Hartford, AL church is rebuilding after fire destroyed building
by Glenda Williams, BNc correspondent
HARTFORD, Ala (BNc) — The Hartford, Alabama church is rebuilding after being destroyed by a late night fire earlier this year. Recently we stopped to see the new metal structure and were met by Terry Whaley, member of the church, and David Creel, member of the church from Dothan, Ala. who is donating his work on the building.
The church wants to begin meeting in the new building the middle of August. There is much work to be done and it is being delayed by a lack of funds. When asked what their immediate needs were, Whaley replied, "We need money for the heating and cooling system and carpet."
The Hartford congregation is small in number, but is located close to a nice subdivision. The members worship in a mobile home on the church property at the present time.
Terry Whaley may be reached at 334-701-9690. Jim Simmons, local preacher, may be reached at 334-886-3202. Whaley said contributions may be mailed to the Hartford Church of Christ, 801 Commerce Street, Hartford, AL 36344. Any amount would be appreciated.
Let's help get this building finished so they can get on with the Father's business.

Loudoun County, Va gets first permanent facility for the church worship
by Laura S. Tinnel
PURCELLVILLE, Va. (BNc) – The first and only permanent facility for the saints' worship and Bible study in Loudoun County, VA was completed after ten years of determined labor and prayer.
The 6,100 square-foot facility, located in the town of Purcellville, includes a 150 seat auditorium, a baptistery, five walled classrooms, a multi-purpose room (also used as a classroom), and a small office.
Prior to completing the new facility, the Purcellville congregation met in a small, rented office space, which it was outgrowing. It also met in the community center, the local skating rink and member homes.
While worshiping in the community center, the church began in earnest seeking a permanent place of worship but found no suitable existing facility in Purcellville. In 2004, the congregation purchased a parcel of land in the newly planned Village Case subdivision, which included plots for three church buildings in the back of the subdivision. The church paid cash for the property from savings and began efforts towards obtaining blue prints, county permits, and securing financing. Read more

VILONIA, Ark. (BNc) — The Vilonia congregation celebrated its two-year anniversary in their new barnitorium, as Marty Knight, one of the three elders, dubbed it Sunday morning, Nov. 8.
The new Ministry Center was started the week before. Using the metal exterior from an old horse barn, they built a new 36×36 structure to serve as a temporary meeting place until they can build a new building.
When asked why they decided to use the old barn, the elders replied, "It was there and it was cheap!" Read more

Hiroyuki Konuma
FAO Regional Representative for Asia-Pacific
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am particularly pleased to join today the ADB (Indu Bhushan), ASEAN (Azmi Mat Akhir) and WHO (William Aldis) for the press launch of a new regional initiative for the prevention and control of avian influenza in Asia.
Highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza has been identified in rapid succession in several Asian countries since it was first reported in Vietnam in January 2004, it. Today this bird flu has become widespread, crossing into Europe and Africa. And it is currently endemic in parts of Asia, defying control efforts by national authorities.
At present, China and Viet Nam are running mass vaccination campaigns, having failed to contain the disease by stamping out and/or targeted vaccination. The disease has been well controlled within the large commercial sector in Thailand, but until recently had persisted in the backyard poultry sector. In Indonesia, control efforts relying mainly on vaccination and partial stamping out, has not been successful. AI is currently reported infrequently in Cambodia; Malaysia and India also recently reported outbreaks. A few days ago Myanmar was the latest ASEAN country to join the list of bird flu affected countries, causing an increased concern of the world community.
Summing up the AI situation in Asia, we note that the HPAI virus continues to circulate in the region, threatening the poultry industry, livelihoods and food security of poor farmers and jeopardizing public health. As a result, FAO continues to be seriously concerned about the spread of the disease and the resulting increased socio-economic impact on poor households. Our foremost regional priority in the fight against bird flu is to support developing member countries in the development and implementation of integrated country strategies to prevent and control avian influenza at the source—in poultry.
FAO has played a key role as lead technical agency ensuring coordination and providing technical assistance to affected countries to help control and reduce the spread of H5N1 among poultry – and thus contributing to the prevention of a potential influenza pandemic.
FAO estimated(for the Beijing conference) a global need at least US$130 million in the next 3 years for its proposed activities for coordination and capacity building ($49million), and assistance to infected countries ($26millions) and countries at risk ($38millions) as well as newly infected countries ($16 million). In the Asian region, FAO is seeking supplementary partnerships to further strengthen and support the three sub-regional networks established in 2004, bringing together national diagnostic laboratories and teams undertaking surveillance activities in infected countries in Southeast Asia, East and South Asia.
These regional networks have improved the quality of surveillance and diagnosis by providing technical support to national staff engaged in this work in each country. In addition, the networks have facilitated exchange of information and knowledge and identified strengths and weaknesses in national systems so that support can be focused on areas of need and solutions provided based on shared experience.
Since last year, FAO is working with ADB in several ASEAN member countries on transboundary animal diseases including AI control. The additional $38 million grant project approved by ADB is unique as it provides an enhanced regional facility for the partners to work together in a concerted manner in controlling AI.
ADB's assistance is very timely in supporting the global effort to control AI in Asia. This is especially encouraging for countries at risk such as Myanmar which has just reported an outbreak of HPAI and to which FAO has already sent its mission and dispatched the first batch emergency assistance equipment.
FAO has established an Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) in December 2004 under the responsibility of the FAO Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO). A decentralized ECTAD unit for Asia was opened just a few days ago at the FAO regional office in Bangkok with the arrival of Laurence Gleeson as the head of the unit. The regional ECTAD unit with ADB grant assistance will work with national animal health and production services and the established regional networks to strengthen disease control activities.
In conclusion, allow me to express FAO's appreciation for ADB's rapid decision after the Beijing Conference, and its contribution of US$ 6.5 million to FAO, for strengthening regional capacity and coordination for prevention, detection, preparedness and control of avian influenza at the source—in poultry. I am confident that our partnership will substantially contribute to reduce social and economic disruptions due to avian and human influenza outbreaks in the region.
Thank you.

"By means of meditation we can teach our minds to be calm and balanced; within this calmness is a richness and a potential, an inner knowledge which can render our lives boundlessly satisfying and meaningful. While the mind may be what traps us in unhealthy patterns of stress and imbalance, it is also the mind which can free us. Through meditation, we can tap the healing qualities of mind."
~~~ Tarthang Tulku
Hello to all — This post will be a bit different from those in the past years. I am delighted to be a part of an "on-line sangha" made up of good friends from the sangha I belonged to while I was still able.
A couple of days ago, one of our members wrote about some of her readings on the topic of pain and suffering. A great discussion ensued. I became a part of that discussion and would like to share some of what was said with you. I will not be using the actual names of anyone other than myself.
Before I get into the serious stuff, I have to inject a touch of humor. Here's a wonderful photo that showed up on Facebook the other day:
The discussion opened with this message:
I have been thinking, again about pain and suffering. I have seen it written that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. As a central teaching Buddhism, it is important to study. I am constantly learning more about it. We also have little idea of what other people's spiritual state may be. We do not know their thoughts or feelings we are good at projecting our own feelings on to others. We are good at judging others. We may think other people would be suffering in a situation that is painful, but they may not be. I have seen people who were near death that were happy. They were not faking it. It is not the situation, but the state of mind which creates suffering. Pain, on the other hand is every where. It is our affective experience of pain which causes suffering. People may be in abysmal circumstances, but may not suffer. Monks tortured and imprisoned by the Chinese claim not to have suffered. Yet, we are here to be compassionate. This is not the compassion of pity. It is the compassion of recognizing that we all do suffer. We hope to ease others suffering. It is the same as our own suffering. It is not to create suffering in ourselves or take on others suffering. We hope to teach others to ease suffering, just as we work on that goal ourselves.
This is from a Zen UU minister.
A quote from the article:
"The point of Buddhist transcending of suffering is not anesthesia. Unfortunately, much that passes for a description of Buddhist thought in our culture for years has seen Buddhism as a way being totally indifferent, of not emotionally responding. Buddhism is portrayed as a kind of emotional anesthesia that avoids all problems by simply not letting yourself become involved in them at all.
It is not a question of getting yourself not to feel pain anymore. Indeed, our usual response to pain, the indulging, wallowing in it, grasping . . . or pushing away, all produce suffering. But these responses also tend to numb us. And, in some ways, this is what we are after in the wallowing, obsessing, the grasping and pushing away. We are seeking the numbing that leaves us not feeling the pain so acutely.
In Buddhism, transcending suffering may well result in our feeling the pain that is inevitable even MORE acutely. Hence, the centrality in Buddhism of compassion, not indifference. But, if it means feeling pain more acutely, it also means feeling JOY more acutely. For, the anesthesia we have the habit of doing to ourselves to shut off our pain results also in shutting off much—if not all—of the playfulness and joyousness of life."
Another member of the sangha came in with:
I too tend to focus on this principle myself.
Something I was told was (easier said than done, but helps me, at least) is when something "painful" (which is obviously subjective) occurs, to embrace it.
Fully accept the pain, the "suffering" you feel & upon realization that you have embraced the pain, the suffering is no longer there.
Be it a stubbed toe or hurt emotions, accepting the pain, acknowledge the response to "suffer", accept it, embrace it… it's no longer there. (But that stubbed toe still throbs!) LoL
That's what I was taught & wanted to share.
Again, easier said than done, but with practice it becomes more natural (note: I didn't say easier).
Another of our active contributors wondered how the rest of us would respond to this: To those of you who are discussing anger, pain and suffering, how do you see those in the lower caste systems of India, and those in certain parts of Africa who have AIDS, or are suffering from starvation and illnesses. Do you think they have chosen their paths? Do you think it is Karma that has them where they are in this life?
This is where I stuck my nose in:
First, I do see where, and why, someone may be feeling these discussions tend to get a bit hard to understand. Well, I guess that happens a lot when we're talking about Buddhism. It is hard to understand — and the main reason is — ta-dah — Buddhism wants to shake us loose from a lifestyle and a culture we've lived in all our lives. We don't like that — we'd rather keep on keeping on with what we have. It is difficult to understand any talk that says we have to suck it up or suffer — that it's our choice. Some choice, right? I don't like it either! Learning to suck it up, sucks!
Now, on to the pain and suffering part. Again, here Buddha is trying to tell us to do something contrary to what we are presently doing.
Let's use myself as an example here.
I am at a stage now with my Pulmonary Fibrosis where every breath is a struggle and is often painful. I did an online Tricycle retreat yesterday where the leader was pointing out how our breath comes in 4 parts — the in-breath — the pause before the out-breath — the out-breath — and the pause before the next in-breath. I am now at a place where there is no longer a pause between the in-breath and the out-breath when I'm breathing normally. When I'm exerting a little energy and become winded and gasping, I even lose the pause before the next in-breath. If it's there, I can't sense it.
This is constant. It won't go away in a few minutes — or a few hours — or a few weeks — or ever. It will only get worse. That's just the way it is. Have I accepted it? — Of course, I can't fight it — so I have accepted it. It is what is. I made the wrong choice many, many years ago, and this is how karma tends to work.
Am I transcending the suffering? Not at all. I am always suffering. I can't make my mind say, "Don't suffer!" I am suffering. If there's a good Buddhist way to transcend the suffering I haven't found it. Can the mind be trained when a terminal illness has progressed this far? I'm thinking perhaps not. The reality is there may be another "mind" out there — the non-self mind — which can transcend the suffering of this body I'm in, but it's not in the "mind" I'm living with. Even during deep meditation — or for that matter, even during sleep, I am still suffering. I can't find a way to tap into that "other" mind which can transcend suffering.
Can I still show peace and compassion to others? Sure.
Can I show my own happiness? Not too well, I'm afraid. It's just too hard to physically hide the suffering any longer. It's on my face — it's in my eyes — it's in my whole body. I am not happy to be in this condition.
Am I happy about other things? Sure — there are lots of things I'm happy about. I'm especially happy for the friends who are a part of my life. You all are among those wonderful friends.
Am I afraid of death? Not at all. Believe me when I say I am anxiously awaiting it. I am doing everything I can to make this final transition as peaceful and contemplative as I can. It's been a challenge considering the recent changes in my home life, but I've worked out some of the physical arrangements here to help counteract a lot of the chaos and disruption.
Buddha taught that if we go out in peace, there's a good chance we'll come back in peace. I'm counting on it.
Peace and love to all of you!!
Ron Rink
P.S. Maybe we'll count this message as my Buddhist Blog post for this time. Heck, maybe I'll actually post it there too. — RR
There was another post after I started to write this, so I'll include it here:
Shit happens. I don't think that has anything to do with karma. That people are tortured or made to be sex slaves isn't because of their karma. I don't think that people who are in pain draw that to themselves necessarily. I think that our actions and thoughts create problems for us. I view that as making the same mistake repeatedly. That kind of mistake in my view is doing something that causes you suffering and/or creates suffering for others. An example might be losing your temper because things don't go your way. Its kind of like the story of the person who walks down the street and falls into a hole everyday. One day, they see that if they cross the street, they will stop falling into the hole. That is karma to me. One day, we see that our habitual patterns of thinking create suffering and are unproductive.
That there is suffering or dissatisfaction with life, is from the first Noble Truth. The Noble Truths are 1) There is dissatisfaction with life (or suffering); 2) Attachment causes the suffering; 3) There is an end to suffering; 3) The way to end suffering is through the Eightfold Path. The Eightfold Path is a way to live, to follow the path to enlightenment or at least a way to suffer less. The point here is about choosing how we react to our situation. We choose how we react through practice. So, in the above example, instead of losing our temper, we recognize that we are angry. We see the anger is from us. We may want to fix the situation but, if we call people names or in some way harm others, we create problems. Anger may motive us to try to fix unjust conditions. If we hold on to an emotion instead of letting it go and let it flow through us, we create problems. The same could be said for other emotions.
Lets take the lower caste people in India. Many are Buddhist. Again, we are not talking about karma. They may not have much money and live in huts. They can see this as terrible. They can also enjoy their family relationship, their community and their celebrations. They create unhappiness when they compare themselves to someone else. The desire for things to be different is what creates suffering. We can not assume that people who have less are not happy. When I worked for hospice, this point was really made clear to me. I can assume that if you are dying that you are suffering. That is not true. There are people who are dying who are genuinely happy. They accept that they are dying. They feel that they have had a good life. They recognize that everyone dies. They are ready to die also. I think that is amazing. That kind of acceptance and peace is admirable. There are few people who can do this. We do not know the state of mind of someone who is dying. We may know that they are in pain, but we do not know their heart. We do not know if they are resisting their fate. We do not know unless they tell us so. Pity is not part of Buddhism.
Just as an aside, I was reading recently how happy most of the people living in the slums of India are. They have celebrations, they value their relationship and they enjoy their lives. If they just thought about how awful everything is, they would miss out on what is wonderful about life. I have read in some countries, which lack material goods, they pity us. They think we are disadvantaged because we let other people take care of our children and do not take care of our own elders.
So, what do we do when we see pain. I think that it is clear that, in Buddhism, the correct response is compassion. We strive to change what we can. We recognize that we can not change everything for everyone. We recognize that is the current condition of the world. We suffer and are in pain. They suffer and are in pain. Suffering because other people suffer doesn't help them. Feeling compassion and recognizing that we are all in the same boat helps. Acting compassionately, to the best of our ability does help. That includes compassion toward ourselves.
I go over this stuff to learn. That there is suffering or dissatisfaction is the First Noble Truth. It is important to me to understand and discuss. When there is a discussion about it, I go look something up. I hope to share what I learn with other people.
What Buddha talked about with his followers is hard to say. I do know that Buddhist teachers talk about these things. Pema Chodron discusses these issues in a clear way.
Suffering is NOT karma. Suffering or dissatisfaction is the emotional response to pain, not getting what you want, getting something you don't want, etc. This doesn't imply a disinterest or lack of compassion for people who suffer or are in pain. We can not assume that people who are in dire circumstances suffer, because we do not know their heart. We are just like everyone. That is why we know about suffering. In Buddhism, we reach peace by confronting and changing ourselves.
That's all there is up to this point. I'm not going to add anything further at this time. I'll go ahead and post this and see what the rest of you have to add.
Be well — be in peace,
Ron Rink

We're Ready to Get to Work, Secretary Solis Told American Society of Safety Engineers' San Antonio Conference Attendees
San Antonio, TX (June 29, 2009) — In an address to about 4,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professionals at the opening of the American Society of Safety Engineers' three-day conference here at the convention center, U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Hilda L. Solis said they are ready to get to work to protect workers and thanked the attendees for all that they do to ensure worker safety.
"Thank you all for the work that you do every day to protect workers as it is not easy," Solis said. "Especially during these difficult economic times. I am also here to tell you that the President believes this government has responsibility to protect workers and protect them from unsafe workplaces.
"The Department of Labor is back in the enforcement business," Solis continued. "We will be working with all stakeholders because as you know, workplace safety is everyone's business."
Solis also announced that the DOL's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will launch a major construction safety initiative in Texas to prevent workplace fatalities and injuries. The department noted that Texas has the highest rate of on-the-job fatalities than any other state. In 2008 there were 67 fatalities, and in 2009 there have been 33. Solis also noted that in 2007 and 2008 more than 3,000 inspections were conducted by OSHA in the southeastern states.
As for naming DOL and OSHA department leaders, Solis noted that there are several people that have been nominated to serve at the DOL in a variety of positions, including the head of OSHA, yet they are still in the pipeline.
"We are ready to get to work as we have a lot to do to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses," Solis said. "I want OSHA to get back to being active and robust. And I want to make it clear that we want to partner with business to keep workers safe – to partner with safety professionals, businesses and communities."
To do this, Solis discussed the proposed department budget for the DOL for 2010 of $1.7 billion to go towards programs which include $50.6 million for OSHA, allowing for the hiring of at least 130 more inspectors and an increase by 10 percent the number of inspections.
"Despite these tough economic times, we hope to have this budget approved," Solis said. "We look forward to working with businesses – large and small – as we have in successful programs in New York and California. We will also be building on practices that work.
"We want to return respect to OSHA," Solis said.
The 98-year-old ASSE is the oldest and largest safety society with more than 32,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members located worldwide. ASSE is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. The June 28- July 1 ASSE PDC features 225 educational sessions featuring cutting edge issues along with one of the largest occupational safety, health and environmental expositions in the U.S. The expo features 400 companies including 70 new exhibitors. Other key presentations will be made by former Yahoo! Chief Solutions Officer Tim Sanders who will discuss corporate social responsibility and green business practices. U.S. Acting Assistant Secretary for OSHA Jordan Barab will participate in a special Plenary Session today. The last day of the conference features an executive summit of corporate executives discussing what they look for in a successful safety and health program and SH&E practitioners. Key issue roundtables, which provide individual attendees an opportunity to discuss issues and experiences, will also be held during the PDC.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE's members lead, manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor, health care and education. For more information please go to www.asse.org/newsroom.

One Take Sessions # 34
Landslide - (originally by Fleetwood Mac)
I already did a cover of this with Justine last year. Literally around this time last year, June 13. She was singing the lead and I was doing the backup vocals.
I decided to make my own cover of this song with less backup vocals because this is my comfort music. Miley covered this when she had her concert here in Manila, and I broke down. Even before reading Perks of Being a Wallflower, this was my infinite song. I was actually hearing this song in my head while reading that part and I find out in the end that it was Landslide. Perfection.
First cover as a 20 year old. Everything about this song is relevant.
Also, add me on SoundCloud! I think you download songs from there.

Matt Damon apologizes to PETA, hates bullfighting, doesn't wear a meat dress. Love him. »
You will never guess what happened to Matt Damon after he attended a bullfight in Mexico City: He got a phone call from PETA, demanding an explanation! To which he responded with not only an explanation, but an apology.
Jane Dollinger for PETA has reportedly stated, "Matt said that he went to the bullfight believing that bullfights should be stopped but felt that he should see the cruelty for himself while he was in Mexico. He said that seeing with his own eyes what these tormented animals go through only reinforced an already strongly held belief that bullfights should be relegated to the history books.
"He also said that he was upset to think that his attendance was in any way construed to be an endorsement of such a barbaric activity."
Matt Damon at the bullfight.
I'm having a hard time being mad at him for this [Ed. note: Read: Jenny totally wants to hit that! Myself, I don't buy his, "I didn't know" routine. Don't play dumb with me, Matty!]. I mean, bullfights, awful, for real! Good for PETA for getting to the bottom of the situation, right? I guess I could get behind a Matt Damon campaign for PETA. Don't you want to see Ben Affleck in it too? I miss those guys together. So long as they aren't wearing leather jackets, feather earrings or some other bullshit in their very special celebrity PETA poster. Ah! Pun not intended.
Actually, I really despise the PETA campaigns featuring celebs who eat meat. It seems hypocritical to me, like "I love animals, stop abusing them, BUT I ALSO REALLY LOVE EATING THEM!" Or, "I'd never wear fur, but I'll wear a meat dress to an awards show."
Maybe he should stay away from PETA, but still work to stop this atrocious spectacle of tormenting bulls for entertainment.
In more Matt Damon news, PETA has already addressed his movie We Bought a Zoo [Ed. note: oy, that movie makes me want to vom! War Horse too, War Horse can kiss my ass], and he helped start the charity Water.org.

Hello, friends! It's WTF Wednesday! »
Have you guys been watching this horrible Sarah Palin abortion that is on the television? Several questions: What is wrong with this woman? Also, what is wrong with this woman? And finally, what is wrong with this woman? I have never seen this show because my head would explode in a volcano of rage, but I have read about it and seen delightful pictures of Sarah Palin: with a shotgun! Sarah Palin: with a hunting knife! Sarah Palin: crouched over the remains of a caribou she has just murdered! I don't know if I asked this before, but what is wrong with this woman? How can you be so clearly against things like abortion and not be against murdering innocent animals? And how could you think that aerial hunting is an acceptable sport? I was going to just say FUCKFUCKFUCK for the next several lines, but my mother told me that my swearing is getting to be a bit too much and that I really need to tone it down; so instead, I ask you again: What is wrong with this woman? And additionally, do you think that seeing herself murdering things on television will make her feel bad about herself? I can hope, but it seems that this woman lacks both shame and insight!
Man, I am about to get even angrier. Perhaps it is because this week is not getting off to a delightful start. It is cold, I am tired, and our heat is out again. Even when we turn it up to about 90, we still have to wear several layers and then cover ourselves with about 5 million different covers. This is what I got out of Russia for! Not to freeze to death in the winter. And of course Allen is no help. I'm all trying to cuddle up and steal some of his precious heat when he groans and kicks me while asleep! Why does his unconscious aggression toward me come out during the coldest nights? It's times like this that I wish I had some fluffy animal friend to keep me warm. A dog perhaps, or some kind of large rodent (it would be so awesome if someone made like a giant hamster that I could cuddle with. No homo.). I used to chill with a rabbit that lives with my old roommate now. Perhaps I could borrow her for these cold winter nights. Know what I wouldn't do to a rabbit, though? Crush it under glass while wearing a school uniform!
Exactly. Even after seeing "2 Girls 1 Cup" (OMG!) I was not prepared for the horror that was Chinese animal-crushing porn. Did you know that such a thing even existed? The video, which lasts about four horrifying minutes, is of a young woman dressed in a school uniform picking up a rabbit, stroking it, then mercilessly crushing it by placing it under a piece of glass and sitting on it. Sickening! And not even lucrative! This girl was paid $60 for killing a defenseless fluffball! And then stamping on it! Se claims that she didn't know about what the job was going to be like because she found it on the internet, but really her innocence ends there. If I were a young woman looking for work and someone was all, "Yeah, you're hot. Please come shoot this movie," I would be wary. Perhaps I would go and see what it was about, but the moment the producer says something like, "Let me tell you my vision: You and three of your closest friends are chilling with Mei-Wen's new rabbit, until you, in a cathartic act that exposes the cruelty of our society, grab the bunny, place it under glass, and slowly crush it with your posterior. Finally, you and the girls stomp the bunny with your stilettos in a meditation on futility as the screen fades to black," I would be OUT OF THERE. It is just not OK! Actually, I would probably report these people, too and then firebomb their studio. I've actually been joking about firebombing a lot lately. I should really stop reading teen novels set in a dystopian future.
Speaking of teens (see what I did there? I am so pleased with myself!) There is a "Justin Bieber of Bullfighting." I didn't even know that being a "Justin Bieber of" anything was now an accepted thing, but apparently what it stands for is being an annoying tween with an annoying talent. Like singing songs about "baby, baby, baby" or killing bulls because it is "fun." Unfortunately, unlike Justin Bieber, who is merely ubiquitous, Michelito Lagravere is a horrible little monster who has slaughtered over 300 bulls. I wonder how this kid is going to adjust as he gets older—you can't kill six bulls at a single time while wearing sequined pants and come out of it unscathed. You don't just recover from that. I'm really angry at this kid, but I am even angrier at his parents, who not only encourage it, but seems to believe that this kind of behavior is condoned by god. It just doesn't make any sense. I wonder if I could apply the same question that I applied to Sarah Palin to this kid. But then I'd also have to apply it to his family. And any place that allows something like bullfighting. And then any place that allows cruelty to animals, whether it be for pornography, sport, food, fun, or clothing. What is wrong with people?
Just thinking about this stuff is exhausting. Why don't we call it a day and meet here again next week, when there might be happier news to report and less of my head exploding in a rage volcano? Send me links for next week, and have a safe Wednesday out there.

Hello, friends! It's WTF Wednesday! »
Today's WTF Wednesday is brought to you by the power of the all-nighter. I'm telling you guys, my brief love affair with Vicodin last week really put me out of commission. So much so, that when I began reading over my hour-long presentation about crises in psychotherapy for this afternoon I realized that all I had done was fill an entire PowerPoint file with photos of Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton. I'm sure I had some kind of master plan—mainly because I left some cryptic notes such as "lol here!" and "Yes, that is where this joke goes!" in the outline—but unfortunately I am now only on copious amounts of Ibuprofen, which makes accessing the part of my psyche that came up with this plan completely impossible. Before I start weeping and rewriting, I thought I'd bring you all the latest fuckery happening on the internet this week.
First up, horses. The Breeder's Cup just finished. This by itself is a giant WTF! Who ever decided that it would be a good idea to put tiny little men on top of horses and then race them around a track for shits and giggles? Was it the same person who decided that the best way we could get in touch with bulls was by dressing up in a stupid costume and stabbing them as they charged at us? What is the appeal of horse racing? Is it the giant hats that the ladies wear? The sinking realization that you've lost Junior's college fun on a horse named "Life at Ten"? Or is it the cruelty of putting horses through their paces, forcing them to go faster and faster around a never-ending ring as they compete for a prize they will never get to enjoy? Is it the drugs? I'm about 200 percent certain that the horses aren't interested.
Actually, I am about 300 percent certain that horses would prefer that you not climb upon their back and squeeze their sides to make them gallop. Maybe if you gave them a choice, but I doubt it. You know how I know that? When I was 12, my brother had an ear infection. Because my parents are fairly hysterical people who raised fairly hysterical sons, we took him to the emergency room. I was not allowed to stay home alone because three years previous, I had tried to bake a cake by microwaving a bowl of dry fruit loops. As you may imagine, the wait in the emergency room was horrible. I had quickly finished both my Phyllis Reynolds Naylor as well as the Baby-Sitters Club Super Special I had brought along and was looking around for someone to bother. Just then, a girl burst wailing into the waiting room, followed by her parents. Her hand was bleeding profusely and her mother was screaming "A horse bit her! A horse bit her!" at anyone who would care to listen.
"What happened?" asked the nurse behind the desk.
"She was riding the horse," the girl's mother screamed. "And when she got off, it turned around and bit her in the hand!"
"I didn't even want to go on the horse!" the girl screamed back. "They made me! Child abuse!"
And that's how I know horses don't like to be ridden.
Have we talked about dogs lately? Have you heard about the dogs they're dropping out of planes into Afghanistan? No, this isn't another opiate-fueled hallucination; U.K. special forces are actually parachuting German Shepherds into Afghanistan with cameras attached to their heads. Have we asked anyone how dogs feel about this? I mean, if they feel humiliated being dressed up, I'm sure they're scared shitless jumping out of a plane with some dude strapped to their back. The dogs are sent in to look for insurgents and are trained to attack anyone that is armed. Not surprisingly, eight dogs have died this way. The official response has been something like, "Well, that would have been eight of our men, so…" Ugh, you idiots! Those dogs ARE eight of your men. And I'm sure they won't be receiving any medals of honor. I don't even know what to say about this except to wonder why this isn't against any kind of animal cruelty laws. These animals are literally being sent to their deaths! This isn't the first time we humans are pulling shit like this. During World War II, the Russian army had an entire program dedicated to training dogs with explosives attached to themselves to run under enemy tanks and explode! It was so ineffective, it actually killed some Russian human soldiers! I don't even know how to comment on this because it is making me angry just thinking about it and since it is late at night I should probably avoid yelling at my computer screen, so let's move on!
Here's some exciting news. All that science stuff we've been learning in school and hearing about on the news has finally proven to be useful. We now know which animal has the biggest testicles! I hate to spoil the surprise for you, but I'm going to have to reveal that it is the bush cricket! Yes! Did you even know such a thing existed? Did you think, at first, that it was someone's porn name? I did!! Surprise: in this country, we call it the katydid. Sounds a lot less pervy now. This insect (insect!) has testicles that make up 14 percent of its body weight. OH MY GOD! That would be six kilograms per testicle on a human! How does this thing manage to fly? Who cares how it manages to fly though, because it manages to
fu FORNICATE just fine! And in quick succession! With several females! This is amazing. I want to be a bush cricket when I grow up. Or am reincarnated. Sex, Larvae, and Rock 'n Roll, baby!
That's all for this week. Please send me links for next week, or leave them in the comments. Have an awesome Wednesday!

The same charmingly misanthropic news, one day later: it's your weekend link-o-rama! »
This gorgeous rhinoceros is a screen print by artist Millie Marotta.
Take some action from your computer this weekend! The Humane Society asks that you send an email to Dr. Barbara Alving of the National Center for Research Resources to politely ask her to retire 26 "elderly, wild-caught chimpanzees" at the New Iberia Research Center, some of whom have been research subject for over 50 years. PCRM needs you to ask your senators to support the Great Ape Protection Act. Farm Sanctuary would appreciate it if you would send a message to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and Committee Chair George Miller to remind them of your support for the House version of the Child Nutrition Act, and ask that they work to get that version passed. Then, learn about meal-planning from the Domestic Vegan, and practice good nutrition yourself. Or bad nutrition, your Vegansaurus offers this link as a money-saving tip, we make no judgment on your vegan foodstuffs.
HSUS is such a fraud, you guys—did you know they want to take away our pets and turn us all into VEGANS? Just ask Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher, the king of political commentary! Look, they will wear their terrifying uniforms and kick down your doors looking for "abused animals" like the fucking Gestapo. Another organization dedicated to denying real 'murricans' right to kick downer cows, Mercy For Animals, reports that one of the Conklin Dairy workers on trial in Ohio pleaded guilty to six misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals; he was sentenced to eight months in jail, to pay a $1,000 fine, may not come into contact with animals for three years. I wonder how much jail time ol' egg-recall DeCoster will get for causing hundreds of people to contract Salmonella illness? Or for allowing for the torture of so many hens for so many decades? Yeah, vegetarians, nice job with the eggs-and-milk diet. But hey, milk and yogurt are so hot right now, especially unpasteurized milk, which you have to buy it all under-the-table like bathtub gin. Hope it doesn't kill you!
Have you had your dose of rage today? I know you skimmed that anti-HSUS polemic, but this interview with Hal Herzog about his new book Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat will really raise your blood pressure. He's a real peach, Hal Herzog; "What do we make of the fact that in 1933 the Nazi party enacted the world's most progressive animal protection legislation?" he asks, and BAM you know you're not going to get a sensible word out of him. It's endorsed by Irene M. Pepperberg, the "Me" of Alex & Me—you know, the African Grey parrot who never got to leave the lab—and Vegansaurus' favorite "animal welfare activist," Temple Grandin. And the interview itself is nothing but softball questions, no follow-ups on the ridiculous claims Herzog makes, and OH he makes some outrageous ones. Maybe a better book for people with logical brains and feeling hearts is The Lost Dogs by Jim Gorant; it's the story of the 49 pit bulls after their rescued from Michael Vick's dogfighting ring in 2007.
Another Millie Marotta screen print! This one is a donkey, could you tell?
Good news, everyone! Since 1999, scientists have possessed the silk gene, but now they're able to reproduce it in seeds, tubers, and transgenic tobacco. Imagine a word of cruelty-free silk! That doesn't mean science is done with animals, though; suppressing a certain gene in mice—which is also found in humans—can affect cognition; they call it "the Homer Simpson gene," ha ha ha they can make mice stupider! Does that mean it will affect humans the same way? WHO KNOWS? They don't even know all the effects of the suppression of this gene on the mice yet! Well, at least the FDA hasn't approved that poor AquAdvantage "salmon" yet, despite the feelings (read: ridiculous arguments) of our esteemed colleague at Reason feels. You know, if we trusted libertarians, the majority of our grandparents would be living in the rooms we are living in now at our parents' house. "Free-market solution" is an oxymoron, friends. As is "Corn refiners care about your health, which is why they want to change the name of high-fructose corn syrup." Wait, no, that's a lie, and Marion Nestle's gonna fuck you up.
Last Sunday, Sept. 12, anti-bullfighting organizations CAS International, PACMA, and AnimaNaturalis held a collective protest of the Torneo del Toro de la Vega in Tordesillas, Spain. This torneo involves men on horseback and on foot chasing a bull across a bridge toward a meadow. During the run, these men repeatedly stab the bull with lances, but they aren't allowed to kill him until they all reach the vega. Then the man who kills the bull gets the "honor" of cutting off the bull's testicles, and parading around the village with them; then he gets a gold medal. Just like an Olympic athlete, you guys! This year's bull was named Platanito, and apparently his ordeal was over in 15 minutes, which is comparatively brief. We are also super-impressed with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, who already this week murdered a bear for violating a three-strikes law; now they're demanding an expedited permit to hunt the fuck out of the 525 wolves remaining in their state. They only want to kill, like 75, and they won't gas any babies this time, they swear. Just because an animal is on the federal endangered species list, that doesn't mean you can't shoot a few of them, right? Come on!

Catalonia bans bullfighting! Viva España! »
Bullfighting is so nasty and I fucking* hate it! So I was very glad when Meave reported that an amendment to the animal protection laws in Catalonia, Spain passed! Bullfighting is so over, jack!
I was totally happy about this animal victory but on Facebook today, one of my Spanish friends criticized the motives behind the ban, claiming it's a matter of politics and not concern for animals. My friend Santi, who says he hates bullfighting, also had this to say:
They are doing it to say we are not Spanish. Make no mistake, Catalans also like bullfighting considering the number of people turning up to arenas. They have used this to say we are not like them to the world!
I do have to point out that the anti-bullfighting side used the fact that bullfighting has been declining in popularity as an indicator of public thought, so I question just how much Catalans like the "sport." According to the Barcelona Reporter, "Barcelona's last bullring is so unprofitable that the company managing it intends to give up the business next year." The Guardian also reported the ban, focusing on the political implications of the issue. Pro-bullfighting peeps are saying Catalonia is using the ban as a big fuck-you to the rest of Spain.
Guess what has two thumbs and couldn't give a shit about the motives that ban bullfighting?! THIS GUY! Bullfighting is disgusting and anyone who likes it is despicable. I said it! I don't care why, I'm just glad it's on its way out. Another thing I'm a fan of: matadors getting totally thrashed by bulls. I'm pro that. Fuck those douchebags.
Many of the bullfighting supporters also say the ban is an attack on Spain's cultural heritage. An op-ed on cnn.com from last month addressed this cultural heritage argument. See, major news outlets aren't always big ol' jerkwads! The author, Jordi Casamitjana, is a consultant for PROU, a super-dope anti-bullfighting organization. Casamitjana says:
Many pro-bullfighting activists have argued that the "sport" is an important part of the Spanish culture and should not be banned. But cultural heritage is no excuse for inflicting pain on a frightened and confused animal. This campaign is not a matter of arbitrary prohibitions or of stomping on people's individual freedoms. It is a matter of suffering.
Do you love this guy or what?
If you don't think bullfighting is fucking repulsive, watch a few youtube videos like this one supplied by SHARKonline. I don't want to post them on here because they make me cry and I don't want to make you guys cry because then you'll all be at work looking like a bunch of nancies.
Bonus! The story of Ferdinand the bull! Of course in real life, they'd totally stab him to death but still, Ferdinand is totally adorbs:
[can't see the video? watch it on vegansaurus.com!]
*My parents are dedicated Vegansaurus readers and they get upset at the foul language because they are so very old and square. So to them, I must apologize for dropping the f-bomb but bullfighting makes me so mad!

We're all '60s-crazy over here, maybe you can tell? Mad Men is nigh (!!!) and we've got the silliest songs stuck in our heads, and here comes this amazing Airstream camper for your little dog to perfect our little fantasies. [Straight Line Designs via Pawesome]
Que faites-vous ce weekend?
Tonight is Vegan Happy Hour and potluck, hosted by Mr. Vegansaur Jordan at the Hemlock Tavern from 6 to 9. Be there, or have less fun in your life.
On Sunday afternoon, take a tour of the trees in and around Dolores Park with Chris of Mr. Prune Tree Care. The tour will be in English and Spanish, and run about two hours. Meet at the J stop at Church and 18th Streets at 11 a.m. [thanks for the tip, Mission Mission!]
Hands-On Gourmet is hosting an All-American BBQ workshop on Monday, July 12 to teach you how to make the best animal-free, gluten-free barbecue meal ever. Dishes will include burger buns, patties, potato salad, strawberry shortcake, and ice cream! Gluten-free beer will be available for tasting—attendees must be 12 or older. The workshop runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at the H.O.G. Kitchen at 2325 3rd St., No. 330; tickets cost $75. Please contact Joshua with any questions.
Wholesome Bakery, in conjunction with Ritual Coffee, will lead cookie and cupcake workshops at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (701 Mission St. at 3rd Street) as part of this summer's Taste! program. There's a coffee workshop (duh), too, and an art project called The Ministry of Approximate Travel by local artist Jenny Odell. Every Thursday in July in the Grand Lobby from 6 to 8 p.m. I'd say visit the YBCA's website for more information, but as of today they actually have no information about it, so.
Voudriez-vous quelque chose à lire?
Anti-bullfighting activists protest in San Fermín, Spain. If you read Spanish, this article might prove interesting. [photo via AnimaNaturalis]
People treat animals really poorly, did you know? In Dublin (Calif., not Ireland), some assholes stole a penguin from the zoo, then abandoned her on a fucking sidewalk. HILARIOUS PRANK, guys! Ooh, the new gourmet food is lionfish, because it's a super-destructive invasive species, wreaking havoc all over the Gulf of Mexico, into the Caribbean, and moving down into South American waters, and "humans are the only predator that can wipe it out." But how did the lionfish, a native of the western Pacific Ocean, get to the other side of the world? Oh, well, see, people in South Florida who kept them in fishtanks in the '80s started dumping the fish in the ocean! The wrong ocean! Whoops! And the lionfish figured out how to thrive, and now it's fucking shit up for coral reefs all over the place. SO LET'S EAT THEM UP TO RECTIFY OUR MISTAKES. Humanity at its best.
Or no, humanity is at its best when it keeps monkeys for research, and the monkeys, because they're miserable in captivity and hate being experimented on, figure out a genius method of escape, but don't want to leave all their monkey pals behind, so are "lured back into captivity by scientists armed with peanuts." I am so proud to be a human right now! BACK BEHIND THE ELECTRIC FENCE, WE MUST CONDUCT MORE TERRIFYING EXPERIMENTS ON YOU, PRIMATE.
People are also totally nasty. KFC makes its buckets from trees in North Carolina's Green Swamp, which for some reason (money) isn't protected land, but should be, except (money) KFC is clear-cutting it for fucking buckets. Thanks, government! And thanks, Western "junk food"—you know, your franchises of animal-products-in-everything, plus corn syrup—for giving 15 percent of men and 16 percent of women in Southeast Asia type 2 diabetes! Capitalism, you guys, it's the best. Free market forever. In San Francisco you won't be able to buy full-sugar sodas or waters in vending machines on city property anymore, but milk—both dairy and non-dairy!!—will be available. Calories are not all the same, you know—better to get some from protein and fat in soy milk than all from HFCS in a soda, yes? YES.
Deep Roots Animal Sanctuary needs your help to build a coop for their chicken, Mabel, and the chickens they hope to rescue in the future! The coop will be environmentally friendly, Mabel will have friends, and Deep Roots can save more birds. Birds are amazing, did you know? Robins can actually see magnetic fields, which helps them orient themselves. [link via The Telling Compulsion].
Kevin the kestrel is an amazing patient of St. Tiggywinkles [sic] wildlife hospital in Buckinghamshire, England! Someone found him on the ground with a broken leg, and the St. Tiggywinkles staff set it with "a hypodermic needle as a pin, some thin pieces of wire and dental cement." We wish you a quick and happy recovery, Kevin!
So the president is all, Hey you congressjerks should pass the Food Safety and Modernization Act, it is Srs Bsns. And farmers are getting up on the Facebooks and Twitters, all, We're safe and good and not harmful of the cows etc., don't listen to Mercy for Animals, those guys are mean and biased. And I say, I am mean and biased, NO SYMPATHY.
Let's look at restaurant reviews in the Chronicle! This week, Michael Bauer takes in the "modern neighborhood feel" of Encuentro, and what do you know, his take is very similar to our own Brianna's! To wit: pretty all right, but could use some improvements. Lucky Oakland with its new restaurants. Lucky SFO, next, getting fancy-pants food from Napa Farms Market in Terminal 2 when it opens in March 2011.
Have you read about the Marines who rescued kittens in Afghanistan? I suppose it means people aren't 100 percent terrible 100 percent of the time, and it's nice to see some small acts of kindness in a world of enormous cruelty. Right? Sure.

Who's saying the dumbest-ever shit about the Gulf oil spill? Presently, it's Slow Food USA, which recommends helping "your food friends of the Gulf" by eating seafood from the Gulf. Alternatively, you could listen to Vegansaur Steve, whose response posts on euthanizing oiled birds this week provoked some debate on Treehugger.
In further bird-related news, last year's Mercy For Animals investigation into a Maine egg farm resulted in a settlement requiring the violators to pay over $130,000, the "largest penalty in a farm animals abuse case in this country." Farm Sanctuary reports that the birds rescued from the Cal-Cruz Hatchery in California last year are happy and healthy, so at least there's that.
OK let's get the depressing stuff out of the way in one go. First, Bullfighting: A Troubled History by Elisabeth Hardouin-Fougier was just released in English. Second, Spain, land of bullfighting, is also home to a meat vending machine. Third, pet stores are alive and well in San Francisco, but the city's Animal Commission will hold a hearing on a ban-type proposal on Thursday, July 8. You should attend, if you have an opinion on institutions like puppy mills. You could also get this lovely "support low-cost spaying and neutering" license plate, if you lived in California and owned a vehicle.. Fourth, this article on "The Animal-Cruelty Syndrome" in the New York Times: have you cried from rage yet today?
Video: Greenpeace vs. French tuna fishermen. Greenpeace mean serious business on the open sea, you guys, way more than those Deadliest Catch jerks.
Adorable photos of kid helping with the White House garden harvest. More adorable photos of rescued kids at Farm Sanctuary.
Whole Foods markets in San Francisco are interested in selling foods from local street vendors. Have you got vegan edibles you'd like to see at WF? Email Harvinder Singh with your ideas. Though of course mind the story of Pepples Donuts.
People are wetting their pants over this new tastes-just-like-chicken vegan foodstuff, in joy and terror; what do you think about it?

Can't wait for hunting season to get here. Ghillie suit is what I expected it to be.
Can't wait for the huntin'season so I can get this suit in the woods. I will make a few dry runs the week before the season opens.
Haven't used it yet but tried it on and seems to fit nicely. I did scare my kids with it when I walked through the house with it on.
What ghillie suit? Oh that one, almost didn't see it! Seriously, just what I was after.
First suit like this. Hung it up in the woods about 75 yards away and couldn't see it. Will use for turkey and deer hunting. Impressed with the quality.

THE COMMON BADGER is one of the largest members of the weasel family. An average adult of this species has a total length of about 28 inches, including the tail which is 5 inches long. Its weight is about 13 pounds, although individuals weighing up to 20 pounds have been encountered. This animal has short but powerful legs, squatty but broad body, and a short tail. The black and white facial marks, the long, shaggy, grizzled-gray hairs, the small ears, and short thick neck are all conspicuous characters. The claws, particularly of the front feet, are large (more than an inch long), slightly curved, and well developed for digging. The under parts are yellowish white with short and relatively scarce hair. Experience indicates that the eyesight of the badger is not too keen but that its sense of smell is unusually well developed.
This animal is especially adapted to "digging for a living" and is not lazy. While it spends a large portion of its existence underground digging out rodents, it travels overland from one burrow to the next. During its lifetime one of these animals will dig a surprising number of miles of burrows.
The badger works by day as well as by night. On June 8, 1930, at 4:30 p. m., near Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, I spied a flat animal, about 2-1/2 feet long, sneaking about in the grass and brush near the road. Upon investigating, I found that it was a badger hunting for ground squirrels. Its gait, as it wiggled slowly along with its body close to the ground, was similar to that of a "sowbug." As I approached, it quickly sought refuge in a shallow burrow from which, apparently, it recently had dug out a ground squirrel.
Frightened by my nearer approach, the animal ran down an old burrow. After I had waited quietly for a few minutes, it turned around and cautiously poked its head out of its underground refuge (see illustration) to see who the stranger might be. Apparently these animals have considerable curiosity.
Badgers are known for their ability to withstand the attacks of dogs and other animals. A blow that would kill a coyote or fox usually makes little impression on a badger.
The badger is one of the many animals that has profited through the continued and thorough protection afforded it in our national parks, where it aids in maintaining the natural balance by keeping down excessive numbers of rodents, particularly ground squirrels and gophers.

PHPSUEXEC and local php.ini
30 March 2007 at 8:06am Last edited: 30 March 2007 8:06am
First off, SilverStrip is incredible. I played with it for a couple of weeks at home and am going to switch my freelance/portfolio site to it.
I using Fused Networks as my host and they meet all of the requirements. But one is kinda funky.
They use PHPSUEXEC. Even though mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are enabled in the https.conf file, apparently I have to put any modifications in a local php.ini file.
My install is failing on the mod_rewrite test saying:
mod_rewrite doesn't appear to be working. Make sure:
* mod_rewite is enabled in your httpd.conf
* AllowOverride is enabled for the current path.
Please check these options, then refresh this page.
I am still researching but does anyone know how I would enable these in a local php.ini, or if SilverStripe will work in this configuration.
Re: PHPSUEXEC and local php.ini
30 March 2007 at 8:48am
Solved my own problem. The CMS actually wrote the necessary .htaccess values to a file called .htaccess_rewrite.
I just copied those values into .htaccess, saved it and SilverStripe fired right up.
Once I get my hands dirty I will see if it barks at anything else around phpsuexec.

can you clarify whether your issues above were with 2.0.0 or 2.0.1rc2? the reason i ask is so we know if we need to fix anything, or if we can just go ahead and release 201!
cheers for your positive feedback btw!
Re: PHPSUEXEC and local php.ini
31 March 2007 at 3:17am
I was installing 2.01rc2. Platform info at the host follows:
Operating system Linux
Kernel version 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp
Machine Type i686
Apache version 1.3.37 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.7
PHP version 5.2.0
MySQL version 4.1.21-standard-log
If I run into any snags while getting the site in order, I'll post the findings.

In a global sense, the digital divide is over. We're no longer separated by space and time. From an economic standpoint, of course, this is indisputably beneficial. Since knowledge is power, the rise of universal connectivity and information markets is vastly expanding human capacity for creating wealth. Yet from a values standpoint, it is deeply troubling. Because at the heart of these technologies lies a perilous challenge to human freedom itself: Can you still be the author of your own life?
Virtually unnoticed, the sovereign rights of man are being eroded by the conjunction of cloud-computing technologies and crowd-sourcing philosophies. The rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are central to our identity and well-being, but they're being dragged under the bus of innovation. Here's how:
The right to life is based on the idea that life is the standard of moral value. Its aim is to protect the individual's ability to take every action necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of his or her life. Implicit in this right – always – is the right to property. What happens, then, in this era where access trumps ownership?
Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, where shared information is provided to users on demand, like electricity. These usercentric, "pay as you go, use only what you need" systems are affecting nearly every facet of life. In the clouds, we are forever "clients" utilizing distant servers to borrow and invest in intangible capital.

Actually its 750ma per led, and because they are blinking it will not reach the 19A.
I do understand the use of a transistor to drive the led, but what is really confusing me is that on the project both the positive and ground lines are connected to arduino ports.
Meaning that to turn on a led I will need to drive the positive port high and the ground port low.
I do I deal wiht driving the ground port low using a transistor or a IC ?
Thans for the replies.

The Glyph of Quick Decay (which every afflictionlock and demolock should use) let's your corruption scale with Haste.
So if you've got that glyph, and you refresh your Corruption thanks to the Everlasting Affliction Talent (by casting Haunt, Shadowbolt or Drain soul), your Corruption refreshes.
The refreshed corruption keeps it's old critchance and damagemodifiers, but gets your current haste and spellpower.
So..... crit and damagemodifiers "roll" the whole fight, while the haste and spellpower (of corruption) gets refreshed every single time corruption is refreshed by Everlasting Afflicion.
