President Obama leaves the White House for Newtown, Connecticut, Dec 16
7:0: Speaks at Newtown High School
Good afternoon everyone. Prayers for the families and strength for PBO.
Let us all Light the Way for our President, and all those who will be comforted and healed, at least in part, by his presence today. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=PBO
I did. Thank you Pamela. As heavy as my heart is, I can't imagine how heavy this load is on President Obama. We Americans made a loud cry after the Giffords shooting and then we moved on. I remember the Brady shooting and we passed laws and nothing but "noise" since then.
WHEN will we move FORWARD on this issue?
The person who legally purchased these recent assault rifles/guns can't be held liable because she too is dead. Background checks, insurance, etc. won't do any good. We need to prevent the manufacturers/retailers from being able to sell them to non-military citizens.
Every morning I think things will be a bit better. Then I start to read and the sadness returns. I think I'll be taking a break until PBO's remarks.
Then I start to read and the sadness returns.
That's it exactly, LL, though I confess I do feel a little better each day. I also feel (want to believe, I guess) that this time will be the straw that broke the backs of average Americans so they'll insist 'Enough! We need to make laws to address this. We are tired of the national tears and bemoaning and we don't want any more next times. Let's celebrate the lives of all these innocents, then start the process of putting our feet down on gun violence.'
I took a break most of the day, LL. Didn't help much, because my heart's right back where it was Friday. God bless President Obama as he takes on this next challenge, comforting the families, their community, and the nation, as no one else could.
Yes, Lord! Please hold the President upright; surround him with love and give him words of love, and encouragement, and inspiration for the families, and for the nation. Grant a measure of peace to the mourning families, even though I can't fathom feeling peaceful in such a situation. Comfort the young siblings who are no doubt confused by the absence of a sister or brother. Comfort each family member. Comfort the children who made it out safely but are now hurting and fearful and lost; some who might even have lost best friends. Dear Lord, for all the little pieces we haven't thought to pray about, but that are necessary to and for each individual who will be involved, I ask that you will provide and I thank you even as you do. This is so unbelievably hard and so totally, totally mind boggling! They were mostly children and their caregivers, Lord.
He can't do it alone. If no bills are passed then there will be nothing for him to sign. It's time to get some folks in Congress that have some damn sense. Worrying about our children's future means nothing if we're killing 'em off!
Thanks for expressing "he can't do it alone," on behalf of all of us, Yardarm. Apparently, a whole big group of people thinks he can. It's so easy to point the finger at the other guy. (I'm looking at you, Michael Moore, and others like you.)
And a journey with no end yet in sight! I think the follow-up this time will be different tho as there is more of an outcry on the part of more Americans.
I should have said 'follow-through'; and by the way I'm not referring to the President, but to the will of the American people to pressure their representatives for change re gun laws.
Pres. Obama's expression when climbing aboard AF1 was so incredibly sad. Even the press corps whom I despise recognized that this was going to be a long night.
This is the younger sister of the deceased Sandy Hook teacher Victoria Soto.
Thanks Bobfr! I know your words spoke for all of us. My deep condolences to Carlee Soto and her family.
Lord, please strengthen President Obama's heart and provide him with words to say that will bring comfort to the families in Conn as well as the nation. Thank you in Jesus name. amen
Well said RanMan. My heart goes out to all those affected by the shootings and I too pray that President Obama has words of comfort for the families of the victims and the American nation.
We remember them. At the rising of the sun and at its going down, we remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter, we remember them. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have joy we crave to share, we remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make, we remember them. When we have achievements that are based on theirs, we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them."
Thank you, Betty. This isn't only beautifully expressed, it's also true. All my life I have felt that about my father who died when I was five years old. "As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, we remember them."
That Bushmaster Assault weapon is a semi automatic. If it is a Automatic weapon, those are illegal under law.
WTF is going on?
Ar-15, hundreds of rounds fired, hundreds found on the shooter.
He was prepared for much worse.
Lord have mercy, hundred of wounds of ammo. On a personal note When a family member of mine developed a full blown mental illness, the first thing I did was get the gun out of the G#! d^&$n house. How in the world did that young man's mother live around all those guns, knowimg that her son had mental health issues?
Excellent question. And they obviously weren't locked away in an inaccessible place.
dotster3 I believe you asked about Jon Favreau, he is in the process of leaving the WH. Cody Keenan (if you remember the Tuscon speech made reference to the book Faces of Hope http://www.amazon.com/Faces-Hope-Babies-Born-11/dp/0757300979 about Christina Taylor Greene with the quote "I hope you jump in rain puddles in heaven.") Also according to @amieparnes of The Hill, I'm told WH speechwriter Cody Keenan, traveling with Obama today, also has a personal connection to CT. Went to high school there.
Godspeed Mr. President; may He give you strength.
The American presidency is the hardest job in the world, especially for those like PBO who perform their duties with all of their heart, mind, body and spirit. I hope that he feels our love and support and that it helps to strengthen him.
Godspeed, sir. I pray that you get through this evening and find some comfort yourself, as you seek to comfort others.
Thanks Chipsticks for all you do here. My prayers are with the President, his family and all the American people at this difficult time.
Privatization of Heath care in Spain. The World has officially lost it's collective minds.
Been sitting here trying to get back to grading essays (on ethics of all things!) Yesterday we had a Pinning Ceremony for our new nursing graduates. So hard to balance such moments of joy and pride with the reality that is going on around us. I'm so glad that at yesterday's ceremony someone said what I feel – that this is a public health issue. It's a safety issue, it's a mental health issue, it's a health disparity issue.
As a nurse and educator I tell my students that it is their responsibility to care for not only the individual, but the community. I feel we have to do something with the trust that is placed in us (#1 yet again in terms of most trusted professions), the fact that we often are the ones with the stories that come from being there when people need comfort. So, we need to speak up, and we need to lead. I know I will do what I can. I am sorry we have no classes until after the January break. While I always exhort my students to pick up the mantle of leadership, I feel like this is a place where focus can be placed.
Justin Sink:
President Obama called a 90-year-old menorah saved from a Long Island temple ravaged by Hurricane Sandy a "symbol of perseverance" at the White House Hanukkah ceremony on Thursday.
The president said the menorah stood as one of the "powerful symbols of [the Hanukkah] spirit" in brief remarks before around 600 guests. The lamp, crafted of solid brass, was saved from the Temple Israel of Long Beach. The house of worship was badly damaged as the hurricane battered the New York coast.
"I'm willing to bet it will survive another 90 years, and another 90 years after that," the president said. "Tonight it serves as another symbol of perseverance."
We would form a human shield around him and all the innocents if we could today and every day. We will not rest until things change for the better in this country.
Our Hearts ~ {{{{{{{PBO's Heart}}}}}}} ~ Our Hearts. Thank you, Judith, this is a beautiful work of group energy and effort.
Does anyone remember a nationwide Hands Across America event a few decades ago? People literally went in certain streets and assigned routes and joined hands, in every state. I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember the reason, but it felt very good to be doing that, as an American. We might want to do something like that again, not just to protest lack of constraints but to come together against "gun terror."
President Obama arrives: http://www.wfsb.com/category/216668/wfsb-eyewitness-news-livestream-1
blessed afternoon all. so much on our president's shoulders… wishing him continued strength and Divine Guidance.
Ah, the procrastination monster has set in…I was thinking about how one of the things we can/do do about gun violence is safety screening. Then I remembered hearing about legislation that was attacking it, and found this:
In the Affordable Care Act, the gun lobby's section is in Title X, starting on page 2,037, line 23. "Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights" contains five provisions mostly dedicated to shutting down conversation about guns in medicine. What do these sections contain?
Wellness and prevention programs may not require the disclosure or collection of information relating to the presence or storage of a lawfully possessed firearm or the use of a firearm. At least the law didn't say we couldn't ask about it, we just have to do it clandestinely.
The next provision states we can't collect data related to owning or using firearms. So we can't write it down? Sounds like an effective way to stifle research related to gun violence so we can no longer prove that easier access to guns increases the risk of mass violence.
Provision three states we can't use or maintain records of individual ownership or possession of firearms or ammunition. I'm fine with that not being allowed in medicine, but that information should be tracked somewhere. A person amassing an arsenal should raise an eyebrow.
Provision four limits the ability to determine rates or eligibility for health insurance based on gun ownership. Now why is that even in there? Title I of the ACA states that insurance will be guaranteed issue so no one can be turned down. Even if they own enough guns to hunt every squirrel in the United States, they will qualify for health insurance. Just so the gun owners have the correct information, rates are based on only four factors – age, location, number of family members, and smoking status. Wait – guns smoke, so maybe they thought that was meant for gun owners.
The final provision related to gun owners is that individuals do not have to disclose they own a gun. We know you can't make people tell the truth, but fortunately most people in the throes of mental anguish and considering violence will tell the truth when asked.http://www.forbes.com/sites/carolynmcclanahan/2012/07/23/gun-owner-rights-and-obamacare-yes-it-is-in-the-law/
THIS is what we are fighting — the insidious push back by the gun lobby against every sane action attempted. As so many have stated, the only way change will happen on this front is from massive push-back by all of We the People.
Some ugly gun lobbyists wormed their way into congressional offices and made some congressman insert this language as a condition of support for the bill. These people are like termites who eat away at the structure of your home. The need to be rooted out.
They are parasites like Grover Norquist. So are the butt-holes on the Supreme Court that passed Citizens United. "Waller fer a doller!"
I see President Obama will only be speaking for about 12 minutes tonight. There really are no adequate words under these most horrific of circumstances, but I know he will try his best. He has always been able to provide reassuring and comforting thoughts after past tragedies, but this will be the toughest task of all.
What on earth is going on in this country? A murder/suicide pact among high school kids who haven't begun to live their lives. Has insanity become contagious?
I know that we here will surround the President and the families in Newtown with our prayers and strength. His grace and compassion never cease to amaze me. I pray daily for his strength, as I know millions of others do. That thought comforts me every day. In my long lifetime, I have not seen another president who takes this job as seriously as he does, nor have I seen one who works as hard and constantly as he does.
Well said Carolyn, I agree completely. We love and support him 100%, and our prayers are with him and those families today.
Yes, and I so want him to have the time to just rest in his home state and enjoy his family. He's worked so hard for us. He's a human being and he needs to just stop and restore his well being like all of the rest of us.
Prayers for the survivors of all the victims in this horrific tragedy. Prayers for the president, as he shoulders the sadness of the country.
VIDEO: Rachel Maddow Urges Ban on Massacre Clips
January 12, 2011
Rachel Maddow is willing to challenge the conventional Washington wisdom that absolutely nothing can be done to stop gun massacres in America because of the power of the NRA.
What if we banned 30-bullet assault weapon magazines that are never used for hunting or self-defense, but only for massacres? Isn't that something all Americans would support – even rightwing Republican politicians?
Tweet from Hartford Courant reporter, comfort dogs from Indiana
My heart breaks for those we lost and our President:-( He's been mourning since his Inauguration..I never forget the night of 2008..I sensed that He was still mourning Toots? his Grandmother passing..while he had an enormous task in front of him..My God bless him …
I agree with you, kasai. He was never really given time to grieve for his own loss – he launched right into protecting the country from another depression (even before he was inaugurated), and he hasn't stopped dealing with crisis after crisis. It ends up finding its own way out.
When VP Biden says: He has courage of steel…is a testament of his actions day in and day out…We are so blessed to have him as our Leader.
Here are the photos of the victims, sweet faces all. The parents of the little girl in the first photo, Jessica Rekos, wrote that they could not imagine life without her. I know all the other parents feel the same—-it's unimaginable.
People are trying to do everything they can think of to help, to combat the feeling of helplessness in the face of all that grief. I read a story at the DesMoines Register that a famous pie lady from Iowa was on her way to Ct. with all her pie making ingredients, hoping to provide some comfort pies and help in that way. People feel like they have to do something!
Dotster, I honestly think we can help by reaching out to our neighbors and friends with school age children. I talked to a few neighbors today who are terrified about sending their kids back to school tomorrow. They don't know what to do, how to protect them. We need to start our dialogues here. First, how to handle these fears at our local schools. Then what are we going to demand of our elected officials–at the town level, the county level, the state level and in the Congress. All great movements start at the ground level. This tragedy has hit people hard and in a place they feel most vulnerable–their children. I'm wondering if we shouldn't promote neighborhood or town wide support groups where parents can share their concerns and coordinate their calls for action. We can all help make this happen.
I agree support is needed. I imagine parents everywhere will have qualms sending their kids off to school next week. I have family in Ct. —-2 young grandchildren in school about an hour away from Sandy Hook. Everyone in their town got an automated call on Fri. that there will be a police presence at their schools and functions for the time being, to give "reassurance" to anxious parents. I imagine they got 100's of calls. I don't think a police presence is the answer, but they responded in the best way they could think of at the moment.
But you have good ideas. I will need to talk to neighbors here in Illinois with school age children to see how they feel.
Here in GA, our school safety program includes campus police for our larger high schools and what are known as compliance officers for the smaller ones. The high school from which I retired in 2009 had a county law enforcement officer (compliance officer) on campus everyday. I'm not sure whether our elementary schools here have compliance officers or not because I don't know any elementary school teachers. Our compliance officer had his own office on campus, and his main, and only, job was ensuring that students and everyone on campus was safe. I mentioned this because it might reduce parents' and grandparents' fears to have some law enforcement officers on elementary and high school campuses nationwide. I can understand how/why you and other grandparents across the nation are worried about your grandkids because I'm a parent and will become a grandparent next year. I've been thinking about all of our kids since this happened, and I worry about them, too.
Good afternoon Chips and TOD family!!! I am so thankful for this place! We can come here in all situations and now that we are not alone. Hugs to all!
I heartily agree! I'm so glad I found my way here. It is a true blessing.
In addition to the We the People petition this one was sent to me by sign on
Tomorrow we need to have 2 primary goals, press for tax breaks for middle class families and DEMAND gun control laws.
Ironically the same folks who oppose raising taxes on the wealthy also support the NRA, go figure.
– GROVER NORQUIST holds the GOP hostage demanding strict adherence to the 'no tax pledge' or risk primary challenge.
– NRA holds GOP hostage by keeping track of their votes on gun regulations using scorecards and ratings.
– BIG OIL doesn't have to worry about losing their corporate welfare because the GOP will block every attempt to end the unnecessary tax breaks.

That's what Gohlmert just said, he wishes the Principal had an Assaukt rifle to fight back.
The right wingers are insane. When the police arrive on a scene with multiple people holding guns, how are they supposed to neutralize the threat?
This is what one of my nephews said in response to a post of mine on FB. I'm not sure whether to bother trying to have a conversation or not. How do they picture this? Does the principal walk around with an automatic weapon slung on her shoulder? If not, she's not going to be able to run and get it without getting killed. And where does she get it from? Her desk, the shelf, the closet? Is it just lying around handy in case someone suffering from mental illness and able to buy any gun he wants shows up? Most people, if suddenly confronted with a mad man with a semi-automatic weapon, would never be able to get a gun, aim right at the guy, and shoot it to subdue. What strange, macho dream world are they living in? Do we include combat training in the curriculum of teachers colleges? Make sure we have kindergarten teachers prepared to shoot to kill? Does she keep the gun in a handy cubby? Do these people really want to live in a world where everyone is armed? My nephew is in Afghanistan, God love him — does he want every Afghani he meets to have a concealed way to kill him? I bet not.
BetseyC, You nephew, young as he may be, has great deal of common sense. Unfortunately, that's what's totally lacking–common sense — from the people who want to arm teachers and other school officials.
My comment got separated from Meta's original post when I brought it to the new thread, so it seems like he was saying what followed. But he, sadly, is on the side of arming all civilians. I'm still wondering if it's worth it to engage the conversation.
Sorry for misreading it. In that case, your nephew really needs some wisdom from you. We all have family members who are brainwashed. We must never stop engaging them in conversations. May be someday we can enlighten them about the truth. I wonder, if he thinks all civilians should be armed, then why should our tax dollars go to pay for all the branches of the military, the police, the sheriffs, U.S. marshals, F.B.I., Boarder Agents, ATF and all other law enforcement authorities?
WH official says that President Obama is the primary author of his speech at the vigil tonight.
He always seems to write the most moving ones, the ones with the most important messages.
My husband and I are just talking about the absolutely HORRIBLE hand President Obama was dealt! The absolute mess GWB left the country in. The chickens are coming home to roost, and it is President Obama's job to clean up the mess. GWB escaped to Dallas behind his guarded fences, with never a thought or care for what is happening now. He is totally disengaged, which, actually I think he was for eight years. What a despicable legacy he left.
I shudder to think where we would be if Mcgrumpy had been elected, or the downward spiral we would be set on if Robney had been elected. Sometimes I think the only thing holding us together is the strong will of President Obama. But…..maybe the American people are beginning to catch on.
It was so encouraging to read about people voluntarily turning in their guns in California…..and hopefully, what starts in California will spread to the rest of the country. Once again I must say how thankful I am for this place and the good souls here.
This is so true, Carolyn. He also was left with 50% of the country having been thoroughly brainwashed to bypass their own needs (and those of their children) in order to subsidize billionaires and millionaires in the vague hope that some miracle (or lucky lottery winning) will catapult them into the top 2%. I just stepped back from trying to talk to right wingers on twitter, and realizing that it's futile. I can only hope that some of those who see this tragedy, and their eyes are opened. Some of them will realize that they have voted for GOP who have demonized teachers, the same teachers who laid down their lives or protected these tiny children. They have voted for GOP who have been slaves to the NRA and the likes of Grover Norquist. It's a bad deck dealt to this President, but there's really nobody else who probably could be handling it as well as President Obama. We're lucky he stepped up to serve when he did.
This song has been one of my faves since I was a little kid. I found is especially comforting after 9/11, and again now. Sorry I don't know how to embed vids, but here's the link.
In addition to being televised by the major networks, PBO's speech will be livestreamed from the following sites (and probably CNN and CBS)
I was going to retweet this but I linked to the link and it's part of Focus on The Family. I will have nothing to do with them. They are a hate filled group. My brother use to work for them.
Keep learning new details——that a teacher pressed her body against the door to try to keep shooter out of her classroom and was shot twice——-that another teacher got her kids out of school through a window——that a kindergarten teacher tried to calm her kids when they heard the gunshots by saying it was probably a custodian retrieving a soccer ball on the roof. Also reminded there are 2 wounded who survived, haven't heard about them yet.
This horror, experienced by all these teachers and all those little kids, can never happen again——–or anything similar—–anywhere. There has to be some positive outcome—–new sensible gun regulations have to result. As someone said, we have an obligation to 20 1st graders.
Yes. And one teacher hiding told her kids that she loved them because that was what she wanted them to hear. Not gunshots.
Yes, she thought they were all going to die. She said she wanted the last thing they heard to be someone telling them they love them. That was the most courageous, selfless, loving thing I have heard…
And the GOP try to demonize these people.
I cry all over again every time I read that. People try and demonize us all the time….wonder if they'll rethink that now?
I would add that we have an obligation to those parents and adults who are more brave than anyone of our congressmen/women who would rather protect NRA profits over children's lives.

((((((((((((((( Thank you, DF for all that you do for the children and parents))))))))))))))) I pray you will hold up through this long journey that we all will be addressing later on this issue. Let us pray hard to get all of the wonderful teachers, their families, the administration and school boards in CT., and especially at Sandy Hook.
Thank you DF! Hugs to you thru all this. I have a cousin who lives close to all of this. She has grandchildren in school not far from here it all is to close to all of us.
I don't know if I can watch PBO do the memorial. I know he will ease the pain a little but it would hurt far more to watch him have to do this, knowing that tho he may have a spine of steel, he still is a man with a sensitive spirit especially where kids are concerned.
CNN reports that the entire vigil is supposed to last about 2 hours tonight, lots of speakers in addition to President Obama.
Someone at a memorial made an image of the American flag using the names of the victims
My prayer is that God, by His grace and mercy, will give you all (especially President Obama, and the family and friends of the departed)the strength to cope with this horrendous loss.
In case people aren't reading all the posts here, my link on # 105 let's you write something personal to the families. I did this already…it's cathartic

and http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=1
High school auditorium already looks full for the vigil, several hundred more waiting in line, according to CNN. I don't know where they are going to put everyone.
Daughter of principal writes "My mom went down in a blaze of glory …." —–reflecting on the news that her mom, the principal, lunged at the shooter and yelled at a teacher down the hall to get back in her room and lock the door—-in her final moments.

"Your mouth is stuck to a thousand fags," cheerfully raps the one known as Lovefoxxx at the end of the song called "Jager Yoga." And this is Cansei de Ser Sexy's serious album. No, really—next song's about spousal abuse. But fuck the heck, you guys: No one knows what to do with CSS. Not Sub Pop, not Apple, not proponents of, uh, "nu-rave." I guess we're supposed to dance, guiltily: "Let's Reggae All Night" has a nice locked-in squelch to it, but I wish the line I heard as "let's break the bed in half" wasn't actually "break my back in half." Which prompts the question: Does this band even get its own shtick? Why did they call the album Donkey? Why does "Reggae All Night" have nothing to do with reggae?
However ill-conceived their tinny beats, swiped hooks—"Rat Is Dead (Rage)" grooves on a chuggy Hives riff—and questionable "fun" quotient, these dance-punk displacements here present a tuneful, synth-shined step up from their more annoyingly hit-or-miss debut (which began with a chant called "CSS Suxx"). But their newfound tastefulness comes at a cost: less personality, annoying or not.
Maybe they are generic-alt hangers-on. But their bid for a career is at least as good as, like, Santogold's.

I'm really glad you guys aren't gushing about the band Wire. I get the Wire and The Shield confused all the time. One of them comes highly recommended to me. I'm gonna assume it's The Wire, then. Maybe I'll go through it when I'm done with Deadwood. | |

jill you missed the 'where did rock 'n roll come from' sounds. If I may be so bold. Nothing much!!!! | |

@Paul, I think the Killing is being redone here. And the other two are being buzzed about so they'll probably be coming soon, remade for the US because we're sooooooo precious. | |

If I say that it was very average would that appease you. Not true ofcourse. It was in the gallery of the museum. One of the oddest places I have seen a performance but ever so moving. | |

What's the most youv're played a record on the day you bought it? Hello Amanda. | |
Fri. 5/6/11 9:29am
listener james from westwood:
@annie: it's partly artificial. milch tried dialog that was more oath-based, but it ended up sounding yosemite-sam-like. they decided to go the profanity route. more about creating a mood of the era and place's roughness, in ways that a modern ear would still recognize. | |
Fri. 5/6/11 9:29am
Hello Amanda.. Hmm for an LP I'd say seven times - 45 maybe 20. | |

morning amanda! | |
Fri. 5/6/11 9:31am
Deadwood is another great show, Glenn I agree totally with the Shakespeare reference, once you get into the dialogue it is shakespearean. Paul, Bodega,The Killing has been remade and is running on AMC, saw the first 4 episodes online, It's pretty good, but I'd love to see the Danish original. | |
Fri. 5/6/11 9:31am
i think i read that in the believer. | |

I haven't looked into the apps yet. is there one for droid? and how does it work, do you have a show archived on your phone like a podcast? so you can listen on the subway without an internet connect? a good friend is responsible for HBOGO, she'll be happy to hear of the chatter. | |

a good example of high and low brow juxtaposition. "Deadwood: Amalgamation and Capital (#2.9)" (2005) Charlie Utter: I'd best go, lest Mr. Amalgamation and capital takes one through the fucking head.

New Zealand oil spill threatens seabirds
Posted on: 10 Oct 2011
BirdLife have said that urgent action is needed to avoid an environmental disaster and to minimise seabird deaths as a result of the oil spill off the Bay of Plenty coast.
Forest and Bird (BirdLife in New Zealand) Seabird Advocate Karen Baird said many seabird species are particularly vulnerable now because they are breeding, and she questioned the initial official response to the oil spill off the northern coast of North Island. The container ship Rena is spilling heavy fuel oil after becoming stuck on Astrolabe Reef, near Tauranga, early on Wednesday. The Rena is carrying around 1,700 tonnes of fuel oil and some seabird deaths have already been reported after fuel oil spilled from holes in the ship's hull.
"We need to ask why booms were not put around this ship yesterday to contain any release of oil. The sea conditions were good and containing the spill is much better than using toxic dispersants on kilometres of oil slick", she said. "With no containment, we now need to keep seabirds off the slicks before they get contaminated. Having people go out in boats to keep the birds away from the spillage will save more birds and be better than waiting for the bodies or distressed oiled birds to wash up on shore."
The major risks will be to seabirds such as terns, gulls, gannets, penguins, petrels and shearwaters, which either dive into the water or land on its surface to feed. "Landing in the oil slick is a death sentence for these birds. Their feathers become clogged with oil and they can sink or drown, or be unable to fly. Swallowing even small amounts of oil can be fatal to them or their chicks when they try to feed them", Baird said.
Australasian Gannets have a large breeding colony on White Island and Fluttering Shearwaters are currently sitting on eggs and feeding at sea in large flocks. Diving-petrel eggs are hatching and the adults will be feeding on krill and small fish to feed them. Great-winged Petrels are breeding on Mt Maunganui and islands in the area, and will be feeding in waters around the ship grounding, while White-faced Storm-petrels are feeding on plankton on the sea's surface as they prepare to lay their eggs. New Zealand is justifiably known as the seabird capital of the world. A total of 85 species breed in New Zealand and nearly half of these breed nowhere else.
Environmental and conservation organisations are mobilising volunteers to help deal with the effects of the oil spill.

Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada / April 13, 2012
Clarke Anger put 11 sandwich spreads on a slice of toast and took a bit of it. Toppings included mayonnaise, mustard, jam, peanut butter, creamed honey, butter, liquid honey, apricot jelly, Nutella, Cheez Whiz and Dijon mustard.
- must swallow at least one bite and taste all toppings
- each spread must be distinct (may not use two types of jam, etc.)
- must follow form of current world record holder
- must provide video evidence
Emily Patricia
Way to bring it to the next level. Great job, Dustin! You must have an iron stomach.
Jared Baker
Mayo and mustard should be required
Emily Patricia
Dan, I like that idea! What say you, Clark?
So pretty much as long as it comes from a different container? Even if it's Peanut Butter and Co Creamy Peanut Butter and Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter?
Dan Rollman
To simplify the category and expand its potential, what about changing that rule to "may not spread any topping more than once"? Let's just allow creamed honey, liquid honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, raspberry jam, strawberry jam, etc.
Emily Patricia
I think distinct can mean distint flavors. What should not be accepted, I would think, would be different brands of the same thing. Or jam vs jelly.
Emily Patricia
I'm going to try to beat this! Definitely need to clear up what counts as different. Like I would think almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, should count as different spreads. And what about different types of peanut butter? But would crunchy vs creamy count? If liquid vs creamed honey counts, seems like it should. Plus I feel like the idea is all the different flavors, so I think it'd be fun to allow different jelly flavors, etc. Let's figure this out so I can have an excuse to buy more peanut butter and nutella!!!
Jared Baker
Liquid honey is liquid and creamed honey is solid
Corey Henderson
Ahh. Neat category. The title needs work.
I'm interested to know what the difference between creamed honey and liquid honey is.

These nachos were a huge surprise, which won't surprise you when you see the iPhone photos of them. I spent my day buying fluffy pillows at IKEA and wanted a burger, so we stopped at two8two Burger in Cobble Hill. When I came back from the restroom, Nozomi said "You're going to be excited." I was, strictly because there was nachos on this menu.
After being alerted by Jenny Miller (namedrop) about Domo Taco's Nacho Tots, I decided I needed to try these out. We've been duped before by the word Nacho, so I went to try them. Shawn tried them as well. We both found them unconventional, so we decided to blog about them unconventionally, through an IM.
Taqueria nachos have a tendency to be messy take out containers that need to be finished with a fork and lots of napkins. At Villa Pancho Taqueria in Bed Stuy, the nachos remained true to taqueria standers but were surprisingly sturdy and the forks remained reserved for Lee's hamburger burrito (complete with fries wrapped inside).
Prior to attending a bar crawl for Delta Spirit's new album, I forced Maraysa to eat nachos in Greenpoint. We've been to Acapulco and to Vamos Al Tequila and both were pretty lovely, so we chose Papacito's. Papacito's offers a great variety of vegan and vegetarian options, but if I was that into either of those, I probably wouldn't be blogging about nachos.
We're stretching the concept of nachos for you aren't we? Angry that we've been reviewing Irish Nachos and now Totchos? Or are you blown away at how other foods are just jealous of the awesomeness of 'cho to the point that they try and pretend they are brothers from another mother? Yea, that's what I thought. This week: TOTCHOS.

A Few Favorite Journal Writing Tools and Resources
We usually understand a journal to be a place for writing about ourselves, but journals can be used for plenty of other purposes, many of which are especially useful to writers.
I've had my share of adventures in journal writing. As a teen, I kept a diary. Later, I had a poetry journal. I tried dream journaling, art journaling, and sometimes I keep a gratitude journal.
I believe journal writing is a huge boon to writers, especially when we're not working on a specific project or when we're looking for our next big project.
Today, I'd like to share a few of my favorite journal writing tools and resources.
A Place to Create
It's been said a million times: If you want to be a writer, you have to write. I would add that if you want to be creative, you have to create. Sitting around and waiting for a big, blockbuster idea won't do you any good. You've got to practice. And keeping a journal is a great way to practice writing and foster creativity every single day.
What I love best about my journal is that there are no rules. It's my own little creative space. I use it for freewriting, sketching, and writing down my thoughts. I don't write in my journal every day, but before I started blogging and writing professionally, I was pretty diligent about using my journal for routine writing practice.
I've been poking around the web in search of some of the best tools and resources for journaling with an emphasis on creativity and writing. Here's what I found:
Moleskine Journals
Moleskines are the most popular notebooks for writers and artists. They come in various sizes ranging from pocket-sized to 8 x 10 (inches) and with various paper, including blank or lined pages, thick paper, or regular note paper. There's a pocket in the back, a placeholder ribbon, and a strap that keeps the journal closed. Moleskines were popular with Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Ernest Hemingway, so they've got solid endorsement. I've had one for several years but only recently started using it and discovered that I absolutely love it.
The Artist's Way
This classic book for writers and artists is well known for giving us "morning pages." It has inspired writers and artists to create on a daily basis. The Artist's Way has become a staple among all kinds of creatives from filmmakers to crafters. You're sure to find something to help you establish a writing routine, improve your writing skills, or overcome writer's block in this book, which includes a twelve-week program packed with activities and exercises that you can do.
Paper Mate Profile Pens
I've never been into fancy, expensive pens. Frankly, I go through far too many pens to spend a lot of money on them, and we all know how easily pens get lost. I also like to have a range of colors at my disposal. I'll use a color that matches my mood, or I'll use colors to create outlines and mind maps that are color coded and easy to navigate. These Paper Mate Profile Pens are the best! They write smoothly, have a nice grip, and are affordable. Plus, you can buy them singly or in a package of assorted colors. They're also great for doodling and sketching in the margins!
Day One Journal App
One of the great things about technology for writers is that it provides a simple way to create, organize, and store your work. Gone are the days when we filled notebooks with novels and then transcribed them on typewriters. New technology is just as useful for journaling and keeping notes. Day One is a journal app available for the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It's one of the most popular journal apps with features that include password lock, calendar view, photos, and inspirational messages, plus it syncs with iCloud and Dropbox.
Wreck This Journal
Wreck This Journal unleashes your inner artist and allows you to be creative without fear of failure because the journal is designed to be wrecked. It's a great way to get your creativity out of the box. As you work your way through the journal, you'll cut, tear, and thrash the book. You start letting go of constraints and inhibitions, allowing yourself to make mistakes and create poorly crafted prose, giving your creativity the courage it needs to take risks.
A Few More Goodies
- I love this: 1000 Journals traveled from hand to hand throughout the world.
- Here at Writing Forward, we've talked a lot about writing groups, but did you know there are also journal groups? (I didn't!)
- Before Moleskine, this was my favorite journal: The Watson-Guptill Sketchbook. I've been using these for well over a decade and they house my most precious journal writing material (freewrites, poems, reflective journals, drawings). They come in various sizes and colors, and they feature hard covers and blank, unlined pages.
- Last but not least, this lovely little video explains the art of journaling and the freedom that a journal brings:
People use journals for a variety of purposes: for self-improvement, personal reflection, heritage preservation, creativity, tracking professional progress, and writing practice. Do you keep a journal or use a notebook? How has journal writing helped you? Got any journaling tips or resources to add to this list? Leave a comment, and keep journaling!

Opening statements are to begin today in the aggravated murder trial of Goldy Thompson, the second of two brothers charged in the Oct. 24, 2006, slayings of three men in a boarded-up home on Ohio Street.
Thompson, 31, is charged with three counts of aggravated murder, each with gun specifications. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Thompson and his brother, Stoney Thompson, 28, were charged with the deaths of Michael York, Kenneth Nicholson, and Todd Archambeau. The three men were found brutally murdered in Archambeau s home.
After a six-day trial, a jury convicted the younger Thompson on June 10 of three counts of aggravated murder with gun specifications. Judge Ruth Ann Franks sentenced him June 27 to three consecutive life sentences without parole.
A jury of eight women and four men was selected to hear the case against Goldy Thompson, over which Judge Franks also will preside.

Couponers for free products unite!
Both Walmart and Target are now refusing to take my coupons that would make their coupons free. Target I don't mind so much because they are easily avoidable, but Walmart just offers too many deals for free items with MQs. Their corporate website says that they will take any legitimate manufacturer coupon whether it be clipped from the newspaper, internet, or mailed, but the local Walmart (on Jefferson at least) refuses to take them no matter what. I'm sad that I'm loosing out on so many good deals. I sent a letter to their corporate office and urge you to do the same! Here's a link to their coupon policy to print and take into the store: Walmartstores.com: Walmart Coupon Policy and here's a link to send a message to corporate: Walmartstores.com: Feedback Join me and we will win back our free items!!! Here's what corporate sent me back: Thank you for your message. Dear Crystal, Thank you for your recent correspondence regarding the acceptance of coupons at Walmart. Our guidelines generally allow for the following types of coupons to be accepted: - manufacturer coupons (Cents Off) - free merchandise (or manufacturer's Buy-One-Get-One-Free) coupons - store coupons - internet coupons - soft drink container caps A salaried manager may refuse to accept a coupon if it does not meet certain criteria. Coupon guidelines and limits include but are not limited to the following: Walmart only accepts coupons for merchandise we sell and only when presented at the time of purchase. Coupons should have an expiration date and be presented within the valid dates. Walmart will not accept expired coupons or double/triple coupons. Internet coupons should be legible and say "Manufacturer Coupon_ and there should be a valid remit address for the manufacturer and scannable bar code. Store Coupons must reflect a specific sale price or original price and must be available to all customers. For 'Free' merchandise coupons, customers will not receive cash back -- the cashier will adjust the value of the coupon to the actual retail of the item at the time of sale. In addition, only one coupon per item is permitted and use of 40 or more coupons per transaction will require approval by a Customer Service Manager. Sincerely, Walmart Customer Care So basically even the corporate office says we have a right to use them. "A salaried manager may refuse to accept a coupon if it does not meet certain criteria." says that they can refuse them if they don't look legitimate not because they don't want to give us our free items. Hopefully this will be a win in our column. I'll keep you updated.

Fortunately, my Walmart is great with all coupons, including ones that give me free products and even overage. Good luck in your quest. |

I hear you!!!! I work/shop in Fort Wayne, and using coupons is like pulling teeth! They just don't understand how coupons work! However, I have found the Target over by Jefferson Pointe (Illinois Rd.) to be fairly coupon friendly......though I haven't attempted the "free after Q" there yet.......

I don't think I've ever used a free product coupon, but my Target has always been fine about coupons. I've heard so many bad things about Wal-Mart that I don't even try to use coupons there.

Fashion cycles tend to repeat themselves every 2-3 decades. Many returning styles are fun and updated making for a fresh look. For instance, last summer I bought a really cute retro shirt at Elder Beerman. It was reminiscent of the 1960's style, but with an updated twist and made from a crepe material. It was very pretty, but the first time I wore it, my boss asked me if I was going on tour with the Partridge Family. I still liked the shirt, I just bought a tambourine to carry around when I wore it.
There are, however, some styles that I hope never come back in style….
Conceptually, the leisure suit was a fashionable (a-hem), inexpensive (cheap), comfortable (I'll give you that) alternative that could be worn at the office or out on the town. Typically, they were made from synthetic material, sometimes shiny. The jacket boasted a wide lapel and large collar. The always-colorful and often bold-patterned shirt was worn open with the collar over the jacket collar. The pants were bell-bottomed and worn over platform shoes.
If you were really a fashion-forward type of guy in the 70s, you could wear the Full Cleveland. The Full Cleveland is a leisure suit, typically powder blue, worn with a white patent leather, or plastic, belt and matching shoes. NICE!
I'm not just going to pick on male fashionistas. We women of the 70s also were afflicted with poor taste. Enter the Disco Era Jumpsuit. I confess I have owned a jumpsuit….or two. I know, I know…
How could anyone think these are a good idea? You have to disrobe just to answer nature's call.
Jumpsuits were made from all sorts of fabrics, from polyester to leather. They may or may not have a belt and the legs may be cropped or bell-bottomed. We had endless options for looking hideous. Check it out!

With the relase cards like Raven who does his job but aren't as vurnable to SoA and has higher power (7 power is weak for 5 star in current meta), Kolos shouldn't be banned. He can't 0HKO anymore. He has 5 stars. Nightmare isn't really strong clan in general so it wouldn't be OP for them. Just my 2 cents.
I had 1350 elo in a past, im not a random Kolos lover, also i don't play Nightmare, i just think this clan is cool and deserves some love and this elo ban is not fair in my opinion.
It's not that he's overpowered, it's just that if you don't have ability SOA (which a lot of clans just don't have...Skeelz, Pussycats, Rescue, All Stars) you have a complete guess between 0 and 8 as to how many pillz this Kolos is using. Guess correctly and the match is half won sure, but guess very wrongly and the match is close to finished if there's Oshitsune & Edwin waiting. Add in trying to guess if the opponent will play Artus or Kolos and you've got one hell of a coin flip.
"(7 power is weak for 5 star in current meta)"
That's true if they don't have SOB, but Kolos, being in the Nightmare clan...
"Nightmare isn't really strong clan in general" , not so strong, but they are still more common at the moment than Ulu Watu, Sentinel, Berzerk, La Junta and Bangers, in my opinion.
@ Oxen: I think you are talking about Dacote, not Tank .
And about Lou, even I am a Roots lover, I don't dare to dream that Lou will be unbanned by UR staff, since she belongs to the playing style they hate , one winning turn with Lou and the defensive Roots cards will make your opponents know how huge a 8 life gap is, even when Jeena is banned, you can replace her with heavy defender from other clans, not mentioned the rest of the Roots.
However, if Kolos is unbanned, so is Lou.
Cards that decide the game because of 50/50 situations have been banned for a reason. Playing against Kolos and guessing if hes using 0 or 8 pills isnt skillful or fun. Even mechakolos has been getting player banned for a reason, its just stupid to play againt. At least Raven has a weakness against soa clans which Kolos just ignores. Anyways Nightmare are in a perfect spot right now and really shouldnt be getitng messed with.
Raven requires both Ability, bonus, fury, and a team consisting of all La Junta in-order to pull off 12 damage.
Kolos just needs fury and his ability which is protected by his bonus.
So Kolos can deal 12 damage while Raven can't while facing GHEIST, Roots, Nightmare, Piranhas, Pussycats, and all cards with stop opponent bonus as a ability. Its around a 200 card difference and the main reason why Kolos is banned.
Cards that can Stop a 12 damage Kolos consist of all ability SOA, all SOA/SOB cards, and all damage reducing abilities. which consist of 2-5 cards from each clan and only 1-3 being actually used in elo matches leaves around 100 at most counters being more along the lines of 60 being actually used in elo. (all based on guestimations)
The cant 1 hit ko thing is a decent point but yet again, hes still able to 1 hit ko as Signomi mentioned while Raven couldn't (support ability).
