We're from the Government and We're Here to Help Green Sea Turtles
When the temperature drops very quickly like this — turtles, being cold blooded — it makes them very lethargic, and once their temperature drops below a certain temperature, then they end up dying," said Mike Zewe, development coordinator at the coastal and marine preserve.
The turtle hospital on North Ocean Boulevard had 34 patients as of late Friday, officials said.
Officials at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach also had an influx of "cold-stunned" juvenile green sea turtles. As of late Friday, eight of the reptiles were admitted at the center and 300 were being treated at rehabilitation centers statewide, said Tom Longo, communications manager at Loggerhead.
Green turtles are the largest of all the hard-shelled sea turtles, but have a comparatively small head.
Adult green turtles are unique among sea turtles in that they eat only plants; they are herbivorous, feeding primarily on seagrasses and algae. This diet is thought to give them greenish-colored fat, from which they take their name.
While nesting season varies from location to location, in the southeastern U.S., females generally nest in the summer between June and September; peak nesting occurs in June and July.
During the nesting season, females nest at approximately two-week intervals. They lay an average of five nests, or "clutches." In Florida, green turtle nests contain an average of 135 eggs, which will incubate for approximately 2 months before hatching.
Economics focuses on knowledge and incentive problems. No one knows the best way to protect green sea turtles when they hatch, or in in open water. But if a single female can lay five clutches of 135 eggs each, well, that's a lot of sea turtle eggs. If even half survived the oceans would be thick with green sea turtles in just a few generations. (Ten years of one female laying 600 eggs each summer, with 300 being females and 150 or 50% surviving would leave us with some 7,593,750,000,000,000 turtles bumping into each other across the world's oceans, and devouring all available "sea grasses and algae.")
So obviously, most sea turtle eggs don't make the transition to adults. According to Seaworld.org:
Fishes, dogs, seabirds, raccoons, ghost crabs, and other predators prey on eggs and hatchlings. Most than 90% of hatchlings are eaten by these predators.
So what if some entrepreneur decided to protect green sea turtle eggs from natural (and domestic) predators, and insure a much larger percentage of eggs "Survival of the Sea Turtle: Cayman Turtle Farm Starts Over."
survived? That was the enterprise developed by Anthony Fisher, a successful U.K. businessman when he founded the Cayman Turtle Farm. Andrew Morris explains the history and the economics in
Since the end of the last ice age 21,000 years ago, our planet has seen ocean levels rise by 120 meters to reach their current levels.
unhappy picture. Anthony Fisher's original turtle farm expected to restore the endangered green sea turtle by protecting hatchlings and releasing thousands to the wild. But the firm also expected to raise and harvest turtles for turtle soup exports to the United States.
Green sea turtle imports to the U.S. were banned, due to the Convention on Trade in Endangers Species (CITES) and pressure from environmental groups. The trade ban bankrupted the Cayman Island Turtle Farm. Without income from turtle soup sales to fund operations, green sea turtle releases were reduced. The Cayman Island government took over the turtle farm for a tourist attraction (as Andrew Morris describes in his PERC essay above).
Wild animals can be popular attractions for tourism, and tourism can create local jobs and generate revenue for wildlife restoration. But tourism seems not as powerful an economic driver for restoring green sea turtle populations as a thriving commercial turtle soup industry would be.
By what right do government agencies decide that some species can be raised commercially and consumed while others cannot? Allowing green sea turtles to be raised on farms and sold to consumers as food would quickly allow wild turtle populations to be restored. Banning turtle farming, trade, and consumption keeps green sea turtles endangered.

Usually I wouldn't want to be considered "deplorable" but when someone like Hillary Clinton (Killary) basically says anyone who doesn't support her is deplorable, you can surely count me in that basket of people. Forward Controls Design has come up with the Deplorable Patch which 2.75″ wide and 1″ tall with a Multicam background and Velcro backing. You can purchase the patch for $6 shipped or get one free with any purchase over $75. Get yours at www.ForwardControlsDesign.com. **Update: the first batch sold out but you can still order one.**
We've always tried to stay out of politics, for it is our part to innovate and produce superior US made firearms components, not to take sides in politics and proselytize, I believe that being in the firearms business makes it impossible to stay neutral.
Apparently, half of us belong in the basket of deplorables, and of these, some are irredeemable. Thus have we been labelled by the most corrupt and dishonest presidential contender in recent history.
We are not politically correct, and we are not useful idiots. Fortunately, we're also not without a self deprecating sense of humor. If it is our lot to be sneered at and made fun of, I say embrace the basket, and stay deplorable my friends 🙂
The patch is free with orders of $75 or more (while supplies last), and available for sale. We will make a donation to a worthy cause and post the receipt here
The Velcro backed patch is 2.75″ wide and 1″ tall, with Multicam background, OD border and black text.

It's been a while since I've posted a recipe from Lady AB's Sunday Cooking Show, what with moving house and exploring a new side of town for the blog etc etc.
But it was recently T's birthday and Lady AB and I made him some sugar-free chocolate cupcakes (Baby 2.0 just licked the spoon). I wanted to share the recipe for an easy and delicious school holiday activity.
Yes, it is possible to make moist, chocolatey cupcakes without any sugar! I discovered this after I attended a masterclass with Cupcake Central and Natvia where we learnt to make cupcakes using Natvia baking and icing.
Natvia is a natural sweetener processed from the tips of organic, GM free stevia plants. They are a Melbourne-based company who now sell their sweetener in major Australian supermarkets and around the world. I met the founders of Natvia and their passion is to inspire people to make positive changes to their diet and lead a healthier lifestyle. Switching sugar to Natvia means you can still enjoy sweet treats without the calories or artificial chemicals found in other sugar alternatives.
Not-so-devilish Chocolate Cupcakes by Cupcake Central and Natvia
- 1 ½ cup plain flour, sifted
- ½ cup cocoa, sifted
- 1 cup Natvia Baking, sifted
- 1 tsp bicarb soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large free range eggs
- ½ cup vegetable or melted coconut oil
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line cupcake pans with cupcake wrappers.
2. Sift dry ingredients directly into mixing bowl.
3. Add to the dry mixture the oil, water and vanilla. Use paddle attachment and beat slowly.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time (to break down the enzymes) and mix thoroughly to help aerate the mixture.
5. Add vinegar, beat on low speed then 30 seconds high speed.
6. Scrape down bowl regularly and beat until mixture is smooth. The batter will be runnier than normal cupcake batter. Scoop batter into cupcake wrappers using an ice-cream scoop with a lever for perfectly shaped cupcakes!
7. Bake for 17 – 20 minutes until skewer comes out clean.
You can frost the cupcakes using a basic vanilla frosting (125g room temperature butter, 220g Natvia Icing, 1 tsp vanilla extract, pinch of salt. Cream on med/high for 3-5 minutes until fluffly and light). As I was lazy I just added a raspberry on top of each cupcake and dusted them all with Natvia Icing. Ta-dah!

Pokemon Go tours: Would you pay to catch 'em all?
CRAZED gamers will never miss a Pokemon on the hunt again as a taxi firm are offering to drive them to catch the monsters.
Pokemon Go has taken the world by storm as players are sent to a number of Pokestops to capture the creatures.
The free-to-use app has inspired boozy pub crawls, cheeky nude selfies and epic pranks.
Taxi firm CabLine in Canterbury, Kent, is the first to offer Pokemon Go driven tours.
"I've been playing the game myself and love how it encourages people to get off their sofas and out of the house"Jet Welch
It has already attracted widespread interest.
Driver Jet Welch said: "A friend of mine suggested it and I thought it was a great idea.
"I've been playing the game myself and love how it encourages people to get off their sofas and out of the house.
"Not everyone has transport, and others have mobility problems, so hopefully we can help them still play the game and not miss out on catching whatever Pokemon they want."
Brits can either guide Jet on a journey of their choice or take one of the pre-planned routes.
Jet, 33, plans to install free wi-fi in her Seat Toledo and a multi-phone charging point to ensure batteries last the distance.
The ingenious idea could turn the worldwide craze for the game into a money spinner.
Jet proposed the idea to director Altin Jasaj, who loved it.
Altin said: "When Jet came to us with the idea we thought it was great.
"She will do the tours to begin with, as she knows the game, and if it catches on we'll get more drivers involved."
The tours will put determined fans out of pocket by £10-per-hour.
A minimum of three fans are required per trip.

NFL: Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez's retirement plans could be on hold
Atlanta Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff says he hopes Tony Gonzalez will postpone his planned retirement for another year.
Last Updated: 15/02/13 5:39pm
The soon-to-be 37-year-old Gonzalez said after Atlanta's play-off defeat to San Francisco that he would 'probably' be retiring after 15 seasons in the league.
He has since said he is 95 per cent certain he will not return next season, but Dimitroff says he does not believe that Gonzalez is that convinced he wants to hang up his pads.
The Falcons finished as the top team in the NFC and only just lost out on a place in the Super Bowl with a narrow defeat by the 49ers in a tight AFC Championship game in Atlanta.
Dimitroff says head coach Mike Smith has talked with Gonzalez and feels that the tight end, who seems a certainty for the Hall of Fame in the future, could be persuaded to return, given how close Atlanta came to a Super Bowl appearances this season.
"Tony has done so much for us on and off the field and I don't believe, not stating that he would be lying to anyone, but I don't believe the 95 percent," Dimitroff told NBC's Pro Football Talk. "I want to believe it's a lot closer to 50/50, to be honest with you, and we've had discussions.
"Obviously Mike Smith has had discussions with him. We're all in a good place. Ultimately it's up to Tony to decide if he wants to come back and potentially catch 100 balls again.
"I think it's one of those situations that Tony was so effective for us down the stretch and I can't imagine that his appetite wasn't sort of whet from his contributions in the play-offs."
After the Falcons lost to the Niners, Gonzalez said: "It's probably the last time I'm going to wear that uniform. All good things come to an end, and like I said all season long, this is probably my last one. What an unbelievable ride."
Although Atlanta will look at tight ends in the draft, Dimitroff insists Gonzalez still tops their list for next season, although there is no timeline for a decision to be made by either party.
Gonzalez has found a good fit with the Falcons after so many years with the Chiefs, and quarterback Matt Ryan hit him for 93 catches, 930 yards and eight touchdowns this season as he made a 13th Pro Bowl.

Military Spouse Study Finds High Number of Female Spouses Underemployed
Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University (IVMF) have announced the results of a national study focused on military spouse employment. The presentation will be made on Feb. 12 at MOAA's Military Spouse Symposium in San Antonio, hosted in partnership with JPMorgan Chase & Co.
A major finding was that 90 percent of responding female spouses of active duty service members report being underemployed, meaning they possess more formal education/experience than needed at their current or most recent position. Additionally, the 2012 American Community Survey (ACS) data show military spouses make an average of 38 percent less total personal income and are 30 percent more likely to be unemployed than their civilian counterparts. This infographic summarizes the report's findings.
"The results of the 2013 Military Spouse Employment Survey demonstrate a need for concerted efforts to improve the employment issues currently faced by military spouses," MOAA President Vice Admiral Norb Ryan says.
"This critical research effort examined the range of economic impacts facing military spouses as a result of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves, licensure constraints and lack of career-enhancing opportunities that come as a result of their spouse's service," says IVMF Director of Research Rosalinda Maury. "Through this project and our partnership with MOAA, we hope that this work will inform the national discussion, helping to create new programs, policies and initiatives that provide resources that will help this community to overcome challenges they face in the pursuit of economic empowerment. The results of this study demonstrate that these challenges are significant and pervasive."
While ACS data consistently show noticeable gaps in income and unemployment between armed forces spouses and their civilian counterparts, this survey discovered there is not a lack of desire to work that is causing these gaps; more than 55 percent of respondents indicated they "need" to work, while 90 percent indicated they "want" to work.
However, active duty military spouses are more likely to have moved within states, across states and abroad, compared to their civilian and veteran counterparts. The increased likelihood of moving from one geographic location to another further compounds economic issues for these families.
According to survey results, other factors affecting their unemployment or underemployment include relocating to geographic locations with limited employment opportunities, employer perceptions of military spouses, inability to match skills and education to jobs, inflexible work schedules and high childcare costs.
Other study highlights:
- In 2012, 18- to 24-year-old armed forces female spouses had the highest unemployment rates at 30 percent (which is almost three times higher than their civilian counterparts at 11 percent). Armed forces female spouses between the ages of 25 and 44 had the second-highest unemployment rates at 15 percent (almost three times higher than their civilian counterparts at 6 percent).
- More than 50 percent of respondents indicated their chosen career field requires licensing or certification and 73 percent require renewal/reissuing after a PCS move, costing an average of $223.03.
- Respondents reported being underemployed with respect to education (33 percent), experience (10 percent) or both (47 percent).
- Income significantly differs based on educational attainment and whether the military spouse is working in their preferred career field.
These and other findings, including recommendations to address the issues of military spouse employment, are detailed in a summary report titled "The 2013 Military Spouse Employment Report." Infographic highlights of the report findings can be found here.
"MOAA is very honored to be able to present statistically reliable and informative data about military spouse employment that will help provide the basis for future decision and policy making regarding the well-being of military families," MOAA President Vice Adm. Norb Ryan said

This section contains mostly some experiments with a Yamaha PSS-480 synthesizer and early American "fuging tunes". There are a few other recordings mixed in among the lot, some with real instruments and singing, but the bulk of the songs use the Yamaha PSS.
These recordings were made a few years after I discovered an original copy of the Hesperian Harp (1848) in a used bookstore in Vancouver, BC, Canada (appx. 1987). It was one of my first contacts with this unusual form of sacred music, and it deeply impressed me.
There were two distinct styles in this book (as in similar books from that time period): a folk-hymn style, based on Irish/Scottish/English folk music; and a native American innovation: the fuging tune (although this style was at least partly inspired by the Gallery Music tradition from England). Both of these styles were more exciting, original, much less sentimental, and more ruggedly beautiful than the standard revival hymns of the later 1800's by the likes of Moody, Sankey, and Fanny Crosby.
Some years after discovering this branch of sacred music, I produced a songbook collection based on the folk-hymn style: Song in the Night. This is offered in PDF format on this website.
The other style: the "fuging tune" is represented by a series of instrumental recordings performed on the Yamaha PSS-480, a lovely little FM Synthesized keyboard.
Since I did not belong to a choir, nor did my friends know sight-reading well enough to perform the fuging tunes, recording them into the keyboard's memory helped me to hear what they sounded like. I also had fun experimenting with the sound-shaping capability of the keyboard…each pre-programmed instrumental voice was comprised of two frequency oscillators, which could be individually tweaked to produce something far more interesting than the out-of-the-box sounds.
The recordings were made in 1990, before the advent of the Internet and personal computers. At that time, they were recorded from the keyboard onto cassette tape. But for their current form on this website, they have been re-mastered in Cakewalk Sonar, with some equalization, Sonic Maximizer processing, and a bit of stereo enhancement added to brighten them up.
This is not easy-listening music, nor is it a polished recording. The tracks were recorded one-by-one into the keyboard's memory, and sometimes a live part was added during the final recording onto cassette. Parts were switched in and out, tempo and tuning were adjusted on the fly, for variety. The keyboard was not touch-sensitive, so there are very little dynamics. I am not a trained keyboard player, so there are mistakes.
This is an experimental work! If you enjoy synthesized performances of classical music, and have an open mind and ear for new and different sounds and combinations of tones, you will enjoy these recordings. They do, however, (I hope) convey some of the excitement and energy that is in this unique early American musical format.

Entity Photo, Montreal, Canada
"I took this photograph back in 1996 in my old apartment and this is what happened. My bedroom was composed of one big room and one small one which where this picture was taken. And one day while i was reading inside the small bedroom i felt a presence, not soul presences like i usually feel but presence that doesn't resemble anything i felt before, it didn't feel evil or anything, just the presence of a entity around one foot high and it was just floating in the air. So i kept looking at it, it wasn't visible to the naked eye but i was able to feel it's presence. Then a bit later it vanished, so i thought of getting a camera and keep it close in case i get another visitation. It's strange though i never thought of taking pictures of any visitation that i had, but this time i did. Few days later, again i was reading at night and out of the blue it appeared, i had my camera near me so right away i took a shot without giving it any thoughts. It stayed a bit then it vanished and i forgot all about it.Until i got my film developed, the guy there said " Sir, you want this photo or i throw it away ?". I took a look at it and was really surprised, because you can see a small figure, streaks of light going in and now i felt more things from it, it was as if there was a thousand thought all condensed into one place."
The entity picture.
The same place with no entity, just to give you a idea where it appeared. The hanging thing behind is a door cover because there's a door behind that leads to the bigger bedroom.
"These last 3 picture are from the scanner, i thought of scanning the picture in grayscale, polarized(one layer)don't know what that is, and polarized (2nd layer) don't know what that is either, and that's what it seems more visible, it's outline, you can see the head, neck equal curves on both sided of the head, and it's like he's carrying something straight, very straight, like a stick or something that goes up to the right, and he doesn't seem to have legs."
"In this last picture at the buttom i've Added pointers to show the head, neck, shoulders and the right arm(his right arm), the left arm seems to have been used to hold something straight .(I had to use the mouse to write..Sorry)."

Hi, I'm Jade!
As a Spiritual Advisor, Empowerment Coach and Hypnotherapist, I have worked with many people, worldwide, for a variety of reasons. But, as a Grief Recovery Facilitator on GriefandMourning.com, it is mainly dealing with the difficult issues that arise from profound grief and loss, that I am most called upon for my counsel.
In addition to soon providing empowering downloadable classes, I offer private, one on one therapeutic sessions online or by phone, and all at a very affordable price!
Although I have been in the "healing" profession in some capacity or another for 25 plus years, I too have suffered great losses throughout my life. I know first-hand how deeply loss can be felt, and with much personal experience, I have learned the steps of how to successfully heal the painful wounds, as one goes through the grief process. This is my calling in life! Over the many years of my healing practice, I have successfully guided grieving souls along their healing path, by helping them to navigate the rough current of emotional waters that are often experienced on the grief journey.
As one who loves working with people, my passion lies in facilitating spiritual growth and development, empowerment and healing, all in a safe, nurturing, loving and non-judgmental space. I know the great value of personal attention, support and guidance and the profound importance they have in making the journey of the grief process a lot more kind, comforting and healing.
Using a wide array of skills, tools and therapeutic modalities in my metaphorical tool box, along with my excellent intuition as a spiritual counselor, dream interpreter, and empowerment coach, I not only inspire healing, but also inspire a renewed purpose IN and FOR life.

Fidelity Investments is best known as a mutual fund company and provider of retirement services and products, such as 401(k) plans and IRAs, for businesses and individuals. Fidelity, founded in 1946, is one of the largest multinational financial services corporations in the world.

As a mutual fund company, Fidelity has risen on the backs of some of their widely held mutual funds, such as Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX), managed by William Danoff and Fidelity Magellan (FMAGX), made famous in the 1980's by legendary fund manager, Peter Lynch.

But some of the best Fidelity funds to buy are their growth stock funds that have aggressive objectives for investors who want the opportunity for above-average returns. However investors should also expect above-average market risk, which is to say that declines in account value are to be expected periodically.

Best Fidelity Funds for Aggressive Stock

With one of the widest selections of mutual funds in the industry, Fidelity offers some of the best aggressive growth stock funds:

Fidelity Low-Priced Stock (FLPSX): If you want to consider another outstanding aggressive mid-cap stock fund, take a close look at FLPSX. Manager Joel Tillinghast has run the fund for 27 years, producing category-beating performance. The 15-year annualized return, through March 31, 2017, was a remarkable 9.9%. That's especially impressive considering that period contains one of the worst bear markets in history. That return beat 85% of all mid-cap value funds. The expense ratio for FLPSX is below average at 0.88% and the minimum initial investment is $2,500.

Fidelity Growth Company (FDGRX): This is another aggressive Fidelity fund with a long manager tenure. Steve Wymer has been at the helm of FDGRX since 1997, producing an impressive 11`% annualized return for 10 years through March 31, 2017. That compares to 7.5% on the S&P 500 Index and 7.7% for the average large growth stock fund during the period. The expense ratio for FDGRX is low at 0.77% and the minimum initial investment is $2,500. FDGRX is known to close to new investors when assets get too bit to manage. Be sure to check the availability of shares to purchase.

Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock (FMCSX): Mid-cap stocks are good aggressive funds because they have greater growth potential than large-cap stocks, especially in the long run. The long-term returns have averaged higher than most mid-cap stock funds and the S&P 500 Index. The expense ratio for FMCSX is 0.72%, which is low for a mid-cap stock funds, and the minimum initial investment of $2,500.

General Motors Head-Up Display History
Decades before becoming a reality, the creative minds at General Motors saw a potential for head-up display (HUD) technology in production automobiles.
Let's take a look at GM's legacy of HUD innovation, including bringing the first automotive application to market. (As an added bonus, we'll touch on a years-old question about a never-produced "advanced front-wheel drive sports coupe" from the mid 1960s.)
In the broadest sense, HUDs are a means of placing information optimally within an observer's field of vision. By 1942, the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force started projecting radar images onto their gyro sights so the gunner could keep his head up (hence the name). By the '70s, HUDs were not uncommon in fighter planes and commercial aircraft had even started to make use of them.
Land vehicles, however, were going to have to wait. Here's GM's timeline of events.
Though it may be hard to believe, GM was conceptualizing the use of a HUD for automotive instrumentation as far back as 1965, in the Mako Shark II concept.
As the photos demonstrate, although it was a part of an early sketch, a HUD wasn't built into the Mako Shark II concept. However, by 1965-66, a HUD unit was included in a proposal for a never-produced, advanced front-wheel drive sports coupe. Now, it is typical GM policy to not release pictures of vehicle models that didn't see the light of day but every once in a while something slips by. While putting this article together, I found some dots and may have inadvertently connected them.
Let me explain the two pictures above. The blue car, oddly, popped up in an automotive calendar and was titled, "1969 Chevrolet Corvette XP-856 Aero Coupe;" it appears to be on the outdoor viewing patio at GM Design. The black and white photo, below it, shows a mechanical HUD on a vehicle dashboard. That photo is sourced from GM and titled, "XP-856," with the caption, "HUD incorporated into a proposal for an advanced front-wheel drive sports coupe."
So, those are the dots and the yellow lines, shown above, indicate why I've connected them. Interestingly, although the blue car includes Corvette cues, I actually see hints of first-generation Oldsmobile Toronado in it. (The 1966 Toronado was the first front-wheel drive domestic model produced in over three decades, following the 1937 Cord.)
Following the XP-856, Chevy apparently fitted a HUD to a 1968 Caprice prototype but I couldn't find any information on it and the photo GM picked for the milestone is less than revealing. Nevertheless, history tells us the proposal didn't make production.
Following that, GM appears to have moved the idea of using HUD technology in vehicle applications to a back burner, for almost two decades. Then, Pontiac resurrected it in their helicopter-canopied 1986 Trans Sport minivan concept (shown left).
Amazingly, however, it was the Rocket Division that brought HUDs to real-world applications for the consumer.
The 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Indianapolis 500 Pace Car (below) employed a vacuum fluorescent display tube and reflective optics to display speed and other useful data onto the standard production windshield (shown right).
Shortly after, others got on board, including Pontiac that made a HUD standard on their range-topping Bonneville SSEi. By the year 2000 Cadillac had incorporated full-blown thermal imaging into their HUD system and for 2005 Cadillac's STS offered the world's first four-color HUD.
Not shown on the timeline chart was a story released in early 2010 that GM had been working on a full-windshield, laser-based HUD for future applications. Here is that video to provide some additional details.
It was only a matter of time before other electronics were channeled through a HUD to further reduce time spent looking away from the road and by 2013 Cadillac had incorporated their infotainment system to the HUD.
Certainly, GM is not the only manufacturer to offer a HUD in their vehicles but they were one of the earliest to envision it and the first to bring it to market. GM currently offers HUD technology in roughly 30 percent of their new vehicles.

Hiroshima(A) Essay, Research Paper
HiroshimaThe first most powerful bomb, which is called the atom bomb, was droppedon August 6 , 1945. In a city located in Japan, called Hiroshima. Withthese facts and the information i ve read from this one book called Hiroshima I have a very strong opinion which I will speak of now. Ithink that the atomic bomb which was dropped on Hiroshima was a petty,childish way of trying to win a war. It was inhuman, so horrible thatanyone whom lived through it, would most likely be traumatized for therest of their living lives. I don t think what the Americans did was veryright at all. If they wanted a war, not that war is a way to solveanything, then they should have fought the old fashioned way. Rather thanruining so many peoples lives. Atomic bombs are not something that shouldeven be in existence, but they are. There s really nothing we can do aboutthem, because of the more powerful people in this world. They find thisextraordinary weapons to be their only defense. But I think !it s pathetic. They go off an kill so many people, and wounded the rest. They brought many cities to destruction and cost them millions of dollarsto rebuild. You just can t toy with peoples lives like that. I think itshould be illegal. If they wanted to harm certain people, then fight itout with them. Don t kill innocent peoples lives. If they knew theenormous danger and effects of this new bomb, then they shouldn t have
done it. Perhaps they could have found a different way to finish this all. Critical Appraisal- Z for Zachariah and Hiroshima In my personal opinion Z for Zachariah could have been a bitmore accurate in which ways they made the radiation affect people. Firstoff, in Hiroshima , which was a true story, not all the people died fromthe radiation, yes they got very ill from it. Such as fevers, vomiting,hair loss, white blood count going up and down, etc. But most of them diedfrom all the wounds from the bomb. And the radiation didn t kill andpoison all the things within the bomb as it did in Z . Hiroshima hadalot more telling about how the radiation effect the people physicallythan Z did. They were pretty close to getting the same idea of whathappens when people get radiation, but they missed quite a few points. Ican understand why the valley was saved from radiation in Z becausemaybe the bomb, or whatever it was didn t go as far as the valley. Like in Hiroshima they only bombed certain towns at different times. I would saythat Z did an okay job on being accurate with all the i!nformation they stated, such as a fever, vomiting, weakness etc.In Z Anne helped saved his life which made no sense, because in Hiroshima thedoctors are trained, yet they couldn t help most of the people. And whywould Mr.Loomis lab be spared from the bomb, and the radiation. Z hadalot of things which didn t fit very well, but they were quite close.

Serious relationship, marriage, family, love
I believe in true love. I have romantic character and I believe in old-fashioned love. I love music, children and different animals. I'm very romantic and very mature woman at the same time, who does not like to play games. I like to meet new people and study something new about different countries, different nations and so on. People say I look pretty, I think it is the truth) So I consider myself as loving and caring, tender and kind, sincere and trustworthy! I always try to be very polite and accurate. I hate rudeness and impoliteness, greed and lies. I think I am down to the earth and easy going and have a sense of humor. I always try to stay positive, even if it not easy.
I am looking for someone who will be loyal and trustful, someone to talk, to take care of, to go out and have fun with friend. I want to find a good man, i think all women dream to find good man and i dream about beautiful romantic relations. But often such things come to the end very quickly. I have no intention to spend my time with only romanticism. I search for the man who knows what does he wants in life, not only in dreams. I really want to find my happiness. I want my soul don't such emptiness like right now. I want it be filled with love, respect and understanding. I want you to know a lot of things about me and want to know more about you. It is very important for me. My intentions are pure and hope for the same from your side.

News for November 2010
Going Green
At De Franco & Sons we care about the environment and can help you do your part to conserve natural resources. Ask us about:
- Recycled asphalt products – (up to 50% recycled content available)
- Recycled aggregate materials – (up to 100% recycled base and below-ground fillers)
- Interlocking pavers – made with recycled concrete products
- Interlocking retaining wall systems – made with recycled concrete products
- Underground seepage pits – How is this green? Runoff from gutters, sump pumps, or large grassy areas overtax storm drains and waste precious rain water. Seepage pits collect this water and allow it to gradually seep back into the ground, replenishing the aquifer directly beneath your home.
- Xeriscaping – Xeriscaping refers to landscaping designed to reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental water, specifically by automated or manual sprinkler systems (see Wikipedia entry "xeriscaping"). In brief, large areas of water-thirsty grass are replaced with features such as water or rock gardens, utilizing low maintenance surface materials and plantings which tolerate near drought conditions. Often the design is augmented by a rainwater collection system for strategic watering. When water consumption is reduced, not only is it good for the environment, it will save you money, and those savings will be doubled if your sewer bill is calculated by water usage – as it is in most communities. Another benefit is reduced time/expense for the upkeep of grass (mowing, fertilizer, weed control).
Best of all, the green materials and methods listed above provide beautiful results and enhance property values with no sacrifice in durability.

link the wildfires in Alberta to global warming, says a growing chorus of voices this week challenging alarmist rhetoric. One individual who said climate change was behind the Fort McMurray wildfires was Marko Princevac, a University of California/Riverside fire expert, who said: "Based on what we know and in which direction the climate is going, yes, we can expect more frequent super fires." But Canada's Green Party leader Elizabeth May, and a few climate scientists, are pushing back.No "credible scientist" or media outlet should try to
Mike Flannigan, a professor of wildland fire at the University of Alberta, said: "The warmer it is, the more fires we get." He clarified his statements by saying that "it's impossible for scientists to say global warming caused this specific fire." But the horse was out of the barn and the media, ever eager to spread a good story to further the Obama administration's agenda, promptly complied.
Flannigan made these dire prediction in a 2012 report seized by the media this week. In the report, Flannigan says this may become the norm if global warming continues unabated. More recently, Flannigan warned of a possible future where we might see the frequency of wildfires increase because of global warming, but the larger problem is that "science cannot make that claim yet."
Climate scientist Jonathan Overpeck told the AP: "The Alberta wildfires are an excellent example of what we're seeing more and more of: warming means snow melts earlier, soils and vegetation dries out earlier, and the fire season starts earlier. It's a train wreck."
Canada's Green Party leader Elizabeth May has become so concerned by all the misleading attributions to global warming that she released a statement. May criticized these scientists, calling them them irresponsible for simply blaming wildfires on climate change. She said that the government should be focused more on the damage the wildfires have caused.
In her statement, May wrote: "Some reports have suggested that the wildfires are directly caused by climate change. No credible climate scientist would make this claim, and neither do I make this claim."
She also urged a greater focus on the impact of increased severe weather and what "we can do collectively to respond to these events." May told the left-leaning Huffington Post/Canada that she "recognizes that legitimate forest fire experts know better than to make such claims."

11" to 13" – Ultra portable and lightweight. perfect balance between portability and power. This range useful to users who occasionally work from outside.
14" to 16" –Provides the best balance of portability and usability. Small enough for transport, yet powerful enough for moderate use.
17" and larger – Considered as desktop replacements. Incredibly powerful larger screens, high storage capacity, large memory. Perfect for gaming or heavy usage such as video editing or rendering.
Graphics Card:
Graphics card enable the computers to display graphic information. A mixture of RAM and processors aimed specifically at rendering images, graphics cards — sometimes called graphics processing units (GPU) are found on gaming, video playback and media computers that demand higher performance. They can either be integrated, or dedicated. It is best to avoid GPU unless you have real use for it.
Like the Tablets, Smartphone touchscreens is released in window 8. Touch screen allows the user to have more natural interaction with the computer. The screens can support up to 10 points of multi-touch input, which is perfect for complex-yet-intuitive commands like pinching to zoom. But they are heavy and they heat up pretty quickly on your lap. Rotatable screen is fragile and can be easily broken.

Bill Johnson says:
"But please don't use innuendo about our editing practices (which, by the way, is not "censorship"). "
Definition of censorship:
Web Link
'Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body."
Note the inclusion of media outlet (now some people do not consider the weekly to be a "media outlet", but that is for another discussion.). Bill can say it is not censorship, but it is IMHO
My opinion is that the endorsements and the editing of discussions on said topics are carried out in the best interests of the Weekly and not the city as a whole.

As a loyal fan, you may have noticed that we have never in the history of the blog focused a post on a beverage. Why, you ask? Because when you eat out as much as we do, we have to save our calories. And quite frankly, there are few beverages, in our opinion, worthy of those precious calories. That is, until now.
Recently, we received a hot tip about a beverage place we just had to try "down 280" past Target. As you can probably tell from some of our recent posts, it takes a lot to draw us from Southside that far into the burbs. But as soon as we heard about this place, we made immediate and repeated plans to try it. We have been there 4 times in the past month, all in order to do our best to cover it to its fullest. What electromagnetic force was strong enough pull us over and over again through Summit traffic and out the other side? Two words: bubble tea.
What is bubble tea? Here's a Wikipedia article that provides good historical background. Basically, bubble tea shops first appeared in Taiwan in 1980s, typically serving fruit or milk-based teas. Think sweet tea in every imaginable flavor. The "bubbles" are traditionally black tapioca pearls at the bottom of the beverage – but are optional if the texture isn't your thing. In addition to straight up bubble tea, such shops also often carry slushy and milky smoothies and a few other odds and ends.
While bubble tea can be found at a few restaurants around town (Sushi Village, Pho 280), a true bubble tea shop is something different entirely. This is a place where you come to enjoy your bubble tea, sit for awhile, hang out with friends, and possibly have a second bubble tea. There was a great place like this in Philly near where I once had an apartment, and I was there quite a bit. It's not about drinking some tea because you are thirsty, or having a drink with your meal. Drinking bubble tea at a bubble tea shop isn't a means to an end, it is an end in and of itself.
Which is how we found ourselves at Thirstea. Just days after receiving a tip about the place, we were on our way to dinner with friends "down 280" and realized that we were about to pass it. Realizing we had 10 long minutes to spare, we made a quick detour to 170 Inverness Plaza. Sandwiched between a Planet Fitness and a Steak N Shake, there it was:
We walked in and were immediately in front of the counter. To the right was this colorful sign:
Right away, I realized the harsh truth: in order to blog about this properly, we would have to come back. Multiple times. Not to worry friends. We've got you covered.
Mr. Foodie and I are both naturally caffeinated, so we decided to go with smoothies. Mr. Foodie is predictable: if coconut is an option, it must be chosen. I got the taro. Our favorite Vietnamese place in Philly, Nam Phuong, has the best taro smoothie on the planet, and I wanted to see if this one measured up. We wanted bubbles, but they were in the process of making a new batch (a good sign!). Anyway, we didn't want to ruin our dinner or anything like that, obviously. So we just went with the smoothies.
While we waited for our teas, we looked around. Here's what we saw:
Clearly, this is the kind of place where lingering is welcome. In the short time we were there, we observed high school kids doing homework and playing board games. It definitely had that fun hang-out kind of vibe.
Here was a helpful poster. As you readers know, I do love my cross-sectional views!
And these. Not only do they have the tapioca bubbles, but they have several other things you can add to your beverage.
After a few minutes we were handed these:
I have to admit that we were totally enchanted by these little creatures. We had seen bubble tea sealed with plastic on the top, but never with this degree of adorableness.
And oh that tea. First of all, the taro. Sweet luscious taro. If you've never had it before, you just have to take my word for it that it tastes like sweet rainbows. Definitely lived up to my high taro bar. Then the coconut. Coconut juice in a creamy slushy form. Fantastic.
On our way out the door, we saw this:
It took every part of our being not to get one of these to go but, we did have those dinner plans.
The following week, we were back to try more flavors. A mango slush is another must-order for me. With bubbles this time, which were the perfect chewy consistency. The slush tasted exactly like my favorite mango slush at that same Vietnamese place in Philly…. perfect.
I asked if it would be sacrilege to 1) order a cookies and cream smoothie at a bubble tea shop and 2) whether it would be weird to put bubbles in it. I was assured that these were common practices and I was not to be ashamed. Excellent decision:
Truly outstanding. A very slushy but yet still creamy version of a cookies and cream milkshake. Definitely at the top of all of my lifetime cookies and cream experiences.
Side by side:
The week after that, I was back again. This time, Mr. Foodie was out of town, but I brought two friends. We ordered 3 things, and 3 empty cups. It was an extremely messy ordeal but we made it.
First, the Thai tea. Since I wouldn't be able to drink a caffeinated tea on my own, I had to rely on the kindness of friends. Fantastic Thai tea with that classic milky tea taste. Pudding at the bottom. I have to admit I didn't get to try the pudding, but my friends really loved it.
Then, a coconut milk tea. Just as good as the slush. This one also had pudding at the bottom, which I was told was delicious.
Finally, the one I ordered and had the most of: peanut butter chocolate. I know, not a traditional flavor by any means but, come on. I had to go there. Totally yummy. An icy rather than milky consistency, with great chocolate and peanut butter flavor.
But I have to admit, what actually brought us there that last time wasn't the bubble tea or the smoothies or the slushes. It was the waffles.
Our foodie friends from the Nori Secret Indonesian Post fame are completely obsessed with anything pandan. They had requested these incredible pandan crepes at Nori, which turned out to be the highlight of every meal we've had there. So when I saw coconut pandan waffles, I knew who I had to call. Here they are, served piping hot in this little bag:
Here's what they look like out of the bag:
Absolutely outstanding. The batter has coconut shavings in it, which gives it a strong but not overwhelming coconut flavor. Likewise, they are sweet like pandan, and green like pandan. And when you wash them down with a peanut butter smoothie, they make the perfect sinful snack.
To sum it up, we have exercised great restraint (and gained several pounds between us) keeping this place secret for the last month. But it is a secret no more. When you go, take some pics, post them on our Facebook page, or tag us on Instagram – we want to see how many flavors we can all try, and how many of those crazy face creatures are out there.
Mr Foodie just had to make a photo collage of all of those faces; I'd say he did a pretty great job, would you agree?

The King rooms overlooking the garden and pool are clean and comfortable. As we were hiking in King's Canyon we had a parcel of dehydrated food sent to us at the hotel to pick up on arrival. When I called a few days before to find out if it had arrived the staff couldn't find it. After calling the sender and obtaining the name of the person who had signed for it, they eventually found it. We went on a first hike and left some things behind in the same box. A week later, they again didn't have a clue what had happened to it and were at complete loss as to what to do, complete lack of initiative. One of the manager eventually found it. We had breakfast there, not very good. My pancake was horribly sweet and tasted of something straight out of a packet; the hash brown wasn't cooked properly. Dinner was quite good but the service was very slow, despite the fact they weren't many customers.

Matt Corby - Extraordinary Raw Talent
Raw New Talent
Matt Corby - An extremely gifted emerging new talent is going about his business quietly and impressively.
Then - It's hard to forget the extraordinary talent of the then very young, very sweet if not rather naive young man not so long ago, who entered the Australian Idol competition that scans the country looking for fresh new talent. What with his charming good looks, remarkable falsetto and brilliance of depth in his voice, the then 16 year old, left Australia gasping and hungering for more after his performance each week and confirmed in the judges mind that their hard work and hope for finding their Idol for the season had paid off. Never disappointing, he turned in a stellar performance week after week with a vocal range that belied his age. Stunning audiences and judges alike the Australian public voted him through to the last week of the grand final, but he was, unfortunately, pipped at the post to come runner up on the night.
Now - But what have the years following his bittersweet 2007 experience on Idol contained for the young man ask his many fans who voted faithfully for him week by week. In order to answer this we need to take a look at his recent journey and evolutionary progress from pop singer to established alternative artist and musician worthy of the music industries respect. Without doubt it was more than his boyish good looks and talented vocals that wowed audiences each week. The astute listener caught the quality of his music ability, and the level of his musical maturity in the way in which he understood and interpreted songs that could be expected from mature and long established artists who were often striving for such maturity but rarely reaching it in their career.
Young Career - For the past few years since Idol Corby has continued to carve out a path for himself musically, with a sound that has similarities to the raw vocals of a young Van Morrison singing 'Listen to the Lion'; and in the style of the soulful and exquisite voiced Jeff Buckley 'Hallelujah'; and with the musical genius of Cold Play's Chris Martin of 'A Rush of Blood to the Head' fame (think 'The Scientist') Corby adds a refreshing touch to the alternate music scene.
Having since signed with funky UK label Communion and having played to packed capacity crowds at concerts in the trendy village of Camden Town, London, as well as national tours across Australia and the US, Corby is finally making a name for himself through supporting acts such as Mumford and Sons and headlining his own sold out concerts.
Leaving Idol Behind - Shunning his Idol days where many without doubt believed he should have been crowned winner on the night this young man has undergone a radical change from a 16 year old fresh faced runner up on idol and has developed into one of the most exciting alternate artists that has come out Australia in recent years. Along with musicians that are of similar style Mumford and sons, Boy and Bear and BonIver Corby is carving a well deserved name for himself in the music industry and establishing a place in the hearts of his fans world wide.
Sweet Success - November 2011 saw the release of his fourth extended play, Into the Flame on which his hit single 'Brother ' starred. Entering the Aria Singles Chart at number 46 it continued to rise and peaked at No. 3 and in April 2012 made Platinum status and allowed Corby his first taste of success.
Impressive Performances - His concert performances reminiscent of a night with the brilliant Jeff Buckley, will take you on a journey from start to finish winding their way through your mind and soul, stirring your emotion and evoking and awaking internal passion and desire for more of the same. Check out his latest rendition 'Brother' on the YouTube video below - it won't disappoint.
Will this young talent rise to the echelons of the above mentioned musicians the question might be asked.
Possibly, but definitely not in the mainstream arena, but as an emerging alternate voice on music's world stage as a bright and raw new edition.
Hello carter06, I was looking forward to hearing this young man sing, the video is no longer available. Are there other videos you can replace it with? I was unable to hear him sing. When you click to watch the video it tell us that the Warner Group, pulled the video.
I found the rest of the hub interesting, and voted that way and shared.
Warner Bros pulled your video!
If he's anything like Jeff Buckley, I'll have to give him a listen.
Thanks for the new music.
Thanks for introducing me to a fresh, young talent. I will definitely check out his other music.
carter....This is my first intro to Matt..I am sorry to say. Thank you for bringing him to those of us who let him get past us. Wow, Carter, his voice is unique and just the kind I am fond of....he's wonderful. and just for the record....I may be an old Grandma, but even if he couldn't sing a note...THOSE EYES!! Yeah, I could look at him for a while! LOL...UP+ and sharing!
Oh my, what a handsome young man with talent to spare. I am reminded a bit of Dave Matthews when I hear his sound...will be checking him out some more.
Thank you so much. I love learning about fabulous new musicians. It sounds like he has a great career ahead of him.
Voted UP and UABI. Hugs, Maria
Great well written hub and review of the very talented singer and enjoyed the video ! Thanks for introducing me to his music !
Vote up and more !!!
Thank you for the great introduction.
A music hub! You sound like you are a big fan. Now, I'll go up and vote.
Carter, what a complete and total review of a very talented young man and his career. Great job! Voted up and sharing.
Carter06, interesting hub. He has such an unusual voice doesn't he, a sort of cross between Jeff Buckley and Antony Hegarty of Antony and The Johnsons. I will look out for him in the UK sometime.

My family is new to Payson. We decided to move here because we love it here. We had other properties in and around Payson. We hoped we could "Buy Local", but were concerned about the level of skill and honor of local business men and women. Today, some 20 months later, we have changed our minds. We were surprised with the level of concern, the level of expertise and the honor of those we hired to help us.
We decided to do something nice for them and tell you exactly who we found that exceeded our expectations. We've added some history to each vendor and our relationship with them.
We rate ALL of these vendors as an A+ businesses, in service, quality of work and business skills.
This website and accompanying radio spots were done at our expense. We have been blessed and this is our way to do something nice for these people who did their best for us. I paid all of our vendors their asking price for what they did for us. I did not whittle them down or beat them up on price. You can, I didn't.
All have been sworn to secrecy and no matter how many fires you build under their boots, they will not and cannot reveal our identities. If they do, we will remove them from this list of the "Best of Payson" because they promised us they would not identify us.
Last, here is our promise to you:
If you have a problem with one of my "Best of Payson" businesses AND the BBB agrees with your version of the issue AND the business refuses to abide by the BBB decision, I will personally carry out the directives of the BBB up to $500.00.
That's how I feel about this group of people who represented their profession in the best way they knew how.
Membership on this list is not for sale. No one has paid to be here and no one can pay to be placed here.

Minster FM News
Eleven to be made Priests in York Minster
12:00am 3rd June 2012
The Archbishop of York will ordain eleven people to the Priesthood today (Sunday 3rd June 2012) at 10am in York Minster.
Seven men and four women from across the Diocese of York will be ordained Priest, including Andy Grant from Boston Spa, who previously served in HM Forces in 1st Battalion The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment (RGBW).
A week after his ordination, Andy Grant will be going back to Gorazde, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with twelve other ex-RGBW soldiers to re-erect two memorials to four colleagues who died there in September 1994. Andy, along with the Battalion's Padre, the Revd Patrick Irwin, will bless the memorials to Privates Ben Hinton, Philip Armstrong, Martin Dowdell, and Chris Turner.
Andy Grant said:
"I've been serving four parish churches within the Benefice of Bramham, Boston Spa, as a Deacon for a year, and this first year has been a real privilege, and great learning experience. During this period that I was made aware of a plan by Colonel Ian Harris (whom I served under when in the Army) to return to Bosnia with a team to re-dedicate some memorial stones in honour of colleagues who died there back in 1994. The plan has since flourished, and the trip is now a reality, and it is a great honour for me to be invited along to lead the service of re-dedication as a minister.
"It is hard to say beforehand what impact this trip may have upon me, as I was injured in one of the incidents where our colleagues were killed, but it is a unique opportunity to restore these memorial stones to their rightful place, to honour the memory of fallen friends, and one which I would not want to miss. The accident itself was extremely traumatic and I recall God's protecting hand on my life that day in a very real way. What is difficult to understand or explain is why those other lads were not saved - this will remain for me always an unanswerable question in this lifetime."
"I experienced God's call upon my life many years ago and it was unexpected, uninvited, exciting and frightening. I can only describe it as having the usual flow and pattern of my life greatly and wonderfully interrupted; being drawn by God's unseen love and power onto the road of vocation as part of my continuing journey of faith."
Archbishop Sentamu said:
"I have met with all the candidates prior to their ordination and they are a fantastic group of people, each with special gifts to offer in their ministry. I have been deeply gladdened by their passion for Jesus and their desire to be a force for good in our communities. This is such a joyous occasion for all, the ordinands, their friends and families and the parishes and communities they serve. The path to finding God and living for Him is different for each person. For some there is a natural growing to their vocation and for some it is really kick started by an unexpected set of events. These Ordinands come from all walks of life, but are united in their desire to make the love of God known and we pray for them as they begin this exciting new chapter in their ministry"

Been here for a better part of a decade. I've seen alot of guys and gals come and go. I don't have a set of directions this page should go. But I would like to open up some dialog to get more involvement and contribution.
Some ideas I want to bounce around are to add new admins.
JBG has been doing an awesome job since I joined ten years ago. But it would be beneficial to have additional mods to take the workload off of him. Adding new blood will add new ideas to maintain and increase participation.
Mod selection should be based on two criterias. Contribution (measured in Erep points) followed by tenure. Take the top 3% of contributers and make them mods. .
We have certain threads going that should be stickies. Then other threads and folders with minimum traffic that should be scrapped.
These are just some ideas. Would love to hear from the rest of you guys.
