stumps on a day which saw a record score being put up by a visiting team on day one at this stadium.
Opener Martin Guptill (53) and Daniel Flynn (33) were the other notable contributors for the Kiwis who showed a greater application against the spinners after deciding to bat first.
The visitors were at a shaky 89 for three at one stage before Taylor and Flynn resurrected the innings with a 107-run fourth wicket partnership.
Taylor, who failed in both the innings in Hyderabad, unleashed a flurry of strokes as the runs came at a brisk pace right through the day. Taylor clobbered 16 boundaries and two sixes in his 127-ball knock.
Pragyan Ojha was the pick of the Indian bowlers on day one by taking four wickets for 90 runs while Zaheer Khan and Ashwin chipped in with a wicket each.
When play stopped, Wyk and Bracewell had put up a resilient 82-run partnership for unbroken seventh wicket.
After tea, Ojha and Zaheer kept Taylor and van Wyk on a tight leash. Ojha bowled three successive maidens before dismissing Taylor who went for the sweep to a tossed up fullish delivery only to be missed and hit on his pad in front of the middle stump.
Once Taylor left the scene, Wyk attacked the Indian bowlers. The stocky batsman played some courageous shots, pulling and cutting Indian bowlers to the fence with elan. Wyk quickly reached to his fifty in 60 balls with seven fours. He had started slowly, scoring 12 runs in 36 balls.
At the other end, Bracewell dropped anchor which infused confidence in Wyk to take on Indian bowlers.
Ashwin, who had bagged 12 wickets in the first Test in Hyderabad, looked out of sorts picking up one wicket of Daniel Flynn. The Chennai tweaker did not trouble New Zealand batsmen throughout the day as he failed to get turn and bounce from the wicket.
Taylor and Flynn played aggressively before tea, dispatching loose deliveries as Indian bowlers struggled to contain the run flow.
Taylor was especially severe on Ashwin and Ojha, and to some extent Zaheer, clobbering them all over the park. In an over, the Kiwi skipper belted four boundaries in Ojha's over and raced to his 17th Test half century which came off 46 balls.
Flynn supported his skipper to put on their first 100 runs partnership of the match. Both stitched a brisk 107 runs partnership in 113 balls taking New Zealand to 196 for three.
There was a setback for New Zealand when the dangerous-looking partnership was broken by Ashwin trapping
Flynn for his individual score of 33 runs which was studded with six boundaries.
After the departure of Flynn, pacer Umesh Yadav and Ashwin tightened the screws and dried the run flow of the Kiwis, which resulted in losing James Franklin cheaply for eight runs.
Ojha picked his third wicket when Suresh Raina manning the midwicket area took a splendid diving catch.
Earlier electing to bat, New Zealand got off to a poor start, losing Brendon McCullum in the second over with the visitors yet to open their account.
After McCullum's exit, Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson played watchfully and managed to accumulate runs against pacers Zaheer and Umesh Yadav.
While Guptill seemed to be in all sorts of trouble negotiating the Indian attack, which extracted some bounce in the first hour, Williamson played with confidence. Guptill got a reprieve on 17 when Virat Kohli in the third slip failed to latch on to an outer edge off Zaheer's bowling. He got lucky once again when he edged the ball that flew right of the diving Virender Sehwag in slips.
After New Zealand crossed 50, Guptill belted three boundaries in an over of Yadav and soon reached his
half-century, carving one to third man fence. He faced 62 balls to get to fifty with eight hits to the fence.
Williamson, meanwhile, failed to sustain and got trapped LBW by Ojha, who had him for the third time in three innings on this tour. Williamson scored 17 runs off 44 balls with the help of two boundaries.
Guptill tried to attack the spinners but ended up giving a simple catch to Gautam Gambhir at midwicket off Ojha. He departed for a brisk 79-ball 53.

(CNSNews.com) - The Environmental Protection Agency recently listed 76 community groups and government agencies that will share almost 2 million taxpayer dollars in the form of "environmental justice grants."
The grants – around $25,000 each -- will fund projects that help people living in poor, minority communities increase recycling, avoid heat stroke, improve indoor air quality, "reduce carbon emissions through weatherization," and participate in "green jobs" training programs.
But beyond the EPA's mission of protecting human health and the environment, the grant money will boost the coffers, and perhaps the influence, of some far-left groups.
The EPA defines "environmental justice" as the notion that minority, low income and indigenous communities deserve the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards, equal access to the decision-making process and a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work as wealthier communities do.
Below are just a few of the 76 groups getting taxpayer money for various "environmental justice" projects.
-- The Connecticut Coalition for Environmental Justice will use some of the grant money to train eight housing authority residents, who will then teach 900 people living in multi-family housing in
-- The West Harlem Environmental Action group will use its environmental justice grant to "identify and address the problems posed by climate change in
-- The Women's Health & Environmental Network in
-- The Little Village Environmental Justice Organization in
-- A grant recipient in
-- A migrant farm workers' group in
-- Lazos America Unida, Inc. of
-- A group called DEPAVE in
Since 1994, the EPA's Environmental Justice Small Grants program has provided more than $21 million in funding to community-based nonprofit organizations and local governments in more than 1,200 communities. The $1.9 million in fiscal 2010 grant funding announced on Oct. 5 is the largest amount awarded for environmental justice grants in more than a decade.
On Oct. 6, one day after the EPA announced the $1.9 million in environmental justice grants, it announced another $1.5 million in grant money to fund "environmental education efforts.
These grants will go to 14 organizations in 11 states and the
This year, some of the grant money went toward helping tribal communities set up leadership programs, letting students step outside the classroom to learn about the environment, and teaching students the importance of water quality, among other projects.

Editorial: Navigate winter safety
Winter's a time of the year when it's been said the weather's often not fit for man nor beast.
What does that mean for pedestrians using walkways? Mayo Clinic Health System in Red Wing has shared the following precautions to help reduce the risk of falling when slippery conditions exist:
--Wear boots or overshoes with grip soles such as rubber and neoprene composite. Slick leather or plastic soles on shoes will definitely increase the risk of slipping.
--When getting out of a vehicle, look down at the surface. If it's coated with ice, consider parking in a different place.
--Use special care when entering or exiting vehicles. Use the vehicle for support. Before standing, get braced with the vehicle door and seat back, which will provide some stability.
--Step--don't jump--from vehicles and equipment.
--Don't walk with hands in pockets. This reduces the ability to use arms for balance in case of slipping.
--Take short shuffling steps in very icy areas.
--Don't carry or swing heavy loads. Large boxes, cases or purses may cause loss of balance when walking.
--When walking, curl toes under and walk as flat-footed as possible.
--Don't step on uneven surfaces. Avoid curbs with ice on them.
--Keep full attention on walking. Digging in a pocketbook or backpack while walking on ice is dangerous.
With the cold days of winter here, a specialist in veterinary emergency and critical care medicine from BluePearl Veterinary Partners in Minnesota offers this advice about pets:
--If suspecting a pet has come into contact with antifreeze, contact a veterinarian immediately. The success of treatment to antifreeze exposure depends on quick action.
--If pets begin to shiver or their ears, tail and feet show signs of frostbite such as redness in the early stages and pale, white or patches in more advanced cases of frostbite, bring them inside immediately.
--Similar to when it's hot outside, never leave a pet alone in a vehicle during cold weather either. In the winter, a vehicle holds in the cold like a refrigerator and a pet could potentially freeze to death.
--Prevent ice and snow from accumulating between a pet's toes, as well as de-icers which can cause a lot of irritation to their paws, plus the potential for them to become ill if they lick these chemicals off their feet, by rinsing and/or wiping those feet when the animals come in from being outdoors. If possible, buy pet-safe salted de-icers for the entryway.
--Especially in the winter, when ice and snow can mask scents and pets can more easily lose their way, it's important they always wear identification tags.
--If a pet is having trouble getting up or laying down, walking the stairs or has started to cry when being picked up, it may be due to arthritis and a visit to the veterinarian is in order. Never medicate a dog or cat with human prescriptions or over-the-counter medications without consulting a veterinarian first. Most of them are toxic for pets; numerous arthritis treatments are available for them.
--A dog or cat deserves a comfortable bed, so check with the pet and feed stores carrying safe heated floor mats or non-electric warm bedding.
--If leaving water outside for pets, be sure it doesn't freeze.
--If an animal is near a vehicle's engine when the car is started, serious injury can occur.
--It can take only a few minutes for a small pet to die inside a sealed garage with a vehicle running.
--Keep pets and people away from ponds, rivers and lakes, where ice covering them may not be solid. Ice may be thicker at the shoreline, but too thin to hold up a pet or person further out. If they do fall in, call for help quickly!

Do spicy foods cause mouth cancer?
This is a very interesting question and one that I get from many of my patients who enjoy a little "bam!" with their meals. I've researched this question on several occasions, and while there are a lot of studies into the role of certain spices and spicy foods with respect to reflux disease (GERD) and the esophagus, there is very little data to suggest that the average consumption of spicy foods can lead to mouth cancer.
In some large population studies, the frequent consumption of spicy foods does come up as a potential risk factor. But rarely is this a single risk factor. Often, these are also the same groups of people who also smoke and drink — known high-risk behaviors for mouth cancer.
The real answer is that we just don't know if there is a clear connection. Part of the problem is that it is hard to standardize what we mean by "spicy food" because this can vary tremendously from person to person and culture to culture.
Recent studies do show that eating a wide variety of foods — including whole grains and green leafy vegetables — and decreasing consumption of fatty foods can all lead to lower incidence of many common types of cancers. Weight loss is extremely beneficial in lowering cancer risk.
So the best advice I can give is to listen to what your mother used to say: Eat right. Eat a lot of vegetables. Don't eat too much. Get plenty of exercise. And don't smoke. Everything in moderation — even the occasional spicy meal.

Here's a collection of highlights, selected totally subjectively, from the recent enterprise HPC news stream as reported at insideHPC.com.
Too busy to keep up? Make your commute productive and subscribe to the Weekly Takeout, insideHPC.com's weekly podcast summary of the HPC news week in review.
Intel's Itanium ecosystem threatened by poor execution on Montvale
Intel has announced details of Montvale, its next Itanium 2 rev, and it's not pretty. You basically get 0.06Ghz speed bump, advanced power management, and a 25% faster frontside bus. The next bump isn't until 2009, when products based upon the four core Itanium (codenamed Tukwila) start shipping.
HP, SGI, Bull and others are in for a long ride if they're going to try and ride their Itanium businesses profitably in the next year. Companies in the Itanium ecosystem are going to have a tough marketing challenge as they compete for new business against Power6 today and 16-core Rock processors from Sun next year.

Cray posts Q2 loss
This isn't enterprise HPC, so briefly:
The grand old man of HPC announced results for Q2 yesterday. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30 was down substantially to $26.6M from $38.5M in the prior year. Net loss was $6.4M.

AMD pays company to say Intel is bad
AMD released a press release today headlined thus:
New Economic Study Finds Intel Extracted Monopoly Profits of $60 Billion Since 1996
You'll recall that the EU has raised questions about Intel's monopoly pricing policies with customers in Europe.
The release is here, but you probably shouldn't read it. Why? If you read the release you'll find that the study was completed by the ERS Group (no problem, they seem to be smart folks) and that AMD paid them for it (bingo)
The ERS Group, an economic and financial consulting firm retained by AMD's outside counsel, O'Melveny & Myers LLP, specializes in analyses for complex business litigation.

PathScale compilers move in at new HPC vendor SiCortex
SiCortex announced on Wednesday that they've acquired the PathScale compiler technology and team from QLogic. The move will certainly stabilize the MIPS side of this well-regarded compiler technology (SiCortex builds machines from MIPS processors), and the company has told customers that the X86-64 side is OK as well.
"The PathScale compiler suite is highly valued by a number of our customers in underpinning their investment in Streamline's Linux Cluster Solutions," says John Taylor, CTO of Streamline Computing. "We welcome the news that this technology is to be developed further in support of X86/64-based architectures, as well as being used by SiCortex for their innovative high-processor-count solution. We look forward to continued interaction with the PathScale compiler team."
SiCortex has engineered its Linux-based supercomputer from the ground up for very lower power and high network throughput, making it of potential high value in the enterprise.

FORTUNE -- Kristin Gilbertson today resigned as chief investment officer of The University of Pennsylvania endowment, Fortune has learned.
A member of the investment office confirmed the departure, saying that Gilbertson had physically left the premises. "We had known for a while," she said. "But it just become official today."
Gilbertson joined UPenn eight years ago, after running public equities for Stanford University's endowment and managing investments for The World Bank.
No word yet on Gilbertson's future plans. She will be replaced on an interim basis by David Harkins, who is the investment office's managing director of public markets.
UPenn's endowment was valued at $6.6 billion at the end of 2011, including an 8.2% allocation to private equity. It reports a 5.4% annualized return for the prior five years, compared to the 2.9% return earned by the S&P 500. It also beat the S&P 500 for 3-year (4% vs. 3.3%) and 10-year (6.8% vs. 2.7%) returns, while falling short on one-year returns (18.6% vs. 30.7%).

Notices by Fiona Hamilton (feehams) tagged instagram
As per suggestion from Ken I have looked into Spivaks #bottlenose social media network. I have recently signed up to use this site, so I have a little bit of hands on experience with it. Bottlenose is a real time social media networking site that is continuously updating its news feed in accordance to what and who you are following. You can keep tabs on your favorite celebrities, politicians, sports and events. All which are updated in (almost) #realtime. Updates can come from a variety of existing social media platforms, including facebook, twitter, and linkedin. The bottlenose system is said to be capable of visualizing live trending topics through people's conversations and types of messages. Therefor could be seen as an incredibly useful tool in marketing. I couldn't get a read on what type of age group this product is being geared towards, but it may be at a disadvantage to not include some other social media sites such as: #instagram, #tumbler and other popular blogging sites, these should be seen as influential to newly tending topics. However I may just not have the hang of the program just yet.Tuesday, 19-Mar-13 16:48:21 MDT from web at 51°4'31"N 114°7'49"W

BAY CITY, Mich. - The Michigan appeals court said the state can't stop people from owning stun guns on Wednesday.
A three-judge panel at the court said the Michigan and U.S. constitutions allow people to bear arms.
The court said a total prohibition on stun guns can't stand.
The decision involved cases from Bay City and Muskegon.
In Bay City, a store employee was carrying a stun gun while he worked behind the counter.
In Muskegon, a stun gun was seized from a man at his home.
A new Michigan law that takes effect in August would allow people to have stun guns if they also have a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
That law was not at issue in the cases at the appeals court.

Cant wait for Monday!
Just got shipping confirmation that my new CZ 75 BD is on its way to my FFL! I've been wanting one of these for a while. This will be my first DA/SA trigger system. I have a G19 and I'm excited to add some diversity to my collection!
Good luck to you. :)
The trigger might take a bit of getting used to but you will learn to love it. Does it have second strike capabilities?
You're going to love the CZ. I got my CZ 75B a couple months ago and it has become my favorite pistol to shoot!
Great gun.
CZs have a funny way of making shooters look pretty great at the range, and making converts of anyone those shooters share their pistol with.
What's not to like about a CZ 75? Well, they're a little heavy and they eject brass in a very assertive fashion...so be sure to take note of where your brass is ending up. You don't want to spend an hour pummeling the guy five lanes to your right...and believe me, it can happen. Mine seems to eject about 15ft, to 4:00. I could probably make some adjustements, but that's part of its charm.
We'll want pics, including of the smile u won't be able to wipe from your face, and a range report please!
Finest pistol I have ever owned…..or shot for that matter…..I have shot most of the noteworthy offering out there
Thanks everyone! Looks like I won't be able to pick it up until Tuesday or even Thursday. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas! I know it's gonna be an amazing gun. What are some simple upgrades that only improve on a great gun?

Beautiful mirror. Packaged & shipped awesome. Thanks
Meg G on Dec 29, 2013
Great little mirror! Shipped quick & packaging was great! Thanks
Steph Wolf on Dec 7, 2013
Another small jewel that packs a lot of attitude.

Excellent. The mirror is beautiful and the service (sales, shipping, communication) were fantastic.
Hand-Silvered & Verre Églomisé Mirrors
We pass by mirrors everyday often forgetting that they were once one of humanity's most coveted and mysterious objects.
As a mirror-maker, I aim to recapture the lost history of mirrors as personally transformative and materially rare.
The science of hand-silvering was invented in 1835 as a welcome alternative to beautiful-but-toxic mercury-tin amalgam mirrors. Hand-silvering had a relatively short heyday. It was replaced in the 1900's with spray aluminum factory mirrors. Verre églomisé is an ancient tradition of reverse gilding glass.
I am always inventing new techniques for silvering. I am particularly inspired by the beauty and elusive depth of antique mercury mirrors.
I hand make my frames, they are joined with wooden splines, finely sanded for seamless miters and hand-finished. I finish my frames using paints, stains, caseins, metal mediums and traditional water gilding.

Lowell Kempf(Gnomekin)United States
In less than one week, my fiancé and I will be going to GenCon. While it will be the thirteenth time I have gone, it will be her first time. That said, she is a gamer (just not as crazed a one as I am) and is looking forward to taking some of the craft seminars.
When I first started going to GenCon, I was a RPGer and I went for role playing. Indeed, on my first GenCon, I stumbled upon a group of Chicago gamers who became my longest running D&D group, a bunch of guys I am still playing with to this day.
However, when I started board gaming, GenCon got quite a boost for me. While one sitting one sessions don't highlight most RPGs strengths, that is the definition of most board games. Suddenly, the quality of my gaming experiences went up. More than that, I found board gamers at conventions to be more laid back and easier to have fun with. On top of that, instead of buying RPG books I never used, I was buying board games that did end up hitting the table.
As the years have gone by, I have found myself spending less time with strangers and more time playing with people I already know. Old friends who live in different cities and states, GenCon can be one of the few times I get to see them in the year.
Because of that, I always bring a bag of games with me to play with old friends. Of course, since space is limited, I try to pick a handful of games that stand a chance at hitting the table multiple times, are fun and won't take up too much time since the convention is full of so many other activities.
So, games that have I have played at a variety of different tables that have a proven track record.
In the end, these are the games that will probably end up in the bag:
Take It Easy as a filler. I have yet to find anyone who doesn't like this game. It is the ultimate multi-player solitaire and it is completely without any theme and yet people are always ready for another round.
Maori. Another game that's low on conflict, although you can still squeeze some in. This little tile laying game is simple and yet… It offers a variety of choices and it offers a variety of ways for people to try and win. And, again, it has a been a hit whenever I've shown it to people.
Witch's Brew. On the other hand, Witch's Brew is full of conflict. I have tried and tried to like Citadels. I have played it with different groups and every time, the game drags on for at least two hours and people are bored and desperate for it to end. Witch's Brew, on the other hand, moves a lot faster with a lot more vicious interaction. Definitely one I want to play more of.
Plus, an out-of-state friend asked me to bring 7 Wonders. I have to admit, I haven't gotten enough reps of 7 Wonders in yet to know what I really think of it. Maybe GenCon will be the place where I get those plays in and decide if I want to invest in any expansions for it.
I'm sure that there will be other small games that make it into the bag, like Category 5 or R-Eco. (Possibly Rattus, since my science-loving fiancé loves to destroy Europe with the plague) However, the games listed above are the ones that are going to get crammed into the bag first.

Pikes push for regional meet
The Penticton Pikes swim team has completed two weeks of hard training as they head to regionals in Kelowna this weekend.
"I was kicking their butt there for a while," said Pikes coach Cole Midtdal, who began the training descent this week with a focus on technique and sprints.
Midtdal, who swims for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns, admitted some of his swimmers complained a bit as he pushed them in a way that he wouldn't be able to handle right now.
"Kudos to them, it was really hard," he said. "They stuck with it and didn't give up."
During training, Midtdal pushed harder to ensure the swimmers have extra strength for the end. He wanted to push them beyond what they are going to have to be prepared for.
"When it comes to the race, they are going to have that energy," he said. "I think we're actually going to do pretty well. I think we're turning out to be pretty competitive."
Provincials are taking place in Kamloops Aug. 15-17.

HOUSTON - Two armed men pretended to be police officers when they robbed a couple at a southwest Harris County home on Tuesday, and investigators said two young children witnessed it all.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said the attack happened in the 13700 block of River Kegg, in the Kingspoint subdivision, about 6 a.m.
The woman who lives in the home said she had just walked out of the house with her two young children to take them to school when the men rushed up to them and told them to go back inside.
The robbers tied up the woman and her husband with plastic tie wraps, ransacked the home and stole property and cash, investigators said. The husband was hit a few times, officials said.
The woman said the children, ages 4 and 6, cried during the attack, but the men did not hurt them.
Investigators said the attack lasted nearly four hours.
The robbers were described as black, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and wearing dark-colored clothing, baseball caps and badges around their necks. "Security" was written on one of the shirts, officials said.
The men left in either an Acura or a Honda Civic.
Deputies said the house has security cameras, so they are reviewing the videos to try to identify the men.
Investigators have not said if the couple was targeted or if it was a random attack. The husband runs a business buying and selling cars.
Detectives said they don't know of any similar robberies in the area.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Success of the Production VS. Credit for My Piece
"Cressida has smoothed everything over in the creative department with her gesture. Praised Fulvia for what is, in fact, a really good idea, and cleared the way to continue her own on-air depiction of the Mockingjay. What's interesting is that Plutarch seems to have no need to share in the credit. All he wants is for the Airtime Assault to work. I remember that Plutarch is a Head Gamemaker, not a member of the crew. Not a piece in the Games. Therefore, his worth is not defined by a single element, but by the overall success of the production." -Mockingjay, Suzanne Collins
Plutarch Heavensbee, strategic planner extraordinaire! I like getting big ideas from dystopian children's novels. But seriously, this was about the deepest thing I've come across in the Hunger Games books. I love this idea. It can apply to everything from how you work, to how you see your role in life and all the way to how you manage your money.
Even though getting out of debt gets you caught up in the details, it's even more challenging to move on from the details and visualize your bigger picture. For a while, you have to focus on the little stuff because that IS a part of changing the patterns and attitudes that got you into debt in the first place. But it's not about being petty, it's about building good automatic habits so that you don't have to focus solely on details. Every now and then you can ask yourself, "What would Plutarch Heavensbee do? Am I still winning the game or am I just fighting to take home scraps (or not get killed in the arena)?"
I'd like to think I'm moving towards pulling the whole production off as a big success and not as worried about getting credit for my every move. But I know I get caught up in wanting credit for lots of things I do and feel like I'm spending way too much time on petty stuff. If I can remember I'm doing that, if I realize just how narrow my focus is, I can usually take a step back and reassess the situation.
What's the goal of YOUR production? It definitely doesn't need to be money-related (although money might help you get there!)
12 Responses to Success of the Production VS. Credit for My Piece
I haven't read the hunger games, so I'm not quite sure exactly what you're talking about, but I think the point you mention is a huge reason why people go back into debt after climbing out. For many people, they can't think past the goal, or don't know what to do once there. If they're not paying off debt, they are back accumulating it because it's the only way they know how to live. It's that bigger picture that you talk of that most people just don't know, and that's a huge problem.
Hunger Games! Is it blasphemy to admit that I haven't seen the movie yet?
I think we let ourselves get caught up in all the little things- not just wanting credit for the baby steps, but also feeling overly set back when we make a mistake. I think it's very important to keep the big picture in mind so that you can see the overall progress you've made and take credit for that.
Is it bad that I don't even know what the hunger games are? I think I need to work less… I guess I"m with Well Heeled Blog, but slightly worse…
But re: credit, I used to self promote in the office quite a bit (still do too much, but I'm getting better). Then I switched to over-crediting others with big successes and it's amazing how much MORE credit I got from "those whose credit matters" after that.
The only people on the planet who have not seen Hunger Games or read the books commented on your post. Amazing. That includes me, too. I think remembering not being indebted is a way of life. Embrace it.
@Nick @Wellheeled @DrDean: Haha! You guys make me laugh. I only read all three books in the last month, I wanted to see what the fuss was about and it had been a while since I read any fiction. They were quick reads. Fun if you want a watered-down version of 1984 and any other dystopian novel (Year of the Flood, anyone?)
Ha! I have seen the movie and am on the second book – from where this quote is, I am guessing. I am not convinced that this is a children's book though – or it is one of the very smart ones in which both children and grown ups can find meaning. Then again it may be only me – only people who have lived through totalitarian regimes can understand the Hunger Games existentially.
As to the production – absolutely vital. I managed to formulate my production (not saying what it is though) and by doing this I stopped wanting credit for little things. Having an idea of the whole production keeps you so focused!
My last boss in the TV news industry was one of the people who insisted on taking credit for every single little thing that happened, even when he had no role in it. Yet, he refused to take any culpability in the overall broadcast when things didn't go well. IT's kind of the inverse of what you outlined here, but your question reminded me of his behavior nonetheless.
@Elizabeth: We see people who act like that all the time don't we?? I always wonder if it's impossible for them to see anything they do as wrong. To quote 50…"You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house
And if you got a glass jaw, you should watch your mouth" Not sure if that's totally relevant but I've been needing to quote a rapper all day 🙂
I rarely take credit for things. When I played sports, everything I did was for the betterment of the team. Even if I scored 3 goals or drove in the winning run, I couldn't have done it without the help of my teammates.

Smith Memorial Student Union, room 294, 1825 SW Broadway
Hamou Amirouche discusses his recently published memoirs, entitled Akfadou: Un An Avec le Colonel Amirouche, and his career as a freedom fighter for Algerian independence from France (1954-62). The book is an indictment of the French occupation of Algeria and the injustices of colonial rule, as they were experienced by a young man who became a mujaheed at the age of 18. But Amirouche's book is also an indictment of those who subsequently confiscated the Revolution to lead a corrupt and undemocratic Algerian state. It provides an important rethinking of Algeria's ongoing political violence--an Islamist-led revolt begun in 1992, or the 'new Algerian war.' The book's nuanced and frank commentary has prompted a sharp debate in Algeria and beyond on the legacies of the Revolution.
Lindsay Benstead, Portland State University Assistant Professor of Political Science, and Nabil Boudraa, Oregon State University Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies, will join Amirouche to share their thoughts on contemporary Algerian politics.
Amirouche has been a visiting professor at California State University, San Marcos; Mesa College; and Foundation College; a visiting scholar at Harvard University; and an official in the Algerian Government. In addition to his memoirs, he is the author of numerous articles and op-eds.

Can Exercise Prevent Severe Stroke?
Latest Exercise & Fitness News
Active People Have Milder Strokes Than Couch Potatoes, Study Shows
Kelley Colihan
Reviewed By Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC
Oct. 20, 2008 -- The benefits of keeping active may be growing. A new international study looks at whether exercise reduces the severity of strokes.
The study looks at whether how much someone exercised before having a stroke had an impact on how severe the stroke was, and whether being active affected a person's long-term outcome.
The study was co-authored by Lars-Henrik Krarup, MD, with the Bispebjerg University Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark, and analyzed data on 265 patients who had a first-time ischemic stroke (when an artery to the brain is blocked).
The average age of the stroke survivors was 68. Participants lived in China, Estonia, Poland, and Denmark and were able to walk on their own. Forty-four percent of the participants were women.
Researchers looked at how severe each person's stroke was and what the long-term outcome was. Respondents were also gauged on how much exercise and what kind of exercise they did prior to their stroke. They were asked questions about their typical physical activity during a weeklong period, such as light housework, taking walks, or working outside of the home.
The respondents were followed for two years, with four follow-up visits the first year and two follow-up visits the second year.
Researchers discovered that people who exercised the most prior to their stroke were 2 1/2 times more likely to have a milder stroke when compared to those who exercised the least. And participants who put in the most active hours were also twice as likely to experience a better long-term outcome.
In a news release, Krarup says that "exercise is one possible risk factor for stroke that can be controlled. Staying fit doesn't have to be a scheduled regimen. For the people in this study, exercise included light housework, taking a walk outside, lawn care, gardening, or participating in a sport."
The study authors note that their results help cement previous research showing that increased physical activity is associated with having milder strokes.
The findings are published in the Oct. 21 edition of the journal Neurology.

BASINGSTOKE Town moved to within five points of the Conference South play-off places with an impressive victory at Paddy Power Park last night.
Manny Williams' brace and David Ray's header secured maximum points for the visitors, who moved up a place to ninth with an important win over their north Hampshire rivals.
The game was perhaps closer than the final scoreline suggests, with Farnborough missing two guilt-edged chances over the course of the 90 minutes. However, Town also went close to adding more goals, Andrew Jenkinson and Jay Gasson both hitting the crossbar.
With Wes Daly, Shaun McAuley and Neil Barrett all out injured, Basingstoke manager Jason Bristow was forced to field young duo Simon Dunn and Jenkinson in the centre of midfield.
It was a brave move, and he must have been tempted to field either David Ray or Robbie Rice as a holding midfielder, but Dunn and Jenkinson did an excellent job, playing a big part in the visitors' success.
Town got off to the perfect start, taking the lead with their first attack after just three minutes. An excellent touch from Nathan Smart, playing on the right wing, had Williams free in the area and he made no mistake, slotting low past Kevin Scriven to open the scoring.
Farnborough looked to hit back, with Phil Page seeing his low shot deflected wide, while Luis Morrison-Derbyshire headed too close to Louis Wells in the Town goal from a corner.
However, they should have levelled on 27 minutes. A neat one-two between Jamal Lowe and Daniel Bennett resulted in Lowe firing in a low shot that Wells was only able to parry, but Page was only able to flick the rebound wide when he seemed certain to score.
Town were inches away from doubling the lead when Jenkinson's shot from 30 yards smacked against the crossbar, but they did add a second goal on 38 minutes.
A free-kick from halfway was inadvertently flicked on by a home defender and Ray found himself unmarked in the six-yard box, heading low past Skriven.
Basingstoke made a change at the break, with Kezie Ibe replacing the ineffective Jordace Holder-Spooner, and the substitute immediately caused problems with his pace and direct running.
He got into several good positions but was unable to make the most of them, with either his pass or shot going astray.
With Farnborough throwing men forward, Town looked threatening on the break. Jenkinson played in Williams, but Skriven was off his line quickly to make an important clearance.
The home goalkeeper was called into action again just after the hour, showing great reactions to push Gasson's header over the bar, while the Town defender went even closer from the next corner.
Skriven made the save from Smart's low shot, with Gasson's follow-up crashing against the crossbar and away to safety.
Farnborough managed to rally and nearly pulled a goal back. Wells kept out Lowe's angled effort but was unable to hold on to the ball. Again, it looked like a tap-in, this time for substitute Connor French, but the ball got caught under his feet with the goal gaping.
The visitors made the game safe with 10 minutes to go. Adam Green's strong run into the area ended with him being brought down by Josh Huggins and Williams stepped up to find the bottom corner from the penalty spot.
Both sides had chances in the closing stages, but Bennett fired wide for the hosts, while Scriven did well to deny Smart at his near post.

TAMPA — A temporary letter carrier pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to dumping bags of mail along a wooded area in Land O'Lakes.
Andrew Allen Rimes, 22, of 9150 Park Richey Blvd., Port Richey, also admitted removing valuable items, including prescription medications, and hiding some parcels in a shed.
Rimes is in federal custody and faces a maximum of five years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced May 15.
A McDonald's employee, Rimes worked as a temporary relief carrier for the Postal Service. Prosecutors said while on a route in August 2006, he was scheduled to deliver almost 2,000 pieces of mail but delivered none of it.
According to court records, he rifled through some of it to remove items of value, dumped some in a wooded area along 20 Mile Level Road in Land O'Lakes, then hid the rest in a shed.
Rimes' case is the latest in a string of local letter carriers being prosecuted for tampering with and stealing mail along their routes.
Last month, former Postal Service employee Amanda Turner, 27, was sentenced to three years' probation for stealing gift cards from mail along her route in Spring Hill.
