(News-Register, July 19, "Off-leash dogs prompt warning")
"Pets are prohibited entirely in Rotary Nature Preserve Park, Upper City Park, --> all park playgrounds
oops! there was a lot more to my previous post but where it went, I do not know! :)
anyway, leashed dogs not allowed on park playgrounds. How does one know what part of Discovery Park or all other parks is just that -- a playground? I found that part of the rule/regulation somewhat confusing.
Dogs need to run freely in large open spaces to break up the monotony of a back yard and the ever present leash.
I am surprised at the lack of free open space in McMinnville.
The problem is people who stubbornly insist on letting their dogs run loose in parks not designed or equipped for off-leash dogs and inflicting their bad behavior on others.
I am a responsible owner who very much resents irresponsible owners. Their bad behavior forces adoption of more and more regulatory measures.

How does 'search' work?
17 June 2011 at 7:21am Last edited: 17 June 2011 7:22am
I noticed that some search results are not complete. For example I search for 'ABC' and three pages are shown, but two are missing. Both pages are checked to show in menu, show in search, are not hidden or only for special user groups.
I am wondering how the search function works. I can't find good points about it. Where can I look for some further information about search?

New Process Helps Victims Of Large Kidney Stones
GLEN BURNIE, Md. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - One in ten Americans will be affected by kidney stones at some point in their life and about a million patients will experience a kidney stone attack this year.
While most stones will pass on their own, larger stones can be life-threatening. Now there is a non-invasive treatment that can safely wipe out stones, even in extreme cases.
A sudden slip out of the shower one morning saved Stacy Cassell's life.
"It was by the grace of God that I fell. If I wouldn't have fallen, we may have never have found them," said Cassell.
Back pain from the fall sent her to the emergency room, but doctors found something much more serious, Staghorn kidney stones. Stones so big they nearly filled both kidneys.
"He (the doctor) was like, 'If we didn't find these you could have been dead by the end of the year,'" said Cassell.
Dr. Julio Davalos with Chesapeake Urologist in Maryland said our bodies naturally flush out most kidney stones, but once they reach about the size of a raisin they become hard to pass. Stacy's were so large, surgery was the only option. Dr. Davalos used a new laser called lumenis versapulse on Stacy's stones. This enabled her to pass the stones on her own, lowering her risk of complications.
"This laser technology really helps in that manner in that I'm able to fragment the stone into minute grains of sand and that can just sort of pass out of the kidney and flush out," said Dr. Davalos.
Since a special type of laser energy setting is used, there's a better chance that no other tissue is affected saving Stacy's kidneys and giving her a second chance with her son and dog Kelly.
Stacy's doctor told her she most likely got the stones because she doesn't keep herself hydrated.
The lumenis versapulse laser can be used in advanced cases like Stacy's or to dust smaller stones. The minimally invasive treatment usually requires general anesthesia, but patients can go home the same day.
BACKGROUND: Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form inside your kidneys. The stones are made of mineral and acid salts. Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones usually cause no permanent damage. (SOURCE:http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/kidney-stones)
SYMPTOMS: A kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within your kidney or passes into your ureter. At that point, these signs and symptoms may occur:
- Severe pain in the side and back, below the ribs
- Pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin
- Pink, red or brown urine
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
(SOURCE: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/kidney-stones)
MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH: There are many different types of lasers used in medicine. For kidney stone work, a PowerSuit holmium laser in direct contact with the stone is commonly used. This minimally-invasive treatment usually requires general anesthesia, but you may go home the same day. The doctor uses an endoscope in order to get close to the stone. A small fiber is snaked up the endoscope so that the tip can come in contact with the stone, the intense light energy breaks the stone into increasingly smaller pieces, which can be extracted or flushed out. (SOURCE: http://www.zimbio.com)
Can you talk about kidney stones and how they're formed?
Dr. Davalos: Kidney stones occur in about one in ten Americans over a lifetime. There's about a million patients that will experience a kidney stone attack this year. Kidney stones form for a variety of reasons. One of the things that we do at Chesapeake Urology is that we not only do the surgical aspects of treating patients, but also preventative aspects in terms of trying to figure out their stone type and what metabolic disorder may have led to their stone disease. There are about a dozen different reasons that stones can form and most patients, including physicians out there as well, will sort of have a few ideas as to what causes a stone, but there's really more complexity to it than just being able to say one or two things cause stones. There are obvious things that can cause stones such as dehydration; certain dietary changes, and then certainly there are some things in terms of just how you are born.
What would be some of the treatments that are available right now?
Dr. Davalos: In terms of looking at stones; the majority of stones are not surgical stones. Most stones you can pass on your own—with just some supportive care. Looking at options to actually treat a stone would include things like shockwave lithotripsy, in which a machine is used to locate the stone with x-ray and shock waves are used to break up the stone. Other options would include a scope surgery; where a scope is placed internally to locate the stone and a laser is used to break up the stone. A more invasive procedure would be a small incision surgery going in to the kidney directly or laparoscopic or even open surgery in extreme cases.
When is it necessary to have surgery to remove a stone?
Dr. Davalos: Size matters when it comes to stones. Size is really the big determiner as well as your own anatomy. For the most part a stone that is four millimeters or smaller we say is virtually universally passable. There's a very small chance that a four millimeter stone or smaller will not pass. But five millimeters you get to the fifty, fifty point where you sort of flip a coin, half of them will pass, half of them won't. Then every millimeter above five millimeters you start to really get diminishing returns in terms of being able to pass a stone. So stones that are six, seven millimeters and bigger you can certainly consider treatment. Anything that's above ten millimeters, I always tell my patients, well you may be able to pass a ten millimeter stone and set a record. For the most part we consider anything above ten to be not passable. So it's really all determined by size.
What's the largest you've ever seen?
Dr. Davalos: I've seen stones that are over one hundred millimeters in size that are filling the entire kidney.
I know that these are supposed to be excruciating painful.
Dr. Davalos: They can be quite painful. The interesting thing is that the smaller stones that try to pass may actually be more painful than a stone that gets really big. The reason being that it's all about where the stone is as well in terms of pain. Most of my patients who have very large kidney stones that are twenty, thirty, forty millimeters in size will describe more of just an achiness in their back and they may not have that typical stone pain. Once a stone moves out of the kidney and travels through the tube, that connects the kidney to the bladder called the ureter, that's when you can really experience some significant pain. It has been described as more intense than labor in women who have delivered within a short time of having a kidney stone. When you see patients that are trying to pass a stone you really do see the intensity of the pain in their face.
Once it gets large enough is when you would consider using this new laser treatment?
Dr. Davalos: We certainly offer patients the options to try to pass their stone, but if they're in too much pain or we really think that it's not going to happen then absolutely using the laser is a great choice for them.
Obviously it's not for someone that really needs an invasive surgery, like if their entire kidney was filled up; you probably wouldn't use it?
Dr. Davalos: Well not necessarily. You can use a laser in multiple scenarios. That's one of things that I like about the laser is that it's a very versatile instrument. I use the laser in stones that are trying to pass through the ureter, but I also use the laser in large kidney stones cases. For example, if you have a patient whose got that thirty, forty millimeter stone you may have a collection of stone in the part of the kidney you can only get to with a flexible scope. While we are doing more invasive surgery, to get a bulk of a stone out, some of the smaller areas of stone, I would use the scope and the laser even in that scenario. So it has a lot of applications.
What would be some of the other advantages of using this over other types of treatment?
Dr. Davalos: The thing I like about using the laser and the dusting settings in particular is that you're able to actually break the stone into fine pieces almost like sand that can pass. I won't say painlessly, but certainly more easily than the other larger fragments may pass. It's only with this laser technology that I'm able to actually use the settings on the laser to allow it to fragment in to such small pieces.
What would be the complications for this?
Dr. Davalos: Any time you do surgery there's always the potential for complications and I tell all my patients you can't do a surgery without there being some risk, but you can't get in the car and drive to work without there being some risks. Certainly there are risks of injury to the ureter; there are risks of stones that can get lodged. Even the smaller pieces can sort of make a plug and cause a blockage, but really there's minimal risk compared to the benefit and certainly the pain and discomfort and the risk to the kidney that exists if you don't treat the stone.
What are the risks if the stones are not treated and what that can mean for your overall health?
Dr. Davalos: If any of my stone patients lived a hundred years ago or a hundred and fifty years ago some of these stones, which we can treat very easily could actually lead to their death. If a stone blocks the ureter and blocks the kidney you can get an infection; you can form an abscess in the kidney and then that could lead to infection in the blood stream which is called sepsis and can lead in extreme cases to death. In some cases if you don't treat these stones it could lead to kidney damage, infection and some very serious complications.
So it could be life threatening?
Dr. Davalos: It could be life threatening yes. Thankfully with the technology we have today that's pretty rare and uncommon. However, even today, I do some cases where patients have, particularly with the large stones in the kidneys, they may have ignored the pain, because it wasn't really an intense pain and they can sometimes show up with a life threatening infection as presenting symptom for their stone.
For the average person millimeter they don't understand so how big would that be?
Dr. Davalos: Your kidney is about maybe the size of your hand; that would be around ten to twelve centimeters or that would be a hundred and twenty millimeters; so we're talking about a stone that maybe is about the size of the palm of my hand in terms of length. These stones kind of branch, because the inside of the kidney is like a hollow center almost like a cave and the outside of the kidney is sort of the part that everybody knows in terms of a kidney bean or the kidney shape, that's where the blood is filtered. However, the stone is formed inside that hollow center and they sort of have all these branches. We call the big stone stag horn stones because of all the little sort of horns that they form.
Kidney stones are just like a stone you pick up out on the ground right?
Dr. Davalos: Yes, very much so.
They actually are very hard?
Dr. Davalos: Some of them are. We look at the hardness of stones and we say that the soft stones are actually about as hard as bone. Then once you get to the harder stones they're going to be three, four, five times more dense than bone. Most of us think of our bones as being pretty hard structures; so you can imagine these kidney stones.
I talked to one guy who was putting lemonade in the water because of the citrate.
Dr. Davalos: One of the things that I like to do with all my patients is once we get to a point where we've treated their stones I think it's very important to move on to the preventative measures, the medical management of stone disease. There are a lot of things out there that people have heard; you need to cut back on cheese or milk, because calcium can cause stones and that's probably not entirely accurate. When you look at the science there are four things I tell all my patients that make kidney stones, which there's a lot of good evidence. One is quite obvious, which is hydration; you want to make sure you drink plenty of fluids. People ask me does coffee cause stones, does soda cause stones and I say well really it's just about hydration. There are many reasons why you may not want to drink a lot of caffeine or coffee, but really as far as making stones you just want to drink plenty of fluids. You want to get a target of about a half-gallon of urine output in a twenty four hour period. That's something that you can maybe try to gauge. You're going to have to drink at least that much or maybe a little bit more than that in order to be able to you know keep your kidneys flushed. The second thing is that salt is really a big culprit for stones. The average American diet has about five thousand milligrams of salt in it. We're supposed to really only be consuming around twenty five hundred maybe three thousand at most. A lot of my patients, who go through the medical testing, we end up seeing that they have pretty high salt levels. It's quite easy to get a lot of salt in your food even if you don't actually grab the salt shaker, because many processed foods will have quite a bit of salt. The reason that salt is a problem with stones is that salt and calcium have a love affair with one another and calcium will follow the salt out of your kidneys and when you consume too much salt your body just dumps it in the urine. The calcium chases the salt out and then you end up getting elevated calcium levels nothing really to do with how much milk or cheese that you're having in your diet but really having to do with the salt. The other thing is protein. There are a lot of diets out there that throw the focus on high protein and unfortunately a high protein diet can also leads to stones. It has to do with the way your body handles the proteins and it sort of puts an acid load in to your kidneys and that sort of thing can also lead to stones.
All together?
Dr. Davalos: Not altogether. However, some people are born with low levels of citrate in their urine. Citrate is just citric acid, so it's found in things like lemons and oranges. It's found in the highest concentration in lemons by several factors higher than anything else. If you happen to like lemonade then you know lemonade is a great option to help prevent stones. If you're going to pick a fluid to drink, something that you really want to try to consume a lot of then lemonade made from real lemon juice is really what you need to go for. And so people ask me what's that mean. Well I've been to many you know fast food places or you go to a convenience store and you pick up a container of quote unquote lemonade and you see it has sometimes three percent lemon juice sometimes it says zero percent lemon juice. So that's not really lemonade. The lemonade that's going to help you prevent stones has to be at least ten percent real lemon juice. That's what I tell my patients, you've got to go out and find the stuff that has at least ten percent or you can make your own and I have a way for them to have you know a homemade lemon juice using concentrated lemon juice. It doesn't cost much for them and it's a way to get a lot of lemonade made with the right concentration of lemon.
I heard before that people mostly thought it was red meat, but now it's come out that too much fish, red meat or chicken actually can all form stones. What about eggs?
Dr. Davalos: I don't think there's any compelling evidence that eggs will cause stones. Most of the evidence has to do with land animals. We used to focus on the red meat. I used to tell my patients who are big red meat eaters, to cut back. I still think that that's going to give you the highest potential for kidney stones. However, really all land animals are sort of now the target in terms of protein. I don't know that there's any specific research on eggs, but there is some new evidence that says all proteins can be a factor.
How does the dusting procedure work?
Dr. Davalos: Let's look at dusting stones versus a standard laser lithotripsy. Lithotripsy means to break stone. Dusting the stone requires a special laser machine that allows you to put settings that can fragment a stone in to very minute pieces. When the patient is asleep, we run a scope in to the bladder, then in to the ureter, which is the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder or all the way up to the kidney depending on where the stone is. Once we visualize the stone with the scope we then pass a laser fiber through the scope and then we use special settings on the laser in order to fragment the stone in to minute pieces that really resemble just little tiny grains of sand. Our goal is to get your stone to be less than one millimeter in size, the fragments. It's felt that any stones that are less than a millimeter in size will flush out of the body much more easily than leaving behind fragments that are maybe two, three, four millimeters in size.
So before they would still break them down but how would they remove them?
Dr. Davalos: There's some debate out there in terms of do you remove stones. Patients may think to themselves why can't you just go in there and just grab it and pull it out? What I tell them is if your body couldn't pass it then for me to grab your stone and pull it out is dangerous. I could cause an injury to the ureter. Once we laser it in to smaller pieces we can certainly try to basket out some of these smaller pieces. Every time we run a scope in and out of the ureter, every time we go to basket there's always a small chance that we may cause an injury. I think it's much safer to take the laser, put it on certain settings, where it allows you to dust the stone in to these minute fragments, and then the patient can safely pass that, rather than try to basket and cause an injury. Or even just an irritation to the ureter. Overall I think it's a better approach and a safer approach. I always tell my patients that's really my goal for you it's not just to get rid of your stones, because I know that's what you want, but I have to do it in a safe way and I think this is a much safer approach.

My eighty-something in-laws were telling me about Filipino folk healing from the old days (meaning up into the 1970s, at least). The most curious story I heard was about this fellow they knew who would feel his patient's pulse, and then declare whom he had to go to to be cured. Now, this third-party was generally not a healer, and had never done this kind of thing before. But you brought the healer-designee seven grains of rice, he chewed them, placed them on your neck, and, bing-botta-bing, you're healed! I guess the bloke who told you whom to go see was kind of like the gateway provider in an HMO.
Less impressive was the story of the woman who could make someone sick just by looking at them. I said that's nothing -- I've made a whole room-full of people sick just by talking to them, and a whole discussion-list of people sick with my posts.

'Memphis Belle' in Tampa for Vets Day
November 5, 2012 Leave a Comment
A restored B-17 Flying Fortress used in the movie "Memphis Belle" will be in Tampa on Veterans Day as part of a tour saluting veterans. The tour is organized by The Liberty Foundation and will stop on Nov 10-11 at Leader Edge Aviation Services at Tampa Executive Airport, 6582 Eureka Springs Road.
According to the foundation's website, the plane will be available for public flights and tours both days, with ground tours afterward. The plane "is a living museum, our heritage not in mothballs or the pages of a dusty book, but real life, three dimensions, here and now," according to the website.
Memphis Belle was the nickname of a Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress used on 25 bombing missions over Europe during World War II. The Memphis Belle used in the movie was a B-17G built in 1954. The plane was in storage when it was first sold in 1959 and has changed ownership several times since. It was restored to resemble a B-17F in 1982 before it was used in the film.
The owners leased the plane to The Liberty Foundation for the tour.The goal "is to educate the people of America about the courage (of) WWII veterans, and remember those brave aircrew who never made it home," the website says.
Relive your wartime memories when you get your own B-17 model airplane from Showcase Models. Choose from the many display model airplanes including large scale model planes, military aircraft models, and other wooden model planes.

The pharmaceutical industry is facing an intense transformation and companies are trying to adapt their commercial models for competitive advantage and a new degree of engagement.
Although key account management is not the new topic on the table; it is now seen as a key differentiator. A successful KAM strategy, however, involves more than change name of sales reps to account managers. Instead, companies see more and more the need to hire individuals with skillsets outside of traditional sales, train them to speak to customers differently, and allow the KAM team at liberty to lead over their own territory and accounts.
This event is also co-located with the 3rd Annual Pharma Marketing Summit. Two of the largest Pharma events of 2014 will be held at the same venue at the same time - with all networking breaks to be shared - giving you an unparalleled networking experience with your industry peers!

Report: Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler to Join American Idol; Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi Out For Season 10by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Simon Cowell's departure from American Idol was apparently just the beginning: The hit show's panel will reportedly look markedly different come January 2011.
DeGeneres confirmed in a statement that she informed Fox she would not be returning for Season 10 and that the reality hit "didn't feel like the right fit for me."
"It was a difficult decision, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for ... I loved the experience working on Idol, am very grateful for the year I had."
Her tenure on the program lasted just one season.
Creator Simon Fuller said he "loved Ellen's passion for the artists" and that "she brought honesty and optimism to our judging panel and I will miss her greatly."
Get ready for a much different American Idol panel.
Here's where it gets crazier: Reports say Kara DioGuardi has also been let go by American Idol, leaving Randy Jackson as the last man standing in a major overhaul.
The show will reportedly be going back to the three-judge panel of years past, with Jackson and a couple of big-name newcomers: Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.
This comes amid rumors of everybody from Harry Connick, Jr., to Bret Michaels, Chris Isaak and even Jessica Simpson negotiating for judging spots in recent weeks.
Looks like J. Lo and the Aerosmith frontman won out. Kara could be asked back if the Lopez deal fell apart, but sources claim it is already a done deal. Wild stuff.
Assuming this is true, what do you think of the new American Idol panel? Is it a much-needed reboot or a desperate gimmick? Comment and discuss.
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: American Idol
I stopped watching AI when they let Paula go, When Simon Left I definitely stopped for good, If rumors are true and Steven Tyler and JLo are definitely judges, I will never miss a episode for the rest of my life, Steven Tyler is a Legend and a Rock God, thats what a Judge needs to be, someone who can give critizism based on real life knowledge...good job cast and crew, the judging has won me over!!!

[video] Quick Take: McEwen Founder Mines for Buys
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Although rising gold prices continue to aid in the recovery of the miners, TheStreet's Joe Deaux gets the inside scoop from Rob McEwen, CEO of McEwen Mining (MUX).
Shares of McEwen Mining are up 20% since the company reported second-quarter earnings earlier this month. Since making lows in July, the stock is up roughly 40%.
McEwen, who has a 49% equity interest in the company, said that other miners have become attractive during the selloff, because the market didn't bother to differentiate which companies were good and which were bad and opted to sell them all instead.
He added that the opportunity to combine with another company would not only make McEwen Mining bigger, but more profitable as well.The company has zero debt and luckily has cash. Finding financing after the stock selloff has become very difficult, and if companies do manage to find some, it usually comes with a stiff price tag. McEwen went on to say that it has caused some miners to postpone upcoming projects and is especially hard for those who are in the middle of projects, because the financing is so expensive but is also a necessity. He concluded by saying that McEwen's Argentina mine is a very consistent producer, with promising high-grade measures coming from its new mine in Mexico. The company is expecting another mine to be permitted near the end of the third quarter.

Meet the new Sony Alpha A900
Sony Minolta Alpha fans have been waiting for this day for the longest time, but the wait is over! The Alpha A900 is officially announced by Sony! The Sony USA press release can be found at the Imaging Insider, along with a handful of official camera body shots. Meanwhile at dpreview, we find a 13-page hands-on preview by Simon Joinson. The preview includes 39 samples, some taken with a pre-production unit. You can download the full size JPEGs if you like. One cat picture is included :-)
But wait, there's more! DC Resource has posted their own preview, while Imaging Resource has posted an almost complete review. Yes, a review, not preview!
But wait, there's even more! Production samples from A900 at Alpha Mount World. They have also posted their hands on preview. This is a site that specializes in Sonoltalpha, so they are more "tuned" to the Minoltans. And so is Photo Club Alpha which has posted a brief summary with more coming up later today.
There's more more! Michael McNamara has posted his hands-on first impressions after checking out a pre-production model at a sneak preview.
The price? Oh yes, the price. The price is close to the Chinese leak, it will start at $3000 and ship around November 2008. It will be available for pre-ordering at Sony Style starting tomorrow (Sept 10). For more on pre-orders, be sure to check the A900 pre-orders round-up.
Meet the Alpha A900
"You are finally here my one true love" say the Sony-Minolta-Alpha fans in unison. Okay, not exactly in those words, but look at the specs!
- 35mm full frame CMOS Exmor sensor at 25mp (24.6)
- two Bionic (Bionz) image processing engines
- SuperSteadyShot INSIDE - image stabilization inside the body, the first full-frame DSLR to do this. Estimated (by Sony) benefit is 2.5 to 4 stops
- 5-fps machine-gun mode (around a dozen RAW or JPEG files - see review)
- new mirror box with parallel-link mechanism
- 100% pentaprism OVF with 0.74x magnification
- Hot Shoe
- New (optional) VG-C90AM vertical grip (two InfoLithiums)
More Features
- The promised "Intelligent preview" is a "RAW preview" albeit on the camera, not on a computer. This will be talked in the forums!
- 3" LCD with 921k dots (not pixels), but no "Live View"
- Also top-LCD for those who like it (see it at dpreview)
- DRO with five levels, and DRO bracketing
- 13 Creative Stylues, 3 User Modes
- 100K shutter
- HDMI output
- and a lot more
Reactions to the announcement and previews coming up later today. We want to give Sonoltas some time to read and digest all the previews, reviews, samples and specs before starting the reactions round-up.
The A900 and two new lenses have been updated in the Photokina 2008 Situation Room.

Social Justice Fellow, LA County Education Foundation (LACEF)
This conversation is closed.
Are the short-term gains of hydrofracking worth the short & long term burdens of environmental/social injustice, as stated by the industry?
The reason why I pose this question is because, as a social science researcher/student within the STS field, such technology has posed questions with regards to risk assessment and how the industry perceives the disparities created by unconventional gas extraction. In addition to this, I've personally traveled and have done extensive research with respect to unconventional gas extraction in the Tri-State region (West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania), where the environmental and public health burdens are abundant to say the least. Issues of public health, environmental degradation, disenfranchisement of rural communities- all come with an economic cost, both in the short-run and long-run. Although there are no industry-neutral publications and/or research conducted in this field (there is little research available that has been conducted without favoring the industry), it has been an issue in the US and elsewhere in the world where energy independence dominates the conversation with regards to the environment and public health.
What are your thoughts on hydraulic fracturing?
Adelo Vant
Apr 22 2013: I couldn't have said it better. But, how can we help shift this governing body mindset to one that actually cares about their members of society? Up until when will we have to shift this mindset?
If recent events tell us anything, using the Keystone Pipeline spill in Arkansas and BP, it seems like it's going to take much more than that to actually get massive change going on.
Obama's energy policy is a fluke, exempting the industry from major environmental and public health regulations.
Apr 16 2013: to my understanding, fracking can not be reliably and directly linked to environmental harm. the harms that can be proven are connected not to fracking itself, but for example mishandling of toxic waste and such. the myriad of claims about harms of fracking itself are questionable and debated. after many hundreds of thousands of occasions, if we still have debated effects only, the effects can't be very severe.
but here is my proposal. why not we get rid of all regulations, and have only one in place: require fracking companies to cover their activities with unlimited insurance. deaths and injuries must be "priced" extremely high. obviously, the insurance company has to be big enough to actually pay billions of dollars if it is due. if not one single company is willing to offer such an insurance, have them form some alliance, sharing risks. if still no insurance company is willing to cooperate, then bad luck, fracking can not be done.
what are the benefits? for the company: they can do whatever they see fit to maximize output and minimize risk. the experts come up with solutions, not politicians. if their plans are sound, they will be able to find insurance coverage. for the people: all material harm is covered. all injuries and deaths are made very unlikely considering the huge cost associated with it. more to that, since both the drilling company and the insurance company have vested interest in avoiding harms, harm is not likely to happen at all. for liberty: politicians are excluded from the process, which in itself greatly increases the reliability of the process.
Apr 16 2013: Some of the harms associated directly with fracking include the seismic activity in some of the areas where it is present, with a notable case in Texas. And all of the associations attributed to fracking are properly linked to environmental harm as hydraulic fracturing includes of multiple processes, all which have a level of environmental degradation. The effects that come out in terms of health disparities and what not are ripple effects from the activity that induces them, as in this case, fracking.
You bring a very good point, the insurance aspect of the work, and this has been an issue not only with fracking itself, but with other activities such as offshore oil drilling, the sands in the Keystone Pipeline. It is one of the things that has been discussed at different legislative levels throughout the US, and there isn't much information on this available online as far as I am aware. But it's a very good point, and this then goes on to the risk assessment associated with unconventional gas extraction, which is a whole different topic as to how the industry assesses the risks, how the community assesses it, etc etc.
Apr 16 2013: Loose term or not, as discussed before in this thread, I do not think that a lengthy paper on the harms caused by hydraulic fracturing- environmental, sociopolitical, health, etc.- is needed on this. There are communities, citizens, areas of land that are heavily affected and are being disenfranchised by the fracking industry.
Apr 16 2013: Really? Wikipedia as a primary source?
The acquisition of my knowledge comes from working under world renowned professors, highly credible leaders in their field.
The tech has been around 10 years or so with little regulation. Any harms created by fracking-whether directly or indirectly- are caused by fracking and were not present prior to the implementation of such tech in the area.
Apr 16 2013: Where I live in Schoharie County we are on the chopping block for fracking; local communties have outlawed it but some homeowners and the gas industry have gone to court to overturn the local laws. The implications for the oil and gas industry are huge.
We have widespread karst topography, and, if any fracking fluid gets into the ground water, it could contaminate hundreds of wells, not just one well.
Fracking wells are industrial sites; when they are finished, the end product has a small foorprint.
Why does no one point out that burning a century's worth of natural gas is the same as burning 50 years worth of coal? Is that really an improvement?
Apr 16 2013: Thank you for your input and feedback, Richard. One of the things that communities in NY State and elsewhere in the country are doing is developing penal codes that would ban fracking in their municipalities, as I've seen in numerous cases throughout the state (I'm a student at RPI in Troy). The moratorium that is in place can only withstand so much with the amount of power the industry has at every level of the government, but I do hope that the communities that will be most affected here in the state are prepared for it (even though the moratorium does not allow for fracking to occur, the state is still accepting the waste from the Tri-State region, where it is most active).
You bring up an excellent point with the last two questions you mentioned. Is it really worth it? If anything, going to unconventional extraction methods for energy have posed more harm than good for what, only a few years' worth of energy supply? Nonetheless, even if we are extracting natural gas and all out here in the area, we still have to account for the harm done in the area with respect to mining, which is something the fracking industry is not taking into account for. It really is a complete mess to say the least.

Apr 16 2013: On the burning water propaganda, Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission says this:
Gasland (group who created the specious video) incorrectly attributes several cases of water well contamination in Colorado to oil and gas development when our investigations determined that the wells in question contained biogenic [naturally-occurring] methane that is not attributable to such development.
Apr 15 2013: G'day Ernesto
Not on your nelly. We have polluted the air, the ground, ground water now subterranean water supplies, we have got to be stupid or something.
PS Some people might find the following links interesting some won't of course.
Fracking links
Suppressed invention links
Apr 15 2013: Hi Mathew,
Seeing the fact that you're from Australia (looked at your page), has there been any fracking present over in your neck of the woods?
You bring up a very good point though. To what levels do we have to go in terms of sacrificing other sources just to keep quenching our thirst for energy? Fracking is definitely not the way to go, that's for sure.
Apr 15 2013: G'day Ernesto
I inserted a few links in my post but they didn't come up so here they are again for anyone interested.
Fracking links
Suppressed invention links
We have fracking in Australia however I don't think we have these wells around here that I know of.
So we sacrifice yet more of the very environment we rely on for our existence for what? A few dollars more for the multinationals & a few pennies for the workers who risk their very existence, if there's any aliens looking down at us they must be laughing their heads off at us for being so moronic, a bit of common sense goes a long way.
Apr 24 2013: OK, let's take this to the bottom.
All fracking is now stopped. Now what? Do we go back to coal for electric power? Do we stop using coal, it's worse then gas and more environmentally challenging. Can't expand nuclear, that's got even more problems... Now what?
While we are at it. All those oil wells working to make gasoline causing pollution. Let's stop that too!... Now what?
Some wag once said that we could exchange one horse for one car, Of course, it would take all of Canada to grow hay for the USA and all of Gulf of Mexico to hold the horse "waste". Of course, we all have to raise bees for candle wax.
Nothing is simple, no matter how noble.
Apr 17 2013: Ernesto: you come out of the paddock as a social scientist with problems with fracking. I was taken aback.
Seriously, I lived on top of the Pennsylvania dome where the first oil production came to be and now I live in Texas on the eagle ford dome.
So, fracking can provide an economical source of badly needed energy and don't tell me about algae, or corn or wind or or or as sources of electrical power. Gas also has the ability to be transformed into a transportation fuel faster then about anything else...
Now, the fracking industry does say that there are safety issues that they do address and the motivation for them is notable, because wasted gas into the earth crust is gas not sold. There are issues with the proprietary recipes used to hold the broken rock open to allow gas to escape. They have to report the materials to the Federal Government, but not the recipes which seem to cause great consternation.
For those who are "not happy" about fracking, the dangers are earth shattering, global ending events that will have us all choking on burning water laced with strange chemicals and/or being buried alive under massive earthquakes.
I got to believe the truth is somewhere in between. According to the talk by Mr. Pickens, the country needs more and more low cost energy to sustain our economy. Several lawsuits against fracking in Pennsylvania were dismissed due to the lack of evidence. Even the state environmental offices could not substantiate claims made by "fracking injured" parties.
I believe that, we should keep an eye on fracking operations and benefit from the abundance of natural gas that we have available.
Apr 22 2013: Mike, even if we keep an eye on fracking operations and jot down the issues, disasters, and accidents that are occurring with fracking (or unconventional gas extraction, whatever it may be), the exemptions that the industry is saved from being brought to justice would not help us bring about the right regulation for the technology itself.
In this case, as in much of the unconventional gas extraction that is occurring elsewhere, we cannot wait for the technology to better itself. We cannot wait to provide solutions to the issue: in fact, we need to implement regulations that would prevent from issues to occur in the first place.
Apr 23 2013: OK, but, what you are saying is not quite accurate. BP is on tap for tens of billions. There have be individuals in the past that have been jailed for screwing up the environment. One can say we can do more.
On the other hand, what regulations can you pass for future actions. Can you write a reg to cover everything?

Apr 16 2013: Mark and Brian
A similar thing happened locally in the city of Hinkley. It cost the customers of PG&E 333 million dollars. Note PG&E simply raises the price of their service to cover the cost. The causality remains dubious 50+ yr later.
A worker got sick when first experimenting with X rays with Tesla. He did not know that x rays would cause sickness. But look at how many lives were saved by experimenting with x rays.
Anecdotal stories are not science.
Apr 16 2013: It's funny how you use the Tesla example on this one. It only involves one individual and one discovery.
Fracking involves communities and tens of thousands of people being affected, all for a short-term energy gain that is not sustainable in any way whatsoever. Is it worth it? I don't think so.
Apr 14 2013: Here's an article on increased seismic activity:
Apr 14 2013: I'd like for you to view this video that my Professors and an Emmy award-winning producer Branda Miller have developed:
I went out there to the affected areas myself about a weekend ago, and just the exposure that I received within three days have left me with problems breathing. And I'd like to add that I grew up in an area where unconventional gas extraction is not even occurring, and this was only for three days. I can produce studies, articles, and reports if you'd like.
Apr 15 2013: Pat, do you believe fracking is worth it?
With every well drilled- and 32,000 wells per year are planned- a couple million gallons of freshwater are transformed into toxic fracking fluid. Some of that fluid will remain underground. Some will come flying back out of the hole, bringing with it other monsters: benzene, brine, radioactivity, and heavy metals that, for the past 400 millions years, had been safely locked up a mile below us, estranged from the surface world of living creatures. No one knows what to do with this lethal flowback- a million or more gallons of it for every wellhead. Too caustic for reuse as is, it sloshes around in open pits and sometimes is hauled away in fleets of trucks to be forced under pressure down a disposal well. Snd it is sometimes clandestinely dumped.
By 2012, 100 billion gallons per year of freshwater will be turned into toxic fracking fluid. The technology to transform it back to drinkable water does not exist.
Apr 15 2013: Thanks for those facts on fracking, Brian.
One of the things and conversations that I am trying to bring up is that we need more than the scientific method when exploring for unconventional energy supplies, fracking being one of them. To what extend do we have to sacrifice other things just to quench our energy thirst? Is the short-term gain of energy supplies worth the long-term issues in health, the environment?
Ben Jarvis 50+Apr 15 2013: no they're not, and we learned that a long time ago. still it doesn't stop a bunch of people declaring that fracking is great even though it is currently creating more problems than it is solving. history is a great teacher unless you willfully ignore it, and people do that either because they honestly don't understand, or are deliberately dishonest because they have a stake in the profits.

Apr 15 2013: Pat, world-renowned engineers, environmentalists, scientists, sociologists, and the average citizen knows that unconventional gas extraction does more harm than it does good. As I've said before in a summit: it doesn't take rocket science to figure it out. Let's say it generates x amount of capital in terms of energy, but at the same time it creates a+b+c+d+e+f+g...n of health care costs, environmental clean-up, and the whole nine yards. Will it then be worth it?
Such good example would be the Keystone XL Oil Pipeline. Look at what happened in Arkansas not so long ago. Are we going to wait until everyone gets messed up until elected leaders and the industry say, "merde, it wasn't a good idea afterall" ?

Primary elections were held in four states Tuesday, continuing a series of preliminary votes around the country this month and next to nominate candidates for fall's general election ballots. This first stage of voting is like a semi-final round to narrow the field so that each major political party – the Democrats and Republicans – winds up with one candidate for every office to be filled Nov. 7.
That means some lucky politicians can skip the primary because they're the only one running from their party. But lots of others – including some current members of Congress – are fighting to win re-nomination for their own jobs.
Although only about one-quarter of eligible voters, or even fewer, generally cast primary ballots, these local and statewide elections are an important part of the democratic process. Candidates campaign and advertise actively. Some primary races include televised debates. Newspaper editorial pages publish endorsement recommendations.
What jobs do candidates want? This is not a presidential election year (that comes in 2008), but 33 of the 100 U.S. Senate seats and all 435 U.S. House seats will be filled in November – and some of those Congress members face primary challengers from their own party.All kinds of local and state offices also are up for grabs. Primaries narrowed the field of candidates for school boards, city councils, township offices, mayors, judgeships and governors. Tennessee, Kansas and Oklahoma nominated candidates for governor recently, Connecticut picked two this week Tuesday and Nevada gets its turn next Tuesday.
What was Tuesday's most-watched race? Connecticut's veteran U.S. senator, Democrat Joseph Lieberman, lost a primary contest with fellow Democrat Ned Lamont. Lieberman was the vice-presidential nominee in 2000 on Al Gore's ticket. His defeat is big news because Lieberman largely supports President Bush's positions on invading Iraq and staying there, while Lamont does not.
Why participate? In districts where one party traditionally earns a solid majority, that side's primary amounts to the "real" election, in effect. Here's how a Connecticut newspaper editorial put it last week: "Primaries are the voters' chance to decide who will be on the ballot in the first place, who will carry the torch for the party, who will be the voice of the people. A primary election is indeed significant." – The Wilton Bulletin

Brandi Glanville cheated on Eddie Cibrian too
Brandi Glanville cheated on Eddie Cibrian several times before his affair with LeAnn Rimes and allegedly slept with another man in their bed just weeks after giving birth to their second son
Brandi Glanville allegedly cheated on Eddie Cibrian before his affair with LeAnn Rimes.
The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star - who has repeatedly blasted the 39-year-old actor for leaving her in 2009 for the 30-year-old 'Can't Fight The Moonlight' singer - reportedly enjoyed several flings during their eight year marriage.
A source told US Weekly magazine that the 40-year-old reality TV star also had sex with another man in their bedroom just six weeks after the birth of their youngest son Jake, now five.
The insider said: ''Brandi loves to play the victim but she doesn't tell the whole story.''
In her new tell-all memoir, 'Drinking & Tweeting and other Brandi Blunders', Brandi - who admits she still loves Eddie - claims she doesn't understand how the father of her two children found the ''extra energy'' to cheat on her with his now wife LeAnn because she thought they had a very fulfilling and loving marriage.
She ranted: ''Let's be clear. Eddie and I had an extremely healthy sex life (so where he got all that extra energy, I'll never be sure), but every so often we would run away together so we could make love in the middle of the afternoon. And he would kiss me the way he did when we had nothing but time.''
Her long-time rival LeAnn, who wed Eddie in 2011 after legally separating from her husband Dean Sheremet, is said to be ''shocked'' and in a ''fragile state'' after reading some of the excerpts from Brandi's book.

Target Field is giving baseball fans total control over their own beers with a new self-serve beer machine.
Here's a picture of the Pour Your Own Beer station now set up at Minnesota's Target Field pic.twitter.com/fGDYgvFK8L
— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) July 7, 2014
The machine, which is believed to be the first of its kind at ballparks, debuted on Sunday with a mix of Bud, Bud Light, Shock Top Lemon Shandy and Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale.
The new attraction will also be available to fans at the All-Star Game, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
To use the machines, according to the Associated Press, customers have to buy a card from a concession worker (who checks ID) and then can be used at the vending machine to tap 48 ounces every 15 minutes.
While this is a great idea in theory, it also poses a few dangers.
This sort of reminds us of the self-serve frozen yogurt stores that keep popping up around the country. It's a great idea in theory: You choose your own toppings and don't have to be make the quick decision of small, medium or large.
However, it's also the greatest test of self control (though unlike frozen yogurt shops, 48 ounces is the limit).
Once you go to the line to put your ice cream on the scale and find out it weighs three pounds and you get a disapproving look from the frozen yogurt cashier you can't put it back. Because once the beer or frozen yogurt is out of the machine, it is not socially acceptable to put it back in there.
Also beer in that large of amounts is potentially a lot more dangerous than too much frozen yogurt (though employees will be there to stop service if a customer appears too intoxicated, according to the Minnesota Star-Tribune).
Slurpees might be a better comparison for the self-serve machine though, meaning the second real danger will come in people trying to too creatively mix flavors — a Bud Light and Goose Island mix is just a curious customer's pull of the lever away.
Finally there's this point:
If self-checkout at the grocery store is any indication, the self-serve beer station at Target Field is going to be a cluster eff.

This might be the coolest beer invention since the beer fridge during the Olympics. Or this might be a disaster.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These Nostalgia Epic poems are examples of Epic poems about Nostalgia. These are the best examples of Nostalgia Epic poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
My Son Moon and Star ~
Approaching the celebration of his Birth
cherishing the gift I received
within weeks of conception I knew
something amazing was in Creation ~
the Stars held a party
sending me with one of their own
Gazing at 3 shooting stars twinkling crossing the sky
It was magic It was destiny taking its flight.
In love with an October full moon
drawing and painting I liked
thinking of Vincent Van Gogh ~
caught in a loss of time
Hours going by as choosing my color
a wittness to three falling stars
A clear night sky sparkle's
A once Famous Star was sent
inspiring the tiny child inside ~
Never a doubt in my mind at all
child bearing was worth any pain received
yours will be in a pursuit of a dream ~
one to cherish and hold
My Son was born the following August ~
working on the set of Grimm 3rd season this year
as the set of Leverage for 3 years .
Has done a Indie movie here
In Paris it was seen and honored
coming soon filmed in Portland ~
"The House of Last Things "
awaiting the credits , you will see
1st Assistant Director ~ production assistant
My Young Lion Mans dream ~
A proud mom I watch every show and the credits
as foretold in a whisper to me 25 years ago
My Son & Moon and Star
A name you will all know ~
Happy Birthday to my creative Son
you will exist in my heart forever~
and thereafter
You think you know him
But you refuse to see
The artful way he abuses me
He captivates my mind
He traps my soul
He pins my arms to my side
When I tell him just to go
He uses knife like words
To slice me with his tongue
His eyes are like daggers
Causing me to come undone
Harsh fingers press against my face
Proving im a Doll
To play with as he choses
Or throw against the wall
He taunts with cruel intentions
To make my heart bleed
Playing Devils advocate
Once I cry myself to sleep
Soft and bitter sweet
In an instant he turns to stone
A heart as cold as ice
Mean down to the bone
But you refuse to see
You glance the other way
And listen to his words
You join in his game
Each word he says is now a jest
Each look is a mistake
And when he grips painfully
He just meant to play
Close your eyes to his work
It really is an art
But no matter how you spin it
Inside he is an abusive jerk
"Back in my day" his stories all would start
I'd lean in close to listen though I knew 'em all by heart
He was a living legend, one of Texas' best
Not just another lawman with a tin star on his chest
He fought along "RIP" Ford & John Coffee Hayes
When Texas was wooly & wild, back in the good old days
"One Riot, One Ranger" I've heard it said many times before
from fighting off Commanches to turning the tide of a range war
A Ranger never faltered, never imagined he could lose a fight
He'd go hell bent for leather just to turn a wrong to right.
From Nueces to Salado Creek he patrolled the border land
Dealing out swift justice with a smoking Colt sitting easy in hand
Hardin, Iron Jacket & Sam Bass thought they could get away
The Rangers ran them down to ground, the stories still are told today
Great Granddad was a hero, one of Texas's best
Not just another lawman with a tin star on his chest
He passed on the legacy & the stories I'll now tell
as I hear his voice echo when I start off, " I remember well"
So tip your hat & raise your glass to the Rangers out there on patrol
and to all the Shadow Rangers, Rest in Peace, God rest your soul
Waves crash the rocks in ecstasy
as I pass the archway
to the sea.
Onwards to the village,
busy cafes,
the aroma of coffee brewing,
as a power of teens gather, texting.
I venture down
a chestnut lined road
under a canopy
of Copper Beech
where bright shafts of sun
illuminate a lane of lavender
a sea of perfume
wafts the air.
Climbing an incline,
hills in view,
the distant sobbing
of water sounds
a trickling brook emerges
ambling through magenta heather
and thorny gorse.
I reach a stile,
entrance to the woods
where a carpet
of frosted red cyclamen
bleeds down to a deep dark glen.
A chicory lake lies there, frozen
as a mist uncurls between reeds.
The granite hills,
soft with snow,
luminous against a whale grey sky.
A copse of pine trees
surround a curving river
where trout pout, bubbling.
At the fold of day,
returning hom
The pale sun sinks the horizon
as stars tremble
into a velvet night
My eyes can see
That the sand is like sea
And it stretches to the end of my mind
On a ship set to sail
with four legs and a tail
Tishmandu I set out to find
Now the wind is of sand
and can lend a hand
in tearing the flesh from your bone
So your head you keep wrapped
your snaps keep snapped
and you never travel alone
The heat at midday
is to kill and waylay
if the body and soul are not one
So you pray to the east
and prepare for slim feast
begging passage under full sun
Caravan of the seed
born on camels that breed
in an endless march between wells
Over lost count of dunes
under God and full moons
blessing passage with incense and bells
At the end of the day
when gold turns to grey
and the stars brighten the skies
A device is brought forth
to determine true north
and the path where Tishmandu lies
On the fortieth morn
pressing lips to the horn
a signal beckons us wake
Leaving water behind
on a course now refined
the final leagues we must take
Tishmandu is a place
where a white mans face
has never been seen or allowed
But the people have need
and my service agreed
in a land under sky without cloud
Like feathers of blue
in the distance I view
the flags on top of the walls
Though my limbs are worn
my very fabric is torn
I move towards Tishmandu halls
At last in the shade
a walled shelter is bade
I meet with the maker of rules
A service I bring
but to rules I must cling
or a tortures price must be paid
Twenty days and seven
in the passes of heaven
I treated the sick and the lame
With rules on my mind
the medicines I grind
The devil of Tish for to tame
As I washed the sick
and avoided blunt stick
the God of the desert did smile
For the people made well
in this fortified hell
where spirit is subject to trial
In the end I am paid
for the journey I made
and the healing and medicine new
On my camel back
salted meats in my pack
I Bid farewell to Tishmandu
RAMA, Ink
Will I Recognize… The Face Of Love?
Or the Wonderful, Bedazzled Appearance of:
A Moon-kist Meadow, Hushed and Dark
A Solitary Silhouette, this Beauty Mark,
Windswept Grasses, like a Babe's Soft Lashes
Rippling across Earth, that's smooth as a Cheek.
In the Hushed and Flowery Scented Air…
Your Face of Love Materializes, Silvery, Full
The Face of Love … is Unforgettable.
From the Face of Love … Will I Withdraw?
The Face of Love without Any Flaw;
As a Canopy of Clouds with the Splendor of Sunbeams
Piercing past the fluffy powder of Heaven, to Radiate Gleams
A Classical Cameo-Sculpture, Perfect Profile Structure
Yea… in the Bright Beacons, I see Your Smile
In the Illumed, Clear Sky, 'Your Face'
Can Love's Face be Touched … Attainable?
The Face of Love … is Unforgettable.
The Face of Love … I Have Visualized,
Potent, Breathtaking, The Vision Rised;
From a Sunlit Lake, Winking as Would Diamonds.
Your Face of Love, Emerging from Far Beyond
The Depths of the Lake, as My Heart Quaked,
because of the Wavering Portrait's Peace
because of Water-Color Caresses.
That Face of Love, was so Tangible.
The Face of Love … so Unforgettable
The Face of Love … has Gazed Upon
Dreams of Mine, the World's Not Known
… Out of the Woodland's Emerald Mist
With Drops of Dew, Love's Face Kissed
The Framing Boughs; My Relaxed Brow.
Floating… Breathing out the Mist of Morn Light
That I may Sketch Your Face of Love, in Life.
The Face … More Handsome, than Sons of the Womb, is Possible…
The Face of Love … is Unforgettable
(For A Medieval-Tongued Poet, I Found Here at The Soup...
Ismael Nieves, this one's for you Kiddo
Mistress MoonBee
Jab Meri Bechaini Mit Jayegi
Jab Mere Dilko Sukoon Mil Jayega
Yeh Khaalipan Mit Jayega
Do Pal Ki Chandni Ke Liye
Aj Bhi Zinda Hoon Main
Meri Khaamoshi Ke Ageh Aasmaan Bhi Khatam Ho Jayega
Kehne Ke Liye Toh Roz Marta Hoon Main
Thoda Aur Marne Ke Liye
Yeh Deewana Kal Phir Ayega
generic minds listen to generic music
have generic thoughts that are unknowingly abusive
watch generic things talk about generic things
gee this generic *****is spreading like a disease
better get your flu shot
thats what they said to me
a suicidal vaccine
a subliminal killing spree
its contagious and the outrageous
thing about it is that the people are blind in an eye
that they didn't even know they had
it's sickening to watch these clueless civilians
inside the looking glass
with nightmares of being free
without a key to their mind
for it is trapped in the frequency
in the illusion of time
bathed in our universe
killing all that refuse to see
those that admit to hypocracy
or see the message in hip hop
how cant you see
the message in the lyrics that
bring adolescents to their knees
from bullet wounds conflicting their flesh
contradicting that they're the best
but the songs keep telling them that they dont need no rest
that they dont wanna go home
that they should ride alone
with the gat as their only companion
and so the only path they choose is the one that they're told
until they grow old and hope turns to a window pane
inside a window pane, until all they feel is pain
they realize that the music itself is ashamed
so whats to look up to
when you cant even speak when you cant even walk because you look so bleak
your eyes are sunken from the tv you're infested with the dee zees
now its too late to turn around and live for your conscious
so when youre screaming oh please
close your eyes and bring your mind to life
open your eyes for the first time
and never wonder why
since the answer this entire time
has been inside
and you better find it before you die
you dont want your soul to be in a pool with all the others
a buncha brothers missing their mothers
but only seeing strangers
only feeling the haters
wishing they would have used their minds when they had them
and now its too late,
now it's time for another new born fate to grab them
This morning the taste of mint and chocolate
Upon my tongue
My exposed nipples under my silky gown
you whisper words in my ear
that I never heard before
I sigh! with admiration as I tiptoe
to reach for your kiss
I put my arms around your neck
You whispered softly
Make me hard with your eyes
Be my dark surprise
Ha! Ha!
Why the laughter?
Babe! it my way of saying yes!
Oh! yes! oh yes
and more
Written January 8, 2013
The morning blues in a lily on the pond
Wake on the wrong side of the road
Penniless pockets play the vagabond game
Ride the tiger recently tamed
On a long road to nowhere, horizon's stain
All's my name sitting next to me
Lie down with graceful angels deep in the snow
Or on wet grass recently mowed
I've grown accustomed to the scent of your mane
Spelled chug-chuga-chug is my name
Oh why do flowers never bloom in the snow?
They never have a chance to grow
No, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore
The oaks and pines getting clearer
Much to a land unafraid to spread its wings
Listen to Woody Guthrie sing
Bacon sizzles in the rain and sunshine reigns
We've reached the line of no return
Of the big rock candy mountain we will sing
For the next week my phone won't ring

Cork Wine Bar, West Village's state-of-the-art wine bar and retail boutique, is proud to announce that after the success of its popular Wine 101 series, they will offer two new courses for wine lovers starting this April.
Cork Wine Bar in Dallas Offers Wine Education Series
Nolan Creek Winery
http://winesofnolancreek.com Nolan Creek Winery is located in downtown Belton and is owned by Phil Monge and Vira Chudasma. The urban winery opened in February 2013. I found the winery in "The Gin" which is a marketplace in Belton with restaurants and stores. As their website states, "they have joined winemaking with a wine bar," and what a nice wine bar with a large wine selection they have. The menu is often changed so it is different.
The Boerne Wine Company
http://www.boernewinecompany.com The Boerne Wine Company is located in Boerne and they opened on April 1, 2010. This is a business where the owner prefers to remain anonymous. I received an email from Tom Geoghegan last year inviting me to visit The Boerne Wine Company when I was in the area. I had previously looked at their website while making sure my list of Texas wineries was up-to-date, but they seemed like a wine bar instead of a winery. Tom confirmed they [Read More...]
NICE Winery Tasting Room to Open Friday Nights with Us!
Update: Thanks to those who came out to visit us on Friday nights but the Friday night's Nicer After Hours has now closed. Gloria and I have some exciting news which we have been eager to share. First, I want to apologize for my April Fool's joke this year about us opening a winery. I thought it would be funny and obvious, but a lot of people took it seriously. I swear today's news is the truth! When we joined [Read More...]
New Year's Eve at Messina Hof
Gloria and I decided to do something for this past New Year's Eve instead of sitting at home so the decision was made to attend Messina Hof's Winter Wonderland New Year's Eve Celebration. Wine friends Laurie and Shelly Ware from Cleburne decided to join us. Laurie and Shelly had visited Messina Hof once before but never had the chance to take a tour. We decided to go early to Messina Hof to enjoy a tour before the evening's festivities. Unfortunately [Read More...]
The Cellar Door
http://www.cellardoorkaty.com The Cellar Door is located in Katy and is owned by Ron and Don Ray Holsomback. When we first visited The Cellar Door, we were immediately impressed with the winery as it has one of the most beautifully adorned tasting rooms we have seen. The furnishings and décor make it a place where you can feel comfortable relaxing. There are many high tables in the center of the room with booths also around the room. A lounge area with [Read More...]
The Empty Glass
I have never written about a wine bar before but I am making an exception in this case since The Empty Glass wine bar serves approximately 60% Texas wines. http://www.theemptyglass.com The Empty Glass is located in Tomball and opened in September 2012 with a Grand Opening on October 6. Dana Kelly is the owner and Amber Brown is the general manager. Since we are always looking for a good local wine bar, we visited The Empty Glass when it first [Read More...]
La Buena Vida Vineyards – Grapevine and La Bodega Winery
http://www.labuenavida.com Update: La Bodega Winery has closed and La Buena Vida Vineyards – Grapevine is no longer a winery. La Buena Vida Vineyards is in Grapevine and is owned by Gina Puente. There is also a La Buena Vida Vineyards location in Springtown which is owned by Dr. Bobby Smith and was first bonded in 1978. He opened a second location which was moved to Grapevine in the early 1990's and was Grapevine's first winery and tasting room. In 2006, [Read More...]

http://www.kiepersol.com/kecellars/rockwall.shtml KE Cellars Winery is located in Rockwall and is owned by Jenniffer and Bill Norman. KE Cellars, owned by Kiepersol Estates Vineyards in Tyler, has now opened two other locations in Texas. The location in Rockwall however is actually a franchise which differentiates it from the others with the Winery name. KE Cellars Winery first opened at The Harbor in Rockwall on August 9, 2011. They closed the location on March 9 and then re-opened in their new location [Read More...]
4.0 Cellars
http://fourpointwine.com 4.0 Cellars is located in Fredericksburg and is a collaboration between three Texas wineries: Brennan Vineyards (Comanche, TX), Lost Oak Winery (Burleson, TX), and McPherson Cellars (Lubbock, TX). The owners of each winery are together the owners of 4.0 Cellars. The name 4.0 Cellars is inspired by the three separate wineries that came together to form a matchless fourth winery, but the name also includes their common goal of striving for 4.0 perfection. Each of the three wineries strives [Read More...]

Found April 17, 2013 on Sliding Into Home:
PLAYERS: Andy Pettitte, Derek Jeter
TEAMS: New York Yankees
TEAMS: New York Yankees
First for the good news:Andy Pettitte went through his bullpen session without a problem yesterday and proclaimed himself "good to go" for his start Friday in Toronto. "Everything is where I want it," said Pettitte, who was scratched over the weekend after suffering back spasms. "They want to see how I feel after [the bullpen]. Hopefully there's no tightness tomorrow after I worked it as hard as I did today." Pettitte said he felt fine during the 35-40 pitch session yesterday, but pitching coach Larry Rothschild noted his last bullpen went well in Cleveland and his back stiffened later. "It was a good decision, so I don't second guess it," Pettitte said of being pushed back. "I hope I go Friday and it's not that big of an issue."And now the bad:Derek Jeter still is trying to rehabilitate his injured ankle and is not close to appearing in rehab games, making a return in early May a remote possibility at best. After taking the weekend off to rest his ankle, Jeter has lightened his workload in Tampa as he tries to manage his recovery. The New York Yankees have said when Jeter is finally ready to play in games, he will need close to a full spring training before he will be prepared to return to the majors.
