Riding the Pink Bermda Breeze Buses Sep 09, 2010
Getting around Bermuda is very easy by way of the pink transit buses operated by the Public Transportation Board. Bermuda Breeze buses operate on 11 routes reaching all points of the islands. All bus lines depart from the central Hamilton Bus Terminal. Bus stops along the routes are either stone shelters or marked by pink or blue poles. (Pink poles mean the bus is traveling towards Hamilton. Blue poles mean the bus is traveling away from Hamilton.)
Bus drivers will stop to let you off at a beach or attraction along the way. Just tell the driver to let you off at the Crystal Caves or at Verdmont, for example. But, be sure to follow Bermuda custom and wish the driver a
"Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon" when you board!
Cash fares range from $3.00 to $4.50 depending on zones traveled. Visitors may purchase one to seven day passes that are valid on both the bus and the ferry systems. (Passes are the way to go for exploring all over Bermuda.)
The web site has route maps and schedules.

Morphine onset of action
Common Questions and Answers about Morphine onset of action
I am seeking and trying to find a way to relieve my pain through other methods I do not want to take pills, I have only increased once in 10 months since the
my pain, not because I haven't needed too, because I don't want to become addicted, and I am afraid of addiction as I have seen it in action. I want to be free of it if I can and if there is an alternative therapy.

What your son has may have something to do with the elongation
his superior cornu
the thyroid cartilage. This is one
the weakest structures in the neck so if he did sustain a neck injury this area could easily become bent or stretched and rub against his hyoid bone because it is elongated. That clicking noise may be the elongated cartilage coming into contact with his hyoid bone or cervical transverse process.

The difference is that it has two actions, like all opiates it relieves pain but it also acts as an antagonist to certain opiate receptors in the brain which blocks the
other opiates you take while on methadone. However, methadone is much much easier to wean off of than other opiates and it will eliminate your withdrawal symptoms b/c it binds to the same opiate receptors as the other drugs ur taking.

Naloxone is a μ-opioid receptor competitive antagonist, and its rapid blockade of those receptors often produces rapid
withdrawal symptoms. Naloxone also has an antagonist

Injection vs. Oral or IR VS SR Oxycodone produces more euphoria and a faster onset of action! So, if you compare oral Dilaudid to Oxycodone, without question, Dilaudid(Hydromorphone)IR is less addictive than Oxycodone IR(Percocet). Even correct dosage of Oxycodone produces ''Morphine-like'' Euphoria With that said; Dilaudid(Hydromorphone) is more than twice as potent as Oxycodone and if a person injects Hydromorphone it too is highly addictive!

on the prescription. Methadone is highly lipophilic with rapid GI absorption and
. It has a large initial volume of distribution with slow tissue release. Oral bioavailability is high, ~ 80%. Unlike morphine there are no active metabolites; biotransformation to an active drug is not required. The major route of metabolism is hepatic with significant fecal excretion; renal excretion can be enhanced by urine acidification (pH <6.0).

Suboxone itself can be abused for short periods of time, until tolerance develops to the drug. Snorting Suboxone reportedly results in a faster time
, without allowing the absorption of the naloxone that prevents intravenous use. Finally, the remission model of Suboxone use implies long term use of the drug.

What is naltrexone? Naltrexone is a medication that blocks the effects
drugs known as opioids (a class that includes
, heroin or codeine). It competes with these drugs for opioid receptors in the brain. It was originally used to treat dependence on opioid drugs but has recently been approved by the FDA as treatment for alcoholism.

The only real way to do that is to stop for awhile. That course
contains a number
pitfalls however. First - You really have to get past the acute and even some of the post acute withdrawal to judge how you feel without medication. A good taper plan is essential but even then it is no picnic and many people find it difficult to do without help and support.

The use
meds in MS is something that I know about only from reading and not from experience. My concern is why you are suddenly becoming symptomatic on it. I would wonder about another med causing the levels to shoot up. I looked it up and there are a couple meds that can increase the blood levels of gabapentin, such as Darvon and Morphine. There is a huge list of drugs with lesser effects on the levels of gabapenten: http://www.drugs.***/drug-interactions/neurontin_d03182.

These symptoms mimic that of alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal purportedly due to a similar mechanism
. Unique to this case is that this geriatric patient developed debilitating withdrawal symptoms after a gradual, week-long taper of gabapentin along with flu-like symptoms. It is proposed herein that a gabapentin taper should follow a course similar to that of a benzodiazepine taper -- slowly and over a period of weeks to months. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.

Today was a potential D-Day for earnings reports in the tech sector with two key DJIA targets reporting earnings. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) and International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) are both giving back some fresh gains after their earnings after investors were demanding more.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) reported earnings of $0.56 EPS on $12.91 billion in revenues. Thomson Reuters had estimates of $0.50 EPS and $12.84 billion in sales. Next quarter's guidance was put at $13.6 billion, plus or minus $500 million and Thomson Reuters sees $0.55 and $13.43 billion in sales. The gross margin came in 64% for the first quarter and the company sees margin at 62% plus or minus a couple of points for the coming quarter. All investors need to know is that Intel hit a new multi-year high today and they will understand that this would have had to have been a beat-big quarter and a guide much higher in guidance to keep the bulls happy.
International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE: IBM) reported earnings of $2.78 EPS and $24.7 billion in sales; Thomson Reuters had estimates of $2.65 EPS and $24.77 billion in sales. For the quarter ahead, IBM's guidance for all of 2012 is being revised to at least $15.00 from a prior target of $14.85 EPS. Thomson Reuters was already up at $14.93 for the year. IBM's estimated services backlog at March 31 was $139 billion, down 2% year over year or up 1% adjusting for currency. This backlog was actually $141 billion just at the end of 2011.
Intel had already hit a multi-year high today ahead of earnings and IB was within about 2% of its all-time high. Neither report should be considered bad by any real measurement of expectations. The problem is that these are not going to keep propelling the shares without some extra oomph coming from the market.
Intel closed up $0.06 at $28.47 today with a new high of $28.78 for the year and shares are down 3.1% at $27.58 in the after-hours.
IBM shares closed up $4.73 at $207.45 on the day against an all-time and yearly high of $210.69 and shares are down by about 2.2% at $202.88 in the after-hours session.

The shortlisted pieces, on display at London's Tate Britain gallery, include an interactive digital reconstruction of Osama Bin Laden's base in Afghanistan and a headless sculpture based on a 18th-Century French painting.
Last year the £40,000 prize was won by transvestite potter Grayson Perry, whose vases beat the Chapman Brothers, whose lewd inflatable dolls had been favourites to win.
In the past Charles Saatchi, among others, has dismissed the pieces shortlisted for the prize as "pseudo-controversial claptrap".

Next Tuesday the Board of Supervisors is scheduled to approve the purchase of a parking lot on 24th Street that will be turned into San Francisco's first mini-town square.
Actually, it's a done deal. The board's Budget and Finance Committee voted unanimously (5-0) last week to authorize the city to shell out $4.2 million to buy the property from the Noe Valley Ministry. I'm told the vote will be unanimous, or close to it, at the full Board. As early as Tuesday, neighborhood organizers can start seriously planning to build the Noe Valley Town Square.
"It's a reality," said Todd David, one of the organizers who has been manning a fundraising table at 24th and Sanchez, since May 2012. "How often do you get to create a park in your neighborhood?"
How Noe Valley got there, against great odds, the money that got raised — and likely more to come from the state — is detailed in today's Bottom Line column at sfchronicle.com.
It could also be an object lesson for other San Francisco neighborhoods.

What are symbols from "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think that one symbol in the narrative is the fence. It is the fence that divides worlds of reality. On one side of the fence, the best wine is served, dinner conversation is pleasant, and life is good. On the other side of the fence, the worst in human cruelty is evident. The fence is a symbol because it demarcates this difference i reality. At the same time, the fence is also a symbol of how this can be overcome. Bruno and Shmuel meet at the end of the fence, where it can be burrowed under and overcome. The fence and its divisions are overcome with the friendship of both boys. While they die in the process, the symbol of division is overcome.
I would also suggest that another symbol in the novel would have to be the gas chamber. It is in the gas chamber where death is evident. Yet, the symbolism of the gas chamber is that everyone in it is equal. Death is universal. At the time, Bruno and Shmuel, one German boy and one Jewish boy, are seen as the same. There is no difference in the cruelty of the gas chamber. Yet, it is within this realm where Bruno clings to Shmuel's hand and tells him that they will be "best friends for life." A symbol of destruction ends up becoming a testament to how human beings should act. In this instant, the gas chamber is a symbol of transformation.
I feel like the smoke clouds played a big part in the symbolism factor of this book. It showed that there was death in the air, moving all around, all the Non-Aryans were killed and burned. Knowing it was there but not knowing how to get rid of it.
A possible symbol could be the "striped pajamas" themselves, since they do play a big role. It is what divides the Jewish from the Germans, more specifically Bruno's family in this case. It is also, technically speaking, the reason why entire Jewish communities were being murdered off the face of the Earth.

Tony's quick take: Another interesting pick by the Indians and now their fourth pick out of six picks on the second day of the draft on a prep player. He is listed with the last name of McAdams by MLB, but he is in the process of having his last name changed to Schubert and is already going by that name. He has impressive size at 6'4" and 215 pounds coming out of high school, and has some big power. His future is as a corner outfielder, maybe left field, and the power is certainly very intriguing, especially from the right side. There are some concerns with his hit tool and if he will be consistent enough to showcase that raw power as a professional, but you have to like toolsy and athletic players with upside at this point. Another interesting pickup for the Indians.
Jeff Ellis: Josh Mcadams, who is changing his name to Josh Schubert, is a big right handed outfielder and looks like what you want a right fielder to look like. He has a great arm and some definite power potential in his frame, and is viewed as a risk/reward player. His plus power is on display in batting practice, but the question is about his ability to hit. He needs some work at the plate to refine himself as a hitter, but the power is there and it is what excites teams. He has signed late to play at High Point and is considered very signable. As a bonus his profile is exactly what this system lacks in terms of depth. He is the second right handed risk/reward outfielder the Indians have gambled on today.
Press release: Batted .447 with six home runs, nine doubles and three triples to his team to a Region 7-AA title and a third-round state playoff appearance…Went 6-1 with a 2.68 ERA in his time on the mound…Signed to play baseball at High Point University (NC).

Mike McGinn (former Mayor)
SUBJECT: Mayor announces opening of new Belltown Community Center
Mayor announces opening of new Belltown Community Center
Center opens for public use after lengthy search for space
SEATTLE - Mayor Mike McGinn today announced the opening of the Belltown Community Center at 415 Bell St.
"This community gathering space has been a long time coming," said McGinn. "I thank the community for their creativity, their patience and their perseverance on this project. We now have a new, safe and attractive space where the community can gather."
The project, funded by the 1999 Community Centers and Seattle Center Levy, was among eight other Seattle Parks and Recreation community centers constructed or expanded around the city. Finding an appropriate and affordable site for the Belltown Community Center proved a challenge. After looking at some 30 sites, the City entered a 10-year lease for a 6,000 square foot vacant building, formerly a ZUM fitness center, to house the community center.
Building improvements are complete and the center opens to the public with a celebration from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, September 14.
The center features many of the priorities identified by the community: a small conference room, a space for Seattle Police to use, a children's play area, and an opening to the alley for use in warm weather.
It's a space where Belltown residents can get to know neighbors, hold community meetings, take martial arts classes and adult programs, have dances and other evening events, and create a community board to work with the center staff.

We could just be warped by pounding these out every week.
Yet, the sentence a man received for assaulting a female jogger while brandishing an imitation firearm seems light.
To us.
As for the possible sentence hanging over the head of a woman who allegedly made children perform lewd acts in front of her?
That one sounds perfect.
(If the sick accusations are true.)
Sean Luke Salaber was sentenced last week to four years in county jail for tackling a female jogger from behind, putting an imitation gun to her head and groping her until she screamed and fought him off. A jury had found the 23-year-old National Guardsman from Riverside guilty on Sept. 7 of one felony count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud, or deceit, one misdemeanor count of brandishing an imitation firearm, one misdemeanor count of assault, and one misdemeanor count of battery. The attack happened around 6:40 p.m. Sept. 24, 2015, on a trail near Aliso and Wood Canyons Regional Park in Laguna Niguel, where bystanders heard the victim's screams and Salaber was arrested by sheriff's deputies a short distance away, in a residential neighborhood near Kite Hill Drive and Becard Drive. The Orange County District Attorney's office provided some of the victim's emotional impact statement to the court before sentencing: "He underestimated me. He saw a lean 5-foot-7 woman and he saw someone he could dominate. Think again. I outwitted him at his own game. I felt his gun pressed against my head, and without a weapon, I fearlessly fought back anyway. I out-screamed him when he tried to cover my mouth. I drew the attention of the witnesses by refusing to believe that this was my fate. And better yet, I refused to buy into the idea that he wins today or ever. He chose the wrong girl . I will continue to use my strength to fight against evil like him."
Brandi Alma Valadez was charged last week with sexually assaulting a little boy and making him and a little girl perform lewd acts in front of the 40-year-old. Conviction on two felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14, two felony counts of forcible lewd acts on a child under 14, and two felony counts of child abuse, with a sentencing enhancement for multiple victims, could send Valadez to state prison for 30 years to life, according to the OCDA. Prosecutors say Valdez knew the children and was in a position of trust. (The identities and relationships of minor victims to alleged sexual assaulters and each other are withheld to protect them.) Aware the boy, who was under the age of 13 at the time, was committing lewd acts with the girl, who was under age 10, in Valadez's residence prompted the adult to force the children to engage in those acts in front of her during the summer of 2014, according to the OCDA. She is being prosecuted under the legal theory that she aided and abetted the sexual assault by not stopping it from happening, according to the OCDA, which adds the adult is also accused of sexually assaulting the boy. The woman is also alleged to have inflicted "unjustifiable physical pain and mental suffering on the children," and of threatening the boy with a hot bath that would scald him if he did not sexually assault the girl, the OCDA says. Valadez, who is being held on $1 million bail, has a continued arraignment hearing set for Nov. 4 at Central Jail in Santa Ana.

(Survey of Novels and Novellas)
The environment in England during the 1880's and 1890's was especially fertile for the development of new trends in literature. As the century came to a close, all the giants of the novel, except George Meredith, had either died or stopped writing. Even Thomas Hardy, who can be justly classified as either "Victorian" or "modern," quit writing prose in 1895 and turned to poetry. The great Victorian poets, too, were disappearing: Matthew Arnold died in 1888, Robert Browning in 1889, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson in 1892. The Victorian stage, for decades the province of producers and directors who spared no expense to provide "spectacle" to audiences whose penchant for grand performances demanded ever-greater mechanical wonders on the boards, was becoming the province of men such as George Bernard Shaw. His plays, while amusing at times, generally abandoned the grandiose for the middle class and did so with a striking (and sometimes disturbing) sense of realism. Upstarts such as Oscar Wilde and Walter Pater were turning their backs on "traditional" subjects in art and presenting material that the general populace could only describe as decadent.
The younger generation of writers had turned away from their English ancestors, seeking inspiration from French novelists whose naturalistic treatment of subjects glorified the commonplace and vulgar while minimizing the good in traditional morality; Honoré de Balzac andÉmile Zola became the luminaries whom budding authors copied with dedication and fidelity. Among this generation of writers and readers, the Victorian notion of "high seriousness" was giving way to a concern for subjects only whispered about during the heyday of that glorious queen who gave her name to the period. That aging lady still occupied the throne, but everyone knew that she was to die soon, and with her would pass an "age" in English life.

Top emerging consumer trends so far in 2017
Top emerging trends so far in 2017
Here at Stuff we're always looking at what trends are going to influence advertising and how consumers are seeing the world. As we now move deeper into 2017, we can see that there has already been a shift in how brands are communicating. To understand future potential changes we've pulled together the top trends for 2017 that are being used in advertising messaging this year.
Firstly, here's a few questions answered for you:
What is a trend?
A trend is general direction in which something is moving or changing. This post focuses on the trends that may potentially impact consumer's decisions and how campaigns have and will react to this.
Why are trends important?
Simple – trend knowledge allows us to produce content that customers can engage with.
What happens if you don't create content your customers can engage with?
Abercrombie & Fitch started in 1892 and in the last few years has closed 275 stores. To try and connect with their new customer they attempted a new 'no logo' image but still failed. They have neither evolved alongside their previous, ageing customers or mirrored potential new customer's values.
So, what trends are we seeing in 2017?
This is an evolvement of the transparency trend, which many companies have utilised in the last few years. This trend is fuelled by a distrust of global brands and the Millienials and Zed Generation are more tolerant to advertising. Also, material goods are seen as less important – experiences are more important.
Lidl have created the #LidlSurprises campaign where skeptical customers of their products meet up with their producers. This took out the entirety of middle men in the advertising process and took the customer to the producer. Burger King amongst others have done a similar campaign – taking haters from Twitter direct to the product and filming their reactions.
No Limits
This trend has potentially developed off the back of the feminist movement – with campaigns like This Girl Can which empowered women, we are now empowering each individual. Those who live with boundaries will turn them into possibilities – with events like the Invictus Games (founded by Prince Harry in 2014), people are now celebrating and overcoming their limits – which is incredible.
We read recently that the pursuit for perfection is over – hip hip hooray! Life recently has been portrayed through posed photographs on Facebook and an edited Instagram filter. This trend will see a celebration of faults in a light hearted tone of voice with the message – if it's not flawless, then you're probably doing it right.
Unfortunately too, this trend is probably why Donald Trump won the election as people are tired of politicians not saying yes or no. Trump says what he thinks and even writes his own tweets – his voters see him as 'real' person.
This recent advert from Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is a perfect example of this realism trend:
Trends are usually associated with fashion and it is a good place to look for the structure of trends – especially pace. Last year Tommy Hilfiger took ahead in this race by creating 'See Now, Buy Now' runway shows. The shows are also broadcast live globally and all the clothes worn by the models are available to buy immediately online. To further resonate this immediacy trend and in homage to this, the trend magazine View 2 run by David Shah brought forward its usual release date by 6 weeks. This trend is very important – we will see it develop in our day to day action, more than just paying with a tap of a card.
This trend has been and will be around for a while, but we feel it will develop. The aim of this trend is to seem real, established and down to earth. In one of Nationwide's adverts the spoken word poet Hollie McNish reads aloud her poem (in one take) about her six-year old daughter. It resonates with their customers about parenting.
Feminism & Empowering Women
This new campaign from Durex is a perfect example of how companies are communicating this developing trend. Durex says there is an inequality in the bedroom and created the tag – #OrgasmsForAll. Traditionally a male focused brand, it's moving forward. Expect more male focused brands to follow suit.
Communication: Local & Community
Finally, the method of communication and value in what is being said is changing. People now see peer to peer recommendations as the only truth. One company that has done this very well is Talktalk. They have set up a hub on Mumnset – an online community dedicated to giving real, honest advice to parents from parents. This hub helps give support to parents about new technologies and safe internet use. So, not only have they got their brand on a site that people trust – they have a huge resource of comments and direct feedback to help shape their products.
What next?
One idea that came from a recent trend talk at Stuff was adaptability – with Brexit at the forefront of many people's questions about the future, adaptability could be key not only for advertising messages but how agencies work too.
Look out for our next trends blog post.

Losing my mind over potty training my almost 4yo
Any tips? Ideas? Something I haven't tried?
Quoting FarmGirl2B:
My son will turn 4 in Feb and will NOT use the potty. He was doing well at the beginning of the summer, but once he started speech therapy it was a no go. I also am at my wits end, as I have an almost 2 yr old and one due in Feb. I cannot afford 3 kids in diapers!
Stop for a bit, even just a few weeks. then Try again. When you start trying make it a routine, first thing in the morning and every hours or so, after meals, before you go any where, ect. Every 15 minutes sounds like way to much. One thing that helped my son was pocket change everytime he went then he got to go buy a toy with the money
If it makes you feel any better, I have a 5 year old that isn't potty trained. Yes, she does have a possible medical condition where she may have a constent leak so that just confuses things and has to wear a pull up because of that. She also uses it out of laziness so hardly ever pees in the toilet. She does poop in the toilet every time LUCKILY. Now I have my 2 1/2 year old and I am dreading starting him because I don't want to fail again. Sorry no advice but you are not alone. Good Luck!
Quoting Jenner8:
Potty Training is so much fun. I have a girl who begged for Pull-Ups, but decided to use them the same as diapers. I'll admit I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally I told her it was up to her, but it was her responsibility to change her own diaper if she decided not to potty... For about two weeks she had to take off her dirty diaper, throw it in the trash, wash her butt, and get her clean diaper on all by herself (yeah I cleaned her and the bathroom up more than once). She hated having to touch a dirty diaper and started using the potty. Good luck... and try not to worry so much, he'll figure it out eventually. So happy to know that I'll never have to deal with that stage again! Looking back I wouldn't have pushed so much, but oh well live and learn.
DD1 turned five last Friday and she's not trained. She just recently started being aware. I am really hoping to get it done this week while school's out for Thanksgiving. If I'm lucky both girls will be in panties next week. Fingers crossed.

Collected Works: Volume 38: Preface by Progress Publishers
Volume 38 of the Fourth Edition of the Collected Works of
V. I. Lenin comprises résumés and excerpts from books,
plus his critical remarks and evaluations concerning various aspects
of Marxist philosophy; it also includes notes, fragments and other
philosophical material.
The volume includes Lenin's philosophical writings first
published in Lenin Miscellanies IX and XII in
1929-30, and then, from 1933 to 1947, published repeatedly
as a separate book under the title of Philosophical
Notebooks. This material comprises the contents of
ten notebooks, eight of which, relating to 1914-15, were
entitled by Lenin Notebooks on Philosophy. In
addition, the volume includes comments on books dealing
with problems of philosophy and the natural sciences made
by Lenin as separate notes in other notebooks containing
preparatory material, as well as excerpts from books by
various authors, with notes and under lineation by Lenin.
Unlike previous editions of Philosophical
Notebooks, this volume contains Lenin's comments and
markings in G. V. Plekhanov's pamphlet Fundamental
Questions of Marxism and in V. Shulyatikov's book
The Justification of Capitalism in West-European
Philosophy, from Descartes to E. Mach, markings and
underlinings on those pages of A. Deborin's article
"Dialectical Materialism" which were not
included in earlier editions; comments in G. V. Plekhanov's
book N. G. Chernyshevsky, including markings, which
in the course of work on this edition were proved to have
been made by Lenin; and a number of notes on books and
reviews of books on philosophy and the natural
sciences. Published in this volume for the first time is a
note which Lenin wrote late in 1904 on a review of The
Wonders of Life and The Riddle of the
Universe, two works by the German biologist Ernst
A large number of the items included in Philosophical
Notebooks relate to 1914-16. It is no coincidence that
Lenin devoted so much attention to philosophy, and above
all, to Marxist dialectics, precisely during the First World
War, a period in which all the contradictions of capitalism
became extremely acute and a revolutionary crisis
matured. Only materialist dialectics provided the basis for
making a Marxist analysis of the contradictions of
imperialism, revealing the imperialist character of the
First World War, exposing the opportunism and
social-chauvinism of the leaders of the Second
International and working out the strategy and tactics of
struggle of the proletariat. All the works of Lenin written
during that period—the classical treatise
Imperialism as the Highest Stage of Capitalism,
Socialism and War, The United States of Europe Slogan, The
Junius Pamphlet, Socialist Revolution and the Right of
Nations to Self-Determination and other
writings—are inseparable from Philosophical
Notebooks. The creative elaboration of Marxist
philosophy, the Marxist dialectical method, and a profound
scientific analysis of the new historical period were the
basis for Lenin's great discoveries, which equipped the
proletariat with a new theory of socialist
revolution. Philosophical Notebooks is inspired by
a creative approach to Marxist philosophy, which is
indissolubly bound up with reality, the struggle of the
working class and the policy of the Party.
The volume opens with Lenin's conspectus of The Holy
Family, or Critique of Critical Criticism by Marx and
Engels. The conspectus written in 1895 traces the
formation of the philosophical and political world outlook
of Marx and Engels. Lenin quotes and marks those passages
in the book which show how Marx approached "the
concept of the social relations of production"
(p. 30 of this volume) and which characterise
"Marx's view—already almost fully
developed--concerning the revolutionary role of the
proletariat" (p. 26). Lenin gives prominence to Marx
and Engels' criticism of the subjective sociology of Brunn
and Edgar Bauer and their followers and their idealist
views on the role of "critical-minded people." Lenin stresses the theses
advanced by the founders of scientific communism: that the
real and actual makers of history are the people, the
working masses; and that "with the thoroughness of the
historical action, the size of the mass who perform it will
therefore increase" (p. 32). These theses are
organically linked with the struggle waged by Lenin at that
time against idealist Narodnik views on "heroes"
and "the crowd," against attempts to provide a
theoretical basis for the cult of the individual. Lenin made
a detailed résumé of the chapter of the book
in which Marx thoroughly characterises the significance of
l7th-l8th century English and French materialism.
Philosophical Notebooks pays great attention to
German classical philosophy, one of the sources of
Marxism. In a summary of Ludwig Feuerbach's book,
Lectures on the Essence of Religion, which he wrote
apparently in 1909, Lenin emphasises Feuerbach's
contributions as a materialist and atheist. He also points
out those propositions in the Lectures expressing
the, materialist conjectures contained in Feuerbach's views
on society. On the other hand, Lenin reveals the weaknesses
and limitations of Feuerbach's materialism, noting that
"both the anthropological principle and naturalism are
only inexact, weak descriptions of
m a t e r i a l i s m"
(p. 82). In comparing Marx and Engels' works of the same
period with Lectures on the Essence of Religion,
which Feuerbach delivered in 1848-49 and which were
published in 1851, Lenin writes: "How far,
even at t h i s time (1848-1851),
h a d Feuerbach
l a g g e d b e h i n d M a r x
(The Communist Manifesto, 1847, Neue Rheinische Zeitung, etc.) and Engels
(1845: Lage)" (p. 77).
In elaborating the theory of materialist dialectics, Lenin
paid special attention to the study and critical analysis of
Hegel's philosophical legacy. His résumés of
Hegel's The Science of Logic, Lectures on the History of
Philosophy and Lectures on the Philosophy of
History occupy a central place in Philosophical
Lenin sharply criticises Hegel's idealism and the mysticism
of his ideas. But Lenin also reveals the significance of
Hegelian dialectics and points out the necessity for
evaluating it from a materialist standpoint. "Hegel's
logic," wrote V. I. Lenin, "cannot be applied
in its given form, it cannot be taken as given. One
must s e p a r a t e o u t from it the logical
(epistemological) nuances, after purifying them from
Ideenmystik. . ." (p. 266). In summarising
Hegel's writings, Lenin formulates a series of highly
important propositions on the essence of materialist
The brilliant article "On the Question of Dialectics,"
written in 1915, is related to Lenin's summary of Hegel's
works. Though small in size, this article is a
crystallisation of unsurpassed depth and richness of thought
of all the important and essential elements in materialist
Lenin's résumés of Lassalle's The
Philosophy of Heraclitus the Obscure of Ephesus,
Aristotle's Metaphysics and Feuerbach's
Exposition, Analysis and Critique of the Philosophy of
Leibnitz trace the historical preparation of
materialist dialectics. Lenin examines the history of
philosophy from Heraclitus and Democritus to Marx and
Engels, and presents a profound Marxist evaluation of the
work of outstanding thinkers. He reveals the progressive
contribution which they made to the development of
philosophical thought, and at the same time, discloses the
historical limitations of their views.
In his comments on books concerned with the natural
sciences, as well as elsewhere in the volume, Lenin
criticises attempts to reconcile a scientific explanation of
nature with a religious world outlook, the vacillations of
natural scientists—spontaneous
materialists—between materialism and idealism, and
their inability to distinguish between mechanistic and
dialectical materialism. He inveighs against a contemptuous
attitude toward philosophy and philosophical generalisations
and demonstrates the vast importance of materialist
dialectics for the natural sciences and for philosophical
generalisations based on the discoveries of modern science.
The last section of Philosophical Notebooks is made
up of markings and comments by Lenin in books on philosophy
(by G. V. Plekhanov, V. M. Shulyatikov, A. M. Deborin and
other authors), which show how scathingly Lenin criticised
distortions of dialectical and historical materialism. This
criticism is a vivid example of the uncompromising
struggle by Lenin against vulgar materialism and the
slightest deviations from Marxist philosophy.
The remarks made by Lenin in Plekhanov's book on
Chernyshevsky are of considerable interest. They are
evidence of his great attention to the history of Russian
social thought and his high opinion of its progressive,
materialist traditions. Lenin stresses the revolutionary
democracy and materialism of Chernyshevsky and his
determined struggle against idealism. In pointing out the
shortcomings of Plekhanov's book and Plekhanov's failure to
see the class content of Chernyshevsky's activity, Lenin
writes: "Because of the theoretical
difference between the idealist and materialist views of
history, Plekhanov overlooked the
practical-political and class difference between
the liberal and the democrat" (p. 546).
In Philosophical Notebooks, Lenin consistently
upholds the principle of partisanship in philosophy, and
demonstrates the organic connection between dialectical
materialism and revolutionary practice.
Philosophical Notebooks contains invaluable
ideological richness, and is of immense theoretical and
political significance. In it Lenin elaborates dialectical
and historical materialism, the history of philosophy,
focussing his attention on the problems of materialist
dialectics. Along with his basic philosophical work,
Materialism and Empirio-criticism, Philosophical
Notebooks is an outstanding achievement of Lenin's
creative genius.
Lenin's excerpts and comments provide a definition of
dialectics as the science of the most general laws of
development and cognition of the objective world. Of
exceptional importance is his proposition on the identity of
dialectics, logic and the theory of knowledge. He pointed
out that the fundamental failure of metaphysical materialism
was its inability to apply dialectics to the process and
development of cognition; dialectics, he stressed,
is the theory of knowledge of Marxism. In his
Philosophical Notebooks Lenin advanced Marxist
dialectics still further by elaborating the question of the
dialectical process of cognition and the dictum that the
dialectical way of cognising objective reality consists in
the transition from living perception to abstract thought
and from this to practice.
In elaborating materialist dialectics, Lenin concentrated
on the problem of contradictions. It is in Philosophical
Notebooks that he explains that the doctrine of the
unity and struggle of opposites is the essence and core of
dialectics, that the struggle of opposites is the source of
development. "The splitting of a single whole and the
cognition of its contradictory parts ... is the
e s s e n c e
(one of the 'essentials,' one of the
principal, if not the principal, characteristics or
features) of dialectics" (p. 359).
It may be presumed that the preparatory material of
Notebooks on Philosophy is evidence of Lenin's
intention to write a special work on materialist dialectics,
a task which he had no opportunity to fulfil. Although the
material in Philosophical Notebooks does not
constitute a complete work written by Lenin for
publication, it is an important contribution to the
development of dialectical materialism. The study of the
great ideological content of Philosophical
Notebooks is of tremendous importance for a thorough
grasp of Marxist-Leninist philosophy, the theoretical
foundation of scientific communism.

Some states have a no fault auto insurance claus…
If you have an auto insurance carrier and you miss a payment you may think it is ok. Companies will often have a grace period, but this depends upon the principles and the specific business they follow. You get a termination and cancellation clause together with your insurance coverage. The car insurance company has the right-to end your car insurance at any time for several reasons including failure to comply with fee schedules.
Some states have a no-fault car insurance clause. An auto insurance company in these states has to follow the laws of the state and offer this support when determining your proportion of fault in the case of a collision. The accident might go like this, you'd be twenty percent at fault for being there and the other driver would be ninety percent at fault for causing the accident. The automobile insurance company pays for the problems no-matter who's responsible.
An auto insurance company offers forms named SR-22 for drivers who need liability insurance to have a suspended or revoked drivers license reinstated. This need often includes the automobile insurance carrier notifying their state if you cancel, forget to pay or finished. Not all companies provide SR-22 types so you will need to find an automobile insurance company that offers this service. You're considered high-risk and they do not use this kind of liability.
You have an accident and the automobile is totaled. The auto insurance company requires two steps to determine just how to pay-for the injury. If the cost to repair the car costs more than the blue book value the car insurance provider will complete the car and pay you the value of the car, they take the value of the car and the amount it cost to correct the damage. This may perhaps not be what you imagine the vehicle may be worth, but that is all they'll pay.
Who's included to drive your car and can pay to the car insurance for the damage caused by an accident? If a collision happens if you loan your car to someone your insurance will cover them. If your car is driven by your spouse, child or foster child, the plan will cover any accident injury. An automobile insurance company could have special conditions regarding this protection and you need to find out so how your insurance company covers the damages. For more info see http://www.autocarinsurancehelp.org/Classic_Car_Insurance on commercial auto insurance.
As you see, there are so many different facts about motor insurance that most people do not even recognize. You should ask your car insurance company, if you have a question no-matter how menial it appears. Exercise good driving and ask questions when necessary.
On line car insurance with cheap car insurance costs involves searching the net before you find the appropriate business instead of personal interviews and the time-consuming telephone calls that result in a waste of time. Therefore, read the businesses online before talking to an agent to truly save time. For a different viewpoint, consider taking a gander at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/orange-county-seo-company. Your time will be well spent on the web than operating or calling individual businesses..

The unlimited property tax exemption enjoyed by Kenai Peninsula senior citizens is once again being looked at as a tool for stabilizing borough finances, the borough mayor told Kenai business leaders Wednesday.
Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor John Williams described the borough's budget in detail for members of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and said the Senior Citizen Property Tax Exemption is one of the major issues he believes "must be addressed this year."
By state mandate, Alaska senior citizens are granted a tax exemption on the first $150,000 of assessed valuation of their property.
In the Kenai Peninsula Borough, seniors receive an unlimited exemption from the borough's 6.5 mill property tax.
Last year the borough assembly sought to cap the exemption at $200,000, meaning seniors would have to pay property tax on any assessed value above that amount. On a $300,000 house, for example, seniors would have had to pay $650 on the $100,000 excess. The measure failed.
During his presentation Wednesday, Williams said, when the borough made the exemption "absolutely and totally unlimited" just over 20 years ago, the impact was $131,000 in lost revenues to the borough.
"This year, the unlimited exemption will cost the borough general government $2.7 million in lost revenues," Williams said.
Additionally, the exemption will cost the service areas Central Emergency Services and the hospital and road service areas more than $1.5 million, he said.
"In total, the Kenai Peninsula Borough will lose $4,382,600 in revenues to support this entitlement in fiscal year 2007," Williams said.
He said now there are more than 500 homes in the borough, valued in excess of $300,000 that pay nothing in property taxes due to the senior tax exemption.
The lost revenue comes at a time when the borough is facing large increases in the amount it is being mandated to pay for the public employee and teachers retirement systems (PERS-TRS).
"The borough and the (Kenai Peninsula Borough) School District now face a mandatory payment next year of nearly $12 million," Williams said. "This is an increase of nearly $5.5 million over the current year."
He said his administration is committed to a lean and efficient government, and will continue looking for ways to do the best job possible for the least cost to taxpayers, "but this increase in retirement costs, combined with other rising costs we have no control over, is going to require that we continue to look carefully at how the borough does business, and how our government is going to pay for the services the citizens expect us to deliver."
Williams said he and his staff worked closely with the assembly during the budget process last spring, and projected a "stabilized fund balance in the $14 million range."
"Today, I am pleased to announce that our just completed Comprehensive Annual Financial Audit of FY2006 has shown that our beginning fund balance for this year stood at $15,285,303," he said.
Williams also said he will look to see how the tax burden between property taxes and sales taxes can be more balanced. He said 20 years ago, 60 percent of total revenues came from property owners and 40 percent came from sales taxes.
"But over time, that balance has shifted significantly so that property owners are now paying a much larger share at nearly 68 percent," he said. "And unless something changes, that burden will continue to grow to over 70 percent by 2010, which is only two fiscal years out."
He said the option of a 3 percent borough sales tax is one tool that could be used to bring balance back to the tax ratio.
"I will make the decision in the next few weeks on how my administration will propose to address this growing property tax burden in the fiscal year 2008 budget," he said.
Williams also said any change in the senior property tax exemption would contain "substantial protections for our seniors."

I think Monday midday-ish US time + Aussie night time isn't a favourable time for a chat thread.
*Glances at own right-side user info*
Wait, how have I been here for four years? I mean, I know some of you could boast eight years' membership, but I swear it feels like I've been here less than two.
Most of my friends in the Pokemon thread I used to frequent were Australian and could only come on at nighttime, so I adjusted to that.
Woah, that's commitment. I keep regular contact with US folks, but then I naturally like getting up at 12pm and sleeping at 4am. Thank the stars for the university lifestyle.
It's only like 9AM for me when it's like night for them, so it's no biggie.
Plus I have no life (and free internet at school)
My brain hurts from just a 2 hour Arabic lesson. I can't imagine going back to school...
I just recently started taking an Arabic class, but all the transliterations are in Hebrew. Actually, all the translations are in Hebrew as well. Since I'm not yet fluent it makes the class even more difficult. On the other hand, since the languages are similar, it is helping me improve my Hebrew, too.
pock pock pock
Arabic, that's interesting. Do you live in the middle east or have any plans to travel there or any family that speaks Arabic?
pock pock pock
I just got a filling. I'm still numb god dammit
Oh well, my first one in 16 years, I think that's a commendable achievement.
So.. I meet Nathan Lane today. That was pretty neat.

However, it may be of great interest for you to know that I haven't shit myself in nearly twenty years. Go ahead and feel free to stick that in your awkward pipe and smoke it.
Seriously, though, that sounds like a pretty monumental meeting to someone going into theater. Unless it's all part of being in the community or something like that.
There are probably consequences to such an action, but I am not the one doing it so it's not my concern.
I usually don't get star-struck, because I'm rather used to being around prominent actors and designers but.. He's kind of on his own level.
But oh, God, I just quoted it, so that makes me an accomplice! You clever bastard, you. Is this all part of your mad scheme to get onto my office mantel?

***Register for the complimentary webinar about survey findings scheduled for May 4, 2016 5 p.m. BST/ 12 p.m. EDT / 9 a.m. PDT***
Posted on February 1, 2016
Rovi recently released phase-three findings of the company's sponsored survey of 4,000* pay-TV and over-the-top (OTT) content subscribers in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
Phase one of the survey focused on the low percentage of respondents that had cut the cord relative to those who'd simply considered it, and phase two explored why. Phase three suggests the idea of the "couch potato," the sedentary, home- and comfy chair-bound TV watcher, has gone the way of classic rotary TV dials and rabbit ears.
More people are watching their entertainment on the go. Globally, nearly two-thirds of respondents said they frequently stream content in their cars or on public transportation; 29 percent of respondents said they view content while at work. Respondents in India were more likely than those in other regions to stream content equally in all three places, while those in China tended to stream content during meals. In the U.S., respondents reported streaming slightly more often in the car, and in Japan, more people do so while standing in line.
Additional survey findings revealed:
These findings underscore the value of Rovi's entertainment discovery solutions, which give viewers the immediate, resonant guidance they need to find programming wherever they are – at home or on the go – whether on TVs, smartphones, mobile devices or new content/service platforms.

*Of the 4,000 consumers surveyed, 1,000 interviews were completed in the U.S. and 500 interviews each were conducted in the U.K., France, Germany, China, Japan and India.

So we have survived the Christmas and New Year onslaught, gotten through blue Monday what else does January have to bring us? The start of the year has begun the way the last month ended — unseasonably warm and dry. The end to 2016 saw one of the mildest Decembers in Tayside since records began in 1910. It was 3C warmer than normal and the region only experienced 31% of the average rainfall for the month. Surprisingly in the beginning of January, Perth has been one of the warmest regions in the UK this winter. We are hoping that this continues to the summer. Or at least we are optimistic a balmy summer is due (well we deserve one at any rate.) Today was one of our coldest days of the year at -5C which was a 15 deg C shift from yesterday and although a shock to our system it did make for a spectacular display of glistening frost.
Here is some photographs from our morning walk through the Bield Estate, it was looking like a scene from Narnia.
Southern Fried Festival 29-31st July, Perth
Great headiners, free gigs in city centre venues, an outdoor stage, all-day rockabilly event ('cos you can never have enough rockabilly), and a programme of themed films: the 2015 Southern Fried roots music festival in Perth has announced a bursting-at-the-seams lineup. The eighth annual event kicks off Thursday 30 July and runs through Sunday 2 August, and the headline acts playing Perth Concert Hall are: Punch Brothers, Rhiannon Giddens, McCrary Sisters and The Fairfield Four. Hot off her recent tour and collaboration with Swedish sensations First Aid Kit, Samantha Crain completes the Late and Southern Fried Songwriters Sessions in The Salutation Hotel on Fri 31 Jul with her quirky, earthy interpretation of folk music. She joins Canada's Meaghan Blanchard and ex-Phantom Limb lead singer Yola Carter for the intimate upstairs gig as Della Mae and Speedometer featuring James Junior rock out downstairs. Festival director Andy Shearer says of the programme, 'We've wanted to stage a major rockabilly event for some time and we're very happy we can make it happen this year. Part of an extension of the programme is to include evening gigs at two of Perth's best-loved venues, The Twa Tams and Greyfriars Bar, for the first time. 'We also have another addition to the lineup with a great cinema programme in partnership with Perth Playhouse, with a mix of feature films and music documentaries which all have links to some of this year's festival artists, as well as a couple of great kids' movies with great American roots soundtracks.' Add to this an all-women celebration of the songs of Dolly Parton, home-grown acts, and many more performers, and you soon run out of excuses to not visit Perth at the end of July.

Black Watch Museum :- Weeping Window.
30th June and run until 25th September 2016
Imagine my absolute delight in discovering yesterday that our very own Black Watch Museum (500 yards away from Almond Villa) will be hosting the Poppies: Weeping Window display at Balhousie Castle. I was first moved at seeing the poppies on the TV as thousands of people streamed passed them at the Tower of London and was swept away with emotion when I actually saw the Wave, live in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies is something to behold. The Weeping Window exhibition is currently in Orkney at St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. Orkney was the first venue in Scotland to host Poppies: Weeping Window, where the sculpture was installed on the Cathedral's west end in perfect timing for the commemoration of the Battle of Jutland.
Poppies: Weeping Window by Paul Cummins, Artist and Tom Piper, Designer will open at The Black Watch Castle and Museum on 30th June and run until 25th September 2016, specially presented by 14-18 NOW to mark the centenary of the First World War. Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies seen pouring from a high window to the ground below; Wave is a sweeping arch of bright red poppy heads suspended on towering stalks (currently on display at Yorkshire Sculpture Park until January 2016, to be displayed at Lincoln Castle during 2016). These two sculptures, by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper are now brought to audiences at venues across the country as part of the 14-18 NOW programme. As with all 14-18 NOW projects, the presentation of these sculptures to new audiences across the United Kingdom aims to prompt a new, nationwide dialogue around the legacy of the First World War. The breath-taking sculptures were initially conceived as the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London in the autumn of 2014. Over the course of their time at the Tower, the two sculptures were gradually surrounded by a vast field of ceramic poppies, each one planted by a volunteer in memory of the life of a British and Colonial soldier lost during the First World War. In their original setting they captured the public imagination and were visited by over five million people. The original installation was conceived of as transitory, the sea of poppies growing in size until the final one was planted on 11 November 2014. On completion, however, it was agreed that the works of art at the heart of this broader act of memorial should be preserved for the nation. 14-18 NOW is grateful to the Backstage Trust and Clore Duffield Foundation for their support in securing these sculptures for posterity. For the remainder of the 14-18 NOW programme, Wave and Weeping Window will be on view at selected locations around the United Kingdom finishing at IWM North and IWM London in the autumn of 2018. The sculptures will then be gifted to the Imperial War Museums. The Black Watch Museum is a focal point for remembrance and learning about the Great War and other conflicts. A stunning setting easily accessible from most of Scotland's major population centres, Weeping Window will flow from a second floor turret window onto the Castle grounds. Weeping Window from the installation 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' Poppies and original concept by artist Paul Cummins Installation designed by Tom Piper By Paul Cummins Ceramics Limited in conjunction with Historic Royal Palaces, originally at HM Tower of London 2014

Sparrowhawk! has he scared away the sparrows!
So far this week our garden has been a proper hive of activity with blackbirds, blue tits, great tits, coal tits and the tree sparrows which live in our hedge have all been flying gathering material to build their nests. However that may have all changed since our Sparrowhawk (who is now a frequent visitor to the garden) made a successful kill in front of the little birdies. But he seems to have become a little bit nonchalant. No longer is he content with sitting on the fence at the back of the garden watching and waiting. No he is sitting on the tree stump we hang the bird food from and is staring into the hedge.
Storm Henry brings colourful nacreous clouds
What is it they say? Every dark cloud has a silver lining? Storm Henry was predicted to bring high winds and heavy rain (as though we haven't had enough of that in the 3 months since they started naming storms) to which Henry didn't disappoint. However Scotalnd wasn't prepared for the beautiful nacreous cloud displays it brought as well. Twitter and Facebook were inundated with stunning pictures of this phenomenon.
Nacreous clouds, also known as mother of pearl clouds, were seen last night from Perth as well as most other towns in Scotland.
Nacreous clouds form in the lower stratosphere over polar regions when the sun is just below the horizon. The iridescent nacreous clouds are as captivating as they are rare.
These eye-catching rainbow coloured clouds form in the Earth's stratosphere at around 70,000ft, way above where other clouds are normally found and in much colder air, around -78C.
The BBCs weather presenters explained it is far too dry at this height for clouds to form, but during the polar winter the temperature can drop low enough to promote the cloud's development.
"Here in Scotland, the recent storms have probably helped too, with strong winds driving moisture up into the stratosphere.
"Their colour comes from ice crystals refracting the sun's rays to give the rainbow effect."
He added: "They're most vivid before dawn and after sunset, as they're in sunlight longer due to their altitude. They're sometimes referred to as 'mother of pearl' clouds or otherwise known as polar stratospheric clouds."

Each episode of "What Not to Wear" featured a poor dresser who often reluctantly allows their hair, wardrobe and mindset to be made over.
'What Not to Wear" has been my guilty TV pleasure for 10 years.
I averaged maybe a dozen episodes over a year, all the while feeling like a dork for watching.
Mainly because I often ended up crying.
Yes, I cried, sometimes even sobbed.
And tonight, as the series ends it run on TLC, I'll probably shed a tear or two again.
You see, I'm a little bit like all those poor victims, nominated without their knowledge to be on the show because of their shady dressing skills.
I've been the new mom hiding behind leggings and sweatpants. I've been the 20-something unsure of her body and hiding behind oversized shirts. I've unconsciously stocked my entire closet and dresser with black and brown clothes.
I know comfort zone, where we hang out and think warm and fuzzy thoughts about ourselves, not realizing just how bad/scary/stupid we really look.
If you're a watcher, you know uttering the word "comfort" is like cursing to hosts Clinton Kelly and Stacy London. They contend that sophisticated, well-fitted clothes can be comfortable and "comfort" is just a barrier, an excuse.
During almost every episode, there is an a-ha moment when the "poorly dressed" subject stops being angry and gives up being defensive and takes that one large step backward to see the big picture.
The neon-pink wardrobe. The manly clothes. The slutty outfits. The sweatpants.
They are all just facades hiding the real issues.
At some point, each person breaks and comes face to face with the poor image she has of herself. Big hips, small chest, not wanting to grow up, little self-worth, and the list goes on.
Even the hardest, most defiant person has layers peeled away on the show. I know some scenes are "scripted," of course, but I still get swept up in the transformations.
The way we look — our hair, our clothes — not only defines how others see us but how we see ourselves. Even those who strive to be anti-fashion are hiding behind something. Does wearing jeans that fit appropriately make you any more or less materialistic than wearing Spandex shorts and flip-flops?
That's what Clinton and Stacy have been trying to explain all these years, one big reason it's become the network's longest-running series.
You can still be bohemian. Still be young. Still be conservative. Still be tough. Still be sexy. Your clothes don't change that. They can enhance that.
Stacy and Clinton have been our clothes psychologists, getting to the root of why we refuse to wear a dress, shy away from buying the color red or hate high heels. They encourage you to love the body you have right now, not the one you wish you had.
"Flattering" is a word that comes up several times in a given episode.
Their phrases and tips sometimes bounce around my head when I go clothes shopping — a task I once loathed but now love. I make sure to buy at least one outfit way out of my comfort zone — an unusual color, a different fit. I think about how I look when I go to the grocery store, to work, to my kids' school.
Even without the weekly show, Clinton's and Stacy's sassy advice will live on in many of us.
Though I sincerely doubt I'll ever pop on a bolero and slip on some pointy-toe heels to run out for a carton of milk.
Just saying.

Pill stops cow burps, reduces methane
"Our aim is to increase the wellbeing of the cow, to reduce the greenhouse gases produced and to increase agricultural production all at once."Posted Jan 28, 2009
Cut down on flying, sell the car and recycle your bottles. But if you really want to tackle global warming, you should stop your cow from burping.
According to scientific estimates, the methane gas produced by cows is responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions. And now, German scientists have invented a pill to cut bovine burping.
The fist-sized plant-based pill, known as a bolus, combined with a special diet and strict feeding times, is meant to reduce the methane produced by cows.
"Our aim is to increase the wellbeing of the cow, to reduce the greenhouse gases produced and to increase agricultural production all at once," said Winfried Drochner, professor of animal nutrition, who has led the ground-breaking project at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart. "It is an effective way of fighting global warming."
Prof Drochner wants to use the pill to trap some of the energy from the methane, which is naturally produced in the fermentation process when a cow digests grass and is later mostly burped out through their mouths. Until now it has been wasted.
"We could use the energy to boost the cow's metabolism," he said. The idea is that the cows would use the methane to produce glucose instead of passing it as wind. In turn this should help them to produce more milk.
"The fist-sized tablets mean that microbiotic substances can slowly dissolve in the cow's stomach over several months," said Prof Drochner.
Over the past 50 years the concentration of methane in the atmosphere has increased six-fold. With meat consumption growing, it is set to rise further.
