As ban on printed 3-D guns ends, extension sought
Tuesday - 11/19/2013, 10:51am EST
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- As the technology to print 3-D firearms advances, a federal law that banned the undetectable guns is about to expire.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer says he's seeking an extension of the law before it expires Dec. 9.
He said the technology of so-called 3-D printing has advanced to the point anyone with $1,000 and an Internet connection can access the plastic parts that can be fitted into a gun. Those firearms can't be detected by metal detectors or X-ray machines.
Schumer says that means anyone can download a gun cheaply, then take the weapons anywhere, including high-security areas.
The Democrat is pushing the extension along with Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Bill Nelson of Florida. The effort was announced Sunday.
The technology has recently advanced to create handguns capable of shooting several shots, rather than just one, before it ceases to function. Schumer also says the guns can now be made with all plastic parts, and no metal.
A blueprint for one such firearm was recently downloaded more than 100,000 times, Schumer says.
"We are looking at a world in which anyone with a little bit of cash can bring an undetectable gun that can fire multiple bullets anywhere -- including planes, government buildings, sporting events and schools," Schumer said. "3-D printers are a miraculous technology that have the potential to revolutionize manufacturing, but we need to make sure they are not being used to make deadly, undetectable weapons. "

Every bit as painful and debilitating, gout in the hands can set in deep and be very hard to remove unless you recognize the signs early and take action. As with the other joints of the body, the pain that comes with symptoms of gout in the hands is brought on by excess uric acid in the bloodstream.
Hand gout is not as common as big toe gout (podagra), but the wrist, hands and fingers are at risk. As with other joints, understanding that gout symptoms in the hands is an inner body condition of over-acidity. These gouty events are caused by the kidneys temporary inability to balance the pH of the body chemistry.
Gout 101
What is gout? What causes gout? Very simply, the root cause of gout in the hands, and every other joint, is poor kidney function. The actual pain is caused by uric acid crystallizing in a joint. When uric acid crystallizes it forms microscopic, needle-like crystals that resemble shards of glass; they embed themselves between the joints and in the connective tissues.
Uric acid is the by-product of the metabolism of purines. Purines are a chemical constituent of the cells of all animal and plant food sources. Also, purines are made in the cells of the body itself. In processing purines, uric acid is created and it is used by the body as a protective antioxidant.
When if it becomes excessive, it becomes a problem – not only for the painful episodes of gout, but also it can cause kidney stones and renal complications. This happens due to a gradual process of accumulation and a slow decline of the kidneys ability to deal with the fluctuations of body chemistry.
When symptoms of gout in the hands present themselves, it is the result of the alternate method the body has created to deal with the momentary over-load of uric acid.
Initial Signs of Gout in the Hands
Gout symptoms in the hands start with an odd "ache" or stiffness. Often the person experiencing the onset of the attack thinks that they must have sprained their wrist or fingers unknowingly.
To the uninitiated, this phase passes all too often without appropriate attention and uric acid slowly continues to crystallize.
Stiffness Sets In
Eventually, the gout occurrence in the hand or wrist starts to become stiff and lose mobility. At this point the constant ache has become alarmingly apparent and cannot be ignored.
Many people at this point reach for pain pills. This is logical but more often than not, the body chemistry is still continuing in the direction of over acidity. To interrupt the cycle of uric acid crystallizing the joint, the body chemistry needs to be reversed and brought up to a more alkaline level.
Increasing Inflammation
If left unchecked, swelling and inflammation set into the hand area and the pain intensifies. Another casualty of a gout attack in the hand is loss of work or income. Typing and the ability to grip or hold any kind of tool is greatly impaired.
Heat and Redness
If the process of alkalizing has not been implemented, extreme heat and redness accompany the massive pain and swelling. The heat generated by the joint can be astounding, and can cause generalized fever. The skin will turn bright red and shiny because it is stretched so tightly, and the whole hand can take on an appearance of a red balloon.
Remedies for Gout Symptoms in the Hands
There are number of ways to reverse the ravages of hand gout:
- The first course of action is to take advantage of a specific order, or FORMULA, of simple baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Done correctly, in most cases it can bring the intensity of the attack to a halt in a matter of just a few hours.
- Next, soak the hand/wrist in warm water with Epsom salts. This helps to neutralize the acidity in the tissues affected. Alternate soaks with icing – wrap icepacks in a towel and ice thoroughly.
- Take large doses of vitamin C. Studies have shown vitamin C helpful in reversing the effects of a gout attack because it is a powerful antioxidant. The brand "Emegen-C Lite with MSM" is an inexpensive choice.
- Eat fresh celery, apples, bananas, and cherries. These fruits help move acidity out at the cellular level, and assist in raising the pH up to more alkaline levels.
- And . . . Breathe. Long slow inhales through the nose, pause, long slow exhales out the mouth, pause – start over. The blood has too much uric acid in it – breathing in a focused and sustained manner, oxygenates the blood and reduces acidity.
Preventing Future Gout Attacks
Maintaining more alkaline body chemistry is the way to avoid gout symptoms in the hands after the current attack has been extinguished. While the viable methods vary, common to all of them is good breathing and blood oxygenation, consistent hydration, and a healthy diet of mostly alkaline-forming foods – fresh fruits and vegetables.
Avoiding all types of processed foods and fast foods is mandatory as they are one of the sure causes of gout.
The symptoms of gout in the hands have to be dealt with as soon as they present themselves.

This board has been around for 12 years now, getting better every version they come out with. It has become more efficient than ever now that they have added the titanium torsion forks. If you are about the best of the best this is it. Great for destroying the whole mountain everyday of the week.

Neil Magny had to have known he was basically walking into the lion's den.
Now he'll have to regroup following his first official loss in the UFC.
Magny (8-2, 1-1 UFC) was submitted Saturday by Sergio Moraes (8-2, 2-1 UFC) at the 3:13 mark of the first round at UFC 163 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
Heading into the pay-per-view card in Brazil, fighters from that country had built a staggering 36-9 record when fighting for the UFC against non-Brazilian opponents. Considering Magny's opponent is from Brazil and was the middleweight runner-up on the first season of "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil," he had a tough task ahead of him.
Magny worked to use his nine-inch reach advantage early against Moraes. But after the two felt each other out with jabs and kicks, Moraes was able to get inside with Magny.
Once there, he dragged him to the canvas, and that's when he went to work with his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt skills.
Moraes immediately landed in side control on top on the canvas and quickly mounted Magny. He was able to transition to a triangle choke attempt and had Magny in plenty of danger. When he moved around and kept the choke, but mounted Magny again, the fight was as good as over.
Magny was forced to tap from the mounted triangle, a relatively rare finish that has happened just four times previously in the UFC.
"I feel like I'm just beginning, but I'm off to a good start," Moraes said after the fight. "Now I have to train more, evolve more and make my striking coaches happy, too. I am determined to learn, I'm always evolving on my feet and on the ground. And the best part of winning is being able to do this in front of this crowd, always cheering and pushing me on."
Magny, a former student of Miguel Torres who now trains in Colorado at the acclaimed Grudge Training Center, lost for the first time in the UFC after winning his official debut against Jon Manley in December. That win followed his appearance on Season 16 of "The Ultimate Fighter," where he was a semifinalist – although the fights in the house don't count toward his official record.
The loss was Magny's first in more than two years.

The Indiana Pacers had no trouble destroying the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, claiming a 116-92 win. They had a more difficult time attempting to give teammate Paul George a wet willy during his post game interview though.
As George, fresh off a 31-point contest began his interview, Lance Stephenson and George Hill crept up behind the Pacers star.
Stevenson, with near pin-point accuracy zeroed in on George's ear and then like a flash of lightning, struck as George did his best to maintain his best interview face.
Attempting to move away, George was then met my the waddling finger of George Hill who attempted to give George a wet willy in his other ear.
Fearing a full blown attack, George decided to cover his ears for the remainder of the interview – probably his best move of the night.
Side note: What in the world was going on with George Hill's eyes? Dude looked like he was a mass ear murderer or something. Ironically enough, that's the same look I get on Thanksgiving when I see the food spread.

Doc Takes Residents
to Cooking School for
Meatless Monday ›
Dr. Robert Graham, Director of Integrative Health & Therapies at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, brought a fresh crop of medical residents to the Natural Gourmet Institute to teach them the fine art of cooking healthy, delicious—and meatless—meals.
It's a form of preventative medicine that can only be administered in the kitchen.
Dr. Robert Graham wants to ignite the next generation of doctors to eat healthy and live healthy. And to help, Chef Instructor Elliott Prag—who is a regular contributor to Vegetarian Times—was there.
It's part of a program called FareWellness, which is an initiative developed by Dr. Graham and Julie Graham, his wife. The program encourages not only healthy eating but also physical exercise and mental wellbeing through activities like yoga and meditation.
The hope is that through the FareWellness Program, not only will hospital doctors and staff reap the benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle but they will also inspire their patients to taking steps toward bettering their own health through paying more attention to diet and exercise.
Since its start in 1977, NGI has been inspiring people to realize good health through delicious food. This partnership with Lenox Hill Hospital brings their expertise to the medical community by giving doctors the tools to bring healthful cooking to their patients.
"We are honored to continue our partnership with Dr. Graham and Lenox Hill Hospital," says Anthony Fassio, CEO Natural Gourmet Institute. "With each class a new group of doctors is empowered to teach their patients about how a health-supportive diet can contribute to optimum health."
Eyes on Plant Protein
at Nutrition Conference ›
Last week, thousands of registered dietitians convened in Atlanta for the annual Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo held by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Meatless Monday's resident RD Diana Rice was in attendance and reports that the topic of plant-based eating was trendier than ever.
The conference kicked off with an educational session on the role of plant protein in disease prevention by renowned diet and lifestyle researchers Dr. Frank Hu of Harvard and Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton of Penn State. Our good friend Sharon Palmer later moderated a session on the latest research on the value of vegetarian and vegan diets, where Dr. Joan Sabate of Loma Linda University and Virginia Messina, RD (author of Vegan for Her) were featured speakers.
Plant-based eating was also a hot topic on the Expo floor. Sharon Palmer conducted a free signing of her book Plant Powered for Life at the booth of our friends at Tomato Wellness and Meatless Monday supporter Marcus Samuelsson made an appearance at the Canadian Lentils exhibit.
Registered dietitians also snapped up samples of plant-based dishes such as vegetarian chili from JTM Foods and vegan breakfast sausage from our friends at Neat. "It is extremely encouraging for us to observe the tremendous response that our line of innovative, all natural vegetarian foods received from registered dietitians and other professionals in the food and nutrition industry," said Phil Lapp, Neat's co-founder and CEO.
And because you won't meet a crowd of professionals more enthusiast about fruit and vegetable consumption, dietitians flocked to the conference's selfie stations, where they could declare their love for plant foods to the world (or at least, to their Twitter followers).
Dr. Bob Lawrence
Announces His Plans
for the Future ›
This month, Dr. Bob Lawrence, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) and an early champion of Meatless Monday, was honored at a symposium at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. He will be stepping down as CLF director after more than 18 years. As an emeritus faculty member, he will continue to teach, advise students, and work on food system problems.
Dr. Lawrence founded CLF in April 1996, with a mission to promote research and education about industrial food animal production or factory farming. CLF communicates information about diet, food production, the environment, and human health. As director, Dr. Lawrence ensured that CLF was not a mere think tank or an ivory tower, but a scientific resource for advocates seeking to reform the food system. CLF works with various communities, from policymakers at all levels, to urban and rural farmers, to low-income food shoppers. CLF provides technical assistance to and serves as the scientific advisor to the Meatless Monday campaign.
"To me," said Dr. Lawrence, "a livable future is when the resources available to support a healthy ecosystem are in balance with the resources needed by current and future generations. I'm driven by the concept of intergenerational equity-that our grandchildren and their grandchildren will have an opportunity for a decent life. That's going to mean dealing with everything from population pressure to climate change, inequitable income distributions, and alternatives to nonrenewable resources. That's a tall order and a very lofty mountain that we're all trying to climb, but the other options are really unthinkable."
Throughout Dr. Lawrence's distinguished career, he has served as a physician, an officer with the Epidemic Intelligence Service at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an associate dean at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and a co-founder of Physicians for Human Rights, which shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for its work to ban landmines.
The Monday Campaigns will continue to work with CLF to promote initiatives that aim to create awareness around public health.
Much of the research that supports our work comes from the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. So, from all of us here at the Monday Campaigns to our colleague and friend, thank you and best of luck as you start this new chapter.
It's Food Day All Week ›
Food Day is a nationwide celebration of healthy, affordable, and sustainably produced food. This year it will kick off with Meatless Monday on October 20th. Food Day is officially Friday, October 24th, but people will be celebrating all week throughout the United States. The grassroots organization estimates there will be over 7,500 events this week, from Meatless Monday gatherings to events celebrating locally sourced food.
Food Day aims to help people "Eat Real." That means, to prefer whole foods—like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—over processed foods, and to choose foods that are raised in a sustainable manner.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nonprofit consumer health advocacy organization, established Food Day to promote united by a vision of food that is healthy, affordable, and produced with care for the environment. CSPI focuses on the link between nutrition and health and on food safety. The organization—founded in 1971—is a key player in fighting obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other diet-related health problems, using tactics ranging from education to legislation to litigation.
CSPI has won a number of victories such as adding nutritional labels to fast food chain restaurant items, and ensuring that calling "low-fat" or "heart healthy" are descriptors that can only be used when the food items meet specific requirements established by the Food and Drug Administration.
You can find a local Food Day event here. Happy eating!
New Study Links
Red Meat with
Increased Mortality ›
According to a new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, red meat consumption—largely due to processed meat—has been linked to an increased mortality risk. Eating a lot of red meat may shave as much as two years off your life.
The study, which followed nearly 75,000 Swedes—both male and female, over a 15-year period—demonstrated that how much red meat you consume makes a difference in how long you live.
Participants answered a questionnaire about their eating habits, alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise, and other lifestyle choices. They also completed a 96-item red meat assessment that asked which types of red meat they've eaten in the past year and the frequency.
The mortality risk increased in the group of individuals consuming more than 100 grams (or 3.5 ounces) per day. Whereas study participants consuming less than 100 grams of red meat on a daily basis, maintained the same mortality risk as their cohort vegetarians.
In short, eat less meat and you might just live longer.
It's Columbus Day
& Meatless Monday ›
Christopher Columbus was looking for a better route for trading and procuring spices. In his attempt to find Asia, he instead found the Americas.
Though Columbus was probably not the first European explorer to reach the Americas, his voyages led to the first lasting European contact with the Americas, which—through a long strand of events and loose connections—put eggplant Parmesan on your plate (or maybe some other Italian dish like pizza Margherita).
Today Italian food has become a common, popular cuisine in America. And if you'd like to trace it back to 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, that's okay.
Back when Columbus was around the sailor diet was mostly cheese, rice, almonds, salted flour and salted meat—no fresh fruits or vegetables. And this meant Vitamin C deficiencies, which caused scurvy. This meant loose teeth and bulging eyes, to mention just a few of the symptoms.
Because fresh fruits and vegetables didn't travel well on long sea voyages, sailors eschewed them. Fortunately you don't have to tempt scurvy this Columbus Day.
And to help keep up the fight, here are a few Italian-inspired recipes to help you celebrate Columbus Day and Meatless Monday with pizzazz.
Mama's Italian Zucchini
This Italian-style zucchini dish features tomatoes, onion, garlic, and basil. It's a simple and hearty summer meal that will please most any pallet, even a child's. The recipe comes to us via our own Registered Dietitian, Diana Rice, posted at our Meatless Monday Prevention blog.
The Meatless Monday Pizza Collection
The Meatless Monday Pizza Collection is designed to help people rediscover the joy of homemade pizza, thanks to 10 colorful recipes from top cookbook authors.
Butternut Squash Pasta with Sage Mushrooms
Full with fall flavors of butternut squash and sage, this orecchiette pasta dish will provide a comforting, nutritious dinner for the whole family.
Earthbound Farm
& Meatless Monday
Cook Up Breakfast ›
Earthbound Farm and Meatless Monday have released an e-cookbook The Home Cook Breakfast Book which features delicious breakfast recipes that can be eaten for any meal. This recipe collection hails from eight Meatless Monday bloggers and home cooks who incorporated fresh and frozen Earthbound Farm fruits and vegetables into their Meatless Monday creations.
In August, we asked our 300 Meatless Monday bloggers to create recipes that featured a selection of fruits and veggies in fun, innovative breakfast recipes. Then, Meatless Monday registered dietitian Diana Rice carefully selected recipes from the many entries to select the winners. (Diana is also the one who calculates the nutrition information for each recipe.) With recipes like Quinoa Cereal with Pecans, Shakshouka with Rainbow Chard or Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie, you'll see how well healthy pairs with delicious.
Since their start in 1984, Earthbound Farm has been committed to sustainably growing organic fruits and vegetables—since long before "organic" became hip. Myra and Drew Goodman started Earthbound Farms on a 2.5-acre plot of land and now, 30 years later, Earthbound Farm is America's largest grower of organic produce.
This means that for 30 years Earthbound has been encouraging people to eat food that's good for them and good for the environment. And with The Home Cook Breakfast Book, you'll see there are eight more opportunities to cook and eat smart as well as to put fruits and vegetables at the center of the plate.
Happy 30th anniversary to Earthbound Farm!
Sarasota County
Schools Go
Meatless Monday ›
As of today, Sarasota County Schools will implement Meatless Monday.This means 52 school cafeterias will forgo the meat and instead offer lunches like hummus and vegetable subs, veggie pasta bake and veggie taco salad.
So 42,000 Florida students will be afforded the opportunity to eat better and to learn about the health and environmental benefits of reducing the meat in ones diet. And schools are partnering with local chefs to make sure the food is tasty and delicious—they'll have to—because 70% of kids must approve of the dishes in order for them to stay on the menu. Schools are also aiming to source 50% of their produce from local farms, which is a more environmentally sustainable practice and it's great for the local economy.
The Sarasota County School District is not unfamiliar with healthy eating. The district runs the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program and they also use a green-yellow-and-red color system to indicate which foods are the most nutrient-dense so students and faculty to can make healthy choices at the school cafeteria.
Two important figures in championing health school lunches are Beverly Girard, director of food and nutritional services at Sarasota County Schools, and Karla Dumas, Area Supervisor/Buyer at the School Board of Sarasota County. And Karla was kind enough to answer a few questions we put to her.
Meatless Monday: What made you decide to launch the Meatless Monday Program—who were the advocates?
Karla Dumas: In Sarasota County, we strive to provide a variety of food choices and saw this as an opportunity to showcase meals with meat-free protein sources such as cheese, eggs, peanut butter, and legumes. The feedback we receive from student focus groups at many of our schools is to offer more meat-free options. For many years, Sarasota County has provided vegetarian and vegan entrée choices and this is simply a different way to highlight these choices.
The Meatless Monday initiative was brought to Sarasota County Schools by Kristie Middleton (with the Humane Society) and as a department we felt this would be a great way to highlight the non-meat options we already offer. Ultimately, the decision to participate in Meatless Monday was based on student requests.
MM: How was the menu developed?
KD: Our Food and Nutrition Services department has a menu committee comprised of our 8 registered dietitians on staff along with 8-10 of our school based Managers. We base our menus off of the previous year and make changes to incorporate new recipes and products along with seasonal items. Our district has a strong focus on offering as much local products as possible and this influences the menu as well. The Meatless Monday options are products and recipes our district already regularly offers and we simply moved them to Monday. As I mentioned in the first question, several years ago, we offered non-meat entrees daily and created many recipes for this purpose.
MM: Can you speak about efforts to use local area produce?
KD: Our Director, Dr. Beverly Girard, has always worked to bring in as much local food items as possible. Sarasota County was one of the first districts to have a stand-alone "Farm Fresh" produce bid, specific to local produce. Last year, our Food & Nutrition Services was awarded a large Farm to School grant to expand upon our program. We are currently bringing in local milk, eggs, orange juice and a variety of local fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Our ultimate goal is to have 50% of our produce offered to be from a local source.
The Meatless Monday campaign is scheduled to run the remainder of the school year. But hopefully the students will carry on the Meatless Monday campaign at home throughout the summer.

The With or Without
Meat Cookbook
By Jackie Newgent ›
In the With or Without Meat Cookbook there are two sides to every recipe—veggies up for Meatless Monday, meat up for another day. But either way you flip it this cookbook is a healthy, whole food, flavor-forward collection compiled with the diabetic in mind. Though you need not be diabetic to enjoy what this collection has to offer.
Jackie Newgent, RDN, CDN is a classically trained chef, a dietitian, a television personality, and a Meatless Monday friend and now she's delivered a book that could possibly answer that age-old question "how does a vegetarian date a meat eater?" Or—for you—maybe she's just answered the question "how can I maintain a health-conscious, flexitarian lifestyle and keep it delicious?"
Each recipe offers first a vegetarian take and then a meat-fish-or-poultry add-in—so indecision need not prevent you from opening the book to the Tarragon White Bean Salad. Nor should different dietary wants demand that you make two separate dishes to please both the veg and the meat eater.
The cookbook features 125 recipes, largely in the style of the Mediterranean diet. The recipes put fruits and vegetables forward, limit unhealthy fats, and prefer whole grains. It's nutrition that promotes your cardiovascular health and your overall health. The books is especially great for those with diabetes, pre-diabetes, heart-health issues, or really for anyone simply looking to improve their diet.
This flexitarian approach to eating provides the best of both worlds. Each recipe includes nutrition information and follows the American Diabetic Association's nutritional guidelines. And, The With or Without Meat Cookbook has a familiar, friendly tone that makes it feel more like a conversation than a numbered list of instruction.
Check out the Red Onion Soup with Shiitake Broth recipe from the With or Without Meat Cookbook.

The objectively best things that have ever been on the Web
I've thought about it a lot and these are the best things that have ever been on the Web in order and this list is objective not subjective so fuck you.
1. The Britt and Tiff posts to Craigslist Missed connections in 2001.
(And if you have any idea what I'm talking about without googling the internet archive you are a Master Mason and I will love you unconditionally regardless of anything else, yum-yum.) And look, okay, these aren't in and of themselves that funny. I know. Reading them now you're like, wut? But you have to look at them in their place and time. Craig and his list used to just be a local san franciscoy/ay area thing. Local people went to CL missed connections for the same reasons people read them in alt weeklies: they were desperately bad. But unlike your local Wednesday streetcarpet, CL offered the chance to reply troll. And so people did. But Britt and Tiff took that next level, and instead of just snarkily replying to people (the norm) started using CL for narratives. And more to the point, she/they/he/whoever just used the board to post whatever they wanted. Craigslist was whatever they wanted it to be. If you ever read the best of craigslist, it was because of the pioneering work of Britt and Tiff. Or maybe I'm overstating things. Because in fairness, it was really dumb. So anyway, eat shit if you don't like Britt and Tiff.
2. Filepile
3. Mahir. But only the very first original xoom.com site, or whatever was before that, before he had his own domain or email address or any of that other mersh bullshit.
4. That Autotune the News with Joe Biden where he sings you've got to believe.
5. Mike Monteiro's twitter from 2008-2011
6. All Your Base
7. There was probably something on 4chan I missed. Fuck it. Let's just say 4chan.
8. The Ben Brown video about how Metafilter makes you smarter and more angry
9. Suck.com, Feed Magazine, and The Finger, which were all actually the same thing but they didn't realize it which is why they're gone. (And shut up, just shut up, about Plastic.)
Paul Ford Choire Sicha
11. The XKCD about someone being wrong on the Internet
12. The entire trapped in a closet series
13. Kottke.org
14. The ipad
15. Ready Steadman Go
16. The Internet vs. research paper cartoon
17. Brunching Shuttlecocks
18. keyboard cat
19. That long post Kanye wrote that time he rage quit the Internet
20. That time Gizmodo turned off all the TVs at CES.
21. Some fat kid
22. We're all fat kids
UPDATED: I almost forgot. 23. BArack Obame is your new Bicycle. (eat me)
OOOOOOOOOPS: I left off number 25, Anil Dash's Prince obsession (please stop cyber bullying me)

Nov. 12 Kevin Anderson, National TU program coordinator, on "The History and Status of the Birch Run Project," Conococheague Creek, PA.
Meetings start with social time at 7:15p, and the programs begin at 8:00p. See "Meetings" page for more information.
The National Capital Chapter of Trout Unlimited (NCC-TU) is a non-profit organization
established to protect, enhance, and restore coldwater fishing resources of North America,
particularly those in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Each Spring, the Chapter publishes email reports on the status of the shad run in the area, particular as it develops on the Potomac River at Fletcher's Cove in DC.
These reports are emailed only to those requesting them. If you wish to receive these reports and did NOT receive them last year, send an email from the address you want us to use to email@example.com
with "SHAD" in the subject line.
You are already subscribed if you received these reports in 2014; no need to re-subscribe in 2015. Nine reports were emailed to subscribers this year, the last dated May 27, 2014.
The Board of the National Capital Chapter of Trout Unlimited will not produce the National Capital Angling Show in 2015. We decided that the Show was no longer worth the effort expended to produce it, and concluded that the 39th Annual Show in March 2014 should be the last one for now.
The National Capital Angling Show was a tribute to all who participated. For 39 years, it served the needs of angling professionals, vendors, non-profit conservation groups and the public in the Mid-Atlantic region. It was recognized as the best place to meet and learn from the leaders in the fly-fishing world. And it generated substantial funds that we disbursed to non-profit conservation and fishing education groups. The National Capital Angling Show had a long and successful run.
But the Show finally reached its limits and the future was not bright. Over the last several years there was a steady decline in sponsorship, vendor participation, and attendance. While the show was not losing money, it was barely breaking even. This represented a real loss of funds that would otherwise be available to support regional conservation projects and organizations. And it represented an enormous contribution of time and effort by Chapter members, which could not be used to support other activities.
We are committing NCC-TU to the immediate needs of our own members, with more activities to improve fishing education, conservation projects, and youth activities. 2014-2015 will be an exciting year as we set new priorities and create new events for the enjoyment of our members.

Lesson Background: My students completed a persuasive writing unit earlier in the year. They focused on the elements of persuasion and how to write for a specific audience through letter writing and a problem solution essay. The majority of the persuasive unit was teacher directed and did not include enough student choice and independent work. Luckily, I found time in this quarter to be able to create podcasts to give them more options.
Summary of Lesson: The students were assigned a persuasive podcast to demonstrate their ability to persuade an audience using specific facts and new technology. My class is predominately ESL, and the majority of those students are fairly new to English. They began the project by selecting an issue at YIS Yangon International School) that they could explain through data collection and statistical information. For example, one issues a student chose was the overuse of paper towels when students wash their hands. They had to identify a specific audience and tailor their podcast to this group. They created methods of data collection, selected statistics they would need and wrote their script. Throughout the beginning of this process they listened to podcasts on a variety of topics to a get sense of this unique medium. At the end of the unit, they will play their podcasts for their intended audience as well as post them on my class blog. They will evaluate their own learning to examine how effective their podcast was and how they could alter in the future.

I am still battling with this damn Firmware upgrade. in your last reply to me you suggested the following :

"Go into settings / about phone / system updates / and it will tell you whether an update is available for your phone"  for update information. When i go into the about phone, 'system updates' is not even available. should i conclude then my service provider has blocked all updates. I am in South Africa and the service provider is MTN.

You also suggested the following :

2. Root your device and install an Android 2.1 or 2.2 ROM onto it, that way you are in control of when you want to update your phone.

i am really scared to root my device if there is a chance i can brick it. Is there a dummy guide to rooting these phones and what are the chances that i will end up bricking it

----

I am having another problem and this is why i want to desperately upgrade from v1.5. I no longer seem to be able to download anything from Appbrain or the Market. I keep getting 'Download Unsuccessful' messages .... this is getting really frustrating.

Do you have any idea what the issue could be or is v1.5 just no longer supported ????

I have just got my HTC Hero and am really enjoying it. I find something new about it every day. I have heard about "rooting" your phone in these forums and in some apps in the market. I get what you guys have said here about a super user etc. How do you go about "rooting" your phone, and how much damage can you actually do? There are some apps i would like to try out like "auto memory manager" which requires "rooting", but i am scared i may wreck the phone.  Mike Romersa 2010-04-23T05:58:37Z

World Superbike race preview for Salt Lake
The Hannspree FIM Superbike World Championship heads for the USA this weekend for the seventh round, which takes place close to Salt Lake City in the state of Utah. The venue is the Miller Motorsports Park, about half an hour away from the state capital, on the Interstate highway road that leads to the famous Bonneville Salt Flats.
Spies grabs sixth Superbike Superpole in Kyalami
Ben Spies (Yamaha World Superbike) powered to his sixth successive Superpole triumph at the Kyalami circuit in South Africa, equaling the long-standing record set by his fellow Texan Doug Polen (Ducati) in 1991. The session at Kyalami was one of the most exciting seen so far this season, with a two-way battle between the two Monza winners, Spies and Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox).
BMW World Superbike Team previews Kyalami, South Africa
Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport rider Troy Corser will not be travelling with the team and racing in Kyalami this coming weekend. The Aussie took a severe battering in two hard crashes in Monza last weekend and it was felt that it would be better for him to give the South African round a miss and get fully fit for the USA round at the end of the month.

MotoGP Looks Back on Memories Since 1949 Inception
700th Premier Class race milestone to be celebrated in Japan.
This weekend's Polini Grand Prix of Japan marks the 700th premier class Grand Prix in the history of the World Championship. Since the first round, many changes in cylinder class, tyre regulations and even starting times have been used, some of which are documented in a milestone review of the 699 races to date.
June 1949, Race #1: Great Britain IOM TT – The first 500cc GP is won by Harold Daniell riding a factory Norton.
2007 Ducati 1098 | Motorcycle Test
South Africa, Ducati, and Troy Bayliss. Great motorcycle expectations, indeed. The thing about expectations-they generally end up being either satisfied or disappointed, but rarely exceeded. But occasionally, if you are fortunate, expectations will be not only brilliantly surprised but also beautifully surpassed.
One of the surprises was South Africa. Ducati chose Kyalami Race Track located in the suburbs north of Johannesburg in the Gauteng province of South Africa for the official introduction of its new 1098 superbike.
2008 Kawasaki KLX450R | Motorcycle Test
Manufacturers generally select premium locations and luxury accommodations when it comes time to introduce their newest addition to their line. We may travel to Monza in Italy, the Baviaanskloof in South Africa, the rain forest of Costa Rica, which is all well and good. Imagine my surprise when Kawasaki took me to the mile marker 11.5 on desolate Arizona state highway 74 in the Sonora Desert, up against the foothills of the Hieroglyphic Mountains. There, circled well-worn travel trailers awaited, which would be home for the duration.
South Africa | Motorcycle Adventure
Canadian Thomas Bain was a prolific road builder. In the waning years of the 19th century he designed and constructed an extensive labyrinth of dirt roads opening South Africa's vast interior to the primary mode of transport of the day—the ox wagon. Among the 24 significant routes he created, there is one that stands as his magnum opus. That road was destined to become one of his last, most assuredly the longest, and arguably the most famous.

Louise Redknapp: Simple Black, Slicked Back At The Glamour Awards
Mrs Jamie Redknapp. As every press opp's best friend, we should've never doubted you. But we did, because you wore this, this and THAT recently.
By now, you've collected enough paychecks to know how to work a camera lens, we realise. Throughout your style trials and tribulations, however, we've fostered a weird (we) love (you)/(we) hate (your outfit) relationship with your red carpet looks. Some are winners, most have been suckers.
This time it's different, though. This time, we're turning over a new leaf with you and agree on your K.I.S.S.* approach to dressing. We also approve of your brunette 'do and wish to handsomely reward whoever cooked that idea up with a round of silent golf claps. Soz, it's all we can afford right now.
Overall, we love the head-to-toe ensemble you wore to last night's Glamour Awards. Don't get too excited, hon, because we're only a team a six and most pay no mind to our musings. In order for your victory lap to commence, you'll have to wait on our readers' sometimes ruthless verdicts. (Here's a tip: try spreading the hot husband wealth and you may be able to encourage them to have a fashionable change of heart as well.)

Crohn's Disease Health Center
The 5 Types of Crohn's Disease
What causes Crohn's disease?
The cause of Crohn's disease is unknown. It is likely that Crohn's is at least partially an inherited disease that causes an abnormal response of the immune system in the gastrointestinal tract.
Recently, the first gene associated with Crohn's disease was identified. This gene is called the NOD2 or CARD15 gene. Abnormalities in this gene are found in up to one out of every five patients with Crohn's disease. Since then, at least 104 different genetic abnormalities have been shown to be associated with Crohn's disease.
People who have a relative with Crohn's disease are 10 times more likely to develop the disease themselves. If the affected relative is a sibling, the risk jumps to 30 times more likely to develop Crohn's disease. Jewish people of European descent also have a greater risk for developing Crohn's disease.
How is Crohn's disease treated?
Treatment for Crohn's disease depends on the type and how severe the disease is. Because the disease can sometimes go into remission on its own, it is not always possible to determine whether a specific treatment has been effective. When Crohn's disease is active, treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms, controlling inflammation, and correcting nutritional deficiencies.
Medications are generally the first step in treating Crohn's disease. Some of these medications include anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, corticosteroids, antidiarrheals, and immune-suppressing medications. For those patients experiencing nutritional deficiencies, supplements are often prescribed.
Even though surgery cannot cure Crohn's disease, it is sometimes needed for patients whose symptoms do not respond to medications. Surgery can be performed to correct perforations, blockages, or bleeding in the intestine. Unfortunately, Crohn's disease often returns to the area next to where the inflamed part was removed. It is therefore important that you discuss with your doctor all possible options before deciding upon surgery.
What can I do to manage Crohn's disease?
In managing Crohn's disease, it is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This is important even when the disease goes into remission for long periods of time. You can maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet. Abstaining from smoking can also help prevent symptoms from recurring. Studies have shown that smokers are at a higher risk of developing Crohn's disease than nonsmokers, and the smokers with Crohn's tend to have a more severe course than nonsmokers with Crohn's. People with Crohn's disease are usually able to lead healthy and active lifestyles.
Like many other disorders, understanding and being educated about Crohn's disease are the most important tools with which to manage it and prevent complications. The following organizations can provide more information about Crohn's disease:

Snapshot Find: After attending a full day bodhi meditation at a centre of approximately a hundred people, I found amazing beautiful sri yantras mounted on the back wall! Such a beauty to see the years of experience, skill, and dedication shared in a sacred piece of work.
My apologies all for the delay in posts! Adjusting to new job and new connections so I'm getting back on track to expand this community!
Project: Chapter Covers for Universal Conscious Self Book
This chapter cover belongs to the topic on Awareness. All chapter covers were originally created in black and white but I decided to do another version and see how it looked like with a splash of color. These forms are a mix of mandalas and sacred geometry.

Sketching Session: Drawing A Perfect Pentagon With 3 Circles
For those who prefer pencil to paper, there is a way to draw a pentagon. I love the idea how magic can come out of 3 simple circles. Now imagine drawing a myriad of pentagons and coloring it to whatever suits our fancy. All angled degrees sum up to 9 along with some notes on how the earth, sun, and moon's diameter also add up to 9. (Not so much a coincidence, don't you think?)
This was done at a past workshop with Ari, an awesome teacher. If you're in the Vancouver, BC area, check out his upcoming workshops and among other fascinating things: The Traveling Alchemists.
Snapshot Find: Mural Art inside Origins Parkour Facility
What sacred geometry shapes do you see? On the way to drop off my nephew to his parkour lesson, I immediately stumbled across the left side of the gym and its vast art work from floor to ceiling. Then it struck my amazement that the flower of life and merkaba happened to be painted into this masterpiece. For someone to incorporate that into their work, thumbs up :)
Gift Find: The Gem Star Merkaba Suncatcher/Pendulum
This star tetrahedron makes a great gift for any occasion. I remember buying one for a friend who loves the merkaba. When the gift arrived, I haven't noticed a tag attached to it saying the piece was activated in Sedona, Arizona. That's even more amazing cos not only does it share light to others but it carries a special energy vortexes from that place. Great for meditations.
Visual Meditation: Raise Your Vibrational Frequency To Higher Consciousness Video
A short open-eyed meditation video where one meditates on harmonious visual forms such as sacred geometry. This one in particular focuses on raising your vibrational frequencies. Many of the common sacred geometric forms in this video are being used to aid the process. As of now, more than 1 million viewers witnessed its awesomeness. Something seems to be working!
What visual meditations on sacred geometry have helped you?
Project: Chapter Covers for Universal Conscious Self Book
A sacred geometric pattern I designed for our newly published book: Universal Conscious Self written by Teza Zialcita and published by Balboa Press. This is one of the four patterns for the book serving its purpose to provide visual healing beyond its aesthetic value.
For the 2013 Body Soul Spirit Expo event in Vancouver, each pattern was extracted from the book and printed into mini cards along with a single word affirmation to amplify its meaning. For this image, the word "awakening" was extracted from one of the words derived from the book's first chapter title. This was to promote the book (still in process of delivery) as a way to prepare potential readers for its arrival.
