Colin Stetson, the indie rock king of the saxophone, has finally released his new album, History of Warfare Vol. 2: Judges and it's indescribably good.
I realize that it's my job to explain why it's so incredible, but I felt that going to the source would be more efficient. Luckily, he and I met about a year ago at Cincinnati's Music Now Festival, a 3-day concert series hosted by the members of The National in order to Promote Contemporary Music in the city… which is necessary. So I contacted Colin for a Nerdist exclusive. He's played with literally all of my favorite bands including –but not limited to –Bon Iver, LCD Soundsystem, The National, Arcade Fire, and TV on the Radio. So I knew he was cool but I had no idea how perfectly he'd fit into the Nerdist community, especially once we got on the topic of comic books, dungeons and dragons… oh, and, yeah, music.
Growing up on Hendrix and the Beatles, Stetson took the nontraditional route to make music without all the "gunk," discovering the saxophone's true minutia. This definitely shines through in Volume 2. "Things are fully formed. I spent 2 years in between the records refining the way I play and becoming more efficient at the act of playing." A very satisfying feeling, I'm sure.
His craft is definitely characterized by his physically grueling compositions. The act of playing has never seemed as challenging as it does in a Colin Stetson song. He has to blow REALLY hard for a REALLY long time into this REALLY big saxophone, and it looks exhausting. So after watching him live, I vowed that if I ever interviewed him, I would ask him the notorious cliché, "So, do you work out?" He explained that because of the way plays the instrument, he must constantly practice. "I always make sure that if I'm playing a show that lasts an hour, I need to practice for at least 2 hours. But these days, I make sure I'm practicing even more than that, so it rounds off to about 4 hours of playing to make sure I'm tip-top and to keep things evolving." He must REALLY like music.
Sometimes, this physicality surfaces throughout the album. In songs like "Red Horse", and "Clothed In The Skin Of The Dead," you can hear the deep breaths needed for Stetson to keep from passing out. "We didn't use the breathing mic for everything. I like to have the breathing element in play. I like to have it boosted simply because its human. Breathing is just another signifier that it's alive." A very refreshing outlook on music. He continues, "I really wanted to pick up and isolate every sound that's happening and then make our choices later so we can figure out a hierarchy of what the sounds will be in the final mix." In an age where everything sounds so fake and manufactured, Stetson is focused on keeping his music "alive."
There is a story being told in this album; It's a very cinematic piece. Stetson doesn't see these songs as "stand-alone;" they each tell a different piece of the story. "Something like 'Red Horse' is really aggressive and confident, and at that point in the arc… without getting too specific with this ridiculous narrative I have floating around in my head… it's just a point in which we've already sunk down to our lowest, and that is when a conscious decision is made to rally. For instance, when we get to 'Dream of Water,' there is that sense of forward momentum and the sound is mixed more clearly. Everything down to the nitty gritty, it's calculated."
I tried nudging him more about this story. It sounded so interesting and so different than your typical pop-album. He may or may not have revealed his future plans of releasing a graphic novel based on the images he's created in these compositions. In this part of the conversation, I think there was a good long silence. I remember thinking, "This is the coolest man in the world. I'm not allowed to hold him to it, but if you ever run into him on the street, I think some peer pressure for this comic book is warranted. We then wove between topics, including his adolescent love of Dungeons and Dragons, revealing that, yes, he is indeed a "Sci-Fi kid" but has also "gotten down to some 'Party In The USA.'" He owns a deluxe box-set of The Lord Of The Rings and has friends in the video game development community.
Colin Stetson, thank you for being so awesome. Nerdist welcomes you with open arms.
Download "A History Of Warfare Vol. 2: Judges" NOW and see him tour with Bon Iver later this year!!!

Legend of Onionhead
Posted 29 November 2004 - 01:38 AM
St Tammany Times Picayune
Oct 30, 1993
Lingering Legends
by Sara Shipley, St Tammany Bureau
Somewhere amid the twisted, moss covered oaks of Haaswood lies something deeper and darker than soft marsh grasses and swampy pools that catch the moon.
In the heart of the sleepy community northeast of Slidell, a legend creeps larger than life.
Ask anyone who has ventured down a gravel road at night to a secluded civil war cemetery, and they will tell you more than memories haunt these parts.
The legend of Onionhead is alive.
Onionhead, locals say, is a man whose tragic life has chained him to this cemetery.
The story varies some say he cared for children who died at his own hands. Others say he witnessed the deaths in a fire. His name is said to come from a disease that distorted his head.
He is now the perpetual caretaker of this cemetery, legends says, and he waits to capture those who wander into it.
The cemetery, which has no clear owner since it was donated by the Edmundson family decades ago as a public burial site, has become a favorite haunt in recent years for teen-agers seeking the ghoul.
No one reports ever seeing him, but that doesnt stop teens from looking around Haaswood and other secluded locations where he has been reported to lurk.
Slidell High School sophomore Teresa Fotar, who said the cemetery is a popular gathering place on Halloween, said shes been looking for Onionhead. I as with a bunch of people. I didnt see anything, she said. But still, it was spooky. I was scared, she said.
Christy Brown, a Slidell sophomore, said she was frightened by her experience there last year. The people I was with drove off and left me, she said. I started running down the road. I was so scared.
Jarrod Lajaunie, a Slidell High junior, said hes never ventured out, but hes heard enough to curdle his blood. The man killed (his kids), and wrote a sign in blood, If you come here, Ill kill you too, he said. I think a lot of people take Ouija boards out there.
One Salmen High graduate said hed been looking for Onionhead for years ago, but added, I dont believe in that scary stuff now.
Northshore High senior Rachel Wilhelm dismissed the legend. Its for a thrill, its for a high. You go there to get scared, she said.
The tale has been popular for teens for at least 10 to 15 years, but Haaswood hasnt always been Onionheads alleged stomping ground, Other places include the old Camp Salmen, Our Lady of Lourdes cemetery, and Greenwood cemetery.
Julius Hale, who has been maintaining the Haaswood cemetery since vandals broke into a tomb last year, said Onionhead has never been associated with Haaswood. Last year and years back it would have been a good cemetery to get scared in because it was all shaggy, but now its kept up, he said.
Hale said he and another man plan to keep post at the locked cemetery on Halloween night to make sure no one disturbs it.
A spokeswoman for the St. Tammany Sheriffs Office said deputies will patrol near cemeteries that night as well.
Junior Crowe of Pearl River, who has relatives buried in Haaswood, said he never heard of Onionhead, but that the cemetery has been the setting for many a ghost story.
I think its an excuse for these young boys to take these girls out there, he said.

The Real State Of The Union Is Bleak
James Kunstler, Kunstler.com
February 12, 2013, 8:56 AM
The fog of chatter about Federal Reserve money-printing shenanigans, currency wars, fiscal intransigence, exchange rates, and alphabetized rescue operations conceals the central reality of the historical moment: that all industrial economies now face epic contraction, even rip-roaring China in its absurd and spectacular bid to become the latest drive-in utopia.
The so-called advanced nations of the world are all sliding toward something less than they wish to be, and the so-called developing nations will backslide further into poverty and anarchy where development will never happen. The implacable contraction underway is the simple result of growing scarcity of cheap oil, the master resource.
Thus, in a world where fantasy has replaced analysis, the propaganda channels brim with false news of America's coming "energy independence" and the rebirth of domestic manufacturing, the coming electric car fleet, and space tourism.
There is also chatter among the paranoid that an imagined elite has deliberately engineered American collapse for fun and profit, with sideshows about the Department of Homeland Security promoting social upheaval in order to make a show of putting it down. This is all b.s. concealing the futile machinations of people so unfortunate as to hold political office in an unraveling they can't control. Where control is no longer possible, paranoid fantasies fill the vacuum of wishing for control.
One thing you can be sure of: the current sociopolitical weather will change. A front will blow through and sweep the fog away. So many circles of hazard are spinning around events that some fast-turning object will come off its axis and start smashing all the fantasies.
When that happens, it will be every community for itself, and where there are no real communities -- for instance,

I'd say so. Barry and Michelle need an overflow section for their "victims" seating area.
I'm still reading, but this line caught my eye: "This is all b.s. concealing the futile machinations of people so unfortunate as to hold political office in an unraveling they can't control."
I said in 2008 that the R's may not want their guy to win because whoever wins will get blamed for the inevitable. It's why, though I think Obama is an amateur at best and everything the movie 2016 implies, there is nothing he can do, really, so why not play golf and enjoy the good life while you can? No, I don't really cut him that much slack, but you get my drift. i.e. I agree with the remark above.
Crap. I could have written that article, though it would not have been nearly as well said or interesting. It's like the guy picked my brain and wrote about what he found, right down to the very last sentence.
BTW, we have a pretty serious chicken and egg thing going on at the bunker. We'll be planting the garden soon.
We're very insync.
I have a friend and a neighbor just down the road who got into the chicken & egg thing too.(He thinks a collapse is coming) He produces organic, open-range eggs...
I buy eggs from him that I don't even need at $2.00 a dozen just to encourage him and keep this source of food availabe. I boil the excess eggs I buy and feed them to my dogs.
We have a few goats too, but are looking to get pigmy goats. I may have the ones we have converted to hamburger. Most of my neighbors have over 15 head of cattle. I'm splitting one with one of my neighbors.
Honestly, the one thing I'm really trying to finalize is solar power. Interestingly, I'm in a "family band" where I'm the only non-family member. Everything they eat comes off their property. They gave me a bag of homemade mozzerella that was being kneaded when I arrived. When the father does work, he specializes in - get this - solar power installations. ;-)
I'm thinking somewhere around $1.50 per watt. You can find stuff cheaper on eBay, but I don't know if I trust 'em. I need to ask my friend where to get the best for the cheapest price.
Good post. True on oil, IMO. But on the "chatter," from what I've read on the Net and about television, lately, many with resources have been sponsoring doomsday stuff to fire up the panic and hysteria. And quite a few of the more radical government folks have also been stoking the craziness with declarations of plans about various kinds of control. Haven't actually watched television for about 10 years except for an occasional video on the Web. The "paranoid" "chatter" appears to be popular with people from all kinds of occupations and classes—especially too many in leadership positions.
Hope your dogs stay outside for a spell after eating them. Just sayin'. :)
I wonder if this is enough to offset the impact of obamacare.
The Fedgov is just like the family in 2007 riding a wave of false prosperity based on maxxed out credit cards and helocs on a house with negative equity.
Instead of leased luxury SUVs and a McMansion, they have purchased election buying entitlements with the credit card.
My dogs are outside dogs exclusively.
I've worked in and around chip-making clean rooms for 30 years and couldn't imagine having a (another) shedding animal in the house. (The only animal allowed inside is me, ahem)
Well then, stay up wind after after you feed them the eggs. :)
Love dogs, but they are a "5" on the RAST test, so we don't have any.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday announced indictments over alleged efforts to ship carbon fiber, which can be used to help enrich uranium, to Iran and China in violation of U.S. law.
Hamid Reza Hashemi and Murat Taskiran were charged with participating in a scheme to sell carbon fiber to Iran, while Amir Abbas Tamimi was charged with participating in a scheme to export helicopter parts to Iran, according to grand jury indictments made public on Wednesday.
A fourth defendant, Peter Gromacki of New York, was charged in a separate indictment over alleged efforts to export carbon fiber to customers in China.

First Day Of Kiwanis Jamboree Ends With Victories By Northside, Carencro And Notre Dame
Vikings Come Back From Early Deficit To Hold On Against Lafayette High
The Mighty Lions jumped out to an early 10-0 lead, but wouldn't score again as Northside scored 14 unanswered points to take the 14-10 win.
Running Back Dionte Duperon, who won game MVP honors for Lafayette High, got his team on the scoreboard first with a touchdown that put the Mighty Lions up 7-0. After Northside's offense went 3-and-out, their defense forces LHS into a punt, which was fumbled by NHS, setting up the Mighty Lions' veer offense inside the Vikings 10 yard line. But the Vikings defense held, forcing a field goal, giving LHS a 10-0 lead with 2:17 left in the 1st half.
But that's when Northside QB Ethan Rose, who won game MVP honors for the Vikings, showed the fans what he could do. He started off Northside's ensuing drive by completing a 20 yard pass, then kept the ball on a fake handoff and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. Then, even after two penalties on the 2-point conversion attempt, the Vikings still found a way to get it in the end zone on a pass completion from Rose. But, at the half, Lafayette High still led 10-8.
In the 2nd half, after the two teams traded possessions, the Vikings used a mix of runs and passes, with Rose leading the shotgun offense, to put up another TD on a Rose pass. In the final minute, Lafayette made it very interesting as they drove deep into Northside territory with only seconds remaining, but were turned away by the Northside defense as the Vikings held on for the 14-10 win.
Northside opens their regular season schedule on the road against the Acadiana Wreckin' Rams, while Lafayette High travels to take on Kaplan.
Carencro Shuts Out St. Martinville
In a game where two defenses really battled it out, the Golden Bears used special teams and a little trickeration to pull the shutout over the Tigers, 17-0
After SMSH failed to score on their opening drive, they were forced to punt to CHS. Carencro's two returners then bobbled the punt, but once one of them recovered the ball, it was off to the races and into the end zone as the Golden Bears found themselves with an early 7-0 lead. Despite CHS driving into SMSH territory again, though, they failed to score any more points before halftime, but still led 7-0.
Carencro then took the 2nd half kickoff and converted a field goal, giving them a 10-0 lead. Running back Colin St. Julien (Sr.) displayed his speed, quickness and elusiveness on the drive. First, he had a run that was reminiscent of the great Barry Sanders, breaking numerous tackles on his way to gaining a few yards. Then, St. Julien broke a huge run and even caught a pass out of the backfield to eventually set up the field goal for the Golden Bears.
Carencro then converted on a fake punt (their second fake punt conversion of the game), which led to a St. Julien TD, giving Carencro a 17-0 lead that ended up being the final score.
St. Julien won MVP honors, while SMSH Sr. QB Quinton Mitchell took home MVP honors for the Tigers.
Carencro opens their season on the road at Westgate, while St. Martinville will play host to Jennings in their Week One matchup.
Notre Dame Pulls Away From Cecilia In Win
A young Cecilia team showed they could hang with Notre Dame, but in the end, it was the Pioneers that ended up with the 21-12 victory.
On their first drive, Cecilia was forced to punt, but after a Notre Dame fumble on the return, found themselves with the ball in ND territory. That's when a wide open Raymond Calais Jr. (Soph.) was able to catch a short pass out of the backfield and turn it into a long touchdown for the early 6-0 Bulldog lead (PAT failed).
But ND responded with a drive mixed with runs and passes, ending in a John Michael Besse (Jr.) TD run to give the Pioneers a 7-6 lead.
The game then went back-and-forth as Cecilia struck back with a Calais 70-yard TD run as Cecilia went up 12-7 (PAT failed). But Notre Dame went on another steady drive, filled with runs and passes, that ended in a QB Brad Stoma TD run, making the score 14-12 Notre Dame at the half.
In the 2nd half, the Pioneers then took the kickoff and finished with a TD, run in by RB Lance Bertrand (Soph.), giving them a 21-12 lead that held up as the final score.
Stoma won MVP honors for Notre Dame, while Calais took home MVP honors for Cecilia.
Cecilia opens their season at home against Comeaux High, while Notre Dame will host LaGrange.

STOCKTON - Before summer, O'Connor Woods Senior Living expects to begin construction on an ambitious $7 million project at its 34-acre north Stockton campus.
STOCKTON - Before summer, O'Connor Woods Senior Living expects to begin construction on an ambitious $7 million project at its 34-acre north Stockton campus.
The overall project has three components:
� A 20-unit Memory Care facility at the northern end of the campus, replacing an existing maintenance building, will be built to meet the specialized needs of residents who suffer from dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments. The facility will consist of two 10-unit households with private rooms and bathrooms, common dining and activity areas and a large kitchen. The focus of the secured area will be to provide activities that enhance the social well-being of the residents. Each household will have its own garden area where residents can visit with family and friends in a safe environment.
� Eight two-bedroom assisted-living apartments will be constructed, adding to O'Connor Woods' existing one-bedroom and studio apartments. Residents of the assisted-living units have access to prepared meals, medication supervision, nursing assistance, housekeeping and other services while maintaining their independence.
� An adult day program facility will be open for both current O'Connor Woods residents and those living in the community. It has been designed to handle 25 participants a day as a respite for families caring for a loved one struggling with the onset of dementia. It will include areas for daily activities and a multipurpose area.
The overall project expands O'Connor Woods by 22,000 square feet and is part of its long-range master plan.
"The new Memory Care expansion is really going to complete the care continuum on our campus," O'Connor Woods Executive Director Scot Sinclair said.
"The need for the other part of assisted-living memory care has been the single-biggest reason people have had to leave our campus. Having one campus for easy transitions, for visiting with friends, for keeping families together, that was the original vision back when we were being planned," Sinclair said.
O'Connor Woods is at 3400 Wagner Heights Road, Stockton. Information: (209) 956-3400 or oconnorwoods.org.

The National Park Service is looking for public comment on ways to protect native vegetation and cultural resources from cattle and horses that trespass in the 52,000-acre preserve near Mancos.
Among alternatives are methods of keeping the trespassers out of the park, returning them to the owner or selling them at auction.
Livestock has been documented out-competing native wildlife for water, damaging facilities and creating confrontations with park staff and visitors, Betty Lieurance, a park spokeswoman, said in a statement.
There are currently 100 to 150 horses in the park and on its borders, Lieurance said. Ten to 20 head of cattle roam the park at a given time, she said.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed plan to reduce threats to natural and cultural resources, people and facilities.
Public comment is welcomed during drafting of the plan, now under way, and again after the release of the environmental assessment being done as required by the National Environmental Protection Act.
People who comment should be aware that information identifying them may be made public.
First-phase comment must be received by Feb. 28. Comment may be made at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/meve or mailed to Trespass Livestock Management Plan, P.O. Box 8, Mesa Verde National Park, CO 81330.

I don't yet know, as of this writing, who won yesterday's Republican primary. There is one thing I do know, however: 5th Congressional District conservatives will need to unite behind the winner if they hope to unseat Congressman Tom Perriello in November.
If they don't want to see Perriello back for another two years, Republican establishment types and TEA Party people are going to have to reconcile. The equivalent of a divorce will only give Perriello an easy path to reelection.

located in the south of the Hashimite Kingdom of Jordan, a
city carved into red sand rock mountains on the edge of the
Dead Sea Rift valley, overlookig Wadi Araba. 2000 years ago
it was the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom, with ports in
Aila (Aqaba) and Gaza, and access to the desert of Arabia
to the south and east, and being easily approached from the
rest of the ancient world in the north, Petra became the meeting
point of the ancient trade routs, and the Nabataeans gained
great wealth, expressed by their unique architecture, gardens
and waterfalls. The beauty of nature in the area has added
to the city's charm, time had its share in creating the amazing
rock formations and colors of its mountains. Petra now is
a prime touristic destination, visited daily by thousands
of lucky tourists from all over the world, the combination
of nature, archaeology and the chance to meet the local Bedouins
makes it a favourite place for many travellers.

SKOPJE, Macedonia (AP) — People from across the former Yugoslavia have gathered in Macedonia's capital to mark the 50th anniversary of an earthquake that killed more than 1,000 people and destroyed much of the city.
The magnitude 6.1 quake on July 26, 1963, also left more than 4,000 people injured and destroyed or seriously damaged 80 percent of the buildings in Skopje — prompting a major international relief effort support by some 90 countries.
Several hundred people, including survivors and veterans of the rescue effort, marched silently through the city. Tents were set up in the city's main park, the scene of the main aid effort in 1963.
A fault line lies under the Macedonian capital, and earthquakes in 518 and 1555 also leveled the city.
Macedonia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.

The quest for the missing iPhone
A prototype of Apple's new iPhone 5 recently went missing, and the company is doing everything in its power to get it back—including allegedly misleading and possibly threatening a suspect.
After the iPhone went missing from a bar in San Francisco, Apple employees electronically traced the phone to the home of Sergio Calderon, who denies any knowledge of the phone, though he admits to being in the bar the night the phone was lost. Six "badge-wearing visitors" appeared at Calderon's home, none of whom identified themselves as Apple employees; however, it turns out that it was Apple employees and not San Francisco police officers who conducted a search of Calderon's home. Calderon also says that he was offered $300 for returning the phone with no questions asked. Even worse, Calderon claims that one of the "officers" who searched the house questioned the immigration status of his family, asking if everyone in the house was an American citizen and implying that there could be trouble if the answer was no. The phone was not found in the search.
Obviously Apple is entitled to be concerned about their missing product, especially in light of the fact that something similar happened when a prototype of the iPhone 4 went missing last year. But, Apple should also be concerned with following the law and treating Sergio Calderon with dignity. Catholic social teaching stresses the inherent dignity of all humans—not of all technological devices.
Reading about this story, I couldn't help but think of this article from The Onion that tells the tale of an iPhone left unattended in a hot car for three hours, poking fun at the "inhuman" treatment of the phone.
"What kind of a human being is capable of such callous disregard for a precious, precious thing?" says one mock-interviewee in the article.
These words have a particular sting in light of Apple's apparent disregard for Sergio Calderon and his rights in their quest to find the missing phone. As much value as we place on our phones, they will never be living, breathing companions to us. People deserved to be treated as people, and not second-class citizens to technology.

Reviewed By Tisha h (BOUNTIFUL, UT) Reviewed for a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am —2/5/2013 3:00 AM
I bought the size that was one larger than what it stated. The car is 120 inches, I believe, so I bought the size that was up to 130 or so, not the 120. It fit perfectly. Make sure you are on the large/too big of size. A larger cover can still fit a smaller car, but a smaller cover is useless. It has a tie / rope that goes under the middle of the car and tightens down the center. The ends are elastic so that it goes under the bumpers. May not stay on in a high wind. I Recommend this.

The New York Times has called Dawn Avery a "daring cellist." She is a composer and vocalist of incredible depth and passion, stands alone in her field as one of the most celebrated, original and passionate virtuosos of her time. Her decades' long exploration of sacred music has led her to study the relationship between music and spirituality, especially in meditative practice. As a renowned and beloved workshop leader, Avery also uses meditation and 30 years of experience with shamans, healers, history, myth, world music and dance to help participants uncover their life's calling.
Well known and respected in many musical worlds, Avery's wide range of award winning musical works have been influenced by Indigenous thematic material, in particular her Mohawk heritage. Her works have been performed and supported by Lincoln Center, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, The Ford Foundation, and American Composers Forum.

These sheets are very thin and for the money you can buy other sets and they will last longer.
The sheets are very soft. Unfortunately, the cream I use does not come out and leaves a stain after laundering. so disappointing since they are more expensive.
For the price, not a good value. The flat sheet is short and if you have a tall person, don't even bother with using this sheet. Very dissatisfied with length!
Got this sheet set in the Earthlite table coverings package. They are luxuriously soft and fit well over my warmer, fleece pad and bolster. They got softer after washing and did not shrink. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars from me is the crescent cover: the weird little velcro tab that wraps around the top of the face rest is too short (at least for mine) and I end up just tucking it in so it doesn't hang down. I would definitely buy again
I have several sets of these sheets and have been using them in our practice. They fit nicely over my fleecy table warmer and 30" table with plenty of room to spare. They have been through many, many washings and have held up very well.

BPA: What's the harm?
BPA: What's the Harm?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to research the safety of BPA but has yet to ban the chemical. Numerous academic studies have shown BPA to be an endocrinal disruptor. The endocrine system is the body's natural hormone regulator, which primarily governs physical growth and development, as well as metabolism and mood.
BPA exposure is especially concerning for young girls, because its chemical makeup is disruptive to the body's natural flow of estrogen. Studies have linked BPA with physical and behavior problems in girls, such as aggressiveness and reproductive problems, principally affecting development of the reproductive system, in particular the ovaries. Some studies suggest that the estrogen-mimicking characteristics of BPA are partly responsible for the early onset of puberty in girls, which could lead to greater risk of breast cancer later in life.
BPA is also potentially harmful for pregnant women, because it is absorbed into the bloodstream where it is passed onto the fetus and can disrupt normal endocrinal development, leading to subsequent health problems as described above. It affects males, too, with some studies suggesting that it may cause impotence in men.
The latest research about BPA also indicates that it may cause damage to the intestinal lining, which in turn makes it more difficult for the body to absorb water and nutrients from food. Though the full effects of BPA may not yet be fully known, the data so far are alarming.
It's Everywhere
People have known for years that, as a component of polycarbonate plastic, BPA was prevalent in certain types of plastic products. Heating food in plastic containers can cause the chemical to leach into the food, so that it will enter the body through the digestive tract. But even if you avoid heating food in plastics, you and your family may still be exposed to BPA.
A 2009 study by Consumer Reports found BPA in numerous canned foods, including organic foods, and foods that were explicitly labeled as BPA-free. At issue is a plastic lining used in most of these products - even if the can itself is metal, the food may be touching a polycarbonate material inside. As a result, it can be difficult for the consumer to know whether she is truly buying a BPA-free product.
Depending on whom you believe, BPA can be found in many places. A blog post by Julie Deardorff on the Chicago Tribune website listed 10 surprising sources of BPA, which included pizza boxes, beer and wine, and re-usable plastic drinking cups. It may also be in non-food items that make their way into your baby's mouth, such as pacifiers. So many products are made with polycarbonate plastics that your house is likely full of them.
If that's the case, then how can you avoid buying products that contain BPA? A good start is to check for the plastic number on the container. Number 7 plastic does contain BPA. Plastic numbers 2 and 5, for polyethylene and polypropylene respectively, are BPA-free. Glass containers are also free of BPA. Because it's harder to tell whether a canned good has a polycarbonate liner, you may wish to buy frozen or fresh alternatives whenever possible.

The greatest thing about our neighborhood has been the peace and quiet. This has been abruptly shattered by a neighbor's new doggy.

When Matt Serwa's second arrow missed the giant whitetail, he was crushed because Lady Luck doesn't typically offer a third chance on a mature megabuck like this one.
Lady Luck must have been snoozing or in a highly gracious mood, because Serwa got a third opportunity. He made the most of it.
The longtime central Wisconsin bowhunter arrowed one of the biggest bucks of the season so far, and on the state's opening day of bow season. This geniune gagger whitetail sports more than 201 inches on a nontypical frame, with a double brow tine on one side and third brow sticking up under those along with other kickers and stickers.

PARIS (AP) — France's interior minister said Sunday that there was a "kind of racism" behind the bombings of dozens of vacation homes on the French island of Corsica but stopped short of saying nationalist groups were responsible.
No one has claimed responsibility for the Friday night attacks and officials have not overtly pointed the finger. But several signs indicate there might have been a political motive behind the bombings.
While Corsica was definitively taken over by the French in the 18th century, it has significant autonomy and maintains a distinct language and culture. Homegrown nationalists have long pushed for more autonomy and have specifically lashed out at the influx of "continentals" from mainland France who flock each summer to the Mediterranean island known for its mountain vistas and rugged beaches.
Officials have said that the 26 homes targeted were mostly second residences, which often belong to mainland French. A graffiti tag of a separatist group was left on one of the houses hit, although the Paris prosecutor's office said it was too early consider that a claim of responsibility.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls, who is France's top cop, also declined to say who was behind the attacks, but he pinpointed at least one motive.
"There is without a doubt a kind of racism in the attacks," he said during an interview with journalists from television station iTele, Europe 1 radio and Le Parisien newspaper on Sunday morning.
The Paris prosecutor is investigating the bombings, including the possibly involvement of terrorist organizations and gangs.
Valls also criticized Corsican politicians for not sufficiently condemning the attacks — implying they may have some sympathy with the perpetrators. He stressed that Corsica should not be seen as anything but wholly part of France.
"We can't accept that in a state of laws, in a democracy — whether in Corsica or elsewhere — that people use bombs for political expression," he said.
Corsica is also beset by criminal gangs, and Valls would not rule out their involvement; he said that there are links between the criminal element on the island and the nationalists.
This year, gangs have carried out a series of killings that has outraged France and prompted the government to vow to stamp out the violence that has long been allowed to simmer on the island. The same night that the houses were bombed, a man was shot dead in an apparently unrelated attack.
Valls vowed that the government would fight both mafia and nationalist violence.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The search for Pelham High School grad and world traveler Harry Devert, who went missing in Mexico in January, ended on a tragic note Saturday after he was confirmed dead by his family.
The confirmation came after DNA-mapping results from Mexican labs showed a positive match between discovered remains and his mother, Ann Devert of New Rochelle. according to a family spokesperson.
Harry Devert, 32, went missing 175 days ago on Jan. 25 while traveling in Mexico by motorcycle on his way to Brazil for the World Cup. Mexican authorities found remains in two plastic bags near a motorcycle with an identification number matching that of Devert on July 13.
Information had been circulating in news stories from Mexican media outlets linking Devert's disappearance to drug cartel activity.
Mary Ciccone, a longtime family friend, said she was devastated by the loss, because Devert was like a son to her.
"Twenty-three years ago, my family and his family moved into houses next to each other on the same day," she said. "My children and Harry bonded the same day and they've been friends ever since.
"The love they have for each other is indescribable. They feel like lost a brother. We lost a member of our family. In my mind, I lost a son."
She said she believed her children would get through the loss with the help of Devert's many friends.
"This boy was loved and he was a good, good boy," Ciccone said. "All he wanted to do was help people. That's why he loved to travel. I know when he traveled all these years he was in orphanages helping out. He would do anything he could do to help others. That was Harry, that's what he was about. He always saw the good in people."
Devert's biography on his blog, A New Yorker Travels, states: "There is so much good and so much to love in this world I sometimes can't understand how people find time to hate things or even find enough things to be upset about. I believe life is short and that we need to make the most of it, and while many people say this, I truly try and live my life accordingly."
Ciccone added that Devert's friends and family are gathering around her New Rochelle home to support one another in this difficult time, as they wait for his mother to return from Mexico.
Services have yet to be scheduled.

Kathryn Grant, with the Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus, speaks during a rally protesting a gun bill the Georgia governor is signing today expanding where people with licenses to carry can bring their guns in Georgia, at Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. The bill makes several changes to state law. It allows those with a license to carry to bring a gun into a bar without restriction and into some government buildings that don't have certain security measures. It also allows religious leaders to decide whether it's OK for a person with a carry license to bring a gun into their place of worship. And school districts would now be able, if they want, to allow some employees to carry a firearm under certain conditions. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced recently that 10 grants totaling more than $3.8 million have been awarded for research, education and extension projects to improve the quantity and quality of water resources across the country. Funding will be used to provide research and educational materials and programs, coordination of university-based water-quality and monitoring programs and to develop an information network focused on environmental pathogens.
"Water quality issues are a priority for USDA and our nation," said Veneman. "These projects will increase our understanding of the causes and solutions to critical water quality issues."
The projects will begin this year and are expected to last through 2007.
"We are pleased that two of these awards were made to tribal community colleges to improve coordination among tribal colleges and that they address invasive aquatic species in wetlands," said USDA Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics, Joseph J. Jen. "These awards demonstrate the growing capacity of the tribal college system and its effort to address critical natural resource issues."
The list of awards includes:
$390,000 to the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island to continue coordination of volunteer university-based water quality monitoring programs;
$300,000 to Salish Kootenai College in Pablo, Montana for coordination of water quality programs at tribal colleges and universities;
$300,000 to Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana to establish an information network focused on environmental pathogens;
$300,000 to Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College in Hayward, Wisconsin for educational efforts to reduce the impacts of invasive plants in wetlands;
$272,000 to the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland to develop educational materials for water quality issues targeting the nursery and landscape industry;
$269,000 to Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa to develop educational programs linked to performance-based water quality programs;
$580,000 to Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas to study phosphorous movement in soils and waters of the North Bosque and Leon Rivers, Texas;
$580,000 to Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana to provide research and educational materials on drainage management to improve water quality in the Midwest; $495,000 to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado to investigate solutions to the salinity issues of the Upper Arkansas River basin, and $580,000 to the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia to investigate linkages between low levels of dissolved oxygen and overall water quality in the coastal plain of Georgia.
The National Integrated Water Quality Program is administered through the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service.

IBM rolls up (discounted) AIX Enterprise Edition
Datacenter Edition on the way?
IBM is trying to make it easier for customers to manage complex, virtualized AIX servers and has therefore created a new variant of its AIX 6.1 platform - dubbed Enterprise Edition - that includes AIX add-ons and separately sold Tivoli systems management programs. It's all rolled up into a single instance - and with a discount too.
AIX 6.1 went into beta testing last May and started shipping in November 2007 on several current generations of Power and PowerPC iron and is more or less paired with the new Power6-based Power Systems family of machines, which rolled out from July 2007 through April 2008 in various shapes and sizes. This initial AIX 6.1 is now known as Standard Edition.
With AIX 6.1 Enterprise Edition, IBM is adding in the workload partition, or WPAR, virtual private server partitioning that made its debut with AIX. These WPARs are distinct from the logical partitions - LPARs, in the IBM lingo - in that they provide a virtual AIX instances that run on a shared kernel and file system, as opposed to logical partitions, which run atop the PowerVM hypervisor and have LPARs that contain entire and isolated instances of the AIX stack.
The key WPAR program that IBM is adding into the Enterprise Edition release is called Workload Partition Manager, which was previously an add-on product, and this is what allows AIX WPARs and their workloads to be teleported from one physical machine to another using what IBM calls Live Partition Mobility.
AIX 6.1 Enterprise Edition also includes Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager, Tivoli Monitoring, and Usage and Accounting Manager Virtualization Edition for Power Systems - three products with, um, catchy Big Blue product names that are used by AIX shops to discover and manage the physical and virtual servers running atop Power gear.
Here's the upshot (at least as far as the budget is concerned): AIX 6.1 Standard Edition ranges in price from $95 per core on entry Power machines to as high as $2,499 per core on the biggest Power 595 iron. The Workload Partition Manager add-on for AIX 6.1 cost from $500 to $1,500 per core on top of that, and the three Tivoli programs cost even more.
The AIX 6.1 Enterprise Edition bundle costs $595 to $3,999 per core, depending on the Power Systems box - exactly the same price of AIX 6.1 Standard Edition plus the WPAR add-on. That means IBM is throwing in the Tivoli programs for free as part of this bundle. Upgrades from AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 are available.
Of course, the creation of an Enterprise Edition begs the question of what a Datacenter Edition of AIX might look like. To my way of thinking, IBM could do as it has done with its venerable AS/400 and successor product lines and embed the middleware and database inside the operating system and offer tighter integration as well as something the AS/400 crowd rarely sees: a discount. But Jay Kruemcke, the AIX program director at IBM, doesn't think this was a particularly good idea.
"There's always that thought," says Kruemcke. "But we find that our customers like to do their databases separately from the operating system."
Which is true enough. While DB2 has gained traction on AIX and other Unix platforms over the years, Oracle is the dominant database on AIX, as it is on all Unix platforms. ®

The discovery of antibiotics in the 1930s fundamentally transformed the way physicians care for patients, shifting their approach from a focus on diagnoses without means to intervene into a treatment-focused approach that saves lives. Now, nearly 70 years later, we've reached a critical point in treating infectious diseases: new drugs are not being developed at anywhere near the pace necessary to keep ahead of the natural ability of bacteria to evolve and defend themselves against antibiotics. The result is that some of our most powerful drugs are becoming useless.
If we do not act immediately we face a future that may resemble the days before these "miracle" drugs were developed; one in which people die of common infections, and where many medical interventions we take for granted – including surgery, chemotherapy, organ transplantation and care for premature infants – become impossible.

Black area in the pubic area which can be seen through the clothing on a person, usually wearing light colored swimwear. Most often seen on women wearing white, yellow, light blue or pink swimwear. Most often the nest is not visible until the clothing is wet.
If she wants to continue to wear that white swimsuit in public she needs to really think about shaving off all her pubic hair so we don't all have to see her cooter spider nest.

Hello. Your council is necessary.
At me in a local area network, in Russia electronic library.
The library contains files in a format html.
It is sorted about 35 000 files html and the order 100 000.
Sortings wait.
Sharply there is a question of convenient cataloguing of files. I in given
The moment I am engaged in search oss to which will help me will consult
With this task.
Search on the Russian Internet in what has not resulted.
Search on sourceforge.net becomes complicated an abundance of the information and
Level of possession of English language.
You could in this connection something advise?
Here requirements to a script:
Operational system windows or a script on not dependent language.
The programming language it is desirable PHP.
1) System of classification of books on genres.
2) System of classification of books under forms (the novel, the story, etc.)
3) System of sorting of authors alphabetically.
4) System of sorting of authors on genres.
5) System of ratings of authors, products.
6) System of statistics.
7) All data are brought in a database.
8) Files in a format html are in the user folders.
9) Search on archive (it is desirable text-through).
10) the Opportunity as well as simply to read the book, and to download
it for perusal in off-line.
Actually it is possible to write many requirements, but these are the most necessary.
What could you advise me?
P.S. Tried to find contact data of the manager of a site, but has not found. Therefore I write here.

Death and beyond
RE: Death and beyond
Oh, like I said, death is nothing to be afraid of. It's a natural recycling of matter is all.
If you consider suicide all the time (and I have considered it from time to time and will choose it should my life end up where it's not worth living anymore) then there is something wrong with what you are doing with your life.
If life is not worth living, change it. Change your habits or your beliefs or your location or whatever. Change is a catalyst for energy, and energy is a catalyst for making the best of life. Just saying.
Re fluff - no it's not fluff. Recycling is what nature does, and we are part of nature. Denying that it is possible that "that which powers us" gets recycled is just maintaining the status quo. And in this case, it is supporting religion since as long as the gap is there, gods will fill it. It needs to be explored and settled, one way or another, once and for all.

RE: Death and beyond
I have no answers....... only questions
If you believe that our flesh is a vehicle...... that the "soul" can be considered the "energy/fuel" that gives it animation/life then is this limited to humans???
Surely everything else that is considered alive (as in it reproduces and will at some point cease to exist) should be considered as an equal and the only differences that could be used to term "seperation" would be the vehicles (bodies) that we use to observe.
In this flesh vehicle things seem real....... things are solid and you cannot push your hand through a solid brick wall...... you are limited to the very senses that you use to observe....... so when released from this flesh vehicle (death) then I wonder at how things could be percieved, when you are no longer "limited" to a nervous system nor this vibration we exist within???
Your flesh vehicle is made up of billions of cells that renew within certain timespans....... they are in there own right unique but they make up the "whole" which is you....... If I push the boundaries on my viewpoint further beyond myself I get to consider that this planet is a cell and that it makes up the "whole" universe.
I dont believe in time........ so I dont actually believe in death
I feel so much, and yet I feel nothing.
I am a rock, I am the sky, the birds and the trees and everything beyond.
I am the wind, in the fields in which I roar. I am the water, in which I drown.

In my thinking it would apply to all life. Plants and animals alike (and we are animals after all). And I don't really think anything is perceived after death. But who knows. I really don't think that "that which powers us" necessarily stays one unit, it may disperse and power several newly born life forms. Or it may form a "pool" that new life forms can draw from.
I think of it more like electricity, which moves along and has no idea what it will power. Basically, IF there is something there, it stands to reason that it is being recycled like everything else in nature.
And the thought that this planet is one of the "cells" making up the universe has crossed my mind too. Or even that the universe is just one cell in something much bigger. Who says that what we have been able to explore is all there is? Maybe we are nothing but tiny microbes in a large system. But we digress.

I hope we will be allowed to pursue these ideas, even though we don't have evidence readily in our hands.
Yes, I would agree there is a kind of electricity that courses through all things - and specially life, most of all, the higher, complex life. The meditation I perform is called "transmission meditation" and it is focused on receiving and passing on the energy. I am aware of it. I feel it within, in days after meditation as an afterglow besides the normal energy levels.
I can not offer you evidence, but I have drawn the pictures of what I feel besides the body of meat and bones that we all know we have. The first picture is the layout of my energy body, as I feel it. The blue corona around the silhouette and at mouth signifies the sensitive range of energy, the hands and mouth are especially sensitive. The grey mass around is a tangible substance I believe to be a plasma of dark matter. It can be easily shaped by mere intention (see the pyramid shape in the hand) and it is a good conductor for the energy. But when it is further away from me, I feel it less (I drew it fading away), though I am still able to move it (by what I believe to be another oval body of energy, outlined as oval shape). Please also notice the circles of energy vortexes, the top ones I feel the most, so I drew them in the silhouette. Two forehead channels are also visible.
The second picture is the profile of my head with vortexes, centers and conduits of energy as I feel them to be active. Some over the course of the day, some in times of meditation, some rarely. The conduits on left and right side of forehead/neck give me most trouble, they can hurt quite a lot sometimes. However, the active vortex below, in the area of heart gives a nice, warm glow of love and sympathy when it's active and the neck vortex isn't unpleasant either, it's quite tingly.
It is interesting to live like that. Suddenly my avatar picture makes sense, eh? I'm glad I didn't post any photograph of mine, knowing the internets, they would readily produce some colourful parodies
For years I have read from many sources that there is a higher aspect of electricity than just a flow of electrons or ions. I have read of devices that open a switch, yet there is an alloy that delays the flow of electrons for a microsecond, and in the end of that microsecond the switch is closed again. Yet in that microsecond a capacitor on the other side of the switch is filled with a dose of power. Other times, I have read how Nikola Tesla created a transmission of energy through one wire only, by making a long, narrow coil. Another device of his created a sparking device, where the arc was extinguished extremely, imperceptibly fast by a strong magnetic field. This device made the higher aspect of electricity visible. It made a white, cold lightning. From this it got its name, "cold electricity" or "radiant energy".
When a generator turns by steam, the electricity is not generated from the kinetic energy or heat. The turn of a dynamo creates a dip in the local vacuum and the surrounding "radiant energy" rushes in to fill that dip, creating what we call electric current in the process, and filling that dip which we expended our energy to create.
It is said that the wires do not really transmit energy within, they allow passage of the "radiant energy" on the outside, although the flow drags the electrons or ions along the stream. And so it can be inferred, that our nerves also operate by the layer of "radiant energy" enveloping them. It forms a field that permeates our whole body and copies it perfectly. Or rather, our growth of cells copies this body of energy. And upon death, this body gets detached. It does not get accounted for as our body's weight or chemical energy, I'd say it is a part of the environment so much that the "soul weighing" experiments give only microscopic results. However, it gives a bit of hope that we are more than meat and heat.
I am sorry to offend anyone's rationality, I only say and draw what I perceive, and what I have read. Maybe if all the observers of such phenomena in the world united together, they could convince more people, even scientists.

RE: Death and beyond
I tend to see it the way HoC said, the flashlight going out while left on the desk. What creates the body's energy? The body's systems, using the lungs, heart, blood, glucose, oxygen, etc. When the body shuts down, it ceases to manufacture (convert) energy from the raw materials (like when you shut off the car, it stops using the gasoline). When the systems fail, there is no more energy to be had because it's not making/converting any more. So the limbs stop moving, the heart stops beating, breathing slows and eventually the brain has no more fuel and it dies. By this time, I just don't think there is really any more "energy" to talk about, except maybe the last bit of heat that leaves the body as it gets cold. There may be food in your stomach but you're no longer converting that into muscle-energy. In fact,I see that as the whole definition of death: the body isn't working as an efficient machine anymore, its' not making or using energy right, so it sputters for a while and then stops working.
Anyway, I've seen lots of people and animals die, and I still don't see anything awfully mysterious about the way the body shuts down.
Additionally, the things we refer to as stored energy,we usually only think of them as energy to the extent we can use them ourselves. Like glucose in the blood. A normal body will use it for energy. Fat is a kind of stored energy, and a functional metabolism can convert it when the need to do so arises. However, a dying body doesn't have this functional metabolism, making the fat stores useless. Can it be converted to energy? Yes. If you were part of the Donner Party, and the others ate your dead body, that fat would be converted to energy for them. So no energy was lost. It's like a car that is completely fucking broken, but still has a full tank of gas. You don't ask, where did the car's energy go? because it's still all there, it just isn't able to be used by the car. Same with the body. Stomach is full of food, but the body is in no condition to convert that into energy for the body to use, or the body is otherwise unable to use that potential energy. There is no problem with energy being created or destroyed, there is a problem with converting and using energy.
