Mayawati woos Muslims, other groupsDecember 17th, 2011 - 7:18 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, Dec 17 (IANS) After Brahmins and Dalits, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati is all set to woo Muslims, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas at a mega rally here Sunday, party leaders said.
According to party sources, "members of the three communities will converge at the Ramabai Ambedkar grounds in unprecedented numbers".
"We have been working for this rally for quite sometime and we are confident that the call given by us will draw lakhs of party supporters belonging to these communities," said a party spokesman closely supervising the arrangements for the event.
Heavy police deployment has been planned from Saturday evening as batches of BSP supporters from different corners of the state have started arriving. According to Lucknow's Director General of Police D.K. Thakur, "nearly 10,000 policemen will be on duty to regulate the crowds".
What Mayawati has in store for them remains a mystery, but speculation is that she is likely to make some political announcement Sunday.
Preparations for the rally have been afoot for almost a month and with the final touches now being given, a large part of the state capital is literally painted in BSP's blue.
The nearly 12 km-long route from the chief minister's residence to the venue is flanked by huge blue hoardings, bearing Mayawati's portrait with tiny insets of other leaders like Kanshi Ram, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Jyotiba Phule and Narain Guru.
Each of these countless hoardings bears a standard format with the only difference in the footnote - that carries the name of the sponsor who is invariably a ruling party minister or a party functionary. For a change, some of them have been allowed to print their own pictures on the hoardings - something otherwise banned in the highly regimented party.
Evidently, the sponsors have spared no efforts in driving home the message of the rally to the targeted communities. Even the names of the communities are written in the colours usually representing them. Thus, while "Muslims" is painted in green, "kshatriyas" is in red and "vaishyas" in yellow.
The rally comes close on the heels of last month's Dalit-Brahmin 'bhai-chara' sammelan that drew tremendous crowds.

I always piss off my liberal friends by bagging on Organics. It's a total scam, and not only that, there have been studies done showing that their "safe" pesticides are in way higher amounts than those found in regular veggies. (Their safe pesticides aren't safe in the heavy amounts they have to use due to their ineffacacy.) Besides that organically grown veggies are so wasteful and inefficient, they're not going to feed the world. It's GMO's and high-tech farming that's going to save the day...ReplyDelete

Hey, it ain't easy be'in cheesy.ReplyDelete
Thanks. I am going to get my staples out today (22 of them!) It still hurts a lot more than I expected. I would trade the entire bottle of oxycodone my doctor gave me for some toradol. I would make a horrible drug addict!ReplyDelete
I love junk food, but...I totally believe in organic methods.ReplyDelete
Organic growing is the only method that enriches the earth...that gives back most if not all, what it takes out in the form of produce. If you don't know this, you are ignorant.
GMO's enrich only the company and executives that have made them. They destroy the small farmer financially. Good reading: "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver; "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan.
I don't believe in forced birth control/sterilization/abortion to control population but this is one of our problems. The future will see a smaller population (we're all living in a petri dish and one day will exhaust it's capacity)....only a matter of time.
- Anonymous12:56 PM, August 04, 2009
Want some Organic Goodness, try some Aflatoxin... Or Enterococcus, or Hepatitis C Virus,,, All natural.
You don't believe in Forced Birth Control/Sterilization/Abortion to control the population? How else are ya gonna do it...People figure out those Zyklon B showers aren't for freshening up...
If pathology has to send out "funny looking cells" to a specialist, how long does it take to get the results? Do "funny looking cells" equal possible cancer? I really should have asked more questions.ReplyDelete
As I said, it's only a matter of time before the population issue takes care of itself...ReplyDelete
Not to mention all those who are doing their best to shorten their lives by not practicing preventive health (fast food junkies, smokers, etc)....and another thing to look forward to is complete or near-complete antibiotic resistance. I don't doubt that someday, maybe not in my lifetime (but who knows?) there will be a pandemic that will handle everything.
Illnesses such as Hep C, MRSA, AIDS, can all be avoided by practicing preventive measures (good handwashing, staying out of the hospital by taking care of oneself, monogamy (because condoms are so imperfect), etc)....but people don't do it. We will do ourselves in. I'm not happy about it, but I do expect it. It's just common sense.
Who are you planning to forcibly sterilize/abort? That's just not anyone's job to enforce.....there's no one qualified to do it.
Liz, that's a load of bullshit. The science just doesn't back up what you're saying. You get bonus points for sounding really good and emotional though.ReplyDelete
I see that you have actually nothing to say about the actual methods employed in organic farming or anything particularly nifty to say about the proven inefficiencies of the process. You just think that the normal people in the world are going to stand by and watch babies starve because it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy that mother earth is functioning under a more inefficient process? That's pretty selfish isn't it. How's that religion workin for ya?
Organic farming doesn't enrich the earth any more than regular farming. They use huge amounts of pesticides like rotenone which are deadly to fish, insects(even the pretty friendly ones), etc. But hey! It's natural!
The beauty of hi-tech farming and GMO's combined is that they use miniscule amounts of fertilizers and pesticides compared to either organic or regular farming and they have incredible returns in the amount of food produced.
So producing tons of food to feed starving, and not polluting...but you hate that idea don't you. WHY??? You don't want that really do you? Because you've been taught to fear (and you've been brainwashed.) You're controlled by your fear and your stupid emo-enviro prophets.
Hey Radgirl. So sorry you're hurting. Hoping that path comes out clean.ReplyDelete
You can always tell when your points are scary to others....they start getting snide and snarky.ReplyDelete
You don't have to believe anything that I say. You can take a bath in chemical fertilizers and pesticides if you so choose. I have my own viewpoint and I like to engage in thoughtful debate.
Unfortunately it's just not possible to do so in the blogosphere...because most responders just want to smash any opposing viewpoint.
For myself, I think I see how things work. I'm not romantic about it. I think Nature is stronger than anything humans can come up with.
You don't agree? I don't care!
Have a great day!
Liz, I'm not afriad of your viewpoints. But I do get irritated at the whole holier-than-thou-please-join-my-cult-if-you'd-only-read-what-I-have-then-you'd-finally-get-it attitude.ReplyDelete
Hi-tech farming and GMO's use less pesticides than either organic farming or regular farming. That's protecting the earth and good! It's also good for people. The big farmers like it too because it's less waste and saves them money. So why is this bad? If you want to debate it, adress it. Why is this a bad thing?
Chemical fertilizers and pesticides aren't bad any more than medications are "bad." They are what they are. Toxic in large amounts and very good in the right doses.
And we can at least agree on one point. Nature IS stronger than anything humans can come up with. That's why we don't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of doing anything about climate change. It's been going on for millenia, man's too puny to stop the laws of the universe and arrogant to think that they should try.

I just love it when Amy gets her feathers all ruffled... And Liz, Tobacco's natural last time I checked,,, grows in the ground, just like Marriage-Wana or Peanuts..ReplyDelete
Dear Amy: I think I can produce as many studies (scientific and otherwise) that prove the goodness and efficacy of organic practices as you can produce that "prove" the opposite. I simply don't/won't trust any studies paid for by Monsanto and other giant, non-benevolent, for profit only, corporations. I seek out more moderate/objective proof. But you are as firm in your views as I am in mine...therefore it's not likely to be beneficial to continue this debate.ReplyDelete
Dear Frank:
I never actually stated that tobacco is inherently evil. Or marijuana, or opium poppies. I'm a non-tobacco, non-drug user (but I do like a nice chardonnay or occasional margarita). I actually happen to have a moderately liberal view towards the use of these substances. The trouble with tobacco is that those who use it tend to go overboard by smoking 2+ packs a day (like my Mom, who died of lung CA 19 years ago). The trouble with stronger drugs (including alcohol) is the irresponsible behavior of so many of those who partake.
I am no organic saint. I eat fast food when I want to, not usually more than once a week. I love cheese (full of fat). I love beef and chicken. But I know what makes sense when I see it. Building the soil, returning food waste back to the soil to increase soil health and decreasing the use of chemicals can only be a good thing. What's cheaper and less likely to be carcinogenic.....compost or chemicals? Elementary.
Why is it all or nothing with you people? Geez.
I'm also an avid gardener who has use Miracle-Gro from time to time, and pesticides (not in the last few years, though). As the health of my garden soil has improved, the quality and quantity of the produce has also improved. There are virtually no pests in my garden, therefore I don't need pesticides (the few I do see are easily hand-picked and dispatched, though squirrels and deer are not so easily taken care of...but pesticides wouldn't work on them anyway). Granted, this is my anecdotal experience and not a scientific experiment, but the results speak for themselves.
You're right, if people like you get your way, there will be a Malthusian disaster...
...too bad that it'll mostly be poor Africans(and Indians and Chinese) who die from it, eh? And due to I just can't resist using a leftist tactic...riddle me this...what's your problem with people of color and the poor? And how about you're hatred of the environment(after all, Organic methods have to use more land, say goodbye to more of that sweet amazon)?
If you can't tell, I definitely side with Norman Borlaug on this issue.
P.S. Sorry I havn't been around. The Obama healthcare plan put me into a bit of a depression over the last month, but I'm back and better than ever.
The level of ignorance demonstrated related to organic methods in these comments is pretty amazing!ReplyDelete
Again, it doesn't have to be all or nothing.
Human beings with their chemicals and tinkering and nuclear weapons....that's the problem.
I'm a political conservative, overall...and yet I can see beyond the end of my nose.
Going to have to go with Liz, I think on this one....and NOT just because I am madly in love with an old anarchist punk organic sheep farmer....even though that is part of it....LOLReplyDelete
I, like Jefferson, am a big believer in the small family farm. As an ardent Libertarian, I abhor the concentration of corporate power just as much as the concentration of federal power.....I abhor corporate welfare just as much as "gotta support all my baby's mamas" welfare. What Monsanto is doing in Europe and what they are doing here to family farms is nothing more than thug politics as usual. I mean they even wormed their way into the Cap and Trade fiasco with it's advocating of "no till" farming which will require heaving dependence on pesticides (specifically "Round Up")....which, of course, Monsanto produces.
And I don't have a PhD in agriculture or anything..but making seed saving illegal.....well that does NOT sound like it's in the best interest of saving the Third World.
But in the end..as a Libertarian I will ALWAYS support someone's freedom to do things that I disagree with....so people can have their GMOs and their factory farmed meat.....I don't really care...just don't destroy the small independent family farms in the process.
Small family farms are wonderful. When I garden, I also use almost no pesticides. It's the best way to do it. It is also sad to see small mom and pop farms bite the dust. But, times, economics, and the world change. It just happens.ReplyDelete
As far as seed saving, it's the same thing as with big pharma. Some of those crop varieties cost so much to produce they have to protect their investment or it's not worth it. If they don't get a return, there's no incentive to breed/engineer the bigger, tastier, healthier, more productive, etc. varities.
- PeggyU3:41 PM, August 05, 2009
Radgirl: I hope you are feeling better soon and that your tests come back clean!ReplyDelete
Also, wanted to share something I heard. Apparently the White House website is encouraging people to report back to them the addresses of blogs that are disseminating "disinformation" about Obama's health plan (including the bit about his saying he favored a single payer system). Nice.
Jennifer, thanks for letting me know I'm not alone out here...:D! My son keeps telling me I'm a Libertarian...I guess I might be.ReplyDelete
PeggyU, that's frightening and also not surprising (to me, anyway). I don't like the way things are going, at all.
Amy, I don't like change any more than anybody else but I do acknowledge it's inevitability and try to adapt....It helps that I think there's more to life than this life.
Have a great day, everybody!

"The beauty of hi-tech farming and GMO's combined is that they use miniscule amounts of fertilizers and pesticides compared to either organic or regular farming and they have incredible returns in the amount of food produced."...AmyReplyDelete
Ah, Amy I'm a third generation farmer and I'm going to have to disagree with you on a few points.
Hi tech farming and GMO's use more fertilizers then organic farming. Oh and Hi tech farming and regular farming?...are one and the same.
Supposedly organic farming only uses manure from animals and green manure crops for fertilizing. Oh sure they also supplement with crushed limestone, rock phosphate and other soil admendments. Things that are "naturally" produced.
Hi tech farming or regular farming uses fertilizers that chemically are the same BUT they have been processed and are attached to a salt molecule. (For a more rapid dispersion in the soil.) And over time the soil becomes salty; which taints the soil.
Now at this point I will agree with you... organics will not be able to feed the world. Using organic fertilizers to "balance" the soil is a cumbersome process. The natural fertilzers are basicly rocks. And when they break down they will be able to disperse their nutrition to the plants.
Have you ever seen rocks dissolve? Yeah I didn't think you wanted to wait that long.
Using organic farming to feed the world will cause massive loss of life. But maybe thats the hidden agenda of these liberals.....
But if we continue to look to corporatins to save us and to feed us....
The problem is not black and white. Especially when it involves a multinational corporation that is raping our pocketbooks.
Thanks for the response Steve. You know my Dad used to help my great-grandpa farm about 2000 acres of soybeans when he was a kid. He hated it so much that he became an accountant. I was always so sad about that. They sold the family farm about 10 years ago.ReplyDelete
When I say Hi-tech farming, I'm referring to the use of GPS mapping and soil sampling systems that significantly reduce the amounts of fertilizers applied to fields, thereby reducing runnoff to the watershed. (In college I worked for the USDA in a macroinvertebrate lab, so stream health is always near and dear to my heart.)
GMO varieties are engineered to withstand pests or as the case of BT corn have resistance built into them thereby reducing pesticide use. I can't see how either of these things are bad, although you are absolutely right that it isn't black and white. There are drawbacks to GMO's, but I think their good far outweighs the bad.
How common is farming with the GPS mapping and precision dosing of fertilizers as opposed to the old spray the whole field methods?
Monsanto (among other large corporations) is successfully suing farmers for "stealing" their patented GMO's when farmer's crops are cross pollinated by the wind. Many of these farmers are going out of business.ReplyDelete
Once Monsanto puts all the little guys out of business, the only available seed will be GMO's. This means seed saving will be impossible, small farmers, gardeners, third world farmers....they will all have to purchase seed every year from Monsanto, who can set prices as it sees fit.
Think it can't happen? In England the only seeds lawfully sold are listed on the National Seed List. It costs a lot to secure government approval for a particular seed, so only large corporations are able to secure a place on the list. You're a small farmer with a new variety to market? You're out of luck. Lots of varieties have already been lost. Iraq also has outlawed many varieties of seed, making it illegal to sell, trade, or grow them there. Actually, belonging to the European Union means that only seeds on a country's approved list are legal to sell. This is a direct attack on any citizen's personal freedom to farm, garden, save and/or share seeds with others.
Another danger posed is the threat of worldwide famine. GMO's are resistant to pesticides...but what about the pests that will soon be resistant to pesticides? All it will take to destroy the world's food supply, once it becomes a giant monoculture of GMO's, is one superbug or disease.....Ireland's potato famine redux.
So, GMO's aren't inherently evil....it's how they will be (and are being) used that is the problem. This may all sound farfetched, but it isn't.
I hope it doesn't happen, but I for one will be hoarding heriloom varieties of seeds for the rest of my life.
All right Liz. I can't find ANYTHING talking about Monsanto suing for pollen except on GMO's are going to kill us web sites. There's nothing in the MSM about it.ReplyDelete
As far as your fear of a "monoculture of GMO's", you seem to have an inherent misunderstanding of what GMO's are. They are simply plants with regular old plant DNA in which genes which are pieces of DNA are inserted. Now people get really freaked out about this and I don't understand why.
DNA is DNA. The building blocks of genes are the same from plants to people. It's all in the combinations. The only thing that genetic engineering does is recombine them to cause certain effects in an organism. The organism already has the potential to spontaneously have these traits because the building blocks of DNA are the same.
Here's an example. Scientists thought it'd be really helpful to develop a rice that had natural beta carotene in it to provide better nutrition to impoverished nations inwhich rice makes up a large portion of the diet. They spent tons of money genetically engineering this crop. Wouldn't you know it, somebody went to the rice seed bank, which stores basically every type of rice and natural mutants and they found a little golden rice with a gene that formed spontaneously without the help of man to do the same thing.
This was lucky. Genetic engineering just speeds up natural processes. It's not frigtening. And as far as your fear of monocultures of GMO's. That doesn't even make sense. There are already tons of pests that are resistant to pesticides which is why people keep trying to find new and better ones. That's why the big evil monsanto came up with BT corn. They inserted a portion of a bacteria or fungus(I can't remember) into corn that killed caterpillars so they wouldn't have to use pesticides. Caterpillars being the biggest pests of corn.
As far as Monsanto sueing people over pollen contamination, I agree with you, they get too proprietary. I'm not comfortable with them patenting or copyrighting parts of genomes which has actually been a huge debate. I think if it can spontaneously occur in nature, which every genetic combination can, they shouldn't be able to patent it regardless of how much money they spent to develop it. If your pollen's wafting on a breeze, to me that's reckless abandonment, and maybe that farmer(if in fact he did exist) should have counter-sued them for pollution of his crop with their genes.
Oh, and the National Seed List thing in England probably isn't a monsanto thing, although i'm not arguing that they're saints or anything. England is a socialist nation, how else do you think they're going to make all that tax money if they don't control everything? That's just another way to get their hands into your pocketbook, and I'm sure it could happen. Let's just pray that it won't in America.ReplyDelete
Dear Amy:ReplyDelete
In England the approved seed list was a 1970's condition of joining the EU....so most of Europe is bound by this type of list. Monsanto and the US were directly involved in Iraq's recent outlawing of certain/many varieties of seeds (too many websites to reference, just Google "Iraq Monsanto Bans Seeds"...not much reporting by any mainstream journalist....but journalism today is not what it used to be).
As far as England being a Socialist nation....haven't you heard? The 'esteemed' news magazine, Newsweek, has announced (several weeks ago) that the USA is now a Socialist nation! Yippee!
And, how else do you think we're going to pay for all the universal health care we're promising to provide if not by taxing/controlling the holy crap out of any American with a job....including small business owners and farmers?!
I think I you were just making my point right?ReplyDelete
I totally love the part in a debate when it turns out we've been on the same page all along! Are you kidding?ReplyDelete
But, enough said on this topic for now! Have a great weekend! :D

Workers who took the monument down today were wearing bulletproof vests, military-style helmets and scarves that obscured their faces. Police were also on hand. The mayor commented "we will no longer allow the Confederacy to literally be put on a pedestal in the heart of our city."
Another great reason for this website capturing markers and monuments before they are removed, stolen or destroyed.

Richie Adler (Matthew Laborteaux) lives with his mother and sister; his parents are divorced, and his father works overseas, often in the Middle East, as a telecommunications engineer/consultant to several firms located there. Richie is an advanced computer user with cutting edge skills. Presumably he has inherited these abilities as well as most of his computer equipment from his father. He acquires obsolete equipment that was scheduled to be scrapped and sends it to Richie. He even sends a programmable robot, Herman. Richie collects this equipment and connects and assembles it to form RALF, his pet name for his computer system. RALF has multiple components and capabilities, including a camera which produces a primitive facial identification system.
Richie and his friends come across mysteries which they (mainly Richie) attempt to solve using his computer skills with RALF's power. Guidance is often provided by newspaper reporter Farley (their mentor). The cases often involved money-hungry criminals working inside business or government who would assault and murder people to cover-up their deeds. There were also a few episodes involving spies of the Soviet Union.
Lew Farley (Max Gail) is a reporter for the fictional newspaper the LA Gazette (although on the first episode the reporter is named Gallagher and he is played by Michael Horton). Many of his stories are exposés of crime and corruption. He is well connected and seems to know everyone from gangsters to beat cops to a mysterious patriarch. He has a cantankerous but mutually beneficial relationship with Lieutenant Quinn (A Martinez) who is head of the detective unit, and also married to Farley's sister. Farley was a Vietnam-era anti-war protester who was jailed and beaten on occasion during marches. He was inspired to journalism by a woman whose death he investigates in "The Wrong Mr. Wright".
Farley is somewhat technologically capable (carrying around one of the first laptops ever sold, a Gavilan SC), but he relies on Richie for complicated technical help. He warns the Whiz Kids of danger and helps them when they get in over their heads with criminal elements or with the government. He is often the first person they call when they are trouble, and Richie's mother leans on him as well.
In most episodes, the three groups -- the police (mostly led by Quinn), the media (usually Farley), and the Whiz Kids -- wind up all contributing to cracking a case and in bringing the criminals to justice. Their relationship is often conflicted, as Quinn must keep Farley from getting too much insider information, while Farley and Quinn must keep the kids out of danger. However, each case is never solved by one group alone, and they are all usually forced by circumstance to work together, each drawing on their own particular strengths.
Richie's father is a telecommunications engineer who often works abroad and is mostly absent. He does drop in town occasionally, however. He is well connected in high level Washington political circles, something that Richie's mother alludes to and uses. Richie's mother and father are divorced, but their relationship is portrayed as still positive and friendly. She also keeps his name and refers to herself as Mrs. Adler. She says that she thinks his job-required traveling is what led to their divorce.
Richie's mother is somewhat strict and does not allow his genius level abilities to influence her duty as a mother. She makes him clean up the messes he and his buddies cause with their various hijinks, and she does not let him shirk his schoolwork, chores, or other responsibilities. (Nor does his teacher: in "Red Star Rising", their being applauded by the CIA does not get three of them off the hook for not completing a homework assignment - Alice is spared, since she actually did it!) Richie's little sister Cheryl provides comic relief in most episodes, but she does have a few important scenes of insight or family drama.
There is a slight love triangle between Richie, Ham, and Alice. Alice is a bit of a hacker herself, but she receives little respect or extra attention from Richie, which bothers her greatly. Ham really likes Alice, but she (for the most part) does not return his attentions.
On the whole, the teens do not get a whole lot of character development. Most of the episode time is taken dealing with the complicated plots, criminals exposition, Lew and Quinn, chase scenes, and hacking scenes (which are almost totally focused on Richie). However Jeremy is shown to be rather clever in his own right and the kids are involved in many activities, including go-kart racing, sports, ballet, and music. There is also a bit of a conflict between Richie and the others, as he can sometimes be domineering or arrogant, although they typically reconcile.

I miss my blog!!!
Hello earthlingsss!!!
Its been so so long since i last updated my blog. Its been ages and you could even say that my blog is already ancient. Haha. Well, the reason why i am back is that i suddenly had the urge to open up my old blog just to look at it and reminisce the time that i have spent writing in my blog. Arghh...time sure flies. It seemed like just yesterday i updated my blog and guess what it has been 4 years already!!. I thought that maybe if i feel like it, i would like to use this medium to share more about myself and what i have been up to throughout the last 4 years. I hope i would be able to do so and have fun again talking about the things that i love and the dreams that i have yet to be fulfilled!!. It sure is nice to have a place where i can be myself and share anything without any feeling of anxious or insecure about how people would judge me. Well, i guess thats it for now. I will be back !! But of course no promises 😉😁😁. Everything depends of my level of procrastination! Haha. See you.
Zai Jian xD

Dr. Katherine Albrecht, a consumer advocate and expert on implantable microchip reactions, said that, "Based on the alarming number of microchip-linked cancers we're discovering, I predict this lawsuit will be just the tip of the iceberg."
Chip Me Not reports that there are:
"... [A] growing number of adverse reactions to microchips, including the chip-related cancer deaths of two dogs within the past year."
The reason why this is an important issue is that many predict there will be a massive push by government authorities to microchip humans. Not only will this be a mistake for privacy reasons, but it appears that there are also serious health consequences.
Fortunately, our pets are serving as canaries for this health challenge and providing us with an early warning alert as to what would happen if we choose to get these microchips.
Most humane societies and rescue organizations now require that adopted pets be microchipped, and many veterinarians recommend the chips as well. In all it's estimated that about 5 percent of U.S. pets have microchips, along with countless farm animals, laboratory animals and wild salmon (used to track their movement).
About the size of a grain of rice, pet microchips contain a radio transmitter, an antenna and a computer chip that is read by a scanner, allowing animal control, vets or shelters to obtain owners' information in the event a pet gets lost.
The benefit, of course, is that a lost dog or cat without tags that is picked up by a shelter has a better chance of finding its owner if a microchip is present and scanned. But there are potentially serious drawbacks as well, and chief among them is a concerning number of cases linking the microchips to cancer.
Do Pet Microchips Cause Cancer?
Pharmaceutical giant Merck is being sued over claims that its HomeAgain pet microchip caused cancer in a cat. Two years after the chip was implanted, the cat developed a cancerous tumor at the implant site. The tumor was removed surgically, and the microchip was found embedded in the tumor.
As ChipMeNot.org reported, the cat's veterinarian wrote in the medical record, "The microchip was found at the center of the mass."
This is far from an isolated case.
In 2007, Dr. Katherine Albrecht released an in-depth analysis of animal studies involving microchip implants and found a "clear causal link between microchip implants and cancer in mice and rats," as well as an association with cancer in dogs.
In mice and rats, between 1 percent and 10 percent of the animals developed invasive cancers surrounding or attached to the implant. There have also been two confirmed cases of dogs developing cancer surrounding or attached to the microchip implant.
Dr. Albrecht noted:
"Foreign-body-induced tumors can pose serious threats to animal health. Researchers report that most tumors arising from foreign bodies are malignant mesenchymal neoplasms with a rapid growth rate, killing the animal in a matter of weeks.
Many of the study animals with microchip-associated tumors died prematurely due to the masses. In addition, many of the tumors metastasized, spreading cancer to the lungs, liver, stomach, pancreas, and other organs."
You can read dozens of case histories of dogs, cats, horses and other animals developing tumors at the microchip implant site at ChipMeNot.org.
Pet Microchips Don't Always Work as Advertised
When deciding on any medical procedure, it's wise to weigh the risks versus the benefits. In the case of pet microchips, there appears to be a serious risk of cancer that is still emerging, while the benefit is increasing your chance of finding your pet if they're lost.
But that benefit may be a bit misleading because of the way the chips operate. There are four main brands of microchips used in the United States, and generally each brand requires a different type of scanner to be read. If your pet winds up at an animal shelter without a compatible scanner, the chip cannot be read.
Likewise, the chips must be read at a very close distance of 3-12 inches. Normally the microchip is implanted between the shoulder blades, but on occasion they can migrate under the shoulder blade, up to the back of the neck -- or even all the way down to the belly.
This means that if your pet's chip has migrated, there's a good chance the scanner will not pick up the signal.
Assuming the chip is read, it's imperative that you have kept your contact information updated correctly (if you have moved, changed phone numbers, etc.) with the chip's registration site, or else the chip will again be useless.
What About Microchips Proposed for People?
As mentioned previously, subdermal microchips are being developed for numerous human uses, ranging from keeping tabs on your kids to implantable credit and debit cards, allowing customers to make purchases by scanning themselves with special readers at store checkouts. Many of these chips, such as one variety that grants people VIP access at nightclubs, are already in use.
One such brand, VeriChip, is even developing implantable virus detection systems for humans.
These biosensors can allegedly detect viruses such as swine flu, bird flu, SARS, and other biological threats such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The technology will be combined with VeriChip's implantable radio frequency identification devices (RFID) to develop "virus triage detection systems."
According to a white paper published by VeriChip on May 7, 2009, this triage system will provide "multiple levels of identification." The first level will identify the agent as virus or non-virus, the second level will classify the virus and alert the user to the presence of pandemic threat viruses, and the third level will identify the precise pathogen.
To some this may sound like a good idea, but to me this seems like it could be a prescription for massive government intrusion, loss of personal freedom and, as in other animals, potentially increased cancer risks.
As Dr. Robert Benezra, head of the Cancer Biology Genetics Program at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, said in Dr. Albrecht's paper:
"There's no way in the world, having read this information, that I would have one of those chips implanted in my skin, or in one of my family members … Given the preliminary animal data, it looks to me that there's definitely cause for concern."
Dr. George Demetri, director of the Center for Sarcoma and Bone Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, further noted, also in Dr. Albrecht's paper, that research underscored "certainly real risks" in RFID implants, adding that the tumors can be "incredibly aggressive and can kill people in three to six months."
Stay Informed Before Getting Microchipped
It may be some time before implantable microchips become commonplace for humans, but it will likely become a "wave of the future" well within our lifetimes. Many are already here and in use, but before deciding to take part be sure you are completely aware of all the potential risks posed.
For pets, the microchips are already being widely used and heavily promoted. If you're a pet owner, you'll need to weigh the benefits versus the risks carefully …
For more information, Mercola.com veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker recently reviewed this topic in depth. I highly recommend watching her video to make an educated and informed decision.

Guilty, that's me. I love scrapbook paper! If it's on sale you'll probably find some in my shopping cart. I have lots of options on hand at all times and can usually find something for my current project.
I also like to find "stuff" that I can alter--fast forward to my new canvases.I was shopping in the Christmas clearance section at our local Alco store and found Christmas themed canvases for 70% off. I grabbed all of them thinking that I could do something to alter them. To make them, I first painted the sides black with craft paint. I used Mod Podge to glue the paper onto the canvas. In picking out the papers, I tried to go with heavier paper. If you choose thin paper, it's more likely to wrinkle when gluing it on.
Last, I inked the edge. To ink, rub a stamp pad gently along where the paper meets the black paint and voila! Re-purposed canvas art to adorn my wall. This is a simple alteration, but is lots of fun. You can use canvases of any size, or mix and match like seen here.

A cunning serial killer plays devilish mind games with his would-be captors—and what else is new?
Not much. Well, he does have this penchant for pluralizing. That is, he grabs his young women in pairs. Why pairs? He uses corpse one for the planting of clues sufficient to allow law enforcement—if law enforcement is astute enough—to find corpse two alive. "Eco-Killer," he's been tabbed because in addition to his passion for gamesmanship, he seems to have an ongoing love-hate relationship with the environment. From Georgia, scene of the first killings, we shift to Virginia, where Special Agent Mac McCormack of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been on the case from the outset. He's been directed to Virginia by a barrage of enigmatic phone calls from someone who claims to know how the serial killer's sly and twisted mind works. In Quantico, a training ground for FBI agents as well as for US Marines, Mac meets fledgling feebie Kimberly Quincy, daughter of former agent Pierce Quincy, famous throughout the service for his legendary exploits as a profiler. When the Eco-Killer strikes again, Quincy and his p.i. partner Lorraine Conner, mainstays of the series, (The Next Accident, 2001, etc.), are called in to consult, but the case really belongs to the captivating Kimberly and hunkish Mac (with their bods for sex and brains for high-powered detecting). Convinced there's a chance to save a life if they can manage to solve the killer's puzzle in time, the two desperately seek clues from botanists, biologists, entomologists, and a variety of other analysts. Something from here, something from there, and at last they can make the guess that plunges them deep into Virginia's Shenandoah National Park, where the game plays out to a fiery end.
Too much psychobabble, technobabble, and envirobabble, yet the appeal of the young sleuths (smart, funny, tough) almost saves the day.

Oh yes the lions! They are not so easy to impress and they definitely think that they are the king of this world. Sure sounds self-centered to me but sadly we as humans tend to fall in love with the most egocentric things ever on this planet! If you are looking forward to make a Leo Man fall in love with you then here are two tips that you could follow to make this dream come true.
Tip #1
When dealing with a Leo men, always make him feel like he is the king of the world. Leo's like to hear praises and like to praise themselves to any person who will care to listen. When your Leo man is filled with self praise and is sharing it with you, make certain that you listen patiently. You could also corroborate his praises and praise him two folds more and you will see that you have become the apple of a Leo's eye.
Tip #2
Let the lion eat first. This has to be the number one rule of survival if you are looking at a relationship with a Leo man. This tip doesn't mean that you have to wait for him to finish eating first at the dinner table, rather it metaphorically means that a Leo man should have the very first say in anything and everything. Even when it comes to the praises and attention, he will want the lion's share. So let him have all that he wants and you should behave like you are content with the table scraps that fall off his table and you will be the princess of his den.
Also remember that Leo's are the vainest creatures that could ever exist and it can sure get to be testy after a few days. Make sure that you remember and try these tips only if you are ready to put up with a Leo's tantrums and cravings for attention. But you know what? Go ahead and make this Leo man fall in love with you, now that you know the two best tricks to satisfy a Leo man, learn to use it well and maybe even use it to get a laugh out of it!

SOURCE: "Interpretation of the Song of Songs," in The Servant of the Lord and Other Essays on the Old Testament, Rev. ed., Basil Blackwell, 1965, pp. 197-245.
In the following essay originally published in 1952, Rowley provides a brief historical survey of scholarship on the Song of Songs, outlining the allegorical, historical, Christian, and dramatic readings of the work, and considering its function and meaning.
There is no book of the Old Testament which has found greater variety of interpretation than the Song of Songs. Nor can it be said that there is any real agreement amongst scholars to-day as to the origin and significance of the work. In the title it is ascribed to Solomon, but no weight can be attached to that tradition, and writers of all schools now recognize it to be without authority. It is generally believed, however, that it was owing to the fact that...

Most of Hollywood spent the weekend preparing for the Oscars, but moviegoers preferred to go to war.
"Act of Valor," a military action movie featuring real Navy SEALs, opened to a solid $24.7 million, according to an estimate from distributor Relativity Media, making it by far the most popular choice for audiences.
"Good Deeds," the latest movie from writer-director Tyler Perry, opened to a decent $16 million. It's the second-smallest opening ever for the prolific filmmaker and actor, ahead of only 2007's "Daddy's Little Girls."
"Wanderlust," a new Judd Apatow-produced comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd, and the thriller "Gone," starring Amanda Seyfried, were both flops, opening to just $6.6 million and $5 million, respectively.

When college kids want some light reading: Harry Potter
Harvard University has announced that J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter books, will be its June commencement speaker. She might seem a curious choice, given the world and national political and business leaders who often deliver the address, but then again her seven-volume series isn't just children's fare. Adults and young adults also are big fans. In fact, in a survey of 1,000 college students by market research consultant Anderson Analytics of Stamford , Conn., they selected the Potter series as their favorite book "brand." The students' complete list of favorites, by category, from the survey:

It's a case of belated puppy love for an adorable dog born with both male and female genitals that was abandoned by its original owners, only to be rescued in time for the holidays by the Galway Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA). The conditon is extremely rare.
The unusual beige colored pup, a lurcher aged only eight weeks, has a new foster family and a new name, He-She, but its first weeks were spent cold and alone, according to a report in the Galway City Tribune.
He-She was found by the GSPCA shivering under a car in an East Galway town. The dog was brought for treatment and eventually found a temporary foster home earlier this month.
He-She will undergo a "sex change" in the New Year – a double neutering that will render her as a female.
"We don't know if she'll need hormones after that," the GSPCA's Margaret O'Sullivan told the Tribune.
O'Sullivan added that so-called hermaphrodite dogs are a rarity, and the condition is considered to be unthinkable in some cultures, which is likely why He-She was left for dead.
"In all my life I've never seen a dog or a cat like this," O'Sullivan added.
The GSPCA plans on finding a permanent home for He-She in the New Year.

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge unlikely to name baby Charlotte – Anglia Ruskin historian.
Despite featuring high on the list of the public's favourite names if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a daughter, a royal expert at Anglia Ruskin University says that Charlotte is unlikely to feature – even as a middle name.
Although Alice is currently the frontrunner with the bookmakers, Charlotte is joint second favourite, alongside Elizabeth, in the event of Kate giving birth to a girl.
However, Clarissa Campbell Orr, historian at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and an expert on the Hanoverians, believes the fate of previous Charlottes will make the name effectively off-limits to William and Kate.
Campbell Orr, who is also President of the Society for Court Studies, said:
Even though the new baby will fall into the category of "spare to the heir", Campbell Orr believes its birth will be warmly welcomed in Cambridge, as well as attracting global interest.

Help JB Foxx Out During His Time Of Need
Radio is sort of like a brotherhood. We don't do what we do for money. We do it because we love it. And right now, one our brothers has fallen on hard times. JB Foxx, who has worked at 99X since the beginning, recently had a stroke. His whole left side is paralyzed. And, like most radio folk, he isn't Howard Stern. So, he could use a little help getting by.
Anything you could spare to help JB on his road to recovery would be much appreciated. Maybe have one less beer on Saturday night or something. I know we would appreciate you helping our friend and I know JB would appreciate you as well.

We tend to lose certainties nowadays. Without launching pleas for the invention of new terms to depict improvisation (and forgetting for a minute the "entire-history-of-avantgarde-in-pills" of the liner notes), let me just declare that this is a tough record to swallow. It's taking this writer a considerable number of spins to recognize its noteworthy traits; an appreciative comprehension is gradually growing after a gut reaction of perplexity, probably due to a weakened psychophysical condition during the initial approach. So, for starters, don't blame the artists.
The music comes packaged in two lengthy suites. As always in duets where a single acoustic instrument and electronics are involved, this is all about actions, reactions and counter-reactions. In extreme synthesis, Camões' viola is the source that gets denucleated, liquefied and sprayed across the ether by Foussat's apparatuses. This happens according to methods exercising a remorseless destruction of the "romanticism" typically linked to strings (which in itself would represent a plus). Sometimes the outcome is extremely intriguing, recalling a pair of solitary souls attempting to communicate via atypical timbral attractions and somewhat unpractical contrapuntal solutions. Still, in selected fragments of the first track "Suite Pour La Trosième Oreille" a cruel use of distortion renders the aural colors truly ugly more often than not. I'm fighting with myself to accept them as they are, in the name of an open-minded tolerance of diversity.
However, do not question the quality of the interplay – top rank throughout – and do focus on the finer features of this work. We're in presence of creative minds that want to go forward, regardless of aesthetic issues largely depending, as previously hinted, on the listener's contingent state. Ultimately, the textural essence of À La Face Du Ciel! is remotely comparable to the body of a person who spends a whole day in front of the sea, inhaling the scents and looking at the innumerable ripples before returning home with the skin completely sunburnt. Badly aching, yet willing to reiterate the experience.

Don't worry about the famous Highland midge, with a bit of preparation and knowledge of this "beastie" it will not affect your Highland holiday
If you have never been to the Highlands before you may have heard stories of the dreaded Scottish midge out to terrorize unsuspecting visitors, but don't worry, it's not as bad as you may think!
Firstly, midge season is in the height of the summer, so if you are visiting us in autumn, winter, spring or even early summer you will not be bothered by midges.
Also, midges are tiny – much smaller than mosquitoes – so their bites if they do happen are usually more irritating than painful unless you tend to have severe reactions to insect bites. Their tiny size with a wingspan of just 2mm is probably the reason that midges usually appear in large numbers, you never get "just the one"!
Midges are most likely to be out and about looking for unsuspecting visitors to attack at dawn or dusk and in still, humid conditions. Even a slight breeze will chase midges away. They also can't keep up with you when you're walking, so while you're out hiking or cycling you will be perfectly safe.
If it is "midgey weather" (i.e. cloudy, damp and no wind) and you are worried about these pesky insects bothering you, try a midge repellant like Smidge or Avon Skin So Soft.
In case you don't like to use insect repellants or are allergic to them, you can also go for the very fetching "midge hat" (a wide brimmed hat with a net), which will protect your head and face from the midge menace.
Not all areas of Scotland are affected by midges, so keep an eye on the Midge Forecast in the summer so you can decide if you have to pack an insect repellant or not! In the Inverness and Loch Ness area, most places by the coast and along Loch Ness are pretty much midge free, but in other places like Glen Affric you are more likely to encounter these "wee beasties".
So don't be worried about the dreaded midge, stay active and avoid sitting still outside if it's "midgey weather" and if you can't avoid them (for example when you're camping, fishing etc), stock up on tried and tested midge repellants and you will be able to enjoy the great outdoors!

Hey guys!
Today I have swatches of the new Cirque Colors Vice 2016 collection to share with you!
These polishes is sponsered by Minta.dk, but everything I write about them is my honest opinion.
First up I have High Roller.
High Roller is an awesome minty neon. The formula on this one is fantastic and it is opaque in two easy coats! Simply stunning.
Next is Rehab - a blurple (blue/purple) creme.
Another amazing formula with full opacity in two thin coats. It does dry a little matte, so I recommend a shiny top coat. Such a gorgeous shade.
Next up I have Electric Daisy, which is a neon yellow with strong green undertones.
This was the hardest polish to work with in the collection - it was streaky, uneven and needed three somewhat thick coats to be opaque. But look at that neon!
Time for Plastik!
Plastik is a bright magenta creme. The formula on this one is perfect - it glides on the nail like butter and it is opaque in two easy coats. I am in love with this color!
Next up is Sin City - an amazingly neon coral shade.
The formula on this one was great and it was opaque in two thin coats. It was really hard to capture true in color on pictures - it is just so neon!
Finally I have We Trippy, which is a holographic top coat.
I applied one thin coat on top of Plastik.
And here it is on top of Sin City (look at that neon and holographic explosion!).
I LOVE THIS COLLECTION! The colors are beautiful and (except for Electric Daisy) they are amazing to work with!
What do you guys think about this collection? Let me know in the comments!
Stay polished.
- Louise

I wrote in December about Little T and his language delay. Since then there have been some big changes – he started going to nursery two mornings a week and seeing a speech therapist on a regular basis. He's had no problems settling at nursery and his therapist is amazing (I can only admire a woman who walks into my home, takes one glance at me with my hair unwashed and snot pouring from my face and says without hesitation, "You look awful." My kind of person tbh).
One crucial thing hasn't changed though; he still doesn't really talk. I mean, there's been some improvement and it's been awesome to see, but with every month that passes the developmental gap between him and his peers grows and grows. And since he turned 3 he's passed through an invisible threshold and is now considered to have special educational needs (SEN). In some ways that's been a positive thing for us because we don't feel so much like he needs to magically up his game in time to avoid the SEN label (why that was a worry for us I have no idea), but in others… Well, labels. And "advice". SO MUCH ADVICE.
So on that note, here's my (very personal) guide of 'dos' and 'don'ts' when it comes to my non-speaking child –
- Don't say "Have you tried reading to him?" (or "You could use flash cards!"or "Just don't give him what he wants until he asks properly!" etc) Honestly, I'm not a horrible person. I know that when you say this you're trying to offer help and support and you have no idea how so you just come out with the most benign suggestion you can muster. I really do understand the mindset of wanting to offer solutions, believe me I do. But these aren't solutions. At best they're conversational filler, at worst they're downright hurtful. And given that he has a speech therapist, it's likely we're already exploring different approaches. And for the record, we've been explicitly instructed never to withhold things from him until he asks. So suck on that.
- Do listen. The uncertainty, doubt, guilt and worry is hard work, especially alongside the day-to-day drudgery and stress of maintaining a marriage, parenting two kids, paying bills and stopping the house falling down, so it's sometimes nice to be able to say, "This is shit," to a trusted friend or family member and have them pat me on the head and feed me cake without trying to fix my son or change my feelings. I love my beautiful boy with all my heart and I have 100% got this, but it's not always easy and it's great to let my guard down around the people I care about.
- Don't tell me he could be autistic. I've got news for you – I know! It's a very real possibility and not one we're frightened of. But at this point in time we're not pursuing an assessment for him. Just because my son has delayed speech it doesn't mean he owes the world anything. He doesn't owe the world an answer, and that would be the only reason for us to seek a diagnosis. And yes, the answer could be that he's autistic. But it could also not. We may find out definitively one day, but while he's happy and there are no other "problems" with his development we want him to enjoy being a young child with as little scrutiny as possible. That's our choice and it's the right one for him. Remember, we've got this! 🙂
- Do speak to him. His hearing is fine, and while he often doesn't appear to be listening, I promise he is. And it's okay to ask him questions, just don't expect an (obvious) answer then let the "conversation" dry up because you don't know where to go next. Observe him, talk about what he's doing, engage in his play. With a child like Tristan you need to get inside his world. Sit on the floor with him, pick up a toy, connect with the child inside yourself and go on wonderful imaginative adventures with my son. He may not talk but he isn't quiet and his universe is bright, bold and colourful. I promise you it's worth finding it.
- Don't assume he's unintelligent. No he doesn't talk much yet, but try to remember that in all other ways he's just like any other 3 year old. He loves Pixar movies, being outside, climbing things, small world play and splashing in puddles. He found a ladybird at nursery a few weeks ago and proudly showed everyone. He's learning to share. He has tantrums. He likes chicken nuggets and chocolate. He loves novelty and trying new things. I don't really know how smart he is, but it doesn't matter! Don't make assumptions either way. Just enjoy him and take him as he is.
- Do ask questions. After everything I've written above it might seem like it's a bit of minefield and it's best to keep quiet and ignore the speech delayed elephant in the room but that elephant is my son and perhaps surprisingly, his development isn't something I'm ashamed of. I love talking about my kids, and nothing makes me love a person more than when they embrace the subject of T's speech and ask about it meaningfully and rationally. It's perfectly reasonable to ask about his hearing or what our plans for his education are should his communication not change much by the time he reaches compulsory school age. Ask away. Just don't be a dick (see #1).
- Don't tell me about Susan's nephew's goddaughter who didn't speak til she was 5. Truthbomb time – I don't care. And I know about Einstein. And Mark Rylance. It's not that these examples don't make me feel better in the moment – they do. But I want to let go of the need for Tristan to meet certain expectations of 'normal'. He didn't meet the goal of talking by 3 so now people try to helpfully move the goalposts for him. Einstein means he has til he's 4! Mark Rylance didn't talk until he was 6! The point is that I don't want goalposts for Tristan at all. What happens if he reaches 5 years old and still isn't talking, what then? Will he have failed at normality? Why does it even matter? That's what I'm trying to let go of. He probably will talk one day and catch up with peers, but he may not. Changing goalposts isn't helping to embrace him as he is now or as he could possibly be in the future, it's just another arbitrary mark to potentially miss.
- Do tell us we're doing a good job. Okay, so this is more than a little vain, but as I said above this isn't always an easy journey. I have blamed myself most days for not doing enough to help my son communicate, resented Leo because he gets in the way of me interacting with Tristan, and sometimes had to make do with five minutes of reading at bedtime as quality time with my eldest. It's crap and I beat myself up for it every day. So if you have a compliment spare, send it my way. My mummy guilt needs it.
There you have it. In short, love me and my son, and don't be an arsehole. 🙂
