He opined that EC is not concerned about IPL. "As compared to 2004, the availability is less but at the same time the deployment in the field is more as compared to 2004. After we have taken review at some places we think additional force might be required," Gopalaswami said in new Delhi.
However, confusion and chaos over IPL dates is not yet decided.
Union Home Ministry has written to the Deccan Chargers saying the Andhra Pradesh Police can provide security for IPL only from April 26, which is three days after the Lok Sabha elections in the state get over on April 23.
Even Karnataka govt has denied any security arrangements to IPL till May 4. With the Election Commissioner's statement, IPL organisers will have to come up with a new schedule.

Amazon.comHenry Miller once described Marc Chagall as a "poet with the wings of a painter." The pages of Chagall are filled with images that prove the writer's words true. Though Chagall is remembered primarily as a painter, his artistic vision expressed itself in many other forms, including sculpture, mosaics, and the stained glass windows that grace the Art Institute of Chicago as well as synagogues and churches in both Europe and the United States. The volume affords readers glimpses of his profligate work as well as the opportunity to follow Chagall as he moved from his early years in Russia to Paris, the United States, and back to France. During that time, his painting flirted with the various art movements around him--surrealism and fauvismmost notably--but his dominant themes remained constant throughout the seven decades that he made art. Chagall's mysticism, his deep religious sentiment, and his playfulness are revealed in the hundreds of full-color images lushly...

Patient Comments: Dengue Fever - Symptoms
What symptoms and signs did you experience with dengue fever?
Comment from: kanchan, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: January 28
I suffered from dengue fever in 2011. It almost killed me. It was severe; at a point I felt I was losing my vision. Within 3 to 4 days my platelet went down to 30,000 but somehow and because of doctor's care and medicine I survived. But it is really painful because I am suffering from memory problems and the most painful thing is that in 2012 I suffered from serious problem of rashes, then in 2013 from chronic nose problem, and in 2014 I suffered from food poisoning. In 2015 I suffered from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and now I am suffering from eczema. I suffered from all these just because of my low immunity and all because of dengue. I used to be good in sports and was a good prize winner athlete but now just because of dengue I am still suffering.
Comment from: Harvey, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: December 29
I have lived in Bali for 20 years and never had this experience before. I developed what I thought was a bad case of flu. Very high fever (40 plus), vomiting, shaking violently like malaria, pain in the back and limbs, and low blood pressure (120/50). After five days I was very red in the face and chest like sunburn, dizzy when turning my head, and had headache, red palms, coughing and sore throat. I was very lethargic, just wanted to sleep. I have had this dengue for 8 days now. Christmas was ruined, I just hope I can get better for New Year.
Comment from: Susan, MPH, 45-54 Female (Caregiver) Published: December 01
Picaridin is a better choice over DEET. Also lemon eucalyptus and geranium oil at higher concentrations work; all on CDC report. I would never spray anything or even place it on my skin, or apply to clothing, even these less toxic alternatives that are known to work just as well as toxic DEET. I read a study showing that taking live probiotics like Nature's Way Optima, can help decrease symptoms of dengue. Live mixture of probiotics seem to help with any microbial infection in general. I will be taking it every day when I'm in tropical areas! Also spraying for these mosquitos with ULV is found not to be effective since the pregnant females that are about to lay their eggs (they are the ones that bite, not the males) hide under leaves and do not get exposed to the ULV spraying. Remove stagnant water sources, even 1 teaspoon! Also there is a fungi that is now being utilized to kill certain insects, which is working great for termites, biological control that is very specific.
Comment from: Dwight, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 17
I fainted while riding my bicycle and fell to the ground (of course). I was diagnosed with low electrolytes (hyponatremia).
Comment from: Kmadsen, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: November 17
Despite using medications to prevent mosquito bite I was covered. Upon returning home from Guatemala, July 2013, I started to feel weak, and had lack of appetite and chills. Over the next week symptoms included itchy palms, fine itchy rash all over, head ache unrelieved by Tylenol, indescribable eyeball pain, and joint pain. My platelets and white count both dropped dramatically. I was not hospitalized but my doctor put me on house arrest. I was so immunosuppressed she worried about a secondary infection.

text: My de facto partner of 25 years really wants to keep our house (by far our biggest asset) with a very large debt. I want to downsize and pay off debt. We can't agree. If I end the relationship, can she drag out property settlement for months costing more interest from the debt, or can the house sale be forced to proceed promptly? We have no children, and we share pretty much all bills.

In China they are calling it "the most complicated holiday in history'' and that not just because an estimated 210 million people will be moving around inside the country.
This year the nation's Mid-Autumn Festival backs up almost on top of the National Day holidays, meaning the public is being offered two public holiday periods of as long as 10 days.
And this is where the confusion starts.
Mid-Autumn - traditionally a harvest celebration which centers around family gatherings and banquets - falls from September 22 to 24, while the seven-day National Day holiday starts on October 1.
If you want the whole 16 days off though, you have to negotiate with your boss, otherwise you will be facing what China's netizens have labeled the "vacation rhyme formula.''
And from September 18, for 1.3 billion workers, the formula reads: one day off, three days work, three days off, six days work, seven days off, two days work, and one day off.
Those quick enough have already booked their trips and while the China Tourism Academy has refused to estimate how many will head off overseas, it says 210 million are heading to destinations (and family) within China.
Mainland Chinese tourism operators are meanwhile saying all available trips to places such as Japan, the United States and Canada have been snapped up while tickets on internal transport systems such as trains and buses are going for way over their normal price as regional destinations try to lure China's holiday makers too.
Organizers of Shanghai's World Expo, for example, are expecting between 400,000 and 500,000 people to stream in through their gates every day during the National Day holidays as people try to see the event before it closes on October 31. So far the event has attracted 51 million visitors, they say, and 18 million tickets remain unsold for those willing to face the crowds.

The CB-30 allows the operator to quickly set and run an exact batch, which includes a preset wash amount and valve overrun compensation. A presettable batch limit prevents over batching by not allowing a batch greater than the specified value and its preprogrammed three-second pulse time fail-safe closes the valve in case of flow signal...

text: NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge put the NFL on the defensive over its four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Wednesday, demanding to know what evidence directly links Brady to deflating footballs and belittling the drama of the controversy. "What is the direct evidence that implicates Mr. Brady?" Judge Richard M. Berman repeatedly asked NFL lawyer Daniel L. Nash at the first hearing in the civil case in Manhattan federal court as Brady and Commissioner Roger Goodell looked on. Nash responded there was "considerable evidence Mr. Brady clearly knew about this," including records of text messages and phone calls between the quarterback and one of two Patriots employees implicated in the scandal known as "Deflategate." But he also said there was no "smoking gun" showing Brady had direct knowledge that the balls were underinflated for the first half of the Patriots' 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game Jan. 18. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20150812/fbn--brady_lawsuit-1419a3dbfd.html

WASHINGTON(EWTN News/CNA)—After drawing criticism for suggesting that human life begins at implantation, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich reaffirmed his commitment to protecting human life from conception.
In a statement sent by the Gingrich campaign to EWTN News, the former speaker of the House reiterated his belief that "human life begins at conception" and that "every unborn life is precious, no matter how conceived."
He vowed to support pro-life legislation aimed at the ultimate goal of legally protecting "all unborn human life."
Gingrich, a Catholic convert, sparked controversy when he said during a Dec. 2 interview with Jake Tapper of ABC News that life begins at implantation.
"I think that if you take a position when a woman has a fertilized egg, and that's been successfully implanted, that now you're dealing with life," he said. "Because otherwise you're going to open up an extraordinary range of very difficult questions."
He added that he is opposed to taking life "for the purpose of doing research" but supports stem-cell experiments "that do not involve the loss of a life."
Gingrich's comments resulted in protests from pro-life groups, which led to a Dec. 3 statement clarifying his position.
He said in the statement that life begins at conception and that he is opposed to federal funding of research that destroys human embryos "because we are also dealing here with human life."
Promising to do everything in his power "to foster reverence for life," the GOP frontrunner assured Americans that his beliefs on human life "are longstanding, deeply felt, and irrevocable matters of conscience."
He referenced his Nov. 19 remarks at the Thanksgiving Family Forum in Des Moines, Iowa, where he voiced his support for federal legislation defining "personhood" as beginning at conception.
Gingrich also repeated a previous campaign promise to sign an executive order on his first day in office to reinstate the Mexico City Policy to prohibit taxpayer money from being used to fund overseas abortions.
In addition, he said that he will work to defund Planned Parenthood and "transfer the money so it is used to promote adoption and other pro-family policies."
Throughout his 20 years in Congress, Gingrich maintained a strong pro-life voting record. He supported the Hyde Amendment and other bans on federal funding of abortion, as well as legislation prohibiting partial-birth abortion.
The National Right to Life Committee has given him a 98.6% lifetime rating for his pro-life voting record.
I'm very prolife. Newt states two different statements in short period of time and I am supposed to believe the latter of the 2? We need someone who is true to their word the first time around. I hate inconsistancy! No more word games Newt! You confuse people!
I saw a show on cable Life Before Birth. On the show it showed how semen went to the ovaries to fertilize an egg. It stated life begins at conception fertilization. Then the show show the diffent stages of pregnancy and the birth of the child. I wish everyone could have seen the show.
Well this ought to make Mark Shea's vote a little easier. All of the issues he raised in his recent diatribe are considerations subordinate to the issue of legal infanticide.
Welcome into the Church, sure. Does that mean I have to vote for him as President as well - do I "owe" him that else I have not "forgiven" him? You can forgive a robber for robbing you - does that mean you have to give him the keys to your safe when he asks? Trust is something that needs to be earned, not demanded. What ever happened to "be wise as serpents?" It seems the current thinking is that talking pro-life covers all sins.
First of all, he is without sin can cast teh first stone. Anyone? Anyone? Secondly, Newt has repeatedly said he found forgiveness within the Catholic Church. If any one who is posting is a Catholic, should they not also be forgiving him for his past sins. Or is the forgivenss only to be givine ny the priest. We are all called to welcome all into the church irregardless of what sins they have done.
Well, if he says that every life is precious, no matter how conceived, why does he still allow abortion in the case of rape/incest? Is this an inaccurate statement of his position, or does he believe some conceptions are more precious than others? Another clarification opportunity for him.
AMEN Florin, AMEN! If Gingrich gets the nod from the liberal, secular media, Obama's in for another 4 years. I certainly hope and pray that all Catholics have plenty of cash and gold on hand for the inevitable disaster that will happen. It's like being in a bad dream, only you can't wake up. I sure hope EWTN expands dramatically over the next few years. Maybe even buy up one of the majors like NBC, CBS or ABC.
Thanks be to God that you all have cleared this up for me, I really want to support him, but was uncertain about this matter. I am so glad to hear he is pro-life all the way. I work with the RCIA program at my church and I find that converts to the faith make very strong conservative Catholics!
Don't let Newt fool you. Every time he makes a declaration about what he believes or doesn't believe and get flak for it he says 'oops' and changes his position. It's a long standing attern of behavior . the man will do and say anything to get what he wants. Maybe we should believe that he is over having multiple affairs, cheating on multiple wives, changing sides politically - but the pattern of his dysfunctional behavior is just too volatile. he has stated that he is so brilliant that no one cares what he does, only what he says. If he gets the nomination, Obama will have 4 more years to destroy this economy and this country. I just don't trust him or his former mistress/current wife Callista…she was singing in the Choir of the Immaculate in Washington and claiming to be a practicing Catholic while having a six year adulterous affair with gingrich and telling her friends about it…these two should never, ever sit in the White House…character matters because without character there are no core principles…and without core principles we have people like newt in office who are eroding the core of our nation…
I resent Shea and other for treating Newt's remarks as a "gotcha" statement. He did not "explicitly" say what the headlines read. And he was never directly asked "When does life begin?"...something he has already said repeatedly in the past begins at conception. He was asked a hypothetical question about already conceived eggs. I might have made the same minor poor choice of words. Quit LOOKING for a reason to hate the guy. Gee whiz.
too much baggage for him to be a real candidate. 3rd wedding. Adultery while married. Vindictive and petty. Obama has 4 more if he wins the nomination. Plus, a college professor! "intellectual elite"!
funny story. Both parties used the same bumper sticker in NY. "Run Hillary Run". The repubs put it on the front bumpers, the dems put it on the back.
Good for Newt. I'm glad to see he's staying faithful to the Magisterium. Otherwise, he would not have the honor of calling himself Catholic.
"Honest, Mommy, I didn't mean it." Go to your room, Newt.

The biggest wrestling event of the year is set for Sunday April 6. Wrestlemania 30 has the chance to be a big one, pending the creative team pushing the right wrestlers. Here's a look at my predictions for the scheduled main event matches.
Big Show Wins the Andre the Giant Battle Royale
As disappointing as it will be to see the predictable winner of this match to be The Big Show, he deserves it. Big Show has had few positive moments at Wrestlemania and winning this match could give him one last triumph. A man who came into the wrestling spotlight credited as the son of Andre the Giant, he is the perfect man to win the Battle Royale from that alone. However, as a match with little reward in winning just about anyone can be victorious. The only guarantee is that Big Show will be involved heavily and one of the last men standing.
Bray Wyatt defeats John Cena
Thanks to interference or blatantly cheating, Bray Wyatt will defeat John Cena at Wrestlemania. This is what needs to happen as a changing of the guard. Cena beating Wyatt stops his momentum completely. Wyatt beating Cena can either continue the feud with Cena eventually coming out on top, something I have no problem with, or elevate Wyatt to main event status. Either way, I see Wyatt coming out on top.
The Undertaker defeats Brock Lesnar
Picking this match is like shooting a blind goldfish in a small cup of water. There is absolutely no reason to believe Brock Lesnar has a shot at defeating The Undertaker. The streak on the line against a part-time wrestler, the only question in this match is whether or not Lesnar can redeem himself from his poor match against Triple H at Wrestlemania 29. As for The Undertaker, I have no doubts he will be at his best.
Daniel Bryan defeats Triple H
Another predictable match, Daniel Bryan will beat Triple H. The entire show would come to a halt if Triple H was to win and Bryan is buried midway through the event. The only other possible outcome would be a draw where both are then placed into the main event, which is almost just as likely and could be more exciting.
Daniel Bryan wins the WWE Title
The guaranteed opponents in the match will be Batista and Randy Orton, as well as the possibility of Triple H. Whoever he's facing, Daniel Bryan will walk out of Wrestlemania with the WWE Title. Chants of "Yes! Yes! Yes!" are the perfect way to end the show. The story writes itself. Anything short of that or John Cena running out and turning heel (not a very good idea in this moment) Wrestlemania needs to end with the hottest wrestler in a long time as the new face of the company.

Skip to comments.Earthquake Vancouver Island Port Hardy 6.7
Posted on 09/09/2011 12:56:20 PM PDT by dragnet2
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Longshoremen again?............
Wow! Big'un.
I guess they had to physically remove those reporters from the parking lot.
Just reported a few minutes ago...
This is just north of Seattle.
Map Centered at 47°N, 125°W
In before the Michele's Big Butt comments.
USGS Details page
Michael Moore jogging?
What's next, St. Helens redux?
Cascade gettin' loosened up?
Nah, that would cause a Michigan Earthquake and potential tsunami on Lake Michigan.
Not like ten miles north.. I figure it is about 200 air miles from me, and I'm about 32 miles SE of Seattle...
Didn't feel it, but TV news is reporting that some people in the area did.
Let's hope this ain't part of the big kahuna... looks like this was the main Cascadia fault that we luv so much...
I am on coastal WA....literally 4 miles from the beach. Felt nothing.
40+ people died, mostly from heart attacks.
A 6.7 - not trifle.
Indeed.....I used to live in the NW, around Portland. The thought of a Cascadia megathrust earthquake is not a pleasant one.
Please refer to the pic I posted upthread.
hmm,didn't feel a thing in Yakima.
Right. Try about a third of the way to Alaska. Almost unpopulated at northern tip of Vancouver Island.
I'm 30 mi. south of Seattle. Felt nothing.
That sucker was close to the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Too close. I hope to God this wasn't a foreshock. That sucker lets go, and you can count on massive damage throughout Western Washington.
(Those longshoremen in Longview would have to worry about their contracts if a tsunami washes their thug butts out to sea.)
Family in Everett, WA felt nothing. I'm just north of Mt. Rainier - nothing here either of course.
Wifey and niece were there in Victoria just a few days ago on a cruise,, visiting butterflies and the flowers, beautiful place, vancouver island is hugh.. I like the area , maybe not the healthcare but. ;-)
Anyone know what percentage of the time quakes like this are foreshocks.
They were just talking about that.
Actually, it kinda depends.
At the places that the fault run N/S off the coast of Washington state, it's about 50 miles out from the coast.
And most people who live in Western Washington live on the east side of Puget sound, the Olympic peninsula adds another 60 miles or so distance to the main fault.
So being 100 miles away from the fault is probably a good thing. Whether there was huge damage here would probably depend on how big the quake was, how much linear length of the fault ruptured, and what was the specific ground motions involved.
I went to grad school three years in Victoria then transferred. Is a very pleasant place and winter fairly mild. However, I don't want to live anyplace now where homo marriage is legal and Christians are persecuted for their beliefs.
Here in Bellevue noone felt anything.
My wife was raised in Everett. We like to get up there when we can. She still has family there but mostly spread out from Arlington to Auburn. We live in Grays Harbor now.
We of course didn't feel anything either to the east of you but the 2001 Nisqually earthquake was a different matter! Even cracked my driveway way over here.
I thought I felt something here in Renton (just SE of Seattle).
Oh no. That's one of my favorite vacation spots. I hope The Fairmont and Buchart are okay.
winoneforthegipper I suspect you might already know about it
Ugh. I've lived in California all of a month. Now I read this: Studies of past earthquake traces on both the northern San Andreas Fault and the southern Cascadia subduction zone indicate a correlation in time which may be evidence that quakes on the Cascadia subduction zone may have triggered most of the major quakes on the northern San Andreas during at least the past 3,000 years or so.
In Bellingham and didn't feel anything.
Looks like they are saying it is a 6.4 now.
We did a Seattle/Vancouver/Victoria vacation about 10 years ago....we also went into some islands in that area...forget the name now...beautiful place.
Let's hope this isn't a prelude to something bigger, not that a 6.7 isn't big...it is. Hopefully no tsunamis are generated.
Vancouver Sun's website says no reports of any damage. Same for Victoria.
You said it. I ventured out there to see the Pacific Rim park one time thinking it was just a quick drive from Victoria. Like idiot tourists, we headed out with 2 small children and no provisions thinking we'd stop at restaurants there and back. Ha! When we finally got there after traveling logging roads for a long time, we found a small town - more like a village - and only one sort-of restaurant, which was closed. We asked a local resident if we could buy some bread, lunchmeat and water. They sent us to an out-of-season hunting lodge to track down a woman who made breakfast and dinner for the hunters in-season. We had potato soup and ham sandwiches while sitting on her couch. We almost had to spend the night with her because it was going to be dark soon and she was afraid we'd get lost on the logging roads. It was a trip to remember.
Yeah monitoring....lol
Lived in Modesto,CA in 1989 when the World Series earthquake hit,shook every rollup door in the warehouse,thought a truckdriver had run his 18 wheeler into the building,scared the heck out of me.
Looking at returns on webicorders in the area....I would think odds are high this is a prelude....!
Looks like the clockwise movement around the Ring of Fire will be complete soon, Chile, New Zealand, Japan, Vancouver....San Francisco/Los Angeles you're next.
I'm off to Wal-Mart to get 100 cans of Vienna sausages, candles and 24 cases of Fiji water.
I'll see if they carry Honda generators.
Oh, I do believe this was talked about as the plate that could be the next big one after the Japan-Pacific quake last March 11.
I recall the same thing.

Preeclampsia is a medical condition characterised by excess of protein in a pregnant woman's urine accompanied with high blood pressure.
It occurs after 20 months of pregnancy in women who had normal blood pressure previously. The slightest of increase in blood pressure can be a symptom of preeclampsia which can lead to serious complications for you and your baby.
Since the only cure of preeclampsia is delivering the baby, recognising its symptoms is important. But it can be diagnosed as early as the 20th month of pregnancy, too early for delivery. You will then need to be watchful of avoiding the serious complications that are possible.
Preeclampsia develops gradually but can show up abruptly after twenty weeks of pregnancy. It is not serious all the time but there is always a possibility of aggravation of the condition. Women with normal blood pressure, if afflicted can have the following symptoms of preeclampsia:
Swelling is also a common complaint of preeclampsia patients but it is possible in normal pregnancies as well. It often accompanies preeclampsia.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is advisable to visit a doctor immediately and go into an emergency room as soon as possible. Severe pain, blurred vision and abdominal pain, if occurring at once should alarm you about the urgency of the situation. Some of the preeclampsia symptoms mentioned above can be confused as being normal pregnancy symptoms. This is particularly the case when it is your first pregnancy.
As for any other complication, if any of the symptoms mentioned above seem too severe, contact your healthcare provider immediately. They can make sure whether it is a preeclampsia symptom or the common problems after getting pregnant.

2012 passat wont switch off. I changed a fuse yesterday, now I can turn my car to the off position, take my key out , and it still running. Is there any one out here who can help me out.
4 Answers
which fuse did you change? my advice to you is to take your automobile to your local shop and a qualified technician should be able to diagnose the malfunctioning automobile
Does the engine "run on" after key off . This could possibly be due to fuel quality/detonation . This is either a fuel issue of Engine Control Module dysfunction . Try a tankful of QUALITY , premium grade fuel before you panic out . If you have not received a check engine light it is most probably due to low quality low octane fuel . If the engine runs normally with the key out , you possibly have a failed ignition switch . Check for recalls or dealer service bulletins before you spend a lot of money on this . VW is notorious for not advising customers of ( secret recalls) or dealer service advisories . I say this after owning three ( never again ! )
OK thanks you for your solutions. I think I have the problem under hand. I change what I belive was the dashboard/ or fuel filter fuse, my brother-in-law put a 15 fuse in a 10 fuse slot. I believe he shot the fuse slot. I change another fuse that was blown, and now everything is back to normal. The only thing different is the first fuse we change is no longer needed. I don't even have it in and everything is running fine. I still plan to take it to the dealership either way.
word to the wise amigo . Until you resolve the original issue . Considering your have replaced a smaller capacity fuse with a larger one ........... keep a fire extinguisher HANDY in your vehicle .

A notebook, also known as laptop, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right notebook, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving \'mobile\' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you notebook mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You\'ll work faster because you can view more information at once and it\'s great for multimedia!notebooks

It's that time of year again where everyone gives thanks. In actuality, our hope would be that people are thankful all year 'round but it seems proper form to give thanks publicly at this time of year.
We here at TKG are no different.. We're giving thanks throughout the year. At any given time in the year you can hear people at TKG declare thanks on such things as:
Thank goodness…
"for Johnny Manziel" – ok, kidding here.
"Rices Nursery came and made our main entrance look awesome"
"Shearer's sent more chips over to "sample""
"our new shipment of Spangler candy Dum Dums has arrived!"
"Bonita is awesome and takes care of all of us around here"
"we have Military protection on staff"
"we created another month of great results for our clients"
You get the idea…
However, we also want to take this opportunity to convey some things at this time of the year we, as a group, are thankful for. The mistake the team made is that they appointed me as the speaker of the masses on this topic. So this did not go out for a vote or feedback. The team here just has confidence that I won't let them down on this top 10 things TKG is thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Here goes (in no particular order):
- Our clients & their confidence
- The Interwebs
- Our team & their skills
- Search Engines
- Content
- Friends and Family (wait, that's two!)
- Brains (ours individually and the pink squishy kind)
- Coffee (we go through a lot of it!)
- Good health
- A bright future & continued success
There you have it.. Certainly not everything we are thankful for. Possibly not even all the most important things we individually are thankful for. But things to be thankful for none the less.
From our entire team here at TKG to all who may read this:
Have a very Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!

- More Bite-Size Joe-Pourri Morsels
You're traveling through a wondrous dimension of humor and shadow, of imagination and mist. Welcome to my website! Wander around a bit and see what's up. If the mists get too thick, well, some things look better in the fog anyway. So come back often to The Joe Zone – and bring your friends. That way, if you get lost, or marooned here, at least you're together. Not that people get marooned here. Very often. For very long. Signpost up ahead, your next stop – The Joe Zone!
As regular Zoners know, we often toast and roast the arrival of a new season. So once again we fire up the Joe Zone nuclear-powered microscope, and objectively examine the hated season of winter, that abysmal time of year when death would be welcome relief. I can feel myself curling up like one of the dry, lifeless leaves shriveling and shivering on my lawn, under six inches of ice.
Of course, winter isn't all bad. Some people actually like winter, and in fact look forward to it. They enjoy the cold, the snow, the lack of light, the misery, the depression, the soul-sucking numbness that winter brings. Scientific study has shown that many of these people have actually had their brains freeze into a solid block of ice. Either that, or they live in Hawaii, and just enjoy saying that they like winter.
Welcome or not, the winter solstice occurred Wednesday, December 21 at 5:44 AM Eastern Standard Time, marking the start of winter. Sol, of course, is what we call the sun (at least, those of us on a first-name basis with it), so it's easy to figure out that the word "solstice" comes from shortening "Sol stuck in ice." Similarly, "December" refers to the "declining ember" of the sun in the winter sky. English is actually a very easy and obvious language, if we just pay attention.
Writers through the years have, for reasons both innocent and ignoble, employed pen names. Yes, the old nom de plume, a pseudonym, an alias. I hear it beckoning to me. Or do I see it calling me? Either way, I like the idea.
At a writers' seminar I attended, a well-published author said that it can be wise to take a new name if you have experienced significant failure under your current name. Being well-versed in significant failure, my ears shot up immediately. She warned us to avoid the curse of "stank name," though she phrased it more gently. Getting published is hard enough without having a name associated with high levels of toxicity. Some authors go so far as to enter the Writer Protection Program, taking a complete new identity, and moving to a new town or planet.
I thought what she said made excellent sense. It's great advice for both writers and fugitives from justice, who, after all, have much in common. Both are known to skulk about with a furtive countenance, fretfully peering back over their shoulder. Both carry their hunted and haunted look with them like a sack of rubbish they can't bring themselves to lay down.
So I've invested a large amount of time (at least 15 minutes) in search of the perfect writer's name. The name that guarantees success. The Name Utterly Transforming – which through a fluke of acronym-ism, we seem to be forced into calling the NUT name.
As any Facebook user knows, FB uses unfathomable logic to determine the posts you see on your newsfeed. I suspect that the methodology was developed in conjunction with the CIA, the Pentagon, and a wandering mob of preteens who have had no actual contact with real people.
The first thing I notice about my feed is that it's obvious that Facebook knows which of my Facebook friends (hereafter referred to as Ffriends) I like the most, and which I deeply regret ever having encountered and hope they can't track me down at my residence (hereafter referred to as Ffiends). My newsfeed is bulging with maniacal posts from Ffiends, and almost devoid of posts from Ffriends. There are also numerous ads ("suggested posts" – hahahahaha!) for bizarre products and services that mankind has spent most of its million-year-plus existence without. I think I can last a few more years deprived of them.
I am Joe's socks, and I will be the guest blogger in the Joe Zone today. This will give Joe a bit of a breather. You didn't realize socks did social media? You didn't know we were that sociable, you say? It's all relative. Compared to Joe, his socks are raging extroverts. And if Joe behaves, I'll let him guest-blog on my site, which is much more popular than his.
I spend most of my time in Joe's sock drawers. Once the number of socks in a drawer reaches critical mass, a sustaining chain reaction takes place, and consciousness emerges, and it doesn't matter where we are, except for when we're on Joe's feet.
You might think being socks is tedious, but you're wrong. We live as a collective entity, thinking glorious sock thoughts. But did you know that an individual sock has no consciousness? So when one of us slips through the Portal of Oblivion in the clothes dryer, there is no pain or emotional trauma involved. But a large enough group of socks in your drawer essentially becomes a functioning brain, with each sock being a brain cell.
The Games of the XXV Vacation Olympiad began with the carrying of the mythical Vacation Torch up Interstate 79 in the Joe Zone officially licensed SUV. My wife and I, along with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren, were elated to finally be beach-bound. As we approached Erie, we saw ominous storm clouds brewing. Upon arrival at Presque Isle, we used the Torch, with an appropriate dose of pomp and dignity (but mostly pomp – can't get enough of that pomp), to light the Vacation Flame on Beach 7. A downpour from a mean-spirited thunderstorm immediately extinguished the Flame, but not our spirits. Though I must confess it made them a bit soggy.
Upon relighting the Flame, we launched the first Vacation Olympics event. The entire family sprinted the 100 meter dash across the beach to the safety of a changing station, as a second, even more mean-spirited storm hurled lightning bolts from the sky, and drenched us with apocalyptic amounts of rain. Our fleet and resourceful daughter won the gold medal, for carrying her infant in a protective crouch, while crossing the tape in record time. My wife was unfortunately disqualified, for stubbing her toe on driftwood buried in the sand, and hopping the final 25 meters. Although sand-hopping is a difficult maneuver, it is, unfortunately, not a sanctioned event.
Joe-Pourri is back with the latest news that we see fit, so pull up a digital chair. Whenever news breaks, or at least bends, Joe-Pourri will boogie down the internet runway, to take off and bring you the latest sizzle on events that may or may not actually be happening – just like the major news sources.
In our latest edition of Startling Science News, the Joe Zone Bureau of Science (JZ – BS) has exclusively learned that Dairy Queen is close to unleashing a major advancement in frozen treat technology: they will be able to beam ice cream cakes directly into customers' freezers. Joe Zone reporters have been working tirelessly (well, maybe they get a little tired when they miss their naps) to out-flank SEE-NN, Fawkes News, and The Bunion, and bring you the straight scoop on this ice cream breaking news. I mean BREAKING NEWS!
The leader in subzero snacks has been working closely with NASA and Disney Studios to perfect teleportation technology, for the benefit of soft serve aficionados. Dairy Queen is conducting a major test program, which has had its misadventures.
Early in the test phase, DQ experienced a recurring problem of missing the freezer, with the cake materializing in the oven. In one instance, the ice cream cake landed in the breadbox, ruining a loaf of rye bread and six hot dog buns. Fortunately, no doughnuts were harmed.
The Millennial Generation has finally overtaken the Baby Boomers as the largest segment of the population. Various press sources reported this, including SEE-NN and The Bunion (including its Midwest affiliate The Bunyan). They seemed barely able to contain their glee. I think they were casting lots to throw the first shovelful of dirt on Boomer caskets.
As a Baby Boomer, though, I'm ecstatic over this development. I'm tired of the BB generation being blamed for humanity's ills, just because it's an incredibly bloated, self-centered segment of society that dominated for half a century. Millennials have shown themselves to be worthy heirs to that crown, and I, for one, can't give it to them fast enough.
As many Baby Boomers discovered, the easy part of life is whining about being mistreated and misunderstood, and proclaiming, "when our generation takes over, look out." Yes, that previous generation was a bunch of screw-ups who demolished the planet and our country and anything else they could get their avaricious mitts on.
Hard as it is to believe, the Joe-Pourri news feature of the Joe Zone is now one year old. Like most one-year-olds, it can't speak coherently, but that doesn't stop it. So here's your news told straight and true, like no other source will do:
Luckily, that's all we have time for, as Joe is obviously overdue for a nap. Join us the next time the hands on the Joe Zone digital clock are pointing straight up, for our straight-up news. And remember the Joe-Pourri motto: A half-truth is twice as good as a quarter-truth.
I stumbled onto the curious world of "super grain" snack bars the other day (I often do things like that). I've been eating various grains, as we all have, for most of my life. I must admit, however, that I had no idea which grains, if any, qualified as super grains. I'm also not sure what a grain has to do to meet the requirements. Are we talking saving Metropolis, or will getting a kitten down from a tree suffice?
The wrapper claimed the bar had lots of protein and fiber, and no bad stuff like trans-fats, GMO's, or lead, and only government-approved levels of arsenic. What the heck, I thought, let's go healthy. Once I ate the snack bar, I was guessing "super grain" had more to do with the amount of damage it did to your teeth. I mean, this thing had some serious CRUNCH to it. It wasn't the bar, but rather my teeth, that were going snap, crackle, pop.
After reading the ingredients, and scheduling a dental appointment, I came to the conclusion that the main super grains are oats, millet, quinoa, and gravel. I mean, this alleged treat technically isn't a snack bar – it's more like a snack brick.
I recall that some reptiles and birds eat rocks to aid digestion. My personal experience is that gravel does NOT aid human digestion. I suppose it might help clear out some things – if you're worried about that small Lego piece you accidentally ingested some years ago, for example. But I don't believe gravel aids anything except making a proper mixture for concrete. In a pinch, you could make a pretty fair house foundation with these super grain bars.
For those who haven't tried a super grain bar, I believe you could approximate the experience with a 50/50 mixture of unshelled pistachios and buckshot.
Bon appetit!

Though David Bowie never officially revealed that he had cancer, he certainly provided enough clues. Blackstar, the title of his new album, is a medical term for a type of cancer lesion.
In his new song "Lazarus," he sings: "Look up here, I'm in heaven/ I've got scars that can't be seen... Look up here, man, I'm in danger/ I've got nothing left to lose."
And in the video for the song, a frail Bowie is in a hospital bed with an ace bandage around his head and buttons for eyes. Bowie died of liver cancer on Sunday, two days after his 69th birthday.
