Are we really all the same?
We are all unique.
Which by definition means, we are all different.
Which, in turn, should mean we're all the same.
But we're not, because we're all unique.
Topics: creativity differences human behavior unique

Apr 19 2013: Hi Lizanne,
It is an interesting and vogue topic. I assume that we are talking about man and woman. What I would do is to differentiate fields in which we are and we are not the same. For example, there are differences in fields of biology, anthropology, psychology; and I think we are the same in the field of sociology, and some others which do not come into my mind right now :)
What do you think?
Apr 19 2013: Hi Jose,
How interesting that you immediately assumed I meant men and women! Admittedly, my statement was ambiguous, but I was actually referring to all people, regardless of gender.
I am a creative spirit, and am passionate about raising my children to be solid, respectful humans capable of communication and expression. They are now at the point where they are looking outwards, and are discovering the differences in those around them, and those differences are magnified by 1000 it seems! I feel humans are all fundamentally different as a result of so many factors (upbringing, environment, genetics, etc.) but don't we all have more or less the same ingredients?
Apr 20 2013: Hi Lizanne,
I assume men and women because the statement starts with "we" and I thought that involved individuals of the same species.
On the other hand, do not worry about expectations of raising your children as you said, they will be different because of environments, personal experiences, and many other contexts. They may have a common cultural background and family education, however, every person is capable to re-think on their ideas and make difference, therefore, I can say that it is imposible that two people think in the same way, they may agree on something which is quite different.

Welcome to the forum. Though I may be slightly guilty as charged. I have a problem with theist that try to force their faith on us through the government and accuse atheist of being without morals. Here is a recent example of what I'm referring to. http://www.alternet.org/belief/151086
Hey Eddie
I also have a problem with those theists. But I can see value in religion, too. Had a ridiculously log debate on twitter with a fellow hell-bound sceptic who can't see value in religion, let alone UU. I think most sceptics/atheists are like that -- they become disillusioned by religion, faith and theism but do not do their homework on religious alternatives. That is why so few people know about Ethical Culture, Reconstructionist Judaism, Unitarian Universalism, Friends, etc.
I think atheists start from the premise that any good religion does can be done secularly. That's as may be, but when it comes to forming community, religion has it all over atheism. Yes, atheists can form communities, but usually don't.
I've started going to my local UU discussion groups and by doing so doubled the number of atheists there. UUism can be pretty much religious. You make do with what you have and keep a low profile.
¿UU? is a religion. Religious community, a combined search for meaning, is the point.
It's just not dogmatic or theistic.
Hi! Glad to see you here.

Only seven nautical miles from the Turkish mainland, and a mere forty square kilometres in size, the island of BOZCAADA (Tenedos) is less militarized and more architecturally homogeneous than neighbouring Gökçeada. Its gently undulating countryside, covered in vineyards, leads to near-deserted sandy beaches and pebbly coves. Lacking great sights as well as the pretensions of other Aegean and Mediterranean islands, it's a place to wander and absorb, as well as eat and drink.
That idyllic picture tempts Turkish holiday-makers and second-home buyers alike, and the island can be quite overrun in summer, when you'll need to book accommodation in advance. Bozcaada's popularity may also prove to be its downfall, however. The little island is struggling with energy and waste issues, and there's talk of dredging the quay to accommodate cruise ships. Meanwhile, Turkish customs opened an office in Bozcaada town in 2012, perhaps preparing for access from nearby Greek islands.
The only real settlement on the island, BOZCAADA MERKEZ, centres on a single, slightly scruffy square, just inland from the taverna-lined quay and its neighbouring castle. A surprisingly elegant town, built on a grid plan along a slight slope, it holds an atmospheric Greek quarter of cobbled streets and old houses shaded by leafy vines.
Among the largest citadels in the Aegean, the enormous castle that dominates the little fishing port and ferry jetty was successively expanded by Byzantine, Genoese, Venetian and Turkish occupiers, and most recently restored in the 1970s.
There's not a lot to see inside its double walls, apart from remnants of two mosques and some Roman pillars, as well as various tombstones and an old army barracks. For anyone interested in geocaching, there's a cache tucked away in a hole within the inner walls.
Bozcaada's most developed beach, Ayazma, 6km southwest of town, offers watersports and sunbeds, plus four restaurants just inland. The next bay west, Sulubahçe, has good broad sand but no parking or facilities, other than a campsite well inland. Beyond, Habbelle is more cramped, with a single snack bar/sunbed franchise.
Inland from Ayazma and its abandoned monastery, another paved road leads southeast past secluded, sandy Beylik cove, and then above small Aqvaryum bay, tucked scenically to one side of the Mermer Burnu cape. Once past Tuzburnu with its lighthouse and sandy if exposed bay, the road swings north on its way back to the port.
Bozcaada wines
Bozcaada wines
Thanks to its breezy climate and volcanic soil, Bozcaada has been famed for its wine ever since the days of Homer – a two-thousand-year-old silver coin struck here bears a bunch of grapes. Around eighty percent of the island's arable land is currently under vine, much of it the traditional grape varieties found only here and on Gökçeada, such as the whites Vasilaki and Çavuş, and the reds Karalahna, Kuntra and Karasakız. The white grapes are extremely sweet, so need to be fermented to almost thirteen percent alcohol. Local red wines tend to be rather tannic; the entire grape is left in the vats throughout the fermentation process.
Of the island's six vintners, Talay, Corvus and Çamlıbağ have the best reputation; all have well-signed tasting boutiques in the Greek quarter. Corvus (wcorvus.com.tr) is the most prestigious, but also overpriced; at the other outlets you can buy decent wines from TL10 a bottle. The Talay tastery has its own wine bar upstairs, with cheese and charcuterie platters accompanying wine by the glass.

Cunningham is president of the Trust for the National Mall. The trust is looking for applicants for its Volunteers-in-Parks program, which educates visitors on the Mall. Applicants should be at least 21 years old, available for a minimum of two days per month in whole- or half-day increments and interested in a long-term commitment.
What is the VIP program?
The Volunteers-in-Parks is a National Park Service program ... and the Trust for the National Mall has been working with the Park Service to expand the number of volunteers we have on the National Mall. So we've added a component called the Roving Docent program to get people out on National Mall answering questions. We have 35 people deployed [from our first class from February 2012], and this is the second class we're inaugurating.
Do VIPs fight over where to get stationed?
In the first class we were fairly specific about supporting the park between 15th and Third streets down by the Capitol. There aren't a lot of monuments there and there's not a lot of rangers walking around, so we wanted to make sure there was coverage there. Our volunteers have been great about engaging the public -- there's a lot people kind of stopping and looking around at maps in that area.
How are VIPs trained?
They spend four Saturdays, eight hours in the classroom where they learn about the park, the history of park, the monuments and memorials, get Red Cross training and security and customer service training.
Is having docent experience and/or American history knowledge a requirement?
We prefer that they have a lot of interest in history, but they don't necessarily have to know National Mall history because we cover that in training. We would like them to have experience in dealing with the public and have experience in public speaking.

Three people were taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries following a rollover accident in Beaumont Wednesday morning.
A police spokesperson on the scene told 12News the accident happened around 6:30 a.m. on Fannett Road near Sarah Street. When officers arrived one of the cars was on fire and a person was trapped in the other vehicle.
The spokesperson said a silver Buick Park Avenue was heading south on Fannett Road and a black Ford Edge Crossover was heading north. A witness told police the driver of the Buick ran a red light and the two vehicles collided.
The impact made the Edge Crossover spin and it clipped a utility electrical box which caused the Edge to flip over.
The driver of the Ford Edge had to be cut out of the vehicle. Two people from the other car were able to get out of the burning car before firefighters arrived to put out the flames.
All three people involved in the accident were taken to Baptist Hospital in Beaumont with what an officer described as non life-threatening injuries.

July 15 is the deadline to apply!
We're seeking a curious, thoughtful, creative leader who wants to lead a movement building effort to make value aligned connections across the United States and Puerto Rico. This person will lead the strategic and operational efforts of IDEA in pursuing its mission while modeling it values. Does this sound like the right opportunity for you or someone you know?
Please share this news along with the Job Announcement and Application with your networks and potential candidates you'd like to see in this role.
We have to move beyond this whole notion that this country and older people have put on you. That you are our future. I say I want you to get beyond that because you are more than our future, you are...
IDEA's pilot Learning Breakthrough Series launched November 2013 in Jackson, Mississippi with eight teams of educators and change makers from across the United States and Puerto Rico. The goal? To come together over the course of 18 months in a deep-dive research process to generate knowledge on a specific question:
What connections and approaches to practice, policy, public narrative and strategy support the meaningful and sustained engagement of all young people and communities in education, while honoring the wisdom and differences of varying local contexts?
The structure of the LBS features three in-person Learning Sessions to identify innovations and solutions, alternating with Action Periods when teams return to their sites to put plans into action. The LBS concludes with a Learning Summit where the findings are presented, published, and shared with media and the broad public.
The teams of educators, community leaders, and youth are from Vermont, New York City, New England, Puerto Rico, Oregon, Mississippi, Minnesota, and a national team of education actors. Organizations involved include The Young People's Project, Nuestra Escuela, Coalition for Education Justice, Urban Youth Collaboration, EdVisions Cooperative, Providence Student Union, Boston Youth Organizing Project, and the Annenberg Institute for School Reform.
The LBS is an outgrowth of our learning over the past two years about collaborative change models pioneered in the health field by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). We had conversations with IHI co-founder Paul Batalden and current IHI Executive Director of Performance Improvement, Robert Lloyd, and realized that the needs IHI saw in the healthcare field are similar to what's needed now in education: many practitioners (in our case teachers and students) are dissatisfied with current policy and practice and want something different and more engaging; powerful models and new ideas are being explored in...
I met Dr. Vincent Harding during my first week with IDEA. I was facilitating a gathering in Detroit that he ignited with his opening remembering of a favorite poem, "We are citizens of country that does not yet exist," and his adaption for that gathering on education: "We are citizens of an education system that does not yet exist."
In the middle of the four hour assembly, he changed the conversation by posing the question, "What are the attributes, the qualities, we want for the young people we love to possess?"
And later by leading us in song.
Then, at the end, he called us to be courageous, honest, and generous to one another.
After the assembly, for a just a few moments we spoke. He put his hand on my shoulder and said, "we must be like love and iron fused together."
I've yet to meet that challenge, though it has and continues to live as a mantra inside me. I imagine he's left this and thousands of other mantras in the hearts and minds of those he touched.
Today, as thousands mourn his passing, I wanted to write simply to acknowledge what he set off in my own life and soul.
Dr. Harding, you were and will remain a center of gravity.Thank you for your words, your presence, your song, your courage, your dignity, your humility, and your generosity. May more in the world come to know what you knew and see what you saw. I ask that of myself as in these days of mourning and letting you go. Prayers, love, and strength to your family and all who knew you far better than I.
With much gratitude,
Vincent Harding, In Memoriam — Civility, History And Hope from On Hope
Vincent Harding, 82, Civil Rights Author and Associate of Dr. King, Dies from New York Times
Nestled at the center of Comunidad Forastieri (the Forastieri Community), one block away from Nuestra Escuela in Caguas, Puerto Rico, is Parque Forastieri (Forastieri Park). The community sees the park as a place to socialize, which adds to it's value as an awesome destination for the kiddos to enjoy a fun, clean playground. It's full of color, open to the public, and also has a pretty cool basketball court that gets it's fair share of use. But this is all new, and only a reality due to the work of some amazing humans.
Not too long ago, Parque Forastieri was essentially abandoned, and considered a scary place to be by most people. The only folks you might find hanging around, and only on occasion, were people without homes. Needless to say, the park has always been a potentially great center for social life in the community. Historically, however, it has been widely known as a place to avoid. It seems no surprise that the surrounding community has been rather disjointed in the past as well, and has lacked an overall sense of identity.
Thankfully, together with the community and some heartfelt volunteers, Brayan Sanchez has been organizing for months on end to help restore a healthy and thriving feel to both the park and surrounding community. Comunidad and Parque Forastieri now buzz more than ever with life, joy, quality, and a real sense of identity.

Comment: Different things for different people (Score 2) 247
Different people want different things.
This is not news.
Different people want different things.
This is not news.
Well, it's a shot in the dark.
But, take a stab at it.
You can interpret it that way. That's not the only way to interpret it.
The straightforward reading, however, is that it is forbidden to use proxy services. You're also not allowed to run them, but that's specified separately.
No that's not a straightforward reading at all.
Lets drop the 'or run' to simplify it slightly and read that:
You're right: if you change what it says by deleting some of the words, then it says something different.
In the next sentence, it says in particular what you're not allowed to use or run, including proxy services.
Use or run: It's not merely that you're not allowed to run proxy services: you're not allowed to use them, either.
If that's stupid-- well, how about that.
As I said: the interpretation of this text could be ambiguous. You could do the lawyer thing and claim to interpret it the way you say. But the clear straightforward text is: proxies are listed on the list of things you are specifically not allowed to use or run.
Huh? It is a violation to RUN a proxy. Not USE a proxy.
Here is the text of what's forbidden, from TFA. Note the bold face on the word use (bold is from the original):
use or run dedicated, stand-alone equipment or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises local area network ("PremisesLAN"), also commonly referred to as public services or servers. Examples of prohibited equipment and servers include, but are not limited to, email, web hosting, file sharing, and proxy services and servers;
Agreed, the interpretation of this text could be ambiguous. The straightforward reading, however, is that it is forbidden to use proxy services. You're also not allowed to run them, but that's specified separately.
Then TOR will be wrapped by a VPN service, and Comcast will be fscked.
Didn't you read the article? VPN is against Comcast's terms of service-- it's a proxy.
And if that had been what they'd asked, fine.
But it wasn't. They asked about her membership in groups advocating overthrow of the US government, not about whether she knew or wrote letters to people in prison.
The report is pretty clear. In her original interview, she denies involvement:
During that session, Barr answered "no" when asked if she had ever been a member of an organization "dedicated to the use of violence" to overthrow the U.S. government or to prevent others from exercising their constitutional rights.
Then, they actually checked what they told the interviewers. Despite being a self-described "worker bee," she had been involved with a groups actively dedicated to the use of violence to overthrow the government.
Nope. Actually read the article, instead of just skimming. The two groups that she was involved with in the 1980s were not "dedicated to the use of violence to overthrow the U.S. government." That was a different group, which OPM said "had ties" to the organizations she'd belonged to. She wasn't a member of the third group, or, as far as I can tell, the OPM doesn't claim she was.
I don't know what "had ties" means. But, was she a member of a group dedicated to the use of violence to overthrow the government: apparently not.
"Valerie Barr was a tenured professor of computer science at Union College in Schenectady,"
No, it puts quantitative limits on what is to be expected.
Delta G = Delta H - T Delta S
where S = k ln (omega)
Any other quesitons?
Meh. Information is basically tied to entropy. You can reduce entropy (which is to say, you can order information); it just takes energy to do so (and in the process releasing waste heat).
So, basically, this says nothing more useful than "Life requires a source of free energy, and a way to reject waste heat."
Sure, but we knew that already.
I find it a bit hard to believe that a guy who is able to get one of the largest black-market enterprises running on a server/farm connected to an anonymous/decentralized network isn't smart enough to *not* give it a public IP and/or put the equivalent to a home internet router in front of it.
People make mistakes all the time. Even smart people.
You've never made a mistake? Never missed a bug? Never misconfigured a system? Ever?
Do a hundred things right, and one thing wrong, and just guess which one will get caught.
it would still be decelerated to a safe velocity before hit hit the gorund and would just bounce.
Bounce?? This was calculated using Kermit's space program?

I have never been out of the country alone, so you could just imagine my excitement dashed with a bit of anxiety when I left for Kuala Lumpur last Monday for training. It was honestly hard to believe how I was being shipped off to meet my other Asian counterparts just after 2 months of starting my post, but after the 4-day training, it seemed better for me to learn about the Foreign Ministry's SPIP as early as possible.
Because I was at training for most of the day, I only had the late afternoon and evening to go exploring.
On my first night, I dropped my bags off the hotel and left to Central Market and Chinatown. This was the first photo I took of the Petronas Towers from the street of my hotel, Jalan Ampang, which reminded me of Makati Avenue.
I took the train and made it to Kuala Lumpur's most famous shopping spots. Well, it might be a shopping haven for Europeans, but it's nothing new for us Filipinos who have Divisoria, 168, 999, etc. I had my dinner instead amidst boozing locals in a busy karinderia-type eatery in the heart of Chinatown.
I can't recall the name of this hotpot, but it was good. Really good. As I was enjoying my noodles, two Indian tourists sitting on the table adjacent to mine struck up a conversation while we feasted on their deer meat dish. One was named Singh, and the other's name was so unfamiliar to me that I just couldn't remember it exactly. They ended up inviting me to Singh and his wife's wedding anniversary that night (but actually, early morning) at Zuoc, one of Kuala Lumpur's nightlife attractions. I politely declined as I was to start my training early morning the next day.
These are my Asian counterparts from Malaysia, Taiwan, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia with our instructor from the Foreign Ministry in France. I became buddies with the one from Singapore, who sadly isn't in the photo, as she was my seatmate during the whole seminar. These people were seasoned professionals in the field of communications as many of them were former journalists. I gained heaps of insights on the local dynamics of other Asian countries, which I might leave for another post.
After the first day of training, I got a cab driver to bring me to Batu Cave, a popular place of Hindu worship.
One would need to traverse over 270 steps to get to the cave temples, with some monkeys crossing your path as you make your way to the top.
The caves were magnificent, with Hindu gods carved into stone in various corners of the cave. I'll let the photos speak for themselves, partly because I haven't an idea of the exact significance of these as I visited the cave unguided.
The taxi driver who drove me to Batu Cave brought along his 2 kids who were with him for the school holidays. I taught them Filipino, and they taught me Malay. Good enough deal. We then drove to the National Palace.
The National Palace is the residence of the king of Malaysia. According to what the taxi driver/tour guide told me, there are 9 sultans representing the different Malay kingdoms. Every 5 years, the kingship of Malaysia rotates between the sultans of the different kingdoms, and a king is chosen by election. Like modern monarchies, royalty is more of a national symbol, while the government, in Malaysia's case, the Parliament and the Prime Minister, maintain administrative and political power.
As surprising as it might seem for us Filipinos, but this photo was taken at 7:48pm.
After, we dropped by Merdeka Square. Also called the Independence Square, this was where Malaysian independence from the British was declared and where the Malaysian flag was hoisted for the first time on August 31, 1957 at exactly 12 midnight. I would visit this again with my colleagues during my last night at Kuala Lumpur.
I wasn't able to take photos anymore, but we passed by the National Mosque and an Indonesian restaurant where we had dinner. It was a good day of sightseeing, and I would highly recommend the taxi driver who brought me around the city.
My third day was spent shopping for pasalubongs after training. I went back to Central Market and Chinatown to buy boxes and boxes of chocolate and what have yous. With my arms sore from carrying all those bags, I went back to the hotel to drop off my goods and immediately walked around the block to get myself lost.
The Petronas Towers are known as the tallest twin skyscrapers in the world. One tower is solely used by Petronas, the national petroleum company, while the other building is available for rent for other offices, whose renting fee is the most expensive in Malaysia.
Also, I read from Wikipedia that among the chief engineers responsible for the twin towers are Filipino or have Filipino heritage.
Because Malaysian tourism has made a hefty investment on night decorations, Kuala Lumpur is a great place for night photography. Unfortunately, I didn't have my tripod with me, so my slightly shaky arms had to do.
My second to the last day in Kuala Lumpur was probably the defining moment of my clumsiness. We were invited by the French Ambassador to Malaysia for lunch, and my lack of French fluency was quite embarrassing as all of them were Francophiles. But hey, I'm getting better.
After training, my colleagues and I went on a night out around the city. We passed by Merdeka Square, which I visited a few days before.
These are some of the last few photos I took because it rained hard that night, and I slipped in front of my colleagues as we were rushing to the train station. As if my misfortune wasn't enough, a part of my camera lens chipped off, and now it couldn't lock to the SLRs body.
Oh, the pain, not of the fall, but of my crippled camera.
I wasn't able to finish the training as I had to leave early for my flight. I can say that I had quite an eventful adventure in Kuala Lumpur. Hey, I didn't get kidnapped or end up some unforgiving territory, so I could say I did quite well.
I think I'll be traveling alone more often now. Selamat jalan, Malaysia!
I thought that the phenomenon known as cramming would finally leave my consciousness the moment I graduated from college. That isn't quite the case now.
After roughly a year of abandoning my pursuit of French fluency, I have three-hours worth of lessons tomorrow, taking off where my class ended. To be honest, I am extremely nervous for not being as conditioned for the lessons as I should be. Now, I'm left cramming what's left of my French notes from last year.
Oh la la, aidez-moi, s'il vous plaît.

People said that the 31st of December is the last day of 2011, so it's best to make the most out of it. We did just that. I feel so fortunate to have been born into such a wonderful and (food? Haha.) loving family.
Dad, Tita Tah, Kuys, Tito Aries and Mares, I love you all!
Welcoming visitors to the Rizal Shrine is this huge masterpiece by National Artist Carlos "Botong" Francisco entitled The Martyrdom of Jose Rizal. Not only does it depict the hero's death, which today's holiday seeks to commemorate (it is NOT his birthday today), but illustrates significant phases in Rizal's life.
As much as I appreciate efforts to bring Rizal's god-like stature closer to us Filipino mortals, I can't help but notice how it has been overdone, exaggerated to the point of commercialization.
Yes, people are more conscious of Rizal, but on a level of superficiality. Are people aware of the debates of whether Rizal was for or against an armed revolution? Have we probed deeper into the meaning of his works than the number of women he's allegedly dated? Do people know of his little utopia in Dapitan during his exile? Do we even know that he was exiled in Dapitan? Should he mean more to the Filipino consciousness than a neon-colored bust adorned with a Ray Ban?
We are shallow because we do not read, said F. Sionil Jose a few months back. We are shallow because we have slipped into a false love for country and history that have reduced martyrdom to a mere shirt design worth a few hundred pesos.
I always look forward to the 24th of December not just because the day after is Christmas, but because it's also my mother's birthday!
Our handa for her included a sansrival cake from Silvanas and, because of our financial abundance, three lechon. Yes, you heard it right, three…
… of these cute little pigs of yeast from Julie's Bakeshop. Har har.
Everyone had a kick out of the piglets, especially the birthday celebrant.
We even invited some friends over to join in the celebration! So kind of them to drop by.
Happy birthday, Tita Tah! And from my family to yours, happy holidays!
I can't log into MLS either. Harhar.
Who would've thought that I would miss those nerve-wracking nights of suspense and drama just for grades? Too bad the youngins never got to experience this:
To stare your professor in the eye as you are handed your card (sometimes face down, sometimes with the grade covered by their finger) while everyone else can see pure raw emotion as you look down on those two digits with a period in between. Whether it's an emotion borne of a passing grade or a failing one, it's just priceless.
Oh, the joys of university life. Let me claim it now: I'll be seeing you soon!
Andres with best bud, Mabini
Who wants to undress Bonifacio?
*tom tom snare*
Get it? Get it?
I hope more people realize that Andres Bonifacio isn't just some temperamental and uneducated war freak belonging to a lesser league of heroism/kabayanihan as Jose Rizal.
Happy Bonifacio Day, Philippines.

If the city of Tampa and Hillsborough County spent millions to help control flooding issues in Hillsborough County, why was there so much flooding on Friday?
Did it have anything to do with weeds clogging up a retention pond near Navajo and 29th Street? Did the city turn on storm water pumps too late?
According to the city, the answer to both of those questions is no.
The city and county have in place a system of retention ponds, pipelines, and pumping stations to push storm water from one retention pond to another, down the line and eventually into the river.
Some of those pipelines are so large, you can stand in them.
But that just wasn't enough.
Why? The city claims the rain event that hit Tampa was a freak event. It dumped more water, 6 and a half inches in 2 hours, than a 100-year storm.
Public Works Director Irvin Lee said there was too much water and no place to put it.
There was a lot of flooding in north Tampa, in city councilwoman Lisa Montelione's district, even in her house.
"Although we have flooding here now, it's no where near as bad as it used to be years ago, because we did all of those storm water improvements," Montelione stated.
The city and county spent millions upgrading and connecting their storm water management systems. Pumps move the water from one retention pond to another, all mean to push the water into the river.
Montelione claims there was no way to prepare for 6 inches of rain in 2 hours.
"These huge storms bring on more rain than any engineering solution could probably offer," she said.
The newest upgrade, a pumping station on 113th Avenue was overwhelmed with water, but Montelione insists it did its job.
"We're standing by Fowler Avenue right now and 5 years ago, Fowler Avenue was under water," she said.
"Today was about trying to put 10 gallons of water into a 5 gallon container," Lee claimed.
During a rain event like this one, the county and city must coordinate to make sure one pump station does not pump too much water down the line into another retention pond. That, Lee points out, could cause more flooding problems.
According to Montelione, that may have happened. She is checking with the city and county to determine if both entities coordinated with one another during the downpour.

I took this picture outside of Grand Central Terminal, during an anti-abortion rally. There was lots of really bad chanting, like rhyming "baby" with "baby". There were misspelled protest signs, like "Life Begins At Conseption!" And there were lots of really bad outfits. I saw gauchos, people. Gauchos.
Well, you know I couldn't go all the way to Minneapolis last week and not do this. Fortunately, this was taken very early in the morning, so not very much of downtown witnessed my foolishness.
This morning I found this picture in a frame on a shelf in Terrence's home office and insisted that he scan it for me. We were at Winter Party in South Beach and I impulsively put on Terrence's silly trident hat, which is his Winter Party trademark. I think I had it on my head for about 10 seconds.

Last Wednesday, Aaron and I attended Bob Mould's concert at Irving Plaza. Being the bigshots we are, we were on Bob's VIP list which yielded us access to the balcony above the stage. Suh-weet! Before we even got upstairs, I was stopped by an attractive young straight couple, who've been reading this blog after following the link on Bob's page. They spoke very knowledgeably about some of the stories I've written, which was very flattering. For some reason, I'm always surprised to meet straight readers, isn't that odd?
What: Queer Awareness Month Kickoff Party
Section II, 1990-2000 (Abridged)
- The one that always said her name "Donna Summers", with the "s" on the end, even though he knew it was wrong and knew that it bugged me.
- The one that told everybody he was Italian, when in fact he was Mexican.
- The one that chastely put off any sex until the fourth date, and then when we finally got naked, literally recoiled from my hands, saying "Um, I'm not really into touching."
- The one that laughed out loud, actually hooting, actually slapping his knees in glee, while watching reruns of Too Close For Comfort or Perfect Strangers.
- The one who relocated our date to the restaurant right behind his house, because it was within range of his electronic monitoring bracelet.
- The one that got down on his knees and prayed for forgiveness after we had sex.
- The one that had long conversations with the fish in his aquarium, asking them how their day was, and whether they were hungry, and did they want any new roommates. All in his funny, squeaky "fish" voice.
- The one that asked me how I could stand having such queeny friends.
- The one who during the first (and only) time we had sex, asked me to fuck him, during which he whimpered "Why Daddy, why? I'm just a little boy!"
- The one who consulted his astrology chart before he'd get on a plane.
- The one who slept with the sheet tucked in all around his body, including over his head, like a cadaver.
- The one who "playfully" liked to trip, tickle, pinch and push me.
- The one who voted for Bush the First.
- The one who listened to Color Me Barbra at least 5 times a day.
- The one that insisted on an empty seat between us at the movies, so we didn't look gay.
- The one that was rude to waiters, clerks, delivery men and hotel staff.
- The one who believed that man had never actually been on the moon and every other conspiracy theory he read.
- The one who lavished me with gifts of designer clothing, which it turned out he'd been stealing from his employer, Neiman-Marcus.
- The one who wouldn't meet me for lunch at Sizzler, because he was afraid someone would see him there. Not with me, but AT a Sizzler.
- The one that was married and said that his wife "knew", and that it was OK with her that he dated men, and that they were only staying together for the sake of their FIVE kids. Then he had her call me to say she didn't mind if I was dating her husband.
Taking my cue from the scene in "Miracle On 34th Street" in which Macy's employee Kris Kringle tells customers that they could find what they were looking for at over at Gimbel's, Macy's archrival, I'd like to offer up a few suggestions to my gentle readers.

McDonald's drops 'pink slime' ingredient from beef
The push for healthier food has prompted the Golden Arches to stop using ammonium hydroxide in its burgers. Will the move hurt the company's bottom line?
By Kyle Woodley
McDonald's (MCD) clientele can finally rest easy, as "dog food" is coming off the menu at the Golden Arches.
In the wake of an outcry by the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, McDonald's said on Thursday said it will stop using ammonium hydroxide, a common ingredient in cleaning solutions that's dubiously dubbed "pink slime," in its beef patties.
McDonald's beef producer, Beef Products Inc., says ammonium hydroxide occurs naturally in most foods and helps reduce bacteria. However, Oliver launched a personal campaign against its use in beef throughout the U.S. on his show "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution."
According to the Daily Mail, Oliver said beef producers take "trimmings" that would normally go to dog food and wash it with the compound until it is fit for human consumption.
"Imagine how happy an accountant is. You just turned dog food into what can potentially be your kids' food," he told "Food Revolution" viewers.
A McDonald's USA senior director credited the change to the restaurant's priorities on food safety, not Oliver. But whatever the reasons, the move has been made.
If the use of "pink slime" is a great method to make low-grade meat fit for human consumption, a shift away from that and toward better meat, unless a more favorable cleanser can be found, almost certainly means higher costs.
That's not good news for McDonald's, which has taken great pains to fend off rising commodity costs for vegetables, beef and grains.
As most McDonald's workers will tell you, the fast-food chain is less restaurant, more factory. Unlike restaurants like Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) that are happy to shovel food at will and grow merely by adding stores, McDonald's is a lean, mean portion machine that partitions every pickle and mechanizes every ketchup squirt. That -- and its ability to purchase in seemingly endless bulk -- helps outweigh the forces of food inflation.
Any significant increase to the price of one of McDonald's staples, then, would be felt in its profit margins, which the company has seen plateau around or slightly above 20% for more than two years after a steady increase from around 10% a decade ago and which fell slightly in the most recent quarter.
What should further worry investors is the coupling of this potential hit with McDonald's less-than-bright outlook for 2012. One of the biggest problems the company has said it will face this year is volatile foreign currency cutting into its profits, but CEO Jim Skinner also noted other concerns, including ingredient costs.
McDonald's has already shed about 2% since it reported earnings Tuesday, and it's still trading at a P/E of 19, which is around its highest point since 2007. Combine that with a market that has come to expect nothing less than financial excellence from McDonald's, and future signs of weakness could be met with even harsher reaction.
Investors are currently celebrating the fast-food giant's most recent sterling earnings. But the loss of "pink slime" may in fact mean the loss of cash for what was the best-performing Dow stock of 2011.
Kyle Woodley is the assistant editor of InvestorPlace.com. As of this writing, he did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Ammonium hydroxide is just ammonia... like household ammonia. I am a chemist, and although ammonia doesn't smell or taste good, it is not a problem. Using it to disinfect marginal meat is a problem (using bad meat), but they might need to use a different disinfectant. It has been common to use ammonia... there was a big flap some years back about Food Lion using it on fish and ground beef... common practice... and they had to do a public apology and stop. But "pink slime"? Where does that come from? Unless it has a dye in it, ammonia is colorless, just like the water-white household ammonia. Maybe when mixed with nasty meat and blood, then it becomes "pink slime", but not before.
Try looking at this objectively, and reading the facts behind the issue. You know McDonald's is bad for you, DON'T EAT THERE!! They don't need to be regulated more, people need to better educate themselves. People are all too quick to hold someone else accountable for their own ignorance.
For the last cpl of months Mcdonalds have been running tv ads purporting to show where their vegetables, the meat supplies come from. It was said one time that McDonalds was the largest buyer of cattle eyeballs in the country, amazing what a company can call Beef. Kinda like the Taco Bell situation with their so called beef fillings. Of course these companies dont have to raise prices as fast as commodities such as beef rise. They are using what would be thrown away by most people and calling it good. They are probably buying all this crap at pennies on the dollar compared to what would be really considered fit for human consumption.
Baking soda, salt, vinegar, & lime juice can all be used as cleaners also. They just sound like they are bad for you when you use the chemical names. Sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, acetic acid, & Citrus Aurantifolia Acid and Dihydrogen Monoxide sould all be baned, Right?
Maybe McDonalds should stop using Dihydrogen Monoxide in there soda.
Ammonium hydroxide are very common compounds, found naturally in all plants and animals
By the way ammonium hydroxide is used to kill E. coli in meat. I am sure they have a cheaper way to do this now that is why they are making the switch.

It's spooky day kids! The most magical day of the year for all of us horror nerds. Tonight is the night we all sit down and watch our favorite movies, sob in our parent's basement because we've never found love and finish off the evening by pleasuring ourselves to internet porn. Enjoy it, Halloween only comes around once a year. Thank god.
Fede Alvarez, the fella who wrote and directed the "Evil Dead" remake has dropped word that if a sequel does happen it won't be with him involved. No word on if the producers will still move forward with the project but if I was a bettin man I'd say they most likely would. Cause ya know, money and stuff right?
Because it's Halloween and because it's spooky time here's a video from the folks over at Funny or Die. It's called "Are These Tales Spooky to You?". Those of you who are old might catch on the resemblance to the old "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" show that was on Nickelodeon. Those of you who are old and didn't get laid in high school might remember the host of the video as Marilyn Manson, of music old ladies used to protest fame. Enjoy.
While I was on my crazy leave it was announced by Michael Dougherty that "Trick R Treat 2" was in fact moving forward. No other details were really given but now it looks like that Michael has let out that we'll for sure see some witches in this next installment, we'll get just a touch of Sam's back story and there will most likely be a third film to complete the trilogy. He also said that I'm his muse and that he thinks I've lost weight and that I look perfect. That part didn't make it into the interview but I'm sure it was said.
According to Ridley Scott he's already got "Prometheus 2" and "Prometheus 3" written and ready to go. He plans on them seeing the light of day in 2014 and 2015, respectively. He's also apparently completed his taxes for the next 5 years and is actively working on that model ship that's been sitting in your closet for three years.
And here's a group of guys that dressed up as bloodied flight attendants from the Asiana Airlines crash for a Halloween party. Because ya know, Chicago.
A 41 year old man is under arrest after he apparently assaulted his girlfriend with a cat. I have no idea how you really do that but I like to think there was some sort of freezing involved to make an elaborate frozen cat sword. Most likely that didn't happen though and is probably impossible.
At a certain point while watching "Evil Dead" I thought to myself that this might just be the goriest film I have ever seen in theaters. That's a caveat worth noting. I would expect that most people visiting this site regularly have absolutely seen gorier films, but I can confidently say that there are things in "Evil Dead" that your average movie-goer has never before seen on a big screen. It's this ability to mimic, and at times honor the splatter-house roots of the original "Evil Dead" that makes this remake such a success.
Wednesday is hump day my friends. Look around your office and do what you have to do.
Good news kids! A 5 minute clip of the upcoming little screen adaptation of Stephen king's "Bag Of Bones" has made it's way online. The miniseries focuses on a grief stricken husband who returns to the lakeside house him and his wife owned while dealing with a bitter custody battle. I want to be 100% honest. The download instructions for this clip confused the hell out of me so I didn't watch it. I want this relationship to be built on honesty.
The majority of the "Evil Dead" news flying around these days is mostly just interviews with people attached to the flick saying it's going to be awesome and fans will be happy. But today, today my friends, on this glorious of all hump days, we have news that director Fede Alvarez is planning on taking the show to New Zealand to begin filming in March. And if a bunch of sheep herders with strange accents doesn't ring true to the original "Evil Dead" I don't know what does.
If you love David Cronenberg then you're going to have somewhat pleasant feelings towards his son Brandon Cronenberg and his new project "Antiviral". Proof is in the first still we're getting today from the film that follows an employee at a clinic that sells injections of live viruses harvested from sick celebrities to obsessed fans. Don't let the fact bother you that the guy in the photo has a pony tail and by definition anyone with a pony tail is a prick. Please, let's try to be adults about this.
Honestly the only reason we're going to discuss these set picks from Neil Jordan's "Byzantium" if because I find them so confusing. They're of Gemma Arterton, who plays a vampire in the flick, prancing around the coast of Ireland in a red dress with all her goods hanging out. Sounds awesome I know but then you get to the final shot of some strange PA who appears to be examining Arterton's lady bits. I have so many feeling going on inside me right now I'm not sure what to do. I'm laughing and crying at the same time. I think it's best we call it a day.
Here's a story about a fashion model in Texas who has been seriously injured after she walked into a plane propeller. Are you laughing right now? Congratulations! You're officially a monster.
Do not mess with the fire department in Tennessee. Or at least don't forget to pay the 75$ annual fee you owe to them. Because they will come to your house while it's burning and watch that giant trailer you call a home go up in flames. At least they didn't roast marshmallows. That would just be in poor taste.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Gear: In the Studio: Matmos
Drew Daniel and Martin Schmidt, who together form the group Matmos, have spent most of their production career seeking out unconvential concepts and sound sources to use within their adventerous electronic works, resulting in a discography that is rarely stale and consistently unique. For their latest record, The Marriage of True Minds, Daniel and Schmidt enlisted volunteers to participate in the Ganzfeld experiment, in which Daniel would attempt to telepathicly transmit the sound of Matmos' then-unmade record to the participants, whose descriptions of what they heard in their head would in turn serve as the blueprint for the album's tracks. In the process, subjects reported back everything from sloshing buckets of water to the sound of triangles and synthetic strings, leading Matmos to incorporate a wide range of unexpected elements while making their record. In order to gain some insight into exactly how it all worked, we visited Daniel and Schmidt in their basement studio in Baltimore—the duo's adopted hometown since relocating from San Francisco six years ago—and picked the veteran sonic adventurers' brains about their unconventional process and quirky set of tools.

Bishops: Church in Wales
The Church in Wales became a separate Province of the Anglican Communion as a result of disestablishment in 1920. The office of Archbishop of Wales is held by one of their six Diocesan Bishops.
The style of address for the Archbishop of Wales is given under Other Archbishops of the Anglican Communion. The styles of address for the Bishops of the Church in Wales are as for Diocesan Bishops of the Church of England.
A Bishop of the Church in Wales signs, after a cross, his Christian name and diocese. The Bishop of Llandaff (who, except that he also happens to be the present Archbishop of Wales) would normally sign as "Landav". The other Bishops sign by the usual spelling of the diocese.
Retired Welsh Bishops
Retired Welsh bishops are addressed in the same way as other retired bishops (i.e. Rt Rev John Smith, Dear Bishop).

Have the class quickly look over the list of characters to recognize familiar words. Some characters are obviously described through their names, others are a bit more subtle. Those whose names are not evocative have been omitted from this list.
Orsino – When Shakespeare wrote the play, Twelfth Night, the Spanish Ambassador was named Orsino. Given the incredible rivalry between England and Spain in the Renaissance, it makes it much more fun to mock a foolish character who is named for Orsino, a Spaniard of high rank.
Ask the class if there is a political character whose very name appearing in a contemporary cast of characters would amuse an audience.
Valentine –Although he is a character of very little consequence to the action of the play, what better name for a character in a play devoted completely to love?
Curio– Definition: a knick-knack. Both Curio and Valentine are minor characters, but their appearance might enhance the comedic atmosphere.
Have the class suggest casting possibilities and possible costumes.
Sir Toby Belch – Belch is a synonym for burp, and Toby was a traditional name for ale. The connection is obvious—ale makes one burp. An alternate, modern nameto suggest to the class would be Sir Budweiser Belch. Furthermore, the fact that this is Sir Toby Belch gives Shakespeare the opportunity to mock nobility. Show a picture of current collectable Toby Mug figurines based on Toby Ale (available online through a search engine).
Have the class suggest famous actors who might be well cast as Sir Toby.
Sir Andrew Aguecheek – Again, an opportunity to mock nobility, Aguecheek is an empty headed aristocrat. Have a student read the definition of ague (a sickness marked by fever and spasms; the [pl]ague). In essence, Andrew Aguecheeks name might be modernized to Andy Plague-face – not the name for a handsome leading man.
Suggestions for casting?
Malvolio – The prefix mal means bad. A character in Romeo and Juliet> is named Benvolio, a name indicating good will, good feeling, or good humor. Malvolios name implies bad will or a perpetual feeling of crankiness. To compound the unattractiveness of this character, Malvolio is described as a Puritan. Puritans were the archenemies of dramatists, including Shakespeare. Play acting, and indeed drama in general, were regarded by Puritans as sinful, essentially a lie. Thus their desire to close the theatres threatened Shakespeares very livelihood.
Who would the students suggest to cast as Malvolio? Why? How would Malvolio, virtually a butler and a Puritan as well, be costumed?
Feste – The jester or clown. Have a student with a dictionary read the definition of festival and the root word fest – i.e. celebration. Festes traditional costume would have been motley. Have a student read this definition. The function of this character would be to mock characters, yet simultaneously for the audience to discern the worth of a character. If the character can laugh at herself/himself, the audience likes her or him. It is unattractive when people are unable to laugh at themselves. How a character reacts to Feste determines the worth of that character – if characters laugh, we like them; if they become angry, we want to see them brought down or humbled. In Shakespeares other great comedy, As You Like It, the similar jester is named Touchstone. Websters dictionary defines touchstone as a test or criterion for determining the quality or genuineness of a thing.
Viola – The main character. This name is pronounced VI – ol – lah. Viola is the leading character in the play, the one with whom readers/viewers most identify. Not just a stringed instrument, a Viola is also a flower. Have the student with a dictionary read the definition. A Viola is a small flower, similar to but smaller than a pansy – like a violet. Poets often use the violet/Viola metaphorically. A Viola is a flower that grows both in the shade and so close to the ground that its beauty often goes unnoticed. Since the Viola is not a flashy or showy flower, one has to be perceptive to notice its beauty; this is so very true of Viola, the character, as well. When Viola disguises herself as a male, she assumes the name Cesario, or LittleCaesar. This counterfeit male is reputed to be very handsome.
What famous actor or what attributes in a woman would the class seek when casting Viola?
Olivia – There is a strange phenomenon among the cast of characters that so many of them have similar letters in their names. Norrie Epstein says: Note that several of the major characters names contain or are near anagrams of the word volio, which in Italian means will. . . . For the Elizabethans, will meant desire, specifically sexual desire. The plays subtitle, What You Will, suggests the clichés of the 1960s: Whatever turns you on and Do your own thing.
Characters love whom they will in this comedy: male, female, upper-class, lower- class – it makes no difference. Its spring time, the mating season, and everyone must fall in love (141).

Here's my newest theme! Everything was constructed by me, with the exception of the navigation, which was inspired by this theme by manatopia. It was NOT copied, I just used it as a reference for making the navigation round. In fact, I even asked her permission before making this theme public because of that. It has a couple things you may recognize from my older themes as well as a couple of new things. All in all, I hope you enjoy it!
- three columns
- blog title not displayed
- round navigation links
- most post info under entries
- tags when you hover over posts
- two sidebar images
- "sidebar top image" is 250px and will display above the description
- "sidebar bottom image" is 270px and will display below the description
- up to four custom links
My ask box is always open to any questions that people may have. Don't be afraid to ask for help! There's no such thing as a stupid question. :-)
*Please note that this theme was designed for the screen of a MacBook Air, which is 1440x900. If it doesn't look quite right on your screen, just message me and I'll see if I can help.

Hi all,
Last night, DH and I had a serious talk about TTC. He thinks we should wait a little longer before TTC. He is not sure if this is worth my life. Although I am afraid of dying, I cannot let that fear dictate my life. He will do whatever I want because he loves me and will go along with what I want. However, i want him to be completely on board. I want only positivity, and any negativity gives me second thoughts. I am turning 39 in April 2011, and I have an underlying disease. If I wait so many things can change. My disease can become active and at that point I would have to wait at least 6 months to try again. I love my DH, however, I just do not think some men understand that we all cannot just sit and wait. Is anyone else having second thoughts? How are you overcoming those thoughts?

Debris from a roof collapse at a decommissioned military hangar in Tustin today plopped onto an experimental $35 million aircraft, causing a helium leak.
The collapse left a 25-by-25-foot hole in the ceiling and caused a helium leak in the 254 foot long airship about 7:45 a.m., Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said. No one was injured, he added.
Officials cleared the area about 1 p.m., Concialdi said.A hazardous materials team and a gas company crew also were dispatched to the scene to evacuate the leaked helium. Helium is an inert gas and there was no danger of explosion.
The World War II-era hangar at 15499 Red Hill Ave. housed the Dragon Dream, the airship owned by Worldwide Aeros. Fox 11 covered the story of the zeppelin's maiden voyage just last month. See the story here.
Officials are still evaluating the damage. "While unfortunate, our initial assessment shows that the damage is repairable," Said spokesman John Kiehle ."We are grateful nobody was injured, and want to thank local first responders for their efforts this morning."
