Discussion in 'General Parenting' started by compassion, Jan 18, 2009.
In my research of what works with conduct disorders, this came up. Any thoughts?
I'm not sure I've heard of this (which is not a positive or negative, just a fact). Can you tell us a little more about it or provide a link that gives more info?
I know what it is. It drove me nuts and I went to court to have the order for it removed. However, that is becuase in difficult child's case, it was supposed to replace his other mental health treatment and he had just rec'd a diagnosis of bipolar and CD was ruled out . (That doesn't mean my son doesn't have conduct issues.). Plus, it was quite time-consuming and at my son's age (he was 12yo at the time), I needed to be working, helping him with his homework, etc.
In your case, I honestly think this might be a great thing for you and your daughter. They will assin a person that they call a therapist (that's somewhat of a stretch although it will probably be a sw) who will come to your home 2-3 times a week. That person will also meet with anyone else at places your daughter attends regularly- as in school. They will discourage any other therapist in her life. They will write a plan (ie a behavioral contract) to be followed by her and enforced by you and sd. They will include requirements specified for recreation, time with friends, etc. They will allow for things like church if your family attends. Rewards and consequences are written out and must be followed or YOU are found non-compliant, if the court ordered it.
Basicly, it is the strict behavior modification. It is known to be effective for Conduct Disorder. It can be an issue with BiPolar (BP), however, if the difficult child is not stabilized and still has manic or major depressive periods, as many of us here know. No contract will help my difficult child when he isn't stable- it will boil down to "when/if nothing in the contract works, then he is not compliant so call 911", which puts us right back where we started. But, in your case, it sounds like it could take a lot of what you are personally doing off your shoulders and put some of this responsibility on a cm and your daughter.
It typically lasts from 4 to 8 months. The person (cm) assigned will be talking to you on the phone and available to you in between those home visits.
Here is the description of MST on my county's website. Based on my research, this is typical. Don't let anyone fool you (like they did me here in the courts), there are other types of in-home therapy.
Part of my problem with it was the personality of the guy we got. He said we would discuss our goals, then came over with a list of goals written out for us. Mind you, I was not ordered to do therapy and I wasn't too fond of him deciding my therapeutic goals. His goal was for difficult child to get off probation and the behavioral contract had to be successfully in order to meet the goal. My goal was for difficult child to get stabilized on mood stabilizers. We didn't hit it off too well. LOL! But, given your situation, a lot of my frustrations would not apply to you and your daughter.

Recognition with characters is often an intangible asset for any film in any industry. This is perhaps why there is an odd charm to coming-of-age films, even the not-so-good ones. We see ourselves in these characters, misfits or outcasts as they may be and even as we may rue the characters they may be, we root for them to emerge all grown up by the end of it all. Whether it be The Breakfast Club, Almost Famous or the more recent, The Spectacular Now, the genre has more often than not stuck to this template of characterization (Although, Rushmore was a wonderful exception). Sundance favourite 'Me and Earl and The Dying Girl' is one of the former, which remains its witty and charming self despite the obvious influences that drive the film.
Me and Earl and The Dying Girl (Hereinafter called as METDG, for the sake of brevity) is the story of a Greg Gaines, a non-conformist senior at High School, who has problems with identification and making friends. The closest person he has to one is Earl, a friend co-worker who is Greg's partner in producing low-budget short films. Enter Rachel; a once-childhood friend of Greg's who is now diagnosed with Leukemia. Thus follows, is a story of doomed friendship complete with crazy shorts, pillow-talk and a great bit of wit and charm.
WOOS: I know what many of you must be thinking. The Fault in Our Stars, right? No. Other than the diagnosis of one of its protagonists, and the coming-of-age parallel which is consistent with every other film, METDG is not The Fault in Our Stars. Whereas that John Green adaptation was schmaltzy and sappy (Not without its merits though), METDG chooses a much funnier, and a lighter vein to reflect its own views on adolescence, friendship and death. It has heart, oodles of it and is undeniably fresh to look at; whether it is the stop-motion animation or the sheer visual aesthetic that seems to channel the great Wes Anderson, METDG brings some distinct originality and flavour to the genre.
METDG would also find a lot of admirers in film-geeks like me. From the Criterion collection of films Greg and Earl keep, to the shorts that are undeniably hilarious spoofs of the same, the influences of cinema's best are hard to miss. Director Rejon used to work with Scorcese, and the same is reflected in much of the film. But, there is also Herzog, Polanski, Lumet, Kurosawa and Kubrick, among others to Rejon's film. Clearly, this is a guy who has been to film school.
The acting additionally, is top-notch. Not only from the titular trio of Mann, Cyler and Cooke who have some great scenes together but, also from the great, quirksome supporting cast that includes Nick Offerman and Jon Bernthal. Someone must really give that casting director a pat on the back. Oh, and Olivia Cooke is really pretty.
MEHS: The winner of Sundance's grand jury prize doesn't come without its own faults though. Well-intended as it may be, the emotive range of the film never quite reaches the depths as it was meant to. Like its protagonist who uses humour to cover his emotional insecurities, METDG uses its charm to skip over how shallow it sometimes sounds. It never quite fully realizes the fresh voice it wanted to find, which is a shame actually.
Another issue with the film is the many influences that drive this little film. There is nothing particularly wrong with having cinema's biggest influences inspire most of the film but, there is a fine line between homage and obsessive listing. Often, METDG comes off as the latter. There are Anderson's aesthetic, and there are Cronenberg's psychedelics but, there arises a distinct inconsistency when such different styles come together.
VERDICT: Me and Earl and The Dying Girl is not perfect by any means, not by a long shot. But, it has a rare streak of wit, charm and brief thoughtfulness that should be made time for. Watch this film. You may not watch it another time but, you'll probably be glad you saw it the first time.
I give it a 3/5.

Adoration is an understated word when describing my feelings for this guest. Our family has had the distinct pleasure of knowing Luke Robertson for much of his illustrious life. Evidence of that statement is shown here in one of my favorite photos. Luke is, um, "watching" Son #3…definitely an action shot.
Currently, Luke resides in Los Angeles, California, where he is Professor Bookman. He runs extraordinarily successful book clubs, consults for an independent children's bookstore, and shares life with his equally amazing wife Sarah, their cats and a dog.
I am honored to begin featuring him here monthly on TommyMom!
You can find Luke at www.professorbookmans.com, where he offers a plethora of information and ideas regarding literature, children and blending the two successfully. He also has a Facebook page by the same name. Please take yourselves off of "Mute" and make Luke feel welcome here in our community by commenting with specific questions or topics you would like him to discuss. Luke welcomes your input and feels that troubleshooting is one of his best qualities!
Today, Amazon.com announced that their e-book sales are greater than their paperback and hardcover book sales combined. Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO, remarked, "We had high hopes that this would happen eventually, but we never imagined it would happen this quickly…". E-book (a.k.a. "electronic" or "digital book") technology is making enormous leaps forward, the results of which are dramatically changing the entire book industry. From publishing, to sales, to the very way we experience reading, this technology is revolutionizing the world of literature. The success of the e-book and the many e-book reading devices (such as the Kindle, the iPad, the NOOK, etc.) should come as no surprise to consumers; e-book technology offers them unrivaled convenience and ease shopping for books. Readers can now keep thousands of books in the palm of their hand; they can buy e-book versions of the latest books at considerably lower prices than print versions; they can even receive newly purchased books within 60 seconds and they can make these purchases from all over the world. While e-books are netting companies like Amazon.com billions of dollars through millions of sales, the costs of this phenomenon can be seen right in our own communities…
As news of the latest and greatest e-book innovations are making headlines, related news regarding our local bookstores, schools, and libraries are lucky to make the front page. In the past few years, Los Angeles has seen the closing of multiple independent bookstores, an epidemic that has recently spread to the larger chain bookstores as well. This fact, coupled with the major cutbacks to the public libraries and school libraries around the city, has many people questioning whether or not this is just a sign of the times. Undoubtedly, the proliferation of e-books and their online sales has hurt the business of independent bookstores. But maybe it is hurting the way we regard our printed books as well. Perhaps bricks-and-mortar bookstores and libraries are becoming obsolete.
Working in an independent bookstore myself, I am often asked, "With all these e-books and iPads and places like Amazon, how can a bookstore compete? Do you think publishers will actually print books for much longer?" I reply, "Yes. Yes I do. They have to… after all, the fate of the world depends on it." This is usually met with a little laugh or a chuckle, as people do not seem to realize that I am only half-joking. The truth is the vast majority of the population has no idea how powerful and important books really are. Of the few that do, only a handful realizes how powerful and beneficial print books really are, and how detrimental e-books could be to those benefits.
Although there are endless differences between e-books, print books, and the benefits of each, the most important realization people need to make is that e-books are virtual books; they are not actual books. As obvious a distinction as this is the implications may not be quite so obvious. Books are treasures, after all. When you own an actual book, you own a literal treasure. You can keep it wherever you like; you can read it any time you want; you can give it to your children to have or to hold; you can loan it to your friends; you can sell it to strangers; a book can even become an heirloom as time goes by, a family treasure. Books are material possessions and we take a great amount of pride in owning them. We even get emotionally attached to these books in a way that exceeds their material value. My wife Sarah is a perfect example.
One of Sarah's favorite possessions is a 1970 paperback copy of Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson, which used to belong to her mother. The book's pages are yellowed, tape holds the spine together, and its original cost, 95¢, still adorns the torn cover. To this day my wife rereads this book. Yes, she loves the story, but it is the memory of her mother reading the very same book aloud to her that she loves the most.
Connecting with literature on this intimate level is how we learn to treasure books; we have to hold them, we have to see them, and we have to share them. This is why we go to libraries, to connect with the books. This is why we buy books for our children, to teach them to love literature and care for books like the treasures they are. You cannot make this kind of connection with a digital book.
When you purchase an e-book, you virtually own it; you do not actually own it. Buying an e-book is much more like renting or leasing a book in that there are limitations to your ownership. As of now, many of the benefits listed above are not possible (or at least have significant limitations) with e-books. There is just no pride of ownership with e-books, no emotional connection, and no real magic.
There is no doubt that e-books and devices like the iPad are the wave of the future. It is exciting just thinking about the potential this new technology has to offer. But there is no replacement for the family Bible that is passed down through generations, or the signed copy of The Lightning Thief you put in the hands of a child, or your mother's favorite book. Reading a book is an actual experience, not a virtual one. Make sure you realize the difference.

The New Mexico Wildlife Federation emphatically supports establishment of a statewide task force to study the future of trapping in New Mexico, as is being proposed in a memorial currently being drafted by Senator Pete Campos in the State Legislature. Few issues divide the New Mexico outdoor community more than trapping. Bills to ban trapping on public lands have come before the legislature three times in this and recent legislative sessions. Each time, NMWF stands up to say that regulated, ethical trapping is both an important wildlife management tool and a legitimate use of a renewable and sustainable wildlife resource that represents part of our outdoor heritage and tradition. We at NMWF continue to believe that trapping has a place in outdoor recreation, however, we believe that imprudent trapping by ignorant or careless bad actors sets the stage for conflict and horror stories. These give the public a distorted image about trapping that sometimes extend even to hunting in general.
NMWF has for several years pushed the State Game Commission to take significant steps to curb trapping-related conflicts with the non-consumptive public. Areas to explore include the establishment of a mandatory online ethics and best practices course for all trappers, greater setbacks away from high human traffic areas, closing high-conflict areas to trapping, establishing bag limits for bobcats and limiting trapping to residents only. Higher fines for violations could also be on the table; those require legislative action. We believe that forward- thinking regulation and not restrictive legislation can and should address New Mexico's trapping conflicts.
When disagreements this large arise, NMWF believes that opposing sides should attempt to discuss their differences and come up with pragmatic solutions rather than continue to fight it out in the legislative arena. To that end, NMWF, on behalf of more than 80,000 New Mexico sportsmen and women, welcomes the opportunity to help create and participate in a statewide task force to study the look and future of trapping on public lands in New Mexico.

What is the extreme of y=x^2-8x+16?
- print Print
- list Cite
To extreme of a function, whose expression is a quadratic, is the vertex of the parable f(x) = y.
We know that the coordinates of the parabola vertex are:
V(-b/2a;-delta/4a), where a,b,c are the coefficients of the function and delta=b^2 -4*a*c.
y=f(x)=x^2 - 8x + 16
We'll identify the coefficients:
a=1, 2a=2, 4a=4
b=-8, c=16
delta=(-8)^2 -4*1*16
delta =64 - 64
delta = 0
Since the coefficient of x^2 is positive, the extreme point is a minimum point.
Because the x coordinate is positive and y coordinate is 0, the vertex is located on the right side of x axis: V(4;0).
To find the extreme value of y = x^2-8x+16.
y = x^2-8x+16.
We see that the right is a complte square as x^2-8x+16 = (x-4)^2.
Therefore y = (x-4)^2.
Obviously (x-4)^2 , being a perfect square is always positive or > 0.
So (x-4)^2 > 0 , and (x-4) = 0 when x= 4.
Therefore y = 0 is the minimum , when x = 4.

Greetings, Bay Area fans! It's FOGCon time again, and I'm hoping to meet up with a few of you this weekend in Walnut Creek. I'm on two panels, and I'm doing an author reading as well. If all else fails, there's a bar! (Although we are not doing Cosmos again. You know who you are…) Here's my schedule:
Writing Between Genres Salon C Friday 8:oo to 9:15 PM
Moderated by the lovely and talented Madeleine Robins, we will be exploring how to succeed writing cross-genre work. What's a cross-genre work? Perfect example: Cowboys & Aliens. Come talk about that horror-comedy you're writing and how to market it!
Is Editors Necessary? Salon C Saturday 10:30–11:45 am
Led by Jed Hartman, we will be discussing what makes a good editor, and why we all (even editors!) need one. Hopefully, last year's regrettable incident over the Oxford comma will be avoided….
Reading Santa Rosa Room Saturday 1:30 PM
Along with Andrea Blythe, Garrett Matthew Croker, and Susan Hensley, I'll be reading from some of my recent work. Interpretive dance, throat singing and my musical stylings upon the pan flute may or may not be involved.
FOGcon is one of my favorite conventions precisely because it's focused on books more than games, movies, and other entertainment. I love sitting around talking to writers and readers and editors. And then there's the Dealer's Room, where I load up on cool books I would never have otherwise seen. Let's browse! Looks like a lot of fun things going on at the con this weekend. See you there!
Where: Walnut Creek Marriott, 2355 North Main Street · Walnut Creek, California 94596 USA
When: March 10 – 12, 2017

PGA Catalunya (Stadium) - Northern Spain - Spain

17455 Girona,

70 km NE of Barcelona

The Costa Brava is the jewel in the crown of the Eastern Spanish coastline, nestling at the foothills of the Pyrenees and escaping the intense summer heat that burns the more southern parts of Spain. Catalonia (Catalunya), of which the Costa Brava is part, feels at times like a completely different country. The local food is very different - heartier than more southern Spanish fare – and the local Catalonian language has more of a French feel.
A visit to this area of Spain is a must for any golfer as there are a number of excellent courses that all offer thoughtful design in great surroundings. The various designers have created excellent challenges that are usually in superb condition due to the cooler northern climate. The best of these has to be the Stadium (formerly called Green) course at PGA de Catalunya, ranked in Europe's Top 100 ever since it opened at the end of 1998.
The Stadium course is the culmination of more than a decade of planning and design by the European Tour. They wanted to build their own Players Championship course to rival the PGA Tour's Sawgrass course. It has to be said that it was a decade well spent. The PGA is so good that within months of opening, it hosted the 1999 Gene Sarazen World Open and the Spanish Open in 2000. The Spanish Open returned to the Stadium course in 2009 (won by Thomas Levet) and 2014 when veteran Miguel Angel Jiménez extended his own record as the oldest winner in European Tour history winning a three-man play-off.
PGA Catalunya Resort is located 45 minutes north of the wonderful city of Barcelona and only a few kilometres from the regional airport at Girona, although this is never apparent as the course nestles in the Girona mountains just outside the quiet town of Caldes de Malvella. Utilising their combined 25-plus years of European Tour experience, the designers, Angel Gallardo and Neil Coles, have created a wonderful course that is a test for all standards due to the fact that every hole can be played from five different tees. Which is lucky as the course measures more than 6,500 metres from the championship tees.
Once on the first tee, the true majesty of the PGA de Catalunya is immediately apparent with an elevated drive to a dogleg left par four. Trouble waits in front of the tee and only a good, solid shot will provide the ability to reach the green with anything less than a long iron or fairway wood. For the handicap golfer, leaving this green with a bogey must be viewed as an acceptable result. From here on in, the course just gets better and better as it winds its way through the hills. Beautiful green fir trees, lush vegetation, scrub and an abundance of purple heather, frame each hole. The greens are well bunkered, undulating and always in excellent condition. Additionally, there are a number of large lakes on the course, which blend perfectly with the landscape and on some holes, the water is used creatively to form semi-island greens.
There are many "must-see" places in the world and the Stadium course at PGA de Catalunya should be on any serious golfer's "must-play" list. It's an absolute cracker. And their second course, called the Tour, is pretty special too.
In November 2014 the PGA Catalunya Resort was appointed as candidate venue for Spain's bid to host the 2022 Ryder Cup. Spain was one of six countries bidding to stage the tournament – the Stadium Course was originally developed with a view to hosting such a major event. Unfortunately the Catalonian bid was unsuccessful with Italy's capital city of Rome winning the right to stage the 2022 Ryder Cup.
Reviews for PGA Catalunya (Stadium)
I have played here quite a few times now since my first round back in 2010, so this review is a bit of an update. The Stadium course was an instant hit with me nearly seven years ago and remains so now. I would say that it gets a little better each year and in April 2017 was as good as I have seen it. One very slight negative right now, is that there is construction on a major level around and close to the course, including some of the buggy paths but if we are talking, 'just the course' then I can report that all is very well. My favourite holes are still; the 3rd, 4th, 9th and the 13th. For a course with plenty of rounds (especially when compared to more exclusive Spanish courses), the condition is fantastic, bordering on perfection - the greens this time were so fast and true. Of the 40+ Spanish courses that I have played, this remains the very best for me and a real shame this as a Ryder Cup venue in 2022, missed out to the Italian bid.
PGA Catalunya combines top level service with world class facilities. The Hotel resort is great with friendly and helpful staff. The practice facility is one of the best I have come across!
The course itself is very good. The conditionning is on par with what you would expect from tour level courses. The greens are fast and true. The layout did not fit my eye perfectly, but that doesn't mean it is not good. It is a typical ''target golf'' layout, with narrow tree-lined fairways. The green complexes and bunkering place a premium on the ''air game'', with very few holes allowing for run-up approaches. That is not inherently bad, but I believe it limits strategy and enjoyment. The set of par 3's is the highlight of the course, as well as the good elevations changes on many tee shots.
It is a great place for a golf holiday!

Key Races That Could Swing Control of the House
The precarious position the Republican Party finds itself in, with less than three weeks to go, is best illustrated by the growing list of vulnerable House seats the party has to defend. Once thought to be about 25 at most, the list seems to be expanding each day. Conversely, the list of Democratic seats thought to be within reach for the GOP has all but vanished; some are now forecasting the Dems retaining each and every House seat they currently control.
If nothing else, that is the telling sign that this could be a memorable year for congressional Democrats, their best since 1982, when they picked up a net of 26 seats. Reaching that total this year may or may not be somewhat of a stretch. But that doesn't matter; what they are focusing on is getting the 15 seats they need to make Nancy Pelosi the speaker. As of this writing, that goal is certainly within reach.
The following is a list of the House races that bear watching on Nov. 7, with early projections (incumbents in bold). Of course, all ratings are subject to change.

The possibility of the Democrats holding on to all of their House seats would be pretty remarkable. Even in great Democratic years of the past half-century, the party has still not been able to protect all of its seats. For example:
1982 (+26 seats): Dem incumbents defeated: 1 (Bob Shamansky of Ohio); open Dem seats lost: 3.
1974 (+43 seats): Dem incumbents defeated: 4 (Peter Kyros of Maine, Tom Luken of Ohio, Frank Clark of Penn., Frank Denholm of S.D); open Dem seats lost: 2.
1964 (+38 seats): Dem incumbents defeated: 5 (George Grant of Ala., Kenneth Roberts of Ala., George Huddleston of Ala., Ralph Harding of Idaho, J. Arthur Winstead of Miss.); open Dem seats lost: 5.
1958 (+49 seats): Dem incumbents defeated: 1 (Coya Knutson of Minn.); open Dem seats lost: 0.
The last time the Democrats ended Republican control in the House was 1954. That year, they did it with only a net gain of 19 seats. And even then, five Democratic seats were lost, including three incumbents (Robert Condon of Calif., Courtney Campbell of Fla., and Howard Miller of Kans.).
RATINGS UPDATE: Some changes since the last column.
Ohio: Moves from Tossup to LEANS DEMOCRATIC.
Montana: Moves from Tossup to LEANS DEMOCRATIC.
Tennessee: Moves from Leans Republican to TOSSUP.
Virginia Moves from Leans Republican to TOSSUP.
Michigan: Moves from Tossup to LEANS DEMOCRATIC.
Minnesota: Moves from Leans Republican to TOSSUP.
Meanwhile, a big response to the Oct. 4 column about the Mark Foley scandal. Forest Frost of Montrose, Colo., writes, "Am I the only one that sees the irony in the Mark Foley scandal? In 2004, Democrats tried to push topics like the war in Iraq and national security, while the Republicans were successful in making the election about, as Jon Stewart says, 'boys kissing.' Now that the Republicans have their own 'boys kissing' scandal, I hear party pundits lament that it's a shame we are talking about this instead of important issues like the war in Iraq and national security."
Rich Herberts of Crestwood, Mo., offers this: "Your rant on Weekend Edition Sunday was way off line. No one outside of the Beltway gives a care about what you perceive to be a huge issue. Is Mark Foley an idiot? Yes. Do people want to hear about this? They did originally, but it has become a tempest in a teapot. I think most people vote on their congressman based on more substantive issues than a gay congressman hitting on pages. To think that enough people would really care about the issue nationwide to turn out the majority is just, well, wrong."
Luis Rodriguez says the Foley scandal "is all a smokescreen to cover up the situation in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and the eroding of our liberties under the Constitution. I am certain that the press would do a service to the people of this country by publishing news on the ongoing debate on the elimination of habeas corpus by this government instead of Mark Foley's sexual inclinations."
On to the questions:
Q: If Dennis Hastert were to resign as speaker between now and the November election, who would be the most likely person to succeed him? — Bryce Farrington, Montrose, Calif.
A: There's no perfect person, and that's one reason why he's not resigning. However he may have handled the Foley scandal, the others in the Republican leadership didn't fare much better. Both Majority Leader John Boehner and Whip Roy Blunt said things that were construed as blaming the speaker for the mess; whether or not their comments were misinterpreted, it did not sit well with the GOP rank-and-file membership. Besides, resigning would keep the focus of the story on the competence of the party leadership. As it is, Deborah Pryce of Ohio, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House, and GOP campaign committee chair Tom Reynolds of New York are in big trouble, and part of it is an outgrowth of the Foley scandal.
Hastert has made it clear that he won't resign, and that makes sense. But if current trends continue, he won't be the speaker of the House after this year. And I suspect he won't become the minority leader in the 110th Congress, either.
Q: Can you explain why voters in Mark Foley's district are being told to vote for Foley in order to elect the candidate the Republicans have selected to run in his place? Why wouldn't that simply elect Foley, who presumably would decline to take office? — Jim Foster, Mechanicsburg, Pa.
A: Foley not only withdrew from the race as a candidate, he quit his seat in Congress. But he did so too late to get his name off the ballot. Florida law allows the party to pick a replacement nominee and provides that any votes cast for Foley will go to that replacement. Whether Republicans in the usually Republican 16th Congressional District can hold their noses and select Foley on the ballot is another matter. GOP leaders insist the voters are sophisticated enough to understand what's at stake here.
Molly Kaye of Denver, Colo.: "I've lived in Denver for over 30 years, and in the last few years, this state has been Republican. This year there are signs of change on the state level. The conservative Rocky Mountain News endorsed Bill Ritter, the Democrat, for governor. And I still see many John Kerry bumper stickers on cars, but very few Bush or [Republican gov. candidate Bob] Beauprez."
Jim Terr of Santa Fe, N.M.: "I hope New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will change his mind and debate his Republican opponent, John Dendahl. Dendahl is the nominee of a party representing a significant portion of New Mexicans who deserve the respect of having their candidate's views aired and responded to. If Richardson is the world-class negotiator and confronter of bullies he promotes himself as being (as part of his presidential resume), he shouldn't be afraid to confront Dendahl and rebut whatever might get thrown at him."
Rose Sponder of Penn Valley, Calif.: "Despite President Bush's recent fundraiser with Congressman John Doolittle (R-CA), this race has gotten almost no national notice. Here in the 4th District, it is noteworthy, to say the least, that heretofore unknown Democrat Charlie Brown has put up such a huge, substantive fight against the well-funded Doolittle."
Dee Scott of Monson, Mass.: "Kerry Healey (R) is running for governor of Massachusetts. Interestingly, the Republicans here are running ads questioning the wisdom of having single-party rule. [The Democrats control the state legislature.] They have a point there. How do we get them to run the ad nationally?"
Eric Martin of Lincoln, Neb.: "I've noticed significant shifts in power from one political party to the other: 1982, 1994, 2006. Apparently, we now know exactly how long it takes for absolute power to corrupt absolutely."
CLAYTIE AND THE LADY: The obit of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards in the Oct. 4 column prompted Debbie Russell of Austin, Texas, to write: "The most damaging thing Clayton Williams did in the campaign (besides refusing to shake Richards' hand, as you pointed out) was his stupid comment, 'Rape is like the weather: You can't do anything about it, so you might as well lay back and enjoy it.' And don't be so quick to say Richards was her own worst enemy in her 1994 re-election loss to Bush. You should check out Karl Rove's role in that campaign."
BOO WHO: The Oct. 4 column also had a note about former Ohio Gov. John Gilligan (D) being booed at a World Series game. In case any politicos plan on attending this year's Series, Ivan Swift of Toney, Ala., has this advice: "Political campaign managers will tell you it's often dangerous for a candidate to be introduced at a ball game. There's a ready-made crowd of booers sitting in the stands – their team may be losing, they're alcohol fueled, they've got a gripe over some government action or lack of action. A few boo, and the chorus chimes in."
NANCY AND SLUGGO: Here's a great piece of trivia from Douglas Weber, a researcher with the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington, that we've never seen before: 1924 was the last time anyone was first elected to the California congressional seat now held by Nancy Pelosi through a regular election; everyone since then first won via a special. Pelosi was first elected in 1987, following the death of Sala Burton (D). Burton had succeeded her late husband, Phil Burton (D), in a 1983 special. Phil Burton, one of the most powerful members of the House, won a special 1964 election that was caused when John Shelley (D) was elected mayor of San Francisco. Shelley first came to the House in a 1949 special, following the death of Richard Welch (R). And Welch was first elected in a 1926 special, following the death of Lawrence Flaherty (R). Flaherty's first election was in 1924.
And how 'bout this one on the New Jersey Senate race from Paul Mulshine, the wonderful political columnist at the Newark Star-Ledger, regarding the candidacy of Bob Menendez, the appointed Democratic incumbent: "No Hudson County pol has won statewide since A. Harry Moore got elected to the Senate back in 1934."
SEEING DOUBLE: As for the feature in the Aug. 9 column about whether any twins have served together in Congress, Farar Elliott, the Curator of the House and Chief of the Office of History and Preservation of the House (try fitting that on a business card), tells us that two members of the House have a twin sibling: Jean Schmidt (R-OH) a sister, and John Barrow (D-GA) a brother.

Perhaps you suffer from seasonal allergies. Or your child lives with chronic asthma. Maybe you love cats. But, your litter box is keeping guests at a safe distance. Or, maybe you just want to breathe the cleanest air possible.
Whatever the reason, you now find yourself wading through product descriptions and online reviews trying to make an informed decision. But the number of options is overwhelming, "reviews" are conflicting, and the right choice seems daunting. You get to the point where you stop and ask yourself, "what is an air purifier anyway."
Put simply, air purifiers mechanically remove one or more types of particles or odors from the air. The types of pollutants in your home are just as wide and varied as the types of air purifiers on the market. There are two basic categories when it comes to air purifiers: portable air purifiers and whole-house systems.
Portable systems are typically clean an individual room, but some are powerful enough to tackle large spaces. The other option is a whole-house purifier is typically a permanent install that ties into your homes heating or cooling system. These are intended to clean the air in the entire home by passing air through a centrally located filter. Portables usually range in price from well under $100 to $800, and sometimes high-end units will cost $1,000 to $2,000. Whole-house purification can be as cheap and easy as a filter costing less than $30 to professionally installed systems costing thousands.
Modern air purifiers employ a wide range of technologies to improve indoor air quality. Each method provides both advantages and disadvantages. Though we deem some more effective than others. When it comes to choosing a device, it is necessary to consider the unique attributes of each individual system. HEPA, Activated Carbon, UV, Negative Ion, Electrostatic and Ozone technologies find themselves among common purifier types. As a general rule, we primarily recommend a combination of HEPA filtration and activated carbon.
HEPA Filters
HEPA filtration is one of the most popular, and effective, air purifying methods. An electric fan forces air through a glass-fiber filter to collect tiny particles. HEPA filters date back to the Manhattan Project where they were used to capture radioactive particles.
By law, HEPA filtration systems must remove at least 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns. This means HEPA filters are able to get rid of a lot of tiny particles such as dust, bacteria, and fibers. However, HEPA does not remove odors, many viruses or gases. Even with a sacrificial pre-filter, HEPA is so fine that it will eventually clog. Usually, they need to be replaced every couple years under normal operating conditions.
Activated Carbon
Activated Carbon utilizes one of the most porous compounds to pull pollutants such as VOCs, gases, and tobacco smoke from the air.
These carbon infused filters use the process of adsorption (not absorption), which captures various chemicals and makes them stick to the surface. They are great at removing odors and gases. Activated Carbon filters are not as efficient with airborne particles, however, so they are best used in combination with a HEPA filter which can more effectively conquer allergens.
UV Technology
UV Technology involves using UV rays to cleanse passing oxygen. The air is forced to circulate past a lamp which then removes various microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. The exposure time and the light wattage are both extremely important to the success of this kind of air purifier. If neither is at a high enough rate, the particles are not effectively eliminated. Because UV technology doesn't physically filter, it is also best used with an additional filter system to catch airborne particles that are missed. You will need to do a little maintenance, however, lights require occasional replacement.
Negative Ion Generators
Negative ions are the result of a process that introduces electrically-charged molecules into the air. The negative ions cause a neutral air molecule to either gain or lose an electron. Larger particles are more prone to becoming ionized and will, therefore, gain an extra particle and latch onto surrounding surfaces.
The negative ion system is not the most effective because, while it assists in collecting unwanted particles, it does not remove them. Instead, it takes the unwanted particles from the air but then re-attaches them to walls and other solid surfaces. The metal plates the unit uses to generate the ions also need frequent cleaning.
It's also important to point out that, negative ion generators can produce ozone which is bad for your health. Be sure to check the specifications, reviews, or manual closely. When in doubt contact the manufacturer. Ozone is a respiratory irritant and can trigger serious reactions in asthmatics or those with COPD.
Electrostatic Precipitators
Electrostatic Precipitators work similarly to ion generators in that they attract pollutants to the various surfaces in a room. They are somewhat superior, though, because rather than simply collecting the pollutants and attaching them to a surface, they filter and eliminate the pollutants as well. The downside to Electrostatic Precipitators is that they can also create ozone. So use with caution.
Ozone Generators
Ozone air purifiers and generators work by altering oxygen molecules and creating ozone. Think three O's instead of just two. While these are sometimes sold as household purifiers, ozone is a known irritant and potentially harmful substance.
It may remove certain chemicals and odors from the air, but it is not recommended to use these purifiers unless it's commercial: in a large uninhabited room with significant damage from things like fires or flooding.
So what can an air purifier really do for you? To answer that question it is important to first realize that, because air purifiers are not considered medical devices, they are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Furthermore, many of the claims made by some manufacturers of air purifiers are unsubstantiated. The American Lung Association provides a list of basic steps to take in your home that can be more effective and inexpensive than lower end purifiers.
Many myths run rampant in the world of air purification. So educate yourself and ignore claims that seem too good to be true. It is necessary to understand your air purification needs as well as the pitfalls of each type of device. Here are some of the most common air purifier misconceptions.
Misconception #1: Ozone Is Just Fine
If you have your eye on one of the sleek electrostatic units, or ozone generators, be aware that a byproduct of the electrical charge is ozone. Ozone has been proven to pose health problems, even at small levels. We can blame Ozone for triggering asthma, reducing lung functioning, and causing chest pain. The Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board have issued statements advising against the use of air purifiers that put off ozone.
Misconception #2: Say Goodbye to Dusting
While many air purifiers will help remove dust and other allergens, one of the most important things to do is keep a clean and uncluttered household.
Certain devices such as the Activated Carbon and Electrostatic Precipitators are not as effective at eliminating allergens or merely push the dust particles off to the sidelines. It is important to combine these purifiers with daily cleaning and dusting around your house to achieve optimal results.
Misconception #3: No More Odors!
Nothing can replace good hygiene. You'll still need to give your pets a bath. You have to take out the trash regularly. But, some air purifiers will help with the smells left behind after you do your chores.
Certain air purifiers such as Activated Carbon and Ozone Generators may be helpful in reducing the odors in your household but it is not a miracle cure. The best solution is always to eliminate the origin of the odor. Purifiers mainly help with lingering or short term odor.
Misconception #4: Set it and Forget it…
Though it would be incredibly convenient to buy one air purifier and leave it running eternally, this is unfortunately not the case. You must replace air filters or clean metal plates.
HEPA filtration and Negative Ion Generators can be extremely useful, but not if you don't take the time to maintain their systems.
Misconception #5: I Will Be Healthier than Ever Before
The main purpose of all air purification systems is to clean and improve the air and environment around you. UV Technology, for example, will assist in removing viruses and bacteria from the air. HEPA technology will also remove airborne particulate matter. Negative Ion Generators can help eliminate pollen and dust.
None of these systems, however, will do the job alone. You will want to research the type of allergens or particles you are looking to remove of and choose a purifier accordingly. To maximize benefits, you should also keep your home well ventilated and avoid indoor smoking.
Air Purifiers cover a wide range of devices, from portable to whole-home purifiers, all at varying costs. Every type of air purification system is unique and focuses on the removal of a specific group of elements: bacteria/viruses, allergens, odors, to name a few.
Air purifiers provide many benefits. But, you must also recognize the various myths and unsubstantiated claims to avoid when purchasing an air purifier. The best option is to strike a balance between a unit that is right for you and a lifestyle that complements your choice. We're here to help, so feel free to look around our site and learn more about the best air purifier for you.

Alternative to Mattress Stitch
I like seamed designs. Seams add structure to a garment. As I knit mostly outside the home, I prefer working on a smaller pieces rather than dragging the whole garment everywhere. But I have a problem: I really dislike Mattress Stitch. I dislike its name, dislike the awkward position at which I have to work it
So my alternative to Mattress Stitch is running stitch or back stitch, worked with wrong sides of the fabric facing. Back stitch is more elastic but more bulky. If you use running stitch and are careful enough to match the edges stitch by stitch, the result is identical to Mattress Stitch. But I'm not really that picky, I don't match every single stitch exactly. I use markers liberally at the side edges by tying a piece of waste yarn every 10cm/4″. When I am seaming, I just aim to match up the markers. These little markers make it so much easier to work a seam without tears!
Favorite on-the-go knitting patterns
I don't knit much at home. Most of my knitting is done at my in-laws place or at the seaside, where my toddler is kept busy. So it is almost a must to have a on-the-go knitting project on my needles. A good on-the-go knitting project should be lightweight to be carried around and it should not be a too quick knit that can be finished in a couple of hours. I don't want to run out of knitting! That's why you constantly see this type of designs pops up in my portfolio 😉 Below are some on-the-go projects that I enjoyed. If you cannot live without knitting, you may want to add them to your library of knitting patterns!
Choosing patterns for plus sizes
A sweater in size 2XL is not an enlarged version of the sample size. When grading is not done properly, you will get an unrealistically wide shoulder width, exceptionally long neck to waist measurement, etc. I had a hard time picking a good pattern when I was looking for a pattern for a plus size friend.
Fortunately it is relatively easy to identify a poorly graded pattern from the schematic measurements. It won't take you much time and will potentially help you save a huge amount of frustration. The key measurements to compare are shoulder width (or back width), back length (neck to natural waist) and armhole depth. You can compare these measurements against a sweater you already own in a similar style. A slight difference is perfectly normal, but any difference above 5 cm / 2″ is an alarm that the pattern may not be properly graded. You should then check how these measurements vary among sizes. This is a more advanced topic that I hope to discuss in the future.
What does that mean?
If you are new to knitting patterns, you may find some phrases not so intuitive to understand. So I have rewritten some of them in plain English, hopefully you will find them useful.
. . .
You are working flat (or working back and forth) when you are facing the right side on one row and facing the wrong side on another row.
You are working in the round when you are always facing the same side of the knitting. It is great if you hate to purl.
Work X rows even – Continue to work in whatever stitch pattern you are working for X more rows.
If you are working it Stockinette stitch, assume that you are working flat, you will continue to knit on the right side rows and purl on the wrong side rows for a total of X more rows.
Cont in patt as set – This is similar to "work X rows even", you should keep on working in whatever stitch pattern you are using. Typically there are some shapings occuring at the same time, that's why you don't see the word "even" here.
Ending with a WS row – The last row worked should be a wrong side row.
Work even until piece measures X cm / Y" from CO – The designer means BLOCKED measurement! So if your pre-blocking gauge is 23 rows and your post-blocking gauge is 24 rows and that the piece measures X cm, it means that it will measure X * 23 / 24 cm after blocking. Keep your hand-held calculator handy!
Work as for Left Front – Reuse the directions for the Left Front, usually it has been written generically so that it works for both the Left Front and the Right Front. This is DIFFERENT from "reversing all shaping". Don't worry, I never use "reversing all shaping" in my patterns. It is too confusing for most beginners.

Before I made this I had never eaten lamb hash. I'd eaten brisket of beef hash, corned beef hash and even turkey hash. This was a total experiment. The idea came to me when I had leftovers from this exact leg of lamb recipe. The leg of lamb was so rich and loaded with flavors, I knew the hash would be amazing.
Most hash is made from whatever leftovers you have in the fridge. There is nothing wrong with using leftovers but sometimes you end up adding lots of fillers to stretch the meat or protein and you fry it all in butter to enhance the flavor.
In this case, the lamb is roasted to be used as the basis of the hash. Yes, the leg of lamb is cooked ahead and you can even serve it the night before with roasted potatoes. You will still have leftovers for hash. Since the lamb is still moist and flavorful, the hash is baked instead of pan fried. If necessary, it's moistened with the pan drippings that are thinned with water or chicken stock.
As to the results of my experiment: Three of my guests were professional chefs. They had never eaten lamb hash. At the party, they asked for the recipe. I smiled and said, "Read the blog."

SERVES: 10-12 People
1 bone in leg of lamb (6-8 lbs)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground fennel
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
3 cloves crushed garlic
2 cups prunes cut in quarters (soaked in warm water 20 minutes and drained) *
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard *
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 medium lemon
Instant read thermometer
Large roasting pan fitted with rack
Fat separation glass
1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, cloves, cardamom, fennel, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, paprika.
2. Using a blender, Vitamix or food processor, combine mixed spices and garlic with prunes, Dijon mustard, olive oil and lemon juice. Process to make thick wet paste.
3. If you buy an untrimmed leg of lamb, you need to remove the "fell" which is a very tough, thick outer layer. Trim the excess fat that is beneath the fell.
4. Make incisions 1"-long and 2"-deep all over the leg.
5. Spread the wet paste evenly over the lamb, coating it thoroughly. Let the lamb sit at room temperature 30-60 minutes. Transfer lamb fat side up to a large roasting pan fitted with a rack.
6. Roast the lamb for 20 minutes per pound (2 hours for 6-lb leg of lamb, 2 hours and 40 minutes for 8 lbs).
7. An instant read thermometer, inserted in the thickest part of the meat — not touching the bone — should read 145 for medium rare.
8. If you are using this for hash, remember it will be reheated; so it's best to stay on the rare side. If serving as a roast, some people prefer lamb slightly pink but not rare.
9. Remove pan from oven and transfer lamb to a cutting board. Cover to keep warm if serving as roast.
10. Pour pan juices into a fat separator or glass measuring cup. Spoon off excess fat. You can serve with sliced lamb or use to moisten lamb hash.
11. This may be fairly thick. It can be thinned with water to make a base for a gravy.
12. If not serving this as a roast, keep this to moisten the lamb hash.
* A NOTE: I buy the prunes and the Dijon mustard at Costco.
EVENT: New Year's Day Brunch
SERVES: 10-12 People
5-6 cups cubed leg of lamb
3 cups cooked cubed potatoes
1 large onion chopped (approximately 1 1/2 – 2 cups onions)
2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken stock or water
Pan drippings from roasted leg of lamb
Chopped parsley
1. Saute onions in olive oil until wilted.
2. Combine cubed lamb, potatoes, cooked onions and cilantro in baking dish.
3. Correct for salt and pepper.
4. Moisten slightly with chicken stock or pan drippings thinned with chicken stock or water.
5. Bake covered at 375 degrees until heated thoroughly.
6. Top with fresh parsley.
A NOTE: You can prep this the day before. Store it tightly covered in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before baking. Bake it morning of the party.

Hi Friends,
Many of you are familiar with my art and with Bodypainting Day, and now I'm excited to announce our new non-profit organization, Human Connection Arts.
Over the past 10 years, I've been body painting in the public streets of New York City. I have dealt with a lot of adversity from having to defend the legitimacy of the art itself to being arrested for "public lewdness." My motivation has always been to stretch the idea of what art could be and the power it has to connect us . With no plan other than to follow my artistic vision, I feel blessed that my work has continued to grow and blossom, resulting in this new non-profit. I surely couldn't have done any of it without the support of many brave models, journalists, civil rights attorneys and my wife, Carol.
There is a palpable hunger today for human connection, for people to both express and to learn from each other. The goal of Human Connection Arts is to continue to grow Bodypainting Day, and to produce new dynamic public events involving various art forms. This non-profit has enabled me to involve many talented people to take these ideas to new heights. Check out this great Board.
Our launch events are taking place on June 9th--
Body Notes and our Body Note Bash!
I hope you will join us on this exciting journey.

I will teach you the system that revolutionized my dinner routine.
➺ 1 week (5 days)
Check your inbox and click the confirmation link in the email to get your sample menu and tips to make 5 dinners in 1 hour. *Don't forget to check your spam/bulk folders also.
I am loving this meal prep and eating at home. With all the meals that I fed my family, I was still able to take a meal to my friend (She had a baby last week!). It was nice to just be able to take a meal to her without an extra prep.
My groceries for week 2 were less than $60, including milk, fruit, and 10% sales tax! I'm used to spending about $100/week and buying minimal meat, so this was awesome, especially considering we had four packages of meat!!
Can I just say I love that because of the prep I didn't have to run to the store for anything during the week. Typically I plan a meal a day head but don't really prep other than thaw the meat out. This has been fantastic! Knowing that everything is done and on the day of with in about 30min dinner is done! You don't know how much valuable time you've given me back with my kid! Thank you!
My family LOVED the Cheesy Chicken Tenders so much. They raved and raved and wished we had more. With four kids I only get unanimous approval if we have take out so I was shocked. I will definitely be making this again.

And just like that, The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion came to a close. Not with a whimper, but some yelling, accusations, drama rehashing and yes, a group hug. First, that accusation. Yes, last week Teresa Giudice said she thinks Jacqueline Laurita and possibly Caroline Manzo called the federal government on her, resulting in her prison sentence and husband Joe Giudice's current prison term for fraud.
"I feel like she was definitely dabbling in it, she was speaking to people, getting information, to people that maybe those certain people then went to the feds," Teresa clarified during part two of the reunion.
Chris Laurita came to his wife's defense and pointed to a mutual friend who called Chris about about the Giudice drama, but this didn't silence Teresa or Melissa Gorga on the accusations.
But while we're on the topic of prison, or "camp," Teresa said she was never tempted to get with a woman, but she did get massages that "would feel good."
Regarding her charges and responsibility, Teresa said, "I know I'm not a bad person, I know I didn't try to commit a crime."
"The numbers that were on the paper were incorrect. That's what I got in trouble for, I didn't fill out that mortgage paper…all I did was signed on the dotted line," she said, noting she wished the bank and mortgage broker who also signed the fraudulent paperwork would have also gone away. As for the lack of remorse it seemed like she displayed, Teresa hit back. "I spent 352 nights away from my daughters, I'd like that person to be away from their children for 352 days," she said.
And then the hot-button topic: Joe could get deported when he finishes his prison sentence. "It's a legal matter, so I'm not really supposed to discuss it and I guess we'll deal with that when it comes," she said. "No need to give it life."
And the miscellaneous lose ends:
Teresa on her cousins Kathy Wakile and Rosie Pierri: "They're toxic. I don't need family that's toxic."
The disastrous Vermont trip and the nose jobs: "No. Let me tell you something, it's the worst kept secret," Melissa said. Jacqueline butted in and said it was different doctors and Melissa got mad. "Why do you care? It's the worst kept secret, but it's my secret to tell. Not yours. Maybe I don't want me daughter to hear it. Thank you, I'll let Antonia know now."
Teresa came to her sister-in-law's defense in the battle over…nose jobs and Vermont. "You're a low, dirty bitch. Look at her clown-looking face. It's disgusting. She's probably one of the clowns coming around our house. She's probably one of them."
And then things got heated when Teresa messed up a saying. "Such a moron, can't argue with a moron," Jacqueline said.
The disastrous finale meeting..."What happened was, it was attitude right away. My walls went up," Jacqueline said. And this is what she was going to tell the women before everything went down the crapper: "Let's agree to disagree, we're never going to be friends again, that's fine. When we're around each other, let's respect each other's boundaries."
Is there any hope for Jacqueline and Teresa to repair their damaged relationship? "They would both need a lobotomy," Dolores Catania said.
Teresa said she'll always have a soft spot in her heart for Jacqueline's son and would probably come through should Jacqueline need her. After tears over Nicholas and everybody saying they're great moms, Teresa and Jacqueline had a moment, brought on by Siggy Flicker's desire to see everybody hug out.
"We don't have to be friends, we don't have to go deep, we don't have to do any of that…from this moment on, I won't utter a bad word about you," Jacqueline said to Teresa.
"Just please, please, I beg you, don't hurt me and my family. If anyone wants to hurt me, don't talk to them," Teresa said.
"Can we have a truce here?" Teresa asked. "All I want is peace."
And then there was the group hug and host Andy Cohen side-stepped to bring Jacqueline and Teresa closer together. "I have to be the closest to Jacqueline?" Teresa asked.
And there you have it. The countdown to Danielle Staub's return is on?
(E! and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Most Helpful Girl
girl two00|00|0
Thanks <3
Have an opinion?
that first girl's makeup reminds me of that creepy snapchat filter my sister shows me lmaoo
It's quite clearly the third.
First looks like a narcissistic b*tch based on makeup and general appearance and is also unappealingly overweight
Second just doesn't have an as attractive face as the third. It MIGHT just be the terribly applied makeup on the eyes, though.
So third it is.
I'm going with #3. She is like a princess.
Certainly not the fat one.
Technically girl 3 is.
If 1 lost say 40 lbs she would be perfect
Are 2 and 3 the same person?
Girl 2 or Girl 3. They are not fat and Girl 3 is wearing heels.
I picked girl 1. I love bigger women, the way her makrup is and the piercing
who's that 3rd girl?
For some reason I find number 1 more interestin'... even wid all dat make-up on I beleive she's better than other 2... those other 2 look like princesses A LOT... and I don't have a good impression about princesses... they disgust me...
Better trashy and fat like da first one than a fuckin' princess...
The first one is so beautiful to me
Girl 3 rules
2 and 3 are pretty equal

Sasha Grey Retiring!
Wonderful news: Sasha Grey is putting porn behind her. The fact that most of the media is saying, "finally, she can give up the crappy job she once had because she has finally made it", but most of the media hasn't really seen Sasha Grey's porn. She could live nicely for quite a while doing that, but porn doesn't last forever either. The fact that she's going mainstream shows she understands the limitations of her previous career and is investing herself into something new, two rather noble acts. To compliment her on putting porn in the rearview is like shaking a retired football player's hand and saying, "congratulations on owning that chain of gyms -- a lot better than playing some stupid game all day, right? Be you're glad you're done with that." Nobody gives a shit when somebody moves from one job to another on the High School Guidance Counselor Approved list; Grey should be congratulated for expanding her horizons and growing professionally, not because its assumed she's escaping something horrible. Thumbs up!

One of the best things about working in and with the Phoenix Islands Protected Area is the close-knit relationship between science and management. Since the first New England Aquarium Expedition in 2000 (before the protection of the archipelago was even a twinkle in anyone's eye), Aquarium scientists and affiliates have been going to Tarawa to relay scientific findings directly to the Kiribati Government. This tradition continues today, and the relationship has grown; the scientists now have a formal outlet to communicate findings and provide scientific advice to PIPA Management via the Scientific Advisory Committee. Transit to PIPA is expensive and time-consuming, and thus infrequent. So, when an expedition is going, we will often try to accomplish both scientific and management objectives. This trip, the main management objective is to install signs on each island that state the MPA rules.
The first sign was installed on Kanton, with the help of Kanton residents. It's a big task, requiring a deep hole, wire mesh, poured concrete and a lot of sweat and patience.

Blizzard, SteelSeries Co-Develop World Of Warcraft: Cataclysm MMO Gaming Mouse
SteelSeries has developed another World of Warcraft mouse. Hopefully they've learned a few lessons from their previous mouse, which was OK but sorta flawed at the same time.

And given my various conversations with the folks at SteelSeries over the past months, I know that… Read More

You Can Go To Blizzcon Courtesy Of SteelSeries (If You Win)
Blizzcon, the two-day Blizzard extravaganza, takes place on October 22-23 this year. Expect plenty of Cataclysm news, maybe even the announcement of a release date. Fun!

Eve Online, the interview: Getting to know the space-themed MMO's philosophy on game design, user communities, & online anonymity
Online gamers received quite the scare last week when Blizzard announced it would require message board posters to use their real names.

Want to QQ on Blizzard's message board? Better get ready to use your real name!
Kudos to Blizzard for putting an end to Anonymous Cowards everywhere. Well, at least on their own official forums.
