Captive Birds
Unlike with cats and dogs, very few people are capable of providing adequate lifetime care for birds. Captive birds frequently suffer from captivity-related stress, leading to behavioral and physical problems. Birds sold as pets also very commonly suffer from nutritional diseases through the ignorance of those who purchase these exotic animals. Whether due to frustration, disinterest, or concern, many people attempt to rid themselves of the responsibility of caring for their birds. As a result, exotic bird sanctuaries across the country are overwhelmed with hundreds of unwanted and abused birds in need of rescue and life-long homes, while untold thousands more languish deprived and ignored in their cages because their "owners" have lost interest in them.
A common practice in developing countries is the keeping of wild-caught birds on leg chains attached to perches where they may languish for years, never to taste freedom again. The sight of a chained parrot listlessly sitting on a perch, or futilely passing back and forth and calling to his or her wild brethren is heartbreaking, and the temptation to purchase and release the animal can be overwhelming. But the solution is really not that simple.
Purchasing or "ransoming" birds only encourages the trade and likely results in more birds being captured. Releasing captured birds is not practical, since most chained birds cannot be immediately returned to the wild, and recently captured birds typically have their wings clipped prior to being chained. Birds who have spent months or years on a perch may not be able to fly as a result of atrophied or weakened flight muscles.

After Democrat Glenda Ritz defeated incumbent State Superintendent Tony Bennett last November, Gov. Mitch Daniels lashed out at public school teachers.
If you are a fan of anything-goes politics, it was a creative use of illegal – but still creative use – of public resources, Daniels told an education reform group in December. We got emails sent out on school time by people who were supposed to be teaching someone at the time, all about Tony Bennett.
The former governor never produced those emails, but Tom LoBianco of The Associated Press has uncovered an email trail far more disturbing: Bennett's frantic effort to manipulate the state's A-F grading formula to the benefit of a wealthy campaign contributor. Their disclosure begs for response from lawmakers and Gov. Mike Pence.
This will be a HUGE problem for us, Bennett wrote to his chief of staff two months before Election Day, after a top aide revealed that campaign supporter Christel DeHaan's charter school earned a C. They need to understand that anything less than an A for Christel House compromises all of our accountability work. We may well lose (GOP gubernatorial candidate) Pence on this as well.
The series of email exchanges details the search for a loophole to boost Christel House's grade to an A.
Keeping DeHaan and candidate Pence happy was a priority, and it's easy to understand why. DeHaan, a condominium timeshare tycoon, contributed $130,000 to Bennett's campaign coffers and more than $2.7 million to Indiana Republicans, including large contributions to campaigns to help the GOP win and maintain its majorities in the General Assembly. Pence's campaign donated $25,000 to Bennett's re-election effort.
The scramble to inflate Christel House's grade also was successful in pushing more than half of the state's charter schools to a letter grade of C or better, a claim Bennett couldn't make before the formula was massaged.
The disclosure settles the question why educators well-versed in test scores and evaluation systems couldn't make sense of it.
(I)t is not criterion based, it does not statistically make sense, it does not account for standard measure of error, it is unexplainable and difficult to understand, and it fails to comply with current law and administrative code, Superintendent Chris Himsel of Northwest Allen County Schools told legislators in a letter last November.
No, but it did plenty more. The jury-rigged formula maintained the goodwill of a generous campaign donor, preserved the illusion of sound accountability and justified the continuing legislative push.
Indiana lawmakers, however, had enough misgivings about the A-F grading system to pass legislation this spring directing the State Board of Education to create a new system based on individual student academic performance and growth. The catch is that the state board is controlled by Bennett loyalists, and the new system isn't due until Nov. 15. Until a new system is in effect, the current grading formula – disclosed as a sham – holds high stakes for Indiana schools and education dollars.
Indiana voters already have spoken on Bennett's performance as superintendent of public instruction. Should his clearly compromised work be allowed to stand?

My days are filled with flames nostalgia;
sin peeled away the walls of my heart,
torn my faith apart...
like burning acid it consumed me!
i look at my life and is empty!
hands bathed with the blood of broken dreams,
my heart cries out loud...
"save me from myself."
the world around me is unimaginable
i strech hands like a Roman slave being crucified...
and...and pray for the mythified to be truthified.
i brought upon me waves of self destruction;
i hear my heartbeat like a dreamy peice of music,
hope seeping through secret holes!
"save me from me"
save me from myself.
in my distress i call upon you Lord...
save me from the evil within me...
save me from myself

7 Relationship Truths Revealed – Tarot Spread
The 7 Relationship Truths Tarot spread will reveal where you stand with these 7 (not always so) obvious relationship truths. These are fundamental truths that most would agree on but we so easily forget all about in our day-to-day existence…
- Relationships take work (the input equals the output) - shows your current challenge in this relationship and if there are any inequalities that need balancing. We all know that relationships take work but we often forget to ask ourselves what we should be working on. The Tarot will provide you with the road signs you need!
- There is a higher reason for coming together - shows you the spiritual purpose/lesson behind you two being together. This card position could reveal a karmic link. If you remind yourself about the higher purpose for coming together, you may become less likely to sweat the small stuff.
- Making room for change (the only certainty is change) - shows you how you are changing in ways that might be challenging for your partner and how you can support yourself through this process. You are not the same wife your husband married 10 years ago. This is as it should.
- You are responsible for your own happiness - shows how you can liberate yourself from limitations to your own personal happiness or how you are blaming/holding the other person an emotional hostage. Only when you are happy in your own skin can you start swimming in the warm inviting waters of relationship happiness.
- Forgiveness sets you free - shows an area of your life where forgiveness is necessary. Most relationships contain an element of resentment but there is no need to accept this stifling energy just because it is common. You may need to forgive your partner or it could be yourself that you need to set free. The point is that forgiveness makes it possible for you to stop living in the past and start to truly enjoy the journey you are on as a couple.
- Supporting your partner (instead of trying to change them) – shows you how you can be a loving, non-judgmental and supportive influence in your partner's life. The only person you have the power to change is yourself. Your partner is not the same person you hooked up with 20 years ago. If you want to continue on this journey with them, you need to find a way of giving them room to grow. The card in this position will tell you how.
- Paying it forward - this shows you how you can begin to implement random acts of kindness in your most intimate relationship… without expecting anything back! Remember, 'Expectations are the termites of relationships.' And thus we are back where we started with 'The input equals the output.' This is true of all relationships until they have run their course. If there is a fundamental inequality in the giving and receiving, it may simply mean that it is time to move on. It could be an indication that one or more of your core needs are not being met.
If this is the case, I pray that you will have more clarity upon completing this relationship reading for yourself. Or perhaps you are in need of guidance by an experienced and compassionate tarot reader? This is what one of my clients had to say:
"My reading was right on target and gave me valuable insight into a relationship that had been confusing me for a while. Thank you so much for your advice. If I manage to follow it, I'm sure I'll experience the healing you suggest. :) " – Tierney

6 Responses to "7 Relationship Truths Revealed – Tarot Spread"
1.Relationships take work-5 of cups. I'm guess I'm struggling to see the good still left. I still dwell on the "what if's".
2.There is a higher reason for coming together-6 of pentacles-Learning what to give or how to give. I pulled another card because I feel very strongly that there was a karma for me and this man. But it was a court card, Knight of pentacles. In this position could it represent him or me? Or the relationship? I think I understand this card as being patient, working through everything methodically. Two pentacles cards imply some kind of material purpose, rather emotional or spiritual. Giving and taking…slowly. Not all or nothing I suppose and I think both of us may have felt that way. So this makes excellent sense.
3. Making room for change (the only certainty is change) 5 of swords. This mirrors the five of swords to me, with figures with their backs turned. My challenge to walk away as he and another person have already done so. There were no victors. That's just life. Perhaps there's also a concern with ego also.
By your description: shows you how you are changing in ways that might be challenging for your partner and how you can support yourself through this process.
As my change, I suppose just understanding/realizing that "you can't win them all". This is my name for this card.
5. You are responsible for your own happiness
2 of cups-Learning to trust again? I'm unsure.
6. Forgiveness sets you free-Ace of pentacles
He was represented by this Ace in another reading. I was trying to find a forgiveness spread.
As forgiveness? I guess it could mean both or just one of us need to forgive the other for creating something material. I left the country! I needed to, there was a small want but for my health I really need to! And the pentacles refer to health often.
I can see three aspects you mentioned.
I need to forgive myself for making this HUGE decision
Him for moving on…
Supporting your partner (instead of trying to change them) –High priestess
Trust my gut and instincts and leave him alone or give him time. Though we both hurt
each other, I can still still instinctively feel his pain even though he is physically moving on. I can't help him because I am the source. I think the hermit card would work best if that was the case but since this is something I can do for him. Find my inner secret knowledge, learning to trust myself. Being alone and searching for that universal knowledge.
Oh, this one is a little vexing.
Paying it forward-6 of cups- clarified by the King of wands.
I'm not sure I fully understand these cards as the position. The childhood/nostalgia card with a court card?
A little help please Lisa.
I'm learning bit by it. I've found that I'm understanding the individual cards better but that I have trouble seeing the connections all together.
I wonder if I can do the core-needs spread for myself. I think it would be a wonderful spread for that.
Wow, thanks…so much. Your input really makes things clearer. The 6 of cups as nostalgia in that last position and the 5 of cups as the challenge together and the 2 of cups. Just wow, once I read your reply, everything just clicked. I consider this my first love, so that's the reason why I struggled over this so much.
My health (in all aspects) is improving, so there's my bright side to all this!Although that 5 of cups as a challenge is nothing to scoth at!
BTW I love your sense of humor! Especially 8 types of W*ankers. I think the guy was a knight of cups that went reversed on me later… When I read your description, I almost fell out of my chair laughing.
Thank goodness I caught myself and no one was around! lol

Filing a Fictitious Name (DBA)
Your fictitious business name is a name other than your own under which you will be "doing business as" (DBA). You need to file for use of this name before you can legally use it to do business. This fictitious name links the name of the business to the actual proprietor (that's you). If you are opening a travel agency and you want to call it Odyssey, you need to establish that Odyssey is another name for you — the proprietor.
Check with your county clerk in the city where you will obtain your business license. You will need to post a newspaper notification of your DBA name and your intent to use it. Your published statement of intent may be used to file your DBA with the county clerk.
Form of Ownership
One of the first decisions that you will have to make as a business owner is how the company should be structured. This decision will have longterm implications, so consult with an accountant and attorney to help you select the form of ownership that is right for you. In making a choice, you will want to take into account the following:
- Your vision regarding the size and nature of your business.
- The level of control you wish to have.
- The level of structure you are willing to deal with.
- The business' vulnerability to lawsuits.
- Tax implications of the different ownership structures.
- Expected profit or loss of the business.
- Whether or not you need to reinvest earnings into the business.
- Your need for access to cash out of the business for yourself.
Sole Proprietorships
The vast majority of small businesses start out as sole proprietorships. These firms are owned by one person, usually the individual who has day-to-day responsibilities for running the business. Sole proprietors own all the assets of the business and the profits generated by it. They also assume complete responsibil
ity for any of its liabilities or debts. In the eyes of the law and the public, you are one in the same with the business.
Advantages of a Sole Proprietorship
- Easiest and least expensive form of ownership to organize.
- Sole proprietors are in complete
control, and within the parameters of the law may make decisions as they see fit.
Sole proprietors receive all income generated by the business to keep or reinvest.
Profits from the business flow directly to the owner's personal tax return.
- The business is easy to dissolve, if desired.
Disadvantages of a Sole Proprietorship
Sole proprietors have unlimited liability and are legally responsible for all debts against the business. Their business and personal assets are at risk.
May be at a disadvantage in raising funds and are often limited to using funds from personal savings or consumer loans.
May have a hard time attracting high-caliber employees or those who are motivated by the opportunity to own a part of the business.
Some employee benefits, such as owner's medical insurance premiums, are not directly deductible from business income (only partially deductible as an adjustment to income).
Federal Tax Forms for Sole Proprietorship
(only a partial list and some may not apply)
- Form 1040: Individual Income Tax Return
- Schedule C: Profit or Loss from Business (or Schedule C-EZ)
- Schedule SE: Self-Employment Tax
- Form 1040-ES: Estimated Tax for Individuals
- Form 4562: Depreciation and Amortization
- Form 8829: Expenses for Business Use of your Home
- Employment Tax Forms
In a partnership, 2 or more people share ownership of a single business. Like proprietorships, the law does not distinguish between the business and its owners.
The partners should have a legal agreement that sets forth how decisions will be made, profits will be shared, disputes will be resolved, how future partners will be admitted to the partnership, how partners can be bought out, and what steps will be taken to dissolve the partnership when needed.
Yes, it's hard to think about a breakup when the business is just getting started, but many partnerships split up at crisis times, and unless there is a defined process, there will be even greater problems. They also must decide upfront how much time and capital each will contribute, etc.
Advantages of a Partnership
Partnerships are relatively easy to establish. However, time should be invested in developing the partnership agreement.
- With more than one owner, the abil-
ity to raise funds may be increased.
The profits from the business flow directly through to the partners' personal tax returns.
Prospective employees may be attracted to the business if given the incentive to become a partner.
The business usually will benefit from partners who have complementary skills.
Disadvantages of a Partnership
- Partners are jointly and individually liable for the actions of the other partners.
- Profits must be shared with others.
- Since decisions are shared, disagreements can occur.
Some employee benefits are not deductible from business income on tax returns.
The partnership may have a limited life; it may end upon the withdrawal or death of a partner.
Partnerships to be Considered
- General Partnership Partners. divide responsibility for management and liability as well as the shares of profit or loss according to their internal agreement. Equal shares are assumed unless there is a written agreement that states differently.
- Limited Partnership and Partnership with limited liability.
Limited means that most of the partners have limited liability (to the extent of their investment) as well as limited input regarding management decisions, which generally encourages investors for short-term projects or for investing in capital assets. This form of ownership is not often used for operating retail or service businesses. Forming a limited partnership is more complex and formal than that of a general partnership.
- Joint Venture Acts like a general partnership, but is clearly for a limited period of time or a single project. If the partners in a joint venture repeat the activity, they will be recognized as an ongoing partnership and will have to file as such, and also distribute accumulated partnership assets upon dissolution of the entity.

My brother retreated to a basement apartment with his dog
Cary's classic column from Thursday, May 26, 2005
He's had some tough blows lately, but I'm concerned he's really losing it.
Dear Cary,
My younger brother, 40, is an anxious, depressed social recluse. He lives with his dog in a basement apartment alone. He never answers his phone. He only returns calls if it's urgent. He is getting more obese by the day, smokes and hacks and coughs, may be drinking. He now smells, doesn't cut his hair. He's so anxious, he'll do anything to avoid discussing real issues (his) and talks only about superficial things.
I'm in the unenviable position of being the one who can intervene — or not. Although we have an older brother who would support me, he's not prepared to lead the way. I've had many talks with my younger brother, pleading with him to see a doctor to get help. I've had my own mental health and addiction problems over the years, and I've shared my experience with him, including how much better I'm doing as a result of an SSRI I'm taking. I've offered to go with him to the doctor, to get him the names of people who can help. I've even told him I'd have to have him forcibly removed from his place if I felt he was becoming suicidal. He laughed it off. He still seems rational to talk to, but his life is crazy.
He lost his job about a year ago. It was a media job, pretty high profile. He'd been working at the same place basically since finishing college. He's talented and attractive, but not proactive in the least; he got as far as he did mostly because others pushed and made opportunities for him. In his first serious relationship (with someone from work, a "star"), he allowed himself to be treated with a lot of disrespect and completely deferred to her needs. In the end, she ended it and got married to someone who could provide what she needed. Soon after that, my brother rebounded with another woman, also from work but not a high-profile girl. Instead, she was a sweet but impulsive, gregarious, high-energy party type. Within six months, he'd proposed and they soon married.
From almost the day after their marriage, my brother seemed to abdicate and begin retreating. He didn't seem to worry anymore about putting effort into being positive, energetic, doing things. He became a lazy, withdrawn and bitchy guy who saw his work as his main obligation. True, his work required a lot of social energy; it required interacting with a lot of people; but he didn't seem to have anything left for his wife. After years of this and a general decline that saw him more and more withdrawn — never returning calls to family or friends, so that eventually he had no friends left — his wife left him. A week or two later, our father, whom he also neglected over the past years, died; months later, he was fired.
I don't fear that he's suicidal at this point. What makes me angry is that I know, in one way, where this will end up, and it means I'll be cleaning up for him because he's refusing to take my help now. He'll run out of money and become destitute, and I'll have to either take him in or otherwise "solve his life" for him. I get exasperated often as I wonder how someone who is being served up help on a platter can be so damned stubborn and insist they're "not ready for it" — knowing it's going to get worse. On the other hand, I guess he might make some change once he hits the real rock bottom — who knows? I'm torn about whether I should intervene now or whether he should be left to go through this?
Big Sis
Dear Big Sis,
What strikes me about your brother is that within a matter of months he lost his wife, his father and his job. That would be a setback for anyone. Some people would bounce back fairly soon. They would get another job and work through their loneliness and grief on their own time. Others might be seriously shaken, but would at least maintain their standard of living and basic hygiene. He went into a tailspin. I wonder why.
It could be that he is clinically depressed. If at all possible, have him examined. The stress of events may have triggered an episode. But I must be careful with such speculation; not only am I unqualified to diagnose, but as a writer, my bias is toward meaning, not pathology. So perhaps this is not illness at all. Perhaps it is a kind of journey.
What kind of journey could it be? You say that he is talented and attractive, but not proactive, and that his success at work was largely due to the favorable actions of others. You say that in his first relationship he deferred to the needs of his partner. That leaves the impression that he is affable and charming but somewhat passive. Perhaps in the past whenever he faced adversity he would give up until someone came along to rescue him. This time there is no one to help him to his feet — not his dad, not his wife, not his co-workers — only you, big sister, only you.
I always look for signs that the soul is seeking knowledge. The soul seeks knowledge through adversity. Sometimes that adversity is self-generated. People break the law and get locked up; we call it acting out; we call it antisocial, as if in a perfect world none of it would happen. We do not often pause to consider the value of our dark journeys, the priceless material we carry back with us when we return, shaken but sobered by what we have seen.
While we are sometimes too quick to assume that abnormality is illness, that deviation is pathology, as I say, I am no kind of doctor. (If I were, I would be a crazy doctor crawling in the muck, a scary bearded banger of bells, a gonger, a shouter, a vibrating and unreliable sage. I would be applauding the insane as they are led away in wagons. I would not be the kind of doctor you want to mend an arm or fix a tooth.) So, again, you should have a real doctor find out if he's clinically depressed, if he needs to be treated. If he is physically in danger, if he becomes suicidal, then perhaps to save a life a doctor has to intervene.
But perhaps he is struggling to accept adversity on his own. Perhaps, stricken by grief, alone in the world for the first time, he is trying to find out what difference it makes if he smells bad or not, if he answers the phone or not, if he succeeds or just sits alone in the dark with his dog. Perhaps he is on a twisted journey toward self-reliance. Perhaps in this way he is trying to become a man! As much as I want him to be OK, I also want to honor his decision to descend into a kind of funky, ugly madness.
In the meantime, what is your role? If you determine that he's not in imminent danger, you stand by. You stand by like a tug when a ship is in distress, like a spotter for a gymnast attempting a difficult flip. Do not assume that simply because he has chosen to retreat to the basement with his dog that he is irretrievable. After he has gone where he has to go, he may emerge one day, blinking in the sunlight, looking strangely radiant, saying, Look, look what I found, I may have paid too much for it but look how it shines!

Wouldn't it make a great book if Cary were to email all these people and and ask what happened since!
I'm going out on a limb here – gently ask your brother if he was ever molested as a child. His behavior is pretty classic.
I hope somebody rescued that poor dog!
Good analogy to "Touching the Void." It was Joe Simpson who had broken his leg and knee, and Simon Yates who cut the rope and thus saved them both. Fantastic book, well worth reading even if you are not a climber.
I was in a situation like this. Actually 2 of them. Nobody could get my mother to stop drinking when she desperately needed an operation. (They cannot operate if your blood alcohol level is high.) So the whole family pressured me, because I was the only only she would listen to. And I did get her to stop, using dire threats of never talking to her again. But when she needed a different medical procedure later, I declined because I knew the same threats would no longer work — they had been used up. So my brother tried, and made no progress whatsoever. He even kidnapped her and deposited her at the hospital, but they do not take patients who refuse treatment and alcoholism is not illegal. He did not speak to me for 2 years because I had "not even tried to help". Both of them are dead now, and I sometimes reflect on their lives. Neither had the life they deserved, the life they imagined. And both were passive, both were alcoholics. Did the alcohol create the passivity, or was it there anyway? I myself once had a life threatening illness where my quality of life was greatly diminished. As that happened i wanted to live even more than when I had been healthy. Surgeons cured me and all was well. But my mother and my brother never had a reaction like that — they embraced their downward spiral.
My father suggested that each of them wanted to die but was too passive for suicide. He said alcoholism of that degree was a cowards suicide. I cannot say, never having been in their situation. But I did learn that you cannot rescue people who basically don't want to be rescued. You can rescue stray dogs, you can rescue accident victims, but you cannot rescue people who are embracing death.
Cary is right that it is a journey. Do they return to the living after reaching the lowest point? Not necessarily — it depends on where their journey is heading. I have know people with much more severe disabilities than my mother and brother — they were both golfden children — but the other people had a life force that my mother and brother did not.
If you decide not to help, be very clear in your communication and do not allow yourself to be guilted into reengaging. If you cannot do that, they you too are in danger of a downward spiral. Did you ever read stories like "into the void" where Jon Krakauer's climbing partner had to cut the rope because otherwise they both would have fallen? It is like that — holding the rope when it is no longer feasible does not make the situation better.
PS: I think the Classic posts can be a great jumping-off point for interesting discussion among us readers. I hope it catches on. (Unless, of course, reader comments are mostly about the joy of us telling others how to live
This is one of those where it would be great to know how it turned out. I hope brother is all right. I agree with Cary that what we, in the western world, hasten to call pathology, is mostly simply the dark journey of the soul. Of course it has a bright one, as well, but, increasingly, we don't allow each other to undertake the journey into the underworld. The myth of Persephone may have been useful reading material for Big Sis to read and suggest to him because it casts the descent as an epic soul path, rather than an epic fail.

Mario Walder Interview
How did you get into climbing? Who introduced you to the sport?
I grew up on a mountain farm in Innervillgraten at 1500 metres above sea level, so I always had to climb. And I worked as overhead lineman for seven years. Many of my colleagues were climbers, so that's how I got into the sport.
How important are ethics in climbing and what are yours all about?
I set a high value on ethics. I've done almost all of my first ascents in classic style. In my opinion it's very important that the old classics remain as they are. You should respect the style of the first ascender and the mountain. To me there is nothing more beautiful than going into the mountains with friends and finding new ways. To see a line and to then climb it is the best - the line is what matters!
Did you have an idol?
Mountaineering legend Sepp Mayerl has always been my idol. At age 75 he is still young, active and passionate about the sport.
Are there any routes or projects you are particularly proud of?
The Nameless Tower in Pakistan with Thomas and Alex. For me it is one of the most beautiful rock climbing mountains in the world. And the route Eternal Flame is probably one of the most beautiful routes on the globe.
What would you do if you could no longer climb?
I never thought about it, I just climb.
Your life constantly dangles on a string or rather on one or two fingers. How do you deal with the risk of dying?
Climbing is not very dangerous. With good partners you can minimize the risk. Of course, an element of risk always remains - but that's life. Personally, I think driving a car is much more dangerous and actually you don't perish that quickly...
What do you need to be successful in this sport?
To be successful in mountaineering and climbing you need burning ambition and never-ending motivation.
What are your personal strengths?
I believe I have a very good lead climbing moral and that is a huge advantage. I feel comfortable in any kind of terrain - ice, snow, rock, may it be brittle or not. Thus I can do a lot on any mountain in the world.
And your weaknesses?
Water is my biggest weakness, but I hope I never have to swim to a mountain.
Do you have a philosophy?
Respect Gravity and stay alive...

Joaquin Phoenix Wants to Reteam with Paul Thomas Anderson for 'Inherent Vice'
In what should come as no surprise to the legion of The Master believers, Joaquin Phoenix wants to re-team with that film's director, Paul Thomas Anderson for the big screen adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's 2009 novel, Inherent Vice. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Phoenix is looking to reunite with the man most responsible for the best actor Oscar nomination. With Vice, Phoenix looks to slide into the position that once had Robert Downey Jr. sitting in, before he decided to pass on the project.
The book's plot: It's the late sixties and pot smoking detective Doc Sportello hasn't seen his ex-girlfriend in a while. Suddenly she shows up with a story about a plot to kidnap a billionaire land developer whom she just happens to be in love with. It's the tail end of the psychedelic sixties in L.A., and Doc knows that "love" is another of those words going around at the moment, like "trip" or "groovy," except that this one usually leads to trouble.
As with every film he immerses himself in, Anderson has been working on the screenplay for a number of years. If these two re-connect with this film perhaps art will imitate life once more as Anderson becomes Phoenix's master.

Debate: Who's to blame for bullies?
Who's to blame for bullies? I think parents are responsible for thier children's actions. Communication or lack thereof is causing children to figure out who they are themselves, when it is the responsibility of the parents to help shape them to become a kind and compassionate individual.

Nov 19 2012: I agree, I think first and foremost the parents are directly to blame for bullies. I think poor parenting and poor examples demonstrated by one's elders takes a direct effect on a kid more then anything else. Terrible parenting is what I feel is the source of bullying and couldn't agree with you anymore Mendy. I think this is an on going issue for years and feel that kids are not the only victim of it. Thank you for sharing.

Guy's Guide to Grilling
Tips, tricks, and recipes for delicious, heart-healthy meals.
The Thrill of the Healthy Grill
Looking for ways to make your grilling healthier? Follow these tips:
- Take cover. Marinades are for more than just flavor. Studies show that marinades may help protect against the buildup of heterocyclic amines (HCAs), potential carcinogens formed when grilling meat, fish, and poultry.
- Lean on me. The less fat you start with, the fewer HCA-inducing flare-ups you'll have when you grill. Pick lean cuts and trim away excess fat before you start cooking.
- Divide and conquer. To further reduce the amount of HCAs that make it to your plate, avoid cooking directly over the coals when possible, Grotto says. To do this, wait until the coals are fully heated, then carefully divide them into two piles, and cook food in between them.
- Eat your veggies. Not only are they good for you and taste great fresh off the grill, but vegetables -- and fruits -- don't produce harmful HCAs.

Third Grader Shows Off Gun at Recess
Advice every parent needs to hear about firearm safety.
A third-grade student took a loaded handgun to a Pennsylvania elementary school Monday, school officials said. Penn Manor School District Superintendent Donald Stewart says, "He said he wanted to show it at recess."
More than 500 children die annually from accidental gunshots. Some shoot themselves, while others kill friends or siblings after discovering a gun.
Here are more scary stats: Americans own 200 million firearms, and 35 percent of homes contain at least one gun. Last year, a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found more than 1.7 million children live in homes with loaded and unlocked guns.
And if you do own a gun and think your kid won't get to it, listen to this: A recent study published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine found 39% of kids knew where their parent's guns were stored, while 22% said they had handled the weapons despite adult's warnings to stay away. What's more, age was not a factor in whether children had played with the guns -- 5-year-olds were just as likely to report doing so as
Here are just a few heartbreaking cases:
- 4-year-old Dylan Jackson shot himself to death after finding a loaded gun at a friend's home during a birthday party.
- A 3-year-old Southeast Washington boy shot himself in the foot and grazed his hand while playing with his father's gun -- which he found lying on the floor.
- A 2-year-old Tampa boy shot himself in the chest with a loaded 9 mm he found in his parent's couch while playing.
- Last February, a 13-year-old boy shot himself with a semiautomatic handgun in the home of his guardian, a Maryland police officer.
- The 10-year-old son of a New York City police officer died after shooting himself in the face with his father's loaded revolver. The boy found the weapon on a shelf in the basement while looking for a ball his mom had hidden.
Is there a way to stop these senseless deaths?
The NRA (National Rifle Association) sponsors classes that teach children if they find a gun to leave the area and inform an adult, but studies show kids who take these classes are no less likely to play with guns than kids who don't attend class.
"The biggest mistake parents make is assuming their child doesn't know where the gun in the house is," says Matthew Miller, associate director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. "Kids are smart and if they know there's a firearm in the house, they'll probably figure out a way to get to it."
"We can't expect children to act like adults," he adds. "Parents monitor their kid's diet, curfew, and social life but when it comes to guns, parents often just say, 'Respect the gun, it's off limits' or 'Guns are dangerous.' That type of parenting just doesn't work."
So should parents not tell kids if there's a gun in the home? "First, you have to weigh whether or not you really need a weapon," says Miller. "Do the benefits outweigh the risks? If the answer is yes, you must take safety precautions."
"Be honest with your children," says Miller. "Tell them there is a firearm in the home but explicitly explain that guns are fatal, no matter how children handle them. Don't keep the gun loaded and store the ammunition in a locked safe and carry the key with you at all times. Also, don't hide the combination and don't give it an obvious numerical password."
"The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends pediatricians ask parents about guns in their home in an effort called 'Anticipatory Guidance' which attempts to keep children safe in cars, on bikes, and around swimming pools," says Miller. "It's rare that doctors initiate this conversation, but they should."
"Also, ask the parents of your children's friends if they keep guns at home and if kids will be playing where they're stored," added Miller. "Don't worry about appearing intrusive. It's better to seem pushy and be safe."
Do you think parents should keep guns in their home with children present?
Of course parents should keep guns in their home with children present. If the gun is properly stored in a safe, and the ammo stored safely, there will be no problems.
"More than 500 children die annually from accidental gunshots." How are you defining 'children'? Many of these phony statistics count 24-year-olds as 'children'. The age of a 'child' is 0-17. At 18 they become an adult.
How many of these 'children' are teenage gang bangers, murdering members of rival gangs?
"Here are more scary stats: Americans own 200 million firearms, and 35 percent of homes contain at least one gun."
Why is that 'scary'? Obviously you don't fully support the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution, and nearly all State Constitutions. So biased.
"Last year, a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found more than 1.7 million children live in homes with loaded and unlocked guns."
Yeah? So what? The number of actual children that die using a firearm is only a few hundred. Do the math… 1.7 million homes, which translates to about 3 million children… and only a few hundred die? This exposes the emotional and non-sensicle fear of anti-liberty folks.
"And if you do own a gun and think your kid won't get to it, listen to this:"
If you train your children at an early age safe firearm handling you significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Gun accidents occur when parents refuse to teach their children proper gun safety, even if they do not own a gun.
At some point in your kid's life they will likely encounter a gun - and you will not be there to step in. If your kid knows how to properly unload a gun he/she may stop a fatal accident. By the kid not knowing, you instill curiosity. But of course, "my child would never…"
Teaching your children about firearm safety is similar to teaching them about sex (and ideally abstinence before marriage). If you don't teach them, they will learn it from someone else.
YES, accidents DO happen, but there are many MORE dangerous things than guns lying around. The actual accident rate caused by guns is minuscule; far less than the number of times that a gun has saved a person from a violent crime, or death. If society would stop demonizing tools such as guns, children would be less prone to be so drawn to them in the first place. I never heard of a kid bringing a hammer to class to show it off to their peers !
How many more tragedies do we have to witness — kids killing kids with guns they should not have. We are fighting to keep kids alive. www.momsagaignstguns.org

Most fish are running 4-8 pounds with an occasional fish in the teens. The best lures have been Yozuris, Rebels, Bombers, P-Line Angry Eyes and Predators.
Bait fishermen reported too much wind on many days, but on the days they do venture out, they fish from the Rio Vista Bridge down to Sherman Island, using shad, sardines and anchovies.

Crocodile Jumps on Swedish Tourist in Australia (Video)OMG, Strange News — By Dave on 2012/12/19 4:18 PM
A 'flying' crocodile jumped on a Swedish tourist in Litchfield National Park, Australia. Felix Andersson and his buddies were swimming at the Wangi Falls in the Northern Territory when they got too close to a crocodile sunbathing on a nearby rock. The leaping croc slapped Felix in the face before landing in the water.

IRONTON, Ohio (WSAZ) -- School leaders in Ironton and city police are trying to figure out who is responsible for removing 14 batteries from school buses.
The thefts happened sometime overnight, Sunday into Monday. A bus driver noticed what happened about 6 a.m.
Maintenance crews worked quickly to get the school buses back up and running. The thefts forced the district to operate on a two-hour delay.
The vandals did not have to break into any kind of garage or fence to get through, but according to school officials there are images captured on surveillance video.
According to Captain Joe Ross at the Ironton Police Department the cost of the school damage is $2,500.
Captain Ross and Chief Dan Johnson say that car battery thefts have been quite common over the last few months in the city. More than 35 reports have been taken.
"There is stuff inside the batteries, there is lead and these places are taking the lead out and these places are buying the batteries for $12 to $15, especially the industrial size batteries," Captain Ross said.
What can you do to stop the thieves? The chief says if they truly want to get to your battery they will break the car window.
"Most vehicles you can't open the hood unless you get inside the vehicle so if they are locked there is one (piece of) preventative maintenance right there."
Clayton Bryant at Gold Street Muffler was able to show that a battery theft can take just seconds.
"Probably about 6-7 seconds," Bryant explained. "Probably ten raising the hood and all."
Bryant says that if the battery is in the proper hold down it won't be able to prevent someone from getting it out but it will slow them down. He suggests asking a professional to make sure it is properly locked into place.
Not only is the process fast areas with several vehicles are targeted, "it's where they can get the most in the shortest amount of time."
The bus yard was a prime target.
The school superintendent, William Nance, says the importance of these school buses goes beyond the school day. The buses are used in case of a natural disaster or homeland security issue.
Superintendent Nance says that the people responsible will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Best Little Truck Around by LutheranRev on 07/18/2011. Trim: 1999 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4WD, Owned 2 years.
Pros: This little pickup could haul just about anything. I took a full size refrigerator and range over 1,000 miles in it without a problem. With the 4 wheel drive off road package, you can get anywhere even when the snow would keep most people home. The ride was extremely comfortable, for the short trip to the store or for a long road trip. Even with over 180,000 miles, it was a dependable vehicle for whatever you needed it for. If I didn't need the full back seat to transport an infant around, I'd have kept it.
Cons: With the Flex Fuel engine, the fuel mileage using E85 wasn't the greatest. I also don't like that I don't have this truck anymore.
Overall review: If you have a chance to get one of these that's in decent shape, do it. You won't regret it!

Daily Driver... by An MSN Autos Consumer on 04/07/2011. Trim: 1999 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4WD, Owned 10 years.
Pros: GReat TRuck, I've had so far for 10 plus years, no major problems, Has 156,000 miles.
Cons: Gas Mileage, That 4.0L is a great engine but driving 60 miles a day, really like to eat up the gas, and the max gas per tank fill is about 250 between fill ups
Overall review: TRuck is great, had it is holding up well, Starting to show a little age, but overall it is a excellent truck
Review ID: #551881 Is this review offensive?
Great Little Trucks! by Andytalex on 12/24/2012. Trim: 1999 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4WD, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Excellent handling, Great ground clearence, Low Maintanence, Comfortable (front seats), Acceptable HWY MPG ('99 3.0 Flex) ABS works awesome in snow/mud/wet roads, Decent towing for a compact pickup of its year (1999) (high torque),
Cons: No skid plate under front end before 2000, Really light rear end, Terrible back "seats", Horrible City MPG ('99 3.0 Flex), ABS non-existant on dry surface, Under powered acceleration (1999) (low horsepower),
Overall review: Great compact pickup with excellent features and an affordable price. This is the third Ranger I have owned ('89, '94, '99) and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Though I would be sure to get one with 4 doors or at least the 3rd door, getting things or people in and out of the rear of the cab is slightly less then easy at times with just the 2 door model. Buy a ranger, you wont be dissapointed!

Overall review: excellent pickup

Most amazing little truck out there! by An MSN Autos Consumer on 08/06/2010. Trim: 1999 Ford Ranger XLT Reg. Cab Long Bed 2WD, Owned more than 10 years.
Pros: I have a manual and it shifts very easily. the clutch is super easy to push in. also the jalepino green color is awesome. everyone compliments on how much they love the color. its comfy for just two people and for long drives.
Cons: the only thing i didnt really like was that it has little weight in the back so unless you have 4 wheel drive, you have to be careful in slick weather.
Overall review: this is an amazing truck! if it wouldnt be for the fact someone T-boned me, i'd still be driving it. it was very stylish with the step side and the original chrome wheels from when we bought it. its very dependable and has good gas mileage.

My Favorite Historical Fashion – It's the Shoes
Anyone who knows me at all knows I'm a shoe person. I love shoes. Not impractical five-inch heels, but give me something frou frou or lace trimmed, and I adore them.
With all the glorious historical clothing and accessories, why are shoes my favorite? Have you seen any historical shoes? I'm not talking just vintage, but shoes dating back a few hundred years. Just do a quick search on Pinterest for historical shoes and start drooling.
Guest Post: A Gypsy Noblewoman, Collette Cameron
The heroine in The Viscount's Vow, Evangeline (Vangie) Caruthers, is a bit unusual for a Regency romance. Though she's the daughter of a baronet, she's also part Romani; a gypsy princess in fact. I thought I'd share some of the interesting Romani culture tidbits I came across while doing my research. These were true in 1814, the year The Viscount's Vow is set in.

You better work, witch
Britney Spears swung a bloody axe and hopped on a broom for BBC Radio 1's Halloween spoof, "It's Britney Witch."
The pop star, alongside a hungry Nick Grimshaw, read the opening lyrics to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in celebration of the year's spookiest holiday.
See video: 'Breaking Bad's' Aaron Paul Helps Britney Spears Spread Capitalism in 'Work Bitch'
Draped in spiders and adorning a throne, Spears recited the poem in an on-again, off-again British accent as TV and radio personality Grimshaw creeped up on her, took selfies and ordered takeout.
The two also flew around on brooms for a bit. The whole thing is equal parts weird and funny.

The victims are the driver and passenger in a car rear-ended by a semi on US-127 Tuesday afternoon.
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – More than 2,500 protesters swarmed the inside of the Capitol today in opposition of the right-to-work legislation that Governor Snyder signed late Tuesday evening. The protesters came from all over the state- chanting, pounding and yelling their way through the rotunda to express their outrage over new laws they say will likely throw crippling lows at Michigan unions. "This [law] says that you can't even negotiate that people who benefit from a contract will have to pay their fair share," says Lily Eskelsen, vice president of the National Education Association. "This is an attack on working families, on people who work for a paycheck."
Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. made a surprise visit to protesters inside the Capitol, urging them to continue fighting for workers' rights, and even consider a mass strike. "[Making a difference] may even involve a major one-day strike so that the workers' power be felt," says Jackson. "If Mandela can spend 27 years in jail, if Dr. King can spend night after night in jail for a sacrifice, maybe a one-day strike by workers may be felt, and will send a message that workers will not be going backwards."
Jackson also called the right-to-work a bold state's rights act that will increase the gap between the wealthy and the working class. Emerald Morrow is a reporter with WLNS-TV. Reach out to her on Facebook, Twitter or email at email@example.com.

This game is a winning staple for any birthday bash--its rules are familiar, its action is quick and it adapts to just about any party theme.
One person plays Simon, and the others stand facing him. Simon instructs the others to perform an action by saying, "Simon says, do this," then demonstrates what is to be done. The other children must imitate Simon.
If Simon only says "Do this" while showing the action, the other players are not supposed to imitate their leader. Anyone who does so then steps out of the game. Players must also step out if they fail to imitate a certain action when they're supposed to.
Simon's strategy is to get the game moving so quickly that the players fail to notice when he just says "Do this" before demonstrating an action.

In the third adventure in C. J. Box's engrossing series, Joe Pickett finds himself at the center of a confrontation between a special investigative team and a group of government-hating survivalists camped out on federal land. With the help of a mysterious stranger, Joe lays his life on the line to protect an innocent girl before a wave of violence surges over the Bighorn Mountains.

"I can not seem to put it down!"
This was a good story. To begin with I did not think that I would be a fan of CJ Box, but I really enjoy his Joe Pickett series.
The explosion of the compound and the death of little April.
Nate Rama..... I enjoyed his characterization. I hope we see or hear from Nate again.
Joe appears to be a good guy who tries to do the right thing regardless of the outcome. Very, very, very few people live life this way.
"What a great story!"
I loved the tragedy, I loved the ending and outcome. I was thankful for it.
I especially loved Nate, the outlaw.
The ending. I wanted to cry.
"You might want to save your credit."
I can't really believe I made it through this book. If I hadn't had a long day of mind numbing, tedious chores it wouldn't have happened.
So what's wrong with "Winterkill"? Shallow characters, a scattershot plot line, unbelievable technical details, descriptive phrases that made me cringe, and a marginal reader.
The book seems to start out OK, an interesting premise, a beautiful location and steps in a big pile before the first scene is even over. I mean, if a character is so drunk he can't tell cigarets from bullets it isn't likely he can shoot well enough drop seven fleeing elk, but maybe...and I'd really like to see someone remove a steering wheel with just a leatherman tool, but still..., and then, our intrepid hero tracks the escaped bad guy through the snow, realizes the villain must be hiding behind a tree because the tracks stop at the tree, then, lo and behold, finds the fellow pinned to the other side of the tree by two arrows with..... his throat cut, (by the longest armed murderer in the history of crime literature?). No.
Add to this a description of the rugged, silent, tortured, sidekick's enormous revolver that is nearly pornographic, then later in the, just in case you missed it, he describes it again in the same orgasmic tones. Ugh.
Now include a well stereotyped, bitchy female victim, a schizophrenic attitude toward a group of separatists, (They're worth admiring- they can escape from a shootout in a fleet of old motorhomes and campers, down a forest road which the authorities could only navigate in snowcats and on snowmobiles, Wish I could drive like that), and a host of characters who are only memorable because they aren't.
To be fair to the narrator, he didn't have a lot to work with, but it would have been easier to keep track of the players if he didn't use the same voice for the stalwart sidekick and the evil FBI agent. And, while this is unfair, I just didn't like his voice, he sounded like an extremely "untough" character trying hard to sound tough. Not really something he could help, but it was distracting.
I admire anyone who can write well enough that other people want to read his work, (I certainly can't), and a lot of people like to read Mr. Box's work, so I realize that my opinion is likely to be challenged. If you like this style, go for it, but if you're looking for an intelligent, well crafted, western mystery, approach this book with caution.
I have always loved to read. As a child my mom actually grounded me from books if I was in trouble. Noone can do that now. Yay!
"My favorite of the first three novels."
I don't know as I did not read the print version However, Mr Chandler's narration was so good that I can imagine it is better.
From the moment we learned April's mother was in town it was obvious what was about to happen. Still, when April described her "dream" to the family my heart filled with compassion for this child. She was obviously happy in the Pickett home and wanted to remain there. Still, she was torn as it was her mother that she dreamt of.
Then she saw her mother from the bus window and before she could tell Sheridan it was her mom, the girls made comments about the woman they had seen. It must have torn at April's heart. I felt all my motherly instincts fire up and from that moment I felt angry with the biological mother, and with the federal officers who refused to listen to Joe.
I enjoyed Nate. I hope he makes appearances in some of the next novels. He isn't quite a good guy, but he makes a great sidekick for Joe.
