A discussion about this on another forum got me thinking. Hypothetically, if the physiological effects of alcohol were not present, would people still enjoy drinking alcoholic beverages? Surely yes, now that we've been conditioned to like it. But I wonder if we found a sample of people raised in a non-alcohol-philic society (assuming there is one), and presented them with a variety of alcoholic beverages, they would enjoy any of them. Whatever they decide, is it despite the taste of alcohol, or because of it?
My guess is they wouldn't enjoy it. Alcohol is poison to us (and most other organisms as far as I know), right? So it would be only natural for us to find the taste offensive.
But on the other hand, fermented beverages also last because of that very same reason. And many people unknowingly took advantage of that fact to preserve beverages - wine, beer, etc. So maybe over the millennia of surviving on alcohol, we (or certain populations) have grown a penchant for it?
I've always had the theory that the first person to try alcohol was trying to commit suicide. He got drunk and changed his mind.
Interesting, very interesting
LOL at NASCAR
But I think you are exactly backwards on preservation vs effects. Before we (proto-humans) knew or even tried any preservation we got drunk and tried other psychoactive substances. Some people believe this "drug" usage helped push the evolution of our conscience, with some science to back it up.
The first "alcohol use" was probably a semi-rotted/ distilled fruit eaten by accident and then given to the Shaman- as where all the good, psychoactive edibles, smokables- for ritual use.
Imagine the first magic mushroom- found on a cow turd- Holy Shit- Sacred Cow.
The first Hemp/Cannabis thrown on a campfire- and NO S'mores.
We've been getting high and drunk LONG before any preserving effects where known- and actual organized fermenting, distilling, and even NASCAR didn't come till much later.
Alcohol in enough concentration to preserve anything probably came along with the invention of distillation. Salt and sugar (yes, sugar) functioned as preservatives long before alcohol performed that function.
The alcohol levels in beer and wine can't even prevent THEM from spoiling, which is why it's very important when making beer and alcohol to keep fruit/wine/vinegar flies away from the product.
do remember, while alcohol is poison to your liver, it also has myriad verifiable salutary effects as well, protecting the heart from disease and the brain from dementia in regular and moderate quantities. we evolved to enjoy things which are good for us, so while in large quantities alcohol makes us feel vile, in smaller doses it is not unreasonable to assume that humans genuinely enjoy the flavor of it.
There were certain alcoholic beverages that I genuinely enjoyed for their taste. But the taste was only secondary to the effects that the alcohol produced.
I fully agree with what you are saying. I can stand it but I do not like it either! I'm drinking for social reasons only.

As some others have said before, the yellow pit stains are caused by aluminum in antiperspirants. You'll want to look into alternatives -- personally, I simply use deodorant. I actually find myself sweating less these days (odd, I know) and I don't have to live with the yellow stains on my white shirts. There's a decent article on it here.

When thinking of what to make, my sister recommended an egg bake, or quiche, or something of the sort. My mom has given us a terrific crust recipe that go along with her tarts, but it worked great as a whole pie too.
They were simple to make, and delicious. I'll put the recipe at the bottom if you're interested.
My egg bake helper. |
There was cooking decorating! There was a choice of A, !, or ninja cookies to frosting. Jessica was a great help in getting some naked cookies dressed up. |
Dan, Greg, and Nikki |
Meryl, Crissy, Trish, Kristy, and Mike |
Ryan, Greg, Audrey, Jonathan, and Meryl |
These little munchkins were so much fun. Oscar, Farrah, and Harper are all piled up on the chair in Harper's room for this shot (courtesy of Meryl!) |
Mike and the kids - notice Farrah in action mode |
Crissy and Trish came up from Springfield! Woot! |
There were some others that came a bit later so they aren't pictured, but we all had a great time! Thanks everyone from coming to celebrate the beginning of my next 30 years!
Other food items that were served:
Pasta salad
white chocolate dipped pretzels
popcorn with chocolate chips
cheese and crackers
my dad's dried apples
my dad's deer jerky
The egg bake recipe:
Crust (makes two 9 inch pie pans)
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 1 stick unsalted butter - softened
- 4 Tbl spoons of vegetable shorting (or a second stick of butter)
- 2 cups flour
Filling (for two)
- 9 eggs
- 1/8 cup half & half
- 1/2 red pepper, small chop
- 1/2 green pepper, small chop
- 1/2 yellow pepper, small chop
- 1/4 medium red onion, fine to small chop
- 1 potato, peeled and cubed (*NOTE - I baked my potato the day before to insure it would be tender in the egg bake. I cooked in my small toaster oven for 1 hr at 350 degrees, covered in aluminum foil.)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 strips bacon, cooked (I only put bacon on one pie, double if you want it on both)
- 1 tsp thyme (rosemary would be good, too)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Ramano cheese for top
Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Can be served at room temperature.

Does anyone have an email or contact I can use to talk about press passes? Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have an email or contact I can use to talk about press passes? Thanks in advance.
In previous years, the contact has been email@example.com. I would assume that it is remaining the same for this year.
Has anyone heard back about press requests? I've been credentialed before, but haven't gotten a response this year. Just wondering if they're swamped and slowly replying.
Yeah same, no response yet. I asked last year and I couldn't get a photo pass because they "are reserved for photographers on special assignments" which is bullshit since I don't even know how many people I saw with their photo wristbands and point and shoot cameras standing at the front of the stage.
Last year and the year before, one of the prizes for Carpoolchella were photo passes. Some of the people you saw with point and shoots could have been them. One of them could have been me. i use both (P&S and SLR). i have also come across the writer with no photographer who takes their own pics with a P&S.
Do you need to be working for any special company to get a press pass or can any photographer get one? When I e-mailed them last year they said all the spots were taken up for photo press passes.
Also, if any of you have gotten press passes, where do you keep your SLR/Charge it? I know its 90+ degrees and was wondering how you keep your camera from being damaged from the heat.
Even if I don't get a press pass I want to bring my SLR but am worried the heat will fuck it up.
Lots and lots of shade. Same for your spare batteries. Give them a rest wrapped up in something for insulation when not in use.
Also, more often than not*, without a Pass they won't let you take a camera with a detachable lens in as that is considered "professional", ie
* actually now that I think about the past few years, it's more like a 50/50 shot. It just depends on the security person who checks your stuff out as you enter.Originally Posted by FAQ
I know the Dim Mak guys are having a problem getting their stuff, and a lot of people who normally get in w/o a problem are having to jump through hoops and are not getting contacted back, etc.
DAFT PUNK... Ronald Jenkees! The Prodigy! Faithless! Groove Armada Live! Underworld! London Elektricity! (live set) Future Sound of London! DJ Yoda (DVJ Set!) Dillinja and Lemon D w/ the Valve Soundsystem, Ed Solo & Deekline! Dizzee Rascal!
They let me in no questions asked last year with my camera, and my camera looks like this:
Yeah last year on the first day the guy seemingly didn't know much english and panicked so the supervisor came over and said I couldn't bring it. I was carrying the body and had the lens wrapped in a shirt in my bag. I went to the end of a different line, put on the lens and got in with an odd look from the lady. This year I wanna use a 50 mm instead of the big 18-105. I dunno yet I am gonna try and Macgyver a way to get all the stuff in.
The chances of McGyvering anything in is going to be difficult this year. I live in the area and the talk about security is already heating up. You need to know that many of the 'security' there last year were guys I knew that volunteered so that they could see the show and get paid. They weren't trained nor official. This year there are NO volunteers...it's all paid trained staff.
Seems dumb to try to sneek a big camera in when once they catch you you'll have to walk all the way back to your car or tent then get in line again...or in the event you do sneek it in and the security inside see's you and forces you out.
use your head...
I haven't received the paperwork yet for press either. I'm not too worried though. The festival isn't till April so there's still time. Also, correct, you need a photo pass to get your SLR in legit. Press people have an area where they can drink cold water, shade and recharge whatever they brought with them to cover the festival. Space is limited though so it helps if you've covered the fest before or affiliated with a known publication. Not many freelance photographers/writers get in with press passes I assume.
Yeah, I remember hearing from them earlier in the year about paperwork, but am hoping that they're just swamped and still playing catch-up.
Still waiting...i'm getting anxious. If I get confirmed I still need to find a place to stay.
Where's Underworld and Mew? Make it happen GV.
I booked hotel rooms in August for $1 at Motel 6. Just as insurance. Housing will be just as hard as tickets. Good luck either way. Maybe crash at a friend's tent?
Friday was the deadline to turn in your press application. I hope you didn't forget!
I got mine on Thursday...
From my publication.
I still remember the first time I met you. I was expecting pink hair.
I got mine today. Or notification, that is. I'll pick them up at willcall.
Well, since I AM a writer & photographer for this publication, it would make sense if they submitted me as a writer/photographer, right?
And yeah, it was just a heads up. Details have yet to be released, but since I did this last year for the same publication I know what to expect.

President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, will have plenty of ammunition to attack each other with when they hold their first debate tonight, this one on domestic policy. But when the two men who want to lead the world's most powerful nation take the stage for their 90-minute exchange at the University of Denver at 9, we urge that they also find time to lay out their visions of where they will take the country in the next four years.
For President Obama he needs to make the case for how he can get Washington moving again and why voters should not expect more of the same political gridlock they have witnessed the past four years. An admission that he shares some of the blame for the political stalemate could go a long way in reassuring voters that things might change.
Mr. Romney, on the other hand, could benefit by resurrecting a bit of the old, moderate Romney, the guy once elected in Massachusetts and who managed to reach compromises with a Democratic legislature. Those undecided voters he hopes to win will be more accepting of a Mr. Romney who hints on a willingness to budge on tax policy (i.e. increases for the wealthy), rather than the unreasonable Mr. Romney who, at a Republican primary debate, said he would not agree to a ratio of $1 in tax increases to get $10 in spending cuts.
Surprise us, someone.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village
The lovely illustration definitely makes the difference in the website launched by Nintendo to promote the videogame for DS "Professor Layton and the Curious Village". Developed by Pop the offers an immersive experience for kids who want to discover the game and adults that still enjoy cartoon animations.
Since I'm not very familiar with the DS platform I appreciated the game demo that simulates the gameplay as well as the player's action to interact with the interface.

" Booked a week away which ended up being a week and a half due to the fantastic weather and city but more because I didn't want to leave this amazing group of friends I've now made. The hostel is in a cool part of the city being close to the new shopping mall and perfect for the metro to get around the city quickly. The staff is excellent especially Fernanda Natalee and Fran who will make sure that you have a great time on the pub crawl every night. thank you so much Guys will be back. Scotland. "

Utter cowardace. The TPP process is made up of terrified children. I'm thinking we should approach them with disgust and contempt. The negotiators are so afraid of the will of the people they represent that they know if they're exposed they'll be strung up in the political and social consciousness.
If they really believe that they are representing the people's interests they wouldn't display such vile acts of utter weakness.
If their constituents understood they were being sold down the river, the TPP process would never have progressed this far.

Cultural Geography:
Southern Indiana and southern Ohio have more in common with the south than the north. They were largely settled by Virginians in the first half of the 1800s. West Virginia was part of Virginia till the Civil War. Settlers came west from northern VA (now WV) or north from KY (which was actually the westernmost county of VA till the 1780s). | |

Cultural Geography:
Just draw a line straight west from the border between PA and (at one time) VA. That's basically your north-south line in culture, dialect, etc. North of that is mainly called "extended New England". Virginia and Massachsetts were the two biggest colonies. Directly and indirectly, VA populated the south, and N.E. populated the north. Hence the Civil War. | |

Cultural Geography:
PA is a special case, populated in the 1680s ff. by Quakers and everyone Penn could recruit (Germans, Moravians, Scotch-Irish as small farmers in the back country, etc.) NY, NJ, and PA are called "middle colonies." NY has more links with New England than PA does. The interior of PA was settled heavily by Sotch Irish subsistence farmers who went northwest around the Appalachians, and then west and southwest on the west side of the Appalachians. If you set aside the east-coast city Philly, then PA is more like southern Ohio than it is a northern state. That's why Ohio and PA are still swing states in national elections. | |

Blair: Success Possible in Mideast Talks; Military Must Remain Option With Iran
With direct talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas set to continue, Margaret Warner spoke with former U.K. Prime Minister and current Middle East envoy Tony Blair Tuesday about the meetings' prospects for success.
Blair said he agrees with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the talks could be a last chance for a negotiated two-state solution, saying:
"I can't see how if you drag this out for several more years it's going to get any better, and I can easily see how it could get a lot worse."
Blair also discussed the dilemma of a nuclear Iran, saying that world leaders had to keep the military option "on the table" to avert that possibility.
For the rest of Margaret Warner's interview with Tony Blair, tune in to Tuesday's NewsHour.

Help for Parents of Troubled Teens
Dealing with Anger, Violence, Delinquency, and Other Teen Behavior Problems
Parenting a teenager is never easy, but when your teen is violent, depressed, abusing alcohol or drugs, or engaging in other reckless behaviors, it can seem overwhelming. You may feel exhausted from lying awake at night worrying about where your child is, who he or she is with, and what they're doing. You may despair over failed attempts to communicate, the endless fights, and the open defiance. Or you may live in fear of your teen's violent mood swings and explosive anger. While parenting a troubled teen can often seem like an impossible task, there are steps you can take to ease the stress you and your teen feel. This can significantly reduce the chaos at home and help your teen transition into a happier, more successful young adult.What you can do
- Invest in focused face-to-face time with your teenager each day
- Listen without judging or giving advice
- Find common ground, such as sports or movies
- Create structure, such as regular mealtimes and bedtimes, to make a teen feel safe and secure
- Encourage exercise to help ease depression, boost energy and mood, and improve your teen's self-esteem
- Encourage 7 to 9 hours of restful sleep every night
- Learn more by reading the related articles
What separates normal from troubled teen behavior?
As teenagers begin to assert their independence and find their own identity, many experience behavioral changes that can seem bizarre and unpredictable to parents. Your sweet, obedient child who once couldn't bear to be separated from you now won't be seen within 20 yards of you, and greets everything you say with a roll of the eyes or the slam of a door. These, unfortunately, are the actions of a normal teenager.
As the parent of a troubled teen, you're faced with even greater challenges. This is especially true if your teen is abusing drugs or alcohol. A troubled teen faces behavioral, emotional, or learning problems beyond the normal teenage issues. They may repeatedly practice at-risk behaviors such as violence, skipping school, drinking, drug use, sex, self-harming, shoplifting, or other criminal acts. Or they may exhibit symptoms of mental health problems like depression, anxiety, or eating disorders. While any negative behavior repeated over and over can be a sign of underlying trouble, it's important for parents to understand which behaviors are normal during adolescent development, and which can point to more serious problems.
When typical teen behavior becomes troubled teen behavior |
Changing appearance |
Typical teen behavior: Keeping up with fashion is important to teens. That may mean wearing provocative or attention-seeking clothing or dyeing hair. Unless your teen wants tattoos, avoid criticizing and save your protests for the bigger issues. Fashions change, and so will your teen. Warning signs: Changing appearance can be a red flag if it's accompanied by problems at school or other negative changes in behavior, or if there's evidence of cutting and self-harm or extreme weight loss or weight gain. |
Increased arguments and rebellious behavior |
Typical teen behavior: As teens begin seeking independence, you will frequently butt heads and argue. Warning signs: Constant escalation of arguments, violence at home, skipping school, getting in fights, and run-ins with the law are all red flag behaviors that go beyond the norm of teenage rebellion. |
Mood swings |
Typical teen behavior: Hormones and developmental changes often mean that your teen will experience mood swings, irritable behavior, and struggle to manage his or her emotions. Warning signs: Rapid changes in personality, falling grades, persistent sadness, anxiety, or sleep problems could indicate depression, bullying, or another emotional health issue. Take any talk about suicide seriously. |
Experimenting with alcohol or drugs |
Typical teen behavior: Most teens will try alcohol and smoke a cigarette at some point. Many will even try marijuana. Talking to your kids frankly and openly about drugs and alcohol is one way to ensure it doesn't progress further. Warning signs: When alcohol or drug use becomes habitual, especially when it's accompanied by problems at school or home, it may indicate a substance abuse issue or other underlying problems. |
More influenced by friends than parents |
Typical teen behavior: Friends become extremely important to teens and can have a great influence on their choices. As teens focus more on their peers, that inevitably means they withdraw from you. It may leave you feeling hurt, but it doesn't mean your teen doesn't still need your love. Warning signs: Red flags include a sudden change in peer group (especially if the new friends encourage negative behavior), refusing to comply with reasonable rules and boundaries, or avoiding the consequences of bad behavior by lying. Your teen spending too much time alone can also indicate problems. |
Seeking professional help for a troubled teen
If you identify red flag behaviors in your teen, consult a doctor, counselor, therapist, or other mental health professional for help finding appropriate treatment.
Even when you seek professional help for your teen, though, that doesn't mean that your job is done—it's just begun. As detailed below, there are many things you can do at home to help your teen and improve the relationship between you. And you don't need to wait for a diagnosis to start putting them into practice.
All teens need to feel loved
Teenagers are individuals with unique personalities and their own likes and dislikes. Some things about them are universal, though. No matter how much your teen seems to withdraw from you emotionally, no matter how independent your teen appears, or how troubled your teen becomes, he or she still needs your attention and to feel loved by you.
Understanding teen development
No, your teen is not an alien being from a distant planet, but he or she is wired differently. A teenager's brain is still actively developing, processing information differently than a mature adult's brain. The frontal cortex—the part of the brain used to manage emotions, make decisions, reason, and control inhibitions—is restructured during the teenage years, forming new synapses at an incredible rate, while the whole brain does not reach full maturity until about the mid-20's.
Your teen may be taller than you and seem mature in some respects, but often he or she is simply unable to think things through at an adult level. Hormones produced during the physical changes of adolescence can further complicate things. Now, these biological differences don't excuse teens' poor behavior or absolve them from accountability for their actions, but they may help explain why teens behave so impulsively or frustrate parents and teachers with their poor decisions, social anxiety, and rebelliousness. Understanding adolescent development can help you find ways to stay connected to your teen and overcome problems together.
Teens see anger everywhere
Teens differ from adults in their ability to read and understand emotions in the faces of others. Adults use the prefrontal cortex to read emotional cues, but teenagers rely on the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for emotional reactions. In research, teens often misread facial expressions; when shown pictures of adult faces expressing different emotions, teens most often interpreted them as being angry.

Anger and violence in teenagers
If you feel threatened by your teen
Everyone has a right to feel physically safe. If your teen is violent towards you, seek help immediately. Call a friend, relative, or the police if necessary. It doesn't mean that you don't love your child, but the safety of you and your family should always come first.
If you're a parent of a teenage boy who is angry, aggressive, or violent, you may live in constant fear. Every phone call or knock on the door could bring news that your son has either been harmed, or has seriously harmed others.
Teenage girls get angry as well, of course, but that anger is usually expressed verbally rather than physically. Teen boys are more likely to throw objects, kick doors, or punch the walls when they're angry. Some will even direct their rage towards you. For any parent, especially single mothers, this can be a profoundly upsetting and unsettling experience. But you don't have to live under the threat of violence. Putting up with violence is as harmful for your teen as it is for you.
Dealing with angry teens
Anger can be a challenging emotion for many teens as it often masks other underlying emotions such as frustration, embarrassment, sadness, hurt, fear, shame, or vulnerability. When teens can't cope with these feelings, they may lash out, putting themselves and others at risk. In their teens, many boys have difficulty recognizing their feelings, let alone being able to express them or ask for help.
The challenge for parents is to help your teen cope with emotions and deal with anger in a more constructive way:
Establish boundaries, rules and consequences. At a time when both you and your teen are calm, explain that there's nothing wrong with feeling anger, but there are unacceptable ways of expressing it. If your teen lashes out, for example, he or she will have to face the consequences—loss of privileges or even police involvement. Teens need boundaries and rules, now more than ever.
Try to understand what's behind the anger. Is your child sad or depressed? For example, does your teen have feelings of inadequacy because his or her peers have things that your child doesn't? Does your teen just need someone to listen to him or her without judgment?
Be aware of anger warning signs and triggers. Does your teen get headaches or start to pace before exploding with rage? Or does a certain class at school always trigger anger? When teens can identify the warning signs that their temper is starting to boil, it allows them to take steps to defuse the anger before it gets out of control.
Help your teen find healthy ways to relieve anger. Exercise is especially effective: running, biking, climbing or team sports. Even simply hitting a punch bag or a pillow can help relieve tension and anger. Dancing or playing along to loud, angry music can also provide relief. Some teens also use art or writing to creatively express their anger.
Give your teen space to retreat. When your teen is angry, allow him or her to retreat to a place where it's safe to cool off. Don't follow your teen and demand apologies or explanations while he or she is still raging; this will only prolong or escalate the anger, or even provoke a physical response.
Take steps to manage your own anger. You can't help your teen if you lose your temper as well. As difficult as it sounds, you have to remain calm and balanced no matter how much your child provokes you. If you or other members of your family scream, hit each other, or throw things, your teen will naturally assume that these are appropriate ways to express his or her anger as well.
Red flags for violent behavior in teens
It only takes a glance at the news headlines to know that teen violence is a growing problem. Movies and TV shows glamorize all manner of violence, many web sites promote extremist views that call for violent action, and hour after hour of playing violent video games can desensitize teens to the real world consequences of aggression and violence. Of course, not every teen exposed to violent content will become violent, but for a troubled teen who is emotionally damaged or suffering from mental health problems, the consequences can be tragic.
Warning signs that a teen may become violent include:
- Playing with weapons of any kind
- Obsessively playing violent video games, watching violent movies, or visiting websites that promote or glorify violence
- Threatening or bullying others
- Fantasizing about acts of violence he'd like to commit
- Being violent or cruel to pets or other animals
Helping troubled teens
Whatever problems your teen is experiencing, it is not a sign that you've somehow failed as a parent. Instead of trying to assign blame for the situation, focus on your teen's current needs. The first step to doing this is to find a way to connect with what he or she is experiencing emotionally and socially.
Tip 1: Connect with your teen
It may seem hard to believe—given your child's anger or indifference towards you—but teens still crave love, approval, and acceptance from their parents. Positive face-to-face connection is the quickest most efficient way to reduce stress by calming and focusing the nervous system. That means you probably have a lot more influence over your teen than you think. To open the lines of communication:
Be aware of your own stress levels. If you're angry or upset, now is not the time to try to communicate with your teen. Wait until you're calm and energized before starting a conversation. You're likely to need all the patience and positive energy you can muster.
Be there for your teen. An offer to chat with your teen over coffee will probably be greeted with a sarcastic put-down or dismissive gesture, but it's important to show you're available. Insist on sitting down for mealtimes together with no TV or other distractions. Look at your teen when you speak and invite your teen to look at you. Don't get frustrated if your efforts are greeted by nothing more than monosyllabic grunts or shrugs; you may have to eat a lot of dinners in silence, but when your teen does want to open up, he or she will have the opportunity to do so.
Find common ground. Trying to discuss your teen's appearance or clothes may be a sure-fire way to trigger a heated argument, but you can still find some areas of common ground. Fathers and sons often connect over sports; mothers and daughters over gossip or movies. The objective is not to be your teen's best friend, but to find common interests that you can discuss peacefully. Once you're talking, your teen may feel more comfortable opening up to you about other things.
Listen without judging or giving advice. When your teen does talk to you, it's important that you listen without judging, mocking, interrupting, criticizing, or offering advice. Your teen wants to feel understood and valued by you, so maintain eye contact and keep your focus on your child, even when he or she is not looking at you. If you're checking your email or reading the newspaper, your teen will feel that he or she is not important to you.
Expect rejection. Your attempts to connect with your teen may often be met with anger, irritation, or other negative reactions. Stay relaxed and allow your teen space to cool off. Try again later when you're both calm. Successfully connecting to your teen will take time and effort. Don't be put off; persevere and the breakthrough will come.
Roadblocks to connection
If your teen is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, their ability to connect emotionally or socially will be compromised. See How Addiction Hijacks the Brain
If your teen is taking antidepressants, make sure the dosage is no more than absolutely needed. See Antidepressant Medication
Tip 2: Make healthy lifestyle changes
The tips below can help put balance back in your troubled teen's life, no matter the exact diagnosis of his or her problems:
Create structure. Teens may scream and argue with you about rules and discipline, or rebel against daily structure, but that doesn't mean they need them any less. Structure, such as regular mealtimes and bedtimes, make a teen feel safe and secure. Sitting down to breakfast and dinner together every day can also provide a great opportunity to check in with your teen at the beginning and end of each day.
Reduce screen time. There is a direct relationship between violent TV shows, movies, Internet content, and video games, and the violent behavior in teenagers. Even if your teen isn't drawn to violent material, too much screen time can still impact brain development. Limit the time your teen has access to electronic devices—and restrict phone usage after a certain time at night to ensure your child gets enough sleep.
Encourage exercise. Even a little regular exercise can help ease depression, boost energy and mood, relieve stress, regulate sleep patterns, and improve your teen's self-esteem. If you struggle getting your teen to do anything but play video games, encourage him or her to play activity-based video games or "exergames" that are played standing up and moving around—simulating dancing, skateboarding, soccer, or tennis for example. Once exercise becomes a habit, encourage your teen to try the real sport or to join a club or team.
Eat right. Healthy eating can help stabilize a teenager's energy, sharpen his or her mind, and even out his or her mood. Act as a role model for your teen. Cook more meals at home, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut back on junk food and soda.
Ensure your teen gets enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can make a teen stressed, moody, irritable, and lethargic, and cause problems with weight, memory, concentration, decision-making, and immunity from illness. You might be able to get by on six hours a night and still function at work, but your teen needs 8.5 to 10 hours of sleep a night to be mentlly sharp and emotionally balanced. Encourage better sleep by setting consistant bedtimes, and removing TVs, computers, and other electronic gadgets from your teen's room—the light from these suppresses melatonin production and stimulated the mind, rather than relaxing it. Suggest your teen tries listening to music or audio books at bedtime instead.
Tip 3: Take care of yourself
The stress of dealing with any teenager, especially one who's experiencing behavioral problems, can take a toll on your own health, so it's important to take care of yourself. That means looking after your emotional and physical needs and learning to manage stress.
Taking care of yourself
Take time to relax daily and learn how to regulate yourself and de-stress when you start to feel overwhelmed. See Stress Management
Watch out for signs of depression and anxiety and get professional help if needed.
See Depression Symptoms and Warning Signs and Anxiety Disorders and Anxiety Attacks
Don't go it alone, especially if you're a single parent. Seek help from friends, relatives, a school counselor, sports coach, religious leader, or someone else who has a relationship with your teen. Organizations such as Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA, and other youth groups can also help provide structure and guidance.
This won't last forever
It's worth reminding your teen that no matter how much pain or turmoil he or she is experiencing right now, with your love and support, and professional help when it's needed, things can and will get better—for both of you. Your teen can overcome the problems of adolescence and mature into a happy, successful young adult.

In honor of the work of Frank and Ellen McNeirney
Welcome to friends of our former sister organization in the effort to end the death penalty, Catholics Against Capital Punishment. CACP was formed in 1992 by Francis (Frank) A. McNeirney of Bethesda, Maryland, who, with the assistance of his wife, Ellen, built up a large organized community of Catholics and others of good will in the fight against the death penalty. Before there was an internet, or cell phones, Frank and Ellen worked to raise awareness of the injustices of the death penalty and promote the Catholic Church's unconditional pro-life stance, even for capital offenders. As the information age dawned, Frank and Ellen turned to email and the internet to carry those messages even further, including on the CACP website.
In December 2011, Frank completed what was his to do on earth and God took him home. Soon thereafter, Ellen chose to retire from the work of CACP. However, she wished that those who had joined the CACP cause over the years would continue to find a way to express their efforts to end the death penalty. She made arrangements with Catholic Mobilizing Network (CMN) Executive Director Karen Clifton to transition the cacp.org domain to CMN's use in perpetuity so that those who have been touched by their activities via CACP can continue working and sharing their gifts in another national Catholic organization committed to ending the death penalty and promoting restorative justice.
The items that you will see on this page now and in the near future have been taken from the old CACP site and are listed not only on this page, but throughout the CMN website as resources that augment a growing collection of inspirational stories, ecclesial documents, news items, articles, books, and videos. In this way the great work of Frank and Ellen and CACP will continue to be like seed that can bear much fruit in the cause of life and justice. May Frank, from his place in the heart of God, continue to strengthen these efforts.
We hope that as previous supporters of CACP you will continue that support via CMN. We encourage you to sign up to receive regular email updates from us or we invite you to consider a financial contribution to continue our work. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

That is a personal choice.
What's wrong with warriors exactly? I soloed 3 timed ZA as prot in DPS gear without flasking, and even went on to kill Drakkara with the same setup in 2 attempts. They can either outheal damage on older content with Second Wind or get ridiculous self-healing from adds/trash with Victory Rush.
Many Multitudes Online Constantly Harping About Minor Problems
Demo locks are pretty awesome. You can go pet or petless, tank or DPS. Amazing AoE, and decent self-healing.
I actually feel much sturdier on my demo lock than on my ret pally.
Not saying that warriors aren't a worthwhile class to solo on, but nearly every class can solo 10 man WotLK raid or older stuff now. It really just boils down to what content you want to solo. Nearly all pre-raid MoP bosses that drop a mount are soloable by every class (Al'akir is the only one I can think of that is limited to just tanks w/ dps gear) either because of the mechanics of the fight or because the self-hps requirement is very minor at 90. If all you're interested in are the new battle pets or mounts you missed out on, pick whichever class you want and have fun.
I do kind of lean toward Paladin, more so than a Hunter. Mostly just because it can be a variety of roles, since I don't plan on just solo 100% of the time. The one thing I like about hunters, is having a pet by my side and I kind of like ranged more than melee...but I did always like the Paladin class in games. But I'm mostly going at it just for the challenge of trying to solo a raid...plus trying to get mounts and stuff that sometimes drop...is nice. And the achievements. I'm not really doing it for any other reason. Well that, and sometimes I just like chatting and not worrying about my role in a group. Sometimes groups feel like they rush through stuff, and sometimes I like taking my time.
Think I may make the paladin level 80...I may make a hunter alt, but having a variety of roles does seem rather nice. Thanks for all the help everyone

The Treasury Sells More GM Stock. (We're Still in the Red)
byThe stigma of "Government Motors" continues to wane. The U.S. Treasury said today it will sell an additional 30 million shares of General Motors, which is scheduled to rejoin the S&P 500 index on Thursday. At the same time, the United Auto Workers' GM medical benefits trust intends to sell 20 million shares.
Is Detroit free of Uncle Sam? Not quite. As of April 30, the government still held 241.6 million GM shares, or 16.4 percent of the Detroit automaker and a little less than half the 554 million shares the government owned after GM's initial public offering in 2010.
The Treasury intends to unload its entire position by March 2014, with periodic sales determined by market conditions—although it will be a stretch for taxpayers to turn a profit on the GM investment. To date, the government has recouped (PDF) about $30.7 billion of the $49.5 billion in bailout funds GM received. Company shares have gained 21 percent this year, outpacing the S&P 500, topping the $33 IPO share price earlier this month. The government would need to sell its remaining shares at an average price of about $50 to break even on its investment; even analysts who like the stock don't think it will get there any time soon.
Administration officials have said for years that the Detroit bailout was designed to save some one million jobs and retain a U.S. auto industry more than it was to break even or show a return. In April, the department sold 58.4 million shares, netting $1.6 billion. Five months earlier, it sold 200 million shares back to GM for $5.5 billion. The new sale should recover at least $1 billion, based on GM's current share price.
The latest sale announcement was timed with the news that Standard & Poor's will restore GM to its prominent index after trading closes on June 6, replacing Heinz, which is being acquired for $23 billion by 3G Capital and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. GM will be included in S&P's 500 and 100 indices, the latter of which is also welcoming a second veteran of the federal Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)—American International Group—on the same day as GM.

Below, you can find the Lyrics of Mangueira Samba theme for 2010:
"Mangueira é música do Brasil"
"Vai passar"
Nessa avenida mais um samba popular
Mangueira até "parece um céu no chão"
É música vestida de emoção
Com notas e acordes refletiu
Em suas cores o orgulho do brasil
Nas ondas do rádio,
De norte a sul viajei com a melodia...
Vai, minha inspiração
"Num doce balanço a caminho do mar"
Vem me trazer a canção
Pro mundo se encantar
"Corra e olhe o céu" em verde e rosa
Brilham as estrelas imortais
"Bate outra vez" uma saudade
Lembro dos antigos carnavais
Um verso me levou
Do rock à jovem guarda
Fui "caminhando e cantando" ao luar
"Com a tropicália no olhar"
Atrás do trio eu quero ver
O baile começar e a noite adormecer
"O sol nascerá", as cortinas irão se fechar
"Folhas secas" virão e o show vai continuar
Meu coração é verde e rosa
Descendo o morro, eu vou
A música, alegria do povo
Chegou, a mangueira chegou
Composed by: Renan Brandão, Machado, Paulinho Bandolim annd Rodrigo Carioca

September 30, 2007
Balvenie NAS (43%, OB, flat bottle with flags, 1980's) Here's the funny bottle that we sometimes call 'the tennis racket'. The 18yo version is more common I think, and less sherried.
September 28, 2007
Port Charlotte 2001/2007 'PC6' (61.6%, OB, 2007) Here's the brand new Port Charlotte! We'll also have a glass of the PC5 at hand so that we can compare both. Colour: straw (the PC5 is rather pale gold, that is to say darker). Nose: it's obviously the same make, except that the PC6 is straighter at first nosing, more directly on smoke and less on pears and kirsch.
September 27, 2007
Laphroaig 25 yo (40%, OB, 2007) Here's the new large batch Laphroaig, unexpectedly bottled at 40%. A bit strange when you know the difference that just 3 more percents can make to the regular 10yo. Colour: straw/pale gold.
MUSIC – Recommended listening: game for some good, honest, America-like country-rock today? So, let's have Grevious Angel doing Down by love.mp3 and then buy their music...
September 26, 2007
Bowmore 42 yo 1964/2007 'Black' (40.5%, OB, 827 bottles) A vatting of five oloroso sherry casks, from Bowmore's first distillation using indirect steam heating (vs. direct firing). We absolutely adored the first edition of the older Black Bowmore (96) but found the second and the 'final' (at the time) editions slightly lumpish and too much on the 'blackberry jam - chocolate' side, the final edition being even a bit tannic, but they were still great whiskies (both 91). No need to say we're very curious about this Black Bowmore Reloaded...

SHOPPING - It's all about China buying whisky these days but why not try to be smarter and buy whisky FROM China? Frankly, this bottle looks fantastic and they are capable of supplying us with 120,000 pieces a month. The name is 'Blueblood' and here's what they are writing to convince us even further: ' Features: 1) Blueblood 12, Blueblood 18 and Blueblood 21 whisky are deluxe whisky brewed from cereals and malts and underground water from narrow valleys at unique natural climate. 2) Rich wine quality, pure, aromatic and smoky tastes are maintained. 3) Has been sharing good reputation of "Soul of Whisky" for decades. 4) Ingredients: water, barley, wheat, pure malts. 5) Concentrate source: Scotland U.K.. 6) Alcohol volume: 40% vol. 7) N.W.: 700ml. Now, it is to be wondered if '12', '18' and '21' are really related to this beverage's age... But what's reassuring is that the company was 'established in 1578'! B.C.?
September 22, 2007
MUSIC – Recommended listening: This is fun, it's made by Barcelona's Pinker Tones and it's called Love Tape.mp3 (from their CD The Million Colour Revolution). Please buy their music (via the excellent False 45th)
September 20, 2007
Glen Elgin 12yo (43%, OB, circa 2006) Colour: pale gold. Nose: a very malty and 'roasted' start with also a good deal of wood smoke (or barbecue). Gets then more honeyed but the loads of roasted nuts are still here, as well as quite some mocha. Very nice nose, not complex but assertive and very pleasant if you like (cold) coffee.

CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan RICHARD HAWLEY The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London September 5th 2007
"Fookin' heck lads, give me a bit of room". It's Maurice Michelin Man, who edges past a puzzled Photographer ("lads"?), clutching two pints of beer in his hands, and heads for his chum, Maurice Michelin Man II, and his seat. For some unfathomable reason we're seated in the balcony of the Roundhouse – the mysteries of on-line ticket booking I suppose – but to be frank, after another day of strikebound gridlocked London it's nice to have a seat. We've got a fine view across the stage and the sound is as good as it is down on the floor.

Homeland nominee boycotted
President Barack Obama's choice to be the No. 2 official at the Department of Homeland Security used his appearance before a Senate panel Thursday to adamantly deny allegations that he helped a politically connected company obtain a foreign investor visa.
But the eight Republican members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee weren't in the room for the nearly two-hour confirmation hearing. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said in a written statement that he wouldn't participate in the hearing until the allegations against Alejandro Mayorkas are resolved.
The department's inspector general is investigating Mayorkas' role in helping secure a foreign investor visa for Gulf Coast Funds Management, a company run by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother Tony Rodham. The efforts on behalf of Gulf Coast allegedly occurred after the visa application had been denied and an appeal rejected.
Democrats didn't shy from asking Mayorkas, currently the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, to explain what he knew of the investigation, and he said he only learned about it on Monday night, at the same time as lawmakers.
Mayorkas told the committee that suggestions of impropriety on the visa matter were "unequivocally false" and that he had overseen the program "based on the law and the facts, and nothing else."
CBO: Reversing cuts beneficial
A new study says that reversing more than $100 billion in automatic spending cuts hitting the economy this year and next would boost the economy by 0.7 percent and increase employment by 900,000 jobs.
The Congressional Budget Office study is similar to prior estimates by the agency. The CBO figures are the agency's best estimate but the possible range of job growth is much wider, from 300,000 jobs to 1.6 million.
The report comes as President Barack Obama is redoubling his campaign against the automatic cuts, known as sequestration, which are causing furloughs among government workers and have been credited with slowing the economic recovery.
CBO said reversing the cuts would boost the economy in the short term, but hurt it in the longer term.
Panel refuses budget cuts
Senate Democrats on Thursday rejected a bid by Republicans to cut back spending on transportation and housing programs to keep them in line with automatic spending cuts required under the rules set by a budget deal two years ago.
The 56-42 vote killed a move by Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., to cut the price tag for the huge spending bill by $9 billion to bring it in line with an austere House measure that cuts community development grants, housing subsidies and funding for Amtrak.
"The transportation and housing bill could not exist at the worse-than-sequestration levels being pushed in the House," said the measure's Democratic author, Patty Murray of Washington, citing cuts to community development grants, rural air subsidies and housing for the poor.
Separately, Democrats on the Appropriations panel advanced a bill to protect the Internal Revenue Service from huge budget cuts sought by House Republicans.
Besides safeguarding the IRS against cuts, they defended the ability of the IRS to enforce President Barack Obama's health-care law. The measure was adopted on a party-line vote.
The $44 billion IRS funding bill is bigger than the House version. The House bill would slash the IRS budget next year by $3 billion.
Equal treatment in campaign funding
The Federal Election Commission ruled Thursday that the political contributions of married same-sex couples should be treated equally to the donations of married straight couples, acting after a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court on gay marriage.
The FEC unanimously approved two advisory opinions that were requested after the Supreme Court's decision in June striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that denied federal benefits to married gay couples. The FEC decisions place it among the first federal agencies to approve new rules following the high court's decision.

WASHINGTON — Investigative documents in the WikiLeaks probe spilled out into the public domain Saturday for the first time, pointing to the Obama administration's determination to assemble a criminal case no matter how long it takes and how far afield authorities have to go.
Backed by a magistrate judge's court order from Dec. 14, the newly disclosed documents sent to Twitter Inc. by the U.S. attorney's office in Alexandria, Va., demand details about the accounts of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and Pfc. Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst who's in custody and suspected of supplying WikiLeaks with classified information.
The others whose Twitter accounts are targeted in the prosecutors' demand are Birgitta Jonsdottir, an Icelandic parliamentarian and one-time WikiLeaks collaborator; Dutch hacker Rop Gonggrijp; and U.S. programmer Jacob Appelbaum. Gonggrijp and Appelbaum have worked with WikiLeaks in the past.
Justice Department spokesman Matt Miller declined comment on the disclosure in the case, which intensified following WikiLeaks' latest round of revelations with the posting of classified State Department diplomatic cables. The next day, Nov. 29, Attorney General Eric Holder vowed that anyone found to have violated U.S. law in the leaks would be prosecuted.
Assange said the U.S. move amounted to harassment, and he pledged to fight it.
"If the Iranian government was to attempt to coercively obtain this information from journalists and activists of foreign nations, human rights groups around the world would speak out," he told The Associated Press in an e-mail.
Legal experts have said one possible avenue for federal prosecutors would be to establish a conspiracy to steal classified information.
"They are trying to show that Manning was more than a source of the information to a reporter and rather that Assange and Manning were trying to jointly steal information from the U.S. government," said Mark Rasch, a former prosecutor on computer crime and espionage cases in the Justice Department.
The problem is distinguishing between WikiLeaks as a news organization and those who re-published the same classified information, like The New York Times, said Rasch, director of cybersecurity and privacy consulting at CSC, a Falls Church, Va., technology company.
"How do they prosecute?" asked Rasch. "The answer is by establishing a unity of interest between Manning and Assange. Make it a theft case and not just a journalist publishing information case."
The demand by prosecutors sought information dating to Nov. 1, 2009, several months before an earlier WikiLeaks release.
Manning is in a maximum-security military brig at Quantico, Va., charged with leaking video of a 2007 U.S. Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that killed a Reuters news photographer and his driver. WikiLeaks posted the video on its website in April of last year. Three months later, WikiLeaks posted some 90,000 leaked U.S. military records on the war in Afghanistan, including unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings as well as covert operations against Taliban figures.
The main target of the prosecutors' document demands is most likely the IP addresses of the Twitter users, said Stanford University law professor Larry Lessig, founder of the Center for Internet & Society, Stanford.
Getting a list of IP addresses — specific numerical address that can identify individual computers as they interact over the Internet — could help prosecutors an effort to draw specific connections between individuals, their computers, and the information they share.
"It's not very hard for an investigator to put these things together and come back and identify a specific individual," Lessig said.
In a statement about the demand to Twitter for information, WikiLeaks said it has reason to believe Facebook and Google, among other organizations, have received similar court orders. WikiLeaks called on them to unseal any subpoenas they have received.
The document demand ordered Twitter to hand over private messages, billing information, telephone numbers, connection records and other information about accounts run by Assange and the others.
A copy of the demand, sent to the AP by Jonsdottir, said the information sought was "relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation" and ordered Twitter not to disclose its existence to any of the targets.
But a second document, dated Jan. 5, unsealed the court order. Although the reason wasn't made explicit in the document, WikiLeaks said it had been unsealed "thanks to legal action by Twitter."
Twitter declined comment on the matter, saying only that its policy is to notify its users, where possible, of government requests for information.
Neither Facebook Inc. nor Google Inc. immediately returned messages Saturday.
