As political shots out of the dark go, Dalton McGuinty's announcement last night that he will be resigning as Premier has to rate as one of the most surprising. But it wasn't completely unpredictable.
No point in twisting ourselves into knots trying to figure this one out. It's simple, really, and complicated at the same time. McGuinty is getting out now because the getting out is good, showing once again that the Teflon Premier's political instincts are better than most pundits give him credit for.
The Premier's announcement was accompanied by another - that he's asked the Lieutenant Governor to prorogue the Legislature.
Officially, McGuinty says that decision was made because, according to his assessment, work at Queen's Park was grinding to a halt, the political bickering "generating more heat than light," in his words, amid the ongoing gas plants controversy/scandal dogging the Liberals.
Now the pesky questions about why the Liberals' decided to shutdown and move the plants at a cost of tens of millions of dollars to taxpayers, and then tried to cover up the mess, won't be taking up the six-o'clock news. And, Libs are hoping, will be a distant memory when the Leg resumes by next spring.
Indeed. It was only a few hours before McGuinty's announcement that two of his ministers admitted in the House that they did not intentionally mean to mislead the public when they said that all relevant records related to the gas plant moves had been released, when they hadn't.
The optics of shutting down the Leg may not be good for the Libs, at least in the short term. But neither was continuing on the current course of daily distractions caused by the controversy. Tactically, it was a brilliant move.
More importantly, proroguing the Leg gives the party time to hold a leadership convention, find a successor and give McGuinty's replacement, whomever that will be, time to get their feet wet before an election, which certainly won't happen now for at least another year.
But there were other political considerations prompting McGuinty to pull the plug.
The lingering questions about ORNGE, the air ambulance service awash in charges of financial irregularities and the subject of an OPP investigation, weren't going away.
The government's plans to impose a wage freeze on public sector workers, which the Libs were counting on the PCs to support, had also reached an impasse. And then there were the polls showing both the PCs and NDP well ahead.
Make no mistake. The opposition were watching those numbers carefully, the Libs too. Waiting for the moment when public confidence in the government would reach critical mass, and force an election. It was getting near that point. McGuinty had no choice but to stanch the bleeding.
McGuinty told reporters that there was "no particular magic" in the timing of his stepping down. He talked about his daughter's wedding influencing his decision. In truth, governing had become untenable. For McGuinty, both personally and politically, time was also running out.
There were rumblings around the Liberal leadership review a couple of weeks back in Ottawa about his future.
There were bitter feelings about the mess-up in Kitchener-Waterloo, and the decision of his advisers not to hand eventual NDP winner Catherine Fife the Lib nomination in the riding, which left the party a seat short of a virtual majority. Oh what could have been.
McGuinty emerged from the leadership review with an 85 per cent approval rate among party members.
But despite the impressive number, there was the bigger question: could the party really go into another election with McGuinty at the helm? The answer to most, including McGuinty, was obvious.
If the Libs are to have a fighting chance, then there will have to be a new face offered voters.
McGuinty had to see the writing on that wall. He alluded at the very end of his presser Monday to his responsibility to "renew the leadership of our party."
The Queen's Park press corp, however, wanted to talk about reports that were emerging as he spoke that the pieces had already been put in place for McGuinty to take a run at the federal Liberal leadership.
A federal Liberal run for McGuinty is not out of the cards. Brother David, the federal member for Ottawa-South, has a base. And in fact has been himself rumoured as a possible candidate in the past.
McGuinty left that question of his future hanging in the air. As the Liberal brand goes, he's pretty much it in a country that's tilting decidedly left or right.
Who could have guessed it would come to this? That the former family lawyer with flip up hair and awkward comportment, who came out of nowhere to win the Ontario party leadership, would/could represent big-L liberalism's last hope?
We may not have seen the last of McGuinty. The political strategists who ran his war room the last three elections, are advising supporters to sit by their phones. McGuinty may just be calling about a federal run.

Devotion for Pens
June 11th 2011
©Susan Marlene Kinney
In the wee hours of the night or through the course of a brilliant sunny day, all opposition and smooth pathways shape us, sharpen us, and place an indelible mark upon our character. We are usually not strong enough to be sweet at the end of a difficult and exhausting experience - until we bow to eternal love. This mysterious love flows from our Eternal Father God and fills us to overflowing – if we but chose to allow this love to grace our thoughts and our spirit. Though He is the potter and we are the clay He has placed the responsibility to accept His divine presence upon our shoulders to allow love or oppose it.
The reason great characters leap off the pages of our favorite books is because we hear the distant call to come up higher. Those characters, bigger than life, situate before our mind a visual of higher choice when they realize the "truth" which has been smothered in the lie our character has believed and they turn in the power of the truth. Yes our characters back-story holds the key to why they believe the lie and have not lived up to their potential!
Fellow writers, come up higher. Sit before His divine presence and allow His love to grace and erase every offence, criticism, or unloving thought from the pages of your mind. Yes life hurts but look at how we grow no matter what or who challenges us – if we but chose to allow Father God's love to wash our difficulty clean. Imagine the impact on a family member when you write that memoir, short story, or novel and have the example of your characters who grapple with overwhelming difficulties and triumph in the liberty His love provides. Mark your characters triumphs well with the black of your ink set on the glorious white of the page. Bring opposition after opposition to strengthen the character of your characters and capture the imagination and desire of your readers to come up higher and listen to our
Heavenly Father who calls….

While I am in the midst of an ongoing series on Adam, Eve and population genetics, a recently published analysis of an archaic human genome is too rich to ignore until my current series ends – and indeed, this new evidence will be useful as that series continues. As such, we will take a brief hiatus and explore these new and exciting findings.
This new study shows that a modern human living in Europe between 42,000 and 37,000 years ago had a very recent Neanderthal ancestor, within six generations back. These results give us more information about how human and Neanderthal populations interacted over time and geographic space, provide a clear example of how present-day humans are not the only individuals we need to account for in determining the population size of our ancestral lineage, and close a loophole that one Christian apologetics organization hoped would explain away the evidence for interbreeding.
Assembling all of this information reveals the following tale: the common ancestor of Neanderthals and Denisovans migrated from Africa to the Middle East between 500,000 and 300,000 years ago, leaving a population behind that would eventually become modern humans (at around 200,000 years ago). In the Middle East, the populations destined to become Neanderthals and Denisovans part ways, with their differences accumulating over the next several hundred thousand years to make them distinct species. When a population of modern humans leave Africa around 50,000 years ago, they encounter, and breed with, Neanderthals shortly after. This genetic exchange is small, since there are partial reproductive barriers in place, but a small fraction of Neanderthal DNA becomes established in this lineage. Groups from this population then part ways, with some migrating into Europe and others into Asia. This latter group then encounters the Denisovan hominids, interbreeds with them, and a fraction of Denisovan DNA takes hold as a result. This population goes on to colonize southeast Asia, Oceania and Australia, where we see this variation today in Melanesians. Modern humans thus have different evolutionary trajectories: Melanesians have both Neanderthals and Denisovans in their lineage, Europeans have Neanderthals, and Africans have neither.
Given the rapid technical improvements we are seeing in paleogenomics (the sequencing of DNA from ancient remains), it was really only a matter of time before new information would be added to this overall picture. Last week, such a study was published: it analyzed the DNA of a European, modern human (named Oase 1 for the location he was found) who lived between 42,000 and 37,000 years ago. The results of the analysis were both straightforward and intriguing: this individual had much more Neanderthal DNA than present-day humans do (6-9%), and a large fraction of his Neanderthal DNA is present in continuous blocks – in other words, in several locations in his genome, he has runs of Neanderthal DNA that are far, far longer than those seen in any present-day human. Taken together, these results indicate that not only did this individual have Neanderthal ancestry, but he had very recent Neanderthal ancestry, within the six generations preceding him. At the point of hybridization, his human/Neanderthal hybrid ancestor would have two chromosome sets: 23 from the human parent, and 23 from the Neanderthal parent, with one chromosome from each making up each pair. This hybrid individual would thus have runs of Neanderthal DNA as long as each chromosome. In the successive generations as this individual bred with a human, their offspring bred with a human, and so on, these long stretches of Neanderthal DNA would be broken into smaller and smaller stretches by recombination with human chromosomes. The fact that the subject of the study still has a several very long runs of Neanderthal DNA in his genome allows us to estimate, based on known human recombination rates for various locations in the genome, just how many generations exist between the subject of the study and his hybrid ancestor. The results indicate that not more than six generations separate them, or less than 200 years.
Scientifically, these results are significant because they are the first genetic evidence that humans and Neanderthals interbred in Europe, long after the initial interbreeding events that occurred in the Middle East shortly after humans left Africa. For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, these results are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding. Moreover, these results close a particular scientific loophole that one Old Earth Creationist (OEC) organization, Reasons to Believe (RTB) has promoted as an alternative interpretation of the Neanderthal/human interbreeding evidence. Let's explore how this new evidence creates significant problems for RTB's model.
Neanderthals and Reasons to Believe: new evidence, new problems
When the Neanderthal genome was first sequenced and analyzed in 2010, RTB came out strongly against the notion that humans and Neanderthals interbred, since this notion stands in sharp contrast to their stance that humans are separate creations that share ancestry with no other species. As such, RTB views Neanderthals as animals, and human/Neanderthal interbreeding as humans committing bestiality (for those following my current ongoing series, we will soon see that William Lane Craig holds a similar stance).
In 2012, RTB became aware of a minority scientific hypothesis – a proposal that the Neanderthal DNA seen in non sub-Saharan humans is the result of an ancient population structure in Africa prior to humans (or Neanderthals) leaving, not later interbreeding with Neanderthals in the Middle East. In this model there are at least two populations of hominins in Africa with limited genetic exchange between them, and Neanderthals and non-African humans emigrate from the same sub-population. In other words, the 1-3% Neanderthal DNA we see in non-Africans is because these two groups are, for a portion of their genomes, closer relatives to each other than either is to the population that gave rise to African humans. RTB has recently promoted the aspect of the model that suggested humans did not interbreed with Neanderthals as they left Africa, without discussing how the model requires some humans to share a more recent common ancestor with Neanderthals than with other human populations. While this minority hypothesis has not stood up to further experimental scrutiny, the point is now null and void for RTB in any case: we now have evidence that modern humans and Neanderthals interbred that cannot be explained by ancient African population structure. Neanderthal DNA is found in modern humans in only tiny segments, due to 60,000 years of recombination breaking them into ever-smaller stretches. In the case of Oase 1, however, we have the DNA sequence of a human with large continuous swaths of Neanderthal DNA from a very recent hybridization event. Such large swaths of DNA could not have been transmitted for hundreds of thousands of years from an ancient African sub-population without recombination: they are recent, and indicate that humans interbred with Neanderthals within the last 42,000 years.
As our technological ability to recover and sequence DNA from ever more ancient and poorly preserved samples improves, the trajectory of the evidence is likely to provide increasing challenges to RTB's model regarding Neanderthal/human interbreeding.

I got some new gear today (shure sm57+stand+cables) that goes straight into my m-audio soundcard (mono signal). input signal is there in all software i've tried (cubase, reaper, audacity, guitar rig, windows soundrecorder.) but when I'm recording nothing gets recorded. I can hear the sound fine from guitar rig. And the only software I can record with for now is the windows soundrecorder. the settings seems to me be the same for all programs....
btw, here's the recording from Windows own recorder, excuse my crappy playing tho

Did you make proper connection input in Cubase? Press F4 and make input, assign input from you card to one connection and name it say "SM57 mic". Then open a track, and choose this connection on the track left in the inspector view. Arm fro record, and record. Does this work?
PS you should have the signal of your connection in the mixer (F3) far on the left.

Don' t know Cubase like Ivan but in general you should assign M-Audio to handle "recording" and "playback" both. I suppose you havn't assigned it to "recording"-device in your DAW.
But it seems that Maudio is the recording device for Windows since you could record from there.

MickeM might be onto something here as well. In Cubase, also check out the Devices>Device Setup...>VST Audiobay. There you can choose the ASIO driver you wanna use both for recording and playback. Does your M-Audio driver stands there?

A cautionary tale about home education and college courses
I might mention at this point that the mother and father had been excited to learn about the possibility of fourteen and fifteen year-old home educated children being able to study at college. What nobody had told them, on the internet lists or elsewhere, is that this would not be possible for A levels; at least, not without a clutch of GCSEs. They are feeling very anxious now, as to what their next step should be.
Harlow and Epping Forest have traditionally been very low achieving colleges and they have recently made efforts to raise their standards. On A level courses, for instance, there was always a high dropout and failure rate. They have tackled this by making it far more difficult to get on the courses in the first place. When my daughter went to Harlow, she needed five GCSEs at A*-C; which was pretty standard at that time, four years ago. Things have changed dramatically. Epping Forest now requires five GCSEs at A*-B. Harlow want seven GCSEs and if you wish to take mathematics at A level, you must have a GCSE at B. There are absolutely no exceptions to these rules.
I think that the parents to whom I had been speaking had thought in terms of their daughter taking GCSEs at college or perhaps some literacy test before A levels. Nothing doing; the colleges are not taking any chances now. They are determined to keep up their results and not let anybody in to study A levels who might fail or drop out. The result is that the girl in question could, if she wished, study hairdressing, film-making, motor mechanics and so on. She cannot without those GCSEs, get on to an A level course. In effect, the result of withdrawing her from school and believing much of what her parents were told on various support groups has sounded the death knell for her hopes of going to university to study history.
This is a sad case, but by no means unusual. I think that many parents have vague memories of doing O levels at college or remember when they ran evening classes for those who did badly in their GCEs. Anybody thinking of home educating a teenager who might wish to study an academic subject at university, really needs to find out about this!

Could she not do GCSE's by correspondence course then?ReplyDelete
But yes, the truth is that the exams do matter if you want to do anything that's 'academic' rather than 'artistic' or 'practical'. We ended up working backwards from where we could sit exams and what we could sit to choosing what they studied, but at least we didn't have to cope with the 'pick one subject from each column' mentality so they can do history and geography...
'Could she not do GCSE's by correspondence course then?'ReplyDelete
Of course, if her parents could afford to pay for seven such courses and the costs of the examinations. They cannot. Not every family is able to find £1500 to £3000 for this purpose. For my daughter simply to sit the examinations alone set me back £960.
Move to Hampshire and get the exams paid for....ReplyDelete
More seriously there is a huge difference in what local colleges require and how flexible they are and all parents need to do continual research on what is needed. Some places won't budge, some will take circs into account - and prices for exams vary a lot. There are increasing numbers of HE parents who use "home ed coops" or shared tutors to actually teach what they think they can't - including some in places not that far from you, Simon.Replies

Even in unenlightened Dorset I can get 9 IGCSE's for £400. Mind you, I did haggle! And if correspondence courses cost too much then it's perfectly possible to use textbooks; as you proved. I'm not saying it's easy, just that the girls dreams of going to university haven't been shattered beyond repair.ReplyDelete

Is there anything more fabulous to a pair of goldens than a lake on a summer day?
Swimming, chasing a ball or a Frisbee, chewing on a stick... those are their favorite things.
These two dogs hit the jackpot when I adopted them. Walks every day, a family who loves them and a trip to the lake every now and then. A far cry from their beginnings in life. Both dogs were adopted through As Good As Gold (AGAG), a golden retriever rescue group. Breeze came to us at age 5 months, healthy, but left outside with her two siblings in the cold Chicago winter weather. Marley was quite sick, his owners could no longer afford to care for him. Both dogs are healthy and happy, thanks to the efforts of AGAG to help them find their forever home.
Life is good. And you can bet, they were very tired at the end of the day. Bliss.... Marley & Breeze style!

The 2010-11 academic year marked the beginning of the transformation of Elon's residential experience with the completion of three new residence halls. In line with the school's sustainability master plan, these new buildings surround Elon's first geothermal system, which will provide environmentally friendly heating and cooling.Through the Kernodle Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement, the school also launched Campus Kitchen to feed the hungry of Alamance County.
For the second year in a row, the university was named one of the nation's most "environmentally responsible green colleges" by The Princeton Review. It also received other accolades by U.S. News & World Report and the Sierra Club.
The 2010-11 year also saw the continued flourishing of faculty and student scholarship, the establishment of the Elon University Forest, 56 acres that will forever be preserved in its natural state, and the creation of a School of Health Sciences, which will include a new physician assistant studies master's program that enrolls its first class in 2013.
During the 2010-11 academic year, Elon continued the implementation of the Elon Commitment, a 10-year plan aimed at engaging students' minds and inspiring them to act as leaders and global citizens.
The Elon Commitment Strategic Plan is organized around eight themes:

The Pedro St. James sign was recently knocked down by a passing vehicle.
Thanks to CCTV footage provided by the RCIPS of the incident, which happened on Saturday, April 9, the driver was identified.
It's the second time the sign has been knocked down, prompting the attraction to move the replacement sign to a safer location.
Members of the public are invited to submit their suggestions as to where the new sign should be placed, so it is easier to see and less likely to be knocked down again, to [email protected]

Immunotherapy – locally triggering the innate immune system via proprietary formulation of immune modulating drugs for intravesical use
UroGen Pharma is developing a unique immune-modulation drug candidate, Vesimune (imiquimod), based on Toll like receptors (TLR) stimulators. TLRs are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and their importance in stimulating innate and adaptive immunity is well established. TLRs are sensors of microbial components as well as host-derived endogenous molecules released by injured tissues. TLRs play a critical role in defense against invading pathogens but are also involved in other serious pathological processes, such as tumorigenesis. TLR can be expressed on members of the innate and adaptive immune system as well as by endothelial and epithelial cells. More recently, TLR have been found on tumor cells. Growing evidence is being collected of TLRs activation efficacy in arming the immune system against cancer cells.
Imiquimod is approved in the US in a topical formulation for genital warts, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and actinic keratosis. Imiquimod is an imidazoquinoline, synthetic immune modulator which target TLR7 and a potent inducer of immune stimulatory cytokines –including Interferon-alpha (IFNα), TNFα, interleukin IL-1β and IL-6, and exerts consistent antitumor effects in animal models. TLR7 expression on bladder cancer cells has been reported. Imiquimod is believed to also adjuvant properties, eliciting an adaptive immune response in the presence of released bladder cancer antigens that translate into a long lasting acquire immune response. Imiquimod is the active ingredient of Vesimune.
BCG, an immunotherapy agent, is the current standard of care for adjuvant treatment of high-grade bladder cancer tumors, including CIS. However, BCG is associated with a high rate of tolerability issues. UroGen Pharma's VESIMUNE™ (imiquimod) is a reformulation of imiquimod specifically optimized for intravesical delivery in the urinary bladder.

How Israel's Peace
Movement Fell Apart
BEER SHEVA, Israel - The peace movements in Israel have been silenced in the past year. The onslaught of terrorism and suicide bombings has given rise to a discourse of revenge, implemented by the government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and the country's mighty military force, replacing any discourse of reconciliation and peace.
The war against terrorism led by the United States has made nearly all forms of retaliatory action undertaken by Israel more acceptable; public survey data may show that the majority of Israelis still support a two-state solution, including withdrawal from the occupied territories and the dismantling of settlements, but until then we are fighting and killing each other with bombs and tanks on an almost daily basis.
During the past two years, many of the most prominent peace activists, silent and disillusioned, have retired to the seclusion of their homes. Many on the left have moved to the center, while those in the center have moved to the right. Many now support the hard-line retaliatory policies of the Sharon government in its war against Palestinian terror. Media pundits, with few exceptions, have unhesitatingly supported the current government and its hard-line positions. The typical analysis goes like this: The peace supporters have been proved wrong; they failed to understand the reality of Palestinian hatred for Israel; Oslo was a mistake of colossal proportions and Israel has no option but to continue this bloody war of defense for another 50 years.
The falloff in support for the peace process is partially understandable. When Bill Clinton, Ehud Barak and Yasir Arafat failed to reach an agreement at Camp David in 2000, any remaining trust between the two sides fell away, terrorism returned to the streets of Israel and outright war to the alleyways and refugee camps of the West Bank. The pro-peace organizations felt betrayed and helpless - and with a few brave exceptions, they became silent. The cooptation of the Labor Party into a government of right-wing national unity by a wily prime minister has not helped. The fact that the Labor Party opted for a military man, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, as its leader is a clear indicator of the limitations of any new peace initiative to be put forward by the left. In short, the pro-peace, pro-concessions lobby has fallen apart both at the grass-roots and the political party levels. There do not appear to be any groups ready to step into the vacuum to restart the peace process when the current bout of violence and terrorism finally ends.
But it is all too easy to blame the events of the past two years for the collapse of the peace discourse. The roots are much deeper than that and go back as far as Oslo itself, if not before. During the past decade, peace activism focused on the immediate problems to be resolved between Israel and the Palestinian Authority - resolving yesterday's crisis and attempting to avert tomorrow's crisis. Although there were many attempts to support cooperation programs between the two peoples, the Oslo process was confined to the political, diplomatic and academic elites, rarely filtering down to the general public. Most Israelis were skeptical of the process and needed to be convinced that it was possible to reach an agreement with the people who, until yesterday, hated them and refused even to recognize their existential legitimacy. Few resources were invested in peace education or the creation of a language of peace that would have been meaningful to large sectors of both populations. The Israeli Voice of Peace radio station actually closed down soon after Oslo.
The truth remains that the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians remain totally unaware of one another's aspirations and dreams. This is despite all the people-to-people programs sponsored by foreign governments, the informal meetings between Israelis, Palestinians and other Middle Eastern politicians and academics, and other small projects aimed at furthering cooperation. , Most Israelis and Palestinians have little contact other than on Israeli construction sites and in restaurants, in the offices of the military administration or, at times like the present, through the telescope of an army rifle.
Indeed, when the Camp David talks collapsed, there was an almost shrugging acceptance of the failure by Israelis and Palestinians alike, as though nothing else could really have been expected.
The hard truth is that the peace movements and organizations were tired long before the Camp David fiasco. Their leaders were the same well-meaning but worn-out activists who had founded the original Peace Now movement more than 20 years ago. To their credit, they had mobilized public support for the implementation of the peace accords with Egypt and lobbied for a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon. But they failed to attract the younger, middle-class, high-tech generation to their ranks. This failure contrasted strongly with the dynamic activism of the right-wing and West Bank settler movements that have successfully won the hearts and minds of a second, and even third, generation of activists. Israeli right-wing ideology has constantly been renewed through the messages of religious nationalism and irredentism, while the messages of peace and reconciliation - however difficult they are to sell during periods of violence and terrorism - have been relegated to irrelevance.
It is not sufficient
simply for the violence to stop and for the negotiations to be kick-started
back into existence (an unlikely
There is also a need for uniformity of objectives among the numerous splinter peace groups. The Peace Now movement is no more than an umbrella organization whose members mostly act independently through other smaller groups. There is a need for new, young leadership by people whose lives will be affected by what happens in the next 30 years. One glimmer of hope is the recent creation of Ta'ayush, a joint Jewish-Arab organization of people in their 20's and 30's who give aid to Palestinian villages subjected to Israeli Army curfews and closures. Creating a new language of peace is a long-term process, one that should have run parallel to the Oslo negotiations but was neglected in the belief that everything could be sorted out tomorrow. If it is not done now, when the situation is about as bad as it has been since the end of the 1967 war, mass support for a peace agreement, if and when such an agreement is finally signed, will not be forthcoming, and the forces of irredentism and conflict will once again win the day.

Dear Vampire Diaries: Volume 4
Dear Vampire Diary,
Logan, that news reporter who cheated on Aunt Jenna, is very insistent on being invited into her house. He's clearly a vampire, but since he hasn't used the ability to compel her to invite himself in, I suspect that doesn't work. He may also just be a lousy vampire…and really, those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
Oh, hey, an old-fashioned vampire attack to close out the cold open! It's been a while since we've seen one of those. I don't know if that was supposed to come as a surprise, but repeatedly asking someone to invite you in isn't something that not-vampires do very often.
Since Damon and Stefan have both declared intentions to leave town, the brothers discuss where they'll go next. Damon suggests the two try out for the Amazing Race. This idea is AWESOME! You try and honestly tell me that you wouldn't watch a pair of vampires race around the world performing a series of challenges.
You know, despite the whole cougar explosion a few years back I'd say American culture gets pretty iffy about age differences in couples, and especially with high schoolers. Despite this, I rarely hear people say anything about 162 year old guys making eyes at high school girls in vampire fiction.
So the Sheriff is not only the head of local law enforcement, but also a member of a secret vampire hunting organization, yet when hunting vampires she's unprepared. Meanwhile newscaster Logan, admittedly also a member of said secret organization, who is minding his own business and probably disoriented from being turned into a vampire is totally ready to slay some liches (get it? undead joke). I think this town may need an emergency election.
I really do enjoy seeing the Salvatore brothers working together. You know what they say, "the family who murders vampires together out of clandestine self-preservation, stays together". It sounds wittier in the original Latin.
Does Caroline have some sort of Vampire magnetism? Honestly. First Damon, now Logan? Does she just have the best blood or something?
Man I really appreciate Damon's ability to play every angle. He's got Stefan helping him take down Logan, he's got Logan helping him try to free Katherine behind Stefan's back, and all the while he's got the Sheriff in the palm of his hand. If I was playing a game or sociopathic mastermind in gym class I would pick Damon first every day of the week.
For some reason Jeremy is suddenly intent on trying to be friends with Tyler, the other guy who was sleeping with his dead vampire girlfriend. Saltzman breaks up a fight between them (instigated by the mayor, for some reason), then we're presented with what's likely to be the least subtle moment of foreshadowing I've ever seen.
Elena asks Stefan not to leave town because she loves him. This immediately degenerates into a makeout session, which in turn evolves into this weird emotional casserole of sweet, gratuitous and horrifying. Vampires are so complicated, no wonder they're so emo all the time.
Episode ten and the main love interests have already had sex. They just don't make vampire romances like they used to. It's okay, though, this relationship can't last long without derailing.
I'm not really sure what to make of the unreasonably suspicious Alaric Saltzman now. He gallantly came and staked Logan after keeping Jeremy out of trouble at the school's career night. He seems to play the good guy vampire part way better than Stefan. Though he just sort of left the dead Vampire out for the world to find, so he's not so bright.
I can't decide if all this vampire trauma is going to give Caroline a thick skin or a psychotic break. At this point, I'll say even odds, but when the vampires stop compelling her to be okay with everything, all bets are off!
Again, if there's one major thing I would say about this show, it's that they deal with the whole emo vampire thing really well. Both Stefan and Elena are inherently dramatic people who rarely smile or find anything about life that won't give them an angst fit. Yet when they're together, they both definitely liven up (especially in the case of the undead guy). I really appreciate the subtlety of the character direction on this show.
Whoops! There it is, Elena found the photographic evidence that Stefan's been stalking her all along. The photo of Katherine. That ought to jam a wrench in this relationship for a few episodes. I definitely understand her reaction of running away, but she PROBABLY shouldn't have taken off her anti-vampire necklace. Or crashed her car into what was probably a vampire.
Dear Vampire Diary,
Alaric Saltzman has a vampire diary!? In it he writes about killing Logan, but he implies not only that he isn't a vampire, but also that he's never seen one. If he's not a vampire and has never seen one, then why does he have that Lapus Lazuli ring?
Well that's a creepy wake-up call! Damon saves Elena from the car crash after she fled Stefan's place, then tosses her in the passenger side of his car and drives to Georgia. Oh great, and he stole her phone AND he noticed she doesn't have her anti-mind control necklace. Girl needs some Folgers in her cup to start turning this morning around.
You have got to be kidding me! Bonnie finally has a chance to do something useful without the ghost of her dead ancestor possessing her body and her witch powers have inexplicably disappeared. My frustration with her character has reached the point of complete irrationality.
Gina Torres? Cool! Making out with Damon? Well…he is as charming as he his dangerously unpredictable, and he did kill his brother's best friend to cover his own murder spree. Also, she seems to be a witch, guess we're having a witch episode.
Okay, so according to Bonnie's grandmother, the reason Bonnie can't use her powers is because her fear of vampires is blocking them off somehow. If fear shuts off witchcraft it doesn't seem terribly practical.
Elena seems to have defeated the entire bar where Damon has taken her at a drinking contest, even though she is a relatively small girl.
Elena had a rough morning, for sure, but Damon's having a whole bad week. First Logan shot him like a dozen times with wooden bullets, now Lexi's Vampire boyfriend is beating him to a pulp with a wooden plank, soaking him and gasoline and is threatening to light him on fire. It's a good thing that wasted Elena is a master conflict mediator.
Well, that was a short-lived cameo for Gina Torres, but at least she didn't die twice in the first two episodes of the series, like Alan Tudyk did on V. Those Firefly alumni have it rough.
You know, I have to concede that for all this show's teenage flights of over-emotional self-indulgence, when it really counts the characters generally have normal, human reactions. When Elena finally gets back to Stefan to confront him she's like, "okay I can deal with vampires and witches, but why didn't you tell me about your creepy fascination with that woman who looks exactly like me?" Honestly, that seems reasonable to me, given all she's seen she pretty much HAS to deal with the supernatural, but this is something Stefan had some control over.
What's worse than finding out that your boyfriend is mainly interested in you because you look like his dead vampire girlfriend, you ask? Well, how about finding out that he saved you from the car accident that killed your parents, but didn't have time to save them too? Oh, oh, and while we're at it, after the car accident your resemblance to said vampire girlfriend cause him to actually stalk you for about a year to "learn everything he could about you" to make sure you weren't actually her? Oh, and one more thing, apparently Elena was also adopted. Yeah, she's having a memorable day…
Okay, so I haven't mentioned this, but Jeremy's spent the episode's B plot making friends with a slightly awkward home schooled love interest (Anna). I bring this up now because she, being one of the few people in town with a reasonable excuse for not having an abundance of common sense, seems to be the one person who's realized that the town's frequency or horrible animal attacks is both alarming and unusual. Everyone in town should be ashamed.
We end the episode coming full circle on that flashback Alaric had about his girlfriend/wife/non-descript significant other. He sees Damon and it reminds him of that time that Damon fed on the woman of ambiguous romantic relation to Alaric. Oops!

If you were commissioned to write part of your story for a book, what part would it be? Would it be a traumatic time in you life, a life changing event, or your journey with Lupus etc.? Would you be able to be so transparent that you open yourself up to criticism from people that do not even know you? This is what Joe Kissack has done in writing his book The Fourth Fisherman.
In reading other reviews about the book, I found several people that had a difficult time with Joe's behavior after he had his life changing experience. I did not agree with some of his actions either, but did not find them very unusual. Joe Kissack carried a lot of pain around with him for years. He dealt with his pain in dysfunctional, addictive ways. Becoming a Christian did not change who he was as a person overnight. He now had the long, tedious journey of maturing into the person he should be without all the baggage.
The Fourth Fisherman is a true story that not only gives us a glimpse into the life of a lost soul but into corporate Hollywood, and the international media. We read first hand how expendable people and the truth are, for the story and the mighty dollar.
For me however, faithfulness resonated from the pages of this book. There was a praying grandmother, a long-suffering wife, a coworker at sea, a stranger miles away, a friend willing to disciple, and most of all, a faithful God, not one, gave up on the person they cared about. They remained steady in their allegiance, loyal, and constant. Each one played a pivotal role in the outcome of this true life drama about three Mexican fisherman lost at sea for almost 300 days and a man lost in life for years.
Even though this was a quick read, it had several layers with deep truths, reminding me of my own shaky time in life and the ones that did not give up on me for good. We all have a story. I commend Joe for being brave and vulnerable, and sharing his. I recommend this inspirational book.

I've written before about the comic strip "Funky Winkerbean" taking on a storyline of an adopted child searching for his birthmother, and after a number of false starts over the years, the reunion finally came this week. If you don't get the strip in your paper (or never check the funnies), you can see them on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer site. The background of Lisa's pregnancy is available in an archive on the Funky Winkerbean site.
I'm glad this finally got resolved, and that the arc included young Wally talking to his adoptive parents about his search (albeit after the fact) and reassuring them of their place in his life. I'll be reading along hoping for more. If this storyline has been meaningful to you, or may be meaningful one day for your kids, check bookstores in October -- strip creator Tom Batiuk mentions in his blog that a book compiling all Lisa's storylines is due then.

We are learning about how hot air rises.
We looked at how a hot air balloon rises up and down.
We used spiral snakes to look at the hot air rising in our own classroom.
We hung some snakes over the radiator. We hung the other snakes over the round table.
We saw that the snakes over the radiator danced when the hot air from the radiator rose up.
Our snakes look lovely and colourful hanging in our classroom now.

Surgery in 1 1/2 days
Ok so surgery is Friday morning. Getting a little nervous but I know that God is in control. I just keep reminding myself of that a little more often. My sister has had the same surgery by the same Dr and said its no biggie. Well, she's a nurse and has already done this before lol! Dr. Scolaro's office called yesterday to tell me what their fee would be....$$$ and the Surgicenter called today to tell me what their fees would be....$$$. I know the surgery needs to be done but was really worrying about how we were going to pay for it. The Dr needs his $ Thursday and the Surgicenter is breaking it up into 3 payments with a payment plan and 1/3 of it due at surgery time or after or something like that. God has totally provided. Nathan will get his financial aid for school tomorrow in time to pay for Surgicenter fees in part or whole, not sure and we still have paycheck left for Dr. fees. So thank you God for your provisions! Well, those are my thoughts so far. Any ideas on how to recover quickly or not get freaked out when they take you back? Hmmm I think I might take my MP3 player and listen to that while they prep etc. while I'm awake still. It will at least distract me a little. Thanks again in advance for the ideas! Now whose bringing me icecream Friday night?

Mayport homeowners can skip this tiresome task completely by working with a professional cleaning service company that specializes in move out cleaning services. Move out cleaning is specially developed to have properties ready for those moving in to settle in as quickly as possible. Having the house cleaned completely prior to you move out refers common courtesy if nothing else, but in some cases it is a mandatory requirement, especially if you're a previous renter.
That there are lots of reasons why it is imminent for Mayport renters to work with a professional home cleaning service provider when they are moving in or moving out. There is absolutely nothing basic about a move. The scope of the cleaning requirements that require to be done can be frustrating indeed, specifically if the occupant is burdened with work and other commitments.
Getting ready for move out cleaning.
The agreement signed by the homeowner and the renter typically consists of a stipulation that requires the latter to leave the home as they had actually found it-empty, pristine, and undamaged. In addition, for renters who have actually decided to move out, the property owner might include additional charges against deposit dollars if certain areas are not cleaned out.
Cleaning is absolutely not the top priority for somebody who is faced with the formidable difficulties of settling into a new location and starting a new life. There are numerous things that need to be achieved in so little time, not the least of which is completing work and other requirements prior to the move. In order to fulfill their end of the contract, the more useful alternative for the tenant is to employ Mayport expert cleaning service provider, rather than do the cleaning up themselves.
The main benefit of working with Mayport professional cleaning company is that they can do the task more thoroughly and more effectively. A cleaning crew can work wonders, and recover a place that has actually been lived in for fairly some time into an area that is virtually brand new. An individual without adequate experience in using cleaning tools and cleaning chemicals would not understand exactly what kind of substance to use to get rid of a specific type of stain.
What to expect when moving in
Moving into a new place in Mayport can be exhausting. Most likely, the new arrivals do not know anyone in the area, and there is no person to offer an extra hand in preparing the place for the furnishings and personal effects of the renter. Property owners or managers usually require the last resident to leave the premises in excellent condition, it is still vital for the new resident to ensure that the area is indeed a wholesome, safe, and enjoyable location to live in. Professional cleaning providers provide not just end-of-tenancy cleaning services. They may also be called upon to perform a comprehensive cleaning and maintenance, check on the property, check the little details, and make sure that the new home is indeed ready for occupancy.
Your to-do list prior to moving out:
Before you leave your house, look for broken things and make certain you replace every one of them. In case you forget to replace such issues like lights or missing out on screws, it is most likely that your homeowner would take a huge piece off your initial deposit for these minor items.
If the house has wall to wall carpeting, you will certainly need to decide in between working with an expert to clean it or turning to cleaning it on your own. This decision would be simple if you take a look at the existing condition of the carpeting and match it to the initial state. When you make this decision, bringing it to the original condition ought to be your objective.
You have to also examine the walls to see if there are spots on them. Walls with stains can be a big issue due to direct exposure. Make sure you eliminate wall-stains with a moderate hand to avoid eroding the paint since if that takes place, you will certainly lose a big portion of your deposit money.
After you have done all the cleaning, ensure that you check the ovens and refrigerators. The seals of the refrigerators need to be in correct condition, and the ovens need to be clean enough for use. These checks will enhance the probabilities of getting the deposit sum in whole when moving out in Mayport.
Quick Tip for Mayport residentsThere are literally lots of business that provide move out cleaning and steam carpeting cleaning throughout where you live, and picking the best one will mean a convenient, problem-free move-out experience and hundreds of dollars of savings. If you are on a tight schedule for moving out of your existing home, book as far in advance as possible.

|Figure 1: Changes in plasma trace element levels (Zn, Mn, Se and Co) for the different relative exercise intensities studied and the 7 min recovery period.
[...] in euhydrated well-trained endurance athletes no effects on plasma levels of Zn, Se, Mn and Co were observed either during medium duration exercise, at a full range of intensities (41–92%VO2peak), or during a seven-minute recovery period. These subjects showed no deficiency in Zn or Se and probably were not deficient in Mn or Co either (though cutoff levels are not known).So, if you have not opened your "high quality trace element" supplement yet, make use of your 14-days conversion right ;-)

Another CBC radio broadcast recorded in Toronto. This is also from 1995 with Kingston band, Weeping Tile, that helped launch the career of a TDIT fav, Sarah Harmer. Much of the material is from their first major label record, Cold Snap and fans of the band will be pleased to hear this is a great sounding show recorded at the Opera House. This is the only Weeping Tile show I've heard, so I'm guessing they are hard to come by. So if you have any of their shows, let me know.

Embassy of Sierra Leone Grants Humanitarian Award to Airlink for Ebola Response
Last night, Airlink was honored to receive the Humanitarian Award in the International Non-Governmental Organizations Category for contributions to the fight against the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone from the Ambassador of the Republic of Sierra Leone. Airlink accepted the award on behalf of its partners, which included 10 airlines and 37 nonprofit humanitarian aid organizations, as well as major funder, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation.
"It is important to recognize those that worked behind the scenes, that were not prominent in the media, but that were critical to the Ebola response. Airlink played a vital role in supporting the Sierra Leonean diaspora's ability to come together to support our brothers and sisters in a time of dire need. We honor their tremendous efforts," said Ambassador of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Bockari Kortu Stevens.
Ambassador Stevens gave the award to Airlink Executive Director Steven Smith as part of a celebration of the country's 55th anniversary of independence at the Montgomery College Cultural and Arts Center in Silver Spring, MD. The Ambassador was a key leadership figure in the response to Ebola, working with groups like Airlink and the National Organization of Sierra Leoneans in North America (NOSLINA) in the United States to pave the way for shipment of critical supplies that helped eradicate Ebola in the country.
"This was a tremendous effort that would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of many in this room, our partners, and let's not forget those on the ground in Sierra Leone," said Steven Smith, Executive Director of Airlink. "For Airlink, setting up an Air Bridge to send supplies and medical doctors into Sierra Leone to help was very important for us. In fact, it was the biggest challenge we ever faced as an organization," he said.
The Paul Allen Foundation conferred a $3 million grant to Airlink as part of its #TackleEbola campaign to eradicate the spread of the virus globally. Airlink used the grant to establish an "Air Bridge" between the US and Europe and directly into West Africa. Through the Air Bridge, Airlink and its partners delivered more than 1.3 million pounds of cargo through more than 100 separate shipments. The total value of the cargo delivered exceeded $55 million (USD).
When Ebola hit West Africa in 2014, the logistics chain was severely constricted and the amount of critical, basic medical supplies reached an all-time high. Throughout the course of the outbreak, many aid organizations found it difficult to deliver the aid necessary to combat the epidemic. Airlink served as a central hub for a variety of nonprofits and aid agencies, coordinating shipments of crucial supplies that could only be delivered by airlift.

Duncan may offer plea deal in California case
Tue., Feb. 22, 2011, 8:49 p.m.
INDIO, Ca. - Already sentenced to death for killing an Idaho boy, a man accused in the 1997 slaying of 10-year-old Anthony Martinez of Beaumont, Ca., offered a settlement Tuesday that could draw the case to a close without going to trial.
Attorneys for Joseph Edward Duncan III said they were prepared to sumbit an offer to the Riverside County district attorney, spurred by his decision to review all capital cases in the county. They spoke at a brief hearing Tuesday morning in an Indio courtroom.
The defense attorneys declined to go into detail about the offer. Prosecutors would not comment.
If Duncan pleads guilty, it may end his tumultuous two-year stay in Riverside County and finally bring closure in Anthony's case, 14 years after his death.
Duncan, 47, has been uncooperative until recently, following extensive delays and questions about his competency and attorneys. The case has long been a balancing act between justice for Anthony's family and the strain on county resources.
Anthony was abducted outside his Beaumont home in April 1997 by a man who first asked a group of boys for help looking for his lost cat, then forced Anthony into his car at knifepoint. His body was found 15 days later, bound in duct tape, north of Indio near Joshua Tree National Park. He had been molested and beaten to death.
Duncan received three death sentences and nine life terms for the brutal kidnapping and murder of an Idaho family in 2005. After he was arrested in that case, he confessed to killing Anthony, according to investigators in Idaho.

The final chapter of a criminal trial played out in a courtroom Wednesday as the family of a Burbank man who was found dead six years ago with 32 stab wounds heardthe man convicted in the murder being sentenced to 26 years to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Jorge Villalobos, 47, of San Gabriel, was found guilty of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Glen Giles, who was found dead on his neighbors porch on Feb. 26, 2008. Giles left a trail of blood from his bedroom, across the street, up his neighbor's driveway and on the doorbell.
Through tears, relatives on Wednesday remembered Giles as a gentle giant with an infectious laugh who loved basketball.
"Our hearts are still broken," said his niece Alisa Osterman, who called Giles her role model and confidant.
Giles' family was close-knit and held gatherings on birthdays, holidays, and "for no reason at all," Osterman said. "Our get-togethers will never be the same."

hi there lovely friends xoxo
eeeeeeep! I've just finished my 12 tags of 2016, these Tim Holtz remixes are awesome fun and get the creativity juices flowing 'a' plenty :-)))
To go see Tim Holtz's remix tag and how he's created his beauty - PRESS HERE - you can see all the amazing creations inspired by Tim that are uploaded too!
I went with a feather remix, tis the littlest of things that make my heart sing and brings smiles to my face, such as the springtime birdies singing sweetly in the trees which prompted this tag and I soooo looooves feathers too, there's something magical about them that draws me in...
bright, beautiful colour is 'springing' up all around us, springtime is soooo totally inspiring, the colour palette was easy, just oodles of it - teehee!
me being me lol... I start with about 5 or 6 ideas in my head and just go with it...
and this was where I started, 2 tags, one gesso'd, then when dry I popped it through my Bigshot with the Tim Holtz thinlets 'mixed media' die. I adhered Tim holtz's patterned tissue wrap to the other tag with matte gel medium - once dry I adhere the die-cut tag over the top of the tissue wrap tag (again with help medium)
I take a selection of the new Tim Holtz distress crayons from all 3 sets (oh dear I'm addicted to all 3 sets and roll on more sets eeeeeep!). And crayon in areas over the die-cut tag (one colour at a time is my secret) - starting with yellow every time and working outwards from there with similar colours ie. oranges, pinks, reds - where I want to add a little blue or green I simply leave a gap of white to crayon some in and slowly and carefully blend outwards - it doesn't matter if you leave white as you blend either - or popping blues and greens over the yellows is easy as they blend like a dream - also you don't need to blend every crayon stroke out! Whilst I scribble over the die-cuts I dig in a little deeper so the 'die-cut out bits' get coloured crayon chunks fast in them too!
Once colourised I die-cut out the 2 feathers from Tim Holtz's Sizzix die 'Feathers Duo Bigz and Texture Treads'
I carefully wipe away all the surface crayon from each feather, leaving the crayon that is trapped in the 'die-cut out bits' - make sure you wring out your wet wipe - you don't want a soggy wet wipe!
Also I die-cut out 3 feathers from a background created from multiple colours of the distress paints which are dabbed onto card stock then spritzed with water to let the paints merge. I give these 3 feathers a vavavoom with the crayons, basically following my same techniques as above, just this time I enhance a yellow distress painted area with yellow crayon, the same for a pink area, I've pink over pink, but then you may like to try see if the yellow crayon sits kool over the pink paint - hey if it doesn't simply wipe away with the way wipe and try another colour!
Ann a couple of doodles with the Ranger Ink Fude ball pen - the black makes the colour 'PoP'
I gesso a black tag for my base, I use very little gesso and gradually build my layers, dragging what little gesso I have on my brush in a cross-hatch fashion around my tag, I aim for a hit and miss distress look with more gesso in the middle of the tag.
A piece of up-cycled corrugated cardboard is trimmed to size and gutted to leave a large oblong bottom area where the 'lightly gesso'd Ideaology quote band' will sit. I paint the corrugated tag with lashings of Tim holtz's new and totally amazing (matte I might add) distress crazing medium - swooning lol (and let this dry naturally)
meanwhile I take the 'Speckles' stencil and ranger Ink (amazing marshmallowy feeling) texture paste and add a little texture to the top and bottom corners (distress crayons loooooves texture paste)
scribble your crayons over the dried texture paste (Ranger Inks texture paste dries über fast too) then blends with your finger tips, once blended carefully add another totally different crayon colour on the texture paste not blending this time. The stronger/darker colours I always use for my last layers.
the corrugated tag and slightly 'curled/shaped' feathers are sewn onto the black background tag with a sewing machine - my beloved 'Singer' and then I add more crayon doodles. Where there is a pinky feather edge I add a little pink crayon to the background where it sits, and if there's a yellow feather edge, then I add yellow crayon doodles where that sits - thus the colour edges of the feathers reflect the same colours onto the background . The corrugated cardboard gets a coating of the White crayon, which rubs into the 'crazed crackles' beautifully, I repeat to build up a dusty looking topcoat and in places is ply don't rub in the crayon! The quote band is adhered to the tag plus it's wrapped with cotton too. The Feathers are adhered into place at the same time as the tag .
more doodles, this time with a Ranger Ink splodger edge (oh dear I left mine at my mates so I had to raid my purse for a credit card!) - the splodger works better for this job as it's unique shape gets into and around the raised texture paste/corrugated cardboard edges - any ways I add in lines of the distress paints, I also add lines to the bottom feathers!
more lines in various colours and 'Fude ball' pen doodles too, catch the left hand edges of your die-cut feathers too. Once the lines are dry take the fabulously addictive and fun Distress 'Splatter Brush" dip the base of the bristles directly into Distress 'Picket Fence' paint, then whilst holding the top-mid lengths of the bristles use your other hand and pull your fingers across the base bristles - splat city hahaha (always practice on a spare sheet of paper first to perfect your technique eeeeeep!). The closer to the tag the more precision, the further away means you hit a wider area of tag - again eeeeep! (Can you tell I loooooooves this tool lol)
also the edges of the corrugated cardboard get a haphazard coat of 'Antiqued Bronze/Tarnished Brass' distress paints.
where would we be without 'Small Talk' - it's quick, easy and most effective - I add it to the gaping big hole in the middle of my tag, also it balanced up the 2 opposite 'black splatter corners', now there is a pathway through my tag, the eye has an easy route to peruse my tag, a flow, a balance...
to address the balance more, I darken the left hand side of the tag with a couple so spritz's of Pumice Stone Distress Spray Stain (covering the top right hand corner and feathers with kitchen roll) I spray from approx a hands length distance away, for a mid coverage of stain. Over this I spritz (x2) the new Tarnished Brass Mica Spray too which is my final touch - the magical touch that draws me to feathers...
