Keep Pennsylvania Safe From Fracking
Powerful gas industry lobbyists and their allies in Harrisburg are pushing through policies that would expose our environment and communities to the dangers of shale gas drilling. But they've got a fight on their hands — thousands of Pennsylvanians are joining our call to help stop gas drilling from threatening our environment and our public health.
Fracking is leaving a trail of pollution across Pennsylvania
The faster the gas industry grows, the bigger the swath of destruction it leaves across Pennsylvania.
Already, gas companies employing a dangerous form of drilling known as "hydrofracking" have contaminated our drinking water with benzene, toluene, formaldehyde and other dangerous contaminants; dumped under-treated wastewater in rivers and streams from the Monongahela to Neshaminy Creek; and clearcut our state forestland to make way for gas wells.
At risk: The health of our environment and communities
Countless Pennsylvanians living close to gas wells have seen their lives turn upside down. Families living in the shadow of gas drilling face explosions mere feet from their doorsteps, polluted tap water that is unsafe to drink, toxic fumes in the air they breathe, and more:
- Pat Farnelli and her kids suffered excruciating stomach pain whenever they drank tap water. Despite industry denials, the DEP concluded that nearby drilling had contaminated 19 water wells in Pat's town.
- Health experts are finding increased air pollution near drilling sites, and residents living near gas operations have consistently experienced dizziness and nosebleeds.
- Dimock resident Norma Fiorentino's personal water well exploded in her front yard on New Year's Day in 2009. State investigators found that Cabot's nearby drilling had caused the well to fill up with combustible methane gas.
- June Chapel feared for her safety and was forced to stay indoors when the toxic wastewater pit in her backyard caught on fire.
- The Johnson family was forced to quarantine 28 head of cattle on their farm after they came in contact with toxic gas drilling fluid.
- Watch our Marcellus Shale Stories video series to learn more about how drilling impacts the lives of Pennsylvanians.
These stories only scratch the surface. It all adds up to one simple, powerful message: The drilling happening across Pennsylvania is dangerous to our environment, and to Pennsylvanians like you and me. And gas companies are either unwilling or unable to drill safely.
Gas companies have friends in high places
What are our leaders in Harrisburg doing while the gas industry runs amok? At best, they're turning a blind eye. At worst, they're working with industry lobbyists to loosen up the rules even more.
With the backing of Gov. Corbett and his friends in the Legislature, the gas industry is pushing a set of policies that will make it even easier for them to run roughshod over our environment. We need your help to stop this from happening.
With our activism and advocacy, we can stop the dangers of Fracking
With your help, we're working to stop this runaway train from rolling right through our communities, spoiling our water, forests and air in its wake.
It won't be easy, especially with a governor who's pocketed huge sums from drilling companies and a Legislature that refuses to stand up to him.
But we're in this fight for the long haul. With your help, we're building the vocal public outcry that's needed against drilling — a voice that will be too loud for the lobbyists to drown out, and too loud for our legislators to ignore. And our strategy starts at the grassroots:
- We're going to inform and educate 100,000 people about the threats of gas drilling.
- PennEnvironment Field Director Adam Garber is holding Citizen Organizer trainings across the state to teach 1,000 Pennsylvanians the skills they need defend their communities from gas drilling.
- Clean Water Advocate Erika Staaf is releasing hard-hitting reports exposing the damage the gas industry has already caused.
- We're collecting petitions to hold our legislators' feet to the fire, and turning up the heat on Gov. Corbett as the next election approaches, so that he knows the public is not happy with his gas-industry-fueled policies.
Thousands of you have already joined the fight. Across the Commonwealth, you're calling or emailing your legislators, signing petitions, spreading the word to your friends and family, and attending hearings. We need many more people like you to join with us, and send a strong message that the health of Pennsylvania's environment and communities is more important than short-term political gain.
Key Facts
- Learn the truth about fracking. Watch our new expose and take action to stop fracking today.
- 65 drilling companies have committed more than 4,000 violations of Pennsylvania's environmental laws over the course of four years.
- Roughly 700,000 acres of state forestland has been leased to private companies for gas drilling — our state parks could be next on the chopping block.
- From the diesel exhaust produced by trucks and equipment, to gases vented from wells, condensers or waste ponds, air pollution from Marcellus Shale gas production poses risks to the health of nearby residents, and could cause greater air quality concerns statewide.
- PennEnvironment and our activists need your help to inform 100,000 Pennsylvanians about this issue, train and empower 1,000 people to take action in their communities, and help send a strong message to legislators that you want our environment and public health protected from dangerous drilling.
- In 2005, there were only a handful of gas drilling wells in Pennsylvania. Today, there are more than 5,800. And the industry predicts that thousands more will be drilled in the coming years.

PHOTO: Michael Stipe joins Chris Martin on stage at 12.12.12 Concert
Listen to Coldplay on iHeartRadio | Listen to R.E.M. on iHeartRadio
Chris Martin took the stage on Wednesday at the 12.12.12 Concert at New York City's Madison Square Garden to help raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief. After his performance of "When I Ruled the World," he cracked a joke about boy band One Direction saying, "I know you wanted One Direction, but it's passed their bedtime."
But the Coldplay star turned the laughs into shock and awe when he surprised everyone by bringing out R.E.M's Michael Stipe to perform "Losing My Religion" acoustically.

Teacher: No regrets about stopping fight with broom handle
(Detroit, MI) -- A former Detroit high school teacher is making no apologies for intervening in a fight in her classroom. Tiffani Eaton used a broom handle to strike one of the ninth-grade boys exchanging punches to stop the violence earlier this month and lost her job as a result. Eaton spoke publicly for the first time yesterday, saying her actions were reasonable when considering the immediacy and her predicament.
On Tuesday morning, she was informed she will get her job back, and be granted back pay. According to WDVI, the schools principal supported Tiffani, and said she "should never have been fired. Period".

Full line-up including some great undercard fights, viewing details and ticket details all here:
Winner has to be the favourite right now, but there's some damn good fighters in the mix there!
worth noting that although a worthy favorite, out of Winners 22 fights 14 have gone the full distance (over 60 percent)
this obviously isn't the best in a tourney type set up, how does the tourney work in terms of rounds?
looks like a great show as you say even the undercard looks decent
I think its 2rds with a 3rd if needed and the final is 3rds... im sure I read that somewhere but might be wrong!
I fancy Glover as an outside bet ;)
Not impressed with your performance
Great lineup any1 can take this ill go with stapleton
Why is there only 7 guys on the poster? Just wondered.
The article is going to be updated in about 30 seconds with the full tournament stipulations.
Updated - here's the round formats.
- They quarters and semis will be fought under 2x5 minute rounds, with the exception of a third sudden death round if the scores are deemed to be equal.
- The final will be 3x5 minute rounds.
Great lineup any1 can take this ill go with stapleton
Stapes or Glover to take this. Edging towards stapes as his cardio is mega.

thank the ipod lord. i can't count the times where me and my friends would take each other's ipods and pull all the apps in one folder just to mess with the others. not too mature but still worth the entertainment value :P
Now all we need is for MultiIconMover to be able to move folders.
Edit: Unfolder doesn't work on my iPhone4 running iOS 4.3.3, I get the alert "Do I want to delete the bookmark xxxxx", but nothing happens after I tap "Delete" and the alert goes away.
While this is nice, what I really need is a way to manage my iFolders OFF my iDevice.
I'd like to use a computer, preferably Mac, to manage folders: move apps in & out of folders, move folders between iDevice 'pages', make backups of app/folder arrangements.

It's official: Microsoft's concerned about GNU/Linux
Without fanfare (as expected), Microsoft filed its 10-K form to the Security and Exchange Commission.
In it, however, we find that Microsoft bemoans the fact that their "business model," well, might tend to suck in comparison to the open source business model. Not only that — and maybe you should sit down for this — all that, ahem, innovation stemming from Redmond might suffer because they would have to lower their prices to keep competitive.
Let's take a look, shall we? Some of the more tasty, entertaining morsels are:
"Our business model has been based upon customers paying a fee to license software that we developed and distributed . . . . In recent years, certain "open source" software business models have evolved into a growing challenge to our license-based software model.
[And for this we are truly thankful.]
"Open source commonly refers to software whose source code is subject to a license allowing it to be modified, combined with other software and redistributed, subject to restrictions set forth in the license . . . . A prominent example of open source software is the Linux operating system."
[Wait for it . . ]
"Although we believe our products provide customers with significant advantages in security, productivity and total cost of ownership (emphasis added to highlight both the audacity and humor of this clause), the popularization of the open source software model continues to pose a significant challenge to our business model . . .
[When you stop laughing, I'll continue.]
" . . .including continuing efforts by proponents of open source software to convince governments worldwide to mandate the use of open source software in their purchase and deployment of software products.
[For this we are truly thankful.]
"To the extent open source software gains increasing market acceptance, sales of our products may decline, we may have to reduce the prices we charge for our products, and revenue and operating margins may consequently decline."
[One can only hope.]
(Larry Cafiero, editor/publisher of Open Source and Free Software Reporter, is an associate member of the Free Software Foundation.)

Let me get this straight (after reading Microsoft's 10-K Form)…Open source:
(1) Allows a fairer market where competition thrives.
(2) Lowers the cost for those involved in the development.
(3) Allows business start-ups to enter the market more easily.
(4) Lowers the cost for consumers and users.
(Free for open source users AND lowers the cost for users of proprietary software).
You wonder why its getting popular! LOL!
March 26, 2008 at 6:46 am
Microsoft often prognosticates some sort of doom-and-gloom in their 10-K filings.
Not only do they need to give their shareholders a "heads up" on any and all risks, but as long as there are competitive pressures, Microsoft can use these points to defend against any anti-competitive sentiments.
Long live Linux! Freedom!
-Tom Woz

What will hurt Microsoft is companies selling pre-installed Linux.

Great article showing that Linux is becoming a better OS and might be a mainstream OS someday.
April 6, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Hmm…. i had hoped they would remain ignorant of linux for a couple of more years… but in my view the days of paid software are over anyway. Who still wants to pay 300 euros for vista when you can get Sun Solaris Unix or Fedora Core Linux for free… just 2 name a couple.
But then again.. i always wanted to see microsoft collapse and i am hoping it will still become a reality in the future when all the brave stupid people who now still pay tons of money finally wake up and ditch windows all in one go 🙂

Read up about Bill Gate's history. the tech world was actually completely open source before he came along. he was the one that decided there should be licenses for software and that people that want to use it should pay money. thank god it's finally coming back and biting him in the ass. the GNU license is great 🙂

Walking into the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry building on a brilliant, Californian winter day seemed to reflect my feelings for the day: bright and optimistic. I had definitely been enjoying my winter break, but I couldn't wait to begin myPrinceternship with Dr. Kiki Chang '88, the Director of the Pediatric Bipolar Disorders Program who is also an Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, a child psychiatrist, and administers clinical research.
Evaline, the other Princetern, and myself had contacted Dr. Chang in the weeks leading up to the Princeternship, which helped us choose the best times and dates for all of us. We arrived in the lobby of the psychiatry building in the morning and waited for Dr. Chang to meet us there – unfortunately, his son had to be picked up sick from school. Instead, one of his clinical research coordinators, Rosie, happily met us in the lobby and brought us upstairs to her office and the "headquarters" of some of Dr. Chang's research. While Rosie prepared for the upcoming "case-ad", an interview with one of the subjects from a study, she enthusiastically answered our questions and provided us with a great background on what we would be sitting in on for the morning. We would be observing the longitudinal part of one of Dr. Chang's studies, "Identification of Genetic and Neurobiological Risk Factors for the Development of Early-Onset Bipolar Disorder" with a healthy control subject. Although the study focuses on discovering the possible factors of neurochemistry, genetic markers, and brain activations patterns that contribute to the onset of bipolar disorder, we learned that it is important to have healthy control subjects (those who do not have ADHD or mood problems or a parent with bipolar disorder) in order to compare results and claim significance.
Rosie took us to Meghan Howe's office, who is one of the Clinical Research Managers, where Dr. Chang quickly welcomed us and introduced himself to us before Meghan began the "case-ad" with the healthy control subject. The case-ad, in which Meghan interviewed the healthy subject about possible symptoms for mood disorder, lasted about a half hour. Afterwards, we accompanied Rosie and the healthy control subject while Rosie administered a few follow-up tests. Rosie administered the Affect Recognition, or the NEPSY test, which is used to evaluate a child's neuropsychological development through testing basic and complex aspects of cognition. We also observed the healthy control subject take the "MultiMorph" test, which uses a computer to morph a picture of a face from one mood to another (i.e., an angry face to a happy face).
When the healthy control subject left, we met Dr. Chang in the lobby where he brought us outside to the "Nom Nom Truck" (http://nomnomtruck.com/) for a delicious Vietnamese meal to-go. While waiting for our food, Dr. Chang was enthusiastic about getting familiar with our interests, our passions, and our goals, and we found that many of our interests overlapped. Dr. Chang and I found out that we even share the same residential building, Joline! We brought our lunch to a communal meeting with many prestigious psychiatrists, analysts, researchers, and mentors who discussed current research, ways to better research, and ways to better collaborate. The meeting brought together some of the brightest minds and experts in pediatric mood disorders. Straight from the meeting, Dr. Chang brought us to his office for another meeting with Rex Huang, the Chief Fellow of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Stanford Hospital and Clinics. Dr. Chang and Dr. Huang discussed recent patients, any dosage or medication changes, and any updates. It was really interesting to get a glimpse of Dr. Chang's overarching role in the clinic and to hear snapshots of Dr. Huang's individual and direct work with his patients.
Following that meeting, we rushed to a meeting with Alan Reiss, one of Dr. Chang's mentors and head of the neuroimaging lab, for a consultation on the findings of one of Dr. Chang's more recent studies. Amy Garrett, a Research Scientist and Neuroimaging Manager, Ryan Kelley and Spencer Boucher, neuroimaging research assistants, were also there to discuss the findings and the best possible way to present and publish them. From what I could understand, the study, CAFENE, used MRI to evaluate the neurological response to viewing images of a fear face, a calm face, or a neutral face. It was a great collaborative effort and the meeting worked as a conversation, with each person providing insight and asking further questions to better the understanding of the findings.
Afterwards, Amy Garrett and Victoria Cosgrove met us in Dr. Chang's office before heading off to another meeting. Dr. Chang drove us to the "Lucille-Packard Foundation" donor presentation, which we all thought would be a small meeting. We were all surprised when we walked into a room full of business suits, but Dr. Chang nonchalantly and humbly began his presentation. He opened the presentation with the importance of funding for Bipolar Disorder, especially in accordance with its "de-stigmatizing". Listening to Dr. Chang speak, I realized that, despite his success, he must overcome much adversity in order to receive recognition or donations for his research. The social stigma of Bipolar Disorder discourages many people from donating, especially when there are people out there who still believe that Bipolar Disorder doesn't exist or is simply an exaggeration of teenage "temper tantrums." Dr. Chang went on to present a summary of his work, discussing comorbidity factors, the difficulty of applying adult findings to children and adolescents, and how it affects a child's education. In the end, the meeting came together to brainstorm ideas on how to raise money for Dr. Chang's incredible work.
When Dr. Chang dropped us back off at 401 Quarry Road, I walked away with an immense amount of knowledge. Not only did all of my background research come together and apply to each of my experiences from today, I had learned so much about Dr. Chang's career and the careers of his colleagues. Everyone I had met was very enthusiastic and welcoming, but more importantly, they were all very down-to-earth. Dr. Chang was incredibly personable, friendly, and humble. It was definitely refreshing to see Dr. Chang, a man so modest with his success, in this business environment because his likability was impossible to deny. Looking back, I realized Dr. Chang's personality is evident in all of his relations with his colleagues we observed today, making for a very successful, upbeat atmosphere. Today I learned a lot about pediatric bipolar disorder, its research, and psychiatry, but I also learned the importance of personality in the workplace. I can't wait to start another day with Dr. Chang tomorrow!
Day Two
Evaline and I met Dr. Chang in the lobby and quickly went to his office where we had a "debriefing session". Dr. Chang first discussed mindfulness, the art of being aware of ourselves, and controlling our emotions and how this is involved in his future work. He then discussed the grant writing process that accompanies any research. He filled us in on the differences between mutltiple grant proposals he is writing. We were pretty intrigued by the approval process and review panel, which seems to exist very subjectively. From what I understand, a grant can be approved or turned down based on the opinion of one person, which makes for a pretty competitive system. Furthermore, Dr. Chang shared with us the pathway that brought him to his profession. I found his experiences relatable and enlightening, opening up my eyes to options I hadn't considered yet. He is a strong advocate for engaging in whatever makes one happy, "you won't be successful unless you enjoy what you are doing," he told us. I found these to be powerful words, especially from such a successful man who really contemplated the steps he took to get him to where he is now. His job embodies what he loves to do: he has a balance of research, of clinic involvement, or academia, of teaching, of pediatrics, and of travel. Dr. Chang was interested in our lives, as well, and we shared our experiences and hopes with him in return. We all seemed to harbor the "social conscious" that brought Dr. Chang to medicine.
After our debriefing session, Evaline and I went to lunch at the nearby Stanford Shopping Center and ordered sandwiches from La Baguette – a great, cute café. Over lunch, we were able to reflect on our experience so far and share our excitement for the upcoming plans Dr. Chang had for us. We met up with Dr. Chang at the clinical mood disorder meeting with other psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists who work in the clinic. The group discussed intakes, patients' updates, and Dr. Chang ended the meeting by teaching the group about clinical trials. He went over interventions and whether it be medication, therapy, education, CBT, DBT, or mindfulness. He then taught about the efficacy of trials, whether a subject is in remission or recovery, and the different measures of deciding these labels. The importance of NNT (number needed to treat) and NNH (number needed to harm) in clinical trials and medications was then discussed, teaching us that a medication with a low NNT and a high NNH is the most productive.
Afterwards, we had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Chang in the clinic. We sat in on four appointments, each with a girl in her teenage years. The patients had mood disorders from depression to bipolar disorder, from anxiety to schizophrenia. Often, Dr. Chang would first converse individually with a patient before bringing her parents in. The meeting served primarily to discuss dosage, but in order to discern which dosage would be appropriate, Dr. Chang needed behavioral updates from the individual and her family, as well as any updates on side effects. Dr. Chang filled us in on the background history of each patient, who all seemed to be doing well with treatment and experiencing improvements. Seeing Dr. Chang work in the clinic allowed me to understand what it would be like to be a practicing psychiatrist, the types of illness and issues a psychiatrist might deal with, and the ways in which a psychiatrist can directly and indirectly help a patient. Once again, I walked away with an incredible amount of new information and an invaluable experience that will certainly leave an impression on which medical pathway I'd like to take.
Day Three
Today, Evaline and I had the great opportunity to meet with Amy, Spencer and Ryan again in Alan Reiss's neuroimaging lab. We first met with Amy, who evaluates the neurology of eating disorders, mood disorders, and memory in elderly, to discuss the neuroimaging fMRI. She explained to us the physics and statistics of fMRI and explained to us the functional contrasts that we see in a brain scan. Furthermore, we learned about the traditional vs. original design of task-oriented scans, lowering the percent of unusable scans, and the variability that must be considered when evaluation a scan. For instance, you must understand and consider the comorbidity factors, the medication, and environmental factors when evaluating a scan. She also went on to lament the difficulties in recruitment for research and acknowledged that the likability Dr. Chang exhibited is extremely helpful not only for funding and for grants, but for recruitment as well. We then spent time with Spencer, who intelligently explained to us the program "FreeSurfer", which traces parts of the brain and discerns between white matter and grey matter. He spoke more about structural imaging, normalization, and the corrections that must be done with scans. Spencer showed us some of the faces used during the CAFENE study we heard about during a meeting on Monday, which were amusing and gave us all a good laugh. In addition, he talked about the simulation subjects must undergo before getting a real fMRI scan. They usually place a subject in a simulated fMRI scan with a video of Spongebob or a popular television show playing. If the subject moves, the video stops for four seconds in hopes of training the subject to stay still. With Spencer, we also talked about his major, cognitive science, and how he ended up where he is. I found this to be really helpful because it gave me a great sense of what someone can do with a degree or major and how I can use my abilities in the neuroimaging field.
Our final stop in the neuroimaging lab was with Ryan, one of the lab's favorite employees. Ryan was working on finalizing the CAFENE study paper we discussed in the meeting on Monday and helpfully went over the paper with us – by the end of our meeting with Ryan, we really understood all the scientific and complicated terms from the original CAFENE meeting. Ryan told us that CAFENE stood for CAlmFEarfulNEutral and explained that the calm face was used as the baseline because bipolar kids had a neurological response to the neutral face. We first went over the primary analysis, the establishment of whether or not bipolar kids have more activation in certain parts of their brain, in this case, the amygdala. We then went over the post hoc analysis, evaluating the genetic implications of the study. This dealt with the SERT allele, which was taken from a blood sample or a saliva test. We learned about the importance and power of integrating brain, behavior, and genes in a study for the integration provides the best answers to the questions. Ryan also told us about the difficulty of the research and the change from undergraduate writing to scientific writing, which tends to be short and simple, full of limitations. The morning in the neuroimaging lab taught me a lot about a field that I am finding very interesting and would like to explore more. The experience also showed the collaboration between medicine and technology, something I am also very interested in.
Evaline and I had lunch at the café downstairs and went to the cubicles upstairs for a little downtime and some work. We had been so busy the past two days that it was nice to relax for a while and reflect on what we had learned so far. Everyone we ran into while we were upstairs was so welcoming, engaging, and nice – it was a great environment to be in. After our break, we met back up with Dr. Chang and his colleagues, many of whom we already worked with, for a lab meeting. Recruitment, updates, announcements, and bonding options were all discussed during the meeting. Once again, it was great to see how many people are involved with Dr. Chang's work and each of their individual and group roles.
Afterwards, we were able to see one of the patient's from Dr. Chang's clinical trials, which he had taught his colleagues about in the meeting from yesterday. He had to interview the patient on her comprehensive history symptoms of bipolar disorder and discuss medication with her parents. The interview was upbeat and Dr. Chang created a great atmosphere for the patient, making her feel comfortable during the process.
Unfortunately, the end of the interview signaled our last moments of the Princeternship. I am definitely sad to leave Stanford and the experience with Dr. Chang, but I am so glad I got the opportunity to learn so much. I would definitely recommend this Princeternship to students interested in psychology, neuroscience, or medicine. My time at Stanford affirmed my interest in helping those around me and exploring medical school. I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Chang for the opportunity to learn more about his area of expertise, his career, and his path to success. It was an invaluable experience for which I will always be appreciative.

By Arielle Dreher Herald Staff
Monroe and Snohomish have been selected to receive $445,000 of $3.4 million in federal funds recommended for five transportation projects coming up in the next year.
The two projects are valuable to the two Snohomish County cities, which are in need of wider lanes and a roundabout.
The money is being allocated by the Puget Sound Regional Council, a planning agency through which federal transportation grants are distributed.
The agency has recommended $199,000 go toward widening 30th Street in Snohomish. This project includes widening 56th Street as well to create new lanes, improve traffic flow and offer better space for pedestrians and bicycles. The council is also recommending that $246,000 be spent on the design of a roundabout at Monroe's Main Street Gateway.
The PSRC is seeking public opinion on the projects through Aug. 9. The final decisions on projects and funding will be made in September by the group's executive board. Five more projects are in line if additional funds become available. One of these projects includes a Sultan Basin sidewalk that needs to be designed and constructed, with an estimated price tag of $289,000.
These projects are a part of the PSRC's Rural Town Centers and Corridors Program.
To comment on a project, send a written response to Puget Sound Regional Council, Attention: Jeff Storrar, 1011 Western Avenue, Suite 500. Seattle, WA 98104 or email email@example.com.

It's been a year since the third round of emissions controls for diesel engines took effect. After the first two rounds, unintended consequences created problems for truck users, first with higher than expected under-hood temperatures from exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), then from high fuel consumption cleaning out diesel particulate filters (DPF).
The promise of 2010 pollution control strategies is that proven technologies have eliminated potential problems, and the 2010 engines should be problem-free. But after one year of service, what is the reality?
Clearing the air
Emission control technologies have virtually eliminated particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from diesel exhaust. January 2007 restrictions on PM brought us DPFs, and restrictions on NOx increased the use of EGR. To make DPFs work, sulfur in diesel was limited to 15 ppm.
Further NOx restrictions in January 2010 resulted in two different technologies. International's MaxxForce engines use Advanced EGR and credits from the EPA to provide an In-Cylinder Solution that meets EPA requirements. All other on-highway engine manufacturers chose selective catalytic reduction (SCR), a chemical exhaust after-treatment using urea injection to neutralize NOx.
SCR has been used for years in Europe so a great deal of development and field experience went into making our 2010 SCR engines virtually foolproof.
Performance in practice
The addition of SCR is far less a problem for vocational fleets than for long-haul truckers. Mixers can return to plants with a ready supply of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), the urea solution that creates the reaction with NOx.
Maintenance personnel can fill DEF tanks. Gauges and alert lamps warn when DEF is getting low, and reduce the risk of running out of DEF, having the engine de-rate, and eventually shut down. So for 2010, problems are minimal.
But in the past year, vocational fleets have reported difficulties with the 2007 technology. All 2007 diesels use ceramic porous-wall DPFs to capture solids. Exhaust with soot from combustion and ash from motor oil additives build in the filter's cells, while the gaseous exhaust permeates the walls on its way to the tailpipe.
Engines that run continually at peak temperatures automatically regenerate, sometimes several times daily. Given the stop-and-go duties of concrete mixers and trucks, though, engine temperatures are rarely high enough to trigger regeneration. To avoid loss of power and eventual shut down, the operator must start a manual regeneration that can take up to an hour.
When soot builds in the cells and restricts exhaust flow, a regeneration process clears the filter by burning the soot. The process injects diesel fuel into the exhaust, and it passes over a diesel oxidation catalyst. The catalyst raises the exhaust temperature above 1100 ° F, burning off the soot.
A small amount of ash remains after the regeneration process, which builds up over time and must be cleaned. The process involves removing the DPF and cleaning out accumulated ash with heat, vibration, and compressed air.
DPF cleaning can be outsourced or done with purchased equipment. Prices vary for cleaning machines, but the one year break-even point to clean the filters in-house is generally one filter per day, or about 250 medium- and heavy-duty trucks 2007 or newer in the fleet. Payback becomes less than one year. Light-duty diesels' DPFs are often welded in place and are good for the expected life of the truck.
Ceramic filters can easily crack, when handled outside their canisters. Some fleets have reported up to 15% cracked filters. Soot build-up on exhaust pipes is a sign of a crack.
My report card on the 2010 engines: once you get past the initial price of SCR — as much as $9000 for some trucks — they're not much different from the 2007 models. The DPF equipment on the 2007s seems to need the most maintenance.

Greener fleets are coming
Just as Tier 4 engines were being delivered to construction fleets, there was news that more restrictions were coming. In late October 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation announced the first national standards to reduce greenhouse gas and improve fuel efficiency of heavy-duty trucks. The goal is to reduce emissions by about 250 million metric tons and save 500 million barrels of oil over the lives of vehicles produced in the program's first five years.
To update fleet owners on these developments, key partners from CALSTART, America's leading clean transportation consortium, will discuss some of the new and upcoming vehicle and equipment technologies at a special session at World of Concrete.
The 90-minute seminar includes presentations on current product offerings, future technology developments, and regulatory issues that affect the development and deployment of clean, advanced technology vehicles. Topics will include hybrid technology, energy storage configurations, infrastructure needs, and market strategies. This session will also cover effects of the EPA/DOT new fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas standards. For details, visit www.worldofconcrete.com.

Effect of Environment after Giving Birth
Does the living environment/surrounding of a woman after giving birth has an effect to cause post natal depression?
24th April 2014 06:51 AM #2
Dear milkandboo,
Thank you for your question.
Yes it can. A difficult, stressful or dangerous living environment increases the likelihood that a woman will experience post natal depression. Post natal depression is very common anyway (around 1 in 5 women who have had children will suffer from it). There is so much to get used to after having a baby and a woman's hormone levels will also be changing; if you add into this a less than ideal living environment then post natal depression is more likely.
There is never anything to be ashamed of when you have postnatal depression. What is important is to start talking to those around you about it and to ask for help from your doctor or midwife.
There are some more links about postnatal depression here.
Thinking of you,

Set in the remote, imaginary town of Fingerbone, Idaho, it presents the precarious and eccentric lives of three generations of Foster family women. Housekeeping chronicles the deaths, abandonments, and insecurities that beset the Fosters so vividly that it is often heartbreaking, but the novel also radiates a mysterious joy and tender humor commensurate with Ruth's childlike capacity for the sheer wonder of being alive.

It's almost like the article author read the first half of the multi-page Sherdog thread slagging Marc's reffing off without getting to the bit where everyone realises that the the stand-up(s) the poster was referring to were the other referee and not Marc at all.
I've heard this criticism a few times about Marc's reffing on Saturday night and not a single person has been able to identify the bad call without mistaking Marc for the other ref.
Sloppy journalism. A big shame from mmafighting.com too. I expect better of them.

i did some sniffing around on this.
it looks like 'wl' or 'ndiswrapper' are your only options for the 4313 right now, but you can forget about monitor mode altogether with those....
sorry man.
After 5 hours of search>try>config>fail>clean , I feel lost!
BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4727] chip is picked up by "wl" driver by default. it works well for normal usage, but rfmon/injection is NOT possible with this driver on this chipset.
Possible solution could be using b43 driver module instead, which I tried almost any trick/method on internet for that. b43 successfully loads, but it`s not picking up the chip and so no interface. no result with iwconfig , and no luck with trying aliases.
What I've tried with no success:
-Modifying module blacklists, trying to keep wl from loading
-completely removing wl, and installing b43 revisions.
-based on broadcom & linux kernel docs, broadcom-wl-18.104.22.168 should work, but it does not.
-no success even with broadcom-wl-188.8.131.52
-No success with recompiling broadcom driver from scratch and inserting module.
-No success on trying above tests on a clean Ubuntu Maveric (10.10)
-No success on multiple recent kernel versions
-No success on using pre-compiled ubuntu driverts for installed kernels
-- firmware-b43-lpphy-installer from ubuntu repository seems to be the one, but prior installation it checks the chip version and stop if it`s anything but bcm4312. 4313 is also a LP PHY chip, but is not supported by this package.
**I've another bcm4312 card that works flawlessly in both backtrack and clean Maveric, as it`s picked up by b43 driver, NOT damned wl .
&-} any comments are welcome... !
i did some sniffing around on this.
it looks like 'wl' or 'ndiswrapper' are your only options for the 4313 right now, but you can forget about monitor mode altogether with those....
broadcom is the suck and that is no surprise.
sorry man.
you can try this :
I have this same card "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4727] (rev 01)" on my laptop, and was able to get it working under Ubuntu 10.10 using an early version of the brcm80211 driver (see brcm80211 - Linux Wireless).
Primarily I folllowed the advice of "foutrelis" on another forum (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=849519).
To sum that up for Ubuntu, I did:Originally Posted by foutrelis
1) download the brcm80211 driver from git (see above)
2) download the kernel headers:
[sudo apt-get install kernel-package]
3) extract the drivers and fix the makefile to remove the if-statement and replace the old paths to reflect your new folder structure (the above Makefile.patch didn't work for me, $PWD was giving random build errors until I replaced it with the full driver source directory)
4) build the driver
[sudo make]
5) install the driver, making sure mac80211 is running first or you'll get errors
[sudo modprobe mac80211 && sudo insmod brcm80211.ko]
Hopefully that works.
Finally I found a way to get it work, for my chipset. ( bcm4313 ).
I've used hints from below instruction :
[all variants] New brcm80211 driver guide for Broadcom wireless cards - Ubuntu Forums
Came here to mark the thread as solved, and noticed about xytrix mentioning same BRCM80211.
Thank you xytrix anyway for replaying.
I confirm that both RFMON and injection is working smoothly,
I've a wired problem here, automatic channel hopping not working with airodump.
going to play with it and update here.
The brcm80211 driver is currently incomplete, so if you try to run airodump/aireplay you'll see that it's stuck in channel -1.
If you look into one of the source code files, the switch handler for monitor mode is left blank. I tried adapting the code from channel-negative-one-maxim.patch (works with compat driver) into the source code and recompiled it, but it didn't help. You're welcome to try it too.
I've been working on this issue on and off for about two months now. It seems like I just have to wait for brcm80211 to get better as time goes on.
Airodump to be specific, switch channels and detect traffic as expected,
But it`s not the case for me in Aireplay , and I guess it was cus of unpatched kernel code I was running on , not the brcm80211 itself?
I cant recall if current brcm80211 supports injection nor if aireplay attacks promised to work on this driver.
Hope other people get their hands dirty too, and report their test results here.
The latest build of the brcm80211 driver no longer has the channel -1 bug. Hooray!
Scratch that. After some testing, I found that the new drivers only made "Fixed channel: -1" disappear in airmon-ng. The bug is still present in aireplay-ng: "mon0 is on channel -1, but hte AP uses channel 5"
Been working at it all night. I fixed the channel -1 problem after downloading the latest compat source files and applying Maxim's patch, then recompiling the whole thing. Now I'm simply left with the problem of not being able to capture data packets. My airmon-ng shows 0 under the #Data column for all APs all the time. My aireplay-ng attacks can all be run, but they get stuck on forever reading packets...
Last edited by sickness; 12-07-2010 at 11:59 AM.
Same problem with aireplay annoyed me before.
Note & to entire thread :
I've recompiled and installed a fresh brcm80211 git today (13 dec) and card
performance and sensitivity (better probe and detection of networks) seems have
been improved.
Ok, Seems now I`m stuck in situation where Lupius is at. No data-packets in RFMON.
Just in case others have problem making their environment work, here`s quick comment on how to make
things work, till this stage
1-Get latest brcm80211 driver from git. No need to use git client and get entire repository. you can get just brcm80211 snapshot by visiting http://2.gp/c4nb and get only the latest brcm80211 snapshot.
2-Apply changes to Makefile in snapshot, as mentioned here http://2.gp/c4ne and follow other steps described there for building and loading brcm80211 . After this, your card will be able to pass RFMON and injection test. but the annoying "-1" channel in aireplay-ng is still there.
3-Get latest compat-wireless driver from http://2.gp/c4nf
4-Apply http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/chann...ne-maxim.patch to compat-wireless , build and install patched drivers. This will fix the "-1" channel bug, and aireplay-ng will now be able to work as expected.

UPLAND - San Bernardino County sheriff's detectives were investigating an officer-involved shooting that left one man wounded.
An Upland police officer shot the man shortly after 8 p.m. Friday during a pursuit.
Officers had responded to the skate park at Upland Memorial Park on San Bernardino Road near 13th Avenue after receiving reports of shots fired in the area, according to officers.
Officers came upon a man they believed may have been involved in the incident, according to reports.
As they approached, the man reportedly raised a handgun and pointed it at the officers, authorities said.
At least one officer fired at the man, striking and wounding him, according to authorities.
The man ran a short distance until he collapsed in the parking lot of a small strip mall at San Bernardino Road and Foothill Boulevard.
The wounded man was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton. He was set to be arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a police officer, police said.
Police on Monday refused to comment on the case or if any arrests were made. The officers said sheriff's officials were investigating.
But sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said the department's detectives were only investigating the officer-involved shooting.
It wasn't clear what sparked the initial gunfire.
Nearby residents commented that the park has been a hotbed of illegal activity for some time, attracting drug dealers and addicts.

It was business as usual for Dwight Howard before the Lakers played the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night at Staples Center.
For Howard, that meant a crowd of reporters around him, laughter, storytelling, observations about life and conversation that ranged from video games, Twitter, the absurdity of his alleged fight with Kobe Bryant to the core strength of hockey players.
And everything and anything in between.
It was a slice of Howard the public rarely sees or hears about, mostly because these pre-game, locker-side visits are typically informal and non-basketball related.
Basically it's just an entertaining, good-natured Howard holding court with whoever decides to drop by and letting them into his world for a little while.
As Howard engaged the crowd - and you'd be surprised how many questions he asked as opposed to the other way around - it dawned on me this certainly wasn't the behavior of a guy who didn't enjoy his new surroundings or teammates.
Nor did he seem like a guy who recently came to blows with Bryant, his superstar teammate, or someone worried that his shoulder injury was significant enough to keep him on the sideline much longer.
Finally, he wasn't acting like someone who was ready to quit on a Lakers' season that's gone downhill faster than a gold medal Olympic skier.
They took a five-game losing streak into Friday's game against the Thunder, and considering the quality of the opponent and the absence of Howard, Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill, the chances of them winning were about as good as the USC football team beginning next season No. 1 in the country.
Point being, if you're expecting a Howard with one foot still in L.A. and the other already stepping out of town as a free agent this summer, you might be surprised.
Despite how badly the Lakers have played, the injury problems, the struggles to develop team chemistry and the endless drama that comes along with playing for the Lakers, Howard seems like a pretty content guy.
Either that, or he's a really good actor.
With all due respect to Howard, having seen some of his acting efforts, I'm comfortable saying he isn't putting up a front.
Fact is, despite the rocky start, he seems fine with being here, he gets along with his teammates, and he and Bryant are on good terms.
As he put it Friday, Bryant's been a friend for more than five years and nothing that's happened since becoming teammates changes that.
Funny thing is, no matter how much he tries to get that message across the more push-back he seems to get.
The "fight" with Bryant is a great example.
Howard insists it never happened, citing all sorts of counter evidence against an altercation - including the lack of disciplinary response from the Lakers and how, had he truly gone after Bryant, is there really anyone stout enough to actually stop him from accomplishing his objective?
Considering Howard is the biggest, strongest, baddest dude in the Lakers' locker room, it's a point well-taken.
"It didn't happen!" Howard declared adamantly.
Problem is, people believe what they want. And for every Howard denial there is a non-believer not buying it.
It didn't matter that he tweeted a photo of himself and Bryant mocking their supposed fight, with a grinning Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni in the middle of his two stars pretending to separate them.
It doesn't matter that he keeps saying nothing happened and that he and Bryant are on good terms.
When people want to believe something, they believe it.
Howard has been around long enough to understand that game - not that it doesn't bug him how some people say and write whatever they please.
He wondered Friday if there were laws against printing flat-out lies, or why someone didn't have the courtesy to at least ask him before running with the story if it actually happened.
Some of the old-timers got a bit of a chuckle out of that, understanding the rules we were groomed under but recognizing the advent of the internet and social media and 24-hour news cycles has resulted in the deterioration of proper protocol by some in our business.
Howard mostly laughed it off, the power of his positive demeanor in full effect as usual.
It's the same optimistic stance he's taken to deal with the Lakers' struggles.
Despite it all, he seems like a happy dude.
It doesn't mean he doesn't care; it's just that he copes with a smile.
Maybe it's all an act. Maybe Howard is hiding a bitter discontent and it'll all spill out when he bolts the Lakers as a free agent.
But I doubt it.

The BSW Program at West Chester University defines generalist practice as practice that is grounded in a liberal arts foundation upon which a generic and integrated social work knowledge base is developed, and informed by social work values. From this grounding, generalist practitioners utilize a professional problem solving process to engage, assess, broker services, advocate, counsel, educate, and organize with and on behalf of clients and client systems. Generalist practitioners work with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations in a variety of social work and host settings. They view clients and client systems from a strengths perspective in order to recognize, support, and build upon the uniqueness of all groups of people as well as the innate capabilities of all human beings. Finally, generalist practitioners evaluate service outcomes in order to continually improve the provision and quality of services most appropriate to client needs. Generalist social work practice is guided by the NASW Code of Ethics and is committed to improving the well-being of individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations and furthering the goals of human rights and social justice in a global society.

Fox News reporter relayed dubious Justice Department assertion that recent U.S. attorney firings all based on "performance-related issues"
Catherine Herridge uncritically repeated an assertion by Justice Department officials that seven U.S. attorneys were fired recently because of "performance-related issues." But in testimony before a Senate committee, Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty conceded that performance played no role in at least one of those cases. Moreover, at least five reportedly received positive job reviews before being fired.
On the February 15 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Fox News national correspondent Catherine Herridge uncritically reported the assertion by Justice Department officials that "the decision to force out" seven U.S. attorneys recently "was based on, quote, 'performance-related issues.' " But contrary to the Justice Department's assertion, Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty has conceded that performance played no role in at least one of those cases: the forced resignation [1] of H.E. "Bud" Cummins III as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Moreover, the Justice Department has provided no evidence publicly backing up the claim of "performance-related issues," and, according to a February 14 McClatchy Newspapers article [2], "at least five of [the U.S. attorneys who were fired] received positive job evaluations before they were ordered to step down."
Cummins was replaced [3] by J. Timothy Griffin [4], a former research director [5] for the Republican National Committee and White House senior adviser Karl Rove. During a February 6 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on matter, McNulty said that regarding the Cummins replacement, "the fact is that there was a change made there that was not connected to, as was said, the performance of the incumbent, but more related to the opportunity to provide a fresh start with a new person in that position."
According to a February 16 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette article [6] noted [7] by the weblog TPMMuckraker.com, Griffin, currently serving as the interim U.S. attorney, has decided that he "no longer wants the job permanently" and will not submit his name for Senate confirmation. Under a provision [8] in the 2006 renewal of the USA Patriot Act, interim U.S. attorneys can remain in office until the Senate confirms a replacement. Before this provision was enacted, the attorney general could appoint an interim U.S. attorney who could remain [9] in office for up to 120 days, after which the local federal district court could appoint someone to serve until a permanent successor was confirmed. The provision was reportedly added [10] by the office of then-Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA), who said at the February 6 Judiciary Committee hearing that a member of his staff had inserted the provision without his knowledge. On February 15, Sen. John Kyl (R-AZ) blocked [11] Democratic efforts to pass legislation that would reverse the provision's changes.
A February 4 Washington Post article [12] reported that "Justice Department officials ... have suggested that each of the recently dismissed prosecutors had performance problems" but that "there is also evidence that broader political forces are at work. One administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in discussing personnel issues, said the spate of firings was the result of 'pressure from people who make personnel decisions outside of Justice who wanted to make some things happen in these places.' "
A February 8 Seattle Times article reported [13] that one of the fired U.S. attorneys, John McKay, of the Western District of Washington, received a "glowing performance review" from the Justice Department in his most recent review, seven months before he was forced out. " 'McKay is an effective, well-regarded and capable leader of the [U.S. attorney's office] and the District's law enforcement community,' the team of 27 Justice Department officials concluded, according to a copy of their final report obtained by The Seattle Times."
From McNulty's testimony during the February 6 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in response to questioning from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI):
WHITEHOUSE: Mr. McNulty, welcome. You're clearly a very wonderful and impressive man. But it strikes me that your suggestion that there is a clear factual record about what happened and that this was just turnover are both just plain wrong.
I start on the clear factual record part with the suggestion that has been made to The Washington Post, that the attorney general also made to us, and I'm quoting from the Post article on Sunday: "Each of the recently dismissed prosecutors had performance problems," which does not jibe with the statement of Mr. Cummins from Arkansas that he was told there was nothing wrong with his performance, but that officials in Washington wanted to give the job to another GOP loyalist. So right from the very get-go we start with something that is clearly not a clear factual record of what took place; in fact, there's -- on the very basic question of what the motivation was for these, we're getting two very distinct and irreconcilable stories.
McNULTY: Senator --
WHITEHOUSE: And I don't think that, if it's true, that as The Washington Post reported, six of the prosecutors received calls notifying them of their firings on a single day. The suggestion that this is just ordinary turnover doesn't seem to pass the laugh test* [14], really. Could you respond to those two observations?
McNULTY: Yes, sir. Thank you.
Senator, first of all, with regard to Arkansas and what happened there and any other efforts to seek the resignation of U.S. attorneys, these have been lumped together, but they really ought not to be. And we'll talk about the Arkansas situation, as Senator [Mark] Pryor [D-AR] has laid it out.
And the fact is that there was a change made there that was not connected to, as was said, the performance of the incumbent, but more related to the opportunity to provide a fresh start with a new person in that position.
With regard to the other positions, however --
WHITEHOUSE: But why would you need a fresh start if the first person was doing a perfectly good job?
McNULTY: Well, again, in the discretion of the department, individuals in the position of U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. And because turnover -- and that's the only way of going to your second question. I was referring to turnover -- because turnover is a common thing is U.S. attorneys offices --
WHITEHOUSE: I know. I turned over myself as a U.S. attorney.
McNULTY: -- bringing in someone does not create a disruption that is going to be hazardous to the office. And it does, again, provide some benefits.
SEN. CHARLES SCHUMER (D-NY): Senator Specter wanted to say a brief word before Senator [Dianne] Feinstein [D-CA] left, and then we'll go to Senator [Jeff] Sessions [R-AL].
SPECTER: Well, I just wanted to comment to Senator Feinstein that I thank her for her work on this issue. I had said before you arrived in my opening statement that I did not know of the change in the Patriot Act until you called it to my attention on the floor. And I said to you at that time, "This is news to me, but I'll check it out." And then checked it out with Mike O'Neill, who advised that Brett Tolman, a senior staff member, had gotten the request from the Department of Justice because of a situation in South Dakota where a judge made an appointment which was not in accordance with the statute. And there -- got an issue arising with other courts questioning the separation of powers. But when you and I have discussed it further and -- continuously, including yesterday, we came to the conclusion that we would send it back to the former statute, which I think will accommodate the purpose of this.
FEINSTEIN: Thank you very much. Thank you.
According to a February 15 Associated Press article [15], McNulty privately briefed Sens. Schumer, Specter, Kyl, and Patty Murray (D-WA) on the firings.
From the February 15 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
HERRIDGE: On the Senate floor, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee claimed the dismissals of seven U.S. attorneys smacked of Republican cronyism. And he pointed specifically to the case of a U.S. attorney in Arkansas.
SEN. PATRICK LEAHY (D-VT): The attorney general removed respected U.S. attorney Bud Cummins and replaced him with the interim appointment of Tim Griffin, who'd been a political operative for Karl Rove. Come on. If the Clinton administration had done something like that in Arkansas during their time, we'd have banner headlines.
HERRIDGE: Cummins is one of seven U.S. attorneys who recently lost their jobs. The list of others includes Carol Lam, based in San Diego, who brought the successful bribery and corruption prosecution against former Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham. Federal prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the president. They can be fired for any reason.
Officials at the Department of Justice say the decision to force out these prosecutors was based on, quote, "performance-related issues." That explanation doesn't satisfy some Democrats, who demanded a briefing this week from the Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty.
Senator Chuck Schumer wants to review the performance reports for the U.S. attorneys in question, and he's threatening to subpoena the documents if necessary.
SCHUMER: Paul McNulty, who, you know, we don't have any problem with personally, he suggested that he didn't want to give them to us because people are asked to evaluate the U.S. attorney. We said simply redact the name, and you'll protect that person, and show them to us.
HERRIDGE: Schumer and other Democrats want to change a section of the USA Patriot Act that currently allows the administration to fire and replace federal prosecutors without going through Senate confirmation. The controversial provision was passed last year with overwhelming bipartisan support. Senate Democrats, led by California's Dianne Feinstein, want to bring a bill to the floor that would impose a 120-day deadline on the amount of time a replacement can serve without confirmation.

best kind of meat.
pickles and meat.
what a duo.
Wow this thread ending up failing so hard haha
Fuck I jsut had three breakfeast jacks from jack in the box
So goood
i was vegetarian for a while and i've done it off and on quite a bit..
fuck PETA tho. they put more animals to sleep than they help.
a lot of fastfood places are getting more and more into healthy lifestyles and more free range animals...
i still don't like fastfood anyways.
and if you like organic... go kill animals and clean them up yourself.
im all for animals living healthy happy lives, but i expect any creater on earth (including people) to lay down thur life for my lunch
2. Their lame scare tactics will never ever make me stop eating meat, which is in my opinion the best, the most tasty food it's possible to eat.
Oh, and animals can't realize that they aren't "breathing fresh air, feeling the breeze on their fur, while proudly watching their children play in the sunset, with a tear on their cheeks, thinking about the magnificence and the beauty of life." It's not possible, their brains aren't advanced enough to think about death, the significance of life, or the future.
TL;DR: Fuck you hippies, meat's awesome.
You buff one, I do three more.
lol at the bunnys thought it was fish when i first saw it
they say that meatand cheese diets causes obesity... but that's because most people do not have a real well balanced diet. vegetables and fruits are important part of nutrition.
fuck that wheats most imprtant. learned that shit in the 1st grade
food pryamid nigguhs
