Little Creek Casino
A large dirt lot is located close to the casino but it's dusty especially when the wind blows. Most overnight RVers park in the paved lot near the campground. It's fairly level with plenty of room.
The entrance casino is an easy walk/roll from the lot. The chairs are light but the plush carpeting makes rolling a bit difficult. Casino

Bus Stop: 1976
Tammy, the prettiest girl in the trailer park, is in the habit of washing her hair every morning before school, the better to emphasize the gleaming blue-black drape that hangs well below her waist. Because she is too cool to wear a hat, her hair has frozen solid in the six-block walk to the bus stop.
Next to Tammy is Rita Bayer. There is a wary, uneasy space between the two of them.
I know four of the Bayer kids. Their trailer is never empty of teenagers. Their driveway never has less than three cars in it - four if you include the Mustang on blocks back next to the shed.
All the Bayers are boys. Even the girls are boys. They are sturdy and box-shaped.
The Bayers aren't built for speed; they are built to crush.
I had met Rita three months earlier at the bus stop on our first day in the new court.
"Hi," I said.
"What's your name?" she countered.
"Pearl," I said. "What's yours?"
"What?" I said.
"Guess." A demand.
"Um. Sharon," I said.
"Pssssss, " she said, hissing between her teeth. Clearly, she was dealing with an idiot.
"You gotta be kiddin' me," she jeered. "Guess again."
Guess again? No, thank you. "Um. I give up," I said.
"Rita!" she shouted, triumphantly.
Rita? I was supposed to have guessed "Rita"? Yikes! Welcome to the first day of seventh grade.
Rita and I never became friends. Rita said things like "yank me" and, even worse, the horrifying "lick my butt". I never knew where to look when she said that.
Tammy scowls at her in the thin pre-dawn light. The two of them are oil and water; and if Tammy had a brother, I'm sure she would've had him attempt to beat Rita up by now.
"Your hair is frozen," Rita observes.
"No shit, Sherlock," Tammy says.
"Howdja like me to break it off at the roots?" Rita asks, pleasantly. She could just as easily be asking "howdja like a three-day weekend" or "howdja like half a pizza".
Tammy steps behind me, uses me as a shield. "Go ahead," she says, holding my shoulders. "Try it, Lard-O."
Lard-O is a misnomer. Rita isn't fat. As solid as a tree trunk, and moving just slightly faster than one, she grabs the front of my coat with one hand and takes a swing for Tammy's head with the other. She misses Tammy's head but manages to grab her coat.
"Hey!" I shout, angrily.
"Stand still," Rita advises.
"LINDSEY!" Tammy is screaming for her older sister. Lindsey, however, is a good block away. She sees what is going on and continues her slow walk to the bus stop.
Rita lets go of me and I duck away. Holding Tammy's coat at the throat with her right hand, she casually licks her left thumb and smears it across Tammy's forehead, then shoves her, hard, backwards.
Tammy falls heavily to the street. She jumps up, twisting to see the butt of her white painter's pants. They are ruined.
"I'm gonna get you! I'm gonna get you!" she screams.
Tammy runs home, crying.
Rita looks at me. "Washing your hair in the morning is stupid," she challenges.
"You're right about that," I say.

I remember my hair freezing on my walk to the bus... And feeling lonely and wishing I lived in the neighborhood when all the kids picked up the bus together. Now I'm thinking solitude may have been safer.

We lived on a dirt road growing up. Down the road near the creek was a trailer park. They grew them tough and mean. Something about aluminum sides and tandem axles didnt settle well with those kids. They had an ongoing war with my sis(also kinda mean). The bus stop was a time of poked out tongues and extended middle fingers.

Susan, it certainly was a different kind of neighborhood. I'd write about the guy that ate worms, but he always kinda made me sad...
Kara, I loved painter pants. They fit great and had plenty of pockets! :-) And if you lived in MN in the 70s it's possible I lived in your town for a while. :-)

Oh, this took me back. Most of the bus fights that I witnessed were ON the actual bus. My seat was always awkwardly located smack dab in the middle of the fight. Our bus driver was oblivious.
Yeah...those were the (terrifying) days.

Ugh.. school bus stops. In high school it wasn't bad (when my friend was there to talk to) but the days she wasn't.. awkward, not knowing where to look. I would have loved having an ipod back then.

- Pearl said...
Sue, surprisingly, I don't recall any fights, although I do remember a guy who lit up a cigarette in the back...
Green Girl, I've no doubt!!
Yandie, I moved a lot and got accustomed to not needing to talk to people. I was more of an observer and was really only picked on in one school. Very glad we didn't stay there as I can't imagine what I would've turned out to be in that place...

I'd be quite tempted to snap off frozen hair at the roots as well, to see if it could be done.

At our bus stop it was just me and my brother, half heartedly bashing each other with our lunch boxes at the end of a long dirt driveway along a lonely gravel road. But the bus. The hour long bus ride into town. Goodness, an entire culture developed there that anthropologists could study for ages.

Ahhh...1976...I was in 7th grade too - Bicentennial year all year in school. I didn't have a bus ride - but remember the trend for white painter pants very well - I never had them but did love some OshKosh overalls.

Yeah, redneck breeds all sorts of crazy kids.
One skeevy dude in 5th grade, who saw that I had a zit, offered me his "zit popper."

At least he had a generous spirit.

This reminds me of some of the roughneck girls in our high school. Pretty hard for them to learn anything else coming from the homes they had. But still, they struck fear in my heart. They used to use the main bathroom as their noontime hangout, so I found a small bathroom on a different floor to pursue my ablutions.

Oh, and I notice it took you 35 years to get up the courage to write about Rita; that's the kind of fear we're talking about here :)

I was alone in the dark at the end of my Michigan driveway, when my hair froze. More like 9th grade. Some days I'd have frozen hair, frozen nostrils, and drenched armpits by the time the bus came.
The routine: Wash your hair the night before, and roll it on eleven lemonade cans. Sleep on them. If it's not dry in the morning, at least it's straight.

I was a girl with string-straight frozen hair at the bus stop. It had to be as absolutely clean as possible, so I always waited until the last moment to wash it.

I never knew hair could freeze in the cold. It makes sense, but in Texas, it's never an issue. That, and we don't leave the house when the temperature drops below freezing.

It seems that my bus stop was always in front of wherever the house was at the time, otherwise, I walked. Never a hassle, guess I grew up in a kinder gentler time. It was in school, that the creeps came out.

Mini Luxembourg Vlog | a day in the cityWednesday, April 15, 2015
Two days ago I went to Luxembourg City with my boy Eric and decided to film a bit. We were basically just hanging out, going shopping and walking around the city. Sorry that we didn't speak a lot and that it might not be too interesting if you already live here or have visited the city before. Anyways I hope you enjoy this little video and let me know if you would like to see more videos in the future. xx

Research group
A Postdoctoral position is open in Dr Linda Lindström's research group. The research group focuses on research to further understand the risk for women diagnosed with breast cancer to die from their disease. This is important because breast cancer is the most common cancer and in mid-life one of the main causes of death in women. Breast cancer is however a diverse disease both in the sense of metastatic capacity as well as time to fatal disease. In particular for some breast cancer subtypes, patients have a long-term increased risk to die from the disease spanning more than 20 years after diagnosis. The research group uses a variety of approaches in their studies, but the research is mainly based on patient cohorts and clinical studies. The group frequently collaborates with international research groups.
For more information on the work of the research group please visit: http://ki.se/en/bionut/lindstrom
We are currently initiating several research projects. In one project we will continue our research initiatives on breast cancer intra-tumor heterogeneity as associated with aggressive breast cancer disease. In this project we will annotate information on gene expression on single breast cancer tumor cells (single-cell sequencing). We will also annotate two clinical trials with genetic information and tumor characteristics to determine which factors that are associated with long-term survival in women diagnosed with breast cancer. The goal of the projects is to identify patients at high and very low risk for fatal disease in order to already at diagnosis be able to improve clinical management and increase survival for breast cancer patients.
The Postdoctoral researcher will have an important role in the project and be responsible for logistics, planning, as well as statistical analytical work, scientific article writing and data presentation etc.
The position is for 2 years with a possible extension after evaluation.
Skills and personality
We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated candidate with a clear interest in breast cancer research and statistical analysis. Since the Postdoctoral researcher will work and communicate scientific findings in an interdisciplinary and international environment, good communication and writing skills in English are very important.
It is a clear advantage if the applicant has documented subject knowledge of relevance to the area of research such as:
Emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
Entry requirements
A person is eligible for a position as Postdoctoral Researcher if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than seven years before the last date of employment as postdoc. The term can be extended under special circumstances.
Application process
An employment application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:
The application is to be submitted through the MyNetwork recruitment system.

These are critical logistical coordinative functions that may possibly spur greater involvement among those who are energetic on the Twitter platform. Outside of the functionality for publicity during fundraising actions, Twitter could also successfully strengthen upon catastrophe response and reduction shipping and delivery from volunteers and aid teams insofar as it provides alongside one another into dialogue engaged and fascinated actors. Twitter amplifies voice, generating a probably broader audience, better mobilization attempts, and increased awareness from the support local community at big as catastrophe occasions capture world-wide consideration more simply now than ahead of. Nevertheless, we understand that it is critical to also evaluate the affect of Twitter in relation to how impacted persons on their own accessed and utilized Twitter and benefited from any strategies arranged by the system. Investigation on affected communities' possess works by using of social media advise a disconnect between global initiatives with encounters on the floor.The evolution of posted content material moves from a predominance of info about the typhoon to disaster aid messages and reactions and stories about international response. The news cycle, media resources producing stories about the storm and its aftermath, sustains interest at a significant degree for numerous times. This indicators the relevance of formal information sources in providing the authentic articles that generates desire in the community, as it is retweeted at scale, focus spreads through diverse countries bringing the event to international importance. This large amount of consideration, indicated by the volume of retweets in the early days, creates a neighborhood of followers of hashtags about Haiyan which in turn serves as the main audience for all other non-informational posts that adhere to in the times of response and aid. As customers of the Twitter public lead to reduction efforts in different ways , they put up about their individual and others' attempts, extending challenge interest in the network and probably creating a feeling amongst followers of the hashtags that a huge community is immediately included, which may in flip develop a perceived social normative strain to add.Celebrities had a central part in performing as info hubs and important entities in the community that would raise consideration and then sustain it via time. Particularly, Harry Styles and Liam Payne, associates of a musical group called 1 Route with a large international admirer base, showed up in the results as getting central information hubs for catastrophe aid drives. There are numerous other celebrities that look amongst the top sources of retweeted messages, highlighting the relevance of info hubs in making wide networks of followers for issues. Even the Twitter admirer web pages of stars usually surface as best resources of retweeted content material on specific days. The scale of this impact is large, and a systematic empirical network examination of the sizing and pace of data diffusion from stars is in get to clarify precisely the depth and breadth of this affect.AZThis investigation is confined by some critical constraints. Very first, the spritzer level entry to Twitter facts and the opacity of the variety of tweets the system supplies limits the ability of a lot of scientific studies like this to present the actual scale of consideration and content material diversity.

Some clients are so unbelievable! I think they cant differ between Social Media Analyst and Social Media Content Producer. If you are as annoying as these uninformed people, you need to read this.
1. We are SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT PRODUCERS:
We manage your accounts daily, help you grow your brand, and make people aware of your presence in the social media world. Our strong point is our good writing skills. And you have to be able to UNDERSTAND CLEARLY that we cannot make your followers grow, unless your pictures are in good qualities.
It's the content that makes your account grow its followers organically. We are not some low-class follower-seller kind of people. For us, that is the cheapest most outrageous way to grow followers, because it's FAKE and it's DANGEROUS, as they can steal your username and password. Please put that in mind.
2. Building Our Mutual Trust:
We know that you pay us to help you maintain and manage your account. But the most annoying thing a client could do is to keep asking about the growth of their followers "every.single.day". You have to learn to let go and let us do our job. Learn to trust us enough to run your account and – slowly but surely, your followers and likes will grow.
3. Give Us Good-Quality Pictures and We Will Handle The Rest:
On top of that, the most essential thing about 'likes and followers' are a bright and good-quality picture mixed with strong and beautiful caption that will surely make your posts standout among the crowds. BEAR IN MIND that you need to give us a variety of good-quality pictures; fresh pictures weekly or monthly are a must if you want to grow your followers. Because netizen get bored easily with the same pictures you post over and over again.
4. Picture Policy:
Unless you are a supermodel or a public figure, you need to stop posting selfies every day. Focus on what you do: your work, your career, your hobbies, your interests, etc. On top of that, post something that your followers can see value, knowledge or information in it. In this way, your account will be more interesting because it contains useful informations wrapped in great writings. (KB)

I apologize that my Bow Tie Friday post is so late today, but work has been so crazily busy this week, and, unfortunately, I got behind on some things. As I was thinking about summer and bow ties, I decided to continue the nautical theme I started last week. As I've said before, water and summer just seem to go hand-in-hand.
This week's Bow Tie Friday pick is this great tie from Tommy Hilfiger. Unlike the usual displays of anchors, boats, nautical flags, and sea creatures, this unique bow tie boasts a fun fishhook pattern on a blue background. The fishhooks are silver, and mimic the metal they are made from, while the lovely shade of blue reminds us of the relaxing azure sea – a winning combination all around.
I have to admit I love this fishhook bow tie from Tommy Hilfiger. It gives us a fresh take on the nautical theme, while offering a new perspective on the relationship between water and summer.
***Do you have any fishing themed pieces in your summer wardrobe?

Indonesia is the land of diverse religions and cultures. So it is very obvious that the calendar of events of Indonesia will be equally colorful and diversified. The Galungan Festival in Indonesia is one of the major festivals here. This festival is the most important festival for Balinese. The Galungan Festival symbolizes the victory of Dharma (Virtue) upon Adharma (Evil), filled with cultural rites and ceremonies.The Galungan Festival is held in Bali. Galungan Day signifies "Pawedalan Jagat" or the earth's festival ceremony. On the eve of Galungan Festival the Hindus thank God for his creations on earth and its content. On this day the Hindus express their gratitude to God and invite him to come down to earth and join in their celebrations. The Galungan Festival goes on for 10 days. At some Balinese festivals the images of the Gods as well as the thrones they sit on are carried down to the sea where they are given a ceremonial bath. The Galungan Festival has a mythological reference. There was a cruel king called Mayadenawa. The death of the King Mayadenawa is the victory of the good (Dharma) upon evil (Adharma). This victory day is celebrated every six months (6x35 days=210 days), which is called Galungan Day. It is called Galungan, probably because it is celebrated on wuku Galungan (based on the Balinese calendar), and so does Kuningan Day that falls on wuku Kuningan. Galungan Day is celebrated every Budha Kliwon Dungulan. One of the essential commodities for Galungan Festival is Penjor. Penjor is made of a long bamboo pole with its curved end, and decorated with rice paddies, corn on the cob, coconut, cakes, a piece of white or yellow cloth, etc. Penjor is usually built on Penampahan Galungan (a day before the Galungan Day). It is symbolizes Mount Agung and gratitude for the agricultural produce. Mount Agung is the symbol of holiness as a connection to Mount Semeru, Mount Himalaya, or Mahameru, which is believed as the place where Bhatara Putra Jaya stays. There are different stages in Galungan Festival and each element has its own symbolization.
The Galungan Festival is a religious festival here. Though it is a festival of the Hindus, the participation of people from various castes is really noticeable. Do, come in this festival. You will certainly enjoy it.

First, yes, it is cold and windy - not a very relaxed convenient way to shop in NYC. Then, the stores are practically barren -- all of the fall/winter apparel already went on sale, more than a month ago, meaning that it's pretty much all GONE. Then, the new apparel is this weird "not Winter" and "not Spring" stuff. Some stores carry cruisewear and I don't know about you, but I've never gone on a cruise, and even if I did, I can't imagine that it would warrant an entire new wardrobe. But that's just me, the practical middle class kid.
I did buy the pictured skirt at my favorite, Club Monaco, today. Did I need it? Not so much, however it was on sale for only $29. What I really need are pants, but as I explained above, there was nothing doing.

Ok, I know I haven't posted in a few days but I've been at home sick. Erratic back and chest pains and a really disoriented dizzy type of feeling. Ionno prolly something to do with the fact i read the Twinkie Book for about an hour and then stared at the computer screen for another 5 hours. (My mother has me holed up in her room on this Gerald Levert video project) But i did actually start a blog last night but I just wasn't feeling it and i have to be consistent. I'd rather do nothing than do crap. This was another one of them crappy mornings where the shirt has them permanent wrinkles. Prolly something to do with the fact that i washed clothes last week Friday and never hung them up but whatever. And then I get in the office to find out that Ruth is really gone and the group has come to a screeching halt. I was asking around nobody got anything done and everybody is just really tired. I was at least hoping that my poetry slam vid would have been handed in with an article from Ruth but alas she did not do it. WTF? this was her story how the hell could she not do an article to accompany the vid. the vid is just supplementing the article. No time to get5 pissed tho. I'm juts gonna do the article myself. Look for that soon.
Today Mr. Long "You can't say shit on a blog, it's not professional" Tran cam thru to brainstorm ideas fro tomorrows presentation. During our little session Kaira mention something about the Hurricane Katrina victims raping little kids. I'm not saying that some little kids didn't get raped but I am saying that that shit was not rampant. Jacko and Micheal Baker were not roamin the flooded streets of New Orleans. They were at R. Kelly's party. These allegations of rape against the victims reminded me of the portrayal of the stranded victims as "refugees". Martial Law was put into effect and the national guard could shoot any looters at will. I swear to Oprah I love this country. (What? You didn't read the last blog? Oprah is God where you been?) What the fuck else were they supposed to do? If you were sitting on your roof with your kids and your wife just got washed away in the current with nothing to eat. F.E.M.A. sat on their fat ass and the news copters flew right by. If they didn't eat it the food would've spoiled anyway. who the fuck are you to call me refugee? The nerve of these people. I remember the mayor at the time gettin on TV and saying that looting would not be tolerated. They werent stealing plasma screens shithead. Where the fuck were they gonna plug them without a home? I betchu if Google ran the country Katrina woulda been handled madd qiuckly. And Buck Fush becuz he flew right by the stranded in his AF1. They shoulda been lootin Rocket Launcher to shoot his ass down there with him. Catch em and eat him. But don't kill him first just break his legs so he can't run anywhere. The start cuttin off arms and legs. Mind you he's still alive so he can feel all of this. Let him bleed to death. Now I wont steal food. You happy now?
Listen wit headphones i suggest cuz its background commentary you cant hear if you play it out the speakers.

Noted Christian apologist William Lane Craig debated Joe Cruz '91, assistant professor of philosophy, on the basis of morality in the Thompson Memorial Chapel on Feb. 19. The debate was advertised under two different titles: "Can Morality Exist Without God?" and "Is the Basis of Morality Natural or Supernatural?"
Craig is research professor of philosophy at the Talbot School of Theology and the author of Reasonable Faith and The Logic of Rational Theism. Cruz is assistant professor of philosophy at Williams and co-author of Contemporary Theories of Knowledge. Peter Feudo, associate chaplain to Catholic students, served as moderator for the debate.
During his opening remarks, Craig indicated that he would defend two contentions: first, that if theism is true, then there is a sound basis for morality; and second, that if theism is false there is no objective basis for morality and the only remaining option is moral nihilism. If there is a God, Craig said, then "[His] nature provides the absolute standard against which all morality is measured,"
His commands constitute objective moral duties, and "evil will be punished and righteousness vindicated despite the inequalities of this life." Craig defined "objective" as that which is true and real independent of all human experience.
Craig then argued that there could be no basis for objective moral values, duties or accountability without God. "On an atheistic view, there is nothing special about human beings. . .Moral values are the byproduct of a socioevolutionary process, and any deeper meaning is illusory," he said.
Actions like rape, which are generally accepted as immoral, would be "not socially advantageous" but not objectively wrong. Craig also claimed that if humans are nothing more than highly evolved animals, there can be no objective moral duties – and even if there were, they would "seem irrelevant because there is no accountability. If life ends at the grave then it doesn't matter if you're a Stalin or a saint."
In his opening remarks, Cruz emphasized that God and moral nihilism are "not your only options. Even in the coldest universe without a God that you can think of – which I think is this one – people could still be kind, loving and gentle," said Cruz. He pointed to two traditions in western moral philosophy: the school of Hobbes, Kant and the utilitarians, which holds that morality is "certified by the power of reason," and the view that morality stems from natural sentiments, to which Cruz himself is more sympathetic.
Cruz criticized his opponent's definition of objective, noting that under that definition money and culture have no objective existence. As an alternative, Cruz offered that "the operation of reason on our perception" constitutes objectivity.
In defense of the natural sentiments view of morality, Cruz said that "human beings have evolved sentiments for close kin, which have been extended to others [in society]," and that "sentiments judge themselves as morally good."
"The environmental resource constraints that we have to deal with guarantee morality that is as real as culture and money," Cruz said. Turning to his objections to theism, Cruz asserted – referring all the while to God in the third person feminine – that if God existed, "morality would be subject to God's capricious and holy will." If God had decided that inflicting pain on children was good, he argued, then it would be good only because "God's will always triumphs."
In conclusion, Cruz said that a belief in God's ability to punish transgression in the afterlife leaves us with a morality based on fear. Following the opening statements, which lasted 20 minutes each, the debaters both gave 12-minute rebuttals. Craig first addressed Cruz's evaluation of theism.
"The good is the moral character of God Himself – the attributes of God are constitutive of the good," said Craig. He went on to assert that God's commands are not arbitrary, but that it is "metaphysically necessary" for him to issue those commands. Craig also dismissed Cruz's statement that belief in God leads to a morality based on fear, calling it "a caricature of the theistic lifestyle."
Craig then criticized the natural sentiments viewpoint, charging Hobbes, Kant and Cruz with "specie-ism" – a belief in the uniqueness of humans that cannot be justified in the atheistic worldview – and declaring that the natural sentiments theory is "precisely the affirmation that moral values are subjective."
During his rebuttal, Cruz asked, "Why think that our moral questions only answer to a standard that is transcendent? Why not look to us?"
He argued that "the humanistic view does secure a foundation [for morality]" because "we are accountable to one another – our friends, our family and people in our culture."
Cruz attacked the theistic view on the grounds that God cannot be held accountable for his actions. If one admits that God is accountable to no one, Cruz said, then there is no reason to reject the humanistic view on the grounds that it does not ensure a sense of moral accountability.
The debaters were then granted eight-minute second rebuttals. Craig first responded to Cruz's question about God's moral accountability. He argued that God does not have moral duties because things that we consider to be moral, such as kindness and justice, are his nature.
Craig then articulated more reasons for his opposing the natural sentiments theory. He said that "moral duties become social conventions, like traffic laws, that could easily be reversed." Thus, Craig asserted, social conventions "cannot be discredited from within" and therefore "we need a transcendent vantage point."
In his final rebuttal, Cruz reemphasized his assertion that the theistic view leads to an arbitrary morality. "God is identical to the good, but couldn't God have been identical to something else? . . . Why not think that God is identical to my foot?" he quipped.
Cruz dismissed Craig's claim that the natural sentiments theory reduces morality to social conventions. Rather, he said, "[morality is] a product of the kind of creatures we are. It demeans my view to reduce it to social convention . . . [it is] not the case that [sentiments] are socially negotiated."
Cruz and Craig were each granted a five-minute closing statement, during which each summarized his view and made a final appeal to the audience. During a question-and-answer session, students grilled Craig on his definition of God and Cruz on the possibility of differing moral sentiments.
After the debate, students generally agreed that both sides were well argued but that neither debater convincingly discredited the other.
"I enjoyed the debate between Professor Cruz and Dr. Craig," said Adrian Dowst '04. "Each did a good job arguing his side, though the rhetorical styles used by Dr. Craig and Professor Cruz were as different as the positions they supported. I think each debater le
veled good criticism against the other, but that Dr. Craig and Professor Cruz didn't adequately respond to these attacks. In general, I believe you left with the opinion you came in with (theistic, atheistic, or undecided), but that certainly doesn't mean it was a waste of the evening."
The debate was sponsored by the Williams Christian Fellowship, the Williams College Debate Union, the philosophy department, the religion department, the Feast, the Muslim Students Union, the Newman Catholic Association, the office of the chaplains, and the office of the deans.

Global agrochemical firm Monsanto just announced a $1bn investment in its new herbicide, dicamba, part of Roundup Ready Xtend, its system for genetically engineered crops such as soya beans and cotton.
But, as we consider which paths to go down to solve the world's food, energy, climate and health problems, are we spellbound by hi-tech answers over less glamorous, but potentially better, low-tech approaches?
In discussions on global food and energy systems there seems a system-bias toward "shiny" solutions, creating a loaded and revealing default setting for both debates.
Underlying, systemic problems to do with poverty, failed markets or overconsumption are glossed over when these solutions are publicised and resolve into arguments over whether you are for or against a particular technology. In the case of energy it becomes about support for nuclear power, and in global food systems about whether you do or don't favour the genetic modification of crops.
It is understandable that for public consumption, big complex debates get simplified, echoing former US president George W Bush's binary doctrine of "Either you are with us or with the terrorists" in reference to the "war on terror". But there's more going on than that.
The media seems like a moth to the flames of novel technologies, giving them seemingly disproportionate airtime compared to, say, sustainability options that grow from local, small scale roots that often build on indigenous practices. The former is usually cast as modern, progressive, objective and scientific; the latter is seen to be the opposite – regressive, romantic and an obstacle to progress.
When reported, magic bullets rarely, if ever, get assessed alongside other strategies to achieve similar ends. What is the trade off, for example, in terms of jobs, costs, risk, security, speed of introduction and broader economic benefits of a single nuclear power station against the equivalent in generating capacity ofsmall-scale, community-based renewable schemes?
Instead, each time, the potential human development benefits of the hi-tech solutions get compared to the purely "ideological" concerns of environmentalists, as happened in recent debates about crops modified to carry the nutritional equivalent of fish oil.
Criticism of magic bullet solutions often gets dismissed as ideological, overlooking the fact that magic bullets are typically designed to work with existing large-scale energy, transport and farm infrastructure, allowing the status quo to be maintained.
This was seen with some of the early genetically modified crops. Monsanto caused a furore in the 1990s by considering a controversial crop technique dubbed the "terminator technology" that could have prevented timeless agricultural practices such as seed saving that are key to crop resilience and farmers' livelihoods. While this technique was not commercialised, a similar outcome was achieved by Monsanto having its customers sign an agreement that states they will not save seed to plant the following year, ensuring the purchase of new seed every season. Several crops such as cotton and soy beans depend on proprietary pesticides and herbicides such as Monsanto's controversial glyphosate-based Roundup brand.
New technical innovations also benefit from the media coverage of being easily reportable. More complex approaches that look for better ways to do things at the level of the whole ecosystem, such as agroecology, which may answer more problems and represent more durable solutions, find it harder to grab the imagination. GM crops get about 30,000 news hits on Google, agroecology around 3,000.
But to find the best rather than just the shiniest solutions, and ensure these get the right support, we would benefit from moving beyond a simple for or against mentality to properly assessing the range of options that give the fullest answers to a problem or range of problems.
We can ask what is the problem to which GM crops are the only or best solution? There are almost always choices to consider. If weeds are a problem you can modify a crop for herbicide resistance, as Monsanto has done, or you can use a combination of unglamorous but effective ground cover, mulching, soil management, rotation, weeding or even use weed crops in other constructive ways.
Or, while you might engineer a crop for added vitamin or mineral content, you could increase crop diversity, use other techniques like varietal selection and breeding for nutrition, or improve the buying power of communities and develop a wider range of locally available, nutritious food.

You'll Get There…Someday.
by admin • November 7, 2011 • * Safe for Work *, Addiction • 0 Comments
Dear You, (you know who you are.)
I know you have a greatness in you. A passion for people and things around you, a love. You are handsome, you are generous, you are pure in your own way. You were in such a bad place when we were together and you tried to treat me as well as you could at the time. I should have known you weren't ready for a relationship… you couldn't even take care of yourself, let alone me.
I was selfish for even letting our romance take place, I knew you weren't really yourself, that's what massive amounts of prescription drugs will do to you. I had always been in love with you… long before you got out of control, so when you called and took me out and started "courting" me I felt like I was back in High School… you know, butterflies and all.
Now I feel more alone than I did before you. It's like you took a piece of me with you to California. You're still not right in the head, I think someday you will be a wonderful man and you'll have a great family, you'll be able to love someone the way they deserve to be loved. I'm just sad it won't be me. I can't believe how crazy you make me, even after all of this, you have a small part of me. Never lose that love you have in your heart, take all of your great ideas and bring them to life. You are wasting away and I know you deserve so much more than that.
Wish things could have worked out…

Dead World: Isolation
[Armor] Heavy Armor
Heavy armor provides superior protection and damage reduction at the cost of mobility and dexterity.
Armor has been used throughout recorded history. It has been made from a variety of materials; from rudimentary leather protection, personal armor evolved to Mail and full plated suits of armor. For much of military history the manufacture of metal armor in Europe has dominated the technology and employment of armor. Armor drove the development of many important technologies of the Ancient World, including wood lamination, mining, metal refining, vehicle manufacture, leather processing, and later decorative metal working. Its production was influential in the industrial revolution, and influenced commercial development of metallurgy and engineering. Armor was the single most influential factor in the development of firearms that revolutionized warfare.


text: I really wasn't planning to fish last night. I got home late from work, had no bait, the river was high & muddy, and I hadn't thought at all about where to fish. When I got home to an empty house, though, I remembered my wife & kids were visiting her parents- so I had my chance. All I could catch at the pond were three tiny bluegills and three big bullheads, not enough to make a night of it, so I had to visit the bait shop. They had some good suckers, but (Oh NO!!) I forgot to hit the ATM and I only had six bucks, enough for seven suckers from six to nine inches. After launching I tried three or four places looking for fish, but the level was high and the current was strong, and I had no luck. Right at dusk, about 9:30, I settled in above a medium size log jam and tossed out a sucker and a bullhead. Ten minutes later the Sheriff pulls alongside, and making no effort to be quiet or avoid disturbing the fishing, insists that I turn on my white stern light. He almost ran over my line & bait bucket, too. Well, right about 10:05, suddenly started the best 45 minutes of catfishing I've ever had. It started with a violent strike on the sucker, a fish that forced me all around the boat during the fight, making the e-glass rod, Garcia 7000, and 80# Power Pro feel like an ultralight. BUT... before I could even grab the brute, the OTHER rod doubles over and starts screaming. All I could do was lip the first one (when I could) and lay her in the bottom of the boat, then grab the second rod. Once landed, the two fish posed for a portrait side by side. I named them Sparky & Don, in honor of the two great guys who towed my gasless boat and spared me the ridicule. Here's where things went awry and I may have momentarily lost my composure. The line from the first rod got stuck in the zipper pull on my jacket, and during the second battle got wound around a few things and had to be cut. After the photos, measuring, weighing, & releasing, I realized (to my great dismay) that I had no baits in the water, so I quick grabbed another sucker, hooked him through the nostrils, eased him over the side, and picked up the rod. One problem. I had just hooked the sucker to the line that had been cut from my zipper pull, and I was holding a rod with nothing hanging off the end but line and the termiinal end was on the river bottom. Sigh... Several frustrated moments later, I finally had baits back in the water, and was fishing again. I barely had time to grab a beverage when I had another fish. Bite after bite, fish after fish it went until I was down to just one bullhead in the bait bucket, a 13 or 14 incher that had to weigh a pound. I hooked him through the back and tossed him out. Only a few minutes later the biggest fish I have ever encountered engulfed him and headed for the snag. I grabbed the rod and reared back, gaining line only for a second until the fish realized it was hooked and surged with enormous strength... and the hook pulled loose. I nearly cried. I know my equipment pretty well, and I can usually guess the weight of a fish within a few pounds by how it feels on the line. I would say my internal scale places that fish in the middle to upper 30's, if not over 40. I quit a little after midnight, with a 22, a 19, a 12, and a few around 8-10 that I didn't weigh. Man, I love catfishing. Here's the pics, that's Sparky on the left. Link 1 Link 2

Is there a solution? There appears to be little choice for many small businesses (those with less than 100 transactions a month). The requirement is for an inexpensive, easy to use, easy to set up and easy to understand bookkeeping template system.

As I left that day I had to muster all the courage I could, to avoid feeling depressed. I shook off the embarrassment of that experience, and continued my foot-solider-marketing (i.e. pavement pounding). And it was a good thing that I did so.

Beauty Haul - Debenhams and Boots
Baked Bronzer - Gilded £20 This bronzer was also tested on my skin and I love how subtle it is. Being a baked bronzer this can be used wet or dry so I'm looking forward to experimenting with it.
24/7 Concealer £12 When this was tried on my skin I was instantly in love. This is the perfect concealer for under eye and is a light shade for brightening.
What's worse for your bank balance than going into Boots? Going in with another beauty blogger! I went for a coffee with Becca from Perfectly Polished Paws and afterwards we went for a wander round Boots. Now I have to say that Becca was naughtier than me, but I did still end up with a few bits in my basket!
Collection Work the Colour Eyeshadow Pencil in Vanilla Sky £3.19 I have another of these pencils in a light pink colour and I really like it. I was using it daily until it wore down and, rather stupidly, I didn't realise you can sharpen them! They sharpen really well and now that I know this, I decided to buy another!
Rimmel Scandaleyes Nude Liner £2.99 I have been meaning to pick this up for a while but either forget or find it out of stock. I'm glad to have it now and look forward to using it to brighten my eyes.
Seventeen Superlash Mascara and Liner £4.99 Becca recommended this to me so I decided to pick it up. The mascara will normally be £6.99 but is on introductory offer and comes with the liner for free! Definitely a bargain and I can't wait to try it.
Boots Essentials Eye Make-up Remover Gel £1.50 This is a repurchase and one I will keep on buying! It does the job, it's gentle on my eyes and it's cheap!
I'm moving house next month and will be tight for bedroom space in my new house. To accommodate my growing makeup collection, I recently purchased the IKEA Alex 9 drawer for my new place! So excited about getting it up!
Have you spent too much money recently?!

Rep. Elise Stefanik, our congresswoman, said nothing.She participated in no debate.
She expressed no concerns.
Her only utterances were to vote four times in the 60-minute meeting of the House Committee on Intelligence last Monday.
The 51-page transcript of that meeting is an extraordinary document where several committee members expressed passionate concern about the politicization of the committee and the harm it could do, and maybe more importantly, that only two members of the committee had even reviewed the "underlying intelligence" on which the memo was based.
Rep. Stefanik's was not one of them.
"It is essentially releasing to the public a book review on a book it has not read," said Rep. Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California.
"I truly believe this is a step too far," said Rep. Jackie Speier, a Democrat from California. "How irresponsible is it for us to vote to make public something that we have not even viewed ourselves. And we are all going to have egg on our face."
It is clear to me that the memo's release has furthered divided our country and weakened our democracy, and not surprisingly made our representatives and their motives more suspect.
Rep. Stefanik is complicit in this.
Others in that meeting seemed to understand that.
Some knew the door they were opening was a bad idea. Sadly, the Republicans on the committee stayed mostly silent.
"When all of this information is made available there will be an accounting for all of us based on what is true," said Rep. Jim Himes, a Democrat from Connecticut. "If it turns out that the majority memo is wrong, there will be hell to pay. If it turns out that the minority memo is wrong, there will be hell to pay. And right now there are two people sitting here who have any sense at all over whether it is right or wrong."
"And so I guess there is no way around politicizing this," said Rep. Teri Sewell of Alabama. "It just reeks and smacks of politics. And if that is really where we have come, then it is a sad day to be on this committee. and I never thought I would say that, since I thought this committee was the committee that really took serious our national security and people put their own views and their own party's interests aside and tried to do what is in the best interests of all of us."
When I reached out to Rep. Stefanik's office, I was told she voted to release the memo because she "Is a strong proponent of transparency," despite the fact she voted against releasing the Democratic response at the same time as the Republican memo. I was also told she "believes the public has a right to know about potential FISA abuses."
When I asked if Rep Stefanik had read the underlying evidence the memo is based on, Tom Flanagan, Stefanik's senior adviser and communications director, wrote, "Again, no one, including the FBI, has identified factual errors."
I also asked him if Rep Stefanik had 100 percent confidence in the memo, and while he did not answer that question directly, he did write that she participated in weekly briefs on the results of these investigative efforts.
In response to the release of the memo, Sen. John McCain had this to say:
"The latest attacks on the FBI and the Department of Justice serve no American interests, no party's, no presidents, only Putin's," Sen. McCain wrote in a statement. "Our nation's elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin's job for him."
Rep. Stefanik had every opportunity during the 60-minute meeting of the House Committee on Intelligence to voice her concerns about the politicization of the committee's work. Instead, she remained silent.
And when her name was called on whether to release the Republican memo to the public, she responded, "Aye."

Facts about Bulldogs
Posted by gracelydia51 in Dogs on May 18, 2012
In past few years, bulldogs have become one of the most popular show dogs. They are greatly loved for their charming temperament and friendly nature. They originated in the British Isles, and thus also known as British or English Bulldogs. However, in past, they were often known as guard dogs.
The intention behind breeding the very first bulldogs is to produce fierce fighters with a daring personality. However, when the fighting became illegal, the bulldogs were soon lovers. Today, bulldogs are known as calm and kind family pets. They walk confidently and gracefully, can participate in obedience, agility, rally and flyball competitions. Some of them even play a role of active therapy dogs, and visit sick or disabled people.
A bulldog is a medium-sized dog. Although these dogs look small however they weigh more than you think. The average weight of males is about 50 pounds, whereas the average weight of females is about 40 pounds. An average height of a bulldog can range from 12 to 16 inches.
The physical appearance of the bulldogs is very interesting. They have very short bodies, wide shoulders, and thick and strong legs. Their coat is short and lies flat, whereas the hair is fine and very smooth. They have soft, loose skin around their head, neck, and shoulders. They have a short tail.
Bulldogs come in a number of colors, which are as follows:
- Piebald bulldogs have irregular patches of two different colors.
- Red brindle and brindle bulldogs are a tawny or brownish color with streaks of another color.
- Solid colored bulldogs can be all light brown, all fawn, all red, or all white.
In order to keep a bulldog clean, bathing is recommended. His wrinkles particularly require cleaning quite often. Although his hair is short, however he will shed. Therefore, they need to be brushed infrequently. Moreover, brushing makes the dogs feel good, and aids in keeping his skin health and shiny.
Facts about Russian Blue Cat
Posted by gracelydia51 in Cats on April 24, 2012
The Russian Blue Cat (also known as Archangel Blue Cat) is believed to have originated from the port town of Arkhangelsk in Russia. In 1800s, it was brought to the UK and has been domestically bred since then.
The Russian Blue Cat is famous for its silver-blue coat that shows off its wiry frame and complements its vibrant, dark green eyes. It has a long, slim body with short fur, and its coat is known as "double coat" as it has a soft, velvety undercoat that helps in providing the cat with an additional insulation in the extreme northern winters. The topcoat fur (even if sometimes a soft black in color) can be a real shade of blue with silver tips, giving the cat an iridescent look.
These cats are recognized as highly intelligent and playful; however, they are really shy around strangers. Moreover, they are quite easy to train and are well known for developing close bonds with their owners.
Since the saliva and sebum of Russian Blue Cats contain less of a certain protein than many other cats, they are among the hypoallergenic breeds of cats.
The purebred Russian Blue Cat does not have any white markings on its body, however in rare cases, a 'locket' of white fur can be found on its throat, which is considered as an extremely negative feature in cat shows. Another prominent feature of a purebred Russian Blue Cat is the positioning of its ears on its head, which are usually attached to the head at a rakish angle.
Russian Blue Cats are popular due to their calm and loving nature. In addition, they are one of the few domestic breeds that are not prone to illness or carry genetic defaults.
Persian Cat Care – Grooming
Posted by gracelydia51 in Cats on April 10, 2012
Persian cats are longhaired cat breeds and require regular grooming, particularly if your pet cat is allowed free-wander. Unlike shorter hair cats, its grooming can be difficult. This is because these cats have thick coat along with an undercoat, which feels like there are two coats instead of one. Therefore, these cats need regular grooming in order to stay clean, healthy and happy. Moreover, grooming is an ideal time to shower your pet cat with love and affection.
The grooming is of great importance to keep your Persian cat clean, happy, healthy, and comfortable. Some of the major advantages of grooming are as follows:
- Brushing and bathing removes unwanted dust, grit, dirt and loose hair as well as lifts dead skin cell flakes.
- Daily brushing increases blood circulation, hence improving muscle tone and invigorating healthy new hair growth.
- Brushing separates each hair, making your cat's wonderful coat even fuller and fluffier.
- Brushing removes excess hair, reducing the ingestion of hair during self-grooming. This will reduce cat fur balls.
- Regular grooming reduces shedding, which means less cat fur around the house, making it easier for those humans who are vulnerable to allergies to cope.
- A neglected coat can be easily tangled, matted, and knotted, making it a perfect breeding spot for parasites.
- Grooming is a perfect time to examine your Persian for possible ticks, lice, mites, or symptoms of any other minor skin, eyes, ears and mouth diseases.
Brushing with a fine wire brush on a daily basis is suggested in order to prevent matting of the fur, forming of knots, and shedding of hair. Claw trimming is also an important part of cat grooming, and should not be neglected.
Although, it highly depends on the nature of your Persian cat, however, a large number of cats enjoy getting brushed and groomed. It is better to start grooming routine as kitten so that it can get used to it.
Remember that you should never wake your cat from sleep or try to groom it when it is asleep. Moreover, postpone the grooming session until later if your cat become stressed and irritated during the session.
Chinchilla Care
Posted by gracelydia51 in Chinchillas, Small Pets on April 1, 2012
Chinchillas are among the affable animals that require proper care. They need to be handled with great care and gentleness as they are very delicate and frail. Here are some tips that can help you in handling and taking care of your pet chinchillas.
- When lifting your chinchilla, it is important to do it gently. First, slide your hand under its belly and put your other hand on top of the chinchilla. Make it feel secure by using the hand under the chin to hold its hind legs and bum. Never hold your pet too tightly however keep in mind that they can be fidgety, therefore hold them firmly. Remember never squeeze them particularly around the upper chest. This is because they have a 'floating ribcage' and your careless handling can result in severe internal injuries to your pet chinchilla.
- Generally, using no soap or chemicals is advised. However, you can mix a small quantity of bleach with the hot water and swish it around the cage's plastic pan and then clean it thoroughly with hot water and then let it air dry. This is a good way to kill most of the bacteria that can be harmful for your pet.
- Give your pet a dust bath for 10 to 15 minutes anywhere from daily to twice a week. Remember excessive dust bathing will result in dryness, whereas scanty will result in building up of oils in their coats, resulting in a disfiguring and deadly fungus to grow on their skin.
- Since chinchillas are extremely active animals, therefore they require proper opportunity to exercise every day. For this, provide them an exercise wheel that has a solid surface and is not made of wire or mesh, which can entangle their feet. When letting your chinchillas out of the cage for supervised play time, it must be in a small, chinchilla proof room. This is important because chinchillas can jump many feet in the air and can easily squeeze through little spaces. They can also gnaw on furniture, wires, and anything they can get their teeth on.
- In order to maintain their dental health, give them something to chew on. Since their teeth can grow up to 12 inches per year, it is suggested to buy a special block of wood or pumice stone for your pet to chew on.
- Since chinchillas overheat easily, therefore keep them cool. They cannot live temperatures over 75 Fahrenheit or below 50 Fahrenheit. It is recommended to keep their cage in a cool room with proper air circulation.
Facts about Pet Rats
Posted by gracelydia51 in Rats, Small Pets on March 19, 2012
Pet rats are also known as "Fancy Rats". These are domesticated brown rats that come in a wide variety of colors and coat types. These pets are usually sold in pet stores and by rat breeders. They have some of the most interesting quirks and histories as well as interesting facts that you will surely want to know.
If you have or want to have a rat as pet then you will surely find the following facts about rats interesting and exciting.
- Rats have quite poor vision as well as they do not see in color.
- Rats usually want to have cage mates; therefore, female or male rats can be kept together in a cage.
- Generally, male rats are better 'lap' pets as compared to female rats. This is because male rats prefer to sit and have their ears scratched by a human, whereas female rats love to explore and play games and are very curious.
- Rats like to eat chocolate.
- Since rats are omnivorous animals, therefore, they can eat smaller pets, including birds, fish and even smaller rodents.
- Rats do not have canine teeth and thumbs.
- Red discharge from a rat's nose or eyes is mostly not blood, but porphyrin. It is fluorescent under UV light. However, overproduction of porphyrin can be caused by stress or illness.
- A group of rats is called a mischief.
