Wikipedia Meaning and Definition on 'Fleeing'
The "fight-or-flight response", also called the "fight-or-flight-or-freeze response", the "fright, fight or flight response", "hyperarousal" or the "acute stress response", was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon.
His theory states that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system, priming the animal for fighting or fleeing. This response was later recognized as the first stage of a general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among vertebrates and other organisms.
Catecholamine hormones facilitate immediate physical reactions associated with a preparation for violent muscular action. These include the following:
A typical example of the stress response is a grazing zebra, calmly maintaining homeostasis. If the zebra sees a lion closing in for the kill, the stress response is activated. The escape requires intense muscular effort, supported by all of the body's systems. The sympathetic nervous system's activation provides for these needs. A similar example involving fight is of a cat about to be attacked by a dog. The cat shows accelerated heartbeat, piloerection (hair standing on end, normally for conservation of heat), and pupil dilation, all signs of sympathetic arousal.[See more about Fleeing at Dictionary 3.0 Encyclopedia]

Police in Essex have gotten a court order to take fingerprints from a man who police say may have burglarized the home of a missing couple.
Bill and Lorraine Currier disappeared from their Colbert Street home eight months ago. The police investigation has centered on evidence collected from the couple's car and home, but no major breaks have been made in the case.
Now, a Vermont Superior Court judge has ordered a man who police are calling a person of interest, not a suspect, to submit his fingerprints and palm prints to police.
The man's name is blacked out in court paperwork, but police believe his prints will match forensic evidence found inside the home. Investigators would not say if they are linking that same man to the couple's disappearance.

Chances are, sometime in your life, you'll need an antibiotic.
But did you know that bacteria are evolving antibiotic resistance so quickly – and pharmaceutical companies are not inventing new antibiotics – that soon, there will not be any that are effective?
Project Protect, an online program for distributing information, is on Facebook [2] and Twitter [3] and is dedicated to sharing information about antibiotic resistance and how to stay healthy. People can submit questions, and Barlow will answer them or she and her students will refer people to other sources of information.
This is another example of UC Merced's research having direct implications on the well-being of people in the region, state, nation and world.
The Facebook page is only a couple of months old, but Barlow started blogging about her research several years ago, and people have been contacting her for help since she started.
"They need help figuring out how to get better from infections," she said.
One woman wrote to Barlow just two days before she was scheduled to have her foot amputated because of a serious infection. Barlow – who is not a medical doctor – suggested she ask her doctor immediately for a different antibiotic.
The woman took Barlow's advice, and two days later was improved enough that she did not need surgery at all.
While the discovery of penicillin remains one of science's greatest breakthroughs, in the years since its discovery several problems have developed:
"They kill all the bacteria in your gut, but that allows other bacteria to invade," Barlow said.
People are always taught to take the whole course of antibiotics as prescribed, but sometimes they don't realize they should stop taking the medicine if they are showing signs of allergic or toxic reactions.
As an evolutionary biologist, Barlow said she chose this field for study because it's one of the few cases where you can actually see evolution happening. Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics in two to three years.
"We can even predict how bacteria will adapt to become more resistant," Barlow said. The work she and colleagues like Professors Suzanne Sindi and Wei-Chun Chin and School of Natural Sciences [4] Dean Juan Meza are doing has broad implications everywhere. Infections are common all over the world and to all groups of people.
Barlow urges people to stay healthy and do what they can to avoid infections – including washing hands thoroughly and learning how to properly clean and dress a wound. Also, be a responsible patient. Communicate with your doctor to make sure that you really need an antibiotic, and ask your pharmacist about side effects so you know if a medication is starting to do more harm than good.
"Project Protect is all about patient education," Barlow said. "It's about making sure people know what should be happening to them."

And then the priest will be surprised that the vampire's wolf will start chasing him.

The great outdoors workout
There's good news for boot camp attendees, with a review of previous studies concluding that exercising outside provides additional mental benefits. The Australian Institute of Fitness recommend that all students investigate boot camps in the local area. Whether you're doing just Certificate III in Fitness, or you're combining Certificate III in Fitness with Certificate IV in Fitness you'll touch on the benefits of outdoor training. Likewise whether you do their face to face course or you're getting qualified via their personal trainer course online, the course coaches will teach you about outdoor and boot camps
Researchers from the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry analysed data comparing the effects of exercising inside with the effects of the same activity in an outdoor setting.
The team reported an overall improvement in mental wellbeing among fresh air exercisers, compared to their indoor counterparts. Using the natural environment as a gym reportedly engendered feelings of increased energy and positive engagement, as well as decreased tension and negativity. Importantly, this greater enjoyment of the exercise setting also increased likelihood of participants repeating the experience – the personal trainer's client retention dream!
Dr Jo Thompson-Coon, Research Fellow with the Peninsula CLAHRC, said, 'By using the data currently available to us we have added strength to the link between mental and physical well-being and outdoor exercise'.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
After hearing so many negative things about Hardin County schools in general, I was aprehensive about enrolling my children. I could have saved myself alot of worry...Meadow View is a wonderful school. I can't say enough about it. It seems to me every teacher knows every student by name. They are extremely caring, going above and beyond what you'd expect. One of my children has a physical disability, and the assistants who help her are phenomenal. It's just a great school all around, from the principal and teachers to the kitchen staff and maintenance workers. They are all wonderful.
FYI- The principal referenced in the 2005 comment no longer works at Meadow View. I have heard very nice things about the newest principal who began in August of 2008. The parents and staff seem to respect him.
I have two children that attend this school and we just love the staff. Its a great enviroment for our children to learn. And the teacher really care about the student and school. They seem to be like a family.
My children have excelled in this school. They are being challenged like they need with being gifted and talented students. They have an excellent GT program and the teachers and staff are very helpful and friendly.
All six of my children went to meadowview elementary school. It was by far very professional and very family orientated. On a scale of one-ten, I will give the teachers and staff a one hundred. The new pincipal, however, I would give less than a zero. With a more professional principal, this school could once again be a quality place. It is my personal philosophy that a school is only as good as its leader.
I have had two children finish this school, and my third child is in preschool. This is by far one of the best elementary schools in Hardin County. As a matter of fact, I moved into this school district so that my children could attend this school. Two of my children are special needs, one a behavior issue and one has a physical disability. My middle child is 'average'. All of my childrens' needs were met, never a fuss. The test scores prove how diligent this school is in educating young minds.

Happy New Year!
I trust that you have all made it safely and sanely through the holiday season, and are gearing up to enter the new year in one piece.
Here is a quick preview of this winter metaMarcy update:
New Moon in Capricorn on New Year's Day
30 First Steps, January Transformational Program
Oh wait— Did someone say "CHANGE"? Newness in 2014 Eep/Yay!
Last Chance Packages and Bundles
$25 Off
And some items to make note of:
NYC Dates: January 25 & 26
metaMarcy On the Road: San Francisco and Maui/Kauai Feb 14-25
metaMarcy in the Media: Huk Magazine issue 2 & all new Hey You Know It podcast episodes
Coming soon: 12-Week Spring Transformational Program (More info soon!)
So. We jump right into the New Year with a new moon, a relatively rare occurrence. (The last time a new moon occurred on the first day of a new year was 19 years ago.) This means extra emphasis on the whole "out with the old, in with the new" theme, and makes this time extra ripe for planting seeds and starting over. This particular new moon falls in the sign of Capricorn, creating the perfect energy for organizing, restructuring, and setting new goals.
Old paradigm new year's resolutions just don't work. (In fact, only about 8% of people follow through.) I propose a new paradigm, and it looks like this:
30 First Steps: Let's start 2014 on the right foot!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. That's what my friend Lao Tzu says all the time. (Seriously. He won't stop talking about it.)
But wait. What if you took THIRTY steps? That might actually blow your entire mind. Or at the very least, get you 30 paces closer to wherever you are going.
And hold on: what if, WHAT IF, you took those thirty steps with a bunch of other amazing people who were ALSO taking thirty steps AND you were all doing that under the guidance of a first-rate intuitive healer who has your brightest, most joyful and outstanding self in her field of vision at all times?
THAT would be THIS:
30 FIRST STEPS: Let's start 2014 on the right foot!
January 2 - January 31, 2014
For more details click here, but the basics are:
At the beginning and end of the month, I will spend an hour with you, and we will figure out how to make your plans, goals, and dreams a reality. Every day in between, I will send you an email with a step to take. Each week, you will have an opportunity to talk to the other people taking those steps. When all is said and done, we will assess your progress and figure out where to go from there.
Nothing I suggest will take you longer than 5 minutes to do. Everything I suggest will be designed to enhance and make easier whatever else you already have going on.
How's that sound? If you are into it, use this link to book your initial strategy session: https://www.timetrade.com/book/Q5H4L
If you're almost into it but still have some questions, get in touch: 860-823-8605 firstname.lastname@example.com
I recommend starting on Jan 2 along with the rest of us, but registration is open til the 5th, and catching up won't take you more than 15 minutes.
To recap, this program includes:
On-going intuitive guidance and the creation of an action plan for 2014
2 one-on-one sessions with me: One strategy session at the beginning of the month, and one follow-up in early February
Daily email assignments, suggestions, tip, tricks and ideas designed to help you invite new possibilities and opportunities as you implement your action plan
Optional weekly group calls
Email and phone support throughout the month
Discounts on future readings for the remainder of 2014
Cost is $300.
Emails and group calls only: $60
Additional benefits: Membership in my semi-secret society, which includes discounts on all additional services in 2014 and special perks throughout the year.
…AND SOME BIG CHANGES FOR METAMARCY in 2014
As I have mentioned in previous emails, my per session rate will going up. The new rate is $150.
BUT FIRST: You still have a couple days to get yourself (or a friend) some sessions at the old rate of $95.
You may purchase old-reading-rate sessions in packs of 3, 5, or 10. These readings do not expire and are fully transferrable (or keep-for-yourself—able).
And HERE! $25 off your first session of the new year.
Plus, I have the following subscriptions and packages available.
Level 1 subscription: 4 readings in one year, $500 ($100 savings)
(ask me about additional subscription options— this is just the minimum.)
One for Me, One for My Friend (friend must be a new client): 2 readings for $220
For booking:
I do most readings over the phone, and have appointment times every day of the week. If inquiring by email, please offer some dates and a timeframe that is good for you. Recordings of phone sessions are available at no charge.
I have in-person appointments at the META Center in the Chelsea section of Manhattan (214 W 29th St. between 7th and 8th Aves.) once or twice per month. These sessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with special preference given to subscribers. There is a strict 48-hour cancellation policy on in-person appointments.
I also offer in-person sessions at Metta Community Wellness, located in the Hudson Valley. Contact me for details.
Call 860-823-8605 or firstname.lastname@example.com to book.
And that's that— for now! I wish you all a safe and exciting new year, and strongly encourage you to consider joining us (6 people have registered so far!) for our 30 First Steps!
If you have contacts or suggestions about things to do in San Francisco, Maui, or Kauai, let me know! And if you or someone you know is located there and would like to host house party, I'm game for some work while I am on the road.
Please check out my column in Huk Magazine and feel free to send me your advice questions for the next edition. If I choose your question, you get a free 20-minute follow-up phone consult with me. And take a listen to Hey You Know It if you get a chance. The latest episode features my predictions for 2014 and some really fun Advice on Advice, my favorite segment.
Finally, I will be in touch again soon, to tell you about my springtime intensive, a transformational program designed to help you get things done and make things happen. More information coming soon!
Most of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Thank you for your continued commitment to growth and expanded awareness, and to undertaking these charges with such joy and courage. You inspire me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

30 FIRST STEPS: Let's start 2014 on the right foot!
January 2 - January 31, 2014
We are all familiar with the standard process of setting New Year's Resolutions. It's not a bad idea in theory: set a goal + do the thing = you are harder, better, faster, strong/your life is changed for the better. It's just that, in reality, only 8% of people actually follow through on the resolutions they set (thank you to Alicia for that statistical tidbit.) An increasingly popular solution to this conundrum is to forgo setting resolutions in the first place. But MAN, the new year (particularly THIS new year, coinciding with the new moon in Capricorn, which is all about hard work, organization, and streamlining the achievement process) seems so ripe with opportunity for setting up new structures and goals. RIGHT!?
So how about this: Let's focus on the STEPS. If we just take the steps, it stands to reason we will arrive at our destination. And we can skip the part where we freak out about how big everything is, and how far away our goal is, and how we are never in a million years going to make it. Because everyone knows that taking one single measly step is a piece of cake. Plus, I'm going to help!
Because I utterly and unfailingly believe in you, I commit to offering every shred of wisdom I have access to, all of my creative wisdom, and all of my enthusiasm to helping you this year.
In January, we start with the basics: At the beginning and end of the month, I will spend an hour with you, and we will figure out how to make your plans, goals, and dreams a reality. Every day in between, I will send you an email with a step to take. (I'll also offer you some options for skips and twirls or giant leaps, but remember, this is kind of like Fight Club— you choose your own level of involvement.) Each week, you will have an opportunity to talk to the other people taking those steps. When all is said and done, we will assess your progress and figure out where to go from there.
Some steps you will love. Some you might hate. Some you may care nothing for either way. All of this is ok— this month is about taking steps, and discovering which steps are taking you somewhere you want to go.
Nothing I suggest will take you longer than 5 minutes to do. Everything I suggest will be designed to enhance and make easier whatever else you already have going on.
How's that sound? If you are into it, get in touch so we can schedule your first strategy session. 860-823-8605 or email@example.com

LOVE READINGS in February
Ready to relate to yourself in a new way, and open up new possibilities for yourself? Let's do a Divine Meeting intuitive healing session. The premise is this: We are multi-dimensional beings governed by the divine masculine and feminine principles that reside within us. In this 1-hr session, I act as a mediator between these entities, and much like a relationship therapist, work to develop greater communication skills and new methods of relating between them. This work is unparalleled for challenging outmoded behavior patterns and re-discovering your greatest love— the one that exists within you!
If you and your partner would like to explore your relationship together, a Couples' Tarot Reading might be just the thing for you! Go beyond current constructs of traditional romantic love and discover greater avenues for healing, teaching, and growth together.
If you're interested in an in-person session with me at my office in NYC, you want to get in touch soon, because they are booking up fast. (Thanks for that, by the way!) Here are the dates between now and when my work at the Omega Institute begins, when my availability will once again decrease dramatically:
Saturday and Sunday February 9 & 10
Sunday February 24
Saturday March 9
Sunday March 24
Saturday and Sunday April 6 & 7
My office is at the META Center, 214 W 29th Street (between 7th & 8th Aves), 16th Floor. I accept all credit cards and pre-pay via PayPal. Cash is preferred. 860-823-8605 or firstname.lastname@example.com to book.
This month I will be featured in the Artist Corner on Christiana's Psychic Cafe. Go to http://paraencountersnetwork.com at 9pm EST on Sunday, February 24. We'll be talking Tarot and debuting two all-new Mystical Frog Tarot cards!
Also: I AM SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF Golden Gate 8! Liz O is a dear friend, crazy-talented musician, and all-around amazing being. I became the Official Oracle for her band The Liz O Show a couple of years ago, when she first started this grand adventure. Now, it's finished and you should totally take a listen!
And: You may remember hearing about Hey You Know It after my first appearance on the show back in October. The brainchild of Katie Kazimir and Jaquetta Szathmari, HYKI is a great, funny dose of all things relevant (and non). We all had so much fun the first time around, I was invited to be HKYI's resident Tarotist! We just recorded a few new segments, and I will keep you posted about when my next appearance will be. In the meantime, feel free to take a listen!
Really, it is! This is the perfect time to start thinking about a springtime Metamorphosis party. These parties are a great way to get your friends together, and shake off any winter fatigue you that may have collected over the past few months. Whether you're thinking an intimate gathering of your closest confidants, or a fancy gala for 500, I will help you coordinate the perfect Tarot-based get-together for you and any number of your friends. 860-823-8605 or email@example.com for a free party consultation.
This existence is truly extraordinary. Thank you for sharing this time with me!

Hello, hello!
I hope everyone on the East Coast survived Hurricane Sandy without too much devastation/hassle. Regarding the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, here's some information you might appreciate:
Shout Out to Tarot Aid!
Tarot Aid is a brand new fundraising powerhouse that started with a desire to help out, a brilliant but hazy idea, and one brave Tarot reader in Arizona offering to head it up. After collecting more than 150 donations of readings, Tarot decks, and related items from the international Tarot community, and then 3 busy days selling raffle tickets, Tarot Aid raised over $5000 in cash for the American Red Cross! This was such an outstanding success, Tarot Aid Founders unanimously decided to do more fundraising in the future. You can find out more about Tarot Aid and how to participate here: http://www.razoo.com/story/Tarot-Aid
Did the storm affect you directly?
If so, I would like to offer you a free 20 minute phone reading, or $45 off an hour session. We'll make sure you're ok, discuss what to take from the experience and what to do next, and do some energetic rebalancing to help you cope/thrive as you pick up the pieces. OR Do you need someone to help you clean up a mess, run errands, take care of business? I know people with cars and strong arms that are looking for ways to help out. Let me know and I will do what I can to make something happen. 860-823-8605 or firstname.lastname@example.com
How else can I help?
If you sign up for a phone reading in the next month, you have the option to designate $20 of the cost to Sandy relief. My favorite organization is Occupy Sandy. You can read a really fantastic New York Times article about them here: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/11/nyregion/where-fema-fell-short-occupy-sandy-was-there.html
In related news, I LOVE this piece from The Onion. Check it out when you have a few minutes: http://www.theonion.com/articles/nation-suddenly-realizes-this-just-going-to-be-a-t,30195/ It's funny, and it also speaks to a deeper truth we most of us are only just now getting around to recognizing. And it's funny. :)
Now that the trains are all back up and running, I have the following dates available at my Chelsea office:
Saturday, November 17 & Sunday, November 18
Monday, December 3 (You read that right— a weekday!)
Saturday, December 15
And, if there is demand, Wednesday, December 19*
*Weekdays are a new thing I'm trying. If you're in the NYC area and a weekday is better for you than a weekend for an in-person reading, please let me know! I'm happy to accommodate.
Of course, if meeting at my office doesn't work for you (say you're busy these days, or you've lost your Metrocard, or you live on the other side of the country… or planet) I am always available for readings and energy healing sessions via phone or Skype. I have appointment times open 7 days a week. To schedule, call or email: 860-823-8605 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Are you interested in ongoing intuitive counseling, coaching, and guidance? I've been offering this one-on-one program on a limited basis, and am now opening it up to you! You can sign up for 2 months, 3 months or 6 months at a time. Includes regular readings, energy work, and intuitive healing sessions, along with discounted rates for additional services. We can focus on work, relationships, or special projects. Call me for additional details and we can see if the program is right for you!
(Intuitive Development and Tarot Within modules are available as well. Ask me!)
Why not make your holiday party extra special with Tarot readings or a magical ritual? I'm offering special rates if you book before December 10th. Every party booked comes with a surprise host/ess gift! Call or email for details: 860-823-8605 or firstname.lastname@example.com
What gift could be better than the gift of insight? :) Tarot readings make great holiday presents!
Here are this year's gift packages:
One for you, one for a friend: Purchase 2 readings and save up to 20% on both!
By the power of 3x3:* Save $30 on a bundle of 3 30-minute readings.
Buy in bulk and save!* (It sounds weird to apply this to Tarot readings, I know, but it works. Look!)
- Purchase four 30-minute readings and receive a fifth for $10 ($250 total)
- Buy 4 full-length readings and receive a fifth for just $20. ($400 total)
*These packages are as transferable as you want them to be. You are welcome to purchase a package and then totally decide to keep them all for yourself. I really won't mind. Your friends might, but I won't. :) If you get a reading for a friend, and she or he doesn't want it, then it's yours! Readings purchased now are good through May 1. :)
Remember, it's really important during this time of year to take care of yourself! From now until New Year's I will be offering my special 20-minute Tune-Up for $40. I'll do a long distance chakra scan and energy clearing, especially helpful when doing especially stressful things, like being alive during the holiday season, and spending time with extended family. :) Contact me for details! 860-823-8605 or email@example.com
I've had the opportunity on a couple of great radio shows and podcasts recently!
Hey You Know It is a really great comedy podcast with Jacquetta Szathmari and Katie Kazimir, who are both truly delightful people. Take a listen and you can learn a little bit about how I got started with Tarot, and hear me do a reading for Jason Bateman (he wasn't there or anything— the girls are just a little bit obsessed with him…) I encourage you to listen to their other episodes too. They are super hosts— interesting, engaging, hilarious— covering all kinds of topics— among them: zombies, cupcakes and celebrities. Including, you guessed it, Jason Bateman.
Here are the links again:
http://www.heyyouknowit.com/2012/10/21/ep-73-the-psychic-episode/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hey-you-know-it/id391008369
On Halloween, I joined the Broads (they like to be called that!) on Sirius XM, Channel 107's daily morning show Broadminded, for my 2-minute Tarot Tips. What did we learn? Among other things, two minutes is just long enough for a Tarot reading. Baaaaarely. Whenever I do these shows, I offer free follow-ups to anyone who calls in, and free mini phone readings to listeners. So, be sure to tune in in December when I am back on the air with the Broads. I will send you all the details!
AND Coming up this week!
My recent interview with Susan Lachmann for Women On Air will air this week, a few different times: Wednesday afternoon, Friday evening, Sunday night, and late Tuesday night. Go to www.facebook.com/womenonair for details and additional info.
I would love for you to listen to any or all of these (although that might honestly get to be a bit much for you). And please, let me know what you think! Super thanks to Katie Kazimir, Jaquetta Szathmari, Molly Dedham, and Susan Lachmann for having me on their shows. Ladies, you rock.
Thank you so much for taking the time to check this out/scroll down this far. I love to hear from you. Please contact me with your questions, thoughts, and feedback. As always, schedule an apppointment by calling 860-823-8605 or emailing email@example.com.
Peace and love and infinite gratitude.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any—lifted from the no
of all nothing—human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

The best day of Chubbie Rainbow Dash's life.
Barely any of the art by me, obviously.
I… I… uh
A Shiny New Banner!
Quite Great and Powerful, yes?
EDIT: After a certain response ~ changed some of the colors. Blends a little better now.
Delved deep into the mailbag for this question.
Put it off long enough, yes? Enjoy this ~ adoring fans.
Not sexy enough.
Pfft. Perhaps you'd like a more active shot.
Or you could just come join Trixie ~
The previous picture of Fluttershy was actually colored white~
The background around her is yellow. But something about it made her seem to be of a light shade of yellow as well. And the outlines almost make her mane pink to boot.
This was totally by accident (Paint bucket was set to all frames), but I'm loving this illusion ~
Or maybe it's just me.
( Brightness of your screen or something might have a factor )
Anypony else notice this?

I woke up today at a really early hour, considering my weekend standards, when I usually drag myself out of bed at two o'clock in the afternoon, with a throbbing head and swearing to God (if there's one) that I won't drink anymore. But this Saturday I actually surprised myself and, driven by the insane intent of making "Banana Bread", I got up, full of sober energy, with a feeling that was quite far from my familiar hangover state.
But why have I suddenly decided to start baking, after 25 years spent with an idiosyncratic feeling towards the art of cooking? The first reason is that, since I'm getting old, I've started thinking that all this eating fast food and junk food will sooner or later drive me to an early death. The second one is connected to my effort of trying to get over my Peter Pan syndrome that has always made me think that cooking activities are something that only adults do. The third reason, is the perception that maybe I should reconsider my feminist misconception that spending time at the stove is something for ladies above suspicion.
That said, why the hell Banana Bread? Well, first of all I bloody love the taste of banana and second of all, I had a bunch of bananas that were likely to go off in a couple of days. But the main reason, which I probably should have mentioned first thing, is that last night, totally absorbed in a nostalgic, Rock 'n Roll mood, I found myself looking for compilations from the 60s and ended up listening to "The Velvet Underground and Nico" released in 1967.
Now, for some inexplicable neuronal connection, inside my already "shaken brain", the vision of that blinding yellow, Andy Warhol banana on the cover of the album, has made me think of my "deep love" for bananas. So why not make a banana cake, with my far too ripe bananas?! I know you probably don't give a shit about all this talking about these yellow fruits and I'm pretty sure that as radical as Andy Warhol was, it is quite unlikely that he was thinking of inspiring people to make cakes, while he was working in his studios "The Factory", on the album cover of "TheVelvet Underground and Nico".
And, I have even more concerns about the fact that The Velvet Underground had either cakes, or bananas, or damned banana bread, in their minds while they were writing "Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man when I put a spike into my vein" in their song "Heroin". Still, this immersion in one of the music masterpieces of all times, has eventually given me the inspiration to make a cake and I've spent this early Saturday morning baking to the tune of "I'll be your mirror" and "Little Sister".
This, my dear readers is the result. Not bad at all, for an alcoholic, neophyte cook like me. As far as I am concerned, Music, always works as the best inspirational thing ever.

The Signal Center is developing a first-of-its-kind doctrinal field manual that defines Signal-support tactics, techniques and procedures for the brigade combat team. What makes this manual different from all other Signal field manuals is that itll provide a single-source reference for Signal and non-Signal soldiers on how they can use the full range of information technology within BCT to better accomplish their mission.
Eight functional areas of Signal-support operations are being consolidated in this TTP: mobile-subscriber equipment, tactical Internet, enhanced position-location reporting system, combat-net radio, satellite, tactical messaging systems, spectrum management and network-management operations.
This consolidations objective is to focus specifically on how Signal support enables the command, control, communications and computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities of the BCTs operational and organizational plan.
The Signal Centers commander and Training and Doctrine Commands deputy commander for BCT transformation determined an initial draft of the doctrinal TTP manual was to be provided by Feb. 28. This coincides with initial equipment fielding in BCT, as well as initiation of extensive soldier and collective unit-training-support programs.
To expedite the process and stay on this time schedule, our intent is to capture the digital TTP lessons-learned from the first digitized divisions fielding at Fort Hood, Texas, and insert those lessons-learned into an initial draft.
Between this March and February 2001, the initial draft will be updated and refined as BCT matures. The Signal Centers doctrine branch, combat-developments directorate, will use a team of three doctrine developers to write the required TTP coordinating drafts on a real-time, on-station basis. In direct coordination with the assigned brigade Signal company and BCT command-and-staff elements, the team will capture and document the techniques and procedures that best enable BCT C4ISR capabilities.
Based on BCT transformation milestones, theres minimum of five known updates to the coordinating draft TTP. As the BCT refines go-to-war mission requirements during field-training exercises, the Signal-support TTP will be continuously improved across the eight functional areas of Signal-support operations. Following is a milestone listing for developing Signal support TTP for BCT operations:
Phase One: initial "composite" draft TTP manual, Dec. 27, 1999-Feb. 28, 2000
|Formulate initial digital TTP for brigade Signal company based on developmental doctrine and TTP products;

Tensions flared Friday evening at the annual Arab International Festival in Dearborn as members of some Christian missionary groups — including one called the Bible Believers — taunted Arab Americans with a pig's head and signs that promoted hatred of Islam.
"You're gonna burn in hell," one missionary shouted at a group of young Arab-American boys listening to him speak on Warren Avenue, where the festival takes place.
The festival continues today in Dearborn, but the members of the Bible Believers won't be there because they'll be protesting a gay festival in Ohio, said Arab Festival organizers.
The three-day festival is the largest public gathering of Arab-Americans in the U.S.; it has drawn Christian missionaries for years, but in 2009, some become more aggressive, leading to arrests and legal feuds. Dearborn has the highest concentration of Arab-Americans in the U.S., many of them Muslim, making it a magnet for some Christian missionaries.
The Bible Believers also protested at last year's Arab Festival, holding up both anti-Muslim and anti-Catholic signs and causing one Arab-American Muslim girl to cry.
What a great way to make us feel welcome in America. Let's assume all Arabs are Muslim, and let's assume a festival which does nothing more than celebrate our food, our music, and our heritage is really all just about how we're dirty heathens in need of being "saved."
If those protestors think that their actions were anything short of blatant racism, they're as stupid as they are cruel. Dearborn is an Arab neighborhood, and what these "protestors," did is nothing different than crashing a neighborhood block party simply because "omg look they're not as white as most of us."
Way to make us feel unsafe where we live.
Seriously, protest groups, stop fucking with my state and the people living in my state. Our legislative bodies are...

I Dream Of You Lyrics
I dream of you more than you dream I do,How can I prove to you this love is real? You're mean to me more than you mean to be,You just can't seem to see the way I feel.When I am close to you, the world is far away,The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to sayI want you so, more than you'll ever know,More than you dream I do, I dream of you.

Rirkrit Tiravanija
Since the early 1990s Rirkrit Tiravanija has aligned his artistic production with an ethic of social engagement, often inviting viewers to inhabit and activate his work. Prioritizing the experiential and participatory over the self-contained object, he blurs the lines between Conceptual, performance, and installation art. In one of his most well-known series, Tiravanija rejected traditional art objects altogether and instead cooked and served food for exhibition visitors. His work recalls Joseph Beuys's conception of performance as social sculpture and facilitates interactions between viewers that, although simple and playful, can demonstrate the necessary foundation for community-based political actions. For The Land (begun in 1998), a collaborative artistic, architectural, and environmental recovery project in Sanpatong, Thailand, residents and artists are welcomed to use a plot of land as a laboratory for development—cultivating rice, building sustainable houses, or channeling solar power.
Because they insist upon the viewer's participation, Tiravanija's interventions are contingent upon their context. The variability of his works across international borders maps the global expansion of the art world and mirrors the nomadic nature of the artist's own life. The son of a Thai diplomat, Tiravanija was born in Buenos Aires, raised in Thailand, Ethiopia, and Canada, and with studios around the world, sustains a peripatetic lifestyle.
While people remain central to his work, several of his projects incorporate reimagined physical structures or in his words, "parallel spaces" that operate as platforms for quotidian activity. Many of these spaces appropriate and transform the austere vocabulary of modernist architecture such as in Untitled: 1997 (Glass House) (1997). Erected in the Museum of Modern Art's sculpture garden, this work is a child-size version of Philip Johnson's famed Glass House (1949). Similarly, untitled 2002 (he promised) is a chrome and steel structure inspired by the modernist architect Rudolf M. Schindler's iconic Kings Road House in West Hollywood. While the structure exemplifies the spatial fluidity of Schindler's open-plan design, the reflective surfaces used to replace the wood and concrete of the original create what Tiravanija describes as "a multifaceted image of reality," enlivening and multiplying the activities taking place in and around the work. When installed, it becomes an arena for a variety of programs, including DJ sessions, film screenings, panels, and children's workshops. In search of a shared utopia of experience, this work, as all in Tiravanija's oeuvre, reconstructs space as a living organism, susceptible and amenable to the flux of participation.

Let's make a dealOctober 18,2013Well, um, yippee.
Wow. Congress has decided it won't trigger a global financial crisis out of pure pique. Can't get any better than that.
Plus, the government is going to be funded until after the holidays. Halloween is going to be so terrific.
Important Halloween note: When you're thinking about party costumes, forget going as Sen. Ted Cruz. Everybody will be going as Ted Cruz. (Consider going as Rep. Ted Yoho. You would need a name tag, but "Ted Yoho" would be so worth it.)
Even in defeat, Cruz was in the limelight Wednesday. "It is heartbreaking to the American people that Senate Republicans divided as they did," he told his colleagues, demonstrating an unshakable confidence in his capacity to peer into the national mind.
Earlier, in a news conference, he announced: "Unfortunately, once again, it appears the Washington establishment is refusing to listen to the American people." There have been about 9 million polls taken since the government shutdown, all of which showed the American people shrieking do not shut down the government! Where do you think Ted Cruz gets his information about public opinion? Twitter, that's where. There is nothing so dangerous to national well-being as an extremist with a smartphone.
Also, he keeps pointing out that 2 million people signed an online petition to defund Obamacare. Two million people is approximately 0.6 of 1 percent of the U.S. public. Two million is also about the number of Twitter followers for Adam Lambert, the runner-up for the 2009 season of "American Idol."
OK, I'm done complaining.
Let's think positive. Americans want to get back to normal. We want to admire the fall foliage and plan for Thanksgiving and complain about Congress' failure to pass a farm bill. There is nothing we find more attractive than the sight of a bipartisan majority, holding hands to kick the budgetary can down the road.
As Congress began debate on the new get-out-of-this-ditch plan, the Senate devoted most of its time to a celebration of that sudden blossoming of bipartisanship. "I was wondering why I came to the United States Senate," confessed Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota. Heitkamp claimed she had despaired over the behavior of her colleagues until she joined a group of 14 Republicans and Democrats working on proposals to restart the government. None of their specific proposals actually got passed, but everyone except the tea party praised their team spirit.
Besides Heitkamp, the group included both senators from Maine and New Hampshire. Perhaps people from cold places have a greater appreciation of the advantages of coming together.
The House whipped through its approval with virtually no comment. There is nothing more efficient than a sullen majority. Democrats said a few lukewarm words about the agreement. "It does have my support as a means to an end," said Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Good work in repressing the temptation to gloat, House Democrats!
It was the outcome Tea Party conservatives had theoretically feared — Democrats and moderates ascendant. But, by the end, most of them seemed sort of grateful for a way out. The Republican caucus gave House Speaker John Boehner a standing ovation, which really did suggest that he'd been exceptionally canny in the way he played his cards. And it only required 16 days of government shutdown to put him on firm political footing.
About the plan: Everything goes back to normal and all the fights get postponed until early next year. Meanwhile, a House-Senate conference committee will try to agree on a budget. This is basically the same House-Senate conference committee that the Senate Democrats have tried to create nearly two dozen times over the past seven months. The Republicans resisted, arguing that it all might be a trick to raise the debt ceiling. Which is now being raised. So it's fair, if you have the urge, to say that this whole ordeal has been for nothing whatsoever.
Any further consideration of what is going to happen with Congress and budgets would require bringing up the sequester issue. Sequester is incredibly important, but, really, we've already been through a lot lately and I believe a rest is in order.
Instead, discuss the following: Would you say that Congress is more like the movie "Gravity" (government employees helplessly adrift in space) or the movie "Captain Phillips" (hero trapped in small, sweaty place with unstable people waving guns)?
I am going for "Captain Phillips," which has Tom Hanks stuck in a lifeboat-capsule with three Somali pirates: the navigator who does not know how to steer, the strongman who keeps shrieking and threatening everybody, and a nice kid who is in way over his head.
Obviously, we the people get the Tom Hanks role. Everybody likes Tom Hanks. I will allow you to attach congressional identities to each pirate. Feel free to bring up Ted Cruz.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Totally Not Cancelled
The bitter stew that is internet rage hit boiling point when Kotaku reported that an anonymous source tipped them off about Versus XIII being shit-canned. The continued absence of the title from several major gaming expos paired with a — so far — six year development span was enough to convince the press and fans alike that the rumor was true.
But who better to squash a vicious, nearly sentient rumor than Square Enix, the game's publisher and financer? The company's president, Yoichi Wada, took to Twitter (a veritable spring of information for people that are quick to fire "tl;dr" at anything and everything), and outright confirmed Versus XIII was alive, kicking, and well into production. "Just a minute ago, the regular Versus meeting ended. If you saw the presentation of the city, it'd knock you off your feet," Tweets Wada, after laughing off the damnable rumor.
Well, this series certainly dodged a bullet. If you're a casual spectator and are curious, mayhaps even confused, as to why you heard a dull roar the moment this very spin-offy sounding title flashed a red warning light, then I'll try to be brief: Final Fantasy Versus XIII has smacked of ambition the moment it was announced. Straying away from the more traditional aspects you'd find in this RPG franchise, Versus roots its gameplay in a freer, more realistic style that harkens to Kingdom Hearts to a degree but draws inspiration from other titles like Mass Effect both graphically and in how you interact with the world and its inhabitants.
And unlike its forefathers, Versus looks to put unprecedented control (for an RPG) right in your hands. Battles unfold in real-time and don't take place in confined spaces — you'll fight in the streets, on rooftops, anywhere you can get hit. Plus, the whole package — or what we've briefly seen of it — is visually astounding, evoking comparisons to Square's CG films more so than any of games carrying the XIII moniker. It's a major shift in direction and a bold gamble for a series that has grown especially stale this generation.
Square Enix swears they have something special cooking for September 1st's Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary presentation. Even if a bare minimum is shown or announced there, new rumors have it that the Tokyo Game Show exhibition taking place at the end of that month may be our first satisfying Versus blowout. Time will tell. I'm simply stoked this project isn't dead.
Is Final Fantasy Versus XIII Our New XV?
Originally a part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis family tree of Final Fantasy games, Versus XIII has been in development longer than our President has been in office. Sporadic trailers and screen have appeared over the last six years but every new detail comes with huge intervals of complete silence. Versus XIII has become the white whale of JRPG's, fans all but giving up hope they'd see the mythical beast break the water's surface and arise from the depths of development hell.
With E3 a weekend's hurdle away, strung-along Versus XIII fans may be in for a surprise announcement next week if this leaked video is anything to be believed. Supposedly captured during Square Enix's pre-E3 conference held behind closed doors on May 30th, the footage depicts a trailer for Versus XIII spotted with familiar imagery including the game's broody main, Noctis.
Apparently the trailer's nothing new — it being comprised of an older trailer — but what's sure to grab fans' attention is the fact that Square Enix branded the demo reel with a Final Fantasy XV logo followed by PS3 and Wii U icons, confirming which consoles the game's coming to. Let me reformulate that for you: Versus XIII is alive and well, and it's now our new Final Fantasy XV.
Gauge your feelings and center yourself; we're not sure this is real until Square Enix is sure we're sure. Still, a lot of the rumors whizzing around these days and smacking forums, blogs, and press outlets are either being outright confirmed by companies or have enough evidence to support them where we don't need no stinkin' confirmations. But I especially hope this one's legitimate. Versus XIII, XV, Chocobo Chronicles — it matters little what they call it, I just want this very unique and long-in-the-making RPG to finally happen already.
Oh, and also have it blow my mind hard enough to fragment my skull. Simple request.

Brief Biography
Jennifer Cassano grew up in Valley Stream, NY, right next to Queens at the beginning of Long Island. As an undergraduate, she became interested in adding the idea of becoming a teacher to her dream of being a veterinarian. Her undergraduate research thesis involved a project using genetics, immunology, and virology to analyze equine sarcoid. She applied to the dual degree program to realize her dream of combining her passions for veterinary medicine, teaching, and research. Since beginning the program, she has completed her laboratory rotations and will be completing her veterinary degree in May. She will be joining Dr. Lisa Fortier's lab full time this summer with the support of the college's Graduate Research Assistantship. She is an alumna of the Cornell Veterinary Investigator Program and the Cornell Leadership Program.
She enjoys horseback riding, running with her dog Riley and playing fetch with her toothless cat Tegan. She has been involved in a large community singing group in the university called Chorale for many years. She loves Ithaca, from the gorges to the farmers market, where there is nothing better than breakfast burritos, except perhaps the flatbread pizza.
BS in Animal Science, Magna Cum Laude, Distinction in Research, Cornell University 2009
Research Interests
Jennifer is currently researching the role of immunology in relation to equine mesenchymal stem cells in the Fortier laboratory. By using the horse as a model, she is looking how manipulating the immunological environment of stem cells impacts their ability to facilitate healing.

Kimberly Renee
Kimberly Renee aka Reel Sista is a film lover and bibliophile who was born and raised in Charlotte, NC, found her way in Durham, NC and was fortified in the DC, MD, VA area.
When she was a kid she saw the movie musical Little Shop of Horrors and fell in love instantly. And while she was mesmerized by the gigantic singing plant, Kimberly wanted to know more about the three black girls walking through the scenes and singing in the background. What was their story? That was the moment that she became concerned with seeing women of color on the big screen.
Kimberly is a writer and a self- proclaimed nerd, whose interests include the image of African American women in popular culture and literature. Kimberly's inspiration comes from all forms of the written word: "Well-written television and movies, books, magazines, and song lyrics…I love it all. I know that a well turned phrase can change a life." Self-definition is very important to her. So Kimberly according to Kimberly is "a womanist, an idealist, a scholar, a writer, sometimes transgressive, sometimes controversial, always creative and always sarcastic." Each day she strives to live outside of the box.
There are hundreds of folks out there blogging, each looking to say something. Kimberly is grabbing a seat at the table and joining the conversation. But she wants to take it a step further. With Reel Sistas, Kimberly hopes to inspire, empower, uplift, and support women of color both in front of and behind the camera in the film and television industry.
Reel Sistas is on For Harriet's list of 45 must follow Tumblr blogs. Additionally, Kimberly was recently quoted on the blog Profanity May Be Necessary. Kimberly is also one of the co-hosts of Cinema in Noir on Blog Talk Radio. Cinema in Noir is a weekly podcast that features "unabashed film talk from three mahogany film mavens." The women give their thoughts and opinions on the film industry from a black female perspective.
Reel Sistas is dedicated to bridging the gap between the women of color who want to see themselves, their mothers, their sisters, their daughters and their friends reflected on the screen and the women working to make it happen. This blog is a celebration of all that it means to be a woman of color in film and television.

Steven Harkins of Melted Toys made us a mix.
Steven Harkins is the lead singer/guitarist of the San Francisco glistening pop-trio Melted Toys. Their Washed & Dried EP (Underwater Peoples) has been the subject of so many blogs, articles, and my own personal record player. The trio's drum-machine driven sound wavers between Peter Hook-esque bass scales and pseudo-psychedelic neon-guitar notes. Melted Toys played our party with Jonas Reinhardt in early April, and all the kraut-nerds kept asking, "Where did you find these guys?" The mystery of guys begged more questions about their sounds and origins. So we were stoked when they agreed submit a mix. Harkins explains "I grew up listening to half of these songs when my mom would play her records on Sundays, so they're very close to my heart. I hope you dig!"
