WASHINGTON -- A gay rights bill appears set to overcome a key Senate hurdle Monday, after a fifth Republican expressed support for the measure to prohibit workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) said Monday that voting for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act "is the right thing to do" and that discrimination "must not be tolerated under any circumstance."
The Senate will hold a procedural vote Monday night on what will be the first major gay rights bill debated in Congress since the vote in 2010 to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy barring gays from serving openly in the military.
Under current federal law, employers cannot discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, national origin, age or disability. Only 21 states and the District of Columbia extend that prohibition to sexual orientation, while 16 states and the District of Columbia include gender identity.
Democrats secured the full vote of its 55-member caucus last week when Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) announced their support. Newly sworn-in Democrat Cory Booker of New Jersey said it would be the first bill he would co-sponsor.
Three Republicans -- Mark Kirk (Ill.), Orrin Hatch (Utah) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) -- had already voted for the measure when it was approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in July. Maine's Susan Collins, a Republican, was an original co-sponsor.
A similar bill failed to pass the Senate in 1996. None have been taken up on the floor since. In 2007, the Democratic-controlled House passed a version of the bill that did not include the provision for transgender individuals.
It appears unlikely now that a House with a Republican majority would act to follow the Senate. A spokesman for House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said it would open small businesses to "frivolous litigation" and hurt the economy. Advocates are calling on him to reconsider.
"The Speaker, of all people, should certainly know what it's like to go to work every day afraid of being fired," Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin said in a statement. "Instead of letting the far right trample him again, it's time for Speaker Boehner to stand with the majority of everyday Republican voters."
President Obama, who called for equal treatment of gays and lesbians in his inaugural address in January, reaffirmed his support Sunday and noted that a majority of Fortune 500 companies already have nondiscrimination policies for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees.
"Millions of LGBT Americans go to work every day fearing that, without any warning, they could lose their jobs -- not because of anything they've done, but simply because of who they are," he wrote for the Huffington Post. "It's offensive. It's wrong. And it needs to stop, because in the United States of America, who you are and who you love should never be a fireable offense."

Luxury Mobile‐Home Parks Don't Need Rent Control
Contempo Marin isn't your stereotypical mobile-home park. The park sits two miles from San Francisco Bay and offers tenants a pool, spa, clubhouse, and lagoon. Because of the location and amenities, these mobile homes—some of which offer vaulted ceilings, gas fireplaces, walk-in closets, and jetted tubs—can sell for over $300,000. That's what makes the rent- and vacancy-control ordinance imposed on the park by the City of San Rafael in the name of "affordable housing" so outrageous.
The ordinance caps the amount that MHC Financing, the owner of Contempo Marin, may charge its tenants—who own their mobile homes but rent the land underneath—and mandates that the land be rented at the same price to each homeowner. The result isn't lower costs for incoming tenants, but a redistribution of the value from the below-market rent directly to the mobile-home owners, whose homes now sell at a premium of nearly $100,000 above their pre-existing value. Thus far, the ordinance has transferred more than $95 million from MHC to its tenants.
MHC challenged the ordinance in federal court as an unconstitutional taking. The district court ruled in MHC's favor, finding that the alleged public purpose of the ordinance—"affordable housing"—was merely a pretext, such that the ordinance violated the Fifth Amendment's mandate that property only be taken for a "public use." As Justice Kennedy clarified in Kelo v. City of New London (2005), "transfers intended to confer benefits on particular, favored private entities and with only incidental or pretextual public benefits, are forbidden by the Public Use Clause."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, however, reversed the district court, holding that rent control generally, rather than the specific rent-control scheme at issue here, is "rationally related to a conceivable public purpose" and thus automatically meets the public-use requirement. MHC is now asking the Supreme Court to review that ruling and Cato has filed a supporting amicus brief, encouraging the Court to clarify the standard of review applied to pretextual takings claims and to confirm that the Takings Clause isn't rendered inoperative when property is transferred.
The Ninth Circuit's approach essentially bars future pretextual takings claims; any regulatory scheme viewed at its broadest theoretical level could have some "conceivable public purpose." This evisceration of the Public Use Clause leaves the appropriate standard for determining if a government's public-use justification is mere pretext in desperate need of Supreme Court clarification. The Ninth Circuit also undermined the Fifth Amendment by finding that no taking had even occurred because MHC had bought Contempo Marin after the rent- and vacancy-control provision had been enacted and therefore could have no investment-backed expectation as to the property value taken by the city. This decision directly conflicts with Palazzolo v. Rhode Island (2001), in which the Supreme Court held that buying property with knowledge of a regulation doesn't preclude a takings challenge. The Ninth Circuit ignored the same precedent in Guggenheim v. City of Goleta in 2011—a case in which Cato also filed a brief supporting a petition for review—and the lower court's continued misapplication of the law here reiterates the need for the Supreme Court to reaffirm that the Takings Clause has no "expiration date."
The Court will decide whether to take the case of MHC Financing LP v. City of San Rafael later this fall.

I Hear Voices
I don't want to tempt fate by declaring that the tide is turning against the costly and interventionist federal agriculture programs, but there have been several critical (in both senses of the word) editorials and investigative series this year on farm subsidies. The voices protesting about farm programs seem to be getting louder.
For a recent example, bravo to the Washington Post, for its editorial on Saturday denouncing the crop insurance boondoggle -- yet another agricultural policy fleecing consumers and taxpayers in order to make farming a risk-free enterprise. The editorial follows a series earlier this year from the Post, entitled 'Harvesting Cash' (you can view that series here).
The insurance program works thus: the government pays 60 percent of the premiums for crop insurance ($2.3 billion last year), and also pays a fee to insurance companies for administering the program (over $800 million). All this for crop failure losses of $752 million (yes, that's right, the losses cost less than the administrative fees). The insurance does not, however, remove the "need" for disaster payments -- over $6 billion worth since 2000, according to the Roanoke Times.
Taxpayers can sleep well at night, however, knowing they are funding "something good, the rural life", in the words of a farmer quoted by the Post. (I wonder how much money would flow to farmers if the charity was voluntary?)
Kudos also to the Boston Herald, for their Sunday editorial on the subject (view here) and the Roanoke Times (here) for their own version. The latter editorial could be especially influential since Bob Goodlatte is the representative for Roanoke County and Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee.
It is encouraging to note the number and breadth of newspapers covering this subject. The LA Times, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Des Moines Register, the Denver Post, the Chicago Tribune and the Orlando Sentinel have all run editorials on farm programs this year. Let's hope that the voices are heard, and that voters and their representatives start to demand change.

Sleeping Pill Linked to Hospital FallsMayo Clinic phasing out Ambien because of study findings.
MONDAY, Nov. 19, 2012 (HealthDay News) — The sleep drug Ambien (zolpidem) greatly increases hospital patients' risk of falling, a new study finds.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., looked at data on more than 16,000 hospitalized patients and found that the fall rate for those who took Ambien was more than four times higher than for those who did not take the drug -- just over 3 percent compared with 0.7 percent.
Ambien is a commonly used sleep drug in hospitals, according to the study, published Nov. 19 in the Journal of Hospital Medicine.
"As a result of our study, we are now phasing out [Ambien] and moving toward sleep enhancement techniques that are not based on drugs and which we believe are safer and probably as effective," Dr. Timothy Morgenthaler, Mayo's chief patient safety officer, said in a journal news release.
The fall risk posed by the drug was greater than that posed by factors such as age, mental impairment, delirium or insomnia, regardless of the dosage used, according to the study authors.
"Ensuring that people get enough sleep during their hospital stay is very important, but it can also prove very challenging," said Morgenthaler.
"Patient falls are also a significant patient safety issue in hospitals and one that has been quite difficult to tackle, despite considerable efforts. That is why it is one of the target aims of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Partnership for Patients project," said Morgenthaler, who specializes in sleep disorders and pulmonary and critical care.
"Our hospitals have an overall fall rate of about 2.5 per 1,000 patient days, which is lower than many national benchmarks," he said. However, Mayo has been unable to make a significant dent in that rate in recent years. "Now, we calculate that for every 55 patients who received [Ambien], there was one additional fall that may have been avoided by not administering the drug," Morgenthaler said.
Although the study found an association between Ambien use and falls, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Forwards Charlie Miller and Ismaila Jome teamed up to create both goals in a 2-1 win over visiting Penn on Sunday afternoon, culminating in a double-overtime winner off the head of Miller that snapped a two-match losing streak for the Gauchos.
The game-winning goal came in the 104th minute, when senior defender Peter Schmetz played a ball down the left wing for Jome. The freshman forward took a single touch before sending a cross to the far post, where a pair of Gauchos were waiting in the box. Miller launced himself at the cross, redirecting the ball just inside the left post for the golden goal.
UCSB improved to 3-2 after defeating the Quakers, who fell to 2-2 with the loss.
Miller and Jome were responsible for the match's opening goal as well in a play remarkably similar to the eventual game-winner. Moving down the left wing in the 76th minute, Jome found Miller at the far post with a cross. Miller connected with the cross, sending the ball to the near post, where junior midfielder Adis Islamovic was waiting to tap it in.
Just two minutes later, Penn's Stephen Baker stole the Gaucho's momentum by curling a shot from the top of the box inside the left post to knot the match at 1-1, ultimately setting the stage for Miller's heroics.
"The takeaway for me was that we continued to battle and get a result we needed even after we gave up that tying goal," said head coach Tim Vom Steeg. "Sunday games are always difficult, so we're grateful that we could have Charlie come off the bench and do what he did."
The match might have ended much earlier if not for a highlight save from each keeper.
In the 65th minute, Quakers forward Sam Hayward intercepted a pass and took off on a breakaway. UCSB keeper Josh McNeely came out to challenge the attacker, and slid to knock the ball out of Hayward's reach and deny the Penn scoring opportunity.
McNeely ended the day with six saves, the most by a UCSB keeper in a match so far this season. He imporoved his personal record to 2-1 with the win.
Penn keeper Tyler Kinn extended the overtime period in the 95th minute with a spectacular save of his own. Senior forward Achille Campion was able to make solid contact on a header off a UCSB corner kick, sending it just inside the post. However, Kinn sprawled out and just got his right glove on the ball before it was able to cross the goal line.
The Gauchos will continue their seven-match homestand on Friday when they host another Ivy League institition in Yale. Tickets for that match are available here.

1/2 cup of olive oil
2 lemons, juiced
1/2 cup of white wine (optional)
6 cloves of garlic
10 sprigs of thyme
1 tablespoon of sea salt
1/2 tablespoon of cracked pepper
Place chicken breasts in a baking dish. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, white wine and garlic. Place thyme sprigs on top of the chicken breasts. Pour mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the breasts. Cover and marinate for 1 hour or more, if you have the time.
Bake chicken covered in foil at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Remove from the oven, let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Chicken breasts in my baking dish. Notice the mini bottle of white wine - I've been buying them to use in my cooking because we never have a bottle of white around the house.
Juicing the lemons, seeds? What seeds?
I like to pour the marinate over, then season. If I season them first, then the marinade just washes it away.
Ready to go into the fridge for an hour - if you have the time. If not, just go ahead and put them in the oven.
Put the chicken under the broiler for 2-3 minutes if they skin has not browned enough.
This is perfect - I love how the lemons get roasted, too.
I served them with mashed potatoes and drizzled the sauce over. Be sure to squeeze a little bit of the roasted lemon over, too - it has an amazing flavor after cooking in those garlicy juices.

De La Rosa starts Tuesday; Helton sits tonight
SAN FRANCISCO – As expected, lefty Jorge De La Rosa will start Tuesday's game against the Mets back at Coors Field. Monday's off day gives Jim Tracy the luxury of not having to find a fifth starter.
Eventually, Tracy will have to make a decision on a starter for next Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, but he doesn't have to go there just yet.
That pitcher definitely won't be opening-day starter Aaron Cook. Though the right-hander is making progress with his sore shoulder, he won't be ready in a week's time.
"Aaron won't be ready, but we are very hopeful we'll have him back further into September," Tracy said.
Some tidbits for tonight's game:
* Todd Helton takes a seat tonight in a planned off day. Helton is fine, even though he got shook up making his brilliant fielding play Friday night, but Tracy said he's been trying to find time off for Helton for quite some time. Given tonight off, coupled with Monday's off day, Helton can rest up for the September run.
* Carlos Gonzalez's bruised left thumb looks much better today. The swelling is down and he's able to grip a bat. He'll take batting practice to test it out, but it's very unlikely he will play tonight, unless it's as a pinch runner. Sunday looks doubtful, too.
* Troy Tulowitzki hits third, with Garrett Atkins batting cleanup. Atkins, however, is hitting just .182 (4-for-22) vs. Giants starter Barry Zito.
Here are the lineups for tonight's game as the Rockies try to fend off the Giants in the wild-card race and avoid their first four-game losing streak under Tracy.

Mountain Rose Cafe in Winter Park slings a top-notch veggie burger
We were taking our youngest daughter to summer sleepover camp near Granby, and we were so hungry we were grunting to one another, so we stopped in downtown Winter Park. We wanted someplace that had vegetarian options. The Indian place was closed, the Mexican joint and the cafes we checked-out were too expensive, and the hot-dog shop was out of its veggie dogs. We gave up and kept heading north, grunting like gorillas. Just before we left the town we saw Mountain Rose Cafe, and I yanked the car into the gravel parking lot, fingers crossed. It looked kind of hippie.
The first item on the menu, a housemade veggie burger, with three kinds of nuts, tahini, and other good stuff. They came with a pile of crisp lettuce, sliced red onion, nearly slabs of fresh tomato. The whole-wheat buns could use a little work – too stiff, too tall yet also too small in diameter. If the joint had used better buns, I'd give the veggie burger something like a 9 in the veggie-burger category. But the bun knocks it down to an 8.
Thanks, Mountain Rose Cafe for being kind of hippie.

Athletes warned not to wear big country logos to Sochiadmin | 苏州美甲
17 Aug 2019
Britain has joined the United States in cautioning athletes and officials against wearing "overtly branded" clothing en route to Sochi where the athletes' village opens on Thursday.
Security at the Winter Games is expected to be tight with the potential threat of an attack on Sochi, which lies on the western edge of the mainly Muslim North Caucasus, scene of an insurgency aiming to create an Islamist state.
A spokeswoman for the British Olympic Association (BOA) said its 56 athletes and 64 officials were advised to travel in items from their 111-piece team kit with small, discrete logos.
"While we have not received any information or advice suggesting an increase in the threat level, we are taking a common-sense approach in recommending that team members wear less overtly branded Team GB kit during their journey to Sochi," the BOA spokeswoman said.
"This advice is similar to guidance being offered to other delegations by their respective National Olympic Committees."
Concern about potential attacks on the February 7-23 Games has heightened in the wake of twin suicide bombings last month in the city of Volgograd, about 700 km (400 miles) northeast of Sochi, which killed 34 people.
British officials have warned that further attacks were likely and could take place anywhere in Russia.
The U.S. Olympic Committee, which is sending the largest team to Sochi, with 230 athletes, issued a travel memo advising against wearing conspicuous Team USA gear outside the secure Olympic compound, such as the red, white, and blue cardigan with stars and stripes designed by Ralph Lauren.
"The U.S. Department of State has advised that wearing conspicuous Team USA clothing in non-accredited areas may put your personal safety at greater risk," said the memo, widely reported in the U.S. media.
Officials caution athletes about safety at every Olympics but the BOA spokeswoman could not recall previous cautions about not wearing branded team kit.
Countries competing at Sochi are taking various measures to ensure the safety of their athletes and spectators.
While France's delegation has not received cautions over kit, its 116 athletes will receive extra protection at Sochi from French national police and gendarmerie special operations units, sports minister Valerie Fourneyron said on Thursday.
This comes on top of the 37,000 personnel on combat alert deployed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"We have done some preparatory work with our experts and everything has been done to make sure our athletes and fans are safe," Fourneyron told daily Le Parisien. "There will be maximal vigilance."
About 6,000 athletes, coaches and officials from around 90 countries will take part in events at Sochi ranging from Alpine skiing to ice hockey and snowboarding.

Black Star Oscar Predictions
In fact, the only acting category up for grabs is the Best Supporting Actor, where early favorite Eddie Murphy's lead over Alan Arkin evaporated because the voting hadn't officially closed by the time that Norbit opened.
Unless the Academy tosses a couple of curve balls, this ought to be the easiest year in memory to predict the outcome of The Oscars.
Afterall, Dreamgirls not even landed nominations for Best Picture. Best Director or Best Script Adaptation has paved the way for perennial also-ran Martin Scorcese and The Departed as virtual shoo-ins in those three categories.
Similarly, Helen Mirren was lucky that Jennifer Hudson was nominated as a Supporting Actress, while Forest Whitaker was equally fortunate that Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for Blood Diamond instead of The Departed. In fact, the only acting category up for grabs is the Best Supporting Actor, where early favorite Eddie Murphy's lead over Alan Arkin evaporated because the voting hadn't officially closed by the time that Norbit opened.
With so little mystery in store among the major awards, what little tension there is on Oscar night will revolve around the lesser categories and which film will take home the most gilded statuettes. Given the intense competition, none is likely to win more than The Departed, which will garner at least three, probably four, in this prognosticator's humble opinion.
Regardless, here are not only my picks to win, but my designation of the most deserving nominees, and which pictures and performances were overlooked entirely by Oscar.
Best Picture: Will Win: The Departed. Deserves to Win: The Queen
Snubbed: Dreamgirls, Thank You for Smoking, The Good Shepherd.
Best Director: Will Win: Martin Scorcese (The Departed). Deserves to Win: Stephen Frears (The Queen). Snubbed: Bill Condon (Dreamgirls).
Best Actor: Will Win: Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland).
Deserves to Win: Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland). Snubbed: Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed).
Best Actress: Will Win: Helen Mirren (The Queen). Deserves to Win: Helen Mirren (The Queen). Snubbed: Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls).
Best Supporting Actor: Will Win: Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine). Deserves to Win: Eddie Murphy (Dreamgirls). Snubbed: Michael Sheen (The Queen), Jack Nicholson (The Departed).
Best Supporting Actress: Will Win: Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls). Deserves to Win: Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls). Snubbed: Diane Lane (Hollywoodland).
Best Original Screenplay: Will Win: Little Miss Sunshine
Deserves to Win: The Queen. Snubbed: The Good Shepherd.
Best Adapted Screenplay: Will Win: The Departed. Deserves to Win: Notes on a Scandal. Snubbed: Dreamgirls.
Best Foreign Film: Will Win: Pan's Labyrinth: Deserves to Win: Water
Snubbed: District B-13, Lower City, 13 (Tzameti).

Networking Tips
Networking: What Is It?
Simply put, it's reaching out to people with whom you share a connection to learn new information. Sometimes that's about internships and jobs, majors and careers, but sometimes it's about where to find an apartment in a new city—or a great restaurant, or a place to get your hair cut. We are all "networking" all the time!
Your share a connection to Middlebury with 7,500+ alumni career volunteers on MiddNet. They want to hear from you about your career aspirations and challenges. They also want to know what's happening on campus: you've got something to offer them as well. Below are some tips to help you make the most out of these valuable exchanges.
Networking Shortcuts
Check out the 5-Minute Career Clips (online workshops) at the bottom of this page for a brief step-by-step guide to conducting a networking conversation.
Check out these examples of how to write an e-mail introducing yourself to a MiddNet volunteer.
But first, make it count!
Before you make that contact or attend a networking event, be sure
that you are practiced and confident in your networking skills.
Know yourself: your competencies and relevant skills. Know what you want to learn about: which industry or career area interests you.
Why Network? Three Compelling Reasons
1. Most job opportunities (70 percent) are uncovered through networking: More jobs are found this way than through the "want ads," or company websites, or even through online job-listing sites. Although you'll want to use all of these channels in your job search, your time is best invested in networking and developing personal connections through your growing network.
2. Most job hunters don't know enough about the jobs they are pursuing:
Networking to gather this information enables you to better articulate why you are a good "fit" for the job—and this makes you a more competitive candidate.
3. Hiring is risky and expensive for employers:
If you are referred to an employer by someone that person knows and trusts, then you are a "safer bet" and a more attractive candidate.
Your Two Goals for Networking
- Gather "insider" career information and advice from people who work
in the career area or company that you've targeted as your interest.
- Gain referrals (connections) to other people who can also provide career advice and information.
Before You Start
- Identify your career-related interests, skills, and values to establish a meaningful discussion with your networks. The list of Core Professional Competencies will help you identify the skills you've developed as a liberal arts student.
- Research industries and companies, using the CCI Career Library.
- Identify appropriate contacts in the industries and/or companies that interest you, using MiddNet, professors, family, friends, etc.
Networking Does Not Mean Asking for a Job!
Networking is an essential part of your job-search strategy, but asking directly for a job is not effective networking. This is true for a number of reasons:
1. To ask directly will likely be off-putting to your contact, who might feel put on the spot. Unless the person knows you, why would she be willing to risk her reputation by referring you to a job lead? On the other hand, nearly everyone is willing to share information and advice with you. Ask for, and learn from, the information and advice offered you—and if the contact is impressed with you and your conversation, and if she does know of a job lead, she may then be inclined to share that lead with you.
2. If you ask directly for a job and if the answer to your question is "no," then the conversation becomes a dead end. This misses the opportunity to create a connection with the person or to gain other referrals to other potential contacts.
3. Limiting your networking connections only to those contacts whom you think may have job leads for you, severely limits the number of connections you can make and hampers your ability to gain important information and advice about the industry, field, or company that you are researching.
Remember, letting people know that you are looking for a job is not the same as asking them for a job!
Step-by-Step Guides for "How to Network"
To network effectively, you'll need to be prepared and comfortable for both types of networking:
The Informal Networking Conversation happens in any social setting (family gatherings, weddings, college events, etc.) or any professional gathering (networking events, conferences, meetings, etc.) where you might be asked the question, "What do you do?" or "What kind of work do you want to do?" For these informal situations, be ready with your prepared "Elevator Speech." Don't leave home without it!
The planned Networking Interview is a scheduled, brief conversation (by phone or in person) that you have requested of someone, in which you ask prepared questions in order to gather information about the person's career field, industry, job, or company.

Primary documents are often the key to breaking down many brick walls. They can also raise more questions then answers for the inquiring mind. Being sure that one understands the historical context of the document will be the solution for many of these questions.
For example during my own research into the life of Cadwallader Jones, there is a primary document which records the following:
"This indenture made the (blank) in the year of our Lord according to the computation used in England One thousand six hundred Eighty & one and in the year of the Reign of or:Soveraigne Lord Charles the second &c. the three and thirtieth..."
[ (Old) Rappahannock County Deed Book 1682-1686 pp. 6-10 ]
Okay I thought, the date was blank but the year was given 1681, and the document was recorded to be in the 33 year of the reign of Charles II. What? My previous research into the JONES surname had recorded that Charles II only reigned for 24 years [1661-1685]. How could this be the 33rd year of his reign? [The following table shows the results of my study on the JONES surname for English Monarchs. Data was obtained from Pinnock's History of England, first published 1856.]
There you go I thought...it is often the one writing the history that gets to pick the dates. Choose wisely.

All long time wow players have heard the arguments playing WoW from the Anti-MMO community. We have all heard about the jobs lost, the relationships ruined, and all sorts of problems caused by playing MMO's.
Over the past week or so there is a new player in this debate. Enter Muckbeast. His blog is here if you want to take a look at it. His primary focus seems to be the gaming industry as a whole but he has written a couple of anti-mmo articles with titles like "Raiding Provides a False, Deceptive Sense of Real Accomplishment" and "Fed up! Raiding sucks as a sole form of end game content." He has tried to promote these articles by posting comments on quite a few blogs and edited the WoWwiki page on Raids (It has since been removed by the WoWWiki folks). Also, he has not posted a comment on my blog as far as I know.
Normally I don't pay a lot of attention to this sort of stuff but after seeing this guy pop up in several places on the internet I wanted to comment on it. My opinion on this topic is fairly simple. Is it the game's/activities fault or is it the participants fault?
First off, why are video games worse then other activities? What about the guy that goes out and plays rec football 4 or 5 nights a week and watches games on TV all weekend? Is he not ignoring his family also? What about the parent that dedicates all of their time to their professional lives ignoring their spouse and kids? Why is that more acceptable in society?
The fact of the matter is that they all share the same problem. Life is about balance, and if you push it off balance it's going to cause problems no matter what pushed it off balance. I am not an expert but it is likely that these people with obsessive behavior would focus their attention on another subject if their current interest wasn't available. So why is it raiding's fault?
On the flip side, Muckbeast ignores all of the positive things that can and have happened because of MMO's. I have heard multiple stories, both online and from people in game, about how WoW has brought their family closer together. I know parents that have gotten to spend more time with their kids because they are able to play the game together. I know of one girl who uses her WoW time spend some time with her brother who is serving in the military in Iraq right now. I know of many married couples that play the game together. Sure, all of these people could have found another way to attain all of these goals, but if they like WoW, why do they have to?
My basic point is you shouldn't blame the MMO or an activity for a person's problems. The MMO may highlight or exagerate a person's problem, but it doesn't create the problem. So if you want to fix the problem, go to the person, not the game.
Reactions from other Bloggers:

I agree completely with what your saying I get made fun of and just generally not liked because I play MMO's people just dont seem to see that I have made good LIFE LONG friends from MMOs and I love them and people seem to think just because you are across the internet you cannot have feelings for people but I can say yes you do and I have met people that are closer to me than any others on the internet and I could never imagine loosing them. Please excuse the spelling Errors :)

For 2 weeks vacation! I was going to try to find a picture of a sunbather, lazying about on a beach, with a drink in bed, and pretend it was me, but honestly I'm too tired. Why is it when you're about to start a vacation, that you get dumped with work? Combine that house renovations, inside and out, and trying to organize my new sewing room, which has really been neglected and I am definitely ready to head out of here tomorrow!
Hubby and I did manage to get our kitchen ready last night however as our new kitchen appliances arrive today - new fridge, stove, microwave and dishwasher! No more cursing the size of my fridge (and of course now the family has downsized) and no more whining about the dirty dishes coming out of the dishwasher. And wouldn't you know, I won't get to enjoy them as I'll be washing dishes at the cottage for the next 2 weeks! May be I'll buy paper plates, the kind we can put in the compost bin.
And of course I did manage to pack my stitching bag :-D I haven't packed my clothes yet, in fact I still have to do laundry! Yes, I am a true stitcher!
And here is Glenna's RR, all finished and in fact in the mail, winging its way on to Carissa, early as I won't be back until after August 1st, and I didn't want to send it off late.
Have a wonderful couple of weeks and 'see' you all when I get back!

And we're off!

Dill PIckle Green?
There are just too many to choose from! I went to pick out green colour paint chips to choose a green paint for my new sewing room...and I can't pick one! There just isn't quite the right colour that I want for my room. And oh vey, the names on these colours, where do they come up with them? I think I really prefer the names they assign to our lovely silks and even the numbering of good ol' DMC. Yes there is even one called 'Dill Pickle' and as much as I love nothing better than a good crunchy dill pickle, I don't really think I want to paint my room that colour.
So far, I'm leaning towards Hancock Green and Van Alen Green, although the Italian Ice Green is nice, but a little light. I wonder if I should pull out some of my floss and get the paint people to computer colour match one of those?
I added a link on my sidebar to the Prairie Schooler Wreath SAL started up by Tanya, designer of The Sampler Girl. We're starting on July 23 and there's lots of room for whoever wants to join us!

PIF from Rachel
Look what the mailman brought:
Rachel sent this to me for her PIF gift! And it is spectacular!!! What a fantastic gift lovingly stitching with 'Amitie' in honour of friendship. Rachel, I am so thrilled with this beautiful little pillow and I was so delighted to open up the package and marvel at your amazing one-over stitching. Purple is one of my favourite colours, something that I don't indulge in very often, so that makes it something even more cherished. Thank you, dear friend!!!
I didn't get a chance to get a picture of this on the blog earlier....it was a busy weekend as we got Carrie and J-F moved on Saturday into their new apartment. Then Saturday night, hubby and I got down to business of organizing some of the empty space (gasp!) in our house. I have an empty bedroom that I am going to use for a sewing room. I haven't moved too much into there yet, although my desk and sewing machine have taken up residence, as I think I will repaint and I'm undecided over colours of green....there are just too many. I really lucked out early Saturday morning. We went to some garage sales before the moving truck arrived and I found a a white chest of drawers from Ikea for only $30. It will hold (or ahem, hide) a ton of my stitching goodies. Now I'm shopping on Craig's list for some white bookcases that I can use for storage in the closet. I thought this would be a little easier on my non existent budget than a closet organizer. And hubby is happily unpacking his computer(s) that he has sorely missed since he packed up his office for Kristy. He has taken over the basement finished rec room which will become his den/office/cave.
Here are some moving out pics. I forgot to take the camera to the new apartment which is really cute, its a 2-bedroom in a 5-plex building, built in the 1950's, so very roomy with large bright airy windows. Its only a 10-minute walk to the hospital where Carrie works. There are 2 entrances to the apartment, a main entrance and back fire escape, chicken Mum however decided she didn't like the fire escape however and will stick to the main entrance!

I'm in love!
I'm in love......with my new Dazor lamp! And it was well worth the wait. I bought it from an Ebay shop and had it mailed to Kelly (always wanting to save those few $$) and she brought it home with her when she came back for her visit. Lucky I did, man it was a heavy box! Its the Dazor task table lamp with the magnifier and wow, is it sweet! Its perfect for stitching on the 40 ct fabrics, the light is great and the magnification is amazing. Best of it, it adjusts like magic to wherever I want it! I'm back in business!!
Of course I thought I would be ripping through the Houses of Hawk Run Hollow now......but I forgot how many stitches there are each and every one of these blocks! Each block in itself is a huge accomplishment. So I'm back to just enjoying the stitching itself and the somewhat strange colour combinations, especially since I'm using the DMC, and not the NPI silks. I have swapped a couple out when I thought they were a little too freaky for even my taste.
And I have a start on Glenna's Neighbour RR:
I left the top of Glenna's house peeking out from the bottom. There will be a fence, trees, grass and hopefully some room for some potted plants in my area still to come!
Thank you for the comments on Joanie's pincushion bag! I wish I could take credit for the pattern but no, it was a pattern that I used for it, that I had picked up at a local quilt shop. If anyone is interested in trying their hand at it, let me know and I can pass along the info.
I'm so excited that Kathy (Kathy's Sit and Stitch) asked me to join her and a couple of other bloggers in a Paradigm Lost SAL starting later this fall. So my startitis will have to wait until then. Meanwhile may be I can work on some of my WIP's or may be even a poor UFO or two....or may be I can start something small ;-D

My Birthday Exchange received
Joanie (Joanie's World) let me know that she received the birthday present I had sent to her for her birthday on June 24th. I was relieved to know she liked it. I made her a pincushion bag and a matching scissor fob (Prairie Schooler Birdsong I) and sent along a pair of scissors to go along with it. The pincushion bag is quite sweet and was fun to make. Its made in the style of a drawstring purse (like a bourse) and opens up to reveal a pincushion in the centre, with lots of pockets to hold all the stitching gadgets and goodies that we might need. I'll definitely have to make another one of these!
We had a wonderful....though chilly....5 days at the cottage over the Canada Day weekend. I haven't had a chance to catch up with any blog reading but I'll leave you with a couple of pictures!
Kelly and Chris at the campfire.
Nick and Sam.
Kristy and Miss Maisie.
And a final one of hubby and me!

The memory of a town remains
In Galicia, out there somewhere
Podwolocyska was what they called it
Modest and decent people lived there.
Educated humble innocent folks
Passed the time without worry
They had no special problems or demands
They went about their lives peacefully.
Without hesitation they began their day
All was quiet and peaceful inside and out
Regular folks, studying and working
Understanding what it was all about
There were rich people who lived comfortably
There were poor people, a meager living they eked out
There were silly people, there were strange ones
But - heaven forbid - no criminals or cads
The town was blessed with tranquility and brotherhood
With but a trace of jealousy, with real camaraderie
People born with feelings of empathy
Thinking of others, helping the needy
Parties were not rare in the town
And everyone was invited
And if, heaven forbid, adversity struck
Everyone stood firm to fight it.
With sincere heartfelt sympathy
People always considered the fate of others
There was no mudslinging
They treated each other like brothers
In Podwolocyska there were no castles
But memory will for generations note
The picture of small, low houses
Winding paths and unpaved roads
There were also gardens with flowers blooming
There was a well with water so clear
There was also an avenue with few trees
And a boardwalk, luring the residents here
There was society, a Zionist club
Worked well and quite logically
There were idealists and political parties
But we knew not of rivalry
There were lectures and lessons worthy of mention
With a speaker's voice loud and bold
Money was donated freely
The Land of Israel a sublime goal.
There was also a rabbi in the town
He solved all religious problems
Each argument was treated respectfully
With strength of faith everyone trusted him
The town had also another asset
A busy train station
Each day the engine puffed heavily
And each day the tired people reached their destination
Even though each person had their troubles
They knew to forget them, and to have fun
They knew how to sing and to dance
Life was beautiful for the young
In short, my friends, all was in order
Until Hitler came to our border
Without empathy or sympathy, with cruelty and murder
He destroyed Podwolocyska forever
I will not elaborate about those thugs
Who extinguished every soul, murdered every body.
And of the Jewish town that once was there
Remain only the tombstones in the cemetery.
Dedicated to the Podwolocyska Book

I wanted to share this darling idea for all those Valentine's cards that students get from their classmates and end up going up in a paper bag or a decorated box...and eventually end up in the trash can. Instead, have students create a Valentine's Day scrapbook. I've created directions (easy!) for you or a parent volunteer to pre-assemble the scrapbooks, grade level labels for the cover, a heart template and video (below) to show it to you live. You can also catch a glimpe of students taping and putting their scrapbooks together from a Valentine's party several years ago in my first grade classroom. Grab everything (but the construction paper) to get this ready for Valentine's Day HERE.
Here's a Smilebox I made of our Valentine's Day party one year. You can see the kids assembling the scrapbooks at the party.

Michael Douglas says he was not initially sure that Shia LaBeouf could carry "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," in the same way that Charlie Sheen did in the original film.
"Shia, honestly, we were all not sure about whether he had the chops," Michael Douglas told Access Hollywood's Tim Vincent on Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival.
"As you remember from the first, Charlie Sheen carried the movie, Gordon Gekko had very colorful parts, but it was not every scene," Michael continued, adding that his 23-year-old co-star nailed the role. "He knocked it out of the park. I'm so proud of him, he just kicked butt."
Michael said "the timing was right" to revisit the story and characters, which he first helped create in 1987.
"It's an interesting time, sort of 22 years later, Gekko going to jail. [He] comes out, no money, can't trade, what happens?" he said.
Shia has said that starring in the "Wall Street" sequel got him hooked on investing and trading, but Michael said he's not looking to play the stocks.
"I stayed so far away from all of that stuff," Michael explained. "My character doesn't enter into that world, so that was the perfect excuse for me not to care because it's not my world."
"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" hits theaters on September 24, 2010

BOSTON, Mass.—Behind two points from senior Kathryn Picarello and a dominant time of possession, St. Anselm College (15-4-4, 10-2-4 ECAC East) skated by UMass Bsoton (8-11-4, 5-7-4) Monday evening at the Clark Athletic Center.
Picarello scored the first goal of the game and tacked on the only assist on the game-winner, to help St. Anselm College earn the season-sweep over the Beacons. Tiffany Herron and Sarah Geisinger tacked on goals for St. Anselm, who moved to 9-0-2 on the road this season.
Sophomore Emily Howard (Terryville, Conn.) picked up the Beacons lone goal midway through the third but it would be all UMB could muster. Linemate Emily LaRosa (Weymouth, Mass.) and Alyssa Sullivan (Medford, Mass.) picked up assists on the power-play goal.
First-year goaltender Casey Schaejbe (Arlington, Mass.) made 25 stops on 28 shots, including 13 saves on 14 shots in the first stanza.
Junior netminder Lindsey Brown moved to 9-2-2 with the win by making 19 saves on 20 shots. The Mounds View, Minnesota native stopped the first 16 shots she saw, before giving up Howard's goal with less seven minutes remaining.
St. Anselm College outshot UMass Boston 28-20 for the game. The Beacons held the edge on special teams though, as UMB finished 1-for-4, while killing off all three of the Hawks power-play opportunities.
Picarello put the Hawks ahead 1-0 at the 16:19 mark of the first, when she found the puck in the middle of a scrum and poked it through Schaejbe's five-hole. Rosemarie Giarrusso and Franny Nicholson picked up assists on the play.
Midway through the second period St. Anselm made it 2-0, when Geisinger sent a puck off the back of a Beacons defender's skate, that bounced back towards the net and through Schaejbe's five-hole. Both of the Hawks first two goals occurred within six seconds of a power-play ending, with UMB stuck out on the ice with tired skaters.
St. Anselm took a commanding 3-0 lead 1:07 into the third period, when Herron grabbed a rebound and rocketed a shot top corner over Schaejbe's shoulder. Alex Kazmer and Courtney Winters were awarded assists on the play.
UMass Boston got on the board at the 13:16 mark, when Howard started with the puck on the far boards, and skated in around a defender and slipped the puck through Brown's pads to make it 3-1.
The Beacons could only muster two shots the rest of the way and St. Anselm controlled the puck for much of the final 6:44.
UMass Boston will continue their season-ending three-game homestand, when they host the University of Southern Maine Friday night at 4 p.m. for their annual "Pink The Rink" game.

But the really good news is that Lambeth does have a new library (or at least one that has been given a new lease of life). And guess what? Lambeth Council is trying to close it down. Why are there no headlines? Why no outraged Daily Mail readers? Well, presumably because, like the transport network is at times subject to "the wrong kind of snow", Lambeth Council is now subject "to the wrong kind of library".
According to an article in The Evening Standard (that liberal bastion of merry goodness), about the Library House's occupants,
"Lambeth council had most recently been using it to provide social housing but it had been vacated for renovations.
Yet construction work has not been able to get under way and the squatters have refused repeated pleas to leave during the last six months. The council now faces a legal battle to obtain a court eviction order."
There's a quote by one of the occupants (Simon), who apparently said:
"When we arrived, it was in a real mess. We cleaned up the garden and fixed all the rooms. There were squatters here before us who sold drugs. We are not interested in any of that. We do live an alternative lifestyle, but all we want to do here is something for the community."
Well, how fabulous! I applaud the efforts of all squatters and other anarchist-y types who are attempting to work for the common good, or create that most elusive concept, "community". I think it's really good news that they're offering classes in everything from "Squatting" to "Spanish". And all of that, for no charge at all. Lambeth Council should be encourage such initiatives! It's hardly like they're going to get any money to put all of their empty buildings to good use.
I confess I've not yet visited them because whilst my soul is that of an anarchist, community forming, hippy squatter, my upbringing is one that almost entirely precluded such an anti-establishment option. I think I'm secretly afraid of getting beaten up for sustaining capitalism by doing an ordinary job in a corporate firm. One of these days I might just run away and join one of these self-sustaining anarchist communities. It's so damned tempting. In the meantime, I want the option open to me, so I'm going to unabashedly promote their activites. On Sunday 22nd (this weekend), they're going to be running a Free School. See here for more details.
I've been subscribed to their blog, The Library House, for sometime now and I think they deserve some good publicity. Billed as being in Camberwell, they are actually kind of in no (wo)mans land between Brixton, Camberwell and Stockwell, but it's definitely possible to walk/bus from SE11.
Oh, and I forgot... within the next weeks I'm going to be doing an exposé of some of the Lambeth Council properties in my locality that are currently boarded up because /that/ should act as a good answer to the commentators on the Library House who think that deserving people require housing. Yes, they do, and Lambeth Council doesn't seem to be doing much about it.
