Via CSMonitor:
The US appears ready to offer emissions-reductions targets at global climate talks next month that approximate levels in the energy and climate bill working its way through the US Senate.
Among other goals, the legislation aims to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions across the US economy by 3 percent below 2005 levels by 2012, 20 percent by 2020, 42 percent by 2030, and 83 percent by 2050.
… Developing countries have been insisting that developed countries aim high in terms of cutting emissions – a sore point that led a group of African negotiators to briefly walk out on pre-Copenhagen talks in Barcelona earlier this month.

Via New York Times:
" One goal of the Clean Water Act of 1972 was to upgrade the nation's sewer systems, many of them built more than a century ago, to handle growing populations and increasing runoff of rainwater and waste. During the 1970s and 1980s, Congress distributed more than $60 billion to cities to make sure that what goes into toilets, industrial drains and street grates would not endanger human health.
But despite those upgrades, many sewer systems are still frequently overwhelmed, according to a New York Times analysis of environmental data. As a result, sewage is spilling into waterways. "

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is sending investigators to the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant after a small amount of radiation was detected there.
About 150 employees were sent home Saturday afternoon after the radiation was detected at the central Pennsylvania plant.
Officials say there is no public health risk.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

Step Two: suck up your delicious beverage into the syringe.
Step Three: smile maniacally for the camera.
Step Four: Enjoy!
Step Five: Repeat as many times as necessary until you acheived the desired results.
Variation: Using a red liquid makes it look even cooler.
Believe it or not, there were actually more people at this party than just Kalev and I. We just happened to be the only ones cool enough** to actually take shots from a syringe. And so we recruited Nathan, who I like to refer to as Mr. I'll-do-another-shot-if-you'll-do-another-shot. And here he is, putting his money where his mouth is.
There was also a very hilarious conversation that ensued from this whole proceeding that I couldn't possible hope to reproduce in its entirety, but from which I now provide a few snippets that I can remember:
- "Beth needs to learn to swallow"
- "Go slower this time"
- "You can't always control it. Sometimes you just have to gulp"
- "It's not my fault you shot it all over my face!"
*In this case, it was some sort of toffee flavoured liquor.
**This may be explained by the fact that most of the people there were engineers and they were too busy discussing mathematical formulae and, I kid you not, the Fibonacci sequence. Let me repeat that: they were discussing the Fibonacci sequence at a party.


text: My drummer needs to quit being wussy. We are a new band..we have all known each other for at least 15 years We are in our late 30's and early 40's We opened up for local and national touring band ASKA a few months ago. The booking agent /sound man liked us and called us to headline on a Friday night. We played that show last Friday night and it went very well. WE got a voice mail last night that someone cancelled for this coming Friday night. Me (bass) and the guitar/vocals player are up for it..But the drummer/vocals has this thing about working all day and playing on Friday nights..We arent out looking for weekly Friday gigs but if a club calls and needs someone to fill a cancellation then I think business wise we should do it..Even if we did play the week before..It isnt going to be like this all the time..But, I called the drummer and he said he isnt up to doing two weekends in a row.This is really going to become an issue.. I thought of maybe getting another drummer and just having him do vocals only. I guess we will discuss that with him..and if he doesnt want to do that then we are screwed.

When Breastfeeding is Hard
2 comments:
I am so happy that you were able to fight through those months and nurse your baby! My own daughter had the C section issue and then an illness that took her almost to the brink of death, so for obvious reasons, she didn't get to nurse. She even was thinking of trying to get her milk going again, but it turned out she needed to just regain her health. Still with all of that, she felt really bad about it.ReplyDelete
I nursed all my seven, with only a few bumps in an otherwise smooth road, but when I began with my first in 1982, there was a lot less friendliness to public nursing, I became a very stealthy nurser, and my babies, probably rather smothered feeders. I am happy there has been at least some progress in the world for nursing mommies and their babies.
I agree with all of this Jessica! I feel just awful you suffered for so long. I've had babies who breastfeed easily and suffered through months of terrible nursing. It depends a lot on the baby is what I've discovered and that's something that no one tells you either! I also feel like modesty and breastfeeding shouldn't even be in the same discussion because breastfeeding is inherently not immodest. They're mutually different and opposed from each other! Great post Jess!ReplyDelete

For the person and their family that are living with a chronic illness, they need never to be ashamed to rely on the Lord God. He is their rock and fortress.
Today's Bible Verse:
Psalm 71: 3, "Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress."
What the verse means:
God is there for us all the time. We can always go to and rely on God. The Lord God is our rock and fortress.
Praying using the verses:
1. Heavenly Father, we rely on and thank you for being here for us.
2. Lord Jesus, we pray that we will continually place our confidence and trust in You.
3. Thank you for being our rock and our fortress.

Take a trip down memory lane with Executive Director of The Yiddish Cultural Center in Tel Aviv Bella Bryks-Klein as she retells the life of her father Rachmil Bryks, famous Yiddish author known for A Cat in the Ghetto. Recorded June 26,2011 at the Institute for Jewish Education, Los Angeles.

We are The California Institute for Yiddish Culture & Language (CIYCL). Since 1999 we have been challenging the fog of lost memory and ignorance about Yiddish culture. We work against the tide that separates most Jews alive today from their own remarkable heritage and that has put Yiddish at risk of expiring. We cherish and illuminate a vast legacy – a heritage which cannot be replicated. We are a spark of historical memory for the local and broader Jewish community, one that reaches beyond the normative Holocaust or Israel-related endeavors to keep alive the heart-and-soul culture that fed our people during a 1000-year long and vital period of our history. Our motto is "preservation through innovation." CIYCL is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.All stories by: CIYCL

This week's Throwback Thursday turns back the clock to the early stages of construction for Urban Capital Property Group's River City Condos, back in October 2011. Two tower cranes marked the site of River City 1 on the south side of King Street at River. The Saucier + Perrotte Architects and ZAS Architects-designed condominium development was an important first step in turning Toronto's West Don Lands into a neighbourhood. Less than four years later, the blocks to the southwest would host the Pan Am Games' Athletes Village.

Returning to the scene in 2017 reveals the completed River City 1. Also since completed, River City 2 is hidden from this vantage point, along with 99% of Phase 3, now under construction in the background. More new buildings populate the right side of the image, including TCHC homes on the west side of River, while the Canary Park condos on Bayview appear in the background. Also changed—the old access to the Bayview Extension between King and Queen streets has been replaced with the green space on the left, part of the new berm that protects the area from Don River floods.

The view above is primed to change again over the next several months as River City's third phase continues to rise into the neighbourhood skyline. A view captured from one block to the south on River Street reveals the third phase's growing impact.

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is challenging schools and youth groups to make a Christmas tree entirely from recycled materials.
A spokesperson said: "Get artistic with any type of recycled materials. Not only will you be creating a little seasonal sparkle . . . you will also be helping the environment by preventing waste going to landfill.
"Make your tree by Friday 18 December and email a photo of your finished festive masterpiece to email@example.com."
The council will feature some of its favourite designs on its Facebook and Twitter pages.
The challenge is open to any school or youth group in the ABC council area.
The tree must be able to stand up without support and should be constructed entirely from recycled materials.

This is it, you have taken the plunge, you purchased a new skin care line. You are committing to take better care of your skin! Good for you! So, you arrive home with bottles and tubes of products and you can't remember what the esthetician/sales person told you about what goes on first or third or last. You don't want to mix this up, your dream of softer glowing skin depends on getting this right! They aren't open now so you can't even call them.
Don't worry, there's lots of advice out there so I perused a few sites and compiled some of their tips along with my best practices and came up with a generic troubleshooting guide made just for you.
The answer is generally in the layering. Get the products on your skin in the right order and they will work more effectively. Now, I can't look into your bag to see what line you purchased but here are some clues to follow.
Whether it's morning or night, step one is to cleanse. So find the cleanser and try it out. Massage it in using a circular pattern and rinse it off with luke warm water.
Next look for your exfoliator – don't use this every day, 2-3 times a week is all you need.
Time for toner – this is actually a final step in the cleansing process and it helps to get rid of all the dirt and oils left behind. It may also be called an astringent.
Now let's look for your treatment products. Generally, work in order of the product's consistency from thinnest to thickest. You might have one or two serums to massage in, if one contains Vitamin C, anti-oxidants or stem cells, start with that one. Follow this with a serum containing peptides or hyaluronic acid.
Next, look for any products for spot treatments, this could include something for blemishes or something for skin lightening.
Hopefully you also have an eye cream in the mix, it is way better for the delicate skin around your eyes to use a special formula here instead of your normal face cream. Remember, less is more, too much product can leave you looking puffy.
Now, lock in all your treatment products with an all over moisturizer, or a night cream if it's night time.
Finally, if it's morning, finish with your sunscreen and allow it to set, then proceed to make-up.
Don't worry if your products don't include all the above steps, remember, this is a general guide. Work with the products to have and put them in order!
Now to deal with a few common mistakes:
- Skipping the cleansing - all I can say is Noooooo, don't skip it and don't substitute with soap!
- Exfoliating everyday - this is generally not necessary and can be too harsh for your skin. On the other hand, don't skip it altogether either.
- If your products are balling up when you apply them, the textures aren't compatible so give them a chance to dry in between.
- Touching your face…avoid this as it introduces bacteria to your skin, eeewww.
- Picking at blemishes – this is a no no unless of course you want to end up with scars.

Black Panther- Now You're Talkin' !
In 1966, the first Black superhero hit the shelves. Again from Marvel, the Black Panther was and still is a unique character in the annals of black superheroes. BP debuted in Fantastic Four #52 which was published months before the founding of the controversial and openly militant Black Panther Party.
The Black Panther is T'Challa, ruler and spiritual leader of the fictional African nation of Wakanda. His costume is one traditionally associated with his role as protector of his people. He derives his superpowers (enhanced strength and reflexes) from a special herb which is reserved for the holder of his office. Out of all the black heroes who would follow in his wake, Black Panther is remarkable for his role as an example of the dignified ruler of a prosperous nation, rather than a disenfranchised citizen protecting the common man in a world that has forgotten him. He's also the first African hero depicted in comics who's not a transplanted white guy.
1 comment:
I agree with all the plaudits you say, and imply, for T'Challa. So, believe me I say the following with all due respect: They should have left the Black Panther in the jungle.ReplyDelete
Like Tarzan, the Panther always seems so pathetic in the concrete canyons of a city. Only in their native jungle are they really kickass kings. As a reader of the Avengers, I always felt him so out of his weight class. Mostly, because he had no backup gimmick or weapon. All the other cool "mostly human" athlete crimefighters have something. Batman with his batarangs and belt, Captain America with his shield, Daredevil with his billy club, etc, etc.
Standing in the throne room of Kang in the 40th century, I found the Panther to be very out of place. Gliding near invisibly thru the jungle shadows in Wakanda, where he could suddenly flip up a tree stump to reveal an ultra-tech control panel, that tingled my toes.

Tokyo 2009 Preview: Nissan unveils Land Glider concept [w/VIDEO] — Autoblog Green
Nissan Land Glider Concept. Will it make it to production? Will be not too expensive.
Nissan Land Glider Concept. Will it make it to production? Will be not too expensive.
Here is the link: http://www.carscoops.com/2013/07/nissan-wants-its-own-better-renault.html
I would love to see this vehicle in production for a sub-20k or just 20k vehicle as long as it had decent range and charge times.
Still haven't made up my mind about this, but considering its intent this could have the potential of being the 3rd car specifically for work commutes. I never liked driving my pickup 35 miles every day to/from work, but i need my truck on the weekends for outdoor activities. I used to have a motorcycle so that on "nice" days during the summer i wouldn't get 12-15 mpg but just didn't make sense since "nice" days made up maybe 20 percent of the time (winter lasts a while in MN).
I have not noticed most people having a 3rd car (except collectors or sports cars) as the economics and garage space concerns really have not allowed the idea to make sense for most people. There is not a doubt in my mind this concept can eventually be in the $12-15k range. With the small footprint the car would take a little more space then my riding mower which im sure some people can find a way to sneak this car in their garage/driveway.
If this vehicle got 200 mile range and went 70mph then it could easily be car 2 for most families. One for commuting/daily errands and one for large errands/trips. In no way does the normal person need three cars to fit this into their life. Depending on how the vehicle is classified it may qualify for HOV access in most states which is a great perk in a commuter. A 200 mile range, 70 mph vehicle of this type would also be reasonable for business trips from Seattle to Portland or similar distance. I find it sad when I have 4 people from Portland in my office up here and they all drove their own pickup truck or beamer.
Again this is a concept right now and given major car companies record it won't see production in the US.

Nobody wants to help a complainer. So how can we deal with the bad things we want to complain about? I confess that I like to complain sometimes, about the weather, other people, the economy and current affairs. It never helps, all a complaint achieves is that it pollutes the environment. It reduces the room temperature to freezing point. So, here is a simple trick. When you feel like complaining add some analysis to the complaint. Put some thought into the why of your complaint and – snap! Like magic, the complaint will transform into an assessment. It will open new thoughts and new perspectives. People complain about bad weather? Just imagine a world without rain and you got yourself a new outlook. People complain about too much work, not enough sleep, rising prices? There is a grain of wisdom deep inside every complaint that, once uncovered, is a good steps towards the solution.
It is just when a complaint is nothing but a complaint that we waste our time. But we need to trust our instincts, our guts. The impulse to complain is a valuable signal. We just found a topic that is worth investigating.

Quickly catching up. The sale went wonderfully last week. We have the most lovely customers. I was fortunate to spend some of Friday and most of Saturday in the shoppe. I left feeling so good and thought 'I've had several retail/customer service gigs but none have been as enjoyable as this'. All the people that came through the doors seamed to be genuinely kind and cheerful. I mentioned this to my mother, thinking that it had been an exceptional few days, she said "that's how it always is". Amazing. Thanks to all of you for making her days, and mine, so rewarding.
Shelly and Jane will be having a Fall trunk show on September 12th. I'll try to have more details on that soon. You can also check out their website at www.figgyskids.com.

When the Rug is Pulled During the Dance THE UNPLANNED RE-POWER JOB
By Tom Neale, 1/10/2008
Tom Neale's logs have a new name and home on BoatUS Magazine. We know Tom has a loyal and devoted readership, so we wanted to share his tips and insights with an even bigger audience! For the latest articles, click here for Onboard With Tom Neale.
Yanmar is lowered through companionway
While January was still fresh and promising good voyages, we left our Christmas harbor and began heading farther south. The boat was running perfectly, the weather was beautiful and getting warmer, and I thought, "Life is good on "Chez Nous." I should learn — never put mouth on it. A few days later, while in the beautiful Indian River Basin of Florida, our motor started blowing billows of white steam from the exhaust and dramatically overheating. Just before that I had noticed bubbles in the fresh water coolant collection tank — a bad, bad sign. We drifted to a safe spot to anchor off the ICW, helpless except to sail which doesn't work without wind. Normally I fix whatever is broke. After the engine cooled down, I was able to tell that fresh water was getting into the pistons through a blown gasket, cracked head or block, or something else. I couldn't fix this at anchor. We were helpless, out on the water on a passage, far from home base, and possibly in need of a repower.
This is bad enough when you have time to make a leisurely decision that this is something you must do eventually, plan for it, shop around in home territory, and do it at your convenience. But this was like having a rug pulled out from under me with no warning, breaking both legs in the process. Helplessness doesn't begin to describe it. It may happen to you some day. If it does, maybe our experience will make it easier for you.
The cell phone was my first tool. It enabled me to do what is perhaps the most important thing needed if you find yourself in this situation: research. If I had been where there was no cell phone coverage, I think the expense of a satellite phone or several nights at a marina with good communications would have been worth it—so important is this phase.
Marine Pro removing old engine
I called around, talking to several Perkins repair people that I knew, and got the same bad news. They said that on this model (a very old model) there often occurred a crack in the fresh water cooled cast aluminum exhaust manifold at the forward end. The manifold alone cost over $8,000, when you could find one. Although the motor was otherwise running very well and could be repaired, it made no sense to us to do this, considering the miles we put on it each year and the far off places and sometimes dangerous seas in which we often find ourselves. So how do you go about an emergency repower job while on a cruise?
I called the local TowboatUS operator, Kevin Miller of Absolute Marine Towing & Salvage, Inc (321 951 7955). I told him my problem and that I needed a tow, but also explained that I couldn't give him a destination until I found someone acceptable to me to do the job. He gave me good information about several possibilities and said to call him when I was ready. I next started calling and interviewing.
I decided on Marine Pro of Cocoa, Florida (321 636 8950, www.marinepro.us ). I based my decision on several things. The owner, Frank Monachello, was willing to spend some time discussing my problem. I've worked on diesels for a long time and I could tell that he wasn't blowing smoke and that he knew his business very well. Also, he understood the difference between losing an engine while enroute and losing one while hanging around at a home base. And he was not only familiar with the Perkins, he knew about Yanmars and regularly sold and installed them. I felt I wanted a Yanmar because of the reports I've been hearing about them from many quarters over the years. Also, it was clear that his company had depth—that it was not just a one or two person show. He told me he could get people to me right away.
Next I had to choose a yard. Many in that area charge a significant fee to allow outside people to work in the yard. This may be fine if the yard has a high degree of expertise regarding the specific problem, but often that isn't the case. Lots of people can do a repower job, and make a mess of the situation. It's important to ask about this, because many yards won't tell you about their policy until you've had your tow and you're, in a sense, trapped there.
Several people whom I'd called had told me good things about the Eau Gallie Boatworks in Melbourne, FL, (321 254 1766). I called and spoke with Finnbarr P. Murphy, the proprietor. I could tell that he was busy, but he took the time to discuss the problem and his response was, "we can make it happen, whatever you need." And he had no problem with Marine Pro coming in. (I wrote about this yard and my experience there in an earlier column (#75) entitled "The Boutique Boatyard".)
Marc Eiler, VP and Service Manager of Marine Pro arrived right away. I observed closely. I could tell that he also knew his business. He listened to my description of symptoms, told me the likely possibilities (which were consistent with what I'd learned from my research) and started removing the components that would tell the story. He worked fast, brought all the tools he needed from the truck (no shipyard shuffle here, when they walk back and forth constantly because they "forgot something"). He took care to not make a mess and to protect other parts of the boat. These traits were shown by the other Marine Pro employees who were later on the job. It wasn't long before the earlier theories were confirmed.
The closest Yanmar distributor was Mastry Engine Center (727 522-9471, www.mastry.com ) in St. Petersburg, right across the Florida Peninsula. I'd known of them for years and had heard many good reports about them, so I'd already called them during the research phase and knew that they had what I would need in stock. My experience with them during the operation was squarely in line with the good reputation I'd heard reported over the years.
But then I found that much more research was needed, which I couldn't do. I didn't have the type of expertise that these issues required. Few do. There's much more to it than taking out an old engine and putting in a new. Issues include first of all whether you can actually get the old one out without what amounts to lighting off a stick of dynamite, the type of and reduction of the transmission, prop size and pitch, whether the new engine will fit on the old mount (a potentially expensive proposition if it won't), displacement and hull shape of the boat, performance characteristics and clearance of the prop from the hull (a larger prop may be too close).
Mark pressure tests Perkins manifold
I've seen many mechanics and yards with people who'll hum and haw and scratch, saying things like, "well, I dunno…maybe but we'll have to see." These people simply said, "we'll do it," and they did. We could have taken days to cut out the center cockpit floor and redo all the cables and wiring, but they said they'd get it up the companionway, one way or another. Their ingenuity was a pleasure to watch.
They quickly removed Perkins components that both decreased the size and lightened the load. These components included the head, transmission, bell housing, and manifolds. Many will say things like "Oh, it's going to take several days to dismantle this engine." It usually takes just a few hours if the mechanics know their business and there are no weird glitches. And when it came time to remove the block, they had chain hoists available to lift it up. They placed it on boards which they'd greased with mechanic's hand soap, and they slid it along the boards to be base of the companionway—and this was a very heavy 6 cylinder engine. We then hauled it up and swung it out onto their cart on the dock with our boom and their chain hoist. Marine Pro had me place extra lines on the boom and made an aluminum sleeve to protect the boom and its track. What others would moan about for days, they did in a few hours, because they knew their business and did it all the time. (You can buy this motor for parts or rebuild from Marine Pro. Contact them directly or contact me.)
Perkins is dismantled piece by piece
Getting the new Yanmar in was done essentially in the same manner, but it was easier because the engine was lighter and smaller (although with around 40 additional HP.) Much more expertise was required after setting it on the mounts. (We used the same mounts because they had planned it that way, with engine choice and the same type of transmission). Next came wiring harness hookups, control panel gauges, exhaust changes and other operations where experience paid off. Bret Parker, their Treasurer and Repower Manager, did much of this. Frank Monachello was often on scene, involved with both the "how to do it" and the "doing it."
Next came the sea trial. Bret was aboard and, although we thought the engine was great, he said that another inch of prop was needed. If you buy a new prop they will give you a repitch if they do a repower—so difficult is it to get the precisely correct pitch. This made the boat perform even better.
I hope that this never happens to you. But if it does, the bottom line from what we learned is that spending the time to research the problem and finding the right people are the two most important things to do. This may mean the loss of a few days, but it'll be worth it.

Profoundness, can be found in the most unlikely places. In the words of 'System of the Down': "You know that every time I try to go where I really want to be, it's already where I am, cause I'm already there."

Hey No One!
Just wanted to say that I'm loving the blog. As I was reading this post, the mind here is saying that Africa (as per your example) is still 'out there' even though I'm not there at the moment. Not just in thought. Though I guess your 'wherever you go, there you are' explains it somewhat to me.I guess that whatever 'I' am experiening here at the moment is the totality of it?
I guess I'm stuck in a point of view and can't see the whole picture. Sorry if this sounds confusing. It just feels like there's a me here experiencing whatever I am experencing at the moment, while 'others' out there are also experiencing different things elsewhere, causing these feelings of separation.
Thanks for bearing with me :-)
I love that System of a Down song! Sugar!

Hi Chris, thanks for commenting. The things we seem to hang onto pure existence can seem very complex, especially to fine minds that seem to work well. Everyone is the whole world, and all those apparently separate lights are one light, and that world, I guess, is perception with or without an "me" overlaying it. Or something like that!

Thanks No One for your response. Yeah I guess it's like Catherine Harding once said on the UGC: One light, many lamps.When that is heard here though, it seems like Awareness has split itself into 6 billion different pieces and that no one gets to see the 'whole' so to speak. Perhaps when I hear things about Oneness, I'm expecting a 'one' that sees and knows the totality and I'm neglectng my own experience?
Guess I'll have to sit with this for a while.
Would love to seeor hear an interview wih you BTW!
Thanks again

It's confusing to know anything about how this oneness (or whatever it is):
Sometimes everything observed is me and simultaneously I have no sense of self doing anything.
Other times, I see myself everywhere and some part of me feels like I am doing all this but I am not sure how I am doing it (like opening and closing me hand, I can do it, but not sure how).
Other times, I feel no sense of I and there is no connection to anything I see even as I witness it as me.
And there are times I don't feel I am here at all and everything seen is just happening like nonexistent exiting. The totality of groundless empty void and completely full.
Most of time, it's just changing states of awareness/experiences and a witness that is too confused to try to figure any of this out.
Confusion seems to be directly linked to whatever this is (I like to call it love).

Nothing wrong with a bit of confusion. Whatever it is that seems to happen, must.

Community justice advocate Nelson Hopkins Sr. appeals conviction for third robbery
A community justice advocate convicted of his third robbery should have been allowed to make a statement at his sentencing hearing.
That's the contention of lawyers appealing the 2012 conviction of Nelson Hopkins Sr. following his robbery of a Blue Springs pizza store.
Missouri appellate court justices heard Hopkins' appeal Wednesday at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law.
Hopkins pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree robbery. Because of Hopkins' two previous robbery convictions, the court considered him a "prior and persistent offender."
A Jackson County Circuit Court judge sentenced Hopkins to two 20-year prison terms, to run concurrently.
Hopkins' written appeal maintained the court should have allowed him to make a statement during the hearing, adding that he deserves to be resentenced.
"That is the ultimate goal, to get Mr. Hopkins back to sentencing," Damien de Loyola, representing Hopkins, told three judges Wednesday.
Shaun Mackelprang, assistant Missouri attorney general, disagreed. Errors in sentencing, he had written, should have been brought to the court's attention during the hearing. Hopkins, Mackelprang said Wednesday, "is supporting an overhaul of Missouri criminal code for no good reason."
Hopkins had founded a business helping inmates prepare parole plans. He robbed the pizza store in June 2011.
Hopkins has explained the robbery as the culmination of several factors, including depression following the unsolved 2009 murder of his 17-year-old son, Nelson Hopkins Jr.
The court should render its opinion within 60 days, said Cindy Martin, Missouri Court of Appeals Western District judge.

I am exhausted in every sense of the word.
It's time to leave Korea. I know it's time to move on, but that doesn't make it any easier to leave. My life will never be this way ever again, and that's something that sits heavily with me. There are no words to describe what these past two years have meant to me, or how much it breaks my heart to close this chapter.
I never predicted that life would take me here, but I'm so immensely thankful that it did.

There are numerous other clinical practice guidelines that address the management of CNCP with opioids. In preparation for developing the Canadian Guideline, searches in MEDLINE and www.guideline.gov up to February 2009 were conducted with 15 relevant guidelines selected for a detailed evaluation. This evaluation determined that most guidelines were either focused on a specific health problem (fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, osteoarthritis, low-back pain) or were out-of-date.
Three current guidelines are similar to the Canadian Guideline in terms of scope, population, development, sponsorship, recommendations, and presentation.
When work began on the Canadian Guideline, only one of these was published — the American Society of the Interventional Pain Physicians guideline, originally published in 2006 (Trescot 2006) and updated in 2008 (Trescot 2008): however, the target audience was interventional pain specialists.
In 2009, when the Canadian Guideline development was well underway, two other similar guidelines were published. The guideline of the American Pain Society/American Academy of Pain Medicine (Chou 2009) has additional recommendations not included in the Canadian Guideline: treatment of breakthrough pain, management of side effects, selection of short-acting versus long-acting preparations, special issues with methadone, and awareness of state laws. The Utah Department of Health guideline (Utah Department of Health 2009) is in fact a compilation of recommendations from six other guidelines on the management of CNCP with opioids. There are no major discrepancies between the Utah and the Canadian Guideline.

MOST CAD SYSTEMS use two methods to do circuit design: connectivity and geometry.
ELECTRIC IS DIFFERENT because it uses connectivity for all design, even Integrated Circuit layout. This means that you place components (MOS transistors, contacts, etc.) and draw wires (metal-2, polysilicon, etc.) to connect them. The screen shows the true geometry, but it knows the connectivity too.
The advantages of connectivity-based IC layout are many:
The disadvantages of connectivity-based IC layout are also known:

|Fresh Homemade Salsa
There are still more new bugs, the latest being an infestation of red aphids on the tomatoes. The leaves may be poisonous to humans but not to all bugs!
As summer is winding down, I would say this is our best year so far on amount of produce harvested, but we have also planted more beds then ever as well. In the bug and disease department, the powdery mildew, aphids, and bean beetles have been the worst this year. So what is the glimmer of hope I want to discuss? Is it by planting more you will get more? Well this would makes sense, but that also means much more work. No, the glimmer of hope is in dealing with the large number of plant diseases and pests. There seems to be no end and the battle rages on... Just look at how many different sprays and powders that you can buy to combat the bugs and diseases. Wouldn't it be nice to have disease and pest free plants without adding scores of chemicals to combat them? Like in the Garden of Eden perhaps? Is it possible now? A book I read seems to indicate this, but is it too good to be true?
I read from the book called "An Agricultural Testament" by Sir Albert Howard, published in 1943, about how he did this very thing. Sir Albert talks about a composting process developed in Indore India, after which it is named. The Indore process uses plant and animal waste to create a healthy, living humus teaming with microbes. The idea is to create and maintain healthy soil, which in turn will give health and life to the plants growing in it. Sir Albert further extends this logic to propose that a person eating these healthier plants, will in turn be healthier. He gives results and studies from his own findings after years of experience. I don't have the resources to make the compost the way it is laid out in the book, but I can get some horse manure and attempt to make better soil for the plants. This will hopefully lead to healthier plants, which in turn will make us healthier.
An excerpt from the book below pretty much sums up the need to return to natural farming techniques, published in 1943!:
The flooding of the English market with cheap food, grown anywhere and anyhow, forced the farmers of this country to throw to the winds the old and well-tried principles of mixed farming, and to save themselves from bankruptcy by reducing the cost of production. But this temporary salvation was paid for by loss of fertility. Mother earth has recorded her disapproval by the steady growth of disease in crops, animals, and mankind. The spraying machine was called in to protect the plant; vaccines and serums the animal; in the last resort the afflicted live stock are slaughtered and burnt. This policy is failing before our eyes. The population, fed on improperly grown food, has to be bolstered up by an expensive system of patent medicines, panel doctors, dispensaries, hospitals, and convalescent homes.

Hansen Yuncken is one of Australia's leading privately owned construction companies. Established in Victoria in 1918, the company has grown to more than 650 employees and has an annual turnover exceeding AU$1 billion. "Innovation is at the core of our business plan," says Michael Parkes, project manager at Hansen Yuncken. "It's definitely part of our business plan to investigate, adopt, or develop any tool that gives us an edge or helps us deliver our projects more efficiently."
In 2010, that attitude led Hansen Yuncken to begin work on HYway—a sophisticated in-house collaboration and information management platform. This groundbreaking system was designed to integrate the company's many disparate systems and provide intelligent reporting across the enterprise, especially on large projects involving geographically dispersed participants performing roles that were typically silos within the organization.
"BIM 360 Field and HYway not only have changed the way we operate on job sites, but have also made us more transparent and better informed across the enterprise."
Joe Barr, CEO, Hansen Yuncken
Traditionally, Hansen Yuncken—like many construction companies—relied upon spreadsheets to connect disparate systems. "We recognized the need to move away from storing information in disconnected silos and into sharing information via linked databases and platforms that support increased efficiency in process, communication, and relationships," says Parkes, who currently manages the HYway project.
The first step in the development of HYway was carefully analyzing every information management system operating within the company and deciding which to keep and which to phase out of operations. For each system the company decided to keep, the development team worked out how to bring it into a database with a front-end dashboard. "Initially, our goal was to help our employees efficiently capture the company's in-house 2D data—which is generally less complex and contained in relatively small files—through electronic forms and processes, rather than paper-based systems," says Parkes.
After completing the initial development and implementation, Hansen Yuncken sought a way to integrate more complex 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) content into the HYway. For help with this process, Hansen Yuncken relied upon Autodesk® BIM 360™ Field, which enabled the company to integrate data from the field into HYway dashboards via an Autodesk application programming interface (API). This integration, in turn, helped Hansen Yuncken convert its paper-based field processes into digital workflows.
This approach has changed the way field employees are able to work. "Tasks that used to require a few hours on-site, followed by several more doing paperwork in the office, can now be done completely onsite—paperwork included—with BIM 360 Field," says Parkes. That allows the employees to spend more time doing what they are passionate about and less in the office.
"Areas that have seen particular improvement are the company's jobsite quality, safety, and commissioning processes. "We are trying to develop HYway and BIM 360 Field to replace those systems with electronic systems onsite," says Parkes. "BIM 360 Field and HYway allow our safety personnel to efficiently capture data on job sites using iPads, while eliminating lengthy back-and-forth commutes to and from the office to complete paperwork," says Parkes.
"BIM 360 Field and HYway allow our safety personnel to efficiently capture data on job sites using iPads, while eliminating lengthy back-and-forth commutes to and from the office to complete paperwork."
Michael Parkes, Project Manager, HYway, Hansen Yuncken
Hansen Yuncken has taken an enterprise approach to the rollout of BIM 360 and its mobile data-capture processes, with information and data flowing from the field up through the organization in a very structured and methodical way. "Our expectation is that our supply chain, our subcontractors, and their contractual obligations with us will all use this new electronic environment," says Parkes.
Ultimately, the company believes that BIM 360 Field and the HYway portal will help connect every one of its external projects with its internal business units and give them the data they need to drill into every project site, more clearly understand the root causes of concerns, and make better-informed decisions.
Those benefits are experienced at every level of the company. "I can gain a view of our business development pipeline in two or three minutes via this portal, whereas previously it would have taken two or three days to get a number of reports generated and collated," says Joe Barr, CEO of Hansen Yuncken.
"BIM 360 Field and HYway not only have changed the way we operate on job sites, but have also made us more transparent and better informed across the enterprise," adds Barr. HYway and BIM 360 have also changed the way in which the company bids on new projects. "We anticipate a much better return as a result."

Nucaptcha Target A Captive Audience
In my line of work I have to verify that I am indeed a human numerous times per day. It's not unreasonable to use captcha, although you sometimes have to reload time after time because the deformity of the words makes them illegible. That is all about to end though as we enter the era heralded by a company called Nucaptcha, it's captcha, with adverts! Instead of sitting scratching you head trying to figure out it that's a b or p you watch a short advertising presentation and then you'll be asked to identify and retype a part of the message to proceed.
Most of us use tools which block pop ups and other forms of adverts so advertising agencies are forced to come up with new ideas of how they can present their message to us. As they put it in their promo video it is a "new revenue opportunity; premium ad rate; engagement = recall" But why do we use popup blockers? Sure it prevents malware introducing itself to your machine and unwanted windows appearing in front of the thing you wanted to look at with irrelevant rubbish but surely another reason we don't want it is because people generally don't like advertising, at least they don't like it the way it exists at present. There are some good adverts around, some that are interesting and artistic, intelligent and well produced but for every one of those, how many are there that make you want to throw something hard and heavy at the TV screen/monitor/radio because they are badly made, clumsy, lack-witted insults to the intelligence?
I used to think it was coincidence that all of the advertising occurs at seven minutes then twenty minutes past the hour on every commercial TV station across the Freeview system. Then I gave it a moment's thought and concluded otherwise. Because the viewer hates advertising they surf as soon as the adverts begin so if there are only adverts available, instead of not being subjected to the sponsors' messages they are actually increasing the number of adverts they see. If an ad lasts 30 seconds we'll see six in a three minute ad break, if we surf and spend around 5 seconds on each ad we'll still see enough of the message to absorb it but in those 3 minutes we'll now see approximately 36 commercial messages.
So Nucaptcha has become what captch was invented to defeat. While it stops robots getting into spaces where they could generate copious amounts of spam it still has the capability of sneaking at least one little paid message in every time it is used.
Of course they see it differently; they claim that it's all about security and user friendliness. With their animation the text is clearer than the deformed text of yore which makes Nucaptcha easier to use. It just happens to be a platform where advertisers pay to put a message. And it's not subtle either. If you hated having to click away from or close every new popup this is going to drive you intercontinental styles of ballistic. If you do miss the text on the first go round you have to wait until it comes around again while a really distracting video plays out.
It seems 100 billion (US) captchas were solved in 2009 and that number is only set to increase as more and more people have access to the web globally. Depending on the size and length of the video, Nucaptcha will charge their clients between $0.10 and $1.00 per event. The company started operations in June 2010 and is embedded in 3,500 websites at the time of writing. 5 million captchas solved in September and it looks like double that for October. I'm not against their chutzpah, they've been going less than six months and already their clients include Electronic Arts, Disney and Activision among others. Advertisers in the automotive, financial and entertainment markets have also expressed interest but can we hope that the Nucaptchas will be suited to the website that they are embedded in or can we expect to see annoying, untargeted advertising every time we have to prove we're human and, by implication, a revenue stream?

A labour shortage in Japan is forcing businesses to hike wages to the extent that the country's job market could become "overheated" in the next few years, according to economists at JPMorgan.
Higher wages would support household spending power, amid rising prices, in the world's third-largest economy - a lower purchasing power would impact consumer spending, threatening to disrupt Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's efforts to pull the Japanese economy out of weak growth.
However, the nation is within a few years of an overheated job market that makes inflation, not deflation, Japan's challenge, said JPMorgan economist Masaaki Kanno.
Employee's Market
Tomoyuki Nishio, chief executive at Nishio Glass & Mirror, which makes display counters, said he could not hire anyone unless he offered higher wages, following a drop in the number of job applicants.
Tempstaff, Japan's largest temporary staffing solutions firm by revenue, has witnessed a surge in demand from companies for clerical workers, especially in the finance, construction and information technology industries, according to spokeswoman Kiyoko Nakamata.
The agency proposes to boost the fees it charges clients, for the temporary workers, by 3% to 5%.
The number of graduates entering the job-search market in the private sector hovers at a 13-year low of 425,700 in the year through this month, according to Recruit Works Institute.
"I will increase pay even more this year if business continues to improve," Nishio, whose Tokyo-based firms caters to Gucci, Chanel and Coach, told Bloomberg.
"By 2017, the focus of the argument will shift to how to contain inflation -- once the fire is set, it spreads really quickly," said Kanno, JPM's chief Japan economist in Tokyo, who previously worked at the country's central bank.
"In two or three years, the wage increases will be more remarkable due to the labor market heating up," Kanno told the news agency.
A "widening employment gap" would sustain wage gains, which could start exceeding inflation as soon as next year, Daiju Aoki, a UBS economist in Tokyo said in a 28 February note to clients.
Inflation Target
Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said earlier in February that Japan would witness 2% inflation around the second half of fiscal 2014 through early fiscal 2015.
Kuroda's statement came a day after the Japanese Nikkei share average dropped nearly 2% and entered "technical correction" - defined as a drop of 10% or more from the preceding peak.
The Nikkei's drop, on 3 February, came as investors digested corporate earnings data amid reports of slowing economic growth in China.
Japan's labour force declined to 65 million in January 2014 from a high of 69 million in June 1997, led by younger workers. Those aged 15 to 24 plunged to 4.9 million from 8.9 million over the same period, government data showed.
Both BOJ and Goldman Sachs have asked Japanese business leaders to increase wages, with the investment banking major warning that wages ought to increase for "Abenomics" to succeed.

We've all been there: manuscript in one hand, torch in the other. So you've come to a tough spot and no matter what you write it sounds like drivel. Questions surface in your mind…Why did I write this? What was I thinking? Is there anymore chocolate in the house? You're questioning your ability, your self-worth and your manuscript has become public enemy number one. With torch in hand you flick that baby on and aim.
Yes, those pages may be calling for flames, but instead set the manuscript down, get out of your pajamas and go outside. This is the time you need to recharge and buy more chocolate. Instead of burning all that hard work—celebrate! You've hit a rough spot, which means you're getting somewhere. The first few drafts are playgrounds. You're allowed run with your wild ideas, add those crazy characters… DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. You may need to wait a few days, a week or even a month and then come back to your work with fresh eyes, so you can rediscover the magic that inspired you in the first place. Yes, you may need some careful editing and a jumbo eraser, but that's part of the process.
If you're feeling really lost and still have the itch to burn, try choosing a scene that made your heart sing. A scene that was so vivid in your head while writing, that you thought you were living it. Get inspired by your own words. Leave behind the troublesome character or plot section. Go to something more fun. You can always come back. Maybe during this process you'll discover you don't need the character or the scene or you'll find a new plotline that's even better.
To keep my manuscript away from the flames I use an outline. I don't normally follow a strict structure while writing, but I do like an outline, when self-doubt creeps in. An outline brings you back to the story and helps you visualize your first intentions. It's also is a good tool for modifying your plot without having to rewrite numerous scenes. Use your outline as a map. You can wander off the path, but you always have a way back to your storyline. This will save you time, give you the confidence to carry on and keep your manuscript from crisping to ash.
All in all you would never burn your favorite book, so why would you want to destroy a part of you? Not every sentence, character or scene is going to make it into your final manuscript, but you have to be willing to accept the burn worthy writing as part of the process, as part of your growth, and what makes you a writer. So blow out the torch and keep on writing!

Flickr photo by Prince RoyNow I know why I never take my family out to eat. It's only partly because it costs a fortune and because my kids will sit for all of seven minutes before the game of hide-and-seek under other patrons' tables starts up -- but it's because of those awful CALORIES.
Enter KFC's Double Down, 540 calories of salty bacon and cheese goodness sandwiched between fried chicken. You've heard a lot of talk about this. The guys in my office are in love with this sandwich and regularly make a lunchtime pilgrimage.
I've privately cringed at the thought of such a high-fat lunch, but recently the The Week featured a list of seven popular chain-restaurant meals that make KFC's now infamous Double Down sandwich look like something they'd serve at a weight-loss spa.
I honestly didn't think it possible to cram upward of 4,000 calories and 4,000 mg of salt (twice the recommended daily intake) into a singular midday meal, but here's just a few to prove me wrong.
Beef Back Ribs from Claim Jumper = 4,301 calories and 7,623 mg of salt
Fresh Mex Sampler from Chevys = 2,560 calories and 4,130 mg of salt
Jalapeno Smokehouse Burger from Chili's = 2,130 calories and 6,460 mg of salt
I'm surprised no one mentioned that onion from Outback Steakhouse. I don't even want to know ... find more of America's Worst Meals at The Week.
Truthfully, I wasn't shocked about the ribs and burgers being bad for you. But, upon further investigation, I was quite stunned to find that some of the so-called healthy foods I eat for lunch on a regular basis could give the Double-Down a run for its money. Maybe I'll reconsider joining the gang for the next lunch trip ...
Falafel. Deep fried and alone -- without the yogurt sauce that makes them so tasty -- these can run 230 calories per ball or patty, and I always eat at least two or three. In a pita, no less.
Rice and bean burrito. The beans are a great source of protein and fiber, but add the high-calorie rice, wrap, and sour cream that makes them so gooey and yummy and you've got a major fat blast -- upward of 600 calories or more.
Pizza. Even when I use the power towel trick and go with a more authentic, pizza parlor slice with a thin whole-wheat crust and minimal cheese, I'm looking roundabouts at 250 calories a slice. And it's impossible to only eat one. I mean, that crust is so thin ...
Salad. All the good stuff is ruined by the bad stuff we pour on top of it. Whether made with oil such as balsamic vinaigrette or cream-based like French or blue cheese, salad dressings are mostly all fat and range from 40 to 90 calories a spoonful. Again, stop at just one? Not me!

Antioxidants: Bilberry extract, grape see extract, citrus bioflavonoid, redwine extract pine bark extract, green tea extract, mangosteen extract, noni extract and pomegranate extract.
Antioxidants play a very important role in our lives and the best part of the story is that they can easily be found in some of the world's best loved food ingredients. They are generally defined as organic ingredients that prevent the process of oxidation in our bodies. Present most commonly in juicy citrus fruits as well as in food ingredients like Bilberry Extract, Grape See Extract, Citrus Bioflavonoid, Redwine Extract, Pine Bark Extract, Green Tea Extract, Mangosteen Extract, Noni Extract and Pomegranate Extract, Antioxidants play a very important role in regulating the optimal condition of our health. Their role in protecting our health is one that encompasses a number of vital functions. The most important function of Antioxidants is that they destroy the free radicals that can cause immense damages to our cells. These free radicals, which are produced in our body as a result of the process of oxidation, can prove extremely dangerous to our system. They can destroy the various positive cells of the body and also cause harm to our connective tissues. This can cause a breakdown of the process of blood circulation of our body and can lead to heart attacks as well as cerebral strokes. By destroying these malefic free radicals, Antioxidants like Acacia, prevent further damage to our bodies and also help us to recover from the damage that has already been caused.
Free radicals are formed almost every second of our existence. Beginning with simple processes like breathing, oxygen reacts inside our body, in a process that gives birth to these free radicals. These radicals then flow along our veins and blood, damaging our positive cells and also harming the delicate linings of our internal body walls. These risks are increased in the case of chain smokers or individuals who rely heavily on sleeping pills as well as pain killers like aspirin. The more Antioxidants we consume the better are our chances of recovery from the harmful effects of these free radicals. There are some Antioxidants that are produced naturally within our bodies. These are Antioxidants like Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, and Glutathione. Superoxide Dismutase that breaks the oxidant cells and transforms them to Hydrogen Peroxide. Besides these, there are more than 4,000 compounds in foods that act as Antioxidants. Most of these food ingredients are rich sources of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene and the mineral Selenium, which are a few of the most researched forms of Antioxidants. Thus, we should always ensure that we take full advantage of the delicious gifts of Antioxidants that nature has gifted us with.
