March 21, 2013 DES MOINES, Iowa - Boise State will be represented in the quarterfinals by three wrestlers at the 2013 NCAA Wrestling Championships. Jason Chamberlain, George Ivanov and J.T. Felix each won two bouts, Thursday and will be looking for All-American status with a win in Friday's morning session. As a team, the Broncos went 7-2 and are currently in a tie for 10th place with 12 team points. Chamberlain, the No. 2 seed at 149 pounds, collected two wins by major decision on the first day of action. In the first round, he handily defeated Caleb Ervin of Illinois, 18-4. In the second round, the Springville, Utah native traded takedowns for escapes all match and accumulated seven overall to win 14-5 against All-American Nick Lester of Oklahoma. Chamberlain will face Scott Sakaguchi (Oregon State) tomorrow. Sakaguchi handed Chamberlain his only loss of the season in November but Chamberlain has twice avenged the loss since then. At 157 pounds, Ivanov jumped all over Daniel Zilverberg (Minnesota) in the early going, going up 6-1 in a little over a minute and at the end of the first round, the senior led 8-3. The pace slowed substantially after that but Ivanov held his ground for the 11-5 win. In the second round, The Council Bluffs, Iowa native met Taylor Walsh of Indiana. In that bout Ivanov had to use a late charge to secure the win, outscoring Walsh 5-3 in the final period to win 9-6. A quarterfinal meeting is set with Alex Dieringer of Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals. Dieringer advanced with two major decisions in each of his bouts. Felix only needed to wrestle one match to advance to the quarterfinals at 285 pounds as No. 6 Bobby Telford (Iowa) conceded with an injury default in the second round. The junior beat Justin Grant (Bloomsburg) in the first bout of the day thanks to two takedowns in the final period. Head coach Greg Randall did his part to even the score after the officials did not credit Felix for an escape, citing that he was out of bounds before the escape. After review, the ruling was changed and the two were tied at 2-2 heading into the final period. In the final 1:07, Felix achieved his only two takedowns of the bout to earn the decision. The Riverside, Calif., native will face No. 3 Alan Gelogaev of Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals. All-American hopeful Jake Swartz (184) will look to work his way through the consolation bracket as he went 1-1 on the opening day. No. 10 Swartz defeated James Cook (Campbell) by an 11-0 decision before facing No. 7 Jimm Sheptock of Maryland in the second-round nail biter. Neither Sheptock nor Swartz could score in the first round but it was Sheptock who started on the right foot in the second period, getting an escape and a takedown to take a 3-0 lead. That lead was cut to two points after the redshirt junior escaped with a minute left. In the final period, Swartz escaped easily to start but could not get a takedown, falling 3-2. Swartz will face Christopher Chionuma (Oklahoma State) tomorrow morning. Brian Owen (133) fell in his first two bouts and was eliminated from the tournament. The senior lost an 11-0 major decision during the first session and a 1-0 decision in the second. Session 3 will begin, Friday at 10 a.m. (MT), followed by Session 4 at 6 p.m. Two rounds of wrestlebacks and one round of championship action will be held during each session. Stay up-to-date with the latest happenings with the Boise State Tournament Central. |

Emmy Award nominated Two and a Half Men has been the Number One-rated sitcom on television for the past four seasons. It's a comedy about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love. More specifically, it's about the lives of two brothers, one brother's son, and the many women who surround them.
Charlie Harper is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with women. His casual Malibu lifestyle was interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan, and Alan's son, Jake, came to stay with him. Complicating matters further are Charlie and Alan's narcissistic, emotionally toxic mother, Evelyn; Alan's deeply neurotic ex-wife, Judith; and Charlie's domineering, unapologetically blue-collar housekeeper, Berta. Despite the complexities of their lives and their own strained relationship, Charlie and Alan have one thing in common -- they both love Jake and want what's best for him. As a result, they manage to create a little family unit that promises to make each of them a better man.

Remember the other day when Mrs. Schori referred to Mark Lawrence and most of the rest of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina in the following terms?
I tell you that story because it's indicative of attitudes we've seen here and in many other places. Somebody decides he knows the law, and oversteps whatever authority he may have to dictate the fate of others who may in fact be obeying the law, and often a law for which this local tyrant is not the judge. It's not too far from that kind of attitude to citizens' militias deciding to patrol their towns or the Mexican border for unwelcome visitors. It's not terribly far from the state of mind evidenced in school shootings, or in those who want to arm school children, or the terrorism that takes oil workers hostage.
Most human communities, from churches to governments to families, function more effectively in response to shared decision-making. Most of us don't live in a world where one person is the ultimate Decider – because, over and over again, we've discovered that better decisions are made when they're made in communities with appropriate checks and balances. Power assumed by one authority figure alone is often a recipe for abuse, tyranny, and corruption. That's why Jesus challenges us to think about how the shepherd acts. The authentic ones don't sneak over the wall in the dead of night. They operate transparently, and they work cooperatively with the gate-keeper himself.
What about the sheep who aren't in the fold, who don't know there is a feast to be found, rest for the body and soul, and partners who are willing to wrestle with the dictates of petty Deciders or wolves who masquerade as sheep?
Believe it or not, those weren't the worst words the Presiding Bishop used in this situation. These were.
A spokesman for Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has denied suggestions that her sermon denouncing as terrorists and murderers those who did not share her views on the polity of the Episcopal Church was directed at Bishop Mark J. Lawrence or the members of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina.
Asked to respond to Canon Ashey's comments, a spokesman for the presiding bishop told Anglican Ink: "As for the Presiding Bishop's sermon, she did not identify any group in her sermon."
George Conger? This is a personal thing, I don't know if you have any control over it and it's not that big of a deal anyway but you might want to dial back the use of the term "schismatics" that appeared in your article's title. Every single Anglican, legitimate or not, is a "schismatic," brother.
But those two paragraphs are why I can never rejoin the church my mother had me baptized into. Kate, any human being who can read and whose conscience still works knows damned good and well who you were referring to.
And actual Christians just should not be able to lie through their teeth that effortlessly.

Not a very good liar, is she?
Other than realizing she stepped in it big-time based on the reaction to it, I guess all she can do is deny. I notice the spokesperson didn't say it wasn't what the PB meant. She just said the PB didn't specifically name anyone. That's not even a clever avoidance. Bill Clinton has set up shop in Harlem, maybe he teaches a seminar on lying in a more clever fashion they can take on their way to 815 some morning.
January 31, 2013
Remember PB KJS at Dar es Salaam several years ago when she disowned comments she made there that her audience clearly heard her say?
January 31, 2013
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman……I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false." Bill Clinton
"A lie can run around the world six times while the truth is still trying to put on its pants." Mark Twain
"Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society." Ralph Waldo Emerson
""As for the Presiding Bishop's sermon, she did not identify any group in her sermon." Spokesman for the Presiding Liar
January 31, 2013
"Her sermon, the continuing group's statement said, was pastoral. "The Presiding bishop urged an end to divisive actions in the Church that grieve the heart of God." Or put another way, "It's my way or the highway". This appeal to unity really means people must toe the party line or else. It is not an appeal to unity in the power of the Spirit but unity as submission to her.
January 31, 2013
So what else is new? The Presiding Bishop (or her spokesman, in this case) demonizes someone and then lies about it. Nothing to see here. Move along!
January 31, 2013
I thought I smelled buring sulfur when I was in downtown Charleston last Saturday.
January 31, 2013
The denial isn't credible. I saw a comment by Allan Haley (the Anglican Curmudgeon) at Stand Firm which I agree with. The Diocese of South Carolina beat her at her own game, by getting to the courts first and getting a restraining order, soon to be injunction, against her strategy. This sermon was blind fury at being out-maneuvered. It was unwise, but unscrupulous people are often unwise when cornered.
"Pastoral"? Don't make me ill.
January 31, 2013
I agree with Katherine. Part of her attitude towards +Lawrence and the diocesan leadership is indeed anger over at being out maneuvered! I think the quote from +Lawrence says it best of all.
"One of the things I said to the Presiding Bishop when last we spoke is that if she and I could refrain from demonizing one another, regardless of what others around us are saying, we might get somewhere. Based on the words and argument of her recent sermon for the New TEC Diocese in South Carolina, I guess she wasn't able to do it," Bishop Lawrence said.
Yep, she was not able to refrain from demonizing her opponent via a thinly veiled reference to +Lawrence and the leadership of the diocese. KJS, you are not fooling anyone except perhaps yourself. I suggest reading James1:26.
January 31, 2013
The unnamed spokesperson for the Presiding Bishop reminds me of a character in The Lord of the Rings trilogy: the Mouth of Sauron.
January 31, 2013
How, exactly, do you have an "unnamed spokesperson" for the head of a church? Anyone allowed to speak on behalf of the PB is known to Conger. Were these words so embarrassing that whichever functionary came out to utter them had to plead with everyone not to use their name? Or perhaps, the TEC communications officer handed it off to the assistant communications officer who handed it off to the secretary to gave it to a student intern who handed the duty off to one of the non-union custodians who passed it on to Conger?
January 31, 2013
Maybe the spokesperson was Susan Rice.
January 31, 2013
Geosez wins. That was funny!
January 31, 2013
"I tell you that story because it's indicative of attitudes we've seen here and in many other places."
Attitudes we've seen HERE.
HERE as in "this place where I am standing right now and speaking in the context of a religious group under spiritual leadership".
Hmm – what is the religious group and who is the spiritual leader of South Carolina, in the Episcopalian context, that all the disagreement is about?
Honestly, what good is it bragging how much smarter Episcopalians are, that you don't have to leave your brain at the door, that it's the thinking person's church, and then acting as if people can't read plain English and understand the implications?
January 31, 2013
Very good, Fuinseoig!
January 31, 2013
The PB's reference was *NOT* at all thinly veiled.
Please stop giving any progressive any benefit of the doubt when it comes to leadership. To a person they are in the game to change ALL the rules, seize power, maintain their surreptitiously erected suzerainties, set arbitrarily determined license over and above true liberty. In the Church, their aim is to set human will over and above the will of Almighty God. Their mouths and actions slur out an utterly false gospel. Their hearts are hardening and darkening, their ears, deaf, their eyes, blind. Avoid such persons.
Remember: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%203:1-7&version=ESV
January 31, 2013
SC Blu Cat Lady, I'd wager that she doesn't care what the book of James, or any thing else in the Bible, says. My guess is that her "faith" is entirely a charade, her intent is to make TEO into something wholly other, much the way the current leadership of our government wants to do to this country. It's my opinion that her conscience was probably seared long ago.
January 31, 2013
To anyone honest with themselves, the voice of Satan is easily recognized in people like -KJS.
I'm afraid that I have at least one sister remaining in TEC, who has lost her soul to this voice.
January 31, 2013
Her comments are 'pastoral' just like the slightly flattened brownish patties about 12″ in diameter in the pasture in front of my cabin are…pure BS!
January 31, 2013
"Midwestnorwegian," I see what you did there with the minus in front of KJS. That was clever. And FWIW, I agree completely.
January 31, 2013
Agreed Chey. However that does not let her off the hook. If she claims to be a Christian but by the words she has spoken, we can easily understand what she really meant and see that she has deceived her own heart then the deception is hers- not ours- and that will have consequences.
Her words are only *thinly veiled* in the sense that she did not use any names. However, as a measure of deception, it has worked on some people (think her audience and the various blogs that agree with her) but obviously not everyone is buying it. Some of us are too smart for that.
January 31, 2013
There is a lot of judgmental commentary anent Katherine Jefferts Schori and her spiritual state. While I tend to agree with it, I would hesitate to make such a statement myself. I think she is in error. I will be praying for her conversion and redemption.
In the meantime, the quote from 2nd Timothy is most apt!
January 31, 2013
Hey is to Furrer, understand how you feel about the word "schismatic". I don't think that George Conger is using it in that sense, but rather more tongue-in-cheek. You know, as the progressives/reappraisers call those of us who don't want to follow them over the edge of the cliff.
January 31, 2013
That will teach me not to proof before I post! That first part was supposed to be Christopher. LOL. And thank God I proofed what I was writing just now!!
January 31, 2013
Nice little octopus ink-cloud they are squirting for Schori to escape in.
January 31, 2013
I would guess that Conger used "schismatic" because, that way, his post will turn up in the google searches of all the piskie HoBD types trying to find each other's clever blog entries. Assuming there is anyone on the HoBD who can still spell it.
Of course, we are all schismatics in so far as we have allowed our own pride and other fallibilities to divide us from the true Church founded by our Lord. However, if one studies the situation, the acts of the bishop and diocese of South Carolina have clearly been aimed at placing the diocese on a path back toward the Church Christ founded. While the path TEC is on obviously leads farther away.
January 31, 2013
The un-named spokesperson did not say Ashley's interpretation was wrong, he/she just said "she did not identify any group…" Which I think means "yes, she was denouncing Lawrence as a terrorist, but you can't sue for libel because the wording was cagey."
They are shameless – willing to neither stand by their words, nor repudiate them.
January 31, 2013
I'm surprised the PB hasn't yet blamed former President George W. Bush, just as many liberals in the media blame him for all manner of economic and societal ills. Perhaps that's next.
January 31, 2013
Well, she was talking about SOMEONE ! So, WHO was it ?
Will the unnamed/unknown spokesman/spokeswoman/spokestransgenered answer THAT?
January 31, 2013
This just in from Reuters: an image of the PB addressing the Continuing Episcopalians in South Carolina. Nice vestments.
January 31, 2013
Perhaps the dodgy spokesman … sorry, spokesPERSON … would be so helpful as to provide us the identity of that person or persons to whom the presiding bishop WAS ambiguously referring? As a resident of the South Carolina Lowcountry, I would be most grateful to know just who those local murderers, terrorists and armers-of-school-children are so I can avoid them at all cost.
January 31, 2013
Bryan Hunter,
The Shadow knows.
January 31, 2013
The only person who fit her description was standing in the pulpit making the speech. I alluded to this in my comment in the previous thread. You know the nasty comment about her hair style.
January 31, 2013
I suspect it is The Rev. Mary Frances Schjonberg who is the reporter/editor for most of the ENS stories. In an updated story, the inflammatory rhetoric was removed.
January 31, 2013
Oversteps? Hmmmm.
The alleged sometime Dean of a theological college (ha!)Overlooked a couple of canons didn't she when Duncan was deposed: no public abandonment, no 3 of 4 most senior bishops, no majority of all bishops entitled to vote…
And she also accepted non-existent letter of renunciation from Henry Scriven.
January 31, 2013
"Spokestransgendered." LOL! Thanks, Maxine Schell!
January 31, 2013
Bryan, perhaps she was referring to my co-religionists in the Diocese of Charleston. After all, everyone knows Catholics are sinister, shadowy figures and the bishop is (by his surname) of Italian descent and comes from Long Island, New York. Obviously Mafia connections, to go with the haughty proud princely prelatial demeanour of the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic church!
January 31, 2013
It occurred to me that if the presiding heretic blew a gasket over the events in South Carolina, I'd like to be a fly-on-the-wall if (when – prayerfully) she hears the Texas Supreme Court overturns the lower court and the (real) Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth is recognized as the owner of EDofFW corporation.
Should she refer to the collective members (us) as child killers she's going to have a bigger legal problem.
January 31, 2013
This is why I really don't have anything to do with folks in the mainline denominations any longer. No longer being Christians is part of it, but what is worse is the fundamental dishonesty. I really can't stomach it for very long before I just say, I gotta get out of here. I can have (and have had) more civil discourse with an honest atheist than with a duplicitous "progressive Christian."
January 31, 2013
Some confusion about the role of a spokesman here. A spokesman is an agent who speaks on behalf of someone. It is immaterial who the spokesman is, as they are speaking not for themselves but their employer. Unless this was a public news conference where they are somehow participating in the event — it is not my custom to name the spokesman. There are times when this does not hold true, but anonymity is the norm.
January 31, 2013
RC Charleston has some impressive statistics. (And not litigation expenses)
January 31, 2013
Schori didn't identify anyone in her sermon because the identity was crystal clear. It was a poisonous vicious thing to say.
January 31, 2013
I'm with Michael D. She doesn't have the basic decency to either stand by her words or repudiate them…or for that matter avoid such odious comments altogether.
January 31, 2013
Here's news from THE Diocese of SC:
TEc caved. I suspect someone told the KGB PB-ess that there were real laws in SC and not mere kanons.
January 31, 2013
I've walked through more then one pasture. Trust me her remarks are pastoral.
January 31, 2013
The injunction was consented to by Thomas Tisdale Jr. who signed it on behalf of The Episcopal Church.
Maybe finally TEC can be recognized as a paper tiger. No one ever bothered to be proactive. Bravo +Lawrence and protectors of the faith!
January 31, 2013
By Schori's standards her speech was pastoral.
Just like when the Mafia come around and pastorally advise you to pay protection money to prevent things getting broken.
January 31, 2013
George Conger,
Oh, come on, George…doesn't "spokesman" usually mean an "authorized" agent ?
Otherwise, I will speak for her.
So, whadda ya wanna know? Just ask.
February 1, 2013
Judge Judy would describe this dissimulation as "peeing on my leg and telling me its raining". She really must have a low assessment of the intelligence of her audience, and she wants to walk the world ecclesiastical stage as the leader of the "world wide" Episcopalian Church.
February 1, 2013
Shori's remarks might have been her clumsy and failed attempt to imitate Rowan Williams' subtlety, nuancing and obfuscating. She hasn't got the capacity to do it.
Or she may have been advised not to identify the targets of her accusations by an attorney. Lawyers, not Scriptures are definitely her closest advisors.
The truth is, her mind is so infected, distorted and darkened by progressivism, liberalism, rebellion against and contempt for the constraints of the Word/Law/Truth of Holy God, that she engages in psychological projection.
People with mental disorders and detachment from reality, continually cast on others their own character, values, intentions and actions. They end up speaking in opposites. They live in an alternate universe where good is evil and vice versa. A good example is the OWS and Obama crowd calling the TEA Party terrorists.
J. Stuart Little is right, the person in the South Carolina pulpit posing as a presiding bishop and church leader is the one most revealed in those remarks.
February 1, 2013
As for the Scripture Athanasius quoted, II Timothy 3:1 is appropriate, for many from Bishop to laity to blogger have tried II Timothy 2:24-26 (patient instruction, arguments, instruction, pleas and finally, consequences) for over a decade and to no avail.
It's time for anathema maranatha.
February 1, 2013
Thanks, Whitestone! WOW! Yes how appropriate and fitting for today's problems in ECUSA.
February 1, 2013
This is the "What? Oh, you thought I was talking about you? Why, does the shoe fit?" gambit.
God have mercy.
February 1, 2013
It's hard to imagine someone more cumbersome than Williams, so imitatijg him is its own un-reward, if that's a real word…Generally Anglican bishops aren't very eloquent.
February 1, 2013
Off-topic, sort of, but related to the topic of sociopaths: Cardinal Mahoney and Bp.Curry, his henchman, have been removed from public ministry by Abp. Gomez in LA. Life is good.
February 1, 2013
Gosh, FW Ken, Didn't know an Archbishop trumped (or could checkmate) a Cardinal.
February 1, 2013
Does this mean the Cardinal will not be allowed to vote at the next enclave?
February 1, 2013
In the sense of authority, in the Catholic hierarchy, a cardinal or an archbishop is just a bishop. The ranks of authority are priest, bishop, metropolitan bishop, prefect.
Gomez has been Metropolitan Archbishop of the diocese of Los Angeles for almost 2 years. Mahony is a retired bishop, without any legal authority whatsoever. Gomez has exercised his authority, rightly, to inhibit Mahony's activities within his diocese.
What Gomez cannot do is depose him from his offices or activities elsewhere in the Church. The Cardinalate is outside his authority. I'm not sure that anyone can remove a Cardinal from the College of Cardinals. Certainly it would require explicit and public abandonment of the Faith.
In 4 years or so Mahony will be ineligible to vote in any conclave.
February 1, 2013
Good for Bishop Gomez.
February 1, 2013
I have heard a YouTube song that ought to played when the PB speaks as she did …
It's the Russian service for the Sunday of Orthodoxy. Now more than ever …
February 1, 2013
Notice also how she fails to add the "required" *…or she* when on the attack. Femrads etc often find a new appreciation for the English language's commonsense masculine default when talking about deeds they consider dastardly, of course. But considered along with the occasion, that's a huge, screeching tell. And it ratchets up the offensiveness of her denial even more.
February 1, 2013
Sorry for this OT, Chris, but new issue of NR (dead tree) arrived today and there on the front is Special Agent Marshall LOL! She is rounder overall, and I don't have curly hair and of course am older, but overall the likeness is so strong I am going to have to ink-straighten/lengthen her hair and laminate this, to stick on the frig door. 2 funny & will clearly tell my Chicagoland/NEA by now-marinated relatives *Do not start with me*, and hubby loves it….What a week! New NRA t-shirts; fine video of Bibi schooling 0-ring last year; blue and white *Uzi Does It*, *Jew Jitsu*, and *I (heart) Israel* t-shirts to order, and now this… yes, we must laugh where we can these days right?! And
tomorrow is Candle Mass… when we smile.
February 1, 2013
Re Cardinal Mahoney: I haven't looked it up but I think that one can be a Cardinal without being ordained. If you are old enough to remember Jacques Maritain, then perhaps you will recall that there was a movement to make him a Cardinal
February 1, 2013
Only the pope can remove someone from the college of cardinals; the last time it happened was in 1927, the case of Louis, Cardinal Billot, SJ (1846-1831), whose support of "Action Francaise" led to his "resignation" as a cardinal.
February 2, 2013
the case of Louis, Cardinal Billot, SJ (1846-1831),
A man so old-fashioned, he died fifteen years before he was born.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist: you set it up so perfectly. Action Française made a fetish of living in the past; why shouldn't one of its most famous supporters die in the past?)
February 2, 2013
For some time now the College of Cardinals has been restricted to bishops, though of course the Pope could make an exception.
February 2, 2013
Oh dear, FW Ken. Cardinal Mahony has published a letter insisting that he did all he could in the sexual abuse cases and that graduate school had not prepared him to deal with the issue. This certainly justifies Bishop Gomez in censuring Mahony as he did. Yuck.
February 2, 2013
If memory serves, Cardinal Mahony is the one the investigating committee referred to as mafia-like in his resistance to the investigations.
Anyway, Abp. Gomez has come back with a statement that Card. Mahony and Bp. Curry are in good standing and able to minister without restriction. However, you might also notice both have canceled scheduled confirmations for which they were scheduled.
This is going to be subtle, but rough.
February 2, 2013
If I were a Catholic parent I would be unhappy about having my child confirmed by Mahony or Curry, having read about these reports. I do understand that the sins of the minister do not invalidate the sacraments, but really. They should quietly move out of public life. It's called penance, bishops.
February 2, 2013
Penance is, all too often, for the little people… but at least this phenom is in general much less worse in the RCC than in a lot of other bodies/denoms.
February 2, 2013
It's only going to get uglier in L.A., looks like. Now, Cardinal Mahony probably has a point about how, when he was doing his social work degree back in the 80s, he received no training about this and nobody talked about child abuse.
I remember the push in the early 80s in our neighbouring island for lowering the age of consent for everybody, gay and straight, to 14 and it wasn't all gay activists advocating this – though Peter Tatchell has since rowed back considerably on the following opinion he expressed in a letter to the newspapers in 1997:
"The positive nature of some child-adult sexual relationships is not confined to non-Western cultures. Several of my friends – gay and straight, male and female – had sex with adults from the ages of nine to 13. None feel they were abused. All say it was their conscious choice and gave them great joy. While it may be impossible to condone paedophilia, it is time society acknowledged the truth that not all sex involving children is unwanted, abusive and harmful."
Yes, folks, as recently as 1997. Social work courses in the 80s were probably full of the most up-to-date psychological theories and progressive notions, which wouldn't have touched with a ten-foot barge pole the notion of "criminality", let alone "sin". Everything was down to psychological trauma and maladjustment, and a course of therapy would set you all right.
That being said, once you are in a position of responsibility and you get credible, serious accusations of violent abuse, you do not shuffle the guy off to a therapist and even worse, encourage him not to tell the therapist about his sexual abuse of minors. And making that dig about Archbishop Gomez coming into the archdiocese in 2010 and being happy with how child protection was handled is not at all germane to the issue: this is not about the policies that have since been put in place, this is about what was done and more importantly left undone back in the 80s. Snide imputations of "You came in, you must have read the files, you never said anything" are just throwing dust in all our eyes.
Like I said, it's only going to get uglier.

Ahhh Fuinseoig, you bring up the ghost of Alfred Kinsey who brought us sex-ed in Kindergarten because children are sexual beings, dontcha know and can have some primitive idea of the "joy of sex" at a very early age.
You would think that even common sense would over-ride such nonsense, but I guess the goal of a college education is to educate the common sense right out of you.
February 3, 2013
While it may be impossible to condone paedophilia, it is time society acknowledged the truth that not all sex involving children is unwanted, abusive and harmful."
I disagree with this statement including the "may be" part. A child cannot give informed consent for sex any more than they can get a loan to buy a car. The first line of denial of the sexual predator is to say that the sex was consensual. This loss of innocence makes a child sexually precocious and they in turn recruit other children into sexual behavior. As a school psychologist, I saw this first hand.

Best comment so far:
Now that he's apologized for his mistakes, when will he apologize for his deliberate decisions.
February 3, 2013
Yes, FW Ken. They deliberately sent errant priests to therapists who could be counted on not to report the offenses to the police. They knew what had happened was wrong. No amount of rationalization about academic training can mask that, and no excuses are acceptable. Heartfelt apologies, yes; excuses, no.
February 3, 2013
Fuinseoig wasn't saying she agreed with Tatchell. Heck, it's pretty clear she disagreed (and still disagrees) strongly. Please reread her comment.
February 4, 2013
Ah, I don't think Dale was saying I agreed; I think he was saying Tatchell was talking out of his hat, which is what I agree with.
We had (indeed, still have) a genius Supreme Court judge who, back in 2006, decided in an appeal case (that of a young man who had sex with a 15 year old when he was 17 and was convicted of statutory rape) that statutory rape was unconstitutional. He persuaded a majority vote of the court on this, even though dissenters said that if that was so, then men sent to prison for paedophilia would appeal on the grounds of unconstitutionality.
Psh, tush and no way, says our new Solon. All this will do is mean that if you genuinely think she's 16 and you're 16 or 17 yourself, you won't be in danger of facing prison. Well, they declared the relevant law unconstitutional and yep, a guy convicted of having sex with a 12 year old girl appealed (on the grounds that, if the law was unconstitutional, it did not apply at the time and so he had committed no prosecutable offence) and the government had to rush in emergency legislation pretty damn quick to make sure the likes of him stayed locked up.
And this guy still has a job and is still considered one of our best and brightest, above the average peons and rednecks who aren't as progressive and sophisticated as we should be.

Your take on my comment is correct.

Cure/Inflict Wounds (3.5e Feat)
From D&D Wiki
< Cure
Cure/Inflict Wounds [Psychic][edit]
Prerequisite: , Psychic Healing
Benefit: This power can be used to heal injuries, or to cause harm. Either use requires touching the subject and a Heal skill check, with a DC that rises every time an attempt is made on that subject during the same day (by any psychic) as the subject's aura becomes progressively scrambled: the DC is 5 for the first attempt, and rises by 5 for each subsequent attempt. Curative spells will stabilize the aura and reduce the DC by 5 for a cure light wounds spell, 10 for a cure moderate wounds or mass cure light wounds, and 15 for a cure serious wounds: more powerful spells will "reset" the subject's aura completely. If successful, this power will cure or inflict damage at the rate of 1 hp per round for as long as you maintain concentration, up to a maximum number of rounds equal to your overall character level plus the subject's level plus your Wisdom modifier. The harmful version can be used on sleeping subjects without waking them, and if death ensues, it will appear to be due to natural causes (heart failure): this technique is sometimes used by psychic assassins. This power can also be used to repair temporary ability damage and fatigue, as the lesser restoration spell does. It cannot cure wounds and act as a lesser restoration at the same time.
Note: Related to The Gift: an Alternative to "Psionics" (DnD Variant Rule)

For some reason, us girls got a bit of a bad rap when it comes to driving – and especially when it comes to directions (even though it's the men in our lives that regularly get us lost and then flat-out REFUSE to ask for help).
Well, if you don't want to have to worry about that again, and want to understand the world of global positioning satellite technology (GPS), you are going to absolutely love all of the insider information that I have for you on this page!
I'm DD Sloane, and given my history of getting lost in the Big Apple, I think that I can really help you out.
Originally from Texas but now living in New York, I've pretty much needed a GPS every day of my adult life. Texas is so wide open (most of it, anyways) that it's almost impossible to navigate your way around with any certainty without having a GPS hooked up, and I that I don't have to tell you how confusing it can be to try and find things in New York without one!
I realized that most girls out there could probably use a little bit of help figuring out how to use GPS, how to buy the right GPS, and how to get the most out of this amazing technology, and that's why I have created this website.
We will cover the basics of GPS technology, and how GPS systems can help your business thrive.

Con-way Inc. (NYSE:CNW) delivered a profit and beat Wall Street's expectations, BUT came up short on beating the revenue expectation. The revenue miss is a negative sign to shareholders seeking high growth out of the company. Shares are up 0.14%.
Con-way Inc. Earnings Cheat Sheet
Results: Adjusted Earnings Per Share increased 1.52% to $0.67 in the quarter versus EPS of $0.66 in the year-earlier quarter.
Revenue: Decreased 4.5% to $1.38 billion from the year-earlier quarter.
Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Con-way Inc. reported adjusted EPS income of $0.67 per share. By that measure, the company beat the mean analyst estimate of $0.59. It missed the average revenue estimate of $1.45 billion.
Quoting Management: "Con-way Freight, our less-than-truckload company and largest business unit, is executing well against its key strategic initiatives of lane-based pricing and line-haul optimization," commented Stotlar. "Improved yield and network efficiencies overcame a slight decline in tonnage to deliver increased operating income in the quarter. We are on track with our initiatives and continue to expect year-over-year margin improvement in the second half of the year."

United KingdomBadugi, or Asian Poker as it is commonly known, is one of the newest variants of poker that is played in both offline and online casinos. Like Texas Hold'em and Omaha, Badugi is a draw poker game where the aim is to crate the lowest 4-card hand or Badugi.
Here, Badugi refers to a hand of different cards from different suites, where no two cards have the same suit or value. Six people can play this interesting, yet simple lowball game, which can be easily understood with a bit of practice.
Badugi can be limit, no limit, or pot limit game. The betting options in this game are the same as that of Hold'em or Omaha, fold, bet, call, raise, and check.
The game starts with the blinds, followed by three drawing rounds and betting rounds. In all other poker games, a player is given the dealer button or tag in the beginning of Badugi. This button keeps moving from player to player. Every player gets to be the dealer at least once.
The player to the left of the dealer is the small blind, and the player to the left of the small blind is the big blind. Like in other poker variants, the small blind is approximately half of the big blind. So in a £2/4 table, if the big blind is £2, small blind would be £1.
After the blinds are placed, each player is given 4 cards face down, and only a player knows the value of his or her cards. After the players receive their first four cards, the first round of betting begins.
A game of Badugi has three rounds each for drawing cards and betting: the drawing rounds, the betting rounds and the showdown. After the first round of betting, players can discard all or some of their cards and replace them with new cards. This means a player can have a hand with 4, 3, 2 or even 1 card, at any given point in the game.
In the drawing rounds, players have to discard cards of the highest value or of the highest suit if they have pairs, and replace them with the cards drawn. This process is repeated for the remaining two drawing rounds. Should there be insufficient cards at the last drawing round, the discarded cards can be reshuffled by the dealer and used for drawing fresh cards.
In case you have a winning hand, you can choose to keep your cards. This means that you don't have an obligation to discard or draw new cards in each round. Starting with the player to the left side of the dealer, the drawing round moves in a clockwise direction and ends with the dealer.
In Badugi, there is a round of betting after each card-drawing round. The first round of betting starts soon after the initial cards are dealt. Starting with the player to the left of the big blind, the betting round also moves in the clockwise direction. After each round, only the active players, will move on further in the game.
After the last betting round, the players have to reveal their cards to determine the winner. As per the evaluation system in Badugi, a hand with more number of cards automatically wins over the hands with lesser number of cards. This means a Badugi with a 4-card hand wins over the 3, 2 and 1 card hands.
If two or more players have the same number of cards at the end of the game, the player with the lowest valued cards becomes the winner. If there is only one player left after the last betting round he or she automatically becomes the winner.

John Elway: Rahim Moore had a "Traumatic Experience;" Champ Bailey Will Remain at Cornerback
March 1, 2013 – 5:35 am by Brad GagnonThere are questions surrounding the Denver Broncos secondary. Champ Bailey's getting up there in age and people have been talking about a potential move to safety, while former second-round pick Rahim Moore is probably still thinking about his colossal mistake in the playoffs against the Baltimore Ravens. But the team's executive vice president of football operations says things won't be changing much back there in 2013.
John Elway joined Evans and Klatt on KKFN in Denver to discuss free agency, the team's confidence in popular goat Rahim Moore and Champ Bailey's status at corner. He also noted that they haven't asked any veterans to restructure their contracts but wouldn't rule such a thing out.
On if they'll again approach free agency by handing out lots of one-year deals:
"I think we'll wait and see how it all goes. I think we do our study process right now and go through that, try to get all our ducks in a row and then kind of wait and see what happens. Once free agency opens, we kind of see what happens and what we can get done."
On the trouble Rahim Moore could have recovering after giving up a season-changing touchdown bomb in the playoffs against Baltimore:
"Obviously anytime anybody goes through that it's going to be a traumatic experience. But as I've said … that one play obviously sticks out, but that's not the only reason we lost that football game. Rahim made tremendous strides from his rookie year to last year and just misjudged that ball. It's going to be something we can work on."
On the possibility of moving Champ Bailey to safety:
"I don't think that's gonna happen. I think that's a rumor out there. I think the plan is right now to leave Champ at corner, and so we have not even discussed it. I know there's been some talk about that out there, but in this building there's not been any talk as far as moving Champ to safety."
On if they've considered asking Peyton Manning or any other veterans to restructure their contracts:
"Not right now. I think we're still going through the process. And if there's a need, then I'm sure that those guys will be wide open, if there was a need for us to come to them. But no, at this point in time we've not approached anybody."

Title | Influence of local soil and geologic site conditions on pseudo relative velocity spectrum amplitudes of recorded strong motion accelerations, 1987 |
Title (alternate) | Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 87-06 |
Type of alternate title | series |
Description | It is well recognized now that the soil and geologic site conditions modify the amplitudes and the duration of incident strong earthquake waves (Kanai, 1949,1957; Gutenberg, 1957; Duke, 1958; Medvedev, 1955; Tsai, 1969). This has been studied empirically (e.g. Trifunac 1971a,b; 1976a,b,c; 1978, 1979, 1980; Trifunac and Anderson 1977, 1978; Trifunac and Brady 1975a,b,c; Trifunac and Lee, 1978, 1979, 1987a,b; Trifunac and Udwadia, 1974; Trifuanc and Westenno, 1977, 1982; Udwadia and Trifunac, 1973 and Westenno and Trifunac, 1978) and theoretically (e.g. Moeen-Vaziri and Trifunac, 1987a,b; Trifunac, 1971, 1973; Wong and Trifunac, 1974 and Wong, et al. 1976). The overall effects of both soil and geological site conditions have been synthesized recently by Trifunac (1987).; One of the first studies which analyzed the effects of local soil conditions on the changes of the shape of the response spectrum has been carried out by Zhou (1965). This was followed by Seed et al. (1974, 1976), who analyzed. this effect quantitatively, by comparing the average spectrum shapes for four different classifications of the soil characteristics at the recording sites. The effects of the geological site characteristics were investigated by Gutenberg (1957) and by Trifunac (1976c).; The purpose of this report is to present an extension of the work of Trifunac (1987) to the scaling of the Pseudo Relative Velocity Spectra. Since the format of this work will follow closely that of Trifunac (1987), the reader may wish to peruse his results before proceeding to read this report. Furthermore, the reader will find many sections of this report to be repetitive in the format, style and details, as the reading progresses from Parts I into Parts II, III, IV and V. For completeness in presentation many equations and many plots have been repeated from one part of this work to the next. It was felt, however, that after the proper selection of the scaling models is done, some fine points, particularly some minor inconsistencies among different models might be "forgotten." Thus, every effort has been made to document all results, and to present all details as graphically as possible. The casual reader may wish, to glance over the end results, and to read the summary in Section V as well as the conclusions. The rest of this report should serve as a pictorial archive summary on the properties of our regression models for scaling the Pseudo Relative Velocity (PSV) response spectra, and may be helpful for the formulation of better regression models in future analyses. |

text: Camera Crew Catches Sleeping Driver Wake Up, Crash, FleeZac Estrada10/22/13 11:45amFiled to: Car Crashes1626EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Police in Atlanta are still trying to find a driver who, after being passed out behind the wheel of his truck, drove off and caused a pileup on a highway and then fled the scene. This strange scene was all caught on camera by a local news crew.AdvertisementWSB-TV spotted a Georgia Department of Transportation worker approaching a Ram 3500 blocking one of the lanes of the Buford Connector on Saturday. The driver was apparently passed out at the wheel, but there were no signs of intoxication. He wakes the man up and gets him orientated again.According to the police report, the man who saw the driver said he, "did not smell any odor of an alcoholic beverage, but the driver did, however, remind him of a diabetic."AdvertisementAfter the driver got upright at the wheel again, he starts up the truck and speeds off, initially keeping a straight line. But when he reached the next pocket of traffic he failed to stop in time. The driver appears to then hit the back of a BMW 3-series which got pushed into surrounding cars. In all, it resulted in a five-car pileup.But minutes after the crash, and with the keys to the Ram on the pavement, the driver leaps out of the truck and hobbles up a nearby hill – still clearly disoriented – jumps a fence and runs off. All while people caught up in this crash stand and watch. WSB reported the Ram had Maryland plates and police have few leads as to the identity and whereabouts of the driver.What's going on here? Is this another case of diabetic shock?

I have been infected with podcast mania.
Initially, I wasn't interested in podcasts. I'm reasonably modern: not afraid of computers, own an iPod, have played games on the Wii. But I often don't bother with whatever new thing has come around the bend; we're just so cluttered with stuff and media already. A lot of the time, I don't think I'm missing much. Sometimes, I feel like a dork later on when I discover how simple or helpful a new trend or technology turns out to be.
So I finally looked into podcasts. It seemed easy and interesting. In a lightning-flash of time a world of knowledge and opportunity opened up before me. Thanks to Barnes and Noble's Meet the Writers Podcast, I finally know how to pronounce Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk's last name. After listening to episode 98 of Grammar Girls' Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing —"For Whom the Grammar Tolls" — I have, for the first time in my life, a useful way to confidently choose between "who" and "whom."
And so I keep downloading more and more. My iTunes podcasts list grows (312 right now), and with its expansion my number of listened-to episodes drops. One day, I downloaded earfuls of sermons and faith-related podcasts. Today? History and biography.
Lots of podcasts are mediocre, and often you have to overlook the advertising and unnecessary musical interludes. But some are quite educational and interesting at the same time, or at least are good for a laugh. Following are some suggestions from a novice listener. I'm also including podcasts I look forward to enjoying sometime, but whose quality I can't vouch for just yet.
1. Stuff from back in the day, today! Listening to poems read aloud is more enjoyable than you might think, especially when the readers are British. I've tried, and enjoyed, Classic FM Love Poems, Classic Poetry Aloud and the Intro to Poetry Podcast.
Looking forward to: Some old radio shows, mostly Agatha Christie mysteries and sci-fi stories. The Classic Tales Podcast, featuring works by G.K. Chesterton, Robert Louis Stevenson and others. Some free LibriVox public-domain audiobooks.
2. Podcasts related to faith and theology. The Ask Pastor John series with John Piper addresses questions about topics from birth control to female pastors to using anti-depressants to Christian hope. I also like Renewing Your Mind with R.C. Sproul.
Looking forward to: The Albert Mohler Program with Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president, Albert Mohler, which offers "intelligent conversation about the issues that matter"; videos with Mark Driscoll and others at the Desiring God 2006 National Conference; the Mars Hill Church podcasts with Mark Driscoll; Desiring God sermons by John Piper; John Eldredge; Josh McDowell.
3. History and biography. Since these are all newly downloaded, they all go in the next paragraph.
Looking forward to: Ancient & Medieval History podcasts on Beowulf, Charlemagne, Pompeii & Herculaneum, and the Teutonic Knights. Various podcasts related to art history; British History 101 covering Tolkien and Guy Fawkes' Day, among others; Experience History with St. Valentine's Day, Who Was Chaucer? as topics. Great Speeches in History with the likes of "I Have a Dream," and "Television is a Vast Wasteland". The Biography Podcast – Stories of Life has provided biographies of J.K. Rowling, Vlad the Impaler, Jesus of Nazareth, Martin Luther and Santa Claus.
4. Popular culture. Stephen Colbert is funny in character as he reads excerpts from I Am America (And So Can You!) in the iTunes' Meet the Authors podcast. It's a treat to hear him answer questions as his normal self afterward. NPR's Movies and NPR's Pop Culture offer reviews, light stories and more thoughtful looks at their chosen subjects. The Official LOST Podcast works well when executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse talk about the show and answer viewers' questions, and crack each other up.
Looking forward to: Barnes and Noble's Meet the Writers Podcast with Dave Barry and Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy. Also, Books from the Guardian podcasts with Philip Pullman and celeb-atheist Richard Dawkins and Bono's 2005 interview in The Rolling Stone podcast.
5. Other useful information. Thanks to The Word Nerds, I now know that the British expletive "bloody" doesn't originate from a reference to the blood of Christ. Whew. Coming up someday when I take the time to listen: rhetoric! religious words! synonyms!
Looking forward to: The Metropolitan Museum of Art Special Exhibition Podcast and some photography-related podcasts from National Gallery of Art-Behind the Scenes. Writing Excuses that features a fantasy novelist, a cartoonist and a horror writer discussing writing techniques. NPR's Intelligence Squared, featuring excerpts from a debate about a particular topic such as "Global Warming is Not a Crisis," with three panelists for the motion and three against. I've listened to part of that episode; I look forward to hearing the opinions about the question, "Is America Too Damn Religious?"
6. For fun, for real. I've tried out a few "funny" podcasts — The Soup Video Podcast, and The Onion News Network. Both were OK, but not keepers. (When you have an ever-growing podcast list waiting, you have to thin some out.) One of my first podcast subscriptions is a funny one, and it's a keeper for sure: The Rhett&LinKast. I should confess that I met Rhett on a Campus Crusade for Christ summer project, so you may consider me biased. But watch these episodes for yourself: "the Dead iPod Song", "the Halloween Controversy debate", "the Facebook song" and you'll find that The Rhett&LinKast is clever, well-executed and will often make you laugh out loud, if you know what I mean.
I know these are just the tip of the iceberg, of course. Like everything else that's grown exponentially with the DIY nature of the Internet, the unruly crowd of podcasts available on iTunes and elsewhere waits hungrily to be picked through more thoroughly. I'd like to hear about what tasty things you've discovered out there. Leave your suggestions in the comments below.

Gospel Singer and Pastor Marvin Sapp Speaks Out on the New Preacher's Wives Reality Show!
Gospel Singer and Pastor Marvin Sapp Speaks Out on the New Preacher's Wives Reality Show!
There are some recording artists, leaders and some viewers who are speaking out against "The Sisterhood," a reality series that premiered on TLC Tuesday, Jan.1. Singer and pastor Marvin Sapp happens to be one of them.
Gospel singer and Pastor Marvin Sapp released a short video on Wednesday, Jan. 2 detailing his thoughts about the show . The singer admitted he had to pray on the issue and if he would speak out about the show which actually offers positive and negative feedback on the Atlanta pastor's wives reality show, "The Sisterhood".
"Let's pray for those who are on the show, as the show begins to move forward, that there is some discernment and discretion that comes forth. Why? Because there are certain things that the world does not need to see, know and understand about the church." According to the video at Social Cam and Joy105.com, Sapp said this after comparing the women to a pig with a ring in its nose, citing Proverbs 11:22.
"What God was saying is the ring of gold in a pig's nose wouldn't be seen as pretty because of the filth that most pigs live in. It (the ring) would be non recognizable very, very quickly and it would become soiled beyond recognition and this is the way God feels about a woman that is not discrete and does not take the time to learn to act responsibility," said Sapp. "Am I saying these women do not act responsibly? No. What I am saying is that until we get delivered from some things, we need to learn how to be discrete."
So, the question is: is there anything good coming out of this new reality show? Marvin Sapp replies:
"The reason they judge us is because of their ignorance of the scripture. If they would just read scripture, they would understand that some of the issues that they see on television, as it pertains to the first ladies, are some of the same issues that were in the church in the beginning, during the times with Peter, Paul and Jesus," Sapp said at the close of his video response Wednesday.

But capturing a true portrait can explore character and reveal a person's essence in a manner that no other format can. This week, you will master the portrait.The ChallengeTake a portrait of someone. This should not be a spontaneous candid, but a planned model shoot. It cannot be a self-portrait either. The challenge is to work with someone else and capture a portrait of them.The TechniqueNow, I'm biased. I should say that, while glamour portrait photography has its place in the commercial sphere, I find it utterly boring in terms of studying a subject.AdvertisementAdvertisementSo ditch the traditional soft lights that smooth a person's skin to pearlesque textures. Everything you do should accentuate detail and intricacy, the flaws that make them unique.Don't be afraid to use a tripod and turn off your image stabilization system (some IS systems can actually blur photos when on a tripod).You may also want to minimize depth of field to help your subject pop from a blurry background. That means open up your aperture to put less of the image in focus...but keep in mind that most lenses aren't at their sharpest when most open. It's worth googling a bit to check with your exact setup.SponsoredIf you'd like to read more, and there's a ton on the subject, here's an uber roundup of tips.The ExampleSo our lead shot is technically a crop while I'm hoping to see a lot of full faces in the submissions. But ericmcgregor's flickr set The Shave doesn't back away from its subject, accentuating details (appropriately) down the the hair.The Rules1. Submissions need to be your own. 2. Photos must be taken since this contest was announced (read more on that above). 3. Explain, briefly, the equipment, settings, technique and story behind shot. 4. Email submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com, not me. 5. Include 970px wide image (200KB or less) AND a 2560x1600 sized in email. I know that your photo may not fall into those exact high rez dimensions, so whatever native resolution you're using is fine. 6. One submission per person. 7. Use the proper SUBJECT line in your email (more info on that below) 8. You agree to the Standard Contest Rules - though we DO accept non-US resident submissions. 9. If the image contains any material or elements that are not owned by you and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and/or if any persons appear in the image, you are responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the photograph, any and all releases and consents necessary to permit the exhibition and use of the image in the manner set forth in these rules without additional compensation. If any person appearing in any image is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.AdvertisementSend your best photo by Monday, May 9th at 8AM Eastern to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Portrait" in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs, and use a FirstnameLastnamePortraitjpg (970px wide) and FirstnameLastnamePortraitWallpaper.jpg (2560px wide) naming conventions. Include your shooting summary (camera, lens, ISO, etc) in the body of the email along with a story of the shot in a few sentences. And don't skip this story part because it's often the most enjoyable part for us all beyond the shot itself!Mark Wilson is the founder of photography blog Life, Panoramic and Philanthroper, a daily deal site for nonprofits.Reply38 repliesLeave a reply

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Livebearers
- - Umm, most of my fish are dying? What should I do?
Umm, most of my fish are dying? What should I do? I don't know how this started. It seems like my fish tank has gone under. It seemed like after the pregnant females that I didn't know were ever pregnant, had their fry.. they were acting kind of funny. Next thing I know, the one disappeared out of the tank... Assuming she died and got eaten or sucked up into the filter. So I transferred my other yellow female into the birthing tank. And she died... Then I found my gorgeous black tailed male stuck to the filter. He died.. Then yesterday I saw the rest of the fish weren't very active and just kind of sitting at the top of the tank. I thought maybe it was ammonia in the tank or something from the dead fish? So I transferred them all to my big 30 gallon. And the females to my birthing tank. This morning I went to check on them and my black and yellow female died. The male with orange and black spotted tail died.. my yellow male, stupid expensive $10 show guppy male and blue male are not looking good... The only ones looking alright are my red male, my lyretail male and a few females in the birthing tank. What should I do about the main tank? I did a water change but is there something else I should do besides that.. ? |
I'm pretty new around here, but I've been around long enough to know that the first thing people with more experience are going to want to know are what are your water parameters (pH, Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite & Temp at a minimum). |
+1 Lee Also everyone will want to know how long all the tanks have been "up and running" and what/ if anything you add to the water , i.e.chemicals to raise/lower ph and what you use to remove chlorine from your tap water. How frequently you do water chanages, and if you quarantine your fish when you bring them home from the store. Do you see any white spots on the fish that kind of look like sand? Or can you see any abnormalities anywhere on the fish before they die? |
If you can answer everything cmc29 said as well as any other additional info, it'll help us help you. |
omg i hope u find whats wrong cause u have really nice guppies! |
=[ awww sorry to hear. to add on to what everyone else said, take the temperature of the tank... sometimes heaters break... |
So it kind of disappoints me that out of no where my tank took a turn for the worse. Everything was fine until one day... then they all just started acting funny. I do a water change once a week. There's a thermometer in my tank, and the temperature is fine. The heater is practically new. There is no ick. My fish have never gotten it.. Also, my tank has been up and running for over two months. When doing water change I add a conditioner that removes chlorine and makes tap water safe.. and I add a little bit of stress zyme? if that's what it's called.. |

This made me wonder what the reaction would be if Microsoft bought Wired.com.
Forever Peace, by Joe Haldeman, is, in part, about connecting people with an interface that could be like the gaming interface of the future. Forget about joy stick controllers, Wii tennis, and other mechanical apparatus. Why not just connect people directly through their nervous systems? If we all shared our thoughts this way, what would be the implications?
I found the first season to be really boring and when one summarizes the plot, I think that might become clear. I found the second to be unrelentingly depressing since not a single character had any substantial redeeming qualities.
I think this is a big deal. Who really believes that outsourcing technology operations to India and China does not have a long-term consequence? With time, India and China will become innovators -- if they have not already. Reportedly, China has already built the world's second-fastest supercomputer, and is fabricating its own chips (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/01/science/01compute.html).
Imagine, now, young people thoughout the world writing software. What platform would they choose? If I was growing up in India and had an accessible computer for $35, I probably would not want to pay a whole lot more for a Windows computer.
Maybe this tablet does not quite have it right, technologically. But it is a step forward and an indication of intention on the part of the Indian government.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it was legal precedent that copyright protections did not apply to satire.
Nessus provides and interesting example. The software itself is free, but you can buy knowledge modules.
So, Suppose a particular free package supports knowledge modules. These could be simple tables, scripts, whatever. A package like Nessus could even support its own programming language, perhaps even to the extent of LISP on Emacs. One can purchase them, and when purchasing them, they can buy a susbcription for updates. (For that matter, one could even purchase anti-virus signatures that destroy computers, but that is another story.)
So, the software is free, but the data isn't. Would scripts that run within a particular package constitute software that, by imnplication, would be free, or data that one would pay for?
How are cybersecurity experts really trained? In universities? Private industry is on the cutting edge of computing, not academia.
So, what about private industry? Would anyone really want their son, daughter, nephew or niece to to go into any field that would prepare them to be cybersecurity experts? Outside of jobs that require security clearances, it seems that there is a pretty good chance of getting offshored or at least oursourced. Who wants that kind of job security?
Funny, despite all the comments universities, when earning an "advanced" degree in computer science (where many of the students could not program their way out of a wet paper bag), the US government gave me no tax breaks whatsoever with the hefty tuition. In my case, I did not overly care, but in general, the incentives for earning academic credentials in computer science seem somewhat limited.
VMS is like a nightmare about RXS-11M.

text: The Star Trek Influence In Your GamesMike Fahey2/03/10 9:30pmFiled to: Star Trek OnlineStar trek weekmass effect 2Space questWorld of WarcraftOriginalTop841EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Star Trek is as much a staple of geek culture as gaming, so it's no surprise that it's influence has shown up in countless video games over the years. What's your favorite Star Trek video game reference? Advertisement Video games have been around a little bit longer than Star Trek, so the 1966 television series isn't able to claim influence over 1962's Spacewar!, but countless titles have felt the influence of the beloved science fiction franchise over the past 44 years.Some of my favorite references to Star Trek are found in Sierra's Space Quest adventure game series. Space Quest V: The Next Mutation had the series' space janitor protagonist Roger Wilco cheats his way through the final exam at StarCon academy, later having to deal with a Commander and blatant Kirk homage named Raemes T. Quirk. The next game in the series, Space Quest 6: The Spinal Frontier, featured a feline commander of the SCS DeepShip 86 who spoke like Captain Jean-Luc Picard actor Patrick Stewart. Advertisement World of Warcraft is littered with pop culture references, from a selection of Dax hosts in the Draenei staring area (Curzon, Tobin, Emony, and Audrid inside the Exodar), to Jhordy Lapforge, a gnome engineer within Gadgetzan.Even BioWare's most recent hit, Mass Effect 2, isn't safe from the Trek references, from arguably attractive blue ladies to a Scottish engineer on board a major ship (see? I avoided spoilers!) And if you find yourself on level 28 of the Citadel, be sure to stop by the bar for a drink. *wink wink*I could go on and on, but this post isn't for me to show off what a giant dork I am. It's for you folks to discuss your favorite Star Trek references, either direct or implied, that you've come across during your gaming days. Sponsored I just took some of the best ones. Your turn!
