long do essential oils last in the body?
Essential oils will last 12 - 24 hours in the body depending on several factors: viscosity, concentration, application method (massage or diffuser), skin type and to which body part the oils were applied. After entering the blood stream, essential oils are circulated to the tissues and organs. They will eventually pass into the lymphatic system and will then be eliminated through sweat and normal bodily functions. Combined with massage, the effect of essential oils can last for days. Also, due to the link with the emotional centers of the brain, the effect of a subtle scent can leave an impression for a lifetime. .

When the Nuclear Safety Commission in Japan reviewed safety-design guidelines for nuclear plants in 1990, the regulatory agency explicitly ruled out the need to consider prolonged AC power loss. In other words, nothing like the catastrophe at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station was possibleano tsunami of 45 feet could swamp a nuclear power station and knock out its emergency systems. No blackout could last for days. No triple meltdown could occur. Nothing like this could ever happen. Until it didaover the course of a week in March 2011. In this volume and in gripping detail, the Independent Investigation Commission on the Fukushima Nuclear Accident, a civilian-led group, presents a thorough and powerful account of what happened within hours and days after this nuclear disaster, the second worst in history. It documents the findings of a working group of more than thirty people, including natural scientists and engineers, social scientists and researchers, business people, lawyers, and journalists, who researched this crisis involving multiple simultaneous dangers. They conducted over 300 investigative interviews to collect testimony from relevant individuals. The responsibility of this committee was to act as an external ombudsman, summarizing its conclusions in the form of an original report, published in Japanese in February 2012. This has now been substantially rewritten and revised for this English-language edition. The work reveals the truth behind the tragic saga of the multiple catastrophic accidents at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.It serves as a valuable and essential historical reference, which will help to inform and guide future nuclear safety and policy in both Japan and internationally.... when one generator failed due to an Earth fault in a switchboardathe connection loss between electrical devices and the ground, caused ...

Strawberry shortcake. Is there a better summer dessert? I think not!
The Modern Bakers are baking their way through The Modern Baker Cookbook by Nick Malgieri. We are now in cakes. These little shortcakes were quite easy to put together. N.M.'s strategy of using the food processor is simple and I'm hooked on this process for pie crusts. I combined the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the food processor. I pulsed in the cold butter and then the egg and buttermilk until it all became a ball. I then made six large shortcakes by hand and placed them on a silpat to bake. In 20 minutes I had perfectly golden shortcakes. These beat those spongy store-bought shortcakes any day!

Tangible Instability: Contemporary Art in Romania work by Ioan Godeanu, Teodor Graur, Dan Perjovschi, Lia Perjovschi
September 11 – October 31/ 2003
The four installation pieces which comprise this exhibition emphasize the difficulties Romanians face during a period of political, economic, and social transition. After a bloody revolution in 1989, the oppressive communist dictatorship led by Nicolae Ceausescu was overthrown by a coalition of center-right parties. Since the revolution, Romania has been in a phase of transition as it approaches possible admission to the European Union in 2007.
Even after the so-called revolution, much in Romania has remained unchanged. Since 1989, Romanians have faced increased economic disparity; the middle class has nearly vanished as inflation has soared to more than 40% per year. Popular artistic practice has remained stuck in the prerevolutionary tradition, where artists are encouraged to create works that imitate early twentieth century masters such as Cézanne and Picasso or deal with religious themes and iconography.
Artists in the exhibition include Dan Perjovschi, Lia Perjovschi, Teodor Graur and Ioan Godeanu. Each of their installation pieces contain an interactive component. For instance, Dan Perjovschi's installation "ReAct" includes social and political drawings that visitors can transfer directly onto the wall by using carbon paper. Lia Perjovschi asks visitors to contribute to her installation "Endless Collection" – two panels, each containing 100 photographs of globes that she collected on her travels throughout the world – by bringing other objects featuring globes to the reception and anytime during the show.
The artists of this exhibition push the boundaries of contemporary Romanian art. They analyze the changes that are taking place, and bring to light the critical questions that Romanians must face in a period of transition and instability.

Consumer Sentiment Up as 2014 Begins
Jan 15, 2014, 02:56 EST
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the new year begins, consumers are feeling better about the economy than they have since last summer, according the latest monthly NACS Consumer Fuels Survey that examines how gas prices affect consumer sentiment.
Though most consumers still say that they are pessimistic about the economy, 43% of consumers say that they are optimistic about the economy, the highest level of optimism since July 2013. The rise in optimism is seen consistently across all parts the country, even in the Northeast and Midwest, where consumers were affected by record-cold temperatures during the January 7-9 polling period.
For more than a year, at least 83% of consumers have said that gas prices impact their feelings about the economy and that sentiment continued in the first month of the new year, with 85% of consumers indicating that.
However, for only the third time in the past 12 months, a rise in gas prices did not lead to a rise in pessimism, or vice versa. The increase in optimism occurred in a month of rising gas prices in which gas prices increased by roughly a nickel a gallon.
Instead, consumers are feeling very optimistic about gas prices in the near future. More than half (53%) of consumers say that gas prices will be the same or lower in the next 30 days, with a record-low 7% saying that prices will be much higher.
Also reflective of the current consumer optimism, drivers say prices would have to increase significantly before they would consider reducing the amount that they drive. On average, gas purchasers say prices would have to reach $4.04 a gallon before they would cut back driving— a 71 cent price increase beyond the current national average. This price differential is the second-largest since NACS began measuring this statistic in May 2013.
"Future prospects are outweighing current conditions in defining consumer sentiment," said NACS Vice President of Government Relations John Eichberger. "While it remains to be seen if conditions do in fact improve, consumer optimism is great news for consumers, retailers and the economy as the new year begins."
Every month, the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) conducts a nationwide survey in partnership with Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates LLC to measure consumer perceptions about gas prices and how they relate to broader economic conditions. For the January survey, 1,112 gas consumers were surveyed from January 7-9, 2014. The margin of error for the entire sample is +/-2.94 at the 95% confidence interval and higher for subgroups. The OPIS weekly national average price for gas was $3.322 on January 6, the week in which the survey was fielded. Summary results from this and previous surveys can be found at www.nacsonline.com/gasprices.
Founded in 1961 as the National Association of Convenience Stores, NACS (nacsonline.com) is the international association for convenience and fuel retailing. The U.S. convenience store industry, with more than 149,000 stores across the country, posted $700 billion in total sales in 2012, of which $501 billion were motor fuels sales. NACS has 2,100 retail and 1,600 supplier member companies, which do business in nearly 50 countries.

Although having young children get sick is a normal part of parental stress, what you are about to hear in the video below, is just horrifying! Having your child become ill, for no apparent reason, and to have symptoms get worse over time instead of better, is any parent's nightmare.
Penny Powell recently shared photos on Facebook, after a good friend of hers found out why her son had been chronically ill. The boy's father, Simon, had a suspicion as to why their young son wasn't getting better, and he turned out to be right. The boy's 'sippy cup' had a leak-proof spout, and when the Simon inspected it, he noticed an awful odor coming from it.
His son had been drinking from a mold infested cup! Needless to stay he was outraged, disgusted and frightened for his son's well-being. He took pictures and when Penny posted them on Facebook, other parents began sharing the same thing. They had all been using Tommy Tippee Cups.
The company's response to this finding was quite lame, as you will hear in the video; it should be said that there are several other manufacturers that have a similar design in which the sealed spout is a breeding ground for mold. As mold can cause sinus infections, throat irritation, asthmatic symptoms, and chronic eye and skin irritation, it is strongly recommended that any such cup be discarded.

I've written often of Halloweens of my youth, of how important they were in the development of the boy who would one day be "the Unimonster." I've even written of that last Halloween of my childhood, the point at which I realized I was too old to go trick-or-treating any longer. I thought at the time that my Halloween celebrations were in the past, buried in the same heap as outgrown clothes, broken toys, and forgotten books. Life has a way of carrying us forward, and the normal passage of time soon had my thoughts turning in other directions. Everyday concerns and worries—college, work, dating, trying to figure out how Bruce Willis' career survived HUDSON HAWK—all pushed thoughts of Halloween into the deep recesses of my mind. By the early 1990s, I was married, to a lovely redhead without the slightest interest in monsters or Horror movies, and I settled down to a life of grown-up domesticity. Or so I thought.
Unfortunately, a fondness for the ghosts, ghouls, and creatures of the Horror genre wasn't the only difference that my wife and I had, and those differences eventually led to our separation and divorce. That separation occurred in October of 1998, with the divorce being finalized twelve months later. Frankly, Halloween was the furthest thing from my mind at those times, but if anyone had asked me if I'd ever look forward to the October season again, I would have replied, quite honestly, that I never again wanted to think of October. And that was my frame of mind for some time after my divorce.
However, as trite and clichéd as the aphorism may be, time really does heal all wounds. A year after my divorce, I was casting about for something to take my mind off my pain and troubles. I had become far too friendly with a pair of Southern gentlemen named Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, and I knew I needed something other than alcohol to occupy my mind. Psychologists might have much to say regarding my reaching back into my childhood to find a refuge from my pain; if so, then … so be it. All I know is that I turned to the monster movies that I had loved as a child, and rediscovered that love as a thirty-six year-old man. I've written of how I began collecting Horror movies, taping every one that came on television, buying others as I could afford it. I've also shared with you how that simple hobby led me to the yahoo groups full of like-minded people, and how that, in turn, led me back to my writing. That's what led to my 'rebirth' as the Unimonster, nearly a decade ago.
Something else that was reborn in me was my love of Halloween, though it had certainly never died. It had merely been sublimated by the pressures of life. But that first Halloween after my divorce, long before 'Unimonster' was even a thought in my mind, as I started building my collection of movies with five straight days of twenty-four hours worth of Horror movies—courtesy of American Movie Classics' Monsterfest—that love came crashing back to the forefront. That October of 2000, I ended the month with fifty-three movies in my collection, a pair of VCRs that were hot to the touch, and—for the first time in two years—a measure of happiness in my heart.
As the summer of 2001 began to wane, my thoughts, as they always had in childhood, turned to thoughts of the approaching Halloween season. It had been more than twenty years since I had been that excited about October, and I was looking forward to another month of scary and ghoulish fun such as I had known in that long-ago past. I wanted to decorate, I wanted to celebrate, I wanted to recapture every bit of the joy that Halloween had represented to me as a boy.
Then one bright, splendid Tuesday morning in September, everything changed as I sat at my desk at work and watched as war was declared on my country. As they had been three years before, thoughts of such trivialities as Halloween and monster movies were chased from my mind, by the actions of real-life monsters far worse than anything Hollywood ever conceived. This time the hurt, less personal but far more profound, was moderated by an intense rage at those who would, in such a cowardly manner, strike at something I love far more than myself. The stress of weeks of waiting for us to strike back left little room in my thoughts for Halloween, and when, in early October, a series of anthrax attacks targeted, among other organizations, television networks, my job as chief of security at a television station guaranteed that that stress would only increase. Halloween passed almost unnoticed amid the hectic events of the first months of war.
Another year passed, and life returned to a manner of normalcy. As August faded into September, I once again began to think of Halloween. That July, I had joined my first Yahoo Group, the now-defunct (and sorely-missed) Horrorweb group. By September, I was a fully active member; in fact, in response to the Horrorwench's September 10th question regarding plans for adding a store to the Horrorweb web-site to sell Halloween (and general horror) merchandise, I posted the following reply, "Love that Idea, Wench... I'm into ALL things Halloween! (Already started decorating my crypt!)" I was not yet the Unimonster, but the Crypt has always been the 'Crypt'!
That autumn was the best I had experienced in decades, as I luxuriated in the joys of Halloween as I remembered it. Every store I entered seemed to have Halloween as its main stock in trade; every network on cable TV seemed to have non-stop horror-thons playing nightly. To put it bluntly, I gorged on Halloween the way Augustus Gloop overindulged in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I bought decorations, and movies, and candy. I recorded every Horror Film that I could; and watched those that I already had over and over. If anything, this new form of Halloween experience was even better than my youth, for now I was completely free to give in to the holiday 'spirit', if you will. My dreams of Halloween perfection, the things I had wanted to do in childhood, but had never been able to make happen, were now possible—provided I spend the money to realize them. And while my budget wasn't as large as I wished it to be, I still came close to matching those childhood fantasies.
As that November 1st dawned, I realized that that October had been the happiest month of the past several years for me. Never again would I ignore the Halloween season, or pretend that I had long ago outgrown it. Never again would I forget the joy to be found in black cats and Jack o' Lanterns. Eleven months of the year I would be a grown-up (well, relatively speaking …) with grown-up problems and responsibilities. But October once more would be mine. October would serve to remind me that there was still a part of me untouched by heartbreak, divorce, financial worries, ulcers, hypertension, stress. October would keep me sane.
For thirty-one days every year, October would let me be a kid again.

Kasab trial adjourned; accused wants perfumes, toothpaste
A special court today adjourned ruling on the medical reports pertaining to the age of Kasab till May 2. The accused has also asked the court for certain facilities like an Urdu newspaper, perfumes and toothpaste to be provided to him in prison.india Updated: Apr 29, 2009 16:10 IST
A special court in Mumbai on Wednesday adjourned ruling on the medical reports pertaining to the age of Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab till May 2 (Saturday). The accused has also asked the court for certain facilities like an Urdu newspaper, perfumes and toothpaste to be provided to him in prison.
The trial of Kasab, the lone terrorist captured alive after the 26/11 attack on Mumbai, was adjourned till May 2 by Special Judge ML Tahilyani.
On Wednesday morning, Kasab's lawyer SG Abbas Kazmi summoned two medicos as witnesses to give their opinion in the matter of Kasab's age based on a dental examination and a bone test.
Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said that the testimony of the two medicos - S Nandankar of Sir JJ Hospital and Yogita Devkar of Nair Hospital - has proved that Kasab's age could be between 20-25 years at the time of the Mumbai terror attacks, last Nov 26.
"This proves our contention that the age (21 years) given by Kasab on three different occasions before different authorities was correct," Nikam pointed out.
In a related development, Kasab moved an application before the special court seeking certain facilities during his stay in jail.
He has asked that he be allowed to read newspapers and named Urdu Times, perfumes, toothpaste and permission to walk in the courtyard of Arthur Road Central Jail, where he is lodged.
"The jail courtyard is secured from all sides. If I continue to remain in this cell, I will lose my mental balance," he pleaded through his lawyer.
Kasab has also sought that all his personal belongings and money confiscated after his arrest, should be deposited in the jail accounts in his name.

The information in this book could probably be condensed in 10 pages. Or rather, it was probably a 10 page booklet expanded into a long and boring book.
There are a couple of interesting advices and techniques at the beginning but then there's a lot of "I was worrying and feeling bad, I saw God, I stopped worrying and started feeling better". Towards the end was so full of religious non-sense it was disgusting....Continua
Some outdated information, but VERY helpful still today.

POLITICAL COMPASS December 5, 2007Posted by wmmbb in Australian Politics, European Politics, Philosophy, US Politics.
If this result for my position on the Political Compass is correct it is no wonder my enthusiasm for the new, fresh government is muted. My position is to wait to see what happens. It is my sense that after the election, and the same was true in 1996, there is no sense of empowerment following the federal election. The reason is that electoral politics are in some part about clever manipulation, although it is interesting to read that Possum discounts the theory of "me-tooism" arguing that Labor positioned itself those things that would loss it votes and for those things that would win it votes. Despite the attempts to wedge Labor, the Liberals shot themselves in the foot with WorkChoices, the policy that alienated the Howard Battlers.
The problem the Liberal Party, or more generally the Opposition, now have is to find a leader who can position himself to represent a broad consensus. Howards failure was that he wedged his own political coalition through WorkChoices. If that observation is correct it means that ideology triumphed over political pragmatism. The longer a government is in power the more likely that ideology will triumph over pragmatism, and the corollary is the longer in opposition the more likely that pragmatism will overcome ideology.
There is a significant difference between the political systems in the Australia and the US beyond the obvious parliamentary/presidential divide arising from the opportunity for minor parties to be elected. The Australian electoral system institutionalizes the two-party system but since the 1948 changes to Senate voting gives representation to minor parties, whose pragmatic position is ideological. The American system by contrast does not give representation to minor parties and sustain ideological positions. However independents might be in obtaining seats in Congress and minor parties in mounting presidential campaigns, most notably Ross Perot and the Progress Party in 1992 they go nowhere without representation.
Pragmatism both the reflects the political system and the political culture that gave rise to the political system in the first place, and continues to sustain it. The media play a significant role. It is interesting that the seven sisters own the television stations in USA. Now, of course, the commentariat, if Possum is correct, is now attempting to frame the Rudd victory in a way that will be compatible for the enduring interests of their masters. We should not be surprised, I suppose, nor unduly condemn Labor for its successful pragmatism which is shown here on the Political Compass diagram:
I have no independent way of verifying this positioning, except to compare it to EU governments at the last election (Click on for the full image)
Labor would appear to be closer to the governments of France and Germany – the Grand Coalition – than to the Blair/Brown Labour in Britain. The Australia Government, now is closer in its political orientation to the major Europeans than it is to the Bush Administration. It can be expected that following the US Presidential Elections next year that the Americans will move into this general area, with significance for policies on Climate Change.
Michael Nagler at UC Berkeley, Emeritus Professor in Classics and Comparative Literature, interpreting Saint Augustine's, The City of God (against the Pagans) says Augustine two drives that underly culture. We are either given to self aggrandizement, or helping others. It is of interest that these are drives as distinct from needs, and perhaps the fit on the right-left continuum. Michael Nagler tells the American Indian story of the two wolves, which are identical to Augustine's two drives. Which will dominant? It depends on which you feed.
Michael Nagler also says, referring to the Gandhian struggle for Swaraj and Indian Independence that hierarchies arise spontaneously in the presence of threat or an emergency. In this view, I suppose, structural violence would not be a surprise. Thus the hypothesis that the higher on the authoritarian-libertarian continuum the greater the likelihood of violence. The purpose of explanation is to suggest theory, and predictions are a test of theory.
That said, my position on the Political Compass seems to be on a different page to that of the new government:
While I hold myself accountable for my views and opinions, which I believe is inherent in democratic citizenship that does not mean that I have necessarily carefully delineated my positions. By contrast political parties, major and minor, act in a culture, and must be pragmatic. I am at least on the same page as Gandhiji:
. . . and that is something.

Crustmas is the winter celebration of Crustianity. It is a week long holiday that begins with the Pine Sacrifice, includes days of baking Crustmas goodies and wrapping gifts, and climaxes with Presents Day on December 25th, the birthday of Jeebus Crust. A popular theme during Crustmas is to poke fun at all religious beliefs.
During Crustmas, we cut down a pine tree, buy each other gifts and make fun of other religions, especially Christianity. South Park and Family Guy are shows that our family enjoys watching on Crustmas.

The current Euro 2016 tournament has been shaping up as one of the most exciting in recent memory, not only in terms of the clash of national teams but also in terms of the performances of individual players.
Expanding the finals to include 24 teams rather than the former 16 means more matches and more opportunities for goal scoring.
So who is in the running for the golden boot at Euro 2016? There are the individual players that each team is hoping will propel them to victory, but having the player who scores the most goals over the course of the tournament does not always mean outright victory for a side.
Conversely, many incredible strikers have not been given the opportunity to score as many goals as they potentially could have, due to circumstances beyond their control.
Previous winners
In Euro 2012, six players tied for the golden boot, with a fairly unimpressive three goals each over the course of the tournament. Fernando Torres was finally given the award, a move that took bookmakers by surprise, particularly as he won out over his teammate, 2008's golden boot recipient, David Villa.
Other notable past winners have included Alan Shearer in 1996, with five goals, and an astonishing nine goals from France's Michel Platini in 1984. Even more incredible were the eleven goals that won West Germany's Gerd Muller the Golden Boot back in 1972.
Although Euro 2016 may not see any one player achieve such heights, it looks highly likely that in 2016, the standout players will beat 2012's three-goal tally, and hopefully, one of those players will come out head and shoulders above the rest.
Euro 2016's contenders
Cristiano Ronaldo is an obvious favourite to win the golden boot. The all-time Real Madrid top goal scorer and four-time domestic golden shoe winner regularly exceeds fifty goals per season, and his last one was no exception. He was among the joint winners of the golden boot in 2012, and as of 2014 was the all-time top scorer in the UEFA European Championships.
The deciding factor will be how well Portugal does overall, and how many opportunities the world's greatest footballer gets to show us just why he still deserves that accolade.
Among the other contenders, Thomas Muller for Germany has scored 32 goals in 71 internationals; that's almost a goal every two matches, a phenomenal strike rate. He's scored ten World Cup goals, and just as importantly, he has some world-class backup in the form of the most imaginative midfield line-up in the current tournament.
With Germany a strong contender to win Euro 2016 outright, their leading striker seems a safe bet for the golden boot as well.
Playing for host nation France, Antoine Griezmann is also being tipped as a possible top goal scorer in the tournament. 888sport point out that Griezmann has played sensationally for Atletico Madrid, and could be a very real contender.
His most recent season for Atletico Madrid saw Griezmann score 32 goals, and while his international record – seven goals in 26 matches – isn't anywhere near as strong, there is still plenty of scope for him to improve that average at Euro 2016.
As for the home side, Harry Kane is the local golden boy. The Spurs striker is carrying the hopes of the nation upon his youthful shoulders. His 25 goals last season won him the golden boot in the UK Premier League, but will he be able to repeat this achievement on an international level?
Finally, Poland's Robert Lewandowski is also in with a chance. Although his team are not favourites to win, their top forward is a goal-scoring machine, hitting home 42 times in 51 matches for Bayern Munich, and scoring 13 goals in the qualifiers.
Given the opportunities, Lewandowski could certainly carry the golden boot home. But if Poland are knocked out early, we'll never know just what kind of score he could achieve.
Ronaldo remains the favourite to win the golden boot, but as the tournament hots up, other contenders may emerge. It's certainly not a foregone conclusion, and there's still time for relative outsiders like Fernando Torres to hit a winning streak and claim the top spot, against all of the odds.
The 24-team format of the finals will leave much more scope for different players to rack up the goals, while some teams may be knocked out of the tournament before their top strikers have a chance to really hit their stride.
One thing is for sure; whomever the golden boot goes to, there are going to be some exciting matches ahead for the fans.

The newly-minted New York Jets quartback bears his chiseled body for the September issue of men's fashion magazine, GQ, to kick off the new NFL season.
But, sorry ladies, he's not doing a shirtless Tebow.
The piece, titled "Have You Accepted Tim Tebow as Your QB and Sunday Savior?", doesn't feature a photo of the now-infamous Tebow elbow-on-the-knee pose.
Instead, the ESPY winner — who turns 25 on Aug. 14 — is snapped shirtless, arms outstretched and legs crossed, eerily reminiscent of Jesus on the cross.
As the former Denver Bronco prepares to hit the field for the first time with the New Jersey-based team, he's praying for one thing.
"I think if they're a Jets fan, hopefully they'll be rooting for me," Tebow told GQ.
"I'll do whatever I can to help this team win football games," added the Heisman Trophy winner, who joined the Jets in March. "I'll give my heart and soul whenever I step on that field and even when I'm on the sidelines. And at the end of the day, that's really all you can ask of someone."
Tebow's GQ cover hits stands Aug. 21, just three days after Gang Green takes on the New York Giants in a pre-season game on Aug. 18. The Jets' first regular season match-up is set for Sept. 2, when they will go head-to-head with the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium.
What do you think of Tebow's cover? Sound off in comments.

Margo glared at her computer screen. "Stupid computer," she muttered to mo one in particular. She turned and looked at Myrna Mountweasel, who was fast asleep on her bed. Margo sighed. She didn't have the heart to wake her up.
Grabbing her pajamas, Margo walked to the bathroom. As she changed, Margo looked in the mirror. She looked at her hair, her face. So…average. Not beautiful. Not ugly. Although she'd rather have an ugly face instead of an average one. She hated "normality". Everyone was so bland. Boring. Normal. Paper kids. Paper people. She glanced out of her window. "Especially Quentin," she said, glad to hear her voice again. Sometimes getting caught up in her thoughts was too much to handle.
Margo made her way back to her room, passing by her little sisters door. She paused outside Ruthie's door, listening to her deep breathing. After a moment, she walked through her own doorway. Shutting the door behind her, she glanced at her computer screen. On the top of the webpage sat a very proud "Omnictionary" icon, and directly underneath say a smaller, less haughty title that read "Agloe, New York".
Margo dropped her pile of clothes and rushed to her computer. She scrolled down quickly, talking in all the words. A small smile spread across her face as she read. There was no way this wouldn't work. Just a small note, to be found after she'd left, a small reminder of the Margo that everybody knew. Again, she glanced at Myrna Mountweasel, wondering if she would ever give back her bed. No matter, she thought, turning back to her screen. She knew she would be up most of the night anyway. Taking her time, she logged on to omnictionary, and typed in her comment.
fyi, whoever Edits this--the Population of agloe Will actually be One until may 29th at Noon.

Master's programs
The Affiliated Degree Department of Mathematical Physics and Information Theory was created in collaboration with St. Petersburg's division of Steklov Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences for increasing the quality of ITMO's educational, research and innovative activities, collaborative training of specialists and conduction of collaborative research projects.
The department's work will focus on the problem of quantum communications which has become most relevant to the modern scientific community, which had to do with such recent phenomena as the crisis of information security, the limited life of data storage devices, use of compression algorithms and the development of BigData.
The Department of Mathematical Physics and Information Theory already has substantial scientific and educational groundwork in this field. Among the academic staff of the international laboratory "Modern Communication technologies and their application in economics and finance" that serves as base for the Department of Mathematical Physics and Information Theory are renowned scientists in the field of mathematical physics, quantum systems and communication technology. For instance, professors Dorje Brody and Lane Hughston from Brunel University London partake in the laboratory's work.
The Department's purpose: organizing and conducting educational, research and methodological work in several interrelated fields as part of corresponding Master's Degree programs and training academic personnel.

The Greatest Untapped Evangelistic Opportunity Before the Modern Church
by Scott Brown, March 22, 2006
I believe that we are involved in the greatest evangelistic opportunity before the church today: the salvation of millions of children under the evangelistic and discipleship ministry of fathers and mothers in the home. This is not the only mission field, to be sure, but it is perhaps the most neglected mission field before the church in our time. The Bible calls fathers to preach the gospel to their children everyday, when they "sit in their house, when they walk by the way, when they lie down and when they rise up" (Deuteronomy 6:7). A father is to pass on the knowledge of God to the next generation. He is commanded to expose his children day by day to the greatness of God, the perfections of His ways, and the great stories that explain His nature and character. This kind of instruction gives children a true understanding of the gospel.
Consider the Evangelistic Impact of Faithful Fathers
Think of the evangelistic impact that we as fathers would have in our generation if we would only heed this command. Consider the example of the faithful father: Daily, he praises God to his children with hundreds of words and practical principles. Day after day, he cries out to them, explaining the stories that glorify the kindnesses of God, His wrath toward sinners, and His vanquishing power over all things. In so doing, he reflects the heart of the Heavenly Father who cries out, "Today if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion"**(Hebrews 3:7-11).
In turn, his children observe their father as he personally delights in the Word and places himself under its wonderful teaching. They behold how good and mighty God is and how foolish it is to turn away from Him. They see how their daddy is comforted and confronted by it and is changed before their eyes.
Under this kind of loving and happy ministry, children hear the whole counsel of God from Genesis to Revelation. They see the flow of history from God's perspective. They hear of the great doctrines of the faith which have sustained humble people from one generation to the next. They observe the mighty hand of God working against all human odds. They see the beginning and the end of history and where they themselves stand in its stream. They know who wins the battle. They know that nothing can stand against the will of our Sovereign Lord.
Contrast the Results: Big-Tent Discipleship Falls Short
How different this is compared to sending your children to an evangelistic crusade or a concert in the hope that they might be saved.
The story is all too common: a young person goes to a Christian concert and walks down the aisle or makes a profession of faith absent a real conversion. They go forward because they have an emotional response or a guilty conscience or perhaps because a friend went down — but not because they really understand the gospel. This is why so few who "make decisions" at evangelistic meetings ever continue in a normal Christian life. Without the background understanding of sin and repentance or the specifics of the life they are turning toward, they are like the seeds that fell on the shallow soil that sprouted up and died away because they had no root in themselves.
Sadly, our churches are filled with young people who have "walked an aisle," but who have never really understood the full breadth of the gospel message. For them, the gospel has been trivialized and reduced to simply "accepting Christ." In contrast to this, the daily diet of a father's gospel teaching gives a detailed understanding of the gospel. It provides both the context and content that is necessary to become a true follower of Christ.
Rebellion Against God's Clear Commands to Fathers
God's requirements for child evangelism are clear: fathers are commanded to diligently teach their children and care for their souls day by day. The sad reality of father's lives in modern churches is that they are satisfied with Sunday schools and evangelistic crusades (which are never mentioned or commanded in scripture), but they reject God's direct and undeniable commands to personally teach their children daily. This is outright rebellion against the Lord.
Unfortunately, many fathers continue on in their rebellion because they feel good about their efforts, especially when they compare their parenting practices to their pastor and Christian brothers. Fathers often feel great about their involvement in their children's lives because, rather than defining faithful fathering by what scripture prescribes, they define exemplary fatherhood as going to the kid's recitals and games and getting them into a good Sunday school or youth group.
In order to rescue this lost generation of children in Christian homes from hell, we must first help fathers understand what God has commanded and exhort them to embrace their responsibilities before the Lord. We must speak clearly of what God has mandated so that fathers do not miss the opportunity to touch the hearts of their sons and daughters with the message of the gospel.
Wake Up! We ARE Losing the Next Generation
Because fathers have failed to do their duty in discipling their children, we are losing the next generation to the world. Observations from a number of studies illustrates this trend. Consider the following:
Researcher George Barna maintains that if current trends in the belief systems and practices of the younger generation continue, in ten years, church attendance will be half the size it is today.[1]
Dawson MacAlister, national youth ministry specialist, remarked that 90% of youth active in high school church programs drop out of church by the time they are sophomores on college.[2]
Data from the Southern Baptist Convention indicates that we are currently losing 70-88% of our youth after their freshman year in college. [3] In a report to the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee, T.C. Pinkney observed that 70% of teenagers involved in church youth groups stop attending church within two years of their high school graduation.[4] The Southern Baptist Council on Family Life**reported an even more staggering statistic — that 88% of the children in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18.[5]
Those Who Understand the Gospel by Age Group
While church attendance is one barometer for generational continuity for the gospel in the church, another study points to a more fundamental problem. Thom Rainer, Professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary School of Evangelism launched a survey that he hoped would tell him if people understood the gospel. In response to his survey questions, the following percentages of people answered in a way that would indicate they were born again:[6]
Born before 1946 — 65%
Born between 1946 and 1964 — 35%
Born between 1965 and 1976 — 15%
Born between 1976 and 1994 — 4%
Consider the Enormous Leverage of Fathers for Evangelism
Of all the studies recently published, the most telling related to the fathers role in discipleship is this: according to a report published by The Baptist Press [7] if a child is the first person in the household to become a Christian, there is a 3.5% probability everyone in the household will follow. If the mother is first, there is a 17% chance everyone else in the household will submit to Christ. Here's the clincher: If the father professes Christ first, there is a 93% probability that everyone else in the house will heed the Gospel call.
Pray for an Uprising of Men
God's Word declares and studies affirm what this generation needs — an uprising of men committed to discipling their children.
While the church in the twenty-first century is losing the next generation of children to worldliness, we at the NCFIC are encouraging fathers to return to the biblical role as the head of the household and to preach the gospel and make disciples of their children. We are also encouraging church leaders to have the courage to cancel the programs which steal the father's creation-order role and put their energy into fulfilling the clear commands of God.
The great Messianic prophesy of Psalm 22 shows how God brings the glory of salvation from one generation to the next through those who take seriously the charge to teach their children:
A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, they will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, that He has done this. (Psalm 22:30-31)
Please pray that we as fathers would not miss the greatest untapped evangelistic opportunity before the church today. Let it be said of this generation of fathers that we did our part to fulfill the Great Commission.
May we preach the fullness of the gospel to our households and give our children a thousand reasons to believe.

Pledging to put self-interests aside, representatives of Seminole County governments have agreed to come to terms on the distribution of gas tax revenues for next year after deadlocking on this year's formula.
The Seminole County Council of Local Government's named a committee Wednesday to iron out differences that stymied a gas tax distribution plan earlier this month. Because the county's seven cities failed to reach a consensus, the formulas for doling out the original 4-cent and the proposed 2- cent taxes will be frozen for at least a year.

Located 32 miles southwest of Seattle, Tacoma is a large city that has something to offer all kinds of travelers. Tacoma was historically a railroad town and served as the Puget Sound terminal on the Northern Pacific Railway. It experienced rapid population growth at the end of the 19th century. Today, this port city is a hotspot for breweries, hiking, and art.
Tacoma is home to the world's largest wood-domed arena! The Tacoma Dome hosts many events, such as concerts, sporting events, and conventions.
For a great way to spend an afternoon with family members of all ages, take a trip to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. While the zoo and aquarium are enough to keep you busy for an afternoon, their proximity to the park, Seymour Botanical Conservatory, and gardens make it an ideal place to visit.
Take a trip into downtown's museum district for access to world-renowned art collections. Six major museums line the streets here, offering art for every taste. You can choose to visit just one, or purchase a museum pass for a flat rate to see all of them. The pass is good for seven days, so you don't have to worry about rushing through each one! If you happen to be in town on the third Thursday of the month, be sure to participate in the art walk, which allows visitors to go to some museums for free.
Union Station, decorated with Chihuly glass art, will remind travelers of Tacoma's golden age of rail. This historic building now functions as a courthouse, but visitors are welcome and admission is free.
30 minutes north of Tacoma, Seattle offers countless opportunities for eating, shopping, and sightseeing. To get away from tourists, try venturing out into some of the quirky neighborhoods that make up the city. Visit Ballard for vibrant nightlife, find unique shopping opportunities in West Seattle, and head over to Queen Anne for parks that offer beautiful views of the city skyline. There are also many museums, such as the Museum of Flight and the Chihuly Garden and Glass, which are wonderful locations that artists and families alike will enjoy.
Trade the noise and speed of city life for a slower pace on Vashon Island. It can only be reached by ferry, so plan to depart from the Point Defiance terminal towards Tahlequah. Only a 20-minute boat ride away, Vashon Island provides many opportunities for beach exploring, eccentric restaurants, and fun festivals. Visit in July to be a part of a century-long tradition—the Vashon Island Strawberry Festival!
Mount Rainier, for which the city of Tacoma was named, is the main attraction of Mount Rainier National Park only an hour and a half away. You don't have to summit the 14,410-foot volcano to enjoy beautiful hikes and abundant nature. In the summer, this national park is renowned for its wildflowers. Overnight travelers can try tent camping, though reservations are suggested during warmer months, they can also choose to stay in one of the hotels there.
Search for the perfect vacation rental for your Tacoma vacation on Tripping.com. There are nearly 300 properties available, many of which are on the waterfront. Tacoma has retained much of its old charm, and some rentals are craftsman-style homes, which reflect the city's rich history.

Pediatric Otolaryngology at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) is at the forefront of treating infants and children with ear, nose and throat conditions. Our expert physicians care for a wide range of disorders following the latest accepted guidelines and utilizing the most advanced technologies available.
Our patients present with ailments that range from common infections of the ears, nose and throat to rare and complicated congenital conditions of the head, neck and airways. Every patient and family receives a thorough evaluation and medical and surgical options are discussed. A treatment plan is recommended following evidence-based medical information while keeping the family engaged in the decision making process. At the core of every recommendation is a family-centered philosophy with the conviction that physicians and families are partners in making the correct decision to meet each child's needs.
The care of children with disorders of the ears, nose and throat has been a priority NYEE since it opened its doors in 1820. A high level of specialty care is coordinated by Dr. Joseph M. Bernstein, the Director of the Pediatric Otolaryngology Division. Multidisciplinary care is provided through a team approach with pediatric experts from a broad spectrum of disciplines, including: Anesthesia, Audiology, Intensive Care, Neonatology, Otology, Plastic surgery, Radiology, Sleep medicine, Speech and language Pathology, and others.
Commonly Performed Operations
Ear Tube Surgery - Ear infections, also known as otitis media, are very common among children. Ear infections can be caused by bacteria or viruses. If an ear infection lasts for a prolonged period of time or if your child has multiple complicated ear infections in a short period of time, ear tube surgery may be appropriate. Ear tubes, also known as tympanostomy tubes, are small tubes that allow more normal movement of air behind the eardrum and may reduce the number of future ear infections. Ear tube surgery may also be performed when your child has a buildup of fluid behind the eardrum. This fluid is often associated with hearing loss and may lead to speech and language delays. The insertion of ear tubes allows for the resolution of the middle ear fluid with an improvement in hearing and can prevent future buildup of pressure and fluid.
Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy - Tonsils and adenoids, located in the back of your throat, help protect your body from infections by trapping germs that enter through your mouth and nose. Often your tonsils and adenoids themselves become infected. Frequent severe infections in the tonsils and adenoids may suggest a need for a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy, surgeries in which your child's tonsils and/or adenoids are removed to reduce further infection. A tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy may also be performed if your child's tonsils and adenoids become enlarged and affect their breathing during sleep. Often the enlargement of the tonsils and adenoids causes snoring and brief stops in the pattern of breathing while sleeping, called apneas. Removal of the tonsils and adenoids in such cases can allow your child a better night sleep.
Pediatric Sinus Surgery - Sinuses are air filled cavities located in the bones of the face. The sinuses can become infected or inflamed, a condition known as sinusitis. These infections are caused by a blockage of the natural drainage openings of the sinuses. Such blockages can occur when your child has a cold, flu, allergies or bacterial infection. If your child has recurrent sinus infections over a short period of time, has had a complicated sinus infection or has chronic sinusitis that does not resolve with medical therapy, sinus surgery may be discussed as an option to reduce further infection.
Pediatric Sleep Apnea Surgery - Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that occurs when your child's breathing becomes partially or completely blocked repeatedly during sleep. Sleep apnea is caused by blockage of the upper airway during sleep. Common symptoms of sleep apnea are loud snoring as well as frequent awakenings from sleep. Prolonged symptoms may be associated with behavior changes and cognitive deficits. Blockage of the upper airway that causes sleep apnea in children is most often the result of enlarged tonsils and adenoids. However, other areas of your child's anatomy may also cause the obstruction. A careful evaluation is required in order to arrive at the appropriate medical or surgical intervention.
Pediatric Neck Mass Surgery - A congenital neck mass is a growth in the neck that is present at birth and may become more noticeable as the child gets older. These masses are usually benign in children though it is important that they be evaluated. Neck masses arising later in childhood can have variable presentations and locations in the neck and their underlying cause needs to be determined. A thorough consultation is required in order to determine the appropriate medical or surgical intervention in each case.
Ankyloglossia (Tongue Tie) - Tongue tie is a condition of the mouth that decreases the mobility of the tongue. The tongue is anchored to the floor of the mouth by a band of tissue called the frenulum. When this band of tissue is too short or tight, the tongue is not able to move properly. This can result in feeding problems shortly after birth and in speech problems at an early age. When necessary, a procedure cmay be performed, called frenuloplasty, in which the frenulum is released in order to allow for improved movement of the tongue.

About Jason Grant
Every video game site needs that one "quirky" reviewer, right? You know, the one who somehow finds fun in games the consensus loathes, or vice versa. After a decade of trying NOT to be That Guy, here I am, tired of fighting it. Wherever there's a game that contains speed or an old-school arcade-style bent, chances are I'll be there, regardless of platform (I still have a Saturn and Dreamcast hooked up to the big screen)! A review from me is usually an over-obsessive analysis of gameplay mechanics.

Let me explain the picture first. When I googled "dick thieves" this came up. Now on to our story!
13 people have been arrested in the Congo for stealing dick! 13 suspected sorcerers have been accused of using black magic to steal or shrink the dicks of several men. Police had to step in, because angry mobs were threatening to lynch suspects.
Last week in the capital city of Kinshasa, rumor spread that sorcerers were going around shrinking cock. Even radio stations warned people to beware of people in communal taxis with gold rings. Beware of the dick shrinkers! Over here we call dick shrinkers, Paris Hilton.
The 14 victims claims the sorcerers simply touched them to make their dicks shrink or disappear. They suspect they did this to extort cash from them for a cure.
The police chief said he thinks it's one big joke, but "when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them, 'How do you know if you haven't gone home and tried it'." That police chief is a hot slut.
Have these dick sorcerers been visiting my cruise bar of choice, because my one-nighters have been coming up "short" lately.
Here's a few pics from last night of two penises I'd like to see disappear.
