I listened to a fascinating podcast yesterday about blame. This is a topic that we all know something about and likely deal with daily. We blame ourselves for our weaknesses and we seek to blame others when they act in a way that we deem blameworthy. Some are quick to blame; others slow. There are probably few emotions quite as powerful as feeling that you have been unfairly blamed. It is, of course, very hard to admit to blame when we feel we should do exactly that.
So what does blame have to do with animals? A lot, actually. A philosopher interviewed for the podcast explored the implications of historical blame. Do we blame slaveowners for slavery if they lived at a time when very few were questioning the morality of owning slaves? This dilemma applies nicely to animal exploitation, manifestations of which are codified by custom and law to be perfectly normative, that is, beyond blame. So do those of us on the periphery of this custom blame those who eat animals today?
Perhaps not at this point in time. But the purpose of activism, whether it seems to be momentarily effective or not, is to push the idea of animal liberation like a lazy elephant into the room so we can, alas, start pointing to it. So we can begin to resort to blame as a kind of shaming technique. Obviously (well, come to think of it, it's not so obvious to many of the smartest people I know), morality is to a large extent historically contingent. We are yet at a point where blame will "work" as a shaming or enforcing strategy. But that doesn't mean we won't arrive at that point soon—after all, think of how many people you know who say "don't tell me about how animals are treated!; I don't want to know!" Denial can only last so long before it runs aground. Then the game really changes. The elephant shows up.
A question that did not come up in the podcast but seems really interesting to me is that of reparation. When we do turn the corner and make blame a legitimate social and legal response to the cruelty of animal eating, and when we reach a point in time in which we look back and decare "can you believe we did that?," what will we owe animals? Of course, they won't ask for reparations. But do we owe them them nonetheless? And in what form? After all, all of us will have ancestors who benefitted in one way or another from producing and consuming animals. Or will we simply say, "they know not what they did?"
Could it be, I wonder, that in the deep collective unconscious of humanity, there is this monstrous apprehension of being blamed that keeps us from progressing to a point at which blame for harming animals has real power to evoke real fear in what we really have done wrong?

OK, I'll take a whack at some of the questions you just posed.
"So do those of us on the periphery of this custom blame
those who eat animals today?"
I can't speak for others but I do, although I would not use the word blame but rather "take full responsibility for." There is basically no doubt in the scientific world that many/most nonhuman animal species feel and experience many of the same emotions and suffering as humans. The amount of data and factual information is sitting right there for anyone to see. The degree of mental energy involved in denial just to satisfy an appetite must be very difficult. I wish people on the other side of this issue would just let go and accept the reality. There are many tasty vegan foods, and they might just feel better physically and emotionally.
"When we do turn the corner and make blame
a legitimate social and legal response to the cruelty
of animal eating, and when we reach a point in
time in which we look back and declare "can you
believe we did that?," what will we owe animals?
Of course, they won't ask for reparations.
But do we owe them them nonetheless?
And in what form?"
I honestly don't know what we can offer NH animals, but at the very least we owe them our heartfelt and grief-stricken sorrow, guilt, and overwhelming regret. I personally feel that the karmic weight of what humans have done to nonhuman animals will take a very, very long time to alleviate, and of course, there is no way we can offer true reparations to those individual beings who have suffered grievously and hideously at the hands of humans. The best I think we can do is treat all beings we meet in the future with kindness and respect and pray (for those who pray) or ask for forgiveness and offer our apologies to the survivors.
"Could it be, I wonder, that in the deep collective
unconscious of humanity, there is this monstrous
apprehension of being blamed that keeps us from
progressing to a point at which blame for harming
animals has real power to evoke real fear in what
we really have done wrong?"
For those who are already struggling with their food and lifestyle choices, that is a real possibility – that the depth of regret and emotional pain one might experience upon knowing the truth about how they participated in such atrocities might incline one to stay in denial and maintain the status quo. But since very few of us are vegan from birth, we have all had to process the gravity of our previous choices. Longtime vegans might be able to help those who are afraid of the emotional onslaught this realization could bring. As for those who wish to continue killing, exploiting, consuming, that is probably not a concern, since they either do not believe the science or believe it and don't care.
"push the idea of animal liberation like a lazy elephant into the room."
I'm tired of hearing people advocate for pushing elephants into rooms. An elephant belongs in the wild, not in a room, and the fact that he has to be pushed clearly shows that he does not wish to be in said room. And why must you attempt to shame the elephant, calling him "lazy" because he does not wish to be pushed?
Mountain: Just what I was thinking!!
My advocacy position for the last few years is to skip the blame (but not the why, which many a guilty conscience likely automatically deduces self- blame or inferred blame- even if blame was not part of the strategy of message) and move straight to vegan shift empowerment. While it is hard to have compassion and patience for those stubborn denialiats, I believe to develop love and caring in others we must be love and caring ourselves when dealing with this subject. The contempt, the blame, the vitriol, the snark, the misanthropy, the rage, is what makes people tune out, shut down and reject the message, and the messenger.
AVA: So true, but sometimes so difficult.
I wish for the day when the meat eaters do feel guilt and take blame. Unfortunately, there are so many who do not care. My own husband eats meat even though he knows so many of the problems it causes not only to the animals, the environment, but to his own health.
And I have several rescued companion animals. The dogs and cats cannot survive without meat. I am looking forward to the manufactured meat that we have just recently been introduced to so no animal has to die in order for my animals to survive.
Dogs and cats can survive without meat. There are proprietary vegan foods for them. However, cats are difficult on the whole if they have been brought up on meat. veggiepets.com (UK).
At one time I had six cats, some would eat the vegan prop. food, some would not. I (unwillingly) give my two dogs a very small amount of proprietary meat dog food mixed in with a vegan prop. dog food (and a bit of veg.). I know they prefer the meat, and I justify it to myself (rightly or wrongly), by the fact I cant explain to them what meat actually is. (if I could explain it to them, the fact that they are such lovely boys, I'm sure they would say they don't want it anymore–unlike humans who continue to consume animal products after they know the issues!!! If they understood, but still wanted to eat it, I wouldn't give it to them!! I too look forward to the day when there is far more vegan companion animal food being produced, so more likelihood of finding the ones that individual dogs and cats enjoy.
I think I know which podcast you are writing about. When I listened to it, it had a profound effect on me. I felt remorse in my gut as I tried to identify who I ate or exploited. And I remembered the times (clear opportunities) over the years where I could have woken up but didn't. There is remorse there but not guilt.
There are many people, good, ethical people in so many ways, who will not listen to the animal right arguments. They tend to take the information about animal suffering as someone telling them what to do. On different podcast, Joe Cross (of Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead) asked a packed audience, rhetorically, "How many people like to be told what to do?" and very few people raised their hands. He then asked, "How many people like to tell other people what to do?" and of course, nearly everyone raised their hands. I think that is why the health argument (bypassing the animal ethics issues) is more effective at times. Guilt does not seem to work if the person to be experiencing it associates the feeling primarily with the messenger.
Transforming that remorse into action is the most effective thing one can do to help the animals and our world as a whole.
Ah, it is a different podcast that I heard. Nevertheless, blame/remorse can be two sides of the same coin.

Investors Relations firms
6 RepliesJump to last post
Dec 15, 2008 2:20 pm
Do you know of any good IR firms that have a decent popularity with a clean record that can produce? Know of any that work for stock in lieu of cash?
Let me know via PM.
Miss J
For a client going public?
?!?!?! To keep the anonymity about it.. It doesn't really matter. Do you know of anyone you could refer?
Thanks for your help! Miss J
That's fine. But asking about a good IR firm is like asking if anyone knows of a good restaurant in New York. It depends on the type of company, the industry, the size, location, established company vs. small-cap startup, etc.
I dealt with several in my former life, but some would NOT be ideal for a firm in say, the technology sector. If you want to PM with any specifics (I don't care about company name), I can give you some ideas.
One other thing... you were referring to Investor Relations, correct?
Yes, check your inbox I sent you a PM.

sash controls handle
A home owner from Omaha, NE says:
May 31, 2014
I have a Sash Controls door handle on my sliding back door that broke where the bolts go through. It has the number 060-1255 inside. Is this all you need for me to get it replaced? Are there different colors? How much will it cost? Do I purchase from you or is there some one local in Omaha, Ne?
Thank You
Thank You

I'm afraid we cannot identify what you have based on that number alone. You could possibly consider our 82-035, but there are no guarantees it will work. You will have to carefully compare the specs we show for it to your original hardware. If it does not match, please take a few pictures of your handle set to start and we can work from there.

What a crazy week!
The last week has been crazy for us.
S slammed her finger in the front door. She ripped the nail out and broke the tip. She wound up having surgery to put the nail back under the skin. That surgery was the longest 10 mins of my life!
I was backed into in a parking lot so my car has a nice dent in it. Because it was a parking lot they can't prove fault. Blah blah blah. I feel the transmission is starting to go so I won't be getting it fixed. It has 172,000 miles on it. I won't be to sad when it dies.
We also found out that k's boyfriend isn't the "perfect" kid he plays himself out to be. Can't get into too much but he is not allowed in my house.
I also have back surgery scheduled for June 11. Trying to save money and get things organized before then!
I will be glad when I finally get to rest!
Re: What a crazy week!
Wow that is a crazy week. Hope you find rest soon!
Re: What a crazy week!
I hope your week gets better soon!
Re: What a crazy week!
Hope the rest of your week was better and S heals quickly.
Re: What a crazy week!
:dothug: you poor thing, I hope things settle down for you soon.
Thanks everyone! Things have settled down a bit. Now it's just the normal end of school year crazy!

A Thanksgiving Guide to Turkey in Rap Songs
While you're treating your taste buds to some turkey, why not do the same for your ear drums with our guide to the sonic renderings of Thanksgiving's main dish.
Turkey. It might be dangling from jaws right now. It might be in your oven or in your belly or on your plate or on your television screen or in your greasy, gravy-soaked, bone-gripping paws. It's Thanksgiving, motherfuckers, and turkey is the bird and the bird is the word. Word.
Yeah, turkey is everywhere today, but that doesn't mean that it's nowhere other days, you know? Turkey is great, and we shouldn't be limited in discussing it. Rappers certainly don't feel that way. They rap about turkey all year long, and that's just great, because like turkey, rap is great, and rappers know that.
There are approximately three uses of the work "turkey" in rap songs, and I say approximately because there are actually many more than that, but of the most common uses, there are three. For instance, Action Bronson saying "Smoking fucking Thanksgiving turkey bags" before "9-24-11" is likely the only use of the word to describe the size of ones vaporizer smoking apparatus, which in this case, is presumably a Volcano.
It does neighbor one of the three main uses, though, which is to allude to Thanksgiving, the reason why I'm writing this inane piece to begin with. Thanksgiving symbolizes family, feasting, and time off, but for many who came from harsh conditions, it symbolizes the lack of all of those things. The most memorable instance is likely Jay Rock on Kendrick Lamar's "Money Trees," rapping, "Baking soda YOLA whipping / Ain't no turkey on Thanksgiving." A similar sentiment is heard during Cam'ron's verse on "Christmas in Harlem" — "No turkey or greens, just Jimbos" — and Public Enemy's "Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man" — "Eatin' welfare turkey out of the can."
I didn't intend for that to rhyme, but it did, and I think that's a pretty accurate reflection on the power of turkey. Further Thanksgiving references can be found in Eminem's "Music Box" — "He's dancing with carcasses cheek to cheek / Like a Thanksgiving turkey, a holiday ham" — but what this first use really alludes to is turkey as food, and there are many more ways to eat our gobbling bird-friend than to cook that some-bitch whole.
There's turkey bacon (Jay Z "Picasso Baby"), turkey burgers (Fabolous "Really Tho"), turkey legs (Kendrick Lamar "Heaven or Hell"), turkey sandwiches (Action Bronson "Amadu Diablo"), and turkey lasagna (2 Chainz "G.O.O.D. Morning"). Shit is delicious, ok, end of discussion. Moving on.
You might be able to guess the next two uses, perhaps thinking of a certain '70s term used to describe a clown, an idiot, a bullshitter, someone who is lame in every conceivable way. I'm talking jive turkeys, homie, which is occasionally shortened to just turkey. Without a doubt, the most famous instance of its use in rap is on Jay Z's "Encore" in which, and I'm guessing you're already saying it in your head, the interlude before the third verse goes, "Ow, it's star time / This man is mean, he's killin' all y'all jive turkeys." Hov chants come soon after, and yadda yadda yadda, you get it. It's the summit of turkey as a diss in a song. But by no means the only instance.
In "Push Thru" by Talib Kweli, Curren$y lends a verse, saying, "I ain't bluffing / Kush puffing on you jive turkeys." Indeed, a jive turkey is the perfect candidate to blow your kush smoke on to. Stupid ass turkey.
Drake gets in on the fun, too, in a throwback song that predates So Far Gone. On "Comeback Season" Drizzy raps "Your man is a turkey you wit' a liar / I'm clearin' the air I'm a humidifier." Now, before you pounce on that terrible punchline like a family on a turkey at the Thanksgiving table, understand that the mixtape that bears the song came out in 2007, when Drake was still sharpening his turkey carving chops. Either way, I think it's safe to say that that girl's man was a turkey, and deserved the roast.
Ok, now I'm guilty of the terrible punchlines and should probably quit. But quit how? Well, cold turkey of course. Which is the third and final use of turkey that rappers so regularly deploy. The expression, for the clinically unaware, means to give up a habit abruptly rather than gradually.
You may hear the phrase while listening to the Marshall Mathers LP 2. Eminem has been open about his battle with addiction, but on "Evil Twin, " he kicks another substance, rapping "I done quit chicken heads cold turkey." As you should.
There are plenty of sings titled "Cold Turkey," and even more lyrics that use it, but a standout track is one that Em happens to be featured on — "Lean Back (Remix)." Before Em rips it, talking about pistols in his pants and whatnot, Mase references the years he took off from the game to be a pastor, saying, "Who else could take 5 years off / Cold turkey / Come back and fly leers off." The obvious answer is no one, except that Mase has since attempted to reignite his career, and both times that shit did not take off. No disrespect to Mase.
So while you ponder the difference in taste between dark and white meat, or why it's called cranberry sauce when that shit more resembles jello, remember that turkey can be celebrated year round with a simple scroll through your favorite rapper's catalog. You can eat a turkey sandwich in the middle of May while blowing kush in a jive turkey's face, and enjoy being a free thinking American, because that's what rap and turkey and Thanksgiving are really all about.

An angry Lagos wife, Ngozi Ezenwagu, has sent her husband, Adophus Ezenwagu, to Kirikiri prison for marrying a second wife.
The 50-year-old man was arrested and charged before a Lagos court by his barren wife after he married a second wife.
According to PM News, the 37-year-old woman told the court that she is not ready to share her husband with any woman. She explained that her husband traveled to their village in Anambra state to marry the lady against her wishes.
She said her husband brought the lady to their house to leave with them and added that he does not sleep in her room anymore. She said: "I used to be alone all night since December he brought her to Lagos."
The husband, however, explained to the court that he married a second wife because he wants to have a child. He added that he has been married for 13 years without a child.

Ezenwagu said: "I told her to bring a woman of her choice for me, but the kind of women she brought was not my taste."
"This forced me to travel to her home town and married the second wife who I brought to Lagos."
"I have not known peace in the house with Ngozi on a number of occasions went on rampage damaging valuables in the house."
He claimed that his wife lied to the police that he assaulted her and he was arrested by the Igando police division for something he did not do.
The accused, however pleaded not guilty to the one count charge of assault and has been granted bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.

It is easy to overlook the harmless-sounding Civil Contingencies Bill in such a crowded legislative programme as that announced in last week's Queen's Speech. Certainly, it is not likely to steal many column inches from the brewing political crisis over university tuition fees or the worrying new regime for asylum seekers. Nonetheless, civil libertarians have long been alarmed at the powers of the new legislation, which updates the emergency powers acts of 1920 and 1948. In the last few weeks it has been described variously as complete "legislative overkill" and "the greatest threat to civil liberties to date". So widely drawn are the proposals that Justice, the all-party civil rights group, has argued that a virulent outbreak of Dutch elm disease could constitute an emergency under the present proposals, as could a wide range of other circumstances that "pose no discernible threat to public safety or security".
Only last week a joint committee of MPs and peers warned of the proposed legislation's "potentially dangerous flaws". "The draft bill does not provide adequate safeguards to protect against the misuse of emergency powers. In the wrong hands, it could be used to undermine or even remove legislation underpinning the British constitution and infringe human rights," said Lewis Moonie, the committee's Labour chairman. "Our democracy and civil liberties could be in danger."
So what is the problem? Under the proposals, either the Queen or a Secretary of State could declare themselves satisfied that an emergency has occurred and pass whatever regulations ministers think "necessary for the purpose of preventing, controlling or mitigating" such an emergency. There are wide powers to disapply acts of Parliament, confiscate or destroy private property, as well as impose restrictions on freedom of movement. Special courts are also envisaged for those that disobey ministerial rules. Regulations would need to be reviewed every 30 days and they would have to be presented to Parliament "as soon as is reasonably practicable". They would then lapse if not approved within seven days.
Few would disagree that there should be legislation to cover a terrorist strike but that is not the only 'contingency' that ministers appear to have in mind – they also envisage fuel strikes or the spread of foot-and-mouth. Hence the 'emergency' definition includes a serious threat to the environment and "the disruption of plant or animal life", and this could indeed cover Dutch elm disease.
However, lawyers feel especially aggrieved at the way in which ministers plan to bypass any awkward challenges under the Human Rights Act. Emergency regulations are issued by a minister, not debated before Parliament, and deemed primary legislation for human rights purposes. Conor Gearty, Rausing director of the Centre for the Study of Human Rights and professor of human rights law at the London School of Economics, points out that ministers need only declare themselves satisfied that the emergency definition has been fulfilled to justify pressing the emergency button. "But just to make doubly sure that the courts don't muscle in, the bill also proposes to disapply the Human Rights Act so as to ensure that regulations under the new act cannot be properly challenged in court, no matter how draconian or disproportionate they might prove to be in practice," he adds.

The idea of this website is simple. Every 5 years a new team of European Commissioners is chosen, normally as a result of a messy behind the scenes deal between the Member States. Last time this happened in 2004 we were lucky to end up with 8 female Commissioners. This time around it looks like the gender balance will be even worse.
We believe in gender balance. Neither men nor women should be under-represented in political bodies. Especially not in one of the most important political bodies of the European Union, the European Commission, representing half a billion European citizens. To challenge this we are proposing a Commission of 26 competent women!
Rumours have been circulating that the European Parliament might refuse to approve the team of 27 Commissioners unless it contains at least as many women as the outgoing Commission. We support the European Parliament in doing this, to push for a gender balanced executive, but in stead of proposing simple quotas of women, we here put forward individual names from each and every EU member state. We believe that in order to achieve gender equality, women of flesh and blood should be promoted, not only quotas or numbers!
Who's behind it?
This website started from a conversation between Jon Worth and Maria Weimer over a dinner in Brussels. Two prominent bloggers about EU matters – Eurosocialiste and Julien Frisch – were brought into the team from the very start. We've been driven on by the lively debate on Twitter about top EU positions, and the Woman @ EU Top Twibbon campaign.
Between the four of us we have quite some experience in online campaigns (Who Do I Call, Atheist Bus Campaign) and we're all EU specialists, one way or another. No-one has asked us to run this website; we're simply people working in and around the European Union institutions. We consider ourselves to be feminists, and we wanted to do something. This website is what we came up with. Some of us are members of political parties, some of us are not – this is a multi-party, non-partisan initiative.
Who's paying you?
No-one! We're all volunteers, and the website design work and hosting has been done by Jon Worth who works as a website designer.

If your Summer Institute program requires instructor consent for admission (Acting and Performance, Advanced Theater, Applications of Nanoscience, Art, Dance/Performing Arts, Digital Filmmaking, Nanoscale Microscopy Lab, Nanoscience Lab, Sci|Art NanoLab, and Teen ArchStudio), you must be approved first to enroll in the program. You will be notified via email of your admission status. Once approved, you can enroll in the program by paying the required deposit.
Once enrolled in one of our academic courses or an eligible Summer Institute program, you will need to complete the Summer Scholars Support Online Application Form, which will be available March 1 through 4PM on April 1.

"We are really impressed by your service and prompt delivery and our family in the UK are to quote "extremely grateful for their lovely gift"
Jeff Colley - Perth, Western Australia - December 14, 2012
"One very happy customer. Everything went smooth right from placing order, getting contacted by a customer Representative and delivery of the product. Ordered "The Gifts of Heaven Holiday Assortment" to a friend in USA to surprise him on his birthday.. The gift was delivered on time and was exactly the same as shown in pic. I will definitely be back to buy more and recommend this service to all my friends and family. Wish Giftbasketsoverseas.com all the very best. Keep up the Great service. Thanks, Soumya"
Soumya - Waterloo NSW, Australia - January 11, 2013
"I was very hesitant to use an unknown online process after several bad incidents in the past but I was so very happy with the results. The service was efficient and the contact from staff was fast and courteous. I was reassured when the ladies at GiftbasketsOverseas immediately noted the special delivery address and the fact that it was for my 90 year old Aunties Birthday. Auntie was surprised and teary at receiving such a wonderful basket and flowers. She was overwhelmed and the envy of her peers and fellow residents. Thank you so much for helping me celebrate a special lady. I can't recommend you highly enough. "
Nely Freeman - Australia - June 13, 2015
"Best Service Ever! Our son is in Spain for a semester and got quite sick - had to take himself to the hospital, get antibiotics, had no one to take care of him. So I found Gift Baskets Overseas online, ordered a healthy breakfast basket, paid with PayPal and crossed my fingers that it wasn't a scam. Not only is it legitimate, but when I didn't have a landline to give them for him they tracked one down (and sent it to me so I'd have it too) and when I gave them an incomplete address (because that's all I had), they tracked that down too. My son got his basket and I'm amazed that service like this still exists. Awesome, awesome, awesome. "

What Is Americana? Its Artists Define the Genre
Americana's breadth is as deep as it is wide. The genre embraces artists playing everything from gospel to pop, R&B to country, folk to soul; it's not so much about a particular sound as it is about a particular feeling. But how do you define Americana? How do you explain a type of music that's more about the presence and emotion it evokes than anything else?
Sept. 20-25, 2016, the Americana Music Festival spent a week honoring the artists and industry leaders who define the unique diversity of a musical genre that has spanned decades and includes some of the most-loved and -respected artists. Amid intimate showcases, networking seminars and parties, one of the week's highlights was the 2016 Americana Music Awards hosted at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Margo Price and more were honored for their contributions to Americana, and stars such as Bonnie Raitt, the Lumineers, and Alison Krauss took the stage at the Mother Church to perform — and, yes, they all fit within the genre.
On the red carpet prior to the awards ceremony, The Boot asked stars such as Jim Lauderdale and the Milk Carton Kids, among others, just how they would define their own genre. The results — as one might expect — were as varied as Americana music itself. Flip through the gallery above to find out what Emmylou Harris, Andrew Leahey and more had to say.

Breaking: News outlets confirm rumors that Trump plans to dismantle protections for Bears Ears. Give today to fight for our National Monuments.
On Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska, a coalition of conservation organizations, including The Wilderness Society, is working with partners to undo the damage caused by decades of clearcut logging in the Tongass National Forest—logging that had devastated t
Both teem with wildlife, and the Tongass supports one of the world's best salmon fisheries, with millions of wild salmon returning to more than 5,500 salmon streams in the region each year. Together, these important renewable natural resources also support the region's main eco
We were sitting at the kitchen table of a B&B on Prince of Wales Island a few years ago when the owner – a former logger – looked me straight in the eye and asked about an idea that could improve his future: "Do you think other people want to do this?"
A bill from Rep. Doc Hastings (Wash.) would force unnecessary and costly development in the Bureau of Land Management's National Petroleum Reserve – Alaska (NPRA) for little benefit to the American people.
The Wilderness Society has identified top priority Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and Forest Legacy land acquisition projects across the country.
I have never visited the Tongass National Forest, and there's probably a good chance that I never will. But like many other silence-evoking places, I find both comfort and pride in knowing it exists today much as it did in the past.
While the hearing was mostly focused on new ways to produce 3-D maps of oil and gas reserves and advances in directional drilling, there was also discussion of the impacts that new and improving drilling technologies can have on wild landscapes, like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
This map breaks down Alaska's North Slope by sold, deferred, active, and potential leases, as well as Barrow Native Lands and Arctic Slope Regional Corporation Surface and Subsurface Lands.
Global warming is already affecting Alaska and will continue to do so for decades to come. In the absence of national policy that jumpstarts the clean energy economy by ramping down dangerous carbon emissions, our economy and wildlands are at an even greater risk.
A decade after it was first adopted by the U.S. Forest Service, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule has proven to be remarkably successful in protecting the 58.5 million acres of national forest roadless areas from road building and logging.

Family Focus: Tips for Photographing Busy Kids
Many of you know that I have two little girls. One is six, the other is two-and-half and they are both extremely busy children. I feel like the majority of my photos, once they started moving, were all a blur.
Now, it's only getting worse since they started dance and gymnastics. Try snapping the perfect cartwheel or handstand. It used to be virtually impossible for me. Not anymore! These tips for photographing busy kids are going to change your world.
Invest in a Good Camera
Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. I've always loved my camera, and if you've seen my food photography, you know that I can take a pretty good still photo. When it comes to my girls, they have to be posing, which is frustrating now that they are even more active than before.
I recently told my husband that we needed to upgrade to something meant for shooting moving objects so I don't miss those spectacular moments.
Video Is All the Rage
If you've caught the Snapchat bug then you're well aware that video is all the rage. You can find me snapping away as melrosefamily. It's a blast!
However, I quickly learned that at certain events I want something more substantial then my iPhone to take a video. I'd highly recommend having a camera that can take video as well. I shot this clip with my camera. It's super short, but it shows exactly what Riley needs to be working on at gymnastics.
You're probably wondering, "How does that possibly show anything," right? Let me blow your mind.
This is my daughter trying to perfect her handstands.
Have the Ability to Pull Apart the Video
I'm not talking about video editing. I'm simply talking about the ability to see a video frame-by-frame so that you can catch images like the one below.
Possess the Ability to Pull Images from Videos
I'm sure you're scratching your head. A couple of weeks ago I didn't even know that this technology existed. Through a feature called 4K PHOTO Mode, Panasonic LUMIX G7 cameras shoot video and allow you to pick frames within the video to then turn into photographs.
This picture of Riley is one of her favorites because she's in her early stages of gymnastics and doesn't quite have the confidence in her ability to try a handstand. When she saw this photo she had no idea that she was getting herself so vertical. She was beaming with pride. I never could have caught this at this height if it had not been able to pull this photo from the video using 4K PHOTO Mode.
Now I can show my daughter how to perfect her handstands.
Educate Your Kids About the Technology
My girls are at an age where all they want to see are photos of themselves. They'll act a little sassier if they know that they're being recorded. It's just human nature to want to put forth your best side when you know you're being watched.
Riley thought I was taking pictures and the photo below shocked her. I've been trying for weeks to describe how her legs look when she does a cartwheel. I just couldn't get her to understand. No more explaining after seeing this shot, which again was pulled using 4K PHOTO Mode.
Think of all the ways that you could catch your kiddos in action! With 4K PHOTO Mode, you could catch that perfect jump shot or leaping catch.
What moment are you hoping to catch?
Save up to $200 on a Panasonic LUMIX G7 camera when you buy today!
This is a sponsored post written by The Melrose Family on behalf of Panasonic LUMIX. All opinions are 100% her own.

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro dies at age 90
HAVANA (AP) – Former President Fidel Castro, who led a rebel army to improbable victory in Cuba, embraced Soviet-style communism and defied the power of 10 U.S. presidents during his half century rule, has died at age 90.
With a shaking voice, President Raul Castro said on state television that his older brother died at 10:29 p.m. Friday. He ended the announcement by shouting the revolutionary slogan: "Toward victory, always!"
Castro's reign over the island-nation 90 miles (145 kilometers) from Florida was marked by the U.S.-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis a year later that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. The bearded revolutionary, who survived a crippling U.S. trade embargo as well as dozens, possibly hundreds, of assassination plots, died 10 years after ill health forced him to hand power over to Raul.
Castro overcame imprisonment at the hands of dictator Fulgencio Batista, exile in Mexico and a disastrous start to his rebellion before triumphantly riding into Havana in January 1959 to become, at age 32, the youngest leader in Latin America. For decades, he served as an inspiration and source of support to revolutionaries from Latin America to Africa.
His commitment to socialism was unwavering, though his power finally began to fade in mid-2006 when a gastrointestinal ailment forced him to hand over the presidency to Raul in 2008, provisionally at first and then permanently. His defiant image lingered long after he gave up his trademark Cohiba cigars for health reasons and his tall frame grew stooped.

Nikuman is a popular snack in Japan. It is served hot so you may not see it during the hot seasons but you can see them sold at many places during autumn and winter. It is established as a snack during the cold seasons in Japan, reminding us of the approaching winter.
History of Nikuman in Japan
Nikuman was originally introduced to Japan as "chukaman" (Chinese-style steamed bun). Initially it was sold only at specialty shops in Chinatown, then started to be sold to Japanese consumers around 1927. Chukaman sold at an old established food company in Shinjuku, Tokyo is still very popular today. Among chukaman, nikuman with meat filling inside was especially a hit, and gradually spread throughout Japan. Convenience stores started selling nikuman in the 1990's and became a big hit. It's a popular snack food for students after school and business persons.
Nikuman Ingredients
Nikuman is a steamed bun with meat filling wrapped by white fluffy skin. The ingredients are finely chopped pork meat, onion and shiitake mushrooms. The soft texture of meat and juicy gravy make it appealing. It tastes good as is or is eaten with sauce and mustard depending on the shop.
Where to eat Nikuman in Japan
People often buy nikuman at convenience stores. You will find warm nikuman placed in a clear case next to the cashier. Ask the store staffer to take it out for you. You can eat it straight away. At specialty shops you can order freshly made nikuman. In Osaka there is a famous chain store specializing in nikuman. It is so popular that some visitors to Osaka buy nikuman as souvenirs. Some supermarkets sell nikuman to heat it up in a microwave.
"man" other than Nikuman
In Japan, there are food called "man" filled with various kinds of ingredients other than nikuman. A representative is "an-man" which is filled with "anko" red bean paste and has a distinctive rich sweetness. "Pizza-man" is made with meat and vegetable filling seasoned with tomato ketchup. Similarly, "curry-man" is made with meat and vegetable filling then seasoned with curry powder. In addition, each convenience store chain introduce their own flavor every year such as the ones with cheese as well as with hamburg steak.

Another Ravens game, another CBS national broadcast crew, and another big, fat, drool-riddled yawn.
While some may be impressed with what Dan Fouts & Ian Eagle brought to the broadcast for this week's Ravens at Cowboys game, I was left rather unimpressed, bored and a victim of my ADHD (watching my cat chase its tail between plays became more interesting than anything Eagle & Fouts had to say). I mean, I nerd out when I watch games: I have social media opened up, stat sheets, and a notebook to take notes for this specific TV Geek article where I'll write down anything noteworthy that the broadcast team says or does.
And again this week…
You totally didn't see that frog coming, did you??
This is to no fault of Eagle or Fouts though; they are both great in the booth, they don't miss a beat, they have a depth of knowledge about the game to call out particular nuances that the average eye may not catch. But in terms of grabbing viewer interest or inserting original, thought provoking, or even opinionated hints sprinkled in the broadcast?
They're less successful than the Ravens in a 2-minute drill.
Everything about the broadcast is pure vanilla, and the only thing worth listening to anymore is questionable plays being reviewed (or not). And folks, that simply will not fly. This is 2016.
If I want stats? I'll Google it or check on my ESPN or NFL app, not wait for the broadcast to mention it.
If I want to an injury update? I'll get it from Twitter, not waiting for the sideline reporter to pop up 10 minutes later.
If I want a cameraman to not follow the play downfield until it's too late? Some kid on YouTube has me covered.
So here's my suggestion to slide into the NFL drop box:
Turn to local broadcast teams within each team's region.
Before I continue on, let me preface by saying that I'm aware of the deal that the NFL currently has in place with CBS/NBC/ESPN/NFLN, I understand the contractual obligations and terms, and I also understand that none of these networks will do what I'm about to suggest. This is simply a suggestion for the league moving towards the end of those network deals as they continue to scratch their heads about ratings nose diving to levels that will make the NBA and NHL chuckle.
I think it's fair to say every local broadcast team has favoritism over the national teams on the major networks. Or at least it does in this particular market.
Personally, I'd much rather listen to Qadry Ismail dismantle the Ravens secondary for whiffing on a tackle than listen to Dan Fouts give his unbiased opinion in monotone, expressionless fashion. I'd rather listen to an uptick in Gerry Sandusky's voice when the Ravens score, than a quick passing "touchdown Baltimore…" from the CBS heads.
Fans want that excitement. That insight. That bias. They want to hear the brash truth when their team screws up and they want to hear that the sky is the limit when they are cruising through a 16-game schedule. All things that our local team does, be it pregame, post game, or during the game on the radio.
But the force-fed CBS national crew doesn't give us that, now do they? They don't make us warm and fuzzy when things go well, they just offer up some stats or critique of a play then move on to the next. And they surely don't have the masses watching and nodding in agreement when they pick apart a turnover by the offense that should never have happened other than "so you'll see here, Joe was wide open and he shouldn't be left alone."
Or something blah and uninspiring like that.
Honestly, think about this: Major League Baseball broadcasts most of their games with local teams. So does the NBA. And the NHL.
From a local sports fan perspective, I enjoy those broadcasts a million times more than the national teams we get with Ravens games. I enjoy the focus being on MY team and telling me where they are coming up short or succeeding (but mostly coming up short these days). I love the excitement or displeasure in their voices on any given play. I savor their finger wagging on failures and attaboys on great plays.
Would a switch to local broadcasts do anything for the NFL's ratings?
It wouldn't be the cure-all, but I think it would provide a noticeable uptick.
In the meantime, I may be following suit with those who mute the CBS broadcast and rely on the 98 Rock team on the radio. At least they'll ride the emotional roller coaster that is the 2016 Ravens with me.

This is why North Indian weddings are the most exciting!
Extravagant gifts, lavish decorations, and lots of food! These are the three essentials to a North Indian wedding. Being a North Indian, and having grown up with Punjabi friends, here's an accurate description of the crazy guests and relatives imperative to a North Indian wedding-
- Constantly bickering, complaining, and judging aunties
There's going to be a big group of aunties dressed in heavy sarees, with fancy jewelry and excessive makeup, who would be complaining about everything possible. "It's their only daughter's wedding, they should've atleast served desi ghee sweets", "I heard that they only gave a car, a bike, a fridge, a TV for dowry. That's it", "The red carpet was more red at Verma ji's son's wedding". You want to stay clear of these aunties, 'cause if seen, you're most likely going to be taunted about your wedding plans.
- Drunk uncles who can't get enough of that one Punjabi song
Classic. Uncles at North Indian weddings rarely leave the bartender alone. Only after they've got enough alcohol in their system they carry their drink with them away from the bar, to hit the dance floor! You will get to see the craziest dance steps ever, and a bond between all the drunk uncles stronger than fevicol. They're also going to force the DJ to play that one Punjabi song hundreds of times, and are going to make you dance with them if you're anywhere near the dance floor.
- The little pests
Party or no party, kids are annoying. But at weddings, all these little ones form a huge gang, and no one can stop them. The parents don't even try. They own everyone. They run around screaming, pushing everyone, torturing the poor guy responsible for serving ice cream, and if you even try to say anything to them, you're going to regret it. You know what they say- "If a guy says you're ugly, he's mean. If a girl says you're ugly, she's jealous. If a kid says you're ugly, you probably are".
- The gang of grannies on the look out
These grannies were once a group of aunties, but now they're old, and their agendas have changed. They make it their life's purpose to find the perfect groom/bride for their granddaughters/sons. And what's a better occasion than weddings? There's a plethora of options. It's like a buffet.
- The annoying salis (sister-in-laws)
Now most of you are aware of the 'shoe stealing' tradition already. But for the benefit of those who're not- there's a tradition in most North Indian cultures, where the bride's sisters (and friends) steal the groom's shoes once he's taken them off, and then a negotiation takes place. In order for the groom to get his shoes back, he has to bribe the ladies. It is a fun tradition, except that most of these ladies can be pretty annoying. There's unstoppable giggling, whispering, high-pitched screaming, and let's not even talk about the number of selfies they take.
- The pervert
There's always one (sometimes more than one) annoying guy, who won't stop flirting with all the women and girls he can, at the wedding. Chances are, that he's a relative from the other side, so you can't even be too mean. This guy just can't take a hint, and he goes from rejection to rejection shamelessly.
- The VIPs
Now these guests get labeled so because of the treatment they get. They're most likely the chacha/mama (uncle) from 'America' and chances are, their kids have the ability to get on your last nerve with all the bickering about India, their accents, and all the flaunting. While you're sitting there super annoyed, the rest of the family is most likely revolving around the NRIs, offering them drinks, starters, making small talk with huge grins.
These are the basic ingredients for a big fat Indian wedding. They can get pretty annoying, but trust me, North Indian weddings are super fun too with all the dhols, and the dancing, and the yummy food.
