Conservation groups debate accepting donations from industryBy KEVIN BEGOS
THE Associated Press | November 24,2012PITTSBURGH As a natural gas drilling boom sweeps Pennsylvania and other states, conservation groups are debating whether it makes sense to work with the industry to minimize impacts to the environment and whether to accept industry donations.
The big question is how to deal with this overwhelming impact, said Phil Wallis, executive director of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Audubon Society, adding that the industry in general, is interested in resolving these issues.
The drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has made it possible to tap into deep reserves of oil and gas but has also raised concerns about pollution. Large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas.
Over the past five years thousands of new wells have been drilled across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, and hundreds of miles of pipeline have been laid to transport the gas to market. And thats just a snapshot of a similar boom in Texas, Colorado and other states.
Wallis and the Pennsylvania Audubon chapter discovered that even casual conversations with the drilling industry can generate controversy.
In August, Audubon partnered with the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, and the Ruffed Grouse Society to hold a series of gatherings for birdwatchers, anglers, hunters and hikers to ask questions about drilling. The meetings didnt attract much notice until it emerged that some had discussed whether the industry might donate $30 million to set up an endowment to fund research on drilling impacts.
The idea of donations came up several times, said Don Williams, a Harleysville, Pa. resident.
It caught me completely off guard. I see that as somehow basically latching on and riding the coattails of the industry, Williams said. The message itself bothered me.
After Williams wrote a blog post about the meeting, Audubon quickly responded that there had been no decision to seek gas drilling donations. Wallis said the $30 million was just a hypothetical number about funding a research project on drilling that a number of conservations groups might provide staff for.
Williams said a representative of Chesapeake Energy was at the meeting, acting as more of a general industry representative. Chesapeake spokesman Rory Sweeny declined to comment on whether the company is donating to any environmental groups.
Two more public meetings with outdoor groups are scheduled for December, said Steve Forde, a spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition.
The sportsmen and conservation communities are an important part of Pennsylvanias heritage and key partners in responsible shale gas development, Forde wrote in an email. But he added that the coalition hasnt discussed donations with any of the outdoor groups that helped set up the sessions.
Its a sensitive issue. Earlier this year, the Sierra Club acknowledged that from 2007 to 2010 it had secretly accepted more than $26 million from individuals or subsidies connected to Chesapeake. After deciding it would no longer take such donations, the group launched a campaign that is critical of the gas drilling industry.
Environmental groups and some scientists say there hasnt been enough research on water and air pollution issues that stem from drilling. The industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly, and that many rules on air pollution and disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking are being strengthened.
Sitting down with people in the gas drilling industry makes sense, said Mark Brownstein, the chief counsel for the energy program at the Environmental Defense Fund.
If environmental groups who are both passionate and knowledgeable fail to engage the natural gas industry, who will? Brownstein asked. If we simply sit and protest, were missing an opportunity to create stronger regulations.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON While Republicans in Congress shout, Repeal Obamacare, GOP governors in many...

Well, dear readers, it was a busy end of summer and beginning to fall. Since LoziLu, I've had a half marathon, some great fun runs and a handful of virtual runs as well. I will definitely be writing some event reviews to catch up, but it will have to wait until next week, as I am heading down to Disney World tomorrow for the Wine & Dine Half! This is one race that I've been looking forward to for months, especially since I'm traveling down there with three of my favorite running friends.
The other huge news that I have is that I am running the 2014 Boston Marathon! And of course, I'm running with my favorite charity, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I will have lots of updates to share, and I am going to be focused on blogging this whole experience, even if only for my benefit.
As always, thank you for reading & I'll see you on the roads!

Buddy shot of Kes and The Doctor. Purchased directly from actor Robert Picardo in 2002. One of the best methods of buying an autograph of someone not present; buying them from their former cast mate whose splitting the proceeds of such sales with the actor who pre-signed.

Completed (+2) Season 6 Cast Photo from Star Trek: Voyager.
I started this cast photo in March of 2000, when I met Tim Russ and Garrett Wang. The photo was at that time brand new, from that current in-progress season. I then met Robbie McNeill, Roxann Dawson, Bob Picardo and Ethan Phillips that summer (2000). Kate Mulgrew the following summer (2001), right after Voyager had ended. Robert Beltran in 2005 (or was it 2006?) - which is also when I got Dwight Schultz (Reg Barclay) to sign it. I do that. I get repeat guest actors to sign my cast photos, because… I just do, lol. I forget exactly when I got Richard Herd (Admiral Paris) to do likewise; but he signed it for free. I think he liked the idea of being included. :) Finally, the summer of 2010 saw Jeri Ryan make a rare convention appearance. Even rarer was that it was in my neck of the woods, the East Coast. Jennifer Lien was also going to be there, but cancelled at the last moment.
A 10 Year Journey to Completion.
I still have a season 3 photo, which features Kes, that is in need of her signature only to be complete. I have no guest stars on that one, but if I ever saw Martha Hackett (Seska) I would get her to sign such.

The third time I met Bob Picardo, it was at a much smaller venue and so I folks could take a little more time, and I decided to be bold and ask for a very specific inscription. It was one of the first times I've ever requested such a thing. :) Turned out well, I'd say…
My ultimate inscribed autograph would be if I could get Leonard Nimoy to sign "live long and prosper" but I doubt such will ever occur. Especially what with his retirement from conventions. I've met him twice, luckily. Neither time afforded an oppurtunity for such a request though.

Opening Reception: Saturday, Sept 3rd, 7:00pm-11:00pm. Show runs Sept 3rd thru 25th, 2011.
Known for his strong and sensuous depictions of women, Brian M. Viveros is a master of contemporary iconography paying homage to the femme fatale. While he almost exclusively paints portraits, within the expressions of his women is conveyed such deep emotion and overwhelming sexuality that his work is undeniably erotic. Often without even a hint of nudity, the viewer is seduced with a mere pout and gaze from his subject's faces.
In what will be Brian's second showing at the gallery, the opening will feature an all new collection of original paintings, as well as special rare prints from the artist's own collection; poster giveaway and signing; live "Smoking Army" performance; screening of Brian's films along with his new short, and much more.

Lingfield Notre Dame's extracurricular programme provides a stimulating, challenging and exciting environment for all students and is intended to enhance their all-round education.
We have numerous extra-curricular clubs on offer, taking place both at lunchtime and after school.
These activities are tailored to suit each age group and vary from arts and crafts to sporting and practical activities and have been designed to assist students develop their hobbies, strengths and skills. They also teach the students the necessary skills of how to work on their own using their initiative and also as part of a team.
Many students, who wish to experience adventure and take up a challenge, seize the opportunity to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. Students can start with their Bronze award and progress through to the Gold award, which teaches vital life skills and adds substance to their CV's. There are numerous expeditions including an annual Sixth Form trip to Morocco.
Students travel abroad on day trips or longer with various departments further developing their interests and personalities. Recent trips have included our regular Geographical trip, History and Art expeditions, language excursions, our annual ski trip and numerous sports tours, the most recent being a Football tour to Holland. We are also greatly looking forward to our forthcoming Cricket and Netball tour to Barbados in April 2014.
As part of this vibrant extracurricular programme we have a termly sign up system where we encourage our pupils to attend at least three lunchtime extracurricular clubs during our extended lunchtimes which are 80 minutes in duration. Pupils can do more activities should they so wish, and we encourage them to do so where possible. We have almost 100 activities to choose from which you can see form our list below.
We believe it is important that our students should be aware of those less fortunate than themselves. Our School charity changes each year and offers new challenges to develop and put into practice ideas for money-raising ventures. We also provide opportunities for the older students to help with community projects both at home and abroad.
Embracing all that we offer at Lingfield, our young men and women will leave us ready to face the increasingly international employment market with confidence and a strong set of values and integrity.

The odds of me ever getting married or having another baby are about 1 in a million, so chances are I'll never get to use this new barcode app that just came across my desk. But if some such obscure scenario were to arise, I would so be scanning my gifts into SimpleRegistry. You can bet on that.
With the SimpleRegistry iPhone and iPod App, SimpleRegistry.com members can visit any store in the world, scan a barcode or snap a photo, and add the item to their registry. You can have a registry for whatever you want: wedding, baby, fundraising, etc.
Obviously, the upside to this is that you get to scan barcodes. Ok, well that and you can register items at as many stores as you like; the company reported that one couple used their iPhones to register items from twenty-seven different stores. From the website you can add anything you can think of to the registry: skydiving, puppies, Tahitian vacation, tummy tuck. Which leads me to the downside. You don't actually receive any gifts. You get cash (a bank check or transfer). Maybe its just me, but isn't the fun/benefit of the registry getting to open all those big, garish gifts and not having to trot around town to twenty-seven different stores to get all the stuff you need? If I got one fat check instead of gifts, that check would go right into savings, and I'dforget all about that $200 Creuset baking dish I thought I needed. However, as a gift-giver, I would much rather spend 5 minutes online plugging in my VISA information than pouring over table linens at Saks.
The SimpleRegistry iPhone App is available for free at the App Store.
SimpleRegistry App Key Features:
The SimpleRegistry app syncs via Wi-Fi or the user's cellular network to manage their registry instantaneously.

Torn -Casablanca, rustic kitchen, sel de la terre?
My mom's bday is coming up and I'd like to take her some place she hasn't been. I've taken her to Oleana's, Grotto, navy yard bistro, and evoo, and she's loved all of them.
Huge meat/seafood fan, likes a slight twist on dishes but nothing too out there. Service is also highly important to her.
I'm stuck on the drool worthy pics of some of the dishes and can't decide. Which would you pick between Casablanca, Rustic Kitchen, and Sel de la Terre?
Thanks for any help!
re: pollystyrene
The only experiences I've had at Rustic were at the now-closed Porter Square location, and they never seemed to get much right-- the food always sounded great on the menu but was only so-so on the plate. I don't know if the other locations suffered the same problems or still do.
Haven't been to Sel de la Terre, but I have to disagree with polly about Casablanca-- multiple times over the years, it's been good-- not great, but very solid, great atmosphere with a somewhat unique variety of appealing dishes. The service is good, and it's a good birthday choice. Try the Ana's short ribs.
re: pollystyrene
I go to Casablanca often and find it to be pretty solid. I think I might go too often to be impressed anymore but it's worth checking out if you haven't been. Not sure I'd pick it for a celebration/special occasion.
I really like SDL. The service has always been terrific and I've always had a good meal. Not sure what's on the current menu as it's been a number of months since my last visit. I really enjoy the location too. If your mom is a good walker it's lovely to cruise around the wharfs on a nice day. Perhaps even ramble out to the ICA - did this last weekend with out of town guests and had a great day.
i agree with what everyone says about rustic kitchen, though i, too, had only been to the one in porter and found it to be really awful. casablanca is nice, steady, and pleasant, sel de la terre i found to be (ironically) too salty (though i had great fries there!). have you tried rendez-vous or craigie st. bistrot (both in cambridge)? i would really suggest those places as being more on par with places like evoo or oleana.
Of those three, Sel de la Terre is the only one I haven't tried, but still the one I'd suggest. Rustic Kitchen was just not good (though to be fair, I only went once...but my pasta was bland, bland, bland and friend didn't like his steak, either), and Casablanca was...ok (I've been for small plates a couple of times, never for dinner). I'd go back, but I'm not in a hurry.
I like Casablanca for a relaxed dinner, especially in the bar area - it isn't too formal and the food is decent (my favorite fries in Boston, greaat crunch on the outside and creamy inside, also a good burger). I've wanted to go to Sel de la Terre but have not yet.
There's a new restaurant in Huron Village that looks interesting and you might want to consider, TW Food: http://www.twfoodrestaurant.com/ It's gotten mostly good reviews on Chowhound.
I've only been to Casablanca, several times. (Actually, I went to Rustic Kitchen in Porter once, and LIKED my pizza! But that's all I had so...don't go by this.)
I don't think Casablanca is great, but I don't think Oleana and EVOO are great either. I think the food at Casablanca is good. It's a nice place to have some small plates at the bar (somewhat like Oleana), and then a relaxed meal. I'm kind of a sucker for Chimay on tap. I love the interior for some reason--it seems cozy. Never had a bad dining experience there. It sounds like a good choice to me.
Not having gone to Casablanca, if I had to choose between Sel and Rustic, I'd definitley go with Sel. We went to Rustic in Porter once, and while not an awful experience, it felt a little too hip, trendy and soul-less. Not much heart.
Sel has very nice food and the service is usually top notch, very gracious and attentive without being suffocating.
That said, I do hope to get to Casablanca one of these days. Inventive, well-balanced menu, and longevity in its favor, so I imagine you'd have a nice experience there as well.
Wherever you go, post so we can drool!
I would highly recommend Sel de la Terre...their food is amazing (whatever you do, order a side of their pomme frites) and the service is highly attentive. You'll not only have a great dinner, but numerous options for where to go from there (nice stroll along the waterfront, pastry and coffee in the north end...)
I've really liked both Casablanca and SDT. Only been to the Porter Rustic Kitchen and wasn't impressed. Both Casablanca and Sel are great summer choices because you can stroll around afterwards. Sel probably has the less "out there" menu, but if your mom liked Oleana, Casablanca should work too. I like the fact that Casablanca has lots of delish interesting small plates. That might give it the edge if your more inclined for that than big entrees. As a bonus, both have great cocktails too!
I've not been to RK, but I think Casablanca and SDT are two different animals, and I enjoy both. I find Casablanca more casual and really enjoy getting a bunch of the small plates. SDT on the other hand I consider a bit more formal ( but far from stuffy) and it has become one of my "go to" destinations when my wife and I are in the mood to dine out but don't know where. I find the food and service impeccable and consistant so for a Bday, I might lean towards SDT.
re: Food4Thought
I think SdlT would probably be best for this occasion too. I only went to RK in Porter Sq. but I don't think you can necessarily judge the new location by that one. I know some people here went to one of the show tapings and had a great time at the Park Sq. location. Casablanca is fun but as most people have said, a little more casual.
We recently had some clients in town and took them to Sel de la Terre. There were ten of us in the party total and everyone raved about their meal. Service was great and the place was very clean.
I'll chime in that I went to RK in Hingham twice, and found both times to be mediocre at best. My dad loves the most basic of pasta (spaghetti/linguini with red sauce) and even he was disappointed.

Yep, this is the founder of Planned Parenthood in all her glory. H/T I'm 41
Yep, this is the founder of Planned Parenthood in all her glory. H/T I'm 41
NYC: More Black Babies Killed By Abortion Than Born – CNS
In 2012, there were more black babies killed by abortion (31,328) in New York City than were born there (24,758), and the black children killed comprised 42.4% of the total number of abortions in the Big Apple, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The report is entitled, Summary of Vital Statistics 2012 The City of New York, Pregnancy Outcomes, and was prepared by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Vital Statistics. (See Pregnancy Outcomes NYC Health 2012.pdf)
Table 1 of the report presents the total number of live births, spontaneous terminations (miscarriages), and induced terminations (abortions) for women in different age brackets between 15 and 49 years of age. The table also breaks that data down by race – Hispanic, Asian and Pacific Islander, Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black – and also by borough of residence: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island.
The numbers show that in 2012, there were 31,328 induced terminations (abortions) among non-Hispanic black women in New York City. That same year, there were 24,758 live births for non-Hispanic black women in New York City. There were 6,570 more abortions than live births of black children.
In total, there were 73,815 abortions, which means the 31,328 black babies aborted comprised 42.4% of the total abortions.
For Hispanic women, there were 22,917 abortions in New York City in 2012, which is 31% of the total abortions.
Black and Hispanic abortions combined, 54,245 babies, is 73% of the total abortions in the Big Apple in 2012.
The number of non-Hispanic white abortions was 9,704, and the number of Asian and Pacific Islander abortions was 4,493.
The total number of live births in New York City in 2012 for women ages 15-49 was 123,231. That is a rate of 14.8 live births per 1,000 women, which is the lowest rate since 1979, according to the report. In addition, the live birth rate (per 1,000 women) has declined 3.9% since 2003, when it was a 15.4 rate, states the report. (See Pregnancy Outcomes NYC Health 2012.pdf)
In addition, while there were 73,815 abortions in New York City in 2012, the rate of abortions per 1,000 women is down 8.6% since 2011, according to the report.
Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have not published their abortion statistics for 2011 or 2012 yet, they do have data for 2010. (See Table 12.) In the CDC's numbers, there were 38,574 black babies killed by abortion in New York City in 2010; Hispanic babies aborted, 27,112; white babies killed by abortion, 9,220; and "other" aborted, 5,368. The total abortions in New York City in 2010 "reported by known race/ethnicity" were 80,274, according to the CDC.
Moral retardation? Or Moral destitution? Or maybe just the antics of a truly despicable person who is obsessed with killing babies and mocking Christianity? Stacy McCain has Sarah Silverman at her very worst,
The Daily Caller's Caroline May caught this on Friday: In a 5-minute video for "Lady Parts Justice" — the pro-abortion group she formed last year with Daily Show producer Lizz Winstead — Sarah Silverman pretends that she was visited by Jesus Christ, who told her to spread a pro-abortion message. Also, Jesus gives Silverman an orgasm:
This kind of pro-abortion fanaticism is always difficult for me to comprehend. It's hard to imagine anyone could have such a bloodthirsty enthusiasm for killing babies, but it is especially hard to believe womencould harbor this kind of monomaniacal death fetish.
There is a video at the link, but I will spare you that. There is one more thing that describes this video, and Silverman's history of mocking Christianity. It is boring frankly. Yes, we get it, you do not believe in Christianity so you mock it, wow, talk about not being cutting edge. If Silverman and her ilk REALLY want to be edgy, why don't they mock Islam? Certainly Sharia Law is much worse on women than Christianity isn't it? Honor killings, forced marriages, reducing women to little more than property. Yet Silverman remains silent on that. Talk about things that make you go hmmmm. Aleister answers my query
Do I even need to ask why Sarah Silverman never pokes fun at Islam, a faith with a less than perfect record on women's rights? I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it's because people who publicly ridicule Islam have a tendency to turn up dead.
Want to prove you're really a feminist, Sarah?
Go to Afghanistan and advocate for the right of women to learn to read like Laura Bush did.
Hold a press conference and demand that Obama pay female White House staffers the same as men.
Go to China and speak out against their one child policy, it hasn't worked out too well for female babies.
Of course, this really is not about women's rights for Silverman. this is about bashing Western culture and the Christian faith that is such a big part of American culture and heritage. Silverman is a Leftist, and Leftists despise America. America was founded on individual rights, and small government. That is what Silverman and her fellow Leftists truly loathe. To Silverman the truly evil thing is not dictatorships, or Totalitarianism. It is not the trampling of liberties either. After all our liberties come from God, and I think we can see how Silverman thinks about God. No, evil, to the Sarah Silverman's of the world is Individualism which rejects Leftism and its lies. See, Silverman IS very religious, and her religion is Collectivism. And everything between Left and Right boils down to Collectivism vs Individualism. We know what side Silverman is on don't we?
Tens Of Thousands March For End Of Abortion In Washington On Roe Anniversary (Pictures) – LifeSiteNews
Tens of thousands of pro-life activists endured frigid temperatures and a snow storm Wednesday as they gathered at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to mark the 41st anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that has prepared the way for an estimated 56 million abortions.
In past years the march has drawn crowds estimated between 400,000 and 650,000. However, the winter storm that blew through Washington on Tuesday led to cancellations of numerous buses and planes, creating a visible drop in numbers at this year's rally and march. The Philadelphia archdiocese, for instance, canceled all of their buses.
Famed Christian singer and songwriter Matt Maher was scheduled to lead music for a half hour before the rally, but his slot was cancelled because of the weather. Instead he opened and closed the rally beginning at noon.
Taking the stage to welcome the marchers shortly after noon, March for Life organizers insisted pro-lifers wouldn't be daunted by the frigid weather in D.C. "We may be freezing, but we're freezing for the best cause in the world," said Patrick Kelly, chairman of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. "No sacrifice is too great for this cause," said Jeanne Monahan, the group's newly minted president.
Speakers at the rally included Dr. James Dobson, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-MO), and Washington State Democratic Legislator Roger Freeman.
"Your faces are cold but your hearts are on fire, right?" Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, asked the crowd. He related that in 1973 he was driving home on the freeway when he learned of the Roe v. Wade decision. "I grieved over it because I knew it meant millions of babies would die," he said. "Who would've known it would be 56 million by this point 41 years later?"
Telling the story of a couple he counselled to choose life for their child, he told the crowd, "I say to you, if you're facing a similar situation, …let your baby live!" He then marvelled at the youth of the crowd. "Look at the young people who are here!" he said. "You are the hope of the future and together we're going to win this fight!"
Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-VA, who changed his flight to Israel to attend the March, thanked those present for "braving these unbelievably cold temperatures" and "giving voice to our cause of protecting life." "I believe that one day in the not too distance future our movement will be victorious because we will prevail in securing a culture of life," he said.
"You are our movement's not-so-secret weapon," he added. "Those of us in public office are merely fortunate to stand on your shoulders."
The majority leader also announced that next week, the House of Representatives "will vote once and for all to end taxpayer funding for abortions."
Vicky Hartzler, R-MO, told marchers, "We are here today to remember the millions of lives devastated with abortion and to pledge ourselves anew to upholding the most fundamental" right, "the right to life."
Noting there are 1.2 million abortion per year in the U.S., she said, "There are more babies who perish each year through abortion than people who live in an entire congressional district."
An adoptive mother, Hartzler said, "Every life is valuable and has a god ordained purpose. All babies are wanted."
Giovanna Romero of Latinas por la Vida told marchers that blacks and Hispanics are "systematically targeted by the culture of death." "Who is with me to fight the good fight?" she asked. "We are the pro-life generation and we will make a mark in history… We will make an end to abortion!"
Donna Harrison, executive director of the American Association of Pro-Life Ob/Gyns, said the front lines of the abortion battle are changing. It's no longer the clinic and the hospital, but the dorm room and campus clinic because of the promotion of emergency contraceptive drugs, which act as abortifacients. She told the youth, "you've now become the frontline in the battle against abortion."
After the noon rally on the Mall, participants marched to the Supreme Court, where post-abortion men and women from the Silent No More Awareness Campaign shared their testimony.
The rally schedule was shortened today because of the cold, with temperatures hovering around zero, the marchers are undaunted.
In a homily at Washington's National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Tuesday evening, Cardinal Sean O'Malley said the cold weather is "just perfect, because the colder it is the better our witness. They will know we are serious. That is why we are here."
"We absolutely will go on tomorrow. The March has never been canceled because of extreme temperatures, and it won't be canceled tomorrow for that reason," Jeanne Monahan, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, told the Law of Life Summit on Tuesday.
March organizers highlighted the fact that members of both parties spoke, although Republicans made a stronger showing. The Republican National Committee has said they are delaying their annual winter meeting for the March this year and have chartered a bus to bring legislators to the Mall.
The theme for this year's march is adoption, which Monahan called a "heroic decision" for women in crisis pregnancies. "We want to eliminate the stigma of adoption and encourage women to pursue this noble option," she said in a press release.
The March for Life organizers are encouraging Twitter users to use the hashtags #whywemarch and #marchforlife throughout the day.

One word, EVIL!
Abortion Barbie, AKA Wendy Davis, is a shameless liar who turned her back on her kids, and screwed her husband around, after she was done with his money of course. In other words, she is a typical self-absorbed, morally retarded, power-hungry Democratic politician! But I do not wish to suffer anyone calling her a political whore, frankly, whores do not deserve such comparisons.
ia TPNN, "Democrat Wendy Davis, Candidate for Governor of Texas, Caught in Major Lies."
And now here's Robert Stacy McCain, "Let's Slut-Shame @WendyDavisTexas!":
Smitty already took a whack at the Wendy Davis piñata today, and that's probably enough Wendy Davis bashing for the week.
She's so far down in the polls as to be hopelessly doomed. She will lose to Greg Abbott in November without any further help from us.
However, the point of mocking progressive celebrity women is not because such mockery will contribute to their electoral defeat. No, the purpose of deriding Democrat women is to inspire feminists to frothing rage over the alleged sexism of conservatives.
Heh. I love the frothing.
So, Abortion Barbie is a liar? I'm shocked — shocked, I tell you!

Report: Wendy Davis's real 'Texas Story'http://t.co/b1q0gzu3v9 via @dailycaller
— Leslee Andersen (@bookgirl8) January 20, 2014
"Over time, the Davises' marriage was strained. In November 2003, Wendy Davis moved out. Jeff Davis said that was right around the time the final payment on their Harvard Law School loan was due. 'It was ironic,' he said. 'I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left.' . . . In his initial divorce filing, Jeff Davis said the marriage had failed, citing adultery on her part . . ."
– Dallas Morning News
It would seem Davis's story of overcoming, and pulling herself up by her bootstraps, etc. is, well, to put it nicely nothing but bovine excrement! So, as McCain notes, since Davis supporters will accuse us of mysoginy no matter what we say, and no matter what the facts are, let's have some fun!
Conservatives are going to be slammed as misogynists no matter what we say or do, so we might as well have some fun and try to do something that will provoke a wildly unhinged Amanda Marcotte rant.
Most of the resentment over Wendy Davis's fudging of her biography —"My language should be tighter," she admitted to the Dallas Morning News — is focused on her depiction of herself as a struggling "single mom," despite the way she hooked up with an older sugar daddy when she was 21, married him when she was 24, moved into a posh neighborhood, and got him to pay her way through Harvard Law. Then Wendy left him with custody not only of the daughter they'd had together, but also with her daughter from her first marriage.
Not to be judgmental or anything, but that's scarcely the tale of hardship and woe that wins much sympathy from actual single moms, many of whom are conservative women, and disinclined to RSVP to the Wendy Davis Feminist Victimhood Pity Party.
I would love to introduce @WendyDavisTexas to my mother so she can hear a real story of a former hard-off single mom who overcame odds.

Of course, what did we expect from a publicity seeking politician who champions the "right" to kill a baby in the womb as the ultimate right? Did we really expect things like family, or parenthood, or marriage vows to mean a damned thing to Wendy Davis? The only things that matter to her is her own power, and doing whatever it takes to increase that power.

WBW 56 – Kosher Wine review
It's time for another Wine Blogging Wednesday installment. This month's topic comes from The Cork Dork, and he's picked Kosher Wines, to coincide with month's celebration of the Jewish holiday of Passover. For those of you who aren't Jewish, please don't turn away. Aside from the possible relation of Jesus' Last Supper as a Passover Seder (dinner), these wines are not just Kosher, they're pretty darned good.

Math Word Problems for Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Study Guide
Many of the math problems on tests are word problems. A word problem can include any kind of math, including simple arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, even algebra and geometry.
The hardest part of any word problem is translating English into math. When you read a problem, you can frequently translate it word for word from English statements into mathematical statements. At other times, however, a key word in the word problem hints at the mathematical operation to be performed. Here are the translation rules:
Distance Formula: Distance = Rate x Time
The key words are movement words like: plane, train, boat, car, walk, run, climb, swim.
- How far did the plane travel in 4 hours if it averaged 300 miles per hour?
- d = 300 × 4
- d = 1,200 miles
- Ben walked 20 miles in four hours. What was his average speed?
- 20 = r × 4
- 5 miles per hour = r
Solving a Word Problem Using the Translation Table
Remember the problem at the beginning of this chapter about the jellybeans?
- Example: Juan ate of the jellybeans. Maria then ate of the remaining jellybeans, which left 10 jellybeans. How many jellybeans were there to begin with?
- 60
- 90
- 120
- 140
We solved it by working backward. Now let's solve it using our translation rules.
Assume Juan started with J jellybeans. Eating of them means eating jellybeans. Maria ate a fraction of the remaining jellybeans, which means we must subtract to find out how many are left: Maria then ate , leaving of the jellybeans, or jellybeans. Multiplying out gives J as the number of jellybeans left. The problem states that there were 10 jellybeans left, meaning that we set equal to 10:
Solving this equation for J gives J = 60. Thus, the right answer is a (the same answer we got when we worked backward). As you can see, both methods—working backward and translating from English to math—work. You should use whichever method is more comfortable for you.
Practice Word Problems
You will find word problems using fractions, decimals, and percentages in those sections of this chapter. For now, practice using the translation table on problems that just require you to work with basic arithmetic.
- Amir went shopping with $250 and returned home with only $33.56. How much money did he spend?

- $218.54
- Mark invited ten friends to a party. Each friend brought three guests. How many people came to the party, excluding Mark?
- 3
- 10

Buy Ricoh Compact Digital Cameras.
The latest in Ricoh's line of enthusiast-focused compacts with bright, fixed focal length lenses, the Ricoh GR continues the trend of prividing outstanding image quality within a conventional compact camera body.
Housing an APS-C sized 16 Megapixel CMOS type image sensor behind a bright f/2.8 lens, the GR can capture incredible detail due to the lack of an optical low-pass filter preventing the sensor from making the most of the lens capabilities. The compact, high-performance GR lens has a fixed focal length of 18.3mm, equivalent to 28mm in the 35mm format. This relatively wide focal length allows the most versatility, with the bright aperture making it ideal for indoor and low-light photography, as well as being wide enough to capture beautiful landscapes and everyday scenes.Full Details

Warfarin and Coronary Calcification Project (WACC)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study is to assess whether the use of warfarin, a commonly used anticoagulation drug, is associated with increased amounts of coronary artery calcification. Studies in animals and preliminary but small retrospective studies in humans have suggested a possible link to increased tissue calcification with use of this drug. The researchers will investigate this by assessing the amount of calcification seen in the coronary arteries using a specialized computed tomography (CT) scan (electron-beam CT) and assessing to see if the amount is influenced by the amount of time a patient has been taking warfarin. The researchers will exclude patients with known coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease or hyperparathyroidism.
Coronary Calcification
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Warfarin and Coronary Calcification Project
- Coronary Calcification (Presence and Degree as Measured by Agatston Score) Attributed to Duration of Warfarin Use in Months After Controlling for Standard Cardiovascular Risk Factors to Include the Framingham Risk Score [ Time Frame: EBCT scan is done at time of enrollment of patient into 1 of 3 groups based on warfarin use duration: <6 months; 6-24 months; >24 mos. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Agatston score is calculated using a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan to measure for the presence and severity of coronary artery disease through identification of calcification in the coronary arteries. Scores can range from 0 to several thousands. The measure is without units. Score categories are as follows: 0 = no coronary disease; 1-100 = low amount of coronary artery disease; 101-400 = moderately elevated score / moderate coronary artery disease; 401-1000 = severely elevated score; >1000 very severely elevated score. Higher Agatston scores corelate with more coronary artery disease and predict a higher risk of coronary heart disease events and mortality.
- International Normalized Ratio [ Time Frame: EBCT scan is done at time of enrollment of patient into 1 of 3 groups based on warfarin use duration: <6 months; 6-24 months; >24 mos. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a standardized lab value that measures the intensity of anticogulation using warfarin. It is used to monitor patients taking warfarin.
