In condemning the removal of Honduran President Mel Zelayaya by the Honduran military, Pesident Obama stands shoulder to shoulder with the Fidel Castro and his thug epigones Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega. Zelaya sought to conduct an illegal referendum to extend his rule. The Honduran military has sought to enforce the rule of law by providing for Zelaya's departure from the scene. Mary Anastasia Grady explains:
Yesterday the Central American country was being pressured to restore the authoritarian Mr. Zelaya by the likes of Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, Hillary Clinton and, of course, Hugo himself. The Organization of American States, having ignored Mr. Zelaya's abuses, also wants him back in power. It will be a miracle if Honduran patriots can hold their ground.
That Mr. Zelaya acted as if he were above the law, there is no doubt. While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president. A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress.
But Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chávez ship him the necessary ballots from Venezuela. The Supreme Court ruled his referendum unconstitutional, and it instructed the military not to carry out the logistics of the vote as it normally would do.
The top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, told the president that he would have to comply. Mr. Zelaya promptly fired him. The Supreme Court ordered him reinstated. Mr. Zelaya refused.
Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court's order.
The attorney general had already made clear that the referendum was illegal, and he further announced that he would prosecute anyone involved in carrying it out. Yesterday, Mr. Zelaya was arrested by the military and is now in exile in Costa Rica.
It remains to be seen what Mr. Zelaya's next move will be. It's not surprising that chavistas throughout the region are claiming that he was victim of a military coup. They want to hide the fact that the military was acting on a court order to defend the rule of law and the constitution, and that the Congress asserted itself for that purpose, too.
Mrs. Clinton has piled on as well. Yesterday she accused Honduras of violating "the precepts of the Interamerican Democratic Charter" and said it "should be condemned by all." Fidel Castro did just that. Mr. Chávez pledged to overthrow the new government.
Honduras is fighting back by strictly following the constitution. The Honduran Congress met in emergency session yesterday and designated its president as the interim executive as stipulated in Honduran law. It also said that presidential elections set for November will go forward. The Supreme Court later said that the military acted on its orders. It also said that when Mr. Zelaya realized that he was going to be prosecuted for his illegal behavior, he agreed to an offer to resign in exchange for safe passage out of the country. Mr. Zelaya denies it.
Many Hondurans are going to be celebrating Mr. Zelaya's foreign excursion. Street protests against his heavy-handed tactics had already begun last week. On Friday a large number of military reservists took their turn. "We won't go backwards," one sign said. "We want to live in peace, freedom and development."
Besides opposition from the Congress, the Supreme Court, the electoral tribunal and the attorney general, the president had also become persona non grata with the Catholic Church and numerous evangelical church leaders. On Thursday evening his own party in Congress sponsored a resolution to investigate whether he is mentally unfit to remain in office.
By contrast with his dithering on Iran, President Obama has immediately sorted out the rights and wrongs of the situation. Unfortunately, he sorted them out and cast his lot with Zelaya. Obama is "deeply concerned" about the ouster of a tyrannical president exceeding the bounds of his lawful authority:
"I am deeply concerned by reports coming out of Honduras regarding the detention and expulsion of President Mel Zelaya. As the Organization of American States did on Friday, I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Any existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference."
Here, however, the military has sought to preserve the rule of law against the president's lawless efforts to extend his rule. Why is Obama standing with Castro, Chavez and Ortega to support Zelaya? The company he's keeping should give Obama a clue, but one begins to wonder if he likes it.
UPDATE: Reader Tony Rodolakis, who wrote us about this story yesterday, writes again today to make an important point: "The military's decision to install Roberto Micheletti, leader of the Congress and constitutional successor to the president, as temporary president gives further evidence of its intent to support to defend the rule of law and the constitution, not simpy make a grab for power."

Who: Sarah Roehl, Major: Nursing, Hometown: St. Cloud, Minn.
What do you recall from being a new student on campus?
"I remember being very excited to be a freshman. Living on campus is definitely a recommendation I would make because it allows you to meet many more people. Most of the friends I have today are people I lived by my freshman year in Weible Hall. It also makes going to class a lot more convenient because you live right next to your classes."
Favorite experiences:
"Homecoming week is usually my favorite time of the year because there are a lot of fun activities throughout the week. The parade and football game on Saturday are always a highlight of the year. I also enjoy spring at NDSU, it is great to see everyone come out of hibernation and enjoy time outside."
Future plans:
Working at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., as a registered nurse. She plans to return to school in a few years for an advanced practice degree in nursing.
Student Nurses Association and the College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences Ambassadors.
"Find a balance. That may be one of your biggest challenges; however, it is absolutely essential. While it is important to dedicate most of your time to your education in college, it is also important to do the things you like. Make sure you find time to do fun things with friends, make trips home to see your family, exercise and chill out to watch TV."

Typically, the term "speedrun" is applied to fanatical gamers trying their damnedest to make it through a video game in the shortest time possible (I'm lookin' at you, guy who beat Super Mario Bros. in 4 minutes, 58 seconds), but thanks to the evil animation geniuses at 1A4STUDIO, the term can now be applied to filmic works like Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. From the humble beginnings at Uncle Owen's moisture farm to the thrilling conclusion at the thermal exhaust port, this animated adaptation speeds us through the 125 minute film at a blistering 1 minute, 1 second. Not even Anakin in a souped-up podracer could beat that time. And, I've got to say that even at sixty seconds, it's still a damn good film.
What other films would you like to see get the speedrun treatment? My vote is for Tree of Life. Let us know in the comments below!

Every year I become enchanted with all the beautiful – and often complex – advent calendars out on the net. In fact, I become rather obsessed. The closer christmas comes, the more disappointed I become with myself for not pulling it off. Logically, I know that's silly. One simply CANNOT do everything. But this year I found myself once again dreaming of little envelopes or bags filled with activities and the occasional sweet. I figured I'm no longer employed outside the home, so why can't I pull this off? And then boom! December was upon us and I decided to have a good old fashion sit down with myself on what is important and what I have time to do while still enjoying the season. Enjoyment being key as all the hard work in the world isn't worth it if you're not enjoying yourself. So I came to terms with an advent calendar not being in our cards this year.
That very same day, Seth came home with a strong desire to make an advent calendar. Did he sense I had just tossed that possibility out the window? All I can tell you is that he was NOT going to take no for an answer. He started digging through the recycling bin and the basement, emphatically saying no to any of my suggestions that involved leaving the house to buy supplies, and he came up with a plan. His own plan. The best kind.
He found the base materials:
- a flattened cardboard box
- green construction paper
- a flattened paperboard box (from a large box of crackers)
- a box cutter (actually he asked for this one)
- a self healing cut mat (I kid you not – his idea)
I filled in the gaps:
- white duct tape
- markers and colored pencils
- a bone folder
- We cut the cardboard and paper board to the same rectangular size, roughly 11X24″
- Then we covered the cardboard with a few pieces of construction paper
- These 3 pieces would form our layers but before attaching them we had a little work to do. Although Seth didn't think it necessary I wanted a little picture on the front. You know, something to gussy it up. I was thinking along the lines that Seth or myself could draw. A snowman or a christmas tree perhaps. But Seth, with his infinite wisdom, chose a cabin. After sketching out a few ideas on scratch paper I looked up at him and said "maybe we should wait until your dad gets home". To which he replied "because he designs houses at work". "Yeah." "Good idea." And so we did.
And boy am I glad we did.
- Next I used a stencil to trace out 24 uniform window openings and cut out the 3 sides with a box cutter. I also scored the 4th side of the window using a bone folder to make the window open more easily.
- Steve numbered the boxes and filled in the image with snow and sky coloring
- Despite my worry that duct tape was no longer classy enough for this masterpiece I went ahead and used it to edge the piece and hold the top paperboard layer to the paper covered cardboard.
I'm adding messages only a day or two prior to the window being opened to prevent peaking as well as to give me the flexibility I need around the holidays. I've got a whole list to draw from so that if I don't feel like making cookies with the kids the next day I can replace it with something like give someone a compliment instead. Gently as I can, I pull back the window being careful not to truly crease the board. Then I write a little suggested activity for the day. Here's a sampling of my list:
- Make paper snowflakes
- Sing a christmas carol
- Buy a christmas tree
- Decorate the tree
- Have a snowball fight
- Go sledding
- Give someone a hug
- Make orange pomanders
- Go for a drive in our pjs to see christmas lights
- Watch Rudolf
- Make someone smile today
- Dance to christmas music
- Drink hot cocoa
Granted, you can see the Cheese It box front when you open the windows. If we do it again maybe I'd glue down a backing paper or paint it. But really, it doesn't hurt the overall effect and the kids don't seem to notice once bit. The best part of this project? That it was a collaborative effort. In my opinion, the best holiday projects, are ones you do with someone else. The fact that it was based off my son's idea and initiative only makes it that much better, giving him confidence and pride in the outcome.

AN elderly woman was left waiting for an ambulance after suffering a suspected stroke, despite health advice urging swift action.
The East of England Ambulance Service apologised on Thursday for the delay in dispatching an ambulance to help June Hicks, 73, after she collapsed at a bus stop in Leigh, the same day, explaining it was unsure of the reason for her fall.
June was on her way to look at prom dresses with her daughter and grand-daughter when she collapsed at a bus stop in Thames Drive, near London Road, Leigh, just after 1.15pm.
Shop workers and residents rushed to try to help and called an ambulance.
Her daughter Tracey Hicks, 49, said: "She said she didn't feel well, so I told her to get in the car and the next minute she fell.
"We thought she was dead, she wouldn't answer me and her eyes were all glazed.
"She was unconscious for a couple of minutes.
"An off-duty nurse came to help her and she thinks she had a minor stroke.
"We were panicking and my daughter was on the phone to the ambulance and we didn't know what was going on."
Tracey, from Romford, had to wait for a clinician to call her back to discuss what was wrong with her mother, before they would consider sending an ambulance.
They then sent an ambulance officer, in a first responder car, before the ambulance finally reached her at 2.02pm.
Passerby John Taylor, 58, of The Chase, Benfleet, said shopkeepers and residents called the ambulance at least ten times to see where it was.
Mr Taylor said: "Everyone was in distress. We must have called the ambulance ten times. I think it's disgusting to leave a woman in her 70s like that. The bottom line is, she needed an ambulance."
A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Trust said: "We would like to apologise for the time it took to get an ambulance to the patient. We understand we need to reduce the time patients have to wait for an ambulance.
"We were called at 1.24pm to t h e patient who had c o l - lapsed in London Road, in Leigh. Based on what we were told, the call was passed to the clinical support desk to gain more information and after speaking with the patient's daughter a few minutes later, it was decided a face-to-face response was required within eight minutes.
"Two minutes later a paramedic was on scene to assess the patient and an ambulance then arrived at 2.02pm and took the woman to Southend Hospital."

BERLIN (AP) — Germany will achieve a balanced budget across all layers of government this year thanks to a resilient economy, low unemployment, higher tax revenues and low borrowing costs, the Finance Ministry said Monday.
New borrowing is forecast to fall from just under 1 percent of economic output in 2011 to zero percent this year when using the European Union's official debt criteria, it said.
Still, Germany's federal, state and local governments are set to take on combined new debt of €26.5 billion ($34.4 billion) this year, slightly up over last year's €26 billion.
But under the EU's so-called Maastricht accounting rules, that new borrowing is offset by surpluses in Germany's social security system worth an estimated €16 billion, and capital payments to European financial institutions worth €10 billion.
For 2013 and 2014, the government even expects a slight budget surplus of 0.5 percent across all layers of government.
Germany, Europe's biggest economy, expects total debt this year to be 81.5 percent of its GDP of about €2.6 trillion. That debt level is forecast to shrink continuously to 73 percent by 2016 as the country aims to cut new borrowing.
Germany saw robust economic growth in 2010 and 2011. This and next year the economy is expected to grow by a meager 1 percent as Europe's ongoing debt crisis weighs down on the region's demand for German exports. Still, Germany has seen its revenues rise and spending fall as a drop in the unemployment rate to near record lows has led to lower costs for the social security system.
Germany has also benefited from significantly lower-than-expected borrowing costs as investors, who consider the country's debt to be a safe haven amid Europe's debt crisis, snap up its treasury bonds. Some investors often even accept to lose money, after taking inflation into account, by investing in German government debt.

In part one, Bright heavily criticised the Win32 API, saying it was filled with legacy stuff and hindered by 15 year old design decisions. In part two he explains that as an answer to the complaints, Microsoft introduced the .Net framework, which was supposed to replace the Win32 API as the API of choice for Windows; in fact, the next release of Windows, Longhorn, would make heavy use of .Net. "It could have provided salvation," Bright writes.
But it didn't. According to Bright, .Net was fine technically, with a "sound" virtual machine, "reasonable" performance, and an "adequate" language (C#), but the library - "used for such diverse tasks as writing files, reading data from databases, sending information over a network, parsing XML, or creating a GUI" - the library is "extremely bad". Bright explains that this is due to the target audience of .Net.
.Net had to roughly appeal to three groups of developers:
At the next level, you have the journeyman developers. Now these people aren't "business" people - they are proper programmers. But it's just a job, and they'll tend to stick with what they know rather than try to do something better. They might be a bit more discerning about their tools than the business types, but they're not going to go out of their way to pick up new skills and learn new things.
At the final level, you have the conscientious developers. These are people who care about what they're doing. They might be writing business apps somewhere (although they probably hate it, unless they are on a team of like-minded individuals) but, probably more likely, they're writing programs in their own time. They want to learn about what's cool and new; they want to do the right thing on their platforms; they want to learn new techniques and better solutions to existing problems. They might be using unusual development platforms, or they might be using C++, but they'll be writing good code that's appropriate to their tools. They'll heed UI guidelines (and only break them when appropriate); they'll use new features that the platform has to offer; they'll push things to the limit. In a good way, of course.
Because .Net had to appeal to all of these groups all at once, .Net had to make various concessions. Before .Net, this was not a problem; the first group had Access and Excel macros, the second group used VB6, and the final group used C++ or whatever other was the cat's miauw at that point. Win32 catered to this because it was designed for C. C is relatively simple and ubiquitous; "As a consequence of this, pretty much every other programming language created in the last couple of decades can, one way or another, call C APIs."
Bright explains that .Net doesn't really do that. .Net can of course still use different languages, but in the end, they all use .Net's APIs for things like drawing windows on screen, or saving files, or querying databases, or whatever. .Net is trying to be a one-size-fits-all solution, which made it "good enough" for group one and two programmers - but not for the final group.
And this is the main problem with .Net, he states. It's too "dumbed down", making it frustrating to use for the type 3 programmers. Win32 shines through everywhere in .Net, making what should be a brand new API into something resembling Win32 much more than a new platform should. Bright gives an example about Windows Forms, how it depends heavily on Win32.
Bright then moves on to Win64, the next big opportunity for Microsoft to clean up the Win32 API. And again - it didn't. He gives a few examples, such as OpenFile, a Win16 function to open a file (you didn't see that coming did you?). It was deprecated in Win32, and replaced by CreateFile, so you'd think they would have removed it from Win64. Except - they didn't. It's still there, even though no one is supposed to use it.
There are other problems too, such as the name of the system folder. It was called system in 16bit Windows, system32 in 32bit Windows, and, well, system32 in 64bit Windows, because many programmers had hard-coded the system32 directory instead of using the specific API call to determine the correct system directory. Oh, and on 64bit Windows, 32bit files go into a directory named syswow64.
And then Microsoft showed us Longhorn. It was built using .Net, had a consistent look-and-feel, and we've all seen the demos of what Longhorn could look like according to Microsoft - it looked stunning. But it got cancelled. "What we got was Windows Vista," Bright grumbles.
Bright gives a whole list of inconsistencies in Windows Vista and Office 2008, some of which nearly made me cry and curl up in foetal position - I never knew how deep the crisis actually went. Did you know there are now three completely different ribbons? One from Office (not usable for other programmers), another one written in C++ (not for .Net), and a new one for Windows Seven (not for .Net either). Right.
Stay tuned for part three.

'Fiscal Cliff' Debate Hits Airwaves
Varied Interest Groups Launch Campaigns to Sway Key Members of Congress
The election ad wars are over. The "fiscal cliff" ad wars are just beginning.
Interest groups of all types are launching campaigns to stir up Americans about the fiscal cliff, the $500 billion combination of tax increases and spending cuts set to start in January. Their target: members of Congress under pressure to make a deal with the White House in coming weeks to solve the problem.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Two University of South Carolina players have been honored by the Southeastern Conference for their performances in a 35-7 win over Georgia Saturday night.
Ace Sanders takes home the title of Co-Special Team Player Of The Week after a dazzling 70-yard punt return for a touchdown in the first quarter that put the Gamecocks up 21-0.
It was the 5'9" 175 pounder's second career punt return for a touchdown.
Offensive Lineman Of The Week was T. J. Johnson. The 6' 6" 319 pound center graded out at 86 percent against Georgia with seven knockdowns and no quarterback pressures.
The Gamecocks amassed 230 yards rushing and 162 yards passing against the Bulldogs.
South Carolina had just four loss yardage plays (-13 yards) on 61 snaps against Georgia including one sack (-9 yards).
The Gamecocks travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU Saturday night at 8 p.m. The game is on ESPN.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Artists often put oil to canvas at this time of year to render the official portrait of a governor or legislative leader who's coming or going from office.
Oil paintings of American politicians go back to George Washington. It's a tradition that's been made largely immune to budget pressures thanks to private funding.
But the practice isn't without its challenges. The commissioning and placement of the portraits — most consistently governors, but also legislators, justices and other statewide officials — can raise quirky questions.
What of the Ohio governor whose portrait probably took longer to paint than her 11-day tenure in office? Or the image of an Oregon governor whose past misdeeds were later revealed?
In Ohio, governors, lieutenant governors and presidents of the Ohio Senate all receive portraits. That includes the state's only female governor, Nancy Hollister, who served less than two weeks after moving into the job George Voinovich vacated to head to the U.S. Senate before a permanent successor was sworn in.
Gregg Dodd, a spokesman for the Ohio Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board that oversees Statehouse operations, said it's not a glut of historic paintings that's prompted a stash of out-of-sight works to pile up.
"They're awaiting restoration," he said. "Unfortunately, budget considerations caused those projects to be put on the back burner."
In Alabama, some fill-in governors are painted, some aren't. Gov. Jim Folsom, who completed the final two years of Gov. Guy Hunt's term, got a portrait. Lt. Gov. Jere Beasley, who filled in as governor for less than two weeks when Gov. George C. Wallace was recovering from an assassination attempt in 1972, did not.
Statehouses generally attempt to place official portraits in positions of prominence — with more recent figures closer to the front entrance. That is, until something goes awry.
Oregon relegated its portrait of former Gov. Neil Goldschmidt to a storage area at the Oregon Historical Society after he acknowledged having a long sexual relationship with a girl that began when she was 14 and he was mayor of Portland.
After Spiro Agnew pleaded no contest in a corruption case and was forced to step down as Richard Nixon's vice president, his portrait disappeared for a while from the halls of the Statehouse in Maryland, where's he'd served as governor. The painting's since been rehung.
Many states — Alabama, Mississippi, Oregon and Nevada among them — pay for official portraits with tax dollars. The practice allows them to set some parameters on the end product, such as a uniformity of style and size.
Elsewhere, the cost of roughly $17,000 to $50,000 is covered by private donors. While it may avoid cries of wasted taxpayer dollars, the alternative fundraising isn't without its potholes.
Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, an ex-governor of Arkansas, was scolded by the state ethics commission in 2008 for failing to disclose donors to a private fund he had set up to fund his portrait. He eventually was forced to reveal the names.
The fuss has prompted the rare official to decline the honor. Former Mississippi Gov. Bill Allain did just that after serving from 1984 to 1988.
Californians still await a portrait of former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose second term ended with the disintegration of his marriage to Maria Shriver after revelations of an extramarital affair and out-of-wedlock child. The actor-bodybuilder is footing the bill himself.

Sorry to make things complicated, but would it not satisfy everybody needs if you could bind to an ip address, which could be any one you specify? For example, I would prefer mine to be bind to my eth0's ip for internal lan clients to connect, but not accessible via ppp0 for example.

Until the advent of digital photographs, each print of a photo was in a real sense "an original." The detail and quality of the photo were established at the time the camera clicked and recorded the information. But almost as soon as people began making photographs, they also began using a variety of techniques to manipulate and change the images either during the development stage or after by compositing two or more photographs into one. Recognizing this ability to make post-production changes to existing photographs, if a photo was to be used as evidence, the law usually required testimony from the original photographer, who was expected to testify as to the provenance of the photo. Provenance is defined as the history of ownership and is usually expanded to include any changes to an item of historical value.
A commentator to one of my posts about photography recently raised the question of how his "pedigree was going to be affected if a photo was cropped or edited?" The question itself shows a lack of appreciation for the need to preserve the original photograph, but the question does need a response.
Once again, I will start with a hypothetical situation. What if your ancestor's family included six children? However, for whatever reason, the sixth child was not recorded in the family record because she died as an infant. However, there was a photograph made of the family shortly after the baby was born, showing the mother holding the infant. Let's further assume, because of the feelings of other family members or merely through carelessness, the mother, who was standing at the edge of the group being photographed, was cropped out of subsequent prints of the photo. After years of research, a genealogist finds a copy of the original photo showing the infant. Because of this new information, the sixth child is finally added to the family.
This example is not far fetched. Photographs can be valuable for establishing the age and identity of ancestors. But going back to my first example of using a photograph in court to prove a legal case, the photograph only becomes "evidence" if the provenance can be established and any changes to the photograph explained. Especially, with today's digital technology, photographs are not assumed to be evidence at all unless there is accompanying testimony as to the provenance and the relevance of the photo. Even if the photograph is being used only for demonstrative purposes, the witness must testify that the photograph fairly and accurately depicts the scene about which he or she is testifying.
The problem with the use of photos by genealogists is that there exist no "rules" such as the legal evidentiary rules, that govern the use of photographs even though adding a photo is automatically assumed to be helpful and sometimes necessary to "prove" a fact or relationship. In most genealogical treatises, photographs are added without any reference at all to the details of how or where or when the photo might have been taken. Obviously edited photos are included without any explanation as to what information has been removed. Not infrequently, people in the photos are mis-identified, leading to all sorts of unjustified conclusions. In short, photos are not usually subjected to the same standard as would be applied to an assertion of fact such as a marriage date or death date. Photos become genealogical evidence only to the extent that they are subject to the same Genealogical Proof Standard as any other fact or event asserted as evidence with a complete and accurate citation of source.
A photograph, at the moment it is taken, contains all the information is will ever have. Any alteration of that photo, in any way, reduces the amount of information contained in the original. Editing photographs that are intended to be used as genealogical evidence is unacceptable, just as altering a birth date or death date would be.

On the 25th anniversary of the 1987 stock-market crash, traders are once again trying to find something to believe in. After yesterday's Google earnings debacle, distrust of China's GDP data and fears that Europe won't act forcefully enough to stem problems in Spain and Greece, it's causing a lack of confidence sell-off. Yet while oil toils and precious metals falter the heating oil-gasoline spread continues to rock.
Oil prices were sliding yesterday because the Chinese GDP data was either too strong to inspire quantitative easing or too strong to be believed. Doubts crept in after reports of a big drop in electricity demand. China's electricity consumption grew at an annual rate of 2.9%, the slowest growth in two years. We had the combination of a strong Philly Fed and reports that the politically charged Trans Canada Keystone Pipeline was shut down for three days for what was being called an "anomaly.
The Chinese National Energy Administration releases a monthly report on electricity consumption. The most recent observation for September showed that electricity consumption grew at an annual rate of 2.9%, the slowest growth in two years. Growth was 3.6% in August and was 11.7% during 2011. According to estimates from Patrick Chovanec, business professor at Tsinghua University, electricity consumption actually fell 9.8% in the month of September, which is considerably weaker than the normal seasonal decline.
Yet with all the wild swings, we continue to see incredible moves as the "Widow-Maker," long heating oil short RBOB gasoline, spread has picked up over 20¢ in a week. While the spread is rebounding a bit and the volatility is high the spread should continue to work as spread traders may sell into a 7¢ to 10¢ correction.
Beehive Bang Up!
The Wall Street Journal reported that some natural gas traders are complaining because apparently they believe that high frequency traders are "banging the beehive." Banging the beehive the Journal says is when "high-speed traders send a flood of orders in an effort to trigger huge price swings just before the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) storage data hit. Or as I call it "price discovery."
The Journal writes that veteran natural-gas trader John Woods has a simple trading strategy around data on U.S. gas stockpiles: Stay away. Mr. Woods and other floor traders at the New York Mercantile Exchange used to look forward to the weekly report of gas-inventory figures by the EIA, widely considered the best reading of gas supply and demand in the United States. Traders would be glued to their computers before the release at 10:30 a.m. on Thursdays, ready to dive into the busiest trading window of the week. But in the past few months, unusual trading patterns have pushed many seasoned traders to the sidelines.
The Journal states that the, "shifting landscape in natural gas shows how high-speed traders are changing markets well beyond stocks, which so far has been the primary focus for regulators and lawmakers investigating rapid-fire trading."

DETROIT (AP) - A Detroit-area prosecutor wants lawmakers to pass an ordinance that could jail parents for up to three days for repeatedly missing scheduled parent-teacher conferences.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says such an ordinance is aimed at making parents responsible for their children's education, which may keep more young people out of trouble.
She's still working on the details of her plan, but says it could go before county commissioners next month. Worthy also is considering whether to approach state lawmakers with the idea.
Civil libertarians say her plan may be outside the law. Challenges are expected.
Republican Kentucky state Rep. Adam Koenig submitted a similar bill last year that gained little acceptance and failed to make it out of committee.

Bethenny Frankel is speaking out today after it was revealed the Whole Foods supermarket chain yanked her Skinnygirl cocktails off the shelves for not meeting their standards.
According to reports, Whole Foods removed the Skinnygirl drinkline after discovering it wasn't as natural as it claimed to be due to the use of a preservative known as sodium benzoate. The Skinnygirl margarita claims it uses "all natural ingredients" and "no preservatives." Whole Foods stated the following in a statement released: Skinnygirl "had been offered in 16 of Whole Foods Market's 310 stores. After discovering that it contains a preservative that does not meet our quality standards, we have had to stop selling it."
In a statement released, Bethenny shrugs off the controversy. "Skinnygirl cocktails were created to solve a problem: to create a line of guilt free cocktails allowing women to drink the indulgent drinks they actually want to drink with as few ingredients as possible," said Bethenny. "I'm not making wheatgrass here. If I could put an agave plant and some limes on a shelf I would. [The Skinnygirl Margarita] is as close to nature as possible, while still being a shelf stable product."
Beam, the company who purchased the Skinnygirl drinkline from Bethenny for a reported $100 million, also chimed in. "Skinnygirl Margarita contains very low levels of sodium benzoate (a preservative) so it can stay on the shelves," said a spokesperson for Beam, adding that the preservative is "very common."
Bethenny also makes it clear this move by Whole Foods will not make a dent in her rapidly growing Skinnygirl empire. "With all due respect to Whole Foods, we were in a dozen of their stores and have decided not to continue in these stores. They represent an infinitesimal fraction of our business. We are, in fact, the fastest growing spirits brand in the US," her statement continued. "We were bound to piss someone off and everyone loves to try to tear down a success. This is a non-event. I haven't lost even a wink of sleep."
In other Bethenny news, she also spoke out on the recent suicide of RHOBH's Russell Armstrong. In typical Bethenny fashion, she was very blunt in her comments, making it clear she does not feel Bravo is to blame for his death.
"It's preposterous to blame a TV show for someone's suicide," she told USA Today. "When the show started filming, I'd heard he wasn't so kind to his wife. But I know nothing about them."
Bethenny goes on to make a valid point when she adds that people who sign on to do reality shows typically know what comes along with it. "People sign very lengthy documents and they know what they're getting into. Life is stressful. It's unfair to blame a TV show for something personal," she added. "I believe that. I really do. If I go through something horrendous, there's no discussion that Bravo had anything to do with that."

In the commercial software world, user interfaces are generally designed by one group. Like Microsoft for Windows or Apple for Mac OS. Those desktop environments were designed by one company who did things like user testing and statistical analysis to try and make the desktop they thought would work best. Linux is different. Large groups definitely DO perform user testing and statistical analysis, but one group can also say "Here's what we want" and, if they have the ability to code it, their idea comes into being. It's pretty amazing, when you think about it. Linux lets people create what they want. If you don't like what's out there, fork it! Or start from scratch! You're in control!

Perhaps the saddest, most poignant sequence of "True Blood" Season 6 unfolds in the "Don't You Feel Me" episode when Todd Lowe's character -- war-scarred veteran Terry Bellefleur -- is shot by a sniper. He bleeds out in the arms of his loving wife, Arlene (Carrie Preston), as she comforts him by singing a lullaby.
Since the critically acclaimed HBO drama launched in 2008, this is the first time an original, regular cast member has met the "true death," in "True Blood" speak.
Making Terry's demise even more tragic is the fact that the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder crippling his gentle soul finally lifted when he's "glamored" into forgetfulness by a vampire.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
But along with forgetting the atrocities he experienced in Iraq -- and the supernatural horrors afflicting his home in bucolic Bon Temps, La., -- Terry no longer remembers that he recently decided to end his pain by ending his life.
Unable to commit suicide, he persuades Justin (Gideon Emery), a Marine Corps buddy and expert marksman, to carry out the awful deed at a time and place unknown to Terry.
The time turns out to be when the short order cook joyfully regains his love of life, family and friends. The place is Merlotte's Bar and Grill where he works with his waitress wife. The sniper bullet hits him as he performs a mundane chore -- taking out the trash.
"I had a great run on this show, but I understand why my character had to die," says Lowe. "We need to prove that life does matter and not everyone can turn into a supernatural character."
Lowe was referring to the practice on "True Blood" of violently killing cast members then bringing them back from the grave as undead vampires. That can't happen to Terry, of course, making his death much more powerful.
Lowe learned Terry's ironic fate when working on this season's initial episode.

"I got a call from my reps. I thought it was about an audition. I was bummed," he admits. Also depressed were his longtime cast mates, who broke into tears at a table reading.
"As we read the scene and it ended, I got this huge ovation from everyone at the table," Lowe recalls. "I'll never forget that moment. I had chills up and down my spine for days. I felt really loved."
A Houston native, the 36-year-old actor majored in fine arts at the University of Texas at Austin. His first big break occurred when he won an audition for "Walker Texas Ranger." That led to TV roles on "Gilmore Girls," "Without a Trace," "CSI: Miami" and "NCIS," along with movie parts in "The Princess Diaries" and "Redline."
Lowe also appeared in more than 20 theater productions and can be seen around town as a guitarist-vocalist with The LA Hootenanny, an eclectic country-rock band.
Lowe received a major career boost on "True Blood," which was just renewed for a seventh season and is one of HBO's most popular scripted dramas, along with "The Sopranos" and "Game of Thrones."
Saying good-bye to his "True Blood" family was painful, Lowe says. As was saying goodbye to Terry, a very human character in a wild and racy show dominated by vampires, werewolves, fairies, shape shifters, witches and various other supernatural beings.
"At the end of the day it's just a character you're playing," says Lowe. But his powerful "True Blood" finale proved cathartic, nonetheless.
"I went through a grieving process for my character, just like you would for the death of a friend," says Lowe, who's taking time off now and looking forward to his next project. "But I couldn't ask for a better exit," he says. "They wrote me out very well."
"Now I'm out. I'm smiling," he adds. "It's a nice day."

You've probably heard about all the cool structures erected in Beijing in time for the Olympics — including the bird's nest-esque National Stadium by Herzog & de Meuron, PTW's water cube aquatic center, the single-roofed Norman Foster-designed international airport, and the new CCTV building (innards here) — but you probably haven't heard what they've given us tennis folks.
We get a yawner of a flower.
Unlike the peony-style stadium in Shanghai, this stadium has three main courts (out of 10) with a flower petal design, with the spectators at a steep angle on each of the 12 petals to give them maximum viewing space. They also create a natural ventilation system that reduces the court temp by 5 degrees Celsius.
The main court holds 10,000 people, while Number One court seats 4,000, and Number Two court 2,000. There are another 1,400 spectator seats that overlook the other seven preliminary competition courts.
All of the courts' water will be recycled by treating it through membrane biological reactors to remove contaminants. The treated water will then be used to water the tennis center's foliage.
Fit for kings: After much hemming and hawing by the Western world, it's been reported that the squat-style toilets in most of the Olympic venues will be replaced by sit-down thrones. Bless.

MILAN (AP) — A Milan court on Friday convicted three of ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi's former associates of procuring aspiring show girls willing to prostitute themselves during the media mogul's infamous "bunga bunga" parties. The convictions, accompanied by stiff sentences, were the latest blow to Berlusconi, whose judicial woes have proven another obstacle for Italy's fragile coalition government as it seeks to get the country's finances in order.
The court handed down severe prison terms: seven years each to Emilio Fede, a longtime executive in the mogul's TV networks, and Dario "Lele" Mora, a talent agent; and five years to Nicole Minetti, a former regional politician who professed love for the ex-premier. All are expected to appeal the verdicts.
The three were part of a circle of formerly trusted associates who attended the racy parties at Berlusconi's villa near Milan that by some accounts revolved around provocative striptease performances for the then-premier. The court concluded that the three, to varying extents, played a role in organizing the women for the parties, which came to light after prosecutors started investigating the role of a Moroccan teen at the center of Berlusconi's sex-for-hire scandal.
Berlusconi wasn't on trial in this case, but he was convicted separately last month of paying for sex with a minor, the then-17-year-old Moroccan named Karima el-Mahroug, and pressuring public officials to cover it up. Both he and the young woman, who goes by her nickname "Ruby," have denied having sex although el-Mahroug testified in the trial of the three aides that Berlusconi gave her envelopes with 2,000 to 3,000 euros ($2,500 to $4,000) cash every time she went to a party, and that she sometimes spent the night.
Berlusconi claims the parties were refined affairs, and that he was merely helping a young woman in need. He has long contended that Milan prosecutors are politically motivated against him.
In that case, Berlusconi was given a seven-year prison term and banned from politics for life. He is expected to appeal.
In Italy, prostitution among adults is legal but exploiting prostitutes is a crime. A Berlusconi-led government made it illegal to pay for sex with anyone under 18, raising it from 17.
The court found Mora guilty on all counts, which included aiding and abetting prostitution, including of a minor. It indicated it took into account his cooperation and participation in the trial in the seven-year sentence, which was the same as that of Fede, whom the court convicted of aiding and abetting adult prostitution, but not of a minor.
"It's a heavy judgment," said Mora's lawyer, Gianluca Maris.
Minetti, whom witnesses said dressed as a nun to perform stripteases at the parties, was convicted of aiding and abetting adult prostitution, but acquitted of a charge of aiding and abetting the prostitution of a minor.
Minetti's lawyer, Pasquale Pantano, said the verdict showed that it wasn't his client "who organized the evenings in Arcore," where the premier has his villa.
The conviction, he said, related to the fact she helped organize payments with Berlusconi's accountant for apartments where some of the young women lived. He called the five-year sentence "excessive."
It was Minetti who retrieved el-Mahroug from police custody in August 2010 after Berlusconi intervened when the teen was accused of stealing — calls that led to his conviction of forcing public officials to act to cover up his relationship with the woman.
Fede first met el-Mahroug when she was a 16-year-old contestant in a beauty contest in Sicily, and she later made her way to Milan hoping the connection would help her land work, she told the court during the trial. She eventually made contact with Mora while seeking jobs in nightclubs, bringing her closer to Berlusconi's inner circle. El-Mahroug has denied working as a prostitute.
The court's reconstruction of the three associates' roles won't be known until its reasoning is published sometime in the next three months. But it said Friday that it was turning over files in the case to prosecutors to investigate el-Mahroug, Berlusconi, his lawyers and a number of the women who testified in the case to see if they in any way hindered the trial or investigation.
Berlusconi's judicial woes have been weighing on Italy's uneasy cross-party government. Berlusconi's allies hobbled Parliament's work in protest earlier after Italy's highest court accelerated plans to release its ruling, now set for later this month, on Berlusconi's tax fraud conviction to avoid one charge falling to the statute of limitation.
Berlusconi was sentenced to four years in jail and a five-year ban from public office in the case, and the high court's ruling marks the final appeal.

Death & justice: Officer Briggs is not forgotten
Michael Briggs probably saved New Hampshire's death penalty on Thursday.
The political momentum for a repeal of the death penalty was real. The House passed a repeal bill 225-104 in March, and Gov. Maggie Hassan had said she would sign it. With two Senate Republicans (Bob Odell and Sam Cataldo) favoring repeal, Senate passage looked promising. But there was the question of what to do with Michael Addison, the state's lone death row inmate.
Would Addison, sentenced to death for murdering on-duty Manchester Police Officer Michael Briggs in 2006, have his sentence commuted if New Hampshire banned the death penalty? A ban now would not apply to Addison, but would a court commute his sentence at some point? Could he argue that death is "cruel and unusual punishment" in a state that no longer has a death penalty?
Questions of Addison's fate and justice for Officer Briggs clouded the last few weeks of death penalty debate in the Senate. On Thursday, the vote came: 12-12. The repeal did not pass. The possibility that it might have denied justice for Officer Briggs was too much.

Clinical Impact of assessment of histopathological response by residual tumor cell quantification in patients with neoadjuvant treated esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC)
Search Medline for
|March 20, 2006
Purpose: To investigate histomorphological features as a response classification after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RTx/CTx) and to correlate the results with clinical parameters, e.g. postoperative morbidity and mortality, survival, prognosis and recurrence in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC).
Patients and Methods:Three-hundred-eleven patients with histologically proven intrathoracic locally advanced ESCC (cT3, cN0/+, cM0) located at or above the level of the tracheal bifurcation underwent preoperative combined simultaneous RTx/CTx in phase II trials followed by esophagectomy. Response to RTx/CTx was classified by percentage of viable residual tumor cells. Histopathological responders were classified by less than 10% residual tumor cells within the specimen compared to histopathological non-responders, who showed more than 10% residual tumor cells.
Results: Histopathological response was found to be correlated significantly with complete tumor resection status (R0-resection) (p<0.0001), ypT-category (p<0.0001), lymph node involvement (p<0.0001), lymphatic vessel invasion (p<0.001) and survival (p<0.0001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the histopathological response classification by residual tumor cell quantification is an independent prognostic factor (p<0.0001). Non-responders show a higher postoperative pulmonary morbidity (p=0.01), a higher 30-day mortality rate (p=0.02) and a dismal survival compared to histopathological responders (p<0.0001).
Conclusions: The histopathological response evaluation based on the quantification of residual tumor cells provides meaningful information for assessment of the outcome of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have undergone neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy.Histopathological responders seem to represent a subgroup of patients who benefit from neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery.

While some in the investment world squabble over Herbalife's scrutinized business structure, Latinos seem to be the ones keeping the embattled company on life support.
The L.A.-based maker of protein powders, vitamins, supplements and beauty products operates through a network of independent distributors, mostly Hispanics who set up "nutrition clubs" in their own homes. Much like Mary Kay or Amway, the focus of the nutrition clubs is not on selling the products – but to encourage customers to make money by selling the product themselves.
As of now, Hispanics account for up to 60 percent of Herbalife's sales in the U.S. and their involvement in this home-based business seems to be growing, despite allegations the company is a pyramid scheme that aggressively targets vulnerable minority communities.
But Herbalife says there is nothing wrong with its system, which allows the distributors to profit from their own sales as well as sales made by the distributors they recruit.
"It's the one-on-one and face-to-face interaction in the nutrition clubs that really resonates with Latinos because in our culture we're used to that," Herbalife's Senior Vice President Ibi Fleming told Fox News Latino.
"Our affinity for personal customer care means Latinos have a different mentality and cultural when it comes to service," he adds.
Developed in Mexico several years ago, these clubs have experienced tremendous success for Herbalife distributors since being brought stateside.
"We consume the same products we sell, and in that way we can tell our own story," Estuardo Loza, an independent distributor of Herbalife Products, said in an interview with Fox News Latino.
"Latinos feel they are contributing to this country by sharing the benefits of these great products."
Using sponsorship deals with athletes like soccer great Lionel Messi and sports teams including the MLS' Los Angeles Galaxy, many of Herbalife's outreach efforts are skewered specifically toward Latinos.
But now some are worried that many Latinos buying into the Herbalife brand aren't aware of the inherent risks in the company.
Bill Ackman, a hedge fund manager whose company has shorted more than a billion dollars' worth of Herbalife stock, argues that the company is all about recruiting new distributors, and not about selling weight loss shakes and vitamins to customers.
"What the company doesn't tell you is the tiny fraction of people who actually make a living off selling these products," Ackman told Fox News Latino. "They target financially unsophisticated people."
As the company itself points out, 90 percent of their distributors make little or no income off sales from the products.

text: Buyers Look for Risk-Reducers October 25, 2013 10:21 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Greg Henderson Drovers Editorial Director Email The paradigm for raising calves has changed. Good genetics and quality reputation are no longer enough to bring top dollar at the local auction, or anywhere for that matter. Cattle buyers—whether they are backgrounders or feedlots—are demanding preconditioned calves. And they're speaking loudly with their bids this fall. Indeed, the market demands they do so. The CME Feeder Cattle Index set all-time record highs near the end of September, at just a smidge under $160 per cwt. for 650-lb. to 849-lb. steers. That's a range of $1,040 to $1,360 per head! Weaned calves frequently sold for more than $2 per pound "without raising an eyebrow," according to USDA's Market News reporter, Corbitt Wall. The last week of September, he reported a 105-head string of fancy 400-lb. steers fetched $224 per cwt. at a Wyoming auction. Dollars on the table. However, Wall and most auction market operators have seen a growing discount for calves that are weaned on a truck on their way to the auction. Research of market data from prior years suggest a premium of $5 to $10 per cwt. for preconditioned calves. It's larger than that this year—and it should be. Auction market operators confirmed this year the discounts for those calves "weaned on the truck" to be closer to $10 to $20 per cwt. While such observations represent a very small sample size, there's plenty of logic that suggests they are accurate. "There's a steep discount on calves that have not been preconditioned," says Mark Harmon at Joplin Regional Stockyards in Carthage, Mo. He says he sees the discounts regularly as the auction market typically sells 5,000 to 6,000 stocker and feeder cattle each week during the fall. Buyers are more discriminating this year because their financial risk has jumped 25% with the price of calves. "A dead calf has a very poor rate of gain" is how many feedlot operators describe the frustration of buying expensive calves only to see their health fall apart a day or so after they walk off the truck. Preconditioning reduces illness rates, lowers death losses, cuts medical expenses and produces better gains. That's why cattle buyers have embraced preconditioning programs and why they're convinced the premiums are well worth the cost. Sellers get higher prices because buyers prefer healthier, bigger calves. At today's prices, cattle buyers have less incentive to gamble on the health of cheap cattle. There may not be any guarantees in the cattle business, but there are certainly strategies to reduce risk and buyers now look at preconditioned calves as risk-reducers. If you didn't precondition and long-wean your calves this year, you left money on the table, maybe even as much as $100 to $150 per head. Vow to correct that management mistake next year. It's good for your wallet and good for the industry. Beef Today's editorial director writes from Mission, Kan. firstname.lastname@example.com Back to news

A woman with a 1890's vintage Victorian house wanted a staircase to connect the first floor of her house to an apartment that had been added in the basement. She was accumulating grandchildren and needed to be able to accomodate more guests. She found a space in the front entry hall where a spiral staircase could fit, giving good privacy between the first floor and basement apartment.
She had a new granddaughter on the way, which gave a deadline for when the job had to be completed. She found a contractor who gave a very attractive bid, and she gave him two requirements - it had to look appropriate for an elegant 19th century Victorian house, and it had to be done before her new granddaughter arrived. The contractor said it would be no problem and took the bulk of the payment for the job up front.
Progress varied between slow and stalled. Workers showed up sporadically, often the only workers on site were seemingly unfamiliar with finish work, and sometimes there was no visible progress at all from one day to the next. The contractor showed up the day before the deadline to clean up his tools and install a bit of railing around the construction site so nobody would fall in the hole. There was no estimate for when the job would be completed, but there would be no work for a while with a newborn in the house.
With some time to think, the owner looked at the work so far and saw no sign of any plan - the style of construction could only be described as contemporary, completely inappropriate for the house. The construction quality was crude at best, and, as it turned out, outright dangerous. The center of the stair was a 6X6 fir post, the treads were 2" thick red oak - square edged, no details whatsover, and no attempt had been made to match the style of the woodwork that the staircase mated with. The whole affair was held together with seemingly randomly placed drywall screws and framing nails.
This is where I came in.
This is the staircase as of when the previous builder was locked out of the job site. I had already started the drywall when this picture was taken.
The angles between the steps varies between 13 and 29 degrees. What had they planned on doing to fill the holes between the steps?
The two treads that end at the wall are sitting on short 2X4 stringers that are nailed into the wall with two nails each - three of those nail went into nothing but sheetrock. They are obviously moving when the treads are walked on.
This was supposed to pass for finish carpentry. Plain red oak from Home Depot in a house that is largely antique quarter sawn oak. No need to use one long piece of oak when you can use a couple of smaller ones. Note that the screws (drywall screws, of course) holding the landing on are not even in a straight line and have not been set deep enough to allow the holes to be plugged.
This is the underside of the landing at the top. Note the gaps at the ends of the diagonal studs.
This is one we were never able to figure out. They had chopped the middle out of this stud. Why?
Here is is from another angle. What was the idea?
The two bottom steps are sitting on short 2X4s, no idea if they were intended to be permanent. The next step up is held on with drywall screws.
The marble terrazzo tile was cut with a circular saw up up to where the front of the saw hit the wall, then it was finished with a hammer. All of the tile that came out was thrown away, no pieces were saved to patch the gap.
This is what was holding the bottom of the railing post in place - nails, and lots of them.
This was all of the job so far that was salvagable - just the hole. Nothing else could be saved.
I closed up the open walls for insulation and to keep anyone from being injured on the exposed studs, and used the time given by the arrival of the new baby to draw up a plan. I tried to find a commercially available unit to fit the hole, but nothing could be found that would fit in the space (a 52" rough opening) and look appropriate for the house.
I settled on a design of a welded steel framework with wood treads. The steel would allow for a smaller diameter center pole, which was important - the rough opening was small enough that a couple of inches made a big difference. The center pole was 2 1/8" diameter.
The center pole is clamped in place.
Here are the first couple of steps in place.
It's slow work. The steel framing for the steps is firmly supported by the walls.
The top couple of stairs are going in. The steel hangers holding up the left side of the stairs are capable of carrying over 10000 pounds each.
Note that the first two stairs descend before starting the spiral. This allows significantly more headroom as the stairs wind underneath. This is a problem with most spiral stairs - the stairs have to be very steep to get the required headroom. These were surprisingly comfortable for spiral stairs.
All of the steel is in place now. Note that the wall has been patched. The drywall was set back a few inches to get every possible inch of clearance when going down the steps.
Some more drywall...
This is the start of the finish wood work. Quarter sawn oak was used to match the wood in the rest of the house and was later stained to match. The exposed edges of the wood were routed to match the profile of the other stairs in the house.
The risers are now on.
Into the home stretch - closing up the ceiling.

He was at Clemson for the Florida State game and is in regular contact with secondary coach Mike Reed. "He tells me they really want me and he likes my technique and how I go up and high point the ball on defense," Godwin said. "The head coach was not in the recruits face (on his visit) and was just telling them how it's going to be. He was not telling any stories and was real straight with them. And coach Reed was telling me how much he likes my film. Just good things." Godwin also has been to Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss and North Carolina for games and he's going to Auburn this weekend. He plans to get back to Clemson next summer and he wants to make his decision around the end of the school year. USC also is an offer but Godwin says he doesn't hear from the Gamecocks. Some of his other offers are Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Louisville, Ole Miss, North Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

Today it occurred to me that I AM becoming the person I used to dream of being. The person I wanted to be a long time ago. The person I used to wish I was. Then I stopped wishing, and started working on becoming the person I want to be. In magick you don't just wish and poof something happens. Thats hollywood magic, stage magic. Which is not real. But a trick. In spiritual magick. You work towards your goal to manifest it. I used to think, I could never be one of those straight girls. In my mind you were someone that I was. Party girl, or one of the very very religious women that wear dresses and those bonnets. But there is another alternative. ME! Clean me! Earthy me! Me Me Me! alcohol free, drug free (recreational/illegal and prescription). Clean eating me. No pop, or soda. *giggles* depending on where you live you may call it soda, you may call it pop... No fried foods. Well I've definately decreased my fried foods. Still working on the french fry connection. I do not eat any breaded food, pasta, cookies, breads, cakes, brownies, donuts or the like.
Funny that I have also manifested myself into a gluten-free diet. I am gluten intolerant. I had really really wanted to be on a paleo lifestyle. So its actually kind of funny that through my health i'm making my way there. I'd say gluten-free is a huge step in the right direction. Even if forced into it...I've often thought, maybe thats the only way I could become gluten-free.
I never thought a day would arrive that I am comfortable in my own skin. Comfortable being myself, and letting others see that self. But I do see light at the end of the tunnel. I am a happy pagan!

Who cares if some people who work in offices think incorrect things about me. They don't really know me. My family knows me. My friends know me. I know me. The Universe knows me.
Everything happens for a reason. Maybe I'm suppose to move on and its okay, and it is the right time to move on. I've been a C.N.A. for 7 years. I've learned, I've experienced, I've endured. There is now an opening for C.N.A.'s at an emergency room / clinic. And they will assist us in becoming M.A.'s if you like. Which I think that I would like to learn something new, advance in my career. But not in the direction of becoming a nurse.
I'm so tired of breaking my back lifting residents that won't help. The administration's answer to all the residents doing what she needs them to do is to 'just flirt with them'. And that is from the mouth of our D.O.N. wow! That is outside the scope of my practice for my job. If a resident can not stand they should be using a lift. But I get punched in the cheek bone for doing that & then almost fired because I had a natural reaction to scream out god dammit. hmmm... odd behavior on my part. I know... Especially since I've already been suffering with neuralgia on that whole side of my face and head for the last 5 years from shingles. My trigemenal nerve is effected. And people just do not understand that nerve damage does not mean its broken & has less pain. It means that it is ultra sensitive and has waaaaay more pain.
What I really really want for myself -is to be a successful Passion Parties Independent Consultant. I haven't yet been able to be successful with it in the small community that I live in. Not to say that I won't ever be. I'm not giving up yet.
So back to the title of my post - Keep Up The Positive. Just because I feel sad for a moment. Does not mean I have to STAY in that moment. :)
I am a witch
I am at one with the Earth, the Universe, and the Divine
I walk my path in peace
free from strife and fear
I always allow love and joy to come near
So mote it be
Blessed Be )O(
I am a many faceted person. I am empathic & proud of it & embrace it & understand it. Stop by some of my other online homes to know the other dimensions of me too. I am a passion parties consultant. I do online/facebook parties too. I am looking for team members just like you all around world. I am a pixeler. Which means I create digital graphics on my computer with a graphics program.

Ratings for Dr. Gretchen W. Carlson
Dr. Carlson is hands down, amazing. Her ability to ask the right questions, focus in on the problem, and take action (allowing you to take action) is truly a gift. It would take a lot for me to ever see anyone else at this point. In just 4 sessions, I have had just as many breakthroughs and developed a deep trust in her because of her caring, compassionate style. I never feel pushed or rushed; she never feels distracted, and in sessions with her I feel like the most important thing in her world. I highly recommend her.
I haven't seen Dr. Calson in a little less than a year, when I moved out of state, and I have had an extremely difficult time finding anyone that I can feel comfortable trusting now. She was wonderful, no one has compared yet. She did misdiagnose me in one area, but with other medical problems and the grieving I was going through, and the very similar disorder I actually do have, it was understandable, and I think anyone else would have done the same with the information she had. I truly believe had Dr. Carlson not been my therapist and psychiatrist at that time in my life, I wouldn't be here today. I only hope someday soon I can find someone else like her that I can trust with my medications, I've at least found a good therapist. I'd suggest her to anyone in WA, I used to drive from Camano Island to see her.
DR. Gretchen Carlson is an amazing person and doctor. She is extremely open and caring. She helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I just wished I had found her earier in my search for a qualified pychiatrist.

How do you manage your food plots? Head to the forum to lend your advice.
You've killed the weeds, raked away the brush and broke the soil for your food plot. It's time to plant some seeds, right?
Each year, many well-intentioned hunters and landowners make the mistake of planting food plots without learning their soil's pH levels. This is a huge mistake that wastes time and money.
A plant's survival depends strictly on the soil's fertility level. The pH level gauges the soil's acidity. On a scale of 1 to 14, 1 is acidic, and 14 is alkaline. Neutral soil — 7 — is the optimum level for plant growth. Low pH levels prevent plants from absorbing nutrients. The pH levels in fallow fields with sandy soil commonly range from 4.7 to 5.4. Lime applications can bring these levels closer to the neutral range. It isn't necessary to
get to 7, but the closer you are, the more productive your plots will be.
Tests are inexpensive and easy to complete. The easiest way to get your soil tested is to visit your local farm co-operative.

Justin Bieber Flirts With Victoria's Secret Models in 'Beauty and a Beat' Cover
Victoria's Secret Angels flirt with the camera and lip sync (using their pouty, enviable, Angelina-like pillow lips) to Justin Bieber's 'Beauty and a Beat' in this cute spot.
The Biebs also flirts with the Angels in the clip … which was what sparked the drama and the breakup rumors with his longtime lady love Selena Gomez.
The Biebs is surrounded by lots of hair-whipping hotties. No wonder Sel was pissed.
You might get dizzy, though, since the Biebs and the models spin and film at the same time. We needed a few doses of Dramamine after this three-minute clip faded out.

McQuilkin Scholarship Winner Active in Church, Community
The winner of a full-tuition scholarship from Columbia International University (CIU) in Columbia, S.C. is a prayer leader at his church, chaplain of the National Honor Society at his high school, and serves burgers and tater tots on roller skates at the local Sonic.
Zachary Kahrs, 17, of Jacksonville, Fla., is the winner of the R.C. McQuilkin Scholarship, awarded annually at CIU following a weekend of intense interviews, interactive group activities, panel discussions, and just plain fun.
Kahrs, a senior at Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, was among 63 students who were vying for the scholarship – a record number of participants representing 20 states from as far away as California, Maine, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The scholarship is named for the first president of CIU, Robert C. McQuilkin. A key criterion to winning the scholarship is leadership – something Kahrs has displayed in his teen years.
Kahrs is a member of Christian Family Chapel in Jacksonville where not only does he lead a youth prayer team before church services, he also teaches Bible to third grade boys, and leads a Vacation Bible School in the community during the summer.
In addition to being the National Honor Society chaplain at his high school, Kahrs is secretary of a group called Senior Men, treasurer of the Student Council, and a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). He is a three-year letterman in soccer. He also works part time as a roller skating carhop at a Sonic restaurant.
"I really do like to stay busy," Kahrs said in an interview. "I really like to be productive in all that I do, especially productive in bringing God the glory," he added.
Kahrs will major in Intercultural Studies at CIU because he says he wants to reach people with the gospel who have never heard of Jesus Christ.
"I want to further God's kingdom anywhere he sends me," Kahrs said.
