Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
My blind date with Lady Death…
So, Patti, we finally meet! I must say you look different from your Internet photo, but I guess everybody touches up their picture a little, don't they?
We could have gotten together sooner, but since you have this thing about only going out at night… Amazing that you work all day long, seven days a week. Bummer!
May I say how nice your hair looks, even though, you know, it seems to be drawn on with a Magic Marker. Somebody did a great job of staying in the lines!
I ordered you shrimp scampi. It's their specialty here, and… Oh. Allergic to garlic? Sorry.
Putting the sass back into assassination?
Blog Guy, I know you've helped a lot of people with fashion requests.
Well, a bunch of us gals have formed a death squad. You know, nothing fancy, just small assassinations, some vigilante bake sales, Tupperware incursions into blue states, stuff like that.
Of course, we'd like to look good – we're about being sassy, not slovenly, and we may run into some hunky guys in a male death squad. Any ideas? By the way, don't even TRY finding out who we are!
Please, somebody! Help me take this thing off!
Quick quiz: the fashion model seen here…
- has the Mother of all Toothaches.
- shows how you can make a swell hat from toilet paper.
- is just learning to tie a turban.
- has a pathological fear of being killed freakishly, like Isadora Duncan.
A model displays a creation from the Ralph Lauren Spring 2009 collection during Fashion Week in New York, September 12, 2008. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson
Who would watch a thing like that?
Blog Guy, you've covered just about every possible kind of fashion show. I'm not sure there's anything new they can explore.
There is always something new. For instance, they just had the first-ever underwater fashion show.
Undead, but not unfashionable
Memo to design staff: In looking for new demographics for our haute couture, I have exciting news. This fall we're going after the zombie market!
I know you're saying, "But Bob, aren't they kind of creepy?" Well, maybe, but our market research shows that zombies have lots of disposable income. They don't have to pay for their food because, um, you know what they eat. And they don't have to pay $4.00 a gallon for gasoline, because they just lurch around for free.
Add a cup of cyanide, a pinch of arsenic, and voila!
So there's this celebrity chef, see, and he said in a magazine article that a plant called henbane makes an excellent addition to summertime meals.
It's a great cooking tip, so long as you don't mind hallucinations, convulsions, vomiting and occasionally death. The chef, Antony Worrall Thompson, apologized, explaining that he had confused henbane with another weed, called fat hen.
I scream, you scream, we all….
Okay folks, you've been trained for your summer ice cream routes, and today you get your assignments. Herb goes to Pleasantville, Ohio. Joyce gets Maple Grove, Oregon. Earl, you' go to Najaf, Iraq….
Huh? Oh, didn't I mention we have routes over there? It gets pretty hot, and after a busy day they like their ice cream just as as much as anybody.
Señor Jiffy Pop, you're exploding!
Oh brother, can I pick 'em or what? On the Internet, this guy seemed so normal, but then I meet him in person…
He told me online he "works with animals." Yeah. Turns out he tortures them to death!
Col. Mustard, in the study, with a folding sofa!
Who knew that furniture should have warning labels sort of like the ones they put on cigarettes? We have a story about a wife who was angry at her husband for being drunk and refusing to get up from their folding couch. She kicked the handle, activating the mechanism which, well, killed him.
When death happens, you like to think it won't be in such an embarrassing way that some jerky humor blogger will use it. So how will they write this poor guy's obit to retain some measure of dignity?
Hand grenades and lemonades…
Here we are in Beirut, a city that has endured far more than its fair share of war and bloodshed, and we're going to open a fast-food restaurant. What would be a good theme for it?
I know, how about war! We'll draw on the natural connection between killing and eating! We can call it Buns and Guns, and we'll put the tables behind sandbags. We'll have war relics all over, and the chef can dress in camouflage! Our motto: A sandwich can kill you…

PermissionsBukkit - the Official Default Groups Plugin
Current Version: v2.3 (beta v2.4)
Find PermissionsBukkit on the forums!
It's been a long time coming, but with the accomplishment of build 1000 Bukkit has finally accomplished a built-in Permissions system (codenamed Superperms). For more info on how they work, and how to integrate them with your plugin, see the official Permissions FAQ. Keep in mind that you should rarely, if ever, have to hook this plugin directly; instead keep things in the realm of checking player.hasPermission("yourplugin.node"). The FAQ thread has more info on how to use Superperms with things like chat prefixes/suffixes.
- Storage of users and groups in plugins/PermissionsBukkit/config.yml.
- Both users and groups can be assigned individual permissions and parent groups to inherit permissions from.
- Support for global and per-world permissions.
- Reload configuration from file without reloading the plugin.
- Ability to check if a player has a specific permission node.
- Ability to dump all permissions a player has and the plugins that set them.
- Ability to print plugin, description, and default for a given permission node.
- Ability to modify the permissions of groups and users and the groups of a user in-game.
- Built-in antibuild via the "permissions.build" node (defaults to allowing anyone to build).
Current Beta Version:
PermissionsBukkit v2.4 beta (details)
Current Version:
PermissionsBukkit v2.3 (jar) (details)
Previous Beta Version (for older than 1.7.6):
PermissionsBukkit v2.2 beta (details)
Other Important Information:
For changelog information, known caveats, and other release notes, see the entries on the files page.
Plugin Metrics
PermissionsBukkit gathers some information about your usage via PluginMetrics. The information is available here, and you can disable metrics on your server by changing 'opt-out' to true in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml. You can view your own stats with the /perm about command.
PermissionsBukkit collects this information about your specific usage:
- The number of groups, users, worlds, permissions, and permission roots (first parts) in your configuration.
- Whether you use per-user permissions, per-world permissions, group inheritance, and API features.
- Whether anti-build is enabled, assigned to the default group, and has a message.
- Whether debug mode or custom permissions (permissions.yml file) are in use.
- Whether the example user "ConspiracyWizard" is in your configuration (this is not a real person).
Additionally, some information is collected by PluginMetrics by default:
- Java version
- Operating system
- Authentication mode (online/offline)
- System architecture (32/64-bit) and core count
- Game version
- Server location

Mizar6 Aug 28, 2014 at 23:28 UTC - 0 likes
If you have a plugin that does anything with groups, say a rankup plugin, and it does not work, it's probably because the author used Vault's playerAddGroup(Player player, String group) method which will always fail since PermissionBukkit does not support groups on a per world basis so Vault nulls all calls to playerAddGroup(Player player, String group). The author needs to use playerAddGroup(String world, OfflinePlayer player, String group) and set the world to null. I wanted to switch to PermissionsBukkit but several plugins dealing with groups were failing so I looked at the open source ones and then the source of Vault.

Please I need help !
I love your plugin but I have a problem ! I will open my RP server soon. I want to use "Bossshop" to buy rank. Then i have to set a command to buy "VIP rank". BUT i think, i have to use "/perm setrank <playername> VIP" and I don't know how it can set the playername automatically... Sorry for my english I'm french.
For exemple : "Mister" want to be VIP. He have to click on bossshops item and click on "BUY VIP". The command executed will be /perm setrank Mister VIP.
My question is : How can the playername will be set automatically "/perm setrank (HERE) VIP"
I tried /perm setrank <playername> VIP but it doesnt work...
Sorry for my bad english again and thanks for reading !

Ballesteros recovers from golf cart fall
MADRID, Spain – Seve Ballesteros, who has been battling brain cancer for more than a year, has fully recovered after falling off a golf cart and banging his head on the ground last week in Pedrena, northern Spain.
Ballesteros, 52, a two-time Masters champion and three-time winner of the British Open, underwent hospital exams for four days before being discharged. The Spaniard hit his head on the ground when he fell out of the vehicle.
In 2008, Ballesteros underwent surgery after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.

I had the honor of speaking at devLINK over the last 3 days – including the humbling opportunity to sit in on a 'closing keynote' speaker panel with Douglas Crockford, Bryan Hunter, James Kovacs and Elijah Manor. Needless to say, I feel woefully under-qualified sitting next to people of such caliber! John Kellar – founder and organizer of devLINK – invited the audience to ask questions. The attendees asked great questions and, at one point, someone asked Douglas Crockford if he thought JavaScript would still be the dominant language of the web in 10-15 years. His response:
"God, I hope not. If it turns out that JavaScript is the last programming language, that would be really sad. But unfortunately, because of its dominance in the web, it is now moving into virtually every place else. It has become a tragically important language, and we're going to be stuck with it for a time…."
I wouldn't be surprised if the mix of laughter during & after that statement was comprised of two reactions (at least):
- Nervous laughter from those who have embraced (and dare I say, loved) working in JavaScript. An accomplished, respected and knowledgeable figure just told them their baby was ugly. Awkward.
- Satisfaction (perhaps of the smug kind) from developers seasoned in other languages who've been dragged kicking and screaming (or still resisting being drawn) into this crazy new world of JavaScript's ubiquitousness.
So here's what I'd say to my two strawmen:
1.) If you've embraced JavaScript – great! Work hard to innovate and make this space the best it can be for the period of time it dominates the web. But don't get lulled into any false sense of security. If my own experience is any indication, a large majority of JavaScript developers either don't possess, or are not applying, solid pattern knowledge and architectural principles. Do yourself a favor and learn these concepts so that you can apply them in any language. Play with other languages, even if it's just a side project (and maybe consider learning a statically typed language).
2.) If you view the rise of JavaScript with anti-hipster-bitterness, you're just experiencing what JavaScript developers will also one day experience: the fact that languages rise and fall, and yours may not be the "language du jour". Consider the fact that very accomplished developers (from multiple language backgrounds) are delivering some incredible things right now in JavaScript. Don't let the awful prevalence of spaghettified front end code trick you into thinking that "that's just how JavaScript is". No, it's not. JavaScript – like so much of the web – has a low barrier to entry. And that's a powerful reality. You can get a LOT done, without knowing a lot. But it's developers (and would-be-developers) that are responsible for the spaghetti code, not the language. What we could benefit from is your knowledge being brought to bear in this space. And remember – a low barrier to entry doesn't preclude the power it can wield.
I think the lessons conveyed over my time at devLINK this year are clear:
- Endeavor to do what you love
- Strive to become excellent at what you do
- Do *not* limit your skill set to only what your employer currently utilizes
- Learn another language.
- Repeat step 4.
That being said, it's time for me to dust off erlang and Io again.

Parkia filicoidea. is a related African species from riparian forests. Other species occur both in tropical Asia and Latin America. These are generally handsome, quick-growing trees, large in size, with clear, smooth trunks and fine feathery leaves. They too are useful and highly regarded. Most are pollinated by bats as well as bees. Examples include:
Parkia speciosa. Indigenous to Southeast Asia, where it can be found in cultivated plantations. There the odorous/stinking seeds are eaten raw. roasted and fried after sun drying and storage, or else cooked in sauces and curries, more as a condiment. In Indonesia and Malaysia, the pods are an important foodstuff. When ground into a meal, they make a nutritious ingredient of livestock rations. These trees may be found in fairly moist areas in southern Asia. Many of the species are noted for the pods or beans and nuts they bear, which are of good quality and make excellent and nutritious foodstuffs. The leaves also provide useful forage for livestock.
Parkia biglandulosa. Malaysia. Seeds roasted, also a substitute for coffee; seedlings also consumed.
Parkia intermedia. Indonesia. Seeds eaten raw or roasted.
Parkia javanica. Indonesia, Philippines. Pods used for flavoring.
Parkia roxburghii. Thrives in moist low areas up to about 600 meters above sea level.
These further members of the genus Parkia are worthy of much more extensive planting, with progressive breeding and selections of improved strains. Several institutions in various parts of Asia and the Americas have begun showing an interest in developing them for forestry and farms.

Images: Birth of the first computer
Summary: J. Presper Eckert and John Mauch designed ENIAC to calculate the trajectory of artillery shells. Fortunately, we've found other uses for their invention.
6 of 8Image
trajectory examFrances Blias and Elizabeth Jennings with ENIAC. Women performed many of the mathematical calculations and developed the programming techniques. Although they didn't get credit at the time, their role has recently become better acknowledged.
"The audience was absolutely astounded. ENIAC ran the trajectory faster than it took the bullet to trace it. People got, as a souvenir, a printout of the trajectory we ran," said Jean Bartik, one of the surviving programmers, about the first demonstration of ENIAC to the military and other scientists.
who deserved credit?
Herman Goldstine, a mathematician from the U.S. Army, at right and Eckert. Although the two collaborated on ENIAC, many of the original participants argued later over who deserved credit. Goldstine was responsible for bringing John Von Neumann into the ENIAC project. Eckert later asserted that Von Neumann tried to take credit for ideas that emerged with Eckert and Mauchly.
John Atanasoff
Iowa State professor John Atanasoff liked fast cars and scotch, according to interviews he gave. After driving to a bar in Illinois, he had a few drinks and sketched out on a napkin a concept out for an electronic device that could perform math functions with signals from vacuum tubes. The ABC Computer was built in 1941. It could perform multiplication, but worked stopped on the project after the attack on Pearl Harbor and Atanasoff never returned to it.

GUILDERLAND, N.Y. -- Following Maya Angelou's death, Time Warner Cable News spoke with a local professor who knew her.
Dr. Leonard Slade, Jr. says the famous author saw promise in him and encouraged him to continue his work as a writer. He's published 17 books of poetry so far, and 22 books total.
After reading Slade's book "Sweet Solitude", Angelou said, "I am the better for it, the wiser for it, and the happier for it."
He says that was the inspiration that's kept him writing still today, and says the admiration she showed for him was nothing compared to how he felt about her.
"She was a very special woman, and kind, and quite prolific as a writer. One of her works was no the NY Times Best Seller's list for two years. That's a long time to be on the best seller's list," said Slade.
Slade says that while he's saddened by Angelou's death, she would want people to celebrate her life by continuing to appreciate her work.

HRM. When the NHRA fuel ban came [1957 to 1963], did you run both fuel and gas?
AC. We ran nitro until the fuel ban, and then went to gas. All the East Coast guys were running nitro and getting all of the magazine ink and bookings. It was exciting. I finally had enough and switched to nitro. Wally Parks was pissed at me. But our times went from 154 mph on gas to 178 mph, then quickly 180 on nitro. While we were trying to go faster on gas, we started playing with the overdrive. I had a boat geardrive between the blower and engine so we could overdrive it. Potvin front-drives were only one-to-one, so the boat drive allowed me to overdrive. A buddy of mine had some gears and wanted to change out the gears to run a higher percentage—I normally ran 20 percent over. So we put his gears in, and on the line I smoked the tires so bad, but it was a jolt—it felt like the engine was on nitro. When we got back to the pits, I figured it was 50 percent over! It was crazy. But from that experience I went 30 percent over, and that really worked. There was so much power to the tires I would pull the brake and work the clutch to keep from smoking the tires. Eventually, we would set up the clutch with weak springs. This allowed the clutch to slip, and I didn't smoke the tires. That was the first slipper clutch—way before Crower did it. After I went back to nitro, I really needed to stop the car because we were going so much faster, so we tried a parachute, and it really worked well—so I was the first to use a parachute as well.
HRM. What do you think of NHRA's current 1,000-foot limit?
AC. I think they're going the wrong way—NHRA has a big problem now. The cars are too fast and too expensive—and with the computers, the mechanics are able to gear to 1,000 feet, then if it's 800 feet they'll gear to that. So the speeds are going to exceed wherever they set the limit. And no matter how much room there is, you're going to have shutoff issues.They need to take tire out of the cars, or go to one magneto, or restrict the amount of fuel—basically pull power out of it. The mechanics don't want to change—they've got their combinations—but NHRA should just say, "This is what we're going to do," and then do it. The mechanics will adjust to the new rules. The fans in the stands can't tell the difference how fast the car is—it's just loud and fast. It will also give more control to the drivers—make the drivers drive. But I don't understand shortening the track instead of slowing the cars down. They've got a big problem.
HRM. There's a new book about you and your racing exploits?
AC. Yes, Tom Madigan wrote it, and Ed Justice Jr. published it. It's at TheChrismanLegacy.com. It also includes my uncle, Jack. It was a lot of fun to do.
Everett Chrisman was the gearhead patriarch who moved his family from Arkansas to Compton, California, before WWII, opening Chrisman and Sons Automotive.
Jack Chrisman was Everett's younger brother (and therefore Art's uncle). He was the most famed drag racing Chrisman, having driven the Jones-Maillard-Chrisman Sidewinder dragsters, the Howards Cams Twin Bears dragster, Mickey Thompson's hemi-headed Pontiac dragster, and his Mercury Comet recognized as the first blown, injected, nitro Funny Car.
Art Chrisman is Everett's son and Jack's nephew.
Lloyd Chrisman is Everett's son and Art's brother. He is best known for his land-speed racing with the famous Chrisman Coupe '30 Model A and drag work with the Hustlers.
Steve Chrisman is Jack's son, who operates Chrisman Driveline Components.
Mike Chrisman is Art's son and partner in Chrisman Auto Rod Specialties.
Jerry Toliver is the son of Juanita Toliver, who is Art Chrisman's sister. Jerry was an alky hydro racer before running NHRA nitro Funny Cars with his brothers, Craig and Kevin.

What is a duty of care?
The person or company that injured you must have been in a position in which the law imposes a responsibility that they act or refrain from acting in a way that would cause foreseeable injury to you.
- Click here for a simple example of duty:
- Click here for a simple example of lack of duty:
There are four levels of duty in tort law and, therefore, in personal injury law.
- Duty to Refrain from Intentional Injury:
- Example: Person A, without any justification, punches Person B, breaking her nose. Person A may have committed an intentional tort, and Person B may recover.
- Example:Person B is not famous in any way. Person A publishes a blog article knowing it is false, in which he states that Person B is a prostitute and has a variety of sexually transmitted diseases. Person B loses her job, and her husband divorces her. Person A may have committed the intentional tort of libel.
- Negligence:
- Example: House owner knows that broken glass has accumulated on the walkway to his front door, a path that is open and unfenced; the owner just doesn't feel like cleaning the glass. It is foreseeable that anyone walking to the door may step on the glass and hurt themselves. Owner has a duty to remove the glass, or otherwise make the walkway safe.
- Example: Person A owns a bakery and spills a bucket of oil on the floor. An employee of Person A mops the floor, but doesn't use soap and doesn't warn customers that the floor is slippery. An hour later Person B slips on the floor, hurting her back. Person A and his employee may have acted negligently.
- Recklessness:
- Example: A police officer is called to the scene of an armed robbery, and begins speeding down the street in his car to answer the call. The officer is permitted to speed through the streets and through red lights, so long as he does so without being reckless in regard to whether others will be injured. The officer turns on his lights and siren while driving to an emergency. Even if he hits another car in these circumstances, the police officer may not be liable because in warning others that he was approaching, he was not being reckless.
- Strict Liability:
- Example: A person buys a power lawn mower from a chain hardware store. The mower is manufactured by another company. Owner gets home and turns on the mower, exactly as stated in the instructions. It catches fire, severely burning the owner. The manufacturer's duty in such cases is to not place a product in commerce that is defective. The fact of the fire itself, without more evidence, can be proof that the manufacturer breached its duty.
When one person injures another intentionally and without any legal justification, the injury is caused wrongfully in the eyes of the law, and the injured person has a right to recover damages. (Note, a person who intentionally causes physical injuries may also be liable under the criminal law.)
Generally, people have a duty to refrain from negligent behavior—that is, if particular conduct or lack of conduct that doesn't have an intent to injure others, but creates a foreseeable risk of injury to others, you are required (you have a duty) to refrain from acting in that way.
In some cases—usually involving government employees, like police or fire fighters while working in emergency situations—the duty is to refrain from reckless behavior. That is, they have a duty to not act with utter disregard to the safety of others, even while they are doing their own, dangerous work.
In still other cases, those involving manufacturing defects in products, there is strict liability—that is, if a product defect causes injury, or if merely using a product in the manner it was intended to be used causes injury, the manufacturer is liable without proof of negligence or even recklessness.
Will it be difficult for my lawyers to establish that the person who injured me had a duty to me?
In reality, duty is not a high standard—in many everyday situations (driving a car, doing lawn work, manufacturing products, keeping stores safe for customers, delivering medical care), we all owe various other people a duty to avoid hurting them by our negligent behavior.
Just remember, however, there are situations in which one person does not owe a duty to another. In those situations, if an injury occurs, there is no right to recover damages. A lawyer will be able to determine whether the person or company that injured you owed you a duty of care and what level of duty (negligent, reckless, strict liability) that person or company owed.
I think I have been injured by the wrongful conduct of another
- Seek medical attention immediately
- Document your claims as thoroughly as possible
- Your time to sue is limited; contact a personal injury lawyer ASAP

BIkers Against Child Abuse Helps Make Abused Children Feel Safe Again
"A biker's power and intimidating image can even the playing field for a little kid who has been hurt. If the man who hurt this little girl calls or drives by, or even if she is just scared, another nightmare, the bikers will ride over and stand guard all night.
If she is afraid to go to school, they will take her and watch until she's safely inside.
And if she has to testify against her abuser in court, they will go, too, walking with her to the witness stand and taking over the first row of seats."

However, despite our predicament, we're much better off than millions of others. I was a vocational rehabilitation counselor for seven years. I worked with paraplegics, quadriplegics and people with terminal illnesses. There are millions of people who cannot sit, stand, walk, feed themselves or care for their bodily needs. Compared to them, we are the lucky ones.
Living with chronic severe pain is an exercise in perspective. We live in agony. But millions live in worse situations. Be happy for what you can still do.View Thread
An increasing number of reports have shown that MSCs can be isolated from other various mesenchymal tissues other than bone marrow, and that their similarities as MSCs and the specificities dependent of their MSC source are emerging [a name=IDA2ITTE> [a name=IDA5ITTE> . This comparative in vivo study showed that bone marrow MSCs and synovial MSCs produced a higher amount of cartilage matrix than adipose MSCs and muscle MSCs after transplantation into articular cartilage defect of the knee in rabbits. It also demonstrated that synovial MSCs expanded faster than bone marrow MSCs when cultured with 10% human autologous serum. This study investigated whether intradiscal transplantation of synovial MSCs delayed disc degeneration in a rabbit model. MSCs labeled with DiI or derived from green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing transgenic rabbit were used for tracking of transplanted cells. Furthermore, human synovial MSCs and rat nucleus pulposus cells were co-cultured in vitro, and their interaction was clarified by a species specific microarray system. Finally, it demonstrated the effectiveness and limitations of this method and advocated a possible mechanism to prevent intervertebral disc degeneration in a rabbit model.
Intradiscal transplantation of synovial MSCs prevented intervertebral disc degeneration in vivo. Co-culture assay in vitro revealed that nucleus pulposus cells dramatically changed their gene profile by interaction with synovial MSCs to inhibit expressions of the genes for degradative enzymes and inflammatory cytokines.
At 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24 weeks postoperatively, the study evaluated with imaging analyses such as X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and histological analysis. To investigate interaction between synovial MSCs and nucleus pulposus cells, human synovial MSCs and rat nucleus pulposus cells were co-cultured, and species specific microarray were performed.
The implications of stem cell research are now focused upon regenration of disc material, which has the capacity to reduce or even eliminate the nociceptive and neuropathic pain associated with degenerative disc disease. This disease (and I have had it congenitally all of my life) can rob individuals of jobs, income and quality of life. For the first time, there is hope of rebuilding dessicated discs without the damage associated with surgical implantation of synthetic discs (where available).
This study, of course, is only a small step in the right direction. It must be successfully repeated with animals prior to human testing. Thus, we might be years away from human stem cell transplantation. However, it presents hope for the rebuilding of discs without the need for significantly invasive surgical procedures that even with a successful outcome, often leave the patient with ancillary damage and new pain.

In the January 2011 edition of Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, Russian researchers divided 64 patients with musculoskeletal pain syndromes in the lumbosacral area persisting for more than 3 months into 2 age groups: 30-50 years (n=41) and 51-60 years (n=23). A reference control group consisted of 20 healthy volunteers comparable in terms of gender, age, and level of education. All subjects underwent clinical neurological, orthopedic, and psychological evaluations.
In patients with chronic spinal pain, complaints of difficulty with mental concentration were present in roughly 17%, and 1-in-5 (20.2%) had problems with remembering information. Also, compared with healthy subjects, patients with chronic pain in both age groups had significantly worse performance in tests assessing attention, mental flexibility, and in visuomotor coordination (for example, reduced ability to control the direction of hand movement while tracing the changing path of a printed line, as found in patients with Parkinson's disease).
Cognitive dysfunctions in younger patients were worsened by pain intensity and negative emotional characteristics of pain, particularly anxiety. In older patients cognitive deficits were influenced by anxiety and emotional distress, and by their level of catastrophizing; that is, harboring irrational thoughts and excessive fears about the severity of their condition.
Typical side effects of powerful pain medications may act as an additive artifact to the enhanced cognitive disruption experienced by these chronic pain patients. Thus medicated chronic pain patients experience the double-whammy of cognitive impairment from pain and further impairment from the medications.
Having lived with chronic back and leg pain for 40 years, I can personally vouch for this study's conclusions. Chronic pain does appear to disrupt my normal cognitive functioning, particularly related to attention, concentration and communication processing. What's worse is the apparent additive effect of powerful opiate medications. This "double-whammy" leaves the patient with no viable solution. One is impaired with and without appropriate medications.
Until we experience a powerful pharmacological advance, chronic pain patients will remain impaired. The cost in terms of lost employment, productivity, personal and family relationships will remain a significant impediment to all of us in this predicament. Let's hope for molecular pharmacology breakthroughs in the near future.
Finally, chronic pain patients should take advantage of any and all viable mind-body therapy available. I've discovered that keeping my brain active (as a writer) helps. So does using biofeedback, acquired in pain management programs. However, our ability to multitask and continue to maintain effective cognitive performance might be severely limited.

Although the mechanisms behind this need further elaboration, research suggests that appropriately low doses of opioid antagonists (naloxone, and also naltrexone) appear to reset the endogenous opioid-receptor system, somewhat analogous to how "rebooting" a malfunctioning computer clears memory, refreshes the software, and often restores normal function. This may be an important concept for patients experiencing intractable chronic pain without relief from opioids.
Many patients with chronic intractible pain climb the opiate ladder until reaching the highest safe dosage, at which point the medication provides ever-decreasing effectivness due to tolerance. This resistance to powerful pain medication leads to increased infirmity, disability, emotional distress and higher medical and social costs.
There still remains a dearth of reliable data on this subject. Far more large population, double blind, control group research is necessary before we can draw a definitive conclusion. However, as we see a steady increase in the long-term use of opioid analgesics for chronic pain, this topic will become an ever-increasing source of interest to the medical and lay communities.

TRPV1 receptor has been found in both the peripheral and central nervous system within centres
known for their role in pain detection, transmission and regulation, consistent with its key role in
pain. Calcium flowing through TRPV1
channel activates a Ca2+-sensitive PLC, which hydrolyzes PIP2 and leads to its depletion, which in
turn results in diminished channel activity.
TRPV1 receptor is up-regulated in undamaged neurons and down-regulated in damaged ones in several models of neuropathic pain and, interestingly, the increased expression of TRPV1 receptor is related not only to the C-fibers but also to the myelinated A-fibers, which justifies the effectiveness of TRPV1 receptor agonist/antagonists in mechanical allodynia, apart from thermal hyperalgesia (which many of us here have).
Further studies to clarify the role of the supraspinal TRPV1 receptor and in particular, within the antinociceptive descending pathway, may open the way to a novel strategy of pain relief in central nervous system disorders, such as neuropathic pain, which does not yet have an appropriate therapy.

It is known that THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, binds with opiate receptors in the brain. So, it should come as no surprise that the qualitatively higher THC content in this study results in significant pain reduction. That the participants report a feeling of "caring less" about their pain might present an added effect, which should be further studied.
Another area of interest is whether oral THC (Marinol) has the same beneficial effect. Many people today use Marinol off-label for chronic nociceptive and neuropathic pain. An obvious area of interest for future research should be to explore any difference in efficacy between inhaled and ingested THC. A confounding factor might be the dozens of chemicals that enter the bloodstream when cannabis is smoked, compared with the single chemical associated with ingestion (THC). It is possible that some of the added chemicals associated with inhaling the drug are also beneficial to pain relief. And, of course, inhaled THC reaches peak plasma level much more swiftly than ingested THC. Might this alter the patient's perception of the quality of pain relief?
Tens of thousands of people have reported a decrease in pain associated with cannabis intake. This study only reinforces that belief. Unfortunately, this study used a rather small population. While the number of participants, particularly those using the highest THC content remains low, the results still appear statistically significant to some extent. Hopefully, future research will use much larger populations and will attend to the efficacy of oral THC, in addition to the inhaled option.View Thread

Adam Clarke Commentary
1 Peter 4
We should suffer patiently, after the example of Christ, 1 Peter 4:1. And no longer live according to our former custom, but disregard the scoffs of those who are incensed against us because we have forsaken their evil ways, who are shortly to give account to God for their conduct, 1 Peter 4:2-5. How the Gospel was preached to Jews and Gentiles, 1 Peter 4:6. As the end of all things was at hand, they should be sober, watchful, charitable, benevolent, good stewards of the bounty of Providence; and, when called to instruct others, speak as the oracles of God, 1 Peter 4:7-11. Of the persecutions and trials which were coming upon them, and how they were to suffer so as not to disgrace their Christian character, 1 Peter 4:12-16. Judgment was about to begin at the house of God, and even the righteous would escape with difficulty from the calamities coming upon the Jews; but they must continue in well-doing, and thus commit the keeping of their souls to their faithful Creator, 1 Peter 4:17-19.
Verse 1
As Christ hath suffered - He is your proper pattern; have the same disposition he had; the same forgiving spirit, with meekness, gentleness, and complete self-possession.
He that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sin - This is a general maxim, if understood literally: The man who suffers generally reflects on his ways, is humbled, fears approaching death, loathes himself because of his past iniquities, and ceases from them; for, in a state of suffering, the mind loses its relish for the sins of the flesh, because they are embittered to him through the apprehension which he has of death and judgment; and, on his application to God's mercy, he is delivered from his sin.
Verse 2
That he no longer should live - in the flesh - Governed by the base principle of giving up his faith to save his life; to the lusts of men - according to the will of his idolatrous persecutors; but to the will of God; which will of God is, that he should retain the truth, and live according to its dictates, though he should suffer for it.
Verse 3
The time past of our life - This is a complete epitome of the Gentile or heathen state, and a proof that those had been Gentiles to whom the apostle wrote.
1.They walked in lasciviousness, εν ασελγειαις· every species of lechery, lewdness, and impurity.
2.In lusts, επιθυμιαις· strong irregular appetites, and desires of all kinds.
6.In abominable idolatries, αθεμιτοις ειδωλολατρειαις· that is, the abominations practised at their idol feasts, where they not only worshipped the idol, but did it with the most impure, obscene, and abominable rites.
This was the general state of the Gentile world; and with this monstrous wickedness Christianity had everywhere to struggle.
Verse 4
They think it strange - Ξενιζονται· They wonder and are astonished at you, that ye can renounce these gratifications of the flesh for a spiritual something, the good of which they cannot see.
Excess of riot - Ασωτιας αναχυσιν· Flood of profligacy; bearing down all rule, order, and restraints before it.
Speaking evil of you - Βλασφημουντες· Literally, blaspheming; i.e. speaking impiously against God, and calumniously of you.
Verse 5
To judge the quick and the dead - They shall give account of these irregularities to Him who is prepared to judge both the Jews and the Gentiles. The Gentiles, previously to the preaching of the Gospel among them, were reckoned to be dead in trespasses and sins, Ephesians 2:1-5; under the sentence of death, because they had sinned. The Jews had at least, by their religious profession, a name to live; and by that profession were bound to give to God.
Verse 6
Was the Gospel preached also to them that are dead - This is a most difficult verse; the best translations I have seen of it are the following: -
Verse 7
But the end of all things is at hand - I think that here also St. Peter keeps the history of the deluge before his eyes, finding a parallel to the state of the Jews in his own time in that of the antediluvians in the days of Noah. In Genesis 6:13, God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me. This was spoken at a time when God had decreed the destruction of the world by a flood. Peter says, The end of all things is at hand; and this he spoke when God had determined to destroy the Jewish people and their polity by one of the most signal judgments that ever fell upon any nation or people.
Be - sober, and watch unto prayer - Be sober - make a prudent and moderate use of all you possess; and watch against all occasions of sin; and pray for the supporting hand of God to be upon you for good, that ye may escape the destruction that is coming upon the Jews, and that ye may be saved from among them when the scourge comes.
Verse 8
Have fervent charity - Αγαπην εκτενη· Intense love; for love shall cover a multitude of sins. A loving disposition leads us to pass by the faults of others, to forgive offenses against ourselves, and to excuse and lessen, as far as is consistent with truth, the transgressions of men. It does not mean that our love to others will induce God to pardon our offenses. See the note on James 5:20.
Verse 9
Use hospitality - Be ever ready to divide your bread with the hungry, and to succor the stranger. See on Hebrews 13:2 (note).
Without grudging - Ανευ γογγυσμων· Without grumblings. Do nothing merely because it is commanded, but do it from love to God and man; then it will be without grumbling.
Verse 10
Hath received the gift - Χαρισμα· A gift; any blessing of providence or grace. I cannot think that the word means here the Holy Ghost, or any of his supernatural gifts or influences; it may include those, but it signifies any thing given by the mere mercy and bounty of God: but perhaps in this place it may signify some or any office in the Church; and this sense, indeed, the connection seems to require.
Stewards of the manifold grace - Whatever gifts or endowments any man may possess, they are properly speaking, not his own; they are the Lord's property, and to be employed in his work, and to promote his glory.
Verse 11
If any man speak - In order to explain or enforce God's word, and edify his neighbor, let him do it as those did to whom the living oracles were committed: they spoke as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost. Those, therefore, at Pontus, etc., who undertook to teach others, should speak by the same influence; or, if not under this immediate influence, should speak as or according to the oracles already delivered, grounding all their exhortations and doctrines on some portion of that revelation already given. This command is sent to every man upon earth in holy orders, in pretended holy orders, or pretending to holy orders. Their teaching should be what the oracles of God, the Holy Scriptures, teach and authenticate.
Of the ability which God giveth - Perhaps the ministering here may refer to the care of the poor, and the ability is the quantum of means which God may have placed in their hands; and they are to minister this as coming immediately from God, and lead the minds of the poor to consider him as their benefactor, that he in all things may be glorified through Christ Jesus. This is implied in the essence of any charitable act: the actor is not the author, God is the author; and the poor man should be taught to consider him as his immediate benefactor. Those who give any thing as from themselves, rob God; for to him the praise for all good, and the dominion over all men and things, belong for ever and ever.
Verse 12
Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial - Πυρωσει· The burning. The metaphor is old, but noble; it represents the Christians at Pontus as having fire cast upon them for the trying of their faith, as gold is tried by fire, 1 Peter 1:7, to which the apostle alludes - Macknight.
First, He intimates that it was not a strange or unusual thing for the people of God to be persecuted.
Verse 14
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ - To be reproached for the name of Christ is to be reproached for being a Christian, that is, for being like Christ. This is the highest honor to which any man can arrive in this world, and therefore the apostle says to such? Happy are ye.
The Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you - As this Divine Spirit rested upon Jesus, so does it rest upon his persecuted followers. There is a various reading here, και δυναμεως , and of power, which is found in some of the chief MSS., (the Codex Alexandrinus, and above twenty others), the later Syriac, all the Arabic, Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, Vulgate, some copies of the Itala, Athanasius, Theophylact, Cyprian, and Cassiodorus; and in them the whole verse reads thus: If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory, And of Power, and of God, resteth upon you. This is agreeable to our Lord's words, Matthew 5:11, Matthew 5:12. So that what constituted them unhappy in the sight of the world was their chief happiness in the sight of God; they carried Christ the fountain of blessedness in their heart, and therefore could not be unhappy.
On their part he is evil spoken of - Κατα μεν αυτους βλασφημειται, κατα δε ὑμας δοξαζεται· By them he is blasphemed, by you he is honored.
Verse 15
But let none of you suffer - as a busybody in other men's matters - Αλλοτριοεπισκοπος· The inspector of another; meddling with other people's concerns, and forgetting their own; such persons are hated of all men. But some think that meddling with those in public office is here intended, as if he had said: Meddle not with the affairs of state, leave public offices and public officers to their own master, strive to live peaceably with all men, and show yourselves to be humble and unaspiring.
Verse 16
Yet if - as a Christian - If he be persecuted because he has embraced the Christian faith, let him not be ashamed, but let him rather glorify God on this very account. Christ suffered by the Jews because he was holy; Christians suffer because they resemble him.
Verse 17
Judgment must begin at the house of God - Our Lord had predicted that, previously to the destruction of Jerusalem, his own followers would have to endure various calamities; see Matthew 24:9, Matthew 24:21, Matthew 24:22; Mark 13:12, Mark 13:13; John 16:2, etc. Here his true disciples are called the house or family of God. That the converted Jews suffered much from their own brethren, the zealots, or factions into which the Jews were at that time divided, needs little proof; and some interpreters think that this was in conformity to the purpose of God, (Matthew 23:35: That on you may come all the righteous blood shed from the foundation of the world), "that the Jewish Christians were to be involved in the general punishment; and that it was proper to begin at them as a part of the devoted Jewish nation, notwithstanding they were now become the house of God, because the justice of God would thereby be more illustriously displayed." See Macknight. But probably the word κριμα , which we here translate judgment, may mean no more than affliction and distress; for it was a Jewish maxim that, when God was about to pour down some general judgment, he began with afflicting his own people in order to correct and amend them, that they might be prepared for the overflowing scourge. In Bava Kama, fol. 60, 1, we have the same sentiment, and in nearly the same words, as in Peter, viz.: "God never punishes the world but because of the wicked, but he always begins with the righteous first. The destroyer makes no difference between the just and the unjust, only he begins first with the righteous." See Ezekiel 9:1-7, where God orders the destroyer to slay both old and young in the city: But, said he, begin at my sanctuary.
And if it first begin at us - Jews, who have repented, and believed on the Son of God; what shall the end be of them - the Jews who continue impenitent, and obey not the Gospel of God? Here is the plainest reference to the above Jewish maxim; and this, it appears, was founded upon the text which St. Peter immediately quotes.
Verse 18
And if the righteous scarcely be saved - If it shall be with extreme difficulty that the Christians shall escape from Jerusalem, when the Roman armies shall come against it with the full commission to destroy it, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Where shall the proud Pharisaic boaster in his own outside holiness, and the profligate transgressor of the laws of God, show themselves, as having escaped the Divine vengeance? The Christians, though with difficulty, did escape, every man; but not one of the Jews escaped, whether found in Jerusalem or elsewhere.
Verse 19
Suffer according to the will of God - A man suffers according to the will of God who suffers for righteousness' sake; and who, being reviled, reviles not again.
Commit the keeping of their souls - Place their lives confidently in his hand, who, being their Creator, will also be their preserver, and keep that safely which is committed to his trust. God is here represented as faithful, because he will always fulfill his promises, and withhold no good thing from them that walk uprightly.
1.The apostle recommends fervent charity - unfeigned love both to God and man. It is well said of this grace that it is a universal virtue which ought to precede, accompany, and follow, all others. A charity which has God for its principle, and Jesus Christ for its pattern, never faileth. If our charity be extensive enough to cover all the defects of our neighbor in bearing with them; that of God is sufficient to cover all the sins of a sincere penitent by blotting them out. If we ought to be charitable to all, it is after the example of our heavenly Father, who is loving to every man, and hateth nothing that he has made.
2The difficulty of escaping the corruption that is in the world is great; and, consequently, the danger of losing our souls. In this great work, watchfulness, prayer; faith, and obedience, are indispensably necessary. He who does not walk with God here cannot see nor enjoy him hereafter.

Kebun Binatang Surabaya (Surabaya Zoo)
What we say:
Surabaya zoo is home to a diverse range of animals including many types of primates, deer and birds, but they are kept in dire conditions that don't seem to have improved much despite international coverage of shocking animal deaths.
A string of deaths have occurred in very recent years, including a giraffe (with nearly 20 kilograms of plastic in its digestive system), a Sumatran tiger, an African lion, a wallaby, a Komodo dragon, a babirusa cub, a Bawean deer, a crocodile and several birds.
While a new company was hired to manage the publicly-run facility, it seems a lack of finances have not really led to much improvement; while we used to think perhaps it was better to go to contribute funds to making the zoo better, it seems like this was too much to hope for.
If for some reason you do need to find the zoo, it's three kilometres south of the main train station. Any Bungurasih bound bus or angkot will stop here and cost 3,000 rupiah from the centre of town.

One hundred and ninety-nine people living in 26 states got sick between August and mid-October of last year after eating fresh spinach that was contaminated with E. coli; 31 developed kidney failure; three died. The problem was ultimately traced to spinach grown in California's Salinas Valley in fields fouled by manure. That incident was not the result of malicious or terrorist attacks on the food supply, but it revealed the vulnerabilities in the system that a terrorist could exploit.
Government and industry, led in part by academia, are working to add-ress the problem through various measures. The goals are to assess vulnerabilities, then find solutions, including better livestock-tracking and outbreak-detection capabilities.
At the federal level, the Strategic Partnership Program on Agroterrorism (SPPA) has brought together the USDA, the FDA, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), plus state and industry officials. They are jointly assessing high-risk points in the food chain and disseminating that information to industry and government officials. Separately, DHS launched its Food Agriculture Sector Joint Committee on Research to bring together industry leaders and regulators, both to consider policy and to study potential ramifications of attacks.
In academia, DHS's national centers of excellence in food security are conducting a broad benchmarking and assessment survey with the goal of establishing industrywide best practices for food supply-chain security.
Experts say the greatest challenge in food security lies in the area of detection—detecting contamination in suspect products. Another important component in supply-chain safety is the ability to track back to the origins of a product when a problem surfaces. To address that weakness in the system with regard to meat products, the USDA has been working on a voluntary animal ID program, dubbed the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), which it plans to launch this year.

A Good Thing - February 20
Day 20 Theme: Proverbs
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction - Proverbs 1:7
The first thing that many schools throw out of any discussion or pursuit of knowledge is God. Yet here we see that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge — we cannot hope to attain any real understanding of our world, its purpose, or our place in it without first turning to and learning from God.
The fool looks at material things and therefore assumes things about God; the wise man or woman looks at God and therefore assumes things about material things. Which are you?
Do you look at the world through the lens of God's Word and with a fearsome understanding that it was created for the glory of God? If so, then intellectual pursuits, family relationships, job opportunities, and every other area of life will fit into place. On the other hand, if you do not begin with the fear of the Lord, then life will seem like a crossword puzzle with the wrong answer already scrawled across its middle; nothing will seem to fit.
If you are getting some wrong answers, that don't seem to fit or solve the problems in your life, try erasing all your own answers and replacing them with God's. Remember, He is the one that made us and He has given us the solutions we need in His Word. The fear of the Lord is the beginning…

This one is a really lovely chutney. Use it on or in quiches, pizzas, plain biscuits, sandwiches or just with a cheese platter, I am sure you will love it. I do keep this in the fridge, and it never lasts long, so I am not sure as to its time of keeping, but would say at least 5-6 months.

I find that disgusting! Too many parents are trying to make their young daughters into women before they are ready for it. They dress them in these skimpy tops, bras and micro skirts and then wonder why they attract attention. I see all too much of it at the Cheddar Caves every day and find it disturbing
Only in America!
Mother nature does a pretty good job on letting Mothers know what to do when the time comes, let alone all the midwifes and healthcare professionals, why, why, why do people have to put garbage like this down the throats of poor innocent children. No wonder we see you girls dressed and acting the way they do at the moment with all the crap that gets put in magazines and on the TV. Let children grow up as children, lifes tough enough without having to burden them with adulthood way before their time!!!!!!
Put a stop to it, don't buy it, boycott crap like this before it is too late.

Quote: Am I wrong or is this site supposed to have a connection with photography?
It's posted in off-topic discussion. It doesn't have to be photographic in nature.
Little girls copy their Mums and pretend to breast feed anyway (providing they have a little brother/sister). I don't see anything to get upset about with a doll that breastfeeds. There are already dolls that suck when you put a bottle in their mouth, who would be willing to bet that no little girls have already thought of the next logical stage.
This is nothing like as bad as selling 'sexy' clothes for little girls.
Until we start dealing with issues related to good health and how our bodies function normally without shouting and screaming about such issues in terms of 'disgust', I have no hope we will ever really start dealing with some of the health challenges we face as a society.
I agree with Ian - this isn't like pushing little girls to wear fashions geared towards 'appearing' sexual. It isn't pushing girls to become an adult before their time - its simply helping mothers teach their young how their bodies work.
Well how on earth did we manage before things like this....
Oh yes, parents actually took some responsibility for their children, took an interest in their lives, kept them on the straight and narrow and didn't expect the school or the rest of society to do it all while they watched telly or went down the pub!!
There should be no need for things like this but sadly this is symptomatic of the state society is in! Kids = responsibility and those who don't measure up shouldn't be allowed to breed..
Be serious Sam. Can you not see that a) the company have found a new gimmick to sell dolls and make money and b) it has absolutely nothing to do with parents not taking responsibility for their children.
People who find a problem with a breast feeding doll are making the same mistake as those who tell their children they were found underneath a bush! (unless they really were found underneath a bush but that is another story)
lol... a bit harsh maybe but I think there is merit in what I say.
Sorry, can't agree. The kind of people you're talking about wouldn't waste their hard won money on a breast feeding doll.

Olson cautioned that, had winter wheat been planted outside the levees in the fall of 2010, the wheat crop would have drowned. "Illinois farmers are aware of the flooding potential, especially in the winter and early spring, so they don't plant winter wheat on unprotected bottomlands," he said. "Consequently, there was no crop loss outside the levees in April and May of 2011. Local floodwater in the lower Cache River Valley, south of the Mississippi River Diversion and Dike, could not flow back into the Ohio River. It was blocked by the Cache River levee on the south side and by the closed gate at the Ohio River levee. Instead, water backed up and flooded forested and agricultural lands along the lower Cache River and north of the Cache River levee," Olson said.
Olson said that the damage to the land could have been much worse. "Land use changes, diversion ditches and levees, loss of wetlands and flood-holding capacity, internal channelization of the Cache River and tributaries, and an ever-changing climate have altered the hydrology of the valley, redistributed soil from fields and ditch banks into the river, and transported tons of sediment during flooding events into both the Ohio and Mississippi rivers," Olson said.
As the 2011 Ohio River floodwater reclaimed its ancient floodway, Olson says that the extent of these hydrologic changes and their social, economic, and environmental impacts have become more apparent. "The Great Flood of 2011 lends urgency to the reevaluation and implementation of the Cache River Watershed Resource Plan completed in 1995," Olson said.
He cited nine resource concerns that were identified: erosion, open dumping, private property rights, water quality, continuation of government farm conservation programs, Post Creek Cutoff stream bank erosion, open flow on the Cache River, dissemination of accurate and timely information throughout the watershed, and the impacts of wildlife on farming and vice versa.
"Most of these concerns still need to be addressed," Olson said. "Since that plan was created, there have been additional compromises/breaches that need to be repaired. As the repair and rebuilding of the valley infrastructure is undertaken, there will need to be a significant investment of human and financial resources to reduce the impacts of future catastrophic events."
"The 2011 Ohio River flooding of the Cache River Valley in southern Illinois," which was co-authored by Kenneth R. Olson and Lois Wright Morton, was published in a 2014 issue of the Journal of Soil and Water Conservation and can be found online at http://www.jswconline.org/content/69/1/5A.full.pdf+html.

Certified attention whore.
Yeah, that makes sense. If anyone thought that an elbow sprain that has had San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson on the shelf since April 13 would somehow lessen the weirdness coefficient that everything Brian Wilson does is multiplied by, well, they'd be wrong.
As you can see above, Wilson's choice of vehicular conveyance is pretty much exactly what one would expect out of the outrageous, bearded pitcher. The image was snapped by Giants fan Stephen Goldblatt last Friday nearby AT&T Park and if there has been an image of late that typifies Wilsonian strangeness, this certainly is a worthy candidate. Just look at that. Fear the Beard, indeed.
And the shoes are pretty slick, too. The kicks really tie the whole image together.
Certified attention whore.
His beard…..how dark can a beard be??? LOLL
And the shoes….the ugliest I've seen in a long time!
But IMO he look pretty cool…

What nonsense. For many Republicans, politics is a game and victory is achieved whenever a Republican is elected. Others care about what happens after the election. We want the government to stop growing or, better yet, shrink. For us, nothing has ever been won by electing Republicans. I am over 60 years old and, during my lifetime, there has never been a time when the government was not larger than it was a year earlier. Those of us who want smaller government must either get the Republican Party to stop nominating big-government candidates for office or else start a new party. The current Republican Party is a totally useless.

Justin Bieber has already marked his territory in Colorado ... pissing his initials in the snow ... while nearby residents looked on in disbelief.
An eyewitness tells TMZ ... Bieber and his crew were driving in Snowmass, CO, Sunday when his motorcade of Escalades pulled to the side of a private road in a wealthy residential area.
We're told Bieber hopped out, surrounded by bodyguards, and proceeded to whizz in the snow.
Bieber was gone in a flash, and stunned residents went over to inspect the scene ... where they say Bieber had peed his initials "JB" in the snow (PHOTO).
Probably not the smartest move when he's having trouble with cops ... but at least it wasn't a mop bucket.
haha this wanksta still at his hardcore ways so he decides to pull an "R.Kelly" on the snow lol
He spends a lot of time with his weiner in his hand!
I bet his mom is so proud.
Blame canada
So that's what Sizzurp looks like after you pee it all out...
Isn't he just adorable!?!
Exclusive? Gross. I was expecting a drunken peeing of his pants not this TMZ, gross. Theres no proof he did this BTW
That snow was in fact, eaten.
TMZ you are OBSESSED with JB.......so tired.
Test his for illegal drugs urine! Or ca ca can I drink it?
U guys are over reacting it's just ****ing pee! And I love justin but I thought he peed his pants not in the snow but still u guy are over reacting over piss on snow LIEK really hey a life it's just piss
he is a total loser. those poor residents will need therapy afyer looking at him. he needs to be put in jail and serve time instead of getting away with everything.
looks more like blood and not piss .... this kid is sick,
Why is taking a piss in the snow news?? This guy gets hated on way too much.
