Mac Murdo and Howe Islands #
The coastlines of many of these islands are occupied by giant kelp beds. The surface wave pattern that travels southeastward along the gray-blue ocean surface and through the kelp beds is visible due to sunglint, the mirror-like reflection of sunlight off the water.
The sunglint also improves the identification of the kelp beds by creating a different water texture between the dark vegetation and the reflective ocean surface.

THREE drug smugglers were jailed for a total of 33 years after they tried to smuggle high-quality cocaine into the UK on board a luxury cruise liner.
Thomas Kelly, Gary Power and Ian Rodaway posed as well-heeled passengers aboard the Cunard liner Caronia during a two-month luxury cruise.
But when they arrived at Southampton at the end of their voyage, customs officers found #750,000 worth of cocaine in secret compartments in suit carriers.
The men are believed to have picked up the 12.5 kg (27.5lbs) haul from the island of Curacao, near the Venezuelan coast, where the liner stopped during a cruise which included visits to Barbados, St Lucia and Panama.
Tests later revealed that 8.4 kilogrammes of the total haul was 100% pure.
The three men pleaded guilty to drug smuggling charges and were yesterday sentenced at Southampton crown court.
The court heard how Kelly, 36, from Chatham Street, Kensington, Power, 33, from Catharine Street, Toxteth, and Rodaway, 34, from Netherwood Road, Norris Green paid nearly #14,000 for the trip.
They hired wood-panelled luxury cabins and ran up a #1,000 bill as they mingled with millionaires in the ship's five-star dining room.
The 668-passenger liner has a grand ballroom, library with more than 400 books, business centre, spa and gym, five-star dining room, and numerous cocktail lounges.
In December 2002 Power went to a firm of travel agents and handed over #13,980 in cash from a black briefcase for two cabins aboard the flagship Caronia, which was due to leave Southampton on January 10.
When the ship docked at the Caribbean Island of Curacao, near Venezuela, the three men went ashore and returned with the suit carriers, which they told the security officer contained T-shirts and cards.
However, it was not the first time Kelly or Power had been to the port. Weeks before the cruise, they had flown there, via Amsterdam, for a short visit.
The men's luggage were seized as the Caronia arrived back in Southampton on March 11.
The prosecution said the suit carriers looked suspiciously thick and Rodaway's was giving off a strong chemical smell.
Judge John Boggis QC jailed Kelly for 12 years and Power for 11.
Rodaway, a landscape gardener, was jailed for ten years after the Crown accepted he had not helped in the organisation but was merely a courier.
Customs and excise spokesperson Amanda Spencer warned future passengers on cruise liners to be vigilant.
She said: "The length of these sentences show just how seriously Customs and the courts take the smuggling drugs. The cruise will be the last holiday these men take for a long time."
In 1998 the Cunard liner Vitafjord was renamed Caronia by deputy prime minister John Prescott in a high-profile ceremony in the Mersey.
A spokesman for Cunard said: "Security on board Cunard liners is always very vigilant and has been increased in recent years."

Listening Tips
- Skills for the Listening Module
In the IELTS Listening Module, the recording is played once only. You must, therefore, use a number of strategies to help you listen closely. There are a few main skills you will need to do well in the IELTS Listening Module:
Understanding the instructions
Instructions are both written on the question paper and spoken on the tape. Read and listen to every word in the instructions very carefully. Ensure that you follow them exactly and answer in the correct way.
Previewing and predicting
An announcer will briefly outline:
the topic
who is talking
the situation.
- Try to listen carefully, as this will help you to preview the questions.
Before the recording begins for each section, you will be given up to 30 seconds to read and become familiar with the questions. Use this time efficiently so that you can prepare yourself to listen for the information you need.
- Study the question carefully and try to predict what type of answer is required. For example, will it be a date, a name or maybe a number?
- Check the differences between similar-looking pictures or diagrams.
- Look for minor details such as different numbers or omissions.
- In addition to the 30 seconds before each section, you will also be given 30 seconds after each section to look over your answers. If you are satisfied with your answers in the section you have just finished, move on to the next section and use the full 60 seconds for previewing.
Listening for specific information
- Use of previewing and predicting skills will help you listen for the specific information you need to answer the questions in the Listening Module. Listening for key words and common connective words often helps to signal the specific information that you need in order to answer the question. Make sure that, while you are actually writing your answers, you continue to listen to the information given in the recordings as there will not be a second opportunity to hear it.
Checking and rewriting
- You are given about 30 seconds after each section to check your answers. Check that all your answers correspond with the given instructions.
- Make sure that you have answered every question. Marks are not deducted for incorrect answers so, if you are unsure of a particular answer, you should guess by writing down what you think is the most likely answer.
- Check that you have included only what is necessary in the answer. At the end of the Listening Module, you are given about 10 minutes to transfer your answers from the question paper onto the answer sheet. Scan your answers to ensure that you have transferred them correctly so that the number on the question paper corresponds with the number on the answer sheet. Be especially careful when transferring answers from tables as sometimes the items are not linearly ordered.

State of the Union's unspoken fashion rule: Women in Congress, dress like gumdrops.
The Washington Post comments on the wide variety of outfits seen on women at the State of the Union address. There is clearly no standard for women (whereas every man is wearing a neutral colored suit). Is this okay?
Should these political women be dressing so that they stand out in bright orange, red, purple, green, blue, etc.?

Digital Paper devices have 13.3-inch flexible e-ink displays with 1600x1200 resolution, 3GB internal storage (with microSD slot for more), Wi-Fi support, a battery that lasts over three weeks on average and a design that is just 6.8mm thick and 0.79 pounds heavy.
The device also has optical and active digitizer touchscreens for both finger and stylus inputs. You can mark documents right on the screen, although the device shockingly only supports PDFs. Even with Wi-Fi ability, there is no way to add an email client or other apps.
Sony will sell the Digital Paper through document management company Worlddox for the hefty price tag of $1100, even more expensive than the highest capacity 4G-capable iPad Air.

My mom is doing some amazing bead work. one time when I went with her to the beads store, I saw a small box/cabinet that the store used to store (no pun intended) the beads in, and thought it would make for a great way for my my to have all her beads organized – and I can make it.
After completing my handtool box (at least the general construction of if) it made me think that I can scale it down and use the same 'general design idea' for the beads box. plus some additions that will fit the situation.
As opposed to using box-joints (that I used for the handtools cabinet) I will be using dovetails on this one to give it a more presentational look, and I will also introduce a (maybe hidden) drawer on the lower part of this box.
Question: since I will not cut through all the way to separate the doors from the base of the box – it makes more sense to me to use a bandsaw for that cut -and "cut around" the door opening parts (leaving the lower drawer parts still attached to the main box) but since the box is quite large (12×10x10) it might be impossible to keep those cuts straight and perpendicular to the other parts… in which case a table saw would be a more precise way to go about -but that means I'll have to completely separate the front of the box and then reattach the front pieces that are NOT part of the doors back to the main box – does anyone have any suggestions which saw I should use? (I'm leaning toward the table saw, and reattaching the cutouts back)
Goals – making a functional/presentational box for my mom, and while at it – practicing dovetails, and box making. drawer fitting, drawer lining, and everything else that will comes along with it.
-- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Adults 65 and older who binge drink at least twice a month are two-and-a-half times more likely to suffer cognitive and memory declines, compared with seniors who don't binge drink, according to research presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference.
The study followed 5,075 adults ages 65 and older for eight years. The researchers found 4.3 percent of men and 0.5 percent of women reported binge drinking twice a month or more, USA Today reports. An additional 8.3 percent of men and 1.5 percent of women reported binge drinking once a month or more. The study defined binge drinking as having four or more drinks on one occasion.
Lead researcher Dr. Iain Lang of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom noted in a news release that it is not clear whether binge drinking in older adults has a damaging effect on a person's cognitive health, or whether it increases the risk of developing dementia.
He noted that the research suggests older people and their doctors should be aware that binge drinking may increase their risk of cognitive decline and should be encouraged to change their drinking behaviors accordingly. "Policymakers and public health specialists should know that binge drinking is not just a problem among adolescents and younger adults; we have to start thinking about older people when we are planning interventions to reduce binge drinking," Lang added.
Another study presented at the conference found moderate consumption of alcohol did not protect the mental functions of older women. The study included 1,306 women ages 65 and older, who were followed for 20 years.

4 Potentially Dangerous Holiday Decorations
This time of year, many people start looking for holiday decorating ideas that are more natural and eco-friendly. Using plants from the garden or forest to decorate your home provides a natural holiday feeling (and fragrance) that can't be beat. Unfortunately, some popular holiday plants that look great adorning your mantle or staircase can actually be quite toxic to young children and pets.
It's important to learn more about the plants that can be poisonous to both people and pets so that you can make sure to place them out of reach of little fingers and paws, or avoid bringing them into your home altogether.
Up First – Holly Berries…
Holly Berries (Ilex species) are an iconic holiday decoration (it even has it's own carol!) and is popular for its dark green leaves and bright red berries. However, eating these can cause vomiting, diarrhea, dermatitis and stupor. While the effects are likely to be mild, since the berries are quite bitter and usually aren't eaten in large quantities, a sick child or pet could be an unpleasant holiday interruption. Keep them high up on mantles or bookshelves to avoid incident.
Next up – Mistletoe…

Mistletoe (Phoradendron species) is a favorite decoration for encouraging a kiss between sweethearts during the holidays. Few are aware that eating just a few berries can result in vomiting, diarrhea and moderate stomach and intestinal pain. In severe cases there may be labored breathing, dramatically lowered blood pressure, and heart failure. Make sure you keep the mistletoe hanging high and out of the reach of kids or pets.

Next up – Ivy Foliage…
Ivy Foliage (Hedera helix) is also a beloved holiday green because it looks lovely when mixed in with fir boughs and holly. However, research has shown that ivy berries contain saponins which can cause a burning sensation in the throat and gastronomical upset with vomiting and diarrhea. If you're already using a non-toxic green to spruce up your mantle, it might be better to leave this one outside

Poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima) are a staple of holiday decorating, but for years, people have been warned that so much as a nibble of the leaves or flower could be lethally poisonous. Care2′s Melissa Breyer has gathered together a bunch of information to bust this myth, but you should still be careful when decorating with these bright red plants. The Mayo Clinic reports that "contact with the sap of a poinsettia plant may cause a mild, itchy rash. If this happens, wash the affected area with soap and water and apply a cool compress to ease itching." This type of reaction is more likely with a person with a latex allergy.

Reports: Singer Amy Winehouse Found Dead In Apartment
According to several reports today, British singer Amy Winehouse has died at age 27.
Several London newspapers, including Sky News, Sunday Mirror and Daily Mail are confirming that the singer was found dead in her apartment in Camden Square in North London.
Reports first surfaced from Sky News, whose sources say police are treating the death as "unexplained."
According to Reuters, a Winehouse spokesman has yet to confirm her death.

Sreng Meng Srun/Phnom Penh Post
Cambodia's Phoung Soksana (right) controls the ball in front of Malaysia's Mohammed Affize Faisal Mamat during their friendly match at Olympic Stadium on Saturday.
Malaysia's SEA Games gold-medal-winning team played well within themselves to beat Cambodia's U21 side 1-0 in a friendly fixture at Olympic Stadium on Saturday.
With national coach Lee Tae Hoon of South Korea testing out new formations ahead of Cambodia's trip to Brunei next month for an U21 regional tournament, the match-up against a decidedly strong Malaysian side had its benefits for the home team.
The visitors had a dominant first half with some crisp passing and movement from their newly formed squad that included four 18-year-olds.
But it was Tum Saray's costly miss that stood out like a sore thumb in the first half of intense play, which saw Prak Mony Udom come up with several pleasing crosses.
Tum Saray was bang in front of an open Malaysian goal but unaccountably delayed taking a shot, allowing Mohammed Shahril Saari to come up with a save in the nick of time.
As if to punish this extraordinary miss, Malaysia found the net off the next counter-attack. Following a chain of three passes down the left, the ball eventually reached Izuan Solahuddin, who fired home assuredly from 10 metres out.
Armed with that first goal, Malaysia went for Cambodia's throat with renewed vigour, although the home backline and goalkeeper Sor Sophea managed to keep the tourists at bay.
On the break, Tum Saray came close to an equaliser in the 76th minute, but his less-than-firm strike from the top of the box gave enough time for defender Nazirul Naim Che Hashim to come up with a goal-line clearance. That effectively shut down the Kingdom's hopes of sharing the honours.
Coach Lee Tae Hoon made six substitutions during the game, but none of them provided any telling fire-power. Frontliner Phoung Soksana often found himself either isolated or off-side.
Lee Tae Hoon made a defensive substitution in the 28th minute, replacing central defender Naeng Chenla with Moul Daravoan, who struck an impressive partnership with the experienced Sok Rithy.
Malaysia played confidently and defended well throughout and richly deserved their victory.
After the contest, Lee singled out midfielder Chhun Sothearath and defender Sok Rithy for special praise. "Tum Saray played well but lacked confidence when it came to the finish. The team needs more training and more experience," the coach said.
His Malaysian counterpart, Ong Kim Swee, said his team had played at a good tempo and rhythm, and noted the game was very good experience for his players and excellent prepar-ation for their entry to the upcoming Singapore S-League.
The Malaysian coach also commended the Cambodian side, saying that more experience would definitely bring better results.
Two more friendlies in the lead-up to the Brunei trip have been scheduled against a Korean University side at the Olympic Stadium on January 27 and 29. Both matches are set to kick off at 4pm.

I've been sitting around with these photos of Goa for a while, which turns out is a good thing cause now I have the material for a quickie post. Perks of procrastination.
If you didn't know, Goa is a small state off the western coast of India, bordering the Arabian sea. It's famous for its beautiful beaches, spice farms, vast jungles, and rich history. We stayed at the Park Hyatt which was one of the most beautiful hotels/ resorts I have ever vacationed at. Random fact-- they had their own mini spice farm and vegetable garden where they grew ingredients used in their own restaurants.
Besides for relaxing at the hotel (their beach + pool were fabulous), we also visited some of the local public beaches and two of Goa's biggest cities, Panjim and Margao, to get a taste of the local culture. Goa is the only Indian state with a Portuguese history, and their influence is very much prevalent in the Goanese architecture and cuisine (the latter of which I admit to not being a fan of.)
It's also the home to numerous churches. Even though I'm not the most devout person, being Hindu and Indian are hand in hand for me. Obviously I am aware that people of all religions exist in India, but it was just a different experience to be in a place in India with much more religious diversity than I was used to. Especially coming from Kolkata where there's a temple or some figure of a deity on every street!
Anyways, here are my snaps from the few days we spent in Goa.

I have been fortunate enough to travel a little bit, more by design than by choice and over the years, one picks up certain whims and fancies. Travelling by Business Class being one of them, not for its elitist value, but for its comfort especially on flights longer than four hours.
Just this past week, I had the chance to fly Virgin Upper Class from London Heathrow to Miami and it was a very pleasant experience.
Unlike the USA based airlines where the flight attendants on long haul flights are senior stewards who has seen them all, the young, energetic and enthusiastic virginn crowd was welcome. the seats were well designed and each had its own private cubicle, so that the entire flight could be immersed in privacy, another of the qualities one desires on long haul flights. Not this, Hi.. where you from? what you do? kind of superficial chatting..it must say something about my reluctance to engage in conversations on long haul flights, that in the hudnreds of long haul flights i have taken, i cant remember meeting any one that interesting...the disadvantage of flying business class or first class is that the company usually is dull.. businessmen with numbers on their heads and dollar signs for eyes..
this flight was exceptionally smooth, arriving early in Miami with a few bumps on the way down. the cuisine could have been better, but good champagne and a nice white from Mendoza. the variety of entertainment was truly staggering and I enjoyed watching a movie, which i normally dont do on long flights. all in all a very pleasant experience..

Where Men Win Glory is the third of my "military kick" books. This is the story of Pat Tillman, a man who gave up an NFL contract to join the Army Rangers after September 11th. Krakauer gives a lot of background into Tillman's career in the NFL before he joined the Army as well as background about events leading up to the current political climate of the middle east. The heart of the story though, is about Tillman's time in Afghanistan as an Army Ranger and his untimely death, first said to be from enemy combatants but later revealed to be from friendly fire. Krakauer investigates how the story was covered up but later exposed.
Of the three military books I've read this year (including Generation Kill and Lone Survivor), this is my least favorite. But that's not to say I didn't enjoy it. It just had drier moments and a bit more of a reporting feel to it, versus a story-telling feel. But like the other books, it's an important tale from modern history and another way to try and understand why our military is in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
While trying to find an image of the book, I found a really good review (much better than mine). So if you want to know more about this book, check out this reader's blog.
The Hubs' take: "It's a good story that told the truth." While he found it "inspirational," he said it makes you mad at the military.

Her backyard is gorgeous, too, and a result of many, many hours of hard work. We could sit out here and eat lunch, but we can rarely tear ourselves away from our projects long enough to do it, although last Tuesday when the temps got up in the mid 90s we did sit for awhile in the shade and had a nice, breeze to cool us.
And, we have a couple of mascots, although I could only get one of them to pose for me. Here's Mason... isn't he the cutest thing?
We always have some good treats on hand...
2-Zip Hipsters... Stacey's, Jane's & Pat A's (we have two Pat's in our group, although we sometimes refer to one of them as Grannie).
More fabric baskets... Jane's (getting just a little carried away) and Stacey's (this is her second one).
And then there is this... Stacey's Moose Rag quilt. The cutest rag quilt I've ever seen.
As I said, we quilt/sew in Jane's garage. She's converted it into her studio and it's set up quite well to accommodate all of us. We can sit and sew to our heart's content all the while being able to look out over the Conejo Valley or retreat into her backyard to relax. It's heavenly. I didn't get photos of the entire garage, but I did get Pat A's area in which she is auditioning fabrics for her newest quilt.
And Pat P is making Noodlehead's Super Tote. Great fabric choices, don't you think?
Take care,

In the early '80s this was a public awareness campaign (similar to the anti-drug DARE) that taught kids about the danger of strangers. The package included a filmstrip, textbooks, and little buttons of Patch that warned strangers to "stay, stay away," or possibly to remind us when we were wearing them to stay away from strangers. And really, Patch looks cuddly, but if you're a stranger, are you gonna mess with a red horse with a never-explained badass patch on his eye? He probably lost that eye fighting off strangers, or possibly a gang of evil unicorns. Here's the full, original, 17-minute "sound filmstrip."

(Part two of a two-part guest commentary by William E. May, Ph.D.)
In yesterday's commentary, I noted that many elderly people, when interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, were horrified at the thought of lingering unconsciousness. As one of them said, "My pleasure is in being part of the human race. If that's gone, if I can't interact with other people, even if they could give me nutrition and keep me hydrated, I'm not interested in being preserved." I also noted that for many years I shared this point of view and thought that using various tubes to feed and hydrate permanently unconscious persons, i.e., those in the "permanent vegetative state," was morally repugnant and imposed cruel burdens on them and their families.
Thus in a book published in 1977, Human Existence, Medicine and Ethics: Reflections on Human Life, I claimed, in commenting on the celebrated case of Karen Ann Quinlan, that there was no obligation "to use the means currently employed to prolong her death" and that it would be morally permissible for her parents and others to "remove the tubes necessary for her feeding, prevent dehydration by appropriate medical means, and attend to her in her dying moments" (pp. 150-51). But in 1985, a study group of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences released a report on this matter and in its "Medical Guidelines" declared: "If the patient is in a permanent, irreversible coma, as far as can be foreseen, treatment is not required, but all care should be lavished on him, including feeding" (emphasis added). This made me begin to reconsider the position I had taken in 1977.
In 1986, Rev. William Gallagher, then president of the Pope John XXIII Center (now the National Catholic Bioethics Center), asked me to gather a group of moral theologians, philosophers, lawyers, medical doctors and nurses to study the issues involved in providing food and hydration to the permanently unconscious and other vulnerable persons. I succeeded in getting the following persons to meet at the Catholic University of America once a week for six weeks: Benedict Ashley, O.P., Robert Barry, O.P., Msgr. Orville Griese, Germain Grisez, Brian Johnstone, C.Ss.R., Thomas Marzen, J.D., Bishop James McHugh, S.T.D., Gilbert Meilaender, Ph. D., Mark Siegler, M.D. and Msgr. William Smith. Some nurses who had spent hours caring for "vegetative" patients attended some sessions and made us aware of their experience.
PVS patients are not dying or in danger of imminent death
Reflections from Dr. Siegler, study of relevant medical literature and the testimony of the nurses taught the theologians, philosophers and lawyers of our group that individuals in this condition are not suffering from a "fatal" pathology, as some theologians claimed. Rather, they are in a relatively stable condition and can live an indefinite period of time so long as they receive food and hydration. If they are not fed, they die of starvation and dehydration. We also learned that at the beginning they are capable of swallowing; however, feeding them orally is time-consuming and the use of tubes to feed them lightens the burdens of their caregivers; as this continues, their ability to swallow atrophies. We also learned that the cost of feeding them is minimal—more money is spent on pet food than on the nutrition these persons need. Moreover, they do not have to be kept in expensive institutions but can be cared for at home if there is someone there to provide care who can be helped by visiting nurses, etc. I learned from one of my students that his brother, alleged to be "vegetative," was in fact being cared for in his home by his mother and siblings. Some 20 years later, I was informed recently, this student's brother regained consciousness and was delighted then to be home with his loved ones who had given him such loving care.
As a result of this new knowledge, based on medical and scientific studies and not on the opinions of theologians, two of us (Germain Grisez and I) changed our minds. Prior to these meetings we had thought—and taught—that tubally providing such persons with food and nutrition was not morally appropriate because it was relatively useless and unduly burdensome. All those who took part in our meetings and discussions—with one exception—collaborated in writing an essay listing me as principal author, "Feeding and Hydrating the Permanently Unconscious and Other Vulnerable Persons" and published in Issues in Law & Medicine, Vol. 3, No. 2 in 1987. The essay concluded:
[I]n the ordinary circumstances of life in our society today, it is not morally right, nor ought it to be legally permissible, to withhold or withdraw nutrition and hydration provided by artificial means to the permanently unconscious or other categories of seriously debilitated but nonterminal persons. Rather, food and fluids are universally needed for the preservation of life, and can generally be provided without the burdens and expense of more aggressive means of supporting life. Therefore, both morality and law should recognize a strong presumption in favor of their use (p. 211).
Benedict Ashley, another member of the group who had previously judged it not morally required to provide food and hydration by tubal means, did not change his mind and accordingly did not sign this document. Here I will not give all the reasons he and his colleague Kevin O'Rourke, O.P. used to justify their conclusion that there was no moral obligation to preserve the lives of the "permanently unconscious" by feeding them tubally. [1] One of their major reasons, however, was that permanently unconscious persons are suffering from a fatal pathology. But, as we have seen, medical scientists disagree with them here.
The issue debated
From the 1980s through the rest of the twentieth century there was a vigorous debate among authorities, Catholic and otherwise, over the proper moral way to treat patients in the "vegetative" state. In fact, Catholic bishops disagreed on the matter, as did theologians, philosophers, and bioethicists, whether Catholic or non-Catholic. Thus, for instance, the Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a pastoral letter in May 1990, claiming that there is no moral obligation to feed and hydrate such persons because this treatment is burdensome and futile ("On Withdrawing Artificial Nutrition and Hydration," May 7, 1990, in Origins: NC News Service 20 (1990) 53-55). However, the Committee for Pro-Life Activities of the NCCB issued a document in 1992, "Nutrition and Hydration: Moral and Pastoral Reflections" in Origins: NC News Service 21 (1992) 705-711. In it, they said: "We hold for a presumption in favor of providing medically assisted nutrition and hydration to patients who need it, which presumption would yield in cases where such procedures have no medically reasonable hope of sustaining life or pose excessive risks or burdens." John Paul II singled out this statement for praise in a talk to a group of U.S. bishops on their ad limina visit to the Vatican in 1998. The Pennsylvania Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a lengthy document, filled with references to medical literature, "Nutrition and Hydration: Moral Considerations," in Origins: NC News Service 21, 542-553, in 1992 that was similar to that of the Committee for Pro-Life Activities. In it they wrote: "As a general conclusion, in almost every instance there is an obligation to continue supplying nutrition and hydration to the unconscious patient. There are situations in which this is not the case [e.g., when the patient can no longer assimilate the food and its provision is hence useless], but these are exceptions and should not be made into the rule." In their judgment, artificially providing food to PVS patients is "clearly beneficial in terms of preservation of life," nor does it, in almost every case, add a "serious burden." Consequently, it is morally obligatory.
John Paul sought to end this debate with his "Address to Participants in the International Congress on 'Life-Sustaining Treatments and the Vegetative State: Scientific Advance and Ethical Dilemmas.'" [2] His address was shaped by the scientific papers given at that Congress, which showed that persons alleged to be vegetative were frequently misdiagnosed and that some gave incontrovertible evidence that they were conscious and aware. John Paul held that feeding and hydrating them tubally is morally required unless one can show that doing so is futile and unduly burdensome. His address was defended vigorously in a 2007 document of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which included a remarkable commentary. [3] Although some theologians repudiate his teaching, [4] scientific studies and sound moral reasoning support it.
[1] I summarize and criticize the criteria Ashley and O'Rourke use for distinguishing between ordinary/proportionate (morally required) and extraordinary/disproportionate (not required) and their application of these criteria to the tubal feeding of the "vegetative" in "Catholic Bioethics and the Gift of Human Life" (2nd ed.: Huntington, IN: Our Sunday Visitor, 2003), pp. 278-280 and 288-291.

Its remarkable commentary is accessible at http://wf-f.org/CDF_Nutrition&Hydration.html .
[4] Several Catholic bioethicists, among them Lisa Cahill, James Walter, Thomas Shannon and John Tuohey strongly took John Paul to task, claiming his teaching was not in harmony with traditional Catholic principles and that it imposed cruel burdens on people. I show how wrong these claims are in Catholic Bioethics, pp. 292-296.

In many areas, 2009 sucked profoundly — bad economy, disillusioning health-scare debate, the Yankees winning the World Series again. But at the movies, things were better.
Some years, the last film or two on my Top 10 list just filled out space; this year, I agonized over terrific films that didn't quite make the cut. If you're looking for entertainment and dramatic tension over the next few months, these movies could fill your Netflix queue with an embarrassment of riches.
10. Zombieland: Screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick created a drop-dead hilarious script about a zombie apocalypse that forces nerdy college student Jesse Eisenberg and gun-toting hardass Woody Harrelson to join forces. Terrifically entertaining on a moment-to-moment basis, it features the year's most inspired cameo performance — which I won't spoil, even if imdb.com does.
9. Me and Orson Welles: Director Richard Linklater's adaptation of Robert Kaplow's novel about a high school senior (Zac Efron) working with Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre company in 1937 New York is a delight, both as coming-of-age story and backstage farce. But the real revelation is Christian McKay, whose spot-on impersonation of Welles also captures both the brilliance and unrepentant narcissism of the legendary actor in a way that makes him fascinating even when he's loathsome.
8. The Hurt Locker: At times just a series of set pieces about the chaotic unpredictability of 21st-century warfare, director Kathryn Bigelow's battlefield drama is nevertheless heart-in-your-throat gripping. Jeremy Renner's terrific performance as an adrenaline-junkie bomb-squad technician in Iraq generally captures the twisted psychology of guys who embrace the possibility of death in order to survive.
7. Revanche: Writer/director Götz Spielmann's drama deals with guilt and revenge in a way that's restrained yet thoroughly engrossing. Johannes Krisch provides the strongest moments as an Austrian small-time criminal who botches a robbery, then turns his anger on the cop who foiled him. Even while chopping wood, he's one of the most densely complex screen characters you'll find this year.
6. In the Loop: If it were nothing more than its blistering collection of profanities and insults, it would still be a laugh-till-you-cry gem. But this spin-off from the British TV series The Thick of It also captures the tragic reality of life-and-death political decision-making turned into the stuff of petty turf wars and pissing matches, anchored by Peter Capaldi's snarling performance as a British government bureaucrat.
5. Anvil! The Story of Anvil: The two "heroes" of Sacha Gervasi's documentary — charter members of an influential, never-quite-popular Canadian heavy metal band — are fully aware they've become a real-life This Is Spinal Tap. But this affectionate portrait shows these middle-aged headbangers embracing their identity, in a story that becomes an almost heroic portrait of guys who don't know how to give up on their dreams.
4. Sita Sings the Blues: It adds to the story to note that writer/director Nina Paley created this wild blend of conventional hand-drawn animation, rotoscoping and CGI alone on her home computer. But the film isn't wondrous because it's a one-woman show; it's because Paley takes elements that don't seem to belong together — forgotten jazz recordings, Indian mythology, contemporary romantic heartbreak — and makes them feel like part of a perfect whole.
3. Humpday: Writer/director Lynn Shelton's high-concept comedy premise — two old college buddies make a dare/pact to have sex together on video for an amateur porn contest — turns into a brilliant exploration of men who don't have the emotional vocabulary to share that they matter to each other. Perfectly performed by Mark Duplass, Joshua Leonard and, particularly, Alycia Delmore as the sane center of a nutty triangle.
2. Where the Wild Things Are: Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers' adaptation of the beloved children's book has polarized critics and audiences. For my two cents, it's a staggeringly heartfelt exploration of the tangled emotions children sometimes deal with through play. Messy, unsettling and truly visionary filmmaking.
1. Fantastic Mr. Fox: Always a filmmaker fond of self-contained cinematic worlds, Wes Anderson finds the perfect outlet for his vision in this stop-motion tale that loosely adapts Roald Dahl's story. The production's tactile delights are matched by a brilliant script, hilarious vocal performances and a sneaky use of the old "be true to yourself" kid-flick trope. In the lingo of the film, it's cussin' perfect.

Free school meals for infants 'could help tackle obesity crisis'
Scrapping free school meals for infants would be "short-sighted" because the scheme could help alleviate the obesity crisis, a group of leading doctors has warned.
The claim, made in a letter to the Sunday Times, comes amid reports the Government is considering dropping the policy, which was introduced last September by the coalition.
Professor Baroness Hollins, a former president of the British Medical Association, and Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, are among 40 leading figures calling for the meals to be protected from cuts.
Free school meals for infants were introduced last September
The letter, which is also signed by representatives of charities Diabetes UK and the National Obesity Forum, said: "With one in three children leaving primary school overweight or obese, ensuring a nutritionally balanced school lunch has never been so important.
"A free school meals policy could end up paying for itself many times over and reduce the spiralling costs to the NHS of treating obesity and other diet-related illnesses. It would surely be short-sighted to cut the funding in November's spending review.
"We see the provision of a free healthy school lunch for infants as the bedrock of a transformative childhood obesity strategy - a strategy that also tackles the marketing and pricing of less healthy food and drink and boosts' schools' teaching of food education."
Only 1% of packed lunches meet nutritional standards for schools, the letter said, adding children who were overweight face health risks such as asthma, early signs of heart disease and poor mental health.
The Government has not confirmed if it is looking into whether to continue the scheme, which is available to all children in England in the first three years of school.
The news met with criticism from the Liberal Democrats, who introduced the policy, as well as celebrity chef and healthy eating campaigner Jamie Oliver, who said scrapping free meals would be "a disaster".
A Government spokesman said: "We believe that every child, regardless of their background, should have the same opportunities.
"That is at the heart of what we are doing with school food - no child should be hindered because they are not eating a nutritious meal at lunchtime."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

So it turns out that the skin rash I developed was caused by the medicine they gave me for my bladder infection, not a sun-allergy. After 3 days of being broken out, I finally put two-and-two together, and looked at the bottle of medicine to see side effects. It said if you break out in a skin rash, to call the doctor. Unfortunately, it was Friday night, so I had to call the "On-Call" doctor. He told me to hold off on the medicine, and that the first dose probably killed the infection anyway. As soon as I stopped taking it, I stopped breaking out. Whaddya know?
We booked a room for the weekend of our anniversary at the Virginia Crossings Resort (YAY!). We got the "Romance Package", which includes chocolate dipped strawberries, champagne, dinner for 2, breakfast in bed, and a late checkout. I'm quite excited! The resort is not far from where we live - maybe about 15 minutes - so we will need to find some other things to do around town that weekend. I love wineries, so we may hit one or two of those. They have a pool, golf, and a few other things to do at the resort as well. There is also King's Dominion, but I'm not a roller-coaster rider, and I think its kind of a crappy theme park anyway. Besides, it will be hot and crowded.
I must start making plans for our trip to Cali in July. My responsibility is to schedule our days in Los Angeles. I've printed some "suggested itineraries" from Frommers, but I haven't taken the time to sit down and plan everything out. The trip to Cali is the weekend after our anniversary, so its going to be a busy time for us. If anyone has suggestions, let me know.

This website is about very early retirement and financial freedom, with a pinch of stoic minimalism and just the right amount of frugality. I started this journey in December 2014. You can join me and see when i will reach my goal. you can learn from my mistakes or give me the tips and tricks. Good luck and good journey.

Financial freedom - how do I start?
Trying to reconsider my portfolio, I was just asking some of my friends about some ideas. Sadly enough, many of them proposed simplistic solution, and I would often tell them, is this what you would do if you were in my place? My understanding that we need a real financial education seems more needed than ever. But the thing is, that so many think they already know everything they need to know, and despite this, they do not act upon it. They just react to the environment. And this little difference is what we make us to reach financial independence, to retire early, and to enjoy many years of happy, fulfilled life. Being active instead of reactive is all we need. When someone see my results and ask for help, I advice my trademark beginner strategy. Save enough cash to cover 6 months of basic expenses and buy a piggy bank and save something daily in it. At the end of the month, just take whatever you saved and put it in a savings account. Why I do this? Easy, saving a six months basic expenses will make you to feel committed and ready to tackle the issue of your financial freedom, while building the habit of regular saving is also helped by the daily piggy bank deposit, even if it is only 0.01 per day. The habit is the goal, not the saving per se. Later, when this is already part of your normal life, we can start to make a plan. Most of the times, saving 30-50% of your income is not only recommended, but also possible, and the final goal is within your reach. Five to ten years later, you are financially independent. End of the project. And then the real adventure begin.

Riot police were yesterday forced to intervene after a crowd of over fifteen thousand hysterical women caused chaos at the gala opening of a new World of Warcraft store in Chelmsford, attended by some of the industry's biggest stars.
The arrival of five time 'Orc-Master,' and twenty-five stone hunk Hamish 'Grease-Face' Sinclair created a surge on the barriers which saw over fifteen girls treated by the St John's Ambulance for minor injuries whilst another, unnamed female was arrested after stripping naked and skirting around a police cordon to literally throw herself at the feet of the current 'Thor's Axe' holder Neville 'BO' Westone.
On the A12 road to London, traffic ground to a halt after one misguided teen stood atop a bridge and threatened to throw herself off unless she received a phone call from her idol, Iron-Mallet hall of fame inductee Fromsworth 'Mummy's Boy' Beeblehump.
Mr Beeblehump subsequently obliged the girl with a five minute call during which he promised to send her a signed photo of his 'plasma dwarf' if she promised to come down.
Forced to wear earplugs in order to cope with the deafening screams, the Chief Constable of Essex Police Wallington Timoutbar later admitted it had been a mistake to allow so many of the reclusive sociopath sex gods to congregate in the same place at any given time.
Said Mr Timoutbar; "With hindsight we should of course have realised that the presence of such charismatic, go-getting pussy magnets could only have led to disaster and we are now expecting a surge in divorce rates and demand for midwifery services after a multitude of our fair womenfolk become pregnant just by looking at these studs."
In other news a fire which broke out in a discothèque before spreading to a nearby Taco Bell restaurant was last night being blamed on a 'high voltage' surge originating from the Gates of Hell night club in the city's east end.

An online diary recording my work as a composer and writer in Houston, Texas and beyond . . .

The Other Shoe
Last week's shows at The Tank were a blast. I have to give full props to Movement Pants Dance (Adrian, Anne, Chris, Nasim, and Rebecca) for presenting a truly magical evening of dance, clown and mask, and theater. Audiences at The Tank seemed especially receptive to Adrian's vision and on top of that, I received some very nice compliments regarding the score for La Spectra. So thanks everyone who came out.
Spring and on into Summer is going to be busy. I've just begun a score for choreographer Sasha Soreff for her upcoming evening length work The Other Shoe. Rehearsals are underway and I am scribbling furiously in the proverbial musical sketchbooks (i.e. a big black notebook, notation paper, Ableton Live, FL studio, the Kaoss pad, etc). I will post more about this score as it evolves. It will be a prerecorded score featuring guest musicians. Sasha's conceptual premise for The Other Shoe is how we humans choose to live with or let go of fear.
Performances of The Other Shoe will be at the Ailey Citicorp Theater (NYC) June 25 though June 28. More details to come.
On July 10 and 11 we'll present Music For Silent Films at Live With Animals. For this popular event, the musicians improvise live soundtracks to accompany a varied program contemporary silent films. The core group of improvisers includes myself (laptop), Lewis 'Flip' Barnes (trumpet), and Lynn Wright. Guitarist Stan Smith will be joining us for these shows. Other guests to be announced. Our colleciton of films continues to grow and we will be screening a lot of new works at these shows.
More mundane news...enjoying John Brackett's new book on the music of John Zorn, can't stop listening to Bob Dylan (Time Out Of Mind, Modern Times, the new one comes out today...), and am grateful for the change in the weather.

Not to keep harping on this (my God, did I really just say that???) -- sounds like we are lamenting that our marketing never ends and it requires a lot to maintain the balance between doing the good work and then actually getting it OUT there. And remembering we need to get it out there -- I so relate to that.
Speaking of, a producer / composer / arranger friend of mine joined Reverbnation and has acquired a ton of work from it. Are you a member? (I am not...). Apparently much of what you do on this site feeds into MySpace, so less updating stops to make.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be evaluated in several methods. The patient may be asked to determine illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in several methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased significantly.
Nevertheless, it should be well remembered that a client with an eye issue might have other issues too. Typically other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can inform the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
One's dependence on sight is emphasized when one deals with a possible or short-term long-term loss of this important sense. When corrective procedures are sought, certain types of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with the truth that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were developed to motivate decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea site are completely transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgical treatment is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals should know. Most likely, the main reason this kind why not check here of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is because many of its cases had actually achieved success.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be extremely dangerous.
Simply puts, a easy mistake could nearly cause an individual's lifetime loss of sight. It is crucial to consider many factors prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right corrective procedure one has to go through.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK eye surgical treatment might remedy your vision but it does not necessarily suggest that it can provide you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have ideal vision as well.
Given all these things, it can find this be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not always be the perfect eye surgical treatment the way a lot of individuals view it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. It must be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can signal the patient and the doctor to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction.
2 Facts You Do Not Have Information With Respect To LASIK Eye Surgery
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the response of the student to light and accommodation.

Thor Hushovd: "I started fast, but not full on, from the river I went 100% to the finish, I could not have gone one second faster. For me, I think I did the perfect time trial. To win the prologue you have to have great form, and I've been confident for the past two weeks, I think this is my best form ever. I am surprised to win, I knew from my fifth place in Lige I could win and now I've shown that given the form I can win time trials.
"It will be important for the team to defend the jersey for the next few days. Tomorrow we'll let a few guys go and then the team will get behind them and chase, no doubt with the other sprinters' teams as well, and I'm sure it will be a sprint and we'll see who's fastest. My goal is still to win a sprint stage to show that I'm one of the best sprinters."
George Hincapie: "It's very disappointing, I was really gunning for this prologue, I felt like I had a good shot. I was maybe in a too big a gear over the last 500 metres, but Thor did an amazing ride and he deserves the win. I went out on the route this morning and I think that recon was critical, I knew I had to take some risks on the corners. I felt like I did the corners well.
"With any Tour you get stir crazy just sitting around for the three or four days beforehand, so it's good to get the first day behind me and just a shame I didn't get the win. Hopefully one of those will come in the next couple of weeks. Now I'm just going to take things day by day, I've never been a possible contender. I don't even know what my chances are but I know I'm in my best shape ever and I'm just going to do my best. Maybe by tonight when things have settled down I'll be a bit happier with my second place."
David Millar: "I've got to be happy just to be here and feeling that good all the way round. It feels right being here, this is something I've been dreaming about, I'm living a dream. Ecstatic."
Alejandro Valverde: "I think the prologue went extremely well for me, but I've still got to take things bit by bit, there's still a lot of Tour ahead of us. There may be no clear patron, but there are some very strong teams, one of which is Discovery."
Cadel Evans: "The Tour's under way and the prologue didn't go too badly. For the next week I'm just hoping there won't be any problems for me personally. There will be some exciting racing ahead that's for sure."
What they said
Thor Hushovd is surprised but felt he could win, Hincapie is disappointed but congratulates 'amazing

This is the amount of time, besides waiting for the stores to open for me to get my new computer. I apologize to people who have been worried about me being missing. Nothing tragic except my beloved laptop has passed away. Please take a moment of silence. It lived a nice long life and even though I have joked on this blog about it having one foot in the afterlife, I am sad. What I especially sad about is that there are two documents on there that I want to retrieve. The first is one of my wips called Saddle Up. I started it and then it just wasn't flowing, so I stopped writing it. But that does not mean that I want to abandon all 5K of what has already been written. I might get the itch to finish it one day. The other is the book Adrift from my friend Amber Skyze. I barely had started reading it when the laptop gasped its last breathe. I am a little upset about this but I am sure that I will figure something out. Maybe I can re-download it from Loose Id?
Things have been quiet in the house since all of the blow ups last week. Isn't amazing how money, or even anticipated money can settle everything down. I have decided not to go to Georgia this week for the conference even though I was looking forward to some alone time. I have to make a decision that benefited my home life and I don't regret it. I just don't think that it was the right time for me to be away for four nights.
So this will be one of the last posts on a dinosaur of a computer that was purchased in 2002. At this point, I am just happy that it is operational and pray that it lasts this way until tomorrow.
Still haven't heard anything about the manuscript from that one editor or any other publishing houses that I sent it to. This type of waiting is crazy. I don't know how all of you survive it.

We as writers tend to start a new book and distract ourselves from waiting. I usually get itchy when it nears the response time. If the publisher says 8 weeks I get antsy at around 6 weeks. :)ReplyDelete
Sorry you had to cancel your trip, but if you feel it's for the best, than you did the right thing.
I'm sure you'll miss the laptop but you'll have fun with the new one.
Let me know how you make out with the download. I know EC lets you do that.
RIP, Beloved Laptop. My laptop passed awat this summer. It was a sad event indeed. And now the desktop is slowing down, probabaly from a boken heart that its companion died. I have a bad feeling we'll be putting the desktop down soon as well.ReplyDelete
