Hello all:
It is so sad that we again have to decry the sad state of our justice system. The grand jury in the Eric Garner case has declined to indict. Here is a pretty good article about the response of some NYC Congresspeople.
I saw part of their news conference. Rep. Jeffries was also excellent, I thought, as was one of the last to speak, but I can't call his name right now.
It should be clear that we certainly have a race problem still in America. Just read some of the articles online which describe problems ---- and some of the intolerant comments you'lll find in comments to some articles about these issues if you don't believe we still have institutional racism. We also have another problem which should be evident in the aftermath of the deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown,and Tamir Rice (and please see the latest update in post about his case). That is "Blue Privilege." Despite it supposedly being easy to obtain a grand jury indictment, the probability of a police officer being indicted is very low. Let's not forget the increasingly militaristic tone to policing; the original response to Ferguson protests showed laid that bare. However, this is likely to continue, seeing as the Pres. has declined to reign in, scale back, or otherwise curtail the 1033 program which 'gives' military stuff to local police forces (and which Congress failed to put any brakes on as well). Here's a good read on this.
There is also a very good article by Steven Thrasher which is definitely worth reading.
So, in wake of slogans such as "Black Lives Matter" and "No Justice, No Peace", I'm proposing this:
"No Justice until ALL lives matter!"
A Cleveland man's experience is told as report is released.
The Phoenix, AZ case.

On Saturday, which happens to be Earth Day, thousands of people in nearly 500 cities across five continents will join the March for Science. "We unite as a diverse, nonpartisan group to call for science that upholds the common good and for political leaders and policy makers to enact evidence based policies in the public interest," reads the organizers' mission statement. Marchers have repeatedly stressed the "nonpartisan" part, in response to disagreement about whether scientists should, or even can, remain apolitical. Though it was organized quickly after the election of Donald Trump, organizers have been wary of framing the march explicitly as a protest of the new president; after all, opposition to evidence-based policymaking is hardly new.
Nevertheless, pediatricians and herpetologists are not marching together because these are ordinary times. The obvious impetus is the dominance of a president and a political party increasingly contemptuous of scientific inquiry and inclined to flagrant denial of evidence. On the campaign trail, Trump peddled skepticism of climate change and vaccine safety. And in the scant three months that he has been president, his administration has already set in motion a number of policies that both threaten the integrity of research and the citizens who depend on it.
Consider the Environmental Protection Agency's sudden about-fact on chlorpyrifos, a pesticide sprayed on more than half the apples sold in the United States, as well as wheat, corn, soybeans, strawberries, broccoli, asparagus, walnuts, and dozens of other crops. It works by attacking the nervous system—of bugs, but also humans who come into contact with it. According to a comprehensive 2014 study of pesticides and developmental issues, pregnant women who lived near fields or orchards sprayed with chlorpyrifos were three times as likely to have a child who would develop autism. Based on this and other research linking the pesticide to developmental issues, the EPA under President Obama was close to banning it. But it was left to the Trump administration to finalize the regulation.
Dow Chemical, which sells chlorpyrifos, and other industry groups aggressively lobbied to halt the ban. Dow was particularly well-positioned to do so: Trump appointed former Dow lobbyist Mike McKenna to lead the transition team at the Department of Energy, and Dow CEO Andrew Liveris to head the American Manufacturing Council. In January, the company donated $1 million to the organizing committee for Trump's inauguration. A few weeks later, EPA administrator Scott Pruitt announced that his agency would decline to ban chlorpyrifos, despite the recommendation of its own chemical safety experts.
The decision is one of the clearest examples so far of the administration's willingness to prioritize corporate profits over scientific evidence and human health. The continued use of chlorpyrifos—some six million pounds per year in the US—will have very real consequences for farm workers and children. (So much for Trump's desire to "do something" about autism.) But it is just one of many troubling signals that scientific expertise is at best irrelevant and at worst unwelcome in the Trump administration.

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Epigenomics today said that the US Food and Drug Administration has accepted its premarket approval application for its colorectal cancer test and has granted the application priority review status.
The Berlin, Germany-based firm filed the PMA for its Epi proColon test in December, after successfully completing a head-to-head comparative study with fecal immunochemical test screening. The submission was the fourth and final module of the PMA.

There's no mystery to the Pell grant application. I'll keep this short and sweet. You probably already filled out your application and just don't realize it.
The application is part of the FAFSA process.
When you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (also called the FAFSA), you apply for several programs all at once.
To apply, just go here: Pell grant application
Here are some of the other programs you'll apply for:
You will also find out your eligibility for several federal scholarships, and a few other programs, like work-study programs at the federal level.
See? Sometimes paperwork is useful.
Your state likely also uses the FAFSA to evaluate your eligibility for their programs - many states use it. Several states, like New York, California, Texas and many others, have in-state programs to help students with tuition.
When you submit the FAFSA, you are being evaluated for those programs as well. Your college or university also uses the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for many of their in-house programs as well, such as grants or an in-state work-study program.
After filling out the FAFSA online and submitting it, you will have to wait a short period of time, 3-10 days usually.
You will get a pin to log in and check your results. You will see a report there called your Student Aid Report, sometimes called a SAR. This report will tell you what federal programs you are eligible for, and takes about a week if you do it electronically. It takes up to 2 weeks if on paper.
The Student Aid Report, as your Pell Grant application, will tell you if you qualify for a grant. Typically, this money will go directly to your college or university to cover part of your tuition, and it will come in 2 pieces:
Half in the Fall semester
Half in the Winter/Spring semester
If your school uses quarters, then it will divided in 3 pieces, one third for each quarter. The checks should arrive directly to the school financial aid department, and you won't have to do much more to receive it. Maybe sign an acknowledgement.
Then the money just arrives, until next year, and you have to fill out the FAFSA again. It's just a form.
Fill out the FAFSA, and see if you qualify.
You can contact your school's financial aid office for the school's aid offers, and the state offers as well, usually.
After you get your report and any local offers, you may have to fill out a few more sheets for loans.
Yes, the FAFSA is a long-ish form, but that's just the small price you pay (your time to fill it out) in order to get the benefit.
Take a few minutes and fill it out. If you are 24 and haven't got a good job, and you want to finish, you probably will qualify for something.
Good luck!

SegaNet (sometimes stylized SEGANET) is a program buried in Sonic Dreams Collection's folder structure that emulates a fictional connection to (and hosting of) a SegaNet server through a range of defunct or nonexistent protocols, provided the user inputs the correct username and password. When SegaNet is connected, Sonic Dreams Collection will identify it as a SegaNet adapter and allow Make My Sonic and Eggman Origin to function properly.
Something to note is that the fictional SegaNet actually existed, at least acoording to sprites burried deep into Sonic Eraser.
Location Edit
/Extra Data Files/Unsafe File (use at own risk)/Corrupted Data
Protocols Edit
When connecting to SegaNet, the user is given a choice of protocol, none of which have any effect on the game:
- Netlink
- Dreamnet
- Sega Channel
- Phone Modem
- Amped(TM) BoltNet*
- Neptune Link**
- SegaNet (NA)
*Amped(TM) BoltNet allows for a third connection option, LOUD SERVER (UNSAFE)
**Neptune Link is greyed out in the protocol dropdown menu and cannot be selected. Possible reference to the cancelled Sega Neptune.
Connection Options Edit
When connecting to SegaNet, two options can be selected. As with the choice of protocol, the options do nothing:
However, selecting Amped(TM) BoltNet as SegaNet's protocol will bring up a third option, LOUD SERVER (UNSAFE). Selecting this option has no effect on gameplay, instead playing the song Loud Server (Unsafe) and pushing up the gain to introduce heavy distortion to the song.
Behavior Edit
After leaving SegaNet running and out of focus for around 45 minutes, it will begin playing bosa until the window is returned to focus. The mute button that appears in the upper-left hand corner of SegaNet only mutes the introductory text crawl and not bosa, and will also shift to other corners of the window at unknown intervals.
Neptune Link Edit
Neptune Link proved to be of great interest to community efforts investigating the game's ARG, as its inability to be selected as a protocol was interpreted as a clue, and a possible next step forward. Hacking the game's code to enable Neptune Link has proven that it behaves as all other protocols do; the selection of protocol does not affect gameplay.
Also an possible reference to the cancelled Sega Neptune, wich was supposed to be a stand-alone 32x.

Yesterday I asked rhetorically what would make Democrats happy, aside from canceling the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. Overnight, libs obliged. Broadway star Jennifer Holliday, who was scheduled to perform at the inauguration, announced that she was backing out, issuing an apology to her fans "for her lapse of judgment" and "for being uneducated on the issues." Give her points for honesty.
Several other celebs have already performed but not for the inauguration but to oppose it. The Daily Mail notes that a bevy of Hollywood denizens, including Emma Stone, Natalie Portman, and Amy Adams, have pooled their "talents" for a recording of the disco classic "I Will Survive." Get it?
Trending: Kellyanne Conway Makes HEAVY Statement on Kavanaugh Accuser
A group that calls itself Refuse Fascism published a full-page anti-Trump ad in The New York Times on Jan. 4 and is planning a flash mob to surround the Trump Hotel in D.C. (Flash mobs are the "adult" version of holding your breath till you turn blue.)

It is beginning to look a lot like the upcoming Geneva Auto Show in March will be a major watershed moment for green car concepts and production models. One of the latest to announce they will be showcasing, according to Green Car Advisor, is Opel. This European auto brand will be debuting the Flextreme GT/E concept car, a vehicle sporting extended-range electric vehicle (E-REV) technology.
Opel, which is a unit of GM, said this concept car will showcase GM's E-REV drive system, already developed for the Opel Ampera. With it, the Flextreme GT/E reportedly will be capable of "a battery-powered driving range of up to 60 km – with zero CO2 tailpipe emissions – and a total range of more than 500 km. Average fuel consumption is estimated at 1.6 l/100 km, with CO2 emissions of less than 40 g/km." The wheels will be powered at all times by electricity, with a typical journey of up to 60 km having energy supplied by a T-shaped lithium-ion battery pack located under the floor and rear seat.
It was added as well that the "motor in the electric drive unit delivers a substantial 370 Nm of instant torque, giving lively performance and projected zero to 100 km/h acceleration in less than nine seconds." The point of this particular electric car concept looks to be showcasing that this extended-range electric vehicle (E-REV) technology can be plugged into large or mid-size vehicles, as well as compact cars, while still maintaining the integrity of its green design.

Surthrival Business Reviews
Surthrival has literally tons of custom products like survival gear, tinctures, pollens and pretty much anything under the sun. There is no real way for us to get reviews on all products. Would take days. So, the best we can do is just get some general reviews about the store and the popular items they carry. It's good to remember that this business in general is fairly popular so they know their stuff and you don't have to worry about not getting a product. We suggest comparing their products to other sites as well. One thing regarding Surthrival that we noticed is the overwhelming good cost. Anyhow, make sure before anything you read their Amazon Reviews and interview with the company CEO. And hey, while your at it you might as well peruse our custom Surthrival deal section of opClarity. Save yourself some money.
We also definitely encourage our users to get their own information around the web prior to purchase. Maybe you have a tried and true sniff test. Use it!
Here is an amusing Surthrival video review
Some reviews found along on the web follow..
According to Buhner, the tree that contains the most powerful phytoandrogens known so far is pine, especially its pollen. Phyto-what? Yeah, we know, just another weird term you've likely never heard of. When consumed, pine pollen binds with testosterone receptors in your body and helps stimulate androgenic activity, which naturally boosts your testosterone, Buhner writes.
Raw pine pollen is said to be the richest seedbed of testosterone derived from plants. Since it is the male sperm of pine trees, it fosters plush growth in all living creatures, from trees and plants to animals to humans. Pine pollen can raise low testosterone in men, address prostate issues, and eliminate sexual dysfunction brought on by low androgen levels. Move over, Viagra! Even Tim Ferris ("superhuman" author of The 4-Hour Body and The 4-Hour Work Week) recommends it in his new book, The 4-Hour Chef.
Phytoandrogens in pine pollen other than testosterone include androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and androsterone. With a complex source of androgens, it is an incredible source of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Meanwhile, pine pollen is packed with more than 200 natural bioactive nutrients.
And from the company itself…
Surthrival colostrum is our go-to "immune-milk" because it is TRUE 6-hr colostrum (it's not diluted with "transitional milk"). Secondly, it is milked from organically-raised cows. And thirdly, the gentle processing and dehydration ensures that the precious fats remain intact all the way to the final product. They have definitely taken the extra effort to ensure the best possible colostrum available. If you decide to choose Surthrival, it is available in capsules, 6.5 oz powder, kilo tubs, and now, 2-kilo bags for heavy users!

Who Created Ultron?...
I've never had any idea what I was doing. I've never had a plan. I've never fully dedicated myself to anything. And if I said that I had it all figured out - I was lying.
I hope that whatever I'm doing works because I don't want to be content eighty years from now. I want everything NOW. I want to be floating out on a lake, on a boat. Drunk, sun-burned and singing. Nobody will ever know that I killed her. They would never think to look on the lake bottom. But, I'll keep the head as a souvenir. And if the power goes out in the freezer? Who knows. There are always stores that sell ice, right?
I don't know what that was all about.
You get tired sometimes, sometimes you're too lazy too erase or fix shit - because what's the point? You like it. You hate it. You like it better later, hate it more later, etc.
I killed two spiders today. That seems a bit excessive, doesn't it? One I felt sorry for and one I didn't. I'll explain to you why if you ask me.
I want to stay inside forever. I'm sick of talking to people. I want to be Eric Stoltz from MASK, John Travolta from The Boy In The Bubble and Boo Radley from To Kill A Mockingbird all wrapped up into one. I'm probably a bit more Howard Hughes, though. Just without the immense wealth. doh. I don't know.

I've felt the urge to write today and I think it's because I need to write about my day. It hasn't been a particularly unusual day but it has been a day filled with the payback from good stress and bad stress.
Every three or four months I have a night or two away from home, usually in London & Kent, to catch up with friends and to meet with one of the people who holds Lasting Power of Attorney for me. I'm more obsessive than compulsive when it comes to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and I make plans two or three months ahead of these trips so that I have time to obsess and worry at my leisure. That sounds a bit strange but if I'm going to fret then I may as well to it in a measured way so as to control the cycle as much as I can.
I was away last week for a few days. It was a perfect time and I met up with friends and had a great time with them. I spent a lot of time wandering and taking some photos. With one friend we did some brainstorming about a website he's in the process of setting up and that was good in itself. Too many people write off people with mental health problems no matter how intelligent they are.
That was good stress, enjoyable stress.
On Tuesday I had an operation on my mouth. What should have been a routine extraction became an operation because the tooth had collapsed under a crown and there was nothing to grip on to. Added to that was my slightly unusual roots which had to be drilled apart and what appeared to be an aborted attempt at root canal surgery. I worried about it and as the day got nearer my panic got a little more intense. I have a phobia and need to have sedation so that I remember nothing and the process is easier for me. It's not easy. The good thing about the whole procedure on Tuesday was that because my gum was cut open I
ve had stitches and so there is no need for those awful salt rinses and no need to worry about developing a dry socket. I do worry about bleeding though because I always bleed longer than usual and when I had my tonsils out complications meant that I had a blood transfusion after I had bled profusely for five days. I think traumatic is the word.
Today I was expecting a Sky box to be installed at home and was really looking forward to it. When the engineer got here there was a problem because the customer sales advisor who took my order on the phone didn't send a viewing card for some reason and that means I can access Freeview channels but not the Sky channels unless I use my iPad, Yes, this is a first world problem, yes it does seem a little dramatic to let it affect me and yes, I am aware that I sound a bit like a spoiled brat but I have no control about the reaction my mind will have to anything and today was the last straw. The promised phone call to sort the problem didn't happen and I had to ring them and sort it out. I think it was a result that I felt totally overwhelmed but I didn't lose my temper and as a result got the matter sorted in a way that I can't complain about – if it goes to plan.
There has been tears today and a big sense of not coping and it has been the collected stress of the last two weeks that has caused this. I've given in to the tears and tried to remember that the day started off well because I got photos of the partial solar eclipse this morning and that was a wonderful experience.
I got a text this afternoon from a friend and it knocked me off my feet a little. It was kind and loving and exactly what I needed to be told today. That's friends for you though, they know what you need to hear when you need ot hear it.
Tonight I've sat and counted my blessings and they are too many to list here but I'll share a few with you –
I've eaten properly today for the first time since my surgery and it was good;
My cats played with bubbles – the look on their faces as the bubbles drift down towards them is amazing;
I had banana milk for the first time in ages – it still doesn't taste of bananas but it tastes of comfort;
I finished a book I bought to read on 10 hours of train journeys back in January and though it's not the best book I've ever read it wasn't disappointing and finally,
I had a bath, washed my hair, sat down on the sofa and haven't moved since.
Stress, be it good or bad, can be destructive for those of us with manic depression but we don't have to let stress take us off into places we don't want to go. Counting my blessings was being mindful and being mindful can anchor the mind in a way that nothing else can. I didn't think I'd been feeling this settled tonight when I looked at how my day has been but looking at my day has made me realise that there has been more good than bad and that today I win.

Odysseying with Paul – The Night the Jailhouse Rocked!
Acts 16:11-40
June 18, 2017
I don't profess to know anything about sailing. The only time I ever attempted sailing was on a tiny, one-person Catamaran at Smith Mountain Lake. I won't bore you with the details—suffice it to say it ranked up there with many of my kayaking adventures!
But one thing is very much obvious when you are sailing—it is much, much, much easier to journey with the wind at your back as opposed to having it in your face.
Last week we heard how the wind of God's Spirit was blowing in Paul's face, preventing him and his missionary colleagues Silas, Timothy and Luke from traveling to Asia. God had a different direction in mind. After seeing God's vision of a man pleading for them to come to Macedonia, to take the Gospel to Europe, we read the following:
11 We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to Samothrace, the following day to Neapolis, 12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days….
The words we took a straight course means that the wind and will of God's Spirit was literally and figuratively at their backs as they sailed across the waters of the Aegean Sea. The trip went smoothly and quickly. And when they reach shore in Macedonia, they are in for the adventure of a lifetime! They head to Philippi, the largest city in Macedonia—a very hipster, cosmopolitan kind of place, and when the Good News of Jesus Christ hits that town….
SOME ARE ENLIGHTENED – Acts 16:13-15
Paul and his cohorts hear there's a group of women with some religious leanings who hold a prayer meeting down by the river on the Sabbath Day. The group is led by a well-heeled, highly-influential merchant by the name of Lydia. She's a mover and shaker in the local business community.
Paul is an amazing teacher. He enlightens this faithful group of women, helping them to see that Jesus Christ is the true lens that brings their murky view of faith into true focus.
Lydia especially embraces this Good News, and becomes a staunch believer. She and her household are baptized. They become new creations in Christ.
Then she graciously offers hospitality to Paul, Silas, Luke and Timothy…they can use her home as a base of operations from which the Gospel can be spread while they are in the area. And thus, the first house church, the Church at Phillipi, is born!
As an aside, did you know that the house church movement is quietly making inroads in America right now in this era in which the institutional church is in decline? What goes around, comes around, some 20 centuries later!
Yes, when the Good News of Jesus Christ hits town, some are enlightened… and yet, we also see that
SOME ARE ENRAGED - Acts 16:16-24
Things are going pretty smoothly for Paul and his gang. They are making great inroads in sharing the faith, that is, until one day when they happen upon this slave girl who has what the Bible calls a "spirit of divination". In other words, she is a fortune-teller, and she earns a ton of money for her owners.
Paul senses that this slave girl's fortune-telling ability comes from evil spirits. And it becomes pretty obvious as she starts following Paul and his friends around, ridiculing them as she proclaims like a broken record, "These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you "a" way of salvation!" And she will not shut up!
Paul refuses to allow the message of Christ to be tainted by evil, to have any connection with something that is impure. And, not to mention, this girl has gotten on his last nerve. So, after several days of this, he stops the girl in her tracks, and commands the evil spirit to come out of her. And it did.
But now the slave girl's fortune-telling days are over. She is no longer a source of income for her owners. And these pimp-like purveyors of exploitation are none-too-happy about it. So what do they do?
They seize Paul and Silas and drag them before the magistrates of the city. And the testify, "These men are disturbing the city, causing an uproar!" (A lie, but never mind that.) "They are Jews and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us as Roman to adopt or practice!" (Another lie, but never mind that either)
Consequently, Paul and Silas are stripped, beaten half-to-death, and thrown into the squalor of the local jailhouse.
If there is one constant thread that runs throughout all history, it is when believers confront exploitation, we can expect suffering. There is a price to be paid, a pound of flesh to be exacted, when we go head-to-head with injustice. It takes a special kind of courage to remain faithful to one's faith in the midst of such pain.
Yes, when the Good News of Christ hits town, some are enlightened, but some are also enraged. However, we also will soon see that
SOME ARE ENGULFED – Acts 16:25-34
Now friends, how do you think you would respond if what happened to Paul and Silas happened to you? You've been lied about in a court of law– you've been stripped and flogged within an inch of your life – you've been thrown into prison, your feet locked in wooden stocks.
Every excruciating breath reminds you of the beating you've just received. Your ribs are cracked. Your kidneys are bruised. Your back aches. Your legs are clamped and cramped. It's damp, dark and cold. Rats are licking your sores. Would you be in the mood to lead a late night hymn sing?
And yet, that's precisely what Paul and Silas do! They are singing to the top of their lungs "I'll Fly Away" and other uplifting tunes. Singing praises while in chains is a soul-shocking witness, to say the least! It's the night the jailhouse rocked!
And then, all of the sudden, the jailhouse starts to shake, rattle and roll! An earthquake hits! An example of God's perfect timing, to say the least! Walls crumble, doors are jarred open, chains are loosed!
And the jailer is absolutely panicked!
I've always had a special respect for jailers. My uncle Bob Steele was the chief jailer for the Mecklenburg County Jail for some 30 years. He was a calm, quiet man. Whenever I would ask him what it was like being behind bars with inmates all day, he would just smile and say, "Son, you don't want to know."
Uncle Bob raised a huge garden of roses….all sorts of brilliant hues and colors. Tended them daily. I suppose it was his way of finding some beauty after dealing with a mighty depressing job all day.
This poor jailer had nothing to do with Paul and Silas' incarceration. Yet, now, he faces the Roman penalty of torture and death if they escape. He is responsible for them, and if they leave, he will be executed. So he figures he might as well die under his own terms. He draws his sword, and is ready to fall on it, when he hears Paul shouting, "Don't do yourself harm! We are all here!"
What happens next is simply amazing! The jailer goes to Paul and Silas, falls down on his knees, and cries out, "What must I do to be saved?" Obviously, he's been listening. He's been listening to Paul and Silas – as they make that jailhouse rock – with their songs and prayers. Who knows, maybe he's heard Paul preaching on the streets of Philippi. We don't know.
One thing we do know—Paul and Silas care for the jailer's welfare. They care about his life. They literally save his life. "Do not harm yourself! We are all here!"
Yes, Paul and Silas show the jailer mercy and, in turn, the jailer is overwhelmed by grace. "What must I do to be saved?" he cries out. And Paul tells him, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved—you and all your household!" The jailer and his family are thoroughly engulfed by grace!
The jailer takes Paul and Silas home with him. He bathes their wounds. They bathe him and his family in the waters of baptism. They share a meal together. They share the joy of Christ's salvation and hope together. And that fledgling church at Philippi has some fantastic new members!
I'd like to have a jailer in my church to keep you folks on the straight and narrow!
EPILOGUE- Acts 16:35-40
Wow, what a couple of weeks it's been for Paul and his missionary cohorts in Philippi! And it's not over yet!
The jailer gets a memo from the magistrate that Paul and Silas are to be quietly released from custody. But Paul refuses to take his freedom and run. No way! You see, Paul and Silas are Roman citizens.
He explodes, "Let these sorry, corrupt officials come and escort us to freedom themselves. With our Roman citizenship, they had no right to beat us publicly and throw us into prison. No sir! They aren't going to get rid of us quietly!"
Well, with that, the magistrates come apologizing all over themselves. Paul and Silas are released with their dignity and integrity intact. But moreso, Paul's courage to stand tall encourages faith and ensures fairness for future believers in that city of Philippi. Paul is not some reckless, feckless militant, but he's not some spineless milktoast either. And there will be others who come after him who will demonstrate that same courage of faith in Christ.
In fact, of all the churches Paul establishes throughout his missionary journeys, that Church at Philippi will always remain his favorite. There were some mighty good folks there!
And I'm sure wherever Paul had an audience in years to come, he never tired of telling the story about the night the jailhouse rocked!

Rosalien (Aiello) Gargan
Rosalien (Aiello) Gargan was called home by Our Lord April 20, 2009. Rosalien was born in Pittsburg, California and graduated from Pittsburg High School. Following graduation, she attended Telegraphy School in Santa Cruz, which resulted in a thirty-four year career with Western Union Telephone and Telegraph. Her employment with Western Union took her to branches in Oakland, San Francisco, and Reno where she was instrumental in organizing and opening Western Union's western regional office.
Rosalien was a devout Catholic whose faith allows her to join her mother, Frances LoCoco Aiello; father, Antonio Aiello; brother Jack Aiello and baby daughter, Colleen Sherry, in Heaven. Rosalien's loving and playful personality leaves amazing memories in the hearts of her daughter, Dr. Cindy First and husband Brian French, and granddaughter, Melissa First. Her Incredible bond with her two sisters, Josephine Aiello and Mary Aiello, and brother Peter Aiello leaves a void in their hearts that is comforted by recollections of growing up on 6th St. in Pittsburg as first generation Italian-Americans. Rosalien's sisters-in-law, Marti Aiello and Dolores Aiello, nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and grand-nephews remember Aunty Ro as a friend and confidant whose unconditional love was immeasurable. Spending time with family and friends was Rosalien's life-purpose, hobby and greatest pleasure. She will be missed by those lucky enough to have known her.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Anne's Catholic Church, 215 W. Walnut Street, Lodi, California, on Thursday, April 3, 2009 at 11:30 a.m., followed by a reception. Committal will be private and there will be no visitation. Remembrances in Rosalien's name may be made to St. Anne's Catholic Church or to a charity of choice. Arrangements are under the direction of the Donahue Funeral Home.

I hope you had a good day! Today is Hannah's 16th birthday! I really can't believe how big my girls are getting. It does go quick. We went to the beach today for a walk, to look for shells and Hannah went for a run. Not to many shells today. Molly was kind enough to help me with my butterfly project today. Here is butterfly #90.
We got there early so the sand was still nice. A simple hand drawn butterfly. I stepped around in the wing sections to make a little pattern. Molly really is a trooper to do this. We walked around for a while, after we made this. On our way back to the car, we stopped to find the butterfly again.
We did find it, and you can see a few more footprint trails to the beach. Molly posed one more time for me. She leaves for Washington DC tomorrow morning, for her eighth grade trip. I have to drop her off at 5:30am. She is so excited! We had a nice ham dinner tonight and had Hannah's cake for dessert. She wanted the chocolate wafer with whipped cream cake. It is everyone's favorite and pretty easy to make. That's about it for tonight. I need to get to bed early as well, but I am sure I will still be up for a little.
I hope you had a great day! Whether you celebrate Easter, Passover, the Vernal Equinox or just a beautiful day, I hope it was a day filled with joy!
Thanks for stopping by!
Take care,

Sen. Grassley Concerned About "Phantom Pharmacies"
Strict Standards: Declaration of C_DataMapper_Driver_Base::define() should be compatible with C_Component::define($context = false) in /nfs/c06/h01/mnt/156219/domains/quitamteam.com/html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/datamapper/class.datamapper_driver_base.php on line 0
Senator Raises Concerns About Medicare Fraud at 'Phantom Pharmacies'
By MATTHEW MOSK
Apr. 5, 2010
Federal health officials have failed to police the emergence of phantom pharmacies – fly-by-night storefront operations that bill millions of dollars in false Medicare bills and then vanish — according to Sen. Charles Grassley.
The Iowa Republican wrote to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Monday to ask why complaints about what he termed "phantom pharmacies" have repeatedly gone unanswered by her agency.
" In recent months, one private insurer approached my office with concerns over the lack of responsiveness by HHS when presented with credible evidence that fraudulent pharmacies were defrauding Medicare," Grassley wrote.
"These pharmacies included empty store fronts, apparently without customers, that nonetheless billed millions of dollars to private insurers."
Grassley included in his letter several examples of allegedly fraudulent operations, most of them based out of Florida and California. According to his aides, the scam starts when a phony pharmacy operator tricks unsuspecting patients – often seniors or immigrants — into turning over their Medicare billing information. This information is then used by the start-up pharmacy to submit phony reimbursement requests to the federal government. After rushing to collect claims, the pharmacies shut their doors before the fraud can be discovered.
A Los Angeles area pharmacy billed $1.3 million under the Part D program in a period of 18 months, more than double the Rite Aid pharmacy blocks away," Grassley's letter asserts.
One Miami pharmacy recovered $245,000 in suspect claims from the government in less than three months. The owner subsequently abandoned the facility "and bought a one-way ticket to Europe, where he is at large," Grassley 's letter said.
A spokesman for Sebelius, Peter Ashkenaz, told ABC News "we are reviewing the letter, which was just received, and will take immediate and appropriate action to investigate these allegations."
In his letter, the senator wrote that he only became aware of the problem after an investigator for an insurance company approached him. The insurer, whom Grassley does not identify in his letter, told Grassley that he spent a year trying to bring evidence of the criminal behavior to the attention of investigators at HHS.
"This situation is troubling on so many levels," Grassley wrote. "I am disturbed by the cavalier attitude of the Department. Why would the Department fail to respond to these red flags?"

A command-line and programmatic interface to various social sharecount endpoints.
Project description
A command-line utility and Python library to access the social share counts for a particular URL.
Note: unfortunately this utility can no longer be used to fetch tweet and retweet counts, as Twitter has removed the API this functionality relied on. Facebook and other platforms still work.
Usage: socialshares <url> [<platforms>...] [options] Options: -h, --help Show this screen. -p, --plain Plain output. -r <attempts>, --retry <attempts> Retry fetching up to <attempt> times [default: 1] -e, --exit Exit with an error code when not all counts could be fetched.
Some examples:
# fetch count for all supported platforms, # try again once (the default) for platforms that fail $ socialshares http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ # fetch only facebook $ socialshares http://www.theguardian.com/politics facebook --retry 2
Supported platforms
|facebook shares and comments
|linkedin shares
|google +1's
|pinterest pins
|reddit ups and downs (summed across posts)
Platforms are fetched in parallel and retried (once by default.) If no platforms are specified, just facebook and twitter will be returned.
Unsupported platforms
The following APIs unfortunately no longer exist, and have been removed from the interface.
|twitter tweets and retweets containing the URL
|facebook likes, shares and comments
By default, socialshares outputs JSON:
{ "reddit": { "downs": 0, "ups": 6 }, "google": 20, "facebook": 1498, "twitter": 300, "pinterest": 1 }
Use the --plain flag if instead you'd like space-separated output.
$ socialshares http://www.theguardian.com/politics twitter
Usage from Python
import socialshares counts = socialshares.fetch(url, ['facebook', 'pinterest'])
pip install socialshares
# optionally, for asynchronous fetching
pip install grequests
If requests_futures and (for Python 2.x) futures are installed, social-shares will use these packages to speed up share count fetching, by accessing the various social media APIs in parallel.

I have 3 children now. Kevin is 9, Annelyse is 7 and Ayden is 5. To say they complete me, may sound corny to some, but to me it says everything. As a child I remember wanting to be a Mom. I can remember this one time I was 13 or around there anyway. I remember thinking that I wanted nothing more then to skip all the "kid stuff" and go right on to being a Mother and a Wife. That's what I wanted to be when I grew up. Ofcourse when anyone asked the generic answers always applied. A nurse, a doctor, a lawyer, a lobbiest. I named them all. But my heart knew the truth. All I ever wanted, was to be what I am now. I realize that it's not the easiest job, but for me, it's my most favorite thing. When I look into their eyes, I can see so much. I want so much for them. I want to be the best Mom I can be. I'm not perfect by any means. I will be the first person to admit my mistakes. I've made some doozies, oh my, yes I have. But isn't that the whole idea? To live and learn. That should be on my bumper sticker. TO LIVE AND LEARN..... I sure am!! Every single day brings a new lesson, some I fail miserably, some I do ok in, some I pass with flying colors. All of them however, are learning experiences.
No matter what happens to me, one thing that will always be mine, is the love I have for my children. No one can ever take that away from me. It's the most amazing thing to me. How I can love them so unbelievably much. I could care less how corny I sound. No matter what I teach my children, no matter what we do in our lives together, one thing that will always be the same is that I am completely, whole heartedly, 100% madly in love with them. They make me laugh and cry, they make me smile, and frown, they make me happy and angry, and they have me completely wrapped around them. I just adore them.
My hope for this blog is to share my experiences as a mother and wife. I've had so many funny things happen to me over the years, I've often heard people tell me to write them down. Some of the most ridiculous things that have happened I still can't quite believe them myself. It's important to me that I don't forget them. I want to always remember this time in my life, the new times to come, and the crazy exciting times that have passed. I plan to share all of my experiences, my failures, my success. My thoughts and feelings on any given day. That's what is so wonderful about blogging, you can share your life, and it is my hope that it will touch someone. I also love the idea that my children can read this, and as they grow read things that have happened, and smile, or cry. They will have this as their way to remember what we've gone through. It's a gift that I want to give us all. I realize I could just do it privately, in a journal or scrapbook, but I'd also like to extend it to others. I think it will be great for me to put things out there. To share my journey as a Mother. It would be with great delight if I knew that I was able to touch someone out there, help another Mother. Offer advice to new Mom's starting out, share experience with other's just like me. Learn from it all myself. There are so many ways that this can help me, and it can only be an added bonus if it helps another as well.
So with that I will close my first entry. I can't wait to see what happens as I go, what crazy new things will happen today, tomorrow and so on. One thing for sure, it's always a wild ride in my house, and there is always something to tell.
God Bless!

Another month has come & gone! They are flying by faster & faster each month but, with each new week & each new month it's an absolute joy to watch our little man grow!
Weight: Not 100% on this but, it's got to be somewhere around 16.5 & 17 lbs!
Hair: It's still there but, it's definitely thinning out! This absolutely breaks my heart but, I'm hoping this means it will just come back in thicker than ever! #fingerscrossed
Eyes: Blue! Blue! Blue!
Clothes: Still wearing 6 month clothes. As of this last week I think it's safe to say our 3 month rompers are out - but, I'm so glad they lasted as long as they did! #rompersforthewin You are in 9 month pajamas but, that is the Carter's brand and I feel like a 6-9 month in the Gerber brand would fit great & probably last us a little longer - your clothes can get expensive but, I love buying them!
Diapers: You are still in size 2, Huggies Little Snugglers
Sleeping: You are taking 3 naps during the day. Depends on what all we've done since the one before but, typically they last between 30 min. - 1 hour. If you're sleeping in my arms you'll go for about 1-2 hours! Your dad gets onto me for doing this but, I can't help it, I love this time with you! At night your sleeping pretty well though, still getting up once for a bottle between 1 & 3am.
Eating: You are still eating like a champ but, we've lowered your amount back down to 4 oz bottles every 3-ish hours because you were spewing so much after every bottle! That combined with adding rice cereal has helped quite a bit!
+ Several "first" happened this month... Swimming pool experience, Father's Day, Family reunion, Official family vacation.
+ You love to blow bubbles
+ You suddenly have one single dimple on your right cheek - #love
+ You've started trying to put your bink in your mouth - it's the cutest thing because it's backwards every time!
+ You're also trying to hold your bottle - you have the grasping part down but, haven't figured out that you have to turn the bottle up... one day you'll get it though! ;)
+ You have turned into quite the acrobatic in bed! It's not uncommon for us to find you completely sideways in your crib - crazy kid!
+ You are starting to roll over. Once you figure out how to get your bottom arm out of the way you'll be rolling everywhere!
Jack, you are the sweetest, funniest little guy! You truly are such a joy to have in our lives! Your laugh is infectious & your little personality is just the best! For the most part, you make parenting pretty darn easy & make me want to clone you a million times over! We love, love, love you so much baby boy - I hope you always know that!

- About Cloning a Database with CloneDB
It is often necessary to clone a production database for testing purposes or other purposes.
- Deployment of a new application, or an update of an existing application, that uses the database
- A planned operating system upgrade on the system that runs the database
- New storage for the database installation
- Reporting
- Analysis of older data
Before deploying a new application, performing an operating system upgrade, or using new storage, thorough testing is required to ensure that the database works properly under the new conditions. Cloning can be achieved by making copies of the production data files in one or more test environments, but these copies typically require large amounts of storage space to be allocated and managed.
With CloneDB, you can clone a database multiple times without copying the data files into several different locations. Instead, Oracle Database creates the files in the CloneDB database using copy-on-write technology, so that only the blocks that are modified in the CloneDB database require additional storage on disk.
Cloning a database in this way provides the following advantages:
1. It reduces the amount of storage required for testing purposes.
2. It enables the rapid creation of multiple database clones for various purposes.
The CloneDB databases use the data files of a database backup. Using the backup data files ensures that the production data files are not accessed by the CloneDB instances and that the CloneDB instances do not compete for the production database's resources, such as CPU and I/O resources.
The instructions in this chapter describe cloning a non-CDB. You can also clone a pluggable database (PDB) in a CDB using the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE statement. If your underlying file system supports storage snapshots, then you can use the SNAPSHOT COPY clause of the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE statement to clone a PDB using a storage snapshot.
The CloneDB feature is not intended for performance testing.
- Cloning a Database with CloneDB
You can clone a database with CloneDB.
Before cloning a database, the following prerequisites must be met:
1. Each CloneDB database must use Direct NFS Client, and the backup of the production database must be located on an NFS volume.
Direct NFS Client enables an Oracle database to access network attached storage (NAS) devices directly, rather than using the operating system kernel NFS client. This CloneDB database feature is available on platforms that support Direct NFS Client.
2. At least 2 MB of additional System Global Area (SGA) memory is required to track the modified blocks in a CloneDB database.
3. Storage for the database backup and for the changed blocks in each CloneDB database is required.
The storage required for the database backup depends on the method used to perform the backup. A single full RMAN backup requires the most storage. Storage snapshots carried out using the features of a storage appliance adhere to the requirements of the storage appliance. A single backup can support multiple CloneDB databases.
The amount of storage required for each CloneDB database depends on the write activity in that database. Every block that is modified requires an available block of storage. Therefore, the total storage requirement depends on the number of blocks modified in the CloneDB database over time.
This section describes the steps required to create one CloneDB database and uses these sample databases and directories:
- The Oracle home for the production database PROD1 is /u01/prod1/oracle.
- The files for the database backup are in /u02/oracle/backup/prod1.
- The Oracle home for CloneDB database CLONE1 is /u03/clone1/oracle.
To clone a database with CloneDB:
1. Create a backup of your production database. You have the following backup options:
- An online backup
If you perform an online backup, then ensure that your production database is in ARCHIVELOG mode and that all of the necessary archived redo log files are saved and accessible to the CloneDB database environment.
- A full offline backup
If you perform a full offline backup, then ensure that the backup files are accessible to the CloneDB database environment.
- A backup that copies the database files
If you specify BACKUP AS COPY in RMAN, then RMAN copies each file as an image copy, which is a bit-for-bit copy of a database file created on disk. Image copies are identical to copies created with operating system commands such as cp on Linux or COPY on Windows, but are recorded in the RMAN repository and so are usable by RMAN. You can use RMAN to make image copies while the database is open. Ensure that the copied database files are accessible to the CloneDB database environment.
2. Create a text initialization parameter file (PFILE) if one does not exist.
If you are using a server parameter file (SPFILE), then run the following statement on the production database to create a PFILE:
3. Create SQL scripts for cloning the production database.
You will use one or more SQL scripts to create a CloneDB database in a later step. To create the SQL scripts, you can either use an Oracle-supplied Perl script called clonedb.pl, or you can create a SQL script manually.
To use the clonedb.pl Perl script, complete the following steps:
A. Set the following environment variables at an operating system prompt:
MASTER_COPY_DIR - Specify the directory that contains the backup created in Step 1. Ensure that this directory contains only the backup of the data files of the production database.
CLONE_FILE_CREATE_DEST - Specify the directory where CloneDB database files will be created, including data files, log files, control files.
CLONEDB_NAME - Specify the name of the CloneDB database.
S7000_TARGET - If the NFS host providing the file system for the backup and the CloneDB database is a Sun Storage 7000, then specify the name of the host. Otherwise, do not set this environment variable. Set this environment variable only if cloning must be done using storage snapshots. You can use S7000 storage arrays for Direct NFS Client without setting this variable.
B. Run the clonedb.pl Perl script.
The script is in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/install directory and has the following syntax:
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/install/clonedb.pl
prod_db_pfile [sql_script1] [sql_script2]
Specify the following options:
prod_db_pfile - Specify the full path of the production database's PFILE.
sql_script1 - Specify a name for the first SQL script generated by clonedb.pl. The default is crtdb.sql.
sql_script2 - Specify a name for the second SQL script generated by clonedb.pl. The default is dbren.sql.
The clonedb.pl script copies the production database's PFILE to the CloneDB database's directory. It also creates two SQL scripts that you will use to create the CloneDB database.
C. Check the two SQL scripts that were generated by the clonedb.pl Perl script, and make changes if necessary.
D. Modify the initialization parameters for the CloneDB database environment, and save the file.
Change any initialization parameter that is specific to the CloneDB database environment, such as parameters that control SGA size, PGA target, the number of CPUs, and so on. The CLONEDB parameter must be set to TRUE, and the initialization parameter file includes this parameter. See Oracle Database Reference for information about initialization parameters.
E. In SQL*Plus, connect to the CloneDB database with SYSDBA administrative privilege.
F. Run the SQL scripts generated by the clonedb.pl Perl script.
For example, if the scripts use the default names, then run the following scripts at the SQL prompt:
To create a SQL script manually, complete the following steps:
A. Connect to the database with SYSDBA or SYSBACKUP administrative privilege.
B. Generate a backup control file script from your production database by completing the following steps:
Run the following SQL statement:
This statement generates a trace file that contains the SQL statements that create the control file. The trace file containing the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is stored in a directory determined by the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter. Check the database alert log for the name and location of this trace file.
C. Open the trace file generated in Step 3.b, and copy the STARTUP NOMOUNT and CREATE CONTROLFILE statements in the trace file to a new SQL script.
D. Edit the new SQL script you created in Step 3.c in the following ways:
Change the name of the database to the name of the CloneDB database you are creating. For example, change PROD1 to CLONE1.
Change the locations of the log files to a directory in the CloneDB database environment. For example, change/u01/prod1/oracle/dbs/t_log1.f to /u03/clone1/oracle/dbs/t_log1.f.
Change the locations of the data files to the backup location. For example, change /u01/prod1/oracle/dbs/t_db1.f to /u02/oracle/backup/prod1/t_db1.f.
The following is an example of the original statements generated by the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE statement:
GROUP 1 '/u01/prod1/oracle/dbs/t_log1.f' SIZE 25M BLOCKSIZE 512,
GROUP 2 '/u01/prod1/oracle/dbs/t_log2.f' SIZE 25M BLOCKSIZE 512
The following is an example of the modified statements in the new SQL script:
STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=/u03/clone1/oracle/dbs/clone1.ora
GROUP 1 '/u03/clone1/oracle/dbs/t_log1.f' SIZE 25M BLOCKSIZE 512,
GROUP 2 '/u03/clone1/oracle/dbs/t_log2.f' SIZE 25M BLOCKSIZE 512
If you have a storage level snapshot taken on a data file, then you can replace the RMAN backup file names with the storage snapshot names.
E. After you edit the SQL script, save it to a location that is accessible to the CloneDB database environment.
Make a note of the name and location of the new SQL script. You will run the script in a subsequent step. In this example, assume the name of the script is create_clonedb1.sql
F. Copy the text initialization parameter file (PFILE) from the production database environment to the CloneDB database environment.
For example, copy the text initialization parameter file from /u01/prod1/oracle/dbs to /u03/clone1/oracle/dbs. The name and location of the file must match the name and location specified in the STARTUP NOMOUNT command in the modified SQL script. In the example in Step 3.d, the file is /u03/clone1/oracle/dbs/clone1.ora.
G. Modify the initialization parameters for the CloneDB database environment, and save the file.
Add the CLONEDB parameter, and ensure that this parameter is set to TRUE. Change any other initialization parameter that is specific to the CloneDB database environment, such as parameters that control SGA size, PGA target, the number of CPUs, and so on. See Oracle Database Reference for information about initialization parameters.
H. In SQL*Plus, connect to the CloneDB database with SYSDBA administrative privilege.
I. Run the SQL script you saved in Step 3.e.
J. For example, enter the following in SQL*Plus:
For each data file in the backup location, run the CLONEDB_RENAMEFILE procedure in the DBMS_DNFS package and specify the appropriate location in the CloneDB database environment.
For example, run the following procedure if the backup data file is /u02/oracle/backup/prod1/t_db1.f and the CloneDB database data file is /u03/clone1/oracle/dbs/t_db1.f:
srcfile => '/u02/oracle/backup/prod1/t_db1.f',
destfile => '/u03/clone1/oracle/dbs/t_db1.f');
4. If you created your CloneDB database from an online backup, then recover the CloneDB database. This step is not required if you performed a full offline backup or a BACKUP AS COPY backup.
For example, run the following SQL statement on the CloneDB database:
This statement prompts for the archived redo log files for the period when the backup was performed.
5. Open the database by running the following SQL statement:
The CloneDB database is ready for use.
To create additional CloneDB databases of the production database, repeat Steps 3 - 5 for each CloneDB database.
- After Cloning a Database with CloneDB
After a CloneDB database is created, you can use it in almost any way you use your production database. Initially, a CloneDB database uses a minimal amount of storage for each data file. Changes to rows in a CloneDB database cause storage space to be allocated on demand.
You can use the same backup files to create multiple CloneDB databases. This backup can be taken either by RMAN or by storage level snapshots. If you have a storage level snapshot taken on a data file, then you can replace the RMAN backup file names with the storage snapshot names.
You can use the V$CLONEDFILE view to show information about each data file in the CloneDB database. This information includes the data file name in the backup, the corresponding data file name in the CloneDB database, the number of blocks read from the backup file, and the number of requests issued against the backup file.
Because CloneDB databases use the backup files as their backend storage, the backup files must be available to each CloneDB database for it to run. If the backup files become unavailable, then the CloneDB databases return errors.
When your use of a CloneDB database is complete, you can destroy the CloneDB database environment. You can delete all of the files in the CloneDB database environment without affecting the production database environment or the backup environment.
Dropping a Database
Dropping a database involves removing its data files, online redo logs, control files, and initialization parameter files
To drop a database:
- Submit the following statement:
The DROP DATABASE statement first deletes all control files and all other database files listed in the control file. It then shuts down the database instance.
To use the DROP DATABASE statement successfully, the database must be mounted in exclusive and restricted mode.
The DROP DATABASE statement has no effect on archived redo log files, nor does it have any effect on copies or backups of the database. It is best to use RMAN to delete such files.
If you used the Database Configuration Assistant to create your database, you can use that tool to delete (drop) your database and remove the files.
Database Data Dictionary Views
You can query data dictionary views for information about your database content and structure.
You can view information about your database content and structure using the following views:
|Displays permanent database properties
|Displays the global database name
|Contains database information from the control file

Jill doesn't like the idea of "joining". Here's my response to this feeling of reticence to "join". Sure you don't ever like to just join something because all the cool kids are doing it or because someone knocks on your door and infers you might go straight to hell if you don't.
I'd argue what Obama brings to the table is all together different. I've razzed Jill before about the fact that she seems a bit tone deaf to the reasons for the massive Obama support. It's about the deep desire to see things become different than they have been. It's about tapping into that which can't easily be explained – The American Psyche. It is also something that is unique to each individual person. For me, it's a wiping of the slate. A fresh start. When things get so screwed up as to be almost unrecognizable, you wipe the slate clean and seek a fresh new start. My opinion is that the Bush years have placed us perfectly in that spot. I also believe that Obama is perfectly positioned to be the wiping of the slate. The redemption we seek as a country. From our recent past as Neo-conservative nightmare and partisan insanity and our long historical past of racial inequality. Barack represents the chance to turn that page and move forward.
Americans have always wanted to believe the best days are ahead and Obama symbolizes that like no other. He articulates it like no other. You don't "join" just because you are being asked to. You "join" because your desire to create a new page in American history and to move forward in a positive direction lines up with the message that Obama is delivering. Guess what? When you started blogging and commenting on other blogs you "joined" the blogosphere. You didn't just do it because all the other cools kids were I assume. You can also join the Obama movement for similar reasons – because you are moved to. In the end, though, it's up to you. We'll be here waiting and we have some nice welcome gifts for anyone new who "joins".
This is passionate, Eric – but why didn't you leave me a comment as well to this effect?
#3: Because I knew it would be long and deserving of a post. Posted this over there. Figured the trackback would point here as well giving the linkage. 😉
Understood – I do that too – and I've left a comment on the WLST post with a link back to this post so people can keep commenting or reading as they like.
You will be interested I think in the conversation over here too where I also had posted the entry. There are some good comments there.

motorcycle diaries
I found this photo on the road in a semi-industrial area of Gosford, NSW. It looks like it had probably been run over by its fair share of cars and trucks. The scratches lend the image (of a man holding a baby) a quiet sense of despair. Just below the middle, left hand side of the image is what appears to be a motorcycle rear view mirror which sits there, mid frame like a floating crystal ball.

Ever since meeting my husband ten years ago, I have had to adopt spontaneity as a lifestyle. We rarely plan in advance for trips or events. For example, if you ask me what I am doing for Thanksgiving, I would say that I have no idea. As a natural born planner, it took me a while to embrace this change in how I approached life. I am adapting, though; for example, after moving 12 times in 10 years, I have learned to pack the house in a week, and unpack in four days. Now that kids are all in school, we can't just pick up and move so easily, but we still manage to make spur-of-the-moment decisions to take a trip or attend an event on weekends—especially now that my husband switched to a four day work week. For me, this strikes the perfect balance of predictability with unexpected fun and adventure.
This next salad I have been experiencing with lately. I knew I wanted and needed to make a turkey salad. For those moments when there is turkey left after Thanksgiving dinner, and sometimes just seats there in the refrigerator to dry up, but this salad will help you finish up your thanksgiving leftovers without any guilt. I love the dairy-free ranch, it's so easy to make and so much healthier and better than store bought.
Turkey Salad with Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing
- 2 cups cooked turkey, chopped
- 8 oz romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 Tablespoon red onion, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons dried cranberry
- 2 Tablespoons red bell pepper, chopped
Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro (or parsley)
- 1/1 Tablespoon chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon chopped chives
- 1 garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 Tablespoons almond milk
How to do:
- Whisk together dressing ingredients, set a side. Dairy-Free Ranch can stand in refrigerator up to 4 days sealed.
- Combine cooked chopped turkey, romain, pomegranate, red onion, cranberries and bell pepper in a salad bowl.
- When ready to serve, mix salad with ranch dressing.

Dyed up in the Delicious Fingering base which is an extremely luxurious, soft, and with gorgeous sheen and drape fingering yarn.
Each skein is dyed individually with professional acid dye so each skein is unique and different therefore don't be surprised if the same color way looks different from base to base and even from one skein to the next!. Even though this is a superwash yarn and can be machine washed I recommend to use cool water with similar colors and then lie flat to dry.
Please note that sometimes colors in the images might vary depending on monitors although I do my best to photograph the yarns accurately.

TACLOBAN CITY – The Department of Labor and Employment in Region 8 is ready to provide interventions to the workers who would-be affected by the impending closure and/or suspension order of the three mining firms in Homonhon Island, Guiuan, Eastern Samar by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Officials from DOLE RO8 led by Regional Director Elias A. Cayanong recently visited the mining sites in Homonhon Island, and conducted a series of consultation meetings with the management and workers of the three (3) mining firms in the area, namely Tech Iron Mineral Resources, Inc.; Mt. Sinai Mining Exploration and Development Corp.; and Emir Minerals Corp.
In his report to DOLE Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III, Director Cayanong said that Tech Iron Mineral Resources, Inc. still operates pending finality of the cancellation order, while the 2 other mining firms no longer operate after their operations were earlier suspended by the DENR Secretary. As of January 31, 2017, Tech Iron has a total of 620 workers, 92 females and 526 males, with 1962 dependents. Before the suspension order, Mt. Sinai Mining Exploration and Development Corp. as well as Emir Minerals Corp. used to employ over 400 workers, however after the suspension order was issued, some of the workers were absorbed by Tech Iron, while 25 of the workers of Emir were retained by the company to work on the rehabilitation of the mining site.
Given the massive displacement that is likely to happen, Director Cayanong assured the workers that DOLE would immediately provide emergency employment as well as livelihood assistance to ease the impact of the cancellation or suspension of mining operations in the area.
"We already have started profiling the workers for a rapid response in case the cancellation or suspension order is finally issued, and we have initially identified a field where the workers could engage in livelihood, like processing of ginger and cassava given the island's wide plantation of the said root crops," Cayanong added.

I2C is incredibly popular because it uses only 2 wires, and like we said, multiple devices can share those wires, making it a great way to connect tons of sensors, drivers, expanders, without using all the microcontroller pins. The only bad news about I2C is that each I2C device must have a unique address - and the addresses only range from 0 to 127 (aka 0 to 0x7F hex). Since we deal with so many I2C devices we thought it would be handy to have a table with all the most common sensors and modules we encounter, and their I2C address!
This guide is for our new TTL serial camera module with NTSC video output. These modules are a nice addition to a microcontroller project when you want to take a photo or control a video stream. The modules have a few features built in, such as the ability to change the brightness/saturation/hue of images, auto-contrast and auto-brightness adjustment, and motion detection.

Creating new jobs in Kyneton25/11/2016
The Victorian Government has helped create 170 local jobs and safeguard 300 existing jobs in Kyneton through supporting a $5.9 million Hardwicks Meat Works expansion.
Minister for Regional Development Jaala Pulford and Member for Macedon Mary-Anne Thomas today officially opened the upgraded facility in a boost for local jobs and the regional economy.
The completed project has delivered a new boning room, a cold storage facility and an expansion of the beef and lamb processing floors.
It's increased the processing plant's production capacity and has allowed Hardwicks to broaden their product range and improve the quality of the meat products it produces.
The project has provided opportunities for people to access skilled food processing jobs and secured the longer-term sustainability of Hardwicks' role as a major private sector employer for the region.
The expansion is set to provide a significant boost to the economic output of the Kyneton region and has strong support from the Macedon Ranges Shire Council and local community.
The meat sector is a significant contributor to Victoria's economy with Victorian beef and sheep meat products exported around the globe, and valued at more than $2.7 billion in 2015-16.

With over 25 years of photography experience, I have created a body of work that tells a story.
With event and portrait photography it's my desire to create engaging images that stop time and present ideas and stories of my subject matters.
Working with people and their vision is one of the joys and challenges of my work. I often travel light, being able to weave in and out, trying not to disturb or draw attention to myself during the photography process. With a desire to understand and use the new technologies, to bring a better image and account of the day.
I love connecting with people and learning about their passion, their craft, their moment and their motion in time. In the last few years, I have been drawn to dance, CrossFit, and other artists as the body and mind connect and transferred into emotions, motions, and shapes of light.
I have been fortunate to work with great people and travel all over the world. I strive to learn more and find creative, engaging ways of telling peoples stories.
If you are interested in buying, sharing or licensing the photography on this site, please contact Eoin at firstname.lastname@example.com
