25 Random Things About Me
1. My parents nearly named me Alexander.
2. The first thing I ever wanted to be was an ambulance driver. This was before I knew that meant you had to be a paramedic. I just wanted to drive fast and turn on the siren and lights.
3. I am an insane Star Trek fan. Yes, I even go to the conventions.
4. Living in Europe gave me a rabid wanderlust. Most people thought that after 20 plus countries, I'd be satiated, but that merely proved to me how much of the world I've yet to see.
5. I am a cat man.
6. I once saw myself in national politics. The first time I lived in Washington D.C., I interned for Newt Gingrich's Grand Old Party. When I returned, I was a liberal. Thanks for that W.
7. When I was flying in the Navy, my call sign was "Senator." I was given the nickname because, during my training, while all my friends read the Sports and Comics sections of the newspaper, I was always interested to see what was going on in Washington D.C.
8. I can take or leave sports.
9. People have always told me I look like Vince Vaughn.
10. My favorite movie is "Lawrence of Arabia."
11. I second the late John Updike when he said, "The true New Yorker secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding. "
12. The only thing I have ever stolen in my life was a Belinni shot glass from Harry's Bar in Venice. It was the bar Earnest Hemingway used to frequent.
13. I have no patience whatsoever for technology that does not work as it is designed to.
14. I adore kids but don't know if I'll ever have any.
15. I never go to bed without watching Jon Stewart.
16. I hate the summer. I hate heat. I wish it could be fall year round.
17. I drink my coffee black and my tea with cream and sugar. I've never lived in the South but super sweet is the only way to drink iced tea.
18. I grew up in the mountains but never want to be far from the ocean.
19. My mom was raised in Africa and considers herself more an African than an American.
20. I could eat seafood for every meal.
21. My sister is gay and I love and support her and her wife in every way.
22. Before podcasts, I used to plan my Saturdays around NPR shows. Brunch? No thank you, I have to listen to "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" and "This American Life."
23. I look back on my days in high school and college and I don't recognize myself. I believe so few of the things I believed in then.
24. While I adore making a living (yeah, right!) writing about other people's films, I hope that someday soon others will be writing about my films.
25. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

NEW YORK DHC JHB — NEW YORK -- While a military victory abroad prompted a parade on Wall Street yesterday, the aftermath of the financial failure at home of Bridgeport, Conn., caused consternation in the trading rooms upstairs, raising the prospect of other troubled cities having to pay more for money in the future.
Municipal borrowing in the credit markets is estimated by one Wall Street firm, Roosevelt & Cross, at $800 billion a year. The money funds bridges, schools, road construction and myriad other public facilities whose use extends beyond the current fiscal year. Raising the price for this funding, or shutting out troubled communities entirely, could have a profound impact on how governments operate.
Often in the past, the difference in interest rates paid by municipalities with excellent credit ratings and those with only marginal ratings could be measured in fractions of a percentage point. But recently, yields quoted on Maryland's pristine debt have been as much as 30 percent lower than yields on the debt of other East Coast jurisdictions, such as Philadelphia, New York and Massachusetts.

Gratuitous Tank Battles is the new PC strategy game, developed by Positech Games, makers of Democracy, Kudos and of course Gratuitous Space Battles. Gratuitous Tank Battles is an RTS/Tower Defense hybrid with online elements and customisable units. The player can take the role of the defender or the attacker in a series of top-down explodey battles. A built-in map editor will allow easy sharing of custom maps and defensive challenges with other GTB players in a similar fashion to GSB's challenge system.
GTB takes place in an alternate reality where the 'central powers' never surrender and the 'great war' continues for two hundred years. Soldiers still fight in the trenches of the Somme, although rifles have (mostly) become laser rifles and giant armored mechs stride across no-mans land. The two great armies continue to fight with patriotic zeal and little memory of who Franz Ferdinand was and what happened to him. One thing is certain: It will all be over by Christmas 2114.
System requirements:
• Windows XP/Vista/7

Being a national public health official brings with it great responsibility. You are tasked with the health and safety of the men, women and children that live, work and play in your jurisdiction. Utilizing the most comprehensive set of codes available anywhere helps to fulfill your mandate. You need codes that demonstrate the best provisions that the industry has to offer in setting minimum requirements for buildings and residences.
Working with a trusted model code agency to develop local plumbing and mechanical codes and standards is the most cost-effective and efficient way to produce these documents. From our beginning, almost 90 years ago, IAPMO has focused on health, safety and efficiency when developing our plumbing and mechanical codes. IAPMO brings together the best subject matter experts at the Technical Committee level and leads the way in research to address these concerns.
Using the Uniform Codes as baseline, comprehensive, discipline-specific, turnkey documents, you and your team work directly with our experts to build enhanced local codes. IAPMO has extensive experience in developing codes for use outside of the United States, with India, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Jordan already using the Uniform Codes. Our team of code development experts knows that first we must listen and understand local construction norms and cultural expectations prior to developing code provisions. This collaborative process yields a document that is enforceable while remaining flexible to embrace new technologies. Locally developed codes help to protect the public by eliminating incorrect field interpretations, recognizing and addressing local conditions, and by setting standards that all segments of the local construction industry can easily understand.
The Uniform Codes have a number of built-in benefits:• Develop countries' nationwide plans for improving access to clean water and sanitation• Improve your citizens' quality of life• Utilize independent test reports and product certifications to verify compliance to your code• Adopt training programs for plumbing professionals• Create a level playing field and new markets for your national manufacturing companies

E-commerce is only supposed to translate the physical world into the Internet world and therefore deserves to be similarly regulated as commerce in the physical world. It is our concern that, though the outcome of e-commerce and retail in physical world is the same, the treatment meted out by the Government of India to the two players in the same market is inequitable.
Due to the advent of technology and increased reach to the general public through mobile and other hand-held devices, e-commerce has also reached a level of general and daily use. Multi brand retail is being achieved through e-commerce but on a defence of a marketplace model. E-commerce thus achieves the same result as that of multi brand retail in physical world.
Based on members' recommendations, RAI had repeatedly sought for the government to create a simple FDI policy for Retail without segregating retail by BRANDS and CHANNELS. We have submitted that the word "retailer"cannot be allowed to have a different meaning for players in the Internet world and players in the physical world.
The continued discrimination by Government between Retailers in physical world and retailers in cyberspace compel us to represent our stand strongly with the Government.
With the above background, and under the direction of the board, RAI filed a writ petition before Hon'ble Delhi High Court on 18th May 2015 to seek a "level playing field" amongst the retailers in the physical world and retailers in the cyberspace (internet world), in relation to the application of Indian laws including the Foreign Direct Investment Regulations.
Please click here to download the petition.
The aforesaid matter was listed before Hon'ble Justice Mr Rajiv Shakhder of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court on 20th May 2015. The Hon'ble Court after considering the arguments, held that the said petition shall be treated as representation to the respondent (i.e. Government) by the petitioner(i.e. RAI) and directed the government to discuss the matter in details with RAI within 4 months. The Court has provided the liberty to RAI to approach the Court in case of a negative response.

Dharma Talks by Venerable Guo Chuan
So far, Venerable Guo Chuan has given us a tour of the outer perimeter of the palace (a colorful metaphor for the Lotus Sutra). On Sunday, October 26, 2009, we entered the palace gates, so to speak.
Venerable talked about the importance of commentaries in Buddhist studies. In fact, the commentaries are one of the Three Storehouses (tripitaka) of Buddhist texts (the other two being the sutras and the precepts or vinaya).
Zhuyi (also known as Zhi Zhe), an important Chinese translator of Buddhist texts, came up with a method of outlining the Lotus Sutra, which is widely recognized. According to this scholar monk, the Sutra can be divided into two sections or parts— the Trace or Provisional Gate (Chapters 1-14) and the Source or Original Gate (Chapters 15-28). The Trace Gate section can be further divided into three parts-- the Introduction (Chapter 1), the Orthodox Teachings (Chapters 2-9) and the Transmission (Chapters 10-14). The Source or Original Door can also be delineated into three parts—the Introduction (Chapter 15), the Orthodox Teachings (Chapters 15-17), and the Transmission (Chapters 17-28). The Introduction relates the causes and conditions for the gathering of the various beings, the Orthodox Teachings is the dharma of the Buddha and the Transmission is how the teaching will be transmitted to sentient beings and the merit that will be attained through transmission.
Venerable introduced the Sutra by talking about the setting, its characters, and the opening scene. A great light appears and attracts many followers to the scene. The Buddha is on Mount Gridhrakuta after having just finished teaching the sutra titled Immeasurable Meanings. The bodhisattvas Manjushri and Maitreya have a conversation about the meaning of this great event. In a past life, Maitreya was a bodhisattva named "Seeker of Fame" who was lazy and greedy for fame and profit, but because of his good karmic roots and merits, will be the future Buddha. Like "Seeker of Fame", we have many character flaws that we recognize during our practice. Rather than change our habits, which is very difficult to do, or change the habits of others, Venerable encouraged us to think about the path that we want to take in this lifetime and in future lifetimes and to make a wish to travel on this path.
In Chapter 2, "Expedient Means", the Buddha tells Shariputra that the teachings are very profound, deep and difficult to understand. Shariputra requests the teachings three times, and the Buddha's responses are--that wisdom can be conveyed only from Buddha to another Buddha, that sentient beings in heaven and on earth will be shocked if they hear it, and people who are "overbearingly arrogant" * would not accept the teachings and would fall into hell for rejecting the teachings of the Lotus Sutra. Finally, after Shariputra's pleads, the Buddha is moved to preach the Sutra.
At the end of the talk, Venerable encouraged us to attend the next four weeks of the series so that we may receive the full benefits of the teachings on the Lotus Sutra.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's strategy for gradually ending the war in Afghanistan relies heavily on peace talks with the Taliban. But those talks have hardly begun, and even some administration officials acknowledge that the odds of success are slim.
Among the many reasons: It is not clear that the Taliban want to negotiate, or who even represents the organization. The Afghan president has distanced himself from the talks, raising doubts about whether the country's leaders would be open to a reprise of Taliban involvement in the political process.
And Pakistan, the vital third leg of negotiations because of its ties to the Taliban, is increasingly a wild card because of recent strains with the United States over the drone assaults on terrorist suspects inside Pakistan.
Obama told soldiers last week that "because of you, there are signs that the Taliban may be interested in figuring out a political settlement, which ultimately is going to be critical." So far, however, those signs are hazy at best, according to officials and diplomats.
U.S. officials have participated in three meetings this year with an English-speaking Afghan who was once a personal assistant to the fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar. Those meetings, in Germany and Qatar, appear to have accomplished little more than confirming the man's identity, and perhaps not even that.
Adding another layer of complexity to the already murky effort, the English-speaking Afghan, Tayeb Agha, who was an aide to Omar during the Taliban's rise to power, was arrested by Pakistani authorities last year and then released, leading U.S. officials to assume that he is negotiating on behalf of the Taliban with the blessings of the Pakistani authorities.
"We're at that stage where it's very confusing," one senior administration official said, adding that the meetings could not even be called "talks" at this stage, let alone "peace talks."
The wariness in part reflects the fact that the administration has been badly embarrassed by previous diplomatic efforts. An Afghan was given substantial sums of cash last year and was flown on a NATO aircraft in the belief that he was a Taliban envoy — but he was an imposter.
Even so, the renewed diplomatic push signals a significant shift in Obama's strategy since he came to office in 2009 and increased U.S. forces in Afghanistan to nearly 100,000 troops, from 34,000, in an effort to crush a resurgent Taliban insurgency.
While the military has secured parts of the country and bolstered the Afghan government's security forces, the administration now recognizes that a final U.S. withdrawal depends on a political settlement with the Taliban, a fundamentalist Islamic movement equated closely with the ideology of al-Qaida. The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were orchestrated by al-Qaida under the Taliban's protection.
The administration has imposed significant conditions for any reconciliation. The Taliban's leaders must disarm, sever ties with al-Qaida's remaining leadership, recognize the Afghan government and accept the country's constitution, including basic rights for women, who were severely repressed when the Taliban governed here in the 1990s.
It is uncertain whether the Taliban or even parts of their leadership are willing to accept such conditions, and many experts are deeply skeptical.
"There really can't be a deal on the core red lines, because that's what red lines are," Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said of the conditions, using the diplomatic term for nonnegotiable demands.
Another step to entice the Taliban into the political process occurred recently when the United States won approval at the U.N. Security Council for a resolution that separated the Taliban from al-Qaida on the terrorist blacklist that was the basis for international sanctions after 9/11.
The resolution creates a process for removing Taliban leaders from the list, including some who have already broken with the movement and joined President Hamid Karzai's government. U.S. officials hope the prospect of being freed from sanctions will encourage others to change sides.
Some have questioned the wisdom of the administration's new strategy. "I don't think it's productive to talk to the Taliban to begin with because they have every incentive to have us leave," said Vali Nasr, a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University who was an assistant to the late special envoy Richard Holbrooke as special envoy to the region.
Another question, he and others noted, is Karzai's commitment to the process. Last week, he acknowledged the talks but said the United States, not his government, was leading them. He went on to angrily criticize the international military operation that brought him to power.

Padmavati,' a Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial, stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles.
Mumbai: Raising questions of freedom of expression, Deepika Padukone today said she was heartbroken by the attack on a rangoli inspired by her upcoming film 'Padmavati' and drew Union minister Smriti Irani's attention to the incident.
The rangoli in a Surat mall was vandalised earlier this week. It had taken rangoli artist Karan 48 hours to make it.
"A crowd of 100 people cried JAY SRI RAM AND rubbed out my 48hrs' intense work! Shocked," Karan had tweeted after the incident.
Deepika, 31, appealed to the Union information and broadcasting minister to look into the matter.
"Absolutely heart breaking to see the recent attack on artist Karan and his artwork! Disgusting and appalling to say the least!" she posted along with a photograph of the rangoli.
The actor, who plays the titular role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, said such attacks muzzled the freedom of expression.
"Who are these people? Who is responsible for their actions? For how long are we going to let this go on? (Till when we will) Allow them to take law into their own hands & attack our freedom & right to individual expression time & again!?
"This has to stop now and action must be taken @smritiirani," she said on Twitter.
This is not the first time that Bhansali's film on the fabled Rajput princess has found itself in trouble.
Earlier this year, Bhansali was attacked by the members of Rajput community group, Karni Sena, during the shooting of the film in Rajasthan.
Last month, members of the Karni Sena burnt posters of the film after the first look of the main characters — Padmavati (Deepika), Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor) and Allaudin Khilji (Ranveer Singh) — was released.
They also threatened to oppose the screening of the movie in theatres if the facts were distorted.
'Padmavati' is slated to release on December 1.

Weird thing is that my bro just got a computer off a friend of his, and I just decided to try Mugen on his computer and it freaking worked! His computer is running on XP too, so im like wtf!!
Someone really needs to try and do a Mugen made for WINDOWS!!
Posted 12 February 2004 - 04:28 AM
Did you try the Mugen XP patch and stuff when now that you have your nVidia GeForce FX 5200 card? I have the exact same graphics card and Mugen works for me. It's not about the operating system, it's simply graphics card. Compatible or Not Compatible.
the screen just goes black and returns to the desktop
Posted 12 February 2004 - 04:29 AM
Ask him what his graphics card is and tell me yours. I am still looking for a fix and I think I have one for this problem soon..how soon..soon.
Masenka, I feel your pain since I have also tried every freaking way to run Mugen on XP, but it just wont work. Win-Mugen is a piece of Crap, and I would like to try and use the real one for once.

Very strange indeed, as I could play MUGEN on Windows XP and using GeForce FX 5200. (Same as Gamecop's) So, I am still wondering of what is the 'main' problem of this?
Posted 13 February 2004 - 01:18 AM
Windows XP
Pentium 4 Processor
Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440
Mugen just goes black when I click on it.
Here's my bro's computer's specs:
Windows XP
Intel Processor (forgot which one)
Nvidia RIVA TNT2 Model64/ Model64 Pro
Mugen works like a charm on his computer.

SAN FRANCISCO (May 15, 2013) - Today, San Francisco's major hunger charities will come together for their first-ever joint disaster planning event, simulating the aftermath of a 7.8 earthquake that has devastated the Bay Area.
Named "Disaster Feed SF - First Responders for Food," the event is an opportunity for members of the Tenderloin Hunger Task Force (THTF) to practice providing meals for the area's most vulnerable populations in the aftermath of a disaster. The agencies will serve 6,000 hot meals without the use of electricity to residents of the Tenderloin from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., in the 100 block of Golden Gate Avenue.
Shortly after 12 p.m., the mayor and executive directors from participating agencies will roll up their sleeves and serve meals together, highlighting the critical message that disaster resiliency is a city-wide responsibility.
THTF agencies include St. Anthony's, GLIDE, Meals on Wheels, Project Open Hand, the San Francisco and Marin Food Banks, The Salvation Army and the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation. In addition to allowing these agencies to practice disaster communication and coordination, the event will also educate neighbors in the Tenderloin and surrounding area about personal disaster preparedness through educational booths and handouts.
Disaster Feed SF is part of a statewide disaster preparedness event known as Golden Guardian 2013. Cities and counties throughout California will test emergency operations plans, policies and procedures for dealing with a catastrophic earthquake.
The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management (DEM) has planned and organized exercises throughout San Francisco that focus on citywide coordination, shelter and care. The THTF organized Disaster Feed SF together with the DEM, the Human Services Agency of San Francisco, San Francisco Community Agencies Responding to Disaster and the American Red Cross Bay Area.
"During an actual event of this scale, the city will be mobilized to provide support, but we know that nonprofits are the key responders during the first 72 hours following a disaster," said Cissie Bonini, on behalf of the THTF. "The purpose of this exercise is to recognize that no single organization can do this alone. This event will give us practice in responding to a crisis together."
"The scenario is two days post-earthquake, and we will be feeding those populations least able to provide for themselves in the event of a disaster," Bonini said. "Obtaining food is challenging enough for THTF clients under normal circumstances. Imagine the effect of a catastrophic event."
Meals will include hot dogs, fruit, chili, coleslaw, bean salad, cookies, juice and emergency water. Agencies will also provide home-delivered meals to homebound and critically-ill seniors in the area.
"Actual emergencies look more like people coming together than cities falling apart," said DEM Executive Director Anne Kronenberg. "San Francisco's recovery starts with the community and our partners that are there to lend a hand."

A comment on a post I made over two years ago reminded me that I wanted to add a picture of the toy turtle he had made for someone else. I finally have my own turtle now and I think it's cute as can be. The shell is roughly 9″ long and 7 1/2″ wide. The head and tail go in and out as he's pulled along.
This year's project was a bi-plane, which is also an amazing little design. It even has a tiny pilot. What a great addition to our collection of handmade toys!

SYDNEY, N.S. — If there's one thing better than a pile of mouth-watering ribs, it's the knowledge that chowing down on the tasty, barbequed cuts of meat will help others.
On Monday, organizers of the annual Sydney RibFest announced a new charity of choice to benefit from the incredibly popular food festival that last year attracted more than 35,000 people over its three-day, mid-July run at Open Hearth Park.
After partnering with the Hospice Palliative Care Society of Cape Breton over the past three years, the Rotary Club fundraiser will this year work with the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation, which in turn will direct the event's charitable proceeds to Caleb's Courage and the Cancer Patient Care Fund.
That's great news for the new recipients as the hospice society just received a cheque for more than $209,000, the amount raised for charity over the first three editions of the Sydney Ribfest that was first held in 2015.
Society executive director Aurelle Landry, who was among a crowd of about 70 people that attended the 2018 RibFest launch at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre on Monday, called the financial gift "extraordinary" and acknowledged it was the largest single donation the society has ever received.
"RibFest not only raised a significant amount of money for our society and the patients and families we support, but it also created the opportunity for us to engage and expand the level of understanding of hospice palliative care and the society's role in our community," said Landry, who added that the society presently cares for hundreds of patients with life-limiting illnesses.
"Unfortunately, the need is growing, but for those who need it there is comfort and care available — this year we celebrate 10 years since the An Cala (palliative care) unit in the regional hospital opened its doors."
The event's new charities of choice — Caleb's Courage and the Cancer Patient Care Fund – were unveiled by hospital foundation CEO Brad Jacobs, who said both causes were near and dear to the hearts of everyone involved with the foundation.
"After losing their son to neuroblastoma, Caleb's parents, Mike and Nicole (MacArthur) set out on a mission to build a room at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital that would help support critically ill children and their families and I can say, that without question, one of the most impactful days I have had during my time here was (last) May 17th when I stood with the MacArthurs and watched that room open," said Jacobs.
"They have created what I call a movement and not a fundraising project and they have raised more than $388,000."
For their part, the MacAruthers, whose initiative brought the Caleb-inspired superhero room to fruition, said they were thrilled to learn that Caleb's Courage is now part of RibFest.
"It's a great event to be a part of," said Nicole, who, with husband Mike, has four other children, including a set of twins. "We are honoured and overjoyed — we actually go to the event as a family every year, it's a family-oriented event, and Caleb's spirit is very much about families and raising money for families by families."
Added Mike: "The fact that we have lived the journey means we understand the important work people are doing to help patients, particularly children — we've tried to take something that was a tragic event for us and make it into something positive, so this event (RibFest) is a perfect example of the community coming together to support others in the community."
Meanwhile, it was also announced that, for the fourth consecutive year, the event's "prime ribber" sponsor is Destination Membertou.
"For us, supporting events that reach into every community across Cape Breton and to bring people together for a worthy cause is a pleasure, so yes, we will back this up, yes, we will be the prime 'ribber' and yes, we will eat most of the ribs," said Chief Terry Paul, whose final comment drew a huge collective laugh from the crowd.
This year's RibFest, featuring food, live music and family fun, will take place July 13-15 and will once again be held in Open Hearth Park.
WHAT: Fourth Annual Sydney RibFest
WHEN: July 13-15, 2018
WHERE: Open Hearth Park, Sydney
WHO: Organized by the Rotary Clubs of the CBRM; presenting sponsor is Destination Membertou
WHY: Food festival to raise funds for Caleb's Courage and Cancer Patients Care Fund; previous three RibFests raised more than $209,000 for the Hospice Palliative Care Society of Cape Breton

My name is Jonathan Schmitt I am from Carrot River Saskatchewan. I am 14 years old. I have a 1963 Landlord 101. It has a 42 inch mower on it. It was in the bush at my neighbors house sitting. It has been there for ten years at least. I have always wanted it. Finally two years ago I decided I had the experience to fix it. I went and asked if he wanted to sell it and he gave it to me for free. Me and my brother pulled it home with the quad. The engine on it was seized so I bought an engine from my uncle for 25 dollars and put it on myself. I started her up and she was ready to go. There was nothing else wrong with it so now I mow all the lawn at our place with it. I know that neighbor has the mulcher for it so I am going to try andt that from him. I am pretty sure the mulcher is down in the bush where the lawn mower was.

Deltion Innovations Ltd. is an award-winning mining equipment design firm from Sudbury, Ontario that has recently received a contract from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to develop a drill for mining in space.
No longer just confined to the realm of the imagination, over the past decade, space mining has increasingly captured the minds of scientists, governments and private space mining companies. Once the budding industry gets off the ground, companies like Deltion Innovations are also expecting a big lift.
One reason investors are clamouring for space mining is the fact that asteroids have concentrations of precious metals like platinum that are much higher than those found on Earth. However, the specific drill Deltion has been contracted to develop for CSA will not immediately be used for mining precious metals on asteroids. It is actually intended for drilling water and ice on the moon. This may seem somewhat less exciting until one realizes the cost of transporting a single 16oz glass of water into space runs around $10,000. The ability to harvest water from the moon not only promises to make space travel more affordable, it has the potential to play a major role in enabling humans to travel longer distances through space.
Deltion Innovations has been contracted to advance the technology of CSA's "DESTIN" drill and then test it in a moon-like environment on Earth, states the company's spokesperson in a release. Testing of the drill is planned for late summer or early fall at NASA's Glen Research Centre in hope that it will be ready for a lunar prospector mission in 2018.
Deltion Innovations spun off from the Northern Centre for Advanced Technology (NORCAT)'s department for space technology in 2013. NORCAT's Innovation Mill is a part of the Ontario Network of Entrepreneurs (ONE), a collaborative network designed to aid commercialization.

The Tsunami has shifted the earths rotation.....
Spring lasted a few less days than Winter, we all know this, if your east of the Mississippi River!
Bonefish and Tarpon are starting to respond in kind, wondering if the migrating Tarpon will be here early....usually not regardless of the weather....but who knows the Polar Bears are headed south, breeding with Grizzlies!
That's not a good thing but they should stay out of Cleveland....Erie didn't freeze so they would have to take a bus.
I always look forward to the Tarpon showing in the basin's and backcountry and of course the Atlantic Side Flats.
Night Tarpon fishing under ideal conditions is a blast, especially up on a shallow flat.
The Star and Moon light reveals an exciting break in the inky black surface, shrimp popping Tarpon are suckers " pun intended " for a Gurgler Fly.
This is how it works...old guide with superior night vision and the hearing of a fox,
Spits out the command to cast 40 ft@ 10 o'clock as he grips the 1 million candle power spotlight.
The anxious angler( that would be you ) makes a precise 44 ft cast and on the first short pop
of the Gurgler comes up tight with his left hand igniting The Tarpon Bomb on the other end of the fly line.
The trusty,crusty old guide hits the switch on the spot light as the Tarpon Missile launches,
Head shaking, Red Eyes glaring, sparks shooting from his ass....demanding your immediate attention.

The Senate has scheduled a vote for Thursday to officially open debate on gun control legislation. Many senators, if not most, have already publicly stated their views on gun control. Do senators ever change their minds because of speeches made during Senate debate?
Yes. Members of Congress have occasionally acknowledged changing their minds during floor debate, although most of those frank admissions came before the modern stigma against flip-flopping. Staunch environmentalist Edmund Muskie, for example, decided to support funding for a nuclear reactor in 1975 after listening to a floor speech by John Pastore of Rhode Island. Speeches about obscure bills tend to have greater effect, because members of Congress may have weakly held views based solely on party affiliation or instructions. During an extraordinary four-day debate in 1960, Sens. Paul Douglas of Illinois and Wayne Morse of Oregon killed a bill involving private access to state-developed water sources. Although the bill sailed through committee with unanimous approval and no debate, Douglas and Morse successfully tarred it on the floor as an unprecedented giveaway of public water to private and corporate landowners. The abrupt change in a large number of votes suggests many senators didn't fully understand what they had been supporting until Douglas and Morse explained it to them. It's rare, if not unprecedented, for a senator to change his or her position on a major issue like gun control after hearing a single floor speech.
The Douglas-Morse floor debate didn't look anything like the dramatic portrayals of historic Senate speeches you see in major motion pictures. There were no nods of approval or gasps, nor the laudatory tapping of canes on the floor. Most of the time, the senators were speaking to an empty chamber. Just because no one is there, however, doesn't mean no one is listening. Every senator keeps C-Span on in his or her office. They rarely watch themselves, but a staffer reports back on important developments. Before the advent of C-Span, legislators had "squawk-boxes"—intercoms tuned to the floor debate—to keep them current. Before squawk boxes, senators sent staffers to keep detailed notes of speeches. (Some still do this, despite modern technology.)
Hollywood scenes portraying the old Senate aren't quite accurate, anyway. Senate attendance was higher during the 18th and 19th centuries not because speakers were more eloquent or legislators more diligent—they simply had nowhere else to go. Before construction of the Russell building in 1909, most senators read, wrote speeches, and corresponded with their constituents from their desks on the Senate floor. They probably paid about only slightly more attention to speeches than modern senators do to C-Span.
Even when the content of floor speeches doesn't persuade, they can still have major significance. In 1964, for example, Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois rose to announce his support for the Civil Rights Act. By all accounts, Dirksen gave a magnificent speech, popularizing the phrase "an idea whose time has come." The significance of the speech wasn't in its eloquence, though. Dirksen had been a fairly muted supporter of civil rights. By loudly proclaiming his position, Dirksen, who was the minority leader at the time, took away some of the cover that other Republicans had relied on in opposing the bill.

By Philip Caper, M.D.
Bangor Daily News (Maine), April 19, 2012
Marcus Welby, M.D., the iconic general practitioner of 1970s TV, will probably never make a comeback. As I described last month, the overwhelming preference of young doctors is to go into medical specialties rather than primary care, mostly due to the much greater earning power of specialists.
But there is another reason for this trend. During the past few decades, medical knowledge has dramatically expanded and many doctors decided that to keep up in their fields, they had to specialize.
This has led to a proliferation of specialists and subspecialists, resulting in growing fragmentation of medical care from a patient's perspective and creating a medical maze that many have trouble negotiating. It has also created gaps in the continuity of care.
The federal health care reform law creates many programs designed to deal with this problem. They may not be enough. But even without them, changes in the way medical care is delivered are taking place at an accelerating pace.
Hospitals are consolidating and buying up doctors' practices and other health care providers such as home health agencies, nursing homes and laboratories. Four systems are emerging in Maine centered around Bangor, Augusta, Lewiston-Auburn and Portland, and around 80 percent of Maine's doctors are employed by one of them.
As a result, solo practitioners such as Dr. Welby will mostly be replaced by teams of health care workers who will function under the umbrella of these emerging health care systems, no longer earning money solely by directly providing services. They will earn their increased incomes by saving money through better management of more expensive technology.
Spurred on by the federal government, doctors and hospitals are adopting electronic systems for financial, administrative and clinical records to help control costs and improve quality or efficiency. But they will succeed if, and only if, the financial incentives that drive so much of our behavior in health care are reformed.
Already under way is a movement away from fee-for-service and toward so-called bundled payments. Rather than paying for each individual service, payers such as health insurers and government will pay a flat rate to a health care system for all services for a group of beneficiaries.
Health care systems, no longer constrained by a specific list of reimbursable services, will be able to expand the range of benefits they provide, as long as they don't exceed their budget. They can do this by substituting low-cost services that are not now reimbursable but may be more appropriate, such as nursing home or home care, for more expensive high-tech services such as hospital care.
But just as fee-for-service can be abused by encouraging too many services, bundled payments can be abused by creating incentives to provide too little care. Most health care professionals would fight energetically against this temptation. The majority of us are committed to doing what's right for our patients and are not businessmen at heart.
The culture of health care must change, and return to one driven by a nonprofit mission of healing, not the bottom line.
Rising health care costs are crippling our ability as communities, states and as a nation to address other needs. They are eating into our wages and our ability to fund education, infrastructure, public safety, economic security and other priorities.
In almost all other wealthy countries, the level of public satisfaction with health care is much higher than it is in the U.S. despite much lower spending. In those countries, everybody is in the same nonprofit system, and people feel they are being treated fairly.
Compare that with the endless bickering, disinformation, class and age conflict and fear-mongering that permeates the debate about health care in the U.S. Much of that conflict is driven by arguments about money — who pays, who benefits and how much.
A single, nonprofit health care system in Maine and the U.S. would go a long way toward fixing that problem.

Flu season is just around the corner and beginning Monday, the public will be able to get their flu shots for free.
Everyone in Saskatchewan six months and older can get vaccinated at no charge from now until about the middle of November, Dr. Saqib Shahab, Saskatchewan's chief medical health officer, told the media Wednesday. The shot is offered at public health clinics or through some doctor or nurse practitioner offices.
New this year is the opportunity to get the shot as you refill your prescription, as more than 200 of the 360 community pharmacies will offer the vaccinations as well.
"We're really hoping that people who go to pharmacies regularly, and those are people who especially should get the flu shot, people with underlying risk factors, may find that also a convenient option to get the flu shot if their pharmacy is offering it," said Shahab.
Pregnant women, seniors, young kids and those with underlying health conditions such as asthma are the ones at highest risk of developing complications due to influenza.
The nasal vaccine, known as FluMist, will be available for kids between the ages of two and 17. That option should be available at public health clinics before the end of October.
Each year, about one-third of Saskatchewan's population gets vaccinated. Shahab anticipates that number to increase because of the new options available this year. He added 425,000 doses were ordered for this year. About 338,000 received a dose last year.

Titled "Elegy in the Classroom," part one of the "Arms of the Octopus" storyline hits the stands in "All-New X-Men Special" #1 from writer Mike Costa and artist Kris Anka. Four-fifths of the original X-Men take an afternoon to explore modern-day New York City and run afoul of Doctor Octopus. As chance would have it, the Superior Spider-Man also appears, setting up a story that is a natural convergence of Hulk, Spider-Man and the X-Men through the wonderful plot device of temporal displacement and trace radiation.
Costa jumps on top of the comic book science of it all and uses Hank McCoy (not-furred, but still massive) to serve as the point-of-view character for readers. Being in New York, Hank happens across a student from Empire State University studying (conveniently) radiation feedback in temporal displacements under one of McCoy's old professors. The writer dials the focus in tightly on Iceman and Beast, and then once more adjusts the focus tightly around McCoy. Costa's McCoy is nervous and goofy, but educated and eloquent. Iceman (Bobby Drake) is on par with the voice Brian Michael Bendis has established, but given a little more room to roam. With these personalities in place, the string of comic book coincidences hits its apex when Doctor Otto Octavius appears -- red hot with temporal radiation.
Artist Kris Anka might not have been my first choice for this adventure, but it's tough to argue with the results. Anka has established himself as a master designer of believable characters, consistently applying fashionable choices to the characters. His work is heavily tinged by manga and, in retrospect, a perfect choice for the adventures of everyone's favorite time-tossed mutants. Most noteworthy is Anka's interpretation of Henry McCoy. At this stage, McCoy is without fur, but bears the movement and posture of his present counterpart. Anka makes Beast a physical beast of a specimen, but handles him with enough care to make McCoy lovably real. Anka's confidence in his colorist is amazing, and it should be. Jordie Bellaire brings her shades of awesomeness to the X-Men's adventures and performs admirably. With the original navy blue and yellow X-Men togs, Spider-Man's current costume and the garish yellow-orange and green combination of Doctor Octopus' getup, Bellaire has no shortage of opportunity to flex the comic book color palettes in her repertoire.
"All-New X-Men Special" #1 is a delightful throwback comic book that delivers a succinct story, embedded in current continuity without having that continuity weigh it down. There is no mistaking the current predicaments of the characters involved, but Costa doesn't bludgeon the reader with unnecessary exposition. Instead, Costa settles into the story, sets the action in motion and delivers a comic book worthy of what Marvel Annuals used to deliver: an extra-sized story with connections to other books. The story begun in this comic may continue elsewhere, but "All-New X-Men Special" #1 is a satisfying read all by itself.

I'm 30 years old, male, and live in the UK. I've recently started to consider going travelling. I have various reasons for wanting to do this - nothing holding me here, I don't like my job, I have some money saved up, and I have recently had my heart broken.
The only decisions I've made are that I would be looking to go travelling for at least 6 months, if not more. I'd want to go in the next few months (is this realistic?). I have money saved, but would want something to come back to - probably looking at budgeting around £6,000 all in. Is this enough?
Other than that, I don't really know where to start. As in, where I would like to go, how I would like to travel etc.. Obviously I have thought about the typical Australia/NZ stuff, but I am not sure this appeals. Also, how do the different countries compare in terms of cost?
What else have I missed? I presume I need to look into Visas etc - will I have problems being 30 as opposed to the more typical 20 something?
Thank you for your help

This is an outstanding vintage 82" x 120" Linen Tablecloth. Fabulous design with lots of cut and embroidery work. The hem is scalloped and nicely hemstitched. The color is ivory or light beige. The four sides and corners are very pretty with lots of cut work. This Tablecloth would be beautiful on top on another colored tablecloth to show of the cut work design. In the center section and off to one side are the taupe embroidery initials MBC. Could this have been an early 1900's wedding gift? Found at an older home estate sale. Been stored away for many years.
The condition is very vintage good. No tears. There is some light staining all in one area ( see picture # 5). Since I do not normally deal in linens, I have not tried to remove the stains. It is reasonably priced because of this condition.

Sufficient time has passed to review the reasons President Bush swamped John Kerry in the overall national vote.
The main reason appears to be Bush's guru, Karl Rove, a brilliant political strategist, who takes pride in the fact that he orchestrated the strategy that got 13 million evangelical Christians to vote on Nov. 2.
Religion played a big part in the presidential election. Bush's faith-based initiative, directed primarily to the hard-right evangelists, put religion out front in the presidential campaigns.
Kerry's Catholic beliefs were also a factor in his defeat. When Bush made religion the overriding topic of the campaign, it brought out the anti-Catholic prejudices of the Religious Right in the heartland of America.
Bush uses his religion as a political tool and not as an act of faith. He mocks liberals, using "compassionate conservatism" as a political creed. Nowhere in his administration is there a belief in Jesus' liberal views.
Our president would like us to believe, as commander in chief of our armed forces, he is Davy Crockett, defending our country against the Mexicans at the Alamo, whereas in Iraq, it appears he is Gen. George Custer, leading our troops at Little Big Horn.

*John Legend's Get Lifted Film Co. is putting money behind the documentary "Southern Rites," about the legacy of segregated proms and a racially charged murder trial in Georgia's Montgomery County.
The crooner, his Get Lifted partner Mike Jackson and his manager Troy Carter of Atom Factory brought in financing to get the film completed and will now get an executive producer credit.
The movie is currently in post-production; the plan is to take "Southern Rites" to festivals once it's finished.
The directorial debut by photographer Gillian Laub is based on her study of the proms at the local high school. Though the south-central Georgia school was integrated in 1971, the proms remained separated along racial lines for years afterwards. The film tracks the divide that develops in the community as an older white man in put on trial for killing a younger African-American male.
This is all going on against the backdrop of the recently integrated proms and a campaign to elect the area's first black Sheriff. Laub herself becomes part of the story for her role in focusing attention on the town through her photographs

Let the indie bands hang with the big dogs where they deserve to be? Or let them shine on their own? Tough call. Next year I think I'll bring it back to one list, but for now, I wanted to highlight some great indie releases under a spotlight of their own. These were my favorite discoveries this year.
Kyng Breathe in the Water
This album grows on me more each time I listen. It's like Spiritual Beggars with a sprinkle of Alter Bridge. Melodic, soft and heavy in turns, and just flat out good. I saw them live in San Francisco with Clutch and Zakk Sabbath, but they were too loud for their own good and the music didn't get a chance to breathe the way it should. However, this album is definitely worth picking up, it's the only one that I've bumped the new Metallica for lately. I would have put this on my top five of the year if I had only one list.
Breathe in the Water
Year of the Cobra ..In the Shadows Below
The debut full length release of this Seattle duo is a revelation of slow burn sludge, tasty and timeless. White Wizard is an instant classic. Amy rocks the bass and vocals, __ kills it on drums. There's still a little of the LA rock fuzz punk from her previous band HDR in tracks like Temple of Apollo. The rest is pure slow stoner bliss.
The Watchers Sabbath Highway
Debut EP from new San Francisco stoner supergroup of sorts – the Watchers is made up of members of Spiralarms, Orchid, and . They've been touring heavily on the west coast since they put this EP together, catch them if you can!
Sabbath Highway
WhiteNails First Trip
Damn this is some solid heavy rock. Right in there with some of the best stoner type rock I've heard lately, this Quebec City band's debut gets you going right away with Damn Judas and just ramps it up from there. Dead in Time is just flat out killer. Keep an eye on these guys.
Electric Citizen Higher Time
Balls out female fronted rock and roll with a 60s/70s throwback feel and a punk attitude. This Cincinnati band kicks serious indie ass.

Oracle of Shadows and Light
"No more shall the strangelings hide
in the shadows! Welcome to their
mysterious world of magick and beauty,
where dreams are stranger than reality,
but-oh-so-likely to come true when you
awaken your own power."
~ Quote from the bottom of the box.
Title: Oracle of Shadows and Light
Author: Lucy Cavendish
Illustrator: Jasmine Becket-Griffith
Publisher: Blue Angle Publishing/Beyond Words Publishing
- Who are these majestic creatures? Where do they come from? What are they trying to tell us?
- The Oracle of Shadows and Light presents 45 magical beings that have crossed over from their realm to our world to deliver us some good news. Yet, the news they bring might also be a heads up. In this oracle deck you get faeries, witches, angels, ghosts, and deities. Each being gives a message that's to be followed, taken into consideration, or simply do as you please with.
- In this oracle deck, there's the Hindu Goddess Kali whose message is, "From death comes rebirth". Of course that happens! She's the reason why things die and are reborn again. For example, one breaks up with their partner, after the break up, a new partner comes along. A project is started then finished.
- One card that I find very interesting and honest to the dot is the, "Carnivorous Flower Fairy". Her message is, "A tempting offer has a high price". Of course it does! Why people never seem to take this message into consideration is beyond me. All have come across a situation as described by the carnivores flower fairy. But some are smart to turn the other way to avoid problems, and most are blind enough to give in and suffer the consequences.
- Next there's the three Greek Goddesses, "The Three Fates". Ah yes, most of us know about the Three Fates. And for those who don't, The three Fates "maneuvered" our destiny. In this oracle deck, The Three Fates deliver a message, "What comes around…". In life, many people fail to understand that causing intentional harm to another person brings bad consequences. Or, say you've had to sacrifice, as a compensation, there's a reward waiting for you.
- The back design is not reversible, though the back design is beautiful and creative. A yellow door that appears to be cracked has an antique golden key hole. There are no titles on the back of the cards. The size of the cards is approximately 5 ½ inches in height x 3 ¾ inches in width. The card stock quality is very good and durable. They have an absolute matted feel to them, almost glossy. The print transfer is fantastic. There are hardly any flaws. You can see the details in each card.
- The cards are fairly easy to shuffle. They are large and flexible. If you have rather small hands, it should not be a problem for you to shuffle the cards. The cards come in a very durable and sturdy box that will be sure to protect the cards and book from any damage, though the box provides a little bit of space for the cards to flow and rattle around. The box in which the cards come in shelves and stores perfectly, like a reading book, and it occupies little space at all.
- The guide book is written by Lucy Cavendish. The guide book contains 160 pages. Each page gives a story about who this creatures are, the message that they are delivering to you personally, and the divinatory message. The artwork is done by renowned artist, Jasmine Becket-Griffith. The art work is soft, tender, breathless and leaves me with a warm spot in my heart. It's low brow but with a twist of creative magic to it. The art is not altered by computer programs such as Photoshop. The art is hand made and painted with acrylic paints.
- Over all, I'm flattered to work with these majestic beings. These lovely creatures bring nothing but good and bliss to those who are open to working with them as well as letting them guide them through their everyday tasks. This deck is ideal for all teenagers who love story telling as well as adults.

text: After reading Ron's dentist and Jesusrocks confirmations I remembered sitting at my daughter's Christian high school football game when the stadium lights went out last October. Curious since there was no storm and the school lights stayed on. Had never happened before or since. I then remembered that it was the school's HOMECOMING game! Could it be that the Holy Spirit brought that to my mind?

Updating my lab this week I realized my bios was out of date on my Brix devices and decided to flash them prior to the 5.5 u2 install. Nothing to much out of the ordinary here, but the one thing to make sure you check is the CPU Settings after you upgrade. It seems to turn VT-x off by default, so make sure you turn it back on!
That said, being upgrade time again I always make a custom ISO for my BRIX because the ethernet card that is installed is non-standard. Not much has changed in terms of creating this, but the EsxImageProfile changed to Date driven vs. build number. So just make sure you watch out for that. Below is what I used. From there I simply added this to my Update Manager and pushed it out to my hosts.

Prosecutors reduce charges against Chris Brown from a felony assault charge to a misdemeanor simple assault charge, Chris Brown was released from jail a few moments ago. Brown's recent arrest could affect his probation assault case from 2009.
According to ABC 7
The 24-year-old singer is appearing in court today Monday 28, 2013 on an assault charge. Another man, Christopher Hollosy, also was charged with felony assault in the altercation that started just before 4:30 a.m. Sunday, police say. It happened near the W Hotel.
Brown is due back in court Nov. 20 in Los Angeles to update a judge on his probation. Prosecutors could seek a revocation of his probation or ask a judge to impose additional penalties.
Steve Cron, a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, said prosecutors and a judge may wait to see how the Washington case plays out before taking any action against Brown. "Just the fact that some guy says 'he hit me' doesn't mean he's in violation" of his probation, Cron said.
Chris needs to stop bleaching his hair every time he is blonde he acts a fool!!!

I was so excited to move back up north, I missed the beautiful white sparkly snow! How fun is it to go sledding in, build a snowman with the kids and even the fun snowball fight. Yes, I sure did miss having a real winter....I am so over that now! It's 8f out right now, oh where are you spring!
So to make it seem a bit warmer I thought I would follow suit as to some friends of mine and sew for the coming summer (seems like a life time away now) months. I broke down with the sale over at O+S and bought the hula hoopskirt pattern. I have been drooling over every single one that Petra has made. I hope to find some great bright summer fabric and Sweet pea a few more up like hers. I am so glad I bought too, it was so much fun to sew! Easy too! I love it even more after I sewn this one.
The top picture is side one of the great skirt!
The skirt is reversible too, how clever of Liesl!
I made a hopscotch top ala Nicole to go with her new skirt. The front of the shirt is simple the same as the back but with just a deeper neckline. Thank you Nicole for the ingenious idea! The hat is the Tulip hat from Cottage mama. I have made Sweet pea two of these hats before and they are her favorite. I did add a wee little bow on the top of it.
So are you sick of all this snow yet? I think I need to go on vacation to visit some friends in warmer weather!
Happy Sewing!


text: BACK TO FORM. Four-time Olympic champion Carl Lewis recovered his winning form, and Mary Decker Slaney extended her string of victories this season to 12 at the Ivo van Damme Memorial track meet in Brussels, Belgium. Lewis won the long jump and the 100-meter dash. Slaney dominated the 1,500 meters. Lewis, recovering from a pulled hamstring muscle, won the long jump with a leap of 28 feet, 3 1/2 inches, the longest jump in the world this year. Lewis edged fellow American Kirk Baptiste to win the 100-meter dash. Lewis' time in the 100 meters was a disappointing 10.24 seconds. Slaney's 3 minutes, 57.24 seconds was the fastest in the world this year in her event, but 5 seconds slower than Soviet runner Tatiana Kazankina's five-year-old world record. Slaney led from the start, with Olympic 3,000-meters champion Maricica Puica of Romania and Britain's Zola Budd trailing. It was Slaney's second victory of the year over Budd and third over the Romanian.

Your weight is a balancing act that features how many calories you consume plus the amount of energy you burn throughout the day. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 67% of adults age 20 years and over are overweight or obese. If you live your life as a couch potato or munch on too many potato chips, you may find a need to explore the many different home remedies for weight loss.
From drinking too much soda to going through a divorce, there are numerous everyday habits and events in life that can contribute to an increase in weight. Some of the most common causes of weight gain include [1]:
• Medications: While prescription drugs are supposed to make you feel better, some also come with side effects that can cause you to gain weight. Common culprits include steroids, antidepressants, diabetes medications,heartburn treatments, seizure preventatives, and birth control pills.
• Lifestyle: Your daily habits could be at the root of your weight gain. Perhaps you're working long hours and the stress is adding to your waistline. Are you an emotional eater? Not getting enough sleep? Have you recently quit smoking? Other lifestyle choices that can contribute to weight gain include not eating enough fiber, high-sugar snacks, sedentary job, hanging out with overeaters, heavy drinking, eating large portions, and skipping meals (which can slow down your metabolism).
• Life Changes: When the body goes through a change, such as hormonal changes associated with menopause and pregnancy in women, weight can become redistributed and accumulate in the body. Oftentimes, the midsection and hips are the hardest hit areas. Aging is another reason people gain weight because their metabolism starts to slow down as they get older.


text: Palin Says She's Got As Much Science Cred as Bill Nye 'He's a kids' show actor, he's not a scientist': Palin at climate-change-denying event By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff Posted Apr 15, 2016 6:37 AM CDT 392 comments Comments Sarah Palin speaks during a panel discussion before a preview of the film "Climate Hustle" on Capitol Hill on Thursday in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) (Newser) – Sarah Palin has taken on rapper Azealia Banks, Lena Dunham, and, of course, President Obama, but now she's taking on science itself via one of its most well-known representatives. "Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am," Palin said Thursday at a Capitol Hill event, per the Hill. "He's a kids' show actor, he's not a scientist." The former Alaska governor was speaking at an event promoting the flick Climate Hustle, which disputes human-caused climate change, a topic that Palin insists is simply "alarmism" brought about by "those, I think, who are controlling the narrative right now on changes in the weather." "I'm very passionate about this issue," Palin told Variety earlier this week. "We've been told by fearmongers that global warming is due to man's activities and this [movie] presents strong arguments against that in a very relatable way." Palin went a step further and warned parents to keep their kids safe from the science facts spewing out of Nye's mouth, advising them to tell the eager young brains "to ask those questions and not just believe what Bill Nye the Science Guy is trying to tell them," per the Hill. She even extrapolated her conspiracy theory to issues beyond climate change, imploring GOP presidential candidates to elaborate on how they'd make the scientific arena "less political," the Week reports. "Otherwise, it leads us to believe that so many things coming from perhaps the scientists could be bogus," she said. "If this is bogus, you know, what else are they trying to tell us and trying to control around if they can't get this one right?" (Palin will soon be on the air as a reality-TV judge.)
