Electricity Imperative
"Principle 3 –The most promising method of securing a virtuous people is to elect virtuous leaders." – Found in "The 5000 Year Leap" "Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who…will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man." – Samuel Adams It's final – Missouri will be the 28th Right to Work state. Governor Eric Greitens signed Senate Bill 19 on Monday, and it will become law on August 28, 2017. Most of this week was spent debating the pros and cons of "Project Labor Agreements," (PLAs). Senate Bill 182, prohibiting PLAs for public projects in Missouri, was perfected Wednesday at about 8 p.m. Once enacted, SB 182 could save the state and local governments millions when it is necessary to build schools, roads, or public libraries. Progress was made on important appointments as well. The governor's appointments to the Departments of Natural Resources, Corrections, Agriculture, and Public Safety plus the commissioner of the Office of Administration were confirmed by the Senate. One of my bills that has begun receiving significant media attention is Senate Bill 190. It resulted from exhaustive study, consultation, and exhaustive research both during the summer and since the 2017 legislative session began. You may have already received a robo-call asking you to voice disapproval. I haven't received the call so cannot speak to its content, but as my office receives calls from constituents, we are finding that many are voicing support once the bill is explained. The Senate Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 190 was voted out of the Commerce Committee on Wednesday 9 to 1 and should be on the perfection calendar soon. Because of the hysteria being circulated by those opposed to the bill, I am offering some explanation below. Much of the opposition is due to either a misunderstanding about how electricity rates are set by the Public Service Commission or a lack of full disclosure of information about the public utilities themselves. First of all, contrary to the opinions you may have heard, Senate Bill 190 does not create "automatic increases" in your electric bill. It does create a small surcharge that could add up to 1.2 percent per year to your cost of electricity or about one tenth of one percent per month. It also allows an investment accounting procedure called PISA or plant-in-service-accounting, which should have the effect of freeing up more capital for grid upgrades. It removes none of the Public Service Commission oversight. The current regulatory model was created in...Read More

"The Japanese pianist Kotaro Fukuma, now in his early thirties, begins this impressive album with his own arrangement of Smetana's Vltava...Part of the pleasure of hearing this orchestral tone poem transferred to the keyboard with such aplomb is that one entirely forgets that this is not an original piano piece."
"Fukuma's boldly projected account is despatched with a mischievous twinkle and can take its place alongside Bolet, Hamelin and (the ultimate accolade) Josef Lhévinne, whose final octave bombardment on his (abridged) 1928 classic has been the envy of every pianist since."

This was, then, not merely the official closing statement of a lost war, but the opening pronunciamento of an urgent campaign to maintain imperial control as well as social and political stability in a shattered nation.
The general secretary issued a pronunciamento, in which traditional clotted cliches somehow turned into a kind of poetry, both majestic and absurd.

What's business without a little friendly competition? No matter the size of your business or what industry you're in, you're bound to have a few (or many!) business rivals competing for your customer base. An effective competitive marketing strategy should aim to develop your own unique brand and make your business stand out from the pack. Sometimes this can even involve throwing a little shade at the competition.
[bctt tweet="What's business without a little friendly competition?"]
Ready, Aim, Fire!
So what exactly does throwing shade at your competition entail? We aren't talking bar brawl level fighting here. You should be going after your competition in a way that gives consumers a comparison point to pick you over other businesses. Just be sure to keep it at the friendly competition level rather than attacking another business, because there can be a fine line between rivalry and downright spitefulness.
One of our favorite examples of a flawless competitive marketing strategy is Lane Bryant's #ImNoAngel campaign. The campaign took aim at lingerie company Victoria's Secret and its unrealistic and idealized images of what the perfect body should be. Victoria's Secret Angels are the company's long-legged, toned and tanned lingerie models. With #ImNoAngel, Lane Bryant took a stand against the unrealistic and sometimes unhealthy expectations for women's bodies in our society. The #ImNoAngel ads feature women of all shapes and sizes celebrating their fuller figures. Instead of directly attacking or insulting Victoria's Secret, Lane Bryant kept it classy and focused all the attention on celebrating the beauty of the average woman. As a result, social media is now full of body-positive pictures women across the country have uploaded of themselves with #ImNoAngel. Lane Bryant: 1, Victoria's Secret: 0.
Walking the Line Between Sassy & Snarky
When putting together a competitive marketing campaign, it's important to remember that if done improperly it could backfire. You don't want your company to be perceived as a bully or as offensive. Instead, your campaign should give consumers a comparison point to see why your product or service is superior to the competition. Your campaign should be memorable and invoke a rivalry, but at the same time, you should avoid getting downright mean.
For example, IHOP toed this line perfectly after McDonald's launched its all-day breakfast menu using #AllDayBreakfast. IHOP unleashed a series of tweets poking fun at McDonald's new plan. The all-day breakfast restaurant tweeted, "in other news… we've always had all day breakfast." Later on came the real zinger: "#AllDayBreakfast, WHAT'S GOOD?" Reminiscent of the now-infamous Nicki Minaj-Miley Cyrus feud, this last tweet was a cheeky dig at the fast food chain's attempt to make all-day breakfast seem like a novel idea.

Barbara Fister has a good response to "Truth be Told," the latest report from Project Information Literacy. She asks questions that preoccupy my professional mind quite frequently: "For instructors, this may mean thinking hard about what the purpose of a research assignment is...What, ultimately, will students know, be able to do, and value as a result of the experience?...For librarians...How do we guide them to the best sources when most of our efforts in developing collections has been to simply make them bigger?"
Partly these questions preoccupy me because I'm tasked with things like aligning collection development with learning outcomes in an assessment plan. Partly they preoccupy me because they are enjoyable, fiddly kinds of questions. Mostly they preoccupy me because I like to know what the heck it is that I'm doing. I am responsible for a small library with a small staff and a small space and a small budget. I can burn through the available time and money at an impressive rate. I don't recommend it, though, and even if resources were more abundant, I think I'm a person who is happiest when my work is some recognizable part of a purposeful whole. "I have fun and keep people reasonably pleased" isn't a bad vision for my work, but it is not that compelling, either.

iYellow Wine Club is a large community (close to 10,000 members) where you can connect with fellow wine lovers, taste wines from around the world, and learn about the wines you love. Membership is free, and members receive invitations to a variety of events throughout the year, including classes and wine tours. The class I attended was a part of their Fall curriculum, focusing on local Ontario wines. Naturally, I chose to attend one of the "red" classes, and learned all about "Romantic Red Blends."
Each class is one hour long, and registration is $45. The cost includes generous tastings of 6 wines along with light food pairings. (We had amazing cheeses on our night.) The tastings are led by experienced sommeliers, but are in no way pretentious. Our instructor reminded us that there were no right or wrong answers when it came to what we thought of the wines. Everyone's palate is different. We learned a lot, but we also had a lot of laughs and got a good giggle on. Our table was a wonderful mix of iYellow veterans and newbies, and we had a truly enjoyable evening.
What did I learn about my wine preferences? Well, Merlot grapes are grown in clay soil, with shallow roots. This results in a softer, smooth taste, with low tannins. The Cabernet grapes are grown in gravel soil, with deeper roots. This means more minerality and a more complex flavour. I knew it wasn't all in my head.
I also learned that if an Ontario wine is labelled simply "Cabernet," then it is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. And, according to VQA rules, if a single grape is listed on a label, then the wine must contain at least 85% that grape.
To keep up on all of their offerings, you can follow the iYellow Wine Club on Twitter, or like them on Facebook. If you are thinking of trying one of their wine tours, I suggest you head on over to visit my friend Diana at her blog Toronto Teacher Mom. She'll tell you all about her experience travelling to Niagara with them last weekend.
Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I did receive free registration in a wine class for myself and a friend, so that we could experience and review the offerings. All opinions on this blog, as always, remain my own.

hmm I thought by the world drives people to depression and anxiety it would be more the everyday stuff, the stressful jobs that take all our time, the money and job worries, the stresses of urban life, the time and other pressures that make social connections hard to maintain. Before I was let go from my last job I was reading a book called "Overwhelmed", and that is how I CONSTANTLY felt (was commuting a couple hours a day as well) - constantly feeling overwhelmed. (and yea I may well end up back to that type of crazy again - and that's the better scenario)
I guess I think the day to day experience of life can in many cases contribute to anxiety and depression. And yes fine a political system that can't actually deal with real problems and that seems completely beyond insane does not help, and there is no other way to describe D.C. now, and people do know this. But all the problems in the world that one only reads about are probably just information overload.

The assault on Aldronards grave began, with Juha attempting to scale the wall by rope. He slipped in doing so, unknowingly alerting the Smilers in the towers. As they reached the parapet of the wall, they came under fire from the towers.
Maddie's battlecry sounded out as a bomb miscued, and more pistol shots came from the ground. They broke into the first tower, and took the fight to the ground, while the last smiler guard (in the second gate tower) kept up a steady fire. The smilers on the ground, including their leader Hatchethand, were quickly overwhelmed, but the final guard refused to surrender.
In the end, Camlo smoked him out by setting fire to the floor he was standing on.
Searching the stables (one of the few remaining buildings in the keep) they discovered the remaining members of the garrison, tied up and awaiting the butcher's knife. Freeing them they sought information on Scrapwall. but before going they wandered over to the ruined chapel, where the ghost of Aldronard mistook Maddie for his lost love.
Refusing to forgive the revenant, Maddie forced the group into a fight with the ghost, which they were barely able to win.
Crossing the river to Scrapwall, they were taken to see Sevroth Slaid of the Steel Hawks gang, who attempted to convince them to help her remove her gang leader, the Smiler Birdfood.
This caused a moral dilemma for some of the group, as they do not see themselves as assassins for hire.

Los Angeles County supervisors rejected a plan Tuesday that sought to save inpatient services at the county-run High Desert Hospital by leasing it to a private company.
The county is converting the Lancaster hospital into an ambulatory care clinic, meaning it would only handle minor medical procedures, to save $10 million per year, part of a larger plan to close a projected $1.1-billion budget shortfall in the county health-care system by the 2007-08 fiscal year.
The privatization plan, which failed on a 3-2 vote, would have maintained major hospital services at High Desert by leasing beds to a nonprofit health-care foundation and turning management over to a private physicians group.
An analysis of the plan, released Monday by county health director Thomas Garthwaite, noted that it requires the county to pay $6.7 million during a six-month transition period.

Physician-assisted dying is finally decriminalized in Canada, but many unfair barriers remain. In his latest blog post, Dr. David Amies writes about the current "legal limbo" surrounding assisted dying in Canada and why so many desperately ill Canadians cannot afford to have Bill C-14 passed into law.
June 7, 2016 has dawned, and Canadian citizens can now receive medical aid in dying (MAID) here in Canada.
The circumstances surrounding MAID are by no means as clear as one would have hoped following the Carter decision of February 2015 and the release of the joint parliamentary committee report earlier this year. This lack of clarity stems directly from the hamfistedness of the current government. While one was encouraged by Carter and the committee report, the opposite has been true by Bill C-14 which is presently going through the legislative process.
- Voice Your Choice: Tell your Senators to help fix Bill C-14
- Related: Assisted dying is no longer illegal in Canada
Bill C-14 has been drafted and designed by federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould and federal Health Minister Jane Philpott. Throughout the parliamentary process thus far, the ministers have resisted almost every change put to them by members of the House of Commons, regarding the draft as somehow sacrosanct. Neither of these ministers has control over proceedings in the Senate, which has indicated that it intends to make several amendments. These will then have to be returned to the lower house for further debate.
Conflicting eligibility criteria
The Carter decision was that assisted dying should be available to consenting adults suffering intolerably with a grievous and irremediable medical condition. The ministers decided that this wording was vague and so suggested that MAID should be allowed only to consenting adults in an advanced stage of irreversible decline from a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability, and for whom a natural death is reasonably foreseeable. Personally, I think the wording of Carter has the merit of brevity and the use of fewer descriptors.
So, we have arrived at a period of legal limbo surrounding the matter of physician-assisted dying. The old law has been struck down and no new law is in place. The Senate does not appear to be in any hurry, considering that it is more important to get new law right rather than quickly. How long this murky interval is likely to last is anyone's guess.
Dying With Dignity Canada maintains that it is the right of all mentally competent adults suffering intolerably with serious illness, for which there is no acceptable treatment, to be relieved of their pain and grief with the help of sympathetic health professionals. It makes no distinction between physical and psychological illness. It does not define adulthood in strict terms of age. It sees no merit in arbitrary waiting periods. It respects the rights of health professionals to refuse to take part in MAID, so long as patients are not abandoned.
Bill C-14 is much more restrictive and can be read to mean that only those with terminal conditions are eligible. Thus, those with advanced cancer, likely to die in a matter of days or weeks would qualify, whereas those with advanced neurological or neuromuscular conditions like ALS or multiple sclerosis would not and might be obliged to endure their misery for several more years. Some have argued that the late Kay Carter would not have qualified under the terms of the proposed bill.
'A patchwork situation'
In the absence of federal legislation, a patchwork situation exists across Canada. Spokesmen for the Canadian Medical Association and the Canadian Medical Protective Association are on record as saying that practitioners who carry out MAID could find themselves in criminal hot water. They recommend seeking permission from a superior court judge in order to protect themselves. The various colleges of physicians and surgeons across the country have issued advisories to their members on how they should proceed and have advised caution.
Various constitutional experts maintain that Bill C-14, as presently written, is unconstitutional and almost certain to provoke lengthy, burdensome and expensive legal challenges, precisely what a person seeking to end his or her life because of intolerable suffering needs — NOT!
It is hard to know why the government has produced such a one-eyed bill having been given the freedom by the Supreme Court to deal with the problem in a generous patient-centred fashion. As well, their own joint parliamentary committee made many worthwhile and empathetic recommendations. Everyone must realize, surely, that no one will be forced to seek medical aid in dying and that no practitioner will be obliged to take part. The fundamental idea was that those, who needed and wanted medical assistance to die, should be able to secure it without having to negotiate all kinds of doctrinaire barriers.
Bill C-14 unfairly enforces those barriers. It must be amended immediately — or abandoned.
Dr. David Amies is a retired doctor in Lethbridge, Alta., and a member of DWD Canada's Physicians Advisory Council.

Douglas Adams perhaps reflected all this when he claimed that the word 'belgium' was regarded as a most heinous expletive in parts of the Galaxy except the Earth.
This is an exclusive interview by 2 muslim women in the uk, who air their views and stances on the matter of the veil being banned in Europe (countries such as belgium, france & holland etc .....)

It does? There's more to 'the European continent' than 'Low Germany and the Netherlands'.
Looking at etymonline , "Used for 'Low Germany and the Netherlands'", which describes a number of different countries. The WordNet definition makes sense this time.
True--but where did that "any" come from, anyway? ;-)
Drop "any" and it's right.
WeirdNet again: 'any one of the countries occupying the European continent'. I'm getting very lost.
a curse word in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. "Belgium" is the rudest word in the universe, which is "completely banned in all parts of the Galaxy, except in one part, where they could not possibly know what it means."

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is relatively rare in frequency but one of the intractable diseases linked with asbestos exposure. Clinical outcomes with the present treatment modalities are unsatisfactory and no effective prevention method has been reported. Growing numbers of the patients in the Western countries with a long latent period need development of a novel therapeutic strategy. Gene therapy is a candidate for mesothelioma treatment because of its easy accessibility of a vector-mediated gene medicine into the intrapleural cavity. Several preclinical studies demonstrated that the gene medicine produced antitumor effects, suggesting the feasibility in clinical settings. In this article, we review the current status of gene therapy and clinical trials targeting mesothelioma and address possible directions to improve the efficacy.
Key words: Mesothelioma; Gene therapy; Clinical trial; Adenovirus

The properties and effects of neutral pH hydrogen-enriched electrolyzed water (NHE water) on tumor cells were examined. NHE water diminished hydroxyl radicals as demonstrated by ESR in a cell-free system. Human tongue carcinoma cells HSC-4 were inhibited for either colony formation efficiencies or colony sizes by NHE water without significant inhibition to normal human tongue epithelial-like cells DOK. Furthermore, NHE water caused growth inhibition, cell degeneration, and inhibition of invasion through the reconstituted basement membrane to human fibrosarcoma cells HT-1080. Intracellular oxidants such as hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxides were scavenged in HSC-4 or HT-1080 cells by NHE water. In the human oral cavity, a dissolved hydrogen concentrations (DH) of NHE water was drastically declined from 1.1 to 0.5 ppm, but settled to 0.3-0.4 ppm until 180 s, upon static holding without gargling. Thus, NHE water was shown to achieve tumor-preferential growth inhibition and tumor invasion together with scavenging of intracellular oxidants, and is expected as a preventive material against tumor progression and invasion.

Because of lack of effective treatment options for hormone-refractory prostate cancer at the present time, the need for developing novel therapeutic strategies and targets to treat and prevent the progression of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer to the hormone-refractory stage is paramount. Our previous in vitro studies have shown that curcumin sensitizes both hormone-sensitive and hormone-resistant prostate cancer cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and that combined curcumin/TRAIL treatment induces apoptosis in cancer cells by inhibiting antiapoptotic p-Akt and nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB). In the present study, we demonstrate that curcumin and TRAIL combination regimen is also the most effective treatment for inhibiting the growth of PC3 xenografts compared to curcumin or TRAIL monotherpy. The inhibition of PC3 tumors by combined treatment correlated with significant reduction in expression of p-Akt and NF-kB in tumor tissue. Furthermore, tumor growth inhibition by curcumin/TRAIL combination regimen was associated with significant decrease in cell proliferation and an increase in terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells in the tumors without significant change in microvessel density. Based on the significant efficacy in this preclinical model, combined curcumin/TRAIL regimen may be an effective adjuvant therapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Insulin-like growth factor-II mRNA binding protein 3 (IMP3) is one of the RNA binding proteins implicated in mRNA localization and translational control. It is expressed during embryogenesis, as well as in some malignant tumors. Recent studies suggest its potential use as a prognostic factor or as a therapeutic target in malignancy. Using tissue microarray, we examined the immunohistochemical staining of IMP3 in osteosarcoma cases to evaluate whether it could serve as a prognostic biomarker. In a tissue microarray analysis of 47 paraffin-embedded osteosarcoma cases, 8 (17.02%) were positive for IMP3 immunostaining, and IMP3 expression was correlated with tumor metastasis (p = 0.020). IMP3 expression was independent of survival, tumor site, histologic type, age, and gender. These results suggest that IMP3 could be used as an independent prognostic factor for cases of osteosarcoma with a high potential for metastasis.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a frequently occurring cancer, and despite improvement of its treatment methods, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, the improvement of survival remains poor. Recent advances in molecular biology of human cancer indicated various molecular abnormalities in HNSCC, including activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs). Dickkopf (Dkk)-3 gene is known as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling and is suggested to function as TSG in several kinds of malignancies. We hypothesized that Dkk-3 might play an important role in HNSCC, too. Thus, in the current study, we analyzed allelic alteration of Dkk-3 locus (chromosome 11p15.2) by means of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis. The study population consisted of 50 patients with HNSCC (mean age of 65 years old). Furthermore, we also examined the correlation between LOH findings of Dkk-3 locus with clinicopathological parameters to investigate its use as a biomarker in HNSCC. A remarkable LOH ratio (57%) was detected in the cases studied, implying that Dkk-3 is likely to be involved in HNSCC carcinogenesis. However, interestingly and in contrast to the expectations, we found that the group with LOH of Dkk-3 locus had less lymph node metastasis, and showed a favorable overall survival compared to the patients with retention of Dkk-3 area in survival analysis. These results indicate that Dkk-3 can play a role in HNSCC carcinogenesis with unknown mechanism. Moreover, allelic loss at Dkk-3 locus may also be used as a novel prognostic biomarker in HNSCC.
Key words: Loss of heterozygosity; PCR; Dkk-3; Tumor suppressor gene; Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; 11p15.2

Who is in the mood for a snack? Last night I made some super easy (and totally yummy) "Laraballs" (aka knock off Larabars in the shape of balls. Creative, eh?)
Enjoy- they make a great snack, especially if you're busy and need something to hold you over until your next meal! Pop a couple in a ziplock and throw them in your purse for some 'om nom nom' on the go!


text: So this is my first attempt at posting from my phone while on the go-go. As mentioned a few posts ago, the boyfriend has been enjoying himself in a tropical location for several weeks now on an epic bike trip. The amazing thing is, I'm waiting at the airport for my connecting flight as I'M ABOUT TO GO MEET HIM!!! I know! So since this is a blog about food (and, indirectly, about cycling) I thought I'd try posting this way. I had the longest layover I've ever experienced today (almost 13 hours!) and so I ventured out of the terminal and headed into downtown Seattle for some good eats. I ended up at a place I've been once before, Chaco Canyon Organic Cafe in the University District. Everything on the menu is vegan and organic and there are plenty of gluten-free options as well. I settled on the Hippie Bowl, with perfectly cooked quinoa, shredded carrots, sprouts, tofu, tahini dressing and black sesame seeds. I opted for the large portion so that I could take half with me for dinner. It was scrumptious! I also treated myself to their house juice, a blend of apple, orange and ginger and then I finished off with a coffee and a hazelnut chocolate chip cookie. I didn't get a chance to photograph the cookie because I was too busy eating it. *Cough cough* I will dream about that cookie. That cookie makes all the other cookies in my life jealous and normally I would be sympathetic to other cookies' inferiority complexes but not this time. Because I'm too busy having mouth daydreams. It will have to be recreated. Ok folks, that's all for now. I'm getting a little loopy and I think I'm done eating for the day. Back soon with some exotic photos. "I like piña coladas . . . "

|Professor Wayne Orchiston presenting the participation certificate to Dr. Shahir Akram
On 19 September 2015, ISDEV Senior Lecturer Dr. Shahir Akram Hassan attended the 1st SEAAN Malaysian Astronomical History and Heritage Working Group Meeting. The meeting was held at Sheikh Tahir Astronomy Centre, Pantai Acheh, Balik Pulau, Penang with the theme "Exploring Astronomical Knowledge and Traditions". The meeting was organised by The Southeast Asia Astronomical Network (SEAAN) and National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) with co-operations of Penang State Mufti Department.
According to Dr. Shahir Akram Hassan, this meeting becomes the platform for 20 researchers and students from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) as well as Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) to explore and discuss about the future prospects and possibilities of astronomical knowledge in Malaysia and other Asia Countries.

Questions and answers session come right after the presentations. All participants are very eager to ask questions, giving their comments and views after the end of the presentations. It can be conclude from the meeting that they agreed the meeting will be conducted once a year and will be hosted by other SEAAN country members. They hope more researchers and others who are interested in astronomy and its related field will participate next time. This will enable the development of a collaborative research network in astronomy both regionally and globally.

One of my favorite things about summer is that I finally have the down time to read for pleasure. No more textbooks, no more online readings, just me and a good book. This summer (well now that I am officially a college graduate I guess I can read whenever, but anyways…) I have compiled a list of books that I want to read.
1. Eat Pray Love
I have already tried reading this book, however I only got about a third into it before school started back up. So, the other day I picked it up in hopes of reading it before the movie comes out (starring the ever-fabulous Julia Roberts). I love that this book is about self-indulgence and desire.
2. Water for Elephants
Again, I have heard about this book before but what really made me want to read it is that they are filming the movie right now. Okay, what really truly made me want to read it is that RPattz is going to be in it, and let's be honest, I am only 22-years-old so I am allowed to be on the RPattz train…
3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I have heard really amazing stuff about this book (which is the first book in a trilogy) so I picked it up the other day. Unfortunately it was hard to get into so I put it down and replaced it with Eat Pray Love (I figure I should read it first since I am on a deadline…). BUT I fully intend on picking it up again and powering through the somewhat slow beginning.
4. The third book in The Hunger Games series
The Hunger Games is a series that I began reading a little less than a year ago. I could ramble about it for hours, because it is a really good story, but I won't go there now. Anyways the third and final book in the trilogy comes out in August and I CANNOT wait! I even have a little countdown ticker on my computer for it (NERD, I know), and i am contemplating rereading the first two books in preparation.
So, what books are on YOUR summer reading list? The best beach/pool accessory is a good book (and some SPF!)

As I picked my way along a lane one gleaming, bright day, I heard a rustle of leaves to my right and when I looked, alas, I noticed a bird hobble into my path. This was not just any bird, but a regal bird whose plumage was of the finest ebony, its beady eyes of depthless night. The bird spread its wings and blanketed the lane in shadow. It stretched its neck and ruffled its feathers. It opened its beak and sang a rhapsody of such sadness, such soulless wonder, that I could do nothing but weep.
A cloud drifted across the gleaming orb of celestial gold, and the sky turned grey like bones. The bird, as suddenly as it had appeared, had vanished; yet I remained frightened and alone, as if the bird's very wretched presence was all that could fulfill me.
By happenchance I looked to the ground, and directly where the bird had stood lay a handkerchief, its delicate lace of cruel obsidian drawing me towards it with its infinite gravity. I defied my conscience as I picked it up and smothered my face in its fragile fabric. It was a horrid object, seething with rage and hate, boiling with contempt yet tempered by the gentle whisper of agony. Somehow, somehow, I felt safe with this mercurial tucked discreetly into my sleeve. For this, lace concoction of the horrors of Pandora's Box, borne to me within the adamantine beak of a soulless black bird, was meant for me. The instance that bird had hobbled across my path, my fate had been cast. This terrible handkerchief was mine – a secret to be kept.
It gave me power. It gave me peace. It invigorated me like a drug, my opium of lace. As these strange feelings surged and pulsated through my veins, my eyes glimmered with its thrill. I knew – had I always known? But I knew then: life is better with a secret!
Justification is the easiest part. I thought of Dorian Grey. What life did he experience when he trapped his soul inside its sarcophagus of oil and canvas? What sins did he commit when they bore no witness on the impenetrable façade of his eternally youthful face? This handkerchief was like Dorian's canvas communion. I could do anything – anything! – as long as the handkerchief was on my person.
But one day it was gone, and there was the bird perched in its place. Not crow, not raven, but a bird I had never seen, a phoenix born of dust and shade, nurtured in the oubliette of night. Like before, on that fateful day so many years ago, it opened its taunting beak and trilled a tremolo of such proportion that no amount of tears could express my grief. I was like a ravine, dried, barren, a wasteland.
And then, like shadows chased away by the daunting press of day, everything had gone – the bird, the handkerchief, my youth and all my happiness with it. Now I realize more than ever before… life was better with a secret.

We've had a very successful week. We've really been trying to stick somewhat to our schedule without being so rigid it takes all of the fun out of everything. I am slowly but surely learning balance. That's my new mantra, "All in due time, and with appropriate balance." Lord, help us all. LOL.
We completed our writing assignment on To Kill a Mockingbird, much to Baby Boy's delight. The writing is his least favorite part of anything we do in our home school program. I keep explaining to him how wonderful and fulfilling it is to be able to express yourself clearly and artistically via the written word, but as of yet, he hasn't bought into it. Of course he's actually pretty good, so that frustrates me even more, but what are you going to do? As Moms we're trained to just wait until our young find their own way in life. I try to apply gentle pressure and guidance, and I hope the rest will work itself out.
Baby Boy learned some pretty impressive take down moves in tae kwon do this week. I have a little film, but it isn't of those moves. I usually try to get some photos or even a video or two on the "down low" so as not to interrupt the class. What you see here, is what transpires when a group of teenage boys realize they are being filmed. It's extra silly, so view at your own risk!
Somehow, we also did get to our art project this week. We actually finished the last in a 7 part series of lessons on Color Theory. This week we learned about shading with color. Of course you know I have photos. So without further ado, let me present to you . . .
I did promise Baby Boy that if/when we moved out of the sticks and closer to a town, which we have, we'd get out and do more things with other people. I'm a bit of a recluse and really like wearing pajamas, so that's a promise I will have to work to keep.
So, with that in mind, we tagged along with a homeschooling field trip group and saw a beautiful exhibit at a local art museum called The Virgin, Saints and Angels. If you know me at all, then you'll be aware that I don't really do groups, but since with this particular one I am able to pick and chose what I want to do buffet style instead of honoring a full-time, long-term commitment, then I feel somewhat safe. Also this is a nice inclusive group with no nasty discrimination against people of different religious beliefs, different races, different family lives, or any other differences that seem to reek havoc in our quest to find nice home-schooling families to socialize with. Afterwards we walked over to a social spot and Baby Boy played pool, air hockey, and bowled for a while with some of the other boys. It was a pretty good time. I think we'll have to give them another try in the near future.
We also attended a Barack Obama rally last night that lasted very late into the evening. His speech was so commanding and inspiring. There was music and dancing and a great time was had by all. I'm not going to post any political opinions here, as this isn't that kind of blog, but I did want Baby Boy to experience a little piece of real live history. Whether Barack wins or not, I think it's incredible that a black man has made it this far in the election for the president of the United States. I really want Baby Boy to understand that, when I tell him he can be anything in the world he wants to be, I mean anything. I want him to dream the kind of dreams that have no limits.
Well I rambled on much longer than I intended, as usual.
So, until next time. . .

MOSCOW, November 10 (Itar-Tass) —— Specialists at the Plesetsk space centre in the Arkhangelsk region completed erected at the launch complex Soyuz-2.1a launcher with the Fregat upper stage for the launch of the Meridian spacecraft, an official representative of the Aerospace Defence Colonel Alexei Zolotukhin said on Sunday.
"Today, specialists of the cosmodrome transported and erected Soyuz-2.1a launcher into a starter of pad 43", he said.
After the installation, the staff will conduct a series of tests for components and systems of the carrier and the launching equipment, he added.
"Launch of Soyuz-2.1a with Meridian spacecraft is due on November 14," the official said.
Soyuz-2.1a is a modification of the rocket Soyuz-2, which belongs to a class of three-stage launch vehicles, created on the basis of the Soyuz-U carrier rocket through extensive modernization. The development was produced by TsSKB Progress / Samara /. Payload output of the low Earth orbit is from 2,800 to 9,200 kilograms, depending on the version and the trigger point.
Soyuz-2.1a instead of two analogous control systems has a Russian-made unified digital control system. This has improved significantly injection accuracy, stability and control of the rocket, as well as use of a large nose fairing and, accordingly, increase of payload taken to the orbit. Soyuz-2.1a also uses a new digital radio telemetry system.
Flight tests of Soyuz-2.1a rocket carrier began with the launch from the Plesetsk cosmodrome November 8, 2004.
Meridian dual satellite is designed for both military and civilian purposes. It is made at the Reshetnev enterprise /in the Krasnoyarsk territory/. Meridian is intended to replace the currently used satellites Molniya-1, "Molniya-3K and Parus. Among other things, these spacecrafts will provide communication with on-shore stations for vessels and aircrafts of ice reconnaissance in the area of the Northern Sea Route.
The Plesetsk cosmodrome is a Russian spaceport, located in the Arkhangelsk region, about 800 kilometres north of Moscow and approximately 200 kilometres south of Arkhangelsk.

YMMV, but the chances are they tell you no. Their reason will be they can't PM gift cards/coupons. But they have no reason not to give you the $49.99 price.
Hmm well the thing is they do PM GC, they just deduct the price of what the GC value would be, but since its a sale AND a coupon thats why I would think it is YMMV, but will still check. thanks!

For best printing results turn on "Print background colors and images" in your browser settings.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Buick LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville were redesigned for the 2000 model year, and the Oldsmobile Aurora was redesigned for 2001. All 2000 and later Buick LeSabre models manufactured after April 1999 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. All Bonneville and Aurora models include these same improvements (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of a LeSabre with the structural changes in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier.
The Oldsmobile Aurora was dropped after the 2003 model year, and the Buick LeSabre and Pontiac Bonneville were dropped after the 2005 model year. The LeSabre was replaced by the Buick Lucerne.
Measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that injuries to the head would be possible. Head acceleration from the shoulder belt housing hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the shoulder belt housing.

MMM Nigeria has returned for business, 24 hours ahead of scheduled date.
Participants accounts have been unfrozen.
Nigerians who invested in the Mavrodi Mondial Movement (MMM) Ponzi scheme have gotten a good news after much anticipation.
"This is to officially inform you that MMM Nigeria is open for business a day earlier than promised! Let's go there Nigerians!," MMM wrote on its Twitter account.
"Note that you can now see your available for withdrawal amount but d Get Help button is not active to create GH orders now. Pls be patient!"
"If you have been placed on moratorium & you have done your identity verification, kindly go ahead & create GH order to confirm if lifted, " it tweeted.
The operators of the scheme had in a message sent to all subscribers a month ago said that it was frozen because "in the New Year season the System is experiencing heavy workload."
During the period – December 12 to January 12 – none of the participants was able to 'get help' (withdraw funds deposited with the mandatory 30% interest).
The scheme has more than three million Nigerian subscribers.

The new camera offers a view of the Palazzo Ducale and the roofs in downtown Modena.
The camera is an Axis Communications 206 Network Camera - it's a low-end model but it still does the job.
I mounted it in a waterproof junction box fixed to the satellite dish's pole. The power and shielded TP cable also run in a waterproof conduit.
The FOV is wide enough to include part of the sky (allowing to monitor weather conditions).

About Us
Extinct Animals
Animals that no longer inhabit the planet are considered extinct animals. Modern day extinctions are still happening at a substantial rate as human civilizations are taking over vast amounts of territory and destroying the environment around them. Most extinction that occurs today is a result of manmade consequences more so than natural environmental changes. However, mass extinction events that took place millions of years ago were probably a result of natural ecological transformations. Although scientists are still not completely sure what caused these massive extinctions, evidence found in the fossil records suggest either an asteroid impact, weather changes or volcanic eruptions.
What is Extinction?
Animals are considered extinct when the last remaining member of their specific species dies out & there are no more left on Earth. Causes of extinction include disease, infertility, climate changes, extreme environmental changes or loss of food sources & the destruction of natural habitats. The extinction of a large number of species is called an extinction event. Five extinction events have occurred in Earth's history.
What is the IUCN?
The acronym IUCN stands for The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. It's an internationally founded group that follows animal populations closely. The mission of the organization is to help preserve animal species and allow them to flourish in their natural habitats. It was established in 1948 and is still running today.
Causes of Extinction
Today, many scientists are continuing to debate and add to theories surrounding the exact causes of extinction. The most debatable theories have to do with mass extinction events happening millions of years ago- asteroids, volcanoes or some other type of environmental change seemed to have caused them. Extinctions that occur in our modern times are better understood and are usually easily identifiable.
What are Some Extinct Species?
Throughout the planet's history, billions of species have been lost to mass extinction events, naturally occurring gradual extinction or human caused destructive extinction. Although not every species can be documented and recorded, some species have received a lot of attention due to their unique characteristics, such as size, strength or sheer number of populations that have died out. Furthermore, there are species that are dying out to this very day and are therefore receiving much attention
