Late October can be a telling time of year when it comes to gaging your child's social/emotional health and personality this school year.
Today's generation of teens seem to be following a disturbing trend — the thinner your are, the more you'll fit in.
Halloween used to be a much more kid-centric holiday, all about carving pumpkins and making cute homemade costumes, and maybe a spooky scarecrow (EEK!).
You've likely heard the word "parabens" and "pthalates" at one point or another, but probably never gave much thought to what they actually mean.
October is Nationall Bullying Prevention Month, and we've complied a list of great children's books
Dave Brady writes about budgeting, money management, and family activities.
Ahhhh, pumping breastmilk at work....one of the less joyful parts of becoming a new mom.
We know you're busy with all things back-to-school, but if you can find the time, fall is a great season for getting cozy with a good book.
"Was homework always this hard?" That's the question many moms and dads are asking as they settle into the new school year and face the new Common Core standards.

Blue Ribbon Recipes ~ Vine-Ripe Golden Tomato Marmalade
This delicious golden marmalade is an excellent accompaniment to any main course, from lamb chops to chicken to roast pork. This is not a heavily sugared marmalade and should be refrigerated to maintain its freshness.
Vine-Ripe Golden Tomato Marmalade
6 pounds ripe yellow tomatoes
1 pound sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 star anise
3 cloves
With a sharp knife, score the skin of the tomatoes in an X on the blossom end. Place in boiling water for 15 to 20 seconds. (This may be done in batches) Plunge the tomatoes into a large bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process. Slip the peel off and remove any hard cores. Cut in half and squeeze out the seeds.
In a deep pot, combine the peeled tomatoes with the sugar, cinnamon, star anise, and cloves. Bring to a rolling boil then lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the tomatoes are falling apart and beginning to thicken. (This may take more time, depending upon the water content of the tomatoes.) Watch carefully to avoid scorching and stir often. Remove from heat when consistency is similar to a thick jam. Discard the cinnamon, star anise, and cloves. Store in airtight jars, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 weeks or water-bath. Makes about 7 cups.

Source: eBay
Category: Furniture & Furnishings
This is an Antique Mahogany and Brass Zanzibar Chest. This is an amazing piece of craftsmanship in amazing shape! This chest is from the island of Zanzibar , (I shipped 3 from Tanzania ). This one has been sitting in my garage for years and it is time for someone to enjoy this beautiful yet functional piece of art. It will bring any room alive. It has some amazing details. This is a hand carved chest, only a few master craftsmen in the world could make such a chest (the attention to detail is unbelievable, t are even hidden compartments). If you were to travel to Zanzibar a chest this size will cost a few thousand dollars. The chest is heavy and weighs 100 lbs. It's a bit over 3 ½ feet long, 2 feet tall and almost 2 feet wide. I still don't know how old it is, the person who sold it to me didn't know all he could tell me was "old". I looked around and would guess it is not more than 75 years old given the great condition it is in but I could be wrong it could be older. The pictures speak for themselves. If you have any questions, want additional information or want to see additional pictures please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. No reserve, so someone will get an amazing deal. Good luck bidding.

Amaranth Recipe for Porridge with NuNaturals Vanilla
According to the Urban Dictionary, a "foodie" is "One who appreciates good cuisine, or just eats to do damn much."
I believe I qualify as a foodie, but I would also add, "Someone who is willing to try new foods with abandon." An example being this amaranth recipe for porridge.
Chopped Salad with Pork, White Beans, Avocado and Cajun Lime Dressing
I don't know about you, but when I roast a pork loin, or bake pork chops, I always have leftover meat. Most likely I find myself in this situation because I'm always ready to cook for a crowd, and now I'm cooking for two.
But that's okay, there's no such thing as wasting food in this house. I can always put leftovers to good use.
Recipe: Beef and Mushrooms in Rosemary Sauce Over Spaghetti Squash
If you're skipping wheat and gluten these days and looking for an alternative to pasta, spaghetti squash probably isn't for you.
Especially if you're a pasta lover.
While I realize many a person might differ with me, I just can't find the correlation between this stringy squash, and those tender pasta noodles swimming in a garlicky tomato sauce.
Recipe: Roasted Broccolette and Cod with Orange Chili Hoisin Sauce
Do you remember the broccolette I bought at Costco a few weeks ago to serve with this chicken in a lemony thyme sauce?
We liked that broccoli so much, we decided to dish it up with meaty chunks of cod, and lacking the energy for a multiple pan meal determined a roast in the oven was the way to go.
Mediterranean Asparagus Salad with Baby Kale, Sun Dried Tomato, and Avocado
I'm sorry to see summer come to an end. Here in Seattle, we've had an amazing run of glorious sun. If you're a Seattleite, you know summers like this are few and far between.

Easy Quinoa Pasta with Roasted Vegetables in a Lemony Sauce
As far as I'm concerned a pasta recipe should have fresh flavor without a lot of fuss.
Every so often, I pick up a box of quinoa pasta (I prefer Ancient Harvest), and make my version of the perfect healthy meal – no heavy sauces, and light on the cheese.
Pork Roast and Brussels Sprouts with Ball's Jelly Maker Sweet Apple Jelly Glaze
Do you recall my Ball Canning Supplies giveaway a few weeks ago?
If not, let me quickly recap. Kelsey sent a generous box of canning supplies provided by Ball for me to create my own canning creations, and some to giveaway. In the box was a jelly maker, jars and cookbooks. Not to mention labels and pectin.
What a wonderful gift, but what was this novice canner going to do with all this canning equipment? Call Grandma and ask her to teach me how to use it!
Meatless Monday Black Beans and Quinoa Veggie Burgers with Peach Salsa
Have you heard of Meatless Mondays?
Meatless Monday has been around since approximately 2003, and was started as a way to improve your health by abstaining from meat for a day. The idea was to help reduce your risk of cancer, heart problems and obesity, at the same time you would also be supporting our environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
Sounds like a good thing to me and these veggie burgers fit this theme perfectly.
Chicken and Tofu Stir Fry with a Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce
As far as I'm concerned, the sauce is the best part of any stir fry recipe.
I want a spicy sauce in every nook and cranny of my chicken and vegetables when I pick them up with my fork. What's more, if there's a nutty brown rice served on the side, there'd better be enough sauce to drip over the top.

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) - The state of the Buffalo Public Schools has been in the spotlight for the past three-months, with the embattled Superintendent, Dr. James Williams, at the center of most of the debate.
Just last week, Dr. Williams announced his retirement, citing that his home is in Maryland and that his kids are now out of school as reasons for leaving.
Williams appeared on WBEN's Hardline Sunday morning to discuss his retirement and the struggles of the Buffalo Public School system.
But despite his impending departure, Buffalo businessman and school activist Carl Paladino says Williams can't go soon enough.
"Why would you keep a guy like that around? Other than to cover up the fraud and abuse," said Paladino.
In a letter issued to the Board of Education and the State Board of Regents and State Legislature, Paladino calls for the immediate termination of Williams, saying the superintendent is incompetent, while also calling out the Buffalo Board of Education, saying:
"Even one more day of incompetent leadership is an eternity for the children who have been denied an education and the opportunity for a fulfilling life by a corrupt education cabal."
Read the entire letter here.
Williams said he was not aware of the letter, adding, "I don't read anything that Carl Paladino writes or puts out. I don't read anything because it doesn't concern me."
Paladino went on to release his Road-map to Reform the Public Schools, calling for things such as rescinding the dated Taylor Law, calling for more charter schools and for an appointed board of education.
Paladino also advocates for the use of vouchers and tax credits to allow for disadvantaged families to send their children to private and catholic schools.
And even though Williams and Paladino share a rough relationship, the pair do seem agree on the idea of boarding schools.
"I started talking about that three years ago. What has he done? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing at all," said Paladino.

"I Can't Make You Love Me" is a song I recently re-discovered when Adele and Bon Iver began covering it.
Bonnie Raitt — who will be performing at Red Butte Garden on Tuesday and Wednesday — first performed the song for her "Luck of the Draw" album, and it was written by MIke Rein and Allen Shamblin. Raitt reportedly sang only one take because she got so emotional, and believed she would never be able to summon that intensity again.
I prefer Adele's version, but here is Bonnie's first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW9Cu6GYqxo

Winows 7
"Disk Boot Failure"
Just double-checking with you folks.
Before leaving for work this morning, I decided to take a couple of minutes to look in the BIOS of my newly-built computer. I haven't yet installed Windows 7--I'll do that tonight.
When I first turned on the machine, I got the notice about changing from IDE to AHCI. I did that. But before I had a chance to hit DEL and enter into the BIOS screens, the computer continued "booting". I got the notice of "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk & Press Enter". At that point I had to turn the computer off and head for work.
I'm assuming that the reason I got the message was because I hadn't yet changed the boot order and hadn't yet placed the Windows 7 DVD into the DVD drive. Correct? If not, is there another problem?

Self promotional D&AD project finished!
CD cover ideas for wild fevers.
(Sorry for the bad quality)
This is a project I did when I was at college studying BND Art & Design.
We were given a quote as a starting point which we had to experiment with to create a final piece. The quote was 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'. With this I started writing it out, photocopying it and collaging it to distorting it. I decided to create a CD cover for a band 'The thing', and this is the outcome.

Flower deliveries make this an enjoyable Christmas
(Editor's Note: This was emailed from Scotland on Dec. 21.)
Well folks - just four days to go before the big one!
I hope you've all got all of your Christmas shopping done and there'll be no last-minute panic buying necessary when you realise you've left Great Aunt Mathilda off the present list!
My wife and I decided to try and get all of our shopping done last weekend and to try to do it locally. We actually managed, finding plenty of great gift ideas in the small local shops in our home town of Kelso.
Last year we travelled up to Edinburgh, staying overnight in a hotel and doing all our shopping in Scotland's historic capital.
That was great fun, but this year we opted to stay at home, although originally more from circumstances than choice.
With Ally now having taken over the flower shop with her business partner, they are entering the busiest time of a florist's year and there's not much down time to go swanning off to the big city.
This week alone they will produce 500 hollywreaths for doors and cemeteries.
Not sure if you have followed that tradition in the USA?
Here people hang wreaths of holly and evergreen foliage, usually decorated with cinnamon sticks and red berries on their front doors.
More simple and plain holly wreaths are also often left on the graves of loved ones in our cemeteries.
There will also be a huge number of bouquets and floral arrangements produced by the staff in their small shop while myself and the other husbands/partners/boyfriends will get roped into acting as emergency unpaid relief delivery drivers!
In fact, over the last couple of weekends I have been called in to do a few deliveries as the new van was not ready yet.
However, I have to say there has been something nice about knocking on someone's door and seeing the look on their face when they see a massive bouquet of beautiful flowers.
That's especially true when it is someone a bit more elderly, who perhaps lives on their own.
And I am looking forward to it this weekend, because there will be a real Christmasy feel to the whole thing.
I don't know what it's like in the United States, but over here Christmas is very commercialised with retailers and manufacturers assaulting you with their adverts from as early as the end of November.
It is easy to lose sight of the Christmas message and what it's really all about.
Of course, it's partly about celebrating with your family, tucking in to a big meal and giving each other gifts.
But there's also the message of extending good wishes and happiness to your fellow man.
Being able to do something for a complete stranger always seems to carry an extra special significance at Christmas time.
Everyone loves to feel that warmth like the kind depicted in Frank Capra's Christmas classic, "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.
So it might just be that a few flower deliveries will make this one of the most enjoyable Christmases for a while.

- Istanbul Turkey Why you will love this city!
(disclaimer: I am only referring to men I met in the touristy areas. I met some wonderful Turkish men outside of the touristy areas that I will not include in this post:)
Before I went to Istanbul many people warned me that Turkish men love black women. Be careful they said. It was confirmed. Many men came up to me specifically to let me know that they loved African women. lol I've had really interesting experiences in Italy and Istanbul was no different. I think that in any country, men like new, unique, exotic looks. Yes it can be a great confidence builder when random men propose to you in the streets in front of alot of people! (happened to me last year in Venice,Italy) But, I also believe that at the core of men, they are all looking for the same thing, cross culturally.. It's their different approaches that makes travelling solo as a woman so fascinating and sometimes challenging.
EVERYONE KEPT ASKING ME WHY I DIDN'T HAVE A TURKISH BOYFRIEND YET… DAY 1 and 2. I was trying really really hard NOT to come back to the U.S with a Turkish boyfriend!
I think as a seasoned traveler I come with a wealth of common sense and experiences that I picked up along the way. In Istanbul I could definitely see how a young inexperienced naive girl could get into a lot of trouble. When I was alone in the touristy areas I ran into all sorts of charming, passionate, witty, Turkish seducers. These were beautiful men! They don't just come up to you and ask you for their number. I had men coming up to me, reciting poetry, making me laugh, telling me how painfully beautiful I was, bowing to me, yearning for me, just doing the most romantic things you read of in books and say.. "That doesn't happen in Chicago". The passion was overwhelming. Half of them swear they fell in love at first sight. I had one guy who was so insistent and said such beautiful things to me and made such a show in the street that people stopped to look. At the end after my insistence that I had to go he invited me to his restaurant and said " Be careful out there, there are a lot of bad men out there who will try to talk to you….just be very very careful…until you see me again". I started cracking up as I walked away. He was so truthful:) Its all part of the fun, just be careful.
Otherwise, I also met many very respectful men. Who were very very sweet. Gentlemanly.. I had people pay for my lunch, free dinners at restaurants, give me extra Turkish delights, buy me coffee, open my doors, hail me taxi's, let me skip lines,give me their wifi codes!!, give me directions by taking me.. I had one guy that I met on the ferry, basically carry all my luggage and help me find my friends house and it was 30 minutes out of his way… Just really, really nice men. I learned a lot from these men. They may have approached me because of an initial attraction, but when we would speak, they realized that I was a lot deeper than my looks. I was always able to receive and share valuable information. Countless deep conversations about their lives, philosophy, money, religion, politics. I learned so much about Muslim religion! Very valuable conversations for me.
Words of Advice:
First it starts with the stare… be ready for the stares. When I was in Vienna I let the stares get to me but now I'm used to them. People stare and men stare especially hard. In Istanbul there is no difference. I got onto the ferry and I really am not joking when I say that every person I could see on that ferry was staring at me, for the whole 15 minute ride…It sounds egotistical I know but trust me…People stare that openly when you happen to be the only black person in a 10 maybe 50 mile radius.
American ways/British ways : I think as Americans/British:we are too polite. I always have to remind myself of this when I am in a new city, but old habits die hard. For those that know me, I paid a lot of money for my smile and I smile a lot. Unfortunately in some countries smiling is an invitation even as you say no. By the end of my first night alone I had reminders on why I shouldn't smile too much, but sometimes growl in tourist sections. Men were following me…trying to sell me something or take me to their stores…no matter how much I said no. I realized I was being way too polite. When men would approach me to get my number or tell me I was beautiful…same principle. When you smile and say no I don't want your number you might be sending mixed messages.
Well that's it for now….share with me what you think!!!? Comment below.

Huge Viruses Are Shaking Up The Tree of Life
Pandoraviruses are challenging some long-held biological beliefs. These newly-discovered beasts are larger, in size and in genetic complexity, than any other virus that we know of (details on the graphic are below). They are not as doom-worthy as their name implies, but they may have opened a box full of new biological forms that will challenge what we think of when we say "alive" or "virus". For the scientific low-down on pandoraviruses, check out this great article by Carl Zimmer.
Giant viruses of all kinds seem to be more common than we've ever imagined. It makes sense, in a way. Just like there is not a clear transition point between any two species, the complexity of life should also exist on a continuum from the small (bacterial viruses) to the complex (us). So maybe these little guys aren't so surprising after all?
I drew up a little graphic (above) to show just how large and complex pandoraviruses are compared to other life forms.
I can't wait to see what other kinds of life/not life we find inside this Pandora's box.
Is This the Future of Flu Vaccines?
See that picture up above? You're looking at one of the most advanced weapons (to fight a microscopic enemy) the human race has ever created. It's a nanoparticle (in gray) coated with synthetically produced coat proteins (HA, to be precise) from the influenza virus. Normally, flu mashes its coat proteins together like so:
The nanoparticles may be a major step toward a universal vaccine, which, of course, would be an awesome thing to have, save millions of lives, help us prevent a mass pandemic, etc.
Because flu viruses mutate, shuffle and swap their genes so frequently, the precise shape of the proteins that make up their spiky suit of armor is constantly being tweaked. It's like how, from afar, a Sarahan sand dune might appear the same shape and height from day to day, but when you look closely, the precise contours of its windswept dimpled have been changed ever so slightly by erosion. On and on it changes, never the same twice.
Our immune system relies on sentry proteins called antibodies in order to recognize foreign invaders like flu based on their binding to those precise contours and shapes, like tiny chinks in the armor. The exact set of antibodies that killed last year's flu are stored in your immune system's memory, ready to keep you safe from that infection in the future. Because the flu virus shuffles and tweaks its shape from year to year, we are constantly playing catch-up, reacting to new armor every year. It's like going home to find the lock changed, every day having to cut a new key.
If we could just make antibodies that bind to an unchanging part of the viral protein, like the trunks of those blue protein trees up there, we might be able to defend ourselves from future mutants with a single vaccination. But the virus keeps those parts hidden just enough to keep otherwise universal antibodies from attacking it.
That's where this new research from Gary Nabel and his group might come in handy. By attaching the HA coat protein (again, the blue thing) from influenza to nanoparticles, their Achilles Heel is exposed and strong, universal antibodies are amplified and stored in your body's defense bank. They built this nanoparticle vaccine from a 1999 strain's HA protein, and it protected animals from a half-century's worth of H1N1 viruses! It's as close to universal as I've ever heard.
Point: humans. But, these are tricky bugs, and we shouldn't get cocky, especially without human trials (yet). But we have brains, and they don't. That's really our best weapon, no?

The vermin only teaze and pinch
Their foes superior by an inch.
So, naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum.
What's the most common living thing on Earth? A smart guess would be to start with bacteria, which make up over half of all biomass on Earth (you did watch that episode of my YouTube show, right?). And since the oceans cover considerably more than half the planet, a marine bacterium would also make sense.
Until very recently, almost everyone with an opinion on these things would agree. See that bacterium in the electron microscope image above? It's called Pelagibacter ubique, an ocean-dwelling microbe whose family of relatives make up a stunning one-third of aquatic life forms (by sheer numbers). Why so numerous? One popular theory was that because they are immune to infection by bacterial viruses, they could grow unchecked.
Thanks to some creative science, that theory now appears dead wrong (here's the paper in Nature). By diluting seawater over and over (that is what grad students are for), Stephen Giovannoni's team was able to isolate single ocean viruses, most of which had never been identified before. Then they stuck them in with P. ubique and waited. Amazingly, some of the viruses could infect this previously uninfectable bacterium! Those little blobs in the image above are actually viruses ready to burst out of their unfortunate little host.
They sequenced the DNA of those viruses, when back to the ocean, and found that one of them, with the unremarkable name "HTVC010P", is … well, basically everywhere.
This "smaller flea", which itself feeds upon something so mind-bogglingly numerous, is now our best candidate for "The World's Most Abundant Thingy".
Whether or not it's a life form? I'll leave that up to you …
Episode Extra: Life By The Numbers
How do we know how many viruses there are in the ocean?
(This post helps explain some of the science in the latest episode of my show. It's impossible to get all the details into a few minutes. Watch the episode here if you haven't already. Seriously. Watch it, already!)
A lot of people seem pretty blown away by one of the numbers I presented in the video, that all the viruses in the ocean, laid end-to-end, would stretch 100 times the diameter of the Milky Way. Here's where that number comes from:
Curtis Suttle is a biologist at the University of British Columbia who studies marine viruses. In a 2005 Nature paper, he explained how quickly our knowledge of viruses in the seas is growing and how much impact they have on the marine biosphere. First, the math:
After spending years counting (yes, counting) viruses in different parts of the ocean, Suttle determined that any liter of seawater contains about 3 billion viruses (3x109). There's more near the surface, and fewer deep down (even viruses 100 meters below the seabed!), but that's an average. These include viruses from many different families, although distant oceans can house viruses with nearly identical genes. This means that the ocean's viruses are constantly swapping and trading genetic material. Think about what that means for how they drive evolution in marine environments!
Marine biologists have estimated (ESTIMATED) that the oceans hold about 1.3x1021 liters of seawater. Good luck reconciling that number in your head. It's kind of impossible. Do the math and you get 4x1030 viruses, also a rather ridiculous number. Viruses vary in size quite a bit, but using an average of 100 nanometers, that means they would span 10 million light years. One light year is almost 6 trillion miles, so you can see where this is going … express train to silly-ville. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across, so that's where the number comes from.
Even more interesting is the weight of viruses in the ocean. Ecologists often measure biomass in carbon, because it's important how much of these building blocks of organic life a particular piece of life (or dead stuff) contains. When something containing a lot of carbon dies, that carbon has to be recycled somewhere. Things that are made of a lot of carbon have to eat a lot of carbon. See what I mean?
The average virus contains about 0.2 femtograms of carbon, which isn't much by itself. But all of them together contain 200 megatons of carbon, which is the same amount of carbon in 75 million blue whales.
Why is that important? I mean, you can't picture what 75 million blue whales look like, right? But maybe you can imagine the impact 75 million blue whales could have on the ocean ecosystem. It would be significant to say the least. That's why it's important to understand how even the smallest units of the biosphere can really throw their weight around when viewed as a whole.
Does this mean viruses are a successful species? What do you think?
Why Does Flu Always Peak In The Winter?
Is it because we spend more time huddled indoors? Is it because the shorter days cause us to produce less immune system-stimulating vitamin D? Maybe even changes in atmospheric air currents? Or is it because the flu virus just survives better in winter air than in summer air?
Popular Science has put together an illustrated explainer about that last theory. Check it out at the link. It turns out that flu particles do travel better in lower humidity air (perhaps the "sneeze droplets" float longer) and that the particles themselves survive longer in drier air (they don't degrade and can infect better).
Maybe this is why the "swine flu" epidemic of 2009 wasn't as bad as feared, because it peaked in warm, humid months in the Northern Hemisphere? Hmm …

Fighting the Viral Wars
How are our body's hidden viruses like little green army men? Well, they aren't really. They're much smaller. But we can use them to learn something about how certain viruses evade our immune system. Meet Dr. Chris Sullivan, virologist at the University of Texas at Austin*.
This video tells the story of herpes simplex virus, a virus that currently infects ~60% of Americans and is the cause of cold sores around the mouth and nose. That's true for type 1, anyway. HSV type 2 infects … well, somewhere else. Although it "pops up" using a similar principle to the one you're about to learn about.
When viruses are out in the open, with infected cells sending viral particles on the search for a way to infect new cells or make their way to a new host, they are at their most vulnerable. This is when the immune system can recognize them as foreign and sound the alarm. Viruses like herpes instead spend most of their time in something called "latency". They lie in hibernation, inside of certain cells way back at the root of a nerve bundle. Only when they sense stress do they wake up and prepare for battle.
This brief flurry of activity results in a scout team of viruses being sent along that nerve bundle (the green army men marching to the Lego tower) until they reach the cells of the mouth and nose. There, the immune system kicks into high gear, forming a sore and causing virus particles to be shed off as the skin is enflamed and exposed. This is precisely why cold sores come in times of stress, and why they spread by physical contact.
Your body eventually fights the viral army men back to their safe, hidden base of "latency". But the original army is never eliminated, lying in wait like an invisible Trojan horse, waiting for the next trigger of stress to start the cycle again. Hence, no "cure" for herpes infections.
Labs like Dr. Sullivan's are trying to come up with ways to target that "latent" viral Trojan horse, and instead of just silencing those infections, getting rid of them once and for all. Even the most careful criminal leaves a trace of their crime. Viral detectives like these just need to sniff it out. After they're done playing with their toys, of course.
Check out this accompanying article for more.
*Full disclosure: I am also at UT-Austin and have had beers with Dr. Sullivan several times, which isn't really important, just to say that it doesn't surprise me that he's playing with toys. Awesome video by Dan Oppenheimer and the UT CNS team.
Norovirus: The Human Pathogen That Turns Your Digestive System Into A Two-Way Firehose of Infection
Behold the humble norovirus. The humbly evil norovirus, one of the most perfect human pathogens. To be fair, viruses can't be evil or not evil, they just want to reproduce. And how that happens to make their hosts feel is none of their concern. Noroviruses are masters of replication and infection, and they wreak havoc on the human digestive system in order to to their bidding.
That's right. You know where this is going. Carl Zimmer reports, disgustingly:
Noroviruses come roaring out of the infected cells in vast numbers. And then they come roaring out of the body. Within a day of infection, noroviruses have rewired our digestive system so that stuff comes flying out from both ends.
How can a virus with just nine protein-coding genes do so much damage to a creature (us) with 20,000? Over a million people have come down with norovirus vomitorrhea in just the UK this winter.
These wee beasties replicate in the digestive system, waiting for you to "eject" them out of one end of your body. People who come in contact with the remnants of that "ejection", even after cleaning, on planes or other crowded places, can be infected at alarming rates. Chances are it's happened to you at some point in your life and you just called it a "stomach bug".
Such a simple biological entity, refined by centuries upon centuries of molecular evolution, to exploit the digestive system of one class of mammals, reproducing in the safe warm home of our gut, and getting a free bi-directional rocket ride to their next host. Viruses never cease to amaze. And sometimes disgust.

Bamboo and pasta reimagined as viruses and bacteria, by Sinead Foley.
You can go ahead and thank Carl Zimmer in advance for the hours of sleep you're about to lose.
As part of his role as the internet's cataloguer for all that is tiny, invisible and mildly terrifying, he stumbled upon a study that counted the number of viruses and bacteria in a cubic meter of air. Ready for this?
Of course, without viruses, and the genes they have donated to us, mammals couldn't be born. And the number we breathe is nothing compared to how many are in the ocean (light years' worth!!). I guess there's a silver lining … most of them can't infect humans? If you need me, I'll be in my Contagion bubble.
So, uh … how long can you hold your breath?

Two of Santa's biggest helpers are rushing to deliver thousands of packages Thursday after they failed to do so by Christmas Day. UPS and FedEx drivers fanned out across Maryland and nationwide as both companies worked to make up for missed deliveries on Christmas that outraged customers. "I paid extra delivery costs to have guaranteed delivery on Christmas Eve, and it did not arrive," one customer said. "Santa was way more organized this year than UPS," said another. They blamed bad weather and a surge in online orders that overwhelmed their systems. Anirban Basu is chairman and CEO of Sage Policy Group, an economic and policy consulting firm in Baltimore. "One of the things that happened during the week preceding Christmas is that mall traffic was down in many instances because people were ordering online in greater volumes," he said. "FedEx and UPS were simply not ready for that, so what has happened has happened." The shipping problems hit UPS much harder than FedEx. Both companies have apologized. Basu says the companies should hold managers accountable, hire more seasonal employees and perhaps ask that people place last-minute orders earlier. "When the kids don't have presents under the tree for Christmas, that's a big deal," said Basu. Wow. You wonder if more folks will go back to malls and bypass purchasing online. Either that or just order a few more days earlier. Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Make sure and check out my facebook page by clicking here.

Introduction to Classic Wrestling Section
Welcome to the Classic Wrestling Section! This section has been created for the old school wrestling fans, the nostalgia junkies that want to talk about wrestling from back in the day. It is also here to introduce new fans and people who are not familiar with wrestling organizations and wrestlers of the past. Keep post-Attitude Era talk out of this section as it was created to generate discussion specifically on Classic Wrestling from the United States up to the end of the Monday Night Wars.
Topics for discussion:
World Wrestling Federation: The WWWF days (1960s-70s), The Golden Years (1980s), The New Generation Era and the Attitude Era (1990s).
World Championship Wrestling: The official existence of WCW started in 1988 but discussions on the Jim Crockett Promotion years are strongly encouraged!
Extreme Championship Wrestling: Talk about the original ECW.
The Territories: This one is wide open as there were some great wrestling companies that featured quality programs in territories throughout the United States in the 60s, 70s, and especially the 80s. Discuss the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), American Wrestling Association (AWA), World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), Championship Wrestling from Florida, Mid-South Wrestling, Memphis, and so many others.
So start discussing, reviewing, debating, reminiscing, and learning about Classic Wrestling!

Former top cop turned Auckland Council member George Wood's prolific Facebooking has landed him in trouble.
The New Zealand Herald reports that he posted a picture of the Tino Rangatiratanga and New Zealand flags flying from the Auckland Harbour Bridge on Waitangi Day.
Now Mr Wood, also ex-Mayor of the former North Shore City, has admitted he took it while driving.
He says he did not know the rules - which were introduced long after he resigned from the police force.
Mr Wood says his cellphone is on a hands-free kit in his car, and he simply pointed it at the flags to get the picture.
Using your mobile while driving can land you an $80.00 fine and 30 demerit points, but the police are unlikely to act.

Game of Thrones Season 2 Episode 5 Recap
We were left in the last episode with Melisandre giving birth to a shadow assassin. In this episode, we can see what this assassin was meant to be born: to kill Renly. So the shadow assassin gets into Renly's tent and stabs him. Brienne and Catelyn witness the assassination. As Brienne is weeping over Renly, Catelyn encourage her to run with her as Renly's soldier thinks that Brienne has killed him. Renly's death means that the Starks lose an ally. Now the fight for the Throne is for Joffrey and Stannis, and neither of them like the idea of Robb being the King in the North.
Meanwhile, Brienne still wants to make revenge to Stannis, but Catelyn tries to calm her so that she can wait a little longer for a perfect time. Finally, she swears fealty to Catelyn, which might bring an interesting ally for the Starks later. On the other hand, Margaery now has lost her chance, not only to be a Queen, but to be the Queen. She is not interested in making revenge for Renly. Instead, she is more eager to find a way to reach her goal.
People acts based on his or her own motivations. This creates many events that occur altogether and are mixed uncontrollably. Robb is still marching south to meet Joffrey at King's Landing. He is always a threat for King's Landing, but now there is also a new threat: Stannis. Following Renly's death, many of his men join Stannis' forces. That makes him even stronger. Meanwhile at King's Landing, a bunch of Wildfire is being prepared to welcome Stannis. Besides King's Landing, things are also going unwell at Winterfell. After declaring his loyalty to his father, Theon takes his step to go against the Starks by attacking Torrhen's Square, in order to take Winterfell.
Far in the city of Qarth, Dany and her band of Dothraki finally find their shelter. Now they are in the care of Xaro Xhoan Daxos, one of the Thirteen of Qarth. Xaro is not entirely a sincere man after all, as he offers Dany to fund her journey to Westeros in exchange of a marriage between him and Dany. He is indeed attempted by Dany's dragons, just like any other men. Ser Jorah has talked to Dany though, encouraging her to go on her own way. This is exactly what Davos also does to Stannis, regarding Melisandre's involvement in the war.
In the North, Jon finally can serve as a ranger as he volunteers to join some men who are going to look for wildlings. Now he is marching through a dangerous landscape full of snow with his brothers. Meanwhile, Jon's half sister, Arya, is now also in a thrilling situation. She is serving as Tywin's cupbearer, without Tywin knowing that she is a Stark of course. She also builds a "friendship" with Jaqen H'ghar, a person she saved when the new recruits of the Night's Watch were attacked by the Lannisters. Arya saved three people including Jaqen at that time, so now Jaqen promises Arya that he can kill three other people for Arya to pay his debt. At first, Arya doesn't seem to trust him, but she finally build her trust as she sees the interrogator, known as The Tickler, becoming Jaqen's first victim for his debt.

SHEPHERDSTOWN — The Shepherdstown Really Really Free Market has moved to the heart of town and will celebrate its grand reopening next month.
The new location for the market is 104 N. King St., in the street directly in front of Shepherdstown City Hall. The grand reopening will be held Sept. 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Really Really Free Market is a community-wide sharing event in which every item brought to the market is considered free.
Almost all items are welcome, but organizers ask that "trash" not be back to the market. Items such as old paints, tires, broken appliances, child's car seats and/or toxic/degraded industrial chemicals will not be accepted and should be disposed of properly somewhere else, organizers say. Also, donations of clothing, furniture or fabrics should first be cleaned.
All unclaimed items will be donated to other charities/thrift stores at the conclusion of the market. Items should be dropped off at the designated dropoff areas.
For more information on the event and volunteering, contact Robert Glenn at 304-839-9317, or e-mail email@example.com. The Shepherdstown Really Really Free Market also has a Facebook page.

The basics are the same because all horses are fundamentally identical.
The natural aids (voice, seat, legs
and hands via the reins) may be combined in ways dependent upon
your abilities and your mount's capabilities, and are traditionally
referred to as
"the language of the aids".

Troubleshooting network problems can be quite daunting at times and a recommended good practice when troubleshooting Windows Firewalls is to enable the native logs.

IPv6 Unique Local addresses (ULAs) are equivalent of private addresses in IPv4 that is, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. These addresses are routable between subnets on a private network but are not routable on the public Internet. They allow you to create complex internal networks without having public address space assigned. ULAs begin with the prefix "fd" and their structure is... Read More
As we have noted in a previous post all IPv6 Link-local Addresses (LLA) share the same network identifier (fe80::) hence, you can cannot determine which interface an LLA is bound to, if the computer has multiple network adapters connected to different network segments. In fact, it distinguishes the networks by using a numeric zone ID, following a percent sign after... Read More
Pv6 Link-Local Addresses (LLAs) are similar to APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) addresses in Windows IPv4 based systems. APIPA addresses are self-configured, non-routable addresses in the range of 169.254.0.0/16. But unlike APIPA addresses, LLA addresses remain assigned to an interface as a secondary address even after a routable address is obtained for that interface. An LLA address always begins with...

IPv6 global addresses are equivalent to Public IP addresses in IPv4 and are globally reachable on the IPv6 portion of the Internet. The global IPv6 address structure is divided into three parts, the Public and Private routing part, and the host identification within a LAN.

Organizations are looking into the details of IPv6 and see if they are ready to shift from IPv4. For instance, IPv6 has a new header format, and hence, IPv4 routers that have not been designed to support IPv6 cannot parse the fields in the IPv6 header. On the other hand, Layer 2 protocols are not affected where internal switches and... Read More
