(If you're interested in words in general & not just how they relate to politics, I recommend the whole essay, which can be found
Here. It takes a while to get going, but once it does it's very good)
In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenseless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements. Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them. Consider for instance some comfortable English professor defending Russian totalitarianism. He cannot say outright, "I believe in killing off your opponents when you can get good results by doing so." Probably, therefore, he will say something like this:
"While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigors which the Russian people have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement."
The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as "keeping out of politics." All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.
A few clicks & scrolls on www.whitehouse.gov showed the following:
The President's proposed standard deduction for health insurance will reform the tax code to make private health insurance more affordable and to level the playing field so those who buy health insurance on their own get the same tax advantage as those who get health insurance through their jobs. For those who remain unable to afford coverage, the President's Affordable Choices Initiative will help eligible States assist their low-income and hard-to-insure citizens in purchasing private health insurance.And just for fun:
President Bush's top priority is the safety and security of the American people. Though America and its allies are safer since 9/11, we are not yet safe. We have important challenges ahead as we wage a long-term battle not just against terrorists, but against the ideology that supports their agenda.
"The men and women of the Coast Guard know how to navigate the storm. We're counting on you to help America weather the challenges that lie ahead. As you begin your Coast Guard careers, you can approach the future with confidence, because our nation has faced dangerous enemies before, and emerged victorious every time. Terrorists can try to kill the innocent, but they cannot kill the desire for liberty that burns in the hearts of millions across the earth. The power of freedom defeated the ideologies of fascism and communism in the last century, and freedom will defeat the hateful ideologies of the terrorists in this century."President George W. Bush
May 23, 2007
The Federal government will continue to provide assistance and guidance, but the people of the Gulf Coast and their elected leaders must drive the effort to rebuild their lives and their communities.
"The law allows our intelligence and law enforcement officials to continue to share information. It allows them to continue to use tools against terrorists that they used against -- that they use against drug dealers and other criminals. It will improve our nation's security while we safeguard the civil liberties of our people. The legislation strengthens the Justice Department so it can better detect and disrupt terrorist threats. And the bill gives law enforcement new tools to combat threats to our citizens from international terrorists to local drug dealers."

This is dedicated to my son...
Trisomy 18 is a genetic mutation of the 18th chromosome. Instead of the normal two chromosomes (one from mom, and one from dad), there is a third chromosome that forms. This disorder causes many congenital defects in the child and a severe to profound developmental delay. Children diagnosed with this disorder usually do not make it past a couple of months of age or they miscarry before their birth.
Now a little about me. I'm a 24 year old woman expecting my first child. I was thrilled and shocked to find out I was pregnant because I'm not married and I was definitely not trying to get pregnant. I'm one of those people who rolls with the punches, so I got over my initial emotions and focused on my baby. The father was excited at first, but the relationship wasn't working. He decided to leave me behind with his child. After some time, I got over to the fact that I was going to be a single mother and started looking forward to the future I was going to have. I moved home with my parents to get back on my feet, and they have been nothing short of amazing to me and my child.
My story truly begins on October 7, 2008. My local doctor had me get an ultrasound to check the anatomy of my baby. After 2 ultrasounds with my local doctor, they told me that my little pumpkin was measuring small and it was a concern for them. The doctor was supposed to come and talk to me, but she was unable to discuss anything with me. The office scheduled my appointment at Magee Women's Hospital for the next Tuesday so that I could have a Level II ultrasound. I asked my mother to go with me because I had concerns of my own and didn't want to go alone. She agreed.
That day, we drove to Pittsburgh and had lunch like it was a normal day. I signed in and waited patiently for my turn on the table. The ultrasound technician came in and went about her normal business. She didn't talk much the whole time. I was sitting there with my mother for over an hour before she said she needed to get the doctor to discuss some things with me. The doctor returned and started his screening.
After several painfully quiet minutes, the doctor looked at me and asked, "Why were you sent here today?" I responded by telling him the doctors at home told me my baby was small. He continued by saying, "Ok, well we have a number of concerns here. We're going to start at the top and work our way down."
He showed me my baby's brain and told me it wasn't developing properly. Next was the heart and showed me the hole in the two bottom chambers. His bowels came next and they are twisted. He then showed me his feet are clubbed and his hands are clenched. He then concluded with, "All of this put together leads us to believe that your child has a trisomy condition. I'm sure you've heard of Trisomy 21, which is Down Syndrome. This one is called Trisomy 18 which is like Down Syndrome, but it's much, much worse." Instantly, I turned to my mother and burst into tears. He told me that he was going to send me to the echocardiologist to look at my baby's heart to see how bad the hole in his heart was. Then, I was to meet with a genetic counseler to discuss what Trisomy 18 really was and what I was to do next. After that, I was going to go back to the ultrasound room to have an amniocentisis done to confirm the results.
The echocardiogram showed that there was a definite hole in the heart, but it was fixable. The genetic counselor informed me further about the disorder. She told me everything that I had listed in the first paragraph. Following that, I went for the amnio and was told that I would get the results in two days, but they would try to let me know sooner what the results were.
My mother and I left the hospital, shocked and angry about they whole day. I wondered who to blame, who to hate, what to do next. I knew I had to carry to term because I was 33 weeks. I knew I would never have gotten an abortion anyway because of my beliefs. I knew the baby shower was scheduled for that Saturday and I knew I had to inform everyone about what was going on. My mother and I called people for the rest of the week and let them know what was happening and I even wrote a blog on Myspace.
I decided to do this blog because it will be specifically about Trisomy 18, my experience and my newfound crusade to push for the education of this. I had no idea this disorder existed and I've taken child development courses throughout my education. So now, I've decided that this and all Trisomy disorders need to be in child development books and there needs to be better education for health professionals and parents alike so that people will know how to deal with this devastating diagnosis.
This blog is dedicated to Caleb Alex. I spent 8 months planning a future with him, and now I'm spending the last month of my pregnancy trying to make sense of everything that is going to happen now. This blog is dedicated to the mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and siblings that have ever had to deal with this horrible diagnosis. Our children will not have suffered or died in vain.

This is a powerful thing you are doing and I wish you, Caleb and your family the very best. It must have been a terrible shock for you and I am amazed you have turned that around to be so positive so quickly.
Earlier this year I had a scan at 11 weeks and was told the baby was gone, I had miscarried, and I found that fairly devastating. With help and support I have come to terms with it so I am glad to hear that your family is there for you.
Please do what you can to bring this to people's attention. I had no idea about Trisomy 18 and I consider myself pretty well read. And I hope it will give you some comfort to know that you are helping others, too.
Nothing is set in stone for you or Caleb so we can hope for the best. Thank you for sharing your experiences. May the road rise up to meet you.

Wow. This is powerful stuff, and thank you for being brave enough to share your experiences. If more people would talk openly about the hurdles they encounter in life, I think everyone would have a better understanding of what we all go through, and how to deal with whatever adversities we meet.
Best wishes, and thanks again on behalf of everyone else who needs to know that they're not alone in their challenges -- which is all of us.

Hey linds,
I wanted you to know you and Caleb are on the prayer lists and we are hoping for the best for you all. I have Lupus and a clotting disorder which cause me to miscarry 5 times by the time I was your age.
I dont know how I made it through I guess it was faith and a good support system. I found that nothing can happen to you that you cant make it through. I wish you peace and KNOW that nothing will ever happen to you that you cant get through. You are the voice for this baby growing inside of you and for the other families who must also walk a mile in your moccisans. May God bless you and Caleb Our prayers are with you

Mecum Maseratis, Dallas 2016
The Maserati gods were smiling upon me at the last Mecum auction. A very rare 4.9 liter 1969 Ghibli spyder along with a 1975 Bora were both up for sale. What a painful time to be poor. The Ghibli was the star of the show with an estimated price of around a million. The market for these Spyders is climbing but they usually go for a fraction of that price. The engine must be the difference in this case.
While the Ghibli had had a first class restoration done on it the Bora was a bit tired with some wear and tear showing on the interior. I thought the $160,000 reserve price was way optimistic. $125,000 would have been a good price for that car. I saw Wayne Carini put a Bora up for auction and he overpriced it too. People just don't appreciate them and that's fine with me. Keep my fake hope alive!
Of course, there were some other fine examples present. Those who will recall the early days of Miami Vice will remember Crockett drove a Ferrari Daytona (it was fake). Here we have the real deal, will probably fetch around three quarters of a million.
"It's a doozy!" That phrase came from the great Duesenberg line of cars. Pictures don't so this car justice. Just blows you away in person, absolute work of art.
This Aston Martin Vulcan is a glorious beast. Only 24 to be built with a price tag of 2.3 million.
This Lincoln Limo really killed me. I'd have a blast with this car, something straight out of The Godfather. Car was a steal far as I was concerned.
The cost of buying a classic supercar does not end with the purchase. The maintenance on these high-strung creations comes with a steep bill and is one reason why you see so many low mileage examples running around even years later. Here's an invoice detailing some of the work done on the Bora. These kinds of costs are typical.
To find out how the auction went for the two Masers, see the videos below.

Objective of the study
The objective of the study was to investigate what are the impacts of the global financial crisis on Islamic banking system and how Islamic bank spared from the current global financial crisis. To understand the issue some important sub questions were investigated such as the differences between Islamic and conventional banking model, modes of financing by the Islamic bank, differences in corporate governance and how Interest-free banking system works in general. Data and research method
For the theoretical part of the research, books, academic research papers and organization's homepages were used as sources. The empirical part of the study is a qualitative and is based on open-ended questionnaire complemented with semi-structured interviews from two fully sharia compliant Islamic and two conventional bank's Islamic window managers who make investment decisions in their banks. The study is qualitative and descriptive in nature and investigates how things are rather than suggesting how things should be. All 6 senior Islamic bank managers have been interviewed.
The result indicates that Islamic banks are more resilient than conventional banks in the face of the global financial crisis. Because modes of financing and corporate governance of Islamic banking are different from those of conventional banking, this assisted the IBs to spare from the current global financial crisis. Factors that enabled the Islamic banks to shield form crisis were seen as asset backed financing; avoiding speculation and debt selling; avoiding invest in toxic assets and the use of profit and loss sharing mode of financing.
Keywords: Islamic Banking (IB), Conventional Banking (CB), Sharia Compliance, and Islamic Investments.

Oh SpongeBob, you've done it again. You've taught Dayton another phrase he's been stuck on the whole weekend. And when Dayton starts repeating a phrase over and over, trying to explain the phrase is futile, as well as frustrating.
Echolalia, for those of you not familiar with it, is similar to a skipping record. For those of you too young to remember what a record is, that's similar to a scratched CD. For those of you that don't know what a CD is, I suggest you see your doctor, because if you can read this and don't know what a CD is, I'm fairly certain you have alzheimer's.
Dayton's spurts of echolalia typically come about when he's super upset with me, and it seems to be he's been upset with me a lot this weekend. Now why, you may ask yourselves, is my babe upset with me, I mean, I'm so wonderful and all...
I grounded his butt. And if he doesn't smarten up, I'm gonna be grounding him for life.
My babe's decided not to do work at school. Furthermore, he refuses to go to the gym for assemblies, and figures he can swear at his gym teacher and get away with it. It certainly doesn't help my mood that his teacher put me in my place while speaking to her by phone and telling her that I'm not sure if Dayton and his new aid are a good fit, as he often comes home complaining about her; I said it in front of Dayton and she chastised me for it, rightfully so. I know it wasn't the smartest move on my part, but I don't get the privilege of privacy in a 900 sq. foot home, especially when I'm grounding his sorry, bony, little butt.
I refuse to believe Dayton's acting out because I've gone back to the work force. It's just not an option - I must work, not only for the cash, but my sanity. I need some adult interaction in my life, and I need to feel I have a purpose in my life. Yes, I would definitely be busy enough with PACE and blogging, but I need more in my life than autism. I need some normalcy in my life too. There needs to be some balance.
Either way, my boy's decided to question authority, and not in a polite way. So, I decided to take away his playstation for the weekend and ground him for a week. No playstation, and no friends for the rest of the week... Puts me in a delicate situation this Tuesday night for PACE's kid gymboree, but I'll figure something out. Maybe he won't be allowed to bring his hockey stick or something... I'll sleep on it.
So, the boy's been repeating the phrase 'What's the worst that can happen,' which he heard on SpongeBob, and he's been doing it all weekend long.
"Dayton, eat your supper please."
"What's the worst that can happen?"
"Dayton, please clean your room."
"What's the worst that can happen?"
"Dayton, clean up your mess please."
"What's the worst that can happen?"
"Dayton, time for bed."
"What's the worst that can happen?"
He doesn't just say it once, he says it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again! It's enough to make me want to pull my hair out. I haven't bothered to take my blood pressure, I know it's been high. No sense in beating a dead dog there. (I don't dare say that out loud).
Yeah... started Thursday after school and I'm praying to God it ends tonight, because I'm really not sure how much more I can take before I resort to self medicating myself. And Dayton's SpongeBob pillow... well, let's just say that there was a little, tiny accident...
Here's praying for a good week ahead. Consider yourselves hugged,

There are a lot of everyday things that we take for granted that we might be better off questioning. At least, that's the conclusion I've come to after several days stuck alone with my own thoughts. Like the laundromat. I mean, it's a great idea in theory, but then again, so was communism…
Don't get me wrong, I don't really have anything against the laundromat. Personally, I don't know what I'd do without it, but I can't possibly be the only one who finds it a little weird that there is a public place where people literally go to air their dirty laundry. I don't know about you, but I was raised with the idea that somebody should buy me dinner or at least a drink before they see my underwear, and here I am showing off my best drawers with nothing to show for it? Never mind the fact that they probably don't smell so fresh from last night's run, it's the principle of the matter!
But it's not just my own laundry that makes me uneasy. Well, okay, yes it is, but it's mainly other people's</i. interaction with my laundry. See, I'm not sure if it's just the laundromat I go to or if it's like this everywhere, but without fail, by the time I make it back to the washer or dryer to switch my clothes out (which haven't been done any longer than three minutes, mind you) someone has already moved them. Well, not so much moved them… moved them implies a kindly gesture. No, it's more like an unceremonious dumping on the nearest bacteria-ridden and lint-covered dryer.
But that's not even the thing. See, maybe I'm weird or overthinking it, as I'm known to do, but in order to move my clothes, that means some stranger is touching my underwear. Yes, we're back to the underwear thing. Call me crazy, but I'm one of those fundamentalists that believes in the sanctity of boxer briefs. You don't touch my shamrocks and we won't have any problems.
Sadly, etiquette or common decency don't seem to reign supreme in a place where mismatched sweats and sweat-stained undershirts run rampant. Still, until I hit it big and can afford my own washer and dryer, or even my own laundromat (that's right, I dream big), i'm sorta out of options. So if the Polish lady who runs the laundromat by my house is reading this, I'll be seein' you next Sunday.

A Briefing on Whats at Stake for Immigrant Communities and Communities of Color - Tuesday, March 2
What is net neutrality? What is broadband access and adoption? Why should your audiences care about these issues?
Here are three reasons why:
Do they make international phone calls using the Internet?
Do they purchase consumer goods online?
Do they search for information, jobs or register for schools online?
Internet policy questions may seem too removed from the daily lives of ordinary citizens; yet fierce battles over who controls the Internet are being waged around the country, the outcomes of which will affect our quality of living for decades to come.
As the business of conducting our lives is increasingly done online, keeping the Internet open and accessible has become a critical concern among policy and law makers, community and media advocates, new media producers, artists and others. Massive efforts by telecommunications companies to impose a restrictive pay-for-play business model that would result in discriminatory access to the Internet have gone virtually unreported outside of the trade media.

text: UPDATE: Nevermind. Figured it out -- the key was NOT to put JFK in the route. Hi all, I have a trip to BDL in a few months that I would prefer extra segments because it would give me more miles and actually cheaper than the 1-stop route via DTW. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to book it on DL.com. I found this using ITA Matrix: RIC-JFK-CLT-DTW-BDL-ATL-RIC 6/26 - 7/1 for $598 But when I plug those dates and cities into DL.com multi-city, the price came out to ~$1300. Am I doing something wrong or is ITA wrong? Thanks. Ed

For one magical night students from St. Robert were treated to Parisian sights and sounds at the annual semi-formal held on November 26, 2015. Almost 300 students converged at the Royalton which was transformed into the City of Lights for a themed evening of 'Une Nuit à Paris'.
Decked out in fancy frocks and sophisticated suits those in attendance were treated to a bountiful dinner and French inspired crêpes, with twinkle lights and the Eiffel Tower in the background.The festivities culminated with an energetic dance party shortly after the Dance Club entertained the crowd with their skills. The evening also featured outstanding musical presentations from a number of our students.
For those not inclined to get their 'groove on', there was a photo booth to capture all the memories. Merci to the Student Council as it was truly an unforgettable night. Au revoir belle Paris!

Last week, though busy, was so much easier as I worked normal hours. Today is the second weekend that I've not had to work all weekend. I do have to do into one client and get a couple of things done. I had to ask Client 1 for some forbearance so that I could work on Client 2's 'stuff' that was urgent.
I helped with a dog run yesterday—meaning I gave a hand rather than drive. I'm glad I gave a hand, they needed it. Now that we are in the hot/humid months of VA, it is hard work….and hard on the animals too.
Last evening we were invited to a birthday party for a dog—Gilly. His owners are a lovely young couple. Mark works at the same school as the wife who is an art teacher their. They are both outgoing and very active people. Part of the invitation was to bring a dog. We elected to bring Macy our American Bulldog mix.
There was quite a mix of dogs there. Gilly's two brothers were there. They were part German Short-haired Pointer and Lab—a good looking set of fellows with the GSP coloring and the lab disposition. There were Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, and a cornucopia of other breeds. Jackie had a professional photographer there, so hopefully I'll see some pics. I didn't take my own camera, so I've nothing to share.
All the animals got along terrifically, and I was proud of Macy. She was a little nervous at first, but not frightened. It was a lot of fun, and I was glad that we were able to take Macy out. As we live where our dogs can get plenty of exercise, I don't have to take them out to other places.
I finally converted my husband's old SEP IRA into a brokerage account. The mutual fund model for investing just doesn't make any sense for my investing style. I've kept his money safe in the bear market. I elected to put 1/2 in the FHKCX at the buy point noted above.
I sold on the gap up—I just saw so many of the sector charts stopping dead in their tracks, I didn't want to press my luck. His account is already up 25% for the year just on two positions. To EXIT this position, I had to pay a short term redemption fee.
From a technical perspective, I've sold a position showing obvious strength. I may have overthought the position and have let my bias get in the way with chart work. There are no volumes on mutual funds, so let's look at a proxy—FXI
I try to pay attention to volume, and more importantly divergences. While stock prices can fall merely on their own weight, volume is needed to propel a stock upwards. This volume pattern is a bit of a conundrum to me. Why? Because the volume now is QUITE heavy relative to the earlier rise in this ETF. I expect a pull back, and I'll likely re-enter, but I wanted to preserve some profits. NOw, I'd like to show you something dumb ass that I did…..
Here's an 11 cent stock that I bought. See that massive spike. Somehow, while I was at work that day, I was compelled to check that stock just at that time it was hitting .35. I failed to just hit "sell". It would have been a very nice profit. Funny, I've had the best luck with penny stocks this year. I don't generally buy them….but a chart is a chart. Gary Kaltbaum started out selling penny stocks.
Making decisions in the market has more to do with quelling one's natural emotions---a nice gain can dissipate into status quo in the span of just a few minutes. My first response was "Oh WOW, something exciting is happening, and there is news that I don't know about that is BIG…..I'll just hang on." Yeah, right. It did happen to be the last day they were listed (they are now on the PINK sheets).
Here's a chart that I wished I had found.
My preference is to be in a position before the move. I'm not good about chasing moves either higher or lower. In fact, my best success this year has been from being patiently in positions and then have them move. However, when the move gets made (a la PDRT) you have to part with it. Sigh…..

All of the hard work put in at Worcester Warriors over the last year has been for occasions like the London Double Header and Dean Ryan has urged his players to seize the moment.
There are few places any rugby fan would rather be than among a Twickenham crowd in full roar and on Saturday 28 November, Worcester Warriors supporters will be able to get behind their team as they play their first ever IVs game at rugby HQ.
Warriors face Saracens, the team who won the title at the same ground in May then an ever-improving Wasps will take on Tom Coventry's new-look London Irish side.
Worcester may be the underdogs for the occasion but you only have to look at their recent achievements – securing promotion with the last kick of the game against Bristol, before opening up the new campaign with a brilliant win over Northampton Saints – to know that they will be comfortable on the big stage.
And Ryan says that he's assembled a squad that will have a point to prove on the biggest stage of them all.
"For us, you could look at Saracens in the London Double Header in front of a full house and some might be nervous," he said.
"But when you get nervous and worried about it, remember where we were last year and what we were driving for. To be playing at a full house against those teams, what more could we ask for? Let's go and enjoy it."
The likes of Ryan Lamb and Tom Biggs have been in the top-flight for much of their career and have returned to state their case again with Warriors and Ryan says that everyone has bought into the challenge.
"A lot of our players weren't first choice at the bigger clubs and they were frustrated that they were told that they couldn't play in the Aviva Premiership," added Ryan.
"The core factor for us is that a lot of these guys are so desperate to be successful and there are no passengers.
"Nobody is here for the end of their contract, for a year in London or England – nobody. Everybody here buys into what we are trying to do so I think that gives us enough traction to work hard and be competitive and I'm sure that Twickenham will be no different in that regard."
See two Aviva Premiership Rugby games at Twickenham from just £24 as Saracens face Worcester Warriors and London Irish play Wasps at the London Double Header on 28 November. Click here for tickets

- Try not to say no to any invitation.
- Visit Greece. There are so many places I could visit in Europe. Why Greece? When I was a child living in Lubbock, Texas, my elementary school had an event every year called "Brotherhood Day." Each grade studied a country, learned about the culture, and then presented the country and culture to the rest of the school by decorating the rooms and invited other classes to take "field trips" to our country. In Kindergarten, our country was Kenya; we performed a Kenyan folktale. In 1st grade, our country was Denmark. We used Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales to decorate our room. (Interestingly enough, I can't stand Andersen as an adult.) In 2nd grade, our country was Greece. I ate lentils for the first time, and we decorated the room to look like the Greek myths. Then my family moved; I no longer was able to experience other countries through Brotherhood Day. But even then, I knew that someday I wanted to visit these three countries. In 2010, I visited my first of the three, Denmark. I didn't get to see the Little Mermaid statue; it was in China! But I was able to stand outside of Tivoli Gardens. While in Austria, I will be so close to Greece, I might as well visit the 2nd! Kenya will have to wait.
- Buy a dirndl. Ever since I read this blog posting, I've wanted to buy a dirndl. This desire was sealed when I saw that many of the girls at one of my schools wear dirndls at school events. I love that teen aged girls want to wear traditional Austrian costumes, and even though I'm not Austrian, I want to "blend in."
- Continue running and exercising. My goal is to be able to run a half marathon.
- Improve my German! Duh!
Improve my teaching skills and techniques. I will be a teaching assistant after all!
- Learn to ski, either cross country or downhill, if it's not too expensive! This isn't a primary goal, but if I have the means, I would love to try. I already have someone willing to teach me.
- Document my little village of Bischofshofen. Including possibly editing the Wikitravel page. When I was assigned to schools in this village, I found that there was almost nothing, NOTHING online about this village. I've already started the Wikitravel page.
- Eat Belgian waffles. I am hopefully visiting Belgium for Christmas and I plan on only eating waffles, fries and chocolate, but I'm looking forward to the waffles the most.
- Speaking of Christmas, I'd like to go to a Krampusnacht/laufen. Krampus is a mythical creature that is the Alpine equivalent of getting goal for Christmas, except multiplied a million times. I've heard this night is more fun in small villages, and as I'll be living in an Alpine village, I want to experience this, though from what I've heard, I may regret it! If you want more information about Krampus, go here.
- Try to continually update this blog. This one might be the hardest of all.

Another one: Email your mother on a regular basis. Ha. Ha.ReplyDelete
Just added another one to the list!Delete
You will have ZERO problem learning to ski in Austria - if you make a friend with the same shoe size I'm sure they'd even let you borrow. Austrians and Germans all own skis and sometimes several sets.ReplyDelete
Dirndl is also a must! I suggest trying some on and then ordering from ebay.de (or whatever the Austrian one is) once you know your size to save some money!Replies
Oh that's a good idea for buying a dirndl!Delete
I was telling a friend in Germany that I am making sure to bring lots of shoes because I have big feet. She told me buying shoes for big feet is not a problem in Europe and then I told her my shoe size and she agreed that I must bring enough shoes. I don't know if I will be able to befriend someone with my shoe size that has skis! But I still want to try skiing, but I think I might be really bad at it.
i'm jealous. austria's so much fun!
can't wait to read your adventure there :)Replies
Thanks! I'm super excited!Delete
I've never been to Austria, but it looks amazing.
Great list of goals! Looks like you'll be living in the mountains (at least according to google), so you should have plenty of opportunity for skiing.ReplyDelete
So you attended the University of Minnesota? Which year did you graduate? It will be great to have another UofM alum in Austria!Replies
Yeah, the village is in the mountains. I think I might be able to see the mountains from my window? I've never been skiing, so I'm a little nervous about it, but I might as well try it.Delete
I graduated in 2008, and I swear we had a class together, maybe the Germany History/Culture class? I can't remember for sure!
A couple of Fulbrighters in my Bulgaria cohort are planning to do the Athens Classic Marathon in November. I don't know if the timing would make sense for you, but you could knock two of those babies off your list in one fell swoop! http://www.athensclassicmarathon.grReplyDelete
Greece is on my list of goals as well. My town is on the border with Greece, but (perhaps due to the mountains here) there are no border crossings in my province. And Greece had to shut down its international trains for lack of funds. Even so, Thessaloniki is so close, I'll have to give it a go by bus one of these days.

Discussion in 'Unexplained Mysteries' started by RonHeinzkaboot, May 28, 2016.
Did Howard plant this story?
Is he supporting this bio?
Any press is good for Wiggy these days if it doesn't involve his wife's stupid kitten pics - I doubt he's supporting Ian Halperin's book though
I don't believe a word Ian Halperin says.
Sounds like this book is sanctioned
too bad Howard's not getting any buzz because Jonny Depp's hot young lesbian wife is doing what Beth should have done long ago
frank sinatra, Howard Stern

Jackie laughing in the background at his contributions.
Jackie voice:
"Hey, why dont Italians have freckles?"
"They all slide off!"
Maybe this will be his Pulitzer Prize.

I heard him on Opie with Jim Norton a few months back. He did not come across to me as credible, more like an angry jilted girlfriend. Sort of like David Arquette's blow up when he was snubbed by Howie.
"My friends called me Shades Of Blue"....

this always made me say WTF too
it's so delusional and by friends he had to mean his sister or his mother. No other dude is calling another dude "Shades of Blue" even if you played the guitar really good and your dad was Orlan.
Hey Shades of Blue you coming?

It is hot here. I am getting ready to hit the farmer's market and TJs (corporate shopping! on the smaller scale! non texas style!) and then head home to check on e.dd.
TH is doing a mr to BOS and back today. She just called to inform me that Alaska swapped planes and put the 737-800 on the flight which means her bulkhead is not a bulkhead and the person in front of her in First is reclining into her.
Fun! not!
Imagine if you had an exit row on the old 737-700 configuration and it has now been swapped for 25e! I would be livid. Maybe you would be too.
Did you notice that I'm using a lot of exclamation points this morning?
Anyways, if you really need that exit row or want a bulkhead, go to Seatguru to look at the configurations. Also check the aircraft the airline purports on their website to put you on and then call and double check, because things change as loads change.
At least her upgrade is secured for her return.
Off to the market to get peaches, peppers, flowers and cherry tomatoes for the boy.

Oxidized-Ldl Enhances Coronary Vasoconstriction by Increasing the Activity of α and ε Protein Kinase C Isoforms
Jump to
Oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) plays a critical role in the development of atherosclerotic coronary vasospasm; however, the cellular mechanisms involved are not fully understood. We tested the hypothesis that ox-LDL enhances coronary vasoconstriction by increasing the activity of specific protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in coronary smooth muscle. Active stress was measured in de-endothelialized porcine coronary artery strips, [Ca2+]i was monitored in single coronary smooth muscle cells loaded with fura-2, and the whole tissue, cytosolic and particulate fractions were examined for PKC activity and reactivity with isoform-specific anti-PKC antibodies using Western blot analysis. Ox-LDL (100 μg/ml) caused a slow but significant increase in active stress to 1.2±0.2 x103N/m2, that was completely inhibited by the PKC inhibitors staurosporine and calphostin C, with no significant increase in [Ca2+]i. Ox-LDL enhanced coronary contraction to increasing concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and extracellular KCl with no additional increases in [Ca2+]i. Direct activation of PKC by phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu, 0.1 μM) caused a contraction similar in magnitude and time course to ox-LDL induced contraction. PDBu also enhanced 5-HT and KCl-induced contraction with no additional increases in [Ca2+]i. Both ox-LDL and PDBu caused an increase in PKC activity in the particulate fraction and a decrease in the cytosolic fraction and increased the particulate/cytosolic PKC activity ratio. Western blot analysis revealed α-, δ-, ε- and ζ-PKC isoforms. In unstimulated tissue, α- and ε-PKC were mainly cytosolic, δ-PKC was mainly in the particulate fraction, while ζ-PKC was equally distributed in the cytosolic and particulate fractions. Ox-LDL and PDBu caused translocation of α- and ε-PKC from the cytosolic to particulate fraction, with minimal effect on the distribution of δ-PKC and ζ-PKC. Native LDL did not significantly affect coronary contraction, [Ca2+]i or PKC activity. These results suggest that ox-LDL enhances coronary vasoconstriction via activation and translocation of α- and ε-PKC isoforms in coronary smooth muscle.

Making the Move
A few years back I was fortunate enough to take a short (4 days) trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. This was my first trip to Europe, and I was amazed at how comfortable I was in such a foreign place. Fast forward to 2008 and I am given the opportunity to work for a Danish Architecture firm whose work was inspirational to me during my first trip to Denmark. I jumped at the chance and decide to make the move, the catch is that I need to do an internship period in Brussels, Belgium before I can move up to Copenhagen.

During this time, 548.9 million shares of the 30 Dow components have changed hands vs. an average daily trading volume of 818.6 million. The NYSE advances/declines ratio sits at 1,315 issues advancing vs. 1,539 declining with 133 unchanged. Holding back the Dow today is Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), which is lagging the broader Dow index with a 23-cent decline (-0.3%) bringing the stock to $70.10. This single loss is lowering the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 1.74 points or roughly accounting for 174% of the Dow's overall loss. Volume for Coca-Cola currently sits at 5.8 million shares traded vs. an average daily trading volume of 7.7 million shares. Coca-Cola has a market cap of $154.22 billion and is part of the consumer goods sector and food & beverage industry. Shares are up 0.5% year to date as of Thursday's close. The stock's dividend yield sits at 2.9%. The Coca-Cola Company, a beverage company, engages in the manufacture, marketing, and sale of nonalcoholic beverages worldwide. The company primarily offers sparkling beverages and still beverages. The company has a P/E ratio of 19, above the average food & beverage industry P/E ratio of 12.5 and above the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. TheStreet Ratings rates Coca-Cola as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance, expanding profit margins and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.

Now, I have to tell you, I'm actually really disappointed with how her face came out. I was working it, trying to get it to have some contrast, and my Copics refused to cooperate. There's no shading from her hair, which is really weird. So, sorry. Anyway, this is the first image I've coloured from a company called Delicious Doodles. She's called Eva the Witch, but I thought she'd look nice with a green cape for the holiday. Of course, I might end up colouring her with a red hood and she can be Red Riding Hood. I sparkled her up with some flowers and some bling.

Body Shop
Rev. July 13, 1995
Business people have got to be the instigators of change. They have the money and the power to make a difference. A company that makes a profit from society has a responsibility to return something to that society. Anita Roddick, founder and managing director of The Body Shop
"Let's face it, I can't take a moisture cream too seriously," Anita Roddick was fond of saying, "What really interests me is the revolutionary way in which trade can be used as an instrument for change for the better." This heretical statement by the head of the fastest-growing company in the cosmetics industry reflected her habit of going against the tide of the industry's established practices.
The Body Shop did not advertise, avoided traditional distribution channels, spent as little as possible on packaging, and used product labels to describe ingredients rather than to make miraculous claims. Its products were based on all-natural ingredients, and were sold in refillable, recyclable containers. But the most unconventional of all, was The Body Shop's strong social message. As Roddick explained: "There hasn't been an ethical or philosophical code of behavior for any business body ever, and I think it's going to have to change."
From a single storefront in 1976, The Body Shop had grown to 586 shops by 1991, trading in 38 countries and 18 languages. Worldwide retail sales from company stores and licensees were estimated at $391 million. Along the way, The Body Shop was voted U.K. Company of the Year in 1985, and U.K. Retailer of the Year in 1989. In addition, Roddick had been the Veuve Cliquot Businesswoman of the Year in 1985, and Communicator of the Year in 1987. In 1988, she was awarded the prestigious Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth (who herself was rumored to use The Body Shop's Peppermint Foot Lotion).
The world of business has taught me nothing. . . I honestly believe I would not have succeeded if I had been taught about business. Anita Roddick
Professor Christopher A. Bartlett and Research Associates Kenton Elderkin and Krista McQuade prepared this case with an additional contribution by Myra Hart, as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.

Anita Roddick: The Entrepreneur
The Body Shop International
Returning to England, she met Gordon Roddick, a Scots poet and adventurer who shared her love of travel. The birth of two daughters forced the Roddicks to settle down, and the couple decided to convert a Victorian house in Brighton into a hotel. In 1976, however, they sold their business so Gordon could fulfill a lifelong dream of riding on horseback from Buenos Aires to New York City—a journey that would take up to two years. Anita agreed to the plan ("Gordon never was a boring man") and, at 33, undertook to support the family. She had an idea for a shop.
With a £4,000 bank loan (approximately $6,000), Roddick developed a line of 25 skin and hair care products based on natural ingredients. Sourcing exotic ingredients like jojoba oil and rhassoul mud from a local herbalist, she prepared the first product batches on her kitchen stove and packaged them in the cheapest containers she could find—urine-sample bottles.

This useless party aka EPRDF must stop the anti-science nonsense. GMO is the greatest gift to humanity and Africa. Ethiopians would have 4 or 5 times yield yearly if they used modern farming and GMO seeds.
This is my only suggestion...
Make sure the seeds are developed inside Ethiopia.
Ethiopia should stop the ban on GMO..

"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning." (Louis L'Amour)
Today has been an exciting (and long!)day. I've been at school, helping with registration - will be here until 8 pm (but I'll at least get some pizza!). Here I am, a veteran of over a quarter century of teaching (26 years to be exact!), and this week I am experiencing many of the same feelings that a beginning teacher would - things you'd think I'd "outgrown". In many ways, I'm glad I haven't...
This week I'm setting foot in a brand new school building for the first time ever! Wow! A new South Medford High School - replacing the Great Depression-era building that has been my "home" in southern Oregon for the last 18 years. Here I sit; in my room - in awe at how beautiful our new campus is! I can look out at a sunny August afternoon, and see trees waving in the breeze; brown hills and mountains (dusted with smoke from a forest fire), and green everywhere - what a treat! In all of my years of teaching, I've only been in a room with windows 3 times! How did I ever keep a smile on my face spending so much time in "dungeons"? Don't know!
But along with all the excitement, and all the luxuries of a new school and classroom, comes some anxiety as well. So much work still needs to be done around here. Classes start in 10 days and my room is still mostly unorganized, undecorated, unconnected technologically.
"Where will I put everything? How do I get anything printed? Where can I eat lunch at? Where can I park my car and not have to walk a 1/2 mile to my room? When will I get the table they promised me? Will the air-conditioning work? How am I going to get all of this done? I just know there's going to be way too many meetings next week!" Like little gnats buzzing around my head, the worries swirl and whisper...
But then I take a deep breath and remember. Remember that it will all work out as long as I keep my attention on what I'm doing - not the pesky "gnats". Instead, watch the breeze outside, and remember to be flexible like the trees it's gently pushing. Look at the sun on the hills, and remember to keep a smile on my face and a light heart. See the green trees and grass, and remember that there is goodness in change; freshness in growth. As I remember to do each of these, I can't help but smile, even though I'm tired.
All good reminders as I begin again: a new year, a fresh start... rare opportunities that not everyone who's been in the same career for a quarter century get, or take advantage of. Lucky me!
Those thoughts are definitely "pearls" worth remembering for the rest of the year...

For your ease and wellness, I have recorded a guided meditation practice that I do often with clients. This meditation has been useful for people struggling with PTSD triggers, anxiety, chronic pain, and other overwhelming physical and emotional experiences.
The meditation is not about eradicating uncomfortable experiences, rather finding our inner capacity for spaciousness and presence with discomfort, distress, and pain. When we have spaciousness and presence, much becomes possible that is not when overwhelmed.
I recommend you use the meditation in a space where you feel safe and will not be disturbed for about ten minutes. I recommend that you practice with the full meditation the first few times when you are relatively calm—not in an urgent crisis. As you get more comfortable with this, you can very easily simplify it and draw upon it during your day.

Where the Broken Heart Still Beats: The Story of Cynthia Ann Parker by Carolyn Meyer
This young adult book centers around the true story of Cynthia Ann Parker, who at 9 years old was kidnapped and raised by the Comanches from her white parents. As an adult, Cynthia Ann is returned to her blood family after the Comanches are raided by the Texas Rangers. This much is known. What happens in the intervening years and what happened afterward until Cythia Ann's death are up in the air. Not many historical records of her exist.
Carolyn Meyer has imagined a story of Cynthia Ann's return to her family, told in journal entries by a fictional cousin as well as in a narrative told from Cynthia Ann's point of view. The book deals with a struggle for identity--who we are, who we are raised to be, and other people's perceptions about us. Cynthia Ann came to see herselve as a Comanche. To her family, she was still a kidnapping victim of the savages. Their struggle to understand each other makes for compelling reading indeed.

I've advocated for a long time that we don't really need Critical Mass in Minneapolis because we already have it so good. Apparently other people finally got the message, if this forum post is to be believed.
I was browsing on mplsbikelove.com today and came across a thread with someone who had just moved here and tried to go to Loring Park on the last Friday of the month to meet up with Critical Mass. Apparently some 'messenger kid' rode by while he was waiting there and said that they don't do Critical Mass anymore.
If that is true, it's pretty huge. CM has been a huge force world wide for bicycle advocacy, it's thousands strong in many cities across the US, and a source of a lot of strife and contention between motorists and cyclists everywhere. I never really liked the tactic - asserting our right to share the road by taking over the road and blocking it from all other users seemed like the wrong message to send. When we did the protest ride for the people killed in September 2008 I tried to make sure that the ride rode legally for as much of it as possible - it sent a totally different message to the people who saw it. We had handouts for everyone to have, cars would pull up alongside and talk to the cyclists, the cyclists could hand the information out to the cars. It worked really well. I've heard of similar things in other cities - Critical Manners where everyone rides following every rule of the road.
So what does it mean that Minneapolis has quit having a Critical Mass? From the comments in the thread most cyclists don't miss it, but the original poster brings up a good point that it's a good way to get out and meet people in the local scene. Is there anything that can really take the place of this ride as a way to get connected to cycling culture? I'd say yes, with mplsbikelove.com we have a pretty easy way for the cycling 'scene' to become accessible to anyone that wants to participate. Maybe that's not good enough though. I don't know.
It also makes me wonder - are we done fighting for our rightful place on the road? What is the hierarchy on the road? In many cases it seems as if the cyclist in Minneapolis is the king of the road, the motorists are so used to seeing us and so used to seeing us behaving badly that they often are yielding to us when they don't need to. I have been waved through red lights by cars who stopped at the green to let me go. It's nuts. I know there are still incidents of conflict but I find by and large I'm treated well and even beyond what is necessary by most cars on the road. Maybe that's just where and when I ride, I have a really tame commute and I'm also pretty used to riding so I don't tend to get upset or fazed when bad things do happen. It seems like we still have a long way to go, infrastructure is poorly maintained in winter and markings are often confusing or hard to see. But overall we do have it pretty nice here.
Does this mean anything to relations between bicyclists and the city? There's been several incidents in the past with the police breaking up CM rides. Have we lost a tool in our arsenal if all the cyclists are so complacent that we no longer ride CM? Are people being active politically in other ways that accomplish the same goals as CM is supposed to have? Are there ways that we can make sure that we're not missing out on things that other cities have?
I don't know, I'd say someone should start a Critical Manners ride in Minneapolis and see how it goes. Maybe I'll try that as a ride type on bikedate.mn come spring time, if I decide to try and do anything more with that.
It makes me wonder what the state of Critical Mass is in other cities? Are there any other major cities where CM is on the decline? What makes Minneapolis so different that we don't need to have Critical Mass? Why do the cyclists here would see it as a negative influence instead of a positive one?
