I'd like you to prove it. I've been in many guilds, and I'm usually the youngest member.
I first started playing at 16, and it seems the more guilds I see, the older my fellow members are.
That "stereotype" is also now void, because if a faction has LESS 12-year-olds, a lot of the 12-year-olds that thinks they're better than the other 12-year-olds would MOST LIKELY flock to the "cooler faction with less kids".
May have been true in the early days, but sounds like people who claim that needs to check their thinking and facts.

A rare game cart from has fetched its seller near $100,000 through eBay. The cart, used during the Nintendo World Championships in the early nineteen nineties, was sold by a user named "muresan", who stated he was selling off his video game collection of nearly 25 years.
The final selling price came in at an astounding $99,902.
The cartridge itself is in pretty rough shape, with the label torn off and "Mario" written in pen across it. Despite the noticeable wear and tear, the seller states the cartridge works perfectly. Responding to claims that the cartridge was a reproduction, "muresan" attempted to verify the authenticity of it with the following statement on the listing.
"This question has popped up many a time since I posted the cartridge so here is the brief history on the cart as I know it to be: An Alt Newsgroups auction was held back in 1998 and purchased by thomaser in Norway. He traded to DreamTR, who sold to me maybe around 2004/05."
That seems to be good enough for the winning bidder, who will be shelling out big bucks for this piece of history.
What about you? Would you pay that high of a price for a piece of Nintendo history? Would you pay that much for something in that shape? Sound off in the comments below!

Anonymous asked: When you say medieval unicorns, do you mean those used for jousting?
If you search on google images "medieval unicorn tapestry", you'll see what I mean!
Anonymous asked: You're very interesting you know that? Tell me something else about you. Long or short.
Thanks! I don't believe in a reality independent of our own minds. Also tapestries with medieval unicorns on them are rad.
At the end of the day, you have to fall asleep knowing that you are the best you that you can be.
Anonymous asked: What's the long version?
When I told you I like to think, I didn't really tell you anything, except that I told you everything.
Because thinking is the key to how you feel and what you do or say, and it's the spark for every chain reaction. There's overthinking, underthinking, future-thinking, past-thinking, and then there's another genre like whether you're brooding or reflecting, broadening perspective or narrowing it, looking at the world or within yourself. Thinking is just a thin layer above consciousness, but it makes us the kind of people we are, shapes our beliefs, and defines our reality.
I could easily tell you I like to run, collect exotic spices, and speak French— all of which I do— but that's no fun. It's too narrow. What's powerful has nothing to do with my personal likes and interests, but has everything to do with the world that we're capable of perceiving and reacting to, the birth of thought. We're a fraction of a speck on the map of the universe, yet we hold the universe in our heads. Now that is something.
So that's why I like to think.
Anonymous asked: What do you like to do?
This question is actually difficult to answer concisely— The short answer is that I like to think. Let me know if you want to hear the long version.
Blue Moose tees is evil. Evil, I tell you.

Hysterectomy Recovery Time
June 24, 2009 by admin
Filed under Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy Recovery Time
Every woman is concerned over all of the particulars of a hysterectomy especially when it comes to the recovery time of a hysterectomy. However, much to every woman's dismay, there is a healing time and you will have to go through it so let's talk about the recovery time for the hysterectomy.
A hysterectomy will require some TLC for the woman who just had surgery. However, ladies, you can play the recovery time to the hilt if you'd like but it really isn't as bad as what you are told by physicians or the women who had their hysterectomies 10 years ago. Things have improved and women who have hysterectomies are finding little problems with recovery from a hysterectomy.
The recovery time does vary from woman to woman and from procedure to procedure. An abdominal hysterectomy is much like a c-section. After childbirth via c-section, women find they are in a lot of pain and can not move about like they would like to move about. A woman is likely to need pain medication for the first 48 hours after surgery and often for up to two weeks following the procedure. An abdominal hysterectomy is the same only, this time, you don't leave the hospital with a little bundle of joy. You simply have the surgery; stay a couple of nights in the hospital and return home to recover.
Other hysterectomies, such as the laparoscopic hysterectomy will not be as painful and recovery will not be as difficult. Women who have the laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy discover an easy recovery time (compared to other procedures) and some women (dont hold your breath that this will be you) have returned to work within 5 days.The easiest recovery time for a woman who has a hysterectomy is for the woman who has the LSH or the laparoscopic hysterectomy and the most difficult time is for the woman who has the most invasive surgery which is the abdominal hysterectomy.
Still, it is important to remember, it is only as difficult as you choose. Recovery can go relatively fast but you must help yourself. You should drink plenty of fluids, move around as much as possible and plan for a speedy recovery. If you try to get back on your feet as quickly as possible, then your recovery process will not only allow you to heal but will also help you feel better once you resume normal activities without the complications of the medical problems you experienced prior to your hysterectomy procedure. Then, you'll be glad you had your hysterectomy.

Letters to the Editor
Date: May 9, 2012
by: Observer Staff
+ Angry encounter shocks teen cyclist
Dear Editor:
My eyes lay fixed on the road as it moved quickly beneath my bike. I was tired, focused and thirsty, finishing up the last leg of my quick afternoon ride.
I was speeding through the Country Club of Lakewood Ranch, when a loud car horn came from behind me, nearly knocking me off of my bike from the jolt I received. To my left, I was greeted by an elderly couple: a woman in the driver's seat, glaring at me as her husband probably yelled obscenities at me.
Needless to say, I was livid. I did what most naïve, stupid teenagers do: I acted on impulse and performed a certain inappropriate gesture with my free hand in his direction. I thought to myself as he sped off, soon to be slowed by a crossing golf cart, "Why is it that he was so irritated by my riding on the side of the road, when a golf cart is actually slowing this poor sap down." I ignored this man and continued my exercise.
About two minutes later, I met up with him at a Country Club entrance and waved to him as I sarcastically yelled, "Thank you, sir! That was extremely kind of you!" I waited as he struggled opening his car window — I think his better half locked the window on him — and eventually opened the car door as he exclaimed that I should not have been riding on this road; I was not allowed, because those roads are private, and it's not permitted for one to ride his or her bike on those roads. As I heard these words spew from his mouth, I was extremely shocked: It seems this man knew more about my bicycling rights than I did.
Florida law states every car must give a bicyclist three feet of leeway on any public road. It also seems to be that many people in the Country Club believe the roads they live on are private. They are not. The Lake Club, adjacent to the Country Club, is private, and I do respect the rights of those residents. The roads of the Country Club are paid for, and maintained by, the Manatee County government. Everybody who lives in Manatee County and pays taxes owns a piece of Arnold Palmer Green.
I realize that as a 17-year-old, I don't pay taxes, but my parents do. I know my rights as a bicyclist and I feel that many people in Manatee don't respect these rights. I also believe that many people in the Country Club feel that they live in an extremely exclusive, private community. Just because there's a gate on the border doesn't mean the roads that lie behind it are private.

Cheap Titleist 910 D3 Driver
I might had the club fitting by a Titleist professional player and understood what I was looking regarding already. Tried the actual Titleist 910 Series for the local range plus it was my personal love to begin with strike. Titleist adjustability plus shaft alternatives make each of the difference in shot generating. With the all ebony PVD surface and classic pear designed lines, the Titleist 910 D2 as well as D3 heads seem great from virtually any angle.
I originally went with all the cheap Titleist 910 D3 Driver in a great 8. 5* loft with all the ahina base, which is usually a full 1* tougher than I usually play. I went using this a result of higher tennis ball flight within the D2 and the fact I can raise the loft as much as 10* by simply adjusting the hosel, so I can fall returning to the improved loft if needed. The D2 just had too much spin with luck so I went to the D3, and have a 60g TEAR, Diamana Whiteboard 73g including a graphite style Pershing shaft for this.
After swapping partners the D3 various times, my TaylorMade R11 New driver felt dead journey club deal with and My spouse and i felt like I was swinging your shovel. Purchased the D3 as well as actually enhanced my %fairways click from 48% to be able to 54%. So this treatment no loss in control plus gained about 10 yards over tee. I in addition felt like I'd a improved sense of the location where the sweet spot around the club was matched against my Nike Sumo as well as the D2.
The D2 may be the larger during 460cc protected Titleist 910 D3 Driver should be 445cc but until you have these individuals next together they are almost identical in aspect. In inclusion, the kick off angle belonging to the D2 as well as Titleist 910 D3 Driver are significantly diverse and you'll find the very best launch in addition to spin for you personally. Again, then again, the adjustability factor will help you tweak while in the real globe.

You've seen them live? Or just Waters? Oh, my.. I'm so envious of you! He has such a beautiful singing voice. The music they record and release is amazing but I think he does a better job on stage. He alters a little between the two, and the stage voice is much more raw and melodic.
I can't even explain how much I love the band, though. They are so creative, and definitely ulike anyone before or after them. Probably my favorite song from disc 1 is "Don't Leave Me Now". The lyrics are so ironic.
Here :)
Yes I saw Pink Floyd in "94 and Roger Waters in May this year...performing the Wall.....fantastic!! Plane crashing into the Wall...Flying pig and everything!!
Gah. I'm completely mad at you right now. lol :)
The background music to NCAA '13 'cause that's what the male-type-unit on the couch next to me is playing.
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby
Wow, I had no idea. John Lennon had such a creative mind. I love that in a person, and in music.
genious....pure musical genious

MOSINEE, Wis. (WSAU) -- Mosinee Water and Sewer Customers should now stop running water to prevent service lines from freezing. The Mosinee Public Works Department issued the order Tuesday.
They say after April 12, credit will not be given for running water unless you have been instructed to do so by the Public Works Department. Anyone with questions should contact the Mosinee Public Works Department. We've got their phone number at WSAU.com.
Thorp has also cancelled their run-water order.

Indian Strawberry (Mock Strawberry)
Family:Rosaceae (roses)
A weedy, ground-hugging plant that roots from runners. Flowers solitary, arising from leafy joints along the stems, with 5 leafy bracts at the base of the flower that are toothed and larger than the sepals. Petals 5, yellow. Blooms April-June. Leaves compound with 3 parts; leaflets coarsely toothed, each with its own small stalk; leaves and stems sparsely hairy. Fruits resemble miniature strawberries, but they are not juicy and lack flavor.
Similar species: Wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) is similar but has white petals and fruit that is delicious.
Size:Flowering height: to about 2½ inches; stem length: to more than 1 foot.
Habitat and conservation:Open areas in woods, prairies, and fields. Commonly found in urban, suburban,and disturbed areas. This plant is native to eastern and southern Asia, which is reflected in its species name "indica" ("from India"). It was introduced to the United States as an ornamental and now has become a weed. Some states consider it invasive.
Distribution in Missouri:Statewide.
Status:Weedy; invasive in some places. Also called "mock strawberry" and "Indian mock strawberry." Historically, common names of plants often used the word "Indian" to mean "false" or "mock," and (though the usage is biased) that meaning could fit, since this is not a true strawberry (in the genus Fragaria). However, the species name "indica" means "of India," and that fits, too, since this plant was first known from the Indian subcontinent.
Human connections:Weeds that grow in lawns can be annoying, and they support an entire industry of chemical lawn-treatment specialists. However, lawn weeds can also be appreciated for the color and variety they provide. This plant was originally introduced as an ornamental.
Ecosystem connections:A line is crossed when introduced plants move into wild areas and threaten to outcompete native plants, which are the rightful heirs of the territory they grow upon. This plant is invasive in many locations across America.

5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
Palatin Technologies
Another biotech stock that's moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade is Palatin Technologies (PTN), which is engaged in the development of peptide, peptide mimetic and small molecule agonist compounds with a focus on melanocortin and natriuretic peptide receptor systems. This stock has been on fire so far in 2012, with shares up sharply by over 70%.
>>4 Biotech Stocks Under $10 Moving Higher
If you look at the chart for Palatin Technologies, you'll notice that this stock has been trending sideways for the last month and a half, with shares moving between 55 cents on the downside and 80 cents on the upside. Shares of PTN have now started to bounce right off its 50-day moving average of 66 cents, and it's quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade above some near-term overhead resistance levels.Market players should now look for long-biased trades in PTN if it can manage to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at 75 to 80 cents per share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 53,589 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then PTN could make an explosive move back toward its July high of $1.20 a share. One can look to buy PTN off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and then simply use a stop that sits just below its 200-day moving average at 65 cents per share. Traders can also buy off strength once PTN triggers that breakout above 75 to 80 per share with high volume and then simply use a stop a few percentage points below 75 cents or down by its 50-day at 66 cents per share.

Nikon D60 review
Nikon D60: Handling
Nikon D60 Review - Disappointing AF
Let's clear up thae Nikon D60 AF system first – it's frankly disappointing. Apart from its speed, which is fairly slow, the three AF points fail to match that of most of its competitors, which is a shame. The AF is too slow to catch moving subjects, which can result in missed opportunities. The combination of dual lens and camera AF drives would quicken the autofocus and solve the problem. We're sure Nikon has economic reasons for the system, but it nevertheless lets down the performance.
Nikon D60 Review - Easy to Handle
In other ways, the D60 is much better. The handling itself is very nice. The Nikon D60 is a small camera but the grip is deep enough for a good hold with a reasonable balance and external controls that are easy to reach. It's nicely designed, maintaining the distinctive Nikon look within a small, lightweight body.
Nikon D60 Review - Viewfinder
The D60's viewfinder is fairly bright and clear and features a proximity sensor that recognises when the camera is held to the eye, so the bright LCD screen shuts off and prevents distraction. Again, this a new feature to Nikon, but we've seen it before on Minolta and Sony cameras.
Nikon D60 Review - LCD Display & Battery Life
The D60's LCD itself is bright and it's easy enough to use all the post-processing features, but the LCD is small compared to other cameras arriving in the market place. Furthermore, because the power-hungry LCD screen must be on to make exposure adjustments, we found that as the battery level dropped, the monitor kept shutting down as we tried to make changes to the camera settings. This became really frustrating towards the end of the day. Nikon quotes a battery life of 500 shots, which seems about right, but we would recommend getting a spare battery or recharging it regularly to avoid this problem occurring.
Nikon D60 Review - Burst Performance
The Nikon D60 has a good burst speed, considering the amount of JPEGs it can record in one go (if the AF can keep up). The camera records in Raw too using NEF files, and there's a dual option of Raw + JPEG. Unfortunately this only allows the highly compressed Basic JPEG, rather than Fine JPEG, which we prefer.
However, the JPEGS are usable for reference and snapshots, while the Raw files do produce excellent results. However you will have to pay for an upgrade to Capture NX to make the most of them, the included View NX only converts NEF to TIFF or JPEG, with no processing options. Otherwise hold out until your favourite Raw converter, such as Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom, gets updated to cope with the D60's NEF files.
We mentioned in the image quality section that the camera can occasionally underexpose images, which is reason enough for Nikon to include auto bracketing, especially since beginners may not be able to properly evaluate the images or subject as well as more-experienced photographers. The fact this is missing is something of a mystery to me. I'm sure Nikon has its reasons, and it's not a major criticism, but it's a useful standby for inexperienced, and even experienced photographers, to get the best exposure from a trickily lit subject.

Featured Athletes
BJ Neufeld and the rest of his teammates with Mike McEwen's Winnipeg-based quartet entered the 2011-12 curling season with high expectations, and you could hardly blame them.
Québec's Johanne Daly, who plays at both the provincial and national championship level, is one busy curler.
Even though Tammy Schneider has been blessed to play for one of the finest women's curling teams on the planet, she stays true to her small-town curling roots.
At only 17 years of age, Derek Oryniak has reached some lofty curling heights – but for this outstanding junior athlete, there's clearly more to come.
When it comes to the expression "match made in heaven", it would seem tailor-made for the new back-end combination of Wayne Middaugh and Glenn Howard.
Dennis Thiessen has earned medals at four consecutive Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championships, but naturally it's the 2011 event that stands out.
Ernie Richardson has long been known as "The King" in curling circles. The king he was and the king he remains, because no other curler has ever skipped a team to four Brier and world titles, a feat Richardson and his team accomplished more than 40 years ago.
This week's male Athlete of the Week is Reid Carruthers of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This week's junior Athlete of the Week is Mat Camm of Rockland, Ontario.
This week's male Athlete of the Week is Glenn Howard of Penetanguishene, Ontario.
This week's female Athlete of the Week of Cathy Overton-Clapham of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This week's female Athlete of the Week is Sherri Singler of Harris, Saskatchewan.
This week's male Athlete of the Week is Brent Laing of Horseshoe Valley, Ontario.
This week's male Athlete of the Week is Brent Pierce of New Westminster, British Columbia.
This week's female Athlete of the Week is Ashley Miharija of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Combining a laptop bag with a carry-on duffel, the Laptop Weekender V.3 is the perfect pack for students who come home on the weekends. A 15-inch laptop pocket and 10-inch tablet pocket can stash away her laptop and iPad. Plus, the Superbungee shock-absorbing shoulder strap makes transport easy.
I love the bags you have featured but my favourite bag is a trabasack. This bag has a built in lapdesk and is unique in the world. Very practical for working on the move. Very handy for students, working in awkward places, in lectures or on the bus. Check it out!
These bags are crap. not a single one worth a penny, except the TB2 sleeve…..TB2 builds the strongest, longest lasting, best designed bags, Right here in America!…most of which ate TPU lined…hence waterproof…and no I don't work for them, Iv'e just owned 4 of them over the last 13 years…all of which are still in use.
Have you seen Fusion Bags they have great laptop and tablet backpacks. Some of the workstation designs are like 2 bags in one with an inner laptop sleeve that zips out which can be used with the shoulder strap. I got a Micro Workstation for my iPad at fusionbagsusa.com. They also have laptop bags that attach to musical instrument backpacks (guitar, sax, trombone, trumpet). Super cool design for music students…I would think (cause I'm not). Enjoy what's left of summer!
Swiss Gear backpacks are absolutely on a different league compared to these backpacks, they are made like tanks and cost about 60-70 dollars which is reasonable and will last you a lifetime. I have had one for 6 years and there are no rips or anything and I use it almost everyday. Swiss made is much better than these china made crap.
Columbia Manifest – my best backpack ever. Mine is 2 years old, no signs of wear and perfect for a daily commute by bike. This page is just a fashion show with no really good bags.
That's a great list! I especially like the Keen bag since it has a unique look to it. I'm also a big fan of Ogio bags. I think they have great compartments and they're pretty durable too – I've put my Metro II through a lot of stress and it's still holding up pretty well.

Just like the rest of the teams taking part in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes, the Los Angeles Lakers are also expected to bring out their big guns in the form of future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant when they meet Howard for their presentation on Tuesday. Bryant will attempt to convince Howard to re-sign with the Lakers, as the later explores his free agency options this offseason.
The Lakers are expected to be the last in the lineup, behind the Houston Rockets, Dallas Maverick, Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks, to get a shot at wooing Dwight Howard during his free agency meeting with the interested teams. The Rockets, who are the first to take a crack at Howard, just hours after the start of free agency, will bring Hakeem Olajuwon and James Harden among others during their presentation for All-Star center. The Mavericks will follow the same protocols with Mark Cuban and Dirk Nowitzki leading the presentation.
The Lakers' recruitment group will not only headline the Buss family, general manager Mitch Kupchak and also possibly coach Mike D'Antoni as well, but Kobe Bryant will also be present at the meeting. Bryant's presence will help to diminish any tensions during the meeting due to his familiarity of playing on the floor with Howard over the past season. According to another report, Lakers guard Steve Nash is also in the mix for the Dwight Howard recruitment group, though the team has not finalized their list of representatives to take part in Tuesday's presentation.
Despite the reports of at times a frigid relationship between Bryant and Howard during a difficult season for the Lakers, the two players finally seemed to come to an understanding as the season progressed. Publically, Bryant has been a vocal advocate of bringing back Howard, saying that the Lakers need to quickly "lock him in."
"Those guys are hard to find, they don't grow on trees," said Bryant. "When you have someone like that with his talent level, you have to be able to keep him and lock him in with this franchise. ..."
"It's hard because a lot of times those two things don't align," added Bryant. "With the history that this franchise has of having great centers, this would, in my opinion, be the perfect spot for him."
The Lakers have the advantage of keeping familiarity with Howard after he played with the team for one season, an attribute he doesn't share with the Rockets and Mavericks. Bryant could also offer Howard the chance to eventually take over for him as the king of LA. The Lakers could also offer Howard more money than the rest of his suitors, with the Rockets being next in competition. With the Lakers, Dwight Howard could sign a five-year contract for over $117 million. The Rockets are offering Dwight Howard close to $88 million over four years.

During the Iraq occupation in 2006, I observed that at the top of their game conservative spinmeisters are as skilled at misdirection as close-up magicians at the Magic Castle. One of their best sleight-of-hand tricks is "Heads, I win. Tails, you lose." Steve Benen at Washington Monthly observed the same thing about the weak jobs numbers released last week and illustrates his point with simple graphics:
When the jobs reports were looking quite good in the early spring, Republican leaders were eager to take credit for the positive numbers they had nothing to do with. Needless to say, GOP officials are no longer claiming responsibility, and are in fact now eager to point fingers everywhere else. It's a nice little scam Republicans have put together: when more jobs are being created, it's proof they're right; when fewer jobs are being created, it's proof Obama's wrong. Heads they win; tails Dems lose.

"The Executive Ride with all the Muscles" by Kenny from Toronto on 05/08/2008. Trim: 1989 Nissan Maxima GXE (auto), Owned 7 years.
Pros: The Power, The Luxery, The Reliability, The Strength of the Vehicle. The Looks, The Advanced Technology in many cars dont utilize even up to today. Electronic Suspension Control Digital Dash with Heads up Display (speedometer on windsheild) Digital Climate Control Heated Seats with Electronic Adjustments and of course, all the perks of luxery, from leather to sunroof.
Cons: Although this wasnt a perfect 10, the only thing I dislike about this bad boy car is the Transmission kept burning out. In the course of almost 10 years owning a 1989 Maxima, I have changed it 3 times. Later finding out that this generation 1989~1994 had transmissions that used very soft gears that easily cooked. On my 3rd Transmission I Installed an external transmission cooler and I had no problems since and the Car did so well. Oh yeah no cupholders but who cares right, ha!, and the body rusts to quickly.
Overall review: Overall I think this car is extrremely great, and is generally very solid in performance and luxery. I still would recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants a tough car with the perks. The motor isnt aluminum its Iron which is real good, and it produces and very smooth clean ride on the road. Givin its notorious transmission issue, and learning to use an extra cooler for the transmission, this car is simply flawless.

Why Growing Numbers of Baby Boomers and the Elderly Are Smoking Pot
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Conventional wisdom dictates that as younger generations slowly replace the old, conservative social traditions are jettisoned.
This may be true for issues such as gay marriage, where there are clear divisions among younger and older voters, but when it comes to marijuana reform, the evidence indicates that simplistic divisions of opinion along age lines don't apply for pot.
Earlier this week, an AP wire article picked up a lot of buzz in the news-cycle, with a title and premise meant to shock the mainstream: "Marijuana Use by Seniors Goes up as Boomers Age."
The AP article was pegged to a December report released by the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It revealed that the number of Americans over 50 who reported consuming cannabis in the year prior to the study had gone up from 1.9 percent to 2.9 percent in the period from 2002 to 2008.
This is supported by earlier polling results. In February 2009, a Zogby poll found that voters aged 50 to 64 were almost equally divided in their support for marijuana legalization at 48 percent. In that same poll, young voters aged 18 to 29 were the cohort who most enthusiastically supported legalization, at 55 percent. But overall support among all ages came in at 44 percent.
So who brought the average down? Don't lay the blame on the elderly. In fact, as early as 2004, an AARP poll found that 72 percent of its members (all 50-plus, with the lion's share over 65) supported marijuana for medical purposes, indicating their understanding of the benefits of legal cannabis availability.
Some expert observers in the marijuana reform movement believe the bulk of marijuana detractors are made up of 30- and 40-somethings -- adults of parenting age. And as more of the 65-and-over crowd is populated by baby boomers, it appears that in the not-too-distant future every age demographic including the elderly will approve of marijuana reform more than Americans in their 30s and 40s.
"These are people who have had children, and whether they used marijuana in the past or not, they've become very concerned that young children will have access to it," says Paul Armentano, deputy national director of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). "They've been swayed by prohibition and are leery of the option to end it, even though controlling and regulating marijuana would provide less access to children."
In the breakdown of the 2009 Zogby poll, which NORML allowed AlterNet to review, 38.7 percent of respondents 65 and older approved of taxing and regulating marijuana for adults. A low number, but compare it to the group aged 30 to 49, who approved it at 38.2 percent. Nearly the same, but still lower. And it ought to be noted that in an earlier Zogby poll, commissioned by NORML in 2006, 30- to 49-year-olds stood out even more starkly, opposing marijuana legalization at 58 percent, while the 65-plus crowd opposed it at 52 percent; approximately two-thirds of the young adult and boomer cohorts approved.
And just as children are the reason many younger parents are against marijuana reform, offspring (or the lack of them) may also be behind why greater numbers of aging boomers are embracing marijuana -- most or all of their kids have left the nest.
This makes sense to George Rohrbacher, a 61-year-old cattle rancher in Eastern Washington state who smokes weed every day. When his kids -- now 25 to 35 -- were growing up, marijuana was something he had to keep a secret.
"Children under 18 don't need to be high on anything other than life," Rohrbacher says. His wife Ann espouses the same belief and quit marijuana just before 1976, when they had their first child. She later became a school superintendent.
Although Rohrbacher didn't give up the herb except for small stretches of time (such as when he served in the Washington state senate), it wasn't something he shared with his kids. "I didn't want them to have to defend me in the DARE program at school," he says. "But when my youngest son was 19 and off to college, I went from completely undercover to the opposite of that."
Today an advocate for marijuana legalization, Rohrbacher speaks to many baby boomers who, like his wife, gave up pot. "Due to career choices, family-raising choices, they've not imbibed in years and they tell me they can't wait until they get to that spot in their career or family lives when they can go back to smoking pot," he says.
SAMHSA's study showed that past year marijuana use among those aged 55 to 59 tripled from 1.6 percent in 2002 to 5.1 percent in 2008. Nearly 9 percent of men aged 50 to 54 admitted to using marijuana in the past year, bringing that demographic's level of cannabis use to nearly the same 10 percent rate that the general U.S. population is estimated to consume pot. While SAMHSA has jumped to the alarm on this trend, suggesting that "by the year 2020, the number of persons needing treatment for a substance abuse disorder will double among persons aged 50 or older," the reality of the matter is that SAMHSA's dire prognosis may more realistically apply to aging Americans who use harder drugs like cocaine or meth -- not cannabis consumers.

Lehrer spent much of August writing about the affair, trying to figure out where it had all gone wrong. He came to the conclusion that he'd stretched himself too thin. His excuses fall along those lines: He told Seife that his plagiarized blog post was a rough draft he'd posted by mistake. And his latest explanation for those fabricated Dylan quotes is that he had written them into his book proposal and forgotten to fix them later. Even by his own account, then, the writing wasn't his top priority.
The lectures, though, were increasingly important. Lehrer gave between 30 and 40 talks in 2010, all while meeting constant deadlines, starting a family, and buying a home in the Hollywood Hills. It was more than just a time suck; it was a new way of orienting his work. Lehrer was the first of the Millennials to follow his elders into the dubious promised land of the convention hall, where the book, blog, TED talk, and article are merely delivery systems for a core commodity, the Insight.
The Insight is less of an idea than a conceit, a bit of alchemy that transforms minor studies into news, data into magic. Once the Insight is in place—Blink, Nudge, Free, The World Is Flat—the data becomes scaffolding. It can go in the book, along with any caveats, but it's secondary. The purpose is not to substantiate but to enchant.

(I could swear Wired had a similar column from the editor a couple months ago, but it doesn't seem to be online and I toss my print editions out after I read them)
Science journalist Jonah Lehrer, whose articles I have linked to from Technoccult in the past, stepped down from the New Yorker today after admitting to fabricated Bob Dylan quotes in his book Imagine. Here's Lehrer's statement, as quoted by Julie Bosman for The New York Times:
"Three weeks ago, I received an email from journalist Michael Moynihan asking about Bob Dylan quotes in my book 'Imagine,' " Mr. Lehrer said in a statement. "The quotes in question either did not exist, were unintentional misquotations, or represented improper combinations of previously existing quotes. But I told Mr. Moynihan that they were from archival interview footage provided to me by Dylan's representatives. This was a lie spoken in a moment of panic. When Mr. Moynihan followed up, I continued to lie, and say things I should not have said."
"The lies are over now. I understand the gravity of my position. I want to apologize to everyone I have let down, especially my editors and readers. I also owe a sincere apology to Mr. Moynihan. I will do my best to correct the record and ensure that my misquotations and mistakes are fixed. I have resigned my position as staff writer at The New Yorker."

I would especially recommend reading both Carr's and Lehrer's.
There are a ton of these, so I haven't read them all, so there could be some gems out there I missed. What are your favorites?
If I'd been asked, I'd have chosen one of the following:
1. The idea of systematic ideology - that people choose what to believe based on ideology, not reason (an idea also supported by research indicating that facts can actually backfire when trying to change someone's mind). Systematic ideology, named by George Walford, was proposed in 1947 by Harold Walsby. The idea is now being pursued by the Cultural Cognition Project at Yale Law School, though they don't use the term and may not be aware of Walsby's and Walford's work.

Enrollment Restrictions
Enrollment into First Year Writing will be restricted to incoming, "true" first year students for academic years 2012-13, and 2013-14.
Students enrolling prior to 2012 who have not yet satisfied their Liberal Arts Core Requirement for "Writing Seminar" have the following choices for fulfilling that graduation requirement:
- Recommended--Take any of the courses listed as an Approved Substitution for Writing Seminar course
- Take a summer section of "Writing Seminar" (2013)
- Complete a Credit by Exam
- Take English Composition (First Year Writing) at another institution and have the credit transferred to RIT
Please note: Following current practice, any student who is required to take the "Liberal Arts Qualifying Exam" must score a "2" in order to pursue any of these "Writing Seminar" graduation requirements. A score of "1" requires you to take Basic Writing first, and then proceed to the options listed above.
Any 2nd year + student who has completed the LAQE with a score of "1" must pass Basic Writing before exercising any of the options listed above. Students who take Basic Writing will also have the additional option of taking First Year Writing (starting AY2013-14).
Any 2nd year + student who has taken Writing Seminar and would like to repeat it in order to improve their grade should take one of the 0502/ENGL courses on the Approved Substitution list. In this case, a manual Repeat of Grade form must be filed with the Registrar's Office.
All students electing to enroll in a "Approved Substitution" course should contact the College of Liberal Arts Student Services Office to process a substitution form.

The 5 best and worst states for online shopping
Buying online isn't just about the websites you visit. Where you live affects both the price you pay and the time it takes to get the goods.
This post comes from Michael Koretzky at partner site Money Talks News.
If you like surfing big waves, Hawaii is a great place to live. But if you like surfing the Web for big deals, it's among the worst.
That's the result of a new survey by price-comparison site Extrabux, which crunched some numbers and spit out a list of the best and worst states for online shopping. Post continues after video.
You'd think everyone is equal online. But the state you live in can exert its influence in devious ways. As Extrabux says, where you live influences "shipping time and costs, sales tax rates and the chance of having to pay sales tax at all -- all of which contribute to how much you pay for your online order and how much time you spend waiting for it."
Here are the top five best states for online shopping:
- Delaware: This tiny states has "2.74 days average shipping time (sixth shortest in U.S.), $4.07 average shipping costs (tied for 3rd lowest) and zero percent sales tax (tied for first lowest)," Extrabux says. "Not only do Delawareans avoid paying sales tax on every online order, they have some of the lowest shipping costs and fastest shipping times."
- Mississippi: "The fact that only 5 percent of online retailers charge sales tax to Mississippi residents, combined with its relative proximity to East Coast distribution centers, make Mississippi our top Southern state and No. 2 on our list."
- New Hampshire: "Although New Hampshire residents may wait a bit longer for their packages (3.52 days on average) they never pay sales tax."
- West Virginia: An average shipping time of 2.72 days. Also, "very few online retailers charge sales tax to West Virginia residents."
- Oregon: No sales tax on online orders. "However, delivery times are less consistent than other states. On average, shipments to Oregon take 3.8 days."
Now that you know which states are closest to distribution centers, it probably won't be hard to figure out which states aren't. In addition, living in a state where businesses have brick-and-mortar buildings increases your odds of having to pay sales taxes. Among the worst states overall:
- Hawaii: The average online sales tax is 4.25%, the shipping costs are high, and the delivery times are slow. "On average, an order shipped to Hawaii costs $19.17 and spends 4.57 days in transit," Extrabux says.
- Alaska: The online sales tax is a mere 1.7% on average, "but the shipping rates and shipping times are just about as bad as Hawaii's."
- California: "About 50 percent of online retailers charge sales tax to California residents, which is more than in any other state." The average sales tax is 8.96%, the second highest.
- New York: Sales tax averages 8.16%, and about 46% of retailers charge sales tax to New York's online shoppers.
- Washington: "Because pretty much every non-Seattle shipping distribution center is thousands of miles away, Washington has the slowest average shipping time of all states in the continental U.S. To make matters worse, Washington has the fifth-highest average sales tax rate at 8.45 percent."

The Gospel According to . . . Desmond?
Henry Ian Cusick's filmography might just give us a clue as to who will save the island
I think I've figured out who will save the island and all of its inhabitants:
Yes, it's Desmond, aka Scottish actor Henry Ian Cusick, aka Jesus in The Visual Bible's excellent production of The Gospel of John. Hmm, Desmond as savior? The plot thickens. Or not.
I really wish this would come true. But alas, they've only shown him in a short scene during the season premiere. And they also teased us with a cameo from Charlie.
Well, whether or not it has anything to do with this old role, I have thought for a long time that Desmond is surely a key to the battle for the island and putting all right. After all, he is special. I believe he holds the key to resolving the disconnect between the sideways-flashes and the island action. After all, as Eloise says, he still has a part to play. The island is not done with him yet.

Kat, 22, of Long Beach, Calif., told EW, "I thought, 'I'm gonna start crying!' Just from how awesome it was. It had a really good origin story, so I'm excited to see what happens next."
She noted, however, that "it was a little bit more campy and corny than The Arrow." Others in the Comic-Con crowd also observed that the The Flash didn't have the same dark, gritty feel of its sister show. READ FULL STORY

Using Program Structure to Guide Optimization in the Presence of First-Class Functions. (1994)

Compilers for functional languages such as Standard ML can do a good job compiling programs, especially programs that perform symbolic computation. However, they often do a poor job on programs in a wide range of real-world application domains, such as systems programming and scientific computing. One reason for this is that these compilers are not sensitive to program structure, that is, recursions ("loops"), the code executed during the evaluation of a recursive function ("loop bodies"), and recursive-function nesting ("loop nesting"). In part, this is because determining the code executed during evaluation of a recursive function and determining recursive-function nesting is difficult when functions are first-class values. The body of a recursive function may simply be a call to an unknown function. Recursivefunction nesting can be difficult to determine because functions may be passed off to be used elsewhere. However, even in situations where the program structure is easy to determine, the traditional emphasis on compiling function calls well instead of compiling recursions well has led to compilers that simply ignore recursions. In my thesis, I propose to demonstrate that it is practical for a realistic compiler to determine the structure of functional programs and to show that compilers for functional languages need to be sensitive to this information to do a good job compiling systems and scientific programs. Furthermore, I will show that being sensitive to program structure improves compilation of symbolic programs as well.

The Yamaha YZF-R6 is now available with a special paint job (red white and black) developed to mark the company's WGP 50 years anniversary. The color scheme is based on the famous 'speedblock' design that was made famous by Yamaha's Grand Prix race bikes in the 60s, 70s and 80s.
The Yamaha YZF-R6 is built using a compact 'mass-forward' body scheme and a lightweight aluminum die-cast Deltabox frame which strengthens the major sections around the centre of gravity offering a top notch handling.
The bike is propelled by a 599cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, forward-inclined parallel 4-cylinder, 4-valve engine combined with a highly advanced electronic intake (YCC-I) and throttle (YCC-T).
To keep the bike's performances to a superlative level Yamaha equipped it with a slipper clutch, perfected on its racing bikes. This feature allows the R6's rider to achieve smoother downshifting for more effective corner entry.

What are 10 things YOU know to be true?
I was interested and intrigued by Sarah's '10 things you know to be true' list exercise, particularly with the pattern she observed in hearing others; that you would continuously see items exact and opposite to your own, items you've never heard of, or thought about before in exactly that light.
I'm fascinated by our definitions of what we consider to be 'truth', and the disputes between our definitions.
So I propose we post a couple lists of our own here, and experience our agreements (and disagreements), learn some new ideas and lines of thought. Personally, I think it best to write your own list BEFORE reading the ones posted here to avoid influence ;)
I hope a couple people will be interested in participating in this miniature project. And, hey, if you see something in someone's list you'd like to ask about, or learn more about, or debate. . .we now have the TED conversation platform to make that possible.
My list:
1. These are the most exciting times in which we could ever hope to be alive which have already occurred.
2. Too often, we allow inertia to control our actions.
3. Everyone should travel.
4. 'Because that's the way things are' is not a valid reason.
5. Whenever you say 'I had no choice', you're lying.
6. It is possible to have an honest and even pleasant relationship with someone you do not like.
7. Loving someone or something heart and soul does not necessarily make it good for you, or them, or it.
8. There are ideas and inventions yet to come which will make into reality what we consider to be fantasy today.
9. Everyone has at least one story worth hearing.
10. My truth is not final.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 5 2011: 1. There is a higher subconcious that we are all connected to.
2. Music let's me know there is something bigger than us "out there"
3. Pain is neccessary to grow
4. No one is truly happy
5. Love is the most important thing we can experience as humans
6. There are evil people/forces in this world
7. We all have complete abundance in ourselves to be great.
8. Not enough people understand they can be great.
9. Thoughts are not truths and if that is the case, then whatever we think, we really don't know
10. One day we will understand, life, the universe, the meaning of life, I think that day will come and those question will be answered when we die, by an incredible feeling that overcomes us, that will tell us that everything will be ok. But for now all we can do is keep moving forward.
Life is beautiful, it is hard for me to see this everyday. When I take a step back and quiet my mind I am reminded of how blessed we are to be alive and how much of a gift it is to be awake and concsious.
P.S. Everybody wants to make love!!
May 5 2011: Alex..so many things you mention are terrific. I like #'s 2, 3, and 6 especially. Whenever I listen to Barber's "Adagio for Strings," I know you are right. For #3 it isn't just "no pain no gain", but growing is a complex happening. Pain I think is one of the things that happens. Hardly anyone has mentioned #6, which I find interesting. We can think that all people are basically good, but wow, there is a great deal of evil that we encounter. Rather than mystically wish it away, we need to face it! Evil and evil people do exist and live and effect our lives.
