Thursday night in the Rangers postgame dressing room, players were analytical about the club's 4-3 shootout loss to the Islanders---a game that saw the Blueshirts let an early 2-0 lead disappear when the Isles erupted for three third-period goals before Carl Hagelin scored the goal which ultimately earned the Rangers a point in the standings.

Eat this one, univest! Debra [Redacted], the branch so-called "manager" at the blue bell office is a spiteful piece of crap. Hate her. As for her boss, brianna, she sucks too. Hate her.
As for jay [Redacted], the director of business security, he's a jackass. Hate him. They put a rather lengthy and unnecessary hold on money i needed to pay my bills. Now, i'm about to lose my car and my health insurance. These idiots don't even care! Stay away from them!
I was with the mergers that led to Wells Fargo for 30+ years and wanted to move to a smaller bank. They did everything possible to get me to switch including an ok deal with a home equity line of credit, free checks and personalized service. The basics are fine. I depend totally on online banking and download to Quicken. That has been a nightmare. They use web based connections which mean having to download and import each account separately. There online help is limited to bank personnel with very limited knowledge and typically blame me when things aren't working. I had to get Intuit to teach me how to download because they didn't know how. Now with their new upgrade it has become unbearable and harmful to my business. The downloads all go into one account from all 5 accounts downloaded and/or download into a wrong account. It takes hours of work to clean up after downloads. Even the payee name downloads into the memo. If they had knowledgeable personnel working on it it wouldn't be so bad, but they don't. Little gets fixed and the problems get worse. I am looking for another bank. When I complain to the bank manager who gave me all the warm fuzzies to leave Wells Fargo she doesn't know anything about the online banking because she still uses Wells Fargo where she worked prior to Univest. That says something for their online banking system.

How do two hours fly by so quickly? We students were bursting with questions for our guests of Opera 101 last night. In fact, we passionate opera lovers could have remained in class all evening, eager for more behind-the-scenes information from experts who have devoted their lives to opera. Our first guest was Clare Burovac, Director of Artistic Operations. Some of her responsibilities include auditioning and hiring all the vocalists and instrumentalists for the Portland Opera. This includes the singers for the Portland Opera Resident Artists, the chorus, the mainstage singers, and the children's chorus. Of all the positions we've learned about, Clare's has the most appeal to me. Can you imagine a job where you can listen to and evaluate hundreds of opera singers each year? Where you can meet both the young, aspiring singers beginning their careers, as well as experienced singers who have sung all over the world? I imagine that would be fabulous. Extraordinarily difficult, but enormously satisfying.
Next we met the amazing Rodney Menn. I have had the pleasure of knowing Rodney for many years in his capacity as an opera accompanist. But that's only one hat he wears. He's also a conductor, teacher, and vocal coach. Underlying all his jobs is a passion for the music and a mission to train and encourage young singers. Rodney shared his insider knowledge about the differences between instrumentalists and singers in relation to the conductor. Most singers are motivated to get along well with the conductor, but instrumentalists often have a combative relationship with him/her. "Instrumentalists are from Mars," Rodney pointed out, "and singers are from Venus."

Six-Pack Ring Pendant Lights by Bao-Khang Luu
Design Showcase 2011
Design: Six-Pack Ring Pendant Lights
Materials: post-consumer six-pack rings
Designer: Bao-Khang Luu
"I'm a lifelong upcycler. I spent my much of my childhood in the Midwest surrounded by numerous siblings and relatives. We were poor, but we compensated with creativity. I grew up watching my father repurpose materials around the house to make repairs and create new useful things. Nothing went to waste. He even made nunchuks from steel pipes and electrical tape."
"I was expected pursue law or medicine. Instead I painted, designed, and danced my way through college. I spent a few years dancing for couple Modern dance companies. To combine my interests I moved to NYC, where I fully realized my penchant for making and was rewarded with another nifty design degree from Parsons School of Design. Early in 2010, I cobbled together my first pendant light. Relevé Design was incorporated shortly after.
Having watched my father upcycle over the years, coupled with my passion for design and the arts, led me to Relevé Design. I look at everything and see potential. Am I an eco warrior? No. I just can't stand waste.
Relevé Design transforms commonly discarded materials into new useful lighting, home accessories, and furniture. By injecting a hefty dose of design into upcycling, we make beautiful and desirable objects that happen to be eco-friendly too.
Relevé Design offers collections in limited edition. Each collection focuses on one type of discarded material upcycled into one type of object. The inaugural collection upcycles post-consumer six-pack rings into a series of pendant lights."

Looks kind of cool, but I think I'd like to see it in person to be sure it doesn't look like trash. I only buy soda in 12 packs and don't ever deal with those plastics.
I, too, would like to see in real life. The photos look great, but that is sometimes deceptive.
I like the concept -- this really is "UPcycling" assuming the lamps look nice close up, rather than the kind of thing where trash is converted into a one-time party use THEN taken to the landfill. THAT kind of "upcycling" is just a lie that bugs me to death!
I could believe these would be similar to IKEA plastic lampshades -- so I hope the price isn't hugely more.
Thanks for commenting, atomicranch79 and SherryBinNH.
I totally agree that a lot of upcycled things can look thrown together. I worked through numerous prototypes and construction methods to arrive at my final line. You can visit the Relevé Design website to see large photos. I'm also planning to get some lights out to a couple shops around NYC in the future so people can see them up close!
The lights are perfect for everyday use at home and definitely not meant for "one-time party use".
Individual lights are handwoven (not mass-produced) which can take up to a week.
No problem Bao-Khang Luu. Nice to hear from the designer and so promptly too! I'm in big support of upcycling and I too learned a lot from my dad and I'm always working on DIY projects to restore, create and maintain things.
This is a lovely idea and exhibits great reuse. As for those concerned about it looking like 'trash', it is trash - reappropriated and that is its charm.
Thanks for the comment, thirdwheel. You hit it right on the nose!
I could have designed pendant light using new plastic, or I could have processed the six-pack rings into an unrecognizable form. But I went through great lengths to figure out a construction method to keep them whole and unaltered (no gluing, cutting, burning, melting). I wanted the material to be discernible, if you look closely at each light.
I really see charm and potential in all materials, especially things we commonly discard on a daily basis. My designs are about reappropriating and reworking materials so other people can see that potential too.
it is great design. How you come-up with the idea useing six pack ring and how can you collected so many rings to complete your design?
Standing in the office kitchen one day I happened to glance into the trash can. A small stack of six-pack rings sat in the trash heap. I thought it was such a waste that these were used once, for one purpose, and would end up in a land fill.
The material has a pattern, is pliable and translucent. It's such a shame that something purposely designed loses value so quickly. I wanted to re-envision it's designed characteristics and keep the material fully intact. It's my way of acknowledging and honoring the thought, work, and energy put into making a disposable and seemingly insignificant object.
I collect used rings from local businesses.
perfect design! it's a great job with a lot of patien(per collect those wasted-stuff)to create new things and usfull,hopfuuly people will keep recycle-stuff and asking for your advise,and you might collect a reward in the future per your new IDEAL.Keep go on.
Nice job in creativity. Can't imagine six different lamp shapes can be built with 6-pack plastic can holders. Keep up with the imagination and designing.
Love it!
My favorite. Much respect Bao-Khang Luu.
Gosh! Thanks, bkbrownstone!
Incredible idea! At my office the man who puts the plastic connectors for canned soda after putting the cans into the soda machine drives me nuts. I wish more people knew how these can hurt animals. I would love to go to a store in NYC to buy one. You need more press coverage :)
Actually, David, that's how I got started. Over a year later the vending machine guys are still saving rings for me. One lamp can use 100 to 400 rings, so I have other sources, but I'm always looking for additional ones!
Luckily, today, LDPE six-pack rings photodegrade under UV, so they'll break down into smaller pieces (supposedly at a slower rate in salt water). Also, they are recyclable, though recycling (downcycling) isn't available for them everywhere.
I'm working on getting them into a couple shops around NYC in the future. You can sign up on my mailing list or check in with my blog to stay updated.
Thanks for all your comments, David!
Upcycle. Geez.

There's plenty of ambiguous intellectual heft lurking behind the curtain of mediocrity - so it's a pity it feels like it was dashed off in a few hours one afternoon.
The talented cast fails to gel into a dynamic ensemble: You just see actors going through familiar paces.
Woody Allen cranks out another formulaic interweave of romantic crushes, with old jazz on the soundtrack to supply some artificial gaiety.
Classic Woody -- an ensemble cast of brilliant actors, a timeless story that could be set virtually anywhere and crisp writing and direction that neither lollygags or rushes.
Allen has been criticized for leaving some of the plot lines up in the air and several characters in the lurch. But he seems to be making a point: Neat Hollywood endings are as phony and dangerous as Cristal's ramblings.
It's one of Allen's lesser films yet, as is so often the case with his B-material, it still features terrific performances...and a cluster of truth-nailing scenes that are better than what you typically find in major releases.
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger is the amnesiac relative of Allen's body of work. It's wearing the fleshy mask of all that you love; but conducts itself with an abrasive and frightened detachment.
Allen's mixed experiences with London stand in sharp contrast with his love affair with the French capital (the setting for last year's return to form, Midnight in Paris).
Like a second hand clothes shop, it is comfortable rather than exciting, predictable rather than refreshing, even though it boasts a great cast who believe in their master, Woody Allen
It may not be Allen's best work, but this flutter and change of hearts is easy to watch and enjoy as wishes and dreams play their tug of war
The cast is the main draw here, but it's also the movie's biggest problem. Hopkins and Jones are excellent, and a greater focus on that couple might well have resulted in a much better film.
How many times do you want to watch the same Woody Allen movie? What's your tolerance threshold for repeat visits back to his couch?
Maybe the next one will be a return to form for the living legend, and hey, at the rate Allen is churning them out, one of them has to be good, right?
Elaborately plotted, perfunctorily directed, unevenly acted and short on verbal wit.
Another wretched Woody Allen release gives yet another round of Hollywood actors the chance to tick him off their legends-to-work-with lists without giving us much to enjoy in the process...
Allen has said he makes films as they offer him a distraction, and he has created just that: An enjoyable but instantly forgettable distraction.
This is no Manhattan or Annie Hall, and while it's true Woody Allen isn't as good as he used to be, neither is anyone else.
The distinguished actors are as strong as you would expect, the narrative structure is well-crafted, and there's something curiously bracing about Allen's misanthropy.
A narrator alerts us at the outset that this tale is (to quote Macbeth) "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing". I suppose we should be thankful for the warning.
You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger is a typically wry, rueful ensemble piece in which love makes fools of everyone.
It's interesting and worthwhile, with creative vitamins that are absent in so much of what fills the cinemas.
It's hard to escape the feeling that Allen has told this story so many times before - and so much better.
When I saw the words "Tin Ear Production Company" in the end credits, I wasn't sure if it was a joke or a piece of authorial honesty.

Four Steps to Building Better Family
Media Boundaries
A good friend of mine relayed to me recently that "I wish we hadn't been so lax on our technology boundaries with the kids." Their kids all use cell phones, all spend time in their room on laptops or iPads, spend some hours each day either playing video games or watching TV. Believe it or not, it wasn't always this way, but it just…grew, piece by piece. Now, is it possible to turn the clock back? Really?
This friend of mine is not the only one. I know there are many parents who feel as though technology use in their home is out of control, (regardless of how much it is being used), and they simply don't know what they can do about it.
As part of the January Cure, we recently engaged in an overnight "media fast". Fasting is an incredible tool for us to understand what controls us and what effect it has on us. It also gives us a chance to break free from that very thing exerting control over us. What better way to bring healthy habits into a family home than to have a clean, fresh start through something like a media fast.
How do we do this? The first step is to get the whole family on board. It can't just be the kids, it also has to involve Mom and Dad. Remember as parents, you set the tone of your home. It's no good if Mom is caught playing a video game, and Dad Facebooking. Everybody sits down together to talk about it, and sets a particular time limit and together puts away technology for that time.
The second step is to replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones. Make the "fast" fun! Bake cookies together, go hiking, make music together. Think about what your family would love to do, what would energize you as a group and do it. Do something truly special in that time.
The third is to review your experience of fasting from technology. What was hard? What went well? What might you change as a result. Talking together is key.
Last of all, then, is to propose to the family a new plan for technology use, considering the different needs of family members, which includes the need for boundaries. An old monk once said the most effective fasting is "eating a little less than one would like, every day." This is the same with techology. The best way to control it, is to use it just a little less than you would like. It will feel uncomfortable. There will probably be tantrums. But in the end, I'd be surprised if they weren't more active, more engaged, more creative people as a result.
Has your family ever taken a break from technology? How did you go about it? What were the results? Share your story below!

This is SO true, electronics and technology, in general has been allowed to take over our lives and so many of us have substituted it for our minds and thus have forgotten how to even think for ourselves.
I see people always checking their phones when out in public, or sit down at a bar and whip out their phones and place them on the counter etc.
It's easy to get sucked into the internet etc while at home, though I would agree that a complete fast may not be ideal, but a reduction of its use is, because some of us live where we have secured entrances, and thus need to answer the phone to let people in, but then turn the screen off and put it away when done, not oh I need to check my facebook page, or see whom have texted me etc.
These are all good suggestion, be it a family, or just the two of you.
Ugh. My husband bought our 8 yr old an iPod touch for his birthday a few months ago, and a round of dynamite couldn't loosen his grip on this thing (when he told me his plans I was adamantly against it- we had gotten him a screenless mini-shuffle mp3 player the previous christmas- WHYYY another ipod?). In the meantime, my husband has trouble sleeping and the first thing he does when he wakes up in the middle of the night is turn on his iPhone, which wakes ME up with it's day-like brightness. This is especially bad because I get up to nurse our baby a few times each night. I haven't had a good sleep in forever. BUT if I tell him that the cellphone is keeping me up and exacerbating his own sleeplessness boy do I get an earful. I'm not perfect either (too much tumblr/ effbook/ internet) so i've been thinking of detaching myself from facebook first, because I am up to here with it. At least on tumblr I'm looking at/sharing art, so it's "inspiration" for me. Maybe if I promise my husband I'll stop the facebook, he might leave his iPhone in the kitchen at night. Fingers crossed.
Our family recently initiated a screen-free work and school week (from Monday AM until Friday after school, at which time it's OK to play a computer game or watch something). It is definitely important in our circumstance that we all participate and respect the rule, which is for recreational screen-time; research or work are OK in moderation. I'm hearing that for families with teens, this kind of ban is tough because school work is increasingly computer based, and the use of social media creeps in so easily. I like the reading and listening to music that are happening more as a result. We're also playing games together more regularly.
My cousin has two teen daughters and I think she handels it marvelously.
First of all: No phones at the table. At all. They stay outside the kitchen or they are confiscated at least until the same meal on the next day. Aparently she only had to do that a couple of times until her daughters (and husband) realised she meant buisness.
Second of all: Phones stay turned off during sleeptime. When that didn't work very well with her daughters for lack of control, she upgraded it to "They stay on the landingstripe during sleeptime".
Thirdl: No TV in the bedrooms. The only TV of the household is in the living room.
Fourth: No more than X hours of internet per day for her daughters and not after 10:30. Of course this can be a bit circumvented by using the cellphone, but still.
I think I'll have similar rules when I have kids. ;-)
The recent movie theatre tragedy where the ex police officer shot the man for texting should be a red flag for what this electronic technology is doing to us. The guy was texting where he should not have been, he was asked to stop. He felt entitled to keep doing it, the other guy cracked. Sickening. I think it is frightening how technology has taken over . We are all working too hard with our phones and tablets at our sides 24/7 ready to jump at the first chance to reply to a message. Society has made it that way. Its so sad too because there are multiple generations of people that have had no chance to learn basic skills like cooking, cleaning, sewing, gardening, or using tools and basic carpentry skills while they have been sucked into an electronic frenzy that is not going away. I applaud parents for keeping this stuff in check, it is a huge task and responsibility. I have friends with kids and see this challenge they face.
We just purchased a Skydog router which allows us to control wifi use by individual family members. Set up can be a bit of a pain, but you can set time restrictions, website restrictions, track website use, etc. I don't often recommend products to people (especially unasked), but I do this one.
GREAT post =)
Growing up in a rural area, we were mostly away from technology. I attended an outdoor camp every summer (2 or 3 weeks) we had no computers, no cell phones, and if we wanted to use a land line we had to ask permission.
Kids need to get outdoors more today. I feel I'm very much the better for it.
You said it, Mo86!
At a concert I attended recently, some twenty-something's came in late and began to take pictures with their phones. Of course, management had instructed the audience not to take photographs at the beginning, but where were they? They could not bother to show up on time and then talked and used their phones throughout the performance. They were sitting in front of me and I, indeed, felt the rage. I did tell the guy sitting directly in front of me that taking pictures was not allowed, but to no avail.
And don't get me started with what I see and hear in restaurants! People need to get a grip, and, parents, it has to start somewhere. Rant done.
Could he at least be open to turning down the screen brightness at night? My husband and I both do this so the light doesn't wake us. Also, you're totally right; that blue-ish light really interupts sleep patterns (clinically proven). I also had to ask him to silence the phone so that the notifications weren't waking me anymore. The alarm still goes off at normal volume so no issues there.
My brother has three kids. They have an additional issue in that one of the children is physically disabled, and using a computer/playing video games are some of the few leisure activities he can do by himself--can't play most outside games, limited fine motor control means he can't roll dice, move board game pieces, hold cards, connect Legos, etc.. So they have the added complication of letting him use the computer for both work and play, while still being fair to the other two kids.
What they do is make the kids earn "screen" time. The computer can be used for homework if needed. After that, if they want to watch tv (Netflix, DVDs), play video games, use their Nintendo DSs or Ipod Touches, they have to earn the time.
They earn 1/2 hour when they finish their homework. They get 15 minutes for every 1/2 hour they spend outside. Doing their daily chores gets them another 15 minutes. Reading for 1/2 hour gets them 15 minutes. Helping Mom or Dad around the house earns them more time. My estimate is that on an average school day, the most they earn is an hour. And their parents keep them plenty busy on the weekends, so they have other things to do.
The kid with the disabilities--he reads a lot. Which gets him more screen time.
I don't think eliminating the technology is the way to go. You need to teach the kids how to use it responsibly. (And there are probably a few adults who need to learn that lesson as well.)
I don't have kids, but my husband and I feel like we spend too much time with electronic media so we've decided to go without it every Wednesday- no movies, phones, or computers in the evening. Feels good so far. :)
In all fairness, for someone deranged, like that cop, if it hadn't been the texting, it would have been something else. Mentally balanced people do not snap at specifically electronic discourtesies.
Also, I'm sure the point you made is true, but for some people the internet has provided an opportunity to learn basic skills like cooking, cleaning, sewing, gardening, and using tools for car and home maintenance which their upbringing failed to provide. Like me. It's all a matter of personal responsibility, you can't very well blame the internet for the choices you make in how you use it.
I use a tablet everyday to check my email and bloglovin many times a day. I also run three tumblrs, which I queue up at the beginning of the month. It takes a whole day but then I don't have to worry about it for the rest of the month, this works for me. I deleted my facebook, myspace, and twitter because tumblr pretty much serves those purposes and I never used them anyway to talk to the people I know, or don't know. It's also a comfort to me that my information isn't being mined from those sites. Bloglovin is probably my biggest indulgence, but then, I have to go through around 250 blog posts a day, and the useful ones I pin to Pinterest. I don't surf sites anymore. I leave skype on whenever I'm at home to "hang out" with my SO, we live separately and he works a lot. But these things ultimately enhance my life, they don't distract me from it, because I choose to invest my time in what is beneficial to me instead of what is not. Aside from all this, I'm not so dense that I don't know when these things are inappropriate, and when my attention is supposed to be on something else.
This is an excellent post. In our house, we have "no technology" day once a week, on Sunday. The rest of the week, our kids can have an hour a day of computer time. I know this seems like a lot to some people, but we don't have cable so we don't watch TV, so this is all the screen time they get, other than family movie nights.
We've had some interesting developments lately in that both of our kids, who are six and nine years old, spent most of last year saving all their allowances and birthday money to buy themselves iPods. Recently, they finally saved enough to get them, and I was worried that the screen time was going to get out of control, but so far they seem to respect the one-hour rule.
The other development is that, while initially all they wanted to do was play games like Minecraft and Angry Birds, now my oldest has been asking for extra computer time to teach himself to code, and my youngest wants more access to his iPod because he's gotten into digital photography and movie-making. It's easy to have a strict tech curfew when it comes to gaming, but what about when kids start exploring the creative and productive aspects if technology? I don't know the answer to this question, and I suspect that it's such a new question that no one really knows the answer. To some degree, we're all just making it up as we go along and trying to parent our kids through these new waters as gracefully as possible... though snarky comments like those made by some people in this comment thread certainly don't help.
For what it's worth, I'm trying to think about tech as being just one part of a healthy "developmental diet". So long as my kids are getting enough exercise, time with friends, non-tech playtime, and time with me and my husband, I'm going to try not to get too stressed about it.
While tragic, we shouldn't pretend that the root of the problem here was the texting or the technology. Angry people find a way to do harm to others. There are stories of people harming others because of property lines or newspaper deliveries or loud pets.
Susan Maushart wrote a wonderful book call The Winter of our Disconnect, about disconnecting from all digital media at home for several months with 3 teenagers, I think they had a CD player but no iPods, computers, tv, cellphones. It's a fascinating read to see how she and her teenagers adjusted and learned a lot about themselves in the process. If you're interested in examining the frequency and the way in which you use digital media, it offers an interesting perspective.
Retreading your comment, I'm curious, on your "no technology" day, do you not use the stove, flush the toilet, or drive a car? Or do you mean no screen time day?
@fauxfaux: We call it "no technology" day, but we really mean "no computers" day. I don't know how that happened, but it is what it is.

June 03, 2012, 3:41 PM — Break out the champagne and put on your party hats: A software heavyweight just struck a major blow for the concept of Privacy by Design.
Microsoft has elected to release Internet Explorer 10.0 with Do Not Track as the default setting. Microsoft Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch blogged about the decision here. He said, in part:
We believe that consumers should have more control over how information about their online behavior is tracked, shared and used. Online advertising is an important part of the economy supporting publishers and content owners and helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to go to market. There is also value for consumers in personalized experiences and receiving advertising that is relevant to them.
Of course, we hope that many consumers will see this value and make a conscious choice to share information in order to receive more personalized ad content. For us, that is the key distinction. Consumers should be empowered to make an informed choice and, for these reasons, we believe that for IE10 in Windows 8, a privacy-by-default state for online behavioral advertising is the right approach.
While both Chrome and Firefox have Do Not Track capabilities built in, they're turned off by default. Microsoft is making its mark by turning that setting on. Safari also blocks tracking cookies by default, but who outside of the Mac universe uses Safari?
The online advertising industry reacted about the way you'd expect -- by implying that if we don't all let advertisers follow us around the Web jotting down every site we visit and what we do there, the "free" Internet will shrivel up and die.
The Digital Advertising Alliance, a consortium of online ad networks and data gatherers that has been pushing for self-regulation of Web tracking for the past several years (and was apparently blindsided by Microsoft's announcement), issued a vigorous response. Here's the money quote:
The DAA is very concerned that this unilateral decision by one browser maker - made without consultation within the self-regulatory process - may ultimately narrow the scope of consumer choices, undercut thriving business models, and reduce the availability and diversity of the Internet products and services that millions of American consumers currently enjoy at no charge.

What is BM Tone-Up Gold?
This all-natural supplement is uniquely designed to address the digestive system of a cat when there is occasional imbalance. A cats specific needs are addressed in this comprehensive formula.
What is BM Tone-Up Gold used for?
Whether there has been dietary indiscretion or another common, potential cause for the imbalance to the digestive system, BM Tone-Up Gold supports both the immune system and the gastrointestinal system of your cat. The results should be a more normal transit time of food and water through the digestive tract, less frequent urges, and solid bowel movements.
The digestive tract is one of the body's main areas of defense to deal with foreign microbes and irritants of all kinds. Occasionally, our cats will ingest or be exposed to articles they are not able to digest properly. Their bodys natural mechanisms work to expel the matter by increasing the muscle contractions of the intestines and flushing out the system. Because motility time is increased, the body does not have time to absorb as much water and the stools become more liquid. BM Tone-Up Gold targets the causes of this reaction and soothes the mucosal lining of the digestive tract.
Cat diarrhea is a very common problem and has many causes
- Mild food poisoning from eating spoiled food
- Changes in diet
- Viral infections
- Parasites
- Stress
In many cases, the cat simply has a very sensitive stomach, or is reacting to stressful events such as a changed environment.
Extra tips:
- Ensure that your pet has constant access to fresh water.
- Note that bowel changes may also be a sign of food intolerance, sensitivity or allergy.
- Be sure your pet is not overeating.
- Do not feed your pet spoiled food.
- Remove access to garbage or toxic substances.
- If the condition persists or becomes severe, seek veterinary assistance immediately.

- Oregon Grape root (Berberis aquifolium)**: This common North American herb has a specific affinity for the digestive system. It assists the normal function of the liver to pull toxicities from the blood as it passes through the liver. It also supports the muscles of the intestines to contract in a normal, smooth rhythm that is not spastic and uncomfortable.
- Red Raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus)*: One of the main herbs to tone and astringe the smooth lining of the intestines due to its tannin content. It may also work to normalize excess secretions, such as mucous. It is high in minerals and contains a naturally occurring amount of Vitamin C. This gentle herb's action on the muscles makes it useful for erratic muscle contractions.
- Bayberry root (Myrica cerifera)**: A specific herb for this formula, Bayberry has a dual action to address potential microbes that may have entered the body through dietary indiscretion and also has a high tannin content to address the affects and possible excess mucous, within the digestive lining.
- Mullein leaf (Verbascum thapsus)**: With uses in many different areas of the body, Mullein's inclusion in this formula is to impart an action on the lining and muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, it has been used for lymphatic circulation and when there is excess mucous production in the body.
- Agrimony herb (Agrimonia eupatoria)**: Another plant containing tannins (astringent). Agrimony supports the digestive tract's normal tone and assimilation of food.
- Marshmallow root (Althea officinalis)*: The root of this plant contains high mucilage content and it is this constituent that provides a soothing action to the mucous membranes.
- Myrrh resin (Commiphora mol-mol): Due to its strong taste, only a small amount can be used in this formula, but its inclusion is exceedingly helpful for cats when foreign microbes enter the body.
- Thyme leaf (Thymus vulgaris)*: A common kitchen herb, a small amount of Thyme combines well with Myrrh to address similar issues.
- Ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinalis)*: In many formulas, the addition of a little Ginger increases the formula's ability to circulate where it is most needed. It also helps with nausea and digestion.
...400 mg per ml (20 drops/ml)
Herbs are *certified organic or **ethically wild harvested.
Inactive Ingredients: Deionized water, natural bacon flavor, vegetable glycerin

Cop who shot Ramarley Graham won't be indicted
A Bronx grand jury refused to indict a police officer Wednesday who fatally shot an unarmed teenager in his own home last year.
Richard Haste and other undercover officers investigating a drug deal chased 18-year-old Ramarley Graham into his home in Wakefield on Feb. 2, 2012, when they thought he had a gun in his waistband.
After shooting Graham, Haste was charged with manslaughter. The original indictment was dismissed in May after a Supreme Court judge ruled Bronx prosecutors should have told the grand jury to consider that other officers informed Haste that Graham had a gun.
Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said prosecutors were "surprised and shocked" that the grand jury did not indict Haste on Wednesday.
"We are saddened for the family of the deceased young man and still believe that the court's dismissal of the original indictment was overly cautious," Robert said in a statement.
Patrolmen's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said the grand jury "courageously came to the right and proper decision."
"This grand jury recognized that police officer Haste was pursuing what he had every reason to believe was a man with a gun," Lynch said in a statement. "He was facing the same imminent danger that all police officers face as we fight to rid our neighborhoods of dangerous, illegal guns."
Graham's family vowed to continue their fight for justice after hearing the news.
"The justice system is making the same mistake again. I am in a state of shock that with all the evidence put in front of the grand jury, they had the nerve to let my son's killer off [scot]-free," Constance Malcolm wrote in a Facebook post to friends and supporters Wednesday night.
Graham's familly will speak about the grand jury's decision in front of the Bronx District Attorney's Office on Thursday afternoon with the Rev. Al Sharpton and supporters.

When Jaycee Dugard finally turned up after all these years since her abduction, the internet has been swamped with searches for photos of Jaycee Dugard as an adult. Now People Magazine has Jaycee Dugard's photo on their cover. Read more about Jaycee's life being imprisoned by her captor and her life now below.
Jaycee Dugard has released a statement to People magazine and also photos of herself as an adult.
So after all those years of being held captive, how is Jaycee's life today?
These days Jaycee and her daughters are living with Jaycee's mother, Terry Probyn, 50, a middle school secretary.
Jaycee at age 29 looks very young. Her daughters Angel and Starlit apparently had no idea their mother had been kidnapped, and also don't understand why Garrido is now under arrest and charged, along with his wife, on 29 counts, including kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment.
The girls both knew him as "Dad".
From People Magazine:
Garrido has a long history of violence and troubling behavior. Raised in Brentwood, Calif., he became obsessed with LSD in high school; his father, Manuel Garrido, told reporters the drug "killed my son," changing him forever. In 1976 Garrido kidnapped Reno casino worker Katherine Callaway Hall, locked her in a warehouse unit and raped her. "He said, 'Don't fight and you won't get hurt,'" recalls Hall. "He had a far-off empty look in his eyes, like I was a thing." A police officer saw Garrido's car outside the warehouse at 2:30 a.m. and banged on the door; Hall heard him and shouted. Garrido was convicted on federal kidnapping charges and sentenced to 50 years in jail.
But he served only 11 before being released. Three years later young Jaycee Dugard, wearing a pink windbreaker and white sneakers, was dragged into a gray sedan as her stepfather watched. "I heard Jaycee scream, and she was gone," he told PEOPLE in 1991 (see box). In fact, she apparently had been taken to a scruffy, semirural neighborhood 35 miles northeast of Oakland that is rarely patrolled by local police. Garrido and his wife, Nancy, whom he met while he was in prison, lived in a three-bedroom, 1,457-sq.-ft. home owned by his mother. Remarkably, many of his neighbors claim they did not know children were on the property. "I was always mowing and working back there, and I never heard anything except cats," says a man who rents a cottage next door. In November 2006 another neighbor called police to report that people were living in tents behind Garrido's home. But the officer who came never entered the house or the yard. "We are beating ourselves up over this," Contra Costa County sheriff Warren Rupf said. "There are absolutely no excuses."
Others in the area knew Garrido lived with children but thought nothing of it. One friend often spoke with Jaycee, who Garrido called Allissa, about Printing 4 Less, the business she helped him run from the house. The friend also heard Garrido talking to the younger children and "drilling it into their heads every day that, 'You love it here. You love me. You don't want to go away.'" But with even limited freedom, why didn't Jaycee ever tell anyone until now that she'd been kidnapped? "Many kidnap victims of any age bond with the people who abduct them," says Ernie Allen of the NCMEC. "It's very difficult for any human being to be angry and desperate year after year. Jaycee figured out how to survive."
Others who encountered Jaycee and her daughters say something seemed off about them. Garrido would bring the younger girls with him to the local Kmart. When shopping alone, "he'd buy sex things like vibrator cream," says cashier Survitrius Honeycutt. "The older girl was very clingy with him, and neither one would say anything. They didn't have any expression."
It was this strange demeanor that, in part, led to their rescue. Garrido apparently believed himself to be a powerful messenger of God and even set up a church in his basement. "How many people are in your church?" Cheyvonne Molino remembers asking the girls. "There are five of us," one of them replied. "Our dad is the minister." Garrido also invented a machine he told others allowed people to hear his thoughts. On Aug. 25 he turned up on the campus of UC Berkeley with Starlit and Angel to get a permit for an event in which he planned to spread his message. Lisa Campbell, 40, UCPD's manager of special events, saw the group and noticed the girls "were nonresponsive; they didn't have the energy that children of their age generate," she later explained. Campbell called in Ally Jacobs, a security officer, who said the girls spoke in "a monotone. It was almost like Little House on the Prairie meets robots."
Jacobs ran a background check on Garrido, turning up his record. She called his parole officer, and on Aug. 26 Garrido was summoned to a parole office in Concord; inexplicably he arrived with his wife, Jaycee and the girls. "They took Jaycee in another room and she told them the whole story," says her stepgrandmother Wilma Probyn. Not much later, police called Jaycee's mother, Terry, with the news and put her daughter on the phone to speak with her. "Jaycee told her she remembers everything," says Carl Probyn, who split with Terry 10 years ago and hadn't spoken with his stepdaughter. "Then Jaycee told her, 'I have babies.' 'You have babies? How many?' And Jaycee said, 'Two.'"
Probyn says Jaycee's reunion with her mother has not gone entirely smoothly. "They are just trying to bond," he says. "It will take years to straighten this out." While reconnecting with her mother and her sister Shana, who's now in college, Jaycee will also have to deal with feelings towards Garrido "that are probably mixed," says Juliet Francis, a psychologist who consults with the NCMEC. "She's still going to miss being in a situation that's familiar. She will need therapy and lots and lots of support. She will need time to adjust to being back in her own skin." For now, Jaycee's children remain in her care; no one can say for sure what will happen to them down the road.
"I'm so happy to be back with my family," Jaycee told People magazine.

I ordered 3 of these for my take-a-long knitting. I had purchased another one at a vendor mart for quilting projects and it was just the ticket. This bag is a bit stiff and plastic-y but it works ok. The zipper pull gets turned, so often I have to struggle with that. I am hoping they will soften with time.

I wanted a bag that could hold drill bits and that was transparent for easy spotting in my tool chest. This works and has been strong enough to far to avoid punctures from the bits. I haven't found any problems with it yet.

Good case for my laptop, charger, & misc items when I'm working the cleanroom environment. The last one I had lasted over a year and the corners started to wear. This was expected for a low cost item.

Defensemen Ryan Donald and Alain Goulet Head to ECHL
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, entering their 19th season in the American Hockey League, today announced that defensemen Ryan Donald and Alain Goulet have been assigned to the ECHL's Reading Royals.
Donald, 24, leaves Providence without having appeared in a game for the P-Bruins this season. The defenseman signed an AHL contract with Providence on September 17 after making his professional debut late in 2009-10 with the Springfield Falcons. Donald appeared in three games for Springfield while tallying his first pro point with an assist following his senior season with the Yale University Bulldogs. At Yale, the St. Albert, Alberta, native totaled 24 points, including five goals and 19 assists, along with 231 penalty minutes over 123 contests.
Goulet, 22, appeared in one game for Providence this season, going scoreless in the club's opening night loss to Springfield. The blue-liner spent his entire rookie season in 2009-10 with the P-Bruins, scoring 18 points, including three goals and 15 assists, in 71 games. Prior to turning pro, Goulet enjoyed parts of two seasons in college with the University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks from 2007-08, before then spending a portion of the 2008-09 campaign in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with the Gatineau Olympiques. He was selected by the Boston Bruins 159th overall in round six of the 2007 National Hockey League Entry Draft.
With the moves, the P-Bruins' roster is now comprised of 24 players, including 14 forwards, seven defensemen and three goaltenders.
Providence gets back into action with three games this weekend, beginning Friday at 7:05 p.m. against Springfield for Hat Night. Hats are free to the first 2,000 fans. On Saturday, the P-Bruins travel to New Hampshire to face the Manchester Monarchs at 7 p.m. The weekend wraps up on Sunday as Providence hosts the Hartford Wolf Pack at 4:05 p.m. for Magnet Schedule Night. Magnets are free to the first 1,000 in attendance.
P-Bruins ticket packages and individual game tickets are on sale now for the 2010-11 season. To purchase tickets or for more information, call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.

Covering all things agriculture; high-brow, low-brow and all points in between.
Cults love farmland. Stick a cult leader with a pained look, greasy beard, saffron robe, and 10 pounds of beads in an apartment complex – and he and his 10 followers will be given a paddy wagon escort to the nuthouse within weeks. It'll be a life sentence of Nurse Ratched and saltpeter. But stick him on farmland and his dour expression will disappear. He'll be wearing a Cheshire grin and draped in even heavier beads; declaring free love; keeping an army of crackpots hanging on every cosmic pronouncement; and hauling in enough cash to choke a dozen donkeys.
Case in point: In 1981, in one of the most bizarre episodes in U.S. history, the Rajneeshee cult bought 64,000 acres of farm and ranch land, and hatched an unparalleled scheme of bioterror, assassination and voter fraud.
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh built up a solid cult following in India during the 1970s by promoting the sensual over the ascetic. (Sort of a more sex, less meditation approach. It made all the other cult leaders wonder why they hadn't thought of it first.) When he decided to go big-time, his main lackey, Ma Anand Sheela, found 64,000 pristine acres in Wasco County, Ore., where Rajneesh could feed his ambition, erect a city and house thousands of disciples: buy it, build it, bask in utopia.
Life on the "farm" was good for Rajneesh. He set up shop on the spread, serenely surrounding himself with a Peace Force brigade that patrolled "Rajneeshpuram" with Uzis and a mounted .30-cal. machine gun. He also enjoyed a few toys – 93 Rolls Royces were kept in waiting. (Nothing like a little opulence to break up the toil of meditation and blessing the masses.)
From Slate: "Some 7,000 followers moved onto the ranch, where they all wore red, worked on the communal farms and helped build the community. Rajneeshpuram grew to include a 4,200-foot airstrip, a fire department, restaurants, a public transport system using buses, and a sewage reclamation plant. It even had its own zip code: 97741."

But karma can be a stubborn beast. When toady Sheela bought the land, she didn't reckon on government regulations and building codes. Rajneeshpuram could only grow so big – no permits, no shining city.
What to do? From Les Zaitz' excellent account in The Oregonian: "The Rajneeshees found that the law did allow some new homes, but only for farmworkers and their families. Sheela homed in on that exemption when she met with Wasco County planners in summer 1981 … They told the assembled officials they planned to operate a farm commune. Workers would be brought in to restore abused rangeland. They needed dwellings to house the workers."
The city planners weren't buying the story and when they asked if the Rajneeshees were religious, Sheela threw out the old fail-safe line, taking cover in agriculture, "We are simple farmers." (Ich ben ein farmer.) When the farming ploy was rejected, Sheela unleashed what many consider the wildest attack on local elections in U.S. history – sort of a Sherman's March on Wasco County government. They would try to gain control of the board of commissioners by rigging the vote and electing one of their own through Salmonella politics.
From The Atlantic: "They hatched a two-pronged plan. First, the Rajneeshees would try to depress turnout among regular voters by poisoning thousands of residents with Salmonella, thus incapacitating them on Election Day. Second, the group would round up thousands of homeless people from nearby cities, entice them with promises of food and shelter, and register them to vote."
Their first option was poisoning the county water supply, but they weren't sure of the logistics. (Sheela had built a makeshift lab in Rajneeshpuram to concoct viruses, bacteria and toxins.) They also considered flying an airplane (with a full load of bombs) into the county courthouse. Instead, the Rajneeshees chose a hands-on method in September 1984. From The Atlantic: "… teams of two left the compound, traveled to nearby restaurants … and, when nobody was looking, poured Salmonella-tainted liquid on items in the salad bar. The Rajneeshees hit a total of 10 restaurants, as well as a handful of other public areas. Within hours, emergency rooms were flooded with sick patients. A total of 751 people were stricken with Salmonella poisoning in what is still the largest bioterrorism attack in American history. Miraculously, no one died."
They kicked off the second part the plan by chartering buses in cities across the U.S. and bringing in several thousand homeless men with promises of beer and plenty to eat. The homeless scheme imploded when the Rajneeshees discovered "many of the homeless had serious mental problems." (Pot, meet kettle.) According to Zaitz, the Rajneeshees were reduced to adding tranquilizers to beer served to their homeless guests in an effort to maintain order.
When the Rajneeshees tried to assassinate the U.S. attorney for Oregon and the state attorney general, the legal noose finally tightened. Sheela was later collared and sentenced to 20 years – serving two.
Rajneesh threw Sheela under the bus, essentially claimed to be an enlightened dupe, and got off with deportation. He'd been too busy enjoying the latitude of free love, motoring in his fleet of Rolls, and of course – being a "simple farmer."

The man who would be king hates GM crops.
Prince Charles has been waiting in the weeds to become king longer than any other prince in history. OK, not true, but it sure seems like it, and when your mother is 88 and can lick you in a sprint, you're probably gonna be waiting a whole lot longer. Piling on, his grandma lived to be 101.
Safe money says Charles has a lot of time on his hands – enough to confuse scientific expertise with an accident of birth.
The latest news headlines are filled with stories of Charles pushing his anti-GM and climate change views through government channels and attempting to influence UK officials. No big surprise; he rolled out his view on GM crops and science long ago. His 2010 book "Harmony" was aimed at "the great juggernaut of industrialization" and he picked and chose his science at a rate befitting a royal trapped in a gilded echo chamber.
Whenever Charles speaks about science, he leaves a not-so-subtle scent of burning martyr hanging in the air, and seems to believe his view of science and "Harmony" are messianic fulfillments: "My entire reason for writing this book is that I feel I would be failing in my duty to future generations and to the Earth itself if I did not attempt to point this out and indicate possible ways we can heal the world."
In 2008, acting as a self-appointed green prince, he accused agriculture corporations of a "gigantic experiment I think with nature and the whole of humanity which has gone seriously wrong."
He wants to go back to a world of traditional farming and traditional breeds – and he equates any GM deviation with the road to hell. "And if they think it's somehow going to work because they are going to have one form of clever genetic engineering after another then again count me out, because that will be guaranteed to cause the biggest disaster environmentally of all time."
Spouting rantings that only a royal could get away with, he once attributed Indian farmer suicides to "the failure of many GM crop varieties," despite studies and stubborn facts to the contrary. Rarely does Charles miss an opportunity to hammer climate-change deniers and bash any dissent as medieval, yet finds no incongruity with his own stance on genetically modified crops.
But then again, this is the same Charles that recommended coffee enemas as a cancer remedy. (But don't forget the enemas must be chased with 13 shots of fruit juice per day and vitamin injections every week.) Fair to say that if Charles gets seriously ill, he probably won't be calling for his footmen to come running with a can of Folgers and an enema bulb.
Where's your pain relief medicine grown?
When a helicopter pilot spotted a series of furrows in a clearing halfway up a mountainside in the depths of Siberia, he lifted the veil on one of the most astonishing tales of isolation and survival in history.
Agriculture, no matter how primitive, is the telltale mark of human presence, especially in Siberia's 5-million square mile blanket of emptiness, and when the Russian helicopter crew (on an iron ore scouting run in 1978) reported the sighting, they were met with disbelief. The clearing, 150 miles from any settlement, was off the grid — truly in the back of beyond — and entirely unknown to any Russian authority.
A team of four geologists, camped roughly 10 miles away, were given the location of the clearing and set off on foot to find out exactly what the pilot had glimpsed. What they found was a scene locked in a 44-year freeze — a family tucked away and hidden from the world and forgotten by time.
Smithsonian relates testimony from one of the geologists, Galina Pismenskaya, as the team first walked up on a decrepit hovel beside a stream: "… the hut was piled up on all sides with taiga rubbish — bark, poles, planks. If it hadn't been for a window the size of my backpack pocket, it would have been hard to believe that people lived there. But they did, no doubt about it … Our arrival had been noticed, as we could see. The low door creaked, and the figure of a very old man emerged into the light of day, straight out of a fairy tale. Barefoot. Wearing a patched and repatched shirt made of sacking. He wore trousers of the same material, also in patches, and had an uncombed beard."
For the Smithsonian article written by Mike Dash, see For 40 Years, This Russian Family Was Cut Off From All Human Contact, Unaware of World War II
The man, Karp Lykov, had been concealed in absolute isolation in the wilds of Siberia for 42 years — and he wasn't alone. Pismenskaya continues: "The silence was suddenly broken by sobs and lamentations. Only then did we see the silhouettes of two women. One was in hysterics, praying: 'This is for our sins, our sins.' The other, keeping behind a post … sank slowly to the floor. The light from the little window fell on her wide, terrified eyes … "
The geologists had found a family of five nearing starvation: Karp, sons Savvin, 45, and Dmitry, 36; and daughters Natalya, 42, and Agafya, 34. Karp's wife had died 17 years earlier in 1961.
The Lykovs were members of the "Old Believers," a fundamentalist Russian Orthodox sect, and Karp led his family (wife and only two children at the time) into Siberia in 1936 after communist soldiers murdered his brother just outside the family village. Karp grabbed what belongings he could, gathered up his family and kept going deeper and deeper into the wilderness — the realm of Gulags and merciless terrain. The communists didn't follow and the Lykov family was forgotten, almost hermetically sealed from any outside contact.
There are many survival/isolation tales that astound: the 1972 Andes plane crash survivors; Ernest Shackleton's two-year Antarctic odyssey; the 1819 whaleship Essex disaster; Victor Aveyron's feral childhood in the 18th century; Alexander Selkirk's solitude on Juan Fernandez; and scores of other stunners. Yet outside of the Lykov family, no account features the mix of a 40-year duration, primal existence and religious fervor.
The shocking degree of seclusion and removal from basic societal awareness was immediately evident when Pimenskaya asked the Lykovs if they had ever eaten bread. Karp answered, "I have, but they have not. They have never seen it."
Their existence was dependent on extreme subsistence farming with a diet based on "potato patties mixed with ground rye and hemp seeds." (Their clothing was made from garden hemp production.) With no firearms or bows, game was difficult to catch and the Lykovs repeatedly came to close to starvation. Karp's wife, Akulina, died from malnutrition in 1961, and the rest of the family only survived when "… a single grain of rye sprouted in their pea patch. The Lykovs put up a fence around the shoot and guarded it zealously night and day to keep off mice and squirrels. At harvest time, the solitary spike yielded 18 grains, and from this they painstakingly rebuilt their rye crop."
Even after discovery, the Lykovs refused to return to their old village or let go of the past. In 1981, Savvin, Natalya and Dmitry died in succession; followed by Karp in 1988.
Agafya, born in unexplored Siberia, is still living there — alone — roughly 70 years old. Even for her, the isolation takes a harsh toll and in a recent letter she has called on the Russian government to send someone to live with her — yet she won't leave. From her letter, excerpted in The Siberian Times: "We prayed together, and only went out to do outside works after prayers. And whatever else others were doing, one of us was forever inside, to keep reading our prayers. We prayed together during holidays. And now everything is on me, both the prayers and the household."
Agafya will keep her "Old Believer" vigil to her dying breath. After 70 years in Siberia, the last of the Lykovs is going nowhere.

The next time you reach for a painkiller, the pill you pop probably came from a farmer's field filled with pink and white flowers on the other side of the world.
The poppy fields of Tasmania provide the opiates for almost half the global supply of pain relief drugs. Whether codeine or cough syrup, the arsenal in your medicine cabinet likely is derived from 62,000 acres of Tasmanian poppies. (Tasmanian poppy acreage is dwarfed by Afghanistan's 500,000 acres and Burma's 100,000 acres, but that harvest feeds the opium and heroin trade.)
Opiate paste is obtained from a poppy's capsule and a few inches of the upper stem. The dried paste and poppy material essentially goes into the manufacture of morphine, codeine and thebaine — vital to the medical industry. Worth over $100 million to Tasmanian agriculture, poppies are only grown by farmers with special government licenses and manufacturer contracts. Each year, roughly 800 producers farm Tasmania's heavily regulated 62,000 poppy acres — with yield averaging about 1 ton per acre, according to the Poppy Advisory and Control Board.
Poppy farming is a cash cow the Tasmanian agriculture industry wants to keep inside the paddock for as long as possible, but mainland Australia wants a piece of the profit, and acreage expansion to other states would spread risk in case of a lost season or natural disaster. It would also break Tasmania's Australian monopoly.
Tasmanian farmers like Cliff Hingston are digging in. "Everyone that I know is dead against it going outside of Tasmania. It makes you nervous about future investments," he told The Examiner. "If we can't supply it, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but at the moment I think we can. I don't think they have explored the option of storage enough. It's a bit like setting yourself up for a drought; you fill your barns with hay and your silos with grains and they can do it too. All it needs is federal legislation to allow them to store in addition to what they do now.''
Trial plantings are currently underway in Victoria, but the Tasmanian government is calling for a five-year moratorium on interstate expansion. From AM: "Opium is the key ingredient for pain relief drugs such as codeine and morphine. Demand is growing as populations in the developed world age and developing nations get richer. Tasmanian farmers have been growing poppies since the 1960s but the industry is outgrowing the island state and looking to the mainland … There are 13 trial sites across Victoria, involving three companies. One company has also run trials in the Northern Territory. It has Tasmanian growers concerned that their share of the industry is about to shrink."
Arguably the most unique of specialty crops, one factor is certain for poppy farmers: Demand for pharmaceutical painkillers is going nowhere but up. No poppies; no opiates.
Wanna wreck an economy or kill a nation? Just toss several thousand farmers off their land and wait a few years for the country to curdle when the inevitable food supply collapse comes. All it takes is a bit of "farmland redistribution" and a nation's base will go wobbly — sort of like smashing your own ankles with a hammer.
It's a page pulled straight from Robert Mugabe's "How To Destroy Your Own Country" playbook. When Mugabe, dictator forever and a day of Zimbabwe, took power as prime minister in 1980, he inherited a thriving economy backed by a treasure trove of natural resources: coal, iron, gold, platinum, diamonds — and rich farmland.
In a few years, certainly by the 1990s, Mugabe had pulled the economic handbrake and Zimbabwe had reversed course in a smoking one-eighty, fueled by massive corruption, bungled leadership and the whims of a tyrant.
When your country is burning, what to do? For Uncle Robert, he threw on more wood and doubled-down in true avuncular fashion, shuffling the agriculture industry in 2000 by seizing white-owned farms in the name of "land reform" and in a racial game of mix-and-match, reallocating the land to black farmers. But despite Mugabe's posturing, his land grab was not about historical wrongs — it was about Mugabe and his cronies (judges, military leaders, government officials, and loads of Mugabe relatives lining up with open hands) making off with all they could — over 2 million acres of farmland. In short time, most of Zimbabwe's 4,500 white farmers were forcibly removed by Mugabe's henchmen and put on the curb with no compensation. Fist in the air, Mugabe assured Zimbabweans that true change was nearing and in one of the rare occasions of his reign, one of his forecasts actually came true.
Just as Mugabe promised, change indeed soon arrived, dragging with it an absolute economic nightmare.
From the New Republic: "Starting in 2000, Mugabe implemented a land reform program in which thousands of commercial farms were confiscated from their traditional (i.e. white) owners and gifted to Mugabe's friends and cronies. Few of the new owners knew how to run a commercial farm, and some simply fired all the employees and sold the equipment for parts. Agricultural exports, the backbone of Zimbabwe's economy, went into free fall … The cratering of the agriculture sector cascaded through the economy."
Mugabe took a sliding economy and kicked it right off the cliff:
Mugabe's farm snatch has left 2.2 million Zimbabweans currently needing food aid, according to the World Food Programme. Zimbabwe's economy is in shambles, marked by hyper-inflation and a monetary system desperate for cold, hard cash — any currency but its own. The central bank has opened the economy to a jaw-dropping eight currencies: Australian dollar, Botswana pula, British pound, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, South African rand, and U.S. dollar.
Once tagged by Christopher Hitchens as "Africa's Worst Dictator," Mugabe recently turned 90 and paid $5 million to North Korea for two bronze birthday statues; one will beckon to the crowds in the capital city Harare, and the other will feature in his hometown, but neither is supposed to be erected until after he dies. (Zimbabwe may not have money for food, but at least they're paid up when it comes to buying bronze.)
Even as Mugabe ticks into his nineties, age and ineptitude haven't weakened his grip on power — despite monthly predictions to the contrary. Western pressure has held little sway with Mugabe and he tends to relish criticism, as he did in 2003 when the British press compared him to Hitler: "I am still the Hitler of the Time. This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold."
Mugabe has taken a country once described as the "Breadbasket of Africa" and turned it into a state with bare shelves that imports everything. The irony couldn't be much greater in VOA's description of Zimbabwe: "Agriculture in the nation, once a major corn exporter in the region, was decimated by violent state-backed land invasions starting in 2000 that dispossessed white commercial farmers of about 1 million hectares (2.5 million acres).
"Ironically, the nation is importing corn which is now being grown in neighboring countries by the same farmers that it dispossessed."
Robert Mugabe — tyrant to the end.

Data from a new IBM survey reveals we as consumers would be willing to pay more for environmentally friendly energy options if more information could be made available to educate us. The results of this survey, titled "Plugging in the Consumer: Innovating utility business models for the generic viagra rx future," drew its results from consumers in developed nations.
IBM concluded 2/3 of those asked said they'd be more willing to pay a higher premium for these types of options if it could be shown to definitely lower emissions of greenhouse gases. Consumers, said Big Blue, want more of an active hand in energy decision making. Consumers have some footwork to do though in moving towards being more mindful of their energy choices. Only a small percentage globally have taken a hard look at their personal environmental impact. This is coupled with not being able to or not knowing how to choose an electric or gas utility provider which cannot meet their energy desires.
It was also noted by IBM that "the promise of http://africa-info.org/levitra-tablets-sale reduced energy costs would impact how and viagra tablets when consumers heat and cool their homes, do their laundry and cook their meals." This, plus the desire to see a positive environmental impact from changes, are thrusting consumers into what is being called a "plug in" role in which we more actively engage in choosing the energy we use and how it effects the world around us.

OXNARD, Calif.– The Cowboys continued their 2013 training camp Wednesday evening with an intense practice. This year, Jason Garrett's new schedule gives even more time between the lighter morning walk-through and the afternoon practice.
Each night, DallasCowboys.com will feature the second practice of the day with the big news, the highs and lows and notable standouts.
Main Event:The few thousand fans that made it out to practice Wednesday might have noticed No. 98 out there in pads for the defensive line. Players such as
The defensive ends welcomed some needed help in the form of
"It's been a crazy day," Selvie said. "But I'm just excited to be here and be a part of this team. I'm happy for this opportunity."
And if the first day is any indication, Selvie looks like he plans on taking advantage of this opportunity. The pass-rushing end, who was drafted in the seventh round by the Rams in 2010 but has been with the Panthers, Bucs and Jaguars the past two years, had an active day on the field.
"I felt pretty good out there," Selvie said. "I've stayed in shape. And I think this defense is a good fit for me. So it didn't take much for me to learn it. But I know I have a long way to go."
Selvie wasn't the only new face out there on defense. The Cowboys also signed defensive tackle
Both positions have been hit by the injury bug.
Quick Hits:
- All eyes have been on the defensive line due to the rash of injuries along that front. It seemed like there was cause for concern when defensive tackle
Jason Hatcherfell down clutching his leg, but Hatcher said post-practice it was only a cramp. "This weather is kind of tricky, man. You've got to really hydrate more than you think, because it's cool but it's like a sneaky sweat – next thing you know your calf is cramped up … It didn't last very long – it hurt like crap, though."
- Hatcher said he hopes to spend Thursday's off day playing golf at the course adjacent to the Cowboys' camp facility.
- Cowboys legend Michael Irvin showed up at Wednesday's practice to do live remote interviews for the NFL Network. Irvin held court on the sidelines throughout the practice, and he conducted on-camera interviews with
Tony Romoand Dez Bryantafter practice concluded.
- Cowboys coach Jason Garrett raised some eyebrows Wednesday afternoon when he discussed the importance of the Pythagorean Theorem in regard to the wide receiver position. Wide receivers coach Derek Dooley expanded on that Wednesday evening with some mathematics of his own. "It's all about angles in football," he said. "Sometimes you say 'I want you to go 10 yards,' but if you're heading at a sharp 45-degree angle, and they go two stripes, that's really more than 10 yards. So if you don't know if A-squared plus B-squared equals C-squared is, you can't play receiver."
- Asked if 2013 could be a Pro Bowl year for Dez Bryant, Dooley said "It's not my job to predict anything – we're just working on today."
- Bryant said he related better to Dooley because Dooley is a younger coach and can better speak the receiver's language. Asked to break that down, Dooley laughed. "I can't break it down on TV," he said.
- Rookie cornerback
B.W. Webbhad arguably the best moment of his camp when he ended Wednesday night's practice with an interception in full-team drills.
- The National Football Foundation named Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones as one of the charter members of its Leadership Hall of Fame. The NFF created the Leadership Hall of Fame in May to honor individuals who have achieved the highest levels of success and exhibited exceptional leadership qualities. Jones joins George Pyne, the president of IMG Worldwide Sports and Entertainment, as a charter inductee into the NFF Leadership Hall of Fame.
Notable Standouts
Ben Bass – The Cowboys needed a defensive tackle to shift to the outside to end with the injuries, and Bass has answered the call. The good thing about Rod Marinelli's defensive line is that all four players need to be rush men, so the change hasn't been too difficult for Bass, who played with the first team. He made it two straight days with a would-be sack during team drills.
Play of The Day:
There were multiple interceptions to choose from, but the most memorable one came from the starters against a certain receiver who's been virtually unstoppable. The Cowboys worked on two-minute situations when they went to team drills Wednesday. That's usually time for the Dez Bryant show.
This time, though, as Bryant cruised down the sideline on a fade that took him near the end zone, it was
