Dear Johnny Football,
If you leave college in the next year or two, it's possible that the Giants will look to draft you as a future successor to Eli Manning, or the Jets will need yet another QB after they're done fucking up Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith. I know you can't help which team drafts you — unless you're, you know, Eli Manning or something — but based on what we're hearing, Johnny Football, you wouldn't be a good fit for New York.
It's not the football aspect that you'd have a problem with (I don't think), nor would it be some bullshit about New York only being for assholes (it's fucking not, okay, and if any of yous have a problem with that, fuck yous, buddy). It's that you don't seem to know how to handle getting a parking ticket. And in New York, we get a shit-ton of parking tickets, and they cost a lot of damn money.
Johnny, remember when everyone got upset earlier this week when you tweeted about wanting to leave College Station, then deleted the tweet and instead asked people to walk in your Heisman-winning shoes? People were confused about it. But Busted Coverage pointed us to a report by Brent Zwerneman of the San Antonio Express-News explaining exactly why you did that:
Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, had been fishing in Port Aransas on Saturday and was still on the coast when he talked over the phone to an officer, who wrote him a ticket for being parked the wrong way in front of his house and for his windows being tinted too dark (his vehicle was in College Station while he was with friends in Port Aransas), according to the insider. Manziel tweeted out his frustrations in dealing with the matter, quickly removed the post, followed with a tweet that he loved A&M but for people to please walk in a day in his shoes.
So you sent the Internet — and correspondingly, the rest of the media world — into freakout mode over a parking ticket? It's not your fault everyone overreacted, but speaking of overreactions… dude, just recently I got a ticket for leaving my car by a meter for 60 seconds while I ran inside a store to buy some lox. Cost me $65. Last month I forgot to move my car for alternate side parking. Cost me $115. SportsGrid is based in New York. Get the picture?
If you want to roll around like a gangster with tinted windows and park your car backwards like a… dyslexic gangster, that's your right. But don't blame College Station for your woes. And don't come to New York, man. I'm telling you this for your own good. The tickets will drive you nuts. Also, the rent is too damn high.

There is no record of such a movie ever existing, and Sinbad himself says he never acted in it or even heard of it before random people on the internet started asking him about it.
By: Relevant/The Earth Child ?This is one of the strangest internet stories you will likely ever read: There are people on Reddit and Twitter attempting to find a movie called Shazaam which starred actor and comedian Sinbad as a friendly genie. According to those who claim to have seen this movie, it came out before Shaq?s critically panned comedy called Kazaam, and was a relatively enjoyable ?90s comedy.
The only problem is, there is no record of such a movie ever existing, and Sinbad himself says he never acted in it or even heard of it before random people on the internet started asking him about it.
The magazine NewStatesman has just published a fascinating investigative article about the conspiracy, and some theories as to why so many people have vivid memories of watching a movie that there is no evidence has ever existed. Literally, there are no records of the movie ever being made?no photos, no old VHS tapes, nothing. That?s despite cash rewards from people eager to prove it is real.
Some people believe the group is falling victim to ?the social contagion of memory??essentially, all of the talks about the movie is creating realistic false memories in people?s minds. Some people believe the movie was ?disappeared? because Sinbad himself hated it. Some people believe it is an example of the ?Mandela Effect,? which essentially states that multiple realities have existed, and splintered versions sometimes converge (in this case, in one reality Shazaam was real).
Either way, it is really, really strange.
What are your thoughts on this story??Please share, like, and comment on this article!

An easy appetizer to sip with some wine. Eggplant with Paneer scramble aka Paneer-bhaingan bhurji is so good topped on a lightly buttered and toasted french bread. The perfect summer pick me up. Thanks to Revol cookware for sponsoring this post.
Right now, I am over the moon thrilled and thankful to all of you for reading my previous post about my book announcement. It has been one of the most read posts in the last many months and that shows how supportive you are. Thank you!! I will fill in more details very soon. For now, sharing one of the dishes I enjoy making for company or just for the family with some rotis.
Indians have a love affair with paneer. Before we were introduced to mozzerella, parm or all the variety of cheese that's available now, we knew only paneer in India. It's often compared to ricotta or halloumi. We use it in curries, grill it and even deep fry it. I often find myself scooping just one more nibble of chewy, milky-tasting paneer from the dish long after I'm officially full. It's that delicious….

Vehicle Totaled by Falling Ice Good Reminder to Watch Where You Park [VIDEO]
Maine's winter hasn't only been about snow. It's also been about ice. Huge icicles are hanging off houses and public buildings and, as one Portland resident discovered, are making parking hazardous. Ice falling on his car could have killed him.

Vision Health
LASIK Everett – Serving patients seeking LASIK surgery in Everett and the surrounding area
Bruce J. Ballon, MD, Bruce E. Wietharn, MD, and Natalia V. Bajenova, MD, are premier ophthalmologists at the Harman Eye Clinic offering individuals in Everett LASIK surgery. Each laser eye surgeon is certified by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. At the leading-edge Harman Eye Clinic, located just north of Seattle, Drs. Ballon, Wietharn and Bajenova set the gold standard in blade-free CustomVue LASIK surgery. What truly sets these surgeons apart from others in their field is their ability to provide authentic, personalized patient care as well as exceptional vision correction results. They recognize that excellence in laser eye surgery is not achieved by accident but by adhering to the highest standards of surgical performance and attentive patient care. The Harman Eye Clinic remains true to its commitment to excellence as it searches for new ways to provide patients with outstanding vision correction services and surgical outcomes.
The laser eye surgeons at the Harman Eye Clinic offer a range of vision correction treatment options, including iLASIK, PRK, cataract surgery with premium intraocular lenses (IOLs), refractive lens exchange (RLE) and more. They also offer treatment for macular degeneration, dry eye syndrome, diabetic eye disorders, glaucoma and countless other eye conditions.
To schedule a consultation with Dr. Ballon, Dr. Wietharn or Dr. Bajenova and learn more about your vision correction treatment options, please contact the Harman Eye Clinic by calling (360) 972-3578 today.
More About LASIK Vision Correction With the Harman Eye Clinic
The Everett LASIK surgeons at the Harman Eye Clinic use the most advanced technology available for customized vision correction treatment. The state-of-the-art clinic is equipped with IntraLase femtosecond and VISX CustomVue wavefront-guided excimer laser technology to deliver personally tailored, exceptionally precise vision correction results.
Before starting the LASIK procedure, Drs. Ballon, Wietharn and Bajenova use wavefront imaging technology to capture the eye's unique refractive errors, including extremely subtle vision errors called "higher order aberrations." They use this diagnostic data to calibrate the excimer laser used to reshape the curvature of the cornea during surgery.
The laser eye surgeon starts the LASIK procedure by using either a microkeratome (surgical blade) or, during iLASIK procedures, the IntraLase femtosecond laser to create a small flap in the surface of the cornea. After gently lifting back the corneal flap, he or she employs the excimer laser to remove microscopic flecks of tissue from the cornea. In doing so, the surgeon corrects the refractive error causing farsightedness, nearsightedness and / or astigmatism. Once the ophthalmologist is satisfied with the new curvature of the cornea, he or she replaces the corneal flap in its original position, where it re-bonds to the eye naturally.
Patients of the Harman Eye Clinic are happy to discover that the procedure is painless. They generally notice vision improvement within 24 to 48 hours of surgery. In most cases, Harman Eye Clinic LASIK patients no longer need to depend on prescription glasses or contact lenses to see well. More than 99 percent of individuals achieve 20/20 vision.

Given how things played out last year, I expected things to be busy today at the trade show. What I didn't expect was sheer volume of people that would be attending the show. What had taken me 20 minutes to go from getting on the bus to the booth, was now an hour voyage through the sea of attendees and exhibitors. Thankfully, I had left early enough that I still made it to the booth with plenty of time to spare before the first appointment that I had booked for the day.
As the day flew by you could tell who had been at the show for both days walking up and down the aisles. Sore feet and slow moving legs were apparent. And, of course, there was the larger than life crowd… the ones that made me look like the after picture from a weight loss commercial. It was a constant fluffy wave that made you think twice when you took a lunch break or went over to the cart to get a cup of coffee.
While our booth was busy throughout the day with only a handful of moments when we were left to ourselves, there were other companies when the exact opposite was true. It was rather odd to see the lack of interest that they were inciting especially in a room where there were more than a few niche companies and products that were constantly talking to customers all day. Makes me glad that some of our previous discussions never panned out but also make me wonder how we could have made the show different for them.
Even during the numerous humorous and busy moments, I couldn't help but think about what I might be missing back home. I kept thinking about my wife and son and hoping that he wasn't missing me too much. While he may not be aware of everything he does know when I am out late and I am certain that he knew I was gone.
Those times were tough but it was also nice getting those pictures and videos from my wife and sharing them with those around me. While I may not have been able to talk to him, I could at least talk about him. That was my way of getting through the times when I missed him most and the best way that I was able to relate to those around me who all had kids. That is how I got through today!

Find and consolidate your super
Combine your super accounts
These days, having more than one super account is a common thing. But did you know that it can also be really costly?
Having more than one account means you could be paying more in fees and, over time, these fees can eat away at your super, taking a big chunk out of your final retirement balance.
By combining all of your other super into your Statewide Super account you can:
- Save money by only paying for one, affordable, industry super fund account
- Keep track of your retirement savings more easily
- Reduce the paperwork and statements you regularly receive from other funds
- Give your super a real boost!
How do you combine your other super into Statewide Super?
It's easy to do -just click here. You'll need to:
- Provide your personal details, including your Tax File Number (TFN) if you haven't already
- Tell us where you're transferring your super from.
Then we'll contact you to obtain authorisation before we organise to combine your other super accounts into Statewide Super.
Alternatively, you can fill in a little paperwork, and we'll do the rest from there.
- Download, print and complete the Combine your super form
- Return it to Statewide Super
- Let us take care of the rest
Any issues we welcome you to call one of our team on 1300 65 18 65.
Things to consider before you combine your super accounts
You should consider all relevant information before you make the decision to combine your super accounts. Things you should consider are:
- Fees – your from fund must give you information about any exit or withdrawal fees. If you are not aware of the fees that may apply, you should contact your fund for further information before completing this form. The fees could include administration fees, and exit or withdrawal fees. Your to fund may also charge entry or deposit fees on transfer. Differences in fees that funds charge can have a significant effect on the super you will have to retire on – for example, a 1% increase in fees may significantly reduce your final benefit.
- Death and disability benefits – your from fund may insure you against death, illness or an accident which leaves you unable to return to work. If you choose to leave your current fund, you may lose any insurance entitlements you have – other funds may not offer insurance, or may require you to pass a medical examination before they cover you.
- Costs and cover - When considering a new fund, you should consider checking the costs and amount of any cover offered.
Don't know where your other super is?
If you think you might have super elsewhere, but you're not sure where, we can help!
Find your lost super
To find out if you have lost super, complete the secure online form below. You will need your TFN to complete the form.
Once your lost super is found, we can help you combine it into your Statewide Super account.
Besides lost super, we can also look for other super accounts that you may have but didn't know about, either from changing jobs or just because you've forgotten.
The ATO online facility allows us to look for your super, and once your other accounts have been found, we'll contact you and ask you if you want us to combine them into your Statewide Super account.

text: MB> Yesterday I installed kernel 2.4.6 (I used 2.2.17) and now Xgalaga does NOT MB> crash anymore! Pity, twere good if we could debug this problem. But it may simply be a DRI version problem. MB> About X, I still can't get X to run on 1280x1024 [...] MB> (II) I810(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 136.00 MHz [...] MB> (WW) I810(0): Default mode "1280x1024" deleted (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) What it's telling you is that the mode you requested (called 1280x1024) uses a dot clock that is outside the clock range of your video card. There are two ways to get around the problem. One would be simply to overclock your chip, i.e. tell the server to disable its sanity checks. This is dangerous, though, and judging from what I know about the i810, is not very likely to give any results. The other solution is to use a different mode, one which achieves the same resolution with a lower dot clock either by reducing the refresh frequency (horizontal or vertical), or by reducing the synch ranges. Assuming you have a decent monitor, there is little or no possibility of you doing any damage to it (this advice is given in good fait but with no guarantee of any kind).

Production functions and distributions of unit factor productivities: Uncovering the link
We derive a reversible "endogenous technology choice transform," according to which firm-level production functions and distributions of unit factor productivities are two sides of the same coin. The Cobb-Douglas function relates to Pareto distributions, and the CES to Weibull distributions.

Nigerian hip hop artiste Yung6ix is a young man many remember for his contribution on MI Abaga's 2012 Illegal Music 2 mixtape. He came through on that Export track; spitting hard, gritty bars. He was true, so real and so prospective. But fast forward a few years and it's been nothing exactly spectacular from him save for several attempts to stay in the news on the back of controversies and social media tantrums.
While this is understandable given the nature of show business and the need for occasional controversies, Yung6ix needs to lay low for a bit.
He has made so much noise it is time for him to actually make music or leave the scene once and for all and maybe try out something around the scope of fashion or music production and all that.
READ ALSO: What music star told ladies in abusive relationships (Videos)
Born Onome Onokohohwomo, Yung6ix is fairly gifted and there's no disputing this. He is gifted but nowhere near being a special rapper. He is ordinary when you peg him on same line with the likes of Jesse Jagz, Vector, Mode 9, Godwon, Sauce Kid, Reminisce and MI Abaga. Again, this is understandable given we can't compare an ordinary artiste to greats.
There are several things wrong with his music and delivery, issues he is yet to fully resolve. Hence, he ought to be busy with these matters in order to be great.
For starters, the young man needs to better his pronunciations (rid them of the laughable 'H' factor) and improve his rhyming.
Then he needs to pick his battles rightly. He also needs a total overhaul as per his A&R team. Lastly, he can use an amazing set of social media handlers so that they help him carve a precise image that embodies showmanship, bravura and style. Currently, his fashion sense isn't bad.
READ ALSO: Tiwa Savage recounts biggest regret in life
In 2015, he came close to reinventing himself musically with two decent tracks that could have been better anyway. He had Blessings featuring Oritsefemi and For Example featuring Stonebwoy, two impressive records that stick out like a hard dick in all of his catalogue till date.
The 27-year-old has also impressed here and there during freestyle sessions, and with this comes to mind his delivery at the 2015 Hennessey Artistry Cypher right there in the Beat FM studios in Ikoyi, Lagos with industry heavyweights Olisa Adibua and Douglas Jekan officiating the process.
He is still emerging and there's so much he can achieve if he realizes early enough that though controversy is important in this line of business, everything must come in moderation.
If he realizes this and focuses on pressing matters to improve his craft rather than putting the cart before the horse, then it's safe to say he stands a great chance.
READ ALSO: Musician alleges fellow entertainer made attempt on his life
In July 2016, he had a bit of a squabble with Cynthia Morgan after the latter accused him of releasing an unfinished collaboration they had done together.
Following her rant, he took to Twitter and replied thus:
In the past, he's fallen out with B-Red of HKN, veteran hip hop artiste Cyrus The Virus and a few others that didn't quite make the headlines.
Similarly, in August 2016 he fell out with singer P.R.E. as the latter was promoting a new collaboration they had done together.
On Sunday, August 21, 2016, Yung6ix took to Instagram and stated that the singer made threats to his life and vandalized his properties earlier, then he added that he wanted compensation.
READ ALSO: Davido involved in multi million naira 'fraud'?
But there's something common in this case as well as Cynthia Morgan's – there's been a new song which needs promoting. So clearly, it's more about the young man running his music with the wrong set of publicists or a case of him being unruly as a person.
READ ALSO: Sexy singer set to leave record label?
In the end; nobody wins, not Yung6ix, not his team and not the collaborators with whom he has orchestrated these weak media stunts.
This is why he needs to be more about the music than he is about pushing a controversial image for himself.
He who has ear let him hear.

You know how I told you that I hated Halloween until my daughter started getting into it? Well, I don't despise Valentine's Day as much, but I've never been a fan either. Well, guess who emailed the pre school teachers to find out what Valentine's treats Amelia could bring to school tomorrow? Yep, yours truly. Again, I've been sucked in by my daughter's excitement.
"Valentine's Day is when you tell someone you love them and you give them something" explained the 4 year old. ( A sweet yet clearly materialistic thought.)
My first reaction was "crap, I better get something for her", but then I realized that this is one of those "holidays" where the really good moms send their children to school with adorable, crafty, often home made creations for every classmate. This good mom is on her way to the Dollar Store for glowsticks, kisses and paper hearts.
Just like I'm not dressing up for Halloween, I am not preparing a romantic dinner for my husband or expecting a dozen roses.(Our Valentine's Day should be every day, damn it) I'm not embrassing the festivities. Although I do have to get a card since I've heard he already got me one. Let's see what I can find for a dollar. Ay Mama!

Video: President Higgins praises 'unbreakable link' between Ireland and Mexico
PRESIDENT Michael D Higgins made his first public address in Mexico today at a wreath laying ceremony on the first leg of his Central American tour.
Speaking at a memorial in the city for Irish soldiers who fought on the side of the Mexicans in the American-Mexican war of 1846-1848, he said that the battalion (Battalon de San Patricio) had 'created an unbreakable link between our two countries.'
Mexican Foreign Minister Meade (whose family left Ireland in the 1880s) also spoke at the wreath laying ceremony and echoed President Higgins's remarks. He described Michael D as a 'dear friend of Mexico' and how our countries have a 'friendship that is unbreakable' because of the Irish men who fought for Mexico.
President Higgins remarked on the shared cultural vibrancy between Mexico and Ireland where we both see 'life as a joyful experience to be lived to the full.'
As the mid morning sun shone down into the Mexican square, the country's only piping band (also named the Saint Patrick's Battalion) honoured the Irish President.
The President was joined by his wife Sabina and Minister for Trade and Development Joe Costello.
President Higgins made reference to the Great Famine in his address as the Irish soldiers had fought at the same time in Irish history.
A plaque is erected in the soldiers' honour and names like Kelly, Dalton, O'Reilly and Murphy are inscribed. The President turned to face the plaque as both the Mexican and Irish anthems were played by a brass band at the ceremony.
The President touched on issues of emigration also. He attended a private breakfast with Minister Meade after the ceremony and will visit the Museum of Anthropology later this evening.
The President spoke at about 16.30 Irish time.

- Peak oil started my journey
- Peak everything
- Global warming turbo-charges all these dangers!
- Scientific panels sound the alarm every few years, but are largely ignored
- The Eclipse is Now
- The 10 Rules for Recovery
1. Peak oil started my journey
Over a decade ago I was captivated by the peak oil debate. I always thought the oil crisis would start when the oil ran out. Instead, peak oil describes how oil production will one day reach a maximum of output (or peak) and then begin to decline. Since Ford's famous assembly line brought motoring to the modern world, the human race has enjoyed ever increasing supplies of cheap, easy to mine light sweet crude. We always find and mine the largest, easiest oilfields first. They make more money. We are now nearing the point where the only new discoveries are in deep ocean waters, and are very hard to get at and expensive to mine. We're not finding enough, and are burning oil our grandparents discovered: there's a now historic growing gap between what we burn today and what we're finding. Peak oil is coming, soonish. In our lifetimes.
Alternatives like tar sands and shale oil are now being mined, but they cost more, and cause profound local environmental destruction and emit far more CO2 than traditional sweet crude. And they won't last. As National Geographic reports:
The IEA report projects that U.S. domestic oil supplies, dominated by fracking, will begin to decline by 2020. "As tight oil output in the United States levels off, and non-OPEC supply falls back in the 2020s," the report says, "the Middle East becomes the major source of supply growth." Earlier this year the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) also forecast a plateau in U.S. oil production after 2020.
The age of sweet oil is turning sour. We have mined the easy stuff, and from here on in it will gradually get more and more difficult to satisfy demand. Many expert geologists are predicting the peak to be somewhere in the next decade (see graph).
Exactly when is the peak? I used to be quite scared of peak oil, and used to obsess over the exact timing. But now I don't really care, other than to hope that it arrives sooner than later. Why? Because climate change is so urgent we should not burn the remaining oil anyway – let alone the gas and coal, which would cook the planet 5 times over! In fact, I long for the day all oil categories peak and begin to decline on a steady basis so that it forces recalcitrant governments into action!
2. Peak everything
Learning about peak oil started me reading other environmental books. The story is bleak. Coal, oil and gas have given us the cheap energy to accelerate everything we do. Cheap energy has turbo-charged mining, fishing, farming, hunting, logging, building, and over-populating this planet. Cheap energy has grown our economy and our population. Peak oil is only the tip of the iceberg, or the proverbial canary in the coalmine! The real environmental crisis is that we are simply using too many finite resources too fast, making our civilisation prone to depletion and collapse. If we already use renewable resources like fresh water too fast — with over half the rivers in the world not reaching the sea — then naturally we want to check how our finite resources are going. It turns out they're not so good. Underground aquifers or 'bore water' – the so-called 'fossil water' that took thousands of years to accumulate – are running dry. This is already hurting agriculture. Not only that, but industrial farming is killing our soils. 100,000 square kilometres dry up and blow away annually! Scientific American said the world's farmland topsoils could be gone in 60 years. Farming could also suffer from climate change, as global warming cuts crop yields by 10% per degree! See Peak water, soil, and food.
Previously renewable fish stocks are dying, as 75% of fisheries are on the verge of collapse. As George Monbiot says, "Since 1996 the fish catch has fallen by a million tonnes a year, as stocks are exhausted. Sieving the seas for what remains, fishing fleets will trigger the collapse of entire ecosystems." (For more see Peak fish.) Forests and other important animal and ecosystem habitats are also under stress, with mankind nearly using half the land surface of the earth for grazing and farming. (Cities only take up 3% of the land). We also corrupt the land, introducing pests, hunting predators, and polluting with plastic and other toxic wastes. We will mine most conventional metal ores by 2075, being forced to use more and more energy extracting non-conventional ores from thinner tailings and even the grains floating in the ocean itself.
All these trends are accelerating as the population explodes and the number of people on earth grows around 75 million annually. It's like adding a new United Kingdom every year.
The speed of growth is amazing. Did you know that if anything grows at 2% per year for one lifetime, there would be 4 times as much in just 70 years? This is just basic maths, but it applies to anything, whether describing growth in people, power plants, or pollution. Anytime you hear "something" is growing at a percent a year, ask yourself what that would look like over a human lifetime?
1% growth per year = 2 times as much
2% growth per year = 4 times as much
3% growth per year = 8 times as much
4% growth per year = 16 times as much
5% growth per year = 32 times as much
6% growth per year = 64 times as much
What are we to do about population growth? Just try putting a ban on how many kids people can have! Fortunately educating and empowering women stabilises population growth.
We seem close to what some have called 'peak everything'. For the first time we are crashing into a comprehensive range of resource and environmental limits on a global scale. Previous civilisations rose and fell as they used up local resources and environments, such as when Roman topsoil washed into the Mediterranean, shrinking the supply of cheap food. These civilisations sometimes took decades or centuries to unwind. But once the environmental damage was done, the outcome was inevitable. We are about to crash into a number of global resource limits, all at once, on a warming and overpopulated planet. What could go wrong?
3. Global Warming turbo-charges all these dangers!
Climate change can accelerate every negative trend discussed above, threatening farmlands and ecosystems, disrupting rainfall patterns and turning break baskets into dust bowls, drowning millions of hectares of rice paddies and wheat belts under seawater, and spreading flood and famine and disease and death and refugees across the world.
For more see Climate change is serious.
4. Scientific panels sound the alarm every few years, but are largely ignored
As Pulitzer Prize winning scientist Jared Diamond said, "People are worried now." Hardly a year goes by without a careful, cold, calculating scientific organisation sounding the alarm. My Limits Page documents a growing list of recent papers, from the classic and disturbing 1970's Limits to Growth which is still on track 40-something years later, through to recent work by the Stockholm Resilience Centre in 2015. The science is undeniable, and from so many different sources. This is not a problem of scientific credibility but of greed, apathy, and a feeling of powerlessness with activists. (But some activist groups are gaining more money and momentum. Read on!)
5. The Eclipse is now!
My old motto was too melodramatic: "We must eclipse ourselves or be eclipsed." It was binary: all or nothing; success or failure; life or death.
I now see that there are a thousand ways we might succeed in some areas and fail in others. While we might not "be eclipsed" and collapse back to the stone age, we still risk being stuck in the twilight. Unless we roll out the 10 Rules for Recovery (below) our children will inherit a planet we hardly recognise, with half the biodiversity extinct by 2050 and many billions living in poverty, hunger, and war. There are dangers ahead. What if water stress becomes too much, and existing international tensions boil over into water wars? What if we fight over the remaining oil, water, and farmland? How will we respond when today's refugee crisis is multiplied tenfold, maybe a hundredfold, due to climate collapse? How do we prepare for mega-droughts, especially when America has almost used up all their fossil water? What other wild-cards are coming our way?
We can and must do better. You can make a difference, and help us emerge out of this gloomy period into a bright green new world! If just one cause below grabs you, take it up as a hobby. Read the pages I link to below, watch some documentaries, and join an online group. Get involved. You can change the way it goes. You'll make some great new friends along the way.
6. The 10 Rules for Recovery. We need to:–
REFUEL on safe, modern GenIV nuclear reactors that eat nuclear 'waste' to prevent the worst of climate change. Just today's nuclear waste could run the world for the next 500 years. Nuclear waste is not the problem, it is the solution. Nuclear power MUST give us the reliable baseload power that modern grids need. They also allow some wind and solar, and help intermittent, unreliable renewables to play their part.
RAIL everywhere with trains, trams, and trolley buses all good options.
REZONE our cities around the trains, allowing New Urbanism to creep around the transport network. Then the suburbs will be able to plug into local New Urban districts that are walkable, attractive, trendy, local and efficient. There are a variety of New Urban and eco-city plans that might work for your area.
RECHARGE our transport fuels rather than mine them. There are a variety of options for a post-oil world including Electric Vehicles, synthetic diesel from seawater, and even a recyclable metal powder called boron that can be burned for fuel!
RECYCLE all our waste using a Plasma Burners that rips waste apart and sort it at the molecular level. We can take get rid of council landfill tips forever, and turn household waste into the next house: ordinary garbage into the next house or car or boat!
REINVENT industry to run on mostly renewable materials. We need to reinvent processes so they use clean, recyclable materials. Governments should encourage Green Chemistry, Nano-technology, and even lower technology solutions like building Skyscrapers out of wood!
REPLENISH the soil and not mine and destroy it through Industrial Agriculture. This means adopting nutrient recycling schemes, using biochar to bring the soil back to life, and not flushing the invaluable phosphorus and other nutrients in our sewage out to sea! It means our sewerage departments need to speak to our agricultural departments.
REPAIR ecosystems so that nature will continue to give us 'Ecosystem services'. Nature gives us free services that increase our health and wealth. Without them we would have to pay for all our fresh water, soil, clean air, certain waste processing, etc. Trying to replace ecosystem services with expensive human technologies instead would pretty much bankrupt us all.
RE-GREEN deserts with seawater greenhouses producing fresh food and possibly protein from seawater bug-houses!?
REDUCE population growth by meeting all human needs, especially by empowering and educating women! Empowering women in developing countries not only helps them and their families achieve their potential, it helps those families not see children as some form of superannuation. Studies have proved it prevents population growth, and can stabilise the population.

Green pheasant
The green pheasant (Phasianus versicolor), also known as Japanese green pheasant, is native to the Japanese archipelago, to which it is endemic. It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the common pheasant. It is the national bird of Japan.
It is found throughout Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu as well as some smaller islands; it has also been introduced in Hawaii and (unsuccessfully) in North America as a gamebird. It inhabits woodlands and forest edges, brush, grassland, and parkland.
This species is common and widespread throughout its native range. It often frequents farmlands and human settlements. The introduced populations on Hawaii are stable. Populations in Western Europe have perhaps bred with the Common Pheasants for a number of years and no pure Green Pheasants exist there any longer. This species has been crossed with the Common Pheasants on some game farms in North America and released. source

Another amazing story! You are incredible! Can't wait for part 4! Please post it soon! :-}

Nice chapter - you seem to have Edward's character spot-on! Looking forward to part 4...
| Apeuree A Etre Seul chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
Love this! I always love a jelous Edward.
| BellaTonks chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
Oh, Oh, Oh please tell me you are going to do the next scene after? This is really good ... I am enjoying it very much. Can't wait for the next chapter. XD
| LindaRoo chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
You write Edward SO SO SO well. The contrast between this and First Light is like comparing Vampires to Sugarplum fairies. First Light was delightful, but everything felt so perfect, so pretty, so safe (well...except for the head in the bag...which I loved, but that's another story). This feels so...TENSE. I love the voice you've given Edward. Everything hangs on the edge of a knife. If he strays from his plan "but a little, all will be lost, to the ruin of all." (I have a feeling that we watch all the same movies, so you know that one).
I especially loved his little imagining of Billy crying over Jake's grave.
All in all, this was amazing. I'm going to go back and read it again. Right now.
| MarcyJ chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
Wohoo! This was expertly written (as always!)
| TheLettersFromNoOne chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
I love how you write Edward's perspective. I can't wait for the next chapter!
| lumierelove chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
This chapter expresses tht internal Battle Edward feels throughout Twilight. You did an excellent job of expressing it.

| iamtabby chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
This is not my favourite chapter in this series but it is still very good. You have Edward down pat, as always. Keep it coming.
| Kuroi Garyuu chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
This is so good! I love hearing Edward's side of this! I really want you to update son! I want to hear the next part-about Denali and Tanya! Update soon please!
| lisadianemill chapter 1 . 3/14/2008
This is the first time I have read this scene in EPOV. You did an awesome job, can't wait to read more.
| selinnium chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
I always forget that Edward is OLD! I still think of his jealousy as something shallow and petty. But when I think about further, his jealousy probably IS something different. Thanks!
| Treewriter chapter 3 . 3/14/2008
loved it!

Item description for The Land of Promise (A Place to Call Home) by Al Lacy & JoAnna Lacy...Overview
Cherokee Rose and police chief Britt Claiborne are forced onto reservations along with their descendants and the five "civilized" tribes in the Oklahoma District. With indescribable sadness and anger, the Indians look on as thousands of prospective settlers and their families enter the district and claim 160-acre sections of land in the Oklahoma land rush.
Publishers Description
Britt Clairborne, United Cherokee Nation Chief of Police, and his sweet wife, Cherokee Rose, face challenging times. It's 1889, and the Cherokees are being moved onto reservations within the Oklahoma District. The remainder of the land promised to them decades ago is being opened for white settlers to homestead. Of course, the Cherokees are unhappy. Some are outraged and want to stand and fight-despite Britt's warning that they will be punished swiftly and severely by the U.S. Army.
Before long, white settlers converge from all directions. Lee and Kathy Belden and their two children come from Texas, where they lost their farm after years of drought. Martha Ackerman, newly widowed, arrives from Kansas with her three young children and her parents. Craig Parker, fresh out of prison and cleared of a bank robbery he didn't commit, travels with his loyal wife, Gloria, from Missouri. And so many others. They all come for land and a new beginning, yet face so much that is unexpected: fraudulent sooners, funnel clouds, rattlesnakes, even oil. And of course, unexpected kindness and God's provision.
Will the Cherokees and the settlers all find a home in the land of promise? And perhaps a spiritual home as well?

text: So I just got done spending hours hard-resetting and re-imaging my phone. Once I got everything up and running, I decided to go through my 2500 gmail contacts and cut them down to 315. I did just that, but the "people" widget was still showing thousands of names, even after a battery pull. I decided that maybe Touchdown was causing the problem (I use it for Exchange), but then I read somewhere that Touchdown keeps it's own database and doesn't sync with the "people" widget. After deleting Touchdown and restarting the phone, I cannot enter any app that uses any of my contacts without it just hanging (i.e. Handcent, ContactsU, etc). The sync icon is in the notification bar, but it doesn't appear to be doing anything. Now that I deleted Touchdown, the phone should only have the gmail account on board. What is causing this problem? Why did deleting Touchdown cause an issue? I don't want to hard reset again, but I can't access any of my contacts now. Hope someone can help.

Kidney Donor Sought for C.PP.S. Member
Our Fr. Ralph Verdi, C.PP.S., feels that he has much more to give to the people of God, but chronic, life-threatening kidney disease is slowing him down. In need of a kidney transplant at the age of 71, Fr. Verdi is too old to wait for a kidney from a deceased donor. Read more to see how people can help.
For over 44 years, Fr. Ralph Verdi, C.PP.S., has provided encouragement and hope to people on their journey of life. Despite suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD), a disease that, unless he receives a transplant from a living donor, will eventually claim his life, Fr. Verdi continues to do what he can to minister to the people of God. He continues to write music and Sunday reflections, hoping his music and reflections will inspire others.
He refuses to allow his disease to strip away is faith and hope. "I teach my Sunday school students how to be faithful and trust that they will not be forsaken in their hour of need. This knowledge is in me also as I stand here in my hour of need."
You can follow Fr. Verdi's journey on Facebook: Find a Kidney for Ralph. Fr. Verdi encourages you, even if you are unable to donate a kidney, to leave an encouraging message. "I've heard it said somewhere that kind words help the afflicted find comfort."
To view his Sunday reflections, visit his website Words of a Soul.
If you, or someone you know, are interested in donating a kidney, please call the Ohio State's Comprehensive Transplant Center at 614-93-6724 or 800-293-8965 or the University of Cincinnati Kidney Transplant Program at 513-584-7001 to find out more.
If you seriously consider donating after you speak with them, it would be helpful to mention that you would like to designate your donation for Fr. Verdi.

Funding Opportunities
eConsult Pilot Project
Clinical Departments
SEAMO Backgrounder
(This FAQ is also
available for downloading
as a PDF.)
What is the Alternative Funding Plan for academic medicine at Queen's University?
In July 1994, Queen's University, its principal teaching hospitals (Kingston General Hospital, Hotel Dieu Hospital and Providence Care) and the Clinical Teachers' Association of Queen's University entered into a funding agreement with the Ontario Ministry of Health and the Ontario Medical Association. Under this agreement funding is provided for physicians' services to include the full mission of an academic health sciences centre: clinical services, education of health professionals, and research into health and health care.
Alternative funding replaced funds from a wide variety of government sources. These included: fee-for-service billings, the Clinical Education Budget support for faculty, existing alternative payment plans, t-fees, and other sources of funding.
The original contract was for five years. On July 1st 1999, the contract was amended and extended for a further eighteen months. A further three month extension allowed for completion of negotiations for a new multiyear agreement. On March 8th 2001, the five SEAMO member organizations, the Ontario Ministry of Health, and the Ontario Medical Association ratified a new four year Agreement.
Effective April 1st 2005, SEAMO entered into a new funding agreement with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ontario Medical Association. This new agreement introduced fundamental changes to how SEAMO was funded. In particular, the new Agreement blurs the distinction between Alternative Payment and Alternative Funding.
How does an Alternative Funding Plan differ from an Alternative Payment Plan?
An Alternative Funding Plan (AFP) and an Alternative Payment Plan (APP) are not the same thing. An Alternative Payment Plan is another mechanism for paying physicians. Generally speaking, alternative payment buys physicians' services either as FTE's, numbers of hours, or sessional payments. That is, funding under an alternative payment plan pays for physician
An Alternative Funding Plan provides funds for the purchase of deliverables. These could include care for a defined number of persons (capitation), defined quality of care, population health, or other measures of health system
The new funding agreement provides significant base funding for the organization. This base was set at 102% of the previous year's funding level. Significant additional funds are available and are tied to "shadow billing". By introducing payment tied to fee-for-service, a hybrid of Alternative Funding and Alternative Payment was created.

The Importance of Plug Adapter for Travelers
If you are traveling abroad then be sure to take all your necessary travel accessories along with the plug adapter. Though this might seem a useless thing but you would gradually understand its importance when your laptop or cell phone require charging. Small in size and light in weight this adapter is simply a connector that changes the plug shape to match the power outlet. It does not change the voltage or electrical output in any way. As different countries operate on different power grids therefore the plug shape is the only difference between your equipment and the electrical system you are planning to use.
The universal plug adapter solves all your problems as they have one unit that can plug into the outlets of almost all countries. The only thing that you need to ensure is that you get the correct plug for the country that you are visiting. These adapters are now being made free of hazardous substances like lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium. Completely safe they are portable in size and can easily be carried anywhere. Whatever adapter you purchase you need to check that it has all the safety requirements and it should be specified on the package.
Generally, any travel adapter that you would purchase will have a set for foreign outlets but you need to check the region that you are traveling to. An adapter which is working in one country would not be suitable for another one. The adapter is grounded and features an insulated design for better safety. You can even purchase these adapters online from different retailers. Easily affordable and convenient to use these adapters help you in using all the electrical appliances which you want to use. While buying online do ensure to check the plug shapes, holes and size of the socket for the country you are visiting.
Do keep in mind to take a journey adapter with you so that you can enjoy using the electrical appliances. If you are a frequent traveler then this adapter should always be there in your travel accessory kit. Whether you wish to run an iPod or charge your cell phone this small adapter has a huge role to play.

"Excellent staff and service"
About: Whiston Hospital Whiston Hospital Prescot L35 5DR
Posted via NHS Choices
Following an accident at home resulting in a break requiring complex surgery I arrived at Whiston frightened and in pain. The staff, from A&E to the orthopaedic wards I spent time on (3C & 3B) were all amazing. I encountered kindness & compassion on a daily basis. Nothing was too much trouble and I was nurtured, supported & encouraged for the duration of my stay.
I can express nothing but gratitude to the skilled Consultant and Doctors who fixed me and to the excellent nurses and all support staff who not only treated me but cared for me. I have returned home with confidence instilled in me by the lovely professional, friendly people I was privileged to meet. I cannot praise the excellent service and care I received highly enough.
Response from Whiston Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Thank you for your comments. We are delighted to hear that your experience of our Orhopedic wards was positive. We are very proud of our orthodpedic staff and will pass on your very kind and positive feedback to them. Once again thank you for taking your time to inform us of your experience.

Katie Holmes' lawyer criticises fathers' rights advert
Katie Holmes' lawyer has criticised fathers' rights activists in the U.K. for targeting the actress in a new campaign, branding the advert "offensive". The Batman Begins star, who has a seven-year-old daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise, was one of a number of female stars featured in a new advertising drive by the Fathers4justice group.
The poster featuring Holmes has a picture of the star captioned, "Katie, do you believe in equal parents, equal love?" and the actress' lawyer Jonathan Wolfe has now released a statement condemning the advert.
He tells Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper, "The campaign is baseless and offensive. Katie will continue to have no comment on personal and private matters that affect her family."
Other stars targeted in the campaign include Halle Berry, Kim Basinger and Kate Winslet, who has threatened to take legal action over the poster featuring her image, which her lawyers have called "misleading and seriously defamatory".

Black Lace Wedding Cake
I love it when my clients are willing to go in brave new directions with their wedding cake. And this black based wedding cake has been percolating in the back of my mind for a long time. The bride told me a lovely story about the first time she met her groom. She was wearing a black lace dress and he started to call her Lacy. The nickname stuck and would end up inspiring the couple's wedding cake. Inspiration comes from the most unexpected places.
Next time we'll cover the whole cake in white lace!
