I've always thought that camo is excessively tacky, and I would never wear it. However, I've been seeing it creep into stores and I can't deny that I'm starting to become a big fan. I can see it taking the place that leopard print has held recently as a "of the moment" print. In fact, these camo/leopard print loafers are the perfect combination of the two!

Why Nuclear Power Will Never be Safe
With the ongoing disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plants in Japan, some people ask: can nuclear power be made safe? The answer is no. Nuclear power can never be made safe.
This was clearly explained by Admiral Hyman Rickover, the "father" of the U.S. nuclear navy and in charge of construction of the first nuclear power plant in the nation, Shippingport in Pennsylvania. Before a committee of Congress, as he retired from the navy in 1982, Rickover warned of the inherent lethality of nuclear power—and urged that "we outlaw nuclear reactors."
The basic problem: radioactivity.
"I'll be philosophical," testified Rickover. "Until about two billion years ago, it was impossible to have any life on Earth; that is, there was so much radiation on earth you couldn't have any life—fish or anything." This was from naturally-occurring cosmic radiation when the Earth was in the process of formation. "Gradually," said Rickover, "about two billion years ago, the amount of radiation on this planet…reduced and made it possible for some form of life to begin."
"Now, when we go back to using nuclear power, we are creating something which nature tried to destroy to make life possible," he said. "Every time you produce radiation" a "horrible force" is unleashed. By splitting the atom, people are recreating the poisons that precluded life from existing. "And I think there the human race is going to wreck itself," Rickover stated.
This was Rickover, a key figure in nuclear power history, not Greenpeace.
The problem is radioactivity—unleashed when the atom is split. And it doesn't matter whether it's a General Electric boiling water reactor such as those that have erupted at Fukushima, or the Westinghouse pressurized water design, or Russian-designed plants like Chernobyl, or the "new, improved" nuclear plants being touted by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, a nuclear scientist and zealous promoter of nuclear technology. All nuclear power plants produce radiation as well as radioactive poisons like the Cesium-137, Iodine-131 and Strontium-90 that have been—and continue to be–spewed from the Fukushima plants.
Upon contact with life, these toxins destroy life. So from the time they're produced in a nuclear plant to when they're taken out as hotly radioactive "nuclear waste," they must be isolated from life—for thousands for some millions of years.
In the nuclear process, mildly radioactive uranium is taken from the ground and bombarded by neutrons—and that part of the uranium which can split, is "fissile," Uranium-235, is transformed into radioactive twins of safe and stable elements in nature: There are hundreds of these "fission products." The human body doesn't know the difference between these lethal twins and safe and stable elements. Also produced are alpha and beta particles and gamma rays, all radioactive.
In addition, much of the larger part of uranium, Uranium-238, which cannot split, grabs on to neutrons and turns into Plutonium-239, the most radioactive substance known.
In this atom-splitting, too, heat is produced—which is used to boil water. Nuclear power plants are simply the most dangerous way to boil water ever conceived.
Why use this toxic process to boil water and generate electricity? It has far less to do with science than with politics and economics—from the aftermath of the Manhattan Project to today During the World War II Manhattan Project, scientists working at laboratories secretly set up across the U.S. built atomic weapons. By 1945, it employed 600,000 people and billions of dollars were spent. Two bombs were dropped on Japan. And, with the war's end, the Manhattan Project became the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and more nuclear weapons were built. But what else could be done with nuclear technology to perpetuate the nuclear undertaking?
Many of the scientists and government officials didn't want to see their jobs end; corporations which were Manhattan Project contractors, notably General Electric and Westinghouse, didn't want to see their contracts ended. As James Kunetka writes in his book City of Fire about Los Alamos National Laboratory, with the war over there were problems of "job placement, work continuity…more free time than work…hardly enough to keep everyone busy."
Nuclear weapons don't lend themselves to commercial spinoff. What else could be done with atomic technology to keep the nuclear establishment going? Schemes advanced included using nuclear devices as substitutes for dynamite to blast huge holes in the ground—including stringing 125 atomic devices across the isthmus of Panama and setting them off to create the "Panatomic Canal," utilizing radioactivity to zap food so it could seemingly be stored for years; building nuclear-powered airplanes (this didn't go far because of the weight of the lead shielding needed to protect the pilots)—and using the heat built up by the nuclear reaction to boil water to produce electricity.
All along, the nuclear scientists—such as Chu now—attempted to minimize, indeed deny, the lethal danger of radioactivity and, like Nuclear Pinocchios, they pushed their technology.
Nuclear power plants—all 443 on the earth today—should be closed and no new ones built. As Rickover declared, nuclear reactors must be outlawed.
During the Bill Clinton campaign years ago, the slogan was, "It's the economy, stupid." With nuclear power plants, "It's the radioactivity"—inherent in the process and deadly.
Instead we must fully implement the use of safe, clean, renewable energy technologies like solar, wind (now the fastest growing energy source and cheaper than nuclear) and geothermal and all the rest which, major studies have concluded, can provide all the energy the world needs—energy without lethal radioactivity, energy we can live with.
KARL GROSSMAN, professor of journalism at the State University of New York/College at Old Westbury, has focused on investigative reporting on energy and environmental issues for more than 40 years. He is the host of the nationally-aired TV program Enviro Close-Up (www.envirovideo.com) and the author of numerous books.

Turkish PM asks protest representatives to convince those occupying Gezi Park to leave
ANKARA, Turkey - Turkey's prime minister on Friday urged a small delegation of protesters to persuade hundreds of others occupying an Istanbul park to withdraw.
Turkish activists leading a sit-in were considering a promise by Recep Tayyip Erdogan to let the courts and a potential referendum decide the fate of the much-despised Gezi Park redevelopment project — a plan that has sparked Turkey's biggest protests in decades. The pledge was made during last-ditch negotiations after Erdogan had issued what he called a "final warning" to protesters.
The two-week standoff has damaged Erdogan's international reputation and led to repeated interventions by riot police. After initially inflaming tensions by dubbing the protesters "terrorists," the prime minister has moderated his stance in closed-door talks in the last few days.
But Erdogan told party members Friday that the protesters in the park had "stayed long enough."
"'Go and speak to them ... Don't let us be forced into reverting to different measures,'" Erdogan said he had told the protesters' representatives.
Earlier in the day, Erdogan's ruling party announced that the government would suspend its plan to cut down trees in Gezi Park and install a replica Ottoman barracks until the courts could rule on its legality. And even if the courts sided with the government, a city referendum would be held to determine the plan's fate, officials said.
It remained far from clear, however, whether the overtures would work.
Erdogan has pledged to end the two-week protest but has also urged his supporters to rally in Ankara and Istanbul this weekend. Those demonstrations could raise tension between his conservative, Islamic base and the people occupying the park who are mostly — but not all — liberal- and secular-minded.
As night fell Friday, a festive mood pervaded the park, and the crowd of thousands swelled. Many sang songs or snapped photos of makeshift barricades erected by protesters.
The Taksim Solidarity group, two of whose members were in the meeting with Erdogan, has emerged as the most high-profile from the occupation that began last month. But it does not speak for all of the hundreds camping in the park, many of whom claim no affiliation to any group.
Bilge Seckin, a member of the umbrella group, said discussions in the park about Erdogan's initiative were continuing, but she sensed "the general feeling is that the people's requests were not addressed" during the talks with the prime minister.
"For instance on the police violence, there were requests that senior officials responsible be removed from duty," she said, referring to the protesters demands. "They (authorities) are saying that police officers are being investigated — which is not very satisfactory."
It was not clear when, or if, the protest groups would make a formal response to Erdogan's initiative.
Many protesters were still seething at how a peaceful protest has been sometimes overtaken as riot police clashed with groups of stone- and firebomb-throwing youths. Such scenes prompted the European Parliament to condemn the heavy-handed response by Turkish police.
A May 31 police raid to clear out the park ignited demonstrations that morphed into broader protests against what many see as the prime minister's increasingly authoritarian style of government.
Erdogan's opponents have grown increasingly suspicious about what they call a gradual erosion of freedoms and secular Turkish values under his Islamic-rooted party's government. It has passed new restrictions on alcohol and attempted but dropped a plan to limit women's access to abortion.
Mobilizing the courts and a referendum, however, could shield the prime minister from accusations of an authoritarian response.
"Until the courts give their final verdicts, no action will be taken regarding Gezi Park," said Huseyin Celik, a spokesman for Erdogan's Justice and Development Party, after the meeting. "Even if the court ... is in favour of our government's decisions, our government will hold a referendum to see what our people think — what they want and don't want."
Tayfun Kahraman, one of the Taksim Solidarity members who attended the meeting, said he believed Erdogan had offered "positive words," and that fellow activists would consider them in a "positive manner." But he said those in Gezi Park would "make their own assessments."
"We are Gezi Park and we decide. No one has the luxury to decide on our behalf," he said.
Suspicion within the park about Erdogan's tactics and motives remains widespread.
"The prime minister calls the people he pleases to the meetings and says some stuff," said demonstrator Murat Tan. "We don't care about them much. Today, we saved the trees here but our main goal is to save the people."
Analysts say the protests don't present a threat to Erdogan's tenure, but do threaten his legacy. Some say Erdogan would like to leave a mark on history, similar to that of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founding father of modern Turkey.
Erdogan himself sat in front of a portrait of Ataturk during the overnight talks at his residence in Ankara.

Carrie Lynn She is terrible…! She is put down by Lynn every Monday night…She is also silly…!! get rid of her!
I think that Carrie anne's favorite is zendaya andithink that what Z is doing is great and I know that zendaya will win DWTS I think.
Zendaya is great and will probably be the winner. However, I feel that she has an edge. As a Disney star she has probably danced since she was 3 or 4. Plus she sings and dances regulary in her shows and has learned to have that stage presence.
Zendaya may very well win DWTS this season due to her huge fan base, but that doesn't mean she is the best dancer. She certainly should be in the finale…but the winner…I'm not so sure. Right now I think its a toss-up between her and Kellie, but Aly is starting to come on really strong. She's opening up more each week. Then there is Jacoby with all the Ravens fans backing him. These four should be vying for the mirrorball. My vote is for Kellie…but who knows? It could be any of them.
Hoping Aly will win. Her dance to Titanium moved me so deeply, more than any dance has ever before. I think Zendaya will win because of her previous dancing advantage and being a Disney star, but still, fingers crossed for Aly.
Carrie Ann was way off track regarding Kelly Pickler last night. Kelly was extremely into that dance emotionally. Carrie should review the performace and retract her rediculous statement. K&D should have had straight 10′s! Also, her foolish comments regarding "farts" was unnecessary and unbecoming to her. This is also a family show. I have lost much respect for Carrie Ann this season.
The Dance-Off's were a really good idea, even with how imbalanced the skill levels of the different celebrities are this season. The head to head competition really brought the best out of Jacoby, and I bet athletes in particular would do well in that format. I missed the first part of the show because traffic was horrendous coming home from work at DISH last night, but thankfully I was able to catch up with a recording. I love how my DISH Hopper records everything on ABC during primetime, so I never miss a moment of DWTS!
I have always wondered how Derek always manages to get a small and younger partner every year. Surely he is and always has been the shows pet.
Was carrie ann drunk on Latin night? I'm at the point that I don't listen to her anymore!
Was carrie drunk? I don't respect her opinion anymore-she's silly

NASHVILLE — Gov. Bill Haslam has signed a bill that bans discussion of "gateway sexual activity" and directs an abstinence-centered approach to sex education in Tennessee public schools.
After earlier voicing indecision about what he intended to do with the legislation, which critics urged him to veto, Haslam went ahead and made the legislation law.
"The bill language and provisions are generally in line with our current standards and law," Haslam spokesman David Smith said in an email.
The bill says that sex education teachers employed by public schools or outside groups coming into schools cannot encourage "gateway" activities that stop short of actual sexual intercourse.
Critics charged the definitions were too vague, and the bill was lampooned by foes and late-night comics as attempting to ban discussion of kissing and holding hands, which proponents say it does not.

When was the last time the forward pass and the Chicago Bears were used in the same sentence? FOREVER! An oxymoron is a figure of speech that uses contradictory words…such as living death, or silent scream, or Bears passing offense.
The Chicago Bears record for passing yards is held by Erik Kramer when, in 1995, he passed for a staggering 3838 yards and a 60.3% completion rate as he threw for 29 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Truly exceptional numbers in Bear terms but in the 21st century, talented rookies are approaching those numbers in some instances. I thought about adding one of those lists of all the Bears QB's in the past 10 years or so, but I just don't have the time or inclination…just a yawn. Still I hold hope for an offense that is not offensive. For a day when I can proudly declare that the Bears passing attack is superior to that of the Vikings, Lions and Packers!
As Marc Trestman has installed the new offense, I have heard no mention of how difficult it is to learn. No mention of taking time to install. Not even a timeline for moving from simplification to complexity. All I have heard was how up tempo the offense is and how fast practice moved along. Truly exciting stuff for Bears fans. I predict that we will see the occasional no huddle offense at times that other teams don't expect it. In the NFL, you are either applying the pressure or you are under pressure!
In both Martz's and Tice's offense, the delays in calling plays was maddening . When Jeremy Bates arrived, the Bears added him to the chain of play calling…truly unbelievable! Perhaps, most importantly, the slow play calling was a signal to me that our coordinators were not thinking far enough ahead and contingency planning. When a play is called, the next two plays should already be running across the mind of the coordinator.
Will we see Jay Cutler running to he line, yelling "Attack, Attack" in order to catch the opposing defense with too many guys on the field or out of position? I dare to think so. These are the kinds of things an offensive minded head coach who calls plays will think of. He will call plays that work and will call plays that set up other plays…slant, slant and slant & go for a TD for example. Successful runs will actually parlay in to play action passing. We will see this rather than just hear the words. Words are cheap and easy…show me I say! Actions are what counts.
Jay Cutler's best year was 2008, with the Denver Broncos, where he amassed 4,526 yards and 25 TD's with 18 INT's. He threw for 62.3% that year as well. Cutler is a mobile QB with the potential to put up big numbers…he should have broken Kramer's passing numbers several times already but has been throttled by lack of protection, lack of effective play calling and a lack of WR talent to throw to. No more, Bear fans, as the team just became a whole lot better in all of those areas and we will see the impact this year. Just hearing the reports coming out of OTA's was enough to signal to me that the Bears offense is coming out of hibernation.
During the past few years, I listened to the Bears leadership say all the correct things about flexibility, attacking the opposing defense's weaknesses, adjusting play calling to suit the players talents, moving the pocket when needed etc only to watch the team struggle with pass protection, seven step drops and predictable play calling. Heck, I often guessed what the team was going to run for a play from my recliner. That is not a good thing! Every incomplete first down pass was followed by a second down run. Expect that to change in 2013.
I expect Cutler to break Erik Kramer's passing record this year. Expect Jay Cutler to pass for 4,500+ yards and over 61% pass completion rate. Expect 30+ TD's with less than 20 INT's. Expect big things from Cutler this year…short sets, and short passes followed by down field big plays. Cutler has too much talent and experience at this stage of his career to continue to underwhelm.
I also believe Emery and Trestman both think Cutler has the tools to get it done in Chicago as they made no move to bring in competition. Behind Jay Cutler, they have Josh McCown and Matt Blanchard on the roster. I did not care for so much cap space being used for last year's back up QB Jason Campbell. A rookie can lose games just as easily as an overpaid veteran. That move had the feel of a Lovie Smith reaction. There are very few teams in this league that can win consistently with a back up QB in the game so I'd rather see the Bears invest in offensive lineman that can pass protect.
The battle for the #2 QB spot between Blanchard and McCown may be closer than many fans know. Blanchard is an impressive looking QB with good arm strength and has shown accuracy as well. My surprise prediction is Blanchard taking the #2 spot behind Cutler in 2013.
It seems every year that this team creates excitement with various moves and this year is no different. Emery, Trestman…Bear fans are anxiously awaiting the unveiling of a potent offense in Chicago. Will this year be the year of the Bear?

These activists unwittingly are being used as pawns as a means to destroy the 1st Amendment, marching to the drum of their "leaders." With any movement, there is always risk of it being hijacked and moved forward by those whose main object and agenda is the further destruction of the Bill of Rights, in this case the 1st Amendment.
These gay activists boycotting businesses is a legitimate way to protest, provided they don't step beyond legal bounds at a place of business. It would appear however that their tactics are not those of "tolerance," nor fair mindedness or "kindness" as given by this first hand account.
Bigotry is defined as: "intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself."
In California, bigotry from the "No on 8″ side has been widespread, venom and hate spewed forth, vandalism, destruction of property and endless thievery of yard signs.
Anti-Religious Bigotry in England resulted with William Tyndale burned alive in the 16th century for printing the English Bible. This was the "tolerance" for religion in England that pushed boatload after boatload of Englishman to the eastern seaboard of America seeking freedom.
Thomas Jefferson swore eternal hostility toward any form of tyranny upon the mind of man:
"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
Religious Liberty was of the highest order and concern to these colonists, and the very first of their spelled out "Bill of Rights" reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
So, the First Amendment was to keep the damned hand of government tyranny off of religion, for "Congress shall make no law" concerning religion, and neither shall the damned Soviet Courts in the United States today. Prop 8 was not an "anti-gay" measure, but a 1st Amendment measure to protect religion from the wicked courts who are hostile and seek an inroad at slaughtering the First Amendment. Judges the ilk of Governor Lilburn W. Boggs of Missouri with his infamous "extermination order" against the Mormon's are ready and anxious to criminalize religion if they can do so.
An example of these most wicked courts. Recently, the USSR, Soviet US District Court in San Francisco ruled that "parental rights are severed" when a child crosses the threshold of the school. Where did this Stalin/Mao/Hitlarian ruling come from? Straight from a tyrannical hell, a US Court that is as un-American as anything you hear of today. People 30 years ago would have laughed you to scorn if you would have predicted a court ruling could take place in America that followed the Marxist ideology of the USSR. But, here we are. Such Soviet rulings have been made and will continue to be made. That ruling enforced a plank of the Communist Manifesto. Such Justices salivate for the ground work to be laid so as to criminalize and prosecute religion. Prop 8 put in a legal protection from their being able to do so over the marriage question.
Respecting religion and the "free exercise thereof," churches absolutely must defend against these damned, wicked courts who now "make law" which the 1st Amendment prohibits Congress from doing, regarding religion.
I hope, in a nutshell, this explains the real issue. What a damned lie to say this is "hate filled" by churches. Churches did not start this battle, but they shall be destroyed if they don't stand up and defend the 1st Amendment. It is their defense against hate filled judges who will begin criminalizing churches as soon as they can get an inroad to do so. Marriage as defined as a "man and a woman" is a buffer against such tyranny upon the 1st Amendment. Gay people can have every right and do so under the law. The only difference is their "domestic unions" are not given the legal definition to be a "marriage" which protects churches from a ruthless tyrannical government hell bent upon legislating it into oblivion by the Secularist High Priests of the State Religion of Secularism—the Judges.
Mormon's, more than any other people on earth today, perhaps, ought to know what governments can do, for in the 19th Century, the US Federal government sought to "destroy the LDS Church as an institution" as Gordon B. Hinckley expressed a while back. It is true, murder of leadership, their imprisonment, lootings, rape, robbings, plunder, seizure of assets, burning of temples, shutting down of temples, "extermination orders," it's all been had before, and is prophesied to transpire again. We're fools to let it come about easily by not seeking to ensure the 1st Amendment is of force, keeping judges damned hands from "making law" against religion and "the free exercise thereof." Thus, those crying that this is an unfair fight at "denying rights" from gay couples are liars, and the best line sophistry sold in the 2008 election year.
We can remember with those now who shall suffer with earning losses and being targeted, that they are standing noble. It was Neil A. Maxwell who warned against those who would be lesser saints, not willing to "risk" losing their place in the synagogue, though they did believe in Jesus:
"The Prophet's [Joseph Smith] life was thus one of high achievement amid deep disappointment. Brethren, how will we endure our own peaks and valleys? Will we so submit individually, or will we be 'stiff and refractory'?
"Joseph became fully consecrated and grew in a 'spiritual crescendo.' (History of the Church, 6:317.) Will we do the same, brethren, by witnessing to our families, friends, and flocks—not only through our verbal testimonies but also by our developmental examples? We can do this by becoming ever more visibly the men of Christ!
"Or will we be like those who were decent but who lacked the courage to declare openly for Jesus and who were afraid of losing their places in the synagogue? (John 12:42–43.) There are so many equivalent situations today, and some Church members are reluctant to risk losing their places! Each day we decide the degree of our discipleship. Each day we answer the question, 'Who's on the Lord's side? Who?' "
Then, this stunning end to his talk:
"Now, my brethren, 'these are [your] days' (Hel. 7:9) in the history of the Church. Mark well what kind of days they will be, days when, with special visibility, the Lord will 'make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations.' (D&C 133:3.) God will also 'hasten' His work. (D&C 88:73.) He will also 'shorten' the last days 'for the elect's sake'; hence, there will be a compression of events. (Matt. 24:22; JS—M 1:20.) Furthermore, 'all things shall be in commotion.' (D&C 88:91.) Only those in the process of becoming the men and women of Christ will be able to keep their spiritual balance. Brethren, may we 'walk by faith,' and, if necessary, even on our knees! In the name of the Lord of the universe, even Jesus Christ, amen." (Neal A. Maxwell, "'My Servant Joseph'," Ensign, May 1992, 37)
Elder Worthlin too said:
"Unfortunately, some in the Church may believe sincerely that their testimony is a raging bonfire when it really is little more than the faint flickering of a candle .. .
"Some people are weak in their faith and testimonies but are not even aware of how precarious their situation is. Many of them likely would be offended at the suggestion. They raise their right hand to sustain Church leaders and then murmur and complain when a decision does not square with their way of thinking. They claim to be obedient to God's commandments but do not feel at all uncomfortable about purchasing food at the store on Sunday and then asking the Lord to bless it. Some say they would give their lives for the Lord, yet they refuse to serve in the nursery." (Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Spiritual Bonfires of Testimony," Ensign, Nov. 1992, 34)
I think it is unfortunate that so many are now weak in testimony, failing to follow Ezra Taft Benson's repeated theme to "keep your eye" on the President of the Church, not looking with an eye of faith, with "all patience and faith." Here is amazing counsel of Harold B. Lee, which President Benson reiterated:
"We have some tight places to go before the Lord is through with this church and the world in this dispensation, which is the last dispensation, which shall usher in the coming of the Lord. The gospel was restored to prepare a people ready to receive him. The power of Satan will increase; we see it in evidence on every hand. There will be inroads within the Church. … We will see those who profess membership but secretly are plotting and trying to lead people not to follow the leadership that the Lord has set up to preside in this church.
"Now the only safety we have as members of this church is to do exactly what the Lord said to the Church in that day when the Church was organized. We must learn to give heed to the words and commandments that the Lord shall give through his prophet, 'as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; … as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.' (D&C 21:4–5.) There will be some things that take patience and faith. You may not like what comes from the authority of the Church. … But if you listen to these things, as if from the mouth of the Lord himself, with patience and faith, the promise is that 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name's glory.' (D&C 21:6.)" (In Conference Report, Oct. 1970, p. 152.)(Ezra Taft Benson, "Valiant in the Testimony of Jesus," Ensign, May 1982, 62)
May the Lord Help us all in the tests that will try us, as well as try our discernment of issues.

One of the annoying things about surfing around the web is that just about every website you visit wants you to create an account for yourself. To make matters worse, all of those accounts want to know a lot of the same information about you: your name, your address, your phone number, etc. Not only is typing that information over and over again more likely to result in a typo, it's also tedious.
Most websites also make you choose a username and password so that you can log in when you visit the site. If you're like 99% of the other web surfers out there you make your username and password the same for all of the sites you visit. From a security perspective that's a dangerous thing to do since it means that if any of those sites get compromised it may be possible for a hacker to learn your username and password and log into any of those other sites while masquerading as you.
Wouldn't it be great if you could create your account information once and have that information shared across all of the websites you visit? How about logging into your account once and not having to log in again as you surf around the web? OpenID is an open-source technology which may someday be able to turn that promise into a reality. How does it work? Let's check it out.
Getting an OpenID account
The first thing you have to do when using OpenID is, ironically, to create a new account. I know, I know — that's exactly one of the things we're trying to avoid with OpenID. Well, think of this step as a necessary evil. The idea is that you'll create your OpenID account once and then you'll be able to use that account on any site which supports OpenID.
So, where do you go to create this OpenID account? This is one of the more intriguing aspects of OpenID. There are actually a number of sites which allow you to create a free OpenID account and you're free to use any of them. There are slight differences in the services, though — some of these services, for instance, allow you to use a secure (HTTPS) connection when you log in, while others don't. Here's a partial list of sites which you can use to create your account. You can, of course, create accounts at more than one of these sites, although that kind of flies in the face of the whole OpenID concept.
- AOL (if you already have an AOL account you can just use that as your OpenID account — check it out at http://openid.aol.com/screenname)
- http://pip.verisignlabs.com (Verisign calls their OpenID solution "PIP" – "Personal Identity Provider")
- http://www.myopenid.com
- http://idproxy.net (let's you use your Yahoo ID as your OpenID)
The "username" which you get as a result of creating your account has a syntax that's a bit different than what you're used to seeing in a username — it looks more like a a web address (instead of a username of "skippy" the username will be something like "skippy.pip.verisignlabs.com"). That's certainly a bit harder to type but the idea is that you'll only have to type it in once for your entire browsing session. The syntax used in that username is also instrumental in making the whole OpenID system work, and we'll see why in the following example.
An OpenID Example
Rather than try to explain the process that a user goes through when he logs into a website using OpenID let's just look at an example. Here's what happens when you log into the OpenID-enabled site WikiTravel:
- You go to the WikiTravel site and enter your OpenID username (skippy.pip.verisignlabs.com, for instance). You don't enter a password at this point — only your OpenID username
- The WikiTravel site looks at your OpenID and determines which site you're using as your OpenID provider. In the case of "skippy.pip.verisignlabs.com" the site knows that the OpenID provider is http://pip.verisignlabs.com .
- WikiTravel contacts that OpenID provider and passes it a few pieces of information, including the name of the OpenID username you've entered.
- Your browser redirects to the OpenID provider's site (http://pip.verisignlabs.com). Your provider already knows the username that you've entered but now it wants you to enter your password.
- After you successfully enter your password the OpenID provider will ask you if you want to authorize the site you're trying to hit (WikiTravel) to use your OpenID name. It's at this point that the provider may also ask what, if any, additional information you'd like the provider to pass back to WikiTravel on your behalf. Maybe you'd like to pass back just your e-mail address, maybe you'd like to pass back your e-mail address and your shipping address, or maybe you'd like to pass everything back. (This is handled differently by different OpenID providers and is one of the features which distinguishes one provider from another.)
- Your browser sends you back to WikiTravel with a "cookie" signaling that you've successfully authenticated through your OpenID provider (http://pip.verisignlabs.com). At this point WikiTravel makes its own call to your OpenID provider to make sure that the entire transaction was handled properly.
- You get logged in WikiTravel and whatever personal information you authorized your OpenID provider to send to WikiTravel becomes part of your WikiTravel account.
It's important to note that you still have an account at WikiTravel which contains your name, phone number, shipping address, etc., just like you would have had if you'd decided not to use your OpenID and had registered for an account the "normal" way. One benefit that using your OpenID account provides you is that you don't have to enter all of that personal information, since you allowed the OpenID provider to share that information with WikiTravel.
Security Benefits
From a security perspective OpenID tackles a number of issues. The most obvious security benefit is that you'll no longer have your username and password stored at all of the sites you visit. Instead, those sites will have your OpenID, but won't have your password stored anywhere and, in fact, won't have any direct access to your password at all. Remember, the OpenID provider simply tells the site you're visiting whether or not you logged on successfully, not what password you entered.
A less obvious security benefit has to do with the fact that many of the OpenID providers allow you to sign in using SSL (the "s" in "https") so that the logon is encrypted and is protected from snoopers. Using one of these OpenID providers in essence makes the logon portion of all of the OpenID-enabled sites which you visit secure. Even if the site you're visiting has no SSL capabilities once you enter your OpenID you get redirected to the OpenID provider's page which will be using SSL and that means that your entire logon transaction is encrypted.
There is one major concern regarding OpenID, though, and it has to do with a possible "phishing" attack. A phishing attack is when a site pretends to be another site is order to trick the user into entering information. In the case of OpenID the possibility exists that the site you're visiting is either intentionally evil or has been compromised. You enter your OpenID and the site redirects you to a site that looks just like your OpenID provider's site. Everything looks right to you so you enter your OpenID password. The "fake" provider site captures that username and password and can now log into other OpenID-enabled sites pretending to be you. How likely is that to happen? Not very, but it's one of the major problems that the OpenID community is working to eliminate altogether.
OpenID Saturation
The benefits of OpenID won't be realized until there are more sites out there which allow users to register and logon using OpenID. At the moment there are only a handful of sites which are OpenID-enabled, although that list seems to be growing rather quickly (there are partial lists kept at http://www.openiddirectory and https://www.myopenid.com/directory). There are also extensions for popular applications like WordPress (via the WordPress OpenID Plugin) and PHPBB (via the PHPBB OpenID Extension) which make it easier for existing sites to retool themselves to accept OpenID registrations and logins.
Some of the larger players are also interested in OpenID, including AOL and Microsoft. AOL, in fact, recently created an OpenID account for each of their 63 million registered users (if you have an AOL account your OpenID name is http://openid.aol.com/screenname) and Microsoft has expressed interest in using OpenID in conjunction with its CardSpace initiative (built into Vista). Many other popular sites (such as Digg) have said that they're planning on integrating OpenID, although that integration hasn't shown up yet.
What OpenID is still missing is the "killer" application which will push the technology to the forefront of the internet. OpenID is already starting to gain a lot of traction — imagine what would happen if a company like Google would allow users to register using an OpenID account on any of their various properties (think GMail or YouTube). Until that killer application comes out, though, OpenID will have to just continue to gain momentum one site at a time.
In Conclusion…
OpenID is a great solution to a number of vexing internet problems. If you happen to notice that one of the sites you visit is now accepting OpenID registrations and/or logons go ahead and try it out. If none of the sites you visit can handle OpenID yet you can always see how it works on the WikiTravel site. Either way I think you'll find it a simple, elegant solution to the problem of identity on the world-wide web.

The Texas Rangers have eagerly been waiting on Jurickson Profar to return to the line the season. They have been using several replacements such as Donny Murphy, Josh Wilson, Rougned Odor and Luis Sardinas while he's been rehabing his shoulder.
Now the Rangers have learned that he has reinjured it and will not be back for 8-12 weeks. He told the Rangers he injuried it while moving in his bed. This is now another odd injury for the Rangers. They have had a player hit by a motorcycle, tripped by a dog, bad bed, bad pillow and now turning wrong in a bed.
Reports say that Profar has a Grade 2 strain in his right shoulder.
A Grade 2 strain means there is extensive damage to individual muscle fibers. The muscle is not ruptured. This requires at least 3-6 weeks of rest. (PhysioRoom.com)
Grade 2 strain on #Rangers Jurickson Profar, who has been shut down. No timetable on return, but probably 8 to 12 weeks.
— Richard Durrett (@espn_durrett) May 22, 2014
The Rangers have said they will not rush Profar back and this time will take his return even more slowly. That could mean it is possible for him to return late in the season, but it doesn't seem likely at this point.
It looks like the tandem of Luis Sardinas and Rougned Odor is here to stay. Both have played well so far, although the Rangers need Odor to improve his bat some.

Reporting for Kaiser Health News, in partnership with NPR, Eric Whitney writes: "Estes Park, Colorado, is weathering a tough season. Seven weeks ago floods wiped out all but one road into the small, tourism-dependent community adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park. Hotels and businesses were just getting cleaned up and the town was hoping to salvage some kind of fall color season, when the government shutdown hit, closing the park for ten days" (Whitney, 10/30).

Canton has done it again. This is a beautiful love story that you won't want to see end. Her sensational romance takes on social issues without preaching.
Paige Baldwin and Matthew Smythe meet when Paige ditches another endless blind date and Matthew escapes his brother's engagement party. The only single man there, he feels like the door prize. They end up in each other's arms, just for one night. But, oh, what a night!
Matthew, a high school history teacher, wants to see Paige again but doesn't know where she lives. Paige, who owns Bliss, Inc., a wedding-planning company, can't stop thinking about him either. When she wins a prestigious contract to plan the wedding of Michael Smythe and Jennifer Klein, it turns out that Michael is Matthew's brother. The duo is formally introduced, and their love affair burns up the rails between Long Island and Harlem. Will love triumph over race and class? (Genesis, Jun., 380 pp., $6.99)

Thanks! It's very on and off at this point, I don't think I'll be able to keep the brief momentum I had at the beginning, but I'll try to drop in here and there with a good eye-roller when I can!
I dunno about incest but yeah, some things that I have never really considered defensible are defended every day, but Anthony Weiner's personal life is something we should forget about him over.
The gentleman from New York did not act as a gentleman
Yeah, disappointed is definitely the word.
"slut shaming"
The general tumblr consensus is, "HOLY SHIT FUCK YOU REESE I AM A TOTAL SLUT AND THAT MAKES ME AWESOME"
Nothing in the quote said anything against personal sexual choice. No one gives a shit if you like to fuck, believe me. But the fact that it's well known that one can gain fame by showing their tits is pathetic and, yes, the system, the norm at this point.
Guess what, the system is dominated by men and isn't going to change anytime soon (big fucking surprise). So, maybe the means (or the influences people have) in which "celebrities" work their way to the top should be adjusted so that the work involved is actual work and not just putting out a sex tape in order to gain fame.
Or maybe I should just start posting n00dz to get my blog popular and shout down anyone who questions the quality of my output.
is that it looks like pretty much every other tumblr blog in existence (a trove of reblogged images of Mila Kunis, Tina Fey, Katie Perry, etc)…
it just sort comes out and says it specifically only gives a shit/focuses on white people.
I like that people are reclaiming the word. If everyone's a slut, then no one's a slut.
I think the slutwalk became a big thing after I took my break… maybe it didn't. WHATEVER. I haven't really gotten a chance to address it…
I support the concept behind the idea that, "insinuating someone was raped because of the way they were dressed or "how they were acting" is total bullshit… but isn't most of the discussion (we're ALL sluts LOL) just bringing the discussion to the lowest common denominator?
I don't remember Martin Luther King Jr. organizing any "n-word" marches to fight the injustice of institutionalized racism (which still totally exists so maybe you guys are right and MLK SHOULD have organized a "n-word" walk)
I haven't been posting much and there's not much of a reason why. I think maybe this blog had a very short shelf life and I reached it. There's only so many times you can look at someone being an asshole about food advice given to help people with financial restraints and make a joke about it. While Tumblr is full (full) of these instances of people wanting to complain about hypothetical horrific life situations that would prevent someone from PLANTING A GARDEN, and other nonsense like it, the gradual loss of interest that accompanies bringing to light how absolutely immature and shielded by the internet most of these people are is very strong.
I would just like to say why I created this blog. There was one specific instance that led me to realize how many shameless complainers there are on Tumblr that I left unnamed in my blog.
A few months ago, while reading the blog GreenState, I began seeing a wave of clutter being brought to that blog by the Tumblr blog Atchka. This person was sending wave after wave of messages to the GreenState over someone making fun of McDonald's and how disgusting they thought the food was.
The antagonizing bloggist sent multiple messages that included such terms as "fat shaming," "body policing," and would go on and on about other things that defended a company that is easily the biggest reason for a health epidemic the likes of which this country or likely planet has ever seen. Not only that, but the antagonizing blog claimed to be a supporter of greenstate's viewpoints.
And that was the start of the idea that was this blog. Something that I find very interesting on Tumblr is the amount of proponents of progressivism who will then tear apart other users for using a word they don't like. Or forgetting a "trigger warning." Or for taking a bash at McDonald's and those who willfully ignore the health risks it causes. Is Tumblr that petty?
I am taking a break from this Tumblr to forget that it very well may be… because, as it says on my page, "Tumblr is nice." It is a great blogging tool. But some of the people on here need to get their heads out of the clouds because: life will not provide a trigger warning; people should plant more gardens; most of America hasn't even begun to accept homosexuals yet so maybe cool your jets and don't lose your temper when someone accidentally "third gender"s someone; and people will continue to make documentaries about how McDonald's and companies like it are truly a factor in the destruction of people so don't get offended when someone takes an "anti McDonald's" stance.
Thanks for reading!

My 13 week baby bump. :) cannot wait to go to the doctor on Wednesday.
Here's my wittle bump from my POV. I'm so excited!
I've been having an awful time with nausea. It starts around 11am lasts till about 2pm and then starts back up around 8pm. It's awful because I can't puke. Well that changed last night. I had been feeling just terrible all day, sleeping is the only thing that helps me not feel nauseous. So I actually slept until 4 pm yesterday. The only thing I had ate was Cherrios. So I was headed to my sister's to watch Big Brother, but I was starving, so I had my honey fix me some Spaghettios. Boy was that a mistake. I almost finished the bowl and then it hit me. I was finally going to puke. I ran to the bathroom and threw up so much more than one bowl of Spaghettios. And let me just say Cherrios are so nasty coming back up, it looks like cat poop. I'll probably never eat Cherrios again. I did have another bowl of Spaghettios after I cleaned up though. :D I'm a freak, I know.
A Michigan Mobile! How cute is this?! And it plays "The Victors". Hubby keeps telling me that I'm not even a fan, but how can you resist such cute stuff? Michigan is a big deal for his family so this is my way of bringing us all together I guess. Plus Mama loved bears so it all works out.
My daddy and brother are big University of Kentucky fans, so I have to incorporate the Wildcats somewhere, too bad the UK mobile is not as cute as this one.
U of M it is!
Hubby's family is a University of Michigan family. My mother in law is coming home to visit in 2 weeks and is brining the baby a U of M jersey. So excited!
I probably shouldn't be eating these McDonald's Cinna-Melts, but omg were they good. Is it too early to say the baby wanted it?
This is so cute. Another goodie found at Kroger. It's a Baby Booty Corsage. So adorable.
When I have this little baby I want one of these bouquets. Found them at Kroger! :)
vanna-elaine reblogged your photo: We bought the baby it's first outfit.
THIS IS SO CUTE! Where'd you get this?!
We got it at our local Dollar General. They have all kinds of little onesies. They are so adorable.

Shir Tikvah's Financial Information is provided to give you an idea of where money comes in and where it is spent.
Frequently Asked Financial Questions
Does Shir Tikvah have a balanced budget? The Finance and Administration committee work very hard to create a balanced budget. Last year (which ended the year on June 30th we had a small surplus). But Shir Tikvah is carrying a historical deficit of just over $70,000, this has build up over the years, primarily because of the recession and staff change over and the associated costs. For the past two-years the Finance and Administration put in the budget an $18,000 contingency to cover unexpected costs, which we will have with the staff change taking place.
Do "Annual Pledges" (formally called Dues) and fees cover expenses? No pledges and fees (school/adult ed/etc.) cover about 76% of Shir Tikvah's annual operating budget. Shir Tikvah's board designated endowment (Shir L'Atid), building rental and Minneapolis Federation Support make up about 10%. The development committee works to provide inspired moments for joyful giving such as Give to the Max, High Holy Day Contributions, Great Gatherings, and Memorials and Tributes to raise the remaining 14%.
Is each family paying their fair share? If you took our budget $967,000 and divided it by number of household (460), the amount needed to cover our cost per household would be about $2,100, which is about the cost of sending 2 children to religious and Hebrew school for a year! Our average pledges (dues) is about $1,100 - we always seem to need to raise another $130,000 - $150,000 from the congregation each year. Some families contribute more because they can some due what they can - all is appreciated and we don't turn anyone away.
Why should I pay $2,100 (or about $180 per month) if I only go to Shir Tikvah a few times a year? Shir Tikvah is here for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you are ill or a loved one dies, the clergy are here for you. At joyous times in life - anniversaries, weddings, baby namings and B'nei Mitzvah, we are here for you. Shir Tikvah never sleeps and so your financial support keeps us going to stand up for what is right (or left) in the community at large and makes sure we are here for all of you when you need us.
The Finance and Administration Committee meets the third Tuesday morning at 7:30 am if you wish to attend please contact the treasurer so we know in advance who is attending and we can welcome you and get you material before the meeting which helps in the preparation.
