GSA Provides 24/7 Hurricane Katrina Relief Information to Citizens via USA Services
September 7, 2005
Contact: Eleni Martin(202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) USA Services program has responded to approximately 25,000 calls and e-mails from Americans seeking information about Hurricane Katrina and relief efforts related to this devastating storm. Managed by GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Communications (OCSC), USA Services provides citizens with access to accurate, timely and consistent answers and information via phone, the internet and publications.
"Information is critical to citizens impacted by Hurricane Katrina," said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry, "and outlets such as USA Service's National Contact Center at 1(800) FED INFO -- operating 24 hours day, 7 days a week – www.FirstGov.gov and www.FirstGov.gov en Espanol provide information about available resources."
The USA Service's National Contact Center (NCC) has received many compelling calls from citizens. In one case, a frantic grandmother in California called the NCC because her granddaughter and her three grandchildren were stranded in the attic of their home in a New Orleans suburb with water continuing to rise. After unsuccessfully trying to reach local emergency numbers, the grandmother called the NCC. A NCC supervisor reported the situation and the address of the trapped people to the State Police who, later that night, were able to confirm that the family had indeed been rescued.
FirstGov.gov has created a menu of information specific to Hurricane Katrina – including links that enable victims of the storm to seek information about lost loved ones; links to the agencies responsible for victim assistance; a "How to Help" section (donate and volunteer); up to date information on the progress of relief efforts; and information on:
- Replacing Vital Records
- Accessing Katrina-Related Hotlines
- Katrina FAQs—Updated Daily
- Missing Persons—Lists and Search
FirstGov is also serving as the government portal for hurricane-related information in Spanish at http://www.firstgov.gov/Espanol/Topics/Desastres/Huracan_Katrina.shtml.
GSA has also been providing supplies and services to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the interagency community in support of the relief effort for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Per the National Response Plan (NRP), GSA provides resources to federal customer agencies such as contracting services, building and space, supplies and tools, information technology, telecommunications, transportation, and other services.

text: I'm not sure how a woman who has been charged with 106 counts of prostitution manages to keep custody of her son, but the father of the 7 year old has alleged in court papers that Alexis Wright, the Zumba hooker from Maine posed naked with their child and is seeking custody of the boy. Wright is currently free on bail and the police found the photo on the camera of Wright's partner in crime. That is crazy and sick. How come the police did not step in and do something and left it all to the father of the boy to do something? Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the photo but have not charged anyone yet.

Original Message
Here I would like to discuss something very important for those who desire to become awakened. It is a problem or a hindrance that many of us, if not most of us, will experience during our journey. Unfortunately, it is such a tricky thing that we cannot always see it as true, like a grand illusion, and thus some of us can never move beyond its grips. It is like a shadow of the mind, when we carelessly look for it, it is not there thus we cannot rid ourselves of it. It is the "enlightened ego".
There are many viable paths to take while searching for awakening, so instead of fixating on describing what is the 'best' path or method for achieving this, I have chosen to go beyond that and speak of the problems that are a commonality to all these paths. Since the "enlightened ego" is the broadest, most generalized form of description to categorize our hindrances, I have decided to start here and then follow this thread up with others that break down these problems in even further detail.
I too have suffered from this, and still do, but I have identified this problem as true and begun to watch my thoughts closely to see how and why this is happening, insofar as the consequences of its presence within me, and thus I have come to realize many things about it that I would like to share with you.
It shall be known that many of those seekers who suffer from an "enlightened ego" have already had a deep realization of some sort or at least a brief glimpse into the awakened state. That is how they have come to this problem. Whether they have concluded that things may not be what they seem as quantum scientists are finding, or that society and its worldly desires are misleading them away from their true Self as Krishnamurti and Sri Ramana Maharshi spoke of, or they had a brief glimpse into the Oneness of all things that Jesus taught, or began to see the truth behind the Buddha's teaching of Anatta (no individual self)… they have come to a 'road block', the ego, that has kept them from achieving full realization.
In fact, many of us seekers do not stop and study the egos validity when we run into this problem as maybe we should, but instead we misidentify it for something else and thus as we continue our search for awakening we are in turn only "enlightening our ego", not our Self. This is a major problem that creates even more delusion for us then we had before, for, it is nothing but another form of the "dream state".
(To be clear, when I use the word "Self" with a capitol S, I am referring to the absolute Self that pervades all of reality, the oneness that connects everything. Others may call this God, Universal Consciousness/Energy, or something else. And when I use the word "self" with a small s, I am referring to the sense of individual or independent-self, or the ego. Do not fixate on these things too deeply right now as they are merely symbols to point to a higher meaning that is difficult to explain in a short amount of words.)
One of the biggest consequences a seeker who "enlightens his/her ego" will find is that of a stronger sense of superiority. We begin to look at ourselves as already awakened or wise and thus we look at everyone else in society who does not speak of the same things as un-awakened or unwise. Our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, bosses, leaders… all of them suddenly become the 'sheep' while we remain the 'good guys', the awakened, in our mind. We see them as blind to reality and judge them accordingly for this. Thus we seek to awaken them by telling them our perspective on life, on reality, and when they reject this notion or do not understand what we are saying we become frustrated and angry. This of course only shows how un-awakened we truly are, for, a truly awakened person will not act out in frustration or anger at anyone, even those who are rejecting what we 'know' to be the truth. Christ and Buddha are perfect examples of this.
From my own experience I can relate to this manner of thinking, this sense of 'awakened superiority'. What's crazy is I have always been a rather humble and quiet person who listened more than I projected, befriending people of all social classes, races, cultures and religions. However, after I began searching for higher realizations, for awakening, I all of a sudden lost this sense of humility, of being able to listen without judging or projecting my own thoughts.
One day, about a year ago, I came to a deeper conclusion than I ever had before that the ego was not only 'bad', but it was the cause of all of our conflict and problems. At that time I was volunteering for a non-profit organization helping minorities get employment, health care and find better schooling for their children. We began to work on building our own school, one directed towards offering a better education for minorities and closing the achievement gaps between White and Black students. Many people in the community stepped up to help and the leader of this organization was/is a truly wise and compassionate man. However, I all of a sudden began to see these peoples egos more-so than I saw their selfless motivation. I would be sitting in on meetings with very important community leaders, business owners and politicians, who were speaking of very important social issues but all I could hear was nothing but their egos. Everything I heard was, "I have accomplished this and that with my life, I feel this way or that way about what you're saying, I want to see this or that happen, I want to give this person or that person an award…" By the end of these meetings I would literally have no clue what was going on, all I knew was I didn't like these people. All I knew was that they were egotistical 'sheep' who couldn't think outside of the box, who couldn't do anything without patting themselves on their backs or without claiming a position of authority in which they could hand out awards or compliments to others who agreed with them. It literally drove me crazy to the point I had to remove myself from that position.
Later on looking back on this situation I have realized something truly shocking, that it wasn't their egos creating this problem for me but it was my own ego that was creating this problem. I surely thought my sense of Self had moved beyond the ego, for, I had come to the realization that the ego was messing everything up. But to the contrary, it was my ego that had this realization, not my Self. So in the end my ego was blinding my sense of Self, and it was hiding from my sense of Self by focusing in on everyone else's egos as the problem. It wasn't until I spent a good amount of time reflecting on why no one understood me, or felt the same way as I did, that I came to the realization that I had "enlightened my ego" and not my sense of Self. It wasn't until I had this realization that I found out that my dislike for 'their' egoic projection of superiority over others arose from my own egoic sense of superiority over them. Sure, they may have had this problem too, but that was not something productive for me to focus on. It only hindered my ability to listen to them, insofar as hindered my ability to progress further in my spiritual awakening.
In other words, if you find yourself feeling superior over others because you have had some sort of a realization or glimpse at awakening, you have done nothing but "enlightened your ego", not your sense of Self. And that is just another form of the "dream state", so in fact, you are no more wise or awakened than them.
Another consequence of "enlightening the ego" is depression. Some of the things we come to realize begin to truly disturb us as we think about their validity. Of course this is only because we are contemplating these things through the ego and the ego does not like these realizations so it paints them as threatening or Self-defeating, when in actuality they are empowering and self/ego-defeating. It is like a corrupt or unmoral politician who gets caught up in his own feces pile and seeks to paint the accuser as the bad guy to divert attention away from his own wrong doings.
When we have a realization, such that; our perception of individual self is merely an illusion and nothing more than the construct of our ego, or that free-choice is a very limited and illusionary thing, or that physical death is truly inescapable, or that suffering pervades all of life and in every form, or any other truly ego shocking revelation, it literally can break some of us. Some people begin to look at life as having no meaning, no purpose, as being inescapable pain, and thus become severely depressed, hopeless, frustrated and angry. They may even run away from this feeling, quit their search for awakening, and retreat back into the ego for safety. This is very normal and has happened to many people including myself.
At one point I became so lost in these feelings and ideas that I seriously contemplated suicide. I began to train in sensory deprivation and deep meditation in hopes of one day being able to self-immolate myself for a worthy cause, like monks did during the Vietnam War and like that guy did recently in Egypt. The things I was contemplating on, like: "Who am I? What is reality? What is intrinsically right and wrong? How did the universe come into being? Where is this all heading?"... on and on, left me with only more and more questions until I felt completely overwhelmed. I could find no answers that satisfied my egoic mind. It was like my ego was running me in circles and saying, "It's all good, you may never find the answers to satisfy me but you must keep searching."
That is until I just let go of these questions and ideas. I realized my ego wanted to know things that only my higher sense of Self could. I realized many of these questions could not be conceptually answered in any satisfactory way for my ego and so I decided to just try and find harmony with my sense of Self, with nature as it is, and with the process of life in its totality. I realized that it was my ego who was searching for these answers, and doing so forcefully, thus I was merely "enlightening my ego" and not my sense of Self. I realized sometimes we just need to let go of what we are searching for to find out its true meaning.
That may not make sense to you right now, but if you feel depressed about the things you are contemplating on, or the things you have realized, I suggest you just let go of them and not forcefully focus on them anymore. That doesn't mean you should hide from them or create optimistic illusions for yourself to feel better temporarily, as many positive psychologists recommend, but rather just let go of the whole idea of searching for anything, be that the truth or happiness or liberation. Just become a watcher, don't judge anything or contemplate on its meaning deeply at all. Just be one with what you are experiencing and accept it as that, a simple experience.
Then when you feel better, when you are no longer so depressed, when you are no longer so attached to these concepts, ideas and realizations, you can again look at these things in a deeper more contemplative manner.
Ultimately we must remember that depression is rooted in the ego, and if we don't feed the ego, it, thus depression, will starve and disappear from our minds. I am not promoting for you to get off of any medication if you are already on it, but just know that depression can be overcome without any psychological counseling or medication. It can be overcome by overcoming the desire to feed the constant bombardment of your ego on your mind, which is struggling to postulate itself as the prominent leader of your mind. Stop feeding the ego and your depression will begin to disappear, this I can attest to as true with my own personal experience.
Next time
I will continue this series of "Solving the Problems of Awakening" next with talking about some fundamental aspects of awakening, such as; what role sincerity and honesty have in the process of awakening, insofar as I will go into further detail of why the ego is so intrinsically natural within all of us and why it is always so damaging to us, even when it doesn't seem like it is.
Hope you enjoy this as much as me!
P.S. If you have some things you'd like to add to this then please do so! I obviously, by no means, own the totality of truth.
"The real trick to life is not to be in the know, but be in the mystery."

ID theft typically occurs when a victim's social security number or other personal identifying information is stolen and used to obtain credit cards, loans or commit another form of fraud in the victim's name. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the country - and consumers must be on alert.
Take preventative measures. The most common ways identity thieves obtain other people's personal information is by stealing it either online or from people's mailboxes and trashcans. Be careful with your personal information. Reduce your chances of ID theft by:
Getting smart about internet safety and protecting sensitive information online.
Opting out of pre-screened offers for credit cards and insurance. Learn more about reducing junk mail and spam or call 1-888-5-OPTOUT to greatly reduce the amount of mail you receive.
Keeping necessary documents with sensitive information in a safe place. Never leave items like your social security card in places that are vulnerable to theft such as your wallet or car.
Shredding any documents that contain sensitive information before disposing of them.
Check your credit report. Unlike other crimes, many victims don't even know their identity has been stolen. Check your credit report every year to make sure you spot any inaccuracies. You can request your credit report for free from each of three reporting bureaus every year by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling 1-877-322-8228. Learn more about credit scores and reports.
Alert authorities. Report identity theft to local law enforcement and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – which tracks ID theft incidents in a central database to help law enforcement investigate and prosecute these crimes. You can file a complaint through the FTC's online complaint form or by calling the Identity Theft Hotline, toll-free: 1-877-ID-THEFT (438-4338). Be sure to call the Hotline to update your complaint if you have any additional information or problems.
In addition you may wish to complete an Identity Theft Affidavit - a document you may need in order to take further action to restore your credit history.
Freeze your credit. If you suspect that you are a victim you may prevent credit reporting agencies from sharing your credit history with new creditors by placing a security freeze on your credit report. A security freeze will halt any application for a new line of credit and remain in effect until you request that it be lifted.
Things to know about a security freeze:
If you are an ID theft victim, or report the theft of personal information to law enforcement, you will not be charged for a security freeze. Otherwise it may cost up to $10 to place and/or remove each freeze.
You must contact each credit reporting agency separately to place a security freeze.
The credit reporting agency has up to 5 business days to place the freeze.
You will receive written confirmation within ten business days after the freeze is in place. You will also be provided with instructions to "thaw" the freeze for a period of time or remove it all together.
It can take up to 3 business days to remove a security freeze. Remember to plan ahead if you are going to apply for new credit, such as a credit card, a car loan or a mortgage.
There are certain people who can still access your report while it is frozen, for example, your current credit card company, someone collecting a judgment against you, a government agencies, insurance companies for underwriting purposes, or a future landlord.
Place a fraud alert. A fraud alert is a statement in your credit file that notifies anyone requesting a copy of your credit report that you may be a victim of ID theft. There are three different types of fraud alerts: an initial alert, an extended alert and an active duty alert. You must provide proof of your identity to place a fraud alert.
Initial alert. If you think that you are - or about to become - a victim, contact each credit reporting agency and request an initial fraud alert. A fraud alert will be placed in your file for 90 days (or fewer if you request a shorter period of time). You are also entitled to a free copy of your file.
Extended alert. If you submit an "identity theft report" (such as an Identity Theft Affidavit) to a credit reporting agency you can get a 7-year fraud alert placed on your file. As part of the extended fraud alert, potential creditors must call you to verify that you requested an extension of credit before granting it. The credit reporting agency may not provide your name to any third parties that offer credit or insurance, unless you initiated contact with them, for 5 years after the alert was placed, and instruct the other two credit reporting agencies to also add fraud alerts to your files.
An active duty alert. If you are on active military duty (or are a reservist on active duty), you can get you may place an "active duty alert" on your credit report to help minimize the risk of ID theft while you are deployed. An active duty alert will remain in your file for up to 1 year. The credit reporting agency may not provide your name to any third parties that offer credit or insurance, unless you initiated contact with them, for 2 years, and instruct the other two credit reporting agencies to also add fraud alerts to your files.

Muslims are one another's guardians. They support and warn one another with regard to abiding by Allah's commandments and prohibitions and show each other the true path with compassions. When Muslims come together they have a positive influence on people's consciences and moral behavior and on other Muslims. In this way Muslims impact on one another, meaning they take each other's virtues as role models. Allah has revealed the form that Muslims' behavior should take in this verse:
Truly man is in loss - except for those who have faith and do right actions and urge each other to the truth and urge each other to steadfastness. (Sura al-'Asr, 2-3)
Even if believers do not speak they can act as models for one another with their behavior. Even if not expressed in words, the kind of behavior that Allah will find pleasing can be understood and spreads among Muslims by such mutual influence. Muslims benefit from the state of others' souls. The state of soul resulting from a believers' fear of Allah is increased many times over by the depth of faith of other believers. For that reason, even if a community of believers is very small, it members will be spiritually very strong. The reason for that strength is their trusting and resigned devotion to Allah and loyalty to one another for His approval.2009-01-01 04:58:54

LONG BEACH -- A 49-year-old Long Beach man arrested earlier this month for trying to board a flight at the Long Beach Airport with a gun in his bag pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge Thursday.
Darius Bossinas was arrested shortly before 7 a.m. on Jan. 5 after airport security discovered the gun in his bag. He was released from the Long Beach City Jail later that evening on $1,000 bail, according to his booking sheet.
The Long Beach resident was formally charged in the matter Wednesday and appeared for his arraignment Thursday at the Long Beach Superior Court. After entering his no contest plea, considered the same as a guilty plea in criminal court, he was sentenced to 40 hours of community service and ordered to register his firearm, said City Prosecutor Doug Haubert.
If Bossinas completes those tasks to the satisfaction of the court he can apply to have the charge dismissed from his record, the city prosecutor said.
"We all make mistakes," Haubert said of the incident. "He's going to pay the price, though it's not a very bad price."
Haubert said the fairly lenient sentence was based largely on Bossinas accepting responsibility for his crime.

Chelsea Clinton as NYC Mayor? Maybe...
(NEWSER) – Chelsea Clinton is getting some attention for comments she made to Fast Company when asked about following her parents into politics. Her answer has always been a "visceral no," says the 34-year-old resident of New York City, but that's no longer the case:
"I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives. If at some point that weren't the case, and I didn't support my mayor or my city councilwoman or my congresswoman or either of my senators—and I'm lucky to live in a state where I have lots of women representing me, you know—maybe then I'd have to ask and answer the question for myself, and come to a different answer."

Conservatives on Fox baselessly cast ethics charges against DeLay as partisan attacks by Democrats, "liberal media"
Conservative media figures on Fox News have portrayed allegations of ethical misconduct by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) as a conspiracy by the "liberal media" to aid Democrats, echoing DeLay's own efforts [1] to defend himself. The most recent revelations [2] concern trips to Moscow, London, and South Korea -- apparently funded by lobbyists attempting to influence congressional business -- in 1997, 2000, and 2001, respectively; and revelations that DeLay's political action and campaign committees have paid his wife and daughter $500,000 since 2001 [3].
Notwithstanding this effort on the part of DeLay's defenders to cast these accusations as a partisan smear campaign, conservative media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal editorial page and Fox News host Bill O'Reilly demonstrate that some conservatives agree that DeLay's alleged conduct raises serious ethical questions. Conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks has criticized DeLay staff members and the lobbyist linked to DeLay's foreign trips. A poll of GOP "insiders" also indicates that they increasingly view DeLay as a political liability. Finally, the Congressional Ethics Coalition, a group of organizations that have been highly critical of DeLay, includes [4] the conservative legal organization Judicial Watch and the Campaign Legal Center, whose president, Trevor Potter, is a Republican and served in the George H.W. Bush administration.
The Journal harshly criticized DeLay in a March 28 editorial [5] (which Media Matters for America faulted [6] for other reasons) summarizing many of the charges against him:
The Beltway wisdom is right. Mr. DeLay does have odor issues. Increasingly, he smells just like the Beltway itself. ... Mr. DeLay, who rode to power in 1994 on a wave of revulsion at the everyday ways of big government, has become the living exemplar of some of its worst habits.
Similarly, on the April 6 edition of The Radio Factor, O'Reilly accused DeLay of "exploit[ing] the system":
O'REILLY: All right, how about this Tom DeLay? Paying his wife and daughter $500,000? Wow! What a guy! Congressman from Texas. Very powerful in the House of Representatives, obviously. Got some 'splainin' to do, Tom. ... you Republicans out there, you guys gotta obey the rules. And dancing around the rules, just because you didn't break 'em -- still, a half-million dollars to your wife and daughter -- since 2001 is it? Whoa! So anyway, not a good day for Tom DeLay -- that rhymes. Now, I can't understand guys like DeLay who want to exploit the system.
In a March 22 op-ed [7] in which he condemned the "Masters of Sleaze" led by lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who took part in [2] in DeLay's Moscow and London trips, the Times' Brooks highlighted the corruption of several former members of DeLay's staff:
Ed Buckham, Tom DeLay's former chief of staff, helped run the U.S. Family Network, which supported the American family by accepting large donations and leasing skyboxes at the MCI Center, according to Roll Call. Michael Scanlon, DeLay's former spokesman, organized a think tank called the American International Center, located in a house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., which was occupied, according to Andrew Ferguson's devastating compendium [8] in The Weekly Standard, by a former "lifeguard of the year" and a former yoga instructor.
Finally, as the Los Angeles Times reported [9] on April 3, a new poll indicates that Republican "insiders" may have begun to turn on DeLay in light of the recent allegations: "A new poll by the National Journal magazine of GOP insiders -- dozens of veteran campaign strategists -- found a split opinion on whether DeLay was an asset or liability to the party. Twenty rated him either a major or minor asset, but 21 termed him either a major or minor liability."
Nonetheless, other than O'Reilly, conservatives on Fox News have portrayed the charges as partisan attacks by the liberal media:

On the April 6 edition of Special Report, host Hume teased an upcoming story on DeLay by suggesting that his troubles were an invention of "the press" but that "the facts" would lay suspicion to rest:
HUME: Next on Special Report: President Bush, joined by his two immediate predecessors, pays his personal respects to the late John Paul at the Vatican. ... Here in Washington, the press is after Tom DeLay again, but wait 'til you hear the facts.
Later in the show, Hume introduced the story itself by blaming the "mainstream media" for the renewed focus on DeLay:
HUME: And speaking of Tom DeLay, the mainstream media were out after him again today, focusing on alleged ethical lapses by the Texas Republican. They suggest -- these reports, among other allegations -- that he violated House rules in a privately financed trip to Moscow. Fox News correspondent Major Garrett examines the charges.
The Big Story with John Gibson
On the April 6 edition of Big Story with John Gibson, host John Gibson delivered a teaser similar to Hume's: "The liberal media is hammering 'The Hammer' -- Tom DeLay under a microscope and under the gun. Is this simply a media hit job?" Gibson invited conservative National Review editor Rich Lowry to discuss the new revelations (doubtless to ensure a "fair and balanced" treatment.) Gibson asked Lowry if it is "fair to say that the liberal media is out to get Tom DeLay" and the allegations against DeLay are "A vast left-wing conspiracy." Lowry asserted: "Part of it is that a lot of journalists are liberals and they don't like Tom DeLay or his politics." Even the on-screen text during the segment featured phrases such as "Is the liberal media out to get Tom DeLay?" and "Feeding frenzy?"
Hannity & Colmes
On the April 6 edition of Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity described the most recent charges against DeLay as "liberal allegations" and asked: "Is he the target of a smear campaign?" Former Rep. J.C. Watts (R-OK) also characterized the allegations against DeLay as partisan: "I think the left has a way of vigorously imposing political correctness, and they viciously punish anyone that doesn't comply. We all know that Tom DeLay is not one that -- that is going to comply." Watts later suggested that the charges against DeLay are likely "frivolous": "I think you usually find ... on the Republican and the Democratic side, at the end of the day, probably 90 percent of the ethics complaints ... are frivolous."

Wind power (against)
11/18/03 12:00AM By Sam Lloyd
| Download MP3
(Host) The debate about developing wind power continues to blow hot and heavy in Vermont. Today VPR offers two views on the subject. This morning we heard from commentator Bill McKibben, who believes that wind power is a necessary part of the remedy for global warming. Now, here is Sam Lloyd, who continues to have serious reservations about the wisdom of generating energy with wind power.
(Lloyd) As Vermont considers the pros and cons of wind generated energy, questions arise which require answers. First, would wind power produce sufficient energy to benefit Vermont ratepayers? If so, what parts of Vermont's long-standing environmental ethic would need to be sacrificed to produce this energy? And will its generation improve air quality and reduce reliance on foreign oil and fossil fuels?
The first answer begins with the fact that wind produces electricity only intermittingly and thus requires back-up power when it is not there to turn the turbines. In 2001, the eleven turbines in Searsburg produced energy only 22% of the time. At maximum efficiency, wind power produces energy only 30% of the time.
As to air quality, the biggest sources of wind-produced air pollution are the coal burning power plants in the midwest, infecting our mountains, forests and citizenry with their residue brought to us by prevailing winds. No amount of wind generation in Vermont will change what happens to power plants in Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan. Most of Vermont's energy sources are pollution-free, with none created or purchased from coal-burning sources, and less than 1% from oil. And hydro power, the cleanest energy to be found, is available in abundance in the Canadian marketplace and in our own rivers.
Heading the list of Vermont's most spectacular scenic resources are its mountain peaks and ridgelines, home and pathway for much of our wildlife. The only intrusions on these ridgelines are communication towers: unpleasant, to be sure, but as nothing compared to the proposed scores of 300 ft. plus illuminated windmills, each needing two acres of clear-cut forest, miles of substantial roadway, with obvious damage to migratory birds and other wildlife.
So, is a small amount of peak power, unavailable two thirds of the time, worth extensive damage, if not destruction, of Vermont's ridgelines, which we have committed to protect for many generations? If we can discard this committment for so small a return, will it not become all the easier, in future years, to set aside other parts of our environmental ethic, for equally questionable returns?
This is Sam Lloyd from Weston.

Fox disappears right-wing media's role in forming public's misconceptions about Obama
Research ››› ››› BROOKE OBIE
While discussing the September 6 Newsweek cover that highlights the commonly held and often contradictory misconceptions about Obama, Fox News contributors Angela McGlowan and John Fund disappeared the right-wing media's role in spreading the misinformation and instead attributed the misconceptions to Obama's own behavior. Indeed, Fox News and the right wing media have been at the forefront of advancing the very misinformation about Obama that Newsweek identified.
Newsweek cover highlights right-wing driven, often contradictory misinformation about Obama
Newsweek highlights Fox News' role in spreading contradictory misinformation about Obama. In the September 6 edition of Newsweek, the cover highlights the contradictory misinformation the right-wing media, led by Fox News, and Republicans have been spreading about Obama. The cover reads: "The Making of a Terrorist-Coddling, Warmongering, Wall Street-Loving, Socialistic, Godless, Muslim President...who isn't actually any of these things." From Newsweek:
Newsweek: "Fox often covers Obama's place of birth and religion more as matters of opinion than of fact." After reporting on a recent Newsweek poll which showed that an increasing number of people wrongly believe Obama to be Muslim and that a majority of Republicans believed Obama to be sympathetic "with the goals of fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world," Newsweek fingered Fox News as being partially to blame for people holding these inaccurate beliefs. From Newsweek:
The latest NEWSWEEK Poll tells a disturbing story. Obama's approval rating is 47 percent, slightly better than in the spring and not terrible for a president facing disturbing economic news. (Ronald Reagan touched bottom with 41 percent approval during the 1982-83 recession.) The problem is that some of the lies about Obama are gathering strength. In 2008, 13 percent of Americans were under the misimpression that he was a Muslim. Now the figure is 24 percent. One explanation may be that Obama's connection to his Chicago church was fresher in the public mind then. But the deeper problem is a growing number of people who think the president is not just disappointing or wrongheaded but dangerous. More than half of Republicans surveyed (52 percent) think it's "definitely true" or "probably true" that Obama "sympathizes with the goals of fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world." This says more about the mindset of the GOP than about Obama. It reflects not just the usual personal and partisan animus of the age (George W. Bush was subjected to exceptionally nasty attacks from the left) but a flight from facts--a startling disconnect between a quarter of the country and what some of Bush's aides once disparagingly called "the reality-based community."
The blame for this extends from Fox News and the Republican leadership, to the peculiar psychology of resentment in public opinion, to the ham-handed political response of the Obama White House. Whatever the cause, if smash-mouth tactics are validated by huge GOP gains in the midterm elections, then Big Lie politics may be with us for good.
In some ways, it has always been with us, going back to the 18th-century calumny of James Callender against John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. More recently, the Rev. Jerry Falwell sponsored a film that falsely accused President Clinton of ordering murders and dealing drugs. What's changed about politics as a contact sport is the reach of the lies. With the exception of Father Charles Coughlin, the anti-Semitic "radio priest" of the 1930s, reactionaries haven't generally had big audiences. But now the cranks who once could do little more than write ranting letters to the editor on the red ribbons of their typewriters (loaded with exclamation points and in all caps, of course) can spread their venom virally, with the help of right-wing billionaires underwriting their organizations. And while the cable network they watch, Fox News, might not actively promote the idea that the president is a foreign-born Muslim, it does little to knock it down. Fox often covers Obama's place of birth and religion more as matters of opinion than of fact.
Fox objects to Newsweek and declares Obama to blame for misconceptions about himself
McGlowan suggests Democrats are blaming Republicans for the misinformation to cover for Democratic losses in the midterm elections. On Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson said that, "if you go inside the article they blame it, the author blames it on the right wing putting these lies out there." Fox News Contributor Angela McGlowan suggested the criticism was unfounded, saying, "It is a right-wing conspiracy. When Republicans take over in November, you have to blame someone...so they're going to blame the fact that conservatives are putting these spots out there."
Fund: Obama "bears some of the responsibility for these misconceptions." On the September 3 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, the Wall Street Journal's John Fund claimed that Obama "allowed his image to slip away from him," in part, by "not going to church, for example, regularly, by not joining a church." Fund concluded: "He bears some of the responsibility for these misconceptions."
Right-wing rhetoric: Obama is a Muslim
Pew Research poll finding 1/5 Americans believe Obama is a Muslim says 60% of that number "cite the media" as how they learned Obama's religion. In a poll released on August 18, the Pew Research Center found that "nearly one-in-five Americans (18%) now say Obama is a Muslim, up from 11% in March 2009." The poll also found "When asked how they learned about Obama's religion in an open-ended question, 60% of those who say Obama is a Muslim cite the media. Among specific media sources, television (at 16%) is mentioned most frequently. About one-in-ten (11%) of those who say Obama is a Muslim say they learned of this through Obama's own words and behavior."
Right-wing media repeatedly falsely claims or suggests that Obama is a Muslim. Media Matters for America has documented numerous instances in which right-wing media figures and outlets, including Fox News, falsely assert or suggest that Obama is a Muslim. For instance:
Limbaugh: "How can America be Islamophobic? We elected Obama, didn't we?" On the August 25 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh said, "How can America be islamophobic? We elected Obama, didn't we?" On his August 19 radio show, Rush Limbaugh, who lately has taken to calling Obama "Imam Obama", said: "Has Obama ever called Muslims 'bitter clingers'? Well, he's called Christians 'bitter clingers.' He did that in San Francisco. I'm just throwing these things out here, folks, because people are questioning his Christianity. Some think he's a Muslim. I'm just saying there might be reasons why some people think this." Limbaugh also said during the same show, "If it was OK, and even laudatory, to call Bill Clinton America's first black president, why can't we call Imam Obama America's first Muslim president?"
- Wash. Times' Kuhner: Obama is a "cultural Muslim." In a July 8 Washington Times op-ed, Jeffrey Kuhner wrote that Obama is "betraying the Jews" and that he "is a cultural Muslim whose sympathies lie with the Islamic world in its life-death struggle against Israel."
- Geller: Obama's Pearl comments were "spoken like an" "antisemitic Muslim terrorist." In a May 18 post, Geller wrote of Obama's comments on the signing of the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act: "The Daniel Pearl beheading 'captured the world's imagination' -- spoken like an ..........antisemitic Muslim terrorist. Pearl was beheaded because of Islamic anti-semitism and violent jihadi doctrine. Freedom of the press had nothing to do with it. And this coming from a plant who is attempting to restrict these freedoms ..............press and speech." In fact, Obama was honoring Pearl in his comments.
- Quinn on Obama: "I think he's a Muslim." Seizing on reports that Obama had gone golfing on Christmas Day 2009, Jim Quinn said on his radio show: "I know that it's very impolitic to bring this up but I think he's a Muslim. Sorry, I do." Quinn, who has also repeatedly suggested Obama is Muslim, said of Obama on his February 26 radio show, "You've got a nexus here of angry black nationalism" and "whose entire family is Muslim."
- Geller calls Obama "the Muslim president." Geller's blog contains 267 posts tagged, "Muslim in the White House?" In a June 2, 2009, post, Geller called Obama "The Muslim president." Calling it a "critical issue," Geller wrote in January 2008 that "Obama went to a madrassa in Jakarta," that "he practiced Islam," and that "if Obama makes it to the big house, Israel is screwed. Finished." On May 30, 2009, Geller wrote that with his Cairo speech, Obama "proved everything I said to be true." In fact, CNN debunked the "madrassa" falsehood in January of 2007, and as Newsweek stated, "Barack Obama has never been Muslim and never practiced Islam."
- Fox News' Special Report asks of Obama: "Islam or Isn't He?" During a June 4, 2009, segment, Fox News' Special Report aired a quote by Obama national security official Denis McDonough, in which he talked about how Obama "experienced Islam on three continents" and grew up in Indonesia with a Muslim father, and asked: "Islam or Isn't He?"
- Savage: Obama is "an unknown stealth candidate" who "in fact, was a Muslim." Michael Savage falsely asserted that Obama was a Muslim and attended a madrassa, saying: "Look who we inherited in this country, from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Barack Hussein Obama, in one generation. A war hero to -- a war hero who commanded the Allied operations against Nazi Germany was running for the presidency then. Now we have an unknown stealth candidate who went to a madrassas in Indonesia and, in fact, was a Muslim."
- KSFO's Rodgers: Obama "admits in one of his own books" that he would "stand with the Muslims" against "the Western world." Repeating a false allegation from a chain email, Lee Rodgers falsely claimed Obama "admits in one of his own books" that "in case of a confrontation between the Western world and the Islamic world, he will stand with the Muslims." In fact, what Obama wrote in his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope, according to FactCheck.org, "is that he would stand with American immigrants from Pakistan or Arab countries should they be faced with something like the forced detention of Japanese-American families in World War II."
- Right wing run with dubious claim that Obama admitted "I am a Muslim." Conservatives pushed an unsubstantiated claim that Obama admitted to Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit that he is a Muslim, with G. Gordon Liddy stating that it comes under the heading "suspicions confirmed." Right-wing commentator Pamela Geller went even further and put the words "I am a Muslim" in quotation marks and attributed the statement to Obama in the title of a blog post hyping the rumor.
- Conservative radio hosts seize on Obama comment to revive false rumors about his faith. During the 2008 campaign, numerous conservative talk-radio hosts selectively highlighted Obama's assertion, which he immediately clarified, that "John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith" to revive rumors that he is a Muslim, not a Christian. For example, Chris Baker claimed that Obama's comment was "obviously a Freudian slip" and stated, "He confessed. It's over." Savage described Obama as a "Muslim stealth candidate" and stated: "I have nothing against moderate Muslims. ... The question is, why is he covering up his Muslim faith?"
Right-wing rhetoric: Obama is a socialist
Limbaugh: "The facts are facts. The president is a socialist." On the March 24 broadcast of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh addressed the Harris poll, which he noted was flawed, saying: "'Antichrist' and 'Muslim' -- I don't know where they're getting that, because that's not a part of the program. I haven't really made that one of our topics here. ... Now, as far as this Hitler business, one of the first things that the National Socialist Party did was try to nationalize health care." He concluded, "I mean, the facts are facts. The president is a socialist. The number ought to be much higher than 67 percent." [Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, 3/24/10]
Limbaugh: "We are fighting a fascist, social -- whatever you call it -- takeover and remaking of the United States." In September 2009, Limbaugh said: "The Republican Party's got problems -- do not misunderstand me -- but nothing posed by the Republican Party is a threatening as what Obama is doing," adding that "[w]e are fighting a fascist, social -- whatever you call it -- takeover and remaking of the United States." He then suggested that Obama wants "to tear up the Constitution and rewrite it," "take over the mortgage business," "put the federal government in charge of every dollar the American people have access to." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 9/17/09]
Morris: Obama is "going to adopt the entire socialist program by essentially circumventing the Constitution." On March 19, talking about President Obama's policies, Fox News contributor Dick Morris, who has repeatedly referred to Obama as a "socialist," stated: "I think he'll pass amnesty for illegal immigrants with it [reconciliation]; he'll pass cap and trade; he'll pass financial regulation; he'll pass the public option -- between the House doing the 'deem to have passed' and the Senate doing reconciliation, he's got his own little Constitution going here." He later added that Obama "is going to adopt the entire socialist program by essentially circumventing the Constitution." [Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor; 3/19/10]
Beck: Obama "is so clearly" a socialist. Talking about an interview Obama had with The New York Times, during which Obama was asked, "Are you a socialist as some people have suggested?" Fox News host Neil Cavuto said Beck "started" the trend of questioning whether Obama is a socialist because Beck was "calling him socialist on your show." Beck replied that Obama "is so clearly" a socialist, adding that "he has surrounded himself with Marxists his whole life" and that "this is who he is." [Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, 3/9/09]
Hannity: Obama admin is pushing "the single biggest power grab and move towards socialism in the history of the country." On his Fox News show, Sean Hannity stated: "In the last two days, we know this administration has pushed the idea of the single biggest power grab and move towards socialism in the history of the country." The Wall Street Journal's Stephen Hayes and former Fox Business executive Alexis Glick both agreed, with Hayes saying, "That's right" and Glick replying, "Yeah." [Fox News' Hannity, 3/24/09]
Dobbs: "[S]ocialism has arrived in the first three months of this year." Citing an "amazing stat," which he said demonstrated that "when we talk about socialism, we're not just a-woofing, as the saying goes," Lou Dobbs said on his radio show, "For the first time in the history of the United States, the federal government has supplanted sales, property, and income taxes at the state level as the biggest source of money for state and local governments." He later added: "[S]o socialism has arrived in the first three months of this year, folks, and it is -- well, it is what it is, and it's not going to change, I'm afraid, for a little while." [United Stations Radio Networks' The Lou Dobbs Show, 5/5/09]

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse was designed first and foremost for speed, but a special run of six Legendes de Bugatti models – starting with the Veyron Jean-Pierre Wimille edition shown here – are supposed to celebrate the automaker's history.
As the name suggests, the Legendes de Bugatti series aims to celebrate prominent figures and vehicles from Bugatti's history. Each car will differ only in cosmetic detail, meaning the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is otherwise mechanically stock. As such, its 8.0-liter, quad-turbocharged W-12 engine produces 1200 hp and 1106 lb-ft, and is capable of rocketing the roadster from 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds.
That's quite a bit faster than the Bugatti 57G Tank race cars Jean-Pierre Wimille had at his disposal when he won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in both 1937 and 1939. Bugatti opted to pattern the look of his honorific Veyron after the car he drove in 1937, and the Veyron's two-tone blue paint job replicates that of Wimille's 57G – albeit with a twist. While the bright "Wimille Blue" panels are painted, the darker blue body panels are colored by spraying tinted clear coat over the Veyron's carbon fiber bodywork. The two-tone theme continues into the interior, which boasts dark blue leather seating with Wimille's signature embroidered into the headrests.
"The materials and colors selected, as well as a host of details, all reference the essential characteristics of the classic Bugattis driven by those to whom our edition pays homage," explains Achim Anscheidt, Bugatti's chief designer, in a prepared release. "With these Bugatti Legends, we are giving history a modern makeover."
Bugatti will unveil the Veyron Jean-Pierre Wimille at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in early August, but ultimately build only three examples before moving to the next chapter in the Legendes de Bugatti series. We've no further details on future subjects or launch timing, but Bugatti says the subquent Legends models will be introduced over the next year.

This kind of thing is nothing new for Anwan who has also been shot at different times in his life and also watched his son get shot over a pair of shoes. Anwan told police he was at Cafe Asia when someone hit him in the head and another person punched him which caused him to fall to the ground where he was kicked multiple times and then stabbed. I know there are a lot of crazy people out in the world, but it seems strange Anwan has no idea why anyone would want to hurt him. This was not just one person or a couple of guys out in the street looking to rob him. This was in a club with lots of other people when multiple people attacked Anwan but nothing was stolen from him which discounts robbery as a motive. i think he knows, but isn't saying anything and if he hadn't been stabbed and required medical attention, probably wouldn't have reported it to the police.

Still having pregnancy symptoms after miscarriage
I had a miscarriage on Tuesday at 6 weeks and 2 days along. I passed the embryo as a full thing and could see a lot of the details on it so I know that's what it was. I've had light bleeding since Monday that has never really gotten heavy. Starting yesterday I've had some brown spotting. I've never had very bad cramps through the whole thing except for a little bit on Monday night. Even though I know I'm not pregnant anymore I still have so many symptoms. It makes it harder because I know it's for nothing. I couldn't possibly have gotten pregnant again because the last time I had sex was a little over a week ago when I was still pregnant. Is it normal to still feel pregnant even after it's gone? I had just started getting pregnancy symptoms week by week (morning sickness, sore and swollen breasts, sensitive smell) on Monday and then Tuesday I lost the baby. I didn't even know I was pregnant until Tuesday morning then a couple hours later it came out of me. I'm in the process of getting my hcg levels tested and will know the results on Thursday. Is it normal to still feel pregnant or should these symptoms go away? I'm almost positive they're not all in my head. This pregnancy was unplanned but I'm still devastated by my loss. Is it possible that it could have been twins and there's still one in there? That seems unlikely since the other one came out. What do you think, is this normal?

Hi Palsoma76,
I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. It is common to have pregnancy symptoms for a time (sometimes weeks) after miscarriage. However, I can also say that I've known two women who were pregnant with twins, and lost one twin while carrying and delivering the other full term.
It's also possible to have some bleeding during pregnancy without losing the baby. It's good that you're getting your hCG levels checked, but the best way to know whether you're still pregnant or not is to have a vaginal ultrasound which would be able to pick up a heartbeat at 6 weeks along.
Big hugs,

Hi Palsoma76,
I see you are a new member and first want to welcome you to the PBB forums.
I am very sorry for your miscarriage. A loss is a loss whether it was a planned pregnancy or not and it is understandable that you would feel sad about it.
I agree with everything Kate said. It is great that you are continuing to get monitored and I would definitely request a vaginal ultrasound if hCG levels aren't going down. I know that after I had my miscarriage (I was 9 weeks) it took a while for my hormone levels to even out again.
I wish you the best and please do keep us posted!

Photos: SCIG Harbor Commission Meeting
SAN PEDRO — Despite protests from Wilmington and Long Beach residents, Los Angeles harbor leaders brought the construction of a $500 million railyard one step closer to reality when they endorsed the project's final environmental impact report Thursday.
Supporters, however, including business groups and trade unions, applauded the decision.
The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners voted unanimously to support the final EIR for the Southern California International Gateway railyard proposed by BNSF Railway Co., which would operate the facility under a 50-year lease with the Harbor Department. That lease, up for a vote by the harbor commission in the coming weeks, would have to go before the Los Angeles City Council before work can begin.
The $8.1 million report analyzes the environmental impacts created by the 153-acre facility being proposed in an industrial area near the Terminal Island Freeway.
It would allow trucks to load containers and put them on trains closer to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, rather than having trucks drive 24 miles away to the BNSF Hobart Yard.
The facility, if built, would be able to handle up to 2.8 million container units from the ports, including 570,800 units in 2016, the first year of operation, according to a port report.
The daylong meeting today drew more than 600 people to the Cruise Center Terminal Annex Building. About 100 people over the course of five hours weighed in on the EIR.
The project faces opposition from health and environmental groups and residents in the area who say the project will exacerbate traffic and health issues already affecting the neighborhoods and are asking to move the facility to other port properties or provide more mitigation measures.
"Can't we build on-dock railyards to handle the cargo?" said Greater Long Beach Interfaith Community Organization Executive Director Patrick Kennedy, who wore a "No SCIG" T-shirt. "What we should be talking about today is the railyard we need for Terminal Island, not a railyard four miles away next to schools and neighborhoods."
Another speaker presented death certificates of people who died from respiratory-related illnesses.
The project, first proposed in 2005, is in proximity of several schools, day care centers and parks, including the Villages at Cabrillo, which offers transitional housing for homeless veterans, families and children.
"Health should not be a luxury," one Long Beach resident said. "We just want to breathe."
Several Long Beach leaders, including Mayor Bob Foster, City Councilman James Johnson, whose 7 th District is affected by the project, and Long Beach Unified School District Board Member Felton Williams also voiced their opposition.
"Long Beach residents bear nearly all the burdens of this project," Foster said, adding that BNSF has done little to mitigate the project's impacts to Long Beach neighborhoods, especially schools.
"(It's) very hard for me to accept that you value the life of a kid on this side of the city border more than you do a kid in my city," Foster said.
Meanwhile, business officials including the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and other proponents, many of them construction and electrical workers wearing bright orange T-shirts, expressed their support.
"It's very significant - it brings union wages that come with benefits, not only for the workers, but our families," said Marvin Magana, an apprentice electrician whose family has benefitted from the port activity. "It affects workers, including those who work with their hands."
Proponents spoke of the use of green technology at the facility, the removal of 1.5 million trucks annually from the Long Beach (710) Freeway and the jobs generated from the facility. About 1,500 direct and indirect jobs would be created to build the project, and up to 1,096 jobs to operate the facility when it reaches full capacity by 2035, according to the report.
"Creating local jobs should be a priority," given that the county's unemployment rate is at around 11 percent, Carson Mayor Jim Dear said in a letter that was read to board.
After five hours of testimony, the commissioners weighed in on the report.
Harbor Board Vice President David Arian, a longtime longshoreman who is now retired, said that while he is sensitive to the environmental issues in neighborhoods, the additional rail is necessary as the Panama Canal threatens to take away business here.
"It's the only way to stay competitive," he said. "It's the only way to deal with the canal."
Arian also called out Long Beach.
"That point was missed in this whole discussion, that the main job and (goods movement) benefit is going to be made by the two ports," he said. "That's the only way we're going to compete. It's the only way we're going to get that market share."
Board President Cindy Miscikowski said she recalled a time when the Port of Los Angeles could not build projects because of environmental concerns. But with new clean air programs, air pollution has been reduced even though the port has grown.
"Growth doesn't necessarily mean more bad impact," she said.
In a statement, BNSF Chairman and CEO Matthew K. Rose, who was in Long Beach this week for a trade conference, applauded the commission's approval of the project's EIR.
"The Commissioners' vote today validates that building SCIG is the right choice for green growth in Los Angeles and will be a new environmental model for the rest of the country," Rose said. "We appreciate all the support today from a wide range of stakeholders and stand ready to invest $500 million to build this state-of-the-art facility and bring jobs, air quality and traffic benefits to Southern California while helping keep the San Pedro ports competitive."
Meanwhile, SCIG opponents said they will continue fighting and intend to appeal the environmental study decision to the Los Angeles City Council.
"We know this is a bad project and we know that the community of Wilmington and West Long Beach knows it's a bad project," said Long Beach activist Angelo Logan, who works for the East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice. "We're standing by our members and we're fighting this until the end."

Dooney & Bourke, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein-- you likely know these names. You might even carry one of their handbags. But there's an up and coming name in the same league as these big-time brands, Patricia Nash. And she calls East Tennessee home.
In a cozy, chic store on the 100 block of Gay Street, gorgeous leather bags grace the shelves, each with intricate detail.
"I've always taken this old world craftsmanship and wanted to put it on a today bag with rope in the handles or the edges burned," said Nash.
Patricia Nash is the brand and the woman behind the handbags. Patricia grew up for the most part in Houston. She was an adventurous child and came by it honestly.
"My dad used to be quite the adventurer. He had a plane when I was little and I loved to fly with him. He'd let me hold the wheel and pull it back and pull it in. Gosh, I was only six or seven years old," she said.
And she was creative. That came out even more later when she got married and had kids of her own.
"I loved to cut and paste and color. I remember coloring forever even when my children were little I would color with them and when they stopped I'd still be coloring watching TV," said Nash.
She mixed that passion with her good business sense.
"I opened up a little shop called The Basket Case and I had basketry, wicker furniture and I used to do silk floral arrangements," she recalled.
That store expanded to three stores, but there was a massive fire while she was pregnant with her second child, so she decided to take some time off. That didn't last long. Soon Patricia started Innovo inc.
"It was household items. It was aprons with sayings on them and little kitchen trivets and it kind of evolved into children's items, craft paint sets, craft aprons, little mugs," she described. "I got different licenses with MLB or Nickelodeon or the Muppets, or Ninja Turtles."
She eventually took that company public and moved on to another venture in Nashville that didn't go as planned. She moved to Knoxville and was considering retirement.
"That's when I was asked to consult with some different companies in New York," she said.
She ended up with a design team working on handbag designs for dozens of brands like Banana Republic, Express and American Eagle to name a few.
"Someone said to me, 'Why are you doing everyone else's brands and why are you consulting? Why don't you do your own brand?'"
Patricia's wheels started and Patricia Nash the brand was born.
"It's always inspired by some old works, something vintage I found," she said. "I saw an old horse feed bag, that they would put over the neck of the horse and the horse would feed on and I made a bucket bag out of it."
She also plays with prints like turning the pattern on a vintage dress into a handbag design.
In just four short years, Patricia Nash has grown into a brand that gives big labels big competition.
"We're in Dillard's. We're in Macy's. We're in Nordstrom, Lord and Taylor," said Nash. "We're probably one of the most promising new designer brands that are in department stores right now."
All of this success, travels all over the world and Patricia wouldn't live anywhere else.
"I love it and you know what's even more ironic is my husband loves it. He's a born and bred London man and lived there for 50 years and now he's here in Knoxville and loves it," she said.
Patricia Nash, gorgeous rich leather bags, yes, but also a really savvy business woman with a deep love for East Tennessee.
One of Your Stories. There's no place like this one.
Patricia Nash's whole family has a passion for downtown Knoxville. Patricia's daughter works for her handbag company. Her husband invested in the Crown and Goose and her son is head chef and operator of the popular restaurant.

And when he tried to avoid saying he wanted to repeal Roe v. wade.
AIG attorneys also have said that wade Dill's actions were related to marital and family problems.
See, for example, the decades of blowback that have followed Roe v. wade, or the school-desegregation rulings.
Forty years ago Tuesday, the Supreme Court ushered in legal abortion for American women when it decided in Roe v. wade.
They were busily implementing these in cases like Roe v. wade when a right-wing insurgency took them by surprise.
You'll wade through bog and fight your way through underbrush.
Then she asked who'd seen you last, and if anyone had given you leave to wade.
It is said some of the boys had to wade ashore; but none were lost—thank God!
Between him and his home there was the road to cross and the meadow to wade through.
wade swung around with a start and found himself looking over the hedge-top into a smiling, ruddy, gold-spectacled countenance.
Old English wadan "to go forward, proceed," in poetic use only, except as oferwaden "wade across," from Proto-Germanic *wadan (cf. Old Norse vaða, Danish vade, Old Frisian wada, Dutch waden, Old High German watan, German waten "to wade"), from PIE root *wadh- "to go," found only in Germanic and Latin (cf. Latin vadere "to go," vadum "shoal, ford," vadare "to wade"). Italian guado, French gué "ford" are Germanic loan-words.
Specifically of walking into water from c.1200. Originally a strong verb (past tense wod, past participle wad); weak since 16c. Figurative sense of "to go into" (action, battle, etc.) is recorded from late 14c. Related: Waded; wading.

What Causes Infertility?
I haven't been pregnant since I am still single. I used to carry 2 pails of water back and forth from our well to the washing machine when I'm washing my clothes, or sometimes I carry heavy things. Will it really affect my fertility or my future pregnancy??

Hi Cheska,
Normal, every day activities, like carrying heavy pails of water will not affect a woman's fertility. Of course carrying heavy things later in pregnancy should be avoided or done with a great deal of caution, but before pregnancy there is no concern. The reproductive organs are well protected, and even during the first few weeks of pregnancy, bub will be tucked down low, and protected behind your pubic bone.
One of the best ways to help you determine whether you are fertile or not is to learn to watch your body's personal signs of fertility. If you aren't using any hormonal birth control right now (like the pill) then you will be able to see how balanced your hormones are by simply observing some simple signs throughout your cycle.
If you can learn when your body is fertile and when it is not, then it will make it easier for you to conceive once you are ready.
I used natural family planning for 7 years to avoid pregnancy, and then when my husband was finally ready to try for a baby, I just reversed what I was doing. Instead of avoiding sex during the time when I was fertile, we engaged in sex during that time, and I conceived the first month we tried.
Natural family planning is just as effective as using the pill when done properly (as was the case with my husband and I), offering 99% effectiveness in postponing pregnancy. The best thing is that it is natural and you avoid the risks of cancer and other side effects of using hormonal birth control.
I hope this helps to put your mind at ease, and that you'll gain confidence in knowing when you are fertile each month, and when you aren't. Please post back with any questions. We can help guide you in this.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate!
It bothers me whenever my sister tells me that fetching pails of water will affect my fertility. I have a healthy body and a regular menstruation as well. I am not also taking pills since I don't need it, I hope I'll have a healthy baby in my future pregnancy. Thank you for your informational answer, I really appreciate it, it helped me a lot. God bless!

Hi Cheska,
I would encourage you to start watching your fertility signs just for your own information. If you do this, you will even know how to tell when you're period is going to start It is fascinating how God made the body so that it can tell you exactly where you are in your monthly cycles and if you are fertile or not.
You mention that your sister tells you that fetching pails of water will affect your fertility. Has she ever struggled with getting pregnant herself, or does she know someone that has? Sometimes, if someone is having a hard time getting pregnant, they will be overly cautious about many things, and though they will avoid things that could hinder fertility, they may also avoid things that have no effect.
I once read that eating green peas can make someone infertile. Though this may be true if you eat too many of them, the average woman won't eat enough peas each week to cause infertility. So eating peas can actually be healthy if you are trying to conceive, if you have normal portions and don't eat them all day long
Warm Regards,

Turns out I had a three week running log clicked in on 2 gb
Hey guys
For a longer period of time Ive been running BT4 B off a usb drive.
The partition is as following:
Base - 2 GB (1.1 still free)
Changes - 6 GB (0 Free)
The only installs that Ive done are
Nvidia GFX drivers
Metasploit FW 3.2
A few *LARGE* driver packs
This has been running great but a couple of days ago I noticed a decrease in performance and now I cant even launch KDE because of lack of disk space.
Ive mentioned that Im a linux n00b and because of it Ive already formatted my changes partition several times before finally getting the hang of things properly.
At the moment the only alternative I have is to copy hordes of logs and scripts, reformatting, copying back and reinstalling everything - which easily results in atleast a couple of days of nonsense...
Id be very appreciative for advice on the matter, thanks.
*Edit - Sorry I should probably mention that I dont understand how its possible for the entire 6 GB to be consumed...
Turns out I had a three week running log clicked in on 2 gb

Security audit finds dev OUTSOURCED his JOB to China to goof off at work
I'm pretty certain a strong case could be made for fraud. He was employed by several companies (not just the one that sparked the investigation), and considered a star programmer. He was obviously misrepresenting his skills, and being paid handsomely for it. If the company wanted to outsource their jobs to China, I'm sure they would.Adding in the stuff about his token, which I'm sure could have led to a massive breach of security if it got into the wrong hands, and I'm surprised he wasn't arrested.

AMES, Iowa — Brothers and sisters can seem to be arch enemies one moment and best friends the next, say family life specialists Donna Donald and Lori Hayungs. During July, they'll talk about sibling relationships in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
Some sibling relationships can best be described as "can't live with them, can't live without them," Donald said. "Some people who don't have siblings consider themselves lucky, while others wish they had brothers or sisters. The mixed feelings we have about siblings are reflected in what research tells us."
The good news is that while siblings fight a lot, they also learn to resolve the conflicts, Hayungs said. "This is a valuable social skill that translates well into relationships in school. Fast forward into the adult world with personal and work relationships, and you can readily see how living with siblings is a rehearsal for later life."
During July, Donald and Hayungs will talk about the benefits and challenges of siblings, stereotypes and how siblings shape each other's lives. Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast.
Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

text: Posted January 20, 2013 I know you've experienced it before. When things aren't going right. When you're in a funk. Whether it's personal or business. We've all experienced it.. Then things start to happen. From little to big things. This has been the rhetoric of the Carolina Panthers of late. Take a step forward and then two back. Let's flashback to 2010. When everything was in a funk. A lame duck coach. Yes, Foxy was a lame duck coach. NO matter what any of you that wish he was still here say. He was a LAME DUCK COACH. Hey, it is what it is.. or what it was. Having a QB carousel, not knowing who will start the next week. A rookie QB that was thrown to the wolves. Sure he wasn't any good to begin with but eh. He was dead on arrival. The staff was as vanilla as can be. Jeff Davidson was the OC then. Remember that? Run, run, pass on 3rd and long, punt (good play man good play!). Predictable. 2011 Draft. Cam becomes our 'savior', start out bad, finish strong. the rest is history. (Lockout was the main scapegoat for this season. Injuries as well. Lack of experience from the coaching staff.) 2012 comes, high hopes on everyones minds. We start out horribly, finish strong with a 1 game improvement. What was the scapegoat this season? Coaching staff regressing? Injuries to key players? Lack of talent at certain positions? Yes on all accounts. The Coaching staff for whatever reason did not progress like most of us would have thought. Chud went "full retard". Yes, he somehow thought it would be a great Idea that running the Read Option as a base offense would work. When the prior year it wasn't done that way. It was thrown in periodically. Was it Rivera's fault for not supervising Chud? Could be.. He shares part of the blame. But ultimately that was on Chud for even thinking about it. The running game was abandoned. Towards the end of the season we finally clicked. But again, took a step forward at the end of 2011, and took two steps back in the beginning of this season. I blame mostly Chud for this. McDermott, who even as of last year. I thought was a moron... Really won me over. I believe that the players finally bought into his system. It works. Sure it worked for sub par teams. But let's look at the Denver Game. Take away the special teams blunders, that game was controlled by this defense for a huge chunk of the time. Keeping Manning In check. But again, Denvers special teams just steam rolled through ours. The momentum was too much. Not McD's department. Most of the season the wins can be accounted for 1 key play in the defense. That falls to lack of Talent at the players in that position. Safety. Corner in some games. Not going to go in the 'had (Players name) made that play' game. We all know that doesn't exist. The special teams, which was suppose to improve with a certain player from Arkansas, did not. Armanti Edwards was the person that took care of these responsibilities. Yes. He did an ok job. But being run down by the punter? Come on man. Rivera: There's been plenty of blunders that he's committed. Time management is still a foreign concept to him. Time outs with a minute left and the ability to move up the field to get at least 3 points is a sin. Regardless, during the whole seasons progression. I did notice he took command, being under a lot of heat. I mean tremendous heat. After Hurney was fired. I believe this was the turning point of the Coaching staff. Rivera firing the special teams coach as well. Could be a scapegoat, who knows. But it took balls. In the beginning of the season where you have one of the leagues most talented backfields, and expensive, you don't feel comfortable enough to go for it on 4th and 1 to finish a game? Not even mentioning Cam Newtons 6'5 frame that could easily stretch out to get 1 freaking yard... Rivera grew some balls. Yes, testicular fortitude was acquired in the latter part of the season. There were several games we went for it. The Raiders game to go for the field goal to seal the win. It took cojones. Ending the season with a one game improvement isn't much of an improvement. But it is an improvement regardless. I'm not condoning mediocrity. But I am promoting patience. 2008 was a long time ago. We yearn as a fan base the ability to talk poo to others that we're in the playoffs and they aren't. That we're the best team of our division but we're not. I understand that. Take a look at this off season so far. "One step forward, two steps back.." Oh wait. Gettleman is a huge step forward. Shula is more of a lateral move to me (admittedly I though as this as a step backwards). I did not want him at first but then I soaked it in a bit. Chud won't be playing mad scientist anymore. He won't be here to abandon that running game we have. Skipper was hired again, that's another huge plus. A third year in the same system will help Cam. The draft isn't even here yet and our holes are glaring but minimal. The lines and weapons for Cam. We aren't making this team learn new systems which would set us back. If anything we'll have a more balanced attack with more use of our running backs. That's the way I see it. So far I don't see a step backwards. TL;DR? Patience.

Man hospitalized after claiming to be Whitesnake drummer
Listen to Whitesnake on iHeartRadio
A Massachusetts man was taken into custody after claiming to be Whitesnake's drummer.
Massachusetts' "Gloucester Times" says police first encountered the man last Thursday. He was sleeping in the doorway of an apartment complex, and officers were called to remove him from the area.
A few hours later, police responded to another call about the man, who was creating a disturbance at a local business. At this time he told officers he was the drummer for Whitesnake. When police couldn't verify his claims, they sent him to the hospital for evaluation.
Whitesnake has gone through eight drummers since forming in 1978. Dave Dowle was the group's first drummer, who stayed for less than two years. Tommy Aldredge currently keeps the beat for the band. He's also marking his third run as a member of the group.

St. Catherine University partners with University of Minnesota to launch high-altitude weather balloon
During Minnesota Aerospace and Aviation Week, students and faculty from St. Catherine University teamed up with students and faculty from the University of Minnesota to launch a high-altitude weather balloon on Flight Day.
The goal of the flight was to use a helium-filled latex weather balloon to lift scientific payloads into "near space." Students and faculty would then recover the units, retrieving data that would later be used for scientific research.
Though the weather balloon did not reach its anticipated height on this particular day, the students conducted a successful launch.

Abu Said relates that the Prophet (saas) said: In the End Times, my community will suffer tribulations from their rulers. Such a scourge that the like will never have been seen before. So much so that the world will be like a prison and full of oppression. BELIEVERS WILL BE UNABLE TO FIND A REFUGE AND A SAVIOR TO ESCAPE THIS OPPRESSION...

Englewood, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Denver Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan was carted off the field with an apparent left knee injury.
Trevathan was taken off the field during 11-on-11 drills at Tuesday's practice.
"Danny Trevathan left with what appears to be a knee injury," Broncos head coach John Fox said via the team's Twitter account. "We'll wait and see what the results are."
The University of Kentucky product became a full-time starter in his second- career season in 2013, leading the team with 129 tackles to go along with two sacks, three interceptions and three forced fumbles.
