"After experience is done teaching us just about everything it thinks it needs to teach us, we come back to desire, the one thing worth knowing. This time around desire shows up as a wild calm, dead center of whatever picture in which we find ourselves. These marvelous, subtle poems go deep, deep, deep into that wild calm. So subtle, so moving! I don't believe anyone but Cynthia Huntington could have written them."
— David Rivard
"Difficult as it is to describe honestly the spectacle of living, to describe death and dying is to go almost where language can't: past knowledge, experience, or the reliable image. Yet what An Elegy achieves, through its own assured music, is this very contradiction: to go 'in places where you never were,' to honor the dead as well as to reimagine them, knowing that grief is as much the mind's 'calculus of human work' as it is the heart's. Here are words worth their urgency."
— Rickey Laurentiis, Boy with Thorns, winner 2016 Levis Reading Prize
Winner 2016 Jacar Press Full-length Contest
"A Dog's Life is a delightful romp through Americana by way of 'real' America with sly, politically engaged poems. Though this poet issues a rallying cry against 'siren songs of entertainment,' his poems are completely entertaining but, at the same time, completely wise. He takes on true love, extinction, our fragile environment, war, technology, porn, aging and our fight against it, cancer, nursing homes, and death. A Dog's Life is an enlightened look at Doritos, Carson Daly, Walmart, McDonalds, theme parks, and, of course, dogs."
— Denise Duhamel
"The real singers – whether lamenting or praising – give us a sense of life as larger than we could have expressed before they arrived. With an explorer's curiosity and drive, Adam Scheffler turns his poems into a treasury. He speaks of the value and wonder in small and large things, and like a dog (the dog he'd have us believe his soul is), meets the world with undisguised exuberance. These poems are spiritual in the way poetry is best suited to be: they articulate our good fortune to be alive."
— Bob Hicok
"Raising the Sky is unpretentious, attempts no lofty poetic experiments with heavy themes but rather surges with philosophy caked on the sneaker bottoms of young slickster/trickster wannabes, and top-shelf gold standard prose shuffled across army fatigue blankets. Howard Craft allows the reader to perceive the moments, landscapes, and particulars of his own brand of Southern urbanism. He takes us there. Place. Physicality. His poetry becomes the hushed drum carrying the meter of persistence, racial identity, and invocations of the immensity… in which the unavoidable are saddled hip to hip to joy and revelation.
These poems remind us that our ancestors continue to whisper in our ears, remind us that we are at the helm steering ourselves, on our own terms, through yet another Middle Passage."
— Jaki Shelton Green
"Threshing Floor is a serious book of poems in series. These retellings of the Biblical Naomi are compelling and soulful."
— Denise Duhamel
"Threshing Floor tells the story of three women, their vulnerability and displacement; it will grip and hold women. But, please God, may the book also be read by men—lots of men—because these poems are models of empathy in a world that sorely needs it."
— Jeanne Murray Walker, author of Helping the Morning: New and Selected Poems
"Margaret Rabb's career in poetry was a romance with words…This descendant of Confederates, this servant of transvestites, cloud- chronicler, bibliophile, Anglican and Romantic, knew that the distance between the searcher and the bookshelf was intercontinental and yet intimate, that the time it took to find the special poem, the one addressed to the reader (and written by that same reader), was a lifetime and yet an instant."
— David Rigsbee, author of School of the Americas, Not Alone in My Dancing: Essays and Reviews, and The Red Tower: New and Selected Poems.
"One of the Ten Best Poetry Books of 2016″*
Proceeds go to a scholarship fund for African American youth,
administered by the Urban League in Washington, D.C.
"Police killings of citizens of color are becoming an American past time way past its prime. But one thing we can depend on in this hour of chaos, confusion, clarity, outrage and sorrow: America's media will certainly be there to insinuate itself, however crudely, however clumsily and rudely, into the sickness of the American psyche.
No need for me to further enumerate the endless trail of police violations, brutalities, killings. I'll let the poets sing their names. I'll let the Tradition say, Amen! For the great and socially committed poets assembled herein have been engaged in call and response; bearing witness to the maladies of a nation whose so-called founding begins with brutality and policing; begins with genocide, confiscation and death in the name of profit, greed and expansion.
The poet-witnesses in this collection distill the horror and let in the light of our common humanity. They remind us of a universal hurt, grief, anger, rage, shame and love that we all can recall when confronting the blunt reality and the savagery of abuses associated with corrupted power, indifference and intolerance.
This is not a catalogue of death and despair. This is a work of resistance and resilience. These poets sing songs of love, which is what this book is, essentially.
— Tony Medina

*Beltway Poetry Journal
"The poems in Creeks of the Upper South rely on call and response—both within individual poems and from poem to poem—which seems fitting, given the collaborative nature of the collection. At times, the voices and personal narratives are alive and burgeoning, and at the same time fragile. Other times, primal and colloquial language fuses into a lexicon of ecological anxieties and understandings. This collection calls us to take off our boots, roll up our britches, and follow the creeks and voices meandering and forking through these poems. We can't help but respond."
— Adam Vines
"Creeks of the Upper South is collaborative poetry at flood-surge. It is a braided stream, the skitter-flight of water fowl, a storm event of vowels, childhood as rocky shoals, cut-bank in language's flow. Amy Wright and William Wright walk back the postmodern idea that word and place, signifier and signified, can't roil the same deep channel."
— John Lane
This book is being published collaboratively with Unicorn Press.
Winner of the 2015 Jacar Press Poetry Book Prize
In After the Three Moon Era, Gary Fincke keeps returning to the missing, the vanished, the disappeared. The speaker of his sharply-etched poems is a man in late middle age, caught between a grandchild who whirls unafraid on an open staircase and a disheartened father of ninety who asks, "What's next?" Fincke brings a penetrating gaze and an elegiac tenderness to the telling "news items" he discovers in a world haunted by intimations of mortality.
— Chana Bloch, author of Swimming in the Rain, New & Selected Poems, 1980-2015
Gary Fincke's sweeping After the Three Moon Era is a razor-edged investigation of our modern reality: its wars and chemical plants, its familial aches and obligations, its daily reminders of mortality's inescapable pull. These poems see clear-eyed into the darkness, but maintain an abiding wonder at the mysteries (the earth's once-upon-a-time three moons; sinkholes' habit of appearing on Thursdays) that grace our mundane lives so that they, like these poems, quietly glow. Incisive, empathetic, and arresting, this is an absolute knockout of a book.
— Catherine Pierce, author of The Girls of Peculiar and Famous Last Words
Lola Haskins, How Small, Confronting Morning.
W.S. Merwin believes "Haskins writes with the startling freedom and grace of a kite flying, and with the variety and assurance of invention that reveal, in image after image, the dream behind the waking world." In this, her 14th collection, she focuses on the natural world of inland Florida, writing poems "close to plein air" experiences. The winner of 2 NEA Fellowships, as well as 4 Florida Cultural Affairs fellowships, "Haskins latest collection is as beguiling as the Florida creeks, tupelo trees and wading birds that grace its pages." Cynthia Barnett. Publication date January, 2016.
Julie Suk, Astonished to Wake.
"The poetry of Julie Suk is at once deceptively spare and metaphorically rich, and the sensual mystery of her perfectly pitched and etched lines is haunting, elemental, and wild," says R. T. Smith. In her 6th collection, Suk continues to write poems that are deeply sensuous and unflinching. Her awards include the University of Arkansas Poetry Competition, the Roanoke-Chowan Award, the Brockman-Campbell Award, the Bess Hokin Prize from Poetry magazine. She is a former managing editor of Southern Poetry Review. Publication date January, 2016.
Intimacy is a state of closeness that transcends explanation. It is a feeling of being at home emotionally and physically, a biological need so severe that when we don't have intimacy with those who are most significant in our lives, the effects can be devastating. When we do find intimacy, it can be transcendent.
This collection brings together poems that explore intimacy between lovers, friends, parents and children, people and their pets, humans and the environment, and more. Work by dozens of writers including Chana Bloch, Maxine Chernoff, Toi Derricote, John Balaban, Thylias Moss, Leanne O'Sullivan, Richard Jackson, Kathryn Stripilng Byer, Jaki Shelton Green and over 70 more poets.
"The philosophy and emotional pulse moving behind the words—that and the flawless lineation of the music—just wouldn't let me go."
— Jamaal May, Hum (Alice James Books) American Library Association Notable Book Award
"Kelly Michels' collection takes us to an amazing elsewhere that is both palpable and magical, incantatory, tragic, and beautiful. Beneath the swirl of linked images and the muscular movement and music of the language, throb the stories these poems undertake, not confessional, not pain style, not complaint, not even recounted but instead revealed in a voice with its own clarity and the logic of metaphor holding, even as the real becomes surreal. The images catch the light as they turn together in unlikely yet nearly perfect partnership.
The journey taken here is harrowing, perilous, darkly graceful, and bears truths beyond boundaries. I would follow these designs on the world, these honed knives, these desperate memories anywhere. The journey ends with Tonight in D minor, and I raise my head from these poems with Mystery ringing in my ears. These phrases occur to me: dazzlingly original, deft and wildly successful gamble. Let's just say that Disquiet is a truly remarkable gathering by a very gifted new poet."
— Betty Adcock
"There's a clean, lively language at work here, full of fine words clearly relished, while those poems lodged in Irish landscapes, both physical and literary, shine with the virtue of authenticity: they see, feel and communicate what's actually there, what's been experienced with sharp eye, responsive ear, imaginative understanding. Powered by such energies, Staying Blue stays satisfyingly alive from start to finish."
— Eamon Grennan
"Gibbons Ruark is a yea-sayer. Here is poetry to give us heart, full of serious praise for life and humankind, in language strong and beautiful. It seems a lovely irony in a time when Irish poetry is thriving that Ruark, with his roots in North Carolina, should stand so high among those contemporary poets who can write of Ireland with the most sympathy and understanding."
— X. J. Kennedy on Rescue the Perishing
"The Vishnu Bird is both a memorial and a memoir in lyric poetry. This clean-spoken, deeply-felt chapbook remembers the poet's dear friend by tracing his vocation of anthropology, and honoring his spiritual depth, through vignettes from the speaker's own past. Yet if this is a collection of last things, and past things, it also imagines next things.
The Vishnu Bird is above all a book of making—fabrics and lyrics, images and memories—whose textures are richly humane. Kathryn Stripling Byer's elegiac articulations become, like all true poetry, 'the hoop / in which we cast our stories' in order to 'hold [us] fast.'"
— David Baker
"Rich in detail and attentive in focus, Kevin Boyle's poems rock back and forth between tenderness and irony. In language both fluent and metrical, they explore what it's like to be alive and awake in today's shifting cultural environment. Leavened with a fine wit and possessed of a restrained compassion for the male self coming to terms with the layers of his life, these are the sturdy poems of a grown man."
— Dorianne Laux, author of The Book of Men
"Kevin Boyle's poems come at you from a variety of angles: fatherhood, childhood, man in the street. Memories of a Philadelphia neighborhood, a boy with his paper route trying to collect, ice on the Delaware River. These are the poems of an America that's changing and they cover a long arc of time, diverse in method, restless, inventive. They are not without their dark moments, but Boyle's generosity and humor keep shining through the lines."
— Joseph Millar, author of Blue Rust
"If you have any doubt that Debra Kaufman is one of our best contemporary American poets, then read this collection."
— Kathryn Stripling Byer, Descent, Coming to Rest, Catching Light and 3 others from LSU Press
"Which universe does Debra Kaufman inhabit? The "dark, indifferent" one or the one in which "The white pine waves/like a kind neighbor"? Perhaps her universe changes with time and she records these changes in her graceful, thorn-sharp lyrics. What happens around her also happens within her and what she remembers she makes memorable. Perhaps she embraces what her friend once said, "If you listen closely … you can hear things." Passionate in its angers as well as in its affections and as closely tuned as a clavier, Delicate Thefts is a trove of classy gifts."
— Fred Chappel, author of Familiars, Shadow Box: Poems and over a dozen other collections from LSU Press.
"Catherine Carter's poems wrestle with contemporary human dilemmas: identity, aging, nostalgia, desire, as well as our place in the natural world. I'm drawn to her diction, spiky and sharp, grounded in the imagery of experience."
— Joseph Millar, author of three books, including Blue Rust (Carnegie Mellon University Press), recipient of Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts fellowships.
"Stephen Spender once described poetry as 'enchanted utterance.' Few contemporary poets write poems that come as close to Spender's definition as Catherine Carter. Call it enchantment or call it witchery, the poetry in Carter's Marks of the Witch creates through its incantatory rhythms and startling imagery a voice that reveals nothing less than the mystery residing in even the most ordinary detail of our daily lives."
— Kathryn Stripling Byer, author of six books of poetry
including Descent (LSU Press), winner of the SIBA Award
and the NC Poetry Award
"What I love about these poems is how they manage to be so eloquent without being pretentious. I'm also drawn to the way Maginnes juxtaposes fire and its quick losses with fire's complement, slow vanishing. Not all the poems in this collection directly address either of those ideas — Maginnes is too smart for that — but I finished these pages thinking it was change that infuses the finest of them and that Maginnes, like so many of us, has striven to accept what is, even when it's transition, and through that acceptance find peace. I admire that, and this book."
— Lola Haskins, The Grace to Leave, Still the Mountain, Desire Lines, New and Selected Poems
"Rooted in hypnagogic logic and deeply seated in the tradition of Jayne Cortez, Quincy Troupe and Ntozake Shange, Jaki Shelton Green's verse narratives pay homage to the orphic ethos of the mythmaking South with all the viscous verve of Van Gogh with a palette of syllables, images and words blurring through our senses like the thick, sleek wax of magnolia leaves. Her images conjure cultural beauty from a world-weary—yet ecstatic—kaleidoscopic lens while sustaining a pained relevance that serves up love from every angle of human anguish: the forced marriage of a child bride; memories of grandmothers and mentors, praiseworthy and proud. In Feeding the Light, Jaki Shelton Green captivates with a global vision. Her poems are totems and tomes; they are percussive, convulsive and constructive."
—Tony Medina, author of Broke Baroque, The President Looks Like Me & Other Poems, and An Onion of Wars.
An intimate, tender and lyrical chapbook that looks back at a childhood, where friendship, family, and slavery intersect. These poems ponder the conflicted emotions, from joy to sorrow, that come from meditating on one's legacy.
Shelby Stephenson's Family Matters: Homage to July, the Slave Girl won the 2008 Bellday Poetry Prize, and the 2009 Oscar Arnold Young Award from the Poetry Council of North Carolina.
Winner of the Jacar Press 2013 Full Length Book Contest
These sly, beautifully crafted poems inhabit and haunt the heart-land. Sandy Longhorn is a poet with the gifts of observation and imagination. An original voice with a knack for telling tales.
— Stuart Dischell, Backward Days, Dig Safe, Evenings & Avenues, Good Hope Road (Viking Press)
The Girlhood Book of Prairie Myths is a stunning collection of poems. With her gift for startling images and precise music, Sandy Longhorn converts the normally peaceful vision of the prairie into a place that perpetually threatens to turn innocence into a cautionary tale. In these poems, young girls discover haunting consequences for "refusing to mind." Disobedience transforms girls through underground language or the bright forgetfulness of poppies. In this landscape formed by elegy and glaciers, everything worshiped is dead or wounded, yet Longhorn's imagination and lyricism resurrects these myths so you can "taste the light his body had foretold."
— Traci Brimhall, Our Lady of the Ruins (W.W. Norton), selected by Carolyn Forché for the 2011 Barnard Women Poets Prize

This is a posting of a bibliography on gesture user interfaces, on-line character recognition (a.k.a. dynamic character recognition, a.k.a. pen computing), and related topics, including both hardware and software. It has been a continuing work-in-progress since 1987. I am posting it as a service to those with interest in the field. It may also be of special interest to anyone investigating any the areas of digitizer tablets, touchscreens, character recognition, tablet-PC GUIs, and multi-touch computing (such as the iPhone and Touch iPod), capacitive touch and proximity sensors, and context-dependent intrepretation of user input. It covers the time period from approximately 1891 (first electronic tablet) through 1914 (first handwriting-recognition/gesture input system) to the present day.
The bibliography is broken up into multiple sections by date of publication, for convenience in printing:
|1891 to 1970
|1971 to 1975
|1976 to 1980
|1981 to 1983
|1984 to 1985
|1985 to 1986
|1987 to 1988
|1989 to 1990
|1991 to 1993

When was Pen Computing invented?
Check this out:
In 1992, back in the early days (well, much earlier than now) of pen and touchscreen computing,
I gave a presentation at the Boston Computer Society
entitled Notes on the "unknown" history of Pen Computing.
Dan Bricklin has posted a video of the presentation on youtube.com:

Calcutta: After more than one high-voltage spat with Team India captain Sourav Ganguly, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has become wiser.
Indeed, the ambiguity over nailing a captain for his teams slow over rate is going to disappear in just over a month.
According to The Telegraphs sources in Dubai, where the ICC is now headquartered, the amended Code of Conduct ' which becomes operational from October 1 ' has a captain-specific provision.
The new clause (2.12, under Level 2 offences) reads: Failure by a captain to ensure that his team meets the minimum over rate requirements as contained in section J to the extent as set out in paragraph 5C III thereof.
Section J deals with minimum over rates, while para 5C III there talks of a Level 2 breach if the overs short exceeds five in Tests and two in ODIs.
Thus far, captains have been getting hauled up under the general against the spirit of the game' Code of Conduct clause.
A first-time breach gets treated as a Level 2 offence, inviting a fine and/or a maximum ban of one Test or two ODIs. A repeat, within 12 months, leads to a Level 3 upgrading.
The Level 3 (minimum ban of two Tests or four ODIs) and 4 (maximum of a life ban) offences attract the harshest penalties.
Sourav, it may be recalled, successfully challenged Clive Lloyds two-Test ban last November ' it was overturned by Appeals Commissioner Tim Castle.
Then, a month ago, arbiter Justice Albie Sachs reduced a six-ODI ban (imposed by Chris Broad in April) by one-third.
Both times, the Match Referee nailed Sourav for Team India being behind on the over rate.
If Sourav gets hauled up for a similar breach, after October 1, he wont be able to question its tenability under the Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct ' incidentally, introduced in rather simple form way back in 1991-92 ' has been amended in other areas, too:
• The existing 2.4 (Level 2) offence ' Public criticism of, or inappropriate comment on a match related incident or match official ' has been incorporated under Level 1 (1.7).
• The existing 2.4 has been replaced by: Serious public criticism of, or inappropriate comment on a match related incident or match official.
• Those booked for a Level 2 breach can also appeal. Till September 30, though, only those held guilty under Level 3 and 4 have the option of seeking redress.
Expanding the provision for appeal is bound to be applauded without reservation.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
You may have heard that Steve Cooksey of Diabetes-Warrior.net received a letter back in January from the North Carolina Board of Dietetics and Nutritionists explaining to him that he and his website were being investigated. What was Steve doing wrong, you ask? Well, Steve was sharing his story with his readers and suggesting that they might benefit from following a similar path. And he was doing it without a license! You can read all about it here.
Apparently, Steve sharing advice about diet – whether he offered it for free or charged for it – was a crime and they could take a him to court over it. After he made some changes to his website Steve was told he was in "substantial compliance" with North Carolina law and they closed the investigation. You can read more about that here.
While the North Carolina Board appears to be finished, Steve isn't. Steve is launching a major battle for Internet freedom and free speech that could impact the millions of people that share advice online everyday, in places like blogs, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. He's joined the Institute for Justice in filing a lawsuit that challenges the government's authority to censor ordinary advice and, as a memo I received from the Institute of Justice states, "seeks to answer one of the most important unresolved questions in First Amendment law: When does the government's power to license occupations trump free speech?"
I helped Steve get started on his journey a few years ago and was proud of not only his progress, but the track he took in helping people, so it was astounding to hear that he could get shut down for offering his opinion about which foods to buy at the grocery store. Check out the Institute of Justice's YouTube video (above), case launch page, and case backgrounder page. Needless to say, this is an important case, and one I will be following closely.

I read a lot of mean stuff about Steve and how he's just capitalizing on the investigation for the publicity. I don't know Steve personally but I 100% back his fight for free speech and we should all join him in support. All he set out to do was promote good health and help others make positive heath changes. Anyone trying to do this deserves the publicity!
I am familiar enough with Steve to let you know he is NOT trying to capitalize on this like some think.
I've talked to Steve a couple times after I learned about what he's *actually* doing (which is just showing people how successful it's been for him and offering common sense advice) and the whole NC bureaucracy thing is absurd. I'd rather have a recovering diabetic inform me than some doctor on a board that gets government hand outs making a gazillion dollars a year off of sick people. There are other states that have been trying to abolish the nutrition panel like NC's who is suing Steve – I just hope they're gone soon too!
I believe that the biggest issue they had was that he WAS charging money for dietary advice; there was an option for one on one dietary counseling at some point. That said, I think he should be permitted to say whatever he wants on his site (with the legal disclaimers, etc). The majority of it literally is his account of what is working for him and what isn't; and it has helped me immensely control my blood sugars.
Along those lines, however, how are unqualified celebrities publishing diet books and making money off of them and not being investigated?
Actually he was not charging money for "dietary advice" all of his dietary guidelines are laid out plainly, always have been, free for the taking. He was charging for coaching, his time, his phone calls, his emails, his support. The dietary guidelines have always been there.
not that it matters anyways – they think even giving free advice without a license is illegal
I watched the video but did not examine all the links. It seems like two issues are being confused here, the issue of giving one's opinion on the internet and the issue of charging people money for coaching or counseling while not licensed to do so, which does not have to do with "free speech." I can understand why the state would take issue with the latter.
Here's a recent interview with Steve that can quickly help you understand his situation a little better. He states the issues that the state had with him and it had a lot to do with his free advice.
Bravo Bob!
There are too many mandates being pushed down our throats right now that should be red flags that while we are watching the right hand, we don't see what the left hand is doing.
If we're not careful, it will get real ugly very quickly.
Do you think the government and conventional licensed and approved health experts have kept us safe from serious health issues and death?
Personally, I'd rather the government didn't try to keep me safe. The more I see how unsafe government is, the more I realized I need to turn on my brain and make educated decisions for myself and not assume that the 8-10-10 or the food pyramid is the correct diet.
So disseminate your beliefs, Bob, Ellen, and Wiglaf. Get the information out there. There are numerous ways of doing so within the confines of the law. If, however, you do so in violation of the law, then there will be consequences, whether you agree with the law or not. It's not any more complicated than that.
Yes, Alice, until it actually IS more complicated than that. A bullying government doesn't necessarily play by the law. Hence, why laws get declared unconstitutional, for example. Perhaps the consequences of obeying the laws of government have worse long term ramifications for society then if we were to disobey and fight it every step of the way. The idea of government approved and licensed dieticians and their association monopoly is overreach. Can I say that is plain and simple?
Ah yes, the good ol' "I'm smart enough to know better, but everyone else is an idiot so the state should intervene" argument…
Thanks for posting .. I am now following the RSS feed. I kinda like this guy 😀
Well, Alice, when the Jews were getting on the rtains to go to the camps, what were they doing? They were obeying the law, of course. That's what that will get you, sometimes. So, go rght ahead and follow the nice man into the train, dear.
Wow your comparing this to the Holocaust? Really? That is pretty sick.
Wow – I never thought I'd see Godwin's Law play out on MDA. If winning an argument is so important to you that you are invoking Nazi references on a health-focused lifestyle forum, I think you need to reconsider how you interact with people.
Agreed. Let's not turn this into a 'if you're not for my particular interpretation of X, then you're with the/on the side of the/thinking like the/apologizing for the.. Nazis!' Sensationalizing things is so ingrained these days people don't even realize they're doing it. People also don't realize that the 'slippery slope' isn't an argument, it's a fallacy.
Why always Hitler? Other dictators need love too!
Some people want to discover for themselves how to live their lives. Sadly, other people want someone else to tell them how to live their lives.
Those who support government overreach in situations such as this one — crying about licenses and so forth — fall into the latter category, no matter how much they may protest otherwise. More importantly, these people are always part of the "herd" upon which abusive, corrupt governments are built and maintained.
I don't need a state license in order to tell my kids they should eat their vegetables.
You will if your going to charge people to give them dietary and medical advice.
I wonder if the North Carolina Board of Dieticians has gone after Costco for giving nutritional advice with the free samples?
That post is full of fail.
So in your new Constitution who gets to be arbiter of truth? There is a reason ALL speech is protected, its the ONLY way to protect freedom of speech. There is nothing wrong with our current Constitution, it hasn't failed us, we have failed it!
Absolutely correct.
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
-Lysander Spooner
Heh. I disagree, about them wanting to lose weight, etc. I never met a fat person who know ANYTHING about vitamins, or good food! They are mostly a bunch of willfully ignorant saps, who deserve what they get.
I meet these people every day, when you start to tell them the cure for whatever stupid, preventable problem they have, their eyes glaze over, and they just don't want to hear it. I've stopped feeling sorry for these pigs.
maybe they just didn't want to listen to YOU. Your attitude towards "those pigs" will surely come through as condescending and offensive. I don't particularly want to listen to you either until you learn some compassion and humility.
You have perhaps seen the Success Stories here, Xiaoding? Funny how many of them started out obese (like Steve Cooksey, incidentally) and ended up lean, fat-burning machines. And yet they somehow managed to do that with the same brain they had when they were overweight.
The whole point of Cooksey's lawsuit is that the dietary information being force-fed to the public is making them ill, whereas the information he is being forced to withhold could make them healthy.
The information, is literally, in the air around us. No one is prevented from getting it. Are you kidding, someone can't get information?
Incredibly, the second post in this thread I want to reply to is from the same author. I can't believe anyone who is truly interested in what Mark has to say about living well is going to overtly attack people for being fat or casually reference the Holocaust to beat down other posters for their opinions.
Xaoding is a troll – no one who really cares about other people acts this way.
You disagrre with me, so I must be a troll. But, the first person to use the troll word, loses.
That's especially bad for oncologists, as the carbs in the cracker disproportionately feed cancers and allow them to multiply (warburg effect)
unfortunately the law is on the books, and until it is amended, he is in direct violation. The document he links to clearly states that without a license you cannot give dietary advice. I am not defending the law, just stating that he is in violation.
What he should do is become a licensed dietitian and then pass on his philosophy. I gave up trying to help people with the primal movement because deep down inside most don't want help anyway because then they would have no one to blame but themselves. Oh well…
He complied with the law. Now he is suing over an unconstitutional law (as in trying to get it amended). He's doing everything right.
Oh, but they DID ask for outrageous changes in what amounts to censorship! His only real problem is living in a state that has the audacity to pursue him. Why aren't they going after Mark for his unlicensed advice? N C wasn't only targeting his paid counseling, but any and all advice on his blog.
Pursue him for speaking freely? The audacity is in their willingness to pass a law that limits speech.
Keep in mind, NC is the hypocritical state that voted for a serial adulterer in the states conservative GOP primary and then turned around and voted to AMEND the states constitution to ban marriage for any class of people not designated "husband and wife" thereby legally discriminating against and restricting the freedoms of many minority groups. Looks like the state of NC has much to learn about FREEDOM.
Uh, what?
Lots of dancing there. They defined marriage, as between a man an a woman. Got it? Why are you so afraid to SAY that?
Xaoding, http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-doma-appeals-court-20120531,0,4385237.story
I rest my case you troll….
You guys – Marion – please don't feed the trolls.
seconded on accreditation
Of course they want to shut him down. They want us fat, sad, and unhealthy. That way their biggest industry, unneccesary meds, remains profitable. They will protect this with everything they have. Watch watch the Burzyski cancer documentary if you haven't seen it yet. Very eye opening.
Steve is a good man. He's one of the biggest reasons I was able to get back on to the Paleo/Primal wagon after getting on and off for 5 years. His encouragement has helped keep me focused. I have been following this from the beginning and am thrilled he is not only fighting for his situation, but the situation of millions of other people.
I sent a link to the Drudge Report two days ago highlighting the Steven Cooksey case.
Today they posted a headline
The headline in the 3rd column reads:
"REPORT: State Agency Censored Online Diet Advice Column… " and links to the local CBS affiliate's coverage of the story
Oh well, in the time it took to moderate my comments the headline has been replaced on the Drudge Report.
….And the medical profession makes fun of us for taking our health into our own hands when we become frustrated with their CW advice and seek our own answers. Maybe they are afraid of their overseers, but can't I go my own way if theirs doesn't get the results I want?
This is just senseless.
Fantastic post. I also agree with Indian media personality Suhel Seth's opinion on Censorship in India: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MilbuHFP0qI
Not being diabetic, I hadn't heard of the site. Having checked it out now, I shall be a frequent visitor for the recipes alone.
Thanks Mark!
He's providing a service that obviously is helping people. People PAY for junk food that kills them slowly, why shouldn't he be able to give dietary advice that works? As long as he has a disclaimer it's all good.
"It's just advice, man. You can do whatever the F*** you wanna do!" – Hodgetwins
For the record, Steve was not charging for advice, not that this is the issue, but I'd like to set this straight. He was charging for his TIME to spend answering emails, phone calls, etc. This was a support package, or coaching. ALL of his dietary advice and exercise advice has always been laid out on his site FREE for the taking. A man has every right to charge for his time. If you didn't want to pay him, you could still have found every single bit of advice on his site.
Wow that scary! Since when do you have to have a license to show someone what you did to lose weight/counter diabetes? That's just ridiculous!
Hello Mark,
This post relates directly to me.
I am in the process of writing an e-book on how I healed from an auto-immune disorders that the medical community labels as "in-curable".
In this e-book I outline clearly how the Paleo-lifestyle and the support of "marksdailyapple" played an integral role in my recovery.
Should I be worried??
This made me very nervous. I lost a lot of weight and feel very healthy after my one year change of eating habits.
I started telling family, friends, coworkers, and I have an online type hangout where we talk, swap recipes and generally discuss what to do/eat next…
Now I have international people,and friends of friends, and people I've never met on there…
Im not acredited… although I don't live in a country where people sue each other for a hot cup of coffee etc etc.
Still a bit nerve wracking!
If giving out free dietary advice is illegal, then we should all have our grandmothers investigated for telling us that bread and pasta were fattening.
Are they only investigating people giving out free advice that doesn't jive with current nutritional curriculum?

Expanding the retail-branches network, building a strong brand, speeding up investments with advanced technology and low cost as well as developing professional staff are the strategies of Hoa Sen Group's Chairman. Those are the key drivers for Hoa Sen to become a Vietnam's steel sheet industry leader.
Hoa Sen Group is quite a special enterprise – being one of the fastest growing enterprises in the market even through tough economic periods. According to Nhip Cau Dau Tu – a financial magazine, on average, during the period from 2011 to 2013, Hoa Sen's turnover growth rate was 34%. The Group also achieved 19% of return on equity (ROE) and 13% of return on owner's capital (ROC) in the same period. Remarkably, although the Group was established only 13 years ago, it is approaching a milestone of USD 1 billion in revenue– an amount that Vietnamese private enterprises may normally take 20 years to achieve.
Chairman of Hoa Sen Group, Mr Le Phuoc Vu is also quite a special person. He is a vegan Buddhist and a businessman who applies Buddhism philosophy in his business. This philosophy is illustrated on a stylized lotus on the logo of Hoa Sen Group, the company founded by him. The 8 petals of the lotus stand for Buddhism's Noble Eightfold Path which represents right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration. In other words, this Buddhist's living and practicing method is towards enlightenment, lofty and happiness. In Mr Vu's business philosophy, the Noble Eightfold Path is the direction towards "Honesty – Community – Development". At Hoa Sen, honesty and community are the top two criterias in every business activities of the Group and has become a unique corporate culture.
The office that Mr Vu welcomes us also uses lotus motifs to drive everyone in the Group to work towards the Noble Eightfold Path guidelines, such as the lotus pictures outside the door. The opposite wall also hangs a big picture of beautiful lotus pond. However, our conversationis not about the beauty of the lotus, the religion and lifetime as he usually said, it is about the "2014 Entrepreneur of the Year" award organising by E&Ywhich he won the first prize.
Retail advantages
Among six criterias of the Entrepreneur of the Year award (including Entrepreneurial Spirit, Financial Performance, Strategic Direction, Global Impact, Innovation and Personal Intigrity/Influence), so which criteria have you not completed yet?
(Laughing) This question is really difficult to answer. We have submitted documents according to the Organizing Committee's requirements. And we do not know clearly the way the Board and the Organizing Committee voted and assessed according to which criteria.
Which issues will you talk about when you represent the Vietnamese Entrepreneur community to join the World Entrepreneur of the Year award in Monaco in the year 2015?
I will talk about the success story at Hoa Sen Group. At the time of starting business, we almost had nothing but have managed to build a rapid growth enterprise and one that is sustainable, leading the Vietnam's steel sheet industry and expanding to South East Asia and other countries in the world.
How did Hoa Sen do that?
We are creative constantly, flexible in managing and finding out different ways to build our competitive advantages in order to maintain our high growth rate, therefore create breakthroughs in business.
In particular, we have already focused on 4 basic strategy pieces. First of all, we develop a distribution network – sell directly to the end users and be able to manage such distribution network. Second, we build a strong, friendly, community-oriented brand and thus creates brand-induced demand. Third, we speed up investments with advanced technology and low cost. Finally, we develop a reliable team, promote a professional, standardised,, flexible and effective corporate governance, which is adaptable to changes and challenges of the market.
You have just told us that Hoa Sen competitive advantage is the retail - distribution network. What is the difference with other enterprises' distribution network?
We have forseen the market and determined that the market output is an important factor to ensure consumption capabilities and cash flow. For that reason, at inception, we have oriented to invest into the retail-branches network. During our 13 years of development, we now have nearly 140 branches nationwide. Based on our plan, this number will increase up to 300 branches in the next 2-3 years.
Whereas the distribution network of other enterprises in this industry is independent agents, most of Hoa Sen's distribution branches, including its land, factory and machinery, belongs to Hoa Sen Group. Hence, with the centralized and consolidated management due to general policy, we have been proactive in implenting responsive sales policies according to market fluctuation as well as tightly controlling products' quality to the end-users. These strategies has helped Hoa Sen to overcome the challlenges during the economic crisis.
Would you please to talk more in detail?
The financial crisis and global economic downturn in quarter IV/2008 had made the world steel prices to plunge rapidly. Reacting to that situation, steel companies had to sell-out their high-cost inventory.
However, whereas other enterprises could not sell goods quickly due to its dependence on other distributors and agents, Hoa Sen, through its retail-branches network, was proactively bringing the product to the end users with flexible price strategies. As a result, our retail-branches network had sold out the inventory thus maintain our turnover although the selling price was falling down deeply. More significant, the Group had secured the cash flow to take the opportunities when the steel price recovered and obtained profit rapidly in subsequent quarter.
One of the marketing strategies that contribute to the success of brand building during last time is the invitation for Nick Vujicic's presentation in Vietnam. What is the fate that you and Nick Vujicic meet each other?
We received the invitation to sponsor Nick's trip in Vietnam. However, after watching video clips about Nick's daily life as well as his presentation, I was deeply empathetic with Nick about the value of humanity he had shared. His presentation not only brought benefits to the community but also encouraged and brought positive living value for everybody. Thus, I decided to organize large-scale events in order to send Nick's message to millions of Vietnamese citizens. And this also expresses my respect for Nick.
Hoa Sen has just finished the fiscal year 2013-2014. What is the business result of Hoa Sen this year?
According to the consolidated business result of the fiscal year 2013-2014 (1.10.2013-30.9.2014), The sales volume of Hoa Sen's finished product reached 810,226 tons, exceeding 16% compared with the fiscal year plan. Hoa Sen's net sales of the year gained 15,004 billion dongs and profit after tax was 410 billion dongs.
An analysis of a securities company stated that one of the reasons that had caused Hoa Sen's profits was not as planned is because Hoa Sen Group speculated in raw materials at an inappropriate time. What is the truth?
The world steel price is affected by the fluctuation of iron ore price which is often cyclical and the previous period is the downturn cycle of the ore price. Earlier this year, the ore price was around 110-120 USD/ton, but now it is only 80 USD/ton. The reason was explained as a sharp decline in demand, particularly in Chinese market.
Falling in iron ore prices leads to steel price reduction. Although acknowledging that the prices will fall, manufacturers must maintain minimum inventory to ensure business operations. It is inevitable in business. For the steel industry, in the downturn price cycle, the profit of manufacturers will decrease, and in the upturn price cycle, the profit increases.
Hoa Sen has positive business result; however, the Group's ratio of debt/owner's equity is quite high. Is there any risks?
Hoa Sen is currently expanding investment, therefore the high debt/owner's equity ratio is understandable. Typical business of Hoa Sen is also a cause of this high ratio. Hoa Sen is not only a manufacturer but also a distributor and retailer, hence in each field, we must have a certain amount of inventory. Thus, Hoa Sen's working capital demand is 3 times higher than an enterprise with only one phase. High debt, but if we divided into 3 phases it is not that high.
Revenue Target: 1 Billion USD
For now, who are Hoa Sen's competitors?
In Vietnam steel sheet industry, there are dozens of domestic and foreign enterprises. However, saying that Hoa Sen has competitors is right but does not have competitors is also right, because Hoa Sen has grown to the leading position in many segments. In the galvanized steel field, Hoa Sen is holding nearly 40% market share, beyond that of enterprises at second and third rank. For steel pipe and plastic pipe, with only 7 years of participation in the market, the Group has been the top in steel pipe market with 20% market share and third rank in plastic pipe market.
With such large market share, whether Hoa Sen can continue to grow rapidly in the future or not?
Hoa Sen has grown continuously by promoting the expansion of domestic market and international market, in order to achieve 1 billion USD revenue in the next 2 years. The Group is pursuing production scale and market expansion to actualize this target.
Recently, Hoa Sen has started to build a large-scale plant in Nghe An. The total investment capital for this plant is more than 2.300 billions dong, including 12 steel pipe production lines with a design capacity of 100.000 tons/year, colour-coating line 100.000 tons/year, galvanizing line 400.000 tons/year, cold rolling line 400.000 tons/year, acide recycling line with a design capacity of 300 liters/hour, pickling line 400.000 tons/year and CNC roll grinding machinegrinding CNC steel sheet roller machine with a design capacity of 24 rolls/day.
Why do you build the plant in Nghe An instead of the North area?
The investment in the Nghe An plant aims to bring the plant closer to the market in order to increase supply chain capacity, increasing our competitive edge and to satisfy customers' needs from the Middle area - Thua Thien Hue province - to the North of Vietnam. Setting the plant here will also help the Group to increase export volume to Lao, Thai Lan, Myanmar… Moreover, when Formosa Ha Tinh project goes into operations at the end of 2015, it may become a good source of raw materials for the Group in the future.
Export has contributed significantly to Hoa Sen's turnover during last 2 years. What is your plan for the international market in the future?
Hoa Sen's products are now presented in more than 40 countries and territories. The Group's forthcoming orientation is to continue expanding export to international market, especially oriented to large market such as United States of America and Australia. If Vietnam succeeds in joining Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP), we will have a great chance in USA market.
The challenge of exporters, including steel enterprises, is trade litigation issue. How will Hoa Sen solve this problem?
Trade barrier is a complicated issue in internal relations in each export country. It is common practice for domestic enterprises to lobby their Government to create trade barriers to ward off international competition. For this reason, export enterprises must be ready to cope with this issue.
For Hoa Sen, first of all, we always provide transparent data to demonstrate that Hoa Sen is not dumping. Furthermore, we also set specialized team, hire good lawyers and even the world-best professional lawyers to prove for Hoa Sen's arguments about not dumping. For this reason, I think every export enterprise needs to improve such specialized skill.
Does Hoa Sen have any investments plans for plant construction in foreign countries?
Previously, Hoa Sen already planned to invest some plants in foreign countries but now we have delayed due to some obstacles in terms of investment procedures and conditions. For example, in Thai Lan, the political situation is unstable; in Myanmar, the procedure is very complicated, particularly high land rent and strict land renting process. Therefore, we are still waiting for opportunity, but have not had any particular plan yet.
Professional Corporate Governance
Many Vietnamese business owners usually intervene deeply into Genenral Director's execution. How about in Hoa Sen?
I think every enterprise must have leader. The leadership role is very important, but we need to build the corporate governance rather than relying on individual orders.
Currently, we manage the enterprise based on our corporate governance and clear designation. I am the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the General Director is another person. Sometimes I have a long business trip up to 20 days and I come to the office only for 2 hours/day, however, all business activities still flow smoothly. This demonstrates that Hoa Sen Group has a well-operated management team. I am only the leader in terms of guidence, policies and ideas as well as strategy.
Some opinions state that Mr Vu is only suitable with the owner's role, rather than managing position.What do you think about this judgement?
Since early 2011, I transferred the General Director position and only hold the Chairman position; before that, I was both the Group's Chairman and General Director. Without good management, how could Hoa Sen overcome such difficulties right from inception to develop until today?
Most top current managers in Hoa Sen are under my training. Mr Chu (Tran Ngoc Chu, Hoa Sen General Director) previously specialized in Tax Accounting, or Mr Tran Quoc Tri, Managing Deputy General Director worked for me with a starting salary of only 1.7 million dong/month.
Hoa Sen has several shareholders who are foreign organization. Do they support Hoa Sen in governance and management?
Most of Hoa Sen's foreign investors are financial investors and they also provide helpful advice for the Group.We always follow the business strategies which approved by the Board of Directors. However, since Hoa Sen understand the industry and the Vietnamese market, we are the one who make decisions on business strategy.
What is the biggest failure in administration that you have faced during Hoa Sen development process?
We have not faced failure but have learnt lessons, particularly, the human management lesson based on standardized behavior, prominence to professionalism and responsibility. We have to form corporate governance based on standards and ensure individuals do not act on self-interest or corruption. An example to illustrate this is the story of 18 days General Director. After we fired this General Director together with his team, the Group's operations were much better: sales increased, profit increased, cost were controlled. When an enterprise is on the development path, these lessons are very important.
But this is the General Director you had promoted. Is this a governance lesson or lesson for human value judgement?
That is the inevitable consequence. In our breakthrough phase, we seriously lacked human resources. Thus, in term of strategy, we must accelerate our growth while human resource could be adjusted later. We must choose the optimum solution in each situation; it would never have been perfection, particularly in a rapid developing economy like Vietnam.
How about investing in real estate and port, then withdraw?
These were changes in strategy. Investing in real estate was an action to discover new business field and once it was ineffective, we sold our shares and withdraw. We did not spend too much money and have not lost yet in these investment projects. Therefore, it could not be said as a failure. When Hoa Sen decided to invest in port project, the economic prospect was still quite bright. But now, with exceeding port capacities, the investment was not recommended. Hence, withdrawing these projects was just a correction. The current market now was unpredictable and volatile, thus flexible management to deal and adapt to those fluctuations would determine the enterprise's success.
What is your ambition for Hoa Sen in the future?
Currently, we are orienting to restructure the Group in order to continue to exploit the strength of our brand and distribution network and strive for becoming the top building materials distribution in medium and long term. We will continue to invest in expanding our distribution network, increase the total number of branches up to 300-400 and will have around 60 building materials distribution center in every province.
Are you ambitious to become the billionaire dollar?
I have no ambition in monetary gain, because to have such ambitions will lead to the mindset of doing whatver it takes to obtain that ambition. For example, commenting that Mr Vu bribes to do business will never happen. I am only ambitious in honest business, foresee the opportunities to develop and being responsible in community. Developing ethically, we will get rich from it and this is really meaningful.
Do you admire any businessman?
I am a Buddhist and only adore Buddha. I just believe and pursue the teaching of the Buddha.

Visakhapatnam: A first-year law student at a university here was allegedly raped by a senior student after a party early this morning, police said.
The accused was identified as Rishabh Singh (22), a fourth year law student, and a native of Bihar.
The victim, who is 19 years old, hails from Uttar Pradesh and stays in a private hostel. According to her complaint, last night she went to an apartment, where four girls from the second-year lived for the preparation of the next month's 'moot court' competition.
Inspector S Vidyasagar of MPV Police Station said, both Rishabh Singh and the victim had had drinks at the apartment.
According to her, after the drinking session, she, another girl, and the accused, slept in the living room. At around 4 am, Singh allegedly raped her.
She lodged the complaint this morning, police said, adding, a case has been registered under section 376 of IPC (rape) and the accused arrested.

This website is the repository of information on Discworld Stamps and associated items. It will always be work in progress for historic information but new stamps, LBEs, and covers will be added as they are released by the Discworld Emporium.
The term for collectors of Discworld stamps is Flatalists, a term selected and approved by the Man Himself, Sir Terry Pratchett OBE PhD and Milk Monitor. The term derives from Flatness of the Discworld, a homophone of Philatalist, a collector of stamps, and the fact the word is very close to Fatalists.
If you are interested in the Discworld, the stamps and the books then check out Discworld Stamp forum. The forum has been around since the start so has an excellent pedigree.
There you will find discussions on the stamps and associated ephemera, historic information, news on upcoming stamps and a trading thread where you can swap, buy and sell stamps and other items.
Before this stamp catalogue there two printed catalogues Volume 1 and Volume 2. These were given away by the Emporium free of charge, on request and gratis. Unfortunately, some people saw an opportunity to get rich and tried selling the booklets on eBay.
18th August 2017
The glorious Unseen University One Penny minisheet added. The sheet comprises eight one penny stamps but I doubt if we will see the stamps singly.
21st July 2017
Two stamps from the Closer to Home LBE added. The Half Penny Big Cabbage and the Octarine Grass Country 2p.
14th July 2017
The 13th Birthday stamp added.
24th June 2017
Two stamps from far-flung places added. The Last Emporer 2 rhinu and the One Squid Fourecks stamps; both released in the Far-Flung LBE.
Also a new frank added. The Zakzak's Magickal Emporium frank.

© Red Hot
Why Is This Important?
Because it's time gingers were shown some love.
Long Story Short
Ginger-only photography project Red Hot has launched a 2017 calendar called 'Red Hot Exposed' only featuring nude red-haired men.
Long Story
Over the years gingers have had a pretty raw deal when it comes to being seen as sexy.
Redheads are rarely touted as pin-ups and until recently have been largely unrepresented in the entertainment world before Damian Lewis, Christina Hendricks, Emma Stone (although she's not a natural redhead) Ed Sheeran and Eddie Redmayne (sort of) started to steal the limelight.
In 2013, photographer and filmmaker Thomas Knights started a campaign in London called Red Hot to "celebrate what makes redheads unique," creating sexy images of male and female redheads.
And now Red Hot is launching a risqué calendar of 12 nude ginger men from across the world under the name "Red Hot Exposed" — a project created by Knights and designer Elliott James Frieze.
The calendar boasts "12 images of some of the world's hottest redheads from Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Australasia, showing off the uniqueness of this particular hair colour, focusing on fair and untanned skin, freckles and black and mixed race redheads," the creators said.
"Exposed is our first ever nude calendar - tastefully shot of course. It's about owning socially perceived flaws and being comfortable in your own skin," Knights told the Daily Mail.
The men involved certainly seem comfortable and there's definitely a lot of skin on show.
The calendars are available from the Red Hot website and cost $25 with money going to The Diana Awards' anti-bullying campaign.
Straight men, fear not, Knights has also released Red Hot II — a glossy photo book of very sexy redheads, which also includes women.
Own The Conversation
Ask The Big Question
Do people perceive redheads as less sexy?
Disrupt Your Feed
It's strange how discrimination against redheads passes almost entirely unnoticed but there are so few 'sexy' redheads in the media. This is certainly an eye-catching way to make a point!
Drop This Fact
Between 2 and 5% of the American population is ginger, for the UK it is closer to 10% of the population with the greatest proportion in Scotland.

Reminds Me of Little Caesar Breadsticks
Recipe by startnover
I use to work at Little Caesar's and these are so similar! Much more affordable though as this makes a lot! These can be made in a traditional mixer or a bread machine on dough cycle.
Top Review by Mommy_gone_crazy
When I first started mixing this dough (I did it by hand instead of by machine), I was a bit dubious about the end result would be. The dough seemed very dry to me, and it didn't seem very workable when I was kneading it...but the baked product was very good! This dough made soft, slightly dense breadsticks that my family loved. I fixed the breadsticks with the butter/garlic/parmesan sauce and brushed the sauce on before and after baking--it gave them just a hint of crunch on top--very good with spaghetti! Thanks for the recipe--I'll be making it again!

Are You Ready for Winter in the Mountains of Blue Ridge & Fannin County, Georgia?
Brrrr! Winter in the North Georgia mountains is a magical time. The air is crisp, and the gently falling snow creates the perfect excuse for warming your toes back at the cabin. You'll find tons to do and plenty of ways to get into the holiday spirit.
Santa, Shopping & More!
Begin Thanksgiving day with the Turkey Trot 5K run. Then kick it into high gear on Blue Friday, which is Blue Ridge's kinder, gentler version of Black Friday shopping. You can also enjoy a train ride on the Santa Express and watch as the Great Tree is lit during Light Up Blue Ridge — our way of welcoming in the season with a day of downtown festivities.
And don't miss the holiday comedy, The Bench: A Christmas Story, at the Blue Ridge Community Theater. (Check our calendar of events for even more winter fun.)
Be sure to come back to Blue Ridge for a post-holiday visit in the new year. The pace is slower and the mountains are often dusted with snow. February brings the annual Fire & Ice Chili Cook-Off, which features regional chefs competing for the "best chili" title, plus live music, entertainment, ice sculptures lining the streets and ice carving demonstrations.

Oil Prices Continue to Decline
Increased supplies and OPEC pledge ease immediate concerns.
LONDON -- The price of U.S. light crude dropped 68 cents to $37.81 per barrel on Monday morning, more than 10 percent below last week's 21-year high of $42.45, according to Reuters.
Increased supplies in the United States and OPEC's promise to increase output precipitated the drop. However, price declines will be limited by security concerns in the Middle East and fears that the summer driving season will deplete U.S. supplies.
Prices began to drop last week after OPEC pledged to raise official output by 2 million barrels per day (bpd) starting in July and a further 500,000 bpd in August. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates said that they would pump an extra 1 million bpd between them, regardless of OPEC policy.
According to the latest weekly data, U.S. crude stocks are at their highest since August 2002, and gasoline stocks have increased, offering some relief for the summer driving season. However, stocks remain below five-year averages and are 4 million barrels below what they were last year.
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham urged U.S. refineries to run at full capacity to ensure gasoline supplies. On Friday, after a meeting with suppliers, he announced,"I made it clear to them that we wanted to see no diminishment in refining capacity during this peak summertime period."
Security concerns in the Middle East are still a factor in oil prices. An Irish cameraman was killed and his British colleague was wounded by gunmen in Saudi Arabia on Sunday. The attack came a week after al-Qaeda militants killed 22 people in the eastern oil city of Khobar.

text: The new UK Air Navigation Order (ANO) 2016 comes into effect on 25 Aug 16. A Information Notice (2016-073) advises of changes affecting Small Unmanned Aircraft operators. Most are reference changes but there is a change to the definition of Aerial Work renamed Commercial Operation. The key paras are: 3.1 .... 'Commercial operation' is given the following meaning within article 7: "...any operation of an aircraft other than for public transport— (a) which is available to the public; or (b) which, when not made available to the public, is performed under a contract between an operator and a customer, where the latter has no control over the operator, in return for remuneration or other valuable consideration." 3.2 The intent of this meaning is exactly the same as the previous intent of 'aerial work'. The key elements in understanding this term are '...any operation of an aircraft...in return for remuneration or other valuable consideration'. 3.3 The term 'available to the public' within article 7 should be interpreted as being a service or commodity that any member of the public can make use of, or actively choose to use, (e.g. because it has been advertised or offered to someone). I am sure there will be some debate as to whether the new wording has the same meaning as previously. Does 'available to the public' make all publishing to Facebook (inter alia) a commercial operation.

on July 11, 2011 :
I just read Carls Dead Horizon book and decided to buy Pornocopia.......I read this book in ONE day! This book is yummy! Talk about sex, sex and more sex! I had so much fun reading this with my partner!!!
You will be amazed at the details that Carl puts into his work. I got so caught up in the stories it was ridiculous! This book will turn you on and make you yearn to be characters in these awesome stories.
Once again, thank you Carl for your imagination and your talent for words. You transport me to somewhere else and put me in the middle of your stories.

With all the attention given to big, charismatic animals—lions, tigers, elephants, and so on—you might think these creatures are the most important ones in nature. And, of course, they are important. But let's not forget who is responsible for keeping the entire world running: these creatures, of course, are the pollinators.
These winged insects and animals, from bees and butterflies to birds and bats, spread the pollen and seeds that allow the next generation of plants to grow. Without them, every flowering plant—including many of our crops—would be lost.
Many of today's plants, like trees and grasses, rely on the wind to carry their seeds. This method is as old as plant life itself. But 135 million years ago, the first flowering plant blossomed with a new adaptation that allowed its genetic material, pollen, to be carried directly to a potential mate by an unwitting insect. Researchers have speculated that the first flowering plant was a kind of magnolia, and the first insect messenger was a beetle of the order Coleoptera.
Flowering plants lure their insect helpers with their beautiful, colorful petals and seductive perfumes. Many insects can see more colors than we humans, with vision extending into the ultraviolet and infrared ranges. To their eyes, these flowers may be even more beautiful than we imagine, providing even more reason to stop in, drop off their pollen loads, and pick up some more.
In this preview from Wings of Life, a bee finds himself trapped by the alluring scent of an orchid:
Nectar-feeding bats are part of a similar system. One of these species lives in the arid Sonoran Desert of northern Mexico, where cactus nectar and fruit offer a rare opportunity for bats to drink and eat. Many butterflies, such as the brilliant orange monarch, also subsist on nectar—specifically, that of the milkweed plant, notorious for its toxicity to other animals. These winged creatures spread the plants' pollen as they feed, ensuring that the plants will continue to grow and provide food for them in years to come.
The continued blossoming of flowers, and the fruits that come along with them, is completely dependent on pollinators. These creatures work hard to feed themselves, but it's important to remember that they also feed the rest of us.

Framed Art Print
Jurassic Park - Dennis and the Dilophosaurusby Peter Cassidy
Choose from a variety of frame styles, colors and sizes to complement your favorite Society6 gallery, or fine art print - made ready to hang. Fine-crafted from solid woods, premium shatterproof acrylic protects the face of the art print, while an acid free dust cover on the back provides a custom finish. All framed art prints include wall hanging hardware.
Listed here is a poster for Steven Spielberg's magnificent masterpiece "Jurassic Park".
The poster depicts the playful first encounter of mischievous computer expert Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), and the venomous Dilophosaurus. As he attaches his tow rope to a tree, a curious dinosaur begins to play hide-and-seek.
This fan-favourite scene is a pivotal point in the film; Nedry's unfortunate demise prevents a swift resolution to the electric fence situation, ultimately leading to the release of the Velociraptors when the computers are rebooted - damn it, even Nedry knew better than to mess with the raptor fences.

So I'm starting my first real job soon, in the IT section of an investment bank and I don't really have lot of office clothes.
I have like an outfit or two but not something for every day. However what I do have are just plain jersey dresses like this
Is that something you could wear to work?

Those look good for work. Since you're going to be sitting most of the day make sure it's going to be comfortable in either of those dresses.00|00|0
