4 Netbook Operating Systems Worth Checking Out
Netbooks are fantastic portable devices. They're portable, lightweight and–perhaps best of all–really cheap. But netbooks can seem hopelessly limited when used with standard desktop operating systems such as Windows or Ubuntu. This is why I recommend every netbook owner look into getting a netbook operating system.
A netbook OS is, simply put, an operating system designed with netbook users in mind. These will leave out features netbook users never need, such as CD burning. They also typically feature a user interface that keeps in mind the limited real estate netbooks feature.
Currently, the best netbook operating systems on the market are Linux-based, and most of those are based on Ubuntu. If you're not sure what your options are, you've found the right article. Below are four excellent systems you can download right now, and another to keep an eye on for later this year.
Ubuntu Netbook Edition
Most Linux netbook systems seem to be based off of this one in some way or another, so it's really worth starting with Ubuntu Netbook Edition (previously named Ubuntu Netbook Remix.) In March of 2008, the folks at Canonical launched this operating system, attempting to establish the Ubuntu brand on the rapidly expanding netbook market. It worked: Dell sells Ubuntu netbooks and Canonical is reportedly working out a bunch of other deals.
This operating system wasn't exactly designed from the ground up. It's a Gnome-based system including most of the standard Ubuntu apps (Firefox, Open Office, F-Spot, etc.) What makes this setup different is compatibility with netbook hardware, and a GUI tailor-made to take advantage of the limited real estate netbook screens feature.
You don't need to buy a Ubuntu netbook to make use of Ubuntu; you can install it on your netbook right now. Find instructions for doing so and a download over at Ubuntu.com.
I'm not going to lie: this is the OS on my netbook right now. In fact, I'm writing this post from Jolicloud. I explained my love for this system in a recent post Jolicloud: The Operating System Download for Netbook You've Been Looking For Read More .
I won't rehash too much here, so read the above article to find out more, but know that this system takes all that is good about Ubuntu Netbook Edition and builds from there. You'll find an incredibly easy to use app installation process, apps customized to work well with your netbook and much more.
It's also worth pointing out that this system is compatible with most netbooks on the market; check out a list of working computers here.
Find Jolicloud over at Jolicloud.com; you'll even find instructions for a simple installation.
This one's not exactly a netbook operating system per se, but it can make a pretty good one. Crunchbang is based on Ubuntu but focuses on "speed, style and substance" to quote their website. Based on the lightweight Openbox window manager, Crunchbang certainly is fast and could run really well on your netbook. I highly suggest trying this out if traditional netbook operating systems don't work out for you.
Find a download over at crunchbanglinux.org.
It's worth noting that in 2008, a group of EEE enthusiasts made a custom Crunchbang for EEE users: CrunchEEE. Check out Cruncheee here, but know that it's over a year out of date.
Ubuntu Netbook Edition is great, but a lot of things don't work out of the box. MP3s, for example, can't be played until you install the codecs. EasyPeasy aims to be simple by offering propietary applications and codecs out of the box. You'll be pleased to find MakeUseOf favourites including Skype and Picasa included by default.
Installing EasyPeasy is pretty easy. Check out downloads and installation instructions over at easypeasy.com
Honorable Mention: Moblin/Meego
Back in December, I raved about the Moblin project in an article entitled "The Moblin Netbook OS – Giving Chrome OS a Run For Its Money." Well, since I wrote that article, Moblin merged with Nokia's Maemo project to become Meego. There's no downloadable version of this system yet, but based on how excellent Moblin was, I'm expecting big things. Keep an eye on this project, and know that I'll write a review here at MakeUseOf as soon as something solid comes out.
For now you can still download the old Moblin at moblin.org and keep up with the Meego project at meego.com.
There are a number of great netbooks on the market, and a bunch more great netbook operating systems worth trying out. I've only highlighted a few of the pack leaders worth checking out, but there's a lot more beneath the surface if you're willing to dig.
Do you know of any more netbook operating systems worth checking out? If you do, please share in the comments below. Sharing is caring.

DHPA Jewish Historical Resources
Allen County
Fort Wayne, the county seat of Allen County developed from a fort founded in 1794 fort. Early pioneers were attracted to Fort Wayne by the profitable fur trade. The first known Jewish man in the area was John Jacob Hays, who moved to Cahokia on the Mississippi in 1793 and was appointed an Indian agent at Fort Wayne.
Construction of the Wabash & Erie Canal in the 1830s fostered further commercial possibilities and caused a great influx of immigrants to the growing community. Jewish immigrants from Germany began arriving in Fort Wayne in the 1830s. Although no Jews are listed in the 1840 census, Sigmund Redelsheimer had arrived the year before and soon established a general store on Columbia Street in partnership with Abraham Oppenheimer. Redelsheimer would help found the first congregation. In 1844, Isaac Lauferty arrived to establish a clothing store, and later a private bank. In 1875, the city directory lists Lauferty as a banker and broker.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A strong second half and much better free throw shooting propelled California over LSU, sending the Bears to the round of eight for the first time in program history.
Layshia Clarendon scored 19 points to lead California to a 73-63 victory over LSU on Saturday night.
"We are in the Elite Eight, one game away from New Orleans," Clarendon said. "This is awesome."
In a ragged game in which neither team shot well, California made 26 of 41 free throws to stay ahead of LSU. That was significant because Cal missed eight of its last 11 free throws in its previous game against South Florida, and ended up needing overtime to win.
"We need to step up and hit our free throws," Clarendon said. "That's what we finally did."
Clarendon had just two points in the first half, when the teams were tied at 26. But she scored 17 in the second half as Cal outscored the Lady Tigers 47-37 for the win.
"We were us in the second half. We were Cal," coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "I'm so incredibly proud of this group."
Gennifer Brandon had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Brittany Boyd added 14 points for second-seeded Cal (31-3), which will play Georgia in the Spokane Regional final Monday night. Fourth-seeded Georgia beat top-seeded Stanford 61-59 in Saturday's opening semifinal.
Theresa Plaisance had 15 points and 12 rebounds for sixth-seeded LSU (22-12).
Adrienne Webb, who also scored 15 for LSU, said her team gave Cal too many chances at the free throw line in the second half.
"We were putting them on the line and they were knocking down free throws," Webb said.
Plaisance said the plan was to send Cal to the free throw line in hopes they would miss and LSU could get the rebound and score.
The Lady Tigers were in the game until a scoring drought late in the second half ended their chances. They were seeking their first berth in the round of eight since 2008.
After the score was tied at 26 at halftime, Cal opened the second half with an 8-2 run for a 34-28 lead.
"Our intensity might have slacked up a little bit," Webb said. "We came out a little flat."
But Webb, Shanece McKinney and Bianca Lutley scored consecutive baskets for LSU to tie the score at 34-34.
The teams traded the lead several times after that.
Mikayla Miles hit a 3-pointer to cap a 9-2 run that put Cal ahead 46-40.
Brandon sank two free throws and a field goal to help the Bears take a 54-45 advantage, their biggest lead to that point, with 7:44 left. Boyd's 3-pointer pushed Cal's lead to 58-46 with 5:20 left.
LSU, meanwhile, went more than five minutes without a field goal and fell behind 62-46. Webb broke LSU's field goal drought with 2:28 left in the game, but by then the Lady Tigers trailed 64-49.
Cal shot just 37.9 percent in the game, but made 50 percent of its shots in the second half. Cal had the edge in rebounding, 42-41.
The Lady Tigers shot 38.8 percent, and they committed 16 turnovers to 11 for Cal.
LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said her team missed too many easy shots. But she was proud of her team for overcoming adversity and clawing their way to the round of 16.
"These young ladies came together," Caldwell said. "They put LSU back on the map as a dominant program."
Neither team shot well in a low-scoring first half.
California took a 9-4 lead before LSU went on an 8-2 run to go up 18-16. The teams traded baskets after that and two free throws by Cal's Brandon tied the score 26-all at halftime.
LSU shot 40 percent in the first half, and was led by Plaisance's eight points. McKinney, a 6-foot-4 forward, had five blocks in the first half for the Lady Tigers. Cal shot just 29 percent in the half, and Clarendon was held to just two points.
"I really talked to them at the half about not being frustrated," Gottlieb said. "They try to disrupt you and make you uncomfortable."
LSU and Cal were playing for the first time since their sole previous meeting in 1981.
Cal's 31 wins extended the team record set this season. Cal tied Stanford for the Pac-12 regular-season title, and lost to UCLA in the conference tournament.
Clarendon credited Gottlieb with keeping the players pointed in the direction that has led to the round of eight.
"As a player, you just kind of try to play day by day and practice and you're in the tournament and you just try to stay really focused on every game," Clarendon said. "I think Lindsay, of all people, knew we were capable of this."

Coriander Coriandrum sativum
Coriander is an annual herb native to Southern Europe, Northern Africa and South West Asia. Its name comes from the Latin 'Koros' meaning 'bed-bug' which alluded to its potent and fragrant scent that was believed to deter such insects!
Coriander seeds are one of the primary digestives used in Indian cooking, specifically for curry mixes and in chai teas. The seed is wonderfully warming in taste, whereas the leaf has a much cooler palate.
Its an essential ingredient in our Detox tea and Detox with Lemon.

Mariners score 2 in 9th to beat Royals 7-5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Brad Miller homered off Royals closer Greg Holland to break a ninth-inning tie, and the Seattle Mariners beat Kansas City 7-5 despite blowing an early five-run lead Friday night.
Charlie Furbush (1-4) inherited a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the eighth, but the Mariners reliever calmly retired Mike Moustakas on a lazy popup to shallow right field. Furbush then struck out Alcides Escobar to silence a sellout crowd of 38,475 and keep the game tied 5-all.
Miller's homer off Holland (0-2) came on the fifth pitch of his at-bat, and just skirted the foul pole in right field. Logan Morrison drove in another run later in the ninth.
Fernando Rodney allowed two singles in the ninth, but the veteran bounced back to retire pinch-hitter Nori Aoki on a groundout and Alex Gordon swinging to earn his 19th save.

The Basics:
Toronto FC (2-4-0, 6th in East) vs. Chicago Fire (2-2-2, t-2nd in East)
All time record: Chicago leads 3-2-2
Click for Broadcast Info
What's at Stake?
Toronto are in the midst of a busy month with seven games (five away) in May. They will look to snatch a win at home—where they are 2-0—before embarking on a three-game road trip. After facing Chicago, the Reds travel to Montreal, Los Angeles and Vancouver over the next week and a half for MLS and Nutrilite Canadian Championship action.
Depth will be a key to success. Toronto are looking to rebound from last Saturday's 2-1 loss at Real Salt Lake. The news of that day was Preki's decision to rest leading scorer Dwayne De Rosario and Julian de Guzman against RSL. He admitted it was a mistake this week and should keep things simple this time around.
Chicago are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Chivas USA in which they were badly outshot, 14-4. Key midfielder Justin Mapp went down with a lower left leg injury and will be out of the lineup against TFC. Chicago are 1-1-1 away from Toyota Park, and this match is the first of a two-game road trip that will also include a visit to Kansas City next Saturday.
Following that game, the Fire return to Bridgeview for six straight home games including three MLS games, the Sister Cities Cup and a match against AC Milan at Soldier Field. So this road trip is one to survive more than an opportunity to overreach for points.
Last Meeting:
The two teams played to a 2-2 draw Sept. 26, 2009, in a see-saw affair at Toyota Park that Chicago twice come back from one-goal deficits. TFC conceded a goal in the final 15 minutes to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory. The two missed points proved to costly as Toronto ultimately missed the playoffs by one point.
Dwayne De Rosario scored in the sixth minute to stake the Reds to an early lead before an own goal just eight minutes later drew Chicago even. Former Fire striker Chad Barrett then gave Toronto the lead again just a minute into the second half. But U.S. international Brian McBride scored in the 78th minute to help the Fire salvage a point.
Heroes & Villains
Toronto's midfield vs. Chicago's midfield: The Fire's dynamic and offensive midfield, which includes playmakers Marco Pappa and Baggio Husidic, who have combined for four goals, will be a handful for a defensive-oriented TFC midfield. The match may well be decided in this part of the field. If De Guzman and Co. can stifle Chicago's midfield and cut off service to McBride and speedy Ghanaian striker Patrick Nyarko, the home side should prevail.
Toronto's Dwayne De Rosario vs. Chicago's Brian McBride: These two are the irrespective go-to-guys on offense and their ability to exert themselves will go a long way in determining their team's fortunes. De Rosario is Toronto's offense, scoring six of the team's seven goals. If Chicago can suffocate DeRo, they will shut down Toronto. Meanwhile, Chicago's balanced attack hides the fact that the aging McBride still has a great nose for the goal and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Toronto's defense will monitor him at all times and be physical with him in the air on corners and set plays.
Toronto striker Chad Barrett vs. Chicago striker Patrick Nyarko: While the attention will be on De Rosario and McBride, the wildcard may be which of these two players steals the spotlight. The tireless Barrett finally got on the scoresheet last week against Montreal. Nyarko has been the Fire's most consistent and lethal attacker stretching backlines and outpacing defenders with ease.
Toronto FC coach Preki vs. Toronto FC: Preki outmaneuvered himself not starting both De Rosario and de Guzman in last Saturday's loss at Real Salt Lake. As mentioned, he later admitted to the blunder. But he's shown a penchant for tinkering and for a team that's still trying to gel, this can be disastrous. Does Preki have another head-scratching move in the cards against Chicago?
Stats that make you go "Hm":
Toronto FC captain Dwayne De Rosario has six goals in six games and is an early contender for the league's Golden Boot Award.
Toronto is undefeated at home this season, yet 0-4 away from BMO Field.
Chicago's Ghanaian striker Patrick Nyarko is riding a four-game assist streak and is one shy of matching the club's record of five in a season, held jointly by Hristo Stoitchkov (2000) and Jesse Marsch (2001).
He said it:
"There're things that I can always do better and I think that's something that makes me play okay every game because I know my faults and the things I do wrong every game. Definitely, if I can give that sense to my back four that I am consistent and there to bail them out that's good because that's important, but I have a long ways to go." — Toronto FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei

JERUSALEM, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Israel is willing to engage in peace talks with the Palestinians if they agree to resume without preconditions, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said.
"Today there is no peace process because Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas won't agree to peace talks without preconditions. I'll make peace if my interlocutor is someone who doesn't embrace Hamas and doesn't greet the people who rained rockets on the country," Netanyahu said in an interview Monday on Israel's Channel 2 television.
"Our hand is outstretched for peace, but we can only do it if we are strong. If Abbas is willing to negotiate without preconditions he will find me at the table."
Earlier, King Abdullah of Jordan warned the ongoing stalemate could plunge the region into violence.
Meeting with members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Amman, Abdullah warned if Israel maintains its fortress mentality, ignoring political changes in the region and peoples' aspirations for pluralism and dignity, it will become isolated from the rest of the region, The Jordan Times said, quoting a statement issued by the Royal Court.
He called on Palestinians and Israelis to embark on talks based on the two-state solution, which he said is the only formula to end the conflict. Such a solution will lead to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on 1967 lines with east Jerusalem as its capital, to live alongside Israel, the paper quoted him as saying.
Jordan, he said, will pursue efforts with international and regional players to reach a comprehensive peace deal that will end the Mideast conflict.

Dr Oz and anti-oxidants
Dr Oz, aging and "auntie oxidants"
When having a lemon and using it is a good thing…
Source – Oprah.com; Muriella's Corner online newsletter
Your change to a newer, healthier life starts in your refrigerator. The first thing you need in there is plenty of foods rich in antioxidants.
But what are antioxidants? Why are they so good for anti-aging?
To explain, Dr. Oz compares apples to apples—one half of this apple was sprinkled with lemon juice and the other was not. While the lemony half remains new and crisp-looking, the untreated half becomes brown and shriveled because of exposure to oxygen, also called oxidation. "The same thing happens to our skin, to our heart, to our eyes," Dr. Oz says. "All of our bodies need to have the antioxidants."
As their name implies, antioxidants do to your body what the lemon juice does to an apple—help prevent the damage caused by oxygen exposure.
While lemons do have some anti-aging benefits—similar to onions—Dr. Oz says there are several foods that are much more potent. Read More Here on Oprah.com
There is a lot of discussion on antioxidants, those rascal free radicals, alkaliniity, ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) etc., etc. David Wolfe (aka Mr Avocado) joins in throwing some light on these terms and issues and help us understand in more depth the importance of dealing with free radicals and of taking in antioxidants.

Freshman Olivia Carroll helped the Liberty defense notch a shutout on Friday against UC Davis.
The Liberty Lady Flames field hockey squad punched its ticket to tomorrow's NorPac title game with a 6-0 blanking of the UC Davis Aggies on Friday afternoon at Liberty Field Hockey Field. The Lady Flames will host No. 1W and 10th ranked Stanford in tomorrow's title match, which is slated to begin at 1:30 p.m. The game will be a rematch of last season's championship game in Farmville, Va., in which the Cardinal downed Liberty, 3-0. The Lady Flames are the first East Division team to reach back-to-back title matches.
Sarah Gipe led Liberty with two goals and the defense pitched its fifth shutout in the last six contests and eighth overall this season. The Lady Flames run their winning streak to a program-best 11 straight games and improve to 16-4 overall. UC Davis, playing in its first NorPac Championship semifinal, falls to 6-13 on the season. The Aggies will meet Longwood in tomorrow's third place game at 11 a.m.
From the moment the Lady Flames emerged from the locker room, their energy and excitement was evident. Liberty turned its energy into two goals in the first 7:07 of the contest, putting the Aggies in an early hole.
On the Lady Flames' first penalty corner of the day, Hannah Jones whipped the ball into the top of the circle to the stopper Bethany Barr. After Barr made the stop, the ball was passed around the top of the circle a couple of times before Natalie Barr knocked it back across to the left side to Serena Barr. In one sweeping motion, the freshman lined the pass into the cage, giving Liberty the 1-0 advantage.
A mere 1:14 later, the Lady Flames forced a penalty on UC Davis, setting up a stroke opportunity for Jones. The sophomore went top shelf on goalkeeper Elizabeth Lee, making her a perfect 3-for-3 on penalty strokes this season and extending Liberty's lead to 2-0.
The offensive onslaught continued in the 23rd minute. Jordan Richardson found Hannah Doherty at the top of the circle with a pass from the right side. Doherty blasted a shot into the back of the cage for her first marker of the year and a 3-0 Lady Flames' edge.
Nearing the 10 minute mark of the first half, Abbey Basom ripped a shot on cage, but her attempt was knocked away by Lee. The ball bounded toward Gipe and the sophomore snuck it into the goal from close range. Gipe's first of two scores on the day upped the lead to 4-0.
The Lady Flames pushed their advantage to 5-0 with 8:13 remaining until halftime. Erin Dombach sent a hard pass from the top of the circle, which Gipe tipped past Lee and into the cage for her second goal of the game and seventh of the season.
Just like it did in yesterday's contest against Cal, Liberty's defensive unit proved to be nearly impenetrable. Jones, Helen Doolittle, Olivia Carroll and Serena Barr, along with a host of others, held UC Davis to zero shots and zero penalty corners in the opening frame.
Entering the second half, Liberty switched goalkeepers, inserting Mallory Cuccio into the cage, replacing starter Ann Jefferis. Cuccio was tested in the 43rd minute, as Danielle Koehne sent the Aggies' first shot of the game on cage, but the sophomore made the save.
With 13:12 elapsed in the final stanza, there was another Barr-to-Barr connection. This time it was twin sisters Serena and Bethany hooking up for the score. Serena Barr sent a pass from the left side to Bethany Barr at the top of the circle and the midfielder blasted her fifth goal of the year into the cage, pushing Liberty's lead to 6-0.
UC Davis' final attempt to get on the scoreboard came with 3:45 remaining in the contest. Cuccio turned away a shot by Agustina Singh to seal the 6-0 shutout win for the Lady Flames.
For the game, Liberty outshot the Aggies, 17-3, and forced five short corners to zero for UC Davis. It was the first time this season, the Lady Flames have held their opponent to no penalty corners in a game.
In goal, Jefferis and Cuccio each played a half for Liberty. Jefferis was not forced to make a save, while Cuccio tallied two stops. The Aggies also used two goalkeepers, with Lee playing 27:49 and Danielle Herrington notching 42:11 of action. Lee recorded four saves, while Herrington tallied three.

In its time, this building was a great place to work. The April fools jokes that took place plus the newcomers orientation. Fond memories.
Once Sun left, it was allowed to go to rack and ruin and became an eyesore. As many of the happy memories I have from there, I am now definitely pleased to see it go. It should have happened long ago.

I've written to the local air resources board, trying to find out what was released into the air when the SUN building was demolished. Also, how are neighbors notified about air quality? I haven't been able to find out anything yet. As work goes forward, is there a notification responsibility?

Same could be said for the 2 piles of fine debris at the end of Loma Verde and Bayshore. On windy days, you can see this dust fly off into the blue yonder. How long is it going to remain there undisturbed?

When the Maryland Firearm Safety Act goes into effect tomorrow, it will close a gaping hole in our gun violence prevention efforts by requiring firearm purchasers to provide their fingerprints to law enforcement. In the five other states where this policy is already in place, rates of gun-related deaths are among the nation's lowest.
We need to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. Background checks have done this so effectively that few criminals nowadays just walk into a store to purchase a gun. Instead, they ask a friend, a relative or even a fellow gang member with no prior record to buy the weapon for them. Analysis of federal gun trafficking cases shows that this "straw purchase" method is a primary means through which criminals acquire guns.
Fortunately, we are still smarter than the criminals. Research by policy experts like Daniel Webster at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Center for Gun Policy and Research and the experiences of law enforcement show that a licensing process that requires fingerprinting will deter straw purchases. Even a criminal's closest associates will think twice about buying a gun that could be traced to a future crime if they must first give their fingerprints to the police.
More than 80 percent of Marylanders — including 68 percent of gun owners — support the fingerprinting of handgun purchasers. Research has shown what common sense would suggest: that states with rigorous handgun licensing requirements see fewer legally-sold guns being diverted to criminals. For example, after Missouri repealed its licensing law in 2007, gun diversions to criminals surged and gun homicides increased 25 percent.
The Firearm Safety Act of 2013 also gives the Maryland State Police better access to records already kept by federally licensed dealers, allowing them to identify major sources of illegal guns. Only 1 percent of licensed gun dealers supply nearly 60 percent of all guns used to commit crimes. Our police need to be able to find them and take action. It took federal agents more than nine years to shut down Valley Guns in Baltimore County, which failed to account for a quarter of its inventory — over 400 missing firearms — in one year. Nearly 500 of the guns it sold were traced to crimes. Under the new law, our state police will not have to sit around and wait for the feds to identify and shut down bad gun dealers.
Making it harder for criminals to buy guns in Maryland is not enough. In New York City, where purchasing a firearm requires fingerprinting, as many as 90 percent of the guns found at crime scenes are purchased in another state. One of the most common states of origin is Virginia.
In Maryland, we have sent a powerful message to criminals: You will not be able to buy your guns here. Now we need our friends around the country to follow suit. The lives of Marylanders depend on it.
Sen. Brian E. Frosh, a Democrat, represents District 16 in Montgomery County and is chairman of the Judicial Proceedings Committee. He is a candidate for Maryland attorney general. His email is firstname.lastname@example.com.

Of course with couple's negative patterns for communication we find ways to provide practicals for constructive and healthy communication techniques that hopefully will be practiced in order to help the couple to decrease high levels of conflicts and strengthen their commitment. But we also understand that it is important to address "weeds" in a marriage that have not been addressed and dealt with or have been exposed but the couple is unable to maturely identify the problem and a solution.
Hidden Issues
- Control and power- Who is in charge and do you feel controlled?
- Caring-Do you feel loved and cared for?
- Recognition-Do you feel valued for who you are and what you do?
- Integrity-Do you feel challenged or dismayed in how you see yourself?
- Commitment-Do you feel insecure about your marriage? Do you wonder if your partner will stay with you?
- Acceptance-Do you have a desire for acceptance and a fear of rejection? (This is the parent of all hidden issues).
- Divorce old patterns rather than one's partner.
- Step outside of the emotional logic of problem patterns.
- Create pleasure even when still in pain.
- Ask yourself,"what would you rather keep or increase?"
- Help couple move from a perception of head-to-head to side-to-side with their problems.
- Reframe: differences as strengths, a binocular vision.
- Reframe: crisis=danger+opportunity. Opportunity is always present in crisis.
- Reframe: growth comes from conflict! Ask yourself, "what psychological or emotional question might you be trying to answer by choosing your partner?

Different trees need different amounts of water. But here are some general watering guidelines for a freshly planted 15-gallon tree:
If you created a berm around your tree, fill the basin created by it with water and let it soak into the ground. Continue to fill the basin with water until it has received about 15 gallons of water.
Watering schedule (15 gallons at each watering for a 15-gallon tree):
- Month 1: twice a week
- Months 2–3: once a week
- Months 4–7: once every two weeks
- Months 8–12: once every three to four weeks
- Years 2–5: once every four to six weeks
However, always check the soil for moisture about four inches down before watering. If it's really wet, don't water, even though the schedule says to.
Water slowly. When water stops soaking in, the soil has become saturated and reached its water-holding capacity. You're done with that watering session!

Do Not Regret it in the Future
This person was the military official who had gone with Feng Yu Heng to save Xuan Tian Hua, Wang Zhuo.
Seeing that he finally recognized her, Feng Yu Heng smiled and slightly raised her hand: "Get up."
Standing up, Wang Zhuo looked at Feng Yu Heng and felt that she was different from before. He had heard that county princess Ji An had spent time at the military camp and that she had become the instructor for thirty thousand soldiers.
The ninth prince, Xuan Tian Ming's, Northwest army was already the most powerful army of the four grand armies. The thirty thousand soldiers that he brought back from the Northwest were even more elite. Everyone knew that one had to pass five tests in order to become a leader within the Northwest army, and it was likely that even Xuan Tian Ming was no exception.
Now that Feng Yu Heng had passed that test, what did it mean? It meant that county princess Ji An had outstanding skills. She definitely could not be treated as a normal young miss from a noble family. As a military officer, he admired Feng Yu Heng for having passed the five tests. Thus his gaze was filled with admiration and a trace of reverence.
Wang Zhuo suddenly kneeling startled Fu Sang and Tian Dong, especially when he shouted county princess Ji An. They immediately recalled the young girl who had been giving out hot tea at the entrance of Hundred Herb Hall during the Winter disaster. They looked at the handsome young man before them and felt that they looked more and more alike. They could not help but ask: "You are county princess Ji An?"
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "That's right. I am."
"You really are county princess Ji An?" Fu Sang and Tian Dong had practically begun shouting with joy, as Tian Dong turned back and said to the children: "She is county princess Ji An! She is not a young gentleman! It's the county princess that gave us hot tea for many days during the Winter disaster!"
Hearing this, the children began to cheer. Shui Ling squeezed over to Feng Yu Heng's side and held her hand, saying: "Sister Fu Sang said that county princess is our benefactor. During the Winter disaster, I was sick. Hundred Herb Hall said that we were too far, so they specially prepared some tea that could be prepared back in the courtyard for us to drink. If it were not for your tea, Shui Ling would have frozen to death."
Feng Yu Heng could not remember such trivial details, or perhaps she did not know about it at all. Most of it was handled by Wang Lin, but she never thought that she would run into these children under such favorable circumstances.
"Silly girl." She patted Shui Ling's head then said to Fu Sang and Tian Dong: "This residence has had nobody living in it the entire time. I would usually send people here from time to time to clean up a little, but now that you are living here, that job will be handled by you."
Tian Dong happily said, "County princess, do not worry. We will definitely take good care of the residence."
"Un." She nodded, "Bring the children to get their things first. I will talk a little more with Wang Zhuo."
"Ok!" The two complied then gave thanks before leading the children away.
Wang Zhuo saw that Feng Yu Heng had something to say to him, so he could not help but become a little nervous; however, he was also a little happy. He did not know what Feng Yu Heng had to say, but intuition told him that it definitely would not be anything bad.
The two walked over to a pavilion inside the yard before Feng Yu Heng asked him: "You said that your leader used his power to help the governor with his work, so I will ask you. If it were you, when faced with a friend's request and these children, which would you choose?"
Wang Zhuo did not even think before he said: "Of course I would need to think about the lives of the children! Even if their fates could not be changed, I would not push them around."
"Good!" She stood in place and turned to face Wang Zhuo, "Then just wait to take over that position."
"What?" Wang Zhuo's eyes widened, his face showing that he did not dare believe it. He could not help but remind Feng Yu Heng, "That is the local commander of the capital!"
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "So what if it's the command? Since he is not doing a good job as an official, there is no need for him to continue being one. This will take at most three days. Go back and wait for it. You will naturally be given an explanation in three days."
"This lowly one thanks county princess for the grace of this promotion!" Wang Zhuo kneeled once more and expressed his wholehearted gratitude to Feng Yu Heng. He was merely a captain of the guards watching the gates. The local commander was someone who had met the Emperor and was an official able to attend court sessions. If he relied entirely on hard work, perhaps he would not be able to attain that position in a single lifetime, but now this opportunity presented itself, so how could he not be shocked!
"You can return." Feng Yu Heng quietly said: "I am giving you this chance because you helped me find his Highness the seventh prince on that day. Secondly, it is to make sure your benevolence is not wasted. From this day onward, I hope that you can continue to benevolent. Do not allow your position as an official to chase away your benevolence. That would be too much of a disappointment."
"I hope that county princess can be at ease. This lowly one definitely will not waste county princess' teachings."
Wang Zhuo returned to the capital feeling emotional and excited. Meanwhile, the residence had already been completely tidied up. The children were very happy to have a new place to live. Following Fu Sang and Tian Dong's lead, they kowtowed to Feng Yu Heng.
Feng Yu Heng accepted their courtesy then said: "I did not bring you here to live leisurely, but there is also no need to do any rough work like washing clothes. I will bring a teacher here tomorrow to teach you how to read. I will also bring a doctor from Hundred Herb Hall to teach you the basics of medicine. Those of you who do the best in learning to read or with medicine will be brought to the county princess' manor, where I will personally handle teaching you. Is that good?"
"Yes!" The children all responded in unison, each of them showing a happy expression.
Fu Sang said: "None of these children have ever learned to read, but they are very smart. They definitely will not disappoint county princess."
She nodded and thought that this was very good. What she wanted were children who had not learned anything. Being able to teach them from the start would mean that she could mold them as she desired.
Feng Yu Heng dismissed the children and handed a 50 tael bank note to Fu Sang, "After I return to the capital, I will have someone bring food over. I will also have a carriage remain here. This banknote will be kept with you for emergency use. If there is any sort of emergency, come to find me at the county princess' manor. I will tell the servants about you, so you will be able to come straight in."
Fu Sang and Tian Dong were both so moved that they did not know what to say. They could only repeatedly give their thanks.
Feng Yu Heng did not remain any longer. On the way back, she advised Huang Quan: "Take care of the things I promised them when we get back to the manor. We must keep a close eye on this side. Once someone with some talent appears, they must be brought back to the manor immediately. Also, send someone to the government to register them. I will write a letter to seventh brother at a later time, and I will need you to send it to him."
The two pondered over the happenings of the day, as they rushed back towards Tong Sheng pavilion. When they were passing by the Feng manor's entrance, the carriage slowed down, and the driver asked her: "Young miss, will we be going back to our own side or will we stop at the Feng manor?"
Feng Yu Heng originally wanted to return to Tong Sheng pavilion, but when she lifted the curtain and looked into the Feng manor, her mind was changed "Stop! I will be going to the Feng manor."
She lifted the curtain and exited the carriage. At the entrance of the Feng manor, she saw some servants throwing all sorts of things out. Of the things, there were fabrics, accessories, and there was also a variety of toys.
Alongside the things that had been thrown out, there was an unfamiliar maidservant. The maidservant's face was blue with anger, as she pointed at the servants of the Feng manor and angrily shouted: "You had best know what's good for you!"
The servants of the Feng manor did not dare show any weakness, responding: "We are simply acting out our orders. If miss has any anger, go vent it to fourth young miss. There is no point in getting angry with us."
The maidservant stood outside the manor. Putting her hands on her hips, she pointed at them and loudly said: "Then just pass the message along to your fourth young miss to not be too arrogant. The thing Prince Li lacks the least is women, and there are plenty of secondary princesses. She really should not treat it as anything serious. Right now, Prince Li is interested in her, but who knows when that will disappear. You actually dare throw out the things gifted by his Highness? If these things are thrown out right now, there won't be any more in the future. She had best not regret it!"
After saying this, she waved to a driver outside the manor. The driver quickly went over and brought the things into the carriage. The maidservant climbed into the carriage and quickly departed.
Huang Quan clicked her tongue, "When did the fourth young miss become so daring?"
Feng Yu Heng shrugged, "Who knows! Prince Li most likely did something that was not to her liking, so she is throwing a tantrum." She suddenly recalled the matter of preparing food cooked with medicine for Feng Jin Yuan's return to the manor. At that time, Fen Dai had picked up the task that had been pushed to her, saying that she would have the fifth prince invite Mo Bu Fan and the imperial chefs. "Thinking about it, there is probably a problem with Feng Jin Yuan's welcoming banquet."
Putting on a smile, she turned around and led Huang Quan towards the entrance of the county princess' manor.
The Feng family's servants looked at each other in dismay, as they thought that having land of their own is best. Being able to leave after taking a step inside was something only the second young miss dared to do.
At the same time, in Yu Lan courtyard's garden, Feng Fen Dai was putting on her shoes while seated on the snow-covered ground. Her small face was blue and purple from the cold. While putting on her shoes, she loudly whined: "Great aunty, I'm done with learning! I don't want to continue learning! For the sake of being favored, I learned this tiring type of dance, but what about him? He does not even help me invite some imperial chefs. Why should I bother wasting my time earning his favor?"
Standing before her was the one who wore thin clothes despite the cold, Hong Yun. Compared to Fen Dai's face that had turned blue from the cold, Hong Yun's face appeared completely accustomed to the snow. At this time, her feet were bare and standing in snow, but she did not appear to be the slightest bit cold.
"A calm heart is most important to this type of dance. Do not be too irritable. Even if you encounter a large problem, your heart must remain like ice, stable and calm."
"I can't remain calm!" How could Fen Dai learn even a fraction of Hong Yun's graceful bearing, as she loudly shouted: "I'm done with learning. Leave the manor! I will double the amount of money, so never come back again!"
"Is fourth young miss serious?"
"Of course I am serious!"
"Then that's fine." Hong Yun nodded, "I am not originally from the capital. Once I have left, I will never return. If fourth young miss comes to regret it, you will never be able to find Hong Yun. In this world, I am the only one who knows how to dance this dance. Fourth young miss, do not regret it."
Saying this, she began to leave the courtyard without a hint of hesitation. Fen Dai never thought that this person actually would not even say a few words to advise her nor beg to remain. For a while, she was frozen in place. Forgetting about putting on her shoes, she only thought about what Hong Yun had said.
If she let her go, she would truly never be able to learn this type of dance, then his Highness the fifth prince…
"Wait a moment!" She changed her mind, "I still want to learn this dance, but my mind was not tranquil today. I will rest for one day."
Hearing this, Hong Yun laughed. Turning her head back, she asked: "When has fourth young miss' mind ever been tranquil?"
"You…" Hong Yun really was more and more impudent, "In the end, I am still the Feng family's fourth young miss, and you are just a dancer. How dare you speak to me like this?"
Hong Yun was not frightened by her in the slightest. Instead, her face was expressionless like ice, but she still slowly walked back and asked Fen Dai: "Does fourth young miss think me walking around barefoot in the snow and wearing thin clothes is beautiful or not?"
Fen Dai was startled. She did not know why she would ask this question, but she still nodded: "Beautiful."
"Then think about it. Even if the one you marry is not his Highness the fifth prince, so long as you have learned this ability, what man could reject you?"
Hong Yun's words caused Fen Dai's eyes to light up, as her hope soared once again.
At this time, Hong Yun brought something out of her sleeve pocket and handed it to her "I will give you this."

PEACE NOW!: A vegan rap poem
We talk about peace, / how to find it at last
In a world of equality / comin' to pass
But we are the rulers, / we are the kings
Death-squad marauders / to billions of beings
They suffer and feel / like you and like me
But they're hidden away, / we pretend we don't see
Jammed in their cages, / restricted in crates
Never knowin' why / until it's too late
It's happenin' now, / they're writhing in pain
But their screams we don't hear, / don't feel any shame
Just smile as we shop / for their eggs and their milk
And talk about peace / as we dine with our ilk
"Justice," we cry, / "The war's gotta stop!"
But we kill every day / from up here on top
Our life is a joke, / our soul is all bare
Our politics are bankrupt / because we don't care
We think we're so radical, / we think we're so chic
But our bleeding hearts / they absolutely reek
Of two-faced hypocrisy / of word and of deed
Ignorin' the sufferin' / we bring as we eat
And all of our words / they sound oh so nice
As long as we don't look / at the horrible price
We make all the animals / pay in this war
Of human supremacy / we wage from afar
Stop wringin' your hands! / No crocodile tears!
Why, animal abuse / has been happenin' for years!
But we don't care / an' we don't mind
We just wanna talk / about our OWN kind
Human supremacy: / disease of the left
The right, and the center, / totally bereft
Can't stomach no prissy / concern for oppressed
No talk about peace-- / well surely you jest!
We talk of equality / a terrible bore
Snuffin' out lives / when we go to the store
The things that we do / talk louder than words
And now you can see / we're really absurd
We LIKE to have servants / and animal slaves
And we could care less / how they go to their graves
But a movement's afoot / and before it's too late
Wake up, my friend, / or be left in the wake!
Well, intimacy's / the word of the day
We cuddle and hug / and that's o.k.
But what about the animals / on our plate?
In our lovin' minds / how do THEY rate?
They like to touch, / play, be free
And make sweet love / like you and me
They don't wanna die / or be encaged
And you ask me why / I feel enraged!
If THEY did to us / like WE do to them
We'd understand well / what now is dim
But we've got the power, / we've got the guns
And we've got the words / that let us run
>From reality / of what we do
Of who we hurt, / of who we chew
But underneath / the pretense and games
You know it well, / we're causin' pain
You're vegetarian / or so you say
But what's that food there / on your tray:
Breasts and legs, / dismembered parts
Of animals killed / for you, dear heart
Y'know chickens and fish / try to get away
>From the hook an' knife / that we pay
For bloody work / that WE won't do
So cop to the violence / that's done for you!
And it's not for need / we know it well
It's just a habit / we refuse to quell
We're bound to reap / the pain we sow
In eco-death / or atomic glow
What goes out / comes back around
And we're not gainin' / any ground
It's just OUR kind / that we respect
With bloody heel / on OTHERS' necks
I know it's easy, / it's so quick
It's so convenient / just to pick
It off the shelf, / out of the can
And cook it up / in the fryin' pan
And it's not easy, / never been yet
To change old habits / firmly set
Oppression past / has left its mark
On us today / as we embark
On the path / of healing peace
Of letting go, / of violence ceased
Come now and join / the growin' wave
Of gentle dining, / lovin' brave
Of no more sayin' / we're number one
Of takin' our place / under the sun
Of equality / and respect for life
As we lay down / the butcher knife
And learn to live / and learn to love
And not to kill / the peaceful dove It's possible now / you know it can be
It all depends / on you and me

OTTAWA - The ongoing controversy over KAIROS funding is creating confusion and concern in the development community says Michael Casey, executive director of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP).
"It would be good if some clear guidelines emerged out of this," said Casey.
As Parliament returned from a winter break Feb. 28, Opposition parties continued to hammer the government and CIDA Minister Bev Oda over conflicting testimony to a House of Commons committee.
The front page headlines generated by the controversy are hurting the development community by fueling rumours and speculation "because you're wondering, what is going to be the political outcome of this," Casey said.
A recent backgrounder sent to Conservative MPs throws a new wrinkle into the controversy. The backgrounder lists "advocacy" as a reason KAIROS did not receive the money requested earlier.
"KAIROS made a request for funding from CIDA in the amount of $7 million," the backgrounder, distributed internally to Tory MPs Feb. 19 said. "Minister Oda determined that this request was inconsistent with our government's foreign aid priorities."
Casey said, "We have a tradition going back since the creation of the agency (CIDA) in 1967 of support to the civil society sector for having informed commentary on Canada's aid policies."
Because of their involvement with "partners" in developing nations, NGOs can bring a valuable perspective to the discussion, he said.
"This has always been encouraged in an open spirit of dialogue between government and civil society over the last 40 odd years," he said.
Casey said it is hard for anyone to know what is at the bottom of the government decision not to fund KAIROS. Different reasons have been given, the principal one being that their proposal did not align with the agency's new priorities.
CCODP is coming to the end of its most recent five-year funding arrangement with CIDA and applying for another, putting it in a similar position. About 40 per cent of CCODP's funding comes from CIDA, with the rest raised through donations from Catholics.
If advocacy is no longer going to be funded, many groups may find their missions affected, not only KAIROS and CCODP.
Some of CCODP`s work involves cooperation with partners who advocate for human rights, the environment and better economic conditions.

I'd like to say that NaBloPoMovember 2012 served as a watershed moment in my development as a man, father, writer, and pickle enthusiast. At the least, it was eventful--more so than I anticipated, anyway. November re-elected a president, washed away countless lives and livelihoods, and celebrated two people who somehow managed to spend 2/3 of their lives together. I caught the Bourbonic plague, met the diarist of a wimpy kid, and got a heaping helping of perspective along with my Thanksgiving meal.
Mostly, though, I wanted to get writing again. Dad 2.013 is only two months away, and it could have been really easy to melt into the work that ultimately resulted in our first of three speaker announcements. The truth is, though, for all the phone calls and interviews and other opportunities to champion dad-based content, I'd have felt like a hypocrite if I'd stopped making any of my own. November helped me get the oil back in the engine and strike a work/write balance that I hope to sustain as long as I can.
About the only real growth was this comical T-shaped hair-thing on the front of my face, which--even though it clearly brought all the girls to the yard--will either be 1) be washed down the sink or 2) overwhelmed by a DecemBeard. If you'd like to salute its memory and donate even a small, token amount to the team, thank you. My mustache would definitely have wanted it that way.

Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords will receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award at the presidential library in Dorchester tonight.
Giffords is receiving the honor for her "political, personal, and physical courage she has demonstrated in her fearless public advocacy for policy reforms aimed at reducing gun violence," the JFK Library said in a statement.
"Gabby Giffords has inspired the world with her bravery and her dedication to making change through the political process," said Caroline Kennedy, President of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. "Instead of retreating following the tragic shooting that ended her Congressional career, she has recommitted herself to fighting for a more peaceful society free from hate and violence. She is a true Profile in Courage."
Giffords was shot in the head in 2011 during an event at a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz. Six people were killed. Giffords resigned from Congress to focus on her recovery.
Since then, she and her husband founded the organizationAmericans for Responsible Solutions, which encourages elected officials to support measures to prevent gun violence and promotes responsible gun ownership.
The Profile in Courage Award has been presented annually since 1989. It is named for JFK's 1957 book "Profiles in Courage."

I have been learning the acoustic guitar for about 3 years, but just recently started writing my own songs. I am currently learning music theory.
Given that starting point what advice would you give to a novice composer? Books to read? Anything to avoid?
Just to clarify I am not asking how to be a great or the greatest composer, but rather any advice that would be helpful to new composers.

I have replaced the pump assembly and the check valve, and the dishwasher still does not drain. Anyone had this trouble?I was wondering if the solonoid switch may not be engaging. I check for voltage and have it to the solonoid. There is what looks to be a vacuum line from the switch to the tub. Not sure what would activate it. Looks like it plugs into a solid recepticle. Any help? RWFToday I observed the motor running forward and reverse. The dishwasher was draining quite slowly. I'm wondering if the two white balls might be obstructing the water flow. How are the balls supposed to be placed? RWFDU943PWK00
The white balls just sit in there, if this is the unit I think it is, I have had a lot of problems with the skinny white drain port that threads into the pump above the motor getting clogged, and of course take the drain hose and blow threw it towards the drain to make sure it's not obstructed, hope this helps.

Jon Gosselin Reportedly Pulls a Gun on a Photographer
The former reality star allegedly fired a warning shot at a paparazzo who followed him home
Former reality TV star turned waiter Jon Gosselin reportedly pulled a gun on a photographer in Pennsylvania on Friday.
According to TMZ, the erstwhile Jon & Kate Plus 8 star got upset when a shutterbug followed him home from his new job waiting tables at the Black Dog restaurant in Beckersville, Pa.
She allegedly trailed him off the main roads and onto a dirt road as he headed to his isolated country cabin (where he has no Internet or TV), and when she whipped out her camera and started taking pics, Gosselin, 36, angrily approached her and allegedly pulled a gun out of the back of his pants.
The photographer claims the father of eight yelled at her for trespassing and then fired off a warning shot. He then followed her until she got back on the main road, she says.
Gosselin, meanwhile, acknowledges the incident but insists that he acted well within his rights.
"I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun, which I withdrew and used to fire a warning shot away from the paparazza," he tells TMZ.
Gosselin's lawyer declined to comment.
The ex-reality star, who split from wife Kate in a contentious 2009 divorce, admitted to Entertainment Tonight Wednesday that he's hit rock bottom "like 20 times" since his divorce, but doesn't regret the way his life has turned out.
"You learn from your mistakes," he said. "That's what builds you to who you are today."

Drinking Downton Abbey: The Drinks in Britain's Most Popular Drama
The stories and history surrounding what we sip.
You could probably design a pretty good drinking game around Downton Abbey. Just take a drink every time Lady Grantham says, "Poor Edith," Bates falls on his sword, or Thomas reminds you of a vampire.
But what do you drink while watching? During the first two seasons, the answer was clearly Scotch. Lord Grantham always seemed to be pouring one from a giant decanter into a heavy crystal tumbler, its weight an anchor keeping his inflated sense of purpose from carrying him away. We see other drinks in the first two seasons, of course—after-dinner digestifs and Carson pouring wine through cheesecloth, but Scotch is a perfect fit for the show; its old age serving as a symbol of Downton's tradition and history. Other drinks are always put aside for Scotch whenever a serious decision needs to be made in that one room that's full of old books and expensive rugs.
And then season three comes along and changes everything...with cocktails. When the season opens, WWI has ended and Europe lies in tatters. The sun is rising over America's emerging power and setting on the British Empire. Downton's legacy and thereby the Old Order are threatened with financial troubles.
Amidst this backdrop, Lady Grantham's American mother, Martha Levinson (played by Shirley Maclaine), comes for a visit. At a party celebrating her arrival, Lord Grantham for once isn't holding scotch in his hand when he asks the Dowager Countess, "Can I tempt you to one of these new cocktails?"
"I don't think so," she replies. "They look too exciting for so early in the evening."
Grantham's drink looks very much like a martini, the quintessential American cocktail and a perfect way to introduce Levinson and this season's coming changes. America is the land of reinvention, and the cocktail has always been a way to reinvent old spirits; or, in the case of bootlegged hooch during Prohibition, mask their awful flavor. The martini's place in America was put best by the classicist Lowell Edmunds when wrote that it is "a permanent fixture of American life, of the American imagination, of America's image in the rest of the world."
Sometimes that image is brassy and doesn't care about custom. As America erupts into its own cocktail-fueled Jazz Age, Levinson brings to Downton a potion of change. The old Countess, having refused her martini, tells Levinson, "You Americans never understand the importance of tradition."
Levinson replies, "Yes, we do, we just don't give it power over us. History and tradition took Europe into a world war. Maybe you should think about letting go of its hand."
The Countess responds with her typical harrumph, but as the world changes around them, the rest of Downton gulps down the biggest martinis you've ever seen.

26. GEORGE CARLIN: On technology (EXPLICIT)
George Carlin week: PART 1, PART 2, PART 3
And you thought George Carlin week was over! Well, it was originally meant to be only three quotes but something happened – I got scared. I had second thoughts about publishing the Religious Hats comic that appeared last Monday and had in fact decided not to post it. I frantically did this piece last weekend so I had a replacement comic. I didn't want to upset any of my religious readers and a few people told me not to post it or at least wait until the blog was more established. But then after thinking about it more I realised I HAD to post it because a) this website is meant to be an expression of MY personality, b) I always try to make everybody happy, which is stupid and c) I couldn't rightly honour the spirit of George Carlin by being too chickenshit to express an opinion. So I went ahead and posted it and it was fine. There were no complaints. One reader didn't like the profanity but didn't have a problem with the subject matter. All that worry over nothing! Sheesh, what an idiot. On the bright side, you get an extra Carlin comic!
– I totally have to practice what I preach because I am an absolute slave to my iPhone. I get antsy, start to hyperventilate and twitch involuntarily if I don't check my email/facebook/twitter every fifteen minutes. AND i'm planning on getting the new iPad. Damn you Apple!
– The above quote is taken from Carlin's HBO special It's Bad For Ya. He specifically refers to America ("Nobody questions things in this country anymore" and "Americans have been bought off …"), but i think it can apply to most of the world.
– You can buy all of Carlin's albums and DVDs at the official George Carlin online store.

I thought this an aptly timed Christmas story.
Yesterday, a group of friends and I went on an "interactive" walk through Bethlehem that is put together annually by a rather large Baptist church with plenty of spare land, in Macon, GA. Keep in mind this was a church function. Just outside the gates of Bethlehem, we met up with our "guide". She claimed our group as members of her "direct descendants of David" family to some men who where dressed in short, gray, "go-go" looking dresses collecting our census cards. They asked our guide if she had any slaves to declare in the group, naturally she said no. I was standing there with my thumbs hooked into my back jean pockets waiting to be let through the gates, minding my own business and taking in the scenery. In my hand was a coin our guide gave us for paying the taxes. I believe the coin was supposed to be a 10 denarius coin piece (it was actually a genuine coin from modern day Israel). While standing there, I was thinking to myself that maybe I could get away with not paying the taxes and keep the pretty little coin for myself. Suddenly there was a small commotion from the group behind me when two rather ominous ( and very authentic) looking centurions read my mind, shoved their way through the crowd, grabbed me from behind by both elbows and shouted to our guide, "Is this woman not a slave?" Well, naturally that set off a chain of events to this day I will never forget. While grabbing me from behind, with my thumbs still hooked into my back pockets, (instinctively causing me to grip my back pockets even tighter) the guards jerked UP on my elbows and inadvertently gave me a wedgie, causing me to let off a small yelp of surprise which caused my husband to instinctively grab me away from the fierce guards ergo sending our group asunder. Meanwhile, a five year old member of our group started screaming, "they're going to kill her" and crying hysterically whilst trying to break away from the melee. Her mother gives the centurions a soul shattering glare while running after the little lass and calling for her to come back. Once the..cough,cough.."snafu" was under control, and I regained my composure, I realized I dropped the damn coin after all.
The moral to the story? When in Bethlehem, do as the Romans say.
