Obama Right to Fire McChrystal
Columnist had wrong take
© Steven J. Paske, 2010
Chapman wrong on McChrystal's canning
In a recent column for the Chicago Tribune, columnist Steve Chapman attempts to convince readers that President Obama was wrong for firing General Stanley McChrystal over comments the general made in Rolling Stone magazine. It is rationalizations like that demonstrated in this column of Chapman's that causes me deep concern for our country's future. President Obama made the right decision, the only decision he could make.
In an otherwise stellar army career
that began as a
General McChrystal's ill-advised
public airing of critical comments on the Obama Administration in Rolling Stone
magazine wasn't his first lapse in judgment. McChrystal was actively involved
in covering up the death of soldier and former NFL player Pat Tillman's death
by fratricide in
column attempts to use President Lincoln's relationships with Generals
McClellan and Hooker as an excuse for President Obama to retain McChrystal.
What Chapman fails to mention is that
The evidence represented by the actions of two previous presidents separated by almost a century of American life would indicate to me that a timeless truth is in the making. Like McClellan, Hooker and MacArthur before him, McChrystal overstepped his commission and needed to be called to task for it.
On paper Chapman sounds like an intelligent guy, a Harvard grad like Obama along with numerous other achievements. What I don't see in his bio, however, is anything that makes him an authority at any level on military matters. His credentials appear devoid of any training or experience that give his voice authority when discussing the constitutional role military generals play opposite the civilian Commander in Chief.
President Obama has the Joint
Chiefs of Staff to guide him in making sound decisions as they relate to
military affairs. Central Command will survive without the service of General
Petraeus, himself a West Pointer, as he heads to
The United States Military Academy at West Point states that two of the 1st Class objectives of its Professional Military Ethic Education program are 1) "Understand and demonstrate loyalty to the Constitution, the Army, the unit, superiors, subordinates, comrades, and self." and 2) "Epitomize humility, self-awareness, respect for others and selfless service." McChrystal grossly violated these principles not just once but in fact was beginning to exhibit a habit of violating these principles. Once the line separating right from wrong has been crossed it gets easier and easier to justify one's actions by claiming they are legitimate. Ignoring the usurping of civilian control of the military is dangerous territory that must be defended against all incursions.
As Chapman
states in his column, General McChrystal may have been the right choice to
prosecute the war in
Finally, Chapman's column didn't reference a single source that supported the position of leaving McChrystal in command and history is clearly not on his side on this issue. McChrystal needed to go. Lincoln and Truman got it right in their day, and so, too, did Obama.

I hear you! I've been an avid angler from the moment I started and I have yet to get either the rat or the turtle. If there was any justice in the world I'd have 'em for the amount of time I've spent fishing. Ah well, that's the way of random numbers.
I have real fear about winning either of the fishing tournies for two reasons. First, they seem to be set at times to completely mess with my work life. Second, I'm on a pvp server and it seems to be the way of things that the other faction will make it their personal responsibility to mess w/ ya. ;) I understand this. I'll still try sometime.
Rogues - seriously, does it really behove you to camp fishing spots? Really? Have you NO SOUL? Oh wait - rogue - of course. ;-p

The water feature in the Rain Forest is a memory of Gloria Moore, which was made possible by designated contributions by members, volunteers, family, and friends of Gloria. The water feature idea was developed by Sam Comer, HBG Board member and was built by Florida Falls.
Gloria was 1 of the "Band of 5" that founded Heathcote Botanical Gardens. After her passing in October of 2011, contributions began to come in and requests for a special memorial. Also, the Osteen Foundation through the Rotary Club of Fort Pierce donated $5,000 to the memorial. We are thankful for all the generosity and kindness from these folks whose passion was to leave a lasting memorial to "Our Founding Mother, Gloria Moore."

Methods used at Heathcote to create a Florida Friendly Landscape and
Conserve Water, Decreasing Watershed
To conserve water Heathcote has three gardens that are irrigated by a drip irrigation system. Most of our annual beds and containers are watered by hand. We also use sprinkler control panels that water between midnight and 4:00AM, which have rain sensors that control over watering during rainy times.
The Garden is mulched with recycled tree mulch that does not contain material from native trees. The mulching of beds conserves water by providing a moist layer adjacent to the soil.
At Heathcote we have two native plant gardens. The plants in these areas are all native to Florida and have minimal watering requirements.
The full sun native area is on the west side of the Pioneer Field. In this area you will find the following natives that like full sun:
Gaillardia, Blue Porterweed, False Rosemary, Wild Pennyroyal, Necklace Pod, Cocoplum, Dahoon Holly, Slash Pine, Simpson Stopper, Sabal Palm, as well as the vines Coarl Honeysuckle and Carolina Yellow Jessamine.
The part sun native area and Butterfly Garden have the following Florida native plants:
Autograph Tree, White Indigoberry, Bloodberry, Locustberry, White Stopper, Jamaica Caper, Coral Bean, Wild Coffee, Beauty Berry, Goldenrod, Lizard's Tail, Blue-Eyed Grass, Beach Sunflower, Yellowtop, and Coreopsis.

Get More Energy for Aerobic Workouts and BodyBuilding
Get More Energy for Aerobic Workouts and BodyBuilding
Aerobic workouts help individuals keep their bodies healthy, lose weight and tone muscles. There are many levels of aerobic workouts ranging from beginner to expert. All exercise requires energy and keeping the needed amount of required energy helps to perform the aerobic exercise and reduce feeling sore the next day.
Foods That are Good Energy for Aerobic Workouts
Food digests at different rates and to have a good workout, food should be out of the stomach prior to exercising. Carbohydrates are easily and quickly digested, offering a good source of energy before a workout. Larger meals and proteins take longer to digest, about four to six hours, and should not be consumed prior to an aerobic workout.
For intense workouts and aerobic exercises, eating should be avoided two hours prior to engaging in the activity. Light snacks only take 30 minutes to one hour to digest and are a good source of energy prior to a heavy workout.
Light snacks providing good energy are:
Milk with crackers and peanut butter
A Banana and some yogurt
Juice and some pretzels
A Sports bar and glass of water
Fresh fruits
Clear soups and consommés
A Muffin and glass of milk
Energy Drinks to Have Before Your Aerobic Workout
Energy drinks often have lots of sugar and caffeine which gives a boost of energy but not long lasting energy. The first energy drink was released in 1962 in Japan. The drink was called Liptvitan D and its main ingredient was taurine, an ingredient found in energy drinks today.
Other common ingredients in energy drinks are:
: a stimulant
natural amino acid regulating heart beat and muscle contractions
: Reduces stress and increases energy
: converts sugar into energy
Guarana seed
: a stimulant
: metabolizes fatty acids
: gives energy for muscle contractions
: relays messages within cells of body
Ginkgo biloba
: memory enhancer
Energy drinks claim to give long lasting energy and stamina but not all ingredients have medical data backing up these claims. Over use of energy drinks are potentially dangerous and even fatal in some cases. An 18-year-old athlete died in 2000 after he drank four cans of Red Bull before a game. As a result, France banned Red Bull while other countries put warnings on the products.
Taking Supplements For Energy When You Do Aerobic Workouts
Taking supplements before a workout is another way of gaining some energy and stamina. Like the energy drinks, there is not enough medical evidence to back up all the claims. Supplements come in pill, powder or liquid forms.
Stimulants are often found in supplements and offer a fast, quick boost of energy that is usually short – lived.
Increasing the oxygen supply at the cellular level helps the muscles avoid fatigue and pain. Some supplements are designed to provide extra oxygen to the cells, allowing a longer and more comfortable workout.
Another popular ingredient found in supplements is Creatine. Discovered in 1826, Creatine was finally recognized as a contributor in bodybuilding in 1926.
The Journal of Biological Chemistry
published the effects of creatine on muscle mass in their 1926 publication.
Drinks Lots of Water When Exercising
Staying hydrated during a workout will provide more energy, increase fat metabolism and offer cardiac support. Water also helps to turn adenosine triphosphate into adenosine diphosphate, which is essential for muscle contraction. Dehydration during a workout leads to muscle fatigue and cramps.
Intense Stretching Not Recommended Before Aerobic Workout
Stretching before a workout is no longer recommended and according to Maria Cheung, a medical writer for the Associated Press, injury may result when stretching prior to a workout. It is recommended to limber-up lightly before a workout by doing some easy jogging or kicking a soccer ball. Too much stretching can result in fatigue and cause muscles to tense up.

Shanghai Guide: From Airport to City Center
If you're coming to Shanghai, you'll most likely be arriving through Pudong International Airport (PVG). Located 30 km east of downtown, it took over most international flights from the older Hongqiao Airport (SHA) when it first opened in 1999. It is big, it is modern, and the architecture is, uh, big and modern.
It is also remarkably unremarkable.
You really do not want to hang out there.
Yes, you'd think such a cosmopolitan first-tier city like Shanghai would have an impressively cosmopolitan airport like Hong Kong's, filled with name-brand shopping and palatable dining options for the legions of travelers passing through each day, but as far as major international airports go, Shanghai's PVG sucks (so does Beijing, but that's a story the Imagethief tells best). Get past immigration, head for the exits, and make your way to downtown Shanghai, where it is far more interesting.
If you're foreign to Shanghai, and no one was sent to pick you up, there are three common methods for getting from the airport into the city center, which is where you're most likely headed. Each of these options are detailed below, with pros, cons, instructions, and some useful tips.
Method 1: Taxi
Why: Convenience. Unless there is a long line of people waiting to get taxis, this is your option for door to door service, and especially useful if you have a ton of luggage. The major drawback will be the cost, and the risk of dishonest drivers intentionally taking a less-than-direct route from the airport to your stated destination. Unfortunately, this risk gets higher the more foreign you appear and the less familiar you are with Shanghai's roads/geography.
Typical rates during the day to the Puxi side of downtown Shanghai will be around 150-170 RMB. To the Pudong side, around 100-130 RMB. As long as you're certain your destination is in the city center, you should get worried if the fare hits 200. A vein on your forehead should pop if you see 300.
When: Anytime. Note that fare rates will be higher at night, from 11:00pm to 5:00am.
How: Look for signs as you exit the terminal. Taxis will typically wait for passengers by the curbside, you can't miss them. Grab an empty taxi, load up your luggage, have a seat, and tell the driver where you'd like to go. Having the destination written down or printed out, especially in Chinese, often helps, but the driver should recognize most major hotels or city streets. Switch taxis if they claim they don't. It isn't worth the hassle.
Sit in the back if you want to feel important. Sit in the front for a better view of where you're going. The front seat may also give you a slight psychological edge with regards to keeping the driver honest. You can keep an eye on the fare meter and the see the freeway/road signs more clearly. Even with the protective plastic cage around the driver, you could also theoretically reach around and choke the bastard if he's messing with you.
Method 2: Shanghai MagLev (then Metro or Taxi)
Why: Fast. Sorta. The airport is located quite a ways from downtown Shanghai, approximately 45 minutes from city center without too much traffic. The MagLev will get you from the airport to the Longyang Road MagLev/Metro station on the Pudong side of downtown Shanghai in as little as seven minutes. A taxi would take about 30 minutes for the same trip. The problem is, sometimes you have to wait for the train and you need to walk between transfers, both of which take additional time.
However, riding the MagLev has novelty value. It floats on magnets and is, like, really fast. It also costs about as much as a taxi for covering the same distance. More importantly, it at least gets you from the airport to Pudong without the risk of taxi driver shenanigans. Once you reach the Longyang Road station in Pudong, you have the option of transferring to the Shanghai Metro subway system or switching to a taxi.
Transferring to the metro system can help you get closer to your destination cheaply, leaving any necessary taxi ride to cover the remaining distance between the metro stop and your goal costing only 11-20 RMB. Your total trip shouldn't cost more than 55-80 RMB, and you didn't have to worry about getting ripped off. If you have a lot of luggage, however, you would've had to carry/drag it to the MagLev, off the MagLev, through the subway station, onto the subway, through any subway transfers, out the subway station, and maybe onto a taxi. If you don't have a lot of crap or you're a rugged individual, you're golden.
Switching to a taxi directly at Longyang Road Station would usually be fine if you're destination is within the Pudong side of downtown. Just be aware that there are shady taxi drivers waiting at Longyang Road Station also, since there are enough gullible foreigners coming out of the MagLev for them to still take advantage of. Fortunately, the city sometimes posts someone at the taxi queue to advise foreigners on how much you should expect to pay to get where you're going. Regardless, your total trip shouldn't cost more than around 70-100 RMB.
When: MagLev operates between 6:45am to 9:32pm, at 15-20 minute intervals. The Shanghai Metro typically operates between 5:30am to 11:00pm, depending on the line.
How: The MagLev station is located directly in the middle between Terminals 1 and 2, which you can walk to via several long indoor corridors. If you see the KFC, you've reached the Airport station, so enter opposite the KFC and purchase your ticket. One-way will be 50 RMB, or 40 RMB if you can show them your airline ticket. Once you're in the MagLev train, stow your luggage, and prepare for, uh, a really fast train ride.
The MagLev will reach peak speeds of 430 km/hr during most of the day while the early morning and late evening trains only go up to 300 km/hr, ostensibly to conserve power. Again, the ride will be over in as short as seven minutes. It isn't much time to enjoy the scenery, but highlights include the the train banking as it turns and first-time passengers getting the shit scared out of them as the train passes the other train going the other direction. Boom.
Once you get to Longyang Road Station, decide if you want to transfer to the Metro or take a taxi to continue to your destination.
If Metro, follow the signs, go down the escalators, and cross over to the Line 2 Metro station of the same name. The Line 2 subway goes East-West across Shanghai, with interchanges for Lines 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8 (basically everything). UrbanRail.net has a useful subway map here. Depending on where you want to go in the system, fare will cost you 3-6 RMB. You can purchase your metro ticket at one of the ticket vending machines (which have English) or from a nice ticketing person located behind some glass in a booth nearby.
If taxi, follow the signs, go down the escalator, and look for the taxi queue.
Method 3: Airport Shuttle Bus (then Taxi)
Why: Cheap. The airport shuttle bus system will only cost you 15-30 RMB to get you to most major destinations in the city center. This is what the vast majority of the locals use. It may be the slowest option, but honestly not by much. Like riding a taxi, you get a much more scenic route entering downtown Shanghai on surface streets. Unlike riding the taxi, you avoid the risk of getting ripped off, which would be the "scenic route" you don't want to take. Once you reach the stop nearest where you want to go, you can always hop into a taxi for the last leg of your journey. All told, using the shuttle bus will be approximately 60-75% cheaper than using a taxi only, and you got a chance to make new friends. Everyone wants friends. If your destination is in the city center and you choose the right bus line to take, your total trip should only cost about 30-50 RMB.
When: Operates from 7:00 am to 11:00pm.
How: As you exit the terminal and into the main arrival reception area, look for signs directing you towards the airport shuttle buses. You will exit and likely see several buses waiting at the curb, each with a different number. There should be a large sign and map along the wall that details the route of each bus line, including their stops. More information can be found here. If you're uncertain, you can ask for assistance at a nearby ticketing window. There should also be someone standing in front of each bus whom you can try asking. Don't expect perfect, if any, English.
If you're transferring directly to Hongqiao Airport, you'll want Line 1. I don't know where you're going, but Shanghai will miss you. For everyone else arriving for the main attraction, you'll probably be using Lines 2-8 depending on where your destination is in the city center.
Don't worry about buying a ticket just yet. Just find the right bus line to hop on. Only after the bus begins moving will someone come by to collect fare. Your fare will be based on what stop you want. Once you get to your stop, hop off and don't forget your luggage. If you need to, hail a taxi to complete your journey.
And there you have it…
I personally usually use method 2 or 3, depending on whether the MagLev is operating or not when I need to get to or get away from PVG. Having lived in Shanghai for quite some time, I know the city's layout fairly well. Not only does this help me avoid getting ripped off by sneaky taxi drivers, it's also why I feel perfectly comfortable and even prefer using methods 2 and 3 to not even have to deal with airport taxis at all.
Unfortunately, if you're new to Shanghai, you may not enjoy the same confidence I do. Taxis are tempting for the convenience they offer, especially when you don't know your way around a big, unknown city. There certainly are honest taxi drivers, but I've heard too many horror stories. I don't want your first experience in Shanghai to give you such a poor impression of what is otherwise a fascinating metropolis with plenty of positive things to share. My advice is to jump in and start learning the other forms of transportation, because they're part of Shanghai's splendor too.
Good luck and welcome to Shanghai.

Investigators in the US state of Arkansas are looking into a mysterious beginning to 2011. Thousands of birds fell from the sky on New Year's Eve, in a one-mile area near the town Beebe. Some experts believe the birds were frightened by loud noises and celebratory fireworks, causing them to become confused, fly into buildings and other obstacles, and fall to their deaths. Other observers, prone to conspiracy theories, have suggested it could be the result of secret government testing.
Making the situation even more bizarre is the news that thousands of dead fish were found floating in the Arkansas River.

A Resurrection Cross
May 6, 2004
A Resurrection Cross
Fifth Avenue was unusually crowded for a Tuesday morning in March some eight years ago. I had taken a train from Stamford, Conn., to Grand Central Station and was making my way uptown for a meeting in Rockefeller Center. It was my plan to detour at 46th Street, where I hoped to find an artisan to repair my pectoral cross.
The cross had been given to me by seminarians on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of my consecration as a bishop. It was made of gilded silver and embossed with an image of the crucified Lord vested as a priest, with his right hand raised in blessing. Hidden in the back of the cross was a little chamber containing a tiny sliver from the true cross which, St. Helen, the mother of the first Christian emperor, Constantine, had brought to Rome from the Holy Land in the fourth century after Christ. As a result of frequent openings and closings to show the relic to various groups, the cover of the chamber had come loose.
Forty-sixth Street seemed to be the logical place to find someone ready and able to repair the cross. As I turned off Fifth Avenue, peering into several stores selling gold and silver, I finally spied a likely candidate. He was seated in a booth close to the store window, meticulously repairing a gold pendant with the help of miniature binoculars attached to his eyeglasses. I entered the store with confidence.
The man in the window gestured toward a woman in the booth immediately next to his.
"Can I help you?" she inquired.
"Yes," I replied. "I need to have this little cover reattached."
The woman took my cross into her hands and examined it carefully.
"How strange!" she exclaimed in a heavily accented voice. "Usually the Holy Lord on the cross is naked and suffering. Why is He this way on your cross?"
"Well," I began, somewhat taken aback, "this represents the Lord after His resurrection from the dead, when He had ascended into heaven to be with His Eternal Father."
My response had a rather academic sound. As I went on, I struggled to do better.
"Both representations are proper," I explained. "The usual one reminds us that the Son of God died a terrible death on Calvary, and this one emphasizes that He rose from the dead and awaits our resurrection after we die."
"Lovely!" the woman gasped. "Lovely, lovely!"
With that she turned to the man in the back of her booth whom I had not noticed up to that moment. He was quite short with thick eyeglasses and raven-black hair. The two of them spoke together at some length in a language that I was not able to identify. All the while, they were passing the pectoral cross back and forth, at times studying the image of the Lord up close, at times admiring it at arm's length. Finally, the woman turned to me.
"We think your cross most beautiful," she declared. "We both believe in the Holy Lord and hope to live with Him in heaven. We much love the lesson of your cross."
The man interrupted and, in an English considerably less fluent than the woman's, announced, "Our friend in the next booth is being happy to repair your cross. A piece of silver needs to be added on. We charge only for the silver. No more. No more."
The friend in the booth closest to the window removed his miniature binoculars. Until then he had not seemed to be following our conversation. Suddenly, however, he came alive. "Let me see the Lord in heaven cross," he pleaded. "Ah, most beautiful. I too believe we will be raised up to heaven with the Lord if we be good." He hesitated slightly and added in a whisper, "Pray for me, priest."
The woman thrust into my hand a calling card on the back of which she had printed: "Raised from dead cross. March 5th. Pickup: 3 o'clock.
At 3:30 I was back in the store on 46th Street. The man with the thick eyeglasses and raven-black hair greeted me warmly and invited me to be seated on a tall stool in front of his booth. "Our friend has repaired the cross," he reported. "He took it down the street to be specially polished. He wants it to be perfect."
"I want it to be perfect too," echoed the woman who had given me the calling card. She was seated in the rear of the booth. "I showed it to everyone who came into the store and even to the men working in the back," she proclaimed. "I told them what this lovely cross means. I told them that the Holy Lord is raised from the dead. I told them He is waiting in heaven for all of us. I told them everything, everything."
While she was speaking, the man who was to do the repair work entered the store. With a bit of drama, he laid the pectoral cross on the counter. It had been wrapped in a piece of light blue flannel, and it sparkled as it had never sparkled before. "See," he cried. "Beautiful! Perfect!"
Somewhat embarrassed, I paid the woman the meager amount she requested. As she was making change, two men coming from the rear of the store passed behind me. The woman beckoned them forward. They spoke in her language. Thus, I could not understand what was being said. Each of the men, however, inspected my cross with a reverence I would not have anticipated; and when they were finished, one of them took hold of my hand to shake it lustily, while the other bowed repeatedly in my direction. The woman beamed. "See," she said. "I told everyone. I told everyone everything."
The next morning I chose the 28th chapter of the Gospel according to St. Matthew for my meditation before Mass. The story St. Matthew tells is well known. Women came to the tomb of the Lord on Easter morning. They were greeted by an angel who first informed them that the crucified Lord had been raised from the dead and then ordered them to proclaim the news far and wide. In the words of St. Matthew, the women left the angel "quickly" and "ran" to tell the Apostles and the world what they had heard. In the past I might have wondered how it was that Providence had chosen women for the monumental task of making the first announcement of the Resurrection. Now, of course, I fully understand. It all became crystal clear in a store on 46th Street one day in March.

Top food stories from Berkeley in 2011
As the year draws to a close, it's time to look back to see what food stories created a buzz around town and on Berkeleyside in 2011.
Granted, there's an arbitrary nature to such end-of-year lists. But it's an opportunity to take stock of the city's culinary culture.
For the purposes of this post we've focused on food news stories, which doesn't take into account the dozens of interviews with foragers, farmers, artisans, advocates, chefs, cooking teachers, preservers, pasta makers, cheese purveyors, pop-up restaurateurs, and farmers' market vendors we've published during 2011.
This year also saw controversial coverage of corner stores, reporting on detractors of school food, an insider's take on speed dating with a veg-friendly focus, and a widely criticized first-person piece on disappointing camp chow.
Readers may differ on what food stories caught their attention. Feel free to add your own highlights (or low points) in the comments section.

About the Pictures Image Gallery
A longboard is essentially a surfboard with wheels. Over time they have changed shape. They are most commonly used for cruising, downhill racing, slalom racing, or transportation. Longboards can be shaped in various different ways, depending on the type of riding intended. Their greater weight and bulk makes them less suitable for many skateboarding tricks, but contributes to a fluid motion by providing more momentum. Longboarding is often compared to surfing on concrete, and the design allows big turns or quick short carves similar to a surfboard.

Taking care of abandoned new born kittens...IMPORTANT INFO!!
| whisperingwind29
#1 Feb 23, 2008 @ 01:28:05
Don't give up hope. I've been fostering abandoned kittens for years. If the momma cat doesnt want to have anything to do with them...it maybe because of them died or is sick and animals have a natural instinct to abandon their young if they are sick...or something is wrong in order to mantain their own energy out in the wild..instead of stressing their systems out caring for babies who might not make it anyway,..its the whole survival of the fittest theory.
Anyway, hopefully things have worked themselves out with the mama and she is now feeding them...BUT if she's not u need to go to the nearest pet store or call ur vet and get some "Kitten Replacement Milk" and a bottle and try to hand feed them. DONT give them cows milk, its too tough on their systems..and can actually kill a newborn kitten..if u have to, try to find some "goats milk" at ur local store..it should be in the condensed milk section and is found in a can.
Newborn kittens should be feed every two hours for the first two weeks and that INCLUDES at night..so set ur alarm clock..and if u can take shifts with a friend or family member it will make ur life a lot easier..so u can get a little sleep. You should let them drink as much milk at one time as they want to..let them decide..take ur cues from what they want to do.
Feed them in an upright position..their heads up, their tails down..and support them against ur chest. Don't try to feed them laying down like a baby...its too dangerous for them to accidently to choke on too much milk at one time and when that happens it can go into their lungs and cause an infection.
After they have drunk all they want to...place them against ur chest and pat their backs..burping them like u would a human baby. Its important to get any air out of their bellies that has gotten trapped their when they suck on the nipple of the bottle. Too much trapped air can cause swollen bellies and cause them a lot of pain..it can also cause a lot of pressure making them not want to eat.
Find a basket..or box..or a soft corner of the closet..if the momma wont have anything to do with them...and place a warm blacket around them..find a heating blacket..or even place a potato in the microwave for 10;00 minutes and put it in with them..Keeping them very warm is important..on average..they need to have the enviroment around them at 75..80 degrees at all times. Kittens can loose their bodies tempatures very quickly..but in general they will curl up together if all else fails and keep each other warm.
The first 2 weeks are the hardest...during that time they have a 50/50 chance of making it..after that ur usually out of the danger zone.You will need to feed them with a bottle for at least 6weeks...after the first 2 weeks u can start to feed them every 3 hours...at week 4 they should be able to go every four hours..and five...every five hours until u begin to start them on solids.
If their bellies get swollen don't panic..go to the store and buy a box of gas medicine for babies..which is liquid form. Give them one drop (their should be a dropper included in the box) of the gas medicine once a day and it should help. If their bellies don't get better..take them to the vet...but generally that is a sign that they have worms sometimes carried by the momma cat...they will need to be dewormed by the vet but that can't happen until they are a month old because the medicine is too strong for them.
I know it seems like A LOT of work and it is...but it can be done..and it can have a happy ending. And even though ur sleep deprieved its SO worth it!
Good luck and if u have any more questions or concerns..please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail through the form site or post a request for further help..put my screen name in the heading of ur message. OH YEAH...and as soon as ur mama cats milk dries up..which happens about 4 days after she stops nursing..and faster if she doesn't nurse at all because she has abandoned the babies...PLEASE I BEG U...make an apt to have her spayed!!
There are too many unwanted cats in the world already and if she isn't being a good mama the first time..chances are she will act the same way with any other litters she has...and thats just not fair to the kittens or you for that matter.
Good luck....I'll be praying for u all

Maple producers strut their sap and syrup stuff at annual tour
In Union at the Meadow View Sugarhouse, visitors lined up to sample different grades of syrup and partake of maple products such as mustards and butters, cotton candy, doughnuts and hot dogs boiled in maple syrup.
New York City resident Gina Muzio and her boyfriend, Trevor Emmons of North Berwick, Maine, toured some of the region's sugarhouses.
"This is something you don't find in the city," said Muzio.
Their favorite maple product is the maple cranberry hot/sweet mustard.
Kids touring the new "Intens-O-Fire" stainless steel wood-fired evaporator at the Sugarhouse filled up on syrup, goodies and fun facts.
"It takes 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup, said elementary school student C.J. Escalera of Concord. "It's really cool - there's a lot of machinery."
His friend, Aidan Fox-Morrill, said he was having a good time. "It's a fun family activity," said Aidan.
C.J.'s mom, Sarah Escalera, said this was the family's first time out to Meadow View Sugarhouse. "T'is the season for maple sugaring. I just like the smells," she said. Her favorite? "The maple butter is to die for."
According to New Hampshire Maple Experience website, the state's maple industry produces close to 90,000 gallons of syrup annually. Maple sugaring time in New Hampshire runs from mid-February to mid-April. The season stalled a bit this past week when cold temperatures slowed sap, but sunshine and temps in the 40s loosened up the sap by week's end.
Sap is collected from maple trees through taps into buckets or tubing systems where it is collected and then boiled down in an evaporator over a blazing hot fire. As the steam rises, the sap becomes more concentrated until it reaches the proper density to be classified as syrup, according to the website. It is then drawn from the evaporator, filtered, graded and bottled.
Sugarhouse owners Nick and Cindy Kosko recently purchased a large, wood-fired evaporator, investing $20,000 into this fuel-efficient stainless steel piece of machinery. In all, they tap approximately 100 maple trees across five acres. Cindy said they use practices that keep the trees healthy and their tubing collection system clean and in good working order.
"This is our product - we want people to trust it," she said. Maple season typically yields between 500 and 1,000 gallons of syrup for the farm.
Visitor Larry Cocarus of Rochester visited Meadow View with his wife and three grandchildren.
"The kids are having a blast," he said. "This is unbelievable," he said of the giant new evaporator.
In Brookfield at the Seabrisket Sugarbush, owners Rick Surette and D.J. Walkey entertained visitors in their maple and baked goods shop and in the steaming room where Rick manned the evaporator.
The Sugarbush has been producing maple syrup since the 1800s, said Surette. This season they are tapping about 250 trees across 60 acres.
"We get excited about this season. It shortens the winter," said Surette.
In the nearby shop, visitors Huntley Skinner and her husband, Tom Skinner, came from the Boston area to ski and partake of the Maple Weekend.
"We love the wood-stove boiled syrups; it's more flavorful. They do it the right way here," said Huntley. The couple uses syrup on oatmeal, in their coffee, and as an all-purpose sugar replacement.
"Fresh maple syrup is part of my wedding vow - my commitment to the marriage is to make sure we always have a fresh supply of New Hampshire maple syrup," she said.

I miss it actually!
I like longer hair on everyone though! But I agree with Rebecca that the scruffy, disheveled, long haired Rob is the best.
Caramella...he's one of the only guys I would say i could still kiss with that unshaven look. Who cares about sensitive facial skin when he's present!!
well.....Leanne.....I'm speechless and my hearts all aflutter with the thought of those scruffy face scratching kisses!!!!!!!!!
Joy...I look at these pics and miss it too...the one with the "moppish" swept forward surferish look....yummy, yummy, yummy
Twihards, brace yourselves, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are heading back to Vancouver and getting into their sexy vampire characters for some last minute tweaks to "Breaking Dawn: Part 2".
The director of "Breaking Dawn," Bill Condon, revealed in a letter, "Our Part Two puzzle is finally coming into full view, and in a few weeks we'll be heading back north to pick up some additional shots—the last tiny missing pieces."
I know - it's crazy isn't it!
Thank you Rebecca. I'm almost embarrassed to admit how many pictures I have stored on not one but two computers! I love sharing them. My only complaint is that I wish Rob would do some more photo shoots. He hasn't done one for a long time. I think that it's time for another Vanity Fair or GQ layout. The above shot is from GQ.
Caramella...you are so right! It's been forever since a shoot was done of him! I think with Cosmolopolis coming up and the N.American release of Bel Ami in June, He may be doing something for the cameras to keep his adoring fans appeased. He just has to...right.....right???
and yeah....I know I have many pics of Rob....but I think you have many more than me...and I must say you do have some steal-worthy beauties...like this one.

Philippines: Arrest Ex-General Accused of 'Disappearances' Palparan's Prosecution Key to Ending Impunity
(New York) – Philippine President Benigno Aquino III should order the armed forces to cooperate with civilian authorities in arresting retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan and others charged with the enforced disappearance of two activists in 2006, Human Rights Watch said today. Since the Justice Department filed charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention in December 2011, Palparan and one co-accused, Sgt. Rizal Hilario, have evaded capture, while the other two have been transferred to military custody.
"President Aquino should get the message to the military that the years of protecting Palparan for grievous abuses are over," said Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "Officers and soldiers alike should be on notice that if they block civilian authorities in arresting Palparan, they too will face legal consequences."
Human Rights Watch said that President Aquino should make it clear that anyone – inside and outside the military – who obstructs the arrests will be held accountable for protecting Palparan, who is also accused of other abuses while he was an army division commander.
Immediately after the Justice Department brought charges, the police and the National Bureau of Investigations formed "tracker teams" to arrest Palparan and Hilario and transfer them to civilian custody.
Despite a one-million peso (US$23,000) reward for Palparan's capture, civilian officials have told Human Rights Watch that they believe some military personnel and business owners, who benefitted from Palparan's campaign against the communist New People's Army, are protecting the retired general.
A group of active and retired military officials have publicly defended Palparan, denouncing what it called his "trial by publicity." The group, in a statement to the media dated December 28, also warned of "demoralization in the soldiers' ranks," pointing out that Palparan and the others are accused of abuses allegedly committed while "leading operations against the communist insurgents in Central Luzon."

ActionScript 2.0. Was it all you had hoped for and more? Yeah, I expected more as well. You have to think about it though. Macromedia cannot very easily pull drastic overhaul on its Flash player - one of the, if not the most widely distributed web plug-ins in the world. An entirely new programming environment would require a new runtime environment which would mean Flash really wouldn't be much of Flash anymore. Then the plug-in would have to basically provide two players - one for the new Flash environment and one for the classic environment. It doesn't seem like Flash is about to jump ship and [url=http://www.aftermarketperformanceparts.com/headers.html]headers[/url] in that direction just yet.
Nevertheless, ActionScript 2.0 does completely change the way you look at ActionScript. Those who were brought up on Flash are now getting a taste of the real programmer's world, while other developers migrating to ActionScript are given a much more friendly coding environment, something a little more familiar and inviting.

New top selling digital cameras update (superzooms, Coolpixies, and affordable DSLRs)
Welcome to a new edition of the on-going soap-opera that is the top selling digital cameras at Amazon.com. If you want to avoid any spoilers, jump straight to the new top selling camera charts update! Spoilers and a screen-shot teaser follow this sentence!
Goodbye Black Friday and Cyber Monday
The impact of those two days is now fading away and things return to "normal" - whatever "normal" is in this situation :)
Nikon is grabbing Coolpix market share left and right with the two L18 colors (ruby, blue) continuing to sell for under $100, the S210 down to $110, and the S60 VR falling off the $300 cliff.
Canon continues to win the superzoom wars, as the SX10is has pulled ahead of the FZ28 by five spots, but things are tightening in the "fun zoom" segment where the three TZ5 models are moving on up at the discounted price of $225.
The Canon G10 (reviews) is down to $430 again, and back in the top 20. It is running unopposed as the Lumix LX3K cannot stay in-stock for more than a few hours, so it can't build up any momentum. Meanwhile the Nikon P6000 was "ruined" at inception by whoever was the "brainiac" at NikonLand who decided to give it a half-baked RAW option, and now Nikon's only option is to keep dropping the price until it becomes bargain-enough so it gets scooped up.
Affordable DSLRs reign over mid-range and beyond
Gone are the glory days of the Canon 40D and Nikon D90 roaming in the Top 25. Now the top 25 regulars are the affordables, the two Digital Rebel XS* models (450d, 1000d) and the Nikon D40 kit which is back to $410 again.

Ohio Elections: ACORN Worker by Day, Prostitute by Night
October 31, 2008 | Filed Under 00Publius Contributor, Crime, Democrats/Leftists, Elections, News, Society/Culture, Warner Todd Huston | 3 Comments
-By Warner Todd Huston
Of course, we all know that ACORN workers are prostitutes for Barack Obama, The One, the all seeing, all knowing messiah at large.
But, whoda thunk they were also prostitutes for… well… just prostitutes? I mean Real ones?
WCPO channel 9 in Cincinnati is reporting that an ACORN worker was arrested for soliciting an undercover police officer this week. Shari Bell also had a crack pipe in her coat when police arrested her.
So, we know her night job. But what was her day job? Well, apparently she worked for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now), Barack Obama's old employer and current supporter.
Bell told police she worked for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a group that works for progress in low-income communities on issues like housing, education and voter registration, at the time of her arrest.
ACORN head organizer for Cincinnati Amy Teitelman said that Bell did work for the organization as a canvasser, going door to door for four days, but did not show up for work Wednesday, therefore she said they assumed that she had quit.
ACORN sure knows how to pick em, don't they?
Be sure and Visit my Home blog Publius' Forum. It's what's happening NOW!

The Jets revealed bad news today as they announced that QB Chad Pennington suffered a strained rotator cuff in yesterdays loss to the Bills. Jets Head Coach Herman Edwards said the QB will be out this Sunday against the Ravens he could miss 2-4 weeks. With the loss of Pennington, Quincy Carter will step in as the starter.
Pennington had a MRI today and it revealed no tears to the shoulder. The Coach said the QB has already started rehabbing the injury.
The Coach talked about the decision to take Pennington out in the fourth quarter yesterday.
We were talking on the sideline, he looked at me and I was kind of looking at him, Edwards said. We started talking and I could just look in his eyes and went Youre done, youre out, youre out. Dont worry about the team and dont worry about you right now in making sure that youre going to be okay and get a guy in there thats healthy, so we decided to put Quincy in.
The Jets know they dodged a major bullet with Pennington being out only a couple of weeks instead of the whole season. Pennington broke his wrist in preseason action last year and missed a majority of the season. This injury occured in the first quarter when Pennington scrambled for a first down and fumbled on the play. Although he was in pain, he continued to play well into the 4th quarter befor being replaced by Carter.
Pennington realizes that that injuries are part of the game.
This is part of football, Pennington said. Injuries happen in football, especially to quarterbacks because were vulnerable targets a lot of the time. Its one of those things that Ill deal with as an individual. Im positive and upbeat about it. Im still excited for our football team. I think we can be excited as a football team because were 6-2 and not 2-6 like last year. We still have an excellent opportunity to do what we want to when we look at the overall picture.
The starting QB job now belongs to Carter, who the Jets signed over the summer as a free agent from Dallas. Some questioned the signing of Carter after he was released from Dallas amid rumors he had failed a drug test and was facing suspension for violation of the leagues substance abuse policy. Edwards and the Jets gave Carter a second chance. Edwards said Carter has been a model citizen.
I talked with Quincy, we had a long discussion and I felt that he would be a good fit for us and that he could help us, Edwards said. And he was going to come in and do everything he could just to be the backup guy. He understood his role, and hes been great in practice, been great around the players, and obviously in the game.
Carter gives the Jets an experienced QB. Last year, he led the Cowboys to a 10-6 record and their first playoff appearance since 1999. Carter has worked on learning the complicated west coast offense since signing with the Jets and feels he has a good grasp on it. I am pretty comfortable with everything, Carter said. I think it is important that this football team knows we are not trying to take any steps backward. I think they know I have been working with our first team defense and running our plays so I have gotten that opportunity to show what I can do in this offense. It is all about just jelling and getting some continuity together out there on Sunday and just going from there.
Edwards said Carter did a nice job running the offense yesterday against the Bills. Hes doing fine, the HC said. Its not as elaborate as the one that Chads under, but what we ask him to do hes doing a good job, he got in the game and he knew exactly what to do.
Instead of gloom and doom, the mood in the locker room was optimistic today. Jets C Kevin Mawae is confident in Carter.
I think our team will bounce back, Mawae said. We have full confidence in Quincy playing, and well go out there and go with what weve got.
Mawae talked about what Carter brings to the table.
I think the one thing he brings a little different to our offense is his ability to run and scramble and get out of the pocket, Mawae said. I think that is another thing that other teams are going to have to worry about. He came in and showed he can run the offense and he can make some plays and he can throw the ball.
WR Justin McCareins will be one of Carters targets when the Jets throw the ball. The two have quickly become friends.
He is a good guy and has become a good friend of mine, McCareins said. He has all the ability in the world and mentally he has been focused and working hard. I think we are lucky to have him on the team.
WR Santana Moss, who had a season-best six catches for 157 yards and a touchdown, talked about Carters style of play.
Its almost like going back to Vinny (Testaverde) again because you have to make sure you look the balls in because they come fast and they come hard, Moss said.
Pennington has full confidence in Carter.
The best thing hes done is hes come in here and meshed in with our team, Pennington said. Hes studying really, really hard. Hes absorbed everything really well.
Carter said he does not have anything to prove.
I just want to go out and play well and keep up the level of play of this football team and not turn the ball over and play smart at the quarterback position, Carter said. I am just excited about the opportunity that I am getting. I have been busting my tail off for two months to learn this offense.
Edwards noted that the team cant afford to feel sorry for themselves.
You cant because no one else is going to feel sorry for you, Edwards said. The leagues not. Baltimores not. No one is going to say, oh, have a pity party for you. They will say, who is up, you cant worry about that. Were going to go play. And I expect them to play good with whoever is out there. Were going to go play and were going to go play to win a game.
Carter and the Jets turn their attention to the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens feature one of the toughest defenses in the league led by LB Ray Lewis. The Jets, who did not do a good job stopping the run yesterday against the Bills, will have to do a much better job against Ravens RB Jamaal Lewis if they want to come out victorious.
Edwards recognizes the importance of the game. Its a very, very important game for us, Edwards said. We know that, at halfway through the season, thats what we like, 6-2. We have to take it from there. We have eight games left and we can still do some good things this year and we plan on doing that. Weve got to get that going again. Weve got to get a win.
MISCELANEOUS TIDBITS: G Brandon Moore started at RG for the first time since October 17 and towards the end of the game yesterday was replaced by Jonathan Goodwin. At the end there, we just felt he had gone long enough and we were not on the field a whole lot, Edwards said. Its getting colder, cooler and he had a hamstring so get him out and put Goodwin in there just to make sure he was okay. He was fine
With 6:04 left in the game, Curtis Martin was tackled in the end zone for a safety. Edwards explained what happened on the play. It was so noisy in the end zone, they could not hear the snap count so we were trying to get off on the defense, when the defense left, because they could not hear, the HC said. They could not hear the snap count so it was very difficult. They broke through and made a play. It was just tough.
INJURY REPORT: The Jets list of walking wounded is getting quite crowded. LB Jason Glenn is still out with a fractured forearm. S Derek Pagel is out with a left calf injury that was suffered in yesterdays loss. As mentioned above, QB Chad Pennington is out 2-4 weeks with a strained rotator cuff. S Jon McGraw is questionable with an abdominal strain. DE Shaun Ellis is questionable after suffering a groin injury in yesterdays loss. S Rashad Washington is questionable with a foot injury. G-T Brent Smith is questionable with a knee injury. LB Sam Cowart (knee) and CB Derrick Strait (foot) did not make the trip to Buffalo and are probable for this weeks game.
-LB Jason Glenn (forearm): Out
-S Derek Pagel (calf): Out
-QB Chad Pennington (shoulder): Out
-S Jon McGraw (abdomen): Questionable
-DE Shaun Ellis (groin): Questionable
-S Rashad Washington (foot): Questionable
-G-T Brent Smith (knee): Questionable
-LB Sam Cowart (knee): Probable
-CB Derrick Strait (foot): Probable
Be sure to check back to Jets Insider.com throughout the week for all the latest information as Quincy Carter and the Jets prepare for the Baltimore Ravens at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Meadowlands.
