I thought this artice was pretty well balanced so I sent the following message to David Carr:
"David, thanks for your balanced report on Mrs. Palin. Conservatives don't expect praise only from the media, but we do want truth and we want all candidates held to similar standards and vetting. I am grateful that your report appears to meet these criteria. Even if not all can agree with Sarah's political or social positions, isn't it clear that that she is a remarkable woman, probably representative of many, many others who balance work and family. Can't we all celebrate that?"
He responded almost immediately with the following:
" I think her choices — with five hungry kids, I personally would have never fired the chef — will resonate huge with the public. we have not seen the likes of her in national politics.
thanks for kind note."
Perhaps some writers, even those with the "Slimes," can be encouraged with positive responses when warranted. Remember the Bible says that a kind word turns away wrath.
Go Sarah!!!!!
"We have not seen the likes of her in national politics."
Indeed. Even the Times is forced to realize we have a candidate of enormous appeal and authenticity.
Dang. Just dang. He ADMIRES her.
He may even has an inkling of her as a probable historic, long remembered figure.
This is really not going to go over well among the chattering classes. I know many who will choke on their coffee tomorrow morning, around Eastern Time.

Customer Reviews
- Review by Abdul 11/29/2016
- i've used it it is excelent gives you much energy that you cant stop working out sure will be using it again
Excellent Product and amazing service from Sporter
- Review by Anthony 8/28/2016
- Just received MP creatine from Sporter on 24th August. had one serving right away before workout. The product is tasteless hence it is best to have it with some juice ( I had with mango) or your pre-workout shake. Mixes well and it started doing its job from the very first day. After three days I feel an amazing pump in my body and the muscles feel full and tight. Definitely getting this again.
Thank you Sporter for the amazing service. pleasantly surprised to see a Labrada Nutrition RTD along with the package. Your customer service team is also amazing and respond to queries as soon as possible. Definitely having more orders from you'll.
Cheers and keep up the good work.

- Definitely a solid product that works as advertised. Make sure to follow the instruction around water consumption. It does mix a little gritty, but added to the combat powder, makes it much better.
This Creatine is good!
- Review by msj3854 8/5/2015
- This Creatine is good! I take it with my pre and post workout drinks, it is truly unflavored. It does have a little gritty texture to it but I just keep stirring my shaker as I drink it. I can definitely feel and see deference using this product regularly!
I have not had any problems with the creatine and would recommend it.
- Review by dwebster1708 7/14/2015
- The creatine is effective and mixes well with pre-workouts. The powder does not effect the taste of the pre-workout (I mix 1 scoop with whatever pre-workout I use for the day). I have not had any problems with the creatine and would recommend it.
Mixes well and easily.
- Review by abbou23 6/9/2015

Stock Graphic >> Texture - Liquid and washed textures 56505 by Guerillacraft @ CreativeMarket
File Size: 96.66 MB; Tileable: Yes; Requirements: Adobe CS3+; DPI: 300 DPI; Vector: Yes.
Create dirty and washed off effects with these vector textures and photoshop brushes!
As a part-time t-shirt designer, I like experimenting with drain and grungy effects in my design. Once, I looked at my old dirty t-shirt, that I have worn only for gardening and i got an idea!
- Make textures with these old dried liquid marks!"
After longer time, i finished my idea and now I am proud to present my ?Liquid and Washed" set, that contains.
- 12 beautiful hand-made vector textures made of dried liquids on transparent plastic (brushes are without secondary (paper or etc.) texture, so you have perfect original dried liquid texture!)
- 18 great Photoshop brushes for washed out look (For CS6 and CC owners some brushes are over 4000 px! ЁC so it really detailed!), for CS5 and lower version, I created resized set of these ones, so its size is to 2500 px
(1 .AI file with 12 vector textures, 2 ABR brus sets - one for CS6+, one for CS5-)
Well, with these set you can make very attractive design and achieve new effects. You can use it for t-shirt design or illustration. ItЎдs very useful for adding old touch to your logos or mockups presentations.
Are you a photographer? You can use it for ?vintaging" your photos, too!
If you are looking for some surface to apply these texture, look at my Vintage fabrics textures! It works together very well!
Or you can download my ?Found textures" pack for free from my site! It contains 33 detailed textures in PDS
So, it Ўдs pretty much info. LetЎдs purchase it and have fun!
I wish you best results with it!

New information and communication technologies are radically transforming the way that information and knowledge are disseminated and shared around the world. The digital divide between rich and poor countries is still persisting: more than 70% of the world's Internet users are based in Europe and North America, where—in addition—more than 90% of the data on Africa are stored. Similar gaps persist between urban and rural areas and between men and women, especially in developing countries. Rural women usually have less access than men to information and new technologies (Huyer & Mitter 2003). Lack of information and access to education related to IT also limits women's influence in their communities and their ability to participate in decision-making. When assessing the opportunities and risks of new technologies, it is essential to give attention to gender differences and to ensuring that women's voice is heard so that technological developments can be sustainable in the way that best prevents them from increasing inequalities. Particularly gender factors are crucial to develop a sustainable concept of IT evolution. Our aim in this article is to show how the concept of gender and IT can be integrated in a wider conceptual framework of sustainability. First, we will explain the concept of digital divide from a global perspective and the importance to understand the gender dimension within this conceptualization. Concerns about the disparities between industrialized and developing countries, especially with respect to Internet access and use, have touched off a worldwide debate about the existence of a global digital divide. From a domestic perspective at a national level or even at a regional level thinking about the European Union for instance, the term digital divide has shown to have powerful symbolic weight, and hence to be a useful tool with which to mobilize political support for government programmes designed to bridge the gaps between so called "information haves" and "information have-nots." The OECD defines the "digital divide" as "…the gap between individuals, households, business and geographic areas at different socio-economic levels with regard both to their opportunities to access information and communication technologies (ICTs) and to their use of the Internet for a wide variety of activities. The digital divide reflects various differences among and within countries." (OECD, 2001, p. 5). Access to information and communication technologies is considered as the first stage to become an "information have." However, access is not limited to the infrastructures: an important factor contributing to the digital divide is the extended and hegemonic use of English as access language in the Internet. This is one of the reasons for instance, why the Hispanics in the USA a lower access to the Internet show as Wilhelm (2000) argues. Moreover, even among "information haves" or in other words, among those having access to information through information technologies we can observe digital gaps. DiMaggio and Hargittai (2001, p. 4) refers for instance to the ability to evaluate the quality of information: "By 'digital divide,' we refer to inequalities in access to the Internet, extent of use, knowledge of search strategies, quality of technical connections and social support, ability to evaluate the quality of information, and diversity of uses." This aspect is particularly related to the inequalities according to the educational level of the "information haves." Furthermore, when carried to the international level, the term "digital divide" arguably misconstrues the issue and is unduly pessimistic. For example, the term directs our attention to relative inequalities in the distribution of information age resources, when what really matters to the quality of life in a given country is its absolute level of resources and the efficacy of the institutional order in redistribution and social justice. Qureshi (2005, p. 1) refers to the results of a recent study about the digital divide showing that "it is access to information, services, and expertise through access to the network, combined with ICT skills that contribute to economic growth and a decrease in this gap." Instead of fixating on the existence of a divide, it would be far better to focus our attention on the "global digital opportunity," because that is what really confronts us today, an unprecedented opportunity to move swiftly up the path towards global digital development. From a gender perspective, it is important to improve the access of women, particularly women in underdeveloped countries and rural areas to knowledge and information through IT, but it is also important that women participate in the design and production of IT. We argue that the digital divide must consider also the gap regarding IT shaping. Shaping IT means nowadays in much extent shaping society and nature and thus we plaid for a concept of sustainable information society with a participatory approach that allows the integration of excluded perspectives and moving beyond consumerism fixations taking local voices and the co-evolution of nature and society as a point of departure. Particularly women's perspectives excluded in great extent through gendering processes must be taken into account as they reinforce other embedded inequalities factors such as education or age. Understanding gendering processes within the shaping of IT and society is crucial in the concept of sustainable information society. However, IT development constitutes also a complex co-evolution of nature and society in different world regions. Particularly sustainability scholars have attempted to define these both basic co-interacting spaces. In the next section, we show an overview of the basic assumptions of sustainability that have lead to a more focused concept of sustainable information society.

My husband and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary this past weekend! Can you believe it's been two years already? God is good!
We were very blessed to be offered complimentary stay at the Intercontinental to celebrate our anniversary and we had a fabulous time! When the economy won't permit you to take a vacation, take a staycation!
We checked in to the hotel on Sunday afternoon and were very warmly greeted by the Concierge. Check-in was speedy and in less than 15 minutes we were ushered to our room which was a delightful, cosy cocoon we were going to call home for the next two days.
There was a wide selection of breakfast options both Continental and Nigerian but I went for a classic English. I am a lover of scrambled eggs and as simple as it sounds, not many people can actually make good scrambled eggs. These were perfect..as was everything else on the plate.
After breakfast, we lazied around in the room for a few hours before going to the gym to get a workout session in. Intercontinental's gym is well equipped and spacious not one of those makeshift gyms you find at some hotels. I think it can actually stand alone as a fully functional gym, they even have personal trainers on hand...
My husband ordered the salmon and I had the lamb chops...both meals were delicious! I'm not just saying that because it was free, trust me, the chef, whoever he is, is top notch!
I have stayed in several hotels in Lagos and this has been my best one so far! I guess they don't call themselves "Nigeria's first 5 star hotel" for nothing!
Peace & Love,

Boeing's new 787 has an official challenger. Airbus' major shareholders yesterday approved the launch of the new A350.
The two global airplane giants will now go head-to-head with new jet programs in overlapping market segments. The emerging battle will dominate commercial aerospace for the next five to 10 years and should determine world leadership in the business.
"The A350 compares very favorably with the 787," said Airbus Chief Executive Gustav Humbert in a videotaped statement. "The A350 is bigger, flies further and is cheaper to operate."
Airbus listed 140 "firm commitments" for the airplane and said it would soon turn those into orders. Noël Forgeard, chairman of European Aeronautic Defence & Space (EADS), parent of Airbus, said he expects to have 200 firm orders on the books by year end.

The A350 is scheduled to enter service by 2010. The first versions of the 787 will enter service two years earlier.
Boeing has 174 firm orders plus 99 publicly announced commitments to buy.
The green light for the A350 came wrapped with an offer from EADS not to draw on any European government launch loans to pay for the project through next year.
This offer was ostensibly to give the United States and the European Union more time to negotiate their dispute over subsidies to the airplane makers, now before the World Trade Organization.
The offer got nowhere. Both Boeing and the U.S. government immediately dismissed it.
EADS, the French-, German- and Spanish-owned company that owns 80 percent of Airbus, and Britain's BAE Systems, which owns 20 percent, formally approved the launch of two versions of the A350 at a board meeting yesterday.
Using the configuration data supplied by Airbus, the smaller A350-800 would compete directly with the 787; the larger A350-900 would go head-to-head with the 777-200.
However, Boeing's vice president of marketing, Randy Baseler, said Airbus is exaggerating its seating projections and that the larger A350 won't match up against the 777.
He claimed, instead, the plane's number of passengers would be comparable to that of the stretch version of the 787, the 787-9.
Airbus did not make executives available for interview ahead of a Paris news conference scheduled for today. Instead, EADS released a slick video showing Forgeard and Humbert commenting on the new airplane and its Boeing rival.
In the video, Forgeard and Humbert tried to anticipate and respond to the major questions swirling around the A350.
Forgeard, known for his provocative wit, came out with his own version of history of the rivalry with Boeing. He expressed annoyance with the conventional wisdom that the A350 is Airbus' reaction to the 787's success.
"You couldn't say anything that irritates me more," he said. "We owned the market of 250 to 300 seats. That had destroyed the career of the 767.
"So the 787 has been a reaction of Boeing to this kind of dominant position we have."
Forgeard and Humbert also declared Airbus can finish the A380 super-jumbo program (now six months behind schedule), handle the A400M military cargo-jet program, and still deliver the A350 on time.
The go-ahead for the A350 had been expected at the Paris Air Show in June. Humbert said the delay in the launch was caused by a formal review to ensure the company had the necessary resources and to study specific hiring needs.
"We are now fully confident we can manage all these programs," he said.
Not everyone was convinced Airbus can win this battle for the midsize-airliner market.
"Boeing really has put Airbus on the back foot for a change," said Dan Solon, European analyst with aviation consultancy Avmark.
"My guess is Airbus will do decently well, but Boeing has scooped up a great breadth of commitments," Solon said.
The 787 has won orders across a wide spectrum of customers.
"Airbus has an uphill struggle against the 787," said Doug McVitie, a former senior salesman at Airbus and now managing director of France-based consulting firm Arran Aerospace. "Boeing has got the aircraft right for the market," he said.
Still, if the Airbus sales team can turn in 200 firm orders by the end of the year — and if those orders look solid — that will go a long way to convince the doubters, and the 787 will have a formidable challenger.
In Paris, the A350 launch delay had been explained in part as a way to give more time to settle the trans-Atlantic dispute over aerospace-industry subsidies.
Boeing objects to European government loans financing new development programs. At its urging, the U.S. government last October unilaterally withdrew from a 1992 bilateral agreement that permitted the loans.
Airbus counters that Boeing gets indirect subsidies from defense projects, NASA funding and local incentives such as Washington state's tax package to win the 787's final-assembly work.
Yesterday, Forgeard insisted Airbus wants more loans for the A350 and that the European governments are ready to grant them.
But he said Airbus would hold off on them for a while, to encourage a settlement.
In his statement, Forgeard ignored the U.S. withdrawal from the 1992 agreement.
"We indeed applied for refundable loans as allowed by the 1992 agreement for the A350," he said. "But in order not to provoke anybody … we shall refrain from drawing money in 2006.
"Of course, we expect our competitor to do the same, to refrain from drawing money … during the same period," Forgeard added.
That condition was a non-starter for Boeing and the U.S. government.
"We take no comfort from any offer to postpone the actual payment of the launch aid these countries have already promised to provide," said Christin Baker, spokeswoman for the U.S. Trade Representative.
"The announcement of their commitment to back the A350 will affect Airbus' financing costs regardless of when they formally write the check."
Boeing issued a statement demanding again a "permanent and complete end to launch aid."

May 30th, 2008, 04:38 PM #1Anyone want to trade SkyMiles for AAdvantage Miles
I have 15,000 odd AAdvantage Miles and I really don't fly AA I fly delta, anyone want them in exchange for SkyMiles?
May 30th, 2008, 05:40 PM #2
How would you exchange them? I don't think either company lets you transfer miles (for free - they may for a fee). I would be interested, buut I don't know that it could be done.
Update: Looks like Delta charges $0.01 per mile (plus a $30 fee that is waived through tomorrow), so it would cost $150 to transfer 15,000. AA charges $150 + $30 to transfer 15,000. That's $330 in fees to swap 15,000 miles. Probably not worth it.
FWIW, AA used to allow you to redeem 15,000 miles for a short-haul trip. You might want to check to see if they still do. Could be a good use of the miles.
May 31st, 2008, 10:38 AM #3
yeah AA is getting cheap and won't let me redeem the 15,000 miles for anything except an upgrade on a full price coach ticket.
but who spends 1000 on a coach ticket when you can spend 1200 on a discounted first class ticket? And they only let me upgrade 1 leg of the trip.
When I looked at the pricing i thought it was 150 all together didn't realize it was 150 for each person lol.
June 7th, 2008, 04:52 PM #4
Another option for you...
Apply for a Citi AAdvantage card (no annual fee the first year) and spend $750 on it in the first six months and you'll get 25,000 bonus miles. With your existing 15,000 miles and the 25,000 new miles, you'll have enough miles for one first class or two coach Reduced Mileage Awards to a pretty good number of locations (including some Canada, Caribbean, and Mexican locations), or even one coach ticket to some locations in Latin America.

Idle Folly - Poem by Adeline Foster
Idle Folly
Down at the corner barroom
The fellows gibe and jest
For their homelife is too common,
Too vulgar for their taste.
So, when between their teeth
A tussle comes in view,
Each little snip of gossip
Is worth a month of chew.
Should any of their number
Admire a winsome dame,
Hi-ho, it's off to the sporting
And fast into the game.
They say she is a swimmer
Of Olympian behest;
Why sure, how else could she have
Developed such a - chest?
I wonder, would it tingle
Her ears if she ever knew
How, from that quick and single
Glance, her statistics grew?
And how they tease and kid him
Until his face is scarlet,
And how they gibe an bid him
Woo this pretty starlet.
They have him roped and haltered,
And they almost have him hitched;
I'm sure it's common knowledge,
So it wasn't me who snitched.
Why should we spoil their jolly fun
By being too concise,
So we'll neglect to point out
That she is another's wife.

April 2013
Poclad Article
Greetings POCLAD supporter!
It's been over a decade since we at POCLAD first proposed the idea that corporations were not merely exercising power, but that they were ruling us. At the time the phrase "corporate rule" seemed shocking to many people, and some accused us of using extreme language to make a point.
But for others, the phrase "corporate rule" resonated, and people like you helped POCLAD plant and nurture seeds across the country. We are pleased to report that those seeds that have germinated and grown to become a nascent democracy movement in the United States!
It is easy to see the problem. Recent events have underscored just how brazen corporate rule has become. The oligarchs and plutocrats are destroying the planet we depend upon for life itself, and creating a racist, sexist and class-oppressive world with the plunder.
In 2010, the Supreme Court literally legalized corporate bribery of political candidates in Citizens United vs. FEC. We are proud that POCLAD and several POCLAD-inspired allies filed an amicus brief in that case directly challenging "Corporate Personhood," the ridiculous legal doctrine that allows corporations to overturn democratically enacted laws.
Because we know what you know-- the problem goes beyond corporate money in elections. The reality is that there are solutions to every single problem facing our country--and we are certainly facing many. But these solutions are not being implemented because "We the People" do not control our own government.
Courts have overturned literally thousands of laws enacted to protect elections, workers, health and safety, and the environment. Unelected and unaccountable judges claim that these exercises of democratic authority are illegitimate, claiming that such laws violate the constitutional rights of corporations.
But there is hope!
The day the Supreme Court issued it's opinion, POCLAD and several key allies launched Move To Amend—a multi-racial and multi-ethnic coalition of groups and individuals from across the country to demand an amendment to OUR Constitution to make it clear that:
Artificial entities (for-profit corporations, non-profit corporations, unions, limited liability companies, partnerships, etc) do not have the inherent and unalienable constitutional rights of human persons under our Constitution; and
Money is not speech, and "We the People" have the right to pass campaign finance laws to protect the integrity of elections.
POCLAD was instrumental in launching the coalition, and continues to provide key support. POCLAD principal David Cobb serves on the National Leadership Team; Greg Coleridge is coordinating efforts across Ohio; Mike Ferner is helping in Toledo; Mary Zepernick is instrumental in MA. Although not engaged directly with the MTA coalition, Virginia Rasmussen is active in efforts to criminalize fracking in New York.
Here is our quick report to keep you abreast of just how broad—and deep—the Move To Amend movement has become in less than three short years:
Move To Amend's "We the People Amendment" was introduced in Congress on Feb 14, 2013 by Congresspersons Rick Nolan (MN) and Mark Pocan (WI). What a Valentine's Day!
Over 280,000 folks have already joined us at www.movetoamend.org, and more join every day. If you have not done so, we ask that you do so now! If you are already signed-up, please forward this email to your family and friends, and use your Facebook account to help grow the movement.
Several thousand groups are either have endorsed the coalition or are actively participating. Get your group to endorse at https://movetoamend.org/node/add/endorsing-organization
Over 500 communities have already passed a Resolution in support of our effort, and 25 communities have successfully placed the campaign on the ballot. We have won every election by overwhelming majorities, including in areas where conservatives dominate. To see a map of all this activity, go to http://movetoamend.org/resolutions-map
Move To Amend supporters have helped to pass Resolutions of support in 7 state legislatures.
We have put this question on the ballot in 25 local/county elections, allowing the people to weigh-in directly on the question of whether a constitutional amendment is needed. And we have won every single time!
Occupy the Courts! On the first anniversary of the Citizens United decision we collaborated with Occupy organizers across the country, helping to coordinate rallies at hundreds of federal courthouses across the country. Virginia Rasmussen of POCLAD spoke at the even in New York City, joined by Lawrence Lessig and Chris Hedges. Cornell West, Media Benjamin, Thom Hartman, Shahid Butter and many other movement leaders joined us in events across the country.
Move To Amend hosts a monthly skills building webinars, and participation is open to anyone and everyone! These trainings are an opportunity for folks to connect with Move to Amend nationally, to learn about organizing tools and campaign opportunities, and to connect with other MTA community organizers across the country. To get plugged in, go to http://movetoamend.org/webinars
We have published editorials, created videos, been interviewed on television and radio stations, and are traveling the country helping folks plug in to the effort POCLAD principal David Cobb travels tirelessly, and is on the road over 1Ž2 of his life. If you want him to come to your community, please email email@example.com
We collaborated with Ben Cohen (of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream) to construct and operate The Stampede, a giant traveling Rube Goldberg machine that travels the country as a public art spectacle, an information center, and a money stamping machine where people insert their dollar bills and receive them back imprinted with messages like "Corporations Aren't People and Money Isn't Speech" and "Not to Be Used for Bribing Politicians" and "The System Isn't Broken, It's Fixed." Order your own rubber stamps at https://movetoamend.org/stampede
And we are excited to share what we have planned in 2013!
Pledge to Amend
A campaign to make the call for abolishing corporate personhood and money equals speech a major issue in every single election. (NOTE: It was a MTA supporter who prompted Mitt Romney to exclaim, "Corporations are people, my friend."
National Listening Project
A nationwide canvass where we train our supporters to go door-to-door, inviting conversation on the topic of corporate rule and the need for a democracy movement in the United States. Oh, and we wont be asking for money in this canvass.
Reoccupy the Courts (McCuthceon vs. FEC)
In October the Supreme Court will hear oral argument on whether to remove the last remaining thread of campaign finance reform after shredding most of the protections afforded under the already too-weak the McCain-Fiengold law. We will help hold protests at federal courts across the country to help people express their outrage.
POCLAD participated in both US Social Forums (Atlanta 2007 and Detroit 2010), and we are excited that there will be third social forum in 2014 or 2015! And we will be actively involved again, and POCLAD principal David Cobb serves on the National Planning Committee.
Regional Convergences
In 2012 there were 7 regional convergences of Move To Amend held all over the country. This year there convergences held in Portland, OR; Madison, WI; Austin, TX and Charlotte, NC. (NOTE: The Madison convergence is nested within the Democracy Convention described below).
Democracy Convention II
Imagine engaged citizens from all across the country coming together in the city that launched the "Wisconsin Uprising." Well that's exactly what will be happening Aug 7-11, and POCLAD will be part of it. There will be workshops on the Move To Amend campaign, building a multi-racial movement, and on democratizing media, education, defense, and elections. The first Democracy Convention drew hundreds of folks. This one should be even bigger!
I hope you can see that we have learned from our sister and brothers in Latin America, Iceland, Europe (and from the Tea Party folks here). True social movements do not ask, "What is possible within the existing political and economic power systems?" They articulate their demands clearly and boldly, organize themselves, and force the existing power structure to address them.
We are under no illusion that a constitutional amendment will fix everything that is wrong with our social, political, economic and legal systems. But we think this is the sort of concrete and tangible action that can help spur the systemic change the country needs.
In light of everything we have done-- and all that we plan to do—it is without shame that we ask for your financial support. We don't get any money from large foundations, and 100% of our budget comes from people like you.
We in POCLAD hail these courageous citizens who know that the time for wresting illegitimate authority from corporations and engaging the struggle for real democracy is now! They have chosen one of the most pervasive corporate assaults of our time to take this case into their communities.
If you want to make a tax-deductible donation, please mail a check to "JAPA" (Jane Addams Peace Association) which serves as our fiscal sponsor and mail to POCLAD, P.O. Box 246, S. Yarmouth, MA 02664-0246.
Onward to the world we deserve,
The POCLAD collective

Somehow, someway, the idea that a chemical in turkey — tryptophan — causes the after-Thanksgiving Day meal sleepiness has crept into public consciousness.
"You can't stop it," said Scott Beyer, professor of animal sciences at Kansas State University, of the perpetuation of the popular myth. Beyer answered a few questions about the issue to try to clear up the misconceptions.
What is tryptophan?
An essential amino acid found in a wide variety of foods, tryptophan plays a small role in regulating sleep, Beyer said, but the amount in turkey is minimal. In addition, Beyer said the body self regulates absorption of tryptophan, so even if you ate a large amount of foods containing it, your body would adjust, minimizing tryptophan's effects. Tryptophan also can be found in eggs, cheese, fish, nuts and soy products, among others.
So what causes the sleepiness associated with the Thanksgiving Day meal?
"There's so many things you can point to," Beyer said. The biggest factor in the post-meal sleepiness is most likely the high amount of calories many people consume during the meal, which often includes foods high in carbohydrates. "The volume, that's huge," Beyer said. Add in snacking on desserts following the meal, and "you're done," he said.
What's the best way to avoid the post-meal slumber?
With all the options typically available during a Thanksgiving Day meal, people still "can eat a good, healthy meal," Beyer said. But cutting down on the volume, as well as desserts and carbohydrates in particular, can help. Beyer also said that a little exercise, such as a quick walk, can help keep Thanksgiving Day meal-munchers awake.

Climate change 375 mn years ago may have lead to mass extinction
Researchers have found proof for catastrophic oceanographic events linked with climate change and a mass extinction 375 million years ago that devastated tropical marine ecosystems.
Washington: Researchers have found proof for catastrophic oceanographic events linked with climate change and a mass extinction 375 million years ago that devastated tropical marine ecosystems.
Professor Johnny Waters, who is a co-leader of the five-year, UN International Geoscience Programme project that began in 2011, said that the Late Devonian mass extinction was one of the five largest mass extinction events in the history of life.
The research team, which includes Assistant Professor Sarah Carmichael , is examining the relationship between climate change and changes in the ecosystems in the Devonian period, from 419 to 359 million years ago.
In the Devonian period, Waters explained, the world was experiencing super greenhouse climate conditions. This means that it was very warm, there probably were no ice caps, there was a lot carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (with estimates of 4,000 parts per million).
Waters said that as plant communities expanded onto land to form the first forests, they depleted the carbon dioxide (CO2) that was in the atmosphere, asserting that CO2 levels dropped to 400 ppm toward the end of the Devonian.
He explained that it got colder and that there were glaciation events and the rapid change in the climate caused severe extinction in the tropics and the existing coral reefs became extinct, saying that by comparison, the world`s current CO2 level is very close to 400 ppm.
Answers about the earth`s climate during and after this mass extinction are contained within rock samples from these new field sites, which were once part of the ocean floor, as geochemical signals preserved in the rocks record devastating climate change.
The paleogeography of the field sites indicate that Devonian climate change not only had environmental impacts on life associated with large land masses, but also on life in the open ocean.

Williams, the owner and operator of Northwest Pipeline, is working with Vancouver, British Columbia-based Steelhead LNG to explore building and operating the Island Gas Connector (IGC) Project – a natural gas pipeline to serve a proposed liquefied natural gas facility on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC) called Malahat LNG. The proposed IGC Project would begin in the U.S. and end in Canada.
Latest News
- Steelhead LNG and Williams Announce Island Gas Connector Project to Vancouver Island. September 1, 2015
- Steelhead LNG and Malahat First Nation Sign Mutual Benefits Agreement and Lease for LNG Project. August 20, 2015
Williams and Steelhead LNG have signed a pre-construction agreement to design and pursue regulatory approvals of a proposed natural gas pipeline to Steelhead LNG's proposed Malahat LNG facility, a floating natural gas liquefaction and export facility located on the shoreline of Malahat Nation-owned land approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) south of Mill Bay, BC.
The IGC Project would deliver Canadian natural gas supplies from Sumas, Washington to Cherry Point, Washington. From there, it would travel approximately 75 kilometers (47 miles) across the Salish Sea, landing at the proposed Malahat LNG facility on the east coast of Vancouver Island, BC.
In addition to Malahat LNG, Steelhead LNG is also exploring the development of Sarita LNG, a proposed LNG facility with the Huu-ay-aht First Nations at Sarita Bay, BC, on the west coast of Vancouver Island 75 kilometers (47 miles) southwest of Port Alberni, BC. While the first phase of the IGC Project would be constructed to supply the Malahat LNG facility, the Project would be designed to meet the potential capacity requirements of Steelhead LNG's two proposed LNG facilities, providing potential shared infrastructure benefits.
An additional independent pipeline from the east coast of Vancouver Island to Sarita Bay would be required to deliver supply to Sarita LNG. That proposed pipeline would be designed, owned and operated by a separate Canadian entity and subject to its own regulatory approval process.
Northwest Pipeline is a major transporter of natural gas to the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain Region. The Northwest Pipeline system has changed significantly since its beginnings nearly 60 years ago. The original 1,414-kilometer (1,500-mile) pipeline is now a 6,347-kilometer (4,000-mile) bi-directional transmission system crossing the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. Northwest's bi-directional system provides access to British Columbia, Alberta, Rocky Mountain and San Juan Basin natural gas supplies.
Regulatory Process and Timeline
Williams' Northwest Pipeline would design, construct and operate the pipeline. As an international pipeline, the Island Gas Connector Project requires the approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in the United States and the National Energy Board (NEB) in Canada. In addition there would be various local, state/provincial and federal permits required.
The proposed IGC Project will undergo rigorous regulatory, environmental and technical assessments.
Canadian Regulatory Process
The Project team is preparing the Project description to be submitted to the NEB in spring of 2016 for the Canadian portion of the proposed pipeline. Following this submission, the Project team will prepare a Facilities Application to submit to the NEB.
USA Regulatory Process
The first step in developing the FERC certificate application is initiation of the FERC pre-filing process. This FERC pre-filing process is intended to solicit early input from citizens, governmental entities and other interested parties to identify and address issues with potential facility locations.
Community Engagement and Consultation
As part of the proposed Project, both Steelhead LNG and Williams will conduct an extensive consultation and engagement process. The companies respect and understand communities have an important role to play in decisions that affect them and are committed to ongoing and open engagement with Canadian Aboriginal groups, United States Tribes, landowners, local stakeholders and communities.
Public open houses and other opportunities for input will be hosted in the affected areas to formally introduce the proposal to the public and solicit feedback. Public input is important to us and can help shape the final Project scope.
Environmental, technical and engineering studies will be initiated as part of the regulatory processes.
The Proposed Route
The IGC Project is a proposed independent pipeline to deliver Canadian natural gas 52.8 kilometers (33 miles) from Williams' Northwest interconnect with Spectra Energy's BC Pipeline system at Sumas, Washington to Cherry Point, Washington. From there, it would travel 75 kilometers (47 miles) subsea, landing directly at the proposed Malahat LNG Project on the east coast of Vancouver Island.
The anticipated in-service date for the project is November 2020.

based on the novel by Michael Stewart. Allan Mann (John Beghe) is a law
student who's hit by a truck while jogging, leaving him a quadriplegic.
Luckily, his scientist friend Geoffrey (John Pankow) is experimenting with
capuchin monkeys, making them smarter with injections of human genetic
material. Geoffrey arranges with Melanie (Kate McNeil)--who's working on
an experimental program that matches monkeys with paraplegics to perform
guide-dog functions--to train his prize subject, Ella (Boo), to act as
Allan's helper. Allan is paralyzed from the neck down, confined to a
wheelchair he moves by working a lever with his mouth. He's really
vulnerable. Ella can fetch things and do errands, and a real emotional
bond develops between Mann and monkey. Too strong a bond, it turns out, as
Allan begins to experience dreams from the monkey's-eye view
(capuchin-cam), Ella's boosted intelligence giving her the residual
benefit of a telepathic ability in which the monkey begins to act out
Allan's subconscious rage. Allan's nurse, former girlfriend, doctor, even
his mother are terrorized by the creepy capuchin, leading to a showdown
between Ella and Allan himself. With Allan trapped in a house, alone with
a super-intelligent and malevolent monkey, there is plenty of suspense to
make you rip holes in your upholstery. But perhaps even more tension could
have been wrung out of this story if Ella had been more sympathetic (being
as she was the victim of a scientific experiment gone bad), her wicked
antics the acts of a kind of exterminating angel. Performances are
brilliant by both Ella and Jason Beghe, who turns in one of cinema's most
accurate and intelligent depictions of a high-level quadriplegic

Here are our tips for some Magical Disney time and some answers to your most frequently asked questions about the park.
Getting to the Theme Park is easy with Hong Kong's convenient MTR. Hong Kong Disneyland which is located in Lantau Island has its own dedicated MTR "Disneyland Resort" Line and Station.
Signs are very well marked, you can't get lost.
From Central it will take about 40-45 minutes, and about 35-40 minutes from TST.
MTR tickets to Disneyland Resort
|from Central
|from Tsim Sha Tsui
And remember you can use your Octopus Card to pay for the fare and get a small discount.
1) Take the Tung Chung Line (Yellow), from Hong Kong Station, you can get to Hong Station from the Island Line through Central Station, it is a five minute walk.
2) Change to the Disneyland Resort Line (pink) at Sunny Bay.
3) Arrive at the Disney Hong Kong Station.
1) Take the Tsuen Wan line (Red), conveniently along this line are stations for some of the main areas in Kowloon: Tsim Sha Tsui, Jordan, Mong Kok
2) Change to the Tung Chung Line (yellow) at Lai King
3) Change to the Disneyland Resort Line (pink) at Sunny Bay.
4) Arrive at the Disneyland Hong Kong Resort Station.
Just look at the kids' faces lit up when they see the train approaching at Sunny Bay... the world's most famous pair of ears everywhere you look, signaling that your magic journey is about to begin... Yes, Mickey Ear windows...
The train journey from Sunny Bay is only a few minutes long, but long enough to get "the kids" pumped up about what is to come!
The Star Ferry brings you now to Disneyland! The Ferry departs from the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier and arrive at the Disneyland Resort Pier. The ride takes 45 minutes. The return ride takes longer (approx. 70 minutes) since it takes you through the scenic route passing along the Tsing Ma bridge and the port container terminal.
This is NOT a continuous service, there are only TWO sailings per day, one catering the Hong Kong visitors heading to Disneyland and the other one catering the Disneyland resort visitors heading into town for the day:
Round Trip tickets cost:
Tickets are sold on day of departure at the Water Tour Star Ferry Ticket Counter on a first-come-first-served basis. Cash only.
You can buy discount tickets online in advance via klook.com:
»» More Info and Booking Round Trip Star Ferry to Hong Kong Disneyland Discount Tickets.
The Disneyland Resort Pier is next to the Disneyland Hotel and a short 8 minute walk on the Park Promenade to the Park Entrance. Or if you prefer, take the free shuttle from the hotel. See the map here.
Door to door convenience but you don't get the MTR "Mickey Ear" treatment...
Getting there by taxi: A Taxi to Disneyland from Central costs approximately HK 240 (US$31) and from Tsim Sha Tsui HK 180 (US$23) depending on traffic conditions and your exact location.
Private one-way transfers from your hotel to Disneyland cost US$55 from Kowloon and US$61 from Hong Kong Island.
This is a great option if you have a small group as the transfer price is per vehicle which accomodates up to 6 people. For round-trip transfers you need to book two packages.
Hassle-Free Pre-Arranged Disneyland Transfer includes Hotel pick up in the morning and transfer to Hong Kong Disneyland via deluxe air-conditioned motorcoach. Tickets to the park are included so you get to skip the line at the ticket counter.
Return is via MTR (in the cute Disney cars) whenever you please, this gives you maximum flexibility since you don't have a pre-arranged return time. What could be easier?
There are One-Day and Two-Day Disney Tickets, all attractions within the park are included in the cost of the ticket.
If you are planning to visit a second day, the 2-day ticket is worth buying, it does not have to be used in consecutive days but both
visits must be within 7 days.
Disney Land Hong Kong Admission Tickets
|Adult (12-64)
|Child (3-11)
|Senior (65 and over)
Tickets can be purchased online and this could save you the line at the gate which during the busiest times can be long.
Check below for current online offers for discount Disney Tickets.
We got our tickets at the CTS at the Airport (there is a counter at the Arrivals Hall) Discounts for adult and children tickets at that time were roughly 15% off the regular rate. There was no discount for Seniors but the concessionary rate is already discounted.
Tickets must be paid for in cash. There are a number of CTS offices throughout Hong Kong where you can get discounts on this and many other attractions. We also got some good discounts for our Ocean Park Tickets through CTS.
The discounts vary throughout the year depending on the season, during the busiest times, i.e. Christmas or Chinese New Year, the discount may be only a couple of dollars so it may or may not be worth it.
Discount ticket prices are as follows:
»» More Info and Booking Hong Kong Disneyland Discount Tickets.
Some special times to keep in mind:
The "Flights of Fantasy Parade" is at 3:30 pm
The Disney in the Stars Fireworks are at 9:00 pm
Toy Story Land attractions closing times vary, normally about one and a half hours prior to the Fireworks.
Be sure to pick up your Times Guide at the City Hall Guest Services for times for all shows, attractions, character greeting times, etc.
These are some of the main celebrations held throughout the year:

Public speaking is incredibly difficult and awful. I know this because I recently booked my 100th paid speaking event and wondered — why the hell do I do this? I never feel good about myself, I worry about my clothes and the whole endeavor makes me want to vomit.
This is why I'm extremely generous to most public speakers. I always give the benefit of the doubt because it just takes one small thing to throw you off your game.
So several months ago, I plunked down $120 to see Anthony Bourdain. I should have wiped my ass with that cash. Tony rolled onto stage like a bad version of Joey Ramone — yes, that's possible — and seemed wholly unprepared. What was even more insulting is that he basically copied Kathy Griffin's act (in tone and snarkiness) and read from his notes.
And PS I don't mean that he referenced his notes. HE READ FROM NOTES. Word for word at times.
I am not kidding. He couldn't even tell his own stories.
And the stories he told weren't all that great. When he wasn't self-impressed and congratulating himself on feeding his children organic food, he was insulting Sandra Lee, Rachel Ray and Paula Deen. That's fine. I get it. HE'S EDGY. But he never demonstrated any self-reflection or understanding that he is as much of a whore as the women he is insulting.
And at least those women can cook. Has anyone ever eaten anything from Tony Bourdain? Even Mario Batali can whip up a batch of pasta for corporate whores like me.
Here's the deal. Lots of people try but very few people actually earn over $10,000/speech. It is an elite crowd and Anthony Bourdain should be applauded for achieving a certain level of success. He should also try harder.
I know he thinks that Sandra Lee is a crazy robot and Rachel Ray is a brand slut. We all know how he feels about Paula Deen. (She is a crack whore who lies about her diabetes.) Those opinions are lovely but there's no substance behind the bravado. Well, maybe there is some substance but Tony could really use a good speaking coach to help him develop a unique tone, style and voice. And it wouldn't hurt to learn how to have a point.
Maybe Anthony Bourdain isn't a total piece of shit for stealing Kathy Griffin's routine and hating on female chefs but I'm 100% sure that he is yet another guy — like Charlemagne, Thomas Jefferson and the Pope — who gets credit for working harder than he really works.
It's just exhausting to watch.
And who the fuck asked him about his Oscar picks?

Ohio State vs. Nebraska
Memorial Stadium in Lincoln will be rocking this Saturday night as the Cornhuskers host their first Big Ten Conference game. Last year this looked like it would be a matchup of two top ten teams, but Ohio State's miserable offseason and poor play this year has diminished the expectations for this game to some degree.
Nebraska was smashed by Wisconsin last week, while Ohio State was terrible in a loss to Michigan State. Which team gets back on track this week?
Memorial Stadium
Saturday October 8, 8:00 PM EST
NCAA Football Odds from BetOnline
Moneyline: Nebraska (-425) Ohio State (+350)
College Football Spread: Nebraska -11 (-110) Ohio State +11 (-110)
Over/Under: 43.5
Ohio State was thoroughly dominated by Michigan State last weekend, despite the fact that the scoreboard read 10-7 at the end of the game. Ohio State scored with just a few seconds left in the game, and Michigan State blew several chances at busting the game wide open. Ohio State picked up just 178 total yards of offense, and 62 of those yards came on the final drive when Michigan State was playing a soft prevent defense. Ohio State has had two horribly ugly losses already this year, and the fans in Columbus are quickly losing patience with Luke Fickell.
Braxton Miller will start again in this one. Miller is a talented freshman quarterback, but he needs to work on his passing quite a bit. He is a dual-threat quarterback, but right now he relies too heavily on his legs. Boom Herron and DeVier Posey are out for this game after another one-game suspension, and that is a big blow to the offense. This team must start getting Jake Stoneburner involved in the offense. Defensively, Ohio State hasn't been terrific, but they are pretty good. [soliloquy id="82219″]
This is a unit that is allowing just 14.6 points per game so far this year.
Nebraska jumped out to a 14-7 lead last week against Wisconsin, but the Badgers proceeded to score 34 straight points and blow out the Huskers in the Big Ten opener for both teams. Taylor Martinez threw for 176 yards, but he also threw three critical interceptions. Nebraska has one of the best running games in the nation with Martinez and Rex Burkhead. Expect them to try to run it down Ohio State's throat in this one. If Martinez can become a more consistent passer, it would certainly help this team stay balanced and keep the defense honest.
The Nebraska defense has been a major disappointment so far this year. This was a unit that was supposed to be one of the best in the nation, but they have struggled mightily. Nebraska ranks in the lower half in every single defensive category. The defensive front should be great, but they have allowed a lot of teams to run the ball well. As a whole, this defense is allowing 27.2 points per game.
Nebraska's defense may have struggled to this point, but Ohio State's offense is terrible and it should help make the Huskers defense look good. The Buckeyes defense isn't bad, and they should make the Huskers work hard on offense.
Free College Football Pick: Under 43.5
Score Prediction: Nebraska 27 Ohio State 10

I really have mixed feelings about the Island Beachcomber Hotel.
Writing reviews as much as I do for TripAdvisor and reading other's I kind of went into my one night stay here with no expectations ---- that was a good thing.
The woman at the front desk was very very nice and set us up in room 200 --- literally facing the beach and it seemed to be a room re-done over the last two years or so.
I read a number of reviews before checking in and I did have my doubts about a couple of things, but...
The grounds at this hotel are very nice and it actually calmed me a little as we were walking to our room.
We past a nice old lady who was standing in the doorway and trying to get the attention of the person who worked there --- turns out that "nice old lady" owns the Island Beachcomber Hotel and she lives onsite.
Our room had a tiled floor that was clean, the bed looked well made and was sort of firm, and no stains on the walls or ceilings.
So good, right?
Sort of... we went out for the evening and came back to a nice cool room (left the A/C and ceiling fan on) and as we were preparing for bed we noticed a bug (not sure what kind) in the bathroom and a few ants...
No big deal -- honestly...
In the morning is where we ran into the issue...
Apparently this place has a lot of cats -- didn't notice them when we checked in -- and in the morning as we were walking to breakfast, we noticed a dead cat --- yep a dead cat, killed by an aggressive dog (we were told). I will not describe the scene, but it swayed me from eating breakfast or lunch at the hotel. We proceeded to tell the front desk about this and the person said that she had told someone a half-hour ago to clean it up... Well apparently that person didn't do it -- kind gross in my opinion... I should note that after we went next door to the Best Western to get coffee and try to get that image out of my head and we came back, the dead cat was gone and you could smell some cleaning chemicals.
Other than a bug and the dead cat (which clearly isn't the hotel's fault, but the lenght of time to clean it up was) this hotel is truly just average. Since I didn't have to pay for my stay at the Island Beachcomber Hotel (had a hotel voucher for only this hotel), I am not sure if I would pay to stay here again... Other's rave about it and other's hate it... I am sort of on the fence about this place...
if you are in a bind and need a place to stay for one night or two, then yes, stay here -- it is located on a beach and even though it is right next to the airport, there are no flights after 9pm and no jet flights until after 9am...
