Keyes' Note: An Ode to DeathNo clues to unsolved cases foundANCHORAGE - It's not a suicide note. It's a murder note. The handwritten message left behind by deceased serial killer Israel Keyes was released by the FBI Wednesday morning. The note apparently does not refer to specific murders, but it is full of references to Keyes' predatory mindset. The suspected killer of up to a dozen people, including three known victims, did nothing to soften his image for posterity before he killed himself in an Anchorage jail cell on December 2. The blood-soaked note was found with Keyes' body, after he slit his wrists with a razor and strangled himself with the bedding in his cell. It was first sent to FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia, to be cleaned and made legible, and then a second time for analysis of the content. "The notes were analyzed by our cryptoanalysis unit," said Eric Gonzalez, the FBI spokesman in Anchorage. "Those guys are the code breakers. And they were looking for any kind of hidden codes, messages in the writings themselves. They may have some kind of investigative value. After looking at it, it was determined there was nothing in there that could lead to potential, other possible victims." The note, written on a legal pad with both pencil and ink, is actually a poem. In it, Keyes takes aim at Americans and what he sees as American values, and also expresses his atheism: "Family and friends will shed a few tears, pretend it's off to heaven you go. But the reality is you were just bones and meat, and with your brain died also your soul. "...Consume what you don't need, stars you idolize, pursue what you admit is a dream, then its [sic] american [sic] die." And he shines a light on his dark impulses: "Okay, talk is over, words are flacid [sic] and weak. back it with action or it all comes off, cheap. watch close while i work now, feel the electric shock of my touch, open my trembling flower, or your petals I'll crush" Gonzalez said he's not going to attempt an interpretation. "We're not offering any commentary as to possible -- what some of those phrases -- some possible meanings to some of the writings." And that appears to conclude the Anchorage FBI office's involvement with the Keyes case. However, outreach is going on in the rest of the country, with a press release in the Dallas area, because of Keyes' known connections to Texas. Now while the note apparently does not have any relevance to outstanding missing persons or homicide cases, it might still be valuable to the behavioral sciences unit of the FBI, as profilers continue work on understanding the minds of serial killers. Meanwhile, how Keyes was able to kill himself -- after earlier having been placed on suicide watch -- remains something of a mystery. State Representative Max Gruenberg of Anchorage is trying to arrange a briefing on the subject with the Department of Corrections, but both sides told KTVA Wednesday that it has not been scheduled yet. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Saturday, Feb 9 at 12:04 AM Hard to feel sorry for a sinner burning in Hell, eh? But he deserves it without a singular doubt. As for the suicide, many inmates who get placed on suicide watch get taken off once mental health staff inside the facility saw fit that he was not suicidal. When he died, he was NOT on suicide watch whatsoever. If that was so, he would be place in a mental health ward wearing a rug gown for an outfit then regular clothing and be under constant supervision. Why doesn't Mr. Gruenberg just asked Joe Schmidt. He used to be the Superintendent of Anchorage Complex and Brian Brandenberg who is one of his underlings, used to run the mental health ward at ACC!! I think Mr. Gurenberg is trying to make political hay. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Feb 6 at 5:50 PM It is very sad, sad for all the victims, the deceased and the living. It is a tragedy for Israel's family and even for Israel Keyes. Evil walked with Israel at every turn. He was a weapon of evil and controlled by evil. Israel was at one time a very little baby, just like all the victims were. He didn't know Jesus Christ. Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a comment |

Psych-Quotes: The Nine Types of Intelligence
1. Naturalist Intelligence ("Nature Smart")
Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like.
2. Musical Intelligence ("Musical Smart")
Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.
3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart)
Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.

Sokushinbutsu (即身仏) were Buddhist monks or priests who caused their own deaths in a way that resulted in their mummification. This practice reportedly took place almost exclusively in northern Japan around Yamagata Prefecture. It is believed that many hundreds of monks tried, but only 24 such mummifications have been discovered to date.
Their diet was nuts and seeds for 1000 days, after that they only ate bark and roots while getting rid of body fat, After the 1000 days they drank a poisionous tea made from the sap of Urushi tree.
Finally, a self-mummifying monk would lock himself in a stone tomb barely larger than his body, where he would not move from the lotus position. His only connection to the outside world was an air tube and a bell. Each day he rang a bell to let those outside know that he was still alive.When the bell stopped ringing, the tube was removed and the tomb sealed. After the tomb was sealed, the other monks in the temple would wait another 1,000 days, and open the tomb to see if the mummification was successful.
If the monk was mummified he was instantly seen as Buddha and put on display. If the mummification wasnt successful then the monk wasn't seen as one, yet still admired for his trying.

Theoretical physics
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2008) |
Theoretical physics is a branch of physics which employs mathematical models and abstractions of physical objects and systems to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena. This is in contrast to experimental physics, which uses experimental tools to probe these phenomena.
The advancement of science depends in general on the interplay between experimental studies and theory. In some cases, theoretical physics adheres to standards of mathematical rigor while giving little weight to experiments and observations. For example, while developing special relativity, Albert Einstein was concerned with the Lorentz transformation which left Maxwell's equations invariant, but was apparently uninterested in the Michelson–Morley experiment on Earth's drift through a luminiferous ether. On the other hand, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for explaining the photoelectric effect, previously an experimental result lacking a theoretical formulation.

A physical theory is a model of physical events. It is judged by the extent to which its predictions agree with empirical observations. The quality of a physical theory is also judged on its ability to make new predictions which can be verified by new observations. A physical theory differs from a mathematical theorem in that while both are based on some form of axioms, judgment of mathematical applicability is not based on agreement with any experimental results.

The equations for an Einstein manifold, used in general relativity to describe the curvature of spacetime |
" |
A physical theory involves one or more relationships between various measurable quantities. Archimedes realized that a ship floats by displacing its mass of water, Pythagoras understood the relation between the length of a vibrating string and the musical tone it produces, and how to calculate the length of a rectangle's diagonal. Other examples include entropy as a measure of the uncertainty regarding the positions and motions of unseen particles and the quantum mechanical idea that (action and) energy are not continuously variable.
Sometimes the vision provided by pure mathematical systems can provide clues to how a physical system might be modeled; e.g., the notion, due to Riemann and others, that space itself might be curved.
Theoretical advances may consist in setting aside old, incorrect paradigms (e.g., Burning consists of evolving phlogiston, or Astronomical bodies revolve around the Earth) or may be an alternative model that provides answers that are more accurate or that can be more widely applied.
Physical theories become accepted if they are able to make correct predictions and no (or few) incorrect ones. The theory should have, at least as a secondary objective, a certain economy and elegance (compare to mathematical beauty), a notion sometimes called "Occam's razor" after the 13th-century English philosopher William of Occam (or Ockham), in which the simpler of two theories that describe the same matter just as adequately is preferred. (But conceptual simplicity may mean mathematical complexity.) They are also more likely to be accepted if they connect a wide range of phenomena. Testing the consequences of a theory is part of the scientific method.
Physical theories can be grouped into three categories: mainstream theories, proposed theories and fringe theories.
Theoretical physics began at least 2,300 years ago, under the Pre-socratic philosophy, and continued by Plato and Aristotle, whose views held sway for a millennium. During the rise of medieval universities, the only acknowledged intellectual disciplines were the seven liberal arts of the Trivium like grammar, logic, and rhetoric and of the Quadrivium like arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. As the concepts of matter, energy, space, time and causality slowly began to acquire the form we know today, other sciences spun off from the rubric of natural philosophy. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the concept of experimental science, the counterpoint to theory, began with scholars such as Ibn al-Haytham and Francis Bacon. The modern era of theory began perhaps with the Copernican paradigm shift in astronomy, soon followed by Johannes Kepler's expressions for planetary orbits, which summarized the meticulous observations of Tycho Brahe.
The great push toward the modern concept of explanation started with Galileo, one of the few physicists who was both a consummate theoretician and a great experimentalist. The analytic geometry and mechanics of Descartes were incorporated into the calculus and mechanics of Isaac Newton, another theoretician/experimentalist of the highest order, writing Principia Mathematica.[1] Joseph-Louis Lagrange, Leonhard Euler and William Rowan Hamilton would extend the theory of classical mechanics considerably. Each of these individuals picked up the interactive intertwining of mathematics and physics begun two millennia earlier by Pythagoras.
Among the great conceptual achievements of the 19th and 20th centuries were the consolidation of the idea of energy by the inclusion of heat, then electricity and magnetism and light, and finally mass. The laws of thermodynamics, and most importantly the introduction of the singular concept of entropy began to provide a macroscopic explanation for the properties of matter.
The pillars of modern physics, and perhaps the most revolutionary theories in the history of physics, have been relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Newtonian mechanics was subsumed under special relativity and Newton's gravity was given a kinematic explanation by general relativity. Quantum mechanics led to an understanding of blackbody radiation and of anomalies in the specific heats of solids — and finally to an understanding of the internal structures of atoms and molecules.
All of these achievements depended on the theoretical physics as a moving force both to suggest experiments and to consolidate results — often by ingenious application of existing mathematics, or, as in the case of Descartes and Newton (with Leibniz), by inventing new mathematics. Fourier's studies of heat conduction led to a new branch of mathematics: infinite, orthogonal series.
Modern theoretical physics attempts to unify theories and explain phenomena in further attempts to understand the Universe, from the cosmological to the elementary particle scale. Where experimentation cannot be done, theoretical physics still tries to advance through the use of mathematical models.
Mainstream theories
Mainstream theories (sometimes referred to as central theories) are the body of knowledge of both factual and scientific views and possess a usual scientific quality of the tests of repeatability, consistency with existing well-established science and experimentation. There do exist mainstream theories that are generally accepted theories based solely upon their effects explaining a wide variety of data, although the detection, explanation, and possible composition are subjects of debate.

Proposed theories
The proposed theories of physics are usually relatively new theories which deal with the study of physics which include scientific approaches, means for determining the validity of models and new types of reasoning used to arrive at the theory. However, some proposed theories include theories that have been around for decades and have eluded methods of discovery and testing. Proposed theories can include fringe theories in the process of becoming established (and, sometimes, gaining wider acceptance). Proposed theories usually have not been tested.
Fringe theories
Fringe theories include any new area of scientific endeavor in the process of becoming established and some proposed theories. It can include speculative sciences. This includes physics fields and physical theories presented in accordance with known evidence, and a body of associated predictions have been made according to that theory.
Some fringe theories go on to become a widely accepted part of physics. Other fringe theories end up being disproven. Some fringe theories are a form of protoscience and others are a form of pseudoscience. The falsification of the original theory sometimes leads to reformulation of the theory.
Thought experiments vs real experiments
"Thought" experiments are situations created in one's mind, asking a question akin to "suppose you are in this situation, assuming such is true, what would follow?". They are usually created to investigate phenomena that are not readily experienced in every-day situations. Famous examples of such thought experiments are Schrödinger's cat, the EPR thought experiment, simple illustrations of time dilation, and so on. These usually lead to real experiments designed to verify that the conclusion (and therefore the assumptions) of the thought experiments are correct. The EPR thought experiment led to the Bell inequalities, which were then tested to various degrees of rigor, leading to the acceptance of the current formulation of quantum mechanics and probabilism as a working hypothesis.

I grew up in a strict Southern Baptist church in rural Patrick County, Va.
Everyone would sit rigidly in their pews at Fairystone Baptist for the Sunday morning worship services and listen to the preacher deliver his sermon in the blandest Baptist fashion. The only music we had was from a choir with piano and organ accompaniment by a deputy sheriff and his wife.
(I didn't realize until many years later that it was perfectly OK to make a joyful noise unto the Lord and revel in the lively music I then saw presented in His house — including those vile instruments of the devil, the drums and electric bass guitar.)
The deacons, including my grandpa, would occupy strategic positions around the church parameters as if anticipating some dastardly attack by the Methodists just down the road. They stood there stoically, moving only to pass out the collection plates — again with military precision.
This scenario that played out for years at my little country church might be fine for some, but it's not my idea of old-time religion. Except for the occasional Easter play or Christmas program, there was little or no color or pageantry at Fairystone Baptist, which I personally believe is what the church should be about to some extent.
But when you're talking about color and pageantry, you just can't beat those Catholics. In fact, at times I have been kind of envious of those who practice this faith. I remember that some of my cousins were part of a Catholic family, and for one thing they were blessed with lots of brothers and sisters to play with — while I had just two.
Another interesting trait concerns the colorful titles those in the Catholic hierarchy have, such as cardinal and bishop, and their wearing of fancy robes and regalia.
And they also lay claim to the pope.
I can think of no other religious denomination that has a figure who even begins to rival the pope in terms of stature and influence. I mean, here is a guy recognized as the worldwide leader of everyone of his faith, from the far reaches of Europe to South America and even South Georgia.
The pope enjoys a kind of rock-star status that is unique in the world and people mob him everywhere he goes.
We were reminded of that once again this week with the election of a new pope. The events surrounding it dominated the news for a couple of days and were a frequent topic of conversation, even among people here in Mount Airy who are mostly Methodists, Presbyterians, Mormons, Moravians and yes, Baptists.
Except for the election of the U.S. president every four years, nothing seems to provoke more excitement than the selection of a pope. Most anyone could tell you the name of the pope at any given time, but who knows the present leader of the Southern Baptist Convention?
And in true Catholic splendor, choosing a pope can't just be done with a simple meeting of the board of deacons or some similar procedure that other religious groups might engage in to pick a new spiritual icon.
The Catholics conduct what they call the papal conclave, in which the College of Cardinals convenes in St. Peter's Square to pick the pope. That sounds pretty awesome in itself.
And again, while the cardinals take votes just as other officials are elected, the Catholics manage to inject a sense of flamboyance into the occasion via a literal smoke-filled room.
People wait outside the building to catch any hint of how the deliberations are going, and are kept informed via smoke signals. While these might have meant danger in the Old West, smoke is welcome in the Catholic community, particularly among its dreadlock-wearing followers in the Jamaican sector.
Black smoke emitted from the cardinals' gathering place means the balloting has not produced a decision, while the sight of white smoke means a new pope has been chosen and it's time to rejoice.
Pope Francis seems to be a pretty neat guy, based on reports circulating in the wake of his election.
He is a sports fan who loves soccer, although I won't hold that against him. His father was a soccer enthusiast who also played basketball. Pope Francis speaks three languages fluently, Spanish, Italian and German, and has only one lung due to having the other removed because of a respiratory illness in 1969. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, a native of Argentina, is the first non-European pope since the eighth century.
Pope Francis also is known for his simple living, including using public transportation services, cooking his own meals and residing in a small apartment, which indicates he is a true man of the people. Before joining the clergy, he obtained a master's degree and taught literature and philosophy in Argentine secondary schools.
And perhaps most importantly, he gets to wear flowing white robes and a cool hat, despite what that old joke about the pope's headwear might infer.
All in all, the Catholics have their share of detractors as well as legions of supporters. But one thing is for sure (fellow Baptists, are you listening?): They certainly aren't boring.

Are their any other Mac users? How do you go about burning the disc? What programs are you using to burn? The only one I can find is like Popcorn or Toast but they are all like $50... I know I'm part of a VERY small minority...

ConocoPhillips violated safety laws governing transportation of hazardous materials, according to charges filed Tuesday by the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.
The charges came in connection with a multiagency enforcement action at the Port of Los Angeles.
ConocoPhillips was charged with seven criminal counts, including failure to comply with California Highway Patrol regulations, failure to post proper placards and failure to properly train drivers.
As part of the same enforcement action, the City Attorney's Office also filed charges against Rust and Sons Trucking Inc., the two owners of Ace High Truck Parts, and several individual truck drivers.
The City Attorney's Office has not historically filed charges involving improper transportation of hazardous materials, but Assistant City Attorney Patricia Bilgin said she wants to crack down on repeat offenders.
"This is the beginning," she said. "We're not going away. I never go away."

How to get Android's Roboto font on your computer
When working on Ice Cream Sandwich, Google aimed to create a font made specifically for high-resolution screens. The end result was Roboto. Up until now, Roboto was limited to Android devices running ICS. Late last week, Google posted it for all to download and use on their personal computer.
You can download a ZIP file containing all 16 variations of the font by visiting the Android Design site.
After downloading the font files, you can either open each design's file and install it to your system or by adding the files to your system's Font folder. … Read more

Once I did the blog post, several of the PhoneLosers comment ed on the blog. I allowed many of their comments so that people could see the warped and abusive energy behind their actions.
We have to be calculated when we share information - whether it's location info or personal info. There will always be creeps and trolls who are anxious to use it for their amusement.
But it's just like living in a house with windows. Windows allow you see out but are an easy way to break in. We can live in all-brick houses to avoid break-ins, but then we'd miss the view. ~@JesseLuna
you are obviously not alone in your concern about being stalked on Twitter. Popular blog Bit Rebels just posted a story, posing the question: "What do you do when someone stalks you on Twitter?"
I am curious to see how many other Twitter'ers share this concern.

How old were you when you first knew?
For those of you with orientations other than straight, how old were you when you first knew that something about you was different? How did it present itself?
For those of you with heterosexual orientations, how old were you when you had your first serious crush? What was their name? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Personally, I knew something was different from a pretty young age when I'd volunteer to play the Daddy in games of "House". My first kiss was with a female childhood friend - although neither of us knew the significance of what we were doing. I didn't really like boys in younger grades, had no really meaningful romantic relationships with boys when I got older, and eventually came out to myself, friends, and family when I turned 18. My first real crush was in high school. Her name was Kate. I find that even in the gay community (myself included), we don't always take younger people seriously when they say they're gay because we dismiss their conclusion without the experience of age. On the other hand, many adults who self-identify as gay knew something of it at a younger age. So how old were you?
No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don't love anybody. - Rita Mae Brown
I just spent a half hour explaining my vote and all kinds of deep old memories and the post disappeared.
Anyway, I voted for the earliest memory category. Nutshell version why: I remember being 3 or 4 and longing for my cousin's girlfriend who was about 18 or 20. I was feeling sexual desire, though I didn't know what it was at the time of course, just an intense feeling that I needed to be around her and touch her. I wanted to hold her hand, kiss her, protect her, and be her hero. I had similar crushes on many many girls and young women - used to cut wildflowers for them, and crawl onto their laps to put the flowers in their hair. I remember wanting to marry them. But I didn't know there was anything unusual about feeling that way for your own sex until I was 6. That's when I became aware of the gay marriage furor. It took me about 15 seconds to recognize what was going on there, and I remembered that I would grow up to be an activist. Well except that when I was 6, it was such a long time til I would turn 18 I was 95% sure gay marriage would be legalized long before I reached 18. Anyway, it was that moment when my friend told me about the gay marriage stuff , that I said to myself, "Well, I am going to marry whoever is the most spiritual partner - whether it's a man or a woman." Which, as far as I'm concerned, means that I knew I was bisexual already before then. Too bad for the internal homophobia that followed and made me go round in circles about my orientation for years and years. |
Knowing and Knowing
I believe there is knowing and then there is knowing- a big difference- if you will.
In my case, I was attracted to men when I was young- a 4th grade teacher comes to mind -Mr. Casper- but I certainly didn't think of myself as gay- that word wasn't part of my world yet. It was only later, after hearing snatches of conversations from other kids, that I realized that what I was experiencing was outside the 'norm'. I shut down at that point- wanting to fit in. After years of hiding my feelings from myself and others- easy to do during my adolescence in the church- I had graduated from my Alma Mater (Evangel College) and was sitting in a service there when I found myself locking eyes with a current student. Voila. That 4th grad feeling was right there waiting for me. That's when I really, really knew. I wrestled with it, pushed it away, pushed him away. I often wonder what became of him- the one who woke me up and gave me back to myself. His name was Doug.

Oh, yeah yeah yeah!!!
What Daniel said!!
I answered the poll according to when I remember feeling romantic attractions for women, but I could answer a few other different ways too according to what you mean by "knowing". When I heard about homosexuals at age 6 I thought I probably was one, but no one would give me a clear answer what a homosexual was, so I was going on instinct and suspicion until I could find out for sure. When I first labelled myself as homosexual with a fair amount of certainty I was 10. That was also the moment when I pushed awareness of same-sex attractions back into some dark void at the back of my mind. I remember being so scared of what could happen to me if I was gay I fainted. 10 years old. Then in college the campus was full of gay activists. I held them in some awe, but was afraid of them too. But on February 15th, 1995, at quarter to ten in the morning I walked past a beautiful girl (she was 20) in the student center and then I [I]knew.[I] It was at that moment that I thought: "Run, Zerbie. Run far away from this girl, or you'll never be able to hide it from yourself again." And the funny thing is, I *DID* run! I chose to continue the internal homophobia thing and smash it down again, though it was terribly painful and gut-wrenchingly difficult to do so. But the even funnier thing is, she was going to the same meeting I was going to! When she walked through that door, sat directly across from me and smiled, I was done for. Then at the end of the hour as several of us were standing around talking she mentioned something about people being uncomfortable and rejecting her for who she was. I was astounded and asked why on earth people would treat her that way. She said, "well, some people are uncomfortable with the fact that I'm a lesbian." I cannot possibly convey how ecstatic I felt to hear her say she was lesbian! I immediately asked her out and she accepted! |
knew I was weird, or queer?
Hopscotch, 4-square, jumprope and tether-ball must have signaled something to my elementary teachers, but not me. I never liked my mom's hose and still road-killed my sister's barbies with trucks, but I also took over directing all the home plays (coming up with a great I Dream of Jeanie talcom powder puff of smoke when she exited her bottle) and on that fateful day, finding my dad's Playboys, gravitated toward the couple of Hustlers. Not because they were more graphic, but because they had MEN in them.
"Gay" didn't attach itself to "Me" until Jr. High when I noticed becoming aware of a jealously toward the little ladies stealing away the attention of my buddies, and them in turn pointing out that this or that one liked me, "in that way." I liked them too, but not one of them in "that" way... Uh oh! DING-deep bells, whistles, those broadway arrows appeared over my head flashing SISSY! HOMO! Damned FAG HERE! and I discovered pot...(cue gurgleing bong water sounds- Aahhhhuhhh whewwww. Gay? Me? Nuh Uh... and the drugged up denial begins.) The first time I said "I'm gay" to another soul (my hag before I knew what one was) was about half way through my senior year in HS. The gut wrentching, painfully delayed confession was immediately followed with a resounding, melodic "well Duhhh. We know that." She said, as if it were common knowledge, affirming all the suspicions of behind my back gossip. The innocent, ridiculous thought "well why didn't you tell me?" sunk in unspoken. It was not the response I expected or wanted... I had been hiding it so well... Things change, we had had joy we had had fun we had had seasons in the sun... Now for the family...
shamelessselfpromotion |
I knew when...
I knew when a 16 year old volleyball player entered my 10th grade World History class and I was a 26 year old, pregnant, married, teacher. I was immediately drawn to her and the attraction scared me to death. I spent the next 12 years in fierce denial, repetitively calling our relationship everything but what it was, and finally in desperation, I came out to God, myself, and to her and now we are happily married, and I am glad I have the love of my life in my life.

I live in a place where they have a festival called Toad Suck Daze. There is a place downtown called Toad Suck Square. Yes, I am not making any of this up.
In fact, hard as it is to believe, our school sends home large cardboard totes for the kids to put their toads in for the toad races. Apparently the kids are supposed to find a toad. I'm not sure how we're going to do that exactly.
I have photographic evidence of the toad tote (as sponsored by HP):

I have a sink in my kitchen island and I am having a problem with a sewer smell under the sink. Does anyone have advice on how to get rid of this odor or maybe a way to ventilate it better? | |||
Are you sure its not from a garbage disposer? It would help if you post pictures of the sink and the pipes under it. And is it a new construction, or how old is it? Lots of possibilities, pictures would help.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr, | ||||
I would check to make sure the pipes Have a P- trap this will keep the Gases from backing up | ||||
There are P traps on both the drains, but I am still getting that bad smell. | ||||
It could be from the disposal or maybe the diswashers. I have a double dishwasher that drains into the disposal. I don't know how to post a picture or I would, but how could I keep the smell out if it is the dispoal or dishwasher? | ||||
You could try running some baking soda through the disposal - may kill the smell. Wondering if the drain is vented - often difficult to do in an island, especially if the island sink was added later as a DIY project. If you are not vented within 5' of the drain, then you may need to add a Studor vent inside the island cabinet. Jaybee | ||||
Thanks a lot. I will add the vent and try the baking soda and I will let you know if this works. | ||||
to clean a garbage disposer you need a small store bought bag of ice , some 3-4 lemons cut into 1/4 s baking soda and vinegar... step 1 turn on disposer put some ice cubes into the disposer with a cup of baking soda and let it run until no more cubes are left ...step 2 after the cubes are all disposed of pour a cup of vinegar into unit and turn on unit for a few seconds... step 3 more ice cubes with 1/2 of the the cut up lemons and run the disposer again till all gone...step 4 let the cold water run for 3 minutes and repeat step 3... this will clean your disposer and the pipes from the disposer to the drain. i use 2 trays of ice cubes , baking soda and lemon every month and it keeps the smell under control and my kitchen aid disposer i purchased in 1981 clean and humming... i also clean my dishwasher 2 times a year with 2 cups of baking soda in the detergent compartmen and the rest sprinkled inside the washer and run it empty a full cycle on hot.dishwasher is 14 years old.This message has been edited.

Oxford City Council guarantees 'living wage' (From Witney Gazette)

Oxford City Council guarantees 'living wage'
5:00pm Saturday 27th October 2012 in News By Freddie Whittaker, covering Politics and Kidlington. Call me on 01865 425498
Oxford City Council has become the first authority in the county to gain "living wage" accreditation by making sure all employees get paid at least £8 an hour.
The council has been accredited by the national Living Wage Foundation after implementing the scheme three years ago.
A "living wage" is higher than the national minimum wage and is calculated based on the cost of living in a specific area of the country.
City council employees are all paid more than the £8.01-an-hour rate, almost £2 higher than the minimum wage, which is currently £6.19.
Council leader Bob Price said: "The council has strongly endorsed that its employees and contractors' employees should be paid at least living wage, rather then the much lower national minimum.
"We know that the costs of housing and transport in Oxford are higher than elsewhere, and the living wage reflects those costs.
"The Greater London Authority has taken the same approach, reflecting the high costs of living in the capital.
"We're pleased our initiative has been formally recognised and the positive effects this policy has had on supporting the city's economy."
Rhys Moore, director of the Living Wage Foundation, added: "The benefits to staff and business are clear. I welcome the leadership shown by Oxford City Council on this."
Caroline Glendinning, the authority's Unison representative, said the union and its members welcomed the accreditation.
She added: "We want an equivalent to a London weighting, like an Oxford weighting, and this goes some way towards addressing that, but it is a drop in the ocean.
"To be fair to the administration, it is something they pushed for. No one at this council has been paid less than £8 an hour since 2009."
She said the scheme even extended to temporary or agency staff, under the terms of a deal agreed between council chiefs and contractors.
She said: "It's not just our employees — any contractors who work for us have to pay their staff the living wage.
"It also applies to any agency staff, and all our leisure services, even though they are partly sub-contracted."
Oxford is the only one of Oxfordshire's six local authorities to have gained accreditation.
Both Cherwell District and Oxfordshire County Council confirmed there was no plan for a living wage, and the other districts did not respond to the Oxford Mail's inquiries.

I SO wish that the whole lot of them, from top to bottom get sacked and permanently banned from working in any local authority in the United Kingdom ever again. Deport them off the planet too!

Only one thing, increase our council tax.

And they had the nerve to go on strike over their bloated pensions that we pay for out of our hard earned money, these people really do need a reality check.

If the scheme was so fantastic why are so few signed up?
The council can sign up for it since it can probably recover this from the tax payer, through council tax or other paid for services.

They are on planet Zog, and really need a reality check. Next time they're on strike, go and protest by the picket line. Cover your mouth with gaffer tape, because the council won't listen anyway.

Are all of you lot above taking something? For a 37 hour week, £8 per hour will get you a little over £15k. Clearly in the realms of the fat cats aren't they!?
Niko, that is for the lowest grade, doing a Mcjob, that would not even merit minimum wage, it would be fairer for the council to publish all the grade wages.

This would make me laugh if I wasn't about to be sick. This comes in the same week that the council refused a fare increase that would higher the average cab drivers wages to £4 an hour, I do 70 hours a week and don't come close to even half the hourly rate that the council pays its staff, and with the pensions on top, they are not living in the real world. No wonder they are always smiling.

Search Engine Optimization Takes Time - April 22, 2013
These days it's pretty hard to find someone who hasn't heard of Google, Yahoo, or Bing. The search engines are monstrous and account for a vast majority of the traffic online. Millions, if not billions of searches are performed on a daily basis by people looking for anything and everything. The behemoths known as the search engines provide these answers, and they do it because they have their ever-seeing eyes reading over as much of it as they can find.
Web Design Packages – Fair, Honest, Custom & Upfront Pricing - April 19, 2013
Pricing for web design services is one of the most complicated challenges all web companies face. Most web companies have an opinion of what their time is worth and what their hourly rate should equate to – which explains why you'll see quotes ranging all over the board when you're shopping around. Dissecting all the variables that go into the equation when trying to be flexible to offer a tailored solution is imperative; accurately estimating a web project can be very difficult but not impossible
Business SEO Services – Getting Started! - April 18, 2013
These days, everything is online. Bank accounts, grocery shopping, socializing with friends, even buying our clothes and furniture. Everything is online, but it just didn't appear there. Somebody, somewhere at sometime had to add all of it to the web, and that was done by the businesses themselves. Anybody who's store or business is online is there because they put it there or paid someone else to do it for them. Your business, your company needs to make the same transition.

Toulon sign Habana
11 Jan 2013
Springbok and Stormers wing Bryan Habana will join Toulon after Super Rugby.
The 29-year-old has agreed a three-year deal with the French Top 14 club. He will depart to France following the Stormers' Super Rugby campaign.
'I'd like to thank everyone at Western Province for their support throughout my stay in Cape Town,' he said. 'I've had three great seasons in the Cape thus far and I am looking forward to finishing off on a high before taking on a new challenge overseas.
'It's a wrench to leave my home, even if only for a short while, but the chance to test myself against different opposition in a new environment was difficult to turn down. Toulon has an incredible pedigree and some phenomenal players and working with everyone there is going to help me improve my game – and hopefully I can bring something new to the team there as well.'
WP CEO Rob Wagner commented: 'As sad as it is knowing that Bryan will be leaving us after this year's Super Rugby season, he does so with our blessing and we would like to thank him for his contribution to the Western Province and Stormers teams over the past three years.
'We would like to wish Bryan and his wife everything of the best for their new chapter abroad, but we also look forward to him giving his all for the Stormers during the 2013 Super Rugby season.'
Habana added that he'd still make himself available for Springbok selection.
'Playing for the Boks is a huge part of my life and I would never turn my back on my country,' he said. 'I'll never stop giving 100% on the field for any team I play for and if the Springbok coach picks me, I'll be there.'
Habana boasts 83 Test caps and is South Africa's all-time top try-scorer with 47. He will join fellow South Africans Bakkies Botha, Danie Rossouw, and Joe van Niekerk at Toulon.

Your comment re Frans Steyn is based on personal prejudice rather than detached rational assessment – it certainly isn't fair or accurate and doesn't take into account his fullback attributes: rock solid under the high ball, positional play is uncanny, ability to tackle, ability to effectively join the line, clearance kicks that are massive and drop goals from halfway. He also has incredible accuracy – at test rugby level where big match temperament is critical – for his long-distance place kicking. Need I say more – he is a proven force with the most comprehensive skill set for a fullback in the game – he's got all of it – and his talents would not have been wasted and misused by any other country as they have in SA.
13 Jan 2013, 12:33 pm@Transformation-46: admit to what? before bakkies played for toulon you had zero interest but now you are enamoured by "mercenary tendencies"
maybe one day you will be 'enamoured' by kiwi teams as it seems you are quick to change your principles like your broeks

13 Jan 2013, 13:38 pmDon't think Toulon are wanting in the physical stakes with bakkies and danie, probably perfect foils for van niekerk and the lighter French flankers – I think Toulon did bladdy well last year.
The one thing that HM appears to have done really well is ressurect Habana's career last year, in 2011 he was dire. In any event, I think it's time to start blooding someone else for Boks with 2015 in mind- this Rhule looks like a lean and mean finisher.
I think Stormers will win the super 15 this year with or without habana, but deon fourie and elstadt must start for most games. If joe pietersen fit I play him or grant at 10 rather than jantjies – otherwise it's a moerse squad especially with the lions additions of cilliers and taute.
13 Jan 2013, 14:27 pm@cab-53: " The one thing that HM appears to have

meyer had no hand in habana's good form, the player made no mention of him in the july interview of SARugby mag.
13 Jan 2013, 14:58 pmi'm just saying its an an interesting concept, that's all.
13 Jan 2013, 15:55 email@example.com. Cowper-50:
Well, I can say the something similae about your view of Frans. That it is based on personal preference rather than detached rational assessment.His positional play at full back is poor. Just have a look against Wales in the RWC in 2011 and see how many times players like FdP, Habana, etc had to fall back to field kicks because Frans was not in the right position.
Give me one example where Frans joined the back line from full back and send his wing over to score a try. Compare Muliaina when he joined the line and the countless tries the AB wings scored after receiving the last pass from him. Oh yes, I don't know if you've noticed. Frans, when he joined the line from full back, only did so on the right wing side of the field only then to kick a grubber for field position, ran into an opponent or got to the ground where he was then penalized for "not releasing" the ball.
One or two 60m kicks per game is not enough reason to play him at FB.
Provide me with his stats wrt his "incredible accuracy for his long-distance place kicking." He had 3/3 against the AB quite a few years ago and all of a sudden everybody said how accurate he was. I believe he missed 3/3 against the Argies (I think) last year.
No man, I'll give him credit for his good defence, his catching from the air (if he's in position and the odd long range clearance/kick to poles/drop goal but I do believe that he is not this superman that you guys believe him to be.
He is an average test player at best.
13 Jan 2013, 15:59 pmgot to the ground = got tackled to the ground
13 Jan 2013, 18:03 pm@Transformation-54:
i'm not sure that is correct, i dont feel the need to perpetuate any myth, and i think meyer's first season was pretty ordinary considering the talent we have and i wanted to pull my hair out at times such were the conservatism in selection.However, just as i criticised, credit must also be given for the turnaround in form of certain players, and say what you like but he does seem to have the player's confidence, i dunno if thats cos habana is a secret boertjie in another lifetime or they bid onder die selfde blou vlag, i dont really care, all i know is habana was uiters kak for most of 2010 and 2011 – and i was a huge fan – he went from one of the best players in world rugby to one of the worst – he had no hunger no form no confidence no heart – it was horrific. jan duplessis is another one, seemingly completely different players under meyer, the workrate stepped up at least 30% i reckon.
i think meyer is able to motivate these players tremendously, dunno if its cos he a fellow boertjie but they all rate him as the next coming, which is sometimes a good thing, same as prayers (im a great fan if it means it'll give them an edge), personally i think he's too conservative and blou-biased, but there are glimmerings of hope, this season will be the test, the boks must win 80% and start playing rugby or else he must waai – too much talent at present for 65% results.
13 Jan 2013, 18:12 pmif he had to select fourie, elstadt and de jong in Bok 22, that would be a giant step forward, tell me who is going to take this side on (they will sommer klap the ABs into next week):
1. Beast 2. Bismark 3. Cilliers 4. Elstadt 5. Etsebeth 6. Brussow 7. Alberts 8. Vermeulen 9. Hougard 10.Goosen 11. Habana/Rhule/JdV 12. Frans 13. De Jong 14. JP 15. Taute
16. Gurthro 17. Deon Fourie 18. Jan Dup 19. Bekker 20. Kolisi/Louw 21. Joe P 22. Habana/Rhule
no one going to be beat that side in a hurry

G. Wiseman Handmade Pocket Knife (Black)
D-2 steel blade sodbuster pocket knife with black micarta handle. Co-designed with Sebastian Kaufmann and made exclusively for the store. Handmade by G. Wiseman in Watts, OK. Stamped with your initials. Also available with Red and White handles. Ships free. (more info)
Notify me when back in stock
This classic pocket knife is a sharp, straight-talking combination of rust-resistant steel with a black micarta handle that will last through the ages. Brass pins hold the simple, compact knife together. Whether the knife is folded or open, every joint aligns seamlessly.
This is handmade by knifemaker Gene Wiseman to custom specifications exclusively for Kaufmann Mercantile.
was a time when every man carried a knife — not for
fear of being robbed, but for fear of being rendered useless by a piece
of twine, a stick, or a cardboard box. This knife is small and elegant, tough as the country and smart as
the city, and designed to be carried with you everywhere. A
sodbuster is a simple, single-bladed knife — not too big, and not too
small — named for farmers and made to be useful for just about any
ordinary job.
The blade tucks cleanly into the handle, and is secure but easy to open. We worked with Wiseman to make a knife that is useful and pleasant to carry and own. Wiseman makes each of these knives one at a time, somewhere in the back-wooded border region of Oklahoma and Arkansas.
The canvas micarta handle is very hard, will last forever, and won't be affected by impact or moisture. The pivot pin is stainless steel with a brass washer, giving the pin a subtle, two-toned bullseye. The surface is smooth but not slippery — there's just enough traction to give your fingers something to grip onto.

Drop it in your pocket and soon it will feel as important to you as your wallet and keys. Use the lanyard hole to loop some leather or line through so the knife can be attached to your belt loop, bag strap or jacket. The pocket knife first became popular in 600 B.C. and will always be the original EDC.
This knife has a functional 2 3/4-inch blade. Local and state laws vary a lot, so check yours to make sure carrying this won't get you into trouble.
steel is tool-grade, and very strong. While it is rust-resistant, it's
not stainless, and you should dry the blade thoroughly if it gets wet.
The sharpened edge of the blade is perfect for cutting and whittling.
Don't use it on extra hard surfaces like metal or bone.

close it by applying pressure to the back of the blade.
This knife comes to you very, very sharp. When it's time, sharpen
the blade on an oiled stone. If you're not confident on a sharpening stone, be sure to seek out a reputable professional.
Gene Wiseman worked many a hot summer in Oklahoma forging metal
for horseshoes. About 10 years ago he started honing his milling and
grinding skills as he turned his eye toward knife making.
has a small workspace — the size of a trailer, about 10 feet wide
by 70 feet long, where he makes the knives by himself from start to
finish. Watts is a poor area in the wooded hills on the border of
Oklahoma and Arkansas, the old frontier, "on the edge of the plains
where it gets flat and windy."
Wiseman tells us that each knife takes two entire days to make, and at most he can
heat-treat 2–3 blades at a time. Shoeing horses gave him plenty of
experience with flattening metal — work that's sometimes dangerous and
requires great attention to detail.
talks easy and enjoys his work. And explains that he was happy he discovered the internet
last year, which allowed him to start selling and making a living with his handmade
knives, which is nice, because he prefers it to shoeing horses. As he
says, "Being able to stand up straight without fightin' a horse, not
being out in 100 degree weather with flies biting, that made learning to
make knives easy."
letter on one side of the blade is code for the year the knife was
made (e.g. B for 2011, C for 2012, D for 2013). The other side is
stamped with Wiseman's name.

Great read thanks for posting.
In Session: Elvis' 1969 revival, Part I
December 12, 2008
by Gillian G. Gaar
Elvis Presley saw 1968 end at the same location where hed seen it begin: the Thunderbird Lounge in Memphis.
Thats where he hosted a New Years Eve party for the second year running, celebrating with his family and friends, with entertainment provided by a host of acts, including Flash and The Board of Directors, Vaneese Starks, The Short Cuts, B.J. Thomas and Billy Lee Riley.
And he had good reason to be optimistic about the coming year, for a change. A few weeks prior, on Dec. 3, his television special, simply titled Elvis, had aired to critical raves and excellent ratings. His latest single, If I Can Dream, which had dramatically closed the special, was on its way to being his highest-charting single since 1966, while the shows soundtrack album would become his first Top 10 hit since 1965s Harum Scarum.
There is something magical about watching a man who has lost himself find his way back home, Jon Landau famously wrote in Eye magazine about the special that launched Presleys creative rebirth.
As Ernst Jorgensen, who would later produce Presleys CD reissues, noted in his book Elvis Presley: A Life In Music, [The TV special] only gave Elvis record sales a modest boost at first, but its real effect was much broader and deeper. It re-established his place as a dominant force in American music and culture.
After years of wandering in the Hollywood wilderness, the message was clear: Elvis Presley was back.
Studio time
The challenge now was to fulfill all that promise.
Presleys manager, Col. Tom Parker, was already laying the groundwork for Presleys return to live performance in the summer of 1969 at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. And a studio session had been scheduled for January, Presleys first non-soundtrack session in three years.
In keeping with the spirit of change now around him, Presley also made the decision to record in his hometown of Memphis for the first time since his days with Sun Records. The resulting sessions at American Studios would take Presley back to the top of the charts and produce some of his most acclaimed work.
The January session had originally been scheduled to take place at RCAs studios in Nashville, Tenn., where Presley had been regularly recording over the past decade. But a number of people in Presleys entourage now had ties to American.
Marty Lacker (who served as co-best man at Presleys wedding) had just started working at the studio, and Red West (a Presley bodyguard who also worked as an actor) was hanging out there regularly, working as a songwriter. The studios co-owner, Lincoln Chips Moman, had produced tracks for Memphis DJ George Klein, another longtime Presley friend.
Moman himself had been pushing for Presley to check out American, telling Klein in his typically blunt fashion, Whens Elvis gonna get some good songs, man? Whens he gonna quit cuttin that crap?
Each man pointed out that Moman had assembled a formidable group of in-house musicians at American: Reggie Young (guitar), Tommy Cogbill and Mike Leech (bass), Bobby Wood (piano), Bobby Emmons (organ) and Gene Chrisman (drums). Over the previous 18 months, an impressive 64 records that had been recorded at American, by artists like The Box Tops, Wilson Pickett and Dusty Springfield, had all hit the charts.
Presley was intrigued both by the idea of capturing some of Momans hit sound and the fact that the studio was only a short drive away from his home at Graceland. Sessions were duly set up to begin on Jan. 13, five days after Presleys 34th birthday, with Moman readily postponing a Neil Diamond session that had been previously scheduled. Along with Moman, Presleys regular producer since 1966, Felton Jarvis, would also be on hand, providing a familiar face in the control booth.
Presley had a cold when he first arrived at American that night and was a bit taken aback by the studios condition, which was run-down enough for a host of rats to feel comfortable taking up residence; What a funky studio! he announced, responding to hearing rodents scuffling around.
For their part, the musicians werent overly impressed about working with someone of Presleys stature, having already worked with many big names by then. But, they were surprised by the charisma he exuded before work even began.
Youd know he was in the room when he walked in, said Reggie Young. You hear stories about people that have that effect on people, and I never thought anything about it. But Elvis really did. He just kind of commanded his space. You definitely knew he was there.
With the sessions not tethered to any film soundtrack, the vastly improved quality of the songs recorded was immediately apparent from the very first number laid down, Long Black Limousine, the somber story of a woman who leaves her small town, vowing to return in a luxury car one day, only to have it turn out to be her own hearse. It set a melancholy tone that carried through the subsequent work, with most of the songs addressing pain and loss.
This Is The Story, Wearin That Loved On Look, Youll Think Of Me, A Little Bit Of Green and Im Movin On, all recorded on the 13th and 14th, each dealt with failed (or failing) relationships; only Gentle On My Mind was an unabashed love song. The songs also clearly evinced an adult sensibility; not only was it apparent that the days of songs like A Dogs Life, Do the Clam and Yoga Is As Yoga Does were well over, gone also were songs with moon n June sentiments about love lasting til the end of time. Many of the songs recorded at the American sessions had a bittersweet quality to them, reflecting a life of experience, with its attendant sorrows as well as its pleasures.
Presley quickly won the musicians respect for how hard he worked. His vocals were recorded as the musicians worked out a songs arrangement, with the understanding that hed recut a final vocal later. Nonetheless, he gave his all during the early takes, with sax player/arranger Glen Spreen marveling at how hed effectively give a full performance in the studio, even standing behind a baffle.
He was back there just like he would be onstage, doing gyrations and the whole thing because that was just the way he sang, Spreen told biographer Peter Guralnick.
And despite his cold, Presley himself felt re-energized by his work in the studio.
Man, that felt really great, he told his friends on his way home after the first session. I cant tell you how good I feel. He later said he never worked harder in the studio than he had during the sessions at American.
Presleys cold gave his voice an appealing roughness, but after two nights, when he developed full-blown laryngitis, he took time off to recover. But the Memphis Boys kept working, spending the 15th and 16th recording backing tracks for four more songs, in the expectation of Presley cutting his vocals later.
Dont Cry Daddy and Mama Liked the Roses undoubtedly hit a chord with Presley, as both dealt with the death of a mother, though Mama was more lyrically subtle than Daddy. Both could have become unbearably maudlin in the hands of another singer, but Presleys restrained delivery gave them an affecting poignancy.
Inherit the Wind and My Little Friend were flip sides of the same kind of love song. In the first, the singer is leaving a relationship; in the second, the singer is one mourning a lost relationship. Backing tracks for Come Out, Come Out and Mac Davis Poor Mans Gold had also been laid down, but Presley never recorded a vocal for either of them. He offered Angelica, another song considered for the sessions, instead to R&B singer Roy Hamilton, one of his idols, who was recording at American during the day. Hamilton took Presleys advice and duly recorded the number, releasing it as a single.
Stay tuned for Part II of our look back at Elvis' 1969 Memphis sessions! ------> more here.

Wow FANTASTIC article! I learned some new things in that. Such as GK being an artist who Moman's produced for. I also never knew that Elvis gave Angelica to Hamilton. i know there's pics of them together at American but never knew he turned the song down for his idol to do. What a classy move! Everyone who thinks he stole music from another race needs to read that part of this article so that they can eat crow. I really wished RCA would take notice of these great recordings and remaster them from the first generation tapes as they did with 30 #1 Hits and give Elvis' greatest work ever the proper respect it truly deserves. Now would be the perfect time for that with it being the 40th anniversary.
IMO the reason for From Elvis In Memphis not being more successful chart wise was due to some weaker material on the album. Such as It Keeps Right On A' Hurtin', I'll Hold You In My Heart while the stronger songs like Stranger and Without Love were held back to the lesser deep album. Also Suspicious Minds should have been included. Another problem with the album was the mix with the overdubbed deep base drowning out musical parts from one side while the drums were watered down by Jarvis and RCA to make it a soft contemporary commercial sound.
