The drug based Industrial Medicine approach to suppressing distressing symptoms often ignores the systemic root causes of disease. As much as 80% of all disease is caused, at least in part, by nutritional deficiencies. These imbalances are direct consequence of tax-subsidized "Green Revolution" farming practices pioneered by the U.S. and the processed packaged food and fast-food industry it enabled. The "Green" in "Green Revolution" does not refer to being "environmentally sound", rather, to the amount of extra food that can be produced, for a time, by throwing petrochemically derived fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides at farmland and the radically increased use of petrochemically dependent mechanized farming. In the U.S. corn and soy are the most important Green Revolution crop, though other grains have seen increased outputs. This impacts your health and pocketbook in a variety of ways.
Essentially, the "Green Revolution" was the process of turning a farm into a factory. Traditional farms efficiently use and recycle everything they produce. Now, like many factories, farms are extravagant consumers of resources and produce massive amounts of pollution. They are massively inefficient and dirty. Factory farms also promote disease in several way along with environmental degradation. And we are paying for it--on many levels.
Hybridization, 10,000 years in development, has recently been taken to a new level-artificial genetic manipulation. THe thing to know about the gene conversation is that humans evolve slowly and many natural selection pressures that would improve our gene pool are no longer at work in our culturally buffered lives. Another thing to know is that genes are passed around in the microbial world like Napster swapped files on the web. And microbes, and insects and even plants all evolve much more quickly to environmental changes than do human chromosomes. Instead of relying on rapid evolutionary response we large and long-lived animals must depend on our cultural flexibility to handle rapid change . Unfortunately, cultural adaptability will be greatly lessened by the multiple intersecting changes of climate change, Peak Oil, population pressures, pollution, human centered species extinction.
Nowadays, genetically modified or "GM" foods, have genes inserted into the very productive-- but overly hybridized, and thus, fragile--seed stock, to confer an ability to resist higher levels of synthetic chemicals, i.e. herbicides and pesticides. Contrary to the initial assurances made by the Agribusiness industry, these seeds have escaped, and continue to escape, their inadequately secured "experimental" fields and have spread everywhere. The genie is out of the bottle and will have unintended consequences. These GM agribusinesses then have the unmitigated audacity to charge farmers top dollar for their virulent escaped seed stock that they allowed to contaminate other farmers fields. Even GM seeds agribusiness practices allowed to fall onto fields whose farmers wanted nothing to do with GM seeds. Instead of identifying the real perpetrators and victims, the justice department is another "bought off" participant in the "money talks" political landscape.
GM genes themselves have escaped the chromosomes of the experimental seed stock they were inserted originally into and have been incorporated by the surrounding weeds which now can resist ever higher amounts of "Roundup" herbicides. Insects, already resistant to pesticides by selection pressures, may be performing the same trans-genetic hop and skip trick, turning the tables back on us, modern day Pandora's, and accelerate their pesticide resistant evolution to new levels.
This process is analogous to the Agribusiness and Pharmaceutical Industry helping ruin the usefulness of entire classes of antibiotics by using billions of tons of antibiotics on livestock, especially cattle, pigs and poultry, for a minimal weight gain or prevention of pandemics in the crowded unhygienic, unnatural conditions. These animals are always functionally disturbed but often even have overt organic disease, have all been weakened by feeding them grain, which is an unnatural imbalanced food. They thus grow fat animals full of antibiotic resistant bacteria. USDA approved.
Some bacteria are now able to resist all known antibiotics. In a similar way to cattle, herds of people are being weakened and left vulnerable by excessive antibiotic use, either direct use or indirectly consumed through non-organic foods. Herds of people are eating unnatural processed foods, derived from sick animals being fed unnatural feeds, that leave these people fat and malnourished and vulnerable to multiple opportunistic infections. These weakened herds of people are then attacked by disease resistant viruses and bacteria as well as toxemia based chronic metabolic disorders.
Agribusiness is reenacting the plot line from Jurassic Park, by speed-evolving new microscopic germs, and allowing the newly emerged genetic material, designed to defeat our armamentarium of antimicrobial drugs, to spread everywhere.
A problem I have not seen discussed, is that these antibiotics, like the original antibiotic penicillin, are often based on natural chemical defenses produced by other microbes to survive. What kind of imbalances and accelerated evolution ripple effects are we propagating through the entire ecosystem as we produce a web of effects such as penicillin resistant bacteria able to resist the penicillin organism? What are we doing to the checks and balances in the age old chemical warfare between competing organisms? No one knows. The likelihood that it will be in our self-interest is low.
Our ecology is a chaotic and complex system and, like a butterfly wings causing a Tornado in Kansas, unpredictable, non-linear, small events can lead to catastrophic (for us anyway) changes over large areas. This is a kind of risk humans have little experience in imagining, much less in stopping. We do seem to have a knack for creating these kind of problems however.
All this risk and debility is based on an unsustainable agribusiness model. As we reach and pass Peak Oil we will be both sicker and unable to feed the extra billions of humans now on planet Earth. The twin factors of global knowledge of affluence and global desire for material plenty and the cultural obstacles to birth control exacerbate the problem.
We pay for this craziness in many ways. From farm subsidies aimed at producing empty calories (calories with few micro-nutrients) to subsidies for the petrochemical industry, from outright money to acting as military security for them. And we personally pay for it in terms of vanishing vistas and disease and premature death. In the short-term, a few people will get rich on this particular highway to hell.
What is our exit strategy? What is your exit strategy? This website provides an analysis and some answers. We will need more. Tell people about it. Support local foods grown in a way that minimizes resource usage. Grown in a way that recycles and processes pollution and leaves land, air and water cleaner. Eat vegetables and fruits grown without chemicals or GM seed stock (until real ethical controls and choices are in place).
Grains have been always been the caloric backbone of population dense agricultural societies. Linked to high density energy usage, our society plays brinkmanship with its survival. Previous societies that did not learn how to manage resources, grain, and energy usage collapsed. They had a failure of leadership e Vote with your choices and pocketbook.
The government does not subsidize vegetable production, and only a tiny fraction goes to fruit, and a bit more to meat production. If every one ate the amount of vegetables the government itself says Americans need, we could not meet the demand. Not even close. The lack of subsidies means vegetable cost more than their subsidized, and unhealthy competition: the corn/sugar fast food industry. The lions share of the pork giveaway goes to grain production (just as tobacco has historically been a big recipient of subsidies too).
The primary grain subsidized by your tax dollar is corn. One ridiculous use, based on bogus PR and bad science, is growing corn to turn into ethanol to replace gas. The problem is that it takes more gas to produce the ethanol than the ethanol replaces. Go figure. As Hitler taught them, if you are going to tell a Lie make it a Big one. There are other plants with a higher ethanol conversion rate that might make the idea viable--but not corn.
The other equally ridiculous, and far more health damaging use of corn, is the production of high fructose corn syrup. This has been the lynchpin in the sugary breakfast cereal and highly processed "cute foods" industry . Extruded and tortured under high temperature and high pressure into "cute shapes" like, corn flakes, O's, and sugary figurines with their own movie merchandising deals, these grains are damaged anti-nutrients.
When a researcher gave rats: 1) the breakfast cereal Total, 2) the box Total came in, and 3) the standard rat chow. On the day the last rat died eating Total the first rat died in the group just eating the box. None of the rat chow rats died. So as you walk along the rows of overpriced over processed junk breakfast foods in a boxes. Pick the box you like the best, just don't eat the stuff inside.
The sugar in these cereals and in soft drinks comes from subsidized corn. With no redeeming nutritional content these foods are making us sick and tired and very, very fat. This boxed and bottled additively sweet sickness is being exporting globally. China, where a fat person was almost unheard of 30 years ago, is getting sicker and fatter as it is getting golden arches and coca cola.
When people adopt our diet they develop lots of health problems. Our taxes, which subsidize corn and sugar, supports ever expanding global sickness. The sugar lobby has refused to cooperate with a WHO program to reduce obesity. They make money on everyone's fat and disease, just as the tobacco companies make money on your cancer causing addiction. In terms of numbers they put the traditional arms dealers to shame as merchants of death. By comparison they make terrorist attacks little crumbs at the gluttonous feast of death.
The soy industry may be an equally nasty story. Check out this soy link which gives you a number of articles raising concern about soy. The science is controversial. Some studies show health benefits of soy, others show serious problems, sometimes for the same chemical. The very ambivalent results suggest that in the search for the good the bad and the ugly, it seems to be a matter of where you look. The millions of dollars at stake is biasing the objectivity of the science as the soy industry makes sure you hear about the good and not the bad or ugly. In summary, I would recommend great caution before consuming more than a very small amount of soy or soy extracts and pass on the latest "fashion food" from the supposedly healthy soy industry. Fermented soy products , such as tempeh and natto, are far better choices. However, genetically modified soy is still being used by most manufacturers.
The "public airways" gives us the legal right to protect our children from insidious TV advertisements. The failure of years of lobbying to remove TV ads for sickening food show us that the "public airways" are controlled by the highest bidder, not the greatest good for the greatest number. What is more insidious then the cute and pervasive TV marketing persuading kids to consume health damaging products. No other developed country allows kind and amount of advertising directed at young children.
Government policy subsidized the processed food industry in the face of incontrovertible negative impact on the publics health. More insidiously the combination of bad food, TV ads psychologically amplifying poor self-esteem and unhealthy addictive needs. A consumer mentality that the road to happiness runs through the middle of the mall and one's power of purchase comes together with chronic constant stress as our exported institutionalized "modern lifestyles". Ironically there is a pandemic of both obesity and malnutrition among caloric plenty.

Looking for your next great motorcycle tour or adventure riding experience, but can't figure what to do? RIDE Adventures has the best motorcycle trip routes already designed, and we're here to help you choose, reserve, and plan for your next great adventure ride. Whether you're looking for an existing guided motorcycle tour group to join, the chance to rent a motorcycle and ride solo, or to rally your own private tour group together, we are your starting point for adventure tours that will make you the envy of riders everywhere!
If you're excited about motorcycle riding in any of the regions on our website, the lowest cost way of having such a motorcycle trip is to do it self-guided! One of the World's Most Expensive Hobbies (motorcycle riding) demands that we're careful with spending when possible, so by going "on your own" with one of our rental motorcycles, you'll be able to avoid the costs of having our guides and support staff with you. In some regions we offer pre-paid hotel packages with route notes or GPS to make the trip just a bit easier to carry out, but if you'd just like to rent a motorcycle and "go it alone," a self-guided tour might be just for you!
Our Guided Group Motorcycle Tours offer the ultimate in convenience for motorcycle travelers seeking a "turn key" solution for an amazing riding experience. Our bi-lingual motorcycle guides make sure the tour route is enjoyed to the fullest extent, while a support truck driver carries all the luggage, necessary tools, parts, etc. to make the trip a safely realized success. Plus, as part of one of the shown tour dates available to the public, riders on guided tours typically end up making new motorcycle riding friends from around the world over the course of these tours! Each of our tours will list if there is a guided tour option available or contact us to find out about our Guided Tour options.
Whether you've been inspired by the motorcycle trip stories of Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman riding BMW motorcycles around the world, or your own adventurous spirit brought you RIDE Adventures, rest assured: You're not alone in the quest for the next great dual sport trip! Especially if you're the type of rider who constantly has the urge breakaway and ride somewhere outside of a regular riding routine, the greatest off-pavement routes still remaining can be enjoyed through our rental motorcycles and/or Guided Group Tours. Not sure where is the "best" place for your next Dual Sport ride? Part of the service we provide is to offer unbiased advice, based on your wishes for an incredible trip!
If your plans to "Ride the World" mean you'd prefer staying on the pavement, then we have a great and growing list of options to help you complete your mission. Some of these tours may still include 1-5% non-paved surfaces such as driveways, hard-packed gravel roads, but they're still the types of trips that nearly every motorcycle rider can handle. Some of the finest roads full of twisties and long, sweeping curves can be ridden thanks to the motorcycle rentals and guiding services we offer, so if you want to RIDE the best paved routes around the world, you've found the right service provider!
Check out our list of trips that focus on the greatest paved route options in each region.
We welcome your Private Group to any of the locations shown on www.rideadv.com! Whereas all the tours with exact dates shown are essentially "open to the public," our Private Group Tours are cutomizable and can take place on the exact dates your group wishes. We'll need a bit of info on the front end to establish exactly what type of terrain, scenery, accommodations, and motorcycles you'll want to be riding, and from that, RIDE Adventures will create the perfect motorcycle trip package.
So if your Private Group wants specific trip features, formats, or dates, then Contact Us about organizing your Private Group Motorcycle Tour!
- Rick Keist from Seattle just finished our Self-Guided Fly & RIDE The Best of Northern Patagonia package. As is always possible in Patagonia, there was some rough weather....but also some great riding and views. Glad you enjoyed, Rick!
- Tony Yrey finished a Self-Guided "Fly & RIDE The Patagonia Experience" motorcycle trip package, obviously with a high level of success! No damage, overall good weather, and great views of highlights like Torres del Paine National Park and the Perito Moreno Glacier. Thanks for the note, Tony!
- Our Patagonia motorcycle rentals came through for Laurynas's adventure riding plans, and this news couldn't make us happier! Riders exploring the incredible, remote & rugged beauty of Patagonia, with scenes like this photo to share....it's what we work for.
- David Wood from Oregon in the U.S. set out on a solo motorcycle trip through Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego all the way to Ushuaia at "The End of the World!" Thanks for commenting that our Patagonia motorcycle rentals performed well for you, and that you enjoyed your trip, David!
- Ty Melton from Colorado in the U.S. had some friends join him for the Self-Guided "Fly & RIDE The Best of Northern Patagonia" package, and it looks like the guys enjoyed their trip! The two-track riding is disappearing all around the Andes Mountains, so other riders should not wait to book their trips.
Everything went smooth, thank you for the guide notes and the maps you have provided, which led us to some of the most amazing places we've ever seen, and also kept us safe! We had absolutely no problem whatsoever, bike, staff everything was great."
- Flaviu Dan from Romania was inspired enough by his customized Self-Guided "Fly & RIDE The Patagonia Experience" on a BMW F700GS that he just reached out about a year later to share. With a photo and words that summarize the trip, we are SO glad you enjoyed, Flaviu! That feeling of freedom and exploration of the beautiful Patagonia region puts a huge smile on lots of Riders' faces :)
- Pascal Ducasse and his friends enjoyed a perfect example of a "customized" version of our Self-Guided "Fly & RIDE The Patagonia Experience" package. Wanting to slow down and "soak-up" more of the off-bike opportunities and scenery in Patagonia is something we truly support everyone with. Riders just need to ask us for the help and suggestions on where to stay longer. Thanks for sharing, Pascal!
- Barrett and his friends are making us stand tall and proud with huge smiles after trip reports like this! Please remember though, Patagonia motorcycle rentals should be reserved 8-12+ months in advance, as the season sell out early. Barrett, we're glad you guys planned well ahead, and enjoyed your adventure ride: )
- Jim Hoffmann from Australia was kind enough to share these words with our Staff just after his Self-Guided, Truck Supported Full Patagonia Adventure trip. Jim opted for the new Honda Africa Twin, a motorcycle getting great feedback from the adventure riding world. Glad you enjoyed, Jim!
- For those who haven't practiced their Spanish since high school, Victor Vivaracho (from Spain) is very happy with how his Patagonia Motorcycle Rental experience with RIDE Adventures went. (Approx: "The trip was perfect. The BMW R1200GS LC was in perfect condition, almost new and with a new rear tire. Thanks for your good work.") Glad you enjoyed, Victor!
- Nothing puts a bigger smile on our faces than comments like these from George Mulligan, on the heels of his "Self-Guided, Truck Supported Full Patagonia Adventure." Thanks again, George!
- The spirit of solo motorcycle travel led Jake Szympruch from Oregon to Patagonia, and his Patagonia Motorcycle Rental Package sounds like it was the right choice. Jake, for that, we are glad you enjoyed! See you around Oregon :)
- Thijs and Tim had some perfect timing weatherwise for their Motorcycle Rentals in Patagonia. This time of year, weather is 90% "good" along the Carretera Austral and Ruta 40, but still, sometimes clouds and rain can obscure the sites inside Torres del Paine National Park. Glad you guys got the "good stuff!"
- Moments and photos like this one from Bastian Guenther are a treasured part of any "Self-Guided Fly & Ride The Patagonia Experience" trip on our BMW GS rentals. We're just glad you finished this tough ride safely, Bastian. Knew very well that Patagonia would make the trip an excellent one for you.
- There should be more room on these testimonials for photos! Jeff Yates captured some incredible shots on his Self-Guided "Fly & Ride Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego & Ushuaia!" motorcycle trip, and left us wanting more. Great mix of clouds and sun in Torres del Paine National Park. Glad you enjoyed, Jeff!
- Great photo, Mike and Kathy! The Bradfords had some great weather on their Self-Guided "Fly & Ride Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego & Ushuaia!" motorcycle trip, even for important moments like this one in front of Los Cuernos (The Horns) of Torres del Paine National Park, along side of Lago Pehoe.
- Dominic Ginder and his father, Bob, made excellent use of 16 days of riding time with their Motorcycle Rentals in Patagonia. Dominic, you're correct as well about future plans for Croatia. So much to explore by motorcycle!
"Eric, Made it to Punta Arenas yesterday. Awesome trip! I do have to admit it was tough and some OJT was required on the gravel portions but I am much more skilled now. Never dropped the bike once! Guess 60 year old guys can recall dirt bike skills from 40 years ago LOL. Wind riding was tiring but nothing Harley riders are experienced at. Very rewarding trip to say the least. Thanks for all your help and by the way, the African Twin is an amazing bike. I had never ridden an adventure bike before but the Honda did everything I needed it to do and will be my choice for purchase.
- Now that's a celebration photo! Larry, Tim, and Ron finished their Self-Guided "Fly & Ride Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego & Ushuaia!" motorcycle trip in Punta Arenas, and took this excellent shot overlooking the Straight of Magellan, just across from Tierra del Fuego. Congrats on the safe finish, guys, and thanks for sharing!
- Every rider has their own riding style, and a "Self-Guided Fly & Ride Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego & Ushuaia!" package worked out well for Leslie Donelson and his friend, Bret. As noted though, the only thing that would have made the trip better would probably be some more time in northern Patagonia! Hey, at least you guys experienced what so many have yet to.
- Even when plans changed, Henry Van Klaveren and his cousin Gertjan were still able to enjoy a "Self-Guided Fly & Ride The Patagonia Experience" trip! Glad you finished safely and with smiles, guys.

Presents For 60 Year Old Man Has Ideas Of Nostalgia Built Into It
Presents For 60 year Old Man
Wonderful presents for 60 year old man can be in the field of music. Whether he's a musician himself or just a lover of unique and vintage gifts that pay homage to the music industry, these old coin guitar picks will be a welcome addition to his collection of music memorabilia. Tracing the genre to its roots, you're taken on a world tour through the legendary clubs and key moments of musical history, from the early Eighties at London's Mud Club, through Manchester's Hacienda, and onto Paris, Detroit, New York and Chicago.
A Funny Gift
Another ideal presents for 60 year old man may be a man of science or anyone with a sense of humor; GIANT Microbes make fun and an unusual gift that will have everyone talking. The Mammut headlamp and light set is used by adventurers and outdoorsmen to create a perfect light source for cooking, reading, or relaxing outdoors or in the tent. Many fishermen have their preferences when it comes to lures, so make sure you know what your man likes before you buy anything. These boots are perfect for guys who work outdoors or in construction, or for any guy who just wants to take a fashion cue from artists like Tupac on Kanye.
Pair Of Sunglasses
I think it's a fantastic idea for two reasons. First, it shows how important he is in your life second it will give him a proud dad feeling. If you want a new look to bring to the beach this summer, you'll perfectly complement your warm weather getup with a new pair of sunglasses. For those who know how to appreciate the best that life has to offer, check out the Pure Indulgence Hamper and the Little Luxury Hamper. I love gardening from my childhood; even my dad also love to spend his time taking care of our plants. The GloveShot Slingshot is not a toy, but using it will bring him back to his days of shooting pebbles at jars and cans in the backyard with his favorite boyhood toy. These are some of the ideal presents for 60 year old man.
Basic Yoyo Throw
I didn't know how to use it, but my dad busted out his old yoyo from when he was a boy and showed me how to tie the slip knot around my finger and how to do the basic yoyo throw. The Moleskin Smart Notebook works with his Evernote app to turn his handwritten notes into digital ones, ensuring all his notes are ultimately in one convenient place. If you know a man who is constantly misplacing their keys, cell phone, or watch, a dresser valet can serve as a place to dump all those things so he'll always know where they are. Gift him with a Molecular Gastronomy Kit, and he'll have fun using unique cooking agents to create original dishes and add a new spin to his favorites.http://www.60birthday.com/presents-60-year-old-man-ideas-nostalgia-built/http://www.60birthday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/presents-for-a-60-year-old-man.jpghttp://www.60birthday.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/presents-for-a-60-year-old-man-150x150.jpg60th Birthday Gift Ideas For DadA Funny Gift,Basic Yoyo Throw,Pair Of Sunglasses,Presents For 60 Year Old ManPresents For 60 year Old Man Wonderful presents for 60 year old man can be in the field of music.

Boise State received 434 points and 23 first-place votes from media members around the WAC. Fresno State was picked second after garnering 427 points and 20 first-place votes. Hawai'i earned three first-place votes and finished third with 384 points. Tulsa picked up the final first-place vote and was selected fourth with 312 points followed by Nevada (256), Rice (212), Louisiana Tech (199), UTEP (179), SMU (95) and San Jose State (87).
The media also voted on preseason players of the year. Hawai'i quarterback Timmy Chang was voted the Offensive Player of the Year while Boise State linebacker Andy Avalos was picked as the Defensive Player of the Year.
Chang, a senior from Waipahu, Oahu (St. Louis School), is already the school's all-time leader in total offense and passing yards. He is second on the WAC all-time passing list and needs just 2,218 yards to surpass NCAA record holder Ty Detmer. Last year, Chang was sixth in the nation in total offense with 318.4 yards per game and finished with 4,199 passing yards on the season.
Avalos, a senior from Corona, Calif. (Corona HS), was a first-team all-WAC selection last season after leading the Broncos in tackles for the second straight year. He finished with 112 stops including eight for a loss last season.
The following is the complete 2004 WAC football media poll with first-place votes in parentheses:
Rank Team (1st place votes) Points
1. Boise State (23) 434
2. Fresno State (20) 427
3. Hawai'i (3) 384
4. Tulsa (1) 312
5. Nevada 256
6. Rice 212

On occasion, you get to see a really good film. This was one of those occasions. I just caught Buzz Kill tonight in NYC and was blown away. This is a very smart and hilarious movie that really keeps you entertained from start to finish. Daniel Raymont is an amazing comedic actor who gives an outstanding award deserving performance as aspiring writer Ray Wyatt. The film follows Ray on his crazy journey to Hollywood. Krysten Ritter and SNL's Darrell Hammond also give great performances. The films soundtrack was rocking and fit the film perfectly. Buzz Kill Writer/Director Steven Kampmann is brilliant! This is one of Kampmann's best films. I'm looking forward to the DVD release.

The series between Texas Tech and Kansas State, which Tech leads 8-7, is one of streaks.
The teams first met in the heart of the Dust Bowl and the Depression, in 1933. The Red Raiders took that one 6-0, and then proceeded to win the next two, in 1963 and 1986. All three of those contests took place in Lubbock.
It wasn't until the advent of the Big 12 in 1996 that the Wildcats got their first win over Texas Tech. In the initial football game of the Big 12, KSU took a controversial 21-14 victory over the Red Raiders in Manhattan. The game was controversial because Tech wideout Donnie Hart caught what appeared to be a touchdown pass from Zebbie Lethridge in the corner of the end zone. Hart, however, was ruled out of bounds. Given the final score, those seven points were highly significant.
K-State went on to win the next two games of the series, in 1997 and 2000. In the 1997 battle the Red Raiders managed to score only two points, the lowest output by Texas Tech in the series.
Very soon after Mike Leach arrived on the South Plains and the Red Raiders turned the tables on the Wildcats.
Leach led the Red Raiders to a 38-19 victory in 2001, and Tech went on to rip off five straight victories, most of which were by a very wide margin. Leach's last win over KSU came by a 66-14 count in 2009. That was the most lopsided win by either team in the series, and stands to this day as the last time the Red Raiders won over K-State.
The 2005 game, which Tech won 59-20, was particularly notable for featuring the most famous, and possibly the hardest hit in Texas Tech football history.
In the third quarter, with the Red Raiders already leading 31-14, KSU quarterback Allan Evridge unadvisedly tested the middle of the Tech defense on a QB-keeper. As Evridge sliced through what looked like a good hole over the left side of the Red Raider defense, safety Dwayne Slay rocketed in from the defensive backfield and exploded into Evridge's chest and facemask. The hit produced a fumble which Tech recovered, and Evridge eventually made his way off the field under his own power.
The Red Raiders went on to a 59-20 victory.
With the departure of Mike Leach, so vanished wins over Kansas State. Beginning in 2011 and continuing to the present, the Red Raiders have lost four straight to the Wildcats. And with the exception of the 2011 game, which Tech lost 41-34, the games haven't been close. The average margin of victory for KSU over the last three games has been 29 points, and K-State's average point total has been 50.
In point of fact, this series is long on blowouts and short on nail-biters. None of the 15 games have been decided by three points or less, and only four have been decided by seven points or less. On the other hand, seven games, almost half, have been routs where the victorious team won by at least 30 points.
Odds are good that this year's renewal will produce one of the closer contests in series history.

Will the Red Sox be one of them?
At this point, it's hard to tell. With six viable starters already on the roster, and with at least two more ready to fill any spots should they open up, the Red Sox head into 2014 in a comfortable position regarding starting pitching. Then again, Jon Lester's contract expires after the 2014 season, John Lackey is getting older and his deal ends after 2015, Clay Buchholz still hasn't proven he can stay healthy enough to pitch 200 innings per year, Felix Doubront is far from a sure thing, and as the old adage goes, a team can never have enough pitching.
Still, the Red Sox certainly aren't in a position of desperate need for starting pitching, and the same can't be said about the Yankees. And when the Yankees desperately need to fill a spot, it's hard for any team to outbid them "

text: We all know they are out there. We know them as Ten Shits, or Elevenerife or words to that effect. What is your favourite story where someone has big times it only to be caught out? I remember being on my Class 3 when we had mentors from the Class 1 cses. We were asking them about Ni and medals when one of the Cpls told us about a time he was at JCUNI in a vehicle with a female when they got stopped at an IVCP. She followed her drills properly and shot 2 of them and got a medal of some sort for it. The other Cpl turned round to him and in as loud a voice as you can get shouted "BULLSHIT". It turned out the second Cpl had been in the girl's troop at the time and knew that billy big time Cpl was actually in a radio repair workshop at 15SR and rarely left camp. Funnily enough none of us trainees ever went to that guy for help!

Britain's beaches are being ruined by litter, with twice as much picked up last year as in 1994.
In 1995 more than 305,000 items of rubbish were picked up from beaches around the coasts of Britain. This included almost 20,000 crisp packets, 10,500 drink cans and 9,400 cigarette butts, not to mention sanitary towels, plastic, glass and cotton buds.
The Beachwatch '95 survey organised by the Marine Conservation Society and Reader's Digest took place on the 16 and 17 September last year. A total of 202 beaches covering 193km were cleaned by 2,365 volunteers and 196 of the beaches were surveyed in detail. In total the debris weighed an estimated 30,000kg, three times as much as in 1993.
The Beachwatch '95 results found that 1,635 items of rubbish were recorded per km surveyed as compared to 977 items per km in Beachwatch '94 and 572 items per km surveyed in Beachwatch '93. Tourist debris alone was up 60 per cent since Beachwatch '94.
Plastic accounted for more than half the debris recorded, and sewage- related debris was between 11 per cent and 12 per cent of the total. Debris made from metal has decreased while the proportion of paper-based materials has almost doubled. The most common items found included crisp and sweet wrappers, plastic bottles, caps, lids, and rope.
Two Guernsey beaches - Le Port aux Malades, Castel, and Fermain, St Peter Port - came out as cleanest in the survey. They had 0.01 and 0.03 items of rubbish respectively for every metre of beach. In contrast two Lancashire beaches were the dirtiest with 93 bits of rubbish per metre of beach on Western Shore, Sunderland Point, and an unsightly 166 bits of rubbish per metre at Jack Scout Cove, Silverdale.
Last year the dirtiest beaches were Castle Beach, Dyfed, and New Brighton, Merseyside, and the cleanest were Treaddur Bay in Gwynedd, Porthneigwl, also in Gwynedd, and Thorpe Bay in Essex.
Some improvement has been seen in the standard of bathing water. In 1995 about 413 out of 464 beaches met the EC mandatory standard on bathing water, 37 more than in 1994.
"It is unacceptable that our children are having to build their sandcastles on little more than a rubbish dump," Kim Winter of Holiday Which? magazine said. "It is time a concerted effort was made to make our beaches a more safe and pleasant environment."
The Marine Conservation Society added: "We would urge people to take individual responsibility for disposal of their litter whether they are tourists or visitors. We would also urge those in local authorities or industry to take action to reduce the problem at source."
Recommendations made by the society include organising awareness campaigns in schools on waste reduction, disposal and recycling. Incentives should also be increased for manufacturers and retailers to reduce the use of plastics and excessive packaging. The Government should also expand the network of plastics recycling schemes and encourage research into degradable alternatives.

Both series feature mecha battles, a wimpy guy with an ability to help other people but too scared to do something and a kuudere-girl.
Both take place in a neo apocalyptic Tokyo, but where in the catastrophe was more centralized to Tokyo in GC it was global in NGE. Both have similar passive aggressive protagonist, and a seemingly emotionless girl . They draw heavy Christian ideologies, and have very similar plots. The Similarities become more apparent towards the end of the series (I don't want to say much to take away from the plots) , and who doesn't love some "mecha" action?
It's the same with the robots because if the robots experience pain so do they and the fact that the main character is a whiner that doesn't want to get involved in hurting anybody and tries to leave when the rest of the future relies with him. Same thing with the chick they are both very unemotional but the main characters develop a feeling for them.
Those of you who have seen both are probably wondering: how did this kid even get this comparison? Well in both series you have a young male lead who gets pulled into a world that he didn't ask to be put in. He's forced into it and has to adapt and face many hardships to survive. Shu of GC is like Shinji of Eva because the young characters both go through tests of psych and physical strength to live in the situations they were dragged into in order to save the world and their love interests. Shu Oma does a better job of acting in read more

The main characters have similar personalities --awkward, indecisive and weak. Both of them struggle with their weaknesses at first but the series of events leave them with no choice and ultimately lead them in finding their inner strength and fight. Secrets and betrayal also play an important part on both. The tone of these anime was almost the same. If you liked mind-blowing character development and unpredictable plot, you'll probably like these series.

Let's start with what is the heart of Kotaku's commenting principals: Commenting is a privilege not a right.
Whether today is your first day reading the site or you've been reading it since the day I stepped foot in Kotaku tower, you don't have the right to troll, to name call, to get off topic or, the worst offense, to bore.
We take commenting very seriously on Kotaku because we believe strongly that what we write is only half the story, the other half, often the more important half, is how you react and the discussion that ensues.
That is why we ban, without warning, people whose comments are pointless like: "First" or "Not news" or "Slow news day."
It's not because we think you're being petty or insulting (both are true), but because of the larger offense, you're off topic. When you comment on Kotaku we expect you to be commenting about the story at hand. Agree, disagree, we don't really care, just do so intelligently and civilly.
And when the topic is something sensitive or heated don't use that as an excuse to incite or stop thinking. I would rather ban the entire community than steer away from topics that may make someone angry. Believe me.

Not really: Cancer in the armpit essentially represents metastasis to the lymph nodes high up near the axillary vein. They are for the most part painless and would not be associated with redness.

Jordan Valley
211 W. 4th Street
Open: M-Tues 11am-11pm
Wed-Sat 11am-1am
Sunday call ahead, as they sometimes close early
A lot of folks shy away from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine because they are unfamiliar with it and aren't sure they will like it. Even some vegetarians I know aren't "adventurous" enough to give it a try, which is a shame since it is not only incredibly tasty but healthy to boot.
I've listed a menu primer at the end to aid those unfamiliar with this culinary style, but let me just say that if you are interested in trying it but are worried about wasting money if you don't like it, go to Jordan Valley.
Located next to the Scientology center between Plum and Elm, the restaurant doesn't look like much from the sidewalk and on rainy days there always seem to be smokers puffing away under their canopy, but don't let that put you off visiting, because it's a great place to get delicious Middle East vegetarian food at rock-bottom prices.
The family-owned and operated restaurant looks a little scruffy and well worn as you walk in the door, with some travel posters of Jordan, a couple of camel-shaped planters and artificial trees the only decorations, but hey, we aren't paying for ambiance here and if that's what it takes to keep the prices down, so be it.
There are numerous vegetarian selections in every section of their modest menu. Of course there are plenty of salads: Greek, Middle Eastern, Tabouli, and Fattoush. I was disappointed in the Middle Eastern salad I chose on one occasion, as it was absolutely drowning in tahini. Tahini, a paste made from toasted sesame seeds and olive oil, is a staple in Middle Eastern cooking and is probably best known as an ingredient in hummus and baba ghanoush. I love the taste of it in moderation, but the salad was really swimming with it. Too bad.
There is a combo platter of several items on the appetizer list, which includes hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel and tabouli. There's also manakeesh (spelled manikesh at Jordan Valley), a Lebanese flat bread pastry topped with a spice mix of thyme, sumac, toasted sesame seeds and olive oil. For those afraid to risk it, there are also veggie burgers, fries and cheese pizza.
By far my favorite items on their menu are the pita wraps; not the powdery, tough supermarket-style pita that some places use, but a melt-in-your-mouth soft but substantial flatbread similar to Indian naan, stuffed with your choice of falafel, hummus, Greek salad or grilled cheese. Do yourself a favor and try the falafel wrap – it's a meal in itself and at $3.79 is an unbelievable deal. The falafel is perfectly made; ground chickpea patties that are crispy brown on the outside yet soft and crumbly on the inside. GORGEOUS! I frequently make falafel at home, but since I bake instead of fry mine, they are never quite as savory – or as addicting - as the ones at Jordan Valley. They are generous with the falafel too, as usually there are three or four croquettes stuffed inside, along with onions, lettuce, pickle, tomato, and hot banana peppers, with what tastes like tzatziki drizzled on top. Sometimes you get beets and cucumbers too; I guess it depends on who's making the wrap that day. The falafel wrap is hot, filling and seriously addicting. I swear sometimes I wake up in the night craving one, and just writing about it is making me yearn to dash over there for a fix.
At least it's an addiction I can easily afford!
As promised, here is a Middle Eastern cuisine primer. I've included a pronunciation guide for each item, but there is usually more than one way to pronounce many of them. This is also not a complete listing of Middle East and Mediterranean cuisine, as I am listing only the vegetarian items available at Jordan Valley.
Baba Ghanoush: [bah-bah gah-NOOSH] A puree of eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Used as a spread or dip for pita and flatbread.
Couscous: [KOOS-koos] granular semolina (cracked wheat) that can be cooked and served with milk as porridge, with a dressing as a salad, or sweetened and mixed with fruit as a dessert.
Falafel: [feh-LAH-fehl] small, deep-fried croquettes or balls of spiced, ground chickpeas. My husband likes to make the joke "I don't wanna feel awful" whenever he's asked if he'd like falafel for dinner. If you don't get the joke, say it out loud.
Fattoush: [fah-TOOSH or fah-DOOSH] Salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, onion, lettuce and green pepper with lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, mint, garlic, salt and vinegar, topped with toasted pita bread. Sumac lends a slightly sour taste to this dish.
Greek Salad: Also known as "village salad," it is comprised of chopped tomato, cucumber, red onion, salt, pepper and oregano with olive oil, although common additions are green pepper, kalamata olives, feta cheese and pepperoncini. When added to a pita, tzatziki sauce is often used.
Hummus: [HOOM-uhs or HUM-uhs] Thick puree made of mashed chickpeas seasoned with lemon juice, garlic, and olive or sesame oil. Sometimes tahini is also added.
Manakeesh/Manikesh: [mne-eesh] Similar to small pizza with a blend of thyme and olive oil.
Middle East Salad: Salad made of diced tomato, cucumber, onion and tahini.
Pita bread: [PEE-tah] Also known as pocket bread, this flatbread is made of white or whole-wheat flour.
Tabouli/Tabbouleh: [tuh-BOO-luh] Bulgur wheat mixed with chopped tomatoes, onions, mint, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Usually served cold.
Tahini: [tah-HEE-nee] Thick paste made of ground, toasted sesame seed, used to flavor various dishes.
Tzatziki sauce: [za-ZEE-kee] Creamy combination of yogurt, cucumber and garlic, usually served as a dip or dressing.
All of Jordan Valley's vegetarian options run under $5 except for the combination platter, which costs $7.50 and when you consider the number of appetizers included, that's excellent value and a great way to sample what they've got. Another plus: they are open late seven days a week, serving up delicious and cheap vegetarian fare well into the night.

This is becoming a routine for me. Jordan Valley and Marekesh Cafe has been on my list to try and since you've raved about it, I'll be sure to check out JV.
Do they have gyros? Any opinions from the meat eaters?

Yes, they have gyros and kabobs for the non-veggies.

Mmm... falafel... So good there. I had a falafel wrap at Diner on Elm (formerly Marrakesh) the other day and it was OK, but it wasn't nearly as good as Jordan Valley's. Could be lunch today!

Disclaimer: Glee belongs to Ryan Murphy and Fox, not me. Elf belongs to...someone who is not me. Probably Will Ferrell? I'm not sure.
Blaine perked up. He could hear someone singing, and it was beautiful. He hadn't heard anyone singing that wonderfully since he left home.
The voice echoed through the empty department store and he followed it in a daze, humming along with it. He nudged a door open and wandered closer.
"I really can't stay," the voice sang, sweet and clear. "I've got to go 'way."
He crept a little closer, following the sound. It was definitely the loveliest singing that he'd ever heard, the north pole choir included.
"The neighbors might think."
"But baby, it's bad out there," Blaine sang back. He couldn't help it, he just had to. A voice that marvelous shouldn't have to sing along.
"Say, what's in this drink?"
"No cabs to be had out there."
"I wish I knew how to break the spell."
"I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell."
He pulled himself up to sit cross-legged, linking his fingers together while he sang along, harmonizing with the bell-like mystery voice. The sound carried over the rhythmic, soothing noise of the shower and he leaned a little closer towards the voice, breathing in the sweet, spicy smell of shampoo.
"I ought to say no, no, no sir."
"Mind if I move in closer?"
"At least I'm gonna say that I tried."
"What's the sense of hurting my pride?"
"I really can't stay."
"Oh, but it's cold outside," they sang together, and Blaine let his voice carry a little, smiling as it echoed back to him.
Suddenly the mystery voice stopped abruptly. Blaine jumped as the shower curtain drew back, the plastic rings shrieking on the metal bar. He tried to peer around the corner to get a better look and found himself staring into a pair of beautiful blue eyes. Kurt's eyes, he realized happily.
But Kurt didn't seem quite as happy. His wet hair was plastered to his forehead, his eyes were very wide, and soap dripped down his cheek and neck. Blaine smiled at him.
"Don't look!" Kurt shrieked, snatching the shower curtain to cover himself up.
"What?" Blaine stammered as he fell off the counter.
"Don't look! Get out! Don't look!" Kurt screamed.
Blaine covered his eyes as he skidded across the floor, but he ran into the wall instead, and that sort of hurt, so he opened his eyes just enough to squint at the door and dart out.
He hid in the back of the toy department until the store opened, sitting cross-legged behind a large display of Light-Brites and frowning at the floor. Kurt was mad at him. But why was Kurt mad at him? He just wanted to sing with him.
When the store was bustling with shoppers and Christmas music was playing over the sound system, he crept out into the store. Kurt was sitting at the gift wrap counter, frowning in concentration as he wrapped shiny green paper around a large box. Blaine ducked behind a cardboard cutout of a Transformer robot to watch him. He was awfully cute like that, with the tip of his tongue poking out a little between his lips. But then he glanced up, catching sight of Blaine, and beckoned to him.
"Hey, you," he said, sounding grumpy.
Blaine peeked out. "Me?" he mouthed, pointing at himself.
Kurt waved him over with his scissors. "Come here," he said. "I want to talk to you."
Blaine inched towards him, hands clasped behind his back. "What do you want to talk to me about?" he asked. He hoped it was something good.
"How come you were spying on me in the locker room this morning?" Kurt asked.
Oh. So it wasn't something good.
He shifted his weight, locking his fingers together. "I heard you singing," he said.
Kurt's pretty blue eyes narrowed. "You're sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I was naked in the shower?" he said, his mouth tilting to the side.
"I didn't know you were naked," Blaine hedged. He inched a little closer to him. Kurt smelled nice, sweet but a little spicy, like a frosted gingerbread cookie. "Why were you here so early?"
Kurt exhaled slowly, making his hair lift off his forehead and brush lightly against the red trim on his silly-looking elf hat. "They shut my water off," he said. Blaine tilted his head to the side. He wasn't entirely sure what that meant, but it made Kurt look sad. Sad and tired. But he shook his head and picked up a spool of gold ribbon to wrap around the present. "What were you doing here so early?"
Blaine rose up on his toes, smiling. "Making this," he said proudly.
Kurt paused and glanced around the decorated toy department. "You built this?" he said, sounding impressed.
"Mm-hm," Blaine said, nodding enthusiastically.
Kurt smiled, one side of his mouth tilting up more than the other. It made a deep dimple pop in his cheek, and Blaine was overcome with the sudden desire to poke it. "They're kind of pissed about this," he said.
Blaine blinked. "Really?" he said.
The head of the toy department stomped over to them, scowling deeply. "Hey," she said sharply. "Have you seen this place?"
"Mm-hm," Kurt said with a blasé air as he drew the scissors along the length of the ribbon to make them curl.
"It's pretty good," Rachel said, looking around the department with her arms crossed over her chest. "A little too good. Corporate must have sent in a professional." She breathed deeply, her frown getting a little deeper. "I don't know why somebody's gunning for my job…" She breathed in and out again, like she was trying to calm herself. "But look- let's remain a team, okay? Because if I go, then we all go."
Blaine rocked up on his toes, unsure of what to say. Kurt seemed like he was flat out ignoring Rachel. She planted her hands on the counter and leaned in closer till her nose was nearly touching Kurt's. "If you get wind of anything, call me on my radio. Channel three. Code word is 'Santa's got a brand new bag. Okay?" She paused, looking down at the wrapped present. "Six inch ribbon curls, honey."
Kurt looked up and blinked. "That's impossible," he said flatly.
"Six…inches!" Rachel barked, before spinning on the toe of her shiny mary jane shoe and stomping away.
Kurt sighed, rolling his eyes, and continued to pluck at the shining gold ribbons. Blaine hesitated, then leaned in close to Kurt's ear.
"By the way," he whispered. "I think you have the most beautiful singing voice in the whole wide world."
He leaned back to see Kurt staring at him, a rosy blush rising on his cheeks. "Thank you…I think," Kurt said.
Blaine swallowed hard. "I think you're beautiful," he blurted out. Kurt's cheeks turned holly-berry-red and the scissors had nearly slid out of his fingers. "And I, um…I feel really warm around you. And…um…my tongue swells up. So…" He cleared his throat. "Do you want to go eat food?"
Kurt's jaw dropped. "Do I…do I want to eat food?" he echoed.
Blaine nodded eagerly. "Mm-hm," he said. "You know, uh…the code. Food." He smiled helpfully, hoping that would help. Papa Elf always said that his smile could win anyone over.
Kurt went back to curling the shiny gold ribbons. "Well, I just had my lunch break," he said.
Blaine's smile faded. "Oh," he said sadly. "Okay. I understand."
He started to walk away.
He turned around to see Kurt smiling at him, just a little, looking at him from under his long lashes. "I'm free Thursday," he offered.
"Thursday," Blaine echoed. He grinned. "Thursday!"
"Thursday," Kurt said.
He nodded eagerly. "That'd be great," he said fervently.
Kurt smiled, for real this time, his lovely eyes crinkling a little bit in the corners. "All right," he said. He set the present aside and picked up the next box to wrap it.
Blaine beamed, skipping away. He was already planning the perfect date. It was going to be marvelous.
Thursday couldn't come fast enough- although learning how to work in the mailroom at his big brother's work had been an exciting distraction. But at last it was Thursday, and he was waiting outside the front of the department store with his hands in his coat pockets, bouncing up and down.
Kurt walked down the sidewalk towards him, looking a little shy. His navy coat was buttoned up to his neck and a brightly colored scarf was wrapped around his neck. Blaine stared, unabashed. "Hi," Kurt said.
"Wow," Blaine said. "You look miraculous."
Kurt ducked his head, smiling. "So do you," he said, shrugging his shoulders a little awkwardly. Blaine smiled so hard it made his face hurt. "So…what would you like to do?"
Blaine grabbed his hand, locking his gloved fingers around Kurt's slim bare ones. "I've got some ideas," he said, and took off running down the sidewalk with Kurt trailing behind him, laughing a little.
He introduced Kurt to all of his new favorite things in New York- the world's best cup of coffee, the magical spinning doors, the brightly lit and decorated shop windows. But the best part wasn't reliving all those wonderful things and showing them off to Kurt. No, the best part was watching Kurt open up, like the way wrapping paper falls off an oddly shaped gift. It's tricky to undo all the tape around the nooks and crannies, but it's a little fun at the same time. And that's what Kurt was like for him- watching him smile, and laugh, and the silly way his lips would quirk when he was about to say something funny, and the cute way his dimples would pop in and out of his cheeks when he talked. Blaine was having a hard time concentrating, he was staring at Kurt so hard.
"What should we do now?" Kurt asked, his cheeks and lips rosy from running around in the cold.
"I want to show you the Christmas trees!" Blaine said. "There's a big one down this way-"
"Blaine, wait, stop, traffic-"
One of the big yellow cars shrieked to a halt, the horn blaring and the driver shouting grumpy things as Kurt dragged Blaine away. "The yellow ones don't stop," he said, smiling apologetically.
"The yellow ones don't stop," Kurt repeated. He sighed, and it sounded frustrated, but he was smiling. Suddenly he grabbed Blaine's hand. "Come with me."
Blaine jogged behind him, sliding his arm up to link Kurt's elbow with his. Kurt felt nice and warm against him- comfortable. It was comfortable. That's what it was. Kurt reminded him of home. He smiled harder and squeezed Kurt's arm closer to his side, and Kurt squeezed back.
"There," Kurt said, tugging Blaine in front of the largest Christmas tree he'd ever seen. Kurt turned to him expectantly, his smile bright. "Well?"
Blaine's mouth rounded into a surprised O. "Wow," he breathed. "That's a big one."
Kurt nodded, laughing a little as he watched the lights sparkle on the tree, and Blaine couldn't help it. He nestled closer and kissed Kurt on the cheek, breathing in the sweet scent of his hair and the softness of his skin, and then leaned back. "Sorry," he said.
Kurt tilted his head and just looked at him, puzzled, his hair slightly mussed and his lips pursed, like he was waiting for something. "You missed," he said.
Blaine frowned. "What do you mean, I missed?" he repeated, perplexed.
Kurt took his hands in both of his and leaned in closer to press his lips to his. Blaine jumped, startled, and then melted against Kurt's mouth, his hand creeping up to curve around the softness of the nape of his neck. It was strange and startling and amazing all at once, and it warmed him up and made his knees weak and he wanted to stay like that forever, kissing Kurt just like that. Even Christmas seemed to suddenly pale in comparison.
Author's Notes:
Merry Christmas, everyone! Here, have some adorable Elf!Klaine! Because of course Blaine would the adorably naive and lovable Buddy the Elf, and Kurt would be the cynically sweet Jovie. And they're precious. So precious.
I hope you had a lovely holiday! I've made and eaten WAY too much food, and snuggled with my husband and cat, and opened wonderful presents, and saw Rise of the Guardians with my family, and it's been marvelous. Merry Christmas, everybody!

Ive begun to do my catch-up reading in the infamous Grout textbook History of Western Music. I need to be roughly up-to-speed on Ancient and Medieval music by this time next month. It turns out, you can actually get out of practice as a reader! This is hard. Not to mention: textbooks are supposed to be dense. In fact I guess thats part of the point of textbooks. Nevertheless I am genuinely interested in the topic (I did not realize that Pythagoras is generally thought of as the first music theorist on record), and I have ample time to get through page 145.
On the plus side, I noted that there are ASO/Spano recordings on the accompanying CD of sample music, and an old friend from Nebraska is mentioned in the acknowledgments for her editing work. That made me feel pretty cool. Now I just have to learn to read again.
