Week In Review
Done, Sorta
Howard Dean says he's no longer activity pursuing the Presidency. Actively? What's that mean - if the democrat party sees the light and realizes that they can't run with Kerry, he step in if they ask really nicely? Maybe he's waiting for the RNC to ask him. Whatever it means - Go Howard! Dean for passive President.
Play Nice
I just couldn't pass this one up (from MikesList):
Breaking News
Drudge reports that Israel has 82 nukes. Are you surprised?
Top Ten
Parade had its list of 'Top Ten Worst Dictators' - where 'Worst' really means best 'cause a dictator is really a bad thing to aspire to be anyway.
Topping the list once again is Kim Jong Il (that's il - like ill - not a funny looking Roman Numeral 2) - but making his first showing on the list, and appearing at position 10 is the king of Swaziland. Yes, that's a real country. On that note - if your ever looking for information on a real country a good site is, where else, the CIA.
So why do I mention number ten, King of a country slightly smaller than New Jersey? Just found it interesting. Maybe I should send a resume that direction.
My Life
Now don't stop reading now. Big things happened this week. I beat Jesse (finally) in ping pong (best of three) - and he wasn't playing left handed. But I was.
Also I played a little Battle Field 1942 - don't do that much - it's sorta cool, getting to drive and fly everything. Why am I writhing about this. Opps, that should have been writing.
Spring Cleaning
Put in a network for someone this week. Opened up a case to stick in a NIC card - it hadn't been opened since they bought it 6 years ago. There was a spider web between the bottom of the case and the first PCI card. Moral of the paragraph: Vacuum the inside of you computer every once and a while.
'Cool' Site
Ran into this site looking for an on the fly line-in ogg encoder. The one he wrote is pretty nice. And how can you live without this? I know I can't.
Week In Review
Kerry On
While the Kerry Press Corp pesters the Bush Administration with questions about an unsubstantiated accusation about the President's National Guard service, the mainstream media is rather silent about a much more fact based accusation concerning Senator Kerry. Not that surprising I guess. Wonder how this will effect the Democratic nomination. Al Sharpton anyone?
The Source of the Problem
Rumor has it that some of the Windows source code was leaked (hmm, didn't a HL2 developer once work for Microsoft?). Surprise, surprise, it's also rumored that the code is sloppy:
"Comments such as, "potentially off-by-1, but who cares..." are buried within code for the Windows Taskbar."Sounds like my code.
And I also heard - but couldn't find an online source - that there's a major vulnerability that's been discovered (6 months ago) in the Windows core. Like the who OS branch - ya know, all windows versions (DOS users can take heart - I don't think it effects you). Patch should be forthcoming - which is good 'cause a major electronic attack is expected int he next few weeks. Like I said - that's what I was told, can't find a source online.
And back to the source leak - seems the leak wasn't from Microsoft, but from Mainsoft (friends of Microsoft).
"The leaked code includes 30,915 files and was apparently removed from a Linux computer used by Mainsoft for development purposes."I love it.
A Personal Note
And in other news, for those ever in need of flowers - which I doubt would be any of my readers - I would definitely recommend proflowers.com. And for those wondering - they were for my mom.
Pro Testing
I'm also protesting marriage. It's discriminating that single people can't be married and enjoy the benefits of being married.
Week In Review
This is short 'cause I'm working on a computer tonight. And this week was pretty boreing - right?
Blah, blah, another bunch of primaries. Whatever. Oh, and not enough 'Joementium' for Joe. Just wait until the President starts campaigning.
Flat Out Wrong
In the wonder weather we've been having - driving to work Friday morning - I had a flat on 22. 'Bout time I used that AAA membership. So anyway, I found myself at East Penn Tires - used to be a gas station - in fact it's where Bobby used to work (when it was a gas station [I mention Bobby 'cause then he reads the blog {at least I think he does} wondering how he was mentioned] not the tire shop) getting new tires. They had CNN on, and I was amazed (I don't usually watch CNN, I get my news from the BBC - kidding) at how blatantly biased they are. Oh well, that's why there Fox and AM radio - oh yeah, and the internet.
Speaking Of News
Probably the most talked about news this week was Colon Powel's visit to the UN. What? That wasn't the top news? It was a different Powel?
The National Anthem - sung by Beyonce (find the audio here)- was, as far as I can tell, appreciated by many. Maybe the NFL/CBS should take the hint and next time (right, like CBS will get the superbowl next year) have a somewhat wholesome half time show.
Go Radio
Saw 'Radio' last night - very good movie. If you liked 'Remember the Titans' you'd like this one. Good story, good acting, just a plain ol' good movie.
Well, back to the other computer...
[Note: Not sure about the leagality of downloading the national anthem audio - you know, the whole 'this broadcast is owned by the NFL blah blah blah' - but, hey, watch the Pepsi ad and you won't really care. ;-)]
Now In RSS
Just added an RSS feed for the blog. Why? Because I can.
Week In Review
Rush Was Right
The Patriots went 'all the way' - which was Rush's call at the beginning of the season. Oh, and guess what - the Eagles didn't go all the way. Go figure.
On that topic, I'm glad I didn't get the V300 a few months ago. Saw a commercial during the game featuring the V600 - comes with bluetooth. Yeah.
There Just So Many Of Them
Kerry won again - Dean didn't (funny how it works that way isn't it?) - Lieberman's 'Joementium' ain't, and Clark's says it's okay, and it's okay. Too bad for Kerry his team lost tonight. Maybe it's a sign.
"Wise-cracking funnyman Al Franken yesterday body-slammed a demonstrator to the ground after the man tried to shout down Gov. Howard Dean."Hmm, he says he was protecting Dean's 'freedom of speech' - what about the guy you tackled Al? Seems Al was a wrestler at one time, maybe he should consider a career change. WWF anyone?
Watch Out
Make sure you check out that next watch carefully - Timex is releasing a watch that'll pay your bills. Now if they could just implant it in my hand.
Speaking if that - here's one more reason Dean is scary. He wants to turn drivers licenses in to a 'standardized national ID card' (wondering if illegal aliens will be able to get one in California). Yeah - then he wants computer makers to be forced to include a 'reader' in their systems. That's to make the internet 'more secure' (I think he knows that other countries also use the internet - maybe not).
I know - why not combine the functions of the watch and the ID card - and implant in in my forehead. Hmm...maybe Dean's been reading Revelation. After all his favorite book in the New Testament was the book of Job. No Howard, that has nothing to do with the economy.
Poke eMan
Now this site seems to have no bias. It's just good old American capitalism. They sell voodoo dolls for any occasion - or political party. Get one for Rush, Glenn, John (Kerry or Edwards), Howard, Saddam, Osaka, Rums field, O'Reilly - even President Bush. Of course if you do a search for "Miserable Failure" you'll find a google ad - for a Michael Moore doll.
I Need Some of That
I've always wanted a bunch of nothing. Haven't you? Well if that's not what your looking for, you could always get a 'Think Tank'. Mike's List featured this computer in a motorcycle gas tank. Not to be out done slashdot reported a motorcycle complete with wi-fi and internet access. 'Course it's only in Cambodia. Is that near Pottsville? I think I'll take the car with luggage bays on the side.
Real Americans
While the two rovers seems to be, well, roving over mars - today's the anniversary of last year's NASA tragedy. Going where no one has gone before - doing things that people say can't be done - breaking records - challenging technology - pushing the limits - and doing it willingly - that's dangerous.
It's also American.

Robertson and Murphy to Contest Masters Final
So the Masters final is today and it will be Australian Neil Robertson against Englishman Shaun Murphy for this very coveted crown. The Masters is regarded as the most prestigious invitational snooker event in the World and the live TV coverage and £200,000 winners cheque help towards that accolade.
Robertson is a former winner of this event after having lifted the title back in 2012. The Thunder-from-Down-Under ended Ronnie O'Sullivan's reign at the event by inflicting his first defeat in 15 matches. O'Sullivan was looking for his third Masters title in succession and yesterdays loss to Robertson was his first ever in a Masters semi-final
Robertson had beaten Ali Carter 6-1 in the quarter finals and described that as one of his best performances of the season. He continued this form into the match with O'Sullivan and even opened the match with a break of 100. Robertson eventually won the best-of-11 match by the same 6-1 scoreline and puts himself in the favourites seat going in to today's final.
Murphy booked his place in the final with a 6-2 victory over Mark Allen. It was a fantastic performance from Murphy after losing the first two frames he strung 6 frames back-to-back with a great display of break building to set up a repeat of the 2012 Masters final.
The Masters is one title that Murphy has never won and he will be hoping that it is him lifting the trophy on Sunday evening. If he does win then he will be the 10th player in snooker history to win the 'Triple Crown', he has already won both the World title in 2005 and the UK Championship in 2008 so lifting the Masters will complete the set.
Charity Bets Update
As I wrote in a my previous article we are doing some Charity bets in 2015 aiming to raise money for both Freshfield Animal Rescue and Island Community Action.
The first bet of £25.00 went very well bringing in a £27.20 profit.
For today's final I have used two of the free £5 bets we had in the account to try and add to this amount. I have placed the following two bets (this time with no advice so fingers crossed!):
Bet 1: Winning Margin over 3.5 frames at Evens
Bet 2: Lose the first frame but win the match, Shaun Murphy at 9/2
I actually think the winning margin will be 10-5 or 10-6 in this match so the bet should come in and I really just have a sneaking feeling it will be Murphy's turn to win the Masters. No science involved just some gut instinct.

The Origins of This War: a German View
BY now there is some degree of agreement among historians as to the sequence of events leading up to the World War of 1914-18. This agreement has been made possible by the vast compilations of diplomatic documents published by the various Powers since the close of that war. Concerning the origins of the present war, however, the belligerent governments have not yet been able to publish such extensive documentary collections. They have, however, issued books of various "colors," in which they seek to present their respective cases by making public the texts of documents taken from their archives.[i] This article attempts to weigh and interpret these documents, with particular attention to the German case.
On November 5, 1916, in the midst of the First World War, Poland was made an autonomous state by Germany and Austria-Hungary. After the collapse of the German Empire in November 1918, Poland became independent and at Versailles received new boundaries which included a considerable amount of formerly German territory. By cutting off East Prussia from the rest of the Reich and by setting up the Free City of Danzig as an independent political organism, a source of conflict was created which, together with the minorities question, eventually made German-Polish relations intolerable and helped cause this war.
The Versailles Treaty also sought to assure just treatment for the German minorities in Poland; but the Poles did not live up to these obligations. Complaints by the German Government, which began in November 1921 and were continually repeated, led to no improvement in the conditions under which the German communities lived. Arbitrary arrests were frequent; Germans were assassinated and the culprits often left unpunished; and German-owned lands were expropriated. As a result of all this there was a large German emigration. But the Weimar Republic, deprived of military force by the Versailles Treaty, was unable to defend German rights against Polish arrogance.
At the beginning of May 1933, the new National

2016 Deer Hunting Licenses Now Available
St. Paul, MN (KROC-AM News) - The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is now selling 2016 deer hunting licenses and accepting applications to the lottery for antlerless deer permits.
DNR officials say two years of mild winters and lower overall harvest have led to steadily growing deer populations through much of Minnesota, although one-deer limits will remain in place for much of the state during the upcoming hunting season.
The deadline to apply for the antlerless permit lottery is September 8th. The archery deer hunting season will open on September 17th and the firearms deer season opener will be Saturday, November 5th.
Hunters in the 300 series deer permit areas of southeastern Minnesota are being reminded by the DNR that testing for chronic wasting disease will be conducted during the fall deer hunting season. While the testing is taking place, hunters in some areas may need to register dear in person until sampling goals are reached.
The agency has been aggressively testing for the disease in this region since it was discovered in a wild deer near Pine Island in 2009.
For more information on the CWD testing program and the hunting season visit the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website.

Straight out of the Ether – a billion-dollar crypto magnate lands in Dublin
Inventing Ethereum made Joe Lubin a billionaire. At the launch of his new ConsenSys office in the capital, Adrian Weckler went to find out what the crypto-celebrity plans next
If Joe Lubin is a billionaire, he really doesn't want to admit it.
The 53-year-old Canadian was in Dublin this week to speak at MoneyConf and establish an Irish office for his new company, ConsenSys.
But Lubin is slightly better known for being the co-founder of Ethereum, the best known cryptocurrency ecosystem after Bitcoin.
While Ethereum has a market cap of around $50bn (€42.5bn), Lubin is widely believed to hold one of the largest stashes of the four-year-old asset.
So that's the first thing I ask him.
Is he a billionaire?
"Do you really think I would answer that?" he says, sitting in his Pearse Street Huckletree office.
Why not, I tell him. Own your genius.
But you don't get to where the former Goldman Sachs executive (and one-time reggae producer) is now by not knowing how to deflect such vulgar queries.
"It's kind of an irrelevant question to us," he says. "We very explicitly don't talk about the price of Ether.
"We love the fact that lots of value is coming into our ecosystem in the form of money, in the form of increased perception of value of the various different crypto tokens, in the form of talent, entrepreneurship and so on. All of that perceived growing value is drawing attention."
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
Now he is talking about ConsenSys, the crypto-consultancy he heads up and which now employs some 900 people across 30 countries.
The new Dublin office already has a handful of people and is, Lubin says, on track to hire 60 people by next year.
ConsenSys helps to accelerate, or even launch, companies and projects that use Ethereum as a platform. This includes Ujo, a platform for musicians to get paid, and uPort, launched as an online identity verification tool.
The company is expanding rapidly, with huge interest from entities as diverse as banks and big financial consultancies to utility companies and music labels. Blockchain is hot news and despite all the sideswipes over Bitcoin, the world's institutional bodies are starting to get closer to it.
This was evident from the official launch of ConsenSys's Dublin office this week, where the fifth floor of the Guinness Storehouse was rammed with hundreds of bankers, lawyers and other card-carrying members of 'Official Ireland'.
The guest of honour to give the welcome speech was Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe, who painted the new ConsenSys installation as the continuation of a tradition of "innovation" in Dublin. It wasn't long ago that European finance ministers were warning of crypto-economies being a scam, suitable only for suckers and scumbags.
But all has changed. On Monday night, the capital's finest suits and frocks sipped Prosecco and nibbled on hors d'oeuvres as they toasted Lubin's arrival in the city.
Such white-collar types love success. Wouldn't crypto developers? As ConsenSys needs them badly, I try again to get Lubin to don a billionaire's chapeau.
"If that's why they're driven to the company, well… I guess that's ok if they're really talented," he says. "But I don't think most people are attracted to a company for reasons like that."
A little more needling on the question reveals that I'm barking up the wrong tree. Lubin describes himself a 'hodler', someone who holds ('hodls') cryptocurrency no matter what. (The misspelling derives from an historical typo someone made on an internet notice board when describing why they were holding – or "hodling" – on to Bitcoin regardless of market movements. Crypto fans have ironically adopted the misspelling as a badge of honour.)
Since the foundation of Ethereum and Ether in 2014, that 'hodl' principle has wielded extraordinary benefits to Lubin's asset portfolio. Ether started out at around 30 cents. Today, it's at $502 (€427). (In January, it hit a high of $1,278.)
That has made a small number of people very wealthy in a very short time.
But it is, Lubin says, only an incidental facet of Ethereum and a new crypto age. Its main utility is not as some sort of substitute for gold, but as a completely new platform that makes many other processes far more efficient and secure.
"Things like shares should be programmable and uncounterfeitable," he says. "There's no reason now not to have natively digital assets. We should be able to trade Beyoncé tickets against bonds. You shouldn't have to trade them all against money."
When he started ConsenSys, Lubin paid some staff using Ether. Will this be the case in Dublin or will people get a choice?
"We still do that a little bit, but it's a bit of a contentious and embarrassing issue. We started paying a lot of people in cryptocurrencies and we just grew too fast. Our legal and HR teams needed to use systems for payroll and taxation and things that don't work really smoothly in cryptocurrencies. So in the United States, we had to shift everybody over [to legacy fiat currencies]," he says.
"There are some little satellites around the world that are still sticking to the old Ether regime for as long as they possibly can. We also have a group that's trying to figure out how we can return to paying in cryptocurrencies and are coming up with interfaces to the kinds of software that we need."
But if the company's legal and HR teams were confounded by dealing with cryptocurrencies on a daily basis, they're not the only ones.
Despite being buzz terms for close to five years, the vast majority of ordinary working people don't know what blockchain is or how it works.
Many who profess a basic understanding of cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, still seem to regard it solely as some sort of get-rich-quick thing.
Does this matter to Lubin or ConsenSys?
"It matters to us in that we go to tremendous lengths to educate naive consumers, developers, business people, regulators and politicians," he says.
"But I often do tell people they're never going to use blockchain. The people that really need to use blockchain and pay attention to what blockchain is are the software developers that are going to be delivering applications to normal people.
"Ordinary people will just keep using the world wide web. They'll just use it in better ways and healthier ways, so they won't have to spray around aspects of their identity, in the way that it's stored on corporate servers and monetised in an attempt to make those people their product."
Is it a big deal that the Finance Minister – the second-most senior establishment figure in this country – is heralding the opening of Lubin's office here?
"It is a big deal, but I delivered a keynote a few days back at the International Monetary Fund. There were members from around 70 countries in attendance, including lots of financial leaders. There's just great excitement around the technology," he says.
"There's great trepidation as well because it represents real paradigm shifts in governance. We're adding a native representation of money, a natively digital representation of other kinds of assets, a native construct for identity.
"We are re-architecting how companies or groups of people will offer services to consumers and other businesses and there are definitely some hot-button issues around cryptocurrencies, as there are hot-button issues with respect to securities law around the world. But I think we're about to move through that and get to a clean resolution before the end of this year in most countries around the world."
Why do you say that?
"Because we're having good conversations with all of these people."
So you don't think that much will actually have to be changed or tweaked in relation to legislation and infrastructure?
"I think lots will happen. I think regulators in different jurisdictions are going to call to task projects that are sold as security. There will be statements made by regulators that people should continue good projects but to do some legal homework, structure them properly, don't sell what's intended to be a consumer utility token in massive quantities to speculators," he says.
The economic climate is brittle and trepidatious, with toxic G7 summits and looming trade wars. Does this help the crypto world or does it make any difference?
"I think it's probably likely to be more constructive for our space than less constructive," says Lubin. "As you have greater uncertainty you have a flight to safe-haven assets. It's hard to believe but Bitcoin and Ether and others might now be considered safe-haven assets. So yes, because the last two US administrations have worked to devalue the US dollar, in terms of cryptocurrencies, that may be an opportunity.
But in terms of crypto assets, I think they're going to be huge, no matter what the political climate is."

Gala screening for Dan Pita's "Something Good Out of Life" on Feb. 24
Film director Dan Pita is back in theatres with a new film titled 'Something Good Out of Life' that will have the gala screening at 7:30 p.m. at the Bucharest Hollywood Multiplex.
According to a release to Agerpres, the film produced by MediaPro Pictures tells a life story about friendship, love, dreams, hardships and accomplishments, all sprinkled with hope.
"Two friends brought up at the orphanage seek their way through the chaos of the post-Revolution transition. Although this is not what they would want, Mateo (played by Cornelius Ulici) and Ginel (Dragos Dumitru) accept jobs in a mine sweatshop as a way out from their precarious situation. They know there must be something good in store for each and that it depends on them alone to break out of the uncertainty fate has thrown their way. The two sworn brothers constantly take care of each other and together they manage to overcome all obstacles they come across," reads the presentation of the film.
For the movie casting Dan Pita bet almost exclusively on debutant actors and entrusted the lead roles to young actors Cornelius Ulici (a former member of the Bliss band) and Dragos Dumitru, while Anastasia Dumitrescu and Adelaida Perjoiu give life to the female characters.
"We cast unknown actors whom we bring to the public's attention. They are fresh out of college or actors with theater experience but who made no movies. I hope for 'Something Good Out of Life' to make its way to the public,' the director writes in the release.
The film produced by MediaPro Pictures won the contest organized by the National Council of Cinematography in 2007 and is based on an original script signed by Rasvan Popescu and Alex Molico.

Cyberbullying likely to be added to Ann Arbor Public School's Anti-Bullying Policy
Communications Specialist
Recent studies show 25 percent of teens have been victims of cyberbullying via their cellphones or on the Internet. Almost 95 percent of teens have witnessed cyberbullying incidents on social media. To help address the threat of cyberbullying in Ann Arbor Public Schools the Board of Education is expected to approve amendments to the district's anti-bullying policy this week.
The addition to the policy prohibits cyberbullying at school, on a school bus, or at school related events. Off-campus activity that could likely lead to a disruption to the learning environment for one or more students is also banned under the changes.
The policy covers any electronic communications that's intended to harm one or more pupils, or that a reasonable person would know is likely to harm a student.
School Board President Deb Mexicotte says fighting cyberbullying can be a real challenge but this policy should work. "It was brought up when we started talking about this particular policy that it's very hard to police the entire internet, all social media, and every other new app or device that might actually cause someone to experience a bullying episode," Mexicotte says. "But when that bullying enters the school environment as a disruption, that's when we are able to take actions, up to and including police involvement."
The policy kicks in and the district will take action the moment electronic communication disrupts one or more students' learning environment and it's reported to a building principal.
If the policy is approved the district will adjust the Ann Arbor Public Schools Rights and Responsibilities Handbook to include cyberbullying in the anti-bullying section.
The School Board is also expected to approve a new Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, Procedures and Guidelines Policy. The new policy came directly from the state and must be approved by the end of the month.
The meeting takes place Wednesday at 7 PM at Huron High School.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'gold' tag.
dear reader:
The photo above shows that the yellow orchid does indeed have a lip.
When the Inquisitor appeared
in a dream years ago…
I realized I was trying
to speed my growth
by stretching myself
on a torture rack
so I then began to use gentler tactics
and accepted the tedium
of gradual change.
A wise way, yes—but
by the time I'd finally
washed off enough dross
to shine a bit…
my youth was gone—
its golden possibilities lost:
in a dream, I saw
gold dust fall down
to disappear into the cracks
between worn floorboards.
I woke in grief
and remained in grief
until an old crone
(impatient with my self-pity)
turned my mind by asking:
does anything ever really die?
then opened the door
to a subterranean cache—
a garden flourishing
with spires of golden grain
and yellow orchids
dripping honey from the lip.

searching for my best beliefs: poetry ebook
author's note:
Dedicated to the memory of Gisela Kirberg. Someone who understood the value of a good fairy tale.
As a boy, I believed
a pot of gold greeted Noah
at the end of the rainbow
after his 40 days and 40 nights
of storm
so now, whenever I behold a rainbow
the child in me rises to sing
of how the door of that arch
will someday—finally—open for me
and I'll step over its threshold
into a golden new life.
A foolish hope, perhaps
but as an adult, I've learned
to listen to the child
while also
checking its wishes against
the demands of the soul-self.
and regarding this wish,
I'm pleased to report
the soul-self says "yes"
while also telling me
what I must risk and sacrifice
in order to achieve it.
Though I've learned to obey…
the reasonable adult in me
often feels doubt.
So, for reassurance
I tell myself the story
of the blessed fool who became a frog
as a way to survive all the rain and mud
then hardened
into gray lead
as a way to withstand
all the lightning.
But blinded by
the confusion of his storm
the fool was unaware
he'd transformed
until the day he finally
asked himself why
he felt so odd…
that question cleared the clouds
long enough
for him to see
he'd become a lead frog
he then realized
that the danger of remaining
as he was
was greater than the danger
of becoming something other
and so
from that point forward
he gladly embraced
the slow
painful process
of alchemy
and as a result
after 40 days and 40 nights
(in storybook time)
the husk of the dead lead frog
opened up
and a golden prince
leapt out.
I know some will say
a fairy tale is merely
comfortable refuge
for fools who still believe
but I say…
this story has remained
in constant circulation
because we've witnessed its truth
in the bios of so many
who've lived some version
of that journey—
many of whom likely told
some version of the tale
to themselves for reassurance
occasionally, along the way
until they'd finally
—finally—opened the door
and stepped over the threshold.
they kept on repeating it
but now for the benefit
of us other blessed frogs.

dream steps: a blog
author's note:
…and the street of the city was pure gold…
— Revelation 21:21
Though I glimpsed
fragile frost sparkling
amid the fur of that green moss
I rejected the urge
to stop and explore
with my hungry fingertips.
Later, while under
the bare branches of the trees
I sensed a mystery in the wind
but at such a fast pace, I mostly missed
the multi-layered voice
of the long brown grass.
Then, at the end of this rush
I poured water down my gullet
until my belly felt pleasantly plump
but because I forgot to focus
I lost the bright flavor of the ice.
So much gold I've diminished to dust.
sometimes I'll allow something
to break through my somnolence—
for instance:
the time when
the bird perched vertically
on that tall weed stem—
I felt such admiration
for the way it held on
with those small taunt claws
then I was dazzled again
as the wren vanished
in a flash of flutter and feather
drawing my child-mind to the sky
where I beheld
a low cloud sliding swiftly by:
in that blessed instant
my dormant neurons suddenly blazed up
with unspeakable white intensity
but soon
(like the earth-bound soul I am)
I followed the natural inclination
to lower my eyes back down to this world—
a world now beaming
with so many varieties of gold:
the gold I usually ignore
but even then, it's not lost:
whether I'm aware or not
I'm taking in all this treasure
with every living moment.
I believe after death
we're finally able to realize
the riches we've accumulated
through our human existence.
But until then I can at least
force myself to occasionally brake
to see and feel and hear and taste
and in that way, remind myself:
in this dusty life
I walk on streets of gold.

myth steps: a blog
author's note:
As the darkest day of the year approaches…
…I say it's a good time to find our gold.
Someone told me:
if you touch this gold piece
you will understand
our human life…
but afterwards,
though a little more enlightened
I still could not see
as clearly as I wished.
that one touch did awaken me
to a stubborn desire
only dimly sensed before:
this life of mine
would be devoted to finding
the light of gold—
a quest with so many frustrations:
what I discovered
often did not touch me
in the way that I had hoped
and what did provoke
might later fail to move me
when I returned
expecting a repeat.
At times, this world
seemed dead to me—
a false perception, yes
but a helpful one because
I then turned within
and by digging, I again found gold
in the dark—my progress so slow
but the vein steady
waiting patiently to be uncovered…
and the more I raised
the more the landscape outside shone…
but no–
the outside had always shone:
I just didn't see, didn't feel before
how this world constantly
touches me, provokes me—
moving me to show
my own gold in response.

Drug Facts – Prescription Drugs
The non-medical use or abuse of prescription drugs remains a serious public health concern. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse's (NIDA) research report Prescription Drugs: Abuse and Addiction, there are three classes of prescription drugs that are most commonly abused:
- opioids, which are most often prescribed to treat pain—examples include: codeine, oxycodone (OxyContin and Percocet), and morphine (Kadian and Avinza);
- central nervous system (CNS) depressants, which are used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders—examples include: barbiturates (Mebaral and Nembutal) and benzodiazepines (Valium and Xanax);
- stimulants, which are prescribed to treat the sleep disorder narcolepsy, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obesity—examples include: dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine and Adderall) and methylphenidate (Ritalin and Concerta).
Many Americans benefit from the appropriate use of prescription pain killers, but, when abused, they can be as addictive and dangerous as illegal drugs. Prescription drugs should only be taken exactly as directed by a medical professional.
The Synthetic Drug Control Strategy addresses the extent of and problems associated with prescription drug abuse. Prescription drugs account for the second most commonly abused category of drugs, behind marijuana and ahead of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and other drugs. Prescription drug abuse poses a unique challenge because of the need to balance prevention, education, and enforcement, with the need for legitimate access to controlled substance prescription drugs.
Extent of Use
Data from the National Drug Intelligence Center's 2006 National Drug Threat Survey (NDTS) reveal that 78.8% of state and local law enforcement agencies reported either high or moderate availability of illegally diverted pharmaceuticals.
According to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 52 million Americans aged 12 or older reported non-medical use of any psychotherapeutic at some point in their lifetimes, representing 20.8% of the population aged 12 or older. Approximately 6.2 million Americans aged 12 or older reported current (past month) use of psychotherapeutic drugs for non-medical purposes, representing 2.5% of the population. In this report, psychotherapeutics include any prescription-type pain reliever, tranquilizer, stimulant, or sedative but do not include over-the-counter drugs.
Additional data from the 2008 NSDUH show that there were 2.5 million persons aged 12 or older who used psychotherapeutics nonmedically for the first time within the past year, which averages out to around 7,000 initiates per day. This annual estimate of the initiates of psychotherapeutics was significantly lower than the 2004 estimate (2.8 million).
Each year, the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study asks drug use and related questions of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders nationwide. MTF provides usage estimates for alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, and substances that are only legally available by prescription. The study includes data for the non-medical use of amphetamines, stimulants including Ritalin, and sedatives (barbiturates) including: methaqualone, tranquilizers, the narcotic pain relievers Vicodin and OxyContin, as well as GHB, Ketamine, and Rohypnol, which is not legal for prescription in the United States. Survey respondents were asked to exclude from their responses any use of prescription drugs that occurred under medical supervision.
MTF data for 2008 show that lifetime prevalence rates for amphetamine use without a doctor's orders were 6.8% for 8th graders, 9.0% for 10th graders, and 10.5% for 12th graders.
Approximately 9.7% of 12th graders surveyed in 2008 reported annual (past year) use of Vicodin without a doctor's orders.
According to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, approximately 21.3% of State prisoners and 16.9% of Federal prisoners surveyed in 2004 indicated that they abused depressants at some point in their lives. For this report, depressants were defined to include barbiturates, tranquilizers and Quaalude.
Health Effects
The health risks associated with prescription drug abuse vary depending on the drug. For example, abuse of opioids, narcotics and pain relievers can slow or stop breathing. The abuse of depressants, including benzodiazepines and other tranquilizers, barbiturates and other sedatives, can result in seizure, respiratory depression and decreased heart rate. Stimulant abuse can lead to high body temperature, irregular heart rate, cardiovascular system failure and seizure.9 Inappropriate use of prescription drugs, including use without a prescription or medical supervision, or using in a manner other than exactly as prescribed, can lead to addiction in some cases.
The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) receives reports of emergency department (ED) episodes involving the non-medical use of legal drugs. These can involve the deliberate abuse of prescribed or legally obtained over-the-counter (OTC) medications or of pharmaceuticals diverted for abuse. Accidental overdoses or adverse reactions to OTC or prescription drugs taken as directed are not reportable to DAWN unless they are present in combination with an illicit drug.
During 2006, there were an estimated 741,425 ED visits that involved non-medical use of prescription or OTC pharmaceuticals or dietary supplements. CNS agents were involved in an estimated 373,138 ED visits and psychotherapeutic agents were involved in an estimated 323,999 visits.
There is no single type of treatment which is appropriate for individuals addicted to prescription drugs. Treatment options must take into account the specific type of drug used along with the needs of the individual.
Several options are available for effectively treating addiction to prescription opioids and are drawn from research regarding the treatment of heroin addiction. Options include medications, such as naltrexone, methadone, and buprenorphine, as well as behavioral counseling.
Patients addicted to barbiturates or benzodiazepines should not attempt to stop taking the drugs on their own, as withdrawal from these drugs can be problematic, and in the case of certain CNS depressants, potentially life-threatening. Patients addicted to these medications should undergo medically supervised detoxification because the treatment dose must be gradually tapered. Inpatient or outpatient counseling can help the individual during this process. Cognitive-behavioral therapy has also successfully been used to help individuals adapt to the removal from benzodiazepines.
Treatment of addiction to prescription stimulants is often based on behavioral therapies that have proven effective in treating cocaine or methamphetamine addiction. Depending on the patient's situation, the first steps in treating prescription stimulant addiction may be tapering off the drug's dose and attempting to treat withdrawal symptoms. The detoxification process could then be followed by one of many behavioral therapies.
According to the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS), opiates other than heroin ("other opiates/synthetics") accounted for 5% of the total TEDS admissions in 2007 (90,516 admissions). These drugs include codeine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, meperidine, morphine, opium, oxycodone, pentazocine, propoxyphene, tramadol, and any other drug with morphine-like effects.
Arrests & Sentencing
There are a variety of responses to prescription fraud that can be used by police, pharmacists, and others to try to prevent and address this crime:
- improve pharmacists' screening of prescriptions and patients
- employ security measures (for example, use tamper-resistant prescription pads)
- prescribe drugs electronically
- create a database of customers
- use police crackdowns to target specific doctors/pharmacies
Some states have developed prescription monitoring programs, which can help prevent and detect the diversion and abuse of pharmaceutical controlled substances.18 Through the Bureau of Justice Assistance's Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, funds are available to develop and enhance such programs.
The illegal sale of pharmaceutical drugs using the Internet or e-mails advertising the sale of drugs can be reported to the following agencies:
The DEA has also launched a toll-free international hotline (1-877-RxAbuse) to report the illegal sale and abuse of pharmaceutical drugs. Using the hotline, anonymous tips can be provided about the diversion of prescription drugs into the illegal market by individuals and suspicious Internet pharmacies.
During FY 2004, there were 5,556 Federal drug arrests for "other" drugs. This category of drugs includes barbiturates, hallucinogens, opiates other than heroin, and synthetic drugs.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), there were 237 Federal arrests involving Oxycodone during 2006. During 2005, there were 236 such arrests.
The Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) II program is designed to gather information on drug use and related matters from adult male offenders within 48 hours of arrest. ADAM II serves as a critical source of data for estimating trends in drug use in local areas, understanding the relationship between drugs and crime, and describing drug market activity in the adult male arrestee population in 10 U.S. sites during 2008. Approximately 10% of adult arrestees reported the use of opiate painkillers in four ADAM data collection sites (Indianapolis, IN; Minneapolis, MN; Portland, OR; and Sacramento, CA).
Production & Trafficking
Individuals illegally obtain prescription drugs through a variety of means, such as:
- Doctor shopping or other prescription fraud
- Illegal online pharmacies
- Theft and burglary (from residences, pharmacies, etc.)
- Receiving/purchasing from friends or family
- Overprescribing (negligent or occasionally even intentional overprescribing by physicians or other prescribers)
A research study was conducted in 2007 on behalf of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University. A total of 210 hours was devoted to documenting the number of Internet sites dispensing selected prescription drugs. Using Internet search engines and e-mail advertisements, researchers discovered that of the 187 Internet sites found to be selling controlled prescription drugs during this period, 157 (84%) did not require any prescription. Of these sites, 52 (33%) clearly stated that no prescription was needed, 83 (53%) offered an "online consultation" and 22 (14%) made no mention of a prescription.
Only 30 of the 187 Internet sites found during the 2007 study required a prescription. Of these, 17 (57%) only required patients to fax a prescription, 4 (13%) required that a patient mail the prescription and 9 (30%) indicated that a doctor would be contacted prior to dispensing the drug.

New housing plans will need the backing of local residents in a referendum before they can go ahead, under laws to be proposed by Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles.
The radical proposals follow the Government's abolition of the regional spatial strategy, which included plans for 397,900 homes in the West Midlands.
Under the old system, regional bodies such as the regional assembly - also now abolished - drew up housing proposals in line with policies dictated by Whitehall, which local councils were then forced to obey.
But decisions will now be taken neighbourhood groups at ward level in big cities such as Birmingham, or parish councils in rural areas.
They will draw up plans showing where new shops, offices or homes should go and what green spaces should be protected.
The plans will be put to local residents in a referendum, and will be binding on councils if approved.
But communities will be encouraged to allow new housing developments in their neighbourhood with the promise of government cash.
The Government's "new homes bonus" will match the extra council tax raised from new properties for six years after they are built.
Neighbourhoods will also have the power to fast-track planning approval for chosen sites on local land.
The measures, to be announced in next week's Localism Bill, mark a major shift of power from regional to local level.
Under the previous system, a West Midlands spatial strategy would have meant an extra 57,500 homes were built Birmingham, 63,000 in the Black Country and 33,500 in Coventry, as well as 40,500 in Worcestershire - mainly in Bromsgrove and Redditch - and 43,500 in Warwickshire.
Although Birmingham welcomed plans for dramatic expansion of its housing stock, other councils were opposed. Authorities such as Coventry claimed they were being forced to allow building on green belt land, in order to comply with the regional strategy.
Mr Pickles said: "For far too long local people have had too little say over a planning system that has imposed bureaucratic decisions by distant officials in Whitehall and the town hall.
"We need to change things so there is more people-planning and less politician-planning, so there is more direct democracy and less bureaucracy in the system. These reforms will become the building blocks of the Big Society."

Being "Used" by God and other phrases
Language is a wonderful gift and when used well it is a vehicle to communicate love, acceptance, grace, goodness and wholeness to heal and restore others. It can of course be used to tear down, divide, destroy and discourage. I've wondered lately whether the usage of Christian jargon in our language is really helpful or a hindrance to people who are unfamiliar with it. I'm particularly thinking of those souls that haven't been raised in church and perhaps don't know the Lord yet. How many times have we heard in a sermon or read on a newsletter words and phrases like "sanctified", "washed in the blood of the Lamb", "used by God", "cleansed by His Word" and so on? Have you ever wondered how that sounds to someone who has never heard it before? Let's take "used by God" as an example. Have you thought about what it would be

March Madness Set to Start Thursday
By Zach Wargo 20'
It happens every year, with the college basketball season coming to a close the annual NCAA Tournament is now set. The number 1 seeds for the tournament were a lock coming into when the teams were selected. Virginia, Villanova, Kansas, and Xavier were all rewarded with tremendous seasons. The field of 68 was set in a span of half an hour, and there were questions for the seeding, as with Arizona getting a 4 seed, and Oklahoma, Arizona St, and Syracuse. The questions were is they did get it right, as they were the last 3 teams in the tournament with mediocre records. Every year the tournament never fails to repeat, with major upsets, buzzer beaters, and of course the tournament ending in one shining moment.
Two years ago the tournament showed us everything, with buzzer beaters, and one of the greatest title games of all time, with a game-winning buzzer beating national title for Villanova over North Carolina. Which last year the Tar Heels had gotten revenge on the field of 68 by defeating Gonzaga in the national title game, and winning their sixth title in it's school history. March Madness has presented us with unforgettable moments, which is one reason why sports fans love it so much.
In this year's tournament Duke, Villanova, Virginia, and North Carolina are the favorites to win this year's title, as Arizona and Michigan St is are other people's dark horses this year. With the countries top team, the Virginia Cavaliers have the best defense in the country, which is what makes them a heavy favorite. Although Virginia a favorite, Duke and Villanova is not far behind them, as they are looking to have a deep run in March and hoist the trophy in San Antonio.
March Madness is like christmas for most sports fans, with bracket pools, and the feat to have a perfect bracket, as people love March for this event every year. The Madness starts March 13th, with the first four, as 1st round play begins March 15th.

Venom:Killer & Cure at The Natural History Museum
– Audio-visual installations both unsettling and fascinating, to entice viewers into the Venom:Killer and Cure exhibition by playing on the psychology of the unknown.
The Natural History Museum commissioned SDNA to create two audio visual installations exploring the fear and attraction to venom.
● Intro installation 1 – Twitch and Scuttle
As visitors approach the entrance to the exhibition, they glimpse fragmented images of giant shadows, instantly recognisable as something non-human, something 'other', but not immediately definable. The fragmented shadows disappear and and reappear, move in erratic and unpredictable ways, are dark and angular in appearance. They have the characteristics many people associate with sinister creatures they don't really understand, yet also find fascinating. Every so often a giant venomous creature walks across the screen. The imagery was created using live spiders, centipedes, assassin bugs and a scutigera placed in specially designed perspex boxes with hand made latex fronts. Different lighting effects were used, designed to cast giant shadows, reveal close up details, textures and silhouettes of the animals. Sounds were be recorded from the box using sensitive microphones, which were then amplified and heightened through sound-effects.
The scale and movement of the images and the sound of of creeping and scratching generate feelings of fear and and anxiety, but also arouse visitors' curiosity, encouraging them to move on to find out more…
● Intro installation 2 – Envenomation
The second installation features the shadow of a huge spider lurking behind the screen. As visitors walk down a dark corridor a sensor is triggered and the spider leaps into action: its fangs pierce the screen and release their venom represented by immersive images and sounds. As they move closer to the screen the sound of a heartbeat accelerates the yellow venom swirls and reacts to their movement.

Take a Closer Look at Costume
Closer look at preindustrial sewing techniques
Sewing and economy
Sewing techniques rationalized and facilitated the work, and as well as the cutting the sewing was influenced by economic thinking. In cutting and adding pieces seam allowances were made as narrow as possible but they could also be made wide to allow future changes. Excess fabric was folded and sewn into the garment.
Choice of sewing techniques
The choice of seam depended on the material, if the garment was lined, how intense a strain it should suffer and what qualities it should have; smooth or flat, stiff and supportive, visible or not. The type of garment and the placement of the seam were factors carefully taken into account, as well as wear and tear during washing and future changes. Changes in material and cut also meant changes in sewing technology. Thinner, ductile fabrics and improved cutting during the late 1700s also improved sewing technology.
Sewing techniques during pre-industrial times were by no means static but evolved from the end of the 1600 - century and the early 1700s towards greater diversification.
Investigation by Pernilla Rasmussen of techniques in the female fashionable dress 1770-1830 in Sweden shows that sewing technique is characterized by great diversity and that the tailor's acquired qualifications in sewing was bigger than previously thought. Tailoring was characterized by both tradition and individuality – within certain frames there was space for a personal approach.
- Some techniques were valid for the entire period. This applies above all to the simpler methods for assembling patterns, which are the basis of the pre-industrial sewing technique.
- Other groups of sewing techniques are strongly linked to construction and material such as rational methods for joining two layers of outer fabric and two layers of lining in one or two steps. Cutting could also be replaced by sewing technique - for example pleats or gathering.
- The techniques could also be influenced by fashion. For example piping and padded rolls contributed strongly to the aesthetic impression of fashion in the 1820s.
- Fashion was created not only by the use of different materials and cut but also by means of sewing techniques.

Sleepy Sunday
Got home late, cut a co-worker's hair last night-else it would be another week or so before getting it done.
I was up past 12 a.m. because I watched the season finale of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
I wanted to stay up and watch Must Love Cats-but that would've been a 2 a.m. bedtime or so. Um...fail.
That might take you to the book I bought. Hilarious.
Bella Mae threw up this early a.m., jolted me awake. I think that's why I slept in so late. Cordelia didn't do her wake-up mommy routine. Weird.
Bill made breakfast and some extra coffee. We talked today, which was good.
Bella Mae decided it was time for 'mommy lap-time' I like lap-time.

An independent online poll has shown that Sarawakians are not supportive of Pakatan Rakyat's objections to an independent Sarawak.
A recent independent online survey showed that 95% of those polled voted for Sarawak to move out of the Federation of Malaysia.
The 10-day poll commencing Feb 14 to Feb 24 was organised by Facebook page Hornbill Talks and attracted the participation of 2,107 voters.
The poll sought to get public opinions on whether they supported calls for Sarawak to secede through referendum or remain in the federation of Malaysia.
An overwhelming number voted for an independent Sarawak.
Participants were asked one simple question and asked to tick their answers. The question and answer options were: "If a referendum were to be carried out in Sarawak within the next six months, you will choose – i) Remaining in Malaysia, ii) Independence or iii) Undecided".
The poll was done in English, Malay, Iban and Mandarin, the four common languages spoken in Sarawak.
In the Hornbill Talks Facebook page, it was stated that only three percent or 54 of the 2,107 participants voted for "Remaining in Malaysia", while 95% percent voted for "Independence", and two percent or 47 were "undecided"
Hornbill Talks also stated that among the participants "approximately 90 percent of them live in Malaysia. The rest of them live in other countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Brunei, and so on.
"In Malaysia, approximately 1,400 votes came from Malaya, 960 votes came from Sarawak and 30 votes from Sabah. In Malaya, approximately 980 votes came from Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
"The rest, which accounts for 30 percent of the votes, roughly 420 participants live in other major cities such as Penang, Johor Bharu and Ipoh," noted Hornbill Talks in its FB post dated Mar 11.
Sarawak wants a referendum
It also claimed that based on the poll results and the statistics gathered, the majority of the participants supported the idea of independence if given a choice for a referendum.
"More participants came from Malaya than Sarawak, possibly because of the poor infrastructure in Sarawak, and therefore many (in Sarawak) had no access to the Internet.
"Another reason could be that most of the intellectuals and those being tech-savvy from Sarawak have moved to Malaya to work or further their studies.
"Most of the Sarawakians living in Malaya who voted stay around Kuala Lumpur area and the Klang Valley.
"The rest are living in major cities such as Johor Baru, Penang, Ipoh and Kuantan. This also gives a strong support to the reason above," Hornbills Talks noted.
However, there was no clear percentage of the total number of Sarawakians or non-Sarawakians who took part in the polls.
The polls were totally open to the public on Facebook although the organizers insisted that "it was well promoted in numerous Sarawak Facebook groups".
"In Sarawak, one very interesting phenomenon can be observed. Majority of the participants, surprisingly, came from the central district of Sarawak, which includes Sibu, Mukah and Bintulu. Approximately 600 of the votes came from these areas in the central region (of Sarawak).
"Other than that, the southern district of Sarawak came second, with roughly 300 of the participants living in this area, majority of them in Kuching.
"The rest, which accounts for less than 100 votes, came from the northern region, which includes Miri and Limbang," said the post.
No support for Pakatan's view
Main force behind the poll, FB user Beng Kor told FMTBorneoplus about the unanticipated large number of pro-independence voters from central Sarawak.
"This is in contrast to what we expected. As we know, the central region is a strong DAP and Pakatan Rakyat stronghold in Sarawak.
"Now we know Pakatan Rakyat and their supporters are generally against the idea of Sarawak independence," Beng Kor opined, in reference of PKR Sarawak chairman Baru Bian's recent warning that talks about Sarawak's secession from Malaysia as 'treason'.
Several key Pakatan Rakyat members and supporters recently had openly voiced their dissatisfaction about the rising sense of nationalism within Sarawak.
A pro-Pakatan Facebook group, "Sarawak Autonomy Movement" was also launched to counter the increasingly popular and well-received nationalist group of Sarawak Sovereignth Movement (SSM).

Amazon Makes the C.U.T. – An Important Taxpayer Win, A Reminder to Consider Transactional Evidence/
Volume 4 No 5 / Read Article
Last month, Insights reported on the Tax Court decision in Amazon v. Commr., involving the "buy-in" payment made as compensation for the right to use pre-existing I.P. in a related-party cost-sharing arrangement ("C.S.A."). This month, Michael Peggs comments on the lessons learned from the taxpayer victory in that case regarding (i) the transfer pricing method used, (ii) the assumptions made and analyses used to value the buy-in payment, and (iii) the correct treatment of intangible development costs within the term of the C.S.A.
