WASHINGTON — President Obama called this week's botched execution in Oklahoma "deeply troubling" and said it should spur a larger conversation on the death penalty in the USA.
Clayton Lockett, 38, struggled violently, groaned and writhed after lethal drugs were administered by Oklahoma officials Tuesday night, according to eyewitness accounts.
State Corrections Director Robert Patton halted the execution, citing vein failure that may have prevented the deadly chemicals from reaching Lockett. He eventually died of a heart attack.
"What happened in Oklahoma was deeply troubling," said Obama, who made his first comments on the incident at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday.
Obama reaffirmed his long-held view that there are certain crimes that are so heinous that the death penalty is an appropriate punishment. He reiterated his concerns that in the application of the death penalty in the United States there has been evidence of racial bias. He also noted his dismay at the number of incidents where men and women have been sentenced to death only later to be found innocent.
"The situation in Oklahoma I think just highlights some of significant problems there," Obama said. "I'll be discussing with (Attorney General Eric) Holder and others to get me an analysis of what steps have been taken, not just in this particular instance but more broadly in this area."
He added, "I think we do have to as a society ask ourselves some difficult and profound questions around these issues."

Netflix Ready to Tame Wall Street Skeptics
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It used to be that when Netflix
On Monday, Netflix lost out to Universal on a content deal with HBO. However, unlike when the streaming subscription video service didn't extend exclusivity deals with Starz and Epix, the shares didn't fall.
In fact, Netflix posted strong gains in Monday trading that put the company's shares near $100, or its highest levels since early 2012, when content costs and subscriber growth reemerged as a red flag for investors.
So what gives?
Investors may be wising up to how Netflix is going to profitably offer content that can compete with far more expensive cable and satellite subscriptions. Meanwhile, after activists like Carl Icahn have bought up Netflix shares , the company may be entering a new phase of discretion when it comes to paying for streaming content.
Notably, after signing an exclusive content agreement with Disney
While Netflix lost out to Universal on the rights to HBO content, it was able to quietly improve the streaming portfolio offered to subscribers by way of a less hyped exclusive deal with Time Warner
"Netflix continues to bring viewers the best content portfolio, and today's announcement only serves to reinforce that," wrote Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt, in a Monday note to clients that reiterated the firm's 'overweight' rating.
"With the addition of eight well-known / highly-anticipated serialized dramas on their way to Netflix users' TVs, the company has better positioned itself relative to both Amazon Prime Instant Video and Hulu," notes Devitt. "Additionally, the Warner Bros. serialized TV content may bring new subscribers and reduce churn among existing customers, especially given its exclusivity," the analyst concludes.
In the wake of Netflix's early December deal with Disney, chief content officer Ted Sarandos said at the UBS Global Media Conference that Netflix would focus its efforts on exclusive content deals, and that it would show discretion in only paying up for top programming such as Disney movies or AMC television shows.
At the conference, Harvey Weinstein, the co-founder of Miramax Films and current co-chair of The Weinstein Company poked fun at flighty Wall Street investors for selling shares when Neftlix didn't renew with Starz, only to see them surge in the wake of a far more groundbreaking Disney deal.

Oral herpes is an infection of the lips, mouth, or gums due to the herpes simplex virus. It causes small, painful blisters commonly called cold sores or fever blisters. Oral herpes is also called herpes labialis.
Cold sore; Fever blister; Oral herpes simplex; Herpes labialis; Herpes simplex
Oral herpes is a common infection of the mouth area. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Most people in the United States are infected with this virus by age 20.
After the first infection, the virus goes to sleep (becomes dormant) in the nerve tissues in the face. Sometimes, the virus later "wakes up" (reactivates), causing cold sores.
Herpes virus type 2 (HSV-2) usually causes genital herpes. However, sometimes HSV-2 is spread to the mouth during oral sex, causing oral herpes.
Herpes viruses spread easily. You can catch this virus if you:
Parents may spread the virus to their children during regular daily activities.
Some people get mouth ulcers when they first come into contact with HSV-1 virus. Others have no symptoms. Symptoms usually occur in kids between 1 and 5 years old.
Symptoms may be mild or severe.
They usually appear within 1-3 weeks after you come into contact with the virus. They may last up to 3 weeks.
Warning symptoms include:
Before blisters appear, you may have:
Blisters or a rash may form on your:
Many blisters are called an "outbreak." You may have:
Symptoms may be triggered by:
If the symptoms return later, they are usually more mild.
Your doctor or nurse can diagnose oral herpes by looking at your mouth area. Sometimes, a sample of the sore is taken and sent to a laboratory for closer examination. Tests may include:
Symptoms may go away on their own without treatment in 1 to 2 weeks.
Your health care provider can prescribe medicines to fight the virus. This is called antiviral medicine. It can help reduce pain and make your symptoms go away sooner. Medicines used to treat mouth sores include:
These medicines work best if you take them when you have warning signs of a mouth sore, before any blisters develop. If you get mouth sores frequently, you may need to take these medicines all the time.
Antiviral skin creams may also be used. However, they are expensive and often only shorten the outbreak by a few hours to a day.
The following steps can also help make you feel better:
Oral herpes usually goes away by itself in 1 to 2 weeks. However, it may come back.
Herpes infection may be severe and dangerous if:
Herpes infection of the eye is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. It causes scarring of the cornea.
Other complications of oral herpes may include:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have :
Here are some tips to prevent mouth sores:
Do not have oral sex if you have oral herpes, especially if you have blisters. You can spread the virus to the genitals. Both oral and genital herpes viruses can sometimes be spread even when you do not have mouth sores or blisters.

Uraniuma naturally occurring radioactive elementis used in nuclear weapons, as well as in fuel for nuclear power plants. In the United States, 20 percent of the nations electricity comes from nuclear power, and growing anxiety over climate change generated by ever-growing demand for fossil fuels has sparked interest in increasing the use of nuclear power, despite ongoing concerns about safety in light of the March 2011 nuclear accident in Japan. A healthy domestic uranium industry is considered essential to ensuring that commercial nuclear power remains a reliable option for supporting the nations energy needs.
The Department of Energy (Energy) maintains large inventories of uranium that it no longer requires for nuclear weapons or fuel for naval nuclear propulsion reactors. A large portion of Energys inventories consists of depleted uranium hexafluoride, otherwise known as tails a byproduct of the uranium enrichment process. Although once considered an environmental liability, recent increases in uranium prices could transform these tails into a lucrative source of revenue for the government. Hundreds of thousands of metric tons of tails are stored at Energys uranium enrichment plants in Portsmouth, Ohio, and Paducah, Kentucky.
In addition to tails, Energy maintains thousands of tons of natural uranium, which likewise could be sold to utilities or others for additional revenue. For example, since December 2009, Energy has used some of this uranium to pay for environmental cleanup work at its Portsmouth uranium enrichment plant.
The Energy uranium inventories are worth potentially billions of dollars to commercial nuclear power plants that can use the material as fuel in their reactors.
With regard to the Energy depleted uranium tails, as GAO reported in March and April 2008 and again in June 2011, under certain conditions, pursuing the following options could generate significant revenue:
With regard to Energys inventories of natural uranium, as GAO reported in March and April 2008 and again in June 2011, the department has the general legal authority to sell this material; and in September 2011, GAO reported that in seven transactions executed since 2009, Energy has, in effect, sold nearly 1,900 metric tons of natural uranium into the market, using its contractor as a sales agent, receiving from $109 to $183 per kilogram. The total proceeds from these transactions funded over $250 million in environmental cleanup services by that contractor at the Portsmouth uranium enrichment plant. Although Energy characterized these sales as barter transactions exchanges of services (environmental cleanup work) for materials (uranium)GAOs review showed that they were sales of natural uranium through a sales agent. While Energy received no cash from the transactions, it allowed USEC, Inc. to keep cash from the sales. Energy thus violated the miscellaneous receipts statute, which requires an official or agent of the government receiving money for the government from any source to deposit the money in the U.S. Treasury. Executed in accordance with federal law, however, future sales of natural uranium by Energy could generate additional revenue for the government.
Ultimately, the extent to which sales of Energys uranium inventories would generate financial benefits for the government depends on several factors:
As GAO reported in June 2011, the potential value of Energys tails is currently substantial, but changing market conditions could greatly affect the tails value over time. GAO estimated the value of the tails at $4.2 billion based on May 2011 uranium prices and enrichment costs and assuming sufficient re-enrichment capacity was available.
In Energys 2008 uranium management plan, the department summarized its intent to sell or transfer uranium to the commercial market through 2017, including plans to re-enrich and sell depleted uranium tails. But because DOE has decided to use uranium to fund environmental cleanup at the Portsmouth site, more uranium has been released into the market than articulated in the 2008 plan. As a result, Energy tabled plans to also sell uranium tails, because doing so would violate the commitment the department made to domestic uranium producers to limit the amount of uranium Energy sells in a given year.
Even in the absence of such a commitment, however, legal obstacles to the pursuit of certain options for its uranium tails and natural uranium exist. GAO previously found that Energy lacked the necessary legal authority to pursue potential options for its tails and natural uranium and that the following congressional action may be needed. Specifically
GAO recommended in March 2008 that Congress may wish to
GAO recommended in September 2011 that if Congress sees merit in using the proceeds from the barter, transfer, or sale of federal uranium assets to pay for environmental cleanup of uranium enrichment plants, it could consider
Congress has taken some actions in response to GAOs work. For example, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, among other things, requires the Secretary of Energy to report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees not less than 30 days prior to the transfer, sale, barter, distribution, or other provision of uranium in any form specific details on the transactions, including the amounts of uranium to be provided and an estimate of the uranium value along with the expected recipient of the material. The act also requires the Secretary to submit a report evaluating the economic feasibility of re-enriching depleted uranium.
The information contained in this analysis is based on findings from the products listed the related GAO products section. These reports reviewed Energys management of its uranium inventories and the departments transactions using its uranium to pay for environmental cleanup and other services. GAO reviewed Energy documents detailing the transactions the department has engaged in involving its uranium, assessments of the value of uranium in each transaction, and analyses of the impact of DOEs activities on the uranium market.
GAO provided a draft of its September 2011 report to Energy. Energy provided written comments that stated that because it did not receive money for the uranium it used to pay for environmental cleanup work, it did not violate the miscellaneous receipts statute. However, GAO and the courts have found in a number of instances that an entity does not have to receive actual cash to trigger a responsibility to deposit money into the U.S. Treasury. Energy also disagreed with GAOs estimate of the value of Energys depleted uranium tails, stating that it did not include additional costs that may be incurred processing tails including, among other things, the costs of re-enriching the tails and packaging and transporting the material. The estimate does include the costs of re-enriching the tails, but it does not include some other costs, including packaging and transportation, because those costs are unknown. Furthermore, as GAOs March and April 2008, June 2011, and September 2011 reports noted, GAOs estimate is very sensitive to changing uranium prices, as well as to the availability of sufficient enrichment capacity. Uranium prices are volatile, and a sharp rise or fall can greatly affect the value of the tails. Any estimates of the value of the Energy tails are therefore subject to great uncertainty. As part of its routine audit work, GAO will track agency actions to address its recommendations and report to Congress.

Experience Nature
The planet Pandora in the movie "Avatar" is renowned for its natural beauty, which is why this site is called Great Pandora – wordplay on The Great Outdoors.
We love the outdoors and want to encourage other people to experience and enjoy it as well, hence the site. We look at various ways to enjoy nature, something to suit everybody.
Go Take A Hike – And Get Medicine From Mother Nature
These days everybody is busy and stressed out. We've got too much to do and too little time to get it done. The next time an afternoon opens up on your schedule, make an appointment to go hiking. Getting in touch with Mother Nature can be more medicinal than you realize.
Stress Relief
Unfortunately, most of us have too much stress in our lives. That can actually be a very dangerous thing to your body and mind. The simple act of getting away from work, town and noise can do you a world of good all by itself. Add the pleasures of plotting a course through solitary woods and the sheer joy of having a few minutes or more to call your own and you've got an instant recipe for much needed stress relief.
Easing Tension With Exercise
Our bodies get tired of being cramped up in economy cars and stuffed behind a desk. Unravel with a peaceful yet challenging walk through the woods. Walking is one of the most beneficial activities, without being high-impact to potentially make you sore. Tie on a good pair of shoes and choose a path that is suitable for your current level of physical fitness. Don't over do it, just harmonize your personal abilities with the inclines and obstacles and enjoy letting go of tension.
Art Therapy
There's a reason Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is such a beloved painting. He, along with many other artists, capture nature in such a perfect sense that we can't take our eyes off their works. Why not see the inspirations for yourself in person? See the stars at dusk on a mountain top or watch the way light dances off the lake in a canyon. Hiking can take you to the same places as the famous paintings and really soothe your soul at the same time.
Hiking does a lot more than work your calf muscles for a few hours: it can really clear your head and put you back in control. When life starts getting away from you with all the stress and responsibilities you're forced to handle, take a break and take a hike. The benefits are extraordinary and can easily carry you through the next few months of chaos, tension and working late, or whatever else life throws your way.
Here is a good resource on hiking
What Being A Responsible Hunter Means Or Should Mean To You
When it comes to hunting, you don't just randomly shoot at a target and hope to God your target dies a quick death. If you're going to become a hunter, you need to be a responsible one. But what does being a responsible hunter means?
It means a lot of things, but perhaps the one that holds the deepest meaning is to go back to the basics. In the past, people didn't just hunt for the sake of hunting. They hunted because they had to feed themselves. They didn't hunt just because it was fun. That said, if you successfully shot a target, make sure you eat it. Otherwise your killing would just be wanton.
Being a responsible hunter also means you not breaking hunting laws in your own state, no matter how tempting it is to break them. The law is there for a reason and it must be followed to the letter.
When it comes to the actual hunting, it's either you kill the animal then and there, or you let it escape. In other words, you should be 100% sure about the outcome before you even pull the trigger. Wounding an animal is worse than killing it.
Safety is also another hallmark of responsible hunting. Safety means you knowing how to safely handle guns and store it safely in a reliable gun safe.
Last but not the least, being a responsible hunter means actively participating in environmental conservation efforts, from supporting local projects to lobbying with legislators about the preservation of habitats.
As you can see from above, being a responsible hunter doesn't just involve shoot and play. You need to have a profound respect for the animals and their environment. We think this is what separates responsible hunters from wild-eyed hunters for kill just for the fun of it.
Crossbow Hunting For A Different Challenge
Since the crossbow became approved as a hunting weapon a few years back, there's been a big surge of crossbow makers who want to cash in on the curiosity and thrill of hunting deer and animals with a crossbow
Out in the market you will see many brands of affordable crossbows vying for your attention. Some of the most well-known brands are Barnett, Crosman, Darton, Excalibur, Horton, and TenPoint, among others. The price points for these crossbows range anywhere from $250 to $800.
You might think that buying a crossbow is a daunting task especially for newbies, however, there are ways to find out if a crossbow is right for you. Read reviews on crossbows and watch Youtube videos on specific brands and models of crossbows.
There are really just three factors that should go into your buying decision: ease of use, power and range.
The easiest part about using a crossbow is shooting a target. What is difficult is loading the arrows to the bridge. There are crossbows that require manly strength in order for the string to be pulled back.
Power is also another consideration. Responsible hunting requires 100% certainty of an outcome. When you shoot, you need to make sure that the animal dies instantly and does not suffer from injuries because of a lousy shot. Aim to buy crossbows that have a lot of shooting power, you know, the ones that can shoot through a metal backdoor.
Part of the excitement of hunting is being able to shoot a moving target at a distance. Like power, when it comes to distance, not all crossbows are created alike, and there models that are best for shooting at close-range and there are those that are perfect for shooting at a distance.
Appreciate Nature While Camping
Most people love being in a natural setting and enjoy the peace and quiet that a camping get-a-way provides. However, it is important to be well prepared for your camping trip if you want to have some measure of physical comfort. You can find a comprehensive guide on camping here.
There is no joy in waking up feeling stiff and tired after a night of trying to sleep on the ground without enough cushioning underneath. While children seem not to notice the discomfort very much, adults have a harder time of it. If you want to make camping your favorite week-end or vacation activity, it is wise to gather some high quality gear so you can just enjoy the experience. Although some people prefer to sleep in the open without a tent, there are considerable benefits in protecting yourself from the night time dew or a possible rain shower. A simple pup tent will do for one or two people, but a family group may prefer a larger shelter.
A good sleeping bag is next on the list of necessary items, and it pays to pay a little more to get good quality. Include a high density foam pad in your bedding to place under your sleeping bag. Nights are sometimes a little chilly and sleeping on the cold ground offers little comfort.
Camping is a better experience with a good supply of food. If the campground allows a fire, this is a great way to cook food, roast some marshmallows and provide a little extra warmth at night. Make sure to extinguish the fire completely before you leave the site to prevent accidental fires. A camp stove is an alternate way to do a little cooking, and you can quickly perk a pot of coffee in the morning without needing to get your fire started.

This Super Bowl is looking kind of scripted to me so far.
Seen Manning like this in a few playoffs. Get the guy moving in the pocket, running for his life even, and he ain't the same QB on Sundays. He simply HATES getting hit, and he has been getting harassed relentlessly.
The difference; SEA defense knows how to tackle. Denver YAC has to be at a season low right now.
HOLY Crap!!!! I just turned it on and WOW!!!!!
I really want denver to lose since I live in this manning love fest zone.
Steel City Mafia
So Cal Boss (Ret)
My son's first Kansas Turkey!
Pressure makes the best QB's look average...
See this game, the Giants vs. NE and us vs. Manning in the playoffs.

Lincoln County honors engineer Amundson
IVANHOE?- The Lincoln County Board honored retiring County Engineer Lee Amundson with a farewell lunch on Tuesday. Highway Department Office Manager Robin Sterzinger read a letter from the Minnesota County Engineers Association proclaiming May 21 as "Lee Amundson Day."
Amundson has worked for Lincoln County for eight years and previously worked as county engineer in Mahnomen, Traverse, Stevens, Steele and Lincoln counties for a total of 34 years.
On Amundson's recommendation, the board appointed engineer's assistant Dustin Hauschild as acting engineer.
In other business the board approved a request for $13,550 from Curt Madsen representing the Lincoln County Fair Board for extensive modification of the electrical facilities at the fairgrounds.
According to Madsen, the single transformer at the fairgrounds failed last year during the fair. The fair board proposes to split the fairground into two sections, each served by a single transformer.
The motion passed with Don Evers, who is also a member of the fair board, abstaining.
The board heard an appeal from Bob Schiller representing Ready Watt Electric of a decision by the board to award a contract to install warning sirens to a local firm, Tyler Electric.
Schiller argued that although Ready Watt's bid was much higher, its bid was submitted by the due date April 12. Schiller also argued Tyler Electric had less experience installing sirens and its bid was unrealistically low, citing issues of the depth of the support poles and working with ground water.
County Emergency Manager Jeanna Sommers said because the contract was for less than $100,000, the county was not legally obliged to use the sealed bid process, which was confirmed by County Attorney Glen Peterson.
Sommers said Tyler Electric submitted its bid after examining the sites the sirens will be installed on.
The board upheld the decision to award the contract to Tyler Electric.
On Sommers' recommendation, the board approved a $57,000 five-year service agreement with Frontier Line for the backup radio line in the ARMER emergency radio system.
On the recommendation of Environmental Director Robert Olsen, the board unanimously approved a conditional use permit for Park Farms for expansion and construction of a dairy feedlot.
Vince Robinson, director of the county Economic Development Association, presented the board with the results of studies by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture on the economic impact of the dairy industry, and said the Park Farms expansion could have an economic impact of as much as $27 million per year in the county.
The board voted on Olsen's recommendation to go ahead with the purchase of a lot in Verdi Township to locate recycling sheds for $1,100, even though the present owner has a judgement against him for about that amount. Olsen said the time to enforce the judgement would expire in five years, and the county would recoup its investment in the lot in two years.
Olsen also told the county a second sampling of Lake Benton produced only minimal evidence of the invasive species curly leaf pondweed, which in the past has been a nuisance on the lake requiring expensive treatment.

Research Summary
The broad goal of my laboratory is to understand how information is processed by the central nervous system (CNS) at the level of specific cell types and circuits. As our model system, we work on the mammalian retina. The retina has a clear role in behavior, and many of its cell types and circuits are well defined. Furthermore, retina is one area of the CNS that can be studied in vitro while presenting the natural stimulus it was designed to encode.
We study functional circuitry by whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology of identified retinal cell types, labeled with fluorescent markers (transgenic and viral approaches) and visualized in living tissue (2-photon microscopy). We perform quantitative analysis of cellular morphology and synaptic connections (confocal microscopy); and functional properties of light-evoked responses (computational modeling). We are also studying neurotransmitter release by direct imaging of fluorescent sensors, including the glutamate biosensor intensity-based glutamate-sensing fluorescent reporter (iGluSnFR).
Our immediate goals are to define and characterize novel interneuron pathways in the mouse retina using optogenetic, electrophysiology and inactivation methods. We are also studying the cellular mechanisms that underlie contrast adaptation in retinal circuitry. We will also apply our methods to reveal synaptic dysfunction in mouse models of eye disease.
Extensive Research Description
Current projects include: optogenetic techniques to define new interneuron circuits in the retina; optical imaging of neurotransmitter release in retinal circuitry; elucidating the role of NMDA receptors in visual processing; cellular basis of visual adaptation; mechanisms of retinal disease.

British MP Storming Out: 'I Don't Debate with Israelis' (Video)
Latest update: October 15th, 2013
George Galloway, the British member of Parliament who represents the district of West Bradford in Northern England, stormed out of the room at Oxford University last night in the middle of a debate when he learned that his opponent – a student who had just begun speaking – was Israeli.
The topic being debated at Oxford's Christ Church College was: "Israel Should Withdraw Immediately From the West Bank."
Galloway had already spoken in favor of the motion when the student who opposed the motion, Eylon Aslan-Levy, began to speak. Aslan-Levy made it clear that his disagreement with the motion was not the question of withdrawal, as he favors an "end to the Occupation."
But what Aslan-Levy pointed out was the critical word in the debate topic, "whether Israel should withdraw immediately. Overnight. Unilaterally. Without any guarantees from the Palestinians to match such dramatic concessions by calling an end to this century-old conflict."
The student went on to explain how everyone should have learned a lesson from the Disengagement – the unilateral withdrawal of all Israelis, living and dead, from Gaza in 2005 – which Aslan-Levy said he supported at the time. He explained why:
An immediate withdrawal denies Israelis and Palestinians the two essential goods that a peace treaty would secure: firstly, a framework for safety, security and cooperation; secondly, binding promises by each party to irrevocably terminate all claims or states of belligerency against the other. To forego the one chance to sign for peace on the dotted line would leave the region vulnerable, insecure, and in a perpetual state of war.
This is the lesson from the disengagement from Gaza in 2005, which I supported – out of the same misguided faith that the cards were in Israel's hands. Israel uprooted over 8,000 settlers and evacuated the military – but without a pledge from the Palestinians not to fire rockets at Israeli towns over the very border to which Israel had just withdrawn. We wanted peace: we got war. We mustn't make the same mistake again.
As the student uttered those words, Galloway shouted out: "You said we! Are you Israeli?"
When Aslan-Levy said he was, Galloway responded, "I've been misled, sorry. I don't recognize Israel and I don't debate with Israelis," and then flounced out of the room, followed by his wife.
The video of the end of the exchange shows a mixed reaction by students who were in the audience – some laughing, some clapping – it is unclear if they were clapping because Galloway stuck to his "principles" or because Aslan-Levy maintained his composure.
Galloway defended his actions in a Facebook posting: "I refused this evening at Oxford University to debate with an Israeli, a supporter of the Apartheid state of Israel. The reason is simple: no recognition, no normalisation. Just boycott, divestment and sanctions, until the apartheid state is defeated. I never debate with Israelis nor speak to their media. If they want to speak about Palestine – the address is the PLO." More than 3500 "liked" his post and over 1500 posted comments, many of them vilely anti-Semitic.
Galloway later added on his Twitter feed, "Christ Church never informed us the debate would be with an Israeli. Simple."
Yes, simple. A member of the British government refused to appear with someone because of their nationality. Aslan-Levy called Galloway's action racist and unacceptable.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, the Israeli-British student said Galloway should be barred from the House of Commons. "He clearly had a problem not because I am Israeli – I'm sure he would have talked to an Israeli Arab, he didn't want to talk to me because I am an Israeli Jew," Aslan-Levy said.
Galloway has long been a rabid opponent of the Jewish State. He claims Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization and has publicly met with Hamas leaders. He also was an organizer of the "Viva Palestina" "aid convey" to Gaza in 2009.
The head of the Oxford Debating Society, in his understated British way, expressed disappointment that Galloway stormed out of the debate.
Galloway had been a member of the British Labour Party, but was expelled in 2003 when he was found guilty of "bringing the party into disrepute" for, among other things, referring to the Labour Party as "Tony Blair's Lie Machine."Lori Lowenthal Marcus

Gallowboy's cowardice and Anti-Semitism is vile, as his whole personna is vile. An ugly, pasty pansy boy who thought it made him look cool to his muslim groupies…too bad we don't have a new Kahane…gallow would be running all right..
The hysterical man should be sent to a prayer session to be exorcised from his evil-spirited disposition rather than to any Parliament session.
Mossad should pay this psychopath a visit… if you catch my drift. Make it look like autoerotic asphyxiation.

Is "pansy" supposed to mean "gay?" Are you are a bigot? Yes, you are.
One of the tragedies of the current international economic meltdown is it brings out the worst in people. For those in Europe, it's a stunning reminder that they have learned nothing of the past. "Blame the Jews"was the mantra in 1930's and 1940's Europe and it produced horrid results. People like Mr.Galloway are tragic examples that they have learned nothing from the past. What would be far more productive is to get all fellow countrymen together Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and everyone else together to work on a common problem, in this case the economy, in order to come up with viable solutions. By doing this it will help solve a problem, improve peoples lives, increase prosperity, and ultimately return to a better standard of living. More importantly, it will show Jewish people don't have horns on their head or didn't drink the blood of Jesus, they are regular people who struggle just like everybody else. In addition, it will show Jews can be a source of solving problems and are not not the cause of problems. I will be writing Mr.Galloway and his letter will not be quite as diplomatic as this one.
Gallowboy was out witted and he knew it. Shallow solipsistic people always run when confronted with a mirror of themselves. Hurrah for Israel.
Michael D Blum Why is it a comment always becomes "biggoted or racist". If you can't handle comments try another channel. Nanette was only making a comment, she probably wouldn't correlate "pansy" with "gay"…takes a biggot to try that.
"He clearly had a problem not because I am Israeli – I'm sure he would have talked to an Israeli Arab, he didn't want to talk to me because I am an Israeli Jew,".
That about sums it up.
Obviously he envisioned himself loosing the debate, no politician would EVER walk away from a debate they expected to win.
Galloway proved how totally incompetent he is. Glad he does not live in my country. I would personally debate him back to under the rock he crawled out from under.
pansy only means a man with no "cojones"…i am not against you Michael and I did NOT mean gay….I meant: with no COJONES.
Christy: thank you and if you think about it, Michael doesn't seem to mind at all that Galloway hates Jews….he is probably a lover of Galloway….no matter…Thank you, Christy.
GGalloway is a smart and independant men.Talking to a land grabber is like talking to a looter, Criminal or a terorist.Just because some idiot Arabs recognised that entity it has put the rest of us in front of the fait accompli and changed all the realities on the ground geographical or historical.The entity appartheid became a state and the historical palestine was wipped of the map.So when somebody outspoken like Galloway sit with this terorist it is like safocating the cause of Palestine -which belong to Jewish, Christian and Muslims-and giving oxygen to a zionist.No one has the right to negotiate on behalf of the palestinians and the eastern european Jewish Russians or else have to negotiate with the Palestians including Jewish and Christians.And frankly the Guy is British and he does not sound middleeastern. Wake up people.
You look Chineese or philipino to me lady and not from the M.E…
Is jesus white or Dark ? I`m sure you do not know the answer because you have been brainwashed and indoctrinised.Jesus enemies are sitting right now in jerusalem and you are helpping them with your begot and ignorance…
You must be dreaming lady ! G Galloway is a very smart man he can sense the conn from affar.He was set up by the School but he tuned the table arround.GG is very famous but that guy is no one.
Mr. Galloway's policy is simply this "I only debate with people who agree with me, that way I am always right".
Yeah, least resistance, no hustle. 😀

I like them but eaten just dry as a snack, they do give me gas. I will try smaller dose for snacking, and cook them into a tea to drink also. I could add some fresh ginger root to aid digestion
Pleasantly surprised

i actually thought i was ordering goji berry powder and was pleasantly surprised to see that they blended up in my morning smoothie pretty well. Would have liked them to be a little softer, but i probably have to soak them for that.

These goji-berries are tasty and the bag is BIG!
A bit dry!

These are not as tasty as Heaven Mountain, which are super yum and good for snacking, but more pricey. For bulk needs, like making goji milk or other goji treats, these are where it's at for quality and price.

Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions
Project Description
Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) is a
focused Global Change program sponsored by the National Science
Foundation (NSF) to enhance the capability of ground-based instruments
to measure the upper atmosphere and to coordinate instrument and model
data for the benefit of the scientific community.
The CEDAR Data Base (formerly the Incoherent Scatter Radar Data Base)
is a cooperative project between the National Center for Atmospheric
Research (NCAR) and several institutions that provide upper atmosphere
data and model output for community use. There are 10 GB of data on
the cedar.hao.ucar.edu computer in the High Altitude Observatory (HAO)
division of NCAR.
The CEDAR Data Base, Data Base Catalog, ftp site, and model output data
are located at the HAO:
The CEDAR concept originated in the mid-1980's and was developed over
several years through workshops, symposia, and committee deliberations
by nearly 100 scientists involved in aeronomical studies. These
activities led to a comprehensive report that provided a framework for
developing upper atmospheric research in the United States through an
evolutionary strategy of instrument development and deployment
coordinated with campaign activities related to the globalscale,
coupled, nearearth environment. The program has attracted a large
number of graduate students and many international
collaborators. Guidance is provided by a science steering committee
appointed by the NSF Aeronomy and Upper Atmospheric Facilities program
directors; scientific feedback to the community is provided by
newsletters and an annual summer workshop.
Three broad categories embrace the scientific goals of the CEDAR
program: (1) dynamics and energetics of the upper atmosphere, with
particular emphasis on the hard to observe region between 80 and 150
km; (2) coupling between the mesosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere,
exosphere, and magnetosphere; and (3) horizontal coupling between
adjacent geographic regions. CEDAR has provided the community with
improved spectrometers, interferometers, and imagers; allowed upgrades
of existing facilities; and supported the development of lidars and
small radars. Several facilities have been established containing a
broad array of state of the art tools to provide a solid
infrastructure with which to attack outstanding aeronomy problems well
into the future.

Trial set for IM woman
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
FLORENCE, Wis. – A two-day jury trial has been scheduled for an Iron Mountain woman accused of attempting to run down two women with her vehicle in Aurora, Wis.
Valerie M. Edwards, 24, will go to trial in Florence County Court on May 20 and 21.
Florence County District Attorney Douglas Drexler said that he intends to call six witnesses. They include the two victims, a man who witnessed the incident, the two deputies who handled the case, and a lab technician to testify to the marijuana charge.
Edwards' attorney Michael Scholke said that he will call one witness.
Edwards faces two felony counts of recklessly endangering safety-second degree, one misdemeanor count of battery, one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, one misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana, and one misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
If convicted on all charges, she could spend up to 20 years in prison.
According to the criminal complaint in the case, two women claimed that they were talking to a man at an Aurora bar in the early morning hours of New Year's Day when Edwards attacked one of them.
The women stated that when they left the bar, Edwards came after them in a vehicle and almost hit them.

Best Practice
For several years, the Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA), a semi-independent government affiliate, operated Bridgeport's wastewater treatment systems. While the system was undergoing upgrades to increase capacity as required by a consent decree, effluent excursions continued to impact the ecological balance of the Long Island Sound and excessive operating costs were driving sewer rates up.
As a resolution to these problems, Bridgeport Mayor Joseph P. Ganim set up a committee to explore privatization. Despite less than favorable response from the WPCA and its union employees, in April of 1997 USFilter—through its subsidiary Professional Services Group (PSG)—assumed responsibility for the city's two sludge plants and over 300 miles of collection systems. Under the terms of the contract, PSG was required to maintain employment for all WPCA employees except through natural attrition; pass cost savings on to citizens through reduced sewer rates; and guarantee environmental compliance to protect the integrity of the Long Island Sound.
PSG and Bridgeport achieved the first of its objectives by working closely with five separate labor unions during the transition to private sector management. Those employees of the collection system who chose to remain in city employment were allowed to exercise their bumping rights and move into other areas of city government. PSG not only maintained all other current staff but significantly increased efficiency with additional training. Several employees attained Grade I operator certification for the first time. As a result, Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection site visits noticeably decreased. In terms of cost savings, privatization saved an estimated 20% over projected costs. True to its word, PSG passed on the savings to the consumer, with a 2%-5% real decrease in sewer rates.
The partnership has been so satisfactory that Bridgeport and PSG recently agreed to an 18-year contract extension. Mayor Ganim and PSG expect $20 million in cost savings over the life of the contract. PSG has already made a $6 million payment up front to further reduce and stabilize long-term sewer rates. This will translate into a $50 decrease in the average homeowner's sewer bill per quarter. Moreover, for the economy of Bridgeport and its neighbors, the preservation of the Sound's water quality will mean a boon for the tourist and fishing industry.
PSG, as a contributing community partner, supports numerous charity events, plant tours, scholarships and public area maintenance. It shares equipment and personnel with the other city departments, and when Bridgeport's famous Barnum Festival rolls around, the City knows it can depend on PSG for both monetary and personnel support.

Gingivitis is a common and mild form of gum disease (periodontal disease) that causes irritation, redness and swelling (inflammation) of your gums. Because gingivitis can be mild, you may not be aware that you have the condition. But it's important to take gingivitis seriously and treat it promptly. Gingivitis can lead to much more serious gum disease (periodontitis) and eventual tooth loss.
The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. Good oral health habits, such as brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily and getting regular dental checkups, can help prevent gingivitis.
Healthy gums are firm and pale pink. If your gums are puffy, dusky red and bleed easily, you may have gingivitis. Because gingivitis is seldom painful, you can have gingivitis without even knowing it.
Signs and symptoms of gingivitis include:
Most dentists recommend regular checkups to identify gingivitis, cavities (caries) and other dental conditions before they cause troubling symptoms and lead to more serious problems. If you notice any signs and symptoms of gingivitis, schedule an appointment with your dentist. The sooner you seek care, the better your chances of reversing damage from gingivitis and preventing its progression to periodontitis.
The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene that encourages plaque to form. Plaque is an invisible, sticky film composed mainly of bacteria. Plaque forms on your teeth when starches and sugars in food interact with bacteria normally found in your mouth. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing each day removes plaque. Plaque requires daily removal because it re-forms quickly, usually within 24 hours.
Plaque that stays on your teeth longer than two or three days can harden under your gumline into tartar (calculus). Tartar can also develop resulting from the mineral content in your saliva. Tartar makes plaque more difficult to remove and creates a protective shield for bacteria. You usually can't get rid of tartar by brushing and flossing — you need a professional dental cleaning to remove it.
The longer that plaque and tartar remain on your teeth, the more they irritate the gingiva, the part of your gum around the base of your teeth. In time, your gums become swollen and bleed easily. Tooth decay (dental caries) also may result.
Gingivitis is common, and anyone can develop it. Many people first experience gum problems during puberty and then in varying degrees throughout life.
Factors that can increase your risk of gingivitis include:
Untreated gingivitis can progress to gum disease that spreads to underlying tissue and bone (periodontitis), a much more serious condition that can lead to tooth loss.
Periodontitis and poor oral health in general may also affect your overall health. It's not completely understood — and researchers haven't established whether periodontal disease actually causes any of these conditions — but having periodontitis may be associated with:
Follow your dentist's recommended schedule for regular checkups. If you notice any symptoms of gingivitis, make an appointment with your dentist.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and know what to expect from your dentist.
Consider preparing a list of questions to ask your dentist, such as:
Don't hesitate to ask other questions during your appointment at any time if you don't understand something.
Your dentist may ask you questions about your symptoms, such as:
Dentists usually diagnose gingivitis based on symptoms and an examination of your teeth, gums, mouth and tongue. Your dentist will look for plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth and check your gums for redness, puffiness and easy bleeding.
If it's not clear what has caused your gingivitis, your dentist may recommend that you get a medical evaluation to check for underlying health conditions.
Prompt treatment usually reverses symptoms of gingivitis and prevents its progression to more serious gum disease and tooth loss. Effective treatment requires professional care followed by stepped up oral hygiene at home.
Professional gingivitis care includes:
Your initial professional cleaning will include use of dental instruments to remove all traces of plaque and tartar — a procedure known as scaling. Scaling may be uncomfortable, especially if your gums are already sensitive or you have extensive plaque and tartar buildup.
Misaligned teeth or poorly fitting crowns, bridges or other dental restorations may irritate your gums and make it harder to remove plaque during daily home care. If problems with your teeth or dental restorations contribute to your gingivitis, your dentist may recommend fixing these problems.
Gingivitis usually clears up after a thorough professional cleaning — as long as you continue good oral hygiene at home. Your dentist will help you plan an effective at-home program.
Steps you can take at home to prevent and reverse gingivitis include:
If you're consistent with your home hygiene, you should see the return of pink, healthy gum tissue within days or weeks. You'll need to practice good oral hygiene for life, however, so your gum problems don't return.
The best way to prevent gingivitis is a program of good dental hygiene, one that you begin early and practice consistently throughout life. A complete cleaning with a toothbrush and floss should take three to five minutes. Flossing before you brush allows you to clean away the loosened food particles and bacteria.
See your dentist or dental hygienist regularly for professional cleanings, usually every six to 12 months. If you have risk factors that increase your chance of developing gingivitis, you may need professional dental cleanings more often.

Compassion is a marvelous virtue. Feeling concern for others and acting sacrificially — especially on behalf of those that cannot return the favor — reveals mature character and contributes to human flourishing.
Compassion moves missionaries and monks to great efforts as they plant churches, pioneer institutions, and work for justice across cultures and geographies. Paul's words are the motivation for his apostolic proclamation that, "…the love of Christ compels us…" and, "one died for all, therefore all died. And those who live should not live for themselves but for him who died and rose again." (2 Cor. 5)
This agape love includes moral conviction and missional wisdom.
"Unsanctified mercy" (thank you, Jill Miller, for this term) arises when compassion becomes compromise and our fear of offending subverts biblical truth. The American church is increasingly guilty of doctrinal, moral, and spiritual compromise under the guise of compassion and misplaced historical guilt.
At the risk of offending tender sensibilities, it is time to confront our own hearts and our public ministries with gospel truth. Progressive Christians have served the kingdom well as they expose the excesses of consumerism, capitalism, and colonialism that often mark American and Western ecclesial efforts. Conservative Christians serve God's reign as they remind the church that there are timeless beliefs and values not subject to one's "evolution." The sanctity of life, the definition and marriage, and the historical foundations of the gospel and Scripture are among these convictions. There is much room for civil family debate on a variety of issues and strategies.
The events of the past half-century and the last few months are cause for grave concern and I am unashamedly speaking truth to power as unsanctified mercy leads the church down pathways of compromise, irrelevance and ineffective witness. (more…)

Hospital nursing units in the USA: government ownership, Magnet designation, unit population age group and higher skill mix are associated with lower nursing turnover

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Registered nurse (RN) and total nurse turnover are the organisational variables that should be measured and tracked routinely.
Working in highly specialised areas is associated with lower turnover, therefore future research should explore characteristics of these areas and how they may be applied to less specialised areas of nursing practice.
Future studies should explore determinants of low turnover in government hospitals.
Replacing nurse vacancies in hospitals is a substantial expense and hospitals are wise to explore strategies that minimise nursing turnover. The US hospitals that attracted and retained a high-quality RN workforce despite severe nursing shortages in the early 1980s were termed 'magnet hospitals'. Magnet hospital …

Only thing I noticed is that the cover goes almost to the ground, and the swivel casters hit the cover. The quality is very good. You need a shelf at the very top position or the cover will sag in the center. I like this cover because of the full view in front with the vinyl window.

In a bid to receive favourable pricing, receive priorities in supplies and boost market share, large motherboard manufacturers Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology had reportedly acquired too many latest 4-series chipsets from Intel Corp., which they have not managed to sell due to the global economic turmoil.
Presently Asustek Computer has 6-7 million Intel 4-series core-logic sets in its stocks, which is equivalent to around $180.18 million, whereas Gigabyte has chipsets that worth around $120.12 – $150.15 million, according to a news-story by DigiTimes web-site that cites sources among mainboard makers.
Considering the fact that Intel 4-series core-logic sets are the last new chipsets for Intel Core 2-series microprocessors, having excessive chipset inventories is hardly a catastrophe for large mainboard suppliers as the Core 2 chips will remain on the mainstream market for several quarters from now. Still, since both Asus and Gigabyte usually tend to offer a broad line of high-end mainboards for the latest processors, expansion of the new-generation Core i7 family will catalyze the two motherboard vendors to quickly decrease pricing of current products, which is generally good for the consumer.
Mainboard and graphics cards makers usually try to allocate as much chips from designers as possible in order to get lower prices, shipments priorities and, as a result, boost their market shares. However, ordering excessive amount of chips amid global economic crisis is a risky action, as the demand may unexpectedly become too low.
Currently many consumers are getting low-cost notebooks, or even netbooks, instead of new desktop personal computers, which is why the demand towards classic mainboards is declining and nobody knows when exactly it hits the bottom. Mainboard makers are afraid that Intel will release new breeds of chipsets or substantially cut pricing before they manage to get rid of overstock core-logic inventories.
Asustek and Gigabyte refused to officially comment regarding their inventory issues, while Intel declined to comment on this report.

Commanders' wives expected to lead
March 21, 2009
Being friends with your boss' wife is always tricky but in the military it can be even more challenging.
Picture my husband's boss' wife holding my hair back while I puke. It doesn't exactly translate into a great first impression, let alone a good move for his career. But that's how we met, when I was sick with the flu, two weeks post-partum with baby number five, and my husband deployed to Iraq.

Face it, the checklist of tired P's marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed - Pricing, Promotion, Publicity, to name a few -aren't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important P that has to be added to the list. It's Purple Cow. Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or 10, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something.
Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat-out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff - a lot of brown cows - but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.
In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers.
©2002 Do You Zoom Inc.; (P)2009 Gildan Media Corp
"Take Leo Burnett,David Oglivy, Bill Bernbach and Mark Twain. Combine their brains and shave their heads. What's left? Seth Godin." (Jay Levinson, author of Guerrilla Marketing)
"Godin's style is punchy and irreverent, using short, sharp messages to drive his points home. ....[H]is wide-ranging advice - be outrageous, tell the truth, test the limits and never settle for just 'very good' - is solid and timely." (Publishers Weekly)
"A must read for all entrepreneurs"
If there is a required reading list for entrepreneurs, this book should be at the top.
I found this book so informative and interesting, that I listened to it twice. It is easy to listen to, and full of insight. I highly recommend this book to anyone in any line of work, especially small business owners.
"!!!! Good !!!!! Should be a chapter, not book!!"
I would and have recommended to friends, only because I agree with the concept; the delivery was long winded way of saying 'make your products unique' so that your talked about and remembered.
"Classic Seth Godin"
I've become a big fan of Seth Godin in recent months, and this audiobook didn't disappoint. The Purple Cow is the truly unique and remarkable product, service, benefit or feature that can make your brand stand apart from the countless boring - and floundering - brands out there.
Godin's very good at weaving together his advice, anecdotes and theories, and I came away from Purple Cow feeling newly energized with creative and innovative ideas. The man himself is a living demonstration of the power of creative brand-building, and I hope his ideas keep flowing freely for a long time yet.
"Possibly Seth's best work to date"
I am a big fan of Seth Godin. I am on Tribes on Ning, I have interviewed him in my blog, and I read most things he posts or publishes.
And for me, this is probably his best work to date. The entire concept of the purple cow is simple - be remarkable. But as always he supports this with many layers of examples, tactics and case studies.
I am a consultant and for me this book has helped a heck of a lot.
"Delightful, Engaging and Insightful"
I love this guy's work. It's not just that he's a marketing visionary - he's a brilliant communicator too.
I'm amazed at how well the book works in the audio medium. It's almost as if he wrote it with audio in mind.
Strongly recommended. Very, very useful if you have your own business.
"wholly unremarkable"
Not really, it just seemed like the really interesting point to this book is that the title is a Purple cow, after that, not too much that stands out.
"Long, Boring and Dated"
I was having a hard time just staying awake during this audiobook. While 3 hours doesn't seem like a long book, the information here could have been provided in less than 20 minutes.
"A quick review for a quick book..."
The value of the The Purple Cow is entirely in its premise: you need an outstanding product or service or not only will you not sell anything, but you will be ignored.
Another reviewer succinctly warned that the book was all repetition and not to bother with a purchase. Well, I like to think for myself and often take reviews lightly as sometimes reviewers have agendas that aren't apparent. My loss.
Seth probably wrote the whole concept with all branches in a page of single spaced 10 pitch font. His discussion, I think, is intended to make him look like he is a Purple Cow. I had the audio speed at 1.25 but should have bumped it up higher. I would have lost nothing.
Sorry Seth, but shallow sells as well as boring. Your next book will be hard to pick out in the vast Audible library.
""Fluffy" overview of more substantive books"
This is a rather fluffy overview of several more substantive books (Geoff Moore's Crossing the Chasm and Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point) that uses cutesy names (ideavirus and purple cows) to describe phenomena that are already well documented in well researched and supported books. When the books does try to move into original areas the concepts tend to be very general and at times even wrong if you are familiar with the research.
I was looking for more original thinking and advice on practical ways to apply the concepts discussed in the books.
Gladwell's new book.
The actual reading of the book was fine.
Remove the cutesy names for things and add some substance. Turn this book into one chapter of a more substantive book.
This book is as very easy listen and will give you a basic introduction to the concepts covered. If you don't have time to read the more substantive books, this one isn't a terrible overview.
"It says it all on the cover..."
Then spends the rest of the book repeating it. I didn't hate the book, I wanted to hear it based on its hype. You can't argue the importance of being 'remarkable' in business but the message is superficial and everything I got from this I could have gotten from a quote poster. This is better if you already have a formed business idea. Loads of sound bites, not the greatest amount of substance
"Interesting read"
I found this book useful and the ideas interesting for starting up and running my new business
Super fast and interesting listen. Definitely worth taking lessons from it and changing your strategy to be remarkable and standout
"Stimulating and brilliantly read by the author!"
I love it when the author narrates his own book, bonus Seth! Good listen, especially when driven but felt it could be condensed. I got the point quickly! Good point, well made, just a bit repetitive towards the end.
"Convincing arguments"
In this book the author makes a compelling case for being outstanding or exceptional. While this might seem obvious he does put a different spin on it and he links it to how it will help you market your business. I enjoyed the book and it made me think.
"Purple Cow"
The title initially made me dubious but I was sold by what the book was offering. This book is a MUST HAVE for every small business and larger businesses could also learn from this. The best read I have had in years and every sentence has had me thinking, reviewing and processing my own business. I wish I had found this book a few years back. Hoping Seth has more for us to learn from. Thank you.
"Good ideas"
Another good Set Godin book. Good examples and theories. Sometimes hard to fully accept the theory entirely
"Excellent content."
This audio book shows you how to be extraordinary and stand out from the crowd. I would definitely recommend this book.
"Light on content"
The book could be summarised in 5 sentences and would lose almost none of its value. The extra content adds little.
"Old now"
This book was from back in 2005, although there are some pearls of wisdom within, things have moved on... a lot!

Roy Lichtenstein (1923–1997) worked with Ken Tyler at both his west and east coast workshops, beginning at Gemini GEL in 1969. The artist developed an original aesthetic during the early 1960s that paradoxically highlighted industrial printing methods derived from his sources of inspiration—the subject matter of popular culture.
Paintings and prints were rendered to achieve a mass–produced look using the Ben Day dot system—named after the American illustrator Benjamin Day. This is a system where coloured dots on a white background give the appearance of a half tone.

Matt, have you ever tried adding some manitoba flour to the mix, so the dough doesn't rip so easy ? wen taking the VPN training Giulio talked to me in private about sourdough fermenting using 10 to 20% of manitoba flour, this helps the acid in the SD not to completely destroy the gluten.
