Photography Workshops
Historic photographic processes have become an exciting alternative and even complementary technique to digital imaging. At George Eastman House, participants not only get hands-on instruction on the processes, but also get to view prime examples from the Museum's incomparable collections.
No prior experience is necessary for most of these workshops. They are suitable for artists, photographers, students, teachers, and anyone interested in using these rare 19th century processes in the 21st century.
Don't see the process you'd like to learn? We teach a wide variety of early photographic techniques in private group workshops and individual tutorials. We offer workshops all over the world, and events can also be held at an institution near you. Ask about arranging a workshop or illustrated lecture to suit your needs.
For more information or to register, contact us at (585) 271-3361 ext. 323 or by e-mail at photographicworkshops geh org.
Start-up funding for this workshop series was provided by a grant from Howard and Carole Tanenbaum.
September 24, 2014 through September 26, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at George Eastman House.
Sold out! Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to be put on the waiting list.
Learn to make your own wet collodion direct positives on glass during this three-day, hands-on workshop with Mark Osterman, internationally respected as a modern master of the medium.
Handmade Gelatin Dry Plate Making II
October 7, 2014 through October 10, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at George Eastman House.
Second session added due to popular demand!
This workshop will teach you how to make your own photo emulsion, similar to the commercial products used by fine art photographers. You'll learn the basic concepts and then be guided step-by-step by Process Historian Mark Osterman and Historic Process Specialist Nick Brandreth to make a silver bromide emulsion suitable for plates to be used in the camera.
Carbon Printing for Beginners
October 22, 2014 through October 24, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at George Eastman House.

Sold Out! Please email email@example.com to be placed on a waiting list.
Developed-out salt prints have the same aesthetic as platinum prints, but can be made at a fraction of the cost. In addition, these prints are as stable as platinum prints. This is the first public workshop of this unearthed medium. Help us bring this process back to life.
NEW: American Ivorytype
December 3, 2014 through December 5, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at George Eastman House.
The American Ivorytype has the appearance of a hand-painted ivory miniature. We're excited to teach a workshop on this process at George Eastman House for the very first time.

In your working conditions avoid everyday mediocrity. Semi-relaxation, to a background of insipid sounds, is degrading. On the other hand, accompaniment by an etude or a cacophony of voices can become as significant for work as the perceptible silence of the night. If the latter sharpens the inner ear, the former acts as a touchstone for a diction ample enough to bury even the most wayward sounds.– Walter Benjamin's advice on your daily creative environment, from his 13 rules of writing. Pair with the daily routines of famous writers. (via explore-blog)

Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we've missed the chance to have had other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounds like a quiet tragedy.– Douglas Coupland (via inmemoryofcookie)
– Virginia Woolf on the allure of reading famous diaries and letters (via explore-blog)
How far, we must ask ourselves, is a book influenced by its writer's life — how far is it safe to let the man interpret the writer? How far shall we resist or give way to the sympathies and antipathies that the man himself rouses in us — so sensitive are words, so receptive of the character of the author? These are questions that press upon us when we read lives and letters, and we must answer them for ourselves, for nothing can be more fatal than to be guided by the preferences of others in a matter so personal.
But also we can read such books with another aim, not to throw light on literature, not to become familiar with famous people, but to refresh and exercise our own creative powers.

2nd-3rd Grade Math Pentathletes
University Hills 2nd and 3rd grade math pentathletes made a wonderful showing at the regional competition! These students have been training for 5 very challenging, math-related games for the last couple of months and their hard work paid off. They competed against other students from around the region on Saturday, March 22 at Farmington High School. This endeavor requires that they learn the game, all the rules of the game and develop strategies to best their opponents.
These students brought home two golds, one silver, two bronzes and two honorable mentions to a very proud University Hills!

University Hills is so proud of how these students continually reach out with helping hands into the community!
University Hills Spirit Council Helps Meals on Wheels
Nearly 70 third, fourth and fifth graders gathered in December to create holiday cards to be sent to our troops and to compile "Snowman Soup" (aka hot cocoa with the trimmings) packets for Meals on Wheels. This is just another example of the fine work that these community-minded students accomplish!

Spirit Council Helps with Community Raking
University Hills Spirit Council, a group of community service minded third through fifth graders, gave some of their time after school raking for community seniors. This group works together to make a difference in their community through public service.

University Hills is very proud of these students and this organization!

Because of my engineering ba...
I bought this car used and wished I would have did more research and if you have one I suggest you get rid of it. There's a loud noise at times, have did some research and some people say its a noise cancellation problem inside the speakers. The biggest problem I'm having is the IMA battery. The engine light and the IMA came on at the same time took it to the dealership they said I needed the r...
My instrument panel no longer indicates that the IMA is operating. Thus I have no idea if I still have a Hybrid or only using gasoline. Originally a green light/line of lights on the left and blue on the right indicated charging and assist. In the center was a small green light indicating ECON. Now I just have a small white square on all the time the engine is on. I don't know if this is a...

SPOKANE -- KREM 2 Sports is the first to confirm that Gonzaga freshman guard G.J. Vilarino has decided to leave the men's basketball team.
G.J.'s father, Gerardo, confirmed his son's departure Friday night in phone call from McKinney, Texas. He said they felt G.J. should have had received more playing time this year and they didn't want the same thing to happen next season.
Gerardo added that there are no hard feelings toward Gonzaga, it's just a matter of finding the right fit for his son. G.J. is getting interest from several other universities, including schools in the Big Ten and Big 12. Gerardo would not name specific schools though.
Vilarino originally signed to play under Billy Gillespie at Kentucky, but was allowed to look elsewhere after Gillespie was fired. That's when he decided to come to Gonzaga. He was born in Spokane while his dad was stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base and still has family in the area.
In his one season with the Bulldogs, Vilarino played in 25 games (no starts), averaging 7.8 minutes, 2.3 points, and 0.5 rebounds per contest.
We're obviously keeping a close eye on the situation. Stay tuned to KREM 2 News and KREM.com for more on this story.

Botox, it's not new. Since 1973, a purified Botulism toxin has been used to weaken overactive muscles that caused facial tics or crossed eyes. It's also been injected in the arm pits and hands to release excessive sweating.
Doctors and patients have long noticed a positive side effect, that when Botox weakens the muscle, the skin over it relaxes and wrinkles often disappear. Now that the FDA has approved Botox for cosmetic use, patients are lining up, and doctors who've been quiet about using it for wrinkles are openly promoting it now.
When Dr. Michael Lehman said to me, "Why don't you stop by, and I'll give it to you." I said why not? I took my 40 something wrinkles into his office, not really knowing what Botox does to stop a wrinkle.
"It's like a brick wall. It goes in there and selectively inhibits the site," says Dr. Lehman. After a few questions, I laid back and waited for my shot in the head. The needle was small, about a half inch, and surprisingly, it didn't hurt. There's no blood, and no results yet. It turns out, it takes a few days to see the wrinkles smooth out.
The convenience in this procedure is that patients can literally have this done during their lunch hour with no tell tale signs where they've been, and Dr. Lehman says this is not exclusive to the baby boomer age group. "A very wrinkly person in his 70s can be smooth across the forehead in a week's time," says Dr. Lehman.
The only drawback, it doesn't last forever, only about three or four months. Although, Dr. Lehman says that if you have it done regularly, the injections begin to last longer and the wrinkles get even smoother.
The only side effects are two out of every 100 patients may have some drooping of the eye or mouth, if the muscle near it relaxes too much. However, that goes away in a week or two. There may be some bruising at first or a mild headache after the injections, but most would agree the procedure is quick and easy and the results are dramatic, but not cheap. The cost? About $500.
Already, Botox is Allergan's biggest product. Sales worldwide are expected to climb to $420 million this year. Important note: there are some people who should not have this done. If you are pregnant or nursing or if you have certain neuromuscular conditions, you are advised against using Botox.

I could not find if this has already been suggested, but when I had a DirecTivo, if there was space available on the DVR and it didn't conflict with other recordings the DVR would automatically record shows that it would think I like based on my current series recordings. It was a nice way of discovering new shows that fit the category of things I liked, in addition it was good for having something to watch as sometimes there wasn't anything compelling on at the time and I already viewed my recorded shows. Also, I don't always want to spend $$ for On-Demand especially when I shell out $20 for a MRDVR.

Charlie Daniels: Interviews with Jenn Findley on Doin' it Dylan CD
Jenn: I was sent the CD "Doin' it Dylan" and I thought, well, if someone is going to do it Dylan style, well, Charlie Daniels can."
Charlie: "Well, thank you."
Jenn: "Tell me more about 'Doin' it Dylan' and your experience with the acoustic sets along with honoring Bob Dylan."
Charlie: "Well, let's say it like this. The Dylan thing came about like this, we were asked to do some music for a TV show called 'Hell on Wheels' it's on one of the cable channels must have been on New Years Day. It takes place back in the 1800's so we had to stick with instruments from then.
And we hadn't done an all acoustic with the whole thing, and when we got together for this piece, the way the band sounded so differently and everything, we said, 'Well, let's do an album like this'.
I thought I'd love to play tribute to Bob Dylan, I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan, and worked with him in the past, and have great admiration for him and what he's done and what he's accomplished. So, a 'Let's do it Dylan' album, but a 'Charlie Daniels Band' album of Bob Dylan songs. We approached it from the foreign concept of let's choose songs that we could put a mark on. Let's not do Dylan's version of it, let's not do anyone else's version of it, and let's do it the 'Charlie Daniels Band' way. So we did and there were certain songs we couldn't do. I couldn't do 'Lay Lady Lay' I wanted to really bad. I played the original version. I could not find a way to do it without falling back into the way it was done before. It's always been one of my favorites Bob Dylan tunes and I couldn't find a way to make it work in a new way. So we just moved on. We tried to keep it songs we could adapt; songs we could put our mark on."
Jenn: "I was thinking that because of the nature of the songs that you chose, it would be appropriate for this discussion. I think it's fabulous that you played music with instruments from the 1800's by the way."
Charlie: "It's just acoustic. When it's everything you're around…we just never had done an album where everybody but the whole van kept going on tour with one instrument or whatever. It was a different sort of sound for us. That's why we ended up doing this album which was a new thing [for us]."
Jenn: "How do you feel stepping outside of the box? You have so much music out there that is so recognized you stepped into new territory and I like it."
Charlie: "I don't really have a comfort zone. I don't really have any parameters. I just do whatever. There's no telling what we may do. The music end that you've heard on the radio and that most people are familiar with has kind of a style to it and stuff, but if you came to hear us in person, you'd hear Country, Bluegrass, Gospel, we play some of every sound.
I don't put limits on what we do. It was nothing new to us to do something new. We differ somewhat.
Actually there is nothing we won't try."
Jenn: "I hear the bluegrass, I hear the gospel, I hear the southern style, I hear different things in your music, and I commend your adaptability. When I put in a 'Charlie Daniels Band' CD, I don't feel like it's a song I'll hear 20 times over and over again. The songs aren't repetitious."
Charlie: "You understand exactly what I was saying. What I was saying I just don't put any parameters on. I think, Jenn, I've never said that we're a country band. I never said we weren't but I never said we were.
When you start putting labels on yourself, you start ending up trying to feel like you fall into a genre, that particular sound, and 'Charlie Daniels Band' is not about that. It's about music, and I don't feel I shouldn't play anything when it comes down to it, that I feel good about."
Charlie Daniels is about as forthcoming an artist as there is. He plays what he feels good about, he doesn't set boundaries on his music, and don't' dare to pigeonhole him into one category, because he'll just break loose to prove he's more capable than that.
I had a great time speaking with him, and look forward to our in-depth interview in a couple weeks talking more about his genuine belief system, political, and true to the heart.
Charlie Daniels does things to serve the above, as he says that Bob Dylan's song, "Serve Somebody" means that you either serve the devil or you serve God. I look forward to this interview coming up with Charlie.

Remembering September 11
Photo: President George W. Bush holds the badge of George Howard, a police officer killed in the September 11 attacks.
On September 20, 2001, President George W. Bush addressed a Joint Session of Congress. Toward the end of his speech, the president held up the NYPD silver badge and said,
"I will carry this. It is the police shield of a man named George Howard who died at the World Trade Center trying to save others. It was given to me by his mom, Arlene, as a proud memorial to her son. It is my reminder of lives that ended and a task that does not end."

The Quest for Answers - Week of Jan. 27
Can spirits be called from the dead?
Verse: 1 Samuel 28:12
Clearly, something supernatural happened in the house of the medium that night.
The woman saw "a ghostly figure coming up out of the earth." Traditionally a number of perplexing questions have swirled around this passage of Scripture. Was this woman actually able to bring someone up from the dead or was she an expert faker? Did Samuel actually appear or was this old man (see 1 Samuel 28:14) a demon playing the role of Samuel? Did Samuel appear as a result of the medium's power or did God intervene and raise Samuel himself?
An element of mystery surrounds this story, and it would be presumptuous to claim that we have all the answers. This episode seems to affirm a realm beyond the ordinary physical world—a spiritual realm that can somehow interact with the world in which we live. Though the scientific mind-set of Western culture has numbed our sensitivity to the reality of spiritual forces, the Bible confirms the reality of the unseen world. In Ephesians 6:10-18, Paul describes the Christian life as a kind of warfare, and he urges his readers to prepare to encounter an opponent not of flesh and blood but of spiritual forces of evil.
We need wisdom to know how to respond to the attacks of the enemy. Occult practices can both intrigue us and frighten us. While acknowledging the reality of the spiritual forces of evil and the deceitful practices of Satan, who "masquerades as an angel of light" (2Co 11:14), we are urged to resist him and stand firm in the faith (see 1 Peter 5:9).

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Honestly, this school failed me. Not report card wise but for life in general. The teachers don't care and your can completely slip by in every subject without learning anything.
There is never a dull moment at Arthur Hill. Not only do I learn from the teachers, but I learn alot from the students as well.
poor staff it took me a year to get my kids transcripts and only got 1 of my kid and not both
Arthur Hill is a 'fair' school for your children to attend. I currently have 2 children attending their, however I am not impressed with all of their academics. - I give it a thumbs up for exposing students to most cultures.- When it comes to major sports (basketball, football) it is top notch. - When it comes Some of the other extra curricular activities, I see a lot of mediocrity. - You will also find that a number of the teachers lack interest in their career. It has been one too many times that my children have been marked absent (unexcused) from a class, when they have gotten prior permission from the instructor or main office. - I have resorted to going online to check attendance regularly, and following up with the teacher via email to correct their errors. This can be very frustrating and time consuming.
The academic programs vary. there are alot of them. Have very good basketball both girls and boys. Have alot of sports. The band is all right could be better. The art is also good.
I'm a senior at Arthur Hill. Overall, my four years at Arthur Hill have been pretty good. There are the teachers who are there I think only to get a paycheck, but the ones that have that passion to teach are the ones who make it worth coming to school. The students get along most of the time, but there have been problems with fights. School spirit is high, and staff, whether it be parapros, counselors, teachers, or even the principals try to help whenever they can.

Homosexuality cure? There's an app for that
I have been suffering with chronic homosexuality for a few years now and recently, I have thought, "Enough is enough, I'm going on Embarrassing bodies to see if they will refer me to a specialist." When I went out, people would point and laugh at me because of my condition. I just wanted my life back.
The prospect of exposing my homosexuality to the nation and having a lubricated finger poked into it was a small price to pay for the promise of a confirmed diagnosis and treatment. Perhaps they will use laser treatment? Or a steroid cream to rub into my eyebrow piercing? Or surgery where my checked shirt and Converse will be removed and I will have a dress constructed from the fat in my cheeks?
Setting Captives Free: a Christianity-based app
I was relieved when Dr Christian Jessen explained that actually surgery was not necessary, and he prescribed me an app called 'Setting captives free'. He said that a lot of people had tried it and that it never worked, so I was excited to give it a try, hopeful that at least I could bring my condition to a manageable state, one where I could marry a man and only have fantasies about Mila Kunis every month or so.
So I went on Google Play (Apple had withdrawn the app amid complaints) and downloaded it for free. The icon showed a Christian cross next to a ball and chain. The app told me "Every day we help people just like you find freedom from habitual sins and learn to grow in grace." Sounded promising!
I was a little perturbed, however, by the reviews on Google play, with 407 out of the 483 reviewers giving it only one star. Here are some of the comments:
"It seems the programmers didn't include a section on how to stop being bigoted idiots."
"Don't you closet gays have anything better to do with your time?"
"Not only am I *still* a lesbian, but I crave vagina more than ever."
These are a couple of the comments left by those who were in support of the app:
"BTW there is no such word as homophobic. That's an invention of the homosexul [sic] community."
"You're not gay bashing, you're trying to help the broken."
The "Door of Hope" and "Sexual Purity"
I clicked on the "Door of Hope" (a sixty-day interactive course) under the heading of "Sexual Purity". The other "Sexual Purity" courses were "Teen purity", "Breaking the addiction of pornography", and one for spouses of those struggling with sexual impurity. It turns out that I could treat my sexual impurity and enjoy a "newfound relationship with the Lord."
Day 1
First of all, I had to pray before reading the lesson. Then I answered these questions:
- Why do you want to be free of homosexuality?
- Analyse your reasons listed above. Did they come from a desire to please God? If not, are you willing to set aside personal agenda and make pleasing God your primary objective?
This was confusing; Dr Christian Jessen hadn't said anything about God. But I went ahead with it anyway because they made it seem as if pleasing God was really important.
Day 2
The first question threw me into a further state of confusion:
- Have you been feasting on God's word?
I didn't really know what "feasting" would entail so I was fairly sure that I hadn't done it. Then there was a lot about Jesus and a woman drinking water.
Farewell old friends!
The app told me to put in place an adequate internet filter, presumably to stop me Googling Mila Kunis, watching The Real L Word, and listening to Lucy Spraggan's single.
I resolved to stop my addiction to the Ladies' pond on Hampstead heath and, with great sorrow, I burned every piece of Superdry clothing that I owned. It was time to say goodbye to my old life. I went to G-A-Y basement one last time; never again would I feel the sticky floor beneath my feet, nor get frisked by the Lesbian bouncer.
Fast-forward to day 60
Jeanette Winterson's adoptive mother once said to her, "Why be happy when you could be normal?" It seems that I couldn't be either. I had a major relapse on day 60; I binged on The L Word and bought Diva. The guilt was terrible. I was in a position where I couldn't be "normal", and how could I be happy when I was now filled with self-loathing about my "sins"? I gave the app one star on Google play (zero stars was not an option) and went to Twat Boutique.

December 11, 2005
Albany-- With the pending freezing temperatures, you should remember your four P's. Number one is your person.
Stay bundled up and keep thermostats at a comfortable level. But before you settle in, you may want to consider heading to the nearest hardware store.
"We've seen a pretty good increase of customers coming in for these types of items," says Alvin Douglas of Home Depot. These items fall under the second "P", your pipes. Lower temperatures put them in danger of freezing.
"Without these things, we run the risk of pipes bursting and calling the plumber out and we all know how costly that can be," says Douglas. It's best to get some type of insulation. "These can go around the pipes at the water heaters or underneath the cabinets around the pipes, the kitchen sink, bathroom, those places," says Douglas.
Use a sealer to fill cracks and crevices where cold air may be hitting pipes. Leave cabinet doors open below the sink so that warm air can circulate and you may even want to apply a little heat with a water pipe heat cable. "It goes up to about 40 degrees heat, keeping the pipes nice and warm preventing freezing there," says Douglas.
Next "P" on the list? Your outside plants. Freezing temperatures cause frost. "The safest is always take them inside. With that you have to make sure you change your watering schedule because they dry a lot quicker inside," says Home Depot Garden Specialist Joe Lamb.
You can also use a frost blanket. "A lot of tropicals, palms and things of that nature that they have out right now. Most of them need to be covered up or taken inside," says Lamb. Last but not least, your pets, a big priority on your list of P's. Bring them inside to keep them safe.
With these tips, braving the freezing temperatures may be a little easier and you'll be better prepared.
Another suggestion is to leave kitchen and bathroom faucets dripping overnight to prevent freezing.

Nagi G. Ayad, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Psychiatry
Description of Research
Dr. Ayad studies cell cycle transitions in the developing nervous system. Dr. Ayad's laboratory identified essential proteins required for controlling mitotic entry and exit and also demonstrated that cell cycle proteins are present and active in the developing nervous system and fully differentiated neurons. Specifically, the research group uncovers the mechanism through which the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C) and other cell cycle regulators such as Casein Kinase 1, Fblx15, and Wee 1 control cell proliferation, cycle exit, and differentiation. These neural progenitor cell cycle proteins are kinases and ubiquitin ligases that are targets in cancer. Thus, the Ayad laboratory is searching for novel molecular pathways that control neural development and are targets in cancer. This is accomplished using a multi-disciplinary approach that utilizes whole genome siRNA, cDNA, and small molecule cell-based screens to develop therapies directed against cancer.
Although a great deal is known about the regulatory mechanisms controlling cell cycle transitions, gaps in our understanding persist. For instance, one of the most important decisions a dividing cell must make is whether to proliferate or exit the cell cycle. Yet it is not fully understood how this decision is made. The Ayad laboratory has previously uncovered a requirement for the APC/C-Cdh1 complex for exiting the cell cycle. It demonstrated that APC/C-Cdh1 induces degradation of Skp2, which allows for p27 accumulation, and cell cycle exit of cerebellar granule cells in the developing cerebellum (Harmey et al., 2009). This finding is in keeping with studies in other model systems demonstrating that achieving a certain threshold level of p27 is important for initiating cell cycle exit of neuronal precursors, muscle cell precursors, and lens epithelial cells (Li et al., 2007), (Wu et al., 2007). The Ayad laboratory is building upon these findings to discover novel small molecules that are targets in medulloblastoma, glioblastoma, and other cancers.
One of the main lines of investigation from the Ayad laboratory is to understand the role of Casein kinase 1 (CK1) in proper cell cycle progression and exit in the developing nervous system. The Ayad laboratory has identified a novel CK1/inhibitor (FKL135), which is more potent than previously described inhibitors. FKL135 potently inhibits cerebellar granule cell proliferation. Dr. Ayad's laboratory is using this inhibitor to assay the contribution of CK1 and CK1 to cerebellar granule cell neurogenesis. In addition, in collaboration with Scripps Florida the Ayad laboratory is modifying FKL-135 to make it more selective for CK1 over other kinases. Already modified versions of this inhibitor have been identified and have potently inhibited proliferation of various cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. Ongoing studies will test the effects of these new inhibitors in mouse models of medulloblastoma and gliobalstoma since recent exciting PK studies have demonstrated that these molecules cross the blood-brain barrier.
- Identified two novel cell cycle proteins Tome-1 and sororin, which are overexpressed in multiple cancers
- Demonstrated that the APC-Cdh1 complex targets the oncogene Skp2 for degradation
- Discovered a requirement for the tumor suppressor protein complex APC-Cdh1 for exiting the cell cycle in cerebellar granule cell progenitors, which are the cells that give rise to the most prevalent pediatric brain tumor, medulloblastoma
- Demonstrated that the cell cycle protein Wee1 is targeted for degradation via its activation domain
- Developed a cell-based high-throughput means of identifying parts of proteins required for protein turnover
- Developed ultra-highthroughput means of identifying small molecule inhibitors of Wee1 destruction
- Identified highly specific small molecule inhibitors of GSK-3 and CK-1 through collaborations with Scripps Florida. These molecules are currently being tested in mouse models of medulloblastoma and glioblastoma

In a recent ACLU case, Lily Haskell was arrested for attending a protest of the Iraq War, but was never charged with anything. When she was required by police to provide DNA, she requested a lawyer, and at that point she was told that she would be charged with a misdemeanor if she did not provide a DNA sample. This raises the question: why was a person who was only exercising her right as an American to protest, treated the same as every other criminal in America. For merely attending a protest event, she was arrested and forced to provide DNA to law enforcement. What happened to Ms. Haskell can and is happening to people across our nation. Government is finding any excuse possible to collect your DNA.
All levels of government are beginning to maintain databases of citizens DNA. Whereas in the past, the fingerprint was the method that law enforcement used to identify criminals; now, government is using any excuse necessary to extract and store one's DNA. Data basing efforts include cataloging infant DNA after necessary testing, cataloging prisoner DNA, and collecting DNA from suspects to help law enforcement pinpoint "criminals". DNA data basing is becoming a trendy option for not only for the federal government, but some state governments as well. The federal government requires DNA samples from suspects arrested on federal crimes, prior to any conviction or trial whatsoever. Twenty-one states require DNA sample collection from arrestees. Opponents maintain that this is a violation of fundamental civil rights and argue against DNA storage for many other reasons as well.
In this fairly new era of DNA data basing, human error is left out of the equation. In California alone, there are over 200,000 samples in the state's database. The sheer quantity of this extremely sensitive material is left to humans to handle and catalogue. A minor mistake by a lab technician could cost someone his/her life unjustly.
Researchers and other advocates of DNA data basing are aggressively protecting their turf. The American College of Medical Genetics, for example, recently issued a "position statement" extolling the benefits of dried-blood specimen databases, and dismissing opponents' concerns as "unsubstantiated and highly exaggerated." Even the March of Dimes has joined the DNA data basing bandwagon.
Opponents of DNA data basing clearly have their work cut out. Let's hope that we are successful in checking government efforts to enhance its DNA information storage capabilities.

Geez, Bobo, I never thought of it that way. Great Clips has been collecting samples of my DNA every three weeks for years now. It's obvious to you that they must be a covert arm of the government, doing their patriotic duty to supply the government with an aver growing collection of samples.
I guess you see in your vision truckloads of DNA samples being dumped on the front lawn of the NSA where dozens of minimum wage drones sort and record the data, then bag it and tag it. From there it must be transported to vast storage rooms where it is held until a lif or death decision will be made about us. For what, I cannot imagine. But this is your hallucination, so I digress.
Do you actually spout this stuff in real life? You must be a hoot at parties. But don't feel bad, Bobo. The crowd is laughing WITH you, not at you. Really. Honestly.

Indeed, there are always attempts to subvert and abolish the 1st, 4th and 5th amendments — all the while, attention to the 2nd amendment is used as a diversion.
Additionally, about 20% of human genes have patents on them, and genes have DNA. This has very, very severe implications — if a corporation, like Monsanto, owns the rights to 10% of your DNA, do they own you?
I am reminded of a short film illustrating this kind of corporate/government sponsored technological terror and social control, where everything about us is known and linked into large databases: credit scores, health records, DNA, employment and police records, housing, purchases and income. The main, albeit fictional, example was a man who wanted to buy pizza with a credit card and was told, BY THE PIZZA STORE, that he just bought pizza from another store the day before, his health records showed he had elevated BP and cholesterol, he was 2 days late paying his credit card bill and his health insurance was about to be terminated. So, instead of his "meat lovers" pizza he was "allowed" to purchase a small veggie if he paid cash and a surcharge for being a health risk.

People like "joe matarotz" are the stoopidest. They chide others who tell the truth about over reaching government, when all THEY do is complain about overreaching government. Bit because an individual is no longer a "kool aid" like they, they insult and discount. Well, I am here to tell any morons that would question or joke about these facts..I actually build and manage some of these very databases. It's real, and you would be amazed at how the data is used. It would make your head spin.
(Of course "joe" your head is already spinning, so nevermind).

And to the ACLU lawyers that help to get these scumbags out of prison early or off the hook due to a tech, i hope its your daughter or wife that's raped / killed next by the same scumbag you helped to free. (sadly it will be more likely be a overly trusting/ unsuspecting liberal like the cancer researcher in midtown, or a child that's the next victim)
Only people that have never seen what these scum are capable of face to face, feel sorry for them. Kill em all! Vigilante justice!

Individuals are profiled based on attributes I listed earlier, including DNA. The purpose of this profiling is to match individual behaviors and genomics (DNA) to a predetermined set of affinities such as: tendency to commit crime or terrorism, bad credit behavior and poor health behavior. Each of you has already been characterized and selected in some way based on your buying habits, your trips to the doctor, the web sites you visit, your facebook page, the phone calls you make your housing value, your income, and so on.
So, the fact that one has a kind of DNA or behavior profile that can be used as self-incrimination should be of considerable concern to freedom lovers.

We are still able, I think, to use cash, but only until currency is tagged, so that envethough cash is obtained from an ATM, it will be tagged so that it is know that it was distributed to the holder of the debit card. Once that occurs, and with the inclusion bio-reading, then currency may be tracked from user to user.
This technology exist now.

It seems to me that the requirement of DNA samples violates the "unreasonable search and seizures" prohibition of the 4th amendment. If they want a DNA sample, go get a warrant.
Arresting someone for attending a rally? That seems a violation of the First Amendment.
For once, (maybe the first time ever) I agree that the ACLU should file suit on this one.

House Speaker Glenn Richardson has indicated the Republican meme for health care by attempting suicide Sunday night, and one major question is why law enforcement did not alert a physician to issue a 1021 to hospitalize Richardson so that he could not do harm to himself and to designate the best possible treatment for him.
This is a republican paradigm for bad healthcare Perhaps Richardson was depresed because white hick Republicans are the only legislature in the US to refuse to fund the 8th largest Metro transit system in the U.S.

Your photo, fingerprints and handwriting are just as "instrusive" as your DNA. The Supreme Court has already ruled on those.
Bottom line: Don't get arrested ……….. but if you do I want to know if your arrest will solve a rape or murder somewhere.

Dear Conservative Posters:
I have been reviewing most of the posts on this weekend thread and something just came to me. In general (there is always an exception now and then) liberals and conservatives post/debate in entirely different ways. Let me try to explain it this way.
For those over 50, do you remember the old "school yard fights" before zero tolerance and felony arrests kicked in ? Well, apply lessons from those physical fights to our verbal fights on this thread.
Boys then were like conservatives today ……….. they would size each other up, make a few challenges in a reasonable attempt to make their point and prevent further confrontation. However, if necessary the "fist fight" was on but then it was over very briefy. One would lose (bloody nose or black eye) and one would win. The important thing was the winner was satisfied and the loser also (because he knew the other guy knew he would fight). Usually, since the pecking order was now established, they would shake hands and be best friends the next day.
Girls on the other hand are like today's liberals …………….. they would start throwing books, cussing, screaming and shrieking and then the most awful "cat fight" would errupt with the pulling of hair, scratching, tearing of clothes, etc., etc., etc. Eventually, someone would have to pull them apart or they would kill each other. Needless to say, they were enemies pretty much for life.
The point I am trying to make is that liberals and conservatives think and debate differently. Liberals really do get upset with you if you make a point they can't handle and generally on these posts they are the one's most involved in personal attacks on other posters. It's really quite interesting to observe.
Just one example: Liberals love Mike Luchovich's biting satire in his cartoons. Those are o.k. and the sharper the better. However, let a conservative do the same thing in a "word picture" on one of these threads and they really get hot. I'm sure you remember how vicious they were towards Bush when he was President but if you even dare speak ill of the "messiah" they WILL go off on you.
Just one man's opinion ……………… and food for thought. Hope it helps.
Now get ready for the screaming and shrieking and ………………………

This is an important issue regardless of your political persuasion. Technology is rapidly redefining concepts like identity and self-incrimination, and it's going to be up to the citizenry and organizations like the ACLU to insure that a framework of rational laws and precedents are in place.
In the case Bob Barr refers to, the police were clearly abusing the law — "We'll charge you if you don't comply." — to obtain a form of forensic identification that they otherwise could not obtain without a charge having been filed. And the charge they were going to file was a completely inappropriate reason for a DNA sample.
It can be argued that the DNA sample is nothing more than a microscopic fingerprint and therefore there's really no difference in booking someone and taking fingerprints as opposed to a DNA sample. In the case of DNA, however, there is much more information than just a unique identity revealed by a fingerprint.
What government abuse could arise from this? I certainly don't have a list of dastardly scenarios, and, even if I did, I'm sure that technology will create many more uses for these samples. What I do know is that if no limits are set on the collection and sharing of this information before the practice becomes pervasive, then our rights and protections will have been irretrievably lessened. The time to take on the issues is before someone comes along who will abuse them. Every virulent totalitarian regime has had a few characteristics in common — keeping lists of citizens who have committed no crime has been one of them.

Consensual? Really, Mackenzie?
Dr. Michelle Golland: I have worked with many women who have been abused sexually by family members: brothers, fathers, and uncles. For some of them, the abuse started when they were little, for some when they were older. For many of them, the abuse went on for years, and for some, well into their twenties. Sexual abuse by a person who inherently has emotional power over you is simply that: abuse. There is an emotional power differential inherent in the father-daughter relationship at any age. Drugs and alcohol can help create a dangerous environment where boundaries of all types can be crossed.
I was saddened and disturbed when I read the way Mackenzie Phillips framed the original sexual abuse by her father, and then went on to call future sexual contact "consensual." She reports having woken up from a drug blackout to find her father, John Phillips, having sex with her. He was raping her in her sleep, and she still hasn't defined the act for what it was: rape. Mackenzie then calls the future sexual encounters with her father consensual. Consensual with a "dad" that shot heroin into his young daughter's veins, and with her in a drugged and drunk state, took advantage of her sexually.
She never emotionally had a chance to consent to any of this obviously abusive behavior on her father's part. She appears to still be protecting him in the way she talks about the sexual acts. This is classic victim behavior; in some way, she needed to make what he did to her OK by now couching it in terms of consensual sex. It seems she is also unsure if there had been sexual contact before even that time.
It is clear that Mackenzie Phillips has been struggling for much of her life with drug addiction and celebrity. Most of this was brought into her life by the lack of early intervention by her parents, and the active drugging behavior from her father beginning at a very young age. The Phillips' home was a quagmire of dysfunction just ripe for abuse to occur.
With these revelations, it seems even clearer that Mackenzie had a dark, shameful secret that she was trying to withhold for a very long time. Often, drug and alcohol abuse is used to numb one's feelings, to stop experiencing the pain and shame of one's life circumstances.
Mackenzie Phillips' father, John Phillips, was a narcissist who was only interested in gratifying his own needs, even at the expense of getting his daughter addicted to drugs and having sex with her. What has me concerned now is the still numbed experience Mackenzie appears to be having in regards to this inappropriate and abusive behavior by her father.

Easy To Make Cleaning Mistakes
Woman's Day
We talk all the time about new ways to clean things or simple ways to get a job done faster, but did you know there are some acts which can actually make a job more difficult? True story, here's a few worth remembering:
Here's a few cleaning mistakes you could be making. Check out why below:
1. Scrubbing Spills On Carpet: Scrubbing merely untwists the fibers. Even if you remove the spill, the fibers will still look ragged. Blot first!
2. Using Furniture Polish Every Time You Dust: Continual use of product can create buildup over time. Give your pieces a break with a slightly damp towel instead of spray, wax or polish.
3. Cleaning Your Windows On Sunny Days: Even if sunny days make you want to be able to better see out your windows, they can be too toasty and sharp for the cleaners we use to remove the dirt. Windows are best cleaned on days less than 70 degrees.
You can check out the full list of 8 cleaning mistakes people often make over at Woman's Day. Do you have something you'd like to add to the list? Share your wisdom in the comments below.

Regarding the first picture, I find the best way to clean up red wine spills (or coffee) is to blot what you can, then dilute the area with soda water (regular water if you don't have soda water), then dumb as much salt on the area as you possibly can (preferably from a big Morton-like cannister). The salt will act as a sponge and draw up all the liquid, then harden into brick-like chunks, which you can just pick up. I did this on a white rug and there is no trace of stain! Has anyone else tried that?
Er, dump* not dumb (ironic typo!).
CHLOESF, what a GREAT idea! I haven't tried it, but I will now ...
CHLOESF: Another trick is equal parts Dawn and hydrogen peroxide for fabrics where wine has soaked in. Best for less delicate or washable fabrics, but I've used it on upholstered furniture with success.
CHLOEST, I have done that and it works beautifully.
I have a bottle of red wine remover and a spray-on carpet cleaner - both did a great job of getting red wine out of my carpet, but I expect the red wine remover is a bit less toxic.
"Windows are best cleaned on days less than 70 degrees"
or 21 C for everyone not in the US.
#4 You deodorize the garbage disposal with coffee grounds.
Once when a friend did this, there turned out to be one, rock-hard, petrified bean in the grounds that broke her disposal. I'll never understand how her coffee grinder survived it.
* For blood stains: soaking in cold water doesn't always work. Instead, pour hydrogen peroxide onto the blood stain (the stain can be fresh or dried) ...it will disappear.....THEN...soak article in water or wash. Do not try to get the stain out with clorox as this will "set" the stain. Trying to get stains out that have been "set" previously with this method will not work.
I still want to know if anyone has found a magic remedy for cleaning up cat yack.
My grandmother, who is an avid quilter, taught me that your saliva will dissolve your blood. It sounds gross, but it works.
What's with the linking to Women's Day?
Windows are best cleaned on days less than 70 degrees? I guess we can skip window cleaning in the Florida summertime then when even night time temps might not go below 80? AWESOME!
Alahoop is totally right about spitting on blood stains. I used to work in a theater costume shop, and if anyone bled on a costume they had to spit on it immediately. The weird thing though is that they say the person spitting has to be the person who bled on it. So if an actor bled on a costume, we'd tell them to spit on it. Then they'd look at us like we were crazy people. But the spot would come out.
About the windows, just clean with white vinegar instead of chemicals and you won't get streaks. Works in hot weather and cold. Yay!
Ehhhh, #2 should say "Using furniture polish EVER". That stuff is no good. Just dust, without the product.
Lydiechan, RE: cat yack, we have had the same problem....we used to have wall-to-wall carpeting and found that Mrs. Meyers powdered stain remover worked well with a scrub brush, but it was a pain in the rear when she throws up so often. Then we got all hard flooring so it is significantly easier to clean up when kitty retches in the right place, but area rugs were still a problem. We had a very neutral colored jute rug and discovered that the cat yak stained it badly and the Mrs. Meyers (or any oxy cleaner) bleached it.....so, as funds have allowed, we have slowly replaced all non-wool area rugs with wool, which is the only thing the cat yack comes out of completely. The lanolin makes wool naturally very stain repellent. So, you can scrub with oxy and/or try to get wood/laminate/tile and/or get wool rugs......the things we do to keep home nice with those yacking kitties!
I can't believe people use pledge on your furniture, its the worst thing to use on wood.
Pledge might not be good for your wood, but at this time of year, in my part of the country, it is indispensable for the bottoms of our sleds! A great way to use up what you've already bought... then in the spring, toss that can so you're no longer tempted to use it on your furniture. Presuming of course that you don't actually achieve departure velocity on your downhill run and go back...to the Future!
Oh, and about the coffee grounds in the disposal... we live in the boonies, and a have a septic system. After an emergency (and very expensive) cleanout & treatment session, the septic guy gave us some advice regarding Our Septic Health. In addition to the redfaced "no flushing, er...y'know...female products..." speech, he told us an interesting thing. Apparently they hate to see coffee grounds and eggshells run down the disposal more than just about anything. These things together form a sort of aggregate in the septic lines (like concrete) that can clog things up & and is difficult to clean out. So, no eggshells and no coffee down the disposal. They do compost beautifully, though... now I just have to start composting.
Regarding saliva and blood stains, I've always assumed that it was the enzymes in saliva that were breaking down blood components... makes sense, no? I've found that enzyme cleaners are great for a lot of 'biological' stains, i.e. food stains, blood stains, cat yack, people yack (it happens...)
Also, for red wine stains I've used a product called 'wine away' - I have no idea what's in it but it works like MAGIC.
The only enzymes in saliva are those that break down sugars. (Ever notice that you can lick pure sugar off your fingers and they aren't sticky after?)
The best thing for blood stains is hydrogen peroxide. I have used it on clothes, upholstery, and carpet and there's never been any damage or color change. We are a family of doctors and always use peroxide to clean all that dried blood off a wound and/or clothes before tending to the wound. (It's also fun to watch it bubble.)
Human spit is one of the top offenders with the amount of germs! A human bite is much more likely to get infected than a dog or cat bite. My point being... be careful where you spit, folks!
I can't attest to cat yack removal, but we've had success with dog yack by blotting first and then using hot water over stain and then vacuuming up with a shopvac. Very effective even on old stains
Spitting on bloodstains works PERFECTLY.
@Lydiechan, you can get cat barf up by pouring baking soda on it, letting it set for a while, then vacuuming it up. That'll get all or most of it out (the rest will clean up with either Nature's Miracle or your standard carpet cleaner).
Hydrogen peroxide is MAGIC for bloodstains. Color-safe, too.

Collect Big Distributions from These 3 Oil and Gas MLPs
Bob is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Oil and gas Master Limited Partnerships are excellent income-producing investments. These companies operate storage facilities and pipelines, which they use to hold and transport oil, gas, and refined products. Customers of these products include major oil companies, energy producers and shippers, local distribution companies and businesses across many industries. I tend to think of these types of MLPs as toll roads. Oil and gas MLPs that operate tanks and pipelines collect fees based on the volumes they store and transport. As a result, these MLPs aren't nearly as vulnerable to the volatile swings of the oil market as traditional oil companies. Here are three MLPs in the oil and gas space that have reliable growth in profits and distributions to unitholders:
Enterprise Product Partners (NYSE: EPD) has a market capitalization of over $48 billion. Since first going public in 1998, Enterprise Products has grown steadily, increasing its asset base from $715 million to $34 billion as of June 2012. The company boasts over 50,000 miles of natural gas and crude oil pipelines. In addition, Enterprise Product Partners has immense storage facilities with 190 million barrels of natural gas liquids, refined products and crude oil storage capacity and 14 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity. Enterprise's massive operations have allowed it to pay a continually increasing stream of distributions to unitholders. Earlier this month, Enterprise Products raised its first quarter 2013 distribution by more than 6% year over year. The increase marks the 43rd increase since its 1998 initial public offering. The annualized distribution of $2.64 presents new investors a beginning yield of nearly 5%.
Kinder Morgan Partners (NYSE: KMP) is a $32 billion partnership with a current yield of over 5.5%. Kinder Morgan has raised its quarterly distribution ten times since 2010, and has a five-year compound annual growth rate of nearly 7.5%. Kinder Morgan operates 75,000 miles of pipelines and 180 terminals. The company's pipelines transport products including natural gas, refined petroleum products, and crude oil. KMP started 2012 very well, with revenue during the first nine months of the year up 3% versus 2011. Kinder Morgan has had a great run over the last two years, with its units rising in price from the mid-sixties in late 2011 to its current level of over $85.
Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE: MMP) also operates in the storage and transportation of petroleum products. Magellan is a smaller Master Limited Partnership with a roughly $10 billion market value. Magellan has increased its quarterly distribution for 11 quarters in a row, and now yields over 4% at current prices. The company's storage capacity is impressive: Magellan can tap into more than 40% of the nation's refining capacity and store over 75 million barrels of petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and crude oil. In addition, Magellan boasts a 9,600 mile petroleum pipeline system.
Master Limited Partnerships might be a great consideration for an investor wary of putting money into markets nearing their all-time highs. With short-term interest rates at historic lows, traditional fixed income products like certificates of deposit pay almost nothing. The ten year U.S. Treasury Bond currently sits at 1.8%. As a result, MLPs provide investors with both satisfying current yields, as well as inflation-beating distribution growth.
