The world's most beautiful first ladies
By Meenakshi Shankar
Powerful, resilient, glamorous, famous – for once, we are not talking about the celebs who rule the entertainment and fashion biz, but we are talking about powerful women who stand loyally by the sides of powerful men who rule the state. And as the oft-used saying goes, "Behind every man, there is a beautiful woman", we bring you our top five takes on the most elegant and beautiful first ladies.
Queen Rania of Jordan
Her Majesty Queen Rania is the world's youngest queen. A Coldplay fan, she's also a fashion designer's darling (Givenchy and Roland Mouret are favorites), a Desperate Housewives devotee and an outspoken advocate in her Muslim country for long-taboo causes like women's rights and victims of child abuse. Whether commanding attention at the 2004 World Economic Forum or plopping herself on the floor with a dozen children at a puppet show to highlight child safety, Rania, as she is called by friends and colleagues, "is the epitome of modern royalty." It's not suprising when there is comparison to Late Princess Diana. A doting mother Queen Rania admits with humility that as a working mother, juggling the demands of her job and four young children is not easy. Like all parents she says, "I strive to achieve the right balance. My official activities take account of the children's school day and their plans and programs, and extensive periods of time on overseas engagements are limited. Spending a couple of hours each night with the children doing homework or reading to them in bed gives them, and me, a sense of security."

Ireland imposes 6th straight austerity budgetBy SHAWN POGATCHNIK
The Associated Press | December 06,2012DUBLIN Irelands government unveiled plans for (euro) 3.5 billion ($4.5 billion) in new taxes and spending cuts in the debt-burdened countrys sixth straight austerity budget.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan told a hushed parliamentary chamber that Ireland must keep slashing its deficits down to the eurozone limit of 3 percent of GDP and it still has a long way to go. He said Ireland expects to report deficits of 8.2 percent this year and 7.5 percent next year, but only if the country can deliver stronger economic growth in the face of deepening cuts.
Noonan vowed that the government would lead this country out of the despair and despondency and lack of self-worth in which we found ourselves in March 2011, when the government gained power.
His 2013 budget includes plans for a new property tax; higher taxes on the incomes of pensioners who receive more than (euro) 60,000 ($78,000) annually; and (euro) 2 billion in cuts to government spending, including on state-subsidized medical care and payments to parents based on the number of children they have. The cost of buying and keeping vehicles, already exceptionally high by European standards, was due to increase again.
He also raised taxes on alcoholic and tobacco products, a significant factor in Irelands household average. Each pint of beer and standard measure of whiskey will cost 10 cents (13 U.S. cents) more as of today, bottles of wine (euro) 1 ($1.30) more, each pack of 20 cigarettes 10 cents more.
Ireland has endured increasing austerity since 2008, when a decade-long property boom fueled by access to cheap eurozone credit went spectacularly bust. The previous government was forced to nationalize five banks and, in late 2010, Ireland become the second eurozone country after Greece to negotiate an international bailout.
Irelands European and International Monetary Fund loans are due to run out next year, by which time the government hopes to have reassured global investors enough to resume the normal sale of bonds at affordable rates. Its treasury has already mounted several successful bond sales since July.
Speaking after Noonan, Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Brendan Howlin spelled out a cavalcade of 2013 cuts, benefit by benefit, service by service but maintained that the worst was already over for this country of 4.6 million.
When I took office last year I couldnt be certain that we would, as a nation, make it through this crisis. I no longer hold that fear, Howlin told lawmakers. What the people of Ireland have endured has been tough, almost without precedent in the developed world. That we will come through it and we will is a significant shared achievement for our people. In time, future generations will be proud that we as a people tackled this crisis head on.
The property tax looms as the most difficult measure to enforce in a country where home ownership has long been viewed as a birthright. Today, around four-fifths of households own rather than rent and many are now trapped in negative equity mortgages.
Noonan said property owners would be expected to declare each propertys estimated worth and pay 0.18 percent of that annually in tax starting in July. Those in homes valued over (euro) 1 million would pay 0.25 percent above that threshold. That suggests an annual average payment of (euro) 315, given Irelands median price for homes and apartments is around (euro) 175,000 half the level from just four years ago.
Noonan defended the rationale for introducing a subjective property tax, rather than raising income tax rates, which he left unchanged. He said taxing property was better for the protection and creation of jobs whereas taxes on paychecks increase the costs of employment.
Ireland also unveiled its latest jobless figures Wednesday. Unemployment fell to 14.6 percent in November versus 14.7 percent the previous month, its best level since mid-2011. The figure would be far worse but for four straight years of emigration estimated at 60,000 to 80,000 job-seekers annually.
Noonan said the government was sticking by its economic forecasts of 1.5 percent growth in GDP next year, 2.5 percent in 2014 and 2.9 percent in 2015 despite imposing more cuts that suck money from the real economy. Economists say its difficult to make such predictions for Ireland, which hosts nearly 1,000 high-tech multinationals and is exceptionally exposed by European standards to economic trends in Britain and the United States, its two major trading partners.
Ireland has experienced little of the social or labor upheaval experienced in other debt-struck countries in part because of a government-brokered agreement between unions and employers, but that 2009 pact appears to be fraying at the seams, with many employers resisting unions demands for scheduled pay increases.
About 500 socialist and Irish republican protesters marched Wednesday night on the parliament, some carrying placards declaring Boycott the property tax and General strike now. A minority scuffled with 40 police officers at the parliaments wrought iron gates, mostly exchanging shoves and harsh words. Police lifted several protesters by the limbs off the roadway and set them down on the sidewalk, but reported no arrests or serious injuries.
As usual, Ireland did not touch its 12.5 percent rate on company profits, a key factor for more than 500 U.S. companies that have made Ireland their eurozone base. France and Germany have repeatedly complained that the Irish tax rate, less than half their own, poaches jobs from other eurozone members.MORE IN National / World BusinessCAMBRIDGE, Mass.

Brookings Mountain West presents "The Return of Geopolitical Competition"
Brookings Mountain West presents "The Return of Geopolitical Competition and the Future of American Grand Strategy," a talk by Thomas Wright, fellow, Foreign Policy.
One of the defining features of world politics since the financial crisis is the return of geopolitical competition. In North East Asia, China and Japan are locked in a struggle for control of the Senkaku/ Diaoyu Islands while relations between South Korea and Japan have deteriorated over history issues. In the Middle East, a proxy war is being fought over Syria and the region seems headed to a Cold War between Sunnis and Shias. In Eastern Europe, Russia successfully thwarted EU efforts to engage Armenia and Ukraine. In this lecture, Thomas Wright describes the return of geopolitics and argues that it will present new challenges for the global order and the United States. To address these challenges, the United States needs to adjust its grand strategy and engage deeply in East Asia and the Middle East.
Admission Information:
This lecture is free and open to the public. No reservation or ticket required.
When: Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2014
Where: UNLV Greenspun Hall, 4505 Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These Peace Prose Poetry poems are examples of Prose Poetry poems about Peace. These are the best examples of Peace Prose Poetry poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Tell me of your peace.
Let it tell your story now
Of trials and tribulations, a tale not of dreams
Weary from a journey of self-discovery
My child, know the comfort in your peace
You feel hope in this familiar place
As it gently sloughs the pain away
Tell me of your peace
In which we all are blessed and free
Search throughout your soul sweet child
Peer not within your cluttered mind
Look out to rest your tired eyes but do not let them see
Solace found strewn upon daily thoughts is fleeting at it's best
Lasting merely moments, in untouched souls a true peace
Oh yes! You'll know when you arrive but only you will know
The world will melt away as a candle left under the blazing sun
Away away, until you feel home again, an unguided familiar scene
An innocence once lost is restored, all sins suddenly forgiven
Soaking this in with relucant ease,
Breathe it deep with a slow release
Take it in, delight in details you discover
Be calm here child, please have no fear, I am here
You are safe in this place of yours, no hurt no tears
We share not the same peace, no no
Unique to each of us, yet stranger to none
Trust in more than what you see, know beauty is within reach
We share this unspoken bond of freedom from ourselves
Please young one, listen closer now
I say, leave it all behind you love, it will only weigh you down
Cleanse yourself of careless words and careful lies
I know you're weary, let go of all you carry
Don't be afraid, here you are burden free
Trust in you, blessed one, it's easier than you believe
Sweet child, tell me now if you see
Peace resting deep within
Waiting for you
For you to let it be
"Peace" whispered a child. It was an arbitrary gust that carried the word to a
young man who repeated it out loud in a very positive tone. "Peace" he said and
the message caught the ear of a sprite old man.
Loudly he spoke into a fast moving breeze "Peace' he declared and the air
carried the communication miles dropping it into thousands of ears.
"Peace" roared the crowd and the word grew wings and flew into a hurricane
that echoed in the ears of the masses.
Millions uttered "Peace" and in an irony of nature the moving wings of a tiny
hummingbird sent the expression on a trip that encompassed the whole planet.
The declaration fell on every ear and every person was sure their God had
spoken to them.
Maybe he had because from that day on every human had the spirit of peace in
the blood that flowed through their hearts. Peace was now the liquid that
sustained them and with it they could explore the beauty that existed both
within and outside of them.
"Love" whispered a child.
When I was young, I would mock the raven,
Never dreaming her harsh call was a cry
Across the water to the castle of her brother
King Bram, the Raven, ruler of the British Isles.
Never did I dream of the destruction
That would follow this desperate plea
Sent upon the wings of a blackened crow.
When I was young, I thought childhood
Would last forever; secure in my father's care,
Content in the loving arms of my mother,
Never did I dream of the devastating war
That would follow this messenger of our doom
Carried across the seas to inflict upon our land
A war of vengeful purpose and contempt.
When I was young, peace prevailed in our land;
Our King was just and beloved by his people.
Then came a marriage, an alliance between
Ireland and England. Queen Branwen;
Discontent, lonely, hungry for power,
Hated by her court for the intrigue
And bloody sanctions imposed upon all
Who did not obey her sanctimonious whim;
Queen Branwen, beautiful daughter of England.
When I was young, I stood beneath
The blasted pine, looking up at the black bird
As she screamed out her litany of wrongs,
Watching as she lifted her wings to soar across the water.
My father, general of Ireland, fell upon the shores
Fighting to repel Bran's vengeful warriors;
My mother, condemned by her beauty
Fell among the vanquished women.
When I was young, I did not fear the raven;
Now I live in the court of the Raven King,
He, who conquered my people for naught as his sister
Queen Branwen, the White Raven, took her life
And walks now, shriven and pale, among the graves
Of the fallen warriors; forever singing her lament
Of sorrow and regret; far too late, far too late.
When I was young, I believed in the goodness of men.
Now I am old; my raven hair is streaked with silver.
The voice of Bran echoes through this palace
As he cries out exhortations to his conquering soldiers;
As he cries for peace and fellowship in his land.
When I was young, I would mock the raven;
Now I am old and have harnessed the power
Of the raven's call. I cry to my people for vengeance;
I wait for their rescue, as I haunt the halls of the Raven King.
[Loosely based on the legend of Bran, the Raven King of England
and Branwen, his sister, who was married to the king of Ireland.
It is said that King Bran speaks still in England through the cries of the raven.]

I say for the

amid the shell of
their bitterness

""Like moths with dark shadows
in their eyes children running and playing
in their absence with no reflection of time driven
by their guilt and heavy hands of shame; who are
they now the bereaving?" - "Because I know the cost
uneven, of pride - the-cost-is-more and is always
cutting, cutting-me-down - one that is always-
cutting-them - you.""
"Who will reject this speak
for their plight rejoice
with them, us; lest I
am anyone the
one but who
is for everyone
who is any one?"
"Which friend from
the expressions worn
upon the falling leaves, I
can tell now time a gift is much
shorter than what I often believe."
""For me... all of us, I believe leaves they are the Purest Example
of God's Love Patience and Mercy; shown to us - and as Seasons are
always changing along with them; what He gave me, you - which is what
the Goodness and Promise of Any True Opportunity is; is what I feel is one
that is just as (H)onest and ((O))pen, just as (((W)))illing, needed; wanted
for any one,
"anyone... !""
""So sown now in this time left friend I must tell you - I would wish
to be anything if found worthy to be the one caught, cut, killed -
working for The Greater Idea of Peace - and so as he came
to the grand corner, he walks away tossing a leaf behind
him-the last words from him; being - "Stop
all wars" time being what it is;

Written In Honor of Brenden Fosters' Faith and Courage...
Poem inspired by the last words of an 11 year old child in Seattle.
Quote by Brenden
"When I leave this world…
I wish to become an angel…
Who accomplishes even more
In heaven…then I did on earth."
Link to Brendens' story and poem that ear2hearyou wrote as well to honor him:
Dusk by the curving river caught
me unguarded only this once:
Wrapped around my core and spiraled
Upwards as I glimpsed the entwined
webbed crosses sifting sinking sun
like twinkling dewy light breathing
an evening song.
And as coffee colored canoes passed, I thought
of a parade I watched when a child,
contrasted only by the drummers' beat.
Streams of colors
blended with the descending dark,
and the vision on the river lingered.
There's a void, now
Where once a steadfast heart beat time
The soul in perfect harmony with life's uncertain pulse
With those who clambered eagerly in solace or in joy
To scale that mighty pinnacle
The Rock, within the bosom of the family
There's a void, now
But marvel at the structure, the firmness of the ground beneath
The strata richly layered with wisdom of generations past
A fault free seam constructing firm foundations
Binding those within the bosom of the family
There's a void, now
A hollow cavern
echoing the anger and the pain
Trust time; it has no fear of finite elements
The source of unremitting pain
Within the bosom of the family
There's a void, now
So fill the emptiness and catalogue the memories
Harvesting the richness of their meaning
The fullness of the seed sown long ago
To bloom forever within the bosom of the family

Press Releases
Animal Advocates Commend Governor Blagojevich's Veto of Bill that Would Expand Use of Cruel Snares in Illinois
Springfield, IL — Animal welfare organizations, activated by more than 600,000 Illinois constituents, lobbied Governor Rod R. Blagojevich to veto House Bill 1486. Sponsored by the fur-industry lobby organization "Fur Takers of America," HB 1486 would have allowed trappers to use wire neck snares to trap and strangle several species of fur-bearing animals. Citing humane concerns, Governor Blagojevich vetoed the bill.
Stating that snares "cruelly kill animals," Governor Blagojevich also said that he refused "to support this particularly gruesome hunting method that's been banned in Illinois for over fifty years."
A coalition of animal welfare organizations, including the Animal Protection Institute (API), the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and Illinois Humane, congratulated the Governor for vetoing the bill.
"We commend Governor Rod Blagojevich for saying 'No' to the fur industry's attempts to further legalize a device that is known to cause immense pain and suffering to animals," said Camilla Fox, Director of Wildlife Programs for the Animal Protection Institute. "With this action, the Governor has made a clear statement that snares have no place in a humane and civilized world."
"Illinois Humane commends the Governor for making the only reasonable choice, and that is ensuring that public safety trumps a narrow interest that seeks to bring back an inhumane practice banned from this state years ago," said Jane McBride, President of Illinois Humane. "It is good common sense to oppose the placement of these indiscriminate, inhumane devices out on the land in this state."
Snares are generally made of a light wire cable looped through a locking device, and are designed to tighten around the neck or other body part as an animal struggles. The more the animal struggles, the tighter the noose becomes. While small victims may become unconscious in five to ten minutes, larger animals may suffer for hours or days.
Snares are notoriously indiscriminate and frequently capture non-target animals, including threatened and endangered species as well as domestic dogs and cats. Records obtained from state and federal wildlife agencies by API show that bald eagles, lynx, wolves, and other species listed under the Endangered Species Act have been injured and killed in snares.
"Governor Blagojevich's bold and compassionate action will protect our pets from becoming entangled and killed in these barbaric devices," said Ledy VanKavage, Senior Director of Legislation for the ASPCA.
"By vetoing this bill, Governor Blagojevich has preserved five decades of humane wildlife law in Illinois and has chosen a public policy based on animal welfare rather than the commercial and recreational killing of animals for their fur pelts," said Michael Markarian, Executive Vice President of The Humane Society of the United States.

CHARLOTTESVILLE - Around 11 p.m. Friday night 16-year-old Fiona Erskine's parents say their daughter went outside to take pictures of the moon and never came back.
Her dad went outside to look for her and found her phone in the grass with pictures of the moon on it, but no sign of her.
Soon she was reported missing to police and the national database, and info and pictures posted on twitter and Facebook were retweeted and shared with thousands, her mother saying she was sure she was abducted.
Fiona had been missing for eleven hours before she was found and brought back home the next day.
What happened in those eleven hours is still a mystery.
Fiona's father says they are at just the beginning of a long process of recovery and healing and that they have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from neighbors, friends and community. They are grateful for everyone's help and prayers.
They said they couldn't comment further as there is an active investigation.
Meanwhile police aren't saying anything beyond they are investigating this as a possible abduction.

ModHex Calculator
The ModHex Calculator is a simple tool to convert values between different data encoding formats.
The Modified Hexadecimal encoding scheme was invented to cope with potential keyboard mapping ambiguities, namely the inconstant locations of keys between different keyboard layouts. The YubiKey uses this special data encoding format known as "modhex" rather than normal hex encoding or base64 encoding. Modhex is similar to hex encoding but with a different encoding alphabet. The reason is to achieve a keyboard layout independent encoding.

BBD (Bell Biv DeVoe)
Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ron DeVoe, better known as BBD a.k.a. Bell Biv DeVoe bridge the gap between hip-hop and R&B like no other male group today.
An offshoot of the hugely popular 80's vocal group New Edition, BBD fused hip-hop beats, b-boy attitude and R&B harmonies. The result was 1990's explosive debut album, Poison, which would go on to sell over 4 million copies and spawn the platinum title cut, the Top 3 single, "Do Me!" and the popular "BBD (I Thought It Was Me)" and "When Will I See You Smile Again?." In 1991, the group followed up their debut with WBBD-Bootcity (Remix Album). The remix album sold over 700,000 units. In 1993, BBD released the gold-certified Hootie Mack, which contained the hit ballad "Something In Your Eyes." In 1996, the group participated in the New Edition reunion that resulted in the multi-platinum Home Again.
BBD is stronger than ever before. Since their early days with New Edition they have sold over 20 million albums and won over millions of fans around the world. BBD has been nominated for numerous Grammy's, claimed three American Music Awards, two Soul Train Awards, received keys to cities across the country and have been honored for their humanitarian efforts. Their extraordinary accomplishments have set them apart from their peers and have made them icons in their own right.
Bivins adds, "We live the life we sing about. We stay in the mix and we're tight on what's going on today.
Asked if they are nervous about facing the challenges of the ever changing music Industry, DeVoe laughs, "No, we're anxious to meet those challenges because we have such a hunger and desire to stay current and keep performing hot shows." Fans can continue expect high powered, intense live performances that the group is known for.
"There is a younger generation who might not be totally aware of us," Bell admits, "and so we wanted to make appeal to them and at the same time not alienate our long time fans. And we did that by just sticking to what we always do. Making music and do shows that everyone can relate to."
"To be honest," Bivins says, "I really like who we are now- both as individuals and as a group.
And after seeing a BBD show, so will you.

The Cooperation Council of Political Parties and Coalitions of Afghanistan has accused the Karzai regime of setting up the 2014 presidential election for fraud after the government forced the country's election body to back down on implementing new voter registrations.
Members of the 20-party council said that the president intervened in the affairs of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) instead of encouraging a fair and transparent election.
Officials of Afghanistan's largest private airline Kam Air have rejected the claim that the airline has been smuggling opium to neighbouring Tajikistan.
Kam Air president Zmarai Kamgar Saturday said in a press conference said that the US military accusation, reported by the Wall Street Journal on Friday, is "wrong."

A Very Happy Day (For Cronos)4 Reviews
With the characters Jay, Theresa, Atlanta, Archie, Otis, Harry, and Neil very good in my friends opinion you should read.
One dark and evil Thursday morning Cronos was finally planning to get rid of those really annoying Titans...
"I have an up-to-date idea no tricks no co-workers involved just murder HAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHE snort, snort, snort" crackled and snorted Cronos very, very evilly.
Meanwhile back at the base (where the titans live) they were planning how to get Cronos back to jail...
" I say we try to trap him with a funky device" announced Jay.
"I think we should just let him take a look at me and then take a look at himself and let him breakdown and cry because he realizes that he's so ugly!" Neil said in a surprisingly long sentence.
"NO!" everybody yelled.
"Why not?" Neil asked hurt.
"Because it won't work duh" Otis remarked.
"Ok, ok everybody I have an idea yes me a girl...Jay. I say we just let him see us all give up on trying to get him in jail again and then once he comes down in his evil portal we beat him till he's unconscious and throw him in jail." Theresa announced better than Jay.
"Actually that might work" Archie exclaimed.
"I have no doubts that it will work" Atlanta said.
"Sigh, ok when will we do this." Jay said unenthusiastically.
"Well I think it should be at 2:30pm tomorrow so we can look like we are tired but its just the heat." (it was already 4)
"Ya ok do we need a script?" Archie asked
"Oooooh I am very good at acting posing is my strong point...." Neil raved
"All right how about 2:30 on the curb of Schakal Street" Harry decided.
"Ok!" everyone agreed.

New Orleans-based, funk-infused jam band Galactic is in Lawrence, Kan., when lead vocalist Corey Glover (of Living Colour fame) calls and reports that the band covets the warmer climes of California.
Galactic's "Freeze Out" tour has taken it from its annual all-night Mardi Gras party at legendary NOLA club Tipitina's through the ice tray known as the Midwest.
The band will be in the Golden State soon enough: Galactic plays Harlow's nightclub on Tuesday night.
The band, formed in 1984, performs and records as a high-energy quintet with a wide array of visiting musicians and musical influences, and Brooklyn-bornGlover has been the main guest vocalist since 2010.
Glover, 48, started singing at age 6 in church and school choirs. In 1985, the aspiring actor and musician was asked to sing "Happy Birthday" at a friend's party. Guitarist Vernon Reid was there and drafted him into Living Colour, which evolved into the Grammy Award-winning African American rock band whose debut 1988 album "Vivid" went multiplatinum.
Glover's acting résumé includes roles in Oliver Stones' "Platoon" and on stage in "Jesus Christ Superstar." He has recorded solo albums and will be at the Fillmore in San Francisco in March as part of Living Colour's tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of "Vivid," which that band will play in its sequential entirety, beginning with the hit "Cult of Personality."
How did a Brooklyn rocker wind up in a funk-jazz New Orleans band?
The whole thing with Galactic is we have mutual friends, mutual interests. We all like the same kind of music and it just manifests itself in many different ways.
I watched a video of you and the band covering Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times." Does Galactic do any Living Colour tunes?
We do a few, but for the most (part) we're doing Galactic (material).
For your 2012 solo album "The Pledge" you used crowd sourcing via the PledgeMusic site. How did that work out?
Excellently. Part of what they do is give a portion of proceeds to charitable organizations Doctors Without Borders, Wildlife Fund but I decided to give it to one I worked with more than once, called NY2NO (the New York 2 New Orleans Coalition).
What was it like sharing a foxhole with Charlie Sheen in 1986's "Platoon"?
It was three months of my life that I'll never forget. Johnny Depp. Forest Whitaker. They were also in the foxhole with me.
Because of your acting, many people thought you were Danny Glover's son. You're not, but do people still ask you about that ?
Absolutely. If your name is Glover, I guess that's what you're going to get. Maybe I should have changed my name.
A few years ago, you played Judas in a national tour of "Jesus Christ Superstar." Did you build up a lot of bad karma betraying Jesus eight to 10 times a week for nearly two years?
No, no, no. That show is, like, my favorite. Part of the reason I wanted to sing rock music was from seeing "Jesus Christ Superstar" and Carl Anderson doing what he does in it.
For Living Colour's "Vivid" 25th anniversary tour, are you going to break out the neon wet suit from the "Cult of Personality" video?
I doubt it. It's way back in my closet. I don't know if I can move back all that stuff to get it.
When that video came out, your hair received a lot of attention. Do you miss your dreadlocks?
No. When I first decided to do that to my hair, it was an effort to hide. Like, if I'm not doing this well enough I'm not confident enough I could always hide behind my hair. Seriously. When I got rid of it all, it was a sign of acceptance of myself, more than anything else.
Nothing says acceptance quite like being included in a popular video game. Have you ever played "Cult of Personality" on "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock"?
How did you do?
I suck at it. Really.
When: 9 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Harlow's Restaurant and Nightclub, 2708 J St., Sacramento

Let Us Eat During Labor, Dammit!
New research gives moms hope.
Sick of ice chips during labor? A new study found that women who had something to eat or drink during labor were at NO increased risk of complications.
"There were no increased inductions -- no increased rate of C-sections or any other complications," Dr. Holly Phillips told "The Early Show." "I think a lot of women would welcome the opportunity to have something to eat or drink during labor, because I think it's called labor for a reason. It's hard work. You need fuel to get through the hard work."
The American College of Gynecologists say clear liquids -- such as sports drinks, water, and fruit juice -- are fine during labor. Some doctors allow popsicles or Jell-O.
Would YOU like to chow down during labor?
I always thought it was to keep the stomach clear so that if you have to go in for a c-section you don't have to worry about throwing up and so forth. Who knows. I wasn't hungry until right after birth, never during it though.
I was induced at 630am and had my daughter at 330pm and wasnt allowed any food. I was sooo hungry! I would have loved just a bit of a snack atleast. Next time I know to eat before i go.
I was in labor for 26 hours. I wasn't so much hungry as I was thirty the whole time. It was the first time I ever had apple juice and man I LOVED it.
I was wondering who in the world would want to eat while in labor. But I guess if your labor is long and are comfortable you probably would want food. I wouldn't know because my longest labor was four hours and no pain meds because there wasn't time.
My water broke at 10:30 AM. My son was born at 3:33 AM. I hadn't eaten since dinner the night before my water broke. 33 hours without solid food. Then they couldn't get me anything except jello until the cafeteria opened for the morning. At which point they had to "find" an extra tray.
i went into labor at 330am and didn't have my son until 5pm (c-section)- you can't eat until 6 hours after your c-section. i was STARVED since i hadn't eaten since dinner the night before. you better believe at 11pm that night i sent my husband to get me a sub, the following morning i found out i was supposed to be on a clear food diet for 24 hours…oops, and OH WELL! for the record, they did give me gatorade during labor and i threw it up.
I would have LOVED to eat when I was in labor! I was sooo hungry. They told me I couldn't eat until I had her…I was determined to get some food…when it came time to push it took me all of 13 minutes to get her out hahaha.
I thought the purpose of not eating during labor was to avoid throwing it up or otherwise voiding it.
I wanted NOTHING to do with food…and that was even after having nothing to eat for over 24 hours (9pm cutoff but I think I ate nothing after dinner at 6, 6 am induction, son born at 9 pm), until after my son was born.
With my first child I was induced at 5pm on a friday and didn't go into active labor until 6am Sat morning (baby was actually born at 11am) but they let me eat in between. Once I started active labor, I would barf everytime I had a contraction or had to push. With my second one I had a scheduled c-section so I couldn't eat after midnight the night before. Wasn't too bad considering my c-section was at 8am but I was deffinately starving by the time my c-section was over.

This uncontrolled disposal of raw sewage into Pittsburgh's rivers did not stop until 1958 when the Allegheny Sanitary Authority opened up it's sewage
treatment plant. If it's something like a flood there is no small repair for the
floor. Because of the speed that mold can grow, especially when temperatures are
warmer, fast action is critical.

One useful application of tracking the shoppers movement throughout the store is to identify if items can be rearranged in such a way as to save the shopper time. Although I believe, for example, grocery store items are placed in categories, it might be interesting to learn if there is a better placement of categories of items next to other categories.

Ultimate question: Why anything at all?
View Single Post
Feb26-12, 01:41 AM
Quote by
The issue of spontaneous vs purposeful action is in fact very on point when it comes to "why anything" cosmogenesis.
The world seems full of spontaneous happenings. Quantum fluctuations for a start.
The reductionist model of causality finds them difficult to explain.
Doesn't the word
refer to unpredictable events? Aren't they called spontaneous because we can't predict or precisely explain them? Nevertheless, even so called spontaneous events are differentiated wrt, and predictable within certain bounds, wrt certain antecedent conditions, even wrt quantum experiments.
Quote by
If every event must have a prior cause, then nothing can be chance, everything must be determined. Spontaneity would have to be an illusion due to our lack of knowledge of the "hidden variables".
Determinism is an assumption. If one assumes it, then lack of explanatory or predictive ability is due to ignorance.
The assumption of indeterminacy doesn't seem to fit with our observations of the basically orderly, and predictable, evolution of the world, the universe.
Quote by
But a systems model of causality puts it the other way round. The difficult lies more in preventing spontaneity.
The presumption is that reality begins with a potential - a set of degrees of freedom.
And then constraints are imposed on this generalised freedom so as to limit its actions to more determinate paths.
Degrees of freedom wrt what? Where do the constraints come from?
In a certain view, it (everything, anything) starts with (is ultimately attributable to) a fundamental wave dynamic ... something that the behavior of any and all disturbances in any and all media at any scale have in common.
This fundamental wave dynamic
is what constrains
the evolution of the whole and determines the emergence of discernibly bounded systems (ie., particles and objects).
Quote by
Dynamism begins unbound, going off in all directions (and so failing to show any particular direction). Constraints then organise this world so that the intrinsic spontaneity is channeled. It is still fundamentally there, but starts to behave in predictable fashion.
In a certain view, a fundamental dynamics determines the bounds and possible evolution. Spontaneity isn't, in this view, intrinsic or fundamental. It just refers to our ignorance.
Why not assume a fundamental wave dynamic and see where it leads?
And by the way thanks for your and others' replies to my previous questions/comments.

SNELLVILLE -- Gwinnett Firefighters responded to a vacant house fire in the 4600 block of Bridle Point Parkway in Snellville on Friday afternoon.
The blaze was under control within 10 minutes of the firefighters' arrival, at 4:24 p.m. Gwinnett Fire Lt. Colin Rhoden said neighbors told them the house had been vacant, and firefighters entered through the back door.
"The second floor was burned through and was falling through to the first floor," Rhoden said. "The entire house was filled with smoke from the fire."
Rhoden said firefighters had to be careful because the floor collapsed, but they checked the home twice.
No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation, Rhoden said.

The nice neighborhood place. Taken for granted, it deserves odes and encomiums. Who is there for you the way your local is? Who makes you dinner, is kind to you at the end of the day, offers a glass of wine and a comfortable booth? Your nice neighborhood place takes care of you and your family. It is a relationship that requires little maintenance yet rolls together some of the benefits of a spouse, a nanny, and a therapist.
Farmstead Table opened in Newton Centre in August, across from the train station, and it instantly became the new nice neighborhood place. For quite a lot of people. Trouble is, it is better than it is big. Ever had to tangle for reservations in Newton in the middle of the week before? To eat here, one must plan in advance.

Some evidence that puffed grains have higher nutrient accessibility -puffed grain nutrient absorption -GoogleScholar http://bit.ly/1rmievE My current favorite is organic puffed kamut. I add some frozen berries, which should help further with the nutrient absorption. Liquid yogurt with live cultures would be a good addition, tho I prefer soy milk. I'd also recommend including wood mushrooms in the diet.
You might have to pay a little more for wood mushrooms, but they are likely worth the extra money to get access to more healthful tannins.

I add some frozen berries, which should help further with the nutrient absorption. Liquid yogurt with live cultures would be a good addition, tho I prefer soy milk. I'd also recommend including wood mushrooms in the diet.
I grabbed the following information from my Amazon Seafood Wishlist, because I thought that it deserved more visibiltiy. The healthful benefits of seafood are widely noted. I am searching for seafood which is low in mercury, high in DHA, and high in astaxanthin, and found that red salmon fills the bill. DHA is one of the beneficial unsaturated omega 3 fatty acids, which is already widely known for its healthful benefits, and sure to be rising in prominence as well. Caviar is probably one of the best sources of DHA, far and away, and the red variety is also likely rich in astaxanthin, while the black variety is rich in melanin compounds, which are also likely to be healthful. One must be wary however of the food colorings that are used to produce the color in less expensive caviar. Due caution, and more information is needed. I have written an Amazon Guide about this. I am looking for inexpensive caviar that is also low in food coloring. See the wishlist for some examples. There are additional notes about some of the inexpensive caviars in the images section. I am projecting that the simple unprocessed salmon roe will be the best. Astaxanthin is a carotene-like nutrient that is only available from red fish and certain shell fishes, such as shrimp. I have been told that shrimp are fed to fish in order to deepen their beneficial redness. Sodium salt is a problem with seafood, but the benefits probably outweigh this problem, especially if you eliminate salt from other parts of your diet. Sodium is a particular problem for caviar, and it is probably unwise to eat unrinsed caviar. Better than rinsing, desalt the caviar. The eggs desalt rapidly because of their small size, and it improves the taste considerably. Don't use too much water though, because it will leach out the DHA. Just add enough water to cover over the eggs, stir gently to break up the clumps, let stand for a few minutes, then drain and rinse. Enjoy your caviar and salmon!One more thing for Weight Loss Vitacosters, I have found that substituting red salmon and citrus fruits for calorie dense foods has reduced my hunger pangs considerably. Clearly, the salmon can be expected to be very satisfying. I have lost several pounds as a result of this change. I restrict the salmon to a heaping tablespoonful per meal, twice per day, which still provides a substantial amount of the mentioned nutrients.Regards,

|I thought that the Vitacost community might be interested in the latest snippet from the Molecules site news, featuring Vitacost and this blog.
For those who are following the activism aspect of the Molecules site, I thought that you might be interested in a little pre-history as it were. Prior to the founding of the Molecules site, the activism first hatched under the GNU-Darwin umbrella, and the fundamental idea of molecules activism was invented. Initially, it was concerned primarily with resveratrol and other caloric restriction memetics, but it was clearly bound to expand from there. You can read some of the early material in the GNU-Darwin Posts regarding resveratrol and calorie restriction. As was previously mentioned, the ideas were formally developed in the FOSS, Science, and Public activism essay, and it was even put forth as a war protest in the so-called bootstrapping essay. As the Molecules site developed, it became clear that additional adjunct activities were required in order to push the activism harder. One of these adjuncts was created on the Vitacost website, where it is easy to provide directed links to crucial molecules for those who want to obtain them for themselves. Moreover, the activism ideas continue to evolve there in blog format. Check it out: Michael L. Love proclus Blog on Vitacost.
Tonight I found some very satisfying news related to all of this. One of the last few GNU-Darwin posts regarding resveratrol and caloric restriction referred to the very high anthocyanin content of the forbidden Thai black rice. You can read about that in the link above. At the time that I wrote the post there was virtually no product development around the black rice, but now I am happy to learn that there are many such products. Several can be found on the Vitacost website. Obviously, I cannot take any credit for this marvellous development, but the success is consistent with the activism ideas that I have been developing. There are many examples of such successes, some of them are documented in a free software activism article that I wrote several years ago. The implications are pretty far reaching. For more examples, check out this page on GNU-Darwin, or the links page and personal page of this blog. We also should consider the possibility that thinking in similar veins together makes great minds out of us. Of course the internet itself seems pre-designed for that sort of activism. Cheers!

Michael L. Love: On value and money, molecules activism
Molecules activism could be viewed as the promotion of uncommon knowledge of commonplace things. The aspirin, the parsley, citrus fruits, all of which are commonplace things, readily in view and at hand. They all have little known properties which are highly valuable, although perhaps not in the shallow sense of monetary value. Common nuts, roots, and berries, which are sometimes valued little above the dirt that they sprout from, have unknown riches inside of them, not necessarily monetary wealth, but richness of health and strength. Such power is clearly not beyond our grasp, but it is merely unknown to us. We must establish such knowledge.
Table salt is a much derided molecule, but it has been indispensible for its ability to preserve food, a little known property perhaps. The economic impact may be small and ambiguous, but it has arguably saved countless of the lives of our very forebearers. That is wealth that transcends money. Similar things could be said about other commonplace minerals and chemicals. such as; bleach, lime, and even oxygen, all of which have many important uses beyond the commonplace ones, and properties beyond those which are commonly known.
Similar things could also be said of many ordinary spices; cinnamon, dill seeds, fennel, thyme, and common vegetables, such as tomatoes, and olives, as well as fruits, such as grapes. Many of these have preservative properties, but also they preserve life itself or increase our intellectual faculties, a vast and extraordinary richness indeed, beside which money is worth very little!
Some will brush this argument aside saying that everything I have referred to costs money, and sufficient money will get you any of it. Although this is a commonplace sentiment, it is also widely recognized as a foolish one. Moreover, such arguments are made by people who would like to diminuate the value of our very lives, which is rightly a subject of much outrage. I say that money cannot possibly be compared in value to things like life, intelligence, and posterity.
It is clear that there are riches unbeknownst to us at our very fingertips, and ever before our eyes. It also becomes obvious that the withholding of such knowledge is akin to a crime, and there are those of us in the movement who believe that the release of such knowledge should be MANDATORY. At least, those of us who are engaged in molecules activism will be doing our part to make such knowledge public, by the establishment of prior art, by publishing such knowledge, and by affixing it to the public common. Examples are many and growing, and they include this blog and the Molecules site. We will be generating more and more.Share |
