Day 1Terribly droll, and I doubt terribly original. It was all uphill from there.
Welcome to the Hold the Mayo. Here you will find my thoughts on whatever I happen to be thinking. I hope you find them as interesting as I do.
My path from reader to blogger began with a book. Virginia Postrel's The Future and Its Enemies. This lead me to her blog where I found a link to Rocket Man Blog. I exchanged a few emails with its author, Mark Oakly, who turned out to be just an average guy like me. I took the leap and started up on Blogspot with a great deal of help and advice from Mark. Mark's blog has been silent for a while now as he has joined a company in pursuit of the X-Prize.
Shortly after getting started I got an invite from Ted at Rocket Jones to move over to Munuviana. One of the smartest decisions I've made about blogging was accepting. I have "met" and in one case met, some terrific people.
But enough of the fluff. Lets get to the details.
As of 11:40 this morning this site contained 440 posts and 535 comments. Here's the status of my Site Meter (I missed the actual time for taking the screen shot by a few hours, but since I didn't have Site Meter running the first three days I figure its a wash.) I don't know if these numbers would be considered good, bad or indifferent. I do know that I am entirely too obsessed with them. Not in that I do things just to try to generate traffic, just in that I obsess over what traffic comes to see what I do. I still blog the same way I did when getting visits in double figures was a good day. As of today I am a Marauding Marsupial ranked #1325 in the TTLB Ecosystem.
The post that is by far the most Googled, most read, and certainly the most commented on is this one. It consists of two brief paragraphs and was written on my fourth day of blogging:
John Kerry LiesThe post that comes in second for google searches is Ozymandius by Shelley posted by Pixy Misa as a place holder when he set up my mu.nu site.
Officially announcing his candidacy for president, Senator John kerry stood in front of the USS Yorktown and lied about his vote in favor of the Joint Resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq. Kerry asserted in his announcement that he voted in favor of "threatening" to use force against Iraq. Either John Kerry believes Americans cannot read or he cannot do so himself. The resolution contains the statement "The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate..."
It does not read that the President is authorized to use the THREAT of force. The threat was actually contained in UN Security Council Resolution 1441, I don't believe Senator Kerry got a vote on that. Kerry has repeatedly accused the president of misleading the American people and himself into supporting the war. Now it would seem that it is Senator Kerry who is doing the misleading. And if the American people are paying attention the only one who will be mislead is Kerry himself.
I've been trying for weeks to come up with what I would call my favorite post, but have been unable to pick one. The political post I am proudest of is The New Soldier which has links to PDF files of John Kerry's book by that title. I think it is important that the book get out, and I like to think/delude myself that it might make a difference.
I also rather like The Kerry Ad which contains my first ever Flash animation. I like it almost as much for the hurdles I had to overcome and what I learned along the way as for the ad itself.
One of my favorite non-political posts is Musical Flashback, and another is Talkin' 'Bout My Generation.
My all time favorite link is from Ted at Rocket Jones who described this post as "an analysis binge."
But what does it all mean, all this looking back over the year of blogging? I haven't the slightest idea other than that I've decided to keep going.

If Tropical Depression Gaston isn't enough to get them down, there's always Hermine.
There's nothing like the sight of a few thousand soaking wet - windblown leftists marching the streets of New York to warm a conservative's heart.
I do hope my favorite convention bloggers will all be warm, safe and dry.

John Kerry had just pumped up a huge crowd in downtown West Palm Beach, promising to make the state a battleground for his quest to oust President Bush, when a local television journalist posed the question that any candidate with Florida ambitions should expect:
What will you do about Cuba?
As the presumptive Democratic nominee, Kerry was ready with the bravado appropriate for a challenger who knows that every answer carries magnified importance in the state that put President Bush into office by just 537 votes.
"I'm pretty tough on Castro, because I think he's running one of the last vestiges of a Stalinist secret police government in the world," Kerry told WPLG-ABC 10 reporter Michael Putney in an interview to be aired at 11:30 this morning.
Then, reaching back eight years to one of the more significant efforts to toughen sanctions on the communist island, Kerry volunteered: "And I voted for the Helms-Burton legislation to be tough on companies that deal with him."
It seemed the correct answer in a year in which Democratic strategists think they can make a play for at least a portion of the important Cuban-American vote — as they did in 1996 when more than three in 10 backed President Clinton's reelection after he signed the sanctions measure written by Sen. Jesse Helms and Rep. Dan Burton.
There is only one problem: Kerry voted against it.
Asked Friday to explain the discrepancy, Kerry aides said the senator cast one of the 22 nays that day in 1996 because he disagreed with some of the final technical aspects. But, said spokesman David Wade, Kerry supported the legislation in its purer form — and voted for it months earlier.

Kerry's former commander RADM William L. Schachte, Jr. USN (Ret.) has released a statement
Upon returning to base, I informed my commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Grant Hibbard, of the events, informing him of the details of the operation and that we had received no enemy fire. I did not file an "after action" report, as one was only required when there was hostile fire. Soon thereafter, Lt. (jg) Kerry requested that he be put in for a Purple Heart as a result of a small piece of shrapnel removed from his arm that he attributed to the just-completed mission. I advised Lt. Cmdr. Hibbard that I could not support the request because there was no hostile fire. The shrapnel must have been a fragment from the M-79 that struck Lt. (jg) Kerry, because he had fired the M-79 too close to our boat. Lt. Cmdr. Hibbard denied Lt. (jg) Kerry's request. Lt. (jg) Kerry detached our division a few days later to be reassigned to another division. I departed Vietnam approximately three weeks later, and Lt. Cmdr. Hibbard followed shortly thereafter. It was not until years later that I was surprised to learn that Lt. (jg) Kerry had been awarded a Purple Heart for this night.CBS News is trying to provide cover but given the Schachte statement, I don't think its going to help at all. From their timeline comparing George Bush's service with Kerry's:
While the campaign cannot locate a detailed report on the injuries that earn Kerry his first Purple Heart, a brief medical note in his personal files dated Dec. 3, 1968, reads, "Shrapnel in left arm above elbow. Shrapnel removed and appl (sic) bacitracin dressing. Ret to Duty." (emphasis mine)This is the first reference I have heard to a claim that documents supporting Kerry's medals cannot be found. Perhaps they are lost in the 100 or so pages of documents that Kerry refuses to release.
Senator Kerry, sign form 180 and end this now.

Never in CambodiaThis should put a nasty dent in whatever is left of the the credibility of Kerry's war stories.
STEVE GARDNER:Â Â "I spent more time on John Kerry's boat than any other crew member.
John Kerry hasn't been honest, he's been deceitful.
John Kerry claims that he spent Christmas in 1968 in Cambodia and that is categorically a lie.
Not in December, not in January.
We were never in Cambodia on a secret mission, ever."
VO: "Swift Boat Veterans for truth is responsible for the content of this advertisement."
The Captain at Captain's Quarters recently highlighted a news story in which it was pointed out that there is a strong possibility that much of the military documentation of events being used to support Kerry's stories may well have been authored by the candidate.
Sen. Symington asked Kerry, "Mr. Kerry, from your experience in Vietnam do you think it is possible for the President or Congress to get accurate and undistorted information through official military channels.[?]"I don't personally have easy access to archives of Stars and Stripes from the four months of Kerry's combat service but some enterprising reporter (probably not for a major paper with the word Times in its name) could probably compare the paper's reports with Kerry's after action reports to see if this part of the story holds up as well as the rest seams to.
Kerry responded, "I had direct experience with that. Senator, I had direct experience with that and I can recall often sending in the spot reports which we made after each mission; and including the GDA, gunfire damage assessments, in which we would say, maybe 15 sampans sunk or whatever it was. And I often read about my own missions in the Stars and Stripes and the very mission we had been on had been doubled in figures and tripled in figures.
Kerry later added, "I also think men in the military, sir, as do men in many other things, have a tendency to report what they want to report and see what they want to see."
If that part of the story turns out to be true, then Kerry's defense of it is perfectly adequate. People see what they want to see. For instance if you want to see a hail of very poorly aimed gunfire from both banks of a river while you pull a guy out of the water and your comrades busy themselves tying a tow line to a damaged boat then that is what you will report. Especially if you want to come out of it with a medal.
For the record, I have never served in the military, and thus have never seen combat. I am very understanding of the stress of and terror and how that can effect a person's recollection of events. I also understand the tendency to exaggerate from time to time. I myself have even exaggerated once or twice. An exaggeration IS saying you sank 10 sampans when you only sank 8, or reporting that there were 12 enemy firing at you when there were only seven. Saying you were in a fire-fight in Cambodia on Christmas Eve when you were 50 miles away typing in your journal of visions of sugarplums is not an exaggeration it is a lie.
Kerry's lack of truthfulness, and his lack of a consistent position on the war in Iraq, his generally law enforcement/judicial response to terrorism and his eagerness to raise taxes and federalize the health care industry make opposition to his candidacy easy. I only wish there was enough about his campaign opponent to engender support as enthusiastic as my opposition to Kerry.
I support President Bush's response to terrorism completely. Waiting for them to come to us will only result in more of us getting killed. I think the tax cuts Bush fought for early in his administration were a good half step in the right direction. Making them permanent would make them a good first step. I support his proposals to partially privatize Social Security - again as a good first step. Unfortunately, that's pretty much where it ends. There's a whole list of things he has done that I cannot support. The Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Campaign Finance Reform, No Child Left Behind, and the whole Faith Based Initiative are probably at the top of the list. I'm not all that crazy about Bush's imposition of tariffs either.
I don't however want to see Bush change any of those positions out of political expediency. I would rather have a president with deeply held convictions some of which I disagree with, than to have president without principals, conviction or character. But I do need something. I need Bush to do something to get me past a vote based on grudging support of him and vehement opposition to his opponent. I'd like to be able to vote with a smile instead of a shrug.

The two agreed to found OAFS when President Bush called McCain to pledge that his campaign would file suit in federal court to
prevent the independent groups, named for the section of the tax code that governs their activities, from raising and spending money in unlimited amounts.The two head OAFS agreed that groups of ordinary common citizens - even really rich ones - pooling their resources to get their message heard during an election is a bad thing. The common, and the uncommon, must not have a voice.
The OAFS co-chairs also reached an agreement
to support legislation to regulate the groups, which have used a loophole in the new campaign finance law to become significant and controversial actors in the campaign in behalf of both the president and the senator from Massachusetts.Speech it seems must be regulated - especially when it negatively impacts on a fellow OAFS member.
It is not known at this time if Senator Kerry will be officially joining the OAFS, but he has agreed to stop running an ad featuring McCain's criticism of President Bush from the 200 election campaign. Senator Kerry has in the past expressed his support of the curtailment of free speech.
I have consistently cosponsored the McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform bill. I have also cosponsored more sweeping reform measuresMcCain expressed his satisfaction with the founding of OAFS but lamented
he believes it is too late to have any impact on the current campaign.more...

A number of the links I have followed contained comments to the effect they wanted to get the files and spread them before I was forced to take them down. In truth, this is not something I am particularly worried about. I will tell you why after I clarify one other aspect that is somewhat related. For the record, I did not personally create the PDFs of The New Soldier. I purchased them. I chose to make my copies available to my readers for free. I also chose not to reveal any details of where I purchased them. Selling someone else's copyrighted work is a slightly more serious matter than sharing a copy. And I think the seller could face possible legal consequences that I would not.
While I am freely distributing a work to which Kerry holds a copyright, I am neither benefitting financially, nor am I causing him financial harm. The book is not being sold at retail, Kerry has seen to that, so the copies I am giving away are not depriving him of royalties. The only harm Kerry could claim is that by distributing the text of his book, I am negatively impacting his chances of wining the presidential election. I somehow suspect that is an argument they don't want to make.
UPDATE: Any doubt I had about posting the PDFs has been removed.

That means that ad and every other ad. I don't believe we ought to have 527s. I think they're bad for the system. I frankly thought we'd gotten rid of it when I signed McCain-Feingold" campaign finance reform.It is disturbing to think that Bush signed the campaign finance reform bill with no clear understanding of what the bill meant. The rise of 527s has not come as a surprise to many others.
I have no doubt that Bush understood the effect McCain-Feingold would have vis a vis 527 groups. His statement to the contrary is most likely intended to provide cover for the hypocrisy of calling for an end to the actions of the monster he helped to create.
But Bush's call to end all 527 group advertising does pose an interesting challenge to the Kerry Campaign. As one Powerline reader put it
The obvious segue is to point out that Kerry has made no such gesture concerning the MoveOn.org ads or the Michael Moore movie....And it's my guess that when Bush's call for civility is discussed on the radio and tv talks shows, this discrepancy will be hammered home: Kerry has only called for an end to the attacks on Kerry.

A Vietnam veteran who served with Senator John Kerry in a Swift boat group broke a 35-year silence this weekend to back Mr. Kerry's version of events from one of their missions together...I guess this puts an end to the "they didn't serve with Kerry" defense. How convenient for them.
According to the Times, William B. Rood was the skipper of one of the three boats on the mission on which Kerry earned his Silver Star. Mr. Rood decided to share his story after being called by Kerry. The Times notes that Rood was one of two veterans that Kerry called a part of an effort to counter the charges made by members of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. There is no identification of or further mention of the other veteran Kerry contacted. One can only surmise that this individual declined to give a statement in support of Kerry.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of voters have a favorable opinion of Kerry's military service while 36% have an unfavorable view. Thirty-nine percent (39%) believe Kerry is telling the truth about his experiences in Vietnam while 31% believe he is exaggerating the truth and 15% believe he is lying.If I'm reading this right (see disclaimer above) 8% of voters who have a favorable view of Kerry's Vietnam record believe he is either exaggerating or outright lying.

When the storm hit, I was in the supermarket with both kids. We stood outside under the roof with our basket full of grocery bags until there was a break in the downpour. We made it to the car and loaded kids and bags before the rain cut loose again. I'll update this later since I can't post it anyway. The laptop of course works on its battery, but the wireless router and cable modem need power. The backlit keys on the 17 inch powerbook are nice though probably killing the battery. Yup battery at 74% so keyboard lights are shut off.
3:30 The rain has let up and the storm seems to have passed. The groceries have been brought in and put away. The kids are watching a dvd on the wife's laptop. Still no power.
4:00 Power is restored. Laptop batter which had reached a low of 64% while reading PDF of The New Soldier is back up to 66% and climbing. Backlit keys are on!
4:11 Sky has gotten very dark again.

Progress has been very slow of late. When we made the decision to reside the entire house it was more cost effective to have our contractor remove the existing siding than to have the siding guys do it. So they focused on that for a while.
There has been some progress. The removed an existing wall in the house and replaced it with what will the wall of the new bedroom. But, because of the state of the addition they have not opened up the door yet to keep the children. Something about all the dangerous tools lying about and the fact that there are no windows just big holes in the walls. I guess they thought that would be a problem or something.
As it stands now, the house is 99% ready for siding - the contractor who was on vacation last week will be back - so the next two weeks
should damn well better see some serious progress. When this starts happening, I'll break out the digital camera and start posting some more photos.
Thanks for asking.
UPDATE: The prize turned out to be take out from my favorite Chinese restaurant.

:Eyewitness accounts of officers, sailors and one medical doctor (who treated a "wound" Senator Kerry allegedly suffered from enemy fire) refute Senator Kerry's version of events in a number of instances. Questions of fraud, false official statements and abuse by Senator Kerry must be answered. Specifically, the Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts awarded to Senator Kerry during the period 2 December 1968 to 17 March 1969 appear to be based upon Senator Kerry's false official statements, distortions of fact and subornation. The evidence and testimony compiled in Exhibit 2 may oblige the Secretary of the Navy to revoke Senator Kerry's awards.It will be interesting to see how/if the Department of Defense, the Navy and the Kerry Campaign respond.
A second and equally important matter concerns Senator Kerry's actions while serving as a commissioned officer in the inactive Naval Reserve. Dishonorable and possibly unlawful actions by Senator Kerry during the early 1970s – actions that manifestly benefited a foreign power with which the U.S. was at war – are so grievously damaging to the dignity, honor and traditions of the U.S. Navy and the American republic that the Secretary of the Navy may be compelled to revoke Senator Kerry's awards.
This complaint and request for investigation is based on the public statements of U.S. Navy flag officers, commissioned officers and sailors. Combat veterans and career naval professionals have staked their personal honor and lives to correct the record and reveal the full, complete and accurate history of the events Senator Kerry has repeatedly leveraged for personal political gain since 1970. In the least, the U.S. Navy and the Department of Defense owe a full investigation to all those who fought and died for this country.

In our opinion, and from our experience, there is nothing in South Vietnam which could happen that realistically threatens the United States of America. And to attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom, which those misfits supposedly abuse, is to us the height of criminal hypocrisy.So far I have only read the introduction. I hope to get into the text tomorrow. Then of course there is the Epilougue
if you read carefully the President's last speech to the people of this country, you can see that he says and says clearly, "but the issue, gentlemen, the issue is communism, and the question is whether or not we will leave that country to the Communists or whether or not we will try to give it hope to be a free people." But the point is they are not a free people now, and we cannot fight communism all over the world. I think we should have learned that lesson by now.

A television ad that has aired in three key battleground states and a new book have created a political furor over John F. Kerry's Vietnam War record, calling into question his character, credibility and a central tenet of his campaign — that his combat experience helps qualify him to be president.Read that lead again and savor it. It is just about the only unvarnished statement of fact contained in the entire story.
The ad, the book and the people behind them have become staples of conservative talk shows and Internet sites. The claims — that Kerry lied about his war experiences, didn't deserve his medals and betrayed soldiers everywhere by protesting the war after serving in it — also have been recited in the mainstream media, along with denials of the allegations.One of the reasons the story has been a mainstay of conservative outlets such as talk radio and weblogs is that the "mainstream" media has basically ignored the story.
What military documentation exists and has been made public generally supports the view put forth by Kerry and most of his crewmates — that he acted courageously and came by his Silver Star, Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts honestly. This view of Kerry as war hero is supported by all but one of the surviving veterans who served with him on the two boats he commanded.Given the amount of detail they give to back up this assertion I think they should have rewritten this a s a question. What military evidence exists and has been made public and generally supports the view put forth by Kerry...?" Would that evidence be the action reports that Kerry wrote? I would argue the point about critics who didn't actually serve on the boats with Kerry but that fallacy is so obvious it is not necessary.
None of the critics quoted in the ad actually served on the boats with Kerry. Some of them also have given contradictory accounts and offered conflicting recollections.
But what actually happened about 35 years ago along the remote southern coast of Vietnam remains murky. Some of Kerry's own recollections over the years, as presented in two biographies and many interviews, also have been inconsistent.This would be a perfectly valid argument if the first time Kerry had told the Christmas in Cambodia story had been 35 years after the fact. The problem according to the Times is that Kerry's recollection of events has been "inconsistent." Actually Kerry has fairly consistently recalled the same events that never happened and tried to use them for political advantage for 35 years. Kerry did not misremember a life defining event that had been seared into his memory. He mad it up out of whole cloth. Its not as though Kerry was claiming in a Senate speech that he was in Cambodia on January 11 and it was actually January 22. He chose Christmas Day because it made the story more poignant.
The times goes into some depth to try to explain away the main charged of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. And though some of their assertions strain credulity they keep the direct attacks on the vets to a minimum.
First they tackle the issue of challenge to Kerry's first Purple Heart. They offer up a fairly lame justification that seems to support the SwiftVets case more than Kerry's.
Navy rules during the Vietnam War governing Purple Hearts did not take into account a wound's severity — and specified only that injuries had to be suffered "in action against an enemy."It's o.k. that Kerry got an award he didn't deserve. Everybody was doing it.
Self-inflicted wounds were awarded if incurred "in the heat of battle, and not involving gross negligence." Kerry's critics insist his wound would not have qualified, but former Navy officials who worked in the service's awards branch at the time said such awards were routine.
A Times review of Navy injury reports and awards from that period in Kerry's Swift boat unit shows that many other Swift boat personnel won Purple Hearts for slight wounds of uncertain origin.
The Times' pass at spinning the Silver Star "No Man Left Behind" story rests on the contention that Kerry was not the sole author of the after-action report that lead to the citation. The times notes that
the anti-Kerry faction has not definitively proved that Kerry was the sole source of the Bronze Star battle account. And according to Elliott, Kerry's immediate commander, Swift boat officers involved in battles normally were involved in drafting the after-action report, which in this case described repeated fire from small arms and automatic weapons.That's probably reasonably fair though irrelevant statement. It could likewise be said that the Kerry campaign has not provided definitive proof that there was another officer involved in drafting the report.
For the third SwiftVet Charge, the LA Times apparently didn't get the memo that even Kerry admits he was not in Cambodia on Christmas Eve 1969 and tried to lay out the time line to make Kerry's Holdiay possible.
There are no after-action reports that pinpoint where Kerry's boat was in late December 1968. But a file from Navy archives in Washington obtained by The Times provides support for both sides.The only thing missing was an explanation of the lucky CIA hat.
An entry in a monthly summary of engagements for December 1968 reports that on Christmas Eve, "PCF-44 fired on junk on beach. Results: 1 sampan destroyed."
The entry was made by then-Capt. Roy Hoffmann, the overall commander of Swift boats and now one of Kerry's most vocal critics. There is no written location for the engagement, but it contains a coordinate used by the military to plot locations. The coordinate points to an area about 40 to 50 miles south of the Cambodian border, near an island called Sa Dec.
The entry also notes that the incident took place about 7 a.m., which would have given Kerry's boat another 12 hours to make it to the Cambodian border by nightfall. At a cruising speed of 23 knots, the boat could have covered the distance in about two hours.
This would be consistent with the contention of Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan that Kerry was in Sa Dec but reached the Cambodian border later the same day.

So first you get Soros-funded Bush-the-monster ads. Now you get the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad (and book) accusing Kerry of falsifying his military record.
The Democrats have reacted to the Swift boat vets with anguished and selective indignation. This assault was bankrolled by rich Bush supporters, they charge. No kidding. Where else would Swift boat vets get the money? With the exception of the romantic few who marry millionaire heiresses, Swift boaters are generally of modest means. Where are they going to get the cash to be heard? Harold Ickes?

The National Science Foundation
ANNCR: The National Science Foundation – On Today's Congressional Moment
The relationship between the Federal government and the scientific community has grown from the earliest days of the Republic, with the Founders recognizing in the Constitution the need "to promote the progress of science."
Yet it wasn't until after World War II that the federal government became heavily involved in scientific research. Many major discoveries were made, directly related to the war effort, such as the atomic bomb, radar, and penicillin. As a result, there was broad support for expanded government funding for science.
Senator Harley Kilgore of West Virginia and Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington introduced proposals for establishing a National Science Foundation. Several years of debate ensued, yet behind the differences was broad agreement within Congress about the fundamental importance of scientific research in the post-War era. And on May 10th, 1950, President Harry Truman signed legislation passed by Congress creating the National Science Foundation.
The NSF does not conduct research of its own, but makes grants to qualified educational and nonprofit institutions, and it now supports 20% of the federally funded basic research conducted at America's colleges and universities.
Yet over the years the NSF's civilian research has lost out to the much larger federal commitment to military research. The challenge of maintaining America's technological edge in a world far more economically competitive than the Founders ever imagined - still remains.
STANDARD CLOSING: This is Lee Hamilton. Congressional decisions impact all our lives. To find out more about how Congress works, or to get involved in your government, visit the Center On Congress Web site at congress.indiana.edu.

Posts: n/a
This is only my second pregnancy. I thought I felt movement way early this time but I was wrong. I just started actually feeling movement in the last week and I'm almost 18 weeks. Felt my first around 15.
I have an anterior placenta. They won't tell you placental location unless its in a dangerous spot. It's really not important whether its anterior or posterior, at least not to the baby anyway. My placenta is anterior and on the left. Most of the movements I feel are on the right side but I feel slight flutters on the left.
I wouldn't worry unless you aren't feeling movement after 22 weeks. I also feel my uterus a couple of inches below my belly button

This one big deal might make TrackR the tracking device to have
TrackR has a pair of new Bluetooth device trackers for CES this year, the Pixel and Wallet 2.0, but it's a deal to dramatically extend its crowd-based location service that's most interesting. The company, known for its keychain and wallet tracking dongles that communicate via Bluetooth with your smartphone, has cut a deal with Brocade to enhance indoor and outdoor location services. It could mean significantly more chance of finding your lost keys, cellphone, or cat.

(If you didn't know, image above is sort of a cartoon. )
Two bloody thumbs up for Beowulf on the Bloodsport Scale.
I am picturing the Greenlight meeting for Beowulf:
Robert Zemeckis: Hey, I want to do a $200m rated-R cartoon with more dudity than 300 and some of the characters will speak in Flemish or dutch or something.
Paramount: Nobody wants R-rated cartoons. Can you at least throw something loveable in it. And sneaking in teens don't like foreign languages.
Zemeckis: Angelina Jolie plays a hot dragon chick.
Paramount: OK. So we got loveable covered. But no one likes R-rated cartoons.
Zemeckis: I'll make two of the characters good looking enough so you can sucker everyone into thinking it's live-action.
Paramount: Fine. Blood. Live action. Can work with that. But what about the nerds?
Neil Gaiman: Hey, I'm helping to write this thing, and I write those comic books that everyone claims they've read but I know no one really understands.
Roger Avary: I'm taking all the blood I didn't use in Pulp Fiction and just pouring it all over the top of this.
Paramount: Is there enough man-yelling?
Zemeckis: I promise the main character will yell I AM BEOWULF with blood all over his face at least 3 times. Oh, did I tell you I'm throwing in just a touch of anti-Christian blasphemy?
Paramount: Awesome. R-rated anti-christian full of naked butts cartoon that we won't market as a cartoon. PERFECT. Our jobs are safe again.
And in my opinion they should be. Especially cuz I saw this with Alge in 3-D IMAX MADNESS.
Rotten Tomatoes puts this film at 70%. Screw you critics. As a piece of tech it deserves much more than that. Story? Like a dog walking on its hind legs, points don't get taken off when the characters don't loook human, but just the fact that they look good enough some of the time to fool you into thinking everything's real? I'll take it.
Hell. . . isn't a half-naked cartoon dude screaming 'I AM BEOWULF' enough for you???

A female centric comedy with supernatural elements, Grace Under Pressure explores the perception of women and success.

Raheem Sterling aims to let skills do talking on Manchester City debut
Raheem Sterling will hope to justify the fuss as Manchester City begin their Barclays Premier League campaign at West Brom tonight.
The England international will be the chief focus of attention at The Hawthorns following his acrimonious £49m move to City from Liverpool over the summer.
Much of the headlines surrounding the 20-year-old in recent months have been negative and he will want to make a quick start in City colours to turn discussion back to his football.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini is confident he can do that and has been pleased with how quickly the player has fitted in during pre-season.
Pellegrini said: "He has settled in very well. He wants to come here, he wants to have new challenges. I don't think he deserves criticism about that.
"He is working very well and it is easy for good players to settle in a good team. I think we are going to have a very successful player this year."
Sterling is likely to be thrown straight into the action with Pellegrini having suggested that he may ease his four Copa America players, including star striker Sergio Aguero, back into action because of their summer exertions.
Pellegrini certainly adopted such an approach with Aguero after his injury-hit World Cup campaign last year, starting him on the bench for the first two games. It proved to be a sensible decision with Aguero going on to score 32 goals during a prolific season.
There could also be an opportunity for Wilfried Bony, who is now the only other senior out-and-out striker in the squad following the departure of Stevan Jovetic and imminent sale of Edin Dzeko.
Bony has made a slow start to his City career, scoring just twice since his £28m January move from Swansea.
Pellegrini said: "Bony is a very good player. He was very unlucky last season because he started with the African Nations Cup and after that he had an injury for about a month and a half. We have a squad and have to fight for four titles.
"I think Bony will be very important in that squad."
The trip to Tony Pulis' West Brom, followed by next week's clash with champions Chelsea, makes for a potentially tricky opening to the season for City.
Pellegrini said: "All the games in the Premier League are very difficult, especially when you start because everyone expects to have a good season. Playing away is not the same to starting at home but we are confident we are going to have a good game."
Meanwhile, West Brom boss Tony Pulis said: "I've always worked with the material I am given and that's always been my philosophy, to try to squeeze everything out of everybody.
"The club has a good structure and we haven't made too many changes but most things are in place."
Home and away, City have recorded seven consecutive wins against the Baggies.

Tag: Father's Day
In Honour of Fathers Who Choose to Be Dads
I will always remember the wise words of a young girl as she explained the names she used for her step-father and her father. She used Dad to refer to her step-father and Father to refer to her biological father, because "anyone can be a father; not everyone is a real dad." I thought of her innocent wisdom often during the years in which my own children ached for their father to choose to be a dad and to put them first. I write this letter on behalf of children who yearn for dads they can truly honour on Father's Day and who put them first every day.

I'll be travelling next month with my 88 year mom to Germany. While she can walk with assistance, I'll be taking a collapsible transporter style wheelchair to use most of the time. The flight is with Lufthansa Newark – Zurich, with unfortunately a change in Germany in both directions . We have used airport wheelchair service before and had no problems, in fact it was much smoother than I expected. (The airline is aware she will need assistance.)
My question is about the actual transporting of her wheelchair. I would assume it would get checked in with the luggage, then the airport wheelchair would be provided through security, etc. to the plane?
And the 2 "foot peddles" and the seat cushion she uses? Would I be better off to keep those items with me as hand luggage so they don't get lost? Any past experience/suggestions would be appreciated.

The population is sparsely distributed in the region, and thus the PCER building will not always be the site of educational courses. PCER is meant to be both a physical space for classes and a base for outreach projects. The principal outreach project in 2012 aims to spread bio-sand water filter technology to other rural communities in the Pantanal region. This goal will be accomplished through workshops at partnered schools taught by University of Michigan engineering undergraduates, graduate students, and graduates. The water filter technology was tested first at PCER; in the future, other technologies will be tested first at PCER before being spread to other areas through workshops at partnered schools in a similar manner.
In 2012, PCER is also launching a program in conjunction with a local school called Nazaré which aims to teach sustainability, technology, and English language through music. Read more here.

No ideas, mental blocks,
Is there such a thing as creative floss?
Muse has departed,
Leaves me broken-hearted.
What does a writer do when no words come?
What does a painter do when her brush doesn't run?
The more I think about feeling blocked,
The more the creativity is being locked.
People say, just write anyway,
Write anything, but what of my work?
My passion? Healing my hurts?
Inside me is a reason to be,
Outside is the way that I see.
What is it that stops my creative flow?
What must I do to unearth it and allow it to grow?
No-one wants to read bland cardboard words,
Not even me and I type these caged birds.
What stops this bird from singing?
What stops these wings from stretching out?
Where must I put these leadened pencil tips?
Or this dewy octopus ink across the blank page?
What if all I had was this moment, right now?
What would be, the muse doing, and indeed how?
Writing this poem, no matter how much it does not flow,
Allowing the whimsical child within to be daft and play 'to a fro'.
What makes me think I need to write what helps others heal?
Perhaps sometimes I just need to write, so I can properly feel.
Is it okay to not be inspiring?
What if the wisdom has gone into hiding?
This foggy day,
This cloudy sky,
I looked underneath the sofa on high,
I peeked around the surface of the tea I was drinking,
Was it coffee my muse missed or was this just thinking?
Should I write this poem without any edits?
Let my mistakes be revealed and give my inner child some credit?
Can I look beneath this cloudy mind?
Is she bored, or just being unkind?
Will I laugh, will I cry?
What must I do to awaken on high?
There's nothing to do,
Nothing to say,
Nothing to give,
Nothing to stay,
Nowhere to go,
No place to be,
What if all I'm to do,
Is simply be me?
And this is okay,
A time to play.
No need to be perfect,
No need to be right,
No need to be wise,
Or to light up someone's dark night.
Maybe dark nights are okay,
And so too are skies filled with desolate grey.
Why must I help?
Why must I heal?
Perhaps it's okay now to simply feel.

To know more about breast anatomy, we should learn about the body system as a whole structure. But it would be very complicated, whereas we can study it simpler. The breast is composed of fat and connective tissue, besides there are lobes, lobules, ducts, and lymph nodes in it. Lobe is the part of the breast that produces milk. Each lobe consists of several lobules. Breast also contains blood vessels, lymph vessels and lymph nodes. Together with the arterial blood vessels and capillaries, blood contains oxygen and nutrients flow in breast tissue.
From anatomy of the breast, we can see that breast weight is supported and formed by connective tissue and ligaments while the fat in the breast will determine its size. Nerves contained therein function gives the sensation in the breast. Also, breasts do not have muscle tissue. To separate the breast with ribs, there is a separate muscle which is right at the bottom of breast. Breast always develop in puberty, and these conditions do not change throughout life. Just like brain anatomy and function it also growing by times. Starting from pregnancy, the breasts undergo significant changes due to stimulation of the hormone estrogen. It would seem to increase the size, and color of the areola around nipples becomes darker.
Although each woman's breasts are different, the amount of the milk-producing tissue is almost the same. So, regardless of physical size smaller or larger, the quantity of milk produced by each mother breastfeeding remains the same. Breast health condition is one that must be considered. One of the risks in the breast is likely to have an infection of the tissues, especially during lactation called mastitis. In addition to watch is the appearance of a lump or mass in the breast, which can be classified as cancerous or not. So, learn more about it by knowing breast anatomy.

Fedora will be using keys signed by Microsoft to do UEFI secure boot
Well, I personally find it disturbing (on Free-Software promotion and principle approach... not to mention money arriving at Microsoft's pocket) but....
The juicy bit:
I admit I don't totally understand all of it, but I don't like it. Playing by MS's rules only encourages them and makes their way seem ligit. This is a really good reason to support Linux vendors and buy your computers from them. Though I do realize a lot of people will want/need Windows atleast for dual boot for various reasons.
There is no money arriving in Microsoft's pocket, the key is bought from Verisign. Microsoft is in here only for one reason. Any board out there that comes with Secure Boot implemented will already have the Microsoft key in the ROMs, so using that key to sign your own bootloader/kernel is the logical thing to do to get maximum compatibility with all boards. This is not playing by Microsoft's rules.
Also, see it from a commercial view. Fedora is a testbed for RHEL. Not long in the future Secure Boot will be a requirement in large companies and Red Hat has to support it or they will have serious problems.

Manami tells Amu that she dreams of being a florist some day. While Amu is leaving, Lulu de Morcerf shows up to see Manami. The next day, Amu brings Manami cookies for thanks when Miki and Su sense a Guardian Egg (Ran doesn't sense it, but plays along). Amu meets Lulu, and she learns that Lulu can see Guardian Characters. Ikuto sees Lulu walking up the Easter building steps and, after she passes him, stares at her with disdain. Later, Lulu meets Manami again and turns her Heart's Egg into a ? Egg using a special ruby necklace. The Guardian Characters sense this, and the Guardians go to Manami, who Character Transforms into Flower Dream. Amu transforms into Amulet Heart. She almost gets squashed by Manami, but gets powered up pom-poms to deflect the attack. After reasoning with Manami, her ? Egg turns into an X Egg, allowing a stronger Open Heart to purify her. At the end, Amu is with the Guardians, wondering if Lulu was connected to Easter and the events.

The Kingdome, officially the King County Domed Stadium, was the home of Mariners Baseball for 22 and ½ seasons, from 1977 through June 1999. Built on the site where CenturyLink Field is now located, the Kingdome was the first domed stadium in the American League, and over the years served as the home of the Mariners, Seahawks (NFL 1976-1999), Sonics (NBA) and Sounders (NASL). The building was owned and operated by King County.
The dome itself was the largest thin shell concrete roof in the world, spanning over 660 feet in diameter and rising 250 above the playing surface. Construction was completed March 27, 1976, at a cost of $67 million.
For baseball, the Kingdome was considered a hitter's park. The dimensions were short, the ball carried well in the controlled indoor climate (68-72 degrees), and the hard Astroturf field benefited hitters as well.
The first regular season game in Mariners history was played on April 6, 1977, when the Mariners lost to the California Angels, 7-0. Seating capacity for baseball at Kingdome varied over the years, but was always close to 59,000. The 1979 MLB All-Star Game was played in the Dome, when first baseman Bruce Bochte singled for the first hit by a Mariners player in the midsummer classic. The National League won 6-5.
Many memorable moments and games and in team history took place in the Kingdome, including the legendary 1995 season when the Mariners won their first division championship in a tiebreaker game, then beat the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series. The Mariners success season led to the eventual end of the Kingdome's lifespan, with first stages of development of a new ballpark, and eventually a new football stadium.
The final MLB game in the Kingdome was played June 27, 1999, when the Mariners beat the Texas Rangers 8-3. Three weeks later, the first game at Safeco Field was played.
The Kingdome was imploded on March 26, 2000 24 years after it was completed.
Facts and Figures
First Sports Event: April 9, 1976 - Soccer match between the Seattle Sounders vs. New York Cosmos (with Pele)
Playing Surface: Astro Turf - Original surface was replaced twice (midseason 1983 and again prior to the 1991 season)
Outfield Dimensions: In 1991, home plate was moved 10 feet toward the first base dugout and the wall was moved back to make the dimensions fairer.

Notes of Interest:
The Seattle Mariners moved from the Kingdome across the street to Safeco Field in the middle of the 1999 baseball season. The Inaugural Game was played on July 15, 1999, the first game after the All-Star break, before a sold out crowd of 44,604. Over the years, the ballpark has become regarded as a great place for baseball - for fans and players alike.
Safeco Field features a unique retractable roof, which covers the field and grandstands like an umbrella but does not enclose the park, preserving an open-air environment. It extends or retracts in approximately 15 minutes, and has been in use for all or part of 21% of Mariners games through the 2016 season. It is located just a block south of the old Kingdome site, where CenturyLink Field now sits.
The park was considered a much fairer test of baseball, slightly favoring pitchers (vs. hitters) and putting a premium on defense.
The current seating capacity is 47,943, with nearly 21,000 seats on the main level; 3,700 bleacher seats; and premium seating on the main, club and suite levels. The park is extremely "ambient," allowing fans to walk around the park while still following the action on the field. The Pen area in left and center field is a popular area for fans to congregate before and during games.
In 2001, the Mariners and the City of Seattle hosted the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, with eight Mariners on the American League team that won, and showcasing the Puget Sound region.
Facts and Figures
First Game: July 15, 1999 - The Mariners dropped a 3-2 decision to the San Diego Padres.
Playing Surface: Natural grass - designed for the Northwest climate, a blend of Kentucky bluegrass and ryegrass.
Outfield Dimensions: In 2013, the outfield wall was moved in by four feet from the left field corner to the tunnel in right center field, except in deep left center where it was moved in up to 17 feet. In addition, the hand-operated scoreboard in the left field corner, which was in play, was moved back and is no longer in play.

text: Ok - seems reasonable. So basically the Bachelors is preferred, but not "required" - kind of like in my job field as a datbase administrator. The degree is good, but if you know you job, you know your job. Well, you are in a pretty good area - Loudoun county is close enough to DC that you will likely have a pretty large selection of folks to choose from.

As a wedding photographer I get asked many questions by couples about the service I provide, what to expect etc, so I have decided to create a page to answer any questions you may have. If you can't see the answer to a question you have, then please do not hesitate to contact me. As time moves on I will continue to update the page. In the mean time please feel free to browse through the questions & answers.
One of the most frequent questions I get asked is " where are you based?". Well I am based in Tiverton, Devon and I work from home. I have lived in Tiverton for about seven years and share a home with my partner & daughter. Tiverton is in a great location to service the Southwest as I am only 5 minutes from the North Devon Link road and 15 minutes from The M5.
Q – Can you service the whole of the Southwest?
A – Yes is the short answer, I have no problem providing wedding photography for all of Devon, Somerset, Cornwall and beyond. I regularly travel out of the county to photograph weddings.
Q – Will you meet up for a pre-wedding consultation?
A – It is always a good idea to meet up before the wedding day to discuss your requirements. I usually recommend to meet up at the venue so we can have a look round and discuss any ideas you may have. It also gives me a chance to take notes and start to formulate ideas.
Q – My fiance is nervous about being in front of the camera and worries this will show in the images. Can you offer a pre-wedding shoot or engagement shoot?
A – An engagement shoot/pre-wedding shoot is a good idea if there are any nerves about being in front of the camera. There is no pressure on the day so you can relax. We usually agree to meet at a favorite location and talk through some ideas. It's really informal and by the end you will be totally relaxed and comfortable about being in front of the camera. The shoot usually takes up to an hour and a half and so it's a good time to get to know each other and get use to being in front of the camera. It's also a nice addition to the overall wedding experience. If you would like to order a engagement album to accompany the shoot, that's fine.
Q – What type of wedding photography do you offer?
A – I offer a fusion of documentary and traditional style wedding photography. If you take a look at the wedding blogs you will get an idea of the style I offer. I am always looking to capture the emotion of the day in the most natural and unobtrusive way I possibly can.
Q – We would like to go for some intimate bride & groom shots at a favorite location or nearby beauty spot, is this okay?
A – Absolutely, its always nice to take time out to do the romantic bride & groom shots. We would need to discuss your ideas in greater detail.
Q – Can I book you for half a day?
A – Yes you can. The hours have to be booked consecutively.
Q – Are there any time constraints on the full day package?
A – When you book me for the full day you get me from the bride getting ready, or from when you want me to start, through to the first dance. I usually stay for a short amount of time after the first dance to capture your family & friends joining you on the dance floor.
Q – Can you photograph the ceremony?
A – There are many different answers to this questions as the officials, vicars etc can be fickle. There are some who will let you photograph without any restriction, others who only allow a certain amount of shots, and others who will not allow any photography throughout the ceremony. Generally we are not allowed to photograph the actual signing of the register, a mock-up is set up after the signing. It is always best to check first to find out if there are any restrictions.
Q – Can you do group-shots?
A – Most couples want a few group-shots to include in an album or for the relatives. I would suggest keeping the group-shots to a maximum of about ten groups as each group can take up to ten minutes and in some cases longer, especially if an uncle has gone to find the bar! You also need to keep in mind that while I am photographing the group-shots I am unable to capture the more natural candid shots, unless of course you have decided to book an additional photographer.
Q – Do you still offer more traditional shots like signing the register, cutting of the cake etc?
A – Although my style of photography is reportage/candid/documentary I can also capture the more traditional shots such as a posed signing the register and cutting of the cake. The signing of the register is usually set up as the registrar/ vicar will not allow any photographs to be taken of the actual signing. I can also pose other traditional shots as well as capturing a more natural spontaneous image.
Q – Are you covered by insurance for any eventuality?
A – I have public liability and indemnity insurance.
Q – What happens if it rains?
A – This is something that worries most. Usually there is a break in the rain so we get a chance to go outside and do some shots. I also have some umbrellas. If it's non stop raining then we can do the shots inside. I am fully equipped with the necessary tools for the job, so you don't need to worry.
Q – We would like to have our wedding photographs in an album, can you supply an album?
A – I do a range of high end top quality digitally printed wedding albums in a range of sizes and different finishes. I will design an album with a selection of images you have chosen. Once you are happy with the design and layout I will place the order.
If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Talk to you soon

Using technology to deliver evidence-based, behavior change interventions targeting substance use disorders and related issues (including HIV and Co-occurring disorders) may enable widespread dissemination of such interventions to an array of audiences in diverse settings. The pioneering work conducted by our research group has led to the identification of innovative and efficacious technology-delivered interventions targeting substance abuse treatment among adults and adolescents, HIV prevention for substance-abusing adults and adolescents, as well as substance abuse prevention among children, adolescents and young adults. The Overall Aim of the proposed P30 Center (Center for Technology and Health [CTH]) is to integrate expertise across multiple disciplines and provide an infrastructure to enhance the quality, pace of achievement and impact of our team's innovative scientific research and development activities that systematically combine science-based behavior change interventions with state-of-the-art technologies to create, empirically test and disseminate technology-based interventions targeting substance use disorders and related issues. The Center will achieve this Aim via 4 Cores. (1) The Scientific Core will serve as a resource to Center investigators to enhance the quality, efficiency and impact of their research projects. This will include establishing an interdisciplinary team of advisors, each a leader in their field, sharing important resources, integrating results and methods across projects, and examining unexplored empirical questions. (2) The Dissemination and Implementation Core will disseminate integrated project methods and findings to a broad audience, with consult from an expert Board, and serve as a centralized resource providing knowledge, and facilitating access to technology-based behavior change interventions targeting substance use disorders and related issues (via online """"""""toolkits"""""""" of interventions and a """"""""roadmap"""""""" for their adoption in community systems). We will also train the next generation of researchers in this field. (3) The Pilot Project Core will support the development of a """"""""pipeline"""""""" of new areas of research that could then progress to more rigorous empirical testing via external funding mechanisms after the pilot phase. This Core will support novel pilot projects that offer considerable promise to have a transformative impact on the field. (4) The Administrative Core will provide programmatic leadership that ensures successful coordination of the activities across Cores and an infrastructure to enhance synergy among our expert team.
Empirically supported, technology-based interventions (e.g., computer, web, mobile devices) targeting substance abuse and HIV enable widespread reach of evidence-based care and offer the potential to have a marked public health impact. The proposed unique Center will serve as a national resource for researchers, technologists, consumers, service providers, service payors, and policy makers interested in the development, evaluation, dissemination and implementation of technology-based behavioral interventions for substance abuse and related issues.
