Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment
Van Leeuwen says his died mop is a "political symptom not taken serious enough". She thinks it was a brilliant move to step away from his Indonesian roots and hide his post-colonial revanchism. Although this may also be an example of his "classic Indo identity alienation."
Alex T. Jacob wrote:...how corrupt and inprecise are so many of the conclusions
This is a huge problem: you can find someone, somewhere, to support almost any conclusion, any a priori.
It wouldn't really matter how they got there, it is more a question that they are there.
Jews have had so much to do with Europe and for so long that 'our fates are interwoven'. Can the same be said for Islamic culture? In the long run what will be the effect of Islamic culture on Europe?
Still, in his talks, he [Wilders] makes some very good points about a need to preserve a solid connection with our own traditions, to value and revalue them.
I don't think 'the West' (as seen over the last 4-5 decades)(taking into consideration youth movements and progressive trends in our cultures) has been at all short of sympathy and understanding and openness to other 'cultural modalities'.
Alex T. Jacob wrote: I am not sure ....but I am not sure ...I guess that....a sort of nothingness. Nothing decided, nothing really understood.
Diebert wrote:[Wilders is] nothing but a mouthpiece of a dark brown undercurrent of society with absolutely no dialog internally and no dialog with any opposing party or group. Any call for a public debate from and with Islamic groups and representatives he has always declined.
And this is somehow representing a defender for Western values and democracy or a serious stirrer of debate? It's only demonstrating a level of ignorance that is breath taking. Yes, discussion is needed and real problems demand real solutions and constructive approaches. Wilders represents one of the problems, that is: obscuring the language, the discourse in a way that makes it near impossible to ever move forward. And yes, this is what makes him so perfectly aligned in my view with many Zionist and neo-conservative types. Not that the issues they raise are not important and worthy of debate, it's how they kill dialog before it can start as if their true motive is something completely different than stated.
Diebert wrote:Open borders will in time change all identities and mix cultures. Fear of that and blaming misfortunes on that process is essentially a fascist ideology
Alex Jacob wrote:Definition of Arabic word 'fitna'.
Hey! I thought you weren't going to post anymore on this subject!
What is the normally accepted definition of fascism?
He is not against Arab or Islamic people, and states this very clearly.
What Van Leeuwan is doing is quite like that. It is done for political purposes. Still, from the little clips I read, she qualified all her statements saying 'there is no way to prove this', but the damage is done: it circulates all over the web. What can you do?
It is called a hack-job and its just fine if 'your side' does it for an end you support. But if the opposition borrows the technique, it is 'evil'.
Under the surface of Islam there appears to be a rather dangerous and violent core

Nari Ward
2002, 2007, 2012, 2015
Nari Ward's (b. 1963 Jamaica) installations evoke emotional responses from viewers by challenging their social and spiritual beliefs. His dramatic sculptures are composed of systematically collected material from his urban neighborhood and often incorporate sound and light. Weaving culture, history, and personal narrative, Ward transforms plastic garbage bags, abandoned baby strollers, glass bottles, landscaping barrier cloth, fire hoses, oil drums, doors, and old television into works that explore issues surrounding race, poverty, consumer culture, sex and immigration.
Nari Ward has exhibited at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York; the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit; the Palazzo delle Papesse-Centro Arte Contemporanea, Siena, Italy; the Galleria Civica díArte, Torino, Italy; and the Taipei Museum, Taipei. In addition, his work has been included in Prospect 1 New Orleans Biennial (2008); Whitney Biennial, New York (2006); Echigo- Tsumari Art Triennial, Japan (2006); Sharjah International Biennial 7,Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (2005); and Documenta XI, Kassel (2003). He received commissions from the United Nations and the World Health Organization, and Awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the National Endowment for the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation. Ward is currently a professor of art and sculpture at Hunter College. He received a BA from Hunter College in 1991 and an MFA from Brooklyn College 1992. Nari Ward was born in St. Andrews, Jamaica and he currently lives and works in Harlem, New York.
Nari Ward first visited the Gardner Museum in 2002 while he was in North Andover working on a piece for SiteLines, a project at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy. Immediately Ward was struck by the Gardner staff's commitment to the museum and their diligence for its care; especially the work of the conservation department team. On returning to his studio in Harlem, Ward began working on new pieces for his exhibition including Mimesis: Glove Book that he constructed using catalogues of the museum's collection and Bus Park, a small school bus that he transformed and ultimately installed outside on the museum's grounds.
Ward returned in September for five weeks to continue his research and to prepare for his exhibition, Episodes: Bus Park and Forevermore. Early on in his residency Ward visited the Boston Arts Academy to meet with a class of ninth grade students and present them with his concept for his installation, Bus Park. Ward went over the details of how they would help to create the exterior structure of the bus with hundreds of yellow pencils fastened together to create vines. He turned the special exhibition gallery into his temporary studio and with the help of two assistants from the nearby School of the Museum of Fine Arts, he constructed five new works that responded directly to the museum and to Isabella Stewart Gardner's unusual requirement that the Museum galleries be preserved exactly as she had arranged them. Once, a piece Ward made out of clocks and photographs of the museum staff as children, was partially "etched" into wall to reveal the multitude of paint layers from previous shows . Another work, ISG Duster, was a replica of the conservator's vacuum and cleaning cart covered in dust from the galleries that had been specifically saved for the project.
Ward had also been attracted to the children's books in Gardner's collection. He selected the first line of each story and invited the students from Boston Arts Academy to take photographs of objects in the collection that reminded them of each passage. These were collected and incorporated into books that were tethered to the seats of the bus. A second group of five seniors from Boston Arts Academy helped Ward at the museum to install the vines of pencils, other elements of the work, and helped to create a recorded sound component. Ward asked each student read aloud the lines he had selected from the children's book. This track was edited together with music in a loop and was piped into the bus. Several of the children's books were put on display outside the special exhibition gallery.
Filmmaker Mark Lipman captured the process of Ward creating Bus Park in his Harlem studio and working at the Gardner Museum. A short film was included outside the exhibition and a longer film was edited with interviews and more detail about each project. In addition, the exhibition included talks by the artist, independent curator Tumelo Mosaka, assistant curator at Walker Art Center, Olukemi Ilesanmi, Adam Weinberg, Director of the Addison Gallery of Art, and Pieranna Cavalchini Contemporary Curator at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
He returned in 2007 to give a Noontime Talk about his current projects.
A photograph from Ward's series Flashlight Tour, 2002 was included in Points of View: 20 Years of Artists-in-Residence at the Gardner, an exhibition celebrating the Museum's residency program through select works by past participants. This exhibition, which ran from January 19 - August 20, 2012, was created for the debut of the Museum's new wing and renovated spaces.

While he may look like a stereotypical presidential candidate, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney's campaign organization doesn't look the part at all, at least according to this Politico article which takes a look at how he's set up his staff structure.
According to the piece, Romney runs a more vertical-oriented structure which can streamline processes but might potentially make him too caught up in the details to run things effectively. On the other hand, he clearly is more than just a figurehead the way that Barack Obama was during his 2008 campaign:
Mitt Romney, well into his second, more successful presidential run, still has no Rove-like figure — an all-seeing adviser engineering the entire, increasingly sprawling, political apparatus. But aides and insiders say there is someone very much in charge — and that would be, for better or worse, Mitt Romney.
Romneyworld consists of a set of interlocking circles, created during his time in business and in government, tied together by a campaign manager with a clear mandate over the operation but with the candidate himself at the center. According to the basic presidential political playbook, that's risky; staffers always say their boss is in charge but also always worry about a candidate who's too immersed in the nitty-gritty details. Nomination narratives are full of cautionary tales about candidates who couldn't see the proverbial strategic forest because they obsessed over every decision, creating a leadership vacuum.
But the CEO-structure of Romney's campaign reflects a central belief set by campaign manager Matt Rhoades and adhered to by others that staff should not be the focus of attention — and it reflects the management style that has made Romney successful in the past.
"(Romney) likes a pretty horizontal organization where there's a number of different inputs into him," said former Missouri Sen. Jim Talent, a Romney ally and surrogate. "He fields information so quickly and he has such a strong frame of reference that he knows what questions he wants to ask."
"You have a group of people there that are mature, collaborative, [there's] very little personality conflict and turf-fighting and the like." said former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who has become a key Romney surrogate. He credited Romney, saying the way the campaign functions reflects the personal approach of the former Massachusetts governor.
"I think it's remarkable because the campaign is really high-functioning, and part of the reason it's so high-functioning is because Mitt has assembled a group of seasoned [operatives]," he added, saying they have experience "coming to a team conclusion and executing it as a team."
Personally, I don't think the structure of a campaign dictates the success of one unless it's executed poorly. Still, the article is an interesting look into how Romney does things.

"I love my invitations! This was a simple yet elegant way for me to invite my guests to our wedding. Our picture on the invitation came out beautiful. I love how I was able to print on the front and back of the reception card, making it easy for both myself and my guests. Highly recommended for a simple, chic, and elegant girl!!"
"Beautiful cards. I got them printed on the shimmer paper and put them into laser cut envelopes I got from another source. So elegant and clean. Staff is AMAZING. Very kind and attentive, everytime I called them, they were very helpful and patient. My invitations arrived 1 week before scheduled delivery. Fast service! For canadian customers, please remember you will be charged the current exchange rate and duties via UPS (a few little surprises I forgot about when paying)!"
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"These invites were perfect for our Late August rustic themed wedding. Designing was simple and they arrived earlier than expected! Terrific experience!"
"love these invites. they were the perfect mix of modern and traditional that we were after. the colours are also subtle and chic."

Sleep Disorders
Are You Sleep Deprived?
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: Jay W. Marks, MD
No matter how much sleep you need, if you don't get enough, you will suffer the effects of sleep deprivation. Individuals vary in their need for sleep. Some people require nine or more hours of sleep per night, while others may not feel deprived after just five hours of sleep. But the average adult requires seven to eight hours of sleep per night.
Are you getting enough sleep? Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you often feel drowsy during the day?
- Do you usually fall asleep within the first five minutes after lying down in bed?
If you answered yes to either of these, you're likely to be sleep deprived or have a sleep disorder. There are many different types of sleep disorders. Examples include:
- insomnia,
- sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea,
- periodic limb movement disorder, and...

A Student's Perspective on Adobe Tools
The following is a guest post by Bedros Kharmandarian, a junior at New Milford High School. Throughout his high school career he has been exposed to many elective courses in the areas of graphics and technology that have allowed him to unleash his creative talents. In this piece he discusses his use of Adobe tools to create our recent Holocaust Study Tour book. You can view last year's book created using Adobe Creative Design Suite HERE.
As a student, the use of Adobe programs has been a privilege, as well as, a tool to benefit myself and New Milford High School. A large amount of my efforts yearly go into our school yearbook, which is done through a collaboration between our Graphic Arts teacher, Mr. Pevny, and a few students such as myself. I am proud to say that the yearbook has consistently received many awards over the years. This, in my opinion, can be attributed to an amazing teacher in Mr. Pevny as well as the schools' investment in the latest educational technology (iMacs, Adobe tools, digital cameras, etc.).
This year, a project that took a grand amount of effort on my part, as well as, the use of programs such as Photoshop and InDesign, was a booklet on the Holocaust Study Tour. Every year our school holds an educational trip to Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, in which a select group of students are taken to get a first hand education on the Holocaust. When the trip reaches its end, they are left with multitudes of pictures, as well as, an essay, which is to be written by each student. A single student is bestowed the task of using the resources at hand, coupled with Adobe programs, to create a 60 page booklet. This year, I was the student chosen.
So, essentially, Adobe software such as InDesign and Photoshop have been a staple in my artistic student life. They have enriched my experience as a student at New Milford High by providing me the ability to make things ranging from yearbook content, Holocaust booklets, playbills for the school musical, projects for numerous classes, and many more learning artifacts. I am afforded countless opportunities to learn on my terms with the tools that I am comfortable with at times that are convenient. This is how school should be and I am thankful for everything that NMHS has done to meet my needs and provided me with unparalleled learning opportunities.

New Lofty Heights for Sheldon Lake State Park
Thanks to Private Donations, Observation Tower Opens at Urban Park
HOUSTON – The welcome rains subsided just in time for a crowd of 100-plus to witness the unveiling of the new John Jacob Observation Tower at Sheldon Lake State Park Thursday morning, on the east side of Texas' largest city.
The tower, named for native Houstonian, civic leader and executive at Anheuser-Busch, John Jacob, cost $1.5 million to construct—all of which was funded by private donations—and features an access ramp, stairs and an elevator that ultimately provide unprecedented views of the park, reservoir and beyond from atop the 82-foot-tall structure.
"This tower is going to become the signature item for this park. People are going to come here to climb to the top and take in the view, said Sheldon Lake State Park superintendent Robert Comstock. "The dream and vision to have this tower was on paper, but without the private donations, it never would have become a reality."
Fundraising efforts for the project began in 2003 by then TPW Commissioner Al Henry, also a Houston native. Henry helped secure millions of dollars toward Sheldon's future and thought the new tower would be a fitting tribute if named in honor of Jacob, his lifelong friend and professional colleague.
During the ceremony, former TPWD Executive Director and current Audubon Board of Directors member Andy Sansom also announced plans for Audubon to raise more than $6 million in additional funds for a new visitor and interpretive center to be built on site at the park.
Once an old fish hatchery facility and Wildlife Management Area, Sheldon Lake State Park today is a 2,800- acre preserve, lake and Environmental Learning Center located only 15 miles from the downtown Houston skyline, and serves a unique mission to nearby urban residents, attracting more than 60,000 people each year (including some 4,000 students from surrounding inner city and suburban schools) to its facilities, fishing ponds and restored wetlands and tallgrass prairies.
For more information, contact the park at (281) 456-2800.

Missed out on the chance to cycle in this year's RideLondon event? Charity Love Kingston is looking for 19 riders to ride 100 miles and help them raise money.
Cyclists will be pedalling through London and the Surrey countryside on Sunday, August 10, and will cross the borough of Kingston twice, writes Sarah Fopma.
Elaine Miller, fundraising manager for Love Kingston, said: "We're asking riders to fundraise £750 each to help support some of the most vulnerable people who live in our community."
Mark Sharma-Drake, 53, who works at Kingston University's IT department, is one of Love Kingston's cyclists.
He said: "I feel proud to be a part of this event and to be raising money for good causes, but also a little worried because I've never cycled 100 miles in one go before."
Love Kingston supports youth workers Oxygen, Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness, Kingston Food Bank, women's refuge Hestia and credit union Kingston Savers.
Last year more than 20,000 amateur and professional cyclists powered through Kingston on their way back from Box Hill in Surrey with crowds lining the roads.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1925 — Ulanow, Poland
Marcus, known to his family as Moniek, was one of three children born to a Jewish family in the Polish town of Ulanow. His father worked as a tailor. Ulanow's Jewish community had many of its own organizations and maintained a large library. From the age of 3, Moniek attended a religious school. He started public school when he was 7.
1933-39: In 1935 Moniek's father left for America to find a job so that his family could later join him. He sent money to them while they waited for their emigration papers. Moniek's mother worked as a seamstress to help support the family. At age 14, Moniek graduated from secondary school. In September of the same year, the family was about to complete the paperwork for emigration when Germany invaded Poland.
1940-43: After Ulanow was occupied, Moniek was forced to work as a laborer for the German army. In 1942 the Nazis ordered a roundup of all Ulanow's Jews. Fearing deportation, Moniek went into hiding with a friend. For over a year they managed to elude the Germans by hiding in the forests and fields near Ulanow. But during a German search for partisans, Moniek and his friend were trapped in a rye field. Sweeping the field inch by inch with their dogs, the Germans finally capturedthe pair.
After being seized outside Ulanow in 1943, Moniek and his friend were never heard from again.

Brent crude rose on Tuesday, hitting A 20-week high as positive economic data and strong corporate earnings reports lifted Wall Street stocks and other financial markets.
U.S. crude rose more modestly, constrained by worries about surplus supplies at Cushing, Oklahoma. Brent's premium over U.S. crude widened, at one point hitting the biggest spread this year.
Financial markets got a lift from purchasing managers' indices in Europe and data on the U.S. services sector. Also, stronger-than-expected earnings lifted the Dow Jones industrial average above 14,000, a day after the market's biggest sell-off since November. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq stock indexes each gained more than 1 percent.
"The S&P 500 has recovered its confidence and there's support for oil prices related to that," said Timothy Evans, energy analyst for Citi Futures Perspective in New York.
Brent's premium to U.S. crude increased to $20.34, the widest this year and just short of the 100-day moving average. The spread settled at $19.88, 45 cents wider than Monday's close.
Expectations that stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery point for the U.S. contract may keep rising are weighing on the U.S. benchmark, traders have said.
Brent crude settled up 92 cents a barrel at $116.52 in volatile trade. During the session, it fell as low as $115.01 and climbed as high as $117.23, its highest point since mid-September. Brent is up more than 5 percent in 2013.
U.S. crude added 47 cents to $96.64.
Supply of the four North Sea crude oil grades that underpin the Brent futures contract is expected to fall in March, according to loading schedules, supporting Brent prices.
Traders were also eyeing news Magellan Midstream Partners LP's reversed Longhorn Pipeline would begin filling with crude in mid-March and reach its 225,000-barrel-per-day capacity in the third quarter. The line will deliver crude from West Texas to the Gulf Coast refining center.
Oil traders were also awaiting weekly on U.S. oil inventories, which are expected to rise by 2.8 million barrels, a preliminary Reuters poll found on Monday.
The American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, will release its report late Tuesday, while figures from the government's Energy Information Administration are due to follow on Wednesday.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/7/2013 (1485 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I did ask the question.
Problem was, the question didn't dig deep enough into the story that lay beneath, like a labyrinth of crude oil pipelines. In fact, precisely like a labyrinth of crude oil pipelines.
Which is why, last week, after my column lauding University of Winnipeg president Lloyd Axworthy for co-founding the Eco-Kids Summer Camp for inner-city children, the Free Press received a letter from a group of U of W students who noticed something was missing. The rest of the story.
The letter began:
"Gordon Sinclair's article, (Inner-city kids hungry to succeed, July 20), praises Lloyd Axworthy, Kevin Chief and the Eco-Kids program at the University of Winnipeg for providing indigenous and inner-city youth with environmentally conscious educational programming. Conspicuously absent from the article is any mention of the program's main sponsor: Enbridge, the Calgary-based corporation that operates the longest crude oil and liquids pipeline network on the planet.
"Enbridge has a disastrous environmental record, racking up over 800 spills between 1999 and 2010. These spills have resulted in nearly 20 million litres of crude oil being released into the environment, and include the 2010 spill on the Kalamazoo River, the largest and most costly inland oil spill in U.S. history, which, three years later, has yet to be fully cleaned up. It is unacceptable that the University of Winnipeg has ties with Enbridge at all, never mind the irony that the program they fund gives children the opportunity to measure their own ecological footprint. Surely, the University of Winnipeg can find a more appropriate source of funding."
The letter was signed by Mathieu Paille, Robert McGregor and Rachel Dunsmore.
Actually, Enbridge doesn't sponsor the Eco-Kids Summer Camp, which was the focus of the column. I asked who the sponsors were before writing the column and Enbridge wasn't mentioned. But, as the letter suggested, Enbridge is a primary sponsor for the Eco-Kids On Campus, a related program run during the academic year that offers Grade 6 students from the inner city a chance to study science and the environment and hopefully aspire to post-secondary education.
All very impressive.
Except for Enbridge's oily involvement.
So what kind of money is Enbridge paying the U of W it can't possibly replace from another source?
The energy giant donates $25,000 annually to Eco-Kids On Campus program. That $25,000 for the U of W is a financial pittance for a corporation involved in that massive oil spill three years ago on the Kalamazoo River that, by one estimate, could cost nearly $1 billion to clean up.
So why does the U of W administration persist with its Enbridge partnership, even after being confronted in the past by the leaders of the students' union? An emailed answer from the university's communications department pointed out that Enbridge's School Plus Program, from which the Eco-Kids program was created, was initiated with the blessing of the Assembly of First Nations. That was in 2009, mind you, just as Phil Fontaine was leaving office as National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations and Enbridge was sponsoring his farewell gala in Calgary.
The email from the U of W went on to offer another answer from a question I hadn't even asked yet: "Programming content is not directed by the initiative's supporters."
Perhaps not, but I doubt Enbridge would continue its funding if the Eco-Kids wanted a course on the tarsands and how it has resulted in Canada becoming a dirty word among many environmentalists around the world.
In any event, without a direct answer to my question, I was left wondering why the U of W can't say no to such a small amount of money from such a big environmentally controversial corporation. Until, that is, I was directed to an article in The Uniter from nearly 18 months ago, wherein Jennifer Rattray, a former CBC journalist who is now the U of W's associate vice-president of indigenous, government and community affairs, was quoted as saying without Enbridge's donation, the Eco-Kids program wouldn't exist.
Having dispensed that bunk, she got down to what serves as her best answer for why the university has sold its integrity for money from dirty oil.
"Bottom line, it helps those kids. Anything I can do to help those kids, I will do."
There you have it.
The fundamental life lesson the U of W is really teaching all you Eco-Kids out there.
The end justifies the means.

Spoiler:- *drumroll*:
Addie - Adalricus
The absence of fear does not mean the presence of courage
Merely a lack of brains
Excuse me, but you can just call me Lucas.
... (Does he even know that he hasn't actually won anything yet?)
(Coco) Oh, let the boy have his fun. ^w^
(Cece) Hey moron, you still have to spend twelve weeks with the rest of us! You haven't won anything yet.
(Coco) You can't keep your big mouth shut can you? -_-
hmm... i think what Addie meant is he won the twelfth spot ^_^ were going to lose our sanity

Nooo Doug was going to win, Doug no wannnt swcond aagin....unless it comes with cupcakes.
(OOC: Guys, generally when someone speaks in brackets, it means that they're thinking, not speaking aloud. Just saying, in case you forgot the basics.)
You know what this calls for? A PARTY!!!
(Coco) Yay! I love parties! =D
(Cece) I hate parties! There so boring, there's nothing to do but dance and eat.
(Coco) Of course you do, you hate everything.
And how is that fact useful?
^ (Coco) If anyone wants to have a wedding? ....
I meant for us, none of us really know each other well enough to even begin dating, let alone become married.
Party party party party!
Sorry sorry sorry sorry!
(Coco)Uh-huh! (Cece)Nu-uh! (Coco)Uh-huh! (Cece)Nu-uh!
*sigh*Attention towards your host..?
*cough*This is why I hate people. Lets just head back inside the mansion Giova-
Silence, if not, this will end with violence!
Hm, thanks Giovanni.*AHEM*Ok, listen up peabrains. 12 of you got through the sign ups, yada yada, welcome to season 2, yada yada...*sigh*Not in the mood, Giovanni, you do it, I'm heading back inside.
*Grabs Lethe's grassy coat and yoinks her back to the contestants*I welcome you with whole my heart, in my mansion where the first challenge will start.
Oh nice Gio, give them a warm welcome, that way they will lose their sanity fast... Talking about warm welcomes, it's too hot outside.
That's illogical, the beach is frozen, there's snow everywhere and the temperature of the sea water is-
Not low enough. It should be frozen solid. Now look at it. You can see the waves. Stupid waves, waving around like they don't care, well, know what?! You're just stupid waves and you-
Enough talking about the waves in the sea, just tell them what the challenge will be.
Oh, sorry, was drifting off...
Pun not intended...
*sneezes*See this bugger hanging from my nose? It should be frozen solid, if the weather was normal. I should have been able to pick it and throw it at one of you to make may day a little better, but now*Wiggles*It's just wiggling in the wind and being squishy and weak, just like you all are.
Like, ewwwww. Sniff it up!
...Know what? I keep it here, just to gross you out and make my day a bit less horrible one.
Enough talking about snot, let's start the challenge because it's still too hot!
*yawn*Yeah yeah, now, lets think*sniffs*Awww, probably the most interesting thing just left.
Fantastic, I'm glad that green abomination is gone. It was giving me the evil eye.*tries to sip from frozen tea*I clearly don't see why she wants it to be colder...
*Cough*Anyway, I bet it were those darn vikings, always screaming about there's not enough water. Know what vikings? It's 2012! You shouldn't even exists anymore.*sneezes*Ah, it's back.
Just great, like bug pokémon couldn't get grosser...
*cough*Secondly, perhaps the weather control tower, top notch technology engineerd by the mansion staff to keep this place cool, is broken. Thirdly-
A few pokemon have been seen near a cave. We don't know who they are and how they behave. So please check that spot too, because there could be a clue.
Yeah, what he said. Now for the summary, in case any of you don't have the memory capacity to remember all of that. Which I bet are a lot of you.
Hey cool lady, do you fancy a date?
See this feather? The length of it means I'm male.
Sooooooo, that's a no?
Or don't have an attention span, like him...
1)Interrogate the vikings.
2)Fix the possibly broken weather control tower.
3)Investigate the Pokémon in the cave.

LYE Town returned to top spot in the West Midlands League this week following a 3-0 win at Bromyard Town.
With last Saturday's proposed game against Wolves Casuals called off, it presented the opportunity for Shawbury United to leapfrog in the table ahead of Lye.
But Lye were able to restore their two point advantage courtesy of two well-taken first half goals from Kevin Nickle before central defender Damien Whitcombe weighed in with a third with a stooping header from a Matt Johnson corner.
However Lye didn't come through the game unscathed, Nickle limping off early in the second half – adding to the absence of leading marksman Ricky Anslow who had earlier sustained an ankle injury during a friendly with Rushall Olympic. Lye travel to Shifnal Town this Saturday and then host Sporting Khalsa on Tuesday.
STOURBRIDGE'S love affair with the Worcestershire Senior Cup came to halt on Tuesday when they lost 3-2 to Evesham United.
The Glassboys, who have won the trophy for the past three years, led 2-0 at one stage through Tom Berwick and Jordan Fitzpatrick, but Evesham responded with goals by Elliott Kennedy, Lance Smith and an extra-time Jared Wilson penalty.

I've been thinking of a pro-audio shop located in Times Square that recently announced it will be closing it's doors. Part of being a New Yorker is saying goodbye to institutions you loved. Manny's was born in Manhattan in 1935 by a saxophone salesmen named Manny Goldrich and it was filled with all the toys readers of this blog enjoy.
It was the first place in the NY area I found a Minimoog Voyager on display. I remember spending a few hours in the store twisting knobs and smashing keys on Bob's creation. Not once did anyone tell me to take a hike or buy anything. In fact, every now and then an employee would walk over and tell me to turn it louder. Manny's wood paneled walls were covered with signed photos from hundreds of rock stars who came in for a new string or chat.
I always thought it was strange Sam Ash was right next door and in 1999 Sam's company bought Manny's right out. Alas I am afraid this tale of 48th street won't end here because the Rockafeller Center group are on a shopping spree and our entire music street is the target. With huge pressure from online, Guitar Center, the new Best Buy pro-audio stores and high NYC rents it's not surprising Paul Ash noted he knew his store on 48th would disappear soon too.

A DOCTOR wants people to help save lives by donating their unwanted winter woollies to Russells Hall Hospital.
The appeal comes after a 99-year-old man recently arrived at the Dudley hospital suffering with severe hypothermia, following a fall at home.
The elderly man was "freezing cold to touch" so A&E consultant, Dr Joanne Taylor scoured the department in search of a woolly hat to warm him up and get him to a healthy temperature.
She said: "The woolly hat I found may not have solely saved his life but it certainly helped to reduce further heat loss."
Dr Taylor explained that keeping warm is very important during the colder winter months: "One of our major concerns over the winter months is elderly people developing hypothermia as we often find that patients arrive at hospital with a dangerously low body temperature in addition to other illness or injury, for example, following a fall.
"The injuries they sustain from a fall may be fairly minor but if they spend a long time on the floor without warm clothes or blankets the heat they lose can prove dangerous."
She continued: "Warming these patients up when they arrive in hospital so we can treat them safely can be very difficult, and one of the biggest problems we face is preventing further heat loss – this is where woolly hats come in.
"A knitted hat helps reduce natural heat loss, enabling us to concentrate on making our patients better. So please knit a hat and save a life."
Donations of both shop-bought and homemade hats and scarves can be dropped off at the hospital's main reception between 9am and 4pm.

OLD Boltonians underlined their Premier Division title credentials with a resounding 5-0 victory away to main title rivals Prestwich 5-0.
Julian Stevens' men earned a measure of revenge on the Heys Road side who pipped Old Bolts to last year's title by a point.
Manager Stevens was full of praise for his side, in particular strikers Dean Halewood and Matt McClellan who rekindled a childhood partnership to tear apart the Prestwich defence.
"They've not played together for about 10 years since they were at Bolton County schoolboys, but they clicked straightaway and caused so many problems for their defence," Stevens said.
McClellan gave Old Bolts the lead midway through the first half before new signing Halewood doubled the lead after half an hour.
The Turton men continued the onslaught after the break as McClellan scored his second before a well struck free kick by Darren Dalton and a goal by Sean Rushton topped off a resounding victory.
Stevens feared his team might be rusty having not played in the league for more than two months, but was delighted by his side's performance against a physical Prestwich side.
"We were ice cool on the ball and didn't get dragged into a fight with them," he said. "They did exactly what I wanted them to do and I can't fault any of them.
Second-placed Castle Hill overcame Bury GSBO 3-1 in what manager Rob Rostron described as a "feisty affair".
Goals from Rob Walsh and Chris Beresford gave Castle Hill a 2-0 half-time lead which became three soon after the break with a Walsh penalty.
Bury GSBO managed to pull one back but Rostron's side held on thanks to a fantastic performance by right-back Taylor Gildea who took the man-of-the-match award.
"It was a fiercely competitive game and it was all one-way traffic in the first half but it was a very feisty game overall," said Rostron.
Fourth-placed Little Lever extended their winning run to five games with a hard-fought victory over Old Mancunians.
Lee Buckley's side came from a goal down to take the points with strikes from Scott Bingham and Ashley Williams either side of half time.
"It was a real battling and fighting team performance, so it was great to come out on top," Buckley said.

Town in "impossible" situation
11:23am Wednesday 5th March 2014
11:23am Wednesday 5th March 2014
DUDLEY Town has been left in an "impossible" situation, according to chairman Steve Austin.
Austin has temporarily appointed the club's youth coaches to manage the first team after losing boss Andy Wyton and 14 players to Midland Alliance neighbours Gornal Athletic.
Dudley have also had to fast track youth players to the first team to deal with the problem.
A young Town team lost 9-1 on Saturday after travelling to Malvern in the West Midlands League.
He said: "I have been left with an impossible situation. I have been stripped of a manager and a playing squad and have had to throw in youth players to try and cope.
"We are just taking it game by game at present as I have been left in an untenable situation.
"In my 38 years at the club, I have never known a situation as bad as this. It is very disappointing.
However, Austin was keen to praise the youth players and the coaches that have stepped in to try and steady the ship.
"The biggest positive from all of this is that youth players are getting first team opportunities that they wouldn't normally get.
"It is a steep learning curve for them and it was men against boys at times on Saturday. But they had a much better second half and grew as the game went on. I am full of praise for what they are doing.
"I just want to thank them and the senior youth coaches for how they are dealing with such a difficult time for all of us."
Austin also revealed that the club has had seven applications for the manager's position and will be carrying out interviews in the next fortnight.
He also reiterated that he was in no rush to appoint a new manager until the right person was available.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/7/2013 (1499 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It wasn't a fairy-tale ending but the tears shed by a Winnipeg mother on Thursday were those of joy, regardless.
Only minutes before a group of the mother's family and friends were about to conduct a search of the West End for her missing 12-year-old daughter, who had been missing for more than a week, city police announced she had been located.
"We found her," said the visibly relieved mother when she arrived at a park where the search for her daughter had been ready to begin when news arrived that the girl had been discovered. "She's not hurt. I'm just really happy she's alive and well."
According to the mother, police found her daughter in a hotel room with a man known to authorities. He was arrested.
The names of people involved can't be reported because the child remains in the care of Child and Family Services.
The mother said the daughter refused to look at her when the two were reunited Thursday morning.
"She's in a shell right now," the mother said. "She's not listening to anybody. But we'll work on it. I'm just going to take whatever help I can get to enable her to feel like herself again.
"She's lost a lot of weight," the mother added. "She was in the same clothes as when she left. She was probably refusing to come back (home) because she knows how much trouble she's in."
The mother had launched a public search for her daughter.
The mother said she was compelled to take matters into her own hands because of what she called the lack of information from local police. She said while police called her every morning, they never told her where they were searching or who they might suspect was involved, if anyone.
"That's what made it so hard for me, to sit at home and wait," the mother said. "That's why I took those steps because I had no idea what they (police) were doing."
Still, the mother was grateful her daughter was recovered by the WPS Missing Persons Unit. She was also thankful for the friends and family members who were prepared to begin the search Thursday.
The mother said she was still emotional on Thursday because her daughter's "not home yet."
"The toughest part was probably the ifs and the maybes," the mother added. "It was really hard to stay positive. I left my Facebook page up all night. I left my cellphone on. I even slept with my front door unlocked, so maybe she might try to sneak in."

In a move to further diversify the Bamford family of companies, Bamford Produce recently bought half of the outstanding shares of Bay Growers Inc.
Led by president Steve Bamford, the family of companies includes Fresh Advancements, an importer and wholesaler at the Ontario Food Terminal, and Freshline Foods, a processor of fruits and vegetables, according to the company website.
Bamford Produce is a foodservice distribution company based in Mississauga, Ontario.
"We had been looking for something for more than a year," Bamford said. "We started talking to Bay Growers in the fall. It was the right time for both companies.
"The leadership at Bay Growers was one of the main reasons we decided we wanted to become involved."
Bamford said it is too soon to know what kind of volume Bay Growers will provide to Bamford this year because of the devastating freeze in late April that took out much of the Ontario apple crop.
Bay Growers Inc., Clarksburg, Ontario, is an apple grower-packer in the Georgian Bay area of the province. General manager Jim Dolmer told the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association that Bamford's purchase of half of the Bay Growers outstanding shares is good news.
Dolmer said a late April freeze that took out much of the Ontario apple crop this spring made the sale of shares even more welcome news. He said Bay Growers planted new Honeycrisp, gala and Ambrosia trees this spring in its own efforts to diversify.

Gone Fishin'
|Part 2: So much gear seems overstuffed with features we don't need—someone else does.
Hillars could fish or sit back and gab with me because this skipper had already figured out his new tools. The captain used the sounder to track where we were in relation to the continental shelf below and the searchlight to find bait bunches. Note that looking sideways with sonar pings is notoriously tricky. As Hillars says, "There's a substantial learning curve to the image interpretation," and Eric Kunz, who I spoke to subsequently as a representative of chief sonar competitor Furuno, agrees, noting how searchlight sonar scans much more slowly than radar and at a variable horizontal angle. In our case, that angle had to be set just so to avoid chatter off the surface, and the little baits were still a bit vague even at a few hundred yards. But, by golly, that machine helped catch fish. At least once during my time on the bridge, we got a strike the instant we dragged our own baits through a sonar-located bunch.
I also learned that the skipper had found the sonar effective for exploring Mexican backwaters in search of good places to anchor and deploy the yacht's flats-fishing tender, but the transducer had to be hydraulically retracted at speeds over 15 knots for its safety. Hillars explained that Simrad can supply low-profile "podded" transducers that are more suitable for gunkholing and collision avoidance. He also said that a SL35 costs around $30,000, which does not include the monitor, but does come with his expert services and a money-back guarantee—less the substantial installation cost, of course.
That's when I thought to my Scotch-blooded self how difficult it must be for the owner of a boat like this to budget equipment, especially if one's skipper is as electronically inquisitive as the guy running this high liner. You see, I'd heard him talking about upgrading the already superb sounder to one of Simrad's ES series, which use a split transducer to estimate target fish sizes, even species and biomass tonnage; and he also wants a CM60 which can automatically build high-resolution 3D bathy maps as he fishes. It seemed that Simrad had found the perfect skipper to show off its gear, but actually more impressive was learning that he had become a fan by his own process of trial-and-error.
For me the trip was full of lessons about using electronics in unfamiliar ways, which in turn suggested why so much gear seems overstuffed with features we don't need—someone else does. An example besides those "oddly" used plotters included a VHF direction finder, an exotic item I'd only seen before on search-and-rescue boats. The skipper explained how he could use it, combined with radar, to locate another fisherman who might brag, even hint, that he's on big ones. Tricky! During those hours on the flying bridge, I was also vividly reminded about how important human skills are to a winning strategy. Despite all the fabulous electronics humming away, the truly intense processing—the putting together of screen images and fishing history, even catching the glint of a marlin's tail—was going on under the skipper's cap. I believe that's true whether the goal is catching billfish or avoiding ledges.

Montero's heroics leave D-backs atop seesaw affair
After bullpen squanders lead, catcher's two-run hit beats Tigers
PHOENIX -- David Peralta tied a D-backs club record with two triples Tuesday night at Chase Field.
Both times he came around to score with runs that were a key to Arizona's 5-4 victory over the American League Central-leading Tigers, but it was Miguel Montero's two-run, two-out bases loaded single on an 0-2 pitch in the bottom of the eighth that proved decisive.
"I was just trying to stay with it, I'd never seen this guy before," said Montero about the at-bat against left-hander Ian Krol, who was brought in to face the lefty hitter after relievers Phil Coke and Al Alburquerque walked the bases loaded. "His first couple of pitches caught me off guard a little bit because they were sneaky. But I wasn't going to strike out looking, so I had to be ready to swing. And lucky enough I got the base hit up the middle."
The Tigers had come back from a 3-2 deficit to take a 4-3 lead in the top of the inning. The big hit was Torii Hunter's two-out, bases-loaded single off D-backs reliever Brad Ziegler, who said he was fine, but a little sore after being hit in the chest by a hard smash back to the mound two at-bats earlier.
Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 24th save, walking Miguel Cabrera on four pitches with two out to pitch to Don Kelly.
"Was I pitching carefully to him? Don Kelly or Miguel Cabrera, who would you rather face? What do you think?" Reed said, smiling.
The D-backs didn't want any part of Cabrera and Kelly had a near single to right stopped by diving second baseman Aaron Hill, whose one-hop throw was scooped up by first baseman Paul Goldschmidt to end a chiller of a game.
The D-backs, now 44-57, have won four out of five on this homestand since the All-Star break, and are playing with panache.
"That game was an interesting game," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "There were a lot of swings in it just with the moves that were made."
Back to the triples. Five D-backs have tripled twice in a game six times, the most recent time by Montero in a 5-4 win over the Dodgers on Sept. 26, 2010. Tony Womack did it twice in the early years of the franchise's existence.
In another quirk of history, the D-backs have won all six games when one of their players accomplished the feat.
"Those triples really hurt," said Tigers starter Rick Porcello, who was yanked for pinch-hitter Rajai Davis with the bases loaded and two out in the eighth inning even though he was cruising along at only 77 pitches. "Those were tough. Especially with less than two outs, trying to keep them from driving it in. It's a tough thing to do. And Hill did a nice job in both at-bats driving him in. That was really it. Those two guys got me."
Davis, by the way, struck out looking against Eury De La Rosa after going up 3-0 on the count.
Peralta tripled with one out in the third and scored on Hill's sacrifice fly. He did it again to open the sixth and then came home on Hill's infield grounder. The rookie scored for the third time in the eighth after reaching on a walk, coming around for the winning run on Montero's hit.
Hill, who drove in the first three runs, hit his eighth homer of year with one out in the first. As a member of the Blue Jays, Hill had seen Porcello before.
"It's been a few years," he said. "He's had some success with his sinker and we talked about it in our meeting earlier. Try to see the ball up. He also has a good slider, obviously. Hopefully you get something you can handle. Peralta did a great job and some things went our way. It was a great game."

Brady Christensen, Class of 2011
September 23, 2010
Filed in Profiles
Biology Major
Medina, Ohio
Brady Christensen hopes to become a doctor in the future, so he has performed volunteer work at Springfield Regional Hospital while studying at Wittenberg University to gain as much practical undergraduate experience as possible. Fittingly, Christensen decided to fulfill his university-mandated community service project there as well, contributing his time and talents to help Springfield become a better place to live.
"I am applying to medical schools next year and there are a certain number of hours spent in a hospital in order to apply," Christensen said. "I volunteer at Medina Hospital during the summer and at High Street during the school year. It worked out for my schedule to complete community service at the hospital while I was there already."
Springfield Regional is building a new hospital in downtown Springfield and recently merged the services of Mercy Medical Center, adjacent to Wittenberg's campus on Fountain Avenue, and Community Hospital on East High Street. Naturally, there have been many logistical challenges as Springfield prepares for one large hospital that will replace two existing facilities by 2012.
"I have been working during the transfer," Christensen said. "There have been two differences. The first is that there are more volunteers who have moved over to High Street. They are now learning the layout of their new environment, but they are mostly the same type of person, hard working and out-going.
"The second is that we had to move our office in order to make room for employees from Mercy to move to High Street. All in all, the transition didn't affect the volunteers all that much."
Through his work in the patient services office, Christensen interacts with a wide range of community members who also volunteer at the hospital. He has learned a great deal about them and himself in the process.
"These volunteers have taught me many things," he said. "These Springfielders are at least twice my age and they are always moving. They say, 'Well, I'm here, I might as well work.' It could be 3:59 p.m., and our shift ends at 4, and they will take a call to discharge.
"People like them have taught me to work hard, even if you're not being paid. I also interact with patients a great deal and the nursing staff is another large group of community members that I interact with. It seems they always have an answer to one of my questions."
Christensen explained that since he was young he has always found it difficult to ask others for help, but he has learned that in a hospital setting there is no room for such weakness.
"The [work at the] hospital has taught me that it's okay to ask questions or ask for help," he said. "The first time I went on a run-along, I had to ask a nurse where I was, and I also took a wrong elevator. Now that I have spent seven months in the hospital, I don't get lost any more, but there are still plenty of questions to ask and plenty of nurses with answers."
He added that learning to multi-task, problem-solve and manage time have become unexpected benefits of both his volunteer and service work.
"I think that as a volunteer at the hospital there are many things to do and usually there are not enough people to help," Christensen said. "With so many tasks, it is more efficient to look around and perhaps complete one task while on your way to complete another."
Performing work in the patient services office, his responsibilities included discharging patients in wheelchairs, transporting patients to have tests taken, organizing paperwork and mailings for the hospital, and delivering charts and other papers to nursing stations. The hours he works and the tasks he performs will go on his resume, and the volunteer coordinator may serve as a reference.
"I believe that I have helped Springfield Regional with an attitude that promotes learning and trying to do my best and do it right the first time," Christensen said. "It is very easy to get such an attitude while working with so many great people in the volunteer office. They all have the same value of hard work and they pass it to others without knowing."
Christensen continues to plan ahead, preparing for graduation in May 2011 by completing an internship with an orthopedic surgeon last summer while preparing medical school applications. On campus, Christensen has participated in a program that trains and socializes service dogs for 4 Paws for Ability, a service dog placement agency in nearby Xenia. He can often be seen around campus with his dog, Rupee, a golden-doodle that is being trained to assist a young child in the future.
Despite his extensive classroom and volunteer commitments, Christensen is a three-year letterwinner with the Tiger men's lacrosse team. He is making a significant impact there as well, helping the Tigers to their first-ever North Coast Athletic Conference championship in 2010.

The three forwards have an average age of under 22 but McClean has already represented the Republic of Ireland at senior level, while Manchester United loanee Powell and McManaman have both caught the eye on the grand stage in Wembley finals over the past two seasons.
Given centre-forwards Grant Holt and Marc-Antoine Fortune have missed Latics' last two encounters through injury, Coyle, himself a former striker, is keen to help his youngsters fulfil their potential in the final third.
"Those are three exciting players but also young players so within that they have scope to improve and get better," said Coyle.
"Having been up there myself I really look forward to the challenge of getting the best out of those exciting players, bringing them on, being pleasing on the eye but also being match-winners at the top of the pitch.
"As a manager I'm a footballer lover and as much as I'd like to see good players - and they're certainly that - they bring with that youth natural enthusiasm.
"When they've got that, and the way they get about the game and the pace they play, that has a natural knock-on effect to everybody else."

A mosaic unveiled on the 10th anniversary of arts group Fusion Arts has been damaged.
The installation, outside the group's headquarters in Eden Street, had been in place for just weeks before its demise.
Artist Ann Bubis said said she thought late-night passers-by had caused the damage.
She added: "It took me two months to create and make. It's sad because they've taken the creative ideas away.
"Some of it was done by children - they were the starting point. There's lots of stories about Kingston.
"It would be nice if we were a bit more of a caring society."

THE global launch of a revolutionary refuse vehicle was kept on track with help from an Evesham marketing business.
Areca Design, who are based in the town's Abbey Gate, was commissioned by Spanish-based municipal vehicle manufacturing organisation RosRoca to provide a high-quality setting for the unveiling of a concept vehicle at IFAT 2014 in Munich.
The company also created a suitable environment for clients to visit and discuss new and ongoing contracts at the world's largest municipal industry exhibition.
Managing director Mick Hurst said: "The five months of concept, design and thorough preparation leading up to the event meant that the five days of IFAT was reasonably stress-free.
"Of course there were challenges of multi-languages and international logistics, however the very positive feedback from RosRoca, Dennis Eagle and the other group businesses made the hard work worthwhile."
Mr Hurst added: "Although we support many clients with their exhibition requirements here in the UK, from simple roller banners to turn-key major exhibition stands, having the opportunity to successfully deliver such a large project overseas will hopefully lead to more international work in the future."
RosRoca customers travelled from as far afield as Eastern Russia, Malaysia, India and across Europe for their chance to meet their regions RosRoca representatives and senior directors.
The all-electric dustcart was developed by Midlands-based Dennis Eagle and motor research institute MIRA.

FENNVILLE, Mich. - Tiny Fennville, Mich., is getting ready for high school basketball season, nine months after tragedy struck.
Wes Leonard made a game-winning shot to lift his beloved Blackhawks to a 20-0 record on March 3, then collapsed seconds later. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but he died of what the medical examiner later determined was cardiac arrest due to an enlarged heart.
Leonard's 14-year-old brother, Mitchell, is a freshman on the team that plays its first game of the season at home Tuesday night. He got a clean bill of health last spring.
Leonard's mother, Jocelyn Leonard, wants defibrillators at every school to help prevent similar tragedies. A bill requiring public schools to have the devices was introduced in the Michigan Senate last month.
