Bioethanol production by inherent enzymes from rye and wheat with addition of organic farming cheese whey
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
In organic farming, there is a strong effort to minimize the share of non-renewable resources (e.g. fossil
fuels) and use only (preferably on-farm produced) bio-based energy and renewable raw materials, with
the aim of achieving sustainable production systems and to become self-sufficient in energy.
Throughout our studies, wheat and rye grain was used as raw material in bioethanol production with
the purpose of producing in situ enzymes (during germination) for the hydrolysis of starch in the grains
and compared with commercial amylase enzyme preparations. Whey permeate was incorporated into
the grain in Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) process to use a cheap nutrient and
water source. The ethanol fermentations were completed by 190 h. The fermentation efficiency of germinated
and un-germinated grains (without commercial enzymes) was compared with that of commercial
enzymes in SSF and furthermore Autoamylolytical Quotient (AAQ) was calculated. On rye 72% yield of the
theoretical was achieved by applying commercial enzymes, which decreased only by 10%, when in situ
enzymes produced during germination were used alone. The obtained ethanol yields and high (90%)
AAQ values showed that rye is a suitable substrate for autoamylolytical processes. According to the
low yields (

Our Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign's Math Is Sound
Christian Parenti checks the math of the growing fossil fuel divestment movement on college campuses in his piece, "Problems with the Math: Is 350's Carbon Divestment Campaign Complete?," published recently at Common Dreams. While his critique on the strategy behind this historic effort is important to acknowledge, it overlooks some of the on-the-ground realities of the fight for climate justice that we as a campaign have been discussing for the past year and a half.
The primary critique leveled against our efforts is that 350.org's analysis of divestment as "hitting [the industry] where it hurts" is too limited to affect change. We'd like to clarify our strategy and explain the intentions behind our work, and how we see it tied to a broader vision for change in the months and years to come.
Despite Parenti's referral to the fossil fuel divestment movement as "350's current campaign", the first campaign began at Swarthmore College over a year before 350.org became involved. Although we are happy and grateful for 350.org's involvement, and the megaphone that it has provided for our message, this movement does not speak with one voice or have one person as a leader or spokesperson. In fact, throughout 2011 a number of in-depth planning conversations took place between students at Swarthmore and UNC-Chapel Hill and organizations including the Energy Action Coalition, As You Sow, Sierra Student Coalition, the Sustainable Endowments Institute, the California Student Sustainability Coalition, and the Responsible Endowments Coalition. At that time, after discussion of the very concerns that Dr. Parenti now raises, we concluded that even a wildly successful divestment campaign would not financially kneecap the industry; we recognized that the realities of investment were more nuanced than simply defunding these fossil fuel companies.
However, what we also came to recognize that a mass mobilization to change the way universities invest could and would have a profound impact on the way young people, investors, and society more broadly view the fossil fuel industry. If it sends a signal to the market, that's fantastic. Moreover, we believe it will send a message to civil society, and to our politicians as well. Activist groups were talking about the American relationship with apartheid South Africa for decades without success, but once divestment went from a trickle to a wave in the mid-1980s, the congressional hearings started and the Reagan White House began to take notice. A powerful divestment campaign can and will act as a movement-building tool to develop the network, the skills, the leaders and allies that will allow this escalation of the climate movement to grow stronger every day.
We must be circumspect about how, as a movement, we approach our goal of climate justice. The state alone can't bring down big oil and fossil fuel companies. We have already seen that the tragedy of capitalism in its current form is that allowing these companies to grow so large and powerful has rotted out our governmental system. Furthermore, the past 30 plus years of mainstream environmental campaigns have focused on government regulation. Divestment is an escalation precisely because government regulations have proved elusive, ineffective, and even dangerous. We needn't look any farther than the acres of monoculture biofuel plantations created by cap and trade to see that "off-setting" a culture of exploitation with market-based solutions is not the answer. We need solutions that emanate from our own contexts—from colleges to impacted communities—not false solutions from Washington or Wall Street.
Divestment is an escalation precisely because government regulations have proved elusive, ineffective, and even dangerous.
Talking about fossil fuels solely within the sphere of the policy approach or as a "good" or "bad" investment ignores the realities of extraction on the ground. Swarthmore students began campaigning for fossil fuel divestment as a way to work in solidarity with impacted communities on the front lines of coal extraction, such as those affected by mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia and hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania that we've had the opportunity to visit. Try telling people in West Virginia and Kentucky that the only way to deal with King Coal is through the government action. Coal has deeply corrupted state houses in Appalachia, who flaunted the Clean Water Act by issuing new permits for mountaintop removal coal mining.
We don't live in a frictionless world where the government can be relied on to dole out climate justice, as much as we wish this were true. The responses to Katrina, Sandy, and environmental activism in Appalachia have demonstrated that for many communities, especially those on the front lines of environmental injustice, the state has not only failed them, but failed to get anywhere near the roots of the problem—particularly, the avaricious pursuit of profits by the fossil fuel industry, at the expense of our health, functional democracy, and the future of our planet.
When we face policy inaction, we organize. What that organizing looks like depends on your context, your community, and the resources you have at your disposal. So what we see in coal communities in Appalachia, on the front lines of Tar Sands extraction in Alberta, and elsewhere is community groups forming in opposition. And what we're seeing more and more on college campuses—over 150 campuses, at last count, a surge not seen since the South Africa in the 1980's—is students demanding that schools divest the endowments from these activities. Grassroots organizing can win victories, too. Patriot Coal stopped mountaintop removal coal mining after communities mobilized and organized when the state, time and time again, failed to step in, even as the communities it purported to speak for were being destroyed. This divestment movement is built on these successes. Future progress—like the potential divestment of the City of Seattle's pension fund alluded to recently—will likewise be built on this movement as well.
We recognize that Dr. Parenti is an ally to our efforts at heart, and we are happy to hear that he is "all for dumping carbon stocks, if for no other reason than a sense of decency and honor." We are surrounded by the greed and destruction of fossil fuel extraction, and the ever-worsening crisis of climate change. Our neighbors and friends in impacted communities face them today, and so will we before too long. There are more reasons now than ever to do the decent and honorable thing.

New Yorkers to Face Worst Labor Day Traffic Nationwide
Bridgeport, third-worst city, will also see significant holiday weekend congestion
Aug 28, 2012, 09:00 ET from INRIX
NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Every Labor Day, millions of Americans hit the road for one "last" summer weekend, and 2012 will be no different according to INRIX, the leading provider of traffic information. Through in-depth analysis of recent traffic patterns in New York City, INRIX predicts that New York, the fourth-most congested city in the U.S. and Bridgeport, CT, the fifth-most congested city,(1) will take the first and third spots, respectively, for the worst cities for weekend road-trippers.
"Between Bridgeport being a 'gateway' between New England and the Mid-Atlantic, and recent trends and increases in consumer spending indicating that travelers will not fear gas prices, we're predicting major delays as travelers leave town for Labor Day," said Jim Bak, INRIX Director of Community Relations. "Best bet is to leave before lunchtime or wait for the evening, if you're planning to get out on Friday. Travelers thinking they'll avoid traffic by waiting for Saturday to depart will have better luck if they get on the road right after breakfast."
Key insights from INRIX's New York metro area research include:
- Traffic will start to build in New York City at lunchtime on Friday, August 31, and will continue to get worse into the evening, peaking between 4 and 5 p.m., with traffic in Bridgeport getting heavy thereafter and congestion remaining until at least 7 p.m.
- Travelers moving between New York and Bridgeport or beyond should plan to depart after 8 p.m. on Friday, or wait until Saturday morning and hit the road before lunchtime.
- New Yorkers in search of a beach will be better heading south to the Jersey Shore than north toward The Hamptons: despite the closer proximity of northern beaches, the trip to Atlantic City can be up to two hours shorter.
- Gamblers beware! Travel between Bridgeport and Mashantucket, home of the Foxwoods Casino, will move at 41mph or slower during peak holiday weekend travel times.
New York City's unique geography will ensure that all travelers trying to get to or from the City can expect additional delays at bridge and tunnel crossings: the Throgs Neck Bridge and the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, which connect the Bronx to Queens, will see delays of at least 30 minutes, and the George Washington Bridge and Cross Bronx Expressway, already strained by slow-downs caused by construction on the Alexander Hamilton Bridge, will be under additional stress—as will the alternative routes nearby. Given the expected increase in the number of holiday travelers, combined with ongoing road construction and unexpected delays due to accidents and other incidents, Bak advises travelers to use free tools like the INRIX Traffic app, to help ease drivers' getaway trips with up-to-the-minute information about traffic conditions and travel times.
Additional information about traffic delays heading to popular road trip destinations for New York and Bridgeport residents is as follows:

For what had they battled? On a once-fertile peninsula, the two armies met for one final time, a line of men stretching for miles across the battlefield. And he saw the hopelessness of it. One lone soldier. And with hands trembling, and mind ablaze with visions of a final peace, the soldier grasped the ancient relic, slowly removing it's crumbling wrappings. And beneath, a sword. A wonderful sword, even sheathed as it was. A marvellous golden hilt, studded with white and red gems and set in the center the holy symbol in mithril of some forgotten god: A backwards Z. As the war horns were about to sound, the single soldier rushed from the vault to the center of the battlefield and with a shout of triumph, drew the sword for the first time in ages from it's blue leather hilt. And behold, within was pure glory, a blaze of light. And then nothing. The peninsula was swallowed in shining glory and sank beneath the sea. And as the soldier's soul sank into the Underworld, his last thought was of the tale that all the peninsula's people had been told once, long ago in their various childhood's: That once there had been a sword and that in it's glory was the key to the ultimate peace.
Magical Properties:
When drawn from it's marvellous sheath, the Sword of Unattainable Glory's true power is revealed. The power of the sword is so pure that everything around the drawer in hundred miles is destroyed.
Sword of Unattainable Glory
Long lost beneath the raging seas, the Sword holds the pure power that nobody could ever contain.

Three Britons died and a fourth was fighting for his life in a Dutch hospital today after a high-speed crash while escaping from police.
Two men, a 25-year-old and a 28-year-old both from Liverpool, were taken from the crash site in Driel in the early hours of Saturday.
They were allegedly involved with three others who blew up a cash machine at a supermarket in Driel and then fled along the A12 motorway.
Their car overturned as officers pursued.
A 21-year-old Liverpudlian died at the scene.
A 25-year-old, from London, died later that day, according to Dutch police.
And a 27-year-old, also from Liverpool, died in hospital yesterday.
A police spokesman said: "It all started at 3am on Saturday when we got a call about a robbery at an ATM machine at a supermarket in the small village of Driel, not far from Arnhem.
"The men moved rapidly.
"We started a pursuit but it all ended very soon - moments after it began.
"Half an hour later it was reported there was a car crash in the centre of the Netherlands.
"There were five people in the car and there were lots of similarities with the people seen in Driel.
"One man died instantly, the other man died later that day and the third man died yesterday.
"The other two are being treated in hospital near Utrecht.
"We were not able to have a decent conversation with the gentlemen - they were badly injured.
"We hope to speak to them soon.
"We want to know what five men from Britain are doing in the small village of Driel.
"We hope to hear from them soon but at the moment they are not physically able to comment.
"One man is under arrest for theft but the other person was not fit enough to know he was going to be arrested.
"Thousands of euros were taken but we cannot give the exact amount.
"We deny a link between the pursuit causing the crash."
Money, covered in anti-theft dye, was recovered inside the car with the men.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "Five British Nationals were involved in a road traffic accident on Saturday morning in the town of Driel, Netherlands.
"We can confirm the death of three British nationals and the hospitalisation of two British nationals.
"The local police are investigating the incident. We are providing consular assistance to those involved."

Significant Criteria Of Sport Betting,
10 '15 Subject: Arts and Entertainment, Viewed by: 215Earn money On Sports Betting
Countless people take part in sporting activities gambling each and every day. The frustrating consensus viewpoint is that it is impossible to win cash from sports wagering. While it holds true that it could be extremely tough to make cash on sporting activities betting, it is possible.
One similar is the stock exchange. So many individuals lose tons as well as lots of cash on the stock exchange, yet numerous people are millionaires because of it. The same applies in betting. Every system in our society has inadequacy. If gaming, or other company were flawlessly reliable, after that there wouldn't be any factor for any individual to wager on sports.
If you're currently failing to make a considerable revenue in sports betting, the important point you need to try as well as do is far better control your checking account. Allow's state you have $100. You're probably wagering in between $10 and also $25 per wager. Lose a few bets and also you're done. To fix this, never bet greater than 1 % to 5 % of your money. This will permit sustainable development with time instead than prompt spikes or dips in your account.
You should likewise try and analyze your wagers extremely completely and also provide them star scores, or confidence scores on a one star to five celebrity range. A 5 star bet might be a $5 bet, whereas a two celebrity bet could only be for $1. Presuming you've done your research study correctly, your 5 star wagers should allow you making revenue over the one or 2 Related Site star losses that might come.
Yet you have to make sure you're doing the proper research necessary. This may be an all day activity, figuring a consensus on the game, as well as keeping up with injury reports. If you don't think you can do this, then there are definitely other options. These are sports betting systems, and sport handicapping services.
For example, an NBA betting system may say that when a team loses three straight on the road and are at home their next game, bet the spread. Systems like this often have great success, you just need to find the right system because there are so many scams in this industry. The same goes for sport handicappers. Find the right one, and you can hit on 60 % - 65 % of your games, but finding a bad one-which is much more likely- and you can lose your whole bank account.

In the 1930sand 40s, the main feature in a movie house would often be preceded by a short film that constituted one chapter of an ongoing series. Popular serials included Flash Gordon, Radar Men From The Moon, The Phantom Empire, Fighting Devil Dogs, and even comics characters like Batman and Superman. Republic Pictures was the most prolific producer of serials. Many of them are currently available on video.
The beginning would be the unravelling of the "cliffhanger" that ended the previous episode. In the very first serials, silents, it would be an actual scene hanging over a cliff, often of the heroine, sometimes called Pearl Pureheart, but also of the hero.
The remainder of the episode would be the buildup to the new crisis. Each crisis, when unravelled, was not the same as the one built up to. How could it be? It was inescapable!
it is extremely interesting to watch a whole serial back to back to back. Seeing the subtle changes made in both editing, and content--the movie magic that permits escape. Some of these serials had two editors; they needed them.
Much of the modern language of action movie editing grew out of serials.

If you were at the Bucs vs. Stars game this past Friday night at the IceBox, you may have noticed something a little strange with one of the officials. USHL linesman Patrick Turcotte was wearing a GoPro video camera on the top of his helmet for the entire game. So what's the back story?
Brandon Anderson of BA Photos received permission from the league to have his GoPro camera installed onto the top of Turcotte's helmet. You can see a picture of the helmet-camera combo to the left.
So you can only imagine that the camera recorded some very interesting video from a perspective we never get to see as fans. Below are two such videos. In the first video we see Dax Lauwers of the Stars drop the mitts with Patrick Kirtland of the Bucs, a fight that occurred in the first period. The fight didn't last very long, but the footage from the fight is really cool I think. The second video is of the failed penalty shot attempt the Bucs had in the second period. Thanks to Brandon for allowing me to share these viceos with all of you. Click play below to watch.

I plan to write at some length soon about the Egyptian Constitutional referendum, but this is an inital comment. As expected, it passed: most voters want stability and are not terribly concerned about turns of phrase in a constitution. Turnout was low, opposition high in Cairo and major cities, but Upper Egypt carried the day. Like other countries I could name (I live in one), the views of urban elites are often not very compatible with those of the less urban hinterland. In a democracy, though, winning candidates need to appeal to a broad spectrum of opinion. You do not say to the voters what you may say to your inside-the-Beltway drinking buddies. Not if you want to win.
Now, Mohamed ElBaradei is an extremely popular Egyptian liberal among Western journalists and some of the intelligentsia, though he has spent more of his time abroad than in Egypt for decades: he's a key figure in the liberal (not the revolutionary) secular side. Days before the second round of the referendum, the former IAEA head tweeted:
The Arabic goes a bit beyond the English, indicating that poverty and illiteracy create fertile soil for trading in religion.
Now, illiteracy is a big problem in Egypt and in many emerging democracies, as is poverty.
But the thing is, Dr ElBaradei, you just called the people whose votes you need in order to win illiterate, and probably offended their religious beliefs to boot.
Ah, you may say, but if they're illiterate and poor, they can't read you on Twitter. True enough. But the Muslim Brotherhood can; the Salafis can; the preachers these folks listened to on Friday before voting on Saturday can. Do you think they don't quote this and similar comments to their flocks?
Democracy 101: telling the voters they're illiterate rubes is generally a bad way to win votes, even if it happens to be true.

Roussel Uclaf S.A. was a French pharmaceutical company and one of several predecessor companies of today's Sanofi.
It was the second largest French pharmaceutical company[6] before it was acquired by Hoechst AG of Frankfurt, Germany in 1997, with pharmaceutical operations combined into the Hoechst Marion Roussel (HMR) division in the United States. Roussel Uclaf's agrochemical operations had been transferred to Hoechst Schering AgrEvo GmbH in 1994.
HMR subsequently merged in 1999 with Rhône-Poulenc to form Aventis, which then merged in 2004 with Sanofi-Synthélabo to form Sanofi-Aventis, which was since renamed Sanofi. Hoechst Schering AgrEvo merged in 1999 with Rhône-Poulenc's agrochemical division to form Aventis CropScience, which was acquired by Bayer AG in 2002 and combined with Bayer's agrochemical division to form Bayer CropScience.
In April 1980, as part of a formal research project at Roussel-Uclaf for the development of glucocorticoid receptor antagonists, chemist Georges Teutsch synthesized mifepristone (RU-38486, the 38,486th compound synthesized by Roussel-Uclaf from 1949 to 1980; shortened to RU-486); which was discovered to also be a progesterone receptor antagonist.[7][8] In October 1981, endocrinologist Étienne-Émile Baulieu, a consultant to Roussel-Uclaf, arranged tests of its use for medical abortion in eleven women in Switzerland by gynecologist Walter Herrmann at the University of Geneva's Cantonal Hospital, with successful results announced on April 19, 1982.[7][9] On October 9, 1987, following worldwide clinical trials in 20,000 women of mifepristone with a prostaglandin analogue (initially sulprostone or gemeprost, later misoprostol) for medical abortion, Roussel-Uclaf sought approval in France for their use for medical abortion, with approval announced on September 23, 1988.[7][10]
On October 21, 1988, in response to antiabortion protests and concerns of majority (54.5%) owner Hoechst AG of Germany, Roussel-Uclaf's executives and board of directors voted 16 to 4 to stop distribution of mifepristone, which they announced on October 26, 1988.[7][11] Two days later, the French government ordered Roussel-Uclaf to distribute mifepristone in the interests of public health.[7][12] French Health Minister Claude Évin explained that: "I could not permit the abortion debate to deprive women of a product that represents medical progress. From the moment Government approval for the drug was granted, RU-486 became the moral property of women, not just the property of a drug company."[7] Following use by 34,000 women in France from April 1988 to February 1990 of mifepristone distributed free of charge, Roussel-Uclaf began selling Mifegyne (mifepristone) to hospitals in France in February 1990 at a price (negotiated with the French government) of $48 per 600 mg dose.[7]
Mifegyne was subsequently approved in Great Britain on July 1, 1991,[13] and in Sweden in September 1992,[14] but until his retirement in late April 1994, Hoechst AG chairman Wolfgang Hilger, a devout Roman Catholic, blocked any further expansion in availability.[7][15] On May 16, 1994, Roussel-Uclaf announced that it was donating without remuneration all rights for medical uses of mifepristone in the U.S. to the Population Council,[16] which subsequently licensed mifepristone to Danco Laboratories, a new single-product company immune to antiabortion boycotts, which won FDA approval as Mifeprex on September 28, 2000.[17]
On April 8, 1997, after buying the remaining 43.5% of Roussel-Uclaf stock in early 1997,[18] Hoechst AG ($30 billion annual revenue) announced the end of its manufacture and sale of Mifegyne ($3.44 million annual revenue) and the transfer of all rights for medical uses of mifepristone outside of the U.S. to Exelgyn S.A., a new single-product company immune to antiabortion boycotts, whose CEO was former Roussel-Uclaf CEO Édouard Sakiz.[19] In 1999, Exelgyn won approval of Mifegyne in 11 additional countries, and in 28 more countries over the following decade.[20]

Review of western Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) recruitment dynamics
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
Important processes in the recruitment dynamics of western Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) are identified. Spawning areas are in the deep, saline waters below 20–40 m, depending on area topography. Spatial distribution remains relatively stable over time. Peak spawning shows an area-specific pattern, with progressively later spawning towards the east. Genetic stock structure and tagging indicate some degree of natal homing for spawning. The highly variable hydrodynamic conditions and the fact that cod eggs float in the water column cause their entrainment by currents, and their destination is determined by the prevailing winds and currents. Drift is almost exclusively to the east, but the magnitude and its impact on the structure of the affected stocks (Kattegat, western Baltic, and eastern Baltic) remains unresolved. Salinity limits the east–west exchange of eggs as a consequence of the stocks' differential requirement for neutral buoyancy. Superimposed on this, oxygen content and temperature have a significant effect on fertilization, egg/larva development, and survival. Within the Baltic Sea ecosystem, mixing of stocks may be anticipated and is particularly pronounced in the Arkona Basin because of its use for spawning by both western and eastern stocks, the advection of early life stages from the west and immigration/emigration from the east.

'Leave, leave': Anti-Morsi protesters chant as police respond with teargas (PHOTOS)
Officers fired on protesters near Omar Makram Mosque on Tahrir Square on Wednesday morning.
Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators chanted "Leave, leave" and "Down with the regime," wrote Cairo-based journalist Bel Trew on Twitter.

"A running street battle has been going on in the streets around Tahrir Square between a large group of largely young male protesters and the police," reported RT's Tom Barton from Cairo.
Violence continued throughout the night with protesters pelting police with their own teargas canisters, lighting fires and creating make-shift roadblocks with torn up sections of pavement, he said.
A200,000-strong rally descended upon Tahrir Square on Tuesday, demanding the country's Islamist president recall a decree granting him new, sweeping powers. Egypt's highest judicial body has accused Morsi of mounting an attack on it, a spokesperson has told the press.
One man was killed in the ensuing violence on Tuesday as demonstrators clashed with police. Activists say he died from over-exposure to teargas.
Elsewhere in Egypt protesters stormed President Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood party headquarters in the second-largest city, Alexandria.
President Mohamed Morsi has attempted to allay rising tensions and comparisons with authoritarian ex-President Hosni Mubarak, who was deposed nearly two years ago by mass uprisings. Morsi has assured that the powers he granted himself over the weekend are temporary are necessary in order to establish a new constitution and parliamentary elections.

"The presidency reiterates the temporary nature of these measures, which are not intended to concentrate power," Morsi said in a statement.
Mohammed ElBaradei, Egypt's opposition leader said that Morsi had become the country's "new pharaoh" and that his new powers were a violation of democratic principles.
Morsi defended his decree, saying that he was acting fully within his rights as President when it was issued. The edict that was passed on Thursday effectively makes Morsi's decisions immune to judicial review until a new constitution has been laid down.
Morsi has also extended the deadline for Egypt's new constitution for another two months. The Islamist-dominated constituent assembly is drafting the document at present.
The Muslim Brotherhood and hardline Salafi parties have planned counterdemonstrations across Egypt on Saturday to show their support for Morsi.

Great line of the day
Dave at Galloping Beaver has a post up about the Amnesty International report on Afghan prisoners:

... DND and the Canadian Forces have an obligation, no matter where our forces are deployed, to observe Canadian law. We don't get to ignore the mistreatment of prisoners taken by our forces, even if that mistreatment is happening at the hands of others after being turned over.Emphasis mine.
The responsibility for the detention of prisoners falls to the Aghanistan authorities because we have agreed to that obviously flawed arrangement. As a belligerent involved in a war, we have every right to retain prisoners in Canadian custody.
It's about time prisoners taken by Canadian Forces were placed in Canadian custody until the objectives of the Canadian mission have been fully satisfied. And if the argument is that it is too costly to do so, we shouldn't be involved at all.

Social Question
Shouldn't we cut the clueless loose?
Asked by josie (26289)
March 24th, 2010
The government takes a chunk of my production, by force, to fund "social programs". Some of this goes toward helping the helpless. While I would rather that charity to the helpless be voluntary, I can tolerate my tax bite giving relief to the sick, the disabled, the elderly etc. However, I do not understand forcing productive members of society to support the clueless. Public education gives everybody at least a basic chance of learning the ropes, and certainly since the last half of the 20th century there has been no shortage of access to information. In our time, it is entirely likely that people are clueless because of their own inattention to their personal existence. Why should that be my problem?

Practical Information
- Most organized trips use 10-person inflatable rafts.
- It's easy to arrange day trips in Yusufeli but it's best to book longer trips in advance.
- Several international and Turkish agencies offer rafting holidays, sometimes combined with trekking trips. Check that the company supplies wetsuits as well as safety equipment.
- Some agencies arrange riverbank camping and others offer village stay or pensions along the route.
- The water level in the Coruh drops dramatically through the season. In the summer, there isn't much rain on this side of the mountains and by the end of August some parts of the river are almost too shallow for a raft.
- The most reliable time to enjoy one of the finest multi-day white water trips is early June. After mid-June the water level starts to drop so this is the time to come if you're looking for a more relaxing trip.
Detailed Info
Between the start of the real white water at Ispir and the take-out at Zeytinlik some 140 kms later, the rapids come thick and fast. Soon after the river passes Ispir, the gradient steepens, the valley narrows into a gorge, and five major rapids greet the paddler in the space of three kilometres. As the river exits this gorge, the valley opens up and the paddler is rewarded with ever-changing scenery. The "Joan Collins Set" is the first five big rapids 15 kilometers to Ispir. This amazing rapid set in high waters impress even the most professional rafters. After this "opening" excitement the river flow calms down. But the river offers a constant flow of class three rapids and one or two big rapis evey day until it reaches Yusufeli. The rocks change color from brown to yellow to red and back again; castles and lookout towers perch on rock outcrops; an ancient bridge survives; and medieval churches are hidden up the side valleys. But it takes several runs to spot all these off-river attractions, as the paddler's attention is on the rapids – there is never more than seven kilometres between rapids on this helter-skelter ride. Yusufeli appears after 90km, providing a great stopping place to relax. The valley narrows, the river gets closer to the road but the rapids get bigger where the river joins the Barhal River. The Oltu River which had brought in the Tortum Stream joins the Coruh River 8 km under Yusufeli, at a point called the "sukavusumu" (water joint). It's imporant to be more careful here as the rapids have a genuine "big volume" feel to them. At the area called the "King Kong" where the River is the most dangerous it would be better to go around the high waters. From Sarıgol to Yusufeli on the Barhal is an 18km raft-and-kayak run; above Sarıgol, it is a kayak-only trip. Between May and September the river's flow drops steadily and so the paddlers can pick levels of difficulty. In 1993, the 4th World White-Water Rafting Championships were held on the banks of the Coruh. Some 250 paddlers gathered from around the globe to compete in a week-long festival of events and competitions. In 2005, the 1st Coruh Extreme Week was held for white-water kayak paddlers. Thirty-six paddlers from 14 nations competed for five days on the rapids on the river from Ispir to Yusufeli. First time in May 2010 rafting activities has begun in Uzundere.

3-way - sounds hot.
So today I had a few requests from my lovely coworkers to do valentines day mani's. Now, truth be told I do believe that Valentines day is completely a commercial invention and that if you love one another it should be expressed everyday. Who the hell wants to pay $100 for a dozen roses anyway?? Ridiculous. However, I do think that it is a very sweet holiday, and one of the only times of the year that you can wear snazzy red hearts on your nails and not look super tacky.
Sorry I just got distracted Sapporo was licking the living room carpet like it was going out of style :S
Anyway, here are Mel's nails. She had her own OPI base and I think it was Alpine Snow. Then for the hearts I used a black nail art pen and China Glaze Ruby Pumps for the inside. They actually glitter quite a bit but I couldn't pick it up with the camera properly :(
Here is Trish's nails. Trish actually received a Xmas gift mani from me but only cashed it in in Feb :) She caught me off guard so I had to improvise with the little colours that I had brought with me from work. She likes simple so I decided to do something super simple with a bit of an 80s flair. The base is China Glaze OMG (again apologies my cam just wouldn't pick up the holo) and stripes of red and black nail art pens on top.
And lastly my own. I thought I'd go for a little broken heart vibe. My heart is broken because I was SO excited to eat these new Maple Bacon Cupcakes that are being sold near my work. Yes you read me right: Bacon CUPCAKES. They're usually amazing. But these ones weren't. I think it was the blueberry filling that threw me off. Anyway, my heart breaks several times over it. :( I used China Glaze Ruby Pumps as a base with black nail art pen and CG Liquid Leather to fill the hearts in.
I also went to see that movie Valentines Day. Head over to Ink on Digital Paper for a review!
Oh and here is a picture of Sapporo just after I asked him why the carpet was so delicious. That just sounds dirty.
And yes my husband is wearing football shaped slippers. That's how he rolls.

Mom Confessions
Featured Posts
I rarely say anything about DD's birth weight because I really couldn't care less, but moms who brag and go on and on about how big their baby was, how they had no drugs, etc bug me. I don't use my daughter's birth weight as a measure of good parenting and neither does anyone else. For the record, dd was 13lbs 5oz at birth and was born at 40+1. She was born by c-section after 28 hours of drug-free labor. She had some health issues, mostly shoulder dystocia and recieved oxygen. She was in the NICU for a few hours while they ran tests.
I don't brag and I don't get why anyone else does.
Again, this isn't a brag post, just one to state annoyance. My kids are more than just big babies. They are smart, funny, sweet and just good little people. I don't understand why some moms just focus on what they can push out of their vaginas or have cut out of them lol.
ETA: No diabetes, no gestational diabetes. I was not obese or overweight. I am 5'2 and weighed 122 when I got pregnant. I gained 27 lbs during the pregnancy. This child was my first. During the pregnancy my midwife did notice I was measuring large-for-dates and did many ultrasounds. She predicted DD to be about 10.5 lbs. My second child was large also, 12 lbs 8oz and born at 41+3, and by c-section because of the issues with DD's birth.
Both my babies were exclusively breastfed, the first until 14 months and the second until 16 months, so to the woman who stated that I MUST have had to give them formula because you can't sustain a baby on breastmilk who is that size, you are very incorrect, because I did with no problems whatsoever.
I do not know if there is a family history related to large babies; I'm adopted as is my mom. Both pregnancies physically exhausting, but I have never known anything different, so it might just be normal. However, I know I will not be having more children. I know the risks associated with macrosomia later in life for the babies. Both my kids are healthy and thriving, but they're still very large. DD is 6 years old, 47 inches tall and weighs 58 lbs. DS is 3 years old and 40 inches tall and weighs 43 lbs. I weigh 125 now and I don't know if I have a family history of diabetes, but we are very careful about what we eat just in case.
Thanks for all the replies. It's very interesting that there's so a wide array of opinions out there, and even those who believe that having a c-section is not giving birth.
10lbs was really big for me.
But I know what you mean.
But still I'm seeing more and more healthy woman have huge babies! I think it's all the hormones that are found in our meats. Same reason girls are getting their periods earlier and kids are just generally bigger.
Now my DS is at an average weight but is supposedly in the 99% of his height. Which means he should be taller than 99% of boys his age. But I'm finding that almosy every boy around us is in the 99%. KWIM?
Quoting Anonymous:
That's big but I was talking like 12+ lbs big. You know, REALLY big babies. :)
Quoting Ms.Pteranodon:
Mmm that's not always true either.
I took care of myself throughout my pregnancy. I didn't have GD and I didn't gain a ton of weight i sctually lost like 10lbs during the first 6 montjs becuase I was so sick. I only gained 12lbs from starting weight and my DS was almost 10.
Quoting Anonymous:
This. Its not like you actually pushed that baby out so big or small makes no difference.
People brag about bigger babies but big big babies aren't usually something to brag about since they probably got so big either by the mom not taking care of what she ate or diabetes, or things like that, so its not really an accomplishment since it can actually affect baby's health.
Quoting RhondaVeggie:
Bragging about a big baby generally involves actually giving birth to them so there isn't really a reason to brag with a c-section because size doesn't matter when the baby isn't passing through the vaginal canal.
by Anonymous 12October 6, 2012 at 9:07 AMMy biggest was 8 lbs... She about tore me open literally lol. 13 lbs wow and oww!!!
by Anonymous 13October 6, 2012 at 9:07 AM
eh people give me crap about how big my 5 month old is (21 pounds) and i could care less. i go out of my way to not let people hold him because then all i hear is "he is SO heavy! you should put him on a DIET!"....wtf. the kid is in the 98th percentile for height and weight and i refuse to give him a water bottle and rice cereal just because people think my kid is huge.
I think the point is that they're happy they had a big, healthy baby and they were proud to be able to carry and deliver it. No harm there? What? Women aren't allowed to be proud anymore? It's more of a brag on the mom than on the baby - but in any case - who cares?!
Oh - and though you're apparently against 'bragging' of any kind, your post sounds all kinds of 'braggy'.

My Cousin Clair's Visit
Ron B.
Fiction, Incest
Author's infos
Gender: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Tue 13th of April 2004
My mother told me Ihad to let my cousin Clair hang out with me while her family stay's with us for a week. At first I told my mother no way. But when they arived I changed my mind. As they pulled in the driveway I said that sure don't look like the same brat that was here last year. When they got out of the car I just about came in my pant's This hot young thing climbed out behind her mother and said what no hug's cuz. I said sure there is and ran over to her. Iput my arm's around her and told her she grew up into a very hot young lady. As she sqeezed me tight she said it look's and feel's like you've grown and are still growing by the feel of thing's into a verry nice package youre self. Iturned bright redand asked for her bag's. I swear she had the most see threw top on because Icould see her harden nipple's as if she did'nt have any thing on. Plus she was wearring the smallest minny skirt or Ishould say the short'est minny. As Itook her bag's to her room all Icould think was how was I going to get to that sweet necter of her's. Any way after dinner the two of us decided to go out for a little while. We just drove around and had small talk about old time's and about some new stuff too. We decided to drive around until our parent's were in bed. Around one we went home but she said she was'nt tierd yet so I told her to sneek into my room. She came in after she changed her clothe's for bed. Iwas already under the cover's when she came in. She sat next to me at first but she said she was cold so Ilet her climb in next to me under the blank's. She asked what I liked to sleep inj and I told her the same thing I 'm wearring now nothing. As soon as I said that she puld the blanket's up and said you'er right. Then she asked if it would be alright for her to get naked too. Isaid sure before she was done asking I think. She pulled the blanket's back and stood up while she undressed. I told her she was the hottest thing I had ever had naked in my room before. Then she said you're lieing to me aren't you. Itold her no see and pulled the blanket away so my thobbing cock could stand straight up for her. She said with a cock as big and hard as that you don't get any pussy like this as she sperd her cunt lip's open . While she stood there she asked if I would like to lick her pussy for a few minutes. I told her only if she would suck my cock because if not it was about to blow in half from all the presure buildding in my ball's. She said how about we do this and sat on my face so she could suck my cock while Imunched on some sweet pussy. We both cam pretty fast but I was hard in second's so she let me fuck her until I shot my load deep in that pussy of her's. The rest of her stay was about the same everry night she would come in for her bed time treat and leave verry happy. Before she left she said she would come bake before school stated and bring her friend that like's the same hospitality she do'se.

Say that there's a blockbuster movie that you want to see. Do you go see it in theatres as soon as it comes out? That will cost you a pretty penny. Do you wait until the movie has a physical release, and then buy it? It's still kind of expensive, there's no telling if you'll even watch the movie more than once, and the player (or disc) may stop working or become obsolete. And then there's the case of TV. There are a number of different things that can get between you and your favourite show. The channels in your provider package aren't airing a new episode for another week, or maybe more.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/06/12 -- The Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food has completed its review of the Safe Food for Canadians Act and has now referred it back to the House of Commons for Report Stage and Third reading. This brings the Government one step closer to strengthening and modernizing Canada's food safety system to make sure it continues to provide safe food for consumers.
"This important Act will provide new authorities to address food safety risks and will build additional safety into the system, from processor to importer to consumer," said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz.
The Act, which consolidates the authorities of multiple food statutes, specifically allows for:
-- tougher penalties for activities that put the health and safety of Canadians at risk; -- a more consistent inspection regime across all food commodities; -- better control over imports and exports; and -- strengthened food traceability.
"Consolidating authorities into one Act will make inspection and enforcement powers consistent across all food commodities, enabling inspectors to be more efficient, and allowing the CFIA to focus on higher risk areas," said Minister Ritz. "As a result, Canadian consumers will enjoy a safer food supply."
For more information on the Safe Food for Canadians Act, please visit www.inspection.gc.ca or contact the CFIA at 1-800-442-2342.

A few years ago, I realised I'd reached the point at which I found it easier to identify a specific foot-to-ball game in a crowd of its peers than a fantasy RPG surrounded by its own kind. Sparkling spell effects, armour-clad warriors and giant spiders are bound to make an appearance in the majority of RPGs and there's very little difference between one frost bolt and the next. They're blue and tend toward a shard-like after-effect. Legends of Dawn, which is out now, looks a lot like Tales of the Deeprealm or Myths of Arcaneface, but it does have a trailer that seems to have been assembled using a Burroughsian cut-up technique rather than conventional editing, and which ends with a lady suddenly shout-singing "THE DAWN HAS COME THE DAWN HAS COME".

Morning Mythologies: Legends Of Dawn
It's Monday morning and the British summer continues to be nothing at all like a British summer by the very act of continuing. It's hotter than the devil's trouser press out there and after two days of waltzing about in the great outdoors, I'm about ready to sit in a dark room and write about PC games. First up is Legends of Dawn, an RPG that "liberates from class restrictions unlike real life". That's official. In real life, if you excel in mathematics at school you're locked in until the end of your days. You're a Mathemancer and there's no way to change that. Apart from a lack of class restrictions, Legends of Dawn also offers a wide open world to wander in, with deviation from the main storyline an option for all. Let this trailer enter your mind.
