Law and Order: Criminal Intent
Bravo 11pm
Mrs. Whitney has Harvey kill her husband so she can become a star and live out her life's ambition. He's got an addiction to star power getting his picture taken with each and every celebrity he can. It was sad, really, to see how he killed her husband and in turn she had his mother killed. Both of them plotted to kill the other's only loved one in the world.
An interesting take on celebrity culture, or rather the people that wish they were a part of that world. But most of them are grandly disillusioned. I'd like to say that I'm not one of them. But perhaps, it's true. I'd rather watch an entertainment news show than face the realities of this world's politics and gory news. Maybe that's a product of my own escapism from real life.
After I sleep I'll post about The 4400 season premiere! YAY!...or rather *tear*

Apparently, some improv people got together and pulled a little prank on the city of
This video clip has floated around the web a bit and it got me to thinking.
The following passage in Matthew 5:13-16 came to mind, "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
If 200 Christians went into the Main Concourse determined to live out their faith for 5 minutes would it make the world stop and wonder? What would it look like? Would people notice the difference between us and others? Would our light shine non-ignorably? Two hundred people in that vast concourse wasn't really too many, but they had a profound impact on the environment and no one could pass through without noticing that something unusual was taking place.
If Christians truly lived out their faith, even as a small minority of the population, it should make those around us stop and wonder. They should see our good deeds and praise God, bring glory to Him.
How often do I hide my faith, blend in with the crowd, go with the flow?
What if I were frozen in time and only God moved in and through me?
In the same way, let your light shine before men,
that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

Jill Dean: Analysis
When I began this project, I knew little about our topic of immigration. We decided to focus on the Arizona and Alabama immigration laws that have recently been passed. I had heard about these laws, but I didn't have an opinion. As I began to research, I noticed that there is very little support for these laws. I began to see that the laws are dehumanizing, and discriminatory. I feel that allowing law enforcement to arrest people who are suspected to be undocumented, is encouraging racial profiling. Alabama's law includes this, as well as requiring schools to keep a record of students who are undocumented. There is an urgent need for immigration reform.
As I perused the internet for editorial cartoons on immigration, I found that every single cartoon framed the immigration laws negatively. Some of them were very disturbing, and eerie. The cartoon on Alabama immigration law, frames the law to be like the Holocaust. The message is powerful. The Nazis used to transport the Jews by train and take them to concentration camps where they were used as slave labor. Millions of innocent men, women, and children were killed. In the cartoon, the man who is in charge of getting people into the boxcar is framed as a Nazi. The cartoon is framed as though the family is being forced into the train by the Nazi character. I have been thinking about that, and every article I read I think of how much it reminds me of the Nazis attempt to eradicate the Jews. I find it very scary that our government can have that kind of power. Another cartoon that I found disturbing is the one with the child crying while his parents are being taken away by ICE. The cartoonist framed this cartoon to show how the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), deports undocumented workers. The child is framed as being upset and crying, as he watches his parents being taken away in the ICE truck. The driver is framed as insensitive or even happy that he's taking them away, as he is whistling in the cartoon. Both of these cartoons are powerful, as they make you feel something. We can all relate to the importance of families.
The message that the cartoonists are conveying is that these immigration laws are not ethical. Children are being left in this country, and their parents are being deported. America needs undocumented workers. They contribute to our economy. They are willing to do the work that Americans don't want to do. We should be treating them with respect, and not making them afraid to go out.
Most of the articles I read still call undocumented workers "illegal immigrants". I feel like they are trying to be respectful for the most part. I didn't read any articles that framed the immigration law positively. The media are cultivating negativity towards the immigration laws. We are encouraged to see this as destructive to our agriculture, as the farmers have no one to work in their field. We are also encouraged to be outraged by the families being destroyed and children left with other people to care for them.
Another cartoon frames the Arizona government as "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". The cowboy is framed as having two personalities: one being someone wanting to hire "docile, reliable, cheap labor", and the other being a sheriff who wants "anyone who looks Latino" dead or alive. The cartoonist framed the Arizona law negatively. The cartoon has a feeling of hypocrisy. The cartoon "Mi casa es su casa", frames the Alabama law negatively. The Alabama law, and the Arizona law, for that matter, states that anyone who is stopped for a traffic violation and is not carrying documents, will be arrested. Undocumented means that the individual does not have the proper documentation to be in the country.
Overall, every cartoon depicts the immigration laws recently passed in Alabama and Arizona in a negative light. These laws seem to be insensitive and dehumanizing. Also, these laws encourage racial profiling and discrimination. There must be a better, more humane way to enforce immigration laws.
In this clip, Stephen Colbert interviews Jason Chaffetz. When Representative Chaffetz discusses immigration, he says that we need to put undocumented workers in "detention facilities to take care of these people and make sure they're actually deported as required by law." Colbert then asks, "When did rounding up people in your country that you don't like and putting them in camps, get a bad name?" This is a reference to the Holocaust. Click Here
Allison Suckow: Analysis
I honestly didn't know hardly anything about immigration before this project. I knew that I worked with several undocumented workers during high school at various different times, but other than that, I had no idea about this matter.
Almost everything I've learned about this subject either depresses me and pisses me off. I think it is terribly sad that our country is okay with visual profiling people. To me, that is so ridiculous. Perhaps Arizona is sick of getting undocumented workers as their employees and perhaps from their point of view, their immigration laws make sense. But from everyone else's point of view who holds any value to the Constitution of the United State, they look racist, harsh, intolerable, and even maybe inhumane. I think this whole visual profiling thing is going to be a huge waste of time for law enforcement, as I'm sure they have bigger issues to worry about. They are going to be picking up tons of American citizens who are going to be accused to being illegally in the United States because they merely look a certain way. Because of this, I think it will upset a lot of people and there will be lawsuits filed and this law will be overturned.
To be honest, I see a lot more similarities in this situation to the ways that the Jews were treated in the 1930's through the end of World War II. Granted, we don't do things like burn down churches or throw bricks threw their shops or place them in torturous camps. However, we are being discriminative nonetheless. It seems as though America always needs someone to be picking on. If not the Irish, then the Blacks. If not the Blacks, the Gays. If not them, Hispanics. Who's going to be next? It just makes me wonder how much longer we will tolerate this ridiculous discrimination. Does the country not realize we have way bigger problems than undocumented workers?
Kyndall Peterson: Analysis
When we first started this project I didn't know much about immigration, or the laws that were in effect regulating it. I was excited and interested to see what I would find. My opinion before I started my research was that undocumented workers (what I then called, "illegal's") were all bad people, who had no respect for our country and were here to steal the freedom our soldiers fought for, and to take jobs away from worthy Americans. After my research, my opinion and views have taken a complete 180.
At first, I thought everyone had the same opinion as I did, however going through and analyzing the cartoons, I have learned that cartoonist take a very harsh view on our immigration laws, and its not in our country's favor. The majority of the cartoonists' frame their cartoons in a way that makes a mockery of the state laws, and make them look extremely inhumane. I didn't see one cartoon supporting the Arizona or Alabama immigration laws; to me this says that the laws are not highly supported. The law is often depicted as a comparison to the holocaust. For example the Arizona policemen are usually drawn as Nazis' who are racially profiling everyone who is not white. The Arizona law says that if policemen have a reasonable suspicion that someone is an undocumented worker, they can request to see their papers. If the citizen doesn't have their papers with them, they are allowed to arrest them. This law has its pros and cons. On one hand, it is a fast, efficient way to get people who are here illegally, out of the country; on the other hand, it is an extreme example of racial profiling. Alabama is just the same. Cartoonists, to my surprise, are favoring the undocumented workers in their cartoons. Many cartoonists frame these laws so negatively and exaggerate the processes and repercussions of the laws so they can capture the attention of the general population and make a point about what is going on. The fact that almost all the cartoons are in the immigrants favor is cultivation. There are so many examples of how terrible the laws are it is going to have a lasting effect on people. The cartoonists may use a lot of "truthiness" but I think that's what it takes to really get people thinking. For example, schools aren't really segregating Latinos and whites, but the cartoonist is making a point that the laws encourage racial profiling and discrimination.
I also learned that not all undocumented workers are bad people. Most of them would be willing to become legal, and try harder to assimilate, but our country has made it next to impossible. After researching the extensive processes an immigrant has to go through to become a legal U.S. Citizen, I realized why people come here illegally. I think they should make it easier for people who are willing to become active participants in our economy and our culture. I see immigration like gun control. If the government makes the possession of guns illegal, only criminals and people who have no respect for the law will have them. Likewise with immigration, if you make it almost impossible, only people who don't respect the law will come here. They often turn to violence to protect themselves which makes them look bad, and creates a stereotype. Also, in Alabama, they will be afraid to go to school, and in turn not contribute to our economy. We are missing out on a huge demographic that could be beneficial to our country's economy. Obama spoke about this very issue in his speech in El Paso, Texas. He made the point that the founders of Google, Intel, and Yahoo were all immigrants and look what they did for our competitive edge from the global perspective.
Lastly, I have found a greater appreciation for editorial cartoons. I believe they play a very important role in our society. Editorial cartoons are used to depict an extreme opinion of a certain topic. Cartoonists do this to intrigue people, by getting their attention. Some cartoons offend people, and some validate others opinions; either way, the cartoons instills thought and interest in the matter.
Ryan Neely: Analysis
I have always found editorial cartoons to be entertaining and somewhat informative, as I would take a quick glance at them reading the newspaper early in the morning. But never before did I realize how informative they could be. There is always a deeper meaning to many of the cartoons, which can leave a powerful image and statement in your mind. Before you are able to fully get an understanding of the cartoon itself, you must know or be familiar with the issue. After doing the research on many political cartoons dealing with the topic of immigration in America my mind has been opened to many different ideas and opinions that have helped me gain a greater understanding about the issue.
When going into this project I thought I knew a little bit about the topic, but I quickly learned that I didn't know anything at all. I believe this was to my benefit because it was easier for me to learn why cartoonists framed the topic in specific ways. Almost all of the cartoons I have analyzed frame the laws in Alabama and Arizona in a negative way. In more than one cartoon the police officers in these states and their laws were portrayed as almost being discriminatory against immigrants, helping us see how they are able to confront immigrants seeking proof of citizenship with no evidence other than reasonable suspicion.
Since these laws have been passed many undocumented workers have left their labor in fear of being prosecuted. Employers are now empty handed looking for people to hire only to find that most are unwilling to do the intense labor these undocumented workers have been performing. Cartoonist have done a great job as they have expressed their opinion and brought the issue into view in ways that help the viewers to understand the issue with just one powerful image.
Danielle Cox: Analysis
While analyzing all the cartoons, the most interesting information I found is that very few editorial cartoonists agreed with the laws passed by Arizona and Alabama; they mostly criticize the laws. The overall message of all the cartoons I analyzed are framed negatively. Most editorial cartoons on immigration show the Hispanic race as the ones "out in the field working" while the Caucasian people are usually portrayed as pompous and elite. There are many derogatory terms that our culture uses to describe Hispanic people. Many of these words are from the code words of hate such as: swarming, invaded, illegal aliens. These terms are dehumanizing and refer more to an object than a person. While researching undocumented workers and the Arizona and Alabama laws, I came across a theme of negative framing. That is, editorial cartoonists, framing these laws in a negative light and exposing the inhumane way the immigration issue is being dealt with. Over and over again, I saw editorial cartoons taking a position against the new state laws. It was a challenge to find any editorial cartoons that were for the new laws, most of them ridiculed them. Because of the consistent negative framing of the immigration laws, it is piped into the media and begins being cultivated into the media, as does anything with enough repetition. As far as looking at "truth v. truthiness" most editorial cartoonists use truth when conveying their message, they attack, in a sense, these laws that create such a hardship for Immigrants.

But relief was short-lived, Jean S. Kutner, M.D., of the University of Colorado, and colleagues reported in the Sept. 16 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The single-blind study that compared massage therapy with simple-touch therapy included 380 adults with advanced cancer (stages III or IV), 90% in hospice care, with moderate-to-severe pain. The patients were enrolled from November 2003 through October 2006.
Massage therapy, provided by licensed therapists, consisted of six 30-minute sessions over two weeks with at least 24 hours between treatment sessions.
The intervention included gentle, smooth, gliding strokes (effleurage), squeezing, rolling, and kneading of muscles (petrissage), and trigger-point release using finger pressure at painful areas to break cycles of spasm and pain.
Simple-touch therapy, given to the control group, consisted of placement of both hands on the patient for three minutes at each of a variety of locations. Pressure was light and consistent, with no side-to-side hand movement. Providers had no past body or energy work experience. Sessions lasted for 30 minutes over two weeks.
Primary outcomes were immediate change in pain (as measured by the Memorial Pain Assessment Card) and sustained change, measured using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).
Secondary outcomes were immediate change in mood, 60-second heart and respiratory rates and sustained change in quality of life, symptom distress, and analgesic medication use.
The researchers recorded the name, dose, and frequency of medications taken during the preceding 24 hours every week to document analgesic medication use. To permit comparisons, medication doses were converted to parenteral morphine equivalents (mg/d).
The immediate outcome analysis included 298 patients; 348 participated in the immediate and sustained outcome analysis.
For a variety of reasons, such as death or withdrawal from the study, 82 persons did not receive any allocated study treatments (37 massage patients, 45 controls participants).
Both groups demonstrated immediate improvement in pain. The massage group saw a decline of 1.87 points (95% CI -2.07 to -1.67 points) and controls had a drop of 0.97 points (95% CI -1.18 to -0.76 points).
Mood also improved in both groups, with those in the massage group gaining 1.58 points (95% CI 1.40 to 1.76 points) and controls 0.97 point (95% CI 0.78 to 1.16 points).
Massage was clinically superior for both immediate pain relief and improving mood (mean difference, 0.90 and 0.61 points, respectively; P< 0.001).
However both groups demonstrated statistically, but not clinically, significant improvement in pain relief over three weeks, the researchers reported.
Mean differences over time for sustained pain relief were:
- mean pain, 0.07 point(95% CI -0.23 to 0.37 points
- worst pain, -0.14 point (95% CI -0.59 to 0.31 points)
- quality of life, 0.08 point (95% CI -0.37 to 0.53 points)
- symptom distress, -0.002 point (95% CI -0.12 to 0.12 points)
- or analgesic medication use, -0.10 mg/d (95% CI -0.25 to 0.05 mg/d)
There were no statistically significant differences in adverse events or deaths.
Study limitations noted by the researchers included the fact that the immediate outcome measures were obtained by unblinded study therapists, possibly leading to reporting bias and an overestimation of a beneficial effect. Also, patients self-reported most measures.
The generalizability to all patients with advanced cancer is uncertain. The study patients were English-speaking adults with an estimated life expectancy of three weeks or longer who could participate.
Furthermore, the researchers noted, the differential beneficial effect of massage therapy over simple touch was not conclusive without a usual-care control group.

Study reveals that 55% of public companies currently on Twitter are using it for Investor Relations
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 26, 2009) -
Editors Note: There are two photos associated with this Press Release.
According to a new report by Q4 Web Systems (Q4), a leading provider of software for corporate and investor relations websites, Twitter is being used by public companies to supplement traditional channels of disclosure and to engage in conversations with their stakeholders. The research indicates that 55% of the public companies analyzed are using it for Investor Relations. The complete report is available to download here.
"The point in providing this research is to help the investor relations market understand how their peers are using social media channels like Twitter for investor relations" said Darrell Heaps, Co-Founder and CEO of Q4 Web Systems. "We are also using this research to identify and share best practices with all companies and vendors in the IR space so we can help our market evolve and learn how to succeed in the ever changing world of the web and social media. "
The findings from the report show the initial adoption has come from the technology sector and is now moving into pharmaceuticals, natural resources and a number of others. The use of Twitter by these companies is primarily for sharing previously disclosed information such as news and upcoming events. However, 48% of these companies have evolved from a straight broadcasting approach to engagement - meaning they are posting regular updates to news and events on their site, but also interacting with people, answering questions and providing additional information.
Of the 80 companies reviewed in the report:
- 55% are using Twitter for investor relations.
- 68% provided a link to their Q2 quarterly earnings release.
- 48% are using Twitter to engage with their audience.
- Technology and pharmaceuticals/healthcare sectors accounted for 34% and 14% respectively.
"With more than 2/3rds of the online population now using social networks and blogs on a regular basis, social media is defining the online experience. This report illustrates how the early adopters in the investor relations space are embracing this new channel, expanding their communications and strengthening relationships with their market. We look forward to updating the investment community later in the year with another report that will track growth rates of adoption" added Mr. Heaps.

Cathy and I have several sets of hanging chimes outside our house, most in the back. We have some of the very cheap "tinkle-tinkle-ding-dong" kind, some that are works of art tuned to various kinds of music scales, and some that are the large kind that remind you of church bells in ancient cathedrals. We have been collecting them for some time, and a few of them are gifts from friends. We love the way they sound.
Last night (Thursday, April 11 - Friday April 12) I could not sleep so I went into the study to read. In the early morning hours a large storm came through, and the wind blew tremendously. I sat in my study and listened to the chimes ringing.
I could hear all of them, sounding in the night. (I hope they do not bother my good neighbors- they have not yet complained!) It occurred to me that I do not often hear those large "church bell" chimes. It takes a lot of wind to make the clapper hit the tubes. Sometimes I relax by lying in the hammock and when a gentle breeze blows, I hear the cheaper lighter "tinkle" chimes. When the wind blows more, I hear the heavier ones. And during the storm I hear the heaviest of all.
I think our faith is like that. We are all a combination of the various kinds of chimes. When things are going well, people hear us "tinkle" about how good God is. When harder winds blow, people hear the more tuneful parts of our faith ("Yes, things are hard, but God is with us"). And when the storms are raging in our life, they hear from us the deep, resounding sounds of faith ("Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him"- Job 13:15).
Into everyone's life storms will come and winds will blow. And we are God's chimes for others to hear in the midst of storms. It important that we are anchored. All our chimes are securely anchored to the carport, to trellises, to trees. The wind is not going to detach them. Blow though it might, all it will do is make them make more noise, more music.
And when we are anchored to Christ, securely anchored there, the storms will come, but they just cause us to sound out beautiful music. Even in the night.

EU Reforms Enter into Force
In Depth
The Lisbon Treaty, which reforms the way the European Union works, entered into force on 1 December 2009. The Lisbon Treaty introduces a number of changes - some major and some cosmetic. Here is a very brief outline of the major changes that may be of particular interest:
1. European Union
The Lisbon Treaty establishes the European Union as a legal entity and there is no longer a distinction between acts of the European Union and those of the European Communities. From now on there is just the European Union.
However, the original treaties remain in force and have only been amended (not replaced). The Treaty establishing the European Communities has now been renamed the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Union is now the Treaty on European Union (TEU).
2. Competition Law / Antitrust
There is no change to the substance of the competition law provisions in the Treaty. Articles 81 and 82 EC have been renumbered and are now Articles 101 and 102 TFEU.
A new European Commissioner for Competition has been nominated. It is Joaquín Almunia of Spain who was the former European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs.
The former Commissioner for Competition Neelie Kroes remains with the European Commission and takes on a portfolio dealing with digital technology. It is expected that she will deal with the controversial subject of reform of the intellectual property rules in particular copyright on the internet.
3. European Court
There are a number of changes to the European Court of Justice. The Court of First Instance has been renamed the "General Court". There is no change in its competence but applications will have to be addressed to the "General Court of the European Union".
The standard for bringing a challenge before the European Court against an EU legislative act has been amended. The Treaty appears to relax the requirement that an applicant establish "direct and individual concern" (a notoriously hard condition) when challenging regulatory acts.
4. New Competences
There are new competences in the following economic areas: energy, climate change, sport and intellectual property rights (amongst others).
5. Institutional Changes
In terms of institutional changes, there is now a permanent President of the European Council who represents the EU Member States and will chair the meetings of the heads of EU governments. In addition, the Lisbon Treaty creates a "high representative" for foreign affairs who will chair the meetings of the national ministers for foreign affairs and sit as a Vice-President in the European Commission.
The Belgian Prime Minister Herman van Rompuy became the first President of the European Council. Baroness Ashton (of the United Kingdom) was nominated as the High Representative.

Re: Book: Dscndts. of James & Agnes W. Adams
In reply to:
Book: Dscndts. of James & Agnes W. Adams
I do not have the book on the descendants of James and Agnes. What I do have is Adams info from a book published by the Historic Genealogical Society of Marion County AR. I know the people who put this together relied heavily on the the 1978 book. However they don't actually site sources.
Here is what I have. James Adams (son of James and Agnes) married Phoebe Davis. They had eleven children including George. My info states George Adams born Christian County KY 17 May 1807 died AR 28 Oct 1854 and is buried Adams cemetery. Married in Ky 5 Aug 1830 to Mariah Louisa Lynn. Marian was the daughter of Pitts and Mary Catherine "Mauldin" Lynn who was born Logan County KY 15 Sep 1815. She died Greasy Creek 23 Jan 1883 and is buried n the Adams cemetery. Children listed are Lynn born 1831, Maria (probably a typo and should be Mariah)Louisa born 1833 and married Samuel Lee 25 Dec 1858, Thena Catherine, Isaac Davis, Hannah Elizabeth, Arvilla Angelina, Phoebe, James Weber, George, Mary, Thomas.
I hope this helps clear things up for you.
There is more info but too much to type in. Can snail mail a couple of pages if you want birth dates on everyone, ect.

|Armor Points Distribution
The Thanatos is a large, powerful, Inner Sphere Heavy Mech. With its heavy armor, wide array of Weapons, and high speed and maneuverability for an IS heavy Mech, the Thanatos is a formidable Mech marred by its bulky, wide chassis and occasional Heat problems. All variants of the Thanatos come with varied pieces of Equipment, making it a very adaptable Mech capable of excelling in nearly any combat situation. Particularly, three variants of Thanatos come with GECM, making them excellent options if avoiding radar detection is of utmost importance. However, it is important to note that the Thanatos has a very large and very noticeable profile; it's relatively tall and extremely wide, making it easy to spot from a distance, as well as somewhat limiting the types of cover it can effectively utilize.
Roles and Gameplay Hints
The Thanatos Prime packs an Energy Weapon-heavy loadout consisting of an ERLBL, 2 ERMBLs, and a single MPL. This diverse array of Lasers lends the Prime variant decent damage capabilities at nearly any range, and when supplemented by its MRM30, the Thanatos Prime can put alot of hurt on a target very quickly. GECM and C3 allows it to stay relatively concealed while sharing its radar information with allies, while Standard Jump Jets afford it additional maneuverability and poptarting capabilities. The Prime variant has excellent combat longevity due to both its large Energy Weapon arsenal, as well as the free ton for MRM30 reloads; however, with only 6 DHS, it suffers a bit when it comes to heat management. Also, due to the MRM30s long reload time and relatively challenging use, the Prime typically deals less damage over time compared to the other variants so Mechwarriors should be wary of not trying to bite off more than one can chew.
Variant A
The A variant is a fearsome mid-range fighter, stripping Heat Sinks and weaponry in order to cram in a mighty HGauss. Supplemented by 4 ERMBLs, the Thanatos A is an excellent Mech in finishing-off the heavily damaged opponents. Added LAMS and GECM systems also afford it decent survivability. Standard Jump Jets can make it a devastating ambusher when used with Passive Radar. Although note the LAMS will break stealth on any enemy rockets passing by. Heat can be a bit of a concern, as the Thanatos A mounts only 2 extra Dual Heat Sinks, and though carrying 2 Free Tons, ammo can be a serious concern as this only affords a total of 12 HGauss rounds. The greatest weakness of this variant is it's greatest strength - The Heavy Gauss mounted on its arm is a very easy target with little armor, leaving it the first thing aware pilots shoot at. After taking down the primary gun, this variant remains relatively harmless.
Variant B
The Inner Sphere's only part time Arrow boat, the Thanatos B sports a single ArrowIV launcher, backed by a trio of LBX2 and an ERPPC. The Arrow launcher, with all of its quirks, forces the asset's operation to revolve around it. This mean you will need a forward observer to direct your artillery fire, or a vantage point that affords you to crouch in order to get a manual lock. An iNARC launcher allows the variant to attach targeting beacons to targets 800m out. The backup weapons are not too formidable damage-wise, but allow it provide decent direct fire support up to 1200m away with its autocannons and out to 900m with its ERPPC. Care must be taken not to disable friendly NARC beacons, although in theory it could deal with an approaching enemy unit while still pelting the designated target with artillery. In practice, its 2 DHS mean significant heat issues, especially when taking its Jump Jets into account, which are better off being used by themselves while getting into position or escaping, rather than for jumpsniping purposes.
Variant C
The "Bully"'s twin brother, separated at birth, sporting blistering close range firepower. The Thanatos C caries the AC20, a most formidable ballistic weapon by itself, accompanied by an trio of LPPCs and a quite pondering DSSRM4. Only three DHS, while able to keep the autocannon and missile launcher in check, will choke on every particle-cannon's trio volley. Save for the most dire moments, it is strongly advised to fire the later in succession rather than at once. The odd one of the three tons left for ammo should be used for either the missiles or the auto cannon spares, depending whether the pilot wants to strain its foes by most DPS or by the assault class ballistic weapon.
The top selling points of this variant is the continual screen shake delivery to the enemy, strong power of night vision denial and near permanent EMP output capacity out to 450m.
Variant D
Nicknamed "The Bully", the Thanatos D will jump you at your weakest moment and turn you into slag while laughing off your attempts to retaliate. Equipped with an LBX20 on one arm, a DSRM6 on the other and a trio of MPL on its torsos, the Thanatos D can make use of a tighter window of engagement despite sacrificing some dps compared to the C thanks to swapping autocannon models. 3 DHS mean heat is harder to manage and the laser array will often have to go unused. The remaining tonnage is enough for a GECM, allowing the Bully to keep an eye on its victims while staying hidden, while 3 free tons can keep its weapons fed for a good while, without completely relieving it of ammo woes.
Variant E
This one is as "poptart" as one gets. The two spare SRM2 launchers are there to threaten enemy's aim rather than its welfare. To maximize this effect the pilot is advised to fire them in succession of the other weapons instead of at once. Utilizing this break for the other two weapon groups, the cool LB 5-X trio and the ERPPC, are best used interchangeably as they become ready to fire. It goes without saying that this deadly ballet is rather a game of tough nerves than one of who shoots the fastest. Especially with the ever hot ERPPC on the table. The two main weapon groups both converge on 900 meters making thus the range from 350m to 900m its sweet spot or a kill zone for slower targets. Cutting no slack for flyers or fast movers, the LB 5-X trio's pellets move notably faster than a ppc bolt, meaning less target leading is required. The LBX also receives a bonus against flying targets. The weary pilot is advised to remember; firing both weapon types and simultaneously using its Standard Jump Jets ends up heavily taxing the two DHS. All in all, the E is a formidable, far reaching mech, ideal for a seasoned pilot who keeps an eye on his heat when the push comes to shove.
Variant F
The cheapest Thanatos variant due to a complete lack of supporting equipment and plain weaponry, the Thanatos F is by no means weak. Its weaponry consists of an LRM20 launcher for long range indirect fire support, an LBX10 for anything medium range or closer, and an array of beam lasers covering every size and range, from a single LBL, to a pair of MBL and 4 ERSBL. The Thanatos F is a versatile mech capable of engagements at every range, but a very tight sweet spot where all guns can fire, existing between the 400m reach of the small lasers and its missile launcher's minimum range. 3 DHS struggle with the bursts of heat generated by the laser array and missile launcher, while its free ton usually carries an extra nine shots of LRMs. Despite being able to rely on energy weapons, the asset will find itself making ammo runs often if it wants to sustain its peak damage potential.
Variant G
G is for Gauss here - the spare ton, the jump jets, and the enhanced optics all aid to exploit the best of the 31st century's ballistic weapons: the all mighty Gauss. Low heat, fast projectiles, low recoil - you name it - it has got it. The ERLBL pair compliments the arsenal even for even the fastest of targets up to 800 meters, because the mighty Gauss can fire only every so often. The direct fire arsenal is further complimented by an not as powerful, but somewhat better ranged, as well as faster paced LRM10 launcher. However the usual two DHS, even if kept functional at all times, will struggle heavily to keep it running cool.
The selling point of this Variant may be how well all its weapon systems fare against aerial targets.
The Thanatos was designed as the first OmniMech of StarCorps Industries to be sold for Lyran Alliance or Armed Forces of the Federated Suns, though neither of them was interested in a new Omni design by the time prototype was ready. Because of large investment in R&D the chassis could not be abandoned easily, so the company management decided to transform it into a regular BattleMech. And so in 3061 a Mech made to duplicate Thor capabilities hit the market.
The Thanatos, with maximum speed of 86 km/h and a jump range of 150m, is very maneuverable for a heavy BattleMech, making it a superb cavalry unit. Base weaponry includes an MRM20 launcher with 2 tons of spare ammunition, an Extended Range Large Laser, 2 Extended Range Medium Lasers, a single Medium Pulse Laser and an impressive set of electronics including an ECM Suite, a C3 slave and Jump Jets. 13 tons of armor gave this Mech respective defense.

i have the guide ill look... i just dont post routes i havent done... Apr 9, 2009
Just looked in my book and there are 2 5.12s and a few 5.11+s on the right side of the cliff remember the grade standards at rimmon when you think about the 5.11+ grade... probably a solid 5.12 by modern standards... so you are both right :) Apr 9, 2009

6 Things-Rating Pictures, Lent Pretzels, and Cinnamon Rolls
1. Rating pictures- Ok, not exactly a joy because I have almost 80,000 pictures to rate. On the other hand, I am going through every picture I have taken since 2006, and it is sweet to see some of the gems and moments that never quite make the wittle down. Things like awful, blurry pictures of people who would become friends, before I really felt comfortable to photograph them. Or pictures of 21st birthdays that I never posted for the protection of the birthday boy, but make me laugh a whole bunch now. Or trips to mini-golf with my brother I practically forgot. Right now, I am in fall of 2007, which is the birth of my nephew Petey, which is one of those moments where I swear to God magic entered the world. It is so amazing to look at this tiny frog-legged airborne fetus and know that there is a crazy awesome and hilarious soul just waiting inside. That's why I take so many pictures. Because you have to treat life like it means something, because it does. The Windows Live Photo Gallery makes it go about as fast as it could go, but that is still pretty slow.
2. Destroying the "To Do" list- We have started a To Do list to try to keep up with all of those little tasks that creep up and you say "oh, we should do that" but you don't do until something breaks or another disaster catalyst occurs. We did like 15 of the things on that list yesterday, and I have never felt so productive in my life. No tiny apartment has ever been as well-organized as ours.
|from www.catholiceducation.org/articles/religion/re0535.html
4. That the class I lectured to is now planning on having their final performances/installation art/ happenings in a Uhaul- I really want to go to this! I just think it is a fun and clever idea, and it was nice to hear that they were inspired by the lecture.
5. Cinnamon rolls- Or, if you live in our house this week, Leia Buns. It is pretty much the only thing I feel totally comfortable doing them without a recipe (though I get a few panicked calls to my mom in). They turned out great, and I hope the Boy takes them to work tomorrow so I do not eat them all. We sit here now and debate how shameful it would be to have a third one today.
6. Bastardized sushi on President's Day- Ok, it wasn't too bad, because we gave up fried food so no tempura (or completely fried rolls? Has anyone seen such a thing?), but there is nothing more American, I think, than trying out a new sushi place and realizing it is actually hard to just get yellowtail sashimi. They had 4 different california rolls, named after 4 different regions. They also had an Alaskan roll, and an Oregon roll, which was a combo of crab and salmon. There is something simultaneously sad and charming about a place that has integrated American taste into their food, because it happens in every country, but it always serves that country's tastes. Plus, the sushi was good, and I would like to think my favorite president, William Henry Harrison, would have really appreciated that.

Hi there,
I bought some beautifully sweet crab shelled crab at Molly Stones for $34. lb. I weighed the time I would have spent shelling the crab vs the immediacy of making crab cakes and decided that it was well worth the cost. I love making these crab cakes and want to share the recipe and other nutrition information with you.
San Francisco Gluten Free Crab Cakes
Dungeness Crab Season is upon us and the bounty is rolling in!
2011/2012 Dungeness Crab Season has been rated the best in years. Local Crabs are filled with large chunks of flavorful sweet meat. In 2010 over 19 million pound was pulled in from the Sea and the 2011/2012 season is expected to have the same tonage.
Crab meat is low in saturated fat, and contains the mineral chromium which helps to increase the level of HDL, the good cholesterol in the body. As we all know, higher levels of good cholesteral helps reduce the risk for strokes and heart disease. In fact, Dungeness Crabs contain sterol, which restricts the absorption of total cholesterol eaten during a meal. Crab is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids which reduce the number of sticky blood platelets, giving elasticity to the blood and creating smooth blood flow in tiny arteries.
My holiday tradition is fresh crab, ripe brie cheese, and a very nice Napa Valley, California Reserve Brut champagne. Crab cakes are in are a second favorite and the following recipe comes straight out of my personal cookbook. I hope you enjoy the opportunity to try west coast Dungeness Crab. If not canned products can be used with great success.
1/2 lb fresh Dungeness Crab or 2 six ounce cans
1 Shallot minced
1 Teaspoon Whorsteshire Sauce
1 Teaspoon Mustard
3/4 cup Bread Crumbs of your choice, a fresh gluten free bread pureed into flakes is recommended
3 Eggs
1 T Butter
4 T Olive Oil - add more if needed
Salt and Pepper to taste
Mince Shallot and saute in Butter
Beat 3 Eggs, add Crab, Mustard, Whorsteshire, Salt and Pepper, Bread Crumbs and cooled shallots.
Stir gentle and form into palm-size rounds
Heat Olive Oil in a shallow pan
Add crab cakes to the oil, cook until brown but be careful not to over cook

CMS, ONC to Hold Listening Session on Billing and Coding The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office for the National Coordinator of Health IT (ONC) will host a listening session on May 3 to discuss the increase in code levels billed for some Medicare services, and appropriate coding in an increasingly electronic environment. Stemming from a pair of high-profile New York Times and Washington Post articles and a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder to five hospital associations, HHS is addressing accusations of fraud via EHRs aggressively. This session will be important for health IT leaders to understand how government regulators are viewing the issues of upcoding and cloning. Regulations and / or guidance in the near future are likely.
According to CMS and ONC, topics will include key issues such as the impact of EHRs on high quality clinical care, provider efficiency, and coding, as well as coding challenges and opportunities facing various groups, including hospitals, clinicians, and other stakeholders. More information and to register for the event, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time at the CMS campus in Baltimore can be found here. Webinar and conference call options are presented during registration.
Pioneer ACOs, CMS move closer to agreement on quality measure benchmarks For the better part of two months, Pioneer ACOs [Accountable Care Organizations] and CMS have been at odds over proposed quality benchmarks. At issue is how the vanguard ACOs will be assessed using quality measures – either based on flat percent benchmarks or benchmarks based on previous ACO performance data. The methodological approach that Pioneers and CMS develop will be important as larger swaths of providers move into a shared savings or risk-based reimbursement model. In a letter signed by nearly all of the 32 Pioneer ACOs participating in the CMMI pilot, the group "strongly recommend" that CMS give the ACOs another year to be paid just for reporting on the program's 33 quality measures, not against benchmarks. The group argued more data was needed to inform proposed quality measure benchmarks for performance year 2013. This week, CMMI Director Richard Gilfillan responded by holding to the commitment that Pioneer ACOs would be paid for performance on schedule this year. He contends the agency has enough data to move away from report-only status, based on quality data submitted by more than 200 ACOs, including those in the Medicare Shared Savings Program. He continued that, but that CMS will put out proposals "in the near future" about how it intends to use the reported data to calculate the benchmarks. "We are not going to delay holding ACOs accountable for these quality measures," CMS spokesman Alper Ozinal said in a statement, "but we will speed up the collection and application of data to these important quality metrics to ensure that they are as accurate as possible."
Decertified: ONC Rescinds EHR Certification Ambulatory and inpatient EHR developer EHRMagic Inc. of Santa Fe Springs, Calif., has lost its certified status, according to an HHS news release. ONC received a tip that EHRMagic-Ambulatory and EHRMagic-Inpatient products were not meeting the required functionality and after an investigation ONC ACB InfoGard Laboratories determined the EHR was not meeting select requirements. According to ONC spokesperson Peter Ashkenaz no provider has attested to using the system for EHR Incentive Payments, though he did not comment on what a provider should do in the event that their system ends up being retroactively decertified. "We and our certification bodies take complaints and our follow-up seriously. By revoking the certification of these EHR products, we are making sure that certified electronic health record products meet the requirements to protect patients and providers," ONC head, Farzad Mostashari, M.D., said. Here's more from ONC on their Health IT Buzz Blog.
Harkin Halts Tavenner Confirmation In a move that caught nearly everyone off guard, Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) put a hold on Marilyn Tavenner's confirmation as the next Administrator of CMS. According to statements made by Sen. Harkin, he's upset about the Obama administration's decision to take money from a preventive health fund created in the ACA and use it for exchange education and enrollment efforts. "They shouldn't be taking the money out of the prevention fund for setting up the exchanges. There are other places they can go for the money. That's what we're going to talk about, I want to see what they're willing to do," Sen. Harkin said in a conference call with Iowa reporters. The Prevention and Public Health Fund has an appropriation of $15 billion through the ACA, but has been cut by $6 billion to help keep doctor payments stable and CMS is looking to take another $454 million to help build the federal health insurance exchange. Tavenner had been on a fast track to confirmation, receiving votes of confidence from both sides of the isle. Communications will be ongoing, sources from HHS and the Senator's office indicated.

I just couldn't resist these socks... I mean, they have pictures of sock monkeys* on them: Superb.
This is Simon. He now lives in Delhi with Prachi - she is my Bookcrossing Birthday Buddy and so I shipped him over to her along with a couple of books and a few other birthday treats. I wasn't sure if I could trust Simon not to eat the candy I put in the box with him, but it seems he was well behaved (for once). A top tip if you ever bump into Simon: he is very cheeky, with a penchant for practical jokes and general naughtiness - but he can be bribed into good behaviour with his favourite food: jam sandwiches. Raspberry jam is best because it keeps him busy and out of harms way: he spends the next few hours picking the seeds out of his teeth.
This is the only other monkey I've made (so far, anyway) - Miss Ooky.
I'm sure you can work out from the photo which one is made of socks - the other one is Charlotte Joan- they live together in Texas. I met Princess CJs mum through Bookcrossing too - she was trying to make a sock monkey while she was pregnant but not having any luck (she is a champion knitter though, so we do craft swaps as my knitting blows). Anyway, I made Miss Ooky for her and she knitted me what I assumed was a mobile phone caddy. Turns out it was meant for hanging in the shower to put your soap in. Apparently my mistake was blamed on my being a 'wacky Londoner.' Yup.
Anyway, Princess CJ is nearly two now and I'm told still plays with Miss Ooky. It's soppy (not soapy), I know, but that really makes me smile :)
* Apparently you pluralise monkey without doing all that drop the y add i e business. English is so bloody irregular.

Your Life Work
March 1, 2006
Volume 2, Issue 3
Glossophobia is the fear of speaking in public. Some estimates
suggest that between 40-75% of us view it as our greatest fear.
Not to be confused with public speaking, it is a fear that is not
restricted to standing behind a podium. For some, speaking to an
audience of one may be as terrifying as speaking to an audience
of a hundred and one.
The fear may happen in the classroom where the student prays that
the teacher doesn't call on him to answer a question. It can
happen in the workplace where the manager experiences panic attacks
at the thought of making a presentation to her superiors. It can
happen at home where the jobseeker becomes emotionally distraught
before going on a job interview. It can happen at a party where
the possibility of meeting someone new is curtailed by butterflies
in the stomach and sweaty palms. The thought of speaking in public
can leave us frozen with fear. It can also cause us to miss out
on many academic, social, and career opportunities.
"Speak without Fear, A Total System for Becoming a Natural,
Confident Communicator" is an excellent book for anyone who
has ever dreaded speaking in public. While the book is largely geared
to the public speaker, the lessons it shares have a much broader
reach and could be applied to any of the situations listed above.
Written by Ivy Naistadt, an old friend from summer camp, it offers
a unique program that speaks to "overcoming stage fright and
developing a style of communicating that is natural and authentic."
Unlike most other books on the subject, "Speak Without Fear,"
deals not only with the "how to's," but more importantly
with the "why's." According to Ms. Naistadt, and
endorsed by most of us in the helping professions, it is not enough
to deal with the mechanics of a problem, it is equally important
to explore the underlying root causes of it to make any lasting
Using examples from her own experiences of stage fright as an actress
on the New York stage as well as those of some of the hundreds of
business executives that she has helped since she left the theatre,
Ms. Naistadt helps us explore our own stories, our commonly held
misperceptions, our fears and most importantly, the sources of our
fears. She teaches us to challenge our thoughts about ourselves
on which we base our fears, to visualize our successes and to master
the ability to speak in public with confidence.
Whatever your comfort level in speaking in public, this is a wonderful
book full of humourous anecdotes, stimulating exercises, and excellent
suggestions to help you improve your skill, increase your motivation
and overcome your fears.

Another reason my child might need therapy
I have Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS). (I know I had no idea what that was until, I was diagnosed by my OBGYN this last June. After 9 years of thinking I was just having Severe IBS and Kidney Stones, we found out that we and 12 other Dr.'s were wrong. (if you would like more info here is a helpful website my doc. gave me to learn about it: http://members.aol.com/fibroworld/mps.htm (I hope that works)
So, I had picked up a 13 inch TV, without thinking about it (I am not suppose to lift thins over 20lbs. It is a Trigger point for a whirl wind of pain. This was Monday night and by 1:00am I was hurting pretty bad. It was weird because sometimes when I have not had the pain for a while, I start thinking was the pain really that bad? Maybe I could have toughed it out. Then Monday night it hit and by 2:00am I was thinking, this is kind of like Labor. You forget what it feels like and then Transition hits and you say "Oh yeah that's how it feels!" My hubby woke up @4:00am when he heard me downstairs and he was able to think clearly and get my medicine. We know if I take the medicine I will be out of it for at least 6 hours and feel very sleepy, especially since I hadn't slept. So we called a wonderful neighbor who is in our church and my 2 youngest boys stayed with her. I am going to call her "Sister Smith" (I don't want to use real last names) So my son came home after having a great day with her and said, I think I am going to call Justin's mom (Justin is his buddy) Mom Smith! I said, No, honey you don't need to call her Mom Smith, she is not your Mom. Just call her Sister Smith! Ok, how confusing is that to a 5 year old?? After I said it my Husband and I laughed. I love when I can find Humor even when it feels like I am having a horrible day. I just have to remember, I am not having a bad Day, I am just having a bad moment. There can still be humor just around the next moment!

4 Year Stage IIIC Ovarian Cancer Survivor
LindaIn December 2010, when Linda was 54 years old, she began experiencing symptoms that she tried to ignore—bloating, diarrhea, vomiting. Linda figured it was a virus that she'd get over. But one morning that next February she became extremely sick. Linda felt a horrible pain in her stomach that would not go away. That night she went to the emergency room. The next thing she knew she was being transferred to a regional cancer center. But no one told her that she had cancer. She was shocked.
Linda says "At the cancer center, the doctors wanted to perform emergency surgery, but I developed an infection. I was in the hospital for several days while the infection was treated, and then underwent a complete hysterectomy, and removal of my appendix. I learned that there was one large mass and one small mass in my stomach, along with over a gallon of water. The doctor scraped cells from my lymph nodes to check for cancer. I remained in the hospital for three or four days after surgery." Read more here...
