(Excerpt) Read more at opm.gov ...
Wow. 2 days.
Quick, quick, is the Montgomery County government closed? That's the one that matters to ME! :-D
Damn, been trying to get ATF curio and relic today,
trying to find out what to do with a deceased friends
C&R collection.
And Obama wants to have the GOP over for health care tea and cookies to save his sinking butt.
Four day weekend.
Too bad it can't snow until 2012.
Four days safe from "our" government.
Which is their C&R forum might have some advice for you.
(or you could sell them to me, cheap. LOL)
Two and a half days. They had a four hour early dismissal Friday due to the snow.
I remember when Gingrich and the boys threatened to shut down the government back in the 90s. It took the maggots in the "media" about 30 seconds to find some liberal piggie whose "grandmother in Italy was dying". Supposedly, the whole world was going to come to an end if he didn't get his passport stamped. It's a good thing grandma croaked before this storm hit.
Yellow snow cone ping!
The Rove-Cheney Weather Control Machine...Rove, you magnificent bastard!!!! LOL
"(or you could sell them to me, cheap. LOL)"
Sorry, that was rude of me.
I seriously wonder if I will make it in to work at all this week.
My husband is driving me crazy—he needs to go to work, like NOW
Drat. Montgomery County government will be open.
Not rude, I hope she will give me at least one,
we were friends and both started our collections
at the same time. we had lots of fun working
on them and trying to come up with new items.
Also need to know what to do
for my collection should any thing happen to me.
We were having lunch last week and he had a stroke
at the table, we got him to hospital and thought
he would be ok, but he had several more and was gone.
Nice collection, not many Nagants which is what
I collect, but a nice M-42 swede Sniper with scope
and case, a Zouave, an FR-8, and all manner of mausers.
Will miss him calling me and saying , "Guess what
Iiiiii've got!!".
Can you imagine the embarassment, the pain, the destruction of self esteem?
Can you imagine the suffering?
Can you imagine being a federal employee and being told you are not essential and not to report today?
Will harm or good or neither come to us from a two day hiatus of politics and paper pushing?
I hope not. The three feet of snow we got this weekend shut everything down and I can not even imagine what twelve feet more will do.
Mosins for me too. With Mausers in reserve. I find that the price of one mauser will equal 2 or more mosins. I'd post a pic but photobucket seems to be acting up for me tonite.
Do you think G-d might let it keep snowing there until about June if we pray hard enough? ;)
The Pew Charitable Trusts should offer a huge cash reward for the best snow statue. Perhaps the treasury department could ask Kinko's to run off a few hundred thousand extra bankruptcy anticipation notes for the lucky winner. Maybe the labor department would count this as part of the "employed".
Collect mostly Finns, 91s, 27s, etc.
Used to get them fairly cheap but not
so much now.
MY favorite is a 1927 Tikka 91 with a heavy barrel,
love to shoot it and quite accurate too.
finns are cool. the owner of http://gunsnammo.com has some nice ones
How long has it been since the feds were closed two days in a row?
Ak Polish underfolder.
Yugo sks 59/66
Ak m-65 built as bullpup.
Aks made to ATF spects on commercial receivers.
Have you shot the 44 at night yet?
I have one that the barrel had to be shortened by two
inches because of bore wear.
It throws out a fireball about three feet in diameter!
I like the SKS. Wood and iron rule
The seat of power of the world's preeminent superpower made incapacitated by a simple snowstorm.
While brave men and women fight and die in inhospitable lands, the Federal government takes a "snow day".
(Although, not having them "working" does not mean they're not still metastasizing)
Someday I will shoot the m44 at nite. no venue for it right now. I'd like to see my m95 Steyr carbine at nite sometime, too.
(what's left of) our liberty and property are safe for another day or so...

ArcelorMittal, Gold Fields Win Carbon Tax Delay
After objections from heavy polluters, including metal companies ArcelorMittal and Gold Fields, South Africa has delayed implementing a carbon tax until 2015.
In his budget speech this week, minister of finance Pravin Gordhan said the government will tax carbon emissions beginning in 2015 at a rate of R120 ($13.37) per ton of CO2e on 40 percent of a company's emissions. The tax will rise 10 percent a year until 2020.
Gordhan said the tax-free exemption threshold of 60 percent will "soften the impact" to businesses, and said the government will set additional allowances for heavy-emitting industries.
The treasury previously said it would impose the tax this year.
Sven Lunsche, a spokesman for Gold Fields in Johannesburg, told Bloomberg his company welcome the delay of the carbon tax, which he says will only add to the rising cost of doing business. He also questioned whether carbon tax revenue would actually be used to fund nationwide carbon mitigation.
Shares of ArcelorMittal dropped more than 6 percent on Wednesday following South Africa's carbon tax announcement, Reuters reports.
The electricity sector, the metals industry and transportation produce about 80 percent of South Africa's CO2 emissions, according to government estimates. During the 2009 Copenhagen climate change talks, South Africa said it would reduce its GHG emissions by 34 percent by 2020 and 42 percent by 2025 — with financial and technical support from developed countries.
In his budget speech, Gordhan said the government will direct spending toward environmental programs, such as installing solar water heaters, procuring renewable energy, low-carbon public transport, cleaning up derelict mines, and addressing acid mine drainage.
He also encouraged the private sector and smaller public entities to develop low-carbon projects through the government's Green Fund for low-carbon initiatives, and said the government has allocated an additional R300 million ($33,435,000) on top of the program's original R800 million ($89,160,000). In the first call for proposals, the Green Fund received 590 applications. The second call for proposals opened this month.

The animation is far more advanced than the previous movies, with LOTS of computer generated imagery, and some SFX shots that are Matrix-esque. This movie is a very nice piece of eye-candy indeed(There's a scene where a flood starts to brew from afar, which sent a chill up my back). The traditional hand-drawn animation is good too, though there are many times where the characters seem to be drawn with black outlines that are a little too big. Thankfully Miramax left in the original orchestrated music, which is beautiful, mixing traditional anime orchestral pieces with Italian music. Heck, they even left in a JAPANESE song during a certain part of the movie!Read more ›
I really think the movie would've done a lot better if there were more advertisments. I found out about it by literally going onto a theater site, and seeing what was playing. Also the fact that it was only a limited release movie, that people didnt know about it.
But, I hope there are commercials and previews for the Video and DVD Release. That will help a lot!
Thanks so much for taking time to read my review! :)
You may have noticed that there were absolutely NO advertisements when Pokemon Heroes was out in theatres. I truly think it would've done better if people knew about it!
I am also disappointed at the time the movie is coming out. It was originally in the middle of December, but they decided to change it to mid January. It would've been a huge seller for the Chrismtas Season.
Well, for the movie, I thought it was awesome. The storyline was great, graphics were sensational, dubbing was better than usual, everything was better (For more info, refer to my review from a few months ago)!
I definitaly recommend this to every Pokemon fan out there!
Thanks for taking time to read my review!
The story is somewhat original, however, does tend to fall into the previous traps that the previous 4 have. While Ash is the centerpiece of the series and the films, less emphasis needs to be put on this character and more emphasis on the other companion characters in the series.
Aside from some of the minor shortcomings in the story, the animation and the music in this film make up for this. All in all, this is a film that can be enjoyed by FAMILIES and fans young and old. A well done and very well deserving piece of work.

In the four months between election day of 1932 and his swearing-in in March of 1933, FDR refused all opportunities to cooperate with the outgoing President Hoover in dealing with the banking crisis. By the day FDR ascended to office, the Great Depression had reached a nadir of national despair.
Immediately upon entering the White House, FDR closed the banks, using a document that had been prepared months earlier by Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury. Soon thereafter, departing from the script left by Hoover, FDR called in the nation's gold. That is, FDR asked the American people to assist their government by lending it their gold for the duration of the crisis. Trusting citizens by the millions went to their banks and handed over gold coins and bullion, in return for which the U.S. government issued gold certificates that specifically promised to repay the bearer in an equal sum of the yellow metal. But by mid-1934, FDR had devalued the nation's currency by over 40% and repudiated the promise to return the gold to the people.
This tyrannical act of gold confiscation, and numerous other of FDR's imperial actions as president, form the subject of Garet Garrett's writing.Read more ›
Note: This book is available for free download on the von Mises website.
The first essay, "The Revolution Was", is the most important in the book. It was written in 1938, and Garrett shows how the Roosevelt New Deal constituted a revolution that overthrew the American form of government. The first two paragraphs are so powerful, I will simply quote them: "There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom. There are those who have never ceased to say very earnestly, `Something is going to happen to the American form of government if we don't watch out.' Those were the innocent disarmers. Their trust was in words. They had forgotten their Aristotle. More than 2,000 years ago he wrote of what can happen within the form, when `one thing takes the place of another, so that the ancient laws will remain, while the power will be in the hands of those who have brought about revolution in the state.Read more ›
From the first glance at this book it is obvious that it isn't your normal read. The dust jacket for this book is not the normal monocolor jacket you would expect from similar books. The jacket consists of two pages of reviews from important figures from every niche of society that praise the book. On my particular copy, a widow had written a note to the recipient who was a friend of the deceased husband. She took the time to note that "he would want you to have this book". It was so important to the husband, he had stamped the book in several places with his name and address. It is quite obvious that the people of the time looked at this book as something special.
The book is a collection of three essays by Garet Garrett which were snapshot's of our country politically and economically that harpooned the actions of our government and casted down a ray of light on truths that were ignored. Three main topics were the actions of the government during The Great Depression, the movement of the country toward socialism and the American empire. There is a great deal of excellent journalism in this book with quotes from leaders all along the political spectrum that make the disingenuity of our actions blatantly obvious. Garrett takes time to show how both sides of the isle have succombed to political pressures to the detriment of our country.
Rarely have I found someone capture a period with such clarity. This is a true gem that any person who values truth or is interested in economics, politics or history whould have in their collection.

Skip to comments.Palin's lawsuit against Random House may have to be settle out of court because of "Discovery" phase
Posted on 09/26/2011 9:09:51 PM PDT by Bigtigermike
Just got off on the phone with a friend in the legal field and she says that a potential lawsuit against Random House by anyone of the Palin family involved in the "trash book" will most likely be quietly settled out of court because the idiot McGinniss opened up Random House to a whole lot of trouble and gives the Palin's an upper hand and GIFT in Court because McGinniss waived attorney client privileged between him and RH by talking about it to a third party (Jesse Griffin) and thus Palin's lawyers are entitled to ALL correspondence from Random House concerning the book.
My friend say that Random House may have a lot of leftists there and may hate Sarah Palin with a passion but its pure suicide for them legally to open up their correspondences in the "discovery phase"....they may have more damning info in those correspondence that was meant only for "Random House Eye's Only".
She said Random House and Jon Meachem may do a kabuki dance in the public defending the book and its "sourcing" on these false allegation but behind the scenes they will most likely quickly call for a settlement before the case got to discovery phase or even before the case is brought forth.
Legally, The Palin family has Random House and Joe McGinniss is a terrible legal bind.
(Sarah, Will that be in 20's or 100 dollar bills?)
Heh heh heh. Get 'em Sarah!
So you are saying your and/or your friend feels that Palin will settle out of court for a large sum rather than pursue the case in court (which the lawyer feels she will win) and ALSO clear her name by doing so? Why? Just to save on the lawyers fees for the court case?
I don't get it.
So Random House will be legally called Sarah House, right? It takes a lot of money to run the 2012 campaign so this would be an appetizer.
Sarah has Random House by the balls and she can squeeze very hard if she wants to. I hope she does. Let's see what's in their files. McGinness is a fool and he proved it big time. Nail his ass to a smokehouse in Wasila.
She could break Random House and McGinnis and teach all the PDS people a lesson. They were beginning to think they could get away with anything at all against her. Then they went waaayyyy too far thinking they were safe. Hahahahaha.
"Palin's lawsuit against Random House may have to be settle out of court because of "Discovery" phase"
Your title is misleading. No suit has to be settled. Suits are settled when both sides view a settlement their best NET result.
This suit may be settled if Random House and the dumb author really has given the Palin's the hammer that it seems. As Mark Levin said tonight, the dumb author has pierced attorney client privilege with which ever attorneys he was referring to in his e-mail. That means the lawyers are open to discovery and testifying under oath. Random House may well try to buy their way out of having their attorneys deposed.
The problem that I see is that our politics have reverted back to a base level that would make the Roman Republic look classy. We are having a internal cold war and it's about to get hot.
In such a settlement whether winning the court case or just settling it before it goes to court ....the book will be pull, RH would most likely have to declare the allegation are false and a settlement payment will be dealt.
That's basically what going to happen whether they win or settle it - its the same results
Amen to that! Agree 100% !
This comes as a great shock..
It will take me considerable effort to digest.
What, you say- Sarah Palin is still standing?
Mat 19:6 ... What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
This is another example of Godly favor. How many times have we seen traps set for Sarah and they end up taking down the setter and those involved. That is Spiritual Warfare.
"Legally, The Palin family has Random House and Joe McGinniss is a terrible legal bind"
Hehehehe, I sure hope so. Deserves them right for writing and printing such trash.
True or not, if it were to go to court, a lot of stuff that did not appear in the book could be perused publicly.
Esther 7:10 - So they hanged Haman on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai (the Jew).
1. It is almost impossible for a public figure to win a defamation lawsuit.
2. Truth is an aboslute defense to defamation. That means that SP and Todd can get deposed about their marital life. Glenn Rice would also be deposed.
Filing a defamation suit would be the worst thing the Palins could do.
What a stupid, stupid post.
It's not clear that the book has damaged her.
I vote no on suing. Lawsuits take over your life and not in a good way.
So what. They had the "public" help them (the media) go through 24 thousand of her emails, hoping to find dirt, and all they found was that she' was a very engaged, thoughtful governor who actually cared about the people of Alaska!
Too bad we might never get to know who funded that pervert McGinniss to set up camp in a rented lake-front house 30 feet from the Palin house and set up surveillance of the Palin children's windows.
Did Glen Rice claim he had a relationship or one night stand with Palin? No he said no such thing
Plus you didn't even read what was said... RH doesn't want it's lawyers and their correspondence exposed, they will most likely end it before it even got off of the ground
whatever! You need to read McGinniss private email to Jesse Griffin and what that means legally, that even the leftist media cancelled appearances with him because of legal potential trouble, the discovery phase is damning for RH
$25million and a public retraction...retraction of every point on her list...with a promise to fire everyone involved, named, should be sufficient.
If she offers this, they will settle.
It's cut and dry.
To top it off, NOBODY IN ANY MEDIA ORGANIZATION will ever mention any of the specifics of the book...and it will be pulled from the shelves, never to be seen again.
Every new airing of the lies warrants another suit of even greater monetary value.
I concur 100%.
I vote no on suing. Lawsuits take over your life and not in a good way.
Translation: Hey everybody, get your free shots on Palin....no penalty, no fines, no backlash. Oh, you might get some temporary heat from the bizz or conservatives but as long as you get some street cred with the libs (and cashed the advanced check) you're fine.
Sounds like the bogus etheics complaints which almost drove her to bankruptcy.
I would classify that as more info then we need to know.
legal ping. Doesn't make sense.
Even if the emails DO lead up to the White House...what're they gonna DO about it?
Remember who runs the Dept. of Justice.
Unless SOMEHOW that tidbit gets out to the public (IF it's true and it very well may be), which MSM outlet is going to tell anyone? How is it going to get disseminated to the voting public? WE the Patriots suspect the DNC and Barry the Boob to LIKELY be behind it all. How would we convince the public?
IF it leads to O-Crap and his merry band of sycophants, THEN can we march on DC with torches, pitchforks, and various instruments of destruction? I'm getting tired of this...
Just think if discovery uncovered RH and JM correspondence with political figures of a certain persuasion. that would be so juicy. But doubt if RH would be willing to run that risk.
She needs to squeeze that German company and teach the scheming dishonest ba$tards a lesson.
I'd much rather Sarah go all the way to trial with this. This is about more than money. I'm am hoping this goes through massive amounts of discovery.
The question will be what does Sarah want out of this? I would think she could have whatever she wants. Good for her. Sarah and her family deserve everything they can get out of these fools!
Maybe she won't offer a deal.
Maybe she wants to drag them through the courts and make them give her all their files, letters and email pertaining to McGuiness. Some of which will likely be incriminating.
Maybe she wants to break them.
A polite, lawyerly way of saying she has em' by the short hairs!
It's not a stupid post...and one has to wonder about the lack of knowledge of those that so contend.
If Glen Rice is deposed and says it happened, if the business partner is deposed and says it happened...the most scurrilous of the allegations will have been at least partially proven.
Truth IS an ABSOLUTE defense...especially if the person is a public figure. If it happened, RH and the author are off the hook 100%.
That is all too plausible. Hmmm....
That is blasphemy.
Not if everything is a lie. The Palins know exactly what they are doing. The scum have to open up all their emails and leak of no sources. It is going to look really stupid when the only sources you have are anti-Palin bloggers that make stuff up.

I'm sure all of that crossed their minds. Maybe they aren't concerned at all with the deposing of Glenn Rice and the former business partners.
So you would have to assume the Palin attorney knows all that just as well as they do, and thus if the Palins go forward with the suit it is probably because they are certain RH & McG cannot defend via truth.
I still think going forward is a mistake, however, because it is a distraction, a way to put unhelpful noise on her campaign signal, so she should avoid it if possible, just settle. But the threat to follow through has to be sincere or there will be no real pressure to settle, other than uncertainty. That of course may be enough. Lawyers are risk averse by nature. That works in favor of the Palins.
"In such a settlement whether winning the court case or just settling it before it goes to court ....the book will be pull, RH would most likely have to declare the allegation are false and a settlement payment will be dealt.
Thats basically what going to happen whether they win or settle it - its the same results"
Got it - thanks.
PALINS Business partner already came out publicly and said that it was a lie about the affair with Sarah last week!
I think your problem is that YOU think that these sexual allegations are true or WANT them to be true!

What Does "Hookup Culture" Really Mean? And Is It A Good Thing?
Much like "having it all," the term "hook-up culture" is one of those phrases that gets bandied about far too easily — and in many cases, thoughtlessly. You've heard it deplored as an apocalypse of traditional values, lauded as proof that women are finally seizing sexual liberation, and dropped into research journals in a questionable attempt at appearing hip. This vague, ill-defined phrase is quite the source of contention — much to the annoyance of many college students who are just doing what feels natural.
For our part, we will always side with any system that allows women to explore their sexuality in whatever way feels most comfortable. So, while we're pleased that this recent feature in The Atlantic, by Hannah Rosin, takes the view that "hookup culture" provides an opportunity for young women to experience true sexual freedom, the author's underlying attitude toward sexual culture at American colleges and universities is actually even more interesting to us than her thesis.
The women in this article — some interviewed directly by the author and others quoted from various books, studies and articles — are generally portrayed as being in opposition to casual sex. Either they have been "socialized" to "tolerate" a high level of sexual crudity by their experiences in business school and on Wall Street, or they are desperately trying to deal with the prolonged lack of intimacy of a string of one-night stands.
Though they may be owning it in on the surface, Rosin does not allow these female students a psychological and social ownership of their status as players in the hookup game. But that's probably more symptomatic of society's general attitude towards women and sex than Rosin's own bias — and she does do her part to combat those attitudes. She notes that statistically, just as many young men as women report wanting more intimacy in their relationships, and she gives women today credit for having "...vastly more control over their actions and appetites than we have been led to believe. You could even say that what defines this era is an unusual amount of sexual control and planning."
That said, we do take issue with Rosin's apparent conflation of sexual abuse and intolerance with a culture of casual sex. She shares one university's story of frat boys chanting "no means yes" outside of freshman dorms, and of course, we heartily agree that that sort of behavior is intolerable. But precisely what place does it have in this article? While it's perhaps natural that such an incident would come up in a discussion with college students about the sexual atmosphere on American campuses, we think this piece does a disservice to women by inferring that this kind of disgusting faux-machismo is a natural consequence of engaging in casual sex. Blurring the line between a community's tolerance of sexual flexibility and its fostering of abusive or inappropriate behavior endangers the agency that feminists (both male and female) have worked to gain for decades. If we're not careful to separate sexual freedom and sexual deviance (like insults, harassment, and rape), we risk losing that freedom altogether — all in the name of safety.
We're not saying Rosin didn't do her research; she's clearly well-informed on the subject. But information is no substitute for experience, and we can't help but think that if this article had been written by a college student who was living and breathing the culture in question, it might have felt a bit more honest to the experience. The real problem with the whole idea of "hookup culture" as an academic term is that we so rarely hear from the actual women (and men!) who participate in it. Sure, they're interviewed on occasion and studied in psych labs, with their answers recorded in polls and surveys. But when will magazines like The Atlantic, magazines that love to comment on this section of culture despite having a staff mostly dissociated from it, start featuring articles featuring opinions coming straight from the horse's mouth?
Let's start in the comments: tell us, college kids and recent grads: how does so-called hookup culture affect you?

Exciting Update - We have secured something fantastic: Fabrice will offer a complimentary one on one Strategy session to a very limited number of selected members attending on the night (valued at $750)
This year we are opening up our Awesome Entrepreneurs series with something a bit different.
We wanted to hear from someone that coaches and works with getting the best out of entrepreneurs. Meet Fabrice Beillard. He works with SMEs to drive growth and optimise what we do in our businesses. Fabrice will share stories of how he has worked with companies to take them from $2million T/O to $40 million T/O within 4 years with a limited budget - using only a small tweak in their business systems and focus.
Before coaching, Fabrice was an entrepreneur. His first company was an accounting firm which he grew to over $500k within a few months. He also has some personal experiences in business - lessons learnt about business partnerships and equity share. He has also worked for global companies like BNP Paribas, Peugeot and others.
Fabrice was recently featured in the Sydney Morning Herald and was asked his 1 piece of advice for entrepreneurs. This was his response, "You can be organised and productive, or you can satisfy your ego and be busy, and usually not earning money." Focus on the end result. What will give you the most leverage? There's also nothing wrong with saying no occasionally. Value your time and make it count."
Fabrice is going to be sharing a lot about optimising systems and businesses processes - so if this is something you need to start thinking about in your business, come check Fabrice out. If you are not there yet, come so you start with the end in mind and can handle growth.
Fabrice told us that many times that when he sometimes mentored start- up businesses they were usually only worried about getting cash flow and customers and reluctant to build a proper business from the start. Following some of his principles like Super Growth (Business Success Pillars, Low cost and no cost online and offline lead generation) that he will share on the night, you will understand it is not really a question of whether the clients will come but making sure you are ready to service them as many of his clients testimonials show including multi-million dollars successful business owners. We thought that one from on of his Canadian clients was the funniest: When you told me that all of sudden clients will come. It is happening now and I am happier than a pig in sh-t. ;-)
What: Awesome Entrepreneurs with Fabrice Beillard
When: 6:30PM - 9PM, March 20th (Talks start at 7pm sharp)
Where: Vibewire Hub, 525 Harris Street, Ultimo 2007
Cost: Payment before RSVP, $10 non members, $5 for Frank team/ Lab members
Help..I am new. Where do I make the payment for the above function?

I have recently installed Word Press on a new blog, and it has gone absolutely haywire. I see that some of the problems have been reported elsewhere on the forums, but they don't seem to have a resolution, and there seems to be a significant underlying issue in this case, so here are the problems I have:
1. Can't add new categories (I know this is an ongoing problem for many.)
2. Can't add new users.
3.Can upload images, but can't send them from the upload box to the editor window.
4. I have deleted that "Hello World" post more times than I care to count, every time I login, the darned thing is back again.
Whenever I try to do any of these things, I click the 'send to editor', or 'add', or whatever the little grey button happens to be named for the particular function I am trying to use, and it simply sits there and does nothing.
Was this latest update simply incredibly buggy so much as to pretty well be non functional? I am using the 2.2 on another site and it is working fine. This latest 2.3 version seems to be a train wreck.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hmmm what to say...? As so many other reviewers have said, the first half was really good. Believable dystopian society setup, a sympathetic main character, interesting fresh idea... And then about halfway through it just fell apart. Some of the things that happened were WAY out of character for the protag, and changed my feelings about the whole book. And then all the religious propaganda at the end, I don't get it. This could have been so very very interesting given the rather original plot line... Oh well.
I really wanted to give 3.5 stars. The opening was a WOW! It grabbed me from the first line. Unfortunately, it lost momentum for me towards the end. I feel like some story lines just ended instead of being closed, and it was anticlimactic as well. I wanted more from such a great beginning. However it was still an enjoyable read.
I saw Jordan speak at a very, very small reading at my local library (literally 12 people including me and the two librarians) and I was impressed. Not only by the novel's premise, but by Jordan herself. Although I didn't get the nerve to talk to her (I hadn't read the novel yet, it had only been out for a few days at this point) and I've been kicking myself ever since.
The horrifying - and all too plausible - future in this novel was intriguing, and Jordan backed up a great idea with perfect prose and a completely readable style. Of course, I totally predicted the ending a few times, but I was happily wrong. I would gladly revisit Hannah and her life in another novel, but I have a feeling Jordan has moved on to bigger and more brilliant things.
This was the inaugural selection for my book club, and all in all it was a great read. I'm a relative novice when it comes to book clubs, and this is the first one that I've ever started. We threw a bunch of books into a hat, and this was the randomly selected choice.
Just reading the book blurb had me intrigued by the story. "When She Woke" is an obvious dystopian bastardization of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter." While I'm familiar with the books premise, I have not read it. It is on my "Bucket List"of books to read.
I bought the book the very next day, and I eagerly began reading it as soon as I got home. I found my excitement quickly turning to dismay, and then anger as I read. So many political hot button issues within so few pages. After a while I honestly wasn't sure what I was feeling anymore.
I probably read the first quarter of it within a few hours, but while I was interested in the story, I found that it was getting a little slow. Slow enough that I found myself putting it down more and more, and each break became longer and longer. Eventually, I did not pick it up again. Next thing you know, the next club meeting was around the corner. I forced myself to pick it up again, and was ready to use the "how to get through a difficult read formula" to get it finished in time for the discussion. I gamely plugged on for another chapter or two, and like someone cast a spell, I was suddenly hooked again. The plot and pace of the book picked up, and began speeding towards it unpredictable ending.
At times I found myself just kind of stunned by a certain turn in the story, and I was saddened when I reached the last page. Like many stories, I truly want to know what comes next. I would have given the book a good rating if no other reason than my reaction to it. I have to admire anything that causes the gamut of emotions that this book did within me. Based on this alone, I would be predisposed to reading another title from Hillary Jordan. In fact I find myself eager to do so.
I find myself eager for the upcoming discussion about this book. I'm also looking forward to whatever our book club chooses for its next selection. If it's even half as good as this was I'll be satisfied.
I reread this for book club, and three years later, I've given it a higher rating. I guess I can't help comparing it to Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, which for me was brilliant, as is everything she writes, But rereading this story, I appreciated the how well the storyline held together, and how believable was the notion of using skin color to brand "criminals" to avoid the expense of incarceration. I think our heroine, Hannah Payne, is a surprisingly strong person, given who she was at the beginning of the story, a gently educated, very sheltered seamstress from an evangelical religious background. The first surprising thing is how such a meek woman can have the strength to keep the name of her famous lover a secret, even though it makes her a pariah. After she is Chromed bright red, she slowly finds strength, first by escaping a sadistic "half-way" home for wayward women who've had abortions, then by joining with freedom-fighters and escaping her situation to find freedom elsewhere. It's a solid story, not quite "un-put-downable" for me, but very good.
These early scenes, in which Hannah wakes up in the Chrome ward where she's been sentenced to remain for 30 days, are promisingly inventive. ... Lacking the satiric sting of "1984″ and "A Clockwork Orange," the pathos of "Super Sad True Love Story" and "The Book of Dave," or the kind of newfangled vocabulary each of these works used to describe their worlds, Jordan's dystopia turns out to depict a much smaller future than its bold opening chapters, with their clever homage to Hawthorne, had so valiantly attempted to guarantee.

In the future, abortion has become a crime as a series of events threatens the existence of the United States. One woman wakes up to discover that her skin color has been changed to red as punishment for having the procedure done. Now she must embark on a dangerous journey in order to find refuge from a hostile and threatening society.… (more)

The objectives of this research were first to isolate plastid gene sequences from cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata L.), and to establish the chloroplast transformation technology of Brassica. A universal transformation vector (pASCC201) for Brassica chloroplast was constructed with trnV–rrn16S (left) and trnI–trnA–rrn23S (right) of the IRA region as a recombination site for the transformed gene. In transforming plasmid pASCC201, a chimeric aadA gene was cloned between the rrn16S and rrn23S plastid gene borders. Expression of aadA confers resistance to spectinomycin and streptomycin antibiotics. The uidA gene was also inserted into the pASCC201 and transferred into the leaf cells of cabbage via particle gun mediated transformation. Regenerated plantlets were selected by 200 mg/l spectinomycin and streptomycin. After antibiotic selection, the regeneration percentage of the two cabbage cultivars was about 2.7–3.3%. The results of PCR testing and Southern blot analysis confirmed that the uidA and aadA genes were present in the chloroplast genome via homologously recombined. Northern blot hybridizations, immunoblotting and GUS histochemical assays indicated that the uidA gene were stable integrated into the chloroplast genome. Foreign protein was accumulated at 3.2–5.2% of the total soluble protein in transgenic mature leaves. These results suggest that the expression of a variety of foreign genes in the chloroplast genome will be a powerful tool for use in future studies.

I would stop gradually, like pumping for slightly fewer minutes per session, then after a few days, drop a session, then after a few days, repeat. Also, try a tea like "No More Milk" by Earth Mama Angel Baby, it has herbs like sage in it to help dry up your milk.

EPing, ( o )( o ) GOLD!!!!!
Sounds like your done, but jus in case your not, try breast shields...they have a hole in them that allow your nipple and areola to enter it, but allow air to pass around it to heal quicker. that and lots of lansinol nipple cream. you can even try putting neosporin on them, but youd have to wash them thouroughly, which would defeat the purpose. I was kind of in your situation. Ready to give up at that point. my baby came out and had thrush immediatly because of the antibiotics they didnt need to give me (passed to baby in utero), which screwed up her natural flora in her mouth. we passed thrush back and for the for 2 months. My nipple were cracked and bleeding and itching, burning, It just generally sucked. Then i got these shields from medela...
i found bed bath and beyond carries them too. Once i told both my gyno and the pediatrician i am done dealing with this, give me something that works, we both had it gone by 2 weeks. but before that i was in agony. It sucks, but what you develope with your little one is nothing you could ever recreate.
The leaking will slow to nothing! I promise! Mine didnt stop till...oh id say the middle to end of the second month. Even though the breast pads that have a plastic lining are nice cause they dont allow liquid to pass, it breeds infection, and in your case i wouldnt recommend that. If you dont already have them, johnson&johnson has a breast pad that is nothing but cotton. they do have the same gel type stuff that period pads have to soak up more liquid.
The other product i would recommend is Lily Padz. Some say if your well endowed that they dont work...i was a DDD while BFing and they worked fine. I just couldnt wear them to bed or let my boobs press on anything...otherwise id leak. If you need support or just to rant or whatever, feel free to send me a note. ill try to help you as much as possible!
And with the weaning, Do it gradually. your probably still at your engorged phase and that will just make it worse. I would recommend anything with sensitive in the name of formula. Similac has a great sensitive line that worked well with my LO's transition. Their tummies are used to easy-digestable stuff...they might have a tough time with the formula. good luck!!

I was not disappointed!
This carboy is big, built solid, Cheap, and shipped for FREE. Also, the super saver shipping was insane on this order. Was on my door step <72 hours later. Amazing.
8/2011 Update - Just ordered another one. Since I have been brewing so much wine, I needed another 6 gallon carboy. I started to panic since this deal wasn't available from Amazon for a couple of months. It went to an Amazon seller plus tax that equalled about $60 with shipping. Amazon finally restocked it at $30 + an additional discount with the subscription service. I jumped on it and bought another. It's not quite the quality of the last, but it is Italian and way cheaper than anywhere else. It was a miracle, however, the way it was packed that it arrived unbroken. Best deal out there for the amature.
The only negative input I have is on quality control with the products themselves. One of the two carboys I received has a "stone" in the glass -- it appears to be a clump of raw material that didn't melt completely like the rest of the bottle. It's located on the outside vertical wall toward the bottom. I did some testing to see if it went all the way through pouring in a quantity of black coffee and seeing if it dyed the stone. It appears to be smooth on the inside, but it will cause me some anxiety. The other had a small bubble in the glass and I'm not sure if this is normal or if these are the "second quality" carboys. Perhaps that's why these are cheaper...
Overall I'm happy with them and looking forward to the larger batches that they enable. I've got 5.5 gallons of Amber Wheat fermenting in one right now and the krausen reached the blowoff tube, I wouldn't go for more liquid than than in these carboys.
About the packaging: First of all, the carboy was wrapped in one sheet of the smallest and thinnest bubble wrap produced. It was placed inside a very flimsy cardboard box, which was placed inside a much larger flimsy cardboard box. There was literally one piece of packing paper between the two boxes in some sort of attempt to cushion the smaller box. The word "Fragile" was not written anywhere on the outer box. This has to be hands down the most poorly packaged item I have ever ordered from Amazon. Also, after looking at the cross-section of the broken carboy, I feel confident that the $30 deals are from Paklab's "B" stock. while the mouth of the carboy looks very thick and heavy, it is misleading of the thickness for the rest of the carboy. Where it was broken in the center, the wall thickness was no more than 1/16".
I contacted Amazon immediately when my order displayed that it was not refundable (no refund in this case would be truly unacceptable, and would have cost Amazon my business), and Amazon was actually very helpful. They notified me that Paklab listed this item as out of stock, so they refunded my order immediately and told me to order again when it was available and they would provide free one day shipping.Read more ›

Krystyna Skarbek was said to be "Winston Churchill's favorite spy;" she led an extraordinary life that peaked with clandestine acts of heroism during World War II—and ended tragically just a few years later. Six decades after her death, a biopic is said to be in the works. It's about time.
The chocolate bomb intended to kill Winston Churchill became the stuff of wartime legend. But depictions of the device and other cleverly concealed explosives were only recently rediscovered.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the first time in history that one nation tried to defeat another using airstrikes. Here's how the Nazis thought they could do it—and how agonizingly close they actually came to achieving victory.
Late last month, news emerged that two European men had discovered a Nazi ghost train in Poland. Now, a pair of ground-penetrating radar images have apparently leaked, purportedly showing the train buried underground—including what appears to be a row of tanks.
From 1932 to 1943, the Soviet ambassador to London kept a personal diary, the details of which were only recently revealed. It tells the exceptional story of a diplomat who tried to harmonize Soviet and British interests, while also demonstrating how events could have unfolded very differently.
Just over a week ago, the story of a long-lost Nazi train started making the rounds. We're unconvinced, but according to the BBC, ground penetrating radar seems to have convinced Polish Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski of the train's existence. http://io9.com/long-lost-nazi…
We'll believe it when we see it, but two men, one a Pole and one a German, say they know the location of a heavily armored Nazi train that was rumored to be hidden away in a tunnel during the dying days of the Second World War—a train that could contain upwards of 300 tons of gold.
History website Argunners has published a series of previously unseen photos recently uncovered from the archives of an American four-star general who served in Europe during the Second World War. The images show a war-torn Europe as American forces move towards Berlin.
The gutting of Germany's intellectual heritage is far from the worst crime committed by the Nazis, but it was a crime nonetheless. The irony is it was a crime that contributed to their loss of the war. But it also robbed the country of its intellectual riches decades after the war was over.
Seventy years ago, the United States dropped the first of two atomic bombs on Japan. At the time, the US was the only country with nuclear weapons.

- Mylar Batons Review by Dance teacher
As a dance teacher I like to use these batons to teach the little ones Marches.
I just wish they would come up with a way to make them so that the tinsel doesn't fall apart in time littering the dance floor or stage. The sparkly colors of the inside tinsel looks lovely but in time it slides down 1/2 way in side the baton leaving the baton less desirable for the children to use.
