Product Details
The heavy-yielding big sister of WSS Skunk Automatic! Big Bud Automatic feminized keeps the auto-flowering ability, short bushy Indica shape and sparkling juicy buds of WSS Skunk Automatic, while adding a sweet lemon flavour and clear, happy high to the mix, thanks to her 20% Sativa component. Indoors, the flowering phase begins when the plants are still small (normally about seven weeks after seedlings are established) and is usually completed within 60 days. Big Bud Automatic feminized seeds are easy to grow both indoors and outdoors and plants generally finish around 65-100cm tall, making this cannabis variety an ideal choice for gardeners with low ceilings or fences.
Big Bud Automatic gives a beautiful yield for an autoflowering strain, especially one which stays so compact. Due to their fat, oversized calyxes her delicious buds finish bigger, heavier and somewhat more open than those of WSS Skunk Automatic. Plants retain a mostly-Indica growth pattern, making these autoflowering seeds a great buy for people using Sea of Green or Screen of Green growing methods.
During cultivation, the smell of cannabis is quite subtle, but a gentle squeeze of the ripening tops will release a mouthwatering scent of sweet citrus, as well as leaving you with sticky fingers from their thick coating of resin glands!
- Temperate / ContinentalBig Bud Automatic (Autoflowering) can be grown outside in a normal warm summer.

Originally published at http://nafeez.blogspot.com by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed on January 26, 2009
The arrival of the Obama administration will not fundamentally alter the course of military expansion accelerated during the Bush era. The origins of these policies do not lie uniquely in neoconservative ideology. While the election of President Obama may offer new opportunities for progressive forces to delimit the damage, their space for movement will ultimately be constrained by deep-seated structural pressures that will attempt to exploit Obama to rehabilitate American imperial hegemony, rather than transform it.
Indeed, the radicalization of Anglo-American political ideology represented by the rise of neoconservative principles and the militarization processes of the 'War on Terror', constituted a strategic response to global systemic crises supported by the American business classes. The same classes, recognizing the extent to which the Bush era has discredited this response, have rallied around Obama. Therefore, as global crises intensify, this militarization response is likely to undergo further radicalization, rather than a meaningful change in course. The key differences will be in language and method, not substance.
Obama and National Security: "It's the Oil, Stupid!"
This became increasingly clear as Barack Obama's administration appointees became known — individuals whose political and ideological positions are largely commensurate with neoconservative ideals particularly on security matters, and whose social and intellectual connections link them to neo-conservative think-tanks and policy-makers.
A glance through Obama's national security team also raises eyebrows, but we should focus on his selection of former Marine General Jim Jones as his National Security Advisor. Jones was previously appointed to the NATO post of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and Commander of the US European Command (COMUSEUCOM) under the Bush administration. The thrust of Jones' imperial vision of US national security can be seen from a UPI article describing his work in 2005:
"NATO's top military commander is seeking an important new security role for private industry and business leaders as part of a new security strategy that will focus on the economic vulnerabilities of the 26-country alliance. Two immediate and priority projects for NATO officials to develop with private industry are to secure the pipelines bringing Russian oil and gas to Europe… to secure ports and merchant shipping, the alliance Supreme Commander, Gen. James Jones of the USMarine Corps said Wednesday… A further area of NATO interest to secure energy supplies could be the Gulf of Guinea off the West African coast, Jones noted… Oil companies were already spending more than a billion dollars a year on security in the region, he noted, pointing to the need for NATO and business to confer on the common security concern."
In summary, Jones' national security strategy privileges US military control over regions containing substantial underexploited oil and natural gas reserves, in Africa's Gulf of Guinea, the Black and Caspian Seas, and the Persian Gulf. This drive also allows the US to consolidate European dependence for its energy security on NATO, thus solidifying EU support of the wider US geostrategy to control global energy resources and transportation routes.
Obama and the Economy: Déjà vu?
As for Obama's ambitions for tackling the financial crisis, even a scathing New York Times editorial noted that President Obama's economic team, put together to tackle the economic and financial crisis, consisted of the very same people who had "played central roles in policies that helped provoke today's financial crisis." These include Tim Geithner who as president of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York "helped shape the Bush administration's erratic and often inscrutable responses to the current financial meltdown, up to and including this past weekend's multibillion-dollar bailout of Citigroup"; and former World Bank chief, Larry Summers, who "championed the law that deregulated derivatives, the financial instruments — aka toxic assets — that have spread the financial losses from reckless lending around the globe."
Obama and the Transnational American Business Class
One needs to look beyond the rhetoric to get an idea of what Obama really means for the world. Analysis of Federal Election Commission data on the largest financial donors to both the McCain and Obama presidential campaigns reveals that they were almost entirely sponsored by the same banks, financial institutions and corporations (except Obama received significantly more corporate financing than his rival McCain). This suggests that US policies have, and will continue to, broadly represent the insecurities and interests of Anglo-American capital — and further, that American business classes actually favoured Obama and provided him the finances and expertise to produce a power-house media and publicity campaign.
Obama Shuts Down 'War on Terror'… Not
So what should we make of Obama's opening measures, almost as soon as he was inaugurated as President, to close Guantánamo Bay, de-legitimize torture and challenge CIA practices of extraordinary rendition? Firstly, we should of course welcome any such public condemnations of these practices, particularly by the new American President. But this should not blind us from critically examining what Obama's Executive Orders actually meant.
While around the world, Obama's measures were interpreted as completely reversing the Bush administration policies of torture, extraordinary rendition and secret prisons — starting with the declaration of the complete closure of Guantánamo Bay — deeper inspection of the details of his Executive Orders suggests, unfortunately, that cries of joy are slightly premature.
First, it should be understood that regardless of what elected US governments have said or left unsaid about the practice of torture by military intelligence services, torture is, and always has been, endemic and officially sanctioned at the highest levels. Declassified CIA training manuals from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, prove that the CIA has consistently practiced torture long before the Bush administration attempted to legitimize the practice publicly. This means that what made the Bush era distinctive was not the systematic practice of torture by US military intelligence agencies, but rather the US government's open and widely known endorsement of such practices, and insistence either on their obvious legality, or otherwise of the irrelevance of law in the context of fighting terrorism.
This means that Obama's public disavowals of torture do not actually represent the end of the systemic practice of the CIA's traditional interrogation techniques, conducted without public scrutiny for decades. Rather, they portend a sheepish return to secrecy — or in other words, a return to the obvious recognition that open declarations of covert US practices such as torture as official policy are detrimental, not conducive, to US hegemony.
Closer scrutiny of President Obama's first Executive Orders reveals that they were designed less to transform illegal US military intelligence practices, than to allow them to continue in secret without legal obstruction, by redefining their character (while retaining their substance):
- While Obama demanded the harmonization of interrogations in line with a purportedly Geneva Conventions-compliant US Army Field Manual, unaddressed revisions to that manual in 2006 — "in particular, a ten-page appendix known as Appendix M" — "go beyond the Geneva-based restrictions of the original field manual." Indeed, the Manual accepted 19 forms of interrogation and the practice of extraordinary rendition. Further, retired Admiral Dennis Blair, Obama's director of national intelligence, told a Senate confirmation hearing that the Army Field Manual would itself be changed, potentially allowing new forms of harsh interrogation, but that such changes would remain classified.
- Obama's supposed banning of the CIA's secret rendition programmes did not actually prevent the CIA from extra-judicially apprehending and detaining innocent civilians without evidence or due process, but only emphasized, in the words of one White House official: "There is not going to be rendition to any country that engages in torture." The problem here is that rendered detainees have already been sent to countries across the EU that do not officially sanction torture, where they were nevertheless tortured. Secret CIA detention facilities have been hosted in, for instance, Poland, and were previously justified by the Bush administration's State Department under exactly the same notion that Poland did not engage in torture. Even Obama's own counterterrorism adviser John Brennan, had insisted that rendition is "absolutely vital."
- Finally, while purportedly banning the CIA's use of secret prisons, the prohibitions "do not refer to facilities used only to hold people on a short-term, transitory basis." Yet without specifying an actual time-limit clearly defining the meaning of "short-term" and "transitory", Obama's injunctions effectively still permitted indefinite detention, as long as the CIA would officially re-classify the period of detention as designed to be short-term and transitory.
The end result was a successful re-configuration of the public presentation of US military intelligence practices, coupled with nominal legal caveats permitting them to continue relatively unimpeded — essentially a giant PR exercise. Meanwhile, the vast post-9/11 domestic national security apparatus denying habeas corpus, undermining due process, and facilitating mass surveillance as well as intrusive social control powers brought in by the Bush administration was not repudiated, but retained.
Not One to Waste Time
Abroad, the Obama administration began its first days in office by committing more troops to Afghanistan, intensifying military pressure on Pakistan, stepping-up covert warfare on Iran, and deepening military-political penetration of Central Asia and West Africa. The overarching motivations for these policies are US domination of energy reserves and transportation routes, exemplified in the appointment of oil-obsessed ex-NATO Marine Gen. James Jones as Obama's national security czar. Rather than reversing the pattern of attempting to intensify state power, these policies will severely exacerbate the potential for geopolitical competition and violent conflict.
Regime Rotation: Hegemony Rehabilitation, Systemic Stabilization
After the Bush administration's record of essentially trampling on any semblance of half-decent PR, leading to the very concept of US world leadership being vehemently opposed or incredulously ridiculed around the world, the arrival of Obama is set to rehabilitate American hegemony and restore some sense of credibility and even respectability to US military and financial power. After Obama's powerful inauguration speech, enough to make even a grown non-American man such as myself (nearly) weep (ok I'm exaggerating, but you get the drift…), Americans and even the entire world, can for the first time in perhaps a decade feel proud and satisfied that all is going to be taken care of.
Yet this sense of jubiliation is symptomatic of the fact that the Obama administration will pursue (and has already pursued) policies of hegemony rehabilitation and systemic stabilization. This will not involve a meaningful change of course, but rather a perpetuation of existing structures in the global political economy. In other words, not changing the system, but protecting it — violently if necessary, but this time with greater attention to PR.
So there will also be sharp ostensible differences with Obama's predecessors, for instance, greater concern for a multilateralist approach; avowing respect for international law and institutions; reliance on more covert methods of extending influence rather than overt military confrontrations with all those who are "not with us" and therefore de facto "against us"; etc. -thus allowing the US to return to the moral high ground so completely eroded by the Bush administration's open policies of unilateralism, endorsement of torture, and unabashed violations of international law. In effect, this will involve removing, relabeling or simply concealing practices that have served to undermine US authority in the eyes of its allies, and the world.
The outcome has already been disturbing: while neutralizing and thoroughly confusing progressive social and anti-war movements in and outside the West, the arrival of Obama has allowed the US government to rally unprecedented popular support behind it, for whatever it intends to do.
We will see, in this respect, a marked shift in the language and rhetoric of foreign policy, a return to more diplomatic strategies, as well as military policies couched in the discourse of humanitarian intervention and aid. Unfortunately, for a while, this shift will seem more convincing coming from Obama, as opposed to Bush. More than ever, therefore, progressive movements will need to up their game in understanding and accurately critiquing the new administration's policies, if they are to prevent processes of imperial militarization from intensifying.

A few weeks ago, I posted about the "typical dream" of a New Yorker, in which said New Yorker one night discovers a whole extra room hidden away somewhere in an otherwise cramped Manhattan apartment – opening up a disguised door, in the back of the closet… and finding a fully furnished 20'x20′ master suite. With a bearskin rug. Or a new bathroom, with gold-plated taps and a trouser press. Or an entire backyard, full of gas grills, hidden behind the living room wall.
The ecstasy of having more space in Manhattan.
I then suggested that someone should go around New York interviewing people who have had this dream – or asking people who have never had this dream to ad lib, describing what sorts of extra rooms and spaces they would most like to find, tucked away behind the limited square-footage of walls and apartment living.
You'd then edit all the responses up into a radio show – and broadcast it live at rush hour, without explanation.
The city goes wild.
Manhattan is full of extra rooms! people scream. There are secret hallways everywhere! People start knocking on walls and rifling through closets, desperately searching for a place of their own. Maybe an undiscovered planetarium in the basement crawlspace.
In any case: we're now doing it.
We're making the radio show.
We, in this case, is BLDGBLOG and DJ /rupture (who spoke at Postopolis! last month); we'll be putting your extra room fantasies on the air…
Specifically, /rup's got a weekly radio show on WFMU – 91.1 FM in New York City – and, to collect your dreams, we've signed up for a free, joint voicemail account.
It's voicemail as public recording booth.
So what's your extra room fantasy? You don't have to live in New York to answer. If you woke up in the middle of the night and found a door… where would you want it to go?
Call +1 (206) 337-1474 and let us know. If we like your story, we'll put you – anonymous, woven into a background of music, without explanation – live on the air in New York City, then podcasted around the world and available via MP3.
Meanwhile, there are ten thousand other potential uses for a voicemail account and a weekly radio show.
Over the next few weeks and months, then, DJ /rupture and I will be switching things up: asking new questions and looking for new material. For instance, there'll be a field-recordings-by-phone project – where someone standing on the Oregon coast can call +1 (206) 337-1474 and record two minutes' worth of coastal ambiance, which will later be played live on the radio – and a sound-of-your-favorite-bus-stop-as-recorded-by-a-cell-phone project, and a sound-of-your-empty-office-elevator project, and any number of other possibilities.
The sound of migrating geese, recorded by cell phone.
The sounds of 5th Avenue, recorded using every public phone booth on that street – a kind of sonic history of public space.
Maybe even the sounds of famous architectural structures: you're standing inside an empty room in the Empire State Building – so you give us a call: +1 (206) 337-1474. The volumetric reverb of the Taj Mahal. Summer rain pattering against the windows of the Gherkin.
Or you're standing on a terrace outside L.A.'s Griffith Observatory, recording the desert wind on an iPhone.
It's the voicemail account as musical instrument. Field recordings by phone. How to listen to a landscape. Podcasting space. The unexpected future of audio surveillance.
[Image: DJ /rupture, live in France; DJ /rupture – aka Jace Clayton – speaking at Postopolis! (photo by Nicola Twilley)].
So stay tuned to WFMU, 91.1 FM in New York City, on Wednesday nights, to hear the results of the voicemail project – the first voicemail fantasies should appear within two weeks – mixed in with some kickin' rekkids by the one and only DJ /rupture.
(For a little more about the idea behind this project, see The undiscovered bedrooms of Manhattan).

THE 31 NORWEGIANS ON THE "TITANIC" 2003 - by Per Kristian Sebak |
Their journey to the ill-fated liner When the legendary Titanic set sail from Queenstown, Ireland, her last port of call, on 11 April 1912, there were 31 passengers of Norwegian origin on board. This article tells the story of how the 31 travelled to the Titanic, and is mainly based on Chapter 3 in my book, "TITANIC - 31 Norwegian Destinies", which gives a comprehensive account of all 31 Norwegians on the ill-fated liner. 27 of the Norwegian Titanic passengers followed the travelling pattern of most of the more than 700 000 Norwegians who emigrated to America: crossed the North Sea before boarding the actual steamer taking them to America. In 1912, there were several shipping lines between Norway and England. These were mainly operated by the Wilson Line of Hull in England, Fred Olsen's company of Christiania, The Bergen Steamship Company (BDS) of Bergen and the Nordenfjeldske Steamship Company (NFDS) of Trondheim. Passenger lines between Norway and Britain in 1912:
Norway imported nearly all her coal from Britain, so a coal strike there in February 1912 would eventually cause great problems for Norwegian shipping. The situation was not so critical the first few weeks, but by the end of March, the lack of coal was very noticeable. NFDS and BDS, which operated many busy domestic and international routes, were forced to cancel several important sailings, which was very frustrating for the public of course. Usually up to six steamers were used on their joint line to England, but by early April only the Sirius and the Irma could be used. These two steamers were put on the route between Bergen and Newcastle, so for the time being, NFDS and BDS's line from Trondheim to Newcastle had to be suspended.
The 21 Norwegian fatalities:

In Youngsville, throwing a mattress in a dumpster isn't typically allowed unless the dumpster provider accepts them. Most municipal trash collection services won't accept mattresses in their dumpsters and such actions could even result in a fine. If you live in an apartment complex they usually ask that you do not throw furniture, mattresses or any large bulky items away in the dumpster. Unless you rent a dumpster for your own needs, and they allow you to throw a mattress in, it is usually never allowed.
Before you throw a mattress in a dumpster always check first to see if it is allowed. If you have questions about how to get rid of your mattress properly, contact Mattress Disposal Plus and we will be happy to help.
Proudly serving our neighbors in Youngsville since 2014.

Digital pianos are nothing new, but the efforts manufacturers go to in order to deliver a piano-like key action and authentic sound means these instruments can still be pricey. Even the cheapest models tend to be considerably more expensive than a half-decent second-hand upright piano. Not so with this Gear4Music offering...
The DP10 is a digital piano with a standard 88-note hammer-action keyboard, a selection of different sounds, built-in speakers, and an attractive integrated stand. The base of the stand incorporates three piano-style pedals. An unobtrusive panel at the rear provides connectors for power and audio I/O, as well as a USB socket for hooking up the DP10 to a computer. Two headphone jacks are also provided on the underside of the piano.
Once assembled, the DP10 is not an unattractive beast. The black stain-effect wood finish and clean lines may be somewhat neutral, but they will blend in anywhere.
The DP10 has a slide-over lid that tucks back into the body of the instrument to reveal the keyboard... And what a keyboard it is.
The weighting and 'bounce' of the keys is exactly what we'd expect from an acoustic piano, and is as good as anything we've seen on digital pianos costing three times as much as this one. The touch sensitivity of the keys can be adjusted to suit your playing style, but we found the out-of-the-box setting to be perfect.
The three brass-finish piano pedals are positioned much as they would be on an acoustic instrument, and have a solid feel and positive spring-back action. They provide the conventional sustain, sostenuto and soft effects.
The DP10's built-in sound system gives a clean and undistorted sound and can kick out as much sound as you would realistically need. However, the main speakers are mounted on the underside of the piano facing downwards. When placed on a carpeted floor, this reduces the clarity of the sound. On the plus side, though, the stereo imaging is very effective and the sound seems as wide as the piano itself.
The speaker system can be disabled by plugging some cans into the second of the two headphone sockets. This is perfect when you want to practise in private or tinkle the ivories without disturbing anyone.
The other headphone socket does not disable the speaker system. This comes in handy if you are playing in a group or ensemble and want to be able to hear your own sound clearly above that of your fellow musicians.
The DP10 comes loaded with a small palette of sounds. There are two piano sounds (one bright, one warm), then there's CP80-style electric piano, harpsichord, vibraphone, church organ, strings, trumpet, sax and oboe. The two piano sounds are reasonably good; they're not going to challenge a top-end physical modeling synthesis engine, but are very playable nonetheless.
The other sounds are a mixed bunch. None are bad and all give a decent emulation of the source sound, but none leap out as being particularly great. It's possible to load two sounds at once as a layered pair or, by using the 'strings (lower)' preset, you can create a split with strings under your left hand and whatever you like under your right hand. The split point is fixed at F#3. It's a shame this can't be adjusted.
The DP10 also features a reverb unit and chorus effect. There are four different presets for each, with no further control possible. While some may find this a bit limiting, we found the presets to be well judged, offering a useful spread of possibilities. The addition of more fine tuning controls would only add unnecessary complexity to the impressively straightforward DP10.
Another handy feature is the built-in metronome, which emulates the sound of a classic clockwork metronome, complete with bell ring on the first beat of each bar.
Gear4Music has kept things simple on the features front: this piano isn't trying to act as your backing band or your recording studio. The DP10 is all about the pleasure of playing the piano.
The control panel that runs across the rear of the keyboard is delightfully uncluttered. There's a power switch at the far left, to the right of which is a volume slider followed by a single function button. And that's it.
The function button works in conjunction with the keyboard: hold down the button and press a key to select a different sound, change effects presets or enable the built-in metronome. The control panel clearly labels each key that can be used in this way. It's a straightforward procedure and should be a doddle for even the most technophobic of users.
Ins and outs
If you want to record the sound from the DP10, or feed it into a separate speaker or PA system, then the aux-out connector on the rear panel will do the trick. Surprisingly, there's also an aux-in connector, which enables you to mix an external signal with the DP10's sound - perfect for when you want to play along with CDs or backing tracks.
Alongside these audio connectors is a USB port. This enables you to send MIDI messages from the DP10 to your computer and vice-versa and means you could use the DP10 as a master keyboard in a studio. We'd like to have seen old-school MIDI ports as well as - or instead of - a USB port. MIDI ports are ubiquitous and would have enabled the DP10 to control other keyboards and synthesizers.
There are better sounding digital pianos out there, but at three or more times the price of the DP10. Ultimately, the most important thing in any instrument is playability, and in this regard the DP10 performs very well indeed. As an entry-to-intermediate level instrument, it will not disappoint.

[dropcap style="font-size:100px; color:#992211;"]L[/dropcap]et's hope this slightly counter-intuitive approach to managing social anxiety has some merit.
Because frankly, one of the reasons most of us do yoga, breathing exercises, muscle relaxation et al, is to get us away from the stinky evil humans.
New research out of Queen's University has shed light on how exercise and relaxation activities like yoga can positively impact people with social anxiety disorders.
Adam Heenan, a Ph.D. candidate in the Clinical Psychology, has found that exercise and relaxation activities literally change the way people perceive the world, altering their perception so that they view the environment in a less threatening, less negative way. For people with mood and anxiety disorders, this is an important breakthrough.
For his research, Mr. Heenan used point-light displays, a depiction of a human that is comprised of a series of dots representing the major joints. Human point-light displays are depth-ambiguous and because of this, an observer looking at the display could see it as either facing towards them or facing away. Researchers have found people who are socially anxious perceive these figures as facing towards them (i.e., the more threatening way) more often.
"We wanted to examine whether people would perceive their environment as less threatening after engaging in physical exercise or after doing a relaxation technique that is similar to the breathing exercises in yoga (called progressive muscle relaxation)," Mr. Heenan explains. "We found that people who either walked or jogged on a treadmill for 10 minutes perceived these ambiguous figures as facing towards them (the observer) less often than those who simply stood on the treadmill. The same was true when people performed progressive muscle relaxation."
This is important because anxious people display a bias to focus on more threatening things in their environment. In fact, some researchers think that this is how these disorders are perpetuated: People who are anxious focus on anxiety-inducing things and thus become more anxious, in a continuous cycle.
"This is a big development because it helps to explain why exercising and relaxation techniques have been successful in treating and mood and anxiety disorders in the past," says Mr. Heenan, who worked with supervisor Nikolaus Troje (Psychology) on the research.

Besides a tad bit on the dry side, it has been a beautiful summer throughout the South District. Our officers and detectives have been busy, though we have not been as busy some of the other MPD police districts. What a lot of us have been busy with is attending or participating in many different community activities.
In this summer edition of our newsletter you will find several articles about different "youth academies" which were held recently. Lt June Groehler heads up the MPD "Technology Committee" which started a "cyber camp" for youth a few years ago. Last week, another "Cyber Detective Camp" was held at the West District. Check out June's article for more on that. Another MPD work group, Amigos En Azul (aka Friend in Blue) held their second annual Latino Youth Academy. MPD officers in conjunction with officers from Fitchburg and Dane County Sheriff's Office organized a three day summer held at the Taft Street Boys and Girls Club. Check out Officer Nick Ryan's article for more on that event. Another group of primarily South District officers, led by Sergeant Lori Chalecki, organized the department's first "Black Youth Academy" held also at the Boys and Girls Club the three days following the Latino Youth Academy. Check out the WSJ story we have re-printed in our newsletter about this new effort. All together, these summer camps allow MPD officers to establish strong relationship with local youth, expose these youth to the police profession, and perhaps for more than a few of them, their summer MPD youth camp experience will turn out to be a life changing event!
The start of a new school year is upon us. UW and Edgewood students are now moving into apartments throughout the Regent Street corridor. During the week of August 27th, South CPT officers along with residents from the Regent Street Neighborhood association will be knock on student housing doors during the evening, welcoming the students back, and providing them with information on how to protect their property. Last fall, several dozen student homes were burglarized and laptop computers stolen. Let's hope we do not see a repeat of that this year. By policing our neighborhoods in partnership with those who live there, we feel we are building community amongst us one home at a time.

Specialized Boy's Hotwalk
If we're being honest with ourselves, learning to ride, back in the day, bordered on a traumatic event. The crashes, oh the crashes. These days, however, kids have it easy with awesome little bikes like our Boy's Hotwalk.
With no pedals or gears, it's designed to help Junior finds his balance by making it as easy as possible to put his feet down. In fact, scooting around with his feet is how the bike moves (outside of gravity), so he'll get used to the feeling of riding without much of the risk.
Even better for you, there isn't much that can break should the bike hit the deck on the pump track, so there's less maintenance than with a "traditional" bike. That's right, you get parental hero status, and they have the time of their lives while learning to ride. Win-win.
- Durable and tough, the A1 Premium Aluminum walking frame is designed specifically for little ones to scoot around safely.
- The 12-inch alloy wheels are not only light, but durable enough to take plenty of abuse.
- The Rhythm Lite Sport tires are heavy-duty, and allow your little dude to scoot around on- and off-road.

This isn't the unauthorized practice of law: The BAs aren't appearing in court, nor are they charging third parties for legal advice. These workers are helping their own employers understand and apply the law. That's perfectly legit, and it has created a rapidly expanding category of workers who perform legal tasks without a JD.
To see the scope of this trend, consider these recent job postings. I pulled these yesterday from dozens of similar listings--all in response to a single google search:
1. The Nestle Company is looking for a legal specialist. Responsibilities include analyzing, drafting, and coordinating the processing of agreements related to real estate transactions, including preparing and filing a variety of documents such as deeds, mortgages, and memoranda of leases; coordinating due diligence, preparing and coordinating the preparation of short term leases, estoppel certificates, and subordination agreements; analyzing, drafting and coordinating the completion of other commercial agreements, including marketing services agreements, distribution agreements and other agreements with retailers an suppliers; acting as initial contact with clients on matters; conducting legal and/or business research; and responding to legal inquiries.
Except Nestle is looking for a paralegal with 5-7 years experience in a corporate legal department or law firm. They prefer an undergraduate degree, and strongly prefer national accreditation as a Certified Paralegal Specialist, but make no mention of a law degree. Nor could a recent law graduate qualify for this job--unless he had spent most of college and law school working as a paralegal.
UnitedHealth doesn't think so. They're requiring an undergraduate degree or "equivalent work experience." They also want five or more years experience working in government or healthcare with experience in compliance; two or more years experience with regulatory filings; and two or more years experience performing data analysis and Market Conduct Exams (bet you didn't learn about those in law school). Even more intriguing, this is a telecommuting job advertised as especially attractive for retirees.
First, law schools need to learn much more about the job market for legal services--including the many ways in which nonlawyers perform those services. Rather than dismiss declining job outcomes as a symptom of the recession or the low point in a cycle, law schools need to explore the profound changes sweeping our economy. Computers, off-shoring, out-sourcing, unbundling, and the assignment of legal tasks to nonlawyers: these are real forces, not figments of a few fertile imaginations.
Second, law schools need to rethink the type and cost of the education they offer. We have been producing the same product for at least thirty years. We've updated the look and improved a few features, but legal education in 2012 is not very different from legal education in 1982--except that it costs much, much more. The jobs described above tell us that many consumers are no longer interested in our product: They have found cheaper, better ways to obtain legal services. We can continue to ignore that part of our market, producing only the type of legal service providers we want to produce, but consumers are going to continue falling away.
Finally, these jobs cast doubt on the easy assertions many deans and faculty make about "alternative careers." I found these jobs because I was researching some of those careers. When companies advertise for compliance officers, contract managers, and IP managers, do they show any preference for JDs? I hope there are some who do, but I did not find evidence of that in the postings I read. Instead, all of the postings I saw resembled the ones above: The employers wanted very specific workplace experience handling legal documents, rules, and issues of interest to them. I have no sense that any of the above employers would pick up a resume from a recent law graduate and say "What was I thinking? We need a real lawyer in here. This one doesn't have any practical experience but she's from a top tier school and competed in moot court. I'm sure she'll learn all the other stuff on the job."

Low Down & Shifty
Low Down & Shifty
1978 Yamaha XS650
She was a mess of a machine
350 lbs of heroin chic executed in cro-moly tube and hand-formed aluminum sheeting. Her tremendously overbuilt Yamaha® 650 parallel twin, now sporting 750cc of displacement and grossly optimistic cams, stood proud within her handcrafted perimeter frame. Dual Mikuni's vaporized the dwindling petrol supplies as fed to them by a trio of daisy-chained Pingle petcocks. Agreed, it wasn't a pretty arrangement, but these weren't pretty times.
It was sun-bleached earth, with its cracked asphalt veins and disintegrating infrastructure
It had taken a brutal toll on most forms of motorized transport. Those that remained were an odd balance of necessity versus availability. Shifty was one of these. Sporting few creature comforts – oblique ergonomics, kidney-rupturing suspension, limited lighting and almost no fuel range – she existed on the fringes of a broken society. Low, Down, & Shifty was nothing this new world needed but everything it deserved.

Christianity vs. Jesusanity — The Postmodern Temptation
R. Albert Mohler, Jr.
January 18, 2008
The most hard-core forms of postmodern thought are generally limited to academic campuses, but the postmodern worldview is trickling down in various forms to the popular level. While postmodern literary theorists debate the meaning of "totalizing metanarratives," at the level of popular piety we see the widespread substitution of "spirituality" for biblical Christianity.
In this sense, spirituality is a project centered in the self and constantly negotiable — more about "meaning" than truth. Where does Jesus Christ fit in all this? Darrell L. Bock and Daniel B. Wallace argue that popular culture is on a quest "to unseat the biblical Christ." They make their case in Dethroning Jesus [Thomas Nelson]..
As Bock and Wallace explain, classical biblical Christianity is being replaced by "Jesusanity." In their words:
"Jesusanity" is a coined term for the alternative story about Jesus. Here the center of the story is still Jesus, but Jesus as either a prophet or a teacher of religious wisdom. In Jesusanity, Jesus remains very much Jesus of Nazareth. He points the way to God and leads people into a journey with God. His role is primarily one of teacher, guide, and example. Jesus' special status involves his insight into the human condition and the enlightenment he brings to it. There is no enthronement of Jesus at God's side, only the power of his teaching and example. In this story, the key is that Jesus inspires others, but there is no throne for him. He is one among many – the best, perhaps, and one worthy to learn from and follow.
Biblical Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is both fully human and fully divine. Thus, Jesus does not need to be "humanized." As the Apostle Paul taught in Philippians 2:5-11, Jesus humbled Himself to take on full and authentic humanity. So, the real issue in Jesusanity is not humanizing Jesus, but denying His deity. Christianity and Jesusanity tell two different stories and represent two very different faiths. As Bock and Wallace explain:
Both of these stories afford Jesus a great deal of respect, but they are very different stories in regard to his importance. In one, Jesus is worshipped. In the other, he is simply respected. In one, he is intimately associated with God. In the other, he points to God. In one he is the Way. In the other, he shows the way. We cannot understand the public discussion about Jesus without understanding that the discussion entails these two distinct stories.
Dethroning Jesus comes in the wake of much cultural conversation and media attention devoted to the so-called gospels of Judas and Thomas and the collection generally known as the Gnostic gospels. These texts, never accepted by the Church as Scripture, do present very different understandings of Jesus than that taught by the Apostles and confessed by orthodox Christians. These different understandings are now represented by very different portraits of Jesus in the postmodern public square. As Bock and Wallace argue:
The portrait of Jesus in the public square has led to two stories about Jesus, and this despite the fact that both of these stories have often been called Christianity. One is Christianity, while the other is Jesusanity. The distinction between the two stories has surfaced for a variety of reasons, the most relevant of which we have sought to trace in this first overview. Four basic areas have contributed to the rise of these two different portraits of Jesus: (1) historical skepticism, (2) new imagination, (3) cultural factors that have changed how we assess things, and (4) the innate desire in people to seek, cope with or understand the spiritual. Within these four areas are twelve distinct factors: (1) skepticism about institutional religion of all sorts, (2) the rise of higher criticism, (3) the new finds in archaeology, (4) a larger sea change in the way we view history (written by winners/losers), (5) a selective appeal to ancient evidence, (6) the way Christianity is taught in many religious study programs, (7) increasing media attention, (8) the appeal of public-square crossover novels, (9) the intrigue of the pursuit of a spiritual journey, (10) the cultural desire to acknowledge religious diversity, (11) the growing recognition that religion motivates people, and (12) a brittle fundamentalism.
Each of these factors plays a part, but the "increasing media attention" is surely a major factor. Much of this attention is superficial and sloppy. The National Geographic Society, for example, should be embarrassed by its sensationalism in promoting exaggerated and misleading claims about the Gospel of Judas in its magazine and on television. The authors of Dethroning Jesus helpfully debunk many of the confusing claims made in recent years, answering those who assail the integrity of the New Testament and those who promote sensationalistic claims such as the discovery of the "lost tomb of Jesus."
Of course, more is at stake here than a battle over rival intellectual understandings of Jesus. As Bock and Wallace acknowledge, "Christianity is not Jesusanity for a reason. Jesus is about more than ideas." We must never depreciate the urgency of getting the doctrine right and understanding Jesus Christ as the Bible presents Him. But Jesus demands faith, not just correct knowledge.
Jesusanity fits the postmodern mind and the postmodern mood, but it cannot save. We really do not know what Christianity is if we do not also understand what it is not.

Eco - Masonry | Bricks, blocks and pavers utilise waste products such as bottom ash, crushed concrete, wood fibre, hemp and even recycled glass. They don't leach or off-gas and require little or no maintenance. They're readily recyclable and provide a strong, durable, termite proof cladding that, with appropriate construction methods, need no painting or waterproofing. They make very efficient use of cement and our Eco-Cement makes them easy to manufacture and set be reabsorbing chemically released CO2. With capture during manufacture Eco-Masonry products could be a net carbon sink. Please also read about our latest Eco-Masonry Exemplars |

Q: In our city, most of the high school seniors participate in "Senior Beach Week" during spring break. They rent beach houses and condos and party like there's no tomorrow. Alcohol, marijuana and sex abound. Our friends justify allowing their kids to go by saying they have to be trusted sometime. In truth, we all have good kids who have never given us any trouble. They just want to go and be part of the scene. Our nephew's parents, however, refuse to let him go. They say it's irresponsible even if the child in question has been trustworthy to this point. We are wavering back and forth on letting our 17-year-old son attend. He assures us he won't get into trouble. What are your thoughts?
A: My immediate thought is that it requires a serious lapse of common sense for a person to play with an explosive device, even if it has a safety and it's never gone off. In other words, the fact that a youngster has been trouble-free and trustworthy to date is no guarantee that he will not spontaneously combust if put in the wrong situation. It's not a matter of trust; it's a matter of understanding that ALL teens are impressionable (some more than others) and want to be accepted by their peers. It would be one thing if these kids were all members of a church youth group going on a mission trip to a third-world country. It's quite another when the destination is the modern equivalent of Gomorrah.
I strongly suspect that parents who justify allowing their kids to attend this weeklong bacchanalia by saying "Well, you gotta trust 'em sometime," are really afraid to incur the negative emotional reaction that is bound to happen if they say no. They want to be liked by their kids, so they let them do things that strain common sense. Your nephew's parents are to be commended for standing their ground. Certainly the talk will be that they're overprotective and controlling and so on. That's just more justification on the part of parents who desperately need to rationalize making a really bad decision.
Too many of today's parents have let having a good relationship with their kids take priority over providing effective leadership, part of which involves the willingness to make unpopular decisions. Instead, they think like politicians, always worried about doing something that might hurt their chances of re-election (or, in this case, something that might cause their kids to not like them for a while, as if that's relevant to anything). Politics and parenting don't mix.
In lieu of putting your foot down and taking the inevitable heat, you might propose to your son that since he has no intention of doing anything inappropriate, the entire family will go on spring break together. During the day, he can hobnob with his friends but the evenings will be family time. That plan would afford him a reasonable amount of freedom while at the same time minimizing the potential risks. Furthermore, instead of being ogres, you're just a couple of fuddy-duddies. You can live with that, I'm sure.
