Taiji Dolphin Slaughter Generates Worldwide Condemnation – January 23, 2014
More than 250 dolphins captured, including albino calf, at least two dozen slaughtered for meat
The dolphin hunters in Taiji have kicked off the new year with a murderous and greed-driven rampage, their dolphin drive hunt in mid-January being one of the biggest in recent memory.
On January 16, five separate pods of bottlenose dolphins, totaling an estimated 250 individuals and including one baby albino, were brutally driven into the killing cove, made famous by the Oscar-winning documentary The Cove.

A Silent Winter for SeaWorld? – December 12, 2013
Musicians continue to cancel gigs at SeaWorld concert series.
SeaWorld has reasons to be sad lately, as the impact of the documentary Blackfish has caused a number of prominent bands to cancel their performances at the marine park, due to concerns of the cruel and inhumane practice of confining captive orcas.

Yesterday, the band Cheap Trick joined Willie Nelson, Heart and the Barenaked Ladies in cancelling performances at SeaWorld's "Bands, Brew, and BBQ" concert series, scheduled for this coming winter.

What India's Decision to Ban Dolphin Captivity Means – June 12, 2013
Move indicates a growing understanding that cetaceans are 'nonhuman persons'
The Indian Ministry of Environment and Forests' decision to ban dolphin captivity within India has been making waves around the world. The unprecedented decision is particularly significant because it reflects an increasing global understanding that dolphins deserve better protections based on who – rather than what – they are.
The decision, outlined in a circular released by the Central Zoo Authority, states that because dolphins are by nature "highly intelligent and sensitive," they ought to be seen as "nonhuman persons" and should have "their own specific rights." It says that it is "morally unacceptable to keep them captive for entertainment purposes."

South Korea Theme Park Forced to Return Dolphins Back to the Sea – April 12, 2013
Dolphins' journey to freedom highlights ethical issues of keeping cetaceans in captivity
In a landmark ruling, the South Korean supreme court has ordered Pacific Land, a dolphinarium on the south coast of Jeju Island, to free four of its dolphins.
Between 2009 and 2010, Pacific Land Illegally purchased 11 dolphins from fishermen, without the approval of the Korean Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry. The ministry is supposed to approve marine mammal capture "for educational,… more

Whale Roadkill: Not a Thing of the Past Quite Yet – January 15, 2013
Changes to shipping lanes near SF Bay may help, but proposals for the Santa Barbara Channel Islands fall short of the mark
The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) recently announced vessel lane changes for the approach to San Francisco Bay, the Santa Barbara Channel, and the Los Angeles and Long Beach port complex, will involve extending some shipping lanes, narrowing the width of others, and shifting the southbound lane in the Santa Barbara Channel and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary one nautical mile north. These routes pass through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOOA) Cordell Bank, Gulf of the Farallones, and Channel Islands national marine sanctuaries where endangered blue, humpback, and fin whales feed and congregate.

Abstract This demonstration presents the visualization of the terrain-scattered interference (TSI) that can arise from aircraft-based jammers. Field data collected under the Mountaintop program was used to evaluate the crosscorrelation between direct-path and multipath jamming signals in the reference and target beams of a TSI mitigation structure. Following spectral analysis across each data set, we obtain a portrait of the corresponding TSI in terms of its arrival azimuth, bistatic delay, and relative Doppler. This portrait may be viewed in an interactive manner to expose interesting features of the TSI energy distribution that bear directly on the selection of TSI mitigation parameters, such as number of taps, Doppler compensation, and required weight update rate. The energy distribution is seen to compare favorably with predictions based on the aircraft's trajectory. From a series of data files collected along the aircraft flight path, we view the time dependence of this energy distribution.

What will the weather be like for the fair?
Published 12:00 am, Friday, March 26, 2010
Despite the chilly start to the day, today should be beautiful, with plenty of sunshine, a high of 72 and a slight breeze. Tonight will be clear with a low of 51, also with a slight breeze.


text: There is no such thing as far as I know of a true blue orchid. There are many though that are very very close. I just saw the same Phals at Home Depot and thought no way.... read the tag and my thoughts were correct, they are dyed. I have Bollopetalum Midnight Blue and the blooms are a very nice dark blue. But I have seen some that get purplish. They usually run about $15, at least that's what I payed for mine. It is starting a spike now, when it blooms I'll post a pic if I can.

The truth
In the last 2 posts I've talked about wanting a treadmill. In the first post I talk about how I like being home with my dogs and that is true, but it's not the whole truth. I've decided to lay it all out here and purge it from my mind and soul. Hopefully it will help.
The truth of the matter is that I could probably be agoraphobic if I let things get out of hand. I tend to be a homebody. I prefer to be home than just about any other place. When I'm feeling fat and not pleased with my body, I want to be there even more. So the way I am feeling right now, I don't feel comfortable going to the gym to workout. I would rather stay home and workout until I have confidence in myself again.
I'm not really sure how to describe it. It's not exactly low self-esteem because I know I can do anything I put my mind to. It's just being uncomfortable with my physical self right now. My workout clothes feel like they look like maternity clothes to me and I don't like it. That's not quite right either.
What I do know is that when I don't work out and I gain weight I tend to lie around the house more and not want to go out. When I workout, even if I'm not super thin, I want to go out and do things more often. I have just re-read that and in my head heard every person on the Biggest Loser saying the same thing. So I guess I'm not so different from most people. Okay....
Well, treadmill or not, tomorrow I start working out at home since I'm not going to the gym.
Craigslist is one of the greatest things to come out of the internet and also one of the most frustrating. It's an awesome place to find out just about anything you could possibly be looking for. I have gotten some amazing deals off Craigslist. My Bianchi I got for $80. It's an awesome bike and I'm still using it 7 years later. I just went back in my archives to try and find the date I got this bike and could not locate it. I found references to it in July of 2005 so I'm going with 2005. It's very strange how I can not find that post, I vividly remember the picture of the bike that I put in it....Oh well, that's a post for another day...back to Craigslist.....
So I'm looking for a treadmill. I want one for my house so that I can run/walk when I feel like it. So I've been stalking Craigslist. I've found a couple of really good possibilities. I call. I email. I hound them. They don't respond!! If you want to sell something shouldn't you at least answer your emails or phone calls??? It is so incredibly frustrating. There are 2 treadmills right here in Kaneohe, that I'm really interested in. I can not get the people to respond no matter what I do. Then today I drive all the way to the other side of the island to look at one and the guys texts me literally 2 blocks from his house to tell me he can't find the key. Really?!?!?!?! You post the thing on Craigslist and you don't make sure you have all the moving part??? Fabulous. He texted me later to say they had ordered it and it would be here in 3-6 days was I still interested. I said no because I'm not driving all the way over there again. So unbelievably frustrating....... I'll keep trying though because eventually one will hit. There are people who want to sell things on there.
The good times just keep coming
Definitely a good week. Being happy is just awesome. School was really great this week, I firmly believe it's going to be a good year. Workouts - eh, not so much. Food - 80% rule was in place this week. But overall very, very good. I went to bed every night exhausted and happy in the day.
I've come to accept the fact that the gym really isn't for me. It's fine when I have lots of time on my hands. But when I'm working it's just inconvenient. Yes, in many ways that is an excuse but I want to spend time at home. I love my house and I love my dogs. I would rather be home with them than just about anywhere. So I've decided to look for a treadmill. If I can run at home it will work better than the gym. When I lost all that weight before it was with a home treadmill.
Ugh, my neighbor is outside smoking a cigar. He smokes those cheap things and they stink. I don't mind cigar smoke if it's premium cigars that are well made and smell good. My neighbor is such an idiot.
12 August 2012
Just Happy
Like this little guy, I'm just happy. The thing is, I haven't really felt that way in a while and it feels good. I'm prone to slight depression and with the neighbor crap last year and early this year, then being under the time pressure to finish my thesis - that I hadn't even really started - I think I had gotten a tiny bit depressed. I can never tell exactly what's going on when I'm in it, but as soon as I come out of it I can look back and say, oh,yes I was depressed. That's kind of how I feel today. Although, in truth I didn't feel so much depression as pressure. Whatever, I'm splitting hairs, all I know is that for the past 2 weeks or so I've felt pretty damn good.
Last weekend I worked on a refurbishing project that I've been wanting to do. I finished it and it looks amazing if I do say so myself. I'm so pleased with it, I want to do another piece we have in a similar way. I will share all the gory details in another post.
Yesterday we ran some errands and I took Bella to training class. Then we went out to dinner with a friend to celebrate his and Hubby's birthday. It was fun, the food was good, and I really enjoyed myself. Today I have just been a busy bee. I washed the bedding, we walked the dogs, we ran some more errands, I did the laundry, I graded all my schoolwork and entered all the grades, I chopped up my salad stuff for the week, I'm cooking some chicken for my lunches during the week, I'm going to slice up the dogs treats for training, I'm going to fold and iron my clothes for next week. Whew!!! And I'm not even tired. I laid down on the couch to relax and watch a little TV and ended up getting up after half an hour. Very unusual for me.
In an effort to really get back on track and lose some weight, I decided to prep some of my food so I don't have to do it during the week. I chopped up some cucumbers and onions for my salads. I opened cans of corn, garbanzo beans, and beets so they are ready. All I have to do is chop up some lettuce and throw everything together. I also cut up a quarter of a watermelon I purchased so it is ready to eat. I also put 2 giant chicken breasts in the slow cooker with garlic and Italian seasonings. When it's done I'll shred it and use it for my lunch. All this will make getting my lunch together super quick and super healthy. No thinking, everything is ready, so no opportunity to make less then stellar choices.
So I'm happy. The world is a good place right now.

We spent some time in Salt Lake City before our flight home. We wanted to go to Hyer's Hamburgers, particularly to get some fry sauce, but apparently its a popular place on a Friday night, so we found Mexican restaurant to eat at instead. Then we went to Temple Square to look at lights.
This is a very common outing for many people, but my dad installs Christmas lights professionally so with him it was a in depth research trip. For Aaron and I it was just fun looking at lights and being surrounded with thousands of other Mormons. We snickered at a few of the conversations we overheard, things you'd never hear on the streets of Boston, but we also found a lot of very nice people to take our picture.
This is where I told eveyone to hold still and Aaron made a face instead...I'm posting this to teach him a lesson...
These pictures were ones I took while playing with my camera settings. That is one of my favorite games yet I'm really no good at it...these are the few that weren't (too) blurry.

Hey Guys! I know, I haven't posted for almost two months. I was really busy, but now I'm back! Here's a book review!
I remember many of class-mates in middle school complaining about this book. Now that I have read it for myself, I don't really understand why they were so against the book. I loved it. It struck very deep inside of me.
For the good: The book and the plot is so realistic. It's so scary that society today is so close to what was thought to be impossible before. In a bad way. Books and literature are disappearing, replaced with movies, games, and tv shows. I am sort of boggled by the way Ray happened to predict what would happen in the future. Today, people don't read much. They are losing contact with the real world itself. They "talk" to their friends over Facebook, when they are a few yards apart. This is very similar to Millie's "family" in the parlor. Ray's idea of future technology is right in line with today's technology. We CAN talk to our computers, phones, and TVs. They even respond! When this book was first written, this book would certainly have been considered Science Fiction, but now it's more reality. Only a few steps in technology, and we would be living his story. Scary, right?
For the bad: What bad? I didn't find any! I loved it! The ideas, characters, and plot connected straight to me, deep within me. I have never really had this experience before, this feeling of the story really having a meaning to me, not just the wonderful story contained within its pages. I can't even beat this book up for being a classic, because it really isn't. Yes, it was written a while ago. But the story is more accurate and telling in our society, not his.
I absolutely loved this book, though I recommend it to teens in high school, not in middle school. Most middle school students would not have understood this book. In middle school, most students do not really for the deeper details, just the shallow ideas. This book is all about the deeper ideas and really thinking about the reading material. I loved it!

Laptop makeover: 5 ways to extend its useful life
Reassemble the notebook and you're good to go!
Effective upgrades
You may want to upgrade some components to give your freshened-up laptop a performance boost to match, especially since you'll already have the machine open. Replacing major components like a CPU or GPU isn't really possible, but adding more RAM and moving from a traditional hard drive to an SSD can also be very effective upgrades.
Adding more RAM to your laptop is normally as simple as replacing the existing SO-DIMM (or DIMM) memory modules with ones of larger capacity, or by installing a second memory module of similar speed and capacity to the first if there's an open slot. PCWorld's guide to adding RAM to a laptop can help if you run into trouble.
Upgrading the notebook's hard drive to an SSD can be a bit more difficult, especially if you want to clone your OS and data over from a hard drive, but PCWorld's guide to swapping out your laptop's hard drive for an SSD has you covered.
Notebook computers can be cleaned and upgraded — with the proper planning and care. It's certainly worth your time to tinker before sending it to the e-waste bin. The laptop you save could be your own.

After reading the first paragraph of that article, I've never wanted to reach through my computer screen and slap the **** out of someone this badly before. Calling a gun a "wanna be Glock" just because of the polymer frame?
The guy who wrote that article is an idiot. There's nothing more annoying than Glock fanboys.

Firefighters battle vehicle fire on FDR Drive in Manhattan
Aug. 18, 2017
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City firefighters were put to the test when an SUV burst into flames on the FDR Drive.
Authorities say the fire happened Thursday afternoon in Manhattan. Officials say a damaged fuel line on the SUV began spewing fuel, sparking a fire on the southbound lanes of the FDR Drive.
Lanes were closed as firefighters battled the vehicle fire near Midtown. Crews used foam to prevent fuel from spreading across the roadway. The blaze was contained by 4:30 p.m.
No injuries were reported.

Living a blissful life teaches me to become a more selfless and generous individual, not only to those that I love but also to those that are in need. Therefore, much as I always enjoy going to events that have good programs, I will enjoy them even more if I know my money will be donated to charity.
Today, my friends and I went to a fundraising event called Charity Ball, which was hosted by Multicultural Student Association (MSA). MSA is one of the clubs we have at Keuka College. Like our Keuka College International Club (KCIC), MSA also strives to celebrate diversity but with a focus on domestic diversity, while KCIC's focus is on a larger scale, global diversity.
This year, all the proceeds of their event went directly to Camp Good Days, an organization that provides service for children with cancer, children who have a parent or sibling with cancer and/or children who have lost a parent or sibling to cancer. The organization also offers programs for women and men who have or have had cancer and for children affected by sickle cell anemia.
The idea of this event was to raise money for Camp Good Days by organizing a semi-formal event right on campus for Keuka College students to come and have a good time. Each student could pay $10 for the ticket, which included both dinner and dance, or $2 for just the dance portion.
Dr. James Blackburn, or Dean B. is what we often call him, is one of the Vice Presidents at Keuka College. Although he's retiring at the end of this year, Dean B. is loved and respected by not only students but also the school's faculty and staff. His responsibility at Keuka College is supervising student development and leading the Division of Student Affairs that includes all aspects of student life and activities. Dean B. and his friends also came to the event today and they were all very happy to donate money to Camp Good Days!
Here are more pictures of the beautiful attendees that I took. 🙂
MSA also invited Keuka Conchords to perform at their event, and the musical group did a fantastic job! You can click here and here to watch their beautiful performances!
Besides diner, they also arranged a photobooth for us to take pictures with fun accessaries!
At around 8:30 PM, only a few students started to dance…
…but then, everyone suddenly joined together in dancing to The Cupid Shuffle song!Thank you MSA for hosting such a great event. I'm sure you guys will still have great turnout in the future years!

Interlock knits are made with a double knit and are often heavier than their cousin, the jersey knit. Because of this double knit quality, interlock is usually double-sided with a four-way stretch. This versatile fabric is better for more structured knit fabric projects such as exercise clothes or form-hugging dresses. We especially love interlock for leggings since its thick, structured nature keeps you warm and comfortable. Order with confidence with our easy, no hassle returns policy.

Laura Perrins is right to call the British Conservative Party the enemy within. It's now a deeply unconservative party.
As she says in this article:
'The Tories have interfered with the childcare market, causing the costs to rise year in, year out. They want more mothers in work, whether they want to be there or not. They lecture us on what to eat and drink; no detail of our life is beyond government note-taking. Now they have instructed GPs to ask what your sexuality is. This is Nanny turned Nurse Ratched.
'The Conservatives love big government. There has been no reduction in quangos – they have quangos lobbying their own government, for goodness' sake. They use the school system to try to solve every social problem: FGM, toothbrushing, sex education, pornography, drugs, healthy eating, on and on it goes. The national debt could hit £2 trillion in the next ten years.
'And that's before we get to social conservatism. They have dumped that completely because it was much more important to be 'modern', whatever that means. Their proudest moment was to redefine marriage, and now they seek to redefine what it is to be a man or a woman. Nothing, it seems, is beyond their power. With the stroke of a pen, the Tories believe they can magically turn men into women and vice versa. They have even instructed the UN to ditch the term 'pregnant woman' and use 'pregnant people' instead. This is misogyny. This is the Tory party.'
Miss Perrins could have mentioned Amber Rudd wanting people who repeatedly look at far right websites to go to prison for up to 15 years, the desire to have equal numbers of the sexes on company boards, to 'cap' directors' pay and many other things. Theresa May wants same sex marriages to take place in church.

Without a doubt, Rapidshare is one of the most popular file hosting services out there - with thousands and even millions of files hosted onto it. So if you're trying to download movies for free, download music for free, or even for a few PC games free download - chances are Rapidshare will have what you're seeking.
Unfortunately you will find there's problem.
Regardless of the immense number of files stored onto it, carrying out a Rapidshare Search is (literally) impossible. Alone, Rapidshare does not have research online function which allows users to search through the files stored onto it.
As such, you're gonna need to try something different.
Generally speaking, there are two ways you can carry out a Rapidshare Search for any free download, and these two are worth considering if you really need to find certain games, movies, or music.
Rapidshare Search on File Sharing Websites
Throughout the internet you will find loads of websites that offer users the opportunity to download movies for free, download music for free, and even find any PC games free download. Such sites are generally called file sharing websites - and it should be no surprise that quite a few of them host files on Rapidshare.
Therefore you're looking for a Rapidshare Search, what you are able instead do is merely frequent many of the better file sharing websites around and search through their listings instead.
Of course there is a downside to this.
Most file sharing websites usually only carry their very own listings of the files that they have uploaded themselves. Consequently if you perform a Rapidshare Search for some free download on their website you won't be searching about the same collection of Rapidshare listings.
But if you want to do that, thankfully that there is a method so.
Rapidshare Search Websites
As a result of demand for a way to carry out a Rapidshare Search; various websites dedicated to achieving that goal have slowly did start to sprout up occasionally. While they are not completely perfect, the biggest thing is that you can browse between free download listings when needed.
So if you're trying to download movies for free or download music for free - this needs to be one of your first stopovers. Chances are you'll find what you're searching for quite easily.
All said and done, although wanting to search on Rapidshare is usually a bit of a pain - it certainly isn't impossible. You now know a couple of the easiest ways to do so, you have to be able to find what you're trying to find pretty quickly.
Remember though - a Rapidshare Search is simply one of the ways {to find a|to locate

Let me tell you...
All the things I love about my girl Lea here and of Make It Right.
Now... where to start *shifty eyes* Umm... Honestly, I don't know where to start, mainly because I loved everything, every chapter, every paragraph, every WORD that came off these pages. While I was reading Make It Right, I saw a Broadway play (in case you didn't know, I see plays instead of movies when I read a really good book) and I was immersed into this story from the very first word (which was MAX by the way. I love me some Max.)
I had an idea of how this story was going to end, I mean it's obvious when it comes to stand alone-ish romance novels, so that was a given, but I wasn't expecting the journey that Megan put these lovely characters and me through (Megan is the author if you didn't know). And that's probably what I love most about this story, Megan caught me off guard with my expectations and gave me an idea of what I want in a relationship.
The supporting characters were just as amazing as they were in Make It Count (<-- which I highly suggest you read because it's also lovely). Even though Make It Right isn't about them, you still are given this inkling of what's going on in their own lives; it's not just the "Lea and Max" show. And because we're given these small bits of their supporting characters lives, we're left wanting MOAR (I at least was). It's evident that Lea and Max are caring for their friends and family, or it would've solely been about them. And I can say with full confidence that not every reader loves to stay focused on the main couple through out the entire novel.
There are countless moments between Lea and Max that are filled with the fluffiest fluff ever. And I lived for those moments. They brought a huge grin to my face (the hugest of huge grins). Here's proof of how much I loved it via text I sent to one of my best book friends, "It was just GAH so much fluff. IDK but I was expecting more hot and heavy [scenes] BUT I LOVED IT SO MUCH MORE THIS WAY... I couldn't have asked for more!"
Now hear me out, there are some sex scenes, but when I read those scenes, it wasn't just sex that was being expressed between Lea and Max. So I was fine, absolutely fine with their relationship because it WASN'T FILLED WITH LUST. I mean it was but out of 100%, lust took about 10% of their motivation.
Now hear me out, there are some sex scenes, but when I read those scenes, it wasn't just sex that was being expressed between Lea and Max. So I was fine, absolutely fine with their relationship because it WASN'T FILLED WITH LUST. I mean it was but out of 100%, lust took about 10% of their motivation.
Max. Oh lord. I loved him since finishing Make It Count, but my love for him increased a million times reading his words and seeing his actions. I mean COME ON. BON JOVI. COOKIES. CATS. CREATIVITY. VULNERABLILITY. BEAUTIFUL FACE. (I can go on and on). How can you not love him!?!? Okay. Okay. If you read Make It Count then there's a good chance that you think I'm crazy for loving him so much, because, well, he's a jackass. But if you think about it, everyone has a little donkey in them, it's just more prominent in people who have problems they can't seem to handle. It's a defense mechanism and a good one at that, because no one wants to associate with a donkey. So only the people who are willing to try can break that barrier, and for Max that was Lea.
And now this is where I profess my love about Lea. I connected to this book in all ways possible for a person to connect to a book and that had a lot to do with how Megan developed Lea. I can say with full honesty that she is the character that I have connected to the most. Ever. It's hard to believe, given all the books I've read, but it's true. Lea is your everyday person. She struggled and struggles with trust, self image, self security, and being vulnerable and strong. But besides all that, she's freaking badass. She's more than the perfect match for Max; she's a very independent woman, she could do without a guy and be absolutely fine, which leads me to believe that HE (Max) is the perfect match for Lea rather than the other way around. This is her story as well as it is Max's. She's everything I am and want to be, and she's a fictional character. I want to kidnap her from Max and take her to Vegas to marry her. (If Max wants to come along I'd marry him too).
Make It Right is fresh. It got out of a shower, put on coconut oil as lotion and walked out that door naked so everyone could see it and admire. It shows another side of life and I have to admit that it's probably my favorite read of the year so far. If every NA novel where like this, fun, adventurous, insightful, deep, they would be something to fear and praise.
Make It Right went above and beyond my expectations. And I couldn't have asked for anything better for Lea and Max.
Make It Right went above and beyond my expectations. And I couldn't have asked for anything better for Lea and Max.
If you couldn't tell, this was a FIVE GOLDEN STARS read and the author is Megan Erickson (she pretty darn awesome)
1 Corinthians 1:4-5
P.S. Mix Lea and her dad together, and you have me. I swear, they are my spirit characters. I love them with all my heart.
And I'm pretty sure Megan stalked me. She had to have; there were to many similarities between this book and I. Also my love for this book had nothing to do with a bacon reference, but I will say it did increase my love for it. Bacon is heavenly and so is this book which is why I HIGHLY encourage you to read it.

Gender + Food Systems
"Whether or not we like to admit it, our food practices remain profoundly gendered." (Brady et al, 2017, p. 81).
Despite advancements in divisions of labour in Canadian households over the past few decades, women are more likely to be engaged in, and responsible for, food and foodwork. And food practices are still tightly associated with our social construction of femininity and contribute to dominant social expectations about the performance of "being a woman" in Canada. Adopting a feminist perspective reveals patterns of inequality in the food system as they relate to women's paid and unpaid labour. As noted by Allen and Sachs (2012, p. 1), there are contradictions within women's positions and experiences in relation to food and food systems: "women perform the majority of food-related work, but they control few resources and hold little decision-making power in the food industry and food policy. And, although women bear responsibility for nourishing others, they often do not adequately nourish themselves." In this week's lecture, we will discuss ways in which oppression operates to prevent women from freely participating in an equitable food system.

Sheaffer Sentinel Ballpoint
11 months ago by wrshao
In Stationery
Not for fussy buyers
Have a authentic vintage used Sentinel for sale
It is currently using 0.7mm Sheaffer blue ballpoint refill.
This ballpoint is not the regular Sentinel, but it is actually a collaboration with Sailor in the 1980s.
Hence the logo 'S' with the Sheaffer's white dot on the tip of the clip.
The pen is too small for my hand for everyday use, thus selling it cheap. Box included is authentic as well.

I just don't understand. Now I know that I am not that smart. I am aware that my intellectual acumen resembles that of a four slice toaster. If I didn't know this I get it pointed out to me. Usually daily. At home the question is often posed, "How can you be so stupid?" On the highways of NEPA I often hear "Get out of the way, you idiot!" So I must come to the conclusion that I am as dumb as a box of rocks. So perhaps some kind soul can explain to me this gambling deal to me. I walk into the grocery store and there is a machine twice the size of my refrigerator dispensing scratch off lottery tickets by the thousands. Some of them cost $20. Over at the pharmacy you can get your prescription filled and buy lottery tickets. Go down the street and the church is running a bingo game. Head "up the line" as they say and you can step into the casino filled with "one armed bandits" which vacuum money from your wallet or purse faster that you can say "Indian tribe." Google "Gamble" and the return is: Results 1 - 10 of about 8,770,000 for on line gambling. (0.30 seconds). So it's pretty clear that even though the bible tells us the wages of sin is death that there is plenty of availability to throw our dough down the drain. It would also appear to be legal. So why is it that a local bar and restaurant owner will lose his and his children's livelihood because of gambling? This entrepreneur evidently set up a web site (one of 8,770,00 it would seem) that allowed bettors to place wagers of sin on sporting events. Then the losers or winners would go to his joint, have a few drinks, eat a nice dinner (I am told the chicken wings are to die for) and pay off or get paid off. This 71 year old man not only faces jail after being caught in a sting by the FBI but the cheerful Wilkes-Barre U.S Attorney's office wants his Sports Bar. Now I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. I know that it's the money, honey. The Sports Bar guy wasn't playing nice and sharing the dough. But if that's the case why incarcerate him and take the bar? Why not make him write a check? Because all I know is that if and when the U.S. Attorney's office gets possession of the Sports Bar, what was once a thriving, taxpaying business will sink faster than the Titanic. Because who wants to eat wings made by the government? I could be wrong.

Diesel fit her
I now know more about diesel fuel than I want to. This began exactly a week before Christmas Eve. Thursday. With the extreme cold weather here in NEPA I check the trusty heating oil tanks often. This year in spite of the human flesh freezing chill the gauge wasn't moving. Hurrah! Our conservation efforts and triple layers were working. Until I tapped the gauge and it went from half full to mostly empty in a heartbeat. Uh oh. My friendly neighborhood fuel guys deliver on Thursday so I thought I was in luck. No soap. They would be happy to come…Christmas Eve. "But", I cleverly protested. "I'm going to run out."
"No problem" said she. "Just fill it up with diesel fuel."
"That'll work?" I said incredulously.
"Would I steer you wrong?"
I should have known better right then. As it turns out she was right. Diesel fuel and heating oil are basically the same. The dye color (red here in the US) indicates the difference and has more do with how it's taxed then how or what it burns in.
Now here is where the stupidity comes in. I did it. Instead of picking up the phone and calling one of the 40 other fuel guys who no doubt would be only too happy to take my money, I fell for it. Hook line and yellow plastic five gallon container which cost me $9.99. Diesel fuel is more expensive than fuel oil. I did manage to find a gas station that had dyed diesel but it was still pricey.
And it was a pain in the ass. The burner in the basement was thirsty. To the tune of five gallons per day. So every stinking day out of some misguided sense of loyalty to the friendly neighborhood fuel guys I went through the process. And I do mean stinky. Diesel smells. Bad. And the fancy specially marked yellow fuel can? Well let's just say someone improved the spout technology to the point where I never got more of the smelly stuff in the tank then I got on me or on the ground.
But Christmas Eve was coming. The long suffering wife said "You really think they will come?"
"Of course," I replied. "They promised."
Of course you know they didn't. And so it was that on Christmas Day I was back at the gas station whose clerk knew me on sight. And smell. I noticed a bunch of fuel oil trucks parked near this gas station. A phone call the next day produced a same day delivery. I wish I could say my original friendly neighborhood fuel guys got a cheery message from me. I would be wrong.
Who are you?
In all the hoopla surrounding the upset come from behind win for the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl there is something that seems to have been over looked. The glaring omission? The horrible tragedy that occurred at half-time. All I can think is that it was SO upsetting that people are just ignoring it, pretending it never happened. Maybe it will just go away. Well I have news for you. It really happened, I saw it with my own eyes and it made me sick. In fact I went to bed with an upset stomach and didn't even get to see the rest of the game. I refer of course to the alleged performance by 50 percent of what used to be "The Who."
It wasn't Who are you? But what are you that was the question as Pete Townshend and Roger Daltry murdered half a dozen of the band's classics. Out of key, out of time and looking every moment like they were wishing they were elsewhere counting the paycheck - it was embarrassing. I felt like shouting out from my generation to the younger generation, "Don't listen. Run. Cover your ears. They were better than this. Loads better."
Frankly I always thought that "The Who" should have had the same dignity that Led Zeppelin showed when they threw in the towel after John "Bonzo" Bonham passed away. Drummer Keith Moon was such a big part of the sound of the group. But they soldiered on. But to continue after John "The Ox" Entwistle died was just in poor taste. And yet there they were.
Without dissecting everything that went wrong last night two things stood out like Janet Jackson's mammary glands. Roger Daltry looked like he was being moved by a puppeteer. For a look at what Roger really looks like reference the Woodstock performance of the finale ofTommy. Sunday he looked like he was heavily medicated or had recently undergone shock therapy. Now I know he is 66 but Mick Jagger is 67 and he moves around like a chicken on methamphetamine.
And speaking about Janet Jackson and her famous wardrobe malfunction, what was up with Pete's shirt? Do we really want to see his lily white belly hanging over his guitar while he tried to do his trademark windmills?
45 years ago (hardly seems possible but it's true) Roger belted out the lyrics to what would become if not one of The Who's biggest certainly it's most recognizable hits. I am glad they did NOT attempt to do a version of "My Generation." Seeing the feeble Daltry rasp out "I hope I die before I get old" would have been too much to bear.
Busy Signal
We have not one but two land line phone numbers at the Rising ranch. I know that seems positively anachronistic in this age of cell phones and voice over internet protocol but there is a reason. Sort of. The main house phone is used by a family member who prefers it. The second line was installed for my "business" and was also a fax line. Remember faxes? I keep it because it's in the yellow pages and two or three times a month I get a call from that. I also keep it for a sadistic form of entertainment. I have a vice. I like to torture telemarketers. I know it's bad. They are just trying to do a job. When I die and go to whatever circle of hell I am doomed for, the guy with the horns and pitchfork will have me making phone calls to complete strangers at dinnertime. It's only fair.
The house phone is do not call protected. Works like a charm. The business line is not. I get on average five calls a day. So I can do things like repeat every word they say back to them.
Or pretend that I know them.
"Karem, my old friend! You rascal you. How's the harem?"
Or I can do the old call and response:
Me: Hello - ANNOYING TELEMARKETING COMPANY: Hello, this is ANNOYING TELEMARKETING COMPANY - Me: Is this A. T. C.? - A. T. C.: Yes, this is A. T. C - Me:- This is A. T. C.? -A. T. C.: Yes This is A. T. C -Me: Is this A. T. C.? - A. T. C.: YES! This is A. T. C., may I speak to Mr. Rising please? - Me: May I ask who is calling? - A. T. C. This is A. T. C… (Repeat until they hang up.)
Or I just keep repeating, "I knew you were going to say that…"
But now in the age of computers you can get high tech. There exist "Soundboards" on the interwebs that can give you short sound clips of almost any famous person , categorized by replies, insults, questions, exclamations, sounds. Well you get the drift. With a few of these open and a speaker phone you can really do some psychic damage to a telemarketer. Think Stewie Griffin. "What the deuce?" Or Robert De Niro. "You talkin' to me?"
Funny as all this is I do try to remember that telemarketers aren't actually the spawn of Satan, that they are real people just doing a job and being cruel to them isn't right. So afterwards I tell them "Please put me on your Do Not Call list." I could be lying.

I caught this on the web. It's not pro shot or anything, but Trent's comment's in the middle of La Mer are kind of interesting. It kind of explains La Mer which I've never really thought fit in with the rest of the song's on The Fragile disc's. But yet people are cheering!?!? This does kind of explain why that song is kind of in left field when compared to the rest of the album.

SUPER pig calmly seated on Balotelli's laps will not join her owner anytime soon until she is granted a visa.
Liverpool striker, Mario Balotelli should be ready to sleep with his blanket, in calming loneliness as there is no Fanny Neguesha to keep him warm at night.
Worse at that, his best mate, a 4 months-old pig he named, SUPER has been denied entrance into the United Kingdom, owing to the restriction they have on importing animals.
The 24 year-old Italian has been struggling since his move from AC Milan to Anfield and it seem it would continue unless he registers as a breeder and get a valid certificate of health for the pig from an Italian veterinary doctor
Balotelli better show up at the Health ministry for certification, else the rest of the weekend would be awesomely lonely
this is pretty hilarious though.LOL.

people who walk from debts
some have taken me time to pay off, but, i work at them on a steady basis. there was a time when i had a chunk of change from a house sale, and a friend was in dire straits....her father had defaulted on her student loans by signing her name to them, and keeping the money. i loaned her a significant amount of cash to pay off the debt.
this allowed her to move forward in her life, getting an apartment, buying a car, buying all she decided she wanted to have.. and not paying me a dime.
finally, she admitted to the debt and started paying something every month... not a huge amount, but, i appreciated her working on it, and dropped my plans to hire a collection agency.
she recently sent me a fairly good sized check, saying this was her pay off.. i advised her it was less than she owed, but, took the check, noting it was not full payment of the debt owed.
i told her i had deposited the check, and was using the funds to pay medical bills, pay a deposit on the new place, and give the zenmaster money i owed him... he'd stepped in and fixed up my house a year ago, bless his socks.
today, i went to pick up some things to use for packing the house, and my check card wouldn't go through. it was after five, so, i checked my account on my bberry.
she'd stopped payment on the check, and didn't tell me. knowing i had used it, knowing it was necessary to my move, she stopped payment and didn't tell me.
i'm stunned.
i have enough in my savings to cover the huge hole in my account, and the short check charges...but, that leaves me with a 0 balance, and as of the 20th, no place to live. i've given up this apartment, and the deposit check bounced.
good fun.
i'm sure things will come together... i believe karma repays what you do... the hard part will be going after her for the money. she's in chicago, i'm in, well...god knows where i'll be... still, it more than likely means going to chicago. i plan on asking for all travel expenses, etc, should we go to court. i've all the emails with her agreeing to pay, how much she'd pay, etc.
eventually, i'll get my cash, it's the bother i have to go through to get to that point. what is amusing is she holds herself out on her blog as this righteous, trustworthy, moral person.... and, with the trouble i've had even getting her to start paying me, and now this... well.
yes, i know, lessons learned and all that stuff.
i'm venting.

I've been there, as you know. It was a nasty thing for her to do, and I can only hope the karma jumps up and kicks on the a****
Now you know why I don't go after people who owe me. They did it once, they'll do it again. I shall get them in the end, but I doubt I'll be there to see it.

What a lowly thing of her to do! If she was having trouble paying you back she should tell you, not run away from it all and hope you'll forget, especially if it's a large sum of money. Some people just have no idea how to behave. I hope it doesn't have to go to court.

You know what they say...No good deed goes unpunished. I have read that when you loan family and friends money you better do it with the thought that you may not ever get it back.
Crappy friend though. She got screwed by her father but then screws you. Gotta love the mentality of people.

I LOVE that this cheapo old hag was STIFFED! hahahaha You talk about karma repaying what you do, then why don't you consider being shafted YOUR karma? stupid old hag, karma works both ways.
- June 5, 2009 at 9:43 AM
To Anonymous:
If it did anything to Quinn, it actually cleansed her karma, which is a good thing. It means good things will come to Quinn. I'm sure she did not loan that money for her own self gratification.
It's a pity that you would wish ill will on someone when all they did was try to help a friend in a bad situation.
Did something bad happen to you when you referred to her as a stupid old hag? It just might. That's called karma!

Dragonball Scouter Toy – Value $14.99
A Dragonball toy! Sweet! I loved watching this show so much growing up, and I vividly remember this cool-looking accessory.
The Scouter comes in three pieces that snap into place easily.
I think this toy is sized for kids, rather than adults—my head is pretty small, and the non-adjustable band was stretching just a bit to fit. Because of that, it tends to slide down every few minutes. I know this because I wore this Scouter around my house like a goofball all night, haha! I mean, why not?
In the show, the red lens would display calculations of how powerful different characters were. In toy form, the lens is just a red lens. (Or maybe that's because I didn't bump into any Super Saiyans while I was wearing the Scouter…)
Because the pieces snap into place, they can also easily snap out of place. This isn't the sturdiest toy in the world, but it was definitely fun for this Dragonball fan to get!
Hero Academy Static Sticker Set – Value $6.99
This sheet features seven stickers total—six heroes and one Akibento logo. These aren't really "stickers" so much as window clings. They're made of thick, velvety smooth plastic that sticks to glass via static. At first I thought they'd be fun to stick in the rear window of a car (kind of the anime version of those stick figure families people have), but it seems like only the blank back side of the decals stick to glass (so they'd have to face into the car, rather than smile at the person driving behind me). My only wish is that these characters were labeled—I don't recognize them all, but I'd like to learn who they are!
Mystery Anime Keychain – Value $8.99
Which keychain you get this month is up to the Akibento powers that be. I got a soft plastic keychain featuring Shinra from Durarara!!
I love the cute representation of this nerdy doctor. This little geek is a favorite character of mine, so I feel like I lucked out with this mystery item!
The keychain is pretty flat, soft, and flexible. I've had keychains like this before, and I know they can pick up ink, dust, and such. I'll have to make sure I keep Shinra's crisp coat nice and clean. (I should be able to use a cleaning wipe on it to take care of any stains.)
Mystery One Piece Figurine – Value $9.99?
I couldn't find this exact item online, so I linked to a similar figurine.
This blind box contains one of the One Piece characters in figurine form. Drumroll, please…
It's the Heart Pirate, Trafalgar Law! I love the detail on this tiny (about 2″ tall) figurine, especially the patterns along the bottom of his coat. Holes in his heels fit over pegs on the translucent plastic stand, so that you can display him easily. He stands on his own, too, though!
JoJo Sticker – Value $1.99
This JoJo's Bizarre Adventure sticker is meant to be a circle, but if you're careful with how you peel the backing off, you could keep the gold border intact and make it a square. It's a matte sticker—I kind of wish it was one of those shiny vinyl ones, but it's still fun!
Akibento Exclusive Hero Eye Mask – Value $9.99
This month, Akibento subscribers all get an exclusive One Punch Man eye mask, but it's a mystery as to whether it's a Saitama design or a Genos design. I got Genos! Looks pretty fierce, huh?
"Does not give super hero powers." Aw, man.
The mask is silky smooth and has a comfortable elastic band. I love using eye masks on planes or train trips. There's no better way to block out the world and get some rest. And luckily enough, I have a trip coming up! This mask is going in the carry-on, folks.
Also, I look super intimidating when I've got these eyes on mine. Oh, you think you're gonna wake me up? Look into my cyborg eyes, and say that again.
Akibento Hero Button – Value $1.00?
Each month, Akibento includes a little (about 1 inch) button featuring the theme. It's a fun little collectible, especially after you start to accumulate these buttons over the months.
Akibento Exclusive Hero Shirt – Value $20.99
Every box comes with an exclusive t-shirt based on the theme. This month, the shirt features some of your favorite heroes in a silly situation. (Aw, poor little Saitama!)
I dig the design and that the t-shirt itself is 100% cotton. It's comfy and breathable, though it doesn't have a ton of stretch. Super soft, though.
Bonus Item: PeachMilky Tea Sticker – Value $1.99?
This little surprise is based on the YouTuber mentioned in the booklet. It's a nice sticker and awfully cute, though it feels a little weird since I'm not a fan of this gal. But I like that they included something extra!
I couldn't find this exact sticker on Akibento's site, so I linked to a similar sticker.
Verdict: This Akibento box was one of my favorites so far. I like fun items like toys and trinkets, so the keychain, the figurine, and even the Scouter toy were especially fun for me to receive. There's about $77.00 in this $23.95 box, which is huge. I'm used to anime merchandise costing around $20.00 a pop, so to get a whole box of items for that much is pretty sweet. Lots of the items are Akibento versions of characters (not official merchandise, but sort of fan-drawn stickers and so forth), but that's been bothering me less and less each month.
What do you think of Akibento?

960th Cyberspace Operations Group Public Affairs
3/20/2014 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas -- The
Air Force Reserve Command deactivated the 960th Cyberspace Operations
Group - Detachment 2 and re-designated the unit the 426th Network
Warfare Squadron in a ceremony March 8 at the Bob Hope Theater here.
The squadron, formerly two detachments designed to house cyber defense
Airmen and build to squadron strength, joins the 960th Cyberspace
Operations Group here. It now boasts more than 60 Reservists and
protects the Air Force's vast network infrastructure from cyber warfare
and enemy surveillance.
"I'm honored to take command of this squadron of dedicated cyber defense
warriors," said Maj. Rocko Rodriguez, 426th NWS commander. "Our
mission, while a detachment, was to produce effects for the Air Force
and combatant commands in, through and from cyberspace by employing
synchronized network defense operations to detect, respond to and
prevent network intrusions. Now, we will do the very same as a squadron
at full strength, continuing to provide the best quality protection and
security for our Air Force."
The 426th NWS' storied history began under the name 26 Airdrome Squadron
in 1943 at Kearney Air Base, Netherlands, as part of 2nd Air Force,
serving honorably throughout World War II and earning several
outstanding unit awards. Over the years, it has served as intelligence
and information operations squadrons, before arriving in Texas as a
cyber defense unit.
Rodriguez, who is also an air reserve technician with the squadron, is
adding his own piece to the remarkable history of this decorated unit.
He is the only one who will ever have served as the commander of the
once detachment, which grew to squadron size before a different person
could be named commander.
"It's exciting to think I'm the only commander that will ever have been
the commander of Detachment 2, but it's even better to be able to build
on what we've started," said Rodriguez. "I'm confident in our Reservists
to provide unrivaled network strength at this level, as they have
always done.
"We are poised and ready to serve by continuing to provide the very best in defensive cyber operations."
The reorganization will now position the 426th NWS under the 960th CYOG,
supporting their "Guardians of the Grid" mission of providing
combat-ready forces with specialized expertise in the operation and
defense of Air Force and Defense Department global information grids.
"We're growing in leaps in bounds from where we were last year, from two
detachments to a squadron," said Col. Lloyd Terry, 960th CYOG
commander. "We started out small and now just a year later, we have

Blooming 3 to 6 times a year.
got one of this but only with three bulbs, nice pics and bloom, by the way, what's the total length of the flower?
Hi Ian it's slow growing bulb, I got 40 pseudobulbs attached firmly on Rambutan tree, when the plants received much light and enough water the total length would be 12 to 13 inches otherwise just about 10 to 11 inches.
Beautiful indeed, I've got one for a few years but it is not willing to blossom, I guess it hasn't got enough light.
12 inches! WOW....can't wait to see the flower myself. thanks for the info and i do agree.....very slow growing bulb. thanks for the info En. Zainal
Lovely bloom. Congratulations.
Very beautiful, like the color stripes.
I love this orchid, Zain. You have bloomed it so welll too! Nice growing.
Salam En. Zain, Wow! 40 pbulbs. Congrats on this very nice bloom and healthy plant.

A beautiful lavender heart which Miles sewed himself at Steiner Group. Usually we help him with the needle but he managed almost all of this piece alone.
The day has been spent in true mothering style - wiping runny noses, offering lots of fluids, dispensing copious cuddles and reading tales from Enid Blyton amongst others.
Why do we always seem to catch lots of bugs in spring time?
