When I started at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape, I was given a benefits package**. My coworkers helped me to use my benefits package, not just for health care but also for self-care. And so my adventure on new ways to care for myself began!
Once I got my teeth cleaned, and some of my basic health care needs met, I started to explore my self-care options. I realized I seriously needed a massage, and my coworkers and friends raved about a community acupuncture centre named Six Degrees Community Acupuncture.
Now, I grew up in the western medical model. When I have a headache, I take an Advil. When I am sick, I down some cough syrup. Acupuncture? Needles in my body? Uh, no thank you. Another bit of context is that it takes me a while to trust a healer. I've had lots of them: doctors, therapists, counselors—and some have been whack. So going to an acupuncture clinic didn't just make me have to learn a new healing method, it also made me have to learn to trust a new practitioner.
Because of the many rave reviews and suggestions for a great massage, I booked an appointment. The acupuncturist asked me questions about my health and asked me what I wanted. I said a massage. And so she gave me one. I walked out of there after the first visit light as air.
The next time I went back was the same: I left feeling calmer, elated, feelings of clearness and weightlessness. And the next time was like that, and the time after that.
Soon, I enjoyed many visits where my practitioner was open to hear me talk about anything, always asked me what I wanted to work on (in terms of massage) and left me feeling relaxed and taken care of.
After many appointments, my acupuncturist asked me if I wanted to try acupuncture. My acupuncturist had been so nice to me … so I let her poke me. (more inside…)

We all say losing a friend is one of the hardest things we go through in life. For a dog, I believe the same to be true. Dealing with the loss of someone special always takes time. The question is, "how much time does it take?". It's been almost three weeks since we lost Jack, my 14 year old America Eskimo, I raised him since he was 8 weeks old.
There's not a day that goes by I don't think about him. I remember the day so clearly when I had to make the decision to put him down. His eating stopped, his "circle of life" became smaller and he didn't know where he was. He was deaf, and blind and was not happy. He was in constant disarray and his mind had given up on him. I'm only glad to know he wasn't in any pain.
The sun was actually shinning. I took him for a 3 hour car ride and spoke with him while I was driving, reminding him of all the good times we shared, places we've lived, friends he's met and reminded him what he taught his brother will live on for generations to come. After my drive, I decided to pull over to our favorite park and I laid with him under the 4th tree Oak tree. He was motionless and didn't really know who I was. He never really liked it when I would touch his paws he'd always pull away. I laid with him caressing his hair behind his ears as the tears feel down my face. I knew the next trip was to the vets office. I cried so hard for hours that morning. I went to touch his paw and he pulled away and I asked in between my tears to "please let me touch your paws, just this once, please?" He then gave me his paw. I knew in my heart he too wanted to sleep, he wasn't breathing right...unsteady and almost barely. His eyes were empty looking but somehow I know in my heart we had our final bonding moment. I asked God to give me the strength because I knew it was time for Jack to go be with his mother in heaven. I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do, to put him down so he could rest.
Speaking of resting, the first night when I came home from the vet, I couldn't sleep as you could imagine. I feel asleep briefly as I woke in the middle of the night only to hear the paw steps of Jack dancing on the floor. It was a beautiful sound and it made me smile knowing he is happy. My puppy, Bennie (his brother) on the other hand is not happy now. Since, the day Jack didn't come home, Bennie had only eaten 3 bowls of food in 6 days. He's better now, but in the beginning he didn't want to eat, play or do anything but lay where Jack used to lay in the house. Since then, Bennie has been doing better but not 100% better. Every morning, he gets up at 6am with me, I feed him, we play, we go for walk and when we get home, he sits by the window...waiting for Jack to come home.
It breaks my heart to tell him, Jack isn't coming home and that Jack is home with his own family. For the both of us, truth be known we are both waiting for Jack to return...and that's the hardest part.
Until Next Time,
Much Love,

I have a suggestion.
I love Boxee, and I love hulu. Right now, the hulu feed works only so-so on my mac version of boxee, but generally boxee works great. I also love the Hulu desktop program. It seems the hosting of hulu content in boxee is a real sticking point. So here is my suggestion:
Since boxee integration with hulu seems so problematic, why not just write a small application, in boxee, that would launch and then switch to the hulu desktop program? I'm assuming a good programmer could make this pretty seemless, and make it go right back to boxee when exiting hulu desktop. I personally think the hulu desktop interface is great, but i dont like getting off my couch to switch programs on my trackpad. Could this work? has it been tried? If i knew how, i would have done it already.

just wanted to let everyone know that the Wi Crossbow federation is gaining steam and membership. They/we have a new website up and running.
the very first quarterly newsletter went out earlier this month and a lot of political talking has been going on in Madison and all around the state.
People have been asking why nobody updates them on what has been done or what is being done? well the truth is, we are up against a couple of groups of people that say one thing and do another when it comes time to signing agreements/ documents. anything the prolong the process for crossbows as full inclusion.
it is not that the organization wants to keep the general public out of the loop of information, it's just that the Wisconsin Crossbow Federation . com doesn't know who is with them or against them.
For example, there is a certain person that has posted on this web site as well as several others, under many different names. he was caught cheating the system, got fined and we all know the rest.
well, that same person, along with a few more, are basically spies and will use any and all information they can get to keep putting up barriers against a full inclusion to crossbows.
So Please bear with us for now and join us in our efforts to get full inclusion in WI. If you don't want a choice of weapon, that's fine, but many of us want the freedom of choice!
Check out the new website and join us now. Together We Can Make a Difference!!

Taste our Island Award
In 2007 the PEI ADAPT Council created an award to honor chefs and restaurants who purchase and promote PEI agriculture. By supporting farms from this locality these innovative chefs and restauranteurs are supporting sustainable and regional food systems.
This award is about agriculture. The products grown here on PEI are the best products for our market. When our PEI restaurants purchase products from Island farmers they are buying the freshest, tastiest, and greenest products in the world. This award is about industry. Our restaurants use creativity and imagination to produce amazing culinary creations. We have the renowned Culinary Institute of Canada right here on our doorstep. They produce a great crop of culinary experts every year, many of whom decide to stay on our beautiful Island.
This award is about tourism. The beauty of PEI draws many tourists every year. Tourists challenge us. They are, adventurous, demanding, and hungry. When PEI restaurants offer tourists our rich resource of raw ingredients they are creating a culinary experience unique to PEI. And finally, this award is about Islanders. As we watch our rural communities falter in the face of mounting global competition the best thing we can do is support the producers and the industries that choose to live here and set up businesses. By supporting each other we strengthen our Island, our people, and our culture.
By awarding this title annually we honor those who take the time to support each other.
Taste Our Island Award
The winner of the 2012 PEI ADAPT Council's "Taste Our Island" Award is The Inn at Bay Fortune. Operated by David Wilmer and his family, the Inn has consistently demonstrated a commitment to creating and serving excellent cuisine made from fresh, local ingredients. After purchasing the property in 1988, David performed a complete renovation, transforming the building into an inn and restaurant that has been delighting guests for twenty-four years.
Outside, the Inn enjoys a breathtaking view of PEI's eastern coast. Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, master chef Domenic Serio combines the bounty of local Island producers and the training he received at the Culinary Institute of Canada. The results, while difficult to describe, can be appreciated immediately with a single taste. Following the traditions of his predecessors, including Michael Smith of television's The Inn Chef fame, Domenic has a passion for freshness, perfect seasoning, and an impeccable flair for combining foods into an unforgettable meal. The offerings change with the seasons, but the focus on excellence remains constant.
The restaurant is renowned for its menu that includes seafood, meats and a Wine Spectator award-winning wine list. The Inn at Bay Fortune is located 45 minutes east of Charlottetown.
The Taste Our Island Award is presented annually to a PEI restaurant that achieves an outstanding level of excellence while using and promoting local products. For more information, please visit www.peiadapt.com.

I used to put off checking my oil for months, let alone topping it up. It used to nag at me and I'd always have more important or urgent things to attend to. There are lots of small things that just flow better in my life because I can mop up the little things (buying oil) while I'm taking care of the bigger things (buying weekly groceries).

Mountaintop removal / valley fill coal mining (MTR) has been called strip mining on steroids. One author says the process should be more accurately named: mountain range removal. Mountaintop removal /valley fill mining annihilates ecosystems, transforming some of the most biologically diverse temperate forests in the world into biologically barren moonscapes.

Steps and Effects
1. Forests are clear-cut; often scraping away topsoil, lumber, understory herbs such as ginseng and goldenseal, and all other forms of life that do not move out of the way quickly enough. Wildlife habitat is destroyed and vegetation loss often leads to floods and landslides. Next, explosives up to 100 times as strong as ones that tore open the Oklahoma City Federal building blast up to 800 feet off mountaintops. Explosions can cause damage to home foundations and wells. "Fly rock," more aptly named fly boulder, can rain off mountains, endangering resident's lives and homes.
2. Huge Shovels dig into the soil and trucks haul it away or push it into adjacent valleys.
3. A dragline digs into the rock to expose the coal. These machines can weigh up to 8 million pounds with a base as big as a gymnasium and as tall as a 20-story building. These machines allow coal companies to hire fewer workers. A small crew can tear apart a mountain in less than a year, working night and day. Coal companies make big profits at the expense of us all.
4. Giant machines then scoop out the layers of coal, dumping millions of tons of "overburden" – the former mountaintops – into the narrow adjacent valleys, thereby creating valley fills. Coal companies have forever buried over 1,200 miles of biologically crucial Appalachian headwaters streams
5. Coal companies are supposed to reclaim land, but all too often mine sites are left stripped and bare. Even where attempts to replant vegetation have been made, the mountain is never again returned to its healthy state. Reclamation Problems
Community Impacts
Coal washing often results in thousands of gallons of contaminated water that looks like black sludge and contains toxic chemicals and heavy metals. The sludge, or slurry, is often contained behind earthen dams in huge sludge ponds. One of these ponds broke on February 26th, 1972 above the community of Buffalo Creek in southern West Virginia. Pittston Coal Company had been warned that the dam was dangerous, but they did nothing. Heavy rain caused the pond to fill up and it breached the dam, sending a wall of black water into the valley below. Over 132 million gallons of black wastewater raged through the valley. 125 people were killed, 1100 injured and 4000 were left homeless. Over 1000 cars and trucks were destroyed and the disaster did 50 million dollars in damage. The coal company called it an "act of God".
Marsh Fork Elementary by Brittany Williams.
The school is in lower left of photo. The clear green patch in the lower left is the football field. The tall cylindrical white object is the coal silo, less than 200 feet from the school. The zigzag is the earthen dam holding the sludge lake (2.8 billion gallons), directly above the school.
Traditional mining communities disappear as jobs diminish and residents are driven away by dust, blasting and increased flooding and dangers from overloaded coal trucks careening down small, windy mountain roads. Mining companies buy many of the homes and tear them down. Dynamite is cheaper than people, so mountaintop removal mining does not create many new jobs.
Mingo County flood in West Virginia June 2004
Mountaintop removal generates huge amounts of waste. While the solid waste becomes valley fills, liquid waste is stored in massive, dangerous coal slurry impoundments, often built in the headwaters of a watershed. The slurry is a witch's brew of water used to wash the coal for market, carcinogenic chemicals used in the washing process and coal fines (small particles) laden with all the compounds found in coal, including toxic heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury. Frequent blackwater spills from these impoundments choke the life out of streams. One "spill" of 306 million gallons that sent sludge up to fifteen feet thick into resident's yards and fouled 75 miles of waterways, has been called the southeast's worst environmental disaster.
Of course, it's not only the people who suffer. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has written that mountaintop removal's destruction of WV's vast contiguous forests destroys key nesting habitat for neo-tropical migrant bird populations, and thereby decreases the migratory bird populations throughout the northeast U.S.

Has anyone seen this or Pure Havane at the Champs-Elysees Sephora store?
I just posted on another PM thread. I've just received PM today and I was and still am stunned at how good this is. I mean it was truly a WOW reaction, which rarely happens with me.
I also had a sample of pure havane and yet again it was a WOW at first sniff.
If the A series is canned tuna, then it's the finest canned tuna in the world - in fact I own several niche fragrances and I can honestly say PM and PH are imo of niche quality or better on every level; silage, longevity, quality, wow factor, price etc etc etc, the list goes on and on.
It's all a matter of personal opinion and my opinion is that some people simply cannot accept that a 'designer' fragrance is as good if not better that their niche fragrances, at a fraction of the cost. Quite sad really, but there you are...
Got it from House of Fraser 2 weeks ago. Someone told me I smelled 'like Christmas'. It's a really bloody gorgeous scent, and I'm astonished that it bears the name of one of my least favourite scents of all time.

Obama's retail FDI self-goal
By S Gurumurthy
Published: 18th July 2012 12:02 AM
Last Updated: 18th July 2012 12:02 AM
It is Hillary Clinton, US secretary of state now and Walmart director till 1992, who has been lobbying for foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail in India, the visa Walmart needs to enter India. Now it is the United States President Barack Obama himself. In the guise of urging a fresh wave of economic reforms, Obama has clearly asked India to invite Walmart. India is shocked at his ugly intrusion. The opposition is angry. The prime minister, as usual, is silent. The otherwise talkative India Inc too is quiet. "Obama is not properly briefed", laments Veerappa Moily. Anand Sharma asserts, hesitatingly, India's right to make policies. Some in the media — bit shamelessly — welcome Obama's uncouth intrusion editorially and with editorialised headlines like 'Policy paralysis in New Delhi reaches White House'. Actually, is not the otherway round? Is it not the White House that seeks to transfer its worries to New Delhi?
What drives the pressure on New Delhi for FDI in retail? Walmart lobbyists, Yes. However, the drive is deeper. Obama is desperate to lift the falling sentiments of US economy. The fundamentals of US and most European Union economies are weak with poor household, bank, government and national finances, all of them plagued by deficits and debts. That more and more paper money is being created and pumped in to keep households, banks and businesses solvent is now public fact. Some EU economies are actually bankrupt. On fundamentals, the US too would be, but for the US Dollar having unduly populated the world in its best times and co-opted the world to sink or sail with the US now. Obama and his advisers see no easy answer to such malaise built over three decades. The much touted US economic recovery since 2010, bargained at $6 trillion extra debt to US government since 2008, is turning into a mirage. From signs of fatigue in 2011 it is fear of downturn in 2012. In September 2011, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) downgraded the US economic growth from 2.5 per cent to 1.5 per cent and in 2012 from 2.8 per cent to 1.8 per cent. Recently, the Central Budget Office (CBO) US has predicted gloom for the US economy, with US deficit till 2019 projected at $9.5 trillion and the federal debt, $10 trillion in 2008 and $15.5 trillion in 2011, predicted to be $16.7 trillion by 2012. That is not all. US consumer debt is rising. Yet its consumption is falling from over 71 per cent in 2010 to less than 71 per cent in 2011. Household savings is down from over 8 per cent in May 2009 to 3.7 per cent in April 2012. The US needs more savings and more consumption together — like simultaneous summer and winter!
Understandably Obama looks for easy alternatives like fabricating sentiments to lift the markets. US economic thinkers, and their disciples world over, for instance, believe that if the emerging economies do well, US market sentiments and business confidence will rise. However, if China does well by more exports to US, that would actually do down the US. Again, if US consumers consume more, market sentiments and business confidence will rise, but that will dynamite household and the bank balance sheets even more. Yet, with the US now accustomed to living on the ventilator of market sentiments, not economic fundamentals, Obama believes that India opening its retail will lift market sentiments and business confidence in the US. He talks of additional jobs in US with Walmart in India. He is keen to show to American voters the FDI-in-retail trophy from India and promise more jobs to Americans. Not a single job may get added, but the sentiments will lift Dow Jones stock index, as Obama goes for polls. It is the presidential candidate Obama, more than President Obama, acting now.
Obama's intrusion is not without background. Even before Obama visited India in end 2010, efforts were made to welcome him with an invite to Walmart. US government, US Inc and US media had been working ahead of his visit on the Indian government, India Inc and Indian media for an invite to Walmart. Before Obama, Mike Duke, Walmart CEO came to India, met all concerned and left, optimistic about a Walmart entry. India Inc and the Indian media began pushing Duke's wish, shedding tears for the Indian farmer, for his plight at the hands of the Indian traders. However, time was too short for the final act. By July 2011, the lobbyists had perfected the records for the final act. On November 24, 2011, the prime minister announced a policy to allow 51 per cent FDI in Indian retail trade. The delight of US-Walmart was short-lived. The traders declared a strike. A united Opposition supported them. 'No roll-back' asserted the government. The fatal blow came from within the UPA. Mamata Banerjee got the PM's decision put on hold, till consensus emerged among stakeholders. An accomplished success thus ended in utter humiliation. See how the powerful and multifaceted lobbies strike back.
First the rupee mysteriously nosedives from `48-49 to a dollar in end February to between `55-57 during May to July. The rupee's fundamentals do not deserve that kind of fall, says the Reserve Bank of India. The three-month premia for future delivery of dollars rises suddenly from 6-7 per cent in December 2011 to almost 11 per cent in Feb-Mar 2012. This perhaps causes a huge rise in the purchase of dollar in the spot market, and forces the dollar to rise and the rupee to fall. This actually needs inquiry. The rupee's fall puts pressure on the soft points of Indian economy — falling forex reserves and rising oil prices. Using the situation, lobbyists promptly start cry for economic reforms.
In India reform means only opening the economy to FDI, particularly in retail now. Media and business lobbyists clamour for Walmart to save the Indian farmers! There is all round fear that, citing the stress, the government would go for an all-out opening of the economy, not just retail. Obama's intervention, however, has changed all that. He has made it impossible for the UPA government to invite Walmart now. If it opens the retail sector to FDI, it would be acquiescing to Obama. This needs a look at Indo-US history. For decades, the US was a suspect in the Indian mind. This long-held suspicion relates back to the Cold War days when the US promoted Pakistan and tormented India. Not much has changed despite the US being tortured by Pakistan now. Unaware of this sensitive history, Obama has blundered. His intrusion has raised questions over the motives of the US.
QED: Obama's self-goal has torpedoed all possibilities of an Indian visa to Walmart in the near future.

We do not need any more mallls as all are failing and closing and reopening after reducing running overheads. Our Indian wall mart is crores of road side Vendors supplying all types of daily basic needs. Farmers are always sceptical about government policies and middlemen selling their produce and making more money than reasonable. Our crores+ Rickshaw pullers are transporting people and materials and saving costly Petrol and Diesel. So who is keeping India ALIVE, RICH or POOR. So stop chasing developed world except for knowledge, gain it to use and create your wealth, contain population, create infrastructure and work hard with honesty is the real need. We are a big country and stand on our own leg and like chinese. When they can do it why not we? Fact is we are better placed than china but burdened by poor will and the governance. So let us forget FDI in retail till we are ready with enough wealth and consumers on our own terams. This may take minmum 50 years with new Governance.

Such high pressure salesmanship has been going on for the last few years. America is behaving as if India is it colony and is dictating what eocnomic policy it should follow. Two years back, when the Indo-US Business Council met. US officials gave a list of items to our minsiter where they wanted liberalisation and also went to the undiplomatic and arrogant extent of telling our minister that they expected the decision of the Indian govt. before their President visited India! The Indian govt. did not protest at this. There is no surprise therefore that this trend is continuing even more virulently. Shocking but it is true, that India gave Dow Chemicals another gift in Pune of researching in poisonous gases (it was dropped because of farmers' protest) and two years back, US had the temerity to ask India to abate the public outcry in India against Dow. Even then our governmetn was silent. Now they want us to open retail trade, etc. and are pronouncing verdict on our reforms process. T

This cannot be tolerated any more and public anger has grown. See the way govt's top Law Officers quoted Obama statement yesterday in the Supreme Court in the 2G case as if it is a US supreme court verdict to buttress their claim. Such recourse to comments of foreign govt's views are not made before our apex court; it is infra dig to so. UPA is slowly allowing our sovereignity to be diluted. Opening up retail trade to foreign interests will only serve western interest. A western study of lakhs of FDI projects in the 30 years 1970-2000 has classfied foreign invesmtent into good, bad and indifferent. Here in India we are prepared to lap up even Dow's offer FDI to research of all things poisonous gases a feidl in which they failed in Bhopal miserably. Further arguments are superfluous.

I enjoyed that telling message, "It is like wanting summer and winter at the same time". Rarely such great words are come across! Message is simple and straight for anyone: 'Once you are into spending ways uncaring for tomorrow or saving for rainy day, no one will come forward to pull you from going down the drain to help you again live in your own rampant spend-spend life style'. This message is clear to everyone but not so to spendthrift Western world & Americans. When I searched for the meaning of REFORM in Dictionary, I found following : '' Amend what is defective, vicious, corrupt, or deprived'; Reform Government and governing; reform of Elections; reformation" Not what it means- the meaning indicates that Govt. has to reform its style of functioning, eliminate corruption and provide for the deprived. Now, without understanding meaning of REFORM, why should all these persons shout in chorus, 'reform or FDI? FDI means = FAVOUR US & GET DOOMED INDIA.

ARTIFICIAL FIBERS--"Nylon, azlon, glass fiber, Vinyon, Orlon and other products have cascaded into the textile scene only within the past 15 years. Rayon, acetate and nylon have penetrated every wardrobe in the U.S., and the technological and military uses to which these and other synthetics have been adapted are legion. It is estimated that this year the world production of synthetic fibers will total more than three and one-half billion pounds, which means that they have outstripped wool and now stand second only to cotton and jute in the hierarchy of textile raw materials."

Was it Florentine and Quivers who did some kind of dating game quiz and they didn't know shit about one another? Or was that The Obese Black Woman and Mr. X?
Either way, I never bought their "dating." It seemed like a joke Florentine made and Robin called his bluff.
Have derision, will travel
Was that really a picture of them walkin together in San Francisco?
Did they ever fuck?
Florentine was known then as "Jungle Jim".

Rated 5 out of 5 by RaginCajun116 Great Pants!
These pants are great.....very warm for the thickness and fully waterproof. I wear a 36" waist and the large fits perfectly (adjusters on the waist are effective and easy to use to allow for layering, etc). As some of the other reviews mentoined, the waist is fairly high, which I actually appreciate as it keeps you from getting drafts when sitting and moving around. The pants alone are perfect for sitting in temps in the upper 30's through the low 60's (in my opinion); however, I typically wear UnderArmor base layer 3.0's under when the temps are in the 20's/low 30's and haven't been cold at all. The only negative is that the material is quite loud which is not a problem for duck hunting, but I wouldn't likely wear these deer hunting.

In order to get the waste size to fit the thighs are so tight you can't get in and out of a car let alone a pit blind or layout blind. I'm a big guy but never have had a problem with fitting any other clothes. Wish I could send them back...

Rated 4 out of 5 by TNHunter77 Great Pants
These pants are a little noisey in the woods but they are lined with fleece and very WATERPROOF. Maybe a little high-wasted so if you are used to wearing your pants below your belly button these pants ride a little high. Waist sizes are: M=32-34, L=36-38, XL=40-42. If anything these pants may run 1" larger than stated but very close to advertised.

Twitter chat with @vfreedlander and @TonyclementCPC
Posted by Joanna Smith, Ottawa Bureau
This should have happened a lot sooner, but on Wednesday I got around to checking whether Vern Freedlander, the Toronto-based vice-president of production at X2O Media Inc. is on Twitter.
I am interested in learning more about (and talking to) Freedlander because while he was working for the Town of Huntsville, he sent this email to Huntsville Mayor Claude Doughty detailing an alleged conversation with Environment Minister Peter Kent.
It raised some pretty serious questions about the $45.7 million G8 legacy infrastructure funds and how the money was doled out. I wrote a story about that on Monday. Environment Minister Peter Kent told me on Tuesday that the conversation the email describes never took place.
It turns out that yes, Freedlander (@vfreedlander) is on Twitter.
When I found his account, he had 14 followers (after I tweeted about it, he gained some new ones).
One of them was Treasury Board President Tony Clement (@TonyclementCPC). Now, it should be noted that Clement, who is pretty active on Twitter, follows more than 17,000 people. Still, the reason this follow-back is remotely relevant is that when Clement was industry minister, he passed along Freedlander's name to Doughty about the G8-related job he ended up getting.
It turns out that Freedlander has tweeted at Clement a few times. It appears, as far as what I can tell from the easily accessible Tiwtter archives, that the conversation was one-way.
For example, on June 19, Clement joked about something that happened to him on Father's Day and Freedlander wrote back.
Clement's timeline only stretches back to June 2011. This means it is not immediately possible for me to know whether Clement responded to any of these earlier tweets from Freedlander.
In any case, here is some more.

The most precious razor clams in the world: their flavor is incomparable. Razor clams propagate among the cliffs of Cabo de Finisterre. Under the water below the rocks are extended sandbanks, which provide a very rich and salty habitat. These clams must be harvested by hand, and the process is perilous. The divers collect each one by hand - one by one. The work is extremely dangerous. In five long hours of underwater diving, the divers can only get 10-20 kilos. Diving can only be done when the waters are calm.
Cabo de Finisterre is a thin spit of land that juts out into the turbulent Atlantic Ocean. It is the roughest part of the coast in Galicia. The name translates in English as 'the end of the world' and was the final goal of many of the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela. It is an area composed entirely of cliffs known as the Costa de la Muerte - the Coast of Death. It is also a coastline buffeted with high winds making any fishing enterprise extremely dangerous.

The Atheist's Way: Living Well Without Gods
By Eric Maisel
New World Library
208 pages
since Sam Harris first got our attention with The End of Faith,
a parade of atheist-themed books has come out. Thanks to people like
Richard Dawkins, Victor Stenger, Taner Edis and others the scientific
case for the implausibility of religious dogmas has been largely
made. Christopher Hitchens has made the politico-sociological case
against the desirability of religion, and Daniel Dennett has gotten
us to question religion and religious psychology. But until recently,
a few topics have been missing from our canon. Enter Eric Maisel and
his Atheist's Way.
Way presupposes atheism.
Maisel spends no time making a case for godlessness, a position he
sees as too evident (perhaps because the case has been made
elsewhere) to address in this slim volume. He has other, bigger fish
to fry, anyway, rather than rehashing the same old arguments against
cogent evidence for theism.
Maisel sets out to answer the question, "How then should we live?" and he largely succeeds in providing challenging answers that provide philosophical courage and direction without succumbing to unrealistic, wishy-washy, banal "inspiration."
This is the path of existentialism that looks reality in the eye unflinchingly and determines to create in our meaningless universe a source of boundless meaning from within. We nominate ourselves, we invest meaning, and we take off on a hero's quest. Some statements within the book reminded me of my favorite line from the TV series, Angel, in which the title character says, "In the greater scheme or the big picture, nothing we do matters. There's no grand plan, no big win....If there is no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. 'cause that's all there is....All I wanna do is help. I wanna help because I don't think people should suffer as they do. Because, if there is no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world."
Maisel might take exception to some parts of what Angel said. It is perhaps a little facile. But as a statement of principle for the character, it rather nicely reflects the attitude of Atheist's Way. In one sitting, I read it cover to cover. It took a couple of chapters to get into the book, but once I was hooked, I was hooked like a hungry trout.
Too few atheist writers, even the best ones, seem to know how to address the problem of meaning - not for themselves, but for others. It is fine for the relatively well-off and well-known to make brash proclamations about a godless universe without ultimate purpose, but where does that leave the overweight stock boy in Kansas who wants to be part of an epic struggle between opposing forces to give his life some meaning? I found Way has the answer: Anyone can be involved in an epic, heroic struggle against the forces, external and internal, that would seek to drain life of meaning. It truly is a heroic undertaking, and has the added virtue of being true in a way that demons, angels, and apocalypses never can be.
This is a book to challenge and improve an atheist's life, and to show the religious skeptic afraid of embracing atheism a clear-eyed view of what a life free of superstition can be. It is simply written, direct, accessible, and potentially life-changing. There's no excuse not to read this book, and I urge all atheists to do so. Frankly, we need a better class of non-believer, and adherence to the "Way" laid out in this book can help produce that.
The most loathsome movie character I know is Cypher from "The Matrix." Knowing what was real, he chose to re-enter the imaginary world of the matrix to experience fantasy comforts and pleasures rather than bravely facing a gray, bleak reality in which painful struggle could make him an actual hero. This choice is somewhat analogous to what Maisel lays out for the reader. As a life coach, he provides the insight, the motivation, and the methodology to make selecting the hero's journey seem not only achievable, but noble in a way that will satisfy the self.
The subtitle of this book is How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists, and thus Dan Barker gives his background from when he was born again to when he became a preacher at age 15. Dan had a 'call to the ministry' in 1964. In 1984 Dan sent a letter to 50 colleagues, friends, and family announcing that he was "somewhere between the agnostic and the atheist." This bold and brave act defined his new life course.
Dan shows that this change was not because he had been insincere in his religious convictions, or that he lacked faith. He describes how he felt when he believed that he received the Holy Spirit, and was born again. His commitment was deep and devoted. In his religious career, he describes the call into the ministry and his faith in being a witness for god. The reward was not financial, but it was the deeply personal experience of bringing others to Christ. Once again, he speaks with authority about this experience.
As he relates in his book, there were people who were very skeptical of his loss of faith. Those he left behind in religion could only see this through their own dark prism using phrases like:
"You dislike authority."
"You want to be different and stir up trouble."
"You are an angry person."
"You are arrogant."
Dan's journey away from faith is familiar. He was a person who asked questions, had a thirst for knowledge, and looked beyond religious materials. First, he confronted the issue of inerrancy. Liberal theologians, such as Tillich and Bultmann, caused him to think. Thus the questions raised weakened his faith but strengthened his intellectual curiosity. He said, "Faith and reason began a war within me." It was reason that won the war, but one gets the impression that this was not easy or done without emotional pain or loss.
Part two of Barker's book is a compendium of reasons for this loss of faith and his endorsement of reason. It is personal, but many readers will identify with the questions he raises and the answers he found. Whether he is refuting the proofs of god's existence or clashing with the most recent propositions for proving god's existence, Dan relates it as a personal experience that could and does happen to many atheists.
Part three is a handbook for debating Christians. Barker argues the issue of morality as it is portrayed in the bible. What is the test for a god who is claimed to be the source of morality for billions? We have all probably read the story of Sodom where Abraham raises the question, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Gen. 18:25) God did the right thing in that situation, if you believe the slaughter of hundreds of children and babies count among the unrighteous.
The fact is that the bible teaches us from authority, not from reason. It nowhere states that 'every human being possesses an inherent right to be treated with respect'. It presents religion's role models, especially Yahweh, Elohim, and Jesus, who often ignore their own teachings and are ruthless. As the Proverb says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Prov. 1:7) Time and again fear is the motivation behind obedience to the law and not understanding. Dan examines the recording of the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20: 7-17, Ex. 34: 11-26, Deut. 4:13), the result is we should be asking how one could believe these contradictions.
Part three continues by listing contradictions and discrepancies in the bible. The question is – how many do you think qualifies the bible for rejection as being the word of god – not even the inerrant word of god? The errors he lists in the recording of numbers could happen over time, but the contradictions on teachings and beliefs are numerous and far less excusable.
The two chapters on the existence of Jesus should have you packing your bags to leave on the free thought train. The historical challenges to the real Jesus have been examined in greater detail, but Dan gives an overview of the material that pointedly argues the case against a real Jesus.
Part four summaries his continued pursuit of atheism, and the issues it raises in our nation. Dan and the Freedom From Religion Foundation have challenged the relationship between church and state. The concluding chapters return to a more personal statement. Dan's message is clear and helpful to those seeking reason over faith. -Grant Steves

Since Israel and the religions that formed there receive so much attention worldwide, it is odd to remember that it is one of the world's countries that we know least about historically. Not only has archaeological research been difficult to perform there until the later 20th century, but the history that we do know has been muddied by a literal reading of the Bible.
About a third of Americans believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, and many more believe that some variation of the scriptures is true. Did the Exodus actually occur? Is it an exaggeration of an actual event? Were David and Solomon historical figures? As atheists, most of us are biblical minimalists, but there has always been very little evidence on which to build any sort of a strong case. Slowly, however, the archaeological field work taking place in Israel has been yielding results and we are now able to reconstruct a 'new' history of ancient Israel. The truth has finally emerged from the sand and rubble.
Israel Finkelstein is the director of Tel Aviv University's excavations at Megiddo while Neil Asher Silberman is a contributing editor of Archeology Magazine. In the introduction, the authors quote Roland de Vaux, who stated, "If the historical faith of Israel is not founded in history, such faith is erroneous." This is very true. And since the books of the Hebrew Bible are the foundation of the entire Judeo-Christian canon, the deeds and philosophies of all later prophets, including Jesus, have had the rug pulled out from underneath them.
The book is divided into three sections: Part one challenges the traditional history of the patriarchs and the conquest of Canaan. Part two explores the rise and fall of the Northern kingdom of Israel, and part three looks at the southern land of Judah and the composition of the Bible. There's no need to be a Biblical expert to read the book; the Old Testament stories are given a brief and readable synopsis before the evidence is examined and the alternative hypothesis given.
For all the textual critics and debaters out there, this book gives ample ammunition. The once thought 'glorious' reigns of David and Solomon have been shown to be little more than chiefdoms while Deuteronomy is shown to be nothing more than propaganda by King Josiah in order to create national identity for Judah in the 7th century BCE. Finkelstein's archaeological work is the final nail in the coffin of any form of Biblical literalism. It's enough to actually make reading the Bible enjoyable. -Vic Tanner
The Bible Unearthed
Why be even remotely concerned or interested in the debate over the inerrancy of the Bible? Because approximately forty million or more people in this country do believe the inerrancy of the Bible and about two hundred million more people believe the Bible to be the Word of God. Atheists may have written the Bible off as fiction, but others have not. Our continued interest in the debate over the Bible, Koran, and other religious books is about being informed by the most recent and accurate evidence on these issues.
Misquoting Jesus is a more recent effort to examine the text of the New Testament. In a more complex and scholarly work in, The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture (1993), Dr. Ehrman set down his argument about the New Testament text with more complete footnotes and comments. This gives a reader a choice in matters of complexity of materials.
Misquoting Jesus has a popular style of writing, and as a result it became a best seller. It is easy to see why this became a best seller. It is easy to see why this became a best seller from the introduction to the concluding depth. Dr. Ehrman's introduction describes his journey of faith in scripture to a skeptic of the scripture and an agnostic.

Scaffolding for Digital Curation Education: A One Week Unix Fundamentals Course
Date: January 2013
Creator: Helsing, Joseph; Lewis, Paulette; Moen, William E. & Salter, Jacqueline
Description: This poster discusses scaffolding for digital curation eductaion. As the demand for digital curation skills continues to grow, so does the need for an efficient way to teach digital curators how to interact with Unix based on computers and servers at the console and terminal level. The major challenge with teaching these skills is the amount of time it takes for instruction since there are too many fundamentals to teach in a weekend workshop yet not enough for an entire course. Thus, the authors proposed a week long scaffolding course to teach students the fundamental tools and processes to successfully interact in a Unix environment. The authors will teach students how to perform commands such as changing directories, moving and copying files, compressing folders, and altering permissions in the Unix environment. This will give students some basic preparation for digital curation work and for the (4) intermediate and advanced courses in digital curation and data management offered by the iCamp Project at the University of North Texas.

I'm a math professor. GTD works very well for me in most areas of my professional and personal life. One where I'm struggling, though, is on staying caught up on reading. I need an effective way to prioritize and read new research that comes out in my field.
Here's what I'm currently doing and what is and is not working. Most new papers that I want to read are posted on a preprint server called the arxiv. I get an email every day from the server with about 40 papers that have been posted in the areas I want to stay in touch with. The email includes abstracts of the papers; every day either first thing or over lunch I scan through the day's email and identify the papers that I want to look at, and flag them (by bookmarking them in my web browser).
After a certain amount of effort, I've disciplined myself to stay caught up with these arxiv emails. What I don't have, though, is a good system for what happens next. Of the papers I flag, probably 1/3 I'll discover I'm not interested in once I start reading, about 1/3 I'm happy just to read the introduction, and 1/3 I would in the ideal world read in more detail. I usually flag 5-10 papers a week for a closer look, so we're talking say 3 papers a week to glance at and not look further, 3 papers to read the introduction of, and 2 papers to read in more detail. This is more reading than I have time to do. I probably have time to read the intros of 3 papers a week, and skim one paper a week in more detail; delving into the nitty-gritty of a paper is much more time-consuming even than that, say one every two months.
Right now all my "closer look" papers effectively go in one big pile -- I download them all to my computer, to library management software. And there the pile sits -- it gets bigger and bigger. If there's a paper I know I'd like to look at in detail, I print it out and put it in a special "to read" pile on my desk. But I don't have any sort of system for processing this pile. So that pile sits on my desk and gets bigger and bigger.
And furthermore, I don't have a good way of deciding which of the papers I'd like to read I actually will read. I don't have time to read 2 new papers a week in detail, so I need some way to triage. And I need some way that is effective that will keep me up-to-date on the next step of processing this "inbox." The daily emails are good for that: there's a folder in my inbox that they go to that acts like a special-purpose inbox for this task. Beyond that, though, I get stuck.
In summary: I think the biggest things I'd like to tweak about this system is an effective way to triage which of the reading I'd like to do I actually will do, and how to manage the in-piles for the next stage of processing these new research papers.
Are there any other academics or others who have lots of reading coming in every day, more than they can possibly do, who have figured out good ways to manage this?

Questions for you: What opportunities will you embrace and celebrate today? Oh, and is it normal to find a dried-up worm in your child's bed? You know, hypothetically speaking, of course.
oh my...this brought such a big smile to my face...i love this...my daughter had a dead snail as a pet too...joy and wonder in the small things. thanks for starting my day with a big smile.~
I'm smiling big too, I loved it. I love children. I love her outfit! :) OH, we have had dried up worms. . .never found them in the bed, but we have had them. They joys of children. . .I wouldn't mind going back to those days:)
Ahhh, yes, thank you for noticing the outfit. It's a little combo of three pairs of pajamas and one other random pink piece. Oh, and the cowboy boots, they are a must.
Whew, another family with dried up worms. Good. She sneaks them in the house and hides them!
Oh, she is adorable. Love that smile!! Thanks, Amy, for capturing the beauty of a moment -- helping us to not want to miss opportunities to see.
Love it!! What a precious reminder to take it all in. Blessings, Kristin
One of the many gifts we have learned from Nichole (who has down syndrome) is to celebrate all of life. All of it, yes, including the slugs, opening a new box of crackers, or getting the mail.
Thanks for the smile.
So precious. She is adorable. Thank you for simple joy, and a huge smile along with your mommas heart. Visiting from Lisa Jo's FMF. Great post.
Ha! This is so perfect. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to watch my son discover a slug. Of course, being a boy offers a different kind of curiosity, and instead of naming it and playing with it my son chose to run it over with his big wheel several times. The result though, that being a dead slug, was the same. I wish I could say my experience gave me a new insight as inspirational as yours, however I have failed to find such a lesson. ;)
love it-- love your blog too ;)
You are a funny funny woman....and yes, perfectly normal to find a dried up worm in your child's bed because I once heard of that happening to someone I live with. I mean someone I know.
I'm still getting over that she picked up a live slug. With her hands. I will be having nightmares for the rest of my life now. ;)
i love kids. i really do. happy summer break!
She looks so very happy. I love that.
Kids know how to appreciate and celebrate the little things - we all need to relearn that from them.
Love how you captured this moment. This reminds me of my daughter. She makes friends and semi-tortured lots of insects and frogs. Loved them to pieces. But oh the happy moments of childhood.
This makes me smile. I love how 3 year old days unfold. :)
:) love it
I so love little Ruby! She is such a nature lover. It's so fun to watch her grow. I have been celebrating my son's return to writing. He stopped for awhile, and I hid my disappointment because I didn't want him to feel pressured. He's back at it again, which makes me smile. Also, my girl is singing her heart out right now as I type this. That's worth celebrating :)

Christine Lunsford started injecting a new drug this spring, a white powder she said caused her to attack her boyfriend with a knife.
The 35-year-old Wilmington Manor resident didn't buy the drug on a street corner. She didn't even break the law.
Lunsford legally purchased "bath salts," a powerful designer drug made of up to three stimulants, at a tobacco store on U.S. 13 near her home. She abused the drug for four months -- winding up in Wilmington Hospital in a psychotic state twice -- before she finally quit four months ago.
"It makes you absolutely crazy, like a walking paranoid schizophrenic," she said.
Federal and state authorities are now racing to ban the drug (already banned in 29 states), which is sending abusers like Lunsford to emergency rooms in Delaware and across the country in startling numbers.
Christiana Care and Bayhealth, which each oversee two hospitals, are treating about one person a day for adverse reactions, officials said.
