Ask Dr. Howard Samuels A Question
Alcohol is everywhere in our society, at parties, events, billboards, commercials, TV and movies. Due to the disinhibiting effects, alcohol is used as a social lubricant. For others, alcohol can "take the edge off." Despite alcohol's integration into society, it still is classified as a drug, leading as one of the most widely used drug substances in the world.
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant in liquid form. Depending on one's size, weight, age, and sex, the amount consumed varies to produce effects, or intoxication. Also, alcoholic drinks differ in alcohol amounts-- beer is about 5% alcohol, wine is usually 12-15% alcohol, and hard liquor is about 45% alcohol.
Alcohol addiction is difficult to identify because it is so widely used in our society. Onlookers cannot determine the manner in which another drinks, only the individual can truly know if they are simply drinking socially or have a problem. The disease of alcoholism lies in the mind and the body. Prolonged heavy use of alcohol can lead to a physical addiction to alcohol. Alcoholics are bodily and mentally different from others in their reaction to alcohol.
Immediate effects of alcohol consumption include:
Lowered inhibition
Slurred speech
Increased aggression
Disturbed sleep
Impaired judgment
Impaired coordination
Heavy alcohol consumption can lead to an uncomfortable hangover, which consists of a headache, nausea, thirst, fatigue and dizziness. Long-term use of alcohol can lead to alcohol withdrawals when abruptly ceasing alcohol intake.
Alcohol withdrawal consists of:
Severe anxiety
Trouble sleeping
Clammy skin or sweating
Permanent damage to the liver and brain can be done by consuming large amounts of alcohol and by not feeding the body properly.Alcoholics can experience black out drinking, becoming angry and/or violent while drinking, and becoming defensive when confronted with questions about their drinking. One of the main symptoms of alcohol abuse is when one continues to drink after their drinking has continuously caused problems. If one is exhibiting alcoholic tendencies, such as the inability to stop drinking on their own, they most likely suffer from the disease of alcoholism. Other signs of alcoholism include:
Drinking despite alcohol-related physical, social, psychological, or occupational problems
Drinking to the point of physical or mental damage
Neglect of other activities
Excessive use
Persistence of Use
Impaired control
Large amounts of time spent in alcohol related activities
Denial is a serious element of those suffering from the disease of alcoholism. They tend to be very defensive and angry when confronted about their drinking. Those with untreated alcoholism will push those away that truly care about them and who ask the alcoholic to take a look at their drinking and the effects it has on them and their surrounding lives.
Many alcoholics describe their drinking in stages: fun, fun with problems, and then just problems. Initially, they can still drink large amounts of alcohol without any consequences. They then begin developing an increased tolerance and seek out more opportunities to drink. The drinker sporadically begins to lose control and experiences blackouts. Problem drinkers begin to use alcohol, rather than as a social lubricant. Alcohol abuse entails aggressive behavior becomes a habit and the drinker begins to avoid family and friends.
Heavy, habitual drinkers usually have to be detoxed medically, under the supervision of a licensed doctor. Unsupervised detox can be extremely dangerous, with risks such as seizures or possibly death. They can go into a series of tremors or hallucinations that only a doctor can treat. They will need certain medications to detox in a safe, appropriate way, with the least amount of possible stressors.

The 12 juniors walked into John Ensor's Energy, Power and Transportation class and felt pretty confident.
The students knew they were going to have to build a car at the end of the year; they figured it would be easy. Four classes had done it before them, left behind their finished work and passed on helpful hints. The project seemed to be losing a little of its challenge.

Moving with toddlers
I have been trying to prepare Arthur for our big move as I know it is going to be a massive change for him. I am hoping Billy is young enough not to notice a huge change (fingers crossed!). I've been doing a bit of reading on ways to make the transition to the new house as smooth as possible for the boys , one alarming article I read suggested ......
'To toddlers, moving is akin to having their entire world taken apart, which literally is what's happening.'
(Henderson-Shimm,http://www.babycenter.com/404_how-can-i-make-moving-to-a-new-house-easier-on-my-toddler_12461.bc )
Eeek! Scary stuff indeed!
As Arthur loves his books I have used that as a starting point to introduce the whole idea.
I found a lovely, simple story to share with him called 'Katie Moves House' by Liesbet Slegers.
I would definitely recommend it to fellow movers to share with their children. It is perfectly pitched to read with toddlers. It tells the story of a move from Katie's perspective. It covers all of the main features of moving from packing, loading the van, unpacking (What a joy!) to meeting new neighbours. The illustrations are bold and colourful and Arthur loves to talk about what is going on in each picture. This has been a great 'way in ' for me to relate Katie's move to our own move. We have had lots of chats about how we also have a big tower of boxes in our house and how Arthur will have a new bedroom too, just like Katie.
Another book we have looked at is 'Moving House' from the Usborne First Experiences range.
It is slightly more wordy then Katie Moves House and so better suited to three or four year olds. It tells the story of the Spark family moving house.The illustrations are great and give lots of opportunities to discuss the events of moving house.
Personally I am looking forward to the final part of the move when everybody gets to go to bed!
Have you moved house with a toddler? How did you prepare them for the big move?

If you would like to become a blogger for Blog Brigade, click the link below to find out how!.
Making the transition from active service to the civilian sector can be a trying time for service members and their families, but you don't have to go it alone. Plenty of guidance and resources are available to you and you have other service members to lend a hand as well, including leadership. To make the most of your transition experience, find out how your military leaders can help give you a leg up on your return to civilian life.
The Transition Assistance Program supports the command and military mission in several ways:
Military leaders help service members make a smooth transition by providing both information and support. Leaders can also ensure that service members have sufficient time off work to attend transition workshops and obtain counseling. As they prepare for transition, service members need an average of 40 hours, spread over several months, to take advantage of services offered by the military.
It is command leadership's responsibility to ensure that service members have full access to transition services. Leaders should identify members who are eligible to retire or separate and see that they sign up for required counseling and workshops. Commands should also designate a command transition representative to monitor separation and retirement dates and status of personnel and refer service members for preseparation counseling and transition services.
If transition services are not available locally, service members still have other options including the Internet. The family support website for each service branch provides transition information and related links. Military OneSource, an information and referral service provided at no cost to service members and their families, also has transition information including articles, resources and web links.

What was behind Ensenada LNG showdown?
Police try to close plant, then leave when the military shows up. What was that all about?
"I think people will watch it very closely," said James Clark, director of the Mexico Business Center of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. The potential for damage to direct foreign investment, he said, is "devastating."
Ricardo Thompson, who heads an Ensenada business group, Coparmex, said Pelayo may be in over his head.
"The mayor is being used by interests that he may not even be aware of," he said. "They have prompted him to take action."
Whatever the reason, Pelayo's move drew swift rebukes from top federal officials in Mexico City, who said he acted without authority and put at risk a facility that is critical to the country.
Pelayo has retorted that the criticism is "an orchestrated barrage of insults, slander."
The terminal imports natural gas from overseas and puts it in pipelines leading to power plants, businesses and homes on both sides of the border. It was completed in 2008, and about half the gas it imports is consumed in Mexico. Because natural gas is worth more in Asia, it now operates at about half its capacity of a billion cubic feet a day.
The plant employs about 100 people, most from Ensenada, Sempra said. Construction created 3,100 jobs.
Baja California and national politicians have been adamant that Sempra, the parent company of San Diego Gas & Electric, has obtained all the permits it needs and complies fully with Mexican law. Sempra said the criticism stems from people who are trying to use the political process to extort money from it.
"We will defend our position against any and all attacks," said Darcel Hulse, chief executive of Sempra LNG, the subsidiary that operates the plant.
Sempra said the incident had its origins in a long-running land dispute, still unresolved, with a Mexican named Ramon Eugenio Sanchez Ritchie, who has sued in Mexico and the United States claiming that Sempra took his land, which it needs for a buffer zone around the plant.
Sempra says it bought the land from the rightful owners and has clear title, and, in any case, the land is located in a buffer zone isn't necessary for it to operate the plant.
Sanchez's dispute has been a battle cry for some of Sempra's fiercest detractors.
The critics found a foothold in Baja California this year, when a PRI state legislator took up their cause. In a written statement referring to a history of outside threats to Baja California's territory, Nancy Sanchez, whose district is across the state in Mexicali, was harshly critical of Sempra and called on Ensenada's administration "to analyze the permits granted by previous administrations," to the Costa Azul facility, and determine responsibility "of those, abusing their authority, who violated the law, put at risk the population and trampled on the rights of citizens."
Around the same time, Sanchez Ritchie went to the Ensenada municipal government with his claims, asking a land-use official to step in.
That's when Pelayo made the controversial move that earned him national notoriety.
Late on a Friday afternoon a week ago, Ensenada municipal police rolled up to the plant from the north — the opposite direction from which you'd expect them to come.

THURSDAY - February 3, 2011
GREENVILLE - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that today STEVEN NEAL GREENOE, pled guilty to exporting firearms from the United States without a licence, in violation of Title 22, United States Code, Section 2778 and traveling in foreign commerce to deal in firearms without a licence, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 924(n).
On February 2, 2011, GREENOE, 37, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was charged by Superseding Indictment.
"I will not tolerate the violation of our gun laws and the victimization of the British people," stated Mr. Holding. "We are working hard to bring justice to this vile criminal conduct. This plea is an important step forward. We will continue to work with our great British allies to prosecute and punish these illegal activities."
According to the Superseding Indictment, GREENOE, obtained pistol purchase permits and a concealed weapons permit, completed the Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record required to purchase firearms, and purchased firearms. After purchasing the firearms, GREENOE took the firearms apart and disguised the firearms as machining engineering samples and inert firearms and concealed them in his checked luggage. As alleged in the Indictment, on nine occasions, from February 22, 2010, to July 25, 2010, GREENOE concealed a total of 63 pistols in his checked luggage and traveled from Raleigh, North Carolina to the United Kingdom.
"ATF seeks to neutralize the illicit movement of firearms domestically and in this case internationally," according to ATF Special Agent in Charge Zebedee T. Graham, "We will continue to utilize our available resources and partnership with other agencies in order to prevent firearms from entering into the hands of criminals."
"Stopping the illegal export of weapons is important to the United States and to the countries those weapons are destined for," said Brock Nicholson, acting special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Atlanta. "By stopping them here, we may be preventing crimes from occurring there."
At sentencing, set for June 14, 2011, GREENOE faces up to 20 years' imprisonment for the charge of exporting the firearms and up to 10 years' imprisonment for the charge of traveling in foreign commerce to deal in firearms.
This was an international investigation into illegal firearms trafficking and firearms smuggling.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant United States Attorney Jane Jackson represented the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

The Jurasssic Park dream of cloning long-dead animals from their genetic remains may have taken a step closer to reality, as scientists claim to have found mammoth blood.
The purported discovery came inside the carcass of a female mammoth, which died 10,000 to 15,000 years ago.
Semyon Grigoryev, the head of the expedition, told The Siberian Times the discovery of blood and muscle tissue was "the most astonishing case in my entire life," and could be a boost to researchers who dream of cloning the animal.

Republicans failed spectacularly in their plan to use the budget and debt ceiling crisis to derail the implementation of Obamacare.
Their grand strategy led to a 16-day government shutdown—which was defused last week by a bargain to reopen the federal government and raise the debt limit through early next year, in return for a largely cosmetic tweak to the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
Now, ironically, the odds of portions of Obamacare getting delayed for a year look better than ever. The Tea Party could have won without their self-defeating protest, simply allowing the glitches to pile up after what appears to be an incompetent launch of the online insurance exchanges this month.
The myriad of obstacles raise questions as to whether the White House will be forced to push back deadlines and even postpone the tax penalty for Americans who forgo health coverage.
"There are so many key technical problems you can't sum them up," said Robert Laszewski, president of Health Policy and Strategy Associates, a policy and marketplace consulting firm. "I mean, it's [Internet] architectural problems at the front end, it's coding problems in terms of the inefficiency in the way the system works and wastes people's time, and it's screens that freeze. And then connections between insurance companies simply aren't working."
The president may look as though he emerged from the budget shutdown stronger, thanks to a profoundly fractured Republican caucus that fell under the sway of Tea Party types, including Ted Cruz. However, that newfound strength in the White House might easily turn out to be a mirage. The mushrooming series of technical problems are validating Tea Party criticisms of Obamacare.
Obama is expected to address the problems Monday as part of a health care event at the White House, according to the Associated Press. Cabinet members and other top administration officials will also be traveling around the country in the coming weeks to encourage sign-ups.
Meanwhile, the technology have tripled, as reported by Reuters. "Why this went from a ceiling of $93.7 million to $292 million is hard to fathom," said Scott Amey, general counsel at the Project on Government Oversight, a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group that analyzes government contracting. "Something changed. It suggests they ran into problems and knew last spring that they couldn't do it for $93.7 million. They just blew through the original ceiling. Where was the contract oversight?"
Only a tiny pool of people has successfully navigated the virtual insurance markets that were created to service all 50 states and the District of Columba. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the law would provide 15 million Americans with insurance this year, but the tech troubles suggest that enrollment could be a fraction of that figure.
Department of Health and Human Services officials and government contractors responsible for the design have been frantically tweaking the system in hopes of overcoming problems that originally were blamed on millions of people trying to log on in the early going – an excuse that even President Obama and congressional Democratic leaders have now dismissed.
Obama last Tuesday said that healthcare.gov had "way more glitches than I think are acceptable."
Those difficulties might be enough to undermine the entire program, unless the administration can swiftly correct them because a substantial mix of healthy young people signing up for insurance are essential to help pay for older and sicker people. In a sense, insurance premiums from healthier individuals subsidize the expenses for the unhealthy, helping to hold down total costs. Without the proper balance, insurance companies could take a financial beating and premiums would continue to spike.

The symptoms and causes of hormone disruption
Ellen hormonal imbalance is a situation that is hidden in the amount of hormones into the bloodstream through different parts of the body is not properly tuned.

i have been wathing this build foe quite awhile now and i am floored buy your attention to detail and your great talent for desighning and the making the things you need to do the build. when you said you damaged it a little in your small work room i felt so bad for you because i have the same problem where i do my work. if i turn to fast i can bang my head on somthing. its getting to the point that i look more like a hoarder than a model guy. but man do i love this station and i will watch it untill it is done.but at the same time i have my own little saying. ( THANK GOD ITS DONE. OR IS IT. )
As of late, I think it's equal parts the room getting smaller, and me getting larger!

That back room is spotless!
I've had a lot of help on this from people who used to work for Clark (I never did), and a few have stressed to me how much time they spent mopping and cleaning. I did dirty the floor behing the furnace and water heater, and places a mop won't reach, it just doesn't show very well. I do have a two bay Texaco I'll get to someday that is going to be more "used" looking. I love weathering, and model structures that look used, but I've seen some that look more like they should be condemned rather than just used.

Tom, I haven't posted in a long while and I'm sure you have forgotten about it. But about the Hvac system. I was only kidding around. It is a work of art. I install these systems for a living. I just went back over your reply to what I had said. I apologize and sorry I offended you.
If I gave the impression I was offended, I'm the one who will apologize. I have very thick skin, and I don't get offended from message boards. On this thread, I don't think anyone has even TRIED to be offensive. I'm very protective of my family, but I'm not going to get bent out of shape over models. After I die (hopefully not BEFORE), all the models I've slaved over all these years will probably be purchased in a yard sale and destroyed by firecrackers.
If there's something that needs said, by all means say it. I think most of the misunderstandings come from the fact we're communicating in writing instead of in person.
In short, no offense taken, and I appreciate all of you taking time from your day to look at my stuff. Hopefully I'll have something to show soon.

I remember the Clark stations in Northern Illinois where I grew up and looking at this is like going back 40 years for me! Like others, I am anxiously awaiting the next installment of this story!

U.S. Government Information
This library is a congressionally designated depository for U.S. Government documents. Public access to the government documents collection is guaranteed by public law. (Title 44 United States Code)
The James E. Brooks Library's Government Publications, Maps, and Microforms (GovPubMM) collection has been an official depository for U.S. government publications since 1962, receiving currently about 34% of the items available. In addition, we have purchased historic sets in microformats and received many government publications as gifts. Legislative resources in our collection date back to 1790.
Superintendent of Documents (SuDocs) call numbers, which arrange materials by government agency rather than subject, are used to organize U.S. government information. Standard indexes for U.S. publications, both online and paper, provide the SuDocs call numbers for materials in our collection.
GovPubMM is located on the 3rd floor. Assistance is available at the GovPubMM Reference Desk in person or by telephone: (509) 963-1541.
Finding Information in U.S. Government Web Sites
- USA.gov is the U.S. Government's indexing site, with a search engine that provides subject access to government agency internet sites and web pages.
- Federal Digital System (FDSys) has been designated as the official database of the U.S. Government. Contents include current legislative, administrative, and legal information that needs to be accessible immediately after release
Kids' Web Sites
- Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids is an educational tool with information about our federal government specifically addressed to primary and secondary age children.
- Kids.gov searches government agency web pages to find information (and educational games) for children.
- Coloring Books published by Federal and state governments in order to learn more about the environment, the judicial system, safety, and nutrition, plus a whole lot more.
- Most Federal government departments and agencies will have a "kid's page" or "education resources" page on their website. So, look for it when you go to a government agency website.
Law & Legislation Web Sites
- LexisNexis Academic contains the full text of U.S. and state laws and court cases. Searches can be performed by keyword or legal citation.
- Congress.gov . contains current legislative information. It is an excellent resource for U.S. bills, committee reports and other information regarding federal legislation.
- The United States Congress is said to be a bicameral body which means that it comprises of two legislative bodies. The U.S. House of Representatives is the lower body and its representation is based on population. Each member of the House represents a certain number of people which is based on the U.S. census. Bigger states get more representatives while smaller states get fewer representatives. However, the absolute minimum a state can have is one representative. The U.S. Senate is the upper body of Congress and each state gets two senators. Each state gets an equal number of senators. If a new state were to emerge, that state would automatically get two senators to represent them.
- The U.S. Supreme Court is the last chance arbiter of the law. They are the ones who have the final say so on how a law is interpreted. They base their decisions on legal precedent and the U.S. Constitution.

Once again, there's a new teaser trailer for the Korean MMOG
Mega Man Rockman Online. And once again, there's me wishing it was a less a teaser for the game and more a trailer for the movie or animated series. Regardless, the teaser trailer is after the fold.
New Mega Man Online Trailer
New Mega Man Online Trailer
Once again, there's a new teaser trailer for the Korean MMOG
Discussion (12)¬
This will be the first MMO with more cutscenes than gameplay!… Or one can dream at least..
Agree. This is just beautiful. I would rather have this be a movie than a game.
Wish they had some gameplay in with that trailer
Hm, does Rockman here look even more childish than in other titles? I know it's not the animated series but I think even the old school type is looking a tad more mature…
That was friggin beautiful! The final scene was so… touching. MegamanX and Megaman, together at last!
That was Megaman Zero too (or just Zero)… And was that Megaman Starforce?
Now we only need Megaman.exe
If you're talking about the repeating shots, no, that was Axl. He's from X7-8.
I feel like a Mega Man geek.. I first see Zero step up and get the chills. :D
I get your feeling, I really wish that these was really a movie. It looks so friggin awesome. And Kyle… ME TOO! Even when I lokked at Axel I felt this little wiggle thing in me.
I really wish that there were an animated movie. It seems every other awesome franchise gets its motion picture. :C
I am hoping that someday we get this game in the US. I've been wanting a Megaman MMO for such a long time now…
Gameplay videos I've seen look pretty nice but they don't really show much besides that fact that it plays similar to how we are used to playing Megaman in side scrolling fashion. Would be a lot more interested in seeing how the MMO aspect comes into play (besides 2+ players going through a level with increased monster/boss difficulty)

In 1995 I got to go backstage at the State Theater in Detroit and talk with some of the guys from KoRn. I wanted autographs so I took this schedule off the back stage wall and got it signed. The autographs are in the lower right. Obviously Head signed it at the bottom but above that it says "Peace & Thanks, Carl" (that's me) and has the modified smiley face thingy. Is that Jonathan's signature? I stuck a KoRn sticker at the top and framed it. I'm just wondering if Head wrote all of that and the symbol is just a symbol for Korn or if Jon signed it too. I really don't remember!

2013 vintage is available for $16.99
Catena Chardonnay 2009
Chardonnay from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
The 2009 Catena Chardonnay combines the unique expressions of two high altitude Catena estate vineyards. The Agrelo vineyard offers honeyed stone fruit flavors with a rich, unctuous mouthfeel, while the Tupungato vineyard lends citrus notes, pear and fig flavors with a strong minerality and a crisp finish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Aromas of buttered popcorn, pear, apple, and baking spices; impeccable balance, precision finish."
Catena Winery
Bodega Catena Zapata is one of Argentina's high altitude Malbec pioneers. The Catena family began making wine in Mendoza in 1902. Nicolas Catena, third generation family vintner, was one of the first to see the potential of Mendoza's mountain vineyards for producing high quality Malbec. In 1994, he became the first Argentine to exprot a world-class bottling of Malbec under the Catena label. Nicolas is joined by his daughter, Dr. Laura Catena, in their relentless pursuit of world-class quality from the family's high altitude vineyards. Laura has done extensive work in introducing Malbec and other varietal plant selections, soil and climate analysis, and sustainable practices throughout Mendoza. Head winemaker, Alejandro Vigil, has been at Catena Zapata since 2002 and works with Laura and Nicolas to make wines that express the family's vineyards and palate. View all Catena Wines
About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Here's the kit I got. Please note that the headlight I was using before the conversion used an H1 bulb meaning it only had one beam, no switchable highbeam. When converting to HIDs you are presented with the dilemma of how to maintain a highbeam as HID lights don't like to be switched on and off repeatedly and can take up to 10-15 seconds to reach full intensity. I just use my driving lights on my crashbars as my highbeam. There are HID kits out there with high beams in them, but from what I've read so far, most of them seem like somewhat sloppy workarounds that aren't really that practical. Then again, who needs a highbeam when your low beam is this bright? If you get them, be sure to get the "slim ballast" as it's MUCH smaller than the regular sized one.
Here's a link to the ebay seller I used:

Totalitarianism and Political Religions Volume III
Concepts for the Comparison Of Dictatorships - Theory & History of Interpretations
Edited by Hans Maier
Translated by Jodi Bruhn
Routledge – 2007 – 428 pages
Routledge – 2007 – 428 pages
Available for the first time in English language translation, the third volume of Totalitarianism and Political Religions completes the set. It provides a comprehensive overview of key theories and theorists of totalitarianism and of political religions, from Hannah Arendt and Raymond Aron to Leo Strauss and Simone Weill. Edited by the eminent Professor Hans Maier, it represents a major study, examining how new models for understanding political history arose from the experience of modern despotic regimes.
Where volumes one and two were concerned with questioning the common elements between twentieth century despotic regimes - Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, Maoism – this volume draws a general balance. It brings together the findings of research undertaken during the decade 1992-2002 with the cooperation of leading philosophers, historians and social scientists for the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Munich.
Following the demise of Italian Fascism (1943-45), German National Socialism (1945) and Soviet Communism (1989-91), a comparative approach to the three regimes is possible. A broad field of interpretation of the entire phenomenon of totalitarian and political religions opens up. This comprehensive study examines a vast topic which affects the political and historical landscape over the whole of the last century. Moreover, dictatorships and their motivations are still present in current affairs, today in the twenty-first century. The three volumes of Totalitarianism and Political Religions are a vital resource for scholars of fascism, Nazism, communism, totalitarianism, comparative politics and political theory.
1. Introduction: On the Interpretation of Totalitarian Rule 2. The Classical Understanding of Tyranny and Despotism 3. The New Approaches 4. On the Concept and Theory of Political Religions 5. Fascism and Non-Democratic Regimes 6. Interpreters of Totalitarianism: A Lexicographical Survey 7. Bibliographic Index
Hans Maier, born in 1931 in Freiburg im Breisgau, is Professor Emeritus in Political Science and the Theory of Religion at the University of Munich. He was the Bavarian Minister of Culture and Science from 1970 to 1986 and President of the Central Committee of German Catholics from 1976 to 1986. Major publications include Revolution und Kirche (1959), in English, Revolution and Church: The Early History of Christian Democracy, 1789-1901 (1969). Also Die ältere deutsch Staats- und Verwaltungslehre (1966), Die christliche Zeitrechnung (1991); Politische Religionen (1995); Welt ohne Christentum - was wäre anders? (1999) and Das Doppelgesicht des Religiösen: Religion – Gewalt – Politik (2004). This is the second volume of the three volume set on Totalitarianism and Political Religions.

Most young children learn best in a playful and informal learning environment. At Sherwood, we create that safe, nurturing environment through a curriculum that emphasizes informal learning and play, and by hiring teachers who are trained in early childhood development and music. All of our early childhood instructors have successfully completed training in the Music Together® curriculum and have prior experience working with young children in arts-based learning.
Music Together® is a music and movement-based approach to early childhood development for children ages birth through four and their parents or other primary caregivers. Using developmentally appropriate musical experiences such as singing, dancing, chanting, listening, observation, and exploring small rhythmic instruments, children will develop basic music competencies, while interacting socially with others in a small group setting.
Music Together classes run on a different schedule than other Sherwood clases. Please refer to the 2014-2015 Academic Calendar for term details.
Parent/caregiver attendance is required in class. For more information on Music Together®, visit www.musictogether.com.

About 20 local schools and businesses serve as drop points for new toys for the Hastings Tribune's annual Goodfellows program, which, traditionally, is launched the day after Thanksgiving.
The collection boxes were delivered Monday.
They will remain at each location until Dec. 16.
"We serve children from birth up to 10 years old and so it's just important to have a variety for each of those age groups to distribute," said Linda Swayze, one of the program's coordinators. "We never know for sure how much we're going to have of each age."
Swayze said that when there's a shortage of toys for either boys or girls or a certain age group, Goodfellows volunteers purchase toys at the last minute to fill those voids using money donated to the Goodfellows program.
Most of the monetary donations go toward the purchase of food that is placed in the Goodfellows boxes along with the toys.
"It's very important for the donations because we serve over 200 families and so grocery-wise the bill can be pretty steep when it comes to what we put in the boxes," Swayze said. "We've been very fortunate over the years because of the generosity of so many people who kindly donate to the program."
The Tribune's Goodfellows program began in 1926 when publisher Adam Breede and editor Harry Smith decided to serve as "good fellows" to less fortunate families.
As Breede and Smith discussed the idea with people around town, more people and businesses got involved. Before long, the Goodfellows program became a community tradition that continues today.
Toys and cash donations are accepted at the Tribune, 908 W. Second St. Checks can be mailed to the Tribune, attention Goodfellows, P.O. Box 788, Hastings NE, 68902.

New Adventures characters!!
Mini-Comic Characters
secondary NA characters
I go with secondary NA characters. I'd die to get the Masks of Power demons. But I don't need the Kex Queen, Garn or minicomic Delora. I much rather have Hoove, Kayo or Kristoll.
"Why's Dragstor riding on Night Stalker?" "Cause he can."
New Adventures characters!!
New Adventures characters for sure out of the two ... but I want everything!
oddly my vote was already casted for the mini-comics versions, but the truth is i'd rather have anything NA related
I really cant answer because it depends on the characters.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
That was a brutal choice for me. While I would really like to see a number of figures from the mini-comics made - Lodar, Garn, Kex Queen, Masks of Power Demons, Prince Dakon (also Red Beast Man please).... there are some truly great secondary characters from New Adventures that I think I would rather have as I think they would look brilliant designed by the 4 Horsemen... Tuskador, Lizorr, Sagitar, Quakke, Staghorn, maybe even Vizar.
Admittedly I'd never lose any sleep over not getting the likes of Nocturna, Spinwit or Butt-Head... but I really want to see classicized versions of the cooler looking characters from NA.
Of course what I really want is ALL of them. I'd love for the line to just keep churning and be able to deliver all of these and more.
Mini comic characters first. They should even be made over the so called A list NA characters....can't think of any.
Check your local WEATHER here & enter zip.
Go Big Red!!!
I don't care for the Mini Comics characters or NA characters....
That being said, I'd prefer the Vintage Vintage characters before anything NA....and that even means Comic characters from the 80's.
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
This question is a little unfair, but its always fun to gauge our fan interests. It's nice to see that the interest falls heavily for both.
I picked "mini-comic characters". I prefer what is happening on Eternia and Etheria and anyone who can contribute to the Filmation era. Rebel Josh, Native Americans Garn and Rana, Prince Dakon, and many others fall into this category. I prefer all the good guys on Eternia and in the Great Rebellion.
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
That was tough! I voted Mini-Comics (moreso for the Mini-comic variants such as Oo-Larr, Blue Vested Adam, Green Trap Jaw, Orange Ram Man, Tri-Klop's mini-comic costume, Alcala blonde Teela, Orange Roboto and others), but I like the NA characters as well.
- - - Updated - - -
The Blonde Teela Thread
The Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn Thread
Sagitar (Jetlag) Horde Wraiths Azdar Belzar Chazdar Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn 200X Teenage Prince Adam 200X Teenage Teela 200X Sorceress General Rattlor (MYP) 200X King Randor and Queen Marlena 200X Battle Armor King Randor and Battle Armor Queen Marlena Ice Armor He-Man WMD Roboto
NA characters I would REALLY want to be in this line that are left: Tuskador, Sagitar, Artilla, Darius, Mara, Master Sebrian, Flogg, Quakke, Lizzor, Skeletor, Crita
NA characters I could live without being made: Kayo, Spinwit, Nocturna, Vizar, Hoove, Butthead, Staghorn
As far as Mini Comic characters go, I would be perfectly fine if no more of those were released.

California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein must really love the senseless, failed war on marijuana. Not only has she come out very publicly in opposition to Proposition 19, which would legalize, tax and regulate cannabis, but she also has taken the bold step of actually becoming the co-chair for the No on Prop 19 campaign. In the incredibly sad but fully expected tradition of those individuals actively fighting against marijuana legalization, instead of making a logical argument against legalization based on facts, Feinstein resorted to spouting pure rhetorical nonsense. From the No on Prop. 19 press release via Chris Good at the Atlantic:
"California will not see a single positive result if Proposition 19 passes," said Senator Feinstein. "It is a poorly constructed initiative that will cause harm to Californians on our roadways, and in our schools, workplaces and communities. I look forward to working with Sheriff Baca to ensure we defeat Proposition 19 in November."
Really Sen. Feinstein? Not a single positive result?
I would like to inform Sen. Feinstein that even the State of California would disagree with this nonsense. The California State Board of Equalization concluded that a similar marijuana legalization law would generate roughly $1.4 billion in direct revenue for the state, which also happens to be experiencing a serious budget shortfall.
I would also like to bring her attention to the Legislative Analyst's Office official analysis of Prop 19. They conclude that in addition to generating hundreds of millions of dollars in much needed tax revenue, Prop. 19 would provide savings:
Reduction in State and Local Correctional Costs. The measure could result in savings to the state and local governments by reducing the number of marijuana offenders incarcerated in state prisons and county jails, as well as the number placed under county probation or state parole supervision. These savings could reach several tens of millions of dollars annually. The county jail savings would be offset to the extent that jail beds no longer needed for marijuana offenders were used for other criminals who are now being released early because of a lack of jail space.
Reduction in Court and Law Enforcement Costs. The measure would result in a reduction in state and local costs for enforcement of marijuana-related offenses and the handling of related criminal cases in the court system. However, it is likely that the state and local governments would redirect their resources to other law enforcement and court activities.
Hundreds of millions in new tax revenue, millions saved on law enforcement, reduced prison overcrowding and prevention of dangerous criminals being released early all sure sound like "positive results" to me.
In addition to this official report, I believe there are strong evidence-based arguments for positive developments such as reducing the profits of the Mexican drug cartels/gangs (the FBI directly told the Senate Drug Caucus, which she co-chairs, that marijuana is the top revenue generator for the Mexican cartels), increasing the number of legal jobs, and improving police response times for serious crimes, etc…
Unlike the dishonest Diane Feinstein, I don't think I need to resort to over-the-top rhetorical nonsense to make the case for my position. I have the intellectual decency to acknowledge there might potentially be some negatives from ending the prohibition against marijuana, but I'm prepared to argue that after weighing both positions, I believe that the net positives for our society would far outweigh the potential negatives. Similarly, the negative consequences of our country's experiment with alcohol prohibition fair outweighed any of the positives that resulted from the 18th amendment.
I sure hope Diane Feinstein isn't actually counting on getting support from young voters in any future elections. As a group, they strongly support Prop 19 and probably will not forget the extraordinary effort Feinstein is making to try to defeat it.

Obama Will Nominate Elena Kagan for Supreme Court
President Obama will nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan as the next Supreme Court justice, according to several news reports.
Kagan, 50, was formerly dean of Harvard Law School, was a law professor at Harvard at the University of Chicago, and served as Associate White House Counsel under President Bill Clinton. The New York Times reports that her lack of judicial experience could help and hurt her confirmation process.
As solicitor general, Ms. Kagan has represented the government before the Supreme Court for the past year, but her own views are to a large extent a matter of supposition.
Perhaps as a result, some on both sides of the ideological aisle are suspicious of her. Liberals dislike her support for strong executive power and her outreach to conservatives while running the law school. Activists on the right have attacked her for briefly barring military recruiters from a campus facility because the ban on openly gay men and lesbians serving in the military violated the school's anti-discrimination policy.
Replacing Justice Stevens with Ms. Kagan presumably would not alter the broad ideological balance on the court, but her relative youth means that she could have an influence on the court for decades to come, underscoring the stakes involved.
Focus on the Family Action's CitizenLink and Family Research Council have written about Kagan's issues related to homosexuality. If Kagan is nominated and confirmed, she would also be the third Jewish justice on the current bench, and there would be no Protestants on the high court.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- March 15, 2001 -- The University of Rhode Islands spring Community Planning and Landscape Architecture lecture series continues on March 22 with a discussion of "Public Art in the Landscape" by noted sculptors Jonathan Bonner of Providence and Mimi Sammis of Narragansett.
Sponsored by the URI Department of Community Planning and Landscape Architecture, the lecture begins at 7:30 p.m. in the White Hall auditorium on the Kingston Campus. It is free and open to the public.
Educated at the Philadelphia College of Art and at the Rhode Island School of Design, Bonner has had more than 40 solo shows and is represented in many public and private collections throughout the United States. He sculpts in various materials including stone, wood, and steel. He is best known for his work that explores the membranous nature of sheet cooper.
Bonner, who is currently working on large-scale sculptures for a Boston park and for Fidelity Managements Cumberland, R. I. headquarters, has numerous public and private site-specific commissions. Locally, his work can be seen at Rhode Island College, the AS220 Building and the David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University. His work also appears at the Newport Art Museum. Examples of his work can be viewed at www, jonathanbonner.com.
Sammis bronze sculptures are said to reflect the "divinity of life." Educated at Yale University and the Rhode Island School of Design, her works are represented in more than 400 public and private collections in America and Europe. She began sculpting angels in 1981 after many years of painting, and a cover story about angels in Time Magazine in 1994 served to spur her quest for peace and its expression in her art.
Agnes Gund, president of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, said "Sammis sculpture embraces a form of peace, the inherent goodness and readiness of love and acceptance in humankind. Mimis art makes us all wish for a continuation of the UNs mission of peace in every nook and cranny of this world."
Sammis 22-foot sculpture "Dance of Peace" is currently on display at the Courthouse Center for the Arts in West Kingston, while her newest touring collection, "One Thousand Years of Peace," was exhibited at the United Nations in New York City and at the Hague Appeal for Peace in the Netherlands.
The third event in the lecture series will be held on Thursday, April 5 and will feature landscape architect Leslie Sauer, principal of Andropogon Associates, a design and planning firm with a national reputation in ecological restoration, speaking on "Sustainable Watershed Management."

If know someone that has received a DUI conviction, there is a strong likelihood that he or she had their driver's license suspended. Every state in the US has imposed mandatory penalties for DUI and a driver's license suspension may be one of the most common penalties.
Typically, a first-time drunk driving conviction will result in a DUI license suspension of between 30 days and a year.
In Kentucky, for example, the administrative license suspension for a first-time DUI offender is 30 days, while the driver's license suspension period for a first-time offense in the state of Pennsylvania is an entire year.
Many states also suspend a driver's license in the event you refuse a breath test during a traffic stop. These suspensions are typically around one year in length.
If you've been charged with drunk driving and want to know your options for protecting your license, speak with a local DUI lawyer. For a free case evaluation with a drunk driving criminal defense attorney near you, simply complete the free form on this page and we'll connect you right away.
There is one DUI law that is sure to be the same from state to state in the U.S., and that is the .08 percent blood alcohol content limit for driving a motor vehicle.
This figure was arrived at over time as scientific evidence for driver impairment became more conclusive, and each state adopted the .08 BAC limit for their communities.
The laws that surround drunk driving do, however, vary from one state to the next, including driver's license suspensions for a DUI conviction. Each state has its own mandatory DUI driver's license suspension lengths, and escalating penalties for new DUI convictions that come within a given time period.
In the Kentucky example mentioned above, a first-time offender can anticipate a 30-day mandatory license suspension, while a third-time offender will face a 2-year driver's license suspension. In the Pennsylvania example mentioned above, the license suspension period is the same, 1 year long, for first, second and third DUI convictions.
You should keep in mind that these penalties may change depending on the circumstances in your case. Often, the length of suspensions listed are minimums, and, depending on your record and the details of your charges, they may be increased.
The length of driver's license suspension varies across states; however, there is a common theme: In most cases, the license suspension is mandatory for a DUI conviction or breath test refusal.
These suspensions are typically carried out independent of the courts. Instead, the department of motor vehicles takes over and implements the suspension. The court will work in conjunction with the other departments to ensure it is carried out. If you are found to violate a suspension, the court may step in again and add additional penalties.
If you have a commercial driver's license then you may face additional suspensions or see it revoked entirely if you are convicted of drunk driving.
But just because you are charged with drunk driving doesn't mean you will lose your license. There are steps you may take to protect your license and defend yourself.
For a free case evaluation with a local DUI lawyer simply complete the free form on this page. We'll connect you right away so you may take steps to keep your license.
Laws may have changed since our last update. This is for informational purposes and is not legal advice. Speak to a local DUI attorney for legal advice about your particular situation.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Tech Qa
1989 Mustang LX Hatchback & 2001 Mustang GT - Late-Model Corral
Miles Cook Answers Your '79-'05 Tech Questions
A GT40 5.0?I recently bought an '88 Mustang GT and I'm having a problem understanding some parts of the VIN. The seller said the car was a "GT40" but I can't find any reference to that in any of my Mustang reference books. The VIN says it's a GT hatchback, but the engine code of "E" doesn't show in any of my reference books. I called a Ford information line and was told a 1988 E-code was, of course, the 5.0 EFI V-8. They also said all records at Ford are purged after 10 years and the 1988 records are gone. Do you have any information on a GT40 kit or engine set, or any information about a 1988 engine code of E?LeRoy Wilcox Via e-mail
Anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know there is no such thing as what you're talking about. It sounds as though the seller hyped something that doesn't exist. The '86-'93 EFI 5.0s were all the same 5.0 engine, as it was the one alternative over a four-cylinder Mustang. Other than running changes like converting to mass-air in 1989 from speed density (1988 for California cars), the change to better cylinder heads in 1987, and some allegedly minor cam-profile changes over the years, an '86-'93 Mustang 5.0 is a Mustang 5.0, period. There were no 5.0 "options" that would make one 5.0 more special than another, and I've never heard of a GT40 package offered by the factory.
The only exception is, of course, the '93 Cobra. It was the only Fox 5.0 Mustang that was a "step beyond" compared to all other EFI 5.0s. Maybe you're confused because its engine came with several upgraded parts, including a set of "GT-40" (cast iron) cylinder heads.
Since the '93 Cobra was made five years after the '88s, I'm fairly sure I'm correct about all other 5.0s. There is a GT-40 package offered by Ford Racing Performance Parts, but that's for aftermarket and not part of a factory offering. We did a story on the GT-40 package in our April 2003 issue.
According to the Mustang Red Book by Peter Sessler, the engine code for '86-'90 5.0s is "M," and the code for '91-'93 5.0s is "E." Assuming your car is indeed an '88, something might be amiss with your VIN if the Sessler book is correct. If it's wrong, the E-code is just that: a code for the 5.0L engine. This might shed some light, but could also raise more questions.
Based on two other sources of information (my '88 5.0 convertible and another book), there's a chance the code information in the Sessler book is a misprint. The VIN on my car clearly shows an "E" as the 8th character in the VIN (see photo), not an "M."
The Mustang 5.0 Technical Reference & Performance Handbook by Al Kirschenbaum has a V-8 engine codes chart, and it jibes with our cars by stating the code for '88-'93 5.0s is "E," and "M" for '85-'87 5.0s. Your car is simply like all the other legions of 5.0s out there with the code E, but there's nothing wrong with that. By the way, according to both books, the engine code for the '93 Cobra is "D," which, of course, indicates its unique engine.
Defroster TechI believe I may have a solution to the problem described by someone awhile back. The HVAC controls on his car were stuck in the defrost position. I have an '85 coupe, an '86 coupe, and an '86 convertible. Two of my cars have had the same problem. The HVAC control in these cars is vacuum-operated, and Ford designed the HVAC control to rest on "defrost" in the event of vacuum loss. So if there's a problem, you still have the most necessary function for inclement weather.
His problem is most likely a vacuum leak before the line reaches the control head. The worst case scenario is what was wrong with my '85: a crack in the back of the control head, requiring replacement.William McGinniMarietta, GA
