Early this morning, the dolphin trainers came to the cove just as they always do when the hunters have brought dolphin here. They must have been surprised to see the crowd that was waiting for them. Not only were the Cove Guardians here, but also so were film crews and reporters. For the first time the trainers were unable to hide in the shadows and they had to face the cameras. I wonder if they lie to themselves about how they are intricately linked with the slaughter. We see these same trainers as they go about their day at the nearby dolphin parks. The public sees them as dolphin caretakers and I am certain they must tell the visitors how much they love these creatures. It is such a lie. These men and women are despicable excuses for human beings and this morning their faces were recorded by a dozen or more cameras.
But they would not be doing what they do if ignorant fellow human beings did not pay to attend dolphin shows or to have their kiddies photographed while swimming with captive dolphins. The trainers and dolphin parks are the pushers, and those who frequent such places are the users. The horror we had to witness this day comes down to money. Lots of money is involved in the dolphin industry. We are working here to end the hunt, but all of us also need to be working on destroying the demand for dolphin-based entertainment. Friends do not let friends patronize these places. Educate your neighbors. Together we can end this insanity.
After the cowardly trainers had picked two of the dolphins for a life of misery and quite literally dumped them in the back of a pick-up truck for local delivery, they slithered back out of the cove and away from the grim reality of their business. The dolphin slayers moved in next. By this time though, outraged people all over the planet had heard about the plight of this family of dolphins and increased the pressure on Japanese embassies and consulates. Japanese government officials are feeling this pressure and so are the "fishermen" in Taiji. There are even challenges to the Mayor of Taiji coming from within the City Council because of the pressure. The result is that the dolphin slayers are panicking. They have no idea how to deal with the onslaught. Scrambling for a solution, they decided to appease the world by sparing six juveniles. These six children are all that remain of a complex family unit. These six, while large enough to not have to depend upon their mother's milk for sustenance, nonetheless depended upon the experienced adults in their community to lead the way and to teach them what they need to know. These six did not know what to do when the slayers released them. They did not move quickly out to sea for they had no one to lead them. How could they run away when the rest of their family had be brutally slaughtered within their sight and hearing? Where are they to go?
While these six are likely to be just as doomed as their relatives, there is cause for optimism here. We are making a difference. The past several years of spotlight on Taiji is taking its toll on the stubborn resolve of these so-called men. The intense pressure of the past month resulting from our day after day steadfast reporting is driving them to extreme measures. We cannot stop now. We must increase the pressure even more. Together we can stop this insanity in Taiji, and when we stop it here we will turn our attention to the next target and take it out too. On and on we will move until the dolphins and whales of planet earth are free to roam this one place that we all call home.
The killing was done in secret. Great efforts had been taken to shield their deeds from the cameras. But we saw enough. Despite their obvious shame at what they do, we still exposed the dolphin slayers. They cannot hide. We see them and know what they do in the dark. They left evidence of the grisly morning upon the rocks in the killing cove. My daughter swam into that evil place this afternoon and brushed her hand across a rock. The rock was still covered in dolphin blood. She swam back across the cove and came to me. How is a father to make it right? Her innocence is shattered and she will never be the same. I guess she is an adult now.
The greed of the slayers seems to be insatiable. Even while some of their number were involved in the grim work, six of the twelve hunter boats took to the sea this morning. Fortunately they came back empty handed. We expect that they will set out again in the early morning. We too will set out early and be waiting for them. They cannot hide.
We need your help. Spread the word, send donations, join in the international day of protest and in the Worldwide Anti-Whaling Day, avoid all travel to Japan except to become a Cove Guardian with us here in Taiji, and ensure that you do everything you can to keep the pressure on the Japanese authorities. It is unfortunate that the reputation of an entire nation is being tarnished by the evil and shameful deeds of a handful of men in Taiji. To join us (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk) in Taiji, write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will get back to you, but please be patient. I cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer email at the same time

I have just returned from Istanbul after teaching there for two years on a TEFL.
I will never teach in Turkey again. Im totally disillusioned with the business ethic there. The false promises of hours that dont materialise. The contracts that are not worth the paper they are written on. The hourly rate now 15 lira around most of the schools in Bakirkoy and other places. The backstabbing from other natives in an effort to get rid of you and get your hours. The not being paid on time and not being told anything finding yourself being booted when something better comes along with a degree.....being used to fill gaps in the year that they cant get another native for(unknown to you of course) then you find out 10 or more native have left the same post. The lies. The sudden changes in your job description with a like it or lump it attitude. Being backstabbed by jealous Turkish teachers. Suddenly finding yourself being farmed out to other branches with no help for fares. No help with visa. No help with residency or rent allowance. Led to believe you will be kept on for the coming new term but not told your not wanted until its too late for you to get a teaching job somewhere else. Documents seized including passport until the end of the school year (edited) so you cant leave. You have no guaranteed stability you can be sacked at a moments notice and finding yourself in Istanbul with no money is a very precarious place to be. Also running up debts to your landlord will be another problem and could land you in Turkish prison if your caught. But these schools dont care. They dont care about you and the students are just bums on seats.

Walstad substrate uncertainty
So I've pretty much read every forum and article google will send me to regarding the walstad method and I've even read her book (Skipping over the heavy scientific parts) but there are still a few things I'm questioning before I go dirting a 10 gallon I'm planning.
From what I've read, I've decided to definitely go with Miracle Grow Organic Potting Soil and use a gravel cap. 1'' of soil 1'' of gravel. I've also decided I will definitely soak the soil and skim off any large chunks of wood for at least a day or two before I put it into the tank. I'm wondering if I should mix gravel or something into the soil. I have some Malaysian driftwood in the package I received it in waiting for me to set this thing up. I do plan on planting HEAVILY. I've decided to go with a regular hang-on filter with the floss only for water movement and mechanical filtration.
I live in an apartment and want to keep the mess to a minimum!!!
I'm really just hoping someone with some REAL and practical experience can give me some last minute layman's pointers and tips.
I've kept a planted tank before using eco-complete and the stock lighting on an eclipse 12 (1.1 WPG) in a sunny room. Some articles by Tom Barr sort of convinced me to avoid the dirt route. It did great and met all of my expectations. (I abandoned that tank at my mothers house when I moved almost a year ago.) Some plants died off due to neglect after I moved but the java ferns are still thriving. I plant to move a couple into this tank when I get it set up.) That whole experience taught me that most things are easier than people make them out to be.
So I'm not a total newbie, but as such, I'm sure there is something I'm overlooking which could be totally avoidable.
Any advice or tips would be appreciated!!!
I've done 2 dirt tanks with great results (so far).
On my smaller Evolve 8 tank, I removed the chunks with a kitchen strainer to give me a fine dirt and capped it with sand (1" to 1" ratio) and have no issues.
On my latest 40B tank, I just dumped the bag of MGOPS in and left the big wood chips in. My reasoning is as it breaks down, it will slowly provide nutrients and CO2 to the plants in the long run. I have this capped with sand as well and I'm seeing good results after 2 weeks running.
Also, prior to capping I soaked the dirt by adding enough water to make a thick brownie-like batter and let it sit for an hour or so and poking it a little to let any trapped air out. I capped it by starting with the perimeter, giving me a good reference on how thick the cap is going to be. I then used a plate upside down to slowly fill the water.
Welcome to the forum!
Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix is the bagged 'dirt' product I use.
Avoid the bags labeled "potting soil"
MGOCPM (potting mix) contains soils and a large portion of organic material (55-65% by volume). Sphagnum peat moss, composted bark fines, leaves, twigs, wood chips etc. and "pasteurized poultry litter" (cooked chicken crap). 0.10-0.05-0.05
While the contents of the mix can vary obviously to some degree I've yet to experience real trouble using it and find the results in tank to be very consistent so far. I've tanked this bagged dirt mix a number of different ways.
I used egg crate grill material to eliminate gravel creep along the glass
http://www.plantedtank.net/imagehost...pload/2660.jpg http://www.plantedtank.net/imagehost...pload/2659.jpg http://www.plantedtank.net/imagehost...pload/2675.jpg
2 Bags (30lb.) Flourite cap
Fill it up 1/3 or 1/2 way and plant it!
If you follow your "decided to definitely do list" you already have more mess ahead than is needed. Wetting first is a mess maker. Pulling materials larger than say silver dollar size if the bag contains it yes but the 'soak and float' is a waste of time and a mess I promise. Posted under my user name (if google missed it :hihi:) are about a dozen tanks using MGOCPM.
Also if you stand fast with a 1" soil base and 1" gravel cap within 10 months you will be left with a very shallow plant base remaining in the tank. The soil layer will compact by about 70% once the organic material is broken down.
1.5 to 2" soil layer and the same on the cap (imo).
Whoops I meant potting mix :)
I just set up my tank this past weekend, 20XT.
Used MGOPM, and some used flourite sand I picked up at an auction.
I sprinkled some dolomite on the very bottom, and then put around 1 1/2 ~2" of MGOPM in, and then another 1 ~ 1 1/2" or so of the flourite on top. the top of the substrate is about 3-4" from the bottom glass, but I've also got a ~1/2" thick piece of slate in there for anchoring the driftwood.
I didn't screen the MGOPM at all, and didn't really notice many pieces much larger then about rice grains or so. I wet it pretty good, and made sure it was pretty well distributed, and then added the flourite sand, and started poking the plants in.
A couple hours (and several beers) later, I finally finished with the planting right about dawn. :) I just threw a big filter sponge in there, and poured the (treated) water onto that, and that worked pretty well to keep from disturbing the gravel. by the time the tank was full, there wasn't much cloudiness, and most of it was up in the top, I think from the MGOPM that surfaced during the planting.
So, no real cloudiness with me, but it probably helped that I had previously used (and rinsed) flourite.
Do you do anything prepare to rinse or prepare the MGOPM or just pour it in straight out of the bag?
MGOCPM just pour it in straight out of the bag but with new Flourite I rinse for what seems forever!
Now I use window screen material and setup saw horses making a hammock to rinse Flourite original so I can just use the hose and spray nozzle.
Walstad substrate uncertainty
I haven't used fluorite nor seen it for sale around here I used Eco complete to cap it last time. I may go for fluval stratum on the new tank if I get it
I just used it straight out of the bag. Didn't quite pour it, but that was due to space/logistical restraints :).
I scooped some out with a plastic deli cup/tub, and then dumped that in the tank. if there were clumps I would break them up. Added about ~1.5 - ~2", and then wet it down to a slurry, and smushed it around some to make sure it's distributed and such.
I had minimal clouding, but I think that was having a fiarly fine crained cap, and a very slow, non-disruptive filling.

Sheila Jackson Lee: Treasure Trove of Idiocy
posted at 8:35 am on July 23, 2009 by dougpowers
Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, fresh off the Michael Jackson memorial, never fails to entertain, and today is no different:
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) told activists rallying on Capitol Hill in support of the newly reintroduced Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), that the United States should join 27 other countries that have equality guarantees for women, including Rwanda, Algeria, China and Afghanistan.
"It does make a difference if an Equal Rights Amendment is in place or not," Lee told the people who gathered outside of the Capitol on Tuesday.
"Twenty-seven other countries, including Rwanda, Afghanistan, Algeria and China have equality provisions," Lee said.
Because when you think of equal rights, you think of Rwanda, Algeria, China and Afghanistan.
In the literal interpretation of "equal rights," Lee is correct. In China, for example, dissidents are all equally thrown in prison or equally killed. Babies conceived to parents who already have one child are equally murdered.
Then there's this from Marie Claire's "Worst Places on Earth for Women":
AFGHANISTAN: A woman dies during childbirth every half-hour, the highest maternal mortality rate in the world. Domestic violence is endemic; 87 percent of Afghan women have been assaulted by a family member.
Afghan women are just 13% away from the assaults being completely equal and fair!
The literacy rate for women in Afghanistan is 28%. In spite of that, any of those 72% of illiterate Afghan women would be make more competent U.S. Reps than Sheila Jackson Lee.

It really never is done is it? LOL! Ok so since i had that minor problem, that some of you may have seen, with my belt that snugs the bottom of the JP to the body...i started doing a little research on the harness' thinking maybe i can find something better and with more support without having to spend the 200 bucks for a replica. So, i know we had determined that the JP harness may have been some kind of tank harness, possibly a firefighters. Diver harnesses were mentioned as well, and kind of made sense with the use of the divers buckle, although it seemed the dimensions we had for the harness were too small for divers oxygen tank.
So i just decided to randomly see if i could find something similar that may be cost effective. and could possibly be used with a few mods. It wouldn't be completely screen accurate of course but would provide the same support and comfort. I found these:
The top one is 40 bucks, the bottom one is 60. I thought with some modding, these may be able to be used and be similar to what was used on screen, and give you the same back support and stability. Just a thought.
Here is the webste: Backplates & Harnesses | Technical And Cave Diving Equipment in Thailand - BIG BLUE TECH
There is also some interesting information on this site's page:
They have "kydex" back plates, which are a lightweight alloy/plastic that weigh less than a pound. The come in small to large sizes. They have a pic of it assembled with well of course not a jet pack, but you can see the size. I think something like this could work.
I also found this fire dept video..but although the size is closer, it has a lot of stuff that would need to be removed to make it usable id think. My finace's dad is a fire fighter and may have an older tank harness around, so we are going to find out and check it out.
here is the video...

Lewis Black
Black's standup star began to rise with appearances on Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and he landed a big break when he signed on as a regular contributor to The Daily Show. Since then, Black has continued to tour the country as a standup comedian, and in 2000 issued his first CD, The White Album (which naturally took its art design from the Beatles' release). The following year, Black developed a one-man show called Black Humor, which he performed in New York City. After the success of Black's weekly stint on The Daily Show, he starred in several standup specials for Comedy Central, whose record division has also released CDs of Black's on-stage rants including 2003's Rules of Enragement, 2008's Anticipation, and 2010's Stark Raving Black. In 2011, Comedy Central released an archival live recording from 1990 under the title The Prophet, with an album of new material, In God We Rust, following on the label a year later. ~ Steve Huey

Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable remainder trusts enable you to get the satisfaction of making a lifetime gift without the sacrifice. Here's how they work:
You transfer assets to a trust that pays you (and another, such as a spouse, child or friend, if you wish) income for life or for a specified number of years. Then, the assets pass to the American Museum of Natural History.
One kind of charitable remainder trust, the charitable remainder annuity trust (CRAT), provides fixed payments that do not change during the payment period. Another kind of trust, the charitable remainder unitrust (CRUT) provides payments that adjust every year as the value of the trust assets increase or decrease. Subject to certain limits, you choose the amount or percentage the trust pays out each year.
Regardless of which type of trust you use, you save taxes now because you get an income tax charitable deduction in the year you fund the trust. The deduction depends on the type of trust, your age (and that of any other beneficiaries), the percentage to be paid, the amount placed in the trust and on the applicable federal rate published by the IRS each month. The older the income beneficiary, the larger the charitable deduction. The higher the percentage payment, the smaller the charitable deduction.
In addition, there is no capital gains tax liability at the time you fund a charitable remainder trust with appreciated assets. Depending on investments, part of your payment could be favorably taxed as capital gains (which can be offset by any capital losses you may have from other investments). It is also possible that part of your payment could be tax-free.
For more information on charitable remainder trusts, please contact the Planned Giving Office at (212) 769-5119 or firstname.lastname@example.com. There is no cost or obligation to you.

To look at a house from the outside, you see siding, roof and windows. But this is only part of what makes up the house.
Look inside and you find furniture, painted walls and flooring.
A campaign is a lot like a house.
From the outside, you only see certain aspects: signs, TV ads, endless mailers. But when you're in it — when you're really involved in a campaign — it's so much more.
That's how it is for me. I am a candidate's kid.

'"We like his progress," said Larry Carriere, Sabres assistant to the general manager. "With his mobility and endurance, he's up and down the ice. He's a good, young player for us."'
Archives for February 2002
Campbell impresses Sabres with assists
Kozlov continues to nurse injury, hopes to return
'A protective boot encased his foot and ankle, and he said it could be another four weeks until that comes off.'
Russian victory gets a smile out of Kozlov
'If the Russians advance, Afinogenov will fly directly to Atlanta, where the Sabres meet the Thrashers on Tuesday.'
Sabres suffer blow
'In fact, according to reports circulating throughout Buffalo, it is a good bet that Kozlov is finished for the season and wouldn't even be available if the Sabres made the playoffs.'
Playoffs a pipe dream?
'Sabres coach Lindy Ruff has already stated the team is going to have to win at least 16 of those final 25 contests in order to make the playoffs. That seems to be a tall order for a team that has played below .500 hockey all season.'
Jeanneret enjoys road to hockey's HAAAAAALLLLL!
'There's only one reason to root for Jeanneret's retirement, and that's so he'll take his rightful place in the Hockey Hall of Fame.'
Sabres need rest
'With 25 games remaining on their schedule once the NHL season resumes, Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff summed up just what the team has to do in order to make the playoffs. "We have to win 15 or 16 of those games," stated Ruff. "It's not going to be easy. We know we have our work cut out for us. Hopefully the team will be ready for the run when the season starts up again in two weeks."'
Sabres salvage point against Devils
It could have been worse. The Buffalo Sabres needed 4 points out of the home-and-home series with the New Jersey Devils and they got one. They were lucky to get one point as it took a late goal by Taylor Pyatt to force an overtime and a 2-all draw. Now the Sabres go on a two-week hiatus as the NHL breaks for the Olympic competition.
Another unsettling tie
'"You knew it was coming," said White, who fought Rob Ray just 2:16 into the game. At 2:17, Jim McKenzie and Eric Boulton had dropped the gloves. "Obviously they want to show they stick together as a team. I think that's good for any team."'
Devils notebook
'"It was a mental mistake by me," White said of the hit that sent Buffalo's Vaclav Varada into the boards headfirst Sunday night. White was ejected from the game and later fined $1,000 by the NHL. "Whatever the consequences were, I was willing to face them."'
Sabres get passion back, make their point with Devils
'The Sabres entered the game still upset about their meek effort in Sunday's 4-1 defeat in New Jersey and were seething mad over NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell's refusal to suspend Devils defenseman Colin White for checking Vaclav Varada from behind in the loss.'
Brotherly assist for Gionta
'"To watch him play, and make it, is more than a dream come true, more than I could imagine," Joe Gionta said after the Devils' 2-2 tie with the Buffalo Sabres. "I know I couldn't do it, but he definitely makes all of us proud."'
Devils run out of gas
'"We had chances," said Holik. "It's just that they were desperate. When they're that desperate, you know they're going to get something. But the puck barely squeezed through White's pads on that play. What can you do?"'
Tough Break for Devs
'Buffalo enforcer Rob Ray picked a fight with White 2:16 into the game, no doubt in retaliation for Sunday, when White slammed Vaclav Varada into the boards from behind.'
Devils let win slip away late
'"It's been the story all year," said John Madden, who gave the Devils the lead they squandered in last night's 2-2 tie with the Sabres here.'

Hope everyone is okay. Still no power where I live (spring) and tempers are starting to get really low. The last time I have seen a power co. truck in my neighborhood was last Tuesday. It sucks big time, when you see that across the main road, they have power 4 days ago.
I hope the power co. do something really soon before something ugly happens.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 9
i'm working with webs.com right now to set up a little profile thang...
anyone have a myspace jus for their zine?
I'll probably get round to making a website for my zine at some point - I don't want to do it if possible though. I'm a web developer by trade so a LOT of my day is spent making websites. For me, making zines is about getting AWAY from that. If I make a site for my zine, that kinda defeats the whole point of making a zine in the first place, for me at least!
I have a horror blog that occasionally tracks the progress of my zine..

Have you cleaned it thoroughly? Does the same thing still happen after it has been cleaned?
It is possible that the cylinder will close more easily if you press the cylinder release until the cylinder has been fully seated. Still, this is not a good thing.
It is possible that your pistol's cylinder suffers from end-shake. That is, the cylinder is somewhat free to move fore and aft on its arbor, even though it is fully seated.
If the cylinder has end-shake, each cartridge will set back as it is fired, and will press against the recoil shield. This will cause enough friction that trigger-cocking (firing DA) becomes difficult.
End-shake could also cause the closing cylinder to hang-up on the recoil shield, as you try to close it.
Fully close the empty cylinder, but do not cock the hammer. Now, try to move the cylinder forward and backward within its mortise. If it moves noticeably, it suffers from end-shake.
The cure is to place a shim on the cylinder arbor, ahead of the cylinder. This is a job for a good gunsmith.
(Your gun may have been put on sale by its previous owner because of end-shake.)

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger and his side face Stoke at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday so, to find out more, tactical expert Michael Cox and local journalist Mike Baggaley gave their pre-match views.
"Away at Stoke City has become Arsenal's least favourite Premier League fixture. Since the Potters' promotion to the Premier League, Arsenal have won just once from four visits to the Britannia Stadium – and that victory was only sealed very late on, a 3-1 win with two goals in stoppage time back in 2009/10.
"Stoke are the most prolific set-piece team in the league – although they're not as dangerous as they once were from throw-ins - so it goes without saying that conceding cheap free-kicks should be avoided.
"Their main threat in open play is obvious - constant long balls towards the strikers. But for this to be a weapon, first Stoke must have the ball, and while it's not the most favourable environment for passing football, Arsenal's ball retention must be reliable. Tony Pulis will instruct Stoke to close down Arsenal high up the pitch in the opening moments – the midfielders and centre backs won't get time to settle on the ball. On a warm August afternoon, however, this closing down is unlikely to be sustainable for long periods.
"The partnership of Peter Crouch and Jon Walters will cause Arsenal problems. Walters is likely to play a dual role, joining Crouch up front when Stoke are preparing to launch the ball forward, but dropping back onto one of Arsenal's midfielders to make up the numbers in midfield. Last season, when Tottenham tried something similar against Arsenal, the midfield rotated to get out of the marking – this could be useful in this game.
"Crouch generally lurks at the far post when the ball is in wide positions, and Arsenal must be wary of him pulling onto the full backs for deep crosses. He won all six of his aerial duels in this game last season, and eight of the 11 he contested at Reading last weekend.
"Stoke prefer to attack down the right – last weekend, nine of their attempted 11 dribbles were own that flank, as well as the majority of their passing. However, Crouch most frequently received the ball from Marc Wilson, the left back, and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
"Playing a high defensive line will push Crouch away from goal, but Begovic boasts a huge kick from the ground. It could be worth putting a player in front of him, forcing the Bosnian to drop-kick instead. Everton's Nikica Jelavic did this at Stoke last season, with good results."
"Although Stoke haven't spent the money they have in recent summers, they have made some good investments. They have signed Geoff Cameron from Houston Dynamo, a 27-year-old United States international who could make his debut against Arsenal. Michael Kightly has come in from Wolves - he played very well at Reading on his debut - and Tom Huddlestone could be arriving from Tottenham too. So there is quite a bit of excitement about the season.
"I think they will go with a 4-4-1-1 system on Sunday, which is Tony Pulis' favoured formation. The key man will be Jon Walters, who is the deep-lying striker and his role is to disrupt the opposition midfield and get forward and support Peter Crouch if possible. Stoke accept they won't have the ball for long spells, but they will keep two banks of four to make it difficult for Arsenal and look to hit them on the break or from set pieces.
"This match is certainly one that the supporters will relish. Considering Arsenal are one of the big clubs, Stoke have a good record against them at the Britannia and there's always a bit of extra interest because of the history between the two clubs in recent years.
"Rob Huth will play - he got viral meningitis during the summer and made a surprise return on the opening day at Reading, completing the 90 minutes. But Dean Whitehead will miss out as he was sent off, and I would expect his place to be taken by Cameron.
"I will be optimistic and predict a 2-1 win to Stoke. I think Arsenal may take a while to find their feet this season, and this could be a decent time for Stoke to play them."

Dear forum members,
I will be staying at Amaravaty monastery for 24 days starting on 1st of August. I was never in monastery before. Only similar experience I have is doing 10day retreats in S.N. Goenka tradition. Since I'm coming from southern Europe to UK only to visit Amaravati, guest monk over there was kind enough to offer me 24 days stay instead of usual maximum 10 days for the first time visitors. The reason I wanted to visit monastery in the first place was to see how monks life looks like and to evaluate if that is maybe something for me.
I'm happy to go to Amaravati and grateful for the opportunity but at the same time a little frightened cause I don't know what to expect.
If anyone of you guys has any advice to share about what to bring with me to the monastery, how to behave etc. please feel free to advice. Thanks.

RALEIGH, NC -- If you can't beat 'em, tax 'em. Gov. Bev Perdue sent a message to state legislators on June 9, urging them to pass a law to tax sweepstakes videogames to the tune of $300 million a year. The funds are needed to support education, Perdue said at a press conference.
The state Legislature banned sweepstakes videogames two years ago, but this past March, the North Carolina Court of Appeals struck down that law, calling it unconstitutional. The issue appears headed for the state Supreme Court. | SEE STORY
Chase Brooks of Front Edge Marketing (Chapel Hill), leader of the Internet Based Sweepstakes Organization, endorsed the governor's new policy. Brooks said IBSO will work with the administration and legislature to craft sensible regulation.
For her part, Perdue made it clear she was holding her nose while accepting the inevitability of sweeps games, at least unless and until the Supreme Court reverses the Appeals Court ruling.
At her press conference, Perdue said: "I've got a record on it, and I don't like sweepstakes... [but] until we can outlaw them or somehow the courts allow them to be outlawed forever, we need to tax the heck out of them and regulate them hard."

Posted by Ryan Morrill on September 4, 2013
In my previous post, I covered the increasing popularity of "infographics" — both the term and the wide range of examples. I cautioned against unthinking imitation; like most trendy things, their surface shine can distract from their bad qualities, and it's easy to lose sight of basic principles and objectives. And this distraction is partly to blame for the currently polarized perception of bar charts, which are seen as both antiquated and ideal.
Both Forrester clients and internal colleagues often tell me "We want something better than bar charts" when describing how they would like to see their data visualized. At the same time, I also hear from others, jaded by the onslaught of overdesigned data graphics, who insist there is nothing better or more accurate than bar charts when it comes to visualizing and comparing data points. They don't need all the "bells and whistles." "Edward Tufte!" they cry.
So, what's causing this divide? How can a chart type be so polarizing? I think the answer lies in both the implied perception of bar charts as this basic, limited chart and the array of bad examples of both alternative visualization methods and bar charts themselves.

Keystone XL: Game over?
The impending Obama administration decision on the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would tap into the Athabasca Oil Sands production of Canada, has given rise to a vigorous grassroots opposition movement, leading to the arrests so far of over a thousand activists. At the very least, the protests have increased awareness of the implications of developing the oil sands deposits. Statements about the pipeline abound.
Jim Hansen has said that if the Athabasca Oil Sands are tapped, it's "essentially game over" for any hope of achieving a stable climate. The same news article quotes Bill McKibben as saying that the pipeline represents "the fuse to biggest carbon bomb on the planet." Others say the pipeline is no big deal, and that the brouhaha is sidetracking us from thinking about bigger climate issues. David Keith, energy and climate pundit at Calgary University, expresses that sentiment Andy Revkin says "it's a distraction from core issues and opportunities on energy and largely insignificant if your concern is averting a disruptive buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere". There's something to be said in favor of each point of view, but on the whole, I think Bill McKibben has the better of the argument, with some important qualifications. Let's do the arithmetic.
There is no shortage of environmental threats associated with the Keystone XL pipeline. Notably, the route goes through the environmentally sensitive Sandhills region of Nebraska, a decision opposed even by some supporters of the pipeline. One could also keep in mind the vast areas of Alberta that are churned up by the oil sands mining process itself. But here I will take up only the climate impact of the pipeline and associated oil sands exploitation. For that, it is important to first get a feel for what constitutes an "important" amount of carbon.
That part is relatively easy. The kind of climate we wind up with is largely determined by the total amount of carbon we emit into the atmosphere as CO2 in the time before we finally kick the fossil fuel habit (by choice or by virtue of simply running out). The link between cumulative carbon and climate was discussed at RealClimate here when the papers on the subject first came out in Nature. A good introduction to the work can be found in this National Research Council report on Climate Stabilization targets, of which I was a co-author. Here's all you ever really need to know about CO2 emissions and climate:
- The peak warming is linearly proportional to the cumulative carbon emitted
- It doesn't matter much how rapidly the carbon is emitted
- The warming you get when you stop emitting carbon is what you are stuck with for the next thousand years
- The climate recovers only slightly over the next ten thousand years
- At the mid-range of IPCC climate sensitivity, a trillion tonnes cumulative carbon gives you about 2C global mean warming above the pre-industrial temperature.

Arsenal Members Day 2008 - Exclusive Pictures
Over 4,000 Arsenal fans flocked to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday for the Club's annual Members' Day, in which members were invited to watch Arsène Wenger put his first-team squad through their paces on the Emirates Stadium pitch, as well as enjoying a number of other activities.
The Gunners stars warmed up on the pitch before taking part in a small-sided practice game, whetting the appetite for the campaign to come with a full range of intricate passing and skills. They then showed their appreciation to fans on a rainy August morning by kicking 200 footballs into the crowd. The footballing activity was completed with a penalty shoot-out - in which five competition winners had the chance of a lifetime to take on Gunners number one Manuel Almunia from 12 yards. The Spaniard was kept equally on his toes when Arsène Wenger himself sidefooted a loose ball towards his goal, tipping the ball round the post!
Both Manuel and Arsène then took part in on-pitch interviews, outlining their hopes ahead of the forthcoming season. The fun continued in Block 31, where a special Arsenal Extra Time session featured music from an Elvis impersonator and a question-and-answer session in which comedian Matt Lucas grilled Arsenal legends Sammy Nelson, Charlie George and Bob Wilson.

Have questions? Call (800) 615-3055 to speak to a cancer information specialist.
Making an educated treatment decision begins with the stage, or progression, of the disease. The stage of head and neck cancer is one of the most important factors in evaluating treatment options.
Our cancer doctors use a variety of diagnostic tests to evaluate head and neck cancer and develop an individualized treatment plan. If you have been recently diagnosed, we will review your pathology to confirm you have received the correct diagnosis and staging information, and develop a personalized treatment plan. If you have a recurrence, we will perform comprehensive testing and identify a treatment approach that is suited to your needs.
Cancer staging is the process used to determine how much a cancer has spread.
Head and neck cancer stages are based on the results of physical exams, endoscopies, biopsies and any imaging tests (CT scan, MRI, chest X-ray and/or PET scans).
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) developed the TNM cancer staging system to evaluate three primary factors when it comes to treating cancer: T, N and M:
During the head and neck cancer staging process, your doctor will assign T, N and M values to the disease based on its microscopic appearance. Your care team at CTCA will thoroughly review your medical history, family history and other factors to develop an individualized treatment plan for you.
We understand you may be feeling overwhelmed with questions and concerns about your type of cancer and what it all means. We're here to help guide you through the process.

Georgia's Director of Sports Nutrition Jen Ketterly was recently awarded the Excellence/Perseverance
Award from the Collegiate & Professional Sports Dietician Association
(CPSDA) at the group's annual convention earlier this month. The award is given
annually in recognition of "immeasurable enthusiasm and extraordinary
dedication" to the profession and the organization. In her role as the head of
the two-year-old sports nutrition department within the UGA Athletic
Association, Ketterly is responsible for managing nutrition education for
student-athletes, writing individual nutrition plans, monitoring body
composition, evaluating nutritional supplements, and planning pre-game and
travel meals for the teams. In addition, she oversees nutrition care for football,
men's and women's basketball, volleyball, and women's golf.
Just after Ketterly's award was announced, UGA Director of Athletics Greg McGarity was given the CPSDA's Tom Osborne Award for Commitment to Nutrition, as he was instrumental in starting the program at Georgia and has allowed Ketterly and her team to be successful through his support of their work.
Between The Hedges recently sat down with Ketterly to discuss the ins and outs of her work as Georgia's nutritionist, and what results she has seen from the student-athletes after two years here.
Between The Hedges: What did the CPSDA award mean to you?
Jen Ketterly: It was great to be recognized by our association, my peers and colleagues. It's a testament to the people I've worked with and the places I've been. I'm a believer that you're a sum of your parts, and this shows that I've been around some great people and places in my career.
BTH: How did you get into sports nutrition and how did you get to Georgia?
JK: I was a student-athlete - I played basketball at Cornell University - and growing up at some of the elite camps I attended they would have sessions for us on things like GRE and SAT prep, but they'd also have information on nutrition, and how hydrating and taking iron and eating certain foods could have a positive impact on your performance. I remember thinking it was really cool that those things could affect the way you played. When I was recruited to Cornell I was lucky that they had a great nutrition program. At the time there was only one full-time sports dietitian in the country, and that was Kris Clark at Penn State. It was just coming onto the scene and it wasn't even a field of its own at that time. It was just an idea. I thought it was something I would really like to do and it seemed like a neat path. It's been great to see it develop to where it is today, embraced by athletic programs everywhere. I got to Georgia through stops at UConn and UNC.
BTH: How did the start of the program here at Georgia come about?
JK: We didn't have a nutrition program at all before our staff came on bard. We were one of the few SEC schools who didn't. When Greg McGarity came on board in 2010, he recognized that as one of the gaps in our services provided to student-athletes. He came from Florida and worked with their training table there, and when he came here he was able to identify that need. Ron Courson was charged with running the search and also absorbing the nutrition program under the sports medicine department. That's how it happened.
BTH: What are your primary responsibilities?
JK: We wear a bunch of different hats each and every day. A couple of key areas are, first, the training table. We have a temporary space in Stegeman Coliseum that services our football, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, tennis, and some baseball student-athletes - and we oversee that effort administratively and programmatically. We work with food services on that, and at first we had to do everything from planning the menu to running electrical lines for our hot bar to ordering mass beverages for 200 people every day. Training table is a big area for us. Second, we are tasked with servicing our programs - similarly to how the athletic trainers and sports information staff have people assigned to sports, we have that as well. So our staff members work directly with the teams to meet with the student-athletes and make plans based on their needs. We work on education - our goal as a staff is to change the culture of what nutrition was in the athletic department. We want to be very performance-based and positive. We work with the sports' directors of operations on planning meals both and home and on the road, and on game days we manage what needs to happen in terms of hydration and fueling so we can be the best-fueled team out there. We work with supplement vendors to manage that product, and from a health and safety standpoint we make sure that we are educating on the risk and benefits of certain supplements, because of course we have to adhere to stringent UGA and NCAA drug testing policies. Those are a few of our biggest jobs.
BTH: How have the student-athletes received the nutrition education?
JK: That has been one of the most pleasant surprises since being here. Our program is celebrating its two-year anniversary this July, and since we've been here we've had great support from the coaches. They've embraced what we're doing without a doubt. The majority of the student-athletes have taken it all in stride and opened themselves up on how they can get better. We take the angle not of "don't do this and this" and letting them know that they don't have to give up everything they like, but letting them know it's a learning process and teaching them how they can best utilize foods and fluids to their advantage.
BTH: How has the department grown since you arrived? Have you achieved the goals you set?
JK: Coming in, we would laugh because we came into our offices and there was nothing here. Maria [Breen] and I were hired on the same day and we came into these empty offices, and we were like, "Okay, here we go." My goal was to begin to establish that conversation about nutrition, about what it is and what it means. Our philosophy is just as it says on our logo - "Prevent, Protect, Perform." Good nutrition programs can help prevent injury. The protection element is about protecting eligibility through knowledge of those banned substances. And the performance element is very clear - science has taught us that good nutrition definitely can impact your strength, speed, stamina, endurance, and power in a positive way. Those were the elements we wanted to work with the teams on understanding. We also wanted to build the infrastructure of making those elements support our teams and make the concepts happen. I think we've done a great job of that.
BTH: What is the goal of the nutrition department going forward?
JK: The big goal we have is to create a training table facility for all our student-athletes that we can grow into and where we can have team functions. We do a lot of things surrounding food and meals, so we would like a space that is supportive of all our messages we're promoting and have a great meal. From there, I think we would like to have a better staff-to-team ratio. Right now we have about a 5-6-7 ratio, where each of our staff members works with five to seven teams and we'd like to improve on that. It would be nice to give our teams more individualized attention.
BTH: What else do you want people to know about your program?
JK: We've been able to accomplish a lot in a short time. It's truly a testament to Greg being here and giving us the support we need, and identifying that this is additive to our student-athletes and their success. He's passionate about taking care of them on and off the field and this is an example of that commitment. We are also lucky to have the wonderful sports medicine staff that we do, starting at the top from Ron Courson as our leader. He gives us the creative space and support to do what we do, and that's special.

Having trouble finding that perfect gift for that special someone. In story posted in the Scientist you can learn of a new non-profit program entitled "MyMicrobes" where they are calling interested people to have the microbiome of the gut sequenced. It only will cost 2,100 but the organizers are hoping that the sequence information coupled with information about diet and and gi issues will help advance our understanding of the wonders provided to us by our gut flora.

Gov. Brewer has decided against setting up an O-Care exchange for Arizona
posted at 7:21 pm on November 28, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
With Gov. Jan Brewer making it official on Wednesday, Arizona joined the list of states electing not to take on the expensive administrative nightmare that these ObamaCare insurance exchanges are quickly turning out to be.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has decided against creating a state-run health insurance exchange to implement a key part of President Barack Obama's federal health care law.
Brewer's decision announced Wednesday means the federal government will set up an online marketplace for the state, offering subsidized private health coverage to the middle class. The governor reiterated her unwavering opposition to the health care overhaul, and said there were too many costs and questions associated with a state-run exchange.
"The federal government would maintain oversight and control over virtually every aspect of our exchange, limiting our ability to meet the unique needs of Arizonans and the Arizona insurance market," she said in a statement.

Just over a month ago, we caught a glimpse of a freshly painted SR400 engine along side an unusual aluminum tank on Salty Speed Co.'s Instagram feed. Based on what we knew Australian natives Matt Hipsley and Sam Connelly were capable of, they had our attention. You may remember the first build from Salty Speed Co., a simply styled CB250 Brat Tracker. Since then, Matt and Sam have churned out four more builds outside of their day jobs, the latest being the 1988 Yamaha SR400 you see here.
Built as Matt's personal ride, the bike can serve as a rolling business card for what Salty Speed Co. can do. "I originally picked it up as an import from Japan, rode it around stock for a while and then had a few weeks between client builds to do something for myself. The SR is a popular platform for customizing, and I wanted to see what we could achieve with one. Whilst we have built a number of 70's Honda CB's, the SR offers a slightly more modern and reliable base bike. No dodgy charging systems to deal with!"
"When I first fitted it, I hated it. However, as the build developed I found that it suited the aesthetic I was trying to achieve perfectly."
Matt focused the builds inspiration around one element – the aluminum scrambler tank. "When I first fitted it, I hated it. However as the build developed I found that it suited the aesthetic I was trying to achieve perfectly. With the aluminium tank, fenders and wheels, as well as the airbox and battery removed, the bike is now considerably lighter than stock. So even with retaining the stock carb and engine specs, the performance has increased. I'm not sure what you would call it. It's sort of a brat-scrambler-tracker fusion."
Owner: Matt Hipsley – Salty Speed Co.
Year/Make/Model: 1988 Yamaha SR400

Other: Aluminium front and rear fenders. Daytona mini speedo.
The finished bike seamlessly integrates the tastefully these components into a bike that could have rolled off the assembly line this way. Matt and Sam's inspiration is drawn from their influences in the moto industry like Classified Moto, Wrenchmonkees, Deus and CRD. However, they find motivation from another source that explains their incredibly clean aesthetic. "My biggest motivation comes from Jonathan Ward of Icon 4x4. His design ethic and the attention to detail he puts into his product is mind-blowing. Whilst it's pretty hard for us, operating from a simple garage, to achieve the level of finish and innovation that they achieve at Icon, they inspire me to try to achieve a super clean and simple aesthetic with our bikes."

Liddick: Clarifying the Catholic Church's mission
May 7, 2012
I blame Bill Ritter.
The following thoughts, percolating for awhile, were finally pulled into focus by the former governor's recent comments on the Catholic Church. Published as an op-ed in the Denver Post, they are one example among many of the problems the political class has with this venerable institution.
"A Departure from the Catholic Church's Mission," the headline cried. Now, as a columnist I know the ex-guv didn't pen that line: headlines are all generated in a giant factory buried deep beneath Cleveland. Still, it nicely captures Ritter's argument: The church's longstanding efforts on behalf of the poor, the downtrodden, the vulnerable; its quest for "justice" and "service," are being derailed by "conservative activists" in the hierarchy. Nor is he alone in his criticism: From New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd to the White House, from Nancy Pelosi to Paul Ryan, our pols and their hangers-on have trouble deciphering what the church is about. Or maybe they are engaged in that longstanding American tradition, a willful failure to understand.
In the preface to his complaint, our former governor describes himself as "a practicing Catholic," but he seems to need a little more practice. He and many others of the leftist flavors see only the church's services to, and support for the poor as legitimate functions. They are therefore goaded to fury by the church's steadfast opposition to gay marriage and civil unions; to abortion and other reproductive practices it considers seriously sinful; and to an attitude increasingly in vogue on the left end of the political spectrum that religion is an illegitimate topic for the public square.
Their error lies in thinking that, because the church and its members engage in great works of charity and service to the poor, it is nothing more than a social welfare organization. This view is made very plain in the former governor's comments, but he and the others who embrace this line of reasoning are profoundly mistaken.
Their mirror image on the Right suffers from a similar misapprehension. Conservatives of various strengths and stripes look first to the church's opposition to various secular practices and embrace it as an ally in what they see as a constant struggle against the deterioration of our culture and public life. What infuriates and confounds them is the church's embrace of "the least among us," and its call to recognize, honor and support the dignity of each individual human being, regardless of circumstance.
Both of these views, and both sets of frustrations, spring from a profound misunderstanding of the nature – and yes, the "mission" – of the Catholic church.
At its base and by its nature, the church is beyond politics as the term is generally understood. Its mission in this world is not primarily to provide social services, to succor the defenseless nor to be a voice for the voiceless. It has another, and higher, purpose. Neither is it here to justify or support any particular political party or philosophy. The Church has cooperated with governments since the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine in the fourth century, and has opposed them since the conflict between Bishop Ambrose of Milan and Emperor Theodosius soon after.
The Church's "mission," if we wish to speak of it as such, is salvation: the redemption of human souls. Its goals are not the goals of this world and its politics, such as they are, are not the politics of Left or Right. As a consequence, today's politicians criticize the church for inconsistencies or, to use the former governor's words, making "a drastic departure" from its core mission, which they see as "addressing poverty and hunger in a serious way." Their criticisms, based in political dogmas and current conveniences, miss the point: the Catholic Church serves another master, and measures its success or failure by other criteria, than the secular leaders with whom we are familiar.
There is another point, equally as important: The church abides. It has seen the rise and fall of states and world-girdling empires. It has survived the profoundest challenges and seen the creation and disappearance of all manner of philosophies, political, economic and moral. It cares not a wit for the current fashion in secular politics or popular belief. It is unmoved by opinion polls, because it cares only about one opinion, and pollsters do not have that telephone number. Its attention is firmly fixed not on the here and now, but on the universal and eternal. As such it provides durable tools to measure the ephemeral positions our present politicians find so crucial, which is why they are so often wounded and baffled by its pronouncements.
But it's simple, really – whether Bill Ritter understands it or not.

Still going strong after a record-breaking opening, "Oz:The Great and Powerful" easily grabbed another weekend at the top for March 15-17, 2013.
Disney's tale of the man who would become the Wizard took in $11.4 million on Friday, and racked up a $42.2 million sophomore weekend.
Eager to show off their latest work, stars turned up for the Hollywood premiere of "the Incredible Burt Wonderstone" on Monday evening (March 11).
Heading to Austin to promote their new comedy, Olivia Wilde, Steve Carell, and Jim Carrey attended the premiere of "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" during the 2013 SXSW Festival at the Paramount Theatre on Friday (March 8).
Blending the comedic talent of two powerhouses, Warner Bros. Pictures released a new trailer for "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" on Thursday (March 7).
The movie follows megastar musicians Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton, who find their Vegas empire threatened by guerilla street musician Steve Gray.
He plays the 'Criss Angel' type in the forthcoming "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" magic flick, and Jim Carrey had to work extra hard to attain the sexy physique necessary for the role.
The "Truman Show" stud goes shirtless throughout the movie (and yes, he's ripped) but as soon as he was done filming, Jim went back to his normal eating regime.
He's never short on laughs, and Steve Carell looks hilarious in the new trailer for his film "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone."

Are you a member of any club or student group?: O.U.T.I.N.G. Club,
Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society, Engineering and Architecture Honor Society, Phi Theta
Kappa International Honor Society – Committee Leader of Leadership, and the
Student Government Association - Student-at-Large, Cranford Campus.
Favorite Class at Union: Mathematics
Why did you choose Union?: I chose Union County College thanks to
my Aunt. She had come to Union County College to study, and she loved the campus,
and the way the classes were taught.
What is your fondest memory so far at Union?: My fondest memory would
be every day at Union County College because every time I am on campus, I feel as
if I am home. When I go from class to class, it takes me about twenty minutes to
go from one classroom to the other because I have to say hello to all the people
I know.
Interesting fact about yourself: I am a very charismatic person.
I like to meet people every day, and make friends all the time. I love sports and
music, but I also love my life as a student and the career that I chose to pursue.
I love sports very much. I try to do any type of sport. This summer I'm talking
to Dr. Rajpara about starting a Cricket Club.
What is the biggest adjustment you had to make coming to
college?: I had to leave my native country, my family, and my friends to be able
to come to the United Sates as an international student. Language wasn't an issue
since I already knew English basics. When I got here, I cleaned up my accent.
Career or further education Goals: After graduating Union County
College with an Associate's Degree, I will transfer to New Jersey Institute of Technology
to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering. After, I am planning to pursue
a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Also, I will establish my own engineering
firm if God provides.
Is there anything else we ought to know about you?: I love music.
I sing, play the piano, guitar and an instrument that we have in our country called
the Cuatro. From all of these, I prefer piano the best.

Pros: Strong motor
Cons: Difficult to store, to small of a feed tube.
Not sure what happened to the quality of Cuisinart but I am not at all with how this peace of kitchen equipment. About three months after buying this processor I was making salsa and using the pulse feature when all of a sudden the cutting blade exploded and destroyed the cup and some how managed to walk away without a scratch, lucky I guess. Cuisinart sent me all the replacement parts, but the thing still scares me.
