Gulf Islands
National Seashore
Mississippi / Florida
Relaxation and recreation.
Whether you're spending an afternoon on the beach or a vacation at one of the campgrounds, these are the gifts offered to you by Gulf Islands National Seashore. Clear blue waters, gentle sloping beaches, coastal marshes, and human history present a backdrop for taking life easy. Here in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, Congress has set aside a few of the barrier islands for recreation and for their natural and historical resources. The park stretches from West Ship Island in Mississippi 240 kilometers (150 miles) east to the far end of Santa Rosa Island in Florida. None of the park is located in the finger of Alabama that juts between the other two states.
Islands alone do not constitute the national seashore. A few areas on the mainland have also been included. Here you can find
- old forts;
- an experimental tree farm begun by John Quincy Adams;
- archeological traces of the earliest inhabitants; and
- the plants and wildlife of the estuaries, those arms of the sea where saltwater and freshwater mix.
The barrier islands, however, are the glue that holds this mosaic of land and water together. The source of the brilliant white sand is rock material from the upland areas to the north. Over millenniums, streams and rivers moved the weathered remains of these rocks down to the sea. There are several theories as to how the islands were formed from this sand. All theories involve wave and wind action and fluctuating sea levels shaping the barrier islands that lie parallel to the gulf coast.
These islands are ever-changing, moving constantly to the west. Littoral currents wear away the eastern ends and build up the western ends. Violent storms cause overwash that rearranges large amounts of sand. Constant winds, on a smaller scale, shift and build dunes. Change by the winds is slowed only by the protective covering of grasses and other vegetation growing on the dune line nearest the gulf. The elaborate stem and root system of the sea oat, in particular, is vital to the protection and stabilization of barrier islands. So important in fact, that the picking or disturbing of sea oats and other vegetation is strictly prohibited. Barrier islands are just that, "barriers." They effectively reduce the destructive force of violent storms before reaching the mainland. They provide quiet waters behind them for valuable marine life, and their long stretches of beach invite you to swim, walk, surf, fish, and just relax.
When Europeans first arrived on these shores in the early 1500s, they reported finding a rich native American culture. At Naval Live Oaks in Florida an unusually rich collection of Indian village sites, middens (trash piles), and other remains have been the focus of archeological investigations that continue to add to our understanding of earlier inhabitants and to trace human history in the area. Today the historic sites, whether they be village locations, ruins of 19th-century forts, or concrete gun emplacements, are protected on the barrier islands and the nearby mainland.
Discovery of this part of the New World was followed by a struggle between colonial powers for its control. Both Spain, in the mid-1500s, and France, about 1700, attempted to establish settlements in present-day Mississippi. The rivalry came to a peak in the early 1800s when the young United States cast covetous eyes on this territory. By 1821 the United States had acquired the last of West Florida and the colonial era ended.
The next year the United States began plans to develop Pensacola into a major naval base with protecting fortifications. The only action the forts saw, however, came during the Civil War. Beginning in the last years of the 19th century, fortifications continued to be developed and updated along the coast. They were manned up to the end of World War II, when the concept of coastal fortifications became obsolete.
This then is Gulf Islands National Seashore, a park rich in cultural and natural history opportunities. Whatever you do or however long you stay, we hope that you enjoy your visit.
The Life of a Barrier Island
Barrier islands are special places. They appear permanant and static but in fact are continually changing, moving parallel to the mainland and toward or away from it. They buffer the mainland from storms, but storms may cause a particular island to disappear or split in two. Or storms may push a dune line clear across an island as Hurricane Fredric did in 1979 on parts of Santa Rosa Island.
Despite all these transitory qualities, life grabs hold on these islands as if it meant to hang on forever. Salt is one of several factors determining the kind and abundance of plant life. Near the gulf, plants, such as the sea oats, which are tolerant of high salt levels can grow. Behind the primary dune, shrubs and some trees can be found, but they never grow much higher than the dunes that protect them from the salt spray. Farther back, freshwater collects in marshes among old dunes and supplies trees with water.
Animal life on these barrier islands, too, is limited by the plant life, which provides food and protection. This is a special little world extraordinarily affected by the whims of nature. Behind barrier islands the waters of the sound and bayou are less salty. And nutrients washed down from the mainland support a rich marine life. Here shrimp and fishes valuable to commercial fishermen move through many of their life cycles. Protection is the key word. The barrier islands give shelter to rich plant and animal communities on the islands, in the sound and bayou, and on the mainland itself.

By David Hylton,
Public Relations Specialist
It would be easy to jump to the conclusion based on the headline that Mardi Gras and ChildFund International have nothing in common. That's pretty much true, but taking the lessons learned from a Twitter experiment from Tom Martin, a 15-year veteran of the marketing industry, I hope we can let you know more about ChildFund International.
Tom was a speaker this past weekend at Social South, a social media conference I attended in Birmingham, Ala. Earlier this year Tom was on a mission to change people's perceptions of Mardi Gras. Many people think of Mardi Gras as a place to drink, throw beads and do a lot of other non-family friendly things. There's a whole other side to Mardi Gras though, and in a five-day span Tom posted 185 tweets on Twitter to help spread the message that the event can be for families, too. In the end, his experiment was successful. For the full details on his experience, click here to read how the experiment started and here for the results. I was amazed.
So how does this tie in to ChildFund? In October we're planning to bring you a series of blogs that highlight our programs in each of the 31 countries where we work. Right now we're calling it "31 in 31" – 31 countries in 31 days. While listening to Tom speak over the weekend I realized that our plan needs your input before we start.
We know what we want to say about many of the countries we work in, but what will you get out of it? We know about ChildFund and you know about ChildFund, but do the perceptions match? We want "31 in 31" to be an experience – a virtual tour of sorts of the ChildFund International world. But what do you want to see? Blogs from youth? Lots of photos? In the next few days, we'd love to hear from you to give you what you want to see. And if you have a better name than "31 in 31" we'd like to hear that, too.
Click here to visit the "Places" section of our Web site that has information about each of our countries. Visit that page to shape your questions, comments and suggestions and then come back to this blog and leave your thoughts. Then in October check back for "31 in 31" to learn more!
This is in response to your post on FB for ideas for blog articles.
1) Personal stories – from a spiritual/human standpoint, personal stories of children and families you have helped or are helping are always welcomed and well-received. We want to see what our dollars are doing – in *real* people's lives. From a marketing standpoint, human interest remains one of the most popular forms of media which nearly always garners the most attention.
2) do you have heroes? Are there volunteers, websites, individuals, sponsors who go above and beyond the 'call of duty' to help your organization to provide much-needed help to children and families in need? Who are they? What are their names? Do they have kids? Why are they doing this? What impact have they had? Again, personal and human interest and it helps who support your organization see the real people behind the real work carried on with the help of our dollars.
3) What do you need? **Specifically** what do you need to help your organization carry on its mission and work? We all know that money enables the work to continue, but there are many out here who are struggling to make ends meet. These same people have talents and skills – be it marketing, social media, web design, holistic/allopathic healing skills, PR, or one of a hundred other skills that maybe your organization could use to help better our world. Telling us additional ways we can help which are not monetary would allow those of us hurting financially do to our part in helping you make this world a better place. It could be as simple as re-tweeting your url and your mission – posting on our blogs about childfund, telling our friends, doing phone or neighborhood canvassing, fundraising car washes and bake sales – the list is virtually endless. But we need to know what you need, want and would allow.
4) have a designated person and means of contacting you if we want to volunteer time, effort and skills. We need to know the best way to offer our help.
5) Show us your staff – in your series – both in words and in pictures – introduce us to the folks who run childfund.org. We'd like to 'meet' them.
Most importantly to me – is let me help. I want to make a difference but I need to know what is needed – and I know I speak for an awful lot of us out here who have the will and desire but do not know the path.
Thank you for asking us – and sorry this comment is so long! 🙂
Many blessings,
Sorry – one more…
How about follow-up stories on kids your organization helped years ago – what are they doing now? How did childfund make a difference in their lives and help them to grow, learn, succeed and become an integral and vital part of their communities?
I'd love to get a 'feel' for the various countries! I'd love to have some interactive pages with local music, some traditional recipes we can cook and get the sense of what the culture is like in each country.
Thanks for the comments. Keep them coming!
I'd like to see answers from the children to "What are your dreams?" In this way, much of what is needed on deeper levels can be revealed for the assistance to helping children achieve those dreams.
Thanx to Dee above for summing up everything else I was thinking of saying!
It would be great to gain insight about each country and its struggles while also highlighting a child who has benefitted from the work of Childfund. Not only would we benefit from a little education about worldly issues, but we would see how your work positively impacts the lives of the children you serve.
Nothing is more rewarding than helping these children. I did this several years ago and even went and visited the child that I was helping. I will never forget it. I got to a point that I could no longer afford to send the monthly payment but it was a great experience while it lasted.
It's noble cause for every one to helping those kids.

Meet Captain Dave
How did you become a captain? I originally started working on boats as an EMT. I received my Captains License 17 years ago. I also hold an engineering license which is coming in handy now as we are preparing the ship to head to Jacksonville. I am also currently a firefighter/paramedic.
Tell us a little about your past experience as a captain? I used to run supply ships for the oil fields. I also owned a marine towing and salvage company. And I have been the captain on several casino ships over the years.
Can you tell us a little about the work you are currently doing on Victory II? Well, we really are upgrading the entire ship. The work everyone is doing cosmetically to the ship is amazing and everyone will be very impressed. As far as the marine side we are doing some upgrades to the generator systems, upgrading the safety equipment, and preparing the ship for the coast guard.
Would you like to say anything to our new friends in Jacksonville? We will be there soon. We can't wait to get up there and get running. And I can say that you will be very impressed with the ship. This is the nicest ship we have seen come through Jacksonville. Can't wait to see everyone.

Yeni Duzen
July 6, 1996, in Lefkosa, CyprusAdali, a political columnist with the leftist newspaper Yeni Duzen in Turkish-occupied Northern Cyprus, was fatally shot in front of his home. He had written critically about the Northern Cypriot government's immigration policies enabling Turkish nationals to live and work in Cyprus. A little-known group called the Turkish Revenge Brigade claimed responsibility for his assassination, but he had also received threats for a recent investigative report on an antiquities heist said to involve a Turkish general.

Metaphor Madness
By Tom Purcell
Now that I've had a chance to think about it, I probably could have used a different metaphor.
This is going to be good. Please explain.
I've been coaching our high school's basketball team for a long time. We don't have the most talented kids, but we have the most heart. I've developed quite a knack for firing them up before big games.
Firing up?
We were about to play our archenemy in our biggest game of the year -- but our kids wouldn't get the lead out. They should have been warming up, but instead sat around, shooting the breeze.
That's no good.
I understood why, though. They were still shellshocked over the loss we suffered a few days before. That game was murder.
Shellshocked! Murder!
Well, they figured I was going to console them, but I came at them with both barrels blazing. I told them point-blank that they were at fault for the loss. They were not prepared and went off
That's right. I called out my guard for having an itchy trigger finger -- he'd rather shoot than pass and he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a bazooka.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, after I shamed them a while, I figured it was time to start building them back up. I told them we're bloody but unbowed. Then I threw down the gauntlet. I told them it was no time to retreat; it was time to
That's right. We needed to bite the bullet, after all. We had a real pitched battle ahead of us. Our opposition had a lot of weapons. If we had any hope of beating them, we had to draw first blood.
How did the game go?
Son of a gun if we didn't annihilate our archenemy! We started slow in the first period, but our kids stuck to their guns. The momentum shifted our way. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. But that's when my metaphors got me into trouble.
I assembled our kids after the game. I praised them for their excellent play. I told them the rest of the season was up to them -- it was a shot in the dark, but if we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot, we might make the playoffs.
And that got you in trouble?
One kid's father overheard my speech. He's had me in his sights all year and finally had a clear shot. He complained to the school that my metaphors were vitriolic. He complained to the police that I was inciting violence. I was suspended as a coach and the cops may press charges.
In these highly sensitive times, it might be a good idea to choose your metaphors more carefully.
That may be true. Nobody ever accused me of being a great orator or choosing the best metaphors. Still, they're just metaphors. But apparently weak-minded people think we're too stupid to understand what metaphors really mean? Really? Have you ever seen anyone shoot fish in a barrel?
A fair point.
Everything is backward, if you ask me. In the process of trying to attribute rational, political motives to a crazy man, people in the media and political arena make themselves look, well, crazy. Now they're afraid to use such metaphors at all. They're missing the target. They need to take more careful aim.
You can't help yourself with the metaphors, can you?
Not by a long shot.

Week 5
Week 4
Week 3
Week 2
Week 1
I've always been a big fan of the snes-era jRPGs and thought about creating a series of discussions based around the flaws of the genre and how they could be assessed.
Feel free to discuss either:
- The Problem (helping identify the root cause of why this isn't fun)
- The Solutions (either games you know who have found a workaround, or ideas of your own)
Whatever you feel like discussing here, please make sure that you add sufficient explanation/arguments to your logic as I take this intellectual exercise seriously and believe others will too.
This week's topic: Safe Havens.
The jrpg genre generally alternates between dungeons (exploration) and towns (safe haven(s))
Earlier jRPGs have always been struggling with the duality of towns:
- To make them fun, they have to be an abstraction of reality and showcase only that which is important, thus minimizing unecessary movement to reach critical locations
- To make them real and help suspension of disbelief, they need to be populated, and thus, make critical information or services that much harder to find.
Most games have erred on the side of realism in that regard, making it more confusing. The "extra" content ends up being used as filler "Welcome to (insert town name here)" has almost become a convention...
I'd like to list a few ideas that I think could help in that regard:
- Chrono Trigger (the game I seem to quote every week) has had an interesting implementation. The villages are broken down by building on the worldmap thus avoiding to have to design levels for streets and fill them with unecessary npcs. Additionally, only a few buildings are accessible, which amounts to a "best of both worlds" : the village seems big enough to be real, but only lets you go where you must, and provides a very fast way to do so.
- This hasn't been made as far as I can think of, but is remotely related to the Bloodmoon expansion of Morrowind: If the game would take place on a scarcely populated island, it would makes sense to have only 1 actual city, and everything else being "tradespots" or the likes. The player is up against the wild and has but a few allies he can count on, and mercantile ones at that. The further you get from the city, the less you get support from them.
- Another attempt to eliminate the idea of "cities" altogether: a game that takes places on an island or continent with no cities. Instead, you deal with a man that has a boat and offers to take your goods with him to the city and return with what you need later. This could cause frustration as the players are used to instantaneous transactions, but I can see the fun in fetching very rare ingredients in-land, ask for defensive gear, and survive 3 days until the man gets back (could introduce a touch of survival gameplay too).
Have you seen games that attempt to redefine the concept of safe havens and either redefine its functions or implementation?
PS - Apologies for the delay on this one!

Ways to Pay for College Tuition: Home Equity Line of Credit
With the rising costs of college tuition, you're probably wondering how you can help your children pay for school. Even if you've been saving since they were young, you may not have enough put away to cover all their expenses. You can seek additional funding by having your children apply for available scholarship and grant opportunities as well as federal and private loans. However, if this isn't enough to cover everything, including room and board, tuition, books and travel costs – there may be another option to make up the difference.
Cover the gaps by paying for college with a home equity loan or line of credit
After you've explored typical college financial aid opportunities through the free application for federal student aid (FAFSA) and private loans, consider a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or loan to cover expenses beyond college tuition.
- Home Equity Line of Credit: A HELOC borrows against your home's equity. With a HELOC you can borrow only what you need when you need it during a set period of time (the draw period). This option allows you to borrow in periodic amounts that may be easier for you to pay back throughout the draw period or after, which may coincide with your children's graduation. HELOCs are not only helpful when paying for college; they can also be used for those extra expenses you may not have budgeted for. Keep in mind home equity lines of credit have an adjustable rate, which fluctuates with the prime rate. If you're concerned about fluctuating loan rates, consider a Capped-Rate HELOC, which has rates that fluctuate, but will not exceed a fixed rate.
- Home Equity Loans: These loans, sometimes called second mortgages, also borrow against the equity you have built up in your home but have a fixed interest rate and are usually tax deductible so it's a great option for parents. However, you should be cautious when taking out a second mortgage to pay for college tuition and expenses as you are putting your home up as collateral.
Apply for a home equity line of credit when paying for college
Once your children have begun applying to colleges, apply for a home equity line of credit. You can draw from the HELOC while they are in school for as much as you need to cover college tuition. Plus, since it's a revolving line of credit, you can borrow, pay it back and borrow again as needed within the draw period. This option might be particularly attractive if you have more than one college-bound child. Talk to your local banker to determine which option is right for you.

Alex Gibney has a gift for turning stories of corruption so thick they're nearly impenetrable into simple tales of unfettered greed and malfeasance. His Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) is a concise model of the form. The sober, unsettling Oscar-winner Taxi to the Dark Side (2007) addresses humanitarian concerns in the War on Terror with precision. His latest effort, about the fedoraed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, synthesizes the globe-trotting misdeeds of the free-marketeer into a rollicking two hours, but Casino Jack and the United States of Money never decides whether it's more keen to froth over Abramoff's gluttony or the pay-to-play system he helped to ingrain in Washington DC.
Recently vilified in The Yes Men Fix the World and just about every Michael Moore documentary, all the major proponents of second-wave free-enterprise economics — along with Abramoff, Ralph Reed, and Grover Norquist — are tidily condemned in Casino Jack, most effectively in a sequence where the alleged saviors of corporate power are implicated in a scandal outlawing Indian casinos in Texas to bolster the profits of another tribe's casino in a neighboring state. The hypocrisy is delicious, but for some reason Gibney doesn't dwell on it; instead, it's just one of many chapters of increasingly audacious money-laundering schemes (involving, for instance, a lifeguard who is made the president of a shadow organization purportedly run out of his home) punctuated by the predictably wry placement of pop songs (Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House") and archival film clips.
Gibney seems so swept up in the giddy excesses of Abramoff's lavish "research trips" for and kickbacks to congressmen, not to mention Abramoff's paranoid worldview and pricelessly obscene and incriminating e-mail records, that a hasty coda tying the parade of deregulatory conservative victories (largely orchestrated by Abramoff) to the ongoing financial crisis feels strangely undernourished. Similarly, the congressmen he snipes down (and, in the cases of Tom DeLay and Bob Ney — who both resigned in the wake of the Abramoff scandal — the people he interviews) get off too easily. There's enough moral outrage in Casino Jack to fill five separate, damning accounts of the corruption pervading our government, but perhaps too much for just one.

Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
(John Dewey)
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.
(George Washington)
Gig'em Aggies!! BTCO'77HOO t.u.!!
I hope this helps.Catholic Social Teaching
1. The Dignity of the Human Person
The dignity of the human person flows from his/her creation in God's image. This divine image gives sanctity to every human life. Consequently, every human being possesses an inalienable dignity and fundamental value that transcends gender, race, class, ethnicity and nationality.
We can only support human dignity and achieve healthy communities if we protect human rights. Every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human dignity, such as adequate food, housing, work, education, transportation, healthcare, and freedom of communication and expression. It follows, then, that the goods of the earth are meant to enhance human life and dignity ("universal destination of goods"). They are not meant to be counters in a competition to see who can amass the most, nor are they meant to be symbols of superiority. Owners who heedlessly idolize their goods (cf. Matthew 6:24, 19:21-26; Luke 16:13) become owned and enslaved by them. Only by recognizing that these goods are dependent on God the Creator and then directing their use to the common good, is it possible to give material goods their proper function as useful tools for the growth of individuals and peoples.
2. Common Good
Persons are both sacred and social; human dignity is realized in community. Every aspect of life in community is measured by how the dignity of each person is upheld.
This means that the community (society, economy, nation, world) must be structured to do the most good for all the persons who inhabit it. When each person focuses exclusively on his/her own personal gain, this does not result in a community that serves everyone. The poorer, weaker members of the group are denied the means and opportunities for a dignified life and everyone is treated as prey rather than as neighbor. Both personal and collective actions must be judged according to whether they promote the common good, not just one's own self-interest. Indeed, the authentic reason for government is to achieve the common good.
3. Preferential Option for People Who Are Poor
Because poorer members of the group do not have the same resources as wealthier, more powerful members, Catholic Social Teaching says that we must focus special attention on meeting the needs of those who are poor. When decisions are being made, extra weight should be given to helping people who are vulnerable and at the margins of society.
4. Solidarity
We are one human family despite boundary lines and prejudices. We are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, wherever they may be. Solidarity helps us see the "other" whether a person, group or nation as our neighbor, a "sharer," a "helper," without regard to age, race, gender, ethnicity, political persuasion or any other category. There is an interconnection among all peoples that demands we value and respect all.
5. Participation as a Basic Human Right
Given the dignity of each person, it follows that participation in decisions that affect us is a basic human right. This, in turn, suggests subsidiarity as a basic rule of social organization: decisions should be made as close as possible to the level of individual initiative in communities and institutions. Families, local community groups, local governments and small businesses should be fostered and their input considered. Larger government structures have an important role to play, but that role only occurs when greater social coordination, regulation and efficiency are necessary for the common good. Indeed, the principle of subsidiarity from the same Latin root ("subsidium") that gives us "subsidy" requires larger government structures to support, promote and develop those forms of social organization that are closer to the level of individual initiative.
6. Dignity of Work
Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing participation in God's creation. It is a way to express the uniqueness of the person in a way that contributes to the good of the whole. If the dignity of work is to be protected, then the basic rights of workers must be respected the right to productive work, to decent and fair wages, to the organization and joining of unions, and to economic initiative. The economy must serve people, not the other way around.
7. Stewardship of God's Creation
We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation; indeed, we are "co-creators" of the world we touch. This means that we need to stay in right relation with the physical world. Because of the greater impact that human beings have on the world, we have a special responsibility in our use of material things: the production, transport, sale and disposal of goods must be respectful of ecological systems and the all that depends on those systems. This is not merely do-gooder benevolence to species other than ourselves, it is a requirement for our own survival. We simply cannot live without clean air, clean water and a healthy environment. Our earthly resources are limited; we need to use them in a way that allows regeneration (replacing resources when possible, like growing new trees) and sustainability (using resources prudently so that they will last as long as possible).

Buzz, I see that there is one quotation of "chapter & verse" ... the rest is how the RC church interprets some very basic teachings.
It does not convince me that being charitable and helping our fellow man is a responsibility of govt. And, when church and politics intertwine, you have the situation of the RC being in favor of "the common good" which is also a tenet of communism and socialism ...one of which is known for its atheistic bent and the other for at least its secular bent. And Obama may believe in distributing the wealth, but he also voted for 3rd trimester abortion.
So, if one uses the "common good" as a reason to support Ds, it runs head on into the abortion issue, too. A very good reason for govt not to interfere with religion; and religion not to align itself with a particular political influence.
Render unto God that which is God's; and unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.
Rand was an atheist, but her value of the individual is no less than the Christian value of each individual. My take on Rand was that she did not discount the value of individuals less endowed with the capabilities of the "stars" of her books. She acknowledged value of each individual's contribution at whatever level their abilities were. I'd have to re-read the book to pull out the names of the characters that exhibited that.

Pres tying to blame Paul Ryan for the drought bill being held up Another LIE. The Rep's signed off on this two weeks ago its now held up with the Dems ) Good old Harry Reid) and of course everyone needed their vacation time they have worked so hard.... oh thats right they havent past a budget in the last 3 years.
I bet Obama cannot stand all this attention Paul Ryan is getting. Wait till Ryan gets to FL where his Mom lives and shes on medicare.
Obama can go preach his plan "SHARE PROSPERITY" socialism as its best

You have to be kidding. Rand did not preach respect for the individual, she preaches hero worship. She argues that altruism is immoral and that selfishness is the ultimate good. It is immoral to do anything but what is strictly in your own self interest. To her there is no greater good than individual self-satisfaction. There is nothing christian about that. I read Atlas Shrugged when I was in high school. I thought it was a great book. Recently I picked it up and read it again and I was shocked at how juvenile and how evil it is. I actually could not get more than about 2/3 through it the second time.

Buzz, it just goes to show how different people can see different things in what one reads between the lines.
If altruism is "giving" without concern for one's personal selfishness is the ultimate good. I think that Jesus was the only human who had true altruism. When a richer person gives to a poorer person, there is always a personal satisfaction. You feel good about doing what you perceive as being the "right thing." A parent who sacrifices something for the well-being of their child, gains personal satisfaction. A fireman who saves a life, feels personal gratification.
I am NOT saying that feeling good about doing good is wrong. Not at all! What I am saying is that I am hard-pressed to find any act we do is purely altruistic ... although it may appear to be.
But that is what I see, and you come away with a different view. That's okay in my book. I took one of those personality tests some years ago, and I fell into a group that accounts for only 2% of the general population. So, I've gotten used to having the other 98% not agree with me on any number of points.
However, what we do agree upon, from your previous posts, is that Atlas did demonstrate what road we travel when we move toward assuming govt is the best avenue for doing good deeds. And we should not forget that Rand came from a place where communism ultimately did not work. When money and power are concentrated in govt that has power to "punish" for non-compliance, individuals get short shrift in the deal. We see it in the way that lobbyists of every type try (and succeed) to influence who ends up with the govt power to mete out the punishments (laws).

Bouchaine Vineyards is established in the site of the oldest continually operated winery in Carneros in the southern end of the Napa Valley. Bouchaine is dedicated to the pursuit of enticing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, whose grapes are best suited to the climate and soils of our beautiful 100-acre estate vineyard. Located just north of the San Pablo and San Francisco Bays, the vineyard climate is directly influenced by the fog that rolls in each night, and the shallow, clay loam soils are perfectly suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. View all Bouchaine Wines
About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Thank You Pals, Roadkill, Cary & Chris or 3 phases of training groups.
With our summer of training and testing fleeting and the start of the hunting season knocking on the door (6 days here) I find myself in a reflective state of mind. This summer, partially because of Roadkills initiative with the spring training jamboree he chaired. Hosted by Pals on Ryder's Wetland. And partially because of how things fell into place in the retriever club I am a member of. I helped organize 2 similar training days up here. Though often talked about at every years general meeting, we had not had a club training day for many years. Even though retriever clubs near us seem to have them on a monthly bases. And Cary, who accepted Stan's request / challenge, picked up the jamboree torch and after made his wonderful, motivational offer for whomever does the 3rd jamboree. Your actions motivated me and I hope others in other retriever clubs in our RTF world. I have asked the club I am a member of to put 3 days on the 2014 calendar. At each of the humble 2 I was a part of we (the club) saw brand new people and walked away with a new member or two each time.
These groups are a good thing!
Every time we have a new person pop in her on RTF we ask what part of the world they are in. We try to find them a club and a training group. Yet it seems sometimes a clubs very best trainers do not come to the groups. I stayed up all night thinking about this and it dawned on me. I think, like the Danny Farmer 3 phases of dog training. We have 3 phases of training group participation.
1st when we are all brand new and look in wide wonder at the odd group of people from all different walks of life all gathered together in a marshy field. The wingers and tossers are as foreign as a store bought sling shot is to an 8 year old farm boy. Everything from popper rounds to bird boy help are a new never seen before item. The notion that all these people are there just to help you and your dog. And all they ask in return is you stand in the field for a while and play with the cool giant sling shot can truly be mind blowing. And it should be. This is how the new folks learn how to do things and how not to do things.
2nd happens more slowly. Over time people make friends in the club. They learn who they like to train with and who they do not. They start to have gear of their own. Holding blinds and remote tossers, bird pens and training ground access. They start to feel they are able to advance their dogs more easily on their own. When they like and were they like. They come to enjoy the Splendid Isolation of being all alone in a favorite field in the morning. Nobody but the dogs. No waiting, no bad throws, no late comers or early leavers. No taking the time to train somebody else's dogs. Just a Pure Morning of dog training. It is a wonderful thing. And so slowly, these people stop going to the big club groups. I think at some point this happens to all of us.
3rd happens the slowest of all. And sometimes happens on accident. Everybody needs the big group now and again if for nothing other than to expose a young dog to a big group before dropping $$$ on a Road to Nowhere. So the isolated trainer comes to a group maybe once a summer. Or gathers a larger group of club contacts to come to the isolated trainer. So he/she is still training on her/his private grounds, but with friends. And then, sometimes by accident. sometimes out of selfishness of not wanting a bad throw for their dog. Or a wild dog next to them in line. The isolated trainer shows a brand new person how to set up a tosser. Or explains how a bird boy can help a dog simply by stepping towards or away from the bird. Simple guidance to a noob in a holding blind, about how to use a holding blind. Or showing a pup its first live bird.
And slowly I feel, these simple trivial acts generate a heartfelt thank you from a new person with wide eyes and a puppy. And the phase 2er smiles and feels good. And it dawns on them. While it is good to work at home, alone and advance our dogs. The big club group is not just for dog training. It is for people training.
So thank you Nancy and Stan and Cary for motivating me and thank you to our humble janitor for making those jamboree contacts possible.
To whom ever does the third. I hope you are able to use Cary's offer. But I also hope the wide varied corners of rtf go for it as well.
Maybe a 2Tall southwest desert mountain jam or a Northwest spotted owl jam (that is a POTUS inside joke)
Ether way, Stan, you started the jam. Good Job. We're Jammin',

Growth-promoting antibiotics: On the way out?
In 1950, Science News ran a story showing for the first time that a potent antibiotic could do more than knock out disease. New animal experiments, we reported, "cast the antibiotic in a spectacular new role" as a livestock growth promoter. Lacing the food of hogs with trace quantities of this drug increased meat yields by up to 50 percent, scientists at Lederle Laboratories had reported at a...
E. coli evade detection by going dormant
Researchers think they now know why a particularly virulent form of E. coli that swept through northern Germany last May was so hard to trace: The germs responsible eluded detection by going into a self-induced deep sleep.
Two new studies show that when stressed, E. coli can turn off most signs of life. That's a problem for food-safety officials because their germ-screening...
Obesity messes with the brain
Obesity subtly diminishes memory and other features of thinking and reasoning even among seemingly healthy people, an international team of scientists reports. At least some of these impairments appear reversible through weight loss. Researchers also report one likely mechanism for those cognitive deficits: damage to the wiring that links the brain's information-processing regions.
Big Fishing Yields Small Fish
Sharks, billfish, cod, tuna and other fish-eating fish — the sea's equivalents to lions on the Serengeti — dominated the marine world as recently as four decades ago. They culled sick, lame and old animals and kept populations of marine herbivores in check, preventing marine analogs of antelopes from overgrazing their environment.
But the reign of large predators now...
PCBs may impair fertility
PCB exposure may interfere with a woman's ability to get pregnant, a new study of women undergoing in vitro fertilization suggests. The study of 765 women found that those whose blood contained the highest levels of a particular form of polychlorinated biphenyl — one known as PCB 153 — were 41 percent less likely to give birth than women with the lowest levels.
One contributing factor...
Mice robbed of darkness fatten up
When it comes to weight management, the timing of dining is pivotal, a new study indicates. At least in rodents, food proved especially fattening when consumed at the wrong time of day.
As nocturnal animals, mice normally play and forage at night, often in complete darkness. With even dim chronic illumination of their nighttime environment, however, the animals' hormonal dinner bells...

Coffee perks up memory and balance in geriatric animals
CHICAGO Millions of Americans start their day with a cup of coffee and then reach for refills when their energy or attention flags. But new research in rats suggests that for the aging brain, coffee may serve as more than a mere stimulant. It can boost memory and the signaling essential to motor coordination.
But here's the rub: If the same effects hold for humans, downing a morning...
Salty Old Cellulose: Tiny fibers found in ancient halite deposits
Researchers have unearthed the planet's oldest-known intact biological macromolecules, microscopic bits of cellulose from 253-million-year-old salt deposits in the southwestern United States.
The remarkable preservation of the material suggests that under the right conditions, cellulose could last more than 1 billion years. Such a long-lived molecule, a chain of simple sugars,...
Power from heat
The thermoelectric effect can produce small amounts of electricity from almost any source of heat, but its low efficiency has so far limited its uses. A team has now found a simple way to make one thermoelectric alloy more efficient.
When two ends of a stick of a thermoelectric material are exposed to different temperatures, a voltage appears. The electrons in the stick act like the...
Floral Shocker: Blooms shake roots of flowering-plant family
Imagine discovering a mammal without mammary glands or an insect with eight legs. Aquatic herbs in the genus Hydatella pose a similar paradox—they lack a defining developmental feature of flowering plants, raising questions about their evolution and rampant speciation during the past 135 million years.
Evolutionary biologists group together organisms that share unique traits,...

Okay so there's pretty much no point in writing a review for this huge piece of dukey of an anime. Why? Because the people who are gonna watch it don't care about the story or the characters. They just wanna see anime tiddies. So I'll break it down for everyone. If you answer yes to any of the following, then you'll enjoy this terrible anime. -Do you enjoy rape jokes? -Do you think a guy sexually assaulting women is funny? -Will you watch a show regardless of its quality if it has huge bouncing anime tits? -Do you hate yourself? -Did you like Highschool of the Dead? If you answered no to all of... See full review
Everyone now and then I cannot fully review a show because it has a very narrow appeal. Prison School is one of those shows. If you're into BDSM, seeing boys get the shit kicked out of them, or ecchi, then Prison School is for you. There's very little to this show outside its insane, wacky humor, so if you want something with a little more substance, i.e., actual characters you can relate to and a decent plot, then I advise you look elsewhere.See full review
I REALLY hate to judge an anime before seeing how it plays out, but Persona 4 The Golden Animation is an exception. For those of you who have neither played the original game nor scene the original anime, DO NOT WATCH THIS. The Golden Animation is trash compared to its predessecors. For those of you who were fond of the video game and the original anime, you will be disapointed. The pacing is screwed up and they cut out a lot of important scenes. It's hard to to mention some of the scenes it skips because they are really important later on and I don't want to spoil anything. Here's what they took out... See full review
I just want to say that I enjoyed the first season to a large extent. The second season is a whole other story. Let's divide the show into two parts; the first 3/4 of the season and then the last couple of episodes. The majority of the second season was good although it does have some flaws. The most notable flaw is Saori's pointless back story. Why is it pointless? BECAUSE SHE IS BARELY IN THE SECOND SEASON! Other than that the majority of the second season holds up pretty well. The biggst problem with the show is in the last couple of episodes. While it's a very funny, Oreimo ultimately collapsed... See full review
Before you read what I hate to say about this show, please read what I have to say about reviews. A good review critiques the show on an objective level and determines whether a show has the characteristics that deem a show good or bad. Just because a show is "bad" or "good" doesn't mean a person is incapable of enjoying it. Please understand that if you enjoyed Mirai Nikki TV, I will not attack you in this review. Thanks for reading ^_^ Normally I don't like to write a review of an anime before seeing the whole thing, but for this show I had to make an exception. If you haven't... See full review
Since the show is short, I'll keep this review short. With episodes only five minutes long, you can't really fit in much plot or character development, or anything. Except fan-servce, which is the only thing this show has. If you like ecchi, and really crude humor, then you might get some laughs out of this show.See full review
Ping Pong Club is best thought of as a "B Movie". Everything about it is terrible: the chacters, the animation, the plot...etc. But it's so bad, that it is funny. If you like watching "B Movies"/shows that are just so bad it's funny, then you will probably enjoy watching Ping Pong Club. If you don't like bad movies/TV shows, then this show will be more painful than a root canal without anethestics.See full review
From an objective standpoint, Kampfer is an otrocious anime. Characters: -No character development -Mikoto Konduo served no purpose. They could have removed her from the anime and it would not have changed anything. -Nothing makes the characters standout. They are all average and bland. -No reason is given for why the main characters like the male Natsuru, they just do. Other harem animes (Kampfer should be listed as a harem anime) actually give some sort of reason for the girls to obsess over the main male character like in Rosario + Vampire (Tskune is sincere). Sound & Animation: -The sound... See full review
Overall, Redline is an ejoyable anime and I would recomend it to anyone who enjoys action movies (espeically anime). Redline's strong point is definetly the animation and racing sequences, which will have you on the edge of your seat. Sometimes sound effects can be a deal breaker, like when guns sound more like bb guns, but this was not the case. The sound effects compliment the animation very well and I was very impressed overall. The plot is straight forward, a race car driver named Sweet JP is out to win Redline, the most dangerous and highly regarded race in the galaxy. In all honesty, the plot is... See full review
In all honesty, Bleach is extremely hard to review because there is such a drastic change in quality partway into the anime. I would say that the first part of the anime (prior to Rukia being captured) is very well done and I would give it roughly an 8.5 out of 10. The characters are solid, and their interactions are humorous. Once Rukia is kidnapped and everyone goes to the spirit world, the anime suffers a serious decline in quality. This is because the manga hadn't finished so they made filler episodes to kill time while the author made more volumes. As result, several episodes go by where nothing is... See full review

"I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again"
We had a great summer here upstate NY, cant complain at all..I am sure the decent weather will continue until Oct
As much as I have the paintball bug, the golf bug is biting too!!! Augusta in April gets me going every time and it won't be long before the clubs are in the back of the Tahoe for this year! Gotta get to the range and brush the winter rust of the ol' swing.
Tiger prowling at the Masters, it is going to be a great weekend.
When i lived in Mia i had a home at Casa del Sol across from Doral C C. Had a par 3 with a lake (and bass) in my back yard.
In Miami the president of the company i worked for was a golf freak and always entered me in celebrity golf events. I got to play with Tony Nathan once which was a blast. I also traveled a lot on business nationwide and always took my clubs.
On one occasion at a course in Riverside Ca i was forced to play with a threesome of Japanese businessmen who spoke little English and bowed when ever i hit a good shot. Golf's a blast.
One time me and a buddy drove up to Disney World in Orlando to play in a tournament at the course there. After the event we ended up at a lounge at the hotel talking to two gorgeous ladies.
Being gentlemen we invited them up to our room and soon separated into couples on separate beds. At this point one of the girls says how much you guys want to spend ? DISNEY HOOKERS what's the world coming to ?
Great Masters. Can not believe they played so well in the rain.
It was a great Masters. The penalty on Tiger was bogus in my opinion. If he had been short and hit the water fine but the poor bastard hit the flag stick, 99.99% of the time that shot ends up within 6 feet.

Midtown East
Spanning from Sixth Avenue to the East River, the buzzing neighborhood of Midtown East is one of Manhattan's liveliest areas during work hours.
But as soon as the clock strikes 5PM and workers head home, the crowds plummet and virtually disappear. So if you check out your prospective Midtown East apartment during the day, you may also want to stop by at night before you turn in your new lease agreement.

The start of the traditional wedding season is here and with it the questions: What to wear and what to buy the newlyweds? The average couple registers for 153 items, according to TheKnot.com, and kitchen gear and small appliances are popular requests.
To help you sort through the choices, Consumer Reports picked some of the top-rated housewares from our tests ranging in price from $60 to $450.

Decked out in Swarovski crystals, the Cusinart Crystal SCC-1000 Limited Edition Perfec Temp coffeemaker, $185, can make a statement on any countertop. But the 14-cup drip machine also makes a great cup of coffee. Brewing performance was excellent and it maintained the industry-recommended 195 degrees F for five or six minutes. Setup, operation, and cleanup were a cinch, and we found this model's carafe very easy to handle.
An old adage says it's bad luck to give knives to newlyweds but with grooms often participating in gift selection, more knives are appearing on registries. Our top-rated set is the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Professional "S", $330. This set of seven knives had excellent cutting performance and the handles are well balanced and comfortable. A bonus is the free lifetime warranty.
(See also: Online sites with the best return policies)
The KitchenAid Classic stand mixer, $200, and its brandmate the KitchenAid Artisan, $285, are perennials on wedding registries and we recommend both models. But in our tests, the Breville BEM800XL, $300, bested both KitchenAids with its excellent marks for mixing, whipping and kneading. It doesn't resemble a KitchenAid but its stainless finish has its own sleek appeal.
You can spend a lot on a toaster but that doesn't mean it'll make good toast. But the two-slice Cuisinart CPT-420, $80, and the four-slice Cuisinart CPT-440, $92.50, were champs at browning bread evenly in successive batches.
If the couple wants a coordinated countertop, the KitchenAid Pro Line KMT2203CA, $300, which matches the stand mixer, also makes good toast. And for cooking options such as baking and broiling, our top toaster oven is the Breville Smart Oven BOV800XL, $250.
For couples who like to entertain, the Ninja Master Prep Professional QB1004, $60, can churn out some delicious icy drinks and was rated excellent in overall performance. And at that price we named it a CR Best Buy.
It's a good choice if you're giving the couple a check but don't want to arrive empty handed. Of course, you can spend a lot more than that on the cult favorite, the Vitamix 5200, $480. The 11-speed blender is great at preparing smoothies, crushing ice and making puree. And it has an online following of folks who share tips and recipes.
Weddings can also be the time to go off registry and give the couple something they may not have thought of but that would make their life easier. With its excellent steaming rate, the Reliable IronMaven J420 steam ironing system, $299, will save the newlyweds hours of ironing time. And its large water tank allows for less frequent refills. In our tests, the results were wrinkle-free.
Another unconventional but useful gift is the Shaklee BestWater MTS2000 82300 countertop water filter, $260. It can save the couple from lugging in crates of bottled water and filters large amounts of water without modifying the plumbing system. And you can give the bride and groom his and hers water bottles.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Ole Miss takes its first crack at a sixth bowl-bid clinching victory against one of the SEC East leaders on the road, and Mississippi State tries to regroup with a dangerous opponent coming to Starkville.
Ole Miss visits No. 7 Georgia for the first time since 2007, and Mississippi State entertains SEC newcomer Texas A&M.
That's how Week 10 of college football shapes up locally.
MSU, ranked No. 17 by the AP this week, had climbed to No. 13 in the AP Top 25, No. 12 in the coaches poll and No. 11 in the BCS rankings before falling from the ranks of the unbeaten in a 38-7 loss at No. 1 Alabama on Saturday night.
While the Bulldogs (7-1, 3-1 SEC) were struggling with the Crimson Tide, Texas A&M, ranked No. 16 this week, was having an easier time farther south in Alabama where it defeated Auburn 63-21.
The Aggies (6-2, 3-2 SEC) lead the SEC in total offense, rushing offense and scoring offense.
After ending a 16-game SEC losing streak against struggling Auburn, the Rebels posted their second-straight league win against Arkansas in Little Rock.
After early-season issues, the Razorbacks looked to be getting things together – getting healthier and protecting the football – after a 24-7 win at Auburn and a dominant 49-7 home win against Kentucky.
But the Rebels rallied from an early 10-0 deficit and won on the game's final play.
on the rise
Georgia rose five spots in the AP rankings on Sunday after upsetting then-No. 3 Florida 17-9.
Ole Miss is 5-3 overall, 2-2 in SEC play, and first-year coach Hugh Freeze likes how his team has come together since a 66-31 loss to Texas in Week 3.
Freeze: "I ripped them in our Sunday meeting, and it was the first time they'd seen that side of me. It was in a good way, but it was to say, 'Hey, it's time for you to expect more of yourself after watching that film. If you can't tackle the guy after a 5-yard gain because of physics, that's one thing. But if you choose to fit the wrong gap, that's a whole different thing.
"If you want to have success in this program and be on the field, you've got to do your job, expect to do your job and expect to do it well.'"

Editor jailed on retaliatory charges in Azerbaijan
New York, August 5, 2013--Authorities in Azerbaijan should stop their practice of jailing journalists in retaliation for their work, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. A district court in Baku on Friday ordered the imprisonment of Sardar Alibeili, chief editor of the independent newspaper P.S. Nota, for two months pending investigation of a criminal hooliganism charge, according to news reports. Alibeili, who has faced trumped-up charges in the past, faces up to seven years in jail on the new charge, the reports said.

- At Christmas dinner, my nephew gave me the lecture about backing up my data.
- Yesterday I read about Amy's vanished hard-drive at We Tree.
- Last night, I read the ultimate prod at GeneaBloggers: back up and win a prize!
I had automatic back-ups scheduled, but at some point my 160 GB external hard drive seemed to be filling up... with weekly full back-ups! ...even though I had set it to back up changed files only. When I tried dragging some of the excess to the Trash, it appeared to me that the files on my computer drive, not the external drive, were being deleted. In panic, I pulled the plug, literally, on that whole operation. At that point I turned off the automatic back-ups and gave up the whole scary and perplexing process!
When I read that Amy's freshly repaired laptop was returned to her with a new--and blank--hard drive in it, I must say I squirmed in my comfy desk chair a bit. There but for fortune...! My own computer was mailed off to Dell for repairs earlier this year. By dumb luck, I had asked enough questions of the phone tech ahead of time. I told him I was concerned about the lack of security for my data, and he replied that they didn't need the hard drive in order to repair the problems I was having. He directed me in removing the hard drive from my laptop. It was a matter of a couple screws, as I recall. The hardest part was figuring out where to put the drive and the screws so I'd be able to find them when the computer came back.
Now, in the light of what happened to Amy, I consider this a key piece of advice for myself and anyone else who is sending a computer off for repairs:
- Before your laptop goes anywhere for repairs, ask if you can REMOVE YOUR HARD DRIVE and send the computer without it!
So, what am I doing at this very moment? Yep, I'm creating a back-up. At least I think I am. The computer says I am. But I'm not sure how this can actually be accomplished, considering the amount of data that needs to be backed up, and the amount of empty space on my external drive. Even as a practitioner of fuzzy math, I am pretty sure you can't park a Winnebago in a one-car garage.
I guess we'll find out.
