Bill would ax FEHBP in favor of Affordable Care Act plan
Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) introduced legislation to require federal employees, the president, vice president and members of Congress to use insurance under the Affordable Care Act instead of the current federal program.
Sequestration could cause delays in retirement processing, OPM says
The Office of Personnel Management says sequestration cuts have forced the agency to suspend overtime hours for employees working in its Retirement Services office and to curtail call-center hours.
So, what's next for feds?
Federal workers have figured out that this is not a drill. But for many feds, it is getting hard to keep track of what is happening, which threats are real and who their political adversaries are, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says. So, what's next?
Menu for retirees: Steak, to hamburger, to Alpo
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know: Would the new plan to revise future cost-of-living adjustments put federal and Social Security retirees on a more realistic (and healthy) steak-to-beans diet? Or would each non-raise get a little worse?
Chained CPI, TSP, and the 2014 budget
Financial Planner Art Stein and Federal Times Senior Staff Writer Stephen Losey join host Mike Causey to talk about a number of issues affecting federal workers.

Zen and your diet COLA
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know: If I chopped a couple of bucks off each of the future cost-of-living adjustments made to your federal retirement or Social Security benefits would you even notice? Or, would you pick up the fact that over time that is a lot of money that you will never see.
TSP board quashes extra loan option for furloughed feds
The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board says offering federal employees an extra loan option through their Thrift Savings Plans to cushion the impact of furloughs would require too much effort to implement and may not help the employees all that much. Several federal-employee unions have lobbied the board to add a second general purpose loan option to help cushion the blow of furloughs. But at a Employee Thrift Advisory Council meeting April 22, the board quashed the idea, citing the complexity surrounding the changes.
Taking the mystery out of Medicare
David Santana, with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, answers your calls and emails about the Medicare system.
Does GS system need an update? Lawmakers ask GAO to review federal pay scale
A trio of lawmakers from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee want the Government Accountability Office to examine whether the General Schedule system for federal employees needs an update. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), said the watchdog agency's review would aid the lawmakers in evaluating "the appropriateness of the General Schedule (GS) as a pay scale for today's workforce."
Military groups fight to stop DoD budget proposal
Advocacy organizations are criticizing the Pentagon's proposed fee increase for TRICARE as unfair and discriminatory.
Chained CPI, TSP, and the 2014 budget
Financial Planner Art Stein and Federal Times Senior Staff Writer Stephen Losey join host Mike Causey to talk about a number of issues affecting federal workers.
April 17, 2013
Fed employee group calculates lost benefits under chained CPI
President Barack Obama's proposal to change the way retirees' cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) are calculated has drawn the ire of federal-employee groups and unions. The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) has released a calculator designed to show retirees and policymakers how benefits would be reduced if the chained CPI were implemented.
LTC = Long-term peace of mind
Joan Melanson of Long Term Care Partners answers calls and emails about the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program.

Never-gonna-happen furloughs happening
When sequestration was proposed, politicians said it would never happen. It did. When it triggered furlough warnings, some said they would never take place. Except they are happening right now, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
Feds in Survivor Island mode
President Barack Obama wants to make federal service cool again. But his budget proposals, which would reduce future retirement benefits and force feds to pay more for them, has a lot of current civil servants hot under the collar, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey.
FEHBP modernization plan receives cautious optimism from Hill
The Office of Personnel Management told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that the 50-year-old law creating the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) has hurt its ability to keep the FEHBP up-to-date. The agency estimates billions in savings over the next decade should Congress approve the White House's proposals in the 2014 budget request.
Is your retirement check shrink-proof?
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know: Would you be willing to accept a slightly smaller retirement benefit if it would help get the country out of debt? What if future cost-of-living adjustments to your civil service benefit were reduced by a mere 0.3 percent each year?
The John Berry legacy at OPM
Carol Bonosaro, president of the Senior Executives Association, and NFFE president William R. Dougan will give their thoughts on John Berry's four years as director of the Office of Personnel Management.
April 10, 2013
President's 2014 budget includes pay increase, but retirement changes loom large
Federal employees would see a slight pay bump next year under President Barack Obama's proposed budget for 2014. But at the same time, the White House budget outline proposes sweeping changes to federal employees' retirement benefits, including reductions to annual cost-of-living increases for retirees.
DoD's 2014 budget: Fewer civilians, higher retiree health fees
The Defense Department's 2014 budget proposal reduces the size of the civilian workforce slightly, increases TRICARE premiums, and requests another round of base closures. It also calls for a slight raise for both civilian employees and uniformed servicemembers. The budget significantly exceeds the Defense spending caps in current law.

A health inspector makes quite the discovery at Little Ones Discovery Center on 909 South Jackson in Pharr.
The facility is busted with roach feces inside some plastic containers below the sink, according to the report. They were thrown away.
19 demerits were found.
The Food Patrol was allowed to tour the contaminated area in question.
The owner's mother, Ana Villarreal, who also works in the kitchen, claimed there were never any roaches.
"I wasn't here that day," she said.
"Then why were the containers thrown away?" the Food Patrol asked.
"Pero it wasn't roach poop," Ana said. "I know cucaracha poop."

On several earlier articles like this one, we were versed with the model numbers and even possible prices of AMD's next-generation FX series desktop processors, but the clock speeds stayed under the wraps, that's until a table listing them out was leaked. AMD's FX-series consists of eight-core FX-81xx parts, six-core FX-61xx, and quad-core FX-41xx parts, probably harvested out of the Zambezi silicon by disabling modules (groups of two cores closely interconnected with some shared resources). Most, if not all, FX series chips have unlocked multipliers, making it a breeze to overclock them. All chips come in the AM3+ package, feature 8 MB of L3 cache, and 2 MB L2 cache per module. Leading the pack is FX-8150, with a clock speed of 3.6 GHz, and TurboCore speed of 4.2 GHz, a 500 MHz boost. The next chip, FX-8120, has a boost of close to a GHz, it has a clock speed of 3.1 GHz, that goes all the way up to 4 GHz with TurboCore. This will be available in 125W and 95W TDP variants. Next up is the FX-8100, with 2.8 GHz clock speed, that goes up to 3.7 GHz, another 900 MHz boost. The scene shifts to 6-core chips, with FX-6120, no clock speed numbers were given out for this one. FX-6100, on the other hand, is clocked at 3.3 GHz, with 3.9 GHz Turbo. The FX-4100 is the only quad-core part with clock speeds given out by this source: 3.6 GHz, with a tiny 200 MHz boost to 3.8 GHz. You can see that there is no pattern in the turbo speed amounts specific to models, and hence we ask you to take these with a pinch of salt. Source: DonanimHaber
3.6 out of the box, interesting that they are starting with the clocks so high. Also there is a typo here I believe thats suppose to be 3.7 as the chart and your final 900mhz gap show.
I'm really curious about the FX-6xxx perfomance, since it's basically 3 "Bulldozer" Modules with 2 cores each.
These speeds look good. But if this is accurate, I would jump right to a FX-8120 instead of a 8150. The clocks are close and the gap can be eliminated by OC. C'mon AMD! I'm almost changing my mind and about to consider Intel. Launch the CPUs. DO EEEEEET!
As we have seen in the past clock speeds mean nothing if the architecture of the CPU isn't performing. I remain skeptic until the final product is released.
I know it's the same news, but look at the PS message about another delay: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?273239-Bulldozer-FX-Clock-Speeds-Revealed I bet that the yields are horrible (my guess: f one of the cores in a module isn't good, then the whole module is "dead"), IF this is true.
It's all about the cash money for me; will it be worth getting it brand new to replace my current processor? As an AMD fan for MANY, MANY years I held off of going to The Dark Side JUST so I could see how these stack up to Intel. If I can get better/comparable performance than my current processor and reach or exceed the performance of a i5/i7 for slightly (or significantly) cheaper I am all down for it. Maybe I'm oversimplifying a little but that's how I see things.
So I was mostly right when I said we could expect around 10% better clocks at most than on the engineering sample. And it's pretty clear they are doing some very tight binning to do so, if we consider the second and 3rd chips are clocked so low, even below the ES, 500 Mhz difference with the top one is a very big difference. Yield issues can almost be taken as granted too. Sorry to sound negative, but I'm just being realistic. AMD will have some solid products at good prices with these, but in no way capable to compete with Intel head on, if Intel does not want to, at least. And of course, like in the past few years the reality is that Intel will continue to price their CPUs too high (compared to what they could or should be "fair") because they have no competition. Only as low as required to be or look like a better deal than AMD's. Sigh. Let's hope that AMD can at least fix it in a few months, kind of like Nvidia did with GF110 or if AMD manages an improvement akin to what they did with Phenom II, there's at least some hope. BD is not right there (quite far yet), but it's closer to compete with Intel's best than Phenom and P2 ever were. PS: I'm going to buy some popcorn. Need to be prepared before seronx joins in and starts his own damage control campaign.
Why does everyone assume BD os going to be dirt cheap? Top 8 Core BD - 330 dollars Top 6 Core BD - 230 dollars Thuban and denab were so cheap because they were shit compared to Bloomfield.
No Thuban and Deneb only seemed cheap compared to Intel's bloated prices. Intel will price their CPU high with or without competition. Intel are not concerned about what AMD are doing. Intel care only about Intel and will charge whatever they want regardless of how well or not-so-well Bulldozer performs.
I got my 1090T for ~290€ when it came out, i7-930 was around ~280€ at that time, they weren't cheap then. And if 4 module Zambezi will be ~$330, I don't think that is expensive, it's 8 cores we are talking about here.
That is pretty cheap considering Intel has several desktop models at $500+. These are a lot higher clocks than I expected. If these are accurate, OC may actually be pointless depending on how well turbo works. If it works like AMD claims, all you will need to do is put a big fat cooler over the CPU. You turn on something CPU intensive, it notes the low temp, and boosts all 4, 6, or 8 cores to max. Still want real performance figures, but I can wait.
Intel was priced higher because Amd couldn't compete clock for clock. Examples : http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/100?vs=80 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/100?vs=185
I'm really curious about how bulldozer performs, since it's a completely new microarch. (not sure about the E.Sample)
The 1366 Chips are an absolute waste of money ever since Sandy Bridge was released. The ONLY reason to even consider a 970/980/990X is if you really need 6 cores.
I always had this urge to get an AMD processor because of a few things: 1. Price/Performance 2. Upgrade paths 3. Help support the underdog #1 and #3 are no longer a factor for me and haven't been for a long time. My E8400 has been flying, spanking PII's for years and I haven't looked back. Also, the underdog argument...I'm starting to care less and less about AMD's processor lineups because they haven't shown ANYTHING worthwhile to me, at least in relation to competing with similar Intel processors in terms of performance. So the only thing left for me to root them on in is the fact that they don't change their sockets every 6 months or so like Intel does. And that alone will not get me to go to AMD's side. I'm starting to lose faith more and more as time goes on in this never-ending struggle to see who is going to be on top (because we all know Intel will always be on top with enthusiasts, other segments are up for debate though). Was thinking the same thing
Those examples don't dismiss what I'm saying. We all know the Phenom IIs are slower so those benchmarks are irrelevant. Hypothetically even if the Phenom Is performed better than the Core 2 Duos or the Phenom IIs better than the I7s, Intel wouldn't care. They have a big name, big marketing campaigns and will still charge you more for a slower processor. Why because they're Intel, look back in history back when AMD was on top, Intel couldn't care less and charged ridiculous prices still and the customers still bought it!
I purchased my 1055T on launch date from TigerDirect for $150 - $25 MIR with free shipping. The rebate came quickly too! Maybe I just got lucky (as TD sold out in like 30 mins), but nothing else from AMD or Intel has ever come close to that kind of value on launch date (hell, even months afterwards). Edit: You guys see this? If you cannot wait and B1 is good enough, throw down some dough!
You do realize that Intel's prices were that high before the Phenom II's came out right? They didn't lower the price due to lack of competition in the highest performance market. They didn't raise it because of it. Hell, those chips are cheaper now than when they first came out and they are still over prices to me. They have been a waste of money to me for quite some time. And while you are correct about the 2600K competing well against the 1366 chips, it often required 4 Ghz+ OC to do well against them at stock. Just saying.
Sandy Bridge Decimates all the 4 core 1366 chips at stock speeds and only loses a few tests to the 6 cores. Where did you read it needs to be overclocked to compete?
Thats nice as I was only talking about the 6-core chips. And pretty much every review that included figures from the 980X. Which is a little unfair, but whatever. It beat it out in a few test, by a little. Everything else was often not even close. Granted the 2600K put a nice gap between it and everything else on the market, but the 980X hill is just monsterous.
Found this on OBR's blog: Tomorrow means today, since that was written yesterday. So I'm guessing more masked numbers from OBR

Press room
Oxfam is calling for more investment to go into preparing people for floods and other disasters in Pakistan as it marks its 40th year of working in the country this week.
It was a night of film stars and philanthropy at the Armani Hotel in Dubai as the Dubai International Film Festival unfurled the red carpet for 'One Night to Change Lives', the annual gala fundraiser in aid of UAE-based philanthropic organization, Dubai Cares, and world-wide development organization, Oxfam.
International agency Oxfam will start distributing 400 tons of rice seeds in six rural municipalities south of Tacloban today (Thursday 12 December) to help farmers win their 'race against time' to avoid missing the next growing season.
If Europe were to rule out its support of biofuels by 2020, the region could lower its net imports of grain and oilseeds by up to 27 million tons, remarkably reducing its dependence on foreign goods. Global food prices could also drop significantly.
Despite widespread destruction and massive logistical obstacles in the wake of the Philippines typhoon, fast action backed by generous international support and the solidarity of local people has helped millions of people survive and prevented any major outbreak of disease.
Aid agency Oxfam is today launching a major appeal to help families affected by the Syria Crisis get through the harsh winter months – and beyond.

Scientists unveil superior and cheaper East Coast Fever vaccine
Kenyan and American scientists have opened renewed research to find an anti-tick vaccine to control East Coast Fever, which still kills thousands of the country's cattle, by stopping cattle from becoming carriers that pass the disease to uninfected ticks.
The research at the International Livestock Research Institute in Kenya (ILRI) is taking a two-pronged approach to eliminating the disease, which is not a contagious disease, but spread through a parasite that ticks pick up when they bite infected animals.
Farmers in many parts of Africa use a vaccination method against East Coast fever known as infect and treat, where they infect animals with live parasites and then treat them with drugs to help them recover.
This immunizes cattle against a full case of the deadly fever, but means that uninfected ticks that bite the vaccinated animal can still get infected, and spread the parasite on to other animals. The new research is now targeting better ways of killing the parasite itself, through vaccination.
"The development of combined vaccines conferring protection against pathogens transmitted and the respective vector may be a prerequisite for the success of vaccine development against protozoan pathogens, including Theileria parva, the causative agent of East Coast fever (ECF), an acute tick-borne disease causing high rates of morbidity and mortality in cattle in 12 countries in sub Saharan Africa," said ILRI, unveiling the new research.
"As the livelihood of small-holder farms, often managed by women, is dependent on one or two cattle, the financial burden due to loss of income and livestock products impacts on the quality of all aspects of family life," it added.
For these reasons, "ILRI is undertaking a research to analyse the transmission of piroplasms from T. parva infected cattle to uninfected nymphal ticks. T. parva is mainly transmitted by the brown-ear tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus."
"Additionally, we will attempt to isolate and characterise novel tick gut antigens of R. appendiculatus with the final goals of enhancing the performance of existing tick vaccines that are based on the BM86 antigen."
According to scientists, current vaccines also require cold storage, adding to their cost and making it difficult to use them in many areas of Africa.
For more than four years, American and Kenyan scientists have studied diseases carried by ticks. The work in the US centered on the parasite that causes Texas cattle fever, which is common to the Americas. But this year, the scientists began a new study in Africa aimed at developing a new vaccine for the East Coast fever parasite that does not require infecting and treating animals or the need for cold storage.

(Mac/ Hector)
Girl I love to watch you
You're like candy to my eyes
Like a movie that you've seen but gotta watch just one more time
But that smile you're wearing
It's a beautiful disguise
It's just something you put on to hide the emptiness inside
And you seem so lonely
But you don't have to anymore
If you're a heart without a home
A rebel without a cause
If you feel as though you're always stranded on the shore
Like a thief in the night
Let me steal your heart away
Baby if a reason's what you're looking for
I'll be yours
I'll be yours
You need a new sensation
One you've never had before
I got a feeling if I gave you some you'd probably want some more
Did you know that baby
You're the bluebird in my sky
I only wanna make you happy cause I love to see you fly
And if you feel lonely
You don't have to anymore
I'll be yours
I'll be the raft in the tide
I'll be yours i'll be the truth in the lie
And what's more when no one open the door i'll be the home you're looking for.

Alfresco for Salesforce
Today, many sales teams share their documents via email, resulting in critical paperwork piling up in everyone's inboxes, confusion on versions, and lack of a single view on where paperwork is in the process.
Today, many sales teams share their documents via email, resulting in critical paperwork piling up in everyone's inboxes, confusion on versions, and lack of a single view on where paperwork is in the process.
Aaron Heath from Saks.com will return and give us an update on his e-commerce project.
Learn how Alfresco can help your organization manage content securely with audit-able collaboration between internal and external users using the unique "Hybrid Enterprise Content Management" solution.
The players in the media industry have to deliver the right content at the right time.
Most Records Management (RM) solutions, in the market today, are expensive, complex and designed to meet the needs of records managers and compliance officers.
Many companies struggle to get user adoption of traditional records management solutions due to the fact that they do not support the way people want to work today. Users are looking for solutions that make it easy to collaborate with work colleagues and business partners in other companies.
The Workdesk at Work webinar series is aimed at helping executives, managers and architects better understand how Alfresco Workdesk can be used to help streamline content-centric processes that have been difficult to model using traditional content management solutions.
The legacy of Records Management (RM) systems within the government is one where RM solutions have traditionally been designed for dedicated agency compliance offers, rather than content creators, and deployed in a standalone environment, disconnected from agency collaboration and ECM systems.
The evolution of the Web over the years has deeply immersed us into a new era of engagement, and enterprises are striving to achieve higher levels of customer engagement across all of their online channels. Selecting the right Web CMS to build your solution upon is critical to online success.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bream!
The finest classical guitarist in the second generation of the instrument's modern history, a master of the Spanish repertoire who also showed that the guitar could speak languages other than Spanish, the inspiration of many now classic guitar works by Benjamin Britten, Malcolm Arnold and many others, a pioneer in the resurgence of Renaissance music and the lute, a superb Bach interpreter, and a master colorist whose range of tones and touches remains unsurpassed, celebrates his 80th birthday today. Mostly self-taught on guitar, he has built the most impressive discography of any classical guitarist since Segovia, including first-choice recordings of much of the standard repertoire — and this on an instrument whose latest practitioners are far greater in number and skill than their predecessors. I don't mind saying that not only is he my favorite classical guitarist, he has long been one of my favorite classical musicians in any field. So, with music by Joaquín Rodrigo (including the best-ever "Concierto de Aranjuez") and J.S. Bach (the Chaconne) today, and more later in the week, let's wish a happy 80th to Julian Bream! For more, check out this 2007 interview from Gramophone magazine.

Today is my rest day from the Hip Hop Abs month long challenge. I have never been one that is really big on organized… well much of anything to be honest about it. But I can say whole hartedly that today I'm missing not having a scheduled workout.
That is something that I would have never said in a million years. So what is different this time? What is it that drives me? I'm not sure that I know how to answer those questions but something that Joe Cross said on a segment of Dr. Oz made me stop and think.
"We spend the first 40 years trying to kill ourselves and the next 40 to to save ourselves." At least that was the general gist of it. I turned 40 last year so this hit close to home for me. I guess this is me trying to make up for the first 40 where I didn't really care about my body or my health for that matter.
Sure I would go on a diet here and there but none of them ever made any sort of long term changes. Finding out that I have issues with gluten made some of this easy, not that being gluten free has been easy it has been anything but. It cuts out a bunch of my favorite comfort foods, bread being the big one.
It is even deeper then just not being able to have the stuff. I have made so many changes in the last few moths that are healthy I don't know if I could go back to eating the way I did just 2 short months ago. I don't like the way processed food tasted if it not all natural it has a weird taste to it. That is not to say that I don't sometimes still eat stuff in excess but it is a completely different type of food. No I will od on organic strawberries and not cookies.
I know that I may never get to be a size 2 but I am very proud of the fact that I have made all the changes that are leading me to see that I can make positive changes that I can see in the size of clothing that I wear. I was able to buy a few things from Old Navy this weekend that were in the ladies section. I have only ever gotten stuff from the men's things, hoodies and what not.
It really brought it home that my body was changing. I hope that was enough so that I don't pull my normal self sabotage. The few times that I did try proved more difficult, due to the fact that I feel so much better without the gluten, and most of my go to foods are all gluten based.

Since the shoe is the dwelling-place of the foot, the lowest and dirtiest part of the body, which is in constant contact with all sorts of dirt, it is not difficult to understand why in some cultures showing the bottom of these ignoble objects is a mighty insult.
Keep your soles hidden by sitting on them if you are asked to sit cross-legged on the floor or by tucking them underneath you.
Revealing the soles of the shoes is an insult in all predominantly Muslim countries.
It is worth noting that, before entering a mosque, one removes one's shoes as a way of maintaining the purity of the place of worship - though whether this is the cause or effect of the sole of the shoe being considered impure is not clear.

Hi all,
I have been enjoying my RP3 quite a bit, and I have a small amount of store credit so I am thinking of an upgrade of sorts. The question is: should I get a Rega Fono MM preamp? I am currently using the phono input on my Rotel RA-02 and I am wondering if the Rega Fono would be a big improvement (or a small one, or...totally insignificant and a waste of money!). I have the Elys2 cart and I was reading some things on this thread that are relevant to my question:
(I would have posted in the thread, but it is pretty old so I figured I'd start a new one.).
After reading the thread, I started to wonder if my money would be better spent upgrading the cart to an Exact, or some other cart entirely (as it seems many people do not seem to favor the Rega carts, including one of the posters in the thread). I had come to a conclusion based on what I read in the thread and elsewhere that getting the Rega Fono preamp would really be an improvement IF I also then paired it with the Exact or some other cart. I also gathered that I would see SOME benefit from the Rega Fono with the Elys2 cart, but nothing too spectacular. Based on this, I was thinking since my cart is pretty new and has a lot of life left, I would buy the preamp and wait to hear its TRUE value at some point down the road when I eventually upgrade my cart. Is this sound thinking, or should I upgrade the cart now, try to sell the Elys2 now while it is relatively "fresh" and then get the Fono at some point in the future? Any help or advice would be most appreciated!

Lemon Pie
Lemon pie, lemon meringue pie, lemon meringue tart. You may call it in any ways but the fact is that it changes little in format. A sweet tart base holds the lemon curd filling and it's finally topped with a "lid" of fluffy meringue. At this point is when you can get creative, using a piping bag to pipe authentic masterpieces, or simply spreading the meringue roughly with a knife. Once out of a speedy visit to the oven, the meringue will be brown while the rest will remain cold ready to serve.
Despite the fact that lemon flavoured custards and pies where already popular on medieval times, the wonderfully contrasting combination of lemon meringue pie was put together on the 19th century, after meringue becoming very fashionable in France and Switzerland during the 18th century.
Oh, and apparently, the 15th of August is the National Lemon Meringue Pie day.

Would you want some fucking moron with hands that regularly wipe a gaping twat to touch your food?
The dipshit might think he'll catch cancer.
Haha he's not touching that shit with a 10 ft pole. He couldn't even be polite when he said no way.
Even though Howard has caused his show to become complete shit, he still knows that discussions of cooking and recipes on the radio is entirely boring.
Knowing her for over 20 years, he knows she did shit when it came to that book.
Q:Why won't howard let robin cook for him?
A: He is perfectly capable of counting out 6 cashews all by himself, like a big boy.
We will not be used as an instrument of ridicule. We will not be made fun of. We are simply going to be here, be proud, be large, and enjoy what we feel is our right to food.
Howard has hugged her. He knows what she smells like. He's aware of how hygienic she is or isn't. I wouldn't want her touching my food either.
it's a question of hygiene, nothing more or less
He has so many slaves, why does he need another?
The Wig doesn't like purging in strange crappers.
She said on the Wrap Up Show that she was going to have her co-writer "chef" make the food, so she was just looking for a way to hijack more airtime for her stupid fucking book.

Millar will hold his nerve on London Scottish bow
11:02am Friday 20th September 2013 in Sport
By Andy Weston
Fly half Lee Millar will be out to hold his nerve on his Championship debut at Bristol on Sunday.
The 21-year-old missed last weekend's curtainraiser at Allianz Park that saw Scottish thrash league new boys Ealing Trailfinders 44-13 to top the table.
But he is in line to make his first start for his new club this weekend, following a summer switch from Irish side Gala.
And he is hoping he can keep it all together.
"I cannot wait to get out there and experience my first game in the Championship," said Millar "My nerves were jangling when I was told I would be playing, but I am going to really enjoy it.
"They will be coming out all guns blazing to get their first win of the season.
"We have just got to step up and kick-on from last week and get another win under our belts.
"It was a physical encounter for Bristol against Cornish Pirates, so I expect it to be a similar match and for me to get hit a few times."
Scottish ran in five tries against Ealing last week, but Millar reckoned the scoreline did not tell the full story.
"Results last weekend indicate it's going to be a pretty tough league this year with plenty of upsets," he added.
"We need to concentrate on our own affairs and worry about nothing else."

BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Secretary Ken Salazar (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Tuesday, April 24, 2012
Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who oversees energy development on the nation's public lands and coast lines, makes remarks at a National Press Club luncheon on Tuesday.
Salazar discusses the Interior Department's plan for streamlining land-based drilling permits. In March, Salazar moved closer to allowing seismic-mapping surveys off the Atlantic coast to find oil and gas and other resources.
Interior continues to be criticized from all sides. The GOP objects to the Agency for not approving new drilling fast enough while environmentalists, citing the BP oil spill, protest drilling in the Atlantic Ocean.
Sec. Salazar is also addressing the White House'a approach to energy policy – including gas prices, offshore drilling, domestic energy development and other energy-related issues.
In addition to offshore oil drilling, his agency oversees the water management, the National Park system and the conservation of wildlife through the Fish and Wildlife Service.

Please note that this is not a religion thread, so please keep your religious views to yourself.
Specifically, I want to talk about (as the title states) the concept of Spirituality vs. Science. It seems that throughout history, spirituality has always been a huge part of the human existence. It's very natural for most of us to assume or believe that there's something more to ourselves and to the world than what we can observe with our 5 senses. The problem with spirituality (or perhaps the strength of it), is that it is very hard to define, and that it differs from person to person. Spirituality, is, in its truest form, a very personal experience. Many would argue that our moral values and our tendency for altruism comes from objectives moral values influenced by natural human spirituality.
Many Scientists would argue that "Spirituality" does not exist, and is just a natural human construct, based on natural human genetics and behaviors. Many Scientists would also argue that anything that can't be defined (such as Spirituality) can't really be believed in, at least with any degree of certainty. I hear the argument often that Scientists attribute our tendency towards "Spirituality" with our inherent hyperactive agency detector; in other words to see purpose or sentience in arbitrary or natural events. The Scientific argument goes that there is a natural, genetic explanation for all human behavior, including the idea of spirituality.
Religious people who may consider themselves very "spiritual", may wonder why their views are not relevant to this thread. The reason I don't want this to become a religious discussion is that religion is, inherently, the hijacking or tainting of spirituality. If spirituality is inherently present in all of us, then it is something we should be able to find on our own, not have to be indoctrinated in to. The fact that 95% of religious people share the same religion as the society they were brought up in, means that their religion is not an intrinsic spiritual value, but a result of an external influence. The effects of external influences on people has been well-documented by Science, and thus the results of these experiences can not be qualified as "spiritual". If Spirituality does exist, it should be something that naturally exists within us, outside of the realm of Science, and which can be accessed without the influence of others.
So what do you guys think, does Spirituality exist, or can it all be explained by Science?

I think you would be wrong there. There are some very good arguments about what makes people behave as they do. Many accredited Scientists do say that human behavior can be explained or defined through genetics (I'm not saying I agree with them though). Check out Daniel C. Dennett's book "Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon" in which he explains (or attempts to explain) religion and spirituality through cognitive studies and the use of Science.

Hes hardly a real scientist and that book has hardly anything scientific. Btw I dont consider psychology to be a science. The only way we will ever explain behavior is when we understand the brain which is one of the main problems science is trying to solve.
Evolution is just a theory!

Could you list some of the main arguments / studies of that book here ?
Unfortunately it is quite impossible to actually prove rock solid that a human is just a very complex machine. Its usually the hardline behaviorists that claim this. You can... of course study the human as a bio,psycho,social creature and come up with a model that you can use as a point of view to study a human, sometimes very well. Unfortunately however it is impossible to reduce humans to "just that". Many have tried and an equal amount has failed. Then again in science especially in psychology you always suffer from some level of reductionism.
I do have to somewhat side with Graviton. Scientists that argue that humans are "nothing but a..." naively believe in science like some believers naively believe in god. Both paths are bad. Especially in science, since it allows no room for self criticism thus removing 1 very important aspect of science, which is that science always strives to correct itself, and criticize itself.
Then there is the question. Why cant god, or some higher being, or some cosmic power use those psychological processes? Do they rule each other out?

I'm not disagreeing with you, in fact I tend to lean a little more towards the spiritual side than Scientific when explaining many aspects of human behavior. Of course, like you said, most of it is still up for interpretation until we know more. I was just curious of people's opinions.
In terms of your final question about whether Science and "God" can co-exist; I think this is multi-faceted. In terms of a generic "spiritual god", of whom can be defined in nearly infinite ways, I don't see how Science directly contradicts with that. However, specifically defined Gods, who exist in the texts of religion, are very contradictory to Science. For example, Creationism and Evolution are not really compatible at all. The miracles that most religious books claim are improbable or impossible according to Science. The Earth is older than 6,000 years old according to Science etc.

Almost impossible...
Some have explained this by saying that that motor is somehow a sum of many different smaller parts that just happened to fuse, but yeah... I don't know.
Evolution inside species is true however and should not be questioned. Its a fact. Heck by continuing that i could see some species branch out even, but from microorganisms to lets say... frogs. I just see too many problems with it.
*Edit* I dont think OP wanted this to be the subject of this thread though
OP wants to hear:
1. Scientist have it all figured out so far, they have a pretty good grasp of things.
2. Spirits do not exist (even though God is a spirit, angels are spirits, and we have a spirit/soul)
3. Spirituality is just something that humans made up so they can feel more important than a dung beetle.
4. Science can explain everything and anything using our 5 senses.
I'm just saying this is what he would like to hear. God is super natural, spirits are supernatural, you will find out when you die, or when Jesus returns.

My experiences:
While I would call myself an atheist, I have had spiritual experiences which puzzle me and which at this point I cannot explain. More specifically, I am prone to very vivid and almost prophetic dreams. These dreams differ distinctly from my normal dreams.
A few very glaring cases:
I dreamed that my girlfriend was perched on my neck, sucking the blood from my neck while I grew weaker and weaker. Upon waking I felt vividly that the dream meant something. Later that day she called me and asked if I could only apply to colleges that were local so we could stay together. I broke up with her that same day.
-You could argue that the dream reflected my inner worries about the inbalance in the relationship and that what happened was coincidence, but I can't explain how vivid the feeling was upon waking that the dream had somehow portrayed a powerful truth.
A second instance: I had a dream that a friend(she used to be one of my teachers while I was in high school) was climbing a cliff, slowly crawling up the steep ledges with her shoulders bulging. A dark skinned baby was strapped to her back, screaming and crying. When I woke up I had the sense that I needed to tell her about the dream. I called her and told her what had happened, and she started crying and said a quick goodbye and hung up. I heard later that she had broken up with her boyfriend that day, who was a black man and who I had known nothing about.
I've had a few dreams where I dreamed that I would meet someone in a specific place and then the following day I met them there. I dreamed the face of a woman and I met her the next day and ultimately dated her for two years.
I have also had many vivid dreams during which I live another life as a native in a tropical region, possibly South America. I don't know what to make of it but the dreams have fantastical detail and some of the things that have happened in the dreams I have researched and found out were actual native traditions. I've speculated that this is a past life or something, but it could be anything really. Maybe someone else's memories are floating as energy in some dreamscape or some other fantastical speculation.
So that's my take. I don't know what it means or if it means anything, but my suspicion is that there is more to life than meets the eye. I think it's possible that science could explain everything if we had the right tools and knowledge; I don't think anything is "magic". But I do think there is still a lot we don't know.
I also think that spirituality is an important part of being a rounded human. If you lose touch with (for lack of a better word) your inner God, then you are less of a person. I have lived some periods of my life where I felt out of touch with my true purpose, and other times where I was doing what I feel like I was made to do and I felt vibrant and alive. I can't explain it really but it's how I feel.

A 23-year-old man from Gander is dead following a motor vehicle collision on the Trans-Canada Highway about two kilometres west of Charlottetown in the area of Terra Nova Park.
According to the RCMP, the man was driving west bound in a Honda Civic and it appears he crossed the centre line into the path of an east-bound transport-truck.
The driver of the car was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash and the 51-year-old transport-truck driver was taken to hospital for observation.
The crash occurred shortly after 4:30 a.m. and traffic was down to one lane in the area for several hours. The closed lane is now open, according to police.

Healthy Eating
You'll find that everyone you meet is an "expert" in your baby's nutrition. Remember: You know your baby best. Understanding these nutrition facts will help you respond to well-meaning advice:
Myth: You should place cereal in your baby's bottle—it's easier than with a spoon. Facts: Placing cereal in your baby's bottle is a choking hazard and makes it tempting to give him cereal before he's physically ready. And feeding him this way can increase the amount of food he takes in and lead to excessive weight gain. Feeding from a spoon is important to help your baby develop the oral skills needed to eat solid foods.
Myth: Pureed vegetables should be introduced before fruits. Facts: Truth is, it doesn't really matter. Some experts say your baby will be more likely to accept vegetables before you introduce sweeter-tasting fruits. But others say to introduce fruits first because your baby may accept them more willingly. Try whichever you think will work best for you and your baby.
Myth: Feeding your baby cereal will help him sleep through the night. Facts: Research doesn't back this one up. Your baby will sleep through the night only when he's developmentally ready and capable of comforting himself back to sleep.
